Happy end of the weekend, y'all! Here's something to make the beginning of your week a little better. This seems to be an untitled week - very few titles that I could find in my recs. But the links all work and that's what's important, right?

The Flash

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by agentmarymargaretskitz 
Although as the author admits, it's a little more of a Ralph-and-Cisco brotp moment. Ralph screws up a fairly important ring retrieval, and now Cisco has to go get it himself, with the added complication that Caitlin (not knowing it's her ring that got stolen) has invited herself and Killer Frost along. Would love to read more of this. Killervibe, one-shot

Untitled Killervibe AU by thatkillervibe 
As he is keeping guard, Cisco finds his thoughts interrupted by Caitlin, bringing out a blanket and hot drink. He protests that he doesn't need them, but they're for her while she keeps him company. The setting is a metaphobic world where they're all in danger, and this is another one I'd love to see more of. Killervibe, one-shot.

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by thatkillervibe 
Cisco is planning on taking the cure, but he's putting it off until the last possible moment. Then Caitlin says something that makes him decide not to take it at all. Killervibe, one-shot

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by thatkillervibe 
Cisco and Caitlin finds themselves with each others' powers, and struggle to control them - Cisco especially. But one particular thought helps him calm down. Killervibe, one-shot.

Star Wars

Untitled Jyn-Centric One-Shot by skitzofreak 
Some of Jyn's experiences with her found family being there for her, with special attention to Cassian's tenderness. Lovely. Rebelcaptain, one-shot.

Untitled Rebelcaptain One-Shot by skitzofreak 
Inspired by the included art from crazy-fruit ! After the destruction of the Death Star, Jyn feels lost in the hustle and bustle of the Rebellion, until Cassian turns up, asking her to stay. The confusion of an army at war and how alone Jyn feels is particularly well rendered. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Fur-Baby Reunion by imsfire 
Jyn comes home to Cassian and the trouble-making tooka cat they've adopted together. I do love a good reunion fic. This kitty is the kitty version of Jyn, and it's just right. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Untitled Rebelcaptain One-Shot by skitzofreak 
On a mission, Cassian gets disoriented from injury and doesn't recognize either Jyn or Bodhi as friends. With him fighting like a tiger as they try to help, he calms down only when he catches hold of Jyn's precious kyber crystal. I'm clutching my heart all over again. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Untitled Rogue One Art bypentapoda
Our favorite rebels all gathered together for a group shot. Everyone's expression is so spot on! Gen, art

Untitled Rebelcaptain Art by milady-666 
Two illustrations of the elevator scene with the kiss we all KNOW happened. Or anyway it should have. If you'll excuse me I have to go sob into my pillow. Rebelcaptain, art

Untitled Rebelcaptain Art by crazy-fruit 
Three sequential pieces with Jyn pulling Cassian in for a kiss by means of her scarf. Flirty and sexy. Rebelcaptain, art

May the Force be With You by kammilu 
Rey smiles at us from under her hood, sweet and a little mischievous. Gen, art

A Thousand Generations Live in You Now by melty-artz 
The moment from the trailer where Rey takes off running. The ferocious, teeth-bared look on her face delights me. Gen, art

It's Not a Problem if You Don't Look Up by jackalhands 
Yowza. Jyn and Cassian walk through the Ring of Kafrene, which arcs over their heads and messes with yours as you try to figure out what exactly the horizon is doing. Rebelcaptain, art

Look, a weekly rec post that's only a week after the previous one! This one's going to be art-heavy because I was pretty bad at queuing up fic this week over on the Tumblrs.

The Flash

The Ramons by thatkillervibe 
A futurefic with Caitlin and Cisco being loving and slightly overwhelmed parents to three smart(ass) children. Killervibe, one-shot

Untitled Killervibe One-shot by thatkillervibe 
Another futurefic, one in which Cisco and Caitlin contemplate their grown daughter Lia and the things she should know. Then they get some terrible news. I requested this, so I have nobody but myself to blame. Killervibe, one-shot

Star Wars

Untitled Rebelcaptain One-Shot by skitzofreak 
Cassian is having a hard morning. Jyn decides it's on her to make sure he's feeling better. Oh my. Sexy and tender. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Moulin Rouge One by naniiebimworks 
This artist continues their skewering of the common typo. This one made me laugh until I snorted. And may I say, the guys all have excellent legs. Gen, art

Untitled Rebelcaptain Art by mugthepapaya 
They look So Very Tired, and yet at peace with each other. Awwwwwwwwww. Rebelcaptain, art

Untitled Rebelcaptain Art by crazy-fruit 
Our Battle Couple is springing into action, and somebody (probably several somebodies) is in for an ass-whuppin'. I like how they're back-to-back and the energy in their poses and some of the lines. Rebelcaptain, art

Untitled Spiritassassin Art by jadenvargen 
The sheer glee on Chirrut's face as he and Baze and their motorcycle roar through is just a delight. Baze, of course, is stone-faced with concentration, and the scrawls and scribbles of unexpected color throughout lends an air of chaos that just works beautifully with the whole concept. Spiritassassin, art.

Untitled Rey and Palpatine Art by lousysharkbutt 
Rey encounters Palpatine and has a very reasonable reaction. I laughed out loud. Gen, art

Hello, I am back! And I have two weeks' worth of recs to fill your reading page with. Onward, fandom trash!

The Flash

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by purple-and-red-ribbons
When Cisco blurts out his feelings, Caitlin pushes him away, to his horror and consternation. I like the way this gets into some of her perfectly reasonable fears, considering what's happened to her last few relationships. Killervibe, one-shot

No Kinder Sign by MoonlightShines
After she's been hurt, Cisco waits for Caitlin to wake up. You know that passage of Scripture that always gets read at weddings: "love is patient, love is kind," etc? Yeah . . . this. Killervibe, one-shot

And the Oscar Goes To . . . by sssssssim
Look, all you need to know is that this is an AU where Cisco is a movie star and Caitlin directs movies and they're both part of the Marvel movie machine and they become friends and present at the Oscars together and then mooorrrrrrre . . . Killervibe, Hollywood AU, 18k

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by briarsrosie 
When he gets to the afterlife, Cisco discovers Caitlin waiting for him, and knows for sure it's the good place. Killervibe, one-shot

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by thatkillervibe 
Caitlin knows who she wants to be with. Hint: it's not the guy she left in the middle of the date, it's the guy who tells her "I want you to be happy." Killervibe, one-shot

Violet Hill by sssssssim 
Caitlin convinces Cisco not to take the metacure by sharing how she would feel without him at Star Labs. When they go to karaoke together, he realizes that there's something else she has to tell him. Killervibe, one-shot

Star Wars

Untitled Rebelcaptain One-shot by skitzofreak
After a long day, Jyn attempts to get Cassian to relax. He has some thoughts of his own on that topic. They know each other so very well in this, down to Jyn carefully picking out the level of painkiller that he'll accept. Rebelcaptain, one-shot, NSFW

You Said Something by alp
Cassian's about to leave on a long-term assignment. This may be the last chance Jyn has to say what she's feeling. But she doesn't have the words. Romantic and awkward, just the way I like these two. Rebelcaptain, one-shot, NSFW

She Fell From Your Hands and Left Fire in Your Heart by mollivanders 
Undercover as a couple . . . that's really all you needed to know, isn't it? Oh, okay, here's more. Undercover as a couple, Cassian and Jyn both flounder around about their own feelings without knowing the other feels the same way. BEST KIND. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

If All my Words are Gone (to waste away in the unknown) by mollivanders 
Jyn and Cassian are reunited after a mission, and Jyn revels in the new and novel sensation of having someone to come home to. Rebelcaptain, one-shot
(Author is also on DW! mollivanders )

Untitled Jyn-Centric One-Shot by skitzofreak 
Jyn finds her mother's grave listed in the Imperial records, and struggles with the feelings that bubble up as a result. Some rebelcaptain, but mostly Jyn-focused, one-shot

Time Out by lousysharkbutt
This made me laugh out loud. Kylo's clearly pouting even though you can't really see his face, and Leia has just had Enough of This, Young Man. Although as the artist accurately notes, there's not enough time in the universe for all the time-outs he deserves. Gen, art

Here With You by autodrive
Young Baze and Chirrut are grinning at each other, somehow flirting without saying a single word. Link goes to my reblog of this because the artist's Tumblr was doing something strange. Spiritassassin, art

Crossing the Cempasúchil Bridge by plays-with-shadows 
A Rogue One/Coco mashup where our beloved team is joyfully crossing to the afterlife, together. I'm not crying, you're crying. Gen, art

Leia and Rey by arbutus-blossoms 
An animated piece with Leia brushing Rey's hair. I love the sense of peace and connection for these two women who've had so little of either. Gen, art

And if you were wanting a brand-new Tumblr to follow, I urge you to check out theartof-rebelcaptain. Their raison d'etre (am I using that correctly?) is to reblog and comment on all the rebelcap art they find. They'll take submissions and recommendations from followers, too!

Another week, another batch of recs!

The Flash

Unexpected Valentine by swallowthewhale 
On Valentine's Day, Caitlin finds a strange man sleeping on her balcony. Which is several floors up. But there's something really appealing about him, even with the strange way they met. Killervibe, AU, one-shot

Close Your Eyes by thatkillervibe 
At the moment of Cicada's defeat, Cisco is able to rein in Killer Frost's murderous impulses by reminding her what it will do to Caitlin. I really hope something like this happens on the show. Killervibe, one-shot

Star Wars

Untitled Jyn-Centric One-Shot by skitzofreak 
A very young Jyn gets her first truncheons. I love this snapshot of life in Saw's cadre, how people sort of take care of her but not in a coddling way, but teaching her to survive. Gen, one-shot

Untitled Jyn-Centric One-Shot by skitzofreak 
Jyn and various storms throughout her life. Finally, on Yavin, she has someone to share them with her. Gen with a touch of Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Hope by designbystasia 
A gorgeous, evocative minimalist sketch about the last lines of Rogue One. Leia Organa, art

Dads!!! by flipflopfloat 
Ooooooo. A glorious bi-colored ying-yang of Chirrut and Baze entwined, both ready for battle in their specific ways. Spiritassassin, art

Oh boy you guys have LUCKED OUT you get three weeks in one!

To put it another way, I, um, forgot that Sunday was Sunday two weeks in a row. Look, there was a holiday, and then there was a Monday off because I worked the next Saturday, and what even are days of the week?

The Flash

Cisco's Love Donut by sssssssim
On Valentine's Day, Caitlin decides to go all out on making her friend feel special. Nothing romantic, absolutely not, no sir, this is just a gesture of friendship and affection that also happens to be a giant heart-shaped cake that specifically refers to a conversation they had years ago regarding his romantic life. Fluff all the way to the walls, you guys. One-shot, Killervibe

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by thatkillervibe
Have you ever heard Carlos Valdes sing? Go rustle up a YouTube video and then come back and read this sweet snippet about Caitlin loving Cisco's singing voice, and him being sweet back at her. One-shot, Killervibe

Where it's Quiet by MoonlightShines
Cisco is alone with his thoughts about the cure and about Caitlin. I love the serious, contemplative feel of this short fic. A touch of Killervibe if you choose to see it, but mostly Cisco-centric. One-shot

Second Chances by lilithfatale
In the Flashpoint universe, Dr. Caitlin Snow gets returned home after her adventure with superheroes. But to her astonishment, the Richest Man in America turns up later to ask her for . . . a date?! I choose to believe this happened and you can't stop me. One-shot, Killervibe, AU

Throw a Hail Mary by sssssssim
The metahuman cure is looking more and more possible, and Caitlin's starting to be afraid she'll lose Cisco forever. One-shot (but 11k so on the long side), Killervibe

Pancakes bythatkillervibe
One day, Caitlin wakes up in Cisco's bed and realizes that they've been doing almost everything related to dating while not actually . . . dating??? This would so happen. One-shot, Killervibe

Worlds Collide by thatkillervibe
Apparently Earth-14 Caitlin and Cisco are married. This is shocking to everyone except for Flash-14, who tells them it's a universal constant. Whoa. I'd love to see the expanded version of this situation someday. One-shot, Killervibe

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by thatkillervibe
Caitlin invites Cisco to lunch, and they talk about their past, and maybe, their future. One of my very favorite things is stories that delve into their life and friendship pre-explosion. One-shot, Killervibe

Killervibe Kiss by vibesfrost
Caitlin plants a smooch on Cisco, and he's very surprised but not at all displeased. Art, Killervibe

Star Wars

Untitled Rebelcaptain One-Shot by skitzofreak
After Scarif, Jyn gets released from the medbay and contemplates the new realities of her life - like not having to claw for survival every waking moment, and also having friends. Oh my tender heart. One-shot, Rebelcaptain

Untitled Rebelcaptain One-Shot by skitzofreak
I love everything this person writes, as you can probably tell by how often she turns up in my recs, but I have a special love for her missionfics. Jyn and Cassian are always a badass team that respects each others' strengths and abilities. This one features a very drunk doofus getting in the way of the mission. One-shot, Rebelcaptain

A Path Lit Home by More Than Oath and Duty by mollivanders
Jyn is very sick, and Cassian has to go out on a mission. He leaves her in the care of K-2, who insists that he's only doing this because Cassian told him to. Rebelcaptain, but also a K-2 & Jyn Brotp, one-shot

Myosotis by guineapiggie
Galen reflects on Jyn, and finally gets to see her. I'm not crying, you're crying. One-shot, gen

Smile Like You Mean It by skitzofreak
Taking over a class for new intelligence agents, Cassian finds himself with Jyn in the audience, and uses it. This should be rated E for Eye-fucking. One-shot, Rebelcaptain

Han and Leia by dobesart
I can't really improve on the artist's comment here so I won't try. "Happy Valentines to my favorite Princess and Loveable Loser who is just around for the ride because his wife is so cute." Art, Han x Leia

Rebelcaptain Pun by thecrowmaiden 
I'm such a sucker for dumb puns, and they look so soft and happy here. Art, Rebelcaptain

Days of Love/Past and Present by polarcell 
I love the tenderness and the history encapsulated in this set of scenes, with Baze and Chirrut (still) bringing each other flowers. Art, Spiritassasin

Rebelcaptain Kiss by satmolly 
Just what it says. It's so sweet! Art, Rebelcaptain

Rouge One by alyruko 
Please see above re: my love of terrible puns. I'm cackling. Art, Jyn

Badass Murdercouple by stefaniereville 
Ooooo. Jyn and Cassian are coming through, pls get out of the way. Art, Rebelcaptain

Smol Rebelcap by sleepykalena
Young versions of our fave badasses, with flower crowns and toy droids. D'awwwwwwwwwww. Art, Rebelcaptain

It's a double helping today, because last weekend suuuuuuuuucked and that's all I'm gonna say about that.

I'm also going to add art to my weekly reading post (hence the name change).

The Flash

Untitled Killervibe One-Shot by ciscoatthedisco 
On a night when they're all left out of the group plans, Cisco and Caitlin decide to hang out together. That leads to a little bravery on Cisco's part.  Killervibe, one-shot

From Morning Sun by thatkillervibe 
At the New Year's Eve party, Caitlin and Cisco share a quiet moment. I love them just being together like this. Killervibe, one-shot

Cisco's Burgers by sssssssim 
Cisco and Caitlin take a friend-vacation to Earth-23 and spend their time relaxing in the sun and sand. They also run into Cisco's doppelganger, who is unexpectedly flirty with Caitlin and may know more than he's letting on. I loved getting a Cisco doppelganger who's not evil or criminal, and has his own backstory. Killervibe, one-shot

Christmas at the Ramons by sssssssim 
Cisco invites Caitlin home for Christmas dinner. Given how bad his relationships in canon are, and how much worse most people headcanon it as, I liked seeing some loving if strained family dynamics here. Killervibe, one-shot

In Your Wildest Dreams Part 1 and Part 2 by ciscoscaitlin 
Basically Caitlin and Cisco get it on at Star Labs. Yeah buddy. NSFW, Killervibe, connected one-shots

Star Wars

What's in a Name by skitzofreak 
Kes Dameron teases Jyn about the mysterious boyfriend who just saved all their skins. Jyn is absolutely not ruffled in any way, no sir, she is not. I was shrieking with laughter. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Maybe We Don't Ever Come Down by mollivanders 
Cassian and Jyn escaping from Hoth, but in so doing, they remember their escape from Scarif. (Or was it an escape.) (Either time.) I love the spooky, creepy feeling to this, the feeling that it could have gone either way and maybe it did. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

Time Sensitive by skitzofreak 
Assigned to espionage on a planet where time moves at a different speed than the rest of the galaxy (among other oddities), Cassian finds himself losing it just a little. His only lifeline is the regular messages to and from Jyn, waiting at the orbital space station far above. This story does an amazing job of showing what a mindfuck this place is without anything overtly scary or horrific. Rebelcaptain, 6 chapters, 45k

Agent by imsfire 
Cassian's done a lot of terrible things for the Alliance. That's not something that's going to go away. I love the unflinching way this story portrays the choices he's made and how they've affected him and his feelings about himself. Gen with a touch of rebelcaptain, 5 chapters, 14k

Even as a Shadow, Even as a Dream by theputterer 
AU based on the movie Annihilation. Recruited to be part of a team investigating an island cloaked in a mysterious shimmering haze, Jyn Erso doesn't want to let the rest of the team know that it was her father who created it. I've been shrieking about this story since I read it. There's lots of horror and gore and death (which is true to the movie it's based on, apparently), but I couldn't put it down. Rebelcaptain, background spiritassassin, AU, 11 chapters, 46k

Black Holes and Revelations by guineapiggie 
After Saw abandons her, Jyn realizes she'll never be able to depend on anyone but herself. I'm not crying, you're crying. Gen, one-shot

The Fundamental Things Apply by skitzofreak 
Cassian and Jyn have to pretend to be dating to get Jyn out of a tight spot. They both proceed to spiral about it until they both realize that the other person was totally okay with it, no really they were. I love these two dorks. Rebelcaptain, one-shot

And See the Dawn of my Return by rain_sleet_snow 
After the tail end of a mission goes pear-shaped, the only place for Jyn and Cassian to retreat to is Lah'mu. I'm such a sucker for Jyn facing her past. Rebelcaptain, 2-shot, 14k

Color Study from a Screenshot of Rogue One by ambivartence 
Oooo. This is one of my very favorite shots of Jyn Erso. She looks so quiet and contemplative. She could be praying or meditating or just reflecting, and the way the shadow falls across her face is a foreshadowing of what's to come. This piece of art replicated it beautifully. Gen, art

Rey's First Rainfall by grassprint 
There's such glee in this piece. Rey and Poe and Finn all dance in the rain, which is glittering in sunlight and it's this happy sweet moment. Gen, art
