Dear creator,
Thanks so much for creating for me! I hope you'll find me an easy recipient: this letter includes a selection of my favourite things for inspiration, but I’m very open to anything you’d like to do.
I've requested fic and art for everything. Some sections of my letter are longer than others, but I’m equally excited for every request I’ve included, and for gifts of literally any size. If a prompt seems to suggest a longer story, I’d also be thrilled with a short scene or excerpt based on that concept. Feel free to get creative and go where inspiration takes you - I opt in to anything I haven't explicitly DNW'd, so please don't stress about whether your idea is too dark, too niche, not shippy enough, whatever. If you're looking at my letter thinking 'hmm, she hasn't mentioned [thing], but it doesn't seem wildly out of line with her tastes' - your instincts are good, you should include the thing, I bet I'll love it. :D

Thanks again, and happy creating!
⭐ Story likes
In general, my favourite stories are the ones where the characters feel like real, live, messy and imperfect people. I love fics that are thought-provoking or uncomfortable to read. I love to relax into well-earned (or not-so-well-earned) moments of happiness for my otherwise beleaguered faves. I love to laugh. Favourite themes include:
💀 Dark likes
Honestly, go as brutal and fucked-up as you like. There's no such thing as too dark. I love my horror both overt and covert - if you're not feeling the in-your-face disasterfest, by all means creep me out with subtle insinuations or dark twists to sweet-seeming premises. Some favourite themes:
🍑 Smut likes
Character-driven smut is my jam. I love sex that says something about the people involved, offbeat sex scenes, sex that's awkward and imperfect and humanising, unusual erogenous zones and intimate details about the characters' bodies. Favourite kinks include:
🎨 Art likes
Any of my fic likes that can translate visually are just as relevant to my taste in art. For any of my ficcier prompts or favourite tropes, I'd be over the moon to receive an illustration from the hypothetical fic that fills them. I love dark, shadowy colour palettes and goth/metal/industrial styles and an overall moody gloom. I love symbolism and meaningful visual motifs, and I'm open to oblique, metaphorical depictions of ships just as much as pictures of people kissing. (But I am also, to be clear, still very keen on pictures of people kissing.)
On a different note, fluffy art is also amazing. I love chibis, cuddle piles and all manner of sugary cuteness. Polka dots or rainbows in the background just because? You son of a bitch, I'm in. My ship holds hands in the background while their new pet hamster frolics across most of the canvas? Just make sure that little guy's cheeks are as chubby as they come! Throw my grumpy black-clad faves into a scene of lollipops and sparkles? I'll squeal so much that even my ship's new pet hamster will think I'm shrill. I also adore that trend of tiny chibi characters with food items larger than they are.
Porny art is another enthusiastic yes please. Breathless physical closeness, body hair, lean muscles, tangled limbs and pleasure-slack faces are all guaranteed to elicit lots of keysmash and blushing emojis.

I still can't believe the Mandalorian S2 finale made my favourite crack prompt basically canon. Damn RIGHT Ben and Grogu were both taught by Luke Skywalker! There's no way the two most powerful baby Jedi of their generation never met. I bet they had playdates when Ben was little, and I bet he was expected to babysit when he was older and Grogu was still toddling. Please give me adorable babies, sullen teenagers, any and all training temple shenanigans. If you like ensemble casts, their fellow students and overwhelmed caretakers are also dearly wanted.
Also dearly wanted: dark side Kylo reuniting with the little green pest years later. He'd be the galaxy's honest to god worst babysitter.
🧡 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Jacen Syndulla
🧡 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Jacen Syndulla/Poe Dameron
We all agree these guys have met, right? Jacen is a bit of a blank slate character, and I'm here for any interpretation of him, whether he takes after one or both of his parents or grows up to be a total "how did THAT happen". Some things I'd love to see:
🧡 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Qi'ra
Qi'ra is a smart, ambitious survivor who's willing to use sex and intimacy to get what she wants. Kylo is a handy source of power and also a bottomless pit of easy-to-manipulate emotional needs. I'd love to see virgin Kylo with older woman Qi'ra, or maybe Qi'ra indulging her nurturing side with a younger and more energetic toyboy. Maybe she's using him to get to Snoke, or to keep the First Order out of her private cartel business. Or maybe she sees herself as a mentor figure of sorts, an early exponent of letting the past die and becoming who you were meant to be.
I'm heavily into the Oedipal potential here: is Kylo hyper-aware that he's fucking his dad's ex? Is Qi'ra nostalgic for Han? Does it bother either of them that she's old enough to be his mother? Please feel free to lean into the age gap and keep-it-in-the-family vibe as hard as you like.
Alternatively: redeemed (ish) Ben Solo walks away from the Order but isn't quite ready to join the Fight Against Evil. Working for Qi'ra is a decent morally grey option.
🧡 Cara Dune/Sabine Wren
Two Rebel badasses, both with great hair and both with some hefty family baggage. Maybe they meet during the war and go on high-stakes crazy missions together! Or maybe they cross paths afterwards, while Sabine is on clean-up and Cara is drifting away into the underworld. Does Sabine help anchor Cara to the cause, or does Cara lure Sabine away with her? (They'd make unbelievably cool mercenaries.) I'd also love to see them bond over the weight of disappointed parental expectations - Cara too much of a warrior, Sabine not enough of one.
For art, I love Sabine's bold, bright-coloured aesthetic sense and Cara's built physique. Those BICEPS.
🧡 Fennec Shand/Qi'ra
If anyone can win the star wars, it's this terrifyingly hot power couple. Fennec has worked for "all the top crime syndicates" - that includes Crimson Dawn, right? If Qi'ra hasn't personally hired her services before, then she's certainly at least heard of her. I want all the (literally or metaphorically) cutthroat underworld politics, tense business dealings and flexible moral codes.
🧡 Finn/Kazuda Xiono
Finn and Kaz have a certain sense of overwhelmed-ness in common: they abandoned the strictures of their respective upbringings, they fell into their Resistance roles more or less by accident, they have a tendency to talk talk themselves up and then come unstuck when it's time to deliver, and they're both starry-eyed about Poe Dameron but not quite able to live up to his level of effortless heroic strut. They're both adorable failboats who nonetheless make themselves indispensable to the Resistance cause, and I'd love to see what would happen if a shared mission or a coincidence ever caused them to meet.
🧡 Hera Syndulla/Jarek Yeager
Surely these two hotshot pilots met during the civil war! Did they fly missions together? Race against each other? I'd love to know what a younger, less grief-stricken Yeager was like.Or later, long after the Empire's gone, maybe they cross paths and find comfort in each other from the lives and loves they've lost. Maybe Hera comes to lend a hand with one of Kaz's missions. (Maybe she brings Jacen with her, and the kids wreak havoc while their respective parental figures shake their heads.) Maybe the two of them join forces and fly together once more at the Battle of Exegol.
It would probably take the Doctor all of five seconds to dismantle Kylo's Big Bad Scary Grr act and get at the insecure trainwreck underneath. I wonder how their ability to find good in everyone would play off his 'yes I am a monster' issues. I'm partial to the idea that pre-fall Ben Solo had serious hangups about his family all seeing him as monstrous and damaged and incurably contaminated by the dark side. Could the Doctor, as a neutral outside party, get through to him in a way that no one else has been able to?
Another idea: when Ben vanished at the end of TROS, he didn't die - he floated off into the universe somewhere, and the Doctor found him. Now he's living out a second life, chasing redemption by doing as much good as he can wherever the TARDIS takes him.
🧡 Armitage Hux/Mirror Gabriel Lorca
Hux would get on so well with the Terrans. Gratuitous cruelty! Cutthroat, zero-sum ambition! Would Lorca recognise a kindred spirit and take Hux on as a protege? Would Hux go head to head against Lorca, only to find himself hopelessly outgunned in the psychopathy department? Does Star Wars have a Mirror Universe of its own?
I adore all the Discovery cast, so guest appearances from any of them (or their Mirror counterparts) are very welcome.
🧡 Din Djarin & Murderbot
Two painfully awkward, secretly soft-hearted killing machines who hate taking off their helmets! I'm as absolutely smitten with this crossover as I am curious to know if Din's attitude towards droids has progressed enough that he can handle spending time with a rogue SecUnit.
🧡 Faith Lehane/Phasma
Faith is my eternal Buffyverse favourite. I love her vulnerability and self-destructiveness, her yearning to belong and feel loved, and how badly it clashes with poor impulse control and her compulsive need to look tough and cool and self-sufficient at all times. I love how hard she works to establish her Brand with all the quirky slang and the swagger and the edgy-provocative wardrobe, and how transparent it is to basically everyone around her.
I feel like Phasma's tough, ruthless, survive-at-all-costs mentality would impress Faith, particularly when she's in meltdown I'm-so-evil mode. I'd love to see Phasma harness her as a new recruit or ally, as an older mentor, a trusted commander, a powerful leader who can help her claim the power she deserves. On the other hand, an older, wiser faith might see unwanted ghosts of her former self in Phasma: the selfishness, the ruthlessness, the fear beneath the glossy outer image.

I've been lowkey obsessed with this ship since the moment Bo-Katan swaggered on screen and made cool, gunslinging Mando look suddenly dweebish and awkward by comparison. Now it looks like they're set for a major rivalry in season 3! I'm so very happy, but also impatient and greedy and want more of the two of them right!!! now!!!
So, Mando's been in an ultraconservative cult this whole time - bet the sex education sucked. Bo-Katan should gently dom him as he readjusts to normal human intimacies, like exposing his face. Or she should not-so-gently dom him as they brawl-fuck their way across the rift the darksaber has inadvertently cut between them. I'd love to see them get into the weeds about What It Means To Be Mandalorian, or spar together and learn from each other's fighting styles, or spar together a little too seriously because, you know, rivals for the throne.
💛 Cara Dune/Fennec Shand
Cara and Fennec are like for-want-of-a-nail copies of each other: tough and ruthless and competent, deeply loyal, in it for the thrill. I loved seeing them team up and I'd really, really love to see more of it. Shoot-em-up missions together! Battlefield oneupmanship! Prickly moral arguments over a late night bottle of hard liquor! Competence porn! Cara struggling to reconcile her new government job with her feelings for a deadly assassin, and Fennec getting inadvertently softened up by Cara's commitment to peace and freedom!
💛 Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker & Grogu
Grogu has two dads now! I'm longing to see romance spark between Din and Luke now that Din has a reason to visit him all the time. So far he seems pretty nonplussed by the Jedi, and Ahsoka didn't stick around for long enough to clear things up for him - what does he make of them once he gets to know one? And how does Grogu adapt to being back in school - does he make fast progress under his new master, or does he struggle to readjust?

💚 Maria Rambeau/Minn-Erva
💚 Gamora/Minn-Erva
💚 Gamora/Minn-Erva/Nebula
💚 Minn-Erva/Nebula
💚 Loki/Minn-Erva
💚 Minn-Erva/Valkyrie
My feelings about Valkyrie: Less ‘flawless warrior queen’, more ‘trashfire chaos woman who would die for her friends in a heartbeat but who also probably turns her knickers inside out for a second day’s wear because she forgot to do laundry for six week straight’.
My feelings about Valkyrie and Minn-Erva as a couple: Two trashfire chaos women teach other to care again while having lots of banter and really hot sex.
I'll take any excuse for these two to get together. Awkward diplomacy between Hala and Asgard? Joint missions with their respective military forces? Surprise encounters in a dive bar in space? After "dying" on Earth, Minn-Erva washes up on Sakaar? Plotty or cracky, handwavey or ultra-detailed, I don't mind. I just really, really want them to meet.

⛔ Canon-specific DNW: romanticised Ash/L'Rell. It's great if he has complicated feelings about their history and unwanted memories of Voq's attraction to her, but please have him remember those rapes as rapes, and please don't focus on the ship except as whumpy backstory for Ash.
💙 Ash Tyler/Christopher Pike
Banter, mistrust and mutually reluctant sexual chemistry are my themes of choice for this ship. I love that they both essentially want the same things for Starfleet and the Disco crew but have deeply conflicting ideas about how to achieve it. Consider: what if they're forced to work together even more closely than in canon? What if they get stranded together on a hostile planet and have to huddle for warmth? What if their shuttle runs out of fuel while they're out on a duo mission? What if there's only one bed? Basically, I want to see their faces aggressively smushed together until they kiss out of sheer frustration.
I'm also a huge fan of Ash getting whumped and being all prettily stoic about it. Illness, injury and PTSD flashbacks are all music to my id, as is gruff, halting comfort from Chris who still doesn't trust this guy but can't help admiring his toughness.
💙 Ash Tyler/Mirror Philippa Georgiou
Porn: I want Georgiou to dom the ever-loving hell out of Ash while being as Terran about his Klingon heritage as possible. And I'd love him to go along with it not in a worshipping-his-empress way, but in a resigned, nihilistic, hey-at-least-the-sex-is-hot way. Possibly with some weird, uncomfortable unspoken feelings about Burnham happening on both sides.
Not-porn: They're both weak for Burnham, so they can bond over their shared desperation to protect her! I adored that split-second beat they had with the baby, and would love to see more of Ash catching Georgiou in incongruously soft moments. I'd love tense fic about them working together in Section 31 - Georgiou is coming back to the main timeline for that, right? - and gradually coming to, if not trust each other, then appreciate each other's usefulness.
💙 Jett Reno/Mirror Philippa Georgiou
I'm a simple woman with simple needs, and those needs are for the two scorching hot canonically woman-fucking women to fuck each other. That sentence was a mess because I switched my entire brain off while writing it, because I was (and am) distracted by how hot Reno and Georgiou are. No apologies. Please let the hot ladies use those sharp, sharp tongues for the two things they do best together: eat pussy and shred each other with banter.
I'd also love to meet Mirror Jett Reno because HOO BOY, she would be terrifying and brilliant.

There are so many exquisitely painful ways these two characters' paths have collided and could collide again. Leia's isnt the only life Ransolm upended when he revealed the truth of her parentage. Just imagine Ben off on some unreachably distant Jedi field trip, turning on the space TV and learning from the impersonal face of one of his mother's colleagues that he's descended from Vader. By the time he has taken the throne, Ransolm's been transferred from his homeworld prison to First Order custody and is back at the mercy of a masked dark Force user. His efforts to destroy Vader's legacy were a small but pivotal part of what helped resurrect it.
Some ideas:
Back to top
🖤 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Terex
I'm obsessed with Terex's see-saw morality - his devotion to the Empire and its vision of galactic order on the one hand, his chaotic and self-serving criminality on the other. His contempt for 'that freak Kylo Ren' is a thing of trashfire hateshippy beauty, and his unflinching self-harm to override those implants hits me right in the id every time. He wants to strip the galaxy of its freedom but he values his own so much he'd rather die without it. I'd love to see him and Kylo get in each other's way while they're both working for the First Order, and clash hard on their values despite being theoretically on the same side.
I'd also love to see Terex and Kylo as prickly, unpopular First Order defectors. Maybe they fall into Poe's reluctant care because no one else is willing to put up with them! Maybe they both defect completely separately and are dismayed to find themselves working together once again! Or maybe they stay First Order loyal but get tangled up with Poe when a mission goes wrong and strands all three of them together somewhere. Naturally, wherever it is, there's only one bed.
🖤 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Tai
So: that 'special bond', right??? I renounce everything I've ever said about Ben the Kissless Virgin, because clearly he and Tai spent many a recess hooking up under the bleachers at Jedi school. Tai is the only person in the galaxy Ben trusts to see him as a person instead of a legacy. And now Tai is gone and there's nothing for it but to renounce his entire past self and become evil. I knew Ben's turn was going to be tragic but I'm still reeling that it turned out so goddamn romantic.
(I also like the precedent it sets of Ben being prone to turning on a dime and changing personalities like clothes for love. He definitely has a little bit of that Rebecca Bunch, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend vibe going on.)
I'd love to know about their temple adventures together and the bond they built along the way! Group assignment where their task is to fly offworld together and find some ancient Jedi treasure? Sparring sessions? Late night conversations and telepathic bby!Jedi intimacy? (Please do make them 18+ if you go the explicit smut route, but I have no objection to T-rated teenage fumbling.) Or, how about their bond after Ben leaves to join the Knights of Ren - is Mimban the first time they've spoken since Ben's flight, or has the Force connected them before and shown Tai flashes of who Ben is becoming? What about the aftermath of Tai's death? Grief, ghosts, spooky darkside resurrection attempts?
🖤 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Voe
I love Voe's quick temper and determination, her competitive streak and her bitter struggle to fit herself into the serene Jedi mould. I love how her own insecurities cause her to uncritically buy into the Ben Solo, Super Special Skywalker Descendant mythos, and how it's her need to prove herself against him that puts them on uneven footing as much as any innate gift on his part. And Ben's so casually dismissive about 'her place in the way of things'. It makes me MAD for her but in a way I enjoy being mad, if that makes sense, lol.
I'd love to see more of her and Ben's one-sided rivalry during their temple days. Maybe, as they get older, their raging hormones and limited social circle make a bad idea look more like a good one. Maybe Voe's drive to match Ben's power morphs into a more general (albeit resentful) admiration - we know Ben's a flaming human trashfire, but she doesn't. Or maybe she does. Maybe she senses the darkness brewing in Ben, but her foresight gets mistaken for jealousy. Maybe sex is the only arena where she feels like she can get the upper hand (sub Ben is good!) or maybe even there she ends up feeling less than (failboaty wannabe-Dom Ben who's clearly driving without a licence is also good!).
I'm very fond of the other students, so any kind of ensemble fic or outside POV on the relationship is very welcome. I love all the potential for petty highschool/college drama made more volatile by the fact that every single student in their tiny school has superpowers. Bring me gossip, top secret diary entries and all permutations of young Jedi taking themselves far too seriously. What does keen-eyed empath Tai make of what's going on between two of his closest friends? How about Hennix, when he looks up from his logic puzzles? For that matter, how full are Luke's hands dealing with his brood of headstrong young adults who he swears were biddable children five minutes ago?
Or later, once everything's gone to hell, let Voe survive. Let her claw her way off Mimban somehow and come back as Kylo's first failed attempt to kill his past. Does she make her way to the Resistance and devote herself to bringing him down? Does the rage and trauma turn her to the dark side? Or does she strike out on her own, grey-dark and driven by a need for revenge? Maybe she becomes a thorn in Kylo's side as he tries to establish himself with the Knights of Ren and the First Order. Or maybe she comes back years later, post-TROS, forcing redeemed and still-alive Ben to confront the first act of true senseless evil he ever committed.

Hera is one of my favourite badasses in the GFFA. Kallus is one of my favourite redemption cases. Hera can offer Kallus comfort and reconnection after his defection from the Empire! Kallus can offer Hera comfort and reconnection after Kanan's death! If anything happens between them while Kanan is still alive, please don't have it happen behind Kanan's back or in a way that implies a major problem for Hera and Kanan's budding romance if he found out. Maybe sexual exclusivity isn't a thing in space, or Kanan isn't the jealous type, or you just don't mention him at all and I form my own conclusions. Basically complex relationships and offhand it's-all-fine-here nonmonogamy are :D :D :D, but malicious infidelity makes me :(.
I love the idea of the two of them finding peace in each other once the war is over. Maybe they settle down and raise Jacen together. Maybe there are some teething issues as two veterans who've seen hell and lost loved ones adjust to civilian life. Maybe something happens to drag them back into the mess, and they get to swing into action as a badass new power couple. Or maybe they're not a thing yet, and the sorely missed adrenaline is what tips them over.
💗 C1-10P | Chopper & Hera Syndulla
Droid antics, please! I want to hear all about the nonsense Chopper has put Hera through over the years (or, from his point of view, the nonsense he has put up with in her service). I love how bonded they are even though neither of them would ever admit it. Was it love at first sight after Hera salvaged Chopper, or did it take time for the fondness to develop? How many times have they saved each other's skin/chassis? Post-canon, does Chopper become a grumpy foul-mouthed uncle to Jacen?
Back to top
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rey
I don't think I'm ever going to be over the beautiful mess that is Rey and Kylo's relationship. It's been more than a year since TROS and I'm still blown away that my ship actually went canon. What I love most about them are their sharp edges: the baggage, the damage they've done to each other, the inescapable intensity of the Force bond, the fact that Ben's an utter disaster human and Rey has no tolerance at all for his bullshit (but keeps getting drawn in anyway, because Force bond + irresistible chemistry).
I'm here for every version of them building a life together after canon - Ben can be a ghost, or he can be alive, or he can be a ghost who gets brought back to life or reincarnated in another body or jammed inside Rey's head as an extra passenger or whatever other Force weirdness tickles your fancy. I'm here for every AU in which he stops being a dickhead earlier in canon, but is still kind of a dickhead anyway even if he's a loyal Jedi / willing FO defector / grey-moral smuggler / whatever. I'm here for inappropriate uses of the Force in smut, and flimsy uses of the Force as a plot device to make time travel or fuck-or-die or medically improbable hurt/comfort or your choice of trope possible. Honestly, go wild.
🤎 Finn/Rey
Rey confiding her dark vision in Finn was the moment that took me from ‘they’re cute together’ to ‘actually I ship it like burning’. Their intimacy and mutual trust are gorgeous, but I’m less interested in the happy, healthy side of their relationship than I am in the trauma and struggle underpinning it: Finn knows what it’s like to feel morally unmoored, and Rey knows he’s the one person she can talk to about the strain of choosing good when fate seems determined to pull her towards evil. They’ve both seen so much darkness and they’ve both come dangerously close to giving into it. They’ve both had a hard, messy time figuring out who they actually are. I want to see more of that mess and its aftermath. Some prompts:
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Finn
I love these two as enemies drawn together by circumstance, as foils to each other's best and worst traits, as lost soul with a shared background in evil doing their best to leave the First Order's influence behind. I love pre-canon stories where stormtrooper!Finn stumbles into his scariest commander's orbit (only to find that maybe he isn't so scary after all?). I love post-canon or divergent stories where Ben defects to the Resistance and Finn helps him find his footing on the new terrain. I love happy endings and bleak disasters and bittersweet could-have-beens. Honestly, if these two are interacting, I'm happy.
Some ideas:
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Finn/Poe Dameron/Rey
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rey & Finn & Poe Dameron
I will never, ever get tired of Ben surviving TROS and having to integrate into Rey's life with her friends/lovers who he variously tortured and brutalised. I'll take literally any spin on this scenario. Slightly prickly but ultimately healthy and uplifting poly? Toxic disaster foursome held together by nothing but lust and sheer stubbornness? Group adventures taking down what's left of the First Order? Team visits to the max sec prison Ben gets locked in after the war?
I love AUs where Ben defects earlier in canon, or where he never goes dark in the first place and instead shows up as the bad-tempered, difficult son of General Leia. Does he fight for the cause voluntarily, or show up now and then to lend a grudging helping hand? How differently does the war with the First Order go without him there to act as Snoke's enforcer?
Or, if Ben is still Kylo, I also love forced-to-work-together and redemption-by-seduction tropes.
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Finn/Rey
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rey & Finn
All of them have the Force now! Let's see Ben, alive or as a Force ghost, helping train Finn in the use of his powers while introducing him to all the weird bits of life with the Force that the books and old masters don't tell you about. Let's see Finn coming to terms with this new part of his identity - maybe he doesn't even want to be a Jedi! Maybe he's seen enough of where that path leads, and is content to live his life as a normal guy who just has flashes of intuition now and then. Let's see Rey explore two completely different kinds of connection: the togetherness-whether-you-like-it-or-not of her Force bond with Ben, verses her voluntary kindred-spirit intimacy with Finn.
Or, pre-Bendemption, drag Finn into the weird spooky sort-of relationship Rey and Kylo have going.
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rose Tico
I'm really into the ethical clash between these two: Kylo with his love of power and his violent authoritarian leanings, Rose with her sense of justice and compassion for the underdog. I'd love to see the two of them build a relationship of some kind, either with Kylo in full First Order meltdown mode or redeemed Ben Solo cooperating with the Resistance afterwards. Some prompts:
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Zorii Bliss
Hear me out: Ben survives TROS but doesn't exactly find it easy to slot back into good guy life with Rey and her Resistance pals. Zorii has no room in her heart for First Order Sky Trash but needs new crew after what happened to Kijimi. I'd love to see Ben tapping back into his Legendary Smuggler Han Solo roots, Zorii taking life one step at a time, and two attractive, damaged people with nothing in common finding a way to make it work together anyway.
Alternatively: in a happier AU, Ben never fell to the dark side but instead ran off to join the Crew, who found a use or two for his Force sensitivity. Poe is very welcome to join in here, either as a romantic complicating factor or as the snarky friend/colleague who clashes with both of them.
🤎 Phasma/Rose Tico
I'd love this dark and twisted: Rose falls into First Order captivity? AU where Rose joins the First Order after being radicalised in the other direction by her childhood on Hosnian Prime? Survival story where the two of them get stranded together and are forced to work together?
I also love the idea of Phasma getting out of the Order and having to find a new cause to keep herself afloat. Maybe it ends up being in her interests to defect to the Resistance. Or maybe she survives the war and they run into each other somewhere down the line, once old hostilities have had time to cool and all that's left are half-healed scars.

🤍 Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian/Xue Yang
🤍 Lan Zhan/Xue Yang
🤍 Song Lan/Xiao Xingchen/Xue Yang
Xue Yang is my favourite remorseless trashfire: his tragic food-driven backstory speaks straight to my lizard brain, and I love his selfish obsession with compensating for the deprivations of his childhood at any cost. I love his cheeky grin, his boyish glee, and his profound spiritual talent that he draws on erratically with no apparent long-term goal in mind. I love how emotionally stunted he is, how he's incapable of empathising with others or even recognising his own more complex feelings. He's an utterly broken person and I want to glory in his brokenness.
Feed him, please. That's all I've got. I just want to see him eat.
I'd love to see any of the requested characters reaching out to Xue Yang with food - to try and bring him around, or just to distract him from causing havoc at a critical moment? Alternatively, they capture him and use food as a control mechanism - by all means, go dark with this.

⭐ Story likes
In general, my favourite stories are the ones where the characters feel like real, live, messy and imperfect people. I love fics that are thought-provoking or uncomfortable to read. I love to relax into well-earned (or not-so-well-earned) moments of happiness for my otherwise beleaguered faves. I love to laugh. Favourite themes include:
- anything with a strong character focus
- characters who are flawed and abrasive and challenging to love; difficult or dysfunctional relationships
- dark/gritty/moody aesthetics
- imperfect happiness, bittersweet undertones, unfulfilled yearning
- ensemble casts, background characters, outsider POV
- complex romantic histories, past/background relationships, characters who have lives outside each other
- mundane details, little moments of human vulnerability
- politics, bureaucracy, propaganda
- banter, snark, gallows humour, quippiness
- guilty pleasures: denying them, suppressing them, and finally giving into temptation
- tropes: hurt/comfort, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, huddling for warmth, fake relationships, bodyswap
- descriptions of food, characters eating or sharing food, food as comfort
- military kink: uniforms, weapons, ‘sir’
- harsh environments, brutal weather, survival/adventure stories
- redemption (or failed redemption)
- crack treated seriously
- non-standard formats: drabbles, non-linear, epistolary, social media, in-universe meta.
💀 Dark likes
Honestly, go as brutal and fucked-up as you like. There's no such thing as too dark. I love my horror both overt and covert - if you're not feeling the in-your-face disasterfest, by all means creep me out with subtle insinuations or dark twists to sweet-seeming premises. Some favourite themes:
- noncon/dubcon (see my 2019 nonconathon letter for a still-current laundry list of kinks I love)
- bad guys win, good guys go bad
- grey morality, antiheroes, villain-centred morality
- extremist politics, callous bureaucracies, the mundane horrors of life under the jackboot
- 'ugly' mental illness: violence, paranoia, self-destructiveness, warped thinking
- self-harm, suicide attempts or ideation
- psychological horror
- coercion, blackmail, abuse of power
- victim blaming
- self-harm, self-destructiveness, suicide attempts
- physical torture: flogging, beating, burrning, bone-breaking, electrocuting
- psychological/'enhanced interrogation' style torture: sleep deprivation, solitary confinement, stress positions, extreme noise and temperature, deliberate humiliation.
🍑 Smut likes
Character-driven smut is my jam. I love sex that says something about the people involved, offbeat sex scenes, sex that's awkward and imperfect and humanising, unusual erogenous zones and intimate details about the characters' bodies. Favourite kinks include:
- orgasm delay/denial, sexual frustration, begging
- coming too quickly, loss of control, getting overwhelmed
- crying after sex
- rough sex, hate sex, power imbalances
- on the other hand: tender, adoring, needy sex with lavish attention to each other's pleasure
- humiliation, verbal insults, gendered slurs
- frottage, dry humping, clothed sex
- sex pollen, fuck-or-die
- different erogenous zones, being sensitive in non-genital places
- anal sex (het or slash), double or multiple penetration
- sounding, watersports, forced wetting
- public use, gangbangs
- loss of virginity, inexperience, clumsy sex
- praise kink
- scar worship
- uncomfortable, consensual-but-unpleasant type sex
- under-negotiated kinks
- any level of complex, problematic or questionable consent.
🎨 Art likes
Any of my fic likes that can translate visually are just as relevant to my taste in art. For any of my ficcier prompts or favourite tropes, I'd be over the moon to receive an illustration from the hypothetical fic that fills them. I love dark, shadowy colour palettes and goth/metal/industrial styles and an overall moody gloom. I love symbolism and meaningful visual motifs, and I'm open to oblique, metaphorical depictions of ships just as much as pictures of people kissing. (But I am also, to be clear, still very keen on pictures of people kissing.)
On a different note, fluffy art is also amazing. I love chibis, cuddle piles and all manner of sugary cuteness. Polka dots or rainbows in the background just because? You son of a bitch, I'm in. My ship holds hands in the background while their new pet hamster frolics across most of the canvas? Just make sure that little guy's cheeks are as chubby as they come! Throw my grumpy black-clad faves into a scene of lollipops and sparkles? I'll squeal so much that even my ship's new pet hamster will think I'm shrill. I also adore that trend of tiny chibi characters with food items larger than they are.
Porny art is another enthusiastic yes please. Breathless physical closeness, body hair, lean muscles, tangled limbs and pleasure-slack faces are all guaranteed to elicit lots of keysmash and blushing emojis.

Faith is my eternal favourite character for this fandom, and there's no part of her story that I don't unreservedly love. I'm here for the early days where she's acting out out, or the later days where she's matured and calmed down and resolved to make amends, or canon-divergent AUs from any point in her arc. What gets me most about her character is the vulnerability and self-destructiveness: her yearning to belong and feel loved, and how badly it clashes with poor impulse control and her compulsive need to look tough and cool and self-sufficient at all times. I love how hard she works to establish her Brand with all the quirky slang and the swagger and the edgy-provocative wardrobe, and how transparent it is to basically everyone around her.

Things I'd love to see for any ship: Force her out of her comfort zone. We know Faith gets around, but has she ever been with a woman before? I'd love to see her working hard to keep up her usual bravado while feeling totally out of her depth in her new romance. Maybe her partner is older or more experienced, and she has to learn for the first time how to relax and let herself be led. Maybe she initiated her same-sex tangle for reasons of Hey Look Boys It's Your Faux-Lesbian Fantasy, and is totally blindsided when her attraction turns out to be sincere. Maybe men are for no-strings-attached fun, but women are where her emotions come out and she falls kicking and screaming into earnest, uncynical, painfully vulnerable love.
Conversely: let her be fun, free-spirited and blithely bisexual. Maybe she's the more experienced bad girl who takes her love interest out on the town to show them a good time. Or maybe she tries to do that, but due to her deficiencies in the planning department, it all goes pear-shaped and their date ends up ruined by an apocalypse, forcing Faith to multitask wildly as she tries to flirt and slay at the same time.
Some art likes: Faith's fashion sense. That pouty sad face Eliza Dushku makes. Aaaaall the gratuitously cheesy Buffyverse imagery - stakes, crosses, vampires, demons. BDSM. Surprise tenderness. Tough black-clad character and her sweet colourful girlfriend.

Crossover Fandom
Star Wars universe
🧡 Baby Yoda & Ben Solo | Kylo RenI still can't believe the Mandalorian S2 finale made my favourite crack prompt basically canon. Damn RIGHT Ben and Grogu were both taught by Luke Skywalker! There's no way the two most powerful baby Jedi of their generation never met. I bet they had playdates when Ben was little, and I bet he was expected to babysit when he was older and Grogu was still toddling. Please give me adorable babies, sullen teenagers, any and all training temple shenanigans. If you like ensemble casts, their fellow students and overwhelmed caretakers are also dearly wanted.
Also dearly wanted: dark side Kylo reuniting with the little green pest years later. He'd be the galaxy's honest to god worst babysitter.
🧡 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Jacen Syndulla
🧡 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Jacen Syndulla/Poe Dameron
We all agree these guys have met, right? Jacen is a bit of a blank slate character, and I'm here for any interpretation of him, whether he takes after one or both of his parents or grows up to be a total "how did THAT happen". Some things I'd love to see:
- The smuggler AU where Jacen and Ben (and Poe) decide living up to their family legacies isn't really their thing after all, and fly off to pursue a life of highly profitable crime instead. Maybe they still do jobs for the Resistance sometimes when one of their parents calls in a favour.
- Ben and Jacen train as Jedi together.
- During the war, Poe and Jacen commiserate about their past with Ben while teaming up to fight Kylo Ren.
- After the war, both/all of them find their way back to each other.
🧡 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Qi'ra
Qi'ra is a smart, ambitious survivor who's willing to use sex and intimacy to get what she wants. Kylo is a handy source of power and also a bottomless pit of easy-to-manipulate emotional needs. I'd love to see virgin Kylo with older woman Qi'ra, or maybe Qi'ra indulging her nurturing side with a younger and more energetic toyboy. Maybe she's using him to get to Snoke, or to keep the First Order out of her private cartel business. Or maybe she sees herself as a mentor figure of sorts, an early exponent of letting the past die and becoming who you were meant to be.
I'm heavily into the Oedipal potential here: is Kylo hyper-aware that he's fucking his dad's ex? Is Qi'ra nostalgic for Han? Does it bother either of them that she's old enough to be his mother? Please feel free to lean into the age gap and keep-it-in-the-family vibe as hard as you like.
Alternatively: redeemed (ish) Ben Solo walks away from the Order but isn't quite ready to join the Fight Against Evil. Working for Qi'ra is a decent morally grey option.
🧡 Cara Dune/Sabine Wren
Two Rebel badasses, both with great hair and both with some hefty family baggage. Maybe they meet during the war and go on high-stakes crazy missions together! Or maybe they cross paths afterwards, while Sabine is on clean-up and Cara is drifting away into the underworld. Does Sabine help anchor Cara to the cause, or does Cara lure Sabine away with her? (They'd make unbelievably cool mercenaries.) I'd also love to see them bond over the weight of disappointed parental expectations - Cara too much of a warrior, Sabine not enough of one.
For art, I love Sabine's bold, bright-coloured aesthetic sense and Cara's built physique. Those BICEPS.
🧡 Fennec Shand/Qi'ra
If anyone can win the star wars, it's this terrifyingly hot power couple. Fennec has worked for "all the top crime syndicates" - that includes Crimson Dawn, right? If Qi'ra hasn't personally hired her services before, then she's certainly at least heard of her. I want all the (literally or metaphorically) cutthroat underworld politics, tense business dealings and flexible moral codes.
🧡 Finn/Kazuda Xiono
Finn and Kaz have a certain sense of overwhelmed-ness in common: they abandoned the strictures of their respective upbringings, they fell into their Resistance roles more or less by accident, they have a tendency to talk talk themselves up and then come unstuck when it's time to deliver, and they're both starry-eyed about Poe Dameron but not quite able to live up to his level of effortless heroic strut. They're both adorable failboats who nonetheless make themselves indispensable to the Resistance cause, and I'd love to see what would happen if a shared mission or a coincidence ever caused them to meet.
🧡 Hera Syndulla/Jarek Yeager
Surely these two hotshot pilots met during the civil war! Did they fly missions together? Race against each other? I'd love to know what a younger, less grief-stricken Yeager was like.Or later, long after the Empire's gone, maybe they cross paths and find comfort in each other from the lives and loves they've lost. Maybe Hera comes to lend a hand with one of Kaz's missions. (Maybe she brings Jacen with her, and the kids wreak havoc while their respective parental figures shake their heads.) Maybe the two of them join forces and fly together once more at the Battle of Exegol.
Star Wars/Various
🧡 Any Doctor & Ben Solo | Kylo RenIt would probably take the Doctor all of five seconds to dismantle Kylo's Big Bad Scary Grr act and get at the insecure trainwreck underneath. I wonder how their ability to find good in everyone would play off his 'yes I am a monster' issues. I'm partial to the idea that pre-fall Ben Solo had serious hangups about his family all seeing him as monstrous and damaged and incurably contaminated by the dark side. Could the Doctor, as a neutral outside party, get through to him in a way that no one else has been able to?
Another idea: when Ben vanished at the end of TROS, he didn't die - he floated off into the universe somewhere, and the Doctor found him. Now he's living out a second life, chasing redemption by doing as much good as he can wherever the TARDIS takes him.
🧡 Armitage Hux/Mirror Gabriel Lorca
Hux would get on so well with the Terrans. Gratuitous cruelty! Cutthroat, zero-sum ambition! Would Lorca recognise a kindred spirit and take Hux on as a protege? Would Hux go head to head against Lorca, only to find himself hopelessly outgunned in the psychopathy department? Does Star Wars have a Mirror Universe of its own?
I adore all the Discovery cast, so guest appearances from any of them (or their Mirror counterparts) are very welcome.
🧡 Din Djarin & Murderbot
Two painfully awkward, secretly soft-hearted killing machines who hate taking off their helmets! I'm as absolutely smitten with this crossover as I am curious to know if Din's attitude towards droids has progressed enough that he can handle spending time with a rogue SecUnit.
🧡 Faith Lehane/Phasma
Faith is my eternal Buffyverse favourite. I love her vulnerability and self-destructiveness, her yearning to belong and feel loved, and how badly it clashes with poor impulse control and her compulsive need to look tough and cool and self-sufficient at all times. I love how hard she works to establish her Brand with all the quirky slang and the swagger and the edgy-provocative wardrobe, and how transparent it is to basically everyone around her.
I feel like Phasma's tough, ruthless, survive-at-all-costs mentality would impress Faith, particularly when she's in meltdown I'm-so-evil mode. I'd love to see Phasma harness her as a new recruit or ally, as an older mentor, a trusted commander, a powerful leader who can help her claim the power she deserves. On the other hand, an older, wiser faith might see unwanted ghosts of her former self in Phasma: the selfishness, the ruthlessness, the fear beneath the glossy outer image.

The Mandalorian
💛 Bo-Katan Kryze/Din DjarinI've been lowkey obsessed with this ship since the moment Bo-Katan swaggered on screen and made cool, gunslinging Mando look suddenly dweebish and awkward by comparison. Now it looks like they're set for a major rivalry in season 3! I'm so very happy, but also impatient and greedy and want more of the two of them right!!! now!!!
So, Mando's been in an ultraconservative cult this whole time - bet the sex education sucked. Bo-Katan should gently dom him as he readjusts to normal human intimacies, like exposing his face. Or she should not-so-gently dom him as they brawl-fuck their way across the rift the darksaber has inadvertently cut between them. I'd love to see them get into the weeds about What It Means To Be Mandalorian, or spar together and learn from each other's fighting styles, or spar together a little too seriously because, you know, rivals for the throne.
💛 Cara Dune/Fennec Shand
Cara and Fennec are like for-want-of-a-nail copies of each other: tough and ruthless and competent, deeply loyal, in it for the thrill. I loved seeing them team up and I'd really, really love to see more of it. Shoot-em-up missions together! Battlefield oneupmanship! Prickly moral arguments over a late night bottle of hard liquor! Competence porn! Cara struggling to reconcile her new government job with her feelings for a deadly assassin, and Fennec getting inadvertently softened up by Cara's commitment to peace and freedom!
💛 Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker & Grogu
Grogu has two dads now! I'm longing to see romance spark between Din and Luke now that Din has a reason to visit him all the time. So far he seems pretty nonplussed by the Jedi, and Ahsoka didn't stick around for long enough to clear things up for him - what does he make of them once he gets to know one? And how does Grogu adapt to being back in school - does he make fast progress under his new master, or does he struggle to readjust?

Marvel Cinematic Universe
💚 Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau/Minn-ErvaCarol: What happens when her Kree and human lives intersect? I wonder if Minn-Erva was someone that she, in her Vers phase, tried to look to as a Maria replacement - the only other woman on an all-male team except that, unlike Maria, Minn-Erva was never interested in bonding over the fact. Now that Carol has Maria back, surely Minn-Erva shouldn't matter any more. But she does.
Minn-Erva: How might she find herself a new place on Earth? I love fish-out-of-water stories and culture clashes of all kinds, and would love to see something about Minn-Erva adjusting to life away from Kree civilisation with the help of her long-suffering girlfriends. Or of she's still in antagonist mode, how might she feel witnessing Carol and Maria's closeness? Maybe it'll suit her goals to use them against each other?
Maria: Man, she took it like a champ when her long lost best friend showed up in her home, manifesting weird new magic powers and unable to remember any of her past life. How's she going to feel when a whole new Kree expat shows up in her life, cut off from her homeworld with nowhere else to go, vulnerable and maybe still just a little homicidally dangerous?
💚 Maria Rambeau/Minn-Erva
Stuck on Earth after crashing her ship, Minn-Erva goes looking for - what? A place to stay while she figures out her way back home? An indirect way to avenger herself on Carol? Help adjusting to her new, unwanted life on this shithole backwater planet?
Or please feel free to draw from my Carol/Minn-Erva or Carol/Minn-Erva/Maria prompts, as my interests here aren't that different.
💚 Gamora/Minn-Erva
💚 Gamora/Minn-Erva/Nebula
💚 Minn-Erva/Nebula
Minn-Erva meets one or more angry, battle-hardened daughters of Thanos in the line of duty - perhaps while Nebula was working with Ronan the Accuser, or while Gamora was sneaking around the galaxy as an assassin for hire. Are they forced to cooperate, to fight together? Are they at odds with each other and forced to fight?
I don't follow the comics and don't know much about the Kree, but I'm very interested in worldbuilding about their civilisation in an MCU context. How do they fit into the wider galaxy? What do non-Kree like Gamora and Nebula think of the Kree’s view of themselves as the chosen people? How do the Kree feel about Thanos, and what’s Minn-Erva’s attitude towards his children?
I also ship Gamora and Nebula together, so if you go the triad or threesome route, you're very welcome to write them as a separate or established couple!
💚 Loki/Minn-Erva
Let these two fight for the title of bitchiest blue-skinned goth in all the Nine Realms! I love their snark and cynicism, and the fact that they’re both on the hands-off end of the fighting spectrum: Minn-Erva with her sniper rifle, Loki with his magic and illusions, both of them physically unimposing and both of them absolutely lethal. They’re also intelligent and educated, if you go with the extra-canon tidbit that Minn-Erva has a medical background.
I’d love to see them bond over being (as far as they’re concerned) the smart, strategic ones in a room full of muscular meatheads. I’d love to see Loki on Hala ingratiating himself with the Kree top brass, as he tends to do wherever he goes. Or maybe they’ve both survived their respective canon ordeals and are exiles of a sort, alienated from their homeworlds and floating around space and/or Earth finding shady ways to keep themselves alive. Maybe, having lost their homes, the two of them find a new kind of belonging together.
💚 Minn-Erva/Valkyrie
My feelings about Valkyrie: Less ‘flawless warrior queen’, more ‘trashfire chaos woman who would die for her friends in a heartbeat but who also probably turns her knickers inside out for a second day’s wear because she forgot to do laundry for six week straight’.
My feelings about Valkyrie and Minn-Erva as a couple: Two trashfire chaos women teach other to care again while having lots of banter and really hot sex.
I'll take any excuse for these two to get together. Awkward diplomacy between Hala and Asgard? Joint missions with their respective military forces? Surprise encounters in a dive bar in space? After "dying" on Earth, Minn-Erva washes up on Sakaar? Plotty or cracky, handwavey or ultra-detailed, I don't mind. I just really, really want them to meet.

Star Trek: Discovery
Seasons 1 and 2 are my happy place for this canon. I'm not at all spoiler-averse for season 3 but can't guarantee I'll have caught up with the show by the time reveals come around, so I'd prefer a gift that's either set before the big time jump or doesn't require more than a wiki-skim familiarity with the plot of recent episodes.⛔ Canon-specific DNW: romanticised Ash/L'Rell. It's great if he has complicated feelings about their history and unwanted memories of Voq's attraction to her, but please have him remember those rapes as rapes, and please don't focus on the ship except as whumpy backstory for Ash.
💙 Ash Tyler/Christopher Pike
Banter, mistrust and mutually reluctant sexual chemistry are my themes of choice for this ship. I love that they both essentially want the same things for Starfleet and the Disco crew but have deeply conflicting ideas about how to achieve it. Consider: what if they're forced to work together even more closely than in canon? What if they get stranded together on a hostile planet and have to huddle for warmth? What if their shuttle runs out of fuel while they're out on a duo mission? What if there's only one bed? Basically, I want to see their faces aggressively smushed together until they kiss out of sheer frustration.
I'm also a huge fan of Ash getting whumped and being all prettily stoic about it. Illness, injury and PTSD flashbacks are all music to my id, as is gruff, halting comfort from Chris who still doesn't trust this guy but can't help admiring his toughness.
💙 Ash Tyler/Mirror Philippa Georgiou
Porn: I want Georgiou to dom the ever-loving hell out of Ash while being as Terran about his Klingon heritage as possible. And I'd love him to go along with it not in a worshipping-his-empress way, but in a resigned, nihilistic, hey-at-least-the-sex-is-hot way. Possibly with some weird, uncomfortable unspoken feelings about Burnham happening on both sides.
Not-porn: They're both weak for Burnham, so they can bond over their shared desperation to protect her! I adored that split-second beat they had with the baby, and would love to see more of Ash catching Georgiou in incongruously soft moments. I'd love tense fic about them working together in Section 31 - Georgiou is coming back to the main timeline for that, right? - and gradually coming to, if not trust each other, then appreciate each other's usefulness.
💙 Jett Reno/Mirror Philippa Georgiou
I'm a simple woman with simple needs, and those needs are for the two scorching hot canonically woman-fucking women to fuck each other. That sentence was a mess because I switched my entire brain off while writing it, because I was (and am) distracted by how hot Reno and Georgiou are. No apologies. Please let the hot ladies use those sharp, sharp tongues for the two things they do best together: eat pussy and shred each other with banter.
I'd also love to meet Mirror Jett Reno because HOO BOY, she would be terrifying and brilliant.

Star Wars: Bloodline
💜 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Ransolm CasterfoThere are so many exquisitely painful ways these two characters' paths have collided and could collide again. Leia's isnt the only life Ransolm upended when he revealed the truth of her parentage. Just imagine Ben off on some unreachably distant Jedi field trip, turning on the space TV and learning from the impersonal face of one of his mother's colleagues that he's descended from Vader. By the time he has taken the throne, Ransolm's been transferred from his homeworld prison to First Order custody and is back at the mercy of a masked dark Force user. His efforts to destroy Vader's legacy were a small but pivotal part of what helped resurrect it.
Some ideas:
- Ben and Ransolm have met before, on one of Ben's visits home from the temple. He was already showing an interest in the Empire, though he wasn't exactly forthcoming about his growing pull towards the dark side. Ransolm just thought he'd found a hot, likeminded friend to show off his collection of Imperial salvage to.
- Kylo Ren visits Ransolm's prison and is keen to meet the man who showed him the truth of his family.
- Post-canon, Ransolm and redeemed Ben find common ground in the mistakes they made by looking to the Empire for political inspiration.

Star Wars Comics
🖤 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Poe Dameron/Terex🖤 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Terex
I'm obsessed with Terex's see-saw morality - his devotion to the Empire and its vision of galactic order on the one hand, his chaotic and self-serving criminality on the other. His contempt for 'that freak Kylo Ren' is a thing of trashfire hateshippy beauty, and his unflinching self-harm to override those implants hits me right in the id every time. He wants to strip the galaxy of its freedom but he values his own so much he'd rather die without it. I'd love to see him and Kylo get in each other's way while they're both working for the First Order, and clash hard on their values despite being theoretically on the same side.
I'd also love to see Terex and Kylo as prickly, unpopular First Order defectors. Maybe they fall into Poe's reluctant care because no one else is willing to put up with them! Maybe they both defect completely separately and are dismayed to find themselves working together once again! Or maybe they stay First Order loyal but get tangled up with Poe when a mission goes wrong and strands all three of them together somewhere. Naturally, wherever it is, there's only one bed.
🖤 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Tai
So: that 'special bond', right??? I renounce everything I've ever said about Ben the Kissless Virgin, because clearly he and Tai spent many a recess hooking up under the bleachers at Jedi school. Tai is the only person in the galaxy Ben trusts to see him as a person instead of a legacy. And now Tai is gone and there's nothing for it but to renounce his entire past self and become evil. I knew Ben's turn was going to be tragic but I'm still reeling that it turned out so goddamn romantic.
(I also like the precedent it sets of Ben being prone to turning on a dime and changing personalities like clothes for love. He definitely has a little bit of that Rebecca Bunch, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend vibe going on.)
I'd love to know about their temple adventures together and the bond they built along the way! Group assignment where their task is to fly offworld together and find some ancient Jedi treasure? Sparring sessions? Late night conversations and telepathic bby!Jedi intimacy? (Please do make them 18+ if you go the explicit smut route, but I have no objection to T-rated teenage fumbling.) Or, how about their bond after Ben leaves to join the Knights of Ren - is Mimban the first time they've spoken since Ben's flight, or has the Force connected them before and shown Tai flashes of who Ben is becoming? What about the aftermath of Tai's death? Grief, ghosts, spooky darkside resurrection attempts?
🖤 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Voe
I love Voe's quick temper and determination, her competitive streak and her bitter struggle to fit herself into the serene Jedi mould. I love how her own insecurities cause her to uncritically buy into the Ben Solo, Super Special Skywalker Descendant mythos, and how it's her need to prove herself against him that puts them on uneven footing as much as any innate gift on his part. And Ben's so casually dismissive about 'her place in the way of things'. It makes me MAD for her but in a way I enjoy being mad, if that makes sense, lol.
I'd love to see more of her and Ben's one-sided rivalry during their temple days. Maybe, as they get older, their raging hormones and limited social circle make a bad idea look more like a good one. Maybe Voe's drive to match Ben's power morphs into a more general (albeit resentful) admiration - we know Ben's a flaming human trashfire, but she doesn't. Or maybe she does. Maybe she senses the darkness brewing in Ben, but her foresight gets mistaken for jealousy. Maybe sex is the only arena where she feels like she can get the upper hand (sub Ben is good!) or maybe even there she ends up feeling less than (failboaty wannabe-Dom Ben who's clearly driving without a licence is also good!).
I'm very fond of the other students, so any kind of ensemble fic or outside POV on the relationship is very welcome. I love all the potential for petty highschool/college drama made more volatile by the fact that every single student in their tiny school has superpowers. Bring me gossip, top secret diary entries and all permutations of young Jedi taking themselves far too seriously. What does keen-eyed empath Tai make of what's going on between two of his closest friends? How about Hennix, when he looks up from his logic puzzles? For that matter, how full are Luke's hands dealing with his brood of headstrong young adults who he swears were biddable children five minutes ago?
Or later, once everything's gone to hell, let Voe survive. Let her claw her way off Mimban somehow and come back as Kylo's first failed attempt to kill his past. Does she make her way to the Resistance and devote herself to bringing him down? Does the rage and trauma turn her to the dark side? Or does she strike out on her own, grey-dark and driven by a need for revenge? Maybe she becomes a thorn in Kylo's side as he tries to establish himself with the Knights of Ren and the First Order. Or maybe she comes back years later, post-TROS, forcing redeemed and still-alive Ben to confront the first act of true senseless evil he ever committed.

Star Wars: Rebels
💗 Alexsandr Kallus/Hera SyndullaHera is one of my favourite badasses in the GFFA. Kallus is one of my favourite redemption cases. Hera can offer Kallus comfort and reconnection after his defection from the Empire! Kallus can offer Hera comfort and reconnection after Kanan's death! If anything happens between them while Kanan is still alive, please don't have it happen behind Kanan's back or in a way that implies a major problem for Hera and Kanan's budding romance if he found out. Maybe sexual exclusivity isn't a thing in space, or Kanan isn't the jealous type, or you just don't mention him at all and I form my own conclusions. Basically complex relationships and offhand it's-all-fine-here nonmonogamy are :D :D :D, but malicious infidelity makes me :(.
I love the idea of the two of them finding peace in each other once the war is over. Maybe they settle down and raise Jacen together. Maybe there are some teething issues as two veterans who've seen hell and lost loved ones adjust to civilian life. Maybe something happens to drag them back into the mess, and they get to swing into action as a badass new power couple. Or maybe they're not a thing yet, and the sorely missed adrenaline is what tips them over.
💗 C1-10P | Chopper & Hera Syndulla
Droid antics, please! I want to hear all about the nonsense Chopper has put Hera through over the years (or, from his point of view, the nonsense he has put up with in her service). I love how bonded they are even though neither of them would ever admit it. Was it love at first sight after Hera salvaged Chopper, or did it take time for the fondness to develop? How many times have they saved each other's skin/chassis? Post-canon, does Chopper become a grumpy foul-mouthed uncle to Jacen?

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
⛔ Canon-specific DNW: anti-Reylo. I'm not interested in retcons of the kiss, Force bond, Ben's redemption etc - if they're not your thing, please just avoid mentioning them and leave me space to assume the canon romance happened somewhere off-screen.🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rey
I don't think I'm ever going to be over the beautiful mess that is Rey and Kylo's relationship. It's been more than a year since TROS and I'm still blown away that my ship actually went canon. What I love most about them are their sharp edges: the baggage, the damage they've done to each other, the inescapable intensity of the Force bond, the fact that Ben's an utter disaster human and Rey has no tolerance at all for his bullshit (but keeps getting drawn in anyway, because Force bond + irresistible chemistry).
I'm here for every version of them building a life together after canon - Ben can be a ghost, or he can be alive, or he can be a ghost who gets brought back to life or reincarnated in another body or jammed inside Rey's head as an extra passenger or whatever other Force weirdness tickles your fancy. I'm here for every AU in which he stops being a dickhead earlier in canon, but is still kind of a dickhead anyway even if he's a loyal Jedi / willing FO defector / grey-moral smuggler / whatever. I'm here for inappropriate uses of the Force in smut, and flimsy uses of the Force as a plot device to make time travel or fuck-or-die or medically improbable hurt/comfort or your choice of trope possible. Honestly, go wild.
🤎 Finn/Rey
Rey confiding her dark vision in Finn was the moment that took me from ‘they’re cute together’ to ‘actually I ship it like burning’. Their intimacy and mutual trust are gorgeous, but I’m less interested in the happy, healthy side of their relationship than I am in the trauma and struggle underpinning it: Finn knows what it’s like to feel morally unmoored, and Rey knows he’s the one person she can talk to about the strain of choosing good when fate seems determined to pull her towards evil. They’ve both seen so much darkness and they’ve both come dangerously close to giving into it. They’ve both had a hard, messy time figuring out who they actually are. I want to see more of that mess and its aftermath. Some prompts:
- Rey helps Finn get his head around his Force sensitivity. I'd love to see them both equally out of their depth but each one trying their damnedest to be who they think the other needs them to be.
- Post-canon adventures! I'm sure there are still lots of First Order messes to clean up, defecting stormtroopers to reintegrate into society, favours to do for the friends who helped them during the war...
- Another secret Finn never told Rey is that he’s a virgin. He tries to bluster his way through their first intimate encounter, but it quickly becomes obvious he has no idea what he’s doing.
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Finn
I love these two as enemies drawn together by circumstance, as foils to each other's best and worst traits, as lost soul with a shared background in evil doing their best to leave the First Order's influence behind. I love pre-canon stories where stormtrooper!Finn stumbles into his scariest commander's orbit (only to find that maybe he isn't so scary after all?). I love post-canon or divergent stories where Ben defects to the Resistance and Finn helps him find his footing on the new terrain. I love happy endings and bleak disasters and bittersweet could-have-beens. Honestly, if these two are interacting, I'm happy.
Some ideas:
- Ben survives Exegol and helps clean up what’s left of his First Order mess. Finn agrees to work with him for Rey’s sake, but his own feelings about his former commander are a lot more complicated than just ‘yay he’s good now’.
- Ben (alive or as a Force Ghost) takes an unexpected interest in Finn’s Jedi training.
- Pre-TROS or in a First Order wins AU, Finn gets captured and Kylo Ren takes a keen personal interest in his interrogation. (Torture and noncon are good; Finn’s awakening Force powers are good; Kylo’s immense frustration that all his Resistance captives keep manifesting unexpected powers and resisting him is good.)
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Finn/Poe Dameron/Rey
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rey & Finn & Poe Dameron
I will never, ever get tired of Ben surviving TROS and having to integrate into Rey's life with her friends/lovers who he variously tortured and brutalised. I'll take literally any spin on this scenario. Slightly prickly but ultimately healthy and uplifting poly? Toxic disaster foursome held together by nothing but lust and sheer stubbornness? Group adventures taking down what's left of the First Order? Team visits to the max sec prison Ben gets locked in after the war?
I love AUs where Ben defects earlier in canon, or where he never goes dark in the first place and instead shows up as the bad-tempered, difficult son of General Leia. Does he fight for the cause voluntarily, or show up now and then to lend a grudging helping hand? How differently does the war with the First Order go without him there to act as Snoke's enforcer?
Or, if Ben is still Kylo, I also love forced-to-work-together and redemption-by-seduction tropes.
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Finn/Rey
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rey & Finn
All of them have the Force now! Let's see Ben, alive or as a Force ghost, helping train Finn in the use of his powers while introducing him to all the weird bits of life with the Force that the books and old masters don't tell you about. Let's see Finn coming to terms with this new part of his identity - maybe he doesn't even want to be a Jedi! Maybe he's seen enough of where that path leads, and is content to live his life as a normal guy who just has flashes of intuition now and then. Let's see Rey explore two completely different kinds of connection: the togetherness-whether-you-like-it-or-not of her Force bond with Ben, verses her voluntary kindred-spirit intimacy with Finn.
Or, pre-Bendemption, drag Finn into the weird spooky sort-of relationship Rey and Kylo have going.
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rose Tico
I'm really into the ethical clash between these two: Kylo with his love of power and his violent authoritarian leanings, Rose with her sense of justice and compassion for the underdog. I'd love to see the two of them build a relationship of some kind, either with Kylo in full First Order meltdown mode or redeemed Ben Solo cooperating with the Resistance afterwards. Some prompts:
- Kylo thinks Rose's morals are naive. She's too young and idealistic to correctly process the trauma of her upbringing and embrace totalitarianism as the natural solution to all the galaxy's problems.
- Redeemed, conflicted Ben needs someone to lean on as he sorts out what the hell he's doing in a post-Evil Meltdown world. Rose is there - to listen? To argue political philosophy? To smack him back into shape?
- Neither of them can stand each other, but somehow they keep ending up in bed when the beers and bad decisions come out.
- A stray plot device strands the two of them on a hostile planet where they're forced to work together for survival.
🤎 Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Zorii Bliss
Hear me out: Ben survives TROS but doesn't exactly find it easy to slot back into good guy life with Rey and her Resistance pals. Zorii has no room in her heart for First Order Sky Trash but needs new crew after what happened to Kijimi. I'd love to see Ben tapping back into his Legendary Smuggler Han Solo roots, Zorii taking life one step at a time, and two attractive, damaged people with nothing in common finding a way to make it work together anyway.
Alternatively: in a happier AU, Ben never fell to the dark side but instead ran off to join the Crew, who found a use or two for his Force sensitivity. Poe is very welcome to join in here, either as a romantic complicating factor or as the snarky friend/colleague who clashes with both of them.
🤎 Phasma/Rose Tico
I'd love this dark and twisted: Rose falls into First Order captivity? AU where Rose joins the First Order after being radicalised in the other direction by her childhood on Hosnian Prime? Survival story where the two of them get stranded together and are forced to work together?
I also love the idea of Phasma getting out of the Order and having to find a new cause to keep herself afloat. Maybe it ends up being in her interests to defect to the Resistance. Or maybe she survives the war and they run into each other somewhere down the line, once old hostilities have had time to cool and all that's left are half-healed scars.

The Untamed
🤍 Wei Wuxian/Xue Yang🤍 Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian/Xue Yang
🤍 Lan Zhan/Xue Yang
🤍 Song Lan/Xiao Xingchen/Xue Yang
Xue Yang is my favourite remorseless trashfire: his tragic food-driven backstory speaks straight to my lizard brain, and I love his selfish obsession with compensating for the deprivations of his childhood at any cost. I love his cheeky grin, his boyish glee, and his profound spiritual talent that he draws on erratically with no apparent long-term goal in mind. I love how emotionally stunted he is, how he's incapable of empathising with others or even recognising his own more complex feelings. He's an utterly broken person and I want to glory in his brokenness.
Feed him, please. That's all I've got. I just want to see him eat.
I'd love to see any of the requested characters reaching out to Xue Yang with food - to try and bring him around, or just to distract him from causing havoc at a critical moment? Alternatively, they capture him and use food as a control mechanism - by all means, go dark with this.
