   Summary

   There was a process to coming home. Not the physical one that involved finding a ship at the docks and paying for a mildly uncomfortable ride.

   Really, coming home started just shy of their front porch. When he felt that first real rush of belonging. Of shrugging off the mantle of Spectre and War Hero and Alliance Major, shrinking back down into his own skin and name and life.
