Fandoms:

Elemental Masters - Mercedes Lackey
- Maya and Peter's children! Pregnancy, birth, babyhood and growing up are all good. Introducing Maya's animal friends to the children and vice versa. The kids discovering their Elemental affinity, if any (can hardly believe they won't have it).

Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia C. Wrede
- Daystar's whole childhood gets skipped: plenty of missing scenes with Cimorene as (temporarily) single mother.
- Kazul has grandchildren and perhaps great-grandchildren by now; baby dragons are cute!

False Doctrine - Alice Degan
- Little Sara (and possibly her siblings). We see how she turned out having grown up with Kit and Elsa as parents, now let's see what it was like when she was younger.

DNWs: any horror especially body horror, mpreg (which is body horror in my book), humiliation, nasty pranks and practical jokes (kids are allowed harmless pranks), miscarriage, monstrous birth, incest, child abuse, plague/pandemic, on-page character death (mention of for instance deceased grandparents is okay), unhappy ending

DNWs (if any): Miscarriage/stillbirth, MPreg, child abuse committed by requested characters/couples
Prompts: I'm a sap for any type of pregnancy/baby fic which is why I started this mini challenge! Give me any of the main couples from my requests dealing with the ups and downs of pregnancy and parenthood. The only one I'm very fandom specific with is Dial M for Murder: what if Margot had gotten pregnant during her and Mark's affair, and tried to pass the baby off as Tony's? Otherwise, go wild!

A Gentleman in Moscow - Amor Towles

Prompts:
This canon features a young child being put in the care of an older gentleman.
While I've liked this book for awhile, I think a lot of my current love for this book stems from my relatively recent history of accidentally adopting two teenagers. Any interactions between Rostov and Sofia are welcome! If you want something more specific - how does their relationship change as Sofia ages? How would she remember him and her time in the hotel when she's older?
