weakinteractionHi, thanks for creating for me! I can't wait to see what you come up with ...
My AO3 name is also weakinteraction and I am requesting fic, art or vid for all of the pairings here.
General likes
I am, in general, up for any format, rating, or genre. Tropes-wise, I am particularly fond of canon-divergent AUs, people with issues relating to identity (in the sense of things like secret identities and amnesia) and telepathy. In terms of relationship dynamics, I like all sorts of things but particularly: friends-to-lovers, friends-with-benefits, enemies-to-lovers, lovers-to-enemies(-who-are-maybe-occasionally-still-lovers-against-their-better-judgement), loyalty kink, and you-and-me-against-the-universe sorts of situations. If you're going down the smutty route, I am fine with most kinks except for a few exceptions listed in the DNWs below.
In terms of things I like in Star Wars in particular, I am always here for pilots and their ships, lightsabers, galactic politics/diplomacy and weird alien planets (either in-keeping-with-the-films single biome efforts or ones that try to be more "realistic"). I tend to find that I can take or leave the intricacies of the internal bureaucracy of evil organisations (e.g. the Empire/First Order), but I am so here for the Dark Side in terms of fallen Jedi abusing the trust of their former friends and stuff like that so "X goes Dark Side" AUs (or in terms of KotOR, taking the Dark Side ending) are very welcome. If you're going down the smutty route, any and all types of Force Sex are good with me.
(If you go browsing through my other letters, you might see I often mention time travel in this section; weirdly, I'm not really that keen on it for Star Wars.)
General likes for art
I do like use of light and shade in a picture, and interesting Easter-egg-y type stuff going on in the background (if there is one). I am also up for reinterpretations into different art styles (e.g. chibi versions of the characters, or what they'd look like if they were in a retro computer game, that sort of thing).
General art prompts: An action scene that's a snapshot from an adventure, the characters in the middle of kicking ass. (Two characters back to back with their lightsabers/blasters out, for instance.) Goofy hijinks when they're off-duty. Little moments of intimacy: stolen kisses, hurt/comfort type stuff (but please not too much on the hurt front), that sort of thing. And, er, I have no problem at all with NSFW art.
General likes for fic
Overall, I am honestly very easy to please; I genuinely like pretty much all types of fic, from humorous vignettes, to angsty introspection, to twisty plotty adventure stories, and all points in between. I do like to make a positive point of the fact that fic-wise I'm always up for non-standard formats, anything from epistolatory or verse through to stories presented through documentary evidence, 1st/2nd person, present/future tense, IF, etc. etc. Again, if it works for what you want to do, I'll lap it up. (This is not to say that I don't enjoy reading third person, past tense, because I definitely do! I just don't want you to be put off doing other things if your inspiration takes you in that direction.)
General fic prompts: Being guided by the Force in a way that isn't quite what they expected. Getting to know each other better while on a mission/escaping from prison/etc. Down time in an exotic environment. Hurt/comfort. Helping each other to be strong.
General likes for vids
When it comes to vids I like interesting/surprising/amusing juxtapositions (either between one scene and the next or between what's happening and the music), and having fun with pacing (e.g. the cuts getting faster and faster towards the end before slowing down again). I am very broad-minded in my musical taste; I would much rather go with the music you think fits than have a vid shoehorned in to my favourite song if you're not feeling it. And to be honest, my "favourite song" is something which changes on about an hourly basis. That said, if you do want to know, the two places my music collection/Youtube playlist gravitates towards most strongly are British indie circa 1995-1997 (I hesitate to use the term "Britpop" but, yeah, basically Britpop) and female singer-songwriters from the last decade or so.
General vid prompts: Action (a pairing against the universe? lovers-to-enemies types doing battle?). Longing looks. Sweeping landscapes. Star Wars-y wipe transitions.
Do Not Wants
I'm going to be completely honest: all of these specific prompts are straight from my femslashex letter ...
Aphra section
Aphra rapidly became my new Star Wars fave when I belatedly started reading the Darth Vader comics. I love how spiky she is, her hidden depths, her ability to bullshit her way through pretty much any situation, and her reluctant moments of something approaching morality.
Aphra/Tolvan
The canon enemies-to-lovers trajectory of this ship has been extremely pleasing to me, so anything that builds on that would be fantastic. My fave things about Tolvan are how ambiguous she seems to feel about almost everything (the Empire, Aphra, her cybernetics) and the fact that she's quietly a tactical genius.
Some prompts: Reluctant-to-not-so-reluctant team-up. One or other of them getting the upper hand (Tolvan blackmailing and/or capturing Aphra seems like a fairly obvious option, but I think Aphra's work with Vader must have given her some sort of insight into how to mess around with the Imperial hierarchy). Ending up on the run together. How they both adjust after RotJ. Some sort of exploration of Tolvan's backstory would be great too (especially why she has all those cybernetics, and I also love that she's a tactical genius; any sort of situation where she's using those skills would be fun).
Aphra/Sana
Give me them at each other's throats (in any sense). Give me them forced to work together and hating every minute of it. Give me backstory: their good times that were never really that good (or were they?). Give me bitterness and resentment and angst and betrayal and unhealthiness and obsession and all that good stuff.
Prompts: Aphra trying to puzzle out why Sana seems to have thrown her lot in with the Rebels. Sana realising that her feelings are more complicated than she wants to admit. Aphra trying to keep Sana secret from Vader (and maybe failing). Wagers and forfeits. Or if you're going into their backstory, any sort of smuggling/archaeological hijinks. (Aphra going playing in Legends worldbuilding is A-OK with me.) Were they always so hardbitten and cynical?
Aphra/Sana/Tolvan
The emotional muddles they would get themselves into while all being badasses would be very satisfying, I think ...
Anything taking inspiration from the prompts for the two ships above would obviously be great, but more specifically for the OT3: Aphra needs both of their help, and cajoles them into working together, but not without difficulty. Some sort of situation where the local Rebellion and Empire forces have to uneasily work together for a limited time. Post-RotJ about how ex-Imperials reintegrate into the New Republic. Tolvan already knows Sana from tracking down smugglers in the past.
Rey section
I think I should set out my stall slightly: I came out of my very first viewing of TFA absolutely convinced Rey was gay (and shipping her with Jess as one of the only other female characters in the Resistance -- I'm too much of a Han/Leia shipper for Leia/Rey to be much of an option for me, and I do really, really like X-Wing pilot minor characters anyway).
On the other hand, I did think the canon Force Bond interactions with Kylo Ren in TLJ were very interesting, I just don't see Rey as interested from a romantic point of view. But please don't shy away from including that sort of thing if it's relevant. (This is by way of being a fandom-specific not-DNW, if that makes any sense at all.)
Devi/Rey
I really like the evolution of their relationship over Rey's section of Before the Awakening. The sense of the idea that no one on Jakku can trust each other, but they're starting to against their better judgement is really well done.
Prompts: Long cold desert nights during the fixing up of the ship. Taking off their layers of protection against the sand. Working together, their fingers brush together and then ... Running into each other again years later, when Rey's a Jedi and Devi's made something of herself (maybe she ends up going down a Lando-style route and finds herself in charge of somewhere?).
Phasma/Rey
Obviously this would pretty much have to be AU now (though something which posits Phasma somehow surviving TLJ would be cool). I am interested in a wide variety of scenarios here, but the one thing I wouldn't want is a "bad ending" for the Rey of the fic (which basically means loyal First Order Phasma capturing Resistance Rey, unless that leads to Rey somehow turning Phasma).
Prompts: Phasma has been a Resistance plant all along; Rey has to rescue her (possibly psychologically as well, in terms of how long she's been undercover). AU in which Rey is a member of the First Order (this could be a straightforward one-point-of-divergence thing, or some sort of role swap where Rey and Finn, or Rey and Kylo, or heck, even Rey and Hux, swap places). Forced to work together. Rey captures Phasma, or Phasma captures Rey, and it leads to Rey redeeming Phasma.
Rey/Original Female Character
I am up for all sorts of possibilities here (including non-humans).
Prompts (aka ideas for who the ofc could be): a dignitary from a neutral planet that the Resistance needs something from, a newly awakened Jedi she's training (possibly feeling underqualified to do so?), a Resistance trooper/medic/technician/etc. But honestly, these are just some suggestions, go wild. (Original Terribly Misunderstood Sentient Female Tentacle Monster?)
Rey/Rose
DNW for this particular ship: Rey/Finn/Rose love triangle. In particular, although I haven't read the novelisation, it sounds like it does a number on Rose, turning her into a seething pit of jealousy; please steer clear of that characterisation.
Prompts: Bonding over mechanic-y stuff (... this may be a thing with my Rey ships! but there's bound to be stuff going wrong on the Falcon with that many people on board). Rey helps Rose deal with losing Paige (perhaps an interesting contrast with Rey's lack of a family, here?). Rose is in trouble and needs rescuing. Rose ends up being one of the few people who Rey can trust to be straight with her while everyone else is looking up to her as a Jedi.
KotOR section
Yuthura Ban/Female Revan
I love Yuthura, and wish there was a lot more of her in the game. Feel free to explore her backstory if the fancy takes you. I am very much up for any and all possible takes on the dynamics of this ship: amnesiac Revan as eager student of the Dark Side, post-Leviathan Revan as reborn Sith Lord who Yuthura is the first to swear allegiance to, Revan (with memories or without) redeeming Yuthura (even better if Yuthura is simultaneously trying to corrupt Revan), etc.
Prompts: Redemption. Fall. Treachery and double crossing. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Revan trying to redeem Yuthura while Yuthura tries to corrupt Revan. Amnesiac Revan going to the Sith Academy on Korriban straight after the Jedi Academy on Dantooine to decide for herself who's got the right idea. Revan going to Korriban after the Leviathan (and no one believing her; I find that hilarious even if it was obviously to avoid them having to write huge amounts of new material).
Belaya/Juhani
Very strongly hinted at in canon though whether anything came of it while they were padawans is up to you, given the Jedi's restrictions on love.
Prompts: Long nights under the stars. Reunion after the end of the game (let's assume Belaya survived the bombardment of Dantooine somehow -- maybe she'd been sent on some other mission?). Or (since Belaya turns Dark Side and pops up on Korriban if you kill Juhani), an AU where they both fall together and become unstoppable. (Would Level-9-or-so Revan be able to take them both on in the grove? Seems unlikely as I regularly have to reload during that fight when it's just Juhani.)
My AO3 name is also weakinteraction and I am requesting fic, art or vid for all of the pairings here.

Do Not Wants
- character or ship bashing
- non-canon-divergent AUs (canon-divergent ones, on the other hand, are a big yes as mentioned above)
- incest
- people under 16 having sex
- watersports/scat/emetophilia/bloodplay/vore
- violent non-con (coercion/mind control/etc. are fine, especially of the science fictional variety)
