you're cordially invited at my table for a raclette 🧀🧀🧀

omg thank you moria <3 literally best christmas ever. i'm on my way ✈️

[andorerso]

I might pull off a pocket version of the [arranged marriage murderous lying bastards fic] for the smut weekend month, but the question is; where do i claim it? either goes into "hate/angry sex" or "uniform" and/or "undercover" hmm what would you do

girl how can you do this to me... how could you make me choose?? I feel like hate/angry sex makes the most sense for what you're proposing but I'm also 👀👀 about undercover... I think you can work in the uniform for both though

[rebelrainfall]

kinda want to ask about all of them but you have to explain what furnaces or the lack thereof is about! 👀

It's probably not a much huddling for warmth as you're hoping for lol, but it's there! Basically Jyn gets back to Echo Base debilitatingly sleep deprived and then proceeds to have an terrible horrible no good very bad night. Literally just 2k words of buildup to like 500 words of hurt/comfort lol.

-

Little snippet:

It's late, he's probably asleep. She should be asleep. She wants to be asleep. Cassian will be there in the morning and she can wait until then to see him. She can wait until morning to hide her face in the hollow of his throat and bury herself in his arms, she can wait, can she wait? Her quarters aren't far. His are closer. He’s closer, he’s so close and she wants to see him. She can wait. He’s probably asleep, she should be asleep, she wants to be asleep.

Jyn squeezes her eyes closed and shakes her head, trying to wrench her thoughts out of the incoherent cycle they’re stuck in. 

Force. She needs to fucking sleep.

[incognitajones]

it's me, ever so predictable, asking for some lines of Shelter Part 3 if you feel like it <3

For you, always! 😘

The lane widened out into another square surrounded by mid-rise buildings and an open gallery crossing overhead at second-story height. Someone moved along it at a crouch, head barely visible above the stone barrier, and sunlight flashed off metal. 

Jyn dug her toes into the dusty pavement and threw herself at the agent, knocking him face first to the ground. She twisted, trying to avoid landing on him with her full weight, and punched him in the ribs with her elbow instead. He lurched underneath her, fighting to get up. “Cover!” she gasped and threw her arms over her head. 

Something cracked to their left, showering them in gravel that stung even through her jacket. Cassian lurched to his feet and yanked her upright by one arm. Ears ringing, Jyn stumbled after him behind the sparse cover of the closest market stall.

✨ 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

REBEL CAPTAIN SHIPPERS I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!

Ok so I read this Jyn/Cassian fanfic a while ago and I can’t find it!!! It is either on Tumblr or Ao3! I know the exact plot. So just to get is out of the way it was smut.

So Jyn was mad a Cassian for leaving (for god knows how long) when he comes back to the base she is still pissed. And basically they are all at a cantina and Jyn takes this X-wing pilot to the back so where they make out and do other hands on things. Well Cassian caught them and was low key kinda pissed. Long story short they have angry sex which was kinda public. Remember this is angsty so there was I think crying afterwards and both left each other angry, upset, and sad.

Please help me I really want to read it again!!!! Don’t ask why I just do! STAR WARS FANDOM HELP ME YOUR MY ONLY HOPE

Update: WE FOUND THE FIC!!!!

[spookyjyn]

Hello! 💖 A drabble that made you want 100K more words ✨rebelcaptain✨

Hi! SUCH a good question (I have several lol)

the sheltering sky by fulcrumstardust. I am not lying when I say I would literally give up writing if @fulcrumstardust wrote more of this. I NEED more of this so badly it hurts. I mean a WESTERN AU?!? Need I say more????

if thou wear me by ephemera is a more recent one but I am so locked in if they decide to continue. Royalty au, marriage of convenience and it’s written by the queen @incognitajones ? A must read for historical lovers

And last but certainly not least…

un feu pareil au mien by the ever iconic @luciechat technically she did write a sequel le froid brûle pareillement

But my greedy ass NEEDS more. I could easily read a whole 100k Fic about this au. Medieval arranged marriage but they fall in love and it’s so tender please lucie I’m begging for more.

[woahpip]

Hi giftee! It’s me your Santa again!

I hope you are having an amazing week! What are some of your favorite fics that get you warm and fuzzy during this cold winter (doesn’t have to be rc)

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

Part I: In-Universe Settings

Fics set in a galaxy far, far away.

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. 💕

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.

Back to main post (this link is now fixed!)

[sydneyadmu]

rogue one crew gift exchange - for @fulcrumstardust [2/3] - happy holidays moira! <3 (for the prompt ‘I can’t keep it secret anymore’)

Jyn spent years hiding her heart from others and keeping some of her feelings to herself. Her life hasn’t been gentle with her by any means it happened like a natural self-defense mechanism. The thing is she was older now and tired of denying how she felt about Cassian, from who she tried to keep some distance for too long. She didn’t know if he would ever understand her reasons to stay away or if he really felt the same about her at all but she decided he was worth a try: a chance to make peace with herself and to love him the way she always wished.

[frostbitepandaaaaa]

for the fic rec game!! 👀✨😭

omg hiiiiii friend! <3

👀 A fic that you love a normal amount

there are SO SO MANY that match this criteria, but the first one that came to mind was you were my new home by katsumi.

i just love how oddly cozy but also how tragic it is. i also love the concept behind it because, as much as i love Rogue One, obviously, there just was not enough time to really properly develop/flesh out the characters. this fic manages to fix this.

anyway, i just love it.

snippet:

She surprises herself with the force of the want in her. She’s only known him a few weeks—and he’s gruff, and secretive, and single-minded to a dangerous degree—but he’s the first person in a long time she’s had any real ties to. And yes, his loyalty is not to her so much as it is to the cause she’s now a part of. But for now, he’s just a little bit hers in a way that no one else has been for a very, very long time.

✨ A fic you wish you could read again for the first time

all the rest by tomorrowsrain

it's one of the first RC fics i ever read and it's so sweet and painful and inspired me SO MUCH. it would be such a treat to be able to read it again like it was the first time. <3

snippet:

Time is something she never expected to have.

She still wants to kiss him, though she knows they aren’t ready yet—still too bloody and jagged-edged, riddled with healing wounds held together by fraying stitches. They will be, though. One day.

It’s enough to make hope bloom again in her chest, rising fragile from the ashes of Scarif and an Imperial prison.

Someday, someday, someday.

It’s the promise she holds on to through the nightmares and the cold and the shifting Galaxy around him. It drives her steps forward towards that vast, sprawling future.

Someday, someday, someday. 

😭 A fic that ripped your heart out (but it hurt so good)

i love that i have gotten this three times now. us rebelcaptain shippers are truly gluttons for pain aren't we?

we were never going to make it by @fulcrumstardust makes me insane. just the heartwrenching grief strained through every word, the idea of jyn finding kerri... it's just *chef's kiss*.

snippet:

After four glasses of whatever gut-twisting mixture she's been downing in silence, Jyn is no closer having found a good way to do this. There is no good way, actually. So she waits in the cold-freezing air, tightening the too-large jacket around her body like it could replace him, and watches the dark sea. Hoping it would take the sorrow out of her.

send me an ask and i'll rec a fic!

[andorerso]

hello do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior hmm *checks notes* pathetic little wet cat geologist in love with his hot bodyguard?

(this was your free interlude amongst discourse enjoy)

oh thank god it's just you <33

anyway, YES!! I love them and y'all should go read The Blighted Stars by Megan O'Keefe and love them with us. It has enemies to lovers, bodyguard romance, canon bisexual trans male character (who's the love interest and an important POV character), geology if you like that stuff (I didn't understand it but someone licked a rock and my understanding is that that's accurate?), zombie-like creatures, bedsharing, uhm.... what am I'm missing? oh, I know, sensual massages! plus a nerdy little dude who's very into his impressively badass and sexy bodyguard <3 (who may or may not actually want to kill him... at first)

so go read it and then go read Moira's wonderful fic to go with it <3
