Something Dark and Holy

requested characters: Any
i ship all these characters in all forms and combos, so if you're feeling shippy about something go wild!! i'll focus on solo prompts because i am Not writing permutations on all of these.

- Malachiasz Czechowicz

Once there was a boy who was shattered into pieces and put back together in the shape of a monster. Once there was a boy who clutched at the remnants of what he had left as it fell through his fingers. Once there was a boy who destroyed what little there was remaining because it wasn’t enough.
The boy was gone. The monster had swallowed the heart that beat in his chest.
He let the darkness take him.

once there was a boy who was a monster and he's my favorite of all boys! he's such a sad little shit who's all about his feelings and is a monster but also SO sensitive. i'd love anything about him - his times in the Salt Mines, fic/art about his drawings, anything you want! i'm game for everything as long as it has Sad Boy Supr - i mean, the black vulture. thats his official title.

- Nadezhda Lapteva

She had to stay. She had to fight. She couldn’t hide in the cellars any longer, not while heretics tore apart her country, her home.
“Move back,” he called after a pause. “I want you all at the doors!” The courtyard was a cramped enclosure, not made for fighting. “What are you planning, Nadezhda?”
“Just some divine judgment,” she replied, bouncing on the balls of her feet. She was going to shake out of her own skin if she stopped moving and allowed herself to think on what was about to happen.

nadya is such a special character - the last cleric of kalyazin, but also the strongest; kept sheltered, important but treated like any other nun; wants to fight, but she has no clue how to do any of that and is learning pretty much on the fly. tell me about her - the childhood years, a mid-book character study, anything! i love nadya as much as i love malachiasz, so anything on her will be fun to me

- Parijahan Siroosi

He sat up and rolled his eyes, then stuck most of the bread in his mouth. He opened his spell book and dropped a quill in the crease between the pages.
“Don’t you dare start bleeding all over that while we’re eating,” Parijahan said. Malachiasz looked up, a knife already in his hand, the blade poised on his forearm, bread still half in his mouth. Parijahan stared him down. After a long silence he meekly lowered the blade.

i think parj is so fascinating. i'd love to hear more about her - post-canon, pre-canon, her POV on a canon scene.... just give me parj and her thoughts <3

- Rashid Khajouti

“We very politely gave them our names, but I suppose Kalyazi don’t appreciate manners,” Rashid said.

rashid is SUCH a fascinating character! a mage who was forced to hide his powers so he'd stay by parj side.... poor boy must've gone through a lot to supress it. in the same vein as parj, i'd love to hear more about him in whatever setting you decide!!

- Ruslan Yedemsky

Ruslan looked up at him from underneath dark eyelashes. Was that hatred or respect in his eyes? Veneration? Malachiasz would take any of the three. They could all be molded into zealotry.

look, this might as well be a worldbuilding tag. we don't know Anything about him - so if you feel like writing a backstory of why he's so into chyrnog, go for it!

- Żywia

Nadya let Żywia drag her through the halls, too dark for Nadya to ever escape. She tried to block out the screaming, but it was constant.
“How do you stand it?” she asked.
“It’s enough to know that this time, it isn’t me who’s screaming,” Żywia replied bleakly.

tell me about the girl who went into the Salt Mines, and the Vulture that came out!


Dark Rise
Requested characters: James St. Clair, Will Kempen, Violet Ballard

considering the second book comes out in the middle of yuletide's writing period and i plan to have read it by reveals, if we match on this, take this prompt as a sign to write whatever you want with the information that is revealed inside. i've dropped some prompts for them, though!

- James St. Clair
ohhhh my poor baby whos never done anything wrong except for all the atrocities....... i'd love to hear more about his decisions - his realization of him being a Reborn (and a dangerous one to boot!), fleeing to simon, whatever relief he might've felt at seeing will give him the collar... or whatever the fallout of him realizing he came back right into the dark king's arm in the near future! more babyboy is what im saying

- Will Kempen
i'd love a character study for will; we've seen his thoughts at the end of the book, at him realizing that ooops he's the bad guy, but i'd love to see him struggling with it more - quiet moments where will wonders if he's doing something he wants, or he's just manifesting the dark king's wants and needs, or maybe some post-current canon: since there's no book 2 yet, the possibilities are endless for exploration.

- Violet Ballard
she's trying so hard to be good! to avoid the curse of her blood! and she just wants to make will proud, which she doesn't realize it's her playing straight into the hands of fate! tell me all about this girl who's been thru hell, but has come through strong and so ready to kill for other people.

- Will Kempen/James St. Clair
these two had weird psychosexual sex. i'd like to see more weird sexual tension between them that's like, making the other characters ask if they need a room or something. or fluff. just give me more of these weird boys who want each other carnally but won't say so.

- Will Kempen/Violet Ballard
they were shippy! they were cute! i know this is a c.s. pacat and the endgame is obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes, but i'd still love to read about them!

- Violet Ballard/James St. Clair
i have absolutely no excuse for this, but it's such a very enemies that ARE lovers ship that it intrigues me. they hate each other and the only thing they could like about each other is will liking them. this could be a gen prompt too, tbh - go wild!

- Will Kempen/Violet Ballard/James St. Clair
related to all of the above, this is like two feral cats (violet and james) fighthing over a piece of food (will), who's actually secretly all very pleased about it but trying to not be. i think it'd be an hilarious dynamic. also could be a gen prompt!


A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms

Requested Characters: Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers

- Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers
evil fucked up great-uncle who's a tree. i feel like this post represents him well. yeah thats my fucked up great uncle who's seen the cold war, somehow, and created his 1001 eyes vigilance state. just tell me more about him and i'll love it.

Sensitive - Loossemble (Music Video)

Requested Characters: Vivi's Character, Kim Hyunjin's Character

ive requested both of them together because, to me, considering everything, they're the most Do Not Separate. i'd love anything - the spaceship time? vivi (which i'll accept also as kahei, if you prefer using her real name!) being the captain until hyunjin woke up? or them together on earth? shippy fic as genfic is good and beloved!


all in all - as i've said previously, you don't have to use all characters. i'm fine with the focus being on just one or two of the requested characters, and you don't have to use my prompts. i hope you enjoy writing for me!
