Had not realized the extend of this until seeing this list.
Where the tragedy is made up and the parents don’t matter! Extra points for anyone who watched it happen. Let’s see here, Star Wars… *Luke Skywalker (twice orphaned) *Princess Leia (twice orphaned) *Han Solo *Lando Calrissian (okay with mom, dunno about dad) *Anakin Skywalker *Basically any Jedi (removed from family at 6 months old) *Rey (orphaned 1.5 times) *Kylo (no comment) *Poe Dameron (Tragic Disney Mother Death™) *Finn *Cassian Andor *Jyn Erso (twice orphaned) *Bodhi Rook *Baze Malbus *Chirrut Imwe *(So, everyone in Rogue One, basically) *Hera Syndulla (Tragic Disney Mother Death™ & problems with father; later resolved) *Sabine Wren (problems with entire family; later resolved) *Ezra Bridger (orphaned 1.5 times) *Zeb Orrelios *Boba Fett *Qi’Ra
Idk anyone know about Chewie?? I love Star Wars but what the FFFF. And these are only the movies and the one show I know. I’ve never even seen The Clone Wars, which I’m sure is also littered with orphans. Seriously, wassup wit dis???? Can’t ANYONE be happy?? Sad face. :(
Per the theme of day 3 of Rebelcaptain Week, here are my recs for some of my favourite au stories in no particular order, with au defined as outside canonverse.
only fools rush in by @andromeda3116 - Fake Dating! Christmas au. Complete. The fact that this fic is awesome is definitely old news by now, but it bears repeating that this is the fictional equivalent of a hot chocolate and the best hug and it’s reread potential is endless.
poco a poco by @canardroublard - Music school au. Complete. I mean, I love this fic so much I wrote a whole other one just to pay it tribute. It’s sweet and funny and sexy while never losing the rough edges that make us love these characters so much. Anytime I’d go back to check on a detail for the MITJ au, I’d end up rereading the whole thing because it’s so delightful.
find me by @lifeauthoredbymusic - Reunited exes/FBI au. Complete. Man, the author manages to pack eight years worth of romantic and sexual tension into this elevator and it is deeply satisfying when it’s resolved. I came back to this fic a bunch of times when writing the reunion scenes in my own exes au to try and capture some of its depth of feeling.
In the Shadows by @hurricanedancer - White Collar/FBI au. Complete. Just reread this last night and god it is GOOD. Great action scenes, wonderful dynamics throughout the ensemble and an achingly gorgeous relationship at its heart with pining that actually comes from a valid obstacle to the relationship rather than just obliviousness (though god knows I love that kind of pining too). It’s long enough to be deeply satisfying yet I still never want it to end.
the other a-team series by @birdhapley - Newsroom au. Complete. Holy lord, speaking of long, satisfying fics that break my heart when they end, these two fics are as close to perfect as any I’ve read. I have seriously shed tears over how good they are and they’re not even sad! Featuring: better Sorkin dialogue that Sorkin, great use of the ensemble, mutual competence kinks for days and just the best, realest confession scene that you’ve ever read. God I’m even tearing up just thinking about them. Fuck. They’re good, is what I’m saying.
The Softening Blows by @halflunar - College au. Complete. Man, I have waxed poetic about this fic many a time and for good reason. It paints its universe in colours so real and tangible you feel like you’re inside of it and perfectly captures the mix of giddiness and painful yearning of falling in love.
iron, salt, earth by @youareiron-andyouarestrong - Harry Potter au. WIP. I think about this fic a lot because it has such a fascinating and compelling universe, fleshed out even beyond HP canon. Within this universe is unfurling a truly thrilling plot combined with the heart-melting sweetness of the developing relationship between young Jyn and Cassian. I’m always desperate for each new chapter but what’s already written is more than worth a read or reread.
God, how crazy talented is this fandom, y’all? This doesn’t even scratch the surface of great fics out there but if I try and add more I’ll never be able to stop. Every author is a gift and I appreciate you all so much. Thank you for the literal years of enjoyment you’ve given me xxx
Still looking forward to the Andor series. But I’m still bitter K2S0 won’t be in it.

Some of my fav quotes from ANDOR 1.10 “One Way Out”
“They just killed a hundred men to keep them quiet. What would you call that?” // “I’d call that power.” // “Power? Power doesn’t panic.”
“I’d rather die trying to take them down than die giving them what they want.”
“I’d feel far more comfortable paying you for your trouble.” // “A drop of discomfort may be the price of doing business.”
“I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m pretending to be dead.” // “Don’t die until you put up a fight.”
Kino saying “If we can fight half as hard as we’ve been working, we will be home in no time.” followed by “I can’t swim” stop i-
“ONE WAY OUT! ONE WAY OUT! ONE WAY OUT!”
“Whatever happens now, we made it.”
Luthen’s speech about sacrifice. Literally. The. Entire. Speech.
