Fic in a Box 2022

[melacka]

Dear creator

Thanks for stopping by! I’m so excited about this exchange and I can’t wait to see what you create for me. In this letter, I’ll go over some of my general likes, dislikes and DNWs, as well as some more specific information about the fandoms and ships/characters I’m requesting. A couple of things before I get into that, though. First, I am equally happy to receive content for any of my requested fandom, regardless of the order in which they appear in this letter or how much detail I go into when discussing them. I love all of these fandoms and am always looking for new content for them, so whichever one you matched with me on, I will be thrilled to receive content for it. Secondly, I am a multi-shipper across most of the fandoms that I read, and I have very few genuine NOTPs, so as long as you respect my DNWs, any background pairing you fancy is welcome along with the main ship or character I have requested. Where relevant, I have listed which pairings I very specifically Do Not Want for each fandom but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out via the mods. Also, I haven’t gone into detail about the different opt-ins that I’ve selected as I basically just chose the ones that looked like fun for the fandoms.

General Likes: focus on female characters, friendship, mutual pining, idiots in love, banter, flirting, friends to lovers, enemies to friends to lovers, uneasy allies, antagonistic flirting, AUs, ALL THE TROPES (sharing a bed, trapped together, fake dating, huddling for warmth etc). I’m fine with any rating and most genres.

Prefer not to have: kidfic/pregnancy fic (mentions are fine, just not the main focus of the fic), A/B/O, unhappy endings

Hard DNWs: Non-con/dub-con (unless a sex pollen situation), incest (relationships between cousins in Austen works is fine), bestiality, watersports, hard D/s (mild D/s themes are fine), fisting, non-canon MCD, relentless angst, mpreg, permanent genderswap, humiliation (in both sexual and non-sexual contexts), animal cruelty, horror, graphic description of violence/torture.

And now, on to the fandoms! I have organised them first by category (Books and TV) and then alphabetically. I have given a mix of general prompts and some that are specific to a ship/character. If none of these prompts work for you, however, or if you would prefer to take a prompt from one fandom/pairing and use it for another, please go ahead. I just know it can be helpful to have a few indications of the sorts of things that your recipient likes, but I don’t want to box you in if none of the prompts work for you. Also, for some of the bigger fandoms where I have requested the full number of ships/characters, I don't have prompts for all of them. I just ran out of steam... Sorry. But again, please feel free to take any of the prompts listed below and apply them to your preferred fandom/pairing/character, or just disregard them entirely and do your own thing!

Harry Potter

Fandom Specific DNWs: Voldemort wins AUs, Draco/Harry, Harry/Ginny or Ron/Hermione (background pairing okay, just not as a main focus), Snape/Lily (in a romantic relationship, platonic fine), Death Eaters portrayed as heroes or as a romantic focus (Snape is the exception), character bashing, perfect!Hermione, Next-Gen stories, Cursed Child storylines.

Fandom Specific Likes: I generally prefer fics where the characters are adults and I don’t really care for the Epilogue, but these aren't deal-breakers. I generally prefer het or wlw fics, but I'm not opposed to mlm stuff and always love gen fic. Having said that, I’m a multi-shipper in this fandom and have read a WIDE range of fic and pairings, so as long as you respect my DNWs, I’ll probably enjoy whatever you come up with!

 

General Prompts (Any pairing/character)

Prompt 1: Character A withdraws from the Wizarding World after the war and cuts contact with most people she knew. Character B runs into them and they start hanging out. Neither of them know whether they're dating or not but they help each other deal with trauma/bad feelings about the wizarding world/the war. Friends to lovers with a side of mutual pining, perhaps?

Prompt 2: Rival Professors at Hogwarts, the classic rivals to lovers story.

Prompt 3: A potions accident/spell backfiring leads to long-term consequences for Character A, e.g. amnesia, unusual behaviours like singing uncontrollably or compulsively telling the truth or something, and Character B is tasked with helping them get back to normal. Alternatively, it could be a body-swap situation where Character A and Character B swap bodies and need to figure out how to fix it.

Prompt 5: Soulmate AU (I love all variations on this trope, pick your favourite and go for it!)

Prompt 2: Muggle AU, Lily Evans works in a bookshop and James Potter is the annoying customer always trying to flirt with her.

Solo: Harry Potter, Solo: Lily Evans Potter, Solo: Ginny Weasley

For these three, I am interested in ANY extra details about their lives. Their childhoods and relationships with their families, what it was like being the odd one out (the only magical one for Harry and Lily, the only girl for Ginny) and how they managed to find their niche. I’d love something about their lives after Hogwarts, including what career options they explored and what that looked like.

 

WB: Hogwarts

I don’t have a lot to say about this. Just give me all the worldbuilding about Hogwarts. There is so much detail in the books but still so much left unexplored or unexplained.

 

The Hunger Games

Fandom specific DNWs: Katniss/Gale, Snow in a romantic relationship with anyone.

Fandom Specific Likes: This is one of the fandoms where I am happy to read things that are a little darker or go heavy on the angst, as there is so much of that in canon, but I still really want a happy or hopeful ending! I love to read about healing from trauma or finding ways to move forward with your life.

Katniss Everdeen/Peeta Mellark

Prompt 1: Royalty AU, either in THG universe or at any point in our own history.

Prompt 2: Prim befriends Peeta and decides to play matchmaker with him and Katniss, without either of them being aware of her machinations. No games/no reaping AU or modern AU preferred, but if you can make it work as a canon-compliant fic, go for it!

Prompt 3: Catching Fire AU. Katniss and Peeta actually talk about what happened during the Hunger Games and find a way to friendship/understanding before the Victory Tour, maybe spend some time together and a relationship develops more naturally. I’d love to see them teaching each other new things, like Katniss takes Peeta into the woods or Peeta tries to teach her how to bake.

Prompt 4: Modern AU. Stranded due to bad weather, total strangers Katniss and Peeta end up having the weirdest Not a Date evening together

Prompt 5: Peeta is rescued along with Katniss and is taken to District 13. How does this change the events of Mockingjay and the development of the relationship between Katniss and Peeta?

WB: Any

Give me all the historical details! The Hunger Games throughout the years, how the Districts developed or changed, details about how things work behind the scenes, whatever you like. I’ve read all the books, including the prequel, so you can expand on details found in any of them.

Mansfield Park

Fandom Specific DNW: Fanny/Edmund (unless as a background pairing only or as a relationship from the past), non-redeemed Henry ending up with Fanny. Also, please do not completely change Fanny’s personality without some genuine growth or change prompting it. She’s shy and quiet and reserved and that’s okay, she’s also loyal and sweet and kind. She doesn’t need to be given a personality transplant to be interesting to me.

Fandom Specific Likes: When I request this fandom, my main hope is that I’ll receive something that has Fanny’s happiness and fulfillment at its centre. If you prefer Fanny/Edmund I’m happy with that provided I can see the change in him so that he starts to admire, love and respect her as a woman and romantic prospect rather than just a cousin. Same goes for Henry, I am only interested in his relationship with Fanny when he makes a real effort to change for the better. I also opt in to characters from any other Austen novel appearing, I love them all!

General Prompts

Prompt 1: Instead of going back to Mansfield Park after staying with her family, Fanny goes to live as a companion to a young widow, distant relative or friend of the family, perhaps. She is finally able to live more freely and enjoy her life, away from Mansfield Park. Can be romance or gen, het or wlw.

Prompt 2: Henry Crawford doesn’t run away with Maria but instead improves himself, he meets up with Fanny sometime in the future and initiates a gentler, more considered courtship. Fanny is initially cautious but grows to accept and welcome over time.

Prompt 3: Modern AU, Henry is an actor in the theatre and Fanny works in the wardrobe department.

Prompt 4: Arranged Marriage/Marriage of Convenience AU, finding a way to live happily together.

Prompt 5: Five things fic of most important moments/people in Fanny’s life, preferably something new not already explored in the novel but I am happy for you to go over some of the same ground if you’re adding fresh detail or more insight into how it impacted on Fanny and her life.

Pride and Prejudice

Fandom Specific DNWs: Darcy with anyone other than Elizabeth, Mr Collins as anything other than a background character, Wickham portrayed as a sympathetic character.

Fandom Specific Likes: I’m mainly in this fandom for Elizabeth/Darcy, tbh. I love their story and can read it over and over again in any variation you care to write. I have developed quite a fondness for wlw romance in this fandom over the last few years as well. This is a fandom where I don’t mind adultery as a way of avoiding a desperately unhappy marriage. So, I’m perfectly happy to have Charlotte have an affair while she’s married to Mr Collins, but I don’t want Elizabeth to have an affair while she’s married to Darcy. So, if you want to write about Charlotte and Elizabeth in a romantic relationship, then either make it a modern AU, set it before Elizabeth marries Darcy or after he dies, please.

Pairing/Character Specific Prompts

 

Elizabeth Bennet/Fitzwilliam Darcy

Prompt 1: Elizabeth and Darcy meet up in London sometime after Kent but before Pemberley. They are forced into close proximity and they both use it as an opportunity to show the other how they have changed. Can stay as close to canon or diverge as far as you like!

Prompt 2: When Elizabeth is forced to cut her trip short and return home, she and Georgiana keep in touch by letter. Georgiana acts as gentle matchmaker between Elizabeth and Darcy.

Prompt 3: Modern AU with Darcy as a famous writer and Lizzy as the girl in the small English village that has to put up with him staying in her bed and breakfast.

 

 

Elizabeth Bennet/Charlotte Lucas, Catherine Bennet/Georgiana Darcy, Mary Bennet/Anne de Bourgh

Prompt 1: Five things fic, five times they were almost caught (kissing, sharing a bed, dancing together, hiding away, whatever) and one time they actually were.

Prompt 2: No homophobia AU where rumours continue to swirl about their relationship but they keep denying anything more than friendship.

Prompt 3: Modern Roommates to Lovers AU

 

 

Jane Bennet/Charles Bingley

Prompt 1: Jane travels to Derbyshire with Elizabeth and the Gardiners and reunites with Bingley, how does this change their story? Do they come to an understanding earlier? Does it take longer for the Bennet sisters to hear about Lydia’s elopement because Jane isn’t there to write to Elizabeth? Does Bingley become involved somehow in the situation with Lydia along with Darcy?

Prompt 2: A chance meeting while they’re both in London. I’m happy for this one to either be a one off that doesn’t ultimately change the course of the story (e.g. just one of them seeing the other and angsting about it or them both seeing the other and angsting about it) or for it to have a happier outcome where they are able to reconnect and deepen their relationship.

Prompt 3: Bingley does not allow himself to be persuaded to stay away and returns to Netherfield only a little later than planned, but he is shocked to find that he suddenly has a rival for Jane’s affections. Whether this rivalry is all in his head (or only fuelled by the gossip mill) or if it’s a genuine threat to their happiness is up to you. How does Bingley react? What convinces him of Jane’s true affections? How does he convince her of his?

 

 

Colonel Fitzwilliam/Charlotte Lucas

Prompt 1: They start a discrete flirtation on one of his trips to Rosings and it lasts for years.

Prompt 2: Charlotte travels to Pemberley to visit Elizabeth after the death of Mr Collins and is pleased to find the Colonel is staying with them as well.

Prompt 3: Colonel Fitzwilliam visits Mr Darcy while he is staying at Netherfield and causes quite a sensation among the local ladies, and everyone is surprised to find his attentions concentrated on Charlotte Lucas. Whether Mr Collins is in town at the same time is up to you, but that would be quite an unusual love triangle!

 

 

Caroline Bingley/Colonel Fitzwilliam, Catherine Bennet/Colonel Fitzwilliam

Prompt 1: After Darcy marries Elizabeth, Colonel Fitzwilliam finds himself in more frequent company with Caroline/Kitty and enjoys a mild flirtation with her. Over time, he begins to value her company more than he thought possible and begins to contemplate a more permanent commitment.

Prompt 2: Colonel Fitzwilliam meets Caroline/Kitty at a public assembly or dinner party, and they hit it off, without knowing the connections they share. After they part company, both sides are determined to manufacture another opportunity to spend time together, possibly they are both hilariously bad at it or they keep just missing each other.

Prompt 3: Modern AU based on the bet between Amy and Jake in S1 of Brooklyn 99.

 

 

Fitzwilliam Darcy & Georgiana Darcy, Colonel Fitzwilliam & Georgiana Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet & Charlotte Lucas, Elizabeth Bennet & Jane Bennet, Elizabeth Bennet & Georgiana Darcy, Bennet Sisters Gen

Prompt 1: Any moments from their childhood/younger years, family secrets, celebrations, shenanigans, parties or holidays.

Prompt 2: How does marriage alter the relationships between siblings/friends/cousins? How do they keep in touch? Are they able to visit each other or do they meet in a third location (e.g. London)?

Prompt 3: Attempting to learn a new skill as a bonding exercise, painting, singing, a new language, etc.

 

 

Charles Bingley & Fitzwilliam Darcy

Prompt 1: The early days of their friendship, maybe some of the early scrapes that Darcy helped Bingley out of.

Prompt 2: Their time together in London after leaving Hertfordshire or on their travels to Pemberley. How do they pass the time together? Or after they come back to Netherfield and reunite with the Bennets, perhaps something about Darcy admitting his involvement in separating Bingley and Jane and how they deal with that. I’d really love to see what their friendship means to them.

Prompt 3: Darcy and Bingley travel to the continent together, it’s up to you when they do this and if you want to set it sometime before, during or after canon. If after canon, I’m happy to have Elizabeth and Jane included as well.

 

 

Buffyverse

Fandom Specific DNWs: Buffy/Spike or Angel/Cordelia (background mentions are okay, just not as the main pairing), Connor or Kennedy as main characters, fics set primarily in Season 7. I’d prefer something that only uses the canon from the TV shows rather than the comics.

Fandom Specific Likes: BUFFY (seriously I love her and just want her to be happy). In terms of shipping, I ship Buffy with just about everyone. I only like Spuffy when it's more antagonistic (up to S5) but will always read Buffy with Angel, Giles, Faith, Cordelia, Tara, Willow, Oz, Xander, Darla ... you get the picture. I love the friendships on the show and how they can be seen as symbolic of other things in Buffy’s life. I do read AUs for this fandom (and have some prompts for that listed below) but I usually prefer something that stays in universe.

Pairing/Character Specific Prompts

 

Buffy Summers & Willow Rosenberg & Xander Harris, Rupert Giles & Buffy Summers

Prompt 1: After Sunnydale is destroyed, they go off on their own to spend some quality time together. A classic road trip to repair the relationship, perhaps?

Prompt 2: What happens between the seasons? After Season 1 and 2, we know that Buffy isn’t around, but what about the others? I’d love to see a fic that fleshes out what happens over those summer months.

Prompt 3: Five times they shared a meal + one time they shared something else (drink, room, secret, book, bed, etc)

 

 

Angel/Buffy Summers

Prompt 1: Either Buffy or Angel is struck down by a serious illness that is almost certainly magical in nature and the other needs to called in to help cure them/pick up the slack/kill something.

Prompt 2: The curse is resolved for arbitrary fic reasons but there are still obstacles to Buffy and Angel reuniting.

Prompt 3: Human Bodyguard AU.

 

 

Rupert Giles/Buffy Summers, Rupert Giles/Willow Rosenberg

Prompt 1: Undercover mission where they have to pretend to be a couple. Buffy/Willow still sucks at undercover but she’s surprisingly good at pretending to be in love with Giles. Who’d have thought?

Prompt 2: Giles invites Buffy/Willow to spend the Christmas and New Year period with him years after the destruction of Sunnydale. Can be established relationship if you prefer or getting together fic.

Prompt 3: Buffy/Willow and Giles have to deal with a magical accident that forces them to be in constant contact with each other.

 

 

Tara Maclay/Willow Rosenberg

Prompt 1: After their breakup in Season 6, Willow attempts to win Tara back by beginning a good old fashioned courtship. There is so much pain in their past and they both have so much baggage that they decide to try starting over completely fresh, going on their first date, sharing their first kiss, sleeping together for the first time, etc.

Prompt 2: Tara lives AU. Seriously. Anything where Tara lives and Seeing Red isn’t a thing. Take it where you will. Let them be happy.

Prompt 3: Tara leaves Sunnydale after the events of Family in S5. What does Willow do? Does she track her down and convince her to come back? Or does she decide to leave Sunnydale behind once and for all in order to keep Tara in her life?

 

 

Tara Maclay/Buffy Summers

Prompt 1: After her breakdown in Dead Things, Buffy recognises that she needs a change. She decides to go on a road trip for a few weeks and asks Tara along for the ride (you can decide whether to bring Dawn along for the ride or keep her at home with Willow).

Prompt 2: It’s Buffy who befriends Tara in S4 and Buffy who questions her sexuality. How does this change things?

Prompt 3: Tara Lives AU, Tara survives the attack from Warren but decides to leave Sunnydale. Years later after Sunnydale is destroyed, Tara tracks Buffy down and they reconnect. It starts just small and friendly but over time, it becomes something else entirely.

 

 

Rupert Giles/Ethan Rayne

Prompt 1: I’d love to see something about their early, wild days together. How did they meet? Did they hit it off right away? What about the first time they tried magic together? Who suggested it and how did it go?

Prompt 2: On again, off again friends with benefits arrangement, perhaps a five things fic? Five times they fucked and one time they made love? Five times Giles sought out Ethan and one time Ethan sought out Giles? Something like that. I love five things fics, btw.

Prompt 3: Post-series, meeting up and grieving over their past selves, how much they’ve lost, etc.

 

 

Faith Lehane/Buffy Summers

Prompt 1: Buffy starts to write to Faith in prison and it escalates to phone calls and then visits. How does this change their relationship?

Prompt 2: Buffy meets Faith in LA after she runs away from Sunnydale at the end of Season 2. They develop an intense attraction and start to spend more and more time together but neither know that the other is a Slayer.

Prompt 3: AU of Season 7 where Faith comes back to Sunnydale earlier, seeking sanctuary with Buffy. Maybe you could use elements from the season without incorporating the potentials and the First (both of which I’d prefer to skip)? Like Faith is in danger and needs Buffy’s help. So maybe they could go from being mutually antagonistic to uneasy allies to friends to lovers?

 

 

Cordelia Chase/Xander Harris

Prompt 1: Tell me about some of the dates they went on. We saw that they were a relatively solid couple for some of the time they were together, what did they do together? Did they go out or mainly just park somewhere and make out? Did they try to hide from people when they were out? Did they ever run into trouble of a supernatural kind?

Prompt 2: They stay in touch after Cordelia leaves Sunnydale, usually keeping it pretty simple and light but as their lives get more and more complicated, they find themselves relying on that small amount of contact more and more.

Prompt 3: You’ve Got Mail AU

 

 

Daniel “Oz” Osbourne/Willow Rosenberg

Prompt 1: Missing moments. What was their first real date like? How did they spend the summer after Season 2? How did they recover after the Willow kissed Xander? What happened when they met each other’s families? Anything along those lines would be great.

Prompt 2: Reuniting years later. Remember Willow’s line about meeting on a corner in Istanbul? Something like that.

Prompt 3: Willow decides to leave Sunnydale to attend university in England and Oz goes with her. Does it work out? Does she still get in touch with the supernatural side of life? Does she go back to Sunnydale?

 

 

Jenny Calender/Rupert Giles

Prompt 1: Jenny lives! How does her survival change the course of S2? What does it take for her and Giles truly reconcile?

Prompt 2: Give me a story about the dates these two go on that we never get to see, especially the time Jenny took Giles to monster trucks!

Prompt 3: Giles never tells Jenny that Buffy is the slayer but tries to keep it secret even as their relationship deepens. How does this change things, especially considering Jenny has some secrets of her own.

 

 

Rupert Giles & Wesley Wyndam-Pryce

Prompt 1: Giles and Wesley meet earlier than in canon, maybe at a Watchers Council event? Does their introduction go better when they don’t have the pressure of Wesley taking Giles’ job?

Prompt 2: Giles helping train Wesley in combat during their Sunnydale days.

Prompt 3: Giles and Wesley keeping in contact after he starts working with Angel in LA, sharing details about what’s going on and trading ideas, battle tactics, gossip etc. 

 

Criminal Minds

Fandom specific DNWs: Gideon as a main focus, any romantic pairing involving Reid, focus on canon relationships (Morgan/Savannah, Garcia/Sam, Garcia/Kevin etc, the exception to this is JJ/Will who I am always happy to read about).

Fandom specific likes: I have a strong preference for the early seasons and the core group from S3-5. I stopped watching early in S11 but I am familiar with the storylines for later seasons if you want to focus on them. I just really love the relationships between the core members of the BAU and am equally happy with gen or ship fic for this fandom, provided the focus is on the core group.

Pairing/Character Specific Prompts

Elle Greenaway/Aaron Hotchner

Prompt 1: Undercover as a married couple leads to real feelings.

Prompt 2: Elle becomes an Unsub and Aaron tracks her down.

Prompt 3: Five times Aaron ran into Elle by accident + one time it was on purpose.

Penelope Garcia/Aaron Hotchner, Penelope Garcia/Derek Morgan

Prompt 1: Aaron/Derek tries to get into one of Penelope’s hobbies to get closer to her and spend more time with her.

Prompt 2: Penelope is nervous about a new play and Aaron/Derek offers to help her rehearse.

Prompt 3: Aaron/Derek discover that Penelope has joined a cabaret/burlesque performance.

Prompt 4: Aaron/Derek pretends to be Penelope’s boyfriend/partner/fiancée/husband in order to protect her from an unsub and then they have to keep up the ruse.

Prompt 5: Florist AU

Prompt 6: College AU, Aaron/Derek needs a French tutor and hires Penelope

Doctor Who

Fandom Specific DNWs: River Song, 11/Rose, 12/Bill (in a romantic relationship, platonic fine)

Fandom Specific Likes: I love Rose and Martha and Donna a whole lot and I just want good things for them. In terms of shipping, I’m mainly into Nine/Rose (+ Jack either romantically or platonically) and I have a strong preference for the RTD years of the show.

General Prompts (Any pairing/character)

Prompt 1: A misunderstanding on a new planet leads to an unfortunate marriage proposal. Who is doing the proposing, whether its accepted and what the consequences are is up to you.

Prompt 2: Five things fic about five new worlds we didn’t get to see on the show and the adventures had there.

Prompt 3: Unexpected domesticity in the TARDIS, what form does it take? How does the Doctor react?

Prompt 4: Dealing with past trauma, how do their travels change their perspectives? How does it help them to heal? Or does it just make it easier to forget the bad times?

Nine/Rose (+ Jack)

Prompt 1: Jack flirts outrageously with Rose in order to the make the Doctor jealous. They are all a little taken aback at how successful he is.

Prompt 2: The Doctor gets into spot of bother after offending some locals and Rose (+ Jack) have to use all their ingenuity to get him out of it.

Prompt 3: All human AU, the Doctor and Rose are both friends of Jack’s and they fancy each other. Jack tries to play matchmaker but both Rose and the Doctor are stubborn about it.

The Good Place

Fandom Specific DNWs: I don’t have any for this fandom!

Fandom Specific Likes: I love the humour of this show and how it blends so well with the serious message and ruminations on philosophy. I love the development of the friendships between the main characters and would love anything that explored that or any of the romantic pairings I’ve selected. I have a particular fondness for Chidi/Eleanor but I would be thrilled to receive any of the pairings/groups I’ve requested, whether romantic or platonic.

General Prompts (Any pairing/character)

Prompt 1: Something set in S1 or S2 where Michael is trying and failing to deceive the rest of them. Maybe some of his failed attempts that we didn’t get to see? How was the neighbourhood different? How did the truth come out?

Prompt 2: Something set after they make it to the real Good Place but before they each decide to move on, what are some of the things that they choose to do now that they can do absolutely anything?

Prompt 3: An AU where one of the other characters goes to find Eleanor instead of Eleanor going to find Chidi in S3.

Prompt 4: Mundane/All human AU where Character A and Character B wake up married in Vegas.

Prompt 5: Soulmate AU while they were alive on earth, tattoos, countdown on wrist, matching birthmarks, whichever you prefer, I enjoy them all! 

 

MASH

Fandom Specific DNWs: Hawkeye/BJ, Hawkeye/Charles

Fandom Specific Likes: I’m pretty flexible for this fandom. I’m quite happy to read stuff that could slot into canon, things that diverge from some point in canon, post-canon or total AU. I love to see an exploration of Hawkeye’s friendships with the people at the camp, or reconnecting after the War when everyone is back home. For Margaret and Hawkeye, I love the progression of the relationship over the course of the series. I would like either something while they’re still in Korea where they start some kind of clandestine relationship that they both feel the need to keep secret from everyone else, or something where they meet up in the US after the War is over and rekindle dormant feelings

General Prompts (Any pairing/character)

Prompt 1: Any character(s) adjusting back to life after the war.

Prompt 2: Post war reunions, either organised or spontaneous.

Prompt 3: A rowdy evening at the officers’ club or Rosie’s Bar.

Prompt 4: Giving in to temptation, what that temptation is and who is giving in to it is up to you.

Prompt 5: An exploration of what the characters’ lives were like before the war. 

We Are Lady Parts

Fandom Specific DNWs: any of the main characters abandoning their faith (questioning their faith and trying to reconcile it with the lives they want to live is perfectly fine, welcome even!)

Fandom Specific Likes: There isn’t much that I don’t love about this show, to be honest. I love the way that it portrays different Muslim women all living their lives, striving to find their purpose and meaning or just trying to get by. I love they have Ayesha being comfortable enough within herself to accept her attraction to women but still reticent about that information getting out. I love the relationships between the band members and also their families and other minor characters. I love the conflict that simmers beneath the surface but that they can put it aside to focus on what matters. Ugh. I just love it all. In terms of shipping, I enjoy Amina equally with Ahsan or Saira.

General Prompts (Any pairing/character)

Prompt 1: Character A and Character B clearly have feelings for each other but are in denial. Enter Character C, frustrated matchmaker who resorts to ever more unconventional methods to bring A and B together.

Prompt 2: For any of the listed characters, I’d love to see some of their backstory. How did they get where they are now? What are their relationships with the families like? What do they do when they’re not working? I’d really enjoy seeing a character driven story about self-development and discovery. Maybe resigning their job and going travelling or taking up a new hobby or falling for someone they never expected to be interested in.

Prompt 3: The band go on a road trip, perhaps after they find a little more success and they go on a tour? Or it could be for completely non-band reasons, like a wedding or some kind of festival that they want to go to?

Prompt 4: Taking a friend with you to a wedding and having to fend off unexpected questions about the nature of your relationship.

Prompt 5: How do they practice their faith? Give me fasting during Ramadan, going clothes shopping for Eid, mehndi/henna, praying for guidance, going to the mosque, etc. If that’s not your thing, how about how they see the role of faith in their lives? How they think and feel about it? What kind of family traditions are inextricably linked to religion in their minds?

And we're done! Phew, that got really long. I'm sorry if the pairing you were looking for was a little light on prompts (or missing entirely), but please know that as long as you respect my DNWs for each fandom, I'd be happy with any of the above prompts for any of my requests.

Thanks again for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
