If he thought about it hard enough, Ezra could hear something inside him singing. Just a simple tempo, beating in time with his heart. A tune set to the rhythm of the universe.

But he didn’t like to think about it too hard.

This is an older fic that focuses on how Ezra interacts with the Force growing up. It’s enough about how the Force loves Ezra that I felt comfortable sharing for Star Wars: All Types of Love week, for Agape.

Chapters: 1/7 Rating: Explicit Relationships: Shin Hati/Sabine Wren

When Sabine Wren and Shin Hati cross paths in a bar in Coruscant in ABY 6, they indulge in a night of pleasure with no strings attached, like the good Jedi padawans they are.

Hey! Question about the fics needing to be submitted between 7-14th Feb. Do they have to be completed in that time? As in, if the story turns into multiple chapters, do all the chapters need to be posted by the end of the 14th? Ta!

Hello @femmefighter

Thank you for your interest and question!

We're glad to know that you felt so inspired by the event that you need multiple chapters to tell the whole story!

This is certainly a scenario that we had not considered. After discussing it among ourselves, we agreed that the only stipulation we would make would be that the first chapter be published during said week and that there is a sincere goodwill to eventually finish the story.

We're very curious to see what you've done so far! We hope it turns out to be everything you hoped for when you started!

Tag us when you post the first chapter on tumblr, so we can follow the story and don't forget to tag the type of love you represent.

All the best,

The team.

Bucket of Bolts

Summary:

The ruins of the AT-TE’s various motors lay scattered across the engine room, some parts destroyed but some salvageable, if he had a month or three to sort and clean and repair it all properly. Reassembling the engines would be another lengthy but indeterminate quantity of time.

Well. He had time, now.

Rex and Ahsoka start a project as they contemplate their past and their future.

Another one for @starwarsalltypesoflove week!!! We are halfway through and so far it’s been a blast looking though my work to see what I’ve got to contribute. This is… undefined but potentially soon to be fully embraced queerplantonic something. Pragma, perhaps.

and the force is with us

If he let himself think about it, Thire could tell where each stroke of the lightsaber would land seconds before it did.

He was scared to let himself think about it.

But.

Another older one I’m posting for @starwarsalltypesoflove week! This one is very much agape again, with the Force and the way the Force loves.

Sabe & Rabe

Prompt: philia for @starwarsalltypesoflove

Sorry if this is a silly question- would sexual love fall into ludus? Romantic & sexual love/attraction are separate, so I wanted to confirm if they are both not allowed for this event or just romantic?

Hi @armoralor! Not a silly question at all. Sexual relationships and sexual attraction are most definitely allowed, as long as those relationships/feelings are not also romantic.

The only requirement is that, to go with the sexual aspect, there must be love! This is the focus of our event. That love could born out of ludus, but it could also be philia, pragma, or in some cases even philautia. Have fun with it!

Post-Mission Support

Sometimes, after a bad mission, the best thing to do is to seek out friends who understand. Written for Fandom Empire Prompt Tables 2024 - Prompt: "Write a ficlet" and @starwarsalltypesoflove week - Prompt: "Pragma"

Read on AO3

It wasn’t a premonition that had Mace getting out the tea kettle, but the Force likely did aid him in the timing, as he was just taking it off the heat as the door to his quarters slid open, and Qui-Gon walked in and sank onto one of the round cushions.

Mace didn’t ask if it had been a rough mission; it was obvious in the tenseness of the Force pulled around Qui-Gon, and in the weariness spilling out. It took a lot to rattle Qui-Gon, but Mace knew that he’d get the full details when he and Obi-Wan gave their mission report.

For now, tea.

He offered a cup to Qui-Gon, who accepted it with wordless gratitude, before sitting down with his own cup. For a few moments they sat in steady silence, Qui-Gon’s tension slowly easing.

“I told the Council that this mission was ill-advised,” he said, eventually.

“You did,” Mace agreed. “But it had to happen, and there is no other pair of Jedi who could have handled it better.”

“You haven’t heard our mission report yet.”

“It won’t change my opinion in that regard.”

Qui-Gon lifted his cup and drank from it, before exhaling softly.

“Obi-Wan handled himself well,” he conceeded. “And we did what we could.”

“That’s all anyone can ask.”

Qui-Gon smiled. “Bold words from you, my friend. How often have I had to remind you of the same? And I’m sure if I asked Yoda, he could name many times more.”

It was true. One’s efforts never felt like enough, sometimes, when missions went south. The trap of self-recrimination was a difficult one to escape – at least on one’s own. That was why these moments shared over tea in the aftermath were so valuable.

“And Obi-Wan?” Mace asked, after a hum of agreement.

“With his own friends,” Qui-Gon said. “They’re what he needs right now.”

Mace understood that as well – after all, he and Qui-Gon had done the same, as padawans. There were times when you confided in your master, and there were times when you confided in your peers.

There was no shortage of people to turn to, in the Temple. Everyone needed support, and everyone offered it. Their shared duty and calling, and both the joy and hardship that came with it, was something they all understood.

And so they took these quiet moments together, to center themselves, and go back out into the world, ready to face its ills again – but never alone.
