Dear Yoda,

If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to reach me through the mods!

If none of my ideas/prompts catch your attention, I'm totally fine with mixing and matching some of my tropes/likes/etc. to come up with a story! I also may not have prompts for every pairing/fandom. If you need some ideas, feel free to reach out to me through the mods.

Gen

What I Love: I'm currently really into gothic romance/gothic horror/horror of any stripe really. I adore difficult/complicated relationships, and questions with no easy answers. I also love ambiguous/happy for now/sad endings. I love things that make me think, and are not necessarily tied up with a neat pretty bow. But that's not to say I don't enjoy a happy ending! This is mostly just meant to reassure you, the writer, that if you don't think a HEA is workable I'm totally fine with that.

My main DNWs are listed below. Exceptions will be noted:

DNWs:
• underage (*ok w/non-graphic/SFW ft. 15+; NSFW for 18+ only)
• domestic violence/abuse
• violence against animals/animal death
• A/B/O, BDSM, and kneeling 'verses (I don't mind if you include these kinks in fic but I'm not interested in universes structured around them, if that makes sense i.e. "kneeling is a common occurrence in Regency England")
• mpreg
• watersports/scat
• mundane AUs
• vampire and werewolf AUs

Stuff I Like:
• gothic/gothic romance/horror/ghost stories!!!
• space gothic (i.e. Event Horizon and the Alien series)
• cosmic horror
• body horror
• monsters!!! sentient monsters!!! monsters that just wanna eat things!!! i love monsters!!!
• bodyswap
• time travel/time loops/time fuckery
• pining
• mind-games/manipulation
• ghosts/hauntings/etc.
• miscommunication (within reason)
• poly/poly-v relationships
• enemies to lovers
• enemies to friends to lovers
• unhealthy/codependent relationships
• relationships with a power imbalance (i.e. mentor/pupil, priest/parishioner, older partner/younger partner, queen/subject, etc.)
• power imbalances/power dynamics/power dynamics inverted (i.e. the pupil turns the tables, the younger partner has/takes the power in the relationship, etc.)
• characters facing/dealing with mortality (of their lives, their livelihoods, careers, etc.)
• amnesiafic
• epistolary/social media pastiche
• future fic
• casefic
• ensemble fic
• complicated relationships
• professional/career-related jealousy
• small town AUs (small town in the suburban gothic sense, not cute, quaint villages and whatnot)

Fic and fan art for all fandoms! I prefer to leave all art details/styles/decisions/etc. up to the artist and you're welcome to utilize the prompts if you want! If you'd like some guidance, more prompts/scenarios/ideas, or have questions, please send a message through the mod and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Ahsoka Tano pairings

Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader
Ahsoka Tano/The Force
Ahsoka Tano/Rex

Prompts/ideas:
Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader
     ◊ AU. Ahsoka doesn't leave the Jedi Order and falls with Anakin.
     ◊ AU. Vader keeps Ahsoka as his "pet." Then Ahsoka decides to escape. Does she succeed? If she fails, does Vader punish her? What if she gets the upper hand with him?
     ◊ Canon AU. Ahsoka rescues a seriously wounded Vader after their Rebels duel and takes him with her to nurse him back to health. How does Vader react when he realizes Ahsoka won't let him go?
     ◊ Post-ROTS AU. After overthrowing Palpatine and defeating Obi-Wan, Vader tracks down Ahsoka and makes her an offer: she will rule by his side as his empress or die. Horrified at what's become of Anakin, Ahsoka agrees, intending to save him. Neither get quite what they'd expected.
     ◊ Ahsoka and/or Vader are both desperately touch-starved but not allowed to touch or are unable to touch.

Ahsoka Tano/The Force
     ◊ The Force has always felt like a living, breathing being to Ahsoka. What happens when she meets it face to face?
     ◊ Or...how about the darker side of that? What if the Force is some sort of monstrous, eldritch-y nightmare entity?
     ◊ Despite her falling out with the Jedi, Ahsoka's always had a fairly harmonious relationship with the Force. What happens when that all changes?
     ◊ Would love something with the Force as an eldritch entity that is in love with Ahsoka. Horror elements (cosmic, folk, body, etc.) are a plus!
     ◊ Something with fairy tale elements, perhaps with the Force taking human form to woo/seduce her? Or maybe a darker take on the selkie/seal skin legend?

Ahsoka Tano/Rex
     ◊ Ahsoka and Rex have S7 Clone Wars reunion sex.
     ◊ Space baddies (aliens? pirates? rogue droids?) make them do it.
     ◊ After discovering Rex has a minute amount of Force ability, Ahsoka offers to give him lessons on how to use/hone his skill.

Rose Tico pairings

Armitage Hux/Rose Tico
Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rose Tico
Kaydel Ko Connix/Rose Tico
Kaydel Ko Connix/Beaumont Kin/Rose Tico
Beaumont Kin/Rose Tico

Prompts/ideas:
Armitage Hux/Rose Tico
     ◊ AU. Hux and Rose get thrown together for some reason. They clash immediately, before easing into an awkward, reluctant partnership against a greater evil.
     ◊ AU. Hux defects to the Resistance. Most Resistance members reluctantly accept his intel but Rose doesn't trust him and is convinced he's a plant. Hux can be a double agent or truly on the side of the Resistance, it's up to the author.
     ◊ AU. Rose goes on a suicide mission against the First Order when she and Hux both crash land on an inhospitable planet and are forced to turn to each other for survival.
     ◊ AU. Rose and Hux are forced into a ritual/political marriage.
     ◊ AU. Rose and Hux mistakenly think they're in a fuck or die situation.
     ◊ Combine some of the freeforms and come up with something yourself!

Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rose Tico
     ◊ Future fic and/or AU. Kylo kidnaps Rose as a political maneuver. Do feelings evolve?
     ◊ A vengeful, deranged Kylo—bent on revenge after being spurned by Rey—captures Rose Tico on her first mission for the Resistance.
     ◊ Rose is sacrificed by the Resistance to Kylo for peace.
     ◊ Kylo defects to the Resistance and is imprisoned for life. Rose grows curious and goes to visit him in his cell. And one thing leads to another...
     ◊ Kylo and Rose are together—maybe Rose is interrogating him for the Resistance—when they get sex pollened.
     ◊ Rose is transporting Kylo to a prison planet after his capture when they crash land on a Hoth-like planet (or Hoth itself). They're forced to huddle for warmth, which leads to trauma-bonding and sex.
     ◊ AU. Rose and Kylo mistakenly think they're in a fuck or die situation.
     ◊ Combine some of the freeforms and come up with something yourself!

Kaydel Ko Connix/Rose Tico
     ◊ After TROS, Rose and Kaydel grow closer, eventually falling in love.
     ◊ Post-TROS. Looking to get over her disappointment when Finn moves on with X (Poe, Rey, etc.), Rose sets her sights on Connix.
     ◊ Missing scene. Connix visits Rose during some down time before/between a battle.

Kaydel Ko Connix/Beaumont Kin/Rose Tico
     ◊ Missing scene or AU. Rose, Connix, and Beaumont grow close then grow into something resembling a relationship.
     ◊ Or, a post-victory releasing-of-pent-up-sexual-tension threesome?

Beaumont Kin/Rose Tico
     ◊ TROS missing scene. Rose assists Beaumont on a mission/task (not picky as to what it is) and the two give in to their attraction.
     ◊ Rose bonds with Beaumont while Finn is away, soon falling for him.
     ◊ Or how about something fun and kinky with these two. I just need more Rose Tico in my life.

Poe Dameron pairings

Poe Dameron/Rey
Poe Dameron/Rose Tico

Prompts/ideas:
Poe Dameron/Rey
     ◊ TROS missing scene or AU. Poe and Rey decide to fuck away the sexual tension, but unfortunately that just leads to even MORE sexual tension. Whoops.
     ◊ Post-TROS. After Finn and Rose get together, Poe and Rey start a FWB arrangement to deal with their unrequited feelings. They don't count on falling for each other though.

Poe Dameron/Rose Tico
     ◊ After the events of TROS, and Finn/Rey beginning a relationship, Poe and Rose are both feeling left out in the cold. Poe impulsively invites Rose to join him on Yavin 4, where the two slowly grow closer and soon enter a relationship. (I would love if they fall into a relationship without realizing. And while I'm happy with background Finn/Rey, I'd prefer no bashing of them/the relationship. Poe and Rose can be bitter but I don't want to dwell on them.)
     ◊ Post-TROS. Poe takes everyone out for space!karaoke and is surprised to find companionship in Rose.
     ◊ TROS AU. Rather than Beaumont patching Poe up, it's Rose who does it.

Captain Phasma pairings

Phasma/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
Armitage Hux/Phasma

Prompts/ideas:
Phasma/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
     ◊ TLJ AU/Phasma Survives AU. After the events of TLJ, Kylo and Phasma are forced into marriage to keep the First Order from totally collapsing.
     ◊ Missing scene or AU. Kylo becomes obsessed with catching Phasma out of her chrome armor. What happens when she catches him watching her?
     ◊ AU. After Kylo loses a hand in battle, Phasma "comforts" him (in her own twisted way).
     ◊ Kylo and Phasma crash land together and have to rely on each other for survival. Kylo's always seen Phasma as inhuman and unapproachable while Phasma looks down on Kylo as nothing more than Snoke's pet. What happens when they're forced to see each other in a different light?
     ◊ AU. Phasma is forced out of her suit and mask for an opulent First Order fundraising gala. (Kylo has the obligatory "oh no she's hot!" moment.)
     ◊ Phasma survived TLJ AU. Phasma stops wearing her mask after the battle with Finn and Kylo soon grows infatuated. But she's not as impressed with him.
     ◊ Some sort of fairy tale AU. Bluebeard, Beauty and the Beast, and The Snow Queen are favorites of mine. Maybe Kylo is Bluebeard and Phasma is his new wife. Or Phasma is the beast while Kylo is in the Belle/Beauty role. Or Phasma is the titular Snow Queen while Kylo is Kai.
     ◊ Persephone/Hades AU, but in space. With Phasma in the Hades role and Kylo as Persephone.
     ◊ Eurydice/Orpheus AU, but set in space. After Phasma dies during the events of TLJ, Kylo recklessly harnesses powers even Snoke warned him against using to resurrect her. Does she come back wrong?!
     ◊ Kylo is always in control, which is why he trusts only Phasma to domme him.
     ◊ TLJ/TROS AU. Phasma survived the end of TLJ and is the spy/traitor in TROS. What happens when Kylo finds out?

Armitage Hux/Phasma
     ◊ TROS AU. Phasma and Hux both betray the First Order. What happens to them when they get caught?
     ◊ TROS AU. After Hux's role as the spy is discovered, Phasma is ordered to execute him. Instead she uses him to get off the ship. Where's she going? And why did she spare him?
     ◊ AU. As punishment from Snoke or Kylo, Hux and Phasma are ordered to fight to the death for the amusement of the First Order elite. How do they survive...if they indeed do survive?
     ◊ AU. Hux watches Phasma take off her armor and helmet every night, through a hole in the wall between their chambers. What happens when she finds out?

Leia Organa & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
Rey & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
Luke Skywalker & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
Barriss Offee & Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano
Barriss Offee & Ahsoka Tano

Prompts/ideas:
Leia Organa & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
     ◊ Post-TROS. Leia finds Ben in the Star Wars version of the afterlife.
     ◊ TROS AU. Ben survives and becomes intent on resurrecting his mother, refusing to take no for an answer. (Something dark, gothic-y and Frankensteinish would be nice.)

Rey & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
     ◊ TROS AU. Rather than a Palpatine, Rey is Han and Leia's missing daughter, presumed dead after a kidnapping attempt. How do events change with Rey as a Solo rather than a Palpatine? How is the relationship with Ben different? (If you write this Solo AU, I'd prefer no kiss/romance.)
     ◊ Pre-sequels AU. AU where Ben and Rey knew each other as children and then had their memories wiped. What happens when memories of their childhood friendship start seeping through during the events of TROS?
     ◊ Post-TROS AU. Ben doesn't die and, instead, is brought back to the resistance. Intent on making amends and facing the consequences for his actions as Kylo Ren, Ben seeks guidance from the only person who will still speak to him—Rey.

Luke Skywalker & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
     ◊ Post-TROS AU. Luke's ghost visits Ben while he awaits his fate after the events of the movie.
     ◊ Post-TROS AU. After the events of the movie, Ben survives and joins the resistance. He soon realizes he's being haunted by a Force ghost he's convinced is his uncle Luke. But everyone else thinks he's losing his mind or is making it up. Is it really Luke?
     ◊ Pre-sequels missing scene. Uncle Luke and little Ben have some uncle/nephew bonding time. It doesn't go as planned.

Barriss Offee & Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano
     ◊ AU. Anakin must rescue Ahsoka and Barriss from some dangerous fate—before it turns out he's the one who needs rescuing and they're the only ones who can help him.
     ◊ Some sort of canon-typical adventure featuring the three, set during the TCW canon, would be lovely.

Barriss Offee & Ahsoka Tano
     ◊ Prequels AU. Barriss and Ahsoka are reunited after the execution of Order 66.
     ◊ Years after the events of Clone Wars and the prequels (maybe set at some point after the OT but before the ST) Ahsoka unexpectedly finds her living in exile. Ahsoka's overjoyed to find that her old friend survived Order 66, but she's also still hurt by her betrayal. Can the two work it out? (For the sake of fanfic, let's say yes.)
     ◊ Post-canon. Ahsoka survived everything. Turns out Barriss did too, and now the two elderly former Jedi are enjoying their retirement together when they're suddenly called back into action for some reason.

Once again, I'd like to stress that my prompts/ideas are only suggestions! Don't feel constrained by them! Mix and match as you please, use some of the freeforms, or come up with something completely on your own without my input. They're just meant as a guide.

You can check out my other dear author letters here and here for a better idea of the kind of tropes I like! If you need any clarification please contact the mods (or reach out to me, if permitted).
