lastwingedthingDear author, I'm so excited you're writing something for me!

I am generally pretty flexible with the things I like. Character-driven stories are awesome, plot-driven stories are awesome, explicit porn is awesome, G-rated fluff with hand-holding is awesome, angst and bleakness are awesome, happy endings are awesome, humor is awesome! Etc.
A few of my favourite things include:
-Politics, history and worldbuilding
-Road trips (or spaceship trips, actual ship trips, etc)
-Stoic girls with repressed feelings
-Female antiheroes or villains with complex motivations
-Enemies forced to work together by circumstance
-Time travel shenanigans and what if/canon divergence AUs
-Unexpected and unconventional happy endings, or bittersweet endings
-Tragedies that are more-or-less inevitable given the nature of the individuals involved
-People living in less-than-ideal or even actively hostile situations who manage to carve out some kind of happiness despite that.
Porn likes include use of magic (or the Force) during sex, rough/frantic sex, emphasising nonhuman strengths/capabilities/anatomy for nonhuman or superpowered characters, mild D/s, and bondage/restraints.
I am okay with violence, character death, etc - provided that it is warned for up front - though I would prefer that stories do not focus solely on trauma/horror/violence, and if these do come up as part of the story, I am more interested in the lead up and the aftermath than in dragging out the details of the act itself. I have offered some dubcon/noncon prompts for Game of Thrones, but would prefer not to receive stories focusing on these themes outside those specific prompts/pairings.
DNWs:
-Different setting AUs (eg coffee shops or superheroes)
-Soulmate or soulmark universes
-Lengthy descriptions of violence/horror/major character death (as noted above)
-M/f D/s with female subs
-Unrequested kinks
-Unrequested gender/sexuality headcanons for requested canon characters.
Fandom-specific DNWs only:
-Unrequested het pairings involving Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren or Sansa Stark
-Tyrion/anyone but particularly not Tyrion/Sansa or Tyrion/Dany
-Nonconsensual Missandei/Dany.
On to the fandoms! I requested:
Game of Thrones pairings
Missandei of Naath/Daenerys Targaryen
Missandei of Naath/Grey Worm
Daenerys Targaryen/Kinvara
Daenerys Targaryen/Sansa Stark
Daenerys Targaryen/Sansa Stark/Jon Snow
Daenerys Targaryen/Cersei Lannister
I feel like, postfinale, my two main, contradictory desires are for either an actual happy ending for Team Dany (UNFRIDGE MISSANDEI!!! Let Grey Worm be happy for more than five minutes!!!) or else for Dany to rule as an ambiguous Aegon the Conqueror 2.0, ruling over half the world with fire and blood (but also ending slavery and serfdom, raising the status of women, reducing noble privilege - it would be boring if she was 100% villainous, we've already seen that with Cersei after all). But I would also love fic set during the series instead of after it, AU or otherwise - missed chances and missing moments - particularly for characters that were more sidelined from the main events or who never got to interact in that way in the show.
Possible canon-compliant scenarios:
-Anything with Missandei/Dany or Missandei/Grey Worm (or both, that poly-v or triad relationship would be really, really interesting) from any point in their histories - what these relationships meant to each of them; what it felt like to be free for the first time; trying to build new lives, new politics, a new society from the ashes of what came before.
-Dany and Sansa's in-show conflict, but with added sexual tension, and with or without Jon Snow in the middle.
-Drogon was in too much of a hurry to stop and fry Jon Snow ONLY because he was in a hurry to fly his mother's body over to Kinvara as fast as possible, leading to post-resurrection Dany/Kinvara.
-The Three-Eyed Raven isn't Bran anymore, he's an eldritch horror who has been manipulating events all along to end up on the throne, and a resurrected Dany and either Kinvara or some Starks will have to take him down...? (Good luck convincing Dany to go back to Westeros and save the world AGAIN!)
Possible AU scenarios:
-A kinder Dany on the throne - leading to whichever pairing you choose! It's pretty much canon that Dany wouldn't have gone dark if she hadn't personally witnessed Missandei's execution, right? And apparently the canon explanation for why Dany got ambushed is because she and her entire army just fucking FORGOT about Euron and his fleet - so what if she just... didn't forget?
-Or an alternative scenario for a kinder Dany as ruler - what if, when Jon told Dany his stupid plan to capture a wight and convince Cersei to help them, she just... stuck with her original opinion that it was a stupid plan? And conquered Cersei first, right then and there, instead? She was right on the verge of it at that point, and it would have left her in a more stable position than she was in by S8! Also if she hadn't lost a dragon saving Jon Snow from his own stupid plan then they wouldn't have been in such a damn hurry to fight off the Night King, would they?
-What if the War of Five Kings went differently, and a different Lannister lost everything and went over the water looking for the Dragon Queen? Cersei and Dany were such good rivals, but I also feel like they'd be basically unstoppable if they ended up on the same side, or even warily temporarily working towards the same goals...
-Dark Dany on the Iron Throne. I feel like there are so many good dubcon/noncon scenarios here, with Dany being completely out of fucks and just giving in to her darkest impulses - any pairings for this scenario out of Dany/Cersei, Dany/Sansa, Dany/Sansa/Jon would be amazing!
-One caveat to the above request is that I don't want to receive any fic where Dany forces herself on an unwilling Missandei. Although Missandei choosing to sleep with Dark Dany but feeling conflicted about it would be delightful! As would Missandei being fully committed to Dany's End Oppression plan - all, nah Westeros sucks, let's end serfdom (does Westeros have serfs? Did they ever have serfs? Does the show/books ever clarify or even care what the status of the smallfolk is?) via setting all the nobility on fire and starting over.
Crossover fandom pairings
Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)/Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)
Peter Pevensie (Narnia)/Sansa Stark (Game of Thrones)
Susan Pevensie (Narnia)/Sansa Stark (Game of Thrones)
Caspian X (Narnia)/Sansa Stark (Game of Thrones)
Game of Thrones/Star Wars
Dany/Anakin ought to be cracky and terrible - how could you possibly combine Star Wars and Game of Thrones...? - but instead it's honestly amazing and I love the idea so much. Their values and strengths (and also their potential for Maximum Destruction) intersect basically perfectly! In a way that would not necessarily be good for anyone around them, but still, I would love to read it.
Anakin is into black and white morality, powerful women, other people telling him what to do, brilliant acts of military prowess in service of a greater cause, and ending slavery. Dany is into black and white morality, being a powerful woman, telling other people what to do, inspiring other people's brilliant acts of military prowess, and setting slavers on fire. It's meant to be!
Seriously though, I'd love to see what would happen to Dany's narrative if Anakin fell out of the sky into her path around, say, Meereen. I can't imagine it would take long for Anakin to decide that it's the will of the Force for him to support this woman who wants to end slavery and is willing to go to any lengths to do so - using the Force, sharing his mechanical/engineering knowledge to improve on Dany's military technology, leading armies for her alongside Grey Worm... It would be really fascinating to see how far he would go for her, and whether she'd hold him back or urge him on.
Game of Thrones/Narnia
It's honestly kind of hilarious to think of these two universes bumping into each other - but also fascinating? Narnia is a literal fairytale, and Westeros is all gritty brutality - but there's also magic in Westeros, and room for a hidden darker side to Narnia; Peter was a warrior king, after all, and there are hints at darker themes around Susan's abduction by Rabadash and the attempted genocide of the Narnians under the Telmarines. I'd love to see how these two universes could be combined!
I've requested Sansa pairings because her younger self loved fairytales around knights and chivalry so much, and then reality hit her brutally - but what if an older Sansa found herself stumbling into Narnia under the Pevensies' or Caspian X's rule, and discovering that some fairytales are real after all? I feel like that could be a really lovely story, regardless of whether she ended up with Peter or Susan or Caspian.
Or maybe Narnia and Westeros share a border somehow, and either Sansa or Susan ends up crossing the border for a political marriage? (Maybe Susan is meant to marry Jon, and ends up falling for Sansa instead?) This one could have some fun worldbuilding, plus the same clash of ideology and experience as the above.
Or perhaps it's the Pevensies and/or Caspian who end up in Westeros, and end up playing the game alongside Sansa just to survive?
Star Wars Rebels pairings
Ahsoka Tano/CT 7567 | Rex/Darth Vader
Ahsoka Tano/Sabine Wren
One of the best things about Rebels is that it ends with Ahsoka and Sabine's big gay roadtrip - there's so many amazing possibilities! They're two of my all time favourite characters in Star Wars, but they don't get much space to interact up until that point, I'd love to see what kind of interactions and adventures they could have together.
I feel like Rebels-era Ahsoka has lost a lot of her playful cockiness - or maybe just doesn't have time for it anymore - I'd love to see a relationship with Sabine sparking that back in her again. Sparring together, lightsaber training together, pilot shenanigans together... all would be wonderful! But so would some kind of exploration of Ahsoka's new understanding of the Force, as they go looking for Ezra - or time travel? I love time travel stories and I am so happy that time travel is canon in Star Wars now!
I love the idea of strange Force adventures and a roadtrip to find Ezra (and maybe also Kanan? I am all about the unrealistic happy endings sometimes!) but if you wanted to write a different kind of story, maybe Sabine and Ahsoka working together late in the war, or Ahsoka helping and supporting Sabine as she gets involved in Mandalorian politics? Ahsoka has a long history in Mandalore after all!
As for Ahsoka/Rex/Vader, just about every AU scenario that would make this trio possible would be fascinating, if heartbreaking. All the emotional entanglements, the what-ifs and the guilt, knowing that none of them ought to care so much about people on the other side but unable to stop themselves from remembering the past... Knowing that sex or any kind of emotional connection is a terrible idea but not being able to resist anyway...
I really loved the three of them in the Clone Wars - Ahsoka and Anakin's teasing irreverence countered by Rex's formality, the partnership between the three of them despite the barriers of age and rank. Decades later Rex still thinks of Ahsoka as just about his dearest friend and Skywalker as the best Jedi of them all, and Ahsoka can't bring herself to give up on Anakin even when he's basically beyond hope... :(
And of course I want to take that tragedy and make it hurt more! Anything exploring how they feel about where they all ended up, showing that they all still care in some way despite themselves, would be wonderful, AU or not. I feel like there could be some really great AU stories with this, or time travel playing off Twilight of the Apprentice - an AU where Rex went with Ahsoka and the others to Malachor and confronted Vader there (I've always wished we got to see Rex's reaction to the truth about Anakin in the show!) and maybe things go differently, or they all end up falling back (or forward!) into time together? Enemies forced to work together by circumstance is always one of my favourite things. Or any of them being taken prisoner by the other(s) who then attempt to turn them? Or an AU where Ahsoka and/or Rex ended up going dark alongside Anakin?
Please feel free to include past Ahsoka/Rex/Anakin, or any two pairings within that triad - or have of them as having had any kind of sexual and romantic relationship with the others at all - whatever suits the needs of the story! And feel free to keep Vader in the suit, or AU him out of it, whatever suits you. (I am 100% okay with creative means of having sex while he's in the suit, too!)
Thank you again so much for writing for me!
