Star Wars Rare Pairs 2023!
Oct. 2nd, 2023 01:57 pmHello!! Thank you for agreeing to write something for me. <3 If you're writing me a treat, please gift it to facingthenorthwind (spacegandalf). Optional details are optional, of course, and I'd love to see whatever you come up with! Some of these ships have more stuff about them than others but that's not because I'm less enthusiastic about the others! My brain is just so very empty.
In terms of what canon I've consumed, I'm familiar with the Original Trilogy, the Prequel Trilogy, The Clone Wars (2008) cartoon, Rebels, Tales of the Jedi, Leia Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray, Queen's Shadow series, Jedi Fallen Order + Jedi Survivor, The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor. If you want to play in those worlds with my nominated ships, go ahead!

Ships involving Obi-Wan Kenobi
There's so many duplicates here that I figured I would just lump them all together.
Obi-Wan Kenobi/Bail Organa and Obi-Wan Kenobi/Bail Organa/Breha Organa

Ships involving Obi-Wan Kenobi
There's so many duplicates here that I figured I would just lump them all together.
Obi-Wan Kenobi/Bail Organa and Obi-Wan Kenobi/Bail Organa/Breha Organa
Ship-specific DNWs
- Please don't destroy Alderaan unless Bail+Breha+Leia all survive!
- Please don't make Organa Bail's family name; it's obviously Breha's and he took her name when they got married. (This is thankfully Disney Canon now.)
- Lumping these together because they're pretty similar in terms of my prompts! In keeping with my infidelity DNW, i would very much like Breha to be aware of and approve of Obi-Wan/Bail if it doesn't include her!
- Pre-Order 66, post-Order 66, whatever takes your fancy!
- Did he and Bail get together during the war, seeking comfort during a campaign where Bail is also present for some senatorial reason?
- Do Obi-Wan and Bail have to pretend to be having a torrid affair for, idk, reasons? Or do the tabloids think they're having a torrid affair that Breha doesn't know about? Does someone come to Breha with the news that they saw Obi-Wan and Bail pashing and they thought Breha really should be informed that her husband is cheating on her? (Idk why Breha would potentially keep up the ruse that she doesn't know, but that would also be funny.)
- Do they ask him to stay on Alderaan after Order 66? How do they keep him safe?
- Do they woo him pre-Order 66? Is Obi-Wan on Alderaan for a mission or is he having a well-earned break?
- Or did Order 66 not happen at all?
- What if he stays on Alderaan after the events of Obi-Wan Kenobi? Were they together beforehand, or perhaps it was Obi-Wan/Bail during the war and now in the wake of the kidnapping etc., Breha also falls in love with him?
Obi-Wan Kenobi/Owen Lars/Beru Whitesun and Obi-Wan Kenobi (OWK)/Quinlan Vos (TCW)/Beru Whitesun (OWK)/Owen Lars (OWK)
- Local Moisture Farmers Get Visited By Jedi Master Who Is Clearly A Mess, Hands Them A Baby And Then Insists He Will Go Live In A Cave For Reasons, You Won't Believe What Happens Next
- I'm totally happy for Owen to be gruff and distrusting and not like him much at first... but then obviously he gets won over.
- "Look at him! He hasn't slept in about three years, he has the poshest fucking Core accent I've ever heard, those robes are clearly too heavy for Tatooine, and he thinks he can survive living alone in a cave? Not adopting him would be criminal! We'd be condemning him to death!" -- Beru, maybe
- Maybe instead of hating him, in this universe Owen allows him to visit Luke and Ben clearly loves Luke so so much that it seems mean to force him to live far away and only see him infrequently (there's no reason it has to be infrequent, it's just Obi-Wan being Obi-Wan).
- Perhaps Quinlan turns up and he and Obi-Wan were together in the past and it turns out the Larses are happy for him to be part of their relationship too
- Are they all involved in the Path somehow? Perhaps Beru and Owen were previously involved in the slave freedom trail, and can now put that expertise to use for Jedi?

Original Trilogy
Original Downed Rebel Pilot (OT)/Original Farmer Hiding Them From The Authorities (OT)
Original Downed Rebel Pilot (OT)/Original Farmer Hiding Them From The Authorities (OT)
- How pro-rebel is the farmer at the beginning? Does the pilot convince them, or are they already ride or die?
- Gently tending to injuries......
- Is fake dating part of the plan to hide them from the authorities?
- Is the pilot a city slicker and the farmer laughs at them as they show them around the farm?
- Does the farmer join the rebellion?
Original Jedi Survivor Who Joins the Rebellion/Original Separatist Who Also Joins the Rebellion (OT)
- How hardcore was the Separatist during the war? Do they still hate the Republic? Do they see the Empire as the logical extension of/fault of the Republic?
- How much do they associate the Jedi with everything, given the Jedi Purge happened?
- Is this enemies to lovers, or is the Separatist not hostile to the Jedi at all, to the Jedi's surprise?
- Perhaps the Jedi helped the Separatist/their family before the Separatist Crisis, so they already know each other?
- Is this a Han/Leia "loudly arguing all over the place in a way that all the spectators know they are definitely gonna kiss at some point" situation?
Overworked Rebellion Therapist/Overworked Rebellion Medic (OT)
- The Alderaanian Death Legion. Need I say more?
- Suicide of minor characters is alright here
- They probably consume a lot of alcohol, lbr.
- Does the therapist have to counsel the medic? Don't think about the ethics of this, we're so far past ethics, they died with thunderous applause.
- Is this a two desperate people find each other as something to cling to in the face of the horrifying existence they both live in, or are they genuinely in love? Did it start as one and become the other?
- How did they meet?
- I would love f/f for this but of course follow your heart.
Other
Cinta Kaz/Vel Sartha
- How did they meet?
- They're from very different worlds. How do those life experiences clash?
- Was anyone in the Aldhani gang weird about them being/getting together?
- You can write porn for this pairing if you would like!
- Sorry this section is sparse!! I promise I am excited, I am just head empty.
- I know I DNWed infidelity, but i would LOVE infidelity here. Fuck Perrin.
- Were they together at school? I can't remember if this is established in canon or not.
- Were they together at school and forced to break up because Mon was forced to marry Perrin?
- Does Tay have a wife? If not, how has he escaped the whole arranged marriage at fifteen situation?
- If they do have an affair, does Perrin find out? How does he react? Has he also been having affairs? Is having affairs the norm for Chandrilans who have arranged marriages because the arranged marriages are for political or money reasons, so while it's not exactly approved of to have affairs, no one is surprised?
- If you set this post-ANH (or post-official establishment of the Alliance), does Tay join?
- How did they meet? Presumably this is post-Andor S1, but if you want to ignore the fact that Bix is Extremely Broken by her imprisonment, feel free to just say she escaped Ferrix mumble mumble because she was suspected of Rebel activity but didn't get caught.
- If you do want to explore how Bix has been Fucked Up by her torture and imprisonment, that would also be delicious! How does Ahsoka help her recover? Does it involve Force stuff, or is it just taking care of her in mundane ways?
- Or perhaps this is post-ANH or post-ROTJ! How do both of them get used to peace, having been fucked up by war?
- If they're together during Rebels/before Rebels, how does Bix deal with Ahsoka being presumed KIA after her fight with Vader?
Ship-specific DNWs:
- Since this is C-EU, I don't want any sequel tril stuff please!
- Do they get together during Leia's year of preparation for her Challenges instead of Keir?
- Do they get together in the wake of Keir's death (or however long after for Leia to feel okay about it)?
- Leia claims that she only likes male humanoids. Whomst among us thinks this but is wrong about it age sixteen? Does she have complicated feelings about that re: her attraction to Amilyn?
- Does Amilyn join the Rebellion more officially when Leia gets properly involved or after the destruction of Alderaan?
- How do Breha and Bail get on with Amilyn?
- It's okay if Alderaan gets destroyed for this ship!
