Rare pair fest 2017 letter
Jun. 18th, 2017 05:33 pm
Dear artist/author!
Thank you for creating for me! Here you find suggestions which may help you in creating. Of course, if you don’t find them interesting or inspiring, feel free to write something else about requested pairing (but please, mind my DNW). You can also check out my other letters (its prqactically the only think I post on my Dreamwidth, so I’m sure you find it. I'm open for fic in Polish, especially in case of Witcher fandom, if it's allowed in this exchange,
If you have any question, message me on tumblr on anon (http://isilloth.tumblr.com/).
General DNW: Non Con/Dub Con (except where this is canon like in case of Aredhel or Tar-Míriel, but even there make it small part of the story); genderbend; elves with enormous ears; infidelity (in case of pairing which would request it I’d prefer not focusing on it, AU or timeline before/after canon relationship. In case of Tar-Míriel or Aredhel I wouldn’t consider it cheating as their marriages was not consensual or dubiously consensual); showing characters mentioned in request as foolish or totally evil, totally bashing them (I’m not saying they were pure and good, but I don’t want one-dimensional characterization of them. Generally I’d prefer to portrait them in positive, or at least neutral light).
General likes: friends to lovers; rivals/enemies to lovers; people in love with each other, but afraid to admit it and its, tragic or not, consequences; established relationship; lovers against world – where everyone, especially parents or parental figures, think this can’t work, but they’re wrong.
Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
I’m sucker for reembodimement AU, so it would be awesome if you’d write something during this timeline.
Aegnor | Ambaráto/Andreth | Saelind (Silmarillion)
I’m always willing to read more about them. It’s one of my favorite canonical pairing, and honestly, I’m not sure why, given there is only few lines suggesting their romance. But it always make me cry.
I would like to read how they met or how they come to love. I would welcome also AU where they stay together – how it change their fates? Or maybe how Aegnor decided that it would be better for them to break up? I have strange conviction that Finrod played part in it.
Amras/Nellas (Silmarillion)
I find interesting how much they could have in common. I bet both loved forest also I imagine them both as a little bit shy. Maybe they have chance to meet before fall of Doriath, or maybe Amras met her during second kinslaying and decided to spare her. He could took her with him or maybe their ways parted for some time to meet again after many years, in Valinor.
Aredhel/Celegorm | Turcafinwë (Silmarillion)
I see them as really good-matched partners and I really love this pairing (maybe because I love Aredhel). I think it would be especially interesting to read some fic about them after Helcaraxe, at the beginning of First Age, or when they probably met, when Aredhel run away from Eol. Also, it would be ideal opportunity to explore one of my favorite theme: reembodied elves (maybe in case of Celegorm it’s not very likely, but neither impossible). Generally I like fics taking place during happy times in Valinor, so something about it would be also very welcome. Maybe impact of their fathers relationship on their relationship.
Celegorm | Turcafinwë/Lúthien Tinúviel
I may not be great fan of this relationship, but I find it oddly fitting: most beautiful woman on the world with Celegorm the Fair. Maybe Beren died earlier during the quest, and Lúthien wanted to move on, so Celegorm didn’t seem to her as such bad choice. I think different take on Beren and Lúthien relationship would be also interesting – I mean by it that for her it was something more temporary, maybe way of rebel against her father so she lost interest in it when she proved her point. And then Celegorm showed up.
Numenorean ladies
Generally speaking I really like fics focusing on Numenorean society and role of women in it. We know of them very little, so my prompt also won’t be very specific. I’d just love to read something about woman’s life in Numenor, and relationship between them. More explicit femslash encouraged.
Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types
Avallac'h | Crevan Espane aep Caomhan Macha/Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon
I’m really into this pairing! I would suggest here progress of their relationship, from distrust, and maybe even hostile to lovers. It would be interesting to see them during some adventure in other world, where Ciri moved them (maybe our world, in whatever time you want – I think it would be very interesting, and maybe also easier than coming with something completely new).
Francesca/Tissaia
Book suggests that they knew each other well – Tissaia called Francesca by Enid, as probably no other sorceress. I’m interested in their common past – when and how they had gotten to know so well?
Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
Petyr Baelish/Catelyn Stark (ASOIAF)
I have strange weakness for Littlefinger, I really don’t know why… Maybe AU scenario when his love for Catelyn is mutual. How it changes their lifes? I guess Catelyn still married Stark, given she’s quite dutiful…
Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Minerva McGonagall/Severus Snape
I’m not going to deny it, I like Snape. And I think I’d like even more if he finally get over Lily.
I think both McGonagall and Snape were very intelligent. I imagine they discuss many matters, usually didn’t agreeing on single one, but very enjoying this discussions (even if neither of them wanted to admit it). Be it slowly falling from rivals to lover or during heated discussion is up to you.
Fleur Delacour/Nymphadora Tonks
I like them both, so I think it would be interesting to read about their affair. Preferably in AU scenario where neither Fleur married Bill nor Tonks Remus.
Hermione Granger/Nymphadora Tonks
I’m not fan of affairs between teenagers with adults, so I would like to read about AU scenario where Tonks lives. Preferable Tonks survived battle of Hogwart, but Lupin no, so Hermione comforts her friend. I also not big fan of Ron/Hermione pairing (“not a big fan” is euphemism, I can’t stand it – I’m not saying Ron was bad person, I can’t say I don’t like him, but, in my opinion, he and Hermione don’t make s good couple at all) so I prefer version where they had never married (broke up before it) or divorce.
Hermione Granger/Percy Weasley (HP)
They worked together in Ministry of Magic, and there they become closer. Percy didn’t want to anger his family more, that Hermione is Ron’s ex (see above) what’s cause them many problems at the beginning of their relationship. Hermione was also a little bit reluctant to get in relationship with other Weasley.
