Fandoms

Hadestown - Mitchell

Hades/Persephone (Hadestown), WB: Any (Hadestown)
Length Opt-In: Any Nominated Opt-In, Medium Opt In: Any - Any Nominated Medium


Hades and Persephone: I'd really, really love to see them attempting to make amends, post-canon, in whatever way that entails. They have SO MANY problems and I think they'd be difficult to resolve! Does Persephone stop drinking, and if so, how does that go? How supportive is Hades and the others in her life? Does Hades keep his promises about waiting for her and, if so, how does that happen?

(I forgot to add this to my sign up but I also LOVE the idea of seeing them very far down the line, and seeing how things might be different/the same. Do they have kids? Are they still in the same cycle? Are they even still together?)

Worldbuilding: I just love Hadestown and I would love any and every bit of worldbuilding about it. How did Hades get the idea to make the town? How does he find the workers? What does Persephone do downstairs? What are the other gods doing? How about Hermes, what's his role in all this? And Eury and Orpheus, what happens to them after the show ends? What about the time loop? Just pump my veins full of the Americana mee4ts Greek Mythology world and I'll have a good time. Please feel free to involve Americana/Worldbuilding myths/legends/historical figures + events or original characters in as much as you want. I just want more time and more stories in this world.

Ancient Greek Religion & Lore

Hades/Persephone (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore)
Length Opt-In: Any Nominated Opt-In, Medium Opt In: Any - Any Nominated Medium


I really love the Hades/Persephone myth and I'm always delighted for a retelling of it! Especially ones that involve lots of politics and complicated character dynamics; I'm always soft for retellings that really highlight how this is very much an arranged marriage between two kingdoms where Seph just happened to be the (un)lucky girl chosen. I honestly like literally every version of this myth! You really cannot go long! I love weird takes especially. Feel free to put this in different settings as well (except for hs/college/coffee shop/mundane au - but I'd like fantasy, in spaaaaace, etc). Feel free to change genders/looks/culture/etc, I'm just always down for the core of this store (or the Kore of the story if you will, hahaha). I love f/f, m/m, m/f equally so... :)

I would also love to see something involving their children if they have any - some myths give them either the furies, Melinoe, Makaria, or Zagreus, and I'd be deeply interested in seeing any interpretation of them (including Hades as father, Zeus as father, someone else's kid they wind up adopting, etc).

Star Wars Original Trilogy

Leia Organa & Darth Vader (SWOT)
Length Opt-In: Any Nominated Fanfiction Opt-In


I really, really love Vader and Leia in gen fic. I think it's so fascinating how she is just SO MUCH Anakin's child, and they got so little time to actually BE together in canon. I tend to believe Leia isn't one to forgive him, but I know Anakin would want her, despite her being a rebel, so I'm sure that like with Luke, had he have known, he would have pursued her to the ends of the universe.

So, basically, what I'd like, is to see what would have happened had he somehow found out Leia was his daughter instead of Luke, and been unaware of Luke instead. How would things change? When he offered Leia a chance to become empress of the galaxy...would she have taken it? Or would that not have even been an option he would have thought of? Would he wind up corrupting her, or would she wind up redeeming him, or would they simply find themselves totally repelled by one another?

Doctor Who (2005)

Ninth Doctor/Rose Tyler (Doctor Who 2005)
Length Opt-In: Any Nominated Fanfiction Opt-In, Medium Opt In: Any - Any Nominated Medium


I love, love, love Rose/Nine's banter and dynamic; the way that they're both individuals who have been formed by some trauma (Rose's father dying, the Doctor's everyone dying) who are both trying to be better, and both still struggling with it in a lot of ways. I love how Nine starts to fall in love with how Rose sees the world, and Rose gains a lot of confidence in herself from how Nine sees her. I always wish that we got to see more with them, and there's two AUs I've always really, really wanted to see:

1) I'd really love to see is what would have happened if Rose had met Nine again while searching for 10 during the end arc of season four (the stars going out and Rose and her great big dimension canon). How would they have met one another again? Would there be bittersweetness there? Would she choose to stay with him to the end of the universe? Could she? What might have happened?

2) I'd really love to see what would have happened if Rose had been isolated on Pete's world and had found, inexplicably, the 9th Doctor of that dimension. After all, he hasn't met her yet, since Rose in that world never existed; how would that change his character? Would she still feel the same way about him? How do you deal with someone you love effectively being a very familiar stranger? And how does he deal with an interloper -- or two -- from another dimension? And what, if anything, might have changed about the time war?

I'd also honestly just love any little adventures for them, especially timey-wimey ones. Jack or any of the Russel Davies! Companions/Companion families is fine to come along too, though I'd prefer no three-some for this request.

Fandom-specific DNW: Not the biggest fan of 10/Rose; I don't mind Rose being in love with 10 giving the time setting I'm asking for (and what's love without a nice bit of pining, right?) but I'd prefer if the fic focused more on her relationship with Doctor #9. I haven't seen beyond the 12th Doctors first season with Clara yet so I'd prefer not seeing anything that relies heavily on anything post-12's first season.
