ambiguityisnoonesfriendDear Yoda,
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. Some of these ideas may lend themselves to longer fics or more complicated images than you have time for. I am 100% on board with a short scene or sketch that's part of the larger picture. I am requesting fanart and fanfic for all requests.
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!"
Likes: plot, 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, functional polyamory, 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, porn, fluff, light angst, friends with benefits, 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, 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: 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, women with muscle definition, props, background animals, background plants, stained glass, marginalia in old books, would love a wedding photo-style picture for any of my requests either "staged" or "candid," character portraits, Rule 63 takes on requested characters (this is an art-only like, please no unrequested Rule 63 for fic)
Do not want: noncon, scat, watersports, omegaverse, sexual activity for anyone under 15 (kissing is fine) unrequested ships except as mentioned, non-canon AUs such as coffeeshops, DNW permanent character death of any canon characters except those who died in canon (ex: Kanan can stay dead or not, but please do not kill off Hera; Ben/Kylo can stay dead post-TROS or not, but please do not kill off Rey, etc.), unrequested sexuality or gender headcanons, unrequested Force sensitivity headcanons, non-canon nicknames
Do not like: (Note: These are NOT DNWs. 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. This is a guide for what I'd prefer someone not to focus on or otherwise base a gift around, not a list of things I hate.) italics, non-canon swearing, world-building, Mando'a, military details, first person POV, focus on unrequested characters, epistolary format, IF, focus on grief/mourning, sexually submissive women, porn (I know! I'm know! but I'm not in the mindset to enjoy porn right now and would prefer a fade to black)
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: Sabine/Ahsoka, Flix/Orka, Yeager/Captain Doza/Venisa Doza, Hera/Yeager, Finn/Kaz, Finn/Ben|Kylo, Finn/Rose, Han/Leia, Han/Luke, Rex/Ahsoka, past Padme/Obi-Wan, past Padme/Anakin, past Ahsoka/Anakin, past Ahsoka/Padme
Omega & Hera
Omega/Hera
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. (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 also happy with them remaining platonic friends who stay in touch the rest of their lives via a series of letters and who meet up to help each other out from time to time. 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?")
Tam/Synara
I'm fascinated by Tam's gradual fall into working for the First Order, and my deepest regret about the show ending was not getting to see her pick herself up after the dust settled, having to deal with the things she did and choosing to go on every day.
Tam and Synara had gorgeous chemistry together early on, and I remain sad that the show dropped the ball later. They bonded early, and Tam even consented to spend leisure time with Kaz to get to hang out with Synara. Synara fought against her own shipmates to save Tam! They are due a reckoning after the events of the show, forced missions together, or even a quest of their own post-TROS that brings them together. Maybe after the war, Tam strikes out on her own as a pilot for hire, or finds work as a mechanic on the racing circuit, and meets up with Synara again a few years down the road. What I would love more than anything for these two is for them to work past the lying, the betrayals, and the hurt, and move on together. Maybe they don't speak for a year and find each other again after the war, or maybe they decide the Colossus is too small to keep their distance. Or an AU where Tam went into racing and she meets Synara on some romantic (or horrible) planet and they have space lesbian adventures together.
Tam & Synara & Torra & Rey & Rose
All I am saying is that a post-Exegol cool down / slumber party / impromptu mission to a newly-discovered Sith Temple / race / creepy invitation to the head of Crimson Dawn's private planet to meet with Qi'ra about trade terms would be great to see with these characters all together.
Rey/Ben|Kylo
Rey/Ben|Kylo & Finn/Poe
Rey/Ben/Finn/Poe
I am here for fix-its where Ben doesn't die. I am here for stories where he does and hangs out as a snotty Force ghost only Rey can see or only Rey and Finn can see (and Poe is mad about that). I am here for Force ghost sex, and Force ghost fucking back to life. I am here for canon-divergence AUs where nothing was the same except they are all themselves and Ben is still a disaster human. Maybe instead of Jakku, Rey's parents brought her to Luke's school to protect her. Maybe Finn was another student there already. (Please keep his name Finn.) Maybe Kylo doesn't kill Han and he goes back home with him during TFA, and everything is still hard because of everything he did before then. Maybe the road back to becoming Ben is difficult but Rey and Finn drag him kicking and screaming the whole way. Maybe Ben survives TROS but now he has to deal with the ghosts of his family nagging him whenever he risks sliding back into his old ways, not to mention all those war crimes charges. Maybe canon diverges after TLJ and Kylo has to work together with Rey, Finn, and Poe to defeat a common enemy. Maybe canon diverges and Rey does take Kylo up on one of his many offers to join him and Finn and Poe lead the last desperate Resistance cell standing against them. Maybe Rey and Kylo have messy Force-skype sex between threats. Maybe things somehow all work out and they wind up traveling the stars together, Jedi going out into the galaxy to help people one by one. Functional polyamory! Amusingly dysfunctional polyamory! (Bonus points for throwing Jacen in, either as a fifth spoke in the polywheel because why not, or as Poe's overdramatic ex who shows up at the worst possible time to fuck up Poe's current romantic prospects and/or military plans.)
Luke/Leia/Han
Luke/Leia
Nothing beats the original trio in my heart. They've been ride or die for one another ever since Artoo showed Luke that hologram, even Han by the end of the first film. I can't get enough of their lives together, crashing into one another, refusing to give up on each other even against impossible odds and bitter foes. And one day they did give up, because of their child, and oh the angst with that. I'd love to see their time together in the Rebellion, as friends or lovers or moving back and forth across that line. (I ship the component parts of the trio, too, and I'm fine with any of them as an endgame, but would prefer not to focus solely on Han/Leia or Han/Luke.) I want to see them together after the war, trying to raise Ben together. Maybe an AU where nothing goes wrong, where they figure out what's going wrong with him early and help him through, or maybe the story about the slow crawl towards the canon events despite everything. I'm also fine with a rewrite of the Sequel era where they all live all the way through. I want all the happy times before the family reveal. I want all the angsty history post-ROTJ. Luke Denying his feelings. Leia denying hers. The times denying those feelings failed. Han wanting the two people he loves most in the galaxy never ever to leave him. Accidental marriage via alien customs, with or without having to consummate it to the satisfaction of said aliens. Public poly marriage without telling anyone Luke and Leia are siblings. Secret poly marriage because the public knows they're twins. Han and Leia are married, but Luke spends every night in their bed.
Luke/Ezra
Luke/Leia/Ezra
Luke & Leia & Ezra
I love the idea of Luke and Ezra running into each other after the war, both of them equally messed up from their experiences and finding a kindred spirit. If they bicker constantly due to conflicting world views while growing to respect each other's POV, this is a bonus. Does Ezra help Luke set up the new Jedi school, or does he think it's a terrible idea because Jedi should be taught 1:1 the way he was? Do they take a while to meet, each getting sick of hearing about the other's exploits until they're finally in the same room and decide 'Hey, he's not so bad and he's kind of cute, too.'? Do they go on Jedi-adjacent missions together (with or without Ahsoka)? I'm here for it.
Force triplet pile (with or without Han)! AU where Ezra doesn't go off with Thrawn and the three of them are young, horny people in the Rebellion who do as young horny people often do. Getting together later, when they've all seen a little too much and it's nice to have somewhere there who really can read your mind. Gen ideas: it's nice to have someone out there who understands what it's like to be you, and even if the three of them disagree about Jedi stuff, sometimes it's nice to meet up for drinks and talk, or HoloSkype when the padawans are being annoying, or Leia wants a known Jedi with her for a negotiation and takes one of them but the other can't stay off the comms to "help" with advice. Maybe an AU where Ezra didn't leave and how they bicker their way into winning the war together, or how Leia introduced him to her brother after he gets home. Maybe the three of them set up the new Jedi school instead of Luke doing it alone, and everything turns out better, and nothing hurts. Hanging with Grogu. Arguing whose Padawan is the best. (Voe needs a teacher, and Leia is RIGHT THERE.) Han and Ben are welcome to show up, and any characters from Rise of Kylo Ren, or OCs.
Poe Dameron/Jacen Syndulla
I am endlessly amused by the possibilities here. Technically they haven't met in canon yet. I am convinced they 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.
Rey/Jacen Syndulla
Rey & Jacen Syndulla
I am amused by the idea that these two could meet post-TROS and start spending time together Because Jedi, and people make assumptions which may or may not be accurate, and Finn and Poe aren't jealous but are both "WTF?" about what they think is happening, and they're speculating she's having a rebound fling after Ben, and Ben's ghost may be hanging out with Opinions About This Situation, and Rose is no help because all she wants to do is ask Rey "Is ALL his hair green?" and some of the younger Resistance members like Kaydel and Kaz think Jacen's cool while the older Rebels like Lando and Wedge are happy to remind him they changed his diapers a lot, and Hera sees through this and teases Jacen anyway about giving her some grandchildren, and Rey is fed up with her friends once again being a little too interested in her potential love life, and Jacen is always up for trolling his old friend (ex-bf?) Poe, and whether or not either one catches feelings is less important than how much fun they're having messing with everyone. This could be hilarious, is what I am trying to express.
Depa & Mace & Kanan | Caleb
- A surprise reunion circa New Hope where everyone lives, and this is great, but also Kanan's had a very interesting life in the interim and it's time to meet the family.
- No Order 66 AU where Caleb grows up as a Jedi, and Depa trains him all the way to knighthood with Mace there to offer advice and a helping hand. Maybe an adventure the three of them go on together, either when Caleb is a teen, or after he's a full adult with them.
- No Order 66 AU, same thing, but Ezra finds his way to the Temple and Because The Force he joins the same Jedi family.
Ben Solo & Tai & Voe & Hennix & Grogu & Jacen Syndulla
All I want from my life is various iterations of Luke Skywalker having to deal with a pile of grody superpowered teenagers (and whatever life stage Grogu is, could be Yoda-version of a teen, could still be a toddler, run with whatever you want - Grogu or Jacen or both can be the kid who shows up for two weeks every year for Jedi Summer Camp if you prefer). There will be arguments and power struggles and first crushes and jealousy, and I love it all. If you want to make it AU and put Rey and/or Finn and/or Jannah in there as students too, that's fine; I don't care much about the timeline and do abide by the Rule of Funny. Also Luke can be off-screen for the entire work or can be heavily involved playing both teacher and referee, either's fine. Maybe he has to leave the students alone for a few days while he's off on another quest with Lor San Tekka or acting as Leia's bodyguard for a particularly difficult situation, and Ben can deal with the angst that he's not there with his mom and is stuck here with the other kids. The kids get stuck in a time loop. The kids are learning meditation and one of them accidentally unleashes a Dark Being From Beyond Time and Master Luke is going to be really mad if they tell him so they agree to the terrible idea of not telling him and deal with it themselves. Luke decides the Jedi are supposed to be graceful diplomats and takes them on a mission to some posh get-together and this turns out exactly as badly as you would expect. Bringing in other characters like Han, Leia, Din, Ezra, Hera, or Poe would be very welcome. (Please no Force-sensitive Din, Poe, or Hera. I love them the way they are.)
Grogu & Ben|Kylo
I will never, ever, ever, ever tire of "Kylo Ben: The Galaxy's Grumpiest Babysitter." Grogu has the Force and the Power of Cute. Ben is no match for this. Or, awkward playdates when Ben is five because OMG, awkward playdates are the best.
Poe & Ben & Jacen
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.
Zeb/Kallus & Kanan/Hera
Double date gone wrong. Double date gone surprisingly right. Pairing off with opposite number to complain about their better half. An actual good moment for once. An AU after the war where everybody lives and they're all figuring out what to do with the rest of their lives now.
Jacen & Kanan
Hera/Kanan
Hera/Kanan & Jacen
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 team is welcome to play significant roles in the story.
- 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?
- Post-canon angst!
- 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.
- Jacen accidentally time-travels (because the Force) to when Kanan is still an alcoholic loser, and has to hide who he is while making sure his father gets to Gorse on time.
- Jacen accidentally time-travels to when Kanan is fifteen and in desperate need of a caring adult in his life, and Jacen is stuck between wanting to take him in and care for him and knowing what his dad has to go through to get to be the person he will end up becoming.
Rex/Hera
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.)
Hera & Sabine
Kanan/Hera & Sabine
I loved watching Hera and Sabine's relationship grow over the course of the show. Sabine was the first kid Hera and Kanan tried to raise before they picked up Ezra. What kinds of growing pains did they all go through together, considering how hands-off they needed to be with her? Sabine has trust issues and Hera is the reigning queen of keeping secrets. I would love to see the early days of their time together when Sabine first joined the crew, or when she's learning to trust Hera circa Season One and how that plays into their deeper ties with the Rebellion. I'd also love to see something set post-canon. Maybe Sabine doesn't want kids of her own but is happy to be the Cool Aunt/Big Sis figure Hera can lean on when she needs help, and Hera can be Sabine's shoulder when things get hard for her.
Sabine was on Lothal when we saw her last, but what about the time between Lothal's liberation and ANH? I'd love a fic exploring Sabine helping Hera through her pregnancy, and the emotional toll it takes on them both. I like the friendship they grew over the course of the show and would like a focus on that bond. Fine with Zeb, Kallus, Rex, etc to show up as support, too.
Ketsu/Sabine
I love the depth of history glimpsed between these two. Nothing says "first broken heart" like "you left me for dead." Who convinced who to go bounty hunting? Did they leave the Imperial Academy together, or was Ketsu the voice under Sabine's window encouraging her. Do they get together during or after the war? I am okay with breakup fic for the pairing as long as the story itself focuses more on their time together.
Jeans Guy
This guy is clearly a Jedi, maybe one of the most powerful ever seen. He managed to erase his own appearance from subsequent broadcasts of the episode! Who is this guy? What is he doing hanging out on this old Imperial base? Is there a weird Force connection on this planet that drew him there at the same time Din and the gang were working?
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.

Do not want: noncon, scat, watersports, omegaverse, sexual activity for anyone under 15 (kissing is fine) unrequested ships except as mentioned, non-canon AUs such as coffeeshops, DNW permanent character death of any canon characters except those who died in canon (ex: Kanan can stay dead or not, but please do not kill off Hera; Ben/Kylo can stay dead post-TROS or not, but please do not kill off Rey, etc.), unrequested sexuality or gender headcanons, unrequested Force sensitivity headcanons, non-canon nicknames

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. (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 also happy with them remaining platonic friends who stay in touch the rest of their lives via a series of letters and who meet up to help each other out from time to time. 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?")
Tam/Synara
I'm fascinated by Tam's gradual fall into working for the First Order, and my deepest regret about the show ending was not getting to see her pick herself up after the dust settled, having to deal with the things she did and choosing to go on every day.
Tam and Synara had gorgeous chemistry together early on, and I remain sad that the show dropped the ball later. They bonded early, and Tam even consented to spend leisure time with Kaz to get to hang out with Synara. Synara fought against her own shipmates to save Tam! They are due a reckoning after the events of the show, forced missions together, or even a quest of their own post-TROS that brings them together. Maybe after the war, Tam strikes out on her own as a pilot for hire, or finds work as a mechanic on the racing circuit, and meets up with Synara again a few years down the road. What I would love more than anything for these two is for them to work past the lying, the betrayals, and the hurt, and move on together. Maybe they don't speak for a year and find each other again after the war, or maybe they decide the Colossus is too small to keep their distance. Or an AU where Tam went into racing and she meets Synara on some romantic (or horrible) planet and they have space lesbian adventures together.
Tam & Synara & Torra & Rey & Rose
All I am saying is that a post-Exegol cool down / slumber party / impromptu mission to a newly-discovered Sith Temple / race / creepy invitation to the head of Crimson Dawn's private planet to meet with Qi'ra about trade terms would be great to see with these characters all together.

Rey/Ben|Kylo & Finn/Poe
Rey/Ben/Finn/Poe
I am here for fix-its where Ben doesn't die. I am here for stories where he does and hangs out as a snotty Force ghost only Rey can see or only Rey and Finn can see (and Poe is mad about that). I am here for Force ghost sex, and Force ghost fucking back to life. I am here for canon-divergence AUs where nothing was the same except they are all themselves and Ben is still a disaster human.

Maybe the road back to becoming Ben is difficult but Rey and Finn drag him kicking and screaming the whole way. Maybe Ben survives TROS but now he has to deal with the ghosts of his family nagging him whenever he risks sliding back into his old ways, not to mention all those war crimes charges. Maybe canon diverges after TLJ and Kylo has to work together with Rey, Finn, and Poe to defeat a common enemy. Maybe canon diverges and Rey does take Kylo up on one of his many offers to join him and Finn and Poe lead the last desperate Resistance cell standing against them. Maybe Rey and Kylo have messy Force-skype sex between threats.

Luke Denying his feelings. Leia denying hers. The times denying those feelings failed. Han wanting the two people he loves most in the galaxy never ever to leave him. Accidental marriage via alien customs, with or without having to consummate it to the satisfaction of said aliens. Public poly marriage without telling anyone Luke and Leia are siblings. Secret poly marriage because the public knows they're twins. Han and Leia are married, but Luke spends every night in their bed.
Luke/Ezra
Luke/Leia/Ezra
Luke & Leia & Ezra
I love the idea of Luke and Ezra running into each other after the war, both of them equally messed up from their experiences and finding a kindred spirit. If they bicker constantly due to conflicting world views while growing to respect each other's POV, this is a bonus. Does Ezra help Luke set up the new Jedi school, or does he think it's a terrible idea because Jedi should be taught 1:1 the way he was? Do they take a while to meet, each getting sick of hearing about the other's exploits until they're finally in the same room and decide 'Hey, he's not so bad and he's kind of cute, too.'? Do they go on Jedi-adjacent missions together (with or without Ahsoka)? I'm here for it.
Force triplet pile (with or without Han)! AU where Ezra doesn't go off with Thrawn and the three of them are young, horny people in the Rebellion who do as young horny people often do. Getting together later, when they've all seen a little too much and it's nice to have somewhere there who really can read your mind. Gen ideas: it's nice to have someone out there who understands what it's like to be you, and even if the three of them disagree about Jedi stuff, sometimes it's nice to meet up for drinks and talk, or HoloSkype when the padawans are being annoying, or Leia wants a known Jedi with her for a negotiation and takes one of them but the other can't stay off the comms to "help" with advice. Maybe an AU where Ezra didn't leave and how they bicker their way into winning the war together, or how Leia introduced him to her brother after he gets home. Maybe the three of them set up the new Jedi school instead of Luke doing it alone, and everything turns out better, and nothing hurts. Hanging with Grogu. Arguing whose Padawan is the best. (Voe needs a teacher, and Leia is RIGHT THERE.) Han and Ben are welcome to show up, and any characters from Rise of Kylo Ren, or OCs.
Poe Dameron/Jacen Syndulla
I am endlessly amused by the possibilities here. Technically they haven't met in canon yet. I am convinced they 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.
Rey/Jacen Syndulla
Rey & Jacen Syndulla
I am amused by the idea that these two could meet post-TROS and start spending time together Because Jedi, and people make assumptions which may or may not be accurate, and Finn and Poe aren't jealous but are both "WTF?" about what they think is happening, and they're speculating she's having a rebound fling after Ben, and Ben's ghost may be hanging out with Opinions About This Situation, and Rose is no help because all she wants to do is ask Rey "Is ALL his hair green?" and some of the younger Resistance members like Kaydel and Kaz think Jacen's cool while the older Rebels like Lando and Wedge are happy to remind him they changed his diapers a lot, and Hera sees through this and teases Jacen anyway about giving her some grandchildren, and Rey is fed up with her friends once again being a little too interested in her potential love life, and Jacen is always up for trolling his old friend (ex-bf?) Poe, and whether or not either one catches feelings is less important than how much fun they're having messing with everyone. This could be hilarious, is what I am trying to express.
Depa & Mace & Kanan | Caleb
- A surprise reunion circa New Hope where everyone lives, and this is great, but also Kanan's had a very interesting life in the interim and it's time to meet the family.
- No Order 66 AU where Caleb grows up as a Jedi, and Depa trains him all the way to knighthood with Mace there to offer advice and a helping hand. Maybe an adventure the three of them go on together, either when Caleb is a teen, or after he's a full adult with them.
- No Order 66 AU, same thing, but Ezra finds his way to the Temple and Because The Force he joins the same Jedi family.
Ben Solo & Tai & Voe & Hennix & Grogu & Jacen Syndulla
All I want from my life is various iterations of Luke Skywalker having to deal with a pile of grody superpowered teenagers (and whatever life stage Grogu is, could be Yoda-version of a teen, could still be a toddler, run with whatever you want - Grogu or Jacen or both can be the kid who shows up for two weeks every year for Jedi Summer Camp if you prefer). There will be arguments and power struggles and first crushes and jealousy, and I love it all. If you want to make it AU and put Rey and/or Finn and/or Jannah in there as students too, that's fine; I don't care much about the timeline and do abide by the Rule of Funny. Also Luke can be off-screen for the entire work or can be heavily involved playing both teacher and referee, either's fine. Maybe he has to leave the students alone for a few days while he's off on another quest with Lor San Tekka or acting as Leia's bodyguard for a particularly difficult situation, and Ben can deal with the angst that he's not there with his mom and is stuck here with the other kids. The kids get stuck in a time loop. The kids are learning meditation and one of them accidentally unleashes a Dark Being From Beyond Time and Master Luke is going to be really mad if they tell him so they agree to the terrible idea of not telling him and deal with it themselves. Luke decides the Jedi are supposed to be graceful diplomats and takes them on a mission to some posh get-together and this turns out exactly as badly as you would expect. Bringing in other characters like Han, Leia, Din, Ezra, Hera, or Poe would be very welcome. (Please no Force-sensitive Din, Poe, or Hera. I love them the way they are.)
Grogu & Ben|Kylo
I will never, ever, ever, ever tire of "Kylo Ben: The Galaxy's Grumpiest Babysitter." Grogu has the Force and the Power of Cute. Ben is no match for this. Or, awkward playdates when Ben is five because OMG, awkward playdates are the best.
Poe & Ben & Jacen
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.
Zeb/Kallus & Kanan/Hera
Double date gone wrong. Double date gone surprisingly right. Pairing off with opposite number to complain about their better half. An actual good moment for once. An AU after the war where everybody lives and they're all figuring out what to do with the rest of their lives now.
Jacen & Kanan
Hera/Kanan
Hera/Kanan & Jacen
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 team is welcome to play significant roles in the story.
- 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?
- Post-canon angst!
- 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.
- Jacen accidentally time-travels (because the Force) to when Kanan is still an alcoholic loser, and has to hide who he is while making sure his father gets to Gorse on time.
- Jacen accidentally time-travels to when Kanan is fifteen and in desperate need of a caring adult in his life, and Jacen is stuck between wanting to take him in and care for him and knowing what his dad has to go through to get to be the person he will end up becoming.
Rex/Hera
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.)
Hera & Sabine
Kanan/Hera & Sabine
I loved watching Hera and Sabine's relationship grow over the course of the show. Sabine was the first kid Hera and Kanan tried to raise before they picked up Ezra. What kinds of growing pains did they all go through together, considering how hands-off they needed to be with her? Sabine has trust issues and Hera is the reigning queen of keeping secrets. I would love to see the early days of their time together when Sabine first joined the crew, or when she's learning to trust Hera circa Season One and how that plays into their deeper ties with the Rebellion. I'd also love to see something set post-canon. Maybe Sabine doesn't want kids of her own but is happy to be the Cool Aunt/Big Sis figure Hera can lean on when she needs help, and Hera can be Sabine's shoulder when things get hard for her.
Sabine was on Lothal when we saw her last, but what about the time between Lothal's liberation and ANH? I'd love a fic exploring Sabine helping Hera through her pregnancy, and the emotional toll it takes on them both. I like the friendship they grew over the course of the show and would like a focus on that bond. Fine with Zeb, Kallus, Rex, etc to show up as support, too.
Ketsu/Sabine
I love the depth of history glimpsed between these two. Nothing says "first broken heart" like "you left me for dead." Who convinced who to go bounty hunting? Did they leave the Imperial Academy together, or was Ketsu the voice under Sabine's window encouraging her. Do they get together during or after the war? I am okay with breakup fic for the pairing as long as the story itself focuses more on their time together.
Jeans Guy
This guy is clearly a Jedi, maybe one of the most powerful ever seen. He managed to erase his own appearance from subsequent broadcasts of the episode! Who is this guy? What is he doing hanging out on this old Imperial base? Is there a weird Force connection on this planet that drew him there at the same time Din and the gang were working?
