the_wavesinger | FemslashEx!

Dear FemslashEx Creator,

My letter is unusually early. I am as surprised as anyone else. I've been waiting all year for this exchange, and I'm all geared up to see what you'll make for me. *is excite*

My prompts are slightly more fic-geared than art-geared (although most of them are hopefully general enough to apply to both), because, in art, I like a lot of the same thing for multiple relationships; I've included a separate section for general art prompts at the beginning of the letter. And I know that some of my prompts are longer than others, but that's mostly because for some prompts, I know exactly what I want to say, but for others, I ramble a lot—it's a problem with wording! I would love fic and art for any of the relationships I've requested equally. Also, the prompts I've given for relationships are by no means the only things I'd like to see! You can follow them or not as you wish; hopefully, I've given enough general prompts, too. This is also my first time requesting vids; again, there's a section with general vid prompts which I hope is adequate.

If you want to know more about me , I’m

The_Wavesinger,

the-wavesinger and The Wavesinger (Silmarillion Writers’ Guild) on my fannish haunts. You can also find me here on DW, and as

the_wavesinger on LJ, but I don’t frequent those places often. I If you want more on my fic preferences (however unlikely that is, after this very long letter!), my fic rec tag on Tumblr and my AO3 bookmarks may be of some use, and for art, my art and fan art tags on Tumblr may be of some use You may also want to poke through my previous exchange letters.

This letter has a list of DNWs and general likes, and also fandom-specific prompts. However, please don't feel obliged to stick to my prompts—as long as you don't include my DNWs, I'm sure I'll love whatever you like.

The sections for some relationships are longer than others, but this is not because I want the longer relationships more than the shorter ones, it's just that for some relationships, I like more specific things, while, for others, I'd love basically anything.

DNWs:

Gore/guro/vore.
Necrophilia.
Torture of animals. (Humans/humanoids/other sapients being tortured is more than fine!)
Graphic descriptions of nausea/vomiting.
Reader inserts.
Mundane AUs.
Unrequested depowered/non-powered AUs.
Non-femslash A/B/O; femslash for this trope is fine!
Crossovers/fusions between fandoms I haven't asked for. (Crossover within any fandom in my letter or previous exchange letters, along with mythology and folklore, are more than fine!)
AUs with modern settings are no-no’s unless there’s a reasonable canon explanation (eg-: Tolkien, people cursed to be reborn again and again into mortal forms). Even then, please no high school or coffee shop AUs.
Please no age regression, de-ageing, or AUs in which one character is suddenly older than a previously older-than-them character (ageswap?).
Girl!penis. (Trans characters are fine, just please no inexplicable g!p.)
For smut, I'd prefer not to see bloodplay, scat, watersports, age play (including daddy/mommy kink), and any sort of permanent marking/scarring/body modification (scarring and permanent markings outside smut is perfectly fine) unless I've prompted these things for the specific pairing.
H/C fics centering on characters with depression and/or anxiety, and/or characters who self-harm or have eating disorders are not my favourite thing. (All of these things are more than fine in non-H/C fic, but not as things which can be hugged/cuddled better, please.)
Genderswap which makes F/F or M/M canon pairings or F/F or M/M pairings I've requested F/M.
Unrequested relationships as the main focus of a fic (side pairings/non-endgame relationships are fine).
Unrequested parent/child incest.
Smut for underage relationships unless otherwise requested.
Extreme underage (pre-pubertal children) unless otherwise requested.
Anachronistic discussions of sexuality and/or characters lecturing other characters on SJ issues.

General Likes:
Tropes, Genres, and (for fic) Story Elements

Angst. Drama. Politics. Tragedy.
Philosophical ponderings!
I love canon divergence AUs, and For Want Of A Nail and other what-if scenarios. I'd love both longer fic (for fic) and art/ficlets as snapshots of what could have been, all the things that could've happened, but didn't.
Soulmates! Not necessarily soulmate AUs (although that'd be more than fine), but soulmates as in 'I knew you the moment I saw you', or 'I felt you in my soul' or any other version of that—the electric connection is something I adore. Soulmate things I love include in every version of every reality, in another life, fated to be separated again and again.
Regency AUs.
Fake dating within the canon setting.
Arranged marriage within the canon setting.
Time travel and time loops, especially timefuckery where everything is fucked up!
(For femslash only) A/B/O
In-world mythology.
Cultural differences and clashes that occur due to cultural differences.
Worldbuilding in general.
Battle couples!
Lovers to enemies.
Enemies to lovers.
Trope subversions.
I have A Thing for sister/sister, and focusing on the sister aspects of the relationship—how they're alike and how they're different, and just how they're sisters.
Competence porn!
I also adore people being messes and general failboats, because, uh, contradictions?
I have zero problems with fics dealing with misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism etc. I like realism, but not overly-depressing fics or fics centered on issues at the expense of characterization. (I define 'overly-depressing' as continuous angst focusing on Issues and Only Issues.)
All the things that could've happened, but didn't.

Tone, Setting, and Miscellaneous Things

Characters dancing and spending time outdoors.
Characters in situations that shouldn't be funny, but are.
Characters who're comfortable around each other, and who tease and laugh with each other.
Slice-of-life fics and, for relationships, a look at all the quirks/annoyances of cohabitation.
Banter! I feel like I've repeated this a million times in this letter, but I adore banter!
Casual situations and everyday annoyances
Characters playing pranks on each other.
Generally over-the-top things played straight.
Drama interspersed with humor.
Characters sleeping on each other, making out for hours, drinking from the same cup, and generally being adorable!
Characters solving mysteries and going on journeys together!
Bittersweetness.
All the hard questions with no answers, characters trapped in unsolvable dilemmas, loss and grief and moving on.
Gallows humour, and humour in otherwise dark situations generally.
And just humour in general.
And if you want to go in the crack-y direction, I wouldn't mind that as well!
I adore OFCs and textual ghosts, for many, many reasons.
I'm more than fine with most side relationships, unless stated otherwise.
Genderbending! I always love Rule 63'd characters.
Open relationships! Threesomes! Moresomes! Orgies!
Transgender characters would be amazing, as would non-binary characters and just fucking with and/or ignoring traditional gender roles in general.

Character and Relationships Dynamics.

Characters who and relationships which fall just short of the mark, the almost-most-not-quite. I think the closest word to this would be hamartia in its original sense?
Hurt, and not necessarily comfort.
Fucked-up families and messy friendships which really, really aren't good for the characters, but they love each other very much anyway. I don't mind either characters finding ways to move past the fucked-upness and the relationships end up flourishing, or moving past fucked-up-ness and leaving what they don't want behind, but I also don't mind a constant cycle of messing up.
Found families!
Intense friendships which play a central role in the characters' lives.
For longer works, plotty fics are always welcome!
Stoic and/or emotionally incompetent characters
Characters finding ways to come to terms with themselves, with their pasts, and with their loved ones and/or finding their place in the world (think Circle of Life).
Characters who're broken, characters who're tired, characters who're lost, characters who refuse to be found, characters who're hurt over and over again, characters who never ever win, characters who've given up. And characters who love, characters who give, characters who're selfless and kind even after everything they've been through, characters who give their all and then some more to people they love, characters who never give up, characters who keep on hoping and keep on fighting even beyond the bitter end. And characters who're a mixture of both types.
I love characters with flaws and unpleasant qualities! Awesome ladies can be awesome and flawed :).
I like relationships that are fated to end in tragedy, but I also really don't mind a pinch of humor with my angst, if that's your thing.

Stylistic Things for Fic

I like all kinds of fic, so go wild—linear narrative, flashbacks, epistolary…whatever you think of is lovely, the more daring the better. I especially adore faux-historical documents and faux academia.
Relatedly, interactive fiction!
Characters teasing and bantering with each other.
I don’t mind any type of POV (including second person!). In fact, POV switches and outside POVs on relationships would be lovely.

Smut Likes

I will always want F/F or M/M smut, even if I haven't explicitly requested it! Femsub is preferred for F/M D/s smut, though I'm down for femdom if that's your thing, too.
I prefer a balance between sensuality, emotions, and physical sensations. Anything from playful to creepy is more than fine (although there are a few things I'd prefer not to see, as outlined in the kink DNWs).
Helplessness and humiliation. These are the two main things I love in kinky smut, and everything else derives from there.
Bantering and laughing during sex is lovely, as is gentleness.
And banter between the dom and the sub in D/s scenes (which can edge towards slightly cruel on the dom's part!).
Angry sex/hatesex, smut that gives off vibes of slightly creepy but in a way that can't be pinpointed
Dubcon and emotional manipulation!
Explorations of power dynamics. I especially like service submission, and power dynamics based on the characters' titles/positions! (I do confess to having a kink for honorifics and titles!)
Doms having control over the sub's everyday minutiae (although for short periods of time—24/7/365 high-protocol D/s is a turn-off)
Punishment play, especially unusual forms of discipline! (I don't like erotic spanking in and of itself, but spanking as punishment is great! And whatever interesting punishments you can come up with.)
Corner time, especially kneeling on rice/somehow having to display themselves/after a spanking.
In general, being put on display/having to put themselves on display.
Tickling! Both playful tickling and tickle torture (bondage + tickling = yessss).
Gags and other ways to prevent speech. And weirdly specific, but fingers of one character in the other's mouth.
Groping, especially pulling breasts out of tops (and sometimes letting them just hang there, if you're into humiliation).
Orgasm denial, especially chastity devices.
Fuck-or-die scenarios.
Creative bondage (including predicament bondage. No, strike that, especially predicament bondage, and especially if the predicament is partly psychological).
Similarly, ordering a partner to stay still/hold a certain pose.
Incest kink.
Hairpulling.
Directed masturbation (one character instructing the other how to masturbate).
Dirty talk (including long distance dirty talk).
Navels, inner things, ribs, and kinks for these body parts.
(Not really a like, but I'm afraid my AO3 bookmarks won't say much about my smut likes, because I have a separate account for smutty bookmarks. Sorry.)

Darker Likes

Dark places and enchantments which entrap people without their knowledge
Getting lost in creepy surroundings
Corruption and decay
Explorations of the darker side of magic (or its equivalent), especially magic that's considered 'good'.
Exploration of the supernatural aspects of the canons.
Nature being eerily alive and dangerous.
Child soldiers, trauma, and really ugly, messy wars.
Characters trapped in vicious cycles.
Characters who think they're 'not good enough' for their partner(s).
Situations where characters are blackmailed/coerced into doing things they don't want to do.
Fucked-up families and friendships and relationships; people codependent to the point of almost-insanity, and far beyond anything healthy.
Looking into messed-up characters' thought processes.
Terrible things being done in the name of good by characters who see themselves as good.
Perversion of the 'good' side of magic to do evil things.
Mindfucks and powerplay.
Torture for the sake of torture, and characters being stoic through torture.
Noncon. I like both works focused on sexy (for fic and art purposes) noncon as well as more seriously-dealt with noncon and noncon aftermath.
Pregnancy due to F/F or M/M noncon.
Badtouch that doesn't lead to noncon, it's just there and creepy. (Especially when coupled with emotional fuckery and mindgames.)
Relationships where one characters is in love, but the other isn't.
Partners doing terrible things to each other.
Characters who hate themselves and lash out at the world and do fucked-up things as a result.
Really, really dark stories which end in the 'everyone dying' sort of tragedy.
AUs where everything goes wrong.
For darkfic especially, I love outsider PoVs—it makes everything 100% more terrible for me.

Art-Specific Likes and Prompts

I adore all kinds of jewellery—the more elaborate the better!
And elaborate hairdos! And elaborate clothes! And elaborate makeup!
I do, however, also enjoy seeing characters in their workaday attire, doing everyday things.
Characters with visible height differences from each other!
Elaborate weapons
In-universe art. (Famous portraits, posters for events, propaganda/health-and-safety leaflets, handwritten notes, maps etc.)
In-universe statues and tapestries and architecture
Court settings with pomp and circumstance or everyday life are both things I enjoy seeing.
I also enjoy seeing outdoor settings. Lakes, mountains, spooky forests, bustling cities, rivers, tiny hamlets, cottages, forests...
Specific canon locations (like the Withywindle for Tolkien, the Spirit World for A:tLA etc.)
Studies in opposites
Limited palettes
Non-traditional art mediums would be welcome.
Characters doing things they love together (I know this sounds very pairing-specific, but I'd lovelovelove this for friends and/or parents and children and/or siblings, too).
Ceremonies and events (coronations, balls, feasts, weddings etc.)
Picnics, garden parties, outdoor events, riding, hunting etc.
Characters arguing or debating with each other.
Starlight and warm colors and pastels.
Colour palettes that fit the character (golds and greens for Goldberry in Tolkien, for example, or shades of red for Natasha Romanov in MCU)
Characters passionate with and about each other and about things they love
Seasonal settings (falling leaves or snowed-over land or flower-filled meadows or golden fields etc.)
Characters fighting and having each other's backs, and, for A:TLA, bending!
Bloodied and bruised characters leaning on each other on on the nearest available upright surface after a hard battle
Characters facing each other across the battlefield (especially friends-turned-enemies)
Gift-giving, both literal and metaphorical
Characters reading or writing
Characters in libraries/otherwise surrounded by books
Characters who've fallen asleep (in bed, on a pile of books, sprawled across the sofa, on the floor, on another character—anywhere, any place, any time)
Characters in meetings/teams seated around tables or in lounges
For modern-era canons, airports!
Characters who look messy and/or rumpled and tired and way too fucking busy why is this my life
Characters in a private moment.
Casually intimate gestures, like handholding or hands on shoulders or arms around waists/on shoulders, or just reaching out to adjust the other's clothing
Kneeling and hand-kissing for pairings where I specify loyalty kink, or for gen or shippy combinations which involve a superior and subordinate in a setting where kneeling would work
Forehead kissing!
Tickling and playful tussling
Day-to-day activities (eating, bathing, morning rituals etc.)
Characters being cheesy or tender or dorky or awkward with each other (or all or some of these!).
All the smutty things I've indicated in the smut section! For art especially, a visual focus on power difference (standing/kneeling, clothed/unclothed etc.), looking well-fucked and/or humiliated, straining against bondage, decorative bondage.

Vid Likes

Okay, so I've never even tried requesting vids in my life before so...hopefully this is somewhat helpful?
First, before I blather: some of the fanvids I like, which may or may not be helpful (and is definitely not a complete list).
And IDK how useful this is, but my music tag on Tumblr can give a general idea of what kind of music I like (the answer is 'every kind', tbh. Though I've recently gone back to musicals and movie soundtracks in a way that isn't reflected in that tag).
In terms of music for vids: I like either a strong beat or the words being relevant to the visuals (both is certainly good but not at all necessary).
I've only requested vids for visual canons/canons with some sort of visual media, whatever that may be. However, if you want to, feel free to pull from other visual media or decide on animation if you want more material to work with/if you want to go AU, or for any other reason. I don't mind either way.
I've also requested vids for original works! Things I'd love for original works vids include:
- trailer-like vids for a story
- animations!
- a single scene/moment or a few scenes/moments
- your visualisations of the feel/atmosphere of the worlds the original works will be set in and the relationship I've requested
- character introduction and relationship introduction
- worldbuilding
I like character studies and vids focused on a single relationship and its growth.
I also like vids which create an AU situation (whether that's canon divergence, or 'X and Y in spaaaaaace', or 'X born 50 years earlier', or any of my other AU likes), or vids which tell a story, or vids which focus on multiple characters/relationships tied around a theme.
I especially love meta vids which explore certain aspects of canon visually and musically.
Vids which explore parallels/contrasts between characters are good!
I also like action-heavy vids focused on fights and set to music without words and with a strong beat (especially when it comes to foeyay).
Vids with gradual realisations/creeping sense of horror are also good.
I like effects, but I also like vids without effects. However, there are certain effects I prefer used sparingly—an entire vid where every clip transitions involves strobe lights or the 'blinking' effect (IDK what it's actually called) would be too much for me, especially if the transitions are very fast, but the effects being used 3-4 times in a 2 minute vid is perfectly fine.
I do prefer that superimposition of text is kept to a minimum/is unobtrusive if it involves, say, lyrics of the music. Superimposed text that's narrative-relevant is fine!
I like fics which convey the atmosphere of canon. I don't know how well I'm conveying this, but basically, I love vids which are about the essence and the feel of the canon, if that makes sense?
I don't know if worldbuilding using vids is a thing, but if it's a thing I'd definitely love to see worldbuilding-focused vids.
Humor! Funny vids are good. (As are sad and/or dramatic vids, of course.)
Vids which are kind of like 'trailers' for a canon or relationship o AU or specific scenario are also very wonderful!
Vids with clear visuals! I don't mind effective use of blurring for a specific purpose (to indicate fight scenes, people or events moving really fast, fuzzy memories, or something similar), but blurry visuals for no real reason aren't my favourite thing.
Specific/limited colour palettes are good if you can pull it off!
And finally, you'll notice I haven't DNW'ed anything I said I don't like. That's because I'm not very picky aside from my actual DNWs—if you have a burst of inspiration, go for it and I'll probably like it even if it includes one or two things I usually wouldn't like.

Slice of Life: I love seeing glimpses into character's everyday lives in canon-appropriate ways. I love slice-of-life fics as insight into characters' backstories and histories, as well as as looks into their heads and as ways to figure out what's making them tick, or to make it clear that the characters' everyday lives are immensely atypical/fucked up. I also love these kinds of fic as worldbuilding vehicles.

Avatar: Legend of Korra

I love the mix of darkness and humor in LoK—it's one of my favourite things about it. Also how deeply fucked up it is. Give me all the fucked-up childhoods and dictators and governments who don't know how to govern and backstabbing and betrayal! Fucked-up childhoods especially are a Thing for me.
Spirits and the supernatural and all the otherwordly aspects of the A:TLA/LoK world! I especially love the spirits' inability to distinguish between different humans, and Raava and the Spirit World as seen in LoK are v. interesting to me.
Worldbuilding—the past of the A:TLA/LoK world and the politics of said world are things I always love to see being explored.
I love the character arcs for basically all the characters, and I'd adore something set in the future, because I want to see what happens to them! Bridging the gap between A:TLA and LoK would be particularly lovely.
And LoK and A:TLA sometimes have wildly different interpretations of events (lion-turtles and the origin of the Avatar comes to mind), so something about that, maybe?
LoK is more explicit about the darker underbelly of the A:TLA/LoK world and I love that, but I'm still disappointed by how little the motives of the villains other than Kuvira were explored and, in Season 1 especially, the lack of consideration as to whether they may have had a valid point, so something about that, maybe?

b>Asami Sato/Korra

I loved how fluffy and happy Korrasami was in canon, and I do love all the fluffiness for them, but I confess that I also love torturing both of them (because I love them and because both of them suffer so prettily) and I love seeing darker versions of Korrasami. (Or smutty Korrasami. That's also good!)

So, remember how there was speculation for a while in Season One that Asami would turn out to be an Equalist? I'd love to see that explored (especially if you also explore the idea that the Equalists did, in fact, have a valid point). Maybe Korra falling for Asami, and Asami betraying her? Or Asami choosing her father's side, at the last moment, but she and Korra still love each other? Or Asami being a spy who manipulates Korra into having sex with her and maybe even falling for her? Or maybe Korra poses as an Equalist for Reasons and then betrays Asami? Or, in Season Three, Korra betraying Asami? Or maybe Asami's forced to betray Korra and join the Equaists because her father is being hostage? Or maybe someone threatens Korra's life unless Asami betrays her, or vice versa? If you go with the forced betrayal option, all the angst on the side of the betrayer as well as the betrayee, please! Or maybe one of them is being blackmailed to do [nefarious thing] and they have to keep silent to protect the other? Or maybe Asami is undertaking a project that she thinks Korra would disapprove of, or Korra has to undertake a mission that she can't talk to Asami about (or maybe both)?

Or maybe it's taboo for a Water Tribe chieftain's daughter, specifically, to be in love with Asami for [Water-Tribe customs related reasons]? I just want all the angsty self-loathing because one or both of them are attracted to the other but they know it's wrong, they just can't stop.

And speaking (writing?) of angsty self-loathing because of forbidden attraction, the new comics have the A:TLA/LoK universe being canonically self-loathing (and also Kya and Kyoshi <3), and I'd love to see anything about that. Do Korra and/or Asami internalize the homophobia so much that they're unable to be with each other/are extremely uncomfortable with the other? Or maybe all the little ways in which homophobia fucks you up and the unconscious ways you change your behaviour to protect yourself without even realizing it? Korra and/or Asami unable to visualize being with the other until it actually happens (perhaps because they think it's intrusive or predatory)? Hiding their relationship from the public, or if they choose not to, what is public opinion like on their relationship? Unconsciously keeping their distance from each other even when they've gone public? Just all the angst, again, please!

If you want to do some trope-y soulmates/reincatnation cycle stuff, I'd especially love to see how it coincides with the Avatar cycle. Raava/whoever the Avatar is is already pretty much a soulmates in doomed reincarnation cycle story—what about if a bit of Raava's spirit, not in all lives but sometimes, gets deposited in another body? Or maybe Korra isn't Wan's spirit/soul, and she and Asami are caught up in an entirely different doomed cycle, which maybe ends with her becoming the Avatar? Or maybe the events of Season Two are what start the cycle?

We already have underworld rescue missions and characters being trapped in the Spirit World in canon, and I'd love to see more of that! Perhaps Korra or Asami is trapped in the Spirit World (possibly being held hostage/part of a trap?) and the other has to go and rescue her? Or perhaps they're both trapped, and Korra, despite her Avatar-ly powers, can't get them out? And maybe they're trapped in one of the more dangerous parts of the Spirit World by a villain who can control the Spirit World? Maybe one of them is trapped in the Realm of Koh? And the Spirit World does seem to be the closest thing to the underworld in LoK, so maybe one of them is trapped in the Fog of Lost Souls after they 'die'? Or maybe Korra 'dies' but is actually in that cosmic space-type thing?

Raava/Kyoshi/Yangchen, Raava/Yue

Spirit World shenanigans! I'm sure that Raava communicates (*cough cough*) not only with Avatars present, but with Avatars past too, and with the denizens of the Spirit World! I'd love to see something about the role of the Avatar, and what Kyoshi's and Yangchen's views of that are, and what Raava's views are, and what Yue thinks, as both a spirit and a former human. Culture clashes, basically, and misunderstandings based on the fact that one of them is an extremely powerful spirit who used to live in their bodies, if OT3, and the other two are humans, albeit dead humans from two completely different cultures, while Yue is a strange hybrid of human and spirit. Does Raava misunderstand and miscommunicate with her human hosts sometimes? Does she make her presence felt when she's annoyed? Does she communicate with the Spirit World and its Spirits?

And spiritual connections and Raava using her powers ~~for the greater good~~ to pleasure her lover(s)! And, again, incorporeal sex. And maybe tentacles? Or any other wacky/xeno-ish body parts, and maybe even f!preg?

For art, Raava isn't always as massive as in LoK, right? And how, exactly, do the three of them interact in the Spirit World? Or the Avatar Spirit facilitating communication between Kyoshi and Yangchen? Or, how do the Moon and the Avatar commune? (Aang/Korra staring up at the moon, and a ghostly Raava rising to meet a ghostly Yue?) Or, what does Raava + Kyoshi + Yangchen/Raava + Yue smut look like? I would love to see the mechanics of these pairings! Does Raava take human form separate from the Avatar, do they have sex with Raava's original spirit form, or is it more like masturbation?And can Yue change her form at will, or is she stuck as eithe her human form or the Moon?

Avatar: The Last Airbender

I love the mix of darkness and humor in A:TLA—it's one of my favourite things about it. Also how deeply fucked up it is. Give me all the fucked-up childhoods and child soldiers and dictators! Fucked-up childhoods especially are a Thing for me.

Azula/Katara

I very much adore how the two of them are placed in opposition to each other, and I'd love foeyay, hatesex, slowly falling for each other, or anything in between.

I love the aspect of opposites attracting, and how they're kind of each other's mirrors in a sense but also each other's foils, and how neatly that mirrors their bending (fire and water!). Anything playing with their differences and their different natures would be great, especially for art.

I'd love to see any situation where Katara tries to find good in Azula, somehow, or doesn't try to find good in her but shows her some sort of mercy or kindness that starts to slowly change Azula's perspective. (Post-canon, visiting Azula in prison?)

<>A situation where they fall for each other but hold on to their worldviews would also be great. It probably wouldn't end well and it would probably result in a lot of misery, but for everyone involved. But. Think of the hatesex. (Clandestine encounters in the middle of battle, anyone?) And think of Katara pleading for mercy for Azula after Azula's defeated, or having the power to grant Azula mercy and having to choose whether to exercise it.

Or noncon/dubcon! What if Katara is captured by Azula at some point? (After the eclipse?) Azula menacing Katara, maybe (leaning over her, all up in her face?), and threatening to torture her/actually torturing her with her flames? Interrogation sessions that lead to sex? Sex as an interrogation session? Using Katara as a hostage to capture Aang?

Azula/Mai/Ty Lee, Azula/Ty Lee

Dark ships of my heart! And by dark, I mean dark. Dubcon, powerplay, mindfucks—throw them all at me, and I'd love it! Loyalty, of course, and tests of loyalty, and tragedy and betrayal, and anger and passion and also auras, and I just want dark, dark fic and art. I love the loyalty and power aspects of Azula/Ty Lee(/Mai), and I love Ty Lee's and Mai's eventual betrayal and all the angst because of that, but I love that Ty Lee and Azula and Mai care for each other very much despite the betrayal.

How did the they become lovers? Was it a twisted test of obedience or did they really love each other, or both? What would happen to Ty Lee (and Mai if OT3), who betrayed Azula, if the Fire Nation emerged victorious after Sozin's Comet? Does Azula get visitors post-canon, and are those visitors Ty Lee and/or Mai? If you follow comics canon, I would also love anything exploring the events of the comics, too. Or, for smut, playing dangerously with fire, and smutty tests of loyalty. (This is a thing for me for these two pairings, hushhhh.)

Or maybe an AU where the Fire Nation wins and Azula becomes Fire Lord? Mai and Ty Lee kneeling to their Fire Lord? Or an AU where Azula doesn't go crazy and loses anyway? What would that mean for Mai and Ty Lee?

For art: Azula making Ty Lee (+ Mai) stand still while she runs flame (she controls the heat of) over them? Or post-canon, meeting each other again (side 'ships are fine) and fucked-up things in that direction? Or something showing their childhoods?

Hama/Kanna

This is a...very tenuous thing I've requested, based on the fact that Hama was once a waterbender of the Southern Water Tribe so Kanna probably knew her, and I'd love to see any fic or art on that!

The two of them before Hama was captured, maybe, falling for each other and spending time around each other and trading kisses and huddling up together, and maybe Hama waterbending to woo Kanna? Or maybe Kanna trying to rescue Hama after she's captured and having to be talked out of it, and/or grieving Hama?

Or, if you want to go extra-angsty, does Katara waterbending remind Kanna of Hama very much, and it becomes another thing in life she has to power through and force herself to survive? (For art, baby Katara waterbending while Kanna sees the ghost of Hama reaching out from behind her as if to touch Kanna?)

Or, what if Hama goes back to the Tribe after she escapes from the Fire Nation, dark and twisted as she is? Does Kanna try to stop her, or is she so glad of Hama's return that she doesn't see what's going on until it's too late? Does she have mixed feelings about bloodbending, because it sounds completely wrong but it's also waterbending? Any dubcon/noncon you want to write/draw, any twisted/creepy relationship would be great here. (Hama forcing Kanna by literally making her do things she doesn't want to, through bloodbending?)

Katara/Suki

Sisters-in-arms (except with a lot more romance ;))! Katara and Suki fighting together, living together, loving together. Kick-ass women kicking ass, action, adventure! And all the bittersweet fluffiness is also lovely.

Post-canon getting together would be wonderful—it can always be after Aang's death, just before LoK, if you don't want to break Katara and Aang up, or maybe after Tenzin's born? Or maybe an AU where it's Katara who flirts with and does all that stuff with Suki the first time they're on Kyoshi Island, and go from there?

I would love to see Katara fighting with/training with the Kyoshi Warriors, because the two of them hit all my battle couple kinks hard. Or maybe Katara and Suki sparring?

Or Katara and Suki navigating the politics of the post-A:tLA world (and maybe not being very good at it, especially Katara, because she's a warrior dammit not a diplomat? Although competence kink would be great too)?

And, of course, all the smut, because honestly I love the two of them for their prettiness and they are double the gorgeous together. Do they find creative uses for Katara's waterbending? Do they defile Suki's Kyoshi Warrior garb, or even Kyoshi's clothes themselves?

Katara/Yue

We know Katara has a special connection to the moon (and I resisted making a joke out of it! ~~So proud of myself~~), and it's not difficult to extrapolate from there! Yue visiting Katara in her dreams, maybe ~~and dreamsex~~? Or Katara visiting the Spirit Oasis post-canon, and communing with the moon? Or post-Hama, how does Katara thank Yue? Either way, I'd love something about the moon and about waterbending, please!

Or maybe an AU where Yue falls for Katara instead of Sokka? Would that end the same way as it did in canon? Would Katara's lover watch over her (more closely than in canon, even!) and protect her?

And for smut: incorporeal sex? (With Yue not having a proper body or Katara in the Spirit World) Or waterbending + sex, or the power that must be involved when the Moon Spirit orgasms!

We've seen from both A:tLA and LoK that the Spirit World can be both fluffy and terrifying, so explorations of the Spirit World from Yue's perspective, whether she's telling Katara about it or Katara is in the Spirit World with Yue accompanying her, would be great. For art especially, the Spirit World would be interesting to explore, especially since Yue is a spirit herself. Or maybe Yue gets caught in some sort of spirit-trap and Katara has to rescue her?

Suki/Ty Lee

For these two, I'd love 'Ty Lee joins the Kyoshi Warriors'. Past Azula/Ty Lee would be an added bonus, of course, and I'd love a gentle fic about grief and loss. Hurt/comfort would be lovely, as would a bittersweet tone, and mutual support and bonding. How does day-to-day life in the Kyoshi Warriors work? Are there any initiation rituals? What sort of sacred traditions and observances do the Warriors follow? Are they always training on Kyoshi Island, or do they travel and lend their services and practise diplomacy if it's not wartime? (Katara/Suki/Ty Lee is also good, v-shaped or otherwise, if you want to go in that direction.)

Or an AU where they remain enemies? How would that work? Does Ty Lee take Suki prisoner, or is it the other way around? Or do they keep facing each other in battle and flirting until they somehow fall into bed together?

For art, them being dorky together and/or fighting together? The two/three of them teaching each other new fighting styles? On holiday post-canon, lazing around on a beach or going on wild adventures, but not of the save-the-world type enough of those have been had to last a lifetime thank you very much?

Ursa/Female Dragon

Okay, fine. Most of my A:TLA 'ships for this exchange are crackships ~~can you not hear me crying 'porn with plot' here~~. But hear me out! Ran and Sho (Shaw? The Wiki says 'Shaw', but it looks weird) may not be the only dragons alive—maybe one or two dragons survived on some far distant island? And maybe Ursa, once she's exiled, visits those far distant islands? (Comicsverse ignoring is great! Or you can make it comic-compliant, maybe something with the Blue Dragon? I'm not bothered either way.) And, um, oviposition and tails being involved in sex and biting and fire?

Or if you want to do something more serious and less smutty, I'd also love to see more about

For art, I'd love to see the dragon curled around Ursa! Or the dragon gently breathing fire over Ursa! Or Ursa flying on the dragon, or the two of them firebending together. Or, if you want to make it smutty, how does dragon-on-human work? Is there penetration by tail and oviposition? Or, the even-more-ODAO-than-the-other-optional-details request: Ursa pregnant with the dragon's eggs/children?

Hamilton – Miranda

Art-specific prompts, because I have less art prompts for this section:
- Period costumes!
- Alternately, the characters in different settings than canon (this canon is particularly ripe for that sort of re-imagining).
- Moments from the album visualised, because again, this canon is particularly good for that.
- 'Between the scenes' moments.
- Unusual art styles, specifically for this canon because it fits.
- Anything that re-creates the atmosphere of the musical.
- Moments in the musical + just add nakedness.
This is my newest fandom (I know, I know, how did I not get into Hamilton at some poi t during the last two and a half years? It's a long story) and I am still in the everything has a shiny glow and I LOVE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING stage, so you can't go wrong here. Seriously.
I'm still very very slowly going through fanworks so forgive me if my prompts are things that everyone has written/drawn at some point and is completely sick of by now.
I don't mind whatever level of historical accuracy you go with—history what history, kind of sort of accurate, as accurate as you can get within the confines of the show, whatever. (I'm basically finished with Chernow's Hamilton bio and moving on to the Washington one, so.) The only thing I ask is that you keep the things LMM changed.
Speaking of which, I really love the themes of how history will reflect you and how you're remembered is based on who tells your story that echo through the show.
For M/M and F/F (this is more fic-specific), I'd love to see period-typical homophobia and the sneaking around and near-discoveries etecetra that would result in.
For this show especially, I'm a fan of canon divergence AUs, alternate histories etc. Just all the what-if moments, please.
Also, genderswap! I'm very interested in what'd happen if any of the characters were of the opposite gender. Just please make sure that if you're switching genders for a M/M or F/F ship, you switch the genders of both characters unless I'm explicitly okay with it being otherwise.
Whatever cast you want to use (current Broadway/OBC/Chicago/West End etc.) to base art/descriptions off is fine! Just not actual historical figures' faces/appearances, please.

Angelica Schuyler/Eliza Schuyler

Angelica's love for Eliza and how it's all-encompassing and the most important thing in her life is one of my favourite parts of the show. (I love my sister more than anything in this life I will choose her happiness over mine every time! And the dismissiveness of 'I'm not here for you', and just everything about their relationship ♥.) Either completely required Angelica/Eliza or unrequited Angelica->Eliza would be great.

I'd love to see Angelica and Eliza as young unmarried women—going to balls and seeking out suitors (and coming home and discussing or, for shippy stuff, discussing them, or a scene with the two of them dancing together after the ball?), sneaking out of the house to go downtown, reading pamphlets and writings together and getting caught up in the ideas and ideals of the Revolution. I want to know more about the two of them before they meet Hamilton, more about what kind of people they were.

Or after their marriages and their separation from each other, maybe something about the letters they wrote to each other? Or supporting each other through war and childbirth, even when it's from afar? Or, during Take a Break, what did Angelica and Eliza get up to upstate while Hamilton wasn't there? (Boating, walks, playing with the children, letting go of their decorum and climbing trees/getting all muddy, trading kisses, holding hands and picnicking where there's no-one to see, in bed together?) Or Angelica comforting Eliza and picking up the pieces after The Reynolds Pamphlet, maybe, or Angelica trying to comfort Eliza after Philip's death and the subsequent events? Or Eliza relying on Angelica after Hamilton's death, the two of them grieving for him and building something from his death? (And maybe getting together post-canon?)

Angelica angst! She's given up so much for her sister, so I'd love to see more on everything she's sacrificed. All the things she's given up lying behind her, fading into the background, while she's looking at Eliza and only Eliza?) Also, if you're up for Angelica->Eliza, maybe angst about how she would treat her sister so much better (Eliza is the best thing in our lives!), and how she's never going to have her? Or for both requited and unrequited shippiness, if you want to play with the taboo aspect of incest (angst! Guilt! Repression! Kinking on it being taboo/their similarities!) that'd be great too.

Elizabeth “Eliza” Schuyler/Maria Reynolds

Okay, so they've never even met in the musical, but spurned mistress/betrayed wife definitely has lots and lots and lots of potential, especially for all the angst-y and/or fucked-up art and fic (though if you want to take it in a more fluffy direction, I definitely won't complain, as long as there's still some angst!).

Something that strikes me is that, in addition to her lower social status, Maria Reynolds is so much younger than either Eliza or Hamilton. I'd love anything that plays with their different stauses, and the difference in their age and experience.

Maybe Eliza taking out her frustrations and anger on Maria, and/or punishing Maria for 'seducing' her husband? Which is what she thinks, obviously, you and I know that Hamilton is at fault. Whatever level of consent you want on Maria's part is fine! If humiliation is your thing, I would love that, and maybe figging and/or spanking? Or, if you don't want to go in the smutty hatesex direction but still want to write/draw tense, post-Reynold Pamphlet anger and power dynamics and angst and violence that'd also be great!

One thing I find interesting is that Eliza's condemnation of Hamilton isn't just 'you brought this girl into our bed', it's 'you told the whole world how you brought this girl into our bed', and also that Maria gives Hamilton a look but is otherwise completely silent. Of course this is completely optional, but, if you want to, I'd love to see how the Reynolds Pamphlet affects Eliza and Maria in ways, socially, politically, and personally, that it doesn't Hamilton because they're women, and them bonding over that.

Alternately, Eliza and Maria slowly falling for each other after Hamilton's death or after Eliza finds out about Hamilton's cheating and telling the whole world that he cheated? In this case, a sweet moment between them—in bed kissing, out walking or reading together, sewing together, watching over Eliza's children.

Or an AU where Maria finds Eliza instead of Hamilton, and Eliza is the one who cheats? Or an AU where Eliza and Hamilton cheat on each other simultaneously with Maria? Eliza would have to have an extremely intense connection to Maria and have enough factors combining to make her cheat, I think, so it would be hugely a matter of fate. How would that change things, and how would it not change things?

Harry Potter – J. K. Rowling

I haven't watched Fantastic Beasts or read The Cursed Child, and, while I don't mind spoilers for the former, I'd prefer not to read or see anything about the latter. I'm sorry, but it's just not my thing.
Magic! I adore magic, and all the wackiness of the magical world. I'd love to see explorations of both the dark, not-so-dark, and in-between magics, especially the inbetweens (how do you call something Dark Magic? Where do you draw the line? And how blurred is the aforesaid line?).
I'd love to see more about how the wizarding world works, particularly the Ministry of Magic. Are there any commercial centres other than in Diagon Alley? How does the wizarding world work in other countries? How does the Order work? Basically, the nitty-gritty details we didn't see in the books. We only got a general overview of how magical society functions (I imagine Hogwarts is very isolated from the rest of society), and that through Harry's limited PoV, and I'd love to know more.
Several of the characters are, ahem, magical beings, magical creatures (except obviously not, because they're people, and even that word is a perfect embodiment of prejudice against them). An exploration of the magic and mechanics of this would be lovely. How do other people see them? How do they see themselves? And, of course, dealing with prejudice and discrimination is more than fine
HP is rife with weird, wacky, and wonderful(ly spooky) settings and magical artefacts, and I'd love to see them incorporated into your story/artwork. Ghosts, Inferi, Dark Creatures—I'd love to see them all!
War, especially if you're writing the First War with Voldemort. It was a war run from the shadows, and I'd love to see something about that—perhaps Order missions and meetings? I'd love to see how the war fucks everything up, and people dying and suspicions cast on each other.

Amelia Bones/Griselda Marchbanks

Brought to you by my fascination with Griselda Marchbanks—I'd love to know more about her, and Amelia too. I'd love to see their professional lives, and them interacting with each other in that context (and perhaps they even met at work, too?), and I'd basically love anything to do with the two of them.

The two of them collaborating on some interdepartmental work, maybe (because O.W.L.s are affiliated with the Ministry, right?). Or maybe something about Amelia's work especially once she becomes the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement? I'd love to see them with their heads bent over some work, bouncing off ideas and/or arguing.

Or, something about the First War? What did Griselda do? Was she ever part of the Order, did she fight Voldemort some other way, or did she stay away? What were her opinions on her partner's work for the Order? (And what were her opinions on Amelia's work post-GoF? Did the two of them disagree about Voldemort? Or did she know about the Order and was actually more active in it than Amelia?

Amelia Bones/Minerva McGonagall

I'd love to see more of Professor McGonagall's personal life, and, from what we've heard about Amelia Bones, they seem like they'd fit together very well. Women who are very busy with their professional lives and have trouble making time for personal things is a narrative kink for me, so whatever you do with that would be lovely, as would all the angst (and oh the angst, especially post-OotP—Minerva grieving her, perhaps?) and origin stories. And perhaps the two of them working together in the First War?

I'd love to see the two of them working for the Order for either war, not just fighting but tactics and planning, or covert ops and intelligence-gathering missions. Maybe that's how they fall for each other? Or maybe falling for each other pre-First War, through a mutual admiration of each other's work?

Or maybe conflict because both of them are very busy and they have very little time for each other? Or arguments related to work, especially as to how Hogwarts functions as a semi-independent institution, and how much free rein it's allowed?

Bellatrix Black Lestrange/Narcissa Black Malfoy/Andromeda Black Tonks

Sistercest! I'd love something dark and fucked-up for this pairing, and it's not a 'ship that's likely to end well. Either when they're younger (and betrayal and angst on both sides, after Andromeda leaves?) or DH-era, and the fucked-up-ness that would entail. (In fic, any two of this constellation as endgame is fine, as long as OT3 is the predominant pairing.) I'd love to see the similarities and differences between them, especially with regard to Andromeda.

For art especially, visual similarities and differences—the description JKR gives are sparse enough that you can do almost anything with this (though I'd love to see a new interpretation rather than the film actresses, if that's okay with you). And for both fic and art, I'm pretty interested in how there are common threads between them, but they're radically different. (Bellatrix and Andromeda in particular being so different to each other with Narcissa having commonalities with both of them is pretty interesting.)

Or an AU where Voldemort doesn't exist—what would happen? Would Bellatrix in particular be who she is without Voldemort, would Andromeda have left with the extremism being at the level it was?

Cho Chang/Luna Lovegood

Ravenclaw Tower shenanigans! Even Ravenclaws need to relax, after all, after all those long hours of studying—and what better way to relax than sex?

Or, if you'd prefer to write/draw something non-smutty, maybe something set in the future, the two of them getting together, maybe at a Ministry event, or (correct me if I'm wrong), we don't know what Cho's eventual career is, so maybe she and Luna go into the same line of work? Or maybe the two of them getting together at Hogwarts, post-OotP, maybe? (Although that may involve some clashing after what happened in OotP)

I'd love to see the two of them discussing something, and the two of them have completely different worldviews so their approaches would be very different, and maybe they get heated up? Or one of them pulling the other in by the tie to kiss her, or the two of them snuggled up in Ravenclaw tower.

Fleur Delacour/Gabrielle Delacour

Sistercest again! Please no underage Gabrielle (unless it's Gabrielle having an unrequited crush on Fleur, with absolutely no reciprocation on Fleur's part, in which case, yes, please!), but other than that, I'd love anything ranging from dark to sweet and gentle.

For more specific prompts: unrequited crushes, again, or maybe Gabrielle comes to her sister for [reason] when they're older, after one of their parents has died? Or maybe it's a Veela thing, and Gabrielle and Fleur aren't immune to each other's charms? Maybe the two of them Veela sex pollen-ing each other accidentally and things go from there? (For art, I'd love to see them watching themselves in a mirror as they kiss/have sex.)

I'd love to see what older!Gabrielle looks like, and I'd love to see Fleur and Gabrielle being domestic together. Or the two of them dancing together, or at the beach! Or maybe they revisit Beauxbaton at some point?

Fleur Delacour/Ginny Weasley

Ginny noticing all the little things which annoy her about Fleur, and going on and on about these things, sounds suspiciously like the beginnings of a crush to me! I don't mind either unrequited love or an AU, but whichever it is, I'd love snark and banter and Fleur's accent. I'd adore Ginny being annoyed and infatuated at the same time, and Fleur's obliviousness would be an added bonus! Hatesex, maybe?

Fleur I imagine as being a lot taller than Ginny, so Ginny reaching up to kiss Fleur, maybe? Or dubcon because of Fleur's Veela powers and Ginny coming under her enchantment? (Or a prenegotiated Veela sex pollen scene, I'd love that too!)

If you go AU, I'd love to see them fighting in the Battle of Hogwarts together! Or maybe they get together post-Battle of Hogwarts, maybe even much later in life when Ginny's playing for the Harpies (and I'd love to see what Fleur's job is in this 'verse)?

Fleur Delacour/Nymphadora Tonks

I confess, I adore this ship mostly for its visual potential, and yes, this is a more art-heavy prompt than fic-heavy. For once! I love Tonks' Metamorphmagus abilities, and something playing with that would be wonderful. I just want to see them laughing together! And something playing up their differences, perhaps? (And maybe Tonks pining not for Remus, but for Fleur in HBP? And them getting together at the end?)

Again, if you go with the AU situation, I'd love to see them fighting together at the Battle of Hogwarts (although hopefully not with a tragic ending). Or maybe the two of them are the ones at Shell Cottage? Or even f!preg (or Fleur/Tonks/Remus/Bill, if you're so inclined). Or maybe Fleur and Tonks get together after DH because of [reason]?

Tonks using her Metamorphmagus abilities for sex! Roleplay, perhaps (maybe fake kidnapping and/or interrogation, or maaaaybe selfcest roleplay), or some sort of guessing game? (Or tentacles! Tentacles are always good.)

Marlene McKinnon/Dorcas Meadowes

I'd love to see them in school, or during the First War. War stories always have my love, and I'd love something about the Lost Generation and how they've all lost their childhoods and youth. Something about fighting together in the Order, perhaps, and also angst about war and loss and betrayal? And this is one of those stories that won't get a happily-ever-after; a focus on that, maybe?

How did they fall in love? During their school years, or afterwards? Did they ever hold hands by the lake, or kiss in the common room after lights out? Or did they have their first kiss during a mission, or after a mission? Or were they not in love at all, was it more of a friends-with-benefits thing?

Or I'd love to see them interacting as a couple with the rest of the Order—who knew, and who didn't? Who did they spend the most time with? Did they live together or share a flat with friends? What were their day jobs, or did they work for the Order full time?

Marvel Cinematic Universe

I'd prefer not to see Darcy Lewis at all except if there's Darcy/Jane, and I'd prefer that Coulson, Loki, Tony, Peter Parker, and Vision aren't main characters, please. Please no BuckyNat, as well.
There's such a vast world to play in in the MCU, and so much of the characters' lives we don't know about because of the way time works in the movies! There's a lot of room for exploration and worldbuilding. My favourite MCU movies are the Cap movies, and I'd love to see what happens between them (and the. Avengers movies)! Between Avengers & TWS, between TWS & AoU, between AoU & CW—I'm really curious as to what happens in the in-between years where obviously important stuff has happened.
I'm very interested in politics for this fandom, because so much of the storyline is influenced by in-world politics which we don't get to see. For example, HYDRA's ideology, the politics behind the US supersoldier program, Project Insight being authorized, the Accords—there's so much to explore.
CW brought up some interesting questions about the fact that the majority of the problems the Avengers deal with are things they've caused, albeit sometimes necessarily, so maybe something about that.
For this fandom especially I'd love to see outsider POVs, whether that be people who are working closely with the characters or people who only see the characters on TV.
I love the sheer scale of the events of the movies, so maybe something about that?
There's a common thread of the end not justifying the means across the Cap movies, so something about that, maybe?
With so many supervillains floating around, there's plenty of room for lots of H/C (or H without C) with characters being captured and tortured and injured.
I love fun and asskicking and just superheroes being superheroes too.
I adore the fact that the characters have very individual senses of humour!
Other things I'm not fond of include AoS in general, the way AoS handled SHIELD in particular, all the Avengers living at the Avengers tower (especially post-Avengers but pre-TWS; I don't really mind pre-AoU since there's some element of canon to it).

Agent Carter-specific

Can I just say 'I'd love absolutely ANYTHING for this fandom'? Because if I were to compile a complete list of everything I adore about Agent Carter I'd probably be here all day. I love all the characters and ship basically everything in Agent Carter.
I am ridiculously sad that the show was cancelled, so anything post-Season Two would be great.
Since I can't say 'anything' (or, well, I could but it wouldn't be helpful): I adore the secret spy shenanigans and Peggy's over-the-top badassery. All the secret agent things are ridiculously iddy for me.
I love the very human antagonists and the handwavey science of Season One, but I also love the supernatural elements (and obviously again handwavey science) of Season Two.
International conspiracies and shadowy spy organizations!
I love how magnified everything is (and I think Agent Carter is a lot more comics-style than the MCU).
I love that Peggy is arrogant and over-confident and dismissive and kind of an asshole. (Also a great person, but she has flaws that aren't tied to her being a woman and I adore that, and also Agent Carter was actually what made me ship Peggy/Steve because they are ridiculously similar and yet completely different.)
The humour! I love Peggy's deadpan humour especially.
I also love that Peggy is the only female agents in an organization of, um, male agents, and she faces and fights misogyny even after she's proved herself over and over again, but she also has lots of significant female relationships and there's no Exception To The Norm narrative.
I also love what little we got to see of Peggy with the Howling Commandos and how much more comfortable she is in the field than behind a desk.
The end of Season Two left so many threads open, but then Season Three didn't happen and I'm so disappointed. So maybe something set post-canon?

Angie Martinelli/Peggy Carter

I love both Peggy and Angie so bloody much, and the actresses have great chemistry with each other, and Peggy's and Angie's dynamic in Season One really does read very much like a romantic subplot to me, so I ship them very, very hard.

Maybe something set post-Season One, Peggie and Angie finally acting on their feelings? Maybe kissing, maybe going out on a date together? Or, I'd also love to see them post-Season Two. You can just handwave away all the romantic plotlines if you want, or maybe Peggy and Sousa break up amicably eventually, just Peggy and Angie shenanigans, please. (And I know that Angie didn't appear in Season Two except for a cameo because the actress had scheduling conflicts, but I'm still disappointed, so if you go with an AU where Angie plays a bigger part in S2, I'd also love that.)

And I'd love to see what Angie thinks of Peggy's career in a super-secret organization, and how she adjusts to her girlfriend's...erratic work schedule, and the constant danger Peggy's—and by extension Angie's—life is in. And Peggy's not very good at finding a work-life balance, I imagine, so maybe something about that? Or maybe something about Angie finally getting her breakout Broadway role?

Or maybe the two of them just spending time together with each other, kissing lazily or bantering and flirting and exchanging horror stories about work together, or having sex or dancing. Or the two of them at Angie's workpace, with Peggy sitting at the counter and Angie behind it, or Peggy watching Angie finally on Broadway, or maybe Peggy throwing herself in front of Angie to protect her from bullets/fists/etc.?

Dottie Underwood/Natasha Romanov

Honestly, for me, a lot of this relationship is that I like the types of characters both of them are, I think their actresses are extremely gorgeous, and I'd love to see them together in any way or form.

Dottie and Natasha seem, to me, to be very similar in some ways, not just in their past, but also in their mannerisms. I love that both of them are very adept at wearing masks, at reading situations and doing what needs to be done in those situations, at manipulating people, at killing and disabling people, and just at spying in general. I love the idea of child soldiers who know of nothing except being weapons slowly finding their personhood as grown adults. I love their similar backstories, and how, in canon, Dottie never really manages to get away (and is a lot more morally grey than Nat) but Natasha does.

Maybe Dottie is Natasha's mentor in the Red Room? Or maybe she's the one who helps Natasha to get out, eventually? Or maybe she and Natasha work for opposing organizations on a contract basis? Or maybe an AU (or kind of partly using Nat's comic backstory), Natasha was also trained by Leviathan, only a few years after Dottie? Whether you want older woman/younger woman, or an AU where they're the same age, is fine with me, and I'd love mentor/mentee, rivals having sex or enemies to lovers, finding comfort in each other, or whatever else you choose. (I definitely wouldn't mind side Peggy/Natasha and/or Peggy/Dottie for this relationship.)

Dottie Underwood/Peggy Carter

I love both Peggy and Dottie a ridiculous amount, and as with Angie/Peggy, their actresses are both gorgeous, and they both have a ridiculous amount of chemistry. (And also the fact that they kissed in canon; or rather, Dottie noncon kissed Peggy. There's also that :D)

For this relationship, I'd love alllll the noncon or dubcon. Or just noncon kissing or badtouch, or one character tied up (or helpless in some other way) and at the other character's mercy. (Or both of them tied up, or both of them being non-con'd, or...)

I love the dynamic between Peggy and Dottie. I love that Peggy is the one person who really gets Dottie, when Dottie usually just manipulates everyone else, and I love the push/pull relationship they have going, where Dottie fights Peggy and wants to be Peggy at the same time, and where Peggy sees Dottie as her foe but also feels responsible for her, and they both respect each other as equals and rivals in a way their male colleagues don't. I love the cat-and-mouse (well, cat-and-cat, really) vibe they have going, and the fact that they end up opposite sides but team up anyway. I loved their interactions in both Season One (the flirting and the weird almost-love triangle between Angie, Peggy, and Dottie! The fight and 'I can be anything I want'! The kiss!) and, well, Season Two was pure gold for Dottie/Peggy (Peggy breaking Dottie out and finding her predictable! Dottie not betraying Peggy until she's forced to talk by Whitney Frost! Peggy coming for Dottie!).

Anything set at any point would be lovely; there's plenty of time for hatesex hookups between scenes. Or maybe post-canon, they find each other again, perhaps still rivals? Or maybe Dottie decides to go straight and Peggy helps her (and maybe that decision doesn't last)? Or an AU where they're somehow both on the same side from the beginning?

Dottie Underwood/Whitney Frost, Peggy Carter/Whitney Frost

Whitney Frost's zero matter powers are absolutely fascinating and there are so many uses for them, and her being so damn powerful and also more than a little bit deranged is basically catnip to me, and I adored seeing Peggy and Dottie fight her and would have loved MOAR. Whitney torturing Dottie was just so much id fuel and her being able to break Dottie is just aaargh. And there were so many glimpses of what could have been a deliciously fucked up rivalry/relationship between Peggy and Whitney in S2 (Peggy destroys everything! Whitney hates her so much! Peggy is dedicated to taking her down!) and I will be forever bitter we didn't get to see more of them. (If you want to write/draw Peggy/Dottie/Whitney I'd be down for that, too.)

If you want to go in the noncon or dubcon direction, that'd be great. If you want to go in the non-noncon direction, that'd also be great. Just anything to do with these women, please.

Peggy and/or Dottie visiting Whitney when she's locked away, post-canon perhaps? Maybe they're trying to reform her, maybe they just go there to check up on her, maybe they're gloating. Or maybe Dottie or Peggy under Whitney's clutches, being menaced by her while they're tied up? Her using her zero matter powers to torture Dottie and Peggy? Or getting more hands-on, teasing and torturing them sexually? Hair-pulling, groping, fingering, or maybe she uses 'tools'—nipple clamps, vibrators, wax, dildos, floggers etc.?

Or maybe Whitney breaks out at some point in the future and Peggy and/or Dottie have to chase her down? This can lead to either non- or dub-con, or Whitney slowly falling for whoever's chasing her. Or I'd love to see a canon divergence AU, where Whitney was stopped before she went completely power-drunk, somehow?

Natasha Romanov/Peggy Carter

Spies and spying and spy shenanigans! Just everything to do with intelligence agencies and intragency policies and politics and foeyay and/or mentor/mentee, please.

Maybe Peggy supervises Natasha's defection to SHIELD? Natasha defects because of Peggy, maybe? Or maybe they have a foeyay thing going and Peggy manages to convince Natasha? Or Peggy seduces Natasha over to SHIELD?

Or Natasha visits Peggy in her nursing home, maybe? Advice dispensing, banter, gentle kissing, angst?

Or, if you're okay with background Peggy/Dottie, Peggy watches Natasha from afar and thinks of how similar she is to Dottie, maybe? Or Peggy's relationship with Natasha starts as Natasha being some kind of substitute for Dottie? (And either it remains fucked up or Peggy falls for Nat as Nat eventually.)

Or maybe an AU where they're closer in age to each other? (But with some kind of age gap still, please, the larger the better.) Maybe Cold War era rivalry with spy shenanigans? Thwarting each other's plans, fighting each other, kissing each other as a distraction technique, accidentally(-on-purpose) falling into bed together.

Or any kind of foeyay, really, I don't mind.

Nakia/Okoye

I have a Thing for soldier/spy, and Nakia and Okoye's interactions in the movie are wonderful (the car chase! The argument! The hug!), so I ship them like burning (and also because they're attractive I have simple needs okay).

They fight so well together and they seem to be so in sync with each other and know where the other is moving in their fight scenes—do they train a lot together? Do they help each other out during training (because they both have different areas of expertise)? Do training sessions devolve into something else? (Is there torture resistance training? Endurance training?) Or the two of them on a mission together, maybe, post-canon or pre-canon, the War Dogs and Dora Milaje working with each other for Reasons?

Or maybe Nakia training to be one of the Dora Milaje until she eventually decides to follow another path? (Would Okoye see this as a betrayal perhaps? Angst would be lovely either way.)

I love that they're so different from each other, and that they have clear ideological differences but still respect and care for each other. (The scene in the throne room was just damn. Speaking of which, what would happen in an AU where Killmonger's plans took longer to be set in motion and Nakia et al hid out with the Jabari and formed a resistance? Would Okoye remain loyal to N'Jadaka, and angst because of that, or would Okoye eventually defect, maybe along with some of the other Dora Milaje?)

Or post-canon (or pre-canon), the two of them clashing because of Okoye's more isolationist stance, while Nakia is more of a bleeding heart? The two of them learning to reconcile their ideological differences?

Natasha Romanov/Peggy Carter

Spies and spying and spy shenanigans! Just everything to do with intelligence agencies and intragency policies and politics and foeyay and/or mentor/mentee, please.

Or Natasha visits Peggy in her nursing home, maybe? Advice dispensing, banter, gentle kissing, angst?

Or any kind of foeyay, really, I don't mind.

Natasha Romanov/Sharon Carter

So, basically all my MCU pairings are 'I love these characters and I think the actresses are gorgeous and they'd work well together', and Natasha/Sharon isn't an exception. (And Nat and Sharon are just great characters, and I wish we'd seen more of Sharon especially, and Nat too in CA:CW.)

They both work for super-secret government agencies (the same super-secret government agency, even, at one point!) but they have very different pasts and very different skillsets and I'd love to see anything to do with that. Sharon being the Director and founder of SHIELD's granddaughter vs. Natasha being a Russian assassin and a lot more of an outsider is a very interesting contrast, in my opinion.

I also think that they probably have very different worldviews, given how they were brought into SHIELD and their roles at SHIELD, and I'd love to see anything about that. Or, post-TWS, they probably both have mixed feelings about the fall of SHIELD (that thing in AoU didn't happen shut up), but different kinds of mixed feelings, and I'd love to see more about that. Or, during Civil War, the two of them are probably the most sane people around, except maybe T'Chaka, (but, again, they do what they do for completely different reasons), and by the end of CW, Nat is on the run while Sharon isn't. (Though I can't see that lasting for long if Sharon's role in the whole fiasco is discovered.)

So maybe post-TWS or post-AoU, the two of them on some mission together? Or maybe they stumble upon each other by accident in some mundane place? Or maybe pre-TWS, they're on a SHIELD mission together, or maybe Sharon's the one who brings Nat into SHIELD (and she's on Steve-duty because Nat asked her to)? Or post-CW, them on the run together, possibly Nat rescuing Sharon after she's been discovered and arrested? Or Sharon still holding her position and helping Nat & co secretly?

Natasha Romanov/Wanda Maximoff

My reasons for shipping them are basically, again, that I love the characters, think the actresses are beautiful, and think that they'd work well together.

I'm kind of disappointed that we didn't get to see Natasha and Wanda interact much, as the only two female Avengers at that point. Wanda in particular has significant relationships with both Steve and Clint, who relate to her in one way or another and they've had experiences similar to hers in one way or another. So the lack of interaction with Natasha is kind of disappointing, since I think Natasha would understand Wanda's determination to make up for her past very much, and also understand how she came to work with Ultron.

But, at the same time, post-CW I think Wanda would be wary of Natasha, because Natasha was Team Iron Man for some time, and I think Wanda would see them as a huge part of the reason that she was in the Raft, where she was basically tortured (I mean, Team IM didn't have any part in the Raft in canon, not even Tony really, but Wanda doesn't know that, I think).

And I love both Nat and Wanda as Avengers, so I'd love to see how they and their relationship fit with the rest of the group, either post-AoU or post-CW.

So, maybe the two of them on the run together post-CW, maybe along with the rest of the Avengers? Maybe Nat helps Steve break into the Raft? Or maybe an AU where Natasha is the one who breaks Wanda out of house arrest? Or maybe the two of them on an Avengers mission pre-CW? I'd just love to see the two of them together, art or fic, in any way or form.

Original Works

Because original works is so different from my other requests my prompts are going to be very different for this section than for the other sections. Most of the stuff I like are mentioned in the 'general likes' section and the genre sections (because mostly for this section I'd just love anything that's remotely related to my likes, so let your id run free). There'll be 4-6 short prompts in bullet points for each pairing instead of a long paragraph because of that. See the vid likes section for vid-related likes/ideas specific to original works.

Beleaguered General Of A Rebel Army/Her Much-Younger Female Aide

I'd love to see any setting for this. Perhaps it's a rebel army of a fictional world rebelling against a tyrant (is it a fictional fantasy world, and if so is there any magic involved? Is either the general or her aide a practitioner of magic?). Or maybe it's an IRL historical setting, maybe with OCs instead of real historical figures, or maybe just even real historical figures? (Perhaps a genderswapped-to-female version of historical figures?) Or an alternate history type thing set in our world?
Power dynamics! I'd love to see the aide kneeling to/bowing to the general, or kissing her general's hand.
Does the general ever take out her frustrations at the war effort on the aide, or loose her temper with her aide? Or does the aide ever misbehave and need to be punished?
Or maybe the aide isn't satisfied with her position and wants to rise to greater heights? (Or maybe the aide worked really hard to get where she is and is overawed and amazed by the general?)
Perhaps the aftermath of a battle, where either the general or her aide has been injured, or one of them falling sick?
Or the two of them working together late into the night, or the general discussing tactics with her aide and getting her unofficial advice, or venting at the aide? I'm just here for alll the competence porn.

Female Journalist/Female Public Relations Practitioner

So, how does the journalist meet the PR person? Through an event they both have to attend for professional reasons? Through a client the journalist is investigating? Or by complete accident at something not work related?
They both have very busy lives, probably, so how do they make time to see each other? Date nights, commitments, but maybe having to cancel because emergencies wait for no woman?
How do they manage to find a balance between their work, in which they're in complete opposition to each other and, by definition, each hinders the others' job, and their personal life and relationship?
Or are they working in different fields? Is the journalist perhaps a war reporter or otherwise involved in dangerous situations, or has the PR person been bodily threatened/injured as a part of her job?
Or is it a one-time hookup, or a hatesex thing they keep coming back to?
Do their colleagues/clients/bosses give them shit for hooking up with/dating the enemy?

Goddess/Virgin Sacrifice

Non/dubcon or complete consent are both a-okay with me! Is the birgin a willing sacrifice, or is she dragged kicking and screaming to the altar? Or maybe she's willing initially, but has second thoughts once the actual sacrifice begins? Or maybe she's unwilling but the goddess convinces her?
Is the sacrifice a princess, commoner, noble, or a slave? Or a foreigner accidentally wandering into the land?
Does the goddess spirit take the virgin off somewhere, to keep? Either the princess falling in love with the goddess (Stockholm Syndrome?) or still being unwilling could be great!
How does the actual sacrifice take place? Is the virgin tied to an altar/post/rock etc.? Is the ritual sexual or is it violent but non-sexual? How is she prepared by people of the village/country etc, both physically and mentally, for the sacrifice? Are there specific elements for the ritual and/or ritualistic clothing?

Newly-Crowned Queen/Princess of Another Country

Is the princess' country an ally of the queens', so the princess attends the queen's coronation as an envoy? Or the princess is there for other diplomatic reasons?
Or has the princess been at court for some time as a part of a fostering exchange?
Or is the princess from an enemy country and somehow falls into the queen's hands?
I'd love to see the queen consolidating her power through political manoeuvring, if that's your thing, and the princess helping her or putting stumbling blocks in the way.
If that's your thing, again, an older, more experienced princess and a young queen who becomes more competent and self-assured over the course of the fic might be interesting.

Older Female Soldier/Younger Female Soldier

I love the formality of the military chain of command and I love competent, kick-ass characters and I love power dynamics. This is basically a combination of all those loves! And the setting can be historical (any period would be great!), fantasy, in spaaaaace, futuristic...wharecer you like.
I'd love junior officer/senior officer (senior officer/her XO would be great), junior officer/senior NCO, junior enlisted person/senior NCO etc. would all be great! And army, navy, air force (and marines) are all good.
Do the differences in rank worry them? Are there fraternization policies, and if there are, do they have to sneak around to not get caught? (Kissing/quickies in secluded areas, closets etc. would be great!) Do they caught, and what's the reaction to that?
The two of them in some dangerous situation together, or on a mission, or going out guns blazing, or just generally in battle. Or tactical meetings, or poring over maps/navigational programs and making plans, or navigating military politics. Or maybe having to face incompetency from command together, and/or leaning on each other to get through horrific situations
Or anything to do with power dynamics and the chain of command!
If you want to play with morality (soul-searching after following orders they knew were unlawful and/or morally wrong, killing civilians who get caught in the line of fire, experiencing something horrific and doing something horrific as a result) that'd also be great.

Presidential Candidate/Her Most Trusted Female Advisor

I don't mind whatever country you choose to have the presidential candidate running for office in, as long as the president isn't just a figurehead. (Heck, a president in spaaaace or a president of a fantasy country would be great too.)
If loyalty kink is yout thing I'd love lots of loyalty please, both sexual and non-sexual.
I'd love to see the two of them campaigning together, and also winding down after a long exhausting day campaigning.
I'd also love to see them preparing for a debate/speech or scoping an opponent's campaign or going through briefs or...
Politics and policymaking would be lovely!

Princess Entering An Arranged Marriage/Her Princess Bride

How does the marriage come about being arranged? Is it a traditional custom to arrange the marriage of a princess to a princess of a neighbouring country? Or is it to consolidate a treaty/alliance? Or is the marriage made to stop a war?
Or is the princess bride supposed to be a prince groom and looks like one, but the princess entering an arranged marriage discovers that her groom is a bride? (By happy coincidence because she doesn't want to marry a man.)
Do the princess and her bride get caught up in some adventure in search of a missing item/neighbouring country's prince/ship?
Are the princess and her bride from a (pseudo-)historical setting, or from spaaaaace, or from a fantasy setting, or from the future, or from a modern-ish world? Or are they from two different worlds and the marriage is an interdimensional peaceh offering?

Princess/Female Knight, Queen/Her Younger Female Knight

Loyalty! I would love anything to do with loyalty and/or politics, please.
The knight kneeling and/or kissing her queen's/princess' hand, or otherwise pledging her loyalty. Or the queen awarding the knight/princess some honour, or watching her ride off to battle, or receiving her as she returns bruised and bloodied from battle.
Or maybe the knight gets captured and tortured, and H/C from that?
Or, is the knight the Queen's/princess' silent assassin/her right hand in the dark, doing the Queen's/princess bidding, spying and managing spies and silently getting rid of people she needs getting rid of and interrogating prisoners and otherwise doing horrible things in the name of the Queen/for her princess? (And I imagine the dynamic would be very different depending on whether it's a queen or princess/)
Or the knight ascending from squire to knight, and the beginning of their relationship?

Princess Undercover as Commoner/Female Outlaw

For what reason is the princess undercover? For her safety while travelling? Because she's trying to run away from her castle and there's a bounty on her head because of that? Because someone's threatening her life? To draw out a gang of outlaws?
How does the outlaw come upon her? During a robbery? In a pub? The princess trying to join the outlaw's band? Or the outlaw trying to romance the princess/commoner?
Is the identity of the princess discovered or not? If so, is she given more...creative treatment, or is she unharmed and used for ransom?
Is there Stockholm Syndrome involved, or is it the princess falling uncoerced, if reluctantly, for the outlaw?
I'd love the princess being manhandled and pushed and pulled around roughly by the outlaw (and tied up? Gagged and/or blindfolded?) if that's your thing, or the princess turning the tables on her.

Star Wars

I don't play hard-and-fast with EU; I don't mind complete faithfulness, completely ignoring its existence, or something inbetween. (I consider the novelizations part of the EU).
Planets! I'd love explorations of different planets and their people!
Politics! Behind-the-scene views and nitty-gritty details are always my favourite things, and I'd especially love this for characters who are Senators of Rebellion/Resistance leaders.
I'd love to see traumatized, exhausted characters stretched to their limits, and exhausted, harried leaders stretched to their limits.
Smutty things: lots and lots of loyalty kink, please, and superior officers/people under them, and kneeling and D/s. The command hierarchies of both the Empire and the Rebellion are just made for this!
The Empire—I'd love to see more about what sort of things they do.
The Force, and the Jedi, and explorations of that, and what legends about the Jedi and stories about them remain in the Empire.
I'm interested in the way the Jedi fail. If the attachment thing is what you love, then go with it, but I'd also love to see a different take. I've always wondered why the Jedi—a religious order which you could leave if you wanted to—are considered wrong for the non-attachment thing (and I admit that the demonization of Buddhist culture and lumping different kinds of Buddhism plus a few other Eastern religions together isn't my favourite thing!). I'd love a take on the Jedi where the Jedi's failings are that it's not made more explicit that leaving is OK, that they get too bogged down in politics instead of doing what's right, and that they encourage attachment in the form of the (very close) Master/Padawan relationship (and whatever else faults, I'm sure there are many!). A respectful take on so-called 'Eastern' religions would be much appreciated!
Regarding Anakin—I understand his position, and where he's coming from, but 'it's all Obi-Wan's/Yoda's/Padmé's/Qui-Gon's fault' is not my thing, and I have zero sympathy for the fact that he killed little children. Reluctantly, maybe, (and not-so-reluctantly with the Tuskens) but he killed little children, and I don't really like that. At all. What I would enjoy is an AU where Anakin left the Jedi because he realized that he wanted attachments.
Or just ignoring the attachments things in favour of all the ships is fine as well!

Leia Organa/Mon Mothma

I'd love Leia/Mon Mothma in any form. Specific prompts include mentorship, politican-ly peers and in a casual relationship (before Leia gets together with Han, though), or Leia going to Mon Mothma for help with the Resistance after Ben Falls, and finding comfort in an old friend maybe wasn't part of the plan and certainly not officially sanctioned, but...

For art, maybe Mon Mothma mentoring Leia, or the two of them just talking. Or something pre-TFA but only by a few years, a quiet love scene, General Organa and the former leader of the Rebellion and of the New Republic.

Mon Mothma knew Padmé—does she put two and two together and see whose daughter Leia is? Does their relationship start because Leia looks up to Mon? Are they ever caught in a compromising situation by colleagues/tabloids/Rebel technicians? Do they have long arguments with each other about the minutiae of policy and politics? Does Mon ever command Leia in bed, or is it the other way around? If you want this to go kind of skeevy, I'm fine with that, but I'm also fine with non-skeeviness; whatever you want to write/draw is lovely!

Or maybe just before they leave for the Death Star, Leia and Mon sharing a quiet moment together, possibly the last time they see each other? Or 'thank goodness we're alive and we've won' sex at any point?

Leia Organa/Rey

I love what little we see of their relationship in the movies, and I want more! Leia advising Rey, them finding kinship in each other, Jedi!Leia teaching Rey about the Force—anything you could think of would be lovely. Maybe a missing scene, with Leia and Rey at the Resistance base, mourning Han together and/or bonding post-TFA? Or maybe post-TLJ, rebuilding the Resistance together?

If you want to focus on the age gap and make it a theme of your work, great! If you don't want that, also great! However, I'd prefer that the age gap remains as it is in canon, and neither of the characters are aged up or down (past/future settings are fine as long as the age gap is present).

An AU where Leia finds Rey earlier, on Jakku, maybe? Or Leia mentoring Rey in some way? Or the two of them leading the Resistance? Or Rey trying to work through her abandonment issues and trying to find the place Leia has in her life? Or Leia trying to work through her desire for Rey so soon after Han's death? Or First Order!Rey who has Leia as her prisoner, or Leia trying to bring Sith!Rey back from the Dark Side?

Smut! This is my one exception to my ageplay DNW—mommy kink for this pairing is more than fine! Rey working out her abandonment issues, maybe? Or Leia having to discipline Rey after Rey does something wrong? (Spanking (pussy spanking, hole spanking etc in addition to traditional spanking) is good, as is more creative punishment.) Or maybe Leia helping Rey with the Force through sex?

Mon Mothma/Tynnra Pamlo

I'm fascinated by Tynnra Pamlo—despite the existence of the Delegation of Two Thousand, I always thought that Bail and Mon were the only senators who were actively part of the Rebellion, but apparently not.

So, Rebellion love affairs and High Command politics! Senator Pamlo is presumably still a Senator, unlike Mon—how did they make it work? Did they meet through the Rebellion (or the Delegation), or did they know each other before hand? What happened to Senator Pamlo once the Senate was dissolved? I have so many questions that don't have answers, and I'm curious.

Mon and Tynnra appear to have conflicting ideas of the hows of the Rebellion, despite sharing an ideology—how do they make it work despite that? Are there conflicts, within their bedroom and in High Command? The way they live, do they even properly have a bedroom?

And behind-the-scenes workings of the Rebellion! I'd love to see High Command meetings, or the Senators engaging in political manoeuvring, or motivating Rebellion troops, or organizing missions, or risk assessment meeting held privately, or infighting.

Padmé Amidala/Cordé/Dormé/Moteé/Versé, Padmé Amidala/Eirtaé/Rabé/Sabé/Saché/Yané

I've put the Queen-era and Senator-era handmaiden 'ships together, because I basically want the same things from both; I hope that's alright!

I'd love to see loyalty kink for these 'ships, and all the powerplay and identity porn, and also just plain porn. Naboo rituals, both of the traditional and sex-y sort, would also be wonderful! (Chastity play—the Queen/Senator has to wear a chastity belt to symbolise her loyalty to Naboo, and she is only allowed relief when the handmaidens, who represent her people, allow it (or allowed no relief at all!)? The Queen submitting to her handmaidens as a ritual reminder that she serves her people? The handmaidens pledging loyalty to their Senator/Queen?)

I would also love to see the handmaidens unwinding with their Queen/Senator after a long day's work (which had maybe involved identity porn shenanigans) and relaxing with each other, maybe teasing and bantering with each other. Or maybe Padmé and her handmaidens getting to know each other initially. Or maybe the Queen/Senator and her handmaidens getting embroiled in some political plot and the handmaidens having to protect their Queen/Senator? Or just identity-swapping shenanigans and politics in general.

Or Padmé lives AUs where Padmé and her handmaidens are involved in the Rebellion! This can go as dark as you like (noncon/dubcon, being captured by the Empire, one of the handmaidens becoming a spy etc), or you can choose not to go dark, too! Whatever is good with you is good with me :).

Padmé Amidala/Sabé

Queen and handmaiden on Naboo or later political intrigue would be lovely, with all the loyalty kink! I'm also very interested in Padmé lives AUs. And this doesn't even have to be very AU! Everything can go as planned in the OT! And Leia's remembering her mother in RotJ makes a little more sense! Basically, I'd love Padmé leading (or organizing or...) the Rebellion with her handmaiden by her side. Or something darker, being lost in space or captured by the Empire.

Or on Naboo, identity porn and loyalty kink because Sabé is Padmé's decoy, maybe? Does the Queen require her closest handmaiden to submit to her, and are Queen and Handmaiden dependent on the clothes and the role? Or maybe the two of them playing politics, and Sabé and Padmé both being Queen on a busy day? Or relaxing after a long day, either on the balcony of their rooms, the gardens, or in bed?

Or do they fall for each other after Padmé's tenure as Queen is finished? How does their relationship work long-distance? Does this go AU, or do they break up pre-AotC?

Phasma/Rey

Go AU all you want! What if Phasma had been the one guarding Rey when she escaped? What if Rey was captured at some point during TLJ/post-TLJ? What if Phasma and Rey fought each other at some point during TLJ? What if the Resistance captures Phasma? What if Rey didn't escape during TFA? The possibilities are endless.

Phasma joining the Resistance—in what kind of universe would that happen? What choices would lead up to her joining the Resistance? Or maybe Rey just seduces Phasma into the Resistance. Or, alternately, why did Phasma join the First Order? And do her reasons for joining the First Order change? For art, a future scene/AU where they fight side by side would be great! (Phasma's armour is v. interesting in particular.) For fic: do they fight together because they're on the same side, or are they reluctantly united by circumstance, fighting a common enemy?

Or does Phasma find Rey on Jakku, pre-canon, a chance meeting, and they have a whirlwind relationship without knowing who the other is? Or does Rey know Phasma from her pre-FO life?

Dubcon/noncon where one of them is the other's prisoner is great, as is Stockholm Syndrome. I'd particularly love to see Phasma towering over a bound Rey, or willingly on her knees for Rey, for art. Or a dark AU where Rey joins the First Order, either post-TLJ or she's recruited on Jakku.

Shmi Skywalker/Original Female Character

F!preg, with Anakin having no father but two mothers? (Or the OFC being a physical manifestation of the Force?) Or maybe Shmi and a fellow slave finding comfort in each other. Something bittersweet, please, and perhaps something about Tatooine slave culture.

Shmi not being from Tatooine—I can't remember whether that's fanon or canon, but if that's your thing, maybe she had a lover pre-Tatooine? And maybe she wasn't born into slavery (and all the angst)? Or maybe even a lover being the reason she's a slave, either because of betrayal or for other reasons.

Or maybe Shmi's days with Gardulla—maybe she had a relationship with another slave there? I'd love to see them comforting each other. Or (completely optional, of course, but) maybe noncon with a guard/one of Gardulla's guests/Gardulla herself?

Or f!preg! Is the OFC a physical manifestation of the Force (Shmi getting lost in the Tatooine desert one day, perhaps)? Or does Anakin have two mothers? And maybe this is a bit noncon-ish as well?

Or maybe post-TPM, Shmi falls for an OFC instead of Cliegg?

The Lord of the Rings – J. R. R. Tolkien

There aren't enough fics based on the Myths Transformed version of Middle-earth, and if that's something you'd like to explore, I'd love that, especially a more scientifically accurate (and sometimes, to my mind, a more tragic-and-dark-but-beautiful) vision of Middle-earth. (Other versions would also be wonderful, of course! This is just a specific thing I don't see much of.)
I love the fact that Tolkien's canon is a patchwork of different stories and mythologies, both in the Doylist and Watsonian sense, and fic exploring that would be wonderful.
Linked with the points above, I'm interested in lived vs. written stories, and Those Pesky Historians, and how unseen forces affect history.
Nature that comes alive.
The mortals and Elves/free will and destiny debate and the role of the Valar would be a wonderful thing to read about—I'd love exploration of any of the philosophical questions of Tolkien's world, really, but especially this, as detailed in the Athrabeth and writings about the role of the Valar.
All things Darkness and Light, really—I'm very fascinated by how these polar opposites work in Tolkien's world (and you can go back right to the beginning, to the Music, if you like), and how Arda is both grim and uplifting at the same time.
I love the way magic and power operate in Tolkien's world—the work he's done to make it believable is wonderful. Writing a green sun, indeed! Anything you can write about this would be welcome and much-adored.
I especially love the Noldor and Númenor, although every Age of Middle-earth holds my heart.
For interspecies relationships, I'd love to see an emphasis on otherness and trying to understand each other.

Arwen/Éowyn/Lothíriel

First, a request: I would very much prefer there wasn't infidelity—open relationships would me much more preferable. Also, any subcombination of this would also be very welcome.

Politics! Politics galore, please, and also queens finding themselves away from home and taking comfort from their peers, and having adventures, and ruling while their husbands are away. For the 'ships, I don't mind either open relationships or infidelity. I'd also like a bit more about the Rohirrim. For Éowyn/Lothíriel especially, but all of these relationships and friendships, I love horses, so if you could include equestrian detail in the fic that'd also be lovely.

I would love to see Arwen and/or Lothíriel visiting Rohan with Éowyn. Perhaps the three of them are on individual errands and meet, or maybe they plan a trip? Or Éowyn (and Lothíriel?) in Gondor for the 'ships involving Arwen, maybe? Or Éowyn (and Arwen) in Dol Amroth? I just love how vividly different these places are from each other and would love something about that, or about them meeting unexpectedly (or planning their rendezvous).

And speaking of trips, I'd also love Éowyn and Arwen and/or Lothíriel having any kind of adventure together. Perhaps them riding out to war? Or maybe going on a diplomatic trip?
And explorations of their heritage! Arwen was brought up in Rivendell among Elves, Lothíriel is from Dol Amorth, and Éowyn is from Rohan.

Arwen/Gilraen

Oooh, I love this for its awkward connotations—“Aragorn, I've already met your Mother. In fact, I've gone down on her too many times to count”. A relationship not based on love, but mutual loss and comfort, staving away loneliness, would also be something I'd love explored (although I'd love to see them madly in love with each other, too). I'd also love bonding, and discussions/portrayals of mortality and immortality.

What does Arwen's mother-in-law think about her? Surely they must have spent time together in Rivendell, possibly in the years before Arwen was betrothed, but after Aragorn had gone away. Did Aragorn's youthful crush result in mutual embarrassment? Or did they laugh over it? And I'd love advice, given and received, and also Elven vs. human perceptions of passing time. Or a darker take on their relationship, Arwen luring Gilraen in through some enchantment

Arwen/Gilraen in the window of time between Aragorn going away and their betrothal would be lovely. Or maybe Arwen comforting Gilraen after Arathorn's death? Or an AU where Arwen doesn't become betrothed to Aragorn (and what that would change, maybe)?

Or maybe something to do with Arwen's Half-Elven heritage, or maybe her name, something about the Evenstar? Or Gilraen combing Arwen's hair, or the two of them out riding together?

Daughter of Arwen/Daughter of Arwen

Incest kink! Smutty fic/art is more than welcome for this pairing. I'd love to see the shenanigans the daughters of Arwen get up to—what sort of adventures do they have together? How do they navigate court politics and their relationship with each other at the same time? Does anyone know about them? Do people suspect but not-quite-know?

Arwen's daughters are not even names in the Appendices, so I'd love to see more about their lives. What do they love to do? What are their relationships with their other sibling(s, if Arwen has more than two daughters) and their parents like? What do they love doing, and what are they good at doing, and do those two things not necessarily overlap? Are they warriors, diplomats, scholars, or none of the above? Or something more angsty about the taboo of their relationship.

For art, especially I'd love it if you focused on the similarities and differences in their appearances. Maybe the two of them sparring, or dancing? (Or anything mirroring each other, really! Or maybe actual mirrors are involved?)

Galadriel/Goldberry

Galadriel and Goldberry are two beings so different from each other and each very powerful in their own way—what would happen if they met? I'd love to see them speaking in riddles and confusing us mere mortals, but understanding each other perfectly well! Something slightly eerie, please, something about magic and the roots of Middle-earth. Sex magic, of whatever sort you like, would be an added bonus!

Do they meet in the First Age, somehow—maybe with Goldberry wandering into Doriath for [Reasons]? Or do they meet after Galadriel has crossed the Ered Luin? Or even later, when Galadriel is in Lórien?

Enchantment, again, but maybe enchantment working both ways? And maybe something about Galadriel and Nenya and the things she learnt from Melian versus Goldberry's more elemental power? Or maybe Goldberry being mistaken for a intruder in Lórien (or the other way around)?

Goldberry/Lady of the Blue Brooch

There are so many lovely fics for this pairing, but I still want more! For those of you who don't know, the Lady of the Blue Brooch was a woman, presumably a noble of Cardolan, and her brooch found its way into the tomb of the last prince of Cardolan. And, of course, Goldberry (and Tom) knew her.

From there, I'd love whatever your take on this would be! Was she fleeing from something when she met Goldberry? Wandered away from a travelling party and got lost? How did she die? In her life, who was she? A princess? A lady? A warrior? Someone else entirely?

And since she's probably a noble from Cardolan, maybe something about the last days of Cardolan, or something about the politics and the wars of Arnor?

I'd love to see Goldberry's meeting with her, maybe by the Withywindle, or did Goldberry wander into her somewhere in Arnor? Or maybe something about the two of them in Goldberry's house? Or something bittersweet or angsty about how she leaves? (And how did her brooch find its way to that barrow?)

Or something creepier, maybe, with her being a barrow-wight, or Goldberry trying to bring her back from death, or Goldberry casting an enchantment over her to make her stay?

Fíriel of Gondor/Malbeth, Malbeth/Original Female Character(s)

I know that Malbeth's gender isn't stated in canon, but I usually prefer female Malbeth (and, as far as I know, Malbeth being a woman is much more likely in linguistic terms, and also because the women of the Dúnedain were more likely to be Seers (does that have anything to do with Melian?)), so that's what I'm going with here.

On the premise that Malbeth has a (female) lover, who was she? Was her lover a noble? Or was she an ordinary Dúnedan? Or was she not a Dúnedan at all—perhaps an Elf (who maybe understood Malbeth more than her fellow mortals, but there's also the divide between mortality and immortality)? If her lover was Firiel, how did they meet?

Whoever Malbeth's lover was, unless she was a fellow Seer ~~which would be wonderful, for 'when shall we three meet again' shenanigans~~, there must have been some sort of conflict or tension between them because of Malbeth's (probably eerie) visions. Or was Malbeth not-quite-believed by anyone except her lover?

Foresight and its mixed blessings! I imagine that Malbeth would have led a dark, if not completely unhappy life, being blessed/cursed as she was with foresight so deep into the future and the knowledge of the downfall of the Dúnedain and the rise of Sauron (and his eventual defeat, but that wouldn't have been much of a comfort against the horror). I found the bits about the mixed blessings and curses of foresight in the Appendices interesting, so more on that, maybe?

Or maybe, court politics and the role of seers in Dúnedain society? Is foresight revered, or feared, or ridiculed, or a mixture of all three? Malbeth's predictions were eerily specific, in a way a lot of the foresight in Tolkien's work isn't; more on that, maybe? Was that because the Ainur blood in Malbeth ran particularly strong/she was very attuned to the Music?

Mithrellas/Nimrodel

Ah, the good old lady/handmaiden trope (and also loyalty?). I'd like to see Mithrellas' grief and longing for her lady, maybe, but also anger at Nimrodel for tossing her aside so easily when Amroth arrived. And maybe marrying Imrazôr is her way of saying 'fuck you' for that? And maybe she realizes that isn't enough? Or is there a gradual descent into madness?

Hurt feelings and anger, power dynamics—all things I want. Whether they find each other again is up to you, but if you're focusing on them finding each other, then a completely happy ending isn't my thing —bittersweet or angsty would be better, since Mithrellas is leaving her children behind. (But maybe Mithrellas wasn't completely happy in Dol Amroth that was not yet Dol Amroth either. and all the messiness please.)

Or I'd love to see them together pre-Amroth, playing in the stream or dancing beneath the trees or kissing on a talan or feeding each other berries. Or maybe the two of them near the end of the Third Age, or the beginning of the Fourth Age—do they stay in Middle-earth, or find their way to Valinor?

Shieldmaiden of Rohan/Shieldmaiden of Roham

I'm using 'shieldmaiden' very loosely, here, and 'Rohan' even more loosely, but. You can interpret LotR as saying that women of Rohan have fought alongside men on several occasions. There's kind of a reference to the people of Gondor seeing women of Rohan being warriors, or at least both men and women being called 'valiant', and the Appendices talk about fair and valiant' women alongside 'lords and warriors' in songs the Rohirrim had about the North and about their people before Eorl (this is where 'Rohan' being a very loose descriptor comes in). Also, HoME mentions that, in the time of Brego, women of Rohan did ride out. Also, the fact that Éowyn uses the word 'shieldmaiden' multiple times, as do other people, implies the existence in itself of women who must have been 'shieldmaiden' for the mere fact that the concept must exist for the word to exist.

So, tell me more about these shieldmaidens of Rohan. Did they only ride out in desperate times, or were there some women who took up being a warrior as a lifetime's pursuit? If they only rode out in desperate times, what were those desperate times like? What horrors necessitated women riding out? Or, if there were some women who were warriors their entire life, what was their lifestyle like? Were they lone warriors, or did they march with an army or a group of others? Did they take orders from the King of the Mark, or were they perhaps under the Queen's purview? Or were they outlaws who nevertheless wandered the borders of the Mark and protected its people?

It sounds like female warriors were most common before Eorl rode out from the North and in the early days of Rohan, and I'd love to know more about these time periods—whatever worldbuilding you choose to do would be very, very interesting to me. And, how exactly does one become one of these warriors? Is there formal training or an apprenticeship, or do you have to learn yourself? I imagine that it must have been a lot more difficult for women than for men—something on that, maybe?

What stories and songs were there about these shieldmaidens lovers? (If you've ever wanted to try your hand at alliterative verse, here's your chance—maybe a bit of an epic about a love story between two of the 'fair and valiant' women of old?)

For art, I love the descriptions of the Rohirrim and Rohan in Two Towers and RotK, and anything based on those would be lovely. Or maybe something incorporating 'where now are the horse and the rider'? I'd love to see the shieldmaidens riding out in full armour, or a shieldmaiden after a battle, bloodied and bruised. Or perhaps one of these warriors training, or in a fight? Or maybe two warriors sharing a tent and huddling up next to each other, maybe trading kisses?

The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth – J. R. R. Tolkien

There aren't enough fics based on the Myths Transformed version of Middle-earth, and if that's something you'd like to explore, I'd love that, especially a more scientifically accurate (and sometimes, to my mind, a more tragic-and-dark-but-beautiful) vision of Middle-earth. (Other versions would also be wonderful, of course! This is just a specific thing I don't see much of.)
I love the fact that Tolkien's canon is a patchwork of different stories and mythologies, both in the Doylist and Watsonian sense, and fic exploring that would be wonderful.
Linked with the points above, I'm interested in lived vs. written stories, and Those Pesky Historians, and how unseen forces affect history.
Nature that comes alive.
The mortals and Elves/free will and destiny debate and the role of the Valar would be a wonderful thing to read about—I'd love exploration of any of the philosophical questions of Tolkien's world, really, but especially this, as detailed in the Athrabeth and writings about the role of the Valar.
All things Darkness and Light, really—I'm very fascinated by how these polar opposites work in Tolkien's world (and you can go back right to the beginning, to the Music, if you like), and how Arda is both grim and uplifting at the same time.
I love the way magic and power operate in Tolkien's world—the work he's done to make it believable is wonderful. Writing a green sun, indeed! Anything you can write about this would be welcome and much-adored.
I especially love the Noldor and Númenor, although every Age of Middle-earth holds my heart.
For interspecies relationships, I'd love to see an emphasis on otherness and trying to understand each other.

Almarian/Erendis

Okay, so Erendis/her mother in law the Queen again has lots of implications for power dynamics and fucked-up family relationships, but also fluffiness if you want to go in that direction. So do whatever you want with this.

Maybe Erendis seduces Almarian to piss off Aldarion? Does Aldarion and/or Almarian find out, and find out why, and are they pissed off? Do they slowly fall for each other or does it remain fucked up?

Or maybe some H/C? Maybe Almarian visits Erendis in Emerië? Or maybe Almarian decides that Aldarion doesn't deserve Erendis, and romances Erendis herself? Or maybe Almarian convinces Erendis to let Ancalimë go to the city? Or Erendis takes comfort in her mother-in-law while Aldarion is gone?

Or, for a smut idea, Erendis is spanked by Almarian for [Reason]. Or the bride of the King's Heir has to remain a chaste until the wedding night/while her husband is gone out of Númenor, and Almarian holds the key to Erendis' chastity device. Or, Almarian decides to tie Erendis up, again for [Reason]. Or, traditionally, Númenorean brides have to submit to their mother-in-laws for 'inspection'.

Andreth/Galadriel

AU where Galadriel takes Aegnor's place, maybe? Or Galadriel visiting Andreth, with or without Finrod. I just want philosophical and political discussions, duty vs. love dilemmas, and maybe an unhappy ending (because I'm evil like that).

I love the philosophical debates of the Athrabeth, so maybe more on that? Maybe Galadriel and Andreth getting into debates with each other? (And maybe the debates turning heated occasionally and then moving to bed?)

Or maybe Galadriel dealing with the fact that Andreth was her dead brother's lover, and the complications of that? (And maybe Andreth also dealing with her grief for Aegnor through Galadriel?) Or maybe angst as Andreth grows older?

Or maybe an AU where Andreth meets Galadriel instead of Aegnor—what would change, what wouldn't?

For art, maybe that scene near Tarn Aeluin, with a star caught in Andreth's hair (only with Galadriel instead of Aegnor)? Or Galadriel and Andreth wandering in the woods together? Or the two of them lying on the grass, staring up at the stars?

Aredhel/Galadriel

Incest kink! Aredhel and Galadriel were the only second-generation Finwions who were female, and I'd love an exploration of that. Did they like each other or despise each other ~~and have hatesex~~? Maybe they hunted together, and those hunting trips turned into more? Or the two of them on the Ice, finding comfort in each other? Or maybe Aredhel was aiming to go to Doriath, not to visit Celegorm? So many possibilities!

Or maybe Aredhel and Galadriel's mutual indifference to each other, and annoyance at being pushed together at family gatherings because they're girls, and of course they have a lot of things in common. This usually Ends Very Badly, possibly, or maybe just Aredhel and Galadriel being snarky at each other and the world in general, with bonus kissing and casual sex.

Or maybe huddling for warmth during the crossing of the Ice? (And just sex, or the two of them falling for each other there). And maybe something about leading their people across the Ice, and the two of them being leaders in general (or leaders and generals, that would very much work too!)?

Arien/Ungoliant

An origin story for Ungoliant, maybe? We know that both Sauron and Morgoth Fell from grace, as it were, and we know how, but what about Ungoliant? What happened? What was her beginning, and what made her Dark? Was it because of her love for Arien, or despite it? Where did she gain her hunger for Light?

Or, if they fall for each other despite being on different sides of the war (or, well, in Ungoliant's case, not having a side at all but aligning with Melkor because he's useful), elemental forces and secret rendezvous and love that doesn't ultimately change anything? Either way, I'd love something tragic. Or an AU where it ends well, that would also be lovely!

Ungoliant and Arien—the Sun and a giant spider, I'd be interested to see how that works visually. Or you could have them take human raiment—that's also something I'd love to see. Or maybe something about spiderwebs? Ungoliant trapping Arien in giant spiderwebs, maybe, and (noncon if you want to go in the noncon-y direction, or as roleplay) eating up all her Light?

Galadriel/Varda

Something mystical and magical and dangerous for these two, maybe? I'm interested in how this'd work—was it a passionate romance during the Years of the Trees, or did it happen after Galadriel came back at the end of the Third Age?

If pre-Darkening, maybe the two of them meeting, and things proceeding from there. Explorations of power dynamics, maybe, because Varda is obviously so much more powerful than Galadriel, and/or mentorship? And post-Darkening, there must have been feelings of betrayal on both sides, so something about that, maybe?

And how do they react on meeting each other again, after Galadriel has atoned and gone through her test? Or maybe Galadriel finding comfort in Varda after the loss of everything she knows, and after the loss of her husband too (well, estrangement, but Celeborn doesn't look to be crossing the Sea any time soon).

Or, what does it feel like for an Elf to be in bed with a Valië? Does Varda use her powers on Galadriel? Or does Varda submit to Galadriel for this one thing?

I'd love art about stars and skies, please! Or maybe Varda and Galadriel on Taniquetil together, or Varda watching over Galadriel from far away?

Ilmarë/Thuringwethil

This ship interests me for the light vs. dark dichotomy. An origin story, perhaps, on the fall of Thuringwethil? Or maybe what happened to Thuringwethil after the War of Wrath? I'd love to see the contrast between the two of them, and maybe something to do with the Ainur and their role in the Music?

And this 'ship is ripe for all the angst and tragedy. Maybe something about Thuringwethil's fall? (And how it came about, and its causes, and maybe late redemption if you want to go in that direction if you're writing fic, or dark/tragedic angst if you don't?) Or maybe if you choose to go with something about Thuringwethil and Ilmarë after the War of Wrath, there must be a lot of betrayal and anger lying in both of them—something about that?

Was Thuringwethil a Maia of Varda or Estë before she fell, perhaps? Or was she one of those seduced by Melkor in the beginning, with the Music, and she and Ilmarë always has a foeyay thing going on? Or was she an embodiment of necessary darkness created to stand against Melkor but corrupted by him? Or was she a Maia of Sauron who went over to Melkor when he did?

I would also very much not mind this going in the fucked-up dubcon or noncon direction, whether that be because one of them is the other's prisoner, or because one of them manipulates the other emotionally (for her own good, of course, or so the manipulator things), or because of any other scenario.

Indis/Nerdanel

Indis and Nerdanel in the house of Indis after Fëanor's Exile, or later, after the Darkening and the Doom, helping each other to cope, please? I just want all the angst and Doom.

I'd love to see Indis and Nerdanel, something passionate and intense—kissing, maybe, or even just talking to each other. Or I'd love to see Indis as the Queen of the Noldor (whether as Finwë's wife or in her own right in an AU)—loyalty kink, anyone? Or maybe something less smutty, dealing with the politics of the situation, maybe.

I am fascinated by the Noldor who remained in Aman after Fëanor and Fingolfin left. How did they attempt to bridge ties with the other Elves (especially the Teleri)? What were Indis' and Nerdanel's reactions to the Kinslaying? What were other people's reactions to the fact that their relations (and especially children) are Kinslayers? Or, what sort of role did they play in the reorganization of Tirion and in all the work that must have been necessary post-Darkening?

Lalaith/Niënor Níniel

Sistercest! This would, out of necessity, have to be an AU where Lalaith doesn't die. Maybe Lalaith and Niënor sustaining each other through difficult times? Maybe instead of Túrin, Lalaith is the one who's cursed? Codependent fucked-up siblings, please! And for art (and fic), something focusing on how they're the antithesis of each other?

What would happen if Túrin died, not Lalaith? I'd imagine a lot of the events would go the same, but would Húrin not having a male heir affect canon events much? Would Lalaith stay with her mother and sister, or would she be smuggled out like Túrin was? And would Doriath and the outlaws happen just the same, and would Lalaith still be the Blacksword, or would something different happen? Would Lalaith's and Niënor's meeting go the same? And what effect would Niënor not being pregnant have on the final events? Would they go the same, or differently? (And would she even want to be called Lalaith after her brother's death?)

Or an AU where Lalaith doesn't die and Túrin also lives—again, would Lalaith go to Doriath or stay with Morwen? Would Niënor and her become codependent because of the situation they're in if she stayed, or would they fight all the time? If Lalaith goes to Doriath with her brother, would Niënor stumble upon Lalaith instead of Túrin?

Lindissë/Silmariën

I'd adore a bittersweet romance with Lindissë—Silmarien marries Elatan eventually, and I'd like that to be a mutually beneficial if not completely agreeable marriage, so Silmarien and Lindissë find their way through that? Awkward threesomes, if Elatan is fine with that? An open relationship based on the same premise? Or are Lindissë and Silmariën parted? (And maybe, for any of these—or any other idea you have—Silmarien starts a long campaign to allow people of the same gender to marry each other, which culminates in Tar-Telperien's marriage to her wife many generations later?)

We know nothing about Lindissë and Silmariën beyond their names and parentage and that Silmariën was Elendil's foremother, so I'd love to know more about the two of them. What made them fall for each other? What were their pet causes—or were they not interested in politics at all? What were their passions? What sort of relationships did they have with the rest of their family? Did Silmariën's children ever figure out that there had been something between Lindissë and Silmariën, once upon a time?

And Númenorean politics! I'm always interested in Númenorean politics, and I'd love to see what sort of influence the two of them (especially Silmariën) have, and the political climate in Númenor at that time. (Or maybe an AU where Silmariën is the first Ruling Queen?)

Tar-Míriel/Uinen

There's an obvious connection between the Line of Elros and the Sea, and as the Lady of the Waves, Uinen is part of that connection too. Anything, fic or art, angsty or fluffy, playing with that would be lovely.

Do the Faithful have any rituals to worship Uinen? Are they elaborate and long (and perhaps sexual)? Does Míriel encounter Uinen through one of the rituals? (Is she literally sacrificed to the sea, in a temporary non-fatal sacrifice?) Or maybe Uinen discovers the existence of these rituals after she and Míriel meet—perhaps Míriel introduces her to them?

Or maybe Míriel takes comfort in Uinen after she's taken as Ar-Pharazôn's wife. Perhaps she sneaks down to the sea, or perhaps Uinen comes to her somehow?

Or maybe Míriel is rescued by Uinen from the Downfall! Does Uinen carry Míriel away into her underwater bower? Does Míriel gain immortality, or does she have to die eventually still? Or maybe it's more creepy, with Uinen keeping Míriel captive against her will or using her powers to make her fall for her?

Or if you want to go in the smutty direction, underwater sex! And whatever powers Maiar have being used by Uinen for sex! Or creepysex with Uinen devouring Míriel, or drawing her under a spell to make her want to have sex with her, or any other type of creepyness.
