Every day in November, I'll be posting a one-shot to AO3 and linking it here. I like to start writing early so I can get a head start. 

Send me prompts! Here's a list to get you started, and I'll be posting more prompt lists as the weeks go on. Do me a solid and copy the whole prompt into your ask, not just a number.

I'll also take random prompts, not from a list. I like weird AUs, I like missing moments or different perspectives from canon, I like all sorts of things. I may do smut. I like shippy fic but I also like to explore other kinds of relationships (parent/child, siblings, friendship, enemies, etc) 

I don't promise to write every single prompt I get, but I'll sure take a crack at it. This month is for me to challenge myself with writing a lot of words but also actually finishing stories. 

I'll take:

Star Wars, specifically Rogue One/Andor, but I'll take OT and ST prompts too (ships: rebelcaptain and bix/brasso)

Jane Austen, for the six major novels (canon ships)

And new this year, I'm taking AtLA prompts (ship: Zutara). Let it be known that I never read any of the comics or supplemental novels, and I fizzled out on LoK, so I'm really just working off the original show. 

I don’t ship them personally, but this is just… well, words fail me. First off, I think some of these complainers need to see more theatre. Juliet is canonically 13 years old, two weeks off her 14th birthday. She is hardly ever played by someone of that age. And in Andor itself, Cassian is canonically 27 in season 1, but played by an actor in his 40s. So just because Brasso’s actor is in his fifties it doesn’t mean that Brasso is.

Having said that, I think he IS older than Cassian and Bix (who are canonically of the same or very similar age - “they’ve known each other since they were ten years old” - Tony Gilroy in the production brief) - but not by much. Five or six years? I kind of headcanon that Brasso might have babysat for young Cassian and as a teenager got pulled into some of the younger boy’s harebrained schemes. He gives me ‘big brother’ vibes (the good kind of big brother). He’s not old enough to be a father figure, imo. The fact that he and Cass are such good buddies and drinking companions - used to lying to evade the worst of Maarva’s wrath - makes it less likely for me that Brasso is actually in his fifties.

But even if he is - so what? If we’re talking fanon shipping or even irl relationships, if two people hit it off and are consenting adults at the time when they do … why on earth should their ages matter in any way? There’s absolutely nothing inherently wrong with any kind of age gap in that situation. Imho!

By damn, the writing gods are with me at the moment. I need to keep the momentum up so even though this is (shock, horror) a new ship, for anyone that likes the idea of Bix/Brasso here are 2000-odd words of angst and pining.

Hiding.
