Short Story review: “All the Words They Couldn’t Say”

Tabuetay.org begins our journey into the growing fan fiction stemming from the Galactic Starcruiser characters with this short story by author ID Aello_Ello over at fan fiction site AO3. We all remember the smouldering interpersonal tension between Gaya and Lieutenant Croy during her dinner performance on the first night in the Crown of Corellia dining room. Was it an act? Was it manipulation? Was it real? Or was it all of these things? In “All the Words They Couldn’t Say”, the author provides a glimpse into one possible future for this unlikely couple. The story centers on a possible private meeting between Gaya and Croy in the hours after control of the ship is returned to the crew. The author invites us to care about Croy as another casualty of the terrible deception that is the First Order while building on the subtle possibilities of Gaya & Croy’s prior interactions. It concludes with a look at a touching future encounter long after the events of the 275th anniversary cruise. This piece is a great first read to whet your appetite for more from the growing collection of “Croya” romantic fan fiction.
