Poss. stuff in the lull between Death Star 1 blowing and the Battle of Hoth:
• Jyn+Cas (and however many of the others we want) survive Scarif; as soon as they get back to Yavin 4, Cas is stuck in a bacta tank, and after a while in a medical coma, he finally wakes up—to find Jyn is still there…?
• Cas likes to climb the Massassi ziggurat, maybe Jyn climbs up one with him; and/or they go for a hike in the jungle…
• Alliance is looking to rehome survivors of Jedha and Alderaan, J+C could help survey planets…?
• Alliance needs more members, C sent back out as recruiter if Jyn wants to join…? (could involve being in a city together)
• reunite on Hoth after getting separated during the evacuation of Yavin…?

Anytime:
• the process of figuring out how to get these crazy kids to sleep in the same room (if they want to)
• they're already sleeping in the same room when one wakes the other with a nightmare
• something purely fluffy like realizing they both have atrocious eating habits, or one does and the other tries to help them with that

The feeling was just as difficult to name inside Jyn -- but maybe it was enough to let it be a fragile, wild thing for now. "Don't mock me, Captain," she returned, just as seriously as he was.

He didn't have the capability for anything right now except honesty; and that was all that was in his voice. "I'm not."

No… he really wasn't.

What he was was starting to drift off again.

There was a peculiar twinge in her chest, right where her heart sat under her rib cage. "Stop arguing and rest," she told him softly, squeezing his hand. "I'll be right here."

The squeeze of her hand made him feel safer and more comforted than any amount of painkillers. His fingers tightened for a moment on hers, back; and, per orders, he put back his head and closed his eyes.

Though his grip was gentle, she could move away the instant she wanted to, this time he didn't let go of her hand.
