Sep. 14th, 2019 10:50 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Dear 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!
If you’re the journal stalking type, my previous exchange letters can be found here and here, my AO3 account is here, and my tumblr is here.
General Likes/Dislikes
Likes: A strong sense of character and character relationships. 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. Intimate body language. People who have no sense of personal space with each other. Outsider POVs. Interweaving plots. Slice of life. Roadtrips. Mission fic. Future fic. Canon divergence AUs. Supernatural/fantasy/______punk/in space! AUs. Backstory. Interesting worldbuilding details. Undercover as a couple. Friends to lovers. Developing relationships. Culture clashes. People who are bad at communicating finally managing it. Drabbles and drabble sequences. Stylized designs. Limited color palettes.
Halloween-y Likes: Werewolves, vampires, and monsters – AUs welcome for all requests. 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. Explicit, onscreen non-con. Extreme underage (under 15 or so). Parent-child incest. Unrequested crossovers. ‘Modern mundane’/high school/coffee shop AUs. First person POV, unless the original canon is in first person or if it’s an in-universe letter or article or something. Anything A/B/O, 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 characters you should totally go for it! I haven’t tried to separate out fic/art or trick/treat prompts, so feel free interpret anything in either direction.
Dishonored
Requested Characters: Beatrici Attano, Billie Lurk, Clockwork Soldiers, Corvo Attano, Daud’s Mother, Galia Fleet, Jessamine Kaldwin, Lizzy Stride, Samuel Beechworth, Daud, Emily Kaldwin, The Heart
Ships: Billie/Daud, Jessamine/Daud, Billie/Galia, High Chaos!Corvo/Samuel
I love the supernatural lore and worldbuilding 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 and future speculation to just moments in daily life. Also, Fugue Feast. There’s masks and face paint and wild parties and crime. That’s basically Halloween, right?
In addition to the listed ships, I am also open to the platonic versions of each of those relationships as well as interactions between any requested characters – the more unexpected the better. I’d also be especially interested in meetings between characters who have some connection they don’t realize – Billie or Corvo meeting Daud’s mother, Daud or Emily meeting Beatrici Attano, etc. – or characters who have a known or implied connection but aren’t really shown interacting in canon – Emily and Daud, Billie and Lizzie, etc.
Doctor Who
Requested Characters: Ace McShane, Seventh Doctor
Ships: Ace/Seven, Ace/any other Doctor
Seven is my favorite Doctor, Ace is my favorite companion, and the Seven-Ace era is my favorite of the show. I’d love to see these two having any kind of time and space adventures, together, on their own, or with other people/aliens. Fun planets, creepy planets, dark timelines, bright futures, anything is welcome. I also enjoy both the sweeter and darker aspects of both characters and their relationship with each other.
In addition to the Ace/Seven ship, I would also enjoy Ace shipped with any other Doctor. Suggestions include Nine and Thirteen, but I would greatly enjoy any possibility. I would also enjoy seeing Seven interact with various other companions from other eras.
Fruits Basket
Requested Characters: Manabe Kakeru, Honda Tohru, Sohma Akito, Sohma Hatori, Sohma Momiji, Sohma Yuki
Ships: Yuki/Kakeru, Akito/Tohru, Momiji/Tohru, Hatori/Tohru
I love the mix of darkness and hope in this canon and would enjoy anything exploring either or both ends of that. All of these characters have a lot going on, and I would appreciate seeing more of any of them. More general explorations or depictions of the curse are also welcome, looking at the lore and history and mechanics and anything else.
Aside from the listed ships, I find all the relationships and connections between characters in this series fascinating, and I would love any interactions between any of these characters.
I also want to randomly suggest the idea of a Petshop of Horrors crossover or fusion, which I’ve always thought would be neat.
Hollow Knight
Requested Characters: Herrah the Beast, Hornet, The Knight, The Last Stag, Myla, Quirrel
Ships: None
The atmosphere of this game is so good. I love all the locations and how they interconnect and bleed into each other. I love the character and monster designs and how so many of them ride the cute/creepy line. And I love the sense of history to the world, where you really feel dropped into a long-existing place that once thrived and is now dying, scattered with characters who remember bits and pieces of what it used to be.
I’d be interested in glimpses and snippets from any of these characters’ lives or just moments of them being in and interacting with their world. I don’t have any ships for this fandom, but I’d be happy to see anything exploring relationships and interactions between these characters or with any other characters from the game. The Knight’s various meetings, confrontations along Hornet’s journey, The Stag ferrying folks around, etc.
Psychonauts
Requested Characters: Ford Cruller, Lili Zanotto, Linda the Hideous Hulking Lungfish, Milla Vodello, Razputin Aquato, Sasha Nein, Truman Zanotto
Ships: Sasha/Milla
Psychonauts is so fun. 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 camp and office jobs contrasted with the whole 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 – and fish – in any situation.
For character interactions, I really enjoy Sasha and Milla’s relationship, both shippy and platonic, as well as seeing their interactions with co-workers and campers. I’d also love more of the family relationships from the series, like Lili and Truman and Raz and his big family. And please feel free to introduce Linda to anybody and everybody.
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!
