A GATHERING OF DRAGONS - MILLA VANE

Requested: Ardyl/Kelir, Ardyl/Kelir/Original Character(s),

What I love about the fandom and characters: BARBARIAN ROMANCE! Dinosaurs in the background! I really like how Milla Vane (aka Meljean Brook) builds words, and this series is no exception. I like the political maneuvering, I like the wildness and the violence. I love that this is a world recovering from a terrible event. I love Marrek and Yvette and the found family around them.

Which brings me to Ardyl and Kelir. They caught my eye the moment they took someone else to their beds, and the more the love between them became clearer, the more I became invested. The mutual love and pining that isn't quite pining. DELICIOUS. I also really, really love the importance of truth and honesty in this series, because it bares so many emotions that usually stay hidden. They're just so upfront about their feelings, while at the same time also being quiet about it.

The tension between their oath and loyalty to Maddek vs. their obviously deepfelt feelings for each other, and how they navigate that by having threesomes where they don't touch is just so fucking appealing to me. For fic that gets them actually together, I like the explanation Ardyl gives in book 2, that their oath to Maddek would always trump any oaths they could make to each other, but… BUT. They love each other already! It hasn't gone away! They swore their oats together! Surely there is a way that they can be together, within their oaths and loyalty towards Maddek. It can happen on their current mission, it can happen in the far future, when the Destroyer is defeated and the world is better. Maybe one of them almost dies, maybe they all almost die, maybe they finally kiss on the final battlefield! Maybe it happens when they are older or when Maddek is no longer the Ran, when they're grey and their joints are creaky...

Let them love each other!

I prefer Canon Setting fic for these two, but feel free to diverge all you want!

PROMPTS

fic that explores their youth. How they came to be part of Maddek’s Dragon. When did they realize that they loved each other? How did they decide that they never would act on it? Did they talk about this or did they never speak of it directly to one another?

One way all these feelings could be explored could be through the people they shared their beds and hearts with. Who was the first woman they shared a bed with? Who was the first man? Did they ever share Maddek between them? Ardyl mentions they both have big hearts, who else did they love or feel affection for? How did sharing their bed with a third person become the way they express the love between them? (I'm not specifically interested in the monk character who has a crush on them, but he can totally be part of a wider exploration).
The super angsty version where one of them is taken and the other has to keep their oath and can't go rescue them. Terrible things happen, but eventually, they get free/are rescued and are reunited, and dramatic love confessions happen.
Adventures on the road. They left their home behind, how do they view their fellow travelers? What do they think about the lands they travel through? How do their fellow Parsathians view their relationship? How many dinosaurs do they kill? Some kind of travelogue about their adventures on the road would be awesome. Also, since book 1 is canonically put into song by book 2, I am totally here for a bard type of character putting the story of the star-crossed barbarians to song.

CANON SPECIFIC DNWs:

Oath-breaking. Please let them stay loyal to Maddek.
No AUs outside of the canon setting. Canon Divergences are very welcome.

KING ARTHUR (2004)

Requested: Bors/Dagonet/Vanora

What I love about the fandom and pairings: I really love the whole Sarmatian Auxiliary to the Roman army angle of King Arthur. 15 years of fighting in a war that is not yours, in a country that isn't yours, for a country that is not yours. I love the easy friendship between all the knights, but also how very different they look upon their time in Britain. So much drama and fucked-upness right there.

There's this moment relatively early in the movie, when Vanora sings, and Bors and Dagonet share a look, and every time I get fucking emotional about it.

They just want to go home, but the Romans fuck them over, and then Dagonet sacrifices himself and I drown in tears.

I love the obvious affection Bors feels for both Vanora and Dagonet, I love how Dagonet is this mountain of silent, but deep feelings, and I love how Vanora is possibly the only sensible person in that whole castle. I have a mighty need for the three of them to LIVE happily ever after. Fuck, they'd be hot, and awesome and glorious together. Honestly, this is one of my perennial requests because my love for them never stills. A long time ago I wrote this Sarmatian Threesome primer, and all my emotions are still as strong.

This is a specific request for OT3, please don't make them Pairing + One

PROMPTS

DAGONET LIVES

The whole Sarmatian knight thing is one of the biggest appeals for me, so I would love fic that explores the culture clashes between Bors and Dagonet, Sarmatians raised by the Roman army, and Vanora, a woman of the isles (?). (We actually don’t know her background; she sings about Home and it’s implied she’s singing about Sarmatia, but since we don’t see any girls being displaced by the Romans, I think that she’s the daughter of a former Sarmatian knight with a British woman. Which I love because Culture Clash! But feel free to play around to your heart’s content.)
There’s also Bors idea of settling in Britain, which I love, because again, culture clash, and also Bors is just such a soldier, the idea of him trying his hand at farming cracks me up. But I also imagine them all going back to Sarmatia, and like trying to settle in a life there that they lost a long time ago, because when you spent such a formative part of your youth away from your culture, it’s bound to feel alien. Speaking of Sarmatia, apparently they were known for having Warrior Women, so a fic where Vanora’s kind but bossy nature is what attracts them to her would be lovely.
This can all be established relationship, or them getting together, either with something already being there between two of them (Bors/Vanora, or Bors/Dagonet) and the third one balancing it all out. The Romancing and Seduction of one Silent Stoic Soldier called Dagonet, by means of Stray Children, Foul Language and Excellent Sex, as told by Vanora, with enthusiastic annotations by Bors, would be excellent.
I’m not going to lie, I’m mostly into these three because they’re so affectionate with one another, there’s so much physicality in this movie and it’s so obvious they love each other. So yeah, I’m here for some hot Sarmatian threesomes. Some ideas and things I like for them:
I have a theory that obviously Bors' 12 children are at least 50% strays Dagonet picked up. I'd love a slice of life type fic, where the three (try to) find an escape from the daily chaos of raising 12 children to get laid. Extra kudos if there's a couple of awkward walk-ins and some failed attempts because of sudden interruptions. Sex in the outdoors seems like one possible solution to this problem.
I did love all the fighting scenes a lot, and angsty fic where someone gets wounded, and the other two comfort them and each other would be delicious. Without the angst I'd also love Post-Battle victory sex, Thank God We're Alive sex and Dammit, Looking at you fight makes me really horny sex. Could also be Post-Training sex, because I imagine Vanora to be an interested spectator whenever Bors and Dagonet spar. I'm convinced they'd have competitions between them to have the honor of eating Vanora out that evening. All the manhandling, rolling around, struggling for being on top. I like to think Vanora makes up for her lack of physical strength (in comparison) with the strength of her personality.
I'd love a Soulbond AU, or an Animal Shifter AU, or both. Especially if there'd be cultural differences between the Britons and Sarmatians in how was dealt with this. I love me some Fantasy Non-Human Genitalia, so feel free to go as weird and kinky as you want. I'm also really into all the marking and claiming and possessiveness, especially if it's mutual and in all directions.

Fandom specific DNW:

Dagonet being dead (except of old age when all three of them have died).
More a caveat than a DNW: I'm fine with any iteration of the Arthur-Lancelot-Guinevere situation you prefer, as long as it's very much in the background and not the focus on the fic.

WOLF IN NIGHT - TARA K. HARPER

Who I requested: Condari Rahnbada neKeatus Brithanas/Noriana Ember maDione, Condari Rahnbada neKeatus Brithanas/Noriana Ember maDione & Rishte

What I love about the fandom and characters:
I love the nature and the adventures in the wild these books have. The rock-climbing, the traveling on dnu, the wildness of the environment. I ADORE the wolfwalking, telepathic animals were my thing as a teenager, and I never got over it when it came to these books. I love all the different counties and cultures and the fact that there's nine moons and that those mess up the tides. I love that these books have always been about family and found families. I love the extremely convoluted politics, and that everybody is always playing at something. I love the hinted at history, and that there are actual aliens on this planet, who screw things up.

I love Nori's loyalty to her family, both by blood and by choice, and how she struggles now that she needs to calculate Rishte into her loyalties. I love her struggle with the alien inside her head, and the expectations put upon her. She's many things for many people, but I always felt the book set her up for finding out who she wanted to be for herself. I love her relationship with her brother as well, supportive siblings are my weakness.

I love how Condari is built out of contradictions. Rich and spoiled and comfortable, yet totally willing to do his own dirty work, or hiking through the woods. I like how he's obviously interested in Nori, and while pursuing her rather determinately, still always respects her boundaries.

I love, love, love the sexual tension between these two. Their backgrounds are so different, and their goals only seldom truly line up, but the tension and attraction and respect is so palpable between them.

This book so obviously set things up for Things to happen, and then it stopped. I WANT MORE. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

PROMPTS

I prefer Canon Setting fic for these two, but feel free to diverge all you want!

Building directly on the open ending of the book: Will Nori eventually give Condari his shirt back? Will Condari manage to hire Nori as a scout? The politics of this series are so complicated and convoluted, I'd love something that ran with that, and made sense of everything that was set-up in the Wolf in Night Book.
The sexual tension between these two is so palpable, at some point in their future together it is so going to break. Possibly at the worst possible moment. Ideally somewhere in the wilderness, so they can roll through the leaves, pin each other against trees and destroy some bushes in the process. Blood and violence optional.
Another possible scenario for the UST to break would be sparring turning into sex. Have them playfight, train, be all sweaty and filled with adrenaline, and BOOM Condari's nice clothes get shredded. Twice, because obviously Nori was wearing his shirt.
Obviously the telepathic wolves are canon, but I would love an AU where either one of them is some kind of animal shifter. Cue even more animalistic desires. You can go all out here, empathy, telepathy, throw in soul bonds. The whole plethora of shifter romance tropes are awesome, like Heats, Knotting, Scent Marking, Claiming Bites etc.
They're both from different countries, so I'm totally here for a political marriage, where they're both convinced the other is only doing it for the political motivations, and all the angst and pining and messy things that come with that.
Related: the world has a lot of weird and complicated social structures, so I would like to read about them getting married (either established relationship, or arranged marriage for political reasons), and that involving Ritual Sex. There's the whole canon thing of having stones grafted on the breastbones, so I feel like Public Ritual Sex wouldn't be that far off.
Adventures on the road. These books are filled with rock-climbing, fighting raiders, fighting nature, lots of exciting traveling. I would love for more of that, and them having to work together to survive in the wilderness. Rishte being fond of Hunter would be extra cherries on top.
I've always really liked that Rishte sees Nori's companions as her pack, and how his perspective of rank and place and function is really different from Nori's. I like how he sees Condari too, and I'm totally into the idea that the telepathic bond influences how Nori sees the people in her life.
Related to above, I love the idea that under influence of the wolf bond with Rishte, or maybe under influence of her alien connection, Nori and Condari have mate bonded. Only they didn't realize until they split up and now they need to work with this, even though they are not officially political allies.

CANON SPECIFIC DNWs

No AUs outside of the Canon setting. Canon Divergences, or AUs in the same setting very welcome. Ex: shifters, a/b/o, vampires, soulmates etc... all super cool, as long as it's on the same alien world, preferably with the telepathic wolves included.

SHADOW & BONE (TV)

What I love about the fandom and characters: I love the various settings, the multiple conflicts countries and characters are having at the same time, the magics little and large, the amazing outfits, how pretty everyone is, and the fact that somehow there is world-ending stuff going on and a bunch of thieves keeps getting involved even if the pay-out and consequences are dire. I love that it's magic but also 19th century technology and how those two combine (flying ships yo!), it really hits me in my love for steampunk.

I love Jesper's sense of style and the fact that he knows he looks good while shooting. I love how supportive a friend he is (his whole freedom talk with Inej, their deleted scene!!), and I love that he risks his life for his friends because they don't ask. I really like that he doesn't hesitate to call Kaz out on his shit. I love how full of bluster he is, but that he got kind of quiet and soft when asking Wylan out. I really liked his whole coming to terms with his powers and death of his mother and not hiding anymore plotline a lot.

I like that Wylan is both shy and somewhat insecure, but that he also knows very well what he wants (it's Jesper! And to not die! And for kids to be okay and free of the sins of their fathers), and I really like that he apparently went, "oh boy, that man is hot, might as well take my shot now", and then disappeared into the night. I love that he's unable to hide his heart eyes for one second, and I love how obviously into Jesper's everything he is, but that he's not willing to take his patronizing no matter what.

I really like where they are at the moment, but I also like that they more or less got together during multiple crises, so now what happens when they have a moment of quiet and actually have the time to figure out their relationship?

PROMPTS

Any and all of the missing moments in canon. The first time they met, their second first night, all the time inbetween the Rollins heist and Ravka needs saving, all the traveling together.
HEIST DATES! DATES WHILE ON A HEIST!! DATES THAT REQUIRE SOME HEISTING! Jesper loves heists, and what's more romantic than doing some thievery together on a date! The break-in's only the best part until the make-outs begin. The two of them undercover and still being romantic, or one of them planning a date for which some heisting needs to happen, or maybe they have to make-out a little to remain undercover… the possibilities are endless!
Jesper being into a little light roleplay is canon, so any and all variations of that. Maybe they're on a heist and have to play a role and then take that a little further to the bedroom, maybe they just re-use some of their outfits for some other characters to play, maybe Jesper just looks really dashing in a privateer outfit… maybe it stays in the bedroom, or maybe it gets out of hand and they have a whole roleplay set-up on location as some lengthy foreplay they get way too into.
Crossdressing! I'm really into the idea of Jesper in one of Poppy's outfits, and they're friends. I like the idea that Jesper takes Wylan out on a date to Poppy's show, and Wylan is actually the one getting flustered and suggesting Jesper would look really hot dressed like that.
Jesper practicing his fabrikating and them building and creating stuff together. Or creating little gifts for each other. What if Wylan put all his explosive talents towards making stuff for Jesper? Like little steampunky automatons or little colorful gizmo's. (The D&D player in me wants all the magically exploding bullets though, ha!)
Related, the sex versions of this, where Jesper fabrikates the prettiest dildo ever (after himself? After Wylan because his cock is so pretty and Wylan should experience the joy of being fucked with it?) and then makes it vibrate with his magic too. And/or Wylan crafting little automaton sex-toys.
A little light bondage where Jesper gets so overwhelmed that he fabrikates the metal headboard. Either into something really pretty as he's overwhelmed; or maybe to get free and unbound so he can touch Wylan.
Fic based on the deleted scene, where Wylan quickly or slowly moves in, and they have to figure out a relationship and living together at the same time.
Wylan talking to the butterflies made me wonder what if Wylan was an actual Disney Prince and his Grisha Power was being able to talk to animals? Think of all the possibilities! Animal Heists! Animal Matchmaking! Wylan making bombs and chemical experiments all Ratatouille like! FERRET HEISTS! The animals in Wylan's life meddling with Jesper and trying to woo him too. Nests!

FANDOM SPECIFIC DNW No Book looks, ages and/or characterisation, this is specifically a show request. (I don't mind inspiration or spoilers from the books, as long as it isn't the main focus and doesn't contradict show canon).
