Letter for Rule 63 Exchange 2022

[ekevka]

 

Hello! This account is for letters for various exchanges (although I haven't participated in this one before), so feel free to browse, some fandoms are repeated.
In any case, I would love anything from my prompts, and neither order, nor amount of promts is indicative as to which one I'd like best.
Regarding smut/no smut - I do prefer plot to smut, but it's a preference, and I'm okay with violence.
Note: I'm fine with trans characters, and trans headcanons for those who stayed their canonical gender, sorry if I formulate things in any ways incorrectly.

 

General DNW:

- out of setting AU/modern AU/generic AU (coffeeshop AU, high-schools AU and the like)

- hopeless endings (open endings are fine)

- non-canonical character death

- eye trauma described in any kind of detail

- mind-control

- character bashing (as in unreasonable hating without any reason spelled out - if you see a character able to bash another, warn for it and keep it as out of the author's speech as possible)

- non-con

- unconsentual infidelity in any poly ships — if two ends of the triangle are not into each other, I’d prefer a line about them being alright with the situation rather then the middle intentionally keeping them in the dark and/or angst about it. If a canon spouse is not mentioned in the prompt, I'd rather the character turns out to be not married or the spouse is okay.

- unconsensual infidelity in marriage (unless canon)

 General likes (in addition to specific prompts):

- hurt/comfort

- there was only one _insert object here_ plots

- characters expressing their feelings by actions instead of words

- calm before the storm moments (especially if there's a foreshadowing of canonical events or such)

- soulmate AUs (but not any kind that impedes one's vision before meeting a soulmate - like, see only the colour of their eyes/no colours other than black and white until you've met, that kind of thing)

- daemon AU

- bodyswap

- timetravel in all shapes and forms (inc. groundhog-day AUs)

Now for the fandoms and prompt (where I could think of some, and most are likely to be questions, not direct situations):

1. Discworld - Terry Pratchett.
Sybil Ramkin/F!Havelock Vetinari/F!Samuel Vimes
Sybil Ramkin/F!Havelock Vetinari
F!Carrot Ironfoundersson/Angua von Uberwald
Adora Belle Dearheart/F!Moist von Lipwig
Medium: Fanfiction
Always a 63
Temporarily a 63

Discworld is very much a journey in itself, and it's fairly obvious that from this canon I want more femslash. In some cases that would impact the characters' lives quite significantly - would F!Vetinary be the first woman to enroll into Assassin's School and be the first female member of the Guild, or would she choose a different path to the same target (I can't see Vetinary not ruling Ankh-Morpork)? What about the whole 'first woman in the Watch' schtick, if there's F!Vimes or F!Carrot before Angua is enlisted? Would F!Carrot be a lesser danger in terms of kingly inheritance - given that the majority don't even know who exactly is the heir? Would it matter for Dragon King of Arms if the heir is a wlw with a werewolf girlfriend as opposed to a cis man? Would F!Moist attempt different schemes or just be the master of disguise, ready to pretend to be whoever the situation requires (I should have requested NB!Moist, but good thoughts are often late)? 
Note: I'm totally fine with the answers to this being 'yep, the end's the same' or even works without sexism/homophobia playing a part, although this is a canon that works quite closely with those concepts. 
Fandom-specific DNW: Raising Steam described in major details, I haven't read it yet (I do know there is a train, but that's sort of it).

2. 19th Century CE RPF

M!Charlotte von Preußen | Alexandra Feodorovna/M!Varvara Nelidova/Nikolai I Pavlovich | Nicholas I of Russia
M!Charlotte von Preußen | Alexandra Feodorovna/M!Varvara Nelidova/F!Nikolai I Pavlovich | Nicholas I of Russia
M!Charlotte von Preußen | Alexandra Feodorovna/F!Nikolai I Pavlovich | Nicholas I of Russia
Charlotte von Preußen | Alexandra Feodorovna/Varvara Nelidova/F!Nikolai I Pavlovich | Nicholas I of Russia
Charlotte von Preußen | Alexandra Feodorovna/M!Varvara Nelidova/Nikolai I Pavlovich | Nicholas I of Russia
Medium: Fanart
Medium: Fanfiction
Always a 63
Permanently a 63
Temporarily a 63

Okay, I'm this one nerd who always requests semi-obscure historical canons, and while this is not that obscure (mid-XIX century Russan Tsar, his wife and one of his lovers), it's not a popular thing. Still, the perspective are endless!
A direct always a different gender-switch would probably move the royal couple to Prussia - wives followed husbands, and thus they'd be a Prussian king and his wife instead - wonder if they'd still meet Nelidova?
Would M!Nelidova attempt the same way to attract Nicholas' attention - in real life she told him stories of his childhood as told her by her aunt, who was once a lover of Pavel I, Nicholas' father? Or would M!Nelidova court Charlotte first? What about the variant in which all are men - would this hurt Nicholas' chances of being the tsar, because in real life he was preferable to his elder brother Constantine because Nicholas was married with children and Constantine was in a morganatic marriage and had no legal kids? Single Nicholas with two male lovers around probably won't get the crown ;) (or he does still, because Constantine never wanted it, and just never marries, you know, the historical cliche of an eternal bachelor?)
Temporarily a 63 is such grounds for crack - like, imagine the uproar when a tsar suddenly wakes up a woman, or tsarina a man! Or their (I'm pretty certain that Nelidova was 'their' lover) lover suddenly becomes a man?
Or a magical version of 'our' reality, where people just sometimes change physical gender?
Note: crack doesn't mean that gender dysphoria is funny, it's just a way of describing possible shenanigans.
Art likes: pastel colours, corsetry, uniforms.

Fandom specific DNW: Crimean War described in detail, any mention of Nicholas I death being suicide (him being suicidal is fine, but I do believe his death to be a natural cause)
Possible sqick: patronymics and surnames should be appropriate to gender as expressed by the characters (so M!Nelidova would be Nelidov, F!Nicholas would be Romanova, etc).

3. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)  
F!Orson Krennic/F!Wilhuff Tarkin
Medium: Fanfiction
Temporarily a 63

Just gimme confused imperials who might or might not have an enemies-with-benefits going on! Very much a 'shenanigans issue prompt', so I'm not even certain what else I can add.

4. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types
F!Dooku/F!Wilhuff Tarkin (Clone Wars)
F!Dooku/F!Mace Windu (Clone Wars)
M!Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars)
Medium: Fanfiction
Always a 63
Permanently a 63
Temporarily a 63

This one is mostly an exercise in getting more fem or raising a question - how different would be Padmé and Anakin relationship if there's no danger of dying in childbirth? (a very specific feminine death, although again, the nightmares might just be about Padmé dying). 

Still, my favourite prompts for this fandom are always a Force user|not a Force user or an exchange of roles - Mace a Sith, Dooku stayed a Jedi (or on light side, if Dooku still left the order), Tarkin a fallen Jedi, Dooku a count of a suddenly very politically interesting planet, this kind of thing. 

5. Star Wars Legends - All Media Types  
Thalassa Tarkin/F!Wilhuff Tarkin
Natasi Daala/F!Wilhuff Tarkin
Medium: Fanfiction
Always a 63
Permanently a 63
Temporarily a 63

This one is again mostly about the gender roles of a pretty sexist canon - I'm pretty certain that Tarkin got a wife and a lover back in Legends mostly because that's how things are/were. So what of a F!Tarkin? Would she still get to the same level without a husband? Would there still be a scandal about Daala - a woman being a protege of another woman is not that rumour-worthy.

Feel free to involve anything from 'canon' Star Wars - it's fairly hard to distinguish finer details anyway!
