rebelcaptain week: day 2

↳ favourite trope: reusing deleted scenes prompt: leap

it’s a leap of faith – that’s all it is. cassian’s life is defined by the space between his boots leaving the ground and when his hands touch the wall. the stretch of instants where he doesn’t know if he’s going to make it to safety or fall to oblivion. when he can’t afford to hope. when he has to know.

his instincts, experience, skills, these are his footholds. he casts out a net, bound by the words planet-killer, and pulls in the names galen erso, saw gerrera, jyn erso. 

going through her file, backtracking through almost a decade of identities, cassian puts together a plan. a jump from wobani to jedha. it could work. it has to. one glance at this woman’s posture, one word from her mouth, and cassian knows this leap will be more faith than skill.

he hopes he hasn’t guessed wrong.

(he didn’t.)
