Belatedly, here's the third challenge!

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

This one stalled me because I love art so much that it was hard to think of anything else! I'm flattered by getting podficced, but because my particular autistic auditory issues don't work well with audiobooks/podcasts/etc, it's not something I'd specifically ask for. But images are great (graphics or more traditional art). So I'll go for what I honestly would most like at this moment in time:

1. I haven't even written it yet (...okay, mostly haven't written it), but I'd love some kind of art/graphic/whatnot for the Commander Bennet (P&P/Mass Effect) AU, especially involving Elizabeth (as Commander Bennet aka FemShep) and/or Darcy (as Dr. Illia T'Arzi aka Liara, though she looks more like Aria in something like Liara's clothes in my head, haha). I envision Elizabeth as an Infiltrator-like tech expert and Illia as a powerful, skilled biotic who occasionally remembers that guns exist.

2. In terms of fic I have written, probably the single fic I would most like a visual gift for is The Jedi and the Sith Lord, the third fic in my f!Luke Skywalker series, but the first one where the plot truly is drastically and permanently wrenched off the rails by the AU. The entire fic is about what happens after Lucy (f!Luke) gets taken captive by Anakin/Vader in the previous fic, and I'm not sure how many of you seeing this have read it (if any!), but I've always thought art of the scene where Lucy strikes her deal with Vader (in Ch 16) would be really cool. But really anything for it would be awesome—it's one of my most beloved of my fics (not necessarily the best, but one of the dearest to me personally).

3. Art of Tolkien canon Faramir—long black hair (not shoulder-length "long," long enough to stream out in the wind and mingle with the considerably shorter Éowyn's), naturally beardless, grey eyes, with the canonical "fair face" (as in pretty, not pale), very tall. Bonus for a more Byzantine aesthetic that would contrast with the usual quasi-western medieval vibe. Bonus if with Éowyn (blonde, grey eyes) or Aragorn (also beardless, tall, greying hair).

3b. Speaking of the Faramir/Éowyn scene, a variant: I mentioned on Tumblr awhile back that in an earlier draft, Éowyn cut her hair as part of her male disguise. People quibbled with me being like "hey that would be cool too" but I stand by the greatness of long-haired Faramir+post-haircut Éowyn.

4. Since this is a random wish list and not an exchange, I'll actually go wild: bookverse f/f Faramir/Aragorn in basically any medium. My personal preference would be for f!Aragorn to be a tough, hardened warrior and f!Faramir to not be a warrior at all.

5. Something for Love, Pride & Delicacy.

Looking over these, all but one involve genderbent characters. Ah well, I am what I am.
