Owl Hoot Trail - for @spookyjyn SURPISEEEEE!! it's moi, your beloved Santa 🤶

“I have a job,” she said. “And I need the bettermost sharpshooter I know.” He glanced down at the headline again. “What’s the job?” OR, Jyn and Cassian are 19th century outlaws. And also ex-lovers.

takes place vaguely in my modern au universe that i've written a few stories about, but stands on its own! microfic list!

Lately, their schedules seem to just miss each other, with Cassian returning to the apartment shortly after Jyn has left it, and vice versa. They're both working long hours — him on the restaurant and her to try to finish her degree — and this is just the nature of that. Until she'd come into his life a little over a year ago, he'd forgotten what it had been like to miss someone, which makes this ships passing in the night routine feel like that much more of a hole in his life.

He worries about her, too, because she doesn't take a lot of time to do things for herself when she's busy — particularly eat well. It's not unusual for him to find wrappers to granola bars or empty containers of microwavable macaroni and cheese strewn on the counter when he comes home, all Jyn's questionable definition of comfort food.

As soon as they both have a night off, he's determined to fix that, at least in whatever small way he can.

When he's spent most of his day dealing with vendors, he doesn't mind being in the kitchen boiling penne and sautéing vegetables — especially if it means that Jyn will eat a real meal for once in her life, instead of vaguely imitate the behavior of a raccoon. Ideally, he would've had it completely ready before she'd ever stepped through the door, but it'd taken longer to assemble all his ingredients than he would've liked; by the time he hears her stomp inside like she does before tossing her coat away and kicking off her boots, there are still a lot of steps to be done.

She crosses into the kitchen, and without even seeing her face, he can practically hear her brows knit together. "What's this?"

Focused on the task at hand (carefully stirring the boiling pasta), Cassian barely glances up. "Something that doesn't come out of a microwave."

Out of the corner of his eye, he notices a brief lift of her brow as she appears to consider, but no further comment beyond that. Instead, she finds herself an empty spot on the counter close to the stove and hoists herself up onto it, watching as he continues to prepare the pasta.

will gladly accept your rose ebby <33333333

a yet untitled cracky au that i am having a great time picking at:

Cassian loses most of his will to live at this news and leans forward, elbows on his knees and head in his hands. He suppresses the groan that floats up from his belly and presses the flats of his fingers into his closed eyes until he sees stars. Beside him, his associate editor Kay reaches over a lanky arm to pat him on his back. Sarcastically, of course.

“What is this fucking show called again?” Cassian grumbles. Draven consults the packet on his desk. Cassian looks up just in time to see him scoff as he throws it back on the blotter and smiles at him grimly. “Very creative,” he mutters, “‘Love Is Blind’.”

Thank you for the Bachelor-style ask! 😄 In return, here's a bit from the noir AU that's still just vibes at the moment but refuses to leave me alone:

“Usually, my clients make an appointment.”

for Jyn:

how I feel about this character: baby girl who deserves better from the SW fandom!!

all the people I ship romantically with this character: again, I can only list Cassian. listen they're soulmates, there's nobody else!! they belong together <3 although I like Maia as her ex and first love, but I don't ship it exactly

my non-romantic OTP for this character: literally anybody from the Rogue One crew. Bodhi is my favorite in fanon, just because I like the kind of friendship I think they would have had but didn't get the chance to, but in canon, I think I have to go with Kay again. I love their antagonism turned begrudging affection. also Saw!

my unpopular opinion about this character: listen let me preface by saying I love undercover at a ball in a fancy dress fics, I have read it and written it and would do again, but do I think it's a little OOC for Jyn? kinda. I just can't see her being all charming and demure and flirting with marks. she's not seductive, she's not flirty. as soon as an Imp puts his hands on her, she's punching him. she would do it if Cassian needed her, but this undercover as an elite thing isn't really one of her skillsets imo

one thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: for the most part I'm honestly satisfied with her character arc. other than the obvious "I wish she lived" but even then, I do think the ending was perfect. I guess I wish there was more time with her as with the rest of Rogue One. I wish some of her scenes weren't deleted. give us an animated version of Rogue One that fills in the missing moments!!

and yes, I have seen it! although it's been years so apologies, my thoughts aren't gonna be too extensive 😭 but for Edward:

how I feel about this character: he was funny, and I genuinely enjoyed him as a protagonist, but I will admit I haven't really thought about him beyond finishing the show

all the people I ship romantically with this character: I thought he and Winry were cute, but in a casual way, like I wasn't too invested

my non-romantic OTP for this character: I mean it's gotta be Al! as I mentioned, I love a sibling dynamic 💜 shoutout to Roy though

my unpopular opinion about this character: I know nothing about the fandom so I actually don't know what's popular and not 😭
