Moodboard for a SamSteve Dragon Rider au

"Our love soars on the wings of dragons and burns brighter than their fire."

Here is an idea I've been sitting on for a while. Imagine sort of a Victorian, late 19th century, steampunk setting, in a world where dragons are real and coexist with humans. Not as intelligent as their human partners, dragons are used for transport, racing, or kept as pets. They bond to their riders and the pairs become inseperable.

Enter Sam Wilson, a young rider following in his late dad's footsteps to become a professional racer. His dragon Redwing is stabled at the Stark Farm, and one day, a mysterious newcomer with a golden dragon comes along. His name is Steve, and when his skittish dragoness freaks out, Sam is the one who manages to calm her down, since he has a natural way with the dragons. Steve immediately takes a liking to him, and Sam notices his dragon Saoirse has clipped wings and doesn't want to be housed in the barn with the other dragons. There's more to Steve than meets the eye, but besides trying to figure him out, Sam has his hands full with the upcoming racing season nearing the corner, and getting Redwing in shape for the yearly competition. This time, however, he's got his newfound friend at his side to help him along. Things get more complicated when he realises he might be fostering more than just friendly feelings towards Steve.

(As far as Redwing and Saoirse are concerned, they know their riders make each other happy, and they'll do anything in their dragon power to keep it that way. Tangling them together in their reins was a solid start, but the two cheeky dragons have more than their fair share of mischief stashed under their wings.)

The Force Has Forsaken Us

A samsteve Star Wars AU (post-Clone Wars/Early Empire era) because I’m trying to cope with real life politics. I’ve got a lot of twists and turns for this fic. I’m very excited! Hope you like it!

Breathe.

Samal Wilos pressed his eyes closed and brought his fingers to the bridge of his nose. Centered himself. The Force was an open and aching wound, burning deep in his chest. What was once a comforting omniscient presence now served only to hurt him. He inhaled and felt the resistance of a thousand sharp blades, exhaled and felt the weight of drowning.

The Force has forsaken us.

Sam threw back his head and stared up at the hazy red lights of this Lower City back alley. He was in the heart of the galaxy and Coruscant swarmed with soldiers ready to kill him. But not down here. Safe passage to the Outer Rim would give him a chance (but for how long?). Staying here meant being hunted down and slaughtered. The Force would guide him--whatever was left of it.

Sam shrugged out of the plain beige robes of his trade and finally got to his feet. His legs protested and ached, but he couldn’t rest here any longer. Standing with the fistful of fabric, unsure what to do, he quickly tore it to shreds and stamped it in a puddle of grease and grime. Stowed it in a dumpster.

The symbolism of such a gesture was not lost on Sam as he scowled and stalked out of the alleyway in his thin undershirt. Force be damned.

“Back off!”

Shouting from the nearest skywalk drew Sam’s attention. The scuffle was far enough away that Sam was certain only the Force had guided his ears to hear it. He ground his teeth together, clenched his jaw, decided why not? and started for the direction of the scuffle.

A small near-human stood with a blue shield-generator in one hand and a hydrospanner in the other, facing off with two Nikto thugs. The Force swarmed with anger around the near-human, devoid of fear, which caught Sam’s attention. He couldn’t explain it, but he felt drawn to that Force imprint. He trusted his instincts--it’s why he was alive and not shot dead at the Jedi Temple.

“Give us the droid and nobody has to die today,” one of the Nikto hissed.

The Nikto had Black Sun gang written all over them, and the near-human stood between them and an R5 droid. Sam instantly had an idea.

“There you are!” Sam called to the near-human. “I’ve been waiting for you to bring me this unit. Republic surplus droid, right?”

All eyes turned to Sam and he stood tall with his hands on his hips, surprising even himself with a pleasant smile.

“Uhh, sure,” said the near-human. “Republic droid. Right.”

“What?” one of the Nikto snapped.

“You risked a lot going up against CSF to get your hands on that droid for me.” Sam knew he was practically reading a bad crime drama script, and all he had to do to add some weight to his words was direct his attention to the two weaker-minded Nikto thugs. It’s all true.

“Fierfek.”

“Forget it! This Hutt-spawn can keep his Republic-marked droid. Let’s get out of here.”

Sam let out a barely audible sigh of relief as the Nikto retreated off of the skywalk and disappeared into the Lower City crowd. The near-human turned toward Sam fully, and Sam heard the R5 unit chirp.

“Who the hell are you?”

Sam should have expected the question, but he didn’t have an answer. “Someone looking for a friend.”

The other man lifted his chin at Sam and squared him up with the kind of scrutinizing gaze Sam imagined came from a life on these Lower City streets. He noticed the blue and red facial tattoos on the man’s cheeks and recognized him immediately as a Kiffar.

“You’re a Jedi.”

The bottom of Sam’s gut dropped and, recognizing his own fear, he steeled himself against it and quirked a brow.

“There’s a bounty on Jedi.”

“Looking to collect?” Sam asked, his tone dark and devoid of any previous friendliness.

“No. I’m doing just fine without handouts.” The young man deactivated his shield generator and looked down at his droid, who turned and angled its face back up at him. “You need a ride, don’t you?”

“If I stay here, I’ll likely die. Or worse.”

The young man smirked and pointed his hydrospanner at Sam. “You’re gonna need to stop looking like and acting like a Jedi if you want a ride with me, pal.”

Missed Connections

Samsteve AU where they first meet at a presidential debate viewing party at a bar in the village.

Sam came down from Harlem and Steve came up from Brooklyn to meet their friends in time to watch the debates. But they can barely get through the door because everyone in the village decided that bar was the place to be on a Sunday night. Since they are both stuck they decide to introduce themselves, talk and devise a way to get to their friends in the back.

They end up separating to their different tables for the night. Could’ve been seen as a missed opp but one of them posts about the other on missed connections…
