Chocolate Box letter 2019

[chiiyo86]

Dear Chocolate Box writer,

Thanks for writing for me! I’ll start with general likes and DNW, and then I’ll give some prompt ideas for each of my fandoms/relationships. If none of the prompts inspire you, you can make free use of my general likes! Some of my prompts are fic ideas that would fit a longer fic, but of course I don't expect it given the low minimum wordcount of the challenge, so a scene or two from that idea is absolutely fine. :)

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/ships/prompts, art treats are absolutely welcome.

General likes:
- canon divergence AUs
- worldbuilding
- sibling relationships
- complicated family dynamics
- subtle gestures of love from closed-off characters
- characters teasing each other/banter
- characters being good at what they do
- characters being bad at communicating/at figuring out their own feelings
- trust issues: a character having trust issues, working through them, shows of trust
- bed sharing (gen or shippy)
- forced intimacy (gen or shippy)
- sleep deprivation, exhaustion
- nightmares/dreams getting confused with reality (especially magically/supernaturally induced)
- PTSD symptoms, character being helped through panic attack/PTSD symptoms
- characters having to get out of a difficult situation while hurt/sick, characters demonstrating their resilience as they keep going/fighting even though they're at the end of their rope
- characters hiding their injuries (with eventual h/c)
- characters being ruthless because they think they need to be
- murder mysteries/casefic
- eerie atmospheres, spooky settings
- outsider's POV
- UST that comes through little details/innocuous moments
- UST-filled sparring
- pining (especially if the pining character is resigned to not getting what they want)
- slow burn romance
- kissing: tender kissing, passionate kissing, desperate kissing, rough kissing.
- touching wrists, cheeks, the nape of the neck.
- clothed sex
- non-penetrative sex
- wall sex
- guilty masturbation paired with pining
- first-time sex, figuring out each other sexually, messy/clumsy but still intense sex.

DNW:
- A/B/O
- mpreg
- graphic torture
- body horror
- graphic non-con (rape as backstory is fine)
- unrequested dubcon (see my prompts)
- extreme underage (under 13)
- incest
- cheating (but I'm absolutely fine with poly)
- marriage with kids kind of future fic
- use of non-canonical pet names
- unrequested setting change AUs
- porn without plot (what I mean by that: I'm okay with fic that has smut, but I need some build-up, character interactions, and/or plot element to go with it)
- unrequested ships (mentions of canon ships are fine)
- possessive jealousy described as romantic
- major character death

Now to the fandoms!

Kuroshitsuji:

Our Ciel is my absolute favorite so you can’t go wrong with focusing on him. If you need to name him by his "real" name I find that "Astre" is the fanon name that makes the most sense in the ones I've seen suggested. I'm NOT a fan of headcanons where real Ciel is evil/manipulative before coming back to life (he can be as fucked up as you want post resurrection).

Ciel Phantomhive & Real Ciel Phantomhive: - any fluffy childhood scene involving the twins. Why not our Ciel having to take care of his brother, for a change? Or real Ciel dragging Ciel into a prank? Or them having some kind of special birthday tradition with each other?
- canon is breaking my heart, so any scenario where real Ciel didn’t die, but the twins still were prisoners of the cult and their parents died, etc. Maybe they managed to escape together or were saved by whoever.
- present time in canon, the twins interacting and our Ciel realizing how changed his brother is… Mindgames between the twins, and our Ciel giving as good as he gets, even if the situation is incredibly painful for him.
- dealing with our Ciel's identity issues now that his lies have been revealed, and on being a twin in general.
- Our Ciel over the years, after the cult and everything, missing his brother (other than just the traumatic flashbacks of his death we see in canon). His motto is that you shouldn't dwell on the past, but it must have been hard sometimes.

Sebastian Michaelis & Ciel Phantomhive: - anything casefic-y, showing how well they work together (kind of like in the murder arc). Bonus points for undercover work!
- Ciel’s POV on the beginning of their association, right after Sebastian saves him from the cult.
- “You’re the one I can trust the least.” Expand on that!
- Post real Ciel revelation: Sebastian is wary of Ciel's emotional instability and attachment to his brother, and Ciel is worried that Sebastian will use his current vulnerability as an excuse to try to eat him again (as he did in the Green Witch arc). Still, they have to work together to defeat real Ciel and Undertaker!

Soma Asman Kadar & Ciel Phantomhive: - confrontation post real Ciel reveal, Soma learning about the twins: how does he react? Does he understand immediately what happened? Does he forgive our Ciel? I would prefer the fic to at least hint to a possible reconciliation.
- prior the current arc, reflection from our Ciel’s POV on how he feels about the fact that Soma is presenting himself as his brother.
- Soma helping Ciel on a case, kind of like in the Weston arc.
- more shenanigans at Weston.

Ciel Phantomhive/Elizabeth Midford: - Elizabeth figuring out her feelings for our Ciel (and distinguishing them from her feelings for real Ciel)
- Elizabeth saving Ciel from danger! Hurt/comfort welcome, preferably with Ciel as the hurt one. Elizabeth being a badass sword fighter in general.
- Elizabeth getting involved in Watchdog's business.
- Fumbling first times at anything sexual or intimate, taking into account Ciel's issues with intimacy/touch. I have this headcanon of Lizzie being very sexually attracted to Ciel but not dealing with it very well due to Victorian views on female sexuality, so you can work with that if you want.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms :

Nico di Angelo/Percy Jackson: my OTP! I ship them so much. That being said, I’ll reiterate that I’m fine with poly scenarios so you don’t necessarily have to break up Percy/Annabeth, buuuut I have to say I’m not a fan of Will/Nico (in any case, no cheating and no bashing of the other love interests)
- Nico and Percy going on a quest together post Blood of Olympus. You can either ignore Nico’s confession at the end or work with it.
- when Percy has lost his memories in 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.
- what if Nico fell into Tartarus with Percy and Annabeth? Or fell with Percy instead of Annabeth?
- 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.
- what if, somehow, Percy instead of Jason had been there when Cupid forced Nico to confess?
- at what point did Nico realize the nature of his feelings for Percy?
- Hunger Games AU: Percy and Nico are both tributes. Or Percy can be a former victor who trains Nico. You can include elements from the PJO series in the worldbuilding and make a fusion of the two universes (e.g. there can still be gods and demigods)
- I ship them like it's my job, but I would also enjoy a Percy & Nico fic where they develop a real friendship post BoO and Nico's confession (still bitter that we NEVER see them interact after that moment in the books).

Nico di Angelo & Hazel Levesque: - more details on their first meeting.
- the two of them figuring out how to be siblings to each other.
- Nico coming out to Hazel, being worried of her reaction given the time period she comes from (I’m fine with Hazel being a little uncomfortable at first, as long as she’s mostly supportive).
- people disputing Nico and Hazel’s claim to siblinghood, either because Nico is a Greek demigod and Hazel is a Roman demigod, or because Nico is white and Hazel is black (in the latter case, it would have to come from strangers).
- Nico and Hazel talking about Bianca.
- 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 and Hazel on a quest together, combining their powers (kind of like what they did at the end of House of Hades)
- both of their relationships with their father; the demigods' relationships to their god parents in the series is fascinating to me.

Nico di Angelo & Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano: - what happened in Albania??
- more of them road-tripping/traveling together, whether it’s added episodes from their quest in BoO, or something that happens later.
- Reyna’s POV during the three days Nico was in a coma after turning that guy into a ghost, dealing with the horror of what he's done and how it resonates with her own backstory.
- Nico and Reyna's friendship being instrumental to the good relations between Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter post BoO.

Six of Crows series:

Any of the other Six of Crows' main characters is welcome to feature in the fic! You can ignore Matthias' death if you want.

Kaz Brekker/Inej Ghafa, Kaz Brekker/Jesper Fahey, Kaz Brekker/Inej Ghafa/Jesper Fahey: - anything involving any of those pairs (or the three of them) pre-canon : how did Inej and/or Jesper manage to earn Kaz’s trust, which we know isn’t easy to get?
- working together on a job, pre or post-canon (if you can find a way to reunite the three of them post-canon).
- any of those pairs, or the three of them, in a sexy context dealing with Kaz’s issues with touch.
- two of the three of them have to team up to save the third. Maybe Pekka Rollins makes a come-back?

Kaz Brekker/Jesper Fahey: - for them specifically I’d like loyalty kink, a hint of D/s (would be best if Kaz's control isn't total/Jesper could potentially turn the table on him), gun play, dealing with Jesper having to regain Kaz’s trust - I would welcome for example a missing scene giving more resolution to that issue. I’d like subtle signs that Kaz does care and isn't unaffected, without getting out of character.
- Jesper crushing on Kaz pre-canon (or even post-canon!).

Kaz Brekker/Inej Ghafa: for them specifically, how their long distance relationship works post-canon. Writing letters to each other - you could even go with full-on epistolary format!

Kaz Brekker/Inej Ghafa/Jesper Fahey: you can write it as a V poly relationship (with Inej and Jesper as friends) or as a full triad (with Inej and Jesper being romantically involved). You can deal with Jesper/Wylan either by making it an open relationship, or by having them break up - the choice is yours, I'm fine with either.
- any of the post-canon scenarios I mentioned containing a developping relationship between the three of them.
- pre-canon AU: they meet each other much sooner and when Kaz has been less damaged by life - but somehow they still end up in a gang in the Barrel. How different is their relationship from what it is in canon?

Hikaru no Go

An old favorite that I suddenly felt the urge to revisit. Feel free to inject as much Go in your fic as you want - I love Go and play it in real life. But if you don't know much about the game, don't sweat it and be as vague as you want!

Shindou Hikaru/Touya Akira: - I know it's been done to death, but any Sai reveal: can be post canon, can be a divergence AU at any point in canon, can be Hikaru telling Akira or Akira figuring it out himself. If it's a divergence AU, how does it affect Hikaru and Akira's relationship if Akira knows about Sai?
- roles swap AU: Akira is the one who becomes haunted by Sai. He could still be the son of the Meijin while Hikaru is still a regular boy who thinks Go is a game for old people (and the question is: how do they meet and how does Hikaru get dragged into the world of Go?), or the roles swap is complete - Hikaru is the son of a famous Go player and Akira is the regular boy - but they still have their canon personalities as much as applicable.
- post-canon, developing romantic feelings that are deeply entangled in their rivalry and that they have no clue how to deal with. Preferably with a healthy dose of pining. ;)
- figuring out sex together: it's messy, clumsy, intense, and neither of them wants the other to beat him at this new game.
- Akira defending Hikaru to people who thinks he's not worthy of being Akira's rival. Hikaru defending Akira to people critizing him, either on his game or his personality. Outsider's POV would be especially welcome here.
- Some problem external to Go and his relationship with Hikaru is affecting Akira's game. For the first time in his life, he starts having doubts about his game and wonders if he's worthy of this path. Hikaru is afraid that if Akira loses Go, Hikaru will lose him. Akira should find his spark again at the end, because I can't imagine Akira not love Go!
- Media speculate about the nature of Akira and Hikaru's relationship. Akira and Hikaru are bemused by their conclusions.
- Fantasy AU where Go is replaced by some sort of magical art, and Hikaru and Akira are of course rivals. Bonus points if that magical art is based on Go!
