Klavigar Nadox (SCP Foundation), Klavigar Lovataar (SCP Foundation), Klavigar Orok (SCP Foundation), Fanfiction
Treats: enabled & welcome!
General DNWs:
- Time loops (including both stable time loops and Groundhog Day style time loops).
- Rape/noncon.
- Hopeless endings.
- Unrequested setting-change AUs (as opposed to canon divergence, which is pretty much always welcome)
- Stories that are entirely about sex.
- Mundane AUs.
- A/B/O.
- Soulmates.
Art DNWs
- Unprompted genitalia.
General Likes:
- Time travel, including: time travel fixit; time travel with the glorious angst of knowing you're overwriting your future to give the past a chance; time travel that results in forming new kinds of relationships with people, like becoming friends with someone who was an enemy in the old timeline.
- Worldbuilding.
- A sense of wonder.
- Loyalty.
- Characters temporarily putting aside their weapons or sources of power as a show of trust.
- Best enemies, who might kill each other someday but fundamentally respect and trust each other, perhaps more than they do their nominal allies. Rivals and enemies becoming friends, or allies, or lovers, or swearing loyalty to one another.
- Kneeling. Physical gestures of loyalty or affection.
- Unexpected mercy. Mercy in general, too.
- Magical abilities/superpowers in daily life.
- Powerful women. Women holding power over men. Femdom.
- Characters who have high standards and ruthlessly apply those standards to themselves.
- Righteous rage.
- Competence.
- Hurt/comfort.
- Diplomatic/nonviolent solutions being viable!
- ... not to say I don't appreciate a nice badass fight scene, though,
- Characters pushing themselves to their limits and beyond, and others being there to catch them when they do.
- Characters who are convinced that they don't matter and no one cares learning that actually someone does care and does think they matter.
- Rescues! Rescues where the rescuee is convinced no one's coming, implacable rescuers overcoming terrible obstacles to save their friends/lovers.
Prompts:
- I'm into the intense backstory, codependant apocalyptic situation these characters have going on in the In Memoria Adytum canon, and I'm also into the cheerful Vanguard future where Orok is the ally you call in when you need a god eaten and everyone's busy having flame wars with the Mechanists on Twitter.
-Also, body horror (not that any of these guys are horrified by it anymore.) Lots of that with these characters! Fleshcrafting as art, fleshcrafting as craft (which they learned and also taught), fleshcrafting as gift of/connection to their boyfriend/messiah.
- (I ship pretty much all possible configurations of Klavigars with each other or with Ion.)
Nadox and Lovataar are from the evil empire Ion rebelled against, Orok might be, it's complicated—how do they feel about it? Are they drawn to each other because no one else gets it?
Does Lovataar ever go undercover in the Daevite Empire?
For Orok, I'm really intensely into the slave gladiator part of his backstory.
Nadox has a ton of physical injuries that he's apparently decided not to heal even though he pretty clearly could--why does he choose to do without, say, a tongue?
(In the timeline where the Daevas turn out to be a perfectly normal country with a dramatic past, were these guys part of a normal religious movement or did they still wind up as a bunch of fleshcrafters with ambitions to eat gods?)

Prompts:
Eneera Tor:
- Reaches Farthest, the first Feathered Horse Queen! Who was she before she took those names?
- How did her revolt stake shape? How did she get the support of the vendref (and to what degree did she pay that back? The Feathered Horse Queens “speak for” the vendref—to what degree and in what sense?) Were the Grazer women who supported her eager or reluctant to rebel?
- Tell me about her duel with Esnandral!
- How did she come to ally with Endars Stand-Up? Did that happen before or after she killed his brother and predecessor?
- Tell me about the heroquest that gave her her powers and status!
What kind of relationship did she have with Yoristina, and her other unnamed daughters? How did she teach them? Did she rely on their support?
Vistera:
- Vistera (the Feathered Horse Queen “With Bitter Heart”) is a really intriguing character—I like her determination in the face of tragedy. (I’d also be interested in fixit, of course!)
- She started out leading a rebellion against her sister—interesting parallels with Eneera Tor! I’m really curious about how that rebellion went.
- She’s probably the Feathered Horse Queen who underwent a proxy marriage to Kallyr Starbrow. Maybe that could have made them Queen and King of Dragon Pass if they hadn’t used a proxy?
- “She ruthlessly avenged the deaths of her mother, grandmother and sisters”—one of those sisters she led a revolt against, while the other disappeared after losing a contest to Jar-Eel! So I’m curious about Vistera’s vengeance.
- She’s succeeded by her niece Inkarne—who, if I’m reading right, is also the daughter of the king of Lunar Tarsh. Is Vistera suspicious of her niece, or does she mentor her—or both? Does she see winning her niece back from the Lunars as part of winning her war?

Fandom-Specific Likes:
- Sworn to protect a world that hates and fears them? My id.
- Mutant powers! I love exploration of mutant powers, how they work, how people use them in daily life, clever ways to use them in fights.
- I love how totally bonkers X-Men comics can be. Space opera adventures one day, canon sword & sorcery AU the next? Of course!
- Redemption!
- I love how dramatic so many of these characters are. Magneto, Storm, Exodus, lots of others—they live their lives turned up to eleven and I adore that. (I also love the idea of them bonding over how this is another person who understands the worth of drama!)
- I have a thing for power—well, multiple things for power. I love superpowers themselves, the way they might change how their wielder sees the world. I love powerful women.
- I'm a huge fan of the whole Jean/Phoenix/Rachel/Maddy tangle of identity and power and legacy.
Bennet du Paris
- I enjoy his entire man-out-of-time angle (the medieval crusader who's now latched onto a new holy war), his great drama, his intensity, his ridiculous outfit, his poor decisions.
- How did Magneto recruit him? Alternately, what if someone else had woken him up and been his introduction to the modern world? (Cyclops, Storm, Rachel, Jean...)
- I ship him with Magneto, and I'd also ship him with anyone else in his liege spot!
Madelyne Pryor:
- I'm really interested in fixit--while I loved some of the buildup to Inferno (Maddy was great in Genosha), I really hate what ended up happening to her in that storyline, and I'd love to see her come back from that (maybe with the aid of an old friend from the X-Men?) or take another path to begin with.
- I'd be interested in her interacting more with Jean, Rachel, or the Phoenix outside of battle—I love that whole tangle of identities and powers.
- I really loved her as a member of the X-Men, and I'd love to see a world where she stayed there longer, helping the team despite her lack of powers.
Any previous X-Men prompts still valid (see linked letters).
