Fandom Specific DNW
Ultraviolet - Vilification of Kirsty and Michael or Jack's relationship with her

The Expanse - Requested characters being the victim of sexual assault or rape
Gunpowder Milkshake - Requested characters being the victim of sexual assault or rape
Gunpowder Milkshake
Anna May (Gunpowder Milkshake)
Scarlet (Gunpowder Milkshake)
Lena Headey and Angela Bassett are both on my watch anything for them list. So when I heard they were starring in a film together, and that it'd be an action thriller with gun toting badass librarians, it was like the film gods had smiled down and come up with a film that was designed just for me.
I can't stress enough how much I love this film, the visuals and the characters are amazing, and I honestly would be thrilled with anything at all that gives me more Anna May and Scarlet together. I do ship them, but if smut or romance aren't your thing, I'd be equally happy to see them working together or coming together as family. Pre or post canon stories that expand on their relationship would be great
Prompts
Pre canon, we know the Librarians took Scarlet in when her husband died, how did she change living with them? How did her relationship with Anna May begin? Did she work for the Firm before her husband's death, or was it at the library she got her start.
When Scarlet had to leave we know she kept watch over Sam, was she watching Anna May too? Were there letters she never sent, or calls she never made. Maybe she did more than watch, perhaps intervening when they were in trouble. Did Anna May know she was watching?
For Anna May, how was it losing Scarlet? Did she look for her, or was she resigned to having lost her forever. Did she push Sam away or did the Firm keep Sam from them, being another loss she had to bear?
After the bullets stop flying and they've gotten away from the Firm, what happens next? The urgency is done with, so now they're not fighting for their lives how do they rebuild their relationship? Will Anna May trust Scarlet to stay, or will Scarlet have to fight to get Anna May to let her in?
Is civilian life something any of them can cope with, can they fit in with regular people, or will they misss the adrenalin rush? Maybe one of them's sneaking off to take jobs, or they're using their assassin skills on unsuspecting annoying neighbours.
Ultraviolet
Mike Colefield
Jack Beresford
Vaughan Rice
I fell hard for this show back when it first aired, and in the years since I've rewatched it countless times and love it just as much everytime I do.
I picked Michael, Jack and Vaughan, but if you've got an idea that focuses on just one or two of them, I'm happy to not have them all included. I ship Michael/Jack and Michael/Vaughan, but will be just as happy to get gen that focuses on their relationships.
I love the scientific take on both the vampires (code-v's) and their plans for world domination, and the mix of science and religion from the other side. They've got uv grenades to blow up the vampires and an array of modern weapons, but have a priest as their head and are funded by the vatican. The mix of folklore and science and how it's intergrated into the modern world is really interesting. Michael's struggle to find a balance between stopping the vampire's big plans while also not wanting to embrace the ruthlessness of the squad can't go on forever, will he have to eventually pick one side?
Prompts
So post canon, Michael's pissed off everyone. The squad aren't happy that he resurrected any vampire. The vampires can't be too happy to get stuck with a resurrected Jack instead of Robert March, and Kirsty's mad as hell. So where does he go from here? Will he keep working with the squad, or will they shut him out leaving him vulnerable to the vampires in general, or will he and Jack try to find a third way?
Future fic where the vampires get control, Michael and Vaughan working as the last of the human resistance, or having to cope with essentially being nothing but property and food to the vampires.
Vaughan and Jack fighting over Michael's soul (or his body) him not knowing which way to turn, he doesn't want to lose either of them, but knows neither of them can be fully trusted.
Vaughan realising that Angie stopped him from shooting Michael because she'd thought it was her husband being resurrected, does that betrayal get him to look for other options? With a dying Harman questioning his faith, what if one or more of them switch sides? Would Michael or Vaughan follow them over? Perhaps trting to change the vampire's plans from within.
The Expanse
Chrisjen Avarasala
Cammina Drummer
While I love this show in it's entirety, the two characters who really hold my heart are Chrisjen Avasarala and Cammina Drummer. With this request I'm happy to get fic focused on just one or the other, though having them together would be wonderful.
They are both incredibly strong women in different ways. And I'd love to see them either clash or have to work together against a greater threat.
Crisjen's ability to navigate the political arena at the highest level and adapt to the everchanging threats is phenomenal, how do she feel when she's alone, does she regret some of the choices she's had to make? How did she get to the top? Did she have dreams beyond carrying on her family's political dynasty?
Cammina's integrity and the way she absolutely owns her choices, good and bad make her a fascinating character. Her love and loyalty are hard won, but she'll go to war for her people. Where does her new family go from here?
Prompts
I'm up to date on canon, so no worries about spoilers. With a canon this cast I'm happy to see any part of it expanded on, pre or post canon, missing scenes, or canon divergent au's are all great.
I do ship Chrisjen/Cammina, and if you come up with an idea that throws them into the same space or indeed the same bed I'd be thrilled. Beyond that, while I don't mind mentions of their canon ships I'd rather they not be the focus.
Show me Chrisjen negotiating new treaties or bringing the unlikeliest of allies together. Perhaps she has to sneak away on another secret mission, bringing her to Cammina's space, or maybe needing Cammina's help to get where she needs to be.
Cammina negotiating for her people, the two of them standing across a negotiating table, both unrelenting in their need to protect their own.
Cammina choosing her next path, what does she want, and will that be the best choice for keeping her new family safe. Will she reunite with Naomi, or set that part of her past aside in order to solidify her new family.
Honestly anything at all that celebrates one or both of them will be just fantastic.
Blackpool
Ripley Holden
Peter Carlisle
I love this show a truly ridiculous amount, I've watched the DVDs more times than I can count. I love the music, and the surreal dance numbers, and everything about the Blackpool setting.
I don't mind if you include Viva Blackpool canon, or choose to stick with just the original show.
From the monent Ripley and Peter launched into "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" I began to crave fic for them. Everything about their relationship interests me, their obsessions with bringing each other down, their need to prove themselves the bigger and better. The mixture of antagonism, and the way they can't seem to stay away from each other just makes me want to know more.
I do ship them, but if you don't, then I'm fine with gen that focuses on their relationship. I love the push and shove nature of their relationship, how neither of them will ever give an inch.
Prompts
Getting together fic that starts with them drowning their sorrows after the events in the finale, they're horrified when they sober up, but it just keeps happening.
Soneone bigger and badder than Ripley comes to town, and they grudgingly have to team up to take the newcomer down.
Peter finally wins and gets Ripley locked up, but realises things are a lot less interesting without Ripley, so he starts visiting him in jail. Or he leverages his win to have Ripley as an informant, so everyone thinks Ripley's doing business as usual, but behind closed doors Peter's in charge.
Ripley gets something big over Peter and tricks or blackmails him into working together, how does Peter take to the dark side? Does he keep fighting, or does he start to enjoy being under Ripley's control
