ambiguityisnoonesfriendDear Cupid,
Some of this is copied from previous letters, and I am also happy with what I asked for in my previous letters. I am very easy to please. Think of the prompts as vague suggestions to get your ideas flowing. As a rule, as long as the relationships I request are the focus, I’m going to be thrilled with whatever you come up with. I have received some wonderful gifts for many of these requests in the past. If I am requesting them again, it only means I am greedy and want more! (Seriously, go see my Gifts page. I have been spoiled rotten!) Don't read into some requests being longer than others. For some things, my entire request can be boiled down to, "Pretty! Want!"
General likes:
- plot, casefic, mission fic, plotless fluff
- toppy women and partners who are turned on by toppy women
- humor, endings with hope intact
- functional relationships, dysfunctional relationships, secret relationships that aren’t really a secret, established relationships, get-togethers, healthy communicative polyamory where everyone's on the same page
- canon divergence AUs such as what if they got there five minutes sooner or Anakin never fell. dimension-hopping from/to canon divergent universes where they did get there five minutes sooner
- fluff, light angst, whump with happy endings
- friends with benefits, FWB with feelings, FWB denying they are FWB with feelings
- kidfic, accidental baby/toddler acquisition, awkward dorky teenagers, parenting including quirky or atypical co-parenting arrangements, pregnancy including mpreg and fpreg and weird "because aliens" preg
- fix-its, time loops, road trips, trapped together, partner/child in jeopardy rescues
- body swap
- mixing and matching prompts
Additional Like note: I don't care if you're familiar with the entire universe of things I've requested (I'm not) or if you're only familiar with the five minutes you watched on Youtube that one time. I like when people make things up about the storyverse then run with them.
You can add Grogu to any prompt I've requested. You can add Qi'ra to any prompt I've requested as a morally gray semi-friendly antagonist (think Hondo).
Art likes:
- bright colors with clear lines, black and white
- heavily stylized such as Art Deco or playing cards
- complex backgrounds, blank backgrounds
- unusual page structure
- shadows and shading
- photorealistic, chibis, stick figures
- women with muscle definition
- props
- background animals, background plants
- stained glass, marginalia in old books
- character portraits
- Rule 63 takes on requested characters (this is an art-only like, please no unrequested Rule 63 for fic)
- I love art. I don't always have a lot to say about what I like about art but I always love art.
Do not want:
- porn, PWP, anything rated Explicit (Do not be concerned about where to draw the line between Mature and Explicit. I'm not upset by smut; I have learned that I am too picky and my tastes change too rapidly to request it in good faith for exchanges.)
- noncon (dubcon ok)
- scat, watersports
- omegaverse
- sexual activity for anyone under 15 (kissing is fine)
- unrequested ships except as mentioned
- focus on unrequested characters
- non-canon AUs such as coffeeshops or Modern/non-powered AUs
- permanent character death of any requested characters unless dead in canon
- unrequested sexuality or gender headcanons, unrequested genderswap or sexswap (body swap trope into differently sexed body ok)
- unrequested Force sensitivity headcanons
- non-canon nicknames, including pet names
- any parent character thinking or saying they wish they'd never had their child / they hate their child / they no longer love their child
- frame stories unless both parts involve groups of my requested characters
- stories where half the requested relationship (platonic or romantic) only shows up at the very end
- erasure of canon disabilities (canon divergence AUs where event causing the disability did not happen/has not happened yet are ok; AUs solely created to avoid disabilities very much not ok)
- character or relationship bashing
- first person POV
- epistolary format
- Interactive Fiction
- Sabine Wren with long hair (art or fic); Sabine Wren being interested romantically or sexually in men
Additional note about character bashing: I'm perfectly fine with canon opinions about other characters and relatable extrapolations from same. General Hux thinks Kylo Ren is an asshole in canon and he can call Kylo Ren an asshole here. Hera hates the Empire and would personally set the Emperor on fire herself given a chance. That attitude is fine to keep in a story.
Do not like:
These are things I'm not fond of but don't mind appearing in a story/artwork in small amounts to move the characters or plot along. Please do not use this list as some kind of checklist challenge to use one each. My likes are at the top of this letter and I love when creators use those instead!
- use of italics or bold (reading them gives me headaches, please limit use to where strictly necessary)
- focus on unrequested characters
- non-canon swearing
- worldbuilding
- Mando'a
- excessive military details
- focus on grief/mourning
- sexually submissive women (including femslash - top4top is my jam)
- implication that the Rebellion went directly from Yavin 4 to Hoth when it took them years to get there in canon (I love Hoth huddling-for-warmth fic. Hoth fic is great.)
- extensive references to or crossovers with Legends/video games/unrequested EU novels (Small references and Easter Eggs are great! A gift that hinges on Character/Plotline X from Novel Y will make a better gift for someone else.)
- overuse of epithets (I don't mind stories referring to someone as "the blonde," "the tall man," or "the Jedi" if the character is a stranger to the POV character or it's relevant to the specific conversation about tall, blonde Jedi. Please use the characters' names otherwise.)
Background relationships: Anything listed in other prompts is fine in the background of another ship. Platonic relationships are fine. Mentions of canon ships or character/OC ships are fine. Additional background ships I like: Luke/Leia/Han, Luke/Leia, Luke/Ezra, Sabine/Ahsoka, Sabine/Ketsu, Zeb/Kallus, Omega/Lyanna, past Ahsoka/Rex
SW: The Bad Batch
Omega & Hera Syndulla
Omega/Hera Syndulla
My heart grew three sizes watching these two spend time together. I'd love to read about a future adventure for the two of them. Maybe a year or two later when The Batch are on a mission and need to call in a favor from some old friends. Maybe when Hera goes out into the galaxy on her own at 16 or so, she runs into Omega and they cause trouble for the Empire together, running missions, stealing from the Imperials, etc., first girlfriends? (If you want to have them meet up with other EU characters who act as friends, foes, or a complicated mix of both such as Qi'ra or Enfys Nest, this would be welcome.) Maybe post-RotJ, Rex lets his new friends know where his old ones have been conducting their own private war against the Imperials. I am fine with developing a romantic relationship between Hera and Omega post-RotJ. I am fine with trans girl Omega headcanon or not but prefer the story not focus on that past "yep, this is a thing, who wants waffles?") Maybe Omega and Hera get together after Hera has a fling with Rex and they get the awkward "You dated my brother?" conversation.
A note about this pairing: please either set it before Hera and Kanan are together or after his death, or have one of them state they are specifically in an open relationship. I don't like cheating fic or AUs where they were never together.
Crosshair/Mayday
Apparently I now ship these two like it's my job. Any AU where Mayday isn't dead by the end of his first episode would be great. Any AU where it turns out they knew each other back on Kamino would also be great.
Maybe a tell-all tabloid article from the underground holo news outlet where Crosshair goes to share his story after everything, and it keeps going back to this great guy he met. Fanart about their contrasts, given how different Crosshair is from Regs, and how Mayday has grown into his own person despite being a Reg (from Crosshair's POV this is weird).
Follow up or coda to "The Return" where Crosshair goes into a little more depth about what happened. Mayday can stay dead but I wish for tasty, tasty angst about it.
Crosshair/Chopper
Two words: MURDER BROS! Slightly more words: I did how these two occupy the "monster on a leash" position for Omega and Hera, and how they're both pretty fucked up by what happened to them during and after the Clone Wars, and how sometimes dealing with your trauma means fragging stormtroopers. In short, they should be friends wading together in rivers of blood or at least being bitingly mean to the people they also love more than anyone else in the galaxy.
SW: Rebels
Kanan Jarrus/Hera Syndulla
Hera Syndulla & Jacen Syndulla
Kanan Jarrus & Jacen Syndulla
DNW breakup fic for Kanan/Hera. I am fine with fics set after he died and told in flashback, or with him as a Force ghost, or fix-its where he didn't die and/or they find a way to being him back. The rest of the cast is welcome to play significant roles in the story. I'm not super into angst for this pairing. A little is fine but I'd rather aim for something on the "sweet" end of "bittersweet" when possible.
- Their first months working together.
- Missing scenes from the time of the show.
- That time they got stuck in a Groundhog Day time loop for three days that lasted six months, and how they got out and how much time they spent having sex.
- That one job that started out simple and wound up them wheeling and dealing with half the criminals in the underworld, including Qi'ra, for the sake of getting a Jedi artifact or something.
- That time they banged in Ezra's old comm tower while everyone else was busy during "Flight of the Defender."
- Those times they banged in the various rooms of the ship.
- Their first time post-Malachor.
- Kanan figuring out this Force Ghost business after the fact the way Qui-Gon did, and hanging out to watch and guide.
- Were Zeb and Sabine their first attempt at building a crew, or were there others around before, and what happened?
- He's been smitten with her since the beginning, and she didn't say she loved him until the end, so how did they work around feelings, and not admitting to those feelings despite the fact that everyone around them knew?
- What was he about to tell her when Rukh attacked?
- Comedy capers where they're just hanging out having fun!
- Fix-its in which she's running the Rebellion and he's changing diapers and trying to keep Chopper from tossing the baby out through the airlock.
- Non-fix-its where his ghost is hanging out with them, making bad jokes and attempting to parent from beyond the grave.
- A Kanan (or Caleb) from another timeline shows up post-ROTJ, and the resulting angst of dealing with someone who looks like your dead ex and trying to explain it to your kid.
I am always a sucker for parent-child interactions, whether that's when the kid is a toddler or when the kid is old enough to go off to college and/or start a family. What kinds of lessons does Jacen carry forward from his mother, from stories about his father (or in an AU where Kanan lives, things he learned from him directly)? Fanart of his baby pictures, or racy tabloid speculations about his origins, or his report cards from nursery school, or the day he brings home his first boyfriend to meet his mother and his dad's Force Ghost.
Rex/Hera Syndulla
I could see these two forming a FWB arrangement circa Hoth. Hera doesn't want to get feelings involved ever again because she doesn't want another broken heart. That doesn't mean she won't get feelings anyway but they're not in her plan. Rex has admired her for years but there are chain of command issues. Maybe that's why he's on the Endor strike team and not directly under her command circa RotJ. They both can have angst because of the dead guy in the room, real ghost or imagined. She can have angst out of wonder if this is the best thing for her heart or her child. He can have angst because clones aren't supposed to do relationships any more than Jedi are, and his time is getting shorter by the minute. Maybe they end it after one time. Maybe they knock on each other's door every several months after the war. Maybe they don't get together until after the war, when Hera can relax enough to accept a little bit of something happy for herself. (I am fine with past Rex/Kanan/Hera or past Ahsoka/Kanan/Hera for this request. I am okay with Rex/Hera/Ghost Kanan as long as the focus is on the requested relationship.)
I am fine with Hera having dated both Rex and Omega at different points and the awkward conversation coming up for "I dated your brother / sister" hilarity.
Hera Syndulla & Sabine Wren
Sabine's early days on the Ghost had to be rough. She'd already lost her home, broken up with Ketsu, and had been left for dead, very possibly right before they found her. How did things go? How did Kanan and Hera convince her to trust them enough to come live with them? We saw Hera and Sabine come to terms during "Out of Darkness" but we never really got to see them spend time together after that. Did Hera enlist Sabine's engineering skills for the ship as an excuse while they tentatively talked through the rough parts of their pasts? When Jacen was born, did Sabine spend those early days close by to support her friend, or get enlisted for wacky babysitting hijinks, or run back to the Ghost after everything went bad with Mandalore and her training with Ahsoka? What was their hardest conversation?
SW: Ahsoka
Hera Syndulla & Ahsoka Tano & Sabine Wren
A combination of any of my other prompts for these characters would be great. Hera stepping in to help Sabine and Ahsoka on their quest (or stepping in to stop them sniping at each other during one of their breakups). The aftermath of bringing Ezra home, and nobody knows how to fit together as a family any more until they work things out. Or, during the S2 era, Ahsoka and Hera are still working together and Sabine is struggling to fit in given the trust issues she had in S1 with Hera's secret contacts with Ahsoka. Ahsoka and Sabine playing fairy godmothers to Jacen and possibly spoiling him or teaching him even more inappropriate stuff than Chopper does while Hera's trying to keep the Rebellion together and deal with having a little kid around. Dropping the kid off with Rex or Zeb and Kallus and the three women go off on some adventure together. I just love seeing them interact.
SW: AMT
Poe Dameron/Jacen Syndulla
I am convinced these two knew each other when they were younger. Competing aces in the New Republic Academy who occasionally settled their constant oneupsmanship in bed? Long-term boyfriends driven apart by destiny? Occasional fuckbuddies who are on-board with the other seeing other people as long as he's up for some fun when they're both in town? The sky's the limit. Or, canon AU where they saw where things were headed and fucked off to run their own cargo business together while the events of the rest of the galaxy play on without them. I am also interested in them as snippy exes, and maybe Jacen comes back into Poe's life right as he's finally getting things worked out with Finn. (I'm okay with a Poe/Finn endgame if you want to go there as long as there's plenty of Poe/Jacen backstory.) Preference for Jacen to be Force sensitive but not a Jedi, though I could be amenable to him deciding if all the other Jedi he knows are going to have sex, he's not sticking to that rule either. (I haven't read the Poe backstory novel and I don't care to. Incorporate or ignore what you want.)
Poe Dameron (SWST) & Ben Solo (SWST) & Jacen Syndulla (SWR)
The amount of trouble these three should get into is limited only by your imagination. Imagine the three of them winding up at the same school, Jedi school or New Republic. Imagine the complaints and the varying stories they give to their parents when they get caught. At some point, these three were dragged along to some Rebellion reunion where their parents had fun reminiscing about the old days and the kids were bored. Nothing starts out well when the first words you exchange with someone are "My mother said I have to be nice to you." Knowing that Ben grew up to be a human disaster, and Poe wasn't not a disaster, and Jacen is named after a different human disaster, all I am saying is that something got set on fire by the end of the party, certainly by accident, possibly by the Force. This or any other misadventure the three kids got into would be a wonder and a delight. Or, older, they meet up after Exegol because Ben survived and it turns out (any) two of the three are still bitter about some playdate twenty-five years ago. (Do not want Jacen babysitting the other two unless it goes hilariously wrong in every possible way, in which case godspeed and damn the torpedoes.)

Knowing that Ben grew up to be a human disaster, and Poe wasn't not a disaster, and Jacen is named after a different human disaster, all I am saying is that something got set on fire by the end of the party, certainly by accident, possibly by the Force. This or any other misadventure the three kids got into would be a wonder and a delight. Or, older, they meet up after Exegol because Ben survived and it turns out (any) two of the three are still bitter about some playdate twenty-five years ago. (Do not want Jacen babysitting the other two unless it goes hilariously wrong in every possible way, in which case godspeed and damn the torpedoes.)
