She/her, 50s āgeriatricā. Semi-retired English teacher.
Huge 'Andor' nut who also loves Rogue One. Big on analysis and mostly on the r/Andor Reddit aka The Non-Toxic Star Wars Sub. Mutishipper and proud Bix fan (as written!) and Bixcassian champion. A few non Andor things but tbh itās the main reason Iām on social media now as it has changed my life (TM) . Avatar: commission by Cal Kestis (@lovesr1sk) on X. Fics: https://archiveofourown.org/users/colleybri/works Side blog re fics: https://www.tumblr.com/colleybrifanfics
Cassian started out as a traumatised and selfish young man who loved a select few. Sometimes he made bad choices, all too often others chose for him. Slowly, the circle of people he cares about expands. He also finds hope in the midst of loss and conflict and wants to make a Home with the love of his life.
But that was never meant for him.
Sometimes the decisions others make for us help shape our path in life, whether we like it or not.
The Messenger is finally where he needs to be. The centre of the rebellion. In this beautiful shot ā the symbol.
Bix chose the Rebellion and in doing that put the Messenger back on the path to where he needs to be.

he is stable. you are deep. i know just how to get what i need."| pushing it down and praying by lizzy mcalpine
bixcassian edit requested by @colleybri i'm having trouble answering the actual ask so let's try this!
in my head she stays on yavin. she waits for his reasonable panic to subside and they raise their baby together. no one has to make any unnecessary and forced sacrifices because the writers couldn't imagine a kinder story for them. he dies knowing he's a father, living with the love that was always inside of him but that he reclaimed by choosing to love bix. so this edit is intended to end with that sentiment. "i know just how to get what i need," which is both the rebellion and the woman he loves. (tony gilroy when i catch you)

A huge thank you to everyone that participated in the first annual VelKleya Week! There are over 30 new works, both fic and art, under the cut to peruse and enjoy! Please share the love with the creators - I know everyone worked hard on their contributions.
FANFICTION:
Life in Carbonite by thymidinekinase
After the destruction of the Death Star, life on Yavin is in a state of constant tension, waiting for the Empireās final invasion. Supplies run short and tempers shorter. Vel and Kleya reach an understanding on the topic of stress-relief. But with the ghosts in their past, can it ever be more? Five times Vel and Kleya were friends with benefits on Yavin, and one time they were more.
So Little Is A Stone by oldhobbies
Itās been months now. Why is she acting like Luthenās the first person in the Galaxy whoās ever died? Sometimes a phantom Vel sits beside her in the radio room, holding a fictional cup of tea with the worn-out care that clung to her like sweat on Yavin. Vel doesnāt say You know why. Every loss is different. Every oneās the same. Kleya hears it anyway. Or, the escape from Coruscant takes a physical toll on Kleya, and her rebellion is forced into a different shape. But even away from the Alliance, she has friends everywhere.
It's That Thing You Do (It Gets Me Every Damn Time) by write4good
5 times Vel sees Kleya without a bra, and the 1 time she does something about it.
find me in the present by sway_to
Detective Vel Sartha and the medical examiner, Dr. Marki, donāt exactly get along. When Vel ends up tasked with investigating the death of her cousinās Monās close friend, things change between them. Sort of.
Candlelight by velkleyaenjoyer
During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, Jedi Knight Vel Sartha makes the momentous decision to leave the Order behind. Set free on Coruscant and cast into the maelstrom of Order 66, she finds an unlikely ally in survival: Republic Intelligence Officer Kleya Marki.
beginnings by darkdisrepair
Moments of firsts in Kleya's life, from the day she was born and beyond- first days, first loves, and more.
truth comes finally into the light by lonely_is_so_lonely_alone
On the brink of World War II, Kleya and Luthen travel to Italy and find a beautiful diplomat, her ineffectual husband, and a small blonde woman ready to burn down the whole country.
Where the Falcon Flies by rubikswriter
Kleya of House Marki has worn a crown for so long that she can feel its weight even when it isnāt there.
You Came Like a Comet, Blazing Your Trail by JJPOR
In an alternate universe and a very different version of the Cold War space race, does reluctant astronaut Vel Sartha have the right stuff to put her demons behind her and help save the world? And will she ever figure out just what the deal is with the mysterious Dr. Marki?
It's a Lovely Day Tomorrow by books_r_better
āThey want to crush us. They want us to be too weak to resist. We have to bear witness, donāt you see? Most people look away, we canāt be like that.ā / āSo what do we do?ā / āWe try.ā Kleya and Vel, another time, another place. Another war.
gravitational aftermath by sway_to
The Sun is beating eaten by an alien micro-organism. If Kleya Marki is going to beat it, sheāll need Vel Sarthaāand not just in the lab.
What We Became to Survive by dctorwhu
Trapped inside a secret facility where cruel experiments turn children into weapons, seven girls survive the only way they can: by becoming a family.
Skylight Slipping Through my Door by Kiwi_in_space
Kleya always pretends to be asleep when Vel slips into the yurt in those soft, slow hours of the morning. What Vel doesn't know can't hurt her.
Make It Look Good by write4good
After leaving Luthen's Axis network--Vel is adrift. Without purpose. Then--she runs into Kleya. At a strip club.
belly of the beast by ofwings
Kleya has done this calculus herself, more than once, wrapped in shadows and wielding information like a poison-dipped dagger. But itās startling here, in the shining halls of the Alliance, rubber stamped by the Chancellor. Thereās no fighting it.
What If The Way You Hold Me Is Actually What's Holy by write4good
While hiding out from the Empire, Vel and Kleya are stuck inside during a rainstorm. And Vel gets a tantalizing demonstration on how devoted Kleya as a priestess would be.
Here Comes the Rain Again by rubikswriter
Rain finds Kleya before sheās ready for it.
Conflict Resolution by pages_turned
Vel makes a questionable decision on a patrol. Kleya calls her out on it. An argument ensues. Their method of conflict resolution? Missionary, so we can keep arguing.
You Fire Me Up And Then Drop Me Down Cold (Or Is That Reversed?) by write4good
After a long night on patrol on Hoth, Vel is looking forward to a warm meal with her cousin. She's also hoping. Maybe. That at some point. She might see Kleya somewhere in the icy passageways. That would be enough to warm her up, she's sure. Meanwhile, Kleya has been avoiding Vel. As best she can. In the long months since Yavin. Because every time she sees Vel, her blood turns hot. And she finds it a little hard not to stare. What she really needs, is a cold shower.
Extra Special Care by write4good
After an injury, Kleya gets some of Vel's extra special care.
Slow Like Honey by Kiwi_in_space
Itās not fair how Vel can do this to her. Melt her into a puddle of desperation in just a matter of minutes. Play her body like an instrument - one that Vel has apparently made it her life mission to master the craft of. After years of going without this - years where Kleya was terrified to let herself admit how badly she needed to be properly touched, being with Vel is like a veritable feast.
That I Were a Glove Upon That Hand by JJPOR
1ABY: As the Galactic Civil War gathers pace, Captain Marki of Alliance Clandestine Operations has urgent business to discuss with a certain Colonel Sartha.
Aftertaste by rubikswriter
Theyāre not meant to be tender about this; thatās the arrangement. They come to each other because the war is ugly, because sleep is unreliable, because desire is simpler than grief, and bodies are sometimes easier to understand than words.
When the Sun Came up, I Was Looking at You by Kiwi_in_space
āJust this once,ā Kleya breathes. Sheās so close their foreheads are nearly touching. Vel nods, already desperate to get her mouth back on Kleyaās. / āJust this once,ā she agrees. 5 times they told themselves it was a means to an end, and the 1 time they realized it was the ending they both wanted.
Hands and the Heart by kasel
Vel lifts her right hand and hesitates for a moment before she catches the thin blanket Kleyaās draped over herself and pulls it higher to her chest. Then a sudden urge to keep the strands of Kleyaās hair away from her face strikes her. She wants to slide her hands under Kleyaās knees and shoulders and carry her to a proper bed so that she might sleep better.
A Moment Of Peace & A Glorious Sunrise by write4good
After a long night of celebration and revelry on Yavin, Kleya wakes Vel while the rest of the galaxy still seems to be sleeping. She has something she wants to share with Vel. And though Vel is grumpy, she's always happy to spend more time with Kleya.

Watched Andor season 1 for the first time like a month ago and I CANNOT STOP thinking about a cool little detail from Ferrix - the glove wall.
Several times kinda in the background we see people (mostly Brasso) grabbing or replacing unique pairs of gloves on this giant wall at the beginning of the shift. The gloves donāt seem to go on in order (filling the wall top to bottom, left to right, etc) and everyone seems to know exactly where their gloves go. Itās neat to see how many people seem to be at work or not at these given times based on how many gloves are on the wall.
In coal mines, miners would use little round brass tags etched or stamped with a number that would hang on a peg board. The miner would take their tag with them into the mine and replace it at the end of the shift, so at any time a foreman or crew chief could know from the top who was in the mine- very important in case of an accident. Im most familiar with them in Appalachian mines, but I know they were used in other parts of the world as well.
This is what Ferrixās glove wall feels like to me. With the added bonus of all the gloves being unique AND the community implication that itās safe to leave your unique pair of gloves in this communal place- theyāll be there when you come back.
Itās such a fabulous detail. Did you spot that in Ep 11 you can see a pair of the gloves hanging next to Maarvaās chair? Presumably they were her husbandās, Clemās, and sheād kept them there ever since his death š„ŗ
