Dear Trick or Treat Author,

Thank you for writing something for me! I love this time of year and the holidays it brings. Cool weather approaching, winter approaching, and all the cozy and creepy things. ... I didn't mean for that to rhyme, but we'll go with it. Anyway, I have a pretty standard set of likes/dislikes included in my letter that I include in almost all of them. Then, I'll give you some specific prompts and any specific likes/dislikes for each fandom request.

AO3: failsafe

Likes: canon-typical violence, missing scenes, UST, emotional ambiguity, found families, developing or established relationships, time travel, pre-canon, post-canon, bedsharing, loyalty, worldbuilding, epistolary/journal/log fiction, monster-of-the-week / slice of ordinary life adventures, earned second chances, dealing with consequences, "what if" / canon divergent AUs, earned happy endings, holidays, casefic, groundhog day trope, mysteries, healing, survival (wilderness, zombie apocalypse, etc.), last stands, trying against impossible odds, succeeding against impossible odds, heartfelt goodbyes, unexpected reunions, foils

Dislikes: character bashing towards anybody, noncon, explicit gore, breathplay, serious or permanent injury related to sexuality, nihilism, hopeless endings (but sad is okay)

For all fandoms, I have selected nominated character tags for focal characters I'd like to see, but I'm happy with any and all combinations of supporting characters. If you would like to do ship-fic, I will include a list of the ships I'd like to see. However, I am equally happy with gen or something in-between. I am happy with all ratings unless noted for a specific prompt. If I indicate that I'd like to have smutty fic, I prefer to let the characters dictate their own kinks, and I'm pretty game for anything which doesn't involve scat or any of my other DNWs. With regard to violence, I am happy to see it included, particularly on the level it might be in canon, but especially in fandoms that are especially violent I would prefer fics that didn't focus on a play-by-play of especially gruesome things, even if they are included within a plot.

Now, onto fandom specifics. This letter is so long, you may want to use CTRL + F!



Kara no Kyoukai | The Garden of Sinners

Characters Requested: Ryougi Shiki, Kokutou Mikiya, Aozaki Touko

Ships I like, if you'd like to include any: Shiki/Mikiya; Mikiya/Touko; Shiki/Mikiya/Touko; Touko/Araya

Prompts:

I'd like any kind of case fic you'd like to do. Canon divergent paths or explorations of things we didn't see. I've heard discussion about how KnK is hard to write for because it is such a tight narrative, but feel free to pull at threads. I'm familiar with Type Moon broadly, so include anything you'd like - crossovers, fusions, etc., are welcome.

Tricks:

• Shiki thinks that she has come to a place where she can control the aspects of her that are driven to associate with death and killing, but a few years after the events of the series, not counting Future Gospel, she is tempted. Maybe it has something to do with her taking up her family's business? I would also like to see a fic where she deals with the trauma inflicted upon her by Lio.
  
  
• Mikiya finally comes upon something that shakes his natural insistence on normality. Basically, what would it take to shake Mikiya's rather disturbing grasp on seeming sanity? What would it look like? What are its effects? Maybe he must confront what Azaka feels for him. (I don't want ship fic, but if this comes up, if he happens to end up acting upon it a bit, I'd like them to somehow work things out but deal with how messed up Mikiya would feel and find it.) Do Shiki and Touko respond or help him in his time of mental anguish?
  
  
• Touko finds herself all alone after leaving the others after the seventh film. She needs help, but can she get it? Alternatively, I'd like to see scenes from her past - her time at the Clock Tower in particular. What was her past with Araya and Alba like?
  
  
• Fighting monsters together or on behalf of one another. Japanese folklore?
  
  
• Rough sex to vent other violent impulses in a slightly healthier way. Please no scat (which I feel usually goes without saying) or stuff mentioned in my DNWs. Otherwise, whatever feels right for the narrative.
  
  One or more missing one or more of the others. Loneliness.

Treats:

• Shiki taking comfort in her interpersonal relationships in some way. If it's sex, great. If it's platonic bonding, great. This could be a slice of life or moment of normalcy during the time-frame of the main series. If you want to include Mana in anything about Shiki or Mikiya, I'd prefer it be on the treat side of things, even if there is some uncertainty about becoming or being parents.
  
  
• Mikiya recovering after his injuries in the seventh film, finding comfort in more normalcy than he has been afforded in years until Shiki's family comes knocking. We could have a Yakuza domestic comedy, couldn't we? I would also be happy with a first-time fic for Mikiya and Shiki. Alternatively, you could fill in gaps for when Shiki was asleep and Mikiya was first getting to know Touko -- complicated shippy or not. That could go the trick route, too, if you prefer. If you want to include Mana in anything about Shiki or Mikiya, I'd prefer it be on the treat side of things, even if there is some uncertainty about becoming or being parents.
  
  
• Touko gets treated in a surprisingly humanizing way by another character. She doesn't really know how to handle not being isolated and in control. Alternatively, she experiences great relief, finding out someone is alive or not going down the same path that she regrets parts of. I'd also like more scenes or her roping the others into her day job. What would a happy ending for her Clock Tower days have looked like?
  
  
• Hurt/comfort. A sexual intimacy element is optional.
  
  
• Dark humor.
  
  
• Peaceful "being alone together."

Chronicles of Narnia

Note for this fandom: I am comfortable with incest for this fandom but don't try to insist upon having it. This prompt will mention it as a possibility, but don't feel pressured to write anything but typical, healthy, normal familial affection / gen if you prefer that.

Characters Requested: Edmund Pevensie, Lucy Pevensie

Ships I like, if you'd like to include any: Edmund/Lucy

Prompts:

I love things that blend the various cultural and religious mythologies Lewis was drawing upon. For Tricks or Treats, I'd like to see something about what the Pevensie monarchs deal with in Narnia.

Lucy and Edmund as characters and a dynamic really interest me because Lucy seems sort of emblematic of "light" and obvious good where Edmund seems emblematic of "dark" and sort of earned-good. However, they have such affection for each other once Edmund is returned from the White Witch, and I love that.

If you choose to go the gen/only-sibling love route, I want to reiterate that you are still just as likely to make me happy. Even if their love for each other is purely platonic, I am interested in a kind of shared-experience co-dependence that has a bittersweet element to it. However, if you choose to include sibling incest in a Narnia fic for me, the lens through which I tend to view it is that if the Golden Age is taken as a literal passage of time in a different world/dimension that the cultural norms they left behind might not really take hold or might lose their definition over the many years they spent in Narnia. They lived in a place where there were very few humans for miles and miles, and their reliance on each other was extreme and co-equal among the four siblings. If you include incest, my favorite approach would be a sense that it makes sense in Narnia, but it might not in England. The tension interests me. If you do incest, please don't have them be loli/shota age, even if age is amorphous in Narnia itself. I want physically mature partners if you include anything PG-13+.

Tricks:

• When Edmund returns from being a king during Narnia's Golden Age, he has a lot of military and strategic knowledge but does not know what to do with it. He ends up in a very violent, tense situation, even at the War's end. He is a child, so how did he end up there, and what does he do? This could run all the way up into his teen years on Earth, to make it make sense. In Narnia, during the Golden Age, I'd like to see something where Edmund has political doubt and suspicion cast upon him due to his early days. How does he deal with it? What is the political fallout and how do the Pevensies fix it?
  
  
• When Lucy returns from being a queen during Narnia's Golden Age, she is the most-changed of all. She goes from being a grown woman to truly being a child. I would like to see how she might struggle to fit back into the role left for her. How does it affect her? During the Golden Age, would she have been vulnerable as the youngest queen, even as an adult? Perhaps a fic where she is underestimated, kidnapped, and fights her way out.
  
  
• Attempted forced marriage. (Take this prompt however you like. It can definitely be used for a non-Pevencest fic. Saving the other from coercion still works.)
  
  
• Magic / an ancient ritual made-them-do-it. (Awkward, bittersweet preferred.)
  
  
• The Pevensies do not come back to the time they left when they come back through the Wardrobe.

Treats:

• Edmund is known to be politically astute and cunning. I'd love to see him engaged in some kind of diplomacy or sort of funny-leaning political drama as a young man and a king. I'd also like to see him appreciating the beauty or joy of something found in Narnia, trying to be tough about it, and being seen right through by his siblings.
  
  
• Lucy is a brave and tough young woman, even if she is feminine and plucky and bright. I'd love to see her getting to involve herself in action sequences. Alternatively, maybe she spends some time learning unusual customs of the particular types of citizens of Narnia.
  
  
• Mostly-fun and happy paranormal occurrences and ensuing adventures.
  
  
• Relief that comes from getting to go back to Narnia. (Could go a bittersweet, trick-ish route if it's after their deaths on Earth.)
  
  
• Actual romance/falling in love, despite reservations. I'd be happy to see the moral ambiguity dealt with and addressed, but I'd also like them to be happy, at least for a time. Of-age sexy fic is welcome, too, if going for this prompt. See my trick-prompt for rituals -- what about wedding night rituals that aren't forced but encouraged? Idyllic outdoor sex? Sharing warmth leads to unexpected intimacy/sexual tension/sex?

Young Justice

Characters Requested: Artemis Crock, Dick Grayson, Wally West, Kaldur'ahm

Ships I like, if you'd like to include any: Dick/Wally/Artemis; Kaldur/Roy; Kaldur/Roy/Jade

Prompts:

I love Young Justice, and I honestly like basically all the characters I'm supposed to like, hate all those I'm supposed to hate. I enjoy the villains for what they are, and I welcome any kind of casefic set at any point in the series. If you do ship-fic, I would like any explicit sexuality to be when the characters are of-age. Allusions to underage sexuality are fine, I just don't want them to be explicit.

I'm interested by how normalized vigilantism is in their universe, and I'd like to see that explored on either side of the Tricks or Treats.

I have left some general prompts at the bottom of each subsection, but I also want to be clear that I'd be happy for Kaldur to interact with Wally, Dick, and Artemis. I especially appreciate his friendship with Artemis. I'd also like to see just friendship fic about Wally and Dick, or Artemis and Dick, and so on. You aren't limited, these are just some suggestions.

Tricks:

• An AU where Artemis didn't get out of her toxic family until later. I'd like for it to have an at least hopeful ending, but what if they met her as an enemy? Alternatively, later on in her life, Artemis confronting and dealing with her past and finding some kind of vindication against her abusive father. I have mixed feelings about how canon handled it. How would you in a fic about her? How does Artemis incorporate her Tigress identity into the Team while she is grieving and facing the prospect of a life entirely different than the one she had planned on coming back to?
  
  
• I like how Batman seems to be the best dad available in YJ, but he still isn't perfect in the way he handles adopting a traumatized orphan, either. I wonder what those early days of fighting crime and learning how to do it as a nine-year-old were like for Dick? If you prefer to write an older Dick, I'd like to know more about the transition between his being Robin and his being Nightwing. The creators have tended to glance over the idea that it had to do with him becoming disillusioned with Batman as it often is in many canons, but what do you think happened? What does Dick do when he takes time off from the Team after Wally's death?
  
  
• Wally seems to have come from the most stable, stereotypical middle class background of them all. I'd like to see how he handles, in his mid-teens, learning to deal with the fact that not all his friends (or his girlfriend) really have that. I would like to see him sort of see the other side of the coin as it were and have to deal with it. Alternatively, I'd like to have an (at least for now) fix-fic where he survives but maybe goes through some kind of extradimensional hell in order to get back home post-S2.

Other Wally/Artemis/Dick shippy stuff:

• Grief fic. Guilty, bittersweet comfort sex between Artemis and Dick after Wally dies and its aftermath.

- - -

• Kaldur has a heavy weight to carry as the first leader of the Team and as the eldest. Does he actually consider changing his allegiances at any point? Does his acting as a double agent almost cause him to snap? I wouldn't really care for a full gone-bad Kaldur fic, because I think he's better than that, but I'd like to see a fic that really explores conflicting loyalties and grief on his part. How does he handle coming back to lead the Team after Wally's death and Dick's departure? What does he have left after all of that?

Kaldur-including shippy stuff:

• Note: AU where Roy/Kaldur happens instead of Roy/Jade or OT3, please, not post-break-up fic with Lian involved, even for tricks.
  
  
• Roy and Kaldur enter a relationship early on and feel guilty about it because of their complicated alliance. What does Kaldur do when he finds out Roy is the Mole/a clone? How does he feel?
  
  
• Kaldur becomes involves with Roy after he kind of slides off the deep-end into addiction and after he has entered into his marriage with Jade and left her pregnant and on her own. Something dark but which leads to some hope and an OT3 in the end.
  
  
• Sex at an inopportune place/time where something bad happens because they were distracted and they have to deal with the consequences. Or, sex in a dangerous/risky location.

• The Team are literally treated like a force of child soldiers. They grew up in a situation where they were often fighting adults who were trying to violently murder them. The show kind of shrugs it off and makes it seem cool, but the older I get the more horrified I am by some aspects of it, now that I'm starting to feel responsible for teenagers. Explore?

Treats:

• Artemis finally gets an actual, supportive family dynamic when she is open and honest with the Team about her background and what is at stake. I'd love to have some kind of fic that focuses on something in between S1 and S2, whether it is when she is still doing the superhero thing or when she and Wally decide to go civilian and go to college. Alternatively, I'd like her to finally get to be happy again post-S2. Reunion fics are really welcome, but so are just healing fics in general.
  
  
• Dick is sort of isolated through having such a carefully maintained double-identity, even among his friends. I'd like to have a fic where that breaks down and the outcome is good/some relief to Dick. I'd also like to have a fic where he gets to reconcile with Wally; they didn't exactly get much closure or to leave things on a note where they were okay with each other. Does Dick ever find a place in a leadership role, or does he ever get comfortable with refusing them if they're not right for him?
  
  
• Wally literally died in the last episode we have so far. Anything that fixed that would be great. Or, as I mentioned, maybe it's a dimensional shift thing and he returns from it. On the treat side of things, as opposed to trick, I'd be really happy to see him getting to see his friends and family again. I'd like to see the sort of fish-out-of-water, funny aspects of re-entry, balanced with any serious consideration you want to give it.

Other Wally/Artemis/Dick shippy stuff:

• Reunion fic
  
  
• Artemis and/or Dick are a lot kinkier than Wally is, but he's trying to keep up.

- - -

• Kaldur is able to convince his father to become more of an antihero, rather than a villain. I feel like that would be a sort of happier resolution to what he went through with regard to his family ties. I'd also like any fic where he just got to participate in things out in the open on the surface world. While it seems that others know Aquaman exists, he doesn't really seem to be allowed to get out much given his status as an Atlantean. I'd love to see him partaking in something fun -- an adventure or a holiday, etc.

Kaldur-including shippy stuff:

• Maybe Kaldur and Roy have a rebellious, off-the-grid, figuring-things-out adventure together instead of Roy going off and coping in much more unhealthy ways. If you wanted to include some of the unhealthy ways and make it a sort of trick/treat fic, then I'd like to see a sort of stylized sex, drugs, and rock and roll sort of fic about them. Jade can come, too, if you like. I do like it when characters deal with and confront consequences, but it isn't absolutely necessary depending on where you want to put the snap shot.
  
  
• Sexy fic related to the above prompt.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Characters Requested: Aang, Katara, Zuko, Azula, Ty Lee, Sokka, Toph Beifong

Ships I like, if you'd like to include any: Aang/Katara/Zuko; Azula/Ty Lee; Sokka/Toph; Sokka/Suki; Sokka/Suki/Toph

Prompts:

I love ATLA so much, and I've been rewatching it recently. Every time I watch it, I see more and more nuance in canon itself and more room for nuance in fanfiction. I love canon-compliant, missing scene fics and canon-divergent thought experiments alike. I love how rich the world and mythology is. I have a degree in Philosophy with a concentration in Religious Studies, so if you want to do a gen-ish worldbuilding fic about how religion works in their world, surrounding, including, and besides the Avatar, that would be something I would be interested in.

Once again, I'd like it if the characters waited until they are of age to have sexual contact I read about explicitly, but it's welcome once they are.

Since this is a longer set of characters I've chosen, I've sort of divided them into sections by shipping possibilities for clarity. However, I am happy with gen about any combination of characters, so don't feel limited by partitions. They're just there to make it easier to read.

Tricks:

• For those moments Aang is dead at the end of Book Two, I would like to know what he perceived. I know that the show might sort of allow a reading where it was absolute annihilation, but that's no fun. If he's slipping away into the Spirit World, knowing that he'll be trapped there and there will be no more Avatar, what does he feel and experience? How is his temporary death? What is his consciousness like until he finally does awaken? Or, an AU where he stays with the Air Nomads and survives the genocide and its aftermath. What does he experience instead?
  
  
• Katara is so maternal and gentle and full of faith that some critiques of her have been that she's boring or too prim and proper. However, I would love to point out to any who would critique her in this way that the Southern Water Tribe survived against decimated numbers, a harsh climate, and with little infrastructure and few resources. Katara, Sokka, and their grandmother were what seemed like the leadership in their community. Katara has already been through a lot, including the murder of her mother who died to protect her. I would love to see the aftermath of Katara actually deciding to act on aggression, to kill, and what happens next, even if she has a very justifiable -- by someone's measure -- reason.
  
  
• Zuko has some of the best character development I've ever seen. I love him very much, but I also get very frustrated with him. I'd love to have an exploration of something we didn't see while he was acting as the Blue Spirit or while he was still on the hunt for Aang. Alternatively, what if Iroh hadn't managed to dissuade him from going with Azula when she appeared on the scene? What if he had been taken as a prisoner back to the Fire Nation? Anything short of character death with some hope at the end, I'm game, especially if it involves Zuko becoming fulfilled on a much tougher road.

Shippy prompts for Aang/Katara/Zuko:

A while post-canon if they include sex, please.

• I'm the kind of person who doesn't like the ship wars and is all about this as a poly relationship. I appreciate all facets of it. However, I would be interested in a fic where it came out through a temporary break-up and conflict between two of them and the third being a rebound relationship. I'd like to to be messy, even if it turns out alright in the end.
  
  
• If you go with the above and/or my Katara prompt about her choosing to kill, Katara and Zuko having a sort of Sex in the Blood of Their Enemies scene. If Aang is privy to it, I don't necessarily want him alienated but it's alright if he's sort of horrified and has to work that out.
  
  
• I really like attempted forced-marriage as an idea. Perhaps Katara is a political prisoner and they try to force her into marriage or some other similar 'arrangement' with Zuko. I don't want noncon or dubcon but just sort of maybe them having to fake it and it leading to some really weird, uncomfortable sexual tension.
  
  
• The same as immediately above could work for Zuko/Aang, too. In either case, the third party giving them a way out of the worst of it would be good.
  
  
• Two of the three coping with the temporary loss or death of the third. Aang's eventual death would be the canonical option, and you'd kill me, too, but any would work.

- - -

• Azula's mental health issues are very interestingly portrayed. I find her place in a cycle of abuse to be very intriguing and fairly well-handled. I would like to see any moment of what her life was like when she was alone as Fire Lord Ozai's heir-apparent and how it seemed to make her worse in Book Three. I'd also like to see any scenes from her childhood that led her to feel that the symptoms of certain things that are off-balance about her psyche were good rather than something to cope with.
  
  
• Poor Ty Lee being coerced into coming with Azula but caring about her nonetheless haunts and tantalizes me. Anything dealing with how that works would be interesting. While I don't want porn unless they are aged up or it's post-canon, I would be interested to know if there's a kind of strange, sexually charged element to it on the UST side of things if you choose to go the shippy route. I would also like to see how Ty Lee might cope post-series when she has joined the Kyoshi Warriors and is much happier but may have some lingering issues about Azula -- Stockholm Syndrome or no.

Shippy prompts for Azula/Ty Lee:

• If they were aged up and it was a little more than just a hand-wave, I wouldn't mind having a fic about a complicated pressure Ty Lee feels from Azula, in spite of actually having feelings for her, toward sexuality.
  
  
• If you want to go a route that is a little less fraught with moral dubiousness, I feel you, and would enjoy a fic that was, sexually or not, about intimacy that Azula finds comfort in when she is mentally exhausted from what is always going on in her head.

- - -

• One of the things I'm noticing about Sokka during my most recent rewatch is that he is such a brilliant tactician. He doesn't have "magic water" powers, and he puts so much of his faith, security, identity, and safety in his ability to do that. For a Trick fic, I'd love to see what happens when he is in the midst of something going terribly wrong. Maybe he thinks that someone he loves is dead, even though I'd prefer no permanent character death. Otherwise, you can do whatever you like and make it as dark as you like before any glimmer of hope.
  
  
• Toph has such an interesting strength about her, but the canon kind of dropped the ball on her back story following her around. At some point, it seems like her parents just gave up on her. Did they? Did she ever have any contact with them again? If so, was it negative? Did she cope with that? Or did her parents' efforts stop for a different reason? Were they casualties of war? Alternatively, I would be interested just to know something about what makes Toph afraid, terrified, and her actually getting help for it because she's so fiercely independent at any age.

Shippy prompts for Sokka/Toph(/Suki):

I like Suki just fine. I just didn't know of any good prompts for her individually, so feel free to include her as much or as little as you want. Just be nice to her if you do.

I especially feel the need to point out that I'd like for anything Sokka/Toph to be a while after canon, due to their age gap, which would close in adulthood, but yeah. I love their dynamic, but I don't want the trick part to be that it's frighteningly unhealthy.

• The theory that Sokka is the father of one of Toph's kids floated around to me on tumblr before I even got into ATLA. It has lingered in the back of my mind. It doesn't necessarily have to follow LoK exactly to its conclusion, but accidental pregnancy? Happyish ending, please, but the journey is the tricky part. If it's OT3, then maybe Sokka is conflicted about the impact on Suki, even if she was consenting to this element of the relationship / an open relationship / etc.
  
  
• Later on, Sokka and Suki are still in a long-distance relationship due to Suki's role as a Kyoshi Warrior. One night, something happens -- intense bonding, intense relief, alcohol, some combination of these things -- and Sokka and Toph sleep together. Sokka has no idea if this is okay or cheating or what due to ill-defined relationship boundaries in Suki's absence. It should turn out okay but there should be angst about it maybe-not, please?
  
  
• Thinking the other is dead and being really angry and upset and afraid.
  
  
• I hate myself for asking, but how did Toph respond to Sokka's death later on?

Treats:

• Aang really deserves getting to actually be a peacemaker rather than a war-winner post-canon. However, he has lost his entire culture and doesn't quite know how it works to integrate himself with the cultural trappings his friends carry with them. I would like to see a fic that is sort of about him getting to really enjoy establishing mutual understanding. His acting in his role as the Avatar during peacetime would be really nice, too.
  
  
• Katara being able to utilize her healing abilities and her master waterbending to teach and help others would be really nice. I'd also like to see her getting to continue to be strong and a little more intense than people give her credit for. She chose not to kill the man directly responsible for her mother's death, so how does she grow past that, knowing she is capable of considering it? Funny slice of life stuff with her brother, father, or any other element of their world would be good, too.
  
  
• I would like to see some funny, awkward, bureaucratic pains that Zuko must deal with after he becomes Fire Lord. I would like to see him starting to settle into his role as leader but not without some adjustment and difficulties. I'd like to see Iroh and his friends supporting him and redirecting him through this. If he could somehow actually help Azula eventually, that would also be satisfying.

Shippy prompts for Aang/Katara/Zuko:

A while post-canon if sexual, please.

• In an established relationship post-canon, Aang and Katara come to Zuko's aid in a politically precarious situation. They haven't spent time together in a while, and they find they've missed one another in ways they didn't anticipate. Whether they try to hide it or it becomes of strange political advantage for Zuko to have this kind of connection to the Avatar and his presumptive fiancee/wife is up to you.
  
  
• Aang and Zuko learning the cultural and political customs of Katara's culture would be special and nice because they've never seen it at peace and in-tact. The same would go for Aang teaching them something about airbending culture they actually can embrace.

- - -

• It's hard to imagine what, exactly, the best outcome for Azula might be. I'd love to know how she gets some help with her mental health and is slowly able to reintegrate with some kind of life that isn't filled with anger and pain and manipulation, giving or receiving. That's the springboard, and I'd love to see where you go with it. I'd love to see her having positive interaction with any of the characters if she is getting better.
  
  
• In the end, when Ty Lee joins the Kyoshi Warriors, I'd like to see her bonding and having healthier relationships with other girls. Suki is a good candidate, but anyone would be good. If she could have a reunion with Mai, or find peace with the Gaang, besides anything you'd write for her with Azula, that would be nice.

Shippy prompts for Azula/Ty Lee:

• Intimacy following night terrors, violence, panic attacks, etc. Doesn't have to be sexual, but if it is, please have it be post-canon and when Azula has been given some kind of mental healthcare whatever that might entail.
  
  
• A reunion between Ty Lee and Azula that isn't awful post-canon.
  
  
• Honestly, just justified relationship domesticity.

- - -

• Sokka is so long-suffering and beleaguered. Oftentimes, he brings it on himself when this happens, but he also just has a knack for being in over his head but doing his bed anyway. A counterpoint to my trick point for him, I'd love to see him having tactical success at something, militarily or politically or personally. I would also like to see him having positive character growth and learning to understand something. He is so set in his ways at times that he can be rude and insensitive, but it'd be nice to see that having an outcome that leaves him better for it and satisfied that he is.
  
  
• I am so happy for Toph that, through everything, she made it. She made it to a place she wanted to be in so many parts of her life, even before she met Aang. She made it work against really tough, terrifying adversity that might have made a lot of people give up. I would love to see her just getting to and learning to rest in peacetime. I feel like that would be tough for her. I would also like to have a fic where she makes some kind of peace with her family, if you'd rather do that than my trick prompt.

Shippy prompts for Sokka/Toph(/Suki):

Redundant in case you didn't read the Trick part.

I like Suki just fine. I just didn't know of any good prompts for her individually, so feel free to include her as much or as little as you want. Just be nice to her if you do.

I especially feel the need to point out that I'd like for anything Sokka/Toph to be a while after canon, due to their age gap, which would close in adulthood, but yeah. I love their dynamic, but I don't want the trick part to be that it's frighteningly unhealthy.

• Sokka and Toph accidentally become friends with benefits and it escalates into something more that works for them. If you want to show how they got there -- terror, comfort, alcohol, intense bonding moment -- or show it somewhere along the way, it'd be equally interesting to me.
  
  
• If you want to include Suki, I'd love to see it kind of start as Suki being perfectly okay with it being an open relationship because she can't really settle down and commit due to being a Kyoshi Warrior. Then, if you want, she and Toph could bond and it could gradually develop into an all-involved poly relationship, optionally.

• Wilderness survival/one blanket scenarios for any and all ships.
  
  
• Political drama for ship or gen-fic. I love reading about negotiations and tensions that have some kind of resolution.

Zootopia

Characters Requested: Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde

Ships I like, if you'd like to include any: Judy/Nick

In my Prompt space on AO3, I indicated that I didn't want any fic rated E. No offense to anyone who's cool with it, but I just don't feel comfortable reading sex between animals, even if I'm okay with the PG-13 implication of it given their universe. However, I would be open to it if you're really hoping to write it, in a human AU. I wasn't even particularly taken with the idea until I saw this gorgeous piece of fanart by SakimiChanArt:



Prompts:

Smut or no-smut, the above fanart makes me really curious to see how one might translate the unique predator/prey politics into a human AU, so if you feel like tackling that, consider it a prompt. Please consider any of my prompts gen or ship-friendly, and if you take the above allowance for how to do E-rated if you want to do it for me, just go with the characters for what would feel right.

Tricks:

• Any AU about the original concept for the movie.
  
  
• A darkfic human!AU about police corruption and complications? Play it seriously if you do that, please.
  
  
• Judy believes in herself absolutely until her confidence is shaken by the events of the movie. Whether it's an alternative to the events of the movie or something that happens afterward, I'd like to see her questioning her personal competence because of something that she personally decided to do. Alternatively, maybe she is torn between her established life in Zootopia or something tough going on at home.
  
  
• Of course, Nick's back story gives us the reasons that he feels like he cannot be anything but what he is stereotyped to be. Once he moves on from that, I wonder if he still struggles with it, even after joining the police force. Alternatively, maybe he goes on some kind of deep undercover mission where he finds his loyalties really tried. I really want him to stay true to himself and his character development.
  
  
• A fic where Judy and Nick are best friends / platonic life partners / in a relationship but have professional pressures get in the way and make them question their ability to sustain it would break my heart in a good way.

Treats:

• Judy worked so hard to get to a place where she understands herself better and has a better relationship with her ambitions and career. A continuation of that where she is successful would be wonderful. Alternatively, I'd like to see a break where she goes back to her hometown for a vacation. Maybe she shows Nick how country life works.
  
  
• Nick really should get some relief from his own internal pressure and deserves to learn what real success feels like. I would love to see him making positive use of his street smarts and connections in his career. If he can keep his common touch, I'd love to see him help keep someone from getting in trouble on a wrongful indictment.
  
  
• I heard there was a deleted scene where Judy took Nick back home to meet her parents. Some extension of that into a short little story about their stay would be great. If it's shippy, maybe that's how they come to realize that their feelings are leaning in that direction. If not, maybe it just leads to another kind of platonic bonding moment.
  
  
• Office shenanigans at the precinct.
  
  
• Happy interaction with the other characters.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent

Characters Requested: Robert Goren, Alexandra Eames

Ships I like, if you'd like to include any: Goren/Eames

Prompts:

I've never read fic for any Law & Order media, but I have checked for a fic about these two more than once. I've never picked one up, which isn't to say there aren't good ones out there, but I just haven't had the actual gumption to try. If you write something for me, it'd be fantastic.

It's hard for me to give bulleted, individual prompts for these two. It's such an episodic show, and it's been a part of my life for as long as it's been on TV. That doesn't mean I remember every episode I've ever seen in succession, though. I would just love to have a fic about the partnership between Eames and Goren. You can choose to focus on one or both of the characters, but I'll try to give you a few scenarios to work with.

Tricks:

• One of the two is being held captive. It would be especially interesting to me if the person being held captive was Goren and Eames got to be the hero, since stereotypical gender roles might put it the other way around.
  
  
• They must deal with the angst that comes with a breach in the professionalism of their partnership. It might just be a crossing in the lines of a friendship, or it might go all the way up to sleeping together and/or falling in love.
  
  
• I loved that episode where Goren got himself stuck in a corrupt prison. It terrified me. Playing off that would be a good episode tag prompt.

Treats:

• Eames gets to be the one with unique, strange information that Goren doesn't know for once.
  
  
• Goren gets to show Eames something in their off-time that means a lot to him and teaches her something. I just feel like they'd both enjoy that.
  
  
• A slice of life moment outside their professional lives. We only ever see the Law & Order characters in their professional lives with rare exception. Anything that would flesh them out and give them a break.
  
  
• Recovery after the time Goren was trapped in a corrupt prison. I sincerely hope better fans know which I'm talking about.

Stargate SG-1

Characters Requested: Daniel Jackson, Jack O'Neill, Sam Carter, Martouf | Lantash, Janet Fraiser, Teal'c

Ships I like, if you'd like to include any: Jack/Daniel; Daniel/Sharé; Sam/Martouf; Sam/Janet; Teal'c/Drey;auc; Teal'c/Original Character(s) or Creative Crossovers of fandoms I know (check my works on AO3?)

Polyamory is welcome here, too, if it's overlap between requested ships.

Prompts:

I've been rewatching this recently, too. I'm in S2, and it's going to be a while, but I have seen the series through S8. I did try to watch through S8, as I recall, but the show changed a lot. I don't hate it after that, but it's not as familiar to me in case that helps orient you. I've requested a variety of characters and have segmented the prompts according to ship suggestions, but I'd equally love gen about any of the combinations of characters. I absolutely love the SG-1 team dynamic and adore them being supportive and protective of one another.


Treats:

• Daniel is one of those characters I'm irrationally attached to. I would love to see him get to be happy. I would love to see him in a moment where he gets to go back to something he had hoped his life was going to be before the Stargate. I would like to know if he gets to be happy by engaging in academia again. Or, if he's totally moved on from being rejected out of that, I would love to see him taking joy in learning something from a new culture.

Shippy prompts for Daniel/Sharé:

• We never got to see them be happy together. I'd love to have a slice of life between the film and the beginning of the series.
  
  
• An alternate ending based on Forever in a Day where Sharé is rescued and returns to the SGC would make me happy, too.
  
  
• Jack is a good-humored man, but he also tends to hold himself at a distance from things with some skepticism. It totally make sense that he would do this, but we also know that he takes up an interest in astronomy after his initial retirement. He is capable of appreciation and wonder, but we mostly get informed of this by small references or winks-and-nods. I'd like to get to see Jack experiencing some kind of wonder.

Shippy prompts for Jack/Daniel:

• After Daniel has had time to heal after the loss of Sharé, Jack and Daniel find that their bond has deepened. They both understand loss of a first, deep love, so I would like for them to have a measured, reasonable response to enterting a relationship. However, it could be after an impulsive break in UST!
  
  
• Not so much Aliens Made Them Do It as an Alien Aphrodisiac that provides the shove after they are already on the path to going there but haven't managed it yet.
  
  
• See above, but a cultural ritual they find themselves caught up in such as a rite of marriage they accidentally stumbled into.
  
  
• Any kind of hurt/comfort. Wilderness survival. Bonding through temporary isolation.

• I appreciate Sam more and more as I grow into womanhood. I love how the show actually, in its 90s way, points out sexism and gender stereotypes within her profession without making it so that she cannot exhibit feminine qualities. I love the fact that her emotions aren't typically used against her in a way that is set out because she is a woman. I would love to see her using her feminine qualities as an asset in a positive, powerful way in some situation that doesn't undermine her professional knowledge and sensibilities.
  
  
• Janet is a character I didn't really notice a lot or fall especially in love with until this watch-through. I am so proud of her in the Hathor episode, even if it makes my skin crawl. (I wrote a write-up on that episode on my DW, by the way.) I am also amazed that she just chose to take on Cassandra so soon, so readily, even though there isn't some big build-up about her wanting kids. I hate when kids are forced on women as a way to moralize them, but I am so glad to see that it's not treated like some kind of stupid weakness on her part that she stepped up to be a mom where she was needed. I'd love a slice of life with her parenting Cassandra. I'd also like to see her get to go on an off-world adventure that actually was, mostly, an adventure and not a tragedy.
  
  
• I was looking forward to Martouf, having remembered him from the last time I was watching SG-1 a lot. Luckily, I got to him right before doign this sign-up. I find him so sweet and his demeanor just really nice. He's unusual as a male presence and random male love interest, in my opinion. I like that he'd soft-spoken and thoughtful. I just would really like to know more about him, prior to Jolinar needing to leave or anything else you'd like to tell me. What was Martouf like before he decided to become a host for the Tok'ra Lantash? What led him there? Since becoming Tok'ra is positive, I'd like to know how he came to know it was what he wanted and to examine that.

Shippy ideas for Sam/Janet:

• They bond over co-parenting Cassandra. This could be just a quiet, bonding moment with a future, or them actually going on a date someday.
  
  
• Prior to meeting Cassandra, maybe they bond over something else and discuss their future possibilities. I'm actually not sure what the military's policy would be for Janet, since she's a doctor, but if you want a little bit of difficulty because of their professional status that they overcome, that'd be nice.
  
  
• What if they ended up trapped together off-world for quite some time? How do they survive and bond? With or without Cassandra, but if she's involved, please let her be a character. I do like it when kids are characters!
  
  
• Sweet, grown-up first time.

Shippy ideas for Sam/Martouf:

• It's sort of weird that they 'go there' with Sam feeling what Jolinar may have felt, but I find it touching even if it's a little bit messy in terms of initial consent. I would like to see them work their way through that complication rather than just powering through and ignoring it.
  
  
• I would love to see them learn more about each other and distinguish between Sam and Jolinar more completely. I would like Martouf to realize that he is falling in love again if he is falling in love at all. If he is successful in this, I'd like for there to be an intimate encounter (sex or not) where Martouf realizes that while Sam and Jolinar share a lot in common that this is his first time with someone new in many decades. If it's sweet-awkward that's okay.

• Teal'c is another new, fervent love upon rewatching. I think that when I was first an SG-1 fan, my sense of humor just wasn't nuanced enough to realize how Teal'c is hilarious in his own way. Not only that, but he is so kind, gentle, and compassionate in spite of being a very capable warrior. I just love him a lot more and am better for it. I'd love to see another little slice of him exploring Earth. Alternatively, I'd like to know a quiet moment he had with Bra'tac or Drey'auc or Rya'c that helped make him who he is.

Shippy ideas including Teal'c:

• With Drey'auc, I'd like to know how their early marriage was. Did they marry for love or was it arranged? How did they come to care for each other as they do? I would just really like them to have some happier moments since we never got to see them.
  
  
• If you have a nuanced OC or a crossover idea for Teal'c to find romance since he cannot ever find his way back to his relationship with Drey'auc, I'd just really love him to get the opportunity for that happiness.
