DAMN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

1, 19, 42 (for 19 - I don’t remember the title, but the spooky fic where Anakin/Vader possessed the doll, please 🙏🏻 )

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

Ooh, this is a tough question! I think if this person had read nothing of my work (and I didn’t know how they felt about the sequel trilogy era, but they’re interested enough to try a Han/Leia fic), I would probably pick something set between Star Wars original recipe and ESB, with a bit of romantic tension but also more of the missions, Han and Leia working together, that sort of thing. For that, I’d likely go with A Betting Woman or Tear Down the Walls because they give you a sense of Han and Leia’s growing friendship and attraction, see that blooming into romance, and some of the essentials of why they work together, in my opinion.

19. If you wrote a spin-off of All the ghouls come out to play (the spooky fic where Anakin/Vader possessed the doll), what would it involve?

Ha, ha, this was fun to think about. I think there’s a few different options for spin-offs that could be fun. One would be to follow the doll after it ends up at the Alderaanian Museum, in case there are further shenanigans with it, or to see Leia attempt to come up with a reason why she decided to donate it. Another one would be if somehow after the incident Leia is comfortable enough to hang out with Force Ghost Obi-Wan (who was a big help getting Anakin out of the doll) from time to time, and somehow even though Han doesn’t have the Force like Leia does, he can see Obi-Wan too, and eventually Force Ghost Obi-Wan even gets to meet Han and Leia’s baby, so Anakin is even MORE jealous because Obi-Wan gets to hang out with Anakin’s family and Anakin is definitely not invited. (It even takes a while after the doll incident before Luke will talk with Anakin again — Luke’s one of those people whom it takes a lot to make mad, but once he’s angry he tends to stay that way for a bit. And he’s very protective of his sister.)

42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?

Oh, yes, definitely, many that stand out for me. Many generous commenters out there! A couple I will mention: I had someone write me a long beautiful comment thanking me for writing Epic Love and giving Han and Leia the characterization and relationship they felt was missing in TFA. But I think one that especially stands out was a comment where someone told me I nailed Leia’s voice and characterization, that they could hear Carrie saying those lines when they read my fic. Which made my little heart very happy for quite some time. Still does, really.

Thank you so much for the ask!

"sounds nice... having a partner"

"All my teenage years, I had bottled up anger and grief and promised myself I'd never cry but when I sat down with her hands in my hand and looked her in the eye, all the anger turned into tears. I sobbed for hours and she sat there, rubbing my back. That's when I saw. Growing up is also tearing down walls, it's also letting go of the anger."

– Ritika Jyala, Excerpt From "The Flesh I Burned"

This thing, your mouth, its place. It’s what you do when you’re trying not to give yourself away. Not in the way that you do all the time, those empty, greedy grabs for you. I mean the truth of you. The weird, perfect shape of your heart. The one on the outside of your chest.
