My Dear Yoda Letter
Dear Author,
Thank you so much for writing for me! I am sure that anything you come up with will be wonderful! I don’t have many 'dislikes' and you are free to include pretty much anything you need to tell the story the way you like it. This said, the purpose of this letter is to provide some ideas and, hopefully, encourage a plot bunny to pop up and head off. But if nothing of it is of any help, feel free to run with your own idea. However, please, don't include my do-not-wants.
Do Not Want: Friend or lover betrayal (unless it's canon), cheating, break up fic between/among the requested characters, gen or pre-slash, het about my requested characters, one-sided or unresolved feelings, fic ending with completely hopeless mood.
I do love: any kind of shippy fic about my pairings, though especially first times. ♥ I’m also a sucker for all the hurt/comfort scenarios, especially when the character is (or both them are) put through the wringer! I’m also happy with any rating at all! I enjoy canon compliant fic as well as divergent canon AUs, or maybe different role/role reversal AUs, like, IDK, for example smuggler Luke and Senator or Rebel Lando? Sounds intriguing! Ex-storm trooper Lando and Rebel Finn or smuggler Poe?? Wonderful!
"Blasters are for suckers, people with no imagination."
Lando is clearly the common denominator, here. I love about him that he thinks he can con his way out of any tight situation and he'll take that path over a fight, despite however small the odds of him succeeding are. This means (and it have meant, alas) that no matter what, sometimes things are prone to turn out badly. I’d like to read about either option: of him succeeding, and maybe getting the lady (or rather the boy in this case) in the process, or of him failing and having his man saving his ass (or he having to save his man’s ass? Whichever you want, either option sounds nice!) Sounds like many puns could be done with the latter, though. :p I’m good with a story exploring it literally, where everything begins with Lando (or the other man of the pair) needing to be rescued from being ravished by some dudes he’s not interested to, for exaple. It sounds intriguing. ;)

o Lando Calrissian/Luke Skywalker
Canon shows both Luke and Lando as optimistic guys and great pals to be friends with, but I also love they have very different approaches at both situations and people.
Luke trusted Lando even while he knew about him having sold Han to the Empire. I’d absolutely love to read a first time story, maybe set in between V and VI episodes, for instance? Where Lando and Luke get to know each other while planning Han’s rescue and, maybe they have sex a first time as a form of tension release, or maybe Lando tries to charm Luke and it's him the one ending up charmed instead? Or maybe it’s that Lando tries hard and fails to get Leia and Chewbacca’s forgiveness and Luke is sorry for him, and this prompts him to get closer? Feel free to dismiss my suggestion to set the story in between the movies, if you have other in mind. :)
Or maybe a divergent canon scenario where Luke, Leia, Han etc rescue Lando from the Imperial claws, and there's painful but certain recovery after. Maybe it's that they messed up Lando's mind and Luke is needed almost 24/7 as Force sensitive in order to help him to recover? IDK. Any other better way that you think would work to get them together sounds great too, if you have other in mind. :)
Or else, there’s a list of short prompts, likes and tropes above, I put them there in the hopes any of them may help your writer muse.
o Lando Calrissian/Lobot
I love how different and yet how tight and loyal they are to each other! It's one of my favorite things about them. I adore the friendship Lando and Lobot share! I’ve collected the comics and love the story, but I admit the first time I was intrigued about them was while re-watching (for the nth time, I’m sure) the Original Trilogy, so the comics focusing so much on them and how important their friendship was before OT was such a nice surprise!
Still, they made me crave for all the fix-it fic, with an happy ending where they get back everything that they got lost, and it makes them find that maybe there’s more than friendship to their relationship (I’m being vague in the event you haven’t read but want to acquire the books - I hope that wasn’t too spoilering :S)! I'll be thrilled with it!
But if you aren’t familiar with the comics canon, I’m also totally fine with a prequel or a post canon story based only on the movie canon, though the movies tell us so little about Lobot especially, alas; or maybe a divergent canon AU where everything happens differently, like for example Lobot taking off with Lando when the Empire take possession of Cloud City, and things start there? What if they got to get married to each other for some advantage they would get doing so while on Cloud City or later/earlier, but they never actually consummated their marriage, and either of them (Lobot?) sets to change that?
Or maybe a scenario where Lando rescues Lobot from the Imperial claws, and there's painful but certain recovery after, and he's not leaving his pal's side this time? Or any other better way that you think would work to get them together, if you have other in mind. :)
Or else, there’s a list of short prompts, likes and tropes above, I put them there in the hopes any of them may help your writer muse.
o Lando Calrissian/Poe Dameron
They are both charming, optimistic guys and great pals to be friends with, and the idea of them together put a smile on my face. I'd totally love to see them interacting, in canon or otherwise, as I feel they would have great chemistry. I'm cool if that happens linearly, with an older Lando who maybe shows him the ropes and teaches the young Rebel some tricks? Poe gives him something in return that Lando didn't know he needed. I hope this doesn't conflict too much with Poe's comics (I haven't read them, though I'm hoping to fix this soon), anyway feel free to follow or dismiss comics canon as you like, I don't mind either. :)
Or else, they get to meet each other through time travel, with Lando accidentally travelling in the Future maybe, and Poe coming to his aid? But I'm OK with the other way around, with Poe getting stranded to any earlier time, when Lando was younger and used smuggling in order to repay his debt, or maybe when he was on Cloud City, or later during his time with the Rebellion? Or a divergent canon AU where the timeline is meshed together? I’d absolutely love to read a first time story for any of the above options. :) Does Lando tries to charm Poe and it's him the one ending up charmed instead? Or maybe it’s that Lando tries hard and fails to get back to his time and Poe feels sorry for him, and this prompts him to get closer? Feel free to dismiss my suggestions, if they don't work for you or if you have other in mind. :)
I'd also love read a scenario where Poe rescues Lando from the Imperial claws, and there's painful but certain recovery after. Maybe it's that there's no one of Lando's friends there and Poe doesn't feel like to leave Lando's alone with his pain? IDK. Any other better way that you think would work to get them together sounds great too, if you have other in mind. :)
Or else, there’s a list of short prompts, likes and tropes above, I put them there in the hopes any of them may help your writer muse.
o Lando Calrissian/Finn
Finn is absolutely adorable and one of my new favorite characters, and I'd totally love to see Lando and him interacting, in canon or otherwise. They are very different characters with different background and this I find it intriguing, with Lando knowledgeable of the ticks and tacks of the Galaxy, and Finn who started to explore it outside the claws of the Empire. I'm cool if they get to meet linearly, with an older Lando who maybe shows Finn the ropes and teaches him some tricks? And Finn gives him something in return that Lando didn't know he needed, or that he thought he wouldn't have got anymore.
Or else, they get to meet each other through time travel, with Lando accidentally travelling in the Future maybe, and Finn coming to his aid? But I'm OK with the other way around, with Finn getting stranded to any earlier time, when Lando was younger and used smuggling in order to repay his debt, or maybe when he was on Cloud City, or later during his time with the Rebellion? Or a divergent canon AU where the timeline is meshed together?

Or maybe it’s that Lando tries hard and fails to get back to his time and Finn feels sorry for him, and this prompts him to get closer? Feel free to dismiss my suggestions, if they don't work for you or if you have other in mind. :)
I'd also enjoy a scenario where it's Lando the one staying to Finn's bedside and helping the young man through his recovery? Or the other way around, with Finn saving Lando from the Imperial claws, and there's painful but certain recovery after. Maybe it's that there's no one of Lando's friends there and Finn doesn't feel like to leave Lando's alone with his pain? IDK. Any other better way that you think would work to get them together sounds great too, if you have other in mind. :)
