 THE PROMPT-A-THON IS: REMAINING OPEN

Accepting both Prompts & Fills. Updates may be intermittent but please feel free to continue prompting and filling whenever you please.

 
How to Prompt:
  • Please format all prompts with the header “PROMPT - [short description of the content you’ll be requesting]”
  • Any pertinent warnings should be the first line of your prompt, then you may line break and continue with your prompt.
  • Post one prompt per comment
  • You may make as many prompts as you like
  • Prompts may be made either anonymously or under your own username
  • Prompts may be specific or general, whether it's a specific story idea, a theme, a kink, an idea, or even just a poem or song lyrics you think would be inspiring.

How to Fill:
  • Please format all fills with the header "FILL - [title]"
  • Again, any kind of fanwork is welcome. Please format your fill as a reply to the prompt to which you’re responding. Pertinent warnings should be near the top and easily visible before the content of your fill.
  • You may provide the body of your fill either immediately in the content of the post, or as a link to a site like AO3 or tumblr. (However, given the nature of easily-broken URLs on tumblr, you may want to consider crossposting on both sites, so that people perusing the prompt-a-thon in the future can easily locate your work.)
  • Fills posted to AO3 can be added to the kppromptathon collection.

Leia is a pragmatist.
She's also a hard headed romantic with a rebellious streak a mile wide.

It's why instead of forcing her Han to spend a miserable summer with her, she lets him traipse around the Caribbean for the summer with Lando. Deep down, Leia knows that if she lived a different life, she'd be on a barely legal yacht with the two of them, spending half her time soothing her husband's jealousy over his own best friend. And then spending the other half reminding him that both her and Lando have much more fun focusing their attention on Han anyways.

Ben....well, Ben would probably be home with his uncle.

But she doesn't quite live a different life, and she doesn't have time for their yearly vacation. Most importantly, she knows having Lando around the summer house for too long is bound to raise Ben's suspicions if no one else's. So once again, her marriage feels like it's hanging by a thread, because Han leaves when he needs to decompress and Leia digs her feet in.

It doesn't help that Leia instituted a "no sexting" rule after Anthony Wiener's first scandal. Or that her rule was preceded by a "don't fuck Lando in my office" rule after President Bill Clinton was caught preying on an intern.

None of it can be helped, really.

She gets a phone call maybe once a week from an island and tries to sound like she isn't exhausted when she speaks to Han. Han tries to sound like he regrets that she didn't take her work with her and come on vacation anyways, but they both know they're flimsy liars.

It's mid-June when she calls Han and tells him she thinks Ben might finally crack and agree to go to Harvard in the fall. Leia knows Han doesn't actually care if his son hates the idea of going to college, but she also knows he has her back on this -- if Ben doesn't go to college, he's going to have to get a job. This is his last lazy summer.

About twenty minutes into the conversation Leia admits the truth.

"I don't think this is going the way I thought it would," she says, hedging around what she knows she can't ask her son about outright.

And even though they're thousands of miles apart, Han reads her like he's right there in the room.

"Is he pretty?" Han asks.

"Oh," Leia sighs. "Poe? No, I wouldn't say that, but--," she hesitates, triple checking she's alone in her study. "--Handsome. Ben certainly seems interested," she adds, looking out the window at the two boys swimming in the pool together. "I woke up last night when they snuck out to the pool. They were skinny dipping! I thought maybe if they didn't kill each other, they'd be friends, but..."

Han's laughter warms the receiver.

"You think they're going to go at it like the teenagers they are," Han laughs. "Princess, you really did bite off more than you could chew with this one."

Leia smirks.

"Do you think Ben would give me the silent treatment if I make sure he has a fresh box of condoms in his room?"
