Little Black Dress Exchange 2023

[withinadream]

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

I’m requesting fic and art for all ships

Please feel free to write or draw literally anything you’d like (barring my DNWs, of course)! I’m the multiest of multishippers and I have very few tropes or plots that I dislike. I’m very excited to see what ships you come up with.

DNWs:

• Noncanonical pregnancy/childbirth, oviposition


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


• Oviposition


• Modern/mundane AUs


• Characters under 15 in ships – no need to state the age in the narrative, just don’t make them obviously under 15 (some exceptions in requests)


• Readerfic

Opt-ins: These are just some often-disliked things that you can feel free to put in your gift if you would like!

• Crossovers – with the caveat that I’d like you to put crossover characters in the universe of my LBD character rather than the other way around – e.g. Harry Potter as a 19th century French revolutionary for my Les Mis request is great, my Les Mis LBD/s as Hogwarts students is not


• OC ships


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


• Aromantic/no-romo/friends-with-benefits/etc takes on ships


• Breakups, either pre-fic/art or during the fic/art


• Multiple ships in one gift


• Infidelity


• Past relationships, with characters of any gender (not just the gender combos I’ve requested)


• Any kinks not in my DNWs


• Rule 63-ing any male characters to facilitate femslash, or making any characters nonbinary (I would prefer no rule 63-ing for the purposes of m/f or m/m, and please keep canonically nonbinary characters nonbinary)


• Dubcon and noncon with my requested character as the victim

General Likes

• I love all tenses and POVs!


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


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


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


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


• Whump, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort


• 5+1 fics


• Epistolary fic


• Internal or external homophobia

Art Likes

• I love any art styles and media!


• Ships sharing each other’s clothes


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


• Clothing/costume porn


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


• Limited color palettes


• Blood, bruises, marks

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 (especially with the younger characters). I have no dom/sub preferences


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


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


• Group sex, orgies, and gangbangs


• Gunplay, especially fucking someone with a gun


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

Les Mis (Hugo) – Marius and Enjolras

Categories

• LBD/M


• LBD/M/M


• LBD/Many

For this fandom, feel free to add Cosette to any Marius slash ships! Or have Marius cheating on Cosette and feeling horribly guilty about it, or just having the gift set in an AU where Marius and Cosette never got together. Marius incest of any sort is also great. Feel free to keep canonical character deaths or do an everyone-lives or some-people-live AU. You’re also welcome to throw in historical figures to ship Marius or Enjolras with, or throw in OCs for noncon or dubcon.

Characters

• Marius Pontmercy – I love Marius in all of his nerdy awkward bad-political-opinions glory, and I just want to see him shipped with literally any of the men in canon. Les Amis growing closer to him and debating politics with him? Amazing. Marius fucking Valjean or Javert or Thenardier, possibly with some daddy issues? Stellar. Any of Patron-Minette seducing and/or nonconning Marius? Super fun. Theodule taking Marius under his wing? Perfect. Hell, horrible fucked up Gillenormand/Marius? I’d love to see it. I’d love any of the more chaotic Amis helping Marius loosen up. For smut, I’m really into Marius as a sub who has a lot of self-loathing regarding his kinks.


• Enjolras – I love how dedicated to The Revolution he is, and would love to see him in a softer moment with someone he loves, or being comforted after he, say, collapses from overwork. Enjolras submitting to sex with someone For The Cause (Patron-Minette?) is always a classic, as is The National Guard gangrape Enjolras. Also, I super love any subset or all of Les Amis gangbanging Enjolras, for whatever reason you’d like to use

Characters

• Cosette Fauchelevent – I really love Cosette, and I love seeing what fanworks can do with her. Very into things exploring the trauma that might linger from her childhood, if you’re into that. I also really love seeing where she might go with her life post-canon. If you go for Cosette femslash, I’m especially into Cosette realizing she’s a lesbian (and maybe breaking her engagement with Marius because of it). Marius and Cosette having threesomes is also always fun! If you ship her with any of Les Amis, I’m very into AUs where Valjean brings back the wrong guy from the barricade instead of Marius as a setup for the relationship with Cosette (and perhaps you could combine that with genderbending one of Les Amis?) Cosette/Valjean also very welcome, as is any Cosette noncon.

Downton Abbey

Categories

• LBD/M


• LBD/M/M


• LBD/Many

Ship DNWs: Thomas/Jimmy, consensual Thomas/Duke of Crowborough (noncon set after their breakup in ep1 is welcome though!)

Characters

• Thomas Barrow - I love him and I think he should get so much more gay romance than he gets in canon. One of my favorite things about Thomas is how he’s self-sufficient to a fault and doesn’t believe he can count on anyone, and I’d love to see a shipfic where he slowly realizes he can count on his partner. Art-wise, something playing with Edwardian dress/undress would be very fun! And noncon is also very welcome. Thomas is so fun to whump! Would love to see him trying (and perhaps failing) to hide the rape from everyone else. Any crossovers are, as always, welcome, but on the off chance you are also familiar with the England series and/or Will Darling Adventures by KJ Charles, I’d so love to see Thomas end up working with the spy agency and falling for one/more of the characters.

Doctrine of Labyrinths – Sarah Monette

Categories

• LBD/M


• LBD/M/M


• LBD/Many

Characters

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

Characters

• Lord Corvin – I love everyone in Band Sinister but I am especially into Corvin, and he’s an especially good fit for LBD. I loved seeing an aro character in a romance novel, and I crave more fic about anyone Corvin has seduced, past, canon-era, or future! He also makes a great hinge to cross over any other canons set during vaguely the same era (or an AU of those canons making them set during Band Sinister). I love Corvin’s love for scandal and would especially love to see him setting up a scandal for someone (e.g. the woman whose reputation he consensually ruined as mentioned in the book). Hookups with any of his, Philip’s, and John’s friends is also great! Also, noncon or general Bad Things Happening To Corvin are always welcome.

Characters

• Ace McShane – I love Ace so much! My Who experience is limited to most of Ace’s episodes and half of Thirteen’s run, but please feel free to pick your favorite obscure character to hook her up with, even if they’re from different iterations of canon (new Who, the audios, books, etc). (I’d love to know where they’re from, though, so I can watch/read/etc their part of canon!) Ace is just So Shippable with literally Everyone she interacts with in canon, and I desperately want to see her get together with a character she meets on a mission, Seven, another Doctor, literally anyone...Noncon is also very welcome! If you go for smut, weird alien sex pollen and/or Ace losing her virginity would both be very fun. Noncon and dubcon also welcome!

Bridgerton (TV)

Categories

• LDB/F


• LBD/F/F

Characters

• Eloise Bridgerton – please, I just so desperately want any queer!Eloise fanworks! I would really love to see her have a sexual awakening with Penelope, Marina, Daphne...or a dapper OFC to show up to sweep her off her feet. Perhaps someone giving Eloise some sex ed while she’s on her quest to find out how babies are made, or she meets a scandalously butch noblewoman at a ball and begins to see a life for herself that isn’t just getting married to a respectable young man. Eloise noncon with any gender of character is also very welcome!


• Edwina Sharma – I fell in love with Edwina in season 2 and I so want some femslash about her. Perhaps she meets a lovely woman to help her get over her broken engagement. Perhaps Queen Charlotte takes her under her wing...sexually ;) Perhaps she and Kate have a very close relationship. Or anything else you’d like to go with!
