Dear Rare Pair Fest Writer

Hello dear writer! I'm 13lackbirds on ao3 and I hope you're enjoying the exchange so far. I have some prompts here, but this is by no means meant to be a restrictive list; if you want to combine prompts, or only want to use one of my general likes, or have a different idea altogether, you should roll with it! I deeply love all of these ships and am super excited to see what you come up with.

Bloodborne

Eileen the Crow/Female Hunter

• A mentor/mentee relationship that turns into more, where Eileen takes the hunter into her covenant before she ends up at death’s door - age difference very welcome!
• The hunter tending to Eileen after she’s defeated by the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst
• Something kinky with blood vials - injecting each other, one of them taking blood from the other, getting off on using each other’s blood as a health boost
• Fighting together + adrenaline-fueled hookups
• Bad ending dub- or non-con (with Eileen as the aggressor) during the fight in the Grand Cathedral after Eileen becomes hostile

 

Dark Souls III

Female Ashen One/Fire Keeper

• Us-against-the-world bonding that comes from keeping their plans to snuff out the First Flame a secret
• The two of them alone in the dark after the End of Fire ending
• Something that plays with the timeloop aspects of the game - reliving the same failed attempt to link the flame, meeting each other again and again
• The Ashen One is deeply unsettled after she returns from the Untended Graves (with the eyes or without), the Fire Keeper attempts to comfort her, and desperate kissing/sex happens
• The Fire Keeper is channeling souls for the Ashen One as usual but somehow accidental consciousness-sharing/psychic bonding happens
• Body worship, especially the Ashen One worshipping the Fire Keeper

 Female Ashen One/Sirris of the Sunless Realms

• Sirris mentoring the Ashen One in the ways of the Darkmoon Covenant
• Anything with the two of them working together - a fetch quest, sparring to improve their combat techniques, fighting off invaders, helping another NPC, etc.
• A moment of vulnerability or caregiving, maybe involving hurt/comfort if the fights with Creighton or Hodrick go awry
• The Ashen One joins Rosaria's Fingers and the two become enemies -- could they ever reconcile? How might the Ashen One go about regaining Sirris' trust? (Sirris’ colder, vengeful side coming out in corporal punishment, dubcon, hatefucking, and/or D/s vibes is 100% welcome)
• Loyalty kink, service kink

 
Rosaria, Mother of Rebirth/Yellowfinger Heysel

• Darkfic, horror (feel free to go as bleak or creepy as you want)
• Something touching on either of their backstories - maybe how and why Heysel became a Finger, or something hinting at wtf exactly Rosaria is
• Xeno
• A creepy ritual – maybe Heysel’s induction into the covenant, a display of loyalty from Heysel, a bonding ceremony between them, or something else?
• Something with Rosaria lovingly creating a new body for Heysel, and the two of them trying the new body out after Heysel is reborn
• Heysel going after Leonhard after he kills Rosaria, and what she might do with Rosaria’s soul (maybe something mirroring Rosaria’s ‘rebirthing’ of Heysel?)
• Rosaria tending to grub!Heysel

 

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)

Lust/Sloth

• The two of them teaming up to manipulate some unsuspecting town/alchemist/government worker into advancing Dante’s plans
• AU where Sloth is assigned to work with Lust instead of Pride
• Fighting that turns into makeouts and/or sex, perhaps taking advantage of homunculi's healing and shapeshifting abilities - water tentacles, Lust extending her nails while fingering Sloth, etc.
• Lust talking to, torturing, or fucking Sloth while she’s trapped in the transmutation circle during “Sealing the Homunculus”
• Sloth talking to, torturing, or fucking Lust while she’s impaled on Dante’s wall
• Fucking in an attempt to feel human

 

When Women Were Warriors

Tamras/Maara

• This is the odd ship out in my requests in that I’m not really into sadness or darkfic for this ship - I’m fine with angst and canon-typical drama but I’d prefer nothing that makes their relationship something negative to them
• Sickfic, whump, or hurt/comfort
• A missing scene from Tamras' apprenticeship or their time hiding in the forest
• I really liked the focus on spiritual experiences in the books and would love to see more of that, whether it's a marriage/partnership ceremony, more sex-with-feelings, or in something tropey like the two of them swapping bodies or sharing a consciousness
• Maara pining for Tamras during their separation in book 3
• Something set post-canon - I'd love anything with the two of them as old ladies, or with Tamras in her prime after she’s inherited Merin’s house.
