starsprayHello, dear Author/Artist!
If you already have an idea for what we matched on, please feel free to ignore my prompts--I'm certain I'll love whatever you come up with!
Prompts are all under the cut.
What I Don't Want: No really graphic violence (canon-typical is fine). Canon-divergence AUs are fine, but nothing that takes it out of the canon world--no coffee shop AUs or whatever, in other words. No smut, please, or incest, or anything.
.
The Silmarillion: Elwing, Elwing & Idril Celebrindal, Elwing & Earwen, Luthien Tinuviel, Nellas, Rian of the House of Beor, Isildur's Wife, Luthien Tinuviel & Nimloth, Lalwen, Melian
Elwing: I'm really interested in Elwing in Valinor, how she settles in or develops friendships/relationships with various relations or the Ainur living there.
Elwing & Idril Celebrindal: I'd be interested in any story about how their relationship develops, and maybe how it relates to the relationship between the Noldor and the Sindar in Sirion (and the Elves' relationship with the Edain). Or possibly a reunion when Idril finally reaches Valinor.
Elwing & Earwen: As I said above in my Elwing prompts, I'm really interested in Elwing's relationships with the various family members she must meet in Valinor, especially the Teleri, and Earwen especially--it says in the Silmarillion that it's Elwing who convinces the Teleri to at least sail the ships for the armies going to fight in the War of Wrath, but Earwen probably also played a role, and I like the idea of them working together.
Luthien Tinuviel: Doriath wasn't always a closed kingdom, so I think it'd be super cool to do something with Luthien traveling around Beleriand during that time when it was (relatively) safe and open--perhaps to the Falas, or to Ossiriand to meet with Denethor's folk, or Lake Mithrim. Probably she travels with her parents?
Luthien Tinuviel & Nimloth: Any sort of slice-of-life in Ossiriand would be neat, just exploring their relationship. Or before that in Doriath, depending on how old you headcanon Nimloth to be?
Nellas: I'd like to see anything about what she gets up to out in the forest. Did she ever visit the Men of Brethil? I like to think her living outside Menegroth would have saved her life when it was sacked, so what happened after? Did she go to Sirion, or east, or south to Ossiriand?
Rian: A canon-divergence AU where she lives would be great. Or a gapfiller in happier days in Dor Lomin, perhaps during her courtship with Huor.
Isildur's Wife: We know absolutely nothing about her except that she existed, so I'd be interested in pretty much anything you'd like to do with her. Where she came from, what she did after Isildur died, what was her role in the founding/governing of Gondor, or in her son Valandil's reign, since he was still just a kid when he became king of Arnor?
Lalwen: Basically all we know about her is her name and that she followed Fingolfin to Middle-earth--I'd love to see anything that fills in the gaps.
Melian: I'd like to see something similar to what I requested above for Luthien--traveling around Beleriand during the Ages of Melkor's captivity. More specifically: Lake Aeluin is said to have been hallowed by her, and I'd love to know the story behind that.
.
The Lord of the Rings: Belladonna Took, Arwen Undomiel, Eowyn, Goldberry, Aragorn and Arwen's daughters, Goldberry & Lady of the Blue Brooch, Celebrian & Arwen Undomiel, Belladonna & Mirabella & Donnamira Took, Shieldmaidens of Rohan, Galadriel & Arwen Undomiel
Belladonna Took: Adventures! Where did she go, what did she do? How did she become the Famous Belladonna Took? Alternatively: what made her want to settle down with a predictable Baggins?
Belladonna & Mirabella, & Donnamira Took: Basically the same as my Belladonna prompts, except the three of them together. What is it that made them Remarkable? I bet Gandalf was involved. And did they ever go into the Old Forest--Mirabella married a Brandybuck, after all.
Arwen Undomiel: We've got 3000-ish years before she meets Aragorn; I'd like to see any sort of gapfiller there.
Galadriel & Arwen Undomiel: Arwen spends a great deal of time in Lothlorien, so she must have a close relationship with Galadriel; I'd like basically anything exploring that. There's a lot that Galadriel can teach Arwen--perhaps handing down things that Melian had taught her?
Celebrian & Arwen Undomiel: There are so few mother-daughter relationships in Tolkien, I'd really like anything exploring this one.
Aragorn & Arwen's Daughters: I don't really have any specific prompts. I'd just like to see anything about who they were, what their lives were like, what roles they played in Gondor and/or Arnor.
Goldberry & Lady of the Blue Brooch: I ship it, and like all the unnamed characters I've requested, I'd just like to know more about who the Lady is, maybe where the brooch came from?
Goldberry: She has, presumably, been around nearly as long as Tom. I'd love to see something of Middle-earth's history from her point of view--the founding of Arnor, or its fall, or the various journeys east and west of the Elves.
Shieldmaidens of Rohan: Were there others at the time of LotR? In early drafts Tolkien had Eowyn leading a company of shieldmaidens to the battle in Gondor. That got cut out, obviously, but women riding to war openly would be cool, as would a culture clash sort of thing between these shieldmaidens and the people of Gondor.
Eowyn: I would like something with her as Princess of Ithilien, post-canon. Making friends with Elves, learning to be a healer. Something happy--she very much deserves it.
.
Harry Potter: Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Minerva McGonagall, Fleur Delacour & Molly Weasley, Fleur Delacour & Ginny Weasley
Note: While I have a vague notion of what the plot is supposed to be, I have not read (and don't really plan to) Cursed Child and would prefer not to read anything that draws very heavily on it as a piece of canon, as it seems very weird.
Hermione Granger: I'd like to get the story of her getting her Hogwarts letter--she says it was a surprise, but usually magical children show signs of it at least when they are very young, and I wonder what odd things Hermione might have done?
Ginny Weasley: Something concerning her career in Quidditch would be fantastic; alternatively, how does she get into journalism?
Luna Lovegood: I'd like to see something about her traveling around searching for strange creatures.
Minerva McGonagall: I'd like to see something fleshing out her backstory. Or a part of canon from her POV would be fantastic.
Fleur Delacour & Molly Weasley: Molly attempting to bond somehow with Fleur in the days leading up to the wedding would be fun, or perhaps some kind of culture clash.
Ginny Weasley & Fleur Delacour: They're so very different, I'd like anything that throws them in together.
.
Stand Still, Stay Silent: Tuuri Hotakainen, Sigrun Eide, Aino Hotakainen & Ensi Hotakainen, Sigrun Eide & Tuuri Hotakainen
Tuuri Hotakainen: I'd love love some Hotakainen backstory--how she ended up becoming a skald, how she got into mechanics.
Sigrun Eide: I'd love backstory for Sigrun as well--she's got lots of experience hunting trolls which means she's done lots of exciting, adventerous things!
Aino Hotakainen & Ensi Hotakainen: I'd love something exploring their relationship as Ensi discovers or develops her powers as a mage.
Sigrun Eide & Tuuri Hotakainen: Also ship it; a cheerful gapfiller pre-Tuuri's infection would be awesome. Or something from a future in which Tuuri has been rescued from the afterlife.
If you already have an idea for what we matched on, please feel free to ignore my prompts--I'm certain I'll love whatever you come up with!
