This post is so I can keep talking about my plans for the trilogy The Shining Ones—books tentatively entitled Abraham's Daughter, Mary Mary, and Fatimah the Blessed—without distracting from the conversation in the locked community post where the subject came up. Also so anybody who thinks I'm fucking up with my plans can tell me, so I can change my plans.

So. Arcade Fire's "Abraham's Daughter". How would that prominent female character changing the Akedah affect the history of Judaism? SJ Tucker's "Mary Mary". How would additional prominence to Mary of Nazareth and Mary of Magdala, subsequent to the changes in Judaism of that era, affect the history of Christianity? And I can't not do Islam, that wouldn't be fair, so how would additional prominence to Muhammad's daughter Fatimah and his wives Khadijah and Aisha, subsequent to the changes in Judaism and Christianity of that era, affect the history of Islam? Then, how would the changes in all three religions affect the world of today?

Comment here if you want to play, and I will give you three-six fictional characters or couples couples that I associate with you, and you make an entry in your journal talking about those couples and fanworks that you wish the universe would create for you.

somnolentblue gave me October Daye, Anna/Ruby from Supernatural, and Odette and Odile from Swan Lake.

I really want the universe to create me the fanwork where Toby figures out that there's a reason the hope chests do what they do, and a reason she and her mother can do (and Gillian presumably could have done) the exact same thing. I'm sure there are reasons. I even think I know what those reasons are. But I don't have time to write this fic myself. (If I ever do, it'll be part of Changeling's Choice.)

I also want the spinoff series featuring Anna and Ruby, resurrected, with some perspective on the whole Lucifer deal (I'm convinced Ruby had no idea Lucifer planned to destroy everything), and ready to kick some monster ass.

Re Odette and Odile: Basically Mercedes Lackey's The Black Swan, only with more Odette PoV (she is not a PoV character in the novel) and less no rape committed by a PoV character with whom we're supposed to sympathize (Siegfried).
