Dear maythe4th writer,
Jan. 22nd, 2017 09:02 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
karyatidFirst of all, thank you for writing for me! I promise I'm very easy to please!
I'm always happy to read missing scenes, fork-in-the-road type AUs, hurt/comfort, major characters seen from minor character's POV, day-in-the-life of characters, backstory as well as stories set after canon. Mutual, eventually resolved pining is my jam, but I also like casefic with established couples going on adventures. I prefer angst to have a happy (or happy-ish) ending, but if resolving the angst doesn't fit your story that's also fine. Any rating goes.
I love all the characters I've requested, but you don't have to write them as always being right or making the right choices.
DNW: non-con, graphic violence, AUs not set in the Star Wars Universe, dark!Luke or Leia, bashing of characters that aren't canonical villains, Leia being dead or dying, Owen and Beru as space!Dursleys
Below are some prompts/suggestions for each request, but if you want to do something different, that's totally ok as well, of course!:
Biggs Darklighter/Luke Skywalker A ship that lives in the ANH deleted scenes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f00IkrWvur4 starts at 1.30), but still, they're super cute space boyfriends. I'd love to read backstory where they fly skyhoppers (and make out), one or both of them pining or angsting about Biggs leaving for the Academy while Luke stays behind. They were clearly close to kissing at Tosche Station, what would happen if they did? Fix-its where Biggs survives the Death Star run is super welcome. Being on Rogue squadron together. Did Luke worry about telling Biggs Darth Vader is his father?
Finn/Kylo Ren Kylo said he was fighting the draw of the Light, and I think Finn is pretty much light personified. Is there some backstory that explains Kylo's fury at Finn's betrayal? Or maybe an AU where they defect to the resistance together? Or they somehow end up in a situation where Kylo redeems himself by saving Finn. Finn being Force-sensitive and Kylo wanting to train him, or maybe caring for Finn somewhere deep down and hiding him from Snoke. How about an AU with non-Force-sensitive Ben, maybe he rescues defecting stormtrooper Finn, or gets himself into a jam and Finn rescues him.
Harter Kalonia/Luke Skywalker Because shipping characters who've actually met in canon is for weaklings :) Also, Harriet Walter and Mark Hamill are both cute af, and I think they'd be adorable together. Hurt/comfort would fit well, I think, and Luke being touch-starved and finding it hard to adjust to being around people after years alone on his island. Maybe Kalonia served with the rebellion and they have some backstory. And, since Harriet Walter is Sir Christopher Lee's niece, why not embrace the crack and make Kalonia related to Dooku, and she and Luke can bond over Jedi relatives falling to the dark side. Is she Force-sensitive herself, or perhaps uncomfortable around Force users?
Lando Calrissian/Luke Skywalker If Leia can have a scoundrel, so can Luke! I've always loved how, in ESB, Luke first sees Lando, who betrayed his friends, when Lando rescues him, so it's obvious from the start of their friendship that there's more to Lando than greed. Maybe they fall in love while searching for Han and planning his rescue. I think they'd have a lot of fun together (both in and out of bed), but perhaps run into difficulties because Luke thinks having attachments could be dangerous. Do they reunite after TFA?
Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker The sibling thing is a feature, not a bug to me. I like the angsting that they shouldn't be together, trying and failing to stay apart. Twin switch, with farmgirl/prince is awesome. Hurt/comfort, during canon events or otherwise is always welcome. What if Leia was the one to go after Luke on Hoth? Or if they face Vader and the Emperor together at the end of ROTJ? Maybe Rey is their daughter? I'd love to see them have some happy times as well, or their reunion after TFA.
Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker I'd love to see them learning to be siblings after growing up apart, coming to terms with how different their lives were, telling each other about the Organas/Larses and helping each other deal with losses they've suffered. Finding out who their mother was, what Anakin was like before he turned. Or maybe hurt/comfort set post-TFA.
Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo My OT3 since forever! Reading about them navigating the sibling reveal (with more or less angst or pining, it's all good) never gets old to me. Or all the crazy adventures you know they got up to during the rebellion. The happy times they had after the war, raising baby Ben together. Fix-it where Ben doesn't turn, or That Thing that happened at the end of TFA doesn't happen would make me really happy!
Obi-Wan Kenobi/Luke Skywalker This ship could be all angst, with Obi-Wan being slightly broken and seeing Luke as a substitute for Anakin, and Luke being lonely and starved for attention and telling himself he doesn't mind if it's not really him Obi-Wan sees. But I think it could also work as a sweet May-December romance, finding comfort and closeness and not caring what happens in the future. Maybe an AU where Obi-Wan is able to teach Luke for a longer time, either after he survived the Death Star or when Luke was younger.
Owen Lars/Beru Whitesun They seem like such a sweet couple in ANH, a low-key, quiet kind of love that doesn't need big gestures. I'd love stuff from their backstory;puppy bantha cub love, first kiss, sneaking out to meet at Tosche Station, that kind of thing. Or glimpses of their marriage, the stage many parents go through where sleep seems infinitely preferable to sex, or old, married, not-actually-boring sex. Adjusting to sudden parenthood, and raising a kid they love so much, but who is destined for a very different, and dangerous, life.
Wedge Antilles/Luke Skywalker Adorable flyboys on dashing adventures! Friends to FWB to lovers. 'Oops, we fell into bed drunk on adrenaline and also drunk' sex post-Death Star (any Death Star). Hurt/comfort, seeing their friends die and knowing every mission could be their last. Maybe even a bittersweet (or just sweet) reunion after TFA.
