Pinch hits: two outstanding and one new!

[thedevilchicken]

Pinch hits are due at 20:59 BST (UTC+1) Thursday 9 September. View the countdown here.

Every signed up participant who has completed their assignment by the deadline (or with an agreed extension) must have a gift before the collection can open.

To claim, please comment with your AO3 username (comments are screened) and the name/number of the pinch hit you want to claim. You don't have to be signed up to the exchange to claim a pinch hit, but you do need an AO3 account.

The minimum requirements are 1000 words or a completed piece of fanart, involving a requested fandom/ship/AU/medium combination. Fic should be a completed standalone work. Art should be original work created entirely by you; icons, manips, etc. cannot fulfil art requests.

Please check the details carefully! At least one of these contains fanart-only requests.

Any questions: comment here, email thedevilchicken+auex@gmail.com or DM me on Discord if we share a server.

PDPH #11: Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate, Lupin (TV 2021), Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan

Request 1 by primeideal
Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate
Aftran 942/Cassie (Animorphs - Applegate), Aftran 942 & Cassie (Animorphs - Applegate), Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill & Tobias (Animorphs - Applegate), Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul/Loren (Animorphs - Applegate), Medium: Fanfiction, ALL: Canonically Dead Parent Survived To Raise Their Children, ALL: Like canon but as if written by an AI, ALL: Like canon but events unfold as if in a crackfic, ALL: Magical environment/species conservation scientist au, ALL: Myst AU

Canonically Dead Parent Survived To Raise Their Children - Elfangor stays on Earth? For how long? What changes? Does Ax ever come, or do the Andalites focus elsewhere?
Like canon but as if written by an AI - anything involving these characters will make me smile!
Like canon but events unfold as if in a crackfic - ditto
Magical environment/species conservation scientist au - I'm thinking Cassie here as some kind of magical botanist, and Aftran as a nonhuman creature who she gets stuck with. Or maybe Cassie's working on how to protect the Hork-Bajir with Aftran's reluctant help?
Myst AU - any of these characters tripping around islands or solving puzzles. Is it an Ellimist trick? Did the Time Matrix send Elfangor and Loren somewhere weird? Is Ax unhelpfully trying to eat everything while mentioning he saw a puzzle like this in school (but he was asleep?)

DNWs:
-explicit sex
-underage characters having sex

-allegories of current events and/or contemporary politics
-character or religion bashing
-cliffhanger endings
-themes of cynicism or futility, or that the (canon's) main plotlines "are for nothing"

Lupin (TV 2021)
Assane Diop/Youssef Guedira (Lupin), Medium: Fanfiction, ALL: Characters become friends/allies earlier than canon, ALL: Da Vinci Code AU, ALL: heist-style story but fantasy setting, All: Murder on the Orient Express fusion, All: Secret Agents AU but Identity is Continually Blown Due to a Recognizable Butt, ALL: Soulmarks - mark can be the name of your greatest love or your worst enemy

Characters become friends/allies earlier than canon - maybe Guedira is honest about everything at the beginning of Part II, or Assane admits that he figured it out anyway?
Da Vinci Code AU - traipsing around French art museums to solve a murder and/or undercover a religious conspiracy? Yes please.
heist-style story but fantasy setting - setting change into a secondary universe or urban fantasy, either is good!
Murder on the Orient Express fusion - doesn't need to stick too closely to that plot, just mysteries/secret relationships/shenanigans with everyone trapped on a train.
Secret Agents AU but Identity is Continually Blown Due to a Recognizable Butt - if you thought Guedira's friends gave him a hard time before, things are going to be even worse
Soulmarks - mark can be the name of your greatest love or your worst enemy - maybe Guedira doesn't recognize "Assane Diop" as the anagram guy, and even if he does, isn't sure whether they're nemeses or lovers? Or both?

Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan
Solo: Egwene al'Vere (Wheel of Time), Medium: Fanfiction, ALL: All libraries are connected, ALL: canon events are a tabletop role-playing game played by the characters, ALL: Dimension hopping to find a timeline that isn't doomed

All libraries are connected - the White Tower's archives lead to some other archive (the royal palace? Something in Seanchan? Or feel free to crossover with another universe--Unseen University from Discworld would go great here, or Hogwarts, or whatever!)
canon events are a tabletop role-playing game played by the characters - this would explain a lot about the implausible coincidences and magical power creep, I'm just saying.
Dimension hopping to find a timeline that isn't doomed - sneaking around in Tel'aran'rhiod? Portal stones? The worlds she saw in the Apprentice test?

-explicit sex
-underage characters having sex

-second person POV (in "normal" prose, happy with it in IF or the like)
-moralizing/didactic stories (characters Learning An Important Lesson about the value of tolerance, etc.)

Request 4 by primeideal
Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan
Solo: Asmodean (Wheel of Time), Medium: Fanfiction, ALL: classical musicians AU, ALL: Marching Band AU, ALL: Good Character Meets Their Evil Counterpart From Another Dimension (or Vice Versa)

classical musicians AU - serious business Asmodean stuck with the other Forsaken (or Rand's group of good guys, or the Aiel) who don't take anything seriously.
Marching Band AU - ditto
Good Character Meets Their Evil Counterpart From Another Dimension (or Vice Versa) - I feel like Asmodean was the closest to having a real redemption arc, maybe he uses a portal stone or something like the Rhuidean ter'angreal to meet a different version of himself?

-explicit sex
-underage characters having sex
-rape/noncon
-second person POV (in "normal" prose, happy with it in IF or the like)
-moralizing/didactic stories (characters Learning An Important Lesson about the value of tolerance, etc.)
