Could I pretty please have two polls? The vast difference in popularity between these two fandoms, I'm afraid, would skew results in a combined poll.

Poll 1:
1. Fandom/Pairing: War and Peace; Dolokhov/Sonya (mainly) Description of plotbunny: Post-War, not quite epilogue-compliant. After the war, Nikolai marries Maria Bolkonski and Sonya is left in the humiliating position of a live-in poor relative. Dolokhov has a son, from Helene who died in childbirth. Dolokhov is struggling – with the PTSD and the need to raise a child which he never thought he’d be stuck doing. At a war memorial a few years after the war ends, Dolokhov and Nikolai (sort of) reconnect. It is in Nikolai’s house that Dolokhov meets Sonya once again, the girl he’d once proposed to who had at the time rejected him. Their tense, somewhat awkward, but obviously destined relationship grows from there. (Love triangles! Angst! Haunting pasts! Post-war drama!)
2. Fandom/Pairing: War and Peace; Anatole Dolokhov/Maria Bezukhov Description of plotbunny: Next!Gen fic. Maria has just recently come out into society. Her mother is dead set on marrying her off to Nicholas Bolkonski and she doesn’t really have an opinion on it either way. That is of course, before Theodore Dolokhov and his son Anatole come to Petersburg… Anatole has been sheltered and loved all his life, he’s very close to his father who adored him. Now, having come to Petersburg for his education, he is caught up in a whole new whirlwind of life, not at the least of it is the beautiful Maria. …Of course the problem is that their families are ABSOLUTELY AGAINST THIS! (forbidden romance! Angst! Duels! Love triangles and jealousy! Family rivalries! Secrets! Haunting pasts!)
Poll 2:
1. Fandom/Pairing: Harry Potter; OC het paring, lots of supporting canon characters/shipps Description of plotbunny: The first war is in full swing. Anatole Bonfante, a young Death Eater, is engaged to a beautiful half-veela, Anastasia, and everything in their relationship seems to be going perfect. Of course, that is because he has no idea that she is about to betray him, seduced to the other side of the war by an Auror who hates him and a childhood friend who loves Anastasia as well and is jealous of him. In the background, the war rages, the young Death Eaters train and bond, Antonin Dolohov tries to mend his broken heart after a failed relationship with Bellatrix through what may or may not be a successful flirtation with Eleanor, Anatole’s older sister, the Malfoys are trying to conceive an heir and so on… (War! Intrigue! Love triangles! Angst!)
2. Fandom/Pairing: Harry Potter; Antonin/Pansy (also Draco/Pansy and others in small doses) Description of plotbunny: Antonin is the Lord’s Chief Commanding Officer. Pansy is sixteen, about to be formally engaged to Draco and all too willing to fight in the War, despite being “a lady.” Basically, Pansy falls for Antonin. It’s something that boarders on hero-worship and contains a heavy dose of fascination with an older man. Antonin also develops feelings for her (is it because she reminds him of a young Bellatrix?). They both know it’s wrong for many-many reasons but neither can help it. Basically there’s lots of UST and angst which explodes into a “resolution” not long before the Battle of Hogwarts.
3. Fandom/Pairing: Harry Potter; Lily Luna/Slytherin OMC, healthy dose of Albus/Scorpius on the side and other het, mostly canon background parings Description of plotbunny: NextGen. Lily Potter married a Slytherin, a Rosier, a grandson of a DE and Pansy Parkinson’s son. But she’s happy, despite the doubts of her friends and family. She and Amiri really have a great thing going…until she realizes she has missed the revolution brewing in her sitting room. No Dark Lord this time, just a political coup that sparks armed hostilities. To make it worse, her husband’s friends are trying to convince him to use their baby son as a bargaining chip and Lily doesn’t even know if she can trust Albus anymore. War!fic with Lily at the center – not purely a romance fic but with a strong, central het presence.
