Hey! I'm Brigh [personal profile] withinadream / [archiveofourown.org profile] within_a_dream / [tumblr.com profile] withinadream27 / [twitter.com profile] withinadream27 !

Usually, the only public entries I have around are exchange letters. I'll grant access to anyone who sends a request, and I mostly post show/movie/book/theater reviews and fanfic nattering in access-locked posts.

I've written the most fic for Les Mis and the Benjamin January mysteries, but I have a very wide range of fandoms. I'm into a lot of fantasy, horror, historical fiction, and mysteries, in live-action movies and TV, books, theater, and podcasts. Pretty much the only things I don't do are animated canons and contemporary settings without genre elements.

If you're here for exchanges, I pretty much never leave fandoms, and will always welcome late treats for anything I've requested at any point!

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’m [archiveofourown.org profile] within_a_dream on AO3 and I have a tag of previous letters on this journal if you want to take a look at some of my previous requests.

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’ve requested fic and art for all of my fandoms. I am [archiveofourown.org profile] within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! I have requested both fic and art for all fandoms.

I'm going a little sparse on my tag requests because for most of my character noms, I don't really have specific plots I want to see, I would just love any and all fanworks where my chosen characters are trans! So do feel free to go wild. I don't have strong pronoun preferences for any of my requests, although if you're going for a neutral pronoun I do slightly prefer singular they.

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! Please feel free to include anything that isn't in my DNWs, I'm into pretty much anything when it comes to gore. Any ships/friendships and any additional characters are also welcome! I'm requesting fic or art for all fandoms.

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I'm within_a_dream on AO3 and am requesting fic and art for all requests. I am [archiveofourown.org profile] within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests!

In general, please feel free to include any kinks or tropes not in my DNWs (yes even the really weird ones, I have unusually broad interests), and include any ships in addition to my requested characters/ships, including adding characters to my requested ships. Crossovers are also welcome – I've read all of KJC's books and I'm familiar with many other fandoms!

Trans characters, trans headcanons, and character-is-trans AUs always welcome. I enjoy aromantic, no-romo, friends-with benefits takes on ships and characters with unusual or nontypical attitudes towards romance (although I prefer for historical characters not to explicitly use the word aromantic). I’m also down for any amount of character death, graphic violence, and/or noncon.

Don’t feel bound to my prompts if none of them catch your interest – I’ll be happy with anything about my ships that doesn’t contain my DNWs! Length of prompts is 0% an indication of what I want more and 100% just a function of what ships I’ve requested before/have previous prompts to pull from.


DNWs

DNWs

  • Unrequested pregnancy, childbirth, oviposition - Canonical pregnancy is fine, as is pregnancy I prompted for

  • Trans characters having PIV sex - other types of vaginal penetration or uses of dicks are fine!

  • Explicit monogamy - I'm fine with my two-person ships being the only ship in the work, and I don't need anyone to be explicitly poly, I just don't want any of the characters in them explicitly saying they'll only ever love each other or that they're not poly

  • No-homophobia AUs of historical settings

  • Breaking up canon ships, canon ships cheating on each other - my preferred way to handle canon ships for my noncanon ship requests is to either have it be an open relationship or simply not mentioning the canon ship/s

  • Unrequested noncon with a ship member as the perpetrator - past or onscreen noncon with an OC, or fuck-or-die/etc between my requested ships are always fine, as is one character being possessed and the thing doing the possessing using their body to noncon the other ship member/s

  • AUs I DNW: Modern/mundane AUs, soulmate AUs (soulbonds are welcome!), BDSM AUs (regular BDSM is fine, I just don’t want the engrained/biological dom/sub roles), omegaverse


Unnecessarily long list of likes, sorted by theme:

General Likes

  • I love all tenses and POVs!

  • Fic about canonical children, Accidental Child Acquisition of OC children (especially for characters who are not at all parental and have no idea what to do with kids)

  • Casefic, with a loose definition of "case" that encompasses mysteries for mystery fandoms, paranormal investigations for fantasy canons, espionage for spy canons, etc (or mix it up and make the spies face something supernatural, the wizards solve a murder, etc!)

  • Ghost stories! Particular favorites include the "ghostly hitchhiker" urban legend and the setup where characters need to spend the night in a haunted house for Reasons

  • Recovery or aftermath – of canonical traumatic events or noncanonical torture, rape, murder attempts, etc

  • Whump, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort

  • 5+1 fics

  • Epistolary fic

  • Always-a-woman AUs (cis or trans women welcome!)

  • Trans headcanons, trans characters, character-is-trans AUs

  • Aromantic, noromo, etc relationships

  • Internal or external homophobia


Art Likes
  • I love any art styles and media!

  • Ships sharing each other’s clothes

  • Disheveled characters (whether from fights or sex or anything else)

  • Clothing/costume porn

  • Clothed/unclothed, or discrepancies in level of dress, for shippy art

  • Limited color palettes

  • Blood, bruises, marks, scars

  • Casual physical contact



Smut Likes
  • Feel free to include any of your favorite kinks if you are writing or drawing me smut! My only squicks are in my DNWs – anything else goes.
  • Any and all sex acts (vaginal, anal, oral, manual, frottage, intercrural, fisting, double penetration, sounding, etc) are great! I have no top/bottom or dom/sub preferences.

  • My favorite words for genitals are cock and cunt, but I have no objections to whatever you’d like to use

  • Anal sex for everyone, but especially m/f and f/f anal

  • Pretty much anything under the BDSM umbrella. I am especially into unnegotiated or undernegotiated kink, and characters falling into kinky dynamics or things they enjoy (especially with the younger characters). I have no dom/sub preferences

  • I would love noncon for any of my requested characters or fandoms – if you want to know more about what I like in dubcon or noncon I have a general list of kinks and tropes here in my Consent Issues letter. I generally prefer noncon with an OC or canonical antagonist as the rapist, and "fuck or die" setups between my requested characters are also great!

  • Roleplay – I am into both serious roleplay and goofy scenarios that the characters can’t quite take seriously, and I am especially fond of rape roleplay/consensual non-consent

  • Group sex, orgies, and gangbangs

  • Gunplay, especially fucking someone with a gun

  • Watersports – I am mostly into it for humiliation or marking aspects, and am neutral about drinking piss (and would prefer if any drinking happens it’s someone having their mouth pissed in directly rather than just drinking a glass of pee/etc)


Whump Likes
  • For sickfic, I’m good with anything from the common cold to deadly diseases. Just make my requested hurt character/s miserable and I will be happy! Historically-accurate medical care for my historical canons is very welcome, but not necessary

  • Torture – I’m especially fond of beatings, whipping, and broken bones

  • Fevers, especially making confessions of emotion while feverish and not thinking clearly

  • Characters feeling guilty about needing care

  • Characters not wanting to stop and rest despite their injuries and/or mental state

  • Anxiety or panic attacks




Rape/Noncon/Rape Recovery Likes
  • Graphic/onscreen noncon is very welcome, as is a gift that only includes the aftermath and/or recovery!

  • Any aggressor/victim gender combos are great!

  • You know how so many KJC characters have horrible older brothers and/or fathers? Just feel free to add sexual abuse and/or rape to any of those relationships

  • Characters blaming themselves for the rape

  • Characters hiding the rape from their friends/loved ones until they accidentally reveal it by completely breaking down

  • I am totally down for aroused or unaroused victims

  • Aggressors praising the victims, especially in a condescending way

  • Aggressors cutting or branding words into the victim, especially insults or marks of property

  • Bruises, cuts, blood (especially bleeding from the nose or mouth), visible injuries

  • Forced bestiality (with the victim being penetrated)

  • Victims killing their aggressor/s during or after the rape


Society of Gentlemen

SoG prompts

Solo: Richard Vane's Mother

I accidentally gave myself so many emotions about Richard's mom on my latest Society of Gentlemen reread and I am going to make this everyone's problem. Like, she was saddled with an abusive husband, was imprisoned in an isolated house after fighting back against him, and then she died a presumably horrible death of cancer?? And the complicated emotions Richard has about her and her death are so juicy. (She was never quiet about her hatred of her children!! But!! She saved all of his letters!!)

First off, if you just want to write/draw something tragic and canon-compliant, please feel free. Art-specific prompt: I would love to see a formal portrait of her, not least so I can adopt your appearance headcanons as my own as I write my own fic about her.

The rest of the ideas are just variations on, what if she got to be happy? Give her a friend, or a girlfriend, or a lover. Have her survive and reconnect with Richard. Have her meet Cyprian as a kind of counterpoint to Richard meeting David's mom.

Hyperspecific prompt that I release into the wild and which you may take all of, part of, or none of as you so choose: what if in a parallel to Richard, she falls in love with her lady's maid or companion or someone similar? And the two of them fuck off to Europe after an inheritance or windfall makes them somewhat financially independent? And then she hears about Harry's return to the family and this spurs her to return home to London? And she and Richard have an awkward and tentative reconnection while both are trying to hide their queer identity and relationship from each other?

Will Quex/Jonathan Shakespeare

I so desperately want backstory fic for these two. How did they meet? How did they fall in love? How did they end up running Quex’s? What was Will’s life like between leaving his family and the beginning of the books? Dropping some treats and pspspsing at those of us who love to write novellas (or fics of any length) about the love stories of secondary characters in the books...

Will and/or Jon POV on the events of the books would be very fun. I love that they’re in the background snarking about the gentlemen and occasionally helping Silas and David, and I’d love to see any of the big (or small) events of SoG through their eyes

So I love threesomes and I love that Will and Jon are canonically into threesomes, and I would love to see more smut about this, whether that’s with Cyprian, with Silas (+/- Dom), or with other characters or OCs of your choice (feel free to bring in some crossover characters for porn purposes as well! I’ve read all of KJC’s other books if any of her characters strike your fancy, but I’m down for literally any fandom for this crossover prompt, even if I haven’t heard of it)

I’d also really love smut of the two of them alone!

Really, I just want more fic about these two somewhat minor characters who have stolen my heart. So if you have a Will & Jon story you’ve been dying to tell, hit me with it and I will love it.

Harry Vane & Verona Vane

I love that they end up friends by the end of the book! I love that Harry lends Verona feminist literature! I want to see more of them hanging out post-canon! I would also love to see Verona finding out about Harry and Julius' relationship and being supportive (or perhaps realizing she's queer herself).

I also would love an AU where Harry and Verona actually get married in a marriage-of-convenience way. They can team up to torment Gideon, it would be great. They are super indiscreet about their affairs but refuse to acknowledge this to Gideon. Verona has a baby who looks just like Rawlings and Harry's like, "Oh, he takes after my mother!" I have this scene in my head of Verona hearing that Richard objects to infidelity and cornering him to give him this whole speech (drawn from the feminist works of Euphemia Gordon) about how a marriage is what its participants define it to be, and if a woman were to agree to marry someone and consent to that someone keeping his lover, then who's being hurt here? And Harry's just hiding in the corner giving her a thumbs up.

Also totally down for Harry/Verona in a fuckbuddies kinda way, with or without a marriage of convenience AU

Julius Norreys/Edward Rawling/Harry Vane/Verona Vane

So this was spawned by the aforementioned concept of a Harry/Verona marriage of convenience AU, but it would still be fun in other settings! I just love the idea of Harry and Verona ending up attracted to each other after they both no longer have to hide their lovers, and/or Rawling ending up attracted to Harry and/or Julius or vice versa, and ending up having a foursome that could be really awkward or could work weirdly well fueled solely by Harry's charm.


Band Sinister

Band Sinister prompts

Lord Corvin/Mr Dent (Band Sinister)

So there’s an excerpt of a potential Corvin novel on the KJC Facebook group that has haunted me with a desire for fic since I read it. If you don’t have access, no worries, the important bit is that it’s set post-Band Sinister and contains John Raven telling Corvin that he absolutely should not fuck the curate of Wrayton Magna and Corvin being like “but what if I fuck him anyway~”. Corvin’s description of the curate: The new curate’s not bad, in a gloomy sort of way. A face like funereal architecture of the more magnificent sort. I say this as a compliment, you understand. What if this curate...was Mr. Dent... Please give me this story! If you want my even more niche thoughts, I think it would be very fun if Dent had a previous gay relationship that fell apart because he’s aromantic and couldn’t reciprocate his lover’s romantic feelings, and then meets Corvin and has his horizons of what relationships can be broadened (and also stops hating himself for not being able to be what the past lover wanted/needed). If you roll with the aro4aro subprompt, it could add some interesting flavor for Dent agreeing to marry Amanda on Aunt Beatrice’s say-so. Dent joining in on some Murder gatherings and Guy and/or Amanda recognizing him would be very fun, as would Dent standing up to and/or scandalizing Beatrice on Corvin’s urging/with Corvin’s support.

Amanda Frisby/Any Member(s) of the Murder Except Guy Frisby

I just want Amanda to get to join the polycule and slut it up! I think it would be fun if she commandeered her friends to block out scenes from her latest novel-in-progress, and also if she started writing erotica and borrowing Murder members for more hands-on sex experience. I do love Amanda/David, but I also think an AU where she ends up marrying a different Murder member would be delightful (my first thought is thoroughly scandalizing everyone by marrying Corvin, after assuring both him and Guy that she expects neither love nor fidelity out of this, but I'm down for anyone). I'm requesting the non-incestuous version of the tag bc I don't actively ship Guy/Amanda, but I don't mind them being present at the same orgies/sex parties, having the same lover/s, or hearing about each other's sex lives.


Doomsday Books

Doomsday prompts

Berengaria d'Aumesty & Rufus d'Aumesty, Fulk d'Aumesty & Rufus d'Aumesty, Odo d'Aumesty & Rufus d'Aumesty

Okay so I love how when faced with the horrible D’Aumesty clan, Rufus sets about figuring out how to get along with his cousins, and I want to see his post-canon interactions with one, two, or all three of them! Meeting Odo’s fiancee, working with Fulk on the estate (listen I am such a slut for estate maintenance), talking art with Berengaria, or anything else you can think of! I'm also totally down for any canon ships happening alongside the cousin-bonding, and I am very soft for Rufus cautiously telling his cousins about him and Luke (or one or more of the cousins figuring it out on their own) and everyone accepting him.

Laura Colefax/Odo d'Aumesty

I ended this series so unexpectedly fond of Odo, and I want to see his life post-canon!. Based on absolutely nothing, I assume Laura and her father have a good relationship, and I’d love to see Odo’s feelings about joining like, an actually functional and loving family. I want to see the two of them nerding out about history together. I am totally down for smut and would especially love to see them doing some incredibly nerdy and intricate roleplay (possibly with one of them getting derailed correcting the other on historical inaccuracies), or something genderfucky with Odo roleplaying as a woman and/or Laura as a man. Would love to see Laura being just as much of a weirdo (affectionate) as Odo.


Will Darling Adventures

WDA prompts

Maisie Jones/Phoebe Stephens-Prince & Barbara Secretan (Lady Chingford), Maisie Jones/Phoebe Stephens-Prince/Barbara Secretan (Lady Chingford)

Catch me falling for yet another extremely minor woman! I was so thrilled to see Babs get a bit of screen time in This Lord's Father and I desperately want to see her further integration into the extended Secretan family! I'm also totally down for her to interact with Will and Kim but I feel like she and Maisie and Phoebe would have fun together. Does Barbara get involved in some Private Bureau business? Do they shit-talk Chingford together? Does Maisie make her a dress? Do they have wild gay threesomes, possibly whilst kinking on cuckolding Chingford? Do you have another vision for these relationships? Go wild!


The Duke At Hazard

Duke at Hazard prompts

Cassian Crosse/Daizell Charnage

I just want to see more of them together after their somewhat-of-a-whirlwind romance! Especially more of them living and being together when Cassian is in his "real" identity. Daizell figuring out what he wants his new life to look like! Cassian learning to assert his own desires more around his family/society and also possibly fumbling into being a rich jerk to Daizell more and having to fix that! More sex, whether it's more somnophilia or vanilla or praise kink or pony play or something else entirely! (Would you like…to create the work I have plotted out but not managed to write where Cassian offers himself up for free use for Daizell and Hart and Robin and anyone else you'd like at Lady Wintour's hell after-hours...)

Solo: Martin Nichols (John Martin), Cassian Crosse/Daizell Charnage & Martin Nichols (John Martin), Cassian Crosse/Daizell Charnage/Martin Nichols (John Martin)

I just want more Martin! Love this traumatized asshole, love that he gets a happy ending and a new job at the end, would love to see literally anything you would like to create about him. Loved that Martin was determined to Git Gud at valet-ing as soon as Cassian offered him the job, and would love to see more of that. I am also a sucker for a rape/trauma recovery story, and would love to see something along those lines (whether as gen or as part of a shipfic, for Cassian/Daizell/Martin or Martin/OC).

Thank you for writing for me! I am [archiveofourown.org profile] within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! Please feel free to include anything I don’t DNW – I have very few kink/smut turnoffs (and they’re all in my DNWs), I’ll enjoy pretty much every plot or trope that you feel goes along with my requested characters, and I’m fine with any ships or friendships involving my requested characters. Length of prompts is not a reflection of which fandoms I want more! I have treats enabled and am happy to receive them.

I have requested fic for all fandoms and art for Baldur’s Gate, Leverage, Bridgerton, and Downton Abbey. I welcome art treats for any of my requested fandoms, but I felt the other fandoms had freeforms that would be difficult to convey in a single piece of art.
DNWs

  • Non-canon pregnancy

  • Trans characters having PIV sex (other vaginal penetration, use of penises, post-bottom-surgery-or-magical-equivalent PIV are all fine!)

  • AUs I DNW: Modern/mundane AUs, omegaverse, BDSM AU, soulmate AUs (soulbonds are fine!), no-homophobia AUs for settings that in canon have homophobia

General Likes

9-1-1

Fanfic, Solo: Eddie Diaz


Tags: Sexuality Realization Due To A Friend Coming Out

Recent episodes have renewed my craving for gay Eddie - I'm cool with him being another sexuality as well for this prompt, but I'm especially fond of him realizing he's gay when he and Buck talk about Buck's bisexuality and he realizes that a) he, much like Buck, has been assuming that all guys think about how attractive other guys are and that is not the case, and b) unlike Buck, he's not actually sure he's like, sexually attracted to women. (Please don't demonize his past girlfriends though! I'd prefer a take where they were decent people, Eddie's just coming to some realizations about himself and how he feels about women.) Possibly this could include Eddie asking questions about Buck's sexuality that initially come across as biphobic, but are really him coming to a realization about his own feelings about his relationships with women. Gen or Eddie/any male character/s are great! (Please don't bash Tommy if you end up doing Buck/Eddie sans Tommy though!)

The Gilded Age (TV 2022)

Fanfic, Gladys Russell & Oscar van Rhijn (Gilded Age)

Tags: lavender marriage

So I just desperately want a canon-divergence AU where Gladys realizes she’s a lesbian and she and Oscar get married so they can both live their dream gay lives in NYC without Gladys’s mom stifling her. Does Gladys end up saying something revealing to Oscar when he’s courting her? Does Oscar just have good gaydar? Does Oscar have an attack of conscience and come out to Gladys, and she's like, "oh, that's an option? I think....I might be attracted to women" and now Oscar has accidentally made himself responsible for shepherding Gladys through her gay awakening? Does Gladys come out to her dad and he decides that he’s going to find his daughter the perfect gay husband if it’s the last thing he does? Do you have another idea for how this marriage happens? Go wild, I just lovelovelove lavender marriages and want anything that runs with this premise.

Downton Abbey

Fanfic/Fanart, Solo: Thomas Barrow (Downton Abbey), Thomas Barrow/Edward Courtenay (Downton Abbey), Thomas Barrow/Guy Dexter (Downton Abbey), Thomas Barrow/Original Male Character (Downton Abbey)

Tags: Finding Queer Community, Internalized Homophobia, Queer Character Escapes Traumatic Past and Finds Friends

I would just really love to see Thomas find a queer community and friends, and/or a boyfriend. You can jump off the other gay characters he meets in either of the movies, or OCs, or anything else you’d like! I would also love to see him get to go to gay clubs, bars, gathering places, etc. You're welcome to ship Thomas with other men as well, with a few exceptions: I'm not big on Thomas/Jimmy and I don't want Thomas and the Duke getting back together after they break up. If you go shippy, I especially love Thomas learning to let himself be loved, and the shock of having a relationship with someone who puts him first and cares about him.

Original Work

Fanfic, Historical Gay Man & Historical Lesbian (OW)

So I really love lavender marriages. Feel free to include m/m and f/f ships in addition to the gen pairing here, or m/nb or f/nb ships, or have either of the characters be nonbinary rather than a man or a woman, the key thing is just that I want the married couple to not be attracted to each other and to pass as an m/f marriage in a homophobic environment. I'd especially love it if they're long-term friends who decide on a marriage. Literally any historical era and country is great with me - I love learning about people's favorite historical periods! If you're stuck on a decision, I like Regency and medieval eras, but really, anything is great.

Fanfic/Fanart, Alec Hardison/Parker (Leverage)Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer (Leverage)Sophie Devereaux & Alec Hardison & Parker & Eliot Spencer (Leverage)

Tags: Everyone is Trans

I am just really in love with the various headcanons I've seen about the Leverage team being trans. I've requested relationship tags that include all the characters I especially love to see as trans, but feel free to include any other characters (in platonic or romantic/sexual contexts) from OG Leverage or Redemption, cis or trans. I'd prefer the characters to be the genders they are in canon (so like, Alec & Eliot as trans men, Sophie & Parker as trans women) or nonbinary, rather than having their canon gender be their ASAB. You can do an origin story for any of the characters' transitions, a work where they're doing canon-typical heists and incidentally everyone is trans, or anything in between! Perhaps they're working a case involving trans people being wronged or conned, if you want a plot idea - scammy HRT service, transphobic business, etc. But really just run with Leverage + trans and I will love it!

Band Sinister – KJ Charles

Fanfic, Lord Corvin/Mr. Dent, Lord Corvin/Original Country Vicar

Lord Corvin/Country Curate – so there’s an excerpt of a potential Corvin novel on the KJC Facebook group that has haunted me with a desire for fic since I read it. If you don’t have access, no worries, the important bit is that it’s set post-Band Sinister and contains John Raven telling Corvin that he absolutely should not fuck the curate of Wrayton Magna and Corvin being like “but what if I fuck him anyway~”. Corvin’s description of the curate: The new curate’s not bad, in a gloomy sort of way. A face like funereal architecture of the more magnificent sort. I say this as a compliment, you understand. Please give me this story! If you want my even more niche thoughts, I think it would be very fun if the curate had a previous gay relationship that fell apart because he’s aromantic and couldn’t reciprocate his lover’s romantic feelings, and then meets Corvin and has his horizons of what relationships can be broadened (and also stops hating himself for not being able to be what the past lover wanted/needed).

Lord Corvin/Mr. Dent – Basically just take my Corvin/Country Curate prompt but make it Mr. Dent. Idk if it’s what was intended, but the description of a gloomy-looking curate sounded familiar, and if you roll with the aro4aro subprompt, it could add some interesting flavor for Dent agreeing to marry Amanda on Aunt Beatrice’s say-so. Dent joining in on some Murder gatherings and Guy and/or Amanda recognizing him would be very fun, as would Dent standing up to and/or scandalizing Beatrice on Corvin’s urging/with Corvin’s support.

Baldur’s Gate

Fanfic, Solo: Astarion (Baldur's Gate), Solo: Gale (Baldur's Gate), Solo: Halsin (Baldur's Gate), Solo: Karlach (Baldur's Gate), Solo: Lae'zel (Baldur's Gate), Solo: Shadowheart (Baldur's Gate), Solo: Wyll Ravengard (Baldur's Gate)

Tags: Magic Used as a Transition Aid

I really love seeing what transition can look like in fantasy universes, and I would love to see any or all of my requested characters as trans (no preference as to what gender they are in your fanwork!) Magic opening up more granular or possibly even non-human options for body mods and transition is great, looks at how different cultures we see in the game view transition is great, characters realizing they're trans is great, seeing the actual use of magic as the full plot of the work is great!

Fandom-specific DNW:

Mystra portrayed as grooming Gale or having started their relationship when he was underage (I love Mystra/Gale as a toxic/bad relationship otherwise! And other underage sex or characters being groomed is welcome too.)

Bridgerton (TV)

Fanfic/Fanart, Simon Basset/Daphne Bridgerton

Tags: Trans Male Character

So first off - what if Simon is a trans man? I've been toying with this AU since watching the first season. I love the extra dimension it would add to Simon insisting he'll never marry, and what it might do to the Simon/Daphne plot. Perhaps the whole marriage thing happens without Simon and Daphne having a chance to talk about his gender, or he doesn't tell her, and she has no idea that he's any different from cis men due to her extreme naivete; or perhaps he tells her he's trans, but again due to her extreme naivete, she doesn't realize exactly what that means and he doesn't realize that she doesn't realize until she tearfully tells him she thinks she's infertile.

And if you would prefer Daphne as trans - Daphne, as the perfect woman who everyone else aspires to be, realizing "she's" actually a man is a very compelling story to me, and I'd love to see how he comes to this realization and where he goes from there. Social transition would be pretty impossible with how well-known the couple is, so maybe they move off to a foreign country where Daphne can live as he pleases? Maybe Daphne is fine appearing in girlmode for a few social engagements and living how he wants at home otherwise? If you want to do t4t Simon/Daphne, Simon coming out to Daphne being Daphne's point of gender realization would be very fun.

Band Sinister – KJ Charles

Fanfic, Lord Corvin/Any Character

Another Corvin prompt - I just want to see more of him having sexy aromantic fun! Any canon character, OC, or crossover character (either from a canon set around Band Sinister's era or transplanted to Band Sinister's setting) is great. Corvin agreeing to "ruin" someone as we hear mentioned in canon would be delightful, Corvin joining in for sex with either of the Frisbys' canon relationships is great, literally anything else is great too! Corvin is truly Living The Dream, and I just want to see anything you want to write about it!

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’m within_a_dream on AO3, and I have a tag of previous letters if you’d like to scope out things I’ve requested previously. I’m requesting fic and art for all songs/canons.

Hi! I'm [archiveofourown.org profile] within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! Unlike most exchanges, I'm requesting fic only for this exchange (except for Baldur's Gate, where I'm also requesting art). I am totally open to art treats, but all my freeforms are very plot-oriented so for ease of matching I'm requesting only fic for my main gift. (If these prompts seem familiar, this is the same letter/requests as my 2023 Stork Swap sign-up, just with BG3 and one extra tag in my first Bridgerton section added!

DNW

  • Omegaverse

  • Unrequested death of characters in my requested ships

  • My requested pregnant men as trans men

  • Pregnant men being referred to as "mom" or other feminine terms

  • Modern/mundane AU

Opting into: abortions, miscarriages, stillbirths. Basically just don't kill a baby who's already been born and onscreen alive and we're good! Past infant or child deaths are also welcome (and would make sense with some of my canons, historical figures being worried about the ways they've seen other infants die), it's just current infants I don't want to die. I'm also totally down for my pregnant characters choosing to continue to term, and also discussing abortion but in the end deciding to continue to term.

I'm also very flexible ship-wise. Feel free to include any background ships, and in many cases I'm fine with you adding more characters to a ship (I'll clarify in those letter segments). Canon ships are always fine to include.

Pregnancy Likes

  • Characters in denial about being pregnant

  • Characters who don't realize they're pregnant for a long time, especially if the reason is that they thought pregnancy was impossible for them

  • Mpreg in a universe where mpreg isn't thought of as a possibility

  • Mpreg that doesn’t go into detail about the physical aspects of childbirth

  • Conflicted feelings about the pregnancy, especially when the pregnancy was the result of a rape

  • Characters who are conflicted about their pregnancy miscarrying and then having conflicting feelings about the miscarriage as well

  • Characters considering abortion, or characters getting abortions

  • Baby fic/kidfic – I opt into kids older than infant-age too!



The Old Guard – Andy Forced Pregnancy

Ships:

  • Pregnant Andy & Booker & Joe & Nicky & Nile (TOG Movie)

  • Pregnant Andy/Booker/Joe/Nicky/Nile (TOG Movie)

Feel free to also include Copley in either the platonic or romantic ship, and leave Booker out if you prefer to keep his exile (although I do like the resonance of him getting to come back and help deal with a new child after the horrible time he had with his children).

Tags

  • Forced Pregnancy as Part of Science Experimentation

  • Impregnated During Captivity and Must Escape While Pregnant

My main thought here is – so, Andy has lost her immortality during the time Merrick has the team captive. What if that captivity lasts a little longer, and Andy's loss of immortality also brings with it a return of fertility? What if, either through some very scientific IVF or less-scientific rape or fuck-or-die with her teammates (assuming for porn reasons that they are able to make immortal semen non-sterile), Andy gets pregnant? And then, obviously, she kicks ass and escapes, and then is left to deal with the pregnancy.

Very interested in the complex emotions that this pregnancy might cause. On the one hand, this is something Merrick (or your choice of evil impregnating scientist, should you wish to set the fic sometime else) did to her, a memory of being powerless for the first time in centuries. On the other hand, Andy's blood family has been dead for millennia. Her culture has been dead for millennia. What would it mean to her to have a child of her own after all this time, after long ago writing it out as impossible? (What would it mean to Andy to sing a baby a lullaby in a language that she long ago thought she'd forgotten every word of?) And the anxiety of not knowing if the experimental conception also did something strange to the baby's aging or the baby's anything else.

I'm also very into the logistics of the pregnancy. They've got Copley to help cover up medical acquisitions and visits, but surely there's only so much he can do. And of the characters, Nile and Copley would be the only ones who have any sort of knowledge of modern obstetrics and childbirth, and I'd love to see Andy making a birth plan (although I'm sure she'd flat out refuse to call it "making a birth plan"). I have no justification for how this would happen, but Andy attending pre-birth classes (possibly with a different person in tow each time) and reacting to modern attitudes toward and expectations of pregnancy has the potential to be hilarious. (Outsider POV on all of the other class members trying to figure out what's up with Andy, perhaps?)

The Old Guard – Baby Shenanigans

These ships and prompts can be combined with the pregnant Andy scenarios above for after the baby is born, or done with a baby acquired elsewhere! (I would prefer that no other immortals get pregnant.)

Ships:

  • Andy & Booker & Joe & Nicky & Nile & Original Baby (TOG Movie)

  • Andy/Booker/Joe/Nicky/Nile & Original Baby

Tags

  • Characters Argue About Proper Infant Care – I am especially enamored with this because I assume our cast has had little to no reason to look into advances in cultural norms and knowledge about infant care since they became immortal, so we’ve got an incredibly wide range of historical ideas about how best to care for a baby

  • Caring For Child While Fighting Off Bad Guys – I just want to see the gang having to combine fighting off bad guys with protecting a baby/young kid (whether those bad guys are after the baby specifically, or they’re attacked for other reasons while they’ve also got a baby/kid in tow.


Bridgerton – Daphne in Disgrace
Ships:

  • Simon Basset/Daphne Bridgerton pregnant with someone else's baby (Bridgerton) – I just think it would be fun (for me) and traumatizing (for Daphne) if she gets pregnant during her season, and Simon proposes to save her virtue. It could be the result of rape (Nigel Berbrooke’s assault goes further? Anthony’s possessiveness takes a dark turn? Anthony or anyone else is able to coerce her into sex because she doesn’t know what they’re doing is actually sex?), an uncharacteristic fling, or any other ideas you have. This could be fun in conjunction with Simon’s reluctance to replicate his father’s abuse – he’s convinced he doesn’t have to care about this baby, and if he’s not its father he won’t run any risk of abusing it, only to find himself falling for the baby. I also think it would be a fun AU if one of the reasons Simon is so insistent on not marrying and having children is that he’s a trans man, and so marrying an already-pregnant wife is convenient.

Tags:

  • Pregnancy Serves as Reminder of Bad Situation That Caused It

  • A helps B get an abortion – I could especially see Simon bringing up abortion and Daphne not even having realized that was an option

  • First time parenting brings up memories of traumatic childhood

  • Heightened Sex Drive During Pregnancy – I’d love to see the canon scenario of Simon and Daphne fucking like rabbits after their marriage, except this time Daphne is already pregnant

  • Rape flashbacks while breastfeeding baby – I know I didn’t technically request Simon/Daphne & Baby, but I couldn’t resist the angst of this tag. I could see Daphne hating herself for reacting like this, thinking she’s a failure for not being able to handle this basic part of motherhood


Bridgerton – Daphne/Simon/Other

Ships:

  • Simon Basset/Pregnant Daphne Bridgerton/Creator's Choice of Male Character (Bridgerton)

Tags:

  • Couple Brings in Third For Conception Purposes

Maybe Simon can’t be convinced to continue his family line, but he and Daphne decide that a baby with secret non-Simon paternity would be fitting revenge. Maybe Simon is a trans man (listen I think it would be a fun AU in terms of his insistence on never marrying!) and so they need someone else to knock Daphne up. Maybe Daphne and Anthony have been having a torrid incestuous affair and it works very well for Simon to let Anthony father his child. Or maybe you have another scenario in mind! Go wild, I’m open to anything.

Bridgerton – Marina

Ships:

  • Daphne Bridgerton & Pregnant Marina Thompson (Bridgerton), Daphne Bridgerton/Pregnant Marina Thompson (Bridgerton) – ever since I first watched the show I’ve been thinking about an AU where Daphne invites Marina to stay with her until after the baby is born in order to hide her pregnancy from the ton, with the condition of abandoning her pursuit of Colin. Perhaps they could become friends, or perhaps they could fall for each other (especially in the period where Simon and Daphne are at odds)

  • Simon Basset/Daphne Bridgerton/Pregnant Marina Thompson (Bridgerton) – and of course I have to throw Simon into the mix! I’m down for a Daphne-centered V or a triad

Tags:

  • Concealing Pregnancy to Pass Baby Off As Adopted Parents' Bio Baby – Simon doesn’t want to father a child, Marina has a child she doesn’t want, they can just pretend Daphne’s gone into seclusion for her pregnancy and everything works out! (YMMV on how well everything will work out.)

  • Falling For The People Who Are Adopting Your Baby

  • A helps B get an abortion – or maybe Daphne or Simon are able to use their connections to help Marina get a safe (or you know, as safe as Regency medical care allows) abortion

The Witcher

Ships:

  • Geralt of Rivia/Pregnant Jaskier/Yennefer of Vengerberg (Witcher TV)

  • Pregnant Jaskier/Yennefer of Vengerberg (Witcher TV)

Tags:

  • Wrong Character Pregnant After Fertility Ritual

Yennefer has found a ritual that she’s sure will allow her to conceive, she just needs a fertile man and Jaskier is close at hand. And well, it works, but not in the way either of them intended. (As for the OT3, Geralt can be part of the ritual, part of a pre-existing relationship, or a relationship starts after Jaskier gets pregnant.) I”m especially into this in a universe where mpreg is rare or impossible – perhaps Yennefer or Geralt have seen it during their lives, but Jaskier had never thought of it as a possibility.

The Queen’s Thief

(My ship requests are mostly from previous letters and don’t mention the pregnancy, I’ve tried to elaborate more on theme-specific aspects in the tags section.)

Ships:

  • Pregnant Attolia/Eugenides (Queen's Thief) – I’d really love to see more of Attolia’s canonical pregnancies from her or Gen’s POV, since we observe them at a remove in canon. Or a future pregnancy!

  • Pregnant Attolia/Eugenides/Eddis/Sophos (Queen's Thief) - Return of the Thief made me desperately want all of the monarchs in a poly relationship. Perhaps something with Attolia, Eddis, and Sophos back home worrying about Gen, or them all reuniting after their victory. I also really love the idea that they can be themselves rather than their ruler identities around each other. I am also totally open to Eddis as well as Attolia being pregnant!

  • Pregnant Attolia & Eddis (Queen's Thief) – I always want to see more of these two interacting, and I feel like during pregnancy Attolia might need someone to turn to who at least conceptually understands the struggles of monarchy and pregnancy in a way her husband won’t. Attolia/Eddis also welcome!

  • Pregnant Attolia/Eugenides/Relius (Queen's Thief) - The platonic relationship we see in the books already fascinates me (the loyalty kink! The intersection of personal and political relationships!), and I’m so here for making it explicitly romantic. I’m especially interested in Relius’s imprisonment and the aftermath, but I’d also be into pre-canon Irene/Relius that grows to incorporate Eugenides (as an Irene-centered V or a triad), or pretty much anything involving this ship. I’m also really into the mess that results from tangling duties as a monarch with personal feelings.

  • Pregnant Attolia/Eugenides/Costis Ormentiedes (Queen's Thief) – I love works that play with how Costis’s views of Attolia and Eugenides change as they end up in a relationship. We see his disdain for the king change to respect over the course of King of Attolia, and I’d love to see how a relationship would play into that. And as for Attolia, Costis basically worships her, and I’d love to see how that worship fades into a more human respect and love.

Tags:

  • Miscarriage Hurt/Comfort – I just really want more works with hurt/comfort for Attolia’s canonical miscarriage, the misery of which must have been amplified by her responsibilities (and existence in the public eye) as queen and need for an heir.

  • Polyship Enjoys PIV Without Fears of Unwanted Paternity While One Member is Pregnant – if you’ve seen any of my prior Queen’s Thief requests, you’ve probably seen me DNW PIV sex with Attolia or Eddis unless they’re pregnant. And Stork Swap is the perfect time to explicitly request PIV sex while Attolia (and Eddis, if you wish to do the foursome and have Eddis be pregnant too) is pregnant! I’m very into being able to fully relax during sex now that she knows there’s no chance of a conception with unwanted paternity, and enjoy types of sex she’s had to avoid before.

  • Couple Brings in Third For Conception Purposes – or asks their already-established third if he wouldn’t mind being the secret biological father of Attolia’s baby, as one does. For the reason behind it, perhaps Gen is trans, or infertile, or the gods have foretold that Eugenides cannot father their children at risk of catastrophe/recessive Eddisian genetic condition/etc (or if you want to get super angsty with it, Gen prays to the gods for the reason behind Attolia’s miscarriage and is told any children fathered by him won’t be born alive). I’m o into all the complicated emotions this would create, with Gen and Attolia needing to find someone they can trust to never reveal the baby’s true paternity, and the bio father having to agree to life at a remove form the baby he fathered, and probably feelings of inadequacy on Gen’s part. I would be very into Gen worrying about how he’ll feel about the baby and then as soon as the twins are born (assuming you go with canon), he loves them instantly and just like he was the one who conceived them. Also them finding a way to include the bio dad in the baby’s/babies’ lives in spite of the scrutiny the royal heirs would be under would be lovely.

Baldur’s Gate

Fandom-specific DNW

  • Mystra portrayed as grooming Gale or having started their relationship when he was underage (I love Mystra/Gale as a toxic/bad relationship otherwise! And other underage sex or characters being groomed is welcome too)

A few fandom thoughts:

I don't have a specific Tav or Dark Urge, but I'm happy for you to include your own in this fanwork! No preference on gender, race, etc. As far as character endings go, I'd like all the companions to end the game alive, and I've got a preference for spawn Astarion, but go wild!

Ships

  • Laezel & Hatched Githyanki Egg (BG3) – I will love any and all kidfic/art that you want to do of Lae’zel and a baby or older child Githyanki! But if you want to get more angsty and Thematic about it, I also think there’s a lot of potential in Lae’zel, once she’s charged with raising a child, trying to figure out what it actually means to be gith now that she knows the truth about Vlaakith, and what parts of her upbringing she wants to continue vs which parts she doesn’t want to pass on to a new generation. Any romantic Lae’zel ships you want to include are also welcome, although I have a special soft spot for all the origin characters +/- Tav in a polycule

Freeforms

  • Adjusting to life with a new baby

  • Arguing about Proper Infant Care – up to you who Lae’zel is arguing with, but I imagine the gith have some childrearing practices that pretty much any other character would be aghast at (and feel free to play that for comedy or go more serious with it)

  • Bedtime Stories - retelling past adventures as bedtime stories

  • Communal Child Raising – what if the whole tadpole gang raises Lae’zel’s kid together...

  • Entering Combat While Holding Baby

  • First time parenting brings up memories of traumatic childhood – For this plus the next two tags, I’m just so into Lae’zel raising this kid and finding herself reevaluating everything about her life under Vlaakith as she sees just how young and vulnerable they are

  • Having Baby Makes Character Question Own Upbringing

  • Learning how not to inflict intergenerational trauma on your child

  • Mix of pride and fear when child pulls off dangerous feat – especially if Lae’zel thinks she’s going soft for being afraid for her kid

withinadream: (Default)

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I am [archiveofourown.org profile] within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! I have requested both fic and art for all fandoms.

Feel free to grab prompts from previous letters if you want – my DNWs have changed over the years, but my general likes and fandom prompts pretty much haven’t.

You’re welcome to include your favorite characters in addition to my requested characters and relationships, and for my solo character requests, I especially encourage you to have my requested character interacting with your fave/s!

Don’t feel bound to my prompts if none of them catch your interest – I’ll be happy with anything about my ships that doesn’t contain my DNWs!

DNWs

  • Pregnancy, childbirth, oviposition - mentions of canonical pregnancy are fine, but I don’t want art showing visibly pregnant characters or fics going into detail about pregnancy, related medical concerns, h/c related to pregnancy, etc.

  • Removal of genitals

  • AUs I DNW: Modern/mundane AUs, soulmate AUs (soulbonds are welcome!), BDSM AUs, omegaverse

Fic Likes


  • I love all tenses and POVs!

  • Fic about canonical children, Accidental Child Acquisition of OC children (especially for characters who are not at all parental and have no idea what to do with kids)

  • Casefic, with a loose definition of "case" that encompasses mysteries for mystery fandoms, paranormal investigations for fantasy canons, espionage for spy canons, etc

  • Ghost stories! Particular favorites include the "ghostly hitchhiker" urban legend and the setup where characters need to spend the night in a haunted house for Reasons

  • Recovery or aftermath – of canonical traumatic events or noncanonical torture, rape, murder attempts, etc

  • Whump, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort

  • 5+1 fics

  • Epistolary fic

  • Always-a-woman AUs (cis or trans women welcome!)

  • Trans headcanons, trans characters, character-is-trans AUs

  • Gay, bi, aroace, queer, etc headcanons

  • Internal or external homophobia

Art Likes

  • I love any art styles and media!

  • Disheveled characters (whether from fights or anything else)

  • Clothing/costume porn

  • Limited color palettes

  • Blood, bruises, marks, injuries

Benjamin January mysteries

I am so behind on my reading so I still haven’t read Death and Cider, but I hope to have finished it by work reveals.

Relationships:

  • Solo: Benjamin January

Freeforms:

  • Alternate Universe - Always a Different Gender – so I’m really into seeing how Ben as a woman might change canon. Does she disguise herself as a man to go to medical school, or is her entire career path different? How might her approach to solving mysteries be different? Her relationships with her family? Nonbinary Ben equally welcome, but I have fewer specific prompts/questions in that case

  • Alternate Universe - The Old Guard-Style Immortality - I am enamored with the idea of Ben dying of cholera pre-canon and then awakening as an immortal, and other than that I am happy to see literally anything in this AU. (If you’re not familiar with The Old Guard, basically it’s immortals throughout history who realize they’re immortal when they die and come back to life, and can then keep coming back to life from even the worst of injuries, and try to do good in the world through time). I would love to see him getting to witness more of history, especially the abolition of slavery and the progression of civil rights, and advancements in medicine. I am down for OC immortals, Ben as the only immortal, or other characters also being immortals (Ben being drawn back to New Orleans by immortal Hannibal or Rose or Shaw etc would be pretty fun!)

  • Ghosts – I just really love ghost stories, and Ben is especially fun as a ghost story protagonist to me. Him seeing the ghost of someone whose death he’s investigating would be especially fun.

  • Wounded Doctor Character Has To Instruct Non-Doctor on How To Treat Their Injuries

Les Mis – Valjean & Cosette

I’m requesting the musical because my request is due to the current US touring production reigniting my love for the fandom, but I’ve read the novel if you’d like to mix canons or write/draw novel-canon instead! I don’t have a preferred cast for appearances art-wise.

Relationships:

  • Cosette Fauchelevent & Jean Valjean (Les Mis -S/B)

Freeforms:

  • Aftermath of Canon Trauma - so we just totally skip from Valjean’s acquisition of Cosette to Cosette as a late teen, and I really want more of the time in between those two moments! Cosette getting used to having a loving guardian, Cosette dealing with the trauma of her time with the Thenardiers, Valjean doing his best. I have a lot of tags to this effect. I’m also totally down for more Valjean being traumatized from his time in prison too!

  • Character Raises a Child

  • Character With Abusive Childhood Adjusts to Non-Abusive Current Life

  • Childhood Trauma

  • Clumsy But Earnest Attempt at Doing a Child's Hair

  • Hurt/Comfort - Two Characters Traumatized In Different Ways & Trying to Help Each Other

  • The Process of Healing From Past Trauma

  • Trans Character – I am down for any take on trans Cosette or trans Valjean here, but the thing that spurred me to request this tag was imagining trans girl Cosette and the new dimensions that would add to Valjean getting her a doll and new dresses. I’m down for pure fluff, looks at French queer and trans culture of the time/s, plottier looks at how Cosette and/or Valjean being trans would impact Valjean’s life on the run and/or the Thenardiers recognizing Cosette, or anything else! Basically the only thing I don’t want is Valjean not accepting trans!Cosette’s identity or vice versa.

  • Trauma - A tries to gently touch B; B flinches like they're about to be hit

  • Traumatized Character Learning to Trust Others

Les Mis – Les Amis

I’m requesting the musical because my request is due to the current US touring production reigniting my love for the fandom, but I’ve read the novel if you’d like to mix canons or write/draw novel-canon instead! I don’t have a preferred cast for appearances art-wise.

Relationships:

  • Group: Group: Les Amis de l'ABC (Les Mis – S/B) – I love any or all of Les Amis so pick your favorite/s! Feel free to include Marius as well

Freeforms:

  • Alternate Universe - Always a Different Gender – I just really love genderbend AUs and would love to see more women or nonbinary characters amongst Les Amis! Feel free to combine with other tags, just draw me what characters would look like if they weren’t men, do an in-depth examination of how the revolutionaries’ lives and politics would be different if they were a different gender, or anything else

  • Canonically dead character lives (but is still badly hurt) – I love everyone-lives or not-everyone-dies AUs, but I especially love when the survivor/s are left with serious and/or disabling injuries

  • Rape Aftermath – I really love rape aftermath and/or recovery works in general, but one of my favorite types is gen rape aftermath and/or recovery where the victim is comforted by their friends, and I just want more of this plot for any of Les Amis. I really am down for anything, but a few favorite things include post-rape medical care, character trying to hide what happened from their friends, trauma coming back to affect them even after the character thinks they are or should be “fully recovered”, platonic bedsharing and/or friendly touch to help with trauma

Queen’s Thief

Relationships:

  • Pheris Erondites - I was not expecting to come out of Return of the Thief loving Pheris so much. I want so many more fanworks about him! I want to see more of what he does post-canon, and I want him to be happy after his incredibly shitty childhood. I also really love the exploration of disability and the multiple disabled characters in canon and would love to see more of that in fics.

Freeforms:

  • Aftermath of Canon Trauma – his early childhood, his experiences during the war, or both

  • Character is Excited to Learn – I am especially fond of Pheris’s love of math, but anything is great!

  • Character With Abusive Childhood Adjusts to Non-Abusive Current Life

  • Childhood Trauma

  • The Process of Healing From Past Trauma

  • What character thinks is a funny anecdote horrifies their friends &/or loved ones

Radiant Emperor

Relationships:

  • Solo: General Ouyang

Freeforms:

  • Becoming a better person through the power of friendship - ‘better person’ is relative here since it’s not like most of Ouyang’s potential friends are good people, but I think a friendship with, say, Zhu and Ma could at least help with the misogyny and self-loathing

  • Canonically dead character lives (but is still badly hurt) – and for my other 3 tags, I just think it would be really fun if Ouyang lives and has to deal with a) achieving the revenge that’s driven him since childhood and finding it hollow, and b) the big reveal about his dad/his family. What will he do with himself now that his sacrifices have been made meaningless? I leave that up to you, dear author/artist

  • Character expected to die but didn't and now has no idea how to live anymore

  • Surviving Canon Death with Nonetheless Life-Altering Consequences and Injuries

Downton Abbey

Relationships:

  • Solo: Thomas Barrow – I enjoy his relationships with any of the canon characters, and feel free to do something OC-centric as well

Freeforms:

  • Character Finds Support In Queer Community – for this and “Queer Gen”, I would just really love to see Thomas find a queer community and friends. You can jump off the other gay characters he meets in either of the movies, or OCs, or anything else you’d like! I didn’t request “Character A takes newly-out Character B to a gay bar” because the dynamic wasn’t quite right for Thomas and for Edwardian England, but I would also love to see him get to go to gay clubs, bars, gathering places, etc.

  • Queer Gen

  • Rape Aftermath – and I also love Thomas whump! Would prefer OC rapist, and I’m also especially into Thomas thinking no one will be sympathetic/everyone else will blame him for the rape and finding to his surprise that his fellow servants are much more compassionate than he’d expected. Thomas & Anna interaction would be especially fun if set after Anna’s rape

The Old Guard (Movie)

I’ve read the comics, so if you want to draw on comics canon that doesn’t contradict movie canon, feel free! If you haven’t, solely-movie canon is of course welcome.

Relationships:

  • Creator’s Choice of Immortal – I love all of the characters, and am really just interested in more set in this world! So pick your fave/s, and also feel free to set things in your favorite historical era, bring in your favorite historical figures, bring in some OCs, or anything else

Freeforms:

  • Blood and Gore – as a huge gore fan, I love the potential for really gnarly injuries that the immortality and regeneration/healing allows for! An art piece or a fic that’s just going ham on horrible injuries with minimal plot is very welcome

  • Gratuitous Historical Detail – I always want more of the characters throughout history. I have a loose definition of “gratuitous” here, I just want some historical set dressing at minimum.

  • Hurt/Comfort - Gratuitously described violence/injuries

  • learning new languages – I am especially into the development of languages over long periods of time, with the characters having to pick up newer languages, maybe returning to a country they haven’t been to for centuries and finding out they talk like ancient literature, the characters learning each other’s languages, something really deep-diving into linguistic nerdery with Andy’s first language being proto-Indo-European or something...go wild! Or something modern with Nile picking up her fellow immortals’ native languages

  • Mission Fic

Baldur’s Gate – Rolan

Fandom-specific DNW:

  • Mystra portrayed as grooming Gale or having started their relationship when he was underage (I love Mystra/Gale as a toxic/bad relationship otherwise! And other underage sex or characters being groomed is welcome too.) For these tags, I want Rolan as the abused party rather than Gale, and I don’t want Gale relating to Rolan by comparing Mystra to Lorroakan.

Relationships:

  • In general this request is geared towards the Rolan & Lorroakan relationship and its aftermath, although I’m totally down for you using someone or something else to fuck Rolan up if you’d rather! I love Rolan being self-reliant to a fault and not wanting to let on what’s going on to others, and also Lorroakan telling Rolan that everything he’s doing is just normal wizard apprentice stuff (possibly with a fantasy-racist side of “of course a tiefling couldn’t be expected to understand our fine magical traditions”). Canon physical/emotional abuse is great, adding in sexual abuse/rape also great.

  • Cal & Lia & Rolan (BG3) – I just love these three and I want more of them interacting! I’m especially into Cal and Lia having to be careful not to be too loud about how what’s happening to Rolan is fucked up, lest he cut them off

  • Gale & Rolan (BG3) – I am so into Gale being Rolan’s new magic teacher post-Lorroakan, and/or Rolan telling Gale about the Totally Normal Magical Lessons Lorroakan is giving him and Gale being like “um wtf I am rescuing you from this man immediately”

Freeforms:

  • Aftermath of Canon Trauma

  • Character hiding abuse gets found out

  • Enemy branded A as their property; B accidentally sees the mark on A's skin

  • Hurt/Comfort - Character Doesn't Expect Tenderness But Gets It Anyway

  • Hurt/Comfort - Downplaying traumatic events and/or injuries

  • Hurt/Comfort - hurt character hates showing vulnerability

Baldur’s Gate – Lae’zel & Hatched Githyanki Egg

Relationships:

  • Lae’zel & Hatched Githyanki Egg - I will love any and all kidfic/art that you want to do of Lae’zel and a baby or older child Githyanki! But if you want to get more angsty and Thematic about it, I also think there’s a lot of potential in Lae’zel, once she’s charged with raising a child, trying to figure out what it actually means to be gith now that she knows the truth about Vlaaketh, and what parts of her upbringing she wants to continue vs which parts she doesn’t want to pass on to a new generation.

Freeforms

  • Character does not feel ready to raise a child; does a good job anyway

  • Character Raises a Child

  • Kidfic

The Gilded Age (TV)

Relationships:

  • Gladys Russell & Oscar van Rhijn (Gilded Age) – so I just desperately want a canon-divergenge AU where Gladys realizes she’s a lesbian and she and Oscar get married so they can both live their dream gay lives in NYC without Gladys’s mom stifling her. Does Gladys end up saying something revealing to Oscar when he’s courting her? Does Oscar just have good gaydar? Does Gladys come out to her dad and he decides that he’s going to find his daughter the perfect gay husband if it’s the last thing he does? Do you have another idea for how this marriage happens? Go wild, I just lovelovelove lavender marriages and want anything that runs with this premise.

Freeforms:

  • Characters in a lavender marriage of convenience getting to know each other

  • Platonic marriage of convenience

I'm doing elasticella's Femslash Salad Bar event, and you should all join me! Hosting my prompt table in this post, and I'll update it with links if I manage to actually write anything. (And if you have any suggestions for which ships should go with which prompt, feel free to comment! I'm especially looking to write more Baldur's Gate 3, since I haven't done any f/f for that fandom yet, but I'm good with any fandoms we share.)

ETA: I have plans for everything except 5 and 10, if you are here from the chat post and have prompts!

Thank you for writing for me! I am [archiveofourown.org profile] within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! I’d prefer that my main gift be a fic, but I welcome art or podfic treats (including podfics of my own fic).

Feel free to grab prompts from previous letters if you want – my DNWs have changed over the years, but my general likes and fandom prompts pretty much haven’t.

If I don’t DNW a ship, feel free to include it in the background of a gift, I have very few NoTPs. Also feel free to include multiple requested ships in a gift or make any relationships poly. Trans characters, trans headcanons, and character-is-trans AUs always welcome. I enjoy aromantic, no-romo, friends-with benefits takes on ships and characters with unusual or nontypical attitudes towards romance (although I prefer for historical characters not to explicitly use the word aromantic). I’m also down for any amount of character death, graphic violence, and/or noncon.

Don’t feel bound to my prompts if none of them catch your interest – I’ll be happy with anything about my ships that doesn’t contain my DNWs! Length of prompts is 0% an indication of what I want more and 100% just a function of what ships I’ve requested before/have previous prompts to pull from.


DNWs

DNWs

  • Pregnancy, childbirth, oviposition - mentions of canonical pregnancy are fine, but I don’t want art showing visibly pregnant characters or fics going into detail about pregnancy, related medical concerns, h/c related to pregnancy, etc.

  • Trans characters having PIV sex - other types of vaginal penetration or uses of dicks are fine!

  • Explicit monogamy - I'm fine with my two-person ships being the only ship in the work, and I don't need anyone to be explicitly poly, I just don't want any of the characters in them explicitly saying they'll only ever love each other or that they're not poly

  • Breaking up canon ships, canon ships cheating on each other - my preferred way to handle canon ships for my noncanon ship requests is to either have it be an open relationship or simply not mentioning the canon ship/s

  • Unrequested noncon with a ship member as the perpetrator - past or onscreen noncon with an OC, or fuck-or-die/etc between my requested ships are always fine, as is one character being possessed and the thing doing the possessing using their body to noncon the other ship member/s

  • AUs I DNW: Modern/mundane AUs, soulmate AUs (soulbonds are welcome!), BDSM AUs (regular BDSM is fine, I just don’t want the engrained/biological dom/sub roles), omegaverse



General Likes

  • I love all tenses and POVs!

  • Fic about canonical children, Accidental Child Acquisition of OC children (especially for characters who are not at all parental and have no idea what to do with kids)

  • Casefic, with a loose definition of "case" that encompasses mysteries for mystery fandoms, paranormal investigations for fantasy canons, espionage for spy canons, etc (or mix it up and make the spies face something supernatural, the wizards solve a murder, etc!)

  • Ghost stories! Particular favorites include the "ghostly hitchhiker" urban legend and the setup where characters need to spend the night in a haunted house for Reasons

  • Recovery or aftermath – of canonical traumatic events or noncanonical torture, rape, murder attempts, etc

  • Whump, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort

  • 5+1 fics

  • Epistolary fic

  • Always-a-woman AUs (cis or trans women welcome!)

  • Trans headcanons, trans characters, character-is-trans AUs

  • Aromantic, noromo, etc relationships

  • Internal or external homophobia



Smut Likes
  • Feel free to include any of your favorite kinks if you are writing or drawing me smut! My only squicks are in my DNWs – anything else goes.
  • Any and all sex acts (vaginal, anal, oral, manual, frottage, intercrural, fisting, double penetration, sounding, etc) are great! I have no top/bottom or dom/sub preferences.

  • My favorite words for genitals are cock and cunt, but I have no objections to whatever you’d like to use

  • Anal sex for everyone, but especially m/f and f/f anal

  • Pretty much anything under the BDSM umbrella. I am especially into unnegotiated or undernegotiated kink, and characters falling into kinky dynamics or things they enjoy (especially with the younger characters). I have no dom/sub preferences

  • I would love noncon for any of my requested characters or fandoms – if you want to know more about what I like in dubcon or noncon I have a general list of kinks and tropes here in my Consent Issues letter. I generally prefer noncon with an OC or canonical antagonist as the rapist, and "fuck or die" setups between my requested characters are also great!

  • Roleplay – I am into both serious roleplay and goofy scenarios that the characters can’t quite take seriously, and I am especially fond of rape roleplay/consensual non-consent

  • Group sex, orgies, and gangbangs

  • Gunplay, especially fucking someone with a gun

  • Watersports – I am mostly into it for humiliation or marking aspects, and am neutral about drinking piss (and would prefer if any drinking happens it’s someone having their mouth pissed in directly rather than just drinking a glass of pee/etc)


Whump Likes
  • For sickfic, I’m good with anything from the common cold to deadly diseases. Just make my requested hurt character/s miserable and I will be happy! Historically-accurate medical care for my historical canons is very welcome, but not necessary

  • Torture – I’m especially fond of beatings, whipping, and broken bones

  • Fevers, especially making confessions of emotion while feverish and not thinking clearly

  • Characters feeling guilty about needing care

  • Characters not wanting to stop and rest despite their injuries and/or mental state

  • Anxiety or panic attacks




Rape/Noncon/Rape Recovery Likes
  • Graphic/onscreen noncon is very welcome, as is a gift that only includes the aftermath and/or recovery!

  • Any aggressor/victim gender combos are great!

  • You know how so many KJC characters have horrible older brothers and/or fathers? Just feel free to add sexual abuse and/or rape to any of those relationships

  • Characters blaming themselves for the rape

  • Characters hiding the rape from their friends/loved ones until they accidentally reveal it by completely breaking down

  • I am totally down for aroused or unaroused victims

  • Aggressors praising the victims, especially in a condescending way

  • Aggressors cutting or branding words into the victim, especially insults or marks of property

  • Bruises, cuts, blood (especially bleeding from the nose or mouth), visible injuries

  • Forced bestiality (with the victim being penetrated)

  • Victims killing their aggressor/s during or after the rape



Last Binding/Society of Gentlemen Crossover
  • Alan Ross (Last Binding) & Silas Mason, Lord Hawthorn/Alan Ross (Last Binding) & Dominic Frey/Silas Mason, Lord Hawthorn/Alan Ross (Last Binding)/Dominic Frey/Silas Mason - I love these two CNC-loving historical romance couples and I think they should meet up! I realize the timelines don’t at all match up, so feel free to transport one couple to the setting of the other series, just set your work in a nebulous setting with no specifics as to era, or do whatever else you’d like to get them to meet up (time travel?). I would love to see them having sex, talking to each other (about their shared sexy interest or otherwise), or an AU where Silas is Alan’s printer



Gentle Art of Fortune-Hunting
  • Alice Fenwick/Marianne Loxleigh – I really thought the book was gonna end with these two kissing! Since it didn’t, I turn to fanworks. I’d love to see them having fun on the Continent (sexy fun or otherwise), running a con together for whatever reason you can come up with, Alice being excited about math, Alice and Marianne’s letters home to Hart and Robin (perhaps contrasted with showing the bits they didn’t put in the letters).



Think of England
  • Archie Curtis/Daniel da Silva & Henry Curtis/Captain Good – I am a sucker for “meet the family” stories, and I also love the idea that Archie was raised by his gay uncles and yet was still baffled to discover that he himself is gay. (Did he know they were a couple, or is he figuring it out during the course of this story? Either is good with me.) I also love Daniel being nervous to meet Archie’s family (although I’d like it if they end up getting along well).



Doomsday Books
  • Berengaria d'Aumesty/Emily Doomsday - I would love to see how they got together! We see just enough of their relationship in the book to make me fall in love with them, but not nearly enough to satisfy me. I also would love to see more about Berengaria’s art and Emily modeling for her. Also, what does Emily think of Berry’s art? Is she also big into art, and they have conversations about theory and stuff, or does she just love her girlfriend’s stuff and not care so much about art in general? Emily discovering an interest and learning more about art theory/history/etc would be very fun. Also! Post-canon fic/art about the aftermath of canon! Berry has learned some very horrible things about her parents, and is also completely free from their influence for the first time! That’s a lot to deal with!

  • Joss Doomsday/Gareth Inglis - I love Gareth/Joss and am down for anything you want to write/draw about them! Pre-canon looks at their relationship and/or how they met, post-canon, fluff, fights they’ve had, smut...I am also very into the inner workings of estates and would love to see more of Gareth getting used to being a baronet and taking over from his father, and Joss continuing with his responsibilities as a Doomsday, and how those two might intersect. Also, what happens with them and their relationships with Luke in between books!

  • Joss Doomsday/Gareth Inglis & Luke Doomsday – I just want to see more of Luke’s relationship with Joss and Gareth, especially between books. I loved how Gareth was able to relate to Luke, and seeing Joss try to do better by Luke. I’d love to see Luke writing letters home from school, or visiting on school breaks, and I’d also like to see Luke returning to Gareth and Joss after his last disastrous pre-Rufus secretarial position.

  • Laura Colefax/Odo d'Aumesty - I ended this series so unexpectedly fond of Odo, and I want to see his life post-canon! For people who don’t remember, Laura is his fiancee, the daughter of the curate he asks for help with his investigation. Based on absolutely nothing, I assume Laura and her father have a good relationship, and I’d love to see Odo’s feelings about joining like, an actually functional and loving family. I want to see the two of them nerding out about history together. I am totally down for smut and would especially love to see them doing some incredibly nerdy and intricate roleplay (possibly with one of them getting derailed correcting the other on historical inaccuracies), or something genderfucky with Odo roleplaying as a woman and/or Laura as a man

  • Odo D'Aumesty/Luke Doomsday, Odo D'Aumesty/Rufus D'Aumesty/Luke Doomsday – okay, so my main prompt here is “Odo praise kink”. I think Odo should fuck someone who says nice things about him and get very flustered about it. Also, imagining Odo in the middle of Luke and Rufus’s droit du seigneur roleplays is very fun to me. Odo being surprisingly good at sex when it plays to his historical interests, or alternatively Odo bringing up historical accuracy criticisms of the roleplay scenario. If you have another vision for these ships, go wild! I just really want Odo happiness and/or Odo sex comedy.

  • Lord Corvin & Rufus D'Aumesty, The Murder & Rufus D'Aumesty – so like, Rufus doesn’t have a ton of Society Friends now that he’s an earl, and Luke knows the Murder, some of whom are also nobility...Luke should make an introduction. Rufus at a Murder party, Rufus getting estate management tips from Philip, Rufus scandalizing the neighbors with his friendships, or anything else you can come up with!

  • Lord Corvin/Rufus D'Aumesty/Luke Doomsday – I don’t even have prompts here, just please give Corvin a threesome with Rufus and Luke! I was so excited to see Corvin pop up in Nobleman’s Guide, and even more excited that he and Luke had hooked up. So clearly Luke should invite Corvin back! Or feel free to combine with the above prompts and do Rufus and Luke at a Murder orgy.

  • Rufus D’Aumesty & Any of his Cousins – okay so I love how when faced with the horrible D’AUmesty clan, Rufus sets about figuring out how to get along with his cousins, and I want to see his post-canon interactions with one, two, or all three of them! Meeting Odo’s fiancee, working with Fulk on the estate (listen I am such a slut for estate maintenance), talking art with Berengaria, or anything else you can think of!

  • Rufus D’Aumesty/Luke Doomsday - I love these two so much will enjoy anything shippy and/or smutty about them. I love the roleplay aspects of their sex scenes in the book and would love to see them exploring further scenarios! (What if they fucked in the Mithraean temple to help Luke overcome his bad memories of almost dying...) I also love the care Luke takes with accommodating Rufus’s dyslexia, and would love to see more of them running the estate together with their complementary skillsets.



Band Sinister
  • Albert "Cornelius" Scrope/Sinclair – We barely see anything about these two in canon, and the fandom is so good at fleshing out minor characters. I would love to see how they meet the Murder, how they get hired, an outsider POV on canon or made-up Murder shenanigans, or anything else you’d like to write!

  • Lord Corvin/Amanda Frisby/David Martelo - There's an original works ship that's been nominated for several multifandom exchanges, Crown Princess Who Was A Starving Writer In Her Former Life/Faraway King Who's A Fan Of Her Books, and I keep thinking about Princess/Faraway King/Princess’s or King’s Advisor as an AU for Amanda/Corvin/David respectively. I also want to see more Amanda & Corvin (and Amanda & Murder) interactions in a canon setting, and David being a little exasperated and a lot endeared by the antics Amanda and Corvin get up to is a great dynamic. I would also love smut with Amanda enthusiastically enlisting Corvin to help David explain to her and demonstrate all of these sex acts she’s heard vague whispers about.

  • Amanda Frisby/David Martelo/Any Character - listen I just really love Amanda getting to have a fun and sexy time post-marriage to make up for her pre-marriage life, including through threesomes (or moresomes)! This can be a sexual arrangement or Amanda and/or David falling in love with someone or someones, and I’m also down for crossover characters, historical figures, and OCs

  • Lord Corvin/Country Curate – so there’s an excerpt of a potential Corvin novel on the KJC Facebook group that has haunted me with a desire for fic since I read it. If you don’t have access, no worries, the important bit is that it’s set post-Band Sinister and contains John Raven telling Corvin that he absolutely should not fuck the curate of Wrayton Magna and Corvin being like “but what if I fuck him anyway~”. Corvin’s description of the curate: The new curate’s not bad, in a gloomy sort of way. A face like funereal architecture of the more magnificent sort. I say this as a compliment, you understand. Please give me this story! If you want my even more niche thoughts, I think it would be very fun if the curate had a previous gay relationship that fell apart because he’s aromantic and couldn’t reciprocate his lover’s romantic feelings, and then meets Corvin and has his horizons of what relationships can be broadened (and also stops hating himself for not being able to be what the past lover wanted/needed).

  • Lord Corvin/Mr. Dent – Basically just take my Corvin/Country Curate prompt but make it Mr. Dent. Idk if it’s what was intended, but the description of a gloomy-looking curate sounded familiar, and if you roll with the aro4aro subprompt, it could add some interesting flavor for Dent agreeing to marry Amanda on Aunt Beatrice’s say-so. Dent joining in on some Murder gatherings and Guy and/or Amanda recognizing him would be very fun, as would Dent standing up to and/or scandalizing Beatrice on Corvin’s urging/with Corvin’s support.



Society of Gentleman/Band Sinister Crossover
  • The Murder & The Ricardians – listen, these two queer friend groups could not be more different and I so want them to collide. Does one group need the other’s help for something? Does Corvin hear about the Ricardians and make it his life goal to get them to attend a party and/or corrupt them? Does it become a Murder/Ricardians relationship where they all have an orgy?



Society of Gentlemen
  • David Cyprian & Silas Mason -I loved what we saw of their friendship in the series and I want so much more! Playing board games together and talking, Silas’s staunch convictions vs Cyprian’s careful apoliticalness. I also love the potential for hurt/comfort here - I would love to see Silas being the first person to notice that something bad happened to David or the first person David tells, or vice versa, with it being harder to face Richard or Dom than Silas or David.

  • David Cyprian/Silas Mason – everything above still goes, and really I just think it would be fun if they hooked up.

  • David Cyprian & Silas Mason & Harry Vane – I love David & Silas and Silas & Harry as relationships, and I think it would be very fun to combine them and have Cyprian and Harry interact! I’m especially interested in seeing Silas’s post-canon life, or it would also be very fun to have something bad happen to Silas, and Cyprian and Harry having to work together to help him (whether that’s getting him out of trouble, helping him recover, or whatever else)

  • Silas Mason & Julius Norreys – fascinated by the relationship between these two and how they get along better than anyone would expect (ie getting along at all). I’d love to see them becoming friends post-canon, and I’d also love fic where something bad happens to Harry, and Silas and Julius either end up waiting for him to recover or working together to help him get out of trouble or get revenge (or just getting revenge without telling him what they’re doing)

  • Gabriel Ashleigh/Julius Norreys/Harry Vane/Francis Webster – I love pretty much all permutations on Ricardians group sex, and this is a group I don’t think I’d thought about before. With Ash and Harry getting along so well as like, the rambunctious puppies of the group, I feel like it’s not too hard to get them and their boyfriends together. Does one of these four have a specific multi-person fantasy they want to act out? Does someone want to be gangbanged? Does a card game get sexual?

  • James Oxley & The Ricardians, Silas Mason & The Ricardians – listen I just think the non-gentleman boyfriends should get to come to the Ricardians’ social gatherings too! Like, does Silas particularly want to come to the private rooms at Quex’s? Not really. Will he argue to the death for his (and Oxley’s once he’s in the picture) right to go there with Dom just for the principle of the matter and will Harry join in once he catches wind? Absolutely. It would be awkward at first, but I’d like to see at least some of the other Ricardians start to get along with Silas and/or Jamie by the end. I only nommed the gen versions for space, but I will not turn down a sexier take either. (Also, I have a WIP where on Jamie’s first time meeting the rest of the Ricardians, the group invites Jamie to play cards and Jamie says their bets are probably too rich for his income, and Harry panics and proposes strip pokerpicquet, if that strikes your fancy and you want to do your own version.)

  • The Ricardians/The Ricardians – it would be an absolute disaster if the Ricardians had an orgy and I think they should, whether it’s of their own volition or they get dosed with sex pollen somehow or there’s a curse put on them that can only be cured through group sex and/or a gangbang or whatever other justification you want to put here



Charm of Magpies
**DNW exception: if you do a Stephen/Merrick/Lucien fic, feel free to have Merrick never end up with Jenny
  • Frank Merrick/Lucien Vaudrey - Listen, I just think they should hook up at some point when they're in Shanghai together. Mutual pining is great, hurt/comfort (with either one being the hurt party) that leads to romance and/or sex is great, the two of them being friends with benefits in between Lucien's ill-advised relationships and Merrick's less-ill-advised relationships is great! The tension in the beginning of their relationship where all Merrick knows is that Lucien is a Vaudrey, and then realizing that Lucien is a much different and more fun/less rapey flavor of asshole is great. No dom/sub preference or top/bottom preference here, but I do think it would be a fun ship dynamic if Merrick is the only person Lucien wants to sub and/or bottom for.

  • Stephen Day/Frank Merrick/Lucien Vaudrey - In my latest reread of the series, I kept thinking about a version of the first book where Lucien and Merrick are already together, and how the Lucien/Stephen relationship progression would change. I tend to see it as a V with Crane at the center, although I'd greatly enjoy seeing Stephen and Merrick interact more in a platonic (or not so platonic if you wanna go full triad) way. I'd prefer a work where we can see the ship eventually get to a comfortable place with each other, but starting out with jealousy on Stephen and/or Merrick's part and getting into some angst before that resolution is very welcome! (Basically the only thing I don't want is a fic that's entirely angst about how Stephen or Merrick wishes they were the only person Crane is dating)

  • Ned Hall/Crispin Tredarloe - I want to see more of their future as Justiciars! Casefic investigating whatever you’d like, Crispin and Ned learning magic, Ned getting used to this new world he’s been thrust into, them interacting more with the other characters in the series (I love the contrasts we get in the series between how we see the characters when we’re in their heads for their primary books, and how they look to Crispin and Ned). Or elationship fic in general! Smut is very welcome (especially smut involving magic, and listen, these two would be perfect for writing-on-the-body kink), the two of them being domestic together, planning out their future and spending their new salary...



Lilywhite Boys
  • Jerry Crozier/Templeton Lane, Jerry Crozier/Templeton Lane/Alexander "Alec" Pyne-ffoulkes – sometimes a book tells me two characters would absolutely never fuck and my mind immediately goes to “okay but what if they did? I'm especially interested in Jerry and Temp having a friends-with-benefits dynamic, where they're not In Love with each other but enjoy hooking up (or maybe they have some sort of kink relationship that they don’t necessarily conceptualize as sex). James dressing Jerry up in opals would be delightful, as would Alec and Jerry bringing in Temp for a more involved fantasy that needs a third person. The only thing I really don't want is for James' anger at Jerry in Gilded Cage to be due to sexual or romantic jealousy.



Sins of the Cities
  • Justin Lazarus/Any Seance Client - As soon as Unnatural Vice mentioned Justin "playing the good boy" for clients I wanted some angst about Justin deciding to or having to sleep with clients. You can go more consensual-but-not-fun or dubcon with it, or go full noncon with it. Perhaps a client forcing themselves on Justin, and Justin not being able to say no or he'll lose a significant amount of income. Justin trying to pull himself together afterwards so he doesn't look upset in front of the kids. Justin running into this client post-canon, and perhaps Nathaniel noticing how much Justin hates this person and asking why.

Thank you for writing and/or drawing for me! I am [archiveofourown.org profile] within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! I have requested both fic and art for all fandoms.

Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3

I don’t have a specific Tav or Durge I’m attached to – feel free to use your own! I do prefer a specific Tav rather than leaving them vague. Any race/class/background/etc is great. Also feel free to add any background ships you like.

Fandom-specific DNWs

  • Asexual Astarion (he doesn’t have to have sex during the fanwork, I just don’t want him explicitly or implicitly identifying as asexual)

  • Mystra portrayed as grooming Gale or having started their relationship when he was underage (I love Mystra/Gale as a toxic/bad relationship otherwise! And other underage sex or characters being groomed is welcome too)

Ships

  • Astarion & Any of Astarion's Spawn Siblings (BG3) – I’m fascinated by the relationship between Cazador’s spawn! Pre-canon (and feel free to go heavy on the whump/torture/etc), during canon when their paths intersect, or adjusting to a post-Cazador life post-canon is all great! I especially love a dynamic where they don’t exactly like each other (especially after everything Cazador has forced them to do to each other and the way he’s pitted them against each other) but they’re also the only ones who understand what they’ve gone through

  • Astarion/Any of Astarion's Spawn Siblings (BG3) – Everything for the gen version still goes! I love Cazador forcing the spawn to rape each other, (probably fucked-up) relationships forming between the spawn during captivity, and post-canon setups where they end up together because they’re the only ones who understand each other, and/or learning how to have relationships with each other now that Cazador is gone for good.

  • Gale & Rolan (BG3) – I just think Rolan should get to learn magic from someone who’s less of an asshole than Lorroakan! I would also love Rolan mentioning Lorroakan’s abuse to Gale thinking it’s normal among master-apprentice relationships and Gale being like “um wtf no he should not be treating you like that!” (And if you want to add in Lorroakan sexually abusing/raping Rolan, I also love that)

  • Laezel & Hatched Githyanki Egg (BG3) – okay so I saw someone mention the possibility of the egg you can steal from the creche hatching and leaving Lae’zel with a kid, and I will love any and all kidfic/art that you want to do of Lae’zel and a baby or older child Githyanki! But if you want to get more angsty and Thematic about it, I also think there’s a lot of potential in Lae’zel, once she’s charged with raising a child, trying to figure out what it actually means to be gith now that she knows the truth about Vlaaketh, and what parts of her upbringing she wants to continue vs which parts she doesn’t want to pass on to a new generation. Any romantic Lae’zel ships you want to include are also welcome, although I have a special soft spot for all the origin characters +/- Tav in a polycule

  • Wyll/Any Character (BG3) – I love Wyll! If you have a favorite Wyll ship and a plot you’ve been dying to write/image you’ve been dying to draw, please take this as carte blanche to do so. I love post-transformation Wyll getting used to his new appearance (and perhaps some xeno with his new body if you’re leaning smut!), Wyll being a big damn hero and rescuing people/doing the right thing even when it will put him in danger, and angst/whump about his pact with Mizora. If you want to go in a noncon/rape aftermath-and/or-recovery direction, I love the idea of Mizora being Wyll’s first sexual experience (can be dubcon or noncon) and his not wanting to sleep with characters until marriage as a trauma reaction to that

Crossovers
  • Lord Hawthorn/Alan Ross (Last Binding)/Dominic Frey/Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen),
    Lord Hawthorn/Alan Ross (Last Binding) & Dominic Frey/Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen), Alan Ross (Last Binding) & Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen) – I love these two CNC-loving historical romance couples and I think they should meet up! I realize the timelines don’t at all match up, so feel free to transport one couple to the setting of the other series, just set your work in a nebulous setting with no specifics as to era, or do whatever else you’d like to get them to meet up (time travel?). I would love to see them having sex, talking to each other (about their shared sexy interest or otherwise), or an AU where Silas is Alan’s printer


Last Binding

Last Binding series – Freya Marston

In general for this series, I love magical worldbuilding, looks at what the future holds after the big changes in the last book, outsider POVs on the relationships I’ve requested, and the ships/characters interacting with each other (and if you want to add characters or combine ships together for some threesomes/foursomes/orgies, that is also very welcome!)

Ships

  • Lord Hawthorn | Jack Alston/Alan Ross – I love the dynamic between these two, I love the betrayal and reconciliation, I love the complications the wealth gap brings, I love that Hawthorn has been reading Ross’s smut before they even meet. I would love to see more post-canon with them (especially with Ross’s family actually ending up at Hawthorn’s estate and Hawthorn interacting with them), more sex scenes and the roleplay they might get up to, or Ross making Hawthorn help him with plotting out or blocking out scenes for his erotica

  • Maud Blyth/Violet Debenham – these two have the f/f dynamic of my dreams! I love Maud’s inexperience but determination to try Everything, and Violet’s guardedness and how she gradually opens up, and the way they resolve their fights by fucking it out. I’d love to see more of them interacting post-canon now that they’re in a more normal environment than the whole “fighting against evil wizards to prevent the End Of The Magical World” and how their relationship might change, more of Maud and Violet exploring sex and kinks together (whether or not they end up actually liking those kinks), or more medium shenanigans (regular ghost conversations, or I have a weird desire for Maud and Violet to have a threesome with a ghost). If you’re doing smut, I am especially fond of genderfucky roleplay with one or both of them acting as a man for the scenario, especially with Violet’s acting skills, and anal play. And you know the scene where Hawthorn walks in on them in the third book? I would love to see what they were doing!

  • Robin Blyth/Edwin Courcey – one of my favorite things about these two is that Robin is so impressed by Edwin and his magic, and how that’s so at odds with how Edwin has been seen his entire life. I also really loved the contrast between how they see each other and how other characters see them, and I think outsider POVs for these two are especially fun. I would love more of Edwin’s magical research (especially post-canon now that magic has changed so much!) and more of the two of them interacting with Penhallick. (Also the vines in Restless Truth made me want some sexy intentional vine bondage during sex, or other sex involving Edwin interfacing with Penhallick). Also! More of Maud interacting with Robin and Edwin!


The Sleeping Soldier – Aster Glenn Gray

The Sleeping Soldier – Aster Glenn Gray

  • Russell Krause/Caleb O'Connor – I am so into time travel and I want all the fanworks about Russell exploring the 20th century and the two of them working through their respective relationship hangups together. I’d love the two of them exploring the gay scene together, sickfic with Russell getting to see more of the miracles of modern-ish medicine (the bit in the book where he was convinced he was going to die of strep was very good to me), Caleb’s further history research/time in academia (and perhaps using Russell as a secret source), or Russell working past his sodomy hangups to have fun with anal sex

  • Russell Krause/Michael Lynn/Caleb O'Connor – Listen. They should have a threesome. I don’t even have more prompts than that (other than adding Michael into any of the Russell/Caleb prompts above), I just think it would be fun! Especially if it was connected to the sodomy exploration or exploring the 60s gay scene.


Queen’s Thief – Megan Whalen Turner

Queen’s Thief – Megan Whalen Turner

Fandom-specific DNW - Attolia or Eddis having PIV sex with anyone who isn't their husbands, unless they're already pregnant at the time. Any other type of sex is fine, I just get irrationally worried about the line of succession if someone else could have possibly knocked them up!

DNW exception: works set during canon pregnancies or involving miscarriage-related h/c are welcome.

Ships

  • Attolia | Irene/Eddis | Helen/Eugenides/Sophos - Return of the Thief made me desperately want all of the monarchs in a poly relationship. Perhaps something with Attolia, Eddis, and Sophos back home worrying about Gen, or them all reuniting after their victory. I also really love the idea that they can be themselves rather than their ruler identities around each other.

  • Pheris Erondites & Eugenides, Pheris Erondites & Relius, Pheris Erondites & Kamet – I just love Pheris and his role in the narrative so much! He had such a horrific childhood, and I would really like to see him get to relax and heal post-canon. And like, the whole book is about his life in the palace adjusting to no longer being under the thumb of and hiding from his abusive family, but I always enjoy more along those lines. And while life at the palace is certainly BETTER than with his family, he's still trapped in the middle of political machinations and adult concerns that he doesn't entirely understand, and I'd love to see how that compares and contrasts to his time with his family. As well as how the war affects him, and how his relationships with the characters I selected change as he grows up! And then some specific prompts for the individual relationships:

  • Pheris Erondites & Eugenides (Queen's Thief) – I just really want to see more of them together post-canon, or something from Gen's point of view during canon. I love their relationship in canon, with Gen recognizing Pheris's true self and rescuing him from his family, but also having to involve him in the war and being harsh with him because of it.

  • Pheris Erondites & Kamet (Queen's Thief) - I really love the tutoring and relationship we see in canon and I want to see more of it! Either something set during canon or something post-canon where we see how their relationship develops as Pheris grows into adulthood. I love Relius pushing for Pheris to learn useful things while still rewarding him with mathematics in canon, and I am just very emotional about Pheris having a good mentor

  • Pheris Erondites & Relius (Queen's Thief) - I really love the tutoring and relationship we see in canon and I want to see more of it! Either something set during canon or something post-canon where we see how their relationship develops as Pheris grows into adulthood. I love Relius pushing for Pheris to learn useful things while still rewarding him with mathematics in canon, and I am just very emotional about Pheris having a good mentor

  • Attolia | Irene/Eugenides/Costis Ormentiedes - One of my favorite things about this ship is the power imbalance. Costis very clearly views Attolia and Eugenides as monarchs rather than humans, which would make his relationship with them very interesting indeed? Who invites him to bed? Do they prefer to order him around, or let him take charge? If you want to get into D/s dynamics, I have a vague headcanon that Gen is a stubborn and mouthy sub—although things with Irene are complicated now because of their history, of course (maybe that’s where Costis comes in!). I’d love to see the same themes of overcoming power imbalance in non-porny works as well. I’d also love to see more of Attolia and Costis interacting, if you’d like. We see a fair bit of Gen and Costis interacting in The King Of Attolia, but I’d love to see Costis and Irene talk, especially involved in this romantic relationship (whether as a triad or two sides of a V).

  • Attolia | Irene/Eugenides/Kamet/Costis Ormentiedes - I just love combining all my favorite ships, and I'd love to see how this would change the Attolia/Gen/Costis and Kamet/Costis dynamics, assuming you're going for a union of two established ships. I really love the Kamet&Gen dynamic in canon, perhaps it's a scheme by Gen that brings all four of them together.

  • Attolia | Irene/Eugenides/Relius (Queen's Thief) - The platonic relationship we see in the books already fascinates me (the loyalty kink! The intersection of personal and political relationships!), and I’m so here for making it explicitly romantic. I’m especially interested in Relius’s imprisonment and the aftermath, but I’d also be into pre-canon Irene/Relius that grows to incorporate Eugenides (as an Irene-centered V or a triad), or pretty much anything involving this ship. I’m also really into the mess that results from tangling duties as a monarch with personal feelings.

  • Kamet/Costis Ormentiedes (Queen's Thief) - The culture clash between these two, Kamet adapting to life as a freedman, the sharing of myths and legends, Costis's mediocre Medean...there's nothing I don't love about these two and I desperately want more shippy content for them in my life. I'd love to see Kamet telling Costis more legends, how a romantic relationship would develop in parallel to the events in TaT, or what the two of them get up to during or after Return of the Thief (especially the war from their point of view!)

  • Relius/Teleus (Queen's Thief) - I love what we see of their relationship in the books, and just really want more about them. Us seeing their relationship only from an outsider POV leaves lots of room for explorations of canon events from Relius or Teleus's POV, and I would also love to see more of their jobs. I'm also really into the relationship dynamic of Relius having many lovers and Teleus only having Relius, and would love to see something about Relius continuously returning to Teleus (or perhaps something smutty with Teleus fucking Relius after Relius comes back from another lover)


Doctrine of Labyrinths – Sarah Monette

Doctrine of Labyrinths – Sarah Monette

  • Kay Brightmore/Felix Harrowgate (Doctrine of Labyrinths) – Hello to the person who’s nommed this ship in a few exchanges! You’ve intrigued me, I keep mulling the ship over and I want to see them together. If you have a fanwork concept, please feel free to run with it! If you want more prompts, I really love ships with a culture clash, and the different attitudes towards sexuality and also towards magic are especially interesting to me. I also love post-canon works, and I want to see Felix adjust to a new country and a new life, and Kay adjusting to his disability

  • Mildmay Foxe/Any Male Character - All I want is to see Mildmay’s Big Bisexual Janus Awakening. His insistence that he’s not molly seems very tied to his past with Kholkis and I would love to see him having a trauma reaction to realizing he’s attracted to/in love with a man. I’d also love to see someone force him to lie back and enjoy himself in bed instead of being so giving (which also seems tied to his past, so you could go hurt/comfort and/or traumatic backstory exploration with that too). Mildmay’s shame about his intelligence and scar and speech difficulties and limp made me love him so much, and I would love to see a lover who maybe helps him work through some of that self-hatred. I also really love his storytelling and endless history/folklore knowledge!! And Mildmay noncon is always welcome, with rapists of any gender (caveat – I’d prefer Felix not be the rapist, unless it’s a fuck-or-die situation with Felix being forced).

  • Mildmay Foxe & Felix Harrowgate – (if you want to take any of the ideas here and make them Mildmay/Felix for my Mildmay/Any Man prompt above, feel free!) I love the way we see their relationship grow through the books, and how much better of a place they’re in by the end of the books (of course, since it’s Felix and Mildmay, they’re both still kinda fucked up), and something set anywhere along that spectrum is great. The obligation d’ame is very fun, and fanworks featuring it are fun! I also love the ghost elements of the book, and would love to see the two of them facing down more ghosts together! Also anything with trauma aftermath and/or recovery, whether it involves one of them comforting the other or them antagonizing each other further.


Band Sinister – KJ Charles

Band Sinister – KJ Charles

  • Amanda Frisby/David Martelo- I want to see more of their married life! Amanda bouncing plot troubles off of David and borrowing him to work out if an action she wants to describe is physically plausible, David coming home from an exhausting day at work and Amanda comforting him, Amanda getting used to the freedom of being away from Yarlcote for the first time since her season. And I am very interested in Amanda’s conversion to Judaism, and would love to see more about that, or just about her and David celebrating holidays together or something similar.

  • Amanda Frisby/David Martelo/Any Character – listen I just really love Amanda getting to have a fun and sexy time post-marriage to make up for her pre-marriage life, including through threesomes (or moresomes)! This can be a sexual arrangement or Amanda and/or David falling in love with someone or someones, and I’m also down for crossover characters, historical figures, and Ocs

  • Lord Corvin/Amanda Frisby/David Martelo - There's an original works ship that's been nominated for several multifandom exchanges, Crown Princess Who Was A Starving Writer In Her Former Life/Faraway King Who's A Fan Of Her Books, and I keep thinking about Princess/Faraway King/Princess’s or King’s Advisor as an AU for Amanda/Corvin/David respectively. I also want to see more Amanda & Corvin (and Amanda & Murder) interactions in a canon setting, and David being a little exasperated and a lot endeared by the antics Amanda and Corvin get up to is a great dynamic. I would also love smut with Amanda enthusiastically enlisting Corvin to help David explain to her and demonstrate all of these sex acts she’s heard vague whispers about.

  • Amanda Frisby & Lord Corvin, Lord Corvin/Amanda Frisby – I feel like Amanda and Corvin would get along like a house on fire and I really want to see more of them interacting! I love Corvin being Amanda’s biggest fan in regards to her novels, and I’d love her using him as a beta reader or asking for advice on plots or sex scenes. And for the / ship, I am fascinated by an AU where Corvin ends up marrying Amanda in a verse where she’s a little more ruined by her stay, and how that would turn out. Or a canon compliant take with the Martelos having an open relationship and Amanda and Corvin hooking up!


Doomsday Books – KJ Charles

Doomsday Books – KJ Charles

  • Laura Colefax/Odo d'Aumesty – I ended this series so unexpectedly fond of Odo, and I want to see his life post-canon! For people who don’t remember, Laura is his fiancee, the daughter of the curate he asks for help with his investigation. Based on absolutely nothing, I assume Laura and her father have a good relationship, and I’d love to see Odo’s feelings about joining like, an actually functional and loving family. I want to see the two of them nerding out about history together. I am totally down for smut and would especially love to see them doing some incredibly nerdy and intricate roleplay (possibly with one of them getting derailed correcting the other on historical inaccuracies), or something genderfucky with Odo roleplaying as a woman and/or Laura as a man

  • Lord Corvin/Luke Doomsday - I was so excited when Corvin popped up as a prior employer of Luke’s, and I want any and all fic about Luke working as Corvin’s secretary and hooking up with Corvin (plus or minus more of the Murder if you wanna add people to the ship!) I’d also love Corvin coming back into Luke’s life post-canon, and feel free to add Rufus to the ship in that case.

  • Rufus d'Aumesty/Luke Doomsday – I love these two so much will enjoy anything shippy and/or smutty about them. I love the roleplay aspects of their sex scenes in the book and would love to see them exploring further scenarios! (What if they fucked in the Mithraean temple to help Luke overcome his bad memories of almost dying...) I also love the care Luke takes with accommodating Rufus’s dyslexia, and would love to see more of them running the estate together with their complementary skillsets.

  • Berengaria d'Aumesty/Emily Doomsday – I would love to see how they got together! We see just enough of their relationship in the book to make me fall in love with them, but not nearly enough to satisfy me. I also would love to see more about Berengaria’s art and Emily modeling for her. Also, what does Emily think of Berry’s art? Is she also big into art, and they have conversations about theory and stuff, or does she just love her girlfriend’s stuff and not care so much about art in general? Emily discovering an interest and learning more about art theory/history/etc would be very fun. Also! Post-canon fic/art about the aftermath of canon! Berry has learned some very horrible things about her parents, and is also completely free from their influence for the first time! That’s a lot to deal with!

  • Joss Doomsday/Gareth Inglis - I love Gareth/Joss and am down for anything you want to write/draw about them! Pre-canon looks at their relationship and/or how they met, post-canon, fluff, fights they’ve had, smut...I am also very into the inner workings of estates and would love to see more of Gareth getting used to being a baronet and taking over from his father, and Joss continuing with his responsibilities as a Doomsday, and how those two might intersect. Also, what happens with them and their relationships with Luke in between books!


Darlene Series - caroline_easom (Web Series)

Darlene Series - caroline_easom (Web Series)

You can watch the canon here: it’s a ~40 minute Tiktok compilation on Youtube about a woman leaving her restrictive, cultlike fundamentalist Christian family to live with her girlfriend.

Ships

  • Brittany/Darlene (Darlene Series) - I am so into Darlene getting out of her restrictive family life and getting to live her best life with her girlfriend! Show me the movies, books, events, food, etc her girlfriend introduces her to. If you want to do smut, I am very here for Darlene getting to explore sex with her girlfriend, whether its' pure fluff, angst (maybe involving panic attacks or other anxiety at having sex at all, having sex with a woman, etc), or anything in between.

  • Darlene & Librarian (Darlene Series) – I want to see more of Darlene exploring her employment, education, etc options and the librarian helping her! I’m also very into moments where Darlene says something thinking it’s a Totally Normal Experience or common knowledge and then the librarian’s reaction showing her otherwise. Also! Darlene discovering her own skills and that there are things she can do that are uncommon and impressive!

  • Darlene & Divinity (Darlene Series) – We only see Darlene and Divinity interact on the day Darlene rescues Divinity from the forced marriage, and I really want to see how their relationship develops as they’re both out from their father’s control. Perhaps Darlene feels pressure to be a good big sister and have her shit together for Divinity. And Darlene has gone a lot farther in terms of deconstructing from her upbringing – I’d love to see conflicts arise from that, with Divinity still deeper into their religious beliefs. Also, we don’t see very much of the aftermath of Darlene coming out to Divinity, and I’d love to see more of that, however you want to have Divinity react!

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’m [archiveofourown.org profile] within_a_dream on AO3 and I have a tag of previous letters on this journal if you want to take a look at some of my previous requests.

I'm requesting fic and art for all fandoms/ships, and I have my AO3 account set to accept treats!
