There is a political disaster brewing in the galaxy when Baze Malbus comes home to Jedha City after a self-imposed, decade-long exile. The ancient holy ground is shortly to become the epicentre of a punishing Imperial strategy to suppress anyone working for justice, peace and the light side of the Force. Baze feels compelled to protect his homeworld but, paralysed by nostalgia and guilt, he finds himself uncharacteristically unable to act.

And then he finds Chirrut Îmwe. Or does Chirrut find him? Either way, a path begins to clear in front of Baze and he starts to walk it, as if he were destined to do so.

Friends! My first Chirrut/Baze fic, part one. I am doing the new-pairing fear wiggle in my chair. Read, share, enjoy, let me know what you thought in the comments.
