Finn/Poe (Star Wars)
Like A Penguin by wednesdaysdaughter
The first time Poe gave him flowers, Finn stared in disbelief until Poe’s brilliant smile began to wilt around the edges.

“Please tell me you’re not allergic,” he begged and Finn mentally shook himself before reaching out to accept the vibrant flora.

“No! No, of course not, it’s just – I’ve never been given anything but a weapon before, let alone flowers. They’re lovely – thank you.” Finn rushes to assure Poe, barely managing not to trip over himself in excitement once the gesture sinks in.
So much adorableness

Something Borrowed by the_dala
Thinking back on it later, Finn would have to admit it all started with that damn flight jacket.

Five times Finn and Poe borrowed each other's clothes.
This is so sweet!

We Were Just Children With Our Eyes Opening by m4jor3tt3
Finn loves to hold hands. Poe loves it, too. Rey wants to throw up.
Yeah, I’m really a sucker for fics involving pining and kissing

Life Ain't Worth Living Without The One You Love by m4jor3tt3
Poe gets sent out on a recon mission that doesn't go quite as planned.
Lovely continuation of the above fic.

We'll Look Back On This Road We're On by noelia_g
"No matter what some people say (Snap and Jess, when they’re feeling like they’re hilarious, BB-8 when it’s in a nagging mood), he doesn’t move into the field hospital. He’s there every day, sure, but he still bunks with the rest of the squadron, he’s been there last… no, the day before… Well, very recently at least."

Poe and Finn in the days after the aftermath.
Lovely slow build to their relationship

Step Out Into The Sun by plutos
"He’d heard whispers of the pilot they’d taken as their prisoner, supposedly the darling of the Resistance, about how he could swoop through the sky like the metal wings were an extension of his own body. Finn had been desperate, heart beating too loud in his chest, frantic breath clouding up the visors of his helmet, and Poe had been right there and his for the taking. He needed a pilot, and that’s exactly what Poe was. Turns out, he also needed a friend, a Poe gave him that too, along with a name and a jacket."

Otherwise known as: Finn Is An Oblivious Numbskull, or: the one where Finn gets a name, a jacket, a droid, and a marriage out of nowhere in only a few short weeks
This is so precious and tropey and wonderful

The Hoth Affair by ester_inc
Getting stranded on an ice planet with Finn after picking a fight with First Order scout vessels is not what Poe expected when he volunteered to do a supply run. On Hoth, a few things (okay, a lot of things) go wrong, and a couple of things go right. Eventually.

Or: Poe is bad with feelings, Finn is bad with words (except when he's not), and BB-8 has too many opinions for someone who wasn't even there.
This is great! Captures the voices of the characters perfectly

Supernova Tonight by halotolerant
There’s probably a lot that Finn needs, now he’s conscious again, and probably half of it Poe is never going to be able to figure out, but at least he can tell him the stories.
This is a lovely slow build fic

The Measure of Things by mortarsmayfall
His face is – not what Poe expects from a Stormtrooper. The polymer armor is a shock of lightning against his broad face, handsome with dark skin and soft black eyes that are wide not in fury, but panic.

Beautiful, is what Poe’s exhausted brain supplies. Instead, all he manages to do is blink.
Another wonderful slow build fic

Life, Life, Life by palebluedot
Still so relieved to see each other alive, after all this time, Leia thinks with a watery smile, and she doesn't miss the way Finn's hand reaches up to tangle in Dameron's hair, all tousled and greasy from staying so long buried underneath his helmet.
OMG THIS IS SO SWEET

The Beloved Body, Compass, Polestar by buckstiel
Poe knows his place in the Resistance, in the galaxy at large--or, at least he thought he did.

But that was before Jakku. That was before Finn.
I really do love fics where you see a little of what is going on in Poe’s head
