Hi! I'm
merryghoul I have a few media accounts here and there, but if you want to see what I'm into fic-wise, you can check out my Pinboard:
merryghoul.
In general, I like works that focus on:
crimes
hurt/comfort
noir AUs
fairy tale and/or mythology AUs
angst
fluff
the friends to lovers trope (where applicable)
magical people and worlds
sharing a bed
pretend couples
For more sexually explicit fics, my favorite kinks are:
knifeplay
spanking
bondage
begging
femdom
the "aliens made them do it" trope
the "sex pollen" trope
But if you want to write or draw something sexually explicit without any particular kink, I also like that as well. :D
I would like to not see or read about the following:
character bashing
crossovers (with a slight exception for Doctor Who--please see note in that part of my letter)
excessive whump (what I would call "characters constantly getting hurt")
vomitplay
high school/college AUs
mundane AUs
AUs where related characters were never related in the first place (where applicable)
curtainfic
works focused on a character's pregnancy (underage children already in the canon [e.g. Kira from Orphan Black] are okay)
second person fics
For this exchange, I'm requesting fanfic only.
Here are my prompts!
Doctor Who
With any of these pairings, if you'd like to, Torchwood, Classic, and/or New Who crossovers are fine. Please, no crossovers with fandoms other than Torchwood and/or Doctor Who.
I haven't heard all the tie-in audiobooks, and I haven't read a lot of tie-in books/comics with Doctor Who and Torchwood. But I wouldn't be opposed to elements of those books and audios appearing in your fic, if you choose to include them.
Missy/Clara Oswin Oswald: For this ship, I'd prefer the dynamic to be as twisted as possible; I'd rather not see the two of them have a loving relationship. I have two ideas I'd like to see.
I'm interested in what could've happened if Missy decided to take Clara on as a companion instead of getting Clara in the Doctor's life. I see Missy misleading Clara here, making herself appear Doctor-like before Clara learns the truth about Missy, and then the relationship souring.
Missy turning Clara into her idea of the perfect companion (her companion or the Doctor's companion, your choice). I like this fic's take on the idea, but you don't have to follow it at all.
But I'd love to see your take of the two, if these ideas don't work for you.
Missy/River Song: I also want a twisted dynamic between these two and would rather not see them in a loving relationship. Some ideas:
Missy getting in a relationship with and tricking River into one of her schemes.
River stopping Missy from one of her schemes. Despite their differing points of view, they have an on/off-relationship.
Missy attempting to make River the perfect companion or psychopath for herself. (Or both.)
But if you have a different idea for these two, I'd love to see it!
Gwen Cooper/Suzie Costello: I'd prefer not seeing a happy relationship with this paring. I'd love to see anything with these two, but I have some plot ideas.
I've always like the fanon idea that, ever since Gwen used the Resurrection Glove, Suzie and Gwen are forever connected in some way. Maybe Gwen and Suzie meet up in Gwen's dreams. Maybe Suzie warps Gwen enough to the point that Gwen brings her back. Maybe Gwen senses that Suzie is alive again after the Hub was blown up, and, despite her better judgement, she makes one last trip to Cardiff to see Suzie. Or maybe something else?
A canon AU where Suzie and Gwen worked together in Torchwood (and neither of them died). I'd love to see their dynamic, especially if Gwen learns that Suzie is a murderer while working alongside her.
River Song/Mels Zucker: Anything you can come up with these two getting into trouble (and ignoring violating time laws that shouldn't allow them to meet) would be lovely. I do have a few ideas:
Stealing spree on Earth, sometime before Mels regenerates. What do they steal and where do they go to steal these things?
Causing havoc in the 51st century--what do they do, where do they go?
The two of them ordered to work together for someone, like another Time Lord or some sort of powerful being in canon.
Something where River teaches Mels how to use guns/blasters/weapon of your choosing.
But if those ideas don't inspire you, as I said earlier, I'd love to see anything you can come up with.
Tegan Jovanka/Nyssa: Anything you can come up with these two would be lovely, but I do have a few prompt ideas:
I'm inspired a bit by this meta--someone matchmaking Tegan and Nyssa so they can get together. (It doesn't have to be the TARDIS--it can be anyone! Adric, Turlough, the Doctor, Ainsley!Master, a New Who and/or Torchwood character--go nuts!)
Tegan and Nyssa, as an established couple, on holiday away from the Doctor. Where do they go? What do they do? Do they meet anyone along the way?
Amy Pond/River Song: Anything for these two would be lovely, but I have some plot ideas:
Amy admitting she was attracted to River when she was Mels. She still can't shake off her attraction to River, and she tells River. What happens next?
The two of them fending off some sort of threat without anyone else to help them.
River convinces Amy to see the end of the world (as seen in "The End of the World").
Orphan Black
Helena/Sarah Manning: I'm interested in canon AUs/fix it fic exploring "what if..."
Like an AU where Sarah went to the police station to help Helena, back in season 2.
Or the two of them on a camping trip (like the one in canon, or a different one).
Or their escape through the desert escaping the Castor compound.
If not an AU, exploring Sarah dealing with Helena's murderous tendencies would be awesome. But if that doesn't float your boat, anything with these two would be lovely.
Helena/Grace Johansen: Some plot ideas for you:
Something that explores a twisted AU relationship between the two on the Prolethean compound.
An AU where they leave Henrik's farm together and go on the run. Are they captured by Castor? Do they head to a motel? Felix's loft? Where the Proletheans live after Henrik's farm burns down? Somewhere else?
Or if you have another idea you'd like to try out, feel free to do so!
Rachel Duncan/Sarah Manning: I would like a fic that maintains and explores their dynamic in canon. Lots of hatred and threats between the two. Feel free to take their relationship as dark as you can take it; if it goes into noncon/blood/gore/anything but my squicks, I'm fine with it. Some plot ideas:
AU: Rachel keeps Sarah in Dyad at the end of season 2.
AU: Near the end of season 3, somehow, Rachel ends up getting kidnapped and ends up in the captivity of Sarah.
The Librarians
In regards to the Eve ships, you can get rid of Flynn as you see fit or just ignore him. Don't bash him, though.
Eve Baird/Lamia: I'd really like a fic that retains their canon dynamic (they're both enemies in the main universe, but allies of sorts at least in Cassandra's universe in "...And the Loom of Fate"). That said, I have a couple of plot ideas, but feel free to come up with your own if these ideas don't move you.
In the main universe, the two of them reluctantly team up for a mission.
AU: Eve and Lamia meet in one of the alternate universes from "...And the Loom of Fate." We know Lamia is Cassandra's liege in her universe, but what about Jake's or Ezekiel's universes? Do they team up to repair the Loom of Fate and restore time? Feel free to have Flynn tag along or not; it doesn't matter to me.
Cassandra Cillian/Lamia: Anything with these two, either in the main universe or Cassandra's universe in "...And the Loom of Fate," would be awesome. Some ideas:
What if Cassandra never got rid of the Apple of Discord, stayed evil, and partnered with Lamia?
How Cassandra and Lamia hooked up in Cassandra's universe.
A day in the life in Cassandra's universe--controlling magic, handling disciples, that dragon flying over the factory, anything.
Eve Baird/Cassandra Cillian: Anything with these two would be amazing, but here are a few plot ideas:
In the main universe, I'd love to see Cassandra and Eve get over their trust issues and get into a relationship.
AU of the two of them stuck as the Princess and the Prince in that town. Do they try to escape their fate? Are there still werewolves? Are they alone, or the rest of the team is with them?
Scenes in the universe where Cassandra is the sole Librarian. How do they meet? What were their missions like? What are their interactions with characters like Lamia and Morgan Le Fay like?
The Bletchley Circle
Millie/Lucy Davis: I'd be delighted to read anything with these two in it, but I do have a couple of plot ideas.
Any fic focusing on their relationship prior to the start of the series at Bletchley Park.
What happened when the two of them lived together when Lucy was escaping her husband? (Would rather see more h/c than curtainfic with this prompt.)
Casefic! I'm not particular about when and where it's set--pre-series, post-series, between series. I'm also not picky about the other members of the Circle joining them or not. I'd like to see the two of them solving a case.
Greek & Roman Mythology
Artemis/Iphigenia: Here is a version of the myth I like, but you don't have to go by that version if you don't want to. I'm very interested in their relationship after Artemis saved Iphigenia. Some ideas:
In some versions of this myth, Iphigenia is a priestess of Artemis. I imagine Iphigenia got exclusive access to have Artemis appear in front of her. How did Iphigenia summon her? What were their meetings like?
In other versions of this myth, Iphigenia is turned into Hecate. How does this happen, and how does it change their relationship?
Original
Goddess/Goddess: I imagine these two feuding over something before becoming lovers. What it is--whether it's something petty or something that almost launches a war--I leave that up to you. Or, if feuding goddesses isn't your thing, I'm also interested in reading the following:
One goddess seduces the other
Established couple fic
A goddess turns a lesser being (human, demi-god, nymph, etc.) into a goddess
Any setting and time is also fine with me--a high fantasy setting, an urban fantasy setting, a post-apocalyptic or dystopia setting--anything.
Goddess/Sacrifice: Is this society an ancient society? A modern or future society? A society in an alternate universe? Who is being sacrificed? What is her station in life? Why is she being sacrificed? Is the goddess demanding the sacrifice? Does the goddess save the sacrifice, and if the goddess saves the sacrifice, what do they do next? When I saw this on the tag set, my mind thought of the story of Artemis and Iphigenia. I'm only bringing that myth up as an example. Feel free to set this story wherever you wish with whatever characters you come up with. Gen or femslash for this prompt is great!
