Prompt: Promise from the Andor Bingo event hosted by @sw-andor
Preview:
He might have said: what we do here lasts beyond you or I. Â Or he might have said: you and I and all the rest build something greater than ourselves. Â Perhaps more encouragingly still, he might have spoken of Maarva Andor and Clem Jeron. Â Of the friends Andor saved on Ferrix. Â
To speak so would have been folly. Â Luthen said none of these things. Â He looked at gently hunched shoulders and let himself sink into the want which yearned to feel the warmth of skin under his palms. Â He watched the nest of brown hair submit to a comb and a set of shears, and wanted to touch the silken mess, to grasp it before it bowed to order.
Instead he asked, eye catching Andorâs in the mirror, âWhat will you do if they break you?â
In the national flag of Ferrix, the left band is of Red colour, indicating the strength and courage of the country. The central emblem of the middle band indicates the ideal of Ferrix - "Onto Stone we are" and displays the Sky and stone. The right band is yellow in colour showing the clay nature of the land.

The colours remain the same, with the central emblem changing to the First brick of Ferrix, with the words "established in 1912"

Summary:
He expected Cass to step back then, to laugh good naturedly and lean against the rough brick wall while Brasso got his door unlocked. He did not back off. Instead, his eyes dropped half-lidded to Brassoâs lips as he tensed in his arms like a loth-cat the moment before the pounce. There was a half beat, half breath, for Brasso to realize what was about to happen. He did nothing to stop it.
----
Brasso and Cassian navigate the necessary distance between them, even as they are irresistibly drawn to one other.
Finally finished up this piece for Andor bingo!! I will contribute to this event if it kills me. @sw-andor
Here's my fic for the 'Sacrifice' prompt on Andor Bingo @sw-andor , which features a new crack ship - Luthen Rael/Tay Kolma, and I've been thinking about these two middle-aged men far too much

Luthen Rael & Kleya Marki
First meetings, accidental adoption, Kleya needs a hug, Kleya gets a hug, Lore heavy... Prompt "rescue".
Luthen goes on a mission to steal ISB documents. It includes a disguise, breaking into a museum, and getting out without raising the alarm. Many things could go wrong, most accounted for.
A child with a knife and a death wish wasn't among them.
For @sw-andor's Andor Bingo. @saga-ordsmed here it is!
Summary: The path to freedom is never clear. In fact, sometimes its circular.
Prompt: Reunion from the Andor Bingo event hosted by @sw-andor
Preview:
The first prison was a place Melshi knew how to survive. Â Being younger than most of the other inmates by a decade or more, taller, trained, and capable of being deeply unfriendly served him well. Â But his thoughtsâthe unanswered question of the children ate at him. Â Heâd been trained for bulling through problems, as much as heâd been trained for analysis, and he used every last bit of it on the guards.
It got him transferred before a year was through and put a mark on his prison record. Â Intractable. Â He learned thoughârumors and half-truths were still something. Â
The second place, and the third and fourth, were hells. Â He learned to exist very calmly in his own mind, in response. Â Within, he was untouchable. Â Unbreakable. Â Free. Â He slept. Â
Even when he did wake, it was a rising done in darkness, dressing for the mines in darkness, extracting what meager minerals were left in the shafts and returning to the holding pens where he submitted his spoils. Â If the guards were bored, he retreated, inward. Â When he was lucky, he would hold onto the new ones, press them bodily into a corner and teach them how to sleep too. Â
