Edited: I'm sorry for this lateness. It's not complete yet but most of the fandoms have prompts for most of the ships. Some are longer than others, but please don't worry about that; it's more that I've copy-pasted from different exchange letters than a lack of desire for any of my requests.

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, ghosts, ghost sex, feeling each others sensations during sex, IF/interactive fiction, poetry
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, m/m outside of m/m/f ships, 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, monster sex, tentacle sex
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.

Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars), Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down 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. 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. 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.”
Barriss Offee/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
Much as with the above, I love the tensions here, and how when Ahsoka’s faith was shaken with even Anakin not living up to her expectations—in not being the one to break her out—she was still willing to risk talking to Barriss, and it hurt him to admit she wouldn’t talk to him; how Barriss knew Ahsoka would think Anakin had been the one to do it and would trust him only to feel disappointed; how when Anakin brings Barriss in and he’s happy, but Ahsoka is clearly distraught, and how all their hearts are broken by the end. Out of all of them, Barriss was the one to first express her dissatisfaction with the Jedi in a decisive and decidedly dramatic manner. She was also the first to choose to fall to the Dark Side in reaction to that, betraying Ahsoka and changing her world forever, just as Anakin would later do on a larger scale; meanwhile Ahsoka herself reacted to her dissatisfaction by staying with the Light Side. I’d love to see the fallout of the season five finale; perhaps Ahsoka tries to talk to Barriss before she goes and Anakin reacts, or he talks to Barriss himself, or Barriss somehow gets free and they all end up having a fraught reunion. Or as above, Anakin finds out the other two will encounter each other and tries to help, only to have things get more complicated than he expected.
Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano/Asajj Ventress (Clone Wars)
I love the potential for tension here, especially given their dynamic in the season five finale episodes. Ahsoka warily depending on Ventress, Anakin being very unhappy as he told Asajj she was the only one Ahsoka had talked to and depending on her nevertheless, Asajj identifying with Ahsoka to Anakin’s shock. It’d be really fun to see this followed through as part of the arc’s impact, with Ahsoka perhaps meeting up with Ventress again and them running into Anakin in Coruscant’s underworld, or as part of a mission he ends up involved in without their knowledge—or maybe he finds out they’re working together and in his determination to meddle, gets more than he bargained for.
Dooku/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
I enjoy how The Clone Wars parallels the Dooku/Asajj and Anakin/Ahsoka master/apprentice relationships, and how in the end Asajj conveys Ahsoka’s disappointment to Anakin when she puts herself in Ahsoka’s place. What about something set post season five, with the attendant friction, putting these three in the same place? Maybe Dooku could be manipulative and play off the tensions in Anakin and Ahsoka’s relationship, or have some grudging but genuine respect for Ahsoka’s choice to leave and that messes with Anakin—or how about both? What if it was Ahsoka who came to rescue Palpatine with Anakin instead of Obi-Wan (who could’ve stayed on Mandalore to deal with Maul) and stopped Anakin from killing Dooku, so he had to take him in instead? Dramatic shenagigans and tense conversations ensue. Or Dooku managed to get away after this and took Ahsoka for leverage, with Anakin in pursuit, and very tense and dramatic things happened between all of them? Or earlier, when Dooku came in to check up on Miraj, he and Ahsoka had to team up because they didn’t like what Miraj was doing with Anakin, for differing reasons, and shenanigans?
Miraj Scintel/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
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?
Dooku/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
What if Ahsoka went 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? 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…Alternately, Dooku ends up going forward—perhaps in the World Between Worlds, Ahsoka looks on a scene with him and they can feel her gaze, so they investigate and she winds up pulling him 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.
The Daughter | Winged Goddess/Ahsoka Tano
The transfusion of life from The Daughter could be fun to play with. Maybe Ahsoka becomes immortal. Maybe she has to outlive everyone she ever comes to know, and not just because they all got killed in the various wars going on. Or she ascends into godhood the more enlightened she becomes, with her own power and experience melded with The Daughter’s, and there comes to be a temple with her image somewhere.
Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
I love these three together. They’re so alike, restricted by the lives their responsibilities demand but with a fire inside, and so open to love. They seem very close even in the early seasons; when Padmé needs a Jedi around, it’s not always Anakin because sometimes it’s Ahsoka; when Ahsoka needs a teacher, sometimes it’s Padmé; when Anakin needs someone to watch his back and be sensitive to his emotional state, sometimes it’s one and sometimes it’s the other; they each have their own relationship with both of the others. I see them as an equal triangle, or a V-relationship with Anakin at the center. I’d love to see a moment where Anakin and Padmé welcome Ahsoka into their relationship, or perhaps something after they’re all established together. It was wonderful to see the other two were working in sync to save Ahsoka when she was framed; what if they both try to get her back to them later, even if not to the Jedi? Padmé could try to persuade her, and they could go down a process of accepting and figuring out a new life in which Ahsoka is not Anakin’s Padawan but they’re all still together, perhaps closer than ever. Or maybe it’s Obi-Wan who stays on Mandalore to handle Maul, Ahsoka goes with Anakin, and they all pull together during Revenge of the Sith. Or Padmé lives, and she and Ahsoka have a bittersweet reunion with Anakin as Vader, or post-Vader.
Ahsoka Tano/Asajj Ventress (Clone Wars)
They start out in one place and end up in quite another, betrayed and eventually losing all their kind to the war and the Sith. They both turn to the underworld to cope: Ahsoka goes a little more criminal as a smuggler, even if she still does good deeds, and Asajj is willing to show mercy instead of just ruthlessly going after the money as a bounty hunter. I love how Asajj sees herself in Ahsoka, despite their former status as enemies, and Ahsoka being willing to plead her case. Their partnership is one of convenience, but they’re open to the idea that there’s more going on with the other than they thought. What if for some reason Ahsoka did stay with the Jedi, at least long enough to try to help Asajj out with them, or one of them sought the other out after she left? Maybe they run into each other on separate missions, or team up for one, and it leads to more reevaluation of where they stand? I could see Asajj occasionally helping Ahsoka out when it comes to protecting children from the Sith.

Star Wars: Rebels
Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader (SW: Rebels) Ahsoka Tano & Darth Vader (SW: Rebels) Ahsoka Tano/Sabine Wren (Star Wars Rebels) Hera Syndulla/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels) Kanan Jarrus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels) Bo-Katan Kryze/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels) Aleksandr Kallus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels) Saw Gerrera/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels) Ezra Bridger/Kanan Jarrus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels) Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader (SW: Rebels), Ahsoka Tano & Darth Vader (SW: Rebels)
I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down 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? 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. 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.
Ahsoka Tano/Sabine Wren (Star Wars Rebels)
What if instead of Sabine finding the Ghost crew, Ahsoka picked up this demolitions expert for the Rebellion? Sabine has this guilt over her part in giving the Empire resources, and Ahsoka is aware of her own unknowing complicity during the Clone Wars in the rise of the Empire. That could be interesting to explore! Or, if Ahsoka is a goddess, maybe the prompt mentioned above with art in which Ahsoka is depicted in connection to the Daughter can be an element in a story with this relationship.
Hera Syndulla/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
These two know how to dedicate themselves to a cause. They throw themselves into it, while clinging to what relationships they can. It seems they’ve been meeting for a long time before Ahsoka is revealed to the rest of the crew; how did that relationship develop? Who found who first? Did they engage in a secret adventure where neither knew the other’s face at first? Maybe Ahsoka is Hera’s resident not-Jedi—or as close as she can be to that while still doing her job as spymaster. Or just her first not-Jedi. I like Kanan; it’s fine if you want to keep him around, and/or put all three of them together. I’m also good if it’s set after his death and Ahsoka settles down with Hera, or they keep having space adventures, or go after Ezra with Sabine. I didn’t request Sabine with them, but she’s awesome and I wouldn’t mind if you added her to this and made a poly ship.
Kanan Jarrus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
We don’t get to see much of them together, but I love the dynamic of this former Jedi who still behaves like one and this reluctant Jedi who’s coming back to it again—I’d love to see them coming back to themselves together. I loved the little moments of care, when Kanan would catch her as she fainted or want to go back for her as she protected them from the Inquisitors; how while they were both willing to let the other die in order to protect Ezra, regretting the loss of her drove his will into surviving long enough to go back in time to save her. I feel there’s a mutual respect there, and perhaps a bit of awe on Kanan’s part. I’d love a scene of them reminiscing about something, or doing a Jedi thing they used to do with their masters together. Or what if they’d run into each other soon after Order 66, when they were both lost and trying so hard not to be themselves, losing their old identities?
Bo-Katan Kryze/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Aleksandr Kallus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Sometime after Endor and before the epilogue, Kallus meets the first Fulcrum. Alternately, she makes it out of Malachor and takes him under her wing. Or she’s on the Empire’s side, and he’s her contact. Or she’s on the Empire’s side, he’s a Rebel, and she’s onto him.
Saw Gerrera/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Saw Guerrera and Ahsoka remain in contact as they resist the Empire. Ahsoka doesn’t join with Bail Organa, or she does but she leaves, following her instinct to take action over the things she believes about extreme behavior—how would she cope with that in light of what Barriss Offee did to her, and her own conclusion in canon that it was wrong but done for the right reasons? Is it possible Ezra, who has times when he leans towards extremes, could have followed her into that? What would Kanan do about it?
Ezra Bridger/Kanan Jarrus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Instead of meeting Maul or Vader right off, they spend some time in the haunted ruins of Malachor and its temple. They find time for a training session on a suitably distant world.
Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Ahsoka as Fulcrum plays cat and mouse games with Thrawn. Ahsoka has to have fucked up Thrawn’s plans during her decade and a half time as the Rebellion’s spymaster. They wouldn’t have met face to face then in canon, but what if they had? Maybe for a brief moment, they are trapped together and have something almost resembling a civil conversation. Or what if she’d been on the Empire’s side, and he had to deal with her (plus Vader?) when trying to deal with Kanan and Ezra? What I like best about Thrawn in Rebels is his villain’s admiration for Hera and Sabine over Ezra and Kanan; might be in part because they’re not Jedi, but I enjoy him being drawn to the women, and I think it was a shame he only appeared after Ahsoka was gone. So if you want to play with that!

Kaeden Larte/Ahsoka Tano (SW Ahsoka)
These two are wonderful! I love Kaeden being so welcoming and instantly attracted to Ahsoka, with Ahsoka reciprocating the attention without really being aware of it and being this mystery woman with a past. I love Ahsoka coming back and finding her purpose again, after all her grief, through letting herself get attached, find connections to being alive through caring for these people. Kaeden joins a medical ship for the Rebellion—what if they meet again because Ahsoka needs treatment and winds up there? Or maybe she needs to get some intelligence out to them, and there’s no one else to deliver it, or she chooses to come in person because Kaeden is there? What if they’re both trying to find a new role after the war is over, and they decide to try it together?
Kaeden Larte/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano ( SW Ahsoka)
Ahsoka loves them both a lot. I love her missing Anakin and I love how meeting Kaeden is part of her regaining the sense of purpose and belonging she lost when she left him. I’d love some AU where Anakin is on the run too and they welcome him into their relationship, or perhaps Anakin was with Ahsoka when she hid on Raada. Or perhaps not, and Vader goes there knowing he’ll find Ahsoka, and Ahsoka has to juggle the safety of Kaeden and her newfound friends with the need to go see him and figure things out; she’s already the mystery woman who’s friendly but keeps at a certain distance due to her past, and such a situation would only amplify that.
Kaeden Larte/Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader (SW Ahsoka)
Hedala Fardi & Ahsoka Tano (Ahsoka – Johnston)
Hedala has to leave her family to be safe, and Ahsoka goes on the run with her. Hedala has time to learn a little more in some play sessions before Ahsoka leaves.

Achilles (Greek and Roman Mythology)/Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars)
They’re both so resilient and brave and snarky. They are both lost to themselves and to the world sometimes, but they persist in living and eventually finding meaning and purpose in their fight again. They’re unconventional and independent and caring and that’s what saves them, and what makes them good leaders who inspire others and connect to them in terrible circumstances. Fuse their universes, have one of them visit the other in a dream—they’re both psychic that way—or have some portal shenanigans with the Force/Hellmouth. Maybe one of them is stuck in a temple via cryogenics or a spell and the other finds them in the ruins. Or, they run into each other when Buffy’s in that trap that turns homeless Earth people into slave labor; maybe in this case it’s actually something like the hunting game Ahsoka got caught in during The Clone Wars, and this time they’re trapped together! Escaping and bonding ensues.
Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Two destined heroes, unconventional within their context and struggling to balance their duties with their personal desires, capable of deep love, and hellishly dangerous in battle. A slight tendency to brood and cut themselves off because they are the One and nobody else can do what they can do. Then, they both experience the depression of having to keep living when they thought their life was over, they were done, and it would have come as a relief to be dead. Fuse their universes, have one of them visit the other in a dream—they’re both psychic that way—or have some portal shenanigans with the Force/Hellmouth. Maybe one of them is stuck in a temple via cryogenics or a spell and the other finds them in the ruins. Or, they run into each other when Buffy’s in that trap that turns homeless Earth people into slave labor; maybe she ends up on Tatooine instead, or he and/or Shmi got taken there at some point from Tatooine, and they escape together. Then they bond!
Missy (Doctor Who 2005)/Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars), Missy & Twelfth Doctor (Doctor Who 2005) & Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars)
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. Idea taken with permission from selenak on LJ here.
I’d also love some other way for Missy to come and mess things up for them; she managed to trap souls after death to turn them into Cybermen after all, and you know Anakin’s thing about death. Maybe he’s trying to repeat what he did with Ahsoka, or even bring her back from the dead when he thinks he as Vader has killed her. Or maybe Ahsoka runs into the wrong portal—and Missy—when she’s navigating the World Between Worlds, given how it can take you anywhere you’re thinking of, and they get into a mess with Anakin, which the Doctor tries to help set right.

Achilles (Greek and Roman Mythology)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars)
Chelli Lona Aphra (Star Wars Marvel comics)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
Cassian Andor (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
They started out life on opposite sides during the Clone Wars, very young--although the difference of Ahsoka being fourteen and Cassian being six is significant--and end up being vital to the Rebellion: Ahsoka as an early leader who founded the spy network, Cassian as a leader who took the name she created and stole the Death Star plans. The other thing that interests me is that Ahsoka, while not Jyn, did need some convincing to join the Rebellion, after a year of just being on the run and doing disorganized good deeds that went against the Empire on the way. And that's after walking away from her position in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Whereas Cassian got into this when he was a child and never looked back. He was certain of the cause and clung to that, where Ahsoka did not.
As the person who ran the spy network for most of the years between the rise of the empire and a New Hope, I like to think Ahsoka would have known of Cassian and perhaps even met him, before he adopted the name she created--Rogue One is only a few years after the events of Rebels, if I understand things right. Or just go AU with it. If Cassian was ten years older during the Clone Wars, might he have encountered Ahsoka directly, or indirectly? How would that work if they met again within the Rebellion? Or if he were an ISB agent and she were a Sith? what if she had been a Separatist too? If the CIS had won the war, could they both be high in the government? Or maybe just one of them, while the other is part of this AU’s Rebellion?
Qi'ra (Solo: A Star Wars Story)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
Both of these women are forced to make difficult choices: Ahsoka despairs but finds hope and purpose again, while Q’ira believes her life is the only one there can be for her. I’d love to see them clash; maybe Ahsoka gives Q’ira hope, whether or not she chooses to treat it as real or as a fairytale. Or Ahsoka accepts Q’ira’s choices but still tries to reach out and support her when they cross paths during their adventures, even if they’re on opposite sides. Q’ira thinks the only way to come out on top is to advance in her organization. To that end, when she hears of a Force user fighting for the Rebellion/doing good deeds, she investigates and tries to pit her against Maul. Alternately, Ahsoka picks her up/has the Rebellion pick her up when she’s younger, and they meet again later, with Q’ira being a Rebel contact buried in the criminal world. Or maybe she winds up back with them for real, making her next meeting with Ahsoka fraught.
Jyn Erso (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
They know what it’s like to have to put survival first, before finding purpose again with the Rebellion. It’s something they might recognize in each other. What if the place Saw takes Jyn’s family to is Ahsoka, and she hides them? Or Jyn meets Ahsoka while Ahsoka is dealing with the Partisan cell of the Rebellion, and leaves with her instead of being alone? Maybe Ahsoka joins Jyn when she’s taken to get to Saw, in hopes of increasing the chances that he’ll see them, and that’s how they meet? Or it’s Ahsoka who picks Jyn up from the Imperial prison. What if Ahsoka was part of the Partisans, and they had a bittersweet relationship? Maybe Jyn is Force-sensitive and Ahsoka teaches her how to make a lightsaber out of that kyber crystal.
Poe Dameron (Star Wars ST)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
Ahsoka would be a legend by now, and I really like the idea of her having authority over Poe—or sway if she’s not an official part of the Resistance for whatever reason. What if she’s one of his heroes? Meanwhile, his being a hotshot pilot could give her a little nostalgia. She could keep an eye on him, but not really mind. Maybe she’s just come back from Malachor, and it’s the future, and she’s willing to help the Resistance once they’ve all confirmed who they are (perhaps with some help from Leia or Chewie). Or she’s one of the allies in the Outer Rim, having returned from the Unknown Regions, and he might’ve been sent to her; alternately, she saves them at the eleventh hour and they have an encounter in a brief moment of downtime.
Ben Solo | Kylo Ren (Star Wars ST)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
One of the most intriguing get-togethers that hasn’t happened. In their own ways, they each represent Anakin’s legacy, and they have their own relationships to that and to him. Ahsoka is his path not taken, having faced her own capacity for darkness when she wanted vengeance and chose against it, and Kylo Ren believes he is continuing his work by choosing against his capacity for goodness; as they both turn away and leave him behind, they continue on their paths, one to remove herself from the galaxy at large until she is needed and the other to dominated it in an attempt to fulfill his own needs. Does Kylo Ren ever find out his grandfather had an apprentice? What if he met her on some pilgrimage to Malachor? Or, in a universe where Anakin survived and Ben Solo still became Kylo Ren, would Kylo Ren find them together, and perhaps come to a different choice? Or maybe he finds Ahsoka in a sleep-like trance in the ruins of Malachor, and waking her leads to her being able to ward off Snoke’s influence? Maybe she trains him instead of or in addition to Luke, or a repentant Ben finds her when he’s trying to put what’s left of his destruction into a new life.
Ares (Xena: Warrior Princess)/Cara Mason (Legend of the Seeker)
It feels like these two would get along like a house on fire, with all the heat and destruction that implies. Cara seemed to have a little ambition beyond serving Rahl in the brief period she was still leading the Mord’Sith after his death and before they turned on her. She wanted to lead in the chaos of that moment; what if she did, and Ares took an interest? Or he coopted the Mord’Sith before that, undermining the Rahls as their patron, and he and Cara got rid of Rahl together? Or, I like their moments of not getting/not liking ordinary life—perhaps they meet while Ares is a mortal and Cara is on her new path, and there’s some bonding over their not quite fitting into their lives quite as smoothly; that could be funny or sweet, or both.
Cara Mason (Legend of the Seeker)/Xena (Xena: Warrior Princess)
They would understand each other so well! Which might lead to friction or to respect, or both. If they could talk to each other, they might compare notes on how to best go about their redemption, especially since Cara’s doesn’t actually start with her veering away from Rahl and her Mord’Sith sisters. They can be with Gabrielle and the rest of the Legend of the Seeker cast when they meet, or alone (perhaps Richard isn’t an option for Cara, and Xena hasn’t yet met Gabrielle.) Or what if Xena has a past with the Mord’Sith? Clashing with them the way she did with the Amazons, or because she was a warlord threatening Rahl. Maybe Xena the warlord teams up with Cara to take down Rahl and rule together in his stead.
James Norrington (Pirates of the Caribbean)/Fanny Price (Mansfield Park)
James Norrington (Pirates of the Caribbean)/Emma Swan (Once Upon a Time)
Val (Solo: A Star Wars Story)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
Rey (Star Wars ST)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
The concept of these two meeting is great! Ahsoka is touched by the light side, both in her choice to live in it and in how its very essence gave her back her life. Rey awoke to her power as the dark side rose. They both try to reach a dark-side user they see more in, and succeed, only to be betrayed by him, and they both face the hard choice of letting him go and coming in to their potential themselves, without any help. What if Ahsoka walked through another portal, when she knew it was time? Or perhaps she learned how to become a Force Ghost and that is the version Rey meets on a dream quest? Or maybe Ahsoka has become ageless, in a sleep-like trance under Malachor’s ruined Temple, until Rey goes there and wakes her up?

Angel/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
I love these two and how much they mean to each other, from the early seasons to the last. I enjoy all the scenes when they’re taking care of each other, whether it’s Buffy trying to nurse Angel back to health and sanity or Angel helping Buffy through a difficult moment. I’d be happy with some cuddling in her room or the mansion in the early seasons, a quick visit during the later seasons, the classic “what happened when they met in early BTVS season six/ATS season three” story, a bittersweet moment where one needs the other’s help on a mission during the years they spend apart, or a happy ending after all. Or maybe what happens in a Wishverse where Buffy and Angel survive the fight at the Bronze, or don’t go at all—what if Angel hadn’t gone to wait for her in Sunnydale, but had followed her to Cleveland? In both universes, they’re lonely souls stuck in-between worlds; how does their relationship work out with a Buffy who’s a little more jaded?
Buffy Summers/Maggie Walsh (BtVS)
Undead Maggie is sentient. Buffy has a talk with her.
Maggie opts not to kill Buffy and sees her as her new favorite tool in her plan instead of Riley.
Darla/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Drusilla/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Buffy and Drusilla share visions.
Drusilla decides to turn an enemy into a friend and so solve what’s been plaguing her little vampire family. Newly sired Buffy is still a bit prickly.
Sineya | First Slayer/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Buffy Summers/Kendra Young (BtVS)
I so wanted to get more of them. They’re wary and competitive, but they respect each other; Kendra can appreciate Buffy’s different take on things and Buffy’s sense of duty grows as the season goes on. I like to think her later reaction to Faith’s loose canon quality is because of all the deaths she couldn’t prevent in season two, and especially to honor Kendra’s sense of responsibility and the stake she now carries in her memory. Maybe Buffy gets Kendra that stuffed animal after all—does she do it in person or does she mail it over with a note? What if Kendra returned to Sunnydale much earlier, like around the time the Judge was being put together? That seems worthy of a visit—what would have changed if she had? Or if she’d survived Drusilla?
Tara Maclay/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
I’ve had a soft spot for them ever since Tara held a crying Buffy on her lap in “Dead Things.” I love Buffy’s accidental slipups—she doesn’t set out to confide in her or open herself up, mired as she is by then in feeling she has to be strong alone, but she responds to Tara and feels safe talking to her. You can see it even before that, as early as “The Body” when they talk about their mothers’ deaths. I also love the moment when Buffy takes the lead and stands up for Tara in front of her relatives, when Tara is feeling vulnerable and terrified of rejection. And then Tara seems to echo that chivalry later, when Buffy is uncomfortable with Spike but can’t fend him off herself because she’s distraught. I’d love to get a missing scene from season six after Buffy had that breakthrough, when it seemed they were getting closer. Or an alternate universe where Tara lives, but Willow still goes dark for a bit, and they need to recover. What if Willow manages to bring her back, and Buffy helps her cope?
Rupert Giles/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
A loving yet tense relationship, as the personal and the professional blur; I love how they love each other and yet out loud they try to contain the relationship with the words of their titles, defining themselves as Watcher and Slayer when they mean so much more to each other. I love the mix of intimacy and duty. They try to take care of each other. They don’t always manage it, but they try. I’d love to see them dealing with the after-effects of “Helpless”; Buffy forgives him, but they don’t forget. What if we saw more of the scene where she’s letting him take care of her wound? Or something when they get to talk after the events of season six, without having to immediately worry about Willow or the First—perhaps phone calls to the other side of the world between seasons? Happy adventures in Europe post-series?
Willow Rosenberg/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Buffy and Willow have such a tumultous journey together. I love Buffy’s supportiveness from the very start, and how Willow did her best to respond in kind. They’re so protective of each other, yet also have high expectations; Willow expects Buffy to be in that role of leader and protector, to be the strong one—despite sometimes resenting feeling like a sidekick—and Buffy relies on Willow’s skills even as they become more dangerous to Willow, while cutting herself off despite resenting being “strong” in that way. I love that Willow’s initial impulse when going dark was to heal Buffy and invite her to come along to take care of Warren, and I loved Buffy picking up injured Willow when the skin-eating demon got her, and how she lent Willow her strength to heal afterwards. How about a scene of them trying to reconnect afterwards, before everything became terrible again? Or how about post-season seven, Willow connected to the Slayers now—how would that affect her relationship with Buffy? Wbat if Willow bearing the brunt of the effort to resurrect Buffy binds them on a psychic level?
Daniel "Oz" Osbourne/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Cordelia Chase/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
As with Buffy and Kendra above, I would’ve loved to get more of them. They mirror each other; Cordelia is what Buffy was and how she could’ve continued to be, and she came around to being a hero too. I love the moments when they look out for each other, like Cordelia trying to help her keep her friendships and driving her home when she asks for help, or Buffy going out of her way to empathize with and reach out to Cordelia after the breakup with Xander, even though they’re no longer hanging out and weren’t quite close to begin with. I love how Cordelia doesn’t understand how Buffy would care about popularity and high school when she’s got a higher purpose to her life, and how Buffy can’t quite hide that she admires Cordelia and her social success even if she never directly says it; on some level they seem to long for what the other has, despite the insults they throw out. What about an AU where Buffy and Cordelia are roommates, Cordelia having decided to defer Hollywood until she had a degree? Or a role reversal where Cordelia is the Slayer and Buffy arrives in Sunnydale on the heels of her parents’ divorce, and they find themselves becoming frenemies’ in their new and precarious situation?
The First Evil/Buffy Summers (BtVS), The First Evil & Buffy Summers (BtVS)
The First Evil takes over Buffy’s dreams.
Buffy wonders why The First Evil liked to let her live at first.
Buffy Summers & Dawn Summers (BtVS)
A favorite sibling relationship of mine; there’s always friction, but a deep love too. I love Buffy seeing Dawn as part of herself, the function she plays as representing the person in her—choosing to kill Dawn means choosing to kill that part of herself, choosing to save Dawn at the world’s expense means choosing to kill the part of herself that is good—either way she is killing something she as a person values, and in her sacrifice she finds a way to balance and honor all of herself, who she is. She finds her strength again. I love Dawn desperately trying to keep what connections she has in this world, the things that make her feel like a person, trying so hard to reach Buffy and feeling so desolate when she can’t, but continually coming to understand her sister and looking out for her as best as she is able. I’d love to get more training sessions between seasons six and seven. Or how about them at Tara’s funeral? Processing the events that happened during that calm summer? Or them finding a new life in Italy, figuring out what new things to want, or what old things they can always come back to.

Or, from Lyria’s side: tell me about her previous affairs and adventures in trying to have a measure of control over her life? Or something post-series about her dealing with her kingdom in the wake of her mother’s death.

Amara/Red Queen | Anastasia (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)
Two very driven sorceresses, bent on changing the pain of their pasts. It might’ve been really fun for Amara to team up with Anastasia instead. Or maybe Amara freed Anastasia from Jafar’s grip and they had some time together before Amara died.
Amara/Queen of Hearts | Cora (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)
They have such similar yet different motivations, in regards to their children and the power they’ve amassed. It would be fun to see them trying to outmaneuver each other. Perhaps Amara visits Cora’s court?
Amara & Jafar (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)
What a messed-up apprentice-ship! I’d love to see more of it: power plays, secretive behavior, and perhaps an occasional moment of one of them feeling like they understand the other, even if the empathy doesn’t last.
Amara & Cyrus (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)
She really did do anything for him. And he for her. I’d be happy to receive any angsty moments from either of them during their separation, or maybe something with her teaching him about magic before it all happened.
Jabberwocky/Red Queen | Anastasia (OUATIW)
Those two were intense. And neither of them is dead at the end; maybe they could have a sort of rematch later down the line, a face-off they find they like more than expected. Or Anastasia remains haunted by the experience. Or both!
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, ghosts, ghost sex, feeling each others sensations during sex, IF/interactive fiction, poetry
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, m/m outside of m/m/f ships, 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, monster sex, tentacle sex
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.

Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars), Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down 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. 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. 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.”
Barriss Offee/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
Much as with the above, I love the tensions here, and how when Ahsoka’s faith was shaken with even Anakin not living up to her expectations—in not being the one to break her out—she was still willing to risk talking to Barriss, and it hurt him to admit she wouldn’t talk to him; how Barriss knew Ahsoka would think Anakin had been the one to do it and would trust him only to feel disappointed; how when Anakin brings Barriss in and he’s happy, but Ahsoka is clearly distraught, and how all their hearts are broken by the end. Out of all of them, Barriss was the one to first express her dissatisfaction with the Jedi in a decisive and decidedly dramatic manner. She was also the first to choose to fall to the Dark Side in reaction to that, betraying Ahsoka and changing her world forever, just as Anakin would later do on a larger scale; meanwhile Ahsoka herself reacted to her dissatisfaction by staying with the Light Side. I’d love to see the fallout of the season five finale; perhaps Ahsoka tries to talk to Barriss before she goes and Anakin reacts, or he talks to Barriss himself, or Barriss somehow gets free and they all end up having a fraught reunion. Or as above, Anakin finds out the other two will encounter each other and tries to help, only to have things get more complicated than he expected.
Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano/Asajj Ventress (Clone Wars)
I love the potential for tension here, especially given their dynamic in the season five finale episodes. Ahsoka warily depending on Ventress, Anakin being very unhappy as he told Asajj she was the only one Ahsoka had talked to and depending on her nevertheless, Asajj identifying with Ahsoka to Anakin’s shock. It’d be really fun to see this followed through as part of the arc’s impact, with Ahsoka perhaps meeting up with Ventress again and them running into Anakin in Coruscant’s underworld, or as part of a mission he ends up involved in without their knowledge—or maybe he finds out they’re working together and in his determination to meddle, gets more than he bargained for.
Dooku/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
I enjoy how The Clone Wars parallels the Dooku/Asajj and Anakin/Ahsoka master/apprentice relationships, and how in the end Asajj conveys Ahsoka’s disappointment to Anakin when she puts herself in Ahsoka’s place. What about something set post season five, with the attendant friction, putting these three in the same place? Maybe Dooku could be manipulative and play off the tensions in Anakin and Ahsoka’s relationship, or have some grudging but genuine respect for Ahsoka’s choice to leave and that messes with Anakin—or how about both? What if it was Ahsoka who came to rescue Palpatine with Anakin instead of Obi-Wan (who could’ve stayed on Mandalore to deal with Maul) and stopped Anakin from killing Dooku, so he had to take him in instead? Dramatic shenagigans and tense conversations ensue. Or Dooku managed to get away after this and took Ahsoka for leverage, with Anakin in pursuit, and very tense and dramatic things happened between all of them? Or earlier, when Dooku came in to check up on Miraj, he and Ahsoka had to team up because they didn’t like what Miraj was doing with Anakin, for differing reasons, and shenanigans?
Miraj Scintel/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
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?
Dooku/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
What if Ahsoka went 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? 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…Alternately, Dooku ends up going forward—perhaps in the World Between Worlds, Ahsoka looks on a scene with him and they can feel her gaze, so they investigate and she winds up pulling him 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.
The Daughter | Winged Goddess/Ahsoka Tano
The transfusion of life from The Daughter could be fun to play with. Maybe Ahsoka becomes immortal. Maybe she has to outlive everyone she ever comes to know, and not just because they all got killed in the various wars going on. Or she ascends into godhood the more enlightened she becomes, with her own power and experience melded with The Daughter’s, and there comes to be a temple with her image somewhere.
Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars)
I love these three together. They’re so alike, restricted by the lives their responsibilities demand but with a fire inside, and so open to love. They seem very close even in the early seasons; when Padmé needs a Jedi around, it’s not always Anakin because sometimes it’s Ahsoka; when Ahsoka needs a teacher, sometimes it’s Padmé; when Anakin needs someone to watch his back and be sensitive to his emotional state, sometimes it’s one and sometimes it’s the other; they each have their own relationship with both of the others. I see them as an equal triangle, or a V-relationship with Anakin at the center. I’d love to see a moment where Anakin and Padmé welcome Ahsoka into their relationship, or perhaps something after they’re all established together. It was wonderful to see the other two were working in sync to save Ahsoka when she was framed; what if they both try to get her back to them later, even if not to the Jedi? Padmé could try to persuade her, and they could go down a process of accepting and figuring out a new life in which Ahsoka is not Anakin’s Padawan but they’re all still together, perhaps closer than ever. Or maybe it’s Obi-Wan who stays on Mandalore to handle Maul, Ahsoka goes with Anakin, and they all pull together during Revenge of the Sith. Or Padmé lives, and she and Ahsoka have a bittersweet reunion with Anakin as Vader, or post-Vader.
Ahsoka Tano/Asajj Ventress (Clone Wars)
They start out in one place and end up in quite another, betrayed and eventually losing all their kind to the war and the Sith. They both turn to the underworld to cope: Ahsoka goes a little more criminal as a smuggler, even if she still does good deeds, and Asajj is willing to show mercy instead of just ruthlessly going after the money as a bounty hunter. I love how Asajj sees herself in Ahsoka, despite their former status as enemies, and Ahsoka being willing to plead her case. Their partnership is one of convenience, but they’re open to the idea that there’s more going on with the other than they thought. What if for some reason Ahsoka did stay with the Jedi, at least long enough to try to help Asajj out with them, or one of them sought the other out after she left? Maybe they run into each other on separate missions, or team up for one, and it leads to more reevaluation of where they stand? I could see Asajj occasionally helping Ahsoka out when it comes to protecting children from the Sith.

Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader (SW: Rebels), Ahsoka Tano & Darth Vader (SW: Rebels)
I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down 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? 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. 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.
Ahsoka Tano/Sabine Wren (Star Wars Rebels)
What if instead of Sabine finding the Ghost crew, Ahsoka picked up this demolitions expert for the Rebellion? Sabine has this guilt over her part in giving the Empire resources, and Ahsoka is aware of her own unknowing complicity during the Clone Wars in the rise of the Empire. That could be interesting to explore! Or, if Ahsoka is a goddess, maybe the prompt mentioned above with art in which Ahsoka is depicted in connection to the Daughter can be an element in a story with this relationship.
Hera Syndulla/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
These two know how to dedicate themselves to a cause. They throw themselves into it, while clinging to what relationships they can. It seems they’ve been meeting for a long time before Ahsoka is revealed to the rest of the crew; how did that relationship develop? Who found who first? Did they engage in a secret adventure where neither knew the other’s face at first? Maybe Ahsoka is Hera’s resident not-Jedi—or as close as she can be to that while still doing her job as spymaster. Or just her first not-Jedi. I like Kanan; it’s fine if you want to keep him around, and/or put all three of them together. I’m also good if it’s set after his death and Ahsoka settles down with Hera, or they keep having space adventures, or go after Ezra with Sabine. I didn’t request Sabine with them, but she’s awesome and I wouldn’t mind if you added her to this and made a poly ship.
Kanan Jarrus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
We don’t get to see much of them together, but I love the dynamic of this former Jedi who still behaves like one and this reluctant Jedi who’s coming back to it again—I’d love to see them coming back to themselves together. I loved the little moments of care, when Kanan would catch her as she fainted or want to go back for her as she protected them from the Inquisitors; how while they were both willing to let the other die in order to protect Ezra, regretting the loss of her drove his will into surviving long enough to go back in time to save her. I feel there’s a mutual respect there, and perhaps a bit of awe on Kanan’s part. I’d love a scene of them reminiscing about something, or doing a Jedi thing they used to do with their masters together. Or what if they’d run into each other soon after Order 66, when they were both lost and trying so hard not to be themselves, losing their old identities?
Bo-Katan Kryze/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Aleksandr Kallus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Sometime after Endor and before the epilogue, Kallus meets the first Fulcrum. Alternately, she makes it out of Malachor and takes him under her wing. Or she’s on the Empire’s side, and he’s her contact. Or she’s on the Empire’s side, he’s a Rebel, and she’s onto him.
Saw Gerrera/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Saw Guerrera and Ahsoka remain in contact as they resist the Empire. Ahsoka doesn’t join with Bail Organa, or she does but she leaves, following her instinct to take action over the things she believes about extreme behavior—how would she cope with that in light of what Barriss Offee did to her, and her own conclusion in canon that it was wrong but done for the right reasons? Is it possible Ezra, who has times when he leans towards extremes, could have followed her into that? What would Kanan do about it?
Ezra Bridger/Kanan Jarrus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Instead of meeting Maul or Vader right off, they spend some time in the haunted ruins of Malachor and its temple. They find time for a training session on a suitably distant world.
Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Ahsoka as Fulcrum plays cat and mouse games with Thrawn. Ahsoka has to have fucked up Thrawn’s plans during her decade and a half time as the Rebellion’s spymaster. They wouldn’t have met face to face then in canon, but what if they had? Maybe for a brief moment, they are trapped together and have something almost resembling a civil conversation. Or what if she’d been on the Empire’s side, and he had to deal with her (plus Vader?) when trying to deal with Kanan and Ezra? What I like best about Thrawn in Rebels is his villain’s admiration for Hera and Sabine over Ezra and Kanan; might be in part because they’re not Jedi, but I enjoy him being drawn to the women, and I think it was a shame he only appeared after Ahsoka was gone. So if you want to play with that!

Kaeden Larte/Ahsoka Tano (SW Ahsoka)
These two are wonderful! I love Kaeden being so welcoming and instantly attracted to Ahsoka, with Ahsoka reciprocating the attention without really being aware of it and being this mystery woman with a past. I love Ahsoka coming back and finding her purpose again, after all her grief, through letting herself get attached, find connections to being alive through caring for these people. Kaeden joins a medical ship for the Rebellion—what if they meet again because Ahsoka needs treatment and winds up there? Or maybe she needs to get some intelligence out to them, and there’s no one else to deliver it, or she chooses to come in person because Kaeden is there? What if they’re both trying to find a new role after the war is over, and they decide to try it together?
Kaeden Larte/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano ( SW Ahsoka)
Ahsoka loves them both a lot. I love her missing Anakin and I love how meeting Kaeden is part of her regaining the sense of purpose and belonging she lost when she left him. I’d love some AU where Anakin is on the run too and they welcome him into their relationship, or perhaps Anakin was with Ahsoka when she hid on Raada. Or perhaps not, and Vader goes there knowing he’ll find Ahsoka, and Ahsoka has to juggle the safety of Kaeden and her newfound friends with the need to go see him and figure things out; she’s already the mystery woman who’s friendly but keeps at a certain distance due to her past, and such a situation would only amplify that.
Kaeden Larte/Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader (SW Ahsoka)
Hedala Fardi & Ahsoka Tano (Ahsoka – Johnston)
Hedala has to leave her family to be safe, and Ahsoka goes on the run with her. Hedala has time to learn a little more in some play sessions before Ahsoka leaves.

Achilles (Greek and Roman Mythology)/Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars)
They’re both so resilient and brave and snarky. They are both lost to themselves and to the world sometimes, but they persist in living and eventually finding meaning and purpose in their fight again. They’re unconventional and independent and caring and that’s what saves them, and what makes them good leaders who inspire others and connect to them in terrible circumstances. Fuse their universes, have one of them visit the other in a dream—they’re both psychic that way—or have some portal shenanigans with the Force/Hellmouth. Maybe one of them is stuck in a temple via cryogenics or a spell and the other finds them in the ruins. Or, they run into each other when Buffy’s in that trap that turns homeless Earth people into slave labor; maybe in this case it’s actually something like the hunting game Ahsoka got caught in during The Clone Wars, and this time they’re trapped together! Escaping and bonding ensues.
Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Two destined heroes, unconventional within their context and struggling to balance their duties with their personal desires, capable of deep love, and hellishly dangerous in battle. A slight tendency to brood and cut themselves off because they are the One and nobody else can do what they can do. Then, they both experience the depression of having to keep living when they thought their life was over, they were done, and it would have come as a relief to be dead. Fuse their universes, have one of them visit the other in a dream—they’re both psychic that way—or have some portal shenanigans with the Force/Hellmouth. Maybe one of them is stuck in a temple via cryogenics or a spell and the other finds them in the ruins. Or, they run into each other when Buffy’s in that trap that turns homeless Earth people into slave labor; maybe she ends up on Tatooine instead, or he and/or Shmi got taken there at some point from Tatooine, and they escape together. Then they bond!
Missy (Doctor Who 2005)/Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars), Missy & Twelfth Doctor (Doctor Who 2005) & Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars)
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. Idea taken with permission from selenak on LJ here.
I’d also love some other way for Missy to come and mess things up for them; she managed to trap souls after death to turn them into Cybermen after all, and you know Anakin’s thing about death. Maybe he’s trying to repeat what he did with Ahsoka, or even bring her back from the dead when he thinks he as Vader has killed her. Or maybe Ahsoka runs into the wrong portal—and Missy—when she’s navigating the World Between Worlds, given how it can take you anywhere you’re thinking of, and they get into a mess with Anakin, which the Doctor tries to help set right.

Chelli Lona Aphra (Star Wars Marvel comics)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
Cassian Andor (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
They started out life on opposite sides during the Clone Wars, very young--although the difference of Ahsoka being fourteen and Cassian being six is significant--and end up being vital to the Rebellion: Ahsoka as an early leader who founded the spy network, Cassian as a leader who took the name she created and stole the Death Star plans. The other thing that interests me is that Ahsoka, while not Jyn, did need some convincing to join the Rebellion, after a year of just being on the run and doing disorganized good deeds that went against the Empire on the way. And that's after walking away from her position in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Whereas Cassian got into this when he was a child and never looked back. He was certain of the cause and clung to that, where Ahsoka did not.
As the person who ran the spy network for most of the years between the rise of the empire and a New Hope, I like to think Ahsoka would have known of Cassian and perhaps even met him, before he adopted the name she created--Rogue One is only a few years after the events of Rebels, if I understand things right. Or just go AU with it. If Cassian was ten years older during the Clone Wars, might he have encountered Ahsoka directly, or indirectly? How would that work if they met again within the Rebellion? Or if he were an ISB agent and she were a Sith? what if she had been a Separatist too? If the CIS had won the war, could they both be high in the government? Or maybe just one of them, while the other is part of this AU’s Rebellion?
Qi'ra (Solo: A Star Wars Story)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
Both of these women are forced to make difficult choices: Ahsoka despairs but finds hope and purpose again, while Q’ira believes her life is the only one there can be for her. I’d love to see them clash; maybe Ahsoka gives Q’ira hope, whether or not she chooses to treat it as real or as a fairytale. Or Ahsoka accepts Q’ira’s choices but still tries to reach out and support her when they cross paths during their adventures, even if they’re on opposite sides. Q’ira thinks the only way to come out on top is to advance in her organization. To that end, when she hears of a Force user fighting for the Rebellion/doing good deeds, she investigates and tries to pit her against Maul. Alternately, Ahsoka picks her up/has the Rebellion pick her up when she’s younger, and they meet again later, with Q’ira being a Rebel contact buried in the criminal world. Or maybe she winds up back with them for real, making her next meeting with Ahsoka fraught.
Jyn Erso (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
They know what it’s like to have to put survival first, before finding purpose again with the Rebellion. It’s something they might recognize in each other. What if the place Saw takes Jyn’s family to is Ahsoka, and she hides them? Or Jyn meets Ahsoka while Ahsoka is dealing with the Partisan cell of the Rebellion, and leaves with her instead of being alone? Maybe Ahsoka joins Jyn when she’s taken to get to Saw, in hopes of increasing the chances that he’ll see them, and that’s how they meet? Or it’s Ahsoka who picks Jyn up from the Imperial prison. What if Ahsoka was part of the Partisans, and they had a bittersweet relationship? Maybe Jyn is Force-sensitive and Ahsoka teaches her how to make a lightsaber out of that kyber crystal.
Poe Dameron (Star Wars ST)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
Ahsoka would be a legend by now, and I really like the idea of her having authority over Poe—or sway if she’s not an official part of the Resistance for whatever reason. What if she’s one of his heroes? Meanwhile, his being a hotshot pilot could give her a little nostalgia. She could keep an eye on him, but not really mind. Maybe she’s just come back from Malachor, and it’s the future, and she’s willing to help the Resistance once they’ve all confirmed who they are (perhaps with some help from Leia or Chewie). Or she’s one of the allies in the Outer Rim, having returned from the Unknown Regions, and he might’ve been sent to her; alternately, she saves them at the eleventh hour and they have an encounter in a brief moment of downtime.
Ben Solo | Kylo Ren (Star Wars ST)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
One of the most intriguing get-togethers that hasn’t happened. In their own ways, they each represent Anakin’s legacy, and they have their own relationships to that and to him. Ahsoka is his path not taken, having faced her own capacity for darkness when she wanted vengeance and chose against it, and Kylo Ren believes he is continuing his work by choosing against his capacity for goodness; as they both turn away and leave him behind, they continue on their paths, one to remove herself from the galaxy at large until she is needed and the other to dominated it in an attempt to fulfill his own needs. Does Kylo Ren ever find out his grandfather had an apprentice? What if he met her on some pilgrimage to Malachor? Or, in a universe where Anakin survived and Ben Solo still became Kylo Ren, would Kylo Ren find them together, and perhaps come to a different choice? Or maybe he finds Ahsoka in a sleep-like trance in the ruins of Malachor, and waking her leads to her being able to ward off Snoke’s influence? Maybe she trains him instead of or in addition to Luke, or a repentant Ben finds her when he’s trying to put what’s left of his destruction into a new life.
Ares (Xena: Warrior Princess)/Cara Mason (Legend of the Seeker)
It feels like these two would get along like a house on fire, with all the heat and destruction that implies. Cara seemed to have a little ambition beyond serving Rahl in the brief period she was still leading the Mord’Sith after his death and before they turned on her. She wanted to lead in the chaos of that moment; what if she did, and Ares took an interest? Or he coopted the Mord’Sith before that, undermining the Rahls as their patron, and he and Cara got rid of Rahl together? Or, I like their moments of not getting/not liking ordinary life—perhaps they meet while Ares is a mortal and Cara is on her new path, and there’s some bonding over their not quite fitting into their lives quite as smoothly; that could be funny or sweet, or both.
Cara Mason (Legend of the Seeker)/Xena (Xena: Warrior Princess)
They would understand each other so well! Which might lead to friction or to respect, or both. If they could talk to each other, they might compare notes on how to best go about their redemption, especially since Cara’s doesn’t actually start with her veering away from Rahl and her Mord’Sith sisters. They can be with Gabrielle and the rest of the Legend of the Seeker cast when they meet, or alone (perhaps Richard isn’t an option for Cara, and Xena hasn’t yet met Gabrielle.) Or what if Xena has a past with the Mord’Sith? Clashing with them the way she did with the Amazons, or because she was a warlord threatening Rahl. Maybe Xena the warlord teams up with Cara to take down Rahl and rule together in his stead.
James Norrington (Pirates of the Caribbean)/Fanny Price (Mansfield Park)
James Norrington (Pirates of the Caribbean)/Emma Swan (Once Upon a Time)
Val (Solo: A Star Wars Story)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
Rey (Star Wars ST)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
The concept of these two meeting is great! Ahsoka is touched by the light side, both in her choice to live in it and in how its very essence gave her back her life. Rey awoke to her power as the dark side rose. They both try to reach a dark-side user they see more in, and succeed, only to be betrayed by him, and they both face the hard choice of letting him go and coming in to their potential themselves, without any help. What if Ahsoka walked through another portal, when she knew it was time? Or perhaps she learned how to become a Force Ghost and that is the version Rey meets on a dream quest? Or maybe Ahsoka has become ageless, in a sleep-like trance under Malachor’s ruined Temple, until Rey goes there and wakes her up?

Angel/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
I love these two and how much they mean to each other, from the early seasons to the last. I enjoy all the scenes when they’re taking care of each other, whether it’s Buffy trying to nurse Angel back to health and sanity or Angel helping Buffy through a difficult moment. I’d be happy with some cuddling in her room or the mansion in the early seasons, a quick visit during the later seasons, the classic “what happened when they met in early BTVS season six/ATS season three” story, a bittersweet moment where one needs the other’s help on a mission during the years they spend apart, or a happy ending after all. Or maybe what happens in a Wishverse where Buffy and Angel survive the fight at the Bronze, or don’t go at all—what if Angel hadn’t gone to wait for her in Sunnydale, but had followed her to Cleveland? In both universes, they’re lonely souls stuck in-between worlds; how does their relationship work out with a Buffy who’s a little more jaded?
Buffy Summers/Maggie Walsh (BtVS)
Undead Maggie is sentient. Buffy has a talk with her.
Maggie opts not to kill Buffy and sees her as her new favorite tool in her plan instead of Riley.
Darla/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Drusilla/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Buffy and Drusilla share visions.
Drusilla decides to turn an enemy into a friend and so solve what’s been plaguing her little vampire family. Newly sired Buffy is still a bit prickly.
Sineya | First Slayer/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Buffy Summers/Kendra Young (BtVS)
I so wanted to get more of them. They’re wary and competitive, but they respect each other; Kendra can appreciate Buffy’s different take on things and Buffy’s sense of duty grows as the season goes on. I like to think her later reaction to Faith’s loose canon quality is because of all the deaths she couldn’t prevent in season two, and especially to honor Kendra’s sense of responsibility and the stake she now carries in her memory. Maybe Buffy gets Kendra that stuffed animal after all—does she do it in person or does she mail it over with a note? What if Kendra returned to Sunnydale much earlier, like around the time the Judge was being put together? That seems worthy of a visit—what would have changed if she had? Or if she’d survived Drusilla?
Tara Maclay/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
I’ve had a soft spot for them ever since Tara held a crying Buffy on her lap in “Dead Things.” I love Buffy’s accidental slipups—she doesn’t set out to confide in her or open herself up, mired as she is by then in feeling she has to be strong alone, but she responds to Tara and feels safe talking to her. You can see it even before that, as early as “The Body” when they talk about their mothers’ deaths. I also love the moment when Buffy takes the lead and stands up for Tara in front of her relatives, when Tara is feeling vulnerable and terrified of rejection. And then Tara seems to echo that chivalry later, when Buffy is uncomfortable with Spike but can’t fend him off herself because she’s distraught. I’d love to get a missing scene from season six after Buffy had that breakthrough, when it seemed they were getting closer. Or an alternate universe where Tara lives, but Willow still goes dark for a bit, and they need to recover. What if Willow manages to bring her back, and Buffy helps her cope?
Rupert Giles/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
A loving yet tense relationship, as the personal and the professional blur; I love how they love each other and yet out loud they try to contain the relationship with the words of their titles, defining themselves as Watcher and Slayer when they mean so much more to each other. I love the mix of intimacy and duty. They try to take care of each other. They don’t always manage it, but they try. I’d love to see them dealing with the after-effects of “Helpless”; Buffy forgives him, but they don’t forget. What if we saw more of the scene where she’s letting him take care of her wound? Or something when they get to talk after the events of season six, without having to immediately worry about Willow or the First—perhaps phone calls to the other side of the world between seasons? Happy adventures in Europe post-series?
Willow Rosenberg/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Buffy and Willow have such a tumultous journey together. I love Buffy’s supportiveness from the very start, and how Willow did her best to respond in kind. They’re so protective of each other, yet also have high expectations; Willow expects Buffy to be in that role of leader and protector, to be the strong one—despite sometimes resenting feeling like a sidekick—and Buffy relies on Willow’s skills even as they become more dangerous to Willow, while cutting herself off despite resenting being “strong” in that way. I love that Willow’s initial impulse when going dark was to heal Buffy and invite her to come along to take care of Warren, and I loved Buffy picking up injured Willow when the skin-eating demon got her, and how she lent Willow her strength to heal afterwards. How about a scene of them trying to reconnect afterwards, before everything became terrible again? Or how about post-season seven, Willow connected to the Slayers now—how would that affect her relationship with Buffy? Wbat if Willow bearing the brunt of the effort to resurrect Buffy binds them on a psychic level?
Daniel "Oz" Osbourne/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Cordelia Chase/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
As with Buffy and Kendra above, I would’ve loved to get more of them. They mirror each other; Cordelia is what Buffy was and how she could’ve continued to be, and she came around to being a hero too. I love the moments when they look out for each other, like Cordelia trying to help her keep her friendships and driving her home when she asks for help, or Buffy going out of her way to empathize with and reach out to Cordelia after the breakup with Xander, even though they’re no longer hanging out and weren’t quite close to begin with. I love how Cordelia doesn’t understand how Buffy would care about popularity and high school when she’s got a higher purpose to her life, and how Buffy can’t quite hide that she admires Cordelia and her social success even if she never directly says it; on some level they seem to long for what the other has, despite the insults they throw out. What about an AU where Buffy and Cordelia are roommates, Cordelia having decided to defer Hollywood until she had a degree? Or a role reversal where Cordelia is the Slayer and Buffy arrives in Sunnydale on the heels of her parents’ divorce, and they find themselves becoming frenemies’ in their new and precarious situation?
The First Evil/Buffy Summers (BtVS), The First Evil & Buffy Summers (BtVS)
The First Evil takes over Buffy’s dreams.
Buffy wonders why The First Evil liked to let her live at first.
Buffy Summers & Dawn Summers (BtVS)
A favorite sibling relationship of mine; there’s always friction, but a deep love too. I love Buffy seeing Dawn as part of herself, the function she plays as representing the person in her—choosing to kill Dawn means choosing to kill that part of herself, choosing to save Dawn at the world’s expense means choosing to kill the part of herself that is good—either way she is killing something she as a person values, and in her sacrifice she finds a way to balance and honor all of herself, who she is. She finds her strength again. I love Dawn desperately trying to keep what connections she has in this world, the things that make her feel like a person, trying so hard to reach Buffy and feeling so desolate when she can’t, but continually coming to understand her sister and looking out for her as best as she is able. I’d love to get more training sessions between seasons six and seven. Or how about them at Tara’s funeral? Processing the events that happened during that calm summer? Or them finding a new life in Italy, figuring out what new things to want, or what old things they can always come back to.

Bandon/Mareth (Shannara)
I also liked when he tried to get to Mareth and talked about her potential—what if that had worked?
Allanon & Mareth (Shannara)
Mareth/Wil Ohmsford (Shannara)
Give me something something post-series, with her trying to rescue him.

Lyria & Tamlin (Shannara)
From Tamlin’s side: tell me about her efforts to protect her kingdom, her ambiguous behavior with good intentions, and more of how she sees the daughter she loves. Maybe a nice moment they had amongst all the familial strife, or a happier ending where they can both meet in the middle with who they are to each other? Or, from Lyria’s side: tell me about her previous affairs and adventures in trying to have a measure of control over her life? Or something post-series about her dealing with her kingdom in the wake of her mother’s death.

Amara/Red Queen | Anastasia (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)
Two very driven sorceresses, bent on changing the pain of their pasts. It might’ve been really fun for Amara to team up with Anastasia instead. Or maybe Amara freed Anastasia from Jafar’s grip and they had some time together before Amara died.
Amara/Queen of Hearts | Cora (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)
They have such similar yet different motivations, in regards to their children and the power they’ve amassed. It would be fun to see them trying to outmaneuver each other. Perhaps Amara visits Cora’s court?
Amara & Jafar (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)
What a messed-up apprentice-ship! I’d love to see more of it: power plays, secretive behavior, and perhaps an occasional moment of one of them feeling like they understand the other, even if the empathy doesn’t last.
Amara & Cyrus (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)
She really did do anything for him. And he for her. I’d be happy to receive any angsty moments from either of them during their separation, or maybe something with her teaching him about magic before it all happened.
Jabberwocky/Red Queen | Anastasia (OUATIW)
Those two were intense. And neither of them is dead at the end; maybe they could have a sort of rematch later down the line, a face-off they find they like more than expected. Or Anastasia remains haunted by the experience. Or both!
