I hope there’s something in here that sparks your imagination! I’m okay with everything from platonic friendship/fluff to PWP - whatever you’re best at or speaks to you the most. I’d rather have something that you found enjoyable and fun to create than be overly restrictive with my preferences.

Non-canonical major character deaths

1. Mordin Solus/Aria T'Loak, Kirrahe/Mordin Solus

For both of these: I am okay with either a mostly asexual Mordin, where the relationship is more about feelings than physical intimacy; and a sexual one where Mordin seeks to please his partner. I really like the idea of him using his omni-tool to get his partner off, if that's something you feel inclined to run with.

Mordin/Aria: There's a lot more between Mordin and Aria than is shown on screen. I'd love to see how Aria dealt with Mordin coming to Omega in the first place, and maybe some exploration of Mordin's motives. I'm also just here for how they interact with each other, how Aria bends enough to let Mordin close to her. Maybe they only realize what they meant to each other after Mordin leaves with Shepard, and then comes back later?

Kirrahe/Mordin: Working together during their STG days – butting heads and then eventually coming to respect each other. Maybe they keep in touch afterwards, steal moments together whenever they can. A reunion during ME3, after Sur’Kesh – maybe Kirrahe comes on the Normandy for a time and sees Mordin there. They bury whatever hatchets lay between them because the Reapers make everything uncertain. Maybe that’s their first time together? Mordin lives or dies during ME3, your choice.

2. Karin Chakwas/Mordin Solus, Karin Chakwas/Adrien Victus

Chakwas/Mordin: I am okay with either a mostly asexual Mordin, where the relationship is more about feelings than physical intimacy; and a sexual one where Mordin seeks to please his partner. I really like the idea of him using his omni-tool to get Chakwas off, if that's something you feel inclined to run with. Both of them are doctors who've been in the military (-ish, for STG, but it's close enough) and have a lot of interesting stories to tell. Maybe Mordin seeks to ease some of the burden Chakwas is under; maybe he helps with the crew after the Collector base mission -- or maybe she helps him with the genophage work in ME3.

Chakwas/Victus: Victus goes through a whole lot while he’s on the Normandy, which overlaps with Chakwas being kicked out of the infirmary for Mordin’s work. When they start talking, what happens after that? Does Chakwas comfort him after his son’s death?

3. Greg Adams/Karin Chakwas, Karin Chakwas/Zaeed Massani

Chakwas/Zaeed: Zaeed respects Chakwas for not treating him with kid gloves. Chakwas find herself charmed despite his coarse manners. Yeah, it might be a bit of a cliche, but opposites attract and it leads to something pretty hot -- and maybe sweet, too. (In other words, I'll really take just about anything here :D)

4. Karin Chakwas/Septimus Oraka, Harry Carlyle/Karin Chakwas

Chakwas/Oraka: Oraka’s a good guy after he gets over being a jerk about Sha’ira. Maybe they meet up somewhere while Chakwas is working on the Citadel between 2 and 3, or maybe one of Shepard’s adventures brings them together. I’m all for it starting out as a casual hookup before they catch feelings.

Harry/Chakwas: Did they know one another professionally before Harry left for Andromeda? Was there always some kind of spark that they never acted on until the last minute? Maybe Chakwas sends him message throughout 3 that arrive in a delayed manner, like the messages from Liara to Alec. For this one, I’d really prefer it if there’s no storyline where Chakwas also goes to Andromeda because I cannot see her abandoning Shepard & the Normandy; they are totally her family. Harry staying behind, on the other hand...

5. Nyreen Kandros/Aria T’Loak, Miranda Lawson/Female Shepard

Nyreen/Aria: Another case of “anything”! How they got together, and how they broke up (all the angst, delicious angst). Aria’s reaction to Nyreen’s death. Or Nyreen lives and they finally get back together for good. Some possessive!Aria would be great in that scenario. Perfectly ok to address Nyreen’s fears of being swallowed up by Aria, as long as it doesn’t actually happen.

F!Shep/Miranda: Miranda was ‘engineered’ to be perfect, and then rebuilt Shepard to be ‘perfect’. I’d love to see something where they wrestle with the expectations that have been put on both of them, with Miranda realizing that Shepard sees her as a person; and Shepard realizing that Miranda’s maybe not as perfect as she projects (and accepting where that insecurity comes from). Really, anything sweet and/or sexy with them is welcome!

6. Kal’Reegar/Tali’Zorah nar Rayya, Greg Adams/Tali’Zorah nar Rayya

Kal/Tali: All the romantic fluff! The mission on Haestrom and how it went badly -- maybe something from Kal’s POV where he realizes he’s falling for her. A private reunion on the Rayya during Tali’s trial, where he confesses his feelings and she reciprocates (or maybe she confesses first? Either way is good!). Kal lives after ME3 and they become respected leaders on Rannoch. Geth babysitting their kids?? Another instance where I’ll take almost anything!

Adams/Tali: They bond over engineering shenanigans in ME1, and then get to team up again in ME3 after Tali has undergone all that personal growth.

7. Nakmor Drack/Urdnot Wrex, Suvi Anwar/Samantha Traynor

Suvi/Sam: Nerdy analytic communications lesbians unite! Maybe they moved in the same circles before Suvi left for Andromeda -- maybe they were long-distance buddies and finally met up for a wild night right before departure. Suvi learns about Sam’s exploits via the message in a bottle type things we see from Liara and Castis Vakarian.

8. Nakmor Drack/Lexi T'Perro, Peebee/Female Ryder

Drack/Lexi: Drack decides he doesn’t mind the hot asari doctor flirting with him, and eventually taking him to bed. He’s learned to take his pleasures where he can, after all. I’d love to see something that starts as casual and becomes more serious eventually. Kesh is thrilled to turn the tables on Drack, after his reaction to Vorn, and teases him mercilessly. Drack having to deal with Kesh’s kids and his own asari offspring at the same time.

Peebee/F!Ryder: My first Andromeda romance, and I still love Peebee to death. My Ryder was equal parts exasperated and intrigued by Peebee when they first met and it went from there. They’re both nerds, even if Peebee’s a bit more consistently enthusiastic about it. Just let Peebee be her outgoing, enthusiastic, somewhat dorky self and I'm good. If you're feeling adventurous, they could try to use some of Peebee's Remnant research to spice things up in the bedroom.

9. Jaal Ama Darav/Peebee/Female Ryder, Jaal Ama Darav/Liam Kosta/Female Ryder

So many great ways this could go! Duo to triad (either duo to start with), or Jaal and (Peebee or Liam) have been rivals for FemRyder’s attention and decide they’re okay with sharing. I’d especially love Peebee continuing to tease Jaal about possibly being able to mate with him. Shameless three-way smut, or Jaal bringing both of them home to his mothers.

10. Jaal Ama Darav/Avela Kjar, Kallo Jath/Zevin Raeka

Kallo/Raeka: I’m a sucker for arranged marriage tropes, so what if the Jath and Raeka families somehow decide that these two need to pair up? Raeka being a bit put out that her family expects her to start producing eggs when there’s so much work to do. Kallo having a strong attachment to the human Pathfinder and not wanting to shirk his duties. And then the two of them overcoming their doubts and finding some kind of happiness with one another…

Avela/Jaal: Another "arranged marriage special"! You get to hear gossip on Aya about Jaal’s relationship status (mainly, the lack thereof). Maybe there’s arranged marriage traditions among angara, and Jaal is fed up with his mothers’ attempts to set him up with a “nice young woman” so he chooses Avela instead, because she’s attached to her work and is also feeling the pressure of being matched up. Nice, uncomplicated, no feelings … until feelings start to creep in.

Or the more straightforward approach: Jaal gets to know Avela because of Ryder’s visits to the Repository of History, and (once again) feelings ensue.

I hope there’s something in here that sparks your imagination! I love reading everything from platonic friendship/fluff to PWP - whatever you’re best at or speaks to you the most. I’d rather have something that you found enjoyable and fun to create than be overly restrictive with my preferences.

Non-canonical major character deaths

1. All The Sten

Female Adaar/Sten

Arishok Sten shows up at Skyhold after Iron Bull’s loyalty quest (it can go either way). Adaar greets him cordially, but stiffly, because she is no fan of the Qun. She refuses to budge even an ounce on her convictions. It isn’t until Varric tells her about his time traveling with Sten and Alistair (see: the comics) that she unbends enough to give him a fair shake. Adaar eventually opens up to him and discovers they actually have a lot in common. Sten, meanwhile, is still struggling with the fact that, as the Arishok, he’s supposed to embody the principles of the antaam – but his experiences in Thedas mean that he’s far more tolerant of differing views than pretty much everyone else in the Qun. He’s been falling for Adaar the whole time he’s been at Skyhold, and it all comes together one night. What happens after that? Is it only while Sten is at Skyhold, or does it somehow continue?

Female Brosca/Sten, Sten/Female Tabris

I'm also open to having the Warden be Surana!
She comes from an extremely disadvantaged background and has seen the worst of what Ferelden has to offer. Maybe that makes the Qun attractive; maybe it makes her appreciate their position as a Warden all the more and not want to follow Sten when he leaves. How does the Warden break down Sten’s walls to reveal the softie underneath, and what does Sten think about this infuriating woman who breaks all his preconceived notions about the world? (Okay, I gave you a bit of a hint there, but I'm still open to other ideas!) I'm ok with either a bittersweet parting at the end of Origins (possibly with the Warden’s death, an exception to my usual no major deaths preference) or one of them making a sacrifice to stay with the other.

2. Absolution And Other Dangerous Ladies

Hira/Miriam

Such an angsty pair! Break my heart -- show me what it was like when Hira left Miriam; or have something during the series when Hira's still planning to betray everyone; or post-canon when Miriam chases down Hira. You can also give me the good times with them; before Hira leaves for the Inquisition, or maybe Hira changes her mind and they do get their happily ever after.

Miriam/Qwydion

I love Qwydion with all my heart and Miriam is pretty amazing too. LET THEM BE HAPPY TOGETHER. Show me Miriam starting to get over Hira and realize what's in front of her; show me Qwydion getting super flustered when she realizes she's got a crush. Cuteness, battle couple, or some creative sexytimes -- I'd love any of that!

Briala/Female Tabris

Two dangerous alienage elf ladies. How do they meet? What brings them together? What havoc do they wreak on the shems?

3. The Others From Absolution

Lacklon/Roland

I loved EVERY bit of these two, every moment of Roland shamelessly flirting and Lacklon acting all disgruntled while actually being won over. Just give me more. Give me their first real time together; give me sparring as foreplay.

Lacklon/Miriam/Qwydion/Roland

The more the merrier! The four of them went through a lot and came out fire-forged companions. Combine the individual prompts with them figuring out how they all work together, or just jump straight to the four of them together. My only note here is that I don't see any sexual attraction between Miriam and Roland, they seem to be more platonic partners; but that's not a DNW and I'm genuinely up for whatever configuration you want to explore.

Rezaren Ammosine/Tassia

Tassia knows Rezaren is a bad idea, clearly; just as clearly, she's not willing to leave him. They seem so deliciously complicated and wrong and I want to see more of that. Does Rezaren actually care for her or is he manipulating her too?

4. Kirkwall Moresomes

Fenris/Donnic Hendyr/Isabela/Aveline Vallen

I am also open to the version without Isabela.
Donnic and Fenris strike up a friendship that starts to develop into more. Who notices it first? How does Aveline feel about her husband being attracted to Hawke’s broody elf friend, and how long does she let it go on before she tells Donnic to just go kiss Fenris already? Does Fenris grow closer to Aveline as a result? Similarly, Isabela and Aveline have something that could easily become sexual chemistry. Is Donnic or Fenris the one to make a move? How about Fenris/Isabela making overtures to Donnic/Aveline? Look, I’ll take any combination of this foursome, up to and including everyone in the same bed, but everyone has to be on board with what happens. Some healthy communication and poly negotiation would be fun.

Female Hawke/Isabela/Merrill

I see these three as being an organic poly relationship rather than a 2+1, if that makes sense. Hawke flirts with them both and refuses to choose, and they’re on board with that. It’d be great to see Merrill getting involved with the Qunari tangle at the end of Act 2 as well as Hawke.

Fenris/Female Hawke/Isabela

Since Fenris and Isabela get together if Hawke romances neither, there’s obviously some chemistry between them. Is this a pair inviting in a third situation, or one where it becomes obvious that all three are attracted to each other? Similarly to F!Hawke/Isabela/Merrill, it’d be interesting to see how Fenris deals with the Arishok since he seems to have some knowledge of the Qunari.

5. Origins/Awakening Darlings

Herren/Wade

Herren and Wade are such an old married couple, I love them so much. I'd be interested to see how they manage the chaos of Denerim and later Amaranthine, Herren trying to keep Wade aware of the circumstances that AREN'T strictly related to the crafting of armor and weapons.

Nathaniel Howe/Velanna

(You can also throw Sigrun in here.)
I would love to see Nathaniel and Velanna get the full relationship treatment. They definitely seem like they’re edging towards mutual respect and even a little admiration. How does Nathaniel help Velanna with her sister’s fate? What does Velanna think of Nathaniel’s sister? Do they stay at Amaranthine after Awakening, or go somewhere else?

Ser Cauthrien/Anora Mac Tir

Cauthrien is immensely devoted to Anora in all senses. How long does it take Anora to notice and act on it, or is it Cauthrien that act first? I'd love to see a spicy d/s take on this relationship too, with Cauthrien as a very eager sub.

6. Skyhold Shenanigans

Leliana/Morrigan

Leliana and Morrigan didn’t get along at all during Origins, but they find themselves moving in similar circles by the time Inquisition comes around. They’ve both matured and changed and find their old bickering doesn’t matter anymore. Leliana gives the Inquisitor a positive review of Morrigan instead of a negative one, and respect turns into something more.

Esmeral Abernache/Movran the Under

Movran the Under may be my favorite random side character because he throws a goat at Skyhold’s walls. How can you not love a guy who does that? Anyway, if the Templars are saved, you have the option to pair him with Esmeral Abernache and they develop a grudging mutual respect and basically play Good Cop/Bad Cop with Tevinter. Run with this. PLEASE. There are some gems from their respective missives back to the Inquisition that I would love to see you use as inspiration.

Female Adaar/Movran the Under

Maybe they hook up after Movran is "pardoned" but before he departs Skyhold; perhaps it's another Avvar custom to offer oneself to the person who spared your life? Or Movran just thinks the Inquisitor is attractive and decides to act on it. Perhaps some of the Inquisitor's covert expeditions to near the border are to continue hooking up.

7. Lady de Fer, Part 1

Bastien de Ghislain/Nicoline de Ghislain/Vivienne

Nicoline de Ghislain/Vivienne

We see the proof of Bastien and Vivienne's love for each other, but what did Nicoline think of all of this? The court of Orlais disapproved; how did Nicoline reconcile herself to her husband's other love? I'd love it if Nicoline and Vivienne had some kind of relationship outside of their mutual love for Bastien; you can include him in the focus or not, as you choose.

Female Adaar/Vivienne

I'd love to see a mage Adaar -- at first, they don't understand each other since one's an apostate and one's a Circle mage, but they realize that they can complement one another in the field, and find common ground in more than one area. Maybe Viv gives Adaar some etiquette lessons before Halamshiral, which leads to them bonding and eventually falling for one another. It’d be awesome to see the decisive moment in their relationship (when they realize they want to be together) be at Halamshiral in front of everyone.

8. Lady de Fer, Part 2

The Iron Bull/Vivienne

Viv puts Bull in his place the very first time they speak, and he calls her ma'am from then after. I want to see him becoming devoted to her, falling all over himself to please her, and in return she helps him to see himself as less of an object (except in the bedroom. See a few more details below.)

Blackwall/The Iron Bull/Vivienne

Vivienne takes no shit from either of these two men and has no trouble putting them in their place. I'd love to see this be d/s, but if that's not your cup of tea, I want to see some mutual respect among the three of them and the boys pampering the heck out of Viv.

D/S variant: Vivienne is the one person in the Inquisition that Bull can see himself actually submitting to, and she is more than happy to use him for her own ends. Blackwall feels immense guilt over his actions as Thom Rainier and finds release in letting Vivienne dom him. And sometimes Vivienne just tells the pair of them what to do to the other, which makes all three of them happy. Established Bull/Viv + Blackwall or organic OT3 - honestly, I’ll be happy with whatever here.

Sten/Vivienne

Arishok meets Divine and neither of them are the typical choices for that role. Sten's experience with the Warden makes him more open to viewing mages as people and Viv simply fails to be intimidated by his rank. Enemies at first and then the sparks fly? Instant connection? Or Sten-as-Inquisitor AU shenanigans? Take your pick!

9. Blackwalllllll

Blackwall/Female Cadash
Female Adaar/Blackwall

Josephine Montilyet/Blackwall

A canon romance I love that doesn’t get enough attention. No Blackwall-bashing, please; the Inquisitor/Josephine doesn’t have to instantly forgive him for his deception, but there should ultimately be a reconciliation and the promise of a solid relationship. Angst, fluff, flirting, PWP -- I’ll take it all!

10. Truly Absurd (or Awesome) Moresomes

For all three of these: I realize they're complicated and there's a lot of moving parts, so to speak; so I'll really be happy with whatever device you come up with to get them together. Pure fluff or smut is welcome, no plot or extra detail needed. I have a few more thoughts on each individual grouping.

Female Aeducan/Female Brosca/Female Cadash/Dagna/Lace Harding/Sigrun

LADY DWARF STACK! Dagna's old friends with Aeducan and Brosca and invites the pair of them to Skyhold; they bring Sigrun along as well and make fast friends with Cadash and Harding.

F!Aeducan/F!Amell/F!Brosca/F!Cousland/F!Mahariel/F!Surana/F!Tabris

Multi-Warden AU where Duncan collects all of them instead of arriving too late or not at all. Maybe some pre-Archdemon confrontation angst as they try to decide who will be the one to deliver the blow? Or maybe they all see each other in the afterlife after their self-sacrifice and bond over the experience?

F!Lavellan/F!Mahariel/Merrill/F!Surana/F!Tabris/Velanna

LADY ELF TANGLE! Maybe Lavellan somehow met up with all of them before becoming Inquisitor (a connection with Mahariel/Merrill or Velanna's clans?); or maybe the Heroines of Ferelden bring their girlfriends Merrill and Velanna along to a visit to Skyhold.

Fandoms
(Specific Prompts: WIP)

1. Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold [Any]

Solo: Foix dy Gura
- Foix has to deal with a lot in Paladin of Souls and beyond - what does it feel like to have a not-quite aware demon sharing your body with you? How does he deal with being Ista's new court sorcerer? Does he manage to make things work with Liss? How is his relationship with his brother?
Solo: Ijada dy Castos
- I'd love to see a bit more from her before The Hallowed Hunt starts, since that was such a transformative period for her. Or just some of the book from her perspective, since Ingrey can be a lot at times.
Solo: Ingrey kin Wolfcliff
- Ingrey just needs to be happy. Give him some happy with Ijada after the book is over. Or more adventures with the ice bear and the southerners, they were really interesting!
Illvin dy Arbanos/Ista dy Chalion
- Give me their happy ever after. Give me a million babies and being trusted advisors to the new ruler.
WB: Demons (Chalion Saga)
- There is so much potential here, especially from a demon POV. The evolution of being progressively more intelligent animals, up to humans; then possessing different humans and gaining more of a sense of self. They jump to the strongest person when their rider dies, but as we know there's an element of choosing and things can go awry; what does that feel like from the demon's perspective? An original demon would be great, or one that we've seen but not really gotten to know.
WB: Ibra (Chalion Saga)
- We don't get to see much of Ibra except in The Curse of Chalion and it's ripe for exploration! How do things reconcile with South Ibra after the book; how do they take the integration into Chalion and what do they think of their new Royina?
Iselle dy Chalion/Bergon dy Ibra
- They have their work cut out for them; something juicy with integrating their two kingdoms would be great -- but also some relationship fluff where they get to just be together. Or anything building more of their relationship, really.
WB: Saints (Chalion Saga)
- I'd love to see more with the petty saints of varying gods, it seems like there's a lot of ways in which they could help their favored humans. Especially a saint of the Daughter who's not under immense pressure to, y'know, save the world!
WB: Spirit Warriors (Chalion Saga)
- I'd be interested to see more about how the Weald builds their spirit shaman 'program' between The Hallowed Hunt and the Desdemona and Penric series; what kind of people are drawn to the opportunity and how do they choose an animal?
Desdemona & Penric kin Jurald
- These two are the living embodiment of "nice town you have there, it would be a shame if anything happened to it". I'd love to see more of their off-screen adventures between the different novellas; I only ask that you stay away from Penric's suicidal period.

2. Court of Fives

Agalar/Bettany
- Okay, Bright Thrones gave me all the feels for these two. I’m still frustrated that Bett couldn’t see what her sisters were doing, since she knows them so well, but I guess that’s Bett. Agalar is a much more interesting character after reading what he’s actually up to, and I’d be interested to see what happens to them after the novella. That’s a perfect set up for adventures and shenanigans. Does Bett ever try to contact her family, or does she just leave them behind entirely? Do they ever figure out what happened to her? Do they help Agalar’s mother?
Jessamy/Kalliarkos
- Post-canon, how do they balance their relationship -- especially with Kal gone frequently? How do they deal with a family of their own, when the time comes?
Jessamy/Kalliarkos/Ro-emnu
- There's a great deal of mutual respect between Kal and Ro, plus the obvious attraction between Jes and Ro, so I'd love to see the three of them come to some arrangement. A 'V' with Jes in the middle is fine, but a true triad is also fine!
Maraya/Polodos
- I love how much of a history nerd Maraya is. I’d also be totally down for an alternate view of some things in the series, the things that Jes missed in her preoccupation with the Fives. How did she fall in love with Polodos? How did they manage things at the Least Hill inn for that brief time when it was prospering due to Ro-emnu’s help?
Solo: Kiya
- What does she tell Safarenwe about her father when the girl is old enough? How does she balance her responsibilities to Efea with her duties as a mother? How does she deal with Wenru also being Lord Ottonor?
Solo: Mis
- The glimpse of Mis’ family life we got was really neat, I’d love to see that explored a bit more. How do they react to her choices, her being part of the rebellion and then the army? Does she ever get over Dusty? Does Dusty stop being an idiot and realize how amazing Mis is?

3. October Daye [Any]

Captain Pete | Amphitrite & The Luidaeg
- I love that The Luidaeg actually has one sibling that cares for her, even if it is one of Titania's children. I'd love to see some outsider POV from the pair on the events of The Unkindest Tide or any of the books after that that feature Captain Pete; or rip my heart out with the distant past and the fate of the Roane.
Dean Lorden/Quentin Sollys
- Ugh, these two. So sweet together, even if their relationship is doomed to end. I'll take anything with them -- a tender moment when things are quiet; being cute while they hang out with their friends; or attempting to process the end of The Innocent Sleep.
Dianda Lorden & The Luidaeg
- Dianda probably never expected to be on as good terms with the sea witch as she is. How does her view of the Luidaeg change over the years, through exposure to Toby and all the related shenanigans?
Dianda Lorden/Patrick Lorden/Simon Lorden | Simon Torquill
- UNDERSEA OT3. The glimpse we got of them actually being a proper threesome in Doubtless and Secure was tantalizing and I want more. More of Dianda and Simon coming to accept each other; more of Patrick and Simon finally getting to be together.
The Luidaeg & Quentin Sollys
- Toby remarks more than once on how abnormal a relationship these two have since Quentin only ever sees her as helpful, not the scary witch you should never bargain with. I want to see the Luidaeg gradually coming to love Quentin when she doesn't want to; I want to see Quentin trying to explain her to his parents and them completely failing to understand. Anything where they're both worrying over Toby or just doing something together.
October "Toby" Daye & Simon Lorden | Simon Torquill
- Toby and Simon have such a complicated relationship. I'd be interested to see what the early books look like from Simon's perspective, while she hated his guts and he still served Evening -- give me angst, complicated feelings, the works! Or anything in the more recent period, either before or after Titania's meddling, where they're trying to find their way to a real relationship.
October "Toby" Daye & Sylvester Torquill
- Much like with his twin, things are suuuuper complicated with Sylvester and Toby. Early days where he's trying to protect her the only way he knows how; or the middle books when she's slipping away from him; or give me the reconciliation I really hope is actually coming our way!
October "Toby" Daye & The Luidaeg
- How does the Luidaeg deal with all of the peril that Toby gets herself into, before she has a chance to bring back the Roane? How does she feel about Toby's future including her future child?
Raj & Quentin Sollys
- Princely best friends!
Simon Lorden | Simon Torquill & Sylvester Torquill

4. Enchanted Forest Chronicles [Any]

Alianora & Cimorene
Alianora/The Stone Prince
- I love that Alianora and Cimorene became friends, and I would read a whole book of their continued adventures.
Cimorene & Kazul & Morwen
Cimorene & Kazul (Enchanted Forest)
Cimorene/Kazul
Cimorene & Morwen (Enchanted Forest)
Cimorene/Morwen (Enchanted Forest)
- I love the way the three of them work together and support each other. They have different tools at their disposal but they all make their own stamp on their respective areas without caring about what other people think. I'd be interested to see what it looks like for Cimorene to rule on her own, or just run off and learn magic with Morwen.
Kazul & Shiara
Solo: Shiara
Daystar/Shiara (Enchanted Forest)
- I'd love anything with Shiara continuing to adjust to the idea of being the next Queen of the Enchanted Forest. It's a big jump for a fire witch who thought she had no control over her magic. What does she need to learn? How does she deal with her temper without sacrificing who she is?
Solo: Morwen
Morwen/Telemain (Enchanted Forest)
- Morwen and her cats is pretty much a win, and I'm just delighted by her relationship with Telemain. The fact that she understands him when very few other people can is a big clue that they're compatible. I'd like to see how the cats adjust to his permanent presence!
Cimorene/Mendanbar (Enchanted Forest)
- Let them be happy together! Preference is for after the series but I'd be just as happy with something before the wizards mess everything up. (Stupid wizards.)
Daystar & Mendanbar

5. Twelve Houses [Any]

Karryn Fortunalt & Wen
Ryne Coravann/Karryn Fortunalt
Jasper Paladar/Wen
- I rather liked Wen's journey in "Fortune and Fate" where she finds her own place (almost like she's a mystic for the knack of being in the right place at the right time :P) and thought that Ryne and Karryn were well-suited by the end. I'd love to see more about life at Fortune, including Wen's role as big sister/aunt/general protective person to Karryn (who does need some structure to her life).
Amalie/Cannon
Kirra Danalustrous/Donnal (Twelve Houses)
Ellynor/Justin
Senneth Brassenthwaite/Tayse (Twelve Houses)
- I'd love to see more about these canon couples, especially Kirra and Donnal since they kind of get short shrift (in favor of Kirra's affair with Romar Brendyn). Post-canon is always welcome; but I'm also a sucker for Outsider POV for each others' romances.
Solo: Senneth Brassenthwaite
Senneth Brassenthwaite & Kirra Danalustrous
Donnal/Justin
WB: Lands beyond Gillengaria
WB: Any (Twelve Houses)
WB: Mystics
- It seems like there's basically no end to the kind of power that mystics can wield, so tell me more about what's possible! Feel free to use an epistolary format or whatever suits.

6. Innkeeper Chronicles [Any]

Solo: Caldenia ka ret Magren
Kosandion ka ret Maggran/Wexyn Dion-Dian
Caldenia ka ret Magren & Kosandion ka ret Maggran
- I loved that Sweep of the Heart gave us more about Caldenia and why she's now a permanent guest of Gertrude Hunt. Her relationship with her brother was so complex, and it's almost remarkable that Kosandion understood and didn't blame her for what happened. I was also totally charmed by Lady Wexyn and would love to see a little bit more with her and Kosandion -- whether that's before, during, or after canon!
Caldenia ka ret Magren & Orro
Solo: Orro
- I'd love Outsider POV with these two, especially during One Fell Sweep/Sweep with Me while Sean and Dina try to figure themselves out. Orro is just a fantastic character and I love every visual that we get of him. Let him chew the scenery while he cooks. Let Caldenia egg him on.
Dina Demille/Sean Evans
- It'd be great to have some Sean POV at any point during the series, especially before Sweep of the Heart. They make a great pairing; really complement each other -- so something post-canon would be great too!
Solo: Hector Marais
- Officer Marais takes things rather in stride; I want to see more of what he was guessing about before he was read in to the secret -- or him trying to process afterwards. I was utterly charmed by reading the rather literal riot act to the Draziri and would easily read an entire fic of that!
George Camarine/Sophie Mar
- I want to see Sophie deciding that she's had enough of chasing him and carve out a space for the pair of them (as relayed by Gaston during Sweep of the Heart). I want to see what she's actually like as a ruler; and I would love to see them somehow get back home for a visit.
Ilemina & Maud Demille
Maud Demille/Arland Krahr
- While I love everyone at Gertrude Hunt I have a special fondness for House Krahr, especially post-Sweep of the Blade with Maud and Arland as the ultimate badass Power Couple. Karat deserves some spotlight of her own; and I love the back-and forth she has with her father Soren. I want Maud to deal with her new mother-in-law and Preceptor, maybe intimidated at first but discovering they have more in common than not.

7. The Last Dragonlord [Any]

I have a special place in my heart for this series because the author is a very loose family friend, so I would be thrilled if someone else out there also liked it!

Something that really intrigued me while I was making the nominations was the idea of incorporating LGBT+ characters. What if the dragonsoul isn't the same gender as the humansoul? What if the binary is gone completely? I give you full permission to run with Shima or an unknown Dragonlord on that front; or honestly just give me anything more from this world.

Linden Rathan/Maurynna Kyrissaean
Lleld Kemberaene & Maurynna Kyrissaean
Lleld Kemberaene/Jekkanadar Surael
Shima Ilyathan/His Soultwin
Solo: Original Unknown Dragonlord
Solo: Raven (The Last Dragonlord)
Solo: Shima Ilyathan
WB: LGBT+ Dragonlords
WB: Any (The Last Dragonlord)

8. Elemental Blessings

Jiramondi & Melissande (Elemental Blessings)
- They're so well matched, sexual orientation aside. I want to see more of how they navigate Melissande's home and the additional shenanigans during Whispering Wood.
Zoe Ardelay Lalindar/Darien Serlast
- Power couple trying to clean up everyone else's messes, I am here for it!
Foley/Josetta (Elemental Blessings)
- What Could Have Been; if Josetta had had stronger feelings for him; if Foley had not left with Corene.

9. Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells [Any]

Bramble & Moon
Celadon & Malachite & Moon
Chime/Jade/Moon (Raksura)
Consolation & Kethel (Books of the Raksura)
Consolation & Shade (Raksura)
Delin-Evran-lindel & Moon (Books of the Raksura)
Ember & Moon (Raksura)
Malachite & Moon (Books of the Raksura)
Moon & Stone (Books of the Raksura)
Rorra/Stone (Books of the Raksura)

If I don't get back to this before signups close: More of Moon with his family (found or otherwise); more of the half-breeds coming to term with who and what they are and their place in Raksura society; any and all Stone shenanigans (even if he's not part of the ship, it's STONE.)

10. Wheel of Time [Any]

Solo: Egwene al'Vere
- Look, she's flawed, but I identified with her so hard during my initial read of the series, so just give me more of her being a clever badass.
Solo: Siuan Sanche
- I'd love to see more of her being a skilled political player, since that's a little "informed" rather than shown during the series. She had to have become Amyrlin for a reason!
Solo: Verin Mathwin
- VERIN. Talk about playing the long game. Anything with her trying to balance her oaths to the Shadow with her true desire to break the Black Ajah wide open.
WB: Post-series Aiel
- I'm definitely in favor of being able to change Aviendha's visions, and I do think they were heading that way based on their inclusion in the Dragon's Peace. I'd love to see how they work as international enforcers and mediators!
Bain/Chiad/Gaul (Wheel of Time)
- A top quality OT3. I'm open to the idea of Bain and Chiad being a couple, and first-sisters was the way they could stay together. Mostly I just want to see them all be happy.
Mat Cauthon/Birgitte Silverbow
- I absolutely adored the scene where they're speaking in the Old Tongue without Mat realizing it, and I love how Birgitte sticks up for Mat to the girls (because they weren't giving Mat his due). Mat's not ugly, but maybe Birgitte makes an exception for him.
Moiraine Damodred/Siuan Sanche
- Please, please give me some actual Siuan/Moiraine relationship content. During or post-New Spring, or an AU where they never broke up because damn they had such a strong bond in their early years.
Nynaeve al'Meara/Lan Mandragoran
- Nynaeve is forever My Girl. Let her be her badass self as Queen of Malkier after everything is over; or just give the pair of them a little more time together after they reunite in ACoS but before he heads off in KoD. Since we don't get a Lan POV until the later books, maybe something in the early ones about how he falls in love with her and how he struggles to choose between his best friend and his love.
Rand al'Thor & Galad Damodred
- After all of Gawyn's much-discussed bullshit hatred of Rand, it was almost refreshing to have Galad's response to learning Rand was his half brother being acceptance and almost protectiveness, with the way he declared himself to Demandred. I would love to sneak in a moment where these two get to explore that connection, where Galad learns about what happened to Tigraine and why she left.
Rand al'Thor & Perrin Aybara & Mat Cauthon
- Give me more Ta'veren Trio adventures. Naive boys before the series starts. Trying to cope with all the new shenanigans. A proper reunion right before the Last Battle. Mat and Perrin talk afterwards and hey there's this weird black haired guy lurking what's up with that.
Perrin Aybara/Faile Bashere
- They were so cute in the beginning and then it kind of went wrong before going right again. How do they adjust to becoming the rules of Saldaea on top of their duties in the Two Rivers?
Aviendha/Elayne Trakand
Egwene al'Vere/Aviendha
Rand al'Thor/Mat Cauthon
Rand al'Thor/Perrin Aybara
- This is my "sell me on this ship" section. I love all things WoT so I'm going to love this too. Write me the manifesto for this ship, or the story you've always wanted to read; or just run with your favorite tropes.

Non-canonical major character deaths

1. Kal’Reegar/Tali’Zorah nar Rayya, Greg Adams/Tali’Zorah nar Rayya

Adams/Tali: They bond over engineering shenanigans in ME1, and then get to team up again in ME3 after Tali has undergone all that personal growth.

2. Aria T’Loak/Garrus Vakarian, Nyreen Kandros/Aria T’Loak

Aria/Garrus: There’s some great potential for identity porn or secret identity shenanigans here, since Garrus spends most of his time on Omega as Archangel. Maybe Aria meets Garrus Vakarian, disgraced ex-C-Sec agent and doesn’t realize he’s Archangel? Maybe lots and lots of flirting and banter while Grrus is out doing his Batman thing, and they somehow manage to get closer without Aria learning his true identity. Okay, because it’s Aria, it might be a bit of a stretch but maybe she doesn’t want to know? Really any Omega shenanigans are welcome, including after Garrus joins back up with Shepard.

Nyreen/Aria: How they got together, and how they broke up (all the angst, delicious angst). Aria’s reaction to Nyreen’s death. Or Nyreen lives and they finally get back together for good. Some possessive!Aria would be great in that scenario. Perfectly ok to address Nyreen’s fears of being swallowed up by Aria, as long as it doesn’t actually happen.

3. Mordin Solus/Aria T'Loak, Mordin Solus/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya

For all of these: I am okay with either a mostly asexual Mordin, where the relationship is more about feelings than physical intimacy; and a sexual one where Mordin seeks to please his partner. I really like the idea of him using his omni-tool to get either his partner off, if that's something you feel inclined to run with.

Mordin/Tali: They have more in common than not, even if they are nerdy about different things. Maybe Mordin offers to help Tali improve her suit in some manner? I'd love to see them bonding over some sort of techie project, friendship developing into something more - both of them thinking that they can't be together because their own species need them, but finding something good anyways (even if it's for a short period of time).

4. Karin Chakwas/Mordin Solus, Kirrahe/Mordin Solus

Chakwas/Mordin: Both of them are doctors who've been in the military (-ish, for STG, but it's close enough) and have a lot of interesting stories to tell. Maybe Mordin seeks to ease some of the burden Chakwas is under; maybe he helps with the crew after the Collector base mission -- or maybe she helps him with the genophage work in ME3.

Kirrahe/Mordin: For this one, you can either go strictly platonic or tweak canon to make their relationship include sex. Working together during their STG days – butting heads and then eventually coming to respect each other. Maybe they keep in touch afterwards, steal moments together whenever they can. A reunion during ME3, after Sur’Kesh – maybe Kirrahe comes on the Normandy for a time and sees Mordin there. They bury whatever hatchets lay between them because the Reapers make everything uncertain. Maybe that’s their first time together? Mordin lives or dies during ME3, your choice.

5. Greg Adams/Karin Chakwas, Karin Chakwas/Zaeed Massani

6. Karin Chakwas/Septimus Oraka, Karin Chakwas/Steven Hackett

Chakwas/Hackett: Okay so there has to be some history with these two. Hackett seems to know pretty much everyone in the Alliance who’s worth knowing. Maybe they were on the same ship at some point, maybe Chakwas had to patch Hackett up after a mission and things got heated. Or perhaps they’ve known about each other but don’t really get to know each other until Shepard starts turning things upside down.

7. Nakmor Drack/Urdnot Wrex, Suvi Anwar/Samantha Traynor

8. Suvi Anwar/Female Ryder, Kallo Jath/Zevin Raeka

Suvi/F!Ryder: I have a type, okay? Just two science nerds being total dorks totally in love and not caring one bit about what other people think. Experiments with Andromeda flora and fauna that have hilarious (and not life-threatening) results -- perhaps even aphrodisiac results? ;)

9. Jaal Ama Darav/Peebee/Female Ryder, Jaal Ama Darav/Liam Kosta/Female Ryder

10. Jaal Ama Darav/Liam Kosta, Liam Kosta/Female Ryder

Jaal/Liam: Liam’s an underrated character, fight me. I love his bromance dynamic with Jaal and would be thrilled to see it turn into an actual romance. Give me all of the belligerent sexual tension tropes-- playful shoving that turns into one of them falling on top of the other and kissing; the quintessential shut up kiss, “it’s about time” from all their friends.

Liam/F!Ryder: Liam screws up, but he’s so cute while doing it, and I love his connection to his family. Contrast that with F!Ryder whose family is all in Andromeda with her. They talk about their respective pasts and why they came to Andromeda, and Liam gets ‘adopted’ by BroRyder once he’s fully recovered.

1. All The Sten

Female Adaar/Sten

Leliana/Sten

I love the contrast between Origins’ soft, impressionable Leliana and hard, determined Sten. I can see him being worn down despite himself, unable to figure out why this silly human is affecting him so, and meanwhile Leliana is wondering if her flirting is ever going to do anything. OR: Inquisition era where Leliana has matured so much and that makes Sten all the more attracted to her - competency kink! Leliana knows the person Sten and not the Arishok, and I’d imagine that’s appealing and maybe makes her hard to resist.

Female Brosca/Sten

I'm also open to having the Warden be Tabris or Mahariel!
She comes from an extremely disadvantaged background and has seen the worst of what Ferelden has to offer. Maybe that makes the Qun attractive; maybe it makes her appreciate their position as a Warden all the more and not want to follow Sten when he leaves. How does the Warden break down Sten’s walls to reveal the softie underneath, and what does Sten think about this infuriating woman who breaks all his preconceived notions about the world? (Okay, I gave you a bit of a hint there, but I'm still open to other ideas!) I'm ok with either a bittersweet parting at the end of Origins (possibly with the Warden’s death, an exception to my usual no major deaths preference) or one of them making a sacrifice to stay with the other.

2. Absolution F/F

Hira/Miriam

Hira/Meredith Stannard

WHY is Hira helping Meredith? You can answer that question or you can just explore the (probably) complicated relationship between the pair of them. Do they have some kind of history with Hira being in Kirkwall before?

Miriam/Qwydion

3. The Others From Absolution

Lacklon/Roland

Lacklon/Miriam/Qwydion/Roland

Rezaren Ammosine/Tassia

4. Kirkwall Moresomes

Fenris/Donnic Hendyr/Isabela/Aveline Vallen

Donnic and Fenris strike up a friendship that starts to develop into more. Who notices it first? How does Aveline feel about her husband being attracted to Hawke’s broody elf friend, and how long does she let it go on before she tells Donnic to just go kiss Fenris already? Does Fenris grow closer to Aveline as a result? Similarly, Isabela and Aveline have something that could easily become sexual chemistry. Is Donnic or Fenris the one to make a move? How about Fenris/Isabela making overtures to Donnic/Aveline? Look, I’ll take any combination of this foursome, up to and including everyone in the same bed, but everyone has to be on board with what happens. Some healthy communication and poly negotiation would be fun.

Female Hawke/Isabela/Merrill

Fenris/Female Hawke/Isabela

5. Low-Key OTPs

Herren/Wade

Fenris/Isabela

Since Fenris and Isabela get together if Hawke doesn't romance either of them, I'd definitely be interested to see a little more of that relationship. It's implied that it's somewhat of a FWB relationship, but like I keep saying, I love seeing what happens when real feelings start to creep in!

Female Adaar/Vivienne

6. Skyhold Shenanigans

Female Adaar/Varric Tethras

SIZE KINK. Varric adores his tall girlfriend and doesn’t mind that she has to pick him up to kiss him. Adaar is charmed by this.

Esmeral Abernache/Movran the Under

The Iron Bull/Qwydion

Qwydion: :DDDDD
The Iron Bull: ?????
then they bang

7. Still More Moresomes

Blackwall/The Iron Bull/Vivienne

D/S relationship with Viv and her two burly subs, please! Vivienne is the one person in the Inquisition that Bull can see himself actually submitting to, and she is more than happy to use him for her own ends. Blackwall feels immense guilt over his actions as Thom Rainier and finds release in letting Vivienne dom him. And sometimes Vivienne just tells the pair of them what to do to the other, which makes all three of them happy. Established Bull/Viv + Blackwall or organic OT3 - honestly, I’ll be happy with whatever here.

Morrigan/Celene Valmont/Vivienne

Morrigan has made herself invaluable to Celene, which is a position that Vivienne once held/aspired to hold. Vivienne attempts to get back in Celene's good graces at Halamshiral, and finds out that includes buttering up Morrigan. They don't really get along, but somehow that doesn't matter with Celene to bridge the gap between them.

Leliana/Josephine Montilyet/Cullen Rutherford

WAR. ROOM. SAMMICH. This is an evergreen OT3 for me so I'll be happy with anything, but have some vague ideas anyway:

-Stress relief during the most fraught times of the Inquisition
-Established Leliana/Josie convincing Cullen that they want him as a 3rd
-Cullen feels torn between the two of them until they take matters into their own hands

8. Blackwalllllll

Blackwall/Female Cadash
Female Adaar/Blackwall

Blackwall/Josephine Montilyet/Female Trevelyan

Poly solves everything

9. Nathaniel, Velanna, and Sigrun

Nathaniel Howe/Velanna

I would love to see Nathaniel and Velanna get the full relationship treatment. They definitely seem like they’re edging towards mutual respect and even a little admiration. How does Nathaniel help Velanna with her sister’s fate? What does Velanna think of Nathaniel’s sister? Do they stay at Amaranthine after Awakening, or go somewhere else?

Sigrun/Velanna

Sigrun and Velanna are two somewhat prickly ladies with more in common than not. I can easily see a mutual respect turning into something more. Perhaps you could show them gradually growing closer during the events of Awakening, or maybe show how they forge a new path together afterwards.

Nathaniel Howe/Sigrun/Velanna

Velanna’s torn between Nathaniel and Sigrun, and decides she wants them both. It might take some time, but eventually everyone’s on board. A ‘V’ relationship is fine, as well as the full OT3.

10. F/F Origins & Beyond

Female Mahariel/Merrill
I'm most interested in seeing how things go for a Warden F!Mahariel and Merrill. Mahariel has to undergo the Joining to save her life, which means she has to be parted from Merrill. Were they a couple, or were they just pining after one another? Or was the pining one-sided? How do they meet again, whether that be in an alternate DA2 timeline or during the Inquisition (or after) period? How have they changed from the girls they once were, and how does that make them fit together now?

Female Brosca/Leliana
WIP

Leliana/Morrigan
Leliana and Morrigan didn’t get along at all during Origins, but they find themselves moving in similar circles by the time Inquisition comes around. They’ve both matured and changed and find their old bickering doesn’t matter anymore. Leliana gives the Inquisitor a positive review of Morrigan instead of a negative one, and respect turns into something more.

Fandoms
(Specific Prompts: WIP)

1. Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold

Solo: Foix dy Gura
- Foix has to deal with a lot in Paladin of Souls and beyond - what does it feel like to have a not-quite aware demon sharing your body with you? How does he deal with being Ista's new court sorcerer? Does he manage to make things work with Liss? How is his relationship with his brother?
Solo: Ijada dy Castos
- I'd love to see a bit more from her before The Hallowed Hunt starts, since that was such a transformative period for her. Or just some of the book from her perspective, since Ingrey can be a lot at times.
Solo: Ingrey kin Wolfcliff
- Ingrey just needs to be happy. Give him some happy with Ijada after the book is over. Or more adventures with the ice bear and the southerners, they were really interesting!
Illvin dy Arbanos/Ista dy Chalion
- Give me their happy ever after. Give me a million babies and being trusted advisors to the new ruler.
WB: Demons (Chalion Saga)
- There is so much potential here, especially from a demon POV. The evolution of being progressively more intelligent animals, up to humans; then possessing different humans and gaining more of a sense of self. They jump to the strongest person when their rider dies, but as we know there's an element of choosing and things can go awry; what does that feel like from the demon's perspective? An original demon would be great, or one that we've seen but not really gotten to know.
WB: Ibra (Chalion Saga)
- We don't get to see much of Ibra except in The Curse of Chalion and it's ripe for exploration! How do things reconcile with South Ibra after the book; how do they take the integration into Chalion and what do they think of their new Royina?
Iselle dy Chalion/Bergon dy Ibra
- They have their work cut out for them; something juicy with integrating their two kingdoms would be great -- but also some relationship fluff where they get to just be together. Or anything building more of their relationship, really.
WB: Saints (Chalion Saga)
- I'd love to see more with the petty saints of varying gods, it seems like there's a lot of ways in which they could help their favored humans. Especially a saint of the Daughter who's not under immense pressure to, y'know, save the world!
WB: Spirit Warriors (Chalion Saga)
- I'd be interested to see more about how the Weald builds their spirit shaman 'program' between The Hallowed Hunt and the Desdemona and Penric series; what kind of people are drawn to the opportunity and how do they choose an animal?
Desdemona & Penric kin Jurald
- These two are the living embodiment of "nice town you have there, it would be a shame if anything happened to it". I'd love to see more of their off-screen adventures between the different novellas; I only ask that you stay away from Penric's suicidal period.

2. Company - Kage Baker

Joseph/Lewis (Company - Kage Baker)
Joseph & Lewis (Company - Kage Baker)
- Poor Lewis. He gets kind of a raw deal - maybe Joseph is there to make things better at some point while they are trying to figure out the whole Mendoza situation.
Joseph & Mendoza (Company - Kage Baker)
- I love their dysfunctional father-daughter relationship. Joseph is just trying to look out for Mendoza even if she doesn't always recognize it. It would be nice to see an actual fun or tender moment with them, maybe during the events of Sky Coyote where she's not quite so angry anymore.
Lewis & Mendoza (Company - Kage Baker)
WB: Any (Company - Baker)
- There's so much potential to explain historical shenanigans with time travel/immortals. Pick your favorite period or event and add a hint of Dr. Zeus -- easy recipe for success!

3. Court of Fives

Agalar/Bettany
- Okay, Bright Thrones gave me all the feels for these two. I’m still frustrated that Bett couldn’t see what her sisters were doing, since she knows them so well, but I guess that’s Bett. Agalar is a much more interesting character after reading what he’s actually up to, and I’d be interested to see what happens to them after the novella. That’s a perfect set up for adventures and shenanigans. Does Bett ever try to contact her family, or does she just leave them behind entirely? Do they ever figure out what happened to her? Do they help Agalar’s mother?
Jessamy/Kalliarkos
- Post-canon, how do they balance their relationship -- especially with Kal gone frequently? How do they deal with a family of their own, when the time comes?
Jessamy/Kalliarkos/Ro-emnu
- There's a great deal of mutual respect between Kal and Ro, plus the obvious attraction between Jes and Ro, so I'd love to see the three of them come to some arrangement. A 'V' with Jes in the middle is fine, but a true triad is also fine!
Maraya/Polodos
- I love how much of a history nerd Maraya is. I’d also be totally down for an alternate view of some things in the series, the things that Jes missed in her preoccupation with the Fives. How did she fall in love with Polodos? How did they manage things at the Least Hill inn for that brief time when it was prospering due to Ro-emnu’s help?
Solo: Kiya
- What does she tell Safarenwe about her father when the girl is old enough? How does she balance her responsibilities to Efea with her duties as a mother? How does she deal with Wenru also being Lord Ottonor?
Solo: Mis
- The glimpse of Mis’ family life we got was really neat, I’d love to see that explored a bit more. How do they react to her choices, her being part of the rebellion and then the army? Does she ever get over Dusty? Does Dusty stop being an idiot and realize how amazing Mis is?

4. Dragon Jousters

Aket-ten/Kiron
Ari/Nofret-te-en
- Post-canon fluff with the two main relationships, please!
Ari & Haraket
Ari & Kiron
- These three are basically the experts on dragons and I want to see them getting to nerd out more. I want friendship, I want Haraket getting a chance to bond with more dragons than just Kashet.
Marit & Nofret
- They take different paths in the end, but the bond between the two of them is strong. It'd be nice to see a bit of what they are thinking in 'Alta' while things are deteriorating; or after they get to Sanctuary; or dealing with Nofret's growing feelings for Ari.
Solo: Peri-en-westet
- I really want to see her finding her own place outside of what everyone thinks she should be doing.
WB: Any (Dragon Jousters - Lackey)
WB: Dragon Riders
- What do things look like for new dragon riders recruited into service in Altia? I'd love to see the different 'specialization' possibilities not be divided along gendered lines; men can be couriers and females warriors!

5. Enchanted Forest Chronicles

Cimorene & Kazul & Morwen
Cimorene & Kazul (Enchanted Forest)
Cimorene & Morwen (Enchanted Forest)
Cimorene/Morwen (Enchanted Forest)
- I love the way the three of them work together and support each other. They have different tools at their disposal but they all make their own stamp on their respective areas without caring about what other people think. I'd be interested to see what it looks like for Cimorene to rule on her own, or just run off and learn magic with Morwen.
Kazul & Shiara
Solo: Shiara
Daystar/Shiara (Enchanted Forest)
- I'd love anything with Shiara continuing to adjust to the idea of being the next Queen of the Enchanted Forest. It's a big jump for a fire witch who thought she had no control over her magic. What does she need to learn? How does she deal with her temper without sacrificing who she is?
Solo: Morwen
Morwen/Telemain (Enchanted Forest)
- Morwen and her cats is pretty much a win, and I'm just delighted by her relationship with Telemain. The fact that she understands him when very few other people can is a big clue that they're compatible. I'd like to see how the cats adjust to his permanent presence!
Cimorene/Mendanbar (Enchanted Forest)
- Let them be happy together! Preference is for after the series but I'd be just as happy with something before the wizards mess everything up. (Stupid wizards.)

6. Twelve Houses

Karryn Fortunalt & Wen
Ryne Coravann/Karryn Fortunalt
Jasper Paladar/Wen
- I rather liked Wen's journey in "Fortune and Fate" where she finds her own place (almost like she's a mystic for the knack of being in the right place at the right time :P) and thought that Ryne and Karryn were well-suited by the end. I'd love to see more about life at Fortune, including Wen's role as big sister/aunt/general protective person to Karryn (who does need some structure to her life).
Kirra Danalustrous/Donnal (Twelve Houses)
Ellynor/Justin
Senneth Brassenthwaite/Tayse (Twelve Houses)
- I'd love to see more about these canon couples, especially Kirra and Donnal since they kind of get short shrift (in favor of Kirra's affair with Romar Brendyn). Post-canon is always welcome; but I'm also a sucker for Outsider POV for each others' romances.
WB: Any (Twelve Houses)
WB: Mystics
- It seems like there's basically no end to the kind of power that mystics can wield, so tell me more about what's possible! Feel free to use an epistolary format or whatever suits.

7. Innkeeper Chronicles

Solo: Caldenia ka ret Magren
Kosandion ka ret Maggran/Wexyn Dion-Dian
Caldenia ka ret Magren & Kosandion ka ret Maggran
- I loved that Sweep of the Heart gave us more about Caldenia and why she's now a permanent guest of Gertrude Hunt. Her relationship with her brother was so complex, and it's almost remarkable that Kosandion understood and didn't blame her for what happened. I was also totally charmed by Lady Wexyn and would love to see a little bit more with her and Kosandion -- whether that's before, during, or after canon!
Caldenia ka ret Magren & Orro
Solo: Orro
- I'd love Outsider POV with these two, especially during One Fell Sweep/Sweep with Me while Sean and Dina try to figure themselves out. Orro is just a fantastic character and I love every visual that we get of him. Let him chew the scenery while he cooks. Let Caldenia egg him on.
Dina Demille/Sean Evans
- It'd be great to have some Sean POV at any point during the series, especially before Sweep of the Heart. They make a great pairing; really complement each other -- so something post-canon would be great too!
Solo: Gertrude Hunt (Innkeeper Chronicles)
- The inns must have a very different perspective on things. What was it like for Gertrude Hunt to be dormant? What was the previous innkeeper like? How does it view Dina, Sean; and Maud and Helen?
Solo: Hector Marais
- Officer Marais takes things rather in stride; I want to see more of what he was guessing about before he was read in to the secret -- or him trying to process afterwards. I was utterly charmed by reading the rather literal riot act to the Draziri and would easily read an entire fic of that!
George Camarine/Sophie Mar
- I want to see Sophie deciding that she's had enough of chasing him and carve out a space for the pair of them (as relayed by Gaston during Sweep of the Heart). I want to see what she's actually like as a ruler; and I would love to see them somehow get back home for a visit.
Ilemina & Maud Demille
Karat & Soren
Solo: Karat
Maud Demille/Arland Krahr
- While I love everyone at Gertrude Hunt I have a special fondness for House Krahr, especially post-Sweep of the Blade with Maud and Arland as the ultimate badass Power Couple. Karat deserves some spotlight of her own; and I love the back-and forth she has with her father Soren. I want Maud to deal with her new mother-in-law and Preceptor, maybe intimidated at first but discovering they have more in common than not.

8. The Last Dragonlord

I have a special place in my heart for this series because the author is a very loose family friend, so I would be thrilled if someone else out there also liked it!

Something that really intrigued me while I was making the nominations was the idea of incorporating LGBT+ characters. What if the dragonsoul isn't the same gender as the humansoul? What if the binary is gone completely? I give you full permission to run with Shima or an unknown Dragonlord on that front; or honestly just give me anything more from this world.

Linden Rathan/Maurynna Kyrissaean
Lleld Kemberaene & Maurynna Kyrissaean
Lleld Kemberaene/Jekkanadar Surael
Shima Ilyathan/His Soultwin
Solo: Original Unknown Dragonlord
Solo: Raven (The Last Dragonlord)
Solo: Shima Ilyathan
WB: LGBT+ Dragonlords

9. Lord Ermenwyr - Any

Eliss & Captain Glass
- It was implied that he could be her paternal grandfather, so let's run with that!
Eliss/Krelan
Ermenwyr & Smith
Gard/The Green Saint
Smith/Mrs. Smith
WB: Any (Lord Ermenwyr)

10. Wheel of Time

Solo: Egwene al'Vere
- Look, she's flawed, but I identified with her so hard during my initial read of the series, so just give me more of her being a clever badass.
Solo: Siuan Sanche
- I'd love to see more of her being a skilled political player, since that's a little "informed" rather than shown during the series. She had to have become Amyrlin for a reason!
Solo: Verin Mathwin
- VERIN. Talk about playing the long game. Anything with her trying to balance her oaths to the Shadow with her true desire to break the Black Ajah wide open.
WB: Post-series Aiel
- I'm definitely in favor of being able to change Aviendha's visions, and I do think they were heading that way based on their inclusion in the Dragon's Peace. I'd love to see how they work as international enforcers and mediators!
WB: Samma N'Sei (Wheel of Time)
WB: The Black Tower (Wheel of Time)
WB: The White Tower
- Either during or after, just give me more of slice-of-life for channelers. How is it different from being a "normal" person in Randland?
Androl Genhald/Pevara Tazanovni
- I was personally charmed by their romance and want to see how they make their double bond work.
Amys/Lian/Rhuarc (Wheel of Time)
- Give me some quality OT3 content with the moms and dad of the Aiel. Make it so that Amys and Lian have a bond as much as they do with Rhuarc, even if it isn't romantic.
Bain/Chiad/Gaul (Wheel of Time)
- Another quality OT3. I'm open to the idea of Bain and Chiad being a couple, and first-sisters was the way they could stay together. Mostly I just want to see them all be happy.
Mat Cauthon/Birgitte Silverbow
- I absolutely adored the scene where they're speaking in the Old Tongue without Mat realizing it, and I love how Birgitte sticks up for Mat to the girls (because they weren't giving Mat his due). Mat's not ugly, but maybe Birgitte makes an exception for him.
Mat Cauthon/Fortuona Athaem Devi Paendrag
- Give me some good post-series content where Mat gets to make Seanchan less of a sucky place, please!
Moiraine Damodred & Lan Mandragoran
- There's a whole series just with these two between New Spring and TEoTW. Carefully and methodically tracking down each name on their list while making sure that they mask their true intentions; dodging exile Malkieri and avoiding Tower schemes. Or fill in some missing scenes during the early books where they are trying to keep these foolish Two Rivers kids alive; or anything during or after AMoL.
Moiraine Damodred/Siuan Sanche
- Please, please give me some actual Siuan/Moiraine relationship content. During or post-New Spring, or an AU where they never broke up because damn they had such a strong bond in their early years.
Moiraine Damodred/Thom Merrilin
- You can see the hints of this relationship in the early books, especially the scene in Tear early in TSR, but I get why a lot of people were blindsided after Moiraine came back from the Tower of Ghenjei. So, just any more content with them is great. Post-Last Battle is preferred but not by much.
Nynaeve al'Meara/Lan Mandragoran
- Nynaeve is forever My Girl. Let her be her badass self as Queen of Malkier after everything is over; or just give the pair of them a little more time together after they reunite in ACoS but before he heads off in KoD. Since we don't get a Lan POV until the later books, maybe something in the early ones about how he falls in love with her and how he struggles to choose between his best friend and his love.
Nynaeve al'Meara/Moiraine Damodred/Lan Mandragoran
- ... or, ya know, Moiraine is bi and has a lot of respect for Nynaeve, so maybe the pair of them are actually intimate and decide it's okay to invite Nynaeve in.
Rand al'Thor & Galad Damodred
- After all of Gawyn's much-discussed bullshit hatred of Rand, it was almost refreshing to have Galad's response to learning Rand was his half brother being acceptance and almost protectiveness, with the way he declared himself to Demandred. I would love to sneak in a moment where these two get to explore that connection, where Galad learns about what happened to Tigraine and why she left.
Rand al'Thor & Perrin Aybara & Mat Cauthon
- Give me more Ta'veren Trio adventures. Naive boys before the series starts. Trying to cope with all the new shenanigans. A proper reunion right before the Last Battle. Mat and Perrin talk afterwards and hey there's this weird black haired guy lurking what's up with that.
Rand al'Thor/Perrin Aybara
- Perrin's there for Rand. Always.

Mordin Solus/Aria T'Loak, Kirrahe/Mordin Solus
For both of these: I am okay with either a mostly asexual Mordin, where the relationship is more about feelings than physical intimacy; and a sexual one where Mordin seeks to please his partner.

Mordin/Aria: There's a lot more between Mordin and Aria than is shown on screen. I'd love to see how Aria dealt with Mordin coming to Omega in the first place, and maybe some exploration of Mordin's motives. I'm also just here for how they interact with each other, how Aria bends enough to let Mordin close to her. Maybe they only realize what they meant to each other after Mordin leaves with Shepard, and then comes back later?

Kirrahe/Mordin: For this one, you can either go strictly platonic or tweak canon to make their relationship include sex. Working together during their STG days – butting heads and then eventually coming to respect each other. Maybe they keep in touch afterwards, steal moments together whenever they can. A reunion during ME3, after Sur’Kesh – maybe Kirrahe comes on the Normandy for a time and sees Mordin there. They bury whatever hatchets lay between them because the Reapers make everything uncertain. Maybe that’s their first time together? Mordin lives or dies during ME3, your choice.

Greg Adams/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, Karin Chakwas/Steven Hackett

Adams/Tali: There's a lot of anti-quarian prejudice from the start of ME1, so it's interesting to see Adams buck the trend and instantly accept Tali for herself. Specifically, her engineering skills, but what if that leads to more? It's even canon that they spend time together. Maybe nothing happens in ME1 because Tali's still finding her feet, or there just isn't time, but then they're both back for ME3 and oh shit we might all die so let's confess our feelings. Prefer that Tali (and the quarians) live if you're taking the story through to the end of ME3.

Chakwas/Hackett: Okay so there has to be some history with these two. Hackett seems to know pretty much everyone in the Alliance who’s worth knowing. Maybe they were on the same ship at some point, maybe Chakwas had to patch Hackett up after a mission and things got heated. Or perhaps they’ve known about each other but don’t really get to know each other until Shepard starts turning things upside down.

Kelly Chambers/Female Shepard/Liara T'Soni, Miranda Lawson/Garrus Vakarian

Kelly/F!Shep/Liara: I am most interested in seeing the three of them trying to navigate a true triad. Maybe Liara and F!Shep stay loyal to one another and F!Shep is battling feelings for Kelly, trying to keep herself from acting on it and hurting Liara; but Liara figures it out and tells FemShep it's okay. Maybe it's a joint decision to invite Kelly into their relationship; or F!Shep has a "girl in every port" kind of deal with the two of them. Let Kelly live in ME3, please! She's a really empathetic and insightful character, maybe there's something better for her to do than help refugees on the Citadel. Maybe she joins Liara's Shadow Broker endeavors somehow.

Miranda/Garrus: Miranda’s trying to set herself up as Shepard’s right hand, but Garrus kind of already had that position in 1. They’re at each other’s throats until the anger spills over into angry sex. Then it turns out they have more in common than they thought, with their fathers pushing them to be something they aren’t. How long can they keep up the pretense that they really can’t stand one another before the truth comes out?

EDI/Jeff "Joker" Moreau, EDI/Jeff "Joker" Moreau/Female Shepard

I have a lot of thoughts about EDI and how she tries to navigate having a body, and how that affects her relationships with the important people in her life. It's got to be more than a little disconcerting, and maybe that holds her back from initiating something physical at the start, but she decides to take the risk/her partner(s) let her know that it's ok to risk it. If you're including F!Shep, maybe she and Joker don't actually get together until EDI's physical body is added into the mix, and it's an organic OT3 where they are all equal partners from the start. Something sweet and fluffy would be great. That being said, I'm not exactly going to object to something extremely smutty. For the OT3 route, Joker watching while his two ladies go at it is a great idea; F!Shep gets to stop holding back physically for fear of breaking her pilot. EDI uses something like NerveStim to enhance the experience -- also, voice kink is A+++!

Kaidan Alenko/Jeff "Joker" Moreau/Female Shepard, Kaidan Alenko/Male Shepard/Ashley Williams

For both of these requests: I'm okay with things turning romantic at any point during the trilogy; my one hard requirement is that they're all equal partners in the relationship.

Kaidan/Joker/F!Shep: Those are LITERALLY the first three characters on screen in ME1. Talk about going through hell together! The three of them find comfort in each others' company after Virmire and losing Ashley. Kaidan and Joker bond over what happened with F!Shep at the beginning of ME2 and F!Shep comes back to them being closer than ever -- is there a bit of jealousy on her part that makes her realize she cares for both of them?

Kaidan/M!Shep/Ashley: Both survive Virmire and have to deal with the after-effects. (If you want to have someone die in their place, that's fine, but I'm also ok with an Everyone Lives handwave.) Ash and Kaidan support each other in the period between the end of ME1 and M!Shep's resurrection; then M!Shep comes back and things get complicated again. Lean into the angst if you want but I'd prefer a happy ending.

Female Shepard/Adrien Victus, Samantha Traynor/Ashley Williams

F!Shep/Victus: They find themselves in similar positions during ME3 - rising to fill a vacuum of leadership they feel unprepared for. F!Shep starts off just trying to keep Victus from spiraling because she needs him as Primarch, and then she starts to need him as something else. Even though his duties eventually take Victus off of the Normandy, they keep in touch and plan for a future they don't ever expect to get. Your choice of ending, or leave their story before it gets to that point.

Traynor/Ashley: Brains and brawn, except that they actually each have a bit of both. Traynor tries to make Ashley feel welcome on the Normandy, and Ashley likes having someone else who can talk literature with her. Ashley met Traynor's family on Horizon during her time there? Or an AU where Ashley is the hero Spectre instead. Or an AU where they both meet under more 'normal' circumstances in the Alliance? Bring on the tropes if that's your thing, I'm all for it!

Kallo Jath/Zevin Raeka, Jaal Ama Darav/Avela Kjar

Kallo/Raeka: I’m a sucker for arranged marriage tropes (see above in my general likes), so what if the Jath and Raeka families somehow decide that these two need to pair up? Raeka being a bit put out that her family expects her to start producing eggs when there’s so much work to do. Kallo having a strong attachment to the human Pathfinder and not wanting to shirk his duties. And then the two of them overcoming their doubts and finding some kind of happiness with one another…

Jaal/Avela: Another "arranged marriage special"! You get to hear gossip on Aya about Jaal’s relationship status (mainly, the lack thereof). Maybe there’s arranged marriage traditions among angara, and Jaal is fed up with his mothers’ attempts to set him up with a “nice young woman” so he chooses Avela instead, because she’s attached to her work and is also feeling the pressure of being matched up. Nice, uncomplicated, no feelings … until feelings start to creep in.

Or the more straightforward approach: Jaal gets to know Avela because of Ryder’s visits to the Repository of History, and (once again) feelings ensue.

Jaal Ama Darav/Peebee, Jaal Ama Darav/Peebee/Female Ryder

Jaal/Peebee: Jaal gets tired of Peebee's constant teasing about attempting to mate and dares her to actually go through with it. Does she, or is she taken aback and needs more time to consider? Bickering/teasing to UST to hot hot sex ... or anything else you come up with ;)

Jaal/Peebee/F!Ryder: So many great ways this could go! Duo to triad (either duo to start with), or Jaal and Peebee have been rivals for FemRyder’s attention and decide they’re okay with sharing. I’d especially love Peebee continuing to tease Jaal about possibly being able to mate with him (see above!) Shameless three-way smut, or Jaal bringing both of them home to his mothers.

Jaal Ama Darav/Liam Kosta, Jaal Ama Darav/Liam Kosta/Female Ryder

I love, love, love the bromance between Jaal and Liam. Obviously I want to see it turn into actual romance! Both of them dealing with the realization that their friendship has become more and not sure how to take it to the next step, especially when it comes to actually confessing their feelings!

I am also excited to see what happens if F!Ryder gets added in. Has she been flirting with both of them? Does she get jealous of their closeness and that makes her realize her own feelings for the pair of them? Organic OT3 where they all just start figuring out how they all fit together? All of the above?

Liam Kosta/Peebee, Nakmor Drack/Urdnot Wrex

Liam/Peebee: *slams fists on table* MORE LIAM. MORE PEEBEE. They both have a tendency to go "sure, why not" and run off half-cocked; maybe that's what brings them together? Or Peebee is impressed by Liam's loyalty and finds herself drawn to him. Really, I'll take almost anything with these two criminally underused characters.

Drack/Wrex: Cranky old krogans unite! Both of them have Seen Some Shit. They get smashed together before Clan Nakmor leaves with the Initiative, trade stories, try to top one another as far as who did the most outrageous thing. Or maybe they fought/worked together at one point. Drack gives Wrex a hand in the 2183-2185 period as Wrex works to unite the clans.

The exception is the ships in Request #7 where I am really interested in receiving a Mature/Explicit gift due to my preferred themes for those pairings. (I'll highlight this again when I get there).

1. All The Sten
Female Adaar/Sten

Leliana/Sten

Female Cadash/Iron Bull/Sten

Established Cadash/Bull has to deal with Sten showing up at Skyhold. I’d imagine this works better if Bull is Tal-Vashoth, but I’m open to loyal!Bull unexpectedly wanting to bang the Arishok and trying to get his girl on board.

2. Sten/Warden canon confirmed

Female Brosca/Sten
Female Mahariel/Sten
Sten/Female Tabris

Most of what I want can be accomplished with any of the backgrounds, so I don’t have specific prompts for Brosca vs. Mahariel vs. Tabris. All three come from extremely disadvantaged (in their own way) backgrounds and have seen the worst of what Ferelden has to offer. Maybe that makes the Qun attractive; maybe it makes them appreciate their position as a Warden all the more and not want to follow Sten when he leaves. How does the Warden break down Sten’s walls to reveal the softie underneath, and what does Sten think about this infuriating woman who breaks all his preconceived notions about the world? (Okay, I gave you a bit of a hint there, but I'm still open to other ideas!) I'm ok with either a bittersweet parting at the end of Origins (possibly with the Warden’s death, an exception to my usual no major deaths preference) or one of them making a sacrifice to stay with the other.

5. Low-Key OTPs

Herren/Wade

Fenris/Isabela

6. Varric’s Gonna Get Some

Bethany Hawke/Varric Tethras

This exchange has won me over to Bethany/Varric. I’m partial to something where she shows up at Skyhold and Varric introduces her to everyone in such a fashion that causes them to be mistaken for a couple. Which causes them to re-evaluate their relationship and oh look, now they are a couple.

Female Adaar/Varric Tethras

SIZE KINK. Varric adores his tall girlfriend and doesn’t mind that she has to pick him up to kiss him. Adaar is charmed by this.

Female Aeducan/Varric Tethras

F!Aeducan's attitude towards Orzammar is almost the exact opposite of Varric's. Maybe an AU where she's Queen; or maybe Warden Aeducan actually shows up in person at Skyhold and initially clashes with Varric, but then finds common ground with him.

7. Let’s Get Kinky (Mature/Explicit Only!)

Blackwall/The Iron Bull/Vivienne

Ser Cauthrien/Anora Mac Tir

D/S again! Cauthrien is immensely devoted to Anora. In all senses, including the bedroom.

Carver Hawke/Velanna

Warden!Carver meets Velanna and annoys her enough to have her use her vine magic on him. They both find that incredibly hot.

8. The More The Merrier

Female Adaar/Female Hawke/Isabela/Josephine Montilyet

Established Adaar/Josephine and Hawke/Isabela decide to mix things up a little bit while Hawke and Isabela are at Skyhold.

Morrigan/Celene Valmont/Vivienne

Nathaniel Howe/Sigrun/Velanna

Velanna’s torn between Nathaniel and Sigrun, and decides she wants them both. It might take some time, but eventually everyone’s on board. A ‘V’ relationship is fine, as well as the full OT3.

9. Blackwalllllll

Blackwall/Female Cadash
Blackwall/Josephine Montilyet
Female Adaar/Blackwall

10. Angsty F/F

Female Aeducan/Dagna

Dagna and F!Aeducan have a forbidden romance in Orzammar, both of them dreaming for something they can never have. Everything changes when Aeducan leaves, then comes back – what is their reunion like? How does Aeducan feel about Dagna going to the Circle, and then later working with the Inquisition?

Leliana/Morrigan

Female Cousland/Anora Mac Tir

F!Cousland finds herself married to Anora for all the same reasons that a M!Cousland might marry her, and a grudging respect turns into mutual pining and someone needs to whack them over the head to have them realize they’re actually in love with each other.

4. Karin Chakwas/Septimus Oraka, Karin Chakwas/Steven Hackett

5. Female Shepard/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, Female Shepard/Ashley Williams

F!Shep/Tali: Tali is basically canonically into F!Shep; run with it! Tali owes Shep so much, maybe there's a case of hero worship at first, but I really want it to be a relationship between equals. Tali is also a constant in Shepard's life and I'd imagine that's comforting, especially as things get increasingly complicated in 3.

F!Shep/Ashley: I love Ashley, I think she gets so much good character development over the three games. I’d love to see how they get together after the tense scene at the end of the Citadel coup in 3, but really I’m okay with whatever you come up with. Bonus points for Ashley having to explain to her sisters that she’s now dating Shepard. Bonus angst points if it’s an Ash POV after Shepard sends her back to the Normandy at the very end, and how Ash deals with (insert your choice of ending here).

6. Female Shepard/Samantha Traynor, Female Shepard/Miranda Lawson

F!Shep/Traynor: Traynor is so smart and competent, and I adore the brick joke of her toothbrush in the Citadel DLC. I’d love to see something light-hearted with the two of them following the whole fiasco with the clone, maybe verging a little onto the angsty side with Traynor needing a bit of reassurance and TLC. I’d also love seeing something with Shepard being so proud of her smart girlfriend.

7. Nakmor Drack/Lexi T'Perro, Nakmor Drack/Urdnot Wrex

Drack/Lexi: Drack decides he doesn’t mind the hot asari doctor flirting with him, and eventually taking him to bed. He’s learned to take his pleasures where he can, after all. I’d love to see something that starts as casual and becomes more serious eventually. Kesh is thrilled to turn the tables on Drack, after his reaction to Vorn, and teases him mercilessly. Drack having to deal with Kesh’s kids and his own asari offspring at the same time.

8. Kallo Jath/Zevin Raeka, Jaal Ama Darav/Avela Kjar

Or the more straightforward approach: Jaal gets to know Avela because of Ryder’s visits to the Repository of History, and (once again) feelings ensue.

9. Peebee/Female Ryder, Jaal Ama Darav/Peebee/Female Ryder

Peebee/F!Ryder: My first Andromeda romance, and I still love Peebee to death. My Ryder was equal parts exasperated and intrigued by Peebee when they first met and it went from there. They’re both nerds, even if Peebee’s a bit more consistently enthusiastic about it. Just let Peebee be her outgoing, enthusiastic, somewhat dorky self and I'm good. If you're feeling adventurous, they could try to use some of Peebee's Remnant research to spice things up in the bedroom.

Jaal/Peebee/F!Ryder: So many great ways this could go! Duo to triad (either duo to start with), or Jaal and Peebee have been rivals for FemRyder’s attention and decide they’re okay with sharing. I’d especially love Peebee continuing to tease Jaal about possibly being able to mate with him. Shameless three-way smut, or Jaal bringing both of them home to his mothers.

10. Zevin Raeka/Female Ryder, Vetra Nyx/Female Ryder

Raeka/F!Ryder: Ryder has a lot weighing on her, and Raeka is someone who could be her equal - and possibly with a lot weighing on her too, since salarian females are usually supposed to be kept safe and not in the midst of the action! I'd love to see them being adventurous together, either during or after Andromeda.

Vetra/F!Ryder: Not going to lie, I’ll take pretty much anything here. Vetra’s so confident and dashing, but she’d do anything for her little sister. Maybe F!Ryder feels the same way about her brother (even if he’s not littler than she is). Vetra can be herself around Ryder, something she finds herself greatly attracted to. Perhaps they’ve both got a little daredevil/adventurer streak in them – or more than a little.

I hope there’s something in here that sparks your imagination! I’m okay with everything from platonic friendship/fluff to PWP - whatever you’re best at or speaks to you the most. I’d rather have something that you found enjoyable and fun to write than be overly restrictive with my preferences.

If you find you have questions or want clarification, you can leave an anonymous comment and I’ll be happy to answer you :)

Requested Relationships

1. Female Adaar/Sera
Female Adaar/Varric Tethras
Female Adaar/Sten
(Bucket: Sera/Shokrakar)

-Woof. I love how unabashedly Sera is into Qunari Ladies, and it’d be awesome to see Adaar reciprocate that. Alternatively, a non-romanced Sera is instantly smitten when Shokrakar comes to see Adaar at Skyhold.

-SIZE KINK. Varric adores his tall girlfriend and doesn’t mind that she has to pick him up to kiss him. Adaar is charmed by this.

-Arishok Sten shows up at Skyhold after Iron Bull’s loyalty quest (it can go either way). Adaar greets him cordially, but stiffly, because she is no fan of the Qun. She refuses to budge even an ounce on her convictions. It isn’t until Varric tells her about his time traveling with Sten and Alistair (see: the comics) that she unbends enough to give him a fair shake. Adaar eventually opens up to him and discovers they actually have a lot in common.

Sten, meanwhile, is still struggling with the fact that, as the Arishok, he’s supposed to embody the principles of the antaam – but his experiences in Thedas mean that he’s far more tolerant of differing views than pretty much everyone else in the Qun. He’s been falling for Adaar the whole time he’s been at Skyhold, and it all comes together one night. What happens after that? Is it only while Sten is at Skyhold, or does it somehow continue?

2. Dagna/Female Aeducan/Female Brosca/Female Cadash/Lace Harding/Sigrun
Female Adaar/Female Hawke/Isabela/Josephine Montilyet
Female Cadash/Dagna/Lace Harding
(Bucket: Leliana/Josephine Montilyet/Cullen Rutherford)

-LADY DWARF STACK. I don't care how you get them all in the same place at the same time but just make it happen. Smut? Fluff? Both?!

-Established Adaar/Josephine and Hawke/Isabela decide to mix things up a little bit while Hawke and Isabela are at Skyhold.

-Cadash finds herself being torn between her two fellow lady dwarves -- the genius who stays at Skyhold, and the trailblazer in the field. Luckily, poly is an option.

-War Room Sandwich: Consider this a free space to write whatever version of these three your plotty/smutty heart desires :)

3. Isabela/Merrill
Fenris/Isabela
Zevran Arainai/Female Hawke/Isabela
(Bucket: Zevran Arainai/Fenris/Isabela)

-You can tell that Isabela genuinely cares for Merrill. I can easily see Isabela taking the role of gentle teacher, trying to help Merrill without breaking her optimism and positivity. Maybe it starts as Isabela deciding that Merrill needs to learn a few things about how to please a woman, and ends with Isabela unable to give Merrill up.

-Since Fenris and Isabela get together if Hawke doesn't romance either of them, I'd definitely be interested to see a little more of that relationship. It's implied that it's somewhat of a FWB relationship, but like I keep saying, I love seeing what happens when real feelings start to creep in!

-Zevran and Isabela have a history, and that makes things somewhat awkward for Hawke/Fenris when he shows up outside of Kirkwall. Maybe Isabela’s been trying to pretend that things are still casual, and that facade falls apart; maybe Isabela has acknowledged how serious she is and worries that her past lover will shake her new relationship. Or perhaps it’s just straight up sexytimes for the trio. I’m not that picky.

4. Sigrun/Velanna
Female Brosca/Sigrun
Nathaniel Howe/Velanna
(Bucket: Nathaniel Howe/Sigrun/Velanna)

-Sigrun and Velanna are two somewhat prickly ladies with more in common than not. I can easily see a mutual respect turning into something more. Perhaps you could show them gradually growing closer during the events of Awakening, or maybe show how they forge a new path together afterwards.

-Sigrun and Brosca are rogues (of a sort; you don’t have to write a Rogue Brosca) that can never really go back to Orzammar. I see Sigrun starting off as somewhat standoffish and treating Brosca as her commander, nothing more; how does Brosca break down that barrier? Or is Brosca obviously smitten but won’t make a move, leaving Sigrun to take that first step? There’s also always the option of both of them being stubborn, leaving their friends to scheme to get them together.

-I would love to see Nathaniel and Velanna get the full relationship treatment. They definitely seem like they’re edging towards mutual respect and even a little admiration. How does Nathaniel help Velanna with her sister’s fate? What does Velanna think of Nathaniel’s sister? Do they stay at Amaranthine after Awakening, or go somewhere else?

-Velanna’s torn between Nathaniel and Sigrun, and decides she wants them both. It might take some time, but eventually everyone’s on board. A ‘V’ relationship is fine, as well as the full OT3.

5. Female Hawke/Isabela/Merrill
Fenris/Female Hawke/Isabela
Fenris/Donnic Hendyr/Aveline Vallen
(Bucket: Fenris/Donnic Hendyr/Isabela/Aveline Vallen)

-I see F!Hawke/Isabela/Merrill as being an organic poly relationship rather than a 2+1, if that makes sense. Hawke flirts with them both and refuses to choose, and they’re on board with that. It’d be great to see Merrill getting involved with the Qunari tangle at the end of Act 2 as well as Hawke.

-Since Fenris and Isabela get together if Hawke romances neither, there’s obviously some chemistry between them. Is this a pair inviting in a third situation, or one where it becomes obvious that all three are attracted to each other? Similarly to F!Hawke/Isabela/Merrill, it’d be interesting to see how Fenris deals with the Arishok since he seems to have some knowledge of the Qunari.

-Donnic and Fenris strike up a friendship that starts to develop into more. Who notices it first? How does Aveline feel about her husband being attracted to Hawke’s broody elf friend, and how long does she let it go on before she tells Donnic to just go kiss Fenris already? Does Fenris grow closer to Aveline as a result? (‘V’ and OT3 both fine here!)

-When you add in Isabela, I'm interested in any of the combinations of this foursome, up to and including everyone in the same bed, but my only request is that everyone is on board with what happens. Some healthy communication and poly negotiation would be fun.

6. Leliana/Morrigan
Leliana/Josephine Montilyet
Leliana/Cassandra Pentaghast
(Bucket: Leliana/Female Trevelyan)

-Leliana and Morrigan didn’t get along at all during Origins, but they find themselves moving in similar circles by the time Inquisition comes around. They’ve both matured and changed and find their old bickering doesn’t matter anymore. Leliana gives the Inquisitor a positive review of Morrigan instead of a negative one, and respect turns into something more.

-With Leliana and Josie/Cass, you can tell there’s an enormous amount of respect and friendship between the two of them. Being in such close proximity during the events of Inquisition… it becomes more than just simple friendship.

-Spymaster and Left Hand of the Divine, Leliana has lived a (post-Origins) life where it’s necessary to guard her emotions and remain free of entanglements. How does she deal with falling in love with a politically savvy Trevelyan (of any class)? I’d prefer her to not have been romanced in Origins; but hardened or not is your choice. How does Trevelyan win over a reluctant Leliana?

7. Celene Valmont/Vivienne

Morrigan/Celene Valmont

Female Adaar/Vivienne
(Bucket: Morrigan/Celene Valmont/Vivienne)

-Celene has had two different but very powerful female mages at her beck and call. It’s easy to imagine that closeness turning into something more than a professional relationship. Perhaps Morrigan/Vivienne is mostly doing it to stay close to Celene, but they come to enjoy it more than they thought they would. I can also see Morrigan doing it as a way to try to manipulate Celene, in the process of becoming invaluable to her. Perhaps Celene is using her partner as much as she’s using Celene, but everyone’s having a good time.

-For Vivienne/Adaar, I'd love to see a mage Adaar -- at first, they don't understand each other since one's an apostate and one's a Circle mage, but they realize that they can complement one another in the field, and find common ground in more than one area. Maybe Viv gives Adaar some etiquette lessons before Halamshiral, which leads to them bonding and eventually falling for one another. It’d be awesome to see the decisive moment in their relationship (when they realize they want to be together) be at Halamshiral in front of everyone.

-Morrigan has made herself invaluable to Celene, which is a position that Vivienne once held/aspired to hold. Vivienne attempts to get back in Celene's good graces at Halamshiral, and finds out that includes buttering up Morrigan. They don't really get along, but somehow that doesn't matter with Celene to bridge the gap between them.

8. Female Aeducan/Dagna

Duncan/Adaia Tabris

Fiona/Loghain Mac Tir

(Bucket: Female Mahariel/Merrill)

-Dagna and F!Aeducan have a forbidden romance in Orzammar, both of them dreaming for something they can never have. Everything changes when Aeducan leaves, then comes back – what is their reunion like? How does Aeducan feel about Dagna going to the Circle, and then later working with the Inquisition?

-Duncan tried to recruit Adaia Tabris back in the day, but was convinced to leave her because of her ties to her family. I'd be interested to explore that relationship a bit more, and would prefer if you set it before she marries Cyrion and has a child. What did Duncan see in her that made him want to bring her in? Adaia is shown to be a fierce fighter, yes, but we're shown that it takes more than that to be a Warden. You can also set this in the context of Duncan telling Warden Tabris about their mother.

-Fiona and Loghain can end up at Skyhold at the same time, and that's the context I'm most interested in seeing for this exchange. They went through a lot together, back in the old days, and had Maric as the person they both loved (in different ways). Both of them have gone through trials and loss, and I'd love to see that old connection spark into a new romance under the threat of Corypheus.

-I'm most interested in seeing how things go for a Warden F!Mahariel and Merrill. Mahariel has to undergo the Joining to save her life, which means she has to be parted from Merrill. Were they a couple, or were they just pining after one another? Or was the pining one-sided? How do they meet again, whether that be in an alternate DA2 timeline or during the Inquisition (or after) period? How have they changed from the girls they once were, and how does that make them fit together now?

9. Female Brosca/Sten

Sten/Female Tabris

Zevran Arainai/Female Mahariel
(Bucket: Zevran Arainai/Female Brosca)

-More obligatory "I love Sten" requests - how does Brosca/Tabris break down his walls to reveal the softie underneath, and what does Sten think about this infuriating woman who breaks all his preconceived notions about the world? (Okay, I gave you a bit of a hint there, but I'm still open to other ideas!) I'm ok with either a bittersweet parting at the end of Origins (possibly with Brosca/Tabris's death) or one of them making a sacrifice to stay with the other.

-Zevran has an interesting arc as a Warden's LI, going from trying to kill them to being totally devoted to them. How does that relationship evolve with either a Mahariel or a Brosca Warden? How do those feelings become genuine on both sides? I'm also totally up for them going off together after Origins to deal with the Crows, or have other adventures in Antiva.

10. Herren/Wade
Charade Amell/Sera
Female Aeducan/Gorim Saelac
(Bucket: Female Aeducan/Varric Tethras)

-Herren and Wade are such an old married couple, I love them so much. I'd be interested to see how they manage the chaos of Denerim and later Amaranthine, Herren trying to keep Wade aware of the circumstances that AREN'T strictly related to the crafting of armor and weapons.

-Charade Amell becomes a Red Jenny and associate of Sera after her appearance in DA2, and I mostly just want to see these two having fun adventures together. You could start with Charade joining the Red Jenny organization and Sera bringing her up to speed, or sometime after Charade is already established. An Inquisition cameo would be fun, especially if it's while Hawke is at Skyhold.

-You have the option to have F!Aeducan be truly in love with Gorim, which makes his marriage to a surfacer all the more heartbreaking. (Side note: I love the Origins characters that only gain extra meaning when you've played through their related Origin.) While I'm not opposed to pre-Origins fic with these two, I'm more interested in what happens after she becomes a Warden. An AU where Gorim doesn't get married but instead returns to serving his lady is ideal! Or perhaps even more of an AU where she gains the throne and keeps Gorim by her side.

-F!Aeducan's attitude towards Orzammar is almost the exact opposite of Varric's. Again, maybe an AU where she's Queen; or maybe Warden Aeducan actually shows up in person at Skyhold and initially clashes with Varric, but then finds common ground with him.

Requested Characters/Relationships

Root/Sameen Shaw – Just let them be happy together already. A Root Lives AU would be great, but I’d settle for even a single encounter outside of a simulation where they go to town on each other. Season 3, 4, 5, or post-canon – your choice, although I’ll tentatively register a preference for post-canon. I would also be interested to see what you come up with in the No Machine AU setting we saw at the end of S5.
The Machine/Root/Sameen Shaw – Tricky, but one that I would absolutely love to see. I’m sure that Shaw knows that she takes The Machine along with Root, but maybe she didn’t expect TM to be such an active participant in their sex life. Alternately, a Root Lives AU where Shaw builds her own relationship with TM; maybe TM chooses a different voice in that case (Finch? Reese?) or Shaw has to deal with TM and Root having the same voice.
John Reese & Sameen Shaw – Mayhem Twins going to town on bad guys. Gunfire, explosions – the works! Reese gently needling Shaw about her relationship with Root; Shaw turns the tables and teases him about (Finch, Zoe, Iris).
Hersh & Sameen Shaw – There's obviously a ton of history between these two and I'd love to see it explored more. Something from Hersh's POV as he watches Shaw becoming a part of Team Machine would be interesting; something from their training days would also be pretty interesting. I'm also into an AU where Hersh lives and joins TM and has to start taking orders from Shaw; perhaps because Shaw's the one to vouch for him and Finch says "fine, he's your problem now"?
Michael Cole & Sameen Shaw – Again, lots of history here! I'd love to see another of their missions before the one that goes south; alternatively, Cole lives and joins TM (at some point; it doesn't have to be immediately).
Kelli Lin/Sameen Shaw – Kelli Lin is the Olympic gymnast-turned-cat-burglar in 3x14, "Provenance". I love the little arc that she and Shaw go through here, and I'd love to see an interlude where they act on the attraction between them (even knowing it's temporary). Or perhaps they part as per canon and Kelli finds a reason to come back to NYC some day to visit Shaw?
Tomas Koroa/Sameen Shaw – Similar to above, Tomas Koroa is a thief that works with Shaw for an episode. Shaw is clearly tempted by him and his lifestyle; what if she leaves for a time to do a heist? This kind of sidesteps her being hunted/captured by Samaritan, so maybe that's too big of an AU for this exchange. (Still, it'd be interesting!) Other than that, maybe they take a few minutes to themselves during the episode. Shaw and Root are dancing around each other at this point, so maybe that's a consideration for Shaw.
Joss Carter/Zoe Morgan/Sameen Shaw – The ultimate backdrop for this relationship is 3x03, "Lady Killer", IMO, but honestly this could work at any point between Shaw coming on the scene and Carter's death. Alternately, I am always here for a Carter Lives AU! Maybe Joss/Zoe is an established pairing that decide to bring in Shaw; maybe their antics during Lady Killer bring the three of them together for the first time.
Lionel Fusco & Sameen Shaw – I love the faux-antagonistic relationship they have, where they're publicly exasperated/annoyed with each other – but have each other's back when it counts. I'd love to see them at any point after Shaw joins TM - perhaps a scene after Shaw protects Lee/Carter dies where they try to hash out their complicated feelings about the situation. Or, since they both survive, something post-canon where Fusco reluctantly helps Shaw with whatever she decides to do with the numbers.
Control & Harold Finch – They have a weird kind of detente with each other, highlighted when Control decides to try and protect Finch during the Vigilance trial. Like a lot of characters, she might have started out on the opposing side but actually has more in common with Team Machine than she thinks. Anything with these two – expansion of canon, or AU where she actually throws her lot in with Finch – would be very interesting to see!

Non-canonical major character deaths

1. Mordin Solus/Aria T'Loak, Mordin Solus/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya

For both of these: I am okay with either a mostly asexual Mordin, where the relationship is more about feelings than physical intimacy; and a sexual one where Mordin seeks to please his partner. I really like the idea of him using his omni-tool to get either Aria or Tali off, if that's something you feel inclined to run with.

Mordin/Aria: There's a lot more between Mordin and Aria than is shown on screen. I'd love to see how Aria dealt with Mordin coming to Omega in the first place, and maybe some exploration of Mordin's motives. I'm also just here for how they interact with each other, how Aria bends enough to let Mordin close to her. Maybe they only realize what they meant to each other after Mordin leaves with Shepard, and then comes back later?

Mordin/Tali: They have more in common than not, even if they are nerdy about different things. Maybe Mordin offers to help Tali improve her suit in some manner? I'd love to see them bonding over some sort of techie project, friendship developing into something more - both of them thinking that they can't be together because their own species need them, but finding something good anyways (even if it's for a short period of time).

2. Kirrahe/Mordin Solus, Karin Chakwas/Mordin Solus

Kirrahe/Mordin: For this one, you can either go strictly platonic or tweak canon to make their relationship include sex. Working together during their STG days – butting heads and then eventually coming to respect each other. Maybe they keep in touch afterwards, steal moments together whenever they can. A reunion during ME3, after Sur’Kesh – maybe Kirrahe comes on the Normandy for a time and sees Mordin there. They bury whatever hatchets lay between them because the Reapers make everything uncertain. Maybe that’s their first time together? Mordin lives or dies during ME3, your choice.

Chakwas/Mordin: I am okay with either a mostly asexual Mordin, where the relationship is more about feelings than physical intimacy; and a sexual one where Mordin seeks to please his partner. I really like the idea of him using his omni-tool to get Chakwas off, if that's something you feel inclined to run with.

Both of them are doctors who've been in the military (-ish, for STG, but it's close enough) and have a lot of interesting stories to tell. Maybe Mordin seeks to ease some of the burden Chakwas is under; maybe he helps with the crew after the Collector base mission -- or maybe she helps him with the genophage work in ME3.

3. Greg Adams/Karin Chakwas, Karin Chakwas/Zaeed Massani

Adams/Chakwas: That scene in 3 where Chakwas confesses to Adams that she’s not okay with what happened on the Collector Base… right in the feels! That clearly shows that Chakwas trusts him enough to tell him the truth. Does Adams feel guilty for not having been there to help her? Were they an item before or does that only start when he returns to the Normandy?

Chakwas/Zaeed: Zaeed respects Chakwas for not treating him with kid gloves. Chakwas find herself charmed despite his coarse manners. Yeah, it might be a bit of a cliche, but opposites attract and it leads to something pretty hot -- and maybe sweet, too. (In other words, I'll really take just about anything here :D)

4. Female Shepard/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, Ashley Williams/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya

F!Shep/Tali: Tali is basically canonically into F!Shep; run with it! Tali owes Shep so much, maybe there's a case of hero worship at first, but I really want it to be a relationship between equals. Tali is also a constant in Shepard's life and I'd imagine that's comforting, especially as things get increasingly complicated in 3.

Ashley/Tali: Ash and Tali have been on Shepard's side since the beginning (well, kind of not in 2, but let's skip over that for now) -- how do they come to be close to each other? They both have a lot of pressure to live up to their family legacies, I'd imagine that could be a place for them to start bonding.

5. Female Shepard/Aria T'Loak, Nyreen Kandros/Aria T'Loak

F!Shep/Aria: Two strong personalities -- I can easily see them clashing before eventually falling in bed together, heated tempers leading to another kind of heat all together. How does Aria really feel about taking Shepard's directions during Omega?

Nyreen/Aria: How they got together, and how they broke up (all the angst, delicious angst). Aria’s reaction to Nyreen’s death. Or Nyreen lives and they finally get back together for good. Some possessive!Aria would be great in that scenario. Perfectly ok to address Nyreen’s fears of being swallowed up by Aria, as long as it doesn’t actually happen.

6. Garrus Vakarian/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, Greg Adams/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya

Garrus/Tali: I really, really want to know more than what we saw in that one scene in 3. How long had that been going on? They’re both awkward nerds so who the hell made the first move? There’s an implication that it was Tali, just “using him”, and I’d love to see it become more than that. This is also a great opportunity to have the crew scheming to matchmake them.

Adams/Tali: Adams goes through a lot of changes from 1 to 3; I'd love to see how that translates into his feelings about Tali. They both have a lot of engineering expertise, which he notes right away in ME1. Maybe they got close in ME1 but never took things a step farther, and one of them decides to make the first move in ME3 because the stakes are higher.

7. Garrus Vakarian/Ashley Williams, Female Shepard/Garrus Vakarian/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya

Garrus/Ashley: Both of them step out of Shepard's shadow over the course of the trilogy, and they're better for it - and they both overcome their family legacies and prejudices about other races while they do it. I'd love to see how that character growth also leads them to get closer to each other. Maybe they get into a (friendly) argument about which gun is the best, and the heat of the moment leads to more heat.

F!Shep/Garrus/Tali: This feels like the ultimate organic OT3, where all of them realize about the same time that their feelings are more than friendship. Garrus and Tali have always been there for Shepard, and that loyalty runs both ways. A cute idea could be platonic cuddle piles that start evolving into makeout sessions, and then even more.

8. Nakmor Drack/Lexi T'Perro, Nakmor Drack/Urdnot Wrex

Drack/Lexi: Drack decides he doesn’t mind the hot asari doctor flirting with him, and eventually taking him to bed. He’s learned to take his pleasures where he can, after all. I’d love to see something that starts as casual and becomes more serious eventually. Kesh is thrilled to turn the tables on Drack, after his reaction to Vorn, and teases him mercilessly. Drack having to deal with Kesh’s kids and his own asari offspring at the same time.

9. Jaal Ama Darav/Liam Kosta/Female Ryder, Jaal Ama Darav/Peebee/Female Ryder

So many great ways this could go! Duo to triad (any duo to start with), or Jaal and (Liam or Peebee) have been rivals for FemRyder’s attention and decide they’re okay with sharing. I’d especially love Peebee continuing to tease Jaal about possibly being able to mate with him. Shameless three-way smut, or Jaal bringing both of them home to his mothers.

10. Peebee/Female Ryder, Zevin Raeka/Female Ryder

Peebee/F!Ryder: My first Andromeda romance, and I still love Peebee to death. My Ryder was equal parts exasperated and intrigued by Peebee when they first met and it went from there. They’re both nerds, even if Peebee’s a bit more consistently enthusiastic about it. Just let Peebee be her outgoing, enthusiastic, somewhat dorky self and I'm good. If you're feeling adventurous, they could try to use some of Peebee's Remnant research to spice things up in the bedroom.

Raeka/F!Ryder: Ryder has a lot weighing on her, and Raeka is someone who could be her equal - and possibly with a lot weighing on her too, since salarian females are usually supposed to be kept safe and not in the midst of the action! I'd love to see them being adventurous together, either during or after Andromeda.

I hope there’s something in here that sparks your imagination! I’m okay with everything from platonic friendship/fluff to PWP - whatever you’re best at or speaks to you the most. I’d rather have something that you found enjoyable and fun to write than be overly restrictive with my preferences.

Requested Relationships

1. Female Adaar/Shokrakar
Female Adaar/Vivienne
Female Adaar/Sten
(Bucket: Female Adaar/Sera/Shokrakar)

-Shokrakar seems like a pretty cool person - I would love to see her show up at Skyhold, at any point during her quest line (though I think I have a preference for afterwards). Maybe she and Adaar were friends with benefits while Adaar was a member of the Valo-Kass; maybe they see each other in a new light after all the changes that have happened. If you include Sera, I'd be interested in either an established relationship (Adaar/Sera adds in Shokrakar), or Sera and Adaar haven't committed to one another yet and Shokrakar makes things more complicated until they solve things with poly. Sera's VERY into hot qunari ladies, feel free to play that up!

-For Vivienne, I'd love to see her with a mage Adaar -- at first, they don't understand each other since one's an apostate and one's a Circle mage, but they realize that they can complement one another in the field, and find common ground in more than one area. Maybe Viv gives Adaar some etiquette lessons before Halamshiral, which leads to them bonding and eventually falling for one another. It’d be awesome to see the decisive moment in their relationship (when they realize they want to be together) be at Halamshiral in front of everyone.

2. Fiona/Vivienne
Fiona/Wynne
Flemeth/Wynne

Experienced Mage Ladies FTW! I just want to see them getting together, comparing notes -- maybe they're like two cats circling each other at first, but then genuine respect and liking overcomes wariness.

For Fiona/Vivienne, I'd prefer to see their encounter at Skyhold. For Fiona/Wynne and Flemeth/Wynne, I'm okay with any timeline. Maybe Wynne runs into Flemeth during her misspent youth? Maybe Fiona and Wynne bond after Fiona is cured of the Taint and returns to the Circle?

3. Andraste/Leliana
Herren/Wade
Female Brosca/Sten
(Bucket: Greagoir/Wynne)

-During the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest, while they're at Haven, Leliana gets a visit from Andraste herself. Perhaps it's during the Gauntlet; perhaps it's afterwards after the Warden takes the pinch of ashes (I really can't see this working if the Warden defiles the ashes). Does Andraste wants to reward her faithful follower? Does she want to convince Leliana to cut back on the worship thing? Another interesting time could be after Leliana's personal quest in Inquisition -- maybe Andraste comes to comfort her after she says goodbye to Justinia; maybe Andraste tries to get her to listen to Justinia's words and soften her stance.

-Herren and Wade are such an old married couple, I love them so much. I'd be interested to see how they manage the chaos of Denerim and later Amaranthine, Herren trying to keep Wade aware of the circumstances that AREN'T strictly related to the crafting of armor and weapons.

-Another obligatory "I love Sten" request - how does Brosca break down his walls to reveal the softie underneath, and what does Sten think about this infuriating woman who breaks all his preconceived notions about the world? (Okay, I gave you a bit of a hint there, but I'm still open to other ideas!) I'm ok with either a bittersweet parting at the end of Origins (possibly with Brosca's death) or one of them making a sacrifice to stay with the other.

-It's pretty much confirmed (at least to me) that Greagoir is the father of Wynne's son Rhys, so ... what was that relationship like back in the day? How did things evolve into mutual respect? How does Greagoir feel about Wynne running off to help the Warden during the Blight?

4. Female Hawke/Isabela/Merrill
Fenris/Donnic Hendyr/Isabela/Aveline Vallen
Isabela/Merrill
(Bucket: Fenris/Isabela)

-I see F!Hawke/Isabela/Merrill as being an organic poly relationship rather than a 2+1, if that makes sense. Hawke flirts with them both and refuses to choose, and they’re on board with that. It’d be great to see Merrill getting involved with the Qunari tangle at the end of Act 2 as well as Hawke.

-You can tell that Isabela genuinely cares for Merrill. I can easily see Isabela taking the role of gentle teacher, trying to help Merrill without breaking her optimism and positivity. Maybe it starts as Isabela deciding that Merrill needs to learn a few things about how to please a woman, and ends with Isabela unable to give Merrill up.

-Since Fenris and Isabela get together if Hawke doesn't romance either of them, I'd definitely be interested to see a little more of that relationship. It's implied that it's somewhat of a FWB relationship, but like I keep saying, I love seeing what happens when real feelings start to creep in!

It'd also be really interesting to see their dynamic when Donnic and Aveline are added to the mix. Donnic and Fenris become friends, as do Aveline and Isabela. I'm interested in any of the combinations of this foursome, up to and including everyone in the same bed, but my only request is that everyone is on board with what happens. Some healthy communication and poly negotiation would be fun.

5. Alistair/Female Cousland/Anora Mac Tir
Alistair/Female Cousland/Leliana
Female Aeducan/Alistair/Anora Mac Tir
(Bucket: Alistair/Female Amell/Anora Mac Tir)

-Power trios time! Alistair and Amell/Cousland/Aeducan get to have their cake and eat it too -- or maybe they weren't together during the Blight, but the process of actually ruling Ferelden brings them together, following Alistair's marriage to Anora. An Aeducan or an Amell has just as much of a potential leadership role as a Cousland. Please make sure that Anora is an equal partner in all of this, I think she's a great character and that she and Alistair would actually get along well after the awkwardness of their situation wears off.

-For the variant with Leliana, I'd love for this to be another 'organic' poly relationship as they all grow closer together on their quest. Leliana stays with the married couple after the end of the Blight, with some official role at court (Spymaster???), and it's an open secret that she shares the bed of the King and Queen.

6. Dagna/Female Aeducan
Ser Cauthrien/Anora Mac Tir
Sigrun/Velanna
(Bucket: Anora Mac Tir/Female Tabris)

-Dagna and F!Aeducan have a forbidden romance in Orzammar, both of them dreaming for something they can never have. Everything changes when Aeducan leaves, then comes back – what is their reunion like? How does Aeducan feel about Dagna going to the Circle, and then later working with the Inquisition?

-Ser Cauthrien is extremely loyal to Loghain, which makes me think she's spent plenty of time with Anora as well. Maybe there've been situations where Ser Cauthrien has to guard Anora, which could potentially lead to a bodyguard crush. Regardless of the exact scenario, they're both strong women, and I'd imagine they have more in common than not.

-Sigrun and Velanna are two somewhat prickly ladies with more in common than not. I can easily see a mutual respect turning into something more. Perhaps you could show them gradually growing closer during the events of Awakening, or maybe show how they forge a new path together afterwards.

-I'd be interested to see a non-Warden Tabris interacting with Anora, perhaps after Anora becomes Queen and starts improving conditions in the Alienage. If you want to go with a Warden, Tabris probably has a bit of a chip on her shoulder because of Loghain's involvement with the mess in the Alienage - maybe Anora starts trying to show that she won't do the same thing that her father did, maybe she angrily accuses Tabris of confusing her with her father. Or, really, anything that gets these two growing closer together :)

7. Isabela/Josephine Montilyet
Female Cadash/Josephine Montilyet
Leliana/Josephine Montilyet
(Bucket: Female Adaar/Josephine Montilyet)

-I would love to see Josephine being charmed by her clever, roguish suitor, whether that’s Cadash/Adaar or Isabela. Both of them would ham it up during the duel, IMO, and make sure that they stay with Josie in the post-Inquisition/post-Trespasser period. (Isabela and Josie go pirate?)

-With Leliana and Josie, you can tell there’s an enormous amount of respect and friendship between the two of them. Being in such close proximity during the events of Inquisition… it becomes more than just simple friendship.

8. Leliana/Josephine Montilyet/Cassandra Pentaghast
Female Hawke/Isabela/Aveline Vallen
Bianca/Vex'ahlia (Critical Role)
(Bucket: Leliana/Morrigan)

-Lady Power Trio: Skyhold Edition! The three of them worked so well together, again I'm all for that mutual respect/friendship gradually evolving into something more. Or maybe they're just blowing off steam (and it gets serious on them).

-Aveline and Isabela bicker all the time. Hawke tells them to get a room. She doesn’t expect them to actually do it, nor to have them invite her to join. Alternately, it’s Aveline who makes the crack about getting a room to F!Hawke and Isabela (either before or after they hook up for the first time).

-Bianca/Vex'ahlia is extremely self-indulgent Laura Bailey appreciation. Vex finds her way into Thedas, somehow (handwaving is totally ok) and meets up with Bianca. An appreciation for how clever the other one is leads to things getting hot and heavy.

-Leliana and Morrigan didn’t get along at all during Origins, but they find themselves moving in similar circles by the time Inquisition comes around. They’ve both matured and changed and find their old bickering doesn’t matter anymore. Leliana gives the Inquisitor a positive review of Morrigan instead of a negative one, and respect turns into something more.

9. Female Cousland/Nathaniel Howe
Bethany Hawke/Nathaniel Howe
Nathaniel Howe/Velanna
(Bucket: Nathaniel Howe/Sigrun/Velanna)

-Nathaniel and Cousland knew each other growing up. Maybe they fooled around a little, and maybe it was serious. Maybe their parents had just about finalized negotiations for their marriage. But everything’s completely changed when Cousland finds Nathaniel in the dungeon. She’s wondering where the sensitive boy she used to know went; he resents her for destroying his family. Lots of angst and misunderstandings that eventually culminates in them winding up in bed together – which makes things even *more* awkward for a time, until they get it straightened out.

-Bethany and Nathaniel joined the Wardens because they had no other choice. Both feel somewhat the un-favorite in their family. They start to bond over their shared experiences and it becomes serious.

Requested Characters/Relationships

Root/Sameen Shaw – Just let them be happy together already. A Root Lives AU would be great, but I’d settle for even a single encounter outside of a simulation where they go to town on each other. Season 3, 4, 5, or post-canon – your choice, although I’ll tentatively register a preference for post-canon. I would also be interested to see what you come up with in the No Machine AU setting we saw at the end of S5.
The Machine/Root/Sameen Shaw – Tricky, but one that I would absolutely love to see. I’m sure that Shaw knows that she takes The Machine along with Root, but maybe she didn’t expect TM to be such an active participant in their sex life.
Joss Carter (Character) – Carter Lives AU. Perhaps she and Taylor have to leave town to start a new life elsewhere; perhaps Fusco dies in her place (not that I don’t like Fusco, just if you feel like there needs to be some kind of sacrifice at that narrative point, pick Fusco) and she gets to be a full asset.
Joss Carter & Lionel Fusco -- I really love seeing these two work together after they're both read in on TM and will gladly take anything that focuses on their partnership.
John Reese/Zoe Morgan – Two smart, competent people who each respect the other one, giving them space and not asking too many questions? Yes please. Although I’d love it if Zoe got read in on TM at some point. How does she react; how does that affect things with Reese?
John Reese/Lionel Fusco - There's a lot of potential for sexual tension in their early encounters. I could easily see it being a case of "I don't actually like you, I just want to jump your bones", which maaaaybe turns into real feelings? :D
John Reese & Sameen Shaw – Mayhem Twins going to town on bad guys. Gunfire, explosions – the works! Reese gently needling Shaw about her relationship with Root; Shaw turns the tables and teases him about (Finch, Zoe, Iris).
Carl Elias (Character) – Look, I need to know how Elias reacted to being told about The Machine. He’s such a great character, evolving from an enemy to a reluctant ally to a (nearly) fully fledged member of the team. I would love to see something from Elias’ POV as he realizes how much bigger than him this whole thing is.

I hope there’s something in here that sparks your imagination! I’m okay with everything from platonic friendship/fluff to PWP - whatever you’re best at or speaks to you the most. I’d rather have something that you found enjoyable and fun to write than be overly restrictive with my preferences.

Requested Relationships

1. Female Shepard/Aria T'Loak, Nyreen Kandros/Aria T'Loak

F!Shep/Aria: Two strong personalities -- I can easily see them clashing before eventually falling in bed together, heated tempers leading to another kind of heat all together. How does Aria really feel about taking Shepard's directions during Omega?

Nyreen/Aria: How they got together, and how they broke up (all the angst, delicious angst). Aria’s reaction to Nyreen’s death. Or Nyreen lives and they finally get back together for good. Some possessive!Aria would be great in that scenario. Perfectly ok to address Nyreen’s fears of being swallowed up by Aria, as long as it doesn’t actually happen.

2. Female Shepard/Ashley Williams, Female Shepard/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya

F!Shep/Ashley: FShep challenges Ash to break out of her “humans first” attitude but also accepts her for who she is. Perhaps Ash and FShep only get together for the first time during 3; if that’s the case, how have they both changed in the time they’ve been apart and how do those changes make them work as a couple now?

F!Shep/Tali: Tali is basically canonically into F!Shep; run with it! Tali owes Shep so much, maybe there's a case of hero worship at first, but I really want it to be a relationship between equals. Tali is also a constant in Shepard's life and I'd imagine that's comforting, especially as things get increasingly complicated in 3.

3. Female Shepard/Samantha Traynor, Samantha Traynor/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya

For Science! Traynor is so smart and inquisitive, I can easily see her and Tali working on a project together and having that lead to friendship (and something more). If you go with F!Shep, I'd love her to be geeky in some way as well. Just let the nerds nerd out and I'll be happy.

4. Ashley Williams/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, Gianna Parasini/Samantha Traynor

Ashley/Tali: Ash and Tali have been on Shepard's side since the beginning (well, kind of not in 2, but let's skip over that for now) -- how do they come to be close to each other? They both have a lot of pressure to live up to their family legacies, I'd imagine that could be a place for them to start bonding.

Gianna/Traynor: Competency kink! Gianna shows how badass she is in 1 and 2; what does she get up to in 3 and how does it bring her into Traynor's orbit? Or perhaps they know each other outside of the Normandy/Shepard, since Traynor's colony born.

5. Avela Kjar/Female Ryder, Zevin Raeka/Female Ryder

Avela/F!Ryder: Another instance of "let nerds be nerdy together". Avela Kjar is awesome and deserves more than a "side" romance in Andromeda, so please feel free to flesh her out more! What if she finds her way to the Tempest?

Zevin Raeka/F!Ryder: Ryder has a lot weighing on her, and Raeka is someone who could be her equal - and possibly with a lot weighing on her too, since salarian females are usually supposed to be kept safe and not in the midst of the action! I'd love to see them being adventurous together, either during or after Andromeda.

6. Peebee/Female Ryder, Suvi Anwar/Female Ryder

F!Ryder/Peebee: For this one, I’d really love it if you could use my Ryder, Sallah (Logical/Professional). Stuff on her here (http://keita52.tumblr.com/tagged/Sallah-Ryder). (Because she looks like a younger Captain Dunn, I headcanoned that she’s Dunn’s niece, if you want to work that in – either Ellen or Alec’s sister, both work for me.) She was equal parts exasperated and intrigued by Peebee when they first met and it went from there. They’re both nerds, even if Peebee’s a bit more consistently enthusiastic about it.

Suvi/F!Ryder: TBH if you want to use Sallah for this one too, that’s cool! Just two science nerds being total dorks totally in love and not caring one bit about what other people think. Experiments with Andromeda flora and fauna that have hilarious (and not life-threatening) results – perhaps even aphrodisiac results? ;)

7. Suvi Anwar/Peebee, Suvi Anwar/Vetra Nyx

Suvi/Peebee: Anything! Suvi and Peebee teaming up to run wacky scientific experiments or explore new areas on Andromeda, and it brings them closer together. One of their experiments goes wrong and they have to team up to figure it out. Suvi and Peebee tweak other members of the Tempest crew for a laugh.

Suvi/Vetra: They both have this great sense of daring and adventure, I'd love to see them out exploring the wilds of Andromeda together. Maybe Vetra has to 'guard' Suvi while she's out on a hunt, and shenanigans ensue?

8. Vetra Nyx/Female Ryder, Nakmor Kesh/Vetra Nyx

Vetra/Kesh: KESH. Such a great character, very good, very no-nonsense. She and Vetra make such a great team. I’d love to see that respect spilling over into something more (slow burn would be great). Please don’t bash Vorn; you can leave him out or work Kesh’s decision to pair up with him into the story as long as Vetra/Kesh is still the focus.

9. Kallo Jath/Zevin Raeka, Jaal Ama Darav/Avela Kjar

Kallo/Raeka: I’m a sucker for arranged marriage tropes, so what if the Jath and Raeka families somehow decide that these two need to pair up? Raeka being a bit put out that her family expects her to start producing eggs when there’s so much work to do. Kallo having a strong attachment to the human Pathfinder and not wanting to shirk his duties. And then the two of them overcoming their doubts and finding some kind of happiness with one another…

Avela/Jaal: Another "arranged marriage special"! You get to hear gossip on Aya about Jaal’s relationship status (mainly, the lack thereof). Maybe there’s arranged marriage traditions among angara, and Jaal is fed up with his mothers’ attempts to set him up with a “nice young woman” so he chooses Avela instead, because she’s attached to her work and is also feeling the pressure of being matched up. Nice, uncomplicated, no feelings … until feelings start to creep in.

Or the more straightforward approach: Jaal gets to know Avela because of Ryder’s visits to the Repository of History, and (once again) feelings ensue.

10. Kirrahe/Mordin Solus, Nakmor Drack/Urdnot Wrex

Kirrahe/Mordin: For this one, you can either go strictly platonic or tweak canon to make their relationship include sex. Working together during their STG days – butting heads and then eventually coming to respect each other. Maybe they keep in touch afterwards, steal moments together whenever they can. A reunion during ME3, after Sur’Kesh – maybe Kirrahe comes on the Normandy for a time and sees Mordin there. They bury whatever hatchets lay between them because the Reapers make everything uncertain. Maybe that’s their first time together? Mordin lives or dies during ME3, your choice.

Drack/Wrex: Cranky old krogans unite! Both of them have Seen Some Shit. They get smashed together before Clan Nakmor leaves with the Initiative, trade stories, try to top one another as far as who did the most outrageous thing. Or maybe they fought/worked together at one point. Drack gives Wrex a hand in the 2183-2185 period as Wrex works to unite the clans.

I hope there’s something in here that sparks your imagination! I’m okay with everything from platonic friendship/fluff to PWP - whatever you’re best at or speaks to you the most. I’d rather have something that you found enjoyable and fun to write than be overly restrictive with my preferences.

1. Dragon Age (Arranged Noble Marriages)

Relationships & Prompts

Alistair/F!Tabris/F!Cousland: I’m ok with either a dual-Warden setup or a non-Warden Cousland. Alistair and Cousland have to marry for political reasons, but Alistair doesn’t want to give up Tabris. Tabris and Cousland eventually come to an understanding.

Alistair/Non-Warden F!Cousland: Another “marry for political reasons”; Cousland survived her family’s murder without becoming a Warden and participates in the Landsmeet. Anora’s suspected to be infertile/her father is a traitor, so let’s give Cousland a try. And then, oops! Real feelings!!

Briala/F!Trevelyan/Celene, F!Trevelyan/Celene: Turns out the best way to stabilize Orlais is by having Trevelyan and Celene get married. Your choice whether Briala fits in or not.

F!Cousland/Anora: Anora needs Cousland’s support to hold the throne. They can always adopt an heir, right? Another “arranged marriage turns into real feelings”.

F!Cousland/Teagan: Alistair’s unavailable for one reason or another, and Cousland needs an heir to secure her position as Queen of Ferelden. Warden or non-Warden, your choice.

F!Aeducan/Varric: Warden or non-Warden Aeducan arrives at Kirkwall because the new Viscount needs a bride. Varric doesn’t like the idea but has to because of Reasons. And then, Real Feelings!

Requested Relationships

1. Greg Adams/Karin Chakwas, Karin Chakwas/Adrien Victus

Adams/Chakwas: That scene in 3 where Chakwas confesses to Adams that she’s not okay with what happened on the Collector Base… right in the feels! That clearly shows that Chakwas trusts him enough to tell him the truth. Does Adams feel guilty for not having been there to help her? Were they an item before or does that only start when he returns to the Normandy?

Chakwas/Victus: I'd love to see a developing relationship between the two of them while Victus is on the Normandy. He's lost his son and been thrust into a position of power he wasn't prepared for -- what drives him to seek Chakwas' company? What does she see in him that sparks her interest? How do they handle the inevitable separation? What happens after the Reaper War? I can see this one being a bit bittersweet, where they have a good time together but have to content themselves with less after Victus leaves the Normandy.

2. Karin Chakwas/Steven Hackett, Karin Chakwas/Zaeed Massani

Chakwas/Hackett: I'd imagine they have a long relationship, with them both being old hands in the Alliance. I'm up for them being an on-and-off thing throughout the years, or it's only when Chakwas comes on the Normandy and Hackett starts taking a serious interest in Shepard that things spark between them. Again, how do they balance their relationship with their competing duties? Show me what it looks like when they're able to steal a moment together.

Chakwas/Zaeed: Zaeed respects Chakwas for not treating him with kid gloves. Chakwas find herself charmed despite his coarse manners. Yeah, it might be a bit of a cliche, but opposites attract and it leads to something pretty hot -- and maybe sweet, too. (In other words, I'll really take just about anything here :D)

3. Karin Chakwas/Septimus Oraka, Miranda Lawson/Garrus Vakarian

Chakwas/Oraka: I love Oraka, so I'm game for pretty much anything here. Perhaps Shepard is too busy in ME1 and delegates Chakwas to shake some sense into Oraka, and he realizes that the Consort isn't the only one who has captured his attention. I'd love to see some kind of long-distance wooing, with Chakwas being exasperated at first and eventually warming to the idea, so they start stealing time together when they're both on the Citadel.

Miranda/Garrus: Miranda’s trying to set herself up as Shepard’s right hand, but Garrus kind of already had that position in 1. They’re at each other’s throats until the anger spills over into angry sex. Then it turns out they have more in common than they thought, with their fathers pushing them to be something they aren’t. How long can they keep up the pretense that they really can’t stand one another before the truth comes out?

4. Female Shepard/Ashley Williams, Miranda Lawson/Female Shepard

Honestly? For both of these, I’m not coming up with anything much besides “just make them femslash instead of het”. FShep challenges both of them to break out of their “humans first” attitudes, but also accepts them for who they are instead of pressuring them to meet impossible standards. Perhaps Ash and FShep only get together for the first time during 3; if that’s the case, how have they both changed in the time they’ve been apart and how do those changes make them work as a couple now?

5. Kirrahe/Mordin Solus, Nakmor Drack/Urdnot Wrex

Kirrahe/Mordin: For this one, you can either go strictly platonic or tweak canon to make their relationship include sex. Working together during their STG days – butting heads and then eventually coming to respect each other. Maybe they keep in touch afterwards, steal moments together whenever they can. A reunion during ME3, after Sur’Kesh – maybe Kirrahe comes on the Normandy for a time and sees Mordin there. They bury whatever hatchets lay between them because the Reapers make everything uncertain. Maybe that’s their first time together? Mordin lives or dies during ME3, your choice.

Drack/Wrex: Cranky old krogans unite! Both of them have Seen Some Shit. They get smashed together before Clan Nakmor leaves with the Initiative, trade stories, try to top one another as far as who did the most outrageous thing. Or maybe they fought/worked together at one point. Drack gives Wrex a hand in the 2183-2185 period as Wrex works to unite the clans.

6. Liam Kosta/Female Ryder, Nakmor Kesh/Vorn

Liam/F!Ryder: Liam has such ups and downs in Andromeda, I'd love to see Ryder being there for him and giving him a dose of reality or a pick-me-up, as required by the situation. A steady Ryder could be an interesting contrast to Liam's personality, or they could be two peas in a pod and everyone else groans as they see what they get up to.

Kesh/Vorn: What did Drack miss while he was running around with Ryder? Why did Kesh choose Vorn, and how does Vorn feel about being so chosen? I love that he has kind of non-krogan job/interests. I'd also love a slice-of-life with these two, either before or after Kesh has her babies.

7. Suvi Anwar/Peebee, Vetra Nyx/Peebee

Suvi/Peebee: Anything! Suvi and Peebee teaming up to run wacky scientific experiments or explore new areas on Andromeda, and it brings them closer together. One of their experiments goes wrong and they have to team up to figure it out. Suvi and Peebee tweak other members of the Tempest crew for a laugh.

Vetra/Peebee: Vetra might start off being annoyed by Peebee, but eventually comes to respect her unorthodox manners and her boundless creative energy. How does Vetra communicate her interest? Perhaps Peebee figures it out before she lets her feelings show to Vetra, having a little bit of fun with Vetra before putting her out of her misery.

8. Jaal Ama Darav/Peebee, Jaal Ama Darav/Peebee/Female Ryder

Jaal/Peebee: Jaal gets tired of Peebee's constant teasing and dares her to actually go through with it. Does she, or is she taken aback and needs more time to consider? Bickering/teasing to UST to hot hot sex ... or anything else you come up with ;)

Jaal/Peebee/F!Ryder: So many great ways this could go! Duo to triad (either duo to start with), or Jaal and Peebee have been rivals for FemRyder’s attention and decide they’re okay with sharing. I’d especially love Peebee continuing to tease Jaal about possibly being able to mate with him. Shameless three-way smut, or Jaal bringing both of them home to his mothers.

9. Vetra Nyx/Female Ryder, Nakmor Kesh/Vetra Nyx

Or the more straightforward approach: Jaal gets to know Avela because of Ryder’s visits to the Repository of History, and (once again) feelings ensue.

I hope there’s something in here that sparks your imagination! I’m okay with everything from platonic friendship/fluff to PWP - whatever you’re best at or speaks to you the most. I’d rather have something that you found enjoyable and fun to write than be overly restrictive with my preferences.

Requested Fandoms & Characters

The Banner Saga: Alette, Iver, Hakon, Oddleif

I’d love to see what happens after the end of the third game, how the small band of survivors works together to rebuild society. It’d be great if the dredge get to be a part of it, though I don’t exactly expect that will be easy! Unless you’re writing the relevant Oddleif prompt, I generally prefer a story where Alette lives, and sides with King Meinolf at the end of 2 (I HATE having to fight Hakon :( )

Alette: Her world, the entire world, has been destroyed and she has to keep being a leader in the aftermath of that. I’d love some exploration of continuing relationship with Oddleif, with Odd being a maternal figure but also one of her followers, and also perhaps Egil if you’re up for continuing that hint of romance. I would also love to see a scenario where an arranged marriage with Ludin is proposed -- what does she think? Does she go for it? What does Ludin think?

Iver: He has a ton of survivor’s guilt over the fact that Rook died, someone who had been a true friend to him -- and now, so many of the other Varl he’s known have died too, and he’s got to have mixed feelings about everything with Eyvind and Juno. I’d love to see him grappling with that, but would prefer some kind of happy or at least hopeful ending rather than him sliding further into depression.

Hakon: What kind of king will he be after everything he’s gone through? The varl were a dying race before the games happened, and they’ve lost so much more by end of 3. Is there a varl kingdom left to rule over? Maybe he works out some kind of co-rulership of a mingled society with Alette?

Oddleif: The exception to “Alette lives”, I’d like to see her growing relationship with Rook and how they navigate being each others’ second loves; how Oddleif helps him deal with his grief over Alette and the leadership he never really wanted. Alternately, I’m happy with something like I prompted for Alette: Odd coming to love Alette as a daughter. I’m also entirely here for more of Oddleif being super-excited over the Horseborn, and her compassion towards the dredge.

Naamah Trilogy (Jacqueline Carey): Snow Tiger, Ten Tigers Dai, Ang Song, Prince Thierry (All)

I made most of the nominations after listening to the first book and being partway through the second, which is why there’s three characters from Ch’in there. (That being said, I have read and reread the whole series as well as the other books in the same universe, so you don’t have to worry about spoilers.)

Snow Tiger: She has a rough road ahead of her, preparing to be Empress after her father and dealing with her dragon-induced adventures. I’m generally here for women being strong, competent leaders so anything you give me in that vein will be completely delightful. I’d also be delighted to see some exploration of who she decides to marry, whether it’s some minor character or an OC.

Ten Tigers Dai: He gets to come a long way from being a lowly stick fighter to, essentially, the Princess’ most trusted bodyguard. How does he deal with that? He stuck by her side through the unusual journey, but I’m betting palace politics/intrigue is an entirely different matter. I’m fine with him doubting the path, and even leaving it, as long as it’s a step that feels true to the character for you. I’d also like to have his (unrequited?) crush on Snow Tiger explored. Does he get over it? Does he confess his feelings? If he does, how does she respond?

Ang Song: Bao’s little sister just really touched my heart. Moirin’s gift gives her the freedom to choose her own path in life -- what does that look like? Does she find a way to travel to Terre d’Ange and Alba? Perhaps she just goes to the capital and meets the princess that her brother helped to save; and maybe Snow Tiger takes Song under her wing.

Thierry de la Courcel: Like Snow Tiger, his adventures have had a profound impact on what kind of ruler he becomes. I want to see him making time for Desiree while doing his best to be a good king, better than his father was. I’d also like to see the person or people that he winds up in love with. (I don’t usually go for M/M, but I’d be interested to see a Thierry/Balthazar encounter or relationship. I loved Balthazar too!)

Alternately, perhaps Moirin’s destiny did lead her to him and they have a romance not unlike Sidonie and Imriel (though not a carbon copy, please!).

Court of Fives: Jessamy, Mis, Kiya, Maraya, Amaya, Bettany, Agalar, Denya (All)

Jessamy: How does she balance her career as an Adversary with her ongoing relationship with Kal? What kind of a mother does she make, when that time comes for the two of them?

Mis: The glimpse of Mis’ family life we got was really neat, I’d love to see that explored a bit more. How do they react to her choices, her being part of the rebellion and then the army? Does she ever get over Dusty? Does Dusty stop being an idiot and realize how amazing Mis is?

Kiya: What does she tell Safarenwe about her father when the girl is old enough? How does she balance her responsibilities to Efea with her duties as a mother? How does she deal with Wenru also being Lord Ottonor?

Maraya: I love how much of a history nerd she is. It’d be great to see more of that explored, her thirst for knowledge and the preservation of it in the new Efea. I’d also be totally down for an alternate view of some things in the series, the things that Jes missed in her preoccupation with the Fives. How did she fall in love with Polodos? How did they manage things at the Least Hill inn for that brief time when it was prospering due to Ro-emnu’s help?

Amaya + Denya: Their little romance was incredibly sweet, and I loved how Jes’ family made Denya feel welcome despite her being a Patron. I’d be interested in seeing some of the events of the trilogy from their perspective, and/or anything that happens as they adjust to the new world.

Bettany + Agalar: Okay, Bright Thrones gave me all the feels for these two. I’m still frustrated that Bett couldn’t see what her sisters were doing, since she knows them so well, but I guess that’s Bett. Agalar is a much more interesting character after reading what he’s actually up to, and I’d be interested to see what happens to them after the novella. That’s a perfect set up for adventures and shenanigans. Does Bett ever try to contact her family, or does she just leave them behind entirely? Do they ever figure out what happened to her? Do they help Agalar’s mother?

Killjoys: Zeph, Fancy Lee, Pree, Gared

So, quick note. The end of S4 was a huge whammy and I don’t really want to see anything in the alternate reality created by the Lady (???) -- I’m mostly requesting this because I’m burning hot on it, and that might not be true next year. So, unlike most of my other fandoms, I’d prefer that you stick to the canon timeline, exploring things from an outsider POV.

Zeph: Oh, Zeph. You weren’t supposed to fall for the idiot hacker. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Zeph/Pippin, maybe an AU where things progressed further before Pip’s death. But really, anything with Zeph being a badass science nerd is a-ok by me!

Fancy Lee: I love his character evolution, from “that loner asshole” to “actually a good guy to have at your back”. I wouldn’t mind seeing some of the major plot points thus far from his POV.

Pree/Gared: An OTP that I really did not see coming at all, and I kind of love that! How the heck does Gared go from stealing Pree’s bar to working for Pree and then *marrying* him? What’s Gared’s actual story?

Wheel of Time: Perrin, Nynaeve, Moiraine, Siuan

Look, I know it’s a kind of bloated series with some flaws, but it’s still pretty much my favorite fantasy series of all-time. Anything goes here -- before, during, or after the books are all good!

Perrin: He’s actually become a leader by the end of the books (I mean, that was his whole arc), but now he’s got to deal with Saldaea, which is totally different from the way things are in the Two Rivers. I’d love to see him struggling to adjust and Faile being there to keep him on track. I also wouldn’t mind seeing their kids, and how things go when they have to start making good on the marriage deals with Elayne.

Nynaeve: My girl! Give me anything with her and Lan in Malkier, or anything with her continuing to be the best damn healer in the world. She’ll never stop learning, and she’ll never let herself be bested on that front, and I adore her for it.

Moiraine + Siuan: Please, please give me some actual Siuan/Moiraine relationship content. During or post-New Spring, or an AU where they never broke up because damn they had such a strong bond in their early years. /p>

Siuan: Fill in the gaps between New Spring and Eye of the World, especially when Siuan becomes Amyrlin. Or Siuan and Gareth Live AU, the way they died in AMoL was kind of anti-climactic.

Moiraine: I’m not saying I don’t buy that she’s in love with Thom, but I’d kind of like to see why, from her perspective. You don’t need to explain how she knew everything that was going to happen to her. I’d like to see her reconnecting with old friends and enemies post-Last Battle, what adventures she gets up to with Thom. A bit more time with her and Lan wouldn’t go amiss either.
