- Just more silly canon-esque Shenanigans would be perfect for me, no matter who the character(s) are! Whether it's a missing scene from the podcast timeline, or something during the time before the show, or post-canon - any setting would be great! Just any of them having wild and wacky adventures :D This is one of my all time favourite podcasts so like, literally anything about these guys would be awesome!
- Post-canon Mynock crew holiday shenanigans on Elo - I'm sad we never got the Campaign Beach Episode, and I think that should be fixed! I vaguely remember a mention of them possibly running a resort there (I think in the final Binbon & Jubna episode? It's been a while since I listened to that) so how did that happen?
- Alternately, if you wanted to go in a different post-canon direction, I would be totally cool with that! Take the Mynock or Bluebird crews, or Sneak & Tubaik's horde of bounty hunters, to your favourite Star Wars location and let loose the havoc xD I would also be super interested in the characters meeting up with other NPCs from the show again, like Talon or Rendezvous, and/or any other canon characters you think it'd be funny for these guys to meet.
- Maybe the Mynock crew finally get back to the actual Rebellion?
- Possible hijinks of a post-canon arc where they actually follow through on dropping Nemo off with Zara?
- Or a post-canon arc where they have to get D20 back from Kamino, including a lot of wrangling with the Empire and angst for Bacta over going back to his "homeworld"?
- Or either post-canon idea above, but from the perspective of the Bluebird crew?
- Or maybe the Bluebirds get their own post-canon adventure?
- I'm always here for Zeblue shennanigans/getting together/porn!
- For Sneak & Tubaik, I am also super interested in post-canon relationship development and what they get up to!
- I'm also really interested in pre-canon Sneak & Tubaik as well - how did they meet and start their bounty hunting empire? And I'm honestly really interested in the daily ins and outs of running a huge bounty hunting operation plus merch business!
- For shipping, I like Zero/Blue, Tryst/Bacta, Sneak/Tubaik, Lyn/hot women, and Tryst/the most unadvisable person you can think of xD (I don't mind Tryst/Aava or Bacta/Rendezvous or Bacta/Sian being a thing, I just don't actively ship them and would prefer these ships not be the focus of the story).
Jack Miller
I love everything about this book, from the plot to the setting to the characters to the horror. Go as scary as you like with your fic, I will love it! I love Jack and his prickly exterior that hides a softer centre, and how determined he is to not let everybody else down and to complete their task out on the island. I love how he’s either not really aware of being in love with Gus at first, or tries to hide it in his written journals. I love how Gus is like an action hero but doesn’t seem to realise it, and he’s just so earnest and well-meaning despite sometimes putting his foot in his mouth.
Prompts:
- Any kind of Gus Lives!AU. Maybe Jack manages to save him right at the end?
- I would love some post-canon AU feels where Gus and Jack work out they’re into each other and how to go forward with their lives.
- I would absolutely love if by some circumstance Algie had to leave Gruhuken sometime after they arrived (perhaps he’s the one who gets appendicitis?) which leaves Gus and Jack on their own confronting the monster. Would love if this included any sort of huddling for warmth/Canadian shack type tropes, or saving one another from the monster, or helping each other hold onto their sanity when they think they’re going mad. And I would love if Algie came in at the eleventh hour to save them just like in canon (but no one dies please!)
- I would also love any AU that transposes these characters and their situation to a different setting while keeping the isolated, creepy vibe of canon! Maybe the middle of the wilderness? On top of a mountain? On the bottom of the sea? In space?
Fandom Specific DNW: Isaak dying or any bad things happening to him.
I love the classic horror stories vibe of this canon, and all its creepiness, and how much Booth resents and fears being caught up in all of it. I also love how he's genre-savvy most of the time, with his general knowledge about ghosts/demons/the supernatural, even when he’s also very afraid. I love the other characters in these stories and would love for people like Ratcliffe, Starkweather, Claudia, Alexis, etc. to turn up as well!
Prompts:
- Just any case-fic, ghost story, or monster-of-the-week type story! Take your favourite type of ghost story, or folklore creature/monster, and have Booth encounter it!
- Vampires. I love vampires, and Booth’s already encountered werewolves, so why not their (supposed) natural enemies? A very hot vampire gentleman flirting with and menacing Booth would be ideal.
- Post-canon for A Theory of Haunting - Booth visiting Alexis? Or I would also love to see an AU where Alexis didn't have a nervous breakdown as in canon - what does he do next? Does Booth see him again? Maybe another Alexis & Booth ghost adventure? I loved how Alexis was confident about his abilities but came to work with Booth - maybe Booth becoming a somewhat unwilling mentor figure?
- I do ship Booth/Ratcliffe so feel free to go there in any way you see fit! Awkward flirting/first times? Get togethers? Casefic with a romantic element? I'd love all of that.
- If you wanted to go for smut I would love that! Either fluffy/romantic between Ratcliffe/Booth or Booth/OMC, or I would also be very into non- or dub-con between Booth and an antagonistic OMC, especially if the OMC is monstrous somehow! (Non-con DNW doesn't apply for this particular prompt!)
Fandom Specific DNWs:
- Booth/any female character or OC (shipping him with a male OC is fine and encouraged though!)
- Ivo Balthasar on-screen or in an on-screen relationship with Booth. I don't mind their relationship playing out as it did in canon, and I also would love to see Booth remembering what happened and healing from it, but I don't want any story where they meet again somehow, or an AU that gets them together.
Andor
Leida Mothma
Dedra Meero
- For Leida, I'd love to see what life is like for her as the daughter of a rich and important senator. When did she start to feel resentful of her mother? What's school and her social life like on Coruscant? Does she miss Chandrila, or does Coruscant feel like her home? Why does she feel drawn to the Chandrilan traditions like getting married super early? Does it have something to do with her not living on Chandrila? And what do those traditions entail? (The way the show presented it gave me tradwife vibes, and I'd be happy for you to explore how those ideas would interact with the world of Star Wars, but I would also be happy for you to make it different or weird in a completely different direction).
- I would also be super interested in seeing an older Leida. What happens to her when Mon finally joins the Rebellion full-time? Does she go with her? Does she stay and profess loyalty to the Empire - and is that loyalty 100%? If she goes through with the marriage set up at the end of Season One, how does that develop? Does she end up resenting the marriage like Mon, or does it work out against the odds?
- For Dedra, I would love to know more about her background. Where did she come from? What were her family like? What was her childhood like? How did she end up joining the ISB, and how did she rise? Partagaz says she came "from enforcement", so what was her previous position like, and how did she transfer to supervision?
- Where do she and Syril go from the end of the season? How does her view on him change? I'd be down for their fucked-up love story xD I would also love to see him achieving his dream of joining the ISB and him and Dedra as co-workers. Are they terrible, or terrifying? (Or both?)
- Totally optional but if you've watched Rebels, I would love something about her meeting or working with Kallus. In a similar vein, if you've read the Thrawn novels, I would absolutely love to see her meeting Thrawn and/or Eli Vanto - or maybe all of these people meeting, and having to solve something for the Empire?
Thanks for reading, and Happy Yuletide!!
