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. 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, PWP, 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.
You can add Grogu to any prompt I've requested as long as his scenes remain rated PG or below. 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, 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)
Do not want: noncon (dubcon is fine), scat, watersports, omegaverse, sexual activity for anyone under 15 (kissing is fine) unrequested ships except as mentioned, focus on unrequested characters (if the character is important enough to the story to be tagged and I haven't mentioned them in my signup or letter, this is too large a part for that character in a gift for me), non-canon AUs such as coffeeshops or Modern AUs, 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, frame stories unless both parts involve groups of my requested characters, stories where half the requested pairing (platonic or romantic) only shows up at the very end
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, epistolary format, interactive fiction, 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.), ambiguous and open endings, extensive references to Legends/video games/unrequested EU novels (small references and Easter Eggs are great, anything that hinges on my knowing unrequested Character X from Legends Novel Y will make a better gift for someone else), erasure of canonical disabilities (AUs where Luke never fought Vader on Bespin and never lost his hand are fine, stories where Kanan still has his sight after Malachor are not)
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/Ketsu, Zeb/Kallus, Flix/Orka, Yeager/Captain Doza/Venisa Doza, Hera/Yeager, Rey/Ben|Kylo, Finn/Kaz, Finn/Ben|Kylo, Finn/Rose, Ezra/Luke, Han/Luke/Leia, Luke/Leia, Han/Leia, Han/Luke, past Han/Qi'ra, Rex/Ahsoka, Din/Bo-Katan, past Padme/Obi-Wan, past Padme/Anakin, past Ahsoka/Anakin, past Ahsoka/Padme
The thing I love best in ships is when the characters are best friends who fuck. I also love both banter and seeing characters with major differences have equally valid points to their side of the argument, and despite it all are ride or die for each other. I also love the fluffy happy moments between disasters. I love the first moment when it strikes them that oh no they have feelings. I love the second moment when it strikes them that oh no this is going to be a disaster, too.
Ongoing canon note: I am keeping up with The Bad Batch as it airs. Feel free to incorporate or ignore new canon developments as you choose.
I am happy with wherever you want to go on Force Sensitive Omega / not Force Sensitive Omega.
Omega & Ezra Bridger
I want very much to see Omega and Ezra pet all the animals. Maybe the Batch drops by Lothal when he's little and sets him on the path to animal petting for all. Maybe there's an AU where he doesn't go off with Thrawn and instead meets this legendary clone who's friends with Hera, and she's like, hey kid, want to pet an Rancor? Or even after he gets home from his summer vacation and here's Hera's new girlfriend trying to win him over with a new puppy that happens to be twelve feet tall and has wings. Pet all the things!
Omega & Wrecker
Their relationship gives me life. I will take a million vignettes about their interactions, about how she grows up and he grows old, and they both remain young at heart. Maybe a list of things Omega and Wrecker are no longer allowed to do together because they drive Hunter crazy when they do. I love that he trusts her completely.
Omega & Crosshair
I didn't know I needed this relationship until it was in front of me being the most delightful thing in the world. Crosshair's gruff annoyance with Omega's sunny disposition, and how they tease and push and pull at each other. How she's running the missions and he's fine with that even as he grouches at her about her decisions. I would love a missing adventure or two between their escape and when they meet up with Wrecker and Hunter again. Maybe they need dinner, maybe Batcher needs walkies, maybe they run into trouble as usual when they do.
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. (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?")
99 & Omega
Omega and 99 would have been contemporaries. Was he a failed attempt at another enhanced clone? Did he know who she was? I'd love a scene of the two of them talking together, both confined on Kamino and neither really with the vocabulary necessary to understand their imprisonment.
Kanan Jarrus & Sabine Wren
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? What does she think about her adopted parents later when she's on her own?
Ahsoka Tano/Sabine Wren
Space lesbians on a quest! Everyone knows the point of a quest story is the journey and the discovery of the characters' own true inner selves, right? I want to know about all their adventures together: following clues, exploring possible places Ezra and Thrawn wound up, side quests to convenient old Jedi temples, running into Aphra or Qi'ra! Show the hinted at lightsaber training! (Naked lightsaber training?) Do they pretend to be married on one planet for reasons? Does Sabine build an awesome Machine that causes them unforeseen plot problems? Does Barriss show up and cause trouble / make Sabine realize her True Feelings? Does Ketsu, and same? (Bonus for actual shipping there. I'm fine with either going back to her ex and the other one being happy for her despite knowing exactly how much baggage is there.)
I loved "Ahsoka." Feel free to incorporate as much as you'd like, or ignore what you'd rather ignore.
Tam Ryvora/Synara San
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.
Tamara Ryvora & Synara San & Sabine Wren & Rey
All I am saying is that a post-Exegol cool down / slumber party / impromptu mission to a newly-discovered Sith Temple / pod 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. Feel free to let Rose in on the shenanigans. I am fine with Kaz and the Resistance gang showing up, too, and if Poe and Finn want to be there, go for it but please keep the focus of this request on the characters in the tag.
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.
Kanan Jarrus/Hera Syndulla
Kanan Jarrus/Hera Syndulla & 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.
This doesn't fit in the DNW list properly, but please no having Hera be insecure about her appearance during/after pregnancy, please no Kanan wishing they didn't have kids, and please no "the team rented a house on Lothal/Ryloth years before RotJ" plots. Thanks.
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.
Chopper & Hera Syndulla
Kanan might be the great love of Hera's life but Chopper is her life partner. They've been friends since she was a kid. How much did they change each other over the years? Does Chopper ever worry she's going to abandon him? Does Hera ever consider her bestie might also be the galaxy's worst nanny droid? What was their time together like before she picked up the alcoholic drifter? How do they bounce off each other during the war when Zeb and Kallus are babysitting Jacen on another planet and it's just the two of them again?
Kanan Jarrus & Zaluna Myder
I would love to see these two spend some time together post-Twilight of the Apprentice. Zal has been living without her sight for years by this point. Kanan was a bit lost even back when they first met. It would be interesting for her to find out what's happened since, especially after his big coming out party at the start of Rebels. Or, maybe Kanan and Hera had another adventure with Zal before Rebels, coming by to visit her after a few years and getting in trouble with the Empire all over again.
Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo
Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rey
This request can be summed up with Disaster Trio (And Friends!) I have loved the OT trio since I was a kid, and I love how intensely they are in love with each other even from the start. I love their banter and their loyalty. I love Han's broken heart when Luke's name comes up in TFA and I love the expression on Luke's face when Artoo replays Leia's first message in TLJ. Fix-its are fine. AUs where nothing went wrong are fine. Canon compliant angst where everything did go wrong are fine. Stories where the three of them raised Ben the best they could, and maybe it turned out okay and maybe the galaxy burned, all fine.
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 & Finn & Rey & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
Rey/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren & Finn/Rose Tico & Poe Dameron/Jacen Syndulla
Poe Dameron/Finn/Rey/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Jacen Syndulla
Post-Exegol cleanup and nothing is easy when you don't manage to die for your redemption. 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. 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. I am here for Ben Lives! AUs where things are hard when he goes back with Rey after the end of the movie, and Poe and Finn have no reason to trust him except for their trust in Rey. Adventures after the end, big and small. 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. Functional polyamory! Amusingly dysfunctional polyamory! Throw 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.
Ezra Bridger/Luke Skywalker
Ezra Bridger/Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker
Ezra Bridger/Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo
Ezra getting home after Peridea: So get this: it was my first day in the Rebellion. I find out I'm a Jedi and also I get this huge crush on this girl who winds up being my sister.
Luke: Come sit by me.
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.
AU where Ezra doesn't go off with Thrawn and they're 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. 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 two of them and Leia 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.) Any characters from Rise of Kylo Ren or OCs are welcome to make an appearance as long as the focus is on the requested characters.
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.
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.

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, PWP, 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

Do not want: noncon (dubcon is fine), scat, watersports, omegaverse, sexual activity for anyone under 15 (kissing is fine) unrequested ships except as mentioned, focus on unrequested characters (if the character is important enough to the story to be tagged and I haven't mentioned them in my signup or letter, this is too large a part for that character in a gift for me), non-canon AUs such as coffeeshops or Modern AUs, 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, frame stories unless both parts involve groups of my requested characters, stories where half the requested pairing (platonic or romantic) only shows up at the very end

Hoth fic is great.), ambiguous and open endings, extensive references to Legends/video games/unrequested EU novels (small references and Easter Eggs are great, anything that hinges on my knowing unrequested Character X from Legends Novel Y will make a better gift for someone else), erasure of canonical disabilities (AUs where Luke never fought Vader on Bespin and never lost his hand are fine, stories where Kanan still has his sight after Malachor are not)
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/Ketsu, Zeb/Kallus, Flix/Orka, Yeager/Captain Doza/Venisa Doza, Hera/Yeager, Rey/Ben|Kylo, Finn/Kaz, Finn/Ben|Kylo, Finn/Rose, Ezra/Luke, Han/Luke/Leia, Luke/Leia, Han/Leia, Han/Luke, past Han/Qi'ra, Rex/Ahsoka, Din/Bo-Katan, past Padme/Obi-Wan, past Padme/Anakin, past Ahsoka/Anakin, past Ahsoka/Padme

(Bonus for actual shipping there. I'm fine with either going back to her ex and the other one being happy for her despite knowing exactly how much baggage is there.)
I loved "Ahsoka." Feel free to incorporate as much as you'd like, or ignore what you'd rather ignore.
Tam Ryvora/Synara San
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.
Tamara Ryvora & Synara San & Sabine Wren & Rey
All I am saying is that a post-Exegol cool down / slumber party / impromptu mission to a newly-discovered Sith Temple / pod 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. Feel free to let Rose in on the shenanigans. I am fine with Kaz and the Resistance gang showing up, too, and if Poe and Finn want to be there, go for it but please keep the focus of this request on the characters in the tag.
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.
Kanan Jarrus/Hera Syndulla
Kanan Jarrus/Hera Syndulla & 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.
This doesn't fit in the DNW list properly, but please no having Hera be insecure about her appearance during/after pregnancy, please no Kanan wishing they didn't have kids, and please no "the team rented a house on Lothal/Ryloth years before RotJ" plots. Thanks.
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.
Chopper & Hera Syndulla
Kanan might be the great love of Hera's life but Chopper is her life partner. They've been friends since she was a kid. How much did they change each other over the years? Does Chopper ever worry she's going to abandon him? Does Hera ever consider her bestie might also be the galaxy's worst nanny droid? What was their time together like before she picked up the alcoholic drifter? How do they bounce off each other during the war when Zeb and Kallus are babysitting Jacen on another planet and it's just the two of them again?
Kanan Jarrus & Zaluna Myder
I would love to see these two spend some time together post-Twilight of the Apprentice. Zal has been living without her sight for years by this point. Kanan was a bit lost even back when they first met. It would be interesting for her to find out what's happened since, especially after his big coming out party at the start of Rebels. Or, maybe Kanan and Hera had another adventure with Zal before Rebels, coming by to visit her after a few years and getting in trouble with the Empire all over again.
Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo
Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rey
This request can be summed up with Disaster Trio (And Friends!) I have loved the OT trio since I was a kid, and I love how intensely they are in love with each other even from the start. I love their banter and their loyalty. I love Han's broken heart when Luke's name comes up in TFA and I love the expression on Luke's face when Artoo replays Leia's first message in TLJ. Fix-its are fine. AUs where nothing went wrong are fine. Canon compliant angst where everything did go wrong are fine. Stories where the three of them raised Ben the best they could, and maybe it turned out okay and maybe the galaxy burned, all fine.
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 & Finn & Rey & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
Rey/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren & Finn/Rose Tico & Poe Dameron/Jacen Syndulla
Poe Dameron/Finn/Rey/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Jacen Syndulla
Post-Exegol cleanup and nothing is easy when you don't manage to die for your redemption. 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. 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. I am here for Ben Lives! AUs where things are hard when he goes back with Rey after the end of the movie, and Poe and Finn have no reason to trust him except for their trust in Rey. Adventures after the end, big and small. 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. Functional polyamory! Amusingly dysfunctional polyamory! Throw 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.
Ezra Bridger/Luke Skywalker
Ezra Bridger/Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker
Ezra Bridger/Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo
Ezra getting home after Peridea: So get this: it was my first day in the Rebellion. I find out I'm a Jedi and also I get this huge crush on this girl who winds up being my sister.
Luke: Come sit by me.
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.
AU where Ezra doesn't go off with Thrawn and they're 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. 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 two of them and Leia 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.) Any characters from Rise of Kylo Ren or OCs are welcome to make an appearance as long as the focus is on the requested characters.
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.
