froggimus_rexDear Yoda,
First off, thanks for writing for me! Sorry for the barebones signup, this week's been a bit of a bear. I'm mostly just throwing out stuff here in case any of it sticks, so don't stress too much if something else sparks your creative juices.
An non-exhaustive list of stuff what I like:
- humour
- banter
- happy/hopefully/sweeter-side-of-bittersweet
- characters reacting to absurd situations with complete seriousness and sincerity
- smut! Feel free to go to the porny place. Or not, as the case may be.
- cheerfully agressive/rough sex
- fighting as foreplay
- f/f NEMESIS ships
- informal/playful kink
- fail!sex that somehow still ends up enjoyable for the particpants
- competence kink
- worldbuilding
- canon-divergent AUs
- crossovers
- playing with structure (eg, 5 things, epistory fic)
- character studies
- inapropriate use of the Force! Yes, that. :D
General DNWs:
overwhelming angst, unrelenting darkness, downer endings, issuefic, identity headcanons, deathfic, rape as drama, non-canon rape as backstory, omegaverse (or D/S-verse, or hanahaki, or...basically if it can be summed up as nounverb somethingworld, probably best to give it a miss), mundane AUS, focusing on bodily fluids, "formalised" kink/BDSM, humiliation, detailed gore, explicit underage (I'm fine with implicit, or fading to black, I'm just not in a porny mood for it atm), unrequested ships, femsub, present tense
These aren't in any particular order, beyond a vague attempt at thematic/era grouping.
Lana Beniko/Theron Shan
Lana Beniko & Theron Shan
OTP and BroTP. I'm super into these two as both a ship and a friendship. So really, anything exploring that. Trapped on a ship with only each other, a driod and a Wookiee for company, rebuilding trust after Lana did the thing, bickering like an old married couple, building the alliance, companion wrangling. Role-reversal AUs in just about every configuration.
If you want to deal with the current plotline (which I'm reserving judgement on until I see if they fumble the landing), I am down for an angry slapfight that ends in makeouts because I know I'm not gonna get that from canon.
In terms of shippy stuff, I am down for some tropes, angry sex, friend sex, sparring turning into sex, huddling for warmth, fake-dating, sex pollen, undercoverat a gay bar on an orgy ship, go for it.
Lana Beniko & Kira Carsen
Lana and Kira don't ever really get a cahane to interact, which is a shame, because they have a lot of background in common and were possibly even on Korriban at the same time (though the age difference means they probably never kew each other). So I'd really like something exploring that, whether it's canon compliant or goes down an AU path.
Ahsoka Tano & None
I adore Ahsoka. She's an earnest (not-so-)little smart-arse, who believes in Anakin, but also isn't afraid to give him shit, and somehow manages to be the most well-adjusted person in that entire lineage...not that that's hard. In terms of story prompts, there's a lot of backstory to play with, if you want to fill in the details on that outline Dave Filoni gave on how she came to the temple (or go full AU with Plo not managing to save her and eventual formation of the Force Senstive ex-Slaves Club, memebership three [and a half]), or the fact that she was at the temple before Anakin was, or you could fill in a bunch of the gaps between appearances.
Chelli Lona Aphra & None
Aphra is probably my favourite of the characters introduced in the new EU. She's just such a wonderful mix of being highly competent and a complete fuck-up who only really avoids being the most terrible person in the room by being in rooms with people like Darth Vader and Triple Zero. I like the way she's maybe starting to want to be not so much good, but a slightly less terrible person. I'd be interested in backstory, we know a bit about her dad, but less about her mother, beyond her death really messing Aphra up. Otherwise, missing scenes and misadventures are also things I'm totally down for.
I'm cool with background mentions of Aphra/Sana but I'd rather it not be a focus.
Chelli Lona Aphra/Ahsoka Tano
Chelli Lona Aphra & Ahsoka Tano
I just really love this ship. I think it has a bunch of fun, trainwreck potential, even if Aphra doesn't manage to fuck things up, there's the matter of tall, dark, and murderous. I mean you can make the smushname Aphrano out of it.
A couple of headcanons I have for these two (that you can run with or not, I'm cool either way) are that a) Ahsoka was bitty Aphra's first celeb crush, and b) Aphra acccidenatlly got Ahsoka off Malachor and it probably all ended in tears. Force-sentitive Aphra is not actually a theory I subscribe to, but I do think it has the potential for hilarity here.
On the more gen front, it's implied that Aphra does occasionally deal in Jedi artifacts, so there's the opportunity for her to come into contact with Ahsoka there, or perhaps Ahsoka tried (and failed?) to cultivate her as a source as Fulcrum? If you really wanted to go AU, maybe in those first few months after Order 66 Ahsoka stumbled across a tiny traumatised Aphra and things spun out from there?
Chelli Lona Aphra/Magna Tolvan
I just can't with these two. It's an adorable, faily, trainwreck in progress. Makeouts in firefights! Aphra coming out to have a good time and feeling so attacked right now. Tolvan still doesn't know Aphra's name! (Superhero AU with identity shenanigans?)
Chelli Lona Aphra/Hera Syndulla
Much like with Aphra/Tolvan, canon keeps on giving and giving and this is all going to end in tears and attempted murder and I am down for that. Seriously, hatesex, ill-advised bondage, bad ideas all around, give it to me.
Maybe they could go on a life-changing roadtrip. Aphra probably has ways of getting leads on Twi'lek artifacts stolen during the Clone War, and she'd be happy to help Hera find some, purely out of the goodness of her heart, and defintiely not because Hera has a literal blaster to her literal head. Maybe there's a horrible accident with some biotech, and surprise, Aphra's the baby-daddy! Though she's sure they can just say the Force did it.
Garik "Face" Loran & None
Faaaaaaaaaaaaace. If Aphra is my new EU fave, then Face is my Legends fave. From the part where he's just such a ridiculous troll, to how he's actually amazingly competent at what he does under the ridiculousness, to the fact he's so pretty even the narrative mentions it, I love his friendship with Ton (I don't ship it, but I can see how others can), I love his relationship with Dia, I love his backstory, I just heart him so much, and I'd really love to read anything about him. Whether that's a review of his propaganda holos, him having to be physically dragged away from getting into anonymous Holonet arguments about how PR didn't fake his death to cover up his forbidden love for Tetran Cowell, him being out-trolled by his teenage daughter, whatever.
Dia Passik & Hera Syndulla
I don't really have any solid prompts for this one, I just really think these two would spark off each other in some very interesting ways, since for their superficial similarities (green Twi'lek flygirls for the Rebellion/New Republic!) they're very different people with very differnt issues.
Sabine Wren & Galen Erso
Rex & Jyn Erso
aka, the Rogue One/Rebels childrearing mix-up requests. Both these basically come from the same place so if you feel like smushing them up go wild (or if you want to go to the Jyn/Sabine place feel free, though I'd prefer it not to be the focus)
Sabine & Galen: So that whole Sabine was a super-weapon designing progidy backstory reveal in 'Trials of the Darksaber' sparked off a lot of what-ifs. Was Sabine earmarked to be eventually funnelled to the Death Star project if she hadn't bolted? What if she'd been scooped up again by the Empire before running into the Ghost crew and sent to Eadu? Sabine is about the same age as Jyn, give or take, so how would Galen react to that? (I have this mental image of Krennic presenting her all "I found you a replacement child! Probably better than the original too! now pls stop sulking" :D :D :D) There's also some interesting parallels between Sabine and Galen at least in terms of not realising the full implications of what they were doing until they were up to their necks in it.
Rex & Jyn: Similarly, Saw and Rex being so tight in 'Ghosts of Geonosis' left me wanting some kind of Jyn and Rex action. Maybe Saw was a little less paranoid and Jyn got lessons from 'Uncle Rex' and his brothers, maybe he was differently paranoid and dumped her with Rex when he stopped trusting his own people, maybe Jyn accidentlly fetched up on Seelos during her knocking about the galaxy days and they recognised each other from Saw's descriptions. I've read 'Rebel Rising' so feel free to include things from that if you want.
