*= so rare it had not yet been seen on ao3 (or possibly anywhere) 😱 unless I'm forgetting something because it's 2am

full list of nominated ships here, including two that are terrifying crossovers with Elizabeth Wein's Lion Hunters series! (which I and others highly recommend, they're wonderful and resonant and probably up your alley, and each is like 1/3 the length of a Lymond book)

The crossover ships are Gabriel/Morgause and Abreha/Guzel <3

Lion Hunters ships in Rare Pair Exchange

Signups for Rair Pair Exchange are open for about two more days - it includes ships from a few hundred fandoms (and original character pairings/concepts) and accepts both fic (1000 words or more) and art!

The criteria for "rare" is "less than 250 works on ao3," which is good news for this fandom. Nominated pairings to choose from this time are:

Goewin/Priamos

Medraut/Turunesh

Artos/Ginevra

Gwalchmei/Muna

Gwalchmei/Priamos

Lleu/Wazeb

Abreha/Morgause

which is a list, to say the least! Please join us in making some of these tags ... exist! And in giving the other beloved relationships more appreciation. Or even just request them... Either way, you'll get something in return.

Sign up by 11:59pm EDT on May 11th, 2024 - more information/rules are on that page and on the exchange blog

And come hang out with other Lion Hunters readers here on our small Discord server 🐦
