Summary:

"Thanks, this'll just take a moment," Glitter Squadron's leader says at the pub entrance. "We're looking for a couple things. We sure would appreciate your cooperation."

"Couple things like what?" the Gamorrean bartender asks warily.

The leader counts off on his fingers. "One, a good time, always. Two, a contact with knowledge of certain freight operations out of Hylfar Terminal Two. Three, the head of local ne'er-do-well and notorious scofflaw 7even." He pauses to let that sink in, then looks around, an ever-widening smile on his face. "Four, did I mention a good time?"

In order to survive a new political era that rose from the ruins at Exegol, Poe and Finn pose (or not) as notorious rival pirates.

Summary:

Marcus wonders why and how, over and over again. He never quite manages to wonder who or why him. He is Marcus and soon enough he knows that this body is - was? - Marcus as well. Marcus Flavius Aquila is a much grander name than his own and he has no doubt that he will fail to live up to it. Interesting as the Roman Empire is, Marcus wanted to study it, not live it. Living the life of another man, Marcus can do nothing but take it one slow, painful step at a time. Literally.
