Hello, author!
I am so excited for this exchange. Thank you in advance for being willing to create for me! I hope this letter is of help, if you should want any, but please don't feel bound to any prompts. I'd be so happy with anything that fit my requests as they are in the signup. This is a bit of a Frankenstein letter, with some things from older letters and some new thing; if any section is longer or shorter, it doesn't matter. I want every relationship and every configuration in here, so much.
These are all fic requests.

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

--- Requested ship: Spock/Spock Prime/Nyota Uhura (hurt Spock Prime) (AOS)
Original Spock was marooned for a long time, it makes me so sad. I really like the vibe of surety and warmth he has, but he must be dealing with a lot, in a totally different way from this universe's Spock; and then it must be so weird for the other two, to get a glimpse of what their lives might've been like. How do you navigate who you are to each other, when you add a whole timeline's worth of a different past to the mix? It would just be so interesting to see what that looks like with them together. Especially when you have young Uhura and Spock in a nice established relationship with normal-for-them things to work through, and you add older Spock who's lived his life and has more experience with how to handle his feelings.

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

--- Requested ship: Michael Burnham/Spock (hurt Michael)
Why do I watch prequels when they hurt me? He wanted to follow her! He was going to do it and then he couldn’t. And even when they were fighting, he was so self-conscious about the beard when she caught him off-guard—it was so cute. After a whole season of her trying to help him and they started to reconnect, and him being supportive with the chess, and her punching Leland, and the big speech at the end because he wanted to watch her back personally; I am so sad.
I am willing to receive more sadness! Not bleak stuff, but the bittersweetness and hope of the ending we got. I’m also willing to receive fluff, and them trying to take care of each other. Fix-its in which they reconcile sooner, or he does go with her, a missing scene if you can find a place to put it, maybe a conversation about what their plans to go will do to their parents because holy shit. Or childhood backstory, maybe from before Michael did her thing to isolate herself from Spock for his own good; or maybe she doesn’t make that decision this time, and they can be a little happier. Frozen AU/fusion, because Michael is Elsa and Spock is Anna. I like the idea of her shaving his beard instead of him doing it himself. Maybe pon farr is a thing Michael ends up helping him with…possibly even before they can reconcile, for the angst.
--- Requested ship: Michael Burnham/Ash Tyler | Voq (Michael hurt)
I love how much these two run the gamut. Their early relationship is so sweet, so caring and empathetic with just a little awkwardness because it's Michael. They go through being stuck in the mirror universe together...and then Ash isn't quite who they both thought he was and it's so messed up for them both. The quiet start to reconciling themselves to what happened at the end of season one was so good, and despite my enjoyment of season two I was sad we didn't get to see more of them together. I'd love anything, whether canon divergence AUs where they get to spend more time together or he goes with her into the future, or canon compliant missing scenes.

--- Requested ship: Michael Burnham & Mirror Philippa Georgiou (hurt Michael)
Gah, the tragedy, the star-crossedness of it all. They loved the other versions of themselves, and these new people are different, but somehow, they still are people who they love. And they accept it, but then deny its power over them to an extent, and they find themselves in opposition—and Georgiou tries to kill her mother to have Michael to herself, of all things—but she also goes and follows Michael into the unknown future. I love it, and I love Michael not being able to betray her, but using her love for her to get Georgiou to back off when she needs to, putting her life in her hands, and then not trusting her later because hello, logic. I’d love to see a tug of war between them, more conversations and poking at each other and mutual recognition of the emotions which exist between them and how they’re both willing to use them, but still value each other.
--- Requested ship: Michael Burnham & Philippa Georgiou (hurt Michael)
I love so much that Philippa is how Michael connects to her human side after that complicated childhood on Vulcan, and how she can self-actualize through her; how it interacts with her existing issues and leads to her betrayal is so fraught and juicy. She matters to her so much, and Philippa regarded her so highly, and the have a bond that spans actual universes. Anything—missing scenes, backstory, an alternate universe where Philippa doesn’t die—would be loved.

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

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

--- Requested ship: Spock (Star Trek Prime Timeline)/Buffy Summers (BTVS TV) (Buffy hurt)
I like the potential vibes of this! Buffy is blatantly guided by her heart and uses it, but—struggle with accepting this thing which was thrust on her notwithstanding—she’s committed to saving people, she’s willing to sacrifice and bears the weight, containing so much pain inside her to be strong for others. And she can be a pretty observant, intuitive person with people, and so empathetic and protective. Spock is so professional and level-headed, but he does have that deep well of feeling he keeps contained, because he understands he should, and a loneliness despite being among close friends which I think they could be able to recognize in each other. Buffy has a habit of being in quiet moments and talks with guys who get where she’s at even if they have different angles: Giles, Angel, Spike. And Spock doesn’t quite have the habit, but you see him being able to connect to Zarabeth as she shares her loneliness, external factors making that easier for him notwithstanding. They both know, for different reasons, something about what it’s like to walk in two worlds and try to live a life in which their whole selves can be fulfilled instead of denied. Plus, they both died a sacrificial death only to be brought back by determined friends. He’s the logic guy, but he also respects and values people who operate a little differently—I feel like Buffy is a little like Jim. And Spock is a little like both Giles and Angel, with the researching and the curiosity about new things plus that one time he quoted Byron, and the deep well of emotion he keeps in check. Not to mention the pon farr thing, which is different from Angel’s worry about losing his soul and wanting to find peace in her, but...it’s still related to the potential danger of instinct taking over, and their fear and shame of such a thing happening. And I can’t help but compare Jim being willing to get beat up to help Spock and then faking his death, with the resulting distress on Spock’s side and his willingness to get punished afterwards, to Buffy making a feverish Angel bite her and drain her to save him, and Angel’s resulting distress at his lack of control and wanting to remove himself from Sunnydale even further as his worst fears were confirmed. (This is optional of course, but I’ll mention it because it’s where this line of thought got me: if you want to do Kirk/Spock/Buffy instead of either Jim/Buffy or Buffy/Spock, you totally can.)
As for the logistics—there’s canon time travel in Star Trek. Buffy might see him in her context of demons, because that’s what she knows, but she’s capable of recognizing this doesn’t mean she needs to hurt him pretty quickly: see Angel after the initial post-kiss shock, and Oz. Or she goes forward in time—magic shenanigans, or she’s immortal in some way after the Slayer spell and still hunts demons in the future, or she’s frozen like Khan was—and Buffy, with a future even more open than it seemed in Chosen (if also bittersweet because of the loss of her loved ones from the show), gets up to adventures with him while exploring the galaxy? Or you could do a fusion in which one of them is AU’d into the setting of the other. How does Buffy do having to slay and have a life in space—would she be interested in joining Starfleet, can she make it with her life, or does she go out on her own, or relying on other people’s resources? Or maybe she doesn’t have to slay at all, she’s just another person out there dealing with weird things, as Star Trek characters do. As for AU’ing Spock into this setting—maybe he’s trapped in this dimension, or he/his family had to flee their home, or they ended up estranged something like in canon, and he’s got to hide himself to blend into this human society which is so much more backwards than in the TOS future, causing angst. If you want to add some mentor/mentee dynamic to it, maybe he’s a college/Starfleet Academy professor and she becomes a surprise favorite. Or he’s her Watcher (in either canon’s setting.)
--- Requested ship: James T. Kirk (Star Trek Prime Timeline)/Buffy Summers (BTVS TV) (Buffy hurt)
They’re two of a kind, in a way. They’re warm, friendly people-loving people who try to be strong and compassionate leaders and do good, and they go through some weird, terrible shit. But with totally different contexts—he’s a captain, this is part of his chosen career and he’s recognized for his performance of his duty, with a support system to go with it. Buffy’s support system is what she can find with her friends and family, who were that first before they were her teammates in world-saving, and there’s no societal support for her life, no resources for her to fall back on to help her in trauma and other times of need—which are pretty much ongoing. How would it be to put them together? Time travel is canon in Star Trek; what if Jim goes back to the Sunnydale era and finds himself in Sunnydale, unable to help feeling empathy for her or getting involved in some life-saving? Or she goes forward in time—magic shenanigans, or she’s immortal in some way after the Slayer spell and still hunts demons in the future, or she’s frozen like Khan was—and Buffy, with a future even more open than it seemed in Chosen (if also bittersweet because of the loss of her loved ones from the show), gets up to adventures with him while exploring the galaxy? Or you could do a fusion in which one of them is AU’d into the setting of the other. How does Buffy do having to slay and have a life in space—would she be interested in joining Starfleet, can she make it with her life, or does she go out on her own, or relying on other people’s resources? Or maybe she doesn’t have to slay at all, she’s just another person out there dealing with weird things, as Star Trek characters do. Maybe Jim is part of the Initiative program, or its successor group which Riley joins in canon. Also, he is reportedly a book nerd in the Academy, and college is when Buffy got to start flourishing academically and in terms of her seeming to take pleasure in her studies before she had to drop out, so there could be cute stuff with that in an AU which puts them in the same setting!
--- Requested ship: Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Buffy Summers (BTVS) (Buffy hurt)
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…
Star Wars as an artifact of pop culture exists in the Buffyverse. I'm fine if you want to handwave that away or if you want it to remain so, however you handle it. maybe Once Upon a Time it, with there being different Realms of Story, from which Buffy characters and Star Wars characters are pulled to live in the real world. Or Jumanji it, where characters from either canon are stuck in the other and have to deal with all the rules until they get out.

--- Requested ship: Spock (Star Trek DIS)/Nyota Uhura (Star Trek TOS) (Uhura hurt)
I really love the dynamic in TOS, and wonder how it might be if Uhura were around a Spock who’s both younger and more vulnerable because of all that’s happening around this time in his life? The troubled one who’s willing to tell Michael he finds he likes expressing his emotions, but is also still messed up by the kind of things his sister told him when they were children? He’s a bit pricklier here, though of course a lot of that is seen with Michael. Uhura’s an observant person with a light touch when it comes to interpersonal dynamics; that is, my impression is she knows to reach people, even people who on the surface might not seem easily reached. How close would she be to who she is by the time of TOS, and what would they make of each other?

Again, thank you so much, and I wish you a positive exchange experience!
I am so excited for this exchange. Thank you in advance for being willing to create for me! I hope this letter is of help, if you should want any, but please don't feel bound to any prompts. I'd be so happy with anything that fit my requests as they are in the signup. This is a bit of a Frankenstein letter, with some things from older letters and some new thing; if any section is longer or shorter, it doesn't matter. I want every relationship and every configuration in here, so much.
These are all fic requests.

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

Original Spock was marooned for a long time, it makes me so sad. I really like the vibe of surety and warmth he has, but he must be dealing with a lot, in a totally different way from this universe's Spock; and then it must be so weird for the other two, to get a glimpse of what their lives might've been like. How do you navigate who you are to each other, when you add a whole timeline's worth of a different past to the mix? It would just be so interesting to see what that looks like with them together. Especially when you have young Uhura and Spock in a nice established relationship with normal-for-them things to work through, and you add older Spock who's lived his life and has more experience with how to handle his feelings.

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

--- Requested ship: Michael Burnham/Spock (hurt Michael)
Why do I watch prequels when they hurt me? He wanted to follow her! He was going to do it and then he couldn’t. And even when they were fighting, he was so self-conscious about the beard when she caught him off-guard—it was so cute. After a whole season of her trying to help him and they started to reconnect, and him being supportive with the chess, and her punching Leland, and the big speech at the end because he wanted to watch her back personally; I am so sad.
I am willing to receive more sadness! Not bleak stuff, but the bittersweetness and hope of the ending we got. I’m also willing to receive fluff, and them trying to take care of each other. Fix-its in which they reconcile sooner, or he does go with her, a missing scene if you can find a place to put it, maybe a conversation about what their plans to go will do to their parents because holy shit. Or childhood backstory, maybe from before Michael did her thing to isolate herself from Spock for his own good; or maybe she doesn’t make that decision this time, and they can be a little happier. Frozen AU/fusion, because Michael is Elsa and Spock is Anna. I like the idea of her shaving his beard instead of him doing it himself. Maybe pon farr is a thing Michael ends up helping him with…possibly even before they can reconcile, for the angst.
--- Requested ship: Michael Burnham/Ash Tyler | Voq (Michael hurt)
I love how much these two run the gamut. Their early relationship is so sweet, so caring and empathetic with just a little awkwardness because it's Michael. They go through being stuck in the mirror universe together...and then Ash isn't quite who they both thought he was and it's so messed up for them both. The quiet start to reconciling themselves to what happened at the end of season one was so good, and despite my enjoyment of season two I was sad we didn't get to see more of them together. I'd love anything, whether canon divergence AUs where they get to spend more time together or he goes with her into the future, or canon compliant missing scenes.

Gah, the tragedy, the star-crossedness of it all. They loved the other versions of themselves, and these new people are different, but somehow, they still are people who they love. And they accept it, but then deny its power over them to an extent, and they find themselves in opposition—and Georgiou tries to kill her mother to have Michael to herself, of all things—but she also goes and follows Michael into the unknown future. I love it, and I love Michael not being able to betray her, but using her love for her to get Georgiou to back off when she needs to, putting her life in her hands, and then not trusting her later because hello, logic. I’d love to see a tug of war between them, more conversations and poking at each other and mutual recognition of the emotions which exist between them and how they’re both willing to use them, but still value each other.
--- Requested ship: Michael Burnham & Philippa Georgiou (hurt Michael)
I love so much that Philippa is how Michael connects to her human side after that complicated childhood on Vulcan, and how she can self-actualize through her; how it interacts with her existing issues and leads to her betrayal is so fraught and juicy. She matters to her so much, and Philippa regarded her so highly, and the have a bond that spans actual universes. Anything—missing scenes, backstory, an alternate universe where Philippa doesn’t die—would be loved.

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

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

Crossover Fandom:
--- Requested ship: Spock (Star Trek Prime Timeline)/Buffy Summers (BTVS TV) (Buffy hurt)
I like the potential vibes of this! Buffy is blatantly guided by her heart and uses it, but—struggle with accepting this thing which was thrust on her notwithstanding—she’s committed to saving people, she’s willing to sacrifice and bears the weight, containing so much pain inside her to be strong for others. And she can be a pretty observant, intuitive person with people, and so empathetic and protective. Spock is so professional and level-headed, but he does have that deep well of feeling he keeps contained, because he understands he should, and a loneliness despite being among close friends which I think they could be able to recognize in each other. Buffy has a habit of being in quiet moments and talks with guys who get where she’s at even if they have different angles: Giles, Angel, Spike. And Spock doesn’t quite have the habit, but you see him being able to connect to Zarabeth as she shares her loneliness, external factors making that easier for him notwithstanding. They both know, for different reasons, something about what it’s like to walk in two worlds and try to live a life in which their whole selves can be fulfilled instead of denied. Plus, they both died a sacrificial death only to be brought back by determined friends. He’s the logic guy, but he also respects and values people who operate a little differently—I feel like Buffy is a little like Jim. And Spock is a little like both Giles and Angel, with the researching and the curiosity about new things plus that one time he quoted Byron, and the deep well of emotion he keeps in check. Not to mention the pon farr thing, which is different from Angel’s worry about losing his soul and wanting to find peace in her, but...it’s still related to the potential danger of instinct taking over, and their fear and shame of such a thing happening. And I can’t help but compare Jim being willing to get beat up to help Spock and then faking his death, with the resulting distress on Spock’s side and his willingness to get punished afterwards, to Buffy making a feverish Angel bite her and drain her to save him, and Angel’s resulting distress at his lack of control and wanting to remove himself from Sunnydale even further as his worst fears were confirmed. (This is optional of course, but I’ll mention it because it’s where this line of thought got me: if you want to do Kirk/Spock/Buffy instead of either Jim/Buffy or Buffy/Spock, you totally can.)
As for the logistics—there’s canon time travel in Star Trek. Buffy might see him in her context of demons, because that’s what she knows, but she’s capable of recognizing this doesn’t mean she needs to hurt him pretty quickly: see Angel after the initial post-kiss shock, and Oz. Or she goes forward in time—magic shenanigans, or she’s immortal in some way after the Slayer spell and still hunts demons in the future, or she’s frozen like Khan was—and Buffy, with a future even more open than it seemed in Chosen (if also bittersweet because of the loss of her loved ones from the show), gets up to adventures with him while exploring the galaxy? Or you could do a fusion in which one of them is AU’d into the setting of the other. How does Buffy do having to slay and have a life in space—would she be interested in joining Starfleet, can she make it with her life, or does she go out on her own, or relying on other people’s resources? Or maybe she doesn’t have to slay at all, she’s just another person out there dealing with weird things, as Star Trek characters do. As for AU’ing Spock into this setting—maybe he’s trapped in this dimension, or he/his family had to flee their home, or they ended up estranged something like in canon, and he’s got to hide himself to blend into this human society which is so much more backwards than in the TOS future, causing angst. If you want to add some mentor/mentee dynamic to it, maybe he’s a college/Starfleet Academy professor and she becomes a surprise favorite. Or he’s her Watcher (in either canon’s setting.)
--- Requested ship: James T. Kirk (Star Trek Prime Timeline)/Buffy Summers (BTVS TV) (Buffy hurt)
They’re two of a kind, in a way. They’re warm, friendly people-loving people who try to be strong and compassionate leaders and do good, and they go through some weird, terrible shit. But with totally different contexts—he’s a captain, this is part of his chosen career and he’s recognized for his performance of his duty, with a support system to go with it. Buffy’s support system is what she can find with her friends and family, who were that first before they were her teammates in world-saving, and there’s no societal support for her life, no resources for her to fall back on to help her in trauma and other times of need—which are pretty much ongoing. How would it be to put them together? Time travel is canon in Star Trek; what if Jim goes back to the Sunnydale era and finds himself in Sunnydale, unable to help feeling empathy for her or getting involved in some life-saving? Or she goes forward in time—magic shenanigans, or she’s immortal in some way after the Slayer spell and still hunts demons in the future, or she’s frozen like Khan was—and Buffy, with a future even more open than it seemed in Chosen (if also bittersweet because of the loss of her loved ones from the show), gets up to adventures with him while exploring the galaxy? Or you could do a fusion in which one of them is AU’d into the setting of the other. How does Buffy do having to slay and have a life in space—would she be interested in joining Starfleet, can she make it with her life, or does she go out on her own, or relying on other people’s resources? Or maybe she doesn’t have to slay at all, she’s just another person out there dealing with weird things, as Star Trek characters do. Maybe Jim is part of the Initiative program, or its successor group which Riley joins in canon. Also, he is reportedly a book nerd in the Academy, and college is when Buffy got to start flourishing academically and in terms of her seeming to take pleasure in her studies before she had to drop out, so there could be cute stuff with that in an AU which puts them in the same setting!
--- Requested ship: Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Buffy Summers (BTVS) (Buffy hurt)
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…
Star Wars as an artifact of pop culture exists in the Buffyverse. I'm fine if you want to handwave that away or if you want it to remain so, however you handle it. maybe Once Upon a Time it, with there being different Realms of Story, from which Buffy characters and Star Wars characters are pulled to live in the real world. Or Jumanji it, where characters from either canon are stuck in the other and have to deal with all the rules until they get out.

--- Requested ship: Spock (Star Trek DIS)/Nyota Uhura (Star Trek TOS) (Uhura hurt)
I really love the dynamic in TOS, and wonder how it might be if Uhura were around a Spock who’s both younger and more vulnerable because of all that’s happening around this time in his life? The troubled one who’s willing to tell Michael he finds he likes expressing his emotions, but is also still messed up by the kind of things his sister told him when they were children? He’s a bit pricklier here, though of course a lot of that is seen with Michael. Uhura’s an observant person with a light touch when it comes to interpersonal dynamics; that is, my impression is she knows to reach people, even people who on the surface might not seem easily reached. How close would she be to who she is by the time of TOS, and what would they make of each other?
