dear creator letter (@femslashex)
( Note: I was unable to finish my letter before assignments. Feel free to use my base sign-up if it works better for you. My DNWs have not changed! Final update: 28/09/20. )
Hello and welcome! I look forward to reading whatever you create for me. While I have included prompts for my requests, please don't feel beholden to them if something I've mentioned, or my likes list, inspires you in a different direction! The prompts are just there to help in case you need some more specific ideas!
With no further ado, I'll re-state my likes and DNWs before getting into fandom and pairing specifics.
Likes: angst with an unhappy ending, apocalypse AU, bittersweet endings, canon divergences, character studies, drunk confessions, fake dating, first times, five times fic, huddling for warmth, light bondage, on the run from the law, orgasm delay/denial, pining, power imbalances, rough sex, smutty character studies, soulmate AUs (both inverted and played straight), time-travel, unconventional formats and POVs.
DNWs: age play, animal play, blood-related incest, explicit underage (<16), foot fetish (shoes okay!), mpreg, noncon (dubcon okay!), omegaverse, raceplay, scat, unrequested gender headcanons, unrequested asexuality headanons, vore.
On art: I love bright colours, clean lines, nature landscapes, lazy days in bed, kissing in the grass, limited colour palettes, abstract art, pastiches, solemn expressions... honestly, I love pretty much all art and it would be hard to go wrong!
Ace Attorney
Adrian Andrews/Franziska von Karma
Although this is one of the fandom's stalwart pairings, I've never quite been able to find fic for them that tickles my itch in quite the right way! I tend to conceptualise them as having a rocky, but loving relationship, the kind where they want to be the best person they can for each other, but that the growth they require simply isn't possible within their dynamic.
Prompts: pre-ship pining, Adrian and/or Franziska coming to terms with their sexuality (whatever wlw identity that might be), meeting Adrian’s parents and the complications that come with that, reconnecting at a later date in the future and reflecting upon their past relationship.
Mia Fey/Lana Skye
Ahh, my favourite doomed Ace Attorney ship. I've shipped this ever since the words 'intellectual attraction' were uttered. This is another pairing that I see as messy and complicated but interspersed with moments of softness and hope.
Possible ideas: college days, getting to know each other, the impact Diego had on their relationship (was Mia using him for information? Did she have genuine feelings for him?), rekindling their relationship after a break-up and how their goals and the secrets they keep affect them, reflecting on past relationship, spirit-channelling-sex.
Ema Skye/Franziska von Karma
Did someone say hyper-competency? I just love the mental image of these two solving crimes together and then getting home and working through their excess energy. Or, if post-canon isn't quite your jam, I really like the idea of Franziska supporting Ema with her studies and basically being the best cheerleader for her partner.
Possible ideas: celebrating after Ema passes her forensics exam, having sex at the workplace (or a crime scene), sexual uses of a whip (maybe Fran has a different one (or more) for the bedroom? Up to you!), and just to wrap this up with something completely different: one or the other of them is murdered and the other one is determined to solve it.
Maya Fey/Adrian Andrews/Franziska von Karma
Filled under: Franziska von Karma has two hands. I love healthy polyamory, and for the purposes of this prompt I would prefer that all three are romantically involved with one another, although of course the way each person relates to the other will differ.
Prompts: creative use of the whip, Maya and Franziska bolstering Adrian's confidence when she starts feeling insecure, the three of them planning another character's wedding.(Feel free to have the married parties be whoever you like -- or hell, maybe they're planning their own wedding!)
Mia Fey/Franziska von Karma
I have loved the idea of these two ever since seeing the cattiness of their interactions in the second game. Whatever you have to do to get these two together to interact more (spirit-channelling, Mia doesn't die AU?) I'm here for it.
Prompts: Franziska tries to take control of a situation and Mia shows her how to really handle the reins, solving a case together, musings on what it means to be an attorney, arguments that lead to kissing.
Franziska von Karma/Lana Skye
Look, they're both prosecutors and I feel like Lana could be a really good influence on Franziska seeing as she tends to be more steady and stoic in times of distress as opposed to Franziska's fire.
Prompts: tender spring-time kisses, interacting with each other's families, kink negotiation, Franziska relinquishing control in the bedroom.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Rebecca Bunch/Valencia Perez
I would love a canon-divergence (from any part of canon that suits you) where Rebecca realises that instead of having to decide between men, she wants to date Valencia instead! Alternatively, even something post-canon would work. Maybe Beth and Valencia don't end up getting married (I'd prefer their split to be amicable), and Rebecca ends up writing an epic musical about her romance with Valencia?
Beth/Valencia Perez
I love their relationship, but I still can’t help but wish that we got to see more of it! How did Beth continue to woo Valencia, or was it Valencia that took the reins? How did she navigate and overcome her feelings of comphet?
Prompts: snippets of their relationship during the timeskip, Valencia planning the best wedding ever, meeting the parents, declarations of love, taking down homophobes together.
Rebecca Bunch/Audra Levine
I love their combative relationship and how they were raised to compete against one another from a very young age. After Audra's Vegas breakdown and Rebecca's realisations at the end of the series do they end up meeting once more and giving each other mutual love and support as two women who can understand each other's backgrounds? How is Rebecca with the triplets?
Dragon Age
Isabela/Anora Mac Tir
Look, I just love the idea of Isabela seducing a queen. Is Isabela sneaking around Denerim to visit her old friend the Hero of Ferelden? Or Alistair? Maybe Isabela inadvertently rescues Anora from a threat, or has intel that someone is trying to harm them, and sparks fly from there. Bonus points for Anora being (sexily!) frustrated that Isabela's getting under her clothes skin!
Female Cousland/Anora Mac Tir
Give me the sword lesbians that Bioware has denied me for so long! I love the idea of the two most powerful women in the nation defying societal expectations to rule alongside each other, or alternatively, snippets of their relationship prior to the course of canon.
Possible ideas: reflecting on how they’ve changed since they were young, Cousland and The Calling, deciding on a possible heir, lazy mornings in bed together, frantic sex after a near-death experience.
Female Hawke/Isabela
I just love how much trust and support they have in one another, that Isabela is one of the few characters (other than Varric) who will stand by Hawke regardless of the choices made at the end of DAII. How do they spend the time immediately after the chantry explosion (regardless of Hawke's decision), and does Isabela end up following Hawke to Weisshaupt? Or if Hawke is left in the Fade does Isabela attempt a rescue?
Female Inquisitor/Josephine Montilyet
I love these two and basically want to see any missing moments from canon, or anything post main game or post-Trespasser. If the Inquisitor is non-human, how does Josephine reconcile being with them as well as her duty to her family?
Prompts: meeting the parents, planning a wedding, tension between their assigned roles and what it means for their relationship, post-Trespasser decision and what it means for their relationship.
Female Hawke/Merrill
Despite her seeming naivety, Merrill is strong and determined and I love seeing her in that light. I'd prefer a friendship-romanced Merrill over a rival-romanced one (but if you have a strong idea, go ahead!) Does Merrill continue her research into the Eluvians? Do Hawke and Merrill ever discuss in detail all they have lost throughout the course of DAII? Where do they go after the Chantry explosion?
Josephine Montilyet/Cassandra Pentaghast
I just love the idea of opposites attracting, of them not quite understanding each other in the beginning but forging a mutual bond over their time in the Inquisition.
Prompts: dancing, arranged marriages (and how to overcome them), meeting each other's families, one of them reacting to the other being in mortal peril.
Isabela/Josephine Montilyet
I love how ships are very important to both of them, and I’d love to see how this would work in regards to them being a … ship. Thoughts on Rivain and Antiva are loved, as is smut with feelings!
Possible ideas: first impressions, Isabela teaching Josephine how to sail, Josephine being scandalised by Isabela’s actions while secretly loving them, Isabela writing smutty fanfiction about their relationship, snippets of their relationship during the timeskip.
Female Hawke/Cassandra Pentataghast
I can’t help but think Cassandra has a bit of a crush on the Champion of Kirkwall; she tried so hard to find Hawke prior to the events of Inquisition, and then there’s the swooning when Varric tells Cass about Hawke defeating the Arishok in single-handed combat… My preferred Hawke is a red or purple warrior or rogue, but a mage might work well with Cass given her history!
Possible ideas: bonding over both being declared Heroes, stolen moments in Skyhold, drinking games, why one should never meet their heroes, Hawke being left in the Fade.
Isabela/Merrill
I love how both Isabela and Merrill are two strong badass women who’ve had to put up with so much. In particular, I enjoy how Merrill may be a bit naïve, but that she’s always eager to learn more.
Prompts: Isabela showing Merrill the ropes (literally and figuratively), Isabela trusting Merrill enough to tell her the truth about her backstory, bloodplay and/or blood magic (and how do they both feel about that?), Isabela teaching Merrill to play Wicked Grace well.
Female Hawke/Isabela/Merrill
This is one of my favourite Dragon Age OT3s, and I just love the idea of them being in lesbians with one another. They are all strong women who have had to put up with so much shit, and I want to see them finding comfort and support in one another.
Possible ideas: Isabela and Merril running away with Hawke after the events of DA2, Hawke and Merrill deciding to join Isabela on her ship (let them be pirates), missing moments during the events of Inquisition, relationship negotiation, kink negotiation.
Mass Effect
Jack/Miranda Lawson
I love how Jack and Miranda's mutual dislike of each other grows into a begrudging sort of during the effects of Mass Effect 3. Do they decide to resolve their sexual tension in ME2? Hook up during/after the Citadel party in 3? How do they react to the ending of the series and what effect does it have on their relationship going forward?
Female Shepard/Ashley Williams
I love these two together, and love to see them bond over being two strong soldier-types, or indeed, anything else they might have in common. Does Shepard also enjoy poetry, or have hang-ups about their family or is a religious person?
Prompts: stolen moments during the course of canon, fraternization regs and how they make a relationship difficult, Shepard learning to appreciate their body again after being reconstructed, post-Destroy ending, Shepard and Ashley trying (and failing) to make it in the post-Refusal ending.
Cora Harper/Female Ryder
Outtakes from their relationship (whether they follow Scott’s romance path or take a different route), canon divergent AUs where they had met and gotten to know each other before the Initiative… I’m here for it all!
Prompts: gardening, falling in love, first times, Ryder telling Cora about her dad’s memories (and comfort ensuing), Cora’s reaction the times that Ryder dies.
Sloane Kelly/Female Ryder
I just love the idea of these two forging a relationship together, especially with Sloane's growing but begrudging respect of Ryder throughout the end events of the game.
Prompts: long distance relationship, taking the weight of leadership off each other's shoulders, the end justifies the means, Sloane takes Ryder up on that offered hug after the Battle of Meridian...
Miranda Lawson/Female Shepard
Miranda might have been genetically engineered to be perfect, but then Shepard was reconstructed to be humanity’s salvation by Miranda herself. How does Miranda reconcile these two factors?
Prompts: creative use of biotics, testing out the extent of Shepard’s cybernetics, post-game reflections upon their relationship (whether Shepard lives or dies), musing on what it means to be ‘human’.
Female Shepard/Liara T'Soni
I love these two together, and just how committed Liara is to Shepard. After the events of ME3, what steps does Liara go to to have Shepard by her side once more? What top-secret files does she acquire about Shepard through her role as the Shadow Broker and what effect does it have on their relationship? I'm also quite fond of setting-change AUs for these two, whether they be modern/contemporary or in a different setting altogether!
Female Shepard/Samantha Traynor
Sam’s enthusiasm and energy for life make me love her, and I’m sure it’s the same for Shepard! I will basically gobble up anything about this pairing, so whatever idea you may have, please drop it on my plate!
Prompts: shower sex, bonding over being from colonies, meeting the parents, reflections on their relationship after Shepard’s death/disappearance, chess games, toothbrushes.
The Handmaid's Tale
Emily Malek/Martha 6715301
I would love to see how these two navigated their relationship in the world of Gilead. Alternatively, canon divergence where they make a break for it?
Prompts: secret kisses, stolen moments, the lengths one will go to in order to protect the ones they love, committing a murder together.
Emily Malek/Moira Strand
Two of the most hardened characters in the television series, I feel like they have a lot in common even though they’re in different places in their recovery. I’d love to see more of them rediscovering life together, in whatever context.
Possible ideas: trauma bonding, rediscovering loving intimacy, resisting Gilead from the relative safety of Canada, domestic fluff and the contrast between that and what they’ve been through.
Emily Malek/Sylvia
I really liked the snippets of their relationship we got to see in season 3; it must be difficult to acknowledge how much a loved one has changed since going through a traumatic experience, and any exploration of that is loved. Additionally, pre-canon fic is great, too: how did they get together, how did they fall in love?
Prompts: getting reacquainted with loving intimacy, realising too much has changed and their relationship won’t work the same way anymore, snippets of life before Gilead and during the beginning stages of the uprising.
June Osborne/Serena Joy Waterford
They have such a complicated relationship during the second and third season,
and I am here for and all explorations of it. I appreciate how the power dynamics between them make it difficult for any sexual relations between them to be truly consensual, so I’m happy with however you decide to play it.
Prompts: sex as a form of finding intimacy in a hostile world, sex as a manipulation tactic, June escapes Gilead post season 3 and seeks out Serena (to either bond with her or taunt her, I’m not fussy), taking down Fred and the extended Gilead patriarchy together.
Odette/Moira Strand
I would love to see snippets of their relationship pre-Gilead, or any sort of canon-divergence where Odette doesn't die and what that means for their relationship.
Prompts: reconciling in Canada, discussions on what 'family' means to them, planning a wedding (considering Moira, I imagine it might be quite unconventional!)
The Outer Worlds
Ellie Fenhill/Female Captain
There is not enough content out there for this pairing and I am always craving more. I love how the Captain’s support of Ellie helps her to realise that allowing others to support you isn’t a weakness, and that she doesn’t see the inherent romantic subtext of asking the Captain to come meet her parents…
Prompts: creative reinterpretation of the phrase ‘watching your back’, working together to make Halcyon a better place, whatever happened to Earth anyway?
Persona 3
Mitsuru Kirijo/Yukari Takeba
I love their interactions and they have so much chemistry, especially on the school trip where Yukari needs to literally slap some sense in Mitsuru! I'd love to see them coming to terms with their attraction to one another, however they choose to conceptualise their sexuality. How do they deal with Mitsuru's fiance, and how do they manage their relationship while Yukari's still in school and Mitsuru's graduated? Or maybe they meet again many years later and (re)kindle things then?

DNWs: age play, animal play, blood-related incest, explicit underage (<16), foot fetish (shoes okay!), mpreg, noncon (dubcon okay!), omegaverse, raceplay, scat, unrequested gender headcanons, unrequested asexuality headanons, vore.
