#in the works #to be written

Any recommendations for books that are similar to Identity in terms of subject matter and (great) writing style?

No but this is a flattering ask

What are Han and Leia’s biggest flaws that they see in themselves/in the other/in your opinion objectively?

I don’t know. Imma be honest, I don’t sit around and think about these things ubless I am actively working on a fic. And I change my assessment based on the story I’m writing.

How do you characterize Identity Leia vs Bloodstripes Leia? I love both and they are definitely different in coping mechanisms/Han relationship/etc

Thanks!

I don’t really know how to answer this. How do I characterize as in…is it hard for me to write different “versions” of a character? No, not really. Well, a little harder for me to vary Han.

In a literal sense of how did I “characterize” -? Bloodstripes Leia is more based on EU, to be frank, and is … softer and more confident, so to speak. Identity Leia has more intimate violence in her background (per me inserting it) and was also written when I was less mature and more prone to writing in dramatics.

What do you think the Identity kids’ talks about Vader were like? How old were they, how did they react? Ik it was common knowledge at that point but I would assume it would be a Thing.

The way I think of it, the family spoke openly of "Anakin Skywalker, who became Darth Vader" and referenced that in age appropriate ways throughout the kids life, and then as they got older and more cognizant of What That Would Mean, more complex talks ensued. But given Bail exists in this universe, no I don't think it was as much of a Thing in the sense they got to a certain age and had a talk, because they have "Leia's father" right there being their grandfather, plus all of the Naberries.

They just existed in a world where itw as mentioned and questions were answered based on what information the child's age dictated be given.

Ex:

Five year old: Anakin Skywalker was your father?

Leia/Han/Adult: Biologically, yes, but he didn't raise me and I didn't know him.

Child: He became Darth Vader? But Vader was an evil monster!

Leia/Han/Adult: Yes, sometimes people make very bad decisions and do bad things. They are their decisions, though.

etc, etc. Kids don't usually zero in on nuance until they're older and Han and Leia would have been prepared for that.

What’s Chewie up to in identity? I’m assuming he’s on planet, the falcon?

On planet doing his thing, regular visits to fam

What’s the four letter word in Bloodstripes chapter 5 that the paparazzi calls Leia when she’s with Vada that makes Han freak out?

cunt.

edit: I just re-read Bloodstripes, doesn’t Leia say this? “She told you someone called me a cunt, didn’t she?”

Dragged is such an amazing story. I’ve never seen this moment described in any fanfiction before yet it is such an illustrative one.

Thank you! I loved writing that one.

#it me

grappling w/ the fact that i did not recognize any (well, save one) commenters on my last new fic

I got a notification that you posted a new fic and I just wanted to thank you for Identity. I’m 25 now and that verse was so important to teach teenage me that I can be loved despite immense trauma that a partner could never even begin to relate to firsthand. I have sickle cell and spent most of my older teenage years reading Identity from a hospital bed and the way you write Leia has always resonated with me as someone who handles my trauma very quietly/without a therapist/etc.

Thank you 🩵💛 I think Leia resonates with so many people for so many reasons, I’m just happy to help bring that to written work.

You have no idea how excited I was to get an ao3 email update from you! In regards to Adjustments, this might be too different from the core of Identity, would you consider writing about Winter or Bail coping with the trauma of being trapped on the ship (I think you said it felt like a year passed for them)? I remember a line about Bail and Han talking about emerging from Carbonite and the similarities. Especially thinking about the mental state bail was in to tell Winter about Leias heritage.

Hey, thanks for the support and thanks for this input! It’s definitely something mentioned in the fic, and it would be a good fit for Adjustments. I won’t promise anything, but I’ll buy it with my notes and see if anything fully fledged comes to me.

Oh, and also I wrote this.

#smut

The 10th Alliance Decree is Posted.

#for some reason the link post post isn't working?

So, its just come to my attention that this fic - Adjustments - is unfinished. Its an anthology, so it was never on a posting schedule and it isn't something I abandoned, but I did think I had completed it with 5 stories, and I did not.

I'd like to, but I am pretty well done with going backwards in the Identity 'verse, so if any of you have any missing scenes you want to see from the time period in question, drop ideas.

(please don't request smut).

Just stoping by when rereading skin split open and saw your tumblr linked…not holding you to it but the possibility of a new story is so exciting!! Godspeed <3

Thanks for reading! Godspeed indeed…I get all inspired when I’m home and driving a lot but I’m back overseas now and … we’ll see if I actually write 😅

Not gonna lie "Identity" deviating from he canon heals my soul LOL! probably why I re read it so often. Always appreciate your writing!

:) :)

Yeah, its very clearly marked AU, mostly everything I write is, not sure where that becomes unclear for folks
