Hi there, and thanks for creating for me! Yuletide is always one of my favourite exchanges to browse, and I'm excited to see whatever you'll come up with. I’m omnivorous and easygoing, so please don't worry about the details below, they're just springboards if you're stuck; I love many things on the scale of dark and weird to joyful and mellow. You can go in other directions or dust off an old piece as long as you respect DNWs.

Treats are always welcome. I can be found elsewhere at

NSFW Likes

I love very emotionally intense or character-driven sex. I love fraughtness as much as characters exploring a kink just 'because', or kink that sheds light on new aspects of relationship dynamics. I also enjoy sex as a way to process trauma or intimate interface for embodiment, complicated histories/dynamics, and more. I'm cool with past sexual assault being referenced or sex needing to stop because of old wounds/trauma, for instance.

Most of all, I'm great with so-called 'vanilla' sex (fingering, oral, penetrative, grinding), but I'm also very into Liminal and Weird Sex, such as dreamsharing, sex you can't be sure is happening, sex where the script changes because you're applying it to a monster/eldritch horror, or symbolic/metaphorical sex (e.g., sex as apotheosis), and so much more. This list is general because I don't always have specific kinks I like to see, so if you want to write a kink because you think it's fitting for the characters or setting, please go for it!

List of Requests

Blue Eye Samurai

Akemi, Mizu

I adore their unexpected commonalities and how clearly they see each other, in a universe where social webs of discrimination and misunderstanding reign supreme; they're both attuned to characteristics in each other that other people ignore such as anger and resourcefulness, while seeing through the ones that are socially valorised like Akemi's talent for sweet words and flattery. I'd be down to hear your take on how they might cleave under some layers with each other to touch and connect with the hidden substrates of anger in each other, even as their inevitable divisions exist and intervene. Scenes that presage more, beginnings of something deeper, alternative pre-canon accidental meetings, looks at both of them slash-and-burning their way through Japan's norms in their own high vs. "low" avenues would all be welcome!

Episode 5 was a highlight for me, what with the metafictional staging of Mizu's backstory and the way we learn about some key components for what makes Mizu tick: the constant proof that the other shoe will drop in others' reception of her because of Mikio and her mother turning her back on her, the incongruity of her talents with the domestic sphere, her sobering acknowledgement--but not total personal belief--that her talent for swordsmanship will always be inherently parsed as threatening by accidents of societal position. With all that in mind Akemi's one of the best-positioned people to explode those assumptions in Mizu's worldview and vice versa too, and I'd be delighted to read your take on what they learn, or take away from each other, or even any dissonant neuroses they make each other devolve towards if you fancy. No need for full-on happy endings or even conventionally requited feelings here -- if you see them parting ways eventually but still indelibly emancipating each other amidst their separation that'd still be a fantastically romantic story to me!

I'll admit I was ambivalent on Akemi's "I want to be great" and shogunate arc, but more because of the how than the what -- I thought her bridge declaration was a moment of character undevelopment for her earlier realisations about the prisonhood of her station, and I wasn't fully convinced of "girlboss her way through" as a coherent answer to all the discontents of her fate. There is more than a single path! That said: you don't have to shun that arc at all, I'm happy to read your take on BES's rich canon tapestry. However if you like me have wrung your hands trying to decide on a more fulfilling arc for Akemi as if you're Akemi personal college counsellor then I am equally down for your most bombastic, out-there, or covert subversion of her canon fate(s). Akemi maintains ties to a underground network of spies and intelligence made up of the women she met in the brothel? She ekes out spaces of escape from the imperial palace(s)? Go for it!

That first encounter on the bridge: what went through Mizu's mind? What things made Akemi stick clearly in Mizu's mind, beyond the fact that she's a lady?
Incongruous domesticity, or: I like the idea that Mizu and Akemi would probably be horrible at domestic chores, Mizu by canonical confirmation and Akemi by inference (see: her highborn station); feel free to give me disasters that would ensue from them living together, and how domesticity might take a backseat to their respective quests and simply form a backdrop for other political/extralegal (i.e. Mizu's revenge quest) developments.
AUs where Mizu and Akemi stay longer at the brothel; scenes exploring the brothel's impact on them.
AUs where Mizu arrives at the bridge earlier, doesn't go to England, and compels Akemi to go on the run with her.
Alternative formats: I'm open to in-universe looks at Mizu/Akemi's relationship through historical documents or artefacts set in the future.

And entirely optional ideas/headcanons:

Akemi possessing knowledge of historical instances of gender non-conformity like onna-musha from all that reading and teasing/taunting Mizu with YOU THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL? all while Mizu is like: 🥹
Akemi and Mizu respecting each other's respective skills in craftsmanship.
I'm quite taken with water as a metaphor for Mizu: to shamelessly quote one of my friends Mizu is a thoroughly relational character whose modes of connection with the world are tragically shut off by that same world, and like water she relies on inputs, ecology, a place in a wider world.

I'm cool with any treatment of Mizu's pronouns though I use she/her personally - write what you're comfortable with!

Some of my DNWs are waived for this fandom; I'm fine with depictions of Mizu/Mikio but would rather not see detailed descriptions of sex for Akemi/Taigen or Akemi/Takayoshi. Given Akemi's position as of the finale, I'm fine with her being conscious of expectations to produce heirs, but would rather not see her written as someone uncomplicatedly embracing parenthood or motherhood without being aware of it as a politically necessary move.

I'm also fine with M/F sex being in the background given the general setting and the fact that the show is set in brothels for part of the time but would prefer as little emphasis on M/F noncon in the worldbuilding/setting as possible.

Exordia - Seth Dickinson

Any Character(s) (Arîn Tawakuli, Blackbird, Rosamaria-Blackbird, Iruvage, Jiyan "Anna" Sinjari, Khaje Sinjari, Ssenenet, Ssrinsahautha-ku-Ssraaa | Ssrin, Worldbuilding)

I mean it. Go buckwild with featuring any of the tagset characters! Exordia is the new shiny fascinating fandom taking up residence in my brain. I don't have a lot of specific ideas, but I'm intrigued to see your take on Exordian empire shenanigans, the characters' fates in the BIG SENTIENT SPACESHIP, the ethics of drone strikes, the ugly human costs of American imperialism and exceptionalism, and I'm fine if you mix upsetting historical events with crylaugh-inducing gallows humour like the canon does. I think this book is begging for worldbuilding excavations too, so feel free to take any of the many events that likely made you go "WTF was that?" and dig into it.

I'm curious about that framework of narrative importance powering genocide and imperialism -- and it could be interesting for this canon to broach events which blur the lines between free will and uhhhh narrative convenience (in the Exordian sense) among characters we've already seen. Especially if you bring in the eightfold passions!

In general however I do appreciate how Seth writes the Tawakuli women as strategists and resourceful people than simply recipients of geopolitical menaces, whose historical pain may be marginal in the narratives of American imperialist projects but are in fact central to the mechanisms of subjugation. I like that nobody in Tawakul really finds it strange for Tawakul to be so central to intergalactic geopolitics -- because there is no split between 'normal' geopolitics and what happens to the everyday lives of remote or marginalised peoples.

A rough grouping of characters and prompts:

The Kurdistan troupe (Arîn, Khaje, Jiyan "Anna" Sinjari)

I wish we'd gotten to see more of life in Tawakul and some of my favourite hysterical moments were the conversations between Arîn and Khaje. Please feel free to give cursed domestic moments with a drunk utterly parenting-indifferent Khaje who has to fend off an Arîn trying enthusiastically to adopt her as a surrogate mother.
Cursed domestic life with Ssrin after the whole New York prelude. How does Ssrin fend in the company of humans of the same breed who are nonetheless so different and armed??
AU or headcanon... thing... that Arîn may be Anna's hesper-mate. If so, gee, isn't it supremely convenient that Tawakul had the conditions to birth someone like Arîn?! This and more free will questions in the local news o'clock in Tawakul.
Does Rosamaria-Blackbird conjure up a Space Uber at some point and return to earth to visit Arîn?
One thing that breaks my heart is how Arîn and Anna's positions are reversed by the end: Arîn's the ""exile"" who has to leave her community behind, and Anna is... part of something again. I'd love explorations of them as foils and parallels!

I'm cool with Khaje/Anna, Arîn/Anna, and any and all relationships.

Love Island in Space! (Blackbird, Rosamaria-Blackbird, everyone on the spaceship at the end)

Self-explanatory title, sorry. Um, but yes, shenanigans?! Weird grief-fuelled loopy adventures? Dark warped Doctor Who-style visits to planets and sinister doppelgangers?
Sex pollen/fuck or die scenarios. Rosabird has the worst idea of how to make humans relax. Along these lines: everyone gets dosed with a truth serum. Nobody has a good time.
More little magical cannibalism.

When a snake loves another snake very much... (Ssrin, Ssenenet)

Haha, I'm sorry (again). The title was my silly segue for lesbian sister-snake incest but in honest terms I'm just down for anything that explores their history and Childhood on Exordia, gen or not or blurring the lines between. I'm also intrigued by all the lingering descriptions of Ssrin's womb at the end of the book?! What's going on there? Did Ssenenet do something to her? How did they end up on opposite sides of a bloodthirsty intergalactic conflict?

THANK YOU, NEXT (Iruvage, Ssrin, Iruvage's ~~favourite~~ most reviled humans)

Iruvage endeared me with his stuck caps-lock button. I love that he is SO campy. You could write an entire first-person villain monologue from me and I'd lap it up.
The hint that Iruvage might have had a lesbian hook-up with human!Rosamaria???
Where does Iruvage go? What was Iruvage like in snake alien school? What insufferable philosophy bro disses or things has Iruvage done in his lifetime?
Iruvage the hopeless romantic for his patron.

舞妓さんちのまかないさん | The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House (TV)

Any Character(s)

I love what this show does with sisterhood and community, and I love Hirokazu Kore-eda's poetic directing style! I'm cool with various tones, including ones more pensive, slightly more dark, and bittersweet than the show's. For any pairings here, feel free to bring in all the cultural, culinary, and historical details you want or may know, and feature other characters seen in the show like Tsurukoma, Kikuno, Kotono, etc. and write about other parts of life in Kyoto, generally.

I've written ideas for some possible configurations of characters below, but if inspiration for a different ensemble of people strikes you please go ahead. I'm also down for bringing in ALL the side character(s) of this show or exploring interactions between unexpected characters, please surprise me!

Mother Azusa & Ryoko

I love bittersweet and complicated mother-daughter relationships so I’d just be thrilled to see any further fic dwelling on or developing their relationship. How does Ryoko feel about Mother Azusa’s bond with her “nominative” daughters? What does Ryoko yearn for from her mother? What sides of Mother Azusa does Ryoko see that the maiko may not? How do things change post-canon, when people are moving on from the maiko house?

Momoko & Yoshino

They’re both “alumni” of the maiko house but they followed such different paths, only to converge again during the show! Their dynamic’s fascinating to me as a result; Yoshino is worldly but less committed to being a maiko, and I sense that beneath their differences they both share the same desire to push back against some geiko traditions. How does Momoko regard Yoshino and do they come to new understandings? Did Yoshino know Momoko’s real, non-geiko name? What scenes might’ve happened in their training days? Or anything else, really! Momoko/Yoshino would be welcome if you’re considering it.

Kiyo & Sumire | Momohana

Food as a love language… :,) Their bond drives much of the show and I love how careful and tender they are with each other. The fact that others in the house pick up on it and compare them to a husband-and-wife pair too (!!). How do things change after Sumire’s inauguration as a geiko? How does Kiyo feel about her new name—are there any ambivalences? What things do they carry with them from home, and how do the seasons (interpreted widely) unfold for them? Kiyo/Sumire is fine and welcome if you feel like writing it.

Momoko & Sumire | Momohana

Love their mentor/mentee relationship; what about Momoko teaching Momohana more dances, wisdom about their trade, and showing a different, quirkier side of herself to Momohana? Momohana seeing things through Momoko’s eyes while developing her own style and identity as a geiko? Do they push back against or subvert any geiko history or traditions together?

Shogun (TV 2024)

Toda Mariko, Ochiba No Kata, Usami Fuji

Shogun captivated me with its competently and intricately written political intrigue, and I love the unconventional, fulfilling p/bathos of its ending. I think its runtime was perfect and little was superfluous in its pacing. That said: I'm now craving excavations of its women of all stripes, from their backstories to their philosophies and worldviews, as well as just spending time unpacking all the worldbuilding goldmines in this show. If you wish I wouldn't mind any incorporation, inspiration from, or allusions to real-world Japanese history and would in fact be elated to see the literary/cultural/historical details that enchant you.

I've selected giver's choice for this fandom and would love any stripe of gen or f/f you want to write, but I'd also like to put it out there that I'm fine with any configuration of F/F between Fuji, Mariko, and Ochiba no Kata/Ruri, including multiple pairings in a single fic if you like.

References to Mariko's husband or her relationship with Blackthorne are fine, but I'd be grateful if you avoid on-screen descriptions of M/F sex or endgame Mariko/Blackthorne.

Toda Mariko

Life stories, poetry, her negotiations of the line between Catholicism and Shintoism and Buddhism.
AU where Mariko survives (it was an elaborate ploy all along!) and goes incognito or undercover after.
Post-canon meditations or studies of grief from other characters about Mariko.
All of Mariko's scenes with Ruri/Ochiba no Kata made my heart sing. To... shamelessly cite myself, I'm sorry... I wrote a little about them here. There's lots of history there! I'm taken with how clearly and piercingly they see each other, so agonisingly so that it's difficult for them to make direct eye contact during that interpretation in the garden scene. All this happens while they're dancing across a chessboard of politics, resentment, and wistful pining for what they've each lost over the years!
Mariko and Ochiba are, imho, the perfect candidates for the "If I must solve a dozen geopolitical problems just to have sex with you then I will" trope.
AUs where Mariko... somehow... ends up attached to Ochiba no Kata's entourage instead and works as an interpreter for her with all the blurring of professional and personal boundaries that entails.

Usami Fuji

In a show full of people weathering adverse circumstances and difficult choices, I think Fuji's are some of the ones that have touched me the most. I'd be delighted by any snapshots of her life in a nunnery or canon-divergent scenarios where she crosses paths with Mariko, Ochiba no Kata, or any of the women in Shogun more!

Ochiba no Kata

More loaded confrontations with Mariko.
Ochiba no Kata exuded an insane amount of presence in the show, but I'm curious -- who is she when behind screens and out of visibility? How does she parse her own decisions and/or trajectory to herself?

The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin

Ashe Foreth rem ir Osboth, Arek Harth rem ir Estraven, Therem Harth rem ir Estraven

This book is simultaneously close to my heart and something I’m incoherent about, so I apologise for the brief prompts below! TLDR: I’d love to see your take on these relationships. Any configuration of the requested characters is welcome, although I mainly have prompts for Ashe/Therem and Arek/Therem below. Feel very free to bring in worldbuilding (working off myths, folklore, economics, architecture or social customs, politics, kemmer, etc.) or explore and extend implied scenes, pick at that lingering plot detail that stuck out to you, and so forth. I love Le Guin’s anthropological eye, and minutiae of life on Winter is welcome.

I’m fine with any treatment of Gethenian pronouns, though I’m slightly fond of the universal ‘she’ in some of Le Guin’s short stories in this universe. We perceive much of Gethenian gender through Genly's eyes, so I'm intrigued by the idea of seeing a Gethenian's insider perspective on their gender system or the sociality/performativity of gender, beyond what we hear from Therem, as well as any slants of gender that are 'alien' (to humans in Le Guin's universe) but also humanised. Along those lines... I'm down to hear about how different Terran humans may have a big internal heterogeneity of positions relative to the big ~cultural cloud of gender~ themselves, and if notions of gender change for Terrans who are racialised/gendered in different nuances or shades.

I've selected giver's choice and am fine with any configuration of characters or pairings appearing in fic. Some ideas for possible pairings below (but please don't limit yourself):

Ashe Foreth rem ir Osboth/Therem Harth rem ir Estraven
What a tragic relationship; I’m down for first meetings, things unsaid but affecting them from Estraven’s past, or a look at how their relationship might’ve been like before things soured and after the souring began. Feel free to give focus to Ashe’s life; I’m interested in how Ashe’s role as a Foreteller (or aspirations to it) shaped them both, including after their separation. If Estraven survives, do they meet one last (bitter) time, or get closure?

Arek Harth rem ir Estraven/Therem Harth rem ir Estraven

Moments from their early lives together; when or how they fell in love. Did it happen gradually?
Their kemmers; how they felt about the myth they were named after.
Arek as a metaphorical (or literal?) ghost haunting Estraven’s subconscious. (Dead-ended) desires for reunion from Estraven with their sibling.

I like the theory that Arek died by suicide (like in the Gethenian tales about doomed kemmerings), but I’m not beholden to it and I think alternative ones are just as interesting; other takes are welcome!

We Are Lady Parts

Saira, Ayesha, Bisma, Momtaz

This show is equal parts moving and hilarious and I love everything from the band's witty songs to Saira's unbeatable romantic tension with every woman she talks with to their dynamic together. I've watched Season 2 as well, so feel to bring in events from it. I've selected giver's choice and mean it: write any configuration of the requested characters that compels you!

I have a soft spot for Saira/Ayesha, in contrast to prevailing fandom preferences, but I'm fine with any permutation between Saira, Ayesha, Bisma, and Momtaz. You don't have to explain anything to me about current canon girlfriends or boyfriends or whatever either -- you can just handwave them if you prefer!

Totally optional prompts:

I'd love to see that in-universe Saira/Ayesha RPF fanfiction people were writing. Feel free to write the band reading or reacting -- or even work in more serious things about celebrity and public/private personas and the lived complexity of that split for Muslim musicians nested within London Islamic communities if you like!
I have an amateur pet interest in fashion, so if you want to dress the band members up in more androgynous outfits or taking up more modelling gigs and exploring/exploding the twisty absurdist world of photography and acting I'm down for it! How about more of Saira sticking to her guns or trying to find some way to do an endorsement that doesn't have to rely on capitalist logics... unless?!
Behind-the-scenes songwriting, explorations of each member's unique voices or songwriting processes. This genre-bending show is ripe for it, so: please feel free to add a magical realist twist.
I love that many main characters we see have 'typically' working-class jobs like food delivery/Uber drivers, butchers, and posties -- it's rare to see 'rise of a band' or storylines with similar cachet given to people in cosmopolitan London boroughs. Do the band members get any inspiration for songs from their jobs and the absolutely wrecked work landscape of London? Or more vignettes of their mundane competences outside of band moments.

Hi there, and thanks so much for creating for me! All the pairings here are dear to my heart, and I can't wait to see what you’ll come up with. I’m an omnivorous and easygoing reader, so my only rule is for you to create what you'll enjoy — I genuinely love many things on the scale of dark and weird to joyful and mellow. Details here are entirely optional; you can use other ideas or simply dust off an old draft as long as you respect my DNWs. I'm

meikuree on Tumblr and

meikuree/

delegation on AO3, and you can read my past exchange letters here. All requests are for fic.

Due to time constraints I’ve written simpler prompts in some places and… left in more verbiage in others, but that's only because I had unhinged Discord conversations with friends to poach ideas from for some fandoms; it’s not an indication of enthusiasm by any means!

Treats of any medium are very welcome, including after the exchange.

List of Requests

Blue Eye Samurai

Akemi/Mizu

Apologies for how late this is! I've been waylaid by illness. I adore their unexpected commonalities and how clearly they see each other, in a universe where social webs of discrimination and misunderstanding reign supreme; they're both attuned to characteristics in each other that other people ignore such as anger and resourcefulness, while seeing through the ones that are socially valorised like Akemi's talent for sweet words and flattery. I'd be down to hear your take on how they might cleave under some layers with each other to touch and connect with the hidden substrates of anger in each other, even as their inevitable divisions exist and intervene. Scenes that presage more, beginnings of something deeper, alternative pre-canon accidental meetings, looks at both of them slash-and-burning their way through Japan's norms in their own high vs. "low" avenues would all be welcome!

That first encounter on the bridge: what went through Mizu's mind? What things made Akemi stick clearly in Mizu's mind, beyond the fact that she's a lady?
Incongruous domesticity, or: I like the idea that Mizu and Akemi would probably be horrible at domestic chores, Mizu by canonical confirmation and Akemi by inference (see: her highborn station); feel free to give me disasters that would ensue from them living together, and how domesticity might take a backseat to their respective quests and simply form a backdrop for other political/extralegal (i.e. Mizu's revenge quest) developments.
AUs where Mizu and Akemi stay longer at the brothel; scenes exploring the brothel's impact on them.
AUs where Mizu arrives at the bridge earlier, doesn't go to England, and compels Akemi to go on the run with her.
Alternative formats: I'm open to in-universe looks at Mizu/Akemi's relationship through historical documents or artefacts set in the future.

Dragon Age

Leliana/Marjolaine

I've a weakness for mentor/protege relationships gone sour and narratives about broken pedestals, so these two are iddy to me. AUs where Marjolaine survives, or Leliana reminiscing (ambivalently) about Marjolaine in DA:I? Marjolaine's influences haunting and creeping into the present, literally as a ghost or not? More pre-canon looks and inappropriate closeness between the two of them.

Disco Elysium

I adore this game to bits, especially its vast sprawling lore and underlying currents of warmth and humanity, the Eastern European-flavoured setting, all its notes about hopefulness in (and especially because of) people surviving in a shitsack world. Feel free to unleash your inner Inland Empire and go wild with stylistic quirks, formatting, coy historical or meta references, cracky premises played straight, and so forth. Anything you want to explore about these pairings, based off canon lore or reaching into out-there territory (this is a magical realist-ish canon, after all), would be wonderful.

Dolores Dei/Irene La Navigateur

Moral quandaries; Dolores Dei's rises and downfalls; honesty about the age of imperialism Dolores Dei was responsible for catalysing; these two are very complicated historical figures and I'd love a look at them, with eyes wide open about their crimes in the narrative.

Feel free to bring in alternative formats like historical articles, protest fliers, songs, in-universe media about them, etc.!

Klaasje Amandou/Revachol

Saw this in the tagset and went, oh, yes. I loved things like the Shivers monologues and more from Klaasje's perspective would be great, but let your imagination run free: conversations, cosmic horror, poisoned love letters (interpreted liberally) from Klaasje to Revachol? Klaasje doing things to feel close to Revachol or to just feel something? Lonely walks out upon the rainy streets at night? Vignettes or visions from The Pale, about broken dreams or alternate lives? Maps, borders, territories. What would fake dating or being in a no-strings-attached relationship with a city be like? What would cityfucking be like, conceptually or not? Revachol's been through much tragedy and bloodshed, and Klaasje's a person marked by regrets and hang-ups herself too. I'm curious about themes and commonalities they could share (on a narrative- and character-level).

Klaasje Amandou/Ruby

Classic ambiguous and/or #rancid vibes and romance... smoking together, Ruby shows Klaasje her truck with her secret Rita Haywood poster collection or something, Klaasje admiring Ruby's physique (she seems to like muscles, huh...) and them broaching intimate depths in conversations, fabricated childhoods and painful pasts, etc. all under a veneer of nonchalance?

Lilienne Carter/Joyce Messier

Dear nominator: you have a fantastic and huge brain; these two could be great mirrors and foils to each other. I imagine there's a huge gulf of position between them in terms of class, privilege, wealth, mobility -- what about scenarios where they both get stuck in the Pale, or switch positions for a day? Might Lilienne work to overthrow the Wild Pines Company? Is Joyce not as heterosexual as players may assume her to be? (She is, indeed, an unreliable narrator herself.)

Soona Luukanen-Kilde/Novelty Dicemaker

There are hints she and Neha knew each other while Soona was programming for the failed game studio. Maybe they meet and talk about their crafts, plus the not-at-all ominous hole in the world? Reminisce and commiserate about past days? Pranking people who call or enter the Doomed Commercial District together? Neha customises a pair of dice for Soona, Soona tries to craft technologically-inspired flowers out of computer parts and flowers? Philosophical chats about precarity and what it means to try, and try again in their world?

呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Manga)

Ieiri Shoko/Iori Utahime

Missed chances, old school friends, reconnecting as adults... I love how bittersweet these two are and I'd love to see your take on them! Perhaps them meeting again during Shibuya?

Ieiri Shoko/Kugisaki Nobara

I'm down for all the power dynamics and fucky relationship happenings with these two; I don't mind Nobara entreating herself to Shoko even as they both know it's a terrible idea to get involved. Is Nobara drawn to Shoko because she seems cool and collected on the surface, even if she's a crumbling heap beneath? I like the idea of painplay for these two, but I wouldn't mind a more off-kilter look where the relationship feels "internally" healthy even if to an outsider they would look terribly messed up.

Zenin Mai/Zenin Maki

Yin/yang motifs, the poetic cinema of dying the same way you were born (by your sister's side, in the water), the inherent homoeroticism of your sister being your first love... these two hurt my heart in the best way. Give me relationship studies, bitter breakups, snapshots of their lives in the Zenin house... anything! Anything about their love and complicated devotion to each other.

AUs where Mai survives, and things get better—or worse?
Found documents, a catalogue of personal artefacts in Mai and Maki's rooms; Maki looking through Mai's belongings after 149, perhaps. Alternative formats that hint at their lives in the Zenin house!
Epistolary: unsent letters, a history of Mai's emotions in her first term or year in Kyoto. When does Mai figure out that she might have to sacrifice herself one day? Why does she hesitate with telling Maki?
Maki meeting Mai in her dreams, processing her grief; Mai-sword conversations (?) and shenanigans.
Kinky ideas: gunplay or gunfucking, dream sex, bathtub sex (amniotic fluid imagery and metaphors, perhaps?), misuse of cursed techniques.
Revolutionary Girl Utena AUs, with Mai as a Black Rose duellist.

Kugisaki Nobara/Zenin Mai

Mean girl 4 mean girl ship of my heart! I love their prickly banter but I'd also love to see any explorations of them possibly getting to a place of understanding with each other. I'm besotted by their clash in values, worldviews, backgrounds and opinions most of all. I'm open to AUs where Mai survives (instead of Maki?) and they have to navigate the world after. Or outsider POVs from Maki's perspective. Or situations where Nobara starts out admiring Maki and then realises Mai's the real gem she's after.

Kugisaki Nobara/Zenin Mai/Zenin Maki

A classic. There's the well-loved dynamic with the three of them being in a polyamorous relationship, but I'd love to see your take, including if it ventures into different ground! I'm fine with major canon divergences like both twins never joining the jujutsu school(s) and meeting Nobara some other way. I'm also open to Mai and Maki mutually pining while having a ~thing~ with Nobara and/or having fights over who gets to take her out, lol.

Zenin Mai/Zenin Mai and Maki's Mother
Zenin Mai and Maki's Mother/Zenin Maki
Zenin Mai/Zenin Mai and Maki's Mother/Zenin Maki

Going to be upfront: my prompts for this pairing are deranged and likely fall under several umbrellas of dirtybadwrong, but if you already have something else in mind, please go ahead; I'd love to see it! Maki's matricide has simply given me a craving for deep dives into her dynamic with her mother. I'm intrigued by Maki's unresolved issues and lack of closure for her relationship with her mother, and simply imagine that Mai probably went through a similarly tumultuous relationship with her.

I'm down for darker themes, including but not limited to abuses/imbalances of power from their mother, springing out of the Zenin clan's repressive and claustrophobic environment.

Prompts below were written for both Mai/her mother and Maki/her mother, but feel free to disregard whatever's not relevant. You can also read on for my rambling if you want more details on what I think about their dynamic.

Mother-daughter dubcon, in either direction; canon-divergent AUs where Maki leaves, and her mother is driven to seek comfort in her due to grief or the general stress of, uh, being a woman in the Zenin clan.
Period sex, finger sucking, misuses of ceremonies and grand occasions for sex, with or without dubcon.
The twins' mother forming a bond with Mai or using her as a pawn to piss off their father.
Late night meetings that cross the boundaries into abuse or other transgressions.
"Educational" sex, Mai involuntarily losing her virginity to their mother under the guise of her mother trying to teach her about what to expect... Mai feeling conflicted afterwards, especially if she'd wanted to do it with Maki instead.
AUs where Mai or Maki return home from the technical schools, and having to reckon with the threat (indirect or not) of their mother.
AU where Maki leaves her mother alive, and they deal afterwards (or not) with their grief and complicated feelings over Mai's death.

Given what we know of the Zenin clan, I think it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine that the twins’ mother was isolated in a ‘lonely at the top’ way, with a… husband like Zenin Ougi… and imo she could’ve projected her unmet needs onto her daughters, particularly Mai (who is more similar to her in mannerisms, style, and dress, though not necessarily in deference; Mai’s a snarker).

At the same time there’s the compelling thread of how, despite resenting the twins, she’s also bound inescapably to them by blood; there are hints she wields political influence, at least in the shadowy form, with how she advised Naoya in ch. 138, but she’s held back by them.

There’s a possible element of her envying the twins’ freedom from the clan’s social mores, while refusing to acknowledge that to herself. If you subscribe to the idea that she’s in a loveless marriage: she could be jealous of the twins’ affection for each other! And lash out by trying to undermine their love.

Some notes for what I'm obsessed with in these pairings: simmering generational pain and rage expressed and filtered in unhealthy/dysfunctional ways, the horror of motherhood being folded into their relationships, the inability for the twins’ mother to relate to her daughters and show them love and care at all, the reversal of parent-child dynamics, etc. Mai or Maki tolerating a certain amount of boundary-breaking behaviour or dubcon/noncon from her, because it's the only time she's vulnerable or loving.

Saving Face (2004)

Wilhelmina Pang/Vivian Shing

Some context on what I like about this film: I watched this recently and I love the warmth and comedy in this movie, and melancholic undertones about trying to start again despite shame; I love Will's unexpected commonalities with her mother who's navigating a secret too, but most of all I think there's a lot of possible post-canon bonding to be had, or mid-movie scenes from Vivian's perspective. Or that moment Will's mum walked in on her with a girlfriend. Or what about that first meeting they had, and Vivian's realisation that she loves women (and Will, eventually?) It's been years since this movie came out and I don't mind something set close to our present day, or Will and Vivian closer to middle-age and a look at how their relationship might look years down the road.

I can read/understand Chinese, so feel free to bring in cultural references or Chinese text if you want.

Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena

Arisugawa Juri/Himemiya Anthy

These two seem like they’d have many interesting intersections and conflicts. I’m intrigued by the idea that Juri could’ve nearly been a Rose Bride and Anthy turning her complicated/non-straightforward manipulation upon her. I don’t have many specific ideas, mostly because I don’t have a good imagination; please go wild!

Arisugawa Juri/Tenjou Utena

Utena and Juri's conversation about Juri's relationship with Shiori is so loaded and especially iddy for me, and that's what entranced me about this crack ship -- they're both inwardly dysfunctional individuals who are also arguably the most """chivalric""" within the student council, but with their frictions and differences in values. Juri's far more cynical, and I love her inner tortured self. In other words: go wild!

Kaoru Kozue/Takatsuki Shiori

I'm intrigued by all their similarities as manipulative (evil/blue) purple girls with messed up relationships to femininity -- please feel free to write them bonding or egging each other on or any other AU with canon events, whatever compels you about them.

Terminator (Movies)

Sarah Connor/Grace Harper

The sexual tension is just off the charts, but I like Sarah's groundedness and weariness next to Grace's lightcracker challenger personality; down for anything about these two! I like the idea of Grace coming to Sarah while pining for Dani. Or extended delightful or miserable roadtrips.

Sarah Connor/Grace Harper/Dani Ramos

Navigating the pathways to the future together; fix-its where Grace survives; Sarah and Grace teaching Dani fighting skills together; finding Dani's family; camping in the woods; mutual hurt/comfort (including whump) after fights.

The Half of It (2020)

Ellie Chu/Aster Flores

Parallel narratives; epistolary formats; meeting again after the movie's end; trying out a relationship together. Alternative first meetings.

The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir

Camilla Hect/Nona
Pyrrha Dve/Camilla Hect

The Pyrrhacule family won my heart, even if they may be a mess of psychosexual roleplaying and codependence according to Tazmuir, and I'd love to get more -- comedy, other poignant after-school conversations, etc. I'd also love hurt/comfort with Pyrrha patching Camilla up after an injury (augh), and so on. With the found family foursome, feel free to just focus on any two of the characters instead of all four of them.

For Nona/Camilla: Nona's crush on Camilla was very cute and sweet and I love the bittersweet directions it could be taken in. Nona is Camilla's mission! That kills me! I love women dedicated to young wards. Camilla perhaps indulging Nona in the bathtub...? Fleeting touches, very ambiguous but intense casual physical intimacy would be my jam too. I'd also love to see Nona from Camilla's perspective, what with Camilla potentially mourning Harrow and Gideon and perhaps seeing shades of her friends in Nona, feeling like spending time with Nona is a means to be closer to them, and so on. I'm fine with sexual content though I'd prefer you avoid any exaggerated focus on Nona's youth, naivete, etc. or her having an entirely childlike understanding of sex.

Camilla Hect/Coronabeth Tridentarius

They had to join the BoE together! As Yet Unsent gave such a juicy view into their relationship, and I'm weak for Camilla being asked if she's Cor's partner. Grudging interactions, flirting, etc. anything that develops their interactions more would be gold to me.

Camilla Hect/Dulcinea Septimus/f!Palamedes Sextus

I'm really intrigued by this; feel free to go in any directions that compel you, working off The Unwanted Guest or other things!

Coronabeth Tridentarius/Ianthe Tridentarius

Codependency, that messed up moment your sister didn't choose you to cannibalise, spinning out the aftermath of "Babs? Who cares about Babs?" and so on. I've read As Yet Unsent so feel free to work in the reveal of Coronabeth's hidden neediness, or all the ways she's the worse twin. I'm down for anything about their twisted dynamic. Some ideas: Ianthe being subtly jealous of Coronabeth's affection for other cavaliers (Gideon, Judith, et al.), an AU where Coronabeth does get to be Ianthe's cavalier, an AU where Coronabeth doesn't betray BoE and sticks to her guns and they remain bitter enemies in an inter-galactic conflict...

Kinky ideas, if you swing that way: power plays in bed, praise kinks, Coronabeth trying to shower Ianthe with all the attention she isn't getting, knifeplay as a demonstration of Coronabeth's worthiness of cavalierhood. Whiffs of necrophilia and body horror (in the form of intentional mutilation, Ianthe mocking Corona with all the ropes of what she can do as a Lyctor) while Ianthe is in Babs's body. I'm fine if you want to go AU and write/draw a missing scene where Ianthe is in her own body instead of Babs's.

• Coronabeth letting Ianthe practise small doses of cannibalism or animaphalia on her.

• Ianthe and Coronabeth performing Third House marriage/scarification vows and rituals secretly with themselves.

• Ianthe gets arranged to marry another necromancer (Harrow, perhaps). Coronabeth gets jealous.

• A 5+1 times style study of (twisted) birthdays they've celebrated over the years. Creepy or messed up variants of their "fuck, kill, reanimate" games. Or various times Coronabeth's been mistaken for Ianthe's partner/girlfriend, and vice versa.

• A look at Third House rituals they've done, from the bizarre to ostentatious to downright weird; ritual sex even, where they've been asked to consummate their bond or mark the anniversary of their House's founding (or something...) in front of their peers, parents, anything.

• Alternatively, the Ninth House is obsessed with preservation and entombment, the veiling away of the past; what if the Third House is obsessed with gaudy opulence and the appearance of liveliness even in death? I'm thinking Ianthe having to use flesh magic to build/add on to corpses and a young Coronabeth trying to help her.

• Unexpectedly tender first-time sex with each other.

Cytherea the First/Ianthe Tridentarius

"I’ve tried the sister thing already,” said Ianthe, circling around to one side, “and I wasn’t any good at it.”
“But I have so much to teach you,” said Cytherea.

I think that explains it all.

But also! Loved their spark of antagonism in the fight at the end of Gideon the Ninth, loved the casual grace with which Cytherea severs Ianthe's arm. Also, Ianthe skewering Cytherea...

Feel free to transplant them into an AU where Cytherea survived and Augustine, Mercy, or G1deon died at Canaan House instead. I'd love a twisted mentor/protege relationship with them, where Cytherea's the only one who can cow Ianthe's inflated ego into whimpering submission. Give me sexy avulsion, choking, painplay (Cytherea siphoning Ianthe's soul for herself, Ianthe letting her do it for the social points), all the works.

Alternatively: Mithraeum politics and power plays, with Cytherea continuing to plot God's demise behind his back? Particularly with the constant, chronic pain she's been subjected to over the years. Ianthe perhaps coddling up to God and then going behind his back to talk with Cytherea about her plans while being fucked (or fucked over) by Cytherea, in every sense of that word? Anything goes in my books for this; you could give me something simple like the two of them being cloyingly and performatively sweet one moment then debauched and cruel the next, and I'd gobble it up.

Cytherea the First/Mercymorn the First

Body horror, seeking solace in each other, plotting together, meeting in the afterlife/River and dream bubbles, Mercymorn trying to alleviate Cytherea's chronic pain, sexy shenanigans with adjustments for Cytherea's chronic illness.

Gideon Nav/Ianthe Tridentarius

Don't have many specific thoughts except that I enjoyed what we got in Nona the Ninth of these new dynamics, and I'd love to see more; go crazy.

With Gideon/Ianthe, I'm down for banter and comedy and campy weird friendship, and erotic BODY HORROR! with the chussy.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus/Ianthe Tridentarius

Harrow and Ianthe share such a delicious tension, and I'd be overjoyed to see anything showcasing their complicated dynamic; they have their capacities for prickly -- but genuine! -- kindness with each other, and I'd welcome moments exploring those slippery threads of care and distance, neither tender nor cruel; the revelation that they're perhaps sometimes just two [Mercymorn voice] children fumbling in the dark of a hostile situation together. Or go full darkness (death or Ianthe dubconning Harrow), if you like. <3

• An AU where Harrow doesn't turn away from Ianthe after the bathtub attack: "If Ianthe Tridentarius knelt beside you then, [...] you would press your diminished bloody terror into her. You would crawl like a worm to whatever clinging scrap of solace she would give you.”

• Bed-sharing moments on the Mithraeum, in response to Harrow’s fear over Ortus’s attacks, or other forms of trauma/hurt.

• Either of them trying to cook for each other, with disastrous results.

• Harrow's notes state that Ianthe cries herself to sleep every night. I'd love to read about Harrow discovering this, in a hurt with dubious comfort or hurt no comfort scenario.

• Necromancy used for romantic, sexual, or comforting purposes, such as: breathplay via squeezing on the veins or aorta, slowing each other's heartbeats, etc.

• An AU where Ianthe still experiences issues adapting to her bone arm (pain, soreness, loss of control) after the subtextual bone arm sex scene bone arm transplant and Harrow has to step in to attend to her.

• A far-future AU where both are matured lyctors, Harrow never remembers Gideon, and they've settled more into their roles, where they might have unique hurt/comfort rituals after battles or difficult planet missions. (Sorry, for the record, I love Gideon! Feel free to slip in hints that she's still hanging around, somehow.)

• Harrow and Ianthe comforting each other through homesickness (planet-sickness?): giving each other House artefacts/mementos, or recounting childhood memories and stories to each other. Or: kinking on House titles during comfort sex.

Mercymorn the First/Cristabel Oct

Grief, tragedy, not being able to let go of your cavalier after 10,000 years -- these two hit all my buttons. We've gotten new looks at their pre-Resurrection lives in Nona, and I'd love to see something exploring any other dimensions to their relationship hinted or added by those snippets (Cristabel sure sounds like a badass nun, huh).

Yellowjackets

I've kept up with Season 2, so feel free to pull in all the lore you want! Ambiguous endings and ghostly or haunting-related mindfucks are very welcome. Background canon pairings like Shauna/Jeff or Simone/Taissa are fine.

It’d be a stretch to say the show is that attentive to concerns like these, but I’m open to critical explorations or subversions of the way the show handles concepts like the ‘wilderness’, and ideas about ‘civilization’ and ‘primitiveness’, including if you want to push back on any of them. I think there’s potential to interrogate notions of “girlhood”, who we ascribe girlhood to, and the violence therein of its middle class manifestations beyond what the show does; if you want, feel free to go there.

I don’t have a lot of specific ideas but I’d love to see your takes! I’m cool with AUs where a different set of people get eaten or die and the other characters have to live with the consequences or hauntings (non-human, metaphorical, or not).

Akilah/Mari

Akilah and Mari are nice opposites to me -- Akilah tries to hold onto a sense of normalcy and stability, Mari's the wrecker of illusions and fantasies! What about them trying to survive the hunts and being inexplicably drawn to each other? I'm open to AUs where they survive and have to navigate the The Wilderness Is Calling saga.

Crystal/Misty Quigley

AUs where Crystal doesn't die -- or Crystal becomes a hallucination/haunting like Jackie became for Shauna. Or years after the wilderness, Crystal's still dead, but Misty sees her/still thinks about her?

Shauna Shipman/Jackie Taylor

Ah, longing and weird liminal friendships you could never quite voice out -- what about hallucinations of Jackie in the present day appearing to Shauna as she navigates the murders and cults? What about AUs where the plane crash doesn't happen but something goes wrong in the fabric of the world anyway (an apocalypse, the town is suddenly mysteriously empty) and these two are caught in a claustrophobic and codependent situation where they only have each other, and each others' betrayals and secrets?

Shauna Shipman/Taissa Turner

In the wilderness where ties rapidly change, these two seem to get along really well and get each other—and that continues afterwards into their adult lives. They’re a pair of unlikely commonality: Taissa’s ambitious, Shauna’s soft-spoken and reserved, both have hidden depths of talent and smartness (that conversation about what Shauna would have done in Brown! What Taissa did at Howard!) Down for anything about the relationship!

In general, Taissa’s so interesting to me too—she’s strong-willed in the wilderness, a pragmatist, and yet as a would-be politician she’s known for staying true to her ideals and not misrepresenting herself. Even though she’s the one most fearful of her unconscious, the self she becomes when sleepwalking. What changed before and after the crash? Where do her hallucinations, hauntings, dreams, etc. come from?

Simone Abara/Taissa Turner

To shamelessly quote my friendfirstroad, "I fell in love with Simone/Taissa the moment Taissa said Simone never made her feel 'it'. I love practical relationships, entering something with your eyes wide open out of choice and zero impulse, love as a constant decision."

And that encapsulates all my feelings on the matter! But I'm so curious about Simone's life, and Taissa's life with her too, and I'd adore more (dark? sinister? bittersweet?) looks at how Simone adapts to Taissa's political ambitions, and the sacrifices they've made along the way.

Optional prompts, also poached from friends:

What if Simone gets entangled with the The Wilderness Is Calling subplot?
Anything with Other Taissa - maybe Simone seeing small signs earlier and just dismissing them?
For some reason Simone drives up to where they all are at Lottie's wellness centre.
Their initial decision to get together and days of getting to know each other; how does Simone react to the mythology of Taissa as the Plane Crash Survivor versus the fact of the person before her?
Is Other Taissa and the Wilderness supernatural after all? Does it haunt them?

Taissa Turner/Vanessa Palmer

I like how grand and fond these two seem to be of each other, how much history there is. Why and how did they break up? What about an AU where they gravitate back to each other over the years many different times (even if they don't act on it) because they know a side to each other nobody else ever could, from their wilderness days?

Optional prompts, poached from friends:

Van gets involved in the darker side of politics.
Taissa packs it in and tries to help Van's business.
A (painful) reunion years after the wilderness.
"What I want most is to have been a girl with you and played on the opposite team so I could have liked you and competed against you at the same time." (Eloise Klein Healy); Well, they did all that, albeit on the same team; would love to hear your take on this and the highs and lows of being on a soccer team together!

Lottie Matthews/Natalie Scatorccio

Wow, that bathtub scene was so good for me. I adore the looks of reverence the other girls give Nat but also solemn respect Lottie has for her in the wilderness. As Lottie's successor, how does Nat change her traditions? Or feel free to explore any other directions!

Lottie Matthews/Van Palmer/Misty Quigley/Natalie Scatorccio/Shauna Shipman/Taissa Turner

THEM. The psychological haunting squad! What did they bring from the wilderness and what did they leave behind? What violences do they carry, within themselves or without? What about the complicated aftermath, and the mythology of who they were before (soccer team) clashing with their selves in the wild? No need to feature everyone in detail; I’d be happy with a focus on any two people in this toxic polyamorous (hah) pairing.

Misty Quigley/Natalie Scatorccio

YOUR HONOUR, I love them. They're terrible for each other in all the perfectly good ways. Misty is such a failgirl and delightfully morbid, and I love how she and Natalie can't quite avoid each other despite their best wishes. To me, they're disasters waiting to be sprung. Feel free to take this in all the creepy, disturbing, erotically gory or cannibalistic places you want or explore what compels you about them. Some (super) optional ideas:

Tie-ins or explorations of Misty's backstory; early interactions between Misty and Natalie.
Unconventional or downright strange getting together fic for them.
Serial killer or time-loop AUs, where Natalie and Misty are trapped together in claustrophobic situations that nobody else shares with them (and maybe drive each other crazy, or are drawn involuntarily towards each other because they have no other choice).
Road-trips but much further out this time, with them trying to escape all the messiness of the Yellowjackets team or the haunting effects of the wilderness, and them not quite succeeding, perhaps? This goes double for these two: ambiguous or surreal endings are welcome.
Accidental (or not) drugging of each other. I'm horrified and fascinated by Misty's use of poisoning as a way to lure people into dependence on her and then eventually as a weapon in adulthood. I think Natalie would find ways to escape because she's savvy, but what about a 5+1 times fic about times Misty tried to poison Natalie, literally or metaphorically?

I'm fine with Natalie and Misty being interpreted as lesbians who haven't realised it; alternatively, you don't have to explain anything to me either!

Hi there, and thanks for creating for me! I’m omnivorous and easygoing, so my only rule is for you to have fun; I love many things on the scale of dark and weird to joyful and mellow. Treats (any medium) are always welcome, including late ones. Details here are optional, and you can go in other directions or dust off an old piece as long as you respect DNWs. I'm

cultural, sensory, setting details; architecture, scenery porn, indulgent and loving descriptions; theatre, performance, competence, confidence; ‘fish out of water’ scenarios
confrontations, denial, emotional repression, unhealthy coping mechanisms, role reversals
deranged maximalist or megalomaniac characters; emotionally straitjacketed or alienated characters
dreams, liminal places, hauntings, fractured identities, surrealism, magical realism, absurdism, ceremonies (funerals, send-offs, baptisms, etc.)
history, the calm before/after the storm, beauty amidst bleakness and cruelty, ruins and remnants
backstories, matriarchial families, complex mother-daughter relationships, weaponised femininity (literal or metaphorical), dysfunctional families, ambivalent legacies or heritage
psychological/existential horror, atmospheric bleakness, gothic settings; body horror, pain as an axis for transformation or self-knowledge, the weirdness of having a body, being alien to yourself
recovery, uneasy aftermaths; romanticised cannibalism, moral ambiguity, incongruous domesticity, unexpected joy or tenderness, Faustian bargains, ethics, material culture, characters denied catharsis
road-trips, greenery and NATURE, everyday streets, water bodies, hair-washing, wound care, bathtubs, politics mixed in with mundane life
tragedy, loss, grief/mourning; stories about being unable to return somewhere; stories about living with loss
unreliable narrators, characters being liars and frauds, narratives colluding with characters of uncertain morality, estrangement, falling for the "wrong" person (&/ being happy about it), illusions of choice
narratives about monstrosity; benevolent monsters (interpreted widely), monstrous women

I'm fine with F/F dub/noncon, F/F incest in general, side characters or relationships appearing, threesomes/moresomes/orgies, disordered eating (more on restriction and the psychological side, e.g., extreme or 'irrational' negative perceptions of food, than binging or purging), suicidal ideation, self-harm, major character death, and unhappy/ambiguous endings. Feel free to feature multiple requested ships in one fandom if you want or add in gen to flesh out a piece.

I'm always up for experimental formats and social media AUs (Reddit, Instagram, etc.); my mundane AU is waived for canons without in-universe internet or social media platforms.

Dragon Age

Bethany Hawke/Female Hawke

One of my earliest incest ships! I can't quite get over how adoring Bethany is of Hawke in Act I, with their affectionate banter, and the subsequent angst and separation when Bethany gets sent to the Circle or joins the Grey Wardens. I'd love any in-between moments, post-canon looks, Fade surrealism, or a quiet respite between the two of them. Or playing with any canon-divergent AUs in general! Porn and worldview shifts with them navigating the consequences of Hawke's actions would be welcome. How does Hawke's relationship with Bethany affect her (political) decisions and vice versa? Or feel free to write about them having a sisters-with-benefits situation that turns into more.

I slightly prefer a mage-sympathetic Hawke, but I'm open to the moral ambiguity of a Hawke who wasn't sympathetic and what that'd mean for her relationship with Bethany, though I'd prefer that she doesn't hold any extreme prejudice against mages. I have no preference for Inquisitors or choice of the Warden from Origins.

Hades (Video Game 2018)

For this fandom, you're welcome to incorporate in-game mechanics into your gift!

Alecto/Megaera/Tisiphone

The Fury sisters! I love their camaraderie, the way they collectively go "fuck u Zag" and how they're all so different but work together; they each have lots of spunk and I'd adore anything about their tensions, affection, and bonds in general.

Megaera/Nyx

Saw this in the tagset and was intrigued, instant heart eyes from me. I don't mind Nyx being either Meg's foster or "birth" mother, whatever that means for the chthonic gods. What intrigues me is how much Meg respects Nyx despite famously being mean to everyone else. There's in-game dialogue where Nyx tells Nyx not to let her relationships with Zagreus or such get in the way of her duties, and I was struck by that -- Meg seemed deferential afterwards, but the conversation had underlying tones of power imbalances there. To be clear, I'm all down for that. Feel free to delve into the ambivalences, rifts, or darker parts of their relationship if you want.

呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Manga)

Zenin Mai/Zenin Maki

Yin/yang motifs, the poetic cinema of dying the same way you were born (by your sister's side, in the water), the inherent homoeroticism of your sister being your first love... these two hurt my heart in the best way. Give me relationship studies, bitter breakups, snapshots of their lives in the Zenin house... anything! Anything about their love and complicated devotion to each other.

AUs where Mai survives, and things get better—or worse?
Found documents, a catalogue of personal artefacts in Mai and Maki's rooms; Maki looking through Mai's belongings after 149, perhaps. Alternative formats that hint at their lives in the Zenin house!
Epistolary: unsent letters, a history of Mai's emotions in her first term or year in Kyoto. When does Mai figure out that she might have to sacrifice herself one day? Why does she hesitate with telling Maki?
Maki meeting Mai in her dreams, processing her grief; Mai-sword conversations (?) and shenanigans.
Kinky ideas: gunplay or gunfucking, dream sex, bathtub sex (amniotic fluid imagery and metaphors, perhaps?), misuse of cursed techniques.
Revolutionary Girl Utena AUs, with Mai as a Black Rose duellist.

Kugisaki Nobara/Zenin Mai/Zenin Maki

A classic. There's the well-loved dynamic with the three of them being in a polyamorous relationship, but I'd love to see your take, including if it ventures into different ground! I'm fine with major canon divergences like both twins never joining the jujutsu school(s) and meeting Nobara some other way.

Zenin Mai/Original Female Zenin Clan Character(s)

Mai is my blorbo and I'd love to see her being menaced or perhaps being cared for by other female relatives (adopted, blood, or in-laws are all fine). This is your carte blanche to write any other incestuous fuckery within the Zenin clan. Want to do something like write her with Naoya's mother or being nonconned by multiple women? Go ahead.

Zenin Mai and Maki's Mother/Niece!Zenin Naoya

This is a crack pairing motivated by those pages where the twins' mother reports to Naoya about Maki's fate in the Shibuya incident, and she seems like his only (highly reluctant) friend. But honestly, I'm down for the genderbent version here, and I think there could be something erotic about an aunt-in-law and the arrogant niece she has to begrudgingly mentor. I'm cool if you handwave Zenin clan gender politics and keep Naoya as the de facto heir (or so he thinks) or write about Naoya needing to crossdress as a son to keep up appearances, etc.

Zenin Mai/Zenin Mai and Maki's Mother

Going to be upfront: my prompts for this pairing are deranged and likely fall under several umbrellas of dirtybadwrong, but if you already have something else in mind, please go ahead; I'd love to see it! Maki's matricide has simply given me a craving for deep dives into her dynamic with her mother. I'm intrigued by Maki's unresolved issues and lack of closure for her relationship with her mother, and simply imagine that Mai probably went through a similarly tumultuous relationship with her. (Feel free to bring in Maki; Mai/Maki/their mother would be welcome if you're considering it.)

I'm down for darker themes, including but not limited to abuses/imbalances of power from their mother, springing out of the Zenin clan's repressive and claustrophobic environment.

Prompts below were written for both Mai/her mother and Maki/her mother, but feel free to disregard whatever's not relevant. You can also read on for my rambling if you want more details on what I think about their dynamic.

Mother-daughter dubcon, in either direction; canon-divergent AUs where Maki leaves, and her mother is driven to seek comfort in her due to grief or the general stress of, uh, being a woman in the Zenin clan.
Period sex, finger sucking, misuses of ceremonies and grand occasions for sex, with or without dubcon.
The twins' mother forming a bond with Mai or using her as a pawn to piss off their father.
Late night meetings that cross the boundaries into abuse or other transgressions.
"Educational" sex, Mai involuntarily losing her virginity to their mother under the guise of her mother trying to teach her about what to expect... Mai feeling conflicted afterwards, especially if she'd wanted to do it with Maki instead.
AUs where Mai or Maki return home from the technical schools, and having to reckon with the threat (indirect or not) of their mother.
AU where Maki leaves her mother alive, and they deal afterwards (or not) with their grief and complicated feelings over Mai's death.

Original Work

Let your id fly free. Porn logic is completely fine by me; I like distinctive settings, dynamics, or characterisation in Original Work, but I'm also very easy! The fun of Original Work for me is seeing other people's interpretations that I'd never have thought of. I think the pairings speak for themselves, but feel free to introduce futuristic, horror, fantasy or magical elements, and so much more. Someone's in a haunted house? Or a serial killer? Or hooked up to a dreamscape? Go wild. Or give these women certain professions, etc.

Actress Sister Acting in a Sex Scene/Her Sister Cast to Act in the Same Scene with Her

I like the idea of these sisters having brewing feelings or unspoken sexual tension and being forced to confront it because of their jobs/work in acting. How does it change their relationship? I thought about the idea of private vs. public faces, with them having to juggle professionalism or pretend everything is fine against the truth of their taboo attraction, or things with identity, celebrity, farce vs. performance and so on for this, but I'd love to see what you come up with!

Crown Princess/Bastard Sister
Dangerous & Amoral Sister/Dangerous & Amoral Sister She’s in a Rivalry With
Daughter Raised By Humans/Oceanic Deity Mother Come To Take Her Back Home
Daughter Who Got Sex Pollened/Her Mother Who Is The Only One Who Can Help
Daughter Who Is Desperately Horny For Her Mother/Mother Who Has Been Denying Her Feelings
Daughter Who Writes Taboo Mother-Daughter Romance/Her Mother Who Finds Her Pen Name
Daughter With a Slutty Reputation/Protective Mother Who Crashes Her Gangbang

Emotionally Distant Mother/Adult Daughter Anxious to Please Her

For this, in general, I'm here for emotional fraughtness, and a daughter who craves approval/praise (and is emotionally reliant) enough that she'll let her mother breach her boundaries or use her for sex (or companionship), whether once or multiple times. I'd love it if their interpersonal dynamics are complex or messed up enough that it doesn't really register to them that the sex is wrong, not in a "we're accepting of incest" but rather in a "we've crossed the line of no return; now we'll sit with it" way. It says an 'emotionally distant' mother, but I'm also fine with her being emotionally cruel, in pointier ways. I'm here for very claustrophobic, codependent situations too.

Mentioning or describing pregnancy is fine for this pairing; in fact, feel free to write the mother using the fact (that she carried her daughter to term) to guilt-trip or emotionally manipulate the daughter, if you want!

• Authority Figure Rewards Subordinate with Sex

Sharp Objects

Adora Crellin/Camille Preaker

I love fucked up/dark mothers and I'm just besotted by the dark, sticky, heady dynamic between Adora and Camille. Adore the creepy, insular small-town Gothic vibe too, so feel free to write any vignettes or setting porn building off that.

I've read the book, so feel free to combine elements from that. Personally, my favourite Adora/Camille scenes in the book are Camille's weirdly erotic dream about her mother visiting her in bed then kissing her, and the one where Camille dreams about her mother cutting her body open.

Within a few minutes I was asleep, the stink of my breath floating into my dreams like a sour fog. My mother came to me in my bedroom and told me I was ill. She lay on top of me and put her mouth on mine. I could feel her breath in my throat. Then she began pecking at me. When she pulled away, she smiled at me and smoothed my hair back. Then she spit my teeth into her hands.

I drank the rest of the sours and had dark sticky dreams. My mother had cut me open and was unpacking my organs, stacking them in a row on my bed as my flesh flapped to either side. She was sewing her initials into each of them, then tossing them back into me, along with a passel of forgotten objects: an orange Day-Glo rubber ball I got from a gumball machine when I was ten; a pair of violet wool stockings I wore when I was twelve; a cheap gold-tinted ring a boy bought me when I was a freshman. With each object, relief that it was no longer lost.

Optional prompts: erotic self-harm, sex as an act of control and possession, cloying manipulation and seduction (in the broad sense of the word), playing with performances of motherhood, the unnerving implications of touch, etc. Camille wanting her mother's warmth, ultimately, but the cost of it being too high.

The Locked Tomb Series

Harrowhark Nonagesimus/Coronabeth Tridentarius/Ianthe Tridentarius

I don't have specific ideas but I'd love to see all the funny, awkward, sad, or depraved dynamics for these three! Go wild.

Coronabeth Tridentarius/Ianthe Tridentarius

Codependency, that messed up moment your sister didn't choose you to cannibalise, spinning out the aftermath of "Babs? Who cares about Babs?" and so on. I've read As Yet Unsent so feel free to work in the reveal of Coronabeth's hidden neediness, or all the ways she's the worse twin. I'm down for anything about their twisted dynamic. Some ideas: Ianthe being subtly jealous of Coronabeth's affection for other cavaliers (Gideon, Judith, et al.), an AU where Coronabeth does get to be Ianthe's cavalier, an AU where Coronabeth doesn't betray BoE and sticks to her guns and they remain bitter enemies in an inter-galactic conflict...

Kinky ideas, if you swing that way: power plays in bed, praise kinks, Coronabeth trying to shower Ianthe with all the attention she isn't getting, knifeplay as a demonstration of Coronabeth's worthiness of cavalierhood. Whiffs of necrophilia and body horror (in the form of intentional mutilation, Ianthe mocking Corona with all the ropes of what she can do as a Lyctor) while Ianthe is in Babs's body. I'm fine if you want to go AU and write/draw a missing scene where Ianthe is in her own body instead of Babs's.

• Coronabeth letting Ianthe practise small doses of cannibalism or animaphalia on her.

• Ianthe and Coronabeth performing Third House marriage/scarification vows and rituals secretly with themselves.

• Ianthe gets arranged to marry another necromancer (Harrow, perhaps). Coronabeth gets jealous.

• A 5+1 times style study of (twisted) birthdays they've celebrated over the years. Creepy or messed up variants of their "fuck, kill, reanimate" games. Or various times Coronabeth's been mistaken for Ianthe's partner/girlfriend, and vice versa.

• A look at Third House rituals they've done, from the bizarre to ostentatious to downright weird; ritual sex even, where they've been asked to consummate their bond or mark the anniversary of their House's founding (or something...) in front of their peers, parents, anything.

• Alternatively, the Ninth House is obsessed with preservation and entombment, the veiling away of the past; what if the Third House is obsessed with gaudy opulence and the appearance of liveliness even in death? I'm thinking Ianthe having to use flesh magic to build/add on to corpses and a young Coronabeth trying to help her.

Gideon Nav/Wake

I'm SO fascinated by how much Wake abhors the work of being a mother and sees Gideon Nav as a means to an end; I'm just intrigued by the possibilities in this! Antagonistic meetings, Wake's ghost haunts Gideon and everyone, or Gideon Nav being raised in the Blood of Eden groups instead -- I'm open to your take.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson

Constance Blackwood/Merricat Blackwood

Love the gradual claustrophobia of this book, the atmosphere, the Gothic house, its creepy sugary darkness, and the intense happy codependency between these sisters. I'm fine with a fusion with The Haunting of Hill House, the other iconic Shirley Jackson book, or AUs with magical realism, sci-fi, surrealism, other added horror elements, and so on. I'd just be excited to read anything that spends more time with these two!

Optional prompts:

Closeness that neither realises is outside of the bounds of normal sisterly affection.
Constance's perspective of any scenes, or the aftermath. Or an AU where Constance ventures outside, indirectly or not, but still gets drawn into an obsessive claustrophobic life with Merricat.
Post-canon convergences; what happens after? Myths, folklore, and further stories about the Blackwood sisters.
Creepy fluff, sunlight mixed with creeping everyday shadows, rituals and magic, ceremonial sex; I don't usually put outright curtainfic or domestic fluff in my likes, but YES PLEASE incongruous domestic scenes, especially with silently hiding threats or wrongness. Anything that subverts tropey or typical scenes of family warmth or domesticity through the Merricat/Constance lens.
Late-night chats, Merricat trying to perform spells of protection for her and Constance.
I read this JSTOR article on the uses of the female Gothic in Jackson's books, and I'm intrigued by the bit that spells out how Constance embodies part of the maternal ideal, especially in relation/comparison to Merricat, the wayward (metaphorical) daughter. So: I'd love anything that dwells on this motif further! Anything like the blurring of boundaries between mother/sister (or wife? haha) in Merricat's perception of Constance.

I’m fine with major character death, graphic violence, and unhappy or ambiguous endings if your gift needs it.

Treats (fic or art) are very welcome, including late or even very late ones!

Hi there, and thanks so much for creating for me! All the pairings here are dear to my heart, and I can't wait to see what you’ll come up with. I’m an omnivorous and easygoing reader, so my only rule is for you to write what you'll enjoy — I genuinely love many things from the scale of dark and weird to joyful and mellow. Details here are entirely optional; you can ignore my prompts or simply dust off an old draft as long as you respect my DNWs. I'm

Hi there, and thanks so much for creating for me! I'm really easy to please and omnivorous in taste, so feel free to take this chance to write something fun, or dust off that fic/art draft at the bottom of your drawer. I'm

I figure that the song prompts speak for themselves here, but I've listed general likes and specific lyrics that stood out to me, where I have them, in case you want direction. In general, please create to your heart’s content — you could give me things like epistolary fic, atmospheric light-on-plot vignettes, or AUs inspired by the songs, whatever, and I'd gobble it up.

I’m open to treats, including late or very late ones!

Fine with any ratings, porn or no porn, anything from plotty casefic to plotless introspection, and darkfic if you swing that way. Feel free to write any / pairings as their & or pre-relationship versions (or toe the line of ambiguity). It's probably... a given with this series, but I'm fine with major character death if your gift needs it.

Hi there, and thanks so much for creating for me! I love all the fandoms/pairings below dearly, and would be delighted to receive gifts for any of them. I'm really easy to please and omnivorous in taste, so please don't feel beholden to the prompts below -- they're merely suggestions, and the most important thing here is that you have fun. Feel free to wander off into alternate territories or pursue that plot-bunny/concept you've been obsessed with, as long as you respect DNWs. I'm most interested in what excites you.

I can be found at

meikuree on Tumblr and

meikuree on AO3. Don't be afraid to leave an anon comment if you need to check on something. Treats are welcome, including for mediums I didn't request, aside from those mentioned in DNWs, and including late or very late ones.

Hello, and thank you so much for writing/creating for me! Hurt/comfort is a genre I adore, and I'm excited to see what you'll come up with. Please rest assured I'll appreciate your gift, so don’t stress about catering to my requests: the most important thing in this exchange is that you have fun. I hope you’ll find something here inspiring, but if my prompts get in the way, feel free to write what enthuses you instead. ❤️

I can be found at

meikuree on Tumblr and

meikuree on AO3, if you want a fuller portrait of my tastes. However, in general, I'm really easy to please as long as you avoid DNWs. Gen, f/f, fic of all ratings, traditional hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort, and whump all equally send me into transports of delight, and I'm happy to read both hopeful and bleak, unhappy endings.

Below, I've elaborated on character dynamics and more specific scenarios, in case that's helpful. Overall, I love hurt/comfort for its character focus—but also love it as an excuse to get characters entangled in Fucked Up Situations. Go wild with anything here. You don't have to include all my likes below -- only those you find relevant!

Treats of any medium are always welcome, including late or very late ones.
