Thinking about the Ahsoka/Chase ship as a (Disney) Hercules AU where Ahsoka is in the role of Hercules and Chase is in the role of Meg.

Still sci-fi with just an altered universe.

Ahsoka is the long-lost demigod child of The Daughter. She wasn't found by the Jedi Order until she was too old, and grew up on Shili as an outcast because she can't control her powers. Chase is still bionic, but he essentially sold his soul to The Son to save the life of his love, Reese, before she ultimately betrayed him. Douglas is in the role of both Pain & Panic as The Son's mad scientist minion.

Or maybe Maul and Douglas should be Pain and Panic respectively. That's a possibility. Alternatively, Maul could be the villain Chase is trying to recruit when he and Ahsoka meet, but Megahertz or someone else could potentially fill that spot.

I feel like Obi-Wan should be in the role of Phil, as the grouchy ex-Jedi who left the Order after Anakin fell to the dark side. (Considering the potential that Anakin got over it and is actually living happily on Naboo with wife Padmé, but Obi-Wan's still sulking about it anyways). I've also considered Anakin in the role of Phil, but I think Obi-Wan fits better.

Morai could be a companion of The Daughter instead of a manifestation of The Daughter herself, and fill the role of Pegasus. Or I could give Ahsoka a loth wolf to fill that role. A loth wolf would be funnier considering Chase is allergic to dogs.

Dear Creator Letter (spring rarepair event):

I generally prefer fics about either getting together, or facing an outside conflict together. I’m not a fan of plots that feature almost breaking up due to interpersonal conflicts. If they almost break up due to an outside force (e.g. a third party is trying to push one into a political marriage, someone is kidnapped, that sort of thing), then it’s fine, but I don’t like ‘well, you work too much and it’s really putting a strain on the relationship’ type stuff. Speedbumps on the way to the relationship are fine, though.

Tropes I enjoy or am open to:

Time-travel

No Order 66/Fix-it

Outsider POV

Working with/around each other’s PTSD with each other

Raising children together

Arranged/political marriage

Epistolary elements (not the whole fic)

Hurt/Comfort (NOT whump)

Space OSHA and Space Paperwork and Space Logistics

When the Force does something really weird

When the Jedi blame Mortis (or Morai) for the Force doing something really weird

I enjoy pretty much any kind of gender play, including:

Character is now Nonbinary

Trans (in the direction of canon)

Trans (in the direction opposite canon)

Questioning/Experimenting

Fluid

Magic sex swaps of the 'woke up with my body a different reproductive setup, am learning the meaning of gender euphoria’ variety

Whatever the hell Ranma ½ technically is

I do like AUs of all sorts, so long as the core of the character is intact, with vibes to match. This includes:

Modern - chill bakery/coffee shop/bookstore/beekeeper stuff - classy criminal playing cat and mouse with the FBI agent trying to catch them - 'oh no, you’re my teenager’s English teacher and this parent-teacher conference just got very awkward because we started dating over the summer before I knew’ - one of them is a celebrity - literally just whatever

Historical Fantasy (mostly for the fashion and/or if the author gets really invested in things like trade routes and agricultural pressures and inane tax law)

History AU but only if you go the Bridgerton route of Fun And Funky Tropes Without The Racism

Royal Fantasy

Soulmate

Role Swap (does not have to be between the ship!)

Backstory swap (e.g. Never a Jedi AU, Raised a Sith AU, Senator of Tatooine AU, etc.)

For Want of a Nail

Faustian Castle AU

Fusion crossovers, like: - Leverage AU - Enchanted (2007) AU - Miraculous Ladybug - Naruto - Girl Genius by Phil and Kaja Foglio (this is incredibly niche, ignore if you’re not super into it already)

Regarding my unwanted list

Basic ship things:

No Barr*ssoka.

I do not care about cloneshipping, but would prefer it be in the background if it’s there at all.

I do not mind CodyWan, but would prefer it be in the background if it’s there at all.

No Master/Padawan. I have exceptions when reading, but for an exchange, I’d prefer not to have any in my gift.

While I do love poly, please stick to the ships requested for the main ship. (If there are two or more that have overlapping characters, though, feel free to smush them together, e.g. Jango/Ahsoka and Ahsoka/Quinlan are on there, so Jango/Ahsoka/Quinlan would be fine)

Basic character/setting things:

No character bashing.

The whole Anakin/Consequences movement is one that I dislike immensely. If you don’t know what it is, you’re probably not doing it. If you do know what it is, then you know what I mean here.

It is very common/popular to write Qui-Gon as a neglectful, cold, or downright abusive caregiver/parent figure to the children in his care. I do not like this in the slightest.

For some reason, a lot of writers are very casual about violating a character’s bodily autonomy “for their own good.” I don’t like this (unless it’s horror, but that’s a different topic), and ask that you refrain from having characters do something like that for a person’s own good unless there are some massive extenuating circumstances.

I’m pro-Jedi and pro-New Mandos. I do not want anything that suggests they: - deserved what happened to them - needed to change or learn to accept more militant values/that attachment is good - were stealing/brainwashing children or engaging in cultural genocide

That said, I’m fine with Jedi choosing to leave the Order if given a reason to. (e.g. Obi-Wan deciding to stay on Melida/Daan because the Force insisted he should Because Reasons is fine)

I do like the True Mandos but please don’t lionize them.

I have minimal interest in the Original Trilogy and no interest in the Sequels; my mind is squarely in the Prequels and pre-canon era. - That said, I do delight in having baby versions of the characters present; I am always open to toddler Skywalker twins cameo. - I’m not very into the Bad Batch. Cameos are fine.

Basic vibe things:

I do not want PWP, and figured it’s easier to just do a blanket “no thanks” on smut and kink than try to navigate the details.

I am not a fan of sexual tension being the primary driver of the romance. I’m on the ace spectrum myself, and it always rings false to me.

If you write Rebellion/OT setting versions of the ships, please don’t go hard on the clones being Old.

As much as I love a/b/o, I do not want it here, thank you.

Also not super into folkore AUs or vampire/werewolf AUs.

Self-explanatory DNW:

incest (cloneshipping is fine)

minor/adult ships - age difference of less than three years is fine - major age difference where both are adults is fine

reader insert

Lower body fluids (talking about blood or saliva is fine; excrement is not)

Sick fic (injury recovery is fine) IDK I just get nothing out of most sick fic

Non-canon Dark Histories meant only to make someone more sympathetic or pitiable (e.g. especially Rape as Backstory)

Downer endings (includes breakups that are not resolved)

Particularly dark topics, including: - Noncon - major character death (I’m fine with “Tarkin died and that sure is impacting the war” but “the main character’s younger sister just died and the plot revolves around the grief” is a bit much) - underage sexual content - adultery/infidelity - whump - unresolved terminal illness - suicide - self-harm - domestic abuse - child abuse

ABOUT THE SHIPS (Favorite ships are bolded)

These are not prompts! These are just me trying to explain why/how I ship them, and the vibes I usually go for.

Ships I’ve enjoyed in theory or in fic, in both canon and weird AUs:

Anakin Skywalker/Cody I’m a huge fan of Anakin really, really wanting to impress Cody, and Cody being very hard to impress, but easily amused by Anakin’s attempts. They’re as close to equals as a clone and a natborn can be, and I think there’s a lot to be explored with them.

Rex/Asajj Ventress Rex also does not want to be doing what he is doing. This crush is a terrible idea but holy shit he’s doing it anyway. Ventress is fascinated by him despite herself.

Padme Amidala/Asajj Ventress: Padme “I can fix her” Amidala and Asajj “what is wrong with you do you not have a sense of self-preservation” Ventress

Anakin Skywalker/Bo-Katan Kryze They are nightmare children to their respective older siblings and I adore them.

Aayla Secura/Anakin Skywalker While I do generally interpret these two as more of a sibling relationship, I'm open to them as a romance in the vein of experimenting together as padawans and trying to figure out how all of It works.

 Anakin Skywalker/Asajj Ventress Somehow even more violently out of control than Anakin and Bo, but with a significantly deeper element of Force-related "Light or Dark" "Sith or Jedi" will they or won't they stuff.

Shmi Skywalker/Mace Windu Stepdad Mace is definitely fun, or we can always go with a “new bio dad for Ani” AU. Either way, seems like a treat.

Jango Fett/Shmi Skywalker Two characters who are canonically defined by their parenthood (Shmi only exists because of Darth

Satine Kryze/Asajj Ventress Please just imagine Satine being a disciplinary partner who’s teaching Ventress how to be a better person but they have to be really weird about it so that Ventress doesn’t spook and run off because people are being Too Nice to her.

Luminara Unduli/Obi-Wan Kenobi I think they’d be very chill and that Luminara is so calm and nice and polite that when she does make a snippy comment about a rude senator or something, Obi-Wna is the only one that gets it and he is delighted by the quiet sass.

Padme Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Satine Kryze Political shenanigans and extensive sass.

CC-2224 | Cody/Satine Kryze More politics but like... darker. A lot more colored by traumas and differing upbringings while still wanting the same general endpoint to help their respective peoples.

Barriss Offee/CT-7567 | Rex I think they have a lot of potential... but I haven't seen it without Barr*soka as the tying element, and I'd really like to see post-O66 Barriss and Rex.

Open to age difference (as long as both are adults) OR time-travel:

Cody/Shmi Skywalker Listen to me. Listen. I think Cody would adore a woman who is calm and capable and worldly without being cynical or superpowered or mean. She’s just very pragmatic and down to earth and kind and I think Cody would find that comforting. Meanwhile, Cody is also pragmatic, but he’s the kind of capable that covers Shmi’s own unskilled areas (primarily combat), that doesn’t try to ignore or over-pity her history as a slave, and is capable of dealing with her superpowered child without being overwhelmed by the Force Abilities.

Anakin Skywalker/Mace Windu With an age difference at play, this is just… an explosion of Anakin’s daddy issues, and Mace just humoring those issues, where Anakin is really into him but also really angry about it. Yes he wants to impress Mace. Yes he is also a little dedicated to pissing Mace off. It’s complicated. (Please have Anakin being at least 23 if they’ve got an age difference of over a decade.) Without the age difference, it’s still the daddy issues, except this time Mace doesn’t know what the hell he did to earn Anakin’s complicated feelings.

Anakin Skywalker/Luminara Unduli I like the idea of Luminara being interested in a guy who is so totally the polar opposite of her. She doesn’t want to fix him, but wants to be around him, and wants to be around that fire and passion, even if she has to rein him in once in a while. Anakin, meanwhile, finds her a genuinely calming presence, and the smiles and touches she graces him with when he does something difficult have him wanting to make her proud.

I primarily engage with these ships through time-travel or other AUs, as they are from different parts or generations of canon:

Jango Fett/Ahsoka Tano I’ve written so many time-travel fics about these two and all I can say is that I love Jango being reluctantly in love with a Jedi, because he shouldn’t like her (either because Galidraan already happened and he’s angry about it, or Galidraan hasn’t happened but he’s Mando and she’s Jedi), while Ahsoka has some Conflicted Feelings about Jango because of the clones.

[wren-writes68]

you should definitely continue the scales of the sea au !! its very cool <3

Hello I’ve seen your request and part two will be done by today or tomorrow but in the mean time have this small thing I’ve put together since I had no plan for this to be an au

Scales of the seas creatures and a little more backstory

Warning safe noms and spoilers

Techno is a giant squid 🦑 but still has sharp tusk like fangs

Wilbur is a tiger shark with brown scales that fade into tan and darker stripes. Maybe hints of red or some more red clay like colors and a back fin.

Wilbur is a tiger shark with brown scales that fade into tan and darker stripes. Maybe hints of red or some more red clay like colors and a back fin.

Tommy(my most thought on and main character) I’ve decided is going to be a moray eel because angst and morays are dangerous predators that have even been seen eating smaller eels. (The angst potential) he would have a yellow tan body with crimson spots and a small read outline.

Tiny mer would almost always be reef fish always being small prey fish most of them being harmless reef fish and the giant mer would all be like, sharks, anglers(dragon fish for Phil) squid, ect.

Tommy angst: eels are dangerous to both tiny and giant because of their electric shocks and diet of anything they can fit in their mouths. Imagine the fact tommy had two jaws like imagine this

Techno looked up the little guppy that was usually, well, little staring hungrily at techno’s now tiny form. The giant lunged trapping techno in his mouth, techno’s back half stuck out flailing wildly as something approached from his brothers throat, “what the... FUCK!?” Techno screamed as jaws arose from the throat catching him and dragging him down the slick tube before dropping him in his brothers tummy.

Angst right there^

Spoilers

————————————

Tommy was actually shrunk meaning he’d be slightly bigger than most tinies and still have the same diet (smaller mer and baby fish)

Witch mer (like Ursula) would have size-shifting magic because vore based fic

The sbi are eventually gonna get shrunk and realize Tommy’s not a tiny mer

Tommy sticks painted plastic and other colorful item on his tail to look like a normal mer (he hates how it feels(have a back fin so he doesn’t look like a snake or eel))

The reason tommy is ok with the sbi eating tiny mer is cause he does too but like more gruesome as he literally swallows the other tiny, that’s only slightly smaller than him if that, whole(usually g/t but I might write that in)

Maybe just maybe I might have focused this solely on tommy but like...like.........

Thank you blurrybunny for the ask and I’m glad you like my writing <3 take care my new friend

[stellocchia]

i really didn't think that au through, but

fishes are tommy(some sort of moray eel), phil, techno(i want him also be long fish), niki, quackity(hes deffo some sort of octopus, he feels like that), bbh, skeppy, dream

theres also some sort of?? less fishes guys??? they kinda have traits from fishes, but not exactly??? they can breathe under water and stuff, but not exactly built for living in the water??? (i dunno, i literally was grieving when i created that, i didnt care about logic): wilbur, puffy, sam, sapnap

others are people

I like it, it's very nice...

Also, Quackity definitely fits the octopus vibes, like, 100% I love that choice!

And, I mean, I guess the people who are not entirely fish could simply be mermaid hybrids if you wanna make it simple.

Days 19 & 20: Tuna, Tacos and Treasure in Roatan

The next morning, the kids headed off for more lessons. Yuval ventured out and found a fisherman with some fresh tuna. He bought it so we could have it for our evening dinner!

Yuval kayaked some and I worked a bit. After Yuval returned, we headed out for our exploratory day. We went north and found the cutest little cafe. We sat on swings on the dock, drank cappuccino, and talked about living on a beach. Then we headed out the other direction along the beach. Horses, property for sale, a boxer, a beautiful sunset. We returned and made fresh seared tuna. I made pasta and a salad to accompany and we ate together as a family. It was delicious. Yuval and I headed out after dinner. There was live music again at the 60's hangout, this time downstairs (with less room for the elders to dance), a bass player and guitar player. The music was fantastic (a blended Journey/Phil Collins/Lynard Skynard mixup?) though the mojito was far too sweet. Still, a mojito with live music overlooking the sea. What could be better?

The next day we needed an early start to do a 2-tank dive on the 8:30am boat. Yuval decided one dive would likely be enough for him, while I expected, assuming I found my mojo, that I would do both. The kids played it by ear and ultimately did both.

I could tell you all the wonderful things we saw beneath the sea. A turtle, moray eel, flamingo tongue, tiger fish, you name it. But honestly, the most beautiful thing was.. the kids. And the fact that we were diving together as a family. While I was in the water, rather than looking at the coral, I would look at Keshet and at Paz, overjoyed that they could have this experience, that we could have this experience together. Whether or not this is the sport they discover they love, or simply a new skill they've acquired, I feel so utterly fortunate to be able to do this together.

I expect, given a choice, Paz will choose a snowboard over a scuba set. Keshet might very well pursue training as a skipper and perhaps even make enough money so one day she can buy a catamaran and take us all out sometime (with a lot of seasickness medicine for Yuval and Paz).

All I know is, despite the fact that these two children are still serving their country, they were given permission to take time off, and they chose to spend that time with their parents. That's not a given. I treasure every moment.

That evening was my last night, since I was leaving a day ahead to spend some time with dad. We headed out again, this time planning on getting some local food. We entered a place packed with locals for some baleadas- a Honduran flour tortilla with fillings. That was the first meal we had the entire vacation that was disappointing. So we continued down the road, this time to the place I had initially intended but got sidetracked, a sweet vendor selling homemade tacos made by his wife on the roadside. We ordered the fish tacos and sat on a picnic table. They were just perfect. I hope I can replicate them at home: fresh snapper prepared almost like ceviche, with fresh soft tacos. Glorious.

We started heading back and heard what sounded like a live band. We entered, and sure enough the bassist from the night before was there, with a whole band. The kids found a table and played some cards as Yuval and I danced like crazy to the 70s/80s tunes. The kids left and we stayed on, literally dancing the night away. The band was just right for what we needed that last night.

Returning home past midnight, a thunderstorm struck just in time to lull us asleep.

Dear Creator Letter (rarepair event):

I haven't done this style of exchange before, so I hope this is useful to you folks!

I generally prefer fics about either getting together, or facing an outside conflict together. I'm not a fan of plots that feature almost breaking up due to interpersonal conflicts. If they almost break up due to an outside force (e.g. a third party is trying to push one into a political marriage, someone is kidnapped, that sort of thing), then it's fine, but I don't like 'well, you work too much and it's really putting a strain on the relationship' type stuff.

Anakin Skywalker/Cody I'm a huge fan of Anakin really, really wanting to impress Cody, and Cody being very hard to impress, but easily amused by Anakin's attempts. They're as close to equals as a clone and a natborn can be, and I think there's a lot to be explored with them.

Rex/Asajj Ventress Rex also does not want to be doing what he is doing. This crush is a terrible idea but holy shit he's doing it anyway. Ventress is fascinated by him despite herself.

Padme Amidala/Asajj Ventress: Padme "I can fix her" Amidala and Asajj "what is wrong with you do you not have a sense of self-preservation" Ventress

Barriss Offee/Anakin Skywalker Did you know they're only two years apart in canon? I like to imagine their hypothetical interactions during or after the war, when Barriss is either on her way to a Fall (cynical and losing faith, but not yet there) or recovering/on parole and learning to trust in the Force again, while Anakin is... basically on that same journey, but a few years ahead. He's already had his big horrible moment on Tatooine, and he relates to her in ways most of her peers can't.

Anakin Skywalker/Bo-Katan Kryze They are nightmare children to their respective older siblings and I adore them.

Shmi Skywalker/Mace Windu I haven't seen this ship before but I saw it in the tags list and I am Intrigued. Stepdad Mace is definitely fun, or we can always go with a "new bio dad for Ani" AU.

Jango Fett/Shmi Skywalker Two characters who are canonically defined by their parenthood (Shmi only exists because of Darth Vader's role in the OT; Jango only exists because of Boba's) but have been given more personality and backstory by extended canon, and I just. They have some very mixed up Traumas and Ethics. Shmi would have so many opinions on his actions. But also there is room for another bio-dad for Ani thing, if you want.

Qui-Gon Jinn/Jaster Mereel I haven't really seen this ship but I want to imagine them running into each other during the Obitine Year on the Run and just being Grumpy Old Men about having to pretend they don't notice the teenagers sneaking off for suspiciously long firewood gathering trips.

Anakin Skywalker/Torrent Company ...listen. IDK what to say about this. Anakin just really wants to make it up to his men for being in this situation. It's not a healthy dynamic and is driven at least partly by guilt.

Satine Kryze/Quinlan Vos Haven't read it before but HEY just be nice to Satine and I'll probably enjoy it.

Satine Kryze/Asajj Ventress Please just imagine Satine being a disciplinary partner who's teaching Ventress how to be a better person but they have to be really weird about it so that Ventress doesn't spook and run off because people are being Too Nice to her.

Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Satine Kryze POLITICAL NONSENSE AT ITS FINEST

Quinlan Vos/Obi-Wan Kenobi This is technically one of my OTPs but there's enough of it around that I'm not bothered if it's skipped. IDK why but I default to one of them being a trans dude for this ship more often than not.

Luminara Unduli/Obi-Wan Kenobi I think they'd be very chill and that Luminara is so calm and nice and polite that when she does make a snippy comment about a rude senator or something, Obi-Wna is the only one that gets it and he is delighted by the quiet sass.

Luminara Unduli/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Quinlan Vos Mix of the above, with an added dash of "one of us is masquerading as the brain cell but we're actually all here for the chaos."

Feemor/Shmi Skywalker I'd never heard of it until I saw the tag in this exchange but it looks like A LOT of fun.

Padme Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Satine Kryze Political shenanigans and extensive sass.

Jango Fett/Quinlan Vos I haven't really touched on them outside of a poly situation before, but I Wish To Hear More.

Open to age difference (as long as both are adults) OR time-travel:

Cody/Shmi Skywalker Listen to me. Listen. I think Cody would adore a woman who is calm and capable and worldly without being cynical or superpowered or mean. She's just very pragmatic and down to earth and kind and I think Cody would find that comforting. Meanwhile, Cody is also pragmatic, but he's the kind of capable that covers Shmi's own unskilled areas (primarily combat), that doesn't try to ignore or over-pity her history as a slave, and is capable of dealing with her superpowered child without being overwhelmed by the Force Abilities.

Anakin Skywalker/Mace Windu With an age difference at play, this is just... an explosion of Anakin's daddy issues, and Mace just humoring those issues, where Anakin is really into him but also really angry about it. Yes he wants to impress Mace. Yes he is also a little dedicated to pissing Mace off. It's complicated. (Please have Anakin being at least 23 if they've got an age difference of over a decade on.) Without the age difference, it's still the daddy issues, except this time Mace doesn't know what the hell he did to earn Anakin's complicated feelings.

Anakin Skywalker/Luminara Unduli I like the idea of Luminara being interested in a guy who is so totally the polar opposite of her. She doesn't want to fix him, but wants to be around him, and wants to be around that fire and passion, even if she has to rein him in once in a while. Anakin, meanwhile, finds her a genuinely calming presence, and the smiles and touches she graces him with when he does something difficult have him wanting to make her proud.

Bo-Katan Kryze/Ahsoka Tano NGL I'm mostly invested in either time-travel where Bo-Katan is inexplicably obsessed with a significantly more martial Jedi than the average, or canon timeline where the two of them are regularly coming to each other for comfort or help in the aftermath of RotS.

I primarily engage with these ships through time-travel or other AUs, as they are from different parts or generations of canon:

Jango Fett/Ahsoka Tano I've written so many time-travel fics about these two and all I can say is that I love Jango being reluctantly in love with a Jedi, because he shouldn't like her (either because Galidraan already happened and he's angry about it, or Galidraan hasn't happened but he's Mando and she's Jedi), while Ahsoka has some Conflicted Feelings about Jango because of the clones.

Ahsoka Tano/Quinlan Vos Fuck yeah, spies.
