Dear Star Wars Rarepair writer
Sep. 24th, 2017 01:46 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
karyatidThank you for writing one of my fave rarepairs in this fandom! 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. Hurt/comfort is the best thing ever, especially two hurt characters having to get out of a jam together! I prefer angst to have a happy (or happy-ish) ending. 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, bashing of rival ships (both canon ships and rival fandom ships), Leia being dead or dying, Owen and Beru as space!Dursleys, shovel talks.
Below are some prompts for each request, use or ignore at your convenience:
Biggs Darklighter/Bodhi Rook
They both were at the Imperial Academy, it's not *completely* unlikely that they met. A FWB thing leading to inappropriate feelings and pining, maybe? If they both lived, meeting again in the rebellion and bonding as fellow defectors. If they both lived, but were injured, bonding over that, and leaning on each other through healing. Going on missions for the rebellion together, where things work out more or less according to plan. Admirals Darklighter and Rook in the resistance during TFA.
Biggs Darklighter/Luke Skywalker
A ship that makes sense only if you've seen 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?
Bodhi Rook/Luke Skywalker
I'd love a Bodhi lives!AU for this, with them both finding their feet in the rebellion after taking down the Death Star. I think there'd be a bit of hero-worship on both sides, and maybe some pining? Hurt/comfort, either because of injuries Bodhi sustained on Scarif, or one (or both) of them getting injured on a mission. Bodhi playing a role in the events of ESB and ROTJ, going into exile with Luke before TFA or reuniting with him after.
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.
Jyn Erso/Luke Skywalker
I like how they start out different, Luke so idealistic and Jyn a little jaded. Lots of opportunities for hurt/comfort if Jyn lives and stays with the rebellion. Maybe they have to team up for an undercover mission, posing as married, or bounty hunters (or married bounty hunters). They've both had to deal with their parents' legacies, does Vader's reveal on Bespin put a strain on their relationship? Or, if you prefer pre-canon, Jyn ends up on Tatooine for some reason and meets a farm boy with strong opinions on power converters.
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/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.
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.
