Let's all congratulate us with another cup of tea
who: Finn Nolastname, Poe Dameron, AND YOU
what: A FINNDAY CELEBRATION. One year in quarantine and one year since Finn got his name
when: Backdated to November 11th
where: Finn and Poe's apartment
warnings: None!
[ Poe didn't keep this party a secret. Not from Finn, and certainly not from anyone in quarantine. He posted to the network about it more than once, sent invitations to every friend Finn has ever mentioned, and has been preparing noisily for it for almost two weeks.
He might have gone a little overboard.
There's catering, some of it exotic and some of it more on the bland side and all of it painfully healthy. Even the desserts are healthy--fruit salads and delicate little pastries with unprocessed sugar and dark chocolate, sweetness cut with savory or bitter so none of it is overwhelming. The dessert feature is a "cake" constructed entirely of fruit from around Riverview, held together by magic and served in slices. The magic only holds until you stick a fork in the slice, but by then you should have it on a plate anyway, right?
Beyond the catering, Poe got permission from Jyn to borrow her bottomless shrimp dispenser, so there's that. The Mystery Flavor is kumquat chutney dipped and you'd better believe that Poe has eaten half his weight in kumquat chutney shrimp by the time the party actually rolls around. There's also one broccoli pizza positioned carefully in the place of honor at the center of the buffet table. Poe couldn't help himself.
Beyond the food, there are games set up all around the apartment. Card games, board games, a couple takes on carnival games--even a board pinned up against one wall with balloons fixed to it, along with a set of darts set up a short distance away. It's fairly obvious what that one is for. Each balloon has a little folded-up paper inside with a code for a gift card at various places around town--and a sign that says "Don't be an asshole, leave some for other people (Jyn)."
When Poe isn't up in everyone's business making sure people are having fun, or hovering near Finn making sure he's having fun, he's still easy enough to spot--he's in the corner, sprawled on a chair with BB-8 resting against his ankles.
Yeah, he might have gone overboard, but as far as he's concerned Finn deserves the best. ]

no subject
Finn knows that by all technicalities, he doesn't belong in Riverview. He knows that when the time comes, he'll leave. But he fits. He has people that he fits with. Some where it took work, cautious feeling out, to settle there. Some he could fall into step with without even trying. More than he thought he could ever get. (More than he's inclined to think he deserves, even with the edges of that sentiment slowly being smoothed over with time.)
Chyler's always been easy to fall into step with. They're a lot alike.
Today feels like a good day to appreciate that. ]
I'd think about it. Not sure I could afford it. [ They'd never get their security deposit back if they took out a wall. ] Maybe we could set something up at headquarters. Give us more room to work with. Just target practice with extra work, right?
[ One week later Chyler and Finn were practicing with throwing knives, probably, those Extra wonders. ]
