Dear Star Wars Rarepair writer
Sep. 22nd, 2016 09:39 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. 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 don't have a lot of smut prompts, but if that's what you want to do it's a-ok with me.
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 (up to and including bashing rival ships)
Some prompts for my requested pairings (just suggestions ofc, if you have another idea that works for you, go for it!):
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. How do you tell you best friend Darth Vader is your 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. A Finn/Ben AU where Ben never turned dark would be interesting. Or 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.
Finn/Rey
I'd love a take on their reunion post-TFA. Does Rey come back to the Resistance, or do they meet somewhere else? AU where Finn is Force-sensitive and joins Rey in training, or when they met as kids in Luke's Academy. Or they go on Jedi/Resistance adventures. They became friends so fast, what if it takes them a while to realise they're in love? Just a slice-of-life story where they learn to navigate the very different world they've landed themselves in would be great, too. Is one of them a Skywalker, and if so, who (and how do they find out)?
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/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.
Owen Lars/Beru Whitesun/Obi-Wan Kenobi
I always felt so bad for Obi-Wan being so lonely in exile (Force-ghost company or not). Obi-Wan is probably all heartbroken when he brings Luke to them and Owen and Beru seem like such kind people, they'd want to try to comfort him. Maybe he's around more than in canon (or lives with them), helping to raise Luke, and feelings grow from there. Or just slice-of-life with poly parents raising a Force-sensitive kid, maybe with bonus difficulties and perhaps some hurt/comfort since Tatooine is such a harsh world. Does Obi-Wan pine for them while clinging to the no attachment rule?
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.
