Summary
"In five minutes I'll be dead, too," Melshi points out. "At least if you do it, I'll come back."
"You'll come back wrong." Cassian's furious that Melshi doesn't understand. "Constantly fighting yourself. You want that kind of suffering?"
Melshi clutches at Cassian's hand, his body heat never more apparent. Even now, his blood calls to Cassian.
"No, but I'll take suffering together." A smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. "Just like old times, eh?"

Summary
A faulty engine leaves Melshi and Cassian waiting for rescue, for, at last count, fifty hours. There's only eight ration bars, but Melshi's fine on two a day if he's just sitting there.
Cassian isn't. His face is hollow and he hasn't looked at Melshi for hours.
"You're wasting away, Cass."
Cassian shakes his head. "I'll eat later."
He still thinks Melshi doesn't know.

Summary
"We need to know how long I can go between meals," Cassian insists. K-2 doesn't like it, but can't argue with the necessity of the test.
Sex only helps the first night. The second, Cassian rages, pacing the bedroom, ranting, occasionally scratching gouges in the walls. The third night, he sobs without tears. The fourth, he spends entirely in bed, listless. K-2 isn't sure he wants to see what the fifth night brings.

Summary
Every hour in Keef's presence seemed to bring up more emotions Melshi hadn't felt in years, jangling through his abused nervous system like the pins and needles of a limb waking up. It was excruciating, and intoxicating, and he knew he was never coming back from it.

Summary
Cassian watched everything he could: the assembly process, the layout of the work room, the other inmates, the alliances and rivalries, the guards' behavior.
Melshi watched Cassian.

Summary
Cassian’s just left a bad job behind, and he needs the kind of rocksure familiarity and comfort that Luthen just doesn’t deal in. He knows his handler will track him down, but for just one night he has to snatch hold of the most reliable love left to him.

Sometime after season 1. No, I can’t remember if they say where they’re escaping to at the end of Rix Road, so I just landed everyone in a refugee camp on an unnamed planet. Established friends with benefits but they're idiots who can't admit how much they care for each other - I see y'all talking about how Cass and Brasso should have hooked up, and I thought 'why just one time?'. But I warn you - it's sad >:3

Summary
His hand is warm and heavy on Brasso's flank. If he concentrates, Brasso can even feel Cass's pulse in the skinny wrist he's still holding onto with half-hearted strength.
"What is it you want?" he pushes back. There are always consequences with Cass. Always repercussions and unseen costs. And Brasso needs to know if he can afford to let this happen.
Cass nips his lower lip between his teeth and gives a little snort of amusement. "I'm just curious. You're not curious?" His fingers tighten, clutching folds of Brasso's vest, digging into the flesh beneath.
Curious barely covers it, Brasso thinks.

Cassian's not long back from a stint off-world, and things are volatile back home. It's lucky he's got an old friend he can rely on.Bookmarked by Bright_Elen

Time stretched for them, slow and sweet and lazy, and they clung to it, and to each other, until the sounds of the base at night began to seep in.

Summary
“Let’s split up,” Cassian said, pulling two credit chips out of the mysterious chest he’d just recovered from the hotel and pressing them into Melshi’s palm. “Get yourself some new clothes, anything else you need. These should be enough. There’re stores down that way and a market by the canal. Keep your head down. Stay away from the troopers. If you see anything, don’t run. Don’t even walk. Just stay where you are and look like you belong. Don’t go any further than the courthouse.”
Melshi pocketed the chips. “Anything else?”
“Be careful.” Cassian didn’t look amused. “I’ll get us something to eat. Meet back here in an hour.”

Summary
In the bunk across from and above him was Melshi, body twitching and trembling, gripped by the cold and some invisible night terror.
Something about being adrift on an island all his own made knowing someone else was struggling feel almost like rescue.
A glimpse into the evolution of Cassian and Melshi’s relationship through moments and glances that carry them to freedom together.
