[personal profile] sincereously
Dear Yoda,

Thank you so much for creating for me! I'm really excited to see what everyone comes up with for this exchange, and I hope you have a wonderful time with it.

I'm familiar with various aspects of both the Disney canon universe and the Legends universe, supplemented by spending way too much of my free time on Wookiepedia. Feel free to draw on whatever version of canon you want and to mix them together if it makes sense for what you're creating! Don't worry about what I might or might not have seen/read; I like going on wiki rabbit holes and I don't care about spoilers.

Prompts are in this letter if you want them, but I'll be happy with anything that respects my DNWS.

If you have any questions about this letter, please contact me through the mods. I'm also sincereously on AO3.

General fic likes:
Worldbuilding (especially religious and cultural worldbuilding)
Weird Force things, and exploring what it's like to be Force-sensitive and use the Force more generally
Canon divergence
Solving mysteries
Friendly bickering
Slap-slap-kiss dynamics
Moments of quiet intimacy during breaks in the action (especially good for missing scenes in between what we see in canon)
Taking care of injured people
Close friends/lovers charging into danger to save each other
Forced proximity (undercover together, trapped together, accidental/arranged marriage, fake dating, etc.)
Elaborate plans that may or may not work out
Improvising new plans as you go along
Repressed characters learning to let go
Struggling against temptation/the Dark Side

General art likes
I love a wide range of art styles, so I don't have much of a preference there. For art-specific prompts:
Characters using weapons - lightsaber, blaster, vibroblade, lightwhip, whatever you want!
Dark Side versions of canonically "light" characters, particularly takes on Empress Padmé and/or Sith Empress Leia, possibly with their most loyal companions by their side.

General DNWs:
Character bashing
Canon-divergent death of any requested characters (canonical deaths are fine)
Non-canonical child death
Setting change AUs (ex. coffeeshop, high school, modern AU, etc.)
Time travel AUs
One or both/all sides of a requested pairing cheating on the other
Formalized dom/sub relationships
Ageplay
Omegaverse
Mpreg
Watersports
Scat
Body horror
Rape/noncon (dubcon - sex pollen with both/all characters dosed, sex in arranged marriages, fuck-or-die, etc. - are fine)
Underage under 15 and unrequested non-canonical ships with 15+ year age gaps (mentions of canon examples of both are acceptable, but please don't make them the focus of the fic)
Cross-gen incest
Animal abuse
Fic devoted primarily to examining real-world issues/-isms
Hopeless endings (endings can be dark, but not without any shred of hope)
Fic or art set after a child of Han and Leia (either Ben or Jacen) canonically falls to the Dark Side
For both fic and art, please keep the level of violence at about what it is in canon.

PROMPTS

Again, these are here if you want them, but please feel free to pursue other ideas if the idea won't let you go. I'm also perfectly happy with combining ships and prompts where it makes sense to do so.

Leia Organa/Han Solo, Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker, Luke Skywalker & Han Solo, Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker & Han Solo, Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo, Lando Calrissian/Leia Organa/Han Solo, Lando Calrissian & Han Solo, Chewbacca & Han Solo, Lando Calrissian & Chewbacca, Chewbacca & Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker & Han Solo

The OT crew, in various configurations! I love how much they're all willing to risk to help/save the others (even when there seems to be a betrayal, they always come back and do whatever they can to make things right), and it makes for sound camaraderie that makes their adventures so fun to watch.

With this group, I don't necessarily have many request-specific ideas as much as general scenarios or prompts that could apply to most of them. Any prompts that primarily focus on a particular requested pairing or group will be noted, but please don't assume that I want those requests more than any of the others - I love them all! As a note, if you're writing Leia/Luke/Han or Leia/Lando/Han I'm happy with it both as a full triad or as a Han-centric V, depending on your preferences. I also like Han/Lando (though I didn't request it here) and am totally fine with bringing it up as a past relationship in any fic involving them.

-An adventure story about going on the hunt for a MacGuffin, including mysterious clues and booby traps and narrow escapes from The Bad Guys. Making blatant Indiana Jones references using Han is encouraged.
-Undercover! Han and Leia (+ Lando or Luke) pretending to be married, Luke having to resort to the Force at the worst possible time, Chewie actually bringing one or more of the others in as "prisoners" rather than him having to pretend to be the captured one for once...
-Trying to abide by Weird Alien Customs on a mission mean that one or more of them are technically married. This can either be genuinely a way for them to realize romantic feelings for each other or just a source of humor and misunderstandings until they happily get a divorce. (I can also totally see Han & Lando or Han & Chewie getting married for tax purposes or something like that, and then having to deal with the resulting mess).
-I've always been interested in canon divergences, particularly twin-switch and one-or-both-twins-raised-by-Vader AUs. How do their relationships play out in these universes?
-Teaching each other about the traditions or cultural elements of their homeworlds or cultures, particularly Leia teaching the others about Alderaan or Chewie talking to them about Kashyyyk.
-Hurt/comfort scenes with one or more of them patching each other up after a battle.
-(Leia/Han or Luke & Han) The first time Han let either of them fly the Falcon. Was it a desperate necessity or a gift he made to them while he backseat piloted the whole time?
-(Leia & Luke) Anything that goes into their Force connection - feeling it before they realize what it is (maybe showing up in each other's dreams, or as each other's "imaginary friends" as small children) or using it to better learn how to use the Force and understand each other after they know. Also, Leia sharing her memories of Padmé with Luke.
-(Luke & Han) We saw Luke's last conversation with Leia before he left Endor to confront Vader and the Emperor, fully believing he'd never come back. What was the last conversation he had with Han like?
-(Leia & Luke & Han or Leia/Luke/Han) I always see Han as being just a little weirded out by the whole Force thing, no matter how long he knows Luke and Leia. How does he handle both of their growing powers, and how does it change their relationships?
-(Leia/Han or Lando/Leia/Han) In ROTJ, they have a lot of time to come to an understanding about their relationship on the way from Tatooine back to the fleet - or just celebrate getting Han back.
-(Lando & Chewie) Anything about their time together between ESB and ROTJ, having to rely on each other to find Han while repairing broken trust and processing how they've both changed since the last time they were working together.

Owen Lars/Beru Whitesun
-In a galaxy where so many people are trying to be somewhere else and somewhere better, Owen and Beru are unusual in their contentment with their lot in life. I like to see slice-of-life type episodes of them supporting each other and just helping each other get by in their day-to-day domestic existence.
-Anything about their early relationship! How did they get together, and what was their early married life like living with Cliegg and Shmi on the farm?

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Owen Lars/Beru Whitesun
-This just makes so much sense to me, honestly. Maybe Obi-Wan feels that he needs to stay closer to Luke to protect him and that proximity turns into affection into love, or one or more of them save each other from some kind of danger and realize what they all mean to each other. I'm here for pretty much anything for this!

Owen Lars & Luke Skywalker & Beru Whitesun, Owen Lars & Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker & Beru Whitesun
-There's definitely an interesting story in suddenly being entrusted with the son of the stepbrother you met, like, once, and having to try to protect him, especially if/when he starts showing Force powers at a time when that's extremely dangerous. Slice-of-life episodes could be great here, where they're both shaping Luke into what he becomes in the main series.
-I'd also love to see them parenting BOTH of the twins, because if Luke was enough of a headache as a teenager imagine what he and Leia would be like together...in addition, my headcanon has always been that Luke and Leia could sense each other from a young age even if they didn't know that's what they were doing, and even if Owen and Beru don't know what's really going on it'd be interesting to see their reaction to Luke talking about his imaginary friend who's a princess from a distant planet. It'd also be great to see an AU where they live and get to meet Leia - her life as a princess is such a strong disconnect from theirs as moisture farmers, but they all have a core of strength that they'd all appreciate in each other.

Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker & Shmi Skywalker
-An AU where things don't go wrong (or at least don't go as wrong as they did in canon) and the twins actually get to meet Shmi! Anakin can Fall or not, but I'd love to see Shmi with her grandchildren, especially if she's Force-sensitive and can help them both come to terms with that aspect of themselves.
-Jedi!Shmi and her padawan grandchildren!

Bail Organa/Breha Organa
-What was their courtship and early marriage like? Were they a love match or did they get together for political reasons and have love grow later?
-It must have been incredibly stressful to balance their duty to Alderaan with their dedication to resisting the Empire. I like the idea of them drawing strength from each other and talking through political moves together.
-Let them survive the destruction of Alderaan! I'd love to see how their presence could impact later developments in the OT and beyond.

Padmé Amidala/Bail Organa/Breha Organa
-I'd love to see how all three of them first come to know each other - Bail and Padmé's time serving together in the Senate, for example, and how one or both of them fell for Breha.
-I'm always here for Padmé-lives AUs, especially where she gets to raise the twins (possibly alongside Bail and Breha). Padmé would also be instrumental in working with Bail and Breha to create the Rebel Alliance, and I'd love to see more of all of their work as Rebels, including in AUs where all three live past the destruction of Alderaan.

Bail Organa & Breha Organa & Leia Organa, Bail Organa & Breha Organa & Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker
-Raising a Force-sensitive daughter that you're trying to keep hidden when you have a very public royal life couldn't have been easy. Any scenes with them raising young Leia and teaching her how to control and channel her rebelliousness (and possibly her Force powers) would be great.
-As mentioned earlier in this letter, I headcanon that Leia and Luke were somewhat aware of each other even before they met. Unlike the situation with Owen and Beru, however, Bail and Breha would have an idea of just what their daughter was talking about when she mentions having an "imaginary friend" from a desert planet. How would they handle the situation or explain it to her?
-Related to the Bail-and-Breha-live AU mentioned in the earlier prompts, it'd be awesome to see their impact on later OT developments had they lived, and especially getting to know Leia's brother and/or her choice of life partners.

Leia Organa & Sabé
-This is just a relationship with a lot of interesting potential. Does Sabé learn who Leia's birth mother is early on and decide to protect Padmé's young daughter in her mother's honor?
-It would also be great to see an older Leia and Sabé working together in the Rebellion circa the OT era, or Leia going to Sabé after finding out her birth mother's identity and seeking out information from her.

Leia Organa & Darth Vader, Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker & Darth Vader
-Vader realizes Leia's potential in the Force is while she's on the first Death Star, and decides he'd rather try to take her on as an apprentice. He may also capture Luke later when he tries to rescue her and then try to turn them both...
-Leia or both of the twins were raised by Vader from a young age to be Sith. There are so many ways you could take this AU and I'm down for just about all of them, tbh.
-Encounters between a pre-ANH Senator Leia and Vader - just all the simmering hatred and mutual disdain and dramatic irony.

Padmé Amidala & Leia Organa, Padmé Amidala & Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker
-Let Padmé live and raise at least one of her kids! Maybe she's on the run, or maybe she manages to lie low on Tatooine. How does she handle the rise of the Empire, the start of the Rebellion, and her child/ren's power in the Force?
-I also like AUs where Padmé gets to continue to take a more active political role after the prequel time period, either because the Republic didn't fall at all or because Anakin didn't fall and therefore there's no need to escape from Vader. Maybe she gets to raise her kids on Naboo and train them to take places in the Senate someday? Appearances from the rest of the Naberrie family would be great here too!
-A wild AU: Empress Padmé and her heir(s), especially Padmé training her daughter to someday take the Imperial throne.

Han Solo & Han Solo's Father & Han Solo's Mother
-Luke and Leia's family relationships, biological and adopted, are pretty central to the canon, but there's very little information about Han's family in either Legends or Disney canon. What were they like? What did Han learn or understand about the world through them as a child?
-Alternatively, Han's parents aren't quite as dead as he thought they were and reappear during the OT period.

Jocasta Nu, Jocasta Nu & Count Dooku, Jocasta Nu/Count Dooku

Jedi librarian and archivist! Jocasta's so cool, and I love her dedication to her profession and to the Jedi Order.

-What would her typical work day be like? Cataloguing, reference requests, teaching padawans how to use the library services? Any Jedi library science is great.
-One of the deleted scenes had Jocasta call Dooku "one of the most brilliant Jedi" and indicated a lot of personal respect. It also seems pretty likely that they were both training to be Jedi at around the same time. It'd be great to see anything for their relationship, platonically or romantically - going on a mission together, working on a research project together, sparring, etc.
-Jocasta escapes in the aftermath of Order 66 and continues her mission to safeguard the Order's knowledge and protect the list of Force-sensitive children.
