(where to?) to the stars (rebelcaptain, everybody lives, undercover mission fic, 5.6k)

*is extremely nervous about this* so, it’s may 4th and i had the great honor to gift @skitzofreak. this is my first time writing in-universe, it’s also my first attempt at a mission fic and it’s also my longest fic to date. a lot of firsts this time. 😀 anyways, i hope you like it, dear! thanks for all your amazing fics, your great world-building, your wonderful characterization – you’re a huge inspiration!

shout out to my lovely friend @thestarbirdfromtheashes for encouraging me throughout the last month, @riderunlove and @melanoradrood for bouncing off ideas and @gloriouswhisperstyphoon for helping my out with jyn’s hair accessories. ♥

His eyes
wandered to her collar, following the line of her dress downwards to where her
kyber crystal usually sat on her chest – and thought about how their lives had
almost ended on a beach under a much brighter sky and at the hand of a much deadlier
star. Did she believe they would have ended in other people’s stories about the
night sky? Some tragic story of heroism and hope to pass onto the next
generation?

It’s
just a standard mission – a fancy dinner party and a lot of superficial people
and conversations. It’s something Cassian has done a million times with a
million different partners. Except this time, Jyn’s there to do business while
Cassian has to step back and look pretty. And while the objective might be easy,
whatever is going on between them isn’t at all.
