susiecarterFirst things first: YAY I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS EXCHANGE ZOMG :D! Second things second: this letter is very long! You absolutely DO NOT have to read it. This is only here to help you, so if it won't help or you're just going to be bored by it, by all means x away. Run with anything you're already thinking of or whatever you were turning over in the back of your mind when you signed up, and I will be SO EXCITED to see what that is! (And if you end up needing to default, THAT'S FINE. YOU'RE GREAT ANYWAY. ♥)
Neither one is much to look at, but I'm![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)

susiecarter on Tumblr. And if you're a comics fan, please don't worry too much about whether you're using/referencing "too much" comics canon for a DCEU exchange fic—I won't necessarily notice any really obscure references, but I have absolutely no problem with characters, backstory, or events from the comics (any run or timeline) showing up in my gift. :D
In General | Alfred/Diana | Antiope & Diana | Antiope & Hippolyta
Bruce/Clark | Bruce & Kryptonian Scout Ship | Bruce & Martha | Diana/Lois
I'm completely open to all kinds of content and all ratings (and I mean that, as in I love porn but would also be totally thrilled with G-rated gen!), and have no qualms about receiving a story that requires any of AO3's archive warnings. You can give me ANYTHING about these characters/relationships, and I will read it!
That said, if you're actively looking for guidance one way or another, I like suffering/violence/pain best when there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Really gratuitous gore or darkness doesn't particularly appeal to me.
BUT I promise I really am very flexible. :D I multiship and am interested in all kinds of relationships I didn't request, so any background characters or pairings (or threesomes/moresomes) you want to include are completely fine with me. If a prompt I've come up with for art strikes you as a good starting place for a vignette, by all means roll with it; and if an idea I've mentioned for a fic makes you feel like drawing something, go for it!
And I'm here for every possible genre, AU, trope, cliché, or style—ones you love and always enjoy, ones you want to experiment with, or anywhere in between! Interested in designing a steampunk version of someone's uniform, or stark light vs shadow when you usually shade gradually? WOO YAY. Want to write a coffeeshop AU with soulbonding in second person? I'M THERE. Anything silly or weird or cool, anything you're really interested in but you think no one else is going to like—seriously, GIVE IT TO ME. *grabby hands* I WANT TO SEE IT. A thousand words in future perfect continuous! Your idea of the ultimate faux-pop-art superhero poster! ONE CHARACTER'S ACTUALLY A ROBOT. DADAISM. Whatever it is, DO THE THING. :D \o/
Enjoy yourself and make something you're happy with! AND HAVE A FANTASTIC DCEU-EX. ♥

Oh, look, one of my favorite rarepairs in the world! :D I love Alfred/Diana a totally ridiculous amount, and I will happily consume any fanwork you feel moved to create about the two of them, because ALFRED. DIANA. ♥ ♥ ♥ They're both so thoughtful and composed, and I love the idea that the one thing that kind of gets through their composure in a way they're not expecting is each other. GOD THEY'RE SO GREAT.
So! Feel free to write me anything you like about Alfred and Diana—their first proper meeting in the movieverse, post-BvS (or a missing scene somewhere during BvS?), or working together post-movie to rescue Bruce or something (OH BRUCE). Alfred showing Diana how to work various Bat-gadgets during their downtime! Diana and Alfred exchanging weapon-care tips! FLIRTING RELENTLESSLY OVER MISSION RADIOS UNTIL BRUCE CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. :D Or porn! Alfred and Diana finally dealing with a buildup of crackling UST in spectacular fashion would be A++.
OR draw me anything you like about Alfred and Diana! :D Clothes porn is more than welcome—Alfred and his waistcoats and Diana and her dresses, hng. *_____* Any moment between them that you'd like to capture would be wonderful: a first kiss or accidental handholding while passing a cup of tea; escorting each other while undercover at a fancy party; back-to-back and surrounded by bad guys, in the instant before Diana kicks all their asses. :D ANYTHING.
Getting a truly wonderful Alfred/Diana gift last year has only made me want another, because ALFRED/DIANA :D, and since it worked so well and landed me such a great fic, I'm basically reusing my prompts! NO REGRETS.
Obviously it's easier to make this work post-BvS, in a lot of ways, but I wouldn't say no to a thousand words of BvS AU in the slightest—if Alfred accompanied Bruce to those parties where he met Diana, or if some sequence of events led to Diana ending up with Bruce's earpiece, exchanging secretive who-are-you and what-do-you-know probing banter with the dry British voice on the other end ... :D
And then of course there's immediately post-BvS; given that Diana was about to leave the city at the end of the movie, she presumably checked out of that hotel she was staying in—if you want to send her to the lake house with Bruce so she can meet Alfred, BE MY GUEST. (Of course Clark's death would put a damper on things, but just a quiet conversation over comforting tea with a hint of shippiness would 100% satisfy me!)
Feel free to use or disregard any of the JL trailers as you see fit! I am TOTALLY HERE for any sort of pre-JL shenanigans where Diana and Bruce are fighting miscellaneous crime together with Alfred's assistance; Alfred showing Diana around the Cave, or subtly taking over the care of her armor and weapons after missions (or thinking he's subtle about it, except she totally notices and is touched). And if you've seen Wonder Woman, by all means reference that backstory—I love Diana/Steve and would find a quietly emotional story where Diana opens up about him or the Amazons or anything to Alfred really satisfying. ♥
Or porn! :D I also love increasingly powerful attraction, a lot of lingering touching, and lbr, they're both presumably really comfortable with themselves, so I imagine they wouldn't have much in the way of hangups about sex. Yes, okay, Alfred isn't as young as he used to be; but I'm sure he's willing to bear the burden of getting Diana off as many times in a row as she likes. ;D
No need for anything overtly shippy, if you're worried about posing! My hand to god, I am equally here for Alfred and Diana looking at each other while their hands touch (for any reason—Alfred helping Diana fasten one of those fancy dresses! Both of them reaching for the teapot at once! Alfred helping Diana understand the ins and outs of modern technology by guiding her through taking a Bat-gadget apart and putting it back together!) or just, like, being in the same place at the same time. NOT PICKY AT ALL.
I will also accept the absolute fluffiest scene you can imagine: Alfred cooking with Diana leaning against the counter next to him; Alfred and Diana having morning tea on the roof of the lake house at sunrise; Diana reaching out to ask Alfred to dance. :D
If you prefer to draw something more active, SO HERE for Wonder Woman guarding a wounded Alfred—or Alfred at Diana's back, for that matter, with gadgetry/a couple borrowed batarangs/a good old-fashioned shotgun! Or, well, not so active again, but Alfred and Diana conferring over blueprints or displays in the Cave, poking holes in Bruce's plans. Seriously, anything!
... Porny art is also pre-approved. :D YOUR IMAGINATION IS THE LIMIT. At this point I love this ship so much that I find them both indescribably hot, and absolutely anything explicit will probably melt my face off, but I ACCEPT THAT.

Presumably if you're offering this you've seen Wonder Woman (or plan to) but JUST IN CASE I'll try to reserve spoilery things for my letter. SO. I love Diana and her entire backstory, and I'm so glad they decided to include Antiope in the movieverse! \o/ I am interested in ALL KINDS OF THINGS about Antiope and Diana, and how their relationship changes as Diana grows up. :D
I would love to read basically anything about Diana's childhood, and her interactions with Antiope when she's a girl—how often does she hang around Antiope? Does Antiope ever tell her stories about the history of the Amazons? (Might they turn out a little differently from the way Hippolyta tells them?) Or, of course, basically anything set as Diana trains and grows older—five pieces of advice Antiope gave her, and one she ended up giving Antiope? :D
OR draw me ALL OF THE AMAZON HANGOUTS, please and thank you! Armor porn = yes forever. Antiope picking up or cuddling a young sleepy Diana, oh, my heart, or facing off against Diana in training, or showing Diana how to care for Amazon armor and weapons. Climbing the cliffs together! Dancing some evening after a feast! ANYTHING.
So I saw Wonder Woman and I EFFING LOVED IT and was so thrilled with Antiope, I can't even begin to tell you. *___________*! I am 200% here for all the occasionally-thorny Amazonian family relationships, hot damn.
As noted, I'd adore anything set when Diana's a girl! I loved that whole sequence of her running around dodging her tutor because she wanted to go watch Antiope on the training grounds, haha, and I'd be delighted to see them interacting at other times. Antiope telling bb!Diana glorious Amazonian battle stories (and then getting in trouble with Hippolyta for it), or anything about how she decided it was time to start training Diana in secret, what finally made her take that last step and how she felt about deceiving Hippolyta (did it trouble her? Or was she certain it was worth it for Diana's sake?).
Or anything set a little later! In the lead-up to Diana's demonstration of power and the fight on the beach—exactly how much did Antiope know about Diana's abilities? Was she ever tempted to tell Diana everything, and never mind whether Hippolyta approved? You should also feel free to make me cry with deathfic + Diana's perspective on Antiope after she's gone. Or, of course, write me a thousand words of the AU where the bullet misses, and Antiope ends up insisting on going with Diana when she leaves ... :D
I'd also be delighted with ALL SORTS of post-movie no-death AUs, if that's something you're into! Or fix-its—might Diana go questing to the underworld to retrieve Antiope? (Or to retrieve Steve, except she runs into/gets help from Antiope's shade along the way?) If Antiope had only been injured, then she'd be there if Diana returned to Themyscira post-movie—what would Diana tell her about what had happened? (Would Diana give the tiara back to her? ♥ SO MANY MENTORSHIP FEELINGS)
(I love Antiope & Diana a lot, but to be perfectly frank I also ship it, despite the whole aunt/niece thing. /o\ Especially in a way where Antiope has feelings she is ruthlessly controlling/restraining, for an oblivious adult Diana. So if you have any interest in that angle whatsoever, I have ZERO OBJECTIONS to going there. Just FYI. :D)
I love love love the idea of Antiope, Amazonian general, slayer of monsters and all-around badass, letting a tiny Diana boss her around! So Diana riding around on Antiope's shoulders waving a little stick-sword, or Antiope long-sufferingly carrying her back to the keep from wherever she was out in the fields when she fell asleep, or helping her braid her hair—anything like that would be delightful and adorable and I'd absolutely eat it up.
Or! If you're interested in something a little more active, anything about them facing off against each other or Antiope teaching Diana a particular move or skill would be fantastic. :D Grinning at each other over crossed swords! The first time Diana manages to shoot a bullseye! Climbing, or practicing hand-to-hand, or trick-riding!
Or, of course, motion is not required at all—portraits of either or both of them? Sitting together during downtime, no armor in sight, watching the sun set from up on the cliffs? SOMETHING TERRIBLE AND SAD where Diana is clutching Antiope's body on the beach? ;A; ANYTHING.

Saving spoilery thoughts and prompts for my letter, HOW MUCH DID I LOVE THIS RELATIONSHIP IN WONDER WOMAN? :D :D :D SO VERY VERY MUCH. Antiope and Hippolyta were both amazing, and there is SO MUCH the movie didn't explore about the two of them and their lives—I would like all of it, please!
So write me anything you like about Antiope and Hippolyta at basically any point! Pre-movie, as girls growing up together a very, very long time ago? When the Amazons first came to Themyscira? How has their sisterly relationship changed over time? What have they argued about, and how have they supported or taken care of each other? 1k of the early sections of the movie from either of their POVs would honestly be awesome. :D
Or, of course, I would love to see absolutely anything with them that you want to show me! The two of them sparring or wrestling when they're younger, or charging into battle together—or brushing each other's hair, talking late at night, laughing together. :D Swinging tiny Diana between them, with one of her hands in each of theirs! GO WILD.
Oops, repeating myself: WONDER WOMAN DELIGHTED ME TO THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL, and one of the things I loved the most about the first third or so of the movie was how much history, familiarity, and tension I could read into basically every exchange between these two. :D
I would love love love absolutely anything you'd like to tell me about these two pre-canon—growing up as sisters among the Amazons and training together; the beginning, middle, or end of the Amazon rebellion; relocating to Themyscira and building something new as two different kinds of leader—ANYTHING AT ALL. :D
And! I'd also love anything that chose to delve a little deeper into some of the montage-y sections early in the movie. I am a huge fan of women who are extremely competent in particular areas disagreeing with each other about stuff! So their clash over how/whether to train Diana, and Antiope pursuing the matter even though she's perfectly well aware Hippolyta won't like it, made me SO HAPPY. They know each other so well and care about Diana so much and disagree so distinctly on what's best—a thousand words of them arguing about it after the first time Diana runs off to watch the training fields would just be gold.
If you wanted to AU away Antiope's death, I would LOVE to see Hippolyta helping her recover (is Antiope a terrible patient? I BET SHE IS), with the lingering unresolved messiness of Diana having left still in the air ... Or, of course, feel free to make me cry with 1k of Hippolyta after the beach, her sister dead and her daughter about to go/already gone, and how she handles it all. ;_;
(To be perfectly frank, I ship this also; if you happen to feel the same way, that's great and I have absolutely no problem with any incestuous Amazonian feelings that might happen to creep into your fic! If you don't, THAT'S GREAT TOO. I'M HERE FOR THE &, AT THE END OF THE DAY. :D)
Anything with these two as girls would be absolutely delightful—training together and growing up as Amazons (was Antiope always more martially-inclined? I can imagine Hippolyta reading scrolls or practicing elocution—generals have to be able to speak clearly!—while Antiope's beating up a training dummy in the background ... :D), running around together or falling asleep with their shields still on their arms. ANYTHING.
Or anything with them a little older! If you found that expository montage visually interesting, feel free to give me ALL of the two of them on horses with their swords raised in rebellion, because I thought that bit was AWESOME. :D I would ALSO hugely enjoy something super-fluffy with Diana as a baby or a little girl, being held or carried, or a smirky Hippolyta passing her to an Antiope who's not 100% sure what to do with her ("... this is not a sword. ???").
OR MAKE ME SAD. Give me your vision of Amazonian funerary rites—Hippolyta standing over Antiope's dead body on a pyre, or over her memorial! Or keep it simple and stationary any other way you like: a portrait of either or both (and if you love doing fiddly detailed things like lavish armor, GO WILD! If you don't, feel absolutely free to keep this just faces, or much simpler outfits and just torsos! WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU).

Man, I love this pairing a truly ridiculous amount! They're just such a fantastic study in contrasts, on the surface—Clark so good-natured, just wanting to do the right thing, and Bruce all jaded and not sure there IS a right thing—and yet also so fundamentally similar underneath, with all the stubbornness and righteous anger and uncertainty. I would watch them learn to understand each other SO MANY TIMES, SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. *clutches chest*
SO. I'll read basically anything you want to tell me about Bruce and Clark. :D Tropey, fluffy, angsty, full-on porn to pre-slash so mild you're afraid it might come off like gen—seriously, I'M THERE. Want to stick to BvS canon and write about Bruce's post-movie feelings after watching Clark get buried? Or Clark at the party, annoyed with Bruce (and also maybe repressing some attraction)? YES. Want to wander off into what you think could happen when Clark comes back to life (seriously, there are never too many takes on this), or some vague half-movie half-comics space where they're working together so you can write h/c or amnesia or a time loop? ALSO YES. EVERY YES IN THE WORLD.
Or! Feel free to draw me basically anything that springs to mind. A portrait of either or both, or the two of them doing pretty much whatever you like—from staring at each other irritatedly to banging, in uniform or out of it (;D), or anywhere in between! And that goes for mood; put Bruce at Clark's grave (or give me an AU with Clark at Bruce's?), or show me Superman delivering a Valentine personally, or Clark Kent backed up in an alley with Batman a little too close! WHATEVER YOU WANT MOST TO DO WILL BE GREAT. :D
THIS SHIP. I'd expected going into BvS that I would come out of it with this ship, even if I had to do a lot of handwaving to make it work—and then I didn't have to handwave a goddamn thing and fell all over myself for it. OH BRUCE. OH CLARK. ♥ So, yeah, guaranteed to enjoy any Bruce/Clark work you end up generating! And last year's prompts netted me a lovely piece of art, so I'm sticking with what works. :D
I am open to a thousand words of absolutely any fix-it AU you can come up with for BvS—where Clark and Bruce meet earlier or later, Clark Kent sent to interview Bruce Wayne or Superman taking it on himself to go to Gotham and find Batman BEFORE Luthor kidnaps Martha, where they get to talk to each other for just that extra five minutes it would have taken to get their shit straight. Where the World's Greatest Detective actually tried to figure out whether Superman had been framed in Nairomi! Or took steps to keep Zod's body out of Lex's hands! YOU COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL, BRUCE.
That said? Also totally open to rolling around in aaaaaaaaall the Bruce angst, post-movie, about how he ~could have done better, Clark might still be alive if he had, moping around all over Clark's grave. /o\ There is a GREAT prompt on the kinkmeme about Bruce keeping Clark's damaged suit in a glass case like the one he keeps Jason's uniform in—I'm not the OP of the prompt, but if you wanted to run with that I would LOVE it.
Both of those things said? Also 100% here for anything you want to set post-BvS OR sort of in a handwavey space outside the movieverse/partway between the movieverse and the comics. Any totally tropey mission scenario you want to write about, either of them injured in a fight or drugged somehow and needing care or acting in a revealing way, or undercover-as-gay to investigate some criminal undertaking, or identity porn that ignores the movie reveals. Amnesia! Truth spells! Threatening one to manipulate the other! JOIN ME IN CLICHÉVILLE.
A thousand words of PWP is good, too. ;D If there's any kink in particular you're dying to write for these two, feel free, and I'm equally thrilled about sweet, affectionate sex, hatesex, and rough buddyfucking where everyone's trying not to feel anything.
I know I'm requesting this as a ship, but seriously, no need to angst about whether whatever you choose to do is shippy enough—both of them in the same image doing basically anything is good enough for me! Them fighting each other, either in earnest or as practice (because once they're working together post-movie, of course, Bruce considers it a problem that so many of his traps were able to surprise Clark). Clark helping Bruce out by lifting the Batmobile and flying it around, with Bruce grumpily seated inside! Clark Kent sitting across a desk from Bruce Wayne with a tape recorder for an interview. :D WHATEVER, I'M EASY.
If you want to go a little bit more abstract, there's so much symbolism and duality to this pairing that it's kind of ridiculous: day/night, light/dark, Clark's primary colors to Bruce's black/grayscale chiaroscuro ... Or go literal with angel!Clark and devil!Bruce, for that matter! (I'm sure Bruce would agree with this portrayal.)
If you want to go more shippy, of course, that's fantastic—I will never ever get tired of looking at these beautiful idiots kissing each other or holding each other, suited-up or civilian or halfway in between! Just Bruce taking off Clark's Kent glasses, as the prelude to kissing him, would probably kill me dead of joy. :D Cradling or wrapping people up in capes is always good, and of course if your porn muse happens to stop by, NO NEED TO RESIST. I have no preference as to top/bottom or sex acts or anything, so please, please indulge yourself. ;D

I realize there's not a tremendous amount of canon to go on here, so I want to say right up front: I'm here for basically any take on the scout ship that you want to run with! I'm fascinated by the change from the Jor-El interface/program in MoS to what seems to be the "default" settings with the female voice in BvS, and by the way Lex talks it into doing what he wants—and I tend to headcanon it as having some degree of "awareness", but you can go with any level of AI complexity that appeals to you!
I'm imagining this will probably end up being a post-BvS fic (unless you'd like to AU things, of course!), and IIRC at that point the scout ship's still sitting in Metropolis, possibly with a hole in it where Doomsday punched his way out. Presumably after what Lex did with it, Bruce doesn't want anyone else getting inside and making monsters out of it—does he manage to get Wayne Enterprises control over the effort to study it? Does he sneak in as Batman and fly it back to Antarctica? Does he intend to do one or both but just end up talking to it (asking it what IT wants, even)? Once he realizes there is an AI/control system, is he angry with it for doing what Lex asked it to? Seriously, there are so many ways that interaction could go!
OR I would love to see Bruce (and/or Batman), in or on or interacting with the scout ship basically any way at all. In the room from MoS, facing one of those three-dimensional displays it does? About to shoot one of its little security drone thingies in the face? Sitting in the genesis chamber at the edge of that good old creepy pool with his head in his hands? Or even just Batman at night, standing on top of it in the middle of Metropolis, because he's looking out for it and the city both in Superman's absence? ANYTHING. :D
My affection for the scout ship is strange and persistent and I'm powerless in the face of it! I just want more people to interact with it, one way or another. THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING. :D
I was trying to keep my signup a reasonable length, but seriously, don't feel like you have to make this post-BvS! If Bruce had been paying closer attention during MoS, would he have picked up on chatter about the ship's discovery in Antarctica, or about the Planet sending Lois there? Might he have decided to check it out before Lois and Clark managed to get there—or at the same time? Or might he have been able to find it again, after Clark has moved it but before it ends up in Metropolis for the big MoS showdown? Or during BvS, even; once he'd decided Superman was a threat, might he have tried to get into the ship as a way of gathering intel on Kryptonians? (Could he have taken command of it then, so Lex couldn't do it later?)
But post-BvS would be great, too! :D As I mentioned in my signup, it makes sense to me that Bruce would have a LOT of problems with the ship staying where it is, and would try to come up with a way to make sure it didn't—if that makes sense to you, too, I'd love to see your take on what he does about it! There are all kinds of things I'd love to see wrt Bruce and the ship—Bruce being angry with the ship (especially if the ship mentions Lex having convinced it to override protocol), Bruce being sad at the ship (especially if he finds himself more comfortable expressing himself to it than to anybody else; it's just a ship! It's like he's yelling at a wall, it doesn't mean anything), Bruce kind of sort of making friends with the ship ...
If you ship it (and no worries if you don't!) then Bruce/Clark on the side would be A++, by the way—if you are at all interested in writing the weird twisty grieving/pining fic where Bruce discovers the ship has enough scans of Clark to approximate/project his likeness the way it did Jor-El's, PLEASE DO. :D I would also be psyched for any Bruce/Clark that might happen to peek around the edges of, say, Bruce coming to the ship to try to get the hole in Clark's uniform repaired, or Bruce belatedly trying to make up for his misjudgment by asking the ship about Krypton, the House of El, Clark's parents, etc. (Or, of course, feel free to have Bruce stumble into an unintended and ridiculous conversation about Kryptonian physiology and ... stamina. ;D)
I realize the difference in scale makes this kind of tough, haha, so for starters—no need to get the whole ship in the picture. :D I would love Batman staring down one of those security bots it has, or just being onboard somewhere; being shown something with its weird unforming/reforming displays from MoS, or even just exploring it—pausing for a second to run a gloved hand along the wall, or standing in the corridor staring down at the pool in the genesis chamber.
And I realize I sort of made that sound like mostly Batman, but for the record I'd love Bruce interacting with the ship out of uniform, too—in some hypothetical post-movie future where he's comfortable enough or the ship is secure enough that he'd do that. (Kind of loving the idea that he might start visiting it post-movie to check up, and keep visiting it because it was Clark's and Bruce is a masochist. :D So him just sitting on one of its decks and brooding with his tie loosened—or looking at its projection of Clark, for that matter—would be absolutely lovely!)

Oh, look, another relationship with not a lot of canon to work from. /o\ :D Rest assured, I'm interested in all kinds of different takes on Bruce & Martha, so if there's any particular headcanon you have that you want to take for a spin, feel free! Basically I just love the idea of the two of them, the survivors of their families, managing to connect with each other one way or another. ♥
I'm equally here for Martha knowing Bruce is Batman or not knowing Bruce is Batman—or for 1k of her learning it, for that matter! Might Bruce have helped her get Clark's body back to Kansas? Would he keep visiting her afterward, trying vainly to make up for what he almost did to her son—or would he steer scrupulously clear out of guilt, and then run into her accidentally in Metropolis (because she's come for the last of Clark's things)? Or would he stick to visiting Clark's grave, and run into her there?
And of course that holds for art! Feel free to draw me Martha and Batman or Martha and Bruce—or both, if you'd like to try Bruce in uniform with the cowl off. :D Martha and Bruce at Clark's grave together, or in the farmhouse; in Clark's room, even, or going through old family pictures. OR Martha and Batman—handwave the distance and have Batman checking up on Martha at the diner now and then, or just being a shadow on the roof over her as she locks up for the night!
I am predictable and constant in my love of this relationship, despite the VERY TINY amount of actual canonical interaction! Bruce as Bruce or Bruce as Batman, either way—Martha is so well-adjusted and seemingly normal in so many ways, and yet she's Superman's mom, so clearly she can handle whatever Batman can dish out in terms of weirdness. :D And half the point of BvS is how badly Bruce is dying for a mother figure! OH YOU GUYS. NOW HUG. And my thoughts from last time still apply, so HERE HAVE SOME RECYCLED PROMPTS :D
Post-movie is definitely easier here, but I would love a fork-in-the-road AU where Bruce, having figured out the secret identity thing in whatever way you like and in the process of doing research on this Clark Kent guy in preparation for killing Superman, goes to talk to Martha! Visiting outright? Pretending to be an ordinary tourist on a cross-country trip who's stopped in at the diner? Does he want to know more about Superman's origins? Does he think Superman must have mind-controlled this nice woman into thinking she's Clark Kent's mother, and then realize he's wrong? Does he just keep tabs on her, and then end up Batmanning to the rescue when Luthor's guys come for her? YOU DECIDE.
Basically all the post-movie Clark's-death angst is COMPLETELY WELCOME. I'm a sucker for fragile new beginnings after what feels like total devastation; so if you want to spend a thousand words on the two of them grieving together but also tentatively forming a new connection, that would probably destroy me. :D
And, I mean, that last bullet could apply to Bruce & Martha or Batman & Martha, but for the record, Batman & Martha would be FANTASTIC. Hell, identity porn would be great—Martha finding out that this nice Bruce Wayne guy who helped her get Clark's body transported back to Kansas is also Batman. Which, even if she never learned that Batman tried to kill Clark, she presumably knows Batman was there for his death (and maybe even that Clark disliked him, if Clark told her about that Batman exposé he wanted to write ...). Or Batman coming to find her, to explain all that and tell her he regrets it! D: OH BRUCE. OH MARTHA.
Oh, god, I'm repeating myself, but honestly anything you can come up with that puts Bruce or Batman and Martha in the same image would be a delight! As mentioned, them mourning together over Clark just kills me—standing together in the graveyard with flowers, Martha showing Bruce family photos, Martha and Bruce as the two lone survivors of their families spending holidays quietly together in support of each other. /o\ GOD MY HEART.
I'm so easy for these two that I will also take any silly or overly-emotional thing you would like—Martha surprising Batman with a hug! Batman on his knees, and Martha putting a hand on the cowl and GRANTING HIM FORGIVENESS, yikes, I am so ridiculous. Batman standing awkwardly in the bright farmhouse kitchen! BATMAN WASHING UP AFTER MARTHA STUBBORNLY FEEDS HIM. BATMAN IN ONE OF MARTHA'S APRONS. *flails* Seriously, there is nothing too goofy or cute you can do here, after I made myself sad with that first bullet. :D

Despite how brief it was, the moment at the end of BvS where Diana is handling Clark's body, and then looking at Lois grieving over him, just punched me right in the heart. :D There are so many interesting places this relationship could go, and I'd be delighted if you wanted to show me some of them!
SO. Feel free to go AU if that appeals to you! Bring them together in MoS—might Diana have seen Zod's little message in MoS, and come looking for whoever he was talking about (to protect them, or offer them the option of having her protection)? With Lois already connected to stories about aliens, she'd be an obvious place to start ... Or could Diana and Lois have crossed paths in BvS instead, investigating LexCorp at the same time (or at the same parties, if Lois had gone to the fundraiser)? Or make it canon-compliant and post-movie—might Diana keep checking up on Lois after the funeral, and introduce herself? (1k of them just exchanging words for the first time would be 110% satisfying to me!)
Or art me anything you like about these two! Diana is SO TALL, I am all over that height difference in visual media. :D I would enjoy Lois and Diana just hanging out in a quiet moment as much as dressed up for some kind of event—or Lois on the job with a recorder, holding it out to a fully-armored Wonder Woman so Diana can answer a question. Or anything else you're interested in! Hugging, or walking down a sunny Metropolis street together, or a first kiss (while dancing? Post-battle, with Diana's face all smudged up?)—or maybe one of Diana's gowns is already on the floor. ;D GO WILD.
While there's no new actual canon for this relationship as such, going to see Wonder Woman definitely didn't make me ship it any less! :D I really love Diana grappling with the nature of humanity, especially hand-in-hand with getting to know individual humans; and I think Lois would be so fascinated but also sort of involuntarily wary, after having already lost one person she thought couldn't die. I DON'T KNOW, IT WORKS FOR ME.
Seriously, so down for some kind of MoS AU where Lois gets a little less involved with Superman specifically and a little more drawn into this whole "metahuman" thing, investigating other stories—maybe even having to travel to do it, and somehow ending up talking to this one really lovely curator at the Louvre. :D Or, post-MoS, where Diana comes to Metropolis wanting to know more about what happened with Black Zero and the World Engine, and that trail leads to Superman but also to Lois! Who's a little easier to find and have a conversation with. ;)
Feel free to toss in some kind of missing scene from the end of BvS! Doesn't even have to be obviously shippy—I would love a simple thousand words of Diana trying to help comfort Lois immediately after Clark's death (because you know Bruce can't do it, and Martha's mourning on her own level), or going up to talk to her after the funeral, when they're in the graveyard together. ♥ Or, of course, AU it however you like! Might their investigations of LexCorp have led them to the same place? Could Lois have offered to take Clark's place at the fundraiser, since he didn't really want to go, and ended up meeting Diana there?
Or, post-movie or elsewhere, go wild. :D I will be as happy with a thousand words of accidental dating or pretend girlfriends explicitly set after Clark's movieverse death as I will with an unspecified universe where Diana is coaching Lois in swordhandling, or Lois is interviewing Diana Prince for an article and then ~CRISIS~ and sees her Wonder Womaning! FLUFF WHERE LOIS USES HER INVESTIGATIVE POWERS TO WORK OUT DIANA'S BIRTHDAY. Honestly you can make just about anything work depending on which tidbits of comics canon you want to use. THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER.
Or porn! Porn is good. ;D Like I mentioned, I'm easy for the size kink here, Lois getting off on Diana's strength and height and how small she feels by comparison; and there are SO MANY pornographic uses for the lasso, whether simply as a binding or for dirty-talking purposes, getting someone's actual deepest desires out of them. ENJOY.
Again, clothes porn enthusiastically accepted, if that's your jam—and also hair and jewelry, for that matter! Feel free to go gloriously colorful; or, of course, a sober black-and-white of them at Clark's funeral. I WILL FALL ALL OVER MYSELF EITHER WAY. THESE ARE EQUALLY COMPELLING MENTAL IMAGES.
You don't have to damsel Lois ... but I wouldn't mind at all if you did! ;) Diana cradling Lois, or Lois clinging to Diana's neck, 200% works for me—as does Wonder Woman sheltering Lois with the shield! If you want to utterly ruin me, there's also the possibility of a torn-up Lois defiantly taking the sword from a dead Diana's hand to face up to whatever killed her, god. D: AAAAAA. DIANA RESCUING LOIS IS JUST FINE.
SOMETHING FLUFFY IS GOOD TOO. Gals being pals! On dates! Walking by the waterfront in Metropolis, or feeding each other strawberries/cotton candy/fondue, whatever you like! On the edge of a rooftop somewhere, the city all stretched out below them, just talking. A first kiss, a thank-god-you're-all-right post-battle hug! DIANA ~ADJUSTING LOIS'S ATTACK STANCE. Touching of any kind, subtle finger-brushing or handholding to super gratuitous. ♥
NAKED TOUCHING IS ALSO GOOD. Kissing, starting to undress or finishing it, hands in other people's hair or clutching their arms or backs, that thing I said up there in the porny prompts about uses for the lasso ... Seriously, anywhere you want to go here, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE.

If you made it all the way down here by reading that whole thing, let me just say again that I'm so sorry. /o\ :D Whichever part or parts of this apply to you, I hope looking at them was at least a little bit helpful or inspiring, or at the very least reassuring. ;D So, so excited to see my gift, and I hope you receive a lovely one yourself. ♥
Neither one is much to look at, but I'm
In General
I'm completely open to all kinds of content and all ratings (and I mean that, as in I love porn but would also be totally thrilled with G-rated gen!), and have no qualms about receiving a story that requires any of AO3's archive warnings. You can give me ANYTHING about these characters/relationships, and I will read it!
That said, if you're actively looking for guidance one way or another, I like suffering/violence/pain best when there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Really gratuitous gore or darkness doesn't particularly appeal to me.
BUT I promise I really am very flexible. :D I multiship and am interested in all kinds of relationships I didn't request, so any background characters or pairings (or threesomes/moresomes) you want to include are completely fine with me. If a prompt I've come up with for art strikes you as a good starting place for a vignette, by all means roll with it; and if an idea I've mentioned for a fic makes you feel like drawing something, go for it!
And I'm here for every possible genre, AU, trope, cliché, or style—ones you love and always enjoy, ones you want to experiment with, or anywhere in between! Interested in designing a steampunk version of someone's uniform, or stark light vs shadow when you usually shade gradually? WOO YAY. Want to write a coffeeshop AU with soulbonding in second person? I'M THERE. Anything silly or weird or cool, anything you're really interested in but you think no one else is going to like—seriously, GIVE IT TO ME. *grabby hands* I WANT TO SEE IT. A thousand words in future perfect continuous! Your idea of the ultimate faux-pop-art superhero poster! ONE CHARACTER'S ACTUALLY A ROBOT. DADAISM. Whatever it is, DO THE THING. :D \o/
Enjoy yourself and make something you're happy with! AND HAVE A FANTASTIC DCEU-EX. ♥
Alfred/Diana
FROM MY SIGNUP
Oh, look, one of my favorite rarepairs in the world! :D I love Alfred/Diana a totally ridiculous amount, and I will happily consume any fanwork you feel moved to create about the two of them, because ALFRED. DIANA. ♥ ♥ ♥ They're both so thoughtful and composed, and I love the idea that the one thing that kind of gets through their composure in a way they're not expecting is each other. GOD THEY'RE SO GREAT.
So! Feel free to write me anything you like about Alfred and Diana—their first proper meeting in the movieverse, post-BvS (or a missing scene somewhere during BvS?), or working together post-movie to rescue Bruce or something (OH BRUCE). Alfred showing Diana how to work various Bat-gadgets during their downtime! Diana and Alfred exchanging weapon-care tips! FLIRTING RELENTLESSLY OVER MISSION RADIOS UNTIL BRUCE CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. :D Or porn! Alfred and Diana finally dealing with a buildup of crackling UST in spectacular fashion would be A++.
OR draw me anything you like about Alfred and Diana! :D Clothes porn is more than welcome—Alfred and his waistcoats and Diana and her dresses, hng. *_____* Any moment between them that you'd like to capture would be wonderful: a first kiss or accidental handholding while passing a cup of tea; escorting each other while undercover at a fancy party; back-to-back and surrounded by bad guys, in the instant before Diana kicks all their asses. :D ANYTHING.
ADDITIONAL YELLING
Getting a truly wonderful Alfred/Diana gift last year has only made me want another, because ALFRED/DIANA :D, and since it worked so well and landed me such a great fic, I'm basically reusing my prompts! NO REGRETS.

Antiope & Diana
FROM MY SIGNUP
Presumably if you're offering this you've seen Wonder Woman (or plan to) but JUST IN CASE I'll try to reserve spoilery things for my letter. SO. I love Diana and her entire backstory, and I'm so glad they decided to include Antiope in the movieverse! \o/ I am interested in ALL KINDS OF THINGS about Antiope and Diana, and how their relationship changes as Diana grows up. :D
I would love to read basically anything about Diana's childhood, and her interactions with Antiope when she's a girl—how often does she hang around Antiope? Does Antiope ever tell her stories about the history of the Amazons? (Might they turn out a little differently from the way Hippolyta tells them?) Or, of course, basically anything set as Diana trains and grows older—five pieces of advice Antiope gave her, and one she ended up giving Antiope? :D
OR draw me ALL OF THE AMAZON HANGOUTS, please and thank you! Armor porn = yes forever. Antiope picking up or cuddling a young sleepy Diana, oh, my heart, or facing off against Diana in training, or showing Diana how to care for Amazon armor and weapons. Climbing the cliffs together! Dancing some evening after a feast! ANYTHING.
ADDITIONAL YELLING
So I saw Wonder Woman and I EFFING LOVED IT and was so thrilled with Antiope, I can't even begin to tell you. *___________*! I am 200% here for all the occasionally-thorny Amazonian family relationships, hot damn.

Antiope & Hippolyta
FROM MY SIGNUP
Saving spoilery thoughts and prompts for my letter, HOW MUCH DID I LOVE THIS RELATIONSHIP IN WONDER WOMAN? :D :D :D SO VERY VERY MUCH. Antiope and Hippolyta were both amazing, and there is SO MUCH the movie didn't explore about the two of them and their lives—I would like all of it, please!
So write me anything you like about Antiope and Hippolyta at basically any point! Pre-movie, as girls growing up together a very, very long time ago? When the Amazons first came to Themyscira? How has their sisterly relationship changed over time? What have they argued about, and how have they supported or taken care of each other? 1k of the early sections of the movie from either of their POVs would honestly be awesome. :D
Or, of course, I would love to see absolutely anything with them that you want to show me! The two of them sparring or wrestling when they're younger, or charging into battle together—or brushing each other's hair, talking late at night, laughing together. :D Swinging tiny Diana between them, with one of her hands in each of theirs! GO WILD.
ADDITIONAL YELLING
Oops, repeating myself: WONDER WOMAN DELIGHTED ME TO THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL, and one of the things I loved the most about the first third or so of the movie was how much history, familiarity, and tension I could read into basically every exchange between these two. :D
For fic:
For art:
Bruce/Clark
FROM MY SIGNUP
Man, I love this pairing a truly ridiculous amount! They're just such a fantastic study in contrasts, on the surface—Clark so good-natured, just wanting to do the right thing, and Bruce all jaded and not sure there IS a right thing—and yet also so fundamentally similar underneath, with all the stubbornness and righteous anger and uncertainty. I would watch them learn to understand each other SO MANY TIMES, SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. *clutches chest*
SO. I'll read basically anything you want to tell me about Bruce and Clark. :D Tropey, fluffy, angsty, full-on porn to pre-slash so mild you're afraid it might come off like gen—seriously, I'M THERE. Want to stick to BvS canon and write about Bruce's post-movie feelings after watching Clark get buried? Or Clark at the party, annoyed with Bruce (and also maybe repressing some attraction)? YES. Want to wander off into what you think could happen when Clark comes back to life (seriously, there are never too many takes on this), or some vague half-movie half-comics space where they're working together so you can write h/c or amnesia or a time loop? ALSO YES. EVERY YES IN THE WORLD.
Or! Feel free to draw me basically anything that springs to mind. A portrait of either or both, or the two of them doing pretty much whatever you like—from staring at each other irritatedly to banging, in uniform or out of it (;D), or anywhere in between! And that goes for mood; put Bruce at Clark's grave (or give me an AU with Clark at Bruce's?), or show me Superman delivering a Valentine personally, or Clark Kent backed up in an alley with Batman a little too close! WHATEVER YOU WANT MOST TO DO WILL BE GREAT. :D
ADDITIONAL YELLING
THIS SHIP. I'd expected going into BvS that I would come out of it with this ship, even if I had to do a lot of handwaving to make it work—and then I didn't have to handwave a goddamn thing and fell all over myself for it. OH BRUCE. OH CLARK. ♥ So, yeah, guaranteed to enjoy any Bruce/Clark work you end up generating! And last year's prompts netted me a lovely piece of art, so I'm sticking with what works. :D

Bruce & Kryptonian Scout Ship
FROM MY SIGNUP
I realize there's not a tremendous amount of canon to go on here, so I want to say right up front: I'm here for basically any take on the scout ship that you want to run with! I'm fascinated by the change from the Jor-El interface/program in MoS to what seems to be the "default" settings with the female voice in BvS, and by the way Lex talks it into doing what he wants—and I tend to headcanon it as having some degree of "awareness", but you can go with any level of AI complexity that appeals to you!
I'm imagining this will probably end up being a post-BvS fic (unless you'd like to AU things, of course!), and IIRC at that point the scout ship's still sitting in Metropolis, possibly with a hole in it where Doomsday punched his way out. Presumably after what Lex did with it, Bruce doesn't want anyone else getting inside and making monsters out of it—does he manage to get Wayne Enterprises control over the effort to study it? Does he sneak in as Batman and fly it back to Antarctica? Does he intend to do one or both but just end up talking to it (asking it what IT wants, even)? Once he realizes there is an AI/control system, is he angry with it for doing what Lex asked it to? Seriously, there are so many ways that interaction could go!
OR I would love to see Bruce (and/or Batman), in or on or interacting with the scout ship basically any way at all. In the room from MoS, facing one of those three-dimensional displays it does? About to shoot one of its little security drone thingies in the face? Sitting in the genesis chamber at the edge of that good old creepy pool with his head in his hands? Or even just Batman at night, standing on top of it in the middle of Metropolis, because he's looking out for it and the city both in Superman's absence? ANYTHING. :D
ADDITIONAL YELLING
My affection for the scout ship is strange and persistent and I'm powerless in the face of it! I just want more people to interact with it, one way or another. THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING. :D

For art:
Bruce & Martha
FROM MY SIGNUP
Oh, look, another relationship with not a lot of canon to work from. /o\ :D Rest assured, I'm interested in all kinds of different takes on Bruce & Martha, so if there's any particular headcanon you have that you want to take for a spin, feel free! Basically I just love the idea of the two of them, the survivors of their families, managing to connect with each other one way or another. ♥
I'm equally here for Martha knowing Bruce is Batman or not knowing Bruce is Batman—or for 1k of her learning it, for that matter! Might Bruce have helped her get Clark's body back to Kansas? Would he keep visiting her afterward, trying vainly to make up for what he almost did to her son—or would he steer scrupulously clear out of guilt, and then run into her accidentally in Metropolis (because she's come for the last of Clark's things)? Or would he stick to visiting Clark's grave, and run into her there?
And of course that holds for art! Feel free to draw me Martha and Batman or Martha and Bruce—or both, if you'd like to try Bruce in uniform with the cowl off. :D Martha and Bruce at Clark's grave together, or in the farmhouse; in Clark's room, even, or going through old family pictures. OR Martha and Batman—handwave the distance and have Batman checking up on Martha at the diner now and then, or just being a shadow on the roof over her as she locks up for the night!
ADDITIONAL YELLING
I am predictable and constant in my love of this relationship, despite the VERY TINY amount of actual canonical interaction! Bruce as Bruce or Bruce as Batman, either way—Martha is so well-adjusted and seemingly normal in so many ways, and yet she's Superman's mom, so clearly she can handle whatever Batman can dish out in terms of weirdness. :D And half the point of BvS is how badly Bruce is dying for a mother figure! OH YOU GUYS. NOW HUG. And my thoughts from last time still apply, so HERE HAVE SOME RECYCLED PROMPTS :D
For fic:
For art:
Diana/Lois
FROM MY SIGNUP
Despite how brief it was, the moment at the end of BvS where Diana is handling Clark's body, and then looking at Lois grieving over him, just punched me right in the heart. :D There are so many interesting places this relationship could go, and I'd be delighted if you wanted to show me some of them!
SO. Feel free to go AU if that appeals to you! Bring them together in MoS—might Diana have seen Zod's little message in MoS, and come looking for whoever he was talking about (to protect them, or offer them the option of having her protection)? With Lois already connected to stories about aliens, she'd be an obvious place to start ... Or could Diana and Lois have crossed paths in BvS instead, investigating LexCorp at the same time (or at the same parties, if Lois had gone to the fundraiser)? Or make it canon-compliant and post-movie—might Diana keep checking up on Lois after the funeral, and introduce herself? (1k of them just exchanging words for the first time would be 110% satisfying to me!)
Or art me anything you like about these two! Diana is SO TALL, I am all over that height difference in visual media. :D I would enjoy Lois and Diana just hanging out in a quiet moment as much as dressed up for some kind of event—or Lois on the job with a recorder, holding it out to a fully-armored Wonder Woman so Diana can answer a question. Or anything else you're interested in! Hugging, or walking down a sunny Metropolis street together, or a first kiss (while dancing? Post-battle, with Diana's face all smudged up?)—or maybe one of Diana's gowns is already on the floor. ;D GO WILD.
ADDITIONAL YELLING
While there's no new actual canon for this relationship as such, going to see Wonder Woman definitely didn't make me ship it any less! :D I really love Diana grappling with the nature of humanity, especially hand-in-hand with getting to know individual humans; and I think Lois would be so fascinated but also sort of involuntarily wary, after having already lost one person she thought couldn't die. I DON'T KNOW, IT WORKS FOR ME.
