its just the place that changes

I’m still working my way through the Quantagram prompts, and getting ever closer to my word count goal for the year. This one doesn’t come from an inbox prompt (it’s actually a bit older), but it’s based heavily on a request from @moranice-solvej: Jyn and Cassian after the war. I tried to answer it once before, and kind of failed, but guess what? I’ve tried again – and this time, I have ALSO failed. But I got closer.

Here it is.

“The Reconstruction Committee met again this morning,” Cassian tells
her, offhand, disinterested. As if it has nothing to do with them. As if
her whole life isn’t hanging in the balance. “They voted to dissolve
and reform Alliance Intelligence. It’s now the New Republic Intelligence
Service. Senator Organa has agreed, along with all the other former
officers of the Alliance’s leadership, to dissolve any black ops units
assigned to her staff under wartime conditions.”

It happened, Saw grates in her head. It happened. Face it.
