Poe’s Chaos Guide to Andor Star Wars Fic

(because ao3 sorting isn't specific enough, I want my own chaos sorting system and here it is)

Andor:

Season 2 Collection:

Weather Report (post-Harvest, Luthen & Cassian)

Whatever This Place (post-Harvest, Bix POV)

Who We Were (s1-s2 bridge, Cassian/Luthen, back on my bullshit)

and Here We Are (still on my bullshit sequel covering s2)

Coruscant Forecast 2665 (s2e8-9 bridge/filler, Kleya POV)

Didn't Get a Name (e9 Vel & Melshi)

Compression Cipher (Wilmon & Luthen)

Cortex Swap (post-e9 Cassian unraveling)

Still Some Bridges (Draven & Cassian)

But One of Many (Kleya & Luthen pre-series; Kleya & Luthen & Cassian)

Bitter Ending (Kleya & Luthen & Cassian post-s1)

Clear Skies Tonight (Cassian & Wilmon post-s1)

All the Perfect (umm... Cassian/Kleya/Luthen? lol. post-s1, more of a 'season 2? what season 2?' situation for this fic)

Written in the Long Gap:

Breaking Cassian Andor for fun and profit:

Pre-series: The Thing Itself (feat: all those little things Luthen knows about Cassian + creative use of Fest backstory + all the other little indulgent tie-ins I worked into this fic)

   Sub-category Brasso my Beloved: Pull Together

                                                                  Spark

Post-s1:

Contemplate the Cost (character death, sequel to Clarity of Purpose, feat: Melshi & K2SO)

Sub-category Melshi my Beloved: Mirror

                                                              Mask

Breaking Everyone Else for Fun and Profit:

Tether (Bix & Melshi, Bix/Melshi, Bix & Cassian & Melshi)

Sunrise (Mon & Luthen)

Remember (Kleya & Draven)

Chandrilan Hospitality (Mon)

The Random Factor (K-2SO)

    Sub-category Putting Them Back Together in the End: Stone and Sky (Kleya & Ferrix crew)

Light(er)-hearted Spy’ish Romps:

Yearn (Luthen & Kleya)

Inside (feat: Draven)

Clarity of Purpose (feat: Melshi, Draven, K-2SO, Luthen, and where Axis & Fulcrum collide)

Double (Melshi)

Spectacle (Draven)

All In (Kleya & Cassian)

Poe’s obsession with the next 5 minutes after the screen goes to black

Everything (feat: a scenic detour)

Pyre (feat: Kleya really wants to shoot Cassian Andor, okay?)

      Sub-category Poe’s obsession with the missing Sky Kyber: Something More

That Thing the final scene of the show did to Poe’s brain and she makes no apologies:

(Or to quote tag: Handling and Manhandling)

Yield (Cassian's unsanctioned foray into sexpionage)

Escape (the one that's fucked up, but like, soft about it)

Floodgate (feat: water-type Cassian Andor)

(Or to quote tag: Being dysfunctional with one another to the point of self-destruction)

Ghosts (some of those Fondor trips are actually for the art, right?)

Equation (the one that's just fucked up, but Dr Gorst gets what's coming to him (offscreen) so it's okay in the end)

The Bad Batch:

Canon compliant:

Missed a Lot (feat: Crosshair & Tech (yes, I said canon compliant) and people getting to experience some damn grief ffs set between s3e9-post-finale) (if you're looking for closure for these two, this one's for you)

Mayday (feat: Hunter & Crosshair, end of s3e4 - end of e5 scene filler)

Decryption (feat: Echo, Rex, Crosshair, end of s2 - end of s3e5 expansion/filler)

Along the Way (feat: Crosshair & Omega, post-finale)

Shadow (Crosshair & Hunter, see tags and author note, dark themes)

Expendable (Crosshair - Barton IV Mayday & CF99 & esp Tech angst)

Nature (Crosshair & Tech, dark themes (grief, abuse, ED), see tags)

Almost Canon compliant:

Something than Nothing (feat: Hunter & Crosshair post s3e5)

Unyielding (post s3e4 speculation on what came after the reunion that actually held up impressively well)

The Point Where CX-Tech Thoughts Started to Creep In (pass the salt)

Landed (stream of consciousness'ish Tech post s2-s3e7)

Breathe (CX-Tech post-series AU feat: Tech & Crosshair recovery)

Primary Mission Objective (CX-Tech back half of season 3 rewrite; Tech, Crosshair, Emerie POVs)

Clear Line of Sight (CX-Tech Extraction divergence feat: Wolffe & Cody)

Speculation stuff that started compliant and diverged:

Plans Change (feat: Rampart & Crosshair post s3e12 and gave Rampart too much credit lol)

A Hit or a Miss (feat: Tech & Phee s2e13 and Crosshair & Phee post s3e11)

53% (feat: Echo & Crosshair set post s3e5)

The Feral Energy episode 3 gave me fun times with Omega & Crosshair:

Plan 72 (feat: Hunter & Wrecker approaching what's probably a trap)

Plan 99 (feat: Crosshair wondering wtf to do now)

Plan 100 (feat: an extra dramatic recovery operation)

32 Rotations (Crosshair & Omega post-ep4 AU in which eps 2&3 occurred concurrently and Hunter & Wrecker missed the rendezvous)

And for a complete change of pace:

Atmospheric Interference (series; cloneship, Tech/Crosshair, pre-TCW to post-TBB AU, dark themes, see tags)

Sanctuary of Sorts (series; cloneship, Tech/Crosshair, priest/demon AU. Yeah.)

Tendency to Veer from Standard Combat Protocol (series; cloneship, Tech/Crosshair, silly smut, polybatch)

Tumblr wouldn’t let me upload the video but I let the mice write a tumblr post for me and this is the result :^)

[ohfuck-abastard-deactivated2023]

i thought that was just. a regular tumblr post and accepted it

I have mixed feelings about sharing videos of the gig, there was something so incredibly intimate and beautiful about it, but I also know how much their music means to people.

Here is my favourite moment from the night, everyone joined in singing Inkpot Gods, in a church in the middle of Hay, and it was just beautiful.

If folks want videos, please feel free to drop me a message, I’ll see if I got that video and pass it on to you 💖

Since Phoebe is 6 years old in season 1 this means that she was born in 2014, which — aside from making me feel old — opens up the potential of Roy missing her birth to play in the world cup... much angst potential to consider...

one of the funnier incidents of me assuming someone knew a meme irl was when a new coworker was talking about some woman who got arrested for tax fraud and I went "God forbid women do anything" and he got scared and thought I was accusing him of being sexist, so he started apologizing and saying how tax fraud isn't even bad, actually.

New proposed nation called The Lake where summer has a daily government mandated 4 hour paid "swim break" and a winter 16 hour work week @ $40/hr

[redfacedpalindrome]

anyway i'm rewatching ted lasso and i'm on the amsterdam episode and. the scene where jamie talks about how his dad took him to the red-light district to lose his virginity and roy immediately acknowledges that such an experience must have been so traumatizing for a fourteen-year old...but beyond that the moment when jamie goes "honestly i don't remember" and roy whips his head around to look at him with such open concern on his face...i'm not sure if the writers meant for it to come off as roy knowing that people often block out traumatic memories or if it was meant to signify roy's shock that jamie admitted to forgetting something about amsterdam when all day he's been spouting exact memories about this place he's visited at most a handful of times. either way it's so powerful it's just a handful of seconds but it's moments like these that really make this show

happy Barely Keeping It Together Wednesday to all who celebrate

[kosmogrl]

everything is changing and maybe that’s okay

[kosmogrl]

as you get older you realise that anything that helps you stop feeling stuck is welcome even if it hurts at first

[jaynovz]

if yall ever want like serious advice from me about how to solve burnout as a creative it's like...

literally ignore it. stop pushing. go do something else, enjoy your life, fill it with other things, do what brings you joy in the moment if you can.

go to the gym, take a walk to touch grass and look at dogs and smell flowers, cook dinner, watch tv with your friends, talk about your feelings as needed with ppl you trust, take a drive and blast your music, do the chores you need to do, the job hunting slog you need to do, read books that aren't for research, stop cordoning off your brain for The Craft or The Draft or whatever the fuck

forget about the project, stop thinking about it for as long as it takes to be excited again.

fuckin rest, basically

[jaynovz]

reiterating this--

stop pushing. stop blaming yourself for not working on creative stuff enough, stop tormenting yourself. remove all pressure and expectation. it'll be done whenever, you'll work on it whenever. who the fuck knows when that is, but it'll happen when it's ready.

stop doing shit that feels bad. do stuff that makes you happy and relaxed.

at a certain level of spoon usage from job, chores, errands, socialization and basic maintenance there will just Not Be Anything Left for your projects for awhile.

you have to let it build back up and then take your time getting back into it organically as it comes.

hope this helps someone else, bc I have learned it the hard-headed stubborn-ass fish-thrashing-in-a-net way and it's been agonizing.

[ilynpilled]

i like when fiction treats love as a more complicated force and not something that is inherently pure or redemptive. portray it as flawed and complex as any other human impulse. give me love as prejudice, love as possessive stasis, love as addiction, love as blindness, etc.

[ilynpilled]

at that, i find it disingenuous to frame it as “if the person hurt you they could not have loved you. that is not love.” just not a productive definition of the word to me

[starlitsecrets]

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.
