Femslash Ex 2018
Hey friend! I'm so excited to see what you write or draw for me :) let's get started.
This letter is currently a WIP.
Things I Like (Fic):
-Dark fics, like, in general.
-Enemies to lovers, or angry sexual tension.
-Dysfunctional relationships
-Kidnappings. I'm weirdly fond of kidnappings.
-Hurt/comfort
-Secrets ;)
-Fairy tale elements
-Roleswap AU
-Crack fic
-Fix-it fic
-Power imbalances and manipulation
-Getting together or alternate first meetings
-Multiple universes interacting
-Time loops and time travel
-Magic realism
-Canon divergence
-Plotty fic
-5+1 fic
-Episode tag or missing scenes.
-Slice of life
-As regards dubcon/noncon--some ships I'm more open to non-con than others. I'd be okay with non-con/dub-con for Barbara/Margerit, Jen/Seo-yun, Aiko/Seo-yun, Mei Lin/Chabi, Mariah/Misty, The Lady/Kate Sutton, and Kala/Lila. Less so for the others, unless it's just mildly dubious.
Things I Like (Art):
-Anything from headshots to fullbody to complete scene with background is fine.
-Limited palettes.
-Complex costumes (especially for POTO, Alpennia, Marco Polo or Twelfth Night).
-Stylized redraw of a canon scene or screenshot.
-Canon setting over an AU, but different outfits from canon can be fun.
-Art that shows a moment of tension or sadness--maybe a fight, or one character intimidating the other, or one character protecting or comforting another.
-Digital and hand drawn are both nice.
Things I Like Particularly in Femslash (Fic):
-Exploration of gender dynamics/sexuality--what is the view on relationships between women in this setting? What do these women think of their own sexuality? Do they have experience with other women, or is this their first time? (but on the other hand, I would rather this not be central to the fic, like, no issue fics pls.)
-As relates to the above, I do like secret relationships because society would not approve.
-Butch characters.
-Women who are used to wearing a mask or playing a part. Are they able to relax around their lover or do they still continue to play that part? What would make the mask break?
-Intensely intimate friendships that evolve romantic/sexual dimensions.
-Women who use sexuality as a weapon. Dark, forbidden seductions.
-Or women in aggressively healthy and maybe healing relationships. Especially if canon has hurt or villainized them badly.
-Casual sexual relationships that may or may not turn into something more.
Things I Don't Like:
-Pure fluff
-Pure smut
-Modern or mundane AU.
-Major character death.
-Issue fic.
-Watersports
-Underage sex
-Incest.
-Art containing nudity.
-Art that's extremely cutesy or flooded with pastels.
Fandom Specific Wants
A number of these fandoms I've never requested before. So that's exciting :) Oh, and all prompts are, obviously, optional, but I'm hoping they'll help with inspiration.
Alpennia:
I've just now read Daughter of Mystery, so I'd prefer fic/art that only references events from that book, not the rest of the series. Sorry if that limits your options! I'm requesting Barbara/Margerit only for this reason. I'm also requesting only fanfic.
With these two, I really loved the tension of the power imbalance between them--it's more obvious at some times than others (and Margerit really does her best not to make Barbara uncomfortable) but it's always there in the background. With that in mind, I'd love a fic where that comes into play. I also love Barbara being kind of a butch badass, and Margerit being a badass too but in her own field.
Some specific ideas:
-Barbara kicks up a lot more fuss over Margerit basically owning her. She has to be locked up until someone can talk sense to her. Maybe Margerit tries her best to prove she's going to be a decent...owner...or maybe she decides to take a firmer hand, which Barbara would not appreciate.
-AU where Barbara was raised as a Saveze to begin with, and therefore has a higher social position than Margerit, but courts her on a slightly more level playing field.
-Margerit is attacked or kidnapped, and Barbara has to rescue her.
-Barbara is hurt and Margerit nurses her back to health. Alternatively, she is kidnapped for ransom by the people following her.
-Margerit accidentally works some kind of magic/prayer that has an effect on Barbara--a love spell? A truth spell? Or possibly something worse?
Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers:
I can't believe this is an actual nominated fandom, and I'm pretty sure it has no fics on AO3 yet but I really love this dark little story, omg. yes. For this one, only requesting fanfic. Ships are all three combinations: Jen/Aiko, Jen/Seo-yun, Aiko/Seo-yun, it's all good.
I'm just gonna dive into specific prompts.
-If Aiko loves Jen and knows about her situation, how does she feel about all of Jen's "dates"? Does she feel, in a weird way, jealous? Or does she feel sorry for Jen? Does she think she has a chance with her or not?
-What if Jen took her mother's advice and left Aiko, tried to shut her out by moving far away or cutting off contact? Would Aiko pursue her? And how would Jen feel, so alone?
-Details of Jen and Seo-yun's canon relationship. Did they ever kill together? What kinds of thoughts did they eat? Did they ever go on non-food-related dates? Does Seo-yun genuinely like Jen? How does the relationship change Jen?
-How did Seo-yun find out about Jen (from Aiko, presumably, but how did that go)? Was she planning on eating Jen all along? How does it feel to stage a prolonged courtship with your food?
-AU where Jen doesn't take enough from Seo-yun to kill her, but does greatly weaken her. Does Seo-yun respect her after this display of strength enough to not eat her, or does it make her want to eat her more? I'd love to see Jen on the run with Aiko's unconscious body while Seo-yun pursues them, obsessed with eating Jen.
-Post-canon, Jen succeeds at reviving Aiko. They have a lot to talk about. (and what if she accidentally leaves traces of Seo-yun behind in Aiko? How would that change things?)
-Did Aiko know what Seo-yun was? Did she fall for Seo-yun because she was like Jen, or can Seo-yun be innocently charming when she wants to? Does Seo-yun like Aiko for herself, or just for her relationship with Jen?
Marco Polo:
I requested both fanfic and fanart for Mei Lin/Chabi, Mei Lin/Jing Fei, Nergui/Original Blue Princess and Khutulun/Kokachin. Since that's a lot of ships, I'm going to dive straight into prompts. Oh, and usually I DNW character death. I wouldn't mind a fic where the original Blue Princess dies, but if you write a Mei Lin/Jing Fei or Kokachin/Khutulun fic, I'd rather ignore the fact that Jing Fei and Kokachin die.
Fic prompts:
-Kokachin has strong feelings on Khutulun from early Season One, calling her "wrestling whore". Where do these feelings originate? How did their first meeting go? Does Kokachin look down on Khutulun for a lack of femininity? Does Khutulun look down on Kokachin for a lack of toughness? Or do they admire each other for having something they themselves lack?
-AU where Khutulun stays in Cambulac longer and courts Kokachin (secretly) instead of Byamba.
-AU where Khutulun eventually does become the first female Khan, and for some reason Kokachin is available (maybe Jingim is dead or they never married?) to be one of her consorts.
-Any details on Nergui and the original Kokachin pre-canon. Or, what if the original Kokachin survived and escaped, and maybe showed up in Cambulac at an inconvenient moment?
-Any fic where Jing Fei lives and she and Mei Lin are reunited! Or fic pre-canon showing their lives as fellow concubines (if not of the same rank), maybe them mothering Ling Ling together or comforting each other during hard times.
-I know Mei Lin and Chabi canonically fuck but what about the feelings, man? AU where Chabi has enough time to grow attached to Mei Lin before she's betrayed? Or they grow a relationship after the betrayal goes down while Mei Lin's sort of a prisoner? I'm also very here for the power imbalance, for anger and hatred and rough sex and alll that. And definitely down for dub-con considering the deception involved, and how much Mei Lin is at Chabi's mercy.
-Or, AU where Mei Lin's the one who grows attached, and she can't bring herself to kill Chabi, and instead reveals the plot and begs for mercy, even knowing Ling Ling could be killed.
Art prompts:
-Nice clothes pls.
-Khutulun on horseback or fighting!
-Chabi with a bow :) or sitting down looking super composed while Mei Lin grovels.
-Nergui angsting in the mirror with the ghost of the Blue Princess behind her.
-Jing Fei doing a less tragic dance while Mei Lin joins in or watches.
-Pls no modern AU.
Marvel Netflix:
It's been a while since I watched Luke Cage (and I've only seen Season One thus far) but I really did ship Mariah/Misty. Um, I don't mind if you use Season Two events because I'm likely to watch Season Two before reveals. But I won't be using that content for my prompts.
I really like Misty and Mariah as archnemeses, and the tension between them, Misty's frustration at not being able to take Mariah in for the crimes she knows she's committed. So anything with an enemies to lovers vibe, or even an enemies and lovers vibe, would be great. On the other hand, although it would be massively OOC, I also wouldn't mind Misty being a dirty cop who works with Mariah, if you can make that work.
Fic prompts:
-AU where everyone knows Mariah is guilty as hell but Misty, her devoted girlfriend, still believes in her. Does she find out the truth about Mariah's crimes? And if she does, how does she react?
-Sexual tension breaks wide open in the middle of an interrogation.
-Misty is being held hostage, maybe because of the police or maybe because of Luke. Is Mariah her captor? Or maybe Mariah finds out she's being held hostage by another group and swoops in to rescue her... or take advantage of the situation.
-Pre-murder, how would Cornell feel about his sister/cousin dating a cop? And how would Misty feel about Mariah's less extensive criminal connections?
Art prompts:
-I'd definitely love some noir atmosphere. Lots of shadows. Mariah perched on the edge of Misty's desk like a femme fatale, or a meeting in a dark alley, or one of them holding a gun.
-Or perhaps a redraw of some scene where they meet in canon.
-Some play on the cop/criminal dynamic: Mariah in handcuffs? Or maybe Misty in handcuffs, with the tables turned.
-Alternatively, just a picture of them making out would be lovely.
The Perilous Gard:
For this fandom I requested The Lady/Kate Sutton with either fanfic or fanart. It's been a while since I read the book, so my ideas are all pretty rough, but I do think it's a ship with a ton of potential. The Lady certainly does respect Kate Sutton, and at the same time the power imbalance and otherworldliness is lovely.
Fic prompts:
-Kate fails to save Christopher or forgets he exists, and continues to live with the Fair Folk, slowly growing closer to the Lady.
-Kate is the offering rather than Christopher, and the Lady should be busy convincing her she's nothing... but maybe, as she grows to know Kate, she thinks Kate is Something instead. Or maybe it is traditional for the Lady to offer herself to the offering before the offering is killed, as a special honor.
-Something post-canon: An AU where Kate doesn't marry Christopher and instead goes on the road with the Lady? Or maybe even a story where she does, but still is haunted by the Lady?
Art prompts:
-Anything showing the ambience of the underground halls.
-Maybe something showing Kate's lack of power--Kate looking hypnotized or Kate in bondage.
-Any illustration of a canon scene with the two together.
Phantom of the Opera:
I'm only requesting Carlotta/Christine here, for fic or art. I've requested them before, so look at old letters if you want. Basically I love these two in a lot of ways. Rivalry? Mentorship? Age difference? Alliance of divas? I'll take whatever you want to give me.
Fic prompts:
-Christine has been warned away from Carlotta by the Angel of Music, but surely anyone who sings so well and is so beautiful can't be all that bad. If she tries to befriend Carlotta, will Carlotta be nasty or manipulative in return, or do they have a chance at an honest relationship?
-Any kind of operatic or theatrical roleplay or symbolism between the two. Obviously Il Muto or Hannibal or Faust are the most convenient options, but if you want to play with a different play or opera, it's fine with me.
-Carlotta takes her sabotage a little too far and hurts Christine in some way. Later she regrets it; how can she make it better?
-Any AU where Raoul and Christine are each other's beards is fun, by the way.
Art prompts:
-The costumes! Hannibal costumes, Il Muto costumes, or even their casual dress (I love Christine's blue dress during Notes). Cross dressing, maybe? Especially from Serafimo Christine?
-Picture of Carlotta and Christine arguing, maybe Carlotta towering over Christine and Christine with her hands on her hips, or one pinning the other to a wall.
-Backstage makeouts ;)
-Carlotta protecting Christine from Erik or from some nosy managers.
-One Carlotta actress I love is Wendy Ferguson; however, I'm fine with any version of Carlotta or Christine you prefer.
Sense8:
I love so many ships for Sense8, especially the femslash. I'm requesting Sun/Soo-jin, Sun/Kala, and Kala/Lila. Just fic here. For this fandom I especially love characters being bi, pan and/or poly, so you don't necessarily need to break any canon ships up, and you can even throw in other couples you like if you want, or mix and match.
Fic prompts:
-Lila takes Kala as a hostage to use against the cluster. Obviously this isn't going to end well (or will it?)
-Lila and Kala have a psychic bond post-canon because their eyes met when Lila shot Kala. They use this to try to gain information but also to visit and snipe at each other.
-AU where Lila's part of the cluster instead of Wolfgang.
-Sun teaches Kala allll about sex.
-Sun and Kala helping each other through crises like solitary confinement, Sun's father's death, maybe Kala's marriage falling apart or her father in law being shot.
-Sun and Kala meet at a business conference as representatives of their respective companies.
-On the run from the law, Sun goes to Mumbai where Kala can shelter her.
-Sun and Soo-jin both escape jail together and go on the run, possibly forming a dynamic duo in an AU finale.
-Sun tells Soo-jin about the cluster. Maybe Soo-jin believes, maybe she doesn't.
-Sun protects Soo-jin from another, violent prisoner.
Stranger Things:
I've requested Kali/Nancy before and I'm requesting it again, for either art or fanfic. You can check my squee in another letter...here I'll stick to prompts.
Fic prompts:
-Nancy the college girl runs into Kali the local vigilante when Kali kills one of her professors who used to work for the Labs (or for some other contrived reason).
-Kali tracks El down and stays in Hawkins a while. She wants to convince El to leave with her but the longer she stays, the more certain individuals in Hawkins grow on her (cough Nancy cough).
-Kali and Nancy fighting supernatural beasts together! Stranded in the upside down together! Imprisoned in the labs together! Adventure duo!
-Nancy rescues Kali from imprisonment in the labs, or vice versa.
-Pure, kinky sex.
Art prompts:
-No explicit sex but makeouts and kinkiness welcome.
-Kali's hair is so fuckign good.
-Illusions!
-Facing down a demogorgon with baseball bats!
Twelfth Night:
I really love Viola/Olivia. So much. Especially Viola. Man. ESPECIALLY THE CESARIO AND CROSSDRESSING. Please, if you can, keep my butch/crossdressing/genderfucking Viola, I love her so much.
Also this is femslash but if you want to make Viola-Cesario genderqueer or perhaps gender fluid, I'm down for that. But I'd rather the fic not get too technical or go too in depth with modern ways of thinking about gender and modern terminology. If Viola is sometimes Cesario and that's how it be, cool. I can see Olivia being fine with that. Or if Viola thinks of herself as a woman but still prefers the name Cesario, that's cool.
Just, any kind of gender play is very fun with this ship. And identity porn, lots of identity porn. And alll the dramatic irony.
Fic prompts:
-Viola goes to Olivia's court right from the get-go, sneaking in since she won't receive visitors, maybe climbing in a window or maybe just harrassing her way past the guards. Olivia doesn't want to receive petitions but Viola is too pitiful and charming to turn down.
-Cesario reveals himself to be a woman to make Olivia see that their relationship is impossible, but Olivia doesn't see it that way, and with some persuasion, Viola changes her mind too.
-When Viola's gender is revealed, she still refuses Orsino's proposal--she considers them very intimate friends, but that's it. Orsino's flustered, but Olivia is confusedly delighted. Now she understands why Viola was hesitant to be with her... and she can still make her own advances. (in this AU she doesn't marry Sebastian.)
Art prompts:
-I love the 1996 version of Twelfth Night with Imogen Stubbs and Helena Bonham Carter, but feel free to use whatever version of these two you like. Only, don't get super modern please. 1996 version isn't Renaissance but it's no college AU either.
-Talking in the garden.
-The Cesario suit, pleeeeease. Just, crossdressing.
-Or...maybe...Olivia taking the Cesario clothes off ;)
This letter is currently a WIP.

-Limited palettes.

Phantom of the Opera:
I'm only requesting Carlotta/Christine here, for fic or art. I've requested them before, so look at old letters if you want. Basically I love these two in a lot of ways. Rivalry? Mentorship? Age difference? Alliance of divas? I'll take whatever you want to give me.
Fic prompts:
-Christine has been warned away from Carlotta by the Angel of Music, but surely anyone who sings so well and is so beautiful can't be all that bad. If she tries to befriend Carlotta, will Carlotta be nasty or manipulative in return, or do they have a chance at an honest relationship?
-Any kind of operatic or theatrical roleplay or symbolism between the two. Obviously Il Muto or Hannibal or Faust are the most convenient options, but if you want to play with a different play or opera, it's fine with me.
-Carlotta takes her sabotage a little too far and hurts Christine in some way. Later she regrets it; how can she make it better?
-Any AU where Raoul and Christine are each other's beards is fun, by the way.

-Picture of Carlotta and Christine arguing, maybe Carlotta towering over Christine and Christine with her hands on her hips, or one pinning the other to a wall.
-Backstage makeouts ;)
-Carlotta protecting Christine from Erik or from some nosy managers.
-One Carlotta actress I love is Wendy Ferguson; however, I'm fine with any version of Carlotta or Christine you prefer.
Sense8:
I love so many ships for Sense8, especially the femslash. I'm requesting Sun/Soo-jin, Sun/Kala, and Kala/Lila. Just fic here. For this fandom I especially love characters being bi, pan and/or poly, so you don't necessarily need to break any canon ships up, and you can even throw in other couples you like if you want, or mix and match.
Fic prompts:
-Lila takes Kala as a hostage to use against the cluster. Obviously this isn't going to end well (or will it?)
-Lila and Kala have a psychic bond post-canon because their eyes met when Lila shot Kala. They use this to try to gain information but also to visit and snipe at each other.
-AU where Lila's part of the cluster instead of Wolfgang.
-Sun teaches Kala allll about sex.
-Sun and Kala helping each other through crises like solitary confinement, Sun's father's death, maybe Kala's marriage falling apart or her father in law being shot.

Stranger Things:
I've requested Kali/Nancy before and I'm requesting it again, for either art or fanfic. You can check my squee in another letter...here I'll stick to prompts.
Fic prompts:
-Nancy the college girl runs into Kali the local vigilante when Kali kills one of her professors who used to work for the Labs (or for some other contrived reason).
-Kali tracks El down and stays in Hawkins a while. She wants to convince El to leave with her but the longer she stays, the more certain individuals in Hawkins grow on her (cough Nancy cough).
-Kali and Nancy fighting supernatural beasts together! Stranded in the upside down together! Imprisoned in the labs together! Adventure duo!
-Nancy rescues Kali from imprisonment in the labs, or vice versa.
-Pure, kinky sex.
Art prompts:
-No explicit sex but makeouts and kinkiness welcome.
-Kali's hair is so fuckign good.
-Illusions!
-Facing down a demogorgon with baseball bats!
Twelfth Night:
I really love Viola/Olivia. So much. Especially Viola. Man. ESPECIALLY THE CESARIO AND CROSSDRESSING. Please, if you can, keep my butch/crossdressing/genderfucking Viola, I love her so much.
Also this is femslash but if you want to make Viola-Cesario genderqueer or perhaps gender fluid, I'm down for that. But I'd rather the fic not get too technical or go too in depth with modern ways of thinking about gender and modern terminology. If Viola is sometimes Cesario and that's how it be, cool. I can see Olivia being fine with that. Or if Viola thinks of herself as a woman but still prefers the name Cesario, that's cool.
Just, any kind of gender play is very fun with this ship. And identity porn, lots of identity porn. And alll the dramatic irony.
Fic prompts:
-Viola goes to Olivia's court right from the get-go, sneaking in since she won't receive visitors, maybe climbing in a window or maybe just harrassing her way past the guards. Olivia doesn't want to receive petitions but Viola is too pitiful and charming to turn down.
-Cesario reveals himself to be a woman to make Olivia see that their relationship is impossible, but Olivia doesn't see it that way, and with some persuasion, Viola changes her mind too.
-When Viola's gender is revealed, she still refuses Orsino's proposal--she considers them very intimate friends, but that's it. Orsino's flustered, but Olivia is confusedly delighted. Now she understands why Viola was hesitant to be with her... and she can still make her own advances. (in this AU she doesn't marry Sebastian.)
Art prompts:
-I love the 1996 version of Twelfth Night with Imogen Stubbs and Helena Bonham Carter, but feel free to use whatever version of these two you like. Only, don't get super modern please. 1996 version isn't Renaissance but it's no college AU either.
-Talking in the garden.
-The Cesario suit, pleeeeease. Just, crossdressing.
-Or...maybe...Olivia taking the Cesario clothes off ;)
