Hi FIAB Creator—
Thanks for creating for me! And sorry this letter’s a bit late—it’s still the 26th somewhere in the world, isn’t it?
Anyway I hope you’re as excited about this as I am, because I am Ready for this exchange :D

(my apologies for the mess that is the mediums comments; I wrote them last, and you can tell.)

I'm Elsin on ao3, and my previous letters can be found here.

General Likes

– I really like plotty fics

– Secret identity and disguise shenanigans, the more layers to them and more absurdity the better.

– Casual genderfuckery - guys in skirts and girls in suits, and nobody cares. Not necessarily any deep rumination on gender, just comfort in playing with it.

– Time travel and time loops are always fun (I say, with my three Mother of Learning requests)

– A focus on family and/or friendship, especially characters realizing they’re not nearly as alone as they think they are, and just generally characters who like each other and enjoy spending time together

– Found family; families of choice

– Character studies

– Worldbuilding

– Canon-divergence AUs and missing scenes; things set pre- or post-canon; wriggling into canon and poking at it to see what it spits back at you, if that description makes any sense at all.

- What a character would perceive as "corruption" into becoming a morally better and also better-adjusted and happier person

- Fairy tale AUs and fusions (consider this point an override of the "unrequested setting au" dnw, if you want)

General DNW

- non-con/dub-con

- explicit sexual content

- incest (incl. adoptive/chosen family)

- a/b/o

- mpreg

- non-canonical permanent major character death

- complete downer endings

- hurt no comfort

- relentless despair, self-loathing, or self-doubt

- on-page deliberate self-harm*

- on-page suicide

- gore

- graphic physical trauma

- character bashing

- cringe comedy

- fic-as-writer-soapbox

- fic that’s all about real-world bigotries or real-world politics

- specific real-world events of 2020-2021

- unrequested full-setting AUs

- marginalized identities as focus of fic

- unrequested romance as the main plot

*I don’t include things like, say, punching a wall in a fit of emotion under this. However, something like cutting would not be appreciated.

art dnw: color combinations you'd give a severe eyestrain warning for

audio dnw: an abundance of extraneous mouth noises; wild volume fluctuations, especially in quick succession (i usually listen on headphones)

Media Comments

In-Universe Media

I’ve implicitly opted in to a lot of different mediums with these ones—I really do mean any! Even if the medium isn’t labeled as in-universe, if you’ve got an idea for it and you think it would work as an in-universe piece, you should absolutely run with it. Have fun!

Art

Adaptation Concept Art | Book Cover | Costume Design | Fanart Cover/Illustration of Recipient’s Fic | Fancomic of Recipient’s Fic
All the adaptation-adjacent art! Definitely feel free to get experimental or weird with this one, I’d love to see whatever you come up with!

Coat of Arms/Heraldic Crest | Conspiracy Board | Excerpts from a Character’s Sketchbook | Floorplan/Architectural Style Drawing | In-Universe Newspaper Front Page | In-Universe Social Media | Propaganda Poster | Weapon Schematics
This is all, if not in-universe, at least with the potential to be in-universe-adjacent—you can learn a lot about a character and their world from this kind of stuff! What will you show with it?

Comics | Fanart | Stained Glass | Tapestry | Tarot Card
uh. art pretty? sorry. no thoughts head empty art pretty.

Audio

In-Universe Interview
I think this would be really interesting to play with, especially as part of a multimedia work—tho by itself would be good too!
(If you do go with this one, and if it’s reasonable to make one, I would definitely appreciate an accompanying transcript—I like audio stuff! But I also like being able to double check my auditory comprehension lmao.)

Original Fan Music
Music good. I like a lot of things—some genres I prefer over others, but I’ll listen to most anything at least once. That being said, I definitely had, like, scores in mind when I asked for this one—if you want to do something else tho go right ahead!

Podfic | Podfic of any of my fics that match this requests fandom/relationships
I like podfics! Idk, I don’t know what else to say here—just keep in mind the audio levels thing (wild fluctuations in volume hurt) and I’m sure it’ll be great!

In-Universe Magazine Article

Mission Report

All of these are, more or less, a request for epistolary works in the broad sense—I like epistolary things! Get creative with them! Do the public documents clash with things we know from canon, or from other things in the work? How absurdly wrong are the tabloids about our characters?

Poetry

Writing (& Instrusctions)

Instructions – Spell or Ritual Instructions
I just requested this for Mother of Learning—magic is always described loosely there, and I would love to see it talked about in more detail!

Any In-Universe Documents | Epistolary | Excerpts from a Character’s Journal/Notebook | In-Universe Tabloid Article | List of things (character) is not allowed to do | Mission Report
Give me all the little pieces of narrative to put together What Actually Happened! I crave them :D

Non-Linear Narrative
What can I say except that I like them? Tbh I wouldn’t normally consider this a different enough medium to be necessarily opt-in, but it is here, so here u go.

Recursive Fic of Any of the Recip’s Works In This Fandom
Really, you can’t possibly go wrong here; if you write me recursive fic of my fic I will love you forever lmao.

Meta | Worldbuilding Headcanon
Tell me all your thoughts! They needn’t be in fic format here :D

Reddit: Highly Upvoted/Gilded Reddit Comment And The Comment’s Context | In-Universe r/AmITheAsshole Post (Post + Replies) | In-Universe r/Legaladvice Post (Post + Replies) | In-Universe r/Relationships Post (Post + Replies) | In-Universe Reddit Post On Any Subreddit (Post + Replies)
I would absolutely love seeing drama played out in a Reddit thread! Especially if you drag screennames into the mix, and therefore (possibly accidental) secret identities? :eyes:

Mother of Learning: Overall Notes

Fandom-specific DNW:

physical parental abuse within the Kazinski family

Zach/Zorian

permadeath of a canonical temporary looper major-to-the-work-character within the work

significant exaggeration of canonical emotional neglect/abuse/general family dysfunction

explicit permanent erasure of time traveler characters in your work who weren’t erased in canon (this would include Zach, Zorian, and any non-canonical time travelers and non-canonical iterations of canonical time travelers. it would also technically include Silverlake and Jornak, but I don't actually care much about either of their well-being, so.)

Please consider me opted in to any AU from the MoL section of my 2020 AUEx letter for purposes of this exchange, as long as you don’t write it as fully mundane.

Modern Character Set: Silverlake, Alanic, Fortov, Taiven, Xvim, Zorian, Kiana, Raynie, Kirielle, Neolu, Zach, Kael

Silverlake & Alanic Zosk
For these two, I’d be very interested in something to do with Alanic’s backstory; Silverlake knew him as a young necromancer, so… what happened there? How did they know each other? Why was Alanic set on becoming a necromancer; clearly he got far enough to have soul sight himself—how’d he get that? Why did he leave the necromancer’s path to become a priest?

Fortov Kazinski
Of all the Kazinski siblings, we see Fortov the least, and we know that Zorian doesn’t like him much at all, but it’s also pretty clear that Zorian isn’t a totally reliable narrator when it comes to Fortov. So tell me about him! What’s it like to be Fortov Kazinski, generally charismatic middle child who isn’t a total overachiever in any field, unlike the rest of his siblings? Even Kirielle has her art.

Also, I’d be very down for a time looper!Fortov au.

Taiven, Zorian Kazinski & Taiven
Taiven! I don’t have any old prompts to cannibalize here, and I don’t have anything super specific, but! I like her a lot, I like her attitude and accidental abrasiveness and her dynamic with Zorian. I like how we see different sides of her emerge in response to Zorian’s variable behavior, and how even after Zorian surpasses her in combat ability she’s still very clearly far from helpless.

Xvim Chao & Alanic Zosk, Xvim Chao
For Alanic and Xvim, I dunno, this seemed fun? They’re both part of the “annoying but ultimately helpful teacher” club to Zorian, and they get along well with each other. They’re both a lot of fun and they play off each other well; just go wild here. I’m down for it if you are. [insert “I just think they’re neat” meme here, please.]

For Xvim, I really like him; he’s very obnoxious, through Zorian’s (and most of his students’) initial eyes, but he’s also very good, and he’s a fun kind of obnoxious, lmao.

Kiana & Raynie
Me? Latching onto a minor character in a big sprawling canon? It’s more likely than you think!

Anyway I like Raynie a lot; we don’t get a whole lot on her, but what we do get paints her as someone who’s having a very interesting life of her own, utterly divorced from the timeloop shenanigans (except re: the shifter children thing).

I like her and Kiana’s friendship, too; I like how when we finally see more of them both we learn more about how they’re similar and different.

For specific prompts, if you want to go pre-canon I’d really love something with her initial going to Cyoria and how she befriended Kiana in the first place (or, perhaps more likely, how Kiana befriended her; I somehow doubt that Raynie age 13, recently semi-exiled from her tribe, was particularly in search of outsider friends).

For post-canon, really, anything dealing with the fallout of all the things that go down in the real world would be fantastic too.

Kirielle Kazinski, Kirielle Kazinski & Zorian Kazinski
For Kirielle and Zorian, I love their dynamic! And I’d really enjoy seeing their relationship developing in real time, rather than a constantly looping world. I think it would be great to see either of them defending the other to their parents—and maybe Zorian ends up with custody of Kiri, there’s definitely things to explore there.

If you want to focus on Kirielle’s relationship with someone who isn’t Zorian, for Kirielle and Nochka, they’re adorable and I’d love a further development of their friendship, especially getting to see it grow and develop over the months and years after the invasion. If you want to write about Kiri and Zach, these two seem to have a lot of fun teaming up against Zorian lol, I really enjoy their dynamic and how they play off each other. Or you could go with someone else entirely!

I’d be here for any sort of solo story about/character study of Kiri, really, but I’m gonna prompt a few specific things anyway.

She grows up a little, and becomes a student mage—what’s that like for her, especially having received Zorian’s tutelage?

She grows up a little, and doesn’t seriously pursue magic—does she devote herself more seriously to art? Do something else? Get away from her parents, and get to just be a kid for a little longer than her siblings?

By some mechanism, Kirielle gets pulled into the time loop, whether with Zorian, instead of him, or in some utterly unrelated incident. What’s it like to grow older and older in life experience while your body remains stubbornly nine? How does this change the story? If you go this route I’d rather looper!Kiri not be erased in the timeline of the fic—ending the fic before it becomes an issue or letting her escape back to the real world are what I’d rather see.

For some reason—there’s actually a fair amount that’d have to change here, but shhh this is my ridiculous self-indulgent prompt—Kirielle is the Controller. How does she react to being in a looping world, with no one else looping she can possibly compare notes with? What does she do with her time? Why did the angels choose her? How does this impact canon—is Jornak even a problem, does the whole Sovereign Gate affair pass much as it was meant to rather than the debacle that became of it in canon?

For more elaboration on my ideas about Kirielle-the-time-traveler, and prompts about deaf!Kirielle, please see my Id Pro Quo 2021 letter.

Neoluma-Manu Iljatir & Zach Noveda, Zach Noveda
Assuming you don’t go for a setting AU, I’d generally prefer something set at least in part after the time loop begins, but beyond that I don’t have a strong preference for where in the timeline this might be set. Maybe something from before Zorian got looped in—maybe one of the iterations where Zach and Neolu just went off across the country having fun the whole month? Zach doing whatever, possibly very early on, or maybe him freaking out a little because what the hell, time travel is supposed to be impossible, and yet—what did he do in the start?

Or for post-canon, I’d really like an exploration of Zach, who’s got the lived-time of a middle-aged man and the body of a teenager—how does he relate to his classmates/other people in the real world, where everyone’s growing again? Maybe something about his lawsuit against his caretaker, or just a little thing with him, Zorian, and How Do You Live Normally, Again? This Is Hard, or some such thing.

Kael Tverinov
Kael is pretty great, honestly. A little junior necromancer, who wants to look after his daughter and be a great healer… idk, I just. I like him. Go wild. Pre-canon character study? Post-canon adventures in becoming a better healer? Spending six normal months in the Sovereign Gate and doubling it with Black Rooms and the Imperial Orb, and what that was like?

If you want AU prompts, I’m always down for alternate time traveler stories.

Silverlake & Alanic Zosk
Silverlake (probably) isn’t as old as Quatach-Ichl, and she certainly isn’t as old as the Ghost Serpent, but she’s plenty old herself; what’s it like, having seen the world change so much around you? How did Alanic factor into her life—did he impact her at all?

Quatach-Ichl, the Ghost Serpent
So, these two are just… they’re old. They’re very old; QI, the younger, is still a thousand years old, and they’ve just seen so much?? I’d love some sort of exploration of the world’s history through either of their eyes.

For the Ghost Serpent, I’d be very interested in what it saw the other Branded Ones do that put it off of them so badly.

For QI, I’m interested both in the world history around him and also how he became what he is—why/how did he become a lich in the first place? Who was he before? Why did he get a divine blessing? What did he think of the gods falling silent? What was the Necromancer’s War like?

Development of Shaping Exercises
So we know that back in the day shaping exercises were less sophisticated, and now they’re quite intense; anything you want to give me about how we got from one place to another would be great!!

Pre-Train Transportation in Altazia
This is, you know, probably incredibly niche. But! My impression of their society is that it’s sort of mid-19th-century tech levels, so trains are still seeing major developments, and idk man I just want to know more about what people did for long-distance travel—especially those who can’t teleport—before trains were a thing/so common a thing. I would also be interested in the adjacent topic of intra-city transport; surely some people have other options than walking for a city that takes a good couple hours at least to cross on foot, like Cyoria?

Original Work: Overall Notes

fandom-specific dnw:

age gaps in ships of more than 3 or so years when one character is underage (would prefer them to be in at least vaguely similar stages of life regardless of age)

predatory manipulation between characters in the relationship in service of the relationship

lengthy focus on transphobia or gender dysphoria (implied/referenced/mentioned okay; briefly present okay)

any bigotry-motivated violence

nounself pronouns

switching pronouns at random within a single character's PoV

I don’t really have super detailed prompts here, but I do love all the dynamics and ideas that I’ve asked for—toss em in a blender with something roughly shaped like my general likes and I’m sure I’ll love it!

Adolescent Supervillain & Concerned Older Superhero, Child Supervillain & Their Concerned Superhero Nemesis
So, what’s the dynamic going on here? How come the kid ended up on the wrong side of things—how does the superhero balance their concern for their young opponent and their responsibility to protect everyone else? Is the kid ruthless and hardcore, or more of a Catwoman level villain?

Child Superhero & Their Concerned Supervillain Nemesis
Look, I clearly can’t get enough of this dynamic, based on my already having written and received this pair. I do not care. Please, give me more of it. I am so incredibly weak to the person who’s typically, you know, a Criminal™ going “wait you are a child. Are you okay.”

Disillusioned Young Supervillain & Idealistic Young Superhero-in-Training
Give me all the worldview clashes! Do they think very differently, or do they have similar perspectives on the world and have just decided to respond in very different ways? How do they feel about each other—are they friendly, in spite of it all? Or do they dislike each other, or something in between?

Kid Superhero & Kid Vigilante & Kid Supervillain
A trio, this time—one on the side of the law, one trying to do good outside its purview, and one actively breaking it. How do they go together?

Teen Boy Superhero with a Magical Girl Transformation & Stealthy Teen Vigilante
Such different aesthetics! How do they go together? How do they clash?

Trans Boy Raised Into Supervillainy & Teen Superhero Desperate to Prove Themself
Did our villain kid transition young, or did he have a public villain persona before transition? Why is the hero kid so determined to prove themself, and in what way/aspect do they mean to do it?

Young Supervillain Sent to Infiltrate Hero School as a Student & Friendly Hero Student(s)
All I want here is, like, step one of infiltration: do not form emotional bonds with the people you’re infiltrating.
You have failed step one.

Often Injured Sidekick/Supervillain Who Keeps Saving Them
This just seems. Neat. Idk, I’m tired, I’m sorry. No thoughts head empty.

Last Member of an Ancient Order & Young Chosen One
What was this character chosen for? Who/what chose them? Are they being made a part of the ancient order, or is this just two people who know each other?

Necromancer & Raised Skeletons Whose Bone Puns Make Her Regret Her Career Choices, Spellsword Mercenary & Mathemagician
Look, I just. I just think these would make for some great puns, and also maybe fun adventure(?) stories.

Oath of the Ancients Paladin & Fey Wanderer Ranger
I’m mostly looking for the Vibes here, no need to ground it strictly in a DnD adjacent world—but I’d love to see your take on these two otherworldly characters! Are they friends? Frenemies? Enemies? How does the world look at them?

Older sister naturally talented for magic & Her younger brother who can’t do any magic
I love this sort of magical/nonmagical dynamic, so this pair was catnip for me, lmao. Tell me about these siblings and their dynamic and their stories!

Prophesied Hero & Prophesied Dark Lord, Prophesied Hero/Prophesied Dark Lord
My take on these two tags is a gender neutral one; I just love the dynamic of these two people who are supposed to be enemies, and are… something. Maybe they’re enemies, maybe they’re not, maybe it’s somewhere in the middle… tell me more!

Girl Living in Disquietingly Magical Small Town
What’s the magic like in this town? Is it small and subtle and making things just not-quite-right? Is it big and bright and everywhere, and the girl just isn’t used to it? Is she new to town, or has she lived there a long time?

Person Without a Destiny in a World Where Everyone’s Fate Is Known
What’s the world like to navigate, when you expected a path to be laid out before you, and yet there’s none to be found?
