Dear Rigel Black Ex Creator,

Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user

graveexcitement). I'm really excited for this exchange! Thanks in advance for writing for me. I hope one or more of these prompts inspires you, but optional details are optional; feel free to ignore the prompts or only use part of them if a different idea strikes you!

I've also read and enjoyed all of the fic-of-fic Revolutionary Arc; it won't always be compatible with my prompts, but otherwise I'd welcome Rev Arc fic!

Do Not Wants:
-I'm not interested in smut for this exchange.

General likes/favorite tropes:
I may not put most of these into my request-specific prompts, but if you want to jump off one of these tropes instead of or in addition to using the specific prompts, that's cool too!

-Ruse reveal scenes
-Telepathy
-Bodyswapping or bodysharing
-Bickering/bantering
-Time travel/time loops
-Canon divergence/For Want of a Nail
-Cuddling/snuggling/falling asleep together
-Hurt/comfort (especially sickfic)
-Humor

Requests:

1. [Harriet Potter | Rigel Black, Tom Marvolo Riddle]
Ships: None

I loved Rigel and Riddle arguing in Parseltongue in public in the latest chapter, haha. I am here for this extremely cantankerous/petty "mentor"-student relationship.

-I'd love for Riddle to find out Rigel's secret, only to realize that he's in too deep; he has too much invested in Rigel to throw him away now. As such, he has to grudgingly assist Rigel with the ruse -- though I'm sure he won't do so for free.
-Riddle and Rigel join forces to fight Voldemort, possibly even dueling him side-by-side.

2. [Harriet Potter | Rigel Black, Fred Weasley, George Weasley]
Ships: This can be platonic, Rigel/one twin, or Rigel/both twins.

I love Rigel's friendship with the twins! They are supportive of her in a different way than most of her Slytherin friends, and they help ease her tension. Also, love the twins being protective over their puppy!

-The twins find out about the ruse and are caught between thinking it's the Greatest Prank Ever, and being Very Worried about Rigel's well-being.
-The twins ask Rigel to the Yule Ball, and she accepts because of the humor potential (and to stick it to Riddle.) But afterward, she starts developing feelings for one or both twins...

3. [Harriet Potter | Rigel Black, Caelum Lestrange]
Ships: Harry/Caelum
Caelum is an asshole, but he's someone Harry can be herself with, and someone who matches Harry's passion for potions. I'd love to see their relationship explored.

-Harry is matchmade with Caelum, and reluctantly accepts (whether due to pressure from Riddle, or Archie mooning over Hermione, or whatever). Neither the Potters nor the Lestranges are happy about this, but Harry and Caelum get on like a house on fire (possibly literally) and revolutionize potions in the process.
-The ruse blows up, but Caelum will be damned if he lets the only other young potioneer on his level be caught and sent to Azkaban.
-Epistolary fic: Harry and Caelum send scathing letters bickering about potions and who has the better apprenticeship.

4. [The Dominion Jewel | Dom, Harriet Potter | Rigel Black]
Ships: None

Dom super intrigues me, and so does his relationship with Harry. Does he intend to betray her if he gets the chance, or on her side, pushing her towards his ideal of greatness? I have to say, I'm hoping for the latter. I'd love to see their relationship explored!

-Dom finds or creates a weakness in the mental construct he's trapped in and exploits it. As a result, he's less bound by Harry's rules, and can start affecting more than just Harry's mindscape. How will Harry handle sharing a body with a megalomaniac gem?
-Dom fights off a legilimantic incursion - from Riddle, Voldemort, the Rod of Zuriel, whoever. His bragging about his occlumantic defenses prove to be well-founded.
-Dom defends/supports Harry in a time of crisis, possibly by casting magic through her. For once, he proves trustworthy.

5. [Percy Weasley]
There's one main thing I'm after with this request: Lawyer Percy. He was great in Rev Arc, and I've wanted more ever since. This can be either set in Rev Arc verse or RBC canon; either way, I'd love some courtroom drama with Percy!

-Harry is caught and put on trial for blood identity theft. Percy is her lawyer.
-Rev Arc verse: one or more of the Bridge crew is tried for sedition/etc; Percy represents them in court.
-(Rev Arc: If you want to include Justice somehow, that'd be more than welcome!)

I hope you are inspired by something in this letter! Good luck, and have fun!

Sincerely,
Grave
