Dear Creator: Just Married 2025
Jun. 12th, 2025 10:07 pmHello! I'm so happy that you (yes! you!) are writing for me in this exchange. I am looking forward to the fabulous gift that I am sure to receive.
This letter gives a bit more detail to my sign up requests, which I purposefully kept a bit sparse. Everything I list here is optional. If your muse is taking you in a direction that is not detailed here, then follow your muse! I would rather read a fic that the author had fun writing than one that was forced to meet standards that did not creatively jive with you, the creator.
Things I Love:
DNWs:
My favorite thing about Gideon and Harrow is how much they outwardly hate each other, and yet they are unable to separate themselves from the other. I want to see these two fight against their marriage. Their union comes with claws and teeth. Their partner is not easy to love, but neither are they. I want these two involuntarily stuck with each other and not admitting their growing feelings until it’s too late.
Canon universe is fine, but I would love to see your take on their marriage in these canon-adjacent AUs:
The following prompts are merely suggestions. If you think of an idea that you like better than what's presented, then I prefer you follow your muse!
I think Season 2 did Vi dirty in terms of her character. We lost a sense of who she is: someone who is community-focused, who will set aside her needs for the sake of others, who listened to Vander’s lectures on leadership and took them to heart, who doesn’t care about herself so long as other people are happy.
For this exchange, I’d like a fic that remembers that Vi is the daughter of an influential community leader, and there is power in that position both politically and socially. I am not opposed to AUs, but I'd prefer a more creative setting (examples: historical fantasy set in the 1940s, weird west featuring werewolves, etc). If you write an AU, please keep their social and political status similar to the show.
In my mind, Vi falls for Caitlyn for 2 reasons:
Treats of any medium are welcome!
I’ve only seen fanart of this rarepair, and I would love to see fanfiction that depicts them as well. My letter goes into more detail about how I see them as a couple; you are not obligated to follow my logic. I would love to see your interpretation of this wonderful ship!
This is how I imagine their dynamic. You are, of course, welcome to imbue your own interpretation if you don't agree.
Mel is impressed by Sevika’s suave political maneuvering. Sevika is not pretty to look at, but she’s self-assured and tough and analytical. Sevika’s priority is the safety and comfort of her people, and she’s willing to do anything (including bend a few rules) to get it. Sevika is slow to trust, but Mel is patient and persistent and thoughtful. When Sevika finally learns to open up, she is rewarded with gentleness and compassion, two things she was resigned to never have for herself. It’s terrifying, but gods does it feel so good.
Sevika is caught off-guard by Mel. Mel’s respect comes too easily, and Sevika can’t shake the feeling that Mel is constantly manipulating the people around her. Sevika is impressed that Mel’s skin is tougher than it looks, and her political principles are uncompromising, even if setting them aside would make her ambitions easier to attain. Mel is able to take care of herself, but Sevika never sees Mel truly relax. When Sevika realizes this, she wants to be someone Mel can let go with.
Between the two of them, Mel is the first to express romantic intentions and make small, casual touches. But Sevika is the one to initiate physical intimacy beyond a kiss.
Here are a few prompts to get you started:

If you need a little something extra, here are some ideas that I've been mulling over myself that you can sink your creative fingers into.

The Locked Tomb Series by Tamsyn Muir - Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus
My favorite thing about Gideon and Harrow is how much they outwardly hate each other, and yet they are unable to separate themselves from the other. I want to see these two fight against their marriage. Their union comes with claws and teeth. Their partner is not easy to love, but neither are they. I want these two involuntarily stuck with each other and not admitting their growing feelings until it’s too late.
Canon universe is fine, but I would love to see your take on their marriage in these canon-adjacent AUs:
- Harrow Nova
- Harrowhark Goes to the Ball
- Harrowhark joins the Cohort
- Gideon Raised by Blood of Eden
- Gideon Raised by John/The Lyctors
The following prompts are merely suggestions. If you think of an idea that you like better than what's presented, then I prefer you follow your muse!
- Harrowhark is the newest recruit on a Cohort ship. Gideon is a BARI-star but is unable to connect with anyone outside the coffee shop (despite wanting to). They hate each other on sight. Harrowhark hates that Gideon tries to flirt with every girl that dares talk to her. Gideon hates that Harrowhark has a stick up her ass who knows Gideon’s every desire.
- Gideon and Harrow wake up hungover and married.
- Gideon and Harrow refuse to back down from a dare that goes too far, and they end up married anyway
- As the biological heir of the Anastasian line, Harrow Nova’s only value to the Ninth is through her marriage, despite all attempts to prove herself through her cavaliership.
- Reverend Daughter Gideon raises the funds to buy her marriage contract to keep her on the Ninth
- Reverend Daughter Gideon had married Harrow Nova in secret to keep her safe, and now they must manipulate things so they can get married for real
- Harrow Nova competes in a tournament/series of trials to win back her own marriage contract
- A mysterious pilgrim (Gideon) arrives on the Ninth. Reverend Daughter Harrowhark is invested in keeping this stranger away from the Ninth’s secrets, but Gideon is a Blood of Eden agent and is determined to open the Tomb.
- The Nine Houses have won a huge victory over Blood of Eden. One of their wing commanders (Gideon) attempts to negotiate a marriage with someone on the Ninth. Her ulterior motive is to open the Tomb to bring about the end of the Emperor Undying. Along the way, she attempts to court the Reverend Daughter as a means to get to the secrets she wants to find.
- Blood of Eden has won a huge victory over the Nine Houses. This has granted them access to The Ninth House and the Tomb, that is their destination. Gideon marries Harrow to keep the Ninth population in check, but along the way realizes that Harrow’s people are desperate and in need of something more practical than the usurping of the Emperor Undying.
- Prince Kiriona Gaia is supposedly looking to marry. Harrowhark joins the army of eligible suitors in an attempt to win her hand. The union will replenish the diminishing resources of the Ninth.
- Harrow must compete in a series of trials to win Gideon’s hand.
- Gideon and Harrow agree to marry on paper. Harrow gets her resources, Gideon gets to leave the Nine Houses. This arrangement means they get everything they want, right?
Arcane: League of Legends - Caitlyn Kiramman/Vi
I think Season 2 did Vi dirty in terms of her character. We lost a sense of who she is: someone who is community-focused, who will set aside her needs for the sake of others, who listened to Vander’s lectures on leadership and took them to heart, who doesn’t care about herself so long as other people are happy.
For this exchange, I’d like a fic that remembers that Vi is the daughter of an influential community leader, and there is power in that position both politically and socially. I am not opposed to AUs, but I'd prefer a more creative setting (examples: historical fantasy set in the 1940s, weird west featuring werewolves, etc). If you write an AU, please keep their social and political status similar to the show.
In my mind, Vi falls for Caitlyn for 2 reasons:
- Caitlyn had everything handed to her. She can choose to fight for anything, and she chooses to fight for Vi.
- Caitlyn is the only person that prioritizes Vi. For the first time in Vi’s life, she found someone who will take care of her, instead of needing to be taken care of by Vi.
- Underneath Vi’s sharp and tough exterior lies a soft heart that is filled with kindness and compassion. Anyone can see that, but only Caitlyn can see the fatigue of keeping her guard up.
- If you pay attention, Caitlyn is discounted by nearly every character besides Vi, Jayce, and Mel. Vi is the first person to respect Caitlyn for her abilities, even after learning her family name.
- In order to keep the Kiramman succession alive, Caitlyn is smuggled out of Piltover and into Zaun, where she pretends to be married to Vi to hide her true identity.
- Vi, daughter of Vander, refuses to marry for political reasons. But when the Noxian Empire looms on the horizon, Vi offers her hand in marriage to Caitlyn Kiramman of Piltover in order to bring The Lanes under Piltovan protection.
- As children, Vi and Caitlyn were married for an alliance between Zaun and Piltover. Now that they’re both adults, they are expected to consummate their union or the alliance would fall apart. The only problem is:
- Vi had been a prisoner of war and has serious touch issues as a result
- Caitlyn pines for another (Maddie) and doesn’t want to go through with it
- In order to bring fertility back to the lands of Zaun, Vi and Caitlyn are having a magical sex magic honeymoon to sow fertility in the fields. The only problem is Vi, whose orgasms are central to the magic, doesn’t want to be touched because of [insert canon trauma here].
- Vi is the newly appointed werewolf pack leader without a mate. Caitlyn is in town on the run from a rival pack. Vi offers her protection if Caitlyn agrees to be her temporary mate for the season. The agreement is to part ways after a temporary stint, but the longer Caitlyn spends with Vi, the more she doesn’t want to leave.
- Caitlyn from S3E7 Alternate Universe is magically transported to the Main Timeline where she is married to Vi. Vi helps her find a way back, but Caitlyn ends up falling for Vi. Back in her own timeline, alt!Caitlyn attempts to re-find Vi, only to discover that she was the child that died in the workshop explosion.

Arcane: League of Legends - Mel Medarda/Sevika
I’ve only seen fanart of this rarepair, and I would love to see fanfiction that depicts them as well. My letter goes into more detail about how I see them as a couple; you are not obligated to follow my logic. I would love to see your interpretation of this wonderful ship!
This is how I imagine their dynamic. You are, of course, welcome to imbue your own interpretation if you don't agree.
Mel is impressed by Sevika’s suave political maneuvering. Sevika is not pretty to look at, but she’s self-assured and tough and analytical. Sevika’s priority is the safety and comfort of her people, and she’s willing to do anything (including bend a few rules) to get it. Sevika is slow to trust, but Mel is patient and persistent and thoughtful. When Sevika finally learns to open up, she is rewarded with gentleness and compassion, two things she was resigned to never have for herself. It’s terrifying, but gods does it feel so good.
Sevika is caught off-guard by Mel. Mel’s respect comes too easily, and Sevika can’t shake the feeling that Mel is constantly manipulating the people around her. Sevika is impressed that Mel’s skin is tougher than it looks, and her political principles are uncompromising, even if setting them aside would make her ambitions easier to attain. Mel is able to take care of herself, but Sevika never sees Mel truly relax. When Sevika realizes this, she wants to be someone Mel can let go with.
Between the two of them, Mel is the first to express romantic intentions and make small, casual touches. But Sevika is the one to initiate physical intimacy beyond a kiss.
Here are a few prompts to get you started:
- To secure an alliance with the Medarda family, the Piltover Council nominate Sevika as the unwitting marriage victim (as opposed to another Councillor’s grown-yet-unmarried child). Sevika uses the opportunity to negotiate bringing the Medarda resources through the undercity before they arrive to Piltover, which would boost the undercity’s economy and influence. Mel is impressed by the maneuver though not convinced, and Sevika shows off Zaun’s technology and ingenuity, which would help out the Noxians just as much as anything made by Piltover.
- To spite her mother/family, Mel hires an escort (Sevika) to act as her spouse for several family functions over the course of several years. With every function, they realize how compatible they are as partners, and eventually fall in love.
- Mel is supposed to marry Jayce Tallis, but at her bachelorette party, she makes the impromptu drunken decision to marry the hot butch stripper her maid of honor hired. Sevika is chasing dollars to bring down her medical debt (from getting her arm amputated), so when the drunk heiress and socialite Mel offers to pay off her entire debt for a Vegas-style wedding, Sevika agrees without question. In the aftermath, Sevika refuses to sign the annulment/divorce papers until all the money is in her bank account. Mel doesn’t want to pay, but what other choice does she have?
- Medarda Family advisors keep pushing Mel to marry. Fed up, Mel proposes a contest and designs impossible tasks for contestants/suitors to complete. She will only marry someone who completes every task. Sevika, representing the interests of Zaun, signs up to compete in order to get close to Mel. Sevika doesn’t care about the contest, she just wants international recognition for Zaun’s global contributions. Their unexpected mutual respect ends up bringing them together.
