Dear Author,
Thank you for offering me a gift! I’m so glad you want to write for me! Please feel free to use as much or as little of this letter as you like; the prompts are only there if you want them, and if they can be of help in telling you what I think of the characters and their dynamics. Come up with your own prompts, use the freeform tags themselves as prompts—whatever would make you happiest as a writer.
Likes:
Parallels (and contrasts) between characters and their journeys are a thing for me.
I like characters looking out for each other and rescuing each other, giving care and emotional support. Especially when women are the ones receiving care and support, getting their needs made a priority by their loved ones.
Canon divergence and role reversals are loved, though I also enjoy other AUs.
Here are some more things I enjoy: fusions, vignettes, character studies, plotty stuff, angst, fluff, smut, adventure, characters talking to each other, character focus in smut, enemies to lovers, friends/lovers to enemies to lovers/friends, pining, worldbuilding, quiet character moments, bittersweet endings, happy endings, open/ambiguous endings, quiet and subtle romance, the total opposite of quiet and subtle romance—these fandoms do have a high drama quotient, psychological horror, cunnilingus, messy and complicated dynamics, blurring between obligation/need and love, fear/horror/anger mixed with desire/love, politics, isolation, competitiveness, competitive smut, limited agency, legacy, manipulation, scheming, ulterior motives for sex, Force bonds, Force shenanigans, Force Ghosts, time travel, weird worlds/dimensions, time moves differently, scars, suspense, undercover, undercover as a couple, mission fic, teaching games, compromised sense of self, interpersonal tension, duty versus desire, love/hate, possessiveness, insecurity, secret relationships, secrets, the divine as sex, using the Force for sex, choking, breathplay, bloodplay, biting, scratching, Ahsoka’s fangs, growling, blindfolding, chains, trust issues, implicit trust, emotional intimacy, casual displays of affection, shared beds, snuggling, sitting/lying in laps, jumping people, stories where the woman/women are a significant part of the man/men’s characterization, stories where the woman/women are a significant part of each other’s characterization, characters gathering each other’s backstory a little at a time, investigating each other, spying, sex and violence paired together, fucking in the same room as your enemies’ corpse, body heat sharing, loneliness, connecting to the force together mutual pining, dreams, fix-it, parallel universes, parallel universe characters, us against the world, outside pov, story/fragments of story as told in-universe
DNWs:
permanently dead female characters (where she’s not even a ghost), the concept of Anakin and Ahsoka as a father/daugher relationship, mpreg, detailed gore, detailed description of bodily fluids and excretions, watersports, scat, emetophilia, noncon (except if requested/prompted)—dubcon is fine, rape (except where specified below), a/b/o, rule 63’ing female characters, body horror, explicit torture, permanently damaging torture, maiming, mutilating, bashing of characters or ships, unrequited love (except if it's only unrequited in a characters' head), unrequested ships (though mentions are okay), stories where nobody really cares about the woman/women in the ship, focus only on m/m interactions, a story where the f/f or m/f is secondary to the m/m, AUs which don't use canon settings, underage (17+ is fine, whether you change canon ages or set things when the characters would be 17+), ageplay/infantilization, humiliation (except if requested/prompted), bestiality, Jedi Order as evil/immoral (versus deeply flawed institution, which is is good), oviposition
Caveat: Referencing something in that list which happened in canon is all right. I’d just rather not it be a main feature in the story.
A note before moving on to the requests: I’ve requested most of these ships before, a varying number of times, and in many cases I’ve brought over old prompts, with the occasional addition of something new here and there, as it came to me, or because the request is somewhat different this time. Please pay no mind to the length of the prompts; any of these fandoms and ships would make me very happy.

I really love the Mortis trilogy if you couldn’t tell! The imagery, the fact that Anakin put the goddess of light inside Ahsoka to bring her back—that his actions ensured she would be saved again in the future--that they were both influenced by the god of the dark, the way Ahsoka was influenced by a bite. So I love the idea that it gave her power she doesn’t realize she has access to in the show (though in Rebels she is at least aware of Morai saving her life).
What would that be like? What if she used it, or the access to that space outside of time and place which she has in canon, to try to change things instead of accepting them? She could come back in her own body, or possess her younger self, or get stuck in a loop/groundhog day thing. Or she could keep finding that things don’t go right, or have a Continuum-style situation where she can only change the future for other versions of herself; her own remains the same. For another time travel situation, what if she becomes his master?
Alternately: Ahsoka doesn’t come back the same after being resurrected. Maybe it’s even The Son who’s used to do it instead of The Daughter. Anakin won’t leave without her. Or they’re both affected, and they leave together, into an unsuspecting galaxy. Or Ahsoka’s stuck on a ship with an Anakin who sets out to make things the way he wants them to be, as he was about to do after his vision of the future. Maybe one or a bunch of these things can be combined with the time travel suggestions above.
Or, Ahsoka needs a little more than spiritual energy channeling through her forehead to come back to life. Or to be cured of the Son’s influence.
I recently began to associate her experience on Mortis with Dracula...she got bitten after all, which changed her behavior in ways alarming to the men with her, as well as killed her. Obi Wan wanted Anakin to free her with a phallic object! So, if that inspires you!
Maybe Palpatine finds out about her connection to Mortis and wants to capture/train her? Or he gets her after she’s found the Sith shrine under the Jedi Temple on Coruscant? That comes to mind because of the concept art of the unreleased arc, where she finds that place, goes there with Anakin, and keeps Sidious from some holocrons? Or she’s in a different situation because she was never found by the Jedi Order, which I’m about to go into.
The story revealed in both Ahsoka’s book and behind the scenes infodumps is that Ahsoka was almost taken by a bounty hunter posing as a Jedi. What if that had happened? Would she be a slave? Would she be found by the Separatists and/or the Sith, and work for their cause? Or both, and would she be freed by them or by herself, or Anakin? What if she got picked up by a Nightsister? What if she met Anakin from the opposite side, or he formed a relationship with her/decided to teach her outside of the Jedi Order’s structure? Maybe she’s the one being groomed by Palpatine, or they’re both being groomed together? What if the Jedi Order and the Republic fell, so there was no chance of either Anakin or Ahsoka getting found by them, and they rose in the Dark Side together?
What would change if it were Ahsoka instead of Obi Wan in the opening to Revenge of the Sith? Would she be able to stop Anakin from killing Dooku? What if Dooku realizes he’s been discarded by his master and runs away, with her as a hostage, or because she saved him, or both? Or she’s there on Mustafar instead of Obi Wan? Does she go alone, or through Padmé—as Obi Wan did, or would Padmé know and want her there?
What if the Republic never fell, but things were still shitty? Anakin never turns, Palpatine dies during the war, but the problems with the Republic are still problems, even if Palpatine can’t make them worse. Maybe another Sith comes to power. Ahsoka could still get framed.
Maybe, under different circumstances, Anakin chooses to leave with her. What would they do? They’re both people of action, who can never stay away from it too long, especially with their values. Would this put them in an “us against the world” frame of mind? Would Padmé take them both in? Maybe they were already together, with or without Padmé. Or they weren’t, but leaving changed that. Maybe Ahsoka still left alone, but Anakin followed later, before or after they meet again and become more physically affectionate.
There are several fairytales I like that could work here. “Beauty and the Beast” is one of them; there’s also “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” They all have the element of a heroine rescuing a corrupted/monster/mysterious person, who in the latter two stories has to be sought out by the heroine on a quest. But you could pick your own, or just invent one!
Gothic romance was one of my favorite genres as a kid and honestly I still love it. I feel like Star Wars has potential for it, with it’s brooding protagonist/villain and Ahsoka being a resilient, curious, passionate and vulnerable heroine. She gets this vision about Anakin’s darkness and her future...and what if that’s combined with her leaving Mortis with a darkened Anakin?
I haven’t even watched Pacific Rim but I love the idea of Anakin and Ahsoka being drift compatible.

Thinking about Ahsoka learning mechanical skills from Anakin, Anakin picking that up from his mother, and how he’s part robot—what if Ahsoka repairs his arm sometimes, or they repair it together? Or he keeps losing limbs and requiring more metal parts, which she helps him with; I imagine he’d be horrified and she’d be sad for him, and they’d both try to be strong for the other and take care of each other through it.
And/or maybe she finds him on Mustafar before Palpatine does, so she takes care of him while trying to run from Order 66, and is in charge of giving him his new robot parts and taking care of him? They find out all they have left is each other, and they do what they can to protect that?
Or maybe Ahsoka’s resurrection came with more overt consequences than a psychic owl familiar; maybe she has to deal with all the power of The Daughter and needs to find an anchor in Anakin, who is used to feeling and handling that kind of power?
What about a missing scene after one of their many traumatic experiences where they help each other process and deal?

What if Ahsoka did go into the past from Rebels and, trying to avoid meeting herself and anyone she was close to directly, fell into working with her old enemies by accident? Asajj finds out rather early that the Sith aren’t her future—maybe they team up, for revenge in her case and to save the galaxy in Ahsoka’s, and have to struggle with Palpatine’s plans for the galaxy along the way? Or maybe she ends up working with Dooku instead; older Ahsoka gives him a shock, being wiser and more powerful, and he ends up reconsidering his allegiance to his master? Of course, eventually her Force presence and the shenanigans do bring her to the attention of her former self and her old master…
Maybe she can’t travel back, and has to keep living as she is in order to see how she’s changed the future. Or she can, and if one or both of the other members of the ship survive to that time, they can meet again to finish what they chose to do or start a new life together, or both.
Maybe it’s Anakin who’s gone back, and he causes chaos trying to undo his personal losses—like keeping Ahsoka around—while still believing he needs to put order to the galaxy, throwing Ahsoka and his old enemies off-balance with his open embrace of the Dark Side.
Alternately, Dooku or Asajj end up going forward—perhaps in the World Between Worlds, Ahsoka looks on a scene with them and they can feel her gaze, so they investigate and she winds up pulling them through. They then find themselves adrift in a new galaxy, working with the last Jedi against the Empire they were all used to build, and more directly against an enemy Ahsoka once knew.
I also like the idea of them being stuck in loops, but the Force-sensitives being able to feel impressions of all the previous loops, which affects their dynamics and feelings for each other throughout time.
For the time dilation possibility—Star Wars has hyperspace being a normal form of travel, but what if it weren’t? What if it were something Dark Side users took advantage of more because of the convenience of the power, even with the time it cost their lives?

This is the exception to my noncon, rape, and humiliation DNWs, as mentioned in the general list.
Miraj Scintel found both Ahsoka and Anakin attractive and things could have gone differently for both of them. What if, when accepting Ahsoka as a slave, she wanted to seal the deal by enjoying them both—or she just wanted to watch—and Anakin broke their cover to protect Ahsoka, failed as in the show and things went south? Or what if Ahsoka convinced him not to break it? What if they try to pretend he’s had her for pleasure before? How long does it last before they can escape and free the other slaves? Or there’s a missing scene from the episodes where something like this happened before Ahsoka got put in the cage and they had to wait to see if the other was all right. Maybe Anakin tries to make her enjoy it, to make it less awful for her, and it only gives her—and him—more to process after it’s all done? Or Miraj makes Ahsoka ride him and he encourages her, trying to reassure her? I’m imagining a scenario where they were already attracted to each other (feel free to pretend Padmé never happened or not, as you wish.) Them both being Force-sensitive would make it even more intense—the sensations, their existing Force-bond connection, their feelings. Then there’s the part where in the show, Anakin seemed to develop sympathy for Miraj, despite his hatred of slavery and slavers—his past would seem to be relevant here, as well as perhaps the Jedi training on compassion and his ability to feel for people; how would he and Ahsoka handle that when they’re being forced into this situation and watching what’s happening to the other as well as themselves?
I’d also really love them trying to recover together, taking care of each other, trauma-bonding. Anakin tries to help Ahsoka through it, as he does after their usual battles and struggles, and Ahsoka tries to help him in turn; maybe sharing the experience brings him to talk about his past as a slave, and they become closer. What if they reclaim intimacy and the relationship and need to touch each other more in the aftermath? What if they end up feeling more comfortable being vulnerable physically and emotionally with each other as they recover?

I love that Anakin teaches Ahsoka mechanical skills and knowing that Shmi had technical skills and Anakin picked it up from her makes me love it so much more. So I’d love it if that came up sometime when he was teaching her! Especially if you think, as I do, that his mechanical work is relaxing, whereas thinking about his mother doesn’t necessarily have the same effect; unless this is one way he can do it and still be happy. Maybe he can share that with Ahsoka. Or maybe Shmi’s alive and he can bring Ahsoka home to meet her, and they all spend some time tinkering. Or! Shmi’s a Force Ghost and Ahsoka can talk to her—perhaps the Daughter can play a part here?
I love Anakin and Ahsoka both as friends and lovers, so write me whichever you wish!
For Shmi and Anakin alone, a variation on a theme: his mechanical work must make him think of his mother sometimes, and it’s interesting considering the contradiction between doing something he loves when the person who taught him died in pain in his arms.
For The Daughter and Ahsoka alone: The Daughter’s connection to Ahsoka teaches her more about the side of the Force she’s devoted herself to, and perhaps a little of the dark as well, considering she was part of a balance. Maybe Ahsoka ascends into goddesshood and dreams of the person whose life sustained—still sustains?—hers.

Ahsoka is the Sith and Anakin is on the run from the Empire. They find each other on Raada.
Ahsoka is the first Force-user Vader meets after Mustafar. She got to him before Palpatine did. Or she’s the first (not)Jedi he sees after. If she gets to him first, what if he's in a coma but they dream of each other? Or he's awake, with memory loss, but at night he dreams--and Ahsoka is the featured guest.
Darth Vader comes to Raada instead of an Inquisitor. Ahsoka has to worry about her old master, her new (not)girlfriend and family, and possibly a new pupil in Hedala while dealing with the attentions of the Sith and the Empire. Maybe he defects from Palpatine upon finding her, without regretting his choice to join the Dark Side itself, putting her in an uneasy position.
AU where Anakin is on the run too, and they meet—or he’s with her all along. He managed to keep or find Leia, and they travel together trying to raise her, maybe trying to find Luke. Maybe Kaeden’s with her. They all try to be a family on the run together.
Ahsoka and Kaeden, after Raada. Perhaps Ahsoka comes to Kaeden for healing. More than one kind.
Sith Ahsoka comes by Raada and picks up a girlfriend. She spares Miara out of mercy/for points with Kaeden.
AU where she gets to teach Hedala Fardi. Maybe the Jedi are still around in secret, or the Republic never fell, or this is something of a Kanan and Ezra situation.
There are several fairytales I like that could work here. “Beauty and the Beast” is one of them; there’s also “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” They all have the element of a heroine rescuing a corrupted/monster/mysterious person, who in the latter two stories has to be sought out by the heroine on a quest. But you could pick your own, or just invent one!
I feel like Kaeden could be the ingenue fairytale heroine here, wandering into this new world of the Jedi, the Sith, and the Force via her attraction to the mysterious Ashla.
Or Ahsoka is the Snow White-like heroine, fleeing and hiding until the Sith find her.
An older Hedala needs to go find Ahsoka, that mysterious person who only taught her a little of the Force when she was small. She dreams.

These dynamics are fraught. I love how Ahsoka passes out instantly and needs to investigate Vader, denying the truth she knows is in front of her until that moment of clarity and acceptance on Malachor. I love Vader derailing his mission with the Rebels in order to take her alive, and again on Malachor, where she gets under his skin so much he snaps into a killing rage. I love Kanan always trying to be there to catch her, reaching through time from death pick up where Anakin left off and save her through Mortis.
I really love the Mortis trilogy! The imagery, the fact that Anakin put the goddess of light inside Ahsoka to bring her back—that his actions ensured she would be saved again in the future--that they were both influenced by the god of the dark, the way Ahsoka was influenced by a bite. So I love the idea that it gave her power she doesn’t realize she has access to in the show (though in Rebels she is at least aware of Morai saving her life.)
What would that be like? What if she used it, or the access to that space outside of time and place which she has in canon, to try to change things instead of accepting them? She could come back in her own body, or possess her younger self, or get stuck in a loop/groundhog day thing. Or she could keep finding that things don’t go right, or have a Continuum-style situation where she can only change the future for other versions of herself; her own remains the same. For another time travel situation, what if she becomes his master?
Alternately: Ahsoka doesn’t come back the same after being resurrected. Maybe it’s even The Son who’s used to do it instead of The Daughter. Anakin wouldn’t leave without her. Maybe one or a bunch of these things can be combined with the time travel suggestions above.
Maybe Palpatine finds out about her connection to Mortis and wants to capture/train her? Or he gets her after she’s found the Sith shrine under the Jedi Temple on Coruscant? That comes to mind because of the concept art of the unreleased arc, where she finds that place, goes there with Anakin, and keeps Sidious from some holocrons? What if does catch her in the World Between Worlds or drags her out from there? What if Ahsoka and Anakin’s confrontation took place with Palpatine in the same room, like with Luke, and he encouraged Ahsoka to kill Vader after she brought him to his knees, or tried to hurt her in front of Anakin? Or she’s in a different situation because she was never found by the Jedi Order, which I’m about to go into.
The story revealed in both Ahsoka’s book and behind the scenes infodumps is that Ahsoka was almost taken by a bounty hunter posing as a Jedi. What if that had happened? Would she be a slave? Would she be found by the Separatists and/or the Sith, and work for their cause? Or both, and would she be freed by them or by herself, or Anakin? What if she met Anakin from the opposite side, or he formed a relationship with her/decided to teach her outside of the Jedi Order’s structure? Maybe she’s the one being groomed by Palpatine, or they’re both being groomed together? What if the Jedi Order and the Republic fell, so there was no chance of either Anakin or Ahsoka getting found by them, and they rose in the Dark Side together?
What if the Republic never fell, but things were still shitty? Anakin never turns, Palpatine dies during the war, but the problems with the Republic are still problems, even if Palpatine can’t make them worse. Maybe another Sith comes to power. Ahsoka could still get framed. They’re still picking up the pieces in this timeframe, together—or maybe not, but they still love each other.
I love the idea of Vader dreaming about her post-Malachor, thinking he killed her, all the while appearing in her dreams/visions as she explores the Sith Temple.
She investigated Mustafar; what if she’d made it into Vader’s castle while he was there, ala Belle in the West Wing in Beauty and the Beast? Or she’s caught there and explores upon her escape, instead of running away.
A reunion after Anakin’s death. Force Ghost lessons. Travelling the post-Empire galaxy together. Or maybe he lived and they’re off traveling physically—possibly the Unknown Regions—or in some Outer Rim planet, meeting sometimes with Luke (and Leia?)
Ahsoka resurrects Anakin. What if she were capable of doing him the same favor he did for her? And he had to live with what he did, without turning to the Dark Side and his Vader identity to try to justify/repress it? What would they do? Would they have to live in exile, maybe getting visits from Luke and Leia? Would they hide completely? Would he be sentenced to exile and she follow, or would she rescue him from a death sentence—legally or not? Might they head off towards the Unknown Regions?
In a scenario where the Empire never fell, what would happen to Ahsoka on Malachor? Would she eventually be found? Would she come out having turned to the Dark Side, and/or ready to take out the Sith instead of the enlightenment she appears to have found in canon? Would she be taking over if she succeeded, as Vader’s apprentice or Palpatine’s?
Ahsoka goes dark side (at any point you like) and kills Vader's Inquisitors as a flirtation method.
There are several fairytales I like that could work here. “Beauty and the Beast” is one of them; there’s also “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” They all have the element of a heroine rescuing a corrupted/monster/mysterious person, who in the latter two stories has to be sought out by the heroine on a quest. Maybe some form of “Sleeping Beauty:” Ahsoka in some sort of cryogenic sleep, hidden away where only Vader knows. But you could pick your own, or just invent one!
Gothic romance was one of my favorite genres as a kid and honestly I still love it. I feel like Star Wars has potential for it, with it’s brooding protagonist/villain and Ahsoka being a resilient, curious, passionate and vulnerable heroine.

Am I smooshing favorite characters from different canons here? Yes. Both Anakin and Ahsoka remind me of Buffy and vice versa: the compassion, emotionality, and snark with all three; the destiny and constant striving for a personal life with Anakin and Buffy; the determination to do what's right and question authority with Ahsoka and Buffy. With Angel, I think he would remind Ahsoka of Anakin and she would make him think of Buffy, on top of which they are both people who choose to do good despite realizing they are stuck in a dystopia they helped build—Ahsoka--and realizing they don’t have to win in the big picture to make the fight worth it—Angel--because they find purpose in fighting for a worthy cause, in continuously working, in doing things that are good every day. They’re also all supremely skilled fighters who like getting a good workout. And they’ve all experienced mystical dreams in one form or another: even Angel, who’s not psychic in any way, shared nightmares and sex dreams with Buffy.
To add to the comparisons, Buffy’s love Angel does turn out to be a Chosen One too, with a destiny that could have been be either the hero or the villain—you could work with how Ahsoka became the embodiment of light while he, both then and later, followed the darkness. Or you could meld it with Ahsoka’s capture on Mortis: Anakin’s the Chosen One and she’s been influenced by evil, but Ahsoka’s Ahsoka.
As for how to make it happen; I'm mostly interested in the mechanics as a way to throw the characters together, but if you want to weave the mechanics in as a part of that, I'd love that too!
Buffyverse canon includes alternate universes and dimensions, along with portals and spells designed to bring/send things from one place to the other. Star Wars has its own weird mystical worlds going on. Work with that as you will.
Another thing is, what if Buffy's resurrection that sends her over to a random universe not her own? Whether something went wrong or the powers of her universe made sure her return couldn't unbalance things--it did give the First Evil a loophole to takeover in the series. Or Ahsoka walks into this world at some point after trying to leave the World Between Worlds? You could connect the Sith Temple on Malachor to the Hellmouth. Maybe Anakin as Vader winds up trapped there when it explodes and he comes out into another world. What if when leaving Mortis, they wind up one the Hellmouth instead of where they came from? Or Wolfram & Hart want to bring over Anakin the half-Force born, or Ahsoka, with her mystical connections to the avatars of both sides of the Force (The Son and The Daughter) and to spaces not bound by the ordinary rules of nature like Mortis and the World Between Worlds. Maybe they just send Angel away and he’s trapped on Mortis or some other place strong in the Force, where he is found by Anakin and/or Ahsoka.
There's also the possibility of setting Star Wars as legitimately "long long ago." Maybe have them be ghosts --Buffy does on occasion get visions and dreams from ghosts. A Star Wars character could be frozen in carbonite/mystical sleep, found in some old temple. Or do it the other way around: the Buffyverse happens first and then, whether as a ghost or a serious case of Sleeping Beauty, Buffy makes it to the Star Wars time and galaxy in an old temple. Maybe someone’s just immortal! Buffy gets affected by her resurrection/the Slayer spell, Ahsoka gets affected by her resurrection, Angel just plain outlasts the Earth, Anakin is capable of coming back physically once he’s been a Force Ghost long enough. Or, what if they occur at the same time and in the same universe/dimension: AU Earth into the Star Wars universe, or have it be discovered during the Clone Wars.
Star Wars as an artifact of pop culture exists in the Buffyverse. I'm fine if you want to handwave that away or if you want it to remain so, however you handle it. maybe Once Upon a Time it, with there being different Realms of Story, from which Buffy characters and Star Wars characters are pulled to live in the real world. Or Jumanji it, where characters from either canon are stuck in the other and have to deal with all the rules until they get out.

Ahsoka Tano and Missy switch bodies, with the end result being that Missy becomes Empress of the galaxy with Anakin as her Enforcer, until either the Doctor and Ahsoka manage to set things right or Missy gets bored and leaves. Either way, Ahsoka comes back to a mess and her relationship with Anakin is now more complicated...I ship them, but I love their relationship in its platonic form too.

I like the idea of him becoming fixated on his grandfather’s only apprentice. It’s especially interesting to me because he’s so insistent on letting his past go while being stuck with it, while she’s very good at letting go even though she never wants to have to. Platonic or shippiness is good with me!
Maybe some form of “Sleeping Beauty”: Ahsoka in some sort of cryogenic sleep, hidden away where only Vader (or Anakin’s Force Ghost) knows. Kylo Ren—or just Ben—finds her. Maybe he’s studying his grandfather’s past, or arcane Force knowledge, such as the Mortis gods. Or he finds her through dreams. Given Ahsoka’s connection to the avatar of light, maybe she’s ascended into goddesshood by now, and she’s the light tempting him. Maybe he’s an incarnation of the Son, too. What if she can’t remember who she is once she’s with him in the flesh? Or he forgets who he is in dreams—or he has visions of an alternate past where she’s around?
What if he winds up back in time trying to learn about her and can’t leave, or tries to take her with him? Or she walks out into his time through the World Between Worlds, and gets stuck with him? Maybe he’s the one who finds the Worlds Between Worlds and plucks her from where she is, possibly when she tries to head back to Malachor, or even instead of Ezra. Does Snoke know about any of this—if set before the end of TLJ—or is she a secret? Or does she come to him after he’s gotten himself the position of Supreme Leader?
He could learn about the World Between Worlds through its connection to her, or about her through her connection to it, and in a fit of emotion try to erase his decisions only to become stuck in time, with her as his only companion.
Again, thank you so much for investing your time and effort into making me something. I hope you enjoy the process and have a great exchange experience!
Thank you for offering me a gift! I’m so glad you want to write for me! Please feel free to use as much or as little of this letter as you like; the prompts are only there if you want them, and if they can be of help in telling you what I think of the characters and their dynamics. Come up with your own prompts, use the freeform tags themselves as prompts—whatever would make you happiest as a writer.

Parallels (and contrasts) between characters and their journeys are a thing for me.
I like characters looking out for each other and rescuing each other, giving care and emotional support. Especially when women are the ones receiving care and support, getting their needs made a priority by their loved ones.
Canon divergence and role reversals are loved, though I also enjoy other AUs.
Here are some more things I enjoy: fusions, vignettes, character studies, plotty stuff, angst, fluff, smut, adventure, characters talking to each other, character focus in smut, enemies to lovers, friends/lovers to enemies to lovers/friends, pining, worldbuilding, quiet character moments, bittersweet endings, happy endings, open/ambiguous endings, quiet and subtle romance, the total opposite of quiet and subtle romance—these fandoms do have a high drama quotient, psychological horror, cunnilingus, messy and complicated dynamics, blurring between obligation/need and love, fear/horror/anger mixed with desire/love, politics, isolation, competitiveness, competitive smut, limited agency, legacy, manipulation, scheming, ulterior motives for sex, Force bonds, Force shenanigans, Force Ghosts, time travel, weird worlds/dimensions, time moves differently, scars, suspense, undercover, undercover as a couple, mission fic, teaching games, compromised sense of self, interpersonal tension, duty versus desire, love/hate, possessiveness, insecurity, secret relationships, secrets, the divine as sex, using the Force for sex, choking, breathplay, bloodplay, biting, scratching, Ahsoka’s fangs, growling, blindfolding, chains, trust issues, implicit trust, emotional intimacy, casual displays of affection, shared beds, snuggling, sitting/lying in laps, jumping people, stories where the woman/women are a significant part of the man/men’s characterization, stories where the woman/women are a significant part of each other’s characterization, characters gathering each other’s backstory a little at a time, investigating each other, spying, sex and violence paired together, fucking in the same room as your enemies’ corpse, body heat sharing, loneliness, connecting to the force together mutual pining, dreams, fix-it, parallel universes, parallel universe characters, us against the world, outside pov, story/fragments of story as told in-universe
DNWs:
permanently dead female characters (where she’s not even a ghost), the concept of Anakin and Ahsoka as a father/daugher relationship, mpreg, detailed gore, detailed description of bodily fluids and excretions, watersports, scat, emetophilia, noncon (except if requested/prompted)—dubcon is fine, rape (except where specified below), a/b/o, rule 63’ing female characters, body horror, explicit torture, permanently damaging torture, maiming, mutilating, bashing of characters or ships, unrequited love (except if it's only unrequited in a characters' head), unrequested ships (though mentions are okay), stories where nobody really cares about the woman/women in the ship, focus only on m/m interactions, a story where the f/f or m/f is secondary to the m/m, AUs which don't use canon settings, underage (17+ is fine, whether you change canon ages or set things when the characters would be 17+), ageplay/infantilization, humiliation (except if requested/prompted), bestiality, Jedi Order as evil/immoral (versus deeply flawed institution, which is is good), oviposition
Caveat: Referencing something in that list which happened in canon is all right. I’d just rather not it be a main feature in the story.
A note before moving on to the requests: I’ve requested most of these ships before, a varying number of times, and in many cases I’ve brought over old prompts, with the occasional addition of something new here and there, as it came to me, or because the request is somewhat different this time. Please pay no mind to the length of the prompts; any of these fandoms and ships would make me very happy.

I really love the Mortis trilogy if you couldn’t tell! The imagery, the fact that Anakin put the goddess of light inside Ahsoka to bring her back—that his actions ensured she would be saved again in the future--that they were both influenced by the god of the dark, the way Ahsoka was influenced by a bite. So I love the idea that it gave her power she doesn’t realize she has access to in the show (though in Rebels she is at least aware of Morai saving her life).
What would that be like? What if she used it, or the access to that space outside of time and place which she has in canon, to try to change things instead of accepting them? She could come back in her own body, or possess her younger self, or get stuck in a loop/groundhog day thing. Or she could keep finding that things don’t go right, or have a Continuum-style situation where she can only change the future for other versions of herself; her own remains the same. For another time travel situation, what if she becomes his master?
Alternately: Ahsoka doesn’t come back the same after being resurrected. Maybe it’s even The Son who’s used to do it instead of The Daughter. Anakin won’t leave without her. Or they’re both affected, and they leave together, into an unsuspecting galaxy. Or Ahsoka’s stuck on a ship with an Anakin who sets out to make things the way he wants them to be, as he was about to do after his vision of the future. Maybe one or a bunch of these things can be combined with the time travel suggestions above.
Or, Ahsoka needs a little more than spiritual energy channeling through her forehead to come back to life. Or to be cured of the Son’s influence.
I recently began to associate her experience on Mortis with Dracula...she got bitten after all, which changed her behavior in ways alarming to the men with her, as well as killed her. Obi Wan wanted Anakin to free her with a phallic object! So, if that inspires you!
Maybe Palpatine finds out about her connection to Mortis and wants to capture/train her? Or he gets her after she’s found the Sith shrine under the Jedi Temple on Coruscant? That comes to mind because of the concept art of the unreleased arc, where she finds that place, goes there with Anakin, and keeps Sidious from some holocrons? Or she’s in a different situation because she was never found by the Jedi Order, which I’m about to go into.
The story revealed in both Ahsoka’s book and behind the scenes infodumps is that Ahsoka was almost taken by a bounty hunter posing as a Jedi. What if that had happened? Would she be a slave? Would she be found by the Separatists and/or the Sith, and work for their cause? Or both, and would she be freed by them or by herself, or Anakin? What if she got picked up by a Nightsister? What if she met Anakin from the opposite side, or he formed a relationship with her/decided to teach her outside of the Jedi Order’s structure? Maybe she’s the one being groomed by Palpatine, or they’re both being groomed together? What if the Jedi Order and the Republic fell, so there was no chance of either Anakin or Ahsoka getting found by them, and they rose in the Dark Side together?
What would change if it were Ahsoka instead of Obi Wan in the opening to Revenge of the Sith? Would she be able to stop Anakin from killing Dooku? What if Dooku realizes he’s been discarded by his master and runs away, with her as a hostage, or because she saved him, or both? Or she’s there on Mustafar instead of Obi Wan? Does she go alone, or through Padmé—as Obi Wan did, or would Padmé know and want her there?
What if the Republic never fell, but things were still shitty? Anakin never turns, Palpatine dies during the war, but the problems with the Republic are still problems, even if Palpatine can’t make them worse. Maybe another Sith comes to power. Ahsoka could still get framed.
Maybe, under different circumstances, Anakin chooses to leave with her. What would they do? They’re both people of action, who can never stay away from it too long, especially with their values. Would this put them in an “us against the world” frame of mind? Would Padmé take them both in? Maybe they were already together, with or without Padmé. Or they weren’t, but leaving changed that. Maybe Ahsoka still left alone, but Anakin followed later, before or after they meet again and become more physically affectionate.
There are several fairytales I like that could work here. “Beauty and the Beast” is one of them; there’s also “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” They all have the element of a heroine rescuing a corrupted/monster/mysterious person, who in the latter two stories has to be sought out by the heroine on a quest. But you could pick your own, or just invent one!
Gothic romance was one of my favorite genres as a kid and honestly I still love it. I feel like Star Wars has potential for it, with it’s brooding protagonist/villain and Ahsoka being a resilient, curious, passionate and vulnerable heroine. She gets this vision about Anakin’s darkness and her future...and what if that’s combined with her leaving Mortis with a darkened Anakin?
I haven’t even watched Pacific Rim but I love the idea of Anakin and Ahsoka being drift compatible.

Thinking about Ahsoka learning mechanical skills from Anakin, Anakin picking that up from his mother, and how he’s part robot—what if Ahsoka repairs his arm sometimes, or they repair it together? Or he keeps losing limbs and requiring more metal parts, which she helps him with; I imagine he’d be horrified and she’d be sad for him, and they’d both try to be strong for the other and take care of each other through it.
And/or maybe she finds him on Mustafar before Palpatine does, so she takes care of him while trying to run from Order 66, and is in charge of giving him his new robot parts and taking care of him? They find out all they have left is each other, and they do what they can to protect that?
Or maybe Ahsoka’s resurrection came with more overt consequences than a psychic owl familiar; maybe she has to deal with all the power of The Daughter and needs to find an anchor in Anakin, who is used to feeling and handling that kind of power?
What about a missing scene after one of their many traumatic experiences where they help each other process and deal?

What if Ahsoka did go into the past from Rebels and, trying to avoid meeting herself and anyone she was close to directly, fell into working with her old enemies by accident? Asajj finds out rather early that the Sith aren’t her future—maybe they team up, for revenge in her case and to save the galaxy in Ahsoka’s, and have to struggle with Palpatine’s plans for the galaxy along the way? Or maybe she ends up working with Dooku instead; older Ahsoka gives him a shock, being wiser and more powerful, and he ends up reconsidering his allegiance to his master? Of course, eventually her Force presence and the shenanigans do bring her to the attention of her former self and her old master…
Maybe she can’t travel back, and has to keep living as she is in order to see how she’s changed the future. Or she can, and if one or both of the other members of the ship survive to that time, they can meet again to finish what they chose to do or start a new life together, or both.
Maybe it’s Anakin who’s gone back, and he causes chaos trying to undo his personal losses—like keeping Ahsoka around—while still believing he needs to put order to the galaxy, throwing Ahsoka and his old enemies off-balance with his open embrace of the Dark Side.
Alternately, Dooku or Asajj end up going forward—perhaps in the World Between Worlds, Ahsoka looks on a scene with them and they can feel her gaze, so they investigate and she winds up pulling them through. They then find themselves adrift in a new galaxy, working with the last Jedi against the Empire they were all used to build, and more directly against an enemy Ahsoka once knew.
I also like the idea of them being stuck in loops, but the Force-sensitives being able to feel impressions of all the previous loops, which affects their dynamics and feelings for each other throughout time.
For the time dilation possibility—Star Wars has hyperspace being a normal form of travel, but what if it weren’t? What if it were something Dark Side users took advantage of more because of the convenience of the power, even with the time it cost their lives?

This is the exception to my noncon, rape, and humiliation DNWs, as mentioned in the general list.
Miraj Scintel found both Ahsoka and Anakin attractive and things could have gone differently for both of them. What if, when accepting Ahsoka as a slave, she wanted to seal the deal by enjoying them both—or she just wanted to watch—and Anakin broke their cover to protect Ahsoka, failed as in the show and things went south? Or what if Ahsoka convinced him not to break it? What if they try to pretend he’s had her for pleasure before? How long does it last before they can escape and free the other slaves? Or there’s a missing scene from the episodes where something like this happened before Ahsoka got put in the cage and they had to wait to see if the other was all right. Maybe Anakin tries to make her enjoy it, to make it less awful for her, and it only gives her—and him—more to process after it’s all done? Or Miraj makes Ahsoka ride him and he encourages her, trying to reassure her? I’m imagining a scenario where they were already attracted to each other (feel free to pretend Padmé never happened or not, as you wish.) Them both being Force-sensitive would make it even more intense—the sensations, their existing Force-bond connection, their feelings. Then there’s the part where in the show, Anakin seemed to develop sympathy for Miraj, despite his hatred of slavery and slavers—his past would seem to be relevant here, as well as perhaps the Jedi training on compassion and his ability to feel for people; how would he and Ahsoka handle that when they’re being forced into this situation and watching what’s happening to the other as well as themselves?
I’d also really love them trying to recover together, taking care of each other, trauma-bonding. Anakin tries to help Ahsoka through it, as he does after their usual battles and struggles, and Ahsoka tries to help him in turn; maybe sharing the experience brings him to talk about his past as a slave, and they become closer. What if they reclaim intimacy and the relationship and need to touch each other more in the aftermath? What if they end up feeling more comfortable being vulnerable physically and emotionally with each other as they recover?

I love that Anakin teaches Ahsoka mechanical skills and knowing that Shmi had technical skills and Anakin picked it up from her makes me love it so much more. So I’d love it if that came up sometime when he was teaching her! Especially if you think, as I do, that his mechanical work is relaxing, whereas thinking about his mother doesn’t necessarily have the same effect; unless this is one way he can do it and still be happy. Maybe he can share that with Ahsoka. Or maybe Shmi’s alive and he can bring Ahsoka home to meet her, and they all spend some time tinkering. Or! Shmi’s a Force Ghost and Ahsoka can talk to her—perhaps the Daughter can play a part here?
I love Anakin and Ahsoka both as friends and lovers, so write me whichever you wish!
For Shmi and Anakin alone, a variation on a theme: his mechanical work must make him think of his mother sometimes, and it’s interesting considering the contradiction between doing something he loves when the person who taught him died in pain in his arms.
For The Daughter and Ahsoka alone: The Daughter’s connection to Ahsoka teaches her more about the side of the Force she’s devoted herself to, and perhaps a little of the dark as well, considering she was part of a balance. Maybe Ahsoka ascends into goddesshood and dreams of the person whose life sustained—still sustains?—hers.

Ahsoka is the Sith and Anakin is on the run from the Empire. They find each other on Raada.
Ahsoka is the first Force-user Vader meets after Mustafar. She got to him before Palpatine did. Or she’s the first (not)Jedi he sees after. If she gets to him first, what if he's in a coma but they dream of each other? Or he's awake, with memory loss, but at night he dreams--and Ahsoka is the featured guest.
Darth Vader comes to Raada instead of an Inquisitor. Ahsoka has to worry about her old master, her new (not)girlfriend and family, and possibly a new pupil in Hedala while dealing with the attentions of the Sith and the Empire. Maybe he defects from Palpatine upon finding her, without regretting his choice to join the Dark Side itself, putting her in an uneasy position.
AU where Anakin is on the run too, and they meet—or he’s with her all along. He managed to keep or find Leia, and they travel together trying to raise her, maybe trying to find Luke. Maybe Kaeden’s with her. They all try to be a family on the run together.
Ahsoka and Kaeden, after Raada. Perhaps Ahsoka comes to Kaeden for healing. More than one kind.
Sith Ahsoka comes by Raada and picks up a girlfriend. She spares Miara out of mercy/for points with Kaeden.
AU where she gets to teach Hedala Fardi. Maybe the Jedi are still around in secret, or the Republic never fell, or this is something of a Kanan and Ezra situation.
There are several fairytales I like that could work here. “Beauty and the Beast” is one of them; there’s also “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” They all have the element of a heroine rescuing a corrupted/monster/mysterious person, who in the latter two stories has to be sought out by the heroine on a quest. But you could pick your own, or just invent one!
I feel like Kaeden could be the ingenue fairytale heroine here, wandering into this new world of the Jedi, the Sith, and the Force via her attraction to the mysterious Ashla.
Or Ahsoka is the Snow White-like heroine, fleeing and hiding until the Sith find her.
An older Hedala needs to go find Ahsoka, that mysterious person who only taught her a little of the Force when she was small. She dreams.

These dynamics are fraught. I love how Ahsoka passes out instantly and needs to investigate Vader, denying the truth she knows is in front of her until that moment of clarity and acceptance on Malachor. I love Vader derailing his mission with the Rebels in order to take her alive, and again on Malachor, where she gets under his skin so much he snaps into a killing rage. I love Kanan always trying to be there to catch her, reaching through time from death pick up where Anakin left off and save her through Mortis.
I really love the Mortis trilogy! The imagery, the fact that Anakin put the goddess of light inside Ahsoka to bring her back—that his actions ensured she would be saved again in the future--that they were both influenced by the god of the dark, the way Ahsoka was influenced by a bite. So I love the idea that it gave her power she doesn’t realize she has access to in the show (though in Rebels she is at least aware of Morai saving her life.)
What would that be like? What if she used it, or the access to that space outside of time and place which she has in canon, to try to change things instead of accepting them? She could come back in her own body, or possess her younger self, or get stuck in a loop/groundhog day thing. Or she could keep finding that things don’t go right, or have a Continuum-style situation where she can only change the future for other versions of herself; her own remains the same. For another time travel situation, what if she becomes his master?
Alternately: Ahsoka doesn’t come back the same after being resurrected. Maybe it’s even The Son who’s used to do it instead of The Daughter. Anakin wouldn’t leave without her. Maybe one or a bunch of these things can be combined with the time travel suggestions above.
Maybe Palpatine finds out about her connection to Mortis and wants to capture/train her? Or he gets her after she’s found the Sith shrine under the Jedi Temple on Coruscant? That comes to mind because of the concept art of the unreleased arc, where she finds that place, goes there with Anakin, and keeps Sidious from some holocrons? What if does catch her in the World Between Worlds or drags her out from there? What if Ahsoka and Anakin’s confrontation took place with Palpatine in the same room, like with Luke, and he encouraged Ahsoka to kill Vader after she brought him to his knees, or tried to hurt her in front of Anakin? Or she’s in a different situation because she was never found by the Jedi Order, which I’m about to go into.
The story revealed in both Ahsoka’s book and behind the scenes infodumps is that Ahsoka was almost taken by a bounty hunter posing as a Jedi. What if that had happened? Would she be a slave? Would she be found by the Separatists and/or the Sith, and work for their cause? Or both, and would she be freed by them or by herself, or Anakin? What if she met Anakin from the opposite side, or he formed a relationship with her/decided to teach her outside of the Jedi Order’s structure? Maybe she’s the one being groomed by Palpatine, or they’re both being groomed together? What if the Jedi Order and the Republic fell, so there was no chance of either Anakin or Ahsoka getting found by them, and they rose in the Dark Side together?
What if the Republic never fell, but things were still shitty? Anakin never turns, Palpatine dies during the war, but the problems with the Republic are still problems, even if Palpatine can’t make them worse. Maybe another Sith comes to power. Ahsoka could still get framed. They’re still picking up the pieces in this timeframe, together—or maybe not, but they still love each other.
I love the idea of Vader dreaming about her post-Malachor, thinking he killed her, all the while appearing in her dreams/visions as she explores the Sith Temple.
She investigated Mustafar; what if she’d made it into Vader’s castle while he was there, ala Belle in the West Wing in Beauty and the Beast? Or she’s caught there and explores upon her escape, instead of running away.
A reunion after Anakin’s death. Force Ghost lessons. Travelling the post-Empire galaxy together. Or maybe he lived and they’re off traveling physically—possibly the Unknown Regions—or in some Outer Rim planet, meeting sometimes with Luke (and Leia?)
Ahsoka resurrects Anakin. What if she were capable of doing him the same favor he did for her? And he had to live with what he did, without turning to the Dark Side and his Vader identity to try to justify/repress it? What would they do? Would they have to live in exile, maybe getting visits from Luke and Leia? Would they hide completely? Would he be sentenced to exile and she follow, or would she rescue him from a death sentence—legally or not? Might they head off towards the Unknown Regions?
In a scenario where the Empire never fell, what would happen to Ahsoka on Malachor? Would she eventually be found? Would she come out having turned to the Dark Side, and/or ready to take out the Sith instead of the enlightenment she appears to have found in canon? Would she be taking over if she succeeded, as Vader’s apprentice or Palpatine’s?
Ahsoka goes dark side (at any point you like) and kills Vader's Inquisitors as a flirtation method.
There are several fairytales I like that could work here. “Beauty and the Beast” is one of them; there’s also “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” They all have the element of a heroine rescuing a corrupted/monster/mysterious person, who in the latter two stories has to be sought out by the heroine on a quest. Maybe some form of “Sleeping Beauty:” Ahsoka in some sort of cryogenic sleep, hidden away where only Vader knows. But you could pick your own, or just invent one!
Gothic romance was one of my favorite genres as a kid and honestly I still love it. I feel like Star Wars has potential for it, with it’s brooding protagonist/villain and Ahsoka being a resilient, curious, passionate and vulnerable heroine.

Am I smooshing favorite characters from different canons here? Yes. Both Anakin and Ahsoka remind me of Buffy and vice versa: the compassion, emotionality, and snark with all three; the destiny and constant striving for a personal life with Anakin and Buffy; the determination to do what's right and question authority with Ahsoka and Buffy. With Angel, I think he would remind Ahsoka of Anakin and she would make him think of Buffy, on top of which they are both people who choose to do good despite realizing they are stuck in a dystopia they helped build—Ahsoka--and realizing they don’t have to win in the big picture to make the fight worth it—Angel--because they find purpose in fighting for a worthy cause, in continuously working, in doing things that are good every day. They’re also all supremely skilled fighters who like getting a good workout. And they’ve all experienced mystical dreams in one form or another: even Angel, who’s not psychic in any way, shared nightmares and sex dreams with Buffy.
To add to the comparisons, Buffy’s love Angel does turn out to be a Chosen One too, with a destiny that could have been be either the hero or the villain—you could work with how Ahsoka became the embodiment of light while he, both then and later, followed the darkness. Or you could meld it with Ahsoka’s capture on Mortis: Anakin’s the Chosen One and she’s been influenced by evil, but Ahsoka’s Ahsoka.
As for how to make it happen; I'm mostly interested in the mechanics as a way to throw the characters together, but if you want to weave the mechanics in as a part of that, I'd love that too!
Buffyverse canon includes alternate universes and dimensions, along with portals and spells designed to bring/send things from one place to the other. Star Wars has its own weird mystical worlds going on. Work with that as you will.
Another thing is, what if Buffy's resurrection that sends her over to a random universe not her own? Whether something went wrong or the powers of her universe made sure her return couldn't unbalance things--it did give the First Evil a loophole to takeover in the series. Or Ahsoka walks into this world at some point after trying to leave the World Between Worlds? You could connect the Sith Temple on Malachor to the Hellmouth. Maybe Anakin as Vader winds up trapped there when it explodes and he comes out into another world. What if when leaving Mortis, they wind up one the Hellmouth instead of where they came from? Or Wolfram & Hart want to bring over Anakin the half-Force born, or Ahsoka, with her mystical connections to the avatars of both sides of the Force (The Son and The Daughter) and to spaces not bound by the ordinary rules of nature like Mortis and the World Between Worlds. Maybe they just send Angel away and he’s trapped on Mortis or some other place strong in the Force, where he is found by Anakin and/or Ahsoka.
There's also the possibility of setting Star Wars as legitimately "long long ago." Maybe have them be ghosts --Buffy does on occasion get visions and dreams from ghosts. A Star Wars character could be frozen in carbonite/mystical sleep, found in some old temple. Or do it the other way around: the Buffyverse happens first and then, whether as a ghost or a serious case of Sleeping Beauty, Buffy makes it to the Star Wars time and galaxy in an old temple. Maybe someone’s just immortal! Buffy gets affected by her resurrection/the Slayer spell, Ahsoka gets affected by her resurrection, Angel just plain outlasts the Earth, Anakin is capable of coming back physically once he’s been a Force Ghost long enough. Or, what if they occur at the same time and in the same universe/dimension: AU Earth into the Star Wars universe, or have it be discovered during the Clone Wars.
Star Wars as an artifact of pop culture exists in the Buffyverse. I'm fine if you want to handwave that away or if you want it to remain so, however you handle it. maybe Once Upon a Time it, with there being different Realms of Story, from which Buffy characters and Star Wars characters are pulled to live in the real world. Or Jumanji it, where characters from either canon are stuck in the other and have to deal with all the rules until they get out.

Ahsoka Tano and Missy switch bodies, with the end result being that Missy becomes Empress of the galaxy with Anakin as her Enforcer, until either the Doctor and Ahsoka manage to set things right or Missy gets bored and leaves. Either way, Ahsoka comes back to a mess and her relationship with Anakin is now more complicated...I ship them, but I love their relationship in its platonic form too.

I like the idea of him becoming fixated on his grandfather’s only apprentice. It’s especially interesting to me because he’s so insistent on letting his past go while being stuck with it, while she’s very good at letting go even though she never wants to have to. Platonic or shippiness is good with me!
Maybe some form of “Sleeping Beauty”: Ahsoka in some sort of cryogenic sleep, hidden away where only Vader (or Anakin’s Force Ghost) knows. Kylo Ren—or just Ben—finds her. Maybe he’s studying his grandfather’s past, or arcane Force knowledge, such as the Mortis gods. Or he finds her through dreams. Given Ahsoka’s connection to the avatar of light, maybe she’s ascended into goddesshood by now, and she’s the light tempting him. Maybe he’s an incarnation of the Son, too. What if she can’t remember who she is once she’s with him in the flesh? Or he forgets who he is in dreams—or he has visions of an alternate past where she’s around?
What if he winds up back in time trying to learn about her and can’t leave, or tries to take her with him? Or she walks out into his time through the World Between Worlds, and gets stuck with him? Maybe he’s the one who finds the Worlds Between Worlds and plucks her from where she is, possibly when she tries to head back to Malachor, or even instead of Ezra. Does Snoke know about any of this—if set before the end of TLJ—or is she a secret? Or does she come to him after he’s gotten himself the position of Supreme Leader?
He could learn about the World Between Worlds through its connection to her, or about her through her connection to it, and in a fit of emotion try to erase his decisions only to become stuck in time, with her as his only companion.
Again, thank you so much for investing your time and effort into making me something. I hope you enjoy the process and have a great exchange experience!
