saiditallbeforeDear Creator,
I'm sure I'll like whatever you make for me, so just have fun! I know there are some pairings that have more prompts than others, but that just means I had a lot of ideas for those (or had a past letter to copy & paste from). If I requested a character, I would be happy to see just about anything for them!
I am open to extra treats.

Chelli Lona Aphra (SW)/River Song (Doctor Who)
I've read the 2016 run of Aphra comics and I have listened to the Doctor Aphra book, and I adore her. She's kind of a sociopath, but she's so delightful! I also really love River Song-- she's charming and adventurous and also willing to shoot first and ask questions later. And they're both SPACE ARCHAEOLOGISTS! They could be rivals, or work together, or meet on a dig (which one or both of them would almost certainly be at illicitly)! The possibilities are endless!
Reva Sevander | Third Sister (SW OWK) & Trilla Suduri | Second Sister (SW JFO)
Reva Sevander | Third Sister (SW OWK)/Trilla Suduri | Second Sister (SW JFO)
These two would have been Inquisitors at the same time. How do they feel about each other? Does Trilla have suspicions about Reva's revenge scheme? I'd also be interested in an AU where Trilla lives, and she has to decide what to do with Reva after Reva leaves the Inquisitors.
Mara Jade (SW Legends)/Qi'ra (SW Solo)
Feel free to fudge timelines however you need to to make this fit; I just like the idea of these two morally gray women together. They're both ruthless and willing to do whatever it takes to survive, but they're not quite on the same side. Something where they're forced to work together would be really fun, but I'd also love something where they're antagonists (maybe they're going after the same item? or maybe one of them has captured the other?). I'm also a big fan of Force-sensitive Qi'ra, if you want to bring that in.
Jupiter Jones/Caine Wise
I adore every moment of this beautiful and dumb movie. I love Jupiter's wide-eyed awe at getting to see a part of the universe that most humans will never see, and I love Caine's unquestioning devotion and dedication to a queen who doesn't know what the fuck she's doing. I'm interested in what happens after the movie! I'd love to see Jupiter trying to balance her life on Earth with her activities in space, possibly failing and getting her family worried about what she's gotten involved in. I'd love to see how she explains her new, Definitely Not An Alien, boyfriend to people. I'm fine with appearances from anyone and everyone still living at the end of the movie, and any OCs you can think of.
Fandom-specific notes: When it comes to Nomi, I'm obviously fine with her addressing how being trans affects her life, but I'm not interested in making her soapbox about trans issues or making plots involving her all about transphobia or being trans.
Amanita Caplan/Nomi Marks
I love these two so much and how ride-or-die they are. Amanita set a hospital room on fire to help rescue Nomi, and was 100% on board with her girlfriend suddenly having a psychic connection to seven other people. And their wedding is so sweet! I'd love to see whatever happens next for them, now that no one is trying to kill them (probably).
Hernando Fuentes/Lito Rodriguez/Daniela Velasquez
I really love their weird and unconventional relationship. Hernando and Lito are so good together (when Lito isn't sabotaging his own happiness), but I really love what Daniela brings to their relationship. She's not exactly in a sexual relationship with them, but they love each other and they're a family all the same. I just really love them, okay?
Sun/Riley/Wolfgang/Kala/Will/Nomi/Capheus/Lito
I'd love to see what happens to the eight of them next, now that Whispers and the BPO have been dealt with. Where does Sun go, now that her name has been cleared? How does Capheus's foray into politics go? Do Riley and Will return to Chicago? How does Will feel about going back to being a cop after all he's done and seen? How does Wolfgang and Kala's relationship (with each other, and with Rajah) evolve now? What happens with Lito's big Hollywood break? How does married life suit Nomi?
I love everyone's supporting casts and significant others, so please feel free to include them as well.
Fandom-specific notes: I actually love the Darkling, despite how many awful things he did. Feel free to have the characters hate him or have complicated feelings about him or generally talk about his actions and how those actions effected them/Ravka, but keep it to his canonical actions and their canonical feelings about him; don't make extra stuff up.
For ship fics featuring Alina during or post season 2, feel free to keep her canonical political engagement to Nikolai if you want, but keep it purely a political arrangement between friends, with no romantic feelings on either side. (Obviously, this doesn't apply to my Alina/Nikolai/Mal prompts.)
Mentions of canonical past noncon are okay, but I'd prefer you don't get more detailed than canon.
Nikolai Lantsov/Mal Oretsev/Alina Starkov
I'm fine with either an OT3 or a V-shape for this. I love love love arranged marriage tropes, especially when the parties involved don't expect to catch feelings. I'd love to see Nikolai and Alina go through with their political marriage, and unexpected feelings start to develop. Does Alina have a crisis when she starts to feel just as strongly for Nikolai as she does for Mal? What is it like for Mal to see them together and be unable to have a relationship with Alina in public? Do Mal and Nikolai start to realize they have feelings stronger than friendship for one another? I'm also into the whole Dread Pirate Roberts thing Nikolai and Mal have going on with Sturmhond, so if you want to play with that I'd love it.
Inej Ghafa/Alina Starkov
I love that despite her deep trauma, Inej still has so much kindness in her. She's willing to do whatever's necessary to protect herself and her friends, including killing people. I love that she still keeps her faith, despite everything. Honestly, Inej is one of my favorite characters in the whole show; she's such a fascinating mixture of cynicism and earnestness.
Alina is another incredibly earnest character! She's very naive when the show starts out, but even though hardships and betrayal have made her a bit more cynical about people and their motivations, she still really wants to do her best to help Ravka and its people. I also really like her struggles with being tempted by power, by thinking that if she had just a little more she could fix everything.
I really love how much these two admire one another. Inej sees Alina as a Saint, of course, but Alina has been saved multiple times by Inej now and seems to really admire how capable Inej is. Maybe Alina ends up joining the Crows in Ketterdam after season 1, and the two of them grow closer then? Or maybe Inej remains in Ravka for a while after season 2? Or maybe they meet whenever Sturmhond's ship stops in Ravka, and the two of them regularly catch up then?
Fandom-specific note: I am a show-only fan, so please do not hinge any fanworks around knowledge from the books.
Moiraine Damodred/Siuan Sanche
Moiraine is a shady bitch and I absolutely love that about her. It's completely understandable-- she's been spending 20 years looking for the next Dragon Reborn! But even though her motives are generally pure, she still spends a lot of time pushing people around or manipulating them. (Again, to be clear, I love that for her.) I'm really interested in how she feels about that. Does she feel conflicted? I'm also really fascinated by her relationship with Siuan: they clearly love each other, but their duties keep them apart. I'd love to see more stolen moments between them.
I love everything about these two: their shared history, their chemistry, how devoted they are to each other despite everything in their way. That oath was basically a marriage vow! They love each other so much, but they care about their shared mission and the fate of the world more-- and they know that they might lose each other because of it. It's beautiful and terrible and I love it.
Moiraine Damodred/Lan Mandragoran/Siuan Sanche
I'm really fascinated by how the bond between Moiraine and Lan plays into Moiraine and Siuan's relationship. In the show, Lan is one of the few (perhaps the only?) who knows about their relationship, simply because Moiraine cannot keep secrets from him. I'd love to see that and his absolute loyalty to Moiraine taken a step forward and turning romantic/sexual. I'm also really interested in how he and Siuan might relate to each other, since we don't really see much interaction between them. Is this a v-shaped relationship with Moiraine as the center? Or have they developed their own relationship over the years?
Nynaeve al'Meara/Egwene al'Vere
I also absolutely adore Nynaeve. I love how protective she is of the people she cares about, and that she refuses to be afraid of things that should definitely scare her.
She and Egwene known each other for forever, and they care about each other so much! They both believe in each other deeply, even if they don't always agree. I love how much Egwene looks up to Nynaeve, and how much Nynaeve respects and believes in Egwene. And everything they've been through-- apart and together-- has just solidified that.
Nynaeve al'Meara/Moiraine Damodred/Lan Mandragoran
Everything I said about Moiraine and Lan above applies here, too. I also really love Lan and Nynaeve's romance in canon: they have such amazing chemistry, and they're drawn to each other despite how much Nynaeve clearly wants to dislike Lan. And Nynaeve and Moiraine's relationship is great again in a different way: they're prickly and a bit too alike, but they also really understand each other and would make a great team if they ever were working toward the same goal. I'd love to see anything with these three and their mess of beautiful and complicated feelings.
