Darkest Night Letter
Dearest darkness-lover,
Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I am looking forward to seeing whatever you create! Feel free to go where the spirit moves you. Whether it be something sad, scary, fun, or just plain weird, as long as it avoids my DNW I am always down to play.

Pairings: Gerbert D’Aurillac/Juliette Durand (A Discovery of Witches)
Freeforms: Vampire - Character Non-Consensually Turned Into Vampire, Vampire Who Can See Victim’s Memories While Feeding Sees Memory That Is Emotionally Damaging to Them, Vampire - Vampire offers human their blood, Forced - Forced Turning into Vampire, Plot - Character A Groomed by Character B For B's Desires, Religion - Cut Off From Faith But None the Less Still Believes, Religion - Lapsed Catholicism, Dub/noncon - Drugged
I really love the unique sort of power dimension between Gerbert and Juliette. Gerbert is her vampiric "father" and it's obvious he holds an incredible amount of power over her. But Juliette also isn't afraid to sometimes try to push back in return - the fake tears, the way she spurns him in the church, etc. I would love to see something of their relationship between the two, particularly how he came to recruit her and choose her for his plans against Matthew. I'd also love to see Juliette's ways of coping with what is quite effectively her velvet prison - how aware is she of the rules of the game she plays? Does she ever try to intentionally shake the bars? How did Gerbert's training make - and, in some ways, break - her?
Gerbert having been pope Sylvester II/taking Juliette to CHURCH despite being immortal vampires is also deeply fascinating with me and I would love anything that focuses on his religion, particularly considering he certainly isn't a nice guy. Does he see himself as a satan-like figure, an instrument of god's will? Does he just use religion as fancy dross to try to seek power? Does he actually believe, and if so, how does he deal with being perpetually beyond god's light as a vampire? And what religion, if any, does Juliette cling to? Does she ever use his religion to manipulate him?

I just really have a weakness for this pairing. I love how Hades can be such a creeper here, despite him being a relatively nice person. Basically, I want allll the "behind closed doors" moments: what is it like to be a hungry young girl, trapped in the office of a god? The god of death, no less. I deeply love all versions of the gods that are "more than a man/woman" where they're a bit more of an eldrich/non-human creature, but I also versions where Hades is just a dude.

I really, really, really want to see a fic or art that focuses on the relationship troubles that resolve from Persephone's drug/alcohol use. How does Hades feel about her drinking/opium/etc? Does he mind? Does he notice? The "have a drink why don't you?" line has echoed through my mind through eternity and I want nothing but to revel in the sadness of a relationship slowly imploding -- and all the alcohol/drugs one can take to avoid it.

Listen, listen, this show had so many types of tropes I really deeply love, and the Alana/Kirigan relationship is really high up there. I love how it starts off as such a sort of "older colleague truly believes in his protegee" relationship and very suddenly but believably swings into "older than you ever thought possible wizard truly believes in + wants to harness the power of his protegee for his own means". I love, love, love how quick-witted Alina is and how she always knows what she wants, and I really love how her passionate nature contrasts with Kirigan's demeanor (which is no less emotional, but he hides it well). I really love the intensity of their relationship whenever they're in the room together and want all the delving into dark sex (or dark and sexy) places.

I've always had a terrible hunger for dark fic for the Ninth Doctor and Rose. Nine has so much PTSD and honestly Rose herself is a trauma survivor. I'd love to see how that shows in any kind of "time travel gone bad" sort of story; how do they handle that loss of control?
I'm also absolutely ravenous for the idea of what happens if you've fallen in love with an alien...and then because the alien is a space alien, they aren't compatible with you an important way, but you both love one another all the same. How do you handle that? Can you get past that?
Also just love - love - love the idea of conspiracy theories or time loops/dimension hops, and always game to see Rose and the Doctor used to explore such stories.

Pairings: Rose Tyler/Missy (Doctor Who 2005), Ninth Doctor/Simm Master (Doctor Who 2005)

I've always been fascinated by the relationship between Lucy and Simm! Master, where he seems to want to do a darker version of the Nine and Rose story: showing her the end of the universe, and of her species, is not unlike what 9 did with Rose (showing her the end of the world almost immediately after meeting her). I would love to see some side stories where Rose meets Simm! Master/Missy! Master during her "punching a hole between dimensions with the dimension cannon" travels and seeing what the two make of one another, especially darker interpretations of that. Is one-time lord as good as another to Rose? What would the master wind up doing? Does he see what the Doctor saw in her? Does she see shades of the doctor in him? How bitter are they both at being "left behind"?
Also, love a good story where 9 meets Simm! Master; they're both quite damaged, the last of their kind, and I'm not sure it would have turned out the same as it did with 10. I think there's a lot of dark feelings built up in both of them concerning the war and their people, if expressed in different ways, and I'd love to see them try to move on together and make peace (mostly, one suspects, unsuccessfully) with the fact that they're the only time lords left in the whole wide universe.
Love Rose/Doctor and Master/Doctor and the gen equivalents of both as well, so feel free to mix them up in whatever way you want for both/either pairing if desired.

Pairings/Characters: Minthe (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore), Hades/Minthe (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore), Persephone/Minthe (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore)
Freeforms: Betrayal - Taking Revenge on Cheater, Betrayal - A unable to get past B's cheating on them, Betrayal - Cheating/infidelity, Resentment, Inhumanity of Gods, vindictive gods and goddesses, Gods as monsters
I've always found Minthe interesting. If she was Hades' concubine pre-Persephone, then I'm always interested in how she navigates the space where suddenly she isn't the (only?) woman in Hades life anymore. If it's post-Persephone that Hades seduces Minthe, how does she handle not being the only woman in his life, and the politics of being The Other Woman? Either way, I'm especially interested in the power differential: Hades is the king of the underworld, and neither of the women really asked to be his subject, you know? Do they team up together? Fight one another? How do they handle that conflict? Is it more about politics, love, hate, or something else entirely?
Also, love dipping into the horrors of gods and goddesses being gods and thus being beyond comprehension in some ways. Are they much larger than nymphs? (Size kink is always A+ in my book.) What powers do they have over nymphs? Do nymphs have any way to try to claim any equality at all, or are they just playthings at the whims of more powerful beings?

I really enjoy the Hades/Persephone captivity myth. Normally when one sees it in fandom, the edges get blunted a bit: Seph agrees to be kidnapped or learns to forgive it, Hades has good reasons, etc. I'd like to see a different tack taken here: Hades does it for reasons that aren't kind; maybe because he doesn't particularly care about the niceties of courting. He's a war survivor and unlike his siblings, all he got was the underworld. Seems like a wife-gift isn't much to ask. Or maybe because he's an eldritch creature all his own, a god a generation older than Persephone and one that can't quite understand the life she lives (and she can't understand him either). Either way, there's no falling in love here: just getting through the situation.
I have a real soft spot for the Greek gods acting in non-human ways, shifting into non-human forms, and would love to see that here for Persephone or Hades. The concept of differences between generations of Gods also is interesting to me, and how they've grown up in very different ways (Hades being literally re-born into a war and Persephone having been born in a presumably more peaceful time). I'd love to see a darker take on this courtship!

Honestly in Hades I'm really interested in Persephone's half-human heritage and how that seems to play into their relationship. Does Hades resent it at times? She's so much smaller than him and I feel like with the way she grew up with Demeter, she probably has a lot of baggage about her human size/side. I would love to see some exploration of what that means o their relationship, both in the sense of how Gods and mortals senses differ, how Persephone has dealt with death in the past (her father, possibly zag if you want to take it to that level?) versus Hades' sense of such, and all that emotional jazz. I'd also I'd love fic or art that just focuses on navigating that sheer size difference.

Freeforms: Marriage - Dealing With Aftermath of Traumatic Previous Marriage/Relationship, Demons - Deals with Demons, Inhumanity of Gods, Death - Aftermath of Canonical Character Death, Death - Character Death, Trauma - Sexual Relationship as Unhealthy Coping Mechanic, Forced to marry your god, Gods as monsters
As a child who was obsessed with Greek mythology from a young age, I always knew going into the movie what happened to Megaera in mythology: torn apart by Hercules in a fit of madness. Shockingly, the Disney version doesn't go into that, but it does leave Meg (and Herc) mortal. Which isn't so much a problem until you die and then of course, well, they've already pissed off the King of the dead, whose pretty easy to piss off anyway, and he seems the type to hold grudges, so... I'd love to see the post-death story for Meg, whether you take from the OG canon or not. She's dead, and now the antagonist who double-crossed is in charge of her post-death "life", and maybe they're both a little bit pissed off over how things ended, and maybe things happen after that - with Meg's consent or not. I just really want to see where it goes.
