X-Wing Rogue Squadron/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The romance between Myn Donos and Lara Notsil. Until he learns that she is actually Gara Petothel, the spy who killed his previous squadron.
  • Kirney's faithful astromech begging her to not make a Heroic Sacrifice in the name of Redemption Equals Death. May double as a Tear Jerker.

Don't.

  • In any of the Wraith Squadron books, any time the words "morale" and "boost" are in close proximity, an adorably Zany Scheme will ensue shortly. Two notable ones are Runt's formal dance, and Wedge's "rebellion of anonymity" on the Mon Remonda.
  • Wedge and Tycho are the only remaining members of Red Flight still flying after four-vs-thirty fight, and both of their fighters are badly damaged. Any further combat will likely kill them. Enter the Strike The Moons Flightknife, here to prove that there's more to Adumari honor than who you've managed to kill. Strike The Moons buys time for the last of Red Flight to escape by attacking a nominally friendly squadron.

Captain ke Mattino: "You have won your departure. I will not allow some honor-grubber to deprive you of it in this fashion."

    • And then Wedge finds out later that Mattino died in the battle, which goes straight into Tear Jerker territory.
