We only had 5, not 6, so no 240 (yet). But if you really want a sixth PH opportunity, here's #224 again - claim it now and take advantage of the new deadline!
Divinity: Original Sin VG, Elder Scrolls Online, Belladonna of Sadness 1973, Angel's Egg Anime
Request 1 by Kartaylir
Divinity: Original Sin (Video Games) Sebille (Divinity: Original Sin), The Red Prince (Divinity: Original Sin), Worldbuilding (Divinity: Original Sin)
<b>Likes:</b> Canon Divergence, the void, dark and rather messy f/f, loyalty, hand kisses, the slow dance of dripping out information in front of those you're not sure you can trust, any POV, in-universe documents. Knifeplay, bloodplay, vaginal fisting, sex as ritual, admiring each other's scars, canon-typical magic. Xeno (give me your lizard dick headcanons), traditions and rituals around elven cannibalism, all of the tension between people who can't quite bring themselves to trust each other, just what life is like in the Lizard Empire.
<b>Ships I like:</b> Sebille/The Red Prince, Sebille/The Red Princess/The Red Princess
<b>Do Not Want:</b> Unrequested Noncon (References to canon events are fine, dubcon is fine-I'd count the pheromone/sex polleny likes mentioned in some sections as dubon. I've also opted into a few specific noncon configurations). A/B/O, Anal Sex, Soulmates, Mundane AUs, Readerfic, Incest, pairings with characters under 16, Covid-19, Non-canon disease outbreaks. Saheila/Sebille, cannibalism during sex (Sebille's tasting memories abilities working off touch/bodily fluids and that coming up during sex is fine, oral sex is fine, just no literal eating of body parts), Sebille becoming the mother tree, harm coming to the Red Princess or her children.
I adore all the personal and cultural issues these two characters have between them, and the journey from mistrustful allies of necessity to actual allies managing the fate of the world (and possibly sleeping with each other). Sebille’s habits of extreme violence and running away from her problems, the way cannibalism works for the elves, and the composure of the Red Prince contrasted with how lonely his life has been. I really love the diverging ways these characters both react to their own fates and how they deal with the ways it doesn't quite match up to their expectations. Either one of them as the Godwoken is welcome, or neither of them if you’d prefer. Re: the Red Princess, I'm cool with poly there or just with not focusing on it.
I also greatly enjoyed the world of this one as well as the characters, and am especially interested in all sorts of world-building aspects related to the elves and lizards, for which these two interacting should provide no shortage of opportunities.

Request 2 by Kartaylir
Elder Scrolls Online
<b>Likes:</b> Canon Divergence, the void, dark and rather messy f/f, loyalty, hand kisses, the slow dance of dripping out information in front of those you're not sure you can trust, any POV, in-universe documents. Knifeplay, bloodplay, vaginal fisting, sex as ritual, admiring each other's scars, canon-typical magic. Dunmer, the tension between the Tribunal and Anticipations. All the weird lore. Apotheosis and gods and myth, paralysis magic during sex, canon-typical symbolic tattoos for Dunmer (e.g., Morag Tong and Black Scarab Chest in-game markings), using the canon birthsigns for tarot style-art, the Antiquties system.
<b>Ships I like:</b> I'm open for any F/F ships, barring any excluded by my DNWs. Mirri Elendis/Original Female Ashlander, Winged Twilight in Azura's Service/Vastarie, Naryu Virian/Spider Daedra in Mephala's Service, Lorelia/Original Female Adventurer, Seryn/Vastarie, Maxten Favrete/Freiwen, Leythen/Naryu Virian
<b>Do Not Want:</b> Unrequested Noncon (References to canon events are fine, dubcon is fine-I'd count the pheromone/sex polleny likes mentioned in some sections as dubon. I've also opted into a few specific noncon configurations). A/B/O, Anal Sex, Soulmates, Mundane AUs, Readerfic, Incest, pairings with characters under 16, Covid-19, Non-canon disease outbreaks. Unrequested mentor/student pairings.
<b>Opt-ins:</b> Lorelia nonconning a female adventurer, female vampire nonconning a female adventurer.
As for the characters nominated it is a pile of some of my favorite mer who have interesting relationships with dunmer society (or with the good daedra in Vastarie's case), and I would adore more canon-typical adventures for any of them or some flirting with characters that provide opportunity for conflict and contrast around those various cultural aspects.
For the worlbuilding tags, I find the similarity between the punishment of undeath the Order of the Hidden Moon uses and such Dunmeri approaches as Bonewalkers fascinating just in terms of designating it as a form of service or redemption, and would love to see more about how other related Dunmer traditions could pull in that particular view of Azura as both cruel and wise. As for the Morag Tong/Dark Brotherhood conflict, I love both the more unseen (at least by the participants) sort of manipulations that we see her inducing in various games, and the idea of the more within-faction situations of encouraged betrayal followed by cleansing (e.g., both the Dark Brotherhood purification in Oblivion and the story of Naryu's Journal in ESO), writ over the the conflict between the two assassin's guilds. Agents from one side being manipulated into unknowingly killing those from the other, restarting feuds, attempted infiltrations gone wrong in all sorts of ways, and generally just a bunch of cruel little threads being woven and cut between them.
Other worldbuilding things I like include the Wilderqueen, Ashlander beliefs in contrast with the more common Dunmer ones, the 'good daedra' and Dunmer society as a whole, nordic traditions about clever men and women, Breton political infighting, and Lorelia's whole thing and how that could tie into the dreamsleeve.

哀しみのベラドンナ | Kanashimi no Belladonna | Belladonna of Sadness (1973)
Milady (Belladonna of Sadness), Jeanne (Belladonna of Sadness)
<b>Likes:</b> Canon Divergence, the void, dark and rather messy f/f, loyalty, hand kisses, the slow dance of dripping out information in front of those you're not sure you can trust, any POV, in-universe documents. Knifeplay, bloodplay, vaginal fisting, sex as ritual, admiring each other's scars, canon-typical magic. Anything relating to plants, herbalism, and related magic. Jeanne's interaction with the villagers. Jeanne choosing to engage with the Devil on her own terms (including sexually), Milady coming to Jeanne for aid with one of her problems, and all the tension inherent in that.
<b>Ships I like:</b> Jeanne/Milady, Jeanne/The Devil
<b>Do Not Want:</b> Unrequested Noncon (References to canon events are fine, dubcon is fine-I'd count the pheromone/sex polleny likes mentioned in some sections as dubon. I've also opted into a few specific noncon configurations). A/B/O, Anal Sex, Soulmates, Mundane AUs, Readerfic, Incest, pairings with characters under 16, Covid-19, Non-canon disease outbreaks. Milady/Page, focus on the modern-looking 'hell' scene (mentioning it happened is fine).
<b>Opt-Ins:</b> Milady nonconning Jeanne.
I am deeply fond of this tiny canon with its intriguing watercolor art style and a whole lot of erotic imagery. It's also available (at least in the US) on Amazon Prime.
I'm especially fond of how Jeanne remakes herself through the movie, especially the part where the villagers wind up coming to her for healing and wisdom later on, and I'd love to see something that touched on how Milady might have had to remake herself to survive in her own environment-and how that led to the way she treats those beneath her.
There’s so much potential for both conflict and bonding between these two. This is also the fandom where I have some noncon-themed requests for Jeanne/Milady, as well as dubcon themed ones, so don't worry too much about the lines there.
Maybe Milady comes back and visits Jeanne while she’s in jail, and offers her better treatment in exchange for sexual favors or secret knowledge? Or has to ask Jeanne’s aid after Jeanne escapes, perhaps partly motivated by the old woman's tale of Jeanne's kindness? Anything focused on herbs/ritual magic would be wonderful, and I have a soft spot for Jeanne's horned/Sphinx-like look if you want to bring that in as well.
If you want to include Jeanne/The Devil I’d prefer for any sex included on that account to be more on the dubious side of things-have Jeanne initiate it for some purpose or another rather than it simply being done to her.

天使のたまご | Tenshi no Tamago | Angel's Egg (Anime)
<b>Likes:</b> Canon Divergence, the void, the slow dance of dripping out information in front of those you're not sure you can trust, any POV, in-universe documents.
<b>Do Not Want:</b> Explicit sex, Unrequested Noncon, A/B/O, Anal Sex, Soulmates, Mundane AUs, Readerfic, Incest, pairings with characters under 16, Covid-19, Non-canon disease outbreaks.
I really love the sense of loneliness and loss running through this movie, as well as the art! Anything focused on fossils and relics of the world left behind, interacting with the shadow beings that run through it, or just the sheer loneliness of being the only two people in such a world. The smallness of their world compared to the ocean that surrounds them.
What does the boy do after the ending of the movie? Does he try to talk to the effigy of the girl, or follow whatever strange creatures the fishermen are chasing? Does the girl still have a sense of the world to wonder at what’s reappeared? What other strange sights or fossils might she have seen before the time period we see in the movie? Have there been other odd machines, or signs of the boy’s travel?
