Letter now fully updated!

Thank you for creating for me! I'm within_a_dream on AO3, and I have a tag of previous letters if you want to see more of my requests/get a better idea of what I like.

I’m requesting fic and art for all canons, fanvids for all of my visual fandoms, as well as various other media. For all canons, I’m requesting any length of fic. One 10k fic is great, many smaller fics are also great! The same goes for art – one long comic is great, as are many small doodles, or anything in between. I’ve tried to give prompts suitable to both ends of the spectrum, but if you want more detail on anything, please feel free to ask through the mods!

DNWs

Pregnancy/childbirth – canon pregnancies are fine in written works, as are plots with children that imply characters have been pregnant in the past, but I’d prefer not to see pregnant characters in art and I’d prefer no vivid descriptions of pregnancy or related conditions/side effects like morning sickness, cravings, etc

Modern/mundane AUs

A/B/O

Trans characters having PIV sex (other vaginal penetration or use of dicks is great!)

Permanent removal of genitals (temporary is fine!)

Kinks: oviposition, inflation, 24/7 D/s, breeding kink, stuffing/feederism/belly kink centered on characters gaining weight(other types of belly kink are good!)

Onscreen sex with preteen characters (CSA or sex offscreen is fine!)

Permanent unrequested character death (with an exception for interactive fiction – please feel free to kill characters in some routes!) - basically just don't kill any of my requested characters (except in IF). Anyone else dying is great!

General Likes

I love all tenses and POVs!

Where I requested individual characters, gen is great, as are any ships I didn’t DNW. Any background or secondary ships I don’t DNW are also great! I ship basically everything, so go wild

For fanvids - I am down for any style or lyrical content of music that you'd like. I love fast and rhythmic cuts that are in time to the music, but slower-paced vids are also good! I have no visual triggers

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

Internal or external homophobia

Outsider POV

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

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

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. I have no dom/sub preferences

Noncon is always welcome – 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 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)

Band Sinister - K. J. Charles

Characters/Ships

Amanda Frisby & Guy Frisby (Band Sinister) – I love these siblings so much!!! I would love to see more of their time together pre-canon, or how their relationship might change (or not) post-canon. I love how protective and supportive Guy is of Amanda and would love to see the two of the m talking about her novel as she’s writing it and pitching it to publishers. Would also love to see the two of them get to know each other’s SOs more after the events of the novel, or getting to spend time outside of Yarlcote. Or perhaps the two of them writing to each other post-canon now that they’re spending more time apart than they probably ever have before.

Amanda Frisby & Lord Corvin (Band Sinister) - I just want to see these two interact more, they seem like they would get along like a house on fire and Corvin would be a valuable resource for Amanda’s writing (although I’m sure many of his stories would be far too scandalous to be written into her novels unedited). I would really love to see Corvin serve as Amanda’s introduction to the wider world after she’s spent most of her life trapped in her home, possibly to Guy’s dismay. And I so want to see more of Corvin and Amanda talking about her first novel!

Amanda Frisby & The Murder (Band Sinister) - The glimpses we got of Amanda’s interactions with everyone in the book were so much fun, and I want to see more of her interacting with anyone or everyone! John giving her art lessons, Corvin talking to her about her writing, talking science with Harry and Sheridan...I’d love to see how the other characters’ relationships with Amanda change over time, too – when do they get comfortable enough around her to make dirty jokes, for example? How long does it take for Amanda to feel entirely at home among them?

Amanda Frisby/David Martelo (Band Sinister) - 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.

Lord Corvin/Guy Frisby/John Raven/Philip Rookwood (The Murder) - I would love to see their first few weeks/months/whatever post-book learning how they fit together. I’m totally down for fluff, but also for a bit of angst with Guy feeling insecure about his place in such a long-running relationship, Corvin and/or John feeling insecure about Philip being enthralled enough with his new beau that he leaves them behind, Philip worrying about balancing his relationships with the other three, etc. Porn-wise I would so love to see their first time having sex all together, especially if it’s Guy who initiates the foursome. I also so want to see Guy’s horizons being broadened, in all senses! I’d love to see him getting to experience more of England or possibly going abroad, and also getting to try new thigns sexually. Also – any of the characters giving Guy erotic literature! He deserves better than surreptitiously gathered unexpurgated Latin texts.

Length Opt-In: Any Nominated Fanfiction Opt-In

Medium Opt-In: 'A Softer World' style art: I just really love the Softer World style, and would love to see it for my fandoms! You can take the words from existing comics or make your own.

Medium Opt-In: Cocktail Recipes - I nommed this thinking of cocktails inspired by characters/ships, but I realized post-nominations that it could be taken as cocktail recipes that the characters have collected and possibly annotated, and I would also enjoy that! For the former, I really enjoy themed cocktails and would love to see anything inspired by this fandom! For ships, I am down for one cocktail that encompasses the whole grouping, or a group of cocktails themed after each of the members of the ship. I have pretty broad tastes, so you can go wild! For the latter, I really love in-universe writing and would love to see what you think the characters would drink. (I am not sure if cocktails were really a thing during this era, but feel free to ignore that if you wish.) Snarky comments about each others’ tastes in drinks are very welcome.

Medium Opt-In: Fanmixes – there are no genres of music I dislike, although I’m especially fond of country, folk, rap, and hip-hop. Something that incorporates music from canon era would also be fun!

Medium Opt-In: In-Universe Fan letters – so Amanda and John would both be good fits for receiving fan mail, and I would love to see
Medium Opt-In: Fanart

Medium Opt-In: Tarot Card – I really love seeing what cards you would place any given character as! For the ships, one card for each individual character is more than shippy enough for me if you’d prefer that to including the whole ship on a single card.

Medium Opt-In: Playing Card – I just love the style of playing cards and would love to see the characters as face cards, and/or a themed card back for the fandom. For the ships, one card for each individual character is more than shippy enough for me since it would be hard to include the whole ship on a single card.

Medium Opt-In: Podfic – I have read and enjoyed every single fic in the fandom tag, although I’m not sure if all of the authors allow podfic of their works (I do love podfic of my own works!)

Medium Opt-In: Epistolary – I would love any and all takes on any of my requested characters/ships writing to each other or to other characters. Corvin, John, and/or Philip keeping up with each other or other members of the Murder? Amanda and Guy writing to each other now that they don’t live together anymore, or Amanda and Corvin corresponding over her latest novel? Amanda writing to other authors? (If you’ve read Wanted, a Gentleman, a crossover where Amanda and Theodore Swann end up corresponding would be very fun!) One thing I like about historical epistolary fic with queer ships is watching how the characters write around or allude to their relationships without flat-out committing them to paper (or perhaps some of these characters would not care and would full-on sext each other by post!)

Benjamin January Mysteries – Barbara Hambly

Characters/Ships

Ayasha January/Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January (Benjamin January) – AU where Ayasha survives and both she and Ben return to New Orleans together? Ayasha somehow comes back to life? Rose ends up in Paris? Go with whatever setup you’d like to bring these three together, I would just so love to see this triad be a thing. I’ve been thinking for a while about an AU that steals the premise from Blithe Spirit, where Ben and Rose hire a medium for a séance as part of an investigation but whoops, turns out the medium is legit and now Ben’s first wife is hanging around as a ghost. (Presumably it would go a lot better than in the original play, Ayasha doesn’t seem like the type to want to break up Ben’s new marriage)

Ayasha January/Rose Vitrac January (Benjamin January) – my first thought here is an AU where Ayasha is the one who survives the cholera epidemic in place of Ben, and travels back to New Orleans perhaps as an attempt to feel closer to him. But you could use any setup you’d like! I feel like both Ayasha and Rose have a lot in common, both having rebelled against what their family wanted of them and both being very skilled in their chosen fields. I just want to see anything with them interacting/in love!

Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January/Hannibal Sefton (Benjamin January) - I love the friendship dynamic of these three in the books, and I’d love anything that expands that dynamic to a romantic relationship. I’d love to see how the three of them ended up as a triad, or any events of the books reexamined from a shippy perspective. I’d also love to see them doing science or making music or solving mysteries together, or hurt/comfort (either stemming from one of the times any of them is injured or traumatized in the books, or an original incident). Id Pro Quo made me want a "character/s travel to the Underworld to save their loved one" fic where Hannibal dies and Ben and/or Rose have to go and save him in an Orpheus-and-Eurydice-style rescue, if you want to run with that!

Chloë Viellard/Dominique Viellard (Benjamin January) - I’d love a first time fic, showing how these two came to like each other or love each other (or their first kiss or first time having sex). I also headcanon Minou as very into ridiculous sexy roleplay, and I’d love to see her trying to talk Chloë into joining her in this. I’d also love to see the two of them interacting with Charmian.

Olympe Corbier & Benjamin January (Benjamin January) – Please give me all the sibling interactions! I am very interested in seeing more of these two prior to Ben leaving for France, and/or how their relationship changed when Ben returned. I would also love to see Olympe helping with an investigation (her connections in the voodoo community are the obvious route to take there, but you can go with anything!) I also really enjoy seeing Ben interacting with Olympe’s religion, and would love to see something along those lines.

Olympe Corbier & Benjamin January & Dominique Viellard (Benjamin January) – I just really want to see all three of the January siblings interacting! I’m not sure we see much in canon of how close Minou and Olympe were pre-canon, and of course Ben barely knew Minou, so I’d love to see all three of them together once Ben returns to New Orleans, gradually getting to (re-)know each other. And perhaps solving mysteries together! Minou and Olympe both have skill sets and connections that could come in very handy for Ben (and have on different occasions in the books) and I would love to see a case that brings all three of them to work together.

Medium Opt-In: Recipe Book – I saw this and immediately thought of what sorts of recipes all of the characters would have, and what notes they might leave on a recipe book. Perhaps it starts as a gift from Gabriel and all the members of the ship comment on and modify their favorite recipes. Historical recipes are really fun, but don’t feel like you have to do a ton of research for this if you don’t want to!

Medium Opt-In: Remix - Fic Remix of my Fic, Medium Opt-In: Remix - Art Remix of my Fic – I haven’t written fic for all of these ships, but I have for some. Please feel free to go wild with your remix!

Medium Opt-In: Fanmixes - there are no genres of music I dislike, although I’m especially fond of country, folk, rap, and hip-hop. Something that incorporates music from canon era would also be fun!

Medium Opt-In: In-Universe Personal Documents – really anything would be great here! The characters’ letters to each other, Ben or Hannibal’s music, scientific notes, clothing patterns for Ayasha...

Medium Opt-In: Epistolary – I would love any and all takes on any of my requested characters/ships writing to each other or to other characters. Did Olympe and Benjamin write to each other when Ben first went to France? Love letters for romantic ships are always fun, and for historical queer ships one thing I find interesting is seeing how characters write around or allude to their relationships without stating things flat-out. In general I’m just really interested in what you think any of the characters’ writing styles would be in correspondence.

England Series – KJ Charles

Characters/ships

Archie Curtis/Daniel da Silva (England Series) - I love everything about their dynamic in the book: their differing skillsets, Daniel’s experience/Archie’s inexperience with sex, and the potential for a future doing espionage together. I would love something set post-canon with them working together if you are inclined to write/draw some spying. I would also love a look into the quieter moments of their post-book life, maybe Archie reading Daniel’s poetry or Daniel introducing Archie to his friends/the queer scene. Also if you are down for porn, I know there are one or two takes on Archie’s first time bottoming out there but I always want more of that. And if you want to write some rape recovery, I have prompts in my Consent Issues letter!

Fenella Carruth/Patricia Merton (England Series) - I am very into the idea of Fen and Pat running a bit of an investigative agency, and would love to see some casefic/art to that effect. I also loved Pat teaching Fen to shoot and would love to see more of them shooting together, and/or some gunkink porn. And I would love to see their perspectives on the events of Think of England! Also, their relationship allows for so many lovely moments of quiet intimacy and I would love to see them dressing/undressing each other, doing each other’s hair, etc.

I especially love the comedy potential of a dry rendition of events that went totally wrong, potentially with marginalia from the characters that’s less formal. And for Fen/Pat, if you want to get them in on the mission report I love AUs where they also get recruited as spies.

Medium Opt-In: Playing Card - I just love the style of playing cards and would love to see the characters as face cards, and/or a themed card back for the fandom. For the ships, one card for each individual character is more than shippy enough for me, as is putting both characters on the same card

Medium Opt-In: Disciplinary Report – listen I just want to see more of what Daniel and Archie get up to post-canon, and the myriad ways they could end up disciplined. For Pat and Fen, you could do something set at school (especially for Fen) or any jobs, or have an AU where they are also spies!

Society of Gentlemen – KJ Charles

Characters/Ships

Solo: David Cyprian – David is endlessly fascinating to me and I want so many more fanworks about him! I am always interested in seeing more of his scheming, either pre-, during, or post-canon. His relationship with Richard is always welcome, but I also want to see so much more of his friendships with Quex & Shakespeare and with Silas! And if you would like to write some David whump/noncon, I have prompts in my latest Nonconathon letter.
Dominic Frey/Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen) -I love all of their canonical kinks and sex scenes, and any smut along those lines would make me very happy. I would also be very into Silas organizing a gangbang for Dom (feel free to cross over with other K.J. Charles books, with or without changing timelines to make them fit together, or bring in OCs). I’d also love to see them reading and discussing more books together, or talking about political events during or post-canon. If you’d like to write some Dom angst or hurt/comfort, I will direct you to my Nonconathon letter.

Gabriel Ashleigh/Francis Webster (Society of Gentlemen) - I love these two, and am very sad we only got a novella that was exclusively about them. I love Ash’s golden-retriever-like personality and how it interacts with Francis’s more reserved demeanor, and I want to see all the fanworks about them! I know it’s been done in a few fics already, but I would especially love to see their reaction to Maltravers getting his hands on Ash’s letter, or the letter itself! I’d also love to see them traveling together/touring the Continent post-canon!

The Old Guard (Movie 2020)

For this fandom I DNW parent/child dynamics between Nile and the other immortals. I also DNW monogamous Nile/Booker (the ship as part of larger polyships is great!)

Feel free to keep Andy mortal or re-immortalize her, and to keep Booker exiled or welcome him back into the team. I didn’t specifically request Joe/Nicky because there are already so many wonderful fanworks about them, but you are welcome to include the ship in gifts.

I haven’t read the comics, and I prefer movie appearances and characterization where they diverge, but feel free to use any details from the comics you’d like as long as you don’t directly contradict movie canon.

In general, feel free to set works during any era, and to cross over with any fandoms! Especially historical fandoms. You can check out my AO3 or ask through the mods if you want to see if I’m familiar with a fandom, but I’m open to crossovers from any canons even if I don’t know them.

Characters/Ships

Solo: Andy – I am so incredibly fascinated by how old Andy is. If we go by comics canon, she’s been alive for over six centuries! She has seen so many empires rise and fall! She was probably around when Proto-Indo-European was spoken! What does living that long do to someone? I also love her relationship with the other immortals (past and present) and love all possible Andy ships and friendships. And adjusting to being mortal again! (Or possibly a fanwork showing how she regains her immortality.)

Solo: Booker – I love sad sack Booker and his relationship to his family and his status as the baby of the group (until Nile arrives). I can’t remember if this is movie canon or just comics, but him getting hanged for desertion and just left there resurrecting for days is so deliciously angsty and I’m here for any and all fanworks exploring that. And I’d be really into Booker having Strong Opinions about Napoleonic France, and expressing those in forum wars or strongly-worded letters to academics or something similar.

Solo: James Copley – Copley’s grief is so compelling to me and I’d love fanworks focused on it. I am also really into his research into the immortals and I would love to see any insight into his research. I also really want to see him interacting with the immortals!

Solo: Joe – I love Joe so much and I want to see everything about his life through the centuries! Also I would love to see him whumped, and then potentially comforted by Nicky and the team. Much like Booker, I would love to see him having Strong Opinions about medieval Middle Eastern scholarship, and whatever way you think he might express those opinions. Also Joe writing poetry! There are already some great fics with his poetry about Nicky being discovered but I always want more of that.

Solo: Nicky – I am repeating myself a bit here, but Nicky having Strong Opinions about medieval Christianity and/or theology in general, and arguing with people online and/or academics about it. And literally any smut is great but I am especially fond of top!Nicky

Solo: Nile Freeman – I love Nile as the outsider POV on this whole situation and I would really love to see her adjusting to life as an immortal. I’d also love to see what sort of ‘culture’ clashes could come up living with people who are centuries old, pre-canon works about her relationships with her friends/fellow soldiers, something about her meeting up with her family post-immortality (listen I know it didn’t go well for Booker but who says it won’t go better for Nile?), Nile learning new languages and fighting techniques and getting to travel the world.

Solo: Quynh – we see so little of Quynh in the movie but she is so fascinating! I want to see her life prior to the ocean, or what she does when she gets free. There is so much to adjust to after 500 years have passed – I would love to see Quynh adjusting to modern technology, etc. Quynh rejoining the group is great, Quynh Trash Party where she tortures and/or noncons whichever characters you’d like is also great. Also Quynh finding out Andy is mortal! (Possibly by grievously wounding and/or killing her)

Andy & Booker & Nile Freeman & Joe & Nicky – Team fanworks! Team fanworks! I just want everyone hanging out together or going on missions together or reminiscing about their past.

Andy & Booker & Joe & Nicky & Nile & Quynh – Everything above, but also Quynh rejoining the team!!!

Andy/Nile Freeman – Listen their first fight scene was like everything I want out of my femslash ships. I love the age/experience gap, but also that there might be some things Nile can show Andy about the modern world, or remind her about being mortal. Nile lovingly tending to Andy’s wounds is also great!

Andy/Quynh – I want alllll the pre-canon works for these two. Two ancient warriors travelling the plains together is like, an amazing ship dynamic. I am also very into the language barrier, and would love to see them learning each other’s languages when they first meet. Exploring new lands together is also great, as is sex in the blood of their enemies.

Andy/Nicky/Joe/Nile/Booker – I just want the whole team in a big tangled polyamorous relationship. Gangbangs, orgies, casual kisses after battles, different characters pairing up at different times, whichever direction you’d like to go!

Andy/Nicky/Joe/Nile/Booker/Quynh – see above, but with Quynh added into the mix after she returns from the ocean. I’d love to see her readjusting to the world and to the new dynamics among the group now that there are two new members and she’s been gone for so long.

Andy/Nicky/Joe/Quynh – I am especially thinking pre-canon with this, with the four of them hooking up/etc while traveling together. I’d love to see how the group initially comes together, or just snapshots from their life pre-Quynh’s disappearance.

Any Immortal & Any Historical Figure, Any Immortal/Any Historical Figure – listen I just want to see some fic/art/other fanworks showing any of my requested characters interacting with historical figures. We know Andy apparently hooked up with Rodin, did she have flings with any other artists? Have Joe and Nicky had a string of threesomes/moresomes over the centuries? Did Booker have a Big Bi Awakening with some turn of the century poet? Please feel free to use Quynh or Lykon as well if you would like!

Booker/James Copley – I would really love to see Booker and Copley growing close post-Booker’s exile, with Copley perhaps keeping an eye on him and that turning into something more. I would love to see them opening up about their grief to each other, or something about Booker angry with himself for caring about another mortal after how things with his family turned out

Joe/Nicky/James Copley – listen, Copley has been spending a lot of time over the years carefully chronicling the lives of the immortals. Maybe he’s developed a crush. Maybe he spends late nights in front of his conspiracy board fantasizing about being the filling in a Joe and Nicky sandwich. Maybe his wishes come to fruition?

Nile Freeman/Quynh – I realize they have literally never met but I am so into the potential here! I would love to see Quynh returning and her and Nile falling for each other (monogamous or a poly relationship with Andy are both welcome!) Nile helping Quynh learn how modern technology works and to adjust to life above water in general. Or in a completely different tack, Quynh coming out of the ocean as an evil mastermind and taking Nile captive – I love some good f/f dubcon or noncon, and I could see a dynamic where Quynh hates the rest of the group for abandoning her and continuing to take in new immortals, and takes and tortures Nile as revenge.

WB: Any – I would especially love to see you dig into the way immortality works in this universe, or if there are other immortals around that the canonical group doesn’t know about!

Medium Opt-In: Playing Card - I just love the style of playing cards and would love to see the characters as face cards, and/or a themed card back for the fandom. For the ships, one card for each individual character is more than shippy enough for me, as is putting both characters on the same card

Medium Opt-In: Tarot Card - I really love seeing what cards you would place any given character as! For the ships, one card for each individual character is more than shippy enough for me if you’d prefer that to including the whole ship on a single card.

Medium Opt-In: 'A Softer World' style art - I just really love the Softer World style, and would love to see it for my fandoms! You can take the words from existing comics or make your own.

Medium Opt-In: In-Universe Personal Documents – letters to each other during times they’re apart? Journals, notes, or diaries? Copley’s files? Anything else you can think of is great as well!

Medium Opt-In: In-Universe Psychological Evaluation Report – okay so listen I just so want to see what a psychologist would make of any of these characters. Quynh or Booker seem like the obvious choices but any of the characters are good! Does the person conducting the evaluation know about the immortality? (If so, how do they find someone who can be trusted?) What flavors of messed up are any of the characters after living through centuries of horrible deaths?

Medium Opt-In: In-Universe Academic Publication – there’s already a few great fics out there about the characters interacting with academic publications about themselves, but I want so many more. Does someone write a paper on Joe’s poetry, or the legends surrounding Andromache and Quynh? Does someone find documentation of an Asian woman being killed in English witch trials and research it? Does Nicky’s name come up in research on the Crusades? Or any of the characters reading and having Opinions on any academic publications, possibly through snarky annotations, would be delightful (I feel like Booker probably has a lot of opinions on Napoleon, for one).

Medium Opt-In: Mission Report – You can take or leave this setup, but I am imagining Copley wanting them to start writing mission reports post-movie for documentation purposes. Nile is on board, the rest of the team not so much. I would love to see what writing style you think any character/s would have, and/or who is Absolutely Done with mission reports and completely half-asses it. Also I want to see what missions they go on post-movie!

Medium Opt-In: Recipe Book – The team seems to put a decent amount of effort into cooking, and I would love to see a recipe book they’ve created filled with their favorite recipes from different regions and eras. Possibly with notes about who likes what, or arguments in the margins about how much garlic or chili or cinnamon or whatever to put in.

Medium Opt-In: Disciplinary Report – This is another thing I could see Copley instituting and everyone (except possibly Nile) being very annoyed about. Booker is an obvious choice (perhaps an AU where he isn’t exiled but they put the incident and his punishment on his ~permanent record~), but I’d love to see what the rest of the team would get up to as well!

Medium Opt-In: Reddit Text Post (Any Subreddit) – Any of the other nominated subreddits are great, but honestly I just want to see any or all of the characters on Reddit in any capacity. AITA or r/relationships posts where they are trying to write around the details of the incident (whatever you’d like that incident to be) but keep letting weird details slip and the other posters get incredibly suspicious! Joe being an avid poster on medieval Middle Eastern history on r/askhistorians but occasionally getting in trouble for uncited statements where the citation would be "I lived through it"! Booker making friends on Reddit during his exile! Any of the team hanging out in a historian’s AMA and asking very pointed questions critiquing their research! Any other subreddit you like and want to insert the characters into!

Medium Opt-In: Fanvid – I like any style of music, so feel free to go with anything for your music choice! (Although anything water-themed for Quynh would be especially fun.) I’m not super familiar with vidding, but I especially love vids with fast and rhythmic cuts and I would love any story you want to tell for any of my requested characters/ships. I’m also totally here for pulling footage from other canons the actors have appeared in if you want

Letter now fully updated!

Thank you for creating for me! I'm <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/users/within_a_dream">within_a_dream</a> on AO3, and I have <a href="https://withinadream.dreamwidth.org/tag/letter">a tag of previous letters</a> if you want to see more of my requests/get a better idea of what I like.

I’m requesting fic and art for all canons, fanvids for all of my visual fandoms, as well as various other media. For all canons, I’m requesting any length of fic. One 10k fic is great, many smaller fics are also great! The same goes for art – one long comic is great, as are many small doodles, or anything in between. I’ve tried to give prompts suitable to both ends of the spectrum, but if you want more detail on anything, please feel free to ask through the mods!

<ul><li>Pregnancy/childbirth – canon pregnancies are fine in written works, as are plots with children that imply characters have been pregnant in the past, but I’d prefer not to see pregnant characters in art and I’d prefer no vivid descriptions of pregnancy or related conditions/side effects like morning sickness, cravings, etc</li>
<li>Modern/mundane AUs</li>
<li>A/B/O</li>
<li>Trans characters having PIV sex (other vaginal penetration or use of dicks is great!)</li>
<li>Permanent removal of genitals (temporary is fine!)</li>
<li>Kinks: oviposition, inflation, 24/7 D/s, breeding kink, stuffing/feederism/belly kink centered on characters gaining weight(other types of belly kink are good!)</li>
<li>Onscreen sex with preteen characters (CSA or sex offscreen is fine!)</li>
<li>Permanent unrequested character death (with an exception for interactive fiction – please feel free to kill characters in some routes!) - basically just don't kill any of my requested characters (except in IF). Anyone else dying is great!</li></ul>

<ul><li>I love all tenses and POVs!</li>
<li>Where I requested individual characters, gen is great, as are any ships I didn’t DNW. Any background or secondary ships I don’t DNW are also great! I ship basically everything, so go wild</li>
<li>For fanvids - I am down for any style or lyrical content of music that you'd like. I love fast and rhythmic cuts that are in time to the music, but slower-paced vids are also good! I have no visual triggers</li>
<li>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)</li>
<li>Casefic, with a loose definition of "case" that encompasses mysteries for mystery fandoms, paranormal investigations for fantasy canons, espionage for spy canons, etc</li>
<li>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</li>

<ul><li>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.
<li>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.</li>
<li>My favorite words for genitals are cock and cunt, but I have no objections to whatever you’d like to use</li>
<li>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. I have no dom/sub preferences</li>
<li>Noncon is always welcome – if you want to know more about what I like in dubcon or noncon I have a <a href="https://withinadream.dreamwidth.org/10803.html#general">general list of kinks and tropes</a> here in my Consent Issues letter. I generally prefer noncon with an OC or canonical antagonist as the rapist, and "fuck or die" setups are also great!</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>Group sex, orgies, and gangbangs</li>
<li>Gunplay, especially fucking someone with a gun</li>
<li>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)</li></ul>

Band Sinister - K. J. Charles
Characters/Ships
<ul><li>Amanda Frisby & Guy Frisby (Band Sinister) – I love these siblings so much!!! I would love to see more of their time together pre-canon, or how their relationship might change (or not) post-canon. I love how protective and supportive Guy is of Amanda and would love to see the two of the m talking about her novel as she’s writing it and pitching it to publishers. Would also love to see the two of them get to know each other’s SOs more after the events of the novel, or getting to spend time outside of Yarlcote. Or perhaps the two of them writing to each other post-canon now that they’re spending more time apart than they probably ever have before.</li>
<li>Amanda Frisby & Lord Corvin (Band Sinister) - I just want to see these two interact more, they seem like they would get along like a house on fire and Corvin would be a valuable resource for Amanda’s writing (although I’m sure many of his stories would be far too scandalous to be written into her novels unedited). I would really love to see Corvin serve as Amanda’s introduction to the wider world after she’s spent most of her life trapped in her home, possibly to Guy’s dismay. And I so want to see more of Corvin and Amanda talking about her first novel!</li>
<li>Amanda Frisby & The Murder (Band Sinister) - The glimpses we got of Amanda’s interactions with everyone in the book were so much fun, and I want to see more of her interacting with anyone or everyone! John giving her art lessons, Corvin talking to her about her writing, talking science with Harry and Sheridan...I’d love to see how the other characters’ relationships with Amanda change over time, too – when do they get comfortable enough around her to make dirty jokes, for example? How long does it take for Amanda to feel entirely at home among them? </li>
<li>Amanda Frisby/David Martelo (Band Sinister) - 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.</li>
<li>Lord Corvin/Guy Frisby/John Raven/Philip Rookwood (The Murder) - I would love to see their first few weeks/months/whatever post-book learning how they fit together. I’m totally down for fluff, but also for a bit of angst with Guy feeling insecure about his place in such a long-running relationship, Corvin and/or John feeling insecure about Philip being enthralled enough with his new beau that he leaves them behind, Philip worrying about balancing his relationships with the other three, etc. Porn-wise I would so love to see their first time having sex all together, especially if it’s Guy who initiates the foursome. I also so want to see Guy’s horizons being broadened, in all senses! I’d love to see him getting to experience more of England or possibly going abroad, and also getting to try new thigns sexually. Also – any of the characters giving Guy erotic literature! He deserves better than surreptitiously gathered unexpurgated Latin texts.</li></ul>

<li>Medium Opt-In: Cocktail Recipes - I nommed this thinking of cocktails inspired by characters/ships, but I realized post-nominations that it could be taken as cocktail recipes that the characters have collected and possibly annotated, and I would also enjoy that! For the former, I really enjoy themed cocktails and would love to see anything inspired by this fandom! For ships, I am down for one cocktail that encompasses the whole grouping, or a group of cocktails themed after each of the members of the ship. I have pretty broad tastes, so you can go wild! For the latter, I really love in-universe writing and would love to see what you think the characters would drink.

<li>Medium Opt-In: Epistolary – I would love any and all takes on any of my requested characters/ships writing to each other or to other characters. Corvin, John, and/or Philip keeping up with each other or other members of the Murder? Amanda and Guy writing to each other now that they don’t live together anymore, or Amanda and Corvin corresponding over her latest novel? Amanda writing to other authors? (If you’ve read Wanted, a Gentleman, a crossover where Amanda and Theodore Swann end up corresponding would be very fun!) One thing I like about historical epistolary fic with queer ships is watching how the characters write around or allude to their relationships without flat-out committing them to paper (or perhaps some of these characters would not care and would full-on sext each other by post!)</li></ul>

Benjamin January Mysteries – Barbara Hambly
Characters/Ships
<ul><li>Ayasha January/Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January (Benjamin January) – AU where Ayasha survives and both she and Ben return to New Orleans together? Ayasha somehow comes back to life? Rose ends up in Paris? Go with whatever setup you’d like to bring these three together, I would just so love to see this triad be a thing. I’ve been thinking for a while about an AU that steals the premise from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blithe_Spirit_(play)>Blithe Spirit">Blithe Spirit</a>, where Ben and Rose hire a medium for a séance as part of an investigation but whoops, turns out the medium is legit and now Ben’s first wife is hanging around as a ghost. (Presumably it would go a lot better than in the original play, Ayasha doesn’t seem like the type to want to break up Ben’s new marriage)</li>
<li>Ayasha January/Rose Vitrac January (Benjamin January) – my first thought here is an AU where Ayasha is the one who survives the cholera epidemic in place of Ben, and travels back to New Orleans perhaps as an attempt to feel closer to him. But you could use any setup you’d like! I feel like both Ayasha and Rose have a lot in common, both having rebelled against what their family wanted of them and both being very skilled in their chosen fields. I just want to see anything with them interacting/in love!</li>
<li>Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January/Hannibal Sefton (Benjamin January) - I love the friendship dynamic of these three in the books, and I’d love anything that expands that dynamic to a romantic relationship. I’d love to see how the three of them ended up as a triad, or any events of the books reexamined from a shippy perspective. I’d also love to see them doing science or making music or solving mysteries together, or hurt/comfort (either stemming from one of the times any of them is injured or traumatized in the books, or an original incident). Id Pro Quo made me want a "character/s travel to the Underworld to save their loved one" fic where Hannibal dies and Ben and/or Rose have to go and save him in an Orpheus-and-Eurydice-style rescue, if you want to run with that!</li>
<li>Chloë Viellard/Dominique Viellard (Benjamin January) - I’d love a first time fic, showing how these two came to like each other or love each other (or their first kiss or first time having sex). I also headcanon Minou as very into ridiculous sexy roleplay, and I’d love to see her trying to talk Chloë into joining her in this. I’d also love to see the two of them interacting with Charmian.</li>
<li>Olympe Corbier & Benjamin January (Benjamin January) – Please give me all the sibling interactions! I am very interested in seeing more of these two prior to Ben leaving for France, and/or how their relationship changed when Ben returned. I would also love to see Olympe helping with an investigation (her connections in the voodoo community are the obvious route to take there, but you can go with anything!) I also really enjoy seeing Ben interacting with Olympe’s religion, and would love to see something along those lines.</li>
<li>Olympe Corbier & Benjamin January & Dominique Viellard (Benjamin January) – I just really want to see all three of the January siblings interacting! I’m not sure we see much in canon of how close Minou and Olympe were pre-canon, and of course Ben barely knew Minou, so I’d love to see all three of them together once Ben returns to New Orleans, gradually getting to (re-)know each other. And perhaps solving mysteries together! Minou and Olympe both have skill sets and connections that could come in very handy for Ben (and have on different occasions in the books) and I would love to see a case that brings all three of them to work together.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Length Opt-In: Any Nominated Fanfiction Opt-In</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Recipe Book – I saw this and immediately thought of what sorts of recipes all of the characters would have, and what notes they might leave on a recipe book. Perhaps it starts as a gift from Gabriel and all the members of the ship comment on and modify their favorite recipes. Historical recipes are really fun, but don’t feel like you have to do a ton of research for this if you don’t want to!</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Remix - Fic Remix of my Fic, Medium Opt-In: Remix - Art Remix of my Fic – I haven’t written fic for all of these ships, but I have for some. Please feel free to go wild with your remix!</li>

<li>Medium Opt-In: In-Universe Personal Documents – really anything would be great here! The characters’ letters to each other, Ben or Hannibal’s music, scientific notes, clothing patterns for Ayasha...</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Epistolary – I would love any and all takes on any of my requested characters/ships writing to each other or to other characters. Did Olympe and Benjamin write to each other when Ben first went to France? Love letters for romantic ships are always fun, and for historical queer ships one thing I find interesting is seeing how characters write around or allude to their relationships without stating things flat-out. In general I’m just really interested in what you think any of the characters’ writing styles would be in correspondence.</li>

<li>Medium Opt-In: Tarot Card - I really love seeing what cards you would place any given character as! For the ships, one card for each individual character is more than shippy enough for me if you’d prefer that to including the whole ship on a single card.</li>

<a name="England"></a>
England Series – KJ Charles
Characters/ships
<ul><li>Archie Curtis/Daniel da Silva (England Series) - I love everything about their dynamic in the book: their differing skillsets, Daniel’s experience/Archie’s inexperience with sex, and the potential for a future doing espionage together. I would love something set post-canon with them working together if you are inclined to write/draw some spying. I would also love a look into the quieter moments of their post-book life, maybe Archie reading Daniel’s poetry or Daniel introducing Archie to his friends/the queer scene. Also if you are down for porn, I know there are one or two takes on Archie’s first time bottoming out there but I always want more of that. And if you want to write some rape recovery, I have prompts in my <a href="https://withinadream.dreamwidth.org/10803.html">Consent Issues letter</a>!</li>
<li>Fenella Carruth/Patricia Merton (England Series) - I am very into the idea of Fen and Pat running a bit of an investigative agency, and would love to see some casefic/art to that effect. I also loved Pat teaching Fen to shoot and would love to see more of them shooting together, and/or some gunkink porn. And I would love to see their perspectives on the events of Think of England! Also, their relationship allows for so many lovely moments of quiet intimacy and I would love to see them dressing/undressing each other, doing each other’s hair, etc. </li></ul>

<li>Medium Opt-In: Mission Report – I will love anything that gives me more espionage for this fandom! I especially love the comedy potential of a dry rendition of events that went totally wrong, potentially with marginalia from the characters that’s less formal. And for Fen/Pat, if you want to get them in on the mission report I love AUs where they also get recruited as spies.</li>

Society of Gentlemen – KJ Charles
Characters/Ships
<ul><li>Solo: David Cyprian – David is endlessly fascinating to me and I want so many more fanworks about him! I am always interested in seeing more of his scheming, either pre-, during, or post-canon. His relationship with Richard is always welcome, but I also want to see so much more of his friendships with Quex & Shakespeare and with Silas! And if you would like to write some David whump/noncon, I have prompts in <a href="https://withinadream.dreamwidth.org/18382.html">my latest Nonconathon letter.</a>
<li>Dominic Frey/Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen) -I love all of their canonical kinks and sex scenes, and any smut along those lines would make me very happy. I would also be very into Silas organizing a gangbang for Dom (feel free to cross over with other K.J. Charles books, with or without changing timelines to make them fit together, or bring in OCs). I’d also love to see them reading and discussing more books together, or talking about political events during or post-canon. If you’d like to write some Dom angst or hurt/comfort, I will direct you to my <a href="https://withinadream.dreamwidth.org/13850.html">Nonconathon letter</a>. </li>
<li>Gabriel Ashleigh/Francis Webster (Society of Gentlemen) - I love these two, and am very sad we only got a novella that was exclusively about them. I love Ash’s golden-retriever-like personality and how it interacts with Francis’s more reserved demeanor, and I want to see all the fanworks about them! I know it’s been done in a few fics already, but I would especially love to see their reaction to Maltravers getting his hands on Ash’s letter, or the letter itself! I’d also love to see them traveling together/touring the Continent post-canon!</li></ul>

I’d also love to see something like Silas’s writing, or maybe a series of gifted books with inscriptions between Silas and Dom or Dom and Richard. Or really anything else you can think of!</li></ul>

The Old Guard (Movie 2020)

For this fandom I DNW parent/child dynamics between Nile and the other immortals. I also DNW monogamous Nile/Booker (the ship as part of larger polyships is great!)
Feel free to keep Andy mortal or re-immortalize her, and to keep Booker exiled or welcome him back into the team. I didn’t specifically request Joe/Nicky because there are already so many wonderful fanworks about them, but you are welcome to include the ship in gifts.
I haven’t read the comics, and I prefer movie appearances and characterization where they diverge, but feel free to use any details from the comics you’d like as long as you don’t directly contradict movie canon.
In general, feel free to set works during any era, and to cross over with any fandoms! Especially historical fandoms. You can check out my AO3 or ask through the mods if you want to see if I’m familiar with a fandom, but I’m open to crossovers from any canons even if I don’t know them.
Characters/Ships
<ul><li>Solo: Andy – I am so incredibly fascinated by how old Andy is. If we go by comics canon, she’s been alive for over six centuries! She has seen so many empires rise and fall! She was probably around when Proto-Indo-European was spoken! What does living that long do to someone? I also love her relationship with the other immortals (past and present) and love all possible Andy ships and friendships. And adjusting to being mortal again! (Or possibly a fanwork showing how she regains her immortality.)</li>
<li>Solo: Booker – I love sad sack Booker and his relationship to his family and his status as the baby of the group (until Nile arrives). I can’t remember if this is movie canon or just comics, but him getting hanged for desertion and just left there resurrecting for days is so deliciously angsty and I’m here for any and all fanworks exploring that. And I’d be really into Booker having Strong Opinions about Napoleonic France, and expressing those in forum wars or strongly-worded letters to academics or something similar.</li>
<li>Solo: James Copley – Copley’s grief is so compelling to me and I’d love fanworks focused on it. I am also really into his research into the immortals and I would love to see any insight into his research. I also really want to see him interacting with the immortals!</li>
<li>Solo: Joe – I love Joe so much and I want to see everything about his life through the centuries! Also I would love to see him whumped, and then potentially comforted by Nicky and the team. Much like Booker, I would love to see him having Strong Opinions about medieval Middle Eastern scholarship, and whatever way you think he might express those opinions. Also Joe writing poetry! There are already some great fics with his poetry about Nicky being discovered but I always want more of that.</li>
<li>Solo: Nicky – I am repeating myself a bit here, but Nicky having Strong Opinions about medieval Christianity and/or theology in general, and arguing with people online and/or academics about it. And literally any smut is great but I am especially fond of top!Nicky</li>
<li>Solo: Nile Freeman – I love Nile as the outsider POV on this whole situation and I would really love to see her adjusting to life as an immortal. I’d also love to see what sort of ‘culture’ clashes could come up living with people who are centuries old, pre-canon works about her relationships with her friends/fellow soldiers, something about her meeting up with her family post-immortality (listen I know it didn’t go well for Booker but who says it won’t go better for Nile?), Nile learning new languages and fighting techniques and getting to travel the world.</li>
<li>Solo: Quynh – we see so little of Quynh in the movie but she is so fascinating! I want to see her life prior to the ocean, or what she does when she gets free. There is so much to adjust to after 500 years have passed – I would love to see Quynh adjusting to modern technology, etc. Quynh rejoining the group is great, Quynh Trash Party where she tortures and/or noncons whichever characters you’d like is also great. Also Quynh finding out Andy is mortal! (Possibly by grievously wounding and/or killing her)</li>
<li>Andy & Booker & Nile Freeman & Joe & Nicky – Team fanworks! Team fanworks! I just want everyone hanging out together or going on missions together or reminiscing about their past.</li>
<li>Andy & Booker & Joe & Nicky & Nile & Quynh – Everything above, but also Quynh rejoining the team!!!</li>
<li>Andy/Nile Freeman – Listen their first fight scene was like everything I want out of my femslash ships. I love the age/experience gap, but also that there might be some things Nile can show Andy about the modern world, or remind her about being mortal. Nile lovingly tending to Andy’s wounds is also great!</li>
<li>Andy/Quynh – I want alllll the pre-canon works for these two. Two ancient warriors travelling the plains together is like, an amazing ship dynamic. I am also very into the language barrier, and would love to see them learning each other’s languages when they first meet. Exploring new lands together is also great, as is sex in the blood of their enemies.</li>
<li>Andy/Nicky/Joe/Nile/Booker – I just want the whole team in a big tangled polyamorous relationship. Gangbangs, orgies, casual kisses after battles, different characters pairing up at different times, whichever direction you’d like to go!</li>
<li>Andy/Nicky/Joe/Nile/Booker/Quynh – see above, but with Quynh added into the mix after she returns from the ocean. I’d love to see her readjusting to the world and to the new dynamics among the group now that there are two new members and she’s been gone for so long.</li>
<li>Andy/Nicky/Joe/Quynh – I am especially thinking pre-canon with this, with the four of them hooking up/etc while traveling together. I’d love to see how the group initially comes together, or just snapshots from their life pre-Quynh’s disappearance.</li>
<li>Any Immortal & Any Historical Figure, Any Immortal/Any Historical Figure – listen I just want to see some fic/art/other fanworks showing any of my requested characters interacting with historical figures. We know Andy apparently hooked up with Rodin, did she have flings with any other artists? Have Joe and Nicky had a string of threesomes/moresomes over the centuries? Did Booker have a Big Bi Awakening with some turn of the century poet? Please feel free to use Quynh or Lykon as well if you would like! </li>
<li>Booker/James Copley – I would really love to see Booker and Copley growing close post-Booker’s exile, with Copley perhaps keeping an eye on him and that turning into something more. I would love to see them opening up about their grief to each other, or something about Booker angry with himself for caring about another mortal after how things with his family turned out</li>
<li>Joe/Nicky/James Copley – listen, Copley has been spending a lot of time over the years carefully chronicling the lives of the immortals. Maybe he’s developed a crush. Maybe he spends late nights in front of his conspiracy board fantasizing about being the filling in a Joe and Nicky sandwich. Maybe his wishes come to fruition? </li>
<li>Nile Freeman/Quynh – I realize they have literally never met but I am so into the potential here! I would love to see Quynh returning and her and Nile falling for each other (monogamous or a poly relationship with Andy are both welcome!) Nile helping Quynh learn how modern technology works and to adjust to life above water in general. Or in a completely different tack, Quynh coming out of the ocean as an evil mastermind and taking Nile captive – I love some good f/f dubcon or noncon, and I could see a dynamic where Quynh hates the rest of the group for abandoning her and continuing to take in new immortals, and takes and tortures Nile as revenge.</li>
<li>WB: Any – I would especially love to see you dig into the way immortality works in this universe, or if there are other immortals around that the canonical group doesn’t know about!</li></ul>

Mediums
<ul><li>Medium Opt-In: Fanmixes - there are no genres of music I dislike, although I’m especially fond of country, folk, rap, and hip-hop. Something that incorporates music from various eras the characters have lived through would also be fun!</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Fanart</li>
<li>Length Opt-In: Any Nominated Fanfiction Opt-In</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Cocktail Recipes - I nommed this thinking of cocktails inspired by characters/ships, but I realized post-nominations that it could be taken as cocktail recipes that the characters have collected and possibly annotated, and I would also enjoy that! For the former, I really enjoy themed cocktails and would love to see anything inspired by this fandom! For ships, I am down for one cocktail that encompasses the whole grouping, or a group of cocktails themed after each of the members of the ship. I have pretty broad tastes, so you can go wild! For the latter, I really love in-universe writing and would love to see what you think the characters would drink. Snarky comments about each others’ tastes in drinks are very welcome.</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Playing Card - I just love the style of playing cards and would love to see the characters as face cards, and/or a themed card back for the fandom. For the ships, one card for each individual character is more than shippy enough for me, as is putting both characters on the same card</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Tarot Card - I really love seeing what cards you would place any given character as! For the ships, one card for each individual character is more than shippy enough for me if you’d prefer that to including the whole ship on a single card.</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: 'A Softer World' style art - I just really love the Softer World style, and would love to see it for my fandoms! You can take the words from existing comics or make your own.</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: In-Universe Personal Documents – letters to each other during times they’re apart? Journals, notes, or diaries? Copley’s files? Anything else you can think of is great as well!</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: In-Universe Psychological Evaluation Report – okay so listen I just so want to see what a psychologist would make of any of these characters. Quynh or Booker seem like the obvious choices but any of the characters are good! Does the person conducting the evaluation know about the immortality? (If so, how do they find someone who can be trusted?) What flavors of messed up are any of the characters after living through centuries of horrible deaths?</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: In-Universe Academic Publication – there’s already a few great fics out there about the characters interacting with academic publications about themselves, but I want so many more. Does someone write a paper on Joe’s poetry, or the legends surrounding Andromache and Quynh? Does someone find documentation of an Asian woman being killed in English witch trials and research it? Does Nicky’s name come up in research on the Crusades? Or any of the characters reading and having Opinions on any academic publications, possibly through snarky annotations, would be delightful (I feel like Booker probably has a lot of opinions on Napoleon, for one).</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Mission Report – You can take or leave this setup, but I am imagining Copley wanting them to start writing mission reports post-movie for documentation purposes. Nile is on board, the rest of the team not so much. I would love to see what writing style you think any character/s would have, and/or who is Absolutely Done with mission reports and completely half-asses it. Also I want to see what missions they go on post-movie!</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Recipe Book – The team seems to put a decent amount of effort into cooking, and I would love to see a recipe book they’ve created filled with their favorite recipes from different regions and eras. Possibly with notes about who likes what, or arguments in the margins about how much garlic or chili or cinnamon or whatever to put in.</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Disciplinary Report – This is another thing I could see Copley instituting and everyone (except possibly Nile) being very annoyed about. Booker is an obvious choice (perhaps an AU where he isn’t exiled but they put the incident and his punishment on his ~permanent record~), but I’d love to see what the rest of the team would get up to as well!</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Reddit Text Post (Any Subreddit) – Any of the other nominated subreddits are great, but honestly I just want to see any or all of the characters on Reddit in any capacity. AITA or r/relationships posts where they are trying to write around the details of the incident (whatever you’d like that incident to be) but keep letting weird details slip and the other posters get incredibly suspicious! Joe being an avid poster on medieval Middle Eastern history on r/askhistorians but occasionally getting in trouble for uncited statements where the citation would be "I lived through it"! Booker making friends on Reddit during his exile! Any of the team hanging out in a historian’s AMA and asking very pointed questions critiquing their research! Any other subreddit you like and want to insert the characters into!</li>
<li>Medium Opt-In: Fanvid – I like any style of music, so feel free to go with anything for your music choice! (Although anything water-themed for Quynh would be especially fun.) I’m not super familiar with vidding, but I especially love vids with fast and rhythmic cuts and I would love any story you want to tell for any of my requested characters/ships. I’m also totally here for pulling footage from other canons the actors have appeared in if you want</li></ul>

The Will Darling Adventures – KJ Charles
Ships
<ul><li>Maisie Jones/Phoebe Stephens-Prince (The Will Darling Adventures) - I am so in love with these two, and I dearly hope we get a spin-off novel. And plenty of fanworks! I am very into Maisie assuming Phoebe is straight and that her pining will be forever unrequited, only to have Phoebe casually mention an ex-girlfriend (perhaps during her campaign to make sure Maisie is all right with queer people during book 2). Phoebe and Maisie bonding over clothes design is also delightful. Maisie designing dresses for Phoebe, or perhaps lingerie for Phoebe, and perhaps getting jealous of the men who will see Phoebe in them/take them off of Phoebe. And both of them dealing with the aftermath of the trilogy would also be wonderful, they've both gone through so much!</li>
<li>Will Darling/Kim Secretan (The Will Darling Adventures) – First off, I'd love to see more from Kim's POV. I'd also love to see something post-canon, either the two of them relaxing together or getting wrapped up in more conspiracies. I'd also love to see the two of them gifting each other books! Also, there's already one amazing fic about Will giving bottoming another try post-canon but I would always love more fanworks along that line.</li></ul>

Jungle Cruise
I went into this movie expecting an entertaining way to spend 2 hours in an air-conditioned building, and somehow came out feeling incredibly fannish about it. Please, help me fill the dearth of fanworks! In addition to my requested ships, feel free to ship any of my requested solo characters with OCs, although I'd prefer F/F or M/M (except for pre-canon with Frank, in which case M/F is also good). Canon-typical Frank/Lily is good, but I'd prefer there's more to any gifts about them than just pure shippiness (e.g. a fic where Frank and Lily travel the world where they're together is good, a fic that's 100% Frank/Lily makeouts is not so much what I'm looking for)
Ships
<ul><li>Solo: Frank Wolff (Jungle Cruise 2021) – I really love immortal characters, and Frank spending so long trapped on the Amazon opens up a great opportunity for fanworks about him exploring the "modern" world! I loved the glimpse we got at the end of the movie of Lily teaching him how to drive, and I'd love to see him explore more of the world and 20th century technology with Lily and/or MacGregor. There's also so much backstory to explore! Show me him watching the city and its people grow and change while he's stuck, or show me his pre-immortality life!</li>
<li>Solo: Lily Houghton (Jungle Cruise 2021) – I am very weak for women scientists and explorers, and I want to see more of her adventures, either pre- or post-canon! I'd love to see what she turns her attention to after her quest for the Tree of Life, or more of her relationship with MacGregor</li>
<li>Solo: MacGregor Houghton (Jungle Cruise 2021) – I'd love to see more of MacGregor's disastrous trips abroad, or him more in his element back in England (perhaps seducing a man or two?)</li>
<li>MacGregor Houghton/Frank Wolff (Jungle Cruise 2021) – Listen...what if after MacGregor telling Frank that his interests lie elsewhere...they kiss...I'd also love to see Frank traveling and sending letters or postcards back to MacGregor, and perhaps their reunions when Frank returns from his travels</li>
<li>Lily Houghton/MacGregor Houghton/Frank Wolff (Jungle Cruise 2021) – My MacGregor/Frank prompts also work here. I'd love to see Lily and Frank traveling together and sending letters/postcards back to MacGregor, and I'd also love to see an OT3 origin story. You can get as much or as little incestuous as you want, from threesomes to a poly V with Frank at the center</li>
<li>Lope de Aguirre/Frank Wolff (Jungle Cruise 2021) – I just think it would be neat if before Lope's and Frank's betrayals of each other, they had kissed. There's a whole past together to explore, or you could do something fraught post-curse (perhaps sex that turns into murder?)</li></ul>

The Green Knight (Movie 2021)
I'm only familiar with other Arthurian canon by osmosis, but feel free to draw from any other works that you'd like!
DNW Exception - Character death is fine for this fandom
Ships
<ul><li>Gawain/The Lady/The Lord (The Green Knight 2021), Gawain/The Lord (The Green Knight 2021) - By the terms of their deal, Gawain owes the Lord some sex, just saying...I would love to see anything that takes Gawain and the Lord's relationship further than the one (delightful) kiss we got, with or without the Lady present</li>
<li>Gawain/The Scavenger (The Green Knight 2021) – Listen there was some real sexual tension between these two. I desperately want some weird noncon while Gawain is tied up! (I was very pleased to see one fic to this effect in the tag right after I finished the movie, but I want allll the noncon)</li>
<li>Solo: Essel (The Green Knight 2021) – we only see her life where it overlaps with Gawain's, and I want to see the other parts! Perhaps what she does when she's waiting for Gawain to come back from his quest, or her view on the events of Gawain's premonition (her child being taken especially)</li>
<li>Solo: Gawain (The Green Knight 2021) – Pre-canon works are great, more quests are great, your view on what happens post-canon is great! Just go wild</li>
<li>Solo: Saint Winifred (The Green Knight 2021) – I have only known Saint Winifred for 5 minutes of screentime but I love her. Give me your interpretation of how she lost her head (you can use Catholic canon or make your own up, and feel free to add some noncon in if you'd like), give me some saintly art of her, show me if she's encountered other travelers aside from Gawain, anything you like!</li>
<li>WB: Any (The Green Knight 2021) – the world that the movie sets up is so weird and fun, I would love your take on literally anything about it! Show me politics, or wars, or more quests, or anything you like</li>
<li>WB: Magic (The Green Knight 2021) – so Gawain's mother's magic was fascinating, as was the Green Knight, and I'd love a dive into how any of it works</li>
<li>WB: Saints (The Green Knight 2021) – I've always been a sucker for saints, and the appearance of Saint Winifred in the movie was an unexpected delight. I love how present she is in the world (I've always loved how close to Earth medieval saints and miracles were), and I love that she's halfway between a saint and a ghost. Feel free to grab existing saints or make up your own, and please feel free to get a little or a lot sacrilegious with it if you'd like (saint smut is very welcome!)</li></ul>

Doctrine of Labyrinths – Sarah Monette
Ships
<ul><li>Kay Brightmore/Mildmay Foxe (DoL – Monette) - Okay I loved their first interactions in Corambis (face-touching! Mildmay reading to Kay!) and I really want to see them fall for each other. The cultural differences in how sexuality is viewed seem like they could lead to a fun ship dynamic, with Kay feeling more guilty about the romantic feelings and Mildmay feeling more guilty about the sex. And I would just really love to see more of them interacting post-canon, and both of them ending up happier!</li>
<li>Mildmay Foxe/Any Male Character (DoL – Monette) All I want is to see Mildmay’s Big <s>Bisexual</s> 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!! Mildmay noncon is also very welcome (I'd prefer Felix not be the rapist, although fuck or die is great)</li>
<li>Mildmay Foxe/Felix Harrowgate (DoL – Monette) - I love these two anywhere on the spectrum from fully consensual to fuck-or-die (although I’d prefer no Felix raping Mildmay of his own volition or vice versa). The obligation d’ame is very fertile grounds for some soulbond-sex, I’d love to see sex while they’re bonded. I am also especially into post-canon-set works – 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). I also love the ghost elements of the book, and would love to see the two of them facing down more ghosts together!</li>
<li>Mildmay Foxe & Felix Harrowgate (DoL – Monette) – As with the shippy version, I'd love to see how their relationship grows post-canon. I'd also love to see them face down ghosts or magical shenanigans together. Something more antagonistic is also very welcome!</li>
<li>Solo: Felix Harrowgate (DoL – Monette) – I love Felix in all of his bastardry and I would love to see works about him set anywhere pre-, during, or post-canon. Gen is great, as is shipfic or smut about any canonical or noncanonical relationships. I realize canon already whumps him a lot (some might say too much) but I am always down for more whump! I'd also love to see his life post-canon, and would love a version of the story where he gets to keep teaching.</li>
<li>Solo: Mildmay Foxe (DoL – Monette) – I love how broad Mildmay's historical and folkloric knowledge is, and how insecure he is about his intelligence. I love his issues with his speech difficulties and bad leg, and his unhealthy devotion to pleasing his partner during sex at his own expense. I just want to see him happy post-canon, or alternatively see him whumped!</li>
<li>WB: Any (DoL – Monette) – I love everything about the worldbuilding in this series: the ghosts, the folklore, the religions, the magic, the history, the politics, the cultural differences between the countries we see. I want to see anything you want to give me! Maybe through the lens of one of my requested characters talking or writing about a topic of your choice, maybe textbooks or academic papers, maybe some folk tales. Or anything else you can come up with!</li></ul>

<li>Medium Opt In: Illustrated Text (Art & Writing) - In-Universe Academic Publication, Medium Opt In: Illustrated Text (Art & Writing) - In-Universe Scientific Documents, Medium Opt In: Writing - In-Universe Academic Publication – I'd love to see something academic that ties into the worldbuilding of the series. I was especially interested in the bog mummy we saw in Corambis if you'd like to do something more with that!</li>
<li>Medium Opt In: Instructions - Cocktail Recipes - I nommed this thinking of cocktails inspired by characters/ships, but I realized post-nominations that it could be taken as cocktail recipes that the characters have collected and possibly annotated, and I would also enjoy that! For the former, I really enjoy themed cocktails and would love to see anything inspired by this fandom! For ships, I am down for one cocktail that encompasses the whole grouping, or a group of cocktails themed after each of the members of the ship. I have pretty broad tastes, so you can go wild! For the latter, I really love in-universe writing and would love to see what you think the characters would drink. Snarky comments about each others’ tastes in drinks are very welcome.</li>
<li>Medium Opt In: Unique Rules - Interactive Fiction - Web-based choice-based IF not hosted on AO3, Medium Opt In: Writing - Interactive Fiction - AO3 style Choose Your Own Adventure </li>
<li>Medium Opt In: Writing - In-Universe Personal Documents – lecture notes, journals, letters, research notes, whatever you'd like!</li>
<li>Medium Opt In: Writing - Ship Manifesto (the relationship kind) – I would love to hear you wax poetic on any of the ships I've requested, or any ships at all involving Felix or Mildmay!</li></ul>

Fear Street (Trilogy)
Ships
<ul><li>WB: Any (Fear Street) – the world set up by the movies is so fun! I want to see more about the deal with the devil, the history of the cities, the way the possession/resurrection of killers works, or anything you'd like!</li>
<li>WB: History of Shadyside and Sunnyvale (Fear Street) – I so desperately want to see more of the Shadyside killings. Please feel free to make up OC killers (Jazz Age? Great Depression? Revolutionary or Civil War? Pick your favorite era) or explore the ones we saw in the show. Newspaper articles, history books, conspiracy message boards, or any other in-universe documents would be great!</li>
<li>Samantha "Sam" Fraser/Deena Johnson (Fear Street) – I fell very hard for these two and I would love to see more works about them. Pre-canon exploring how they got together? Post-canon with them taking down the mayor?</li></ul>
