Everywoman 2016 Letter

[the_wavesinger]

Hi, dearest Every Woman creator! I'm really glad we've been matched, and I hope you have fun creating. First of all, I'm really sorry this letter is so late, and thank you for your patience!  I'm also sorry if the formatting is difficult to parse; if this is the case, there's a prettier-looking version on Google Drive! In fact, I strongly recommend the Drive version, as this letter is ridiculously long and difficult to navigate in the DW format, and Google Drive makes for easy navigating and copying-and-pasting.

If you want to know more about me , I’m The Wavesinger (Silmarillion Writers’ Guild)

The_Wavesinger, and the-wavesinger  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. If you want more on my fic preferences (unlikely, after this loooong 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 may help. And, of course, if something isn't clear, ask and I'll clarify!

I've categorized my prompts by character, and under that, for most (but by no means all) characters, I've added four sections: gen things I like, shippy things I like, and more specific prompts for fic and art. These divisions are more markers to prevent absolute chaos and disorganization than anything else; don't take them too seriously. The 'ships' section especially indicates ships I love as the focus of fic/art, but I'm very open to most background pairings, both canon and non-canon (especially in fic)—as long as there are no DNWs, I don't mind any kind of background ship. And, in instances where all or some parts of a ship have been requested, I've included specific prompts under one person, so you might have to jump around a bit. I apologize for that; the alternative was an extremely tedious, repetitive letter, and I'm sure you don't want that! Also, please know that the fact that some sections are much longer than other doesn't mean that I prefer that character!

 

First, a list of DNWs.

• Body horror/gore/guro (and violence more than canon level).

• Anything more than mild horror, for fic, and horror at all, for art.

• Bestiality, necrophilia (this doesn’t include Ungoliant, by the way).

• Parent/child or full sibling/full sibling incest, unless specified..

• Underage character/legal character. Either both participants are underaged, or both are legal, in terms of the society they’re living in. And please no large age gaps. Even if it's just vague romantic attraction, twenty-five-year-olds express desire for fourteen-year-olds is a big DNW (although the fourteen-year-old having a hero-worship crush on the twenty-five-year-old might be OK? I guess?).

• Graphic descriptions of nausea/vomiting for fic, and for art, no nausea/vomiting at all, please.

• (Fic) Reader inserts.

• (Fic) PWP.

• (Fic) A/B/O.

• (Fic)Cis men becoming pregnant

• (Art) Sex. (Nekkid people are fine. Nekkid people having sex is not. Not even nekkid person with tentacles.)

• (Art) Modern AUs (see soft limits for fic)

• Suicide/suicidal thoughts as the focus of the fic (passing mentions are fine; subplots are fine; the entire fic being about suicide isn't). Art featuring suicide is fine.

• Mixing and matching elements of fandoms that aren’t related, and yes, this includes magical/daemon/insert trope here AUs. I do adore crossovers and fusions; I just don't want, for example, daemons in Middle-earth or Harry Potter-style magic in a galaxy far, far away.

My soft limits are as follows.

• (Fic) Explicit sex—I’d prefer not to see this, but if your plot needs sex, no insert-tab-A-into-slot-B or graphic anatomical descriptions, please. Sensuality would be better.

• (Fic) Fics which are all fluff are very difficult for me to stomach—a limit to the cuteness would be good.

• Love at first sight is not my favourite thing. It's mostly to do with the fluff limit, so if you add complications, then I'm more than fine with it!

• (Fic) AUs with modern settings are no-no’s unless there’s a reasonable canon explanation (eg-: a Tolkien couple cursed to be reborn again and again into mortal forms) and that only in Tolkien. Even then, please no high school or coffee shop AUs.

• If you want to write/draw crossovers/fusions then please do stick to fandoms I've either written for in the past or have included in this letter, or previous letters. (If in doubt, ask! I'm just saying this because there are some fandoms I'd rather not see, but those are relatively few, but I'd adore, for example, Star Wars AUs in almost any fandom).

• (Fic) On soulmate AUs: I'm picky about this; I do love them when it's messy and complicated, but love at first sight is, again, not my thing, sorry. Also, I love timers, and soulmarks, red strings etc. are also fine, but please no variations of seeing color.

• I’m fine with non-explicit rape/non-con, but please nothing explicit. This also applies to conditioning (in the context of abusive relationships/torture/etc.) and abuse.

• Also, although I don’t mind infidelity, please don’t let anyone walk in on someone with their other half(s) unless it's absolutely necessary to the plot.

• (Fic) 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 art and darkfic, but not as the main focus of the fic, please, and not as things which can be kissed better.)

• (Fic) Same for torture as the main focus of a fic, although I don't mind PTSD with flashbacks to torture. (Again, torture in art is fine, as long as the gore isn't very graphic.)

• (Fic) Miscommunication (on the personal level; not culture clashes!) which is the only reason for angst in a fic isn't exactly my cup of tea; again, people might be able to spin it well, so it's not a DNW, but do tread with care.

What I do like, in general:

• Angst. Drama. Politics. Tragedy.

• Philosophical ponderings!

• F/F always has my love. You can never go wrong with this.

• I love canon divergence AUs, and other ‘what-if’ scenarios.

• All the hard questions with no answers, characters trapped in unsolvable dilemmas, loss and grief and moving on.

• Obscure bits of canon, worldbuilding (and the two together).

• I love the whole mythological aspect of both Tolkien and Star Wars, and whatever you may choose to do with that.

• Cultural differences and clashes that occur due to that.

• I adore OFCs and textual ghosts, for many, many reasons. Also femslash. Did I mention femslash?

• I won't repeat this in the 'ships' section unless I have specific likes for the OFC, but I'dd adore any female character/OFC.
  

•  

  Complicated women who don't always do the right thing and do bad things more often than not, who fail because of their faults and other people's, who have flaws they don't 'get over' but are part of who they are, who give up over and over again, who don't like the person they are but can't be bothered to do anything about it, who have bad days and are grouchy and petty and nasty and irrational. Basically, women who aren't perfect cardboard cut-outs, but human beings.

   

• Genderbending! I always love Rule 63'd characters.

• Stories featuring bi, pan, aro, and/or ace characters are lovely! (Aro but not ace characters I don't see at all, so extra love for that.)

• Open relationships! Threesomes! Moresomes! (Non-explicit) orgies!

• Transgender characters would be amazing, as would non-binary characters and just genderfuckery in general.

  In fic:

• 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.)

• I like relationships that are fated to end in tragedy, but I also like a pinch of humor with my angst.

• Plotty fics are always welcome!

• 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 love characters with flaws and unpleasant qualities! Awesome ladies can be awesome and flawed :).

• Iddy whump fic! (In general, bittersweet fics with lots of hurt (and not necessary comfort) and doom and gloom and/or politics and drama and plot hit my id very hard)

• I don’t mind any type of POV (including second person!). In fact, POV switches and outside POVs on relationships would be lovely.

• Tropes! I especially adore tropey F/F. Tropes I love include time travel and general messing with time (although no age regression, or AUs in which one character is suddenly older than a previously older-than-them character [ageswap?]), forced apart by circumstances/evil overlords/insert reason here, and general inevitability.

  In art:

• I adore all kinds of jewellery—the more elaborate the better!

• And elaborate hairdos! And elaborate costumes!

• I do, however, also enjoy seeing characters in their workaday attire, doing everyday things.

• For relationships, I prefer seeing characters casually intimate with each other over very deep kissing, fondling etc.

• Court settings with pomp and circumstance or everyday life are both things I enjoy seeing.

• Characters of color! (Racebending is awesome, too.) I'd especially love South Asian characters.

 

Some of fandom-specific (and mostly fic-specific, although they could also apply to art) details for 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.

• 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.

• Regarding LaCE: I tend to think of it as a moral code imposed by the Valar (not out of malice, but because they could control their own bodies, appearance, and sexuality, and didn't understand why Elves couldn't do the same). Any takes on this?

• Linked with the points above, I'm interested in lived vs. written stories, and Those Pesky Historians, and how unseen forces affect history.

• 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 (part of Morgoth's Ring, I believe).

• 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 Ñoldor and Númenor, although every Age of Middle-earth holds my heart.

And Star Wars:

• I'm more than fine with the EU (there's a reason I signed up for Legends!). I confess I'm not very familiar with it, but I love obscure EU details and characters nevertheless—if there's anything I don't know, I'll look it up on Wookiepedia. So go wild! (I know I've propounded upon my dislike of Rebels, but don't take it to heart—I dislike the show itself, but I'll love your interpretation as long as my requested character plays the main role, and Kanan stays out of sight, and preferably far, far away.)

• 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. Being brought up in a Theravada Buddhist household (although I'm currently agnostic), 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 my culture 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. 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, 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. Oh yes, that would be wonderful!

• Or just ignoring the attachments things is fine as well!

 

 

 

A:TLA

Azula

Ships I 'ship: Ty Lee/Azula This is the dark!ship of my heart. And by dark, I mean dark. Dub-con, powerplay, mindfucks—throw them all at me, and I'd love it! Loyalty, of course, and tragedy, and anger and passion and also auras, and I just want dark, dark fic and art.

Gen things: Azula and Ursa, Azula and Ozai, Azula and Zuko, Azula's fucked-up childhood. Especially: touch me and you'll burn.

Fic: I'd love to see Azula in all her messed-up glory, hating and loving her parents and brother, cast adrift without Zuko's luck (and that's the ultimate irony) in finding someone who'd teach her right and wrong.

Art: Fire! Fire-themed art is everything, especially fire-themed art of Azula and her family, slowly burning up maybe.

 

Katara

Ships I 'ship: lowkey Katara/Aang, but I mostly love Katara gen

Gen things: Katara and Zuko, Katara and Toph, Katara and Suki, Katara and Sokka, Katara and all the Gaang, Katara with Kanna, Katara and Kya, Katara as the last Southern waterbender, Katara as a teacher, a friend, a mother.

Fic: The A:TLA world is very explicitly misogynist, especially the Northern Water Tribe, but LoK seems to be a much more equal world; what role does Katara and the rest of the Gaang play in bringing that about? Or maybe something to do with Katara finding her place as a waterbender. Or post-canon, what does Katara do? Or Katara and Zuko as friends—I don't ship them, but I do find their friendship intriguing, as they're so similar and yet so different. How would they work?

Art: Waterbending! I'd love to see action poses, Katara and water and how they fit. Or maybe Katara spending time with a grown-up Gaang? Or Katara as a warrior. Or maybe Katara, post-canon and grown up, doing what she's always wanted to do—helping people. Or maybe some Katara and Toph bonding time, because their friendship is so, so lovely.

 

Kanna

Ships I 'ship: Kanna/Yugoda, Kanna/Yugoda/Pakku

Gen things: Kanna in the Nothern Water Tribe, Kanna sailing for freedom, the lost years in the Southern Water Tribe, Kanna and Kya, Kanna and Katara

Fic: Pakku wasn't the only one who missed Kanna, and who loved her; Yugoda lover her too. The three of them finding each other again, and Kanna surprised but pleased at how much Pakku's changed, and falling in love all over again. Or a story about Kanna's girlhood and the aftermath of her eventual escape would be lovely—bittersweet and gentle, with lots of angst, ship, or gen.

Art: I'd love to see a young Kanna rowing away from the Nothern Water Tribe, proud and defiant, never to return. Or Kanna finding her old lover(s) again. Or Kanna and her family, the family she built for herself, Kya and Hakoda and Katara and whatever unnamed husband or wife.

 

Kyoshi, Yangchen

Ships I 'ship: F/F? Especially OFCs!

Gen things: Avatars displaying Avatar powers!

Fic: How do Avatars adapt to being thrust into a world of alien cultures and people, and regarded as a god among them? How do they react to this, by clinging tighter to their culture and heritage or letting it go altogether? Basically, I'd love culture clashes and cultural exploration, and a journey to find balance!

Art: If you could translate culture clashes into art, that'd be wonderful! Other than that, maybe F/F with an OC, or either Kyoshi or Yangchen displaying their Avatar powers, or Kyoshi and Yangchen bonding in the afterlife?

 

Suki

Ships I 'ship: Suki/Ty Lee, Suki/Sokka, Suki/Ty Lee/Sokka, Katara/Suki

Gen things: Suki and Katara, Suki and the Gaang, Suki as a leader of the Kyoshi Warriors

Fic: Sisters-in-arms fic! Suki and her warriors (or Suki and Katara) fighting together, living together, loving together, finding their places by each other's side. Kick-ass women kicking ass, action, adventure! And all the bittersweet fluffiness is also lovely.

Art: I'd love to see Suki fighting, leading the Kyoshi Warriors, standing up to Azula, brave and defiant. I adore the Kyoshi Warriors' regalia, so could I see her in that, pretty please?

 

Ty Lee

Ships I 'ship: Suki/Ty Lee, Azula/Ty Lee, Suki/Ty Lee/Sokka

Gen things: Ty Lee and her family, Ty Lee and Azula and/or Mai

Fic: I'd love a Ty Lee joins the Kyoshi Warriors fic. Past Azula/Ty Lee would be an added bonus, of course, and I'd love a gentle fic about grief and loss, whether gen, Ty Lee/Suki, or Ty Lee/Suki/Sokka. Hurt/comfort would be lovely, as would a bittersweet tone, and mutual support and bonding.

Art: Bubbly, cheerful Ty Lee, maybe doing some sort of acrobatic stunt, or during her years at the circus, or with her family.

 

Yugoda

Ships I 'ship: Kanna/Yugoda, Kanna/Yugoda/Pakku

Gen things: Yugoda as a healer, Yugoda and her friends, Yugoda and Katara, Yugoda as a member of the Water Tribe

Fic: Anything Yugoda, really, and maybe a past or future relationship with Kanna? Or maybe a day-in-the-life fic, seeing Yugoda's role as a Healer in the Southern Water Tribe.

Art: I'd love to see Katara learning advanced healing techniques from Yugoda post-Sozin's Comet, or Yugoda healing. Or maybe Yugoda and a group of friends, or a younger Yugoda playing in the snow?

 

 

 

Narnia

Group: Lucy Pevensie & Aravis Tarkheena, Group: Susan Pevensie & Aravis Tarkheena, Group: Susan Pevensie & Original Earth Character, Group: Susan Pevensie & Original Narnian Character

Narnia is my queen-femslash fandom, and for fics set in Narnia, I'd love to see I'd love political drama and romance, warrior-queens and queens ruling by diplomacy. Illicit, not-so-illicit, queen consorts—all the types of romance would be lovely. I just really, really want wordplay, power dynamics, and queens. And for Susan on Earth, I'd love to see Susan post-Lost Battle, grieving for her family, and maybe finding comfort in her lover (or friends if you're going the gen way)? And making a place for herself in this world.

For art, I don't really have any concrete ideas, but for Narnia, pomp and splendour and pageantry would be appreciated—dazzle me, please, with the splendour of the Narnian court. On Earth, I'd love to see Susan in her post-Lost Battle life, maybe at work, maybe in the park, maybe sharing a moment with her lover.

And if you're here for the gen, I'd be very happy with gen versions of these, too.

 

 

 

Star Wars

Legends

Bant Eerin

Ships I 'ship: None.

Gen things: Bant and Tahl, Bant and Obi-Wan (and Garen and Reeft).

Fic: I'd love to see Bant and her friends having a good time together in the JA timeline. Or maybe catching up with each other after their Knightings (and some Obi-angst if you're so inclined!)? Or Bant and Tahl, and Bant grieving for her Master's death, of course, but also their relationship and them spending time with each other. And what did Bant do during the Clone Wars? I want to know! Really, I just love Bant and her gentle heart, and I want to read anything and everything about her.

Art: Mon Calamarians are weirdly cute in all the artistic depictions I've seen of them! I'd love to see any Bant art, especially Bant with her friends—and grown-up Bant isn't anything I've seen at all, so more of that, maybe? A lot more of that? Because that'd be wonderful!

 

Siri Tachi

Ships I 'ship: Uh...Padmé/Siri?

Gen things: Siri and Adi, Siri and Ferus, Siri and Obi-Wan, Siri and her friends.

Fic: I'd love to see an AU where Siri lives. Or an AU where she and Padmé fall in love instead of Anakin and Padmé—what would that change? What would that not change? And Siri and Obi-Wan as adults or teenagers, in their prickly, antagonistic, friendship, and being protective of each other. And Siri with her other friends. I also have a soft spot for Adi, and I'd love to see her and Siri together, talking, training, on a mission—anything is fine!

Art: Fierce!Siri, her eyes glowing, lightsaber out, in a fighting stance! Action-packed art would be lovely. Or, Siri in a rare gentle, unguarded moment, maybe with friends, maybe with Adi, maybe alone.

 

Tahl

Ships I 'ship: None!

Gen things: Tahl and Qui-Gon (and their other friends), Tahl and Bant, Tahl and Obi-Wan

Fic: If Tahl lived, what would change? Everything? Nothing? I'd love to see. And I'd love to see Tahl and Obi-Wan interacting—any sort of interactions. Or Tahl, a night out with her friends. And Tahl and Bant, Tahl instructing Bant in some way, maybe? Either way, I love Tahl the capable Jedi Master and technology genius, and I want moarrr.

Art: Give me beautiful honey-skinned Jedi Masters or give me death! I adore visual deciptions of Legends characters, and Tahl is no exception. I'd love her with curly hair and an action pose, fighting.

 

 

 

Original Trilogy

Beru Whitesun

Ships I 'ship: Beru/Owen

Gen things: Beru with her family and friends, Beru growing up, Beru and Luke, Beru in the desert.

Fic: I'd love a story about Beru's childhood and teenage years. Maybe Beru comes from Mos Eisley or Mos Espa, and her life as a merchant's daughter. Or your own version of her backstory—or the EU one, if it exists. Or maybe her blossoming romance with Owen? Or some fluffy little Luke and Beru with suitably dark undertones. Or Beru in her last moments. Or Beru with friends (or a girlfriend!), and friendly banter and day-to-day life in Tatooine.

Art: I'd love to see anything about Beru, really, since there's a huge dearth of Beru art, but especially Beru with baby Luke, because adorableness, or Beru reading to Luke. Or Beru framed in the binary sunset (binary sunset porn is my favourite thing) or ghost!Beru standing amidst flames. Or both. Both is good. I'd also love to see what you think younger Beru would have looked like, maybe as a teenager or little girl, maybe with friends or family.

 

Group: Leia Organa and Mon Mothma

(Which is basically a copy-paste of what I love about Leia and Mon Mothma from below)

I'd love Leia/Mon Mothma fic in any form. Specific prompts include mentorship (you can spin this on the gen angle if you want, too), 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.

 

Group: Leia Organa and Toryn Farr

For both fic and art, I'd love to see them interacting in some form, whether it's friendship or femslash or simply a junior officer and a commander. I'd especially love to see how the Rebellion works, so, for fic, a day-in-the-life would be great. For art, maybe them discussing some plans together, or Leia giving a command?

 

Leia Organa
Ships I 'ship: Han/Luke/Leia, Leia/Mon Mothma

Gen things: Leia with Rey, Leia as a Senator, a Princess, a soldier, a General, Leia in Alderaan with her parents and friends (and Sabé? Ahsoka? Rex? Cody?), Leia being part of the New Republic, Leia with Ben Organa, Leia's (complicated) relationship with Anakin, Leia and Padmé (especially Padmé lives AUs) and/or the Naberries, Leia on Naboo pre-ANH, Leia training to be—and becoming—a Jedi, Leia with Luke and Han.
Fic: I love that Leia's a protagonist in her own light (deutagonist, really) in SW, not just the love interest, and I love how multi-faceted she is. Anything featuring Leia, obviously, especially Leia as a leader and warrior! I'd love to see Leia dealing with the aftermath of Ben's choice, or maybe Leia and Rey, or shippy OT3 fic or Leia as part of the Rebellion, or post-RotJ, rebuilding what was lost. I'd love to see SW politics and how Leia handles the overlap of political and personal.

Art: Space braids! Hairstyles are a special turn-on for Leia, especially if they're practical as well as pretty, as most of her styles are. Other than that, art with Leia and her family (whatever your definition of this is), and Leia with a lightsaber, and just Leia being awesome. I'd especially love seeing what you think Alderaan would have looked like!

 

Mon Mothma

Ships I 'ship: Leia/Mon Mothma, Padmé/Mon Mothma

Gen things: Mon Mothma and the Delegation of Two Thousand, Mon Mothma and the Rebels, Mon Mothma with her family (EU children and partner, or parents if you don't like that bit of the EU), Obi-Wan and Mon Mothma. [Please note my dislike of the Rebels TV show.]

Fic: I'd love Leia/Mon Mothma fic in any form. Specific prompts include mentorship (you can spin this on the gen angle if you want, too), politican-ly peers and in a casual relationship (before Leia gets together with Han, though—and either of these could also fit Padmé?), 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... Or if you want RotS-era things, Mon Mothma planning the Rebellion, and lots of politics! Or an origin story, because I haven't seen any. Or a Padmé lives AU? Because I adore those, both gen and shippy, and I'd love to see Mon Mothma shelter Padmé (and maybe Sabé and Obi-Wan, who come along for the ride—orgies, anyone?) for a little while, before their little ragtag band truly goes on the run. And in a different but not-unrelated prompt, I have a strange fascination with seeing Mon Mothma and Obi-Wan interact—any premise you can think up, any time period.

Art: Genevieve O'Reilly has an almost creepy resemblance to Caroline Blakiston in the new Rogue One trailer, so her face is fine as reference for RotS Mon Mothma, but I do prefer Caroline Blakiston's slightly different face to Genevieve O'Reilly's version for the OT. Either way, her costume is gorgeous, and she even looks inspiring. Maybe her giving a speech, perhaps to the Senate? Or the Rebellion or the New Republic? Or, I adore her quotes about war from the EU (can't recall the specific novels, sorry, but one of my favourites has got to be when she does what amounts to forcing Luke to take his head out of his ass), so something based on that? Or the Delegation of Two Thousand and the Cantham House meetings. I just adore Mon Mothma as a leader and politician. Or Leia and Mon Mothma—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. Also Mon Mothma and Padmé looking out at Coruscant, shippy or gen-like, whichever way you swing. And as above, Mon Mothma and Obi-Wan interaction, either with some backstory or delightfully context-free—I don't mind either way! Or if you want to do something with the Rogue One trailer, Mon Mothma and Jyn?

 

Toryn Farr

Ships I 'ship: Femslash?

Gen things: Toryn Farr's beginnings, her joining the Rebellion, Toryn Farr as a Rebel officer, Toryn Farr with her fellow rebels.

Fic: What's the reason Toryn joined the Rebellion? What's her home planet and family like? I'd love to see your version of this, but I'd also love the EU version, if it exists. And what's it like being a female officer in a very obviously male-dominated environment (and are there any reasons other than misogyny for the Rebellion we see being male-dominated)? I'd love to see more of Toryn's life in the Rebellion, both on missions and on the Rebel base, and maybe with her girlfriend or wife, also part of the Rebellion. And what does she do post-RotJ? Does she join the government or military of the New Republic? Does she take on a civilian post? The questions are endless!

Art: A military pose, maybe, or Toryn on a mission for the Rebel Alliance, or downtime with a fellow (female) Rebel officer and romantic partner? Or working, or—anything, really, there's so little art for her that anything at all would cause me to squeal with joy!

 

 

 

Prequel Trilogy

Adi Gallia, Shaak Ti, Depa Billaba, Stass Allie
Ships I 'ship: Nothing specific, but maybe femslash anything?
Gen things: Councillors and Jedi in action. High Council meetings. I'd love to see them either individually or together (although Stass Allie, of course, is a Councillor later than the other three).
Fic: I'd love to see a Council meeting in progression. There's plenty of room for humor there, and, of course, angst and drama. I'd like to see what being a Jedi entails, especially a Jedi Councillor, one of the leaders of the Order.
Art: I don't have any concrete ideas for these four, but maybe an action pose, or, again, a High Council meeting?

 

Apailana, Jamillia
Ships I 'ship: None, really.
Gen things: Apailana and Jamillia as rulers of Naboo, Padmé advising her successors, Apailana and Jamillia looking up to and admiring Padmé.
Fic: I'd like to see Apailana and Jamillia as queens, as rulers of Naboo. I don't really think child-monarchs are a good idea (see: Padmé, who was a good ruler, but politics were not her strong suit as a young girl) but maybe you can convince me. Or maybe you agree with me? Or Apailana and Jamillia, and the legend of Padmé, and how expectation is different from reality.

Art: Costume and hair porn! I adore the costumes of the rulers of Naboo, and how elaborate they are, because I've a mind to setting a challenge ;). On the plus side—your imagination can go wild, as the royal coffers are very deep and price is not an issue.

 

Breha Organa

Ships I 'ship: lowkey Breha/Bail, maybe something F/F?

Gen things: Breha as a Queen, Breha and Leia

Fic: I'd love to see Breha in her role as Queen of Alderaan and/or Breha sheltering, supporting, and co-ordinating the fledgling Rebellion, because I adore politics fics. Or a day-in-the-life, on Alderaan, maybe, with politics but also Leia and Breha and a comm call to Bail?

Art: Dress porn, fancy hairdos (it's not only Padmé Leia takes after in that respect?) and gorgeous, regal queens for me, please. For Breha/Bail, I'd love loyalty kink, maybe with Bail kneeling in front of Breha and kissing her hand or pledging his sword or some such archaic marriage ritual?

 

Padmé Amidala
Ships I 'ship: Padmé/Sabé (or any of the other handmaidens), Padmé/Mon Mothma, Padmé/Siri Tachi
Gen things: Queen Amidala, Senator Amidala, Padmé and Mon Mothma and/or Bail Organa and/or Breha Organa, Padmé and Obi-Wan and/or Ahsoka, Padmé with her handmaidens, Padmé and her family. All the Padmé lives AUs, and anything with Padmé being awesome, because my biggest problem with the PT (other than the dialogue) is the writers not letting Padmé live up to her full potential.
Fic: A Padmé lives AU where Padmé becomes a Rebel leader, please! She can die when Leia and Luke are young, or watch from the sidelines during the OT, if you want to keep canon as-is, but canon divergence would also be lovely, as would Padmé/Sabé. If you're writing canon 'verse, I definitely don't mind glossing over her romance with Anakin to focus on other aspects of her life—her family, her friendships, her work. And Padmé with Ahsoka and Obi-Wan, maybe a night out, and Jedi and Senate politics being discussed, and friends doing friend things.
Art: Two of my favourite things collide: space hairstyles and costume porn. Also, there is a shortage of Padmé/Sabé art, and art where Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Padmé are awesome, chill friends. Yes? Yes. Fluffy, majestic, angsty...as long as Padmé's in it, I guarantee I'll love anything you draw.

 

Shmi Skywalker

Ships I 'ship: Shmi/The Force. And, uh, femslash?

Gen things: Shmi with Anakin, Shmi after Anakin was freed, Shmi before Anakin, Shmi as a young girl.

Fic: I'd love an origin story for Shmi, or something about her and her family—how did she gain her strong set of values? Or maybe the relationships, both platonic and romantic, she forms with other slaves. I'd love to see Tatooine culture and legends, and borderline Force-sensitive Shmi would be a delight!

Art: Shmi caring for Anakin would be a treat to see—maybe putting him to bed, or watching him play with friends. Or Shmi and a (female) partner, in a quiet moment together. I'd love to see Shmi alone in the desert, and I'd love to see how you visualize Anakin's conception (this is where Shmi/The Force comes in!).

 

Zam Wesell

Ships I ship: F/F

Gen things: Uh, bounty hunter things? Zam in a cantina, or in a shootout, or performing another task for a client.

Fic: She's one of the characters I'm asking for whom I know very little about and want to hear more! You have a totally blank slate, and anything goes, but for ideas, maybe a day in the life of a bounty hunter?

Art: I have a strange fascination with Zam's face mid trasformation. Or maybe an action scene? Or a running (and extremely charged ;)) rivalry with another (female) bounty hunter?

 

 

 

The Clone Wars

Ahsoka Tano
Ships I 'ship: Again, nothing specific, but femslash is always welcome!
Gen things: Ahsoka and Barriss, Ahsoka and Anakin, Ahsoka with Obi-Wan, Ahsoka with the clone troopers, Ahsoka and Padmé, Ahoska post-RotS facing down Vader (whether in reality or in her dreams, I just want her mourning her master), Ahsoka the Rebel. (The last two not as in Rebels, because I—dislike that series)
Fic: I'd love to see Ahsoka on any sort of mission. Ahsoka with her friends in the Temple is something we see very little of in fic—I want more! I'd also adore Ahsoka as a Rebel, setting up the network, recruiting for the Alliance, maybe dropping in on little Leia (and not knowing she's Anakin's daughter, for the extra angst factor). And if you want to go the Padmé lives direction, I'd love Padmé, Sabé, and Ahsoka, forming the Rebel Alliance together. (OT3, anyone? Or OT4, if Mon Mothma wants to join in?) Or an AU where Ahsoka is Obi-Wan's padawan instead of Anakin's (and I'd love it if you managed to include 'You never would have made it as Obi-Wan's Padawan', suitably modified for circumstances, of course—maybe Anakin's just a little jealous, because we all know how possesive he is?), and what would change, and what wouldn't (basically an excuse for Obi-Wan and Ahsoka to interact, because yessss. Also, even if you don't go with that AU, Obi-Wan working behind the scenes to exonerate Ahsoka in Season Five, anyone? Or an AU where Anakin doesn't find Ventress in time and Obi-Wan decides to take action?)

Art: I crave baby Ahsoka art, but older Ahsoka and action wouldn't go amiss either. Or, if you really want to hit me where it hurts, angst! Anything after Anakin's Fall, maybe featuring Obi-Wan, maybe Ahoska alone. (Ahsoka alone. Hah.) Or...this is very specific, but that last scene in TCW where Ahsoka's leaving, framed by the pillar-things in the Temple? A mirror of that, her re-entering the Temple and seeing the destruction Anakin wrought?

 

 

 

The Force Awakens

Maz Kanata

Ships I 'ship: Yoda/Maz, Maz/Chewbacca, or, if you want to go wild, Maz/Yoda/Chewbacca (crack ships. All of them are crack ships. Although I'd be thrilled with a serious take on Maz/Yoda(/Yaddle?))

Gen things: Maz during the Old Republic, Maz and Chewbacca, Maz and Han, Maz and Rey, Maz with her family

Fic prompts: I'd love to see an origin story—I'm very curious about Maz's beginnings, and what she's seen through the long ages. Or how Maz, Han, and Chewie meet, (in a suitably action-packed, thrilling, and morally dubious way, of course). Or how Maz came to be in possession of Luke's (Anakin's, really) lightsaber, with how it was lost in ESB). Or Maz and Obi-Wan, because I love sticking him where he doesn't belong, and I'd enjoy seeing what sort of situation you could concoct so that they'd meet.

Art: For Maz, I don't really have specific art prompts—I'd be delighted to see her and Rey, but that's the extent of my thoughts. Mostly because there's not much art focusing on her, and I'd love to see more. Surprise me!

 

Phasma

Ships I 'ship: Rey/Phasma

Gen things: Phasma as a commander, Phasma's origin story, Phasma as a young Stormtrooper rising through the ranks, how Phasma gained her name.

Fic: I'd love to any version of Phasma you write—a fanatic who believes firmly in the ideals of the First Order, a commander who loves her job, a soldier doing her job (and doing it well). I'd adore redemption stories, but an easy redemption arc is not my thing—I'd love to see her conflicted, trapped in a dilemma, maybe confused as to why FN-2187 would do what he does, and it spinballs from there. Or, alternately, a day-in-the life thing (but please no Hux, period). Or maybe an origin story? Or dark Rey/Phasma? Dark femslash with fucked-up power dynamics is always the greatest, and I'd love to see a Stockholm Syndrome-type prisoner/jailer fic.

Art: I love Phasma's armour—so shiny! For some reason, the helmet and regular clothing worn together is a major kink for me. Also loyalty kink—I'd love to see (a) female Stormtrooper(s) kneeling to Phasma, or Phasma kneeling to Rey (or vice versa). Rey being held prisoner and Phasma looming over her is also a Thing for me (or, again, vice versa; and if so, Phasma stripped of her armour (and it being scattered around her?) would also be great). And a hand on the prisoner's jaw, turning her face to the jailer.

 

Rey

Ships I 'ship: Rey/Phasma, Rey/Jessika, Rey/Female Resistance Pilot, Rey/OFC On Jakku
Gen things: Rey learning to be a Jedi, Rey and Leia, Rey bonding with Finn and Poe (but especially Finn), Rey on Jakku, Rey as either a Skywalker or a Kenobi, Rey and Obi-Wan (whether as a Kenobi or otherwise, maybe just him watching over her, and especially 'these are your first steps').

Fic: Rey training with Luke, and maybe her heritage? Or I'd adore femslash, especially bittersweet femslash, partings and letting go. (Also, if you're doing Rey as a Kenobi, trans man Obi-Wan/the Force and immaculate conception? Yes?)

Art: Ooh, I adore any kind of Rey art, but especially happy art or Rey with her lightsaber and/or staff (maybe she could wield a lightstaff, like Maul in TPM? That I'd love love love to see!). I prefer pastels for her, and I have a Very Big Thing for fabric porn, so that would be gorgeous.

 

 

 

Tolkien

Hobbit – Movies

Tauriel

Ships I 'ship: Tauriel/Lírien, Tauriel/Galadriel, Tauriel/Arwen, Tauriel/Arwen/Lírien

Gen things: Tauriel as a warrior

Fic: I'd like an either gen or ship approach to Tauriel's relationships with her fellow guards—does she get along with them? Does she have a lover? Do they banter and laugh together or are they serious and grim, or both? Is there anyone she hates with the fire of a thousand suns? Or something shippy and gentle for my 'ships, maybe Tauriel visiting Lórien/Rivendell as an ambassador or messenger and slowly falling in love, with all the loyalty kink and music kink. And for Tauriel/Arwen, I'd love partners-in-crime!

Art: I am so in love in Tauriel that it's ridiculous, and I'd really, really love to see he fighting or training, because I'm Very Much Into Tauriel as a warrior. Or a gentle moment with a lover(s), maybe feeding each other or bathing.

 

Lírien

Ships I 'ship: Lírien/Arwen, Lírien/Tauriel, Lírien/Arwen/Tauriel

Gen things: Lírien as a musician

Fic: I love music, so anything to do with music would be lovelovelove. For my ships, I'd love, again, slow burn, gentleness, romance in the sunset, and loyalty and music kink.

Art: I'd love to see Lírien playing the harp—and maybe one of her lovers looking down adoringly at her as she plays?

 

For group: Lírien & Tauriel, see above.

 

 

 

Lord of the Rings

Arwen

Ships I 'ship: Arwen/Goldberry, Arwen/Éowyn, Arwen/Éowyn/Lothíriel, Lothíriel/Arwen, Arwen/Gilraen, Arwen/Ioreth, Lírien/Arwen, Arwen/Tauriel

Gen things: Arwen as the Queen of Gondor, Arwen adjusting to mortality, Arwen and Elanor Gardner

Fic: I'd love to see Arwen adjusting to her new mortality and its consequences, as well as her role as Queen of Gondor. For Arwen and Elanor, something about Elanor being very excited to see the Elven Queen she's heard so much of? Eventual Arwen & Elanor friendship would, of course, be much appreciated. Arwen/Goldberry: Arwen stumbles upon a strange woman early in the Third Age, in the peacetime, maybe? Or after Aragorn's death, finding some hope and comfort in life while she waits to pass? Either way, I'd love a gentle fic about mortality and loss, and about love in all its myriad forms. A bittersweet tone would be lovely.

Art: Anything with Arwen, really, maybe her staring out at Gondor or standing in a clearing? I'd prefer to see an Arwen who doesn't resemble Liv Tyler too closely, although general face ref is, of course, more than fine! I also have a very vague and probably-not-very-executable prompt, but if it's at all possible, I'd love to see Arwen as an immortal who has chosen mortality, and her position between two worlds because of this.

 

Celebrían

Ships I 'ship: Celebrían/Goldberry

Gen things: Celebrían with her children, Celebrían with her parents, Celebrían in her younger days

Fic: I'd love to see Celebrían in happy days, or in Valinor—bittersweet fic and angst would be lovely, but I don't want darkfic for her. I'd love to see her bantering with friends or family (including Elrond!) or a love (or lust!) story between her and Goldberry.

Art: I don't know why, but I'd adore art of Celebrían dancing, alone or with family or friends or Elrond or Goldberry. I'd also like to see her happy, laughing and smiling and talking, or out in the woods.

 

Éowyn

Ships I 'ship: Éowyn/Lothíriel, Éowyn/Arwen, Arwen/Éowyn/Lothíriel, Éowyn/Tar-Míriel

Gen things: Éowyn as a warrior and ruler, Éowyn and Arwen and/or Lothíriel

Fic: Fic with equestrian stuff would be great. I'd also adore seeing Éowyn as a warrior, during, pre-, or post-LotR. Or maybe something to do with ruling and politics?

Art: Éowyn riding over the plains of Rohan, or Éowyn riding into battle, or Éowyn fighting. Or dark Éowyn/Tar-Míriel art.

 

Finduilas of Dol Amroth

Ships I 'ship: Finduilas/Denethor

Gen things: Finduilas and her family, Finduilas with her children, Finduilas adjusting to Gondor

Fic: Finduilas/Denethor in which they really do love each other, but in a fucked-up way, would be wonderful, as would bittersweet family fic in Gondor. I'd also love to hear about a lover from Finduilas' youth.

Art: Finduilas longing for the sea, maybe, or Finduilas with her children, or both?

 

Galadriel

Ships I 'ship: Galadriel/Lúthien, Galadriel/Melian, Galadriel/Andreth

Gen things: An AU where Galadriel will take the Ring and does a great and terrible Queen, and all shall love her, and despair

Fic: The dark AU would be lovely, but I'd also adore a fic of Galadriel fighting Sauron, fighting the long defeat, a battle that's been raging for years. Or the early years, and striking out to build her own realm, or being the only woman to stand tall among the contending princes on the day of the Oath. Or navigating politics, and putting into practise the crafts she's learnt from Melian

Art: Again, Galadriel striking out to carve a new realm or standing tall among the contending princes, or running or participating in athletics, or learning from Melian, or practising the arts she's learned, or fighting Sauron mentally.

 

Gilraen

Ships I 'ship: Arwen/Gilraen

Gen things: Arwen and Gilraen, Gilraen adjusting to Rivendell, young Gilraen as a Dúnedan woman and the Chief's wife.

Fic: Arwen and Gilraen: 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. How did they get on? Very well, or not at all? 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. Arwen/Gilraen: ooh, I love this for its awkward connotations. A gentle fic, if portraying their relationship, but I'd also love a look at the awkwardness that would result—"Aragorn, I've already met your Mother. In fact, I've gone down on her too many times to count". A relationship notbased on love, but mutual loss and comfort, staving away loneliness, would be an added bonus. And, as above, bonding! I'd love bonding, and discussions/portrayals of mortality and immortality. Also, as I've said in the friendship section, Arwen/Gilraen in the window of time between Aragorn going away and their betrothal would be lovely.

Art: Arwen and Gilraen in a quiet moment, maybe, or Gilraen or young Aragorn, maybe him toddling towards her. I'd love a palette of greens if you could make that work?

 

Goldberry

Ships I 'ship: Goldberry/Arwen, Goldberry/Haleth, Celebrían/Goldberry, Goldberry/Lady of the Blue Brooch(/Tom), Goldberry/any female character, really

Gen things: Goldberry with the River-woman, Goldberry and Tom Bombadil

Fic: I see Goldberry as a sort of Middle-earth Calypso, doomed to fall in love with women who can't stay for crimes which may or may not be mentioned. Or something about her and the River-woman, maybe?

Art: Something to do with water-lilies, maybe, or the River-woman embracing her daughter, or Goldberry weaving (harmless) enchantment over her lovers.

 

Ioreth

Ships I 'ship: Arwen/Ioreth

Gen things: Ioreth as a Healer

Fic: I'd like learning and teaching for Arwen/Ioreth a mutual relationship, gentle, but bittersweet, and dealing with mortality and loss. Or gen of this would be lovely, too. I'd also love something connected to Imloth Melui and its roses—why do they have such significance to Ioreth? Was it because of a lover she had when she was 'a lass'? A bittersweet or unhappy ending is fine, but the relationship itself I'd like to be happy, a relationship out of the old tales—one which even a king would be content with. Or maybe Ioreth is in a relationship with another Healer?

Art: Ioreth healing—I'd love to see her at work. Or maybe Ioreth in Imloth Melui, at whatever age you want her to be.

 

Ivorwen

Ships I 'ship: Ivorwen/Dírhael

Gen things: Ivorwen and Gilraen, Ivorwen's role as a seer in Dúnedain society

Fic: Politics, foresight, and their roles in Dúnedain society would be lovely—I'd also love to see Aragorn or Gilraen with Ivorwen, and maybe both in one fic would be gorgeous!

Art: I'd love to see Gilraen and Ivorwen interacting, maybe talking, maybe working together on something—anything goes, really, as long as it features these twp.

 

Lady of the Blue Brooch

Ships I 'ship: Goldberry/Lady of the Blue Brooch(/Tom)

Gen things: Who the lady was.

Fic: The Lady of the Blue Brooch is a Cardolan noblewoman to whom the butterfly-shaped blue brooch from the barrows in FotR belonged, and Tom and Goldberry knew her. I've read almost all the versions of Goldberry/Lady of the Blue Brooch ever written, and they're all amazing, but I'll never stop wanting to know more!

Art: Something to do with the lady and the brooch, or her and Goldberry, or both? (I'd be quite interested in seeing what your idea of this character looks like!)

 

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins

Confession: I want one very, very specific thing for Lobelia, and that is her attacking the Chief's Men with her umbrella, and how the story of her doing that is spread around the Shire. Fic or art, that would be pure, pure amazingness!

 

Lothíriel

Ships I 'ship: Éowyn/Lothíriel, Éowyn/Arwen/Lothíriel

Gen things: Lothíriel with her siblings, Lothíriel as the Queen of Rohan

Fic: Politics! Politics galore, please, and also queens finding themselves away from home and taking comfort from their peers. I don't mind infidelity, but open relationships would be so much better! For Éowyn/Lothíriel especially, but both relationships, I'd also like a bit more about the Rohirrim. I love horses, so if you could include equestrian detail in the fic that'd also be lovely.

Art: Lothíriel looking out at the plains of Rohan, or a young Lothíriel playing with her siblings, or maybe the three queens sitting around a fireplace, talking.

 

Malbeth the Seer

Ships I 'ship: Femslash

Gen things: Foresight and its mixed blessings, and court politics

Fic: 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). And maybe, again, court politics and the role of seers in Dúnedain society?

Art: I really, really want two other Seers and Malbeth to go 'when shall we three meet again/in thunder, lightning, or in rain?' (But all joking aside, I'd love art where Malbeth channels the witches, because yes. Or something about the future Malbeth sees, and what role foresight plays in her life—maybe her seeing a vision? )

 

Mithrellas, Nimrodel

Ah, the good old mediaeval lady/handmaiden trope. 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 does she really love him, at first? Is there a gradual descent into madness on both sides? Hurt feelings and anger, power dynamic—all things I want. Whether they find each other again is up to you, but I don't want a fluffy ending—bittersweet or angsty would be better. Or, if you want to go the gen way, a gen version of this, with friendship-unto-death would be wonderful, too.

For art, I'd love to see Mithrellas and Nimrodel wandering in the woods together, or maybe them feeding each other? Or Mithrellas staring longingly at the sea, thinking of Nimrodel?

 

Rosie Cotton

Ships I 'ship: lowkey Sam/Rose

Gen things: Rose's day-to-day life

Fic: This is the one character for whom I'd love domestic fluff untempered by angst or bittersweetness, if that's your thing. Or Rose in her last years, presiding over her children and great-grandchildren as the matriarch of the Gardner clan. Or maybe Rose experimented with another lass when she was younger?

Art: A cozy domestic scene would be wonderful for Rose, her and Sam and their children huddled up next to a fire. Or maybe a fair or market, and Rose gossiping with friends?

 

Vidumavi

Ships I 'ship: lowkey Vidumavi/Valacar

Gen things: the culture of Rhovanion, Vidumavi and Vinitharya

Fic: I'd love to read about the culture of Rhovanian and maybe cultural clashes either with Valacar or when she goes to Gondor, or both, and what role and duties Vidumavi had as a Princess of Rhovanion, and about her sibling, if she had any.

Art: What does Vidumavi look like? I'd adore seeing the traditional garb of Rhovanion, maybe on a formal occasion.

 

 

 

Silmarillion

Aerin, Amarië, Curufin's Wife, Eärwen, Isildur's Wife, Meleth

Ships I 'ship: Femslash

Gen things: The lives of these women we didn't see in canon. How did Aerin aid Morwen, and how did she come to burn herself after Brodda's death? Was she in love with either Rían, Morwen or Broddun? What did Amarië do in her spare time, or, indeed, do at all? Who was Curufin's wife? What happened to her? How did Eärwen fall in love with Arafinwë—or didn't? And how did she react to the Kinslaying? Was Isildur's wife part of the network of Faithful? How did Meleth come to be Eärendil's nurse? And how did all of them adjust to the times they lived in and the changing circumstances of their lives?

Fic: For all of them, I'd like a day-in-the-life fic, an quiet, introspective fic, a fic about their lives outside their husbands, their reactions to canon events. I basically want to see the living, breathing people which footnotes didn't convey.

Art: I'd love to see these women with lovers, and/or doing something they love, or a moment in their day-to-day lives.

 

Andreth

Ships I 'ship: Galadriel/Andreth, lowkey

Gen things: Andreth as a Wise-woman, Andreth and Adanel, Andreth debating, Andreth and her family

Fic: I love Andreth's bitterness and her pragmaticness and some of the lines in the Athrabeth are so, so beautiful. I'd like to see a piece exploring her relationship with Aegnor and/or Adanel and/or her brother Bregor. (Finrod is a grey area for me, as I dislike his condescension in the Athrabeth, but if you can make it work, then I wouldn't mind seeing this, too!)

Art: Maybe a drawing of that scene at Tarn Aeluin with a star caught in Andreth's hair, only with Galadriel instead of Aegnor? Or Andreth and Galadriel walking through the woods? Or Andreth learning from Adanel? Or debating with Finrod?

 

Anairë

Ships I 'ship: Anairë/Fingolfin, Anairë/Fingolfin/Fëanor, Anairë/Eärwen

Gen things: Anairë and her children, Anairë's life outside her family (what did she do? Was she a painter, a poet, a scholar, something else?)

Fic: I'd really, really love it if you could have Fingolfin loving both Fëanor and Anairë—maybe OT3, maybe a v-shaped relationship—and I'd love to see how this would affect Anairë. For this, I'd like passion and fire and promises and betrayal and all the stuff of tragedy and song—an AU where Anairë came with Fingolfin? Or maybe she chose to stay anyway. For gen: why did Anairë stay behind?

Art: I'd love to see Anairë doing something she loves (or) with her children, especially Aredhel—mother-daughter bonding would be hugely appreciated!

 

Aredhel

Ships I 'ship: Aredhel/Haleth, Aredhel/Vána, Aredhel/Lúthien, non-romantic (i.e. friends-with-benefits and no-strings-attached) Aredhel/Elenwë, and I'm going to add Aredhel/OFC, because while I love all OFC-related 'ships, Aredhel/OFC is a Thing for me.

Gen things: I'd love to see Aredhel in either Valinor or Middle-earth (I don't mind which), a wild-child who goes where her heart wills, bright and beautiful and yearning to be free. And if you want something more specific: Aredhel with her friends, Aredhel with her siblings and/or parents, Aredhel and Idril, Aredhel as a princess of the Noldor, Aredhel as a warrior, hunting and riding and exploring (both in Valinor and Middle-earth), Aredhel on the Ice, urging her people on.

Fic: Aredhel bantering with her (female) friends, maybe, or trying (and failing) to navigate Gondolin and its complexities. And 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.

Art: When I think of Aredhel, I think of freedom and joy, and I'm not sure how to translate that into an art prompt—but anything about Aredhel, freedom, and joy. Or, if you want a specific situation, I'd love to see Aredhel laughing with friends or family, or Aredhel dancing in the rain, or Aredhel dancing, period.

 

Berúthiel

Ships I 'ship: Femslash

Gen things: Cats. Definitely cats.

Fic: I'd love to see Berúthiel and another woman—two cat ladies not living happily ever after! Or, if you want to do something less crack-ish, maybe Berúthiel missing her home, and maybe a lover left behind.

Art: Berúthiel and her cats. Lots and lots of cats, and Berúthiel's love/hate relationship with them. I will be forever happy with cats, thank you very much.

 

Elemmírë

Ships I 'ship: Írimë/Elemmírë

Gen things: Elemmírë composing the Aldudénië

Fic: For Elemmírë/Írimë: I'd love questions about duty and love, family and honour, and about betrayal and truth. A not-so-fluffy Valinor fic would be lovely if you're so inclined, or maybe Elemmírë saying goodbye to her lover or Írimë reminiscing in Beleriand? Again, I don't like happy endings for this pairing, and problems with no easy answers would be welcome. Something to do with the Aldudénië would also be lovely for both gen and ship.

Art: I'd love to see Elemmírë performing, or composing, intense and passionate. Or a quiet moment with Írimë, or their goodbye, dark and tragic.

 

Elenwë

Ships I 'ship: non-romantic Elenwë/Aredhel

Gen things: Elenwë and Idril, Elenwë with the women of the House of Finwë, Elenwë and friends-with-benefits

Fic: I'd love anything to do with Elenwë—and by anything, I mean anything. I'm not picky about the subject! (But if you want prompts, maybe little Idril and Elenwë, or Elenwë chatting with Eldalótë?)

Art: I'd love to see art of Elenwë surrounded by stars, as befitting her name, or of her jumping to save Idril, or laughing among family or girlfriends.

 

Elwing

Ships I 'ship: Elwing/the wind

Gen things:...uh, Elwing doing things?

Fic: This is my self-indulgent ship-only prompt of the letter, and I just want to see Elwing and the wing loving each other. Nothing more, nothing else.

Art: Again, Elwing and the wind, and all the shippy goodness which comes of this.

 

Emeldir

Ships I ship: F/F

Gen things: Emeldir the Manhearted, leader of her people, Emeldir and Morwen

Fic: I love Emeldir's leadership and her bravery, and I'd love to read more about her as a leader, and what happened after she reached Brethil—did she stay or go back, and what happened? I'd also love an AU where she stayed behind and fought as she wanted to, and what this would mean for Beren and Lúthien and the fate of Middle-earth. I'd also love to read about Emeldir and young Morwen—maybe mentorship, maybe just companionship, maybe Morwen idolized Emeldir. Anything goes, really.

Art: Emeldir leading her people to Brethil, or fighting, sword in hand.

 

Erendis

Ships I 'ship: lowkey Erendis/Aldarion, Erendis and Uinen

Gen things: Erendis and Ancalimë, Erendis and the women of her household, Erendis and her parents, Erendis and Almarian. I love love love how flawed and human Erendis is, bitter and angry and petty but still bright and beautiful, so bitter, proud, and unyielding Erendis would be wonderful.

Fic: Politics, the role of women in Númenor (and Erendis' speech to Ancalimë about men is of special interest—more, please?), and Erendis and Almarian plotting—the oiolairë bough scene would be of special interest to me, if you could include it.

Art: I'd love to see Tar-Elestrinë, with star on brow and her eyes shining brighter even than the gem. Or maybe Erendis' drowning? Was Uinen involved?

 

Finduilas

Ships I 'ship: Finduilas/Nienor, Finduilas/Nellas/Nienor

Gen things: Finduilas lives! And leads the refugees of Nargothrond?

Fic: What would change if Finduilas lived? What wouldn't? Would she get together with Nellas and/or Nienor? With another woman, maybe a refugee from Nargothrond? Or would she lead a solitary but extremely full life as a huntress, soldier, and leader?

Art: Finduilas Faelivrin, they call her, and I'd love to see light glinting off her hair or skin, to mirror her name, while she's strolling in the gardens of Nargothrond (maybe with Nienor?). Or alternately, a Finduilas lives AU where she's leading troops into battle or refugees from Nargothrond into Brethil.

 

Haleth

Ships I 'ship: Haleth/Lúthien, Haleth/Aredhel, Haleth/Írimë, Haleth/Goldberry

Gen things: Haleth as a leader, Haleth as a warrior, Haleth with her warriors, Haleth leading her people through Nan Dungorthreb.

Fic: I'd adore seeing something about Haleth's role as a leader and warrior. Or maybe one of my 'ships, the immortal fascinated by Haleth's mortality, Haleth by the immortal's otherness?

Art: Art showing Haleth fighting, leading her people through Nan Dungorthreb, maybe? Or Haleth with one of her bodyguards?

 

Idril

Ships I 'ship: lowkey Tuor/Idril

Gen things: Idril and Aredhel, Idril as a princess and politician, Idril and her father, Idril after Gondolin

Fic: A plotty fic with lots of drama and politics would be what I'm looking for with Idril—I'd love to see her dealing with various political situations, or leading refugees out of Gondolin, or both. Anything with a lot of plot would be lovely!

Art: Idril barefoot in the grass, Idril leading refugees out of Gondolin

 

Ilmarë

Ships I 'ship: Ilmarë/Varda

Gen things: Ilmarë and Varda

Fic: For both gen and ship, power dynamics! (You can go the sex-y way if you want to, of course, but I'd prefer a different kind of power) Loyalty, faithfulness, even through misguided decisions?

Art: I'd love to see Ilmarë staring adoringly up at Varda, who's covered in and blanketed by stars. Or Ilmarë kneeling to Varda?

 

Indis

Ships I 'ship: Indis/Nerdanel

Gen things: Indis as a princess of the Vanyar and as the Queen of the Ñoldor, Indis with her children and with Fëanor's children, Indis attempting to reach out to Fëanor (and maybe initially succeeding?), Indis and friends.

Fic: I'm always interested in fic which explores Indis' role amongst the Ñoldor and the Vanyar. Or maybe something to do with her thoughts on being Finwë's second wife, in a society where that's usually taboo? Or Indis reaching out to her children and Fëanor's children, and maybe dark-ish family fic intertwined with politics? Or how Indis reacts to the fact that Finwë and Fëanor have 'a double bond of love' and her children will always be second-best to their father? Or 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. Also Indis and Fingon doing things (family fluff, politics, whatever rocks your boat), because I imagine them to be very fond of each other (and maybe Maedhros joins them occasionally, but also very guiltily, because she's his step-grandmother and his sort-of-husband's grandmother, but his father hates her?).

Art: 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—and my costume porn is showing. Or Indis as Finwë first saw her, singing and gloriously beautiful in the golden light. Or Indis, laughing at a joke or immersed in something she's passionate about. Or Indis with her children (especially Fingolfin and Írimë).

 

Írimë

Ships I 'ship: Írimë/Elemmírë

Gen things: Írimë and Aredhel, Írimë and her siblings, Írimë and Indis

Fic: I'd love to see Írimë laughing and bantering with her girlfriends/Aredhel/Findis, or what sort of relationship she has with her siblings. As for Aredhel, I'd love lots of snark, laughter, and banter, and a bright, vivid soul.

Art: I'd love to see Lalwen, the laughing maiden, her eyes alight, hair streaming down her back, caught in mid-laugh, or in a half-smile, radiating joy and happiness.

 

Lúthien

Ships I 'ship: Haleth/Lúthien, Thuringwethil/Lúthien, Galadriel/Lúthien, lowkey Beren/Lúthien

Gen things: Lúthien singing or dancing among the flowers, Lúthien defeating Sauron and Morgoth

Fic: For gen, maybe something to do with Lúthien and any friends she had in Doriath, and how she deals with her admirers and what she did with her time before Beren. For Thuringwethil/Lúthien, I'd love seduction and anger and darkness—all the love/hate relationships, please! For Galadriel/Lúthien, I'd love give-and-take and both of them learning from each other. For Lúthien/Haleth, Beren not being the first mortal Lúthien loved—I'd love questions about duty and love, mortality and fate—all the hard questions with no easy answers, which is what I picture this relationship to be like. Also a bittersweet or sad goodbye, which made Lúthien resolve to take the chance if she ever fell in love with a mortal again.

Art: Lúthien dancing with flowers in her hair in the starlit woods of Doriath, or in front of the throne of Morgoth, or for Mandos. Lúthien and her mother in a moment of companionship. Lúthien and a lover, tangled together in a grassy clearing underneath the stars.

 

Melian

Ships I 'ship: Melian/Galadriel

Gen things: Lúthien and Melian, Melian and Galadriel, Melian as the Queen of Doriath.

Fic: I want to know more about how Lúthien and Melian interact with each other—messy family dynamics, pain, betrayal, anger, teenage angst, all that schist, but also a mother and daughter loving each other deeply but also leading lives independent of each other. Or Melian mentoring Galadriel, please! Political subplots would be lovely, and so would fluffy goodness (although I wouldn't be averse to a darker fic).

Art: I'd love to see Melian and Thingol entranced with each other, standing as the stars wheeled above them. Alternately, Melian on her throne in Menegroth would be lovely, or Melian teaching Galadriel how to use a Mirror-like device, maybe or some other kind of what we mortals would call 'magic.

 

Míriel

Ships I 'ship: Míriel/Vairë

Gen things: Míriel watching Fëanor from the Halls, Míriel and Indis, Míriel weaving

Fic: I'd love to read about Míriel, in all her stubborn glory, whether it's 'ship or gen. Why did Míriel first choose to stay in the Halls and then leave? Was it sheer contrariness or something else? I'd love a fic about Míriel in the Halls of Vairë—how she came to choose to stay there, maybe, or a slice-of-life fic. And after Míriel left, did she and Indis become friends? Did they hate each other, or not give a damn about the other's existence?

Art: I'd love to see Míriel at work, working on her embroidery. Míriel watching over Finwë and Fëanor and her descendants from the Halls might also make for fun art!

 

Morwen

Ships I 'ship: Aerin/Morwen

Gen things: Morwen and Emeldir, Morwen with her family, the pride and majesty of Morwen which was so great that none dared touch her

Fic: I love how bitter and stubborn and proud Morwen is—she is a wonderful, wonderful character, and something about her pride and the downfall which came from it would be lovely. And Morwen holding out against the Easterlings for so long, through sheer willpower, is great, and an exploration of that would be fascinating. Ship 'wise, Morwen/Aerin, for me, is about finding strength in each other and leaning on each other to get through dark times. As such, a gentle fic about companionship with hints at dark things would be what I'm looking for, but I don't mind messy, entangled feelings and rage and betrayal either

Art: Maybe Morwen with Lalaith, and maybe Nienor? Or Morwen looking out over the woods of Dorthonion, the 'witch' the Easterlings feared. Or Morwen learning from Emeldir, or Morwen in the woods of Doriath, or Morwen in the wild, near her end.

 

Nellas

Ships I 'ship: Nellas/Nienor, Nellas/Goldberry, Nellas/Finduilas/Nienor

Gen things: We don't know much about Nellas' fate, and I'd like to see more!

Fic: I'd like her to have a bittersweet story, a ever-moving, flitting-about sort of existence, maybe, a bittersweet drifting between people and places, especially if you're doing Nellas/Goldberry.

Art: I'd love to see Nellas dancing with her lover(s), beautiful and wild and free. Or any joyful moment, really, I just want happy, joyful art!

 

Nerdanel

Ships I 'ship: Indis/Nerdanel

Gen things: Nerdanel as a sculptor and artist, Nerdanel as a mother

Fic: I'd love to see Nerdanel passionate about her sculpting, or with her children—a day-in-the-life fic, maybe? I'd also adore seeing Nerdanel pre-Fëanor or during the Darkening. Indis/Nerdanel: I absolutely love this pairing, although its basis is extremely obscure. Here's the quote (let's pretend I haven't memorized it): “But Nerdanel would not go with [Fëanor], and she asked leave to abide with Indis, whom she had ever esteemed...” (The Later Quenta Silmarillion (II), Morgoth's Ring, page 279 in the 2002 HarperCollins paperback edition). Anything to do with Indis/Nerdanel would be fine, really—I count only five Indis/Nerdanel fics on the Internet; I want more!

Art: I'd love to see Nerdanel absorbed in her work, or Nerdanel and Indis together. I just want to see Nerdanel, really, in any way you care to draw her!

 

Nienna

Ships I 'ship:...uh, Nienna/Estë

Gen things: Nienna's role as a Valië, Nienna and Gandalf

Fic: Nienna's pity for all beings, even Melkor, and its importance in the Music, is something I love, and maybe Gandalf would also be a part of this fic, as a student of Nienna's learning pity and mercy from her? Or a gentle fic about Nienna and Estë, and the Healer soothing the hurts of the Weeper, especially since Nienna loved to walk by Estë's pools, if my faulty recollection is correct.

Art: Nienna weeping with the world, however you visualize that, maybe, or Nienna and Estë in a gentle moment?

 

Nienor

Ships I 'ship: Nellas/Nienor, Finduilas/Nienor, Nellas/Finduilas/Nienor

Gen things: Nienor lives

Fic: If you can make my Nienor 'ships (or friendships—I'd love either) work canon-'verse, that would, of course, be lovely, but I am here for all the canon divergence AUs! I want these ladies to get a happy ending—taking back their lives, taking control. I don't mind initial angst, of course, or bittersweet endings—I just don't want complete tragedy.

Art: I don't really have a concrete idea of what art I want for Nienor—just that I want art for her, and lots of it! Maybe her holding a flower in her hand, eyes closed, or some such pose?

 

Original Dwarf Character(s), Original Moriquendi Characters

I'd love to see more about Dwarves and/or Moriquendi culture. And the two OCs together would be lovely—or the OC with a named character?

For fic, I'd love cultural explorations and, if you're so inclined, romance, maybe the OC with a canon character, maybe the OC and another OC, maybe the Dwarven and Elven Ocs together—and if you choose interspecies romance, cultural and political clashes.

For art, I'd love to see your OC interacting with a canon character, or maybe by themselves or with other Dwarves/Moriquendi, doing something they love or participating in a festival, maybe?

 

Rían

Ships I 'ship: Aerin/Rían

Gen things: Rían's songs, Rían the gentle soul, lover of trees and flowers, who was born for peaceful times but thrust into war

Fic: Rían's songs are something I'd love to hear more about. Or maybe a day in her life, or her with very young Tuor, among the Grey Elves? For Aerin/Rían, the lines 'you are mobile as the veering air/and all your charms more changeful than the tide' (idea stolen from Amy Fortuna) are what I think of, so something based on that?

Art: Rían singing. I always picture her as tiny and delicate and looking like she could be blow away by the wind (and maybe literal Rían/female Maia of Manwë?).

 

Silmarien

Ships I 'ship: Lindissë/Silmarien

Gen things: Silmarien as a politician, Silmarien with friends, Silmarien and her parents, Silmarien and her siblings and/or other relatives (especially Yavien and Mairen—I ship them together,) or (for either fic or art) I'd love love love an AU where Silmarien was the first Ruling Queen (and the results of that).

Fic: Silmarien is one of the more obscure characters of the legendarium, so, of course, I adore her. I'd love to see her in any capacity, but especially as a leader equal to—or better than—her father and brother, and as a politician. I'd love to see Silmarien forming connections and power. Or, if that's not your thing, I'd also 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 open-minded? An open relationship based on the same premise? Or are they parted? (And maybe, for any of these—or any other idea you have—Silmarien starts a long campaign to allow same-sex marriage which culminates in Tar-Telperien's marriage to her wife many generations later?)

Art: I'd be happy with just about any art featuring her, but for ideas? Maybe art of an AU where she became the first Ruling Queen, or just her as a princess. Or a quiet moment with Lindissë, the two of them entwined in each other.

 

Tar-Ancalimë

Ships I 'ship: Tar-Ancalimë/Nessanië

Gen things: Ancalimë and her parents and the effects of her childhood on her later life, Tar-Ancalimë the first Ruling Queen, Tar-Ancalimë and Anárion

Fic: I get quite a lot of kicks out of imagining Tar-Ancalimë in love with Hallacar's sister! A gentle fic shipping fic is lovely, but I'd also love politics and drama—I'm interesting in what made Ancalimë the domineering, hard-hearted woman she was made out to be. Pulling a Those Pesky Historians is, of course, fine, but I'd also enjoy Ancalimë being forced to be controlling as she's a woman in a man's world, and a case of 'damned if you, damned if you don't. Or, you could have her naturally arrogant and work with that. It's anything goes for me! I'm also interested in seeing what sort of relationship Tar-Ancalimë had with her son and granddaughters—were they estranged? Chilly? Close? A mix of the above?

Art: Pomp and splendour! I'd love something majestic, and I'd love Ancalimë wearing lots of dazzling jewellery, and being commanding in general. Or, in contrast to that, a private moment with Nessanië, a comfortable companionship with her lover.

 

Tar-Míriel

Ships I 'ship: Femslash? Maybe Tar-Míriel/Uinen, Tar-Míriel/Elendil's wife, Tar-Míriel/Isildur's wife, or an OFC. Or Éowyn/Míriel Witch-King 'verse

Gen things: Tar-Míriel as the Witch-King of Angmar! Tar-Míriel with her father, Tar-Míriel as a ruler

Fic: I'd love to see Tar-Míriel aiding and abetting the Faithful despite her husband. Alternately, I'd also love a gloriously unrepentant Ar-Zimraphel ruling alongside Ar-Pharazôn—just lots of politics with maybe a dash of femslash thrown in, please. For femslasj, I want Tar-Míriel to have a slice of happiness before—or after—everything goes wrong. Make the setting and plot as dark as you like—the darker the better—but the relationship itself I'd prefer if it were more gentle, and loving. And, of course, Tar-Míriel as the Witch King is welcome! For the Witch-King/Éowyn (or Éowyn and the Witch-King, I don't mind either way): I am just very, very on board with the Tar-Míriel is the Witch King theory and I'd like darkfic about that. Canon divergence, of course, is fine, but so is canon 'verse gapfilling. I just want anger and tragedy and angst and all the yummy darkness. Make it as messed-up as you like—rape/non-con/dubcon are all fine for this fic. I just want a really, really fucked up dynamic, whether shippy or otherwise

Art: Tar-Míriel as the Witch-King would be lovely, wild and dangerous and terrible and dark, and, of course, all the femslash pairings for that. Or maybe Uinen took Tar-Míriel in after she 'drowned'? Or art of the Ruling Queen, sad and beautiful, or powerful and cunning, or both. Elaborate costumes and weird and wacky color palettes all around!

 

Tar-Telperien

Ships I 'ship: F/F

Gen things: Tar-Telperien as a ruler

Fic: Because The Line of Elros saying that Tar-Telperien 'would we with no man' got me thinking of the woman she married. I want politics, for this fic, all the messy political entanglements, and how Tar-Telperien came to be seen in history so negatively.

Art: Debauched orgies and parties, with Telperien at their center! Or Tar-Telperien's marriage; a visual depiction of that would be wonderful.

 

Thuringwethil

Ships I 'ship: Haleth/Thuringwethil, Lúthien/Thuringwethil, Ungoliant/Thuringwethil

Gen things: Thuringwethil as a servant of Sauron

Fic: I am here for the female blood-sucking Middle-earth vampires and all the blood-sucking fic ever. Honestly, this is my only need. (Okay, I lied. I would also quite adore some sort of dark femslash fic, with dark ladies being gloriously and unabashedly evil, or good ladies and evil ladies clashing and hating each other very very much, but, again, blood-sucking. Blood-sucking is awesome and the reason I exist.)

Art: Do I even need to say this? Blood-sucking. Thuringwethil sucking someone's blood, or flying, or, in an astounding feat of gymnastics, both!

 

Ungoliant

Ships I 'ship: Ungoliant/Arien, Thuringwethil/Ungoliant

Gen things: Ungoliant's beginnings, Ungoliant with Thuringwethil, Ungoliant sucking the Light out of the Trees (I'd love it if you used Ungoliant's expanded story in Morgoth's Ring, and also Myths Transformed, but I will also equally love anything to do with her—there's so little, and I want more!)

Fic: An origin story, 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? What made her Dark? Where did she gain her hunger for Light? Or alternately, what happens to Ungoliant?—her fate isn't clear after she flees to Nan Dungortheb, so there's plenty of room for exploration there. Or maybe Ungoliant overpowering Morgoth, because yessss. Anything goes, and I'd love it if you included Ungoliant/Arien in any situation, but I want a majestic, glorious story for her, please, in tone if not in content.

Art: I'd love a visualization of the scene where she sucks Light out of the Two Trees. Or Ungoliant and Arien—the Sun and a giant spider, I'd be interested to see how that worked. Or you could have them take human raiment—that's something I'd love to see. Basically, all the spider art, because I love spiders and there's not enough of them.

 

Vairë

Ships I ship: Vairë/Míriel

Gen things: Vairë the Weaver, Vairë in her Halls

Fic: Vairë and her weaving and her recording of history is fascinating, and I'd love to see something about that—is she indifferent to what she witnesses, or does she rage at events that occur, or does she laugh at foolish mortals? Or does she, once or twice, intervene? Or, Vairë's knowledge of Míriel (or at least her astute guesses) in The Statute of Finwë and Míriel is...interesting, to say the least. And there's a lot more subtext there, too!

Art: I'd love to see Vairë weaving Time and History, 'in the 'act'. Or Vairë and Míriel, souls without bodies, together in the Halls of Mandos or Vairë's dwellings.

 

Varda (Elbereth Gilthoniel)

Ships I 'ship: Ilmarë/Varda

Gen things: Varda at the beginning of the world, Varda Queen of Stars

Fic: I love that even Melkor feared Varda, and maybe something along that line?

Art: Stars! I'd love anything to do with stars—maybe a visualization of her creating stars, or creating the Dome if you follow Myths Transformed?
