Hello, creator!
I'm really looking forward to this exchange, and I'm excited to see whatever you'll create! No matter what, I hope you have a lot of fun. Prompts are here if you want them, but I'm happy with anything that respects my likes and DNWs.
If you have any questions about this letter, please contact me through the mods.

Friendly bickering
Slap-slap-kiss dynamics
Moments of quiet intimacy during breaks in the action (especially good for missing scenes in between what we see in canon)
Loyalty
Close friends/lovers charging into danger to save each other
Forced proximity (undercover together, trapped together, arranged marriage, etc.)
Elaborate plans that may or may not work out
Improvising new plans as you go along

General DNWs:
Character bashing
Canon-divergent death of any requested characters (canonical deaths are fine)
Non-canonical child death
Setting change AUs (ex. coffeeshop, high school, modern AU, etc.)
One or both/all sides of a requested pairing cheating on the other (exceptions noted in individual fandom requests)
Formalized dom/sub relationships
Ageplay
ABO/omegaverse
Mpreg
Watersports
Scat
Body horror
Explicit rape/noncon (dubcon - sex pollen with both/all characters dosed, sex in arranged marriages, fuck-or-die, etc. - are fine)
Underage under 15 and unrequested non-canonical ships with 15+ year age gaps (mentions of canon examples of both are acceptable, but please don't make them the focus of the fic)
Cross-gen incest
Animal abuse
Fic devoted primarily to examining real-world issues/-isms
Hopeless endings (endings can be dark, but not without any shred of hope)
In art - graphic depictions of violence above what you'd see in a PG-13 movie. For fic, just keep the depictions of violence at about the same level it is in canon.
FANDOMS
Ancient Greek Religion and Lore
Ariadne/Dionysus/Maenads/Satyrs
I'm fine with Ariadne/Dionysus as a 'primary' relationship with the Maenads and Satyrs being more casually involved or with one or more Maenads or Satyrs having a more serious relationship with Ariadne and/or Dionysus, however you prefer.
This is one of those relationships where things can get absolutely mindbending, in any meaning of the term. Feel free to go wild! If you want to involve specific Maenads and Satyrs too, that's good with me, or you can make OCs.
Prompts
-The cult of Dionysus offered freedom to its followers, and I love the idea of Ariadne coming into her power as the god's bride and/or a goddess in her own right, depending on what myth you read. What happened the first time Ariadne led rituals at the Bacchic or Eleusinian Mysteries?
-Ariadne and Dionysus had one of the very few functional relationships in Greek myth, and I'd love to see the early days for their marriage as Ariadne adjusts to this heady new world, as well as the sexual freedom that comes with it, with both of them taking Maenads and Satyrs for lovers.
Friends
Chandler Bing/Joey Tribbiani/Monica Geller
I enjoy this relationship as a full triad, although I also like it as a V-type relationship of your choice.
These three have some of the most solid relationships on Friends, with plenty of care to go around. They all get along so naturally it's easy to see them living like that for the rest of their lives.
Prompts
-All the tropey nonsense - fake dating! Sharing a bed for reasons (maybe during the beach vacation?)! The heating's busted and the obvious solution is to huddle for warmth. The more sitcom shenanigans the better!
-I'm really fascinated by the idea that, early on in the series, the showrunners planned for Monica/Joey to be the main pairing. How would that AU look - maybe Joey made a better impression during 'The One with the Flashback' and they started dating from there? How does Chandler join in?
Singin' in the Rain
Cosmo Brown/Don Lockwood/Kathy Selden
I enjoy this relationship as a full triad, although I also like it as a V-type relationship of your choice.
These three have such great affection for each other, and they all seem to have so much fun together. I also love references to silent and early sound-era Hollywood, whether real or fictional, as well as the business of making movies during that time period.
Prompts
-Slice-of-life stories work so well for these three, whether in the process of making a movie or just their day-to-day existence. (I always picture them living together in Don's gigantic house, barging in on each other with new ideas for songs or dances).
-Cosmo finally writes that symphony. How does the first performance go?
-The gossip columnists are absolutely baffled by these three. Bonus for fake articles trying to figure out just what their relationship is like.
A Song of Ice and Fire
Catelyn Tully Stark/Cersei Lannister/Jaime Lannister; Cersei Lannister/Jaime Lannister/Ned Stark; Catelyn Tully Stark/Jaime Lannister/Ned Stark; Catelyn Tully Stark/Cersei Lannister/Jaime Lannister/Ned Stark
I'm happy with these relationships as equilateral or as one or more Vs. In addition, if you have Ned/Catelyn as an established pairing (especially if they're married), I DNW infidelity between them. That said, infidelity with others in these groupings, including cheating on partners not mentioned in these requested pairings, is fair game.
These relationships just promise some fun dynamics. I love how intensely they can feel about each other, whether that's love or hatred, and would enjoy seeing those relationships could play out differently. It may be a trainwreck, but a spectacular one!
Prompts
-Pre-Rebellion teenage shenanigans! Maybe Cersei and Jaime visit Riverrun and have their own competition to see who can better seduce the eldest Tully girl, or Cersei gets jealous seeing Jaime and Ned get a little too close practicing sparring and wants to take her own turn with Ned.
-I really love canon divergence for this canon, and there's so many ways to take it. You could have a situation where Catelyn is married off to Jaime or Ned to Cersei (or both!), with all of them handling their post-Rebellion trauma.
-Jaime and Ned are really more alike than I think either of them would like to admit, and I love the idea of both of them serving together either on the Kingsguard or on the Wall. As for how Cersei and/or Catelyn are involved, anything goes! Maybe Queen Cersei feels that if her brother is taking a lover then she has every right to do the same with her lady-in-waiting Catelyn, or Night's Watch members Jaime and Ned start up a correspondence and later an affair with the Lady of Winterfell.
Ellaria Sand/Oberyn Martell/Willas Tyrell
I enjoy this relationship as a full triad, although I also like it as a V-type relationship of your choice.
In contrast to the other ASOIAF pairings in this letter, these three feel downright stable to me. Despite cultural differences and historical enmities between the Reach and Dorne, I really do see them as a relationship that all three take simple happiness from.
Prompts:
-Willas' first time visiting Oberyn and Ellaria in Dorne! Alternatively, the first time Ellaria comes to the Reach with Oberyn and meets Willas. Alternatively alternatively, all three of them head on a trip (for business and/or pleasure) to Essos.
-Oberyn and Willas' relationship canonically was built on letter correspondence. It'd be fun to see epistolary fic based on those letters, as well as letters to and from Ellaria.
Star Wars
Han Solo/Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker
I like this relationship as a full triad, although I also like it as a Han-centric V if you'd rather avoid the whole incest thing. Either is good!
I adore how all three of them have each other's backs basically from the start (even Han, not that he'd ever admit it). Most of the OT is one or more of them doing something incredibly stupid for the sake of saving the others, and it all adds up an incredibly strong mutual trust and affection. I'm familiar with all the movies, although I'm not as up to date on the EU, either Legends or Disney; that said, feel free to pull on any canon you want for this! I'd prefer that any works here are set before or around the time of the OT, and at the very latest be set before Ben falls.
Prompts:
-Canon divergence is a lot of fun in this canon - in particular, I never get tired of twin-switch AUs and one-or-both-twins-raised-by-Vader AUs.
-I always see Han as being just a little weirded out by the whole Force thing, no matter how long he knows Luke and Leia. How does he handle both of their growing powers, and how does it change their relationships?
-All three of them have to go undercover for Rebellion-related reasons. This can be them working together in an established relationship or an experience where the plan inevitably falling apart leads to them confessing feelings/getting together.
Bail Organa/Breha Organa/Padmé Amidala
I enjoy this relationship as a full triad, although I also like it as a V-type relationship of your choice.
Bail, Breha, and Padmé are all characters full of strength and devotion, and I appreciate their dedication to their political goals and to the people they love no matter what. I also just want the chance for them to have a happier ending than they did in canon!
Prompts
-I'd love to see how all three of them first come to know each other - Bail and Padmé's time serving together in the Senate, for example, and how one or both of them fell for Breha.
-I'm always here for Padmé-lives AUs, especially where she gets to raise the twins (possibly alongside Bail and Breha). Padmé would also be instrumental in working with Bail and Breha to create the Rebel Alliance, and I'd love to see more of all of their work as Rebels, including in AUs where all three live past the destruction of Alderaan.
I'm really looking forward to this exchange, and I'm excited to see whatever you'll create! No matter what, I hope you have a lot of fun. Prompts are here if you want them, but I'm happy with anything that respects my likes and DNWs.
