An AU that sends Han and Leia (and Chewie) into hiding and on a different path while fighting the Empire, unknown foes and bounty hunters. There will be trauma and stress along the way but also love and happiness. Sometimes the right choices take a bit of time to take hold.
While Han makes a small repair, Leia tries to learn something new.
A slight AU wondering what if Leia had a boyfriend at the start of A New Hope? How would her relationships with Han and Luke develop if she had a built-in, self-imposed boundary? A reimagining of the events from A New Hope to just past Return of the Jedi. The focus is on Han and Leia with some new characters and new dilemmas thrown in. (Rated M for later chapters.)
