Who Keeps Your Flame, Who Tells Your Story?

Summary:

"Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes, and we keep living anyway, we rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes."

Interconnected one-shots inspired by the lyrics of Hamilton, mostly set after Scarif. Jyn and Cassian deal with the consequences of surviving. Everyone Lives AU. **Rating change on 1/12

Notes:

This is the first thing I've written in a very long time, but I loved Rogue One and have been thinking about it a lot since I saw it on opening day. My Hamilton obsession merged with this new obsession and inspired me to write again. Not necessarily inspired by the plot of Hamilton, but by certain lines/lyrics that resonated with me. I'm not a Star Wars expert by any means, so I apologize in advance for any errors.

Feedback/comments are very much appreciated!

Chapter 1: Burn

Summary:

"You've torn it all apart
I'm watching it
Burn."

Notes:

Set on the flight back from Eadu.

Chapter Text

Her anger is so overwhelming that he can feel it radiating toward him, heat from a raging fire. She sits on the floor, every muscle tight and contracted, legs and knees drawn tensely into her body. She stares at the floor as though she’s trying to ignite it on fire with her faze. Her jaw is clenched, and he’s not even quite sure if she’s blinked once. She hasn’t shown any sign that she can hear or feel anything around her, not the hushed conversations, not the movement of the ship. He turns away, but still he feels it, slowly filling the air and consuming him.

When they land, she pushes herself off of the ground, quickly turning and exiting as soon as the door opens. There is no elegance or caution in her movement. She doesn’t look at back at him. But without even a glance, he knows what she’s thinking.

She hopes that he burns.
