[Eddie first meets Richie while heās stalking a gaffer and would-be comedian from the sitcom Richie has a guest role in.
Okay, that sounds bad. Letās step back: Eddie first meets Richie while heās on the jobāa disgruntled wife had come to Eddie saying that she was pretty sure her husband was sneaking around behind her back, fucking other girls on the sly. She wanted Eddie to track her wayward hubby down and take pictures of him in flagrante, and she had a pretty hefty advance, so Eddie had taken the job. Heās a pretty good private investigator if he does say so himselfāhe never gets lost even in the sprawl of New York City, which means he can tail someone without getting shaken off for long. And this guy, right, he heads to the Comedy Cellar and goes up onstage. Gets crickets in response.
During that painful routine, someone comes up and asks Eddie if this seatās taken. Eddie looks up, and thatās the first time he meets Richie Tozierāsix feet tall, eyes to die for, and a smile that makes Eddieās breath catch in his throat, sends his thoughts spinning off the rails and the job. He doesnāt catch the gaffer with his pants down, at least not that day.
Richie does, however, catch Eddieās phone number.
Itās a day or so after he delivers the pictures of the gaffer (indeed he was fucking someone, a Starbucks barista ten years younger than the wife) that he and Richie start texting each other. From thereon out, he keeps texting Richie while heās on the job: tracking down people to serve court summons, trying to find a runaway, taking pictures of more spouses cheating on their significant others. Itās a nice break from the tedium and the soul-crushing view of betrayal after betrayal.
Tonight, heās sitting across the street in a parked car, waiting for his latest quarry to leave the bar. To his surprise, Richie comes out, and he quickly yanks out his phone to text him.]
fancy seeing you here, Rich. donāt look for me, Iām working right now but seriously what the hell are you doing here???
1. Modern Highschool AU: I often think of Azula as preppy but not as popular as people think she is. Class President sure but still socially awkward? Athletic, embarrassed by her part time job at a cafe.
2. Magical Girl or Superhero AU: Princess Blue Dragon, a heroine/villainess depending on the setting. Originally created from a Magical Madoka AU but there's plenty of other Magical Girl or superhero settings to pull from.
3. Avatar world but Azula joins the Gaang instead of Zuko.
[Things went haywire. Lets do this now, feel free to change the prose if you want.]
[Ben was, in theory, from Coruscant. But he had spent most of his life on the Millennium Falcon with his father, Han Solo, and his Uncle Chewie (yes the wookie). Some rumors stated that Han couldn't handle the life that Leia Organa led with the senate, the expectations that came with. Or that he was tired of playing second string. Or Leia didn't want to be a mother.
It was none of those things.
It was to keep Ben safe. Safe from the remnants of the Sith that were after him.
Currently he was walking from his sleeping area to where he knew he could find his father. In the general lounge area. He ran a hand through his sleep tousled hair as he stepped in.]
