Likes: Competence porn, long passages of lovingly crafted exposition, plot, exposition, happiness/uplifting/powerful stuff, happy endings, competence porn, generic nerdery, "sensawunda", that emotion that comes with having things click in place, Shown Their Work details, tea

DNWs: Humiliation, embarrassment, violence to fingers or eyes, present tense (unless in 2nd person), first person, pregnancy, rape, slice of life, things focusing on parenthood/interpretable as "mommy propaganda"

Character: Dazhis Athmaza (fic)
Canon Divergence AU: Dazhis fesses up before the coup attempt. What happens? Does Maia forgive him? Can Maia forgive him?
Andother canon divergence AU: What if the coup succeeds as planned? What then?
Why did Dazhis choose to participate in the coup attempt?

Character: Vedero Drazhin (fic)
Vedero studies the stars. What drew her to it? Has she discovered anything? How does she study them? What does she think when she's up on that rooftop by herself? Is there much light pollution?
What are Vedero's latest scientific discoveries? What are her salons like? (Does Kiru participate? Csethiro? Any of the other named female characters?) How closely interlinked are her and ((Dach')os)min Tativin's researches and the local academia? Is she mentoring anyone? Does she have a mentor?
(Please, no issuefic/excessive dwelling on hardships she's suffered.)

Relationship: Thara Celehar/Aina Shulivar (fic)
Does Shulivar seduce Celahar (and if so, why? Curneise recruitement? "keep your enemies closer"? does he just find him sexy?) or does Celehar find Shulivar attractive – somehow reminiscent of Evru Dalar? – or does Celehar think it convenient to seduce the Curneise leader for better intel? Basically, how does the relationship happen in all its fucked-up glory, and why, and how does it affect the characters?
(I'd prefer if they were both experiencing ~emotions~ by the end, though utilitarian starts are fine.)

Worldbuilding: Linguistics (fic, meta)
So. I know that I've done some reconstruction, and you may find that intimidating, but please, I want to hear your interpretation! What of the phonology? How would you reconstruct the rhotic? Do you have any ideas on corresponding phonemes between Elven and Goblin? What grammar can you extract and extrapolate from canon?
Ficwise: philologists arguing about something? An elven and a goblin academic squeeing over a correspondence? Something about barbarians?

Worldbuilding: Magic System (fic, meta)
TELL ME EVERYTHING. How does it work? What is it? What are its limitations? How is it taught? How does the maza system fit with regards to the prelacy's magic?
Ficwise: novices on lessons? Dachenmazei passionately arguing over something?

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. [community profile] snowflake_challenge

I do have some rec posts, but here are some TGE things!

Peace & Purring by [archiveofourown.org profile] bigsunglasses is pure cat-related adorable fluffytimes, very good as a pick-me-up after sad, tragic, or scary fics.

It’s Not the Size of the Airship; or, Less Tashin, More Passion by [archiveofourown.org profile] Island_of_Reil is comedic Cala/Beshelar porn about Beshelar being insecure about his "tashin stick" and Cala easing his fears.

Michen Mura by [archiveofourown.org profile] Path is about Maia visiting the craftsmen who'll make replacements for the michen mura lost with Varenechibel.
