Something Dark and Holy:
alright might as well do fandom promo while you're here. the something dark and holy trilogy, by emily a. duncan, is composed of three books - wicked saints, ruthless gods, and blessed monsters -, and if i had to do their comps i'd say grisha trilogy meets skyrim. the series in set in fantasy!russia and fantasy!poland, two countries at war because of religious differences - fantasy!russia has a pantheon of gods and clerics, figures that are able to communicate and wield the gods' powers, while fantasy!poland has said "fuck this shit" and invented magic of their own, which upset the gods and caused war for the past few centuries. our protagonist is nadezhda "nadya" lapteva, the last of the clerics, able to commune with the entire pantheon, and who leads a mostly normal life in the monastery where she was abandoned at - until the prince of fantasy!poland comes knocking to kill her. nadya flees, and ends up meeting a mysterious soldier from fantasy!poland, alongside his two traveling companions.
for full disclosure, the author has received a callout; i feel like this r/hobbydrama post summarizes matters well enough. my promo (and warning, i guess) done, here's the prompts:

- 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

- Malachiasz Czechowicz/Nadezhda Lapteva

He smiled. “Are you all right?” He reached out a hesitant hand, brushing his thumb over a long cut that ran down her neck. “I wish I could help, but…” he trailed off. Blood mages couldn’t heal.
“I like to know you have a weakness,” she replied. She tugged on a lock of his hair. She wondered if that
was what she had become, the thing that would cause this monster king to stumble away from his throne. Another weakness. “Explain to me what’s going on—without lying, which I think is a perfectly novel idea— and I might consider forgiving you.”

i can't explain the ways these two absolutely scratch some itch i didnt know i had. it's just! both of them are lying to one another and Both Know They Are Lying! theyre from different countries w different ideologies and neither can give in for the other! theyre extremely underrated (re: see emily's callout), so i'd genuinely enjoy Anything for them!

- Malachiasz Czechowicz/Żywia

Someone reached out across from him, and he lashed out. He barely had control, and no one was going to touch Żywia.

imagine that you are childhood best friends after being sent to the Torture Pit, which is a thing that exists for some godforsaken reason. you two are put through hell and back. remade into monsters. and your best friend whos a little insane decides one day "actually im gonna be the leader of the Torture Pit" so he kills the leader, becomes the head honcho, and makes you his second. and now you have to clean his messes up because he's charismatic and all but kinda sucks at leading. such messes include ascending to godhood and failing to do that properly, so now he's half monster and out of control. also, you two are connected, so you can feel him and his sadboy emotions.
if you're feeling bad for Żywia, imagine being her! i'd love fic about these two going thru hell in the Salt Mines and being all they had - or maybe their eventual fall off? or an au where everything is okay and being the second in command to Malachiasz isn't that bad? up to you!

- 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.

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

Grishaverse

-The Darkling/Elizaveta

Six sides to the chamber. Six sides to each amber panel that comprised its soaring walls. Was this why the Little Palace had been built on a hexagonal plan? Zoya had seen the shape repeated in Grisha buildings, their tombs, their training places. Had it all begun with Elizaveta’s hive?

can you imagine loving a woman so much you shape the architecture of a culture around her? yes? okay i'd love to hear about it

- The Darkling/Genya Safin
spy whos suffering a lot/her spymaster who is powerless.... i think it's such a hurt/comfort ship that it's insane how its not shipped more. she trusted him! he trusted her! what was going on between them? i am ignoring the whole master/student shit i dont care about it i want to see the romance between a man who's sacrificing his loved one for the good of a country who hates their kind and the angst that comes from it

- The Darkling | Aleksander Morozova/Nikolai Lantsov/Alina Starkov
listen i just think redeeming the darkling is cool. also i think that royal couple nikolai and alina slowly falling in love with their frenemy darkling whos maybe a good guy now and adding them to his bed is cool. or maybe political prisioner nikolai being a little bit in love with his darklina captors. go wild


The Locked Tomb Trilogy

- Alecto/Anastasia the First
i am pointing excitedly at alecto, at the end of ntn, saying she had a Vow with anastasia. looking fondly at the presence of her skeleton (sans meat). tell me more about this - a grief-stricken anastasia bonding with god's pet? alecto and anastasia locked together in the tomb? how do they become a thing?

- The Body | Alecto | The Girl in the Tomb/Harrowhark Nonagesimus
harrow's first foray with someone who isnt A) ancient or B) in an enemyship with her is to immediately fall in love and i'd LOVE to see her spending hours and hours with alecto. or maybe some mithraeum hallucination weirdness. go wild. this is how meat loves meat, after all <3


Genshin Impact

- Layla/Scaramouche
i just think they acted cute during the event! what if scaramouche had teamed up with layla? what if they paired up (academically speaking) and it turned into mutual, begrudging respect, and then into a lovely romance and/or one night stand? i just think they'd be good for each other tbh!!

- Scaramouche/Lumine
the quest was so [vibrates in place] about it. enemies that are lovers and will never be more than that but... haha what if.... both had feelings... complicated ones... about being enemies and lovers but still being on the same side because one of you erased your crimes from existence..... wouldn't that be fucked up or what.... i'm making popcorn ignore me

- Clorinde/Navia

Navia: I should thank you for lending us your sword there, Clorinde. But before I do so, could you explain how you managed to show up here?
Clorinde: I... followed you. It seemed to me that danger has followed you more closely as of late.
Navia: I believe that following someone without their knowledge is actually called "stalking," is it not?
Clorinde: Mr. Callas' last wish was for me to ensure your safety, and I will not betray his trust. He would do the same, were he alive today.

went feral at this. it's called stalking! the blatant sad soaking wet pathetic dog she looks when she deflects the question - she HAS been stalking! she's been keeping an eye on navia! she's been following the last wishes of the man she killed! how does navia feel about all of this - before or after the quest's resolution, whatever you want to write!

- Arlecchino/Tsaritsa
the devotion of working for your archon, except you're a vilainess and thus this is probably toxic and abusive as hell. so give me all of it! the tsaritsa using arlecchino, and arlecchino who'd die and kill for her - mostly kill.

- Arlecchino/Columbina
i think insane girls deserve love. arlecchino who runs the orphanage with an iron fist! columbina who is as strong as an archon! i just know they have the craziest power games and weirdest sex of all the fatui and possibly all of teyvat. go wild!


A Song of Ice and Fire

- Robb Stark/Sansa Stark
thee most storybook-like out of the siblings - robb who believed in justice and fairness and sansa who believed in rescuing princes! so alike and yet because of the way life is, they ended in different yet similar places: robb dead with a wolf sewn on his head, and sansa "dead" with littlefinger sewing himself in her head. it's fascinating to see them and how they go on about the world, and how it ultimately fucks them over and over and over. i'd love an au where robb DOES manage to rescue sansa and live, or maybe the au where they go to pentos together. something! anything! go wild!

- Jon Snow/Rhaenys Targaryen
fascinated by the implications of this. targaryen-style marriage in an au where they're both raised together? canonverse where rhaenys survives and is sent to be ned's ward, and romance happens? how can this couple come to be? you can ignore my above incest dnw for this!

- Jon Snow/Aegon Targaryen (Son of Elia)/Rhaenys Targaryen (Daughter of Elia)
yes, we all know jon was supposed to be visenya so aegon could have his two wives. but hear me out. rhaenys was the oldest and aegon was the youngest - so what if rhaenys got promoted to queen when aerys dies (elia is dornish, no way she'd pass up her daughter on the line of succession), and as so avoid Blackfyre 2 when jon comes of age, she marries jon, aegon and rhaenys? what would be the dynamics between them?


Harry Potter

- Astoria Greengrass/Daphne Greengrass
i'd LOVE to read it abt the greengrass family curse here. maybe daphne taking care of astoria in her final days. maybe astoria trying to act lightly despite her imminent death. the angst of it all - loving yr sister (forbidden) and only being allowed to mourn her as a sister and not a lover..... that'd be insane

- Pansy Parkinson/Harry Potter
i love cliches and i love slytherins so pansy being High Bitch in Charge and harry being. well. harry lmao. is quite loved and accepted and i'll thank you profusely for writing for me

- Ariana Dumbledore
dumbledore's little sister that has so little known, but has an incredible influence in the story nonetheless. talk to me about her! i'd love anything

- Daphne Greengrass
the slytherin we know very, very little except that she was a pureblood, a slytherin, from harry's year, and that her sister dies. what else? what else can you tell me about her?

that's.... pretty much it, i think!! again - if you already have an idea and it clashes with my prompts, ignore me and go with what want to write. go wild!! have fun!! see you at reveals!
