What are your favourite Jyn/Cassian fics ?

Okay, so at first i tried to get this as short as possible? But i’ve read so many amazing fics these last 7 months, i couldn’t leave anything out. I added exactly 60 fics here (and i am pretty sure i forgot to put some i also loved). I’ve rec-ed several fics back in january too, you should also check them out (x) …sadly some of those WIP fics aren’t finished yet.

Anyway, i sorted these fics by rating: 

NOT-RATED:

1. floating, sinking (by @shu-of-the-wind) 

Somewhere in her is the sinking feeling that they weren’t supposed to survive.

[Jyn’s not entirely sure how they lived. She just knows that they did. She’s not sure how the Rebellion lost the plans, either, but she has half a plan to fix that. Maybe. Mon Mothma has other ideas.]

[Post-Rogue One. Runs through A New Hope. Eventual Rebelcaptain.]

2. the violet hour (by @mellamymake) - modern AU

Jyn can’t sleep. Thankfully, it sounds like her neighbour can’t, either.

Or, the one where Jyn gets a new neighbour — one who turns out to be rather musically inclined.

3. slowly, and then all at once (by @mellamymake) - modern AU

It’s probably sheer stubbornness, Cassian thinks wryly. Even so, it doesn’t mean he’s just going to leave her like that.

Or, the one where Jyn has a habit of falling asleep around the apartment, and Cassian develops a habit of carrying her back to bed, because he’s a Gentleman, and a Good Friend.

4. run to me in the rising dawn (by @leralynne)

Jyn has never had anyone stick around before. The battle is over now, but the war rages on and Jyn is already preparing for the day when she loses Cassian, too. (She doesn’t realize he’s terrified of the exact same thing.)

5. lay down my shields (by @leralynne​)

Jyn comes down with a strange reaction to a foreign plant, but it doesn’t seem like a big enough deal to bother anyone with. That is, until she faints in the middle of the hallway.

6. closer (by muggleindenial28) - slight adult themes

“They don’t speak on the way down.They don’t acknowledge the distant shrill screams of TIE Fighters and X-Wings outside.They don’t think about how they’re not going to get out in time.”

They make it off Scarif, but not without scars.

RATED G:

7. if only (by @ohstardustgirl)

A fix-it: “If Only”, as in “If only Krennic had never went to the data tower, how different things could have been.”

How Cassian and Jyn would have survived Scarif, and what would have happened after.

8. places we break and bend (by @incognitajones)

In which Jyn is injured, and frustrated that dealing with her hair one-handed is impossible.

9. until the dust settles (by @jynersoandor)

Here were the facts. One, Jyn expected to die on Scarif. Two, that had allowed her to be more open with Cassian than she normally would have been. Three, that against all odds she had not died. Four, that currently she was lying in a rebel base medical room. Five, that if she had lived, then maybe Cassian did too. Six, since they were both alive, that now she had to face their changing relationship and all that came with it. Now it was beyond a tragic tale of what could have been, and was what could be, and that scared the hell out of her.

10. long odds (by mosylu)

When Jyn and Cassian notice that they seem to be getting an awful lot of attention from the other rebels lately, they check in with Bodhi to see what he knows about it.

11. with difficulty and grief (by @ladytharen)

“I’m fine,” he murmurs as she curls up next to him in the ship’s bunk. They are well on their way home and he’s patched up as best he can be, but the sight of him going down under three blaster shots burns brightly in her memory. She’d been shot once, getting to him, and they are both littered with bruises and small injuries.

(But they are both alive.)

“I know,” she says, curling her arm around his chest, and it’s mostly true.

12. the ghosts that survive (by @anghraine)

Love doesn’t cure Jyn’s and Cassian’s many problems. But it helps.

13. use the sleeves of my sweater, lets have an adventure (by @jynersq)

Back in the engine room, he goes to her, more confidently this time. But still carefully, as though she’s a wounded animal. Holding the jacket in his hands. Kneeling beside her, Cassian draws the material, dry and worn-soft, around Jyn’s shoulders like a blanket.

(Or, five times Jyn Erso wore Cassian Andor’s clothing, and one time she didn’t.)

14. when we were young and crossed the stars (by @leralynne)

He tells her he’s been given his own ship, his choice of his own crew. When she asks who he’ll be picking, he cocks his head at her.

“You and K, of course,” he says, like he can’t believe she’s even asking the question when she’s been griping about it for almost six years.

Jyn and Cassian meet as children caught up in the rebellion and grow up together.

15. the forces of others (by @ofhobbitsandwomen)

Everything’s going according to plan on Jedha, until Jyn spots a strange man watching them. She makes a split second decision on how to subvert suspicion.

16. it’s tempting (by @vaultfox)

Cassian’s gone to work with a myriad of ailments before, but maybe that’s because he’s never had the luxury of someone holding him back

RATED T:

17. nothing but water  (by @operaticspacetrash)

Jyn and Cassian find a moment of quiet together, as well as a working shower with real warm water.

18. the kiss on your lips, it should be mine (by @incognitajones)

In which Jyn can’t concentrate.

19. a single heartbeat between your two (by @ladytharen)

He steps closer to Jyn, brushing a loose strand of hair from her face.

(As always, there was nowhere else to go.)

“Hi,” he says softly, and the voices outside key in the code. Her eyes flick up to meet his and a smile plays at her lips. “Hi,” she echoes.

When he kisses her this time, he kisses her like it’s the last chance he’ll ever get. His hands wrap around her waist and she slides herself against him, her hands steady and warm on his chest. Her fingers curl in anticipation as he kisses her openly, as intently and with as much emotion as he can convey.

(For a brief instant, he thinks she is trying to tell him something too.)

 20. a proud, upleasant sort of man (by angel_deux)

It takes Cassian Andor and Han Solo an embarrassingly long time to realize that they aren’t each other’s rivals.

21. kindred (by simplyprologue)

“I left the next-of-kin space blank on my enlistment form,” she whispers, taking the datapad from his loose grip, logging in with her own restricted access codes. Draws up her contact forms, and gives it to him to place his name.

“I’d like that.”

He brings up his own next.

22. hold back the river (by alemantele)

Jyn and Cassian, meeting through a series of unfortunate lives

(and maybe just one happy ending)

23.  comfort me with apples (by miraphora)

The problem was that these covers required a certain level of…performative public affection. And there was nothing professional about the way he felt around Jyn Erso.

24. magnetic pull (by accidentalrambler)

Jyn loves playing with Cassian’s hair.

25.  only fools rush in (by @andromeda3116) - modern AU

“Jyn talked herself into a corner with her grandma,” Han explained. “Now she needs a fake boyfriend for Christmas.”

“Why doesn’t Cassian do it?” Luke asked, and Jyn scowled at him.

[In which Jyn, in an attempt to get her mother’s overbearing, gossipy, and traditional family off her back for one freaking Christmas, conscripts Cassian to join her as her (fake) boyfriend for the whole week in England. Shamelessly, wildly, gleefully AU.]

26. one night and one more time (by @baenakinskywalker) - modern AU

I found you a date,” Bodhi says with all the nonchalantness of her super dropping by to ask about rent. Jyn nearly drops the wine bottle on the ground. “Y’know,” he adds, noticing her deer in the headlights look, “for the reunion.”

or, Jyn is a little more than reluctant to go to her high school reunion until Bodhi finds her a total stranger to go with.

27. we hold on so tight (by @clarkescrusade) - modern AU

AP Literature teacher Jyn Erso and AP World History teacher Cassian Andor are natural rivals, have been since the day Jyn arrived a year ago. Between bickering, they mostly just try to hide the fact that they care about each other. It can get pretty complicated.

Or, a rival!teachers au feat. Jyn and Cassian

28. i was made to need you (by @leralynne)

Three times Cassian and Jyn couldn’t keep their hands off each other, and one time they could but chose not to.

29.   semantics (series, by @leralynne)

      AKA lots of bed-sharing

30. we’ve been here before  (by angel_deux) - character death (groundhog day AU)

She dies on the beach, in his arms. It isn’t the first time. It isn’t even the second. “We’re trapped,” she tells him, blood bubbling up between her lips. His fingers spasm on her wound and he shushes her, his voice shaking. She draws a shuddering breath that rattles in her lungs. “It’s my turn, but it’ll be yours, next. We’re trapped here.”

Or: Jyn has to keep reliving Scarif until she gets it right.

31. a memory lifted from her lips (by @ladytharen)

“Jyn,” he murmurs, his voice a bare whisper as he tilts closer. In a heartbeat, she answers the only way she knows how. Her arms slide around him, closing the space between them, and tentatively, hesitantly, she brushes her lips against his, uncertainty falling away. They only had moments left.

(Welcome home.)

He sighs in a heavy exhale over her and her eyes slide shut as he presses into the kiss, a sweet memory forming for the rest of her life. His arms circle her, weakened but not dismayed, and she tilts her face up to lengthen the kiss. His lips part under hers as she steps closer, a kiss drawn out to a lifetime.

32. before I wake, before the dawn (by redfantasyfox) - slight adult themes

Or: The Four Times Jyn Climbs Into Cassian’s Bed and the One Time He Sure As Hell Climbs Into Hers.

33. if love is the answer (could you rephrase the question) (by @rain-sleet-snow)

Jyn hasn’t admitted that she really cares about anything or anyone since Saw Guerrera, and look where that got her: alone at sixteen with a blaster and a knife and a broken heart. She likes to think she’s better now, smarter and stronger, but really, she hasn’t got any further than that frightened girl in a bunker by herself with shattered beliefs at her feet.

***

They kissed for the sake of the mission, and Jyn desperately wants to do something about it.

34. acts of intimacy (series, by @rxbxlcaptain) 

series of one-shots, non-sexual acts of intimacy 

35. too close, not close enough (by ivyspinners)

In which they kissed for the sake of the mission, and Jyn can’t stop thinking about it.

36. falling like a feather, soft and light (by @incognitajones)

In which Jyn is convinced that she’s hallucinating due to hypothermia. How else could she be safe and warm in Cassian’s arms?

37. what is decayed in you shall be made clean (by imgoingtocrash)

“There’s no need to return this favor for him, but there is a want: To show him she’s capable of this trust, this care, this softness she’s rarely known.

He turns to her, this quirk to his lip that she only sees when they’re teasing and he can’t seem to hold back some sort of reaction to her. It peeks through his layers of careful movements and disguise and personality construction and cuts to his core, to the person he might be in a world without need of a Rebellion.”

Injured and tired, Cassian and Jyn share a shower and take turns caring for each other.

38. this here now (it’s where we touch down) (by mosylu)

With the war over, Jyn knows their time serving the Rebellion-turned-New-Republic is over, too. It’s time to move on and do something for themselves.She’s not too sure about this farming gig. But as long as Cassian’s there, she’s there.

39. my words on your lips (by @yavemiel)

Jyn wants to surprise Cassian for his birthday.

40. for you (by @kyberchronicles)

But who could’ve known?, Jyn wondered. She hadn’t mentioned it, let alone celebrated it, since Saw pulled her up out of her secret hideout on Lah’mu. She hadn’t even remembered it that morning until she glanced at the date on the datapad she kept by her bed.

41. clothes (by @jeeno2)

Jyn shows up to breakfast wearing Cassian’s clothes. Cassian’s the only one who’s surprised.

RATED M:

42. a bad idea (by @moonprincess92nz) - modern AU

“Ok, this is bloody ridiculous,” Jyn finished her drink, before slamming it down onto the coffee table in front of them. “Let’s just have sex.”

Cassian choked on his beer.

43. pain my spirit gold (by spacenarwal)

On the books Captain Cassian Andor and Sergeant Jyn Erso have officially shared quarters for over four months, but Jyn thinks she can probably count on both hands the number of nights they’ve actually spent there together. The Rebellion’s war keeps them both away, sometimes together, but more often than not apart. It feels like a luxury to come back and find him there, sitting on the bunk, legs crossed beneath him in a way that makes him look unusually young, dark hair falling into his eyes as he fiddles with a gutted datapad on his lap.

“You’re back.” She says, dropping her things on the floor by the door, next to his own duffle, dusty and cracked from sun exposure. She doesn’t know where they sent him but she hopes wherever it was he was at least warm.

44. kiss me (like you want to be loved) (by @jynersq)

Jyn settles back on her heels, and doesn’t look back over her shoulder as she walks toward the ship.

If she had, she’d have seen Cassian staring after her in something like bewilderment, his hand drifting up to the place where her lips had been.

(Or, five times Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor kissed.)

45. five things cassian andor only says at night (by @jeeno2)

So no one will hear him.

RATED E:

46. cast some light ‘verse (series, by @brynnmclean)

loosely connected, standalone rebelcaptain fics. 

47. i fought the war (but the war won) (by @incognitajones)

They meet on a battleground, of course.

48. hiding and revealing  (by @incognitajones)

In which Cassian figures the odds of him getting punched in the face are about 50-50.

49. need is always pending on how much you can get (by @incognitajones)

In which Jyn is determined to make Cassian say what he wants.

50. kill the lights and kiss my eyes (by @ohstardustgirl)

Jyn and Cassian’s first mission alone together doesn’t quite go to plan, and stranded on a planet there is nowhere to hide from each other.

She wants to chase the raindrops with her tongue, follow them down below his shirt.

51. opening (by @ohstardustgirl)

Jyn thinks about how much trust it takes to sleep with someone, and how much trust it takes to sleep with someone.Jyn and Cassian have their first time.

52. trading favours (by @mellamymake) - modern AU

“Come on,” she wheedles. “I’ll do the laundry for two weeks. I’ll pay for beer the next time we go out.” She waves her hands in the air, momentarily flailing around for more ideas. “I’ll go down on you.”

Cassian looks up then. “You’re not going to go down on me.”

She snorts on sheer impulse. “You underestimate the depths of my desperation.”

53. a good thing (by @operaticspacetrash) 

After weeks apart, Jyn takes a transport to be reunited with Cassian for a special kind of reunion.Based on two prompts: “Reunited after too long apart” and “He knew they had to be quiet.”

54. behind closed doors, your hands in mine (by @leralynne)

It keeps happening—his hands on her body, his lips on her skin. It’s strange, and rather wonderful, but they never talk about it. Jyn kind of wishes they would.

55. holding a heart here in my hand (by @leralynne)

Jyn kisses Cassian for the first time when she thinks they’re about to die. But then, they don’t die.

56. it’s really good (to hear your voice) (by cooper_nails)

The private comm link is a gift that Cassian doesn’t admit to giving.

57. in these hallowed spaces (by bittersnake)

She’s bruised, battered, and scarred but not broken.

58. just a taste (by miraphora) 

“I didn’t think this was what you had in mind when you said we had time to kill.”

59. to have a fraction of your life (by @ladytharen)

“Does it hurt?’ he asks and she shrugs, rolling her shoulders to test herself.

“I’ve had worse,” she says. Her voice is becoming a distant and faraway thing as Cassian’s breath travels across her skin, taking in the truth of her words. Marks from Wobani, marks from her time with Saw’s partisans, and all the ones in between.

She leans forward on the tips of her fingers, letting Cassian inspect her. At first, his touch is light and studious.

A moment later, it’s not.

60. just put your sweet lips on mine (by @ladytharen)

In the dark, she pulls a fresh shirt on from the drawer by the bed and crawls into the cot. Tugging the blanket around herself, she breathes deeply and smiles to herself.

It smells like Cassian.

Her last thought before she slides into sleep is to wonder whether he’s been sleeping in her bed while she was gone.

(She likes the thought.)
