deep_dark_watersHello! I'm Deepdarkwaters on Ao3 and Tumblr and ambrotypes on Twitter for any recip-stalking needs.
Short version: I'm easy to please and happy to be completely surprised, as long as you don't include the couple of DNWs mentioned below. If you've got something in mind already then do it your way! These are just suggestions - I will honestly love anything about these people. Any rating, any gender pairing if you want to do romance/smut (and if you do, my yes list from the Smut Swap tagset is here if that's helpful).
General fic loves: (probably not applicable to every fandom requested, but I include this in all letters as an overview of some of the things I enjoy reading in whatever combination) worldbuilding/exploration of the canon world; dialogue; description; competence; petty arguments; unreliable narrators; misunderstandings; found families; really old comfy friendships; really old comfy friendships that accidentally/unexpectedly become more; clumsy inappropriate humour; backstories; melancholy; loonngg dragged out UST that feels like it'll never end and then ENDS GLORIOUSLY; awkward imperfect sex where everyone's still having the best time ever; intense physical fight scenes; huge scale destruction; ridiculous things played completely straight for comedy purposes; kissing; when dick-in-hole sex isn't always the end goal or the only type considered 'real' sex; ghosts; anything to do with playing/stroking/pulling/grooming/washing/whatever someone's hair.
Please no: noncon, physical torture, hanging of any kind (choking/breathplay is fine - it's the rope and drop thing I have the trouble with), or hair cutting. There are a few fandom-specific DNWs below too.
Cottingley Fairies Hoax RPF
Elsie Wright, Frances Griffiths
I've loved the Cottingley Fairies story my entire life. I would love to see anything at all about Elsie and Frances learning about photography, their games, what made them pretend it was all real, how they felt when it all took off and ran away with itself - were they scared about being found out? Just elated that they had such a wonderful secret? Lots of things all at once? Early photography and film is a HUGE passion of mine and I feel a bit silly and reverant about it all, I don't like the tendency to get a bit ha-ha about people being taken in by something that seems so sweetly ridiculous now (even though yes there's absolutely something glorious about a couple of little girls fooling some of the best minds of the era for so long). I'm fascinated by this weird liminal time of people still figuring out this relatively new technology and what to feel about it all. I'm sure I would have been taken in as well. I WANT TO BELIEVE. Anyway - fairy hoax, children's games, young girls fooling smart old men, this sense of inexplicable magic coming to life on glass plates, secrets, I am here for any of it. I didn't nominate Arthur Conan Doyle because I'm mostly interested in the girls' stories, but absolutely do include him if you like, or anybody else who was around at the time.
Another angle - what if the pictures actually weren't a hoax? Elsie and Frances find real live fairies at the bottom of their garden and take their pictures... what then? Are they nice Disney type fairies who just want to play? Or are they the kind of fairies who demand payment for anything you take from them? Fairy stories always scared the hell out of me way more than ghosts and monsters so it would be great to read some kind of fairytale-horror take on all of this, especially because the pictures are so incredibly lovely. Turn the whole thing upside down.
General DNWs for all fandoms: noncon, physical torture, hanging, hair cutting. Specific DNW for this fandom: please no romantic/sexual relationship between Elsie and Florence, and if you pair them with anybody else then please don't have them any younger than 16.
Doxey Pool Legend
Florence Pettit, Jenny Greenteeth
I grew up mostly in Derbyshire, and being so close to the Peak District kicked off this lifelong love of local folklore. I first read this particular account in a book someone lent me while on a Guide camp up in the hills near Buxton, and it terrified me to the point of not being able to sleep until I chucked the book out of the tent. Revisiting it now, it's become the good kind of creepy rather than the paralysing fear kind (and also fandom happened in the meantime, so obviously I kind of ship it too).
In 1949, Florence Pettit and a friend went for a swim in Doxey Pool, but just before they got in Florence said she saw:
"...a great 'thing' rose up from the middle of the lake. It rose very quickly until it was 25 to 30 feet tall. Seeming to be part of the slimy weeds and the water, yet it had eyes, and those eyes were extremely malevolent. It pointed its long boney fingers menacingly at me so there was no mistaking its hostility. I stood staring at the undine, water spirit, naiad or whatever it was while my heart raced. Its feet just touched the surface of the water, the weeds and the air. When I dared to look again, the creature was dissolving back into the elements from which it had formed."
The undine is unnamed in some sources, but others call her Jenny Greenteeth (wiki), which is a name that shows in up various forms in folklore across the country. Go with that, or mix in some other folklore characters, or make it up entirely - I just really want to see what happens when Florence comes back to the pool alone because she can't stop thinking about what she saw. Is she afraid? Curious? Bewitched? Is Jenny (or whatever you call the undine) truly something malevolent, or just misunderstood? Is she protecting something? Is she trapped there? Is it a good thing if she is? Is she anything to do with the other stories of the area, like the murders and mermaid and witch and weird animal activity around Black Mere?
Here's Doxey Pool on google maps, and here's the view the other way. It's beautiful and seriously unsettling. Not sure if it's just my lingering teenage goosebumps or what, but when I've been up there it's always seemed like the air is just too still considering how windy it is everywhere else, and it's just a bit too quiet. I have this weird difficult-to-explain phobia about things that are bigger than they're meant to be, so the detail of a human-like figure rising 30 feet tall out of a pool makes me feel all weak and sweaty, but it's like a bruise I can't stop prodding. Please mess me up! I would love to be properly scared by this. Alternatively, I also love the idea of a lonely undine and a human woman finding some kind of connection despite their differences and becoming friends and/or lovers. If you go that route, I have no limits for what sex with a creepy giant lake lady would entail except please no noncon. Go as weird and inhuman as you like! Or have her able to shapeshift into something more human-like. Whatever you want - I'm super curious to see the different things that could be done with this starting point.
General DNWs for all fandoms: noncon, physical torture, hanging, hair cutting.
His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
Lee Scoresby
Lee is my all time favourite book character. I don't even have any real prompts, I just want more and more and more of him. (I've requested only him but that doesn't mean I don't want other characters as well, just that I don't want a fic without him - include anybody else you like.)
This bit with his ghost in the land of the dead from The Amber Spyglass:
"When you see that old bear, you tell him Lee went out fighting. And when the battle's over, there'll be all the time in the world to drift along the wind and find the atoms that used to be Hester, and my mother in the sagelands, and my sweethearts - all my sweethearts... Lyra, child, you rest when this is done, you hear? Life is good, and death is over..."
Aesthetically he's 109% crafted to my requirements (that tall moustachey Texan cowboy sort of look), but this is everything else I love about his character condensed into one paragraph: he's this fierce honourable fighter and braver than anyone, but also a bit sentimental and romantic. He lives exuberantly, seems to love easily, and remembers "all" his sweethearts even after he's dead. If you can get any of that mood into a story, it would be amazing.
Potential ideas:
* His relationship with one or some or many of his sweethearts - was there a favourite? Who were they? What happened to them?
* Tell me more about his adventures or explorations before the events of the main trilogy - where did he go, what did he do, who was he with?
* I love LOVE fight scenes if that's something you feel like writing.
* I love his friendship with Iorek Byrnison. I love the fond bickering and devoted love between Lee and Hester. I love his paternal sort of relationship with Lyra - what if things were different and he and Hester didn't die, and they got to stay in Lyra's life?
Basically anything goes, I just want to read about the fictional love of my whole life in whatever situation you feel like exploring, whether it's just Lee and Hester alone or with other characters of your choice.
General DNWs for all fandoms: noncon, physical torture, hanging, hair cutting. Specific DNW for this fandom: Lee/Lyra or Lee/Will, but pair him with any other canon character(s) or OCs, or gen is totally welcome as well.
The War of the Worlds - H. G. Wells
Martians, Narrator
My all time favourite book. It's terrifying. I don't think there's ever been an adaptation into any other medium that's done it justice, because everyone seems obsessed with updating it when actually the thing that gives it such incredible clout in the first place is its idyllic countryside setting and seeing all the chaos and devastation in contrast with the prim Victorian way of life shown before everything kicks off. It's not the same having modern soldiers with belts full of grenades like every other action film ever. VICTORIAN SCI FI. How do you run for your life when you're wearing a corset and can't breathe and have never seen any Spielberg films? When you're sitting there crushed under a stampede of strangers in your top hat and watch chain you probably die too quickly to wonder whether imperial Britain being invaded and wrecked by strangers from far away is a sort of poetic justice.
The only characters I nominated are the Narrator and the Martians, but feel free to write about any of the others if you like (the Elphinstowes, the narrator's brother, the Curate?), or about OCs or characters from other stories if you prefer. I don't have any solid prompts in mind, but anything about how the world goes on after the attacks would be especially awesome - does the Martian war screw us up for good? Or does it bring about a huge change in people's feelings about colonisation etc? In the book we only hear about England, but what's happening in the rest of the world during the attack? Are they even aware there's something truly awful going on? Do the Martians ever come back, stronger?
Or - and I'm not sure exactly how this would work but maybe you've got an idea - maybe you could tell something from the Martians' point of view? I've always kind of been interested in how the Martians might interact and behave on their own planet, but my brain isn't letting me pin anything down. I have no idea what kind of form a Mars-set story would take so this is really open - if you've got any thoughts at all I would LOVE to see what you come up with, because I can't quite fit my mind around it but there's so much potential for exploring that world and people. They're clearly a technologically advanced society to have been able to reach Earth and then devastate everything they touched. What's home like for them? Why did they want Earth? Do the ones left on Mars have plans to try again after the first invasion fails? Anything!
I have something bordering on a weird kink for mass destruction aesthetics in fiction, which fits this story SO WELL. Big bonus points for any details along the lines of wrecked cities, smashed buildings, collapsed Martian tripods lying in rubble, bodies floating in the Thames, etc. I would be more than happy just to receive 1000 words of lingering description about a tripod falling over or something like that. SWOON.
General DNWs for all fandoms: noncon, physical torture, hanging, hair cutting. Specific DNW for this fandom: please don't "fix" the wobbly science with modern knowledge. Old sci-fi is so fascinating to me because yes they're some great stories but also because they're so firmly of their time, they're like glorious little time capsules of every stage of recent scientific discovery and imagination. I'd love to see something in keeping with Wells' era of more limited knowledge but limitless possibility.
Which Witch - Eva Ibbotson
Arriman Canker, Belladonna, Terrence Mugg, Wizard Watcher
I read the covers off this book when I was younger, then just re-read it recently and was completely charmed all over again. I love so much about it and all the different witches' stories, but for this collection of characters in particular I've got a massive craving for a found family sequel. I love all the silliness around Arriman's character: how melodramatic he is about everything, his utter glee about filling his house with """dark""" things, how besotted he is with Belladonna. I love Belladonna smashing through her nice sweet pretty Disney princess witch setup, and actually being fierce as hell and clever and determined and brave as well. And I particularly love the form her magic takes, the sort of nature/growth/healing magic she can work by singing. It's just some really lovely evocative worldbuilding. I love the duality in Terrence being the Most Powerful Wizard Ever while still being a neglected young boy with probably some pretty intense trauma recovery to deal with. And the Wizard Watcher is one of my favourite characters: a bit tetchy and gloomy and easy to offend, but with a real sense of purpose. Terrence is in good hands, I think. I would love to see how this odd little family would take shape: apprentice wizard and Wizard Watcher and retiring wizard and witch (and their baby kraken?) all figuring out how to live in each other's space. What changes? What stays the same? Is Arriman always going to be a bit of a drama queen? (I hope so.) Do the other witches ever come and try to cause trouble, or are they just happy everything's settled back down? There wasn't room to nominate them, but Lester and Mr Leadbetter are part of the family as well if you want to include them - how do they cope with Arriman swooning around the house writing sonnets about Belladonna (or whatever Extra stuff he gets up to now he's in love)?
Alternatively, this has the potential to go pretty dark if you're not into family fluff. I like the idea of Terrence, if he's really as powerful as all that, flying past the point where Arriman and Belladonna can teach him anything. What happens then? Does he learn things himself? Does he go off and become an apprentice to someone truly evil just because nobody else is powerful enough to keep him satisfied? Does he get mixed up in some really dark stuff and the Wizard Watcher and Belladonna and Arriman have to go and rescue him? Or does something happen to them and Terrence has to do the rescuing, whatever it takes? A ton of vague ideas and not much that seems really helpful, but I love these characters a truly ridiculous amount and would just love to see anything at all about where they go next, preferably together as a family.
General DNWs for all fandoms: noncon, physical torture, hanging, hair cutting. Specific DNW for this fandom: please don't pair Terrence with any of the other characters from the book if you want to write romance/smut with him (OCs are fine though, or crossovers if there's anyone you want to match him with - Matilda Wormwood? Draco Malfoy??), and please no younger than 16.
