Little Black Dress Exchange 2022
Dear creator,
I'm so excited to see what you're creating! I hope you have fun with your assignment.
Prompts are here if you want them, but I'm happy with seeing your own take on the tags or the dream fic you've always wanted to write but haven't had a chance to yet. For this exchange especially, I love the idea of rarepairs and wildly off-the-wall ships, although I'll also be happy with your tried-and-true favorites as well. If you're thinking that this character is too weird or obscure or in-the-background to pair the LBD off with - trust me, they aren't. (And with the background characters, while I'm not opting into complete OCs I'm completely happy if you take a character who's basically just a name or a face in canon, flesh them out, and pair them with my LBD).
Please contact me though the mods if you have any questions or concerns. I'm also sincereously on AO3.
General Likes:
Worldbuilding (especially magical, religious and cultural worldbuilding)
Unusual formats, including in-universe documents and IF/Choose Your Own Adventure
Encounters with the supernatural, particularly ghosts
Canon divergence
Outsider POV
Dramatic irony
Moments of quiet intimacy during breaks in the action (especially good for missing scenes in between what we see in canon)
Slowly building intimacy/respect together - slow burn in general
Taking care of injured people
Forced proximity (undercover together, trapped together, accidental/arranged marriage, fake dating, only one bed, etc.)
Elaborate plans that may or may not work out
Improvising new plans as you go along
"That's an extremely bad plan, of course I'm in" type situations and interpersonal dynamics
Getting in way over your head but throwing yourself headfirst into the plan anyway
Repressed characters learning to let go
Struggling against temptation/the Dark Side
Mind control/possession (and resisting mind control/possession)
Five + one things structure
General DNWs:
Character bashing
Canon-divergent death of requested characters (canonical deaths are fine)
Non-canonical child death
Setting change AUs (ex. coffeeshop, high school, modern AU, etc.)
Time travel AUs
Explicitly stated sexuality labels for characters whose sexuality is not canonically defined
Formalized dom/sub relationships
Ageplay
Raceplay
Omegaverse
Mpreg
Excretory kinks
Rape/noncon (dubcon - sex pollen with both/all characters dosed, sex in arranged marriages, fuck-or-die, etc. - are fine, as are references to canonical rape/noncon)
Underage under 15 (mentions of canon examples are fine, but please don't make them the focus of the fic)
Cross-gen incest
Animal abuse
Hopeless endings (endings can be dark, but not without any shred of hope)
Please keep the violence level at about what it is in canon.

Requested LBDs:
Margaret Houlihan, Maxwell Klinger
Requested Ship Configurations:
LBD/F
LBD/M
LBD/F/M
Ship DNWs:
LBD/Colonel Potter
LBD/BJ Hunnicutt
LBD/Radar O'Reilly
Additional Details:
- I love Margaret's spine of steel and her moments of vulnerability, her anger and her compassion, and above all her fierce sense of purpose. I really liked the episodes where she ended up alone with one or two others, especially in a forced-proximity situation - maybe she's trapped somewhere (on the road, at an aid station, in that cave from the CAVE episode) with one of the other characters and needs to make her way back to camp while relying on the other person? Or maybe we can see a different side of Margaret away from camp - in the present at Seoul or Tokyo, or in the past as she becomes the person we see onscreen, or in the future when she's readjusting to being a devoted Army nurse without a war.
- Klinger's such a fun character; he's always got some scheme running! He also has a remarkable ability to adapt, which I think would make him fit so well with so many of the characters in this show. I'd like to see him working with one of the other characters to pull off some scam and falling for them a bit in the process, or escaping a dangerous situation - black marketeers? angry MPs? - alongside the character of your choice.
Requested LBDs:
Abigail, Elliott, Haley, Leah, Krobus, Wizard | M. Rasmodius
Requested Ship Configurations:
Any configuration for Abigail, Elliott, Krobus, and the Wizard
For Haley and Leah:
LBD/F
LBD/O
LBD/F/F
LBD/F/O
The one ship opt-in for Haley and Leah outside these categories is Haley/Krobus.
For all requested LBDs, I am also opting into Rule 63 versions of non-LBD characters for this canon.
Ship DNWs:
LBD/The Farmer
Additional Details:
- Abigail has some amazing determination and a good sense of adventure! I'd enjoy seeing her finding a new adventure exploring the valley alongside your chosen character(s), or something with Abigail and the character(s) discovering her magical potential.
- Elliott's voice is one of my favorites - I love how he speaks about the world and the people he's living among, and I think he's especially good for introspection. I like the idea of him finding inspiration for his writing in all the weirdness of the valley alongside the character(s) of your choice; I'd also be super interested in seeing epistolary fic or failed drafts of his book through which he figures out his relationships.
- Krobus is so sweet and so alien, with a big heart. He has obvious reasons to be wary of the people around him, but I love to see him learning about the human world from the other characters and him teaching them about the world of the magical beings in return.
- The Wizard's got a fascinating past to explore and a lot of fun knowledge to explore behind his standoffish demeanor. Maybe the Wizard teams up with the character(s) for a difficult magical experiment! I'd also be interested to see an exploration of his past relationship(s) and their fallout, or him embarking on a new affair among the townsfolk and all the drama that entails...
- Haley has a lovely soft side under her initial snobbishness, and I love seeing her hidden depths come out almost despite herself. Anything that goes into her photography hobby would be great - maybe the chosen character(s) become her model(s)? Or perhaps she has to recruit someone's help to find something she's lost, all while internally protesting that she isn't really that interested in spending time with them, this is just for practical purposes...
- Leah's down-to-earth practicality and increasing self-confidence are awesome. She also has a wonderful connection to the valley - maybe she gets caught up in the magical side alongside the chosen character(s) while exploring it for her art?
Requested LBDs:
Kyprioth
Requested Ship Configurations:
Any!
Ship DNWs:
None.
Additional Details:
One thing I like about Kyprioth is that he's infinitely changeable, a clever and funny and often-ruthless trickster who exists entirely according to his own priorities. I love the idea of him among the raka of the Kyprish Islands, guiding and cajoling and seducing everyone from the queens to the commoners to get what he wants. I'm also interested in his interactions with the rest of the Tortallan-universe pantheon - pairing up with them to scheme against their mutual enemies, having wild flings with them, winning and losing sexy bets with them?
I'm so excited to see what you're creating! I hope you have fun with your assignment.
