Trick or Treat 2021 Letter
Dear Artist/Author,
Thank you for checking out my letter! I'm![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
echoslam, and I'm glad to be doing ToT again this year!
Feel free to use this information as little or as much as you want. I have some optional prompts, but I'm not particular about whether or not they're used. They are just here in case people would like them. Definitely feel free to go ahead with whatever you want to make. Gen, ship, single character-focused, or worldbuilding - it is all good.
If you’re into shipping, all of my single character requests are individuals that I love seeing in a variety of pairings. Unusual and unheard-of ships are more than welcome, including crossovers. There are just a handful of ships I would prefer not to receive, and those will be covered under DNWs (if I don’t have any listed for the fandom, you can safely assume that I am up for any ship).
I am requesting art and fic + tricks and treats for everything!

Things I like about the canon: Mary being a difficult person, Anna having a complicated relationship with her job and/or Mary, people having a hard time dealing with Sybil’s death
DNW: Tom Branson ships other than Tom/Sybil
Prompts:
-DA reimagined as gothic horror
-Ghost!Sybil, whether as a benevolent spirit or something spookier
-Sisterly or upstairs/downstairs bonding
-Crawley sister(s) taking on non-upperclass tasks
Devotion
Things I like about the canon: everything about the setting and snapshots of 80s Taiwan, environmental storytelling, the doll as something both creepy and comforting, contrasting the horror with the beauty in the storybook section and the scenes with the tulips, interior design elements as horror
Prompts:
-Outsider POV of things going downhill for Feng Yu or the antagonist setting up their scam
-So uh, I think it's likely that the Du family will no longer be living in that apartment after the events of the game. What will happen to the next family that moves in? Scary sightings from lingering bad karma?
-Mei Shin meets Ray from Red Candle's previous game Detention
-Any character's fate in the afterlife
-Just any creepy images or descriptions of the apartment complex! I just love the atmosphere in this game so much
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Things I like about the canon: Working together to save the world, everyone’s support chains, time travel, Falchion(s), all the paralogues, finding happiness post-game
Prompts:
-Lucina's nightmares or dark premonitions about the bad future where she loses her loved ones
-Grima using someone against her friend/lover
-Lighthearted moments between battles or anytime during the main story
-Tharja's hexes having unexpected results, whether fun and silly or dark and horrifying
-Something taking place on any map with potential for fun character interactions, ex: Manor of Lost Souls from Nah's paralogue
-S-Support for any of those pair-ups that only went up to A rank...
Guild Wars 2
Things I like about the canon: Caithe and/or Treahearne being competent and tragic, all the horror and trauma involved in the Heart of Thorns story especially for Sylvari, lush and dangerous landscapes anywhere in the world, Pact Commander becoming more sad and jaded
DNW: Caithe and Treahearne in a romantic relationship with each other.
Prompts:
-I loved the Heart of Thorns storyline and would love anything from that arc or its aftermath (including dark takes that result in Caithe/Trahearne fully corrupted by Mordremoth)
-Anything with Trahearne having a different ending, whether a canon divergence that ends more happily (or one that goes even darker) or communicating with the commander in some way (old letters, as a voice from the Dream, etc).
-Speculation about Caithe's role in End of Dragons (so hyped for the beta events that just dropped)
-Silly ideas: Caith and/or Trahearne involved in any of the following - any Mad King's Day event, Super Adventure Box, Rytlock's Critter Rampage, newsroom AU (GW1 devs loved their Anchorman jokes)
Liar! Office Deception
Things I like about the canon: MC’s leadership skills, workplace romance, helping Liar’s overcome their problems, discussing the Olympics, doting on James the cat
DNW: MC in a romantic relationship with Minoru or Daikichi
Prompts:
-D-Team Halloween costumes/celebrations (MC and and Kohei totally dressed up in angel and devil costumes for that one event)
-Working on an ad campaign for an autumn seasonal event or Halloween products
-Strange twists of fate as a result of Johnny's fortunetelling
-Someone is secretly a vampire or other supernatural being
QZGS
Things I like about the canon: QYF/CYX having the spotlight and receiving unexpected(?) praise and admiration, stuff about people’s avatars and in-game habits, the online and offline sides of relationships, Glory being srs bsns
DNW: Chu Yunxiu in a romantic relationship with Ye Xiu, Huang Shaotian, or Chen Guo
Prompts:
-Celebrating QYF's birthday, a Misty Rain victory, or any special event/holiday
-Costuuuumes/admiring people's in-game wardrobe
-Finding out someone has a crush on them or maintaining a secret relationship
-Some more ideas in my Little Black Dress Exchange letter.
Shenmue
Things I like about the canon: sightseeing in Hong Kong, exploring both the cities and natural landscapes, Joy’s motorbike, Ryo doing odd jobs, Joy/Ryo/Shenhua getting along well and helping each other find their way, Virtua Fighter + arcade games
Prompts:
-Dark or more ominous interpretation of spiritual elements like the Shenmue tree or artifacts like the Dragon and Phoenix mirrors
-Joy and/or Shenhua show Ryo around their respective hometurfs of Hong Kong/Bailu village
-Fun times at any of the in-game arcades
-Mid-autumn festival
Trick
Things I like about the canon: comedy, pondering the causes of bizarre phenomena, Naoko potentially having spiritual powers, Ueda’s overconfidence played for laughs
Prompts:
-Ueda's failure or success in trying to do something nice for Naoko
-Reflection on any of their cases together
-Naoko doing magic tricks or teaching them to Ueda
VOID
Things I like about the canon: Both smut and non-smut, Arata coming to term with his own feelings about Maki and his situation, moral ambiguity
Prompts:
-Both smut and nonsmut are awesome
-Possessive behavior from Maki
-Potential themes: Birds, Arata's uncanny cooking abilities, (gilded?) cages, flowers, restraints, touch/touch starvation
-Arata juxtaposed with Ren in any way
Yomawari
Things I like about the canon: the creepy/cute aesthetic, the protagonists and their determination in trying to survive the night, spirits and their backstories, the paranoia-inducing atmosphere
Prompts:
-Pre-game for either Night Alone or Midnight Shadows; mundane daytime slice-of-life with subtle hints at the horrifying things that come out when it gets dark
-POV of any spirit - what do their thoughts/voices sound like?
-Crossover with Disgaea (could be very silly or actually spooky)
