Summary
Cody has a nightmare and spends a quiet day in Stardew Valley.
---
Another bomb rolls and Cody is blinking up at wooden planks rather than concrete walls. Light flashes without a grenade, and Cody picks out a blanket, a dog, an unlit fireplace. Rain pelts against the window and roof. His heart thunders in his ears, echoed by the storm outside.
Right. He's in Pelican Town, and the war is over.

Summary
But for a brief, shining moment, FN-2187 is more. He’s a big deal, and when he offers to drive Poe back out of the shadows of the Order, Poe raises an eyebrow. “I’ll drive,” Poe says, and the relief must show on 87’s face because Poe’s incredulous laugh seems involuntary. “You were going to drive and you don’t even know how?”
--
Poe crashes into the First Order compound, and Finn and Poe seize the chance to fly in a new direction. Together, they discover roadtrip adventures like vending machine snacks, Cracker Barrel, a poorly run motel, and thinking about your companion a normal amount.

What To Do When Your Cool Sibling’s Friend Actually Shows Up by LeanMeanSaltineMachine for Will_T

Summary
Whitley is hosting his college graduation party in his apartment. He invited Weiss, of course, and shared high school friends, but he didn't expect any of them to show up. He didn't expect Ruby to make herself at home in his kitchen. He definitely didn't expect her to remember him. And he certainly didn't expect those old, inconvenient feelings to come roaring back to life.
Written for RWBY Rarepair Exchange 2024!
----
Whitley makes a point to be the life of any party he hosts, and a scintillating conversation partner for any event he graces. He is charming, refined, and occasionally magnanimous. He does not take breaks, especially not for something held in his honor.
Ruby does not listen to his explanation, and her grip is far stronger than expected for a person of her stature as she steers him into the kitchen.

Summary
Rhoklan looked down at the woven liana floor, and held his hands out, palm up.
Every time he apologised, he did that. Real error, false error, something that had nothing to do with him, he always stood like that, hands held out as an offering while he hid his face behind a curtain of white hair.
Suppressed irritation rattled in her chest. The problem was that she could not get angry with him for the habit without him doing it more.
It had taken her a month to work out why. The idea that it would even come up only angered her more. Even if she was purely a heartless pragmatist, why would she strike her secretary’s hands? He needed those to write!
