I'm so excited to finally reveal my RebelCaptain Secret Santa gift for @jynersso! The moment I saw singer/band AU on your prompt list, I knew I had to jump on it. I had a blast creating this for you.

I hope you like it!

RC Secret Santa here! A question for you this fine November first…

What do you think are Cassian’s and Jyn’s favorite colors?

💙

sorry for the late response! been a touch busy with end of semester stuff 💀

good question! hmmm...

i think jyn would say that she likes a colour like green but secretly loves pink (and will punch anyone who dares to tell)

and for cassian, i think he would like something like navy blue but starts saying green because that's the colour of jyn's eyes (not that he would admit that to anyone)

feel free to disregard if you think it's out of character for either of them, though!

I’m glad to have helped make your day a little better!! ❤️ I understand completely, I left my job of 7 years back on July so I know the mixed feelings are realll

I love the headcanons! Reunion post-war definitely has my brain cooking 👀 will check in again soon!

- RCSS

😘

Thank you!

After Day 1 of my last week at this job, my brain is already cooked 🍳

Hello there giftee! I am considerably less glitter-cannon-y than I was in my last message. However, I am Defiant and I will hoard my joys like an evil little raccoon. In the spirit of that, the weather has suddenly turned cold where I am. What's your favorite cold-weather activity, indoors or out?

hello! hoarding joys sounds like a great idea, and there's nothing evil about that!

the weather almost never gets properly cold here in Singapore, but my favourite thing to do when it's rainy is sleep 😂😴😴

[vesper-1898]

Ahoy there! I’m your secret Santa and I’m so excited! I started brainstorming when I saw your prompt and I’ve already got ideas! I hope you like it! Have a good rest of the week and I’ll chat with you later!

Hello!

I'm so excited to hear from you. 😄

Have a nice weekend.

OH MY GOD??!?! I'M IN LOOOOVE!!!! Thank you so much for this! You're spoiling me with the added snippet too. I'm so giddy rn. This is such a wonderful gif ;u;

my gift to @ninsletamain for the RebelCaptain Secret Santa, hosted by @therebelcaptainnetwork ! a modern AU scene with Jyn and her Bernese mountain dog, Mac, and chef Cassian with his German shepherd, Bee 💜

I'm honored to have been your Santa, I love your art! please check out her wonderful Luthen animation and her other amazing art 💜!

details below

I picture this taking place in New York, based on an AO3 tag I came across: "Coruscant is New York" xD. I hc it's this cheesy but also dark Hallmark-esque story:

Jyn is from the suburbs and has a storied, criminal past. She goes to the city to search for her missing father and a roommate, while Cassian is an immigrant who has lived there for years, struggling to make ends meet. He still works as an undercover spy and moonlights as a chef at a restaurant. By chance, he finds Jyn's ad where she's looking for a roommate and answers.

things get complicated when Cassian receives his mission from Draven. I hc the title as The Hit List.

happy holidays! a big thank you to Nins, it was so much fun working on this for you!

[andorerso]

guys I don't wanna alarm anyone but we may break 5000 fics before the end of the year 👀🔥

[onesingularartbean]

Some time off and hand holding at Rebel HQ for the lovely, talented @princessniitza! Happy holidays and much love from your RCSS 💝

Not pictured: Han and Leia are arguing about 40 feet away. Jyn’s sure Han will crack and admit his feelings first, but Cassian’s money is on the Princess of Alderaan. Either way, those two take the heat off, so Cass and Jyn can enjoy a sweet moment without prying eyes. ✨

Hello, it’s your Rebelcaptain Secret Santa checking in! Just wanted to say your otter art of them is otter-ly adorable by the way ❤️!!

Do you have any favorite headcanons for them? Sending you lots of love and holiday cheer!! :D

Aaaa hello again! I'm so sorry for getting back to you so late! And thank you very much! I love the otter pun lol

Here's what I envisioned while working on the piece. Everything in RO is the same, but only Jyn and Cassian are otters. Lyra and Galen would be too in extension I suppose. Everyone else is what they were in the film and interact with them nearly the same with the exception of a few things. Like K2 having to carry Cassian on his shoulder for added height. They speak in squeaks and Jyn has a tendency to bare her teeth and threaten to bite. Any possessions that Jyn and Cassian owned are shrunk down to their size. So mini blasters, packs, jackets, etc...

I think that's pretty much it! Ngl, I still want to draw a few scenes that play out in this AU. It'd be silly.

Bonus concept art that I did before drawing the actual piece:

The Go-Between

For @jyndor, I hope this brings you joy, and wishing you a bright, happy new year to come 💙 (Also this is my first time participating in a fandom secret santa and I don't think I've ever been more nervous to post a story. Soooo posting and retreating to a kyber cave byeee!) ✨ B

Summary: Everyone knows it's about time for Cassian and Jyn to get together--except for Cassian and Jyn. Sometimes, help comes from unexpected places.

Or: a story of kyber crystals, a stray, and two idiots in love.

The biggest thank you to @gaygingersnaps for beta-reading and to @ninsletamain--all credit for the artwork below goes to this incredibly talented soul, who is also a co-creator of the creature featured in this fic <3

[therebelcaptain]

Hello there, RebelCaptain Secret Santa!

xoxo, 🎅🏻

eeeeep, i'm so very excited!!

happy beginning to the holiday season to you, too! <3

[incognitajones]

Hey there, it’s your RCSS! Sorry for the radio silence, the holidays are already gearing up to be busy. But I’ve been having a lot of fun working on your gift. I just have to keep myself from making it too long to finish on time 🫣

Speaking of which, it’s the end I’m still thinking about…do you prefer a happy ending or a bittersweet ending? (Though I guess none of us would be here if we weren’t at least a little bit a sucker for bittersweet) Just for fun, do you have any favorite headcanons for where they’d end up in an ‘everybody lives’ scenario?

Hope you’re having a good week, and an even better weekend!

Hi! Thank you so much for the note - yesterday was an emotional day and getting this boosted my mood a lot. (Nothing bad, just a goodbye party & a lot of feelings around leaving some of my coworkers behind.) The holidays can be crazy, I hope the rest of the month goes easy on you!

I can go either way on the ending... but for a gift, I think I'd pick happy over bittersweet (although if the ship is resolved happily, not everything else has to be wrapped up with a HEA bow).

As for headcanons, I can accept a wide variety, from settling down on a quiet planet to roaming the galaxy helping to reunite missing people. I don't really see either of them choosing to have biological children (outside of some very specific, totally accidental situations) but collecting a few traumatized orphans seems pretty possible! And I do love reunion scenarios in which they're separated immediately post-war (whether that means breaking up or losing each other in the chaos) but find their way back to each other in the end.
