Femslash After Dark Letter
Jul. 3rd, 2020 12:47 amHello author! Thank you for signing up for this exchange!
Please don't worry about following any particular prompt I have here. I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to get an assignment and have no prompts or idea of what the person likes at all, so I wanted to provide some. If you get a completely different idea, go right ahead, I look forward to whatever you write for this.
My DNWs for this exchange are: incest, characters under the age of 16 engaging in sex, fingernail/toenail trauma/injuries, kidfic/de-aging, trypophobia, teeth damage/trauma, explicit urine/feces/vomit, insects/bugs, first or second person POV, cancer, medical torture*, institutionalization, needles used for torture, eye torture/trauma**, breast mutilation (beyond biting or scratching), gaslighting, fridging female characters (removing them from the narrative to focus on a male character’s trauma), suicide or assisted suicide as the end of a character/used as a “mercy,” pregnancy***, miscarriage, pets being endangered or harmed or killed, explicit child abuse (implied is ok), crossovers/fusions with other fandoms, A/B/O verse (I’m fine with it sometimes but only in very specific ways so best to just avoid it for this.)
*Medical torture is ok when Dr. Carmilla or another mad scientist is involved.
**Don't erase what Melanie did to her eyes obviously, just no gory details please.
***An exception is "pregnancy" for the Keyleth/Raishan. Go right ahead if that's where your muse takes you. Also an exception if you're writing Tonker/Lofty because obviously in canon that happened to Lofty, don't feel like you have to ignore that having happened, just please don't go super detailed.
Some prompt specific DNWs are:
The Magnus Archives: no character death for Basira, Daisy, Georgie, or Melanie
The Mechanisms: no permanent character death/DTTM content.
Original Works: no rape of the callgirl by the CEO.
Things I really like: character A teaching character B to defend themselves, bandaging wounds, navigating polyamory, Oh No There Is Only One Bed, whump, hurt/comfort (with a happy ending), nonsexual BDSM, sexual BDSM, trauma recovery, asexual characters in romantic relationships, mad scientists, lore & legends, retribution (disproportionate or not) for a transgression/trespass of some kind, revenge, characters trauma-bonding, characters getting drenched in blood, symbolic dreams, tentacles (sexy or not), xenokink/monsterfucking, powerplays and power reversals, vampires, werewolves, messy and even unhealthy relationships, supportive and loving relationships, hypnotism (consensual or non-consensual), coping with long-term injuries and/or scars, roadtrips, pirate AUs, space pirate AUs, consensual voyeurism, masturbation, bondage, wax play/other sensation play, spanking with hands, flogging/whipping, D/s roleplay, sex toys, knifeplay, gunkink, threesomes, kink negotiation, polyamory, first time sex, virginity fetishizing, ravishment fantasy, dubious consent acknowledged as such, bdsm session where a character calls their safeword and they have to stop the scene, aftercare, bratty bottoms getting taught manners, service kink, orgasm denial (that eventually ends, not unending torture), multiple orgasms, two dominants double-teaming a sub and just lavishing love and attention on them.
(You don’t need to include any of these! I'm just listing some things I like so you get a better sense of me.)

Requests:
Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812
Elena "Hélène" Vasilyevna Kuragina/Natalya "Natasha" Ilyinichna Rostova
These two are so exquisite together. So much chemistry. Please, anything, anything at all. Helene seducing her at the opera, during the fashion routine, at the dinner instead of her brother, anywhere. Natasha taking the initiative and deciding to be wild for once. There are so many ways to ruin a young girl with scandal. Feel free to have Natasha enjoy her ruining or not.
The Magnus Archives
Agnes Montague/Gertrude Robinson
Annabelle Cane/Melanie King
Georgie Barker/Melanie King
Basira Hussain/Melanie King/Alice "Daisy" Tonner
Julia Montauk/Alice "Daisy" Tonner
Love werewolves. Love complex women. Love ethically dubious women. This podcast is wonderful. Feel free to ignore any events of S5 as you see fit.
Agnes/Gertrude: There is so much to explore here. How much of their feelings are their own vs the Web's machinations, the murders, the various people they've known over the years. What does it feel like when Gertrude gets herself off, to Agnes, and vice versa?
Annabelle/Melanie: I just think this would be interesting. Maybe Annabelle is her therapist. Maybe they meet in a sex club. Maybe Melanie picks the Web as her way to vengeance against Elias. Feel free to use all the mind control, dubious consent, outright rape, hypnotism/manipulation content you desire with these two.
Georgie/Melanie: We don't know much about them, with all the supernatural stuff happening and them getting not much in the way of recording-time. I want to know more. How is Melanie adjusting? Georgie's had to adjust to first her ex and now her new girlfriend living with her, what has that been like for her? Did Georgie ever see Melanie during a rage? Do they start a new podcast together about something non-supernatural, like reviewing audio descriptions options on movies? How are they doing in the Apocalypse now? (If we find out how they are between now and whenever you write, feel free to go wildly AU!) I'm not a huge fan of how Melanie was treated during much of the show, I'd especially love to see her shine in a fic.
Basira/Melanie/Daisy: These three are so powerful ... put them together and see what happens. Maybe sparring practice gets heated. Maybe Melanie hits on one and finds out they're a package deal. Maybe Melanie conspires with one to seduce the other and they all end up together. Maybe a werewolf hunt roleplay happens.
Julia/Daisy: werewolves werewolves WEREWOLVES. Maybe one or both of them goes into heat. Maybe they run into each other on a hunt and fight each other instead. Maybe they have a disastrous date after a tinder match. I just really want them to meet up and clash, violently if necessary.
Discworld (Monstrous Regiment)
Magda "Tonker" Halter/Tilda "Lofty" Tewt
Igorina/Polly "Ozzer" Perks
Igorina/Maladict
Maladict/Polly "Ozzer" Perks
This is one of my favorite Discworld novels, and that's saying something because I literally have the Ankh-Morpork crest tattooed on my arm.
I love these characters so very much. I love the camaraderie and close bonds that are strengthened by what they go through together. Every re-read I feel like Tonker and Lofty hit my heart harder and harder.
I have a fondness for the Igor clan, feel free to add in as much lore as you like if you write about Igorina.
Critical Role
Captain Avantika/Jester Lavorre
Captain Avantika/Beauregard Lionett
Cassandra de Rolo/Vex'ahlia
Keyleth/Raishan
Keyleth/Vex'ahlia
Captain Avantika/Jester Lavorre: What if Jester wasn't just angry about the Avantika/Fjord dynamic because of her crush on Fjord, but because she had a crush on Avantika too? AU where Avantika fixates on Jester instead. AU where Jester decides to try and seduce Avantika and it works. What If alternate where Avantika is in port and Jester wants to flirt with the beautiful woman in the tavern. Smut would be great. So would confused pining and Jester sorting out her feelings for Avantika.
Captain Avantika/Beauregard Lionett: What if Beau had seduced her instead? What if Avantika requested her one night instead of Fjord? What if they met up before the campaign in a port? Feel free to lean into Beau's canonical masochism with what games they might play in bed. What if Avantika comes back for vengeance and Beau ends up at her mercy?
Cassandra de Rolo/Vex'ahlia: I'm very interested in what conversations they'd have about trauma, recovery, losing a mother young, etc. Cassandra deserves more written about her. Feel free to go full AU, have some kind of discrete and careful arrangement worked out between the siblings, or play up the decadent nobility angle of the de Rolo siblings sharing a lover. If you want to touch on how Vex and Delilah have some resemblances, go right ahead!
Keyleth/Raishan: Literally anything. Hatesex. Fighting. Raishan captures Keyleth and torments her for ages. Role reversal where Keyleth is evil and Raishan is her captive. AU where Keyleth is disillusioned with the Ashari and finds Raishan and they become allies.
Keyleth/Vex'ahlia: There were some lovely hints in the early campaign, how about a What If where Keyleth and Vex got together? Or post-finale, they're both grieving and take comfort in each other. Or a fun girl's trip together on a hunt in the woods. Or a Modern AU.
Jennifer's Body
Jennifer Check/Anita "Needy" Lesnicki
Ahhhhh this movie! This movie. I'd be into fic taking place before the film, during, or after where Jennifer comes back somehow. I love the exploration of close, toxic, female friendships in high school and the process of working through them.
The Mechanisms
The Aurora/Nastya Rasputina
Ivy Alexandria/The Aurora/Nastya Rasputina
Dr Carmilla/Nastya Rasputina
Recently got into this band and OH WOW. So much lore! Feel free to incorporate anything you like from canon, or make up your own, just know I haven't delved much into Maki's lore on Dr. Carmilla yet.
I'm fascinated by the Aurora and Nastya's dynamic. Please mend my broken heart after I read "Out."
I'm intrigued by how Ivy would get on with those two and what sex would be like for all three of them. Does Aurora perhaps ride alone in Ivy's brain for a bit?
For Dr. Carmilla and Nastya ... all the vampire sire/childre angst is appreciated. So is them meeting up after the events of the fiction and albums and reconnecting, either angrily or not so much.

Yukimi noh Daiomoru/Keladry of Mindelan
I grew up on these books. Literally anything you write for them would be wonderful. I love how much these women appreciate each other's beauty in general, and their strength in battle. Also Jonathan is awful, the older I get the more I dislike him. I would prefer no cheating/adultery but if you can arrange something that has everyone happy enough, go ahead.
Original Work
CEO/Callgirl Who Used to Be Her Assistant
Vampire/Vampire Hunter/Maiden Kidnapped by the Vampire
Outdated Sexbot/Junkyard Owner
Pirate Queen/Girl Given as Tribute
Stolen Human Raised By Faeries/Changeling Raised By Humans
New Superhero/Experienced Supervillain
Dragon/Princess/Knight come to save the princess
Forgotten Evil God/Unwary Hiker Who Stumbles Upon The Ruins Of Her Temple
Rakish Thief/Lawful Good Knight
Forest Goddess/Female Outlaw Hiding In Her Forest
These pairings are all so intriguing to me! Just heed my DNWs and let your imagination run wild. Check out the "things I like" section above for more ideas if you want. Here's some specific thoughts I've had about these pairings though:
CEO/Callgirl Who Used to Be Her Assistant: I'd much prefer the callgirl take charge and dom her former boss, to their mutual delight. Maybe they had fantasies about each other before, but couldn't indulge until now.
Vampire/Vampire Hunter/Maiden Kidnapped by the Vampire: This could go a lot of ways, classic villainous vampire seduction, maiden conspiring to get herself double teamed, or the hunter entranced by the two of them and succumbing to her desires.
Outdated Sexbot/Junkyard Owner: I'm big into robot ethics, would love to see either the junkyard owner restarting the sexbot out of personal interest, or purely financial concerns before the sexbot seduces her. Would prefer the sexbot to have agency rather than being helpless the whole time.
Pirate Queen/Girl Given as Tribute: I'm up for either full on ravishment, or the Pirate Queen being gentle and the tribute entirely enjoying herself. Would prefer a virginal tribute.
Stolen Human Raised By Faeries/Changeling Raised By Humans: I adore changeling narratives. Big fan of Changeling the Lost especially. Would love to see these two bonding via shared trauma, but one taking vengeance on the other for circumstances out of their control would be great too. Feel free to play up the unsettling nature of them resembling each other.
New Superhero/Experienced Supervillain: This is just pure id for me, like ... go full on bdsm indulgence, the anxious hero startled by how much she enjoys being tied up in a death trap. Perhaps the villain is surprised at how different this is with a new, young, very beautiful hero in her clutches?
Dragon/Princess/Knight come to save the princess: Similar to the vampire idea above, I'm down for either classic villainous dragon, a princess who wants to get ravished by both of them, or a heroic knight who succumbs to her desires.
Forgotten Evil God/Unwary Hiker Who Stumbles Upon The Ruins Of Her Temple: I just love horror where someone stumbles into a place they should not be and awakens something dangerous. Go as weird as you like, tentacles, statue come to life, a shimmering form. Is the hiker the first new worshipper, or a vessel for the god to be reborn?
Rakish Thief/Lawful Good Knight: This has a lot of fun potential. Is the thief rescuing the knight, trying to angle for being released from a harsh sentence, corrupting a noble virtuous maiden? Is the knight grappling with a longtime crush, pursuing someone who can't refuse her? Or are they a pair of longtime battle friends from a classic D&D party blowing off steam after a fight?
Forest Goddess/Female Outlaw Hiding In Her Forest: I love legends and lore, feel free to draw from reality or invent your own goddess. Does the outlaw worship this goddess already, or is she brought to worship in exchange for safety?
