Fandom: Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators (TV)  

Tags: Fanfiction

Relationship: Luella Shakespeare/Frank Hathaway
Relationship: Luella Shakespeare & Frank Hathaway

DNW: A/B/O, explicit rape or rape as a major theme, incest, bestiality, scat and waterplay, BDSM, torture porn (brief scenes of torture are fine), underage sex (under 16).

FANDOM SPECICIC DNW: Death of any character from the show. I'd rather not have sexual content rated above T for this fandom.

Oh, this show. This sweet, delightful, goofy little gem of a mystery series. I love it so much. I love everything about it: the gorgeous locations (I have never been to Stratford-on-Avon, and now I want to), the Shakespeare references it packs in, the disguises, but most of all the characters. I like the supporting characters, but I love Luella and Frank, the way they are so fundamentally different, but work so well together and have such respect for each other. I love how competent they both are and how they complement each other. I really liked how the second series was quietly hinting at some feelings on his part towards Luella. I never expected to ship it, but after the episode in season 2 where we finally learned what happened between him and Marlowe, Frank stole my heart and I so totally completely do. He deserves to be happy.

While I normally prefer my fics on the darker side, fluff/slice of life/humour would be completely welcome for this fandom. Go a little darker and more realistic than the show by all means, but ideally for this fandom I'd prefer nothing darker than the average Agatha Christie or Midsomer Murders. Sorry if that's a bit vague, but basically if you're in a situation where you're not quite certain, it's almost certainly fine and I'm sure I'll love it. :D

I also like the locations and descriptions of Elizabethan buildings. I love all the supporting characters, so appearances from any of them would be welcome, especially Sebastian and Marlowe.

If you choose to go the shipping route, then I'd be happy with either mutual feelings or unrequited love on Frank's side. I'd be happy with gen and friendship-oriented fics as well.

Prompts

- Any kind of mystery/casefic, whether murder or something less serious
- Luella sets out to smarten Frank up.
- A time-slip lands them in Elizabethan times (I would adore this)
- Anything tropey. Bed-sharing, fake-relationship or being trapped together in a cupboard would work so well for this fandom, either for painfully awkward gen (which I would love), or something more romantic.

Fandom: The Binding - Bridget Collins

Tags: Fanart, Fanfiction  

Seredith
Relationship: Emmett Farmer & SeredithFanartFanfiction

DNW: A/B/O, incest, bestiality, scat and waterplay, BDSM, torture porn (brief scenes of torture are fine), underage sex (under 16).

FANDOM SPECIFIC DNW: Rape and abuse is a major theme in this novel, so I'm open to it as a theme here, although I'd prefer it not be too explicit. If you're unsure, then it's almost certainly fine.

Relationship: Emmett Farmer & Seredith, Seredith

I found the world-building in this novel and the basic idea behind it utterly fascinating, and found myself wanting to know more about the world and about the history and background of the world. I loved Seredith, and the quiet relationship of mutal respect that built up between her and Emmett, and I really wish we'd learned more about her. I don't mind at all if the fic touches on Seredith's death, although I'd prefer that she still has a significant role, even if it's only in Emmett's memories, for example.

I'm not looking for ship-fic specifically, but sex scenes are fine if they suit the story. (This probably doesn't need to be said, but I'd rather you kept Emmett and Seredith's relationship platonic).

Fic Prompts

- Something exploring the events of the novel from Seredith's perspective.
- Any of Seredith's backstory, particularly if that backstory explores worldbuilding and the history of the world. How did she learn she was a Binder? What happened between her and her son?
- Something developing the relationship between Emmett and Seredith, perhaps part of his training or her telling him of the history of the world.
- A canon-divergent fic where she survives and Emmett completes his training. How does he live ten or twenty years down the line when he has a practice of his own?
- Something exploring the differences between our world and theirs. Perhaps the two worlds begin to bleed into each other. Unless I missed something, it seems that there is no true fiction in their world; what would happen if a piece of literature from our world -- Shakespeare? Pride and Prejudice? -- leaked through.
- Something exploring the consequences of a book, or several, being burned and the memories, whether pleasant or otherwise, being returned to their owner.

Fanart

I think this fandom would really lend itself to something quite stylised, perhaps something incorporating books and/or the act of Binding into the image. Or alternatively something focusing on the two of them, picturing a quiet moment in their lives, or something from Seredith's past.

Fandom: Thief (Video Games)  

Tags Fanart Fanfiction
Any Character (Inspector H. Drept, Interpreter Caduca, lauryl, Garrett (Thief), Keeper Artemus)

DNW: A/B/O, explicit rape or rape as a major theme, incest, bestiality, scat and waterplay, BDSM, torture porn (brief scenes of torture are fine), underage sex (under 16).

I love all three games in the original Thief trilogy, and while he third is very different in style and feel to the first two games, there's still a lot to like about it. I love the worldbuilding, the all-too-brief glimpse it gives us into the world of the Keepers which is barely touched on in the first two games, the return of the Eye, the horror imagery of the Hag and the ghosts in the asylum, and the ending which leaves so many questions unanswered. What happens to the Keepers? How will Garrett with the Eye in his posession? Can he still do magic, even if the Keepers can't? I have *so* many questions about where the trilogy left off.

Horror imagery, particularly when it comes to the Hag or ghosts, is always welcome. Scare the **** out of me, please. And I'm not looking for shipfic or smut, but sex scenes are fine if you want to include them.

Prompts

- Anything exploring life amongst the Keepers at any point, such as while Garrett is with them, after he's left, or following the events in the third game when the glyphs have all been destroyed.
- Interpreter Caduca worked with Gamall since at least the events of the second game. What might have happened between them?
- Anything exploring Garrett's past, either in the Keepers, before he joined them, or after leaving.
- The Hag's been around for a long time. Did Garrett ever run into her when he was a boy? Anything exploring the darker side of fairy tales in the Thief universe
- A follow-on from the third game. What happened next?
- I love horror, and the Shalebridge Cradle is one of the scariest levels in any of the games. I particularly love the very 90s 13 Ghosts aesthetic. :D Something about Lauryl surviving amongst hostile ghosts, perhaps?

Fanart

Anything focusing on Garrett (perhaps something involving him and the Eye?), or something dark and creepy - the Hag or Shalebridge Cradle? Or something quieter and more contemplative?

Fandom: Death in Paradise  

Tags: fanfiction
Relationship: Jack Mooney/Catherine Bordey

DNW: A/B/O, explicit rape or rape as a major theme, incest, bestiality, scat and waterplay, BDSM, torture porn (brief scenes of torture are fine), underage sex (under 16).

I love the camaraderie on the show, the way the dynamics shift as new members of the team arrive, the slight Columbo thing Jack has going on when he's interviewing a suspect, the locked room mysteries, the gorgeous scenery...

While Richard will always be my favourite of all the DIs on Death in Paradise so far, I like Jack a lot, and I'm not sure he's been as well-served by the show as he could have been. I was hoping, right from his arrival on the island, that they were working towards pairing him up with Catherine. Well, it might not have happened yet, but I'm still hoping.

I'd be happy with anything: an established relationship, a get-together fic, mutual pining or something more one-sided.

Prompts

- How will Siobhan and/or Camille react to the news that their parents are in a relationship?
- Case-fic would be wonderful.
- Something quiet and introspective, such as Jack coming to terms with finally dating again after the loss of his wife.
- Or an AU where Richard is still the resident DI, Jack is visiting on holiday and finds himself tangled up in a case, and Camille doesn't trust him.
- Anything involving local customs and island-life.
