Because I lost the post but not the notes, hereās the PLOTS PLEASE! thing for @shadowselved about ten years later!
Hereās some trash: Shmi doesnāt get murdered by tusken raiders, but she does lose Anakin to the dark side. Khan is sent to Tatooine (because the Republic, or I guess the remnants of it, arenāt always angels eithers) to take her as leverage against Darth Vader. Angst ensues and Khan has mommy issues so pls adopt him
Or just, a reiteration of what weāre sort of already doing; Khan is sent by Palps to get Anakin before the Jedi discover him so pre-Phantom Menace, but obviously Khan hates being forced to work with the burgeoning Empire. Heās not down with ripping a kid from his mom, particularly because he had a rough childhood himself as a created super soldier/precursor clone. Heās buying time while he wrestles with what decision to make, and meanwhile Shmi is showing him kindness and oh my god why is she so nice to him when heās literally likeĀ āIām here to take your kidā skfjds
Bonus points if he takes Shmi to see another planet
Bonus bonus points if it ends horribly and Khan dies at the end or something
Something from her modern verse: Maybe after Shmi gets out but still works as a maid, Khan hires her because heās... a rich mob boss lmao. And even though she tries to let him do his thing, itās a dangerous life and rivals of his are not above going after literally everyone around him, personal or not, so he finds himself in a role where he needs to protect her and Anakin. Or what if a good olā kidnapping plot, where itās just a day where she had to bring her son (Khan doesnāt care), but his rivals are likeĀ āwhat if this kid means something to Khanā and boom, he has to get her kid back Taken(tm) style, but like... worse because heās kinda psychotic
Or also in Shmiās modern verse, but before sheās paid off her parentās debt this thing from your wishlist; but Shmi is married to Khan to pay off her parentās debt maybe......
I really just want a nemesis plot. I mean just straight up rivals and they hate each other and itās probably misplaced because theyāre both lost soulsā¦.. but nah theyāre just assholes to each other
Or what if....... what if both lost souls but they form a weird bond?? like something they donāt talk about ever because lmao why would they, but itās there and theyāre ride or dies
An actual idea: Emperor Kylo and his āfaithfulā knight Khan. Can result in fun things like betrayal or, on the flip side, them deciding thereās an actual respect/friendship there??
Another actual idea: ADMIDALA KYLO THO?? AND BODYGUARD KHAN???
Okay but little hydra experiment khan and little runaway rogue meeting each other
hydra has its sights set on Rogue and sends Khan maybe
khan going to prof xās school post-defection from hydra and just... canāt fit in, continually causes unrest, corrupts rogue/unintentionally (?) exploits her self-doubt following the whole Apocalypse thing B)
Clash of universes where Khan, while escaping from Starfleet before Into Darkness, happens up the Aether, who is one of Admiral Marcusā prizedĀ āpossessionsā. He frees her-- accidentally maybe, or on intentionally because empathy/just hates the admiral That Much(tm), they can wreak havoc together??
Or, because heās Khan, heās likeĀ āyou should help meā but..... manipulatively idk
Fey Khan! Fey Khan! Fey Khan being the Fey that The Weeping Monk canāt seem to kill. c; I⦠have nothing more than this, because Iāve yet to watch the show, but I have Wikipedia at my disposalā¦ā¦
I see your modern verse with a cult, and I raise you Khan and Lancelot both being raised in cults. Okay, so I already have a cult verse, and Iām always wanting to scream about it, but Iāll tone it down to mesh more with Lancelotās verse (⦠unless??). Anyway, in Khanās thing, heās a cult leader, the enigmatic head of the Church of Starry Wisdom. Heās absolutely a sinner and maybe the bane of Father Cardanās existence? What if itās Khan that sways Lancelot and makes him question everything??
Iām dumb but I do have a mermaid hunter/sailor verse for Khan and maybe he knows where to find Hector, just sayinā
Literally Iāve just been creeping on your thread with @grlkillsās Masha and my brain be like BUCKY VS KHAN TO FREE MASHA SLFDFSDJ
