ambiguityisnoonesfriendSome 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!
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: Zeb/Kallus, Sabine/Ahsoka, Flix/Orka, Yeager/Captain Doza/Venisa Doza, Hera/Yeager,Hera/Rex, Rey/Kylo, Finn/Kaz, Finn/Kylo, Finn/Rose, Finn/Rey/Kylo, Han/Luke/Leia, Han/Leia, Han/Luke, Rex/Ahsoka, past Padme/Obi-Wan, past Padme/Anakin, past Ahsoka/Anakin, past Ahsoka/Padme
SW: The Bad Batch
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?")
SW: Resistance
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.
SW: Rebels
Hera/Kanan
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.
Ezra & Jacen
I am here for Ezra suddenly having to deal with a kid he's expected to train in the Force while muttering about how Jacen lacks all focus and discipline as everyone else laughs at him. Big bro-little bro bonding or snarking or both. I really just want to see these two spending time together. Time travel shenanigans where Jacen is the older one? Cool. Ezra is back ten minutes and has to babysit? Cool. A fic built entirely around the stories about Ezra that Jacen spent his childhood listening to with or without comparison to the real Ezra after he comes home? Awesome.
Crossover Fandom
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. 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.
- 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?
- 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 fine with a Poe/Finn endgame if you want to go there as long as there's plenty of Poe/Jacen backstory.)
- Maybe Jacen shows up right after the Battle of Exegol and feelings come back hard while the rest of Team Sequels is dealing with the aftermath. (Ben can be alive or a snarky Force Ghost or absent.)
- Rey is working out a way to bring Ben back while everyone else thinks this is a terrible plan, but Finn and Poe won't let her go it alone, and Jacen is like, "Ten thousand dead Jedi and you want to bring back this jerk?" Extra bonus points for Jacen and Ben having known each other forever and hating each other's guts. Even more points for them having to set that aside to help the people they care about. (Ben/Jacen as snippy exes is welcome in this era as well.)
Ezra Bridger/Luke Skywalker
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)?
- Do they run into Mando and Baby Yoda for an adventure, and neither party figures out who the other is (or maybe they do, Mando tries to hand over the baby and they're having none of that)?
- What about an AU where Ezra never disappeared? Everybody lives, and these two meet on Yavin 4 instead. Does Ezra train Luke? Are they instant besties or do they argue until they wind up screwing on Hoth?
Ezra Bridger & Luke Skywalker & Leia Organa
Force triplets! 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.
