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 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, 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. Though I've loads of specific dark- & smut-focussed likes, don't feel obliged to pull from those lists. That being said, I'm extremely not into plotless/conflictless fluff, and would prefer you avoid it.

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.

General: Alphabetical order declares my letter start off with a book I honestly don't expect most people to've read! The Basic Eight is the heavily-annotated diary of Flannery Culp, a normal high school senior who is mostly preoccupied with things like English class and hosting dinner parties with her seven best friends and trying to figure out why boys are such assholes - and why it's totally unfair that everyone is calling her a murderer just because she did a little bit of murder. It's sparkling and funny and vivid and had one of my favourite unreliable narrators of all time, and just self-aware enough of its pretentiousness not to be annoying. Ship prompts contain spoilers.

General:

Note: Apocalypse DNW obviously waived for this fandom, but I prefer no in-story mass death/things getting Distinctly Worse


General: I want to say something intelligent about this show but I'm extremely 'no thought head Birgitte and Hanne and Katrine' about it, so feel free to combine these ships as well - I'd be delighted by, say, Birgitte/Katrine & Hanne. I generally prefer fic set closer to 2013 than present-day in post-canon fic, and DNW the contemporary European political landscapes in futurefic — I'd like a Denmark that was kept more thoughtfully & compassionately to the left because of Birgitte's politics, a UK that didn't leave the EU, that sort of thing (this does not apply to American politics, keep those as is or go alt-history as you wish). I have not seen series 4 but I am broadly spoiled for it, so use it or not as you wish, I trust your judgement.

Note: Referenced/past Birgitte/Phillip, Kasper/Katrine, and Hanne/her ex are fine. I'd prefer if you pretended Birgitte/Jeremy never happened, even if we didn't match on a Birgitte ship.

General: This is a standalone novel about five women in an MFA program, and the ways in which they are wonderful-terrible to each other and regular-terrible to the men they create out of animal corpses. There's axe murders, academia tropes, and much fun to be had by ... well, some. It brings me joy. Perhaps it will bring you joy too? Prompts contain spoilers.

General: Did I think this would be a fun way to waste six hours while watching Lesley Sharp be hot and morally ambiguous in a trenchcoat? Yes. Did I end up with many more feelings than I had planned for? Also yes. I like worldbuilding and fucked-up codependency, know nothing about the anime(?) this was based on, and have not seen series 2.

( Farah/Rosalind )


General: I love this gorgeous dark dreamy murder show and I love all the ladies. I have some freeforms in an old Darkest Night letter that I'd love to see in any form.

Note: Character death DNW waived for casefic OFCs and all canon characters except Alana, Bedelia, Freddie, and Beverly.

( Alana/Bedelia )



Carolyn Barek/Alex Eames: We were robbed of more Barek, frankly, and I want more of her being clever or soft or prickly or sexy or terrifying with Alex. Casefic or scenes-from-casefic where she and Alex were always partners. Drinks after work. Casual friends-with-benefits hookups. AUs where Barek doesn't leave, and what that changes. Not necessarily looking for romance/happily-ever-after but not opposed to it. Bonus for Bobby being quietly happy for them.


General: I haven't seen series 6, but given that it's not got Rhona and all my requests involve her, I'm not sure it matters much, promptswise! I like selkie!Rhona AUs, fics that explore the challenges of Shetland life vs mainland life, fics set outside with lush descriptions of the sea, gratuitous digs at Calmac ferries, and Scottish mythology. Explicit Remain-won AUs are delightful, but 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. Background/mentioned Jimmy/Duncan welcome. On the whole I liked how Rhona/Phyllis ended, and am interested in stories exploring how Rhona moves on, but AUs where they were never together are also great.

Fandom-specific DNW: Rhona permanently moving away from Shetland.

General: Clockwork Fairyland! What is there not to love? This weird little book snuck into my life and ruined me in the best way possible and I would love to be further ruined by any fic you write! I really, really loved the Changeling!Cathy faux-reveal and was a bit put out by its last-chapter reversal (all books can do with more weird changelings, lbr), so any Changeling!Cathy fic - or fic where she's human but grappling with the fact that she enjoyed elements of the time when she thought she was a soulless creature - is always adored. Background/co-existing Cathy/Laon very welcome for any of these requests. If you're interested in the sex/kink side of things here are the tags I requested for all these ships in Femslash Kink once upon a time, if you're interested in the 'Other M/E-rated Content' side of things, I have some horror-specific likes/prompts in last year's Multifandom Horror letter (short version: more cults, more Hunts, more people Coming Back Wrong(tm)).
