General

I’m a fan of romance, adventure (especially quests!), casefic, plotty fic, fluff, gen, world-building and character studies. I am happy with any rating and any tone, from fluffy curtain fic down to pretty dark stuff. I usually prefer at least a bittersweet ending, though (unless otherwise specified). I love fics that are realistic and I love stuff that’s tropey as all get out; go wild.

Some themes/tropes I really love include: characters fighting against/changing fate, everything about survival (what it means, how it changes you, the lengths you went to), the pressures and struggles of leadership, two people against the world together, found family anything, harsh/beautiful (or harshly beautiful) physical landscapes, gifts or gestures with intense or very personal meanings, anything where characters just get one another, characters who grapple with becoming evil or doing evil deeds, villains who believe they’re in the right, villains who just don’t care about morality, characters who are determined hope will prevail above all else, characters who really feel the weight of their heritage/someone's legacy and a pressure to live up to that.

I am also very into AUs and fusions, including: fantasy (urban, high, whatever), post-apocalypse, sci-fi/space, superpowers, Pacific Rim fusions, reincarnation, royal/arranged marriage

Porn Likes

I really love porn that’s about the characters and centres their relationship. Emotionally charged, desperate, I-need-you-it-can’t-wait sex is fantastic! Sex that’s the culmination of a slow burn and/or a really intense bout of UST is my absolute jam. I’m pretty vanilla when it comes to things like BDSM, so anything beyond blindfolds and tying up wrists is a no-go for me. I’m not really into dom/sub dynamics, but a bit of dirty talk is great. A bit of rough sex – hair-pulling, pushing up against walls, scratching/biting, not being 100% gentle all the time is also very good ;) I'm also always down with xeno and human/non-human sex!

DNWs

Relationships

Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano: I love the development of these two’s relationship, and how important they both become to each other. Anything about how they bond, and how they work together. If you want to do an AU where Ahsoka stays at the Temple or Anakin goes looking for her, I’d love to see it. I just want anything where they’re important to each other!

CC-2224 | Cody/Obi-Wan Kenobi: I love the idea of these two slowly becoming more and more important to each other as the war progresses. How do they express this? Does this ever become a consummated relationship or is it all just longing and significant looks? How does Cody feel about Obi-Wan’s apparent death in the Rako Hardeen arc, or about Order 66?

CC-5052 | Bly/Aayla Secura: I ship these two like burning, and anything you can give me would be amazing. Developing feelings, the feelings of guilt over those feelings, relief and also guilt when/if they finally act on those feelings. I’d love something about the growing bond between them and how they come to be so close, and maybe how hesitant they are about admitting to those feelings before they do. Smoking hot ‘we shouldn’t but we are and no one can find out’ smut would be amazing too.

CT-7567 | Rex/Ahsoka Tano: These two are great together and I’d love anything that was more of their badassery and banter. Siege of Mandalore feels/shenanigans welcome, especially if you go AU and have them run off together to avoid the Empire! Or just some developing relationship stuff while they're working together during the war? A mission with just them together? (NB: On my underage DNW, I would like any smut to be when Ahsoka is 16+)

Obi-Wan Kenobi & Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano: These three make a fantastic team and I love them together. Maybe something about what Ahsoka learns from having both of them around? The three of them bonding while on downtime? Them on a mission? Anything about them on Mortis and how fucking weird it was would be aces!

Obi-Wan Kenobi & Ahsoka Tano: I want to see more of these two interacting! Maybe Ahsoka asks him about what Anakin was like as a kid/Padawan? Maybe they have to bail Anakin out of something, or he’s off on a mission alone and these two have to take care of something together?

 Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker: Their relationship is possibly my favourite in Star Wars. How do they bond while Anakin is a Padawan? I’m fascinated by the way their relationship changes once Anakin is knighted, and how they deal with the ongoing war. Is it the stress of war and battle that finally makes Obi-Wan lax with the Jedi Code, and something happens? How does Obi-Wan deal with the tragedy at the end of Episode Three – and what about an AU where everything went worse, or everything went better? Post-ROTS AUs of any kind are my favourite, especially if Anakin goes dark but manages to keep hold of Obi-Wan, or if Anakin remains a Jedi but the Jedi fall anyway.

Depa Billaba & Mace Windu: I’ve read Shatterpoint and the Kanan comics, so keep whichever version you like! I’d just like to see these two interact – Depa is one of the few people Mace openly cares for, so how did they become so close? What was their bond as Master and Padawan like? Maybe a mission/some hijinks they got up to as master and padawan? If you go with the Shatterpoint story, how devastating is it for Mace to see what Depa’s done, and how do they rebuild their bond – or not – afterward?

Carth Onasi/Female Revan: I love characters who are bound by/feel beholden to their duty, and Carth is this 100%. Even after everything that’s happened to him, he still believes in things, still fights for ideals. I also like how, even though the reveal that the PC is Revan shocks him for a while, he doesn’t let prejudice hold him back, and judges her on her own actions (which may confirm his prejudice if you play darkside, but since I usually play lightside this is more of a ‘he overcomes his prejudice’ story for me xD) I ship Carth/Revan pretty hard, so shipfic will always be amazing. I’d love to see something about them falling for each other slowly, both of them wondering if it’s right, what with her being a Jedi – and then that reveal comes exploding onto the scene. How on earth do they both feel after that? How do they deal with it? I’d also love some post-game fic for him and Revan. How do they begin to make it work, what with her presumably becoming a Jedi again and helping to start rebuilding the Order, and him presumably starting more involved missions for the Republic?

Carth Onasi/Female Revan & Mission Vao: How does Mission see their relationship, and how does she relate to them both/each other individually? I love the cute-but-smart-kid and older mentor vibe from Revan & Mission. I find it interesting that Mission seems to be the least bothered about the reveal that the PC is Revan – what’s her reasoning? Would she really judge anyone based on who they’d become, or is it only because Revan has been a kind and supportive presence to her that she’s fine with it? (Obviously angling for a lightside!Revan here) She seems to shake it off, but does she really feel that at peace about it? Does she really harbour no doubts about working with someone like Revan, or if she does, why does she chose not to be suspicious? Perhaps her background working with criminals makes her more forgiving of someone’s mistakes? I’d love to get some deeper introspection/character study on why she’s prepared to accept that Revan is Revan so easily. I’d love to see Revan taking her under their wing a little, maybe giving her some pointers on the ways of the universe, or discussing what both of them have learnt during their travels. Carth is clearly the uncool dad who cares about keeping Mission safe, which irritates her just as much as it warms her. I feel like Carth would try to help her out, though I feel like he gets exasperated with her easily and Mission wouldn’t be able to resist winding him up.
