Dear Yulegoat!
Hi! ♥
Firstly, for all of these requests, I would be delighted with any story about these characters and there's no idea I have my heart set on, so please write whatever works for you because I am 1000% sure I will love it. All this is just here for inspiration, and free feel to disregard all of it if you already have something else in mind!
Links that might be useful:
AO3: afterism

Things I Like: fics of all ratings, magical realism, silliness, adventure, case fic, science and pseudoscience and the Indiana Jones style of archaeology, terrible jokes (and good jokes), competency, fantasy & urban fantasy, myths and legends and fairytales, apocalypse and post-apocalypse fic, swordfights, distinctive/atmospheric settings, epistolary fic, roadtrip fic, domesticity, slices of life and anything that reveals character.
Also; what-if type AUs (where it's still the same characters in essentially the same universe, but anything else can change), space AUs, people acquiring pets, loyalty kink, moral ambiguity, first times, getting together rather than established relationship, threesomes as a solution to love triangles, power imbalances, mind control, shameless tropes (groundhog day! fake dating! bodyswap! sudden telepathy! we must share body heat to survive!), cross-dressing, first times, enemies-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, happy or hopeful endings.
I love seeing characters showing affection in their own unique way, relationships being important and intense and not necessarily romantic, relationships that are physically intimate before becoming emotionally intimate, relationships that only make sense to the people involved, and love being anything but straightforward.
I celebrate Christmas in a non-religious way, so I would be very happy to read festive fic for any of these fandoms if that's where your inspiration takes you!
Porn is very welcome for Bedazzled and Invisible Library, but is not required at all. Vanilla sex and smut that focuses entirely on what the characters are thinking and feeling is always lovely. If you want to write kinks, my favourites include verbal/honour bondage, light bondage, femdom, d/s elements that aren't painstakingly negotiated and both characters are conveniently into, sex pollen, desperation leading to frottage & sex with clothes on. Please avoid femsub, anything to do with collars, necks/breathing being impeded in any way, bloodplay, and bodily fluids that aren't commonly involved in sex.
DNW: non-con, serious illnesses, permanent character death, animal cruelty or death, anything to do with pregnancy or kids, bleak and hopeless endings.
Bedazzled (1967)
George Spiggott | The Devil, Stanley Moon
If you're unfamiliar with the fandom but curious: it's a film starring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, about a man who sells his soul to Lucifer in exchange for seven wishes, which in theory he uses to woo the woman of his dreams but mostly he just becomes accidental BFFs with the Devil. (IMDB)
I'd love to see more of the club - maybe Stanley decides to do George a favour and go work for him there, to be his only employee that's both competent and actually likes him? I do love the discussions on God and angels and hierarchy, if you wanted to write them just talking about heaven and hell for the whole fic. Or, something set during the film - you could expand on any of the realities that Stanley's wishes created, or explore what other wishes Stanley might have made if he'd been nudged in another direction.
Gen would of course be lovely, but if you're tempted by Stanley/George then firstly, please know that I am so down for that, and secondly, here are some thoughts: it could be a temptation, a curiosity, friends helping out friends, a twist to a wish that turns out surprisingly well for the both of them, somehow it's Lust's fault, somehow it's Envy's fault, Stanley realises he has genuine feelings, George realises he has genuine feelings and acts accordingly/terribly - anything. (Also, I've been recently reminded how much I love fake dating, and I would love it for these two -- but this film is set in the 1960s, so it would be more than fine if George looks like a girl to everyone except Stanley when they're in public.)
Dogs Lost In A Maze That Is Also In Egypt (VitaminWater Ad)
If you're unfamiliar with the fandom but curious: It's a 30 second trailer for the movie of my dreams. Watch it and find out more here
I don't want anything serious or porny or with any animals being harmed. (OC villainous humans can fall into a pit of lava or get eaten by mummies or whatever you like, as long as it doesn't upset the dogs!) Perilous situations are fine, as long as they all escape unscathed.
Also I have no feelings either way about VitaminWater, so feel free to include any references to that or not.

Zayanna
If you're unfamiliar with the fandom but curious: It's a series of fantasy books about alternate realities, dragons, fae, and the importance of stories. They're adventurous and fun and a joy to read (goodreads)
We know so little about her, so really anything that explores who she is and where she came from would be amazing. Please go wild with what her homeworld is like - obviously it's got to have snakes, but I don't mind if it's desertpunk or cyberpunk or whatever else you want to create. I love the way the books play with the expectations of narratives and character archetypes, and I'm always happy to see more of that. Feel free to set it before The Burning Page, or have her survive somehow. I was heartbroken by her death, so resurrecting her with minimal explanation is more than okay.
Ships: Gen is absolutely fine! I do ship Zayanna/Irene, in all its "I'll drop you into a pit of snakes and then we can have cocktails" complicated glory - perhaps Zayanna finally gets that hero seduction she was promised, or finds that her narratives work better with Irene in the middle of them. I would be equally happy to see any femslash with Zayanna - perhaps with her 'sisters' (in a convent-like sense or an incest-like sense, I don't think Fae mind!), or with a passing heroine who stumbles into the wrong chamber.
Totally optional crossover: She once mentioned having nothing to drink at home but mushroom wine, which immediately made me think of Fallen London. If that's also your thing then I would be delighted to see something where the Neath is her home! (I play Sunless Sea as well, if you want to include any characters or locations from that.)
Again, these are all just thoughts I'm throwing at you in the hope that it might help spark something, but please don't feel limited by any of it! Thank you so much for signing up for this exchange, and if you love any of these fandoms then I already love you. ♥♥♥

Anything in the spirit of the film would be perfect! Maybe something post-canon, with Stanley moving on with his life and George continuing to be a constant chaotic force within it, or George finds someone new to trick and likes to bring Stanley along for the ride, regardless of how Stanley feels about it, or perhaps a slight AU where Stanley wishes for something else and/or George interprets his wishes differently.My favourite thing about this film is the bizarre friendship that forms between Stanley and George, and how they genuinely seem to be a good influence on each other. I love how George is the only person who's ever taken an interest in Stanley, and how he's the only person he can really talk to - and how Stanley seems to think George is genuinely a good bloke who does bad things because it's his job, and that Stanley cares about him and wants the best for him. I'd love to see them continuing their unique type of friendship after the film ends - does George keep trying to tempt Stanley, and is there ever a point where he succeeds (and if so, does he give his soul back again for the right reasons this time)?
I'd love to see more of the club - maybe Stanley decides to do George a favour and go work for him there, to be his only employee that's both competent and actually likes him? I do love the discussions on God and angels and hierarchy, if you wanted to write them just talking about heaven and hell for the whole fic.

Dogs Lost In A Maze That Is Also In Egypt (VitaminWater Ad)
If you're unfamiliar with the fandom but curious: It's a 30 second trailer for the movie of my dreams. Watch it and find out more here
I have never fallen in love so quickly as I have fallen in love with this trailer. I just want more! What's at the centre of the maze? Are there bigger things going on, or did they just follow the smell of treats into this giant maze? Are they good dogs, or very good dogs? I'd love to see them having dog-level intelligence and still figuring things out - but a fic about three dogs trotting around and smelling interesting smells and stumbling across the [ancient mystery/dog psychologist/confused tomb-raiding owner who didn't expect their dogs to follow them/whatever!] at the end of the maze would be just as delightful.I have less to say about this canon because it is so much shorter than the others, but that doesn't mean I want it any less!
I don't want anything serious or porny or with any animals being harmed. (OC villainous humans can fall into a pit of lava or get eaten by mummies or whatever you like, as long as it doesn't upset the dogs!) Perilous situations are fine, as long as they all escape unscathed.

Zayanna
If you're unfamiliar with the fandom but curious: It's a series of fantasy books about alternate realities, dragons, fae, and the importance of stories. They're adventurous and fun and a joy to read (goodreads)
I would love anything that showed more of who Zayanna is. I would love to see more of her homeworld, and what her life was before she met Irene - the brief mentions of her home make it sound like a medieval high fantasy kind of place, but it doesn't have to be! I'd love to know about her sisters and the snakes and the heroes she never gets to seduce. Or, what's it like being Fae? Are there other spheres she loves to visit? She seems happy to slip into whatever character archetype suits the scene, but what's the world like when she's the protagonist?She is the morally flexible queen of my heart, and I would love anything that celebrated her. I love how casually affectionate and villainous she is, the way she dresses and how she's not remotely body-shy, how her ambitions seem to be more about getting to do something fun for once rather than taking over the world. The fact that in The Burning Page she was genuinely Irene's friend while also trying to kill her is exactly why I love her.
We know so little about her, so really anything that explores who she is and where she came from would be amazing. Please go wild with what her homeworld is like - obviously it's got to have snakes, but I don't mind if it's desertpunk or cyberpunk or whatever else you want to create. I love the way the books play with the expectations of narratives and character archetypes, and I'm always happy to see more of that.
