FIAB Letter
Aug. 21st, 2025 04:26 pmDear FIAB author!
Hello and thank you for checking out this letter! Whether you’ve been assigned to write for me, are snooping around for possible treats or swaps or are here by mistake having clicked on the wrong link, thank you!
My AO3 is Twilfitt6 if you want to get a better idea of what flavour of freak I am and what I tend to write!

After that I have listed the mediums I have opted-in for (I have not opted-in for any length opt-ins) and my likes and DNWs for each broad category (Art, Audio, Illustrated Text, Unique Rules and Writing) while I have nominated certain mediums for certain fandoms in mind, I am fine with them being applied universally if you wish to create a specific opted-in medium for a different requested fandom.

Solo: Florence Vassy (Chess)
Florence Vassy! My babygirl! If it’s not clear I love her and that means I occasionally want terrible things to happen to her and her to end up alone and crying. She's an icon.
I'm very much a subscriber to interpreting Florence as Jewish and also as a trans woman but also I am very much down for any sort of fan interpretations of her.
Also you can take this prompt as a prompt for gen Florence fic or art that's just centred around her or as an opportunity to write her in / or & relationships not explicitly requested as long as the pairing doesn't go against my DNWs for incest or non-con or my fandom DNW for the Arbiter as a central character.
Anatoly Sergievsky/Florence Vassy (Chess)
To me Anatoly/Florence and Florence & Gregor go hand in hand, these disappearing eastern europeans she bases her life around and is left to pick up the pieces when they inevitably vanish again and I’d love to see them as reflections of each other. Is this something Florence is doing subconsciously or does she recognise her daddy issues?
I really adore this star-crossed lovers aspect to them, their always destined to end up apart and they know this but still they cling desperately to the now and what they have in the present despite the uncertainty of the future.
Florence Vassy & Gregor Vassy (Chess)
To me Anatoly/Florence and Florence & Gregor go hand in hand, these disappearing eastern europeans she bases her life around and is left to pick up the pieces when they inevitably vanish again and I’d love to see them as reflections of each other. Is this something Florence is doing subconsciously or does she recognise her daddy issues?
Also if her relationship with Anatoly is based on her staying transfixed on the present and ignoring the future, her relationship with her dad is about her staying fixated on the past and ignoring the future.
I'm totally down for any interpretation of Gregor, him being dead or alive, having defected to the Russians or been taken prisoner by them, whether Molotov and Walter are telling the truth or even whether Florence is telling the truth to herself (classified documents could be cool for this relationship) also since it's my letter and I can self-promo all I want if your interested in some of my writing about Gregor Vassy and his fate I'm still really proud of this work of mine (do check the tags though, it gets pretty dark)
Frederick Trumper & Florence Vassy (Chess) and Frederick Trumper/Florence Vassy (Chess)
I feel like Florence and Freddie need their own special &/ tag because I don’t know what’s going on there, I don’t know if they know what’s going on there, is it sexual, is it romantic, is it platonic, is it hatred, is it a secret fourth thing. I think if you asked them individually you’d get different answers. Anyway I love them and their messy, undefinable situationship. Also trans woman Florence and trans man Freddie, they deserve to be toxic codependent t4t.
A lot of the newspaper, magazine, tabloid, etc medium tags I selected with Freddie and Florence in mind, Freddie is such a media darling anyway, I’d love to see more of that but really a lot of the medium tags you really can apply to any of them. If you do go for one of the art prompts I’d love to see them in some insane high-fashion 80s looks, I’m a big fan of keeping them period accurate rather than trying to modernise them.
Anatoly Sergievsky/Svetlana Sergievsky/Frederick Trumper/Florence Vassy (Chess)
The foursome tag is just mainly for fun, I have no prompts for that one, go wild.
Fandom Specific DNW:
Czechoslovakian Florence (or Florence originally from anywhere but Hungary)
Freddie’s mental health issues being presented as an excuse for his actions
The Arbiter as a major character or focus
Luther (TV)

This show is my baby and I will keep single-handedly keeping it alive and requesting it for exchanges because I just love this show and these characters too much. So yeah, everyone watch five seasons of this British detective show now so I'm not just screaming into the abyss.
John Luther/Alice Morgan (Luther TV)
Ship of all time. It was these two who actually got me to sign up for an AO3 account in the first place. We love a love language murder former gifted kid and her emotional support overthinking depressed middle aged man. This is the ideal F/M relationship, it's definitely a green flag that they've both been institutionalised. They deserve each other, whether that is a good thing or a punishment is anyone's guess but they do. Anyway I love these freaks.
For a lot of the in-universe tags I was specifically thinking of immediately post-season 1 and how the tabloids and papers would probably have a field day with what's going on, former Oxford University prodigy confesses to four murders including those of a serving police officer, also implicating a human rights lawyer and another police officer in aiding and abetting. And plus the fact that it's obvious to everyone ever that Alice and John have a whole lot of sexual tension which deserves to be resolved with insane evil sex. Also I didn't nominate it but John/Alice/Mark is also definitely thumbs up if your writing in the season 1 to season 2 era of the show.
Mentions of either characters suicide attempts/ self harm is fine for this fandom, as is explicitly interpreting Alice's death as a suicide.
Solo: Alice Morgan (Luther TV)
My blorbo, my darling blorbo, the gloves are off when it comes to her so your free to disregard my DNW for suicide/self-harm and underage sex as well as for non-con (with Alice either as a perpetrator or a victim, either works). This prompt can apply for Alice-centric work and character studies as well as shipping her with any characters other than John. Personally my favourite rare pair for her is Alice/Erin but also going to throw out there Alice/Zoe, Alice/Mark, Alice/Mary, I've even started rotating the idea of Alice/Catherine Halliday and any sort of poly combination you can think of.
So yeah, generally, this is my comfort character, please take her and do whatever you want with her, you have my blessing.

Guess who went completely off the rails in the tags for this fandom? It's me. Of course it's me. I'm not even sure what I had in mind for some of these Medium Opt-In's and relationships but I trust past me and their grand plan, if you can make any sense of these tag walls feel free to create whatever work comes from your divination.
Helena Eagan & Helly R. (Severance) and Helena Eagan/Helly R. (Severance)
Requesting this as & and / because I'm chill with both and also (in fact I encourage) works that skirt the line between the two. I think it's beautiful to have a fucked up relationship with your own self that everyone (including your own dad) thinks is better than you.
So yeah any relationship studies about the two or any way they could manage to have fucked up e-sex with each other. Bonus if there's any weird gender stuff going on, personally a love a bit of trans woman Helena and gender-non-conforming trans fem Helly. Also going to point out here (and for all my Helena noms) I am perfectly comfortable with work containing non-con with Helena as the perpetrator either based on her canonical actions with Mark or anything else.
Helena Eagan & Natalie Kalen (Severance) and Helena Eagan/Natalie Kalen (Severance)
Ok as one of Helenat's top writers I feel obligated to promo them, like yass queen, I love how your only human relationship with someone your own age is with someone your dad pays and who both exists in service to you while you also exist in service to them. There's so much tasty messy power dynamic potential there, I adore them and think they should get to lez out. I also would love to see Natalie possessive over this closeness and sense of trust she has in Helena while Helena sees whatever romantic/sexual relationship they have as casual and easily dismissed.
Or alternatively see their relationship as something else, a friendship, a struggle between the two, simply as coworkers. What's it like to be unsevered employees encouraging and knowing about exactly what goes on in the severed floor? Also the whole theory of them being half-sisters is fine with me for either & or / relationships between them, I'd prefer if it's something either their unaware of or are just discovering but yeah if you want to write them as has-sisters incest in fine in this case.
Also I put in-universe RPF in there with Natalie about Helena in mind, Natalie is canonically all too supportive of the Kiersona's management creates, let her write weird Kier-verse Lumon propaganda self-insert RPF about Helena. It needs to happen.
Natalie Kalen & Seth Milchick (Severance)
At the time of writing this I'm the only author to have written anything tagged around this relationship (it's here if your interested in checking it out, more people should) and that should be changed. They are both really interesting characters in terms of their relationships with identity and community and their place inside of Lumon and Milchick seems so desperately reaching out not just for a friend but for any sort of ally.
I think the connection (or lack of one) between them is really interesting and I think there's a lot that could be explored between within in-universe documents and other assorted mediums.
Solo: Helena Eagan (Severance)
Helena Eagan is so messed up and irredeemable and deeply human searching for some sort of connection in a bureaucratic hellscape, she's the Virgin Mary, she's a slut, she's the sacrificial lamb, she's the sacrificial dagger. Many such paradoxes exist inside of her, please discuss.
Like my other Helena noms I'm comfortable receiving work that discusses or shows non-con with Helena as the aggressor, either against Mark S. or any other character. I'm also fine with past, discussed or implied CSA from her father as long as it's not explicitly shown.
I just feel like there's so much to explore and discuss when it comes to Helena, I could write a FIAB length work right here in the letter about her but I'm going to hold my tongue because if I start I won't shut up. In case you are interested in creating recursive work for this prompt, here's the link to my series of long-form loosely connected Helena-centric fics that I'm most proud of, or even if you want to get a sense of how I tend to interpret and write her.
Solo: Natalie Kalen (Severance)
NATALIE KALEN! Explain her! Ship her! Draw her in a whole bunch of cute workplace fits! I think there should be more Natalie themed work out there in the world, so I give you free rein. Other than Helenat, other Natalie ships I have rotated in my mind include Natalie and Cobel (they hate each other so much they should get to kiss) Natalie and Devon (similar, also Natalie's obviously trying to drive a wedge in Devon's marriage, maybe she should try to seduce Devon instead) plus Natalie and Gabriela/Gaby (there's obviously a history there between them, what is it? could it be gay? please make it gay and morally fucked up to the degree that Gabriela cuts her brain in two in order to avoid being pregnant). Just some ideas but yeah, the Board says "thank you for listening"
WB: Lumon Industries Public Relations and Crisis Management (Severance) and WB: Severance Procedure Legalization & Legislative Battles (Severance)
Hopefully these two are pretty self descriptive but yeah feel free to dive-in to either of these world building topics either alongside the character/ relationship tags or on their own!
Fandom Specific DNW:
MarkHelena as a central focus, it's fine as implied, referenced or background, just not as the central or sole focus of a work (MarkHelly I'm more open to)

Solo: Siobhan "Shiv" Roy (Succession)
I believe everyone intrinsically has a Roy sibling who they believe is the only defendable character in a sea of savages, and for me that is Shiv. She is my eldest boy, in my heart. (If you trans masc her for me I will give you a thousand kisses and a puppy)
So yeah, I'd say I'm normal about Shiv. This prompt is sort of for any sort of Shiv-centric fic, or to ship her with anyone not specified, like as long as she's the focus she can sleep with anyone* (I'm cool with Roy sibling incest or stepcest with Marcia, just no intergenerational incest) Shiv deserves to fuck about after all that.
Also Shiv character study, Shiv childhood, Shiv all of the things, Shiv multi-media shrine, Shiv finding herself repeating her fathers own mistakes and sins with her own child, doomed to forever repeat the cycle and learn nothing. Also Shiv's canonical pregnancy is an exception to my usual pregnancy DNW as long as it's not the key focus.
Solo: Willa Ferreyra (Succession)
Willa is best girl, she is living her best life putting on terrible plays, making Connor go bankrupt and serving in clothes so beautiful they honestly once made me consider detransitioning. Do be careful if you pick costume design for this one, if it's too good I might just have to alter my identity for it (/j)
Anyway, we all know she'd have an incredible social media presence, show us it, we deserve to added to Willa's close friends story and see her side of all this nonsense rich guy business stuff going on around her. Also some of the newspaper/ magazine stuff I opted-in for is sort of generally for everyone but I'd love to see Willa doing promo for Sands in various Waystar RoyCo owned papers Connor's managed to get her a feature in, let her wear pretty dresses and talk about her terrible play!
I do have a soft spot for ConWilla and explorations of their clearly transactional relationship and eventual marriage but other than Connor if you choose to write shipfic for her I'd refer for it to be with another woman whether Shiv or Tabitha or another female character or even an OC. In terms of Willa's canonical background in sex work, I'm fine with canon-typical jibes or sarcastic comments coming from characters but I don't want to narrative to specifically treat Willa as bad or morally reprehensible for being a sex worker.
Siobhan "Shiv" Roy/Tom Wambsgans (Succession)
The failmarriage! They should Shivorce, we all know that, but show me their relationship breaking down, show me them spiralling into oblivion as they each become just reflections of Logan and Waystar RoyCo, or perhaps they don't Shivorce and instead go to Shi-relationship counselling (doesn't work as well, I'm sorry). But yeah show me tabloids of their relationship breakdown and Shiv's inevitable extramarital affairs! Show me the sordid ending their destined for or perhaps show me them giving up and drifting into domestic mundanity!
Lukas Matsson/Siobhan "Shiv" Roy & Tom Wambsgans (Succession)
I did not nominate this one it something in it just tickled my id as a verified divorce and cheating enjoyer. Yes! Let Tom sit in the cuck chair as he watches his wife fuck his boss, or even worse leave him stuck outside as his boss starts making a move on his wife and he's impotent and emasculated and forced to just watch it happen as Shiv and Matsson get together. Yeah, this is just a big brain tag I wish I would take credit for, any sort of interpretation of it I'd be down for.
Fandom DNW:
Shiv's pregnancy as a central focus, her being pregnant or it being discussed or referenced is fine as long as it's not a key part of the narrative
Intergenerational Roycest (Kendall/Shiv is fine, Logan/Shiv is not)
Sex work disrespected or treated as morally reprehensible by the narrative
Mission: Impossible (Movies)
Medium Opt-In: Art - Character Possessions, Medium Opt-In: Art - Conspiracy Board, Medium Opt-In: Art - In-Universe Propaganda Poster, Medium Opt-In: Audio - Podfic, Medium Opt-In: Illustrated Text (Art & Writing) - Illustrated Fic, Medium Opt-In: Illustrated Text (Art & Writing) - In-Universe Mission Report,Medium Opt-In: Unique Rules - Cross Stitch Pattern, Medium Opt-In: Unique Rules - In-Universe Spreadsheet - Expense Report, Medium Opt-In: Unique Rules - Interactive Fiction - AO3-style Choose Your Own Adventure, Medium Opt-In: Unique Rules - Interactive Fiction - Choice-Based IF Not Hosted On AO3, Medium Opt-In: Writing - In-Universe Classified Documents, Medium Opt-In: Writing - In-Universe Mission Report, Medium Opt-In: Writing - Meta
I thought I went off the rails with the Severance tags, turns out I was saving it for the Mission: Impossible request so yeah, over the last six months this action movie franchise has drilled into my brain and replaced all my pretentious literary interests, now there is only Tom Cruise falling off a cliff in a burning helicopter.
Solo: Ilsa Faust (Mission: Impossible)
Ok, I lied, my brain is not full of Tom Cruise falling off a cliff in a burning helicopter, it's Rebecca Ferguson in a yellow dress at the Vienna State Opera's performance of Turandot. I am an Ilsa Faust fan first an a human being second, in fact at this moment I am considering putting this letter on hold to make sure my dreamwidth has an Ilsa icon attached to it. So yeah basically every relationship I've nominated for this has Ilsa in and if it hasn't she's probably there in spirit, haunting them.
For this and all my other Ilsa-centric requests I am open to either MCD with Ilsa's canonical death or fix-it fic where she doesn't die (alongside anything set prior to Dead Reckoning as well to avoid that) I'm not really interested in any romantic/sexual ships beyond background mentions featuring Ilsa apart from the ones listed below (there's a lot of them, I'm sure there's something there for you) but if you want to write Ilsa but not any of those ships I'm also cool with gen work just focused around her.
Benji Dunn/Ilsa Faust/Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible)
Throuples who go on impossible missions together, stay together. It's more than canon, it's true in my heart and that's the most important thing. I'm cool with any sort of poly between the three, I'm personally fond of V-shaped poly with Ethan at the centre but I'm down for anything. Also super down for Luther generally being there in the background third-wheeling (or fourth wheeling which doesn't feel quite right) in a cool fedora with some well-timed one-liners.
Also just to explain my DNW for explicit M/M I'm fine for Ethan and Benji to fuck or be in sexual situations together as long as Ilsa's generally also there or at least in the vicinity. (Going to put that as a caveat to all my requests regardless of fandom, guys can have sex as long as Ilsa Faust from Mission: Impossible is in the room, she has to give her approval for gay sex to be allowed to happen.)
For these three I'd love to see something fun and fluffy and stupid and domestic or maybe some angst and grieving and serious injury or maybe some canon-typical case fic and an adventure, actually I really just want anything is what I guess I'm saying. And also because it's not Twilfitt's Mission: Impossible request without it, consider making them trans, either just one of them (dealer's choice of who or what gender identity) or all three in a fun t4t4t threesome.
Ilsa Faust/Alanna Mitsopolis (Mission: Impossible)
The Alanna prompt is above the Ethan prompt because Alanna tops and Ethan doesn't. That's it. That's the prompt. Seriously, I don't normally care too much about specific top/bottom or dom/sub head canons for pairings but I keep writing Alanna as stone top and possibly ace and I'm far too invested in that now, that's not an essential just an idea.
Yeah, I really like these two together, especially the concept of Alanna not being sure if she wants Ilsa dead or wants her in her bed (it can be both). They deserve to lez out and have weird power struggle dom/dom sweaty rough sex. Also I'm chill with background Ilsa/Ethan and Alanna/Ethan (whether she knows who he is or not, up to you) Alanna gets to be a depraved bisexual villain, I give her permission, she can want lots of things, and as a spoilt nepotism baby she's used to getting what she wants.
Ilsa Faust/Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible)
Was going to call them the only heterosexual couple of all time but I think I've already given that title to a ship earlier in the letter and also I've written Ethan as a trans woman a few too many times to claim that (and Ilsa's bi, that's a universal constant alright). This one might be quite short because basically I'm pretty bulletproof about these two, I'm down for anything that doesn't hit my DNWs.
One thing I will prompt for is transing their genders, let them be trans lesbians, or the ideal beautiful ethereal doll and short king tboi combo they have the potential to be. Or you can let them be straight people and they can do straight people things like golf (?) or penetrative sex and pick out curtains for the safe house their staying in for less than 24 hours and pretending to be a regular everyday couple.
Ilsa Faust/Julia Meade (Mission: Impossible) and Ilsa Faust/Ethan Hunt/Julia Meade (Mission: Impossible)
Do not let having a wife stop you from going out and finding the one! Fallout is an important story about how if you have two bad bitches waiting for you then you can survive a helicopter crash. The only reason Ethan doesn't immediately hook up with both Julia and Ilsa at the end of the film is because he's probably broken every bone in his body and it's not medically recommended to have a threesome while on bed rest, but that doesn't mean he can't encourage Ilsa and Julia to do challengers level stuff (Ilsa needs no encouragement, look at her, sports bi right there.)
Alternatively, Ilsa and Julia collectively decide, fuck that guy and drive off into the sunset together. They get to be happy and scissor and no one dies.
Also I know Julia does have a husband in Fallout but no one cares about Erik, I don't, he can die, Lane sets off a bomb that kills only him, or they can divorce, or maybe he's really in to getting cucked anyway so it's a win-win. A wonderful image just came to me of three months after the film ends Erik organises a very awkward dinner party for him, Julia, Ethan and Ilsa which ends up his everyone hooking up except for him and no one appreciating the time he spent preparing dessert.
I know I'm specifically throwing out a lot of post-Fallout related prompts for these two relationships but if you fancy writing anything before or after that I'm chill with that too.
Ilsa Faust/Grace (Mission: Impossible) and Ilsa Faust/Grace/Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible)
Gabriel had to kill either Ilsa or Grace because he could see their sapphic potential was enough to single handedly destroy the Entity, Christopher McQuarrie told me this personally, they were just too powerful. Plus anytime a narrative forces the male hero to choose between two female characters it's deeply polyphobic and they should instead have a threeway.
Grace/Ethan disgusts me (the greed, he has too many beautiful women, it's sickening (/lh I love my little slut Ethan Hunt)) but Ilsa/Grace/Ethan, now that I can get behind.
But yeah, Ilsa lives AU where she takes Grace under her wing and teach her to be an awesome IMF agent and like all healthy mentor relationships they also kiss sometimes. Or alternatively if your a fan of terrible things happening, brief one night stand between the two of them and now this Gabriel guy is saying one of them going to die and suddenly Ilsa's dead and Grace is left to try and deal with that and not quite sure when the right time to tell Ethan is that she's been screwing his dead girlfriend as well. Again, going to reinforce I am a fan of infidelity, give me the drama and complications and miscommunications (or an open relationship and poly dynamics are also cool)
Ilsa Faust/Paris the Assassin (Mission: Impossible)
I wrote this pairing twice for battleship and now it's weasled into my brain, it's stuck there now. I love the idea of these hyper competent morally dubious women getting to eat each other out and try to kill each other (maybe not at the same time). I can't really see how it could ever work out in the long term as a serious relationship but if you can see what I can't, then go and write it, tell me how they should get gay married and adopt several daschunds or whatever you feel about this ship.
Grace/Paris the Assassin (Mission: Impossible)
This was how Final Reckoning ended right? They got to lez out in a beautiful display of Anglo-French camaraderie? No, well maybe they should, it is the obvious move. The work wives to real wives pipeline is real and they should go down it even if Paris doesn't speak English and that certainly isn't her real name. This is basically my only non-Ilsa request and it'll probably be one of the shorter ones but don't let that put you off! I love and appreciate all Mission: Impossible femslash equally!
WB: Any
Remembered last minute I should probably drop in a worldbuilding request so if my potential writer does want to create me the IMF expense report of my dreams they don't have to figure out a way to make it clear lesbian sex is going on as well. But yeah if you can manage to drop a sex scene into an expense report then go you, that would be awesome.
Yeah so I just can't stop thinking about the logistics of anything to do with the Impossible Mission Force, how do they get all that transport, how do they insure all that kit, when do they have time to pack all those cool clothes, and most importantly, what does their expense report spreadsheet look like. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create that spreadsheet of my dreams.
Hello and thank you for checking out this letter! Whether you’ve been assigned to write for me, are snooping around for possible treats or swaps or are here by mistake having clicked on the wrong link, thank you!
My AO3 is Twilfitt6 if you want to get a better idea of what flavour of freak I am and what I tend to write!

Solo: Florence Vassy (Chess)
Florence Vassy! My babygirl! If it’s not clear I love her and that means I occasionally want terrible things to happen to her and her to end up alone and crying. She's an icon.
I'm very much a subscriber to interpreting Florence as Jewish and also as a trans woman but also I am very much down for any sort of fan interpretations of her.
Also you can take this prompt as a prompt for gen Florence fic or art that's just centred around her or as an opportunity to write her in / or & relationships not explicitly requested as long as the pairing doesn't go against my DNWs for incest or non-con or my fandom DNW for the Arbiter as a central character.
Anatoly Sergievsky/Florence Vassy (Chess)
To me Anatoly/Florence and Florence & Gregor go hand in hand, these disappearing eastern europeans she bases her life around and is left to pick up the pieces when they inevitably vanish again and I’d love to see them as reflections of each other. Is this something Florence is doing subconsciously or does she recognise her daddy issues?
I really adore this star-crossed lovers aspect to them, their always destined to end up apart and they know this but still they cling desperately to the now and what they have in the present despite the uncertainty of the future.
Florence Vassy & Gregor Vassy (Chess)
To me Anatoly/Florence and Florence & Gregor go hand in hand, these disappearing eastern europeans she bases her life around and is left to pick up the pieces when they inevitably vanish again and I’d love to see them as reflections of each other. Is this something Florence is doing subconsciously or does she recognise her daddy issues?
Also if her relationship with Anatoly is based on her staying transfixed on the present and ignoring the future, her relationship with her dad is about her staying fixated on the past and ignoring the future.
I'm totally down for any interpretation of Gregor, him being dead or alive, having defected to the Russians or been taken prisoner by them, whether Molotov and Walter are telling the truth or even whether Florence is telling the truth to herself (classified documents could be cool for this relationship) also since it's my letter and I can self-promo all I want if your interested in some of my writing about Gregor Vassy and his fate I'm still really proud of this work of mine (do check the tags though, it gets pretty dark)
Frederick Trumper & Florence Vassy (Chess) and Frederick Trumper/Florence Vassy (Chess)
I feel like Florence and Freddie need their own special &/ tag because I don’t know what’s going on there, I don’t know if they know what’s going on there, is it sexual, is it romantic, is it platonic, is it hatred, is it a secret fourth thing. I think if you asked them individually you’d get different answers. Anyway I love them and their messy, undefinable situationship. Also trans woman Florence and trans man Freddie, they deserve to be toxic codependent t4t.
A lot of the newspaper, magazine, tabloid, etc medium tags I selected with Freddie and Florence in mind, Freddie is such a media darling anyway, I’d love to see more of that but really a lot of the medium tags you really can apply to any of them. If you do go for one of the art prompts I’d love to see them in some insane high-fashion 80s looks, I’m a big fan of keeping them period accurate rather than trying to modernise them.
Anatoly Sergievsky/Svetlana Sergievsky/Frederick Trumper/Florence Vassy (Chess)
The foursome tag is just mainly for fun, I have no prompts for that one, go wild.
Fandom Specific DNW:
Czechoslovakian Florence (or Florence originally from anywhere but Hungary)
Freddie’s mental health issues being presented as an excuse for his actions
The Arbiter as a major character or focus
Luther (TV)

This show is my baby and I will keep single-handedly keeping it alive and requesting it for exchanges because I just love this show and these characters too much. So yeah, everyone watch five seasons of this British detective show now so I'm not just screaming into the abyss.
John Luther/Alice Morgan (Luther TV)
Ship of all time. It was these two who actually got me to sign up for an AO3 account in the first place. We love a love language murder former gifted kid and her emotional support overthinking depressed middle aged man. This is the ideal F/M relationship, it's definitely a green flag that they've both been institutionalised. They deserve each other, whether that is a good thing or a punishment is anyone's guess but they do. Anyway I love these freaks.
For a lot of the in-universe tags I was specifically thinking of immediately post-season 1 and how the tabloids and papers would probably have a field day with what's going on, former Oxford University prodigy confesses to four murders including those of a serving police officer, also implicating a human rights lawyer and another police officer in aiding and abetting. And plus the fact that it's obvious to everyone ever that Alice and John have a whole lot of sexual tension which deserves to be resolved with insane evil sex. Also I didn't nominate it but John/Alice/Mark is also definitely thumbs up if your writing in the season 1 to season 2 era of the show.
Mentions of either characters suicide attempts/ self harm is fine for this fandom, as is explicitly interpreting Alice's death as a suicide.
Solo: Alice Morgan (Luther TV)
My blorbo, my darling blorbo, the gloves are off when it comes to her so your free to disregard my DNW for suicide/self-harm and underage sex as well as for non-con (with Alice either as a perpetrator or a victim, either works). This prompt can apply for Alice-centric work and character studies as well as shipping her with any characters other than John. Personally my favourite rare pair for her is Alice/Erin but also going to throw out there Alice/Zoe, Alice/Mark, Alice/Mary, I've even started rotating the idea of Alice/Catherine Halliday and any sort of poly combination you can think of.
So yeah, generally, this is my comfort character, please take her and do whatever you want with her, you have my blessing.

Guess who went completely off the rails in the tags for this fandom? It's me. Of course it's me. I'm not even sure what I had in mind for some of these Medium Opt-In's and relationships but I trust past me and their grand plan, if you can make any sense of these tag walls feel free to create whatever work comes from your divination.
Helena Eagan & Helly R. (Severance) and Helena Eagan/Helly R. (Severance)
Requesting this as & and / because I'm chill with both and also (in fact I encourage) works that skirt the line between the two. I think it's beautiful to have a fucked up relationship with your own self that everyone (including your own dad) thinks is better than you.
So yeah any relationship studies about the two or any way they could manage to have fucked up e-sex with each other. Bonus if there's any weird gender stuff going on, personally a love a bit of trans woman Helena and gender-non-conforming trans fem Helly. Also going to point out here (and for all my Helena noms) I am perfectly comfortable with work containing non-con with Helena as the perpetrator either based on her canonical actions with Mark or anything else.
Helena Eagan & Natalie Kalen (Severance) and Helena Eagan/Natalie Kalen (Severance)
Ok as one of Helenat's top writers I feel obligated to promo them, like yass queen, I love how your only human relationship with someone your own age is with someone your dad pays and who both exists in service to you while you also exist in service to them. There's so much tasty messy power dynamic potential there, I adore them and think they should get to lez out. I also would love to see Natalie possessive over this closeness and sense of trust she has in Helena while Helena sees whatever romantic/sexual relationship they have as casual and easily dismissed.
Or alternatively see their relationship as something else, a friendship, a struggle between the two, simply as coworkers. What's it like to be unsevered employees encouraging and knowing about exactly what goes on in the severed floor? Also the whole theory of them being half-sisters is fine with me for either & or / relationships between them, I'd prefer if it's something either their unaware of or are just discovering but yeah if you want to write them as has-sisters incest in fine in this case.
Also I put in-universe RPF in there with Natalie about Helena in mind, Natalie is canonically all too supportive of the Kiersona's management creates, let her write weird Kier-verse Lumon propaganda self-insert RPF about Helena. It needs to happen.
Natalie Kalen & Seth Milchick (Severance)
At the time of writing this I'm the only author to have written anything tagged around this relationship (it's here if your interested in checking it out, more people should) and that should be changed. They are both really interesting characters in terms of their relationships with identity and community and their place inside of Lumon and Milchick seems so desperately reaching out not just for a friend but for any sort of ally.
I think the connection (or lack of one) between them is really interesting and I think there's a lot that could be explored between within in-universe documents and other assorted mediums.
Solo: Helena Eagan (Severance)
Helena Eagan is so messed up and irredeemable and deeply human searching for some sort of connection in a bureaucratic hellscape, she's the Virgin Mary, she's a slut, she's the sacrificial lamb, she's the sacrificial dagger. Many such paradoxes exist inside of her, please discuss.
Like my other Helena noms I'm comfortable receiving work that discusses or shows non-con with Helena as the aggressor, either against Mark S. or any other character. I'm also fine with past, discussed or implied CSA from her father as long as it's not explicitly shown.
I just feel like there's so much to explore and discuss when it comes to Helena, I could write a FIAB length work right here in the letter about her but I'm going to hold my tongue because if I start I won't shut up. In case you are interested in creating recursive work for this prompt, here's the link to my series of long-form loosely connected Helena-centric fics that I'm most proud of, or even if you want to get a sense of how I tend to interpret and write her.
Solo: Natalie Kalen (Severance)
NATALIE KALEN! Explain her! Ship her! Draw her in a whole bunch of cute workplace fits! I think there should be more Natalie themed work out there in the world, so I give you free rein. Other than Helenat, other Natalie ships I have rotated in my mind include Natalie and Cobel (they hate each other so much they should get to kiss) Natalie and Devon (similar, also Natalie's obviously trying to drive a wedge in Devon's marriage, maybe she should try to seduce Devon instead) plus Natalie and Gabriela/Gaby (there's obviously a history there between them, what is it? could it be gay? please make it gay and morally fucked up to the degree that Gabriela cuts her brain in two in order to avoid being pregnant). Just some ideas but yeah, the Board says "thank you for listening"
WB: Lumon Industries Public Relations and Crisis Management (Severance) and WB: Severance Procedure Legalization & Legislative Battles (Severance)
Hopefully these two are pretty self descriptive but yeah feel free to dive-in to either of these world building topics either alongside the character/ relationship tags or on their own!
Fandom Specific DNW:
MarkHelena as a central focus, it's fine as implied, referenced or background, just not as the central or sole focus of a work (MarkHelly I'm more open to)

Solo: Siobhan "Shiv" Roy (Succession)
I believe everyone intrinsically has a Roy sibling who they believe is the only defendable character in a sea of savages, and for me that is Shiv. She is my eldest boy, in my heart. (If you trans masc her for me I will give you a thousand kisses and a puppy)
So yeah, I'd say I'm normal about Shiv. This prompt is sort of for any sort of Shiv-centric fic, or to ship her with anyone not specified, like as long as she's the focus she can sleep with anyone* (I'm cool with Roy sibling incest or stepcest with Marcia, just no intergenerational incest) Shiv deserves to fuck about after all that.
Also Shiv character study, Shiv childhood, Shiv all of the things, Shiv multi-media shrine, Shiv finding herself repeating her fathers own mistakes and sins with her own child, doomed to forever repeat the cycle and learn nothing. Also Shiv's canonical pregnancy is an exception to my usual pregnancy DNW as long as it's not the key focus.
Solo: Willa Ferreyra (Succession)
Willa is best girl, she is living her best life putting on terrible plays, making Connor go bankrupt and serving in clothes so beautiful they honestly once made me consider detransitioning. Do be careful if you pick costume design for this one, if it's too good I might just have to alter my identity for it (/j)
Anyway, we all know she'd have an incredible social media presence, show us it, we deserve to added to Willa's close friends story and see her side of all this nonsense rich guy business stuff going on around her. Also some of the newspaper/ magazine stuff I opted-in for is sort of generally for everyone but I'd love to see Willa doing promo for Sands in various Waystar RoyCo owned papers Connor's managed to get her a feature in, let her wear pretty dresses and talk about her terrible play!
I do have a soft spot for ConWilla and explorations of their clearly transactional relationship and eventual marriage but other than Connor if you choose to write shipfic for her I'd refer for it to be with another woman whether Shiv or Tabitha or another female character or even an OC. In terms of Willa's canonical background in sex work, I'm fine with canon-typical jibes or sarcastic comments coming from characters but I don't want to narrative to specifically treat Willa as bad or morally reprehensible for being a sex worker.
Siobhan "Shiv" Roy/Tom Wambsgans (Succession)
The failmarriage! They should Shivorce, we all know that, but show me their relationship breaking down, show me them spiralling into oblivion as they each become just reflections of Logan and Waystar RoyCo, or perhaps they don't Shivorce and instead go to Shi-relationship counselling (doesn't work as well, I'm sorry). But yeah show me tabloids of their relationship breakdown and Shiv's inevitable extramarital affairs! Show me the sordid ending their destined for or perhaps show me them giving up and drifting into domestic mundanity!
Lukas Matsson/Siobhan "Shiv" Roy & Tom Wambsgans (Succession)
I did not nominate this one it something in it just tickled my id as a verified divorce and cheating enjoyer. Yes! Let Tom sit in the cuck chair as he watches his wife fuck his boss, or even worse leave him stuck outside as his boss starts making a move on his wife and he's impotent and emasculated and forced to just watch it happen as Shiv and Matsson get together. Yeah, this is just a big brain tag I wish I would take credit for, any sort of interpretation of it I'd be down for.
Fandom DNW:
Shiv's pregnancy as a central focus, her being pregnant or it being discussed or referenced is fine as long as it's not a key part of the narrative
Intergenerational Roycest (Kendall/Shiv is fine, Logan/Shiv is not)
Sex work disrespected or treated as morally reprehensible by the narrative

I thought I went off the rails with the Severance tags, turns out I was saving it for the Mission: Impossible request so yeah, over the last six months this action movie franchise has drilled into my brain and replaced all my pretentious literary interests, now there is only Tom Cruise falling off a cliff in a burning helicopter.
Solo: Ilsa Faust (Mission: Impossible)
Ok, I lied, my brain is not full of Tom Cruise falling off a cliff in a burning helicopter, it's Rebecca Ferguson in a yellow dress at the Vienna State Opera's performance of Turandot. I am an Ilsa Faust fan first an a human being second, in fact at this moment I am considering putting this letter on hold to make sure my dreamwidth has an Ilsa icon attached to it. So yeah basically every relationship I've nominated for this has Ilsa in and if it hasn't she's probably there in spirit, haunting them.
For this and all my other Ilsa-centric requests I am open to either MCD with Ilsa's canonical death or fix-it fic where she doesn't die (alongside anything set prior to Dead Reckoning as well to avoid that) I'm not really interested in any romantic/sexual ships beyond background mentions featuring Ilsa apart from the ones listed below (there's a lot of them, I'm sure there's something there for you) but if you want to write Ilsa but not any of those ships I'm also cool with gen work just focused around her.
Benji Dunn/Ilsa Faust/Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible)
Throuples who go on impossible missions together, stay together. It's more than canon, it's true in my heart and that's the most important thing. I'm cool with any sort of poly between the three, I'm personally fond of V-shaped poly with Ethan at the centre but I'm down for anything. Also super down for Luther generally being there in the background third-wheeling (or fourth wheeling which doesn't feel quite right) in a cool fedora with some well-timed one-liners.
Also just to explain my DNW for explicit M/M I'm fine for Ethan and Benji to fuck or be in sexual situations together as long as Ilsa's generally also there or at least in the vicinity. (Going to put that as a caveat to all my requests regardless of fandom, guys can have sex as long as Ilsa Faust from Mission: Impossible is in the room, she has to give her approval for gay sex to be allowed to happen.)
For these three I'd love to see something fun and fluffy and stupid and domestic or maybe some angst and grieving and serious injury or maybe some canon-typical case fic and an adventure, actually I really just want anything is what I guess I'm saying. And also because it's not Twilfitt's Mission: Impossible request without it, consider making them trans, either just one of them (dealer's choice of who or what gender identity) or all three in a fun t4t4t threesome.
Ilsa Faust/Alanna Mitsopolis (Mission: Impossible)
The Alanna prompt is above the Ethan prompt because Alanna tops and Ethan doesn't. That's it. That's the prompt. Seriously, I don't normally care too much about specific top/bottom or dom/sub head canons for pairings but I keep writing Alanna as stone top and possibly ace and I'm far too invested in that now, that's not an essential just an idea.
Yeah, I really like these two together, especially the concept of Alanna not being sure if she wants Ilsa dead or wants her in her bed (it can be both). They deserve to lez out and have weird power struggle dom/dom sweaty rough sex. Also I'm chill with background Ilsa/Ethan and Alanna/Ethan (whether she knows who he is or not, up to you) Alanna gets to be a depraved bisexual villain, I give her permission, she can want lots of things, and as a spoilt nepotism baby she's used to getting what she wants.
Ilsa Faust/Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible)
Was going to call them the only heterosexual couple of all time but I think I've already given that title to a ship earlier in the letter and also I've written Ethan as a trans woman a few too many times to claim that (and Ilsa's bi, that's a universal constant alright). This one might be quite short because basically I'm pretty bulletproof about these two, I'm down for anything that doesn't hit my DNWs.
One thing I will prompt for is transing their genders, let them be trans lesbians, or the ideal beautiful ethereal doll and short king tboi combo they have the potential to be. Or you can let them be straight people and they can do straight people things like golf (?) or penetrative sex and pick out curtains for the safe house their staying in for less than 24 hours and pretending to be a regular everyday couple.
Ilsa Faust/Julia Meade (Mission: Impossible) and Ilsa Faust/Ethan Hunt/Julia Meade (Mission: Impossible)
Do not let having a wife stop you from going out and finding the one! Fallout is an important story about how if you have two bad bitches waiting for you then you can survive a helicopter crash. The only reason Ethan doesn't immediately hook up with both Julia and Ilsa at the end of the film is because he's probably broken every bone in his body and it's not medically recommended to have a threesome while on bed rest, but that doesn't mean he can't encourage Ilsa and Julia to do challengers level stuff (Ilsa needs no encouragement, look at her, sports bi right there.)
Alternatively, Ilsa and Julia collectively decide, fuck that guy and drive off into the sunset together. They get to be happy and scissor and no one dies.
Also I know Julia does have a husband in Fallout but no one cares about Erik, I don't, he can die, Lane sets off a bomb that kills only him, or they can divorce, or maybe he's really in to getting cucked anyway so it's a win-win. A wonderful image just came to me of three months after the film ends Erik organises a very awkward dinner party for him, Julia, Ethan and Ilsa which ends up his everyone hooking up except for him and no one appreciating the time he spent preparing dessert.
I know I'm specifically throwing out a lot of post-Fallout related prompts for these two relationships but if you fancy writing anything before or after that I'm chill with that too.
Ilsa Faust/Grace (Mission: Impossible) and Ilsa Faust/Grace/Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible)
Gabriel had to kill either Ilsa or Grace because he could see their sapphic potential was enough to single handedly destroy the Entity, Christopher McQuarrie told me this personally, they were just too powerful. Plus anytime a narrative forces the male hero to choose between two female characters it's deeply polyphobic and they should instead have a threeway.
Grace/Ethan disgusts me (the greed, he has too many beautiful women, it's sickening (/lh I love my little slut Ethan Hunt)) but Ilsa/Grace/Ethan, now that I can get behind.
But yeah, Ilsa lives AU where she takes Grace under her wing and teach her to be an awesome IMF agent and like all healthy mentor relationships they also kiss sometimes. Or alternatively if your a fan of terrible things happening, brief one night stand between the two of them and now this Gabriel guy is saying one of them going to die and suddenly Ilsa's dead and Grace is left to try and deal with that and not quite sure when the right time to tell Ethan is that she's been screwing his dead girlfriend as well. Again, going to reinforce I am a fan of infidelity, give me the drama and complications and miscommunications (or an open relationship and poly dynamics are also cool)
Ilsa Faust/Paris the Assassin (Mission: Impossible)
I wrote this pairing twice for battleship and now it's weasled into my brain, it's stuck there now. I love the idea of these hyper competent morally dubious women getting to eat each other out and try to kill each other (maybe not at the same time). I can't really see how it could ever work out in the long term as a serious relationship but if you can see what I can't, then go and write it, tell me how they should get gay married and adopt several daschunds or whatever you feel about this ship.
Grace/Paris the Assassin (Mission: Impossible)
This was how Final Reckoning ended right? They got to lez out in a beautiful display of Anglo-French camaraderie? No, well maybe they should, it is the obvious move. The work wives to real wives pipeline is real and they should go down it even if Paris doesn't speak English and that certainly isn't her real name. This is basically my only non-Ilsa request and it'll probably be one of the shorter ones but don't let that put you off! I love and appreciate all Mission: Impossible femslash equally!
WB: Any
Remembered last minute I should probably drop in a worldbuilding request so if my potential writer does want to create me the IMF expense report of my dreams they don't have to figure out a way to make it clear lesbian sex is going on as well. But yeah if you can manage to drop a sex scene into an expense report then go you, that would be awesome.
Yeah so I just can't stop thinking about the logistics of anything to do with the Impossible Mission Force, how do they get all that transport, how do they insure all that kit, when do they have time to pack all those cool clothes, and most importantly, what does their expense report spreadsheet look like. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create that spreadsheet of my dreams.
