That elevator scene from Rogue One with the brightness cranked up just because.

Happy B-day to one of the sweetest people I know @quarantineddreamer! Much love from myself and @frostbitepandaaaaa!

We hope you enjoy your gift! A certain someone told me you���d like an X-Files AU. (:

“I think you’d have better luck interviewing the victim, Andor.”

Cassian turns around, undeniably relieved to see his partner, Special Agent Jyn Erso, perched on the bottom stair of the half-rotted stoop. She blinks up at him from under the brim of her almost comically large umbrella. Her eyes are knowing, her expression as lucid as ever. She had, no doubt, witnessed the entire debacle between him and the local law enforcement on her short trip from the car to the sway-backed and moss-fringed front porch of their newest crime scene investigation.

“Ah, that’s not my job, Erso, that’s all you,” Cassian tosses back archly. Jyn rolls her eyes and he comes to join her on the bottom stair. He assumes that she does not wish to venture inside the rotted, sodden prairie Colonial until absolutely necessary (and perhaps is wanting to dodge the ire of the local sheriff that Cassian had just pissed off in almost record time).

“Lay it on me, Andor. What is it this time?” Jyn asks, trying to sound bored but he knows better. His partner likes to evoke the straight-laced, no-nonsense career woman but Agent Jyn Erso is also the most accomplished forensic pathologist and scalpel wielder in the FBI… perhaps in the whole damn country. And one doesn’t reach such lofty acclaim by being squeamish. She had also quietly denied several career opportunities over the years that could be considered, well, more sane, in favor of chasing lights in the sky and slicing and dicing in backwater morgue bays.

Had stuck with him. But he tries not to think about that part.

He ducks under the umbrella and they venture out in the weedy front yard in tandem. Jyn makes no effort to accommodate his seven inch height advantage and Cassian does not expect her too. The rain is a dismal, steady drizzle and much of his back is damp within a few steps.

“The victim— 34, male— looks to have been frightened to death,” he announces as if commenting on the shitty weather.

“Cassian,” she groans, stopping to look at him like he had just expressed his desire to join the circus. He knows that tone well. It’s also never a good sign whenever she uses his first name. “Frightened to death?”

He nods, trying, and apparently failing, to keep the amusement off his face because Jyn’s eyes close and she sighs mightily as they continue on their way. “You ever heard of the Boogey Man, Erso?”

“There’s no such thing—“

“Look, I’ll leave it to you, Dr. Erso. Once you get the autopsy done and dusted then you can call me crazy.”

They reach the car and Jyn pulls the door handle on the passenger side. She drove here, but she is not fond of driving— especially when there is a perfectly good man to do it for her— and Cassian is always happy to oblige her in her few glints of prissiness.

She closes the umbrella, shakes out the rain and swings her sensible kitten heels into the car. “Cassian, I’ll save us both some time.” She leans precariously close to him, elbow on the center console of their little rented Cabriolet. He freezes in the midst of fastening his seatbelt (after having to push the seat back what felt like a good four feet). Her hair is damp and a bit wild despite the shelter of the umbrella (her hair always gets frizzy in the humidity— he thinks it’s unbearably cute) and he can smell her perfume. His heart stops in his chest.

“You’re crazy,” she pronounces sagely and falls back into her seat.

He puffs out a laugh, shakes his head, and fires up the car.

Jyn is one of the strongest Star Wars characters ever and I am in awe of her. I have no idea how she went through the whole movie with Cassian “must be 1 inch from your face when I’m speaking” Andor without smooching this man.

[astromechs]

Rarely has stumbling across such a crucial piece of intelligence ever been so satisfying.

Or: after a separation, and a lack of access to a reliable shave, Cassian makes a discovery about something Jyn really likes

rebelcaptain, 2027 words, rated E. this may truly be one of the stupidest things i've ever written.

9 - rebelcaptain!

9. What are their thoughts on having children?

Ooh anon good one. They're kid people, 1000%. I think that they would love to have kids assuming they survive the war together (they do ofc) and feel like they're in a good position to do so. Given both of their childhoods being full of trauma, I imagine that they'd have a fair bit of anxiety about The Potential To Fuck Up Their Kids, and would need to go to therapy or do some significant work on themselves to feel comfortable having kids.

I think they'd be really good parents but also like... it kind of sucks knowing that thirty odd years down the line there's another war. I think they'd hate that, and be desperate to keep their kids out of it - but Andor-Erso kids gonna Andor-Erso.

Their kids would be GORGEOUS. I can also see them fostering, and I have a slightly-related headcanon that Cassian gets involved in advocacy for displaced peoples, especially indigenous peoples. King of getting reparations to folks. It takes a village - maybe they track down stolen "adoptees" from indigenous groups and help them connect with their peoples and birth families. I cannot see Cassian or Jyn being into closed adoptions or like taking refugee kids away from their cultures.

send me an otp and a number

[izloveshorses]

the way the end of jyn erso and hope suite sounds like waves lapping on the shore...

Badly Summarized WIPs

tagged by @andorerso @rebelrainfall and @quarantineddreamer thank you 💜 (I might suck at that lol)

rules: summarize your WIPs badly and let people vote on what appeals to them the most!

[rotzaprachim]

Browsing ao3 like dear gd there is some astonishingly good fic on here but there is also so much astonishingly bad fic on here

[rebelrainfall]

back at it! (cherry-picking random lines from a song out of context to make it about the very specific scenario in my head so i feel something)

[velvet4510]

My fellow RebelCaptain girlies, this one’s for you.

[dilf-din]

You’ve Got Mail AU

Think 90’s, early internet, they meet in a chat room and fall for each other with a twist of enemies to lovers when they meet IRL

Mororbike Racing AU

I just want an excuse to write Jyn in tank tops covered in oil tbh. Think mild enemies to lovers but they have to get along. Cassian is a bit of a diva

Politician’s Daughter AU

Galen is a bigwig politician and Jyn is the disenchanted rich girl. She meets Cassian at a function and tries to use him to get at her dad and ends up falling for him. Think young Cass with long hair and leather and Jyn in matchy suits and skirts.

I really like all 3 of these and can’t decide what to start so I’m hoping there’s a clear cut winner lol

[jeckilon]

I’m here to inform my rebelcaptain girlies there’s not even one single lyric I can relate to them in ttpd. rip

[imgoingtocrash]

Hello there! It's your Rebelcaptain Secret Santa :) Hope you had a wonderfull week and that you have something great planned for the weekend. I'm probably around 1/3 into writing your gift, and I was just wondering: is there anything you absolutely DON'T want to see, any tropes that give you the ick, any characters you avoid? Also, on a completely different note: if you were to choose your top 3 favourite rebelcaptain fics, what would those be?

Oh hello!!! It's been a busy work week but that means money sooo we're going with it lol.

As for anything I don't want to see, I don't think there's anything?? I feel like my prompts were pretty vanilla so I can't imagine anything particularly shocking or appalling that you could do that would make me not want to read something. (And I love angst, so anything darker there is always encouraged rather than discouraged lmaooo)

Now asking me for my favorite fics on the other hand...I'm notorious for making detailed fic rec lists. That's dangerous.

For now, I'll do 3 all time favorites of MANY more, and 3 more recent reads (though some of them are older, because I'm back in the tag rn)

Top 3 All Time Favorites:

cassian andor nonsense + assorted nonsense timestamps by theputterer

I love this series. It's Cassian centric at first, and then it's about their relationship in the context of their pasts and I am just!!! Overflowed with love for it all of the time. I binged it when I first read it, and there are some oneshots in the verse that I come back to and re-read when I'm in a mood. (Blood Brothers, where Jyn gets to meet Cassian's Imperial brother, is a weird favorite, but I think I've re-read it like 4 times. I love that sort of 3rd person POV on a ship I just DO.)

only fools rush in by andromeda3116

I re-read this fic almost every holiday season, that's how much I love it. Fake dating trope, holiday vibes, bickering but well-meaning family that learns to come together. It's catnip to me.

Color My Cheeks by Copper_Nails (Her_Madjesty)

Another older but beloved favorite that I've re-read multiple times. One of the first fics I ever read in the fandom, and I think one of the first sex pollen fics I'd ever read. It's not just trope-y sexy fun, but the fact that it goes into the AFTER of a sex pollen event and what that means for them emotionally feels so unique and interesting. Now I'm thinking about re-reading it again. Sigh.

Definitely could give you more all-time favorite recs, but here are some more recent fics I've read:

Lost and Found by mosylu

As of today, just completed, and WOW what a journey! I left rambling, crazy comments on this fic almost every week for good reason. It was sweet, it was angsty, it was just!!!! Amazing. I'm probably going to come back to this one again down the road for sure.

Delivery Week by SleepyKalena

I've read quite a few Film/Production based fanfics over the years, but this one is for us post girlies!!! An edit bay meet-cute, bitching about color correcting/matching--truly this fic has it all and feels tailor-made to me as an editor, even if it's at an animation studio rather than live action.

spy games by skitzofreak

I'm basically reading through all of their star wars fics right now, so highly highly recommend this author as a whole. (The fact that I've apparently left kudos on some of them before and don't remember it at all is...funny.) This one is just a great, cute starter where Cassian and Jyn have an entire silent conversation in front of a bunch of recruits. So good.

Your asks remind me to send asks to MY giftee, so I'm so happy to hear from you each week! Have a wonderful week and good vibes to your writing progress! 💖

[frostbitepandaaaaa]

I'm torn between two fics for you: the first is your last Whumptober fic which was just *chews glass* I know it's your most recent but it was so memorable for me, I think it'll go down as one of my favorite Rebelcaptain fics ever. and the second is your zombie fic because I just loooooove zombie fics! Cassian on top of the bell tower with his sniper lives very vividly in my brain... And that ending agfdgfdhg. Yeah <3

gdsjlkgdf omg sissi THANK YOU!! i am so honored, so flattered. seriously made my day! <3

and yeah... cassian with a sniper rifle, in the rain, on a bell tower... that was for me and all my cassian girlies. you're welcome <3

Anonymously - or not - tell me what passage, fic, line of narration, or anything you remember me by as a writer.

[astromechs]

okay rebelcaptain girlies, let's settle this

[jyndor]

okay i just think it’s neat that cassian is a scorpio sun and jyn is an aries sun, and their sun signs are both ruled by mars
