Little Black Dress

[asymptotically]

Thank you for writing for me! <3

I tend to go full steam into rarepairs and multishipping given the slightest option, so this exchange is really just enabling me. I love minor characters, I love new ways of pairing up major characters and the different dynamics that would result, and I have some major pairings for each of these that I will never ever be tired of getting fic for. So you basically cannot go wrong on this! Please throw whatever pairing you are super feeling at me, because what I want most from this is for my author to have fun with me over shared love of one of these characters and how dang easy they are to ship with someone.

I feel like I should have an apology about my ramblings for each character. I have no idea if they actually got across dynamics I like for the characters properly or not, but I tried! Please don't feel like you *have* to hit something I said, I was just trying to give some idea of the vague bundle of thoughts in my head about shipping these characters. I also included a link to lists of possible pairings for most of these if you need it. Please don't feel obligated to stick to those lists. I literally picked up like four new pairings I hadn't considered before just by running my lists by friends like "Who did I forget?" or skimming wiki lists for characters that might be fun.




Scum Villain's Self Saving System - Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu, Shen Jiu | Shen Qingqiu, or Shang Qinghua
Tian Guan Ci Fu - Ling Wen or Yushi Huang
Star Wars The Old Republic - Darth Marr or Darth Acina
Dragon Age (Video Games) - Felix Alexius, Ameridan, or Delrin Barris
Mass Effect Andromeda - Liam Kosta

Scum Villain's Self Saving System

Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu - M/M or M/M/M

I mean, it's like one toe away from canon that half the cast is in love with him. He's *so* easy to multiship. I love both the absolute disaster of a person he is as well as the veneer of cool immortal master that he manages to project (and the *actual* moments of cool immortal master that he doesn't seem to even realize he's having, half the time). He's so casually kind and argumentative all at the same time, and it can make for some really fun ships. I love fluffy stuff with him, or petty arguments, or situations where he has to work his way out of a complicated plot, or situations where he has to keep calm while internally fanboying. And so many canon divergences.

If you would like inspiration for what pairing to write or just something to shake you out of indecision, then I've listed out pairings I already ship at the link below. Please don't feel limited to the pairings in that link, if you wanted to write something that isn't there!

DNWs

DNW these characters as part of the requested pairing or poly:

• 1 - Original Luo Binghe with the Shen Qingqiu | Shen Yuan from the canon setting. It's fine if he goes to find 'his' Shen Yuan, AUs where Shen Yuan doesn't transmigrate into Shen Qingqiu, or any other divergence/AU that means he is and has always been the only Luo Binghe that Shen Yuan has met
• 2 - Yue Qingyuan if he thinks Shen Qingqiu is Shen Jiu.
• 3 - Old Palace Master

General DNWs that may affect pairing choice:

• Cheating or suspicion of cheating.
• V type poly.
• Open relationships.
• Breakups involving characters in the pairing within the fic.
• Unrequited between requested characters in a fic tagged for them.
• Noncon, fear of Noncon, or focus on past Noncon.
• Unrequested Dubcon.
• Underaged.
• Incest.

Scum Villain DNWs:

• PIDW characters finding out they were considered fictional in another world.
• LBH's neglect/abuse by SJ!SQQ treated as another false accusation/rumor. (See clarification section)
• For Shen Qingqiu | Shen Yuan *only*: Current or past Bingqiu within a fic for a pairing/poly that doesn't involve Luo Binghe (I'd prefer for it to either be set before it canonically would be an issue or to be handwaved as having not happened. Binghe pining in the background is fine!)

Shen Jiu | Shen Qingqiu - M/M or M/M/M

He's so *mean* and bitter and jealous and clever and greedy and competitive and it's so fun to explore all the disaster relationships he could have (or the ones that work surprisingly well). I love all his arguing, especially when he's being a petty asshole, espcially when he's being a petty asshole while also helping!

I also really love fic that forces him into a situation where he has to be vulnerable or catch feelings and there's all this honesty happening no matter how much he doesn't want it. Other people finding out that most of the accusations against him were untrue is great (especially for fic that predates LBH on QJ). Him just being a disaster and mucking everything up is also great.

Shang Qinghua - M/M or M/M/M

He's like, a keysmash in human form, okay. I love stuff with him being a disaster around someone who looks like much less of a disaster in comparison. I also love stuff with someone realizing that he's actually a lot more competent than he seems like!

Tian Guan Ci Fu

I'm not listing pairings for this one because there are only four named adult women in the whole book that I can remember/find (maybe the queen for a fifth?). I ship Yushi Huang/Ling Wen together like heck, and could see it for Xuan Ji or Jian Lan!

OPT IN: Crossovers with Scum Villain, Mo Dao Zu Shi, and Ascending Do Not Disturb. I'm also willing to opt into any cultivation novel under 250ish chapters that's more towards the fantasy/action/mystery side than the politics side (Sorry if that's wishy washy! Golden Stage is about as politics heavy as I can get through, if that helps.). It does need an english translation. If it's not a book I've read, the mods offered to pass on that I need to start reading the book in question before reveals! 💖 If it helps to know, cultivation/fantasy cnovels that are currently on my "going to catch up on them soon" list are: Nan Chan, Thousand Autumns, and Villain's White Lotus Halo.


Ling Wen - F/F, F/F/F

She's such a cunning, organized, asshole. The whole dynamic with the tumors is excellent. She genuinely wants to help do things and to keep everything running smoothly, but she also likes having the power and is willing to shed an awful lot of blood to get what she wants, and is fine with ignoring the lack of respect that comes with it. She gets so much less respect both from worshipers and the other gods than she deserves, up until she isn't around anymore and everyone realizes that oh shit actually she is the only one good enough to do all of this.

I'm fine with something that plays around with her using the spell to take the male form that most mortals know her by as long as the relationship part of things happens while she's in a female form.

Yushi Huang - F/F, F/F/F

I love every second that she's in the book. She's so practical and smooth and just glides over any drama that other characters bring to the table, not because she's above it all but because she isn't fussed by it all. It's great, and I love her priorities and how to the point she is, and how willing to step up she is.

Opting into M/F for:

• Yushi Huang/Pei Ming

Star Wars: The Old Republic

Apparently my star wars LBD type is "Sith who are secretly good people but also have tons of opportunities to have really tense interactions".

Darth Marr - M/M

His whole deal is so fascinating, because he's unquestionably loyal to the Empire (distinct from the Emperor) and the Sith and the Darkside, without it defining him entirely. There's so many ways ships with him could go, whether it's from earlier on when everything is safely imperial (maybe with another Sith, maybe even way earlier on before he's a Dark Lord), to tense situations when they're working with the republic, to AUs where he lives past his canon death and gets involved in the alliance and suddenly all the dynamics he relied on were changed and he's working with a whole mess of people in a more permanent fashion, but they've still got to get through that tension from the baggage of everything before and the unknowns of the future.

SWTOR DNW:

• Pairings with aliens that don't have human shaped bodies/faces (The line is about at Nautolans, with Nautolans being fine)
• Master/Apprentice ships
• Master/Slave ships

Darth Acina - F/F, F/F/F

I just want Acina being excellent with someone, really. That's all I want. Whether it's the massive amounts of nerding out over the giant hoard of dangerous artifacts that she's in charge of (at any point) and whatever research she might get into because of that, or dangerous flirting with other Sith, or getting the hell down to work in a dangerous situation. I love the Sith/Jedi or Sith/Sith dynamics (whether fraught or going surprisingly well), but Acina sincerely falling for someone entirely outside of that world and having to adjust her own tactics because a lot of the Sith way of doing things just doesn't work with a smuggler or a mandalorian or whoever also sounds super fun. (I love all the ritual of How Sith Do Things and also all the ways that ritual absolutely falls to pieces sometimes when challenged by an outsider.) She jumps *so quickly* to changing things once she gets in power, and has the ability to force everyone to go along with it.

Otp-ins:
Crossovers with other Star Wars properties. (Assume this is an exception to the requested character death DNW if you go with a force ghost or holocron method for this. That DNW is still in effect if you go with time travel, AUs, dimensional weirdness, force dreams, the end of Iokath resulting in stasis or time travel, ect <3)

[Click here for optional pairing list]

Felix Alexius - M/M, M/M/M
He's just so sweet okay. Just a cute math nerd, getting stuck in a horror show. Also comes packaged with several types of the worstbest sort of H/C (the blight, his status/family issues due to having very weak magic, the aftermath of In Hushed Whispers) and I adore it.

Ameridan - M/M, M/M/M
If you don't remember who this is, this is the first Inquisitor. The one who got frozen in ice for hundreds of years to neutralize a dragon-god-thing. He gets like three lines. We were *robbed*. He's most of the woobie parts of Solas without the lies or world destroying, with some added soldier-who-died-for-this.

Delrin Barris - M/M, M/M/M
The cute, level headed, sweet Templar in Inquisition. You know the one. Nice drama-less Templar who just wants to do the right thing and proceeds to do his best at doing that. It's great.

Mass Effect: Andromeda

Videogame only please :)

Liam Kosta - M/M, M/M/M

I love this idealistic loon. He so sincerely wants to help and to make things better, even if he kind of rushes it some times and maybe makes a mess of things because he was impatient.

My whole dynamics for this are just like, waving my hands at Liam going "look, he could make it work!!" which is hard to put to paper properly. He could either charm or intrigue or annoy the shit out of *so many characters* and I love every option with that. If he got a chance to help with something he would jump right into that.  He's so interested in different cultural things, and actually has pretty good success at making contacts with the Angara beyond what the Nexus can do and earning trust! He's just a fun little bit of cheerful and well intentioned chaos to throw at any of the characters, and his moments of sincerity would just make it even better.

Prey

Pre- or post-loop Male Morgan - M/M, M/M/M
Pre- or post-loop Female Morgan - F/F, F/F/F
Typhon Male Morgan - M/M, M/M/M
Typhon Female Morgan - F/F, F/F/F

I sort of smushed all of these together, because I'm fine with whichever variation of Morgan that you want to do! I almost added January in as well but then I realized I couldn't remember if January has Morgan's personality or just their voice, so if you'd like to go with the "January is actually a scan of Morgan's personality at that time" version then consider January an option for the Morgan party up there (January is obviously always an option for shipping with one of the Morgans).

Original Morgan - They're such an asshole. Like, such a science first, morals later, type person. I love dynamics with them that are mixes of antagonism and honest attraction, especially if they're paired with Typhon Morgan. I also would love anything with Mikhaila and how that went, or how any other pairings that are more "normal" because they predate the outbreak went. Morgan seemed to be charming and persuasive in what we saw, with a lot of people being fond of them and finding them easier to work with than Alex (Morgan helped the cute cook guy build his custom operator! And was a lot of people's go-to to get support for proposals and stuff before they went to Alex with it!). AND THEN we found out what Morgan was actually doing and holy shit that's cold. We know just enough to give like ten different directions you could take a relationship with them and I'm totally here for all of that mess.

Post-loop Morgan - I mean, at this point they're basically a different person. We don't know much about them, mostly because you could choose which direction they went. I tended to play with the version of Morgan that went nicer, but I'm fine with exploring a bad end Morgan as well. All their previous relationships could take on such a different theme depending on which way you have their personality shift and who survives the outbreak. It would be so stressful, especially since Morgan is right there to be mad at, but *Morgan* is already mad at their past self (probably) and also remembers none of it.

Typhon Morgan - Even more of the same as the above, with the added complication of it not even being their personality that they're dealing with! The typhon are so interesting and the idea of this "Morgan" interacting with people and figuring out romances while figuring out who the hell they even are is great. (I also love the idea of one that doesn't take the time to figure it out, and just settles into their new "Morgan" personality, regardless of if Morgan is dead or not, and everyone else has to adjust to that).

Clarifications:

• SVSSS Specific Clarification: Since we know from the book that SJ definitely expected Binghe to die from the wrong manual and knew about the bullying, if that treatment comes up I'd rather the canon situation not be characterized as one of the things he was falsely accused of. I don't like child abuse and wouldn't want a fic about it, and don't need it referenced if it isn't relevant, but I also don't want to ignore that it did or would have happened. I would welcome seeing the manual issue or the bullying changed due to outside factors set up by an AU/divergence or an AU/divergence that would change how SJ reacted in that situation, if you want to go that direction!
• Planned public declarations of love that only one half of the pairing knows about ahead of time: I mean things like public marriage proposals/announcements, public confession speeches, announcing the relationship, ect. If the characters have already talked about that sort of thing and the in-the-dark-character is going to react like "Oh hey that thing we talked about is happening now, with no unpleasant surprises that will make me uncomfortable", then don't worry about it! I just don't want them caught off guard or embarrassed by something they had no idea was coming. (It's a big second-hand embarrassment thing for me.)
• Suspicion of Cheating: I mean things like "Are they dating someone else/want to date someone else/slept with someone else/am I a side piece" ect, but not things like "Are they flirting with that waitress". Momentary "Wait wait--oh no that's not it at all" type suspicions are also fine in general, as long as there is no stretch of time where cheating is suspected (for either the reader or the characters)
• V-type poly: What I mean by this is poly where two of the characters are into a third but not each other. I need some sort of romantic relationship for all three legs of a poly relationship, even if it's antagonistic or low key.
• Breakups involving characters in the pairing within the fic: I basically don't want breakup fic, whether that's between both of the characters in the pairing or if it's one character in the pairing breaking up with a prior relationship. It's fine if a canon relationship breaks up *before* the fic and that's mentioned (except for Bingqiu or Moshang, see the SVSSS DNWs), but I don't want a gift that involves that arc. (Prey is an exception to this DNW)
• Non-canon permanent major character death: I don't want something where someone who didn't die in canon does so, but I'm fine with characters dying in different ways than how they died in canon as long as the fic is clearly tagged so that I know what I'm getting into. I care a lot less about this for antagonist characters. Kill the Archon however you want and I won't blink, but please give me clear warning for an alternate Alec Ryder death. There's also probably antagonists who didn't die in canon that I'm fine dying in a fic, but defining exactly where the antagonist line lies is hard so probably double check on those.
• Permanent requested major character death (even if canon): I don't want any of the requested characters to be dead at the end of the fic. I don't want a pre-death fic that very blatantly references or leads into the start of the plotline of the eventual canon character death. (If the line isn't deliberately meant to remind of the death, then you're probably fine! The amount I care about references to a canon death that's definitely going to happen is directly related to how justified/proportionate/quick the death was, so don't worry about it for Shi Wu Du but do worry about it for Su Xiyan)

• Related things to the character death DNWs that are totally okay!: Focus on grief. Character mistakenly thinking someone is dead or grieving for a temporarily dead character. Grief for a not-in-the-pairing character who is canonically temporarily dead and will not be resurrected within the fic. Fic where the canonically dead character is dead for most of the fic as long as they're alive by the end of the fic. Dead character comes back as a corporeal ghost ala TGCF or a similar "Basically alive with fancy powers" sort of undead. Pre-death fic that doesn't very blatantly reference or lead into the canonical character death plotline. Pre-death fic that leads into/directly references canonical death plot but clearly sets up a divergence even if the characters don't realize the significance at the time. Time travel/Peggy Sue fixit where the canonically dead character definitely died in the last timeline but they're averting it this time. Canon divergence dealing directly with the canon death plotline. Not mentioning the temporarily dead character during a canon divergence, as long as it isn't implied the divergence will keep them dead.

• Common DNW that is totally okay for me: Unrequested background pairings are fine! Just don't hit a DNW and make sure the requested pairing is clearly the main focus of the fic. The characters within the pairing having past relationships with unnamed characters or past canon relationships with named characters is also fine.
