[ similarly aged characters preferred with the exception of ( highlight for spoilers/click to skip )bucky, because that post credit stinger got me shipping them highkey and I remain trashy. age-up friendly. ]
(No 6 or 9. Ships are in the profile. Kinks and squicks are in the journal.)
( lonette's a loyal, long-suffering "girl you've got back home" kinda dame, the one you can take home to mother and will be by your side through thick and thin. also, she's from the 1940s. pretty much. it's complicated. )
[Back on the ship, Rey's restlessness came back full force and she found herself once again roaming halls at odd hours. Her days were no longer filled with moments on the bridge, listening in as Hux spoke minor strategy or watching as he stalked from one end of the bridge to the other with his hands behind his back, gazing at the various screens in front of his officers. It wasn't something she'd been aware she'd done with avid attention until she was no longer doing it.
Instead, she spends hours upon hours in the training arena with Ren, practicing with her saber or breaking through the minds of young recruits. It's tiring for her, something she's not used to; that and consistently resisting Ren's advances into her own mind ensure that she naps when she can, which leads to her odd nighttime habits. The aches she feels run bone deep, reminding her of her longest days on Jakku, when scavaging had been new to her, before she'd learned pacing and how to use her staff to find those unsteady places to avoid injury.
In a way, it's a reason to avoid Hux, as if she needed one. The conversation they'd had in her tent replays in her mind more often than she wants to admit. His rejection of her, despite the fact that he'd initiated their second kiss - it shouldn't sting, but it does. It's only late at night, listening to the hum of his ship, he hum she'd teased him about, that she doesn't quite manage to convince herself that it's for the best.
Enemies, she reminds herself as she passes him one day in the hall, limping on her way back from yet another session with the Supreme Leader. She remembers what he said about Ren and she remembers every time she steps into practice. Still, the sight of Hux makes something ache in her chest, something she tamps down hard before stepping into her quarters. The last look over her shoulder? Unnecessary and yet, she does it, because it's easier to cause herself that pain than ignore it and wonder later.]

[ I love assumed CR, crossovers (♥ ♥ ♥), convoluted scenarios, combustive attraction, bickering, first times, culture differences, ingenue/gruff, worldly man, inhuman characters, Beauty and the Beast dynamics because duh, arranged marriage AUs, fairy tale/fantasy settings, magic, passionate reunions, sneaky trysts, risk of discovery, emotions spilling out in private, and much, much more.
Ridiculously into Tolkienverse (dwarves yes pls), ASOIAF/GOT, HP (my kingdom for a Newt Scamander or Lupin), and MCU right now and equally into AUing Belle to fit in any of them, but check out my slightly embarrassing dream list of shit I'd like to play.
negl, I'm always on the lookout to play against Thorin (from The Hobbit), as it's my little crack crossover-OTP-that-could. I have some ideas if that piques your curiosity.
Obviously, everyone's welcome, however! ]

[So we all know her story. I don't ship her with Mamoru as much as I do others, but I'm not entirely against it either. For the sake of this meme, though, no Mamo-chans~ Here for all the Motokis, Seiyas and Harukas. Open to cross-canon as well. Assumed CR is just fine with me. We can do something in your world or hers.]
