Dear Author,

First of all, thank you so much for writing! These are some fandoms I've been enjoying most lately, and I can't wait to enjoy them again through your eyes.

In case it helps, I've left a few prompts per fandom (though mostly they are just me rambling about how much I like them), but I'd always rather see the story that inspires you, even if it means disregarding my prompts (or disregarding the characters we matched on entirely). I'm not too picky, and if it's a return to these fascinating worlds, I already know that I'll love it.

Dear Author,

Thank you so much for writing! These are great fandoms and I can't wait to sink into more of the setting and characters I loved from canon. I tried to write a few notes below about what I love about each of these series, and some prompt ideas, but of course, if there's something different on your mind, I'd much rather you write the story that inspires you!

( The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner )

( Machineries of Empire Series - Yoon Ha Lee )

( The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel )

( Hazards of Love )

Dear Author,

I'm so excited that we matched! I already know it will be lovely to have a new fic to read in one of these fandoms. I loved experiencing these worlds the first time through, and I'm hoping to receive a fic that lets me see a little more: some hidden backstory brought to light, an understated or underexplored relationship fleshed out, an adventure the side characters went on while the spotlight was somewhere else, etc.

A lot of my prompts this time around seem to deal with unusual relationships: perhaps they might not seem like they should get along, perhaps there's a huge difference between them in power or station, perhaps they were recently enemies and sought to harm each other. In general, my favorite relationships have to do with loyalty, understanding, maybe unexpected kindness.

In addition to character and relationship exploration, I love adventures too! I'd be delighted to see these characters tackling some quest, epic or domestic, acquiring new skills, or helping each other out in some way. (I'm kind of a sucker for modern AUs too, especially ones where the characters' original personalities really shine through.)

And of course, please don't feel the need to stick too closely to the prompts provided. Please go wherever inspiration takes you! The only thing I'm not looking for is PWP.

On to specific prompts:

( Noblesse )

( Nirvana in Fire )

( Zero Escape )

( Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia )

Dear Author,

It's my first year doing this sort of exchange, so I hope I'm providing you with the kind of details that you need. In general I love all the characters I picked, so anything at all involving them will pretty much make me happy. Don't feel the need to follow my prompts particularly closely. I don't have much in the way of squicks, triggers, or moral fiber, really, so feel free to go whatever way drives your fancy!

As for wants, I love stories that are basically missing scenes from canon. Things that feel true to the original universe, and the characters we've gotten to know. I'm delighted when I can read a story and think, yep, that's exactly what she'd do in this situation. At the same time, I love seeing a side to someone that we don't normally get: a villain showing a moment of softness, a meek background character finally standing up for herself.

I always enjoy watching my favorite characters be stone-cold badasses, exquisitely competent, and yes, maybe a little frightening. (Or a lot.) I like when they're able to set aside their emotion to do the necessary thing, or the selfless thing, or the surprising thing. I like loyalty a lot, and closeness, and deep, unspoken understanding.

I also really admire world-building. Show me what life is like in Kandra society, or how Yeerks interact in the pool. This is getting a little specific, so let's move on to prompts...
