Rare Femslash 2022

[firstroad]

First of all, thank you so much for writing for me! I'm excited for anything you come up with, and very easy to please :D You don't have to follow any of the prompts! Feel free to mix and match any of the likes, or borrow a prompt for one fandom/pairing for another, or dust off that fic at the bottom of your drawer! Most importantly, I hope you have fun

My prompts are just things that came to me in a ten-minute brainstorming session, not ideas I'm married to. If you want to go for something else feel free!

• trope subversions
• undercover anything
• worldbuilding
• "you can change what you do, but you can't change what you want" trope

I will never say no to Serial Killer or contestants-have-to-fight-each-other AUs (death games, gladiators, etc.). The most general idea of my likes is basically anything that includes sensory details and character flaws. The entire gift could be a description of a character perceiving a waterfall and I'd be in love!


DNWs:

• pregnancy being a major focus (and subsequently miscarriage or abortion being a major focus)
• dub-con or non-con with female victims (mentions are fine if it has happened in canon, but no new incidents or recovery plot please) (dubcon fine if f/f)
• first person POV in narration
• explicit underage (under 18) sex (fine if aged up for the purpose of the fic)
• graphic abuse or torture of anyone under 18 (fine if aged up for the purpose of the fic/age not mentioned for anime or book characters)
• A/B/O of the Alpha/Omega variety (other configurations such as Alpha/Alpha are okay)
• permanent character death of requested characters (character death for timeloops, or to be turned into a vampire or whatever is all OK)
• rule 63 if the end result is a M/F ship
• terminal illness
• unrequested ships being the main focus (them existing for unrequited love purposes or in the background is fine)
• unrequested gender or body-related headcanons (e.g. weight gain kink, flat chested characters suddenly being busty) (body modifications as part of a scifi universe, long-term disabilities or injuries very welcome)
• AUs in which the characters are parents or kids/de-aging
• detailed descriptions of cooked food or the process of cooking
• for non-mundane canons, AUs that remove every fantasy/sci-fi/action element (AUs that include completely different SFF elements from canon are OK) (AUs that are in the real world but have focus on the physical/contain action elements built into the premise such as pro athlete/spy/bodyguard or survival stories like deserted islands etc are OK)

I'm fine with body horror, fusions (I don’t need to know the canon, as long as it can be wiki-ed), graphic violence, gore, OCs as a love interest (I do however prefer F/F and M/M to F/M), one-sided relationships, torture, cheating/adultery (the requested ships cheating on their S/Os with each other or on each other both fine), unusual POVs that aren’t 1st person (2nd person, outsider, etc.) (1st person also great in notes, diary entries, tweets, etc.).






Bleach
General like for this fandom is any role-related canon divergence (canon shinigami is a quincy, the reverse, canon quincy is a hollow, etc.)

Fandom-specific DNW: Kazui or Ichika existing, Nel's child form taking up the major part of her scenes


Dokugamine Riruka/Inoue Orihime
Given how little we saw of them interacting my love might be disproportionate but I adore this ship! I love how Riruka is prepared to dislike Orihime -- and then very much doesn't! But in true trope fashion she also can't just admit she likes her. I'd love anything that forces them to spend some more time together!

• Any get together trope
• How does Riruka's love for cute things extend to Orihime? Introspective admiration, makeovers/playing dressup (my kingdom for Orihime to wear something that's not a long skirt), anything else
• Orihime rarely shows her backbone (which she very much does have! I can't see her as a pacifist), but Fullbring arc has quite a few of those moments where her determination is in text rather than in the background - would love to see how that extends when they meet inside the garganta later. What if Riruka did go with them? What if Orihime stayed back?
• Orihime is meant to be a Fullbringer too -- training together?

Dokugamine Riruka/Kuchiki Rukia
We get a fight scene that's not even a real fight scene and that was enough for me to ship them <3

• They both understand being on the outside looking in -- confessional moments of backstories?
• Rukia discovers her in Soul Society during Thousand Year Blood War arc
• The same as above but post-canon, where Riruka is maybe just visiting to see Ginjou?
• I'm not sure how fake dating can work with them in canon, but I know I'd love it

F!Kurosaki Ichigo/Nelliel Tu Oderschvank
Obviously there's interaction in canon, but what truly makes me like this as a ship is their end of the volume poems and how similar they are ("If I don't wield the sword, I can't protect you. / If I keep wielding the sword, I can't embrace you." and "If you were to give me wings, I would fly for you even if this entire land were to sink underwater / If you were to give me a sword, I would stand up and fight for you, even if this entire sky were to pierce you with its light") - they both lean so hard on protection, although Nel is much more leavel-headed about it.

• Nel went inside that big poison ball Askin created - how did she get out? How is she once she's out?
• Anything that explores how different her attitude is when speaking to Ichigo vs. like... Anyone else
• There's room for conflict in her worldview that one who possesses reason must possess reason to fight and the numerous ways we're told Ichigo likes battle - does it resolve?

scroll to top

F!Kurosaki Ichigo/Sui-Feng | Soifon (Bleach)
I have no preference between the romanisations of Soifon's name!
I don't even remember if they interacted later after that one panel that went like 'Hi Soifon' 'Do not speak to me you're worthless when Yoruichi isn't here' and I freely admit this is a ship born of 'I like character A, I like character B, now they should kiss!'

• What if Ichigo actually listened to Ginjo and did not want to fight for Soul Society - the onmitsukidō is supposed to conduct executions
• Handwave-y established relationship moments!
• The above was handwavey because I can't think of a fast way to get them together based on canon only - if you can, I'd love to see it!

scroll to top

Inoue Orihime/Kuchiki Rukia
Ohhhhhhhhh, them <333 That scene were Ukitake was looking at them training and was like 'Rukia is so closed off but she made a friend' gets me emotional every time :') Orihime banging on the wall trying to get out when Rukia's spiritual pressure disappears! (and this might be just me having femslash goggles on tight, but I can't help but compare that moment to when Ulquiorra and Ichigo started fighting and Orihime took long enough to even try to protect him that Ulquiorra commented on it - like, the contrast! the difference in her reaction!)

• More from the time when Orihime went to Soul Society to train with Rukia! Both training and non-training things!
• Post-canon: does Orihime settle on which of the 5 careers she wants? How is her new life?
• I feel like Orihime's rejection powers would make her one of the few (if any?) people able to withstand Rukia's bankai
• More outsider POV on their relationship! 5+1 outsider POVs?

scroll to top

Kotetsu Isane/Unohana Retsu
Why yes I do tear up when I think of the fact that the only person Unohana left a letter for when she knew she was going to die was Isane! I'm also fairly sure that Isane is the only person to see her with her hair down/her scar showing in canon. She knows all there is to know about Unohana and she knows how she used to be (using more official things as a pretext to fight and kill souls in Rukongai?!) and respects and loves her so much still!

• The moment Isane made vice-captain!
• Anything exploring their vastly different motivations for learning healing
• We know Unohana is in hell after her death - do they meet again, somehow?

scroll to top

Matsumoto Rangiku/Sui-Feng | Soifon
Very much another case of 'I like character A and I like character B so now they should kiss'. Despite the differences in how they carry themselves there's a similarity in their attacks -- Rangiku's ash is as hard to see and to stop as Soifon's everything, and I think there's respect to be built there.

• Joint missions?
• The reports after those missions! Maybe they don't start off well but it turns around!
• Rangiku drinks a lot, could she goad Soifon into joining her?

scroll to top

Nelliel Tu Oderschvank/Sui-Feng | Soifon
'I like character A and I like character B so now they should kiss' part three. They have different attitudes towards it mostly but both of them go for protection - Nel's whole knight motif, Soifon and the Shihouin clan.

• Post canon - do the relations between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo change, since they had a common enemy for once? Nel is one of the most powerful people in Hueco Mundo now, she has a reason to have a front seat in everything
• Onmitsukido mission brings them together somehow.
• Nel goes to the living world for [reasons], Soifon goes to see Yoruichi, they meet?

scroll to top

Saito Furofushi/Unohana Retsu
Yes this is based on one illustration and Furofushi's 3 seconds of non-speaking screentime in the anime :'D

• Them just being happy bloodthirsty criminals <3
• Moments from the first war against the quincies
• Reuniting with each other in hell! Is there history?

Dare Me (TV 2019)

Beth Cassidy/Addy Hanlon

This canon and the book are my loves :D !!! I'm requesting the TV show but I have read the book, so either being the base is fine by me!

I love how deep their relationship goes and I love how they just keep running from their feelings. I love how Beth behaves the way you'd expect the best person in the team to behave, but how Addy is just as much of that "stereotype" and revered by the school population even when she doesn't realise it. I would want absolutely anything with them!

• Their average day spent together pre-that kiss? Or pre-Colette.
• Something where their lack of communication somehow lands them in a happy spot anyway
• Going their different ways for college and then reconnecting?
• Going by show canon - do they dig deeper into the mystery? Does that bring them closer together or farther apart?

I'm fine with fic about/mentioning eating disorders or anything else typical to people whose lives revolve around a sport.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga

Olivier Mira Armstrong/Lust

• What if Lust was supervising the tunnel Sloth was digging? Do they discover her at Briggs?
• Lust not dying when she did and appearing when Roy etc were hiding a whole battalion in the Armstrong place
• Lust pulling the Solaris trick on Olivier - does Olivier pretend to buy it and go along with it? Does she actually buy it? Does she cut it short?
• Olivier-is-an-alchemist AU where she is a sacrifice candidate

Riza Hawkeye/Winry Rockbell

• Sometimes you just meet someone who you know will have an impact on you!
• Pretend married for undercover purposes internationally?
• Riza is in Rush Valley for whatever reason; they grow close
• Riza is in Rush Valley for automail reasons
• Being stuck anywhere north, huddling for warmth
• Fantasy politics time?

Lan Fan/Winry Rockbell

• Fixing/tuning/working on automail! The intimacy of dealing with someone's nerve endings
• Lan Fan not being used to it & still pushing herself too far, Winry helping
• Winry visiting Xing to be her personal mechanic? Is it the new step in her career? Is she just visiting for fun? Lan Fan showing her around

Shingeki no Kyojin | Attack on Titan

For any Ymir ships, please pretend she just never died! I just finished the manga a few months ago, so these are very new to me :D

Yelena/Ymir of the 104th

• Trying to learn about Paradis through Ymir - does Ymir divulge the information willingly or not?
• Would Ymir buy Yelena's story? Would she care enough to?
• A meeting without knowing anything about each other - would the views change once they learn each other's history and reason for being there?

Pieck Finger/Ymir of the 104th

• Bringing Ymir to Marley - scenes from after they've reached or from the way there? Feelings regarding how the titans pass from one shifter to another
• General shifter feelings! What do they have in common, what is different for both of them?
• What if Ymir had also been a shifter from the start, how was she chosen, did she want to be chosen?

Pieck Finger/Yelena
They have such "No, we didn’t date. Technically he wasn’t an ex-boyfriend. But he was an ex-something, an ex-maybe. An ex-almost." energy. Or actual exes energy?

• When did Yelena fully decide on her views? Was Pieck there?
• Actually, anything leaning on the differences in views
• Scenes from Marley, during any time. During missions, them just being out and about, anything
• Anything else!

Pieck Finger/Annie Leonhart

• If I understood correctly, the 13 year window has disappeared after the Rumbling and the events that follow - how do they cope with the sudden fact that their lives will go on for far longer than initially anticipated? (If I've understood wrongly then, uh, just treat this as a canon divergent prompt)
• The crystal never happened AU
• Being captured together?

W.I.T.C.H.

(I'm more familiar with comics canon than cartoon canon)

Cornelia Hale/Irma Lair

• Their different attitudes towards their powers! Irma loving them, Cornelia... not. Conflict!
• Similarly, how careless Irma is with using them sometimes - she has less of an issue doing it purely because she wants to.
• Scenes from that mini teaching magic arc
• Meridian adventures when Cornelia goes to visit Elyon - does Irma just tug along for fun? Was she already there for some reason?

Irma Lair/WIll Vandom

• The responsibility of holding the heart - does Irma help with it?
• Long distance during uni/college?
• Irma is very different from Matt - is Will used to specific mannerisms, is it difficult to get used to a new partner after so long with someone else?
• Slice of life moments!
