Pinch hits #1, 7, 31, 33, 35, 39, 40, 47, 48, 49
Thank you for your interest in pinch hits! Pinch hits are due 22 January 2022. To claim a pinch hit, please reply here with your AO3 name.
If you want to swap your current assignment for a pinch hit, please say so when claiming. Otherwise I'll assume you want to keep your current assignment.
Minimum requirements: An art gift must be a completed comic at least 10 pages or 40 panels long; a fic gift must be a story at least 10,000 words long. You can also fulfil a pinch hit by giving two complete half-length works, if your recipient has opted into that for the fandom(s) you are creating in. Any work must be for a fandom your recipient has requested and one character/relationship/worldbuilding tag requested in that fandom, and must avoid their DNWs.
Some of the pinch hits below can be claimed by creators who are willing to offer one fic of 5,000+ words or one comic of 20+ panels. This varies by fandom as well as by request. Please be clear if that's what you're offering - otherwise I'll assuming you're claiming all of a pinch hit. Thank you!
A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
Group: Tristifer Botley/Theon Greyjoy (ASOIAF), Group: Theon Greyjoy & Robb Stark (ASOIAF), Group: Dagmer Cleftjaw & Theon Greyjoy (ASoIaF), Group: Theon Greyjoy/Robb Stark (ASOIAF), Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion
Please see letter for prompts and squee! (And better readability for Likes/DNWs.)
General Likes:
A focus on the romantic/emotional aspect of a relationship and some semblance of a plot/point rather than just sex, mutual pining, secretly requited pining, complicated relationship dynamics, relationships that take some effort/time to work, loving each other but because [insert reasons here] not always being able to be together/communicate those feelings, UST, romantic partners who just can’t help but adore each other, kissing, hugging, holding hands, non-sexual physical contact in general, praise kink (in the sense that there’s a lot of emotional investment in and getting-off on getting praised or otherwise acknowledged as worthwhile), hurt/comfort, LOYALTY KINK, themes of loyalty in general, conflicted loyalties, protectiveness and self-sacrifice, friendship, family (dynamics), platonic love, fluff, banter, cuddling/snuggling, well-rounded characters, characters with emotions/sympathetic motives, the “other side of the story, politics and intrigue, worldbuilding especially in fantasy and historical settings.
Fandom-specific DNWs: For Theon ships – fics set during the Ramsay/Reek period. Post-Ramsay (i.e. post escape with Sansa) is ok. Ramsay/Theon. Also, please no to the sort of Robb-survives-the-Red-Wedding AUs where everything in Theon’s storyline stays the same but Robb survives the Red Wedding and then they are brought back together when Robb takes back the North, etc along those lines. If he survives in some major AU where Theon doesn't defect/never goes to Pyke or Theon's storyline goes differently re: getting captured by Ramsay (e.g. he goes with Asha to Deepwood Motte or something) then that's fine. Also please no reunited-in-the-afterlife fics for Theon/Robb.
General DNWs (see letter for caveats on some of these):
Humiliation, noncom/rape, incest (unless requested or canon; doesn’t include cousins), ships with 15+ years large age disparity, minors under 16 in sexual/romantic relationships with adults**, NC-17 and PWPs, healing cock, BDSM and D/s, omegaverse, most kink but especially those that involve causing pain or humiliation or feature bodily fluids, foot fetishes, mpreg, cross-dressing, non-canon genders/gender headcanons, genderbending/genderswap, threesomes/polyamory (unless requested/prompted), crack!fic, parody. AUs that subvert the universe or drastically change the setting (eg: coffee shop/college, A/B/O, non-canon supernatural creatures, soulbonds etc), crossovers, time travel, apocalypse/post-apocalypse scenarios (unless canon), graphic gore*, (physical) torture, horror, character bashing (esp. for requested characters), narrative implications that “sex = love” or that romantic partners HAVE to have sex to have a “valid” relationship or to be “really” in love with each other.
*To clarify my general DNWs, I realize that there is a lot of torture/violence/gore in this canon, and it’s fine to mention anything that happens in canon (e.g. Boltons flaying people, Stannis burning people) and non-graphic descriptions of canon-typical violence. I just don’t want graphic/prolonged descriptions/scenes. If it’s a fic that’s set post-Ramsay, I realize/expect that Theon’s trauma from that experience will feature in some way, but I’d rather not have very graphic flashbacks, etc, or for it to be the entire/overwhelming focus, and if that means setting the fic further in the future, that’s totally fine by me.
**Minors-under-16/adults DNW is waived for Robb/Theon, although I'd very much prefer that Robb is at least 15 when anything reciprocated happens/Theon develops romantic feelings for him. Robb can have a crush as early as seems reasonable, though :) .

DNWs
Hard DNWs
unrequested kinks
unrequested changes to a character’s canonical sexual orientation, gender, physical or mental health, body type, intelligence, or age — or any other identity headcanons I didn’t think of
animal abuse or death
major character death
E-rated violence aka gore
most horror tropes, especially insects, serial killer stuff, and supernatural horror
wasting, incurable illness (cancer, HIV, and the like)
permanent and complete loss of organ function (paralysis, complete blindness/deafness, etc.)
permanent and complete loss of mental health, sense of identity, or human dignity; in short, if you break the cutie/stoic/etc., don’t break them permanently. Lingering aftereffects/dealing with PTSD are not just fine, but even one of my likes!
woobification/wussification of characters. I do like the iron woobie who stoically carries on regardless, though.
trope or character dynamic subversion
issuefic
readerfic (second person POV is otherwise fine by me)
crackfic
mundane AUs
unrequested poetry, script, chatfic, gamerfic; I’m fine with most other unusual formats, but I’d appreciate if you asked through a mod if you have something totally extravagant in mind
Soft DNWs
I don’ t like these if they make up the plot or take up a lot of the character’s attention; I don't mind them in moderation, as a subplot, or on the side lines of the story.
angst, pining, excessive introspection
hurt without comfort; unrealistic whump plots (i.e., the character sustains injuries that would realistically put them out of commission, but instead they either suffer endlessly without ever succumbing, or pull off daring — and impossible, in their state — feats of heroism)
mental illness, self-harm, eating disorders, etc. — mostly because these things tend to warp the story into issuefic, or become the central problem of the character
enemies to friends/lovers — I prefer “enemies to allies of convenience” who immediately revert to their old antagonism as soon as possible, or “enemies to respected and honored enemies.” Or simply “unrelenting enemies who’d rather die than help their nemesis.”
pure romance plots; I’m fine with romantic subplots, if they meaningfully impact the main plot

DNW: main character death, scat, watersports, A/B/O Dynamics, gore (canon-typical injuries are fine, just no limbs coming off, guts coming out, etc.), breeding talk, mpreg
I'm marginally OK with pregnancy here for Selina in her pairings so long as it's wanted/ends happily, but I'd prefer it to not be the focus of the fic.
For the Dick pairings: Navigating new romantic relationship with one's mentor is A+, as is established relationship. Dick/Selina/Bruce is excellent for ~feelings~ talks and such, as none of them are good with actually articulating their feelings and instead mostly go leaping off tall buildings in an effort to avoid facing them.
Dick and Damian can have a background relationship of Bruce/Dick if you'd like, but that's not necessary if you just want to focus on Dick & Damian's relationship.
I love humor and fun stories, anything that's happy is great, even if there's drama within it. I love casefic and would love to see, especially Dick, being able to be the detective he is (world's second greatest, y'know). Or even mysteries with Selina and Bruce solving them!
Also! Different era AUs are great and I love them. Gotham lends itself to noir so easily, but like, Mafia AU or Golden Age Hollywood AU are good, too, so feel free to do what you'd like. I don't think there's any AU I can't be swayed toward, except really Omegaverse.
Also, and I know this 100% conflicts with above, but if you want to do a complete 180 and just make things hella dark, I'm good there. Fuck me (and Dick or Selina) up, my friend. Non-con is always acceptable.
Note: I basically stopped really reading comics after Grayson ended, but I do know what's going on up through the wedding arc. I'm happy with my old school headcanons and keeping things pre-Flashpoint if you are.

Note: Gozaburo can always die/be killed at any point, I'm good there, lol
A note to say, I love love LOVE trans man Seto and Bakura, but if you're not feeling that, no worries.
Prompts:
Kaiba/Bakura as ridiculous nerds, like virtual reality TTRPGs are where it's AT, man! Or just two trans guys going "omg u get it" among their cis friends, lol.
The Gozaburo pairings can be dark as hell, like, just fuck me up there. Non-con is always acceptable (and kinda preferred for this one, because, I mean, *really*). Does Kaiba get revenge on Gozaburo? Does he just lose? Mind games are great here.
The Kaiba bros can go any way for me. Whether they're fully in love with each other and content to keep it quiet, whether one's more controlling of the other (Note: I love Mokuba being the one wrapping Seto around his finger), or whether one feels hella guilty over it but can't stop, everything is great here. Also, if you want to add a background Kaiba Bros ship to any of the above, that's cool, too.
Jounouchi/Kaiba. Hoo boy! Mostly, I want them to be equally snarky and equally dominant towards each other. I love the two of them realizing that fighting and fucking are basically fulfilling the same needs between them. Either when they're still during the main series, or post-DSoD, or well into their 20s/30s, I'm good with anything.

I'm very much looking for a happy ending here, especially for Rex, because why is I my one canon queer character dies, whyyyyyyy?????
Anyway.
Andrew/Rex, yes please! How does Andrew find out Rex love him? Has he always known, but didn't want to risk saying it first? Anything with them surviving (whether together or apart) and reuniting after the war would be great.
Christopher/Rex. I read a great fic that made me ship this. Foyle's always been more, how we say, progressive than his peers? Is he queer, too? (I've always headcanoned him as bi, because, like, come ON, some of the looks he's shared with his friends, c'mooooon!) Does Rex seek him out because Andrew doesn't love him? Is it just a fling type thing or something longer?
Rex/both Foyles. Does he start at one and come to love the other? Does he start with papa Foyle because he's too scared to risk Andrew's friendship? What happens when one falls in love with two people? The Foyles can also be a pair, but it's not necessary.

Trans man Sherlock. That's it, that's the prompt.
....
I'm kidding. Of course there's more!
(And, ofc, as always, if you're unsure, cis is fine!)
I'm super in love with the idea of trans Holmes/cis Watson/cis Mary. Like, were Holmes and Watson lovers before? Does that make him a better lover for Mary? Do the two (Holmes and Mary) ever gang up on Watson? Love cheerful relationships, humor, deep friendships in romance, and, if it's in there, jealousy that is resolved by discussion.
Holmes/Watson. What a classic pair! Solving a mystery, whether it's serious or not, is always good (also good for the ship + Mary; maybe she's not too bad at solving things from a domestic side herself!). Or domesticity! What are things really like at the Holmes/Watson residence? Do they have queer friends over ever?
(Ngl, I'm 100% sure the reason Lestrade and Gregson appear to hate each other is because of a terrible break up and nothing will convince me otherwise! And they often dine with Holmes/Watson, hmm.....)

Prefer here that the romantic relationships do not get explicit. I'm good for crack fic or parodies here, considering the show itself is what it is, I'm down for most comedy things here.
Anything that feels like a missing episode is great here. Anything that's funny goes, really, whether working blue or not (we know how well the bots like to skirt that line).
Gypsy being the sole voice of sanity is great here, but sometimes she does have to run the higher functions of the ship, so if she's not included, that's fine, too. (Note: I'm good with keeping the movie canon here, since I know it's a little different in feel from the series, but I still love it.)
Forrester/Frank. How many times has Clayton killed Frank, yet Frank just keeps bouncing back (with a little help from Forrester's mad science, of course)? They do seem fairly devoted to each other, considering how casually mean they can be to one another.
Pearl/Brain Guy/Bobo. I love these three so much. The way they've confessed their love for another (usually right before they think they're going to die, but still), the way they casually hurt each other, yet don't seem to hold grudges. I love it!
Pearl & Clayton. This can be when she was just "Mama Pearl" or after she becomes rightly her own character, I'm good with either. Example, how many husbands HAS she had, and which one do we think was Clayton's father? Was Clayton Deborah Susan Forrester always a disappointment? Or was Pearl just ridiculously strict?
(Also, I love the "after I finished smothering him" casual line she throws out to Mike before explaining that she's keeping the mad science in the family, lol!)
Just, anything with the spirit of the show is great here and I'll love it.

-Kasuka's agency begs them to star in a film together for the publicity, and Kasuka convinces Shizuo to do it. Memorizing lines, sharing a trailer, fighting on set... what could go wrong?
-I like how Durarara often tells a story out of chronological order or approaches plot like a mystery, if you feel like playing with that

Cordelia Naismith (Vorkosigan Saga) & Rowan (Steerswoman)
My first thought for this crack crossover that makes total sense (no hear me out) is that Rowan’s world is the long-lost Alpha Colony, rediscovered either by the Betan Astronomical Survey pre-Shards of Honor or by a newly-founded Barrayaran Imperial Survey post-Cryoburn. If you think of another way of getting these two characters together, though, have at it!
I'd love to see them interacting as scientists or unraveling the history of Rowan's world. I'd also be happy with Rowan/Cordelia if you want to go that route. I also love Bel/Rowan, and I'm fine with background canon relationships.
Stephen Maturin (O'Brian) & Tenzing Tharkay (Temeraire)
These two would have fascinating chemistry. They're both travelers and polyglots, each with a rock-deep sense of personal morality and utter repugnance for authority, each with a huge chip on his shoulder regarding his parentage and ethnicity and how that means he's treated in "polite" society. But they're very different, too, in personality and the way they choose to deal with said chips on said shoulders.
I would absolutely adore spy shenanigans, travel fic or art in all sorts of locations, 5 + 1-style interactions throughout the years, natural philosophy, the effect of dragons on Irish and Catalan (and other) independence and Stephen's personal history with those, Stephen's opinion of Laurence (and Temeraire) and Tharkay's of Jack Aubrey--really it would be hard to find elements of each canon that I wouldn't find fascinating through the lens of the other, with these two at the center.
General likes in the letter!
DNW: exposed genitalia in art; non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either; underage sex; PWP; infidelity (open relationships are fine); AUs (except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap, which I love); references to canon-atypical suicide or suicidal ideation (not for the main characters, please); epidemics or strong focus on real-world infectious disease (Sci-Fi diseases are fine; wounds and typical shipboard diseases are fine)

I recently finished my third read-through of this series, and I love everyone in this barque. All the characters feel like old friends. I love the nailbiting action sequences; the spycraft; the beautiful, beautiful depictions of the sea and of music; the natural philosophy and terrible medical practices; the genuine philosophical differences; the utterly indulgent way O'Brian has of solving problems with near-death injuries (PLATYPUS); the sense of the characters and relationships growing over time while always remaining true to themselves.
I'm so fond of Stephen and Sophie's surprising, deeply affectionate friendship, and the way it exists aside from and sometimes despite their relationships with Jack and Diana. I'd love to see that friendship explored more deeply.
Likes, prompts, and more detail in the letter!
DNW: exposed genitalia in art; non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either; underage sex; PWP; AUs (except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap, which I love); references to canon-atypical suicide or suicidal ideation (not for the main characters, please); epidemics or strong focus on infectious disease (wounds and typical shipboard diseases are fine)
My usual infidelity DNW doesn't apply here--canon-typical infidelity and discussion of it is fine.

Merlin Series - Mary Stewart
Merlin (Merlin - Stewart), Group: Merlin & Morgause (Merlin - Stewart), Group: Aurelius Ambrosius & Merlin (Merlin - Stewart), Group: Arthur & Merlin - Stewart), Group: Arthur & Niniane | The Lady of the Lake (Merlin - Stewart), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
I'm having the worst time figuring out how to phrase this request, beyond "Please write me something that makes me feel like I felt when reading these books." To be slightly more specific, I just want to drown in the setting, the prose and the visuals, the particularly numinous quality of the magic, the depictions of music, the characters' sense of history, the loyalty and love Merlin has for Ambrosius and Arthur (and Arthur in particular has for Merlin), all the mentor/protegee dynamics, the beauty and tragedy of the whole thing. Also--these books were terribly good to me in delivering the "I thought you were dead but you're not!" trope, and I absolutely would not say no to more of that.
Would love canon divergence AUs (Merlin does choose to train Morgause when she asks; Ambrosius lives longer); future fic/comic (Niniane and Arthur working together to rule his kingdom); action and adventure or worldbuilding or intrigue, give me any or all of it. I nominated all "&" relationships, but I'm pretty open to gen and ships in this fandom if you want to go a different route.
More fandom-specific prompts, plus general likes and preferences, in the letter.
Fandom-specific DNWs: Merlin/Morgause unless you're writing f!Merlin; sexualizing Morgause before she's 16, though mentioning the possibility of political marriage, etc. is fine
DNW: exposed genitalia in art; non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either; non-canonical sex under age 16 (references to canonical instances are fine, but nothing on-page, please); PWP; non-canonical infidelity (open relationships are fine); AUs except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap; references to suicide or suicidal ideation; parent/child incest; epidemics or strong focus on real-world infectious disease (wounds are fine; fantasy illnesses are fine)

The Queen's Gambit (TV)
Group: Beth Harmon/Vasily Borgov (Queen’s Gambit), Group: Beth Harmon & Vasily Borgov (Queen’s Gambit), Beth Harmon (Queen’s Gambit TV), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
I have watched and rewatched parts of this series an embarrassing number of times. So much of it is perfectly calculated to hit me right in the id. More beautifully-shot and costumed dramas about women’s intellectual passions, please!
For either of the Borgov options, would love rivalry turning to collegiality (or something warmer), epistolary/correspondence fic (perhaps through chess articles?) or found media, or political maneuvering to which Beth may or may not pay any attention.
Regardless of whether you're writing a Borgov request, I'm so interested in the possibilities for Beth's future career. What does her training for the world championships look like? How does she hold up under that kind of sustained pressure, and what kind of support network does she build? How does she deal with defeat (since nobody goes undefeated in competitions that long)? If you want to look farther down the road, what kind of legacy does she leave?
If you have any interest in the social and political history of chess during the Cold War, Cold War history in general, or the more technical aspects of chess, please let your geek flag fly. I will be there with bells on.
For comics in this fandom, I’d love the sort of focus on clothing and setting that we got in the series (the shots of the hotels were amazing, I loved so many of Beth’s styles, and then you get beautifully-lit scenes like that one in the basement in the final episode, with Beth in black under stark lighting, lit up like a Caravaggio). Alternatively, chess motifs! All the chess motifs, or interesting chess sets, or depictions of gameplay.
General likes, etc., and more in the letter.
I do not want: exposed genitalia in art; non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either (references to period- or canon-typical harassment and sexism are fine); underage sex; PWP; AUs (except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap, which I love); references to canon-atypical suicide or suicidal ideation (discussion of Beth’s mother and portrayals of Beth’s self-destructive tendencies are fine); epidemics or strong focus on infectious disease (references are fine)
I usually DNW infidelity, but if you go with the / pairing, I’m okay with either an affair (though I’d prefer it if Borgov's wife isn’t demonized and if the cheating isn’t a kink) or some type of open marriage situation. On Beth’s end, I honestly can’t see her as monogamous, and anyway I'm Beth/chess OTP all the way! I’m fine with any of her canon relationships or casual non canonical encounters, and I also like Beth/Jolene.

The Mummy Series
Group: Ardeth Bay/Evy Carnahan/Rick O'Connell (The Mummy), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic
My extremely nuanced and highbrow take on this request is that I just really want these three pretty people to get into and out of loads of exciting trouble in fun locations, possibly with archaeology (rule of cool applies! Though if you have a passion for Egyptology please let your nerd flag fly, I will love you for that, too), possibly with antique airplanes or horses or Nile riverboats, while arguing a bit and appreciating each other's attractiveness and intelligence a lot. Horror, mystery (either supernatural or mundane), near-death experiences, desert survival, humor, competence porn, melodrama and (temporary) angst, excavations and libraries and translations, sitting around campfires eating and drinking and patching each other up and laughing--all of it, any of it, I'm there.
Since I'm requesting comics specifically for this fandom, anything you want to do with ancient Egyptian art and archaeology would be amazing. Or maybe a story told through excavation notes, newspaper clippings, telegrams, etc.?
Seriously, these movies are just such over the top, feel-good fun, and I'd love anything created in that spirit. In terms of the threesome, I'd prefer getting-together rather than established relationship for Ardeth Bay's involvement, though it's totally fine to set that getting together at any point in Rick and Evy's relationship. Right after the events of the first movie, as they turn back toward civilization? After years of friendship and well into Rick and Evy's marriage? Entirely up to you!

*I am totally down with angsty pining, ancient-curses-made-two-or-more-of-them-do-it, or an "I can't believe we did that; we must never speak of this again" kiss in the heat of the moment (possibly after an over-the-top near-death experience? If near-death-experiences are your thing? They are definitely my thing) before they all realize they're on the same page. Just please no affairs.

Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch
Group: Abigail Kamara & Thomas Nightingale (RoL), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
These two snuck up on me throughout the books & novellas, and then I read What Abigail Did and lost my heart to them completely. Just--the degree of mutual respect despite the ridiculous differences in their life experiences, his care of her while still giving her way more free rein than Peter is comfortable with, and then that line in the last novella where she thinks the only two people she's never lied to are Nightingale and her brother. (There is so much going on in that line.)
Would particularly adore: casefic/comic, future-fic/comic with Abigail as an adult, worldbuilding/magic, Nightingale being an absolute BAMF, Abigail developing her own areas of specialization and expertise, H/C (though I'd prefer Abigail not to experience significant physical hurt), rescues and protectiveness (would love to see Abigail involved in rescuing Nightingale rather than the other way around), unlikely bonding and character moments
Likes, prompts, and more detail in the letter!
Fandom-specific DNW: Abigail going into the police or other law enforcement (would love her as a PI or similar, though! A consulting magician?)
DNW: exposed genitalia in art; non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either (references in e.g. the context of a case is fine, but nothing on-page and no threats to Abigail); underage sex; PWP; AUs (except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap, which I love); references to canon-atypical suicide or suicidal ideation*; epidemics or strong focus on infectious disease (references are fine; wounds are fine; fantasy illness is fine)
* exception for this fandom--fine if it's magically-induced ideation, or if it's suggested that Nightingale experienced this in the past

The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner
Group: Eddis/The Magus (Queen's Thief), Group: Eddis | Helen & The Minister of War (Queen's Thief), Group: Attolia & Eddis & the Magus (Queen's Thief), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
I'm a sucker for characters who have mutual respect but conflicting priorities, and these relationships fit that bill perfectly! I'd love to see any interaction with them pre-canon--when was the first time they met? What conflicts did they have before the events of The Thief? Alternatively, how did they build the degree of friendship we see in Eddis and the Magus by the time we get to King of Attolia, and Eddis and Attolia at the end of Conspiracy of Kings? How did the Minister of War's support for his niece play out, and how did they cement her reign together? What was their perspective on personal and political events throughout the books?
Re: shipping--if you want to include ships alongside those requested, I like all the canon relationships as well as the ones I've tagged. I headcanon Eddis/politics/the magus in the books, where politics get firmly in the way because both of them have bigger things at stake.
Canon divergence or something set in the future would also be loads of fun for this fandom. The Minister of War does somehow become Eddis instead of his neice? Political alliances through an Eddis/Attolia marriage? Eddis does wind up marrying Sounis the Elder early in the books, and the fallout of all that (perhaps with mutual Eddis/Magus pining)? The three countries somehow manage to keep the peace in Queen of Attolia--how do they do it, what do they each gain, and what do they each give up?
Seriously anything with the requested characters interacting, either all at once, in the specific combinations requested, or the sort of complicated "Eddis talks to Attolia, who talks to the magus, who talks to..." progression Eddis jokes about in CoK. I'd adore something political (epistolary fic pre-series, with the three of them dancing around one another? Negotiations before any of the royal weddings? Dealing with the Mede post-CoK?), or maybe, for something more personal or humorous, they take advantage of an unexpected quiet moment between crises to complain about Eugenides.
For Eddis/the Magus, again, I'd love anything with a strong sense of politics, or epistolary fic; or something set during his captivity, perhaps? Clearly a lot happened there that we never got to see. Sharing myths, plotting for the future of their countries, wry and repressed longing or clandestine meetings, any of it.
For comics--worldbuilding through art is <3, seriously--anything you want to incorporate with clothing or maps or crafts or architecture or geography etc.!

The Witcher (TV)
Group: Yennefer/Tissaia de Vries (Witcher TV), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
Ugh these two! There's so much potential for conflict, competence porn, reluctant respect and attachment, combative mentor/student dynamics followed by estrangement and then having to work together against a common enemy. And angry sex. I can definitely see that coming up eventually.
I'd prefer it if the romantic/sexual relationship only starts once Yennefer is no longer Tissaia's student. That said, Yennefer's progress in her studies and development into someone whose power Tissaia acknowledges is one of the missing scenes (or years, really) I most regretted in the show, so anything you write that illuminates that period would be wonderful.
I'm into politics of the Brotherhood and the courts; worldbuilding around magic; the characters performing magic that's impressively intricate or impressively explosive; and rivals-to-lovers (especially if the rivalry doesn't end) with moments of vulnerability and caring on both sides, especially if they're only shown briefly and/or under duress. But all the complicated respect and attraction. I'm also down for a fic that ends unhappily for the ship, in separation or a breakup, with Tissaia's death (not Yennefer's, please), etc.
Including canon-typical Yennefer/Geralt is fine--I quite enjoy their dynamic.
General likes in the letter!
I do not want: exposed genitalia in art; detailed depictions of rape or sexual violence; noncanonical rape involving either character, even in backstory; PWP; infidelity (open or on-again, off-again relationships are fine, and I don't consider Yennefer/Geralt exclusive based on what we see); AUs (except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap, which I love); references to suicide or suicidal ideation (exception for references to Yennefer's canonical attempt, though I'd prefer if that wasn't a major focus)

Group: Evelyn/Helsin (Love Nikki)
Helsin and Evelyn are respectively Vampire Dominatrix and Captive Elf from Blood Moon (https://lovenikki.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_Moon).
It's great and there’s no fic and that’s very unfair. The canon set-up is so amazing: Evelyn being Helsin's prisoner/the seal of Shadow City. She chose to martyr herself like that to protect the other elves. Meanwhile, Helsin wants to murder her soul to unlock pleasure. Of course, this isn’t a happy, fluffy ship so more exploration of their fucked-up situation and of Helsin’s weird obsession would be great. Or something that takes into account later Kindred lore, like their origin or whatever it was Cloris did to make them no longer Kindred.
Group: Flynn/Orlando (Love Nikki)
Childhood friends! Amnesia! Dramatic reveals! Sharp suits and too many belts! Shooting each other! Hurt/comfort because of said shooting! Loyalty! Conflicting duties! Fuck, I love these two. Canon has left them in such an interesting place - Shade still doesn’t remember but he suspects something’s wrong; Orland now has proof that he can get his BFF back. Or maybe he can’t, a lot has happened after all.
That said, I’m okay with fic set in any moment of the timeline. Fix-its that pick up after canon, them learning to be friends again, fill-in-the-blanks fic of the past, kinky unadvised sex, fic where they're forced to work together, etc.

You know, if there was one thing I never expected, it was to have a XCOM OTP that wasn’t two of my units. But XCOM 2 managed that feat! Bradford’s undying loyalty was too *chef’s kiss*.
The loyalty kink is goddamn canon and it’d be so great if there was some pining added in. Especially if the Commander is still in his XCOM days mindset, while Bradford has spent so many years on the run that the chain of command sounds like a joke. Or maybe some comfort sex turns into something more. H/C would also be definitely welcomed, as would exploration of how the Commander fits in after what he's gone through. Or how they both deal with peacetime post-canon.
I’d prefer the fic to be set in the XCOM 2 timeline because I like how Bradford develops in that one.

I’ve thought they were pretty shippy since S1, but S3 turned it into a true OTP. I love their easy chemistry, their banter, and how their history makes them so comfortable with each other. I’m fine with established relationship fic or getting together fic. Pre-canon, during-canon, and fic exploring their new adventures in the future would all be great!
Group: Cleveland "Book" Booker/Michael Burnham (ST: DSC)
Book sounds so ‘too good to be true’: the roguish hot dude with a not-so-secret soft side and a great cat and willing to join the Federation Michael loves. And I’m just so happy she gets to have that! Because she goddamn deserves it. I’m very curious about their time together while she was waiting for Discovery: the UST must have been off the charts. I’d also be super interested in current canon/post-S3 adventure fic and them negotiating Book’s role in the Discovery.

Pinch hitters are also welcome to leave prompts of their own here.
If you want to swap your current assignment for a pinch hit, please say so when claiming. Otherwise I'll assume you want to keep your current assignment.
Minimum requirements: An art gift must be a completed comic at least 10 pages or 40 panels long; a fic gift must be a story at least 10,000 words long. You can also fulfil a pinch hit by giving two complete half-length works, if your recipient has opted into that for the fandom(s) you are creating in. Any work must be for a fandom your recipient has requested and one character/relationship/worldbuilding tag requested in that fandom, and must avoid their DNWs.
Some of the pinch hits below can be claimed by creators who are willing to offer one fic of 5,000+ words or one comic of 20+ panels. This varies by fandom as well as by request. Please be clear if that's what you're offering - otherwise I'll assuming you're claiming all of a pinch hit. Thank you!

General Likes:
A focus on the romantic/emotional aspect of a relationship and some semblance of a plot/point rather than just sex, mutual pining, secretly requited pining, complicated relationship dynamics, relationships that take some effort/time to work, loving each other but because [insert reasons here] not always being able to be together/communicate those feelings, UST, romantic partners who just can’t help but adore each other, kissing, hugging, holding hands, non-sexual physical contact in general, praise kink (in the sense that there’s a lot of emotional investment in and getting-off on getting praised or otherwise acknowledged as worthwhile), hurt/comfort, LOYALTY KINK, themes of loyalty in general, conflicted loyalties, protectiveness and self-sacrifice, friendship, family (dynamics), platonic love, fluff, banter, cuddling/snuggling, well-rounded characters, characters with emotions/sympathetic motives, the “other side of the story, politics and intrigue, worldbuilding especially in fantasy and historical settings.
Fandom-specific DNWs: For Theon ships – fics set during the Ramsay/Reek period. Post-Ramsay (i.e. post escape with Sansa) is ok. Ramsay/Theon. Also, please no to the sort of Robb-survives-the-Red-Wedding AUs where everything in Theon’s storyline stays the same but Robb survives the Red Wedding and then they are brought back together when Robb takes back the North, etc along those lines. If he survives in some major AU where Theon doesn't defect/never goes to Pyke or Theon's storyline goes differently re: getting captured by Ramsay (e.g. he goes with Asha to Deepwood Motte or something) then that's fine. Also please no reunited-in-the-afterlife fics for Theon/Robb.
General DNWs (see letter for caveats on some of these):
Humiliation, noncom/rape, incest (unless requested or canon; doesn’t include cousins), ships with 15+ years large age disparity, minors under 16 in sexual/romantic relationships with adults**, NC-17 and PWPs, healing cock, BDSM and D/s, omegaverse, most kink but especially those that involve causing pain or humiliation or feature bodily fluids, foot fetishes, mpreg, cross-dressing, non-canon genders/gender headcanons, genderbending/genderswap, threesomes/polyamory (unless requested/prompted), crack!fic, parody. AUs that subvert the universe or drastically change the setting (eg: coffee shop/college, A/B/O, non-canon supernatural creatures, soulbonds etc), crossovers, time travel, apocalypse/post-apocalypse scenarios (unless canon), graphic gore*, (physical) torture, horror, character bashing (esp. for requested characters), narrative implications that “sex = love” or that romantic partners HAVE to have sex to have a “valid” relationship or to be “really” in love with each other.
*To clarify my general DNWs, I realize that there is a lot of torture/violence/gore in this canon, and it’s fine to mention anything that happens in canon (e.g. Boltons flaying people, Stannis burning people) and non-graphic descriptions of canon-typical violence. I just don’t want graphic/prolonged descriptions/scenes. If it’s a fic that’s set post-Ramsay, I realize/expect that Theon’s trauma from that experience will feature in some way, but I’d rather not have very graphic flashbacks, etc, or for it to be the entire/overwhelming focus, and if that means setting the fic further in the future, that’s totally fine by me.
**Minors-under-16/adults DNW is waived for Robb/Theon, although I'd very much prefer that Robb is at least 15 when anything reciprocated happens/Theon develops romantic feelings for him. Robb can have a crush as early as seems reasonable, though :) .

DNW: main character death, scat, watersports, A/B/O Dynamics, gore (canon-typical injuries are fine, just no limbs coming off, guts coming out, etc.), breeding talk, mpreg
I'm marginally OK with pregnancy here for Selina in her pairings so long as it's wanted/ends happily, but I'd prefer it to not be the focus of the fic.
For the Dick pairings: Navigating new romantic relationship with one's mentor is A+, as is established relationship. Dick/Selina/Bruce is excellent for ~feelings~ talks and such, as none of them are good with actually articulating their feelings and instead mostly go leaping off tall buildings in an effort to avoid facing them.
Dick and Damian can have a background relationship of Bruce/Dick if you'd like, but that's not necessary if you just want to focus on Dick & Damian's relationship.
I love humor and fun stories, anything that's happy is great, even if there's drama within it. I love casefic and would love to see, especially Dick, being able to be the detective he is (world's second greatest, y'know). Or even mysteries with Selina and Bruce solving them!
Also! Different era AUs are great and I love them. Gotham lends itself to noir so easily, but like, Mafia AU or Golden Age Hollywood AU are good, too, so feel free to do what you'd like. I don't think there's any AU I can't be swayed toward, except really Omegaverse.
Also, and I know this 100% conflicts with above, but if you want to do a complete 180 and just make things hella dark, I'm good there. Fuck me (and Dick or Selina) up, my friend. Non-con is always acceptable.
Note: I basically stopped really reading comics after Grayson ended, but I do know what's going on up through the wedding arc. I'm happy with my old school headcanons and keeping things pre-Flashpoint if you are.

Note: Gozaburo can always die/be killed at any point, I'm good there, lol
A note to say, I love love LOVE trans man Seto and Bakura, but if you're not feeling that, no worries.
Prompts:
Kaiba/Bakura as ridiculous nerds, like virtual reality TTRPGs are where it's AT, man! Or just two trans guys going "omg u get it" among their cis friends, lol.
The Gozaburo pairings can be dark as hell, like, just fuck me up there. Non-con is always acceptable (and kinda preferred for this one, because, I mean, *really*). Does Kaiba get revenge on Gozaburo? Does he just lose? Mind games are great here.
The Kaiba bros can go any way for me. Whether they're fully in love with each other and content to keep it quiet, whether one's more controlling of the other (Note: I love Mokuba being the one wrapping Seto around his finger), or whether one feels hella guilty over it but can't stop, everything is great here. Also, if you want to add a background Kaiba Bros ship to any of the above, that's cool, too.
Jounouchi/Kaiba. Hoo boy! Mostly, I want them to be equally snarky and equally dominant towards each other. I love the two of them realizing that fighting and fucking are basically fulfilling the same needs between them. Either when they're still during the main series, or post-DSoD, or well into their 20s/30s, I'm good with anything.

(I realized "no limbs coming off" in the middle of a WWII prompt is a little silly, so that's not there, but still no gore for the sake of it, please!)
I'm very much looking for a happy ending here, especially for Rex, because why is I my one canon queer character dies, whyyyyyyy?????
Anyway.
Andrew/Rex, yes please! How does Andrew find out Rex love him? Has he always known, but didn't want to risk saying it first? Anything with them surviving (whether together or apart) and reuniting after the war would be great.
Christopher/Rex. I read a great fic that made me ship this. Foyle's always been more, how we say, progressive than his peers? Is he queer, too? (I've always headcanoned him as bi, because, like, come ON, some of the looks he's shared with his friends, c'mooooon!) Does Rex seek him out because Andrew doesn't love him? Is it just a fling type thing or something longer?
Rex/both Foyles. Does he start at one and come to love the other? Does he start with papa Foyle because he's too scared to risk Andrew's friendship? What happens when one falls in love with two people? The Foyles can also be a pair, but it's not necessary.

Trans man Sherlock. That's it, that's the prompt.
....
I'm kidding. Of course there's more!
(And, ofc, as always, if you're unsure, cis is fine!)
I'm super in love with the idea of trans Holmes/cis Watson/cis Mary. Like, were Holmes and Watson lovers before? Does that make him a better lover for Mary? Do the two (Holmes and Mary) ever gang up on Watson? Love cheerful relationships, humor, deep friendships in romance, and, if it's in there, jealousy that is resolved by discussion.
Holmes/Watson. What a classic pair! Solving a mystery, whether it's serious or not, is always good (also good for the ship + Mary; maybe she's not too bad at solving things from a domestic side herself!). Or domesticity! What are things really like at the Holmes/Watson residence? Do they have queer friends over ever?
(Ngl, I'm 100% sure the reason Lestrade and Gregson appear to hate each other is because of a terrible break up and nothing will convince me otherwise! And they often dine with Holmes/Watson, hmm.....)

Prefer here that the romantic relationships do not get explicit. I'm good for crack fic or parodies here, considering the show itself is what it is, I'm down for most comedy things here.
Anything that feels like a missing episode is great here. Anything that's funny goes, really, whether working blue or not (we know how well the bots like to skirt that line).
Gypsy being the sole voice of sanity is great here, but sometimes she does have to run the higher functions of the ship, so if she's not included, that's fine, too. (Note: I'm good with keeping the movie canon here, since I know it's a little different in feel from the series, but I still love it.)
Forrester/Frank. How many times has Clayton killed Frank, yet Frank just keeps bouncing back (with a little help from Forrester's mad science, of course)? They do seem fairly devoted to each other, considering how casually mean they can be to one another.
Pearl/Brain Guy/Bobo. I love these three so much. The way they've confessed their love for another (usually right before they think they're going to die, but still), the way they casually hurt each other, yet don't seem to hold grudges. I love it!
Pearl & Clayton. This can be when she was just "Mama Pearl" or after she becomes rightly her own character, I'm good with either. Example, how many husbands HAS she had, and which one do we think was Clayton's father? Was Clayton Deborah Susan Forrester always a disappointment? Or was Pearl just ridiculously strict?
(Also, I love the "after I finished smothering him" casual line she throws out to Mike before explaining that she's keeping the mad science in the family, lol!)
Just, anything with the spirit of the show is great here and I'll love it.

-I like how they are each other’s weak spots—especially Shizuo, the strongest man. I also like the contrast between their public images and their private selves that they show to each other
-Casefic/plotty fic: Shizuo has gone missing and Kasuka is the one who has to mount a plan to solve the mystery and save him this time.
-Kasuka's agency begs them to star in a film together for the publicity, and Kasuka convinces Shizuo to do it. Memorizing lines, sharing a trailer, fighting on set... what could go wrong?
-I like how Durarara often tells a story out of chronological order or approaches plot like a mystery, if you feel like playing with that
-Shizuo thinks he’s seducing Kasuka, but Kasuka is the one who has been seducing him for much longer (or planning to)
DNWs: setting change AUs (like coffeeshop, high school), A/B/O, crossovers, fics that focus extensively on sexism/racism/homophobia/etc., fics that focus extensively on identity issues (sexuality crisis, gender, etc), non-con, permanent character death

Group: Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan (Vorkosigan Saga) & Rowan (Steerswoman), Group: Stephen Maturin (Patrick O'Brian) & Tenzing Tharkay (Temeraire), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
Cordelia Naismith (Vorkosigan Saga) & Rowan (Steerswoman)
My first thought for this crack crossover that makes total sense (no hear me out) is that Rowan’s world is the long-lost Alpha Colony, rediscovered either by the Betan Astronomical Survey pre-Shards of Honor or by a newly-founded Barrayaran Imperial Survey post-Cryoburn. If you think of another way of getting these two characters together, though, have at it!
I'd love to see them interacting as scientists or unraveling the history of Rowan's world. I'd also be happy with Rowan/Cordelia if you want to go that route. I also love Bel/Rowan, and I'm fine with background canon relationships.
Stephen Maturin (O'Brian) & Tenzing Tharkay (Temeraire)
These two would have fascinating chemistry. They're both travelers and polyglots, each with a rock-deep sense of personal morality and utter repugnance for authority, each with a huge chip on his shoulder regarding his parentage and ethnicity and how that means he's treated in "polite" society. But they're very different, too, in personality and the way they choose to deal with said chips on said shoulders.
I would absolutely adore spy shenanigans, travel fic or art in all sorts of locations, 5 + 1-style interactions throughout the years, natural philosophy, the effect of dragons on Irish and Catalan (and other) independence and Stephen's personal history with those, Stephen's opinion of Laurence (and Temeraire) and Tharkay's of Jack Aubrey--really it would be hard to find elements of each canon that I wouldn't find fascinating through the lens of the other, with these two at the center.

I recently finished my third read-through of this series, and I love everyone in this barque. All the characters feel like old friends. I love the nailbiting action sequences; the spycraft; the beautiful, beautiful depictions of the sea and of music; the natural philosophy and terrible medical practices; the genuine philosophical differences; the utterly indulgent way O'Brian has of solving problems with near-death injuries (PLATYPUS); the sense of the characters and relationships growing over time while always remaining true to themselves.
I'm so fond of Stephen and Sophie's surprising, deeply affectionate friendship, and the way it exists aside from and sometimes despite their relationships with Jack and Diana. I'd love to see that friendship explored more deeply.

I'm having the worst time figuring out how to phrase this request, beyond "Please write me something that makes me feel like I felt when reading these books." To be slightly more specific, I just want to drown in the setting, the prose and the visuals, the particularly numinous quality of the magic, the depictions of music, the characters' sense of history, the loyalty and love Merlin has for Ambrosius and Arthur (and Arthur in particular has for Merlin), all the mentor/protegee dynamics, the beauty and tragedy of the whole thing. Also--these books were terribly good to me in delivering the "I thought you were dead but you're not!" trope, and I absolutely would not say no to more of that.
Would love canon divergence AUs (Merlin does choose to train Morgause when she asks; Ambrosius lives longer); future fic/comic (Niniane and Arthur working together to rule his kingdom); action and adventure or worldbuilding or intrigue, give me any or all of it. I nominated all "&" relationships, but I'm pretty open to gen and ships in this fandom if you want to go a different route.
More fandom-specific prompts, plus general likes and preferences, in the letter.
Fandom-specific DNWs: Merlin/Morgause unless you're writing f!Merlin; sexualizing Morgause before she's 16, though mentioning the possibility of political marriage, etc. is fine
DNW: exposed genitalia in art; non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either; non-canonical sex under age 16 (references to canonical instances are fine, but nothing on-page, please); PWP; non-canonical infidelity (open relationships are fine); AUs except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap; references to suicide or suicidal ideation; parent/child incest; epidemics or strong focus on real-world infectious disease (wounds are fine; fantasy illnesses are fine)

The Queen's Gambit (TV)
Group: Beth Harmon/Vasily Borgov (Queen’s Gambit), Group: Beth Harmon & Vasily Borgov (Queen’s Gambit), Beth Harmon (Queen’s Gambit TV), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
I have watched and rewatched parts of this series an embarrassing number of times. So much of it is perfectly calculated to hit me right in the id. More beautifully-shot and costumed dramas about women’s intellectual passions, please!
For either of the Borgov options, would love rivalry turning to collegiality (or something warmer), epistolary/correspondence fic (perhaps through chess articles?) or found media, or political maneuvering to which Beth may or may not pay any attention.
Regardless of whether you're writing a Borgov request, I'm so interested in the possibilities for Beth's future career. What does her training for the world championships look like? How does she hold up under that kind of sustained pressure, and what kind of support network does she build? How does she deal with defeat (since nobody goes undefeated in competitions that long)? If you want to look farther down the road, what kind of legacy does she leave?
If you have any interest in the social and political history of chess during the Cold War, Cold War history in general, or the more technical aspects of chess, please let your geek flag fly. I will be there with bells on.
For comics in this fandom, I’d love the sort of focus on clothing and setting that we got in the series (the shots of the hotels were amazing, I loved so many of Beth’s styles, and then you get beautifully-lit scenes like that one in the basement in the final episode, with Beth in black under stark lighting, lit up like a Caravaggio). Alternatively, chess motifs! All the chess motifs, or interesting chess sets, or depictions of gameplay.
General likes, etc., and more in the letter.
I do not want: exposed genitalia in art; non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either (references to period- or canon-typical harassment and sexism are fine); underage sex; PWP; AUs (except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap, which I love); references to canon-atypical suicide or suicidal ideation (discussion of Beth’s mother and portrayals of Beth’s self-destructive tendencies are fine); epidemics or strong focus on infectious disease (references are fine)
I usually DNW infidelity, but if you go with the / pairing, I’m okay with either an affair (though I’d prefer it if Borgov's wife isn’t demonized and if the cheating isn’t a kink) or some type of open marriage situation. On Beth’s end, I honestly can’t see her as monogamous, and anyway I'm Beth/chess OTP all the way! I’m fine with any of her canon relationships or casual non canonical encounters, and I also like Beth/Jolene.

The Mummy Series
Group: Ardeth Bay/Evy Carnahan/Rick O'Connell (The Mummy), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic
My extremely nuanced and highbrow take on this request is that I just really want these three pretty people to get into and out of loads of exciting trouble in fun locations, possibly with archaeology (rule of cool applies! Though if you have a passion for Egyptology please let your nerd flag fly, I will love you for that, too), possibly with antique airplanes or horses or Nile riverboats, while arguing a bit and appreciating each other's attractiveness and intelligence a lot. Horror, mystery (either supernatural or mundane), near-death experiences, desert survival, humor, competence porn, melodrama and (temporary) angst, excavations and libraries and translations, sitting around campfires eating and drinking and patching each other up and laughing--all of it, any of it, I'm there.
Since I'm requesting comics specifically for this fandom, anything you want to do with ancient Egyptian art and archaeology would be amazing. Or maybe a story told through excavation notes, newspaper clippings, telegrams, etc.?
Seriously, these movies are just such over the top, feel-good fun, and I'd love anything created in that spirit. In terms of the threesome, I'd prefer getting-together rather than established relationship for Ardeth Bay's involvement, though it's totally fine to set that getting together at any point in Rick and Evy's relationship. Right after the events of the first movie, as they turn back toward civilization? After years of friendship and well into Rick and Evy's marriage? Entirely up to you!

*I am totally down with angsty pining, ancient-curses-made-two-or-more-of-them-do-it, or an "I can't believe we did that; we must never speak of this again" kiss in the heat of the moment (possibly after an over-the-top near-death experience?

Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch
Group: Abigail Kamara & Thomas Nightingale (RoL), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
These two snuck up on me throughout the books & novellas, and then I read What Abigail Did and lost my heart to them completely. Just--the degree of mutual respect despite the ridiculous differences in their life experiences, his care of her while still giving her way more free rein than Peter is comfortable with, and then that line in the last novella where she thinks the only two people she's never lied to are Nightingale and her brother. (There is so much going on in that line.)
Would particularly adore: casefic/comic, future-fic/comic with Abigail as an adult, worldbuilding/magic, Nightingale being an absolute BAMF, Abigail developing her own areas of specialization and expertise, H/C (though I'd prefer Abigail not to experience significant physical hurt), rescues and protectiveness (would love to see Abigail involved in rescuing Nightingale rather than the other way around), unlikely bonding and character moments
Likes, prompts, and more detail in the letter!
Fandom-specific DNW: Abigail going into the police or other law enforcement (would love her as a PI or similar, though! A consulting magician?)
DNW: exposed genitalia in art; non-canonical rape, sexual violence, or threats of either (references in e.g. the context of a case is fine, but nothing on-page and no threats to Abigail); underage sex; PWP; AUs (except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap, which I love); references to canon-atypical suicide or suicidal ideation*; epidemics or strong focus on infectious disease (references are fine; wounds are fine; fantasy illness is fine)
* exception for this fandom--fine if it's magically-induced ideation, or if it's suggested that Nightingale experienced this in the past

The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner
Group: Eddis/The Magus (Queen's Thief), Group: Eddis | Helen & The Minister of War (Queen's Thief), Group: Attolia & Eddis & the Magus (Queen's Thief), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
I'm a sucker for characters who have mutual respect but conflicting priorities, and these relationships fit that bill perfectly! I'd love to see any interaction with them pre-canon--when was the first time they met? What conflicts did they have before the events of The Thief? Alternatively, how did they build the degree of friendship we see in Eddis and the Magus by the time we get to King of Attolia, and Eddis and Attolia at the end of Conspiracy of Kings? How did the Minister of War's support for his niece play out, and how did they cement her reign together? What was their perspective on personal and political events throughout the books?
Re: shipping--if you want to include ships alongside those requested, I like all the canon relationships as well as the ones I've tagged. I headcanon Eddis/politics/the magus in the books, where politics get firmly in the way because both of them have bigger things at stake.
Canon divergence or something set in the future would also be loads of fun for this fandom. The Minister of War does somehow become Eddis instead of his neice? Political alliances through an Eddis/Attolia marriage? Eddis does wind up marrying Sounis the Elder early in the books, and the fallout of all that (perhaps with mutual Eddis/Magus pining)? The three countries somehow manage to keep the peace in Queen of Attolia--how do they do it, what do they each gain, and what do they each give up?
Seriously anything with the requested characters interacting, either all at once, in the specific combinations requested, or the sort of complicated "Eddis talks to Attolia, who talks to the magus, who talks to..." progression Eddis jokes about in CoK. I'd adore something political (epistolary fic pre-series, with the three of them dancing around one another? Negotiations before any of the royal weddings? Dealing with the Mede post-CoK?), or maybe, for something more personal or humorous, they take advantage of an unexpected quiet moment between crises to complain about Eugenides.
For Eddis/the Magus, again, I'd love anything with a strong sense of politics, or epistolary fic; or something set during his captivity, perhaps? Clearly a lot happened there that we never got to see. Sharing myths, plotting for the future of their countries, wry and repressed longing or clandestine meetings, any of it.
For comics--worldbuilding through art is <3, seriously--anything you want to incorporate with clothing or maps or crafts or architecture or geography etc.!

The Witcher (TV)
Group: Yennefer/Tissaia de Vries (Witcher TV), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic
Ugh these two! There's so much potential for conflict, competence porn, reluctant respect and attachment, combative mentor/student dynamics followed by estrangement and then having to work together against a common enemy. And angry sex. I can definitely see that coming up eventually.
I'd prefer it if the romantic/sexual relationship only starts once Yennefer is no longer Tissaia's student. That said, Yennefer's progress in her studies and development into someone whose power Tissaia acknowledges is one of the missing scenes (or years, really) I most regretted in the show, so anything you write that illuminates that period would be wonderful.
I'm into politics of the Brotherhood and the courts; worldbuilding around magic; the characters performing magic that's impressively intricate or impressively explosive; and rivals-to-lovers (especially if the rivalry doesn't end) with moments of vulnerability and caring on both sides, especially if they're only shown briefly and/or under duress. But all the complicated respect and attraction. I'm also down for a fic that ends unhappily for the ship, in separation or a breakup, with Tissaia's death (not Yennefer's, please), etc.
Including canon-typical Yennefer/Geralt is fine--I quite enjoy their dynamic.
General likes in the letter!
I do not want: exposed genitalia in art; detailed depictions of rape or sexual violence; noncanonical rape involving either character, even in backstory; PWP; infidelity (open or on-again, off-again relationships are fine, and I don't consider Yennefer/Geralt exclusive based on what we see); AUs (except for canon divergence and always-a-woman genderswap, which I love); references to suicide or suicidal ideation (exception for references to Yennefer's canonical attempt, though I'd prefer if that wasn't a major focus)

Helsin and Evelyn are respectively Vampire Dominatrix and Captive Elf from Blood Moon (https://lovenikki.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_Moon).
It's great and there’s no fic and that’s very unfair. The canon set-up is so amazing: Evelyn being Helsin's prisoner/the seal of Shadow City. She chose to martyr herself like that to protect the other elves. Meanwhile, Helsin wants to murder her soul to unlock pleasure. Of course, this isn’t a happy, fluffy ship so more exploration of their fucked-up situation and of Helsin’s weird obsession would be great. Or something that takes into account later Kindred lore, like their origin or whatever it was Cloris did to make them no longer Kindred.

Childhood friends! Amnesia! Dramatic reveals! Sharp suits and too many belts! Shooting each other! Hurt/comfort because of said shooting! Loyalty! Conflicting duties! Fuck, I love these two. Canon has left them in such an interesting place - Shade still doesn’t remember but he suspects something’s wrong; Orland now has proof that he can get his BFF back. Or maybe he can’t, a lot has happened after all.
That said, I’m okay with fic set in any moment of the timeline. Fix-its that pick up after canon, them learning to be friends again, fill-in-the-blanks fic of the past, kinky unadvised sex, fic where they're forced to work together, etc.

You know, if there was one thing I never expected, it was to have a XCOM OTP that wasn’t two of my units. But XCOM 2 managed that feat! Bradford’s undying loyalty was too *chef’s kiss*.
The loyalty kink is goddamn canon and it’d be so great if there was some pining added in. Especially if the Commander is still in his XCOM days mindset, while Bradford has spent so many years on the run that the chain of command sounds like a joke. Or maybe some comfort sex turns into something more. H/C would also be definitely welcomed, as would exploration of how the Commander fits in after what he's gone through. Or how they both deal with peacetime post-canon.
I’d prefer the fic to be set in the XCOM 2 timeline because I like how Bradford develops in that one.

Okay, so the set-up for this one was so Gothic I was sad canon didn’t take advantage of it. And now I just want some fic focusing on them after the twin switch. Maybe there are some ghostly revenge shenanigans. Or Gisselle miraculously survives and there’s tons of H/C and a sweet slow-burn romance; they just go ruby did you forget I had a livejournal and get their revenge; or Paul convinces her she’s Ruby and that she loves him and it's all deliciously fucked-up.

I’ve thought they were pretty shippy since S1, but S3 turned it into a true OTP. I love their easy chemistry, their banter, and how their history makes them so comfortable with each other. I’m fine with established relationship fic or getting together fic. Pre-canon, during-canon, and fic exploring their new adventures in the future would all be great!
Group: Cleveland "Book" Booker/Michael Burnham (ST: DSC)
Book sounds so ‘too good to be true’: the roguish hot dude with a not-so-secret soft side and a great cat and willing to join the Federation Michael loves. And I’m just so happy she gets to have that! Because she goddamn deserves it. I’m very curious about their time together while she was waiting for Discovery: the UST must have been off the charts. I’d also be super interested in current canon/post-S3 adventure fic and them negotiating Book’s role in the Discovery.
