Dear Confectioner:
Jan. 7th, 2025 05:38 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
violsvaHi! Thanks so much for writing for me, and congratulations on your evident good taste!
If you want to benignly internet-stalk me to get an idea of my interests, Tumblr and AO3 are probably a better idea than DW. Though I have been book blogging recently.
I have requested Band Sinister by K. J. Charles, the Roaring Twenties Magic series by Allie Therin, Tortall by Tamora Pierce, and Tam Lin by Pamela Dean. I am happy with any fic rating or length, and welcome extra treats.
A large and random list of things I like in general: worldbuilding, hurt/comfort, huddling for warmth, teamwork, competence, adventure, lesbians, ethical dilemmas, loyalty conflicts, people being clever, twisty plots, gender issues, sibling or sibling-like relationships, epistolary fic, backstory, pining, physical affection, queerness, philosophy, romance, UST, found families, mythological and literary allusions, polyamory, slash, het, femslash, passionate platonic friendships, hidden worlds, cities, wilderness travel, banter, complicated plans, beautiful landscapes, angst, puns, magical realism, history, social class issues, older women with major roles, case fic, period accuracy, gen, smut, pwp, diversity of opinion, secret identities, fairy tales, specific sense of place... Feel free to use any of these, don't try to use all of them.
DNW: Child- or pregnancy-focused fic, high school AUs, fic entirely centred around a wedding or wedding preparation or Valentine's Day, incest, or graphic depictions of rape or gore or torture.
Fandom specific thoughts and optional details:
Band Sinister - K. J. Charles
Relationships:
Amanda Frisby & Guy Frisby
Guy Frisby/Philip Rookwood
Lord Corvin/Guy Frisby
Lord Corvin/Guy Frisby/John Raven/Philip Rookwood
Lord Corvin/John Raven/Philip Rookwood
I am really feeling canon divergence AUs for this, so here are some suggestions for those:
- What if the Murder had been in London during Amanda's disastrous Season, and they met the Frisbys then?
- What if Amanda had taken matters into her own hands near the end of the book and decided to become Philip's "mistress" to get both herself and Guy away from their aunt?
- What if Corvin had seduced Guy first, either during or before canon? When Philip falls in love with Guy in canon, how does that history affect Philip's relationships with both of them?
- What if Guy had had the chance to make more scholarly friends and met the Murder through one of the scientist members, either in London or some other time before canon? Maybe just through correspondence, until his penpal says, "By the way, I'm going to be in Yarlcote next month..."
Alternatively, I would like to see some of the likely results of canon events: for example, Guy facing up to the fact that he can't always stop people from gossiping and sometimes that's okay. Guy and Amanda in the less-respectable parts of London society, both the parts they would enjoy, like literary circles, and the parts they probably wouldn't, like gambling dens. Early sexy experiments between Guy/Philip/John/Corvin (whether they end well or not). Alternatively, Phillip trying to balance his relationship with Guy and his relationships with John and Corvin without all of them being together at once, and the strains or benefits from that.
Roaring Twenties Magic - Allie Therin
I have read everything set in this universe, so use as much of it as you want and toss in any other characters you like. I talked about some of what I like in this fandom here.
Jade Robbins/Jianwei Zhang
I love Jade and Zhang so much and I wish there was a whole series about them. Anything would make me happy; here are some suggestions.
- Their first meeting, ideally with one or both of them immediately deciding "Yes, this one."
- Zhang studying something that Jade is surprisingly able to help with.
- Jade solving a problem that someone in Zhang's family is having.
- Zhang, shortly after meeting Jade, solving a problem that one of her friends or family are having.
- Teamwork with magic and other skills to solve a mystery or perform an otherwise-impossible task.
Wesley Collins/Sebastian de Leon
I love how these two interact, how they're different with each other from how they are with everyone else, how they change and don't change as a result of their relationship, how they are so obviously deeply into each other in multiple ways even when they won't admit it. I also love Wesley's one track mind.
Honestly I just want more of them doing anything. Especially hurt/comfort. I wish I had more specific prompts but I really will be happy with anything, smut included but not necessary.
Tortall - Tamora Pierce
Relationships:
Onua Chamtong & Veralidaine Sarrasri
I love Onua and her relationship with Daine and I want to see more of her than we got. Backstory, maybe, or more with Onua as a sister figure, scenes between Wild Magic and Wolf Speaker, Onua interacting with or trying to avoid the politics of the rest of Jonathan's court, working with her own wild magic, anything.
Tam Lin - Pamela Dean
Relationships:
Robert "Robin" Armin/Molly DuBois
Robert "Robin" Armin & Thomas Lane
What interests me here is Robin's interactions with mortals, who he does honestly like or love, while not being mortal himself but perhaps remembering what it was like to be. He's less outwardly normal/modern than a lot of Medeous's court, and he seems perfectly happy that way. How much is his relationship with Molly going to change him? Is it going to continue after she leaves Blackstock? Is he going to leave the Faerie court now that Molly's pulled him off his horse? How accurate was Thomas's assessment, "They'd have wept for me, I calculate, around the year 3000?" If Robin's relationship with the Faerie court has changed, does that change his relationship with Thomas too?
