femslash kink 2020
[ Letter will be finished Sunday Monday night, sorry for the delay! ]
Hello friend, it is time for kinky femslash, and my requests have no particular theme besides ladies being sad and horny and making bad decisions. I am so excited to see what you will write for me! If you want inspiration beyond this letter I am also
kimaracretak, where I have a small but reflective-of-things-I-like set of bookmarks, and kimaracretak on 8tracks if you want #aesthetic musical inspiration.
I love all these canons for the worldbuilding and mytharcs as well as their characters and relationships, and I am easy to please as long as you stay away from my DNWs (both general and canon-specific), so don't feel like you Have to write any of my specific prompts. Don't read anything into relative lengths of sections, I am equally happy to get something for anything in this letter! Some of these prompts are reused from old letters, and if you have written them for me before, rest assured that I loved your fic, I am simply greedy and would like to see every possible take on my favourite scenarios. A lot of my prompts are very horror-slanted, but if your muse is inclined to things less murderous, feel free! That being said, I'm extremely not into plotless/conflictless fluff or 'soft' takes on these characters/canons, and would prefer you avoid them.
I love everything from short introspection bits to long plotty missionfic to sex scenes as ways to explore character/setting/worldbuilding, and I don't need a lot of romance in my ships: sex for power, manipulation, or just between friends who want to have fun is also great. Please no unrequested ships unless specifically allowed for, but feel free to combine any compatible ones from my requested ones.

General: Codependent teenage best friends AND not-not sexual obsession with #unavailable older women in positions of authority, I am immensely catered to. Also it's basically the intersection of She's not Me and Battle Cries in f/f canon form, so what's not to love? I'd love something that leans into the fever-dream horror of consumption of it all. All the obsession, all the clinical-sensual interest in what bodies can do, all the levels of genuinely caring (or genuinely hateful!) mentorship that ultimately can't do anything but fail. I love ladies and noir and glitter and murder, you can't disappoint me! Feel free to combine any of these ships for a threesome, V or triad. I've seen and liked the show, so feel free to grab bits from that version of canon if you want. Re: my sex involving under 16s DNW, just don't mention ages.
Addy/Casey: Angsty summer cheer camp hookups yesss. Addy never quite tells us what went on at camp, so I'd love fic exploring that. Or post-canon fic where Addy's captain and Casey is ... a rival captain? Just another tumblr that Addy fucks as a way of saying goodbye to that old life?
Beth/Addy: So ... Beth watching Addy drift away from her and self-destructing so she can blame everything that goes wrong on her own actions and not on how she loves Addy is the best sort of angst, and adding sex into the mix for extra angst? Yes good please. I like the contrast between how in tune with their bodies they are and how not in tune with their emotions they are, so something that plays with that - kinking on pain/using it to bring each other pleasure while also being, like, in wildly different books re: their emotional states. Or make them vampires. You can't tell me you don't love the idea of cheerleading vampires. That whole strength/eternal youth thing combined with their competitiveness? Gimme, especially if the 'should we become vampires/join the Masquerade' conflict is piled on top of their existing issues. Or happy futurefic! I would not say no to college/adult-age Addy & Beth just having a nice day for once, appreciating each other's bodies as they change & grow. Or unhappy futurefic! Addy not being able to sustain the success Beth tried to give her and Beth being fucked up about it, Beth coming to terms with the fact that she succeeded in giving everything to Addy to the extent that she can't figure out what's left, and fucking Addy doesn't actually help her figure it out but she tries anyway.
Beth/RiRi: Using each other as Addy-replacements? Yes. Training sessions that go too far? Also yes. Post-canon, RiRi taunting Beth about not being able to practise with them yet and Beth showing her what she can still do instead? Also yes. Captain Beth ordering RiRi to touch herself, pretending it's about ~gaining experience or something while it's really all about them pushing at each other's limits, what Beth can make her do and what RiRi can make her watch? Also yes. It's one of my rarepairs and I am very hard to disappoint!
Beth/Tacy: Book!Tacy and her willingness to be a pawn for Beth is SO GOOD. Whether she does everything for Beth for a chance to claw her own way into the world or because she genuinely enjoys it, I'd love something that explores that side of her.
Colette/Addy: So all of Addy's fantasising about living with Colette and parenting her daughter? I would be super intrigued by futurefic where they end up finding their way back to each other and trying to make a life together work after everything that's happened (I don't know that it would necessarily work, but I wanna see how they'd try!) Canon-era AUs where they're actually sleeping together would also be interesting - stolen 'practises', comfort sex or bedsharing post-Will's death, AUs where one of them kills Will.
RiRi/Addy: I love the sense of missed-potential with them - anything they might have been was ruined by Addy being Beth's girl. So: something where they get together post-canon, maybe,
General: I don't know what good I did to the universe to get this show in return but wow is this blood-soaked grimly funny chase across London and Russia and half of Europe the show of my dreams. I love how bright Villanelle is in everything she does, I love her twisted undeniable logic and her unstoppable yearning. I think Villanelle/Eve is basically canon, and though I'm leaving it off my request list in favour of my rarer ships, I don't think it's entirely avoidable in fics that aren't pre-canon, and I'm totally here for that sort of conflict between Villanelle's multiple desires pulling her towards conflicting (or perhaps ultimately nonconflicting?) goals. Canon-compliant deathfic for Nadia or Anna is okay, but I am also super into 'character survives and nothing is better' AUs. Explicit Remain-won AUs not necessary as long as I can pretend Remain won and there's no Brexit, but, like, if Bojo meets a bad end and there's definitely no Brexit ever I am really not gonna complain. Feel free to combine any of these into an OT3.
Anna/Eve: A thing that struck me in season 2 is that Eve seems to be a person more comfortable with her own capacity for violence than Villanelle's, while Anna was more comfortable with Villanelle's violence than with her own (I mean, it's definitely relatively speaking in both cases, but ...) and I would LOVE to see that tension explored between them in some kind of Anna-survives AU. Does Anna see Eve as a new Villanelle? A replacement for Villanelle? How much does Eve remind her of her old self, and how much does she wish she could be Eve - to be the current focus of Villanelle's adoration again, even knowing the cost. Does being the object of Eve's affections seem like a good proposition there?
Anna/Villanelle: Messy obsessive mentor/student problems are MY THING and I'm obsessed with all of this - Anna's guilt, Oksana's growing estrangement from what should be as she falls deeper and deeper into what she wants. Pre-canon fic is great - first times, seduction attempts, inappropriate teasing and attempting to play house together, the aftermath of Oksana killing Max (re: my sex-involving-under-16s DNW, you can just not mention her age). Creepily gentle gift-giving is good - Villanelle dressing Anna in lingerie she bought her, or encouraging Anna to do the same to her? Or AU post-s1 where Anna either survives or doesn't attempt suicide at all. Anna comes back wrong. Anna runs away with Villanelle, and they're serial killers on their own with no help from the Twelve (or meet the Twelve later. Or Anna was working for them all along - angst!) Anything using Jordan Reyne's 'The Narcissus' as a prompt.
Nadia/Villanelle: MURDEROUS EXES WHO ALSO WANT TO MURDER EACH OTHER, what a good trope. Nadia brings out the sweet side of Villanelle's poison in a weird way - their scenes together were the only times I started to question if Villanelle ever did see a life for herself outside of the assassin gig. Because, lbr: she is far too invested in performing for Eve to give up killing for Eve, and, genuine desire for normal life or not, Nadia opens up a new possibility for desire that Villanelle is delighted by - and fucking hates. Like, she doesn't know what to do with a want that conflicts with her sense of self but she also doesn't know how to say no to desire, yknow? So of course she kills Nadia but of course she makes it sweet, and of course she asks how Nadia wants to go, and of course she indulges that. All of which is to say: fuck me up, dear author. Tell me about their meetings, their missions, their murder attempts, Nadia's final seconds of life. Or go AU, tell me about their captivity together in Arcadia and how Villanelle sold her out to the True Fae for a way through the Hedge and Nadia has found her own way back and is seeking REVENGE. Or make them vampires. I am never gonna say no to my faves being made vampires.
General: There were so many great ladies on this show and I'm sad none of them really got a lot of screentime together, so - let's change that in fic! I like casefic, I like ladies working together, I like pretending that in New York City more than one woman can prosecute homicide cases at once, I like mid-/post-case office cuddles/makeouts/sex. I am always and forever weak for the 'someone shoots up a courtroom and the ADA has to be comforted after' plots.
Abbie/Serena: I love them because even though their political views are so far apart their legal philosophies actually track pretty closely with each other's - they both have a talent for looking at legal problems and deciding that the solution is simply to become bigger than the problem, which I love. They spend so much time as the 'everyone's a lesbian' afterthought pairing to Alex/Olivia from SVU, and I would love more fic that's actually about them. Does Abbie stay in the DA’s office while Serena moves to homicide? Does ADA Serena meet up with AUSA Abbie and help her on a case? Does Serena work Abbie around to a slightly less conservative way of thinking?
Claire/Elizabeth Olivet: They deserve nice things! I want fic where they win things, get to be fierce and smart and wonderful together. Late nights in the office working on cases together. Claire coming back as a vampire and them figuring out how that changes their relationship. Fun dates in art galleries with no bodies. Any kind of friends-with-benefits/sex to relax after a bad day setup
Nora/Serena: Serena Southerlyn canonically does her paperwork on Nora Lewin's desk and I am more than a little dead about it? (see above, re. mentorship). They have so many great moments ("Everyone’s afraid, Nora, I'm afraid" / the entirety of DR 1-102). Does Serena ever come out to Nora? Does Nora guess? How did Serena get to the point where she does paperwork on Nora’s desk? What’s their relationship like after Nora decides not to run for re-election?
General: I dropped out of the active fandom for this ages ago, and am definitely more of an early-seasons fan (i.e. up to Casey leaving the first time), but if you want to set it somewhere more recent in the timeline, that's cool too! I'm up for anything, from long plotty casefic to office pwp. SVU has a really particular sort of mood, a cold comfort that's not quite bleak and not quite hopeful, and I'm really interested in the ways in which the female lawyers & judges negotiate their particular vocabularies of justice and care. I've seen Conviction but didn't really like it, so feel free to ignore it. If you want to combine any of these into an OT3, feel absolutely free.
Alex/Casey: I love the brief moments they had together and I want more, especially without witness protection hanging over Alex's head. Let her pass on advice and information and connections, let Casey have a sympathetic peer when things get too rough at work. Alternatively, something where they find each other during the time Casey's suspended - turning to Alex to help understand how to put her life with the law on hold.
Alex/Liz: A version of Conviction where Alex's relationship is with Liz instead of that guy, AU where she never goes into witness protection, roleswap (Judge!Alex and ADA!Liz). Some kind of not-friends-but-definitely-with-sex-benefits things, where the point isn't even necessarily sex but just getting out of their own heads for some time.
Alex/Lena:
Liz/Lena: They have a lot of history, and something pre-canon would be really fun to explore.
Olivia/Abbie:
Olivia/Alex:
Olivia/Melinda:
General: I love this messy unapologetic show and how much it loved LA. I never finished Major Crimes (got annoyed with Sharon/Andy, got behind and then uhhh 6.09 happened, which, lolnope) but if it makes sense for your Brenda/Sharon fic to be set in seasons 1-4ish of Major Crimes, go for it! Casefic loved but not necessary. Chief Johnson AUs super loved. Anything and everything about Los Angeles politics and city-as-character. Feel free to make everyone vampires, LA is improved with vampires. I am profoundly neutral re: Fritz, so feel free to go never married/divorced/Brenda's cheating with any level of guilt/he died/something else as you want!
Andrea/Brenda: In no world was Andrea ever prepared for Brenda, and yet - by the end, they were as close to friends as Brenda ever gets with people, and I want more of that! I especially like Brenda at the DA's office for this, Andrea helping her adjust to the new job, but really anything about quiet comfort and coping mechanisms that neither of them will actually call coping mechanisms but love and appreciate anyway.
Brenda/Sharon: Gods ... I love them so much. I love that it takes them so long to like each other even as they believe in each other, I love that even by the end of s7 Brenda would probably find it easier to sleep with Sharon than admit they're friends (sleeping with each other while stridently maintaining that they're not friends: extremely good).
Irene/Brenda: Mentorship dynamics! This can be pre-ship, or even one-sided on Irene's part if you like, I wish we'd gotten more of them together and seen them form the same sort of friendship that Brenda ended up forming with the rest of the team. So maybe something where she takes Gabriel's role for the first couple years, acting as Brenda's liason/support, or where they have to pair up for a case, or Irene comes back to help during s7, or reconnecting and getting together after Brenda joins the DA's office.
General: I much preferred TGW doing legal stories to political stories (the endless identical campaigns were honestly starting to bore me by the end, sorry) and if you do casefic/plotty things I'd prefer legal ones to political ones.
Fandom-specific DNW: Cary or Cary/Kalinda even as mentions, season 7 canon.
Alicia/Rayna: Equally happy with AUs where they have their own firm, or hatesex post-any of the cases they had against each other.
Diane/Kalinda: My absolute everything wrt loyalty/competency kink. Kalinda had an entire notebook just for Diane Things! (I would love a whole fic that's just the contents of Kalinda's Diane Notebook, honestly). Mentorship, care, how messy things get trying to navigate the power differential of a boss/employee relationship when Kalinda is such a nontraditional employee. First meetings, post-canon happyish ending (I'm indifferent to Diane/Kurt, feel free to ignore it, and I haven't seen The Good Fight).
Kalinda/Jenna: Oh Jenna, she's another one I desperately wish we'd seen more of. She was with Kalinda during one of the worst periods of her life when Will died, and then she just? Entirely disappeared? I thought for a while that she was blackmailed/coerced into working for Damian and was expecting Kalinda to figure that out and try to get her away from him, and I'd love that AU. H/c post-Will's death, post-canon Jenna reflecting on her relationship with Kalinda.
Lana/Kalinda: Gods, give them the world. I've never forgiven Cary for outing Lana to her boss, and if you want to pretend that never happened I am more than fine with it. I'd love post-canon catharsis for them - maybe they try living together, maybe they find other ways to have a relationship. Something about their cat-and-mouse games from the earlier seasons would also be great - casefic, investigations, deals for information. Kalinda showing affection in ways other than speaking, things Kalinda has written about Lana in her journals. The ways in which they turn protecting each other into something beneficial rather than smothering.
Rayna Hecht/Elsbeth Tascioni: I wish we'd seen so much more of them! Arguing a case, setting up their office together, interviewing potential private investigators, Rayna comforting Elsbeth after Alicia plays dirty in court, learning from each other, going out for drinks leads to relationship evolution, h/c fic ... really I'm not entirely sure what I want for them except MORE. Established relationship/getting together/post-canon are all equally good!
General: This weird book about fucked-up missionary siblings in clockwork Fairyland snuck into my life and ruined me and I would love to be further ruined by any fic you write! I really, really loved the Changeling!Cathy faux-reveal and was a bit put out by its last-chapter reversal (all books can do with more weird changelings, lbr), so any Changeling!Cathy fic - or fic where she's human but grappling with the fact that she enjoyed elements of the time when she thought she was a soulless creature - is always adored. Canon-compliant deathfic for Ariel is fine - especially if it leads to Mab further manipulating/fucking with Cathy, and Cathy continuing to spiral about her identity, but I am also thrilled by any AU you come up with where she survives or is brought back. Feel free to combine any of these requests to make an OT3. References to/background Cathy/Laon in addition to is fine. Basically, just lean into the WEIRD and I will be super happy!
Ariel/Cathy: I would love some of Ariel's POV on the novel's events - she has a sort of resignation to liminality about her that I find fascinating. What if she had been given more time to convince Cathy she was a Changeling too, or chose to use sex to prove that they're more alike than Cathy wants to admit? What if she tried to sell Cathy to Mab for Laon's safety (or, perhaps, Cathy tries it with her). Resurrection attempts? Mab resurrects her and gives her to Cathy as a present, and they try to figure out what to do with that? Ill-advised wanderings into the depths of Arcadia? We see glimpses of what Changelings think about Cathy and Laon's theology, but what kind of myths and religions of their own have they developed that Ariel and Cathy might stumble into in this land where everything's just a bit too real? Also intrigued by the possibility of them meeting in the mortal world sometime before Cathy travels to Arcadia - what would that meeting look like, what kind of traps might Ariel try to set (at Mab's encouraging?), would Cathy notice something off about her? Ariel and Cathy dressing each other up the morning before the Hunt. Murder is the highest form of aesthetic appreciation in Arcadia, so after the Hunt it falls upon Cathy to resurrect and marry Ariel, because they are obviously destined to be with each other. Some kind of time loop, either while they're waiting for Laon to come back or during the Hunt. Hanahaki disease as body horror, the disease not necessarily because they don't love each other, but because Ariel's a Changeling and Cathy isn't (and what effect would murder have on that?). Killing someone together - Laon? Mr Benjamin? Attempted or temporary murder of Mab, and the consequences?
Ariel/Mab: How was Ariel summoned back from the mundane world? How did Mab 'lay claim' to her changeling - did she get any pushback form other Faerie lords? Did Ariel ever think about defecting to another court, or is that not allowed by Faerie laws? AU where she did defect to another court, and how that influenced her relationships with both Mab and Catherine. Is necromancy possible in Arcadia? Came back wrong fic would be delightful. Ariel - or whatever's left of her - confronting Mab about the Hunt, before or after it happens. Flower- and plant-based body horror, from hanahaki disease or otherwise. Mab seduces Ariel (by murdering other people).
Cathy/Kasdaye: I mean - "Have you not wanted to speak to me all your life?" makes me want pre-Arcadia Cathy dreaming of/dreaming with Kasdaye, but I would also love an AU of the masquerade where Kasdaye does succeed in telling Cathy's fortune, and how everything changes unexpectly from there - would Cathy still kill Ariel, knowing Kasdaye had already seen her do so? Kasdaye trying to take over Ariel's position as Cathy's guide in Arcadia after the Hunt, or time that they spend post-canon together in Pivot. What are Kasdaye's fae friends like, what dream cults might she be a part of, what happens if she brings Cathy deeper into her world? Kasdaye's a super neat temptress-and-oracle fusion that gets right at all the things Cathy's upbringing has taught her to fear, but in a way that's canonically more appealing than Mab's presentation of the forbidden, so I'd love something that plays with that.
Cathy/Mab: Changeling Cathy! Either one where Mab made her before sending her off into the mortal world, or one where Mab decides to turn her into one at some point during/after the events of the book (look ... we don't know how Changelings are made, it's totally possible). I wasn't entirely sold on the 'Arcadia = literally Hell' conceit of the ending, so maybe something where that was Mab's real lie? Human Cathy becomes one of Mab's courtiers in exchange for Laon's life/freedom. But, look, Cathy killed someone she liked to spite Mab, even if Laon's soul was also playing some part in that decision, I am gonna be super into whatever you write for them! Arcadian adventures and rituals, Cathy-as-servant, Cathy-as-toy, Arcadian politicking ... all excellent. Post-canon time in Pivot or Elphane, Cathy discovering Arcadian myths and legends and sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong. What does Arcadian regional horror look like? Mab fucking around with Cathy's dreams - visiting her, pulling elements of her dreams into reality.
Kasdaye/Mab: Pre-canon! I love Queen-and-Lady stuff, and Kasdaye's blood-soaked fortune telling, and how wonderfully, beautifully, awful-in-all-senses-of-the-world fae bodies can be.
General: Shows I did not expect to ruin me: this. Shows that have ruined me: also this. I didn't love season 4 except the very end, and in general would prefer something where Quinn and Rachel are unambiguously on the same side - massive intra-ship dysfunctionality encouraged, but I like their us-against-everything vibe. Mary's canon death can be referenced/included, but if you feel like bringing her back as a vampire I'm not gonna say no (I never say no to vampires).
Rachel/Quinn: I don't ... even know where to start with this. I love them SO MUCH and they love each other SO MUCH and they are SO BAD for each other even when they're trying not to be and yet they're still the realest and best things in each other's lives?? I can't handle it. I want them to win shit. I want them to murder a dude who deserves it. Late-night phone sex during season breaks because they can't be without each other for that long. Rachel falling asleep in Quinn's lap and Quinn gently waking her up with sex. More of them choosing each other and that not meaning they have to deal with shitty men first. I know Rachel is ... Rachel about female authority figures but if there's a person in the world Quinn would sub for it's Rachel Goldberg and them figuring out that entire moment where it shifts from Quinn going 'see what I can make you do to me' to Quinn genuinely giving up some control? Extremly good and hot.
General: I have a deep love for half-dead half-forest women and this show has truly left me spoiled for choice amongst them! Sad cops? Tired medical examiners? Girls with disturbing archery skills? Old bartenders possibly as old as time itself? I love them all! Gimme creepy things in the forest and I have a slight preference for came-back-wrong/never died Marion & Camille over pre-death Marion & Camille, but it's truly slight, I will love anything you write me even if they stay dead!
Camille/Laurène: You may have noticed that 'murder made me ship it' is a common theme in my requests and, look, it's a good trope. Camille dying at Cora's feet whispering I'm sorry about the Major (not 'Laurène' not 'your mother') gave me more feelings about them than I know how to deal with, so I ... humbly request you write me something about them! Things I love: Camille and Laurène meeting in some liminal death-space (especially if Laurene is dying over and over again to stay close to her and coming back worse each time), Laurène making the forest give her Camille back so they can (try to) have some of the conversations they didn't have in life, Camille being desperate to impress Laurène, THE CROWS, Laurène taking advantage of Camille's guilt to manipulate her into helping, dream sex, reunion sex that does not make anything better but that makes most things easier to forget.
Camille/Cora: Mm, so much possiblity for fucked-up angst - Cora doesn't find Marion's USB key in the marsh, and Camille tries to comfort her while knowing exactly what she did to her mother? Camille comes back and tries to apologise?
Lèa/Laurène: Mayor Lèa AUs, any kind of reluctant growing close, dream sex, Laurène bringing the forest to Lèa in ways Lèa had never dreamed of before.
Leila/Laurène: I feel like they would have the sort of relationship that looks totally normal and healthy from the outside (childhood friends/occasional lovers!) but that is ... not that, because, well, they are themselves and Villefranche is Villefranche, and sex for them is always going to be a bit fraught.
Marion/Cora: Nothing is ever going to convince me Cora wasn't in love with Marion, tbh. I love this ship with it's angst possibilities - first-time-is-also-the-last-time fics, dream sex before or after Marion's death, Marion is back and something is absolutely not right but Cora thinks she can love her back to normal anyway.
Marion/Laurène: It's such a terrible idea! I'm so into it! The forest makes them do it at first but it turns into something more. Laurene's fucked up about sleeping her with the girl her daughter loves. They meet while Laurene's dead at the end of season 1.

General: Codependent teenage best friends AND not-not sexual obsession with #unavailable older women in positions of authority, I am immensely catered to. Also it's basically the intersection of She's not Me and Battle Cries in f/f canon form, so what's not to love? I'd love something that leans into the fever-dream horror of consumption of it all. All the obsession, all the clinical-sensual interest in what bodies can do, all the levels of genuinely caring (or genuinely hateful!) mentorship that ultimately can't do anything but fail. I love ladies and noir and glitter and murder, you can't disappoint me! Feel free to combine any of these ships for a threesome, V or triad. I've seen and liked the show, so feel free to grab bits from that version of canon if you want. Re: my sex involving under 16s DNW, just don't mention ages.
Addy/Casey: Angsty summer cheer camp hookups yesss. Addy never quite tells us what went on at camp, so I'd love fic exploring that. Or post-canon fic where Addy's captain and Casey is ... a rival captain? Just another tumblr that Addy fucks as a way of saying goodbye to that old life?
Beth/Addy: So ... Beth watching Addy drift away from her and self-destructing so she can blame everything that goes wrong on her own actions and not on how she loves Addy is the best sort of angst, and adding sex into the mix for extra angst? Yes good please. I like the contrast between how in tune with their bodies they are and how not in tune with their emotions they are, so something that plays with that - kinking on pain/using it to bring each other pleasure while also being, like, in wildly different books re: their emotional states. Or make them vampires. You can't tell me you don't love the idea of cheerleading vampires. That whole strength/eternal youth thing combined with their competitiveness? Gimme, especially if the 'should we become vampires/join the Masquerade' conflict is piled on top of their existing issues. Or happy futurefic! I would not say no to college/adult-age Addy & Beth just having a nice day for once, appreciating each other's bodies as they change & grow. Or unhappy futurefic! Addy not being able to sustain the success Beth tried to give her and Beth being fucked up about it, Beth coming to terms with the fact that she succeeded in giving everything to Addy to the extent that she can't figure out what's left, and fucking Addy doesn't actually help her figure it out but she tries anyway.
Beth/RiRi: Using each other as Addy-replacements? Yes. Training sessions that go too far? Also yes. Post-canon, RiRi taunting Beth about not being able to practise with them yet and Beth showing her what she can still do instead? Also yes. Captain Beth ordering RiRi to touch herself, pretending it's about ~gaining experience or something while it's really all about them pushing at each other's limits, what Beth can make her do and what RiRi can make her watch? Also yes. It's one of my rarepairs and I am very hard to disappoint!
Beth/Tacy: Book!Tacy and her willingness to be a pawn for Beth is SO GOOD. Whether she does everything for Beth for a chance to claw her own way into the world or because she genuinely enjoys it, I'd love something that explores that side of her.
Colette/Addy: So all of Addy's fantasising about living with Colette and parenting her daughter? I would be super intrigued by futurefic where they end up finding their way back to each other and trying to make a life together work after everything that's happened (I don't know that it would necessarily work, but I wanna see how they'd try!) Canon-era AUs where they're actually sleeping together would also be interesting - stolen 'practises', comfort sex or bedsharing post-Will's death, AUs where one of them kills Will.
RiRi/Addy: I love the sense of missed-potential with them - anything they might have been was ruined by Addy being Beth's girl. So: something where they get together post-canon, maybe,

General: I don't know what good I did to the universe to get this show in return but wow is this blood-soaked grimly funny chase across London and Russia and half of Europe the show of my dreams. I love how bright Villanelle is in everything she does, I love her twisted undeniable logic and her unstoppable yearning. I think Villanelle/Eve is basically canon, and though I'm leaving it off my request list in favour of my rarer ships, I don't think it's entirely avoidable in fics that aren't pre-canon, and I'm totally here for that sort of conflict between Villanelle's multiple desires pulling her towards conflicting (or perhaps ultimately nonconflicting?) goals. Canon-compliant deathfic for Nadia or Anna is okay, but I am also super into 'character survives and nothing is better' AUs. Explicit Remain-won AUs not necessary as long as I can pretend Remain won and there's no Brexit, but, like, if Bojo meets a bad end and there's definitely no Brexit ever I am really not gonna complain. Feel free to combine any of these into an OT3.
Anna/Eve: A thing that struck me in season 2 is that Eve seems to be a person more comfortable with her own capacity for violence than Villanelle's, while Anna was more comfortable with Villanelle's violence than with her own (I mean, it's definitely relatively speaking in both cases, but ...) and I would LOVE to see that tension explored between them in some kind of Anna-survives AU. Does Anna see Eve as a new Villanelle? A replacement for Villanelle? How much does Eve remind her of her old self, and how much does she wish she could be Eve - to be the current focus of Villanelle's adoration again, even knowing the cost. Does being the object of Eve's affections seem like a good proposition there?
Anna/Villanelle: Messy obsessive mentor/student problems are MY THING and I'm obsessed with all of this - Anna's guilt, Oksana's growing estrangement from what should be as she falls deeper and deeper into what she wants. Pre-canon fic is great - first times, seduction attempts, inappropriate teasing and attempting to play house together, the aftermath of Oksana killing Max (re: my sex-involving-under-16s DNW, you can just not mention her age). Creepily gentle gift-giving is good - Villanelle dressing Anna in lingerie she bought her, or encouraging Anna to do the same to her? Or AU post-s1 where Anna either survives or doesn't attempt suicide at all. Anna comes back wrong. Anna runs away with Villanelle, and they're serial killers on their own with no help from the Twelve (or meet the Twelve later. Or Anna was working for them all along - angst!) Anything using Jordan Reyne's 'The Narcissus' as a prompt.
Nadia/Villanelle: MURDEROUS EXES WHO ALSO WANT TO MURDER EACH OTHER, what a good trope. Nadia brings out the sweet side of Villanelle's poison in a weird way - their scenes together were the only times I started to question if Villanelle ever did see a life for herself outside of the assassin gig. Because, lbr: she is far too invested in performing for Eve to give up killing for Eve, and, genuine desire for normal life or not, Nadia opens up a new possibility for desire that Villanelle is delighted by - and fucking hates. Like, she doesn't know what to do with a want that conflicts with her sense of self but she also doesn't know how to say no to desire, yknow? So of course she kills Nadia but of course she makes it sweet, and of course she asks how Nadia wants to go, and of course she indulges that. All of which is to say: fuck me up, dear author. Tell me about their meetings, their missions, their murder attempts, Nadia's final seconds of life. Or go AU, tell me about their captivity together in Arcadia and how Villanelle sold her out to the True Fae for a way through the Hedge and Nadia has found her own way back and is seeking REVENGE. Or make them vampires. I am never gonna say no to my faves being made vampires.

General: There were so many great ladies on this show and I'm sad none of them really got a lot of screentime together, so - let's change that in fic! I like casefic, I like ladies working together, I like pretending that in New York City more than one woman can prosecute homicide cases at once, I like mid-/post-case office cuddles/makeouts/sex. I am always and forever weak for the 'someone shoots up a courtroom and the ADA has to be comforted after' plots.
Abbie/Serena: I love them because even though their political views are so far apart their legal philosophies actually track pretty closely with each other's - they both have a talent for looking at legal problems and deciding that the solution is simply to become bigger than the problem, which I love. They spend so much time as the 'everyone's a lesbian' afterthought pairing to Alex/Olivia from SVU, and I would love more fic that's actually about them. Does Abbie stay in the DA’s office while Serena moves to homicide? Does ADA Serena meet up with AUSA Abbie and help her on a case? Does Serena work Abbie around to a slightly less conservative way of thinking?
Claire/Elizabeth Olivet: They deserve nice things! I want fic where they win things, get to be fierce and smart and wonderful together. Late nights in the office working on cases together. Claire coming back as a vampire and them figuring out how that changes their relationship. Fun dates in art galleries with no bodies. Any kind of friends-with-benefits/sex to relax after a bad day setup
Nora/Serena: Serena Southerlyn canonically does her paperwork on Nora Lewin's desk and I am more than a little dead about it? (see above, re. mentorship). They have so many great moments ("Everyone’s afraid, Nora, I'm afraid" / the entirety of DR 1-102). Does Serena ever come out to Nora? Does Nora guess? How did Serena get to the point where she does paperwork on Nora’s desk? What’s their relationship like after Nora decides not to run for re-election?

General: I dropped out of the active fandom for this ages ago, and am definitely more of an early-seasons fan (i.e. up to Casey leaving the first time), but if you want to set it somewhere more recent in the timeline, that's cool too! I'm up for anything, from long plotty casefic to office pwp. SVU has a really particular sort of mood, a cold comfort that's not quite bleak and not quite hopeful, and I'm really interested in the ways in which the female lawyers & judges negotiate their particular vocabularies of justice and care. I've seen Conviction but didn't really like it, so feel free to ignore it. If you want to combine any of these into an OT3, feel absolutely free.
Alex/Casey: I love the brief moments they had together and I want more, especially without witness protection hanging over Alex's head. Let her pass on advice and information and connections, let Casey have a sympathetic peer when things get too rough at work. Alternatively, something where they find each other during the time Casey's suspended - turning to Alex to help understand how to put her life with the law on hold.
Alex/Liz: A version of Conviction where Alex's relationship is with Liz instead of that guy, AU where she never goes into witness protection, roleswap (Judge!Alex and ADA!Liz). Some kind of not-friends-but-definitely-with-sex-benefits things, where the point isn't even necessarily sex but just getting out of their own heads for some time.
Alex/Lena:
Liz/Lena: They have a lot of history, and something pre-canon would be really fun to explore.

General: I love this messy unapologetic show and how much it loved LA. I never finished Major Crimes (got annoyed with Sharon/Andy, got behind and then uhhh 6.09 happened, which, lolnope) but if it makes sense for your Brenda/Sharon fic to be set in seasons 1-4ish of Major Crimes, go for it! Casefic loved but not necessary. Chief Johnson AUs super loved. Anything and everything about Los Angeles politics and city-as-character. Feel free to make everyone vampires, LA is improved with vampires. I am profoundly neutral re: Fritz, so feel free to go never married/divorced/Brenda's cheating with any level of guilt/he died/something else as you want!
Andrea/Brenda: In no world was Andrea ever prepared for Brenda, and yet - by the end, they were as close to friends as Brenda ever gets with people, and I want more of that! I especially like Brenda at the DA's office for this, Andrea helping her adjust to the new job, but really anything about quiet comfort and coping mechanisms that neither of them will actually call coping mechanisms but love and appreciate anyway.
Brenda/Sharon: Gods ... I love them so much. I love that it takes them so long to like each other even as they believe in each other, I love that even by the end of s7 Brenda would probably find it easier to sleep with Sharon than admit they're friends (sleeping with each other while stridently maintaining that they're not friends: extremely good).
Irene/Brenda: Mentorship dynamics! This can be pre-ship, or even one-sided on Irene's part if you like, I wish we'd gotten more of them together and seen them form the same sort of friendship that Brenda ended up forming with the rest of the team. So maybe something where she takes Gabriel's role for the first couple years, acting as Brenda's liason/support, or where they have to pair up for a case, or Irene comes back to help during s7, or reconnecting and getting together after Brenda joins the DA's office.

General: I much preferred TGW doing legal stories to political stories (the endless identical campaigns were honestly starting to bore me by the end, sorry) and if you do casefic/plotty things I'd prefer legal ones to political ones.
Fandom-specific DNW: Cary or Cary/Kalinda even as mentions, season 7 canon.
Alicia/Rayna: Equally happy with AUs where they have their own firm, or hatesex post-any of the cases they had against each other.
Diane/Kalinda: My absolute everything wrt loyalty/competency kink. Kalinda had an entire notebook just for Diane Things! (I would love a whole fic that's just the contents of Kalinda's Diane Notebook, honestly). Mentorship, care, how messy things get trying to navigate the power differential of a boss/employee relationship when Kalinda is such a nontraditional employee. First meetings, post-canon happyish ending (I'm indifferent to Diane/Kurt, feel free to ignore it, and I haven't seen The Good Fight).
Kalinda/Jenna: Oh Jenna, she's another one I desperately wish we'd seen more of. She was with Kalinda during one of the worst periods of her life when Will died, and then she just? Entirely disappeared? I thought for a while that she was blackmailed/coerced into working for Damian and was expecting Kalinda to figure that out and try to get her away from him, and I'd love that AU. H/c post-Will's death, post-canon Jenna reflecting on her relationship with Kalinda.
Lana/Kalinda: Gods, give them the world. I've never forgiven Cary for outing Lana to her boss, and if you want to pretend that never happened I am more than fine with it. I'd love post-canon catharsis for them - maybe they try living together, maybe they find other ways to have a relationship. Something about their cat-and-mouse games from the earlier seasons would also be great - casefic, investigations, deals for information. Kalinda showing affection in ways other than speaking, things Kalinda has written about Lana in her journals. The ways in which they turn protecting each other into something beneficial rather than smothering.
Rayna Hecht/Elsbeth Tascioni: I wish we'd seen so much more of them! Arguing a case, setting up their office together, interviewing potential private investigators, Rayna comforting Elsbeth after Alicia plays dirty in court, learning from each other, going out for drinks leads to relationship evolution, h/c fic ... really I'm not entirely sure what I want for them except MORE. Established relationship/getting together/post-canon are all equally good!

General: This weird book about fucked-up missionary siblings in clockwork Fairyland snuck into my life and ruined me and I would love to be further ruined by any fic you write! I really, really loved the Changeling!Cathy faux-reveal and was a bit put out by its last-chapter reversal (all books can do with more weird changelings, lbr), so any Changeling!Cathy fic - or fic where she's human but grappling with the fact that she enjoyed elements of the time when she thought she was a soulless creature - is always adored. Canon-compliant deathfic for Ariel is fine - especially if it leads to Mab further manipulating/fucking with Cathy, and Cathy continuing to spiral about her identity, but I am also thrilled by any AU you come up with where she survives or is brought back. Feel free to combine any of these requests to make an OT3. References to/background Cathy/Laon in addition to is fine. Basically, just lean into the WEIRD and I will be super happy!
Ariel/Cathy: I would love some of Ariel's POV on the novel's events - she has a sort of resignation to liminality about her that I find fascinating. What if she had been given more time to convince Cathy she was a Changeling too, or chose to use sex to prove that they're more alike than Cathy wants to admit? What if she tried to sell Cathy to Mab for Laon's safety (or, perhaps, Cathy tries it with her). Resurrection attempts? Mab resurrects her and gives her to Cathy as a present, and they try to figure out what to do with that? Ill-advised wanderings into the depths of Arcadia? We see glimpses of what Changelings think about Cathy and Laon's theology, but what kind of myths and religions of their own have they developed that Ariel and Cathy might stumble into in this land where everything's just a bit too real? Also intrigued by the possibility of them meeting in the mortal world sometime before Cathy travels to Arcadia - what would that meeting look like, what kind of traps might Ariel try to set (at Mab's encouraging?), would Cathy notice something off about her? Ariel and Cathy dressing each other up the morning before the Hunt. Murder is the highest form of aesthetic appreciation in Arcadia, so after the Hunt it falls upon Cathy to resurrect and marry Ariel, because they are obviously destined to be with each other. Some kind of time loop, either while they're waiting for Laon to come back or during the Hunt. Hanahaki disease as body horror, the disease not necessarily because they don't love each other, but because Ariel's a Changeling and Cathy isn't (and what effect would murder have on that?). Killing someone together - Laon? Mr Benjamin? Attempted or temporary murder of Mab, and the consequences?
Ariel/Mab: How was Ariel summoned back from the mundane world? How did Mab 'lay claim' to her changeling - did she get any pushback form other Faerie lords? Did Ariel ever think about defecting to another court, or is that not allowed by Faerie laws? AU where she did defect to another court, and how that influenced her relationships with both Mab and Catherine. Is necromancy possible in Arcadia? Came back wrong fic would be delightful. Ariel - or whatever's left of her - confronting Mab about the Hunt, before or after it happens. Flower- and plant-based body horror, from hanahaki disease or otherwise. Mab seduces Ariel (by murdering other people).
Cathy/Kasdaye: I mean - "Have you not wanted to speak to me all your life?" makes me want pre-Arcadia Cathy dreaming of/dreaming with Kasdaye, but I would also love an AU of the masquerade where Kasdaye does succeed in telling Cathy's fortune, and how everything changes unexpectly from there - would Cathy still kill Ariel, knowing Kasdaye had already seen her do so? Kasdaye trying to take over Ariel's position as Cathy's guide in Arcadia after the Hunt, or time that they spend post-canon together in Pivot. What are Kasdaye's fae friends like, what dream cults might she be a part of, what happens if she brings Cathy deeper into her world? Kasdaye's a super neat temptress-and-oracle fusion that gets right at all the things Cathy's upbringing has taught her to fear, but in a way that's canonically more appealing than Mab's presentation of the forbidden, so I'd love something that plays with that.
Cathy/Mab: Changeling Cathy! Either one where Mab made her before sending her off into the mortal world, or one where Mab decides to turn her into one at some point during/after the events of the book (look ... we don't know how Changelings are made, it's totally possible). I wasn't entirely sold on the 'Arcadia = literally Hell' conceit of the ending, so maybe something where that was Mab's real lie? Human Cathy becomes one of Mab's courtiers in exchange for Laon's life/freedom. But, look, Cathy killed someone she liked to spite Mab, even if Laon's soul was also playing some part in that decision, I am gonna be super into whatever you write for them! Arcadian adventures and rituals, Cathy-as-servant, Cathy-as-toy, Arcadian politicking ... all excellent. Post-canon time in Pivot or Elphane, Cathy discovering Arcadian myths and legends and sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong. What does Arcadian regional horror look like? Mab fucking around with Cathy's dreams - visiting her, pulling elements of her dreams into reality.
Kasdaye/Mab: Pre-canon! I love Queen-and-Lady stuff, and Kasdaye's blood-soaked fortune telling, and how wonderfully, beautifully, awful-in-all-senses-of-the-world fae bodies can be.

General: Shows I did not expect to ruin me: this. Shows that have ruined me: also this. I didn't love season 4 except the very end, and in general would prefer something where Quinn and Rachel are unambiguously on the same side - massive intra-ship dysfunctionality encouraged, but I like their us-against-everything vibe. Mary's canon death can be referenced/included, but if you feel like bringing her back as a vampire I'm not gonna say no (I never say no to vampires).
Rachel/Quinn: I don't ... even know where to start with this. I love them SO MUCH and they love each other SO MUCH and they are SO BAD for each other even when they're trying not to be and yet they're still the realest and best things in each other's lives?? I can't handle it. I want them to win shit. I want them to murder a dude who deserves it. Late-night phone sex during season breaks because they can't be without each other for that long. Rachel falling asleep in Quinn's lap and Quinn gently waking her up with sex. More of them choosing each other and that not meaning they have to deal with shitty men first. I know Rachel is ... Rachel about female authority figures but if there's a person in the world Quinn would sub for it's Rachel Goldberg and them figuring out that entire moment where it shifts from Quinn going 'see what I can make you do to me' to Quinn genuinely giving up some control? Extremly good and hot.

General: I have a deep love for half-dead half-forest women and this show has truly left me spoiled for choice amongst them! Sad cops? Tired medical examiners? Girls with disturbing archery skills? Old bartenders possibly as old as time itself? I love them all! Gimme creepy things in the forest and I have a slight preference for came-back-wrong/never died Marion & Camille over pre-death Marion & Camille, but it's truly slight, I will love anything you write me even if they stay dead!
Camille/Laurène: You may have noticed that 'murder made me ship it' is a common theme in my requests and, look, it's a good trope. Camille dying at Cora's feet whispering I'm sorry about the Major (not 'Laurène' not 'your mother') gave me more feelings about them than I know how to deal with, so I ... humbly request you write me something about them! Things I love: Camille and Laurène meeting in some liminal death-space (especially if Laurene is dying over and over again to stay close to her and coming back worse each time), Laurène making the forest give her Camille back so they can (try to) have some of the conversations they didn't have in life, Camille being desperate to impress Laurène, THE CROWS, Laurène taking advantage of Camille's guilt to manipulate her into helping, dream sex, reunion sex that does not make anything better but that makes most things easier to forget.
Camille/Cora: Mm, so much possiblity for fucked-up angst - Cora doesn't find Marion's USB key in the marsh, and Camille tries to comfort her while knowing exactly what she did to her mother? Camille comes back and tries to apologise?
Lèa/Laurène: Mayor Lèa AUs, any kind of reluctant growing close, dream sex, Laurène bringing the forest to Lèa in ways Lèa had never dreamed of before.
Leila/Laurène: I feel like they would have the sort of relationship that looks totally normal and healthy from the outside (childhood friends/occasional lovers!) but that is ... not that, because, well, they are themselves and Villefranche is Villefranche, and sex for them is always going to be a bit fraught.
Marion/Cora: Nothing is ever going to convince me Cora wasn't in love with Marion, tbh. I love this ship with it's angst possibilities - first-time-is-also-the-last-time fics, dream sex before or after Marion's death, Marion is back and something is absolutely not right but Cora thinks she can love her back to normal anyway.
Marion/Laurène: It's such a terrible idea! I'm so into it! The forest makes them do it at first but it turns into something more. Laurene's fucked up about sleeping her with the girl her daughter loves. They meet while Laurene's dead at the end of season 1.
