i want to kill you when you least expect it [chocolatebox 2019]
Update 10 January: If you're writing Overwatch fic I read the Bastet story and loved it but you can feel free to include/disregard its events as you like!
Hello friend, it is time for Valentine's Day fic and my requests are entirely themed around women who can't decide whether they want to kill each other or fuck each other, and I am so excited to see what you will write for me! If you want inspiration beyond this letter I am also![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)

I've by and large chosen canons I love for their worldbuilding and mytharcs as well as their characters and relationships, and I am easy to please as long as you stay away from my DNWs (both general and canon-specific), so don't feel like you Have to write any of my specific prompts. Don't read anything into relative lengths of sections, I am equally happy to get something for anything in this letter! Some of these prompts are reused from old letters, and if you have written them for me before, rest assured that I loved your fic, I am simply greedy and would like to see every possible take on my favourite scenarios.
If you are writing shipfic, I like everything from pre-ship feelings navigation to PWP, so for / relationships don't worry about whether they're shippy 'enough'. I don't need a lot of romance in my ships, sex for power, manipulation, or just between friends who want to have fun is also great. Please no unrequested ships unless specifically allowed for, but feel free to combine any compatible ones from my requested ones.

I prefer to be a liar just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
— 'the obsessive devotion', epica
General: I love that Whitney and Angie and to some extent Peggy were set up as certain images of Idealised Americana while Dottie at times tended towards being her own Idealised Russia. I love the darkness and potential for noir tropes that were hinted at but never fully explored, especially when it comes to Los Angeles and New York as characters and the possibilities of - to borrow a lovely tag from my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
darkestnightex request - architectural horror inherent there (Weird zero matter voids! The bottom of the lake in Echo Park! That one metro station in New York that everyone knows is Wrong, Somehow (I know very little about NYC but every metro system has a station like that lbr). Very good for trapped and forced to work together to survive fics!. I love all of the weird awful things that could be done with zero matter. I love this show the most when it's about bodies and collisions and weird push-pulls of trust and these women's attempts at control. I'm not familiar with much of the wider Marvel universe and prefer you avoid it. IN SPACE AUs and dark fairy tale AUs welcome. OT3s and the OT4 with the requested characters are fine.
Dottie/Angie: I love the idea of Dottie capturing Angie and tormenting her to get to Peggy - either a serious 'where is she' sort of interrogation or a more casual 'aw, Peg, did you have a friend, I had no idea.' sort of thing. Corruption stories are always fabulous - I'd love Angie's slow fall into being Dottie's double/assistant/etc, or maybe Angie has a terrible secret of her own that Dottie wasn't expecting (serial killer!Angie? ghost!Angie?). Something post-canon would be great for them too - Dottie leaving creepy love notes for Angie on the set of her latest film/in her theatre dressing room?
Dottie/Peggy: Dottie in all her fractured perfection is one of the most compelling characters on the show for me. I like when she thinks murder is flirting, her obsession with Peggy, her innocently calculated cruelties. Missionfic and especially trapped-and-forced-to-work-together fic is great. Any sort of situation where Peggy ends up choosing Dottie over her SSR teammates. One accidentally kills the other but realises she can't function without her and brings her back (bonus for it being via zero-matter/with Whitney's help!) - or maybe repeated deaths/resurrections and the slow decay that must entail :3. Hatesex, bondage, prison hookups - all those excellent things! They're so profoundly aware of their similarities and conflicted about how they want to be each other and they're so obsessive and such ... functional disasters, and I love it all.
Dottie/Whitney: I love love love inhuman!Whitney, the slow transformation from so much zero matter exposure. Fics that take Whitney's job as an actress seriously, especially ones that examine Hollywood culture and Los Angeles as a character, are great - it's such a different sort of acting than Dottie's used to, how does she adapt - how does Whitney help her adapt? I can never read enough of one visiting the other in/breaking her out from jail, the heists and the cons and the disguises, the things they might get up to together when the world thinks them dead. Or canon divergence where Whitney succeeds, somehow, with Dottie's help. I'd love something that leans into the body horror of zero matter for them, especially since they're both so focussed on appearance (zero matter-fuelled sex with reassurances that the other is even more beautiful and powerful now!)
Whitney/Peggy: Look, I dunno why this ship specifically says 'vampire AU' to me even more than other Agent Carter ships but ... vampire AU. Vampire Whitney, vampire hunter (and maybe secret vampire) Peggy, and their conflicting quests to shape LA in their own image. I am also a huge fan of bad end AUs where Whitney wins in the desert and captures Peggy, and Peggy slowly adjusts to the new realities of the world. All the manipulative mindfucky sex, hate-bonding over how they both had to balance public and private personas, their duelling quests to be more. Going off the canon ending - Peggy breaks Whitney out of jail for Reasons, and they go on a mission together!
General: I quite liked Rook and am happy to see Isobel/Rook exist alongside the requested Isobel ships, but am equally happy with the requested ships happening instead of or after Isobel/Rook. I adore the worldbuilding madly and would love something that gets into all the Craft and glamour and politics of the world.
Fandom-specific DNW: Explicit sex for Isobel/Lark
Isobel/Hemlock:Huntmistress/quarry ships are a surefire way to my heart forever, and as much as I love what we got of them in the book I want more. More dreamsharing! More chases across the winter kingdom! More times that Isobel gets separated from Rook and figures out that Hemlock is wild and inhuman and awful but also looking out for her! More time for Hemlock to live ;__; I wanna know everything about the AU where she becomes Isobel's Huntmaster post-canon.
Isobel/Lark: I love AUs where Isobel does drink from the Green Well, and Lark is there every step of the way to help her shed her humanity. Anything about Craft and glamour and fancy dresses and manipulative shapeshifting.
General: Please refer to Lilith as Lilith (rather than Madam Satan) for fic from her POV/from the POV of people who know she's no longer Mary Wardwell. I like stories about Lilith slowly siphoning witches away from Satan, and stories where Sabrina (or Zelda, or the Weird Sisters) sign their name over to Lilith directly rather than into the Book of the Beast, and stories about centuries of history and the distinctly inhuman perceptions and desires of witches and demons. There's so many levels of glorious fucked-up obsessive mentorship here along with, you know, the gore and the cannibalism and the deification-via-cannibalism and I love all of them.
Lilith/Original Mary Wardwell: I'm just. Super charmed that the future queen of hell saw Mary Wardwell and was like 'yes, this one, the perfect person to kill and possess, but she makes really good tea and biscuits so I need to stay and chat first!' I'd love it if they had more time together — by the fireplace before Mary's murder, or maybe Lilith possesses her without murder so Mary is trapped inside her own head unable to resist being more and more into what Lilith is using her body for. Or maybe Mary was a witch and recognised Lilith (or something magical about her), just not in time to actually stop her death from happening - or! In time to make some creepy Faustian bargains with her!
Lilith/Zelda: Oh man this ship is such a glorious mess of feelings about embodiment and apotheosis and pride and praise and I am dead, and cordially invite you to be dead with me! Zelda's whole … wanting to fuck not even necessarily her gods but like the entire concept of divinity is so MUCH, and Lilith is absolutely amused by it. I love fics that get into how wildly other Lilith is as a demon queen, how her perceptions of desire and bodies would differ. Praise kink, competency kink - Zelda has a hard time admitting even to herself how desperate she is to prove herself, and I totally see Lilith granting or witholding praise just to see what she can make Zelda do, what she can make Zelda admit she wants. I have some preference for fics set after Zelda knows Lilith's true identity, but I also love stories about the reveal (less into 'hm I want to fuck my niece's hot teacher for some reason' stories).
Lilith/Sabrina: I am 100% convinced that Sabrina's crush on the original Mary Wardwell was a factor in her choice of person to possess, and I am 100% certain Lilith would exploit that. She wants Sabrina, and she wants Sabrina to be her, and Sabrina is? Mostly okay with that? I love it.
Lilith & The Weird Sisters: I am okay with any of these component relationships being shippy, too! Creepy mentorships, Academy dalliances, the darker side of an already dark witchcraft - I love it all.
General: I consider the campaign guide, artbook, and anything said on Talks Machina nebulously canon at best (and don't know much of what's said on Talks, because I can neither watch live nor afford Alpha) so feel free to conform to/depart from what they say as you wish. I'm familiar with most wider D&D lore/sourcebooks/mechanics from 3.5e onwards, including 5e's unearthed arcana, if you want inspiration for additional worldbuilding/plotting (though I know 4e best). I like fics that take into account mechanical D&D limitations (e.g. characters saying they need to rest before doing any more magic) but DNW characters using the actual real-world terms (e.g. characters saying they're 'out of spell slots'). I adore 4e's epic destinies and would love it if you incorporated relevant ones for the requested characters (special love for World Tree Guardian!Keyleth, Master of the Eternal Hunt!Vex, and Archspell!Delilah with Finger of Death, but, yknow, go wild!). Canonverse Vampire!Cassandra is a welcome AU for any of these ships.
Fandom-specific DNW: Scanlan, Percy, Percy/Vex, ace!Keyleth, campaign 2 characters/canon.
Keyleth/Anna Ripley: Oh man, all the canon-divergences! Keyleth and Ripley end up in the Shadowfell after the ziggurat fight and have to work together to survive. Keyleth succumbs to Whitestone's corruption instead of Percy (especially intriguing given her 'guys we're too violent' tendencies immediately before that). Keyleth takes Ripley off alone after Glintshore and forces her to continue Percy's legacy. I love dark Keyleth and slowly-turning darker Keyleth and slowly made darker Keyleth and I love disinterested scientist Ripley who's all the more horrifying because she's a disinterested scientist.
Keyleth/Raishan: I’m obsessed with these vicious near-immortal sorceresses. There’s the potential for anything, from hatesex to philosophical arguments, to the reluctant '.....shit we grew old together and you’re the only one left who knows everything about me' realisation. Polymorph/shapeshifting/wildshape sex is good. I like Keyleth domming Raishan if you're playing with D/s elements. There's so much to play with here with obsession and similarity and mirroring (either Keyleth or Raishan turning into each other during sex is um. The Best.) and honestly, feel free to go anywhere with this. I like Keyleth's anger and the amount of pleasure Raishan takes in winding her up. For this pairing, if you want to write a Raishan redemption arc, I would completely here for it. I love alternate meeting AUs, or AUs where Raishan chose to infiltrate the Air Ashari in addition to/instead of the Fire Ashari. Raishan-survives AUs are also excellent, whether she survives as herself or as a dracolich/demigod/etc. Raishan using murder to flirt with Keyleth. Raishan coming back from the dead cured of her disease but Wrong(tm) in some other way. Keyleth and Raishan take a trip to the Feywild for Reasons. Loyalty kink stemming from obsession - once every couple decades they try, genuinely, to kill each other, but somehow never quite manage to do it (because they have Feelings) (it takes them like 300 years to figure it out) (they're dumb I adore them).
Keyleth/Raishan/Allura Vysoren: Raishan was obsessed with Keyleth and Allura during the fight in Opash's lair - Allura was unconscious twice and a lot of Allura's support was directly to Keyleth - and I would die for the AU where she succeeds in capturing them and having them to help her with whatever ritual she was planning, especially if it involves Keyleth and Allura comfort!sex with voyeur!Raishan. I love alternate-meeting ideas: Allura falling in with Raishan while looking for ways to raise her friends who died fighting Thordak, Raishan picking Keyleth up early in her Aramente and Allura fighting to get her protege back. Keyleth being torn between two mentors, Raishan being obsessed with Allura's hoard of knowledge and Keyleth's life. In canonverse, Raishan in search of godhood with two of the most godless characters in the show as her means of ascension, nhh, I love. Apotheosis, accidental or not Don't soften Raishan unnecessarily (a lot of these scenarios have a lot of dubcon sex potential and I'm here for that) but also don't make her Cartoonishly Evil. Dark!Keyleth and Dark!Allura (and fics where either/both of them slowly turn darker over the course of the story) are great. I love Changeling: The Lost AUs always, and am super interested in the AU where Raishan was Keyleth's Keeper and Allura is trying to rescue her.
Keyleth/Delilah Briarwood: There's so many murdered lovers between them that you know it's fair they get the chance to be each other's lover and/or attempted murderer! I am lowkey in denial about Delilah's last death and would love for Keyleth to find another of her clones, anywhere from a year to several hundred years in the future, I am also forever weak for stories about them stranded in the Shadowfell for reasons and stories where Delilah succeeds in turning Vex into her undead servant and Keyleth becomes Delilah's lover to watch over her friend. Dark!Keyleth stories welcome, especially if she's the one who succumbs to the Whitestone corruption effect instead of Percy. Feel free to OT3 them with Cassandra, Vex, Raishan, or Ripley.
Delilah Briarwood/Cassandra de Rolo: Cassandra as daughter/sacrifice/future Lady is endlessly fascinating to me. How cruel did she grow under the Briarwoods? Did she even mind? I'd love to see Delilah slowly introducing Cassandra to magic, to Vecna, to death. I really love the idea that Delilah might have killed and resurrected Cassandra more than once during their years together, all the better to prepare her to be a sacrifice to an Undying King. Whitestone as a semi-sentient city torn between two masters. Alternate takes on the Grey Hunt, anything involving vampire!Cassandra, Cassandra learning to manipulate her manipulator, AU where Cassandra chooses the Briarwoods for real during the ziggurat battle, AU where Whitestone was never retaken, and Delilah and Cassandra rule together. Cass/Delilah sex (dubcon or consensual) is definitely okay as long as she's 16+ and Sylas isn't involved - I like the disconnect between Delilah seeing her as a daughter but Cass seeing her more as a mentor/queen, and can see powerplay and D/s dynamics going either way. Feel free to OT3 them with Vex, Raishan, or Ripley if that's where your muse goes.
Delilah Briarwood/Raishan/Anna Ripley: I firmly believe that Raishan was headed towards having a collection of witchy ladies in canon and I fully support giving her said collection in fic. Whether they're trying to raise Vecna or save Raishan (or both!) or something completely else, there's so many fascinating dimensions of trust and magic to work with here and I want to know everything about them. Ripley dealing with Raishan instead of Orthax. Queens-of-Whitestone Anna and Delilah making friends with the dragon who lives in the forest nearby.
General: Jordskott came for my whole entire heart with its witchy ladies and plant-based body horror and I gave it gladly and had it broken even more gladly. So: angst, body horror, lost loves etc, the fandom. I love really the entire rest of the cast except Tom, and welcome appearances from any of them. The Eva/Laila/Zara OT3, in V-form or triad, is also good!
Eva/Zara: I would love post-season-2 fic, where Eva and Zara are able to connect without an immediate threat of murder over their heads. Alternatively, Zara off into hiding again and Eva following, I adore their chase.
Laila/Zara: I live for AUs where Laila found Zara first, and how that changes the lives of … well, really all the immortals in Sweden. Moreaux adopting her is nice enough, but also? Witchy little girls who become best friends and grow up together and fall in love and are eventually torn apart by their differing attitudes towards the nonhumans? Better! Or, post-s2, I'd like to see Zara finding Laila and trying to help her.
General: I don't know what good I did to the universe to get this show in return but wow is this blood-soaked grimly funny chase across London and Russia and half of Europe the show of my dreams. I love how bright Villanelle is in everything she does, I love her twisted undeniable logic and her unstoppable yearning. I tend to think of some level of Villanelle/Eve as basically canon, and though I'm leaving it off my request list in favour of my rarer Villanelle pairs, I don't think it's entirely avoidable and I'm totally here for that sort of conflict between Villanelle's multiple desires pulling her towards conflicting (or perhaps ultimately nonconflicting?) goals. Canon-compliant deathfic for Nadia is okay.
Villanelle/Pamela: Gods, this show gave me so much identity porn tailored directly to my taste I feel almost ungrateful for sitting in the corner, going 'no, I want more of that other identity porn' but … I want more of the Villanelle/Pamela identity porn! All the bits we didn't get to see! All the games and the dressing up and the calling-her-Eve and - Pamela was so into those games? So deliciously corruptible? Maybe she follows Villanelle to London and starts killing to impress her.
Villanelle/Nadia: MURDEROUS EXES WHO ALSO WANT TO MURDER EACH OTHER, what a good trope. Nadia brings out the sweet side of Eve's poison in a weird way - their scenes together were the only times I started to question if VIllanelle ever did see a life for herself outside of the assassin gig. Because, lbr: she is far too invested in performing for Eve to give up killing for Eve, and, genuine desire for normal life or not, Nadia opens up a new possibility for desire that Villanelle is delighted by - and fucking hates. Like, she doesn't know what to do with a want that conflicts with her sense of self but she also doesn't know how to say no to desire, yknow? So of course she kills Nadia but of course she makes it sweet, and of course she asks how Nadia wants to go, and of course she indulges that. All of which is to say: fuck me up, dear author. Tell me about their meetings, their missions, their murder attempts, Nadia's final seconds of life. Or go AU, tell me about their captivity together in Arcadia and how Villanelle sold her out to the True Fae for a way through the Hedge and Nadia has found her own way back and is seeking REVENGE. Or make them vampires. I am never gonna say no to my faves being made vampires.
General: I know it's been five years since it ended but this is still the spy show of my heart and I love all these sad glamorous dubiously-moral assassins. Before Amanda's backstory reveal I spent some time headcanoning her as a Russian agent - feel free to run with that background if it speaks more to you than her canon one! I am fine with background Nikita/Owen, Nikita/Alex, Amanda/Alex, or Nikita/Ryan, but DNW Nikita/Michael.
Nikita/Amanda: POST-CANON FIC. I don't love season 4, but I've made my peace with most of it with the exception of ... we watched Nikita obsess over Amanda for four seasons and then we were meant to ... believe she locked Amanda in a cell and ignored her forever? I don't buy it, and I want to see all of their visits, all of the manipulation-into-goodness that Nikita is so horrifically amazing at, all of the bad-idea sex with the weight of all their history. Alternatively, all of Nikita's early days with Division, the dressing up and the missions and the undercover-as-a-couple and the whole idea of Amanda trying to teach Nikita how to human. They love each other so much! They're so determined to create and re-create each other and they're both so bad at pretending the other isn't succeeding. The whole bit in 2x18 with 'I broke your heart? You broke mine.' is like. One of my top 5 scenes in television ever. I love them. I love how much they hate each other and how bad they are at hating each other and I love how much they want. Feel free to OT3 them (V or triad) with Alex.
Carla/Amanda: Anything and everything about the early days of Division! The power struggles, the missions they keep (or try to keep) secret from each other, fighting over specific recruits, fighting over Nikita. Running into each other over the years, letters written over the years, sabotaging each other's missions, angsty please-come-join-me sex that neither will admit is either angsty or about getting the other woman to join them.
Amanda/Madeline: How much do I love the whole Senator-and-her-unruly-assassin thing they have going on I love it SO MUCH. I am always and forever down for AUs where Sean dies in that car bomb instead of Madeline. I love early days of Division fic, personal missions/tasks Madeline gives Amanda, and Madeline just. Showing up in Division after Amanda thinks she's dead to give orders directly and the epic power struggle that would kick off (Amanda successfully pretending to 99% of the agents that was absolutely her plan while plotting to kill Madeline :3)
General: I prefer things set post-Fall and love things set post-recall, especially for Ana. Missionfic is just as much of a delight as something more introspective. Exploration of how their powers/weapons could be used during or to facilitate sex is great (I love Moira's interest in picking people apart) and while angst and darkfic and dubcon are all encouraged, I'd rather you don't get too clinical/medical in descriptions of Moira's experiments. For Amélie ships, I have no preference if fic is set when she's Amélie or Widowmaker (or both! both is also good). I don't have specific prompts for the Ana/Amélie/Moira OT3 but if you want to include it (as either a triad or a V-ship) feel free!
Ana Amari/Widowmaker | Amélie Lacroix: This ship is the whole entire reason I play Overwatch, ngl. Not quite colleague-friend-lovers who can't quite kill each other, the best of the best who keep chasing after each other because there shouldn't be two of them but there are and an undeniable part of them loves it. Women who draw lines between killing and leaving to die but can't quite examine the difference because that comes to close to their feelings. The problem of 'I should kill you but I can't hurt you because you have already hurt too much because of me'. I have a slight preference for post-Fall fics - the angst, the guilt, the Shrike, the chase, the meeting across new post-Recall battlefields - but I will love anything you write for them!
Ana Amari/Moira O'Deorain: Ana's sleep darts get put to creative sex-based use. Ana tries to recruit Moira back to Overwatch. Sometime post-fall but pre-recall they have 'anonymous' sex but only one knows the other's true identity. Battle adrenaline leading to sex (whether they're on the same/opposite sides). Ana's guilt over their secret relationship juxtaposed with Moira's total lack of care. Someone (preferably Amélie but I'm not picky as long as it's another female character) catches them. Moira comes back to Overwatch (or Ana somehow ends up with Talon) and they pledge their allegiance not to the organisation but to the other woman specifically. The Moira standing next to me in a spawn room once replied to Ana's idle 'if we stick together we will achieve the objective' with 'well THAT's an interesting hypothesis' and I .... would love to see something built around that exchange.
General: This show has a thesis of 'why be a girl when you could be an eldritch horror instead' because it loves me, it really loves me. I love the bonds and the backstabbing and the love-through-horror, I love the changeling girls and the amount of respect it gives stories of self-creation. Changeling: The Lost, vampire, and Sith Academy AUs gleefully accepted here, and any of the prompts in the PaHR section of my darkest night letter can be used here as well. Canon-compliant deathfic for Hester is okay, ambiguous/show-consistent explanations for what happened at the Rock for Marion, Miranda, and Greta are also okay.
Hester/Dianne: The hatesex, oh my gods. But also, Dianne owes so much to Hester and never quite manages to hate her, stands between Hester and the girls because she knows how easy it is to be cruel. There's an odd undercurrent of 'why aren't you better' that they both have towards each other (and themselves) and I'd love a story that lives int the lovely-awful tangled knots they tie each other into, and the ways in which they can't quite bring themselves to wish they were more like the other. I'd love to see an AU where Dianne accompanies Hester to the Rock, ghost!Hester haunting Dianne in her new position, or the AU where Hester and Dianne moved and built a new school out of the ruins of the first Academy.
Hester/Irma: Ohhh man. The interrogations, the concerns for propriety, the way Irma's refusal to speak sometimes counts as a mark of devotion. Their different approaches to doing what Must be done, a special sort of ruthless displacement. I love epistolary elements always, but especially for them, and especially the angst of Irma writing to Hester after she's died. They're both so prickly and so proud and so concerned with appearances while being very aware of things others cannot see, and I'd love something that digs into that sort of performance/pretending-you're-fine.
Hester/Miranda: Miranda is such a weird eldritch forest of a girl and I love how she spends the whole series deconstructing Hester so deftly no one's quite sure what she's done til the very end. Maybe Hester sees Miranda at the Rock, maybe Miranda taunts her about Sara, maybe one of Hester's attempts to dress her up nicely backfires somehow. An extension of the punishment scene (possibly including Hester bandaging her hands afterwards instead of Irma and Marion, and the glorious emotional whiplash that could provoke >:))
General: I love the lush expansiveness of Tolkien's work, the history and the care and the sheer amount of space characters are allowed to take up and that we are able to fill in. My favourite bits are the horror and the weird fey things, but moments of levity and happy couples dealing with supernatural things (happy couples murdering other things :D) are also excellent! I am indifferent to Beren and Manwë, dislike Eol, and have no infidelity-related squicks, so handle the canon marriages however you like.
Luthien/Thuringwethil: Someone tagged a Luthien/Thuringwethil fic 'world's worst selkie' a while ago and you know what? I agree, and I'd love something that delves into that, whether it's selkie-style vampires or a full-on Arda-set selkie!AU. And, on the topic of Thuringwethil's skin, I am super into the idea that Thuringwethil lived on somehow in her skin and slowly possessed Luthien more and more. Beyond that, any sort of mind games, situations where Thuringwethil turns Luthien. The two of them chasing each other through all the ages of Arda killing each other closer and closer to death each time! Epistolary fic! Gore and bloody sex!
Thuringwethil/Aredhel: I amn't sure it's possible for me to be disappointed with anything for them, tbh. Eldritch marrieds running a crossroads inn and eating patrons who stay too long? Thuringwethil finding out the hard way that she's not the most dangerous thing in the woods? Aredhel barters with Thuringwethil for safe passage for her or her people and gets in over her head. Aredhel is tired of her life with Eol and asks to be turned into a vampire (the two of them working together to kill him in turn optional).
Varda/Ungoliant: Contrasting goddesses who hate but cannot exist without each other fucking each other up at the beginning of creation, I love. Ungoliant spends so much time aching to devour light that it is not really a far jump to imagine her trying to devour Varda, and yes that is a vore prompt. But I'm also interested in the sort of tales that would arise about them, the told and re-told myths and legends and how they change over time.
Hello friend, it is time for Valentine's Day fic and my requests are entirely themed around women who can't decide whether they want to kill each other or fuck each other, and I am so excited to see what you will write for me! If you want inspiration beyond this letter I am also
I've by and large chosen canons I love for their worldbuilding and mytharcs as well as their characters and relationships, and I am easy to please as long as you stay away from my DNWs (both general and canon-specific), so don't feel like you Have to write any of my specific prompts. Don't read anything into relative lengths of sections, I am equally happy to get something for anything in this letter! Some of these prompts are reused from old letters, and if you have written them for me before, rest assured that I loved your fic, I am simply greedy and would like to see every possible take on my favourite scenarios.
If you are writing shipfic, I like everything from pre-ship feelings navigation to PWP, so for / relationships don't worry about whether they're shippy 'enough'. I don't need a lot of romance in my ships, sex for power, manipulation, or just between friends who want to have fun is also great. Please no unrequested ships unless specifically allowed for, but feel free to combine any compatible ones from my requested ones.

To fulfill my deepest desires
— 'the obsessive devotion', epica
Agent Carter
General: I love that Whitney and Angie and to some extent Peggy were set up as certain images of Idealised Americana while Dottie at times tended towards being her own Idealised Russia. I love the darkness and potential for noir tropes that were hinted at but never fully explored, especially when it comes to Los Angeles and New York as characters and the possibilities of - to borrow a lovely tag from my
darkestnightex request - architectural horror inherent there (Weird zero matter voids! The bottom of the lake in Echo Park! That one metro station in New York that everyone knows is Wrong, Somehow (I know very little about NYC but every metro system has a station like that lbr). Very good for trapped and forced to work together to survive fics!. I love all of the weird awful things that could be done with zero matter. I love this show the most when it's about bodies and collisions and weird push-pulls of trust and these women's attempts at control. I'm not familiar with much of the wider Marvel universe and prefer you avoid it. IN SPACE AUs and dark fairy tale AUs welcome. OT3s and the OT4 with the requested characters are fine. Dottie/Angie: I love the idea of Dottie capturing Angie and tormenting her to get to Peggy - either a serious 'where is she' sort of interrogation or a more casual 'aw, Peg, did you have a friend, I had no idea.' sort of thing. Corruption stories are always fabulous - I'd love Angie's slow fall into being Dottie's double/assistant/etc, or maybe Angie has a terrible secret of her own that Dottie wasn't expecting (serial killer!Angie? ghost!Angie?). Something post-canon would be great for them too - Dottie leaving creepy love notes for Angie on the set of her latest film/in her theatre dressing room?
Dottie/Peggy: Dottie in all her fractured perfection is one of the most compelling characters on the show for me. I like when she thinks murder is flirting, her obsession with Peggy, her innocently calculated cruelties. Missionfic and especially trapped-and-forced-to-work-together fic is great. Any sort of situation where Peggy ends up choosing Dottie over her SSR teammates. One accidentally kills the other but realises she can't function without her and brings her back (bonus for it being via zero-matter/with Whitney's help!) - or maybe repeated deaths/resurrections and the slow decay that must entail :3. Hatesex, bondage, prison hookups - all those excellent things! They're so profoundly aware of their similarities and conflicted about how they want to be each other and they're so obsessive and such ... functional disasters, and I love it all.
Dottie/Whitney: I love love love inhuman!Whitney, the slow transformation from so much zero matter exposure. Fics that take Whitney's job as an actress seriously, especially ones that examine Hollywood culture and Los Angeles as a character, are great - it's such a different sort of acting than Dottie's used to, how does she adapt - how does Whitney help her adapt? I can never read enough of one visiting the other in/breaking her out from jail, the heists and the cons and the disguises, the things they might get up to together when the world thinks them dead. Or canon divergence where Whitney succeeds, somehow, with Dottie's help. I'd love something that leans into the body horror of zero matter for them, especially since they're both so focussed on appearance (zero matter-fuelled sex with reassurances that the other is even more beautiful and powerful now!)
Whitney/Peggy: Look, I dunno why this ship specifically says 'vampire AU' to me even more than other Agent Carter ships but ... vampire AU. Vampire Whitney, vampire hunter (and maybe secret vampire) Peggy, and their conflicting quests to shape LA in their own image. I am also a huge fan of bad end AUs where Whitney wins in the desert and captures Peggy, and Peggy slowly adjusts to the new realities of the world. All the manipulative mindfucky sex, hate-bonding over how they both had to balance public and private personas, their duelling quests to be more. Going off the canon ending - Peggy breaks Whitney out of jail for Reasons, and they go on a mission together!
An Enchantment of Ravens
General: I quite liked Rook and am happy to see Isobel/Rook exist alongside the requested Isobel ships, but am equally happy with the requested ships happening instead of or after Isobel/Rook. I adore the worldbuilding madly and would love something that gets into all the Craft and glamour and politics of the world.
Fandom-specific DNW: Explicit sex for Isobel/Lark
Isobel/Hemlock:Huntmistress/quarry ships are a surefire way to my heart forever, and as much as I love what we got of them in the book I want more. More dreamsharing! More chases across the winter kingdom! More times that Isobel gets separated from Rook and figures out that Hemlock is wild and inhuman and awful but also looking out for her! More time for Hemlock to live ;__; I wanna know everything about the AU where she becomes Isobel's Huntmaster post-canon.
Isobel/Lark: I love AUs where Isobel does drink from the Green Well, and Lark is there every step of the way to help her shed her humanity. Anything about Craft and glamour and fancy dresses and manipulative shapeshifting.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
General: Please refer to Lilith as Lilith (rather than Madam Satan) for fic from her POV/from the POV of people who know she's no longer Mary Wardwell. I like stories about Lilith slowly siphoning witches away from Satan, and stories where Sabrina (or Zelda, or the Weird Sisters) sign their name over to Lilith directly rather than into the Book of the Beast, and stories about centuries of history and the distinctly inhuman perceptions and desires of witches and demons. There's so many levels of glorious fucked-up obsessive mentorship here along with, you know, the gore and the cannibalism and the deification-via-cannibalism and I love all of them.
Lilith/Original Mary Wardwell: I'm just. Super charmed that the future queen of hell saw Mary Wardwell and was like 'yes, this one, the perfect person to kill and possess, but she makes really good tea and biscuits so I need to stay and chat first!' I'd love it if they had more time together — by the fireplace before Mary's murder, or maybe Lilith possesses her without murder so Mary is trapped inside her own head unable to resist being more and more into what Lilith is using her body for. Or maybe Mary was a witch and recognised Lilith (or something magical about her), just not in time to actually stop her death from happening - or! In time to make some creepy Faustian bargains with her!
Lilith/Zelda: Oh man this ship is such a glorious mess of feelings about embodiment and apotheosis and pride and praise and I am dead, and cordially invite you to be dead with me! Zelda's whole … wanting to fuck not even necessarily her gods but like the entire concept of divinity is so MUCH, and Lilith is absolutely amused by it. I love fics that get into how wildly other Lilith is as a demon queen, how her perceptions of desire and bodies would differ. Praise kink, competency kink - Zelda has a hard time admitting even to herself how desperate she is to prove herself, and I totally see Lilith granting or witholding praise just to see what she can make Zelda do, what she can make Zelda admit she wants. I have some preference for fics set after Zelda knows Lilith's true identity, but I also love stories about the reveal (less into 'hm I want to fuck my niece's hot teacher for some reason' stories).
Lilith/Sabrina: I am 100% convinced that Sabrina's crush on the original Mary Wardwell was a factor in her choice of person to possess, and I am 100% certain Lilith would exploit that. She wants Sabrina, and she wants Sabrina to be her, and Sabrina is? Mostly okay with that? I love it.
Lilith & The Weird Sisters: I am okay with any of these component relationships being shippy, too! Creepy mentorships, Academy dalliances, the darker side of an already dark witchcraft - I love it all.
Critical Role
General: I consider the campaign guide, artbook, and anything said on Talks Machina nebulously canon at best (and don't know much of what's said on Talks, because I can neither watch live nor afford Alpha) so feel free to conform to/depart from what they say as you wish. I'm familiar with most wider D&D lore/sourcebooks/mechanics from 3.5e onwards, including 5e's unearthed arcana, if you want inspiration for additional worldbuilding/plotting (though I know 4e best). I like fics that take into account mechanical D&D limitations (e.g. characters saying they need to rest before doing any more magic) but DNW characters using the actual real-world terms (e.g. characters saying they're 'out of spell slots'). I adore 4e's epic destinies and would love it if you incorporated relevant ones for the requested characters (special love for World Tree Guardian!Keyleth, Master of the Eternal Hunt!Vex, and Archspell!Delilah with Finger of Death, but, yknow, go wild!). Canonverse Vampire!Cassandra is a welcome AU for any of these ships.
Fandom-specific DNW: Scanlan, Percy, Percy/Vex, ace!Keyleth, campaign 2 characters/canon.
Keyleth/Anna Ripley: Oh man, all the canon-divergences! Keyleth and Ripley end up in the Shadowfell after the ziggurat fight and have to work together to survive. Keyleth succumbs to Whitestone's corruption instead of Percy (especially intriguing given her 'guys we're too violent' tendencies immediately before that). Keyleth takes Ripley off alone after Glintshore and forces her to continue Percy's legacy. I love dark Keyleth and slowly-turning darker Keyleth and slowly made darker Keyleth and I love disinterested scientist Ripley who's all the more horrifying because she's a disinterested scientist.
Keyleth/Raishan: I’m obsessed with these vicious near-immortal sorceresses. There’s the potential for anything, from hatesex to philosophical arguments, to the reluctant '.....shit we grew old together and you’re the only one left who knows everything about me' realisation. Polymorph/shapeshifting/wildshape sex is good. I like Keyleth domming Raishan if you're playing with D/s elements. There's so much to play with here with obsession and similarity and mirroring (either Keyleth or Raishan turning into each other during sex is um. The Best.) and honestly, feel free to go anywhere with this. I like Keyleth's anger and the amount of pleasure Raishan takes in winding her up. For this pairing, if you want to write a Raishan redemption arc, I would completely here for it. I love alternate meeting AUs, or AUs where Raishan chose to infiltrate the Air Ashari in addition to/instead of the Fire Ashari. Raishan-survives AUs are also excellent, whether she survives as herself or as a dracolich/demigod/etc. Raishan using murder to flirt with Keyleth. Raishan coming back from the dead cured of her disease but Wrong(tm) in some other way. Keyleth and Raishan take a trip to the Feywild for Reasons. Loyalty kink stemming from obsession - once every couple decades they try, genuinely, to kill each other, but somehow never quite manage to do it (because they have Feelings) (it takes them like 300 years to figure it out) (they're dumb I adore them).
Keyleth/Raishan/Allura Vysoren: Raishan was obsessed with Keyleth and Allura during the fight in Opash's lair - Allura was unconscious twice and a lot of Allura's support was directly to Keyleth - and I would die for the AU where she succeeds in capturing them and having them to help her with whatever ritual she was planning, especially if it involves Keyleth and Allura comfort!sex with voyeur!Raishan. I love alternate-meeting ideas: Allura falling in with Raishan while looking for ways to raise her friends who died fighting Thordak, Raishan picking Keyleth up early in her Aramente and Allura fighting to get her protege back. Keyleth being torn between two mentors, Raishan being obsessed with Allura's hoard of knowledge and Keyleth's life. In canonverse, Raishan in search of godhood with two of the most godless characters in the show as her means of ascension, nhh, I love. Apotheosis, accidental or not Don't soften Raishan unnecessarily (a lot of these scenarios have a lot of dubcon sex potential and I'm here for that) but also don't make her Cartoonishly Evil. Dark!Keyleth and Dark!Allura (and fics where either/both of them slowly turn darker over the course of the story) are great. I love Changeling: The Lost AUs always, and am super interested in the AU where Raishan was Keyleth's Keeper and Allura is trying to rescue her.
Keyleth/Delilah Briarwood: There's so many murdered lovers between them that you know it's fair they get the chance to be each other's lover and/or attempted murderer! I am lowkey in denial about Delilah's last death and would love for Keyleth to find another of her clones, anywhere from a year to several hundred years in the future, I am also forever weak for stories about them stranded in the Shadowfell for reasons and stories where Delilah succeeds in turning Vex into her undead servant and Keyleth becomes Delilah's lover to watch over her friend. Dark!Keyleth stories welcome, especially if she's the one who succumbs to the Whitestone corruption effect instead of Percy. Feel free to OT3 them with Cassandra, Vex, Raishan, or Ripley.
Delilah Briarwood/Cassandra de Rolo: Cassandra as daughter/sacrifice/future Lady is endlessly fascinating to me. How cruel did she grow under the Briarwoods? Did she even mind? I'd love to see Delilah slowly introducing Cassandra to magic, to Vecna, to death. I really love the idea that Delilah might have killed and resurrected Cassandra more than once during their years together, all the better to prepare her to be a sacrifice to an Undying King. Whitestone as a semi-sentient city torn between two masters. Alternate takes on the Grey Hunt, anything involving vampire!Cassandra, Cassandra learning to manipulate her manipulator, AU where Cassandra chooses the Briarwoods for real during the ziggurat battle, AU where Whitestone was never retaken, and Delilah and Cassandra rule together. Cass/Delilah sex (dubcon or consensual) is definitely okay as long as she's 16+ and Sylas isn't involved - I like the disconnect between Delilah seeing her as a daughter but Cass seeing her more as a mentor/queen, and can see powerplay and D/s dynamics going either way. Feel free to OT3 them with Vex, Raishan, or Ripley if that's where your muse goes.
Delilah Briarwood/Raishan/Anna Ripley: I firmly believe that Raishan was headed towards having a collection of witchy ladies in canon and I fully support giving her said collection in fic. Whether they're trying to raise Vecna or save Raishan (or both!) or something completely else, there's so many fascinating dimensions of trust and magic to work with here and I want to know everything about them. Ripley dealing with Raishan instead of Orthax. Queens-of-Whitestone Anna and Delilah making friends with the dragon who lives in the forest nearby.
Jordskott
General: Jordskott came for my whole entire heart with its witchy ladies and plant-based body horror and I gave it gladly and had it broken even more gladly. So: angst, body horror, lost loves etc, the fandom. I love really the entire rest of the cast except Tom, and welcome appearances from any of them. The Eva/Laila/Zara OT3, in V-form or triad, is also good!
Eva/Zara: I would love post-season-2 fic, where Eva and Zara are able to connect without an immediate threat of murder over their heads. Alternatively, Zara off into hiding again and Eva following, I adore their chase.
Laila/Zara: I live for AUs where Laila found Zara first, and how that changes the lives of … well, really all the immortals in Sweden. Moreaux adopting her is nice enough, but also? Witchy little girls who become best friends and grow up together and fall in love and are eventually torn apart by their differing attitudes towards the nonhumans? Better! Or, post-s2, I'd like to see Zara finding Laila and trying to help her.
Killing Eve
General: I don't know what good I did to the universe to get this show in return but wow is this blood-soaked grimly funny chase across London and Russia and half of Europe the show of my dreams. I love how bright Villanelle is in everything she does, I love her twisted undeniable logic and her unstoppable yearning. I tend to think of some level of Villanelle/Eve as basically canon, and though I'm leaving it off my request list in favour of my rarer Villanelle pairs, I don't think it's entirely avoidable and I'm totally here for that sort of conflict between Villanelle's multiple desires pulling her towards conflicting (or perhaps ultimately nonconflicting?) goals. Canon-compliant deathfic for Nadia is okay.
Villanelle/Pamela: Gods, this show gave me so much identity porn tailored directly to my taste I feel almost ungrateful for sitting in the corner, going 'no, I want more of that other identity porn' but … I want more of the Villanelle/Pamela identity porn! All the bits we didn't get to see! All the games and the dressing up and the calling-her-Eve and - Pamela was so into those games? So deliciously corruptible? Maybe she follows Villanelle to London and starts killing to impress her.
Villanelle/Nadia: MURDEROUS EXES WHO ALSO WANT TO MURDER EACH OTHER, what a good trope. Nadia brings out the sweet side of Eve's poison in a weird way - their scenes together were the only times I started to question if VIllanelle ever did see a life for herself outside of the assassin gig. Because, lbr: she is far too invested in performing for Eve to give up killing for Eve, and, genuine desire for normal life or not, Nadia opens up a new possibility for desire that Villanelle is delighted by - and fucking hates. Like, she doesn't know what to do with a want that conflicts with her sense of self but she also doesn't know how to say no to desire, yknow? So of course she kills Nadia but of course she makes it sweet, and of course she asks how Nadia wants to go, and of course she indulges that. All of which is to say: fuck me up, dear author. Tell me about their meetings, their missions, their murder attempts, Nadia's final seconds of life. Or go AU, tell me about their captivity together in Arcadia and how Villanelle sold her out to the True Fae for a way through the Hedge and Nadia has found her own way back and is seeking REVENGE. Or make them vampires. I am never gonna say no to my faves being made vampires.
Nikita
General: I know it's been five years since it ended but this is still the spy show of my heart and I love all these sad glamorous dubiously-moral assassins. Before Amanda's backstory reveal I spent some time headcanoning her as a Russian agent - feel free to run with that background if it speaks more to you than her canon one! I am fine with background Nikita/Owen, Nikita/Alex, Amanda/Alex, or Nikita/Ryan, but DNW Nikita/Michael.
Nikita/Amanda: POST-CANON FIC. I don't love season 4, but I've made my peace with most of it with the exception of ... we watched Nikita obsess over Amanda for four seasons and then we were meant to ... believe she locked Amanda in a cell and ignored her forever? I don't buy it, and I want to see all of their visits, all of the manipulation-into-goodness that Nikita is so horrifically amazing at, all of the bad-idea sex with the weight of all their history. Alternatively, all of Nikita's early days with Division, the dressing up and the missions and the undercover-as-a-couple and the whole idea of Amanda trying to teach Nikita how to human. They love each other so much! They're so determined to create and re-create each other and they're both so bad at pretending the other isn't succeeding. The whole bit in 2x18 with 'I broke your heart? You broke mine.' is like. One of my top 5 scenes in television ever. I love them. I love how much they hate each other and how bad they are at hating each other and I love how much they want. Feel free to OT3 them (V or triad) with Alex.
Carla/Amanda: Anything and everything about the early days of Division! The power struggles, the missions they keep (or try to keep) secret from each other, fighting over specific recruits, fighting over Nikita. Running into each other over the years, letters written over the years, sabotaging each other's missions, angsty please-come-join-me sex that neither will admit is either angsty or about getting the other woman to join them.
Amanda/Madeline: How much do I love the whole Senator-and-her-unruly-assassin thing they have going on I love it SO MUCH. I am always and forever down for AUs where Sean dies in that car bomb instead of Madeline. I love early days of Division fic, personal missions/tasks Madeline gives Amanda, and Madeline just. Showing up in Division after Amanda thinks she's dead to give orders directly and the epic power struggle that would kick off (Amanda successfully pretending to 99% of the agents that was absolutely her plan while plotting to kill Madeline :3)
Overwatch
General: I prefer things set post-Fall and love things set post-recall, especially for Ana. Missionfic is just as much of a delight as something more introspective. Exploration of how their powers/weapons could be used during or to facilitate sex is great (I love Moira's interest in picking people apart) and while angst and darkfic and dubcon are all encouraged, I'd rather you don't get too clinical/medical in descriptions of Moira's experiments. For Amélie ships, I have no preference if fic is set when she's Amélie or Widowmaker (or both! both is also good). I don't have specific prompts for the Ana/Amélie/Moira OT3 but if you want to include it (as either a triad or a V-ship) feel free!
Ana Amari/Widowmaker | Amélie Lacroix: This ship is the whole entire reason I play Overwatch, ngl. Not quite colleague-friend-lovers who can't quite kill each other, the best of the best who keep chasing after each other because there shouldn't be two of them but there are and an undeniable part of them loves it. Women who draw lines between killing and leaving to die but can't quite examine the difference because that comes to close to their feelings. The problem of 'I should kill you but I can't hurt you because you have already hurt too much because of me'. I have a slight preference for post-Fall fics - the angst, the guilt, the Shrike, the chase, the meeting across new post-Recall battlefields - but I will love anything you write for them!
Ana Amari/Moira O'Deorain: Ana's sleep darts get put to creative sex-based use. Ana tries to recruit Moira back to Overwatch. Sometime post-fall but pre-recall they have 'anonymous' sex but only one knows the other's true identity. Battle adrenaline leading to sex (whether they're on the same/opposite sides). Ana's guilt over their secret relationship juxtaposed with Moira's total lack of care. Someone (preferably Amélie but I'm not picky as long as it's another female character) catches them. Moira comes back to Overwatch (or Ana somehow ends up with Talon) and they pledge their allegiance not to the organisation but to the other woman specifically. The Moira standing next to me in a spawn room once replied to Ana's idle 'if we stick together we will achieve the objective' with 'well THAT's an interesting hypothesis' and I .... would love to see something built around that exchange.
Picnic at Hanging Rock (TV 2018)
General: This show has a thesis of 'why be a girl when you could be an eldritch horror instead' because it loves me, it really loves me. I love the bonds and the backstabbing and the love-through-horror, I love the changeling girls and the amount of respect it gives stories of self-creation. Changeling: The Lost, vampire, and Sith Academy AUs gleefully accepted here, and any of the prompts in the PaHR section of my darkest night letter can be used here as well. Canon-compliant deathfic for Hester is okay, ambiguous/show-consistent explanations for what happened at the Rock for Marion, Miranda, and Greta are also okay.
Hester/Dianne: The hatesex, oh my gods. But also, Dianne owes so much to Hester and never quite manages to hate her, stands between Hester and the girls because she knows how easy it is to be cruel. There's an odd undercurrent of 'why aren't you better' that they both have towards each other (and themselves) and I'd love a story that lives int the lovely-awful tangled knots they tie each other into, and the ways in which they can't quite bring themselves to wish they were more like the other. I'd love to see an AU where Dianne accompanies Hester to the Rock, ghost!Hester haunting Dianne in her new position, or the AU where Hester and Dianne moved and built a new school out of the ruins of the first Academy.
Hester/Irma: Ohhh man. The interrogations, the concerns for propriety, the way Irma's refusal to speak sometimes counts as a mark of devotion. Their different approaches to doing what Must be done, a special sort of ruthless displacement. I love epistolary elements always, but especially for them, and especially the angst of Irma writing to Hester after she's died. They're both so prickly and so proud and so concerned with appearances while being very aware of things others cannot see, and I'd love something that digs into that sort of performance/pretending-you're-fine.
Hester/Miranda: Miranda is such a weird eldritch forest of a girl and I love how she spends the whole series deconstructing Hester so deftly no one's quite sure what she's done til the very end. Maybe Hester sees Miranda at the Rock, maybe Miranda taunts her about Sara, maybe one of Hester's attempts to dress her up nicely backfires somehow. An extension of the punishment scene (possibly including Hester bandaging her hands afterwards instead of Irma and Marion, and the glorious emotional whiplash that could provoke >:))
The Silmarillion & Other Histories of Middle-Earth
General: I love the lush expansiveness of Tolkien's work, the history and the care and the sheer amount of space characters are allowed to take up and that we are able to fill in. My favourite bits are the horror and the weird fey things, but moments of levity and happy couples dealing with supernatural things (happy couples murdering other things :D) are also excellent! I am indifferent to Beren and Manwë, dislike Eol, and have no infidelity-related squicks, so handle the canon marriages however you like.
Luthien/Thuringwethil: Someone tagged a Luthien/Thuringwethil fic 'world's worst selkie' a while ago and you know what? I agree, and I'd love something that delves into that, whether it's selkie-style vampires or a full-on Arda-set selkie!AU. And, on the topic of Thuringwethil's skin, I am super into the idea that Thuringwethil lived on somehow in her skin and slowly possessed Luthien more and more. Beyond that, any sort of mind games, situations where Thuringwethil turns Luthien. The two of them chasing each other through all the ages of Arda killing each other closer and closer to death each time! Epistolary fic! Gore and bloody sex!
Thuringwethil/Aredhel: I amn't sure it's possible for me to be disappointed with anything for them, tbh. Eldritch marrieds running a crossroads inn and eating patrons who stay too long? Thuringwethil finding out the hard way that she's not the most dangerous thing in the woods? Aredhel barters with Thuringwethil for safe passage for her or her people and gets in over her head. Aredhel is tired of her life with Eol and asks to be turned into a vampire (the two of them working together to kill him in turn optional).
Varda/Ungoliant: Contrasting goddesses who hate but cannot exist without each other fucking each other up at the beginning of creation, I love. Ungoliant spends so much time aching to devour light that it is not really a far jump to imagine her trying to devour Varda, and yes that is a vore prompt. But I'm also interested in the sort of tales that would arise about them, the told and re-told myths and legends and how they change over time.

And clearly I REALLY need to get to Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Loooool Sabrina inviting the original Ms Wardwell along for coffee three minutes in episode 1 sure was a laser-targeted callout for baby me. I probably was not supposed to find her So Relateable because of that but here we are!
Um yes please come die about Picnic at Hanging Rock with me.

SO FUNNY STORY, earlier this evening I tripped over this three times in an hour, in at least two distinct post formats, and I'm feeling weirdly called out/upon in the Zelda/Lilith department right now. If I only had an actual idea. And/or any self-confidence lately.
(DREAM SEQUENCE PORN my brain immediately suggests, and I see how it got there, but I don't know if that's an idea or just my default setting.)
And... I always get the weird feeling this crowd knows who their audience is; the look on Sabrina's FACE when all that saunters up to her post-evil-makeover, I don't even. But oh, kiddo.
I really don't understand HOW I haven't seen it already, I just... am never good at sitting down to things when I know they're going to eat my head.
