kay_obsessiveDear Trick or Treat Creator,
First of all, thank you so much for making something for me! I really love all of these fandoms and characters I’m requesting, so I’m sure I’ll like anything you make for any of them!
My previous exchange letters can be found here, my AO3 account is here, and my tumblr is here.
General Likes/Dislikes
Likes: Characters who know each other better than anyone else, whether they are friends, lovers, colleagues, enemies, or any combination of the above. Trust and loyalty. Competence kink. Casually intimate body language. People who have no sense of personal space with each other. Outsider POVs. Interweaving plots. Slice of life. Weird domesticity. Roadtrips. Mission fic. Future fic. Canon divergence AUs. Supernatural/fantasy/______punk/in space! AUs. Interesting little worldbuilding details. Undercover as a couple. Sharing a bed. Culture clashes. People who are bad at communicating finally managing it. Drabbles and drabble sequences. Epistolary formats and in-universe documents. 5+1 things format. Stylized designs. Limited color palettes.
Halloween-y Likes: Werewolves, vampires, and monsters. Ghosts and hauntings. Creepy abandoned places. Transformation and body horror. Witches, magic, and curses. Blood, blood magic, blood rituals. Unknowable, eldritch horrors. Skeletal creatures. General autumn-ness: changing leaves, pumpkins, harvests, shortening days, and a chill in the air.
DNWs: Non-canon permanent major character death (unless they become a ghost or something). Explicit, onscreen non-con. Underage sex under 15 or so. Unrequested parent-child incest. Unrequested crossovers. ‘Modern mundane’/high school/coffee shop-type AUs. Anything omegaverse, dom/sub world AU, soulmates, or soulbonds (canonical supernatural bonds and connections are fine).
Requests
Any prompts listed are just ideas and suggestions, and if you have your own super great idea for any of these fandoms and relationships you should totally go for it! I haven’t tried to separate out fic/art or trick/treat prompts, so feel free to interpret anything in either direction.
Dishonored
Requested Characters: Beatrici Attano, Jessamine Kaldwin, Billie Lurk, Daud, Daud's Mother, Emily Kaldwin
Liked Ships: Billie/Daud, Jessamine/Daud, Billie & other Whalers, Billie & Daud’s mother, Daud & Emily, Emily & Beatrici, Corvo & Beatrici, Jessamine & Emily, Corvo & Emily
Fandom specific likes/prompts: Whales and other creepy critters. Boats, ships, and sea travel. Visiting other islands. The Void. Fugue Feast. Heresy. Political machinations. Dealing with injuries. Werewolf/vampire/monster AUs.
I love the lore and worldbuilding and aesthetics of these games and all the complicated characters we often only get glimpses of. I would love anything filling in the blanks or giving a few more glimpses of any of these requested characters, from backstory, future speculation, exploring the 15-year gap between game events, or just ordinary moments in their daily life. Or anything further exploring the supernatural aspects of the world and how they intersect with everyone’s lives. Also, Fugue Feast. There’s masks and face paint and wild parties and crime. That’s basically Halloween, right?
Girl Genius
Requested Characters: Agatha Heterodyne, Barry Heterodyne, Castle Heterodyne, Gilgamesh Wulfenbach, Martellus von Blitzengaard, Vanamonde von Mekkhan, Jenka, Mamma Gkika
Liked Ships: Agatha/Gil, Agatha/Gil/Tarvek, Agatha/Martellus, Agatha & Barry, Agatha & Castle Heterodyne, Agatha & Jägers, Agatha & Van, Van & Castle Heterodyne, Barry & Castle Heterodyne, Martellus & Tarvek, Martellus & Seffie, Gil & Zeetha
Fandom specific likes/prompts: SCIENCE! Clanks and constructs. Sparks and their loyal minions, minions managing their sparks. Mechanicsburg being Like That. The Valois clan being Like That. Agatha dancing with all the boys. Visiting Skifander. Castle Heterodyne and its occupants and guests over the years.
I’ve been following this comic for years and years, and I still love it so much. I love all these characters and all their complicated, evolving relationships with each other. I love the long, winding plot with all its twists and turns. I love all the mysteries along the way, both solved and unsolved. And I love all the wacky mad science and how it shapes the world and its politics.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
Requested Characters: Kass, Link, Revali, Tulin, Zelda
Liked Ships: Link/Zelda, Link/Zelda/Revali, Zelda/Revali, Link & Tulin, Link & Kass, Tulin & Revali
Fandom specific likes/prompts: Exploring and rebuilding. The Sky and the Depths. Rito and Hylian cultures - sharing, clashing, melding. Local myths and legends. Lingering spirits visiting, haunting, watching over people. Time travel and timeline weirdness. Stal creatures.
Such a beautiful set of games, with a world that’s equally fun and heartbreaking to explore. I love the sense of loneliness and discovery in BotW and the tentative hope of rebuilding and community in TotK. With the undercurrent of the past’s tragedies lingering in both. I’m also familiar with Age of Calamity and would welcome any of its wacky timeline shenanigans, if you wanted to play with that.
Psychonauts
Requested Characters: Hollis Forsythe, Lucrecia Mux, Milla Vodello, Sasha Nein, Sasha Nein's Father, Truman Zanotto
Liked Ships: Sasha/Milla, Sasha & Milla & Truman, Sasha & Milla & Hollis, Hollis & Truman, Sasha & Sasha’s Father, Milla & Sasha’s Father
Fandom specific likes/prompts: Mental worlds. Family conflicts and issues. Interesting uses of psychic powers. True Psychic Tales comics. A day at the office. Office gossip. A day at camp. Undercover missions, as a couple or otherwise.
Psychonauts is such a fun series. I love how fully it embraces its silly premise and manages to use it for pretty deep worldbuilding and character exploration with some surprisingly dark themes, while still being pretty ridiculous and hilarious overall. The mundane trappings of summer camps and merit badges and office jobs and budget problems contrasted with the whole international psychic secret agents thing is really entertaining to me, and I’d love anything playing with those concepts. All the characters are so unique and memorable, both in personality and design, and I would enjoy seeing more of any of these guys in any situation.
Spyro the Dragon
Requested Characters: Bianca, Elora, Hunter, Sheila, Spyro
Liked Ships: Spyro/Elora
Fandom specific likes/prompts: Visiting different realms and worlds. Dragon Shores vacations. Different dragon cultures. Future relations between the Dragon Realms, Avalar, and Forgotten Realms. Looking after baby dragons. Grown up Spyro designs.
The original trilogy of games are super nostalgic for me, and I loved the remake for making everything as pretty as my memories told me it was. I love all the vibrant, varied worlds full of vibrant, varied creatures, all the fun characters, the humor, and all the odd little implications of just how this world works. Original and remake designs both welcome!
Well, that about sums it up, I think. Again, thank you so much for creating something for me! If you like prompts, I hope what I gave you is helpful. If you prefer to work without them, I look forward to seeing whatever you come up with. I’m sure whatever you make will be awesome!
