Summary: Fandom Christmas in July 2020 drabble: July 12 - prompt "Lost in a blizzard"

Rating: T

A/N - One of thirty-one prompts for the thirty-one days of July. I plan to fill as many of them as I can with two hundred word drabbles.

Hostiles on the Hill – A Bad Lip Reading on YT ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRAOdRq-1lw ) – has nothing to do with the Drabble, but the song is stuck in my head now. “You are like cinnamon.”

Hostiles on the Hill
12. Prompt – Lost in a blizzard
Fandom – Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Ship – Gen, Force Bond between Rey and Kylo Ren
Title – Hostiles on the Hill

Rey had done extensive research before she’d left for Hoth. She’d asked numerous questions about surviving the environment outside the long-abandoned Echo Base; and packed enough supplies into the Falcon to survive for a month if she was careful.

From the speed in which Ren’s TIE silencer appeared on the horizon less than two days after their last force connection, he had been too eager to trace the clues she’d “unknowingly” and “accidentally” let slip to do the same.

If he had, he might have been prepared for the sudden white-out that buffeted his ship, and the silencer might not have ended up buried nose first in the snow.

She couldn’t have been sure he’d take the bait, giving the Resistance a little breathing room to plan their next move while the Supreme Leader was otherwise distracted. But instinct and their Bond told her he would come.

As she finished pulling the last of her cold weather gear into place, she considered the bundle of insulated clothing—far larger than she could ever wear—that she had carefully stored in a backpack the night before.

She hefted the pack onto her back and stepped into the biting wind and snow.
