Chocolate Box Letter 2020

chiiyo86Dear 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, don't worry about it, you can make free use of my general likes - the prompts are just there to give you some ideas to work with. Some of them 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.

- characters hiding their injuries (with eventual h/c)
- characters being ruthless because they think they need to be
- murder mysteries/casefic

- unrequested ships (mentions of canon ships are fine)
- possessive jealousy described as romantic
- major non-canonical character death (dealing with canonical character death is fine)
- character/ship bashing
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 were still 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!
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.
Ciel/Elizabeth/Sieglinde: My super rare OT3!
- When it comes to romantic/sexual stuff, Sieglinde is a lot more forward than the other two, so she could be a great help in moving things along between them. How does she get Ciel and Elizabeth, with their respective issues, to give a shot at a threeway relationship?
- How do they figure out and make their relationship work in Victorian society?
- The three of them are all geniuses in their own way, so any situation where they have to combine their capacities would be great. Maybe Lizzie and Sieglinde find themselves involved in one of Ciel’s cases in some way?
Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms:
Nico di Angelo/Percy Jackson: they're my OTP, but 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)
- anything that plays with Percy and Nico's respective powers: discovering new powers/new aspects of their powers, powers that go awry, fun ways to combine their powers.
- 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)
- post BoO, Nico’s confession suddenly makes Percy look at him in a new light and Percy realizes that Nico grew up hot but oh noes! Nico is now over him and maybe dating Will (you can also choose to never have Nico dating Will at all).
- 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.
The Umbrella Academy:
Number Five | The Boy & Allison & Ben & Diego & Klaus & Luther & Vanya: As stated in my list of likes, complicated family dynamics and sibling relationship are 100% my jam, so anything involving those siblings figuring out themselves and each other would be delightful. Five is my favorite, so you're more than welcome to focus on him.
NB: I realize that my incest DNW gets awkward in this show because of Allison/Luther. You don't have to pretend it doesn't exist but I'd rather you don't make it front and center.
- anything about their childhood, the good and the bad: their training, the Umbrella Academy missions, their daily lives, small bonding moments with each other. How they react to Five going missing and to Ben dying could be interesting too.
- AU where they run away as kids.
- their POV during the twelve years of their estrangement: How did they feel, hearing about Allison on the news or seeing her face on the covers of gossip magazines? Or when they heard they had a niece? Did they watch her movies? Did any of them ever go to one of Vanya’s concerts? Did Diego and Klaus run into each other since they probably hung around in the same shady neighborhoods? Did they know about Luther going to the moon? How did Luther feel, watching his siblings leaving one after the other and then living in that big empty house with all the memories of their childhood (did he ever watch the surveillance tapes that Pogo showed Allison)? What sort of feelings and memories did Vanya’s book trigger in all of them?
- Five during his time in the Apocalypse, clinging to the memory of his siblings to survive.
- outsider's POV on the siblings, either from someone one of them know or from a totally random OC.
- the siblings reconnecting post season 1, maybe with some crazy adventures where they have to use their powers and learn how to work as a team that involves Vanya.
Number Five/The Handler: I ship them as a hateship, so I'm not interested in ship fic where they develop genuine romantic feelings for each other.
- them playing mind games with each other while having weird sexual tension is all I want, to be honest. It can take place pre-canon, when Five is working for the Commission, or when Five briefly comes back during season 1, or post season 1 with the Handler coming back from the dead somehow. Reluctantly forced to work together would be the best! I feel like the Handler would have no moral qualms about sex with Five in his underage body, so you can go as far as you're comfortable with in this set-up.
IT - Muschietti Movies:
I only requested the movie but I also know and love the book, so feel free to mix movie and book canon, or to use my prompts for book canon if applicable.
Bill Denbrough & Mike Hanlon & Ben Hanscom & Eddie & Beverly & Richie & Stanley Uris, Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon/Ben Hanscom/Eddie Kaspbrak/Beverly Marsh/Richie Tozier/Stanley Uris: whether platonic or romantic, the Losers' relationship is at the heart of this canon. I'm fine with either platonic or sexual/romantic interpretations, or a complicated mix of both.
- soulbond between the seven of them, and what happens to that soulbond during the time they've forgotten each other.
- during the twenty-seven years time skip, the Losers keep being drawn to news of each other without knowing why (reading Bill's books, watching his interviews on TV, watching Richie's show, reading news about Beverly's career fashion or about Ben as a famous architect, etc.)
- Mike keeping tabs on the others.
- fantasy Chosen One AU - either Bill is the Chosen One but the Losers won't let him shoulder everything on his own, or they're a group of Chosen Ones.
Bill Denbrough & Mike Hanlon & Ben Hanscom & Beverly Marsh & Richie Tozier, Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon/Ben Hanscom/Beverly Marsh/Richie Tozier:
- post Chapter 2, moving on with their lives and mourning Stan and Eddie. Being terrified of forgetting each other again and doing everything to prevent that.
- the surviving Losers having to deal with the consequences of what happened, such as dealing with Eddie's disappearance and Henry Bowers' death. Reactions on social media about them, especially from Bill or Richie's fans. What are some of the theories people come up with?
- AU where Stan stayed in Derry instead of Mike but still died. When the Losers are mysteriously drawn back to the city, it's much harder to come together and remember what happened. Fortunately, Stanley left them clues.
Bill Denbrough/Richie Tozier:
- Bill was canonically neglected by his parents, word of god is that Richie was too; they trump their loneliness with each other.
- they get trapped in the Neibolt House together (either the others manage to get away and they don't, or Richie is the only one who comes in with Bill) and have to survive the house's mind-fucking attempts. Alternatively, Bill and Richie having to deal with one of Pennywise's tricks together would be gold (the equivalent of the photo album scene or the part where they get chased by Pennywise as a werewolf in the book). Richie's faith in Bill is what gets them through it.
- they meet during the time skip and hook up, then start to remember their childhood or at least have the feeling that the other is weirdly familiar. Maybe they go back together to Derry to try and figure it out.
- post Chapter Two, they hook up as Richie tries to get over Eddie's death and Bill tries to get over his divorce. They don't realize at first that it's more than a friends-with-benefits hookup.
- the aforementioned Bill as the Chosen One fantasy AU, but with a Bill/Richie turn.
