Smut Wars 2025

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
- Force weirdness (I agree with Zeb. It's good when things get weird.)
- interrelationships; awareness that a single character can be a friend, sibling, colleague, parent, grandchild, leader, and nemesis to various other characters and these relationships all shape who the character is (two characters alone in a room is good; two characters alone in a room while their best friend is outside the door, their boss is calling, and their kids want lunch is better)
- 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.


Art likes:
- comics and sequential art
- one panel glimpses of the various scenarios described
- propaganda posters both for and against my requested characters
- mirror and reflection imagery, dualities
- 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:
- 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
- breaking up or AUing canon relationships; please set before the ship is together or after they are canonically no longer together, or please establish they are open to poly relationships

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: Rey/Ben|Kylo, Luke/Leia/Han, Luke/Leia, Luke/Ezra, Sabine/Ahsoka, Sabine/Ketsu, Zeb/Kallus, post-ANH Hera/Rex, Omega/Lyanna, past Ahsoka/Rex, Yrica/Chass



Crosshair/Mayday

I 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 something 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). Crosshair is a virgin and Mayday is his first. Crosshair has had tons of self-hating anonymous sex with Regs before but this is different and he can't admit to himself why.



Kanan Jarrus/Hera 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 bring 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.
- Trying to find alone time for sex when the ship is full, and one of the crew members has a low-level psychic link with Kanan.
- That time they got stuck in a Groundhog Day time loop for three days that lasted six months, and how they got out.
- 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.
- Kanan figuring out this Force Ghost business after the fact the way Qui-Gon did, and hanging out to watch and guide (and fuck).
- 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?
- 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 sort out their love life 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 and oh no he's still hot.



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 and oops 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 also 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 and oh no, Omega is hot now. 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.


Chass na Chadic/Yrica Quell

Yrica is deeply flawed and I love her. I love that she was incapable of stopping herself from committing genocide until she was ordered to, and how deep her own self-loathing runs. I love that she tries her best over and over, no matter who she's working for, and runs herself to the bone as a result. I have low-key shipped her with Chass (who is another giant pile of damage, and whose rage against the galaxy is beautiful in the most metal way possible and also she should meet Sabine and Cara and the three of them can rage together) since the first novel and I punched the air when they went canon in the third book. I want to see them get together. I want the story of them twenty years into the relationship still making things work. I want them attempting and failing a drunken hookup circa the first book. Maybe they experience Accidental Grogu/other baby Acquisition and have to manage. Maybe they get a call from Wyl and go on one more adventure to rescue Kairos from something terrible, or rescue Nath from himself, or Hera gives them a call for a mission of her own to help Sabine and Ahsoka track down Ezra, or babysit Jacen.


Yrica Quell/Hera Syndulla

Yrica's crush on Hera can be seen from the Unknown Regions and I love that. Maybe the two of them get together between the Battle of Jakku and before Chass shows up on Yrica's doorstep. Maybe one of the nights Hera is mentoring Yrica, things get heated and oops, they're naked. Maybe Yrica and Chass have a semi-open relationship and each of them has a short list of people on their "hall pass".
