@zings on ao3 she/her, 30s, just lezzin out all things rogue one, most things andor, multishipper, carrying the banner for f/f rebelcaptain :)

[zingsthings]

zings fic! because somehow i've written enough for a masterlist now! wild!

the brilliant comet:

breathes in deep the air (e)

Jyn Erso and Cassia Andor try something new.

one: Cassia is besotted, Jyn absolutely bodies some Pathfinders in a sparring match, and Cassia, as is her wont, thinks too much. And so we lay our scene. two: Jyn is… excited, Cassia worries too much, and Jyn contemplates vulnerability-her-beloathed. And also her lover's hands. three: Jyn gets a chance to be all sorts of tactile, Cassia has an excellent time and brings up a Topic, and Jyn has emotions, which is honestly very rude, as a concept. Also, we earn our E rating. four: Yeah, this is the highly emotional facesitting chapter. Have fun! five: It's a bit of a rocky trip back down to Hoth; Cassia spirals over their landing trajectory; many thoughts are had, and a few are even voiced; Jyn repeats a question; and the heater runs out its timer. And so the curtain falls.

stopped for me (e)

Jyn is not dead, Cassia is not alright, and they both learn some things about the mutual value of sweat. And walls. (The rest of Rogue One is pleased for them, but wishes they'd figured this out absolutely anywhere else.)

oneshots:

in burgundy (t)

Captain Andor loses an operative, and Cassia Andor tries (not) to sleep.

it's dawned on me suddenly (t)

A feverish Cassian Andor tries to crack a cipher. The cipher just wants to drop off her stolen goods and get off this bloody planet, thank you very much.

and i listen at the door (t)

It's her latest shift in Yavin's medbay, and Marghîde really would appreciate being assigned anything important at all, for once.

at the moment of awakening (t)

Solo loses a bet, Cassian climbs another tower, and Jyn tries some decent chocolate (and a little something called trust).

but one thing i— (e)

A night of dreams, darkness, and strategically placed sheets.

of tenderness / of thanks (t)

Cassian assists Jyn with a sticky situation. Obviously, they're both deeply, deeply normal about it.

(like a crazed flower) it buds in the dark (t)

A thief and a grifter walk into a vault. (Chapter One | Chapter Two)

rogue one anniversary week | day two: favorite quote

somewhere inside jyn’s brain there was a cave sealed shut by a heavy metal hatch. the cave wasn’t for her protection, instead it was where she locked away the things she was done with but couldn’t altogether forget: the rebellion. saw gerrera. people and places buried in the dark for so long that she barely recognized their names as more than cruel, hurtful impulses.

“there is more than one sort of prison, captain,” chirrut said. “i sense that you carry yours wherever you go.”

good night

“There’s this whole other world, this whole other life, that she’s led away from Vel. She’s been on other missions and has, presumably, assassinated numerous people. She doesn’t talk about it openly. It’s not like you ever get a number, you just know. Even the way she turns up at the wedding, there’s just an implication of what happens to Tay Kolma. [...] It’s like the Grim Reaper has arrived.”

"The bits that I filled in were the thought process of what goes into someone who's part of the Rebellion, who is so used to being a blunt instrument for the Rebellion, and never not really having to think for herself in terms of what she wants in her future aside from revenge. And what happens when you physically can’t be channeling that rage and that hate, and so you have to sit with it and think about what you want and the vulnerability that comes with that. It forced [Cinta] to find hope, and the hope is that she will be with Vel one day. That’s actually what she’s fighting for."

"There was a lot of filling in the blanks for what might have happened, what the thought process was when she was injured. But there were also a lot of underlying messages she’s trying to get across to Vel in the few words she exchanges. She can’t go into depth."

"Faye and I talked about what it can be like to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t know how to show their love in an affectionate way, and what might be holding Cinta back from committing to Vel. She says “the rebellion comes first” [in season 1] and “we take what’s left.” We talked about what has changed in them in that time. In season 2, Vel is quite suspicious of Luthen, or tired of being used by him. Cinta’s coming to that realization, too."

"A lot of our discussions were about attachment theory. Cinta’s a very avoidant person. She’s been through a lot of hurt and a lot of trauma, and it’s probably very difficult for her to attach to someone, especially if she loves them. But what she feels she can attach to is the cause, and that ends up not being enough for her."

Varada Sethu discusses Cinta's motivations, her hopes, and Cinta's dream of a life with Vel. (x)

ROGUE ONE NOVEL EDITS → Bodhi reached for the comm controls again and bit his lip. Baze and Chirrut were out there, probably shooting and getting shot at along with all the rebel soldiers. Cassian and Jyn and K-2 were inside the Citadel by now. If everything went well, even if everything went perfectly, not everyone would make it back alive. 

They weren’t his friends. They hadn’t gone drinking with Bodhi after his crush on Bamayar had rejected him, or helped him reassemble his astromech after he’d stupidly taken the droid apart on a dare. But they had saved him from Saw Gerrera, believed him when Saw and his people hadn’t. They’d never once put him in cuffs. They’d needed him on Eadu and never once pretended they hadn’t. 

They wanted to stop the Death Star. 

They didn’t deserve to be hurt.
