swrares 2018 - wip

Hello friend, it is STAR WARS TIME and 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.

Things what I like;

Mentorship and loyalty dynamics, including ladies' suicidal world-saving or world-breaking devotion to other ladies, also especially #unavailable older women in positions of authority; femslash and female friendship in both the foreground and the background; nature and cities and spacecraft as characters, especially when they would like to eat you because they love you; vampires, magic, witchcraft, rituals; eldritch things, fey things, eerie things, cosmic/eldritch horrors, the Force as one of said horrors that would like to eat you because it loves you, Force users as literal cosmic bodies; feelings about embodiment and iconography; epistoloary fics, IF, poems for poetry canons, song lyrics for song/album canons; second-person pov; politics; flirting, domesticity, sensuality; canon-divergent/what-if AUs; conflicted loyalties, moral ambiguity, hero/villain and villain/villain relationships, darkfic; arranged marriages, marriages of convenience, married by a technicality; relationships negotiated around characters' different vocabularies of trust and care; 'I hate you I love you I would like to wear your skin as a sign of my devotion' types of relationships; porn as character work.

Things what I like, smut edition;

Hair braiding, hair pulling; bathing, washing, bath/shower sex; painplay, bloodplay, edgeplay; mirror sex, identity porn; bondage, D/s dynamics (though not 24/7 bdsm lifestyle setups); jewellery and clothes kink; consent play; praise kink, loyalty kink, competency kink; public and semi-public sex, having to stay quiet; oral sex; biting, marking; first time with each other; sex for manipulation/political gain/conversion to the other political-military side (success optional); inappropriate use of the Force and lightsabers (and of magic and weapons more generally); one person in a threesome directing the other two and getting off watching them, mutual masturbation.

Things what I do not want;

Unrequested m/m or m/f ships; rape (dubcon is fine unless otherwise specified); permanent death of female characters; kidfic, breeding, pregnancy, age-regression and time-travel to see kid versions of characters; scat, watersports, emetophilia; food sex and associated kinks like feeding; a/b/o; tropey aus like soulmates or hanahaki disease; eye- and feet-related gore; first-person pov; apocalypse and post-apocalypse fic, zombies; *isms, issuefic; 'it was all a dream' sort of mindfuckery; age gaps causing angst; bodyswap fic; crackfic; sex involving under-16s. Star Wars specific: Poe, Kylo-bashing, references to/acknowledgement of Amilyn's canonverse death (set fic with her pre-TLJ/in an AU where it's not relevant or have her survive the movie in as much or as little details as you like), strict moralising/generalising about the light side of the Force vs the dark, Jacen Syndulla or any other child for Hera.

General: Padmé lives to found the Rebellion and Dark Empress/Sith Lady Padmé AUs are always excellent, whether the fic focusses on her era or later. Vampire, Changeling: the Lost, Aniara, and Scandinoir AUs are loved for any requested ships (see my AUEx letter for more detail on those last two. My main headcanon for Rebellion-Era Amilyn is fighter pilot, but anything else you want to play with is great as well. Background other femslash ships, requested or not, are always fine, as are Rey/Finn, Rey/Kylo, Rey/Finn/Kylo, Finn/Kylo, Finn/Rose, and Rose/Kylo.

Amilyn/Leia ships

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, explorations of how they try to bring the other to their side are wonderful. For fluffier things, 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 (the wound in the Force where Alderaan used to be, creepy lakes on Gatalenta, abandoned ships/bases) would be loved too.

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/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/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/Ahsoka: Oh man, I don't really have prompts for this one besides YES PLEASE. Early Rebellion days, maybe? Mortis weirdness? I like the idea of Ahsoka as something not-quite-mortal after she was resurrected, so anything that plays with that - and Leia and Amilyn's reactions to it - would be great.

Amilyn/Leia/Carise: Carise makes everything gloriously fucked up and I want alll the politics tbh. Maybe she tries to get to Leia by seducing Amilyn? Something, anything, with pretending to be a couple/undercover shenanigans. Costume parties, masquerades, FORCE-CHOKING, two of them conspiring to wreck the other. Sex in the Senate buildings (one interrupting the other two, or all three together). Sith AU where Leia and Amilyn are part of Carise's new First Order.

Amilyn/Leia/Varish: Varish inevitably means clothing porn/masquerade parties to me, and I would love if you set something at some sort of party. Anything around the Bloodline era where Leia just gets to have A Nice Time, or missionfic during the Resistance era (how does she join? Or does she just help from afar when asked? Or is there ANGST because she wants nothing to do with it?)

Amilyn/Leia/Mon Mothma: I am an uncomplicated creature: they are #69 on the requests spreadsheet, I would like 69ing.

Other Leia ships

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/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/Hera: I live for any and all AUs where Hera is the pilot Leia falls for instead of Han, from young Leia's first crush to flygirl Hera dropping in to surprise her wife in out-of-the-way corners of the New Republic Senate buildings. First time fic? Adventurous shenanigans? Hera being Leia's pilot whilst she's a senator, maybe taking Greer's place in some of the Bloodline adventures? If you would like to OT3 them with Amilyn I would love that as well.

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 that can entail.

Leia/Qi'ra: Anything and everything from the AU where the no-good smuggler Leia falls for is Qi'ra instead of Han! Leia should have a fun morally dubious crime girlfriend, she deserves it.

Imperial ladies ships

Carise Sindian/Rae Sloane: Hi yes I would like these WONDERFULLY TERRIBLE LADIES being WONDERFULLY TERRIBLE together. I would love anything about them putting together the First Order, plotting and planning and secret late-night holocalls (sexy late-night holocalls?).

Rae Sloane/Jyn Erso: Imperial!Jyn or not as you like.

Leia Organa/Rae Sloane:

Mon Mothma/Rae Sloane: Is hatesex too obvious? I don't care, I'd die for it. But I'm also totally happy with something non-smutty, the draw of this ship is two brilliant, competent women with some obvious degree of respect and a surprising if minimal amount of trust for each other on opposite sides of a war, and dealing with that. One or the other trying to convince the other to join their side, or an AU where they're successful? The early days of the First Order in the Unknown Region are bonkers and I love them, maybe Mon ends up there somehow?

Chelli Lona Aphra/Rae Sloane: My (very general) prompt for this is that I want cheeky rogue archaeologists and grumpy sorta Imperials running into Weirdness in the Unknown Regions, but I will happily read anything else that you come up with!

Arihnda Pryce/Hera Syndulla: Look, if the Rebels crew didn't want this to be the hero/villain ship of my dreams they wouldn't have cast Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Pryce. I love all the mind games, all the AUs where Pryce reluctantly survives the finale and she and Hera chase each other across the galaxy in a weirdly personal cat-and-mouse that neither of them can understand but neither of them can live without. Pryce represents a really specific bit of the Empire, philosophically, that we don't see that often, and I would read anything and anything about how that runs up against Hera's lifetime of fighting. I like creepy fluff, I like Pryce coming back Wrong after the liberation of Lothal (vampire? eldritch abomination? cyborg? an AI in an Imperial ship Hera steals?) and continuing to hunt Hera down. Interrogation scenes, mindfucky power-game attempted seductions, the things that happen when they're trapped together on eerily perfect abandoned ships/moons/etc. Hera whump gleefully accepted, Hera paired with Ahsoka, Leia, Sabine, or Mon Mothma as a secondary/comfort pairing also gleefully accepted.

Hera Syndulla/Maketh Tua: I like future AUs where Maketh survives, whether she succeeds in defecting or not - the idea of Hera developing her own source inside the Imperial command is a lot of fun. Or something pre-canon - do they meet before Maketh connects Hera to the Ghost? Maketh is so intriguingly pliable for an Imperial, I'd love something that gets into the masks she wears and why, and how she might deal with wanting to please both Pryce and Hera. Mind games, trapped and forced to work together ... all excellent.

Prequel ladies ships

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/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, accomplished New Republic marrieds .... the list is endless and I love everything on it.

Padmé/Breha: 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! OT3-ing them with Satine is great if you feel so inclined.

Padmé/Satine: Canonverse missionfic would be excellent, as would any political-with-feelings marriage (including Dark Empress Padmé taking Satine as her consort). Satine goes into hiding with the Rebellion. Satine clashes with Sith!Padmé in the Senate. Eldritch Padmé tries to take over Mandalore while Satine tries to get her to remember who she used to be. OT3-ing them with Breha is great if you feel so inclined.

Padmé/Ahsoka: I love them going on adventures together, and I'd be interested in the AU where Jedi!Padmé takes Ahsoka as her apprentice.

Everyone Else

Hera Syndulla/Ahsoka Tano: Hera going all hearteyes for powerful older Rebellion ladies is uh my favourite thing? And she knew Ahoska as Fulcrum for some time before introducing her to the rest of the Ghost crew, and probably spent a good bit of that trying to sort out her feelings not only about whether to join the wider rebellion but also about Ahsoka. I know we didn't see that much of them together before Ahsoka got stranded on Malachor, but there's so much there. Possible ideas: discussions about the future of the rebellion/the Force and what impact that has on their relationship, trying to find private time on the Ghost, Ahsoka saying a personal goodbye before she leaves for Malachor, Hera stages a one-woman rescue mission, pretending-to-be-anonymous hookups/undercover as a couple.

Amilyn Holdo/Kaydel Ko Connix:
