aguntoaknifefightHello, and thank you for considering writing something for me! Treats are welcome, as are fics of any rating. I'm aguntoaknifefight (swirlingvoid) on ao3. Fandoms and pairings are organized alphabetically. A lot of the longer prompts have been cobbled together from different letters where these relationships were requested as / ships, so I’d like to say up front that I will be very happy with whatever you create!
DNW: setting change AUs*, unrequested trans headcanons, unrequested omegaverse, on-page sex with a character under 16 (or species equivalent; discussions of solo or paired sexual exploration prior to this age are fine)
*defined here as changing the location and/or time period of canon; pre-canon, future fic, or adding tropes to the setting are all fine!
Stylistically, I particularly enjoy:
General themes I particularly like:
The Inheritance Cycle
Eragon and Murtagh
Transfem headcanons are welcome for either (or both) Eragon and Murtagh!
There are so many flavors of relationship between these two over the course of the series, and all of them are good. Their initial roadtrip is the happiest point between them for a while, and then there are so many complicated feelings after Murtagh is captured/defects and they realize they’re related. I also adore how psyched Eragon is for Murtagh to come stay with him at the end of the book Murtagh.
I really enjoy how scared Murtagh is throughout much of the series and how mean it can make him, even as he’s still desperate for Eragon to recognize him as a brother. Likewise, I enjoy how Eragon is extremely adaptable to basically whatever the series throws at him. I’m open to any level of involvement for Saphira and Thorn short of actual sexual contact between humans and dragons; I really enjoy the psychic dragon bond and my favorite flavor of it is "platonic but extremely intense and weird to outsiders." (Background Saphira/Thorn is okay to include.)
I am also fascinated by an AU where they were both raised as Morzan's sons in Galbatorix's court (whether or not Eragon's actual parentage is any different). How does it alter their dynamic? Do either of them become Riders?
The Silmarillion
Trans headcanons I've opted into: trans man Curufin, Celegorm of any gender. Sauron being either any gender of nonbinary or a man On Purpose is also welcome, though YMMV on if the latter is (narratively or on a character level) transness or not. I am fine with Curufin being the parent who gave birth to Celebrimbor so long as that pregnancy isn’t occurring on page.
Fandom-specific DNW: Rings of Power (TV)-specific elements, divorce as a possibility for ending a relationship between Elves including between Aredhel/Eol (permanent separation welcome), miscarriage (abortion welcome)
Annatar and Celebrimbor
This is my ultimate “The love was there. It didn't change anything. It didn't save anyone. But the love was there” pairing because the love being there makes things feel so much worse. I love interpretations where whatever exists between them are (wildly unexpectedly for Sauron, who thinks feelings are for other people) genuine and affectionate, and then Sauron still goes through with choosing power anyway! What does Sauron think is real about the situation? Was he expecting Celebrimbor to be on his side post-reveal even just a little bit? Was he prepared for feeling betrayed? I like when Celebrimbor first and foremost likes Annatar as a person, mask-slips and all, in a deep and ill-advised way.
I would love to see any era for them: as strangers, early in their acquaintance/friendship/relationship, very comfortable together, torture/death, or re-embodiment/post-death. Other things I'd love to see include deep and complicated feelings (on either of their parts! What does it mean to have this Maia come out of the West and absolve you?), intimacy (in a romantic, sexual, friendly and/or it's complicated) that develops but is never acted on as far as it could be, and Sauron flipping between masks during the torture and finding none of them fit quite right (and needing to kill Celebrimbor about it). I like when Sauron-as-Annatar is flawed in ways that come across very differently without the context the reader has about who he is and where this is headed.
Please give me your headcanons for worldbuilding where necessary! I’m very open to anything regarding Celebrimbor in terms of where and when he was born, who his mother/other biological parent is, his level of complicity in the first kinslaying, and how much he knows or suspects about Sauron (though I'd prefer if he didn't suspect everything correctly in a canon-compliant fic). I would also be really, really interested in how the relationship is publicly presented. How clear is it that Celebrimbor is Annatar's favorite person? (Are there Thingol and Melian comparisons? How much does Sauron resent them?)
Aredhel and Celegorm (and Curufin)
I love Aredhel as a woman who is simultaneously morally compromised (kinslaying) and sympathetic (everything else); I love Celegorm as someone who does not pretend to be less dangerous or awful than he is, even to himself; I love Curufin as a deeply proud and intelligent man. (Though some are probably less applicable to Years of the Trees-era fics, I'd love to see the first emergence of these traits.)
I feel like Aredhel and Celegorm get each other on a level that other people don’t. Has she followed in Orome’s train in the past alongside Celegorm? How did they initially click with each other? How long did it take post-Helcaraxe for Aredhel to speak to Celegorm again? I’d also love to see something set post-fleeing Eol (perhaps someone recognizes this is a situation that is going to get dangerous and decides Eol doesn’t get marital rights, actually?) or in fourth-age Valinor post-reembodiment. What are Aredhel and Celegorm like with each other?
What draws Aredhel and Curufin together, particularly in the Years of the Trees era? Are they friends(etc.) through Celegorm first, or does their dynamic develop independently? (Curufin and Celegorm thoughts are below.)
Celegorm and Curufin
They are playing “I’m not touching you” with the line of what ‘counts’ as incest, I feel.
I am intrigued by how they function as a tight-knit unit from essentially the beginning; we consistently hear them described together and as living on each other’s lands. At what point did that start? They also both seem willing to own up to what they’re willing to do for the Oath much sooner than their other siblings (even the ones who will go on to commit the third one after C&C are dead). Is that loyalty ever tested? I’m interested in really any era for them (Years of the Trees, early First Age, Nargothrond, post-Nargothrond pre-Doriath, post-death Valinor) and any tone that feels appropriate.
I’d also be really intrigued by an incestuous but (at least originally) nonsexual kink relationship. What’s their journey towards kink discovery?
I would also be really interested in a scenario where Curufin marries his canonical wife under the assumption that LACE is correct and he’ll develop sexual attraction to her once they’re married and then that just…doesn’t happen. (Whether due to asexuality or other queerness.) Does he process the fallout from that with Celegorm)
Celegorm and Huan
Look, for all Huan is dog-shaped he is a Maia and a person. Celegorm knows that better than anyone. Get weird with it.
Curufin and Dior
They’re both proud and killed each other(’s favorite people) and I would love to see that go weird places post-death.
Curufin and Finrod
I’d love to see the powder keg of Nargothrond before it gets lit up! I like these two as cousins who were not necessarily close before the war intervened, and I also love Finrod as simultaneously honorable and deeply politically savvy. How accurate is the narrator of the Silmarillion about what’s happening politically in Nargothrond prior to the quest? (Years of the Trees-era Curufin and Finrod is also welcome, I just have less of an idea of what it looks like!)
Indis and Míriel
They're both queens of the Noldor and in such a unique position. I’m particularly interested in this post-Miriel’s death, whether the relationship is one-sided from Indis or after Miriel eventually decides she does want to be re-embodied. (I feel like the Valar would allow this, so long as Finwe is dead? Miriel and Finwe have just sort of swapped places, so no one alive is married to two people at once.) Did they have any kind of relationship/personal knowledge of each other prior to Miriel's death? What do they like about each other? How do they deal with both of them living in the shadow of a Miriel who no longer exists? What do their children and grandchildren (etc.) think?
Maedhros and Maglor
I think they’re playing a similar game as Celegorm and Curufin but it’s miserable and weirdly tied up with duty, at least once they're several kinslayings in. They have the potential to be gothic as fuck. They're the last two of Feanor's sons standing and I imagine that cannot have done great things for their relationship. I love the potential collapse of identity here, where it's hard to tell what they are to each other in part because all the people who used to play other roles (father, companion, wife, mother, friend, etc.) are all dead. That said, I would also love to see a lighter version of them in Valinor! (Either before or after death.)
The Time Master
Tarod and Yandros
Link to my Fic in a Box promo post and where to find canon!
Tarod is absolutely Yandros's favorite brother (and vice versa), but what does "brotherhood" actually mean for gods of Chaos?
Their dynamic drives me completely insane. The supposed villain going “we’re two sides of the same coin, you’re more like me than you think, you’ll understand eventually,” and then he’s just actually right. (Not in every aspect, admittedly! But the personal ones.) The entire time I was reading this series, I was expecting a third act betrayal from Yandros, and I am so charmed that did not happen. Yandros ultimately chooses Tarod and defers to his decision, even though he doesn’t necessarily agree with it.
I'd love to see Yandros's perspective on any of the scenes where he's talking to Tarod and isn't managing to win him over; I imagine it must be very frustrating. He’s fairly restrained about how much he misses Tarod in canon, but it’s such a disturbing and relatively long-lasting separation, compared to what they've done before. I also think there's a lot of potential for interaction in the time between books one and two, where Tarod has trapped himself in a completely empty castle that he's wrenched out of time. They literally can't get the plot moving, so what else is there to do?
I very much enjoy watching Tarod wrestle with his morality, and I would take truly so many words of it. If Yandros ever does decide to try seduction (whether or not he’s told Tarod that they’re siblings), how does Tarod take it? I would love to see him muddling through confused feelings, particularly if dream sex or shapeshifting is involved.
Post- (or pre-)canon with them both as gods is welcome as well. What are they like when there’s no misunderstandings? (If you’re interested in writing smut, I think they have had the absolute weirdest sex, at least half of which is completely unintelligible to the human brain as such.)
I love outside POV and this is a canon I think it works very well for, as humans either don’t remember or understand much about Yandros and Tarod (either as people or as gods). I think we should toss (confirmed? rumored?) incest/displays of affection into the mix and see what happens.
I have read both the prequel and sequel trilogies as well, so feel free to pull in canon from there if it's helpful and don’t worry about it if it isn’t. (I particularly enjoyed Yandros and Tarod attending human parties incognito together at the beginning of Star Ascendant.)
DNW: setting change AUs*, unrequested trans headcanons, unrequested omegaverse, on-page sex with a character under 16 (or species equivalent; discussions of solo or paired sexual exploration prior to this age are fine)
*defined here as changing the location and/or time period of canon; pre-canon, future fic, or adding tropes to the setting are all fine!

The Inheritance Cycle
Eragon and Murtagh
Transfem headcanons are welcome for either (or both) Eragon and Murtagh!

The Silmarillion
Tolkien-specific likes
- Ominous foreshadowing in otherwise light-hearted fics
- Politics, particularly relationships (sexual, romantic, queerplatonic, or platonic) as extensions of politics
- Messy and complicated family dynamics (incestuous or otherwise)
- The insane amount of time Elves are alive for and how that affects history for them and everyone else
- Grief and inevitability and memory
- Alien Maiar and Valar
- Setting-appropriate/plausible prejudice or baggage around gender, sexuality, disability, and race
- Post-Years of the Trees Valinor and the complexities of being re-embodied
- Religion and cultural traditions
Trans headcanons I've opted into: trans man Curufin, Celegorm of any gender. Sauron being either any gender of nonbinary or a man On Purpose is also welcome, though YMMV on if the latter is (narratively or on a character level) transness or not.
