This Might Be My Favorite Submission So Far

One day Alison and Mike receive a letter. It’s from a woman asking very politely if she could bring her father to see Button House; he was stationed there for a time during WWII and is now very elderly - his fondest wish is to see the house one last time before he dies. The letter is signed by the woman, her surname is Havers.

Alison (forgetting that the Captain mentioned that name in ‘Redding Weddy’) asks Cap if he knew or remembers anyone called Havers from his time in Button House. Very quietly he tells her that yes, he knew a Havers, why? She explains the situation, that he wants to come and look at the house before he dies. When the Captain doesn’t answer, Alison asks if everything is okay. His only response is a very quiet, “Yes. I should like to see him again.”

So Alison replies to the woman, agrees that she and her father can come to the house. To make the journey a little easier on the old man, they agree that they can spend the night so he’s not doing to much exerting travelling in one day.

When they arrive, the Captain is at the door with Alison to greet them although they can’t see him. It’s his Havers for sure. He has aged, obviously, well into his nineties by now, but it’s definitely him. Cap could never forget that smile. He watches Havers as he, his daughter, Alison and Mike slowly make their way around the house. He remembers walking these same hallways with Havers, an unspoken truth between them beating like a heart. It’s bittersweet, seeing him again after so long, but he’s glad he got this final chance.

He talks to Havers as they all go around the house. Pointing at things and down hallways, asking him “Remember when we...” followed by a question Havers won’t answer. Alison can hear it but she’s kind enough not to say anything. She knows this is between Cap and Havers.

The Captain goes into Havers’ room that night, just to get a look at him alone. Say the things he didn’t want to say in front of Alison, even though Havers is asleep and wouldn’t hear him anyway.

But then something happens - Havers begins to glow and too late Cap realises that he’s dying. He calls for Alison, but she’s fast asleep elsewhere in the house and wouldn’t come. Havers’ spirit is there and he can see Cap now.

“Captain,” he says, “is that really you?”

“Yes,” Cap replies weakly. “I... I have missed you Havers.”

“I have missed you too. Am I... dead?”

Cap sniffs. “Yes. Yes, I’m afraid so.”

“Oh.” He sounds underwhelmed, like he expected more from death. “Well. I am glad I got this chance to see you again before I go. I missed you every day after I left. I came to your funeral, sir.”

“I saw,” Cap replies, “I was there.”

At that, Havers’ spirit laughs and Cap suddenly doesn’t care. He knows times have changed now, he knows that he would be accepted by now if he’d lived long enough. In another life he and Havers could have worked, they could have been happy.

So he gives in and says, “I loved you, Havers.”

Havers gives a weak smile, returns, “I loved you too.”

And then he moves on, and he leaves Cap for the second time.

# erik apologist?? he did nothing wrong

Cadet White *sensing the chemistry between Jack & David and realizing he'd only be a third wheel*:

there’s also something to be said about erik crying over charles not being on his side and raven kissing him on the head before she leaves him

Pats all of them 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

i’m just a guy. More or less

Wolffe: I've always been curious, what exactly do they teach you at the temples?

Shaak-Ti: Bantha-back riding

Mace Windu: Amateur Theatre

Plo Koon: Baking and Knitting

Qui-Gon: Weed

Obi-Wan: General Slutiness

Cody: Not like, fighting or strategy?

Anakin: I mean that too.

Yoda: Important it was not, before the war.

This site is great for people who have opinions so esoteric as to be functionally useless

Cody: Ugh.

Obi-Wan: What???

Cody: I swear to god, if you ask Boga if she ‘wants to go walkies’ in that high pitched tone that gets her all excited, one more time-

Obi-Wan: Sometimes we have to get them excited for the walkies!

Cody: She’s a twenty-six foot lizard! She spun in a circle and threw me into a wall! She’s gonna step on the wrong Jedi master one day and kill them!

Obi-Wan: Oh you’re being dramatic.

Cody: What if she steps on Master Yaddle and initiate Grogu one day, huh??? Are they gonna survive her big paws??

Obi-Wan: I notice how you left Grandmaster out of that scenario.

Cody: He made me drink swamp water last week and told me it was tea! I won’t cry at his funeral and now I’m determined to outlive him!

Obi-Wan: Babe. It’s traditional for the lineage. Normally he gets us with it when we’re still tiny, but it provides very important bacteria for gut health. I used to be intolerant to most Mandalorian seed spices before he gave it to me.

Cody: …so he wasn’t just torturing his new bu’ad-in-law?

Obi-Wan: Two things can be possible.
