Femslash Exchange 2020
Dear recipient! So sorry for getting this letter up a couple of days after assignments went out! If you've already started working on your gift then feel free to disregard anything I say here - as long as you don't hit any of my DNWs you're golden. But if you're still figuring out what to do and wants more concrete prompts to go off, here they are, if late.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.
As a note: I tend to re-use parts of old letters because I'm lazy, which means some prompts may be copied from past exchanges. That doesn't mean I'm less invested in them, or that I want the others more, just that my tastes don't change much from month to month and I always want more of a good thing.
I'm fine with any rating, and I like curtain fic as much as plotty, involved stories. I'll happily read fic in third, second and first person. If you have an interesting idea for the format I'm interested to see what you come up with - one of my favorite things about fic is how well it lends itself to literary experimentation, so knock yourself out. Fic in the form of in-universe documents and fictional retellings of events that are "real" in canon is always exciting.
With art, too, any rating is fine, as long as you respect my DNWs. I generally enjoy style experimentation with visual mediums as well, and don't mind tweaks to existing character designs. I always, always love seeing characters who in canon are in their 20s and 30s and 40s imagined in their older years, so consider that an art prompt that applies to every single request.
Likes:
- I'm extremely fond of schmoopy tropes like friends to lovers and requited pining, and dramatic and emotional declarations of love will get me every time. The "oh no! the person I've been telling myself I don't love is in peril and I must desperately scramble to save them and also this makes me realize I can't live without them!" plot is a guaranteed success with me.
- I'm also extremely fond of the opposite of the above, of people going from lovers to enemies, of resentment and rivalry contorting feelings of love and loyalty and of people knowing that being involved with a person is bad and is bound to bring disaster, but being unable to stop themselves from giving in to temptation.
- Non-sexual intimacy, hand-holding and hugs and kisses and grooming and sensual touch.
- Competent people being very, very good at what they do and getting ample opportunity to show it off and be admired for it.
- Body diversity, both in writing and in art.
- When it comes to porn I like D/s, fingering, loyalty kink, possessiveness, praise kink, size difference, hairpulling, painplay and restraints.
Do Not Wants:
- Non-con. Characters pushing their own boundaries with sex, making bad decisions and feeling resentment, regret and discomfort during or after the act, certainly, but I don't want anyone to be forced or persuaded to do anything.
- Un-requested AUs, including major changes to canon events.
- Body fluids, saliva in particular.
- Descriptions/depictions of bleeding cuts, scrapes and incisions. Weirdly enough, I'm perfectly fine with gore and larger, more serious external injuries.
- A/B/O.
- When it comes to porn I'm not a fan of scat, watersports, bloodplay, orgasm denial and ageplay.
Critical Role
As a note, even though I ship Jester the most with women I still really like Fjord/Jester and am enjoying the way it's going in canon. I'm totally fine with you not including it, or writing a fic as though he and Jester aren't ever getting together, but I personally really like the idea of her dating Fjord, and also having a girlfriend or two. Whatever you go with, I'm good as long as no character bashing goes down.
Beauregard Lionett/Yasha
After the past few episodes, I'm on fire. Everything is incredible, they're both amazing, and I'm so thrilled that it looks like these two incredible, kinda butchy women are going to actually get together. Yasha's history is really interesting to me, and I have a lot of heartfelt emotions about it, but I would prefer fic or art that focuses more on her and Beau in the present - you don't need to write around Zuala's existence, it's more about it being the focus. Not that I think Yasha as a widow is bad or upsetting from a narrative standpoint, I'd just prefer something not centered on grief right now.
-Since we're in kind of a will they won't they place right now, I'd love some missing scenes of more awkward flirting, in case writing fic about them getting together or as an actual couple feels daunting! The fish market scene about killed me, and the maiden flight was the final blow, so more stuff in that vein would be incredible.
-Listen it's a sexy ship, so I would not say no to some sexy stuff. I'd be happy to get porn for any of the requested ships, but especially for these two.
-Since I love plot, something about Yasha accompanying Beau on a mission for the Cobalt Soul, something meant to be no biggie but turns out really bad, perhaps? Whether this is set with them as an established couple, or in the process of getting together doesn't matter, I'd just be so interested to explore how they work on their own. And I love dramatics, so flying rescues and perilous kisses and pretending to be married and all of that good tropey stuff lands with me!
ART PROMPTS: I don't care if it's unoriginal to request art of Yasha flying with Beau in her arms, because I can't get enough! Also, battle girlfriends, maybe comparing scars? In places you have to take your clothes off to see? I'm equally into really soft, sweet stuff - cuddles, happy kisses, blushy flirting - as I am art that leans into the fact that these are two incredibly tough, incredibly jacked, pretty rough around the edges women. So if you want to give me something bruised and battered and bloodily intense, I'm here for that, too.
Jester Lavorre/Beauregard Lionett
Much as I love Beau/Yasha, I will always have a place in my heart for Beau/Jester. I absolutely adore their dynamic together, I cant get enough of their obvious affection for one another, and all the moments through the series where they've supported each other are so precious and wonderful. And, they're wildly hilarious together, too.
-Chaos Crew!! Give me some antics! Jester can get up to some truly wild shit, and I'd love something where they end up on a romp together, getting into shenanigans, the weirder the better.
-Some hurt comfort would be incredible. Whether this is Jester tending to Beau's wounds after a particularly dangerous battle, or Beau ending up in a position where she has to take care of Jester after she's spent all her spell slots on damage spells. I would also be extremely into something getting more into Beau's old hurts, and the way Jester can soothe them.
-If you want to make this a little angsty, I honestly wouldn't mind. I have a bit of a thing for stories about romances that never were, so something focused on Beau's pining, on being in a place where you know your love isn't ever going to happen would scratch an itch of mine. Or, more deliciously, Jester realizing she does have some feelings for Beau, but not until Beau has moved on to pursuing Yasha. Or just mutual unresolved pining - make me wistful, basically.
ART PROMPTS: Man, I love both of their designs so much you could just stand them next to each other and I'd be delighted. But: bed sharing (you know Beau is the little spoon!!), Jester carrying a wounded Beau in her strong arms, Jester drawing on Beau's arms (or abs) while she's studying, cute and/or steamy makeouts, Jester helping Beau shave her undercut.... Just them together, being the best.
Jester Lavorre/Beauregard Lionett/Yasha
I hope it's not cheating to basically say: feel free to use any promts for the two ships above and just include the third!
The OT3 is great, and I'm into it whether or not they're all dating each other or it's Beau with two girlfriends. You really can't go wrong with this for me, but if I'm going to say something concrete, maybe some Xhorhouse domesticity? Art of them chilling in the hottub, no feet apart cause they're extremely gay? Or, if you're plot oriented, give me the story of how they get together, all three of them?
Dairon/Beauregard Lionett
Dairon is my favorite NPC, no real competition, and their relationship with Beau is endlessly fascinating, I can't get enough. I find their tension delicious, and the caring that breaks through despite it all endlessly endearing.
-I'd love to see some playing with the power dynamic here - Beau is no pushover, but she's definitely a bottom, and if you'd like to give me something that emphasizes the thrill of doing something that is, if not forbidden so at least definitely not advised. Dairon was a mentor figure, and the ethics are kind of murky - I like this consensual, but the two of them not being able to resist and breaking the rules to have stealthy, intense sex in the archive, like, listen. Yes.
-I'm super into more romantic stuff, too, especially set after Beau becomes expositor and they're on more equal ground. Maybe they end up doing some sort of mission together, or something? Or happen to both be in Zadash for an extended period of time? And now have to adjust to this new dynamic, that opens a lot of new possibilities? I'd love to see Dairon on a date. How would that go, please tell me.
-For this ship, too, I'd love missing scenes. Just, more stuff with Dairon in Xhorhas, maybe, with impulsive kisses and meaningful looks and stuff. Maybe hurt comfort? Dairon coming by badly hurt and Beau taking care of them in secret, knowing they wouldn't want the rest of the Nein to see? And maybe it gets sexy??? I don't know, you tell me.
ART PROMPTS: Sparring leads to makeouts that are a little angry and really full of pent up desire!!! Or the two of them in their expositor uniforms, maybe being on one of those dates I'd love to see? Or an illustrated moment from the show, I love all of their talks in the Xhorhouse so much. Or, honestly, the two of them having sex on a pile of books. Just a big pile. I'm genuinely into that.
Dimension 20
Lilith/Efink Murderdeath
[I didn't notice until now that I had managed to post my letter without this section! I'm terribly sorry, again. If we got matched on this I'm terribly embarrassed, and if you come back here and see this, please know it wasn't on purpose]
I'm so enamored by all of the Vile Villains, so if you want to make this something of an ensemble piece, or have one or more of the others in the group make an appearance, I'd be into it! But it's in no way a must.
-Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, and I would love to read some slow burn, if you want to give it to me. They've known each other a long time, and even if Efink is bound to the fountain of blood now, that doesn't mean her and Lilith can't still spend a lot of time together, Lilith trying and failing to meet someone to date, and slowly realizing that what she's looking for might have been right there all along...
-I'd be just as excited for something short and sweet, however! Like, how did their first kiss go? How much do the spider kids love their new mom? I'd be over the moon for some family time, with Lilith and Efink and all of the kiddos, celebrating a birthday or sharing some dinner, or whatever you can think of.
-Also, if you want to get a little wild and write me something on the spicier side, I'm here for it. I have a soft spot for humorous porn, so feel free to lean into the awkward logistics if you want. Also, I'm not a hundred percent sure how Efink's immortality works now, but maybe that helps with Lilith's tendency to accidentally eat her sexual partners? (I should be clear here that I'm really not into anyone being eaten at the end.)
ART PROMPTS: I feel like it would be sort of mean to request art that includes Lilith's whole family because it would mean drawing so many spiders, but I'll just throw it out there that a family portrait, painted by the blood fountain, would be a real treat. Also, just some good old kissing, or romantic candle lit dinners (by the blood fountain, I'd have to assume) or any sort of sweet, romantic moment.
Wayfarers Series
Rosemary Harper/Sissix Seshkethet
I love them! I love me some good interspecies f/f, and Sissix is just so appealing, both her personality and her looks. Her and Rosemary are both lovely characters, and I adore their dynamic. All my requests here are for light and fluffy things, because my thoughts and feelings on them are all light and fluffy. Some prompts:
- Would love some straight up porn, if I'm honest. Some giggly, happy, exploratory smut, where they delight in discovering each other and the differences between their bodies. I list some kinks in my general likes above, and if you want to write any of them with these two, that would be amazing, especially in the context of some really sweet, happy, communicative porn.
- We never really get to see them in private after they start sleeping with each other, and I want it so bad. Give me morning afters! The cuddles! The casual hanging out! Binging vid series together, or makeout sessions that never get to sex, just really sexy intimacy. What do they talk about when it's just the two of them? What do they like to do together on the Wayfarer when no one is watching and they're not getting naked?
- DATES! The two of them go out on one of the Wayfarer's stops on the way to Hedra Ka, and sneak themselves some time to go on a good old date. How does that go? Is it a mutual idea, or does one treat the other? Bonus if they're in some place that's little more than a space reststop and they do the best of the situation and have a wonderful time anyway.
ART PROMPTS: I essentially want to see the same things I requested for fic. Cuddling, dates, laughing together, talking together, holding hands, all that jazz. Sizzix lifting her smaller human girlfriend in her beautiful scaly arms. Man oh man.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.
As a note: I tend to re-use parts of old letters because I'm lazy, which means some prompts may be copied from past exchanges. That doesn't mean I'm less invested in them, or that I want the others more, just that my tastes don't change much from month to month and I always want more of a good thing.
