Inspired by
priama's 3SF fill for one of my prompts, thank you so much <3
I am working on an AU called "Marstuck", which is basically an sci-fi slice-of-life thing where several species live on Mars (specifically trolls, humans & carapacians at first. Leprechauns for now appear a couple years/decades later). I was working on the cultural norms & biology of trolls when I thought of "what about leprechauns?", cause while we don't get an actual explanation for their romance, I wanted to include them ::::33 I was thinking about Damara being close to leprechauns specifically, cause it just seemed fitting now that I think about it. So for now when Damara becomes a fully grown adult, she'd be a xenolinguist on the first contact team (thx Runaway to the Stars for the inspo technically <3). + Aranea gets in the contact exchange stuff as a xenobiologist & not just getting obsessed with their romance system but maybe even getting a leprechaun kin XXXX33
Another idea I have is putting Damara in a diffrent new AU. Specifically a space-fantasy where Damara gets stranded on leprechaun planet, specifically in a time where the planet is uncontacted. The felt + Snowman would then adopt Damara & I imagine this AU would have 2 major phases like Marstuck: phase 1 being Damara growing up in leprechaun society + phase 2 being post-first-contact, where there'd be hijinks about.
