Dear Creator,

I'm excited we've been matched up for this challenge! This is my first time doing [community profile] swrarepairs and I'm glad I didn't miss it this time!

I'm going to copy and paste some stuff from older letters, such as likes and DNWs. (Also, feel free to peruse other letters here.)

What I Love: I love ambiguous/happy for now/sad endings (though I am not opposed to happy endings in the slightest). I love things that make me think, and are not necessarily tied up with a neat pretty bow.

I love characters dealing with mortality (of their careers or their lives). I also dig found family/families of choice, pining, minor miscommunication, undercover as married, mistaken for dating, pretend dating, enemies to lovers, enemies to friends to lovers, friends to lovers, poly/poly-v relationships, popular clichéd tropes inverted (i.e. gay for you, married in Vegas, A/B/O, soulmates/soulmate marks, etc), meet-cutes/meet-uglies, and epistolary/use of social media pastiche (use of fake texts, tweets, facebook posts, emails, and more. This is a good example of what I mean here. So is this, this, this, this, and this).

My main DNWs are listed below (exceptions will be noted):

DNWs:
• noncon
• underage
• violence against women
• violence against animals/animal death
• A/B/O, BDSM, and kneeling 'verses (unless the tropes are inverted)
• mpreg
• watersports/scat
• vampire and werewolf AUs

Stuff I Like:
• pining
• miscommunication
• poly/poly-v
• found family/families of choice
• undercover as married/pretend dating/fake marriage
• enemies to lovers
• enemies to friends to lovers
• popular clichéd tropes inverted
• amnesiafic
• epistolary/social media pastiche
• future fic
• casefic
• ensemble fic
• long-distance relationships
• poly/poly-v relationships
• power imbalances/power dynamics/power dynamics inverted
• professional/career jealousy
• small town AUs (small town in the suburban gothic sense, not cute, quaint villages and whatnot)
• gothic/horror/ghost stories

The following prompts are merely suggestions. I'll be perfectly happy with any combination of Stuff I Like, if none of the ideas grab your attention.

Phasma/Kylo Ren — I'm not a very Kylo-sympathetic person tbh but I'm intrigued by this pairing. I love the image of Phasma as this cold, cruel person and Kylo as her opposite, passionate to an extreme (and to his detriment). I'd love a story exploring how they come together, and the relationship working, despite themselves. Something from Phasma's PO would be AWESOME.

Or sex pollen. Can't go with sex pollen. Or aliens-made-them-do-it!

I also love the concept of Kylo becoming obsessed with seeing Phasma without her helmet.

Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano — See my Anisoka prompts here and my Star Wars prompts here.

Likes:
• Any variation on tragic time travel or time loops with Ahsoka and Anakin/Vader.
• Missionfic with Ahsoka, Anakin, and Obi-Wan, set during the Clone Wars era.
• AU where Anakin never turned. How are things different?
• AU where Vader keeps Ahsoka as his right-hand woman. Is Ahsoka conflicted? Does she buy in to Anakin/Vader's vision?
• Aliens-made-them-do-it with Anakin and Ahsoka. Emphasis on aftercare/recovery.
• AU future fic. Vader captures Ahsoka and puts her on display. Does Ahsoka escape?
• Vader and Ahsoka meet over the years following ROTS. Tragic star-crossed soulmates pls.

Ransolm Casterfo/Leia Organa — Several years after the events of Star Wars Bloodline (after Kylo falls and Han and Leia separate, perhaps?) Leia has a rare bit of downtime and travels to Riosa to see if she can find Casterfo's grave and pay her respects. Leia's very surprised to find out he's still alive. Their reunion doesn't go quite as planned.

Lando Calrissian/Han Solo — Something set between Solo and the OT would be great. Send Lando and Han on a swashbuckling adventure!

Or write me something dark, inspired by one of these prompts.

Poe Dameron/Leia Organa — Mix in hero worship, femdom, and older woman/younger man and I'll be your BFF forever. Maybe Leia's idea of recruiting Poe for the Resistance involved seduction? (Poe looks at Leia as a mother figure in canon but I'm totally fine with it if you ignore that for this pairing.)

Poe Dameron/Jessika Pava —

Prompts:
• Inspired by a TFA kink prompt, but Poe and Jessika get shot down on a mission and crash land on a distant planet. The two turn to each other for survival/comfort and eventually the extreme circumstances/danger/etc. they find themselves in lead to them becoming lovers. They truly believe they're going to die and they don't wanna die alone... but then they're rescued by the resistance a while (days? weeks? months?) later and don't know how to be together in ~the real world~. How do they figure it out? Or how to do they fail to figure it out? Are they able to remain friends, with this experience in their past? Or does it make it impossible? No established Poe/Jessika, please! I'm more than happy with them in other relationships (Jess/Snap? Jess/Karé? Poe/Karé? Poe/Kaydel Ko? Not picky!) to up the angst factor.
• Poe and Jess Pava have been friends for years and have also been sleeping together for almost as long. The other pilots assume they're together together, and neither Poe nor Jess have ever bothered to correct them. There's something familiar and comfortable and safe about their current arrangement that makes both Poe and Jess reluctant to either become an official couple or find romantic partners.

Then the events of the movie happen, Poe falls hard for Finn, and the friends-with-benefits come to a crossroads. Though they've always been clear where they both stood as far as romance and a relationship are concerned, it's hard to give up something that's brought both of them so much comfort and pleasure over the years. Perhaps harder than either Poe or Jess thought.

(Endgame Poe/Jessika not necessary.)

Finn/Jessika Pava —

Prompts:
• Finn develops a crush on Jessika Pava and sets out to court her (awkwardly), possibly with Poe's and/or BB-8's help. (Everyone is surprised because they all assumed he was either involved with Poe or Rey and neither had seen it necessary to disabuse anyone of the notion. Now they're just amused.)
• Finn and Jess are the ones who get stranded/trapped together.
• Jessika is curious about this Finn guy that Poe won't shut up about so she takes it upon herself to introduce herself to him personally only to find out that he exceeds her expectations.

Shara Bey/Kes Dameron/Luke Skywalker — Shara, Kes, and Luke hook up in the shade of the Force Tree. Something sleepy, sweet, and sexy, set after Shattered Empire, would be nice!

Enfys Nest/Han Solo — How about a Solo interlude, or something set after the movie but before ANH/the OT, with Han and Enfys constantly running into each other until they finally just go "fuck it this has to be happening for a reason" and relieve their sexual tension/frustrations with each other.

Luke Skywalker/Sana Starros — Luke and Sana are Finn's parents. Tell me the story of how they first come together and start a family. Or give me something set during or after EpIX with Force Ghost Luke reconnecting with his former wife Sana, and their long lost son Finn.

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

Thank you and happy writing! If you have any questions about my fic preferences or need for clarification you're free to drop me an anonymous ask or contact my friends [tumblr.com profile] blastellanos, [tumblr.com profile] kaqueershi, and/or [tumblr.com profile] fadeastride for an idea of what I like in fiction/fanart!
