โ€œHowโ€™s the arm?โ€ Jyn inquires, desperate for distraction.

โ€œItโ€™s been better,โ€ he answers, lips twitching as he looks back at her. Heโ€™s still pale, the skin around his eyes dark and drawn. A crease from the pillow is stamped into his brow. His cheeks are still smeared with her blood. His forehead dews with sweat from what she can only assume is a low-grade fever. The four hour timer on the heater has long since run out so the room is far from sweat-inducing warmth. Their breath puffs soft and silvery between them.

Heโ€™s still a damn sight better than a few hours ago, and she canโ€™t help but feel a swell of pride at her field medicine skills and how useful theyโ€™ve proven to be. Somewhere under her lungs a tangle of barbs loosens as she comes to understand that he might just make it through this.

Without really thinking about it, Jyn reaches out a hand to feel his forehead, wanting to ensure that his fever is as harmless as she assumes, as she hopes.

Her breath sticks in her ribs, the whip of heat through her every nerve having little to do with the mild fever brewing under her hand when she touches him.

Cassianโ€™s large eyes watch her, intent and lovely and sparking in the odd, sunken glow of the lantern. She tries not to tremble under his frank scrutiny. But, as she brings her hand awayโ€” deliberately slow, and not as if heโ€™d scalded herโ€” he grabs up her retreating hand in his own and turns that intent gaze down to her bloodied, untended palm.

A second later, Jyn emerged from the shadows. She was wearing a devilish grin, gesturing towards the gun in his hand. โ€œYou know I love it when you point your pistol at me.โ€ He withheld a sigh and tucked his revolver back in its holster. โ€œBit of advice, donโ€™t sneak up on a man pissing in the woods.โ€ โ€œBut you never answered my question,โ€ she said as she approached. Cassian frowned. โ€œWhat question?โ€

There have been times where the struggle seemed impossible... Together, unrested, daunted by the lack of news or trailer, we have waitedโ€ฆand waitedโ€ฆ

But the day has finally come when all these edits and drawings, these metas and ficsโ€ฆwill help the Andor fandom countdown to the Season 2 premiere!

Sunday, April 6th to Thursday, 17th (ahead of all the Star Wars Celebration excitement) @andorappreciation will be hosting 12 Days of Andor: a fandom-wide event celebrating our resilient, creative, talented community and the long-anticipated return of our favorite rebellious show.

Prompts

April 6th, Day One: Networks Either Change or Die Dive into the interconnectedness of this complex narrative. Find the ties that bind characters, factions, and plots. Parallels, theses, and themesโ€ฆ obvious or unhinged, make your case!ย  Alternate Prompts: Symbolism || Elements
April 7th, Day Two: Everyone Has Their Own Rebellion Themes, politics, messaging--there were many reasons for Andorโ€™s success, but chief among them was what the show had to say, both about our world and the world of Star Wars. Examine Nemikโ€™s Manifesto, or offer your own treatise on Luthenโ€™s methodology, but whatever you do, donโ€™t lose your nerve! Alternate Prompts: Underrated Quotes/Dialogue || Sacrifice
April 8th, Day Three: I Show You the Stone in My Hand, You'll Miss the Knife at Your Throat Mon Mothma was speaking for more than just herself hereโ€“ dualities and split identities are a throughline in Andor. Whether itโ€™s Vel Sartha playing as the spoiled rich girl or Lonnie Jung literally posing as a double agent within the ISB, explore the world of deception and the webs of lies that hold the Rebellion and the Empire together. Alternate Prompts: Underrated Scenes || Ambiguity
April 9th, Day Four: Kill Me, Or Take Me In The last words of the first season, uttered by the showโ€™s protagonist. With this ominous bargain, we were all left to speculate wildly about the upcoming second and final season. Hereโ€™s your chance to share those theories and predictions, from the most sound hypothesis to the crackiest wish fulfillment!ย  Alternate Prompts: Penultimate Moments || Death
April 10th, Day Five: They Don't Even Think About Us But we bet you do right? Everyone has their own rebellion, yes, but everyone also has their very own Glup Shitto. Are you a Time Grappler Stan? A Blue Noodle boy? Show your love for your Andor Shittos!ย  Alternate Prompts: Underrated Side Characters || Nature
April 11th, Day Six: That's Just Love...Nothing You Can Do About That Just like with every good story, the relationships among the characters are what draw us in and keep us hooked. Whether itโ€™s a fraught love story or a complex connection between mother and son, Andor is rife with intricate interpersonal relations and, ultimately, a hell of a lot of love. Share your feelings about the relationships you find most compelling!ย  Alternate Prompts: Doomed by the Narrative || Echoes
April 12th, Day Seven: We Are Healthcare Providers Are you fascinated by the crushing bureaucracy of the ISB? The ponderous gears of the Imperial war machine? Do you simply love Dedra Meero and think she's neat? Share your thoughts about the Empire and the unique way that Andor explores the banality of evil! Alternate Prompts: Character Arcs || Morality
April 13th, Day Eight: "Pilgrim" Are you the biggest Nicolas Britell fan ever? Have you memorized every interview with Denise Gough? Have you watched everything Diego Luna is in? Show your appreciation for the incredible cast and crew that make this show come to life!ย  Alternate Prompts: Favorite Quotes about the show || Behind the Scenes
April 14th, Day Nine: Pockets, Piping, Some Lightโ€ฆ Tailoring From the rich costumes to the lavish sets, Andor gave us some truly sumptuous designs to sink our teeth into. Explore the details of costumes, sets or both!ย  Alternate Prompt: Hidden Details || Colors
April 15th, Day Ten: Peezosโ€ฆ The Greenie Green Ones Run up to Arkieโ€™s and pick up some shit posts! Just make sure you donโ€™t look like โ€˜youโ€™re a part of itโ€™. Alternate Prompts: Favorites (episodes, characters, etc) || Humor
April 16th, Day Eleven: Youโ€™re My Ideal Reader Have a fic that you just love? A gifset that you stare at until your eyes water? A manifesto with not enough circulation (in your opinion)? Spread the love and recommend your favorite metas, edits, fan art, podcasts, gif sets, fics, whatever youโ€™d like!ย  Alternate Prompt: Alternate Universe || Time
April 17th, Day Twelve: ONE WAY OUT!ย  Youโ€™re free! Hopefully you can swim! AKA: Dealer's choice || Free Day

I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.
