Hello friend, it is time for Valentine's Day fic and my requests are full of spies and assassins and secret agents and ladies who can't decide whether they want to fuck or kill each other. 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: I only vaguely keep up with the audio dramas, but feel free to incorporate however much of that canon as you want. Post-Mondas fix-its for Missy that don't involve her regenerating are loved, but pre-Mondas fic is equally great. I like Missy using her telepathy and the sweeping glorious over-the-top-ness that characterises a lot of the show. I like moral greyness and (if the fic is Earth-set at any point) fic set in Scotland and Wales rather than England (Brexit-less Earth, please). I am questionably able to keep up with the new season as it airs and usually only about halfway spoiled, so I'd prefer nothing that relies too much on this season's canon.

General: My dragonborn is a female Dunmer named Jessamine, but if you want to involve the dragonborn for plot reasons, don't feel beholden to that. I side with the Imperials in-game mostly to get the civil war quests out of my journal, but as long as Idgrod stays in Morthal I don't care who's winning the war in fic. I don't mind background Astrid/Arnbjorn if we matched on Astrid & Babette, but if you're writing Maven/Astrid I'd prefer you just pretend they're not married. I have no preference on who's Jarl in Riften for Maven fics. I love the potential for the horror of loss here - Skyrim as a country feels like it should feel emptier than it does, and I'd love something that leans into like - there should be more abandoned houses. There should be an entire village between Morthal and Solitude. Tell me ghost stories, and about messy love among the ruins.

Fandom-specific DNW: Stormcloak-controlled Morthal, Ulfric, mention of Arnbjorn in Astrid/Maven fic.

General: 2019 was the year this ridiculous gacha game stole my heart with a story and I'm SO happy it did. I've never played any of the other Fire Emblem games, but I've spoiled myself for my requested characters as thoroughly as possible (because: I love them) so don't worry too much about lore stuff! I prefer female player characters if they're ever relevant to the story.

General: Listen. This movie is perfect and I fucking love it. In fact, I have written an entire post about why you should love it too, if 'identity-porn filled wuxia film starring Michelle Yeoh' is not enough to have you hooked immediately. I prefer pre-identity change Zeng Jing to be referred to as Xi Yu rather then Drizzle but I'm totally fine with either Chinese or English names for all other characters. Background Ah-Sheng/Jing or Lei Bin/his canon wife is fine.

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 tend to think of some level of Villanelle/Eve as basically canon, and though I'm leaving it off my request list in favour of my rarer Villanelle pairs, 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.

( Villanelle/Anna, Villanelle/Nadia )


General: I know it's been five years since it ended but this is still the spy show of my heart and I love all these sad glamorous dubiously-moral assassins. Before Amanda's backstory reveal I spent some time headcanoning her as a Russian agent - feel free to run with that background if it speaks more to you than her canon one! I am fine with background Nikita/Owen, Nikita/Alex, Amanda/Alex, or Nikita/Ryan, but DNW Nikita/Michael.

( Nikita/Amanda, Nikita/Cassandra, Carla/Amanda, Amanda/Madeline )


General: I like missionfic/casefic, especially for all the angst it gives post-Fall fic/preemptive angst it gives pre-Fall fics (I am entirely up to date on the canon), but they're not a requirement. For Amélie ships, I have no preference if fic is set when she's Amélie or Widowmaker or both, and I also don't have a preference for never-married-to-Gerard!AUs vs pining/infidelity/open marriage so - whatever works for your fic! If Mercy's relevant to your fic, I am happy to see dark!Mercy as well as Overwatch!Mercy. Leaning into the body horror aspects around Ana's missing eye encouraged (I have a special love for flowers growing in the empty eye socket, because, well, I'm me) but not required. Any AU based off any skins for the requested characters (e.g. witch!Mercy, pirate!Ana, comtesse!Amélie) is welcome even if I haven't specified the general version of that AU in my likes. If you want to address the age gaps here, I really love how comfortable Ana is in her own skin, with her own age (even/especially her missing eye) and how that contrasts with her mixed feelings about what she's done, so anything that highlights that would be lovely.

General: I am not usually one for zombie stories but this show was absolutely irresistible (...Anjali Bhimani in that dress was admittedly irresistible first, but I fell in love with the show too). I love the setting-as-character, the magic, the DREAMS, the way that the characters run up against each others' sharp edges and the beautiful freedom for distrust and not being friends that the limited run allowed. I'm here for the supernatural, both the bits we see and any extra bits you want to add (I have a profound soft spot for werewolf!Arabella). Canon-style undead are fine and do not hit my zombies DNW. I'm happy for AUs where Miriam never had a husband/he was a terrible one who she killed and escaped from like we were all sort of playing with post-ep 3.

Fandom-specific DNW: Fix-it for Clay's death (canon divergence pre-episode 4 is fine, but I DNW him coming back as anything other than a Cynthia-style zombie, or for his death to not happen once the Dealer takes away Fogg's feelings), 'the Undeadwood five are all best friends/found family who uncomplicatedly live together'-style stories.

( Arabella/Miriam, Arabella & Cynthia, Joanie/Miriam )


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. Basically, just lean into the WEIRD and I will be super happy!

( Ariel/Cathy, Ariel/Mab, Cathy/Kasdaye, Cathy/Laon, Cathy/Mab )


General: Listen I fully expect this to be a fandom of one, but this was #formative to small me's interests in fiction before small me even knew she had tastes in fiction, and I want my first favourite shoulda-been-girlfriends spies to have a good time. If doing something plottier, I like fics that take a more complex look at ACME's morals; if doing something pornier, I have a slight preference for sub!Carmen. I haven't seen any of the shows or played any other games, so please nothing that relies on any other version of Carmen. I'm fond of the Extremely 2001 setting and would prefer you don't update it unless you're doing futurefic.

Fandom-specific DNW: Hawkins.

Hello friend, it is time for dark and/or porny femslash and 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've by and large chosen canons I love for their 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.

I don't mind if the M/E rating is for smut or dark themes (both is very very good). 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: I haven't seen season 2 yet so my prompts are really only season 1 based. That being said, I'll be caught up by the time reveals happen, so if you want to do something s2-compliant or diverge after s1, either is great! I have no infidelity-related squicks, so handle the canon marriages however you want (pre-fic divorce/never married/open marriage/whatever)

( Madeline/Celeste, Renata/Celeste, Renata/Madeline )


General: I am happy with basically anything for these ships! All the obsession, all the clinical-sensual interest in what bodies can do, all the levels of genuinely caring mentorship that ultimately can't do anything but fail. Sex involving under 16s DNW lifted for this fandom, but you can also just not mention the girls' ages.

General: This show has a thesis of 'why be a girl when you could be an eldritch horror instead' because it loves me, it really loves me. I love the bonds and the backstabbing and the love-through-horror, I love the changeling girls and the amount of respect it gives stories of self-creation. I love the contrast between the suffocating boarding-school atmosphere and the equally terrifying 'I would like to let the sky eat me' of the Rock and how that's reflected in the characters' emotional relationships. Permadeath of any of the requested characters is fine for this fandom, as is ambiguous/show-consistent explanations of what happened at the Rock. The show does so much excellent work with forests that probably want to eat you/nature which tries to eat you/nature which wants to crawl inside you and never come out and I want to see infinitely more of it! Sith and vampire AUs especially adored for this fandom.

( Greta/Dianne, Greta/Marion, Hester/Dianne Hester/Greta, Hester/Miranda )


General: I want anything, tbh! All the secrets and identity issues and possibly-eldritch toxic lakes. I like the vague sense of Importance everything has, and how all the girls project and internalise it.

( Lise/Skye, Gabby/Lise, Deenie/Skye, Deenie/Lise, Deenie/Skye )


General: I love fics that get into the WEIRD and the magic and the worldbuilding. I've read King of Scars/Six of Crows but don't mind you take them into account for post-trilogy fic or not. I didn't hate endgame Alina/Mal or mind Alina losing her Grisha powers, but if you want, like, background endgame Alina/Zoya in a Tamar/Nadia fic, or AU where Alina's powers come back/she never lost them, go for it! Canon-compliant deathfic for Marie is fine, Darkling wins!AUs welcome. If relevant, I also ship Alia/Nikolai and Alina/the Darkling.

( Genya/Alina, Marie/Nadia, Tamar/Nadia, Zoya/Alina, Zoya/Genya )


General: Oh hey 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.

( Ariel/Cathy, Ariel/Mab, Cathy/Kasdaye, Cathy/Mab )


General: I am happy for any book details to be used for extra worldbuilding, but where the books and games differ go with the games. I follow the Scoia'tael path in Witcher 1 and Iorveth's in Witcher 2 and ask that you take the events of those paths as canon for your fic's worldstate. If relevant, I also ship Geralt/Iorveth and Geralt/Yaevinn, and really love the Iorveth & Saskia platonic ship. For Sheala fic, please assume Geralt saves her in 'Enter the Dragon'.

Fandom-specific DNW: Dandelion, sorceress-bashing, the events of non-Scoia'tael paths, Witcher 3 DLC-focussed stories (I'm spoiled but haven't actually played them), reducing Yen & Triss' dynamic to 'I don't like you because you stole my boyfriend'
