femslashex 2021 (in progress)
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 (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, but if your muse is inclined to things less murderous, feel free! That being said, I'm extremely not into plotless/conflictless fluff or 'soft' takes on these characters/relationships, and would prefer you avoid them.
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 want to say something intelligent about this show but I'm extremely 'no thought head Birgitte and Hanne and Katrine' about it. Where I've requested both & and / versions of all these combinations I will truly be happy with whichever version you choose to write. Feel free to combine them as well - I'd be delighted by, say, Birgitte/Katrine & Hanne.
Note: Referenced/past Birgitte/Phillip and Kasper/Katrine are fine. I'd prefer if you pretended Birgitte/Jeremy never happened, even if we didn't match on one of my / ships for Birgitte.
Fandom-specific DNW: Contemporary European political landscapes in futurefic. I like futurefic, I have some prompts for it, but if you go for something set closer to now than 2013, 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 them as is or go alt-history as you wish).
( Birgitte/Katrine, Birgitte/Hanne, Hanne/Katrine )
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 herself until after she'd died, and my prompts do stem from that interpretation - I would love a story that's both Chrissie/Stevie and Chrissie/Rosa - 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.
( Chrissie/Rosa, Chrissie/Stevie )
General: Listen I'll fight Sally Wainwright in the Tesco's car park for many reasons, but this messy show about messy people is so close to my heart, and I'd love anything about these women and their relationships. I love all sides of the Julie-Gill-Janet-Rachel square, so fic combining exploring other aspects of those relationships (e.g. Gill/Julie + Janet/Rachel, past Gill/Janet + present Janet/Rachel, Janet/Rachel + Rachel & Gill) is super encouraged. I've read and enjoyed all three books - use book canon or not as you like. I strongly prefer fic that pretends Rachel/Kevin didn't happen the way it did - Rachel and Janet can still fall out over something else, references to Kevin leaking information are fine, but I'd rather you ignore the rest.
Fandom-specific DNW: Season 5 canon.
( Rachel/Janet )
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 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 fine.
Fandom-specific DNW: Rhona permanently moving away from Shetland.
( Rhona/Anke, Rhona/Asha, Rhona/Tosh )
General: This is not so much a Shirley Jackson biopic as it is a movie about a Shirley Jackson novel about Shirley Jackson's life. It's on Hulu and I HIGHLY recommend it, because 'two women the world is entirely unprepared for kneeling next to each other in the forest playing sensual mind games over dubiously poisonous mushrooms' is Extremely Made For Me Shit, and I suspect it might be a draw for some of you as well. Everyone is some shade of awful. At least one person is dead (the movie is about the time Shirley was writing Hangsaman). There's a scene on a porch swing that's just A Whole Lot. Please watch this movie and scream with me about it!
Note: Referenced/background Shirley/Stanley fine & encouraged. References to Rose's canon pregnancy fine, but I DNW focus on the pregnancy or sex with heavily pregnant Rose, if you go for smut.
( Rose/Shirley )
General: I love this show. I love a few postwar murder mysteries about women being smart and relentlessly competent and very good to each other. It brings me so much joy and if this is what we matched on I hope it brings you so much joy too.
Fandom-Specific DNW: San Francisco canon, Jean or Lucy permanently moving away from the UK.
( Jean/Lucy )
General: I watched the Welsh version of this on S4C (though I've tried to supply American Netflix episode numbers too), and fic in/incorporating Welsh is welcomed if you speak it! Mentions of/references to any of the canon m/f ships is fine (including past ships), though I'd prefer they not be the focus and DNW present-day or future Mared/John. Character death DNW waived for OFC victims in casefic and canon deaths, though I do have a slight preference for Catrin-survives AUs in post-canon fic.
( Mared/Siân )
