The thought of someone out there, connected to his mind as his soulmate…it's ridiculous, the biggest fairy tale he's ever heard. It can't possibly be true. And then Poe thinks of his parents. Of Snap and Karè. Of Paige and Rose Tico. Of Leia. And of the presence in his mind, always there now, warm and comfortable. A soulmate. Okay, maybe. But who?

Three months after the Battle of Exegol, Finn and Poe travel to Akiva to help with the continuing fight against the remnants of the First Order. But the aftermath of an attack in the street upends both of their lives, as they struggle to adapt to a new normal while trying to stop another deadly plot.

When Finn is mortally injured in an attack, a mysterious stranger arrives to save him. But is this man in silver armor really a stranger? When Poe returns to Yavin IV years later, he is shocked by a visitor he thought he'd lost years ago. But did he really lose Finn? The Force works in mysterious ways, and time changes everything.

Fives reasons why Poe Dameron does not like bones, plus one more. Because Poe isn't the only one afraid of something.

An old enemy returns in an attempt to ruin a very special day for the Resistance and its two generals.

The first time it happens, Poe doesn't think much of it. He's still getting to know his new astromech, and figures an over-protective algorithm might be a good thing. When he bends over and someone whistles behind him, he grins to himself. But when BB-8 shrieks at him, Poe can't help but wonder just how protective his droid is going to be out of the cockpit as well.

A much-needed party, some strong whiskey, and a provocative bet make for a devious game amongst several members of the Resistance.

Five times Finn and Poe got called out on their relationship, and the one time they called it themselves.

Finn and Poe navigate the difficult mission to find and destroy the Sith Fleet on Exegol. Finn learns about Poe's ring, Poe learns more about Finn, and they both realize they want the same thing from life following victory.

Dinner at a nice restaurant turns out to be more than a meal for Finn and Poe. A dinner date, done two different ways.

"It's, uh, different," Finn says. "Kind of like the rest of your outfit." Snap cracks up; Karè bites her lip. Jess exchanges a smile with Suralinda. "What's wrong with it?" Poe asks, glancing down at himself. "Not my style?" "Someone likes it," Suralinda murmurs, and Finn tells her to shut up. Poe returns from a mission with a new look. The others might not like it, but Finn does.

"How do you know I'm not serious?" "Because you're not." "Maybe I am," Poe says. "People don't make out when they're injured and on the run," Finn tells him, and Poe smiles. "We do." Finn, Poe, a tall cliff, a raging river, and maybe a kiss.

Poe and Finn's confrontation on the Falcon after they leave Kef Bir as anger, hurt, and fear come between them and they are forced to face hard truths about their relationship.

Rey struggles to find her place in life after defeating the First Order, and it is Poe who helps her see the path forward is with her new family.

Rey and Poe share a moment of friendship and support while Finn is away on a mission.

"Across the landing area, people are still coming and going, hugging and kissing and crying. Finn sits down close to Poe, pulls his knees up, their legs touching, and watches the celebration. They've done it." A short scene set after the Battle of Exegol, in which Finn and Poe realize the war is over.

When Finn finds Poe in the base kitchen in the middle of the night, he doesn't expect to end up on an unusual assignment with him. But the cookies are good, as well as the company.

Rey and Poe are sent on a scouting mission to search out new locations for the Resistance. They're not having much luck, though, between the bad weather, the piles of skeletons, and the nightmarish beasts that live there. It's an opportunity to get to know one another that they don't necessarily need-or maybe they do, as long as they can survive.

The days after the victory at Exegol are hard to navigate. Finn and Poe aren't meant to be so distant, so hurt, so unhappy. They should be celebrating their victory over the First Order together. Rey is determined to help them.

Everyone sees it - how intently Finn watches Poe, how Poe's eyes soften whenever he watches Finn. How close they sit, even when the whole bench is empty, or how tight they embrace, even when half the base is watching. It's ridiculous how much they're in love and don't know it. So naturally they all place their bets.

"Black spots began to dance before Finn's eyes and he closed them, because his head hurt and dammit, why was Poe shouting and making him run again when he couldn't breathe, couldn't see any better, and still didn't know what was going on…" In which Poe helps Finn through a rough moment in an unexpected way.

Set during 'The Rise of Skywalker' and starting after their escape from the Steadfast, Finn and Poe work through some unresolved issues from their final mission to defeat the First Order.

Ianto Jones will do everything he can to stop the Hub's slide toward chaos. At the very least, it might help bring order to his own troubled mind.

Ianto's hand lingering on Jack's when handing him a mug of coffee or a file.

When single father Jack Harkness meets his handsome new neighbor, photographer Ianto Jones, he's immediately smitten. Will their friendship blossom into more?

Ianto Jones knows that working for Torchwood means the impossible is always possible. It's Christmas Eve, he's chasing a Rift opening, and he shouldn't be surprised to see Jack Harkness looking up him from the ground with a broad grin, but he is. Sometimes even Torchwood surprises Ianto Jones.
