Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), Star Wars - All Media Types Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Cassian Andor/Jyn Erso Characters: Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor's Parents, Kerri | Cassian Andor's Sister Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Holidays, The RebelCaptain Network's Secret Santa Exchange, Family Summary:

Today it’s five pm on Christmas Eve, and they close at six. No one is in the shop at the moment, the streets outside are empty, save for falling snow. Jyn’s plans are to go home, warm up the roast she prepared that morning. It’s only forty-five more minutes until the shop closes. In the next fifteen minutes, she could sweep the floor, make sure the displays are tidy for Boxing Day sales, and leave the incandescent Christmas lights softly glowing until closing. Then she’ll need to close up the cash register, take the day’s earnings to the safe, write down the earnings—

The delicate little gold bell over the door chimes merrily as it opens.

Biting back a growl, Jyn turns to face this interloper, this complete and utter layabout of a customer, coming at the eleventh hour on Christmas Eve—

“Oh,” she says flatly. “It’s you.” * Cassian forgets to get his sister a gift. Jyn helps him out.

Hello @youareiron-andyouarestrong, it´s me, your Secret Santa 🎅🎁🎄 I hope you had nice holidays and you are well 😊

Here is your gift for The RebelCaptain Network Secret Santa Exchange 2022.

Your prompt was a song lyric “my hand was the one you reached for, all throughout the Great War”/homecomings, return, reunions.

The whole story was inspired by "The Great War" by Taylor Swift, because I listened to it more times than I can count when writing this.

The song felt a bit melancholy to me, so this certainly influenced the tone of the story. I wanted to incorporate the fact that Jyn and Cassian are both very broken people and need a bit more time to get the hang of the whole relationship thing. There is a bit more angst than was initially planned but it has a happy ending. Also the last chapter was inspired by one of your favorite RebelCaptain tropes.

I hope you like it, I certainly had a lot of fun writing it and being your Secret Santa in general 🤗

comp titles challenge: practical magic meets the old west, suggested by @youareiron-andyouarestrong

two very different sisters living with their elderly aunts are their small town's local witches. they provide insight, charms, and a hex or two if you need. when one of the sisters gets involved with a man who treats her wrong, well, things have to be dealt with. the town's new sheriff is awful interested not only the missing man, but those tonics the locals have. when he shows up at their door, one witch may find her heart black heart still beats.

For @youareiron-andyouarestrong for @therebelcaptainnetwork’s Secret Santa 2023!

Rating: Mature

Word Count: 4,772

Relationship(s): Cassian Andor/Jyn Erso

Summary:

“Jyn,” he grunts, and despite everything going on, that’s enough to pause them both.

Her messy bangs are sitting just above her vibrant, overblown green eyes. Pink takes over her pale complexion. He feels the thump of her heart under the curve of his hand. Her top is slipping almost completely off her shoulder.

So close, but he needs to know. If he doesn’t know—

“Jyn, are you sure that you want this?”

Jyn is drugged and it quickly blurs the lines of her partnership with Cassian.

Read on AO3

Happy Holidays, @youareiron-andyouarestrong! Thank you for being such a lovely giftee and answering my questions. My gifter was really inspiring on that front so I felt like I should pass it on! 😊

Hopefully you enjoy this little present, I really enjoyed writing it for you, especially since I haven’t exercised my writing muscles in…a while. There’s no better reason than a gift exchange!

As always a HUGE thanks to the mods at @therebelcaptainnetwork for their hard work in organizing and overseeing the exchange. We’re only back because of them getting all of the pieces together in such a timely manner!

Enjoy!!!!

Late to the party, but @mosylufanfic tagged me and it looked like fun! Not all of these are Rebelcaptain, or even Star Wars, and they don't include any gift fics that I’m currently working on - just WIPs that could (theoretically) be posted soon.

Answer the Questions and Tag 5 Fanfic Authors

I was tagged by @youareiron-andyouarestrong and @menina89 for a fanfic writer tag game, which was quite fun to do!

1 . How did you get into writing fanfiction? A lot of the very early stories I wrote down were continuations of books I read. In one of my summer journals my mom would have us keep in elementary school, I found a story extending The Littles with characters who were welcoming a new baby. See, kidfic was my favorite even when I myself was a kid! Of course, it was only much later that I heard of the concept of fanfiction, in high school. Shortly thereafter, I booked it to the school library during lunch or a free period and banged out a Supernatural wee!chesters sickfic. Created an FFN account and, as they say, the rest is history.

2. How many fandoms have you written in? Counting just what I've posted to AO3 (so not all the stuff from early childhood), and not double counting adaptations as separate fandoms, 19 so far. Not telling which, but that will be increasing to 20 in the near future...

3. How many years have you been writing fanfiction? That story I told above was from when I was 6 or 7, if you want to count that. Otherwise, somewhere around 15.

4. Do you read or write more fanfiction? Usually I'd say I read more, but it's been about even lately, particularly as I've been writing mostly for Lockwood & Co - I'm really, really picky with what I'm comfortable reading in that fandom. Lately, though, I've been reading more for other fandoms (particularly Dune and Little Women, and making a small dent in a large backlog of reading for some of my earlier fandoms, like Stargate Atlantis, Farscape, and Fringe).

5. What is one way you’ve improved as a writer? Writing conflict. It's still not something I find easy, but it's something I find rewarding, so I've been working at it. And I think I've come a long way so far.

6. What’s the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project? When I was writing my Those Binary Stars 'verse for Endeavour, I did frequent, if light, research to keep things as historically accurate as possible. Stuff like when were whiteboards invented, when did Scrabble enter the mainstream, when did people start using car seats with children and what were they like earlier on...

7. What’s your favorite type of comment to receive on your work? When somebody picks up on symbolism I infused into a fic, that's so exciting. Sometimes it's something I didn't fully notice as I was writing, which is a bonus! It's also a delight to hear specific lines that worked for a reader, or hear that everyone is in character (this is especially vindicating for minor and/or complicated characters).

8. What’s the most fringe trope/topic you write about? Probably my more explicitly religious fic? It doesn't feel super fringe most of the time, given my writing circle, but in the grand scheme, I recognize that it is.

9. What is the hardest type of story for you to write? Anything with significant plot, especially if I have to account for the passage of time. I also find major AUs impossible. Minor canon divergence, sure, especially if deviating from a particular moment in canon. Changing the setting or foundational truths about canon? Terrifying.

10. What is the easiest type? Some drabbles practically write themselves. As indicated above, I am a canon-compliant girlie. Post-canon is where it's at, although I also like magnifying a moment in canon to peel apart the layers and dive deep into the emotion. This works especially well for angstier work, which, perhaps contrary to appearances, I often find flows more easily than fluff for me.

11. Where do you do your writing? What platform? When? I mostly use Scrivener, on my couch at home in the evening, laptop propped on a pillow on my lap, horizontal to varying degrees. One day my back will hate me for this. I also do a lot of preliminary writing prep in the notes app on my phone, wherever I am (on the train, in bed, in a meeting at work, etc).

12. What is something you’ve been too nervous/intimidated to write, but would love to write one day? I've got three rather ambitious AUs in progress, which I'd love to write but I think I'd have to break them apart a bit into things I could do in stages, perhaps a series of oneshots posted out of order, like Restore the Years has turned into (but with more overarching plot). In order of increasing difficulty/plottiness: Lockwood & Co office menace Skull AU, Fringe S4 fix-it AU, Endeavour spy AU.

13. What made you choose your username? I started as visionsofmangos on FFN (and later, AO3), which was my attempt to follow John Green's idea to just throw together a couple words that sounded sort of pretty and poetic in combination but didn't inherently mean anything. (I don't even especially like mangoes, and usually spell that word with the E.) This is because I had something to post and no idea what to call myself and I was in a rush, and also because I very intentionally did not want to use the same username as I used for Tumblr - I would share my early fanfiction with my sister and some IRL friends, but my Tumblr existence was separate. (Even now, although I have my Tumblr linked from my AO3 profile, I'm more comfortable with the reverse - my Tumblr peeps are welcome to my fanfic, but I'm a little nervous about fanfic people coming to find me in a wizard hat eating mayonnaise out of the jar at midnight on this here blog, or however the post goes.) I eventually chose human_dreamer_etcetera for my "everywhere except Tumblr" username, which I used a lot as a self-description prior to that and quite like for its more meaningful poeticism.

last line meme

tagged by the amazing @firstelevens

rules: in a new post, share the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).

"I can't find it," comes the disembodied voice. "You can't find it because of your terrible organizational system." "It is not my terrible organizational system, which you know, and besides which I have never had problems with it before." "Try the kitchen." "I've tried the kitchen twice." Bang bang bang, continues the sound of the hammer from the back room. Eowyn wonders if there isn't an ongoing construction project. The young guy on her left, with the moppish hair and jumper, gives her a look as if to say, Filing cabinet, maybe? "As you can see, gentle lady," explains the stocky bearded man behind the desk, while the second voice declares somewhat redundantly that he is, in fact, going to check the kitchen, "we are a tad busy this afternoon. Someone will be with you momentarily." Then he turns, presumably in the kitchen's direction, and calls out, "if you ask my opinion on the subject again I'll wallop you with Aragorn's dratted guitar!" Eowyn looks; there indeed is a battered old guitar, perched merrily on a pile of papers behind the front desk, ready to be used for walloping.

this is not 1 line but i needed u all to know that i dove off the deep end and am attempting to write the 3 hunters private detective agency au. as if i dont have plenty of other wips already.

writing patterns tag game

Rules: post the last sentence from your 10 most recently posted fics (less if you don't have 10 is also fine).

All fics are rebelcaptain

The Best Part of Waking Up (modern AU, fluff) - Bodhi grinned to himself and pulled up an apartment-searching website. He had the feeling his sister was going to want her privacy back pretty soon.

Things Unsaid (canon, hurt/comfort) - "I love you. Idiot."

Booty Call (modern AU, lightly smutty fluff) - The last thing she did, before she snuggled into his side to fall asleep, was to find her phone and change his name in her contacts from BOOTY CALL to CASSIAN.

You Need a Good Partner (canon, fluff) - Some minutes later, Kay called out, "If you must kiss, put away the weaponry first."

Role Playing (canon divergence AU, smut) - Cassian settled himself into his own bunk and said what he said every time: "None of your business."

As Long as It's You (modern AU, smutty fluff) - She pretended to think about it although she knew her answer. "Well, as long as it's you."

I'll Take What I Can Get (canon, angsty smut) - Just as he had every time before, Cassian stared into the dark and told himself he was going to put a stop to this. 

All the Broken Hearts in the World Still Beat (modern AU, longfic) - He's saying something in her ear, and she's laughing.

Linen and Kisses (modern AU, fluff) - "Don't forget the kisses."

A Mere Trifle (modern AU, fluff) - "Thanks," Jyn said, shrugging, dealing the next hand. "It was nothing."

Tagging @hedgiwithapen, @youareiron-andyouarestrong, @rifle-yes, @ruby-red-inky-blue, @incognitajones, @astromechs, and you if you like!

A very late addition to your Rebelcaptain Network SecretSanta gift. I hope you like it 😊

Can be seen as an illustration for the first chapter of I will always be yours (‘cause we survived the Great War)

I was initially planning on doing a drawing for the SecretSanta exchange, but then I started writing on the fic and I didn't like the initial sketch, so I discarded the idea. But I reworked the sketch and finished it now, so here it is 😄✨

[andorerso]

When I last saw "A fell first, but B fell harder", I thought... it's like the scene in The Princess Bride, where Man-in-Black!Westley is tumbling down the ridiculously long steep hill and then Buttercup jumps after him when she realizes she shoved her true love down the hill and now they're both tumbling idiotically. Anyway, then I imagined the same thing with Jyn and Cassian, except Jyn is Inigo Montoya, because of melyzard and youareiron-andyouarestrong's unfinished Princess Bride AU.

confession time: I've never seen the Princess Bride. yes yes I know, you can throw your tomatoes at me

but I will say from that description, it makes sense to me to have Cassian be the one to tumble because it parallels when he fell from the tower and Jyn literally wanted to jump after him, so I guess here she does! I can totally see it 👀
