Norrell is a good boss when Childermass is hurt

[(Anonymous)]

Norrell reacts differently to Lascelles attacking and cutting Childermass. And by 'differently,' I mean "the way he fucking should have."

Re: Norrell is a good boss when Childermass is hurt

[(Anonymous)]

Oh lord, if there is one scene that needs a cathartic fix-it fic, it's that one.

Sure, in canon, Norrell wouldn't be Norrell if he had actually reacted assertively when Lascelles carved Childermass's face up, but that's what fanfic is for right? Wish fulfillment, even while we know that things would have turned out very differently had Norrell done the right thing at that moment.

Which is my long-winded way of saying seconded. I've been waiting for a ficcish take on this.

The Gentleman with Thistle-down Hair Post-canon

[(Anonymous)]

I find there to be a depressing lack of the Gentleman fic.

After the events of the book/series, someone (Segundus? Childermass? Segundus AND Childermass??) makes a project of mapping as much of the King's Roads as possible, including stumbling into the ruins of Lost-Hope. It turns out that the Gentleman wasn't quite as dead as everyone believed him to be, although he is so weak that he won't survive staying in Fairy much longer.

Cue the Gentleman's introduction into English society as, more or less, a human being. I want to see him getting frustrated with human things and whining about all the power he lost while also gaining some humanity.

+++ if Segundus ends up being surprisingly patient with him for the purpose of wheedling all his magical knowledge so he can write a book about it.

+++++++ if Childermass *does NOT approve.*

Childermass/Lascelles/Drawlight - non-consensual magical weight gain

[(Anonymous)]

Lascelles and Drawlight have a chubby kink and have fixated on Childermass despite his thinness. They draft in a magician to make a spell or potion to make an individual gain weight. They kidnap and restrain Childermass and then cast the spell/force him to drink the potion.
Childermass feels really unwell and then to his horror his stomach starts to swell.

From then on Lascelles and Drawlight have fun playing with Childermass and humiliating him.

The spell eventually wears off and he returns to his normal size.

Bonus points for Childermass plotting revenge.

Childermass/Norrell in a Fingersmith/The Handmaiden AU

[(Anonymous)]

With Childermass as the poor young thief and Norrell as the wealthy but naive reclusive bachelor. Lascelles as the unscrupulous gentleman who plots to woo and marry Norrell before ensconcing him in an asylum and taking his inheritance for himself (I'm thinking this could be a world where equal marriage is a thing and there is no stigma directed at same-sex couples.)
Lascelles knows Childermass somehow, lets him in on his plan to seduce Norrell and convinces him to pose as Norrell's new personal servant, with a promise of a cut of the profit once Norrell is in the asylum. All Childermass has to do is to help convince his new master to accept Lascelles' proposal. Instead, Childermass falls in love with Norrell. And now he can't go through with the plan...

Re: Childermass/Norrell in a Fingersmith/The Handmaiden AU

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not familiar with Fingersmith or the Handmaiden but I love this pairing any any way they can possibly get together is good with me! Seconded with bells on!

ageplay, anyone/anyone

[(Anonymous)]

I would love to see daddy kink, mommy kink, or other kinds of ageplay explored in this fandom.

I've been thinking a lot about this in the context of Childermass/Norrell, but I would be delighted to see other pairings too!

Re: ageplay, anyone/anyone

[(Anonymous)]

YES! Yes PLEASE!

+1 for Childermass/Norrell ageplay, it's a thing of beauty

Lascelles/TV!Drawlight - manipulation, humiliation, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm such a horrible person for wanting this, but...

I've seen a fair few prompts to do with book!Drawlight, how about some TV!Drawlight suffering?

Drawlight is hopelessly in love/lust with Lascelles. Lascelles is well aware of this, and so, as a way of keeping Drawlight in thrall to him, allows Drawlight to fuck him every so often. But rather than pretending he's into it, Lascelles goes out of his way to show how not into it he is, whether that's by a lot of bored huffing, cutting remarks about Drawlight's technique (or lack thereof), or even accidentally-on-purpose moaning out someone else's name.

Just give me Lascelles being a complete bastard and poor Drawlight being miserable but unable to give up his only chance of tumbling his dear Henry.

Re: Lascelles/TV!Drawlight - manipulation, humiliation, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Ooh! It's rare to see TV!Drawlight get a mention here.

This is such a painful prompt. Damn Lascelles for using everyone!

Childermass/Lascelles + carrying

[(Anonymous)]

I have no idea how it could happen but I desperately need Childermass carrying Lascelles.

I don't care if Lascelles protests like mad or the complete opposite (maybe he's fainted, or he's being rescued from Faerie while all feeble and vacant) and I don't care why this happens, or even how the carrying does down (fireman's carry over the shoulder, scooped up in Childermass' arms, thrown over Brewer's saddle), I just, *sigh*, I need this.

Re: Childermass/Lascelles + carrying

[(Anonymous)]

I'm on team Scooped Up In Childermass' Arms, but a piggy back ride would also be hilarious.

Strange/Norrell body-swap humour

[(Anonymous)]

In the Darkness -- sympathetic to both characters

Re: Strange/Norrell body-swap humour

[(Anonymous)]

Hah, I can't believe this hasn't been done yet. Seconded!

Strange/Norrell (or Strange & Norrell) - the vanishing portrait

[(Anonymous)]

In the book, Sir Thomas Lawrence's double portrait of Norrell and Strange "hung in Mr Norrell's library from November 1814 until the summer of the following year when it was removed. It has not been seen since." So who removed it? And why? I'm guessing it was taken down because of the rift between the two magicians. Did Lascelles convince Norrell it would be "impolitic" to keep it, or was it Norrell's own idea, because the image of himself and Strange together was too painful for him?

And the most important question - where did it end up? Thrown straight on the fire, collecting dust in some obscure collection - or was it simply moved to a more private location in Hanover-square (or even Hurtfew Abbey)?

I'm a big fan of the Strange/Norrell pairing, so if you can work it in somehow that'd be awesome, but I'll quite happily take gen, too. I'd just love to see someone's take on this particular little mystery!

Re: Strange/Norrell (or Strange & Norrell) - the vanishing portrait

[(Anonymous)]

This is fascinating. If it did end up accumulating dust in an archive/collection somewhere, it would be worth LOADS after the magicians are swept off the face of the earth!

Emma/Sir Walter - post-resurrection sex

[(Anonymous)]

Entirely because of "Ooh, Walter, I rather like you in black." Overflowing with new life, Emma finds that merely dancing with her fiance isn't quite enough for her. Cue lots of energetic, eager sex.

Maybe Sir Walter's a bit weirded out at first - after all, not half an hour ago she was a corpse - but finds himself getting swept up in the moment, because Emma is so very irresistible like this.

A bit improper, maybe, but it's not the strangest thing to have happened in that bedroom that night!

Emma/Childermass - pegging

[(Anonymous)]

It's hard to say which one of them loves it more when she makes him scream.

Re: Emma/Childermass - pegging

[(Anonymous)]

WOAH. Yes please.

Emma/Childermass/Segundas - magic sensitivity h/c

[(Anonymous)]

Childermass's sensitivity to magic becomes problematic when he's overwhelmed and incapacitated by it somewhere. Fortunately, his lovers are nearby to take care of him.

Norrell + Strange/Grant: accidental voyeurism

[(Anonymous)]

Norrell worries about Jonathan while he's in the Peninsula, so he summons a vision to check in on him, only to find Jonathan getting down and dirty with a certain major. Worse, he's completely unable to look away.

Re: Norrell + Strange/Grant: accidental voyeurism

[(Anonymous)]

Oh my god YES PLEASE!!

Childermass/Uskglass, How to Shew Your Most Leal Subject Your Affections, rom-com

[(Anonymous)]

Just putting this here in case the meme isn't completely dead...

The Raven King had been paying attention to Childermass for a long time before that day when he revived his book, due to the prophecy, but he only fell in love that day. There's just one problem. Well, three problems.

1. Childermass is completely unaware of his king's affections.
2. The king is aware he has a history of messing up romantically.
3. ...And no one he trusts to give advice (Will Lanchester, adoptive father Obereon, Vinculus) is actually any good at it.

Happy ending preferred.

Crossover/Mythology Gag/Fluffy Hair Bonus: Uskglass, as Obereon's adopted son, has two siblings - the half-human bastard Robin Goodfellow (yes, that Puck) - and fully faerie Jareth, the Goblin King (from Labyrinth). The late Gentleman with the Thisledown Hair having been that-cousin-noone-likes-or-wants-to-invite-to-parties.

TL:DR; The Raven King loves Childermass, but is terrible at courting him. Hijinks ensue.

Re: Childermass/Uskglass, How to Shew Your Most Leal Subject Your Affections, rom-com

[(Anonymous)]

I am so here for any prompt that involves the Raven King being just the biggest disaster and this sounds adorable and hilarious. Seconding!

Jonathan Strange + humiliation/embarrassment

[(Anonymous)]

Jonathan is an arrogant fellow, which makes him feeling embarrassment so delicious. Perhaps one of his spells goes wrong in a public setting, he is ordered to do something "beneath him" by Wellington in the Peninsula, or he becomes the subject of ridicule in London's press. Basically, I'd love Jonathan being humiliated in any way and he actually feels embarrassed. The more mortified he is, the better!

Re: Jonathan Strange + humiliation/embarrassment

[(Anonymous)]

+1!

Segundus/Honeyfoot cuddling and handjobs

[(Anonymous)]

These two cuties deserve some cuddly downtime with their hands down each others breeches.

Mermaid AU

[(Anonymous)]

There are a lot of references to the sea in JS&MN: I would love to read about the English magicians coming across English mermaids. I don't mind if the mermaid is an OC or if one of the characters is turned into a mermaid/merman, I just think it would be really interesting to see Strange/Norrell's reactions to these magical creatures!

Re: Mermaid AU

[(Anonymous)]

Interesting! And after all, at the end of the book, doesn't Strange say something about him and Norrell having a new theory on naiads? It's only a short jump from there to nereids, and from there to mermaids. :)

Childermass and the spell of sexual insight

[(Anonymous)]

Prehaps something went a bit awry, but whatever the case Childermass is now under some strange spell that gvies him the ability to imidiatly know a persons sexual preferences when talking to them. What genders the are attracted to, what kinks they have and everything in between.

It's awkward to say the least.

When it comes to shipping I'm quite partial to Strange/Norell and Segundus/honeyfoot. I would not mind some Childermass/Strange either.

Re: Childermass and the spell of sexual insight

[(Anonymous)]

I second this! So good to see a prompt involving Norrell (at least potentially). I'm trying to finish a WIP but will try to think about this one for later. But it's the kind of prompt that could generate multiple quite different fics, so I hope someone else will tackle this one. Thanks for the prompt!

Jonathan Strange having an accident (Strange/Childermass or Strange/Segundus)

[(Anonymous)]

To put it plainly: I want Jonathan to wet himself. Make him squirm for a while before he can't help himself any longer. Can't hold back a few soft whimpers of pleasure at the relief either.

He needs an audience. Either a smirking but ultimately sympathetic Childermass or a sympathetic and caring Segundus.

Re: Jonathan Strange having an accident (Strange/Childermass or Strange/Segundus)

[(Anonymous)]

+1!

Scorchingly hot prompt OP.

John Uskglass/one of the ladies of Grace Adieu or Miss Redruth

[(Anonymous)]

The ladies of Grace Adieu all admire the Raven King and Miss Redruth said a defense of the Raven King in the last part of the book.

Maybe there would be magical sex and some good old normal penetration.

They may be doing it in a wide moor and a mountainside.

Jonathan Strange/Henry Woodhope

[(Anonymous)]

After Arabella's "death" Henry feels that Jonathan should not be left alone, and manage to persuade him to come home with him.

Jonathan developes a habbit of crawling into Henry's bed at night, and Henry does not have the heart to turn him away. Not even when Jonathan gets rather handsy in inappropriate ways.

Jonathan Strange/Sir Walter Pole

[(Anonymous)]

They are probably somewhat drunk and it was rather awkward at first, but it became quite enjoyable once they really got going.

All in all; Sloppy drunk shenanigans.

John Uskglass/ William of Lanchester

[(Anonymous)]

William of Lanchester taught the King how to read Latin. While the King was struggling to read a book, William gave the King a blow job.
After a page was read, they had anal sex.

How John Childermass got his name

[(Anonymous)]

I've always assumed the name "Childermass" isn't John's real name, but an alias, as it doesn't sound like a typical surname. Based on this premise, I'd love to see people's interpretations on how John acquired his unusual last name.

Childermass/Segundus-Childermass throws his back out

[(Anonymous)]

After years of mistreatment (sleeping god knows where, terrible posture of slouching/leaning/hunching, maybe hauling work on a ship) Childermass' back seizes when he tries to haul an escaping Vinculus back into Starecross.

Segundus' father had bad posture and his brothers were rambunctious, so his mother grew adept at treating sore muscles and backs. Segundus inherits her long, deft fingers, so she taught him her skills.

Segundus tries to treat Childermass' backache, first with towels soaked in warm water, then a thorough massage. Childermass is reluctant to relax despite the pain, due to a need to be ever-vigilant, and certain unexamined feelings for his scholarly acquaintance.

Childermass eventually relents under Segundus' expert hands, groaning and getting a boner.

I imagine it wouldn't be too feasible for them to actually go at it in his weakened state, so end it as you wish.

Ta!
