Fics like Try to hold it in (but it keeps bleedin' out)

“Hardly feels like hiding from a party without the Coruscant smog, doesn’t it?” she says, conversationally, coming to stand next to the younger woman. “I’m not quite as used to it as you are, Aunt Mon,” Leia replies, and it’s as light as the question had been, but there’s something to it that makes it feel off. “After three decades of it, you must be part smog at the molecular level.” Mon can’t help but laugh at the jibe; Leia’s witty tongue is and has always been a wonder to behold. The pair settle into silence, gazing out into the darkness where the lanterns don’t quite reach. It’s peaceful, Mon thinks, but she knows that Leia hadn’t come out here just to stare into the darkness. Or maybe she had, in a more metaphorical sense. The other woman had been off for long enough, though probably an amount of time better measured in hours than days, that Mon’s maternal instincts had picked up on it, a small detail that her subconscious mind had refused to ignore despite having precious little time to do anything about it. OR Post-Star Wars: A New Hope. A missing scene between Mon and Leia -- family is a complicated thing.
