Chocolate Box Letter
Dec. 31st, 2017 01:05 pmDear 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! 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:
- found family/family feelings (especially with siblings)
- subtle gestures of love from closed-off characters
- characters teasing each other/banter
- characters being good at what they do
- bed sharing
- forced intimacy
- Groundhog day scenarios where the character desperately wants to do something/prevent something and gets a little crazy along the way
- sleep deprivation
- nightmares/dreams getting confused with reality (especially magically/supernaturally induced)
- PTSD
- characters having to get out of a situation while hurt/sick
- murder mysteries/casefic
- eerie atmospheres
- 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.
- touching wrists, cheeks, the nape of the neck.
- clothed sex
- non-penetrative sex
DNW: A/B/O, mpreg, graphic torture, body horror, graphic non-con, extreme underage (under 13), incest, cheating (poly situations are more than fine), marriage with kids kind of future fic, mundane AUs.
Now to the fandoms!
Kuroshitsuji:
Our Ciel is my absolute favorite so you can’t go wrong with focusing on him. 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 & Original 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 going to break 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.
- present time in canon, the twins interacting and our Ciel realizing how changed his brother is… Mindgames between the twins, and our Ciel gives as good as he gets, even if the situation is incredibly painful for him.
- Our Ciel over the years following 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.
Ciel Phantomhive & Original Ciel Phantomhive & Elizabeth Midford : - What was our Ciel's relationship with Lizzie when they were kids? How do they interact now that she knows the truth?
- Real Ciel post resurrection being creepy and off with our Ciel and/or Lizzie.
- Now that Real Ciel is back, how does Lizzy feel about either of the twins? Filling the blanks of her times with the Blue sect would be good too.
Ciel Phantomhive & Original Ciel Phantomhive & Rachel Phantomhive & Vincent Phantomhive: - Vincent having fun with both twins (kind of like the cooking scene in the bonus chapter, but involving our Ciel)
- Vincent trying to teach the twins about being an earl.
- Rachel having fun with the twins.
- Rachel and Vincent contemplating their sons and their future.
Soma Asman Kadar & Ciel Phantomhive: - Our Ciel and Soma mending their friendship ;_;
- 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.
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!
- Canon hasn’t really stated it one way or another, but I think that Sebastian has always known about Ciel’s taking his brother’s identity (he obviously knew about the twin). So I’d like either to know about the thousand ways he’s found to torment Ciel with it (preferably with Ciel not being sure whether he knows or not) or just Sebastian’s POV, noticing little ways Ciel is betraying himself and being immensely amused.
Critical Role:
Vax'ildan & Vex'ahlia: - Vex & Vax as children in Syngorn
- “I will see you again” is what Vax says to Vex before following the Raven Queen. How does that happen?
- The twins are always trying to outdo each other. What’s the most stupid contest they’ve ever had?
Keyleth & Vex'ahlia: - Vex tries to teach Keyleth to be more confident.
- After Vax’s death, all the little ways Vex and Keyleth comfort each other.
- Post-canon, Lady Vex’ahlia and Keyleth Voice of the Tempest have to solve a diplomatic crisis together.
Percival "Percy" Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III/Vax'ildan: - handcuffed together (or any variation on the forced intimacy trope). Any situation where they can only rely on each other, especially set during the time where their relationship is at its worst.
- What if Percy had succeeded in saving Vax by selling his soul?
Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms :
- Nico di Angelo/Percy Jackson: my OTP! I rarely ship anything as hard as I ship those two. 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 (but 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 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.
- 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?
Nico di Angelo & Hazel Levesque: - more details on their first meeting.
- 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 arguing 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.
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.
Jason Grace/Piper McLean/Leo Valdez: - Leo always feels like a third wheel when he’s with Jason and Piper. His friends show him that he isn’t.
- “And by the way – I love you guys.” This is what Leo tells Jason and Piper before sacrificing himself. What if it was meant to be a romantic confession? Preferably, Leo hasn’t met Callypso, or if he has then he hasn’t fallen in love with her.
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard:
Annabeth Chase & Magnus Chase: - Magnus and Annabeth comparing notes on the Greek gods and the North gods. Annabeth is intrigued by how it can all work together.
- Magnus brings Annabeth to Hotel Valhala, or Annabeth brings Magnus to Camp Half-Blood. Or any other scenario where they discover each other’s universe.
Magnus Chase/Alex Fierro: - some Alex POV on Magnus would be nice – we know that Magnus is head over heels with Alex, but what about Alex’s side?
- Magnus sharing memories of his mother with Alex.
- discovering each other sexually ; fumbling/awkward first times.
- what if Alex and Magnus had met each other back when they both lived in the streets?
Samirah al-Abbas & Magnus Chase: - Magnus being there at Sam’s wedding.
- little ways that Sam shows that she trusts Magnus.
- Sam needs help for something really awkward, and she turns to Magnus. Reluctantly.
Lynes and Mathey series:
Julian Lynes/Ned Mathey: - 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 do Lynes and Mathey start sleeping together when they meet again in London?
- holiday celebrations after a difficult case. H/c after a difficult case.
- Lynes and Mathey at school, the haunted school version.
- non-conforming metaphysics gone wrong. Sooooo many fucked-up scenarios, there. Go wild. (Not a particularly shippy prompt, so can be used for any fic set in this canon).
Cordelia Frost & Ned Mathey: - Miss Frost's point of view on starting to work with Mathey. More of Miss Frost's backstory would be nice too.
- Miss Frost helping out on a case.
- the non-shippy version of the pretend relationship trope. Can be for Ned’s sake or for Cordelia’s.
Julian Lynes/Ned Mathey & Charles Hatton: - post Death at the Dionysus Club, how does Inspector Hatton handles knowing about Julian and Ned’s relationship?
The Invisible Library series:
Kai/Peregrine Vale: post The Burning Page, Kai and Vale have started living together. How does Vale handle having Kai in his space all the time? (can end in Irene/Kai/Vale or have Irene/Kai/Vale subtext if you deal with the fact that they both have kissed Irene at this point).
Irene/Kai/Peregrine Vale: - post The Burning Page, the three of them working together on a case (with the added complication of Kai not working for the Library anymore).
- pretend relationship in an undercover work context, involving any pair but eventually involving the third too.
- one of the three have to be rescued (preferably one of the men).
Six of Crows series:
Kaz Brekker & Inej Ghafa, Kaz Brekker & 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).
Kaz Brekker/Inej Ghafa, Kaz Brekker/Jesper Fahey: - any of those pairs in a sexy context dealing Kaz’s issues with touch. I didn’t think of nominating it, but Kaz/Inej/Jesper is more than fine!
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!
