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, found family, hurt/comfort, dramatic rescues, undercover, on the run, humor, angst, banter, what-if’s, the bonds between the clones and the Jedi
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:
CC-5576-39 | Gregor/Quinlan Vos - Let’s face it, if any Jedi was going to wind up on Gregor’s planet, it would be Quinlan. And Quinlan would somehow be more of a disaster than D Squad, but far less rude, and he’d make sure he took Gregor with him if he managed to get on a shuttle.
CT-21-0408 | CT-1409 | 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. Possibly Rebellion Era as well, especially if Echo doesn’t go off with the Bad Batch.
Din Djarin/CT-6116 | Kix - I love the idea of Kix getting defrosted during the Rebellion Era or the immediate aftermath, when some of his brothers could conceivably still be alive. And Din, who somehow managed to live his entire life under a rock, wouldn’t have any biases or prejudices against the clones, but would respect Kix for his skill as a medic and with a blaster. Plus, Kix would recognize Grogu’s species and know things about Jedi.
R0-GR/R0-HK - Roger is just endlessly fascinating to me - a B1 battle droid who somehow served in every single major Clone Wars battle and managed to survive getting chopped in half by like a dozen different Jedi, and who is so convinced of his own self-worth that he wrote an autobiography with the first chapter titled “Lo, I am Manufactured.” And the fact that he was able to instantly recognize R0-HK in the museum was adorable, and they deserve their happy ending together.
Peli Motto/Beru Whitesun - Tatooine freedom trail! Tough, badass ladies lying to the Hutts and using their expertise in their respective fields and their familiarity with the desert and general survival on Tatooine to keep people safe and outsmart the bad guys! I'm okay with you throwing Owen in as well, but if you don't, please just pretend he's not in the picture at all because I'd rather not have Beru actively cheating on him.
Glitch/Howzer - Glitch being a Force-Sensitive clone is so interesting, with all the angst of nobody believing him and nobody willing to train him, and needing to hide his gifts from the Kaminoans who would have decommissioned him for being different than the others. Since he was left for dead at the end of his comic, that gives him some brand new opportunities, and I like the idea of him following the will of the Force to rescue clones in need, and Howzer definitely qualifies as needing rescue. Alternatively, since we still don’t have an explanation as to why Howzer was able to retain so much of himself in spite of the chip, maybe he’s Force-sensitive too,
Jon Antilles/CC-2224 | Cody - Both of them take on so much responsibility and are so alone, and deserve someone who will remind them that they’re precious and beautiful and not just a tool. Bonus if they’re both badasses in front of each other and particularly when working together. If you write this, please just casually ignore the fact that Jon supposedly died on Quetya.
CT-21-0408 | CT-1409 | Echo/Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries) - There are so many directions this could go. Angst over Echo’s cybernetics and his status as a slave soldier (not so different from Murderbot at all). Murderbot offering the services of the entire Preservation Aux team to fix all of Echo's problems. An AU where there are SecUnits in the Star Wars universe, or one where Echo somehow ends up in the Murderbot universe. Special request for this pairing: if you write this, please use it/its pronouns for Murderbot.
Dutch | Yalena Yardeen (Killjoys)/Boba Fett - There would be so much snark, so much banter, so much friendly competition. Up to you whether it’s Boba trying to make a name for himself in the RAC, or Dutch in the Star Wars universe.
Again, thanks for writing for me, and I hope you have a great exchange!
