Hello,

Thank you for reading! I would be delighted to receive fic in any of these fandoms, but there are some I've been able to come up with more specific prompts than for others. Please don't take that as indicating varying levels of enthusiasm.

L'amica geniale | The Neapolitan Novels - Elena Ferrante - Lila Cerullo/Elena Greco

I particularly liked the sections about Elena’s school life and then studies, and less so the focus on the children and mothering, so I’d prefer something set before they have children. I liked too the sections of the book that talked of her writing and the publishing industry and the promotions.

I'd love a time travel AU! I’d like to see Elena try to prevent Tina from getting captured. I’m fine if the only way to end it is to let it happen and/or if she never really finds out who took Tina, but I’d enjoy her failing in different ways and trying to figure it out too. Or Lila, after getting married to Stefano and having the shock of seeing the shoes at the wedding, or later after being beaten by him, finds herself waking up part time through the first book. Still with limited options, how does she try to change things? To accept Marcello as she had thrown into Stefano’s face she might have preferred him? To go along with Stefano again but with a much more jaded attitude? I'd love for her to realise through these loops that she would prefer Lenuccia to a greater extent than she might have thought.

Maybe instead of later shacking up with Nino or Enzo, it's with Elena?

Perhaps something set around the time of Lila’s marriage to Stefano, in the style of those scenes from the second book where Elena goes over to study there, or with the bathing and the trying on of Lila’s clothes, just with more femslash! I was struck particularly by two scenes of Elena looking at Lila, the one when Lila is dressing for the wedding ceremony and a passage in the last book where Elena notes that she had looked only at Lila when she came in and scarcely noticed anybody else.

I’d like a look at how Lila relates to Elena. So much of the series is about Elena’s view of Lila, and it would be interesting to see something of how their relationship looks like from the other side. I was touched by Lila’s line at the beach that she would have her future children spend time with Elena because she knows the value of time with her. I'll be honest: Lenù is by far my favourite.



Captive Prince - C. S. Pacat
Damen & Theomedes

Damen clearly loved his father a lot: he’s a set of standards to follow, they’ve apparently never disagreed on serious matters, and Theomedes wants to be well to see what Damen will accomplish. What Damen does actually accomplish, of course, is a close alliance with Vere, which he thinks no matter how he might try to explain, Theomedes would not understand. Veretian voices in his halls! His son besotted! Even Makedon of the sensible views about Vere won over!

I'd love a time travel AU: maybe Damen and Laurent get sent back in time to before the battle at Marlas. Feel free to avoid the long-term consequences of such a change, I prefer the outcome that changes lead to a splintered timeline and possibly the characters can return to their original world; I’m mostly interested in interactions with the time travellers and some discussion about trying to change what happened.

I'd love to have Theomedes deal with the changes in his son, whether directly related to Laurent's presence in his life or less so. I feel like the changes in Damen are all linked at least tangentially to Laurent anyway, so even if the primary focus is on Kastor's betrayal or policy changes implemented by Damen, I will be happy. I would also be interested in something about policies Damen might implement that go against/undo what Theomedes was pursuing in the same matter, especially in minor matters, and how he might feel deliberately undoing his father's work.

Laurent & Theomedes

What might that relationship look like? What could make Theomedes at least somewhat reconciled to Laurent's presence in Damen's life? On the other side, something dealing with Laurent’s antipathy for Theomedes would be great too. In KR he says, ‘we don’t have to do this now’ when the topic of him having hated Theomedes comes up. What about when it comes up again, at a time where Damen’s a bit less emotionally vulnerable to it? How does he feel about Damen’s and the public positive remembrance of Theomedes?

Jokaste/Lykaios

I’d be interested in something dark and dubconny here. Something about Jokaste taking out resentment over the role she’s been put into: in Damen and Kastor’s lives, as a woman in Akielon society – on Lykaios (who’s in a worse one). Or using Lykaios to feel in some way closer to Damen, whether with Damen granting Jokaste the use of his slaves or behind his back, with Lykaios fearing him finding out and yet not being in a position to refuse Jokaste. Or perhaps something with Jokaste being aware that Lykaios is going to die in the coup. I could also enjoy something with Lykaios being attracted to Jokaste and seeing her with Damen. Maybe she picks up on Jokaste’s involvement with Kastor and helps her to conceal it from Damen?

Something dealing with how Lykaios has been controlled, on the watch even for slight skin marring (in the extra story about Erasmus, there was a slave who fell, got a scar, and fell down the ranks). Or about the intellectual restrains accompanying the training. I’d like some recognition (by the narrative, not necessarily by Jokaste) of the great and fundamental wrong that has been done to Lykaios, whether Jokaste thinks that this can be in some way remedied or whether she just writes Lykaios off at that point. Perhaps she deliberately does nothing to help her when she knows Damen’s slaves will be killed off because she thinks she would be better off dead? Maybe she’s the one who suggests this to Kastor, whether for that reason or because she resents Lykaios for Damen’s actions?

On a happier note, I would love a slave uprising that would set Lykaios at least temporarily free or if she were somehow to escape instead of having her throat slit at the beginning of the book. Maybe she can find some happiness and safety elsewhere? Similarly, what if Jokaste decided it would be safer to escape from the court at the time of Kastor's coup (as the others who knew about it were killed off and he seemed a little colder towards her, maybe) and perhaps took Lykaios along with her if Lykaios had survived somehow (having been despatched on an errand somewhere, or hiding, or whatever).

My pairing specific DNW is that I don’t enjoy happiness-in-slavery tales. I’d appreciate a sense that Lykaios’ position is depriving her of choices and putting her under the control of others, and not a romantic/happy slave/mistress fic.


Kordian - Słowacki - Mikołaj & Konstanty

I really liked the scene between them (almost as much as I did the planning to kill the Tsar) and I’d love something more about them. Perhaps something pre-canon around the death of Paul? The burial, the mixed emotions, the unspoken recriminations, and the grief that’s not fully pretend and not fully genuine. Paul as a ghost that’s haunting one or both of them! I’d also enjoy something more like in canon, with them throwing in each other’s faces their various wrongs and crimes committed. Mikołaj has the line about seeing Konstanty in every enemy, so something more about that? Some self-doubt about his involvement, some conversation that’s innocuous on the surface but still fraught? Something post-canon dealing with more history would be welcome too.

I’d be very happy with a fic in Polish.



Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen - Charles Bingley/George Wickham

Darcy had no reason to tell Bingley of Wickham and Wickham is good at charming people. He can mooch a little off agreeable and friendly Bingley, and finds some satisfaction too in his connection to Darcy: in thinking that he’s getting one-up over him, in contemplating that Darcy would be mad, etc. But then he finds that he’s grown fond of Bingley and doesn’t want it to be ruined and to lose him.

Bingley’s hardly going to admit to sodomy, but he might still wish to introduce his friends together. Wickham tries to distract him and find excuses for why he can’t meet Darcy, though even Bingley mentioning his name to Darcy would lead to revelations. Maybe he gives Bingley a much milder version of his sob story, about how he’d fallen out with Darcy and Darcy surely wouldn’t want to see him, but Bingley persists in thinking well of people and that they could reconcile. Or maybe Bingley's been told in the past that his emotions can be read off his face and so doesn't want them to meet and have Darcy suspect. Maybe Wickham tells him he fell into some bad company at university, but is now a reformed character (in need of funds).
