Pinch Hit #18 - Motherland: Fort Salem, Where the Sky is Silver and the Earth is Brass, Machineries of Empire - CLAIMED!
Request 1 by reconditarmonia
Motherland: Fort Salem (TV)
WB: Immigrant Witches (M:FS), WB: Enslaved Witches (M:FS), Original Character(s) (M:FS), Any Bellweather Ancestor(s) (M:FS), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
The alternate history that the show has created is so interesting and I’m craving expansion of that through fic! Tell me about the Bellweather ancestor who was a slave and ended up powerful and influential enough to begin a dynasty, and how she met and was recruited by Alder. Or other enslaved witches, witches in the American Revolution or the Civil War, or the founding of Fort Salem and standardization of American military magic with its various influences. How were these women able to teach each other and to win not only freedom but power? Were they able to get other enslaved women free via their own position in the military? Or Chinese or Jewish or Mexican immigrant witches who maybe came from different magic traditions and might have had to make the choice of whether or not to reveal that they had magic (if the system knows you because of your descent in the country?), serving their country but also binding their daughters and granddaughters forever. (I appreciate, for example, that there are a couple of Asian actresses in the cast and that some of them are even "High Atlantic" American royalty, but they all have English names - I want to know their families' stories in the same way that we have an idea of how influential Black witches were to the witch military! I also ended up not selecting the "European Jewry" WB tag specifically, but besides the immigration history, it did occur to me to wonder if the Holocaust happened in this universe - World War II didn't.)
Fandom-Specific DNW: I didn't enjoy the overt eugenics plotline this season and would prefer that nothing about breeding witches for stronger magic or particular traits (as opposed to any social reasons for arranged marriage and high society matching) be present in the fic.

Where the Sky is Silver and the Earth is Brass - Sonya Taaffe
WB: Demon Judaism (Sky/Silver/Earth/Brass), WB: The Mirror World (Sky/Silver/Earth/Brass), Demon (Sky/Silver/Earth/Brass), Original Character(s) (Sky/Silver/Earth/Brass), Fanfiction
"I lived where I was born, like all of us, between your dreams and your nightmares, in the land where the sky is silver and the earth is brass and all windows are mirrors, all mirrors are doors. It turned to broken glass, like yours did. Where you don’t stay, we can’t, either."
I'm so interested in the little hints that we get about the demon's world. It's on the other side of the mirror (or all mirrors, or all Jewish mirrors, anyway) - what does that mean, how does it work? How do they relate to the "real" world and the Jews in it - how does that world's shape relate to where Jews are in ours, that need to be where Jews are - and what exactly happened on their side when the Holocaust happened on ours?
And what is the demons' observance of Judaism like? They "have everything, only organized a little differently," but some things are the same - how does it work?

Or about what it feels like to be part of that when observed by someone that isn't, or to become part of that (eg. Jedao or an OC as a non-Kel seconded to the Kel). Or glove stuff, or superstitions...
Fandom-Specific DNW: I'd like to reiterate that although I'm aware that there's a lot of torture and dubcon in canon and I don't mind if you mention that they exist, I absolutely do not want any onscreen, or any details about torture even mentioned.

Pinch Hit #23 - Dragonriders of Pern, Leverage, Pacific Rim, Spelunky - CLAIMED!

Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey
WB: female dragonriders in the weyr (Dragonriders of Pern), WB: queer identities and relationships (Dragonriders of Pern), WB: Dragonrider Relationships (Dragonriders of Pern), Original Dragonrider Character(s) (Dragonriders of Pern), Original Character(s) (Dragonriders of Pern), Fanfiction
General likes in letter.
Hello, I'm so excited to see this nominated! I've always wanted to see more stories about women flying fighting dragons, particularly in the period after Mirrim, when it's becoming more common but not yet the norm. Or even pre-Mirrim, a girl who was groomed for a queen egg impressing a fighting dragon instead. If you're up for it I'd also LOVE to see two women in a weyrmate relationship - I've always wanted to see the f/f version of a mating flight and the associated bond. I'm interested in any take on women or nonbinary people and queerness in the Pern setting, too. Pern was one of the earliest things I read that had queer relationships at all, but the lack of queer women is glaringly obvious. Is there a queer culture? Is it different in the weyrs vs the holds, and are there connections and commonalities between weyr and hold queer cultures? A trans dragonrider story would be great too, or an AFAB person of any gender pretending to be a boy to get to a hatching.
I've requested only original characters for this, but I'm happy for canon characters to appear too. Just want the focus on OCs.
Do not want: rape, people being pressured into stuff, betting on whether other characters will hook up, safewords used outside of consent play ('stop' is my preferred safeword), trans women described as having dicks, trans men described as having pussies

There are many things I love about Leverage, but my favourite thing about Eliot is his foodie life. I will take absolutely anything about Eliot and food, in either the Brewpub or the food trucks. Deciding on a menu? Testing new dishes? How does he deal with feedback on his food from customers? Does he get competitive about getting the best spot in the food truck park? What about relationships with other food truck chefs?

General likes in letter.
I've picked my favourite characters and 'original characters' for this - please write whichever suits the worldbuilding best!
Two of the things I love most about Pacific Rim are 1. drift compatability and everything about it and 2. how fully realised the Shatterdome is, all the detail of it, even if most of it is background info in passing shots. I'm super interested in exploring drift compatability - people who expect to be compatible but aren't, or don't expect to be and are; things unexpectedly learned about each other through compatibility; pairs that seem to work well in testing but have unexpected trouble in action, or vice versa; how it can change relationships. SO GREAT! I love the idea of a sort of enemies-to-lovers story via drift compatibility, if that's somewhere you want to go with OCs.
The Shatterdome: I would LOVE a fic that takes us through a really ordinary day. Like one person's role in the Shatterdome, even someone who does something minor like oil Cherno Alpha's joints, and all the places they go as part of their daily routine, the people they talk to, the familiar comforts of their day in who they say hello to and what they get at the cafeteria firs thing in the morning.
Shipping: I like Mako/Raleigh and Stacker/Herc, but I really don't need it! Gen is very welcome here.

I have to admit I don't have a clear idea of what I want here, just that there is so much that's weird about Spelunky and I'd love anything that explores it more. This is one where in-universe meta would be really welcome - some kind of fake academic/news article about one of the weird aspects of worldbuilding. I'm particularly interested in the caveman culture, too, and any sort of traditions, rituals, norms or beliefs they have - and what on earth they make of spelunkers coming through. And how do they relate to the shopkeepers?
I've played Spelunky 1 and 2, so either is fair game.

Hello, I'm so excited to see this nominated! I've always wanted to see more stories about women flying fighting dragons, particularly in the period after Mirrim, when it's becoming more common but not yet the norm. Or even pre-Mirrim, a girl who was groomed for a queen egg impressing a fighting dragon instead. If you're up for it I'd also LOVE to see two women in a weyrmate relationship - I've always wanted to see the f/f version of a mating flight and the associated bond. I'm interested in any take on women or nonbinary people and queerness in the Pern setting, too. Pern was one of the earliest things I read that had queer relationships at all, but the lack of queer women is glaringly obvious. Is there a queer culture? Is it different in the weyrs vs the holds, and are there connections and commonalities between weyr and hold queer cultures? A trans dragonrider story would be great too, or an AFAB person of any gender pretending to be a boy to get to a hatching.
I've requested only original characters for this, but I'm happy for canon characters to appear too. Just want the focus on OCs.
Do not want: rape, people being pressured into stuff, betting on whether other characters will hook up, safewords used outside of consent play ('stop' is my preferred safeword), trans women described as having dicks, trans men described as having pussies

There are many things I love about Leverage, but my favourite thing about Eliot is his foodie life. I will take absolutely anything about Eliot and food, in either the Brewpub or the food trucks. Deciding on a menu? Testing new dishes? How does he deal with feedback on his food from customers? Does he get competitive about getting the best spot in the food truck park? What about relationships with other food truck chefs?

I've picked my favourite characters and 'original characters' for this - please write whichever suits the worldbuilding best!
Two of the things I love most about Pacific Rim are 1. drift compatability and everything about it and 2. how fully realised the Shatterdome is, all the detail of it, even if most of it is background info in passing shots. I'm super interested in exploring drift compatability - people who expect to be compatible but aren't, or don't expect to be and are; things unexpectedly learned about each other through compatibility; pairs that seem to work well in testing but have unexpected trouble in action, or vice versa; how it can change relationships. SO GREAT! I love the idea of a sort of enemies-to-lovers story via drift compatibility, if that's somewhere you want to go with OCs.
The Shatterdome: I would LOVE a fic that takes us through a really ordinary day. Like one person's role in the Shatterdome, even someone who does something minor like oil Cherno Alpha's joints, and all the places they go as part of their daily routine, the people they talk to, the familiar comforts of their day in who they say hello to and what they get at the cafeteria firs thing in the morning.
Shipping: I like Mako/Raleigh and Stacker/Herc, but I really don't need it! Gen is very welcome here.

I have to admit I don't have a clear idea of what I want here, just that there is so much that's weird about Spelunky and I'd love anything that explores it more. This is one where in-universe meta would be really welcome - some kind of fake academic/news article about one of the weird aspects of worldbuilding. I'm particularly interested in the caveman culture, too, and any sort of traditions, rituals, norms or beliefs they have - and what on earth they make of spelunkers coming through. And how do they relate to the shopkeepers?
I've played Spelunky 1 and 2, so either is fair game.
