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. I love their banter and their pleasure in dangerous situations, so maybe a moment building on that. Or something leaning on the near-telepathic abilities the Force gives them, with regard to being able to sense each others' feelings--they might sense something and pursue the matter, or get distracted and lose control of their own feelings. Not to mention, the Force gives them more stamina, so they could last awhile. Maybe they could celebrate a victory, or just let out their mischievous/competitive side during sex/something romantic. Or they could have any of the conversations they might otherwise engage in, except during sex/something romantic. Or they could be fixing his prosthesis! How about an AU where one or both of them was never found by the Jedi: Anakin remains a slave, Ahsoka was successfully captured as a toddler and sold by the bounty hunter (I love that bit of her backstory for the what-if of how she nearly had another thing in common with Anakin), so they run into each other under those circumstances; only one of them goes through what’s described above, until they’re found by the Sith, while the other remains a Jedi. Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived—they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. I’d also love a Regency AU (set in space or somewhere more historical) akin to Sorcerer of the Crown by Zen Cho, with Anakin in this unstable position in society due to his origins and Ahsoka, also with a less than respectable background, swooping into his life with all her confidence and talent. Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” I also have time travel prompts for them in this letter.
Barriss Offee/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (TCW)
I love the potential for tension 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 (TCW)
Much as with the above, I love the tensions 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.

Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader (Star Wars: 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. I also have time travel prompts for them in this letter.
Ezra Bridger/Kanan Jarrus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Ezra and Kanan love each other, bumpy though their relationship can be, and when Ahsoka comes in they have a warm connection right away. I enjoyed watching them trust and defer to her, Ahsoka protecting them while keeping her own counsel, and all three of them navigating being Jedi together. Ezra wants to be a stronger Jedi, Kanan doesn’t feel like a complete Jedi, and Ahsoka has survivor’s guilt but walks, talks, and acts like a Jedi. Instead of meeting Maul or Vader right off, they spend some time in the haunted ruins of Malachor and its temple, facing their ghosts. They find time for a training session on a suitably distant world. Or Ahsoka has to train them on the job. Or sparring leads to laughing and hugs.

Kaeden Larte/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (SW Ahsoka)
Fanfiction
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. And Kaeden could have two awesome warrior lovers to protect her! 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, what if Ahsoka and Kaeden wander the galaxy doing good, and then suddenly they need to rescue Anakin? Or what if Anakin joined up with the Rebellion and is the person who reaches out to recruit Ahsoka, having been searching for her the whole time?
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. Kaeden has to deal with her (not)girlfriend’s past coming back to haunt them both. Ahsoka is the’s the first (not)Jedi Vader sees after Mustafar; he didn’t know but he’s not surprised.
Or 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. What about an AU in which Sith Ahsoka comes by Raada and picks up a girlfriend? She spares Miara out of mercy/for points with Kaeden.

Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Daenerys Targaryen (GoT)
These two are charged with energy all by themselves, and the thought of them with each other is delicious. Both of them have this intensity of feeling, as well as the whiff of prophecy about them. They both have a desire to remake the world around them for the better, and a ruthlessness in following that drive. With interesting differences: where Dany is willing to learn to rule and to navigate mercy while in an environment that encourages violence, Anakin is raised to value mercy but struggles to adhere to it, and he isn’t raised to think he can rule—he just decides it as part of his personal fuck everything breakdown. What would it be like, if they could meet? The potential vibe reminds me of the Daario scene where he kneels and delivers the heads of her enemies. At the same time, they started out as gentler souls, and they have love in their hearts. They could share an understanding, I think. They’d be a potent mix. Also, I like the appearance of flight in their stories: Anakin is the best flyer and it’s part of how he got out of slavery, where Daenerys is the first to fly dragons in many years, which provides her with both power and a means of escape. Plus they both love doing it. And I know this is more book Daenerys, and I haven’t read the books, but the line “if I look back, I am lost” has always been very striking; it seems like something that could apply to Anakin, who, as he states in The Clone Wars film, “[doesn’t] want to talk about my past...The desert is merciless.
It takes everything from you.”
Feel free to AU either of them into the other’s universe, or have them share one, or let the mystical shenanigans fly free. They dream of each other during bad times, they might or might not know they will meet.
Caspian X (Narnia - Lewis)/Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)
Aragorn (LotR - Movies)/Daenerys Targaryen (GoT)
Cassian Andor (SWR1)/Ahsoka Tano (SW 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?
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 dominate 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.
Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
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! Maybe they’ve been dreaming of each other all this time without knowing, being a comfort to each other. Maybe when Buffy died, they connected on the astral plane, and then she’s pulled back to life…
Luna Lovegood (HP)/Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)
Ares (Xena)/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.
Ares (XWP)/Buffy Summers (BTVS)
As I said above, these canons could really work with fusing them into one universe, though dimension travel is also good. Maybe Ares breaks out of the temple he was trapped in during that modern Xena archaeology episode, or he’s just been up to his usual tricks this whole time. I could see this having a fun tension, since Buffy is a goody-good but very violent—and she changed the world! With the creation of all those Slayers. And she associates passion with pain, by season four anyway. I could see him being intrigued by how she keeps coming back to fight, and win, and those times she skirts the edge of her boundaries—imagine late-season Buffy meeting Ares. And/or maybe Ares is stuck as a mortal for some reason when they meet...

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?
Rupert Giles/Buffy Summers (Buffy tVS)
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?

There’s bad blood between all three houses now, and Robb isn’t going to team up with the one who killed his father, who he’s been fighting against, but Daenerys is seeking to rule the land he was just crowned king of...so how would a marriage alliance work out?
Jaime Lannister/Daenerys Targaryen (GoT)
He killed her father, but her father was a danger to the kingdom she wants to be a good queen of, and she wouldn’t have had either the kingdom or a shot at ruling it without that. They both struggle with the reality of their positions as knight and queen, versus what they’d like to be in those roles: to be honorable, to save the vulnerable, and to have that recognized and work out. It’d be complicated, but that’s interesting to me.

I’d also love a Regency AU (set in space or somewhere more historical) akin to Sorcerer of the Crown by Zen Cho, with Anakin in this unstable position in society due to his origins and Ahsoka, also with a less than respectable background, swooping into his life with all her confidence and talent. Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” I also have time travel prompts for them in this letter.
Barriss Offee/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (TCW)
I love the potential for tension 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 (TCW)
Much as with the above, I love the tensions 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.

Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader (Star Wars: 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. I also have time travel prompts for them in this letter.
Ezra Bridger/Kanan Jarrus/Ahsoka Tano (SW Rebels)
Ezra and Kanan love each other, bumpy though their relationship can be, and when Ahsoka comes in they have a warm connection right away. I enjoyed watching them trust and defer to her, Ahsoka protecting them while keeping her own counsel, and all three of them navigating being Jedi together. Ezra wants to be a stronger Jedi, Kanan doesn’t feel like a complete Jedi, and Ahsoka has survivor’s guilt but walks, talks, and acts like a Jedi. Instead of meeting Maul or Vader right off, they spend some time in the haunted ruins of Malachor and its temple, facing their ghosts. They find time for a training session on a suitably distant world. Or Ahsoka has to train them on the job. Or sparring leads to laughing and hugs.

Kaeden Larte/Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (SW Ahsoka)
Fanfiction
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. And Kaeden could have two awesome warrior lovers to protect her! 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, what if Ahsoka and Kaeden wander the galaxy doing good, and then suddenly they need to rescue Anakin? Or what if Anakin joined up with the Rebellion and is the person who reaches out to recruit Ahsoka, having been searching for her the whole time?
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. Kaeden has to deal with her (not)girlfriend’s past coming back to haunt them both. Ahsoka is the’s the first (not)Jedi Vader sees after Mustafar; he didn’t know but he’s not surprised.
Or 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. What about an AU in which Sith Ahsoka comes by Raada and picks up a girlfriend? She spares Miara out of mercy/for points with Kaeden.

Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Daenerys Targaryen (GoT)
These two are charged with energy all by themselves, and the thought of them with each other is delicious. Both of them have this intensity of feeling, as well as the whiff of prophecy about them. They both have a desire to remake the world around them for the better, and a ruthlessness in following that drive. With interesting differences: where Dany is willing to learn to rule and to navigate mercy while in an environment that encourages violence, Anakin is raised to value mercy but struggles to adhere to it, and he isn’t raised to think he can rule—he just decides it as part of his personal fuck everything breakdown. What would it be like, if they could meet? The potential vibe reminds me of the Daario scene where he kneels and delivers the heads of her enemies. At the same time, they started out as gentler souls, and they have love in their hearts. They could share an understanding, I think. They’d be a potent mix. Also, I like the appearance of flight in their stories: Anakin is the best flyer and it’s part of how he got out of slavery, where Daenerys is the first to fly dragons in many years, which provides her with both power and a means of escape. Plus they both love doing it. And I know this is more book Daenerys, and I haven’t read the books, but the line “if I look back, I am lost” has always been very striking; it seems like something that could apply to Anakin, who, as he states in The Clone Wars film, “[doesn’t] want to talk about my past...The desert is merciless.
It takes everything from you.”
Feel free to AU either of them into the other’s universe, or have them share one, or let the mystical shenanigans fly free. They dream of each other during bad times, they might or might not know they will meet.
Caspian X (Narnia - Lewis)/Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)
Aragorn (LotR - Movies)/Daenerys Targaryen (GoT)
Cassian Andor (SWR1)/Ahsoka Tano (SW 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?
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 dominate 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.
Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
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! Maybe they’ve been dreaming of each other all this time without knowing, being a comfort to each other. Maybe when Buffy died, they connected on the astral plane, and then she’s pulled back to life…
Luna Lovegood (HP)/Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)
Ares (Xena)/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.
Ares (XWP)/Buffy Summers (BTVS)
As I said above, these canons could really work with fusing them into one universe, though dimension travel is also good. Maybe Ares breaks out of the temple he was trapped in during that modern Xena archaeology episode, or he’s just been up to his usual tricks this whole time. I could see this having a fun tension, since Buffy is a goody-good but very violent—and she changed the world! With the creation of all those Slayers. And she associates passion with pain, by season four anyway. I could see him being intrigued by how she keeps coming back to fight, and win, and those times she skirts the edge of her boundaries—imagine late-season Buffy meeting Ares. And/or maybe Ares is stuck as a mortal for some reason when they meet...

Angel/Buffy Summers (Buffy tVS)
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?
Rupert Giles/Buffy Summers (Buffy tVS)
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?

What if Daenerys had arrived sooner, while the Stark/Lannister war was still going? She’s formidable to both of them. There’s bad blood between all three houses now, and Robb isn’t going to team up with the one who killed his father, who he’s been fighting against, but Daenerys is seeking to rule the land he was just crowned king of...so how would a marriage alliance work out?
Jaime Lannister/Daenerys Targaryen (GoT)
He killed her father, but her father was a danger to the kingdom she wants to be a good queen of, and she wouldn’t have had either the kingdom or a shot at ruling it without that. They both struggle with the reality of their positions as knight and queen, versus what they’d like to be in those roles: to be honorable, to save the vulnerable, and to have that recognized and work out. It’d be complicated, but that’s interesting to me.
