mosylu: (rebelcaptain 2)
This was written for [tumblr.com profile] 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.
