This work was inspired by Tomorrow (there'll be more of us) by dimircharmer, which in turn was inspired by LullabyKnell's The Story of Finn.
Reactions and Reviews
There is this fic called have you heard by peradi on AO3. It was published TODAY and there are close to 900 kudos on it. It focuses on how Finn is the start of the revolution.[1]
In honor of the new Star Wars trailer released this week, I went hunting for a good StormPilot fic, and I was not disappointed when I found this piece. The first fic in a 53k word series, this narrative flows so well and tells the tragic story of the rebellious Stormtrooper–a nameless entity wearing a white suit who may or may not have hopes of freedom. I teared up AND got chills as I read this very unique take on the Resistance and the psyche of the Stormtrooper. The StormPilot is secondary–more established relationship than anything–so if you’re looking for smut, this isn’t the fic for that. Still, it’s an enjoyable and engaging read that has me excited to read the next 2 pieces in this series.[2]
have you heard by peradi, which I have to rec even though you definitely already know it, because STORMTROOPER REVOLUTION and STORYTELLING and COMPLICATED POLITICAL TENSIONS and GODDAMN PHASMA. And also Ben, who makes the exact wrong choice in the exact right way, and made my heart hurt so good. And FINN, who isn’t sure when he became Jesus, exactly, but he’s willing to roll with it if it helps. [3]
A Star Wars NOVEL about finn unintentionally starting a stormtrooper revolution, and it manages to be far more compelling than the actual canon. I’m not kidding. Can we fund this movie??[4]
There are fanfics that warm your heart, there are fanfics that make you cry, and there are fanfics that give you goddamn chills because they’re just so powerful. peradi’s have you heard falls into the third category; as soon as I finished reading it I knew I had to tell other people about it as soon as I could.[5]
I like the build of this, the way the troopers figure it out and put everything together. It’s delightful.[6]
THE DEFINITIVE MASS STORMTROOPER LIBERATION FIC.[7]
(Written post-TFA, not compliant with TLJ or ROS.) This is a truly tremendous story, about hope and humanity and choices. I cry like a baby every time I read it. It's stylistically unusual, but I adore it.[8]
It wasn't intended to be a fix-it when it was first posted (sometime after The Force Awakens), but I like to pretend that this fic's events happened in canon and TLJ and ROS were just fever dreams.[9]
this story left me speechless by how incredible it is. A reimagining of the culture of storm troopers and while it’s not political there is SO MUCH going on in terms of propaganda, rumor milling, and the character of war.[10]
What up guys in honor of the new star war it's time for me to reread the best piece of fan fiction ever created ever in the whole universe, Have You Heard by peradi (@swearydroid) and ya'll should go read it as well. This has been a psa.[11]
This is what fanfiction excels at—the opportunity to write something too stylised for traditional publishing. I love the cadence of this, and it’s also the kind of soft revolution that appeals to me. The different iterations of the fairy tale woven through it live in my brain rent free.[12]
This is about Finn being an inspiration to other stormtroopers who want to rebel, and how he, Poe and Rey slowly build a resistance force out of other defecting stormtroopers, and how different ex-troopers build new lives from themselves. It’s plot-driven but deeply emotional and I love the themes of what people can become and how they take a hold of their own lives after escaping.[13]
