The Black Magician Universe request is for fic or art, and the other requests are only for fic.

Contact via the mod is welcome if you'd like further clarification about anything!

IF Likes:



I use Windows 7 and Apple mobile devices. Most of my experience is with choice games--for example, like Alabaster, The Book of Guenevere, Affairs of the Court, visual novels like Oxenfree and Cinders, dating sims like Long Live the Queen and Magical Diary , and paper books where you turn to a page for every choice--but I’d be delighted with a parser game too. Puzzles, mazes, and timers aren’t a strength of mine, so I would enjoy a walkthrough if those are present.

Black Magician Universe - Trudi Canavan



Sonea (Black Magician Universe)

Art
Fic


This is a series of seven books with several hundred pages each. Only the two trilogies include the character in this request, although you can use material from the prequel for worldbuilding if you like. For this canon, you can read the first trilogy or both it and the sequel trilogy; I'd be happy with works based on either time period!

I love this determined, no-nonsense girl-then-woman who pushes boundaries, and I love that she's also someone who chooses to be empathic, to see people as people. It was fun seeing her develop from seeing herself as powerless in the Guild--even with her strong magic--to finding ways to use her power, both to take care of herself and to realize her goals. She's always pushing herself in a hard situation, and she struggles with hopelessness, and she's earnest and funny. I'd enjoy seeing something from between the last chapter and epilogue of The High Lord, with her processing her loss and trying to situate herself in her new place as the Guild's black magician, and starting her work to get to heal in the slums. Or later, what she felt about discovering her pregnancy and how she felt leading up to when she told Jonna and Rothen. I'd also enjoy a magic lesson we didn't see from that time (or earlier in the books), or something from the later years of her charity and advocating for people, or raising Lorkin with Rothen and Jonna's help, or getting back from Sachaka at the end of The Traitor Queen. An alternate ending to The High Lord in which she's still got Akkarin (and how she'd get to realize her goal to help the people of the slums in that situation.)

For something specifically art-related: Sonea healing someone, Sonea being run after by children like in the THL epilogue, her sitting under a tree reading (by herself or with someone else), holding Lorkin when he was a child, sleeping with the kid.

For ships if you'd like to include any: I'd be happy to see her with any of the men she was involved with, or f/f. Savara comes to mind, but if you lean towards someone else I'd be interested!



Romeo x Juliet (Anime)



Juliet Fiammatta Arst de Capulet (Romeo x Juliet)

Fic


I really enjoy the contrast between Juliet being driven on her own to go defend people on an individual level, something she does regularly, and being shaken by the sudden (for her) expectations placed upon her as the avenger of her family, which seems to be traumatic to some degree (along with the bloodshed in the first half of the show.) It's interesting to watch her go from being reactive to combining these sides of herself, Capulet heir and the Whirlwind, to create change. I'd love to see other instances of her having been the Red Whirlwind, or learning to swordfight, or missing scenes (like more from the journey to Mantua, just to give an example), an acting session with Emilia or hairbrush session with Cordelia. Giving one of her speeches. An alternate ending in which Ophelia needs love and good stewardship instead of a body and soul sacrifice. Or, hey, steampunk Neo-Verona.

For ships if you'd like to include any: I like canon, but I also like her with Tybalt, Emilia, Cordelia--and she's a bit of a little black dress for me, so if your heart takes you elsewhere I'd be interested to see it!



The Spellsong Cycle - L. E. Modesitt Jr.



Anna (Spellsong Cycle)
Secca (Spellsong Cycle)

Fic


This is a series of five books with several hundred pages each. For this canon, you can read the first trilogy or both it and the sequel trilogy; I'd be happy with works based on either time period! The first book can also stand alone, so it applies there too.

Anna (Spellsong Cycle)

Anna dealing with the many things she doesn't know about this world she landed in, navigating it through her life experience as a music professor, wife, and mom on Earth, and finding she can make her life meaningful despite all she's lost in getting there, is an arc I enjoy. It'd be great to see something from in between books one and two or two and three, or in the gap between the third and fourth books. Maybe five times she learned something surprising about Liedwahr or Erde or the way magic works? Handling diplomacy through a letter? Or writing to Elizabetta, or teaching Secca. Secca knows about Earth songs not really being magic; I'd love to see Anna talk to her about it. That's two different but similar relationships to music, between two sorceress musicians. I'd also like to see her studying, perhaps planning some new bridge or building, or with Jecks. Or, what if she'd been someone by someone other than Daffyd and Jenny, perhaps to another land entirely?

If you'd like to include any ships, I like her and Jecks!

Secca (Spellsong Cycle)

Secca navigating her feelings around Anna and her legacy is something I really like and would be happy to see more of. She frequently thinks that she didn't listen enough, or ask enough questions; how about five times she didn't pursue a topic despite feeling curious, or five things she later wishes she'd thought to ask about? Or her training--I'd love to see her first attempt at scrying, or building something, or assassinating someone. Personal conversations and moments with Anna while she was alive, or thinking about her after all the books are over and she's ruling Defalk in her own right would also be welcome, along with her teaching Richina, or having a pleasant moment with Alcaren. Teaching new students that come from other lands, as the end of the books suggested would happen, and managing the politics of the situation, maybe comparing it to her own memories of being fostered in Falcor with the other children.

If you'd like to include any ships, I like her and Alcaren!



Again, thanks for coming over and giving this your time; may your exchange experience be fun!
