modern got au in which asha is a "teen parent"
or more accurately, asha and theon have a much larger age gap, 10/15-ish years, type of age gap (she's at least 18/19 and theon's only like 4/5), and in a series of freak events, their lives are turned on its head.
their brothers were dead. their mother and father were ruled incompetent, the former left a shell of herself after the loss of her sons, no longer able to care for her remaining children, the latter was never a father to begin with and he didn't seem to have any wish to become one now.
she was an adult by law, meaning she was free from the hell that was the system. her kid brother - the one who smiled at her for seemingly no reason, the one who crawled into her bed when thunder rattled the house, the brother who held her hand on their rare family outings - was not.
she couldn't leave him there, even if she wanted to, even if it would make her life so much easier. she wouldn't abandon him like the rest of their shitty family. he was blood for fucks sake, she'd die before she let's him get taken away from her and given away to strangers to be used and exploited or treated like a shelter puppy to be pitied and fawned over.
cue asha fighting for custody of her baby brother, doing whatever it takes to be deemed a suitable guardian, and the two of them taking on the world together.
more thoughts:
they have to find an apartment cause they can't afford to keep their family home. moving into the cheapest place they can find with only the stuff they can fit in asha's truck, sharing an air matress and eating off of a coffee table while watching movies they rented from the library.
asha cleaning her brother up before his first day at his new school, trying to get him to look suitable, but not really knowing what suitable means for a kid going into kindergarten/first grade
theon comforting his sister when she gets overwhelmed with it all, doing his best to ease her tears. the night ending with them both curled around each other, just two scared little kids trying their best.
asha fighting anyone she has to to keep custody of theon, whether it be the social worker, the judge, people who called cps to report her. she doesn't care, no one will take away her baby brother.
asha taking theon to work with her (she works in a boat shop cause she already knows what she's doing) and having to keep him entertained while she works so they don't get sent home.
their first christmas/birthdays by themselves. theon putting together gifts at school (finger paintings or paper mache or something of the like) and asha cherishing it forever. asha spending all the money left to her name each time to get him something nice so eh can feel like a normal kid.
theon doing sports in school (little league or something) and asha making sure she goes to every damn game, being the loudest in the stands.
asha getting more and more used to being physically affectionate with her brother at time goes on. before everything she'd tense up when he'd hug her legs or hold her hand, but now she scoops him up like a rag doll, ruffles his hair, kisses his forehead, without a second thought.
{I'm so normal about them I swear}

I forgot to lock the fitting room's door and a man saw me with no trousers on, yet I felt almost no shame. Thanks, Disco Elysium!

one thing about jyn is that she will never wear a dress (or a skirt). if she's forced to attend a black tie event, she'll be wearing a clean!! shirt and pants, and might even polish her boots if you're lucky.
if she's forced to wear a dress for an assignment, she will only do so with these concessions:
it has to be flowy enough and/or have slits in the skirt to allow for a full range of movement if she needs to run/fight
it has to be relatively full coverage (especially on intelligence missions, since she's so covered in scars that it would make her easily identifiable)
she will be choosing her shoes. this is non-negotiable. she can't walk well in hells and they're impractical. best hope the dress is long enough to cover her combat boots

Fiberglass nightmare update: Went to my new doc for the standard new patient visit. Asked about the fiberglass while I was there and he listened to my lungs. Told me I'll be coughing and sniffling for a week or two but as long as I don't *keep* breathing it in and wear a good mask while cleaning it up, I should be ok. So that's good news.
Also good news: found a service that will wash the fiberglass out of my clothes, sheets, and soft things. And I've gottan some good advice from ya'll about how to save my squishmallows and my stuffed Beardevil.
I've bought a good vacuum with a HEPA filter to clean up after I get some of the stuff out of my room - some that can be saved (clothes) and some that is now garbage (little armchair). According to insulation installing friend, I go crazy with the vacuum on EVERYTHING, before washing things down with hot, soapy water. If I can get it outside to spray with a hose? Even better. So that's likely what I'll do with some of my stuff, including jewelry if I can. After the first round of cleaning, I wait for the dust to settle again. Then I do it again. 2 or 3 rounds should take care of it and make my room livable again, as long as I have an air purifier and regularly vaccuum until all the dust is gone.
Until then, I get to sleep on the recliner downstairs. 🤪
