The next episode of the rebelcaptain food travel AU, set in Istanbul and Cappadocia, Turkey!
Jyn confronts ancient memories she thought she’d properly buried, learns a little more about Cassian’s history, and is forced outside her comfort zone. Plus some mutual pining.
#
She’s content just to stand next to him, silently observing the city from their incredible vantage point, tracking the path they’ll be taking later. She skims over Karaköy, the neighborhood directly below them, alleys and shops leading down to water. Seagulls flock over Galata Bridge, flapping around the fish market, and across the bridge, another hill rises, topped with Süleymaniye Mosque.
Everything’s ancient, on that side of the water—palaces and mosques, monuments and walls, columns and cisterns, all of it collecting centuries of memories, worn smooth by the passage of millions of lives.
Just looking at it, the land and buildings that comprised what was once Constantinople, the heart of the Byzantine empire, stirs her own stagnant memories, of people and places and times she’s tried to forget, tried to plaster over like the walls in the Hagia Sophia.
