Star Wars Rare Pair Letter

Dear Star Wars Rare Pair Creator,

Hi! Thank you so much for writing for me! I'm sure I'll love whatever you come up with.

I'm PS, and I'm The_Plaid_Slytherin on AO3.

General Stuff

Some general likes: fluff, romance, plot, PWP, domesticity, hurt/comfort, loyalty, friendship, family/found family, kid/family fic, canon-divergence/fork-in-the-road AUs, happy endings, characters taking care of/depending on each other, established relationships, getting together, unexpected relationships, quiet moments, casefic, seasonal/holiday themes, wooing/courtship, couples who work/do plot together, daemons.

When it comes to smut, my preferences are pretty vanilla. My kinks are more about circumstances than about acts: first times (including first time doing X-I love the newness and the trust in their partner, and I really like awkwardness in a first time), reunion sex, comfort sex, make-up sex, cuddling, tenderness/touching/kissing (especially hands!), teasing, sharing fantasies.

My DNWs: darkfic, graphic violence, character death, rape/non-con/dub-con, incest, underage sex, AUs that are another setting (e.g., modern times), crossovers, d/s, scat/watersports, and sad/hopeless endings.

Luke Skywalker/Han Solo

Luke and Han have a dynamic that I adored from the first time we saw them together, and I love how it evolves and strengthens over the course of the trilogy, as Luke becomes a Jedi and Han embraces the Rebellion and realizes he isn't as much of an independent rogue as he thought he was. For these two, I'm looking for an AU where it went Luke/Han instead of Leia/Hen, because I really do love Leia/Han so please no breakups/infidelity. So, what would that universe look like? I would love any moment from it that you can think of! When do they first realize/act on their feelings? Post-ANH, on that celebratory high note? In the gap between ANH and ESB? In ROTJ? ROTJ is my favorite of the movies; I love the rescuing-Han plotline (and reunion fic would make me really happy), I love the happiness of the ending, and I love calm, wise Jedi Luke. What effect does that have on Han, especially with his prior dismissal of hokey religions? Post-OT would also be awesome; I would love to see how Han and Luke fit in the new post-Empire world.

Lando Calrissian/Leia Organa

I received a lovely story about them for May the 4th and I just fell even harder for this pairing! Lando is another of my favorites and I love his character arc. Selling the rebels out on Bespin and then immediately joining them? Yes! I especially love to see him matched with Leia's take-no-crap attitude. Because here is this guy who just handed them over to Vader and Han's in carbonite - it would take a lot for her to forgive that and I'm all over Lando guilt, Lando throwing himself into working for the rebellion, all while still being his lovable roguish self and Leia just can't resist him. Just like Luke/Han, I'd prefer this in an AU without Han/Leia but beyond that, go wild! Do they get stuck in any tropey adventures between ESB and ROTJ (fake/pretend relationships, huddling for warmth, stranded somewhere, whatever you can come up with!)? Does Leia change Lando at all? And what happens to him post-ROTJ anyway? I love the idea of Lando doing what he does while Leia's trying to rebuild the government.

Lando Calrissian/Luke Skywalker

Again, I seriously love Lando. I'd love to see what kind of relationship these two could have once they get to know each other. Just like with Lando/Leia, Luke probably has some thoughts about Lando handing the rebels over to Vader, but I think he can be far more forgiving. What does Lando make of Jedi Luke? I'd love to see them being able to confide in each other in the inter-ESB-ROTJ timeline because they're both going through tremendous upheavals. How do they help each other cope? Or maybe it's not so angsty-maybe in the post-ROTJ, they just can't help themselves. Maybe Luke, still processing his thoughts about Vader, gets swept off his feet by flirty Lando while Han and Leia are off doing their own thing. I'm a sucker for stuff that deals with the fallout from ROTJ, and I would love to see Lando and Luke forging their way in the new world. Going on missions to clean up the last bits of the Empire? Figuring out how to mesh their lives together? What passes for domestic for them? And just how would Lando take the revelation of Luke's heritage?
