For My Au I Enjoyed It Cuz He Matched My Tech But After Sitting On It Since The Finale I Still Dislike

Dawn, After

Spoilers for 3x11, “Point of No Return.”

-

Hunter follows Batcher up the steps, ribs aching with every breath, his chest heavy. There’s no longer anything like hope within him; the gunships departing, the screams of the townspeople fading into weary grief, they’ve told him all he needs to know about the Empire and what it came for.

His boots drag against the stone, stumbling over uneven steps. His gloved hand scrapes against the side of the stairwell, trying to keep him steady. Batcher comes back to check on him. She whines softly, nudging his hand.

“It’s all right, girl,” he lies. His voice cracks.

He can tell she doesn’t believe him, but she turns and heads back up the stairs anyway. He keeps climbing.

The sky’s lightening. Sun’ll be up soon. Hard to tell through the choke of smoke.

Hunter rounds a corner. Batcher’s hunkered down on the path, her face hidden. Crosshair slumps against the wall, his back to the sea, helmet forgotten beside him.

For a moment, Hunter doesn’t know if he’s dead or alive.

He’s so tired. Hunter sinks down beside his brother. “Crosshair.”

There’s only silence, an awful, empty silence. Crosshair doesn’t move.

“Crosshair.” Hunter reaches out, shakes him by the shoulder, the breath catching in his throat when Crosshair turns and stares at him.

He doesn’t blink. He still looks dead. His eyes are —

“I failed the mission,” Crosshair whispers. “I’m sorry.”

“I know,” says Hunter. “I know.”

The sun rises red over Pabu, dark smoke fouling the air, and neither of them feel anything at all.

-This mission debrief couldn't wait until the rest of the temple was awake?-

Those early morning surprise meetings are great right? I've been so tired lately because of early morning work so now these boys have the same problem. Also I just thought it would be cute to draw them all sleepy ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ

ANDOR S02E09 Welcome to the Rebellion x Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

CROSSHAIR ⇢ "The Harbinger" [s03e09]

Tech told me all about your ... [dramatic pause] "sparkling" personality

The Sass. I love her.

I was trying to find a connection between Crosshair's tremors and Hemlock's gloved hand (which seems to be in constant pain), like them both being experimented on, or maybe a side effect the questionable toxin resistence Royce has worked on developing (for himself at least).

But the answer to Cross's tremors might be so much simpler, and I'm not sure if this has been said before but it could be muscle memory of pulling on his restraints when he got tortured in Tantiss :( that trauma is always on his mind, everything reminds him of it. We don't even know for how long they tried to get information about Omega out of him. Maybe even being near her triggers him too..

But I'm still intrigued about Hemlock's hand.. is it a robotic hand? Why does he need the glove? Why did the writers fixate so much on hands this season? Did they see us thristing over their hands like victorian men seeing ankles?

Edited perfectly ❤️
