CLAIMED - PH #114: Death Becomes Her - Mattison & Carey/Pennette, Westworld (TV), Sun Sword - Michelle West

Request 1 by Lady Anne Boleyn (Silver_Queen)
Death Becomes Her - Mattison & Carey/Pennette
Characters: Madeline Ashton, Helen Sharp (Death Becomes Her)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Prompts:
- 5 times Mad & Hel fought and made up
- Casefic where Mad & Hel solve a mystery
- Glimpses of Mad & Hel throughout the future
- Mad & Hel grappling with the realization of being soulmates (and possibly being in love)
- Mad & Hel busting their butts to get back into the Siempre Viva group because in the future everyone is tracked with a microchip and they can't even go out to buy spray paint anymore
- Mad & Hel at the heat death of the universe (potentially with Viola still not speaking to them)
- Crossover with Westworld, because imagining Mad & Hel in Westworld is hilarious. They can’t die, just like the hosts!

Sun Sword - Michelle West
Characters: Telakar (Sun Sword), Elena Tamaraan
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

First of all, I haven’t read book 6, so please no spoilers for that!
More prompts to come, but for now: I love the fraught relationship between these two characters. I’m down for:
- Full enemies-to-lovers
- Enemies with sexual tension
- Smut (soft exception to my dubcon DNW here, because of the power imbalance; but I’d rather Elena be mostly into it)
More details TBA to letter!

CLAIMED - PH #115: Tiny Bookshop (Video Game), Damsel (Movie 2024), Newsflesh Series - Mira Grant, Haunted Mansion (2023), Superman Returns (2006), Sleeping Beauty (1959)

Tiny Bookshop (Video Game)
Characters: Any
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Oh I LOVE this game and everything about it. I adore the worldbuilding and you don't need to worry about any spoilers with me! (In fact, I absolutely welcome anything you might want to write about St. Bookstonbury and Those Secrets...)
The only listed character I don't adore is Tomasz, but if you love him, feel free to write about him! As far as ships go, I will ship any and everything in this fandom, but my faves are probably Moira/Anne, Tilda/Maryam, asexual Fern/Klaus... You can probably convince me of most any ship! I love gen fics and missing scenes, 5 things fics... I ADORE Harper!! I just love her relationship with her uncle Klaus. And I love Walt (I ship Walt/the Sea). Really, ANYTHING you write me for this fandom will be so welcomed!!

Damsel (Movie 2024)
Characters: Elodie (Damsel), Dragon (Damsel), Floria (Damsel)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I really love this movie. I just love the potential of it all. I would love to see Elodie and the Dragon back in her home country, or Flora's POV of things, or her relationship with the Dragon. Give me the Dragon's POV! Give me an alternate universe by changing up how things went... Maybe Elodie doesn't escape, but somehow convinces the Dragon not to kill her anyway... Maybe they stay in the Dragon's mountain... My only ask is that you not kill any of the three named characters here (or their stepmother).

Newsflesh Series - Mira Grant
Characters: Mahir Gowda, Shaun Mason, Georgia Mason
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Mahir Gowda is 1000% my absolute favorite character, and I will adore anything you write for me involving him. I love his wife and his daughter, and his entire canonical journey.
THAT SAID, I do also have AU ships for him, if that's a route you'd like to explore. I really love Mahir/Shaun, in a "we are both substituting for George but wound up loving each other for who we are" kind of way, or any frenemies/friends-to-lovers way you'd like to take it. Maybe Mahir moved to America after George died, to make sure Shaun stayed alive. Maybe the George clone they got was one of the traps and not the George we came to know and love. Go wild!
I ALSO adore Shaun/George/Mahir as an OT3. Give me Mahir joining Shaun and Georgia in Canada. Give me Mahir coming to America after losing his wife or before he ever was married. Give me an AU where George didn't die and the three of them move from friends to more. Whatever way you'd like to make it happen!
The only ask I have for either of these ships is that you not villainize Nandini, or have Mahir cheat on her. If you do choose to kill off Nandini, I'd appreciate treating Mahir's grieving for her in a realistic way and not... just an excuse to go be with the people he really loves, you know?

Haunted Mansion (2023)
Characters: Gabbie (Haunted Mansion), Ben Matthias, Father Kent (Haunted Mansion), Harriet (Haunted Mansion)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I super love this movie, and the Found Family aspect of it. I know Travis isn't a listed character, but I do love him a lot and all of these eccentric adults who surround him and love him. This is a fandom where I truly am open to any and all ships or fics. It can involve the ghosts, or not. I don't think there is anything you could write for me in this fandom that I would not adore. It's the Found Family and Power of Love and Friendship that I love about this movie.

Superman Returns (2006)
Characters: Any
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Holy Moly, Superman Returns as a Yuletide Fandom in 2025!!! Friends. I love Richard White. OBVIOUSLY I love Lois and Clark as well, but... RICHARD. If at ALL possible, please please pretty please give me an OT3 with these idiots. Let Clark into the family and let him and Richard become friends, and just... Let them all love Jason and love each other. Let Richard find out about Superman, let him help Lois cover for Clark, let them be happy. That's all I ask. c:

Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Characters: Any
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

The fact that Aurora, Phillip and Maleficent are the listed characters for this fandom got into my brain and made me go "ohhhh." I would truly love something exploring the trauma both Aurora and Phillip must have after the end of the movie, and the ways in which Maleficent must haunt them. Let them heal, but... show me the path! You just know they had to work at that happy ever after, so let them. (But please do give me that happy ending.)
I also welcome AUs, if you'd like to change up how they get to that happy ending!

PH #117: Whyborne and Griffin - Jordan L. Hawk, God Eaters - Jesse Hajicek, The Limehouse Golem (2016)

Request 1 by MildredMost
Whyborne and Griffin - Jordan L. Hawk
Characters: Griffin Flaherty, Percival Whyborne
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

DNWs: No pregnancy or babies; no underage sex; no modern AUs for canons with historical settings
(See letter for likes and more details)
I'd be happy with a slice of life - just them kissing on the couch for an hour, or taking a day trip to do something Whyborne finds faintly horrifying, or celebrating a holiday or a birthday, and it all going a little...Widdershins. Watching each other work and just kind of adoring the competence. I love it when Whyborne's immaculate clothing gets messed up in some way. Do feel free to write something filthy! I would be thrilled to get post-canon adventures (and please include any other characters from the books or Widdershins wider universe if your story takes you there - happy to see anyone!) Do they only powershare only when the world is ending, or do they do it at home where no one can see? Are they celebrated in Widdershins after their victory at saving the town? We know from the Rath and Rune books that gay couples have much more freedom to be themselves after Whyborne and Griffin save the world, so what does that look like?

God Eaters - Jesse Hajicek

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

DNWs: No pregnancy or babies; no underage sex; no modern AUs for canons with historical settings
(See letter for likes and more details)
The ending left me longing for more about their recovery from the horrendous mental and physical trials they've just been through. Hurt/comfort is always a favourite. Or day to day details - how do they make a home together, how do they get along when they're not in constant mortal peril? Or more about their power sharing. I loved the last few lines where Ash said "there's nothing here" and Kieran replied "There will be." So much promise and potential! What do they put there? A farm? A house? Does danger return in some way?

The Limehouse Golem (2016)
Characters: George Flood, John Kildare, Dan Leno
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

DNWs: No pregnancy or babies; no underage sex; no modern AUs for canons with historical settings
(See letter for likes and more details)
I mainly want fix-its and what-ifs! Can George and John solve the case earlier and stop (some) of Lizzie's lies? Does Dan help? I love Dan so much and his unwavering determination that the show must go on - I am rooting for him to be the toast of Music Hall London! Or perhaps you might feel like writing a scene from Misery Junction!
I'm just as interested in a slice of life in the theatre, or post-canon moments for George and John at work as the dust settles. Does John ever tell? Or does George begin to suspect? I ship them all in any configuration, if that's something you're interested in! I'm also happy for any other character not listed to be included in the story, just not as the main character. And finally, You don't have to include all three characters to the same degree in your story, but as long as they all turn up, I'm happy.

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Basic likes: I strongly prefer third person prose in fic, including for canons originally in first person. I like pining, hurt/comfort, people using other people's prejudices and expectations of them to their own advantage, loyalty kink, competence kink, scars, soulbonds and soulmates, sexy-type biting and related bloodplay, size kink (I really like both the bigger party manhandling the smaller party and the smaller party loving it, and the smaller party bossing the bigger party around and the bigger party loving it), praise kink. If you want to write wintery, Christmasy fic (or other-winter-holiday fic) I'm totally into that for any of these fandoms!
DNWs:
- bestiality (including sexual content involving shapeshifters in animal form)
- scat or watersports

Sons of the Fallen Series - Jaclyn Osborn
Characters: Any
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Basic likes: I strongly prefer third person prose in fic, including for canons originally in first person. I like pining, hurt/comfort, people using other people's prejudices and expectations of them to their own advantage, loyalty kink, competence kink, scars, soulbonds and soulmates, sexy-type biting and related bloodplay, size kink (I really like both the bigger party manhandling the smaller party and the smaller party loving it, and the smaller party bossing the bigger party around and the bigger party loving it), praise kink. If you want to write wintery, Christmasy fic (or other-winter-holiday fic) I'm totally into that for any of these fandoms!
DNWs:
- bestiality (including sexual content involving shapeshifters in animal form)
- scat or watersports

Murderbot (TV)
Characters: Murderbot (Murderbot TV)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Feel free to include book details/characters for flavour if you are so inclined! Something that focuses on the other PresAux characters is totally cool as long as MB is a significant part of the story. I am very open to shipping Murderbot with Dr Gurathin as long as it's in a weird, fucked up way that nods at MB's gender distaste for humans and bodies and emotions. Any degree of kink is okay here, although I would maybe steer away from breeding kink (shocking, if you know me, but it doesn't work for me in this fandom). I also love MB and Mensah's weird queerplataonic relationship and the possibility for bro-hood with Ratthi and the others. I would love to see something about MB and Mensah interacting more about her kids or something about Gurathin's line about loving the others as children. DNW things like Murderbot being enthusiastically and uncomplicatedly into sex or romance, MB assuming a human gender, etc.

SMPLive
Characters: cscoop (SMPLive), Traves (SMPLive), Joko (SMPLive), Worldbuilding (SMPLive)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I love Joko/Cooper, they have a really fun dynamic that's like "when I like a guy so I have to psychologically torment him about it". I'm always interested in reading about them.
I also just love Travis in general, I think he's a very fun character.
SMPLive's world also has a lot of fun underexplored aspects for worldbuilding both from a metafictional (hits, the wheel, chats and the court system) and fully in-universe (the bread/void/salmon cults, Spawn City's economy, the server cop mechanic) perspective.
Likes: Fish hybrid Cooper, dog hybrid Travis, goober Joko (skin color matches emotions), courtroom drama, worldbuilding, shenanigans, light metafiction

Roughhouse SMP

My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I really really badly want to read Poke/James fic, there's like none!! I think they have a really fun dynamic, they're basically inseparable. I would say they're almost like the same mind in two bodies. They are infesting my brain lately.
I think this is my most wanted out of all my requests. There's absolutely no content for this SMP or these guys in general which makes me really sad.
I really like interpreting James as being like, very emotionally reserved and hiding it under being "the funny guy" and "the problem causer".
Likes: Alien (vaguely Slowpoke-esque) Poke, avian James, trans male James, mutual pining, chaos, avian courtship, the rest of Roughhouse terrorizing Michael, Michael/Luna as secondary pairing, Michael in general (he's really funny)
Other characters from RHSMP very welcomed as supporting characters, i.e. Beef, Dink, Burren, Crumb, etc!
As a heads up, if you include Luna in the fic, Luna uses they/them pronouns now, they used he/him when RHSMP was ongoing.
DNW: RPF, explicit sexual content, power dynamics, chatfic, unrequested setting change AUs, superpowers, kidfic

My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I am OBSESSED with the dynamic between Travis and Joko in Mirai SMP. They're very "toxic yaoi". However I'm really not a fan of the possession plot twist so please just disregard that entirely!
I would love to see some relationship study on how their roles sort of shift towards the opposite as the game goes on, with Travis hardening up and using his crazy emotional intelligence to read Joko like a book and Joko struggling to keep up his apathetic, intimidating persona.
Especially with how the underlying guilt Travis has with Cooper's death and his falling out with Techno plays into it. Super fascinating stuff.
I'd also really love to read an AU where they win and get out together with their plan to exploit the bounty on Techno.
The fic can be read on here or on Wattpad, no SMPLive knowledge is needed at all.
DNW: RPF, explicit sexual content, chatfic, unrequested setting change AUs, superpowers, kidfic, Amanda (I know she's canon in Mirai SMP, but I don't like that she is)

Highcraft (Web Series)
Characters: wtbarce (Highcraft), traves (Highcraft), JOKO (Highcraft), cscoop (Highcraft)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

This series is mostly episodic, so you most likely won't need to watch all of it if you've never watched it.
I have a couple different ideas in mind:
- Building off the SMP and "I raised his property value" where Cooper rebuilds Joko's house in the sky could be fun
- I love the modded episodes, especially the more fantasy-based ones like the Aether and the Twilight Forest ones, I'd love to see something based on one of those with worldbuilding and such
- I really love Travis and there's not a lot of good fic about any of his characters, so anything centered on him would be nice. A lot of stuff writes his characters as naive or childish when he's not and it frustrates me because I love how he's incredibly intelligent and can read people like a book despite his shenanigans. He's kind of a high int low wit type character.
Likes: Anthro dog Cooper, tired basemom Cooper or little bastard Cooper with no in between, Joko/Cooper, Travis/Barce, troublemaker Travis, adventure map worldbuilding, mod worldbuilding
DNW: RPF, explicit sexual content, chatfic, unrequested setting change AUs, superpowers, kidfic, graphic violence

A solid and enthusiastic yes to treats!
DNWs: unhappy endings, death, unrelenting cruelty/violence/prejudice, unresolved lack of communication, scat, vomit, diapers, mommy kink, infantilizing.
I have many likes, listed in my letter! I particularly enjoy found family, epistolary fiction, overt flirtation, intense (secretly mutual?) pining, competence kink (which need not be romantic/sexual), and all kinds of power dynamics in sex. My favorite is feelings-heavy dirty smut.
For this fandom, focus on Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow without going into future canon is totally okay (I'm less familiar with the other books, having only read them once).
I love this relationship and would love to see it explored in any way whatsoever, particularly in canon-divergence fics where there is a happy ending for them both.
-BEAN REVEAL is my jam, I have to say. I thirst for recognition from Ender.
-Space hijinks and justice! Ender and Bean or Ender/Bean figure out what’s going on and wrench the early storyline in a particular unexpected direction?
-Ender’s acknowledgment that he worked his best lieutenants the hardest, and demanded most of them, is given more room to breathe, and maybe the two of them take a quiet moment to reflect on the world that might have been or the world they’ll now be responsible for building, through no choice of their own.
-AU where they’re all in some other kind of high-stakes, competence-requiring world and Ender and Bean can find ways to relate that aren’t completely defined by the realities of their origin universe.
-I love Bean’s quiet blessing to his troops in the final battle. I would love to see what would happen if Ender knew the truth too, and what they might bring to bear on a battle that included that incredible weight. I also love the one-by-one introductions of his lieutenants when Ender first sits down to battle after training alone for some time; I would love to see what goes through his and Bean's minds in that moment (though we know a bit more about Bean's perspective already)
-REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY! The kids just spend some time in a Battle Room drifting and talking quietly, or god forbid, laughing, or they straight-up demolish that bullshit institution and turn it into something constructive and powerful, because fuck “we couldn’t have used you this way if you’d ever known the truth, kids” and “this was the only way to do it”

A solid and enthusiastic yes to treats!
DNWs: unhappy endings, death, unrelenting cruelty/violence/prejudice, unresolved lack of communication, scat, vomit, diapers, mommy kink, infantilizing.
Violence/gore consistent with canon is fine, but I'd prefer for it not to be the focus.
I have many likes, listed in my letter! I particularly enjoy found family, epistolary fiction, overt flirtation, intense (secretly mutual?) pining, competence kink (which need not be romantic/sexual), and all kinds of power dynamics in sex. My favorite is feelings-heavy dirty smut.
If I were to sum up what I want in one sentence, it would be: defrocked travelin' man and rebelliously still-frocked (I know that's not a term) priest travel the country (the world?) doing good and getting bloody. If they FALL IN LOVE THAT IS A GREAT PLUS.
-I am very happy for you to explore the real horror elements that are central to this canon; I don't mind you telling a story that is firmly rooted in those elements, though you should also feel free to capture Tomás and Marcus in a moment away from all of that, shooting the shit at a bar.
-I like Marcus' implacable nature, and am interested about where it meets with a problematic inflexibility; Tomás' human core, and his openness to others, are some of the most interesting parts of his character to me, but I see how they would be both a gift and a curse going forward. Any kind of exploration of how these men came to be who they are, or any story that deals with who they are becoming, would be wonderful, too.
--Future fic (outsider POV?): a case brings them back together (Marcus is living in a town and has ended up embroiled in it; the church sends Tomás). They have to get used to one another again, but before they know it it's like no time has passed, and the person who has called them has lots of moments of watching it and being like, "How did these two best friends/boyfriends come to be here? I thought they didn't know each other?"
-Anything that is research-oriented, or which explores the bookish parts of the work they will probably be doing in the future, would make my heart sing. Medieval archival research for the win!
-Passionate, somewhat-guilty-but-not-really, just... emotion-filled fucking is my jam

DNWs: unhappy endings, death, unrelenting cruelty/violence/prejudice, unresolved lack of communication, scat, vomit, diapers, mommy kink, infantilizing.
I have many likes, listed in my letter! I particularly enjoy found family, epistolary fiction, overt flirtation, intense (secretly mutual?) pining, competence kink (which need not be romantic/sexual), and all kinds of power dynamics in sex. My favorite is feelings-heavy dirty smut.
One of the best thing about this show was the genuine character growth that seemed to take place in one season. Blip pushed Mike and Ginny to grow; Ginny pushed Mike to grow; Mike pushed Ginny to grow; Evelyn was doing a shit-ton of heavy lifting throughout.
I was so happy to see Blip point Mike in the right direction when it came to being the kind of teammate that Ginny deserves. Anything that continues to explore that would fill me with joy: I'd love to know why it is that Blip has Ginny's back so fully (is it his genuine decency and generosity? The fact that Evelyn took him aside and gave him his own talking-to? That he saw Ginny's dedication first-hand, like Mike did? Some combination of all of these things, or something else?), and I'd really to see him teach Mike how to see with... clearer eyes. More open and more generous and better eyes, honestly. I'd love any moment of siblinghood between Blip and Ginny, or maybe Ginny trying to teach Blip and Mike something (baseball-related or otherwise) and having them both fail utterly at it?
-I’d love to see an easy day at the field, Mike icing his entire fucking body and Ginny at the end of rehabbing her shoulder and their easy camarederie on display
-I have to admit that early life exposure to Mark-Paul Gosselaar in the form of dubbed Salvado Por La Campana episodes has permanently left me in a place in which I'd love to see him and Ginny get together. I am very into it. Including just... bad-decision PWP with love (which need not be super romantic) and respect.
-Future fic where Mike’s retired and Ginny's house-husband (or best friend) would be A-okay by me.
-SPORTS OLD AGE, THOUGH NOT ACTUAL OLD AGE: A Biography by Mike would be great, particularly if he settles into coaching or broadcasting or anything entirely new
-Finally, anything with Ginny will make me happy. I don't know enough about her and I want to learn where her vulnerable parts are and how she got that frame of steel, and I want to see her really carve out her place in the team (with others ideally stepping up and helping make a space for her)

I have many likes, listed in my letter! I particularly enjoy found family, epistolary fiction, overt flirtation, intense (secretly mutual?) pining, competence kink (which need not be romantic/sexual), and all kinds of power dynamics in sex. My favorite is feelings-heavy dirty smut.
This movie has been beloved to me from the moment it came out (alright, alright, don't lose your blob! I lost my blob).
I love the relationships between the family here: the deep willingness that Tony and Jackie have to act in ways that support Billy, even if they don't fully understand him. In general I think this is the vibe: reaching across spaces toward other people, because love makes it worth it. The fact that Billy loves Michael, and that THEY ARE STILL FRIENDS IN ADULTHOOD (I hope; given that the family is all seated together at the end, I'm assuming they are) makes my heart explode.
-Seeing Billy thrive as an adult would be amazing. A slice-of-life in which he is self-assured and happy and being gracefully competent would make me so happy
-Without dissing on Michael's partner, I WOULD NOT MIND Billy/Michael in any form: casual, laughter-filled, hot sex between friends; friends-to-lovers; Billy realizing late in life that Michael has been the most consistent presence in his life and realizing he must battle for his hand in marriage
-Billy being incredibly oblivious to the fact that everyone in his company is thirsting after him and Michael pointing it out (laughingly, as best friends do, or sexily, as best friends do), or Billy teaching someone the very basics while they struggle not to implode
-Seeing either Tony or Jackie become knowledgeable-ish about any aspect of what Billy does would be tremendous, as would be them trying to teach others. I'd also love to see any of their future interactions in the mines (DOWN WITH FUCKING THATCHER), perhaps a little wiser and a little more emotionally able because of how they've grown as a family

千秋 - 梦溪石 | Thousand Autumns - Mèng Xī Shí
Characters: Yan Wushi, Shen Qiao (Thousand Autumns)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Please make at least one of these two express their feelings to the other directly. Doesn't have to be a love confession, but anywhere from "I like you" to "I love you" or any other way you have to phrase it, make them tell the other how they feel about him! Bonus points if you can do this in a very in-character way, rather than making it a modern or Western AU where they're more likely to say these things outright. Yan Wushi can be arrogant about it. Shen Qiao can be reticent. But for some reason, in some circumstance, they're forced to say it.
Do Want: Some nice consequence of them saying it, like a kiss or a proposal or doing the deed. I am happy with smut or no smut!
Do Not Want: Kid fic, animal fic, noncon, genderswap/genderfuckery.
Feel free to include any other characters you like.
Treats welcome.

OK, this is where I admit to being a horny bitch. Please flesh out one or more of the makeout/sex scenes that the book was so softcore about!

Do Want: Something titillating and hopefully loving as well!
Do Not Want: Anything out of tone with the book - no dubcon, noncon, angst or misunderstandings between the two (unless it's the goofy, easily resolved type of misunderstanding).

Characters: Caspar (Midnight Burger), Ava (Midnight Burger), David (Midnight Burger), Effie Mucklewain
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I love this show
The circumstances and character development they've gone through are Fascinating, the flaws and skills they've built and shifted around, the way they interact with each other and their narratives... Delicious. These aren't specific prompts, but have a ramble about each of them:
I love exploring pre-canon Caspar's story, the 130 years he spent in the diner just him and the Mucklewains being clinically depressed... so much space in there to play. His character arc through the show, as he learns to Try and Connect with other people, his developing relationship with his son... Make this man come face to face with how much he's changed, how irrevocably the diner and his friends have changed him, for better or worse. Make him realize he can never go back. I love his ridiculous characters (Julius Bohanon, Huell Howser), his moms, his snark in the face of Everything. I love people pointing out that Caspar is Also weird, yeah he's Just Some Guy, but occasionally someone just looks at him and goes "you talk weird, you know that?" Love how he clashes with himself and has to Purposefully Try To Be Better.
Ava! I think the way Ava sees and talks about the world is so fucking interesting. Her speech about taking revenge on the universe by studying it, her discussion of fermions and bosons, and her fear of running out of time due to the universe expanding... There's something wrong with her, Tell Me More. I love seeing the Few moments she gets ruffled or briefly drops the snark in emergencies, the vanishingly few times she seems genuinely afraid,, show me things that force her to drop the mask for just a moment, and show me how she recovers it afterwards. Mess with her brain, she Hates that :) Take her out of her element :)
David my beloved. I love David tentatively rebuilding a relationship with Caspar, and I'm so curious about what the aftermath of Caspar disappearing looked like. What was it like when David reestablished contact with his mom? What's his relationship with his grandmothers? I would love to see more of David and Caspar navigating David being in the diner, more of Caspar explaining things to David in the first place, how do these two Handle the dangers and weirdness? Caspar freaking out all through Romney for America was *delicious,* and I can Only Imagine what the previous night was like: Ava and the Mucklewains have been kidnapped. The diner is moving for the first time in 8 months. David has snuck on board. All of Caspar's worst nightmares. What's David's relationship with the others, including Ava and the Mucklewains when they're back? How is it for him to meet the three Sisters and the refugees, who knew his dad during this time that David only just learned existed?
Effie Mucklewain is a fucking icon. I love any worldbuilding to do with the Mucklewains, I think the implications of their existence and the way they experience reality is so interesting, and the way Effie especially goes through it is so cool. Her push/pull relationship with Ava, the way in season 1 they go from almost (friendly) nemeses to Effie asking Ava specifically to mess with the radio and telling her she has to be brave now... Effie pulling Ava aside to cook and talk about how she sees the world in Farmhouse... Because of Ava, Effie knows more of who she is, and (partly) because of Effie, Ava is starting to reach out more to other people. They both push each other to face the parts of themselves they're uncomfortable with and I. Love it. Anyway. Effie's relationship with Caspar, too, the time they spent with just them and Zeb in the diner, the way he *wouldn't acknowledge them* for ages... By not acknowledging them he was kinda cutting off their One connection to the outside world for a while. And then, what's her relationship with David? They have kind of a grandparent/grandchild feel at times, but I'd love more exploration of that too...

Cliffhanger (1993)
Characters: Hal Tucker, Gabe Walker, Jessie Deighan
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Okay, I have a weird fondness for this action movie, one I kinda forgot existed until I saw it added to Netflix a few months back. In re-watching it with older eyes, I’m surprisingly struck by the potential for character exploration in Hal, Jessie, and Gabe. I’d be curious how you might poke at the relationship between those three, either platonically or not - either before, during, or after the events of the movie (or heck, all three).
- Hal interests me the most, as he goes through one hell of an experience in two short days, both physically and emotionally. Poor guy. If you’re comfortable with whump or h/c, he could really use some positive attention.
- Do the three of them stay in the mountains after the events of the film? Do they leave? Do they adapt somewhere in the middle?
- If you’d like to write something lighter, maybe a glimpse at what life was like at the rescue centre before the events of the movie? The team working together, taking a moment of recreation… or how did they meet? How have they changed over the years?
I would be equally happy with friendship, canon ships, or combinations of three together (however you feel the vibe). They’ve all been through some pretty intense shared trauma (twice!), and there could be all sorts of ways their stories might go.
-
I like canon-typical violence, found families, ensemble fics, adventure, cuteness, competence porn, witty dialogue, and snark (canon-typical harsh language is A-OK), historical details, ghost stories, monsters, action, humour, found damily, strong platonic friendships as well as slow-burning, first time, or established romantic relationships (or even antagonist-to-friendship). Whump and H/C is good. M/M, M/F, F/F, and happy poly combos are all my bag. I like porn in the fandoms where I've mentioned it, but it's not a need if you're not comfotable with it, and plottiness and characterization are delightful to me. I also prefer everyone in relationship and porn situations to be consenting, capable adults, please.
Not a fan of crack-fic and most AUs (with the exception of Pacific Rim jaeger-pilot AUs, they are a surefire way to my heart I LOVE LOVE LOVE those). Hard no/DNW overall to abuse of any kind, infidelity, humiliation, rape, spousal violence, cruelty to animals or kids, mpreg, A/B/O, reader-insert, and deathfic.

The Exorcist (TV)
Characters: Marcus Keane
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I never thought I would come to adore a character so very different from myself. I don’t know how much of it is in the writing of the show and how much is just Ben Daniels being amazing, but the conviction, the ferocity, the pain and yet the amazing level of faith in this character will probably always stick with me. We have canon material with such potential for backstory, for things taking place in between the seasons, and after that cliffhanger… gah! I would love to see an exploration of Marcus’ past, or his perspective, or his future.
- Clearly, Marcus and Father Bennett have known each other for years. How’d that first meeting go? How has their friendship/working relationship progressed to the point where Marcus would pull a gun on the man without blinking?
- Does Marcus keep in touch with the Rances? Postcards from afar? Souvenirs as he and Tomas drive and drive?
- On that… road-tripping with Tomas. The quiet, banal moments in between exorcisms being as much of a test on sanity as the demons. Sightseeing games. Weird roadside attractions. The kindness of strangers and the unsettling emptiness of unbroken highways. How do they spend the time together? How do they cope when it’s completely normal things like flat tires or leaky engines trying to disrupt their faith? Note - I ship Marcus and Tomas very much, but would also be perfectly content with an intense, platonic approach.
- Marcus the artist, sketching. With his eyes that see everything, seek everything, how is drawing enough of an escape to be called a hobby? Is it?
- Epistolary epistolary epistolary. Letters between Marcus and Tomas (and we know Tomas has a thing about letters). Or Marcus and Mouse. Or Marcus and people he has known and saved. Words written but not spoken. Letters unsent, tucked into that heavily modified bible with drawings of trees and sunrises and other tiny moments.
I know that this canon can get pretty heavy at times, and for the most part I am okay with canon-typical horror or things mentioned in passing, but I’m still a hard no and DNW to any explicit details or stories focused on humiliation, rape, spousal violence, cruelty to animals or kids, please.

Nemesis (1992)

My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

So, uh... this movie is over 30 years old and I rediscovered it on Tubi. I've seen it dozens of times and really like it, in all its 90s cyber-noir glory (just don't watch any of the 4 sequels, trust me on this). There is a universe full of augmented humans, cyborgs rebelling, machines replacing humans, machines and virtual intelligences helping the human resistance, deep thoughts on body horror and personhood... and there is no fic. None. You have a blank slate before you! If this is a bit intimidating, I've got a few possible suggestions:
- Alex and Max are such polar opposites, yet have a very interesting friendship going on by the end of the movie. What kind of interactions do they have as they begin on Alex's quest to track down the machines infiltrating human society? What are Max's thoughts as she came around to no longer wanting revenge for Alex killing her sister? Did Alex apologize? I would love a fic that explores their friendship and methods of working together, or even just existing together. Also, I strictly do not ship these two romantically; anything other than intensely platonic would be a hard no thank you.
- Alex and Jared. Hoooughfff. Tragic couple. How about exploring their backstory? Alex clearly didn't know that Jared was synthetic when they first got together, yet he ended up very hurt by the revelation. On top of that, he has his own messed up relationship with humanity and personhood as his personal percentage of cyborg parts goes up and up and up. And after losing her... oooof. Tragic romance, so much potential there.
- Alex on his own has great potential for some body horror and good old sci-fi noir thoughts (complete with monologing). Feel free to go into his past, his future, his way of looking at the world versus surviving it, complete with his dry sense of humour.
- Yoshiro Han has a great outside perspective of the events of the movie, and just as much potential to explore with his role with the Red Army Hammerheads. If humour is your bag, you could go through his perspective as the hotel manager on Shang Loo getting overrun with machines in power suits and sunglasses (it's not like they're subtle). Does he continue being Max and Alex's contact on their mission? How long has he known Max?
Other than not shipping Max and Alex, I don't really have any other guard rails to suggest. I'm okay with canon-typical body horror, violence, harsh language, and mention of canon deaths/events (again, ignoring the Nemesis 2 through 5, I beg).

Riddick (2013)
Characters: Luna (Riddick 2013), Dahl (Riddick 2013), Boss Johns (Riddick 2013)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I think this team has so much potential to explore in fic. I would really love a fic that tackles any one, two, or all three of them.
- How did Dahl and Boss Johns start working together? A fic focusing on a past job together, or downtime in the void of space between jobs would be great (endlessly amused by the detail that Johns' team plays dominos). Was Dahl working with Boss Johns when he found out about his son? They clearly trust each other and work well together - feel free to explore that!
- Dahl is both feminine and tough - not afraid to mop the floor with Santana, but also concerned about her leader getting a little close to the edge. I think she deserves some fic out there in the world.
- Luna's going to be in for a bit of culture shock if he sticks with the other two. The differences in working with an official, law-based team would make for some great worldbuilding. He's young, he's religious (religion in space! more than one religion in this universe, too!), and he's still competent and skilled enough to be on Santana's team in the first place. Feel free to explore him! I could easily see he and Dahl getting a bit of a sibling relationship, too.
- Boss Johns is... complicated. Layered. For a lawman, he broke quite a few personal rules and pushed the boundaries of a few others over the events of the movie, and I don't really see him being the same sort of man in the aftermath. What kind of thoughts does he have to himself in the dark of space afterward, and what does he end up writing about his son in the family bible?
I don't ship any of these three together, so I'd prefer not to have any smut in this one. You can go dark, or light-hearted slice-of-life, or canon-typical violence. You can refer to earlier events in the movie series if that helps you, but it's not necessary at all; it's a big universe just in this one movie.

Underworld (Movies)
Characters: Lucian (Underworld), Selene (Underworld), Michael Corvin
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Oh, I freaking LOVED Underworld. This DEFINED urban fantasy for me for years, and gave me fashion goals I could never really achieve. I adore the designs of the lycans and the drama of the vampires, and I would love a fic that includes my three favorite characters in some way.
- If you would like to stick with canon events, Michael has the full telenovela of vampire and lycan history running through his head. The stories shared in the bite would have great potential to provide a glimpse of Lucian, despite his untimely demise.
- If you'd like to deviate a bit from canon, I would really love a fic that has Lucian survive as a hybrid alongside Michael. Selene and Lucian have considerable bad blood, but also Selene having to deal with the fact that Lucian wasn't fully in the wrong.
- Or, a further canon deviation, if Lucian survives as a hybrid instead of Michael - both of them then having lost their loves, full of rage against the vampires, with only the other to rely on. Chef's kiss on angst and hurt/comfort, yum.
- Michael has had a rough few days. He's barely had a chance to get a handle on being a lycan, and suddenly he's a hybrid, with no one else to give him any guidance on this new flavor of body horror. The smells, sounds, sensations, memories... is Michael even still there when he shifts?
Canon-typical violence and language is fine. Shipping of all three or variations within is delightful for me. Take me back to the world of leather, latex, long jackets, and bare chests.

Killjoys (TV)
Characters: Fancy Lee, D'avin Jaqobis, Pree (Killjoys)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Oh, Killjoys. I came late to this fandom but damn if it doesn't scratch the moderately-deranged-team/family-on-a-spaceship itch that Farscape and Legends of Tomorrow left behind. I love pretty much everyone on this spaceship (and the spaceship), but I think these three characters have the most potential to play with I love D'avin and his sense of humour, his snark, and his determined loyalty. I love Fancy's assuredness and depth of his journey from designated asshole to Team Awesomeforce member. I love Pree's Pree-ness (I can't think of another word). Found families, platonic affection, flirting and punching, banter, FRIENDSHIPS, physical closeness and comfort, sex-positivity, puns, ridiculous arguments, weird space shit... I love it all. Here's a few ideas I can toss your way:
- At the start of season 3, Fancy and Pree have joined the rest of Awesomeforce on a job - are they also living with the rest of the team on Lucy? How's D'avin dealing with the close proximity to Fancy? How's Pree dealing with the collection of personalities without the bar between them for space? How's sharing bathrooms? Group mealtimes? Sharing downtime? Impulsive hookups? Drinking games and falling asleep together on the couch?
- The antagonistic partnership of Fancy and D'avin gives me life (both shippy and non). Fancy grabbed my interest with the 'designated asshole' status, and I'm glad he got un-Hullened, but I also fell over laughing at 'Human shield, bitches!' andI might not ever get back up. hell, if you want to write these two boys pulling a series of ridiculous one-upmanship dares, or the trope of being handcuffed/forced to work together, or enemies-to-friends-with-benefits, I'd dive in most happily.
- What does Pree see, across the bar in the Royale? He wasn't always there, but Killjoys were a pretty constant presence as customers - feel free to turn back the clock a bit and explore a pre-canon story where he first met Team Awesomeforce (and Fancy). How does he observe killjoy traditions, killjoy parties, killjoy superstitions, killjoy benders, or killjoy sorrows?
- Was Fancy always an asshole? Are assholes born or taught?

Escaflowne likes: Van and Hitomi saving each other, or little quiet moments when their guards are down and they show their genuine affection. Mecha battles are always fun, same with world building. For Dilandau, his brain and crazy intrigue me, I love him.
General likes: when characters are given a reason to cry, possessiveness, feral behaviour, action,
fucky/toxic relationships, power dynamics, food, music, loving each other too much to function, and humor (puns, ridiculous situations, dark irony)
Smut is welcomed. No preference in dynamics or omegaverse designations.
Go wild, go unhinged, have fun.
General soft dislikes: sissification, non-canon age differences, pet-like animal-human hybrids (werewolves, cursed creatures and monsters do not count as hybrids)
DNW: heavy recreational drug or alcohol use in a positive light (non-con drugging is fine, same with a passing glass of wine, just no drunk or high shenanigans please. Dealing with the aftermath of a binge session is more than okay in the context of addiction), cheating, sexual content under age 13, graphic eye trauma

Kaleido Star
Characters: Naegino Sora, Layla Hamilton
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I always want more and more of the Layla x Sora ship, anything sweet and fluffy G to more explicit oh my power dynamics is totally fine. If any of the other characters make an appearance that's fine too.
1) Maybe it's a long slow burn of Sora not knowing how she feels. Does she want to be like Layla or does she just want her? Layla has feelings towards Sora but doesn't express them either because he's not sure how she really feels, if Sora feels the same, or she doesn't want to distract Sora or get in her way. Layla never confides with anyone about it! Or maybe she does after just 1 alcoholic beverage with a close friend?
2) Sora and Layla have a big huge performance together and have to be very physically close with each other, it's required in order to pull off a certain move or act. Maybe there's a lot of frustrations that build up in the practice room over hours of trying to do it? Maybe early on or later on one of them realizes oh no I'm turned on? This may or may not lead to something?
3) Sora praise kink and Layla satisfies it.
Again please don't feel bound by any specific prompts with any of these requests, just take what you like.
Thank you dear author. BTW I'm open to treats for any/all of these requests, thank you so much!

OK SO I would really really like to ask for a focus on either Char x Lalah or a focus on Char x Challia. I am also totally fine with any of the other characters that were nominated, surprise me!
1) If it is a focus on Char x Lalah here's what I'd like to request:
I was honestly shocked that there wasn't more fanfare/etc. when Char and Lalah were finally able to be together at the end. Like I didn't even know I shipped them so hard until all of the build up and then when they were in the same scene (in the ending credits?) I honestly cried I was so overwhelmed with emotion. I would like a story with more background on them during the time they were able to finally be together. Or anything else! Rating: fluffy to anything more explicit is totally fine!
2) If it is a focus on Char x Challia here's what I'd like to request:
Ohhhoho the chemistry (I fantasize with my fangirl goggles) these two have. That time when they were together drinking wine? Hello I thought something something was about to happen right then and there. Some ideas but please don't feel constrained by any: Char being direct and Challia not getting it as first and then he does or some hurt/comfort when something happens to one of them. DNW: please no one dying. Rating: fluffy to anything more explicit is totally fine! Thank you dear author. Note: I'm open to treats!

Hikaru x Eagle x Lantis 3 way or Hikaru x Eagle or Hikaru x Lantis are all great. Also I love the idea of Umi x Clef either dating or as just friends going on misadventures. Sweet and fluffy G to more explicit is totally fine!
1) Some/any combination of a lovely loving poly relationship. What's the dynamic like? Or just sweet cuddle times and filling each others emotional needs and validations.
2) After the end of the series, the characters going on a magical odyssey in Cephiro or another world. Or a wacky dream event?
Anything goes, I'll eat anything. Thank you dear author! Note: I'm open to treats!

However, I would like to envision a future where that didn't happen and they were just like fuck it all let's date. And so they hold hands and skip around the streets of Seoul and do fun things and misadventures like noraebang and eat bingsu and go to an arcade and all the things.

(Spoiler for end of series): SO I was devastated absolutely devastated about the fate of this couple at the end of the series. I have not recovered. Yes Seo Dan being a lady of righteous revenge is.. good... But. I would like to ask for something like a "please fix this" and Gu Seung Jun not die please. I love Seo Dan, I love everything about her, personality, what a lady, my fave character in all of kdrama (probably). I want all the good nice things for her. And her and Gu Seung Jun's bantering to continue. I didn't even like him much at first but by the end of the series he won me over all because he won Seo Dan over. I will forever be dramatic about this. Please anything where he doesn't die. Some ideas but please don't feel constrained by any of them: they get to travel luxuriously to some European country or something and are bantering and have a great time, they get engaged and/or married and some funny mishaps ensue but it's also very sweet, maybe it was not clear if Gu Seung Jun died but Seo Dan thinks he did so then it's a big surprise that he comes back to her and is ok.

Please see letter for DNWs - https://trisigmatic.wordpress.com/2025/10/18/dear-yulegoat-2025/
I love Cheris' willingness to personally take on the price of her actions. As a soldier she’s creative and compassionate, and while she is prepared to serve as Kel Command demands, she doesn’t do so blindly. Loyalty and personal morals are pragmatically and painfully balanced with the mathematics of warfare. I’d love a story set at any point in canon, but would also be happy with pre-canon or AU versions of event. The calendrical mechanics are one of my favourite parts of the worldbuilding. I’d love to see Cheris in training, or in one of her first battles, or just wrestling with chains of loyalty and consequence.
Worldbuilding opens up a huge number of options, but here are some ideas of varying levels of crackiness. A crossover where canon characters play Clocktower. Any story focused on some of the other factions, or the servitors, handling the run up to or fall-out of the canon events. Unusual calendrical effects on the boundaries of Hexarchate space, or via unanticipated heresies. Meta-fiction where a fic exchange is the heresy in question: what are the calendrical effects of anonfailing in Coal, or gifting Dewclaws, or a critical mass of YUMADRIN drabbles, or just being Morbane? Bonus points if you can work in goose-fat or if the outcome of an epic space battle hangs in the balance.

I love these books so much! This year I nominated Bob, Mo, Iris and Derek. I really don’t mind which characters you choose to use (or none at all if you want to focus on OCs). Bob and Iris obviously have a lot of mutual history, and they’re both very unreliable narrators. Seeing canon events through the other’s eyes could be interesting. They’ve also both had to make pretty bleak compromises/deals with devils, with varying degrees of success and/or soulrot. Derek is just…ahhh, my autistic heart just wants to hug him. I love seeing him grow into his skillset and be empowered by being his full self. Mo’s journey is also a fascinating one, first as the guardian of a very interesting weapon, and then as a fully-fledged auditor, and how she navigates all this alongside her relationship with Bob is just fraught and heartbreaking and powerful, especially as she moves into middle age. They all have very different approaches to problem solving. I’d love a fic that explores how they work together, albeit not necessarily towards the same ends or with the same set of priorities as regards collateral damage in the pursuit of keeping humanity alive.
Um... I'd be very open to a Slow Horses crossover for this fandom? Either in the general sense of keeping incompetent practitioners away from civvy street, or cameos by the Slough House team. Roddy Ho has surely run into algorithmic things that mortal man wasn't meant to know. Was he just too oblivious to worry about? How do the Laundry and Slough House teams end up tripping over each others' feet? Is Lamb a Deeply Scary Sorceror on secondment? Are Catherine and Mo colleagues who bond over the trials of being in/heading towards middle age?

This fandom is basically a 5-minute fandom rabbithole. Go as deep as you like. It would suit drabbles, archival footage, academic papers, interactive fiction, or deeper explorations of one or more of the characters. I would literally love ANYTHING AT ALL for this fandom. Go dark and lean on the folk-horror aspect, or go the other direction and bring the weirdness into the light of everyday life. I love the deep connections to the land of Emily C. Banting, I love Sophie Morley’s academic exploration of artistic rituals and horrors, and Trippy Pete is just an amazingly fun and fey character who walks between all the different worlds.

The characters I nominated are all very competent, practical people with different types of connection to the uncanny and mythological powers of the British countryside. There are no fics for this fandom yet, so I would genuinely be happy with practically anything. If you really want to give me a Yuletide to remember, the mythology of South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire would be very, very appreciated. There’s The Dragon of Wantley, Well Dressing traditions, Longdendale Lights, but perhaps the most interesting theme is the intersection of the mythological and the industrial, drawing on the legacies of the riverside cutlery works, the dams and drowned places, and the Great Flood. Honestly though, I would love a story featuring any combination of these characters, doing canon-typical things. A story leaning in to seasonal events around Christmas/Yule would be fun to receive. A Hookland crossover would be welcome if you fancy it, and I can also see options for crossover stories with The Dark is Rising – Dan et al encountering Jane or Barney as adults with their own problems or mysteries in the present day.

Please see letter for my DNWs - https://trisigmatic.wordpress.com/2025/10/18/dear-yulegoat-2025/
I’ve always loved these novels, and the Cornish setting of Trewissick in particular. I do not expect a story that uses all of these characters, or that location, but go for it if it works for you.
For Barney, a story that focuses on his art would be amazing. I love the parallels between him and the Painter of the Dark in Greenwitch – a mutual recognition of talent and power – and it would be really interesting to see Barney picking up on the magic that remains in the world post-canon through the medium of his art. Alternatively, where do his skills and experiences taken him in an AU where things didn’t end so nicely?
The friendship between Jane and the Greenwitch is lovely, but I’m also drawn to the thematic moments of change and potential that they share. Both exist in a liminal state: between girl and woman, between a fragile, created thing and a terrifying powerful force. The Greenwitch’s childlike possessiveness is balanced by Jane’s generosity, and they both carry painfully clashing elements of innocence and wisdom. What are Jane’s experiences of folk magic like as an adult, and do they spark memories of the adventures that she forgot? How does the Greenwitch’s influence endure in Jane’s future, and vice versa?
Both Barney and Jane are observed closely by the Old Ones as focal points for events – they’re similarly used by the powers of the Dark. Why are they different from Simon in this respect? What do the powers of the Dark see in them: a means to an end, or an end in themselves? How does this tie in with the larger battle beyond that of Light and Dark: humanity’s struggle with its own nature?
And then there’s the Rider. Lawful and affably evil at times, but at others a force of chaos and corruption, and always deeply manipulative. The mentor/mentee dynamic could be a fun one to explore here, either with one of my chosen characters, or others.

The stories I enjoy in this fandom are the ones that lean into the background lore of the game more than the mechanics (the exception here would be a Machineries of Empire crossover where they play Clocktower and it has functional Calendrical effects). A story that explores the tension between public image and private identity, who we are and who we serve, and the close bonds of trust between friends and enemies would really hit the sweet spot for me. Kill with grace and die with dignity!
This year I nominated the Trouble Brewing roles of Scarlet Woman, Baron, Librarian and Fortune Teller. You are welcome to use them in any combination, or none at all. Scarlet Woman and Baron both serve a higher and darker power. What drew them in? Who corrupted whom? What is their relationship with one another? The Imp can starpass to either one of them – are they ready for that moment of transformation? The townsfolk I nominated are very much complementary to these two minions: the Fortune Teller detects the demon and can both clear the Scarlet Woman and hasten her ascendancy (or that of the Baron) by throwing suspicion on the Imp. The Librarian and the Baron detect and add outsiders in the game. How often do they end up working in tandem? How do they support the outsiders they have relationships with, or use them to undermine the town?

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

This campaign has been wild so far, I love it. I've enjoyed the different trials and the emphasis on individual spells and the fact that the NPCs are ridiculous but I'm still emotionally invested in many of them. Some ideas in no particular order: Rictus character study/backstory, worldbuilding, a story about existing NPCs and/or new NPCs that you come up with, the three player characters using their abilities together in combat in interesting ways.
DNW: trauma/mental illness as a major focus of the story

Glaucomflecken Hospital (Web Series)
Characters: Any
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Things I love about these characters: Rural Medicine and Texaco Mike doing a little bit of everything to keep their community alive, Pathology being wholesome in the basement with his microscope, Anesthesia's complicated relationship with Surgery, Ortho and Opthamology being confused about the squishy non-bone parts of the body/everything below the nose, Ortho in general, the different characters interacting with each other, the fact that all the doctors ultimately want to help people despite their individual issues and the stress that they're under. It's fun to see comments or reaction videos from people in the medical field talking about how accurate the sketches are. I'd be interested in reading about the different medical specialties interacting with each other and how they have unique perspectives that influence how they see their jobs and the human body. It could also be fun to read something from the perspective of a patient who is navigating the medical system and meeting the different providers.
DNW: the characters going to therapy, real-life politics as a major focus of the story, the doctors being shipped with each other

The Romance Genres Discuss - Elisabeth Wheatley
Characters: Any
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I appreciate how Elisabeth Wheatley is an avid romance reader and writer who doesn't mind making fun of the more ridiculous romance tropes, so that the series comes off as self-aware without being mean. It's fun to see how the genres have different perspectives on issues related to romance but they also find common ground a lot of the time. I also enjoy how they explore the fantasy that it would be easier to date a vampire or fae lord than it is to deal with modern dating culture. I'd be interested in seeing new genres interacting with the main four (sci-fi romance? queer romance genres?) or hearing them discuss different topics. Or what if they somehow ended up in each other's genres?

I'd love to read something about the best boy Pocket! I'm interested in his adventures before, during, and/or after the game takes place, either with his owner or the player character or the things he gets up to on his own. What is it like for him to turn into brass knuckles and be wielded as a weapon? How did he first discover that he can do this? Has he met any other animal weapons? I'm also interested in worldbuilding about the setting in general. I don't have any preferences about the player character or any background relationships, feel free to include details from your game or whatever you think would be fun to write about.
DNW: bestiality, reader-insert stories (I don't mind 2nd person POV though), mental health/addiction/therapy as a major focus of the work

Sid is great and he doesn't get enough love. I'd also enjoy exploring more of Galavant and Isabella's relationship, either during canon or post-canon or in some alternate universe. Or what about Sidney/Galavant/Isabella? I'm also fascinated by the dynamic between Gareth and Madalena, if you want to include them. I love this show because it feels like "crack treated seriously" fanfic except that it's canon- I like the songs and the 4th wall breaks and the satire that manages to be fully earnest at the same time. Feel free to go wild with alternate setting AUs or canon divergence AUs if the mood strikes you!

I admit, I have little to say here as a prompt; I was just tickled by this song. Please elaborate on how 3 hours with a close-up magician turns into 7 years. How did the magician come to move in with the couple and sleep between them in their bed? Or just a day in the life of a couple and their third wheeling close up magician. I saw a suggestion that the narrator of this song could also be the Paint That Lady guy so if you want to play with that or incorporate other TC songs that could be fun. I'm happy with romance or just a couple with a weird lil guy.
Bonus points if the girlfriend wears a boiler suit at any point in the story (amazing costume design by Tom).

Any fic that can expand on the relationship between these three would be lovely. I love that they got together in the final but I do wish this was a relationship we got to see build up on the screen. I’d really love to see Wolfgang and Rajan interacting especially since Rajan hadn’t had much interaction with Wolfgang (that he knew about). Since Rajan was so concerned about having a ring to symbolize his commitment to Kala I wonder if he’d stress about needing something to symbolize his relationship with Wolfgang too.
Also, I’m happy for any of the other cluster members to appear or Felix. And if you were looking to write smut please feel free to include any or all of the cluster.
I love: First times (kisses, sex etc), getting together, poly relationships negotiations, people finally sitting down and talking about their feelings (I’m looking at you Kala), porn with feels, found family, slice of life, bed sharing, intimate touches, hand holding, hair petting, pegging, oral sex, domestic

Dimension 20: Cloudward Ho!
Characters: Torse (Dimension 20 Cloudward Ho), Maxwell Gotch (Dimension 20 Cloudward Ho)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Writing this prompt still high off the finale! Loved this campaign. Loved Maxwell from the get go and I enjoyed every interaction between these two characters. I liked how each of the characters sought the other, their kinda tough guy warrior bond and I really love thematically that Maxwell’s first bit of whimsy was wanting to put Torse’s heart back in.
Does Torse remember Maxwell jumping after him? Does he ever find out that Maxwell carried him on his back? I know fandom has chewed on this a lot but I do love the parallel between Torse's iron heart and gold heart and Max gloves on gloves off. I’m also really crazy about the idea of Max touching Torse's heart. I cannot believe the gold knuckles is a canon detail.
I’m happy with a filler scene set during the campaign or anything post season. Maybe a meet the family thing since Samwell is now in Zood too? How does Torse interact with Wealwell? I'd love to see Torse reunite with the remaining Aganti Zernai and more details on his background. Or anything with Maxwell (and the Zepher ii crew) helping Torse repair or explore Zern.
If you like to write smut I am happy to receive. I like character driven pwp and would greatly enjoy a sex scene with a miss match in sexual desire so please do give me horny human with robot who had no discernible genitalia and presumably no sex drive. Or maybe he does, no idea, feel free to explore that in fic.
I like: Found family, porn with feelings, angst with a happy/hopeful ending, first times, mutual pining, fluff, domestic slice of life, people talking about their feelings, intimate touches, blossoming romance, quiet moments of peace, frottage, competency,

Star Wars: Outlaws (Video Game)
Characters: Kay Vess (SW: Outlaws), ND-5 the Commando Droid (SW: Outlaws)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

This game was very fun. I love me a main character of a Star Wars property that doesn’t care at all about the plot of Star Wars. Bless you Kay Vess for seeing Darth Vader and being like “I don’t know nor do I really care who this dude is.”
I also, in general, love droids so I really enjoyed the relationship between Kay and ND-5. Outlaws is the first time I’ve seen in a sw property someone risk their life to save a droid. I think there’s a lot of interesting interactions the two of them would have with the rest of the galaxy post game what with the entire concept of droid ownership. I imagine people seeing Kay and ND-5 would assume that she owns him. How do they react to that? Is Kay just sarcastically like “oh, no actually he won me in a sabacc game.”
Other prompts: I’d be just as happy with anything as long as the characters are happy (or end happy, angst is fine if there's a happy resolution). I like that they both now have the freedom to do whatever they want. Them working together on a job or any kind of domestic slice of life stuff. I love Nix, include him as much as you like. Him sleeping on ND-5 is adorable.
I would enjoy these two characters together romantically but of course if that’s not a thing you like friendship and found family that’s great to. If you like romance and want to write smut? Absolutely! I love pwp as character study and would greatly enjoy a sex scene with a miss match in sexual desire so please do give me horny human with robot who had no discernible genitalia and presumably no sex drive.

I’d really love a fic with a canon divergence where a different character is the Rose Bride and/or Champion. You’re welcome to pair up any two of my chosen characters, or just treat it as gen, and use as many or few of the characters I requested as you like. If you want to keep either Utena or Anthy in their canon roles (ie a story about Rose Bride Juri and Champion Utena, or Champion Juri and Rose Bride Anthy) that’s also cool.
I’m interested in how other characters deal with the role. How would Shiori feel about being the champion? How would Nanami feel about others’ attention if she were the Rose Bride? How to they respond to the powers and vulnerabilities of those roles?

I’d really just love something about Eddie exploring bisexuality, whether she’s doing it intentionally or not. Some ideas:

- Dulcie finally cracking and pointing out that Eddie talks pretty obsessively about lesbians for someone supposedly straight
- Dulcie and/or Cath trying to set Eddie up on dates with women and it potentially going very badly
- Dulcie and Eddie swap bodies. This isn’t even necessarily about sexuality, I just think it would be very funny.

I love the Mel and Eris dynamic! I love the tension and I love Eris’ brattiness, and the way she gets a bit flustered when Mel takes her to the hot springs. I’d love shipfic, but gen is great too, I just want something with Eris trying to provoke Mel and Mel reacting. Some ideas if you want:
- Mel starting to get mouthy back at Eris, and finding that she enjoys it. She’s such a serious character with such a heavy burden on her all her life, and I’d love to see her teasing Eris back and for it to turn into something fun and playful for her.
- Mel pinning Eris down and Eris still mouthing off at her and some “Don’t you ever shut up?” “Make me.”
- Mel realising Eris wants her, or wants something for her, and that’s what all of the bratty behaviour is about. And then using this knowledge for seduction. Or making Eris clean up after herself around the Crossroads. Or both.
- I think Mel should get to step on Eris a bit. Fire feet and all.
Note: at time of writing this, I haven’t gotten to the game’s epilogue, but I’ve played through basically all the other content. So please don’t spoil the epilogue ending, but everything else is fair game.

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Lady Eve's Last Con was the most fun I've had reading a book in a while -- delightfully heisty and full of vivid characters and effervescent worldbuilding. I adored Ruthi's narration and the arc of her relationships with both Jules and Sol, but the one thing the book left me wanting for was some kind of happier ending for Esteban, whom I found surprisingly sympathetic. I would love to see Esteban's POV on "Miss Ojukwu" and any of their courtship, which was so hilarious to me in the book; Esteban and Sol's relationship over the years (with a focus on them as adults/teens); "fix-it fic" where Esteban gets to study his dirt; future fic where Esteban meets Jules and/or their child (very open to post-canon Esteban/Jules as more grown-up versions of themselves who are not lying to each other).

In light of Tsalmoth, it would be especially fun to get Morrolan's POV on some things in the Vlad books. I ship Vlad/Morrolan, and also really enjoy Morrolan's relationship with Zerika and Aliera, but this is genuinely a One True Character situation for me, so really anything with Morrolan would be great!

On a shippy note, I very much enjoy Varvara's crush on Nightingale (I don't need it to be requited, especially in light of recent revelations, but would also be happy to read a fic where it is).
Fandom specific DNW: focus on current Russian politics; focus on the Rivers; Lesley, if she appears, as a black-and-white villain
General DNWs: angst for the sake of angst, horror, gore, darkfic (reasonable amounts of darkness for WWII fic is fine), death of canonical characters who are not dead in canon, animal harm, noncon, situations which play up or eroticize unequal power dynamics in a relationship, unrequested ships, hard kink, soulmate AUs, mundane AUs
I have gifting enabled on my account and am always delighted to receive treats of any length :)

We Are คือเรารักกัน | We Are (Thailand TV 2024)
Characters: Any
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

If you would like to write a shippy work, I’m good with any of the canon relationships OR Mick/Matt OR Beer/Mick OR Beer/Mick/Matt! Otherwise, I’d be delighted by any sort of gen work focusing on any singular or any combination/group of characters!
General Likes

• any of your niche kinks (go wild!)
Optional Prompt Ideas
• I would LOVE works that explore any of the university art/architecture/essay assignments or any of the characters’ post-canon works
-> feel free to go wild and just create a work that is just an architecture design Fang might have come up with, or an artwork one of them could have created, or an essay one of them might have written, or a newspaper article about an art gallery exhibition, or reviews of Tan’s garage, or something similar – absolutely anything exploring their (creative/work) endeavours would be just as deeply delightful as a shippy or storytelling focused work to me!
• any character: during their internship or the first months of their first job post-uni. Internship/job experiences, expectations, struggles… I would like to see them!
• Chain/Pun: Developing Relationship Shenanigans -> them making that change from best friends to being in a relationship. I’d especially love Puns POV on the first weeks/months
• Fang/Tan:
1. something exploring Fang’s insecurities. Canonically, he struggles when Tan isn’t immediately available and being his clingy self, and I’d love an exploration of that.
2. Jealousy/Possessiveness, particularly Fang’s. Fang doesn’t really tend to show his jealousy & possessiveness, or at least not very openly, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Get in that man’s head! Make him spiral! And then ofc let Tan notice & maybe let Tan stake his obvious claim as a reassurance to Fang that doesn’t expose him. <3 Or something in that regard!
• Fang & Phum brother relationships!
• Bets & Wagers: the University Group of Friends gets a bet going. Shenanigans & Hijinks ensue. Perhaps Fang and Beer are the only ones showing a modicum of common sense, or even they aren’t. What’s the bet about? What exactly is going on? The world is your oyster! I just love the dynamics in this group of idiots! Please know that I love all of them and would LOVE a work focused on them.
• Q & Peem Friendship Dynamic. I love the platonic soulmates thing they have going on!
• Beer befriending Peem closer. Show it to meee
• Q & Beer becoming closer friends. Their besties are in a relationship and these two? Perfect fellow commiserators. They both can give Such good advice but also Q is such a bitch sometimes (affectionate) and they both tend to be both nosy and go actually, please do not include me, I am OUT, and I honestly think they’d make a great duo
• any character study, but especially Fang or Beer
• Mick entering some sort of gaming tournament, and making it to an unexpectedly big and far round
• Beer giving literally any of these sillies advice. I love him.
• something incinerating Fang’s or Tan’s fighting urge. I love that they canonically are ready to get rowdy at any given moment :”)
• Anything. Please just go ham. I love them!

볼보이 택틱스 | Ball Boy Tactics (TV)
Characters: Kwon Jungwoo, Han Jiwon (Ball Boy Tactics), Yang Eunoh, Byeong Seungjin
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I’d love to see a character exploration on any of them, OR a friendship exploration of any dynamic, OR something shippy with Jungwoo/Jiwoon or Eunoh/Seungjin. Basically: I love all four main characters so so dearly.
For Jiwon/Jungwoo, should you want to go that route
Their secret relationship due to athlete fame is So interesting to me and offers so so much potential. Any established relationship vignette, or outsider POV fic, or social media view on them, or them dealing with the question of coming out, or jealousy, or or or… would be so incredible to me. I really adore them and their dynamic offers so much.
For Seungjin/Eunoh, should you want to go that route
Obviously we were left sort of open-ended (but also not really) in regards to their relationship, so I personally would sell my non-existent firstborn for any sort of developing relationship and/or pining.
These sillies are, again, SO dear to me, and I’d especially love something canon verse here, but for what, the world is really your oyster!

CLAIMED - PH #110: Death in Paradise (UK TV 2011), Father Brown (2013), The Madame Blanc Mysteries (UK TV), Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators (TV), Silent Witness (TV), Sister Boniface Mysteries (TV)

Request 1 by IrisReticulata9
Death in Paradise (UK TV 2011)
Characters: Camille Bordey, Richard Poole
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Classic bickering and exasperation with an undercurrent of sexual tension, maybe a near miss? Perhaps a ‘there’s only one bed’ situation. Or what would’ve happened if Richard really had been Camille’s blind date. I don’t mind if other characters are involved.

No letter

Request 2 by IrisReticulata9
Father Brown (2013)
Characters: M. Hercule Flambeau (Father Brown TV 2013), Inspector Sullivan (Father Brown TV 2013), Felicia Montague (Father Brown TV 2013), Father Brown (Father Brown TV 2013)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Flambeau is his usual fabulous bastard self, Felicia is a flirt, and Sullivan is annoyed, while Father Brown is trying to keep the peace. Some kind of situation where they’re trapped together, perhaps? Maybe snowed in. Could be a body (plus Felicia scream) and an investigation (don’t worry about the details of the crime, I’m here for the characters!), or maybe just an improvised Christmas or something like that. Flambeau x Felicia welcomed!

No letter

Request 3 by IrisReticulata9
The Madame Blanc Mysteries (UK TV)
Characters: Dom Hayes, Jean White (The Madame Blanc Mysteries)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Dom and Jean cuteness. Maybe they’re on holiday somewhere, or maybe they’re spending Christmas together, or perhaps there’s cooking involved. Other characters optional!

No letter

Request 4 by IrisReticulata9
Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators (TV)
Characters: Sebastian Brudenell, Frank Hathaway, Luella Shakespeare
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Found family vibes, silly outfits, and humour please! Could be Christmas and they’re spending it together and getting on each other’s nerves or winding each other up a little bit, but ultimately having a lovely time. Alternatively, it could be a silly undercover operation.

No letter

Request 5 by IrisReticulata9
Silent Witness (TV)
Characters: Clarissa Mullery, Harry Cunningham (Silent Witness)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Clarissa and Harry meet, hilarity and snark ensue. Other characters all optional, but perhaps if they meet then Nikki and Jack have something to do with it, whether it’s something like having them over for a Christmas celebration, or just setting up that they meet somehow — maybe at a work event they’ll both be at e.g. a conference.
Alternatively, perhaps they already know each other well and there’s a found family vibe.
I’ll be happy with anything amusing!

No letter

Request 6 by IrisReticulata9
Sister Boniface Mysteries (TV)
Characters: Sam Gillespie (Sister Boniface), Sister Boniface (Sister Boniface)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Found family vibes, puns, and silliness. Crime optional. Love Sisters Peter and Reg, but they don’t have to be in it. Same with any of the characters — they’re all great. I would love it if Ruth featured, but she’s not on the list, so obviously not demanding that! Maybe there’s some event like a community Christmas party or a police one, with Mrs Clam and Miss Thimble catering, and the nuns providing the drink. Or maybe it’s one of Sister Boniface’s fantasies. Anything amusing and cosy welcomed!

Feeeeeliiiixxxx. I love Felix. I’d like anything that puts the brothers’ relationship front and centre (I’m good with them developing a romantic relationship if you are, also happy to stay gen), as I love how they (inarticulately and often painfully) love each other very much. AU is fine if you fancy it (High school au? Rock star au?) but happy endings please!

Death in Paradise (UK TV 2011)
Characters: Richard Poole
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I loved Richard. I’d like anything that explores him, and particularly his relationships with his team, Camille, Dwayne, and Fidel. AUs are fine - I’ve always had a high school au plot bunny with Richard and Fidel the nerds and Camille and Dwayne the cool (but kind) kids, which you’re welcome to if you fancy it!
In regards to romance; perfectly happy with straight gen, but if you do pair Richard with anyone make it Camille, please. Totally open to any kind of relationship for Dwayne and Fidel, between them or with others, if you do slash them, I don’t mind.
DNW: death outside of canon - and if you can ignore the canon death, that would be marvellous! You can AU or canon-diverge it out, but if you keep it in please don’t make it the focus. I like ultimately happy fic!

Characters: Robert Parker | Butch Cassidy (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)), Harry Longabaugh | Sundance Kid (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969))
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Love them! Happy for anything that focuses on their relationship, whether it just be as the ride-or(literally)-die buddies they are, or romantic either is totally fine. No Etta bashing, please.
Happy for in canon, canon-divergent or AU. Just anything with them in character and relationship focused.
DNW: If you stay in canon please don’t focus on the death (happy for you to canon-diverge it out, in fact very very happy 😆), and if you go AU, a fic with a happy ending.
Treats cherished!

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures (Webcomic)
Characters: Dick Grayson (Batman: Wayne Family Adventures (Webcomic))
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I’m all about Robin 1.0 in any Batman canon or fanon and I feel he’s a little under-represented in WFA. Fix that! In keeping with the family relationships and light tone of the comics, anything that has my boy front and centre is a winner. Very happy with an exploration of these versions of Bruce and Dick pre WFA timeline - with Dick as Robin - but also love the big family feel so happy for all relationships. My favorite relationships to read about are Dick with Bruce or Damian, but they’re all a big warm hug in this version so happy with them all.
DNW: no romantic relationships, dark fic or death fic (outside canon) please! All light and fluffy for this one😉

Disorganized Crime (1989)
Characters: Nick Bartkowski, Carlos Barrios
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

If anyone besides me remembers this movie, you’ll remember how fun it is. I loved all the characters but only put Carlos and Nick in because I definitely want them in the fic - ideally gently antagonistic, which could lead to romance or just good fun. Delighted to see Ray and Max in as well. Maybe a follow up heist!
DNW: dark fic, death fic, unhappy endings.

My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Above all I just love this setting and Shinn's worldbuilding so much-- go wild! I would welcome anything from a novel outtake/missing scene (Troubled Waters is my fav, but open to anything from the series) to a crossover swapping characters into the Welce kingdom and it's blessings-based deterministic pseudo-religion. What do other holidays look like in Welce-- are there holidays for specific blessings? Lucky days? What's the absolute wildest combo of blessings a kid could get? When travelers visit, do they pull blessings and are those considered 'theirs' by Welce-ian friends and colleagues? So many things to consider...

I have never seen any of the Disney films past the first one, so genuine question from me to you: how exactly does Price Charming (this is deadass his name?? wow) react to the whole talking animals thing. Does Cinderella become a spy chief with a deployable force made out of sewing mice and birds. Does she help win the Disney equivalent of the Napoleonic wars

I watched this episode of Drawfee (available for free on YouTube and a Very Good Time if you haven't seen it) and almost died laughing. Chaotic art gremlins creating poly triangle isekai anime out of thin air. All canon material for this nonexistent anime is in this one 40-min ep, and just-- anything would be amazing. I need to know HOW indecent the second male lead can get, for science.

General likes in letter!
One of my childhood canons that I revisted as an adult (thanks to Youtube) and found myself enjoying far more than I thought! I love the setting of this huge middle school with every hobby under the sun (it has a convention centre!) and the play on the detective noir but with middle school, as well as the characters who are slightly odd but find a place to belong in the Safety Patrol. Fillmore being a big supporter of redemption, because that's what helped him, is something I love to see come up again and again in the show, but I also love how he sometimes has a blind spot too. I love Ingrid being the new kid who still has to get introduced to X Middle School's general weirdness. And Tehama and Anza being quietly competent in the background of most of the episodes! I'm not a big fan of the Principal as a character but I do like her role in the story as a sometimes antagonist/sometimes ally.
Regarding the characters, go with whatever floats your boat! Gen, pre-relationship, relationship, team shenangians. I would love to see more exploration of each character's lives, especially Anza and Tehama (since we get so little of them).
Prompts (if you want them):
- family drama (divorce? Family sickness? Family death?) in Character's life starts leaking into their school life and their work with the Safety Patrol
- case fic - one of the Safety Patrollers joins a new club but try as they might, they can't ignore the warning signs that something is really wrong
- magical AU - curses are a common thing in this world and they get thrown around at X far more than the Safety Patrol would like. Magical Ingrid? Cursebreaker Anza?
- Sherlock Holmes character who somtimes assists the Safety Patrol (but mostly finds their own mysteries) finds their own Watson character as the Safety Patrol look on, charmed and bemused.
- one of the Safety Patrol has to go into hospital for a something more serious/chronic. The team rally around them.

魔尊也想知道 - 青色羽翼 | Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know - Cyan Wings
Characters: Yin Hanjiang, Wenren E (Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

General likes in letter!
I read this in about 3 days over a few weeks and I absolutely loved it! I love characters being able to read books based on their own canons (or versions of their own canons) and then reflecting on their own (or others) choices and behaviour because of it. And the way Wenren E discovers reasons for each person's decisions in the original book as he carried on investigating was so fun - that world exploration is something I do like to see.
I also loved how Wenren E is the Devil Venerable but as the story goes on, it's revealed that Yin Hanjiang is also powerful, has some dubious morals and is absolutely completely unhinged (especially about Wenren E). And it's delightful! I love how many times it's mentioned that Yin Hanjiang doesn't pay any attention to anything that isn't Wenren E, how jealous he gets of Baili Qingmiao (despite Wenren E having negative romantic interest in her), how completely obsessed he is with Wenren E - and Wenren E is just on board with this whole thing as soon as he's sure that Yin Hanjiang is making his own decisions. The loyalty and obssessive nature of their relationship (especially from Yin Hanjiang) is a feature of their relationship for me - but the fact that Wenren E returns this loyalty is also very important.
Happy for any other characters to show up, I just really want the focus on these two.
Prompts (if you want them):
- historical (non-magical) AU where Wenren E rises to the top in Ancient China, of course with Yin Hanjiang by his side
- before the book starts, Yin Hanjiang is attacked and seriously injured. Wenren E does not take this well.
- smut - Yin Hanjiang topping from the bottom, D/s play, wrestling that turns into sex (fighting over the robe anyone), exploring Shu Yanyan's manual
- dimension travel - Yin Hanjiang and Wenren E go to a completely different world from their own and have to adapt (other Cnovels? Space? Non-magical world?)
- Yin Hanjiang regularly gets jealous about people close to Wenren E - both of them like what happens afterwards when Yin Hanjiang wants to stake his claim
- Devil Venerable Yin Hanjiang ends up face to face with Abusive Romance Yin Hanjiang. What kind of advice does he give the poor guy?
- Yin Hanjiang Peggy Sue time travels but ends up in one of the righteous sects. He does not like this and he's definitely going to change things in order to get back to Wenren E that much quicker.

Persuasion - Jane Austen
Characters: Anne Elliot, Frederick Wentworth
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

General likes in letter!
This is one of Austen's books that I only read in the last couple of years and yet it rocketed up to be one of my favourites. I love the regret and the wistful looking back at what would happen if you made that choice, as well as Anne finally getting her happy ending. This is a second chance romance that I really do enjoy, because Anne had a reason for her choice and Wentworth has a reason to be hurt about it but they have both grown up and changed and they meet each other again where they are, rather than where they were. I love how Anne is such a quiet character and yet she's very present at the same time. Wentworth trying his hardest to ignore her and yet being very conscious of her at the same time is very fun!
I enjoy the regency setting and the constraints it puts on social interactions, especially between men and women, and how the characters have to work around that.
Prompts (if needed):
- Anne and Wentworth don't meet again until years later, when Anne is truly the 'spinster aunt'. How does this change their relationship?
- Anne rejects Wentworth's proposal the first time because of health issues rather than canon reasons. These health issues have only grown worse by the time Wentworth comes back.
- Anne and her family after she marries Wentworth - protective Wentworth? Or distance makes the heart grow fonder (at least until they see the family again).
- Wentworth is retired from the Navy after a serious injury, something which makes him a worse marriage prospect than he was the first time around. How does Anne handle this? Does Wentworth even offer for Anne considering what happened last time?
- Anne accepts the proposal the first time around. Why? What does it mean for her and Wentworth?
- The letters they write to each other over the course of their marriage.

Overtake! (Anime)
Characters: Any
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Treats are enabled and welcome!
DNWs: Different setting AU (e.g. coffeeshop, superheroes, royalty, in space), omegaverse, 1st person POV, focus on major injury or death (though canon-typical injury + recovery are fine)
I knew nothing about F4 racing going into Overtake!, but the themes of this show are so much broader than that. Trauma, forgiveness, competition, self-improvement, drawing inspiration from the people around you - it's a charming show, and really emotionally full. All the characters get moments of depth and reflection, and they're each delightful in their own way.
I have prompts for several specific ships in my letter! But I ship nearly every combination of nominated characters - please, no matter how odd a ship you come up with, I'm guaranteed to love it. With the way the relationship dynamics unfold in canon, I felt like I was being invited to ship Satsuki/Toshiki, Kotarou/Haruka, and Haruka/Kouya - but Overtake ALSO gave me some delightful middle-aged men, and I went sprinting right past the pretty boys in pursuit. :D I adore Futoshi, he's such a kind, supportive dad, and I want him to have some happiness that's all his own (even though he'd be perfectly satisfied just watching his boys succeed 🥺). Alternatively, Ena's mild rich entitled jerk vibes are great as well, not to the point of being malicious but just enough thoughtlessness and selfishness to make things fun.
For gen, I'd love post-canon speculation on what happens next. Haruka, Satsuki, and Toshiki have a great dynamic, and anything about their three-way rivalry would be fun. Kouya and Saeko's divorced bickering while working together is a delight. Futoshi, Koutarou, and Haruka are such a sweet family, and a look back at when they first took Haruka in would be adorable. Going even further back before canon, I'd love to see Futoshi, Ena, and Haruka's dad sharing in their excitement about F4 racing, as young men in their prime (or for a sad story, Futoshi and Ena handling Haruka's dad's death).

DNWs: rape + recovery or assault + recovery as a main plot arc; de-aging, age roleplay, age regression; omegaverse; 1st person POV; different setting AU (e.g. superheroes, royalty, in space)
I've loved Antique for decades. The way a simple comedy develops into a emotional, dark, complex story that ends without a clear resolution in a way that feels true to real life, and the richness and depth to the characters, make it a masterpiece that left an indelible mark on my heart.
I ship Ono/Tachibana - there's so much to love about their dynamic! The wish-fulfillment of teenage Ono's crush coming to fruition; the contrast of Tachibana desiring love but being perceived to be a ladies’ man, while Ono keeps attracting love and finds it too much of a hassle; the way people keep mistaking them for a couple. Tachibana having remembered Ono for all these years, after rejecting him!! I adore a jaded, grouchy guy catching feelings and being mad about it, and also messed-up people with problems finding peace and fulfillment in each other. Ono and Tachibana have a special connection in the way that Ono's crush and Tachibana's rejection sparked Ono's career in demonic charm, and they both demonstrate a curiosity about each other's partners and sex lives, even when they've both insisted that nothing is going to happen between them. Both of them have specific traumas that shape their beliefs around relationships, like the way Tachibana is simultaneously sensitive to/defensive of queerness, and also fearful of it, because he assumes that his missing memories from when he was kidnapped were of being molested - I think it's so interesting to see those preconceptions clash, and erode, as they get to know each other better. (I have no particular preference for how you handle Ono and Chikage's canon relationship - stick with canon, break them up, AU where it's strictly platonic; anything's good.)
That said, I'm perfectly happy for Ono and Tachibana not to end up as a romantic couple in the end - a one-night stand that they both agree afterwards is a bad idea, a transactional or experimental encounter, or fantasizing about someone else / using the other person as a stand-in are all scenarios I'd be delighted with. But love and romance are great too, if that's what calls to you!
For gen, I'm most excited about slice-of-life and/or character study, similar to the manga. Kanda, Chikage, Kaedeko, and assorted Tachibana or Ono family members are all welcome! Some fun starting points might be Ono trying to forge a relationship with Kaedeko, since he's staying on at Antique and she's part of Chikage and Tachibana's lives; Kanda's continuing development as a patissier and struggles to make desserts that are cute, not just tasty; or Tachibana coming up with new advertising/promo ideas.
Prompts
Fake dating: Ono wants to prove to his family that he's a respectable, wholesome gay man, and brings Tachibana to his little sister's wedding as his long-term partner.

Anything involving sexual favours for work-related things! Ono wants a raise and Tachibana offers sex instead, or Ono wants time off at an inconvenient time and bribes Tachibana to grant it.

Tachibana deciding that Ono needs someone who's kind to him, after seeing how Jean-Baptiste treats him, and embarking on a gentle courtship -- at first just to show Ono how it should be done, and then because Tachibana realizes he actually does want Ono to pick him.

Tachibana gets some kind of bad news and goes on a bit of a bender, which involves getting drunk at a gay bar and Ono rescuing him.
NSFW likes are in my letter Opt-ins / common DNWs that I enjoy: infidelity / cheating; bittersweet, ambiguous, or unresolved endings; Ono being uncomfortable around women/mildly sexist, in line with canon

This is such a sweet show with a quiet, thoughtful atmosphere and loads of excellent women characters. I love the respect for marine life, everyone in the cast being passionate about what they do and the ways they express that, and the themes of growing and changing when forces larger than you can control are shifting the ground beneath your feet.
This is one of my top fandoms for F/F ships - there are just so many great women in this show, whose relationships with each other have real depth. I'd love to see any pairing going from friends/colleagues to a couple. You’re very welcome to bring in un-nominated characters, for shipping purposes or to fill out the background cast, and I'm happy with anything from cute dating to PWP.
For gen, anything focused on marine life and working at an aquarium is very welcome! Any canon-typical plot involving Fish Facts will be greatly enjoyed.
Ships + prompts
Karin/Marina: I like the dynamic of 'busy careerwoman who takes her job seriously, unwinding by having fun with a cute younger women'. I feel like Marina probably gets misunderstood a lot, since she’s operating in her second language and in a foreign culture - maybe she keeps trying to flirt, but Karin just thinks she’s being friendly? Or Karin tries to flirt, more subtlely, and Marina doesn’t notice. Maybe they hook up at the office year-end party! Loads of options.
Kaoru/Kuuya: I would be so delighted by some kind of butch/twink genderfuckery with these two! I love the idea of Kuuya struggling with his sexuality after his experience in highschool, and being attracted to Kaoru because she's somewhere between genders - and I don’t have a preference for what Kuuya’s orientation ultimately is, I can see any option working (or leave it ambiguous!). Fun potential for Kuuya getting drunk and vulnerable. :3

DNWs: Omegaverse, 1st person POV, nominated characters being parents, different setting AU (e.g. coffeeshop, superheroes, royalty, in space)
This is such a weird, fascinating show that packed so many surprises into 12 episodes. Many of the mysteries get revealed, but I feel like we only scratch the surface of the history Kudou and Guen have with each other, and I’d love to see more of that. How did each of them end up in Kowloon? Did they know each other before that, or did they meet there, and how? Did they ever have some kind of fling? (I think it would be really fun if they had some kind of ill-advised fling)
If you opt for the shippy choice, I’m open to any take at all on this! Kudou is the kind of character I love to see grappling with unwanted gay feelings, and Guen seems he’s not above being pushy if he thinks he can get away with it. If you opt for smut, I would be especially excited about dubcon with one or both being drunk; cheating on their canon partners; or one or both canon partners joining them. Cute fluff is also welcome, but I do love the weird, unsettling atmosphere of the canon where it's clear something is deeply wrong.

Treats are enabled and welcome!
DNWs: Different setting AU (e.g. coffeeshop, superheroes, royalty, in space), omegaverse, 1st person POV, nominated characters being parents
I'm always weak to a party of adventurers, and these ones stole my heart. Everyone brings something unique to the game, and I love that each of them has a different challenge they're grappling with that unfolds over their story. There's so much depth and complexity to everyone's motivations and experiences - lots to explore. I'd be into a post-canon setting after the main storylines are complete; a casefic/questfic similar to a story chapter or a side story; a getting-together story while the travelers are on the road adventuring; or smut/PWP.
Character exceptions: Feel free to leave out either Olberic or Cyrus, because…
…My two fave ships for Octopath are Olberic/Alfyn and Cyrus/Alfyn. :3 Olberic and Alfyn both have a strong thread of honour, duty, and protecting people, and I feel there's so much common ground for them to explore (also: tough manly guys being romantic, my heart). On the other hand, I love that Cyrus and Alfyn share a path action of getting information, and the contrast of the different ways they go about it - Alfyn's friendly gossiping versus Cyrus barraging people with questions.
You're also welcome to merge them into an OT3 - I'm a huge multishipper and polyshipper for Octopath, and I especially love a V-shaped polycule, where two people are dating the same person. Feel free to bring in any of the other travelers as supporting characters, too; H'aanit, Primrose, and Ophilia are particular faves. I’m happy for them to be in background ships with each other or with an unshipped nominated character. (Just in case it comes up, I prefer at least some queer ships, rather than all F/M - a story with an M/M(/M) main pairing and F/F and F/M side pairings would be absolutely wonderful, for instance.)
For gen, I'd prefer the possibility of a relationship between Alfyn and either Olberic or Cyrus to not be completely ruled out; let me dream! Pre-relationship or slowly developing interest, where we can see the foundations of something more being laid, are very welcome. Anything in line with the usual character banter, where they’re warmly friendly and caring towards each other, would be great.
Olberic/Alfyn: I'm such a huge fan of two manly guys being into each other, especially if they're both a little graceless when it comes to love and courtship. Maybe during battle, Olberic blocks a blow meant for Alfyn, and Alfyn uses his gratitude as an excuse to approach Olberic? Or maybe Alfyn starts flirting and gets less and less subtle when Olberic acts oblivious, until Olberic finally has to give him an answer. One of them getting flustered by Alfyn putting his hands all over Olberic while he’s tending to injuries would be delightful.
Cyrus/Alfyn: I'd love the two of them getting closer and learning from each other (my research methods nerd side is delighted by the contrasting qualitative-quantitative approaches). I also have a huge soft spot for Cyrus coming to trust Alfyn enough that he goes to Alfyn with his questions about sex and relationships - and maybe Alfyn trusts him enough in return to offer to demonstrate. Or, for something silly and ridiculous, Cyrus volunteering to be a test subject for aphrodisiac potions would be so much fun. I can also see him wanting to experience extreme herbal sensations - e.g. mint, ginger, nettles, chili oil.
Optional opt-ins/happy to receive: Infidelity/cheating; relationships where A is being used as a stand-in for the person B really wants but can't have (Erhardt? Zeph?? Some really delicious possibilities); unhappy or bittersweet ending

DNWs: Canon divergence, omegaverse, 1st person POV, Jun and Keema permanently breaking up (temporary fight/breakup is okay), permanent death of nominated characters
I fell in love with this book so hard; it’s lovely, lush prose that builds such a vivid story with powerful, driving themes. And I absolutely lost it over Jun and Keema’s tender, rough-edged, slowly kindling romance; it was done so beautifully and all I want for them is an eternal happy ending.
For G- or T-rated fic, I’m happy with their relationship being in the background - what is it like for them to be together, after the lives they’ve led so far? What are their plans for the future, now that they’re suddenly able to choose? Does Jun reach a point of feeling like he’s atoned for the harm he and his family caused?
I would also be very happy with a PWP! They have so much to learn about each other, and they’re not the best at talking about things, so any kind of sexual discovery or experimentation would be a lot of fun. Even better if it’s awkward and doesn’t go smoothly! I love a young, deeply in love couple fumbling their way into pleasure :3

CLAIMED - PH #95: My Fair Lady (1964), The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald, Political RPF - US 19th c., Peppa Pig (Cartoon)

Request 1 by cleanupcalifornia
My Fair Lady (1964)
Characters: Henry Higgins (MFL 1964), Hugh Pickering (MFL 1964)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I love Henry x Pick so unfathomably much. They make me so happy… literally absolutely anything involving them would make me go crazy.
I really like fics where they both basically take over as Eliza’s Good-Cop-Bad-Cop Dads, so anything about that’s an option. I’d also love to see fic involving Mrs. Higgins, whether it’s her talking to Pick over tea about his interest in Henry, or Henry going
DNW Henry x Eliza (nothing personal, I just like my guys!), but Eliza as a character is welcome and VERY ENCOURAGED! If you find a way to also include Eliza/Freddy, I think I will actually cry and scream and shake and give you my firstborn child).
I also love treats!

No letter

Request 2 by cleanupcalifornia
The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Characters: Nick Carraway, Tom Buchanan
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

My friend is the world’s strongest Tick (Tom x Nick) soldier and they have dragged me into their niche shipping hell. Now I am making it everyone else’s problem.
In terms of personal suggestions… I’m sure one is inclined towards a character study, which I’d never reject, but personally I would love a silly modern AU. Something feelgood and unserious, almost crack-y, like both of them getting into modern day internet discourse or getting drunk at a frat party together. This is really niche, but I drew Tom & Nick as House & Wilson one time, and I’d particularly adore that. Bonus points if you can cram Jordaisy in somehow!
DNW anything above an M, or Natsby unless it’s as a means to an end. I’d like for Tom/Nick to be endgame!
I also love treats!

No letter

Request 3 by cleanupcalifornia
Political RPF - US 19th c.
Characters: Grover Cleveland (Political RPF US 19th c.)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I would love a silly Gen fic about Grover Cleveland discovering groverclevelandartsociety (instagram). Really, anything silly would make me very happy.
You can include Frances, but DNW anything sexual/groomy in nature between them.
I also love treats!

No letter

Request 4 by cleanupcalifornia
Peppa Pig (Cartoon)
Characters: Daddy Pig (Peppa Pig), Mummy Pig (Peppa Pig)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Would particularly love a fanfic inspired by literallyneongas (instagram)’s comic, The Divorce… I think there’s is a lot of potential old woman yuri (or old man yaoi?) to be had.
I’m a particular fan of Mummy Pig x Mummy Rabbit, or Mummy Pig x Madame Gazelle, but I’ll honestly leave it to your jurisdiction. The more serious you take it, the better.
I also love treats!

CLAIMED - PH #96: Cynster Family Saga - Stephanie Laurens, Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, CU Hockey Series - Eden Finley & Saxon James, Sagnet om Lysets rike | The Legend of the Realm of Light - Margit Sandemo, Crash Test - Amy James

Request 1 by Hildigunnur
Cynster Family Saga - Stephanie Laurens
Characters: Sebastian Cynster, Michael Cynster, Louisa Cynster
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Prompt: I want some good explanation for Louisa being known as Lady Wild and how much exactly she has been privy to her brothers' business before the events of the Devil's Brood trilogy. She's obviously been a grande dame in the making since she was a teething baby on her father's lap. So I guess there are many reasons for the moniker. Alternatively, I’d like something about the siblings after they are all married and settled, could be a simple family gathering or assisting Drake with one of his missions.
DNW: blood play, hard kinks, non-con, heavy angst.

Letter:

Request 2 by Hildigunnur
Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
Characters: Ilya Rozanov, Shane Hollander, Troy Barrett, Harris Drover
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Prompt: I'd love some post-canon stuff with either or both parings. It can be a Centaurs game, it can be a party, them on vacation, whatever. Feel free to sap it up with romance and fluff 'cause these boys do deserve some nice happy goodness.
DNW: blood play, hard kinks, non-con, heavy angst.

CU Hockey Series - Eden Finley & Saxon James
Characters: Asher Dalton, Westly Dalton
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Prompt: Bring on the Dalton family shenanigans. I like the dynamic of them two as brothers, especially in relation with their younger siblings. Like how did they deal with Emmett and Bennett being queer? How well does Asher manage to keep in touch with his family when he's playing professional hockey? Alternatively, it could be something about Asher and Westly while Westly was still playing in NHL and Asher was going for the draft.
DNW: blood play, hard kinks, non-con, heavy angst.

Sagnet om Lysets rike | The Legend of the Realm of Light - Margit Sandemo
Characters: Marco av Isfolket (Legend of the Realm of Light), Dolg (Legend of the Realm of Light)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Prompt: What if Dolg and Marco were in a relationship (like Henrich Reuss probably fantasized about)? I do acknowledge that for the most part they are portrayed as being asexual. That‘s actually something that would be interesting to see explored within the context of a romantic relationship. Alternatively, I just like something from their point of view. It can be either one or both and it can just be about something mundane or any event in the books that would be interesting to get their take on.
DNW: blood play, hard kinks, non-con, heavy angst.

Crash Test - Amy James
Characters: Travis Keeping, Jacob Nichols
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Prompt: I want them being happy together post-canon. It can be a slice of life, them at a race, them old in a nursing home. What is important that Travis and Jacob are happy togther. Alternatively I could go for some pre-crash cuteness as well.
DNW: blood play, hard kinks, non-con, heavy angst.

CLAIMED - PH #81: Hallo itt Mátyás király! - Bogáti Péter, Mátyás a sosem volt királyfi (TV 2006), Mátyás király | Matthias Rex - Kubinyi András

Request 1 by redgear
Hallo itt Mátyás király! - Bogáti Péter
Characters: Hollós Gyula (Hallo itt Mátyás király)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Do Not Want:
- Permanent death of requested characters (Temporary character death like undeath, time loops, time travel, immortality, etc is welcome, as is death in a bad end of cyoa/interactive fiction that isn't implied to be the true end)
- Setting Change AU (everyone has always been baristas, omegaverse, modern AU, etc)
- Unrequested gender identity hcs, neurodivergent hcs, or genderswaps
- Characters going to therapy, anachronistic therapyspeak
- Completely bad/unhappy/hopeless ending (hopeful/bittersweet is welcome)
- Ageplay (time travel to younger self is fine, amnesia is fine)
- Kink negotiations, safewords, color checks.
- Heroic portrayal of Ladislaus the Posthumous or Ulrich of Celje; also, either of those two shipped with anyone
- AUs where a Hunyadi explicitly does not/will not ever become king (any Hunyadi is fine, and works set before such a thing might happen are also fine)
- Time travel being just a game. (Works set entirely before any time travel occurs are fine!)
---
I love everything about Gyula - I'd love to hear the story of where and how he learned any of the things he knows, including whatever digs he was on with Károly where he learned so much about the Iazyges! I'm also obsessed by how much he wants to just get shit done and how dedicated he is to changing things, even when Károly and the Professor try to talk him down, even when all the rest of them accept life as it is, he just never gives up. I'd love him to be narratively allowed to do the industrial revolution he dreams of :3 Maybe they all (or Gyula alone) time travels to earlier in history, when Mátyás was less constrained by war and necessity and had more time to deal with them? Of course Gyula alone would have difficulties of his own, since he's not exactly a historian, but he'd put his head down and get on with it I'm sure :D
I will happily ship Gyula with anyone and everyone, including OCs <3

Mátyás a sosem volt királyfi (TV 2006)
Characters: Hunyadi László (Mátyás a sosem volt királyfi)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Do Not Want:
- Permanent death of requested characters (Temporary character death like undeath, time loops, time travel, immortality, etc is welcome, as is death in a bad end of cyoa/interactive fiction that isn't implied to be the true end)
- Setting Change AU (everyone has always been baristas, omegaverse, modern AU, etc)

- AUs where a Hunyadi explicitly does not/will not ever become king (any Hunyadi is fine, and works set before such a thing might happen are also fine)
- Mátyás or Erzsébet death
---
I love this version of László - how his grief turns to anger turns to menace so fast when he's dealing with Ulrich and Ladislaus, how passionate he is with Maria, and how sweet he is with Matthias, coaxing him on that of course he'll find some girl who likes him someday :D He contains multitudes! I completely adore how he's so capable, and yet there's still that streak of impulsive overconfidence and that trust that leads him to disaster.
I'd love anything more about him - precanon fic with his parents? More about his relationship with Maria, or his relationship with Matthias? Or AU where he doesn't die (permanently) is also very welcome! Maybe he's imprisoned or banished (I always love a gay-marriage-disinheritance-AU)? I also love ghosts and other supernatural ways for people to not perma-die, as well as time travel! If you're continuing past the point where he dies, feel free to either follow the continuity of the series or go as divergent-AU as you'd like.
I will happily ship László with anyone except King Ladislaus or Ulrich and gen is of course always welcome.
I'm also very fond of the messenger that comes to tell Erzsébet that Ulrich is dead, that poor guy lol. I'd love to know more about him if you'd like to include him. Maybe he was with János and László for a long time? :D

Mátyás király | Matthias Rex - Kubinyi András
Characters: I. Mátyás magyar király | Matthias I of Hungary (Matthias Rex - Kubinyi)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Do Not Want:
- Permanent death of requested characters (Temporary character death like undeath, time loops, time travel, immortality, etc is welcome, as is death in a bad end of cyoa/interactive fiction that isn't implied to be the true end)
- Setting Change AU (everyone has always been baristas, omegaverse, modern AU, etc)

- AUs where a Hunyadi explicitly does not/will not ever become king (any Hunyadi is fine, and works set before such a thing might happen are also fine)
- Time travel being just a game. (Works set entirely before any time travel occurs are fine!)
- Romantic love between Matthias and Beatrice (a political marriage is very welcome, I adore scheming and political maneuvering on both sides!)
---
There are so many just narratively fascinating stories in this bio that I'd love fic about! Tell me more about Matthias doing his own army's recon, getting captured, and talking himself out of it by pretending to be a local groom! Or what it was like for those months trapped alone in Prague after Ladislaus died, not knowing what was going to happen to him. Or struggling with Mihály for control of the government, or deciding he couldn't risk war with the Ottomans and had to imprison Vlad, or finding out just in time about any of the plots against him... I love terrible things happening to him and him coming back from them stronger, colder, more resilient <3
I'm also very interested though in more slice of life stuff: tell me about a day in the life of the roman military history nerd, the renaissance art superfan, the soldier, the diplomat, the propagandist, the guy who fell in love at first sight at a dance. I am really into the speculations Kubinyi makes about his personality/motivations throughout all these!
And I always love time travel, any variety of it, from historical characters going to the future, people from the future coming back, or people time traveling back to their younger selves.
I'll ship Matthias with anyone who isn't DNWed; ocs are welcome in ship as well as gen fic.r a long time? :D

Characters: Suvirin "Suvi" Kedberiket, Ame (Worlds Beyond Number), Eursulon Toma, Worldbuilding (Worlds Beyond Number: The Wizard the Witch and the Wild One)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

A day in the life of the fox! Scenes from the children's adventure! Futurefic using the Witch class and the Wizard of the Citadel class! And adventure rooted in D&D knowledge! More of the wonderful, magical world! Anything exploring the trio's friendships in any combination.

Astreiant Series - Melissa Scott & Lisa A. Barnett
Characters: Nicolas Rathe, Philip Eslingen
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Likes: Canon compliant for these particular fandoms, mutual pining, character studies, pining while fucking, banter, exploration of magic systems getting together, angst with a happy ending.

Characters: Hunch Curio (Campaign 17: Mentopolis), The Fix (Campaign 17: Mentopolis)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Mentopolis was one of my all time favorite seasons of D20! I loved how the worldbuilding wove all the brain structures in there with the mystery, and I loved the glimpses of what happens in the outside world as the characters react.
I would love: In-universe casefic. More of Imelda Pulse. A cameo by Dan Fucks! Maybe The Big Guy goes on a date? I would also love the story of the REAL Stacy Fakename
Do Not Want: Anything darker in tone than canon, unhappy endings.

Hades II (Video Game)
Characters: Melinoë (Hades II Video Game), Nemesis (Hades II Video Game)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

My ideal fic would be explicit, antagonistic Mel/Nem hot springs action, but if you aren't comfotable with that, that's ok! I'd also like Nemesis POV on Melinoe and their developing relationship, as well as fun Mel/Zag sibling banter.
Want: Heat and humor, fun with the canon
Do not want: Any modern day or other setting AU, unhappy endings

CLAIMED - PH #83: The Southern Reach Trilogy - Jeff Vandermeer, Blackwell Series (Video Games), The Sopranos (TV), Twin Peaks (TV 1990)

This pinch hit has now been claimed, but you are welcome to write a treat!

Request 1 by XenomorphLiebe
The Southern Reach Trilogy - Jeff Vandermeer
Characters: Control | John Rodriguez, Whitby Allen
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I would love a fic about Control and Whitby (see my letter for more details). Their relationship is so ??? I love how Control is all "what a weirdo" at Whitby while literally insisting everyone call him "Control." They have a weird affinity for each other: Whitby wanted to show the mural to Control on his first day (why?), and Control is too empathetic to not feel something akin to pity for Whitby, even as he's totally creeped out by Whitby's ~*~everything~*~
Prompts:
- AU where John fails to escape Area X in time when it expands in Authority.
- Retelling of Authority (maybe *that* scene) from Whitby's perspective.
- Somehow, bunny!John survives and stumbles across Whitby. This would be great for exploring the post-series world and the perspective of humans that have turned into animals.
I accept treats.

Blackwell Series (Video Games)
Characters: Joey Mallone, Rosangela Blackwell
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

The Blackwell Epiphany has the honour of being the only video game that has ever made me cry. I love everything about Blackwell: the art, the humour, the character writing, the clever puzzles, the voice acting. And the core of it all is Joey and Rosa's relationship. They're literally stuck with each other, but you can feel the devotion and care and familiarity that they share. My heart is so full of love for them. I don't really ship them, but I don't have strong feelings either way.
I don't have any specific prompts for Blackwell, but I'd love to see a case fic set some time between Legacy and Epiphany. Or, a day in the life of Rosa and Joey would be great. I've played all the WadgetEye releases in the same universe (The Shivah, Unavowed, Old Skies), so a crossover between any of these and Blackwell would be very appreciated.
I accept treats.

The Sopranos (TV)
Characters: Tony Soprano, Christopher Moltisanti
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I don't know where to start. I am obsessed with Chris and Tony's relationship. I have written thousands upon thousands of words in my notes app about these two. They are the absolute fucking worst. I can't stop posting about them (see my letter for links). I have so many thoughts, I could write a book about Chris and Tony.
First off, I absolutely ship Chris/Tony, so any Chris/Tony fic is very, very welcome. But I'd love literally anything about their fucked up relationship, especially pre-series fic. There is so much love there, but it's a possessive, insecure love, which in C. S. Lewis's terms, transforms into a "natural hate." Tony cannot stand the idea of Chris leaving him, and he'd rather see Chris dead than gone from him. It takes the slightest thing for Tony to feel rejected, and then he lashes out. And Chris is so... he's so desperate for Tony's love, even at his own expense. And he's so insecure in his relationship with Tony. Even at the start of the series, he's quick to believe that Tony wants him dead. They are both so psycho about each other, and I need a fic about them stat.
I'm totally here for series typical realism, but I'd love to see crazy, out there mash-ups (Arthurian/fairytale retellings, anyone?) and supernatural stories (in the vein of Macbeth, for instance). Spooky Sopranos is best Sopranos.

Twin Peaks (TV 1990)
Characters: Dale Cooper (Twin Peaks), Albert Rosenfield
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Twin Peaks is a strange, magical series that can be best labelled "cozy horror." I'm pretty certain that this year will be the last that it qualifies for Yuletide, so I thought it best to request it. Twin Peaks is a series I love for its gorgeous Pacific North West setting, for its horror elements, for the mystery angle, and for its complex characters, such as Audrey, Laura, and Albert.
I love Albert. I love how clear-sighted Albert is about the Laura's death, and I love his speech about pacifism. I like how Albert provides the "bitter" to Cooper's "sweet." Despite their differences, Cooper and Albert's relationship is built on an obvious mutual respect. I do ship Dale/Albert, but I'd be happy with a story about their platonic relationship.
I don't have specific prompts, but I'd love any kind of case fic featuring these two (pre-series, or maybe post-series with possessed!Coop). I also welcome crossovers with this fandom, especially crossovers with my other requested fandoms. (I will give my firstborn child to whoever writes a Blackwell-verse and Twin Peaks crossover). Or, some kind of fairytale retelling featuring these two (I'm thinking Tam Lin---instead of the Faerie Queen, Albert must face BOB to rescue Dale).

Canon link: Youtube
Request details/Prompts:
I adore Luo Fei - he's quick and smart; he's sometimes sweet, sometimes abrasive; he can be a total mess (particularly regarding Captain). And Huo Wensi's calm cleverness and amused reaction to Luo Fei intrigued me from the start, but what particularly hit me was seeing him being beaten up in a prison courtyard while the look on his face said he was exactly where he'd planned to be. Together, the two of them absolutely fascinate me.
Dr Huo brings out very intriguing reactions in Luo Fei. Luo Fei is prickly and rude towards him without apparent reason, right from the start. He distances himself during their interactions, standing or sitting off to the side, looking away, or walking right out. He claims not to believe in psychology, but at the same time repeatedly puts considerable stock in Dr Huo's professional opinion, even after Dr Huo is in prison. Luo Fei wants nothing to do with Dr Huo - but doesn't turn him down when Dr Huo asks him to help him court Xiaoman. And when Luo Fei desperately wants someone to confirm his theory that Captain is faking, he appeals to Dr Huo. Their dynamic doesn't change even after Dr Huo is arrested. I'm very into the tangle of intense emotion/frustration/(dis)trust/obsession/intellectual appreciation between them, love and desire included if you want, and I'd love anything that plays on it or explores where it's coming from, whether it's slash or gen. Anything that involves them having lots of tension, and/or resolving that tension - and regardless of how it goes, some genuine connection - would be great. Plot or PWP or character exploration, it's all good!
Some ideas: A missing case or a moment from one where they're are forced to work more closely together? I also love the parallels between them, right down to them solving cases from the same clues, and would love something that leaned into that. Or what's Dr Huo's take on Luo Fei's behaviour towards him, as a psychologist? Do they have backstory that explains Luo Fei's attitude? Were they lovers once? A bad breakup could explain a lot! How about a missing scene where they have a relapse? Maybe Dr Huo manipulates Luo Fei into it, or maybe he's carried away himself. (Maybe both.) Or something about Dr Huo's role as a psychologist, in a case that has nothing to do with his extracurricular affairs. I'd also love to see them dancing - literally or metaphorically.
At the end of the show, Luo Fei is certain he has outwitted Dr Huo. Has Dr Huo lost control of his own plan? When he detonates the bombs, is he choosing suicide as his only way out? (Does he survive despite that?) Or is Dr Huo that good an actor, and it's still all going according to plan? He has previously demonstrated a willingness to get himself arrested and beaten up in order to achieve his purposes, after all. And if Captain was faking all this time - what if they end up working together against the real Captain after the bridge, despite everything? Or what about an alternate ending where things go differently after Dr Huo's escape from prison? Or some post-canon cat-and-mouse push-and-pull between them would be fantastic. Something twisty and evil on Dr Huo's part that's directed at Luo Fei is also welcome, so long as it doesn't end entirely unhappily for either character. Likewise, redemption for Dr Huo would be great, but them remaining on opposite sides is also good, so long as there's some genuine mutual connection there.
Also, in most of their scenes, Qin Xiaoman is stuck right in the middle of it all, talking to Dr Huo when Luo Fei won't, and being almost-courted by Dr Huo. She trusts his good intentions, for the most part, but doesn't always accept his conclusions. I'd love to see her perspective, or how her inclusion might affect any of the scenarios Luo Fei and Huo Wensi might find themselves in.

Fandom-specific DNWs: Kashtiliash and Kathryn breaking up.
Request details/Prompts:
Ever since I discovered these books back in 2010, I've been fascinated with the culture clash in the trilogy - between people from the present and people from the Bronze age (historical or original), and later also between second-generation Nantucketers and everyone else. But what especially caught my imagination was the experience of the "downtimers" whose world and culture are changing right around them, and who are adapting to this new world.
Kashtiliash, as an actual historical figure whose history is radically changed by the arrival of people from the future, is right at the heart of it all - and as prince and then king, he's one of the people in a position to shape these changes. Raupasha is propelled into the centre of events in a different way when the changed history puts her in position to make a significant difference for her own life, for her people, and for Kashtiliash, whose enemy Tukulti-Ninurta she kills and whose father she saves. I would love a story that has these two interacting!
Kashtiliash is smart and adaptable and open to the new, but never to the point of forgetting the realities of the situation - the problems caused by the changes as much as the good. He sees the inevitability of change, and he's quick to adapt where necessary, but he's also very aware of the imbalance of power between his people and the Nantukhtar, and determined not to let them take too much control from him. I'd love to see more of him navigating all this. For Raupasha and her people, on the other hand, the Nantukhtar and Kenneth Hollard in particular are saviours, opening up an entire world of possibilities as she learns to navigate both the political situation and the strange context of conflicting cultures she finds herself in. Between her feelings for Kenneth and her drive to improve her people's situation, her missteps and successes, she grows into someone capable of having significant impact on the future of their world. I would love to see more of her growth.
Both Kashtiliash and Raupasha end up in a relationship with someone from Nantucket, and with siblings at that. I'd love to see anything about the culture clash in those relationships, perhaps a time when their different cultural context puts extreme strains on them. Or perhaps they find support in each other for the kinds of things that neither can truly talk about to outsiders? Anything that involves these two dealing with the balancing act between old and new would be great.
I'd also love something about Kashtiliash's views on women changing, not just through Kathryn Hollard in particular and the Nantukhtar in general, but also through Raupasha. Or something about politics regarding Mitanni, and Raupasha taking an active role in the planning. What if she had become queen of Mitanni after all? Or what happens to the alliance between Babylon and Nantucket once there's no longer a clear common enemy? What if Babylon's relationship with Nantucket becomes soured at some point? Or would post-series Raupasha, even if she can't be queen, really turn her back on her people and leave? What could she do instead? What if her ideas don't fit with Kenneth's? Or what if Kashtiliash has plans for her that don't agree with Kenneth's - how would Raupasha handle being caught in the middle?
Or for something more experimental, maybe a history written in the future of this 'verse, examining Kashtiliash's and Raupasha's roles and impact?

Ring of Swords - Eleanor Arnason
Characters: Ettin Gwarha, Sanders Nicholas
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

General DNWs: permanent death of requested characters; partner betrayal; unrequested pairings for requested characters (except for Nicky with other hwarhath); humiliation; noncon; woobification; mundane/modern AUs and other unrequested changes to the canon setting or premise; unrequited pining; fake dating; soulmates (except in the zhiji sense); omegaverse; mpreg; immortals becoming mortal/nonhuman characters becoming human; unmitigated fluff where all the characters' problems don't exist; permanent separation of requested ships; unhappy endings; first or second person narration (except for imitating the canon voice with Nicky's diary, or for unusual media such as other in-universe documents).
Request details/Prompts:
When I discovered this book in December 2011, it completely swept me away. I love so many things about it, from the clashing gender dynamics to the canonical m/m, from the truly alien hwarhath culture to the possibly-but-probably-not intelligent alien sea creatures Anna studies, from the Shakespeare (Mats's version of Macbeth!) to Nicky's journal and Gwarha's glosses. Most of all I'm fascinated with the culture clash between the humans and the hwarhath, and in particular Nicky's history among them, from being captured 20 years ago to the end of the book and beyond, and how much of it is bound up with Gwarha in particular. So I'm requesting Sanders Nicholas (to use the hwarhath name order), and Ettin Gwarha, and would love any story that gives me these two at any point during their timeline.
Nicky is particularly dear to my heart. He's one of those characters with a rare lack of ego. I often say that my preference is for the control freaks, but that's only because the other type of character I love every bit as much is so vanishingly rare. That's the kind of person whose main trait is adaptability and lack of pridefulness - the kind who can give in, mould themselves around circumstances, pragmatically do whatever needs to be done without letting pride get in the way, but also without being diminished by it or losing their grounding within themselves. Nicky the liar, who twists himself around circumstances and always, always tries to find the right angle, can be every bit as subtle and scheming as other Machiavellian characters I've loved, and he has sarcasm to spare, but if he were a control freak he'd never have survived. And I adore that Gwarha, despite his cultural conditioning and almost despite himself, has come to love and appreciate the twistier traits in Nicky.
I would adore a story that showed some part of how these two arrived at that point, or during the book, or where they go after. Anything about their history together - from Gwarha watching Nicky being tortured, and being the one to tell Nicky it's over, to their established relationship at the beginning of the book, during the events we see, and after. How did they go from first encountering each other under those circumstances to becoming lovers? How did their relationship develop? How does Nick learn to navigate the gender-segregated hwarhath society? (Gwarha POV on this might be cool.) Or a slice-of-life story somewhere during the pre-book or post-book years together? Nicky's first encounter with Gwarha's aunts? Or anything about the two of them learning to understand each other, and each other's background, better. Or more about the inherent inequalities in their relationship, and how they navigate those in public vs. in private. Or something during the negotiations shown in the book? And I'm very curious about their first meeting after Nicky returns to Gwarha toward the end of the book, which the book tragically skipped. I always wanted to see that scene! Where do they go from there? Or more from Nicky's journal, with Gwarha commenting on it? Just something about those two, please. :)
(Also, I'm generally not fond of alien species whose entire civilisation is organised according to cultural clichés of violence as a masculine trait, but I like how the book deconstructs it for the hwarhath at least inside the masculine sphere, and would definitely be interested if you wanted to include some deconstruction for the female sphere as well, so far as that's possible in a story focusing on male characters.)
For more of my general thoughts on the book, this excellent article is spot on in my opinion.

Starfire Series - Various Authors
Characters: Zhaarnak'diaano | Zhaarnak'telmasa, Raymond Prescott
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

General DNWs: permanent death of requested characters; partner betrayal; unrequested pairings for requested characters; humiliation; noncon; woobification; mundane/modern AUs and other unrequested changes to the canon setting or premise; unrequited pining; fake dating; soulmates (except in the zhiji sense); omegaverse; mpreg; immortals becoming mortal/nonhuman characters becoming human; unmitigated fluff where all the characters' problems don't exist; permanent separation of requested ships; unhappy endings; first or second person narration (except for unusual media such as in-universe documents).
Request details/Prompts:
I love space battles and military SF, but in the Starfire 'verse I'm most fascinated by the relationship between Terrans and Orions in general (the whole enemies-turned-allies aspect is right up my alley), and between Zhaarnak'telmasa (or Zhaarnak'diaano, early on) and Raymond Prescott in particular. (I really love Crusade, In Death Ground and The Shiva Option, but I'm not that fond of the later Starfire books, and I'd appreciate it if we could set them aside. Since I'm only requesting characters from IDG/TSO, that shouldn't be a problem.)
I love unlikely pairs like Zhaarnak and Prescott, and I love the way their interactions develop, from their early uneasy cooperation to the vilkshatha brothers whose closeness is palpable on the page. I love the way they balance and mirror each other - even in an inherently hierarchical context, they constantly switch roles and manage to make a rotating command structure work for them. And the same in other respects - for example, it's generally Zhaarnak who pushes both of them to rush into danger, with Prescott the voice of caution, except when Prescott starts to push, and then Zhaarnak starts playing the voice of caution. I couldn't say which of them I loved more right from the start - Zhaarnak the prideful bigot who overcomes his bigotry because he doesn't let his prejudices blind him to what's happening right in front of his face, or Prescott the lover of Orion culture who can, without any resentment, decide to accept Zhaarnak's command because it's the most practical thing to do. (Prescott actually exemplifies one of my favourite character types - I generally say that my preference is for the control freaks, but that's only because the other type of character I love every bit as much is so vanishingly rare. That's the kind of person whose main trait is adaptability and lack of pridefulness - the kind who can mould themselves around circumstances, do whatever needs to be done without letting pride get in the way, but also without being diminished by it or losing their grounding within themselves.)
Anything with these two interacting would make me happy. A missing scene from any point in their relationship, futurefic, or a canon divergence AU; gen or slash - it's all good. A few ideas: What is it like, early on, for Prescott to serve under Zhaarnak? Does he ever doubt his decision? And Zhaarnak himself finds out about what Prescott did just before the Bugs attack, but we never get to see the scene where he tells Prescott he knows. How does it go? Or during their years of joint fleet command in Zephrain, how do they make their rotating command structure work? What happens the first time they actually disagree? I'd particularly love to see this while Zhaarnak is in command. Outsider POV on this might be cool - someone expecting a clash of the titans, and not getting it? (Honestly, I'd be here for outsider POV on every aspect of their relationship, and how unusual it is and how obviously it works even when it really shouldn't.) Or the aftermath of Operation Pesthouse - when did Zhaarnak find out about it? How did their first meeting afterwards go? Some h/c might be in order. Or something set post-TSO - what do they do after the war? How do they manage to keep in touch, once they're no longer working closely together? Something about Prescott meeting (and perhaps fitting into) Zhaarnak's family would be delightful. (Is Zhaarnak married? How does his wife or other family react to his changed opinions about Terrans? What about Zhaarnak's father, who we know is a bigot?) So would be anything that delves deeper into Orion culture, and what it means for Prescott to actually become part of it with the vilkshatha oath. When Zhaarnak'diaano becomes Zhaarnak'telmasa, he's establishing a new clan, and Prescott is part of it. What role does he play for other clan members? Or how about an AU - what would have happened if they'd met for the first time under different circumstances? What if they'd met as enemies? Seriously, anything!

Canon link: combined video
(Note: The English subs misspell some of the character names - the princess is 李云贞 Li Yunzhen, not -zheng, and the emperor is 李承临 Li Chenglin, not -ling.)
Request details/Prompts:
This mini-drama crams so much into its short runtime - enough for a full-length drama with all the spy shenanigans (trust, loyalty, betrayal!), the political intrigue and the insanely charged interactions between Li Yunzhen and Gu Xuanqing, the slow development of their relationship. It's an absolute delight. And the condensed format means that everything is distilled down to its most crucial and dramatic moments, which leaves a great deal of space for fic - both expanding on the drama itself, and what might happen afterwards.
Li Yunzhen is brilliant and scheming and kinky, and deceives everyone - I love the complex plan she devises, with everything hinging on her own ability to play her part, and she never falters, pulling it off perfectly all on her own even while falling for the man sent to spy on her. I love how even her own servants never suspect what she's really up to, much less her enemies. And I love Gu Xuanqing gradually realising the princess's public image and her character as he gets to know her don't add up, falling for her while seeing through part of her façade but not nearly all. I love his dedication and loyalty to his duty/the Emperor (he never considers betraying his mission, even while deceiving Li Yunzhen is increasingly weighing on him), but more and more also to the princess (even believing her to be corrupt, he still chooses to return to her and put himself into her hands), and the conflict between those sides, tension and divided loyalties and all. I love the dynamics between them and how they develop, the unapologetic kinkiness of it all. Li Yunzhen so clearly enjoys herself playing/being the dominant seducer - and Gu Xuanqing is entirely unprepared for finding himself actually into it, and wanting to hand himself over to her for real. And the only way he can balance things, at one point, is to keep deceiving her while accepting whatever punishment she hands out ...!
Seriously, I want more of anything and everything - the romance, the BDSM, the spy shenanigans, the loyalty kink, the political intrigue. :D
Some ideas: moments in between the scenes, adding more build-up to the tension or lingering on the fallout of events? Li Yunzhen's thoughts and feelings as she incorporates Gu Xuanqing into her plans, perhaps changing plans as she gets to know him and starts falling for him/trusting him? More of Gu Xuanqing's dilemma, and how he deals with discovering he wants to hand himself over to this apparently corrupt princess? How does she feel about that? All the loyalty issues, questions of trust, punishment tropes, that sort of thing - lean into this stuff and I will be very happy! Or if you'd like to incorporate backstory, maybe something with flashbacks to how Li Yunzhen came up with her plan, how she pulled it all off and built her reputation? Maybe post-canon, she tells Gu Xuanqing about it all? I'm also curious about her and her harem of bodyguards - what has she been doing with them? How did she gain her sexual confidence? What does Gu Xuanqing think about all of that? How do things change after the two of them get together - do they change? I'd also love anything about Li Yunzhen enjoying herself dominating Gu Xuanqing, or maybe her discovering just how much Gu Xuanqing is into it. Porn would be very welcome here. But non-sexual kink would be just as delightful! Or anything these two get up to together, in and out of bed. Post-canon, what do they do long-term? Li Yunzhen says she'll withdraw from court, but I can't imagine her being into a life of leisure, and I'd love to see any scheming she could do for her brother, and what part Gu Xuanqing might play in that.

Canon links: 2019 commercial | 2020 commercial
Request details/Prompts:
I love these commercials. Despite also being a vehicle for an "O NOES NOT THE WRINKLES" product, they're fantastic little mini-films. Back when the first commercial came out in 2019, I immediately fell in love with the character and concept of the Time Engraver> - the mythology, the way he chats at and about his subjects, the way he relates to the world. All the worldbuilding possibilities of what can be done with a concept like that, and a character who could exist anywhere, interact with anyone.
I'd love anything about the Time Engraver and his world, about the people he encounters, about him actually interacting with the world. Something plotty or introspective or romantic, more mythic or more grounded - gen, het, slash, anything would be great. There's fascinating worldbuilding to play with and expand on: Who/what is the Time Engraver? Is he an anthropomorphic personification of time? One of many aspects of such, each with their own workshop? Something else? Does he interact with other supernatural entities? What powers exactly does he have? Why does he present himself as a craftsman? He's talking at his subjects, but has he ever talked to humans directly? Does he sometimes venture out into the human world - can he? What if one of his subjects wakes up, or otherwise finds out about him? What happens if he develops an interest in a mortal? What if he falls in love?
I've always been fascinated by mortal/immortal relationships, romantic or otherwise, so I'd love to see some of that. Whether with someone who's leading an ordinary life, or someone who's already immersed in the non-mundane, either would be equally fascinating. And for something shippy, I would absolutely love the Time Engraver falling in love with a mortal, and vice versa. Tragedy is sort of baked into the concept of this kind of pairing, and I'm all here for a lot of angst, but would very much prefer a hopeful ending. Reincarnation tropes would be awesome for this - I'd love to see the Time Engraver waiting for his lover's reincarnation, or finding them again and again across time.
For relationships, it could be anyone the Time Engraver meets. From the commercials, I have a particular fondness for "Sunny", the woman in the second (2020) commercial who doesn't show emotions, and would love to see more of her, and the role of the Time Engraver in her life. What if she remembers him? He's had a huge effect on her; how does she feel about that? What if she seeks him out? What if she wakes up the next time the Time Engraver brings her into his workshop?
I'd also totally be here for a crossover with various characters played by Bai Yu, if that's of interest of you. (Luo Fei? Jiang Yang? The version from the Pizza Hut commercials? Zhao Yunlan, in a Guardian drama fusion where Shen Wei is the Time Engraver rather than the Black-Cloaked Envoy? I'd love any of these!)
For sex scenes, if applicable I prefer the Time Engraver topping or domming.
I preferred the first commercial's aesthetic, but find the white aesthetic in the second one intriguing. I'd also love an exploration of why his workshop looks so different - minimalist, and more like a museum - in the 2020 commercial. (Which one is earlier in his timeline? I could see it going either way.) And if you'd like to subvert the "O NOES WRINKLES" aspect of the commercial somehow, that would be great too. :)

Fandom-specific DNWs: Simpson and his wife breaking up.
Canon links: 1632 | 1633 | In the Navy
Request details/Prompts:
Yes, I'm (once again) requesting two modern-place-thrown-into-the-past series. *g* But my request here is rather different from the one for the Nantucket trilogy. I'm less interested in the general uptime/downtime clash here, maybe because the 17th century is nowhere near as far from modern day as the Bronze age, and also because I don't feel the series always does so well with actual 17th century mentality.
Instead, there's another aspect that captured my interest. I dithered over this request for a while, because in 1632, John Chandler Simpson is not only an out-and-out villain, but a very unpleasant, all too real one, the kind that has only become less tolerable to me in fiction given real-life political developments over the last decade. But I'm still very much interested in what drew me in the first place, and the theme of even people who were truly awful growing and becoming better.
In the sequel, 1633, Simpson is given much more depth and gets excellent character development, and he becomes fascinating and compelling to me. I'm very interested in the idea of someone turning himself into a villain in the worst way by going all-out with a strict end-justifies-the-means strategy ... only to fail, and then to discover those means weren't actually necessary after all. And then to have to grapple with the awfulness of what he actually did. Now he's living with the consequences, and that's a theme that very much speaks to me. (He's also an introverted control freak, which is a character type I have always loved.) I also enjoy watching competent characters be competent, and unexpected competence is even better - which is possibly why I enjoy Simpson so much in David Weber's short story In the Navy. It also hits another of my buttons, characters defying expectation. (See also: Simpson as a sci-fi fan, which never fails to amuse me.) So I would love a story about Simpson that lets his positive qualities shine without diminishing his faults.
Some ideas: I very much appreciate Simpson's wife, Mary Simpson, who is cut from the same cloth as he and walked that path right into villainy with him in 1632, and like him, now has to deal with the aftermath, and finding a place for herself/themselves in their new circumstances. Their marriage nearly breaks under the strain of it - I'd love to see more about how they get past that. They're a great match, and I'd like to see them interact more - maybe plotting some bit of joint social/political manipulation? Mary helping him navigate society? Or the reconciliation with their son that we never actually got to see in the books. Anything about how to move forward after what they both did, how to do better, how to even begin to try and make up for it in any meaningful sense. I also enjoy Simpson's interactions with Eddie Cantrell very much, so more of that would be great. More Simpson mentoring a reluctant Eddie? Or something about the other people under his command, particularly the Germans, who obviously have every reason to hate his guts, to start with. Or just Simpson by himself, trying to come to terms with what he did, and learning to admit the awfulness of it to himself.

Characters: Elijah "Smoke" Moore, Elias "Stack" Moore, Mary (Sinners 2025), Annie (Sinners 2025)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I've requested my four favorite characters, but I'm really open to basically anything for this fandom; pretty much the only thing I wouldn't want is something that focuses predominantly on any of the white characters (though I don't object to any of them showing up in the same capacity that they do in canon, I just don't want them to be central to the story). But otherwise I'm super flexible! Backstory -- Smoke and Stack growing up with Mary, or their time as soldiers or mobsters? Smoke and Annie's courtship? How Smoke and Stack befriended the Chows? Anything shippy, be it Smoke/Annie or Stack/Mary or twincest or femslash or all four of them together in some messy loving configuration--truly any combination of characters fucking would be grand. Future scenes from Stack and Mary's life between the end of the movie and the mid-credits scene! If you could think of a fun canon-divergent AU premise or even a wholecloth AU that preserves the relevant atmosphere of the canon setting (a tall order, but I'm intrigued by the prospect!), I'm down for it. I'm here for a canon-typical amount of fucked up content, anything explicit, light-hearted moments or heavier introspection -- wherever things lead you, I just want to live in this world for any additional amount of time I'm able.
[My major DNWs are needles (I have a huge phobia and would deeply rather no mention of them at all, but if it does come up, please please please keep it brief and be sure to clearly warn for me!) and significant involvement of serious issues beyond those explored in canon (e.g. racism, homophobia, character death, serious assault/injury, etc. etc.). Basically, let the tone of canon be your guide here -- canon-typical serious issues the characters have already experienced is totally fine, bringing more serious issues into a lighthearted canon would very much not be my jam.]

This is a classic "I want more" canon for me, a show that I'm thrilled we got as much of as we did but that was cancelled way too soon! I've only nominated Nathan and Reagan because they're the heart of the story for me and I do love them best, but I'd honestly be pretty happy with anything here. Give me backstory -- how did Nathan and Reagan first become friends? How did Nathan and Bobbie meet? How about Reagan and Ray's relationship and its breakdown? Give me missing scenes from canon -- explicit sex scenes! Nathan coming home after S1 and Reagan reconciling with and also hiding him! Epistolary Reagan/Josh! Give me WHAT HAPPENS NEXT -- what does Mayor Bobbie look like? Do Nathan and Deirdre work things out? How does the Reagan-Josh-Nelson situation shake out (I have to admit to preferring Josh, but I'm fine with her ending up with either of them! or both! or neither!)? Moments from the lives of any of the other main or minor characters! Canon-divergent AUs! Role reversal AUs -- what would Reagan Rutherford and Nathan Wells look like?? Really, I just want to spend at least a little more time in this universe than canon gave us.

So much lore in such a short space! I welcome absolutely any direction you'd like to go here. Worldbuilding: who is the Dirt Man? Where did he come from (where did he go)? Is he a benevolent trickster or a horrifying abomination? How did this discrepancy in how well he's known come about? How long has he been around? What's the purpose of the dirt and what happens if he takes you down to his lair? The mood can be fairy-tale-y or horror-adjacent (I'd prefer nothing too explicitly horrifying, but am very much here for creepy vibes) or funny or sexy -- maybe being taken by the Dirt Man is a secret fantasy for some people! Feel free to involve some romance -- is the Dirt Man just a jilted ex about whom the guy in the video is making up a story to make him sound way worse than he is? Are the two in the video a couple and one has to rescue the other from the Dirt Man? Truly, there's SO many potential story avenues here and I welcome any combination of them.

I feel like we don't get nearly enough Will on this show -- I know a lot is going on, but he should be way more central! He grew up directly adjacent to Mabel! His dad's relative fame and regular shenanigans should really affect his life! So I would just really, really like more of him, in any capacity. Backstory! Missing scenes of his reactions to what's going on with canon! Any feelings whatsoever about learning that Teddy Dimas is his biological father, which I am desperate to see!! Any interaction with Mabel, which the show is truly crying out for!! Also, I didn't request him because I really predominantly want a focus on Will, but I'm also desperate for any interaction between him and Theo; they also grew up together and they're half brothers! What was their relationship like as kids? As adults? Again, I really just want to see more of a character that I think the show is massively underutilizing!

Okay, WHAT A FREAKING TREAT THIS ARTICLE WAS. I never saw the twist coming!! I am obsessed!! I desperately need to see that threesome actually happen. I'd love to see explicit sex, but would also be fine with seeing the emotional development. Had Ethan and/or Kevin been pining for a while, or did it all just suddenly kind of ... happen? Did they feel attracted to the journalist at first or is he the only one sensing the tension and making it happen? What happens afterward -- do Ethan and Kevin start dating (or does one of them start dating the journalist?!) and they try to pretend the feelings for the third person aren't there? Do they all just try to move on with their lives but can't stop thinking about it? I would just love elaboration on this totally wacky premise and I need a happy ending for these three one way or another!

Frauds (TV 2025)
Characters: Sam (Frauds TV), Bert (Frauds TV)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Happy to receive treats! My non-specific likes are in my letter; my DNWs are here:
I do not want to read: rape; animal abuse or death; illness or caretaking (see Frauds section for caveats); self-harm; kid!fic. I am okay with violence in service to the story; I am okay with canon-typical violence. I'm also not interested in complete AUs (ie, coffee-shop-type AUs). I do enjoy AUs where one thing in canon is changed and we explore the ramifications of it.
I’m not a big fan of the heteronormative assumption that there’s only one way to progress a relationship and anyone in a relationship must necessarily want co-habitation and homeownership and marriage and children. In fact, I’m really not interested in stories about child-rearing at all, though dealing with adult children established in canon can be interesting.
Canon-specific:
I am writing this having only watched the first three eps, sorry! I will add to my letter once I've finished the series but please, don't feel like you have to wait for that. If you have an idea you want to run with go for it. I would love a story about Bert and Sam together or either of them apart, as you wish.
I do NOT want to dwell too deeply on Bert's illness, please - the level we see in the first three eps is fine, but no, say, deep dives into Sam's feelings about it and her fears about how much sicker Bert will get, etc.
I do ship them and would love to read something on that line, but I also ADORE the fucked-up friendship as a friendship, so either is great. (The physicality of them, though... Bert tearing her shirt off, their fight in the pool... IJS, there's something there.)
I would love to read a story about Bert and her time in jail. I'd love to read about the times Sam wanted to visit Bert and didn't. A glorious heist before the one that got Bert caught? Their first big fuckup on a job? Fights they had and ways they made up? Or even something silly and domestic that's also about them showing off to each other. I am deeply a sucker for Kate Fleetwood so if there is a way to include Celine, that would be fun, but obvs no pressure.
I will watch the rest of the eps before reveal, so if you have a post-season story you want to write, go for it.

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Happy to receive treats! My specific likes are in my letter but here are my DNWs:
I do not want to read: rape; animal abuse or death; illness or caretaking (see Frauds section for caveats); self-harm; kid!fic. I am okay with violence in service to the story; I am okay with canon-typical violence. I'm also not interested in complete AUs (ie, coffee-shop-type AUs). I do enjoy AUs where one thing in canon is changed and we explore the ramifications of it.
I’m not a big fan of the heteronormative assumption that there’s only one way to progress a relationship and anyone in a relationship must necessarily want co-habitation and homeownership and marriage and children. In fact, I’m really not interested in stories about child-rearing at all, though dealing with adult children established in canon can be interesting.
Canon-specific:
Unhinged option: Did Debbie and Lou pull the Louvre job? (Or your unsolved theft of choice?) But, okay, really: just tell me about more jobs they pulled together. Whether in the past or after the film, whether just the two of them or with a bigger crew, whether they succeeded or failed. Just more of them, please, and a little crime. I would love them to be gay and do crime but I am fine if the gay is not there as long as the crime is. I am happy to read about other characters from the film as long as Debbie and Lou and their relationship are central.

Canon-specific:
I kind of just want something joyful for any or all of the characters? Please mix and match to your heart's content (including Jess, if you want). I would prefer at least two of them be included, because I really do love how they all build their brilliant tentative flourishing relationships. Somewhat to my surprise, I don't particularly ship any of them, but if you do I would LOVE to be persuaded, except not really by Kitty and Beth. (I do think Kitty deserves to be treated nicely by someone for once, though, redemptively - and I definitely read her as openly queer.)
I would prefer not to have a lot about any of the band's kids or parents. Also if you don't go the femslash route, I would prefer not to focus on a het relationship.
Have you got a subject you think they should write a song about? Tell me about them working on it - night in the pub sharing stories, trying to work out their next topic? How do the rest of them mine their trauma? Album listening party? Another gig - and/or another adrenaline-induced horniness emergency? Another recording session? I don't want something so fluffy it's unbelievable - I think part of the genius of Sally Wainwright is that she is so good at melding the dark and the light - but if we could end on a note of hope, that would be great.

CLAIMED - PH #76: Jaws (1975), One Tree Hill, The White Lotus (TV), Ready or Not (2019)

Request 1 by shortcrust
Jaws (1975)
Characters: Ellen Brody (Jaws 1975), Matt Hooper (Jaws 1975), Martin Brody (Jaws 1975)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I adore the idea of these three together, so I would love either something explicitly poly with a romantic Hooper/Brody/Ellen equilateral triangle, or otherwise whatever exploration of these characters interacting or coexisting that interests you! Perhaps after everything Hooper stays for a while, maybe while the authorities tidy up the legal side of everything, or while he's writing his next paper. Maybe they all get to coexist for a while. I love Ellen and am enamoured of making sure she isn't set aside, and would be interested to see how she deals with supporting her husband through the aftermath of this horrific experience but also how she deals with this other man who was there, who was funny and nice and brought her a bottle of wine, and who has now shared this with her husband in a way she can't imagine. I like to think they could all get through this together (and maybe fall in love about it).

I'd be delighted to receive a treat for this fandom (or any of my requests)!

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

I watched One Tree Hill for the first time this year and was honestly struck by how lovely this relationship was; it starts as a joke, but we see their support and genuine care for one another. If I'm being wistful it honestly feels a little like, had circumstances been different, things might have turned out differently for them, too. I'd love something shippy but I'd really just love to read however you spin it; canon plays out alternatively happy-ending, an AU world where things go differently, or maybe things end as they do on the show but we get to sit in Skills' or Deb's head about it and follow them as they reflect on the relationship. I'd just love to see a spotlight on these two and what their relationship was, or could have been. I'm sorry, Nathan, but I liked it when your mother dated your friend! In fact, I thought it was cute! Deal with it!
I'd be delighted to receive a treat for this fandom (or any of my requests)!

The White Lotus (TV)
Characters: Mia (The White Lotus), Valentina (The White Lotus)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

These two had such an unexpectedly delightful storyline - I thought it was lovely how Mia, though still remaining cheeky and unserious about it, went to bed with Valentina fully intent on making it nice for her - and I've love anything featuring the two of them romantically. Maybe Valentine reflects on how this started transactionally but doesn't need to stay that way, and she has to unpack how she feels about that while also realising that liking someone didn't feel like she thought it would; maybe they become partners in crime, girlbossing the hotel while catching feelings; or maybe they start sleeping together and never really stop until they realise, wait, have we been dating this whole time? I am so glad that the only people who escaped the bad timeline this series was these two lesbians, and I want them to have a happy ending.

Ready or Not (2019)
Characters: Grace Le Domas (Ready or Not (2019)), Daniel Le Domas (Ready or Not (2019))
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I love these two in a romantic relationship, or as the only two people on earth who understand what each other went through and are going to buddy system each other into dealing with that. So either Daniel lives, or he's a ghost, or he still dies, and we have to sit with Grace as she deals with that and a love or kinship that she gained and lost during approx. 15 minutes of the worse day of her life.
It's just, like, imagine that you've been betrayed by the person you loved; who sold you a lie, the lie of a family; who even if he hadn't killed you was going to make a murderer out of you some day. And then imagine that you realise that you're not alone in thinking this is all severely, severely fucked up. Grace would imprint on that man like a baby duck, but also challenge how reductively he thinks about everything. Maybe they use their inherited millions and buy several large dogs and also lots of therapy.
I'd be delighted to receive a treat for this fandom (or any of my requests)!

I LOVE MURPHY!!!!! i did not feel like she got enough screen time in the movie. i would like to see anything with her, but especially:
- her growing up without her dad, and how that affects her
- more of how she got to be where she was as an adult
- AU where cooper can send messages back through the wormhole
- how did she get from her 'eureka' moment to actually making it work?!?!?
- her raising her own kids - in space?? on an ever-more-deadly earth?? how does the loss of her own parents affect the way that she raises her own family?
- i just love her so much i would love to see whatever you create for her!! her POV of canon scenes, her getting in fights at school, her relationship with her brother... truly endless possibilities...

Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses (2006)
Characters: Genevieve (Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses), Derek (Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses), Worldbuilding (Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Want: Genevieve/Derek! Either pre-canon, explaining how Derek came to burn the midnight oil for her, or how things happened between their dance and the wedding. Canon divergences, like how things would have happened without Rowena's arrival or even without Queen Isabella's death, are also great.
If you decide to focus on the worldbuilding, I'd be interested in both the secret magical place (who created it? Is it some alternate universe Queen Isabella found? Did Queen Isabella create it? Why?) or in the fictional kingdom, it's politics. I'd even be happy for just a small slice of worldbuilding and for the main focus to be Genevieve/Derek. If you would rather focus on just the worldbuilding however, you can either focus very little or just omit any Genevieve/Derek.
Do Not Want: AU (but canon-divergences within their world are perfectly alright), infidelity, sad endings, animal abuse, substance abuse (moderate alcohol use OK). No polyamory. No angst, unless it has a happy ending. No killing Derek or Genevieve, canon deaths OK.

Mulan (Disney Animated Movies)
Characters: Li Shang (Disney), Fa Mulan | Hua Mulan (Disney)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Want: Mulan/Shang please! I'm especially interested in how their courtship progressed after the movie. I dislike the second movie's canon, so feel free to ignore it completely. Also welcome is an answer to the question 'when did Shang fall in love?': did he love Ping before he loved Mulan? Did he care for Ping and then find that feeling transformed when it came to Mulan? Canon-divergences are great too, more details in letter.
I also love history and historical accuracy for this period.
Do Not Want: No AUs (but canon-divergences within the movie's universe are great), infidelity, animal, abuse, substance abuse (reasonable alcohol use is OK). No rape, but canon and period-typical violence are acceptable. No sad endings, no angst unless it has a happy ending. No Shang having concubines after marrying Mulan. No polyamory. No killing Shang or Mulan. No super-modern, super accepting society.

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Want: I want better for Ruyi! The main prompt I have in mind is her somehow falling in love and being able to marry Li Yunche, and somehow still keeping Hailan as a friend. Prompt ideas in letter. For these three, I'd love as much sunshine, good luck and rainbows as Qing dinasty China can possibly provide. If you'd rather focus on Ruyi and Ling Yunche, or even just Ruyi, Hailan can be omitted.
I would also enjoy Hongli getting his just-desserts. Full-on marinating in remorse. If you'd rather focus on a fic of Hongli marinating in regret and longing after Ruyi's death, you may focus on him and omit Hailan and Ling Yunche. Please make him regretful, unhappy and sad.
Do Not Want: Modern AUs (canon-divergences or AUs happening within their time period are great), no polyamory for Ruyi or Ling Yunche, but anyone else can have concubines if you like. No Ruyi/Hailan, I prefer them as friends. No abuse unless it's psychological harm on Hongli's betraying ass, but I realize the need for some canon-typical violence, so it can happen (will elaborate in letter). No angst unless it has a happy ending - if you're making Hongli sad, however, angst and unhappy endings are wonderful. No happy endings involving Ruyi with Hongli. No animal abuse.

Do Not Want: No non-magical AUs, canon divergence is OK. No animal abuse, violence, rape, substance abuse (some alcohol use OK). No angst, unless it's angst with a happy ending. No polyamory. No making the Landscape of Imagination unreal or a dream. No canon character deaths except Miranda's mother, as her death is essential to the plot. No infidelity - unless it's against Miranda's abusive human boyfriend. No Miranda going to live in the Fairy Isle forever, visiting is OK.

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Want: I want more interactions between these two and I am so sad they got zero on the movie. To be honest, I'm a Tai Lung/Tigress shipper, so if by some miracle of the Yuletide gods you happen to swing that way I'll be happy, but just more interaction between the two would be awesome. If you don't feel Tai Lung, I'd be happy with more about Tigress' life, her being awesome post-canon, etc. Prompt ideas in letter
Do Not Want: rape/non-con, canon character death (canonically dead characters can stay dead, and you may kill anyone else ex. parents of Tai Lung or Tigress, etc), abuse. Canon-typical violence is OK. No AUs, but canon divergences happening within their universe is OK, just no modern day or turning-into-humans AUs. No super evil, unredeemed Tai Lung manipulating Tigress. No angst unless it has a happy ending.

Want: Yingluo/Fu Heng! Either more of their sweet love or even better, a canon-divergent story where they do end up together somehow. I would like it if Empress Fuca were happy along with them, with a side of Erqing being miserable, but if the Empress and Erqing don't fit, I will take just Yingluo and Fu Heng.
Do Not Want: rape/non-con, no infidelity, polyamory or Fu Heng taking any concubines, but I will agree to a story where Fu Heng manages to bring Yingluo home as his concubine post marriage, as long as Erqing gets booted. No abuse, though canon and period-typical violence is allowed if it isn't the focus of the story. No modern AUs, but canon divergences that happen within the time-period are OK. Further examples in letter.

Library of Alexandria RPF
Characters: Zenodotus of Ephesus, Aristarchus of Samothrace
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

General likes: plotty stuff, humor, mystery, satire of corporate culture, epistolary/document-based stories, heists, riddles/puzzles, trains
General DNW: explicit sex (strong implications/suggestive content/sex jokes all fine), death of requested characters, rape/noncon, underage sex, extreme angst, in-depth discussion of sexual or gender identity, BDSM or other D/s, unrequested noncanon pairings for requested characters, detailed description of pregnancy, unrequested setting AUs
Fandom-specific notes:
So my entire basis for nominating/requesting this is that we were reading the Iliad and talking about the manuscript history and my professor said something along the lines of "Aristarchus always goes with the opposite of whatever Zenodotus does, he always picks the opposite reading." And that made me desperately curious about what Aristarchus might have thought of Zenodotus himself (since he has such a tendency to disagree violently with him), and what Zenodotus might have thought of Aristarchus' reactions to his work.
I know they weren't alive at the same time so I'd be perfectly happy with Aristarchus just thinking/talking about Zenodotus, but if you want to either change the timeline so that they could possibly meet or introduce some kind of time travel into the mix I would also enjoy that! (But please don't do a full modern AU.)
Some more prompts/ideas:
- daily life at the Library for either/both of them
- what drives their differing approaches to the text? (lectio facilior vs lectio difficilior, etc)
- a modern-day scholar, or a later librarian, going through their different edits and puzzling out something about what's going on with them
- Adding romance/tension between them would be welcome as would keeping it on a professional/rivals level
- I can read Ancient Greek (and Latin, if that should become relevant), so if you want to include any I'd love it! (Please consider this my explicit opt-in to receive fic in Latin or Ancient Greek rather than English.)

Ideas/prompts:
- Case fic - maybe Ana and Din have an opportunity to solve some smaller-scale mystery? Maybe one or both of them is unjustly accused? Maybe they have to in some way do a bit of what the other does?
- Travel adventures/misadventures for Ana and Din!
- In-universe documents about the Empire, the administration, the many constituent parts. Bureaucratic nitty-gritty!

Fandom-specific prompts:
- Case fic! Potential settings: train (either a fancy one or a subway), archaeological dig, animal shelter, political campaign - or anything else that you're knowledgeable and passionate about.
- Going off the part in Glass Onion where he struggles at Among Us, it would be fun to see him having more difficulty with social deduction games, or another kind of game/puzzle.
- I could honestly buy him as either a more strictly-business, no mystery-solving off the clock guy OR someone who can't help diving into little mysteries as he comes across them, so I'd enjoy either a fic where he keeps encountering small mysteries and stubbornly refusing to engage with them, or one where he does find and solve one!
- I plan to watch Wake Up Dead Man before works are revealed, so no need to worry about spoilers!

This is my favorite Stephen King novel. I'd love to hear more about any of the nominated characters, before or after or during the events of the book.
Did Leo always have the shine, or did that happen post-flu? It'd be really interesting to see how it'd go if Alice Underwood or Carla Goldsmith survived along with or instead of their children. Rape or seduction of Lloyd or Larry by Flagg is cool if you want to go in that direction. If you pick Lucy Swann's twins, I'd like them to be older children or teenagers, not babies.
