DNWs and additional prompts for each fandom are available at the letter link

Fandom: Funny Girl - Styne/Merril/Lennart/Fierstein
Character: Eddie Ryan
What is it?: The 2022 revival of the classic Barbara Streisand musical. Lots of bootlegs are up on Youtube.
What am I requesting: Eddie was originally played by a white actor, but the revival casts him as a Black man, so I would love fic that writes him as a specifically Black character.

Fandom: First Kill (TV 2022)
Characters: Apollo Burns, Calliope Burns, Talia Burns, Theo Burns
What is it?: An 8 episode supernatural teen drama on Netflix about star-crossed lesbians from a vampire family and a vampire hunting family
What I am requesting: The Burns are a Black family of vampire hunters and I want to read more about their beautiful and complicated relationships with each other and the vampire hunting organization.

Fandom: Thoroughly Modern Millie - Tesori/Scanlan/Morris
Character: Muzzy Van Hossmere
What is it?: A 2002 adaptation of a Julie Andrews film from the 60s.
What am I requesting: The way this musical handles race is pretty horrible overall, but they did choose to cast Muzzy as a Black woman, which is a change from the movie. They then proceeded to never address this or make it part of her character. Much like the Funny Girl example above, I would love for fic that writes Muzzy as a specifically Black character.

Fandom: Roaring Twenties Magic - Allie Therin
Characters: Jade Robbins, Jianwei Zhang
What is it?: M/M fantasy historical romance trilogy that is a spinoff of the Magic in Manhattan series.
What I am requesting: Jade and Zhang are a secondary couple across both series who deserve more love! She's telekinetic former spy with a taste for fancy suits who runs a speakeasy in Harlem. He can astral project and comes from a family of Chinese magical scholars. They solve magical mysteries together.
