AAT 2025 letter
May. 1st, 2025 10:39 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Dearest Author,
Thank you so much for these crimes in advance! Please know that I will absolutely adore anything that you gift me and though I am going to provide more likes/dislikes and some general prompts further down, please feel free to combine prompts, or ignore them completely if you get inspired in a different direction! I’m Nemainofthewater on AO3 and most other fandom spaces.
Please go wild – I will literally adore anything that you make me. If you want to do something experimental (a series of drabbles, interactive fiction, art, etc…) I will be delighted to see it!
Things I like:
-Found family. I really love team-as-family, slice of life type stories where everything may be difficult (or not!) but at least they have each other.
-I love angst. Please put my blorbos through The Horrors ™ . So long as it is appropriately tagged, I am up for anything.
-Adventures: I love case fics or adventures where the characters work together to solve a problem. It doesn’t have to be anything important! Problem solving is wonderful at all levels, whether it’s something large like overtaking an empire or small like hunting for the perfect cake. Bonus for characters displaying unexpected knowledge/skills, or just being good at their jobs and their being appreciated.
-Canon divergence AUs or role reversal. I really like time travel and time loops as well as ‘for want of a nail’ type stories. I am fond of the type of modern day AUs that preserve the fantastical elements (ie, cultivation in the modern world type thing!)
-Bring your fandom to work. Are you interested in a thing? Do you want to gush about things through the medium of fic? Here is your chance!
-Crossovers, though I would prefer if the request canon is not completely overtaken. Even for requests where I have not requested a crossover, please feel free to add some in. The list of fandoms I know is on my AO3 profile, and I am happy to read fandom blind. I also adore canon fusions
-Characters who don’t take care of themselves being gently bullied into sleeping/eating/resting, or just generally just looking after themselves.
-Food or creating things as a love language (platonic or romantic).
-OT3s to solve love triangles or, conversely, to make things worse.
-Competence and competence porn!
-Multimedia! (meta, articles, etc). Outsider POV is also something that I love and if you feel intrigued by adding that and/or any multimedia bits please indulge yourself!
-Identity porn
-Wingfic, especially wingfic that looks at the practical things associated with wings/the (pseudo)biology/the social implications…
-Survival stories. Characters are trapped somewhere for a long period of time and have to work together to survive!
-Worldbuilding – please give me all the details that you ever wanted to share, nothing is too nerdy or too detailed.
<b>DNWs: sibling (biological or otherwise) incest | underage (as defined by explicit sexual content from characters under 16) | character bashing (out of universe: it doesn’t count if characters don’t like each other in canon, for example) | racism*| sexism*| homophobia*| aphobia | transphobia | AI-generated content | Explorations of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease | Heavy explorations of cancer (mention is fine) | Scat | Watersports | Mundane Aus (ie coffee shop, college) though mundane with magic is fine
*Canon typical mentions are ok, but please don’t make the whole work about it and please don’t insert it if it wasn’t already there </b>
In the letter below, I have included the freeforms that I curated for my Id Pro Quo Letter – please feel free to take a look at them and use any of them. They are all tropes that I love (or I wouldn’t have spent the time to find them). Please also feel free to browse through my dreamwidth for old exchange letters if you want additional inspiration, I have requested Creator’s Choice of Fandom, and I stand by this!
I have also added some prompts to each request – please feel free to use them or ignore them as you see fit. I love reading stories where you, the author, have had a great time writing them! The length or brevity of each request have no bearing on how much I would like to receive a gift for a fandom.
Above all, please create whatever pleases you and whatever you have fun making; I promise that I will love whatever I get!
I opt in to:
Podfic of my work | Recursive fic of my fic | Sequels/Prequels/recursive works of gifts I have received (with the author’s permission) | Any relationships (that don’t hit my DNWs) for Character requests | Crossovers with fandoms that I have previously created for/requested
Star Wars: All Media Types
Obi-Wan Kenobi & Anakin Skywalker | Darth Vader (SW AMT)
· I read the Revenge of the Sith novelisation at a young and formative age, and I have never quite got past the tragedy of this pair
· Please feel free to lean in and make it even MORE tragic or find a way that things didn’t have to turn out the way they did!
· Have you ever wanted to write one of those suitless Vader captures his master stories? Were you worried there were too many excellent ones already? Well have no fear, for I love those fics and I am here eagerly stuffing your cake into my mouth – go for it!
Dooku & Sifo-Dyas (SW AMT)
Dooku & Jocasta Nu & Sifo-Dyas (SW AMT)
Solo: Sifo-Dyas (SW AMT)
Obi-Wan Kenobi & Sifo-Dyas (SW AMT)
· Speaking of tragedies, I have a new tragic, soaking wet favourite minor character and his name is Sifo-Dyas
· I am just so intrigued by the Dooku & Sifo-Dyas relationship – the fact that Dooku loved him as his best friend and yet he still killed him. The fact that Sifo-Dyas possibly foresaw his best friend killing him, and yet did not hold his potential actions against him… it’s just very juicy
· But like what if Dooku couldn’t kill him? What if he just… kept him? If he’s presumed dead, that’s basically the same as murder, right?
· Feel free to make any of the pairings romantic or platonic, my favourite fic vibe is ‘I have no idea what’s going on with them’
Obi-Wan Kenobi/Bail Organa/Breha Organa (SW AMT)
Padme Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker (SW AMT)
Obi-Wan Kenobi/Beru Lars/Owen Lars (SW AMT)
Chirrut Îmwe/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Baze Malbus (SW AMT)
Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Bail Organa/Breha Organa (SW AMT)
· Pspsps come here Obi-Wan, let us all lure you in to our established relationships, potentially before you notice so you don’t bolt at the sight
· Anakin decides that as the new Emperor of the Galaxy, he can do what he wants and therefore keeps both his Master and his wife
· What are the logistics to planning around everyone’s schedules? What are the gossip and conspiracy theories that spring up around these plans?

Solo: Artorin Damara | Fitzroy Angursell (Nine Worlds)
Artorin Damara | Fitzroy Angursell/Cliopher "Kip" Mdang (Nine Worlds)
Solo: The Imperial Household (Nine Worlds)
· Kip and his Radiancy are both just so unwell about each other – please give me that
· Something terrible happening to one of them and the other just continuing on because they believe that’s the only thing that they can do
· Somehow there is a way that HR can be freed from the taboos (how long? A few days? Forever?) but only if someone takes them in his place – Kip volunteers. (does HR know that there has to be a replacement?)
· Angst
· Everyone in the Imperial household being extremely competent
· Both Kip and HR disappear/are ill/are incapacitated. What do the others do?
· It turns out that all of the Emperor's servants and ministers are magically compelled to obey him in all things. How do they get past that?
Cliopher "Kip" Mdang & Gaudy Vawen (Nine Worlds)
· Uncle-nephew bonding! They are both Islanders who left, but Kip blazed the trail. I would love to see an exploration of their relationship.
Solo: The Wind That Rises at Dawn (Nine Worlds)
Solo: Worldbuilding (Nine Worlds)

· I would honestly love to see anything you do with them.
Solo: Raphael Amian | Lord of Ysthar
· Ah my other soaking wet cat of a man. He’s such a mess. His closest relationship is with someone he’s going to have to kill or be killed by. If you wanted to add Circe into this mix, please feel free (I love her)
· Raphael’s self-proclaimed closest friends didn’t even know his real name, let alone his position as Lord of Ysthar. Please, Raphael, you’re such a mess, will you literally die if you say one word??? (note, one word that isn’t quoting someone else’s poetry). I love you, why are you like this.
Raphael Amian | Lord of Ysthar & Artorin Damara | Fitzroy Angursell (Nine Worlds)
· Academic rivals! I love them
· Let them meet in person! Do either of them realise the other is anything more than a Lord Magus?
· This too is uncle-nephew bonding
Damian Raskae & Raphael Amian | Lord of Ysthar (Nine Worlds)
Kasian Chrysaeór & Raphael Amian (Nine Worlds)
· I am so intrigued by this family and their dynamics. What actually happened in those three days before the Fall?

· Have Damian and Pharia been looking for their lost son? What has happened in those missing years?
· AU where Kasian does actually petition the Lord of Ysthar for the release of his brother and Raphael has one of the most awkward meetings of his life.
Jullanar of the Sea | Mrs. Etaris & Cliopher "Kip" Mdang (Nine Worlds)

Jin Guangyao & Jin Zixuan (The Untamed)

侍神令 | Shì Shén Lìng | The Yin-yang Master (2021)
Boya & Shen Le (Shi Shen Ling)
I love the sibling relationship between this pair. Would love to see an exploration of their journey together – perhaps it actually took a few weeks? How do they divide chores?
I would also like to see anything post canon.
Qingming & Boya (shi shen ling)
I don’t know if I ship (this incarnation) of them exactly, but I would love to see more of their relationship.
Qingming & His Shishen (Shi Shen Ling)
Backstory! How did they all meet? How does the camp work? What does a day in their life look like? Or post canon, what do they do once the shishen bond is broken?
Qingming & Xiangliu (Shi Shen Ling)
Post canon fic about how the two of them co-exist? Maybe Xiangliu realises that Qingming has no survival instincts and now has to make sure that his host actually survives
Worldbuilding & None (Shi Shen Ling)
Ok, but any exploration of how the world works! What are demon-human trade relationships like? Do you know and enjoy a strange hobby and want to incorporate it into a fic? Talk to me about the Fashi and how integrated they are into the government!

· AU where Shen Wei wakes about 20 years later and has to deal with sleeping through 10,000 years, the modern day, university life, AND Kunlun coming to investigate murders at the university. And that’s without getting into any of the black cloaked guardian stuff…
· I am here for casefic! Mysterious! People being extremely annoying but also ride or die!
Shen Wei & Shen Wei's students (Guardian)
· All the outsider POV!
· Show us a side of Professor Shen that isn’t explored as much in the show
· Alternately, his students get into danger and Shen Wei just…. Explodes.
Shen Wei & Ye Zun (Guardian)
· Ye Zun has integrated well into the modern world. Much better than his brother. I would love to see him do something like drag Shen Wei to a cosplay convention with him.
· Shen Wei and Ye Zun getting mistaken for each other and just going with it would be amazing. Ye Zun has a lot of fun with it and Shen Wei just goes along with him because if his brother’s having fun far be it to be the one to rain on that parade.

I will love it! Do you want to bring your culture to fic exchanges? Do you want to explore fantasy or sci/fi worlds? Maybe you are an expert on a historical period and want to indulge. Please feel free and write away - so long as you enjoy writing it, I will love reading it!
Creator’s choice of fandom
Ok but go wild. Write whatever you want, you don’t have to stick to canons that I know. Fly free ! I only ask that if you go with something I don’t know at all, I should be able to understand at least 50% of it fandom blind, other than that the world is your oyster.
Here are some freeforms, but once again please choose any that you want at all from the list at the bottom – I went through all of them for a reason and I would love to receive anything with them.
