finnrey figure skater/hockey player au is valid but ONLY if rey is the hockey player and finn is the figure skater.. its the only realistic possibility
you think for an INSTANT rey “sweaty stick-wielding melee fighter” would be a pretty ice princess? you think finn “expressive face, thigh muscles and flawless skin” would be the jock? fucking Wrong
This is a lot more canon than the stuff the anon trolls @lj-writes gets says
He gives great hugs because he wears his father’s armor like a constant embrace. Sometimes, wearing the helmet, Boba thinks he feels Dad’s forehead against his.
T’challa at age 5: Baba, when I am older, I will join the Dora Milaje and protect the throne and our country!!
Thor at age 5: FATHER WHEN I GROW UP, I’M GONNA BE A VALKYRIE AND RIDE A WINGED HORSE AND HIT THINGS WITH MY SWORRRRRDDDD
This totally happened
But since this likely DID happen – can you imagine how amazed Thor will be once he hears about the Dora Milaje?
the real story here tho
Valkyrie meeting the Dora Milaje, these beautiful strong warrior women who fight as one. Okoye, who looks at her with cool and assessing eyes and nods, a slight incline of her head as regal as any queen.
“Sister,” Okoye calls her, and leads her to the armoury because while they can all fight alone, none should have to.
Are we going to talk about the fact that Erik Stevens is a genius who graduated Anapolis at 19 and did postgrad work at MIT? (Or, by Shuri standards, not a complete dummy.) Imagine how the technological advances in Wakanda would have been jump-started if little N’Jadaka had been brought home where he belonged. Imagine him teaching little Shuri and glowing with pride to watch her shoot past him. Imagine him in a friendly rivalry with T’Challa, pushing each other to be better.
You wanna hear an idea about this AU that made me pause and go “well, shit?”
N’Jadaka is with his uncle and cousin at the UN. He is one split second ahead of T’Challa, and saves his uncle T’Chaka’s life.

That’s really interesting! I think she’d be content to leave the seat no Nakia; after all, this is the girl she trusts so absolutely that she wanted her to take the heart-shaped herb. I think Ramonda might decide to go into retirement with the kingdom in such good hands. OTOH Nakia might be a little busy as the director of Wakanda’s social outreach, so maybe Ramonda will continue on the council at Nakia’s request.
I also want them to have fabulous mother-and-daughter-in-law times relaxing from all the good they’re doing in the world, browsing foreign marketplaces, sunning themselves on beaches around the world, and banding together with Shuri to play pranks on T’Challa (and also Erik once they’re on better terms because he’s alive, okay?).
Ramonda could also brush up on her piloting, which she didn’t get to do as much of when the work of raising children and running a country caught up to her. Sometimes she just puts her children, children-in-law, surly nephew, and later grandchildren and great-niblings in the royal plane and flies wherever the whim strikes them. Adventure seems to follow them wherever they go, and they accidentally adopt orphaned children and a few pets in the process.
a concept: when the guy asks t’challa exactly what resources wakanda has to offer, shuri queues up a video to show everyone. t’challa is expecting maybe like…a slideshow of wakandan technology, or a video showing some of the uses of vibranium they’ve developed in action. but no. to his horror, the entire world watches as the king of wakanda is violently throw across shuri’s lab after hitting the mannequin the second time. footage of t’challa, esteemed king of wakanda, fervently yelling, “delete that footage!!!” goes viral
the first time Finn kisses Rey she tastes like sand and he is perturbed
™.
((this was a joke but now I’m gonna get something(angst) out of it))….
it’s not sand, but salt. she tastes like salt, too pure to be tears, it melts on his tongue. Rey, in the dims light of the Falcon while everyone sleeps too crowded and close, tastes like despair. there are 13 other people in the bunk room (Chewie is at the helm) and this is all that is left of the Resistance. the relief they felt when they saw eachother has passed and left an anxiety that can be felt like gravity. he holds her tighter.
