Chronicles of Elantra - Michelle Sagara
Fanfiction, Any Character
We saw more about Teela in the last 3 books, but there's still so much we're missing that I'm curious about. Why did she feel so strongly about Kaylin that she was willing to go to war for her? How did she meet Tain? Why did she really join the Hawks? What was her time there like before Kaylin?
Or Bellusdeo - I adore her, but we get so little from her perspective. The books tell us quite a bit about how Kaylin feels about the arcane bomb, but what did Bellusdeo really think about it? Or I'd love to read something that goes more into her feelings about Elantra. Or you could write about her relationship with the Arkon, either when they were young or now. Or does she know about the Emperor's conversation with Kaylin? What does she think?
I am also interested in either Teela or Bellusdeo's relationship with Kaylin. Kaylin doesn't have many actual friends and we don't see much of her actual friendships when there's not a crisis in the books, so I would love a deeper look at them. (I'd also enjoy Teela/Kaylin femslash, but it would be hard to manage, so I don't really expect it.)

DCU (Comics)
Stephanie Brown (DC Comics), Cassandra Cain (DC Comics), Barbara Gordon (DC Comics), Fanfiction
I love Barbara, especially as Oracle. Tell me more about her mentoring Cass and/or Steph; tell me about her relationship with Dinah. Write about her learning to hack or her first hack; tell me about the work she does behind the scenes that we don't see. Or maybe just a Bat story where Oracle saves the day.
I love Cass and Steph together, especially, as friends or lovers, but separately works, too. Write about what Cass thinks of Steph as Batgirl, or about Cass's attempts to live even a semi-normal life. Tell me what she thinks of Gotham or why she put on the Batgirl costume in the first place.
Tell me more stories of Steph's college adventures; is she doing any better at combining it with being Batgirl? Write more about her relationship with Cass and/or Barbara or more times she helped the police. Or you could write more about her relationship with the other Bats, too; she's in an unusual position as far as the Batfamily goes and I'd love to see something that looked at that more closely.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Leliana (Inquisition), Josephine Montilyet (Inquisition), Cassandra Pentaghast (Inquisition), Dagna (Inquisition), Fanfiction
I'm fascinated by the changes in Leliana between Origins and Inquisition; I'd love to read something that explores more of what went into that. Maybe the story of one of her missions for Justinia? Or you could tell a story of her friendship with Josephine or give her perspective on any of the events of the games. What is she doing behind the scenes that the Inquisitor doesn't see?
My requests for Cassandra are much the same: I think she's fantastic and I'd love to read more about her. Tell me about her decision to learn to fight or her time as Seeker. Elaborate on her relationship with Justinia. Give her perspective on Varric's tale. Tell me what she thinks of the Inquisition.
I'm really interested in Josephine's life as well. Given her family's situation, I find it curious that she was able to have the life in Orlais that she did; I'd love to read more about it. Or tell me about her work behind the scenes of the Inquisition: the nobles she soothes, the excuses she makes for the Inquisitor, etc.
And Dagna is both adorable and really interesting. What was her life really like in the Circles where she studied? How did the mages and templars treat her? Has she had any fun adventures between Origins and Inquisition? Does her unique perspective give her insight into magic or the Veil that others don't have? Did she suspect anything about Solas? What does she think about the Inquisition?
I also ship Leliana with either Josephine or Cassandra (or heck, all 3), so femslash very much welcomed.
Or maybe all 4 of them form the Inquisition book club; that could be tons of fun, too.

Fire Emblem: Soen no Kiseki/Akatsuki no Megami | Fire Emblem Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn
Elincia Ridell Crimea, Lukino | Lucia, Fanfiction
I ship these two like crazy, so feel absolutely free to go there. Beyond that, I'd love a story that looks more closely at the adjustments they both surely had to make after Elincia went from the hidden princess to Queen. Tell me a story of their childhood, when they thought she'd never be acknowledged. Or about Elincia learning to rule, maybe both of them studying history and law late into the night. Or tell me about Lucia's sword training - who taught her? Did she feel prepared for her position? Tell me about a mission Lucia's done beyond the one we see in the game. Show me Elincia playing politics and dealing with the nobility. Or show me when she learned to ride and wield a sword.

Star Wars - All Media Types
Padmé Amidala, Leia Organa, Fanfiction
For Padmé, I'm particularly interested in stories about her role in Republic politics. It's what she dedicated her life to, but because the prequels are Anakin's story, we see barely any of it. What was her reign as queen like before the Trade Federation blockade? What about after Episode I? Did the events of the movie make it easier or harder for her to rule? When and why did she decide to run for Senate? Show me her relationship with her handmaidens or her engaging in the sort of backroom deals that seem to be part of Republic politics. What did she think of the Senate once she joined it? Did she have belated suspicions about Palpatine (before things became obvious)?
Or I'd love to read about Leia. Tell me about her time as Senator, or about her other missions for the Rebels. Vader says she isn't on any mission of mercy "this time" when he boards her ship in ANH - tell me about that other time. Or tell me what she and the Rebels were doing on Hoth. What did Leia do for the Rebellion in general?
Or the Leia comic has made me really interested in the others from Alderaan who survived the planet's destruction. In a galactic civilization, surely many others were off-planet at the time. Did Leia try to reach them? Do they still consider her their princess? Does she try to keep Alderaanian culture alive and, if so, how?
Of course feel free to write about her relationships with Luke and Han as well.

Star Wars: Rebels
Fanfiction, Any Character
I adore Hera and would love just about any story about her. Tell me about where she learned to pilot or how she acquired Ghost and Chopper. Tell me more about her relationship with Kanan (yeah, I ship it). Tell me how she got her Rebel contacts and how much she really knows. Tell me about earlier missions she had before Ezra joined, either alone or with the other crew members.
And Sabine's pretty great, too. I'd love to read more about her training; it's alluded to, but not spelled out. How did she learn her skills with explosives? How did she leave the Empire? Is she really Mandalorian? How did she join everyone else? And it's clear she designed the Rebellion logo; does she design anything else for them?

Tales of the Abyss
Natalia Kimlasca-Lanvaldear, Fanfiction
I fell in love with Natalia from the moment we met her in game and nothing in the events of the game changed my opinion. Dutiful princesses who don't take any shit are completely my type. (See also: some of my other requests.) So tell me more about her! Tell me about the things she did for her people that made them love her so much. Tell me about her relationship with her adoptive father. Tell me about how and why she trained in archery. Tell me about her life after the end of the game - does she keep the promise she made Asch?

World of Warcraft
Jaina Proudmoore, Sylvanas Windrunner, Li Li Stormstout, Yrel, Fanfiction
Yrel is a great character, but we don't see much of her outside the main story. What was her life like on Draenor before the player characters arrived? Did she ever live on Argus? What did she expect of her future? Or a story about her perceptions of the newcomers would be interesting, too - what does she really think of these strangers from an alternate world (especially given that some of them are draenei)? Or future fic - what are her duties as an Exarch? Garrosh has been defeated; what happens to the draenei now?
I'm also really interested in the perceptions of those left behind. This Draenor must have an Azeroth of its own; how could any of those who hear about it not think about that and wonder? How does Jaina, in particular, feel about it? Does she want to find a way to go there and try again or is she past all that? For that matter, why did she stay behind and what is she doing during this time? We see her on Draenor once, when Khadgar is injured, and it's suggested she's there before that - what is she doing there?
Or tell me more about what she's doing with the Kirin Tor. Has the expulsion of the Sunreavers changed them? What are they doing now? Do other members disagree with her decisions? I also ship her and Vereesa, so you could write that, too.
I loved Li Li and her travel diaries and I think it's a real shame that she and the Pandaren will probably be basically completely neglected now. So what happens after the Alliance and the Horde have basically left Pandaria behind? Is Li Li involved in trying to fix what they broke? Does she become the explorer she longed to be? Does she leave Pandaria to wander Azeroth and have adventures of her own? Maybe she even makes her way to Draenor! Basically, more Li Li adventures, please!
And Sylvanas just kind of mystifies me lately and I'd love to read more about her. She's perfectly willing to use the plague on the worgen even against orders and she's using Scourge valkyr to raise more Undead; does none of this even bother her now? Who has she become? Was she actually involved in what happened at the Wrathgate? What are her real goals now? Does she intend to challenge Bolvar to become Lich King herself?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buffy Summers (BtVS), group: Buffy & Faith, Fanfiction
I ship it! Angsty or healthy and wholesome, whichever way you want, although if it’s angst I’d rather it were from Buffy’s POV – I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of Faith’s complicated feelings about Buffy, but would really like to see more exploration of Buffy’s complicated feelings about Faith.
That said, friends is also good! If they’re not making out post-series, then they are BFFs; I’d love to see some of that. Ideas:
- Crack. Tentacles, wings.
- Post-S7 slow friendship burn
- a/b/o where Faith’s an alpha like all good Slayers, and Buffy’s the omega oddball. Or any a/b/o really. (Gen a/b/o is fine too!!)
- One of them gets the other pregnant. I leave logistics up to you.
I would also be delighted with either of them on their own
- Buffy femslash w/ pretty much anyone in canon except Willow or incest. Whatever you ship, make me ship it.
- Buffy/Dru or Buffy&Dru. Dru visits Buffy in LA, in Rome, in her dreams – go wild. Go as screwed up as you like, except no vamping or noncom, please.
- Buffy + Dawn. Sisters, except way more complicated. They go on an adventure? Dawn has to save Buffy? Something key-related?
- Post-season Faith/Giles. Yessss. Fighting demons and leading Slayers; shirking all responsibility and getting frisky is a tiny Italian flat; magic and weapons and leather. Gimme.
- Faith + any female character, doing anything (including something sexy). Cordelia, Anya, Sunday, Drusilla?
(Note: I don’t know Ats nearly as well as BtVS, so I’d prefer something centered around the latter. I do love Illyria though.)

Downton Abbey
group: Mary & Lavinia, Fanfiction
- Fix-it fic – Lavinia doesn’t die. Maybe Matthew does. => Mary/Lavinia. Alternatively, Mary/Lavinia/Matthew.
- The girls find each other first; then they just have to seduce Matthew.
- CRACK. Arranged marriage, wings, a/b/o, magic. Do what you will.
- Never enough Boston marriage fic with these two, romantic or platonic.
- They run away together – Paris, America, wherever you like. Gen or shippy!
- Sexiness. First time(s). Kissing. Discovering each other. Being with a woman for the first time (which I expect it probably is for both if they're in a canonverse setting, although you're welcome to persuade me otherwise!).

Supernatural
Jo Harvelle, Meg Masters, Amelia Richardson, Tamara (Supernatural), Claire Novak, Fanfiction
Things I love for this fandom: creepiness, horror, women working together, My Fave Lives AUs, canon-divergent AUs of all kinds, complicated loyalties, complicated morality, stuff fitting the tone of the canon.
Things I’d rather not have for this fandom: deathfic, sexual menace, dwelling on canonical deaths of female characters, crack, fluff, non-canonverse AUs (coffee shop AU, space AU, etc), Charlie.
Ships I ship: Jo/Ruby 2.0, in some screwed-up AU where that makes sense (no demon!Jo, please); Claire/Jo, Claire/Tamara, Jo/Tamara, Claire/Kate the Werewolf, Jo/Kate the Werewolf (honestly I can be persuaded by most hunter/hunter and hunter/monster pairings); Jo/Castiel, Jo/Dean/Castiel; Meg/Castiel; Claire/Castiel, in all its sort-of incestuous goodness; Sam/Amelia (THEY WERE MESSES TOGETHER); Sam/Tamara; Dean/Ellen (she keeps him in his place, and he likes it, but she also takes care of him, and he kicks against that even though he needs it). Also genfic of all kinds for any of those pairs or trios of people. Also complicated relationship Jo+Ellen fic.

Saga (Comics)
The Stalk, The Brand (Saga), Fanart, Fanfiction
- Brand/Stalk. I’m not much for headcanons usually, but I am 100% certain these two banged. And then The Brand introduced her hookup to her brother. (I stand by this even if/when it gets jossed in the next issue.)
- Brand/Stalk noir AU. The Brand’s the world-worn detective; The Stalk is the leggy blond. Can’t you just see it?
- The Stalk/Gwendolyn, in the Will dies/Stalk lives AU. Yesss.
- Stalk/Will kinky spider-person/human porn. Go wild. I love me some xeno.
- The Sophies. Gimme ALL the fic about Sophie and Sophie having weird, awkwardly heartwarming moments. Or more, even. Maybe when the dust settles, it's Sophie, Sophie, and Lying Cat.
- The Stalk in amazing dresses. The Stalk in a steampunk AU.

Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Kalique Abrasax, Fanart, Fanfiction
I ship Kalique/Jupiter like burning and would be delighted with anything in that vein, from innocent to something incesty to something with a lot of ~moral compromise~ on Jupiter’s part. Any rating! Also would enjoy anything in which we see Kalique pwning her brothers or Kalique backstory of any kind.
- Fancy dresses. One of them “helps” the other out of one.
- POLITICS. A time or five when Kalique showed Jupiter the ropes. A time when Jupiter had to choose between a lot of bad choices and no good ones.
- Jupiter learning more in bed about Seraphi than she ever wanted to know. Kalique provoking Jupiter with little details about Seraphi, because she knows it bugs Jupiter.
- First time Jupiter/Kalique. What gets them there?
- Kalique growing up with a mother who was millenia old – what was that like?
- Kalique’s first time taking a regeneration bath.
- Kalique pwns her brothers. Yep.
