Fanfic Recs #1 || Galennic

Note: I DO NOT own this aesthetic board or any of the given pictures.
This was a lovely little edit I found online.

————————————————————————————————————————

Fandom: Rouge One: A Star Wars Story || Star Wars: Catalyst
Ship Names(s): Galennic
Hetro or Homo: Homosexual
Why Ship It?: Galennic is like Kylux’s lesser known (but just as good) twin. But like Ga(y)lennic is almost MORE angsty because of the heart wrenching “unrequited love”. If you like Kylux, then this ship is most definitely for you. 

————————————————————————————————————————

So for my second blog post, I decided to do a Galennic fanfic recommendation because it was probably one of the best 2018 fandoms I got into and though up for debate daily, my favorite.
Before I recommend anything else, please, please, please get yourself a copy of Catalyst by (The one and only) James Luceno. Such a beautiful book and a lot of these fics have references it that you don’t HAVE to know to read the fic, but make it that much sweeter if you do.

And as always, please remember to read the tags on the fics before hand. I’ve still yet to truly find the difference between Mature and Explicit (most Mature fics contain explicit content as well), so please tread carefully and again PLEASE READ THE ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN TAGS BEFOREHAND.

Let’s get started. (Note: All fics, unless stated otherwise, can be found on archiveofourown.org)
