Star Wars Rare Pairs Exchange 2022

Hello loveliest of creators,

Thanks for agreeing to write or draw me a thing! I'm really looking forward to it!

I do not want you to feel at all limited by the letter. I've come up with a few prompts I think might be interesting, but they are suggestions, one possible starting point. I'm very, very interested in your take on any of these, so write your heart out! Ignore the prompts entirely!

I'm copying and pasting some of this letter, so if you matched on a pairing for a different era than I have it listed in this letter, please rest assured that if I nominated it in that era, I want it! And if I said any, I mean any. I welcome fic for all eras, so long as it doesn't conflict with my DNWs.

Any rating is fine, from the hand-holdingiest of G to some hot and heavy E. For art, I'd prefer suggestive over explicit (for example: no genitalia, but hands under clothes or Conveniently Placed Items are fantastic).

Below are general likes (Writing, Art, and Smut) and then the pairings broken down by era/section of the universe. Listed with each pairing is what I like, a few story prompt ideas, an art-specific prompt, and an AU prompt that could (hopefully) work for either story or art. But really, this is all a big pool of inspiration - mix, match, throw it out the window and do your own thing!

Please feel free to use the links below to navigate your way around the letter easier!

Original Character Prompts

Do Not Wants

  • Sad/Unhappy ending (wistful or longing or ambiguous is welcome)
  • Kidfic (presence of children is fine, children characters are fine, but the focus shouldn't be on parenting/childrearing)
  • Characters in ships being, looking like or acting like children: DNW under 18 for humans and equivalence to adulthood in other species; 25+ preferred
  • Pregnancy/Mpreg in the main pairing (reference to the general pregnancy process or pregnant minor characters are fine)
  • Humiliation (in either a sexual or narrative context, my embarrassment squick is strong)
  • Noncon/Dubcon between requested pairing (explored character history of non/dubcon is okay, concerns that a situation is or could be non/dubcon is even a narrative beat I enjoy, but the actual relationship I would like to be consensual)
  • Ageplay or infantilization
  • Incest
  • Darkside AUs

Writing Likes

  • Canon-Divergent AUs: What if things had gone differently? There's so much rich depth in the SW universe, I love fics that explore the might-have-beens.
  • Setting Change AUs: I love an AU that shows some thought in drawing out canon parallels, lets me find the easter eggs of how Star Wars concepts are translated into day to day life. Modern, historical, fantastical AUs - all wonderful!
  • Bring your Fandom to Work - If you have personal expertise of a unique life experience, I welcome a fic that shows that off.
  • Competence Porn
  • Found Family
  • People being good to each other in hard or awkward situations
  • Banter, dialogue heavy stories
  • Food as Love and Connection and Care
  • Authorial Expertise and Interest - If you have personal expertise of a unique life experience, I welcome a fic that shows that off.
  • Alternative Texts and formats - epistolary, chatfic, interactive fiction, etc…
  • Older characters, or characters that age over the course of the story
  • Small gestures of intimacy - knowing a favorite food, the spot on their back that itches, putting on another person's cheer-me-up song…
  • Moments of rest and comfort in the middle of action and adventure
  • Pining/yearning - ideally mutual, and resolved by the end of the story
  • Polyamory Negotiations - as applicable, for my multi-partner ships I love people doing the careful work of figuring out how to all love each other, and what that looks like

Art Likes and Prompts

  • For art, I prefer no explicit genitalia, but everything from fully-clothed fluff right up to obvious sex with conveniently placed objects/sheets is welcomed and appreciated!
  • Whatever your style is, I'm excited to see it, black and white, funky colors, comic style, all welcome!
  • The characters in their own canon setting (a Jedi at the Jedi Temple, etc…)
  • The characters exploring a canon setting not their own
  • A quiet moment cuddling
  • A goofy "selfie" style
  • Symbolic Art - I'm not actually sure this is the right word for what I'm going for, but what I'm trying to get at is that I don't need a literal interpretation of the character. I welcome things like stylized pairs of Tarot cards, or strongly focused on objects that represent the characters
  • AU! - I'd love to see your take on a modern AU (what are the characters doing?), or a fantasy AU (gonna FIGHT A DRAGON?), cyberpunk, steampunk, 1920's-style Great Gatsby!verse, really, I'll probably enjoy it!
  • Fiberart, sculpture, cake decoration and other exciting mediums - Embroidery, crochet, polymer clay, I welcome high-quality photographs of physical objects created as art for this exchange.

Prequel Trilogy

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Owen Lars/Beru Whitesun

What I love: Owen and Beru save Obi-Wan from himself. Desert Hermit gets brought into a loving family. Baby Luke gets away with NOTHING and grows up with three parents.

Specific Prompts:

  • Tatooine is a dangerous place, Obi-Wan needs to step in to keep the Lars family safe...he finds it hard to leave, after that.
  • Tatooine is a dangerous place. Obi-Wan underestimated how hard it would be to survive here, and Owen and Beru need to step in to keep the dumb offworlder from killing himself.
  • Tatooine is a dangerous place...and a single man who knows how to take care of himself is a CATCH. Hermit Ben receives a steady stream of callers, much to his dismay. It's drawing too much attention. Owen and Beru offer him a spot in their marriage, so he can stay close but still under the radar.
  • Art Prompt: A cuddly moment with the family
  • AU Idea: Western. Obi-Wan is clearly a city-slicker trying to set up a little independent homestead, and Beru and Owen take pity on him and help him out.

Pairing-specific comment: Including Baby Luke (and Leia, depending on how AU you go) is an exception to my kidfic DNW. I would still prefer that parenting-related feelings not be the focus of the fic, it is okay if they feature more prominently here.

Also, as of writing this letter I have not watched the Kenobi series, however I do not mind spoilers for it, and I do not mind including characterization notes from it as well. Equally, feel free to disregard it entirely!

Bail Organa/Breha Organa/Obi-Wan Kenobi

What I love: Space Royalty and their Jedi Lover! A loving couple adopts a lonely man.

Specific Prompts:

  • Pre-Order 66, Obi-Wan spends some time on Alderaan, just taking a break.
  • Pre-Order 66, Breha askes Obi-Wan to look after Bail in Coruscant, she's worried he's working too hard, and he could really use a break...
  • Post-Order 66, Obi-Wan goes to Alderaan, and Bail and Breha come up with a better plan for his future than hiding in the desert…
  • Art Prompts: Clothing porn! I'd love to see some royal frippery here. How do they disguise Obi-Wan for court?
  • AU Prompt: Could be very fun to do a Vaguely Historical Royalty AU with this - Obi-Wan as a political refugee?

Pairing-specific comment: Including Baby Leia (and Luke, depending on how AU you go) is an exception to my kidfic DNW. I would still prefer that parenting-related feelings not be the major plot of the fic, it is okay if they feature more prominently here.

Also, as of writing this letter I have not watched the Kenobi series, however I do not mind spoilers for it, and I do not mind including characterization notes from it as well. Equally, feel free to disregard it entirely!

Bail Organa/Breha Organa

What I love: Space Royalty! Arranged marriage slowly turning into love! Duty and obligation and love across long distances. Space Politics!

Specific Prompts:

  • Tell me about the early days of their arranged marriage, how they moved from being friends to falling in love.
  • Give me the two of them competently navigating difficult space politics - either domestic on Alderaan, or trying to find a way through the Empire.
  • A Bail and Breha (and maybe all of Alderaan) survives AU! How did it happen, and what part do they play with the full-on Rebellion?
  • Art Prompt: Dancing! I figure Alderaan's got to have some formal dances. Or maybe a quieter moment, stolen just for the two of them.
  • AU Prompt: A Modern Royalty AU that kept the arranged marriage backstory would be really fun.

Back to Top

Rogue One

Cassian Andor/Jyn Erso/Bodhi Rook

What I love: They fill in the gaps with each other - Bodhi finds honesty and openness easier, Jyn has a fierceness and fire, Cassian brings loyalty and self-sacrifice.

Specific Prompts:

  • Give me any version of two of them being an established couple with a massive shared crush
  • All of them have issues with intimacy/letting people in, how do they work through that with each other?
  • Mission fic! The three of them are just tearing stuff up and having a good time.
  • Art Prompt: In a shuttle cockpit, enjoying each other's company. Something like - two in the pilot/co-pilot seat, and the third one touching both their shoulders. Or all pointing at something and oohing.
  • AU Prompt: I just think Rogue One in the Wild West would be lovely - the three of them riding off into the sunset, or setting up a homestead.

Pairing-specific DNW: Any dynamic where two are the "primary" partnership, and the third one is a secondary partner

Jyn Erso/Bodhi Rook

What I love: They have Galen as this complicated link between them, and I think it would be really interesting to see it explored more! There's a lot of pain, but also room for a lot of love. I also love that they have the potential to really look out for each other - Bodhi appreciating Jyn's ferocity and Jyn drawing out Bodhi's confidence.

Specific Prompts

  • A stolen moment pre-Scarif, where two scared and tired people find comfort in each other
  • They both live, but one or both are injured, and the other feels guilty
  • That sweet sweet competence porn, surprising each other with their skills
  • Art Prompt: Cooking together! Maybe Badly? Jyn is more survival-oriented and Bodhi has had a cafeteria for most of his life, so I imagine they're learning.
  • AU Idea: Oh my god they were roomates! Modern AU, new college grads rooming together to save money figuring things out.

Davits Draven/Antoc Merrick

What I love: Spymaster and the Hotshot, there's just something compelling about that combination. I love the space they exist in too, that pre-ANH time where the baby rebellion is still finding its feet.

Specific Prompts:

  • They met when they were both much younger, Republic Intelligence sending Draven on a mission where he runs into the young Defense Force pilot Merrick
  • Draven makes a call that Merrick disagrees with - how do they resolve it?
  • Draven is a skittish ball of overly-paranoid spy right after he defects from the Empire. Merrick is determined to make friends.
  • Art Prompt: One working late, the other bringing caf
  • AU Prompt: I mean Merrick's mustache really makes me want an old-school RAF wartime AU - Merrick the dashing pilot, Draven the quiet spy handler.

Back to Top

Original Trilogy

Lando Calrissian/Leia Organa/Han Solo

What I love: Han and Lando's Rocky history runs right into Han and Leia's passionate relationship, betrayal and loyalty all tangled up in people that really do love each other

Specific Prompts:

  • Leia and Lando work together to get Han back from Carbonite, and they're both really in love with him. What does that space between them look like? How does it get resolved?
  • Lando takes their time at Cloud City as a chance to court them both (into bed)
  • Post ROTJ, figuring out the future together.
  • Art Prompt: Something in the Cloud City setting could be really fun!
  • AU prompt: 1920's Prohibition AU - Lando the swanky club owner, Leia the socialite's daughter and up-and-coming political reformer, Han the dubious rumrunner that is still surprised he's managed to hook them both

Sequel Trilogy

Jannah/Rey (Star Wars)

What I love: Scavenger bros! I really like the idea of someone Rey gets to be her best feral scrap gremlin self with. I could see it being a very safe place for her as she's struggling with the Jedi legacy, her family legacy, and what it all means.

Specific Prompts

  • Jannah and Rey take a break to go pick over the old Death Star scrap - they have fun scrambling over machinery and showing off their mechanical know-how.
  • Relatedly, it occurs to me that Independent Scavenger Rey and Built a Community Jannah both have unique relationships to self-sufficiency and keeping yourself alive? Maybe this is a clash, maybe they build on each other's strengths, maybe they go into business and the galaxy trembles with the weight of their economic acumin.
  • Jannah and Rey both figure out who they are with whatever government comes after Rise of Skywalker - how do you deal with going from being an outsider to a hero?
  • Art Prompt: Jannah teaching Rey how to use her sweet Space Recurve Bow.
  • AU Prompt: I am struck with the idea of a Modern AU where they run an anarchist self-sufficiency/mutual aid community. Or if you want fluffier, playing with the fact that they both built their own wardrobes in canon - what if we try a Quirky Fashion Blogger AU?

Jannah/Rose Tico

What I love: This is basically my "two people I wanted to have a billion hours more time with who I think would like each other" ship. The First Order messed up both of their childhoods and yet they both grew into passionate, competent, caring adults. Rose threw herself into the Resistance and Jannah is a defector that built a society with other defectors. How wonderful!

Specific Prompts

  • Jannah and Rose are pretty much both Badass Space Horse Girls. Let them bond over that.
  • Rose and Jannah figuring out their place in whatever government comes after Rise of Skywalker.
  • Jannah goes back to her little community after Rise of Skywalker, and Rose comes to spend some time with her. Feelings Develop.
  • Art Prompt: If you are up for drawing animals, I would love Jannah, Rose, and a big Space Horse of some kind.
  • AU Prompt: I'm leaning into the horse thing - lets go rodeo AU, maybe with Jannah being a talented long-time rider, Rose the scrappy up and comer?

Poe Dameron/Finn/Rey/Rose Tico

What I love: This ship, in my brain, is the Cuddle Pile. For me, it's a pretty soft place, with a lot of friendship and affection underpinning the relationship.

Specific Prompts

  • They get together between TLJ and Rise of Skywalker - how they all fall into place
  • A soft moment of comfort for whoever needs it.
  • Post-Rise of Skywalker - rebuilding the galaxy together, using everyone's unique strengths.
  • Art Prompt: Everyone napping together.
  • AU Prompt: Nonprofit or other small business AU - they all work together, who does what? Who is HR, Marketing/Fundraising, IT, office Admin, CEO, outside vendor? The possibilities are endless!

Pairing Specific Note: I'm okay with any sort of polycule romantic relationship between the four of them. Feel free to write some of the relationships as non-romantic, but I do really want all of them to be friends and enjoy each other's company. I also welcome all of them being romantically involved with each other in a big pile o' love!

Poe Dameron/Luke Skywalker

What I love: There's something really compelling to me about Poe's optimistic idealism meeting ST!Luke's tired exhaustion - especially as time goes on and Poe gets more weathered himself. There's also a lot of similarities - they're both good-hearted men who grew up on a farm that love flying and their families. I think there's a lot of room for them to be happy with each other, but also a lot of uneven life experience to overcome.

Specific Prompts

  • Luke meets Poe sometime before his temple is destroyed, and gets charmed by younger (still an adult) Poe who has a massive crush on him.
  • After his temple is destroyed, Luke doesn't go to the Sadness Island, he goes to the Resistance instead. That's where he meets Poe.
  • Luke does go to the Sadness Island, but is convinced to leave it in TLJ. He meets Poe then. In this version they both have massive regrets and anger but are also determined to rebuild - could be interesting to explore that!
  • Art Prompt: Poe leaning in and flirting with Luke, looking all charming. (Optional - Luke is clearly charmed, but a bit more ??? about the whole thing)
  • AU Prompt: Novelist AU! Luke is a famous but reclusive author who doesn't take visitors except for his sister, Poe is an up-and-coming writer Leia convinces Luke to spend some time with.

Wedge Antilles/Poe Dameron

What I love: Old Guard/New Guard of the devoted to the cause non-Force-powered pilot. Flying is this giant love between them, and it would be interesting to see what else could grow! (Note for this prompt - I haven't read new EU books where Wedge features, so ST Wedge is pretty much a blank slate for me)

Specific Prompts:

  • ST!Era Wedge isn't flying anymore - retired, became a politician, or something. Poe shows up and convinces Wedge to take him out flying.
  • Dogfights! Whether training or for fun, skill against skill
  • At some point, Wedge decides to join the Resistance, and that's when he meets Poe.
  • Art Prompt: Medal ceremony of some kind with Wedge pinning a medal on Poe - bonus points for Intense Eye Contact
  • AU Prompt: Sport AU of some kind (not picky) with retired star turned coach/mentor Wedge and up and coming star Poe.

Canon Crossovers

Bodhi Rook/Luke Skywalker

What I love: Two fundamentally decent-hearted young men, with a surprising amount of parallels - pilots, from a desert world, not raised in power, tied together by the death star. There's also some delicious tension: Luke the shining hero, Bodhi the scruffy defector.

Specific prompts:

  • An AU where Bodhi lives, and Luke is curious about the people involved with getting the Death Star plans.
  • They work together on a mission
  • What Bodhi knows of Jedha helps Luke, the growing young Jedi.
  • Art Prompt: Sharing a dessert
  • AU Prompt: Force Bond/Soulmate AU of some kind? Luke's already got so much Destiny in his life, lets let Bodhi get sucked into it too.

Cassian Andor/Shara Bey/Kes Dameron

What I love: Something about this gruff wounded spy being adopted by these cheerful competent folks just warms my heart, I want them all very happy together.

Specific Prompts

  • Pre-Rogue One - It's fuzzy when exactly Kes and/or Shara come to the Rebellion, it could be interesting to have Cassian hook up with them when he's mostly a spy.
  • The war is over and everyone's struggling to find their place, Cassian finds himself visiting Yavin IV more and more...
  • As a twist, for some reason Cassian has a relationship with either Kes or Shara before they met each other. Shake things up - a different established relationship, and a different newcomer! How did Cassian get together with either Shara or Kes? How does he feel about the newcomer?
  • Art Prompt: Napping in a too-small bed. Or napping in an appropriately sized bed! Or a nest of pillows, or… :D
  • AU Prompt: For some reason I'm seeing a college professors AU. Cassian getting sucked into late-night intellectual conversations with a gorgeous pair of married professors, and suddenly the topic of how the construct of the nuclear family primarily benefits capitalism to the disadvantage of individuals and the potential benefits of polyamory…Are they flirting with him???

Pairing specific comment: I know the existence of baby Poe comes right up against my kidfic DNW. I still don't want fic focusing on pregnancy/parenting, but I am okay with the presence of pregnancy/parenting stuff coming up as a more important part of the story.

Cassian Andor/Wedge Antilles

What I love: They're both dedicated to the Rebellion, they've both been fighting from a young age. I just think there should be a lot more fic about them! There's a lot of space for them to have met, known each other, and connected. Also, in my personal headcanon they're both kinda the mom friend, though neither of them would admit it. I think there'd be a relief in hanging out with another semi-responsible human.

Specific Prompts:

  • Pre-Rogue One and Original Trilogy, Wedge and Cassian develop a relationship (friends with benefits? Actual romance? Unhealthy-hooking-up-to-avoid-the-horrors-of-war? Options!) in the Rebellion.
  • Post-Rogue One, Cassian Lives, and how close Wedge came to loosing him gives Wedge Emotions.
  • Post-Second Death Star celebrations! Neither of them believe they made it this far, and also Wedge deserves something nice for blowing up a Death Star while failing to get blown up himself.
  • Art Prompt: Them working, looking Very Serious, but they're sitting next to each other and their shoulders/pinkies/feet are Brushing Significantly - maybe with a tiny smile :)
  • AU prompt: Dance AU! I don't know why, but something about Cassian's precision and control makes me think he'd be a ballet dancer with a tendency to work himself too hard. Wedge - also a dancer? Maybe on the tech side?

Lando Calrissian/Bodhi Rook

What I love: Two people that were just trying to do their job until they couldn't anymore. The reluctant heroes club. Also Lando is charming and considerate and Bodhi could use more of that in his life.

Specific Prompts:

  • Pre-Rogue One, Bodhi's shuttle winds up in the middle of whatever Lando's current business scheme is.
  • Post-ESB, Lando meets with a Bodhi that survived Scarif - what does that look like? Where's Lando's head at? What's Bodhi up to?
  • Canonically, Bodhi's pretty good at cards. This surprises Lando.
  • Art Prompt: Lando dressing Bodhi up - lets get that boy in a cape
  • AU prompt: Modern AU, Lando is a celebrity of some kind, Bodhi is his longsuffering driver.

Poe Dameron/Bodhi Rook

What I love: The core of this ship is "I like both of them and want them to be happy with each other." I also think there's interesting space to explore with both of them being a little more "everyman" than a lot of their peers - yes, Poe is a hotshot pilot, but he's not Force Sensitive, and he's overshadowed by a lot of the greats in his life. I feel like the same could be said for Bodhi, and I like the idea of the two of them having a lot of mutual respect and understanding.

Specific Prompts:

  • Bodhi survives Scarif and becomes a hero. He's a long-time crush of Poe's, who gets a little tongue-tied when meeting his hero. Luckily Bodhi finds it cute.
  • Rogue One survives Scarif but become a black ops team - nobody knows them, except for Leia. Poe is a little ??? about these strangers coming into the Resistance, but Leia trusts them, and hey, that one's pretty cute.
  • Poe time travels and meets Bodhi, either before or during the events of Rogue One. How do they get along? Does Poe's presence change anything?
  • Art Prompt: Poe and older!Bodhi at some formal diplomatic function - basically an excuse to draw them both in more formal robes/tunics/whatever Star Wars garb floats your boat.
  • AU Prompt: Musician AU! I am absolutely pulling from the actor's talents, here. Bodhi is an industry veteran, Poe is an up and comer. They meet...at a show? Through Poe's manager Leia? On social media? Options!

Wedge Antilles/Bodhi Rook

What I love: Defector buddies! Wedge has a certain solidness to him that could work really well with Bodhi's likely headspace if he survived Rogue One. Also Rogue One / Rogue squadron parallels.

Specific prompts:

  • Defector Club: Feel free to throw in some other defectors, but give me ex-Imps bashing the empire together.
  • Wedge winds up the minder for a Bodhi who survived Scarif, trying to get him settled in with the Rebellion.
  • Wedge and Bodhi, after the Death Star, both have some heavy losses between them. They connect over that.
  • Art Prompt: Seeing Bodhi and Wedge both in X-Wing orange would be great (or halfway OUT of X-Wing orange, down for that too)
  • AU Prompt: Chef AU - they both trained in the kitchen of some giant chain that treats their staff terribly, and they leave together to start their own little restaurant, and there are also Feelings.

Wedge Antilles/Bodhi Rook/Luke Skywalker

What I love: Pilot ship! You've got Luke, wunderkid pilot and baby Jedi, bright and shining and heroic. You've got Bodhi, everyman working pilot turned hero (who presumably survives Scarif, shhh). And you've got Wedge, career fighter pilot who is very good but maybe never got that bright moment. And they are all really decent people.

Specific Prompts:

  • After the War, Bodhi and Wedge manage to settle into something solid and under the radar, Luke is on his own with the jedi thing and dying under the responsibility. Wedge and Bodhi give him a break.
  • Luke and Wedge fall together after Yavin, Bodhi has a massive crush on the both of them. It's mutual, but unfortunately, Luke and Wedge think that Bodhi is already in a triad, with Jyn and Cassian.
  • Mission fic, let them all be competent badasses together.
  • Art Prompt: All of them having a picnic (on some planet where it isn't totally deadly to have one)
  • AU Prompt: Fantasy AU - Bodhi and Wedge are both former knights that defected from an Evil Ruler and Luke is a young kindhearted wizard they stumble over and decide to protect.

Back to Top

Canon/Legends Crossovers

Mara Jade/Fennec Shand

What I love: Fennec and Mara are both ruthlessly independent women who eventually allow themselves to be caught by someone's cause. I feel like there could be a compelling story there about what drives someone, the difficulty of trust, and of course, Very Sexy Competence.

Specific Prompts

  • Fennec and Mara meet on some backwater and share a fight, a drink, and see where the evening goes.
  • Karrde hires Fennec for a job, Mara is both suspicious of the deadly mercenary for hire…and very into the competence porn of it all
  • They had a history, but meet again when they're both older and Mara's been caught by the New Republic and Fennec is working to build a better Tatooine. Varying degrees of respectability, much to their mutual chagrin.
  • Art Prompt: Sparring, feat. muscles.
  • AU Prompt: Something Noir feeling? I don't have clear ideas for roles but I do have the mental image of the two of them snapping of banter while wearing sharp suits and it made me very happy.

Note for this pairing: I have no preference whether you'd rather fit Mara into New!Eu, fit Fennec into Legends!EU, or drag them both into an fusion EU of your own creation. I think it could be really interesting any way you want it!

Back to Top

Expanded Universe

Shara Bey/Kes Dameron

What I love: A loving Space Latino family! A badass pilot mom! People that love each other very much, even through difficulty, and are a bit silly about it.

Specific prompts:

  • How did they meet? What drew them to each other?
  • Taking a quiet moment together in a Rebellion that keeps pulling them apart.
  • Post-ROTJ, just being so happy that they survived. Maybe a little surprised? Sharing new scars as they figure out what their life together is going to look like after the war.
  • Art Prompt: Making out - whether a stolen moment in a little rebel bunk or at home in Yavin IV (or like, in a nebulous nowhere-space because backgrounds are terrible)
  • AU Prompt: Circus AU - Shara is a trapeze artist, Kes is a … hm, idk? Strongman? Lion tamer? Knife thrower? Have fun with that one.

Pairing specific comment: I know the existence of baby Poe comes right up against my kidfic DNW. I still don't want fic focusing on pregnancy/parenting, but I am okay with the presence of pregnancy/parenting stuff coming up as a more important part of the story.

Original Character Prompts

I'm doing something a little different in this section, no prompts (most of the time, I feel like the ship itself is the prompt!), just a bit of a ramble about how I see them. But please, even more with these, I've included them because I'm excited to see where your imagination takes you!

Note: If there's no gender specified, assume I'm okay with any combo: M/M, M/F, F/F, nonbinary or trans characters welcome too. Also okay with any species, and genders that are unique to that species. Be creative!

Jedi Survivor Who Joins The Rebellion/Separatist Who Also Joins The Rebellion: All the politics, the histories, all the possibilities for chasm-wide ideological differences set apart for a larger cause. Maybe the Jedi is questioning some of the temple's old tenants and involvement in the war? How do they come together?

Idealistic Resistance Pilot/Jaded former-Rebellion Pilot: It's gotta be so hard to think you've won the war, and in your lifetime, have it pop back up again. How does the Rebellion pilot handle it? How do they react to seeing idealism again?

Hotshot (Rebellion or Resistance) Pilot/Frustrated Mechanic Tired of Ship Damage: I was picturing this as either Rebellion or Resistance, but if you have another corner of the universe you'd like to see it in, surprise me! How long have they been working together? Do they catch feelings, or is this you frustrate me so much! sex?

Jedi Telepath/Non-Telepathic Detective Who Pretends to be Psychic: Look basically I want a mindreading Jedi to meet the in-universe equivalent of Shawn Spencer from Psych and then they...solve crimes together? Kiss? I'm not sure what happens next.

Original Downed Rebel Pilot/Original Farmer Hiding Them From The Authorities: What was the farmer's first reaction? Why did they decide to save the pilot? I am all about love/affection stories that develop when people are thrown together and choose to be good to each other.

Overworked (Rebellion or Resistance) Therapist/Overworked (Rebellion or Resistance) Medic: We all agree that these folks would be VERY overworked with all the trauma and the shooting, yeah? I've got a soft spot for worn out service professionals finding some comfort in each other.

Many thanks and happy creating,
