I love Cody. So very much. He's always struck me as the harried, long suffering go-getter. The guy who not only takes care of his own stuff but helps you out with your's before you even have to ask. He's the guy everyone wants to talk to but nobody ever seems to listen to, not that he'd ever complain. Of everyone in the series I think I want Cody to have some sort of happy ending the most but I can't see it actually coming to fruition. I'm so awful I'm unable even write him one. Someone do me a favor a write more up-beat Cody fic okay?

Rex had told him about the farmer on Salecumi; about how he had fought for his children. Cody had liked that story; liked how Rex's eyes went soft when he remembered. He knew why Boil sat frowning at his 'pad during quiet moments mouthing the complex syllables of Twi'lek to himself and twitching his head as though he wanted tails. He knew it was the same reason Waxer collected bright beads and the occasional toy; stashed carefully in his locker for a theoretical someday.
He hopes they've all found what they craved on the Outside. It's not that he begrudges them, he had his opportunity too. He'd seen it in the alluring half-smile of the third lieutenant back on the Resolute. He had let it go; had let them all go in the end. Someone had to stay. Others have a duty to the future, Cody has to remember everyone who's gone.
