Lock-Keeper - Stan Rogers (Song)
Fic
Every time I listen to this song, I think about how it sounds like the Lock-Keeper, his wife, and the narrator have a nice threeway relationship and I would love a story about that -- any point in the relationship, just that it's the three of them in some kind of romantic dynamic that works for all of them.
Do Not Want: Torture, downer endings, mpreg, A/B/O, infidelity (consensual poly is fine)

Glitter of Gold - Ted Wesley (Song)
Art, Fic
Something dealing with the complicated history and society of the Northwest Territories. Would love something set during the gold rush era, or focused on Inuit experiences, or in 70s when the song was written, or modern.

Deutschland - Rammstein (Music Video)
Art, Fic
If you're a German history buff, (or would like to be) go nuts with the historical AUs, especially the Romans and the Weimar fight club. If you're not or the historical periods are touchy enough that you'd rather leave leave them alone (entirely understandable) I'd also dearly love something more generically fantastic about the armored lady's presence on the battlefield resurrecting soldiers, or the astronaut-priests attending upon the space nun pregnant with puppies, or the cannibal monks with bondage mask guys trapped under their table for some reason. Just be as lush, OTT and weird/fucked-up as the video is, either visually or verbally, and have fun with the imagery and implications. Also, Rammstein was my very first introduction to bandslash as a wee lass, so if by some chance you're into that as well then any of the above with added boning between the guys, or the guys and Germania, would be entirely welcome.

Le Jardin Des Larmes - ZAZ ft. Till Lindemann (Music Video)
Art, Fic
I initially thought the story was told in chronological order, with Zaz somehow raising Till from the dead/whatever he is at the beginning to come keep her company only to kill him and rebury him, but upon closer examination I think the middle part might be a flashback. I do think the idea of him as an undead servant or maybe some kind of spirit/construct of the desert would be cool, but a more mundane sort of murder plot would also be a good time (also, what's up with him being there apparently looking for himself at the end? For her in the alternate version where he strangled her instead? Maybe he's a relative?) Art-wise I just love the beautiful jewel tones it's all shot in so something really capitalizing on that would be great.

Blacksnake - Charming Disaster (Song)
Art, Fic
Summary: I love how witchy this all is. The band describes it as " two powerful figures making efforts to protect themselves from each other using magic spells...or two musicians playing music together in a ritualistic way," which definitely seems like a good jumping-off point - the fact that they seem to be romantically involved while worrying that the other is a harbinger of death could be an entire novel in itself, not to mention all of the potential for magic worldbuilding about what exactly they're doing together/apart. Artistically, a lot of these lines are wonderfully aesthetic though I do especially like "the mirror, cracked and broken, making Xes of my eyes."

Let Him Roll - Guy Clark (Song)
Fic
Treats are welcome and appreciated!
In terms of narrative I’m pretty easy to please, and any rating and/or combination of gender identities and bodies is cool with me. That said, I do have a few DNWs: extreme or explicit violence and torture, noncon or dubcon (unless specified for the fandom), horror, and A/B/O.
Things I love (but in no way require) in fic: found family, sex that is urgent, angry, awkward, or familiar and full of laughter (or all of the above), complicated or fucked up power dynamics (please never think anything in this department will be Too Much), quiet devotion, humor, bittersweet endings, day in the life snapshots, tragically stoic characters who only one other person understands, and damaged people who are trying, whether it's just to do as little harm as possible, or to heal themselves, even a little (😭😭😭😭😭😭). I'm also kinda into genre AUs these days? So, not AUs set in the modern day, but those set in, say, the world of films noir, or westerns (I LOOOOOOOOOVE westerns and would, without exception, adore seeing any of the folks I mention in that context, if they're not already), or gangster movies. Or, shit, gialli, that would be amazing!

Deutschland - Rammstein (Music Video)
Art, Fic
If you're a German history buff, (or would like to be) go nuts with the historical AUs, especially the Romans and the Weimar fight club. If you're not or the historical periods are touchy enough that you'd rather leave leave them alone (entirely understandable) I'd also dearly love something more generically fantastic about the armored lady's presence on the battlefield resurrecting soldiers, or the astronaut-priests attending upon the space nun pregnant with puppies, or the cannibal monks with bondage mask guys trapped under their table for some reason. Just be as lush, OTT and weird/fucked-up as the video is, either visually or verbally, and have fun with the imagery and implications. Also, Rammstein was my very first introduction to bandslash as a wee lass, so if by some chance you're into that as well then any of the above with added boning between the guys, or the guys and Germania, would be entirely welcome.

Le Jardin Des Larmes - ZAZ ft. Till Lindemann (Music Video)
Art, Fic
I initially thought the story was told in chronological order, with Zaz somehow raising Till from the dead/whatever he is at the beginning to come keep her company only to kill him and rebury him, but upon closer examination I think the middle part might be a flashback. I do think the idea of him as an undead servant or maybe some kind of spirit/construct of the desert would be cool, but a more mundane sort of murder plot would also be a good time (also, what's up with him being there apparently looking for himself at the end? For her in the alternate version where he strangled her instead? Maybe he's a relative?) Art-wise I just love the beautiful jewel tones it's all shot in so something really capitalizing on that would be great.

Blacksnake - Charming Disaster (Song)
Art, Fic
Summary: I love how witchy this all is. The band describes it as " two powerful figures making efforts to protect themselves from each other using magic spells...or two musicians playing music together in a ritualistic way," which definitely seems like a good jumping-off point - the fact that they seem to be romantically involved while worrying that the other is a harbinger of death could be an entire novel in itself, not to mention all of the potential for magic worldbuilding about what exactly they're doing together/apart. Artistically, a lot of these lines are wonderfully aesthetic though I do especially like "the mirror, cracked and broken, making Xes of my eyes."

Let Him Roll - Guy Clark (Song)
Fic
Treats are welcome and appreciated!
In terms of narrative I’m pretty easy to please, and any rating and/or combination of gender identities and bodies is cool with me. That said, I do have a few DNWs: extreme or explicit violence and torture, noncon or dubcon (unless specified for the fandom), horror, and A/B/O.
Things I love (but in no way require) in fic: found family, sex that is urgent, angry, awkward, or familiar and full of laughter (or all of the above), complicated or fucked up power dynamics (please never think anything in this department will be Too Much), quiet devotion, humor, bittersweet endings, day in the life snapshots, tragically stoic characters who only one other person understands, and damaged people who are trying, whether it's just to do as little harm as possible, or to heal themselves, even a little (😭😭😭😭😭😭). I'm also kinda into genre AUs these days? So, not AUs set in the modern day, but those set in, say, the world of films noir, or westerns (I LOOOOOOOOOVE westerns and would, without exception, adore seeing any of the folks I mention in that context, if they're not already), or gangster movies. Or, shit, gialli, that would be amazing!
