Dear Creator (@specsrecs)
Hello and welcome! For the record, I am also ![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
ziskandra on AO3.
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!
Likes: angst with an unhappy ending, apocalypse AU, bittersweet endings, body horror, canon divergences, character studies, dubcon due to power imbalances/altered states, drunk confessions, fake dating, first times, five times fic, femdom, huddling for warmth, light bondage, on the run from the law, orgasm delay/denial, pegging, pining (requited or not), rough sex, setting change AUs, sex pollen, smutty character studies, soulmate AUs (both inverted and played straight), time-travel, unconventional formats and POVs (e.g. mixed media, interactive fiction, first/second person, outsider POV), watersports.
On art: I love bright colours, clean lines, nature landscapes, lazy days in bed, kissing in the grass, or in the RAIN!, holding hands, the bigger person being carried by the smaller person, physical intimacy, couples wearing each other's clothes, limited colour palettes, abstract art, pastiches, tarot cards, solemn expressions... I'm not a huge fan of chibis and the like, but any other art style? You cannot go wrong!
DNWs:
age play, animal play, bestiality, explicit underage (under 16), foot fetish (shoes okay!), mpreg, omegaverse, physically violent noncon, raceplay, scat, unrequested asexuality headcanons, unrequested gender headcanons, unrequested incest, vore, non-default names for protagonists.
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/Female Shepard Clone
I'd love to see the Shepards get into a power struggle while doing their best to disguise their own insecurities: original Shepard feeling inferior because she isn't flawless like her clone, and the clone feeling hollow because she doesn't have the lived experience -- the SOUL -- that her original counterpart has.
And how best to resolve such feelings?
By trying to overpower the other (sexually or otherwise).
Kaidan Alenko/Female Shepard/Garrus Vakarian
Obviously both Garrus and Kaidan care about Shepard a lot -- does this cause conflict between them? Or does it draw them closer together because they both think they can't have Shepard (until they do?) Whatever canon point, whatever Shepard backstory, I just want to see the three of them carve out a relationship that works for them. Personally, I like Shepard to be more Renegade than Paragon, but feel free to go with whatever works best for you!
Alec Ryder/Ellen Ryder
I'd honestly love anything for this ship. Pre-canon: how did they meet, how did they feel about becoming parents, what challenges did they face in their marriage? Or maybe an Alec-doesn't-die AU? Does he loop anyone into the fact that Ellen is still alive? What's her reaction when he revives her?
Jien Garson/Sloane Kelly
I would love some canon-divergence where Jien isn't presumed dead and instead lives to see Andromeda. How does this affect the Initiative's morale? How does Sloane assist Jien in painting her masterpiece? What steps are required for them to admit their feelings to one another? Alternatively, I'd love Sloane investigating Jien's 'death' under any circumstances (whether the events of Nexus Uprising happen the same way they do in the book or not). Of course, I'd prefer it if Jien was found alive at the end!
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...
Liam Kosta/Female Ryder
I'm really feeling AUs for this pairing at the moment. Perhaps something mundane, like a coffeeshop or college AU? Or a timeline divergence where neither of them go to Andromeda and are left behind on Earth during the Reaper War? Soulmate AU? Heck, AU them into your favourite fairy-tale; your imagination's the limit!
Alternatively: Ryder tells Liam about what she learnt from looking at her father’s memories. Comfort ensues.
Calvin Kosta & Joelle Kosta & Liam Kosta
I am here for any exploration of Liam and his family! What was it like having parents who were intergalactic lawyers? What were his last moments on Earth like with them? How do his parents cope after Liam is gone? Does Liam take after his dad or his mum more?
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… modern AUs (coffeeshop? bakery? office? highly-specific-workplace?) 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.
Alec Ryder & Cora Harper; Alec Ryder/Cora Harper
As you can tell, I'm happy with a totally gen reading of their relationship, or a shippy one, or something that straddles the line of both. I love their interactions (even despite how little of it we see in game), and I have read the Mass Effect: Initiation novel, so I’d love anything building upon what we see in that book, or alternatively, your own take on their pre-Andromeda relationship!
Prompts: Cora looking up to Alec as a mentor, bonding between the two, Cora’s feelings on being second-in-command, an AU where Alec doesn’t die and how does that affect his relationship with Cora?
