Ficathon 2009: "Draw the Sword (Forget the Scabbard)"
Title: Draw the Sword (Forget the Scabbard)
Author: Elena
Fandom: Star Wars EU
Timeframe: AU of Bloodlines
Characters (so far): Syal Antilles, Derek "Hobbie" Klivian, Wes Janson, Cha Niathal
Genre: Adventure/Drama/Humor
Prompts: Spies, pies, surprise
Summary: Syal Antilles is a good pilot and a dutiful officer, but there are some lines she won't cross, some things she can't do. She's a lot like her father that way, and like her father once did, she's about to accelerate an already smoldering conflict into full-blown war...
Notes: virusq asked for "a fic starring Wedge, Wes and Hobbie. On the secondary character/pairings section of the form, I have listed that I really like the pirates and smugglers of the series: Mirax, Booster, Karrde, Tapper, etc., so if you can work in a piratey/smuggly/political adventure with those characters or even original characters along that theme, I would be incredibly happy! (But, you know, no pressure.) The only restriction I have is on Jedi: Please no omnipowerful spoonbenders. Your keywords, unfortunately, are: Spies, Pies and Surprise." Typical for me, this request spawned a 10+ chapter fic - I'm not sure if I should be thanking her or cursing her for breaking me out of my two-year fanfic writing rut, but she has, and this is the result. I hope you all enjoy the first chapter!
