General: Canon Divergence, the void, dark and rather messy f/f, loyalty, hand kisses, the slow dance of dripping out information in front of those you're not sure you can trust, 1st or 2nd person POV, in-universe documents, conflict between characters with very different backgrounds and how that impacts them.
Smut: Knifeplay, bloodplay, vaginal fisting, sex as ritual, admiring each other's scars, canon-typical magic. Cunnilingus, manual sex.
Art: Tarot card styled portraits, pastels or jewel toned colors, symbolic or abstract designs, unusual environments, armor, jewelry, quiet moments between characters, blood.

Do Not Want

Unrequested Noncon (References to canon events are fine, dubcon is fine-I'd count the pheromone/sex polleny likes mentioned in some sections as dubon. I've also opted into a few specific noncon configurations in the fandom-specific sections below).
Omegaverse, Anal Sex, Soulmates (exception for the canonical Red Prince/Red Princess relationship from Divinity OS: 2), Mundane AUs, Readerfic, Incest, pairings with characters under 16, Covid-19, Non-canon disease outbreaks.

Angel's Egg

Tags Requested: Any (Boy, Girl, Worldbuilding)

Canon-Specific DNWs: Explicit sex

I really love the sense of loneliness and loss running through this movie, as well as the art! Anything focused on fossils and relics of the world left behind, interacting with the shadow beings that run through it, or just the sheer loneliness of being the only two people in such a world. The smallness of their world compared to the ocean that surrounds them.

What does the boy do after the ending of the movie? Does he try to talk to the effigy of the girl, or follow whatever strange creatures the fishermen are chasing? Does the girl still have a sense of the world to wonder at what’s reappeared? What other strange sights or fossils might she have seen before the time period we see in the movie? Have there been other odd machines, or signs of the boy’s travel?

Belladonna of Sadness

Requested Tags: Jeanne, Milady, [gift must include both]

Ships I like: Jeanne/Milady, Jeanne/The Devil

Canon-Specific Likes: Anything relating to plants, herbalism, and related magic. Jeanne's interaction with the villagers. Jeanne choosing to engage with the Devil on her own terms (including sexually), Milady coming to Jeanne for aid with one of her problems, and all the tension inherent in that. Jeanne's horned/sphinx-like look.

Canon-Specific DNWs: Milady/Page, focus on the modern-looking 'hell' scene (mentioning it happened is fine).

Canon-Specific Opt-Ins: Noncon between Jeanne and Milady.

I am deeply fond of this tiny canon with its intriguing watercolor art style and a whole lot of erotic imagery. I'm especially fond of how Jeanne remakes herself through the movie, especially the part where the villagers wind up coming to her for healing and wisdom later on, and I'd love to see something that journey touched on, especially as a contrast to Milady and all the privileges and perils her own position carries.

If you want to include Jeanne/The Devil I’d prefer for any sex included on that account to be more on the dubious side of things-have Jeanne initiate it for some purpose or another rather than it simply being done to her.

Divinity: Original Sin

Requested Tags: Sebille, The Red Prince [Gift must include both]

Ships I like: Sebille/The Red Prince, Sebille/The Red Prince/The Red Princess

Canon-Specific Likes: Xeno (give me your lizard dick headcanons), traditions and rituals around elven cannibalism, all of the tension between people who can't quite bring themselves to trust each other, just what life is like in the Lizard Empire.

Canon-Specific DNWs: Saheila/Sebille, cannibalism during sex (Sebille's tasting memories abilities working off touch/bodily fluids and that coming up during sex is fine, oral sex is fine, just no literal eating of body parts), Sebille becoming the mother tree, harm coming to the Red Princess or her children. References to the canon Red Prince/Red Princess relationship are exempt from my soulmates DNW.

I adore all the personal and cultural issues these two characters have between them, and the journey from mistrustful allies of necessity to actual allies managing the fate of the world (and possibly sleeping with each other). Sebille’s habits of extreme violence and running away from her problems, the way cannibalism works for the elves, and the composure of the Red Prince contrasted with how lonely his life has been. I really love the diverging ways these characters both react to their own fates and how they deal with the ways it doesn't quite match up to their expectations. Either one of them as the Godwoken is welcome, or neither of them if you’d prefer. Re: the Red Princess, I'm cool with poly there or just with not focusing on it.

Ideas:

Working together to find a Swornbreaker weapon before they go to rescue the Red Princess
Helping Sebille with the song to keep her mind her own before the confrontation with the Shadow Prince.
Running into a group of elves (or lizards) who might be able to aid the party and having to reassure them about the choice of allies.
Quiet moments aboard the Lady Vengeance where they dance around all the things they don’t quite want to say.
One of them is badly hurt after the Lady Vengeance crashes. Cue concerned behavior from the other that they pointedly deny is concerned behavior.
Sebille gains some notable memories from eating the corpse of the Shadow Prince about his efforts to oppose them and both of them have to grapple with this new knowledge.
Rough hey we’re alive sex after a tough fight.

Requested Tags: Any (Naryu Virian, Vastarie, Worldbuilding)

Ships I like for this fandom: I'm open for any F/F ships, barring any excluded by my DNWs. OCs are also welcome. Some specific ships include: Naryu Virian/Spider Daedra in Mephala's Service, Leythen/Naryu Virian, Mirri Elendis/Naryu Virian, Winged Twilight in Azura's Service/Vastarie, Seryn/Vastarie, Irrai/Vastarie, Lorelia/Original Female Adventurer, Maxten Favrete/Freiwen.

Canon-Specific Likes: Dunmer, the tension between the Tribunal and Anticipations. All the weird lore. Apotheosis and gods and myth, paralysis magic during sex, canon-typical symbolic tattoos for Dunmer (e.g., Morag Tong and Black Scarab Chest in-game markings), using the canon birthsigns for tarot style-art, the Antiquities system.

Canon-Specific DNWs: Unrequested mentor/student pairings (e.g., Naryu Virian/Veya Releth), Khajiit involved in explicit sex.

Canon-Specific Opt-ins: Lorelia (see prompts) nonconning a female adventurer or nonconning female members of the Rain Disciples, female vampire(s) nonconning a female adventurer, Irrai nonconning Vastarie.

For ESO I am here for a wide variety of things, and have some familiarity with the more obscure and weirder lore. I enjoy Naryu's mixture of loyalty and ruthlessness, and Vastarie's long-held devotion to Azura despite how harsh Azura can be.

For worldbuilding, a non-exhaustive list of things I'm interested includes: Dunmer culture and religion (especially relating to the Anticipations), Bosmer and the Green Pact, Altmer/Maormer conflicts, Nordic traditions of clever men/women, Reach magic and briarhearts, the Khajiiti order of the Hidden Moon, the Dark Brotherhood and Morag Tong, and the Dragonguard.

More Specific Prompts:

Nahfahlaar interacting with the rest of the Dragonguard
Undercover Alfiq adventures
Dreamsleeve and memory antics with Lorelia/The Rain Disciples
Old Mjolen teaching Freiwen magic
Exploring Dunmer Bonewalker traditions in light of Azura's influence on Vastarie (and her lichdom), or with how the order of the Hidden Moon sought to redeem dro-m'Athra.
Experiments with Vampirism end badly.
Internal conflicts within either of the assassin's guilds. Perhaps Mephala's encouraging it?
Exploring things with Mephala's followers during the Daedric War/Summerset Arc

A Rasp of Sand

Requested Tags: Any (Worldbuilding)

Canon-Specific Likes: The terrifying depths of the ocean (or the shelf), all the ritual sacrifice aspects and the preparations heirs might make to meet them, anything exploring more about the human (or non-human) cultures of the setting. Very much my fandom is so small I'll take anything here.

Canon-Specific DNWs: Intentional, unprovoked attacks on chum, hermits, or octopods (things go bad because the heirs don't show the proper deference to say, a chum with a spellpearl is fine, miscommunicate, etc is fine. Just not jumping someone who's not a threat because the heirs want its sand.).

This roguelite combines both an ocean aesthetic and ritual sacrifice. It's just the sort of vibe to tempt me, and I'd love to see anything exploring the world, the challenges facing the heirs, or the eventual impact of their delving on the world around them.

For anyone interested the lore info is all in an ~80 page book available at drivethrurpg.

I'm especially fond of how Jeanne remakes herself through the movie, especially the part where the villagers wind up coming to her for healing and wisdom later on, and I'd love to see something that touched on how Milady might have had to remake herself to survive in her own environment-and how that led to the way she treats those beneath her.

There’s so much potential for both conflict and bonding between these two. This is also the fandom where I have some noncon-themed requests for Jeanne/Milady, as well as dubcon themed ones, so don't worry too much about the lines there.

Maybe Milady comes back and visits Jeanne while she’s in jail, and offers her better treatment in exchange for sexual favors or secret knowledge? Or has to ask Jeanne’s aid after Jeanne escapes, perhaps partly motivated by the old woman's tale of Jeanne's kindness? Anything focused on herbs/ritual magic would be wonderful, and I have a soft spot for Jeanne's horned/Sphinx-like look if you want to bring that in as well.

Requested Tags: Any (Naryu Virian, Mirri Elendis, Vastarie, Worlbduilding)

Ships I like for this fandom: I'm open for any F/F ships, barring any excluded by my DNWs. Mirri Elendis/Original Female Ashlander, Winged Twilight in Azura's Service/Vastarie, Naryu Virian/Spider Daedra in Mephala's Service, Lorelia/Original Female Adventurer, Seryn/Vastarie, Maxten Favrete/Freiwen, Leythen/Naryu Virian

Canon-Specific DNWs: Unrequested mentor/student pairings

Canon-Specific Opt-ins: Lorelia nonconning a female adventurer, female vampire nonconning a female adventurer.

As for the characters nominated it is a pile of some of my favorite mer who have interesting relationships with dunmer society (or with the good daedra in Vastarie's case), and I would adore more canon-typical adventures for any of them or some flirting with characters that provide opportunity for conflict and contrast around those various cultural aspects.

For the worlbuilding tags, I find the similarity between the punishment of undeath the Order of the Hidden Moon uses and such Dunmeri approaches as Bonewalkers fascinating just in terms of designating it as a form of service or redemption, and would love to see more about how other related Dunmer traditions could pull in that particular view of Azura as both cruel and wise. As for the Morag Tong/Dark Brotherhood conflict, I love both the more unseen (at least by the participants) sort of manipulations that we see her inducing in various games, and the idea of the more within-faction situations of encouraged betrayal followed by cleansing (e.g., both the Dark Brotherhood purification in Oblivion and the story of Naryu's Journal in ESO), writ over the the conflict between the two assassin's guilds. Agents from one side being manipulated into unknowingly killing those from the other, restarting feuds, attempted infiltrations gone wrong in all sorts of ways, and generally just a bunch of cruel little threads being woven and cut between them.

Other worldbuilding things I like include the Wilderqueen, Ashlander beliefs in contrast with the more common Dunmer ones, the 'good daedra' and Dunmer society as a whole, nordic traditions about clever men and women, Breton political infighting, and Lorelia's whole thing and how that could tie into the dreamsleeve.

Apparently I like canons with cannibal elves in them. Anyway, I greatly enjoyed the world of this one as well as the characters, and am especially interested in all sorts of world-building aspects related to the elves and lizards. So far as the relationships go, I generally enjoy all the possibilities for mistrust and people choosing to work together anyway, the potential cultural conflicts (or re: Saheila, the way Sebille's time away from other elves has changed her perspective), and all the unpleasant history these characters have, from the Red Prince's loneliness to Sebille's habits of extreme violence and running away from things. Re: the Red Princess, I'm cool with poly there or just with not focusing on it.

So far as more specific ideas go, Sebille tasting one of Malady's secrets and them both having to navigate around that? Sebille taking over the House of Shadows after defeating its prince, or just quiet moments with anyone involving her trying to prepare for that encounter.

Canon-Specific Likes: Dunmer, the tension between the Tribunal and Anticipations. All the weird lore. Apotheosis and gods and myth, paralysis magic during sex, canon-typical symbolic tattoos for Dunmer (e.g., Morag Tong and Black Scarab Chest in-game markings), using the canon birthsigns for tarot style-art.

Canon-Specific DNWs: Naryu Virian/Veya Releth

Canon-Specific Opt-ins: Lorelia nonconning the female adventurer for that pairing.

I am here for anything from quiet ritualish magic moments to Dreamsleeve reports by scholars annoyed at whatever Lorelia is doing to the water supply in the midst of flirting with adventurers, and all sorts of things in between.

For the worlbuilding tags, I find the similarity between the punishment of undeath the Order of the Hidden Moon uses and such Dunmeri approaches as Bonewalkers fascinating just in terms of designating it as a form of service or redemption, and would love to see more about how other related Dunmer traditions could pull in that particular view of Azura as both cruel and wise. As for the Morag Tong/Dark Brotherhood conflict, I love both the more unseen (at least by the participants) sort of manipulations that we see her inducing in various games, and the idea of the more within-faction situations of encouraged betrayal followed by cleansing (e.g., both the Dark Brotherhood purification in Oblivion and the story of Naryu's Journal in ESO), writ over the the conflict between the two assassin's guilds. Agents from one side being manipulated into unknowingly killing those from the other, restarting feuds, attempted infiltrations gone wrong in all sorts of ways, and generally just a bunch of cruel little threads being woven and cut between them.

A lot of my requested ships are focused on daedra-worshippers or, in Naryu's case, the whole Mephala & Vivec anticipations relationship the Morag Tong have going on, and I'd love to see the tensions of those sort of beliefs and powers popping up, different cultural traditions around such things, and so forth. For the Mirri/Ashlander and Seryn/Vastarie pairings I'd especially love to see something touching on the Ashlander beliefs and approaches to religion and Daedra worship. For Lorelia I love the weird lore and memory manipulation going on with her quest in-game, and am very curious about how she might make someone into one of her disciples (or fail to do so). For my Freiwen relationships I, oh, that sense of putting things back together after a tragedy and having them never fit quite right, whether it's a canon divergence with her and Maxten trying to find a new balance together or Old Mjolen trying to help her with the slow process of healing after what we do see in-game. I'd also love some focus on the nord traditions of clever women, and perhaps Freiwen choosing to follow that path herself.

I'm here for so many things with this setting: cities that are alive or maybe dead but not so dead as to keep them from shifting things around, the politics of trying to change things and yet having to make so many sacrifices to the system in the process, both of yourself and others, the tension of deciding just what to sacrifice when all the choices are costly, making a mask of oneself and perhaps getting lost in it, or just the lives of those simply trying to survive, from mask-making artisans to gardeners and vendors dealing with mushrooms grown from the dead.

Tags Requested: Solo: Thon, Solo: Nomi Sunrider, Nomi Sunrider & Vima Sunrider

Additional Mediums: Art - Drawn - Fanart,  Art - Excerpts from a Character's Sketchbook, Art - Propaganda Poster, Art - Tarot Card, Illustrated Text (Art & Writing) - Field Report, Illustrated Text (Art & Writing) - Excerpts from a Journal/Notebook/Sketchbook, Writing - Mission Report

Canon-Specific Likes: Exploring the ways the Jedi Order was different in this time period (relationships, children, etc). Exposure to Falleen or Zeltron pheromones working like sex pollen, Xeno.

Canon-Specific DNWs: Nomi Sunrider/Thon occurring while she's still his apprentice (it'd be most welcome if you wanted to do it after she's gone off and become a knight and had some adventures though).

This is one of my favorite Star Wars eras, and I'll admit to wish we'd gotten to see more references to it later on, especially to Nomi Sunrider. I've always been especially fond of both our first glimpse at Onderon as well as the less restrictive perspective of the Jedi in this time period. I'd love to see something with some of my requested characters dealing with Jedi business on intriguing worlds, perhaps a visit from one of them to Onderon (maybe meeting Galia in the meantime?) to deal with an old relic, research, or something dealing with seeing a wider variety of Jedi philosophy popping up given the era.

Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic
Tags Requested: Acina/Vaylin, Female Outlander/Vaylin, Darth Acina/Darth Zash, Female Sith Inquisitor/Darth Zash, Acina/Female Sith Inquisitor, Solo: Anri

Additional Mediums: Art - Drawn - Fanart,  Art - Excerpts from a Character's Sketchbook, Art - Propaganda Poster, Art - Tarot Card, Illustrated Text (Art & Writing) - Field Report, Illustrated Text (Art & Writing) - Excerpts from a Journal/Notebook/Sketchbook, Writing - Mission Report

Canon-Specific Likes: Focus on the Empire or Alliance, Sith politics, non-human PCs. Exposure to Falleen or Zeltron pheromones working like sex pollen. Aliens using humans as furniture in a reversal of the usual Imperial power structure.

Canon-Specific DNWs: Zash in Khem Val's Body

Canon-Specific Opt-ins: Zash nonconning the inquisitor, Vaylin nonconning the other party in either of her pairings.

Enemies (or reluctant allies) with benefits? Thinly veiled antagonism at fancy parties, weird sith alchemy and magic, changing use of names and titles to indicate closeness. Sith sparring together. Vaylin punishing her enemies or just surviving and coming to a new understanding with them, exploring more of Anri's history and just how she came to achieve her new rank despite so much of the Empire being stacked against her.

Yuletide Letter 2020

2020-10-25T22:20:03Z

Hello there author, and thank you for writing for me! I’m Kartaylir on Ao3 as well and am very excited to see what you come up with. Don’t feel as if you have to follow my prompts for any of these, they’re simply there to serve as inspiration as to what aspects I especially like about these canons. All of the information here except for the art likes is included in my signups as well, it’s just repeated here to make it easier to keep track of.

Fandoms requested:
天使のたまご | Tenshi no Tamago | Angel's Egg (Anime)
哀しみのベラドンナ | Kanashimi no Belladonna | Belladonna of Sadness
Divinity: Original Sin
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Elder Scrolls Online

Likes:
General Likes: Canon Divergence, Worldbuilding, relationships between people who won't give up everything for the other but work things out anyway. Any POV, in-universe documents, apotheosis and myth. Religious and cultural points of conflict and misunderstanding. Physical hurt followed by comfort where the comforter mostly denies that’s what they’re actually doing. The slow dance of dripping out information in front of people you’re not sure you can trust.

Smut/Ship Likes:
• Cunnilingus, manual sex, vaginal fisting, asynchronous orgasms
• Knifeplay, bloodplay, sex in the blood of their enemies, admiring each other's scars,
• canon-typical magic, Sex as ritual.
• Physical gestures and touch to communicate preferences rather than words.
• Casual femdom, Kneeling and hand kisses.
• F/F with some level of antagonism, whether philosophical or physical.

Art Likes: Tarot card styled portraits, pastels or jewel toned colors, symbolic or abstract designs, unusual environments, armor, quiet moments between characters, blood.

Do Not Wants:
General DNWS:
1. A/B/O, Mpreg, Any form of anal sex, Scat, Incest, sex involving characters under age 16.
2. Covid-19, non-canon disease outbreaks.
3. Readerfic
4. Unrequested Alternate Universes (Exception: Canon Divergence is always welcome and requested): Defining canon divergence as characters can take different actions, make different choices, get more beat up in that shipwreck and so forth, but the rules of the universe itself won’t change. So X and Y having a different first meeting is welcome, but I wouldn’t consider adding aspects like A/B/O to the universe to qualify as canon divergence.
5. Explicit cheating (Exception: Belladonna of Sadness): I’m perfectly happy to presume open relationships/poly as a norm for all of my fandoms save the one listed as an exception, so just don’t contradict that by saying that actually they’re cheating on x or y. For Belladonna of Sadness this isn’t as applicable but I’d prefer the fic not focus on the concept of any requested relationship qualifying as cheating if you include one.
6. Unrequested onscreen noncon: references to canon events are fine so long as the events themselves remain off-screen. My noncon requests are for Belladonna of Sadness though I’ve some dubcon-themed requests in other fandoms.
7. Death of Requested Characters (except where specified otherwise): the canon deaths of Jeanne (Belladonna of Sadness) and the Girl (Angel’s Egg) are fine.

Fandom Specific DNWS
Divinity: Original Sin
• Physical harm to the Red Princess or her children
• Sebille becoming the next mother tree
• Sebille biting anyone in a sexual context (kissing, commenting on the taste or sensation of skin/scales is fine, just no actual biting).
• Sebille/Saheila
Elder Scrolls Online: Naryu Virian/Veya Releth as a romantic or sexual pairing
Belladonna of Sadness:
• Milady/Page as a romantic or sexual pairing.
• Focus on the modern looking ‘hell’ scene (referring to it is fine, but don’t set the story in that environment itself).

Divinity Original Sin
Characters Requested: Sebille, The Red Prince

I adore all the personal and cultural issues these two characters have between them, and the journey from mistrustful allies of necessity to actual allies managing the fate of the world (and possibly sleeping with each other). Sebille’s habits of extreme violence and running away from her problems, the way cannibalism works for the elves, and the composure of the Red Prince contrasted with how lonely his life has been. I really love the diverging ways these characters both react to their own fates and how they deal with the ways it doesn't quite match up to their expectations. Either one of them as the Godwoken is welcome, or neither of them if you’d prefer.

Ships I like: Sebille/The Red Prince, Sebille/The Red Princess/The Red Princess
DNWS Specific to this fandom
• Physical harm to the Red Princess or her children
• Sebille becoming the next mother tree
• Sebille biting anyone in a sexual context (kissing, commenting on the taste or sensation of skin/scales is fine, just no actual biting).
• Sebille/Saheila as a romantic or sexual pairing

Ideas:
• Working together to find a Swornbreaker weapon before they go to rescue the Red Princess
• Helping Sebille with the song to keep her mind her own before the confrontation with the Shadow Prince.
• Running into a group of elves (or lizards) who might be able to aid the party and having to reassure them about the choice of allies.
• Quiet moments aboard the Lady Vengeance where they dance around all the things they don’t quite want to say.
• One of them is badly hurt after the Lady Vengeance crashes. Cue concerned behavior from the other that they pointedly deny is concerned behavior.
• Sebille gains some notable memories from eating the corpse of the Shadow Prince about his efforts to oppose them and both of them have to grapple with this new knowledge.
• Rough hey we’re alive sex after a tough fight. I’d love to hear your lizard dick headcanons in such a case!
• The Red Prince proudly showing off the baby dragons and Sebille being uncertain of what to make of them.

Elder Scrolls Online:
Characters Requested: Any in tagset (Naryu Virian, Vastarie, Old Mjolen, Nahflaar)

Specific likes for this fandom: the tension between the Tribunal and Anticipations in Dunmeri religion. All the weird lore. Apotheosis and gods and myth. I also love the Khajiiti take on Azura we see with Elsweyr, especially when it comes to Vastarie. Relationship involving some level of religious tension, whether from a traditional Altmer point of view, Dunmer and their history with the 'good' daedra, etc. For canon-typical magic during sex I’m especially fond of consensual use of paralysis spells.

Ships I like for this fandom: Ships I like: I'm open for any F/F ships with Vastarie or Naryu, barring any excluded by my DNWs. I’d also be happy to see either of them shipped with Leythen from the Summerset Storyline. Also Naryu/Spider Daedra, Vastarie/Winged Twilight.

Friendships: Naryu & Veya Releth, Naryu & Ashur, Naryu & Razum-dar, Vastarie & (or /) Seryn. Old Mjolen & Freiwen, Old Mjolen & Fennorian, and Nahfahlaar & Sai Sahan

DNWS specific to this fandom: Naryu Virian/Veya Releth as a romantic or sexual pairing

Naryu Virian: I love her particular combination of dedication without blindly accepting whatever she’s told. I’m eternally interested in the Morag Tong’s relationship with Mephala and how that could intersect with Naryu, especially considered the sex and secrets part, or perhaps something relating to theSummerset storyline given their involvement there. I’d also love to hear more about Naryu’s various adventures in Nirn, whether she’s out dealing with a writ or helping out a friend. On a more casual note I’d also love for just her getting to have some downtime and get laid by various women.

Vastarie: The Azura-following necromancer aspect of her character especially grabbed me. I'd love to see her interact with other followers of Azura on that account, from the Ashlanders to the Khajiit. I loved what we saw of their beliefs on that account in Elsweyr. Or her dealing with more traditionalist Altmer and all the conflicts there.

Old Mjolen: I’m especially interested in more traditional nord beliefs especially with the clever magic-I’d love to see her teaching someone else (maybe Freiwen or Fennorian) about them, recording them, or just helping with more mundane problems as well as the larger sorts of issues she helps with during the Greymoor storyline.

Nahflaar: I adore the dynamic of a dragon showing up and siding against the others of his kind, and would love to see more of what led him up to that decision, or what he gets up to afterward. Maybe he stops by Skyrim to check on the sleeping dragons there and runs into the Greymoor events? Or something about his interactions with Sai Sahan.

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Characters Requested: Mehra Milo, Nibani Maesa
Ships I Like: Mehra Milo/Ilmeni Dren, any F/F ship not excluded by my DNWS.

Some of my particular favorite details for this fandom include the tension between the Tribunal and Anticipations in Dunmeri religion, all the weird lore (I have some familiarity with the Obscure Texts so feel free to reference those if you'd like. And the unusual landscape of Morrowind, from Red Mountain looming to all the mushrooms and unique creatures there.

For these two, perhaps some sort of outreach from the former dissident priests to learn more about the Ashlander perspective on the Nerevarine after the main plot goes down, whether via letters or a more personal visit. Or Mehra ends up at the Urshilaku Camp after some incident traveling, and has to navigate her way through the social context with Nibani’s help, much as the Nerevarine once did. I’d also be interested in seeing them both involved with negotiations involving the Great Houses, or other factions within Vvardenfell. Perhaps something with Aryon or Ilmeni Dren along those lines if you'd like to include them.

Angel's Egg
Characters Requested: Any (Boy, Girl)

I really love the sense of loneliness and loss running through this movie, as well as the art! Anything focused on fossils and relics of the world left behind, interacting with the shadow beings that run through it, or just the sheer loneliness of being the only two people in such a world. The smallness of their world compared to the ocean that surrounds them.

What does the boy do after the ending of the movie? Does he try to talk to the effigy of the girl, or follow whatever strange creatures the fishermen are chasing? Does the girl still have a sense of the world to wonder at what’s reappeared? What other strange sights or fossils might she have seen before the time period we see in the movie? Have there been other odd machines, or signs of the boy’s travel?

Belladonna of Sadness

Characters Requested: Jeanne, Milady
Ships I like: Jeanne/Milady, Jeanne/The Devil

I'm especially fond of how Jeanne remakes herself through the movie, especially the part where the villagers wind up coming to her for healing and wisdom later on, and I'd love to see something that touched on how Milady might have had to remake herself to survive in her own environment-and how that led to the way she treats those beneath her.

There’s so much potential for both conflict and bonding between these two. This is also the fandom where I have some noncon-themed requests for Jeanne/Milady, as well as dubcon themed ones, so don't worry too much about the lines there.

Maybe Milady comes back and visits Jeanne while she’s in jail, and offers her better treatment in exchange for sexual favors or secret knowledge? Or has to ask Jeanne’s aid after Jeanne escapes, perhaps partly motivated by the old woman's tale of Jeanne's kindness? Anything focused on herbs/ritual magic would be wonderful, and I have a soft spot for Jeanne's horned/Sphinx-like look if you want to bring that in as well.

If you want to include Jeanne/The Devil I’d prefer for any sex included on that account to be more on the dubious side of things-have Jeanne initiate it for some purpose or another rather than it simply being done to her.

Specific DNWs for this fandom:
• Milady/Page as a romantic or sexual pairing.
• Focus on the modern looking ‘hell’ scene (referring to it is fine, but don’t set the story in that environment itself).
