it's great to have this chance to fail [Podfic]
podfic_lover
Summary:
Podfic of 'it's great to have this chance to fail' by notquiteaghost:
"You are not shooting me."There's a large crack running down the droid's torso, exposing wires and leaking some mechanical fluid. There's a hole, the familiar round and charred hole left by blasterfire, in its left shoulder. One of its arms is lying on the floor on the other side of the room.
"You're not a threat," Cassian finds himself saying. He should be leaving, should have got the hell out of there as soon as the droid showed signs of life - if the droid is functional enough for speech it's functional enough to alert its allies - but something is keeping him rooted to the spot.
That feeling, maybe. Trusting his gut hasn't got him killed yet.
In which Cassian rescues a broken Imperial droid, or maybe an Imperial droid rescues a broken Cassian. It's somewhat hard to tell.
Notes:
- For Shmaylor.
- Inspired by it's great to have this chance to fail by notquiteaghost
Podficcers Note:
Dear Shmaylor,
Thank you for introducing me to this fantastic and thought-provoking story via your bookmarks.
Author´s Notes:
the novelisation confirms that cassian reprogrammed k2 & while i recognise that they made that decision ive elected to completely ignore it. this is an origin story for them that makes more sense with cassian’s character cuz why would a man who can reprogram a complex enemy droid be working in intelligence… he’s a spy not a computers expert.
title is from ‘monsters get slain’ by ghost mice (i wholeheartedly recommend listening to that song & thinking about k2 for a cool fun time). shoutout to aden & scarlett for everything
WARNINGS: for suicidal ideation; pov character having an on-screen panic attack; the generic shitty imperial occupation background stuff; i am not kidding cassian Has PTSD its a central theme he has a bucket ton of issues & they are v much addressed. it gets heavy! be safe!
