Summary
"The make-believe isn't working, is it? I'm not ok, and you're not going to be here forever. Luthen's not watching, but he could call any time. This could be the last time I see you, and this is how it is?"
He paled and his mouth turned downwards grimly. "We can't think like that."
Bix laughed, bitter and short. Maybe there was, after all, such a thing as too much discretion. How did this used to go, she wondered, when he came back to her full of promises to do better, when she tried to stand firm on her principles and he wheedled and begged his way back in, with his roguish smirk, his clothes smelling of Cavo's, his fingernails embedded with grease from the scrap yard and his tongue silver with new tricks.Please join me in pretending there's time for this in arc 2, and by 'this' I mean I saw the way Bix retreated from Cassian's touch when they were kissing about Varian Skye and I thought 'what if this was about the lasting impact of the sexual assault in the previous arc and not (also) about Luthen?' And then, me being me, I thought: what if this was also the perfect time to think about their relationship, and Brasso was a part of that?

"hey sshysmm, what fic are you going to post today?"
"the same fic we post every time, Andor fandom: bitey and bittersweet Brassian smut."
---
Written to fit between Cassian's first conversation with Maarva in 1.07 'Announcement', and his morning visit to Bix: dogged by guilt over Nemik's death and mixed feelings about the Aldhani job, Cassian stops by at the one place he doesn't expect to be judged or quizzed about where he's been.For distressednoise, who put the idea of scar nuzzling in my head.

Summary
Cassian: We decided we were thirsty, and you wanted to go to Cavo's. But I said that's no good because I owe too many people there money. So, Cavo's was out. But then you remembered you had a half bottle of nog stashed at home, so, we went there and drank ourselves to sleep.
Brasso: You insulted my choice of beverage. As host and provider, I was offended by this. You failed to gauge the depth of my irritation. You rose to make your point more vocally. I was helping you back into your chair when you fell.
-
We all had a good think about what 'helping a buddy back to his chair' involved, sure, didn't we? AU where the Corpos didn't catch up with Cassian before he got to his ship and he got off Morlana One in time to go drinking with Brasso. He's full of bitterness about his past, dwelling on Kerri and Kenari and the fuck-ups he should probably regret more than he does. All he needs is a distraction, all Brasso was expecting was an easy night of talk and drink - and instead he gets the most ungrateful, bad-tempered house-guest this side of the sun.
Yes, it's 25k of talking in circles and fucking. It's what I do. Blame robotboy for offering me the chance to play with this concept. -

Summary
Imagine Brasso is a van driver, taking deliveries round the UK for Sal and his reclamations company.
Imagine Brasso's on his way home after a long day's work and he gets a call from a friend in need.
distressednoise asked me to imagine these things, and it led to this :))) i.e. the same fic I write every time. Title inspired by lyrics from Elbow - An Audience with the Pope. CW for a smidge of setting typical homophobia, but don’t worry there’s also gratuitous insulting of Rupert Murdoch. -

Summary
His hand is warm and heavy on Brasso's flank. If he concentrates, Brasso can even feel Cass's pulse in the skinny wrist he's still holding onto with half-hearted strength.
"What is it you want?" he pushes back. There are always consequences with Cass. Always repercussions and unseen costs. And Brasso needs to know if he can afford to let this happen.
Cass nips his lower lip between his teeth and gives a little snort of amusement. "I'm just curious. You're not curious?" His fingers tighten, clutching folds of Brasso's vest, digging into the flesh beneath.
Curious barely covers it, Brasso thinks.

Cassian's not long back from a stint off-world, and things are volatile back home. It's lucky he's got an old friend he can rely on.

Summary
When Luthen said, “People won’t find it suspicious? Your coming out here often?” he had the distinct air of someone who’d done their research and knew exactly why two men with no apparent need to travel might end up at Ferrix station, and was waiting to see if Cassian was cowardly enough to squirm at it.

Summary
"It was a clean run," he says all too quickly, leaning back on the plasteel console, not meeting Brasso's eyes.
He's put as much space between them as possible, given the confines of the cabin, and Brasso closes it again with a stride. Bringing up a hand to cup the side of Cassian's jaw, the scruff of a week of unshaved stubble scratching at his palm, and tips Cassian's face up to his.
"Clean run?"

Life Under the Imperial Banner by invalidinthewilds
Fandom: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars: Rebels
09 May 2025
Summary
A series born out of my frustrations on canon and how it sometimes glosses over life within the Empire. In order for cohesion, all these stories a.) are set at some point when the Empire has power, b.) have Wedge Antilles appear or referenced in some way, and c.) are meant explore to things that either are implied to have happened in the Empire or are likely to have happened. Thus, by its very nature this series deals with sometimes heavy topics and reader discretion is advised. Stories are sorted by their timeline within Star Wars and not when I've actually published them. Every story can be read as a standalone, unless specified otherwise by me in the opening author's notes.

Summary
Cassian only distantly notes the pain. He's distracted by the ghost of sensation around his shoulder. The warm spot where Wedge's fingers squeezed is slowly chilling, and Cassian is having trouble thinking of anything else. It's been so fucking long since anyone's touched him casually. Not because Cassian is handling them for a mission. Not because they want something in return. But here Antilles is, easy and confident in Cassian's space without any ulterior motive. Cassian's skin aches.
He hates it. He doesn't want Wedge to stop.

Truths and Consequences by colleybri for sshysmm, distressednoise, koganesan
Fandoms: Andor (TV), Star Wars - All Media Types

Summary
Set over the three days of Ferrix's main holiday, Brasso and Cassian arrive in a situation Brasso never expected. He is forced to evaluate anew his feelings about and his relationship with the enigmatic young man who has returned from youth prison and the horrors of Mimban with - to put it mildly - a whole new range of issues to add to his existing trauma. Brasso wants to help. Brasso is kind and selfless. But Brasso is himself vulnerable and far less strong than his appearance and outward character might indicate. His decision to help Cassian in whatever way he can has long-term consequences for them both.
Set several months after Cassian's return from Sipo Youth prison and Mimban, and in the wake of his first romance - and subsequent break-up - with Bix.
