✨ B's RebelCaptain Rec List ✨

Apologies in advance as I have NO DOUBT that I missed including some very talented individuals and their works in this list. (This is by no means comprehensive.)

I haven't been here all that long, but wow--since day one I've been blown away by the talent in this fandom and the dedication of all the creators.

So, thank you lovely souls for sharing your beautiful art (in all its many forms) for us to enjoy--and thank you RC community as a whole for being so lovely and welcoming this past year! I am truly grateful to be screaming/crying/rewriting canon with you 💖

Give Up the Ghost by @frostbitepandaaaaa

I mean...what can I say? I love all of Frost's writing, but this was the first work I ever read of hers and it is devastating and gorgeous and will make you lose your mind. I remember the first time I read it just...lingering on certain sentences because I was in awe of how beautiful they were. Just read it. Trust me. (And then check out her WIP 12 Days afterwards!)

threshold by @astromechs

Another writer whose works I love. (Okay, that's pretty much everyone on this list--the RC fandom is so frickin talented). But for me, this fic in particular stands out as one that gives incredible insight into Cassian's character--and an adorable story overall. Heartfelt and beautiful.

built on hope by @luciechat

I am particularly obsessed with chapter 3 of this collection of prompt-writes Getting Back Together (in the Cold). Lucie paints the picture so clearly and the tension throughout is delicious. Highly recommend reading this RC Hoth fic--and Lucie's other amazing works!

we were never going to make it by @fulcrumstardust

Okay off the bat: be mindful of the tags! This was a whumptober fic and it is BIG SAD. But it is also so, so beautiful. The emotion woven throughout cuts to the bone and as painful as it was, the premise of the story was very well executed. (And if you're looking for a lighter read--maybe a spicy one--Moria's one-shot SOLAR STORM has such an incredible setup. The sexual tension is so well done.)

The RebelCaptain Romance Collection by @agentjackdaniels

I couldn't choose just one from this collection! Luce writes the softest, sweetest, fluffiest stories for RC that you will ever read. (Which makes perfect sense if you're lucky enough to get to know her because Luce is such a genuine, sweet soul.) These fics are like a warm-hug for the soul--just what you need after watching Rouge One.

the things you said by @gaygingersnaps

Again: I am not usually one for Modern AUs but I think the RC fandom is changing me and the first I ever read was Eli's amazing fic. I am obsessed with how Eli writes Jyn's internal dialogue. It's so in character and sharp and will make you smile and shake your head and go "Oh, Jyn!" This collection of stories is idiots-in-love like nothing else and you will fall in love with the world Eli has so thoughtfully crafted for a modern-day RC.

objection, your honor by @andorerso

I'm not usually one for modern AUs, but this fic is just so much fun. The banter between Cass and Jyn is so in character and so sharp and witty and the whole time I was reading I had a grin on my face. (These two idiots.) I love all the little details Sissi considers in this AU (Chewie being the dog for example), but that's no surprise! She is the queen of AUs!

Tethered (to the Story We Must Tell) by @dilf-din

I just absolutely loved the setup for this fic. Jess manages to fit these characters into a magical world so seamlessly by embedding the most incredible details from the Star Wars universe. (I was obsessed with the "stormtroopers".) Jess's writing is so smooth and rich and will immediately grab your attention.

Coping Mechanisms by @mosylufanfic

I think this was the first fic I ever read of mosylu's! I love the way she writes Jyn--always perfectly in character, strong and sassy. But in this fic in particular, I love the softness she brings to Jyn in how she cares for Cassian. I found it to be a very beautiful, healing read. (But if you're looking for something a bit longer or more upbeat! I mean, take your pick. Mosylu is another author who is amazing at AUs and her works are always such fun reads.)

RC Proposal by @ninsletamain

I could have put any of nins' pieces down as a rec. (Like seriously go scroll her feed she's insanely talented and her work blows my mind everytime without fail). But I chose this one because it is just so rich and full of detail, I love the story it tells, and you cannot help but smile whenever you look at it.

Claw Machine by @winterdruid

Definitely an all-time favorite for me. I remember making a joke about claw-machine as a first date when I was doing a RO rewatch with some friends and then this masterpiece showed up on my feed and my jaw dropped?! It's so fun and cute and well-done and I reblog it every time I see it soooo.

Seashore (for RC Fluffbruary) by @adeptnenyim

I love the scenery, their poses, their expressions, the quote?! Ahhh all of it! Nen's art is so soft and special and gives me all the feels and this one is no exception.

BTS of RO Inspired by @art-question-mark

I have always loved the picture this piece is based off of. In my head, it is happy Jyn and Cass. In my head, it is canon. Natalie's style is so beautiful and I love some of the quotes Natalie pulls from the Rogue One novel to go with the art!

Pretty Cute by @muguathepapaya

This piece is super cute and exactly what they deserved. I'm obsessed. Gives me all the warm and fuzzies. Sunshine on a rainy day, so gorgeous.

Time to Wake Up by @eegnm

Okay are you noticing the theme yet? I love seeing these two happy, and this scene in particular is just so...warm. I love the cuddly vibes, their expressions, all of it. You can feel the love in it.

losers by @necr0mancers

I am obsessed with the look they are exchanging. Very conspiratorial and so true to them. I also just love the style of this artists' works and the sense of humor woven through many of their pieces.

Elevator Scene by @satmolly

Nope I actually do not have words for this one. I think it says enough. (This happened, and it happened just like this and it is so very beautiful).

Favorite Scene (beach) by @dramaticmusicplaying

Another one that leaves me speechless. (Okay, they ALL do I feel like I am not doing these artists justice I'M SORRY). I just think this piece captures the beach perfectly and I love the style and all the colors and I kinda need to cry after looking at it okay?!

Jyn/Cassian Smooch by @barrikae

I am totally obsessed with this artist's style and this image in particular is just: ahhhhh! You know? Like look at themmmmm. Thank you for this barrikae.

Space Travel by @freebooter4ever

Your honor, they are holding hands and they are so very sleepy and I am so very in love with this piece. I love the artist's style and again, amazing scene set. Lives rent free in my mind.

Tagging creators for this one vs specific sets (cause you CANNOT make me choose honestly) and linking this post I wrote awhile back about how incredible I think you all are! (As in: I specifically had RC creators in mind when I wrote that post.)

*This is the list I am most nervous about cause I am almost certain I am forgetting people so if you see this and you make gifs for RC please know I love you and your work <3

REBELCAPTAIN FIC RECS FOR DAILYREBELCAPTAIN'S VALENTINE'S DAY FEST

I liked the idea of choosing a theme so I decided to go with one of my favorite genres: hurt/injured Cassian and protective Jyn 💗

Such a Being Within by @frostbitepandaaaaa She stumbles toward him, falls to her knees and frames his precious face in her hands. “Cassian, what is going to happen to you?”

He hesitates, contemplating if he had the strength to lie to her and, Force, she almost wishes he did. He shakes his head, curls a hand around her wrist. “I don’t know.”

critical redundancy by @fulcrumstardust “Stop!” she yells at him, and grabs his face between her hands. The leather of her fingerless gloves feels cold against his sweaty skin. “You’re coming home with me.”

He almost wants to believe her.

to break open a heart by @rebelrainfall “They - I - I can’t lie,” he finally gasps like it hurts him to say, flinching away from the words themselves. “You don’t have to,” she soothes. Cassian shudders, whimpering. “You know you can tell me anything.”

Jyn drags Cassian from a crime syndicate cell. Something is very wrong.

Look to the Sky by @briamarie38 There were so many things she wanted to do:

Touch him Comfort him Kiss him Hold him.

So many things she wanted to say:

I love you I’m sorry I missed you … Please, don’t die.

Instead, she pressed her blaster into his hand, curling his fingers around it...

Wake With You by @thegiddyowl After cracking three ribs from a pneumonia-induced cough, Cassian is sent to the med bay for a dip in the bacta tank. Jyn is there to keep an eye on things just to see everything go wrong.

Close One by @cats-and-metersticks and @thegiddyowl When a mission very quickly goes seriously wrong, it's up to Jyn to get her and Cassian off planet.

#fic recs #rebelcaptain #rogue one #dailyrebelcaptain #therebelcaptainnetwork #drcvalentinescelebration #if you can think of other hurt cassian/protective jyn combos please feel free to add!#i eat that shit up <3

DRC Valentine’s Day Fest: A Rebel(CA)p(T)ain Reclist

Part II: Modern/Earthly Settings

Fics set on Earth or something that kind of resembles it.

Return to main post for other cat related rebelcaptain content! (this link is now fixed!)

In the spirit of clicking links, today and every day is a good day to click to freely donate ad revenue from this site to the UNWRA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East).

Recs below! 💕

Alphabetical by author! All links are to the ao3 version of the fic because that’s how and where I found them.

I've tried to do my research and identify authors' tumblrs if I'm able to tag them. If I tagged the wrong person or if you're tagged and you don't want to be, just let me know. 💕

Tethered (to The Story We Must Tell) by dancealongthelightofday (@dilf-din)

I only just discovered this one because it got uploaded to ao3 after previously only being on tumblr! Witch!Jyn gives off all sorts of spooky all knowing and cool vibes, as do her identical black cats.

The Hacker and the Veterinarian by jbn42

The title gets to the premise pretty straightforwardly! Siblings Bodhi and Jyn each adopt a cat and deal with their respective traumas (with a bit of high stakes Krennic drama thrown in as a final arc to the story). Jyn and Cassian have no chill and fall in love pretty much right away. Some lovely Dad!SpiritAssassin content.

partners in exasperation by katsumi (@leralynne)

A fun neighbors!au where neither of them are the cat owner, but the cat definitely has a major hand in facilitating their meeting and getting together. Also features a lot of great Bodhi & Jyn sibling energy and banter.

In Defense of Cat People by TinCanTelephone (@cats-and-metersticks)

An incredibly cute sickfic that features a prickly cat!Kay who eventually comes around to the idea that Jyn is tolerable.

F. I. N. E. by TinCanTelephone

Angsty Cassian adopts cat!Kay to try and cope with feeling lonely when he returns from an extended trip to find coworker Jyn is in a relationship. Some great Bodhi & Cassian friendship moments!

let the cat out of the bag by wintersend (@andorerso)

Jyn’s cat Mimi (whose personality is as fiery as Jyn’s) develops a strong relationship with FWB!Cassian, which pokes at Jyn’s commitment issues. Excellent romcom vibes.

There's also a tumblr tag that the author has with related content!

You & Me

Pairing: Cassian x Jyn Rating: T Summary: When he comes back to sleep, he feels the heavy weight of a hand over his arm. Twisting a bit, he sees Jyn sitting next to his bed, bent over and possibly asleep holding onto his arm. Words: 860 Notes: Written for @dailyrebelcaptain‘s Valentine’s Day Celebration, using the prompt: You and me. Tagging: @mousedetective

Read @ AO3

Cassian awakes, the ache of his body saying louder than anything else, that he was alive.

He opens his eyes to the sharp clinical white lights of the medbay. Oh, right, Bodhi was able to get them out of Scarif right in the nick of time. Looking around, he spots Jyn on another bed, she’s still asleep. Feeling himself smile, he closes his eyes right back and slips back into sleep, lulled by the sound of the machines.

When he comes back to sleep, he feels the heavy weight of a hand over his arm. Twisting a bit, he sees Jyn sitting next to his bed, bent over and possibly asleep holding onto his arm.

“Jyn?” He speaks softly, if she’s asleep, he’d let it be. But if she’s awake, perhaps they could talk. Or maybe she could make him the favor of asking someone for a meal?

Jyn’s head snaps up, her eyes a round and her hand grows tighter at his arm. “Hey, morning.”

“Morning. How are you?”

“Better than you,” Jyn says, with a small smile. “How’s your side? The medic said that you were pretty bruised up. And your ankle is twisted. Mon has already declared that we’re out of work until you fully recover.”

“Us?”

Jyn had the grace to look a bit bashful, “Because I said that I wouldn’t leave your side.”

Something strange, something he had never felt before sets all over him, it’s incredibly touching that she won’t leave him. “Thank you.” He manages to say. “Jyn, is there any water?” It’s surprising how thirsty he is now.

Jyn nods, “I’ll get it.”

He watches her as she stands and moves to a small spot in the room, and return with a tray on her hands. He notices there’s some rations and water, and he decides to have some. “Thank you.” He says and reaches for the glass, giving a deep gulp of water, he feels better. And then goes for a ration, he’d love for some real food, but right now, this would do.

“How do you feel?” Jyn asks after watching him eat.

He moves his left arm around and he stills at the sharp pang of pain. “Still in pain, but nothing that I can’t manage.” He looks at Jyn’s frowning face and he smiles. There’s something between them, he knows, and now, they are alive and there’s a small chance to explore whatever it is that bloomed. Because there is something about her, that tells some nearly forgotten part of him that she’s one for him.

“Want me to get the medic?”

He shakes his head, “No, it’s nothing I can handle.” One look at Jyn’s face, tells him that she wants to object, “Jyn, I promise you, I’m fine.”

“If you’re sure…”

Jyn she still looks unsure, and he finds it terribly endearing. “So, we’re off duty huh?” He does his best to distract her with talk about work.

“Yes. Oh, I forgot to say it…” Jyn hesitates and then winces, “Princess Leia was taken hostage, and she’s the one who had the message.”

He closes his eyes. But he decides then and there, to have more hope. They did the impossible with only few men, so, what’s to say that the Princess won’t come with the data. “She’ll be fine.” He opens his eyes, reaches out for Jyn’s hand and says, “Have hope again. We’ll make it through this.”

“We?”

He grins, “Well, yes. At risk of sounding quite arrogant, it’s you and me. Or am I wrong?”

He watches as a myriad of emotions flash on her face. In the end, Jyn reaches for his hand and looks into his eyes, and he can read the answer there. “Yes. It’s you and me. And just so you know,” she says with a firmness that is both welcomed and comforting. “I’m not letting you go.”

With his other hand, he reaches out and cups Jyn’s cheek. “Neither am I. For once in my life, I feel like being greedy, but only for you.”

Jyn smiles, leans to rest on his hand. “I feel the same.” She admits. “I know this might be too fast, but I find that I don’t mind. I’m not afraid of this.”

“I don’t want you to be afraid of this,” he tells her. “And while I don’t know what life has for us, but I can tell you, as long as I live. I will always be at your side.”

“I’ll keep you to that.”

He uses his hand to wipe the tears that form on Jyn’s eyes. “I’m sure you will. And I promise you, I mean it.”

Jyn’s smile is tremulous and her eyes are still shinny with tears. “And I know you mean it, something inside of me tells me that you are the one for me. That you are someone who is not going to walk away, not willingly.”

“No,” He says. “I don’t want to walk away from you. I don’t think I could handle doing so.”

“So,” Jyn says as her smile softens. “You and me, huh?”

He nods. “You and me. From now on.”

For the @dailyrebelcaptain Valentine’s Day Fest:

A Rebel(CA)p(T)ain Reclist

When I think of love, I think of cats.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Y'all this got way too long to be one post, so I'm splitting the recs up by theme/platform and making a masterlist

***(Update Feb 18: The links to each list and back work now, I promise!)***

I've tried to do my research and identify the tumblrs of the author/artist/creators if I'm able to tag them (there were a few cases where I couldn’t), but if you see someone you know is on here but isn’t tagged—or if you see something missing that you love—I’d love to know about it! 💕

Part I: In-Universe Settings

Fics set in a galaxy far, far away.

Part II: Modern/Earthly Settings

Fics set on Earth or something that kind of resembles it.

Part III: Tumblr Content

Art, headcanons and other cute text posts, as well as a few other posts that have cat-related content. Some of these are specifically rebelcaptain and others are more general Rogue One related content that features tookas/lothcats/cats.

I hope you enjoy this list! It was nice little treat for me to focus on while stressing about other stuff and missing my cats. Thanks to the dailyrebelcaptain team for putting on the event/encouraging some good ol’ reclist creation!

I used to be a king alone by @brynnmclean

Cassian and Jyn have some downtime while on a mission, explore a marketplace and pick up a furry friend. The author uses the tag “A Date-Shaped Mission or a Mission-shaped Date” which is honestly better and more succinct than any additional summary I could add. This fic features a bit of droidnerd!Cassian, which is another love of mine.

por más que crezca, vas a estar aquí by @firefeufuego

A very cool His Dark Materials style daemon insertion into a SW universe. Jyn’s spiritual manifestation is a cat that keeps Cassian company through the years.

Failure To Communicate by FluffMonster42

A multi-mission fic featuring the chaos duo of Han & Jyn, made even more excellent by the fact that Jyn acquires a loth cat that helps her & Cassian get over some of their emotional constipation.

the fact that you’re alive is a miracle by @fortysevenswrites

Presumed dead!Cassian is found alive and brought back to Jyn, who has in the meantime dedicated herself post-war to running a home for children and a clowder of tookas (do they have their own collective noun?). It’s very sweet.

1653 DAYS WITHOUT LUCK by @fulcrumstardust

I am 99% I didn’t know tookas were a thing until this fic, so I am forever grateful to it opening my eyes to that. 😂

It’s a story I enjoyed reading for a lot of reasons, but to focus on the cat facet: The tooka in this story is more conceptual/a child’s toy for most of the fic, but it’s a very cute element that brings Cassian and his daughter together.

Freya the Tooka by grexigone

Some very sweet (slightly bittersweet) Jyn backstory AND all sorts of adorable tooka interactions? Please and thank you.

Tooky Verse by @imsfire2

This series feels like an incredibly warm hug. Or, you know, a cuddle with a cat. Part 1 is tooka acquisition, Parts 2 & 3 are very cute snapshots of life on base in between missions.

Cheetah Tongue by @literatiruinedme

Short scenes of Cassian and Jyn’s cat on base. A bunch of funny, sometimes slightly awkward, and sweet vignettes and incredibly accurate depiction of cat behaviour.

Cat Cafe Verse by @luciechat

You know how all we want (most of the time) is for them to have nice, soft things? This series is absolutely a universe where they get to have ALL of them. Jyn and Cassian travel the verse and have to figure out what to do with all of the strays they can’t help but take in. This fic also tickles my droidnerd!Cassian itch.

The Wedding

Pairing: Cassian x Jyn Rating: T Summary: “Come on, Jyn Erso, let’s get you married.” Words: 1141 Notes: Written for @dailyrebelcaptain‘s Valentine’s Day Celebration, prompt: sure love. Tagging: @mousedetective

Read @ AO3

Jyn stares at the white dress that Leia has so kindly offered.

It would normally not be her thing, she doesn’t like white. Too clean, too pure. And truth be told, she doesn’t feel like either. But today is not a normal day, so she heads straight to the refresher and washes all the dirt off her. Leia has also kindly provided with some other things, fine soaps, lotion and a perfume for after.

And when she is ready, she dons the dress. It reaches right above her feet, the dress is very obviously Leia’s. But she’s thankful that at least she will have something else to wear that it isn’t her usual stuff. She’s not one for fashion, but on this day, she can do the effort.

She’s debating on how to wear her dress, when a knock comes, “Jyn?” It’s Leia. “Need any help?”

She debates for a split second as if she should ask for help, and while a part of her still wishes to say no, maybe Leia could know what to do with her hair, “Yes please.”

Leia lets herself in, she’d dressed in something other than white, a pale blue dress. “The hair, I take?” Is what Leia greets her with.

“Yes. I only know how to do a bun. And it’s not good.”

Leia nods, “Then sit, and I’ll handle your hair. Would you like a bun or braids?”

She doesn’t know, but Leia has always been so impeccable dressed and styled, so she trusts her. “Up to you.” She says and sits with her back to Leia.

And Leia doesn’t speak anymore, but brushes her hair with surprising gentleness and her fingers move quite deftly on it. It doesn’t take long before Leia’s hand stop and then settle on her shoulders. “Done. Want to look at the mirror.”

She stands and goes back to the fresher. And a smile grows on her lips as soon as she looks at herself. Her hair is half up and half down, braided quite skillfully around her face, her bangs still there. She likes it. It’s elegant, but she can still think the hairstyle is something she would go for if given the chance.

“Thank you.” She says to Leia as soon as she returns.

Leia smiles at her, “Glad you like the hair. Are you ready? Because we’re ready for you and Cassian.”

She nods, there is a small fluttering in her stomach, but she feels certain. She wouldn’t change her mind in a million years. “Let’s go.”

“Come on, Jyn Erso, let’s get you married.”

And Leia escorts her to where the Rebellion has set a place for them to get married. It surprises her to see so many people, Leia simply laughs at her face and says, “They want to see the people who gave us hope get married.”

It’s moving and she’s thankful. And then her eye falls on Cassian, and the world disappears. The galaxy narrows down to Cassian, who is standing there with Bodhi by his side. And he looks so very handsome. He’s dressed in an outfit that looks almost imperial, but it’s deep blue and it suits him quite well, he wears black boots and his hair is nicely combed and now, he’s clean shaven. Then, Cassian turns and their eyes meet.

And she can tell, that he also feels that nothing has ever been so right. This love is a sure one.

She smiles at him and walks to him with a head held high. She takes his arm when she gets next to him, “Hey, handsome.” She tells him. She wants him to know that she thinks he’s handsome.

“You look beautiful,” Cassian’s whole face and voice is soft and tender. “Very different, but very breath taking.”

“Says the man who left me breathless.”

They would have continued their talk, but a pointed cough catches their attention. She looks and sees Leia smiling at both of them. “I can marry people, I’m royal.” She offers as stands in front of them. “Ready?”

They nod.

Leia begins speaking, and her voice carries over the room. No one speaks but her, and she speaks of true partnership, of love and finding hope when there is none. She speaks of two becoming one, of coming together and how love found in dark moments can be a spark of light that both of them should hold onto. On knowing that the one you are making your vows to is the one, about sharing both good things and bad ones.

“And so, here we stand, to witness Cassian Jeron Andor and Jyn Erso become one. Please, hold hands if you would.” Leia turns to Cassian, “Tell me Cassian, do you take Jyn Erso to be your wedded wife? To have and to hold, in good times and in bad? For richer or poorer? In sickness and in health?”

“I do.” And Cassian’s face, already soft, looks as if he had grown even softer then. His eyes are bright, and the look that he gives her makes her feel so safe and secure.

Leia turns to her, “And you, Jyn Erso, do you take Cassian Jeron Andor to be your wedded husband? To have and to hold, in good times and in bad? For richer or poorer? In sickness and in health?”

She could feel her heart beating loud in her ears, “I do.” She says with firmness. Never has she been more sure of anything in her life, at least not since she was still a child and her parents were still both alive and in Lah’mu.

“Then, with the power bestowed in me, I do declared you married. You may kiss each other.”

They both lean forward at the same time, and their lips meet in a tender kiss. Around them, the whole room explodes in claps and cheers. Cassian rests his forehead against her. “We’re married.”

She can’t help but to smile and she can feel her own happiness bubbling up, “No taking it back. You’re stuck with me.”

“And you with me. Come what may.”

She laughs, and he smiles gently at her. As one, they turned to face the crowd. Holding hands, they walk towards the center, music is beginning to play and now it’s time for the party. They are together, and they will be until one of them die. That’s for sure.

“I love you,” She says looking straight into his eyes.

The smile he gives her is one that sends her heart fluttering. “I love you too.” He tells her. And he voice is full of warmth and devotion, it brings tears to her eyes. His eyes are soft and takes her hand in his and squeezes it.

She loves him and he loves her too. And love each other they will. Come what may.

Under The Storm

Pairing: Cassian x Jyn Rating: T Summary: Cassian knows he has a soulmate, after all, he bears the white tattoo on his right wrist that reads, ‘What a weather, huh?’ Words: 1721 Notes: Using the prompt ‘Soulmate’ from @dailyrebelcaptain‘ Valentine Day Celebration. Tagging: @mousedetective

Read @ AO3

Cassian knows he has a soulmate, after all, he bears the white tattoo on his right wrist that reads, ‘What a weather, huh?’

And while it is not the most clear of answers, because well, it’s about the weather, it brings him some form of comfort knowing that there is someone out there for him. Someone who will match and compliment him. Someone he can be happy and someone to love.

He has always wanted someone to love.

Even knowing his words, he has dated, because who knows if she or he would be the one. The tattoo will only change color once he has found his mate, and while he has heard those words, the tattoo remains white and has not changed. It has been heartbreaking, but he has dealt with it as best as he could.

He’s currently very single and looking. Hoping against hope that he will find the one he is meant to be in the next face, in the next heart or soul. But thus far, he has had no luck. But he refuses to give up or give into despair. Something inside of him tells him to keep going, that his special someone will find him as soon as they are able to. He believes in love, and he believes it will find a way.

And that way comes in the most unexpected way.

There is a massive storm coming to town, and he has already gone shopping and he is prepared to spend the rest of his day indoors. But then, as he is putting his groceries out, he realizes that he has forgotten to buy more dog food. Kay is running low and he will have to brave the storm and go out and get it. He doesn’t have it in him to leave his dog without food.

So, he grabs his parka and an umbrella and begins making his way to the store. He makes it there, buys what he needs and as he is making his way home, the rain turns into a downpour. He quickly seeks the shelter of a bus stop, he will have to wait for the rain to lessen before he can move out, his umbrella is already bending, a clear sign that is both old and about to break.

And he’s been there for a minute, when a woman arrives there, she’s holding her case atop her head, valiantly trying to avoid getting wet. It doesn’t work. She smiles when she sees him and says, “What a weather, huh?”

No sooner than those words leave her mouth, his wrist burns and, to his side, the woman curses and lets her briefcase fall to the floor. He is reeling, and he somehow manages to put the dog food down and lift his sleeves. The tattoo has changed.

Whereas a few moments before it was white and plain, now it’s deep blue with storm clouds around the words. “Uh.” Is all that he manages. And when he turns to see the woman, her eyes are wide and she is also cradling her right wrist, a matching tattoo can be found there. “Sorry?” He tell her.

Her eyes are wide, “Shit.” She says. “You’re my soulmate?”

“I suppose?” He is still very much dazzled, because his brain is not working very well right now. “I’m Cassian. Cassian Andor.” He offers his right hand.

The woman nods, “Jyn Erso,” she takes his hand and a slight electric shock runs to both their arms. He knows that she feels it because he sees her shiver at the same time he does. “Well, what a way for us to meet, huh?” She teases, not letting go of his hand.

“Indeed, in the middle of a storm, beneath a bus stop. What are the chances?”

“I don’t know,” it is only then that she lets go of his hand. “But I assume they’re very small, I mean, had my umbrella not breaking, I might have kept walking.”

And isn’t that a crushing thought? The idea of his soulmate just walking by, not stopping, never knowing is one he doesn’t like very much. “While I am sorry that you got wet,” he says slowly. “A very selfish part of me is glad your umbrella broke.”

Instead of being angry, she snorts in amusement. “A romantic notion, but I guess, given how we are just meeting, that is not too off. Look at us, two strangers trapped under a storm, meeting our soulmate just by chance.”

“Does it bother you?” He asks. He needs to know where he stands, if she wants to get to know him and perhaps, pursue a romantic relationship further down the road.

“It should,” she admits. “But I find that I’m not too bothered, it could have been worse.” Then, she leans forward, a smile on her face and with a spark in her eyes, “Unless you’re a serial killer, in that case, I’m going to tap out.”

It’s his turn to snort, “No, not a serial killer. I’m a book editor.”

“Oh thank god. And also, sounds fun. Any big names that you know?”

“A couple, have you heard of Bodhi Rook?”

Her eyes widen comically, “Have I? I have all his books, don’t tell me you work with him.”

He smiles. “He’s a really nice guy, I can get you a signed copy of your favorite book. I’m sure he won’t mind.”

Her eyes shine bright at the prospect, “I’d love that. Thank you.” She smiles and her smile comes easy, as if they had known each other forever. “I teach music, currently trying to get my students ready for a singing contest.”

“Oh?” He’s intrigued, he likes music and he has always enjoyed a good choir. “High school or college?”

“High school,” She answers easily enough. “They’re pretty great, but they tend to either take it over serious or not serious enough. But hey, it’s fine.”

“I should hope so. Got any pets?”

She shakes her head, “I don’t. But I can see you do, what breed?” She points at the dog food at his feet. “Is it a fancy one or a mutt?”

“A fancy one that was rescued, actually.” It was true, he had managed to find a local husky rescue and now he and Kay were pretty much inseparable. “A husky. He’s quite the drama queen. But he’s my best friend and just makes life so much better.”

“Good, I’m glad.” She then hesitates, takes another look at her wrist and then looks at him straight in his eyes, “Have you waited for long?” She points at his wrist. “Or were you hoping we never meet?”

“I have waited,” he won’t lie to her about it. “I got the tattoo when I was five, it’s been white until today. And truth be told, I wanted to meet you. Because I a romantic sap if you will, but I wanted to find that one special person who could compliment me and be a good match. I heard the words so often, but it never changed, and I didn’t want to give up and give in.”

She looks away and ruminates his words for a long time, he lets her, he doesn’t want her to feel pressured, but he won’t lie and pretend that he didn’t want to meet her. She’s still looking away when she speaks again, “I heard the words myself, but nothing changed. And I was ready to give up, they’re such common words that I wasn’t sure if I’d ever meet you. I lived my life and hoped for the best.”

“As did I. I never sat and waited. I lived and loved, but there was a big part of me that hope, that wonder, ‘will he or she be the one?’, so yes, I am quite thrilled that you are here and have the tattoo. But I will understand if you wish to walk away.”

It was that that caused her head to snap and turn to look at him. “No. I want to get to know you, I want to be your friend first. Truth be told, my life has been quite lonely and I’m tired and right now, I’m feeling quite selfish, because I want to call you mine and never share, is that terrible?”

He shook his head, his lips curling at the corners. “No, I think it’s quite human. For all the friends I have, it’s been lonely too. Almost as if there was a you shaped hole and no other could fill. How strange that is?”

“Not strange at all,” it was her turn to reassure him. “It makes sense, you’ve been waiting for me for a long time, and I’ve look for you for almost the same… what age are you?”

“I’m 30.”

She nodded, “And I’m 25, so you have waited since you were five for me. I’m here now, and Cassian Andor, I want to get to know you. To be your friend, possibly lover and love further down the road.”

Her words brought a smile to his face. “I would like that. Just because we’re soulmates doesn’t mean everything will be easy. I’m sure we’d be like all couples. But I am very much looking forward exploring ‘Us’.”

“As I am.”

While they had been talking, the rain had slowed and then fully stopped. He looked at the lack of rain and opened his umbrella and offered his arm, “Would you like me to walk you somewhere?”

She grins as she takes his arm, “How about we go for some coffee? There’s a great place two blocks away. And they make absolutely delightful pastries too. My treat.”

“Very well, coffee and pastries, off we go.”

It is only that she remembers what he’s bought and frowns, “Won’t your dog be hungry?”

“No, he’s got food for the day, this is back up in case he ran out.”

“Alrighty then, let’s go for that coffee.”

They walk under the umbrella out of the bus stop. And while the skies have not cleared, there’s no rain and some sunlight is coming through the clouds. The wind is chilly and the street is completely wet, but as they make their way to the café, both their hearts feel lighter at the promise of a tomorrow.

Think of Me

Pairing: Cassian x Jyn Rating: T Summary: Cassian’s been gone for half an hour, when Jyn’s phone vibrates. Being responsible, she pulls to the side of the road and grabs her phone. It’s Cassian. A message from him to be exact. It reads, ‘I miss you already. Some gifts coming your way.’ Words: 1190 Notes: For @dailyrebelcaptain‘s Valentine’s Day Celebration. Prompt: Miss you. Tagging: @mousedetective

Read @ AO3

Cassian’s been gone for half an hour, when Jyn’s phone vibrates.

Being responsible, she pulls to the side of the road and grabs her phone. It’s Cassian. A message from him to be exact. It reads, ‘I miss you already. Some gifts coming your way.’

She smiles, she misses him too. She and Cassian have been together for two years now, living together for six months, but now, his work is sent him halfway across the world for three weeks. She’s fine with it, work is work, but that doesn’t take away the sting of knowing she’ll wake up to a cold bed.

‘Miss you too, looking forward to them.’ Is what she answers. She puts her phone away, and makes her way home, she’s got work to do.

Cassian has been gone for two days, when a box of her favorite chocolate truffles arrives. It bears a note that reads: ‘Something sweet, for my sweetness. Miss you. C.’

She doesn’t wolf them down in one moment, even if she’s tempted because she really likes those truffles. And she places the note above her desk, where she can see it while she works. A way to motivate and remind herself that Cassian will be coming back soon.

Three days after the truffles, she receives a dragon plush toy. Again, with a not from Cassian telling her he misses her and he hopes the little dragon will keep her company while he’s gone. She smiles, the dragon is blue and green, and it’s completely adorable.

‘The dragon is now named ‘Jeron’,’ she texts him.

‘As you wish’ comes from Cassian. ‘Love you.’

‘ILU2’ she sends back.

Without any shame, she places it on their bed. And she sleeps with him at night. It might not be Cassian, but it’s from Cassian and the plush is completely adorable. The note she saves away in a special folder she keeps at her desk. That way, she can always see it whenever she wants. Even when Cassian comes home.

Another three days after, she receives a flower bouquet at her office. Once more, from Cassian and she loves it. The flowers are dark colors, and it looks quite lush and stunning. The note that comes with it, speaks about her own beauty and how the flowers try and match her. It also says that he misses her.

‘They’re stunning. Thank you.’

‘♥ You.’

She smiles at his reply.

This gift she keeps at her office, it’s a beautiful thing and she wants to enjoy it for as long as she can. And her office can be dark and dreary, and while the flowers are in dark colors, they jump up and bring some lightness to her office that it didn’t have before.

Four days after that, exactly two weeks from Cassian leaving, she receives her favorite pizza. It spells, ‘Miss you’ with bell pepper and she laughs at Cassian’s creativity. She eats what she can of the pizza and saves the rest for another day.

‘Yummy gift.’

This time, his response is a wide-smile emoji.

Three days after that, she receives a book. Once more, it bears a note from Cassian that says that he hopes she can loose herself in the world. It’s a fantasy book and it promises adventure, she reads it in bed for a while before going to sleep and yes, the book’s beginning grips her from the first page and she silently thanks Cassian for being so considerate and knowing her well enough to pick a good book.

That night she dreams that she’s a knight, saving Cassian from a dragon.

Four days later, on the day before Cassian returns, she gets half a dozen chocolate cherry cupcakes. This time, they come with a letter where Cassian declares once more how much he misses her. That he hopes she is doing well and that he’s sorry he has not been able to communicate beyond some texts (because he refuses to have her up at wrong hours). That he intends to hug her tightly and never let go the moment he’s back.

She has cupcakes for dinner that night, and doesn’t feel bad about it.

The day when Cassian is meant to return, she’s positively excited. She has missed him dearly, and she doesn’t miss how hard it’s been without Cassian around. She misses her partner, her lover and friend. Even if she’s gone out with her friends, even when she has kept busy, the other side of her bed is cold when she wakes. There has been no soft morning smile, no hand caressing her cheek, no lips to kiss and no body to join with.

She arrives at the airport fifteen minutes before Cassian’s plane lands. And she waits at the gate, and it almost seems that the time is going slower than usual.

But then, Cassian walks out from the gate. He looks tired, but happy when he spots her and she unapologetically rushes towards him and all but crashes into him. “I missed you so much,” She says against his mouth as she kisses him.

Cassian’s arms are holding her strongly, not letting go as he kisses her back. “I missed you too,” he says. “It’s good to be back.”

“Yes. About time.”

Cassian smiles at her, and reluctantly lets go to grab his bag, which fell to the floor as soon as he saw her rushing towards him. “Let’s go home, I have a last surprise for you.”

She can’t quite help it, she grins and says, “I’m sure it’d be something amazing, you outdid yourself Romeo.”

Cassian laughs, “Anything for my Jyn.”

They make their way home swiftly. And when they’re there, Cassian starts to unpack, even when she can see he’s tired. “You can unpack tomorrow, if you’re tired, sleep.”

Cassian shakes his head, “What I have for you is in a bag, hold up a bit.”

She sits on their bed and waits. She doesn’t wait long.

“Ah-ha! Here it is,” Cassian says and turns to her. “Please close your eyes Jyn.”

She obeys.

“Open them.” Comes from Cassian a moment later.

And when she does, she finds Cassian on a knee in front of her. A blue-green stone ring on his hands and she’s sure her jaw is on the floor now. “Cass?”

“I’ve been thinking about it, but I realized before I left how much I love you. I don’t want to leave you, ever, I want to spend the rest of my life with you Jyn Erso.”

Her vision grows blurry.

“Will you marry me?”

She can only nod frantically, before she tosses herself for the second time at Cassian’s arms. “Yes.” She manages to get out.

Cassian holds her in his arms and doesn’t let go. “The stone is a sapphire,” he says. “I saw it and I immediately knew it was for you.” He lets go a bit so he can take her hand and slid the ring to it. He smiles when it’s in place. “I love you.”

She smiles through her tears. “I love you too. Forever.”

“Forever.” Cassian repeats. And she knows he means it.

The Circle Of Your Arms

Pairing: Cassian x Jyn Rating: T Summary: “Hug me. I know you’ll probably be gone for a bit, and I want you to hug me before you go.” Words: 1006 Notes: For @dailyrebelcaptain‘s Valentine Day Celebration. Promp: Hug Tagging: @mousedetective

Read @ AO3

They live.

It’s not something that either expected. Two of the squadron who were sent were able to rescue them on time. Cassian is immediately taken to the med center, he is bruised up and sore, but he and Jyn are alive. Such a strange thing, specially since he had made peace with death. He had known that he would not return from Scariff, and yet… they did. Only them.

Jyn doesn’t move from his side, refuses to. He doesn’t blame her, she has lost so much. And he feels like they have now become each other’s anchor.

The medic fortunately, lets him up soon. Nothing broken, but he’s ordered to rest his ankle. He does not complain. It could be worse. “I hope we win.” He finally tells Jyn one day as they make their way back to Yavin IV.

“We will,” Jyn replies with a certainty he doesn’t feel right now. Not with Leia captured. “You’ll see.”

He smiles, it’s now Jyn’s turn to have hope. But so can he, he doesn’t loose the spark of hope as they wait for any news of Leia. And the spark of hope turns into a raging inferno when Leia returns, plans in hand. Jyn holds his hand as they debrief on the plan of attack. When the Death Star is blown to pieces, they celebrate with the whole base. They drink and dance, this is a victory they help make possible. And they also mourn, for Bodhi, for Baz and Chirrut, for Kay too. And for the men who followed them to Scariff and did not returned.

A little short time later, he is being sent to an undercover mission again to retrieve some information, Jyn will have to wait behind. And she is not happy, it doesn’t take a genius to see it. It is in the way she pursues her lips and her jerky nod as she’s told she must wait for him in base. And Jyn doesn’t hide her displeasure at not being sent as his second. Only at the reminder that she has never been undercover, that she allows it and lets go, if only reluctantly.

He’s prepping his things, ready for the mission, when Jyn says, “Hug me. I know you’ll probably be gone for a bit, and I want you to hug me before you go.”

Turning to look at Jyn, he sees the shades of the child who lost her parents. And he abandons his folding and walks towards her and envelops her in his arms. “I’ll come back. Faster than you’d have the chance to miss me.” He tells her. “It’s just a retrieval of information, nothing that would require me to stay for long.”

“Then, you better come back soon.” As Jyn speaks, she tightens her hold on him. Making her unhappiness know by the simple gesture, but one that speaks loud and clear. “Do your thing, come back home quickly.”

“I’ll come home fast, I promise.” He doesn’t say it, but now home doesn’t mean Yavin. It means her, and while he is quite reluctant to part ways with her, the war is not over and they need to keep going until the day he will be finally be able to put this aside and maybe settle somewhere.

Jyn’s voice comes muffled against his shoulder, “You’re my home now Cassian, so please, return safely.” She takes a deep breath. “Don’t make me loose another home. Not you. Not after what we survived.”

A knot forms in his throat, and he hears the ‘I don’t want to be lost again’ she doesn’t say. So he holds her tightly, and kisses the top of her head. She is easy to love, and while normally he would be reluctant to call what he feels for her love, there is no denying it. His heart is hers. He is hers, completely. “You won’t even have the change to miss me.” He tells her. “You’ll be busy, no doubt. And Mon won’t just let you do nothing. She believes in you.”

“I do not doubt that Mon will make me do something, but I miss you already,” Jyn responds quickly. Then she pulls back from his arms to look up at him. “You called this planet, this rebellion home when you welcomed me, but, I know deep in my heart that they are not my home. You are. So, please, come back.” And then she sighs.

It feels like someone is squeezing his heart. “I know,” he speaks softly. “I feel the same for you. You are my home. And while I’m quite reluctant to leave it, I must. We still are not done fighting, but once it’s over, I’ll never leave.”

And Jyn gives him a smile, one that shows understanding. “I know, it’s almost strange, how quickly I found you. How easy it is to call the circle of your arms home, but I would be lying if I didn’t. And I hope you think of mine as your home. So, go and hurry home.”

It is his turn to smile. “Your arms and you are my home now, Jyn. And I’m not eager to leave, not now when I have found you.”

“Good,” Jyn’s smile turns one of self satisfaction. “That is good to hear.” It is only then that she lets him go and points at his things. “Now hurry, the faster you complete your mission, the faster you can come back. I’ll be waiting.”

He takes a step back and looks at his luggage, then nods. “You won’t have time to miss me.”

And he returns to finish his work and once he’s done, Jyn walks with him to the ship. She climbs aboard with him, and then holds his face firmly between her hands. “Come home.” She says and places a gentle kiss on his lips.

He returns it quickly, “I will.” He promises, and he will do whatever it takes, to come back to Yavin. To come back to his home in her arms.

My Heart Is Turning, Falling Into Place

Pairing: Cassian x Jyn Rating: T Summary: And yes, he’s handsome. Very handsome and charming, he’s got a magnetic personality that draws you in, that makes you want to be in his presence. He’s got warm, dark eyes that sparkle when he laughs, and very kissable lips… And fuck, she’s in love with Cassian.

Words: 1111 Notes: For @dailyrebelcaptain‘s Valentine Day Celebration. Using prompts: No way & first kiss. Title from Josh Groban’s ‘My Confession.’ Tagging: @mousedetective

Read @ AO3

“No. There’s no way.”

The words leave her mouth faster than Jyn has a chance to realize stop them. She places a hand on the wall and leans against the kitchen counter. She had been minding her own business, just making herself a light lunch, when the sudden thought of Cassian came unbidden.

She walks quite dazed towards her small table, and plops to the closest chair. She rests her elbows on the table and rests her whole face against her upturned hands. “What the hell?”

What the hell indeed. It’s not like she likes Cassian that way, right? Sure, she likes how kind and dependable he is, how he’s the one she can always run to when in trouble and know that Cassian will be there for her in whatever way she needs. He’s funny and responsible – she’s joked before that he’s her jimminy cricket – and a great cook who sometimes gives her left overs, when he doesn’t make extra to give her, because while she can survive on some recipes, she’s not the best at cooking.

He soothes her, he honestly does. She has been described as a fire, but Cassian is the one who can calm it down and always knows exactly how to do it. He knows her like the back of his hand, and she doesn’t mind, because hey, at least she doesn’t need to explain everything.

And yes, he’s handsome. Very handsome and charming, he’s got a magnetic personality that draws you in, that makes you want to be in his presence. He’s got warm, dark eyes that sparkle when he laughs, and very kissable lips…

And fuck, she’s in love with Cassian.

The realization makes her head spin, and forgetting her hands, she lets it fall against the wooden surface. “Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I’m in love with Cassian.”

Now the question was, could Cassian return her feelings? Maybe. But the better question was, was she going to pursue something with Cassian, or just let the things be as they were? She needed to think… which she did for a grand total of ten seconds before deciding that she was not a coward and yes, Cassian was worth the possible heartbreak if he said no.

Mind made up, she knew she needed a plan. Because while she did approach men when she wanted, it was very different from approaching a stranger, than approaching someone you already loved as friend whom you wanted to change to a lover.

She could enlist Leia, she and Cassian were close, but she didn’t want to involved someone else. This was something that she had to do on her own. She was so lost in thoughts that, she nearly jumped when her phone vibrated. When she saw who it was, she sighed, of course it was Cassian. It was a text, it read: ‘Want to go and watch a movie?’

Of course she wanted to go and watch a movie, she would follow Cassian anywhere. She would do anything if it meant spending time – much better alone time – with him. She texted back, ‘Sure. When?’

‘Later today, if you’re not busy?’

No, she wasn’t busy. Hell, she’d cancel plans for this man. ‘What time?’

‘Eight, works?’

‘Yes. See you there.’

His response was a smiley face, and it made her smile. When no more texts came, she rushed to her room, she wanted an outfit to look good in. Much to her luck, she found something and got it ready, she debated for heels or flats, before choosing some heeled boots that would match.

She spend the time she still had to waste trying to finish her book, but all her thoughts went back to Cassian and their date. Sure, it was not a date-date, but she wanted it. It was then when she decided to just jump into the deep and ask Cassian to date her after the movie. Or maybe before.

She changed, did a full face of make up, grabbed her purse and walked out. She made her way to the cinema quickly enough on her car, she had lucked out and in that she there was no traffic. When she got there, she found Cassian near the entrance and her heart skipped a beat.

When she looked at him, and he smiled at her, she decided that it was now or never. She approached him and gave him a hug, one he returned gladly. “Hey, Cass.” She started, and while she began feeling a knot form on her throat and like she had swallowed a bunch of butterflies, she took a deep breath. “Listen, there was something I wanted to ask you.”

“You know you can ask anything Jyn.” That and a smile was Cassian’s response.

One hand tensed on her purse, “Ah… well,” oh hell, was her courage failing her now? But looking into Cassian’s soft face, and thinking of her mother, she squared her shoulders. “I wanted to ask if you want to go out with me?” There, no taking it back.

Cassian’s eyebrows shot upwards and his eyes grew wide. “Jyn, are you serious?”

Oh not an immediate rejection. “Very much.” She grew very serious. “I know I’m just dumping this on you like a bucket of cold water, but I realized that I liked liked you, and I didn’t wanted to waste time. You know me, it’s do or die with me.”

“Yes, I know that,” Cassian smiled gently. “Because I know you.”

“And then you should know, I’m serious.”

“Which is why, my answer is thank god.” Cassian said and chuckled. “You know, I wanted to ask you out, but I – ah, well, lost my courage the other day.”

Feeling like her soul had returned to her body, she smiled at Cassian. “Well then, go me. Or rather, should I say, go us?”

“Us, it sounds better doesn’t it?” Cassian said as he extended his hand.

She took it with no hesitation, “It does indeed. Now, about that movie?”

Cassian laughed, “Well, since it’s a date, and I asked, it’s on me. Now, lets go and watch what you want.”

“You are the absolute best Cassian Andor.”

“Don’t I know it.”

“Now, don’t get cocky on me.”

Hand in hand, they made their way to the ticket stand after deciding on the movie. And they did not let go of each other’s hands through it all. She took Cassian home, and after a moment’s hesitation, as one, they both leaned towards each other and placed a gentle kiss on each other’s lips.

It was a soft and perfect first kiss, and she would later say, she heard music in her head.
