tellitslant: eve from killing eve leaning against a wall (killing eve - eve - corner)
[personal profile] tellitslant
Dear writer! Hi! I am very excited that you are writing me one of these requests! Some I have requested before and received and want more of, some I have requested before and not received, some are new, and I am very excited about all of them. I hope some of what I say here gives you some ideas!

If you are not my assigned writer and are just here browsing letters, I am [archiveofourown.org profile] kathryne at AO3.

do not want

I do not want to read: rape; animal abuse or death; self-harm; kid!fic. I am okay with violence in service to the story; I am okay with canon-typical violence. I'm also not interested in complete AUs (ie, coffee-shop-type AUs). I do enjoy AUs where one thing in canon is changed and we explore the ramifications of it.

I’m not a big fan of the heteronormative assumption that there’s only one way to progress a relationship and anyone in a relationship must necessarily want co-habitation and homeownership and marriage and children. In fact, I’m really not interested in stories about child-rearing, though dealing with adult children already established in canon can be interesting.

do want

I love stories about women relying on each other. I like seeing moments in fic that give deeper meaning to moments we see on screen. I like porn; I like G-ratings; I like ratings in between. I really enjoy reading power dynamics in bed, and rough sex that's either an expression of love or of... something darker. I also love laughter and silliness and exploration and snuggles! For canons and characters who would be into it, sex toys, strap-ons, lingerie etc - yes. I strongly prefer more developed stories rather than shorter vignettes strung together on a theme.

I love complicated relationships between complicated women, where things aren't necessarily completely straightforward but that doesn't mean they're wrong.  I love power dynamics, and subverting them.

If you feel like going for some good old tropes, some of my favourites include: bedsharing; road trips; huddling for warmth; mutual pining that gets resolved.

Ted Lasso - Rebecca/Keeley

Yesssss follow through on Keeley's constant flirting and how badly she fancies Rebecca!  Note: I would really rather not have a story where Keeley is cheating on Roy, so perhaps an AU in that respect - picking up after the gala, or a different take on their weekend in Liverpool?  Rebecca slowly becoming able to believe in Keeley's affirmations because they are so different from Rupert's?  The way they both heal each other, much like in the show, only with smooching?  Or maybe a look at what else the two of them could do together, as a truly unstoppable team?

If you want to write something smutty, Keeley canonically has a vibrator and loves lingerie, and I bet she has a whole trunk of toys and clothes. She's so much less inhibited than Rebecca, and I'd love to see Rebecca learning to have fun sex again, or maybe for the first time.

Please don't make Rupert a main character in the story. I would also rather not have a story where Rebecca feels hopeless: I'd like to celebrate her and at least have the possibility of good things on the horizon.

Also, I love London, so if you know the city and want to sneak in some love for it in the story, that would be fantastic.

MCU: WandaVision - Agatha Harkness/Wanda Maximoff

I loved this show and how twisty and fucked up it was, and how well it dealt with the fact that Wanda's deepest desires could be truly terrible for her.  Her decision in the finale to trap Agatha forever within Agnes and leave her someplace where Wanda could either control her or use her embodies that tension. 

I'd love to read a post-canon story about the times when Wanda returns to check on Agnes, and, perhaps, lets Agatha out to play in a controlled environment in hopes of learning from her.  How do those power dynamics interact: Wanda's skill, Agatha's knowledge, both of them needing something from the other?

If you want to write an in-canon story, I'd particularly love to read something set in the 50s or 60s settings.  Maybe Agatha wonders if seduction is the best way to get close to Wanda and decides to... test that out?  Maybe Wanda finds herself drawn to Agnes for reasons that she doesn't entirely understand?

I absolutely do not want a fluffy story for these two, but would love to see what kind of bond forms between them despite themselves.

Wheel of Time - Moiraine Damodred/Liandrin Guirale, Moiraine Damodred/Alanna Mosvani, Liandrin Guirale/Alanna Mosvani

There's so much history between all three of these women! I would love to see a piece from that history or how that history informs what we seen on screen. Truly interested in any of these relationships.

I think Liandrin and Moiraine clearly had some sort of relationship in the past - what happened? Does Alanna just flirt with everyone and have she and Moiraine ever followed through? What were they like as Novices together? What have Alanna and Liandrin been up to on the road together, outside (some of) the Tower politics, and how did Liandrin try to consolidate power on the road?

I think the month between Logain's gentling and their arrival in Tar Valon is just begging for fic. How do the other Aes Sedai look at Liandrin for gentling Logain - do they see it as getting revenge for Kerene and is she a bit of a hero? Or has she gone against the Amyrlin and is everyone worried for her? How do Alanna and Moiraine cope on the road together, and with Liandrin? If you wanted to write Liandrin/Alanna as Liandrin and Alanna having a relationship that's actually mostly about an absent Moiraine, that would also be interesting - I think they orbit her in a fascinating way.

If you are writing a Moiraine relationship, I would prefer not to erase her relationship with Siuan, however you choose to handle that.

So, that's that! Thank you for writing for me. I can't wait to see what you make of whichever pairing you choose. :D
