antonomasiaDear SW Rare Pairs Author,
Hi! Thank you so much in advance for whatever it is that you write for me! For some of the rels below I’ve got prompt ideas and for some I’ve just got general feelings about the relationship; apologies if the one you matched on has one and you’d prefer the other, but hopefully it’ll give you at least some ideas. And feel free to disregard the prompts if you’ve got something you’ve been dying to write.
General likes: meet-cutes, established relationships, queerplatonic relationships, romantic relationships, found family, hurt/comfort, humor, angst, banter, what-if’s, the bonds between the clones and the Jedi (they know each other in a way that nobody else in the universe does)
General dislikes: explicit sex (fade to black before it happens is fine), rape/non con, A/B/O, soulmates, mundane AU’s (i.e. coffee shop, high school), one-sided pining, Hanahaki disease, sickfic, major character death, kidfic, de-aging, bashing of the Jedi Order or Council. Not sure if it’s worth mentioning or not since none of my requests are Sequel Trilogy era, but: please no Kylo Ren or Hux.
Pairings:
Cara Dune/Leia Organa - Leia must have enticed Cara to join the Rebellion <i>somehow</i>. :P Alternatively, Leia and Cara on Alderaan as young women, or finding each other after Alderaan’s destruction
CC-1010 | Fox/Quinlan Vos - Quinlan is freer than most Jedi, and Fox is more chained to Coruscant and under the chancellor’s thumb than most clones. I tend to enjoy stories with them undercover in the lower levels of Coruscant (optional whether or not they each know the other is undercover), and also stories about their shared experience of memory loss (assuming Palpatine has been messing with Fox’s head).
CT-21-0408 | Echo/CT-27-5555 | Fives | ARC-5555/Quinlan Vos - The ultimate disaster trio. They would get into so much trouble together under literally any circumstances
CT-5597 | Jesse/CT-6116 | Kix - They’re perfectly comfortable in each other’s presence, constant physical affection, and the expectation that they can turn around and the other will be there, and it’s so rare to see a pair of clones that actually get to stay together for the duration of the war. I’m fine with angst for them, but I’d prefer if the story doesn’t involve Jesse’s death or Kix’s disappearance.
Alvis Akari/Chirrut Imwe/Baze Malbus - It would be fun to explore the differences and similarities in their spiritualities, and their common understanding that faith is something worth suffering for. Bonus points for Chirrut's and Baze’s reactions to Alvis’ scars
Din Djarin/Dutch | Yalena Yardeen
Dutch | Yelena Yardeen/Boba Fett
Dutch | Yalena Yardeen/Ahsoka Tano - Grouping these together because I want essentially the same thing from all of them: namely DUTCH AND BOUNTY HUNTERS/SPIES! There would be so much snark, so much banter, so much friendly competition.
CC-5576-39 | Gregor/Quinlan Vos - Let’s face it, if any Jedi was going to crash-land on Gregor’s planet, it would be Quinlan. And Quinlan would never leave Gregor behind.
CT-6116 | Kix/Original Clone Trooper Medic - Kix deserves so much love, and honestly so do all the other medics that we never get to see. Could be an existing OC (i’m a fan of soliamurr’s and blackkat’s Shank, blackkat's Payback, and epsiloneridani’s Mirj) or a new one.
Nico Diath/Dooku | Darth Tyranus - I love these two as a married couple that have gotten divorced half a dozen times and absolutely nobody understands why they’re back together yet again since all they ever do is complain about how terrible the other is.
CT-21-0408 | Echo/Feral - The broken things left behind. I’m very much in denial about Feral’s death in canon, and I think he and post-Skako-Minor-Echo would be a good complement for one another.
Din Djarin/Boba Fett - Clearly Din had spent some time on Tatooine, which was generally Boba’s territory, so either they must have run into each other at some point, or Din showed up after Boba fell into the sarlacc <s>and pulled him out</s>. It would be interesting to explore their different views of Mandalorian society and its traditions, and where each of them fits into it.
Faie/Quinlan Vos - I love Quinlan’s unique blend of disaster and competence, and any clones that were put under his command would have to be able to roll with that or stand strong in the face of it (or both). I prefer to ignore Quinlan’s comics-canon hatred of clones, but any other direction you choose to go in for them would be great.
Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi - Obi-Wan is as close as anyone has been in a long time to being a Mandalorian Jedi. I like it when he acknowledges Jango as Mand’alor even if Jango isn’t yet ready to think about that, and I also enjoy Jango being absolutely furious and frustrated with himself for falling in love with a Jedi, and with the entire universe for conspiring to put Obi-Wan in his path.
Jon Antilles/CT-7567 | Rex - Jon doesn’t understand why someone would be nice to him, and Rex is incapable of not being nice. Also, they’re both incredibly badass and deserve good things. And Jon, who has been declared dead multiple times, definitely did not die in that comic.
Obi-Wan Kenobi/Quinlan Vos - Quinlan is one of the very few people that Obi-Wan can be completely comfortable around, secure in the knowledge that no matter how much of a disaster he may be, people will always blame everything on Quinlan. I like them having adventures together, but I also like moments where they pause and acknowledge that both of them have suffered through a whole lot.
CC-2224 | Cody/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Owen Lars/Beru Whitesun - I always enjoy sad!Obi-Wan on Tatooine getting bullied in a friendly way into being a part of the Lars/Whitesun/Skywalker family, but it wouldn’t be complete without eventually!de-chipped Cody joining them as well, with all the angst but also all of the healing.
Again, thanks for writing for me, and I hope you have a great exchange!
