Captain 2187 AUs where everything is the same except that ’87 sees a handprint on a helmet and his eyes fill with blood. He looks out on Jakku and sees the fire and the carnage like a red sunset on dark water and he’s ready to get wet. It’s not about the call to serve, not about punishing the insurgents who shot his friend—no, in that moment, he just wants to kill. Later, when his heart resumes beating and they’re pinning a red medal to his chest, he slips out of the battle-trance and wonders what it’ll mean to be Captain. The honor sits heavy on his head, neck, spine…a pressure like deep water. It’s not uncomfortable. Just present, where it wasn’t before.
Dark!Stormpilot AUs where Poe is a reckless TIE Fighter Pilot, spiraling downward toward death in the line. The only thing keeping him tethered to the world is a Stormtrooper fetish a mile wide (or a mile and a half—how long is the Finalizer again?) When he meets ’87 everything changes, because the kid is a hot mark marksman who knows just how to deal with his bullshit. They live for each other. They’d die for each other. It’s them against the world.
And Finnlo! Or Darktrooper? I don’t even know if there’s a shipname for Finn/Kylo. How is there not? When they mirror each other so completely? When they have such an ambiguous and catalytic emotional connection? Two lost men looking for a sense of belonging, struggling with fear…trying to develop a sense of self under the crushing atmosphere of discipline and war. Two sad knights wondering when they’ll be called. Muscles, aggression, force-choking, hair-pulling. Helmets on, helmets off.
Dark!Finnrey AUs where Rey goes dark and drags a Force-Sensitive Finn with her. Scrappy sand orphans with sultry, sith-yellow eyes. Sithy eyes that see how to die a dozen times and still read the ruinous secrets written on the void of space. Yellow gold dark-side honey eyes.
Imperial AUs where Luke joined Vader, the Emperor’s reign never ended, and Finn and Rey grew up under the Imperial regime. The Rebellion still exists as a small group of ragtag radicals employing guerilla warfare. From separate corners of the galaxy, Finn and Rey both enroll voluntarily at the same Imperial Academy. Rey is a prodigy TIE-pilot and Finn is her gunner. They’re so excited to graduate and cleanse the galaxy of Rebel scum; they take an important Commander prisoner on their very first mission…and he’d never break, Commander Dameron, but these two children have made him their kriffing personal project…
More later. Send me more.
