Favourite Couple Who No One Really Knows Or Cares About (but should):

I rewatched Rogue One recently and was reminded of how good the film is. Moreover, there is so much unexplored between Jyn and Cassian, so I found myself into a deep dive into #rebelcaptain. I’m bummed there aren’t more modern AUs with these two. If you have modern AU recs, please suggest them!!!

Here are some of the fics I’ve enjoyed, all set that everyone lives/nobody dies.

Five Times Cassian Sees Jyn Sleeping With Her Blaster And One Time He Doesn’t by SuchStuffAsDreamsAreMadeOn (T, 8k, canonverse) — It’s his blaster, of course.  A quick search of his bags had revealed that after he had agreed – impossibly – to let her keep it, and yet, in the days, weeks, and months that followed Cassian was never once sorry for his decision.  He would never admit it to himself but, despite all of K2’s nagging, he was glad that a part of him would always be there to protect her.

a study in meanings (part of the semantics series) by katsumi (T, 1.5k, canonverse) — “You are sleeping with Jyn,” K2 announces out of nowhere, and Cassian almost chokes. Or: Unfortunately for Cassian, K2 doesn't really get semantics. (My favorite fluff series!!!)

people think the strangest things by slugmutt (M, 4k, canonverse) — six times people assume Jyn and Cassian are married.

flight lessons by hapan (M, 1k, canonverse) — “One hundred percent of the crashes I have experienced involved you, Jyn Erso.” K2 informs her pleasantly. “Given that no other flight experience I've been involved in has experienced an abrupt descent, I can only conclude that you - oh. You're bleeding." Or, Jyn is slightly impaled and Cassian sees to her wound. Emotions are had.

ah, ah, got a little paycheck (you’ve got big plans, you’ve gotta move) by youareiron_andyouarestrong (T, 5k, canonverse) — For someone whose head barely reaches the top of his shoulder, Jyn Erso gets into a lot of fights.

you give me something by skitzofreak (E, 112k, canonverse) — In a slightly different universe, Jyn gets the chance to see the Holy City before the Empire strips it bare. As fate (or the Force) would have it, she won't see it alone.

you’ve got a second chance, you could go home (part of the Cassian Andor’s Guide to Cohabitation series) by brahe (G, 2k, canonverse) — They somehow, miraculously, survive the beach. They survive long enough to make it back to the base, and in the process, they make it home, too. They end up in the infirmary, and there's so many other more beautiful places Cassian wants to show her now that she's going to stick around, but for now he'll take what he can get, and spending his days and nights with her pressed against his side seems to be pretty good.

lift your open hand by skitzofreak (M, 7k, canonverse) — five kisses shared between Jyn and Cassian.

A Thousand Times Between Our Eyes by skitzofreak (T, 27k, canonverse) — His left hand was still clamped tightly on the back of her jacket (his jacket), but his right hand reached up and pushed at a thick lock of her hair as it drifted across her face. We’re okay, his eyes told her. We’re going to make it.
