Dear Rigel Black Ex Creator,

Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user

graveexcitement). I'm really excited to do

rigelblackex again! 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!

Do Not Wants:
-Rape/non-con
-Bathroom kinks (watersports, scat)

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
-Soulmate AUs (especially if they're somewhat "messy," like if there's multiple types of soulmates (platonic, romantic, maybe even enemy) and/or different kinds of soulmark mechanisms, like some people have "first words" and some people have "sharing dreams" and some people have "their soulmates' lies are written on their skin" -- or anything else weird/messy you come up with!)
-Canon divergence/For Want of a Nail
-Cuddling/snuggling/falling asleep together
-Hurt/comfort (especially sickfic)
-Humor

All of my requests are for fanfic, and set in the Rigel Black Chronicles universe.
Requests:

1. [Harriet Potter | Rigel Black, Tom Marvolo Riddle]
Relationship type: Gen

I loved Rigel and Riddle arguing in Parseltongue in public in TFF chapter 11, haha. I am here for this extremely cantankerous/petty "mentor"-student relationship.

-I'd love for Riddle to find out Rigel's secret (before the ruse comes crashing down), only to realize that he's in too deep; he has too much invested in Rigel to throw her 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.
-Riddle gives Rigel some form of lessons, and Rigel grudgingly realizes there are things he can teach her.
-Rigel travels back in time to when Riddle was a student.

2. [Harriet Potter | Rigel Black, Fred Weasley, George Weasley]
Relationship types: Gen, Romance (for romance, Rigel/either Fred or George, your choice!)

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!

Note that these prompts include both twins, but feel free to only focus on one twin + Harry.

-The twins find out about the ruse pre-tournament finale 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 of them...
-The twins prank Riddle in retribution for everything Rigel's gone through during the Tournament.
-The twins happen to figure out Harry's real identity and vow to support her.

3. [The Dominion Jewel | Dom, Harriet Potter | Rigel Black]
Relationship types: Gen, Romance

Dom super intrigues me, and so does his relationship with Harry. I'd love to see him on her side, pushing her towards his ideal of greatness. I'm down for either gen or romance (would be interested to see how you pulled off the latter!)

Prompts:
-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?
-During the tournament finale fiasco, Dom hijacks Voldemort's new body and kicks the ass of Voldemort's very surprised followers. What new chaos will he cause?
-Harry coerces Caelum into helping her with the body-creation potion to give Dom a body. (For extra fun: Dom then pretends to be the RBC for fun and profit.)
-Harry travels back in time (to a time period of your choice); the only one she can rely on is Dom.

4. [Harriet Potter | Rigel Black, Kasten]
Relationship types: Gen, Romance

If you know me, you know I'm a vampire fan, and I especially like Kasten and his relationship with Harry. I'm down for gen or romance between these two.

Prompts:
*chants* Vampire Harry, Vampire Harry, Vampire Harry...
-Harry is at risk of dying, so the Strigoi Shrouds turn her to save her (un)life.
-The Aurors are closing in, and the only way for Harry to not be tried for blood identity theft is to take advantage of an obscure loophole in the laws: only humans can be accused of blood identity theft. As a vampire, she can't be charged with it.
-The Shrouds decide that Harry would be a good addition to their clan, whether or not she wants to be. Kasten sympathizes.

Or for non-vampire Harry:
-Harry and Kasten doing potions together! Love these nerds.
-Harry helping out the Shrouds in the wake of the attacks on the Lamia Lodge, which leads to her and Kasten growing closer. (Bonus if she helps Kasten heal Gavril!)
-The Shrouds' attack on the Crypts goes poorly, leaving Kasten and Gavril as the sole remaining members of the clan. Harry does what she can to help. (Honestly, this one could easily lend itself to Vampire Harry as well...)

5. [Matheus Sousa]
Relationship types: Gen

"You just want good things for Sousa. And really, who wouldn't?"

My favorite weed boy needs more fics. Ship-wise, I'm partial to Sousa/Rigel, Sousa/Fred, or Sousa/George, but that's totally optional — I'd mostly just like to see more Sousa!

Prompts:
-Fred and George invite Matheus over to the Burrow. Chaos ensues.
-Matheus joins Fred and George to help them with Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Rigel feels a deep sense of foreboding.
-Rigel and Matheus bond over potions.
-Really, anything Sousa would be great. (I realized recently that I'm the only one who's ever written him [pleading emoji].)

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

Sincerely,
Grave
