Holy-fuck letter 2024

[flo_nelja]

Hello, writer or artist! I'm glad we share a fandom.
I hope you find inspiring things in my letter!

What I love:
* Humor, angst, or smut, bittersweet or intense emotions, dark or heartwarming, I'm open.
* Stories in the form of a myth or fairy tale
* God/worshipper D/s fics that are ritualized like a religion rather than as mundane D/s.
* Dialogue. Opt-in: play/script format is very much welcome.
* Fics about power and its uses.
* Gods being terrifying (even when they only want you to be happy, it doesn't mean they understand). Gods being loved very tenderly. Together or separately.
* Art likes: I adore symbolism, art nouveau and tarot cards.

DNWs:
* All kinds of AUs except canon divergence or crossovers with myths. Even in canon divergence, I'd rather characters keep their canon personality and most of their history
* Character bashing
* Incest except if canon or requited. Underage under 14yo.
* Cheating
* Medical themes, injuries with lasting effects, pandemics.
* Non-canon death of canon characters. Mass death. Apocalypse fics.
* Love at first sight outside of supernatural influences (lust at first sight or friendship at first sight are good)
* De-Aging, non-canon compliant gender or sex swap, soulmates/soulmarks (soulbonds are okay)
* Ageplay, infantilization, daddy and mommy kink, scat, watersports, emeto.
* Stories about financial problems
* Humor based on misunderstandings or incompetence
* AI-generated art



American Gods - Neil Gaiman
Low-key Lyesmith (D!AmGods)/Wednesday (D!AmGods)

I love how these two assholes are able to plan an evil plan together, it would be nice to have some backstory (or present day staying updated) on this.
For art, even if I nominated the books for the plot, the show design is cool (including any version of Mr World for Loki) but also just going with the books description is perfect.


Aztec Religion
Quetzalcoatl/Tezcatlipoca

I love snarky opponents with UST, forced to ally for cosmic projects, rewritings with seduction/outright non-con of how Tezcatlipoca forced Quetzalcoatl to leave Tula, fleeting moment of tenderness in the middle of a bloody fight, blood and pain kink. Lots of things that are not fluff.
For art, I love pure human forms, animal forms, or any mix.


Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Devil (D!Brothers Karamazov)/Ivan Karamazov (Brothers Karamazov)

I love every part of Ivan's hallucinations, or are they? Actually I'm also god if these are not hallucinations and the devil is real, including the theory where he's actually the narrator.


Christian Religion
God (D!Christian)/Lucifer (Christian)

There are so many versions of their interactions and I'd take any of them where it's not fully black-and-white. Which I assume it won't be, if they're together.


Faust - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Heinrich Faust (Faust - Goethe)/Mephistopheles (D!Faust - Goethe)


Lady of the Shard
Old God (D!LotS)/Radiant Goddess (LotS)
Old God (D!LotS)/Radiant Goddess(D!LotS)

Some backstory! The fragments we had were tantalizing.


Norse Religion & Lore
Loki (D!Norse)/Odin (D!Norse)

Can be all the backstory implied in the Lokasenna where they were sworn brothers, were doing strange magics, travelled and were assholes together. Can be at "present time".


The Silmarillion
Aulë (D!Silm)/Yavanna (D!Silm)
Estë (D!Silm)/Irmo | Lorien (D!Silm)
Nienna (D!Silm)/Olorin | Gandalf (D!Silm)

Morgoth Bauglir | Melkor (D!Silm)/Sauron | Mairon (D!Silm)
