A very obvious sock signup but, yknow, it's allowed and I promise to play nice.
Hello friend, I am so excited to see what you will write for me! If you want inspiration beyond this, I am also @kimaracretak on tumblr (where I am only intermittently active but may have some thoughts on some of these canons/ships), 8tracks and playmoss (for #aesthetic takes on some of these canons/ships), and AO3, where I have a small but reflective of things I like collection of bookmarks.
I've by and large chosen canons I love for their worldbuilding and mytharcs as well as their characters and relationships, and I am easy to please as long as you stay away from my DNWs (both general and canon-specific), so don't feel like you Have to write any of my specific prompts. Don't read anything into relative lengths of sections, I am equally happy to get something for anything in this letter! Some of these prompts are reused from old letters, and if you have written them for me before, rest assured that I loved your fic, I am simply greedy and would like to see every possible take on my favourite scenarios.
If you are writing shipfic, I like everything from pre-ship feelings navigation to PWP, so for / relationships don't worry about whether they're shippy 'enough'. I don't need a lot of romance in my ships, sex for power, manipulation, or just between friends who want to have fun is also great. Please no unrequested ships unless specifically allowed for, but feel free to combine any compatible ones from my requested ones.

General: I don't particularly enjoy Garibaldi, though that's more indifference than hatred. I've read most of the novels and have seen most of Crusade and have no strong feelings either way as to whether you use information/events from them or not. Anything you want to do incorporating the First Ones/weird fey space things is extra loved. Canon-divergence AUs are great, post-series fic is great. B5 was a really stunning take on not just war stories but people-in-war stories, and I love the plotty fics with complicated characters and dynamics that it lends itself to -- angst and darkfic and cosmic horror are all more than welcome here.
Fandom-Specific DNW: Londo, Londo/G'Kar
Delenn/Susan Ivanova: I can never read enough post-canon fics for them, the way they settle into life together and find something approaching peace. Low-stakes missions, domesticity, galactic politics ...their lives and their feelings are both so big, I love seeing smaller moments between them. I would adore epistolary fic for them, or in-universe historical documents like the show itself played with. For things set during canon, I'm okay with Delenn/Susan happening instead of Delenn/John at literally any time, from 'Susan was the one who took down the Black Star' to 'they got together during the search for John at the beginning of s4'. Feel free to OT3 them with Lyta or Talia.
Lyta Alexander/Delenn: So uh. That thing where Delenn helped turn Lyta into a weapon and then sort of took responsibility but also sort of refused to help? It is my FAVOURITE THING. They're so messy and violent and yet there's such a real thread of affectionate-horrified adoration shot through it - look at you, look at the most important creature in the galaxy - and it's so unhealthy and I'm obsessed.
Delenn/Anna Sheridan: I love Anna-was-always-the-Sheridan AUs - what changes if it was her instead of John? Identity porn/spy games with Shadow!Anna. Minbari worldbuilding, including arranged marriage for Reasons. Anna encounters Delenn on one of her trips before Earthforce Officially meets the Minbari ship and war breaks out.
Lyta Alexander/Talia Winters: I consider Lyta/Control!Talia to be covered by this tag, so if you want to write about Control post-s2, feel free! Lyta stages a rescue mission to get Control!Talia back. Garibaldi was always actually Control and Talia has to adjust to having another telepath on the station/they fight together during the Shadow War. Vorlon weirdness. Telepathic sex. Feel free to OT3 them with Susan.
General: I don't consider seasons 4 & 5 of Atlantis in my personal canon, with the exception of Keller's presence and a couple bits of wraith lore. Fey things and sentient cities are love, human exceptionalism and campy things are boring to me, old gods and half-gods and the promises and compromises made to survive in the Pegasus galaxy delight me. Canon-divergence AUs, especially Wraith Queen Teyla/Asuran Queen Elizabeth/Independent-from-Earth Atlantis, are love (all three in one fic or just one). Sentient Atlantis, whether as a worldbuilding detail or as a major plot point, will always make me happy.

Stargate Atlantis
General: I don't consider seasons 4 & 5 of Atlantis in my personal canon, with the exception of Keller's presence and a couple bits of wraith lore. Fey things and sentient cities are love, human exceptionalism and campy things are boring to me, old gods and half-gods and the promises and compromises made to survive in the Pegasus galaxy delight me. Canon-divergence AUs, especially Wraith Queen Teyla/Asuran Queen Elizabeth/Independent-from-Earth Atlantis, are love (all three in one fic or just one). Sentient Atlantis, whether as a worldbuilding detail or as a major plot point, will always make me happy.
Teyla Emmagan/Elizabeth Weir: I love anything that lets them be co-rulers of Atlantis, whether they're both human and things are (relatively) normal, or if they're less beatific Wraith/Asuran queens. Whether AU or canonverse I'm happy with basically anything that lets them adventure together - slice of life fic (negotiating a trade agreement, exploring new parts of the city, etc), or thorny politics, or anything like that. I love how equally matched they are and how willing they are to learn from each other, and I'd especially love that in AUs where there's Wraith/Asuran politics complicating things, or they're trying to build a new society independent from Earth (declared independence and just-never-reconnected are both good!). I'd love for a missionfic sort of thing - a WEIRD DERELICT SHIP (space or ocean) is found! A WEIRD SKELETON is found! Vampires are found! Cultural worldbuilding of any sort is also always great.
Kate Heightmeyer/Elizabeth Weir: Nnh, these two. They carry so many secrets, and have so few people to talk to. Tbh I can't see Elizabeth ever really directly talking about how hard life can get, but I think Kate would try to find creative ways to help her de-stress. I'd love fix-its for either or both of them - Elizabeth injects Kate with nanites and she's saved from the dream BECAUSE ROBOTS. MIssionfic shenanigans - derelict ships, vampires, etc.
General: Dark Empress Padmé, Sith!Padmé, Padmé-comes-back-wrong, and Padmé lives to found the Rebellion AUs are welcome for any of these ships. No extensive Anakin-bashing (though I'm okay with him dying for the story's sake) and please age the girls up to at least 16 for smut.
Padmé/Sabé: I love the angst potential of the one light/one dark interpretations of the Sith!Padmé AUs here - Padmé trying to convince her most loyal handmaiden/lover to join her and Sabé begging her to remember the light. But maybe Sabé goes with her willingly! For Rebellion!Padmé ones, maybe them raising Leia together, or Sabé taking Leia into hiding and Padmé visiting. Monster sex with eldritch!Padmé trying to convince Sabé it's really her come back. Loyalty kink and identity porn in any universe is amazing. Any sort of pretending-to-be-the-other roleplay, whether it extends to sex or not. Sex pollen heightens the 'we pretend to be each other' into 'we genuinely think the other is me'. Sabe gets off on serving her queen/senator (or vice versa). Sex to celebrate a battle victory (legislative or military), or somewhere in the Senate chambers. Clothing/jewellery porn, costume/masquerade balls. AU where Padmé and Sabé were married by the time AotC happens, and how things change because of it. Padmé lives to see her wardrobe thrown into space by that lad in the Poe comics and enlists Sabé to help her track it down (#savepadmesdresses2k18).
Padmé Amidala/Breha Organa: I like Bail and I'd prefer an open-marriage/never married thing for Breha, though if it makes sense for him to die that's fine. I'd love anything in a Senator!Breha AU, or anything with Padmé going to her for advice and that eventually evolving into a relationship. Clothing porn, senatorial events, humanitarian missions (stranded together somewhere cold :D), co-parenting Leia (or Leia-and-Luke), Dark Empress Padmé comes to conquer Alderaan, secretly-a-Jedi!Breha ... I'm up for basically anything here!
Padmé Amidala/Mon Mothma: So they're politicians who are invested in solving things diplomatically ... except for every single time Padmé picked up a blaster and ran straight into trouble, so I would love seeing adventures (possibly Clone Wars-era adventures?) that she dragged Mon along on. Rebellion-founding, co-parenting Leia, Naboo and/or Chandrila worldbuilding, politicking .... the list is endless and I love everything on it.
General: Any of the AUs from this year's AUEx letter are fair game, including the setting-change ones. I've read Bloodline, Phasma, and Leia: Princess of Alderaan, seen Rebels and some of TCW, and play SWTOR & KOTOR2, but that's about as far as my canon or legends EU knowledge goes. Use/ignore elements of them as you wish, and if you borrow from elsewhere let me know so I know what to read next :D Force-sensitive Amilyn per Laura Dern's interview would be amazing, but also just the vaguely-witchy like in PoA is fine too. AUs where one or both of the twins were raised by Rebellion founder Padmé or Dark Empress/Sith Lord Padmé, or one or both of the twins are Sith/Jedi, are always gleefully accepted. I ship Rey/Kylo and Finn/Rose and am happy to see them as background relationships in compatible requests. Always-a-girl!Kylo is great in any fic where Kylo's plot-relevant. I'm thoroughly indifferent to Han/Leia so feel free to presume it never happened/open marriage/amicable divorce/Han's death as is convenient.
Fandom-specific DNW: Poe, Kylo-bashing, references to/acknowledgment of Amilyn's death (set fic with her pre-TLJ or have her survive the events of the movie in as much or as little detail as you like).
Amilyn/Leia: I love them. I love how much they love each other and I love how obvious it was even in less than five minutes of screentime. I want them to be happy together and I'd love something that speaks to the depth of their connection (or future depth, if you're writing them younger) - something set later in their lives after they've been together for a while, something earlier in their lives where they go 'oh, this is My Person' for the first time would be equally loved. Sexwise I prefer domme!Amilyn if you're playing with power dynamics but the other way around is good as well. In Sith!AUs, I'd love something exploring the darker side of the 'happiness is our moral imperative' line they kept repeating in PoA. If only one is Sith, I'd love something that puts Amilyn in Leia's life during the Rebellion/inter-war/Bloodline period, I'd love something that's a post-Crait fixit (someone give Amilyn/Leia + Rey/Ben the small cottage in the Chandrilan woods away from everything painful that they deserve, alternately, someone let Amilyn and Leia have the 'I can't believe we just survived that' sex on the Falcon/next Resistance base that they also deserve), I'd love them co-parenting baby Ben while Han's off doing something else. Plotty missionfic - something involving sentient spaceships/eldritch places (especially the wound in the Force where Alderaan used to be)
Amilyn/Leia/Rey: This is my Dream ot3, honestly. I'm equally into eldritch Force-creatures Leia and Rey and Amilyn (or just vaguely-witchy Amilyn) and softer comfort fic. Let Rey finally get the love and attention she deserves from Leia and Amilyn. Maybe Rey saves Amilyn from the Supremacy and the three of them get a post-Crait reunion. Lightsaber practice is a good trope, especially since, knowing that Laura Dern had to go pew pew every time she shot a blaster, I now have to believe that Amilyn makes lightsaber noises whenever she and Leia and Rey practice. Force-sensitive Amilyn means all three of them have so much to discover together, but in a more general sense I am so here for anything and everything that leans into the mentorship aspect of their relationships with each other. Inappropriate uses of the Force/lightsabers highly encouraged in shipfic! If you want to go AU, Jedi/Sith!AUs are always interesting - Leia or Amilyn (or both!) take Rey as their padawan, Amilyn and Rey try to bring Sith!Leia back to the light side, etc - as are Nightsister!Rey ones. Missionfic/worldbuilding - maybe they're exploring an old base, or an abandoned wreck and finding cool spooky shit. Trapped together and working to survive. Rey initially feeling awkward for intruding on a pre-existing relationship but ultimately being reassured she has a place (I actually don't have a preference between established relationship vs get-together fic for them).
Amilyn/Leia/Jyn: This is my favourite 'complete opposites cannot help be drawn to each other' but with three ladies instead of two, so I really just want to read anything about them. First meetings, missionfic, character studies, Amilyn dyeing her lovers' hair, Imperial!Jyn running into the Resistance and having an 'oh no they're hot' moment. Feel free to make Jyn also an Imperial if that works with the Sith!Leia AUs! Maybe they're co-queens of dark!Alderaan and Amilyn's the Gatalentan ambassador that they slowly turn. Or in the Amilyn-survives-TLJ AU, she and Leia go to meet up with a Jyn who survived Rogue One and has a place where the rest of the Resistance can shelter.
Amilyn/Leia/D'Acy: I really love this as Leia and her two most trusted lovers/confidants, especially considering that in canon she handpicked D'Acy and then D'Acy followed Amilyn without question, and I'd like that dynamic to be preserved in whatever you write. D'Acy's recruitment to the Resistance (possibly it was an Amilyn-and-Leia joint effort?), how she worked with Leia and Amilyn in the beginning, political arguments, missions they went on. Or something post-TLJ where they all help each other heal.
Amilyn/Leia/Mon Mothma:
Amilyn/Leia/Paige: I would love a TLJ rewrite where Poe doesn't disobey orders, Paige doesn't have to die, Kylo is a bit faster freezing the shots headed for the bridge, and an Actual Plan without the fucked-up timeline is made. Things pre- or post-movie are equally great, though for this ship I'd like all three of them to be alive, no Force ghosts. Dynamics-wise, if you go shippy I tend to think of this as Paige being welcomed into established Amilyn/Leia, but feel free to explore any other dynamic that you'd like! I also think this in particular is a fun pairing to explore outsider POVs with.
Amilyn/Leia/Hera: I have been thinking a lot about Amilyn and Hera's twin jumps to hyperspace in front of Very Big Enemy Ships/Stations and decided that I would really love them to both be Leia's Rebellion pilot girlfriends who are also each other's girlfriends. That's really my only specific prompt, though, I'd be happy to read anything else about them that doesn't hit my DNWs!
Leia/Rey: Mentorship, pining, established relationship, getting together ... I love it all. I have special fondness for training fics, whether that's like an AU where Rey is Jedi!Leia's padawan and the two of them go on a reforming-the-Jedi-order quest or something post-Crait where Leia and Rey build lightsabers together. I also enjoy Leia introducing Rey to luxuries she didn't have on Jakku -- baths, nice clothes/lingerie, etc. I'm still lowkey mad Padmé's wardrobe got flung into hyperspace, and missionfic to recover it would be delightful. Dark AUs (Sith!Leia, Snoke's apprentice!Rey, etc) would be fabulous as well, whether they're both dark side Force users, or one is trying to convince the other to join them.
Leia/Carise Sindian (SW: Bloodline): This is basically every single one of my hero/villain likes, tbh, right down to Carise not being able to hurt Leia directly even though she thinks she must. I'd love alllllll the fierce angsty manipulative hatesex. Leia punishing Carise, dirty talk involving the titles she doesn't have anymore, force-choking her? Carise brings out Leia's dark side in a beautifully raw way and I would read several novels worth of them fucking (with) each other. General politicking and manipulation is also excellent if you don't want to go the PWP route. I'd prefer things set post-novel for them, whether they keep running into each other for years after Leia leaves the Senate (epistolary fic covering those years would be super neat) or they have a one-off encounter in a seedy cantina somewhere. That being said, I'm also interested in their pre-novel relationship, though I don't really have specific prompts for that era besides 'clothing porn'.
Leia/Jyn: Rebellion babes! they have such different reasons for being there, which of course makes me want missionfic - how do they deal with each others' wildly different tactics in the field? Or good old-fashioned sparring-leads-to-sex character smut. Or maybe Jyn survives and is Leia's (secret?) ally in the New Republic government, or maybe Leia tries to recruit her for the Resistance. Orrrr what if Jyn finds out that the truth about Leia's father is going to be leaked (either how it happened in Bloodline or in an entirely different way), and takes it on herself to prevent that? Anything with these two butting heads but ultimately being (reluctantly) caring/protective of each other will be loved, but also .... feel free to embrace the potential for angst and the viciousness. Leia has it out for Jyn because her father was responsible for Alderaan's destruction. Jyn flips it around after the Vader reveal. Dealing with the trauma of being connected to such loss - there's something about wounds in the Force there that I'd love to see explored. Imperial!Jyn marries Leia to try to subdue Alderaan, and feelings happen (or don't).
Leia/Mon: I have a mentor/protege problem, can you tell? Part of me wants to think this ship lends itself well to mutual pining.secrecy - they're both at the top levels of Rebellion command, after all. But also part of me wants fancy accomplished political wives running the New Republic together, or Leia going to her old friend/lover for commiseration/oh-Maker-why-is-this-happening-again comfort when she starts thinking about forming the Resistance. I would also be interested in something a bit darker in their dynamic, like, is Leia being seen entirely as a Padmé-replacement? That would be super interesting to explore. Or a Dark Empress Padmé AU where Mon is trying to turn Leia to the Rebellion's side/Leia goes to Mon for comfort and help because she knows what her mother's doing is wrong?
Leia/Jyn/Mon: I really like the idea of Jyn and Leia's initial competition for Mon's attention eventually turning into a ... well, not uncomplicated, but definitely satisfied trio. Or an exploration of how they come together and drift apart over and over across the years. Maybe Jyn accidentally ends up in a leadership position and reflects on how much she's learned from both of them.
Leia/Arihnda Pryce: I'm not entirely sure what I want from this one, tbh. AU where Pryce lives and Leia meets her instead of Tarkin on the Death Star? Sith!Leia and her most loyal governor? I'm sure I'll love whatever you come up with.
Leia/Ahsoka: I like AUs where Ahsoka teaches sorta-Jedi Leia, and that evolves into a relationship (Jedi!Leia can be instead of or in addition to her duties to Alderaan). Ahsoka meeting Leia during Rebellion days and how she reacts to seeing so much of Vader in her. Missionfic always, with all the pretending to be a couple fun
Kate Heightmeyer/Elizabeth Weir: Nnh, these two. They carry so many secrets, and have so few people to talk to. Tbh I can't see Elizabeth ever really directly talking about how hard life can get, but I think Kate would try to find creative ways to help her de-stress. I'd love fix-its for either or both of them - Elizabeth injects Kate with nanites and she's saved from the dream BECAUSE ROBOTS. MIssionfic shenanigans - derelict ships, vampires, etc.
Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
General: Dark Empress Padmé, Sith!Padmé, Padmé-comes-back-wrong, and Padmé lives to found the Rebellion AUs are welcome for any of these ships. No extensive Anakin-bashing (though I'm okay with him dying for the story's sake) and please age the girls up to at least 16 for smut.
Padmé/Sabé: I love the angst potential of the one light/one dark interpretations of the Sith!Padmé AUs here - Padmé trying to convince her most loyal handmaiden/lover to join her and Sabé begging her to remember the light. But maybe Sabé goes with her willingly! For Rebellion!Padmé ones, maybe them raising Leia together, or Sabé taking Leia into hiding and Padmé visiting.

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
General: Any of the AUs from this year's AUEx letter are fair game, including the setting-change ones. I've read Bloodline, Phasma, and Leia: Princess of Alderaan, seen Rebels and some of TCW, and play SWTOR & KOTOR2, but that's about as far as my canon or legends EU knowledge goes.

I'm thoroughly indifferent to Han/Leia so feel free to presume it never happened/open marriage/amicable divorce/Han's death as is convenient.
Fandom-specific DNW: Poe, Kylo-bashing, references to/acknowledgment of Amilyn's death (set fic with her pre-TLJ or have her survive the events of the movie in as much or as little detail as you like).
Amilyn/Leia: I love them. I love how much they love each other and I love how obvious it was even in less than five minutes of screentime. I want them to be happy together and I'd love something that speaks to the depth of their connection (or future depth, if you're writing them younger) - something set later in their lives after they've been together for a while, something earlier in their lives where they go 'oh, this is My Person' for the first time would be equally loved. Sexwise I prefer domme!Amilyn if you're playing with power dynamics but the other way around is good as well. In Sith!AUs, I'd love something exploring the darker side of the 'happiness is our moral imperative' line they kept repeating in PoA. If only one is Sith, I'd love something that puts Amilyn in Leia's life during the Rebellion/inter-war/Bloodline period, I'd love something that's a post-Crait fixit (someone give Amilyn/Leia + Rey/Ben the small cottage in the Chandrilan woods away from everything painful that they deserve, alternately, someone let Amilyn and Leia have the 'I can't believe we just survived that' sex on the Falcon/next Resistance base that they also deserve), I'd love them co-parenting baby Ben while Han's off doing something else. Plotty missionfic - something involving sentient spaceships/eldritch places (especially the wound in the Force where Alderaan used to be)
Amilyn/Leia/Rey: This is my Dream ot3, honestly. I'm equally into eldritch Force-creatures Leia and Rey and Amilyn (or just vaguely-witchy Amilyn) and softer comfort fic. Let Rey finally get the love and attention she deserves from Leia and Amilyn. Maybe Rey saves Amilyn from the Supremacy and the three of them get a post-Crait reunion. Lightsaber practice is a good trope, especially since, knowing that Laura Dern had to go pew pew every time she shot a blaster, I now have to believe that Amilyn makes lightsaber noises whenever she and Leia and Rey practice. Force-sensitive Amilyn means all three of them have so much to discover together, but in a more general sense I am so here for anything and everything that leans into the mentorship aspect of their relationships with each other. Inappropriate uses of the Force/lightsabers highly encouraged in shipfic! If you want to go AU, Jedi/Sith!AUs are always interesting - Leia or Amilyn (or both!) take Rey as their padawan, Amilyn and Rey try to bring Sith!Leia back to the light side, etc - as are Nightsister!Rey ones. Missionfic/worldbuilding - maybe they're exploring an old base, or an abandoned wreck and finding cool spooky shit. Trapped together and working to survive. Rey initially feeling awkward for intruding on a pre-existing relationship but ultimately being reassured she has a place (I actually don't have a preference between established relationship vs get-together fic for them).
Amilyn/Leia/Jyn: This is my favourite 'complete opposites cannot help be drawn to each other' but with three ladies instead of two, so I really just want to read anything about them. First meetings, missionfic, character studies, Amilyn dyeing her lovers' hair, Imperial!Jyn running into the Resistance and having an 'oh no they're hot' moment. Feel free to make Jyn also an Imperial if that works with the Sith!Leia AUs! Maybe they're co-queens of dark!Alderaan and Amilyn's the Gatalentan ambassador that they slowly turn. Or in the Amilyn-survives-TLJ AU, she and Leia go to meet up with a Jyn who survived Rogue One and has a place where the rest of the Resistance can shelter.
Amilyn/Leia/D'Acy: I really love this as Leia and her two most trusted lovers/confidants, especially considering that in canon she handpicked D'Acy and then D'Acy followed Amilyn without question, and I'd like that dynamic to be preserved in whatever you write. D'Acy's recruitment to the Resistance (possibly it was an Amilyn-and-Leia joint effort?), how she worked with Leia and Amilyn in the beginning, political arguments, missions they went on. Or something post-TLJ where they all help each other heal.
Amilyn/Leia/Mon Mothma:
Amilyn/Leia/Paige: I would love a TLJ rewrite where Poe doesn't disobey orders, Paige doesn't have to die, Kylo is a bit faster freezing the shots headed for the bridge, and an Actual Plan without the fucked-up timeline is made. Things pre- or post-movie are equally great, though for this ship I'd like all three of them to be alive, no Force ghosts. Dynamics-wise, if you go shippy I tend to think of this as Paige being welcomed into established Amilyn/Leia, but feel free to explore any other dynamic that you'd like! I also think this in particular is a fun pairing to explore outsider POVs with.
Amilyn/Leia/Hera: I have been thinking a lot about Amilyn and Hera's twin jumps to hyperspace in front of Very Big Enemy Ships/Stations and decided that I would really love them to both be Leia's Rebellion pilot girlfriends who are also each other's girlfriends. That's really my only specific prompt, though, I'd be happy to read anything else about them that doesn't hit my DNWs!
Leia/Rey: Mentorship, pining, established relationship, getting together ... I love it all. I have special fondness for training fics, whether that's like an AU where Rey is Jedi!Leia's padawan and the two of them go on a reforming-the-Jedi-order quest or something post-Crait where Leia and Rey build lightsabers together. I also enjoy Leia introducing Rey to luxuries she didn't have on Jakku -- baths, nice clothes/lingerie, etc. I'm still lowkey mad Padmé's wardrobe got flung into hyperspace, and missionfic to recover it would be delightful. Dark AUs (Sith!Leia, Snoke's apprentice!Rey, etc) would be fabulous as well, whether they're both dark side Force users, or one is trying to convince the other to join them.
Leia/Carise Sindian (SW: Bloodline): This is basically every single one of my hero/villain likes, tbh, right down to Carise not being able to hurt Leia directly even though she thinks she must. I'd love alllllll the fierce angsty manipulative hatesex. Leia punishing Carise, dirty talk involving the titles she doesn't have anymore, force-choking her? Carise brings out Leia's dark side in a beautifully raw way and I would read several novels worth of them fucking (with) each other. General politicking and manipulation is also excellent if you don't want to go the PWP route. I'd prefer things set post-novel for them, whether they keep running into each other for years after Leia leaves the Senate (epistolary fic covering those years would be super neat) or they have a one-off encounter in a seedy cantina somewhere. That being said, I'm also interested in their pre-novel relationship, though I don't really have specific prompts for that era besides 'clothing porn'.
Leia/Jyn: Rebellion babes! they have such different reasons for being there, which of course makes me want missionfic - how do they deal with each others' wildly different tactics in the field? Or good old-fashioned sparring-leads-to-sex character smut. Or maybe Jyn survives and is Leia's (secret?) ally in the New Republic government, or maybe Leia tries to recruit her for the Resistance. Orrrr what if Jyn finds out that the truth about Leia's father is going to be leaked (either how it happened in Bloodline or in an entirely different way), and takes it on herself to prevent that? Anything with these two butting heads but ultimately being (reluctantly) caring/protective of each other will be loved, but also .... feel free to embrace the potential for angst and the viciousness. Leia has it out for Jyn because her father was responsible for Alderaan's destruction. Jyn flips it around after the Vader reveal. Dealing with the trauma of being connected to such loss - there's something about wounds in the Force there that I'd love to see explored. Imperial!Jyn marries Leia to try to subdue Alderaan, and feelings happen (or don't).
Leia/Mon: I have a mentor/protege problem, can you tell? Part of me wants to think this ship lends itself well to mutual pining.secrecy - they're both at the top levels of Rebellion command, after all. But also part of me wants fancy accomplished political wives running the New Republic together, or Leia going to her old friend/lover for commiseration/oh-Maker-why-is-this-happening-again comfort when she starts thinking about forming the Resistance. I would also be interested in something a bit darker in their dynamic, like, is Leia being seen entirely as a Padmé-replacement? That would be super interesting to explore. Or a Dark Empress Padmé AU where Mon is trying to turn Leia to the Rebellion's side/Leia goes to Mon for comfort and help because she knows what her mother's doing is wrong?
Leia/Jyn/Mon: I really like the idea of Jyn and Leia's initial competition for Mon's attention eventually turning into a ... well, not uncomplicated, but definitely satisfied trio. Or an exploration of how they come together and drift apart over and over across the years. Maybe Jyn accidentally ends up in a leadership position and reflects on how much she's learned from both of them.
Leia/Arihnda Pryce: I'm not entirely sure what I want from this one, tbh. AU where Pryce lives and Leia meets her instead of Tarkin on the Death Star? Sith!Leia and her most loyal governor? I'm sure I'll love whatever you come up with.
Leia/Ahsoka: I like AUs where Ahsoka teaches sorta-Jedi Leia, and that evolves into a relationship (Jedi!Leia can be instead of or in addition to her duties to Alderaan). Ahsoka meeting Leia during Rebellion days and how she reacts to seeing so much of Vader in her. Missionfic always, with all the pretending to be a couple fun
