FFFX 2022

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 prompts is indicative as to which one I'd like best.

Same goes for art/fic: while I will try to think up likes/prompts for both, I don’t draw myself, so some of those might be more geared up towards writing. It doesn’t mean art isn’t very welcome!

DISCLAIMER: size of fandom section doesn’t equal my desire to receive works based on those prompts - don’t think that I won’t love your work just because I haven’t written much about a pairing! :)

So, general section:
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: canonical is fine, death while timeloops are going on are also fine.

- 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 than the middle intentionally keeping them in the dark and/or angst about it

General likes (in addition to specific prompts):

- hurt/comfort (preferably in balance, or with more focus on 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 battles 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) - I especially like some twist of the theme. For example, if a soulmark is the last words you hear from your soulmate, it changes, or if a character changes their name the soulmark changes as well (valid both for trans reasons and for converting ones), or it being so generic it might not be there at all until it clicks.

- daemon AU

- bodyswap

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

- pining

- mpreg (complete with abortion or miscarriage, although I’d rather you not dwell on actual childbirth)

- magical realism - be it just domovois running about and Lykho being something you can physically scare away, or more mainstream fire/water/air/earth powers, or anything else you can think up!

- complicated feelings

Art likes:
- clear lines
- full colours (not necessarily bright, more like not watered, unless it’s watercolour, of course)

- characters dressed up to the nines, in uniform (army, navy or full court dress - say, 19th century Russia was big on that for example), or corsets (on men as well, that was a thing and it was nice).  Also crossdressing!
- I prefer blue, red, green, violet  and black, but since this exchange is for comics, anything would be fine (monochrome or black and white is fine as well!)

Note: again, this is for a comic, so it’s completely unnecessary to bother with small details, I completely understand that it could be too time-consuming


Now, for fandom-specific prompts, squee and whatever I can manage - those are done in the sign-up configuration (unless Star Wars, which are combined), so just scroll down for the one you want to check out:

 

19 CE RPF )

 

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types  

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Wilhuff Tarkin (SW:TCW)

Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker/Wilhuff Tarkin (SW:TCW)

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Wilhuff Tarkin/Mace Windu (SW:TCW)

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Mace Windu (SW:TCW)

Bail Organa/Breha Organa/Wilhuff Tarkin (SW:TCW)

All options re: fic/fanart

This one is mostly an exercise in seeing how fairly different people would react in, well, relationships - it doesn’t help that Kenobi is shippable, and Organas are blorbos of a fandom friend, and Tarkin is a bit feral but still probably changeable at this point (or, like, amendable to being tamed by someone who isn’t Palpatine)

A few prompts:

- everyone is a Jedi!AU or Sith!AU for any pairing - preferably with characters retaining their age difference (if they were the same age - they are either all Masters or all Padawans/Students, if there was a difference of more than 5 years - Master and Padawan, preferably after the Padawan has reached their knighthood, this kind of thing)

- an established (possibly canonical) couple goes and seduces a third (or two, for additional shenanigans)

- two people try to woo the third one, this turns into a poly relationship

- timetravel! Everyone would benefit from a little time travelling adventure together, am I right? Maybe Obi-Wan comes back from the future and has now to change it, with or without help from his loved ones? Maybe Mace Windu falls through the window to ten years forward and Tatooine? Or any RT|OT|Clone wars characters are thrown back to SW:TOR era and have to navigate a very changed world where the only constant is the person you came through time with? (or anything in the past, I just play Star Wars: The Old Republic, so I'm familiar with the setting)

- soulmate!AU is my current favourite and I'd welcome anything with it, but a slight twist of the usual is very much appreciated - say, the last words a soulmate says to you being changeable (and actually changing every so often to something even more generic!) Or someone (... Anakin, or Tarkin) having their own name as either their enemy or their soulmate (if that's the soulmate!AU where people are born with two names on their wrists) and their partner(s) being _horrified_ and worried about the implications.

- good old roles switcheroo - Bail and Breha being the officers in the Navy while Tarkin stays a governor, Jedi Padme and Tarkin to Senator and Admiral Kenobi and Skywalker, this kind of thing?

Star Wars Original Trilogy  

Obi-Wan Kenobi & Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker (SW:OT)

Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker & Wilhuff Tarkin (SW:OT)

Bail Organa & Breha Organa & Leia Organa (SW:OT)

Bail Organa & Breha Organa & Luke Skywalker (SW:OT)

also Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker (SW:OT) & Mace Windu (SW:PT)

All options re: fic/fanart

This one is mostly about what if the twins were brought up by different people?

(or had a particular cloud of ghosts following, also possible)

I don’t think I saw anything with Larses, but feel free to add them - Obi-Wan is in their vicinity, and Owen and Beru definitely deserve some attention!

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)  

Orson Krennic/Wilhuff Tarkin (Rogue One)

All options re: fic/fanart

This one is an old favourite of mine, the one who managed to get me back into writing and uploading fics, so it’s a bit hard to describe - the Russian fandom lovely calls it a pairing of a snake and a toad, three guesses as to who is who. The main bit is the obviously present tension, although it could be hatefucking. Could be hate-mindfucking.

Could be “I hate you, but only I can kill you” (canon, actually, I guess :)).

Could be a rebel!AU where Tarkin is more akin to Saw Guerrera and Krennic is the one to get in funds? (check out shans’ designs on tumblr, very pretty!)

Or just something - I mean, it is a rarepair, there’s no wrong option! ;)

Crossover Fandom  

Russia (Anthropomorphic) & Any Romanov Ruler (RPF)

Russia (Anthropomorphic)/Any Romanov Ruler (RPF)

Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker (SW:OT) & Mace Windu (SW:PT) - see Original Trilogy above, it’s thematically linked there

All options re: fic/fanart

Fandom specific DNW: Nicholas II after 1905.

The first part of this one is left intentionally open ended on both sides because anthropomorphic countries are a delight and I don't know all the canons (I definitely followed Hetalia for a while, and some others), and I don't want to lock into a canon. So yep, anything goes, my fave Romanov is described above, but everyone else would also be cool.

(Sophia Alexeevna also counts, regent over Peter I and his brother Ivan V is enough of an achievement!)

Could be something serious, like Russia worrying over reforms or lack thereof, or trying to tell what needs doing - if the ‘soul’ of the country knows what’s best, that definitely depends on the idea of personification you’d choose.

Could be crack - like, soulmarks on a country could go in that direction (okay, Alexander it is, but which one, Nicholas Pavlovich, why did you name your son after your brother and send the country into a guessing spiral?) or Russia going for a list of best rulers in bed or in dance or in conversation, like, Peter III gets a 3, his wife a 7, Elisaveta Petrovna is a 10, that kind of thing.

Original Work  

Emperor/Empress/Their Courtier They Are Trying to Seduce (OW)

Alpha Emperor/His Omega Brother/Omega Brother's Alpha Wife (OW)

Ruler of the Country/Country (OW)

Old Ghosts in a Building & A New Ghost (OW)

God of Justice/His Paladin who Came to Arrest Him (OW)

Flamboyant Creator/Severe Government Official who Curates said Project (OW)

All options re: fic/fanart

Favourite settings: steampunk, XVII-XIX centuries, high fantasy

(try to guess what pairings some of those were based on)

I don't really have a preference for gender/appearance, although gingers are always cool, especially in art.

As for mood, I'd rather have something light-headed, if that's possible (not all pairings roll with it), and open-ended if not.

So, some thought over those:

Emperor/Empress/Their Courtier They Are Trying to Seduce (OW) - is it something they both decided on, is it one suggesting the idea and another warming up to it or is it a competition?

Alpha Emperor/His Omega Brother/Omega Brother's Alpha Wife (OW) - did the wife come into this knowing of the brothers’ arrangement or was it her inclusion that sparkled something?

Ruler of the Country/Country (OW) - could be physical, could be some extremely patriotic crack.

Old Ghosts in a Building & A New Ghost (OW) - I’ve had some lovely fics for this one, and I like the idea of For the 'Old Ghosts in a Building & New Ghost' I did offer a 'Romanovs' ghost in Winter Palace' prompt, this one could be as crackish as they go (with the caveat of NOT making light of anything happening to wider population, be it the Siege of Leningrad, any repressions going on or earlier epidemics or uprisings).

(I mean, there is a legend of the ghost of Paul I living in Michailovsky Castle, and while it was his dream, what if he lives there just because the rest turned him from Winter Palace?)

God of Justice/His Paladin who Came to Arrest Him (OW) – how do you even arrest the god of justice? for what? on what grounds? (do you officially become the god afterwards, is an arrest a disqualifier for godhood? is there a disqualifier for one?)

Flamboyant Creator/Severe Government Official who Curates said Project (OW) - do they grow to like each other? Do they not? Are there attempts at being romantic though bureaucratic channels?

Fallen London | Echo Bazaar  

Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha/Victoria Queen of the United Kingdom (Fallen London)

All options re: fic/fanart

This one is a new fancy, fairly in line with my love of both XIX century and steampunk.

The gist of Fallen London is as follows: it’s a browser text game, in which London fell down, below the earth. There are a number of entities who might have played a part - Masters, each governing a profession, devils, even probably the Iron Republic, - and also you can’t die there, so there’s a number of undead walking.

Whether Prince Albert is one of them, or was he healed - is the question. I admit I play infrequently, and haven’t read the wiki, but I believe the player doesn’t meet Albert and the most they get from Victoria is a vague unsettling description (as usual for the game - you can sell your soul there, after all!)

So yep, another explanation I latched on was whether it was Victoria who sold London to the Masters for her husband’s life?

I mean, what would make a queen of one of the biggest empires of the world sell her capital for her husband's being? (was it just the opportunity? was there something else in that offer? was it actually a thing prompted by other countries to weaker British Empire? was she just like that?)

Even if it is spelled out (I don't believe it would be), a work explaining it in details would be very welcome!

Les Misérables - Schönberg/Boublil  

Javert/Jean Valjean (Les Mis - S/B)

All options re: fic/fanart

This one is another old favourite, source of much joy - I chose the musical fandom for this, but I won’t be nitpicky about whether the details are from there or from the Brick.

I like Javert, personally, the eternal conflict between law and justice, and the problem of what to do if the very foundations of yourself are shattered.
(Valjean too, suffers, and you can argue that his world was shattered as well, first by injustice, second by mercy - I just resonated better with Javert, probably because lack of God)

To be honest, I also very much liked the groundhogs fics of this fandom, but anything goes.

Re: visuals - I saw a London version, but I won’t remember the actors and I definitely saw a recording of the anniversary one, but it’s not really necessary to adhere to any visuals apart from relative build/height
(if anything, the dapper Javert and Valjean of 1978 film with Anthony Perkins and Richard Jordan were more delightful, but again - I haven’t requested the film, so it’s not necessary)

The one prompt I could manage is as follows: soulmates do have corresponding marks, be it names or whatnot, and that's how Javert gets on Valjean's trail after whole M. Madeleine thing - Javert's mark changes according to how Valjean styles himself (whether Javert actually tries to show it as evidence is up to you, I would accept any logical explanation for and against such an action)

Also, legalese - Javert's reports about Valjean over the years, he was bound to write some.
