This fivesome is my guilty pleasure in any combinations. I have some prompts or specific scenarios for them, but I&apos;m also really happy to see anything else you can think of.&amp;nbsp;I would love to see what other people come up with for my faves, so please don&apos;t think I only want to receive these specific prompts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note for Toby/Simon: My take here is that they are two adults, and despite Simon&apos;s wishes he never got to raise her, so it wouldn&apos;t be especially weird for them to start a romance. That being said, feel free to reference their legal relationship as an awkward point that they work through (it&apos;s not more awkward than the fish thing, right?), or, you know, feel free to include Daddy kink where they&apos;re actually kind if into it. Anything works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toby/Dianda/Patrick: My main headcanon for these three is a scenario where after One Salt Sea (and before getting together with Tybalt) Toby ends up hooking up with Dianda and Patrick to distract herself from Connor&apos;s death. I would love Toby POV for this (at least partially), as she is introduced to both being with a woman and being in a threesome, with a pair of caring, beautiful purebloods who are very much into her. For fanart, I would absolutely adore the three of them together with Dianda&apos;s scales and Dianda and Patrick embracing Toby from both sides (make it NSFW&amp;nbsp;or not, up to you).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toby/Simon/Tybalt: So, a side headcanon here is that Simon and Tybalt had a fling when they were young in London - take it or leave it. As for the threesome, I can see at least two ways for it to happen. Either Toby and Tybalt get together as in canon, then Toby gets to know Simon in TBF, develops feelings, talks to&amp;nbsp;Tybalt about it and they end up getting together after AKF once Simon is back... or an AU scenario where Toby meets Simon first, maybe in Late Eclipses around the time when Oleander dies. I have several scenarios where Simon is assigned by the Queen to Countess&amp;nbsp;Daye as an extra punishment, so feel free to use that.&amp;nbsp;The two of them end up falling in love, Toby falls for Simon&apos;s gentleness and helps him process his trauma, etc.&amp;nbsp;Meanwhile Tybalt, who is into both of them, is very jealously circling them and being snarky with both of them to hide how he totally wants to get in on that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Toby/Tybalt/Dianda/Patrick/Simon:&amp;nbsp;The most obvious scenario for this is if you follow canon up to AKF, and then have the two separate couples/triads realize that they&apos;re totally into each other. Go wild with how that happens, I just love all of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that I didn&apos;t request Patrick/Simon/Dianda separately because I&apos;d like some focus on my rarer faves, but I still adore them, so feel free to include them anywhere as a side ship or give them romantic interactions. Simon/Dianda affection and romance is especially welcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;FANART&amp;nbsp;LIKES: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;bright colors, especially for the Daoine and for mermaid tails&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;cuddle piles, cuddling, touches, forehead kisses, seriously any kind of touch or hugs or whatever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;elaborate/decorated/pretty outfits (put Simon in any kind of fancy decorated vest and I&apos;m yours)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Tybalt in cat form or Dianda in mermaid form are always good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;if  you have ideas for designs for their future kids, go for it!&amp;nbsp;I would  love to see what a Simon/Toby, Patrick/Toby, or Dianda/Simon kid would  look like.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;depicting  Simon&apos;s scars are fine - in fact, if you don&apos;t want to draw them at all,  then please have him keep his shirt on or something instead of erasing  the scars. (for non-Patreon peeps:&amp;nbsp;Simon canonically has scars on his  upper body from Oleander&apos;s torture.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;including  scars for any of the other characters is also fine and welcome - Dianda  and Patrick live Undersea, Tybalt is Cait Sidhe, and Toby also has some  iron scars from when she couldn&apos;t heal as well, so I would love to see  the little signs of that. this is optional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;for color palettes, I love purples and blues - would love to see a bisexual flag color palette with any of the ships, for example.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;for&amp;nbsp;NSFW:  explicit genitals are fine, visible cum is fine and welcome. boobs are  very very nice. also, if you want to include the non-sea fae being  fucked by tentacles as part of kinky Undersea sex, who am I to stop you?  strap-ons are great, specifically Dianda pegging Toby or Patrick or  Simon. also feel free to go crazy with the strap-on&apos;s design, like, idk,  is it a weird mermaid penis or tentacle-shaped or something?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;FANART&amp;nbsp;DNW:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;visible injury or blood&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Mass Effect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Kaidan Alenko/Female Shepard/Garrus Vakarian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;I adore the dynamic between the three of them - being together from the beginning, going through all that stuff, living through the war together. I&apos;m up for anything here - battle triad, or domesticity after the war as they are trying to accept peace... or maybe the war is over but it&apos;s never really over and now they have to deal with other shit. Could be serious, or could be Citadel&amp;nbsp;DLC-type shenanigans and slice of life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Feel free to write about how they got together. Maybe they all became a triad in ME1, or maybe Shepard started dating Kaidan ME1 and Garrus later, or she dates&amp;nbsp;Garrus first and they add Kaidan in&amp;nbsp;ME3... anything goes. Also feel free to include in the relationship any&amp;nbsp;ME1 squadmates (including Ashley) on the &amp;quot;been there from the beginning principle&amp;quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;If you want to write an AU where they manage to talk Kaidan into joining them for ME2, that&apos;s also fine. I wouldn&apos;t want a complete AU without space travel or something, but all kinds of canon divergences are welcome.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Smut is very welcome. Go wild with the awkward alien sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Dragon Age&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Alistair/Anora Mac Tir/Female Warden&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Note that for this request I&apos;m fine with a version where the&amp;nbsp;Warden is in love with both of them but Alistair and Anora are only in a political marriage, and I&apos;m also fine with a true triad. Also, a modern fantasy AU where they have magic and wardens but also cellphones is fine, but no AU without the fantasy elements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;I would love for the Warden to be an elf mage or a dwarf, but I&apos;m open to any race or class.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;King Alistair is the most obvious choice here, but I am absolutely open to other combinations. Maybe Anora is secretly in a relationship with two Wardens, or heteronormativity is dead and they&apos;re all married (works especially well for Cousland Warden).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;The royal(s) resting with their secret concubine(s) after a tiring day of meetings?&amp;nbsp;Dealing with politics together?&amp;nbsp;Having to return to wardening roots by going out into the field? Idk, I&apos;m open to anything here. Smut is okay. Anora and the Warden gently domming Alistair would be great.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Fandom-specific DNW:&amp;nbsp;No Loghain bashing. If you don&apos;t want to write him sympathetically, just don&apos;t mention him at all. (Alive Loghain is welcome - maybe as a warden, or demoted and working for his redemption.) Note that sympathetic doesn&apos;t mean &amp;quot;ignore all his crimes and say he never did anything wrong&amp;quot;, I just want him to have a chance to make up for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Original Work&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;DILF/MILF/The Babysitter (OW)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Identical Twins/An Unrelated Third Party Being Used As An Excuse To Touch Each Other (OW)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Sly Middle-aged Catwoman/Grizzled Middle-aged Catman/Their Catgirl Daughter They Care For Deeply (OW)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Bewildered Older Brother/Older Brother&apos;s Boyfriend/Horny Younger Brother Wishing to be in a Sandwich&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Listen... I&apos;m all about the incest (kink).

Age gap is super hot too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am opting in to underage as low as 15 for any of these prompts, so feel free to make the daughter/siblings/babysitter etc teenagers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trans characters are more than welcome, with or without surgery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot;

  <title>Original Characters</title>
  <link>https://simonlorden.dreamwidth.org/1898.html</link>
  <description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;This is a list of my original characters who I have actually written fic about, and might write more in the future - so, not one-off characters for one story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alyssa Jones (otherwise known as: Alicia, AJ)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Alyssa is one of my oldest OCs, a half-angel who was originally inspired by  Supernatural. Her father is the archangel Gabriel, and her mother was a demigod daughter/descendant of Poseidon. Her backstory may change based on fandom, but common  themes are traveling, flying, demon/monster hunting, and a connection  with water and the sea. She is a dimension traveler and can end up  pretty much in any fandom as a result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a serious case of ADHD and a dose of wanderlust, Alyssa rarely stays in one place for long. She is a passionate and loyal friend who helps anyone in need - when she is around, and not backpacking on the other side of the universe. She is fiercely bisexual and polyamorous, although maintaining long-term relationships is difficult for her because of the aforementioned unreliability. Her best relationships are with people who share her tendency to pick up the relationship where they left off even if they haven&apos;t talked in five years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the above, she also has a lot of casual relationships, and is pretty kinky. She also has a tendency to ramble a lot, and is generally high energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fandoms and Connections:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Supernatural:&amp;nbsp;daughter of Gabriel, hunter, on neutral terms with the Winchesters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Havenfall is for Lovers/Lovestruck:&amp;nbsp;JD&apos;s cousin, in a long-term open relationship with Antonio, used to date Diego back in the 1920s when they were both friends with Neil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;PJO: granddaughter of Poseidon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Astoria Fate&apos;s Kiss: an agent of HERA, on good terms with Alex&amp;nbsp;Cyprin and with Uncle&amp;nbsp;Hades&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;October Daye: grew up with selkies in Wales, is drawn mostly to sea-related fae and Cait Sidhe, has been friends with&amp;nbsp;Rand/Tybalt since the London theatre days and was introduced to the Torquills there, adopted/honorary granddaughter of Amphitrite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Shadowhunters: close friend/adopted daughter figure for Ragnor,&amp;nbsp;Magnus and Catarina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Ghost Roads/Incryptid: general traveler and cryptid expert, friends with Rose and Apple, idk about the Incryptid families yet because I haven&apos;t read much&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;The Witcher: good friends and traveling buddy with Ciri, knows Gaunter O&apos;Dimm as her father&apos;s friend&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://hu.pinterest.com/greywardenblue/oc-take-an-angel-by-the-wings/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Pinterest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2djktKt6xjJiDgLYXlSfkQ?si=9e8a46d38ea146d6&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Soundtrack&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;October Daye Fics:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/23171632&quot;&gt;the chances we missed&lt;/a&gt; [Simon/Patrick - I kinda implied Alyssa is Cait Sidhe in this because I didn&apos;t want to go into the whole dimension travel thing, but she&apos;s the same character who is an old friend of Simon and Tybalt]&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ghost Roads /&amp;nbsp;Incryptid Fics:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/35661028&quot;&gt;when home is out of range&lt;/a&gt; [Rose/Alyssa, with minor/past Alyssa/Bobby and one-sided Rose/Bobby]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June Daye /&amp;nbsp;Torquill /&amp;nbsp;Lorden&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;June (he/they) is an&amp;nbsp;October&amp;nbsp;Daye specific OC, a child of Simon Torquill and October Daye. The circumstances of his birth depend somewhat on the given fic, but he is always a mouthy teenager who is basically teen Toby amplified. Either three quarters fae or full-blooded fae depending on the timeline, June has the blood magic from both sides and illusions from one, which makes him better at blood magic than an average Daoine Sidhe, but better at illusions than the average D&amp;oacute;chas Sidhe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has Toby&apos;s tendency for running headfirst into danger, and talking back to authority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is trans, and pretty visibly so. He&apos;s comfortable with looking feminine, but he&apos;s firm in his not-girl identity and stands up for himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Connections:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;sibling relationship with Quentin &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;is dating Raj and Chelsea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;lowkey has a one-sided crush on Walther, who is a role model/mentor figure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Pinterest [TBA]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Soundtrack [TBA]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Verse #&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;1:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/33532861&quot;&gt;the rain pounds harsh against the glass&lt;/a&gt; [Simon/Toby, backstory]&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/33555700/chapters/83378170&quot;&gt;this same rain that draws you near me&lt;/a&gt; [planned multi-chapter, follows books]&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/35137999&quot;&gt;better man&lt;/a&gt; [Simon/Toby with June cameo, slightly divergent from the rest]&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Simon and Toby had a one-night-stand&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;due to&amp;nbsp;Devin&apos;s scheming, and Toby got pregnant. When the baby was born, she broke up with Cliff because she realized she couldn&apos;t raise a child who is more fae than her with a human man, and she moved in with her friend Stacy. Stacy was the one babysitting June when Toby disappeared, so June grew up with her and with her children, as a honorary Brown kid. Once Toby comes back, June is a bit wary but excited to have their mother back. Everyone around them assumes June is Sylvester&apos;s illegitimate kid, and June doesn&apos;t learn the truth for a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verse #2:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;but i&apos;ll still be here in the morning [WIP]&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Starts in the same place as Verse #1, but instead of moving in with Stacy,&amp;nbsp;Toby stayed with Cliff. Simon learns about their child from Oleander&apos;s taunting in the Tea Gardens, and when he realizes that Cliff is not at all equipped to deal with Faerie, he takes June with him and raises them on his own. The two of them reunite with Toby around R&amp;amp;R, where Toby has to face the fact that her child was raised by the man who ruined her life... and that despite all that, June only heard good things about her and wants them to be a family together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verse #3:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This verse is for fics where a five-way relationship forms after AKF/WSC between the Lordens and Toby/Tybalt. June is born a few years after, close in age to Sam (Simon and Dianda&apos;s son) and Beatrice (Toby and Tybalt&apos;s child). Since this verse follows canon up to AKF, Gillian also exists and acts as a big sister to June.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verse #4:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a secret verse Rho and I have been talking about :&amp;nbsp;) but it has both Gillian and June, who are only a few years apart and grew up together as siblings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crossovers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This section is for fics where June from any of the above verses visits the canon verse through dimension travel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;October Daye Future Kids&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beatrice Daye&lt;/em&gt;: Genderfluid, she/he, child of Toby and Tybalt. Sharp-toothed theater kid, calico cat. In some verses might be fraternal twins with June.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sam Lorden&lt;/em&gt;: He/him, feminine cis boy. Earned the nickname &apos;Ariel&apos; from his siblings with his mermaid tail and long, red Torquill hair. Kind of shy in comparison to June and Bea, but secretly just as mischievous. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=simonlorden&amp;ditemid=1898&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>An Intro to Sir Ember</title>
  <link>https://simonlorden.dreamwidth.org/1295.html</link>
  <description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who is Sir November Nighte?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Hero of the Realm, duh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No, but really.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so the basic idea here is that somebody (or somebodies) in the October Daye universe are writing parodied versions of Toby&apos;s adventures and her friends - or rather, about the adventures of Sir November Nighte, Faerie Knight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything else beyond that is up to you. Are you writing in-universe fanfiction on Ao3, or is your idea of somebody sneakily publishing a book about Toby with the names changed?&amp;nbsp;Is your writer somebody Toby knows closely, or maybe someone from a kingdom over who only heard rumours of Sir Daye? Anything goes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you want to write your own:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below you&apos;ll find some of the names and details we crowdsourced, but absolutely feel free to come up with different names for everyone and everything. You probably want to keep Toby&apos;s - I mean, Sir Ember&apos;s name, but other than that, anything is free game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you post your work on ao3, please tag with &amp;quot;Ember Nighte Universe (October Daye)&amp;quot; in the ADITIONAL&amp;nbsp;TAGS field to make it easier for people to find works playing with this concept!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Also, if you&apos;re in the October Daye Discord, feel free to request the&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Sir Ember&apos;s Entourage&amp;quot; role to be pinged for any future works in this universe!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optional name suggestions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Evening Winterrose: Duchess Dusk, Marquise Midnight, or Nyx&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Tybalt:&amp;nbsp;Paris [from Romeo and Juliet]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Quentin:&amp;nbsp;Eliot [Quentin&apos;s LI in the Magicians]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Dean:&amp;nbsp;Sam [because... well]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Raysel:&amp;nbsp;Rosa, Scarlett&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;August:&amp;nbsp;Victoria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Sylvester&amp;nbsp;Torquill:&amp;nbsp;Lester Tor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Simon Torquill:&amp;nbsp;Seymour Tor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Luna:&amp;nbsp;Selene&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;January:&amp;nbsp;December [first vs last month of the year]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Gillian:&amp;nbsp;July [origin of her name]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;September:&amp;nbsp;Autumn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;April:&amp;nbsp;Spring, March?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;May:&amp;nbsp;February [second month from the start of the year;&amp;nbsp;November is second from the end]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Luidaeg:&amp;nbsp;Ursula&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optional details:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Sir Ember is Daoine Sidhe, the daughter of Eira Rosynwyr herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Sir Ember is a redhead, and her love interest is a&amp;nbsp;tuxedo cat who works tuxedos in his biped form.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Yes, we&apos;re aware this goes against Word of God &amp;quot;Fae don&apos;t create fiction&amp;quot; thing.

  <title>Smut/Kink Likes and Dislikes (NSFW)</title>
  <link>https://simonlorden.dreamwidth.org/1208.html</link>
  <description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;This is an extra letter for general smut-specific likes and dislikes. Note that while I love these things, I might not love them for all pairings or fandoms, so fandom-specific modifications in letters can overwrite this list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basics:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;preferred words for genitals: cock, dick, cunt, pussy (&apos;cunny&apos; is fine specifically for underage, but it&apos;s on thin ice. don&apos;t use it with adults though)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;threesomes, foursomes, moresomes are okay. masturbation is okay, solo or mutual&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;General Likes:&lt;br /&gt;Note that I like noncon and dubcon, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;but I prefer the  victim enjoying it (feeling guilty about  it or enjoying it against their  will is very good). also, soft noncon  where the lack of violence  fucks the victim up emotionally because  they&apos;re forced to enjoy it. The below likes can work both with or without consent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;characters discovering new kinks/likes through sex (&amp;quot;this had better not awaken something in me&amp;quot;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;gentle dom (including femdom)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;unprotected sex, threat of pregnancy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;being held down, hands being tied, legs being tied or spread apart, manhandling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;pain kink to some degree, e.g. noncon victim enjoying rough noncon despite/because of the pain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;fingerfucking, facefucking, blowjobs, enthusiastic cunnilingus&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;vaginal or anal sex equally okay for any gender/sexuality&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;double penetration, including spitroasting, anal+vaginal and double vaginal. i&apos;m neutral on double anal for someone who also has a vagina, it&apos;s fine but not my first pick. double anal for people without vaginas is cool though&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;somnophilia, consensual or not. the receiver waking up with clear signs of being used, or even waking up in the middle of sex&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;consensual nonconsent (rape roleplay)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;playing with nipples and sucking on breasts (lactation optional - I don&apos;t mind it but I&apos;m not that into it)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;breeding kink, even if pregnancy is not possible (e.g. due to infertility, sex or birth control)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;internal creampies. please. also external creampies, ejaculating on somebody&apos;s lips or chin or somewhere else on their body&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;semi-public sex with the risk of being caught (but no being caught unless the person catching them joins)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;men getting pegged and loving it (by any gender)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;first times, loss of virginity, virginity kink (not necessarily by being penetrated)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;light bondage e.g. being tied up with ropes or handcuffs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;being tied up with a vibrator and being unable to stop it (including being temporarily abandoned like that)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;being muffled to keep quiet (pillows, hands, etc)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;also the opposite:&amp;nbsp;being loud, being encouraged to be loud, being made to beg&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;mistaken/secret identity (either mutual or one-sided, e.g. X doesn&apos;t know Y&amp;nbsp;is secretly their friend/enemy/sibling for whatever reason). masks optional but very good.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;public use/being used in front of an audience, prostitution&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;characters pretending to be younger than they are (either lying or as consensual roleplay)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sex being forced by outsiders, e.g. being forced to perform sex for an audience for whatever reason, one person being forced to rape the other&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;one person in a relationship being nonconned in front of their partner (consensual polyamory version: two or more people having sex while at least one person is made to watch without participating)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;size difference / size kink&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;tentacles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;clothed or semi-clothed sex&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Trans-specific section:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;I  love smut with trans characters, especially trans men or AFAB&amp;nbsp;nonbinary   characters. (I&apos;m also okay with smut with trans women or  AMAB&amp;nbsp;nonbinary, it&apos;s just not something I usually seek out)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;I  generally mean pre-op in the notes below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;I  would prefer if they had no dysphoria about their lower  parts, and  either explicitly no dysphoria about their chest or the chest being  ignored (as opposed to detailed dysphoria). please give me trans men  loving to get fucked in their pussies, ok? trans women liking their dick  is also great.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;trans  men/AFAB&amp;nbsp;nonbinary who had top surgery but no bottom is also great (i.e.  they have pussies but flat chests, with or without scars)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;cunt  or pussy being used for trans men is fine, dick or cock being used for  trans women is fine. I personally don&apos;t consider these terms in  themselves gendered, so this doesn&apos;t qualify as misgendering to me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;transphobia/misgendering is okay in noncon/darkfic, but please tag for it so both me and other readers can be aware it&apos;s there&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Incest/Underage specific likes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;sibling or parent/child incest (bonus points for twincest, whether identical or not)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;underage ships, either with each other or with adults&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;teacher/student&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;younger sibling/parent&apos;s child being groomed corrupted is great&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;however, i also love the opposite - e.g. horny younger sibling/son/daughter seducing older sibling or parent and being more dominant in the relationship (one of my current favorite dynamics is a teen son pegging his dad)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;feeling guilty about the incest OR being absolutely shameless are both good&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;basically this:&amp;nbsp;https://twitter.com/FehForFun/status/1351665731759452168&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;forced incest (as in, siblings or parent/child being forced to have sex by outside agent - i&apos;d much prefer if they were secretly into it, even if guilty about it)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;underage characters lying that they&apos;re older, and the partner being horrified but still horny after finding out the truth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;immortal or other adult characters who look underage&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;adult characters being physically aged down but mentally keeping their adult self - bonus points if they did it on purpose, e.g. using magic to age themselves down so their partner can fuck them that way&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;DNW:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;pregnancy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;heavy violence, mutilation, amputation, permanent damage&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A/B/O&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;futanari&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;raceplay&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;necrophilia, gore, vore&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sounding&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;medical kink&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;scat, piss, farting, toilet related kinks, diapers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;ass to mouth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;oral or kissing with animals&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;death, suicide&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;cutting wrists&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=simonlorden&amp;ditemid=1208&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

(You can read more dislikes in my expanded list, but anything not listed here will not count as a DNW&amp;nbsp;for this exchange.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;October&amp;nbsp;Daye Series - Seanan&amp;nbsp;McGuire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Dianda/Patrick/Simon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best ship. I absolutely adore these three in all combinations - feel free to focus on one &apos;leg&apos; of the relationship if you want, e.g. Dianda and Simon bonding where they talk about Patrick but he doesn&apos;t appear is fine, or a pre-canon scene about Simon giving advice to Patrick to woo Dianda while also pining. As long as it&apos;s clear that all three have feelings for each other and the third person is involved. (This goes for fanart too, of course. Caveat:&amp;nbsp;I&apos;d prefer not to get something where Simon doesn&apos;t appear. But Dianda/Simon-focus and Patrick/Simon-focus are fine.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m up-to-date on the books and Patreon stories, so anything from those is fair game. My preference is that you go for a more hopeful mood. Mentioning Simon&apos;s trauma or other canon angst is fine, but I would really prefer that not to be the main focus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SFW&amp;nbsp;Prompts: Dancing together at their wedding&amp;nbsp;(or somebody else&apos;s...). Simon taking Patrick and Dianda with him to that one burrito place in human disguises and introducing them as his spouses. Swimming together?&amp;nbsp;Bonding with their kids, existing or future. (For fanart specifically, I would adore a Dianda/Simon kid. Little redheaded mermaid please?) Also, just any kind of domestic stuff, getting used to living together, Simon being &amp;quot;integrated&amp;quot; into the relationship, etc. Honestly I&apos;m fine with literally anything as long as it&apos;s not angst-heavy or focusing mainly on trauma, these are just suggestions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that I adore the idea of Simon having freckles on his face and all over his body, so feel free to include that in both fic and fanart. I also think that it would make sense for both&amp;nbsp;Dianda and Simon to have older scars (Dianda from fighting, Simon both from fighting and Oleander&apos;s abuse - these scars aren&apos;t counted under my no angst DNW.) I&apos;m not against Patrick having scars either of course, I just think he&apos;d be less likely to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very specific fanart prompt: So, like, you know the Mirror of Erised? Something like a beaten Simon in worn clothes, alone, in Eira&apos;s metaphorical clutches, looking into a mirror and seeing himself happy with Patrick and Dianda. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NSFW&amp;nbsp;Prompts: Look. Mermaid sex. Whatever that means to you, I&apos;m intrigued. Also, Patrick and/or Simon getting pegged by Dianda. (Fanart of this is also fine, if you do NSFW fanart.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The Witcher (Video&amp;nbsp;Games)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Geralt/Eskel/Lambert,&amp;nbsp;Geralt/Dettlaff/Regis, Geralt/Eskel/Lambert/Dettlaff/Regis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I adore both Dettlaff/Regis/Geralt and Eskel/Geralt/Lambert, and while I never thought of combining them before, I&apos;m certainly not against it. So if you nominated/offered that fivesome, I&apos;m honestly very intrigued to see what YOU had in mind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ideas for Dettlaff/Regis/Geralt: Living at the winery. Is this domestic bliss? Is this dealing with the chores and running a damn business? Is this monsterhunting or breaking curses or solving murders together? All of the above?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ideas for Eskel/Geralt/Lambert: I would love to see something with the three of them young, maybe falling into a relationship accidentally while training, maybe pining... in short, how did it start? Or, if you want: how is it going? Wintering together at Kaer Morhen, sneaking around to avoid Vesemir knowing anything, or meeting each other accidentally on the Path and making the most of the short time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some canon-typical gore/blood/violence is fine for this one, but no heavy angst or explicit gore (nothing that would require the archive warning, I guess), and maybe go lighter on the misogynistic comments than the canon did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Genshin Impact (Video Game)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Dainsleif/Lumine/Aether&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just love these three so, so much. They should be endgame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have slight preference for Aether as Traveler and Lumine as Abyss Queen, but I&apos;m fine with either dynamic. Feel free to go with an idea where only the two of them are present with the third in the background, e.g. Lumine thinking about Aether while she&apos;s with Dainsleif and Aether is asleep (or the other way around). Dainsleif using one of the twins as a rebound for the other? Also good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, just to make it clear, I am 100% here for the incest. If you&apos;re not, then I&apos;m fine with a scenario where the twins share Dainsleif without being involved with each other, but I&apos;d much prefer something where the twins have either been a couple or at least pining for each other long before they met Dainsleif.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to play around with all three of them being long-lived and seeing centuries pass. I&apos;d also love a scenario where the twins decide to leave Teyvat and take Dainsleif with them. (For fanart, this could mean the three of them in another world e.g. in modern or sci-fi clothing.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Fire Emblem:&amp;nbsp;Three&amp;nbsp;Houses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Dimitri/Yuri/Byleth, Yuri/Byleth/Claude,&amp;nbsp;Dimitri/Byleth/Claude, four of them together&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t have big prompts here so I&apos;m just going to ramble about my favored dynamics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dimitri/Yuri/Byleth: I would love some mixed-route thing where Byleth is the head of the Blue Lions but also of the Ashen Wolves, and Yuri and Dimitri kind of &apos;fight&apos; over who Byleth&apos;s favorite house leader is. Also, anything with Yuri dragging the two of them in trouble, and Dimitri going along to make sure Byleth stays safe, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yuri/Byleth/Claude: Yuri and Claude would either get on like a house on fire, or tease each other to death. Byleth is exasperatedly stuck in the middle, wondering how the heck he fell in love with these two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dimitri/Byleth/Claude: Again, I like the kind of playful rivalry between Dimitri and Claude, and Byleth navigating that from the middle, loving both of them. (Which isn&apos;t to say Dimitri and Claude don&apos;t fall in love, because they totally should.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would strongly prefer to get something pre-timeskip to be honest, but if you have a good post-timeskip idea, go wild.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=simonlorden&amp;ditemid=783&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Hi there!&amp;nbsp;First of all, thank you so much for considering to write for me!&amp;nbsp;I hope this letter will be of some help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My ao3 name is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/users/simonlorden&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;simonlorden&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Fandoms:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;October Daye&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Murderbot Diaries&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Ghost Roads /&amp;nbsp;Sparrow Hill Road&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;LOVE: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;found family, romance/shippy stuff, humour, snark, the comfort part of hurt/comfort, polyamory. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;time travel! this is specific, but i kind of love the idea of a character meeting their future self and being shocked at being told stuff they never thought would happen (especially if the stuff is good, though.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;I&apos;m okay with incest, underage or teen/adult fics, if that is something you&apos;re interested in writing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;canon-divergent AUs that don&apos;t change the setting, e.g. &amp;quot;what would happen if X character did Y thing differently&amp;quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;accidental baby acquisition.

Amena showing Iris around her home. If you want to go more plotty, you can also write about them being on a mission and working together/being clever and badass (I would like something more humorous than overly serious, but we know from Murderbot that you can combine the two.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m fine with non-nominated (or non-requested) characters showing up.

How he just really wants to wear  nice clothes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Toby Daye Prompts:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;For the kids: Simon with January or April - I could see Simon being interested in tech and April teaching him about new stuff. Maybe even Simon meeting baby Rayseline for the first time, his brother&apos;s long-awaited pride and joy. (Would he be thinking of his own child, still lost and still not found? Heck, I&apos;ll take a fic about Simon&apos;s conflicted feelings when he&apos;s forced to kidnap Raysel.)&amp;nbsp;Simon getting to know Dean and/or Peter, maybe giving them advice either as a parent or as a more experienced noble/diplomat? Simon mentoring Quentin and/or Dean in Daoine Sidhe blood magic. You can also write Simon interacting with any of Toby&apos;s horde of teens, including Gillian, Quentin, Chelsea... OC kids with his new spouses are also okay. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Something with August, either from the past, or after they finally have each other back. Anything with October, either in the present, or an accidental meeting at Shadowed Hills when she&apos;s a kid, or an AU where Simon raised her as her father. Bonding with May or August!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Also feel free to make it a big chaotic family dinner with a lot of characters or something, if that is something you enjoy writing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;For siblings &amp;amp; parents: Pretty much anything. I&amp;rsquo;d love to see somebody&amp;rsquo;s take on what the brothers&amp;rsquo; relationship was like back in London or when they first moved to America. This is probably the part where I&amp;rsquo;d be most okay with seeing Amandine since it&amp;rsquo;s kinda hard to avoid her in that time, but please keep her to mentions if possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;For side/background ship: First of all I love polyamory, so feel free to include several of these at the same time (or none. that&apos;s fine too, these are just suggestions.) Quentin/Dean is great. Quentin/Raj is also great. Gillian/Dean and Gillian/Chelsea are my big rarepairs that I adore. Raysel/August is my biggest rarepair, and I would be overjoyed to get something with Simon reacting to /that/, but I know this is a long shot so don&apos;t worry about it. Canon background relationships are fine (I love Toby/Tybalt and Etienne/Bridget for example), but no Walther/Cassandra if possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=simonlorden&amp;ditemid=687&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
