Star Wars: All Types of Love Week

A week dedicated to Love and Star Wars!

[starwarsalltypesoflove]

And so the event has come to an end. Our thanks to everyone who participated in Star Wars: All Types of Love week! All the fic and art shared and created for this event has been lovely, and we are overjoyed to have been able to celebrate some of the many less often represented types of love together with you.

Hosting this event has been the highlight of the month for us, and we hope to host it again next year, same time.

Post-Mission Support

Sometimes, after a bad mission, the best thing to do is to seek out friends who understand. Written for Fandom Empire Prompt Tables 2024 - Prompt: "Write a ficlet" and @starwarsalltypesoflove week - Prompt: "Pragma"

It wasn’t a premonition that had Mace getting out the tea kettle, but the Force likely did aid him in the timing, as he was just taking it off the heat as the door to his quarters slid open, and Qui-Gon walked in and sank onto one of the round cushions.

Mace didn’t ask if it had been a rough mission; it was obvious in the tenseness of the Force pulled around Qui-Gon, and in the weariness spilling out. It took a lot to rattle Qui-Gon, but Mace knew that he’d get the full details when he and Obi-Wan gave their mission report.

For now, tea.

He offered a cup to Qui-Gon, who accepted it with wordless gratitude, before sitting down with his own cup. For a few moments they sat in steady silence, Qui-Gon’s tension slowly easing.

“I told the Council that this mission was ill-advised,” he said, eventually.

“You did,” Mace agreed. “But it had to happen, and there is no other pair of Jedi who could have handled it better.”

“You haven’t heard our mission report yet.”

“It won’t change my opinion in that regard.”

Qui-Gon lifted his cup and drank from it, before exhaling softly.

“Obi-Wan handled himself well,” he conceeded. “And we did what we could.”

“That’s all anyone can ask.”

Qui-Gon smiled. “Bold words from you, my friend. How often have I had to remind you of the same? And I’m sure if I asked Yoda, he could name many times more.”

It was true. One’s efforts never felt like enough, sometimes, when missions went south. The trap of self-recrimination was a difficult one to escape – at least on one’s own. That was why these moments shared over tea in the aftermath were so valuable.

“And Obi-Wan?” Mace asked, after a hum of agreement.

“With his own friends,” Qui-Gon said. “They’re what he needs right now.”

Mace understood that as well – after all, he and Qui-Gon had done the same, as padawans. There were times when you confided in your master, and there were times when you confided in your peers.

There was no shortage of people to turn to, in the Temple. Everyone needed support, and everyone offered it. Their shared duty and calling, and both the joy and hardship that came with it, was something they all understood.

And so they took these quiet moments together, to center themselves, and go back out into the world, ready to face its ills again – but never alone.

Summary:

The one with the tattoo saw her first. His eyes widened, and he squeezed the other’s shoulder. “Hey. We’ve got to go.”

“Oh!” He whirled around— hair fanning out so she could see there were indeed some lovely curls in the underlayer— and backed away, hands up and open, smiling at her the same way she smiled at upset clients. “Sorry, ma’am. We thought you were closed. We didn’t touch your window, we didn’t mean to disturb anything. We’ll leave now.”

Before she could think twice about it, she asked, “What do you usually do with your hair?”

Promise of Spring

Bail invites Obi-Wan to take a break from post-war rebuilding efforts to celebrate Alderaan's first day of spring. Written for Fandom Empire Prompt Tables 2024 - Prompt: "Spring Equinox" and Star Wars: All Types of Love Week - Prompt: "Philia" and StarWars100 - Prompt: "Peace"

Read on AO3

Bail waited patiently as the ramp extended from the ship and the door opened. Obi-Wan emerged, smiling and arms spread wide as he approached Bail.

“I know it’s midsummer on Coruscant,” Bail said as he returned the hug. “But I’m glad you could make it for Alderaan’s First of Spring celebration.”

“As am I,” Obi-Wan said. “Though I can’t say I’ve been on Coruscant much lately.”

“Recovery efforts going well, then? I haven’t seen you since the project on Malastare.”

“As well as they can be,” he said. “It takes far longer to rebuild than to destroy, I’m afraid. Your efforts in the Senate are appreciated, but funding can only do so much.”

Bail understood. He’d been on site on plenty of post-war efforts too, and seen the ruined cities and ravaged countrysides; the grief and unease and distrust, all the worse for the knowledge that each side had been betrayed from the onset.

“Come,” Bail said. “We can discuss work later. Today is a day of celebration, and I know you’ll enjoy the festivities.”

Obi-Wan listened attentively as Bail took him around the city and explained the traditions of their celebration of spring. The climate of Alderaan was, of course, such that the beginning of spring still looked much like winter, and the cold air bit at their faces as they walked, offset by the warmth of sharing in celebration with his people and with his friend.

But though the day still resembled winter, the promise of those warmer, vibrant days was evident throughout in the vast displays of traditional artwork and craftsmanship, depicting flowers and rain and sunshine, and in the lively dances and the street performances, in the laughter and singing.

A reminder that they had survived the terrible, cold winter, and that life would grow again.

Forgot to @starwarsalltypesoflove !

[coline7373]

Ludus: playfull love, made of dancing, flirting and lighthearted things.

My last piece for @starwarsalltypesoflove !!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Thank you to everyone who participated and enjoyed!!!

This one is dedicated to blackkat and their fic The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Time-Travelers.

It is not, actually, a scene of the fic. But @blackkatmagic is constantly do the Lord's work by putting front and center characters and/or ship that aren't popular, yet amazing all the same.

Mace/Five has two works on ao3. Two (2)!!!

That's it.

But, by God, do they make it count!

In the spirit of the swatolv event, spreading the love on amazing things that don't have as much spotlight the rest of the year, this ship was always in the plans when I started my fills.

I hope you enjoy this fill at least half as much as I did the fic!!!!!

Many thanks and cheers to my partner in sw crimes @thesunlikehoney with whom I made the event!

Summary:

The ruins of the AT-TE’s various motors lay scattered across the engine room, some parts destroyed but some salvageable, if he had a month or three to sort and clean and repair it all properly. Reassembling the engines would be another lengthy but indeterminate quantity of time.

Well. He had time, now.

Rex and Ahsoka start a project as they contemplate their past and their future.

Another one for @starwarsalltypesoflove week!!! We are halfway through and so far it’s been a blast looking though my work to see what I’ve got to contribute. This is… undefined but potentially soon to be fully embraced queerplantonic something. Pragma, perhaps.

Sketches of Those the Empire Demanded You Forget

In the face of Imperial cruelty, an artist remembers its victims. Written for Fandom Empire Prompt Tables 2024 - Prompt: "Keeper" and Star Wars: All Types of Love Week (@starwarsalltypesoflove) - Prompt: "Agape"

As you can probably tell, I don't like coming up with names for characters. I will continue to avoid doing so as much as possible.

He’d never actually met a Jedi.

He’d heard plenty of them, of course – living on Coruscant, even on the distant lower levels, it’d be hard not to have heard any tales of them, true or not. There were always rumors, good and bad. Jedi had busted a trafficking ring three levels down, they said. Jedi had used their terrible sorcery to trick and rob some honest workers, they said. They saw a Jedi catch some kid falling from a speeder far above, they said. No one knew that guy who’d won the last street race, he must’ve been a Jedi in disguise, they said.

But he’d never met one, not directly.

He’d seen one, once.

His neighbors had had a child – well, they had had several children, actually, but one of them had been...different. And somehow, that family had managed to contact the Jedi Temple, or the Jedi had known, somehow, and either way, a Jedi had shown up.

His neighbors had been so proud that their little girl had gone off to be a Jedi, even as some people scoffed and muttered comments of “must be glad for less mouths to feed, I suppose.”

They hadn’t taken the news well.

The Empire had taken their objections even worse.

He didn’t have to wait long. The even click-thud of Lieutenant Thorn’s stride emerged from the mess, just as the lieutenant himself passed the hall. Fox reached out and snagged his pauldron.

Thorn twitched violently and then whirled around, one hand dropping to his blaster but the other rising in a neat salute. “Commander! Hi! I mean hello! Um. Hello, sir.”

Hm. Thorn was getting used to him.

This is a recent fic I’m posting for @starwarsalltypesoflove week long celebration! It’s a messy mix of like three different kinds of love that Fox is not happy to be feeling for his troops, lol.

Here's some queerplatonic obikin :D

Summary: Anakin went to some small town, met a wonderful woman and fell in love during the Christmas holidays, so now he's going to move close to his new girlfriend, far from the city he lives in. Which means leaving his best friend behind. Because that's how the movies go, right?

Or, Anakin realises that Obi-Wan is more important than romance.

[sky-kenobye]

Reblogging this fic for the Star Wars All Types of Love Week (@starwarsalltypesoflove)!

(Not sure the familial stuff is background enough but since they pretty much only speak about Anakin's (platonic) feelings for Obi-Wan I think it's okay?)
