“Welcome home, pilot Rook.”
Masterlist of my Star Wars fics organized in order of movies/tv series and characters.
3 & 6!
3) what is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway)
OH MAN OKAY i’ve had this scene in my drafts for ages, like at least 3 years probably, where Bodhi (from Rogue One) is allowed to be way more jaded and bitter and traumatized & he’s super critical of Galen (who i think was so fucking manipulative to him and wish there was more content addressing that) and the Rebellion’s use of actual fucking child soldiers while still deciding to do the right thing. here’s the part i actually got around to writing for anyone interested:
Bodhi swallows and rubs the back of his neck. “Okay then. So, uh, I'm not really used to doing this, do I just say it? Is there some sort of code-word protocol? God, I feel so stupid. Okay. I'm the pilot.”
Cassian stares at him. “The what?”
Bodhi swears. “Seriously? What kind of secret anti-government resistance are you, can't even keep up with a few goddamn code names.” He runs his hands over his face, tipping his head to the ceiling in silent frustration, and mutters something that includes “Galen Erso” and “resistance,” both prefaced by several forms of the word fuck.
“Okay,” he says after a second. “Okay. Humiliate me from beyond the grave, whatever, shouldn't have expected any less.” He sighs and looks at Cassian. “I worked with Erso. Sort of. And he said in the event of his death, people like you come poking around, I tell you I'm the pilot and they'll know what it means.” He rolls his eyes. “I am going to completely disregard the custom of not speaking ill of the dead. Anyway. These people aren't quite the cradle robbers your resistance folk are, but I've been here a while, I can help you.”
“I volunteered.”
Bodhi doesn't appear thrown by Cassian focusing on that facet of the conversation. “You were indoctrinated. Based on what Erso said, you were, what, seven? Six?” He seems to read an answer in Cassian’s silence. “Okay. Six years old. Running missions for an organization whose purpose you couldn't possibly understand, risking your life without knowing it—”
“I was aware of the risks.”
“They let you play at being a hero. And now they call you one, so you still can't see how fucked up it is.”
It’s almost bizarrely hilarious that they’re still whispering all of this. That someone has dissected his worst fears in a matter of minutes when the psychologist back on base has never come close. He really hopes Bodhi actually is trying to help them, with a mind like that.
6) what character do you have the most fun writing?
ooohh it depends honestly! when i need to release some of my anger into the world i love writing hermann gottlieb from pacific rim because he’s one of very few disabled characters with, like, a personality, and since he’s also involved in scientific research it’s easy to translate my experiences into his context and rant about microaggressions lol. just in general i’ve also really enjoyed writing dylan piper from disney’s halloweentown which is 100% the special interest talking but i do think he’s a cool character, this guy who is really ostracized in the human world but still chooses to essentially ignore his own magic. not many people who found out they had magic powers as a kid would do that lol

Its that time of year where I raid my WIP folder and hastily finish things just to get them out in the world!
It’s that time of the year! Tomorrow marks the three-year anniversary of “The 13 Days of Sniperpilot Halloween.” While we don’t expect a lot of traffic this year, we’d still like to offer up some prompts to spark your creativity.
Pieces can be anything: a fic, art, a mood board, or even a photo manipulation. We’re here for anything you create!
Prompts need not be filled/published on the precise day they are released. We’ll also have a master list posted soon for those that may want to get ahead.
Please use the hashtag sniperpilothalloween, tag us, or send us a link to what you’ve done.
Thanks for sticking with us!
It’s been over two years, and I really miss my sniperpilot RP. It ended abruptly with the other person just...not responding, and it kinda hurt.
So if anyone is up for one, and promises to send me a nice: “hey, I’d like to be done here” if they ever want to stop, PM me.
Can y’all check out my Sniperpilot fic on BetaBooks? I need help to improve it! It’s also on AO3 here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/23302729
