weakinteractionHi! Thanks for creating for me.
I'm just going to come out with it: this is almost entirely re-used prompts from other exchanges, both Star-Wars-specific ones and more general ones where I just happen to use up a vast proportion of my slots on Star Wars. I have received some awesome gifts for some of these in the past, but I am greedy and always want more.
I'm requesting fanfic and fanart for all these; it's almost entirely shippy (except for the Yuthura and HK-47 solo prompts; and my AO3 name is weakinteraction.
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 the KotOR games, 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 epistolary 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.
Do Not Wants
Aphra femslash
Aphra rapidly became my new Star Wars fave when I finally caught up with 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.
Chelli Lona Aphra/Magna Tolvan
I love their enemies-to-lovers dynamic in canon at the moment.
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).
Chelli Lona Aphra/Sana Starros
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 while she's stll with him (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? Alternatively, what happens to them in the future after the Empire is defeated?
Rey femslash
I have been headcanoning Rey as gay since TFA, though with very limited opportunity to really do anything about it on Jakku (the one possible exception being Devi; see below).
Jessika Pava/Rey
I would love anything for these two from sweet and fluffy to out-and-out PWP. Dynamics-wise, I like the idea of both of them being a bit surprised at being in this relationship, but liking it (Rey having never had any opportunity to even really consider romance while on Jakku, Jess having hero-worshipped Jedi as per "Weapon of a Jedi" and now finding that they are actually flesh-and-blood people after all, that sort of thing). Feel free to include other characters, especially from Black Squadron. I am very happy to buy into the idea that Black Squadron were all elsewhere during TLJ.
Prompts: bonding over fixing up spaceships, flight training/competing with each other (Jess teaches Rey to fly an X-Wing? They race the Falcon against Jess's X-Wing? etc.), mission fic (undercover?), taking time out if the latest Resistance base is on some nice planet without too many enormous predators around.
Rey/Devi
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(s)
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.
Rey/Rose
DNW for this particular ship: Rey/Finn/Rose love triangle. (Background Finn-involved poly is fine, on the other hand, if you want to go in that direction.) 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.
Poe/Terex get a whole category to themselves
Poe/Terex
I love the obsessional nature of their mutual antagonism, and if you want to play around with that sort of thing earlier in the timeline go for it, but since what happened to Terex in #14, I have actually found myself feeling awful for him and I would definitely also be interested in Poe rescuing him from fate-worse-than-death and the experience persuading Terex to switch sides, while still being a complete untrustworthy snake.
Prompts: Forced to work together by circumstance. One captures the other and doesn't really know what to do with the fact that they've "won". Terex makes a calculated bid to get in with the Resistance but no one trusts him.
KotOR I
Character: Yuthura Ban
Ah, my favouriteprospect for the year non-party NPC in the whole game. Anything at all about her would be great, to be honest, but there are some more specific prompts below.
Prompts: Backstory on Sleheyron or how she rose through the ranks of the Sith. What happened next (in any version of the ending that doesn't leave her dead). Yuthura as bad teacher who plays favourites and is permanently exasperated with almost all of her students.
Character: HK-47
I just love how deadpan he is about everything, basically.
Prompts: Life with Revan back in Revan's Dark Lord days (no preference on Revan's gender when it comes to something HK-centric). Dealing with annoying organics (Ebon Hawk crewmembers or otherwise). Dealing with annoying other droids (T3 or anyone else). Dealing with recalitrant computers. The never-ending quest for upgrades. HK going off on his own side-quests when no one is looking.
Dustil Onasi/Mission Vao
I didn't ship it until I saw it in a tag set last year, and now I'm the one nominating it ... Basically, I like that they both got caught up in galactic events when they were really far too young, which basically makes them absolutely archetypal Star Wars characters.
Prompts: Angsty responses to the events of canon (they're both from planets that were bombarded into dust by Malak, after all). Dustil who stayed Sith corrupting Mission on purpose to twist the knife further. Wacky comedy about how weird it is that Carth is now Mission's prospective father-in-law (add Revan -- either male or female -- as step-parent-in-law as well if you want).
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.
Juhani/Female Revan
There's a mirroring thing going on here, given that Revan initially meets Juhani when the Council are trying to make a point to her about the dangers of the Dark Side. However, there's also history given the revelation that it was Revan, on the way through Taris, who inspired Juhani to become a Jedi in the first place.
Prompts: helping each other stay on the Light Side. Post-canon missions. Dark Side Revan turning Juhani at the Temple instead of killing her and they rule the galaxy together as master and apprentice. Art-wise, them fighting with lightsabers (either each other, or back-to-back or a similar pose against various enemies) would be great.
Bonus incredibly hyper-specific fic prompt: the first time I got the little extra bit of shippy dialogue at the very end of the game came in a playthrough where I messed up several important conversations that ended in me failing to redeem other characters and having to kill them instead (Dustil, and worst of all when I got to the Star Forge, Bastila), which left it feeling like a rather bittersweet victory at best. So I'd be into a take on these two that looked at the cost of victory/the fragility of redemption/etc.
Female Revan/Bastila Shan
What I find interesting about these two is their bond through Bastila having saved Revan's life, and how it pulls them together (against Bastila's better judgement given that she knows who Revan is all along, but also her devotion to Jedi beliefs about love being bad). And of course the mirroring of their arcs, with Bastila eventually going to the Dark Side as Revan did (but then coming back, if you play Light Side and choose the right dialogue options).
Prompts: Force bonds. Victory celebrations. "I would stand by your side gladly, as your lover and apprentice!"
Juhani/Female Revan/Bastila Shan
To be honest, this is basically my default party for most of the game. (I generally build Revan as a high-INT Scout/Consular for high skills and Force powers to make it work, but really do feel free to ignore that. I'm just geeking out about character builds now.)
Prompts: Working through the rough edges of working together during the period covered by canon. LS post-canon based on the idea that they've all been through different redemption arcs: helping each other stay on the Light Side, that sort of thing. DS post-canon: Dark Lord Revan and her concubines.
Yuthura Ban/Female Revan
I am very much up for any and all possible takes on the dynamics of this ship, depending on Revan's alignment, whether Revan knows who she is yet, whether Yuthura gets redeemed, how deep into double-crossing Uthar things get ...
Prompts: 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 via love (even better if Yuthura is simultaneously trying to corrupt Revan via seduction).
KotOR II
No preference on Exile gender for the first two ships.
Exile/Atris
I don't necessarily see this as actually leading to anything happening (though if you can make that work, I will eat it up with a spoon) but something exploring the complicated feelings they have towards each other would be fascinating. The game gives quite a bit of information about how she felt about Exile (particularly to those willing to work through Handmaiden's enormous dialogue trees) but also leaves a lot of questions about exactly what was going on there, especially from Exile's side; one of my favourite things about the game is the way it lets you react to things about your past and set your characterisation as you go, so feel free to take any interpretation that works for you.
Prompts: That's my lightsaber! Learning about each other through combat. The Sith holocrons see that Exile has gone DS and try to manipulate them into being master and apprentice. AU: Atris is so troubled by what happened in the Council chamber that she follows Exile out of civilised space.
Exile/Sion
I have used the "you're in my mind too" line on Sion in the past without the "[Lie]" in front of it more than once (the fact that he's a presence all the way through the game -- even on the menu screen -- makes it plausible to me). I definitely see this ship very much in terms of their shared experiences of being involved with Kreia. One of my favourite things about the game is the way it lets you react to things about your past and set your characterisation as you go, so feel free to take any interpretation that works for you. I find it hard to picture this ship ever being consummated or anything, it's more about the twisted obsession and so on, but go for it if you can make it work.
Prompts: Telepathy/Force bonds. Pain and suffering. Learning about each other through combat. AU: Exile doesn't run on Korriban when Kreia tells her to. The game makes a big deal of the contrast between Nihilus (Force vampire) and Exile (hole in the Force) but there's surely an equivalent thing with Sion and his only being kept alive by the Force.
Brianna | Handmaiden/Visas Marr
This ship strikes me as fascinating; although the game half-heartedly posits them as romantic rivals for Male Exile's attention, they actually have a lot in common in terms of having been trained to a very high level by people who didn't really have their best interests at heart (Atris/Nihilus). Seeing how they come together and deal with that would be awesome; I'd be very interested in something post-canon where they're in at the ground floor of rebuilding the Jedi Order (and possibly searching for Exile) even though their understanding of what it is to be a Jedi has been entirely shaped by people with ... non-standard views.
Prompts: Training together, either along the lines of what they offer Exile in canon (Echani combat/Force Sight) or something different. One of them helping the other come to terms with her past. Post-canon adventures (up to you whether you want to go with the idea that Exile went off to the Unknown Regions or not). Hoods and their significance.
Atris/Kreia
One of my favourite things about KotOR II is that it has two complex female antagonists, but it is a shame that they don't really meet for very long. (Though, as with Handmaiden above, if you sit through a lot of dialogue trees you do get quite a bit about Atris from Kreia's POV.)
Prompts: "Such a quiet thing." Back in her Jedi days, Kreia wheedling her way into getting something from the archives Atris doesn't usually allow access to. An argument (over some obscure piece of Jedi lore, the correct interpretation of the Jedi code, whatever). AU where Kreia trains Atris in Being Darth Traya (either diverging from their encounter on Telos during the ending, or earlier on and she's been manipulating her for much longer).
I'm just going to come out with it: this is almost entirely re-used prompts from other exchanges, both Star-Wars-specific ones and more general ones where I just happen to use up a vast proportion of my slots on Star Wars. I have received some awesome gifts for some of these in the past, but I am greedy and always want more.
I'm requesting fanfic and fanart for all these; it's almost entirely shippy (except for the Yuthura and HK-47 solo prompts; and my AO3 name is weakinteraction.

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)
- pregnancy/kidfic
- a major character death happening in the fic (references to -- even quite detailed retellings of -- the deaths of characters who've died in canon are fine)
- watersports/scat/emetophilia/bloodplay/breathplay/vore
- violent non-con (coercion/mind control/etc. are fine)
- incest
- underage (which I define as people under 16 having sex)
Aphra femslash
Aphra rapidly became my new Star Wars fave when I finally caught up with 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 trying to keep Sana secret from Vader while she's stll with him (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? Alternatively, what happens to them in the future after the Empire is defeated?

KotOR I
Character: Yuthura Ban
Ah, my favourite
Prompts: Backstory on Sleheyron or how she rose through the ranks of the Sith. What happened next (in any version of the ending that doesn't leave her dead). Yuthura as bad teacher who plays favourites and is permanently exasperated with almost all of her students.
Character: HK-47
I just love how deadpan he is about everything, basically.
Prompts: Life with Revan back in Revan's Dark Lord days (no preference on Revan's gender when it comes to something HK-centric). Dealing with annoying organics (Ebon Hawk crewmembers or otherwise). Dealing with annoying other droids (T3 or anyone else). Dealing with recalitrant computers. The never-ending quest for upgrades. HK going off on his own side-quests when no one is looking.

And of course the mirroring of their arcs, with Bastila eventually going to the Dark Side as Revan did (but then coming back, if you play Light Side and choose the right dialogue options).
Prompts: Force bonds. Victory celebrations. "I would stand by your side gladly, as your lover and apprentice!"
Juhani/Female Revan/Bastila Shan
To be honest, this is basically my default party for most of the game. (I generally build Revan as a high-INT Scout/Consular for high skills and Force powers to make it work, but really do feel free to ignore that. I'm just geeking out about character builds now.)
Prompts: Working through the rough edges of working together during the period covered by canon. LS post-canon based on the idea that they've all been through different redemption arcs: helping each other stay on the Light Side, that sort of thing. DS post-canon: Dark Lord Revan and her concubines.
Yuthura Ban/Female Revan
I am very much up for any and all possible takes on the dynamics of this ship, depending on Revan's alignment, whether Revan knows who she is yet, whether Yuthura gets redeemed, how deep into double-crossing Uthar things get ...
Prompts: 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 via love (even better if Yuthura is simultaneously trying to corrupt Revan via seduction).
KotOR II
No preference on Exile gender for the first two ships.
Exile/Atris
I don't necessarily see this as actually leading to anything happening (though if you can make that work, I will eat it up with a spoon) but something exploring the complicated feelings they have towards each other would be fascinating. The game gives quite a bit of information about how she felt about Exile (particularly to those willing to work through Handmaiden's enormous dialogue trees) but also leaves a lot of questions about exactly what was going on there, especially from Exile's side; one of my favourite things about the game is the way it lets you react to things about your past and set your characterisation as you go, so feel free to take any interpretation that works for you.
Prompts: That's my lightsaber! Learning about each other through combat. The Sith holocrons see that Exile has gone DS and try to manipulate them into being master and apprentice. AU: Atris is so troubled by what happened in the Council chamber that she follows Exile out of civilised space.
Exile/Sion
I have used the "you're in my mind too" line on Sion in the past without the "[Lie]" in front of it more than once (the fact that he's a presence all the way through the game -- even on the menu screen -- makes it plausible to me). I definitely see this ship very much in terms of their shared experiences of being involved with Kreia. One of my favourite things about the game is the way it lets you react to things about your past and set your characterisation as you go, so feel free to take any interpretation that works for you. I find it hard to picture this ship ever being consummated or anything, it's more about the twisted obsession and so on, but go for it if you can make it work.
Prompts: Telepathy/Force bonds. Pain and suffering. Learning about each other through combat. AU: Exile doesn't run on Korriban when Kreia tells her to. The game makes a big deal of the contrast between Nihilus (Force vampire) and Exile (hole in the Force) but there's surely an equivalent thing with Sion and his only being kept alive by the Force.
Brianna | Handmaiden/Visas Marr
This ship strikes me as fascinating; although the game half-heartedly posits them as romantic rivals for Male Exile's attention, they actually have a lot in common in terms of having been trained to a very high level by people who didn't really have their best interests at heart (Atris/Nihilus). Seeing how they come together and deal with that would be awesome; I'd be very interested in something post-canon where they're in at the ground floor of rebuilding the Jedi Order (and possibly searching for Exile) even though their understanding of what it is to be a Jedi has been entirely shaped by people with ... non-standard views.
Prompts: Training together, either along the lines of what they offer Exile in canon (Echani combat/Force Sight) or something different. One of them helping the other come to terms with her past. Post-canon adventures (up to you whether you want to go with the idea that Exile went off to the Unknown Regions or not). Hoods and their significance.
Atris/Kreia
One of my favourite things about KotOR II is that it has two complex female antagonists, but it is a shame that they don't really meet for very long. (Though, as with Handmaiden above, if you sit through a lot of dialogue trees you do get quite a bit about Atris from Kreia's POV.)
Prompts: "Such a quiet thing." Back in her Jedi days, Kreia wheedling her way into getting something from the archives Atris doesn't usually allow access to. An argument (over some obscure piece of Jedi lore, the correct interpretation of the Jedi code, whatever). AU where Kreia trains Atris in Being Darth Traya (either diverging from their encounter on Telos during the ending, or earlier on and she's been manipulating her for much longer).
