Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
WB: Rules of succession (Narnia – Lewis), Original ruler(s) of Narnia (Narnia - Lewis), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
How are the laws of succession written in a country where some big cat can just come in at any moment and say ”This one should be the king/queen.”? Is there an Aslan clause? If you want to write more of an actual story it would be interesting to hear about someone else raised to the throne by Aslan. Or not raised because of him choosing someone else. Maybe there is a mandatory waiting period before you can be crowned, just in case? Have there ever been non-human rulers? If they couldn’t be called king/queen, what were they officially? If you want to write meta you don’t have to include any characters at all, I just didn’t request ”Any or No Characters” here because I was not as interested in seeing this from a canon character’s point of view.
DNW:parental death (mentioning it is fine, if the story needs it, but don't focus on it), AU:s other than canon divergent ones, scat, watersports, medical kink, daddy/mommy kink, dental trauma, explicit sexual content involving animals (talking or otherwise, any humanoid creatures such as centaurs and fauns are fair game though.)

Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
WB: The aftermath of the Pevensies leaving for the first time (Narnia - Lewis), WB: Romantic or sexual relationships between humans and non-humans (Narnia – Lewis), Any or No Characters (Narnia - Lewis), Original Character(s) (Narnia - Lewis), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
The disappearance of all members of the royal house at once must have left Narnia in chaos. How did they choose a new ruler? (This could be combined with the previous request, if you like.) How long did they wait for the Pevensies to return before even starting to think about it, much less do anything concrete? I’d be equally interested in a historical account of the main events of political and societal interest at this time, or a more personal narrative, maybe one of the courtiers searching in vain and refusing to give up hope (or sinking into despair).
When there were only a few humans in Narnia they married dryads and wood gods and creatures of that ilk. Were those the only acceptable options? And later on when there were more humans was it still ok to marry non-humans? Did anyone ever fall in love with a centaur, or a faun or even a talking beast (they are very much sapient after all)? And would such a relationship have been accepted or frowned upon or outright banned? Following the Telmarine conquest some dwarfs did marry humans, but was it common at any other time? And did they ever tell those humans the truth?

Realm of the Elderlings - Robin Hobb
WB: Daily life in an elderling city before the cataclysm (Realm of the Elderlings), WB: Being chosen by a dragon in the old days (Realm of the Elderlings), Original elderling character(s) (Realm of the Elderlings), Any or No Characters (Realm of the Elderlings - Robin Hobb), Fanart, Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
Tell me about a craftsperson, or a politician, or an artist. Describe a day at the market, or a festival, or a trade negotiation. Did dragons actually disturb the goings on, or had the people been able to organise everything so that the city ran smoothly, no matter what they got in their heads to do? If you want to go into all the ways skill (and other magics?) were deployed, that would be great. But I’m equally interested in the mundane details of living amongst such wonders. :)
Being chosen by a dragon was a great honor and a privilege. You had to work for it. (Or did you always? Dragons are capricious creatures, one might just suddenly have taken a liking to a random human and you don’t really say no to a dragon…) Were there rituals for officially becoming an elderling? They must have had their own society, inside the general one. How welcoming was it? Did they give tips on managing your dragon, or support while undergoing changes? In the books we never really see the whole process of being shaped by a dragon from the point of view of someone who understands and actively wants what is happening. Did those people still feel frightened at times or was it pure elation? Was it customary for the dragon to consult the human, or did they just do whatever they liked?
Artwise, I’d love to see an elderling city in all its glory. Either from far away or focused on a street, a shop, a person going about their daily tasks. For the other tag, show me the dragon and their elderling bonding, or doing something together, or the changes happening. Or if you think there is some sort of a ceremony for being chosen, that could easily combine both my tags.

Temeraire - Naomi Novik
WB: Scandinavian dragons (Temeraire), WB: The effect of dragons on viking raids (Temeraire), Any or No Characters (Temeraire), Original Character(s) (Temeraire), Fanart, Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
I just suddenly got this craving for viking dragons. I mean, they are a big part of Norse lore and aesthetics, with the dragon ships and carvings on runestones and so on. They should exist, if all the other dragons are real. Lindorms are mentioned in the books, but nothing is really known about them so you are pretty much free to imagine them however you like. Or other breeds of northern dragons.
Since the British Isles and their culture are pretty similar to how it was in the real world at the time, the Norse influence on the language, customs and everything must have been there. So they did raid, or at least trade and settle down in some way. Maybe they ”tamed” dragons before the British did and that was a factor in their success?
Write me an account of the history of these raids, or part of a saga featuring dragons. Or a story of someone ”captaining” a scandinavian dragon. Maybe dragons actually didn’t fight in Scandinavia and stayed home to help with farming? They might have been very useful as transport in the Norwegian fjords, for example.
When it comes to art, a naturalist's illustration of nordic breed(s) would be great. Or a battle scene, warriors riding a dragon to battle. Maybe an artist carving the image of a dragon while looking at the real thing?
