Hello friend, it is time for femslash 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://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
kimaracretak, where I have a small but reflective-of-things-I-like set of bookmarks, and kimaracretak on 8tracks if you want #aesthetic musical inspiration.
I love these canons for the 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. A lot of my prompts are very horror-slanted, I suppose because it's nearly Samhain and I'm in the mood already, but if your muse is inclined to things less murderous, feel free!
I love everything from short introspection bits to long plotty missionfic to sex scenes as ways to explore character/setting/worldbuilding, and 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.

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 or Anna is okay, but I am also super into 'character survives and nothing is better' AUs. Explicit Remain-won AUs not necessary as long as I can pretend Remain won and there's no Brexit.
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.
Villanelle/Anna: Messy obsessive mentor/student problems are MY THING and I'm obsessed with all of this - Anna's guilt, Oksana's growing estrangement from what should be as she falls deeper and deeper into what she wants. Pre-canon fic is great - first times, seduction attempts, inappropriate teasing and attempting to play house together, the aftermath of Oksana killing Max (re: my sex-involving-under-16s DNW, you can just not mention her age). Or AU post-s1 where Anna either survives or doesn't attempt suicide at all.
General: Gods, this show has so many beautiful things to say about love and loss and grief and I just want to dwell in it a while longer. I interpret Chrissie has having been in love with Stevie but not having recognised/admitted it even to herelf until after she'd died, and my prompts do stem from that interpretation, but if you want to do an AU where there's some element of requited-ness that's great. Permanent death for Stevie as per canon is fine here.
Fandom-specific DNW: Any m/f ships apart from background Marianne/Ira
Chrissie/Rosa: I'd love anything about them finding peace together post-series, especially Rosa helping Chrissie rediscover/reclaim her sexuality.
Chrissie/Stevie: John's grief over Stevie takes centre stage for most of the show, so if you go for mid- or post-canon, I would really like something that moves the focus over onto Chrissie and her grief here. Anything where Chrissie sees Stevie like John does, or pre-canon kisses that Chrissie pretends can't mean anything. Something about the pain of being in love with your best friend when you've forgotten how to be in love.
Rosa/Stevie: Canon leaves it ambiguous whether they ever met, so I'd love to see them meet pre-series - missed opportunities, things half-said. Sex that definitely means Something, but also definitely doesn't mean what they're both pretending it means.
General: I'm entirely up to date on canon, but any divergences you want are fine. I like selkie!Rhona AUs, fics that explore the challenges of Shetland life vs mainland life, and Scottish mythology. Explicit Remain-won AUs not necessary as long as I can pretend Remain won and there's no Brexit. Fic in Scottish Gaelic super welcome if you speak it.
Phyllis Brennan/Rhona Kelly: Honestly? I want anything. If you want to write about their reconciliation, absolutely go for it (and feel free to break my heart in the process), but if you want to write about their life before - getting together, travels around Scotland, negotiating Rhona's move, the first time Phyllis visited, meeting Phyllis' family - I would love that as well! Casefic would also be fun, whether that's adding them to book mysteries or coming up with something else.
General: I'm familiar with Norse myths/history of the era, so feel free to blend those with the canon events. I like witchy things and old gods and would prefer that if your story deals with religion/religious themes it sticks to Norse pagan themes rather than going in-depth into Christian ones. I love the show's landscapes and encourage you to take the sea/the fjords/the ships as slightly eldritch/sentient characters if you like.
Fandom-specific DNW: Requested characters converting to Christianity.
Lagertha/Siggy: They were so strong for and with each other, loyal in defiance of expectations, and they were so lovelyI'm a simple gremlin who is trash for queen-and-shieldmaiden tropes and gods could these two have delivered so perfectly if the show went slightly sideways, so I will eagerly read anything about Jarl Siggy and her beloved warrior. The two of them coming together in grief post-s1, of the possible consequences of one daughter surviving while the other doesn't. Lagertha trains Siggy to fight, or Siggy dresses Lagertha for an event. AU where Siggy rides with Lagertha at the beginning of s2. OT3ing them with Aslaug is 100% fine.
