Once upon a fic exchange
Feb. 18th, 2020 12:36 amI'm Gammarad on ao3.
Requests:
DNWs:
▪ noncon or dubcon under age 20
▪ anything sexual under age 16
Frog Prince (link to source)
Prompts:
A retelling where the girl is set on keeping the frog and the parents are the ones who don't want the pet - he talks only to her and they think he's an ordinary frog. And they make friends.
A Harriet the Hamster Princess version or crossover (see the cute books by Ursula Vernon)
A modern day setting where it's a cat instead of a frog and the girl doesn't like cats (but grows to like this one).
A modern day or anytime since the 1970s where she's an adult and it's her roommates making her keep her promises to the weird creature that saved her (wallet, important job-related object, heirloom, whatever). This one can have creepy sexual advances from the creature that she ends up wanting to reciprocate.
I'd rather not have her be a child and then a fiancee; either have her be an adult in altered circumstances, have her be a somewhat immature late teen in the more traditional take, or have the enchanted friend be more platonicly affectionate.
Feel free to make the enchanted frog (cat, whatever creature or animal you end up with) person any gender.
The Groac'h (link to source)
Prompts:
Why is the Groac'h doing this? She's rich, why does she want all these people to marry her and then be turned into fish and frogs? Let's make the answer is something unexpected that makes her more sympathetic?
What if the Groac'h was really in love with the first husband Korandon (he's not really dead, he's a fish like the rest) and he cheated on her? So she's somehow replaying the pattern by talking men who are promised to others into cheating with her? Maybe turning him back into a person and having him do something to make it up to her would be an alternate solution.
A Harriet Hamsterbone version of this story might be possible .. crossover idea (see Ursula Vernon's Hamster Princess series)
After Houarn and Bellah turn all those people back into humans, they give them farms. How do they feel about this, being poor farmers when the latecomers get all the riches? Is there resentment, or is it all gratitude? What if one of them who feels nothing but gratitude marries a person who resents Houarn and Bellah on their spouse's behalf and tries to get (in spouse's name, of course) a fairer share?
Yuki-onna (link to wikipedia article)
Prompts:
Someone who goes through the trial of the yukionna and becomes very strong by managing to hold onto the snow-child through the night. They feel they've lost something in the process, something touch based or emotional probably, though they gained more than they lost. Either a story about them dealing with the aftermath of the event, or, a story about them re-encountering the yukionna much later and asking after what they lost.
A yukionna who is a trapped moon princess falls in love with a mortal woman and tries to figure out what to do about it. Maybe she pretends to be human, or tries to lure her beloved into the snow? Some kind of happy result or at least a bittersweet one results.
A folklorist goes looking for the origins of the yuki-onna stories and finds something out they didn't expect.
Inanna's Descent (Inanna) (link to source)
Prompts:
Clearly something is going on there at the end but it's not especially clear. I think it's something to do with her being angry that the shepherd was acting like a rich guy even though she was in the underworld - her people are supposed to be sad she's there and mourning visibly! The other ones were. She gave him to the spooky guys for vengeance, and then something about her husband. I looked it up - Dumuzid is her husband and god of the shepherds.
Option a - Dumuzid didn't escape the spooky guys, they took him to the underworld and Inanna regretted it, that's why she's crying about him. He's in an underworld tavern and she ends up making a deal where she can have him back half the year in return for someone's sister taking the other half of the year as their replacement for her being able to leave.
Option b - he escaped them with his snake hands and feet and went to a mortal bar. She was sad for a while but when she found out he wasn't in the underworld at all, just having drinks and partying it up in her absence *again*, she got mad and dragged him back to be her replacement in the underworld after all. (not sure how the 6 months and sister fits this version, I'm sure you'll think of something, or just ignore that part, however it works)
Separate prompt: there's a thing about a sister. Whose sister is it? Hers or Dumuzid's? Is the sister basically the equivalent of Persephone and ends up marrying the god of the underworld? Because it sounds like Inanna is making a deal that she'll have to be there 6 months of every year...
PS: I researched it more and it seems like Inanna's sister already was the goddess of the underworld, and it was to get at her that she went in the first place? This is a back story you can use or ignore, however you like.
