I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go down such different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. I’d love something sweet during any time period; what about one of the times he’s sharing his mechanical knowledge-which he got from his mother-with her? I like to think it’s his way of meditation, and that it’s how he trains her with regard to that aspect of Jedi life. Or what about after a battle, when they both need to talk or just be together? I really liked the point in her novel where she’s thinking about how he used to take care of her after battles, help her deal with the mental toll of the war. I love their banter and their pleasure in dangerous situations, so maybe a moment building on that. Or something leaning on the near-telepathic abilities the Force gives them, with regard to being able to sense each others' feelings--they might sense something and pursue the matter, or get distracted and lose control of their own feelings. Not to mention, the Force gives them more stamina, so they could last awhile. Maybe they could celebrate a victory, or just let out their mischievous/competitive side during sex/something romantic. Or they could have any of the conversations they might otherwise engage in, except during sex/something romantic. Or they could be fixing his prosthesis! While undercover in Zygerria, the queen or some other factor exposes them to sex pollen. The transference of life into Ahsoka on Mortis requires sex to seal the deal after the fact, whether once or on a regular basis. Ahsoka in that armor on Mandalore, seeming cool and collected, while Anakin’s whole soul is bared in how he looks at her...maybe he wants to take it off, or maybe he’s stripped down and she rides him while still wearing most of it, or they both just do it with their clothes on, urgent and intense.
How about an AU where one or both of them was never found by the Jedi: Anakin remains a slave, Ahsoka was successfully captured as a toddler and sold by the bounty hunter (I love that bit of her backstory for the what-if of how she nearly had another thing in common with Anakin), so they run into each other under those circumstances; only one of them goes through what’s described above, until they’re found by the Sith, while the other remains a Jedi. Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived-they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. I’d also love a Regency AU (set in space or somewhere more historical) akin to Sorcerer of the Crown by Zen Cho, with Anakin in this unstable position in society due to his origins and Ahsoka, also with a less than respectable background, swooping into his life with all her confidence and talent. Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.”

I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go down such different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. It seems to me that trying to kill Ahsoka was not in Vader’s plan-he’d wanted her alive before, and he had opportunities he didn’t take-so what would he do if he ever did find out she survived him? Especially if she never came out to try and find him. Does he try to keep her a secret? Keep on going in the face of her not coming back? If set before their encounter on Malachor: Force-visions or dreams while they’re chasing each other. Or during; what if the Sith temple has a sex pollen trap and they spring it? Maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Maybe after Anakin dies, Ahsoka decides to save him like he once saved her; ghost sex ensues. Or the ghost sex comes first and they have no idea of the result until it happens. Or it’s just plain ghost sex without resurrection. Or what if he actually survived-they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. Is he exiled or hidden in some distant world, or even in the Unknown Regions, and does she go with him or does she find him? Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” I can also see a bit of a Hades/Persephone element.

This is mostly something we see in the background, but I love it. The little flirtation, the way he seems to enjoy her teasing him, that they seem to respect each other and have common interests in the language of music-the cut scene from “Elaan of Troyius” in which he’s interested in teaching her Vulcan music theory and she suggests the song he was playing was a little more exciting than he thought; I wish it had been kept!--and that, made more expressive by merging with Kollos, he recites Byron to her about how beautiful she is! She makes him think of Byron! And he seems to be around a lot to help her after something shakes the bridge and knocks her down. They’re both these cool, professional people who are friendly and enjoy each other, with Uhura being more expressive and Spock being subtler while having his own sense of fun, and I feel like they’d be relaxed together, and open to learning all sorts of things from each other.
They don’t seem to be together in canon, at least not all the time, because it doesn’t come up the few times he gets a girl-of-the-week, but it would be cool to do something in which they were and you can do missing scenes, fic where they turn out to be together in the background of some plot while everything is the same as it happened on the show, or they get together and break up but then get back together again after the events of the show, or they pine a lot while being professional and there’s tension, with eventual resolution of this tension. Maybe some external event thrusts them together, like sex pollen, and they already had feelings so this is a delicate situation throughout/in the aftermath. Or they were already together, so it’s a different delicate situation. Or they have to huddle for warmth, and he really worries about protecting Uhura because her normal human temperature is cooler than his already and she worries about him because this is so not the environment his species adapted to, and they make each other feel better. You could also have pair Uhura with DIS-era Spock. And/or explore how their first meeting could’ve gone.

Why do I watch prequels when they hurt me? He wanted to follow her! He was going to do it and then he couldn’t. And even when they were fighting, he was so self-conscious about the beard when she caught him off-guard-it was so cute. After a whole season of her trying to help him and they started to reconnect, and him being supportive with the chess, and her punching Leland, and the big speech at the end because he wanted to watch her back personally; I am so sad.
I am willing to receive more sadness! Not bleak stuff, but the bittersweetness and hope of the ending we got. I’m also willing to receive fluff, and them trying to take care of each other. Fix-its in which they reconcile sooner, or he does go with her, a missing scene if you can find a place to put it, maybe a conversation about what their plans to go will do to their parents because holy shit. Or childhood backstory, maybe from before Michael did her thing to isolate herself from Spock for his own good; or maybe she doesn’t make that decision this time, and they can be a little happier. Frozen AU/fusion, because Michael is Elsa and Spock is Anna. I like the idea of her shaving his beard instead of him doing it himself. Maybe pon farr is a thing Michael ends up helping him with…possibly even before they can reconcile, for the angst.

I love these two, and the little stuff in the background as well as the forefront. The professionalism of them working together, where of course she’s going to face him about him letting their relationship influence where he puts her so that she’s in a lower position, his caving to her because he knows she’s right, and all the unspoken stuff underlying the interaction-and the sweet quiet moments of her trying to support him and him letting her support him, being affectionate, and then the idea that the original Spock being around both means that this Spock can continue onto the life he originally led on the Enterprise, and simultaneously means he’s going to live a different one from the start, more open to guidance from his emotions, with that benefit of hindsight.
I’d just love backstory for their relationship, missing scenes, or just future nice things going on while they’re embarking on adventures. Hanging out on New Vulcan, talking about each other’s’ families, bonding over geeky stuff, or doing plot-of-the-week stuff while exploring the galaxy with their crew.

How about an AU where one or both of them was never found by the Jedi: Anakin remains a slave, Ahsoka was successfully captured as a toddler and sold by the bounty hunter (I love that bit of her backstory for the what-if of how she nearly had another thing in common with Anakin), so they run into each other under those circumstances; only one of them goes through what’s described above, until they’re found by the Sith, while the other remains a Jedi. Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived-they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. I’d also love a Regency AU (set in space or somewhere more historical) akin to Sorcerer of the Crown by Zen Cho, with Anakin in this unstable position in society due to his origins and Ahsoka, also with a less than respectable background, swooping into his life with all her confidence and talent. Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.”

I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go down such different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. It seems to me that trying to kill Ahsoka was not in Vader’s plan-he’d wanted her alive before, and he had opportunities he didn’t take-so what would he do if he ever did find out she survived him? Especially if she never came out to try and find him. Does he try to keep her a secret? Keep on going in the face of her not coming back? If set before their encounter on Malachor: Force-visions or dreams while they’re chasing each other. Or during; what if the Sith temple has a sex pollen trap and they spring it? Maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Maybe after Anakin dies, Ahsoka decides to save him like he once saved her; ghost sex ensues. Or the ghost sex comes first and they have no idea of the result until it happens. Or it’s just plain ghost sex without resurrection. Or what if he actually survived-they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. Is he exiled or hidden in some distant world, or even in the Unknown Regions, and does she go with him or does she find him? Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” I can also see a bit of a Hades/Persephone element.

This is mostly something we see in the background, but I love it. The little flirtation, the way he seems to enjoy her teasing him, that they seem to respect each other and have common interests in the language of music-the cut scene from “Elaan of Troyius” in which he’s interested in teaching her Vulcan music theory and she suggests the song he was playing was a little more exciting than he thought; I wish it had been kept!--and that, made more expressive by merging with Kollos, he recites Byron to her about how beautiful she is! She makes him think of Byron! And he seems to be around a lot to help her after something shakes the bridge and knocks her down. They’re both these cool, professional people who are friendly and enjoy each other, with Uhura being more expressive and Spock being subtler while having his own sense of fun, and I feel like they’d be relaxed together, and open to learning all sorts of things from each other.
They don’t seem to be together in canon, at least not all the time, because it doesn’t come up the few times he gets a girl-of-the-week, but it would be cool to do something in which they were and you can do missing scenes, fic where they turn out to be together in the background of some plot while everything is the same as it happened on the show, or they get together and break up but then get back together again after the events of the show, or they pine a lot while being professional and there’s tension, with eventual resolution of this tension. Maybe some external event thrusts them together, like sex pollen, and they already had feelings so this is a delicate situation throughout/in the aftermath. Or they were already together, so it’s a different delicate situation. Or they have to huddle for warmth, and he really worries about protecting Uhura because her normal human temperature is cooler than his already and she worries about him because this is so not the environment his species adapted to, and they make each other feel better. You could also have pair Uhura with DIS-era Spock. And/or explore how their first meeting could’ve gone.

Why do I watch prequels when they hurt me? He wanted to follow her! He was going to do it and then he couldn’t. And even when they were fighting, he was so self-conscious about the beard when she caught him off-guard-it was so cute. After a whole season of her trying to help him and they started to reconnect, and him being supportive with the chess, and her punching Leland, and the big speech at the end because he wanted to watch her back personally; I am so sad.
I am willing to receive more sadness! Not bleak stuff, but the bittersweetness and hope of the ending we got. I’m also willing to receive fluff, and them trying to take care of each other. Fix-its in which they reconcile sooner, or he does go with her, a missing scene if you can find a place to put it, maybe a conversation about what their plans to go will do to their parents because holy shit. Or childhood backstory, maybe from before Michael did her thing to isolate herself from Spock for his own good; or maybe she doesn’t make that decision this time, and they can be a little happier. Frozen AU/fusion, because Michael is Elsa and Spock is Anna. I like the idea of her shaving his beard instead of him doing it himself. Maybe pon farr is a thing Michael ends up helping him with…possibly even before they can reconcile, for the angst.

I love these two, and the little stuff in the background as well as the forefront. The professionalism of them working together, where of course she’s going to face him about him letting their relationship influence where he puts her so that she’s in a lower position, his caving to her because he knows she’s right, and all the unspoken stuff underlying the interaction-and the sweet quiet moments of her trying to support him and him letting her support him, being affectionate, and then the idea that the original Spock being around both means that this Spock can continue onto the life he originally led on the Enterprise, and simultaneously means he’s going to live a different one from the start, more open to guidance from his emotions, with that benefit of hindsight.
I’d just love backstory for their relationship, missing scenes, or just future nice things going on while they’re embarking on adventures. Hanging out on New Vulcan, talking about each other’s’ families, bonding over geeky stuff, or doing plot-of-the-week stuff while exploring the galaxy with their crew.
