Fic update: To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause, Thrawn & Andor crossover, Thranto rebel!AU, Thrawn & Luthen, 6/12

the author sincerely thanks @labelma and @fieldofheathers-stuff because THEY ARE THE BEST

Summary:

A discovery Grand Admiral Thrawn makes leads him to an unexpected alliance — and Luthen Rael needs all the heroes he can get.

read on ao3

Excerpt:

“For a future grand admiral,” Eli says, “you are remarkably naive.”

“It’s hardly the first time I’ve heard that,” Thrawn answers, with a dismissive shrug.

The last person who told him approximately the same thing is dead, due in part to Pryce’s actions and in part to his own idiotic, idiotic stubbornness.

“Then maybe it’s high time you ask yourself some questions,” says Eli. “Like ‘what happened the last time I genuinely thought the Empire was running on logic and basic common sense?’ That could be a great start.”

Thrawn opts against sharing his thoughts with Eli here. “I do not have time for this,” he says, making sure to keep his voice as even and emotionless as possible. “I know you work for Luthen Rael. I also have reason to think that you were recruited by Rael’s mole in the ISB. Am I right?”

In retrospect, it is often easier to piece the elements of some stories together.

The technical malfunction at the ISB interrogation facility seems manufactured.

Supervisor Lonni Jung seems like too professional a man to have accepted Thrawn’s challenge so willingly.

What Thrawn needs is a confirmation. Instead, Eli Vanto says, “So you really think I had to be led by someone — after everything we’ve seen?”

Happy Jalter Friday, and happy Jalter July! SO unless you are like in my inner circle, surprise! I cooked and wrote like a fic for every week of the month! The first is an AU crossover with 86 (where my pfp is from). Links are below! This month was hard to prep for, haha but now I can give some love to my summer fic. I know one person here is looking forward to thar XD

###Jeanne Alter###

What the hell?!

“Shiden, this is a joke, right?” Jeanne Alter spat; she had her legs crossed and her back propped up against her M1A4 Juggernaut. Her emblem, sitting just beside her elbow, was a black dragon consumed with flames, sitting as her personal mark of a fire witch.

It was, however, Bloody Regina who answered. “It is not, Jeanne, we are towing a 155 mm Howitzer out to you, as well as some repair crew, a few trucks of ammunition. We can’t put together a full convoy right now…but it’s the best we can manage under the current circumstances. The northern front is under even heavier pressure, and we can’t spare the trucks or manpower right now.”

Jeanne Alter groaned, “So we make do with what we have, and do our best not to die? Fucking worthless republic pissants.”

On the other side of the pararaid’s resonance, she felt Shiden’s ire grow to a manner that it almost started Jeanne from her current place of comfort. “Disrespect our queen again, and I’ll come over there and take you out myself.”

“Shut up Shiden! My respect for our queen has its limits. Don’t follow blindly and all that!” She clicked her teeth.

Jeanne Alter also grew acutely aware that the Bloody Queen’s eyes seemed to narrow her voice, filling with all that same conviction and determination every 86 was getting used to listening to.. “That’s a fair point, Fire Witch. If you have anything you’d like to suggest, I’m more than willing to listen.”

Her lips twisted more deeply at that, her yellow eyes narrowing towards the ground beneath her boots where she rested. In truth, she didn’t have an answer; broad battlefield tactics weren’t her forte, even though she excelled in second-to-second combat with instincts honed by years on the Western Front.

And that’s when a single thought crossed her mind.

What would he have done?

Her lips twisted even more frustratingly further at the thought of it. That stupid handler of hers, who did everything in his power to keep them alive for as long as possible, even though they were on a unit marked for death. A blind, hopeless fool, she couldn’t help but mock and scorn right back into their resonance every time they connected.

But he never left...

She slammed her head into her palm, “Fine, fine! Give us the damned Howitzer, it's maximum range should be about the same as the legions Scorpions.” She slammed her fist against her juggernaut, ridding herself of the thought of her old handler’s stupid voice.

I SEE WIFE

Okay but also. Mon Mothma. I adore what Andor does with Mon Mothma. I love that the main trilogy presents her as an angelic figure in a pretty pure white dress and this series gives her a shitty miserable marriage. A kid that hates her and a husband she can’t stand. Stuck in a ritzy world she is definitely a part of but despises. She’s radical and constantly putting on an act and snaps at her allies when plans don’t go the way she thinks they should.

These all seem like simple things but this is significant coming off the heels of how poorly women in Star Wars are handled. George writes women pretty strictly in the “mother/saint or whore” dichotomy. A woman may move between these roles, but she doesn’t ever get the chance to be much more than those things in his writing. You can see it starting in Return of the Jedi, when his ex-wife left the writing team. Don’t get me started on Padme.

Seeing Mon Mothma go from a personality-less angel that recites battle plans to a dynamic, interesting person is huge to me. They can never make me hate you, Andor.
