robberbaronessThank you so much for writing for me even after I totally mismanaged my time and didn’t get a letter up by the deadline! Here are a few simple prompts and ideas, but I’m very excited to see where your creativity leads you beyond them!
As a couple general rules, I’m cool with most warnings besides major character death for any of my requested characters, I’m happy for fanart or fanfiction for any of these, and my preference is Always a 63.
Persona 5
F!Protagonist & None
General Audiences
With so many villains who prey on defenseless women, wouldn’t a female protagonist have been really interesting? You don’t have to lean into that theme, though- you could do a version of one of the boss fights, some fleshed out backstory, or friendship with any or all of the other Phantom Thieves (while I put “& None”, that was mostly because I didn’t have a preference for which of her friends that might be.) This can go up to a T or so rating, if G doesn’t give enough room for canon-typical content!
Dracula - Bram Stoker (Novel 1897)
General Audiences, Explicit
F!Abraham Van Helsing/John Seward (1897)
F!Abraham Van Helsing & None (1897)
F!Abraham Van Helsing/Dracula (1897)
Ever since I found out stage versions of Dracula sometimes cast Van Helsing as a woman, I’ve loved the idea! Sarah/Abigail/[your choice of name] Van Helsing must be a pretty badass middle aged academic lady to get as far as she has. You can show her excelling at research or monster hunting on her own, show her student Jack having a crush on her (requited or otherwise) or have some hate-fueled sexual tension between her and Dracula. It can be as lighthearted or as dark as your imagination takes you!
DCU
General Audiences, Explicit
F!Damian Wayne & None (DCU)
F!Jonathan Crane & None (DCU)
F!Bruce Wayne/M!Selina Kyle (DCU)
What was it like for a girl Damian to grow up in the al Ghul family, with a grandfather who openly thought of her as a waste of effort for not being born a boy?
How would a female Jonathan Crane style herself to inflict terror- as a witch, or a nightmare hag? What things in her life lead her to this point?
What dangerous flirtations might occur between a straightlaced female vigilante and a scandalous male jewel thief?
Twin Peaks (TV 1990)
General Audiences, Explicit
F!Dale Cooper & None
F!Dale Cooper/M!Audrey Horne
Female Dale Cooper enters a beautiful but cruel town, eyes wide and heart open. What happens to her? Does she succeed where her male counterpart failed, or does she get trapped the same way he did? Is there any sexual tension between her and the lonely bad boy scion of the Horne family? I’d rather it not end on quite as much of a downer as the tv show, but I’m fine with it getting bittersweet or fucked up!
The Revenger's Tragedy - Middleton
General Audiences, Explicit
F!Vindice/Lussurioso
F!Vindice/Gloriana
A crazed and brokenhearted woman seeks vengeance on the family who killed her female lover. Show her still in love with Gloriana as a skull or a ghost, or show her in a sickly seduction of the most dissolute member of the Duke’s family. This can get as absolutely fucked up as you want, given the source material, but if you’re not feeling that, you can also do something more contemplative with that same over the top energy.
Arthurian Mythology
General Audiences, Explicit
F!Kay & Arthur (myth)
F!Arthur & None (myth)
F!Arthur & Morgan le Fay (myth)
F!Arthur & Kay (myth)
A tomboyish, occasionally bullying but overall good-hearted big sister always protects her dopey kid brother. But what happens when that situation drastically changes?
A foundling girl fostered by a poor knight is the destined Queen of the Britons. How does she go about commanding the loyalty of the realm?
Morgan is prepared to hate anyone related in any way to Uther, but what happens when she meets a kindhearted woman totally in over her head who wants her help?
When the girl-queen ascends to the throne, who better to stand by her than the sharp-tongued elder brother who always had her back?
Ancient Greek Religion & Lore
General Audiences, Explicit
F!Odysseus & Athena
I’m not really sure how this one would go, but I love the thought of an antiheroic trickster woman talking her enemies in circles with the aid of the Goddess of Wisdom. Maybe she pulled a Mulan and took her father’s place in the Trojan War in disguise only to deeply regret it later, or maybe she and Penelope have switched roles and she’s trying to get back to her husband trapped as a hostage of war across the sea. Whatever the case, how shall she act as Athena’s chosen champion?
The Lost Boys (Movies)
General Audiences, Explicit
F!David & F!Michael Emerson
F!Edgar Frog & F!Alan Frog and Sam Emerson
A lonely teenage girl finds a dangerous band of biker chicks, and falls into a weird possibly-friendship, possibly-romantic, possibly-hateful connection with their leader. They chant her name while offering her a bottle of wine.
A lonely teenage boy finds two comically intense goth girls who press vampire comics into his hands. He doesn’t take them seriously- until he has to.

F!Havelock Vetinari & F!Moist von Lipwig
All of these are chances for odd friendships, rivalries, and mentorships to bounce off each other. Tell me about a calm, mysterious, Dark Lady who rules a city with an iron fist in a velvet glove. Tell me about a recovering alcoholic woman whose soul has dried up but who needs to keep it working nonetheless to help people. Tell me about a charming lady con artist pressed into working for the public good and putting on quite a show doing it. Tell me about any of them with each other, male or female, as comic duos!
