❝ There's no room for weakness in this war. If you wanna fight this fight you gotta toughen up and quit believing in happy endings. ❞
Aiyra learned at an early age that the war preys on the weak. It was the first thing Saw Gerrera taught her after her parents were killed, and now the reason she hates the Rebel Alliance. The Rebellion is already losing the war and it's because the damn Alliance is too afraid to utilize the army they've amassed. Aiyra doesn't want to see the galaxy turn to ashes beneath the Empire, or see innocents die like her parents did; which is why she fights. Because she can't let the Empire get away with destroying any more than it already has.
Saw Gerrera taught her to be ruthless, to be strong and fearless and smart. He taught her to be an assassin and a strategist and a pilot and a warrior.
He made her a Partisan.
When the war killed her, Aiyra returned as Silver.
❝ All I have left is hope. It's the only thing they can't take from me. ❞
Since he was six years old, Cassian Andor has known nothing but the Rebellion, and it hasn't left him unscathed. He has his fair share of scars—emotional and physical. But it doesn't show. Years of fighting in the war has made him especially reserved, and—thanks to his experience in spying—exceptionally good at hiding and being someone he isn't.
But meeting Aiyra changed that.
Meeting Aiyra changed everything.
❝ We're not so different, you know. You're just too stubborn to believe an opinion that isn't your own. ❞
❝ I almost agreed with you, but then you screwed it up. ❞

AUTHOR'S NOTE / DISCLAIMER
Rated T for:
-Swear words*
-Some scenes of graphic violence
-Some sexual activity (kissing scenes)
*with the exception of hell and damn, the swearing in this story does not include the use of the "classic" curse words (eg. fuck). This story utilizes a collection of swears/curses that are unique to the Star Wars universe.
Everything in this story is fictional.
This story is based off the 2016 Rogue One: A Star Wars Story movie, but I do not own Rogue One or Rogue One's characters/plot!
Aiyra, R3-J4 and any of Aiyra's blood relatives mentioned in the story are my characters though! Please don't steal them!
This story begins one year before Rogue One and eventually continues into the plot of the movie.
If you don't know anything about Star Wars or Rogue One, don't sweat it! There is a brief chapter before the story begins that provides a prelude!
Also, if anyone notices any spelling or grammar mistakes I would appreciate it so much if you'd mention it in the comments so I can fix it :)
Aaaaaand if anyone would like to make a prettier cover or really any artwork at all, I would appreciate it very much!
This story is also available on my Wattpad and Quotev account if you'd like to view it there as well :)
Thanks so much for checking out my story! I hope you all enjoy it! There is no current release date as I have no idea when I'll have the time to write this story. If you're genuinely interested in reading it, leave a review or PM me letting me know! If I find a lot of people are interested in Aiyra, it will increase the probability of a quicker release…if I ever do release it lol
