2024 Yuletide Dear Writer Letter
Oct. 7th, 2024 09:53 pmDNWS: piss play, scat, daddy kink
Willing to receive treats!
Breakfast on Pluto
Patrick "Kitten" Braden, Charlie
I love the friendship between Kitten and Charlie so any fic that delved more into their slice of life together would be lovely. It can be when they're in school together or after Charlie has her baby when they're living with Kitten's father.
Or if you'd like to write a fic only about Kitten, that's fine too! I enjoyed Kitten's dreamy fantasy of finding her mom, how she latched onto that daydream of reuniting with her mom. Same with her persistent desire and goal to be seen as a woman.
魔法使いの嫁 | Mahou Tsukai no Yome | The Ancient Magus Bride
Hatori Chise, Philomela Sargant, Gabriella, MarielleChise interests me as a character because of her foolhardy generosity and sacrifice. Also getting to see her experience magic and magical beings in a somewhat safer environment when she lives with Elias and at the alchemist academy. The fun part of the manga series is getting to watch Chise see different sides to magic and magical creatures. The exploration of it all really appeals to me.
Gabriella so far as I'm aware of isn't mentioned much in the manga which is why she fascinates me! I'm so freaking curious as to why a vampire is a nun and why she does what she does.
Marielle is another side character that catches my fancy because she's not a huge part of the main story. Anything with her growing up as a witch to the present day would be a fun read! Maybe Chise spends some time with Gabriella learning about witches' magic?
Philomela seems so sad and lonely. Any fluffy fic for her would be appreciated.
Knives Out (movies)
Ransom Drysdale, Benoit Blanc, Marta Cabrera
The arrogant sarcasm of Ransom appeals to me. I admit I wouldn't be opposed to a romantic fic between him and Marta or him and Benoit oooor a threesome between all three! Or, if you as the writer, have no interest in writing any smut that's fine too!
I do like the idea of exploring Ransom's relationship with Marta in the time she worked for Harlan prior to the movie timeline. The same for delving into Benoit's life prior to the Thrombey case interests me too.
Sense8 (TV)
Will Gorski, Wolfgang Bogdanow, Lito Rodriguez, Sun Bak
Real up front I'd love a smut fic with all of these characters together!
Or if smut is not your speed then a fluffy, cuddling, domestic fic would also be perfect with any or all of these characters. The found family aspect of Sense8 brings so much joy to my life.
Constantine (2005)
John Constantine, Papa Midnite, Gabriel
I love this movie. Constantine's snark and Gabriel's soon obsessive hatred of humanity being forgiven by God. Admittedly, John is my favorite character because of his quips. However, I'd enjoy a dive into Papa Midnite as a person since I'm only familiar with the movie and nothing else.
Any fic including any and/or all of these characters would make me happy. lol this entire Yuletide letter is author's choice. I'll be delighted with anything.
In The Flesh (TV)
Kieren Walker, Simon Monroe, Amy Dyer, Ricky Macy
Much like with Sense8 I adore all of these characters. Amy is my personal favorite because of her bubbly "fuck you all I'll do what I want" attitude. I aspire to be like her.
Simon's solemn attitude and fanatic belief in the Undead Prophet has always interested me. The same with how he latched on so hard to the Undead Prophet because of his time in the treatment center. The stark difference between when he was there and when Kieren was.
Worldbuilding Exchange 2024
Feb. 27th, 2024 09:00 pmOtoyomegatari | The Bride's Stories
Religious festivals / holidays
More expansion on what religious festivals and/or holidays are celebrated in the different parts of the country.
Different courtship/betrothal practices in various regions
Exactly what it says on the tin! Maybe a bride or groom learning to navigate the courtship and betrothal customs of their partner-to-be who is from a different region.
Blended/Intergenerational family dynamics
The blended/intergenerational family dynamics really interests me! The manga has the intergenerational households working together in harmony and I admit I wouldn't mind seeing the family members working through rough patches, figuring out how to communicate between their partners and with the rest of the family. But if conflict is not your forte than I don't mind seeing more domestic, slice of life between the various family members. The ways in which everyone helps around the house, in the family businesses, child-rearing, taking care of elderly parents etc.
Breakfast On Pluto
I'd love an exploration of Kitten's time in the London brothel! How she gets on with the other sex workers, her living arrangements, does she continue to try and pursue romantic relationships during this time, her letters to her best friend Charlie, etc.
Kitten's life after the end of the movie
What's Kitten's life like after the ending of the movie? I'm curious about how she navigates her life after seemingly settling down with Charlie, the baby, and her father. Or does Kitten eventually want to go back to the party scene along with continuing to find her true love?
Fandom5k Letter
Apr. 12th, 2021 02:51 amLikes: Holiday fics (Christmas, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Easter, Halloween etc), first time smut, smut or erotica, cuddling, slice of life/domesticity, found family, sex pollen, cuddling for warmth trope/forced bedsharing, vacation fic, bakery AU, college AU, magic, crossover fics (with the listed fandoms), no-powers AU, I adore height and size difference between characters whenever possible, emotional intimacy
Do Not Want: Sounding, piss play, scat, daddy kink, ageplay, rimming, unhappy ending, unrequited love, drug use (use of pot/cocaine etc) exception is sex pollen/sex drugs, soulmate fic, bestiality
*drug use is excepted in regards to the Undead medication
1. Enola Holmes
A. Enola/Sherlock
I admit this is a guilty ship of mine. I like the differences between Enola and Sherlock and that she doesn't take shit from him. Also my love for height and size difference between any pairing is enormously at play for these two.
2. Knives Out
A. Benoit/Marta
I was endeared by the idea of this pairing with how Benoit treats Marta in the movie. He takes her under his wing and the fact that he's protective of her in the face of the ire of the Thrombey clan. I'd love to see their friendship and relationship develop more. Marta I'm sure could learn to have fun sleuthing. Benoit's speech pattern tickles me pink and his very old-fashioned mannerisms. Marta is so sweet and yet she stands up both to Harlan and his family, regularly, not just when the plot of the movie happens. She's no meek woman. I'm happy with slice of life or case-fic whichever is your preference.
3. Crossover Fandom
A. Enola & Sherlock & Moriarty (BBC Sherlock)
I thought omg what fun it would be to see Enola and Moriarty in the same universe! I thoroughly enjoyed Moriarty in the BBC Sherlock universe. His slightly unhinged ways and his weirdly goofy actions. The flair and drama he has for everything that he does. Getting to see Enola have to go up against Moriarty or him finding out about Sherlock having a little sister and deciding to investigate that newfound fact.
B. Hannibal/Moriarty
This duo intrigues me. They are both showmen with a flair for the dramatic. Seeing Hannibal and Moriarty cross paths for whatever reason is something I'd love to have explore. How well would they mesh or clash against each other's personalities, ambitions, eating habits, etc. I wonder what Moriarty would think of a real-life cannibal.
C. Bucky Barnes/Geralt of Rivia
Fuck yes give me my beefy fucking men. This is a pure smutty pairing for me. The fic itself doesn't have to be smut but that's why I picked this pairing lol. What I really want explored is their isolation, their mutation of body and personhood, how they manage through life, and what joys do they have? Upfront I very much like when fics are focused on Bucky's Winter Soldier brainwashed self. I like when Bucky isn't himself and is only the Winter Soldier. However, if you the writer, would prefer to have Bucky remember himself I'm fine with that!
D. Bucky Barnes/ Jaqen H'ghar
This pairing is another curiosity one. For these two it comes from again the lack of personhood, of changing from one identity to another. Bucky it's from being himself to being the Winter Solder. Jaqen from whosever face he's wearing to someone else. I have no solid plot ideas for a fic with them.
E. Stiles Stilinski & Simon Monroe
I'm super curious to see what Stiles would make of Simon from In The Flesh! Whether that be Stiles in In The Flesh universe or Simon in Teen Wolf universe or even a mash-up of both is cool with me. Simon is so serious, so weighted down by his mission from the Undead Prophet, and yet he's also seeking love and belonging just like all the other PDS sufferers. He rebels against the label of monster put on him by society while battling his own demons. Stiles I believe would relate to that sense of isolation from what is normal and the demons he must deal with in the form of his mother's death, his dad's past alcoholism, the Nogitsune etc.
On a light hearted note I also just like the idea of Stiles being a smartass to Simon who can throw back a retort just as fast.
4. In The Flesh
A. Kieren Walker/Simon Monroe
My two precious babies. I love these two. What I love about In The Flesh is the somberness to the overall tone of the show shot through with bits of humor, love and happiness. lol it's not a happy show by any means but it tugs at my heartstrings nonetheless. I think it's from the fact that Kieren and everyone are trying to find their sense of belonging, of home, love and a new sense of life/purpose after coming back from the dead. I like that Kieren pushes back against Simon's proselytizing (Undead Prophet's brainwashing propaganda) and the way they each make the other look beyond their comfortable boundaries, forced to question themselves and their actions.
B. Kieren/Simon/Amy
I never want Amy to be alone lol. I smile at the thought of her getting to have the best of both worlds. Her best friend Kieren and her "husband" Simon. How Kieren and Simon would dote on Amy in return. One big circle of being cute. I'd also like exploration into them being vulnerable with each other both of their lives before they became the Undead and the traumas they have suffered when they arose from their graves. Amy with her leukemia, then Gary's attack that caused her to flee town. Kieren and his suicide, and when he arose killing his friend. Simon with his drug addiction, and afterwards him letting the researchers experiment on him and the horror of it.
I would love a cute fluffy fic with these three but honestly I'd be delighted with a more somber angsty hurt/comfort perspective because this show was never intended to be light-hearted cutesy.
C. Simon Monroe
More of an exploration on Simon as a person before and/or after he became the Undead. What was his life like when he was alive. How did he become a drug addict, his relationship with his mum and dad. Or otherwise his life after he was released from the treatment center. How his trust had been broken in the establishment after being cruelly experimented upon, physically opened up. How he fell into the sway of the Undead Prophet. How did he feel becoming the mouthpiece of the Undead Prophet? Did he take joy in recruiting others and preaching to them?
D. Amy Dyer
Beautiful sweet silly Amy. I want to know about her life before! What was her life like before she became a cancer patient, during, and after. What friends did she have, what were her goals and dreams? What was Amy's family life like (siblings? pets?), her dating life, her friends? Please go nuts with making Amy a whole life before her being Undead. Otherwise I'd be curious to see Amy's time in the treatment center and how she fared. Did she suffer the same treatment as Simon or was her treatment closer to Kieren's as more of a rehabiliation center? Her life in Roarton before she met Kieren.
5. Teen Wolf
A. Stiles/Peter/Derek
I love the snark between all three and love the idea of them all being a romantic relationship to bug the shit out of each other and have great sex. Anything to do with scent marking, scenting, heat cycles (but not A/B/O dynamics/no Stiles being an omega) nesting etc I would adore.
B. Stiles/Peter
Stiles and Peter as a couple amuses me. I believe they see each other as equals even though Stiles is only human compared to Peter being a werewolf. Peter respects Stiles' intelligence and cunning. In turn I think Stiles realizes there's more to Peter even if he is a murderous werewolf. With this pairing I'm totally down for dubcon.
C. Stiles & Allison Argent
I do wish their friendship had been developed more! I would have liked to have seen more interactions between Stiles and Allison. She seemed always just glued to Scott because love interest plotline.
D. Derek Hale/Allison Argent
This is yet another curiosity pairing. I've only never contemplated this pairing but I saw someone else request and I decided I would too. Do what you will with this one because I'm curious to see where this relationship would go!
E. Stiles Stilinski/Allison Argent
lol I would also like to see these two be a romantic couple!
6. Hannibal
A. Hannibal/Will Graham
I love the shitshow that is this couple. I both love Will in season 1 when he is a fragile fucking mess losing his mind and Hannibal's over here pushing him closer and closer to the edge. Season 2 gets me with all the angst and the finale will forever leave me crushed.
7. Kim’s Convenience
A. Mr "Appa" Kim/Mrs. "Umma" Kim
Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim are so precious I want to cry. I love the realness to their relationship. They love each other, they're committed, they embody being a couple with their ups and downs. Their petty jealousies, their arguments, and in the end working matters out between them or at least compromising. I'd really like to see them have a shared hobby or Mr. Kim goes with Mrs. Kim to something she really loves because she wants him there to enjoy it/try it out too or vice versa.
B. Shannon Ross/Jung Kim
I will admit uuuugh at the plot of Jung only starting to like Shannon once she's taken by another man. However, Shannon's sweet, dorky funny awkwardness is so cute and silly. She tries so hard to be relatable and careful of everyone's feelings. I'd like to see where their relationship goes.
(I haven't finished s2 so I'm in the dark if and when they get together).
8. The Magicians
A. Quentin/Eliot
B. Quentin/Eliot/Margo
Eliot and Margo shamelessly teasing and messing with Quentin gives me life. Getting to see them do this in and outside the bedroom would be excellent.
C. Eliot & Margo
I love Eliot and Margo's friendship! They seem so well matched and anything with them hanging out together would make me very happy.
9. Labyrinth
A. Jareth/Sarah
Getting to see Sarah return to the Labyrinth as a grown woman or Jareth having some reason to come Aboveground is something I'd like to see. I want to see what maturity and more life experience does for Sarah. I've always been curious if Jareth ever has any family, or friends or simply anyone else to have in his life. What about pets and hobbies when he's not being summoned to steal away children?
I don't like the fics where Sarah doesn't remember the Labyrinth or otherwise acts as if it never happened. She spent her childhood and teenage years wanting to live in a fantasy world I find it hard to believe that after all she went through she'd pretend her adventures, her friends and Jareth were never real.
10. Bob’s Burgers
A. Tina & Louise & Gene
I love these three and their relationship with one another. I very much identify with Tina lol. I was her as a teen myself. Anything cute or funny with these three would be nice! Even if you wanted to write a more serious toned fic would be fine! Really anything with them bonding or showing more of the ups and downs of their sibling relationship.
B. Bob/Linda
I am amused as all get out by Linda and I always wondered what drew Bob to her. I haven't watched every single season of Bob's Burgers so if it's explained in canon I'm not familiar. I am happy to have fanon explanations as to why Bob was interested in Linda. I'd enjoy getting to see them dating, and/or first married before babies, and/or when the kids are all still small babies/toddlers.
C. Bob & Linda & Tina & Louise & Gene
Give me all the family feels with them! Happy, silly, angsty, angry - any and all of it! What I love about this show is that it doesn't just show the good times, but the irritating, the sad, the ups and downs of family life and life in general.
Dear Wordbuilder Letter 2021
Jan. 4th, 2021 01:52 amHello! I hope the start of 2021 has been treating you good unlike 2020's chaos.
Thank you for writing for me!
Here's my ao3 withinmelove
My tumblr withinmeloveresides1
Do Not Want: Sounding, piss play, scat, daddy kink, ageplay, rimming, unhappy ending, unrequited love, drug use, soulmate fic, bestiality
Optional Ships: Kieren Walker/Simon Monroe, Kieren Walker/Simon Monroe/Amy Dyer
*Drug use of Undead medicine is fine in this fandom
I really would love to see what this character is like. Either what he was like before he became the Undead Prophet or his time as the Undead Prophet. How did he come to be this cult leader? What decisions or experiences lead him to taking up this cause? He seems to have a relationship of sorts with Simon. Why did he pick Simon over others for the mission he is doing in seeking out the first Risen?
Wordbuilding Request B: Amy's time in the Undead Prophet group
My heart cries for Amy when she decides to leave Roarton after Gary assaulted her. I'd love to see her experiences within the Undead Prophet group since in the show it's clear she's made friends and also completely infatuated with Simon when we see her again. Getting to see her when she first arrives, starts warming up and finally fully embracing the family and acceptance she's been wanting, been seeking in this new life as the Undead.
Worldbuilding Request C: A look at Simon's life before he became the Undead
I know in canon that Simon speaks about the fact he was a drug addict and pretty much his life wasn't pretty. I wouldn't mind that being explored more or even Simon growing up and how his life lead up to either his addiction and/or through it to when he dies.
Worldbuilding Request D: Undead sexuality and/or sex life
Really what it says on the tin. I would really like if this focused on Simon and/or Amy's sex life/sexuality seeing as they seem the most open and casual with it versus Kieren.
Worldbuilding Request E: Amy's experience in the treatment facility
We see in canon both Kieren and Simon's time in the treatment facility as they're getting medicated and prepped to return to outside life. Please, please, please I'd kill to see what Amy's experience was like. Was she her usual optimistic self about it, what trauma did she suffer when she awoke as a PDS sufferer in the facility? How did she cope within the facility and how did she handle being prepped to be released back out into the real world as a PDS sufferer with no support system?
Optional Ships: Jareth/Sarah
I'd love to see Jareth growing up as royalty! Either as Fae or as a fair-faced Goblin lol. It would be fun to see Jareth's family here.
Wordbuilding Request B: Jareth and the Labyrinth's bond
I'm curious of how much of a bond Jareth has with the Labyrinth. I admit I'm a sucker for the fics where the Labyrinth is near sentient and/or their bind is tied in with Jareth's life/health. I love that symbiotic balance take.
Worldbuilding Request C: The Labyrinth
I'm curious on the Labyrinth itself. How it came to be, how it maintains itself, what it does etc
Worldbuilding Request D: Fae society
Assuming Jareth is part of the Fae I love fics that explore the society filling in more of the Underground with creatures besides what we see in the movie.
Worldbuilding Request E: Effects of humans on Labyrinth and the Goblin King
I like to think that humans do affect the Labyrinth and the Goblin King to a certain extent.
Optional Ships: Eames/Arthur, Eames/Ariadne/Arthur, Arthur/Ariadne, Eames/Robert Fischer
Worldbuilding Request A: Side Effects of Forging
Pretty much what kind of side effects would dream-workers suffer from forging? In the movie it's clear that too much time spent dreamsharing can mess with the perception of reality. Does this mean hallucinations both visual and/or auditory are a thing?
Worldbuilding Request B: Side effects of PASIV usage
I can see the regular use of the sedative within the PASIV massively fucking up dream-workers' ability to sleep as well as dream. What other negative side effects may crop up?
Worldbuilding Request C: Arthur and Eames' relationship
This one I feel is quite obvious lol. I'd love for this to be a shippy prompt if you the writer are comfortable with that. It's funny to me to watch them bicker, snark and fuck with one another, but at critical moments have one another's backs. Either exploring how their friendship/or professional relationship started and developed or looking at how they've developed such a connection with one another.
Worldbuilding Request D: Robert Fischer's mental state after the inception
This prompt is one where I love seeing Robert crack at the seams after the inception. I mean in canon Mal commits suicide from the inception that Dom does to her. I feel like too what false feedback they put in Robert's mind of his own father as a more sympathetic character erases the actual harsh, cold father Maurice comes across in the one childhood memory Robert shares (unknowingly) with Eames.
This doesn't have to be full on melt-down of insanity but perhaps from the anxiety of the wrongness of this implanted idea of his dad subconsciously Robert develops OCD to cope with the anxiety this provokes in him?
Optional ships: Harry Potter/Hermione Granger
Worldbuilding Request A: Hogwarts being a sentient castle
I love the thought of Hogwarts being aware and sentient of what's going in and outside of itself (maybe just to the boundaries of the magical grounds of the school?). It having moods and having favorites with students and faculty over the years. Really just a look into how much self-awareness the castle has.
Worldbuilding Request B: Hogwarts faculty
I'd enjoy seeing how the Hogwarts faculty goes about living at Hogwarts year-round. Do they have late night hang-outs with their coworkers, any issues they might have with privacy and/or separation of work and personal time since they live at their workplace. Do they have a detailed knowledge of the various routes inside of Hogwarts (are they as knowledgeable as the Weasley twins?) or if not, do they not care to explore the castle? What are their favorite spots to chill in when they're not teaching or being professors.
Worldbuilding Request C: Magical Features of Hogwarts Castle
I'd enjoy seeing what other magical features the Hogwarts Castle has! Are all the features put in by the headmaster or have some students over the many, many years added their own touches to the castle?
Worldbuilding Request D: Hagrid's life and interest in magical dangerous creatures
I'd really like to see more background into Hagrid's life with his dad. I certainly would enjoy seeing his time at Hogwarts too before he got expelled, however, his home life before his Hogwarts time would be very lovely to see.
Worldbuilding Request E: Squibs and their relationship with their families
I'd be curious to see how wizarding parents cope with having a non-magical child. How much does it mean to them to have a child who can't interact with the magical community in the same way they, the parents, can? How do they adjust to a child with no magic within them?
Worldbuilding Request F: House elf history before bonding with humans
This is definitely a prompt of what it says on the tin. Just what was it like for house elves before the bonding with wizarding families? Did they call themselves house elves? What was their magical abilities like before the binding? What lead to the house elves choosing to entwine themselves so closely into the lives of the witches and wizards and what lead to them being so objected?
Worldbuilding Request G: Cultures of nonhuman magical beings and/or magical beasts
I think this would be quite the interesting prompt! Whatever magical creatures you'd like to pick!
Optional Ships:
Worldbuilding Request A: Yubaba and Zeniba's life growing up
I'd like to see exploration of their relationship as magical siblings especially as twins, if that holds any special power within the spirit realm. Has their relationship always been rocky between them? Have they always been estranged from one another? What perhaps caused this lack of familial love between them?
Worldbuilding Request B: The Radish Spirit
He's such a freaking adorable creature. I'd love to learn more about him and how he came into being. What does he get up to as the Radish spirit?
Worldbuilding Request C: Kamajii's life
What it says on the tin
Worldbuilding Request D: How Yubaba's bathhouse contract works/the spells or magic behind it
Pretty self-explanatory on this prompt.
Worldbuilding Request E: How the bathhouse and spirit market came into existence
Worldbuilding Request F: Festivals in the spirit realm
Optional Ships: Geralt/Jaskier, Geralt/Triss, Geralt & Triss, Geralt/Jaskier/Triss
Worldbuilding A: School of the Cat
Worldbuilding B: Private customs and jokes among Witchers
Worldbuilding C: Oxenfurt
More Jaskier in his hometown exploration?
Worldbuilding D: Interactions between Witcher schools
YES TO MORE VARIOUS WITCHER INTERACTIONS!! I am so fucking down for this. I am in love with meta and worldbuilding on how the various Witchers from different schools view one another. Positive, negative, neutral etc.
Chocolate Box Letter 2021
Dec. 23rd, 2020 10:23 pmHere's my ao3 withinmelove
My tumblr withinmeloveresides1
-------------
Likes: Holiday fics (Christmas, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Easter, Halloween etc), first time smut, smut or erotica, cuddling, slice of life/domesticity, found family, sex pollen, cuddling for warmth trope/forced bedsharing, vacation fic, bakery AU, college AU, magic, crossover fics (with the listed fandoms), no-powers AU, I adore height and size difference between characters whenever possible, emotional intimacy
Do Not Want: Sounding, piss play, scat, daddy kink, ageplay, rimming, unhappy ending, unrequited love, drug use, kid-fic (in which the characters have kids of their own/or are kids themselves*), soulmate fic, bestiality
*Spirited Away gets a pass on the kid-fic because Chihiro herself is still a child.
1. Spirited Away
A. Haku/Chihiro
I love their friendship and how they protective of one another. I would very much love a fic where Chihiro decides to live in the spirit realm when she's an adult. It's always appealed to me how she would navigate the spirit realm as a human living there versus when she's a kid trying to get out.
If she got to see the others that'd be great too! Really a fic where these two get to connect as adults.
B. Chihiro & Rin
The sweetness of Rin towards Chihiro has always been so endearing to me. Rin is prickly but obviously has a very gentle exterior. I'd be curious to see a fic where Rin eventually does get to leave the bathhouse! Perhaps does Chihiro manage to help Rin learn her real name?
C. Kamaji & Rin
Anything that explores these twos relationship would be great. It always made me laugh as a kid at how fondly exasperated by Kamaji that Rin is. Do they ever get to interact outside of the boiler room? What are coworker ties between like within the bathhouse? It's obvious there are petty power plays and cliques but what about the friendly, nice other colleagues?
D. Yubaba & Zeniba
The relationship between the twin sisters very much interests me. How did it get to the point it did in the movie where they seem to be estranged. Or in another direction what were they like as children/teens/young adults? Were they ever business partners when they were first starting out on their own in the world?
E. No Face & Zeniba
Some cute fluff times between No Face and Zeniba would be precious. Maybe she calms a rage of No Face's? She seems familiar with No Face's kind, I'm curious as to how she is.
2. The Ancient Magus' Bride
A. Elias Ainsworth/Chise Hatori
I love their relationship! For me it's how they grow as people and as a couple of sorts. They have their miscommunications, their stubbornness, the eventual discussions of how they're feeling at the same time that they clearly love one another, that they are protective and find happiness in being around one another. Anything that touches upon the realistic aspects of their relationship would please me very much.
+for Elias picking Chise up and carrying her around
++Elias calling Chise puppy
I'm totally down for smut with these two (presuming Elias is at least semi-human for it). Or even foreplay that stops before smut.
B. Chise Hatori/Marielle
I enjoyed what I saw of Marielle. I would have liked to see her interact with Chise more. Maybe her educating Chise more on what it's like being a witch? Marielle's like the more worldly friend to Chise's not always well-informed self.
3. Howl's Moving Castle (movie)A. Howl/Sophie
I love, love their relationship. They fuss at each other but when it comes down to it they love and support one another. Anything from my likes column used here works great for me. Haha maybe a sex potion (pollen) blows up in Howl's face.
Seeing their life in the hat shop too would be enjoyable. Sophie showing Howl around her hometown. How does she feel about being back where she grew up now with a completely different life and knowledge of the world?
Does the curse ever still rears its head for Sophie?
B. Howl & Madame Suliman
I would love to see a slice of life between these two from either of their perspectives. I'm curious what Madame Suliman was like as a mentor, what Howl thought of her classes as he was going through them, what he did or didn't learn from her. How she viewed him, maybe her own life experiences as a witch and how she'd come to be a teacher while also working for the King.
C. Calcifer & The Castle
I think it'd be cute to see Calcifer commiserating with the castle on how much work they have to do. Maybe a before and after the castle becomes a flying one of Calcifer and the Castle groaning about how much work it is doing Howl's bidding.
4. Labyrinth
A. Sarah/Jareth
*If there's any smut going to happen please have Sarah aged up to be 18.
I'm so down for a fic where either Sarah goes back to the Labyrinth or Jareth goes to the human world. I feel like Sarah would hold onto her friends she made in the Labyrinth. I admit I don't like the plots where she outgrows them or they no longer speak to her as much. I really want Sarah to maintain a steady friendship with Ludo, Hoggle and Sir. Didamus.
I've always been curious if Jareth ever grew as a person once Sarah defeats him in the Labyrinth. By the end of the movie she doesn't toss around the phrase "it's not fair!". She learns she's able to help herself, she's not the victim all the time when things don't turn out right. How does Jareth change as a person after she vanquishes him, refusing to give up herself to him?
I'm here for Sarah and Jareth having their usual bickering back and forth, soft gentle moments between them when Jareth perhaps opens up more to her.
Really anything slice of life between these two would be lovely. If a holiday fic is possible I'd love to see either Valentine's Day or Halloween used. I know the stereotypical ones picked but I love them.
B. Goblins & Jareth
Exploration of the relationship Jareth has with his goblins he rules over! How did he come to be the Goblin King? How does he feel about it and about his subjects? Perhaps how do the goblins feel about him as their king?
C. Jareth & the Labyrinth
I've always been curious about Jareth's relationship with the Labyrinth. I adore the fics where the Labyrinth is a sentient being that interacts with both Jareth and the creatures that live within it, around it and close by. Delving into Jareth's connection with it, whether he was born with a connection or it formed over time. Maybe how the Labyrinth itself came to be.
5. Deadpool (movies)
A. Nathan Summer/Wade Wilson
Nathan and Wade's antagonistic relationship with one another brings me life. Nathan's growling irritation towards Wade's relentless cheeriness and sarcastic quips. At the same time when they expose their vulnerabilities to each other makes me squeal in delight. Wade fangirling over Nathan's body would make me very happy.
B. Domino/Wade Wilson
Domino is the best fucking character. She's hilarious and her self-confidence is so awesome to see. I'd really enjoy seeing her relationship and friendship with Wade develop. Looking into how she came to be so lucky.
C. Domino/Nathan summers/Wade Wilson
This is my excuse of wanting all three funny people together. All of them have suffered trauma, angst, and loss of a loved one. I want to see them develop as a couple and as individuals.
6. Inception
A. Arthur/Eames
Much like with Wade and Nathan in regards to Arthur/Eames I love their snark with one another. Getting to know how they knew one another whether it was before being in the dreamsharing career or during it.
I am so freaking here for domesticity scenes with Arthur and Eames. I am very weak for them being gentle and soft for one another. Certainly, I'd be down for them sharing dreams with one another or seeing more dreamsharing jobs that they're on together.
B. Ariadne/Arthur/Eames
I like the relationship that Eames and Arthur have along with Arthur and Ariadne. I do wish that Eames and Ariadne had, had more time to get to know one another. lol so in conclusion I'd love to see all three together. This one I don't have particular prompts for. Really slice of life or more dreamsharing jobs is good. I would love to see Eames in his top form of flirting with both Ariadne and Arthur!
C. Eames/Robert Fischer
This is a rare pair that I really love. I dunno why but I'm very drawn to Eames and Robert. I've seen some great takes on how Eames becomes romantically involved with Robert. What interests me with this couple is the stark differences between them or so it appears. Robert being a high powered business man that seems very collected, very put together. Eames, on the other hand, is an illegal dream thief who seems to live his life on the fly and with no sense of fashion.
D. Ariadne/Arthur
I also would love, love to see these two as a couple. They would be two cute fashion icons together.
E. Ariadne/Eames
Really any prompt with Eames is my excuse in wanting to see him flirt outrageously with the other person. I'd be interested in how Eames and Ariadne stay in touch after the Fischer job. Does Ariadne go on any more jobs with Eames?
F. Arthur/Eames/Robert Fischer
Pretty much what it says on the tin. Exploring their relationship as a threesome.
G. Ariadne/Eames/Robert Fischer
Another what's on the tin sort of prompt lol
7. Kim's Convenience
A. Mr. Kim/Mrs. Kim
Watching Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim interact gives my soul the warm fuzzies and laughter. The way they interact as a couple seems quite real. They love each other at the same time they can and do irritate and upset one another. It's very wholesome the complexity of their characters are as people and together as a couple. I've only seen season 1 so far but I'd really love seeing more fics on them first dating before they had kids. Or if you want to include the kids I'd like exploring their lives as a couple with two young babies to care for.
B. Janet Kim & Jung Kim
These two are such cute siblings to one another. This whole show writes the family's dynamic great! Anything with these two spending time together will make me happy.
C. Therese & Mr. Kim
Once again I've only seen the whole first season (working on the second season now) and so far I've not seen Therese show up again yet. I think it'd be quite funny to see Therese introduce Mr. Kim (maybe Mrs. Kim too?) to the drag queen scene. Maybe urge him to try it out?
D. Shannon Ross/Jung Kim
Shannon's crush on Jung throughout the first season has my heart melting. She's such a well-meaning person who accidentally puts her foot in her mouth at times from nerves and I find that precious. I've not yet seen season 2 and 3 so if in canon their relationship happens then don't mind me lol. Still anything cute with these two would highly please me.
Big thing is I'd love for Shannon to meet Mr. and Mrs. Kim. Or otherwise I'd be very happy with Jung meeting Shannon's family.
8. Game of Thrones
A. Sansa Stark/Sandor Clegane
Oh man destroy me with my love of Sansan. I love the striking differences between Sansa and Sandor. Her gentleness, her sweetness for the longest time, etc. What I love about Sansa in fics is her learning to stand on her own two feet and in the books she starts to understand the world. In turn although Sandor is coarse, brutal and honest to the point of cruelty I do love his character. The way he changes over the course of the books and the tv show (I've only seen to the start of s4 but I've read all the books of the main series).
Really a big thing for me with this pairing in regards to their physical differences is their height and size difference.
+++for Sandor picking Sansa up throughout the fic whenever possible. I can't get enough of him doing that.
9. Knives Out
A. Benoit Blanc/Marta Cabrera
Benoit's suave sophistication totally makes me swoon. That thick honeyed Southern accent makes me laugh. I appreciate how he's protective of Marta in the movie when the family starts ganging up on her. Marta's sweetness, her gentleness and her strong will are what drew me to her as a character. I liked that she didn't let Harlan's money or fame sway her. She treated him like a friend and made sure she did her job of looking after him.
If you'd like to write a case fic that's cool. However, I don't really have a strong wish for one. More slice of life would be enjoyable for me.
B. Marta/Ransom
I admit I'm usually not into this pairing namely for the power dynamics at play. However, I feel that Marta would give Ransom a run for his money nor would she let herself be bullied by him. Just like she doesn't let the rest of Harlan's family push her around. Please do not write any sort of fic with rape in regards to their pairing's sex life.
I am happy to get smut! But please no rape or creepy Ransom towards Marta for sex.
10. The Witcher (tv)
A. Geralt/Jaskier
For me this is another ship that I love their personality difference and their size difference! I find it the cutest thing that Jaskier is chatty and Geralt is pretty much to himself. I feel this pairing is an excellent choice in having Jaskier draw Geralt out of his shell. The scene in the tv show where Jaskier sasses Geralt "oh you just let strangers rub chamomile on that lovely bum, hm?" made me squeal. I certainly would enjoy more scenes where Jaskier convinces Geralt he needs to dress up for some event or another.
Even though Geralt is prickly and wants to live his life killing monsters he does have a gentle heart. More scenes where he gets to express that would be nice!
B. Cirilla & Geralt
I've read the books so I'm aware of Cirilla's relationship with Geralt in there but I'd be curious to see how that translates to their TV counterparts. Does tv show Geralt warm up to her as much or is he as stand-offish towards her as he is everyone he first encounters? In turn would Cirilla trust him after all that she's been through?

*Please age Chise up to 18
Prompts:
A. Getting to see Elias celebrate various holidays with Chise. It'd be sweet to see Silver and Ruth involved too in the holiday preparations.
B. Anything that involves Elias carrying Chise around. Maybe a 5 Times Elias carried Chise and 1 Time he didn't? I'm a sucker for 5 Times A Thing Happened, 1 Time It Didn't.
C. More slice of life stuff between Chise, Elias, Ruth and Silver. I'd love to see Elias being sweet and calling Chise various endearments (such as little puppy at the beginning of the manga) and maybe Chise trying to find a cute nickname for him too. How physically affectionate Elias is with Chise melts my heart.
D. Elias bathing Chise! This can be a lead into smut/or after smut, or just a simple thing of Chise over-extended herself with the magic and is too weak on her own to bathe herself.
E. Elias is always so well dressed and looks so sharp in his outfits. A fun prompt of him taking Chise shopping for clothes. Day clothes, formal outfits, PJs, lingerie. Any and everything. He loves to spoil his beloved woman.
2. Harry Potter - J.K Rowling
Relationship: Hermione Granger/Harry Potter
Do Not Want: Ron-Bashing, Dumbledore-bashing
Prompts:
A. Some canon breaking that Hermione stays at Hogwarts for Christmas so Harry, Hermione and Ron get to celebrate it together. The games they play together, visiting Hagrid, Christmas feast and opening presents. Maybe confession of feelings to each other?
B. A deleted scenes type thing with Hermione spending more time with Harry. They both do the hobbies the other likes for the sake of spending time together. Harry takes Hermione on a small broom ride around the grounds, Hermione teaches Harry how to knit, maybe they both try the school's book club together?
C. Some good ol' smut between these two. Bonus points for explicit discussion of consent and protection.
D. I'd really, really like to see the last year of Harry and Hermione at Hogwarts after the battle of Hogwarts. How Harry and Hermione are coping with Voldemort's final death, the partial destruction of Hogwarts, grieving those lost, and trying to be normal students in their 7th year. I wish the book would have explored the final year at Hogwarts.
E. Harry and Hermione after they graduate Hogwarts deciding to move in together. Does Harry decide to get a pet cat after the death of Hedwig? Slice of life of them living together and all that entails.
3. Marvel Cinematic Universe
Relationship: Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers
DNW: Pre-serum/skinny Steve
Prompts:
A. Smut is good with these two. I like to think the different serum that Steve and Bucky got have made them quite sensitive in their erogenous zones.
B. I am a sucker for the found family trope in the Avengers universe. The whole team getting to hang out and really get to know each other as people.
C. One of my favorite ideas with Bucky is that after the brainwashing to become the Winter Soldier he's still a pretty feral, mute Soldier even after he escapes from Hydra. Aka he's got severe PTSD and is in need of some serious nuturing and reassurance of being safe.
D. A cute idea that Steve and Bucky make Thanksgiving for the Avengers team. I imagine everyone would have huge appetites.
4. Hannibal
Relationship: Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter
Prompts:
A. Hannibal gets a cat and Will is very surprised by this. How Will feels about this being a dog-lover and his relationship with Hannibal's new cat.
B. I can see Hannibal just having a fucking ball decorating for every single holiday that puts out any sort of decorations in stores. The man presents a decadent meal every time he has someone over or not for dinner. Hannibal is all about being extra and I feel this would be true in both decorating his house, Will's house, and in the gifts he'd buy Will.
C. CLOTHES SHOPPING! I will die on the hill of Hannibal dressing Will up and in return Will dressing Hannibal down in soft, comfy clothes.
D. Massage smut anyone?

A. I'm just really on a kick of couples dressing up their significant other. Please. I need more in the form of Eliot doing this to Quentin.
B. Give me slow burn these two goofs falling in love.
C. Margo's attitude is just great. I love how she bosses both Eliot and Quentin around. How much Eliot clearly doesn't mind and in fact enjoys it. Quentin often just seems along for the ride. Maybe her bossing them around in the bedroom?
6. The Man From U.N.C.L.E (2015)

A. Destroy me with some manhandling between Illya and Napoleon. I love Illya's size.

Fandoms
1. In The Flesh
*Kieren Walker, Amy Dyer, Simon Monroe, Sue Walker (I don’t need Sue Walker to be included in all the prompts. I do want Kieren, Amy and Simon included in any prompts)
Kieren, Amy and Simon’s friendship brings me so much joy so more exploration and scenes with those 3 would be fantastic.
In The Flesh as the show really drew me in because of the often somber atmosphere shot through with threads of happiness and joy. All the characters came across as if they could be real people not just wooden tv characters. The heavy religious overtones in the show and especially with Simon were super appealing to me for the cultish, mystical feeling both gave off (in regards to Roarton’s religious themes and the Undead Prophet).
A playlist I compiled that gives me ITF vibes: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6A9AgwfupyI5fLb2Ju78io?si=P2uz4bBNShGeYkfZOKqEfQ
I would prefer the canon relationship between Kieren and Simon. However, if you the YT writer want to, I’d be interested in seeing a poly relationship between Kieren/Amy/Simon in any of the prompts, if that also strikes your fancy.
Prompt Suggestions:
A) Simon, Amy, and Kieren celebrating the holidays or birthdays together with Kieren’s family. I can see Sue (Kieren’s mum) being the one who invites Amy and Simon over. Whatever holiday or whosever birthday. I like to imagine Sue would want to celebrate both Amy and Simon’s birthdays because their lack of family.
B) Fix it fic where Amy isn’t killed at the end of the show and she becomes a living person again. Exploring what that’s like for her to no longer be seen as part of the Undead. How does she cope with no longer identifying with the Undead, with her once-again mortality of being alive. Amy coming to terms with the scarring on her body not just from her cancer treatment, but others that have collected while she was Undead and her body’s skin obviously doesn’t heal itself. How do Kieren and Simon feel about this. Maybe Sue invites Amy to her therapy group that she and the other mums attended about having Undead family members return to them?
C) Found family for Simon and Amy with Kieren. Maybe they all end up living together? (Sue does not need to be included in this prompt)
D) Exploring Sue’s relationship with Kieren. How they spend their time together and maybe them both sharing family memories together. I feel like Kieren has a closer relationship to his mum.
!10/26/2020 ITF can be found on Hulu (in the US)!
2. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (anime)
*Batou, Togusa, Kusanagi Motoko, Tachikomas (not all of these characters need to be used in every prompt. Pick and choose who you want to write as desired)
The camaraderie between everyone in Section 9 was a big reason why I loved this show. How they could snipe and joke with one another but also have deep revealing conversations was what drew me into the characters. Also Androids are cool. The ability to shed one body and take on another. Sharing the mind connections because of the technology in the show.
The Tachikomas were absolutely adore anything, anything with them involved would be fantastic.
I’m down for a poly relationship between Batou/Togusa/Motoko. I’m happy with Batou/Togusa or Batou/Motoko.
Prompt Suggestions:
A) What do the Tachikomas get up to when they’re left at Section 9 at night or when there’s no mission that requires them. I really liked the Tachikoma that was always reading (like how did she get her books, who gave them to her, why did she choose books versus digitally downloading the info etc) and how she discovered reading. Otherwise the Tachikoma that is affectionately attached to Batou is super adorable. How she became attached to him, maybe how the Tachikomas view each member of Section 9 as riders within them? Do they prefer or dislike any of the members riding in them? (Batou, Togusa, and Motoko do not need to be included in this prompt)
B) Domesticity between Togusa, Batou and Motoko whether while on the job or all at home relaxing for once. Poly pairing here works or pairing Batou/Togusa or Batou/Motoko.
C) Body shopping for Batou and/Motoko? Batou mentions in the show Motoko could have taken on a man’s form instead of a woman’s. In canon Motoko showed her disdain of Batou’s ribbing on a female Android’s body not being as sturdy as a male shaped one. (Togusa and Tachikomas do not need to be included in this prompt)
D) Any of the characters celebrating the holidays or birthdays together. Maybe Batou’s Tachikoma wants to celebrate her “birthday” and begs Batou to let them throw a party for her and the other Tachikomas’ birthdays. Or Valentine’s Day between the poly of Batou/Togusa/Motoko. Is Togusa the romantic and Batou and Motoko indulge him because of how much he enjoys the consumer holiday. (Pick whatever characters you want to be included in this prompt, any of the team members in Section 9 are fine by me to be included)
3. Sense8
*Wolfgang, Lito, Amanita, Sun (not all of these characters need to be used in every prompt. Pick and choose as desired)
Once again as my previous two fandoms what draws me is the family + friendship dynamic between the sensate group. I admit the characters listed are my favorites. This show is the definition of found family and I’m wrecked emotionally by how amazing it is. The smut, the platonic love, the romantic parts, the support during the scary, hardships are so my jam.
Wolfgang appeals to me for the fact he’s a badass with a lot of emotional baggage. He tries his best to be cold but he gets so attached to his cluster in the end. Lito, I enjoy because he’s a drama queen pure and simple. At the same time he’s sweet and caring. Amanita is my favorite woman on the show because of her hilarity, her caring, her fierce protectiveness, and her point blank acceptance of the cluster when Nomi reveals what’s going on. Sun, I admire for her cool, calm exterior, how disciplined she is as a person in direct opposition to Wolfgang, who I feel, is very quick tempered and impulsive.
The way everyone finds their way to connect with each other whether on purpose or not.
Prompt Suggestions:
A) This is fandom where I’m down for smut with any of the pairings. The orgies in the show are great. I’d really love to see Wolfgang/Lito fooling around. Hint: I would love if it follows a similar pattern as to the work-out orgie that happens in the first season. I squealed in delight at the scene where Lito kisses Will. (Use all the characters I’ve listed or not)
B) In the show I was thoroughly entertained by Lito having to deal with Sun’s period. I think it’s only right getting to see Sun affecting Wolfgang with her period too. Cue both Lito and Wolfgang looking up ways to soothe their phantom symptoms from Sun and nagging her to take care of herself.
C) Exploring more of Amanita’s relationship with her mom and her own group of friends outside of Nomi and the cluster. What is Amanita like when she’s not helping Nomi with the cluster?
!10/26/2020 Sense8 can be found on Netflix (in the US)!
4. Knives Out
*Harlan Thrombey, Marta Cabrera, Benoit Blanc, Meg Thrombey, Ransom Thrombey, Linda Thrombey, Richard Thrombey (not all of these characters need to be used in every prompt. Pick and choose as desired)
Okay this movie I loved for how dysfunctional the family is. Everyone is so rich with their various flaws, motives and traits. I really liked Harlan and Marta’s close friendship. I do wish Nana (Harlan’s mom) had been more explored as a character but it makes sense why she wasn’t. I would have loved to have seen Benoit’s friendship with Marta develop too. It was so sweet how protective he was of her.
Do Not Want: Harlan Thrombey/Marta Cabrera. Or Marta Cabrera/Ransom. (I am fine if she has a crush on him or him to her but no serious relationship).
Prompt Suggestions:
A) I admit I totally would enjoy Benoit Blanc/Marta Cabrera. I would enjoy them as a couple however I’d take them as developing a closer friendship too. Really, I’d like to see these two hanging out together. If you the writer want them to have solve cases that’s cool but I don’t need it. (Meg, Linda, Richard, Ransom and Harlan don’t have to be used in this prompt if you don’t want to)
B) Does Harlan ever get to meet Marta’s family? Maybe she invites him over for dinner with them? Or him and Marta going out for day activities? Pretty much a slice of life type of fic with these two. (Benoit, Ransom, and Meg don’t have to be involved in this prompt if you don’t want to use them)
C) I’d be down for a fic that digs into Ransom’s life growing up. Obviously as an adult he has hostile feelings towards his mom and dad. How did things devolve to such a situation? It’s clear that Richard, Ransom’s dad, has a good deal of anger towards his son too. Ransom’s relationship with his grandfather Harlan too. Getting to see the debates and fights they get into together. Perhaps how Harlan enabled Ransom’s behavior, whether on purpose or well intentioned. (Marta, Benoit, and Meg don’t need to be involved in this prompt). Really looking into why and how Ransom grew up to be such an entitled prick in the movie. Does he ever have any soft, sweet moments even with the overall arrogant behavior.
5. Mononoke-hime - Princess Mononoke
*San, Lady Eboshi, Kaya, Toki (not all of these characters need to be used in every prompt. Pick and choose as desired)
What caught my interest with this movie is both the fantasy elements of it and Ashitaka himself. Lady Eboshi was an interesting character for her callous heart towards the forest spirits/sprites etc at the same time she took in lepers and bought prostitutes to free them from a life of forced sex work. The Forest God was amazing and utterly eerie and haunting. The Kodama are my absolute favorites they’re so sweet and cute.
Prompt suggestions:
A) A reunion between San and Ashitaka!!! I would love to see them come back together, check in. Definitely want San/Ashitaka pairing here. Smut or not is fine with me.
B) What interests me is seeing a fic about Ashitaka and Kaya’s life as an Emishi Prince and Princess. I really love world and lore building so please go crazy with this if you so wish. I’d like to see the village life and Kaya’s life as a Princess too.
D) Lady Eboshi’s life being explored before and during Iron Town before Ashitaka shows up. How she developed such empathy and social justice for the lepers and prostitutes.
6. Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakush - Spirited Away
*Chihiro, Haku, Lin (not all of these characters need to be used in every prompt. Pick and choose as desired)
This movie is my second favorite from childhood. Howl’s Moving Castle is first. I was so inspired and awed as a kid and teen by the fantasy, mystical beings and world created by this movie. Exploration of the mystical side of Spirited Away would be fantastic.
Prompt Suggestions:
A) Chihiro and Haku’s reunion. I admit I love the idea of Chihiro going back to the bath house to see everyone a few years later. Or I’d like to see Haku, now that he has his name back, going to visit Chihiro. I would love a plot line where Chihiro stays in the spirit realm maybe after she goes to college? She decides that the human world isn’t for her, not after how exciting and fantastical the spirit side is.
B) I think it would be neat to see Haku’s life before the bath house and his time during it before Chihiro appears. Maybe looking at his relationship with Kamaji the boiler man? It’s clear from the movie that Kamaji was familiar enough with Haku to be able to tell when he changed after Yubaba started controlling him.
C) Lin’s life (and worldbuilding) before the bath house. What pushed her into going there to get a job? Exploring the hierarchy within the bath house. It seems like it’s not based only on seniority but the very type of creature you are. Chihiro was on the bottom of the totem pole simply for the fact she was human. Where does Lin rank? Does she have a family she left behind etc? Please go nuts with worldbuilding here for Lin and her life.
D) Worldbuilding fic of the Spirited Away world on the spirit side. Use any of the characters in this prompt as you want to or not. I really love, love worldbuilding fics.
