Description:


The many different lives of Cassian Andor and Jyn Erso during the Second World War.

“Can you bear to see Nazi flags reign across Europe? Across the world?”

 

“I think I can pick a simple Yale lock in the dark, Cassian.”

 

“I’m making an exception, ma’am, for the war effort.”

 

“Everything we do is for the greater good.”

 

“So you do not want to know what I’m like in bed?”

 

“The British. It is always the British, isn’t it?”

 

"You get to do a lot of living during a war.”

God bless Star Wars for combining fandom culture's two true passions: shipping and fighting fascism.

Notes:

Jyn and Cassian are simply made for the WWII AU and this series is my attempt at squeezing them into every WWII scenario I can come up with. The stories will not be connected, but they might contain the same themes and an abundance of Casablanca references. It is also a fun excuse for me to do more research on this period in history of which I'm very interested in.

Please note that although I am a lover of WWII history, I am no expert. I might (and probably will) make mistakes in my texts. I welcome correction and constructive criticism, but only if they are delivered rationally. Also, please keep in mind that the stories in this series are written purely for entertainment. They are not meant to be seen as historical texts or a true reflection of the events which occurred during one of the darkest times in our history.

That said, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Feel free to leave reviews, questions or even random thoughts. I would LOVE to hear from you. You can also check out the series’ official playlist here. I'll be updating it as I go along.

Ilsa: Let's see, the last time we met...
Rick: Was La Belle Aurore.
Ilsa: How nice, you remembered. But of course, that was the day the Germans marched into Paris.
Rick: Not an easy day to forget.
Ilsa: No.
Rick: I remember every detail. The Germans wore grey, you wore blue.
