Title: I Dream Of Your Fists

Summary: Poe has nightmares still about his old spice running boss, Delia Glass.

Prompt: Hurt/Comfort

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Warnings: Violence, emotional/psychological abuse

Author’s Notes: Title from “Pierrot The Clown” by Placebo, which I think fits Delia pretty well. (With her being the abuser, that is. Not that she was ever in a romantic relationship with Poe, Christ, no!)

Also, Ben’s character evaluation of Poe partially comes from how easily he was able to zone in on Rey’s abandonment issues in TFA and TLJ. (Interestingly — not that this means anything, mind you! — Kylo does his “Khan Speech”, a.k.a. evaluating others’ weaknesses, with a couple of his prisoners...but doesn’t do that with Poe. Make of that what you will) My new headcanon is that he has a bit of a Sherlock Scan ability, which kind of probably creeps people out. Here, I wanted to see what would happen if he used his abilities for good. Like, he clearly loves Poe, but he’s still kind of creepy.

Which is kind of an aesthetic of mine.
