📓

for you, mysterious anon, I shall give you - ✨the Fulcrum!Cal AU✨

. . . which is exactly what it sounds like. An AU where Cal is Fulcrum XD

this one is so great for multiple reasons but mainly because it comes with the shenanigans of Kanan and Cal technically knowing each other for an entire rebels season but not actually knowing it's them. Kanan who tells Hera not to tell him anything about Fulcrum or the rebellion but then goes "oh let me tell you about the time my best friend and I pulled a prank on Yoda and got away with it" vs. Cal who hears all about this Kanan guy from Hera before probably turning around and doing the same thing to Merrin like "man I miss my best friend from the Temple. I really hope he made it, y'know?"

they don't figure it out until the rebels S1 finale along with everyone else. So there's no intrigue and mystery with the Fulcrum reveal because Cal climbs down the ladder and he and Kanan are like

". . . Cal??"

"wh - Caleb??"

"YOU'RE FULCRUM???"

"YOU'RE KANAN???"

cue a lot of yelling and a very happy reunion (and the Mantis crew sticking around for the rest of Rebels because yes)
