it's my one-year ficiversary!

RIGHT SO according to timestamps, i created the note on my phone that would eventually become breathes in deep the air one year ago today. latter november is, inevitably, a shit season for me (hashtag that ptsd life etc), so it'd not altogether surprising that i was ruminating on trauma and touch and vulnerability and love and power dynamics at the time! but i don't think i ever expected to actually do anything with it, let alone write THIRTY THOUSAND WORDS and make FRIENDS and KEEP WRITING ??

anyway, having read many of the fandom's now-classics in the '17-'18 era but not been much involved in sw fandom since, i returned to rogue one fic sometime earlier last year and found a wealth of fic with a wealth of sweetness and compassion for messy, spiky, traumatized characters. just so intriguing and enthralling and so deeply comforting. and within/around that, a continuation of every part of the film that made me love it--the focus on the everyday people who make revolution possible, and the everyday choices too, the next chance and the next, and moral quandaries, and finding real understanding even through layers and layers of walls, and choosing hope in the face of the impossible.

and highly competent people being down so so bad for each other, obviously. so despite having basically never written fiction of any kind before, of COURSE i was like. but what if jyn and cassian were lesbians and played out all my complicated lesbian thoughts about the intersections of posttraumatic touch aversion and the stone spectrum. and they were in LOVE and also the grimy scifi women had body hair!!

by the time i made this blog, i was Pretty sure i was going to try and finish and maybe post the fic at some point, but it was really all of you that made that possible--your encouragement, friendship, beta reads, inspiration. anyway. just wanted to say thank you to every single one of you in the rogue one/andor and rebelcaptain fandoms for being such a gift over the past year(s), welcoming me in, bringing all your love for this work into the world. it's really lovely to have this time of year be an anniversary of something wonderful, too <3

Hey, giftee, sorry about the shittiness of this time of year for you. I wish that it was better and also that I had kitties to send you. I will send virtual hugs instead, and a rec for an author from the deep depths of RC fandom. Check out caramelle on AO3. Most of their stories are hilarious and a lil smutty.

thank you <3

you know, it DOES sound like an excellent time to go back to some caramelle favorites, you have Taste!!
