Holly Poly 2017-18

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’m within_a_dream on AO3, and I have a tag of previous exchange letters if you’d like to get a better idea of my interests. (A note: I’ve requested fic, podfic, or art for all of my ships, but I’d be happy with extra treats of any of the types allowed by the fest.)

DNW #1: pregnancy/childbirth. I’m fine with mentions of characters being pregnant or having kids, but would prefer no detailed descriptions of pregnancy (e.g. morning sickness/other complications, the baby kicking, sex while pregnant) or childbirth. In art, I’d prefer not to see pregnant characters.

DNW #2: PIV sex. (Exceptions: Irene and Gen, Marius and Cosette, Ben and Rose, Wynonna and anyone)

I’m good with anywhere from fluff to everyone-dies angst, and any levels of gore or sexual explicitness. Most of my prompts default to a triad instead of a V, but feel free to switch up those dynamics if you’d like! I’m pretty flexible in terms of relationship configurations.

You have a blanket invitation to genderswap characters and/or write/draw characters as trans, crossover any of my requested fandoms, and use any tense or POV.

General likes include: hurt/comfort, babysitting/Accidental Baby Acquisition/characters spending time with canonical children, sexuality angst (especially if it’s resolved by makeouts/etc.), 5+1 fics, supernatural AUs (ghosts, zombies, fairies, or whatever else you’d like to throw in)

Porn-type likes include: Pretty much anything under the BDSM umbrella (especially with historical characters accidentally discovering that they like a kink), sex or sexy roleplay going hilariously wrong, sex pollen, crossdressing, oral sex and masturbation as the main event

My Smut Swap 2016 and 2017 letters may be helpful if you want to get a better idea of what kinks I like!

I've tried to include versatile prompts, but I'm not an artist or a podficcer, so apologies if I didn't succeed! Feel free to leave comments (anon or not) with questions if you'd like to get a better idea of what I like in art or podfic.

Benjamin January Mysteries - Barbara Hambly

In general, for this fandom, I love the musical aspects, and also love seeing characters interact with the children in the books. I also love getting-together stories, especially with characters overcoming fears or doubts about the relationship (do they really love me? can we really sustain such a scandalous/unconventional relationship? etc)

Chloë Viellard/Dominique Viellard/Henri Viellard

This relationship has fascinated me since we met Chloë. We saw a bit of Chloë and Minou interacting in Wet Grave, but I’d love to see more, as well as how Henri plays into things. How do the three of them negotiate their relationship (or do they just never discuss it?) I tend to ship this as a V, with Minou involved with both Chloë and Henri, and Chloë a lesbian who’s only married to Henri for convenience’s sake, but if you favor having Chloë and Henri romantically and/or sexually involved, I’m also down with that!

I’d love to see Chloë and Henri’s wedding and wedding night, perhaps compared or contrasted with Chloë/Minou, Henri/Minou, or all three of them together.

I have a firmly-held headcanon that Minou is fond of ridiculous, overexaggerated sexy roleplay…do with that what you will.

I’d also love to see domesticity with the three of them, perhaps spending an afternoon reading and/or spending time with Charmian.

Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January/Hannibal Sefton

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!

Benjamin January/Ayasha January/Hannibal Sefton

This is a new ship for me, but I couldn’t not request it when I saw someone had nominated it! I’d love to see what Ben’s like in a universe where Ayasha doesn’t die, and how he and Ayasha end up meeting Hannibal (do they still go to New Orleans? Or does Hannibal end up in Paris?) Hannibal and Ayasha interacting has the potential to be incredibly fun.

Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January/Hannibal Sefton/Ayasha January

I love the idea of Ayasha getting to interact with the rest of the cast of characters. I’d love a gift that comes up with some explanation for how Ayasha ends up in New Orleans (or how Rose and Hannibal end up in Paris), but I’d also love an AU that sidesteps Ayasha’s death entirely by setting the whole thing in modern times, a fantasy world, etc. I just really want to see how Ayasha gets along with Rose and Hannibal, and how Ben’s relationships would play out if Ayasha hadn’t died.

Ayasha January/Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January/Hannibal Sefton/Abishag Shaw, Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January/Abishag Shaw

Everything above still goes, but I’d love to see how Shaw ends up involved romantically with the rest of the ship/s. He’s not as emotionally involved with the rest of the characters in the books, and I’d love to see what got him to open himself up to a romantic relationship. An injury or other circumstances that cause him to depend on the other characters could be fun (I’m always a sucker for hurt/comfort). I’d also love to see a more tender moment with him, something romantic with the other ship members or something involving Shaw interacting with Ben and Rose’s child or nieces/nephews.

Les Misérables - All Media Types

For this fandom, I prefer canon-era fics/art: canon-compliant, canon-divergent AUs, and supernatural/etc AUs still set in 1830s Paris.

Cosette Fauchelevent/Grantaire/Marius Pontmercy

I may be sailing this ship all by myself. But hear me out—you have Cosette and Marius, surprisingly fluffy and innocent given their pasts, and then you throw in cynical, sarcastic Grantaire. I love the idea of Grantaire “corrupting” them both—either in a sexual sort of way, or just making them forget about propriety for a while. Picture the Pontmercys taking Grantaire to dinner with Gillenormand, and the absolute disaster that would result.

Or picture Marius and/or Cosette at a meeting of Les Amis, and Grantaire finding ways to distract them that infuriate everyone. Imagine Grantaire goading Marius on some philosophical topic or other until finally Marius responds, and Grantaire is thrilled that Pontmercy has grown a spine. Or imagine Grantaire deciding to try out his oratory on Cosette, and finding that she’s a keen and well-read conversationalist.

In addition to the prompts above, you could show me how they end up together, if any of them feels guilty about their relationship setup (and how they overcome said guilt), how Grantaire fits into the Pontmercys’ marriage, and/or Grantaire interacting with future Pontmercy children.

Cosette Fauchelevent/Marius Pontmercy/Éponine Thénardier

I like this ship as very fluffy, very angsty, or anywhere in between. Fluff-wise, if you want to create an AU where Éponine survives the barricades, or do some domestic scenes with the three of them (and perhaps a kid or kids?), that would be lovely!

-wise, I’d really like to see an exploration of how they end up getting together and working through all of their baggage. Cosette and Éponine both have a lot of shit to work through from their childhoods, and Marius is not quite sure what’s going on and also feeling anxious about the relationship (because what doesn’t Marius feel anxious about?), and I’d love to see the three of them brought to an emotional resolution.

Grantaire/Joly/Bossuet Laigle/Musichetta

Best-friends-turned-lovers is a great dynamic, and please picture the chaos these four could create. It would be marvelous. I tend to think of this as established J/B/M adding Grantaire, but I could also see established J/B introducing their new mistress to their friend-with-benefits Grantaire. I’d love to see something about them getting together, or domesticity/a date night.

More specific prompts: maybe they get wildly drunk and the next morning have to reconstruct their doings the previous night, a la The Hangover? Maybe Musichetta decides to put all of her boyfriends in dresses?

One request: if you write/draw the ship partying, engaging in shenanigans, etc, please give Musichetta an equal part in the ridiculousness rather than having her be “the responsible one”.

The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner

For this fandom, I prefer fic and art in the canon setting.

Attolia/Costis/Eugenides

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).

If you’re willing to delve into canon politics, I’d also love to see Gen and/or Irene training Costis for an important mission.

Costis/Kamet/Eugenides

Gen’s interactions with Kamet in Conspiracy of Kings were great, and I already ship both Costis/Kamet and Costis/Gen, so the clear next step is putting those ships together! I like this as a Costis/Gen + Costis/Kamet V, as well as a triad. I love seeing how the politics and manipulation of canon would play into romantic relationships, as well as the logistics of royalty having and hiding polyamorous relationships.

Costis/Kamet/Attolia/Eugenides

Everything for the above two relationships still goes, prompt-wise! I tend to ship this as Costis/Kamet+Costis/Attolia/Eugenides, but I’m open to other configurations as well. I would love to see Kamet reacting to established Costis/Attolia/Eugenides, and/or anything about working out the logistics of dating a guardsman who’s dating two monarchs.

Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater

I don’t really kink on underage, but I do enjoy the fumbling and conflicts that happen when teenagers date and make out and have sex, and I’m very into works that explore those aspects of the ships I’ve requested, and if you’re down to include it in your gift, I love stories about inexperience in relationships and the characters accidentally hurting each other.

Noah Czerny/Richard Gansey III/Blue Sargent

Gansey and Blue using Noah as a conduit/proxy is my favorite thing. Prompts: Blue kissing Noah and Noah passing that kiss on to Gansey, and vice versa. The three of them spooning (bonus points if Gansey's the little spoon, or if Blue and Gansey use Noah to cool down during the summer). The trio calming each other down when one gets anxious or angry or fade-y. Blue and Gansey making a Noah sandwich. Gansey taking Noah from behind as Noah eats Blue out. Noah getting to experience things he missed out on when he was alive.

Noah Czerny/Richard Gansey III/Ronan Lynch/Adam Parrish/Blue Sargent

Cuddle parties! Group naps! Everyone taking care of each other. Group makeouts and/or orgies if you're into that. Maybe something exploring how they figured out the relationship/set boundaries, and/or all of the fuckups that inevitably occur when 4 living teenagers and one teenage-ish ghost date each other. Or Blue breaking out the makeup and giving everyone makeovers. (Just...think about Blue's taste in clothes and then transfer it to makeup. I feel like the results would be amazing.)

I love the magical elements of the books, and I’d love a gift that plays with Cabeswater and/or Ronan’s dreaming. (If you’re planning on gifting me smut, I’d especially love porn featuring those elements.)

Richard Gansey III/Adam Parrish/Blue Sargent

I love the dynamics between each set of these three in canon, and would love to see them all romantically involved. I could see this starting out as one of them proposing polyamory as a way to fix all the strain that Blue breaking up with Adam and then dating Gansey caused, and (surprise) all of them dating each other fixes exactly nothing. But they work through it, and they end up being a mostly-functional triad of people who love and care for each other deeply.

I’d also love something exploring how this relationship would play out post-canon, and how their future lives fit together.

Wolf 359 (Radio)

I don’t have relationship-specific feels about this canon so much as I just want some combination of the characters in my requested ships to date, so I’m going to do something different in this section and give character-specific prompts that you can apply to the ship of your choice.

I just love all of these characters, and the idea of them coming together over all of the shit they’ve gone through on the Hephaestus that no one else could possibly understand. (I’m also totally down for fluff, though! I just love these dorks so much.)

I also love the setting, and works that incorporate space drama, zero-G, and other space elements are very welcome. A postcanon gift, exploring how the characters adapt to a post-Hephaestus and post-Goddard life, would also be amazing (and I know the canon is drawing to a close, but I don’t mind if your take on things gets jossed).

My requested ships: Doug Eiffel/Isabel Lovelace/Renée Minkowski/Hera, Isabel Lovelace/Renée Minkowski/Hera, Doug Eiffel/Isabel Lovelace/Renée Minkowski

Hera: I’m totally here for things exploring what it means to be an AI in love with humans. She wasn’t programmed for this, and the others don’t always understand what it means to be her, but Hera loves them anyway.

I’m also really into the logistics of AI/human sex. I could see Hera being either very good at dirty talk or hilariously bad. And can she rope parts of the Hephaestus into the fun so she can interact physically with her lovers?

Lovelace: The actually-an-alien plotline this season was my catnip; I love characters wondering just how human they actually are, and Lovelace’s reaction to being possessed by aliens. I’m always down for hurt/comfort involving that plot. I also love how badass she is, and how she fits in (or not) with the current Hephaestus crew when she first arrives. (If you want to do something set in previous seasons, I’ve always wanted more fanworks that capitalize on the hatemance/hatesex potential when she first arrives and is at odds with the rest of the crew.)

Minkowski: I love everything about Minkowski, from the way she holds the crew together to her love of musical theater. Her crisis of faith after shooting Maxwell was very enjoyable, and I’d love a gift that incorporates that. Or just Minkowski getting a chance to relax, or her roping the other members of the ship/s into another talent show or musical production.

Eiffel: I love Eiffel fucking up but still trying his best to be there for the others, and I love the angst potential in how much of a hold Goddard and Cutter have over him. (If you wanna write/draw/etc kink, I love Eiffel subbing.)

Timeless (TV 2016)

Rufus Carlin/Wyatt Logan/Lucy Preston

I would love either more time-travel shenanigans with the relationship as a backdrop, a getting-together work showing how the relationship gets started, or anything else. I just love this ship (and this fandom) and desperately want more fanworks.

I’d love to see a take on what might happen after the first season finale, and/or seeing the trio visiting historical periods the show hasn’t covered yet (especially non-US history, since we hit a lot of US history in the show). Especially for art, I love all the historical costumes, and would love to see the characters in fancy clothes from your favorite era.

Hurt/comfort after one of them is injured on the job is more than welcome, as is the three of them interacting in the present and perhaps the awkward moments that result from having so many shared experiences that they can never talk about with non-Mason-Industries-involved friends and relatives.

If you want to write/draw something kinky, my BDSM headcanons are: subby Wyatt, somewhat experienced dom Lucy (the fact that she’s into this surprises both Wyatt and Rufus), and formerly-vanilla Rufus who finds himself really into the idea of domming Wyatt. But that’s entirely optional, I’d be happy with any smut involving this ship.

Wynonna Earp (TV)

DNW clarifications: I'm totally fine with canon-compliant pregnancy for Wynonna Earp. I'm down for art set while Wynonna is pregnant and written smut while she's pregnant, but don't want NSFW art while she's pregnant (NSFW fic fine), or any fanworks focused entirely on pregnancy symptoms/complications/cravings/etc. Feel free to ask through the mods for clarification if any of this is vague, I know it’s a bit of a weird request given canon!

Xavier Dolls/Wynonna Earp/Doc Holliday

I generally like these three as an OT3, with Dolls and Doc as into each other as they are into Wynonna, but I can definitely be sold on a V as well.

I really love the interactions we see in canon, and would love a shippy take on canon-typical monster hunting, the triad’s first time together, or anything else you want to create.

While I love how the pregnancy plot ended in canon, the kidfic-loving part of me would also love an AU where Wynonna ends up keeping the baby, or where she, Doc, and Dolls go and visit her every so often.

The episode where Wynonna gets erased from the timeline was especially intriguing to me, and I’d love a work that sets the start of a relationship right after that point, with all three of them realizing how much they mean to each other after seeing a world where they’re not connected by Wynonna.

Porn prompt: I’m really into double penetration (whether that be two dicks in one vagina or anal and vaginal sex at the same time), and I would love to see/read that kink for this ship.
