For the last three or four weeks, I've missed my regular knit night. Work, family obligations, etc. At least one Thursday, everyone else pooped out. We texted and kept in touch that way, but it's summer and everyone's got things going on right now.

I didn't realize how badly I'd been missing actual facetime (real facetime, not phone Facetime) until I was driving home from an evening shift where I would have missed it again, got to the intersection where the restaurant is that we all meet, and pulled in with 10 minutes to closing. All told I spent less than half an hour with two of my friends and I didn't even have my knitting, but it made up for the whole sucky day.

Female friends are so important, y'all.

It's been awhile since I did one of these. Not because I'm not reading, but because I kept putting it off. But it's been a month now! I'm going to skip the art recs this time around, not because I didn't see any good art, but because my fic list is going to be quite long enough. In fact, it's so long that I'm splitting this into two parts. Watch for the next part sometime this week, because I'm realistic.

Star Wars

Polaris by skitzofreakIvaylo
This is a nifty partnership - Ivaylo drew a piece of art and skitzofreak wrote a story to go with it. Or maybe the other way around? Regardless, this particular entry in the series has Jyn revealing some of the scars she carries to Cassian, and his pitch-perfect reaction. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Untitled Rebelcaptain One-Shot by cats-and-metersticks
Cassian discovers that Jyn has been semi-legally fighting the other pilots. He's pretty sure she shouldn't be doing that, but he's too busy being awed and a little turned on. Besides, who's going to tell Jyn Erso she can't fight whoever she wants? Rebelcaptain, one-shot

A Little Rebellion (now and then) by skitzofreak
Follows Jyn through five different parts of her life, including the time span of the movie and right after, through the lens of various rebellions big and small that reveal who she is and what's important to her. Jyn-centic with a touch of Rebelcaptain, 10k

Written for an anonymous Tumblr prompter who asked for "A kiss because I have literally been watching you all night and I can’t take anymore + Killervibe? ❤️"

All Dressed Up (and no place to go)

The breach whiffed closed and they both staggered toward her couch. “Ughhhhhh,” Cisco groaned, dropping his tux jacket and collapsing onto the cushions. “What a night.”

Caitlin was holding her shoes, and tossed them away without looking to see where they landed. “Why do they never come quietly,” she asked the ceiling. “If they’d just come quietly, we all could have been home three hours ago.”

“And that dress might not be torn.”

She made a mournful face. “I was trying not to think about that.” She looked down at the ripped seam that flapped sadly open, revealing a stretch of thigh. “I really like this dress, too.” She tugged at the ripped edges, turning them to inspect the damage.

“So?” he asked after a moment. “Is the patient going to make it?”

She glanced up at him, the sparkle in her eye that preceded one of her very, very bad jokes. “Well, I think it’ll require stitches.”  

He busted out laughing, and she laughed with him, much harder than the terrible joke deserved, but what they needed after their evening.

“God, what a night,” he sighed when they’d laughed themselves breathless, leaning into each other for support. “Why do we never get prettied up and go out unless we’re undercover?”

For hedgiwithapen  on Tumblr, who asked me for a story involving “comfort after nightmare”

The Important Part

The cortex was 3 am quiet, the only sounds the clicking of her computer keys and the soft, deep breathing of the man in the bed. Caitlin had kicked off her shoes and pulled her hair into a loose braid to keep it out of her way as she worked, drinking lukewarm coffee to keep herself awake.

Not that what she was working on was so very important. Her priority, more than usual, was her patient.

The first sound of distress brought her up out of her chair and over to the bed. “Cisco,” she said. “Cisco, it’s okay. Can you hear me? Wake up. It’s okay. You’re dreaming.”

They’d spent the past week in cross-dimensional pursuit of a meta who used fear toxin on his victims. The Scarecrow was safely in Iron Heights now, but Cisco had gotten a faceful of the stuff. Even though they had an antidote on hand, Batwoman had said regretfully that the aftereffects would linger for about a day.

The aftereffects proved to be intense drowsiness, and when Cisco did fall asleep, awful nightmares.

Happy end of the weekend, y'all! Here's something to make the beginning of your week a little better. This seems to be an untitled week - very few titles that I could find in my recs. But the links all work and that's what's important, right?

The Flash

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by agentmarymargaretskitz 
Although as the author admits, it's a little more of a Ralph-and-Cisco brotp moment. Ralph screws up a fairly important ring retrieval, and now Cisco has to go get it himself, with the added complication that Caitlin (not knowing it's her ring that got stolen) has invited herself and Killer Frost along. Would love to read more of this. Killervibe, one-shot

Untitled Killervibe AU by thatkillervibe 
As he is keeping guard, Cisco finds his thoughts interrupted by Caitlin, bringing out a blanket and hot drink. He protests that he doesn't need them, but they're for her while she keeps him company. The setting is a metaphobic world where they're all in danger, and this is another one I'd love to see more of. Killervibe, one-shot.

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by thatkillervibe 
Cisco is planning on taking the cure, but he's putting it off until the last possible moment. Then Caitlin says something that makes him decide not to take it at all. Killervibe, one-shot

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by thatkillervibe 
Cisco and Caitlin finds themselves with each others' powers, and struggle to control them - Cisco especially. But one particular thought helps him calm down. Killervibe, one-shot.

Star Wars

Untitled Jyn-Centric One-Shot by skitzofreak 
Some of Jyn's experiences with her found family being there for her, with special attention to Cassian's tenderness. Lovely. Rebelcaptain, one-shot.

Untitled Rebelcaptain One-Shot by skitzofreak 
Inspired by the included art from crazy-fruit ! After the destruction of the Death Star, Jyn feels lost in the hustle and bustle of the Rebellion, until Cassian turns up, asking her to stay. The confusion of an army at war and how alone Jyn feels is particularly well rendered. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Fur-Baby Reunion by imsfire 
Jyn comes home to Cassian and the trouble-making tooka cat they've adopted together. I do love a good reunion fic. This kitty is the kitty version of Jyn, and it's just right. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Untitled Rebelcaptain One-Shot by skitzofreak 
On a mission, Cassian gets disoriented from injury and doesn't recognize either Jyn or Bodhi as friends. With him fighting like a tiger as they try to help, he calms down only when he catches hold of Jyn's precious kyber crystal. I'm clutching my heart all over again. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Untitled Rogue One Art bypentapoda
Our favorite rebels all gathered together for a group shot. Everyone's expression is so spot on! Gen, art

Untitled Rebelcaptain Art by milady-666 
Two illustrations of the elevator scene with the kiss we all KNOW happened. Or anyway it should have. If you'll excuse me I have to go sob into my pillow. Rebelcaptain, art

Untitled Rebelcaptain Art by crazy-fruit 
Three sequential pieces with Jyn pulling Cassian in for a kiss by means of her scarf. Flirty and sexy. Rebelcaptain, art

May the Force be With You by kammilu 
Rey smiles at us from under her hood, sweet and a little mischievous. Gen, art

A Thousand Generations Live in You Now by melty-artz 
The moment from the trailer where Rey takes off running. The ferocious, teeth-bared look on her face delights me. Gen, art

It's Not a Problem if You Don't Look Up by jackalhands 
Yowza. Jyn and Cassian walk through the Ring of Kafrene, which arcs over their heads and messes with yours as you try to figure out what exactly the horizon is doing. Rebelcaptain, art

This was written for captainandors on Tumblr. Happy May the 4th! They asked for “when the two characters who don’t realize they’re in love are in a fight and one of them shouts “BECAUSE IM IN LOVE WITH YOU” and they’re both like wait”

Also, I’ve never read Rebel Rising, so please excuse any differences between that and this.

What’s Said Can’t Be Unsaid

Jyn woke in darkness.

For a moment, she was eight years old again, crying and trembling in the dark, haunted by the hours-old visions of her mama falling and her papa taken away by the man in white …

No. No, that was years ago. It was far behind her. She had woken in the dark before. She was waiting for Saw to come back and retrieve her. It shouldn’t be too much longer.

Although she’d been saying that to herself for the last several hours …

She put out a hand, patting around herself until her fingertips brushed the glass of her ‘pad’s screen. She pulled it toward herself and switched it on to check the time.

Eighteen hours, thirty-two minutes since Saw had left the message for her to wait here, in this hidey-hole.

The truth washed over her in a cold wave. He wasn’t coming back.

He’d left her here, on Tamsye Prime, with a battered weapon and an elderly datapad and the clothes on her back, and he’d … he’d just left.

She was alone.

The datapad’s screen went black again, and the dark closed in around her. “But,” she said into it. “But I kept up.


Six Years Later

They staggered up the gangplank together, Cassian shouting out, "Bodhi, get us out of here!” He angled toward the bench and shifted so Jyn could sit down, not missing the way she winced as she settled into place.

He reached for the medkit in the locker above his head, and her face went from wincing to stony. “I’ve got it,” she snapped at him, pulling the medkit out of his hands. “I’m fine.” She turned away from him, tugging her shirt up and craning her neck to peer at her midsection.

Cassian gritted his teeth. She was always like this when she got hurt. Worse when he turned back for her or waited for her. It was massively frustrating, when all he wanted to do was make sure she was all right.

Which he would for any one of his team, of course he would.

It was just that it was … different with Jyn.

I just felt the need for smutty smut smut. And sexy sexy tropes.

Who Am I to Disagree

The last thing Cisco did before turning in was to call Caitlin.

“Hey,” she said when she answered the phone. “Are you back in Central City? Did you go right home? I wouldn’t blame you, it’s awfully late.”

“No and no,” he said, turning his music down and twirling his chair so she could see the Tannhauser lab spinning along in his background. “Just wanted to let you know I’m sleeping up here tonight. There’s a test that I need to check at fuck o'clock in the morning.”

She nodded. In addition to the lab, there were living quarters here. Well of course, there had to be - Snow Job hadn’t spent all his time pretending to create a cure for himself. Since starting work on their own cure, they’d each spent their fair share of nights in this lab, under piles of blankets.

“We might cross paths tomorrow morning,” she said. “I’m using the gidget and coming up there first thing with some more samples.”

“It’s not a - ” he started, and gave up. Caitlin thought interpolator was a nonsense word for the device that created breaches without his help, and called it everything but that just to tease him. “Okay, fine. See you then.”

She grinned at him. “Play your cards right and I might bring you waffles.”

“You do know the way to my heart,” he said. “You’re hitting the hay soon, too, right? No all nighters, now.”

“I’m just about to change for bed,” she said.

“Okay. Sweet dreams.”

“You too.”

Today the after-school crowd were so hyped up and zooey that one of my habitual loud talkers (this kid has a serious future as a color commentator because he has to narrate everything that happens to him in Fortnite for the benefit of the entire library) came in and said, "Wow, miss, it's noisy in here."

Me (resisting with all my might the temptation to say, "and you just got here!"): "Mmmmhm, sure is."

I learned that there was an EpIX trailer over my lunch hour (thanks, ladytharen ! Sorry for squeeing all over your comments). So after watching it through a few times and flailing more than somewhat, I made sure to show it to some of our after-school kids.

12-year-old: "Ohhhhh cooooool" *goes on a long ramble about the various things he would have liked to see throughout the Star Wars universe, up to and including evil Yoda*

8-year-old: "wait who is Skywalker?" Conversation drifts off to the point where he's very seriously telling me that the way to make a lightsaber is to get a stick and leave it on top of a volcano for 30 days (very specific on that) and then come back for it. I resisted the temptation to tell him that's how you get a Darth Vader.

The only discourse worth engaging in, TBH.

Hello, I am back! And I have two weeks' worth of recs to fill your reading page with. Onward, fandom trash!

The Flash

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by purple-and-red-ribbons
When Cisco blurts out his feelings, Caitlin pushes him away, to his horror and consternation. I like the way this gets into some of her perfectly reasonable fears, considering what's happened to her last few relationships. Killervibe, one-shot

No Kinder Sign by MoonlightShines
After she's been hurt, Cisco waits for Caitlin to wake up. You know that passage of Scripture that always gets read at weddings: "love is patient, love is kind," etc? Yeah . . . this. Killervibe, one-shot

And the Oscar Goes To . . . by sssssssim
Look, all you need to know is that this is an AU where Cisco is a movie star and Caitlin directs movies and they're both part of the Marvel movie machine and they become friends and present at the Oscars together and then mooorrrrrrre . . . Killervibe, Hollywood AU, 18k

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by briarsrosie 
When he gets to the afterlife, Cisco discovers Caitlin waiting for him, and knows for sure it's the good place. Killervibe, one-shot

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by thatkillervibe 
Caitlin knows who she wants to be with. Hint: it's not the guy she left in the middle of the date, it's the guy who tells her "I want you to be happy." Killervibe, one-shot

Violet Hill by sssssssim 
Caitlin convinces Cisco not to take the metacure by sharing how she would feel without him at Star Labs. When they go to karaoke together, he realizes that there's something else she has to tell him. Killervibe, one-shot

Star Wars

Untitled Rebelcaptain One-shot by skitzofreak
After a long day, Jyn attempts to get Cassian to relax. He has some thoughts of his own on that topic. They know each other so very well in this, down to Jyn carefully picking out the level of painkiller that he'll accept. Rebelcaptain, one-shot, NSFW

You Said Something by alp
Cassian's about to leave on a long-term assignment. This may be the last chance Jyn has to say what she's feeling. But she doesn't have the words. Romantic and awkward, just the way I like these two. Rebelcaptain, one-shot, NSFW

She Fell From Your Hands and Left Fire in Your Heart by mollivanders 
Undercover as a couple . . . that's really all you needed to know, isn't it? Oh, okay, here's more. Undercover as a couple, Cassian and Jyn both flounder around about their own feelings without knowing the other feels the same way. BEST KIND. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

If All my Words are Gone (to waste away in the unknown) by mollivanders 
Jyn and Cassian are reunited after a mission, and Jyn revels in the new and novel sensation of having someone to come home to. Rebelcaptain, one-shot
(Author is also on DW! mollivanders )

Untitled Jyn-Centric One-Shot by skitzofreak 
Jyn finds her mother's grave listed in the Imperial records, and struggles with the feelings that bubble up as a result. Some rebelcaptain, but mostly Jyn-focused, one-shot

Time Out by lousysharkbutt
This made me laugh out loud. Kylo's clearly pouting even though you can't really see his face, and Leia has just had Enough of This, Young Man. Although as the artist accurately notes, there's not enough time in the universe for all the time-outs he deserves. Gen, art

Here With You by autodrive
Young Baze and Chirrut are grinning at each other, somehow flirting without saying a single word. Link goes to my reblog of this because the artist's Tumblr was doing something strange. Spiritassassin, art

Crossing the Cempasúchil Bridge by plays-with-shadows 
A Rogue One/Coco mashup where our beloved team is joyfully crossing to the afterlife, together. I'm not crying, you're crying. Gen, art

Leia and Rey by arbutus-blossoms 
An animated piece with Leia brushing Rey's hair. I love the sense of peace and connection for these two women who've had so little of either. Gen, art

And if you were wanting a brand-new Tumblr to follow, I urge you to check out theartof-rebelcaptain. Their raison d'etre (am I using that correctly?) is to reblog and comment on all the rebelcap art they find. They'll take submissions and recommendations from followers, too!
