1st Pairing/Character you'd like: Ormund Baratheon/Rhaelle Targaryen
Elements you like: I am totally intrigued by this pairing, especially because Ormund is referred to as Lyonel's "heir," not his son or anything, so maybe he was somewhat distantly related and wasn't expecting to be the Lord, much less married to a princess. And I want to know about Rhaelle's adjustment to being sent off to Storm's End as a peace offering, basically. I would love to see how they came to love each other and Rhaelle coming to love the stormlands.
Elements you don't want: darkfic, sad/hopeless endings, rape, death of requested characters, non-canon-divergence AU

2nd Pairing/Character you'd like: Argella Durrandon/Orys Baratheon
Elements you like: This is the other historical Baratheon marriage I want to know more about! I love Argella's strength and determination to be a queen and keep her castle (I'm very interested in the Storm Kings) but I also like the way Orys responds to her with kindness. I really want to believe they had a loving marriage, even if it took some time to get there. How do you go from a queen to not being a queen and intermarrying with your conquerors?

3rd Pairing/Character you'd like: Harlen Tyrell
Elements you like: I am fascinated by this origin story for House Tyrell, since they have spent such a short time as great house and without recent royal descent. I would love to know how Harlen came to his decision to bend the knee (well, I guess it wasn't a very hard one when dragons are coming at you!) and how he dealt with resentment among the men he was now lord over. What was it like to go from servant to lord and to take over the castle of the kings he'd once served?

What do you want to write/draw: I'm most interested Baratheons and Tyrells, or adjacent/ancestral characters, especially post-conquest or fairly recently before it (as in, the Storm Kings are okay, but not the distant distant past).

What don't want to write/draw: Really old (semi-legendary, thousands of years ago) or not in Westeros (including beyond the Wall). Also, after all these years, I still haven't read D&E, much less the Dance stories. I'm good for WOIAF though. :)
