femslashafterdarkUnfortunately, the opening of the collection will be delayed, as not all participants who completed their assignments have a gift themselves yet.
Thank you for your patience; we will keep the community updated as and when we have more information to provide. As stated previously, we will give at least two hours' warning before the collection goes live.
We are aware of people working on two of the three remaining pinch hits, but at present we are still looking for someone to help with #7, reposted below. ETA: the recipient has updated their request with further details, and an additional fandom. Please do take a look to see if you can help.
Post-deadline #7: Neon Genesis Evangelion, Yozakura Quartet, Kingdom Hearts, Puella Magi Madoka Magica
General DNW:
Guro/Gore/Body Horror that isn't in keeping with canon
Watersports/Scat
Ageplay
Pregnancy/Childbirth
Complete AUs - Canon Divergence is OK, Life is Strange AUs are also an exception
Character Death
Request 1 by Xairathan
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Specific DNWs: Asuka/Mari or any mention of it
Requested Ship: Ayanami Rei/Souryuu Asuka Langley
I don't think there's any fic that deals with the post-Armisael events. Asuka would just have been discharged as a pilot and wandered off into the ruins of Tokyo-3 (to be later found in a bathtub staring up at the sky), and Rei would have just come back into a new clone body. I'd love something that deals with Asuka's anger towards Rei (for being 'a doll' and for still being a pilot) and Rei's apathy towards everything that isn't Gendo's plan and failure to remember any details about Asuka given that she's just been activated.
Requested Ship: Ikari Yui/Makinami Mari Illustrious
Taking place in either the post-3.0 era or the manga Extra Stage era.
If it's post 3.0 then Mari would be focused on Yui's recovery and Yui would be trying to find out everything that's happened and who she knows that's still alive (mostly Gendo/Shinji, as I don't think she'd realize Mari is still alive). Fic can focus on Yui and Mari catching up, Mari having to deal with Yui finally coming back in a physical body, or Yui learning to what extent every went to try and achieve their goals.
For Extra Stage era, they have sex in the science lab. Nothing that results or can result in grievous bodily harm, please. If you want to bring in Mari's 'feeling inferior to Yui as both a student and a person' complex go wild with it.
Requested Ship: Ayanami Rei/Shikinami Asuka Langley
*Ayanami Rei/Shikinami Asuka' is a catch-all tag the fandom generally uses for AsukaxRei (2.0 era) or AsukaxRei-Q (3.0 era) so either pairing is fine. If it's 3.0 era, we call 'Rei-Q' 'Kyu' to distinguish and make her name easier to type.
If it's 2.0 era, I'm thinking something that both Asuka and Rei know is going to be a one-time thing, like Asuka coming to Rei's apartment on the day before the party/the Unit-03 test is scheduled, or one cornering the other in the lockers or some isolated part of NERV HQ. Feel free to bring in their emotions, like Asuka's conflicting jealousy and desire for Rei to be happy, and Rei having to rationalize whatever her feelings are towards Asuka. The whole affair should be messy for both of them, and leave them more confused than before.
If it's 3.0 era, Asuka is focused around protecting Kyu at all costs. Whether that manifests as physical concern and refusing to go far from her, or as Asuka pushing herself harder to defeat NERV and protect the ship even if it'll turn her more and more angelic, is up to you. This fic can either go the hurt/comfort or the darkfic direction.

Yozakura Quartet
Requested Ship: Isone Kotoha/Nanami Ao
Specific Wants: Power-related play (Kotoha's lightning, Ao's ears), Loss of control (if darkfic)
Kotoha and Ao have the worst case of 'cannot spit it out' in part because they're involved in a conflict that won't let up until it resolves (in 1 month's time in canon), but a prophecy also exists that when that time comes, one of the main cast will be 'missing'. I'd like to see how Kotoha/Ao deal with their feelings after learning of the prophecy, Alternatively, for a darkfic, it could come from a canon divergence where instead of being recruited by the Quartet after gaining her powers, Kotoha isn't befriended by anyone and instead becomes a rogue Kotodama-user who helps the Quartet when she feels like it, but in exchange for her isolation is more prone to losing control of her powers, and maybe even losing her sense of self and entering another rampage.
Request 3 by Xairathan
Kingdom Hearts
Requested Ship: Naminé/Xion
I don't really have any specific scenario requests for this one. Maybe something canon compliant with Xion and/or Namine sneaking away to visit the other when DiZ/the Organization aren't looking, or for canon divergence, Namine trying to summon Xion into being but only ever succeeding for short periods of time before she vanishes/is forgotten again, or even Namine using the digitization device that DiZ uses on Roxas in KH2 to create some form of Xion.
Request 4 by Xairathan
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Requested Ship: Akemi Homura/Sakura Kyouko
Specific Wants: Darkfic
For pre-Rebellion era fic, I'm thinking Homura and Kyouko in a territory battle that can happen during or before the anime canon. It can be decided by a duel (in which neither of them play fair), a flat out ambush set by one, or mutual agreement. While I love their 'independent magical girl' attitudes, I'd also like to see one or both of them to start pushing into personal matters to either goad them on or cause emotional pain as a distraction during battle. Basically, a no holds barred clash between the two of them that can end with them seeing the commonalities in each other or hating each other's guts even more than before.
For post-Rebellion era, I would love something like Kyouko trying to reach Homura to convince her to undo what she's done or rethink her actions, only for Homura (or her familiars) to capture Kyouko and leave her for Homura to play with at her leisure. It can be anything from psychological torture to just a game of chess every day, the point being that Homura wants to either break Kyouko to her side or convince her to leave her alone. Homura can also start having second thoughts/regrets about what she's doing, and if she does it's up to you whether she does act on those feelings or not.
