Femslash Festivus

Do you want to write femslash for Yuletide? Have you combed through the letters, but have no idea who these characters are, why you might like them, and if the potential recipient is looking for the tropey femslash fic of your shared dreams? Here's your post!
Femslash Festivus is a collection post for femslash requests that you are making for Yuletide. Posting here doesn't obligate you to do anything, but it helps other femslashers find you and treat you.
Posting requirements:
Your request centers around a femslash pairing or poly arrangement involving at least two characters who identify as female in the canon. The femslash pairing can't just be a smaller part of a long dudeslash prompt.
I'm not going around the post policing whether or not your letters are femslash-y enough, but please be considerate and do not ask for genderbent versions of male characters in canon, e.g. asking for always-a-girl!Conan the Barbarian paired with Valeria.
What you must include:
Your AO3 name
All the fandoms where you are making femslash requests, with characters mentioned (so if you are only asking for gen in one fandom, don't list that one)
If you are asking for femslash in a fandom where you requested no characters because you wanted worldbuilding or OCs, this is perfectly fine! Just make sure you talk up the kind of pairings you'd want to receive in your post.
What you should probably include:
Links to your letter or copy/pasted requests
A brief description of your ship, if you think it's unfamiliar to most people
If you're open to receiving porn for Festivus, note it.
You are welcome to tag the fics inspired by this post with 'Femslash Festivus.'

Fandoms where I'm requesting femslash:
The Aeneid - Vergil (Camilla/Juturna, Camilla/Acca, Camilla/Opis)
Sadly, most of these characters only appear briefly (though memorably) in the second half of the Aeneid. But it also means if you want to write them, there isn't as much to review.
Camilla of the Volsci has a cool backstory which involves being dedicated to the goddess Diana (Artemis) by her father and taught to hunt and use weapons before she could walk. When we meet her in the Aeneid, she is leading her troops to war, including a group of loyal female warriors. (Like many other characters in this epic poem, she dies in battle -- but without regrets.)
Acca is one of Camilla's female warriors, "faithful before all others," the only person Camilla confides in. This would be a good ship for F/F loyalty kink.
When Camilla is killed in battle, the goddess Diana isn't going to let the dude who killed her get away with that. She sends one of her nymphs, Opis, to kill him and avenge Camilla. I could imagine that Opis knew and loved Camilla before this, that she's avenging herself on a personal level as well as obeying her goddess's command.
Juturna is a nymph with shapeshifting powers and another female warrior; she vainly tries to save her brother, Turnus, from being killed by Aeneas. I would enjoy seeing the two warrior maidens get together while fighting against the Trojans. It could also be interesting to see an AU where Camilla is wounded but doesn’t die, and she and Juturna deal with their defeat and their losses together after the end of the epic.
The Untamed (TV) (Baoshan Sanren/Lan Yi)
This is a live-action Chinese drama (loosely) based on the novel Modao Zushi/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. Once again I am shipping the minor characters who appear in two episodes (but it's a good ship!).
Baoshan Sanren is a mysterious female immortal who lives on a mountain. Close friends with Lan Yi before tragic and vaguely alluded to Plot Things tear them apart.
Lan Yi was an ambitious female sect leader, inventor of a move called the Chord Assassination Technique (in other words, she can kill you with her musical instrument). She has a vaguely referenced dark past and an unexpected fondness for rabbits. When we meet her, she's been hanging out as a sort-of-ghost in a cave for a hundred years, and she still thinks about Baoshan and regrets fighting with her. She says things like, "In this lifetime, Baoshan was my only true friend." While Baoshan was so heartbroken over whatever happened with Lan Yi that she secluded herself on a mountaintop and completely withdrew from the world. I just want to know more about them, whether it's happy or tragic.
