i miss snow days

Massive snowstorm happening, which is nice to watch from inside, but man, the one (1) sucky thing about working from home is that we don't get snow days. It's REALLY hard to convince my brain to work when it's snowing.

I hit January creatively exhausted from writing three back-to-back longfics and stalled out all month, but managed to rally for a gift bag prompt fill this weekend, so look, another Old Guard fic.

Summary:

"So we're definitely gonna blow up the Death Star, right?" Nile says, an unholy gleam in her eyes.

A mission goes awry when Nicky gets trapped aboard an enemy space station; Joe handles it about as well as might be expected, all things considered. So, not so great.
