Strange, Grant, Shape. crossover JS&MN/Sharpe

[(Anonymous)]

So when Strange is sent to war and Wellington doesn't initially know what to do with him he dumps him on Sharpe (kind of like he did with Mr GIllians rocket troop in one of the episodes).
Sharpe is initially unimpressed with being saddled with a magician gentleman, but grudgingly comes to like accept him.


+1 any interaction between Grant and either Hogan or Nairn (Wellingtons exploring officers who feature in the Sharpe series, and them both being secretly amused by Strange and Sharpe ways of getting things done.

+1 Strange comparing Sharpe (either out loud or in his head) to Childermass, as he's a tall, decidedly scruffy looking Yorkshireman, whose inclined to surly with his supposed betters, and whose grasp of speaking French is also as bad as Childermass' (this only really work if crossing it with the TV version of Sharpe as played by Sean Bean, as the book version is from London.)

Arabella Strange/Emma Pole/John Childermass

[(Anonymous)]

Women doing their thing! The servants doing their thing! Will this empowerment of women and working-class ever stop! Look at this scandalous menage a trois!

tl;dr Domestic Bell/Emma/Childermass, all living together and doing magic things, because yeah.

Re: Arabella Strange/Emma Pole/John Childermass

[(Anonymous)]

LOVE this prompt. Seconded!

Any pairing, Georgette Heyer crossover

[(Anonymous)]

Any Heyer character meeting magicians, or Clarke's characters meeting a Heyer character; any overlap.

Re: Any pairing, Georgette Heyer crossover

[(Anonymous)]

Ohhh man, doesn't Mrs. Lennox (Segundus' widowed patroness) live in Bath? She's a lady of consequence -- I bet she knows the Wendovers!

Childermass/Segundus - post book, Childermass' secret spot

[(Anonymous)]

Post book: Childermass kept visiting Segundus in his school from time to time and so they started sort of relationship (if you could call it that way - mostly they just had sex).

Childermass is not a what would you call a "warm lover" - their sex is kind of impersonal. But one day Segundus discovers that there is one place on Childermass' body that makes him go all warm and cuddly. So he keep touching Chldermass there - firstly just after sex to make him stay longer in bed (and to cuddle a little) but then it kind of escalates and when he has a argument with Childermass or just needs quick hug he just touches Childermass' secret spot and his lover becomes much more..accessible.

Childermass does not realize that he has this kind of spot.

You have killed me with this prompt. I am dead.

Childermass/Segundus - Magical Sexting

[(Anonymous)]

Ok so I was thinking about these two using some sort of spell to exchange filthy instant messages with each other, much like today's notion of sexting, but obviously with a magical twist.

Bonus points if one of them sends the other a message at a massively inappropriate time and it causes potentially embarrassing instant arousal that they strive to hide.

Re: Childermass/Segundus - Magical Sexting

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, yes, and yes again!

Something like a shared magical book where they can see what the other is writing perhaps?

I can totally imagine it starting out innocently (like, they need the book to save Childermass from riding up to Starecross every time he needs to speak to Segundus or ask a question about Lady Pole) and ending up as their book of FILTHY SIN.

If Honeyfoot was to accidentally peep inside, goodness!

Injured!Childermass/anyone

[(Anonymous)]

Poor, pale, sickly Childermass in bed recovering from his gunshot wound. Someone tends to his injuries and takes care of him. This eventually leads to gentle but passionate fucking.

Re: Injured!Childermass/anyone

[(Anonymous)]

OP, I've written something very similar to this but it ends in kissing not fucking. Would you be at all interested in reading? (It's Norrell/Childermass, if that's a pairing you might be interested in?)

Strange/Grant - Unconscious desire, Sleepwalking

[(Anonymous)]

On returning from the war, Jonathan starts sleepwalking. Through mirrors. And somehow keeps ending up in Major Grant's bedroom....

Re: Strange/Grant - Unconscious desire, Sleepwalking

[(Anonymous)]

Ohohoho. Yes. Good.

Carriages, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Not enough attention is paid to vehicles and means of transportation here. Please, some in-carriage ravishing of John Segundus, or magic travel shenanigans, or enchanted barouche, whatever.

Re: Carriages, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Ooooh YES to carriage!sex involving Segundus (and preferably Childermass).

Jonathan/book!Drawlight: forced feminization/crossdressing, noncon/dubcon

[(Anonymous)]

I've had this horrible, creepy idea for a while that when Drawlight meets mad!Strange in Venice, instead of hallucinating a weird mythological creature, he hallucinates that Drawlight is a woman, more specifically his wife, and forces him to wear Arabella's dress. Drawlight is so terrified he goes along with it...

Re: Jonathan/book!Drawlight: forced feminization/crossdressing, noncon/dubcon

[(Anonymous)]

This is an AMAZING idea. 10/10 would read

childermass/raven king - fisting.

[(Anonymous)]

Basically Childermass getting reduced to trembling, too fucked to move blissed out state by the raven king fisting him. +1 if childermass sort of initiates it, like begging for more when he's got 2/3 fingers there. +1 if the raven king tells him its a gift to be so trusted to do what he's asking and childermass is like "your my king, i will always trust you" So yeah the Raven King doing it to him slow and careful, and maybe at the end telling.him how well he did, how proud if him he is.

Re: childermass/raven king - fisting.

[(Anonymous)]

Unf. I very much want to read this.

John Uskglass/everyone, metaphorically

[(Anonymous)]

Well, he did kind of screw over the whole of England when he withdrew.

Re: John Uskglass/everyone, metaphorically

[(Anonymous)]

Can you elaborate on this one? I'm not sure I understand what you mean!

Stephen Black/Giorgio Alessandro Simonelli

[(Anonymous)]

Human rulers in Faerie forming some political and romantic alliances.

Cold Henry/Ralph Stokesey, miscommunication

[(Anonymous)]

Why did the Aureate magician leave the fairy king his boots? Was that some sort of message? Did Cold Henry sentimentally hold onto them post-encounter? Bonus for framing device with John Segundus reading about the Aureate and imagining fairy/human romance.

John Childermass/Arabella Strange - Fake Relationship

[(Anonymous)]

I would love to see Arabella after the book being pursued by a ton of men because she's a fashionable 'widow' and because she has been dead for a while. Basically, a whole bunch of thrill-seeking jerks are after her. At some point, she runs into Childermass, who also finds himself in the awkward position of being pursued by too many people for all the wrong reasons (maybe they like him because he's a lower-class magician and they want a bit of rough? Maybe because he's now got a position of power? I don't know, but he sees through them easily).

The two of them pretend to be involved at first only to put an end to the annoyances, but after a while begin to develop actual feelings for one another. Give me all the guilt and awkwardness as they realize that their fake relationship just got real.

Re: John Childermass/Arabella Strange - Fake Relationship

[(Anonymous)]

This is the kind of against the current relationship I want to see celebrated.

Lady of the Castle of the Plucked Eye & Heart/Gentleman with the thistle-down hair

[(Anonymous)]

Two most strange and mighty fairy rulers get together! Deadly. Fantastic. Magical.

Re: Lady of the Castle of the Plucked Eye & Heart/Gentleman with the thistle-down hair

[(Anonymous)]

What an interesting pair this would be!

Dick-come-Tuesday/anyone

[(Anonymous)]

Some (mis)adventures of the (in)famous fairy servant of Thomas Godbless? With a splendid name like that, he must have stories to tell.

Col Tom Blue/Gentleman with the thistle-down hair

[(Anonymous)]

If among fairy castle rulers, Col Tom Blue (accoring to thistle-down gentleman) is wild, unruly and a low person, and gentleman himself is so fancy, haughty and sophisticated, if they had some entanglement together it would have been quite the clash of manners and temperaments? Very interested in the dynamics of fairy relationships.

Birthday/comfort fic request for/by Predatrix

[(Anonymous)]

I am away from home (and away from cat) for next 3 days, and don't know if anybody's going to write me a birthday fic for 1 September, and I have had a vile cough for 3 or 4 months, and I feel I have been writing nearly all the slash for my favourite character (the poor little dumpling!), and my cough kept me awake all last night, the only plus side to this being I made great progress on the bonding fic (venerable trope, I know) I'm writing for the "magical compatibility" prompt. So there's that.

Comments suggesting I have been noticed (probably even "stop jumping up and down in our meme, you twit!," or "have a hug, a cough probably won't kill you") gratefully accepted. Gift-fic (and the final arrival of several fills Relevant To My Interests people have been working on (you know who you are!)) even more gratefully accepted.

tl;dr: Predatrix Has A Sad (I know, funny in a comedy writer)

Somewhat modified rapture, Pred'x

Re: Birthday/comfort fic request for/by Predatrix

[(Anonymous)]

<3 <3 <3 fic incoming. (You don't know who I am, MWAHAHAHAHA)

Childermass swordfight

[(Anonymous)]

Is he defending someone's honor? Is he a secretly awesome sword master? Is he just hacking away in anger or self-defense?

I don't know, but I would dearly love to see John Childermass with a sword in his hand.

(And perhaps someone is particularly grateful for his services after the fact... IN BED)

Re: Childermass swordfight

[(Anonymous)]

This immediately makes me think of that astolat Master and Commander AU with swordmasters who are psychically bonded to people they have mad hot sex with. Not sure if you're into that but Childermass would kind of be an amazing swordmaster.

Childermass, secretly good at drawing

[(Anonymous)]

So Childermass drew his set of tarot cards, so maybe actually quite good at drawing, not exceptional, but an everyday sort of good. His finger/hand are frequently look dirty because he uses ink and charcoal to draw with.

What does he draw? Could be character studies (like Mr Norrell sat reading, or strange and Norrell doing magic together) or maybe he secretly supplies the newspapers/periodicals if the day with the sort of satirical cartoons they had in them. Or maybe he draws what he dreams about, and it weird and faintly disturbing to look at, like shadowy people with no faces, flocks of menacing black birds and ruined buildings.

Maybe he decides to share what he can do or does he get found out? Or does it stay his secret?

Any combination is great, just want some Childermass drawing something.

Re: Childermass, secretly good at drawing

[(Anonymous)]

HOLY HECK ARE YOU ME

seriously I was just talking to a friend about this, in detail, and ended up writing a couple of unpublished snippets about it? I don't know if you'd be interested in seeing them? (They're Childermass/Norrell with some implied future Childermass/Segundus and the basic premise is 'Childermass has a sketchbook he keeps for his drawings of Norrell, and people find out.')

It's fine if you'd rather have an actual fill, or if this isnt to your tastes, so don't feel any obligation to say yes! It was just such a coincidence I felt I had to offer.

Rivers of London X Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell fusion fic

[(Anonymous)]

Anybody who knows the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronvich knows that the system of magic in that was set up by Newton.

But what if they were in a world where it's was Strangite/Norrellite magics? (I mean a lot of the other stuff would still work as the RoL has fairies and other strange beings - like the living personification of rivers)

I mean Nightingale was a army magician (as per canon), maybe it became a done thing in the army following Strange to have a magician.

Not sure where I'm going with this prompt, so anything that fuses these to amazing 'verses.

Re: Rivers of London X Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell fusion fic

[(Anonymous)]

Anon, I think you read my mind! I am an RoL fan, and this is something I have been thinking about since I saw the JSMN TV series. It's fascinating to consider how the differing magical systems and histories could be made compatible. I actually think the two universes have more of a potential for fusion than any other fictional universes I can think of, which is pretty cool. :)

I don't want to promise anything, especially as I am still in the process of reading the JSMN novel and writing a fill for a different prompt, but if I feel inspired enough I may attempt short fill for this.

Fem! Segundus/ fem! Childermass

[(Anonymous)]

So apparently last night I ended up finding loads of portraits of super-hot androgynous, masculine, quiffed lesbians on tumblr - looking all strong and unapologetic and purposeful somehow. Anyway, I suddenly realised, they have the Childermass thing (you know, the thing!).

And now I would like a modern femslash AU Childermass/Segundus please!

Re: Fem! Segundus/ fem! Childermass

[(Anonymous)]

As a fan of super-hot androgynous lesbians, I am really feeling this prompt.
Is an art fill okay? I don't want to discourage anyone else from writing something for this, but I'd love to draw it.

Norrell/Childermass: Norrell has a headache

[(Anonymous)]

As we all know, Norrell is prone to his usual bout of headaches. One day he's complaining and has been for some time, and Childermass in his usual calm, collected manner, decides to see to it (if only just shut his master up)

Cue Childermass slowly removing Norrell's night-cap and working his fingers through his hair, softly massaging his head as way of alleviating the pain. Bonus points for Norrell at first being a bit like ... :| what are you doing?, but very quickly deciding that he enjoys it and leans his head back into Childermass' hands.

Re: Norrell/Childermass: Norrell has a headache

[(Anonymous)]

op this is *adorable*

I would love to write a fill for you but it would probably be quite a shorty, if that's okay?

Prompt Freeze / Fill Week

This prompt post has hit 4,000 comments, so we will be having a week-long prompt freeze to give existing prompts a chance to be filled, and to allow time for the round up post on the tumblr to be brought up to date.

During a prompt freeze no new prompts are allowed, but of course everyone is encouraged to comment and fill as much as they want.

Any prompts posted during the week will be deleted.

The prompt Freeze will last until 30th August.

Recent issues with prompt-hijacking, criticism, and spamming

[jsmn_kink]

There has been recent discussion about three issues that have cropped up on the meme – prompt-hijacking, criticism of prompts, and prompters spamming the meme, so this is a reminder that prompt-hijacking and criticism of prompts is not allowed here, and I urge prompters to please always report this immediately on the mod post (or you can PM me) so that it can be taken care of at once, rather than getting into a confrontation yourself.

Prompt Criticism:
If you see a prompt you like but there’s a detail you don’t like or you want something changed in the prompt, please create your own prompt and do not hijack the existing prompt or bash it.

Prompt Flooding:
Reminder from the Rules & Guidelines:
• Different ideas can call for different levels of detail, but try to put yourself in a potential filler's shoes when posting your prompt. Consider if your idea might be too long and restrictive for anyone to satisfy properly, or if it might be too short and vague for anyone to draw proper inspiration from it

So please keep in mind that there are many more prompts than fills and sometimes even the prompts you think are very good will remain unfilled. Meme history has demonstrated that if you prompt frequently in a short period of time — and people are able to identify the flood of prompts as coming from you — people may be disinclined to fill your prompts.

Finally, the rules have now been updated asking that prompters please remain anonymous. Please do not prompt while logged in or sign your prompts with a name.

Round Two is now open!
