Hello! I’m really excited for this exchange! As will soon be clear, I really like watching my faves be tortured (or torture themselves or others) and suffer, and I don’t mind how dark you need to get to make that happen, as long as it doesn’t hit my DNWs.
My ramblings are non-binding — I’m happy to consider other headcanons always — so if anything catches your eyes in the freeforms, go wherever it takes you! Also, feel free to use any freeform from any request in any of these: I just picked the ones I felt most appropriate for each request.
Finally, my past letters are fair game, except in regards to my DNWs (I’ve come to love things I used to avoid) — only use this letter for DNWs please! But all my prompts and likes are fair game, so I’ve linked to them for pairings I’ve previously requested.

My favourite thing about Jude is that she would never let her happiness or comfortableness get in the way of what she wanted/felt she needed to do. I love watching her being pushed to her limit and then a few steps further. It’s delightful. Please torture Jude!
For these two ships, I’m imagining her either determined to show her loyalty to Daine, or having to keep up the act that she’s under a gaes with Balekin. But I’m also happy to see other interpretations and ideas, from any point in canon. If you want to do an AU where one of them doesn’t die, that works too.
Also, for this & all my Folk of the Air requests, feel free to lean hard into the inhuman elements of the fae and the difference in values and ethics, as well as their attitudes towards mortals.

Just like I like watching Jude suffer, I want to see Cardan suffer with her! I like watching them destroy themselves and each other in different ways while trying to deny what they actually want. This is probably the canon couple closest to my id and I like seeing all variations of them!
For non- and dubcon, I prefer Cardan to be the aggressor (or an external party, in the case of bad guys made them do it/giving Jude as a present to Cardan).
I had pre- and during canon stuff (missing scenes work) in mind for most of these tags, but if you can find ways to make it work post-canon, I’d be up for that. On the other hand, for the amnesia tags, I’m very into post-canon — one of them having all that love and trust erased would be delicious! Or, sacrificing your lover for the greater good — like killing snake!Cardan for real and having to deal with the consequences?

Similar to my Jude request, I want to see Taryn pushed to her limits. I love the way she picks a very different path from his sister and is determined to prove she can be a good little mortal to the determent of her own values. I want to see more of her eagerness to please and the lengths she’ll go to to ensure the two men in her life continue showing affection for her.
What does Locke make her do to prove that she’s worthy of his love, both pre- and post-marriage? And/or how does Madoc show his fatherly affection and test her loyalty after one of his daughters has betrayed him? I don’t mind these ships happening in combination either. My preference for Taryn/Madoc, however, would be for it to be happening either during The Wicked King or between The Wicked King and The Queen of Nothing, after she’s made her betrayal and shown loyalty to her father.
If you want to do later in the canon or post-canon (inc. AU for Locke living), I’m okay with her having come to her senses, trying to break free of the cycle of abuse she’s gotten herself into (and either failing or succeeding to do so)! Or the lead-up to her killing Locke, when he starts going too far, could be juicy!

I have a real soft spot for barely-in-control guys who think themselves much smarter than they are. And I love it when they start to come undone and make mistakes or do things they didn’t think they were capable of. I also adore stubborn characters like Rose who are sure-footed and unafraid, defiant until the last. I like both unrequited and requited pining for this ship.
As the tags imply, I’m happy for this to be either dark but consensual or dark because it’s not fully consensual. AUs where Hux lives or becomes a Resistance spy are very much on the table, as is pre-canon where they’ve somehow met before or canon divergence where the Order wins and Rose is captured.
For noncon/dubcon tags, I’d prefer Hux to be the aggressor unless it’s an external party forcing both their hands, please!

The Sugar Plum Fairy, in Episode 13, has really shown the lengths she went to to protect the magic in Calorum. “Protect” being the generous interpretation. But what really interested me was hearing about how at odds her vision was with Lazuli’s vision when Lazuli was still alive. I particularly like the way the SPF hides behind an almost childlike innocence, and how different her values are from humans.
I’m up for all the fucked up ways the SPF asserts her control, tortures Lazuli, or tries to get Lazuli to give up on her plans. Torturing her post-death, but during the mist, is also a lot of fun — perhaps by threatening Caramelinda, given Caramelinda is a magic user? Playing with Lazuli’s divination skills could also be interesting.

I love how self-loathing and tortured Edward is in some of the runs he’s in. I also just adore Harley and the way she carries herself through the world. I particularly like the dynamic when Edward is head-over-heels in love with Harley, who either only has casual feelings for him, or none at all.
For these two, I’ve included some more casefic-y tags, since it would be cool to see them grapple with a murder or similar while dealing with their messy friendship/relationship or Harley’s past. But I’m also up for anything else you can think of that works with my tags — and feel free to interpret the abuse tags from the traditional, i.e. Harley coping with the fallout of the Joker, or the non-traditional side, i.e. it’s Edward who’s gotten out of an abusive relationship with someone/dealing with the aftermath of rape.
Fandom Specific DNW: Bisexual erasure of Harley — it doesn’t need to actually come up at all, but if it does, I don’t want her to be straight.
