the_wavesinger | FemslashEx Letter

Hello and welcome, dearest creator!

I am so, so happy we've matched and overjoyed that you're making femslash-y art or fic for me!

First, please note that if you've written/drawn a pairing for me before and I've requested it again and prompted the same thing as before, that definitely does not mean I don't like it! I just always want moarr art and fic for my pairings. Also, I would love anything from G-rated to explicit fic/art!

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.

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. 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, for both fic and art. And, of course, you can comment anonymously on this post or leave an anonymous ask on my Tumblr if you want to know more.

DNWs:

Gore/guro/vore.
Necrophilia, bestiality.
Torture of animals. (Humans/humanoids/other sapients being tortured is more than fine!)
Graphic descriptions of nausea/vomiting for fic, nausea/vomiting at all for art.
(Fic) Reader inserts.
Mundane 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!)
(Fic) 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) and that only in Tolkien. 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?).
For smut, I'd prefer not to see bloodplay, scat, watersports, and age play, and any sort of permanent marking/scarring (scarring and permanent markings outside smut is perfectly fine) unless I've prompted these things for the specific pairing.
F/M smut unless I've requested a F/M pairing.
Parent/child incest unless specifically requested. (Other incest is perfectly fine.)
(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 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.

General Likes:

Angst. Drama. Politics. Tragedy.
Philosophical ponderings!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Cultural differences and clashes that occur due to cultural differences.
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! (Non-explicit) orgies!
Transgender characters would be amazing, as would non-binary characters and just fucking with and/or ignoring traditional gender roles in general.
I like relationships that are fated to end in tragedy, but I also like a pinch of humor with my angst.
All the things that could've happened, but didn't.
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?
Again, canon divergence AUs, and For Want Of A Nail and what-if scenarios. I'd love both longer fic and snapshots of what could have been, all the things that could've happened, but didn't.
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 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.
I love characters with flaws and unpleasant qualities! Awesome ladies can be awesome and flawed :).
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.
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.)
Bittersweetness.
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!

Smut Likes

I will always want F/F or M/M smut, even if I haven't explicitly requested it!
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, 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!)
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.
(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.)

Darkfic/art Likes:
I adore non-dark fic and art as well! My likes for those things are in the general likes/art likes and prompts sections.

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 noncon and whumpu noncon aftermath.
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 Likes & Prompts

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.
Characters with visible height differences from each other!
Elaborate weapons
Court settings with pomp and circumstance or everyday life are both things I enjoy seeing.
Studies in opposites
Limited palettes
Characters of color! (Racebending is awesome, too.)
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.)
Characters arguing or debating with each other.
Starlight and warm colors and pastels.
Characters passionate with and about each other and about things they love
Characters fighting and having each other's backs!
Characters fighting and having each other's backs, and, for A:TLA, bending!
Characters facing each other across the battlefield (especially friends-turned-enemies)
Gift-giving, both literal and metaphorical
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
Kneeling and hand-kissing for pairings where I specify loyalty kink
Forehead kissing!
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.

Crossover Fandom

I'd love either crossovers or fusions, and either way, worldbuilding! Especially for crossovers, I'd adore seeing how characters end up in each other's worlds (or how the worlds co-exist).
I've talked about what I like about Harry Potter, Tolkien fandoms (and I'm including Smith of Wootton Major there, because the atmosphere is similar), and MCU in those fandom sections, but for the other fandoms, I'm going to just outline a little bit of what I like (with the exception the Odyssey; I've talked about that in the Erendis/Penelope section).
His Dark Materials:
- Heaven starting on Earth. I'm not fond of religion-bashing—agnostic myself, but live and let live and all that—but heaven starting on Earth is a wonderful truth, and I'd love any exploration of that.
- Grand, multiverse-scale wars, and people willing to die for their ideals are so very iddy for me!
Kingsman:
- I love the combination of over-the-top-crack and seriousness, and either/or works for me just fine.
- Smooth, suave agents kicking ass! I love the Bond-style sleekness and how very British it all is.
- I love the spy element, and missions, and what Kingsmen do, and basically the day-to-day running of the agency.
- Harry living and becoming Arthur. Need I say more?
- I'm also interested in the lives of the people behind the scenes, especially that of, say, female technicians or mechanics etc.
- The political side of Kingsman, kingmaking and other things we never get to see.

Erendis (Silmarillion)/Penelope (Odyssey)

The main thing I love about the tragic Greek hero is the concept of the fatal flaw, and I'm a little bit annoyed there isn't much exploration of that with women. I also adore tragedy in all its various forms.

The similarities here are obvious, and to be honest, I was thinking of something cracky with the two of them going fuck their husbands and banging, but if you could get a serious premise to work, that would be wonderful, too. The worldbuilding is slightly iffy here, and either handwaving or whatever elaborate explanation you come up with would be lovely!

And I love that the stories told about both of these women must have changed over time (in real life for Penelope, obviously, but also within Middle-earth for Erendis), so something about that, maybe? (And something about distortion, maybe, because after all, men have had the pen in their hands for the longest time)

Erendis (Silmarillion)/Queen of Faerie (Smith of Wootton Major)

Who was the Queen of Faerie? Was she part of Arda or from a completely different world? How did Erendis find her way to her? Are their spells and enchantments (and immortality!) involved? Or does Erendis stay of her own will?

I'd love something about the star of Faerie and Erendis being 'Lady of the Star-brow'—there's a very obvious connection there. Was she the first Starbrow? Or is she the Queen of Faerie, and these are selfcest shenanigans? And if so, how did she acquire her Queen-ness?

And the grim, dark images that Smith sees of warriors coming back from the Marches etc.—perhaps something about that? Does Erendis go out and fight? Or maybe her watching the warriors come back, or getting into arguments with the Queen, because do we really need to send the warriors out, if we ignore the dark will it ignore us right back?

Galadriel (Silmarillion)/Xaphania (His Dark Materials)
I specified Silm!Galadriel for this because I would adore Galadriel at the height of her rebellion against the Valar meeting Xaphania—perhaps one of the holes the subtle knife made was into the world of Middle-earth? What would they make of each other?

Their motivations and situations, while somewhat similar in some aspects, are completely different in others—would they clash? And perhaps some of Galadriel's maturing and growth was influenced by Xaphania?

And the divinity of Galadriel's world is very different from that of Xaphania's. I don't think that the Eru of Middle-earth meshes well with the HDM Almighty—something about that? Or something about the Valar and the differences (and similarities) between the Valar and the angels/Dust of HDM, and the fact that Galadriel's rebellion is much more morally contentious than Xaphania's? Or maybe something about their differing perspectives of divinity, both due to the worlds they live in and who they are?

Roxy Morton (Kingsman)/Nymphadora Tonks (Harry Potter), Roxy Morton (Kingsman)/Ginny Weasley (Harry Potter)

(And I wouldn't be opposed to threesomes either!)

I'm sure the Ministry of Magic must know of Kingsman, and maybe they need a liaison? Or is Roxy a witch from an old family who decides to do something different? I can imagine all kinds of wacky scenarios that lead to these two meeting, so go wild!

For either pairing, there would probably be some sort of age gap, so something playing with that, maybe? Or, Roxy is much posher than either Tonks or Ginny, and both Tonks and Ginny might instinctively dislike her because of that—maybe them clashing because of that, and possible hatesex?

Or perhaps Roxy's goals and the goals of witch(es) don't align, and maybe they're even fighting against each other? (And maybe they tie each other up for reasons?)

Or I'd love their differ to see their different fighting styles, and the two (or three!) ending up fighting ~~bad guys~~ together ~~and saving the world~~. Or just Kingsman-style shenanigans. Or snarking at each other and all sorts of banter. Or trying to impress each other and going ridiculously over-the-top. Or—you get my point, don't you?

Peggy Carter/Roxy Morton

Roxy already seems to have a certain level of training pre-Kingsman, so maybe Peggy trains her? Is Peggy a relative of hers (and all the incest potential in this!)? An old family friend? Or did Peggy meet a teenaged Roxy and take her under her wing? Play this any way you like, I'd just love to see Peggy teaching Roxy and/or just the two of them spending time together and getting on like a house on fire.

I love mentor/mentee dynamics, especially with the age gap between Peggy and Roxy being as large as it is! Skeevy or non-skeevy, whichever you prefer is fine with me, but either way, I'd love to see Roxy admiring Peggy, and all the power dynamics.

Or if you want to go AU, Arthur!Peggy. Lancelot having an affair with Arthur would be potential for aaaaall the intra-agency conflict, maybe? Or maybe they know each other from before Kingsman? Whether it's a fusion where the MCU 'verse doesn't exist or a crossover where Peggy, with her experience at S.H.I.E.L.D., takes over after V-Day is up to you.

Harry Potter

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.

Alice Longbottom/Lily Evans

I can imagine this going two ways—either them being girlfriends when they were in Hogwarts, or a canon divergence AU where Lily ends up with Alice instead of James. Something slice-of-life-y, perhaps? For the AU situation, I'd love to see what would change, and what wouldn't.
Or perhaps James dies but Lily doesn't? Lots of hurt/comfort would be lovely (but if you choose this situation, maybe at least a year or two between James' death and Lily getting together with Harry?).

If you choose one of the AU situations, Alice is an Auror, but we have no idea what Lily's career is, although it was probably something to do with Charms or Potions, so I'd love to see more about that! Or them working for the Order together, fighting Death Eater or on an intel-gathering mission? Or maybe them raising Harry together?

f you choose girlfriends at Hogwarts, I'd love to see them studying together or lazing around near the lake (and maybe some exhibitionism and Lily trying to maintain a Disillusionment Charm while orgasming). How do they get together? Was it mistletoe? Friends scheming? Or did one of them straight-up ask the other out on a date?

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?

Fleur Delacour/Gabrielle Delacour

Sistercest! 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.)

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Note: I have different likes for Agent Carter and MCU in general because a lot of my MCU likes aren't applicable to Agent Carter (and vice verse).

Agent Carter

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?

MCU

My favourite characters are Natasha, Steve, Wanda, Sharon, Fury, Sam, Pepper, Jane, Sif, and Hill, but honestly all the MCU characters are great fun and I'd love to see more of any of them (except the ones I've specified).
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.
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).

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.

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?

Miriam Fry/Peggy Carter

This is my tinier-than-rare nonexistent pairing of my heart, brought to you by the fact that I loved what we saw of Miriam Fry in Agent Carter—she's such a fun character. And I love older woman/younger woman pairings.

Ms. Fry seems to disapprove of Peggy (though not too much, given that she agreed have Peggy board with her), and Peggy also seems to view Ms. Fry's strict rules as kind of a nuisance; something about that, maybe? Maybe Ms. Fry gets embroiled in some of Peggy's espionage work accidentally, either in an AU or post-Season 2? Or maybe Ms. Fry is the one who protects Peggy in Season 2 instead of Angie, because Peggy might almost be more trouble than she's worth, but she's still her tenant, and she doesn't appreciate the SSR marching into her halls to look for her?

On the smutty side, I'd love to see Ms. Fry take Peggy over her knee or otherwise punish her because her tenant has committed an infarction of the rules (maybe something to do with Howard hiding out at Peggy's, and Howard charmed Ms. Fry because she was one of his former lovers into not kicking Peggy out but going with a 'lighter' punishment). (Or, if you want to go kinkier, The Griffith having all kinds of rituals that the girls have to follow, and maybe involving chastity belts, punishments and rewards and 'maintenance' etc.)

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 do that).

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.

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.
Rogue One-specific note: the point of Rogue One, for me, is that everyone dies (and, personally, I don't think there's anything left for any of them if they do live), so I'd prefer not to see this. No unrequested AUs from the movie at all, please? (I don't mind picking and choosing details from the book at all, though! That's what I love to do. And if I ask for AUs then they're more than fine.)
Also, there's a lot of moral grey area in Rogue One and I love that, so something about that? Especially how extremists are presented very neutrally and how the supposed 'good guys' do bad things, and, again, that's presented neutrally.
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/Toryn Farr

Junior officer and commander! Loyalty kink! 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, or kissing during a stolen moment?

How do Leia and Toryn meet? Does Toryn look up to Leia or to Bail? (And how was Toryn recruited to the Alliance anyway? Was Leia one of the initial recruiters? Was Toryn Leia's aide at some point, or a childhood friend?)

And Leia is a spy, pre-ANH, and Toryn seems to be a technician. I imagine they don't meet much, so maybe them enjoying each other's presence while they can? Or does Leia romance Toryn (or vice verse) while on Hoth?

Honestly, I just want more Toryn Farr and more Leia, and more of the two of them interacting and being together, and whatever way you write this, whether angsty or fluffy, is more than fine with me.

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.

Toryn Farr/Original Female Character(s)

I'd love to see more of Toryn's life in the Rebellion, with her girlfriend or wife, also part of the Rebellion, both on missions and on the Rebel base. And what do they do post-RotJ? Do one or both of them go into civil service? Do something different all together? Settle down and/or start a family?

I'd love to maybe see the two of them spending downtime together on the Rebel base, kissing or just reading or working together. Or maybe kissing under the fireworks after the Battle of Endor, holy shit we got out of this alive kissing. Or, if you go with the pilot, maybe her girlfriend/wife taking Toryn for a ride, the two of them crammed into a tiny cockpit and almost on top of each other? And maybe Toryn distracts her because she's wriggling so much.

Or maybe something more angsty—did Toryn leave someone behind when she joined the Rebellion? Did they have opposing political views, and did they split up because of this? Did they reunite after the Battle of Endor or not?

The Lord of the Rings

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 Ñoldor 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.

Daughter of Arwen/Daughter of Arwen

Incest kink! Smutty fic 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?

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?

Malbeth/Original Female Character(s)

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).

Or maybe, court politics and the role of seers in Dúnedain society? 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)?

Whoever her 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?

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?

The Silmarillion

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 Ñoldor 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.

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?

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?

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 Ñoldor (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 Ñoldor 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/Original Female Character(s)

I want Tar-Míriel to have a slice of happiness before—or after—everything goes wrong (or, alternately I'd love to see the horror of her situation magnified as well, because I'm evil like that and I love seeing my faves suffer!). Make the setting (and plot, if you're planning in the fic and plott-y direction) as dark as you like—the darker the better! And, of course, Tar-Míriel as the Witch King is welcome! (Dark fucked-up-ness for that would be wonderful!)

Maybe Tar-Míriel finding comfort in one of her handmaidens (or one of the palace staff)? Is the handmaiden of the Faithful (perhaps planted there by Elendil to help Tar-Míriel pass messages out of the palace?), is she a spy for Pharazôn who manipulates Míriel (and maybe perhaps eventually falls for her—not not, there's lots of room for fucked-up-ness either way), or is she indifferent to the current political situation? Or maybe the OFC is a noble, either one of the Faithful (either in Exile, or someone who's secretly Faithful), or loyal to Pharazôn?

I'd love to see either quiet moments Míriel shares with her lover (strolling in the garden? Míriel being undressed? Her lover kneeling for her?) or something more political, perhaps, dealing with the latter days of Númenor and the rise of Pharazôn to power, or something set during Míriel's youth.
