The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)

Char: Creator's Choice of Thorin Oakenshield's Company (Hobbit Movies)

• I would absolutely love a deeper dive into whichever of the dwarves from Thorin’s Company most interests you! Where were they born? What were their parents and home life like? What did they do before the Quest? Why did they decide to go on the Quest? What do they do after it? 

Oth: Worldbuilding (Hobbit Movies)

• This is your ticket to pick whatever bit of The Hobbit canon you think is most interesting and write a story fleshing it out! Erebor? Dale? The Iron Hills? Dwarven guilds, or marriage customs? Lake Town’s economy? Smaug and the other dragons of the North? Go wild. 
• (Also feel free to include copious amounts of worldbuilding along with any of the other character/relationship tags!)

Char: Sigrid (Hobbit Movies)

• I’d be super interested in anything from Sigrid’s life! Pick any point you’d want to look at her story and go for it!
• Maybe what her life is like before the dwarves arrive? I would love to see something about Lake Town as it was before the reclaiming of Erebor, and what it was like to live there/grow up there.
• And afterwards - rebuilding Dale, becoming a princess. It’s a huge adjustment! 
• I would be totally down for a fic where Sigrid has to make an arranged match, and how that goes. Who does she pick, from what kingdom/group? (I am a sucker for arranged-marriage-to-love stories!)
• I would also be really interested in a story where something happens to her older brother and she has to deal with being Crown Princess/Queen (depending on when this happens). 

Sigrid & Tauriel & Tilda (Hobbit Movies)

• I imagine these three might get to know each other after the Battle of Five Armies, once everything has calmed down. They have a lot to deal with – losing her home and position for Tauriel, and losing their home and gaining a new one and becoming princesses for Sigrid and Tilda. Do they bond over their massive change in circumstances? Does Dale take Tauriel in, or does she just appear to live in the surrounding area, and no one knows what she’s doing, exactly? 
• I would absolutely love them bonding over something, and Tauriel perhaps teaching them some sort of skills, or perhaps a look at how their relationship grows and changes as the years pass? Perhaps Tauriel stays in Dale and they become close friends, or she comes and goes and they all only see each other rarely? I would also totally be up for an AU where something happens to Sigrid’s older brother and she has to become the Queen, and Tauriel helps her and Tilda with that. 
• Feel free to go in depth about rebuilding Dale and Erebor and the challenges inherent in that!

 

Star Wars: Thrawn Series - Timothy Zahn (2017)

Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Eli Vanto (SW: Thrawn)

I am happy for you to go with what the Ahsoka series laid out as Thrawn’s fate (going to another galaxy and enlisting the Night Sisters to get back etc) or if you want to do something different (or haven’t seen the show) go for it! Also, feel free to bring in characters from other bits of Star Wars, especially Rebels or Andor characters!

• Anything post-Rebels, either with Thrawn trying to deal with getting blasted off into unknown space and get back, or with Eli dealing with it. Does Eli go looking for him, or is something keeping him in the Ascendancy and he just has to try and accept the reality of Thrawn being gone? Anything with Eli reluctantly accepting Thrawn being gone and mourning him would be great, especially if Thrawn then reappears.
• Eli having to get into some kind of arranged politic marriage and Thrawn appearing at just the right moment to Crash The Wedding!
• Any kind of worldbuilding for the Ascendancy or Lysatra. Maybe they go visit Lysatra and Eli’s parents? Or they visit Thrawn’s homeworld/family? Or they have a day together on Csilla/Lysatra/some other Chiss world? 
• I also love plotty things, so anything with these two solving a case or mystery or going on a mission like they do in canon would be amazing. Murder mystery? The royal machinations of a particular planet? Imperial politics? Catching smugglers and/or rebels? Anything.
• I ship them a lot so would love to get shipfic of any kind, any of the above prompts + ship would be amazing. For specifically shipfic, I love pretty much anything, especially with Thrawn being the instigator. I love the trope of Chiss fraternization laws/social rules differing from humans, and how the two of them cope with that. Also marriage proposals/accidental marriage/arranged marriage would make my day, I love marriage tropes.
• Instead of joining an Imperial Academy, Eli ends up becoming a bounty hunter? Maybe something happens to his family/their business, which means he needs a quick way to make money? How does he meet Thrawn in this AU? Does Thrawn become a bounty hunter with him? Or maybe as an Imperial officer, Thrawn works with Eli the bounty hunter to track down rebels/other fugitives?
• On a similar note - space pirate Eli? Maybe Imperial!Thrawn trying to chase down Space Pirate!Eli?
• I would absolutely love anything with Eli being Force-sensitive. How does he hide it? Why did he still join the Empire if he knew? Does he know exactly what his strange abilities are? How do they get revealed to Thrawn? Maybe they get revealed, and Eli has to go on the run? 
• Alternately, Force-sensitive Eli was discovered by the Empire and recruited as an Inquisitor, and that’s how he ends up meeting Imperial officer Thrawn? Maybe they become partners like in canon, only Eli is on an equal or maybe even greater level rank-wise than Thrawn, since he’s an Inquisitor. Inquisitor!Eli helping Grand Admiral Thrawn hunt down the Ghost crew during Rebels would be amazing!
• Eli dealing with the fallout of what happened in the first season of the Ahsoka show - what does he think about Thrawn coming back? And at the head of a zombie stormtrooper army? And possibly aiming to become the ‘Heir to the Empire’? Has Thrawn given up on the Ascendancy - or has he heard through the Night Mothers’ connection to Morgan that something terrible happened to it because of the Grysk? 
• In Legends canon, Thrawn had a clone - if you wanted to do something with clone!Thrawn that fits the new canon timeline, go wild! How, when, and why did he get created? Where is he? Maybe Eli finds him while the original Thrawn is lost, and they develop a complicated relationship? Does the clone have Thrawn’s memories, or is he entirely his own person? Feel free to do Eli/clone!Thrawn, or Thrawn/Eli/clone!Thrawn if you’d like! (And I would not object to him being called Thraawn, if you so desire xD) 
• Somehow, these two and/or the Chimaera crew get drafted via Yularen into working with the ISB, in which they meet Dedra, Partagaz, and the whole ISB crew we meet in Andor. How does that go? 
• I adore horror stories in space, so I would love to see Eli and Thrawn dealing with something like that. Feel free to have it be a horror story occurring in the Star Wars universe, or make it an AU. (I was thinking of Alien-style creature horror when I wrote this (and I would LOVE any kind of Alien!AU) but feel free to go where your heart takes you for this!) Regarding my main character death DNW: this still applies for Eli and Thrawn, but for this horror request only, I am okay with other named/major characters (e.g. Faro, Yularen, etc.) dying. 

 

Star Wars: Ahsoka (TV)

Shin Hati/Sabine Wren (SW Ahsoka)

Fandom Specific DNW: For this, please no background and/or past Sabine/Ahsoka. I like them a lot as a platonic, master and disciple, mentor and protégée relationship, though, if you’d like to include that!
 

Not a DNW, but a preference: I admit I’m not the biggest fan of the Force Senstive!Sabine idea they went with in the show. I kind of like the idea of her being only mildly Force Sensitive, and she considers it another tool in her arsenal alongside all the Mandalorian weapons/techniques she already has, or a mental discipline thing (i.e. the meditation) rather than changing up her entire life/fighting style, or ‘becoming a Jedi’, etc.

• I just wanna see what happens next for these two! We love lesbians who want to kill each other xD
• How do they both deal with being on a completely alien planet in an entirely new galaxy?
• How do they deal with the people on the planet?
• I would love to see the ways they come back together - through fighting, or maybe something forces them together in a situation where they can’t fight/have to work together? 
• Multiple fights, which neither of them wins, lead to more understanding, or a moment where they want to learn more about each other, instead of just fighting all the time?
• Attempts to somehow get back to their own galaxy?
• Or, alternatively, attempts to get somewhere else in this new galaxy and explore what’s going on there?
• Dealing with whatever Weird Force Shenanigans are going on on Peridea together? 

二哈和他的白猫师尊 - 肉包不吃肉 | The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat

Luo Fenghua/Nangong Xu | Xu Shuanglin (2HA)

The ultimate tragic shizun/disciple pair!

• NGX realising he’s in love with shizun and setting about seducing him and LFH reluctantly being seduced against his better judgement… chef’s kiss. I don’t mind this going into dubcon territory (NGX taking advantage of a drunk LFH? NGX intentionally dosing himself or his shizun with some kind of sex pollen?) so long as its clear LFH wants to fuck NGX but he’s holding back bc of societal pressure/expectation.
• LFH standing up for NGX when he’s accused of stealing his brother’s techniques. Why? What changes? Does LFH leave the sect with NGX?
• Alternately, NGX kidnapping LFH when he leaves the sect. Do people come after them? Where do they go? Would be very into lots of anger and hurt feelings between them bc NGX feels betrayed while LFH thinks his disciple is dishonest. Would also be VERY into noncon here with NGX taking advantage of his prisoner, especially if it starts out angry and betrayed but gets more gentle and tender bc he’s still pathetically in love with shizun.
• NGX does manage to resurrect LFH on the night of Nangong Si’s failed wedding. How the hell does that go? I can’t imagine LFH is thrilled about having been consigned to hell and torment just so NGX would have a chance of reviving him. NGX taking him back to Mount Jiao? Would be down for angsty noncon here.
• Added to the above scenario, if that goes down and NGX still dies as in canon and LFH survives until post-canon, I can’t help but think his relationship with Ye Wangxi would be reeeally interesting. Reluctant father feels?

原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Oth: Worldbuilding (Genshin Impact)

• I’m a huge lore nerd so you can go wild on this!!! I love all the history that Tevyat has - how the ruins of older civilisations are scattered everywhere, and the more we learn, the more I feel like this world is very much post-apocalyptic - maybe post-several apocalypses! If you wanted to dig into an older civilisation, a different time period, or explore how those things affect the modern world of Tevyat, I would be 100% down for that!

Diluc/Jean/Kaeya (Genshin Impact)

• This ship is such a tangle of complicated relationships, and I would love to see them detangle that and work out that they work better together!
• I feel like this ship is a prime target for arranged marriage shenanigans! Maybe a ‘uniting the ancient houses’ marriage between Diluc and Jean - do they go through with it? Or maybe Diluc breaks it off when his dad dies? Or he thinks that would be dishonourable and goes through with it, even though his dad isn’t around to enforce it? How do they work out how to bring Kaeya into that? I’m so here for ‘person outside the marriage pining for both people in it, while both people in the marriage pine for the same person outside it.’
• 100% in love with the idea of Kaeya learning to trust again with Jean after he and Diluc fall out, and then she helps them come back together. 
• Also ngl, I think the smut would be smoking! Will 100% take 10k of smut for this ship. When I first saw it in the tagset I had this vision of Kaeya fucking Diluc’s ass while Diluc ate Jean out. I feel like Diluc also just needs to be pegged… tied up and pegged/fucked, even… honestly, bully him xD Also, using visions during sex?? 

Xiao | Alatus/Zhongli (Genshin Impact)

• The slave who thinks of himself only as a weapon/honourable master who saves him and wants him to have his own personhood and agency dynamic is So Good. Them working out that relationship immediately after Zhongli kills Xiao’s old master will always be catnip for me!
• Anything with getting together somehow after thousands of years of stupid pining. I will ALWAYS be into that!
• The ending of the Chasm quest was everything, and a little TLC after that, or a discussion about what Xiao found, would be awesome. I live for the Xiao angst about the other yaksha and what happened to them, and I imagine that time in the Chasm would've brought all that back. I would also love to see Zhongli's perspective on his relationships with the yaksha and his feelings about their deaths!
• I am always into PWP in this ship - after a lot of pining? Zhongli being very hesitant, knowing how Xiao's previous master abused him? Scenarios where non-con was part of Xiao's previous master-servant relationship and he assumes that'll carry over here, leading to sex that he initiates because he thinks it's expected and all the consent issues around that are catnip to me - as is Xiao realising somehow that he's legitimately in love with Zhongli and being unsure how to handle that, and Zhongli realising that Xiao didn't just approach him out of legitimate desire and having to grapple with that.
• I would also love a scenario where Xiao's master actually didn't abuse him sexually, but Zhongli assumes they did, and holds back for that reason, and they have to clear the misunderstanding up.
• I would also love them having a first time years later when they've figured that whole agency and personhood thing out! I have this vague idea of going hard on the luxury kink here, maybe with Zhongli having some very fancy apartment in Liyue harbour with all the luxuries, beautiful silk robes for them, etc.
• Dragon!Zhongli, especially during sex (monsterfucker vibes ftw). 

 

The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien

Azaghâl & Maedhros (Silmarillion)

• So Maedhros meets this intriguing, honourable, fierce dwarf king. What’s an elf to do except ask him if he wants to hang ou- I mean, make an alliance with him? 
• I’d love anything exploring cultural differences, what the dwarven cities of the First Age are like, and how Maedhros and Azaghâl hammer out the details of their alliance. 
• Elves visiting the dwarven cities would be amazing! Any and all First Age Dwarven worldbuilding!
• Expansion on Azaghâl and his background and literally everything about him?

Caranthir/Haleth of the Haladin (Silmarillion)

• I love characters who step up when things look hopeless and there’s no one else left. Something detailing the siege against the orcs and how Haleth deals with it would be amazing!
• I also love the idea that Caranthir is so taken with this mortal woman and her bravery that he offers to give her people part of his own land within a pretty short time of meeting her. I’d love to know more about their short time together, how they (I imagine somewhat warily) get to know one another, and whether they express their feelings or leave things tragically unsaid. 
• Or an AU where Haleth and her people stay? How does their relationship progress? And if they do get together, obviously Caranthir will long outlive her – how do they deal with that? 
• Or maybe there’s an AU where they meet again somehow, once Haleth has settled with her people elsewhere?

Char: Caranthir (Silmarillion)

• I would really love something set in Beleriand, when Caranthir is a lord in his own right with his own land. How does Thargelion run? How did he set up his kingdom? What are the people like, what’s trade like?
• Caranthir’s alliance with the dwarves – how did it come about? Is he really as disdainful of them as the narration in the Silm makes him out to be?
• What is it like for him after the Nirnaeth? Having to leave Thargelion, knowing all his hard work and the place he loved has been destroyed? Living with his brothers again?
• What are his thoughts and feelings in the run-up to and during the attack on Doriath?

Char: Maedhros (Silmarillion)

• Probably my favourite character in the Silmarillion, if I'm being honest! I love characters who struggle with legacy, and that's something I think Maedhros struggles with in spades. How does he deal with what his father did, his family did, he did?
• Maedhros setting up Himring – how does he decide on the spot, build the castle, etc? Are there people in the land of Himring aside from the Noldor whom he has to convince to live under his rule?
• Anything about his alliance with the dwarves and how it happens, especially Maedhros visiting a dwarven city!
• Perhaps a fic about a cosy winter or cool summer at Himring? 
• I also ship him pretty hard with Fingon! Though I didn’t have enough specific ideas to request them on their own, I would love Fingon/Maedhros included in any capacity!
• I also love his complicated relationship with Maglor and the twins at the end of it all (more on that below!)

Char: Original Elf Follower of the Sons of Feanor (Silmarillion)

• Feel free to make up whatever kind of backstory you like for this character - is this someone who’s been a follower since Valinor and left the Blessed Land with them, or someone who they met in Beleriand? I am fascinated by how the Noldor interacted with the Sindar/Silvan/Avari elves whom they met in Beleriand when they returned, if that sparks any ideas! How long do they follow the sons of Feanor - to the end? Do they fall in battle? Do they decide they can’t follow them into another kinslaying? Is this person even a warrior at all, or do they do something completely different? I would be very interested to see the perspective of followers of the Sons of Feanor who aren’t warriors, and therefore aren’t kinslayers, but get tarred with the same brush anyway. 

Elrond Peredhel & Maedhros (Silmarillion)

• I prefer to see Maedhros as not hostile to Elrond and Elros, though whether he considers himself their adoptive father like Maglor does or not is up to you. 
• I saw a theory after the first Hobbit movie came out that Elrond had learnt Ancient Dwarvish from Maedhros (since Maedhros had had that alliance with Azaghal) so something about that would be super sweet!
• Anything dealing with the changing relationship between them, from hostage/captive all the way to Maglor’s (and Maedhros’?) foster-son. Why does Mae decide to take Elrond and Elros hostage (or agree when Maglor does it)? 

Maedhros & Maglor (Silmarillion)

• I mentioned I love Maedhros above, and I love the different interpretations people have of Maglor. People often tend to see him as the quiet, calm one, but is he? I think his closest relationship is with Maedhros, so exploring their relationship and how it changes over the years would be great. I also love their complicated relationship at the end of the story, when they’re the only two left after everything they’ve been through. How do they deal with all that, and how they’ve changed? 

Oth: Worldbuilding (Silmarillion)

• This is your ticket to pick whatever bit of The Silm canon/world you think is most interesting and write a story fleshing it out! (The only place I’d be less excited to see is Menegroth and/or Thingol, though I would definitely be interested in places in Doriath that are less well trodden/away from the capital).
• (Also feel free to include copious amounts of worldbuilding along with any of the other character/relationship tags!)

 

Star Wars: Rebels

Alexsandr Kallus/Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios (SW Rebels)

• What’s that first conversation like after they rescue Kallus from Thrawn? The Ghost crew are understandably reluctant about believing Kallus is Fulcrum or treating him like part of the team at first, but now here he is looking like he's been through the wringer... Does Zeb help patch him up? Maybe they talk through how Kallus actually ended up becoming a spy?
• How do these two admit that they’ve fallen for each other? What kind of things do they get up to during the war? I am a sucker for pining, so these two risking life and limb helping the Rebellion while pining for each other would make me very happy. Any sort of Rebel adventures plus pining would be absolute catnip for me!
• Post-OT, where are these two in the budding New Republic? The end of Rebels showed us Zeb taking Kallus to the new Lasat homeworld, so what's that trip like? Are they together at that point and Zeb is introducing Kal to the family? Or is that when they realise they're something more than friends? What kind of jobs do they get in the New Republic, and what other kind of stuff do they get up to? We know Zeb is a pilot and helps Din and Grogu, so where is Kallus during that?
• Very up for anything xeno/PWP. Has Kallus even had sex with a non-human before? Has Zeb ever slept with a human, for that matter? What's it like with all that fur? Does Zeb have some kind of odd alien junk to deal with? Go wild ;)
• Would be very down with them interacting with Andor characters like Vel, Melshi, Kleya, Bix, Wilmon, Cinta, and of course Cassian himself!
