The Dragon Prince
Callum, Rayla, Ezran

I know there isn't a whole lot available for this series as far as canon goes, but it still has so much potential I have a lot of feelings! I'd just like to see some ideas expanded on, some conversations that should have perhaps been had that weren't. I'm specifically looking for gen here, no pairings please.

Why is Rayla On This Mission
So here's a potential worldbuild/rewrite: why the heck is an untested, unblooded, child on this incredibly important ASSASSINATION except because 'the plot needed her to be'. Why on earth would her 'test' be immediately before the actual attempt, while on the way to such, and done without anyone observing? I really like hitmen and stories about assassin cultures so this stands out to me. Maybe instead of 'being the best of them' there's something more to it - a chance to reclaim family honor and standing? What if what her parents did did more than simply shames them - it harms them? Is she fighting for her own life? Her family? Her social standing? Theirs? Come up with some reason why Runaan - who has been rather sensible otherwise - brought her along and likewise thought she'd stay put. I don't have Runaan as a character nominated but if you want to write from his POV about her, that's ok in my books. I just don't want to list him when this is the only perspective I'd be interested in. This would be amazing for some worldbuilding about what makes an entire class of elves assassins. 

Callum and Ezran's Fight
This fight makes no sense? It really bothered me when I watched it - Callum has been pretty supportive and loving to his brother for this entire series and yet all of a sudden turns into a hard ass jerk who calls his little brother a liar about understanding animals. Except this makes no sense - they have been together for years, they are clearly very close, Callum should know this to be true, even if the first proof didn't 'work'. The fight exists so that there is manufactured tension in this episode and I just... nope. It's silly. So instead how about tackling a scene where Callum does know? How does he convince the others?  Or a flashback maybe about when Callum comes around to believing it? Ezran says he started noticing he understood animals 'a few years ago', and we also see he's a well loved kid. It's hard to believe a 6-8 year old could hide this secret from his brother he rooms next to - but maybe he had reason to hide it from others? How have they used it to their advantage before - have they played pranks on others? Just using this as a base to expand on their shared history would be nice.

Rayla and the bands/ Callum and the King's death / Callum's initial subterfuge
Callum is a smart kid. I feel like he knows the king is dead by the time they are on their journey - maybe he has a faint hope, but he knows it's foolish. Once the chaos over Ezren and the ice settles, I'd love him and Rayla to have a conversation about that, and about the band she's still wearing and the one that's gone. 
Likewise Callum realizing that even if Rayla had killed him when they first met, it wouldn't have saved Ezran per se - because her band wouldn't have been removed. She would have recognized the lie. 
And for Rayla, that realization coupled with how quickly Callum gave himself up - how would she have felt if she'd murdered the wrong person, on her quest for validation?
Or: What if Azymondias hadn't taken the band off? Obviously this would be an alternate take but... what then? How does Rayla handle the increasing disability? What are the side effects? When she loses the hand, what then? (What if Azymondias took off her hand, instead of the band?) And how do Callum and Ezran handle it?


Ezran and the ice / survival
I LOVE SURVIVAL STORIES. You have any interest in writing hypothermia/caretaking/hunting? Go for it. I'd love to see some serious look at how these kids are really surviving. Rayla hunting/feeding/being far more capable in the woods than they are. Does Rayla know how to handle a fall through icewater? Or is it something Callum learned at the winter cabin? I'd love to see the fall not be handwaved away but be something that needs to be seriously dealt with. (It would also be interesting if Corvus caught up with them and realized the boys are there willingly? It seems so odd that he's a tracker who can get so close and yet is apparently not listening to any of their conversations...)

This is a verse where there is still so much to be fleshed out, I'd just love to see your take on anything from the above. I'm really interested in feelings about family and togetherness and survival (and self sacrifice and loss), and any worldbuilding you want to develop even if it's just 'here's some neat headcanon I have'.


good luck roomba witch - ofsparrows
any characters

Tell me about this world! Is magic commonplace? Is it hidden? If folks know, how could someone mess up on the whole 'you traded my car for a unicycle' thing? If not, how does magic co-exist in this world? How is roomba witch going to get around? Can any vacuum work? What happened to the vaccuum that was traded in - is it refurbished somewhere for someone unsuspecting to take a spin - how about the three of them on a hunt to keep someone's kid from being snagged by an unruly hoover? I'd love a lighthearted romp through this world, something that considers the hows and the whys of things. 
 

John Wick (Movie)
John Wick

I really really like hitmen, and I like seedy underground criminal worlds, and John Wick gives me both. Mind you, I'd love more! I don't have a ton of in depth pieces for this fandom, I just have some general ideas and prompts I'd love expanded on. 

WORLDBUILD: I will love just about anything that examines the world John Wick lives in: the coins, the clothes, the guns, the bars, how does it all *work*? When does it break down? How does it get fixed? How did it get started? Want to write just worldbuilding and skip John completely? I'm game! The thing I love about this flick is the world it happens in.

A few potential prompts:

John and his contacts! Who does he know, from where? I love the *respect* everyone has for him and what he was/is again.

John and his cars: I mean, it's clear he knows his wheels inside and out.

Who trained John? What was their relationship like? He had to learn the 'rules' somewhere.

John's (sex) life before his wife! (Porn optional) and or John's INTRODUCTION to the life as a hitman.

Bonus points for anything involving folks having that turnpin reaction of 'Oh. John. I'l... leave you be" due to his reputation. They're some of my favourite parts of the movie.

Want to write porn? I have a preference for m/m but that's not binding. What I'm more interested in the porn is power dynamics: age and experience gaps, service and loyalty ideas, commander/subordinate positions but not the abuse of power. "This is fucked up but we're both along for the ride" is great, "This is fucked up and I have to take it" is not. I hate to say 'look at someone else's letter' but if I could just copy and paste Karanguni's likes and porn list here, I would.  
(Seriously, I could not write my list better than that and you could take ONE of those points and run with it and I'd die of happiness)
