Trick or Treat letter
Sep. 8th, 2018 06:37 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Dear Trick or Treat writer,
Thanks for writing for me! I'll gladly get tricks or treats, so I'll start with general likes for both, and then I'll give some prompt ideas for each of my fandoms. If none of the prompts inspire you, you can make free use of my general likes! Whenever I have shipping preferences, I will indicate them, and will be equally happy with shippy and gen fic for my characters. Also, I only requested fic because I'm a writer and I always think in terms of writing, so I didn't know how to ask specifically for art, but if you feel inspired by one of my fandoms/prompts, art treats are absolutely welcome.
General likes for treats: h/c with an emphasis on comfort, fluff with a hint of angst, bed sharing, forced intimacy, found family/family feelings (especially siblings), little gestures of love, characters teasing each other/banter, moments of peace in dangerous/difficult situations, characters being good at what they do, UST (but I like it best when it’s understated) and pining (especially if the pining character is resigned to not getting what they want), kissing (tender kissing, passionate kissing, desperate kissing, rough kissing), clothed sex, non-penetrative sex.
DNW: death fic, extreme underage, incest, non-con/dub-con, marriage with kids kind of future fic, porn without plot, unrequested ships.
General likes for tricks: h/c with emphasis on hurt, characters having to get out of a difficult situation while hurt/sick, PTSD, haunted houses, eerie atmospheres, open/ambiguous endings, sleep deprivation, exhaustion, nightmares/dreams getting confused with reality, murder mysteries.
DNW: graphic torture, body horror, graphic non-con, extreme underage, incest, unrequested ships, porn without plot.
Now to the fandoms!
Kuroshitsuji: I would rather have gen for this character, although I'm fine with Ciel/Elizabeth. Our Ciel is my absolute favorite for the series; I think you could write about him drinking tea and I would enjoy it. Nevertheless, here are some ideas:
Treat prompts: - any fluffy childhood scene you can think of where Ciel interacts with his twin, his parents, and/or Lizzie. Fun family outings, the twins playing a prank together (maybe with Lizzie too), our Ciel having to take care of his brother for a change.
- I'm not interested in writing it myself, but I would be intrigued to read someone else's view of how the twins would have grown up without everything that happened. Both of them in Weston would be especially fun.
- Our Ciel and his servants in the early days, and/or how Ciel met Baldroy and Mei-Rin.
- Our Ciel and Soma mending their friendship ;_;
Trick prompts:
- Our Ciel finding himself on his own, with no one to rely on, in a dangerous situation. Preferably while being weakened in some way.
- Our Ciel hallucinating for reasons (fever, drugs), and being haunted by his past. His PTSD catching up with him.
- Haunted house! Whether it's the Phantomhive mansion or some other place.
- Creepy interactions between our Ciel and a Bizarre Doll Real Ciel.
- The twins manage to escape the cult like Real Ciel wanted to. This one can veer into a treat prompt depending on whether you focus on the comfort or on the hurt.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms: My shipping preference for Nico is Percy/Nico, and I NOTP Will/Nico so I'd rather not have more than a mention of it in my gift.
Treat prompts:
- any fluff involving Nico connecting with someone: he and Hazel developing their sibling relationship, or when they met; more of Nico's travels with Reyna in BoO (what happened in Albania??); Nico and Jason's developing friendship; Nico and Percy developing a more serene friendship post BoO and Nico's confession (still bitter that we NEVER see them interact after that moment in the books). Generally speaking, Nico encountering acceptance and love.
- What if Nico and Hazel (and Bianca) had never been displaced in time and had met each other in their original time? Note that in that scenario Hazel would be the older sibling.
- Nico's chats with Bob the Titan sound like they could make for a cute story.
- Percy/Nico: when Percy has lost his memories of Mark of Athena, he and Nico interact more and Percy pushes harder to know why he has the feeling he knows Nico. Maybe Nico goes on the quest with them, maybe they meet him along the way. (more Percy/Nico prompts: here)
Trick prompts:
- So much happens to Nico off page (a lot of it is fairly dark, which is why I put it in trick prompts, but there must have been lighter moments too that can be used for treats), so have fun filling in the blanks! What about him getting lost in the Labyrinth and meeting Minos? His desperate quest to resurrect Bianca? Traveling around the Underworld? His journey to the Doors of Death, falling into Tartarus and getting kidnapped by Gaia? When did he realize he was attracted to Percy and how much self-loathing did he go through?
- any nightmare stories involving the creepy potential of his powers (remember that time he turned someone into a ghost? fun!)
- Percy/Nico: sex pollen, gods/curse made them do it scenarios. They can be both under the influence, or only one of them. Can be post BoO (with Percy being aware that Nico used to have feelings for him, and both of them thinking that it’s in the past) or not.
Miraculous Ladybug: I ship Marinette/Adrien, but if you write something shippy I'm also open to Marinette/Alya, Adrien/Nino and Marinette/Adrien/Alya/Nino. Also, I'm French, so I would like the fic to not feel like it's taking place in the US rather than in France... I'm not asking for a nitpicky amount of details (I don't live in Paris, so you have some leeway here), just the very minimum effort.
Treat prompts:
- Marinette and Adrien have to deal with an akuma attack when they don't have access to their powers for some reason. Of course, neither of them know who the other is!
- Alya and/or Nino discovering their friends' identity (it can be Nino discovering Marinette's identity and Alya discovering Adrien's!)
Trick prompts:
- Hawkeye discovers that Chat Noir is Adrien; reversely, Adrien discovers that Gabriel is Hawkeye. How bad does it get?
- Marinette or Adrien get akumatized. A classic for a reason!
- Dealing with some of the fridge horror the show doesn't focus on: what happens if someone dies during an akuma attack? What if Chat Noir destroyed an akuma before Ladybug can cleanse it? How much damage can Ladybug and Chat Noir's suits withstand? What if there were several akumas in a row, or at the same time? Any darker consequences for the akuma powers we've seen.
The Magnus Archives: My shipping preference here is Jon/Martin (did I mention that I liked pining?) Seeing as I'm writing this letter when I've only listened up to ep 107, I would prefer the fic not to involve any event from the season 3 finale.
Treat prompts: - silly fluff between Jon + the assitants. We know he cares about them! What if he showed them, for once?
- Jon/Martin: Martin gets to take care of Jon the way he wants to.
- Jon has to do a mission with either Tim or Melanie (the ones who are the most hostile to him) and their relationship improves a tiny bit.
- Basira and books, her time reading through the Institute.
- Jon and Basira's friendship.
- How does Martin realize that he's in love with Jon?
- Gerard Keay doesn't die before he and Jon can meet (I'm open to Jon/Gerard).
Trick prompts: - fic following the format of the show, statement + one or several scenes with Jon + the assistants. Preferably season 2 or 3. Favorite powers are the Dark, the Spiral, the Stranger, the Eye. The Flesh/Meat and the Corruption are huge squicks, and not in a fun way.
- anything from Gerard's unconventional childhood, or from his days traveling with Gertrude.
- Basira dealing with the supernatural when she was still in the police.
- Jon + assistants find themselves involved in something statement-worthy. Can be early in the show, when they don't know much about what is going on, or later, when they're aware of the powers.
Lynes and Mathey series: Lynes/Mathey is my OTP, unsurprisingly; I'm fine with gen or either of them paired with another character, but not in a way that breaks them up for good (like, pre-canon is fine).
Treat prompts: - Lynes and Mathey at school together pre-canon. School boys shenanigans, how they became friends, how they started fooling around, them comforting each other (in a sexual way or not) after being bullied.
- How did Lynes and Mathey start sleeping together when they met again in London?
- holiday celebrations after a difficult case. H/c after a difficult case. I was thinking shippy Lynes/Mathey, but can definitely involve Miss Frost too.
- Ned and one of the women he dated back then, becoming good friends; bonus points if the woman is actually a lesbian and they both find out about each other.
- Lynes and Lennox, pre-canon. What was their relationship like?
- What was Lynes' childhood like? We know it was a bit unusual and isolated, but I want more.
Trick prompts:
- non-conforming metaphysics gone wrong. Sooooo many fucked-up scenarios, there. Go wild.
- Lynes and Mathey at school, the haunted school version.
John Cleaver series: Among the canon ships I like John/Marci, but don't like John/Brooke as a romantic pairing, and I like the idea of John/Harris (the FBI agent who's after him in the last two books).
Treat prompts: - variations on either Marci or John's mother don't die. I especially want something where John and his mom try to face their issues.
- Marci tries to have a date with John that doesn't involve talking about murder.
- John interacting with his sister Lauren. She always seemed to want to build a relationship with him.
Trick prompts:
- In the second trilogy, John and Brooke hunting Withered between the first and second book, or John hunting on his own after the second book.
- John convinces Harris to hunt together for a Withered. Harris keeps John handcuffed the whole time. So, basically, what we got in canon but for a longer period of time. I put it as a trick prompt but it can get various levels of dark.
- For some reason, John has to hunt a Withered while he can't tell what's real and what's not.
- John dealing with his darker impulses (happy or unhappy ending).
