Canon Notes:

Request 1: Cardinal/Vi Moradi, Siv/Torben, Fanart, Fanfic

I have to say that for all the divided opinions I had about <i>Phasma</i>, I was left wanting more information about the two duos here. With Vi and Cardinal, I thought the gradual change in their relationship was well done, without moving things too fast. With Siv/Torben, the sweet and tender moments interspersed between a lot of bloodshed are like crack to me. 

Prompts (all spoilers!):

Cardinal/Vi

* Slow burn between Cardinal and Vi. I don't really want to gloss over the fact that Cardinal tortured her, but I would like to see them move past both that and their rather different origins. Maybe something several years down the line?

* Cardinal flips to the Resistance but is finding making it his home difficult. Vi helps.

* Vi is injured on a Mission Gone Wrong. Cardinal becomes an unlikely rescuer - and even brings along her knitting.

Siv/Torben

* Growing up on Parnassos! First meetings, desperate moments, near-misses - and the sweet and tender moments in-between.

* The obligatory fix it AU where Torben lives.

* Siv talking about their culture with Torbi, and letting her know all about her adventures with Torbi's dad.

Request 2: Dooku/Asajj Ventress, Dooku/Qui-Gon Jinn, Fanart, Fanfic, Fanvid

Dooku is my favorite PT Sithlord and I'd love, love, love to read more fic about him. I've always been fascinated with his relationship with Asajj Ventress, who is so loyal to him despite his desire to hold her at arm's length and hesitance over naming her his Sith apprentice. I'd also love to see anything sketching in his relationship with Qui-Gon, which remains a fascinating mystery to me. Please disregard <i>Dark Diciple</i> canon as I haven't read it. 

Prompts:

Dooku/Asajj:

* Twisted up love affair where two people deeply morning their parental/son figures hook up, have a very intense fling, but are left uncomfortable by how deeply their relationship is intertwined with their hatred and sadness.

* Dooku Lives AU where Asajj rescues him - only to plan something far worse of a fate for him. Along the way to that fate, Dooku manages to seduce Ventress back onto his side - or does he?

* AU where Sidious asks Dooku to kill Ventress and Dooku makes a v. different choice. 

Dooku/Qui-Gon:

* Any and all scenes of how they got together and make time for one another while remaining part of the Jedi order. Do they know it's against the tenants of the order and keep it a secret? Or do neither of them see it as a problem?

* AU where Qui-Gon lives - how does this change Dooku's fate?

* Any and all scenes of Dooku paying his respects to Qui-Gon, bittersweet talks with Obi-Wan, frustrations, decisions to leave the Jedi Order, etc.

Request 3: Firmus Piett/Darth Vader, Firmus Piett/Terex, Fanart, Fanfic

I've always had a soft spot for Firmus Piett. Not a fan of the old-school EU portrayal of him as a sniveling, conniving officer; I tend to prefer the films' view of him as a visibly nervous man who believes in the Empire but is also <i>terrified</i> of his superior officer, yet doesn't let that get in the way of his performance. I think he and Vader seem to get along fairly well; Vader must think highly of him since he's choked others for far less than losing the Millennium Falcon <i>while his son was on-board</i>; I tend to think Vader appreciates Piett's quiet competence and Piett appreciates his lordship's command. As far as Terex and Piett, I would love to see these two people who love the Empire feeling drawn together - are they allowed together or does the Imperial Navy forbid relationships between officers/stormtroopers? Does Terex get frustrated by Piett's quieter nature, or, vice versa, does Piett get irritated with Terex's affable loudmouth?

Prompts:

Vader/Piett

*  Piett discovers a surprising secret of Lord Vader's, and rather than being choked, it brings them closer together.

* Piett has a son that joins the rebellion and he is devastated by this news. Vader, surprisingly, relates.

* Piett and Vader being forced to fight for their lives against one of Vader's many, many enemies. Piett proves surprisingly competent and loyal in this endeavor.

Piett/Terex:

* Terex is assigned to the Executor.  TK-603 and Piett come together over a surprising interest.

* Dinner in the mess hall together. Piett is embarrassed,  TK-603 is annoyed, but somehow it all works out.

* Terex after learning of Piett's fate in ROTJ, and how he copes with it.

Request 4: Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Darth Vader's Helmet, Jobal Naberrie/Sheev Palpatine | Darth Sideous, Fanart, Fanfic

These two are my crackships, but for very different reasons. I've had conspiracy theories of Palpatine being Padme or Sola's father since I read the line in the Darth Plageuis' novel where Sideious/Palpatine notes that Padme's mother has "kept her beauty." It is my fav. Star Wars conspiracy theory outside of Bigger Luke. Ben and his love affair with his grandfather's burned up helmet, on the other hand? Sheer, sheer crack. Make me believe, and make me laugh, please!

Prompts:

Jobal/Palpatine:

* Forbidden affairs; how did they meet, how did they keep Jobal's husband from finding out, what does Jobal do when she finds out she's pregnant?

* Palpatine loses interest in Padme when she is born because she isn't force sensitive. Jobal is somewhat relieved, but the worry comes flooding back into her when Palpatine takes an interest in Padme when she becomes part of the youth legislature.

* Palpatine POV on Jobal. Creepier the better. 

Kylo/Vader's Helmet:

* How did he get it?

* What does he do with it?

* How does Vader "show him the light"? Does it involve the helmet?

Request 5 by AceQueenKing: Leia Organa/Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker/Darth Vader, Fanart, Fanfic

The Skywalker Family is so screwed up in so many ways that any sort of incest pairing is just kind of fascinating to me. For the pairings with the siblings with their dad, I'm a bit fascinated by the power imbalance. For Leia, I think it could have been more sadly probable - Leia is so much like her mother in looks, and so much like her father in temperament that I think he would find her jarring. Luke he already has a bond with - but obviously, incest would twist that relationship quite a bit. Neither is really a happy ever after pairing so feel free to drown me in the angst. I am also fine, given the subject matter, of it being an unrequited feeling from either side. Basically, go dark. ;) 

Prompts:

Vader/Leia:

* AU where Luke dies before getting to Endor through the Emperor's hand. Vader and Leia team up in a terrifying way to take revenge on their lost friend/son.

* Leia looks so very much like Padme, sometimes Vader can’t quite resist thinking of her in the same way.

* Leia uses the force on the Death Star, and Vader finds himself with an apprentice he suddenly has to save from Tarkin's bloodthirsty grip. Unfortunately, desperate times call for desperate measures...

Vader/Luke:

* The Emperor erases Vader’s mind. Luke tries to pick up the pieces, but things wind up getting increasingly muddled.

* Luke is all Vader has left of his wife.

* Luke has his memory wiped. Vader takes advantage to manipulate his son to his side.

Request 6: Padmé Amidala/Dooku, Padmé Amidala/Sheev Palpatine, Fanart, Fanfic

I'd really like to see the emotional side of the politicians in the PT. Padme, Sidious, and Dooku are all vitally important to the plot of the PT, but most get shoved into the background. Padme really suffers from this, particularly in Revenge of the Sith, where she's at her most vulnerable (and therefore, to me, most interesting).  I'm particularly interested in how her relationship with Sideous/Palpatine changes through the movies; from allies to enemies. With Dooku, I've always been fond of the idea of Dooku and Padme having similar politics in the end, and I'm always interested in the idea of what might have happened between them if they only had more time to talk to one another. Whether or not Padme is also in a relationship with Anakin is up to you.

Prompts:

Padme/Dooku:

* Padme is taken prisoner by Dooku. He tries to seduce her to his side of the argument - and she tries to do the same to him.

* Dooku survives ROTS and forms the rebellion with Padme, Bail, and Mon Mothma. Given that Dooku has the ships and reputation of the Confederacy, how does this change the rebellion?

* Dooku survives and, somehow manages to save Padme from a darker fate - but why? and how?

Padme/Palpatine:

* Padme gets hurt and forgets who she is. Different people try to convince her they know her, but not all of them mean well. Palpatine, given that he is also from her home planet, offers to take her home - but his reasons are his own.

* Palpatine finds out about Anakin's marriage to Padme and offers to help the lovebirds. But this offer comes with some heavy strings, ones tht Padme isn't sure are worth it in the end.

* Palpatine starts seeing signs of the force in Padme - and decides to take her as an apprentice along with Anakin. But what he wants form her is far more than just her power...

Request 7: Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker, Natasi Daala/Ysanne Isard, Fanart, Fanfic

Ah, these are my sad pairs/what could be pairs. I'm ok with you re-writing Luke and Leia to not be siblings or keep them related; no squicks against incest for me when it's Skywalkers. :) For Ysanne and Daala, I'm not too attached to Daala being with Tarkin or not, either is fine. For both, I'm mostly looking for the sort or regret/resignation/mourning of a changing relationship, or the changes in personality that a large amount of time spent apart inevitably brings. 

Prompts:

Leia/Luke:

* An exploration of Luke and Leia’s psychic connection, and how it feels.

* Luke and Leia were lovers before they were twins. Sometimes, they can’t fight loving one another the way they used to.

* Ben finds out about his mother's relationship with his uncle. His reaction hurts the twins but also drives them closer together. 

Daala/Isard:

* Finding one another in deep space after the destruction of the Empire. At first, Daala is devastated but quickly begins to scheme with Isard.

* Daala wants to get ahead in the Imperial Navy. And the best way to do that is seducing the intelligence director.

* Daala and Isard are sent to the same prison after both being captured by the Rebellion/New Republic. They create an alliance that turns sexual.

Request 8:Padmé Amidala/Sabé (Star Wars), Padmé Amidala/Sabé/Anakin Skywalker, Fanart, Fanfic

I'm really fascinated by the idea of doubles and how these two, who are meant to be mirrors of one another, falling in love together. I love the idea of these two girls being bonded through war experiences at a young, young age and staying together throughout their lives. As far as Anakin being involved, I'm fine with V-style polyamory where he knows and accepts Sabe is part of his wife's love life and the two are friends, or if it's a threesome where Padme brings her yummy Jedi boytoy home for them both to play with.

Prompts:

Padme/Sabe:

* Sabe and Padme are the open secret of the Naboo court; they have their own language to communicate with one another when others are looking.

* Sabe and Padme keep exchanging letters throughout their careers, even as those careers take them to very different places.

* Padme is kissed by Palo and doesn't like it. Sabe helps show her what a *good* kiss can feel like.

Padme/Sabe/Anakin:

* Sabe finds out about Padme's pregnancy and immediately volunteers to move in with her friend/former liege. This changes Padme and Anakin's lives in an unexpected way.

* Padme survives ROTS and her friendship with Sabe gradually turns to love. They work together to bring down the Empire - but unfortunately, Padme is still in love with Anakin/Vader, and Sabe worries about what will happen to her friend if/when they finally meet.

* Padme announces to Sabe that she's bringing home a cute Jedi for them to play with. Anakin does not mind being the play-mate of these two ladies <i>at all</i>.

Request 9: Oola/Leia Organa, Padmé Amidala/Darth Vader, Fanart, Fanfic

And here come my hurt/comfort pairings! Oola and Leia are a fav rare pair of mine; I love the idea of Oola taking Leia under her wing and trying to help her survive Jabba's palace, only to find out this is <i>Leia Organa</i>, rebel princess FOR REAL, and Oola winds up getting rescued by the Huttslayer. As far as Padme/Vader, this is a fav and I love either the idea of rebel! Padme and empire! Anakin/Vader still loving one another despite their massive, massive differences preventing them from being together, or the idea of Empire! Padme who is struggling with staying with her husband - at the cost of her political soul. 

Prompts:

Oola/Leia:

* What is Oola's story? Was she born into slavery, like Anakin, or sold somehow? How did she wind up at Jabba's? And how does Oola help Leia survive Jabba's?

* Oola survives the Rancor and helps fight with Luke/Leia during the sand barge assault. She survives and winds up in the Rebellion - how does Leia help her survive there?

* Oola teaches Leia how to dance. 

Padme/Vader:

* Empire! Padme AU where she survives and stays by Anakin's side. The rebellion doesn't trust her, Palpatine openly despizes her, and Anakin is highly dependant on her for care since he's still learning to live without his arms/legs. She loves him but she hates him, and boy is it complicated.

* Rebel! Padme and Vader fight fighting on a battlefield, though neither of them wants the battle to end.

* Vader takes Padme's offer and runs away with her. But living with a Sith is challenging...

Request 10: Ransolm Casterfo/Leia Organa, Ransolm Casterfo/Terex, Fanart, Fanfic

For Both of those, I'd really like to see an author give their take on Ransolm. He's a complex character for someone who only appears in one book, and I'd love to see an exploration of where he's been and where he might go. With Terex, I'd love to see these two opposites attract, much to their own mutual annoyance of how the other is Doing This Imperial Fetish Thing wrong. With Leia, I just really want fix it fic because I'll pretty much never be over what happens at the end of <i>Bloodlines</i>.

Prompts (Spoilers for Bloodlines for both):

Ransolm/Terex

* Terex meets Ransolm at an auction and the both wind up bidding on the same piece of Imperial regalia.  It turns out the auction isn't the only thing that's hot and heavy.

* Terex's old helmet somehow winds up in Ransolm's collection. When Terex finds it, it takes him down memory lane in more than one way.

* Terex is a guard in Ransolm's prison cell. Ransolm is an interesting prisoner to observe.

Ransolm/Leia

* Ransolm dreams about Leia rescuing - so much so he isn't sure whether or not she exists if/when she finally comes for him.

* Ransolm finds out Han has died prior to his rescue - and isn't quite sure how to process that information. He tries to give his condolences to Leia and ends up helping her move on.

* Ransolm struggles to find a role in the Resistance. Leia helps him.
