278. DEAR TRICK OR TREAT CREATOR.

[peaked]

Dear trickortreatex creator,

I'm buries and finnicks.

I've written this letter as my sign-up is tl;dr! This letter will give you tl;dr level of detail regarding my likes, dislikes, and prompts. I've included prompts to help you have an idea of what I like, but please take what you like from this and don't feel like you have to take my prompts at face value. As long as it doesn't hit a DNW, I'm going to enjoy it!

I've included horror and Halloween likes in this letter. I've opted into tricks and treats, fic and art.

If you find one section smaller than the others, please don't think I want it any less! Sometimes, I have a lot to say, and other times I (thankfully) say it concisely. Some of the sections have been built over time (particularly with prompts).

If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them via the mods. I welcome treats (art and/or fic). :)

Thank you for creating for me! ♥

GENERAL NOTES

I like works of all ratings—Gen to Explicit. (Explicit doesn't need to be for explicit smut.)

I love drabbles (100, 200, 300 words) and drabble series. If they work within the guidelines of the exchange, go for it.

I'm open to any length of work—just a little over the minimum to three times over the minimum. Write the length that best suits the story you want to tell.

Have fun with the POV! I'd love to receive second or third person for fic. I have a preference for third person limited. I'm not a big fan of first person outside of epistolary sections (unless it's Joe Goldberg).

Please feel free to use what's in this letter in combination with any freeform tags I've selected if the exchange is a freeform tag exchange.

I always try to include prompts in my AO3 sign up so you get an idea of what concepts I'm interested in receiving. (Sometimes this doesn't happen because my prompts will break my sign up.) If something in my letter sparks an idea (as long as it's not a DNW), please go for it. If I don't want something for a specific canon that's in my letter, I will say so in my sign up as part of the canon DNWs.

I'd love to receive unconventional works in and outside of unconventional works exchanges. If you'd like to incorporate that, I love in-universe documents that fit the canon setting such as mission reports, character profiles, news articles, social media, letters, diary entries, journal entries, character sketch books, etc.

LIKES

Canon divergences that have a foot in canon.

• What ifs
  
  • What if someone made a different decision?
    
  • What if this thing in canon didn't happen? (i.e. Character A didn't die. Character B didn't obtain an object and so now there's an opportunity to explore a relationship with Character A. Character C didn't come to town, so Character A and Character B were able to form a relationship. Character A decided to stick with Character B. Character A decided to pursue Character B. Character A and Character B are thrown together in a situation that was avoided in canon.)
    
  • What if X person didn't die? What if one of the requested characters saved the other?
    
  • What if it was a different character in that position? (i.e. Requested character was involved in the scene instead of X. Requested character was in danger instead of Y.) What would they have done differently?

• Filling in the blanks
  
  • What happened between episode X and episode Y?
    
  • What happened between seasons/ books?
    
  • What happened after the canon ended?
    
  • What happened after this pivotal plot point was dropped?
    
  • How did two characters get together?
    
  • Did two characters talk more about their disagreement?

• Fixing up canon's mistakes.
  
  • What happens when Character A doesn't die?
    
  • What happens when Character B isn't character assassinated?
    
  • What happens when you don't remove Character A from the narrative?
    
  • What happens when you don't drop this piece of world building and bringing requested character back to life/ back into the foray?

• Future fics/ post-canon.
  
  • What happens a year later? 2 years? 5 years? 10 years?
    
  • Are the requested characters still together? Do they get together? What are they doing in the future?

Requested alternate universes:

• Apocalypse
  
  • Zombies (can be because of a virus as long as it doesn't skirt the DNW)
  
  
  • Bombs fall
  
  
  • Aliens invade ala Independence Day
  
  
  • It just happens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• Time travel (I'm happy for reasons for time travel in a non-time travel canon is "Just because", "Science", "Magic", or any other reason you can think of).
  
  • Time loop (someone's powers or it's just the way the mechanics of a spell)
    
  • Groundhog day
    
  • Back to the Future (someone goes back in time, someone goes forward in time)
    
  • Stuck in a loop until they learn their lesson

• Temporary power swaps where superhero becomes human and a human becomes a superhero. Temporary power gains where everyday human has powers that disappear by the story's end.

• Soulmates
  
  • Name on wrists
    
  • Countdown tattoo
    
  • You just fucking know

• Amnesia
  
  • One character has amnesia and can't remember their relationship

Character studies. Deep dives into characters psyches. What makes a character tick? Unpacking their trauma. Letting them cope realistically to a situation rather than have it brushed under the rug.

Cheating/ infidelity where the cheating happens between the two characters requested.

Complicated relationships. Enemies to lovers. Enemies to friends to lovers. Friends to lovers. Enemy lovers.

Coping with trauma. Exploration of trauma. Recovery from trauma. Healthy and/or unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Emotional and physical vulnerability and intimacy. Consent when touching.

Epistolary. Letter writing (sent and unsent). Diary entries, journal entries, articles written by journalistic characters. Emails—funny subject lines, funny email addresses, not using the work email for only non-personal things. Revealing feelings. Hiding angst. Detailing trauma. Using writing as a way to cope with trauma. Passive aggressively leaving notes. Leaving notes because we keep missing one another. Post its.

Established relationships like friendships, romantic relationships, sexual relationships between the requested characters. I also love budding relationships and ones where they like one another but are too scared and/or stupid to act on it or they believe the other person so doesn't like them.

Fake dating. Fake marriage.

First time having sex, dating, kissing.

Gen relationships such as found family, blood family, friendships.

Happy/ hopeful ending.

Humour. Banter. Snark.

Hurt/comfort.

• Helping recovery from trauma whether it's mental, emotional or physical.

• Emotional.
  
  • Grief. (I do love grief stories where grief isn't completely gone by the end of the story.)
    
  • PTSD. (Nightmares. Being triggered. Breathing hard. Losing focus. Feeling unsafe. Fight or flight reflex.)

• Physical:
  
  • Stitching up a wound. Taking care of someone who's sick. Sprained ankle. Concussions. Bruises. Broken bones. Blood loss.

Miscommunication. Characters speaking around what they mean. Words having double meanings. Characters misinterpret one another due to their own insecurities or personal baggage. One character is too blunt or the other one tries to beat around the bush which leads to misunderstandings.

Casefic. Mission fic. Picking up an artefact. Robbing someone. Ocean's 11 kind of heist. The Mummy-type object hunting and curse activating. (I do not need the focus to be on the mission but if you like writing that, go for it!)

Pining. A pines for B who has no idea. A pines for B and B pines for A. I prefer it to be resolved by the end of the fic, but also love the journey and tropes it encourages.

Female pregnancy, including abortion (chosen by the character, not forced upon them) and miscarriage as long as it's dealt with sensitively. Women who long for pregnancy, women who don't wish to be pregnant. Discomfort in pregnancy. Enjoying it.

Road trips. Sleeping in the car together. Stopping at motels and hotels. Travelling with no destination in mind.

Sharing a bed. Cuddling for warmth. The bed's only suited for one person. Comforting during nightmares. Someone sleeps naked. Sharing body heat.

Slow burn UST.

Smut. Explicit smut. Non-explicit smut. Focusing on the sex itself. Focusing on character emotions and intimacy. Even when it's dubcon/noncon, I love seeing the focus on character emotions and connections/disconnections.

SMUT LIKES

Terminology etc.

• I prefer terminology such as "clit, cock, cunt, dick" and don't mind "pussy". I prefer "come" over "cum".
  
• Feel free to be as dirty as you like. I don't mind fade to black as long as it's not in a smut-centric exchange.
  
• For smut-centric exchanges, I'm all for PWP where it's a straight-up sex scene or if you want to do some groundwork and give me something that's 1k build-up, go for it. Wherever your smutty heart takes you!

Age difference (i.e. 16yo with 21yo; 23yo with 45yo; etc.). The youngest age is 16.

Anal, female receiving (except when a male is being pegged). Anal fingering, anal penetration.

Barebacking. Condoms.

Bathing.

Begging.

Biting.

Bloodplay with vampires. Menstrual sex (doesn't have to be with vampires). Blood drinking with vampires. Using blood as lube with vampires. If characters are beaten up, having sex covered in blood.

Body worship.

Breast worship. Tit fucking.

Choking—consensual or dubiously consensual. Can include choking while giving a blowjob.

Clothed sex. One person clothed, the other person naked. Both clothed. Half-clothed. Costume kink, uniform kink. Lingerie. Using ties for binds. Scarves for blindfolds. Using silks for teasing.

Cockwarming—anal, vagina, mouth.

Come as lube. Facials. Coming in pants. Coming on someone. Creampie.

Consent. Seeking consent during a scene. Consent kink. Consent being the focus between characters who have trauma from nonconsensual acts.

Dirty talk.

Dubious consent. Someone in power manipulating the other person into saying yes. Someone's emotionally distraught. Misleading someone without correcting them on the truth.

Edging.

Emotionally charged sex. Gimme those emotions.mp3, Mariah!

Fail sex where people stumble. Someone comes too early. The woman can't come from penetration. Someone isn't as confident as they wish to be and it results in poor dirty talk.

Gaping (from anal/vaginal penetration).

Hair pulling during sex. Playing with hair.

Hands. Holding hands, kissing fingers. Gentle hands, rough hands. Big hands, small hands. Rough fingers.

Inexperienced partner with experienced parter. Experienced woman with inexperienced woman. Experienced woman with inexperienced man. Experienced man with inexperienced woman. Virginity loss, although I'd prefer that virginity isn't seen as a defining character trait of a character unless it's set in a dubcon situation where it's used to manipulate or goad the inexperienced partner on.

Light bondage: blindfolds, collars, handcuffed to bed or piece of furniture, tied up.

Light dom/sub. Getting off on power and control rather than pleasure. Also: getting off on pleasing one another. I love dom/sub where a character takes on the dominant role and tries to help their partner get out of their head. I prefer the mental side of this with a heavy focus on a character who either is intense about control or often gives their control to others and needing to trust your partner. "Sir" and "Ma'am", even status titles i.e. "king", "queen", "princess", "prince", "captain", etc. for characters with those titles.

Masturbation. Mutual masturbation. Instructing someone on getting off. Masturbating together. Trying to get someone off through masturbation. Showing someone how to masturbate.

Manhandling. Roughly moving partner around. Throwing them (not violently) against a wall, over a table, onto the bed, pushing them down.

Non-penetrative sex. Dry humping, frottage, grinding, coming in pants. Pillow humping. Grinding on thighs. Handjobs. Scissoring.

Oral sex: Blowjobs, cunnilingus, deepthroating (consensual and dubiously consensual), face fucking (consensual and dubiously consensual).

Orgasm control and denial. Multiple orgasms. Coming over and over. Magically inclined to keep coming. Exhaustion and soreness from coming. You don't need to portray this with 100% realism.

Overstimulation. Clit sensitivity. Nipple sensitivity. Cock sensitivity.

Pegging. Woman pegging man. Woman pegging other woman—anal or vaginal.

Penetration. Vaginal penetration. Anal penetration. Penetration in two holes. Double penetration in one hole. Double penetration in two holes. Triple penetration. Object penetration.

Power imbalance.

Pregnancy sex. Risk of pregnancy. Belly kink associated with pregnant belly.

Public sex or semi-public sex. Fingering under the table. Giving head underneath the table. Fucking in alleyways or back of shops. Car sex including giving head and fingering.

Roleplay: power imbalance scenarios, pretending situations are dubiously consensual, playing out fantasies, etc.

Rough sex. Hair pulling, biting, eager sex. Fighting/sparring as foreplay.

Sex in places such as shower, car, classroom. Against walls, chair sex, table sex.

Sex pollen! Losing control of themselves due to desire. Being overcome with the need to fuck. One character is hit with a huge dose of it and the other one is unaffected. Unable to experience any relief from the need to fuck until they've come. Unable to come until partner has come and perhaps partner doesn't orgasm easily. Unable to break the pollen until a specific sex act has been performed. Characters are so consumed with the idea they need to fuck even though the pollen's a lite version. Pollen wears off when the partner's come multiple times. Or characters believe it's sex pollen but really they're just finally giving into being horny fuckers.

Size differences. Strength differences. Height differences. Big cocks, large breasts.

Somnophilia. Consensual somnophilia. Dubiously consensual somnophilia. Woken up via oral sex or being fucked. Pretending to be asleep while partner fucks them. Sex while half-asleep.

Spanking. Spanking with hand. Spanking with an object. Bent over a table, bent over a knee. Spanking for punishment.

Tenderness during sex. Hand holding. Kissing. Kissing cunt/cock.

Threesomes and moresomes. Gangbang (preference is woman in the centre). Spitroasting. Sloppy seconds (preference is woman being in this role).

Vocal sex. Unable to stay quiet. One person wants to try and stay quiet while the other disregards that and wants them to be loud.

Voyeurism. Inviting someone to watch. A third party watches on and instructs. Cuckolding.

Women taking charge. Men being dominant. Women topping from the bottom, especially women who aren't as sexually confident.

[ Back to top ]

---

DARK LIKES

Emotional manipulation, psychological manipulation. Manipulative characters getting to actually be manipulative without being watered down.

Kidnapping. Gaslighting. Stockholm Syndrome. I love the focus on the psychological toll of being in a strange place with someone and trying to outwit them more than the actual act of kidnapping.

Stockholm Syndrome caused by manipulation, kidnapping, isolating character.

Mind control performed by characters capable of magic.

Tapping into a character's more darker tendencies.

Using sex as a bargaining chip. Character feels as though they owe their captor sex. Captor not dissuading victim from not bargaining with sex. Sex to save someone's life, even if that life isn't actually in danger.

[ Back to top ]

---

DUBCON/NONCON LIKES

A note on dubcon and noncon: I'm fine with receiving either. For noncon, I'd like to avoid violent rape wherein violent such as slapping, hitting, etc. is used to overpower someone. I prefer dubcon and noncon to have an emotional manipulation element to it.

Aggressive sex followed by aftercare.

Anal penetration as an act of dominance.

Blackmail into sex. Agree to have sex to protect another character. Agree to have sex to prove obedience. Huddling for warmth turns into dubious consensual sex.

Forced to beg for orgasm. Forced or tricked into threesome/moresome (preference is woman).

Forced to kneel. Forced into position to give easier access.

Being mind controlled, struggling with the ramifications of mind control. False memories. Character A mind controls Character B into believing that they are Character C who they would consensually have sex with. Amnesia and someone taking advantage of the memory gaps.

Under-negotiated kink. Non-negotiated kink (as long as it's not a DNW). Penetration in the wrong hole. Agree to oral but penetration still happens.

Surprise penetration during frottage. Just the tip but cock or object fully inserted.

Sex magic. Cursed to want cock or cunt. Cursed with constant need for sex. Obedience curses.

Sex rituals. Needing to have sex to create or break a curse. Whether the curse actually exists is up to you.

Setting changes that fit in with canon world (i.e. fundamentals of canon are not changed drastically): Auctioned to the highest bidder. Subs are assigned to Dom.

Unaroused partners. Unwilling arousal.

Vampires: Blood drinking, being used as a blood bag. Dubiously consensual or nonconsensual blood drinking. Being covered in blood. Bloodplay. Using blood as lube in lieu of actual arousal.

[ Back to top ]

HORROR LIKES

See Halloween likes for some lighter prompts.

Psychological horror exploring trauma. Memory sharing, memory warping. Showing someone their deepest and darkest secrets. Exposing hidden desires. Warping desires.

Cursed or corrupted objects (give me taking Imhotep's body part jars curse! Or even Annabel).

Zombies, witches, werewolves. Creatures from gothic horror or folklore. It can be as comedic as Shaun of the Dead or as spooky and embedded in lore like Supernatural's first two seasons.

Implanting characters into a twisted myth. Give me a folklore myth that goes awry. A new take on well-known horror myths like Bloody Mary.

Spells gone wrong. It brings someone back from the dead wrong. Curses someone to be haunted or live out their darkest and deepest fears.

Halloween. Deep dive into the myth of Halloween or give me something dorky. Is it about witches? Ghosts? The dead coming back to Earth? Halloween used as a backdrop.

Spirits, ghosts. Focus on life/death. Hauntings.

What is it that someone keeps hidden deep inside? What secrets do characters keep close to the chest? What does someone feel guilty over? Who is it that they grieve for?

Time loop. Things keep getting worse with every loop. Nothing seems to change regardless of what a character does. Character has to keep witnessing the people they love die—first loop is Character A, second loop is Character B. Time loops until they save the person they need to save.

Creepy forests; creepy woods. Woods being alive; trees move, vines reach out, birds watch over and report back to the heart of the woods. Something is hunting them. Little Red Riding Hood but spookier.

Stuck in an abandoned building that's haunted. Warehouse. Mansion. Asylum.

Obsessiveness. Joe Goldberg and Michael Meyers is probably the best way to explain it.

Solving cases. Are we solving a haunting? Are we looking for something in a haunted house? Do we want to prove that the allegedly haunted house isn't haunted at all? Do we want to solve a years' old murder?

Ritual sex.

Aftermath. Dealing with trauma. Sex for comfort. How do they cope after a horrific event?

Apocalypses. Zombies. Werewolves. Something magical. If your soulmate/partner dies, your time is up.

Forced to face something that they've been avoiding.

Slow-burn horror. Jumpscares. Tricking the reader. Unreliable narrator. Is this thing even haunted?

Parody/meta horror. I really love Scream and what it says on horror tropes. Spin a horror trope on its head.

Michael Meyers-esque horror figures who are just hard to kill and are absolutely intimidating.

Hopeful endings. A slightly bad end is great, but having an ending that's hopeful or bittersweet is more preferred than a bad end for the selected characters. (A Series of Unfortunate Events has the type of hopeful endings that I like.)

Favourite horror films/tv: Scream, Scream 2, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween (2018), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003, 2006), The Frighteners (1996), Saw I, Jeepers Creepers, What Lies Beneath, House on Haunted Hill (1999), Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, American Psycho, Hocus Pocus, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Stranger Things (season 1 and 4's mystery and vibe), You (book and Netflix), and The Vampire Diaries seasons 1-2 had great horror-like vibes.

Dr Strange: Multiverse of Madness had a lot of horror tropes that I liked—a hard-to-beat villain, jumpscares, psychological trauma on display, guilt on display, doppelgängers, and dark magic.

HALLOWEEN LIKES

Halloween

• Trick-or-treating.

GENERAL DISLIKES

First person POV unless it's requested Joe Goldberg or epistolary. I'd like to avoid receiving it as the primary narrative POV.

Animal abuse or cruelty. I'd prefer this to be excluded even if it's a canonical event.

AUs such as:

• Unrequested setting changes such as space, regency, and medieval that aren't created from time travelling. If the new setting is treated as always being the canon setting, I'd like to opt-out of it.


• Unrequested changing a character's species.


• Mundane aus such as coffee shop (or any shop), everyone's in high school, everyone is a musician, superpowered characters were never given their superpowers and thus don't exist in a superpower canon.


• Different first-meets.


• Any unrequested AUs. I like my AUs to exist in the canon as we know it.

Character bashing wherein the focus on a particular character is only extremely negative, i.e. they're consistently put down for the sake of advancing the requested relationship with it made very clear that they have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I'm happy for character studies on these characters and for negative traits and decisions to be mentioned/discussed and those be the reasons why a relationship breakdown happens (some people do make shitty decisions, after all!), but I'd prefer that they be nuanced and fair and not be passionate putdowns. (For instance, if X lies to Requested Character and Requested Character feels they can never trust them again, that's fine!)

Deathfic where a requested character dies and it's an unhappy ending. I'm okay with secondary characters dying. I'm okay with a requested character who has died being dead and exploring death as long as they are not killed and have an unhappy ending in the fic. (Exploring purgatory/what comes after death is fine.) I'm okay with canonically dead characters being dead as long as the fic isn't killing them.

Extreme underage. I prefer anything that features someone 16 years and older.

References to terminal illnesses and COVID unless it's a part of the canon.

Unrequested genderswaps and sexuality headcanons.

Unrequested permanent changes to a character's species. Generally when I prompt it, I like it to be temporary.

Unrequested ships being the main focus. Acknowledgement of canon ships or past ships is fine. Background ships is A-OK. If the ship isn't one of my requested ships or a canon ship, please don't include it.

Violent rape. I'd prefer to avoid receiving anything noncon where the victim is slapped, hit, thrown violently around, etc. Manhandling is fine.

[ Back to top ]

SMUT DISLIKES

A/B/O.

Daddy/mommy kink.

Mpreg.

Mutilation, vore.

Scat. Vomit.

Tentacles.

Unrequested noncon. Sexual violence, including violent rape.

Watersports or any bathroom play.

[ Back to top ]

---

HORROR DISLIKES

Animal cruelty, mutilation, etc.

Apocalypse: COVID-19. If you want to do an apocalypse that is virus-based, as long as it isn't COVID-19 (I'm happy for a fictional virus), I'm all good.

Body horror/mutilation. (If you need an idea of what is too much for me, Saw II onwards.) I'm okay with people getting physically hurt and bleeding, but I want to opt out of receiving loss of limbs and eye gore etc.

Eye trauma.

Permanent character death of requested characters. Other characters are all good! (If I requested a character that isn't in the pairing you selected to write, kill 'em!)

Permanent monster transformations. Cool with a character temporarily being a werewolf. This is excepted if the character is canonically a monster i.e. werewolf.

Medical horror involving using instruments to torture someone (I'm fine if it leads up to it and then it doesn't happen).

[ Back to top ]

ART DISLIKES

Any animal abuse.

Detailed images of spiders.

Explicit wounds like torn skin and guts, including eye trauma. I'm cool with a lot of blood.

Explicit vomit.

DCU (COMICS)

COMICS FAMILIARITY

I have read:
Batman: The Long Halloween
Batman: The Dark Victory
Batman: Hush
Catwoman: When in Rome
Batgirl: Year One
Robin: Year One
Nightwing (Tom Taylor)
— For a more updated version of the comics I'm familiar with, you can check out this post.

REQUESTS:

Bruce/Selina

Bruce

Selina

Harvey Dent | Two Face

The Joker

Dick

BRUCE/SELINA

TL;DR:

I have always loved Bruce/Selina and Selina Kyle. I've loved them in every iteration—Batman Returns, Nolanverse Batman, Gotham, Titans (even though we've only had mentions of Selina!), and the comics. (I haven't seen RPattz Batman yet.) I'm happy if you want to turn this into one of those interpretations, too.

What I love about Bruce and Selina is that Bruce is this broody almost antisocial person who seems really cool and aloof, and Selina is the one who easily gets under his skin. I loved in The Long Halloween/The Dark Victory universe that she never gave up on him. She always needled him and pushed his buttons, and I love that she never, ever lets him push her away (even though she did go to Rome).

What I loved about Hush was how Bruce was so in love with Selina and he let her in despite his hang-ups and his walls. He let himself be vulnerable and still put his foot in it. I loved how he was so distracted by how he wanted her to know who he was and to be with her and to let himself be happy. I love the push and pull, the denial, the complex layer of the fact that Selina operates in this grey area while Bruce prefers to see things as black and white as it's so much easier for him at times. I like that she challenges him and that she encourages him to see that not everything is good/bad but can be both at the same time and sometimes.

I really like their banter, their snark, and how Selina always has the upper-hand even when he's saving her. His hardness softens around her, and I really like how Batman and Bruce experience this.

I really like how Selina softens and lets him get under her skin, and her "I'm in it for me" becomes "I'm in it for this man, too" and she goes out of her way to protect him. But what i like most about her is that she doesn't compromise herself despite changing her tack sometimes. Selina is Selina through and through and she doesn't allow Bruce to give her any less than what she deserves.

I love all of the Bat Rogues, but in particular I love Two-Face, the Joker, the Riddler, Harley and Poison Ivy. (I'm more than happy for anyone else to appear!)

PROMPTS:

The Long Halloween comes back for a third and final act. (Think Scream 3.)

How does Bruce react when Selina is injured?

Selina knows Bruce is Batman and Batman is Bruce, even though he hasn't admitted as much to her. So, for Halloween, she dresses up at Batman to make it very obvious she knows and she's fine with it.

Selina steals a cursed object.

Kissing on the rooftop.

Taking care of each other, whether that be wound dressing, making dinner, or simply sitting side by side after a hard day.

Carving pumpkins. Decorating Wayne Manor.

Bruce didn't want to celebrate Halloween (even though he secretly did). Selina decorates the Batcave, anyway.

Bruce repairs Selina's suit. Is this a costume?

Selina's cats warm to Bruce.

Dressing up a cat as Batman.

BRUCE WAYNE

TL;DR:

I love Bruce because he's so stubborn and he really digs deep in his stubbornness to do good in a city that simply won't allow him. I love that he is someone who does his best and who always learns from his mistakes. I love how his biggest flaw is his hubris. He sees a boy who's the mirror image of him and so he shapes him more into his mirror because that's the only way Bruce knows how to cope with life.

I find it fascinating how he's able to be Bruce and Batman. I feel like he's someone who may sometimes really prefer to be Batman and see him as his identity, while sometimes he prefers to be Bruce. Where does Bruce begin and Batman end?

I ship Bruce with Selina, Diana, Lois, and Iris. I'd love to see him interact with his villains, his batkids, and Clark.

PROMPTS:

He's haunted by the Halloween Killer.

Manifestations of guilt. Does he feel guilty about Dick? Jason? Selina? His parents?

He's haunted by twisted versions of his parents' ghosts.

Bruce dresses up as Batman for Halloween. He's the only one who thinks its brilliant.

During Halloween, Bruce becomes his costume and he's able to control bats.

Bruce celebrates Halloween with Dick for the first time.

Bruce funds a Halloween party. How badly does that go?

[ Back to top ]

SELINA KYLE

TL;DR:

I have always loved Selina Kyle. I think she's awesome. I love that she is so unquestionably herself. She knows what she wants and what she deserves and she's not afraid to go after it and refuse being given less than what she knows she deserves.

I love her blunt nature, her tenacity, and how she fully believes in what she's doing is right. I like that she's a morally grey character who may not have powers like Superman, but she's still a formidable person in her own right.

And I love that she loves cats.

I ship Selina with Bruce. If you want to include other characters, I also love Lois Lane, Clark Kent, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, the entire Falcone family, Harvey Dent, The Joker, and The Riddler.

PROMPTS:

The Long Halloween comes back for a third and final act.

What happens when she finds out she truly is Falcone's daughter?

Selina had been trying to get Bruce to dress up for Halloween, much to his chagrin. She thinks he won't want to wear a couple's costume. Surprise, surprise—he does.

Selina needs help on Halloween because she stole a cursed object. Who does she go to? How does she solve this?

Selina dresses up her cats.

Selina carves a cat pumpkin.

[ Back to top ]

HARVEY DENT | TWO FACE

TL;DR:

I have always loved Harvey Dent in the live action adaptations and I really, really loved him in the Long Halloween comic book run. I love that he's such a good doer and I love that when he experiences his trauma, he's still intense about upholding the law.

He represents two polar opposite sides—someone who is so morally good it's obnoxious at times and someone who is so broken that he believes what he's doing is right. What I like most about Two Face is how he takes the law into his own hands and really goes to town in destroying everything Harvey represented, despite the fact it's something he still believes in.

I really like Harvey/Gilda and wouldn't even mind Harvey/Selina. I like him interacting with anyone—the Batman Rogues and the heroes.

PROMPTS:

People dress up as Two Face. How does Harvey respond?

Visiting his grave.

Does the acid have side effects that make him see what he truly wants? Perhaps Scarecrow's toxins make Two Face see everything Harvey still desires.

Haunted by his own guilt at being powerless.

Harvey decides that he's going to take over Gotham on Halloween because why the fuck not?

Two Face dresses up. What if he dresses up as Harvey Dent?

Batman Rogue Halloween party. Who's the best dressed? (Harvey, of course! Have you seen his suit?)

[ Back to top ]

THE JOKER

TL;DR:

The Joker has always been one of my favourite Batman villains in the films and I really, really loved him in the comics. His character design in The Long Halloween book was so disturbing and amazing. I really like how his colours pop.

What I love about The Joker is how he's such a character. He really, really goes in deep with his persona and he really is the opposite of a good time. I really like how fucked up he is. I like how he will always go above and beyond and has no limits. I like how he's this formidable rogue who is so terrifying and seems to just do things because he can… and I also really like how he's intelligent too.

I'd love to see him interact with other villains and heroes. I don't mind Harley/Joker, but I'd love to see her kick his ass.

PROMPTS:

The Joker dresses up as Batman or Bruce for Halloween.

He carves a pumpkin that smiles just like him.

What if he tries to solve a crime?

He's haunted by Jason Todd.

What if his smiling masks become animated due to Halloween?

[ Back to top ]

DICK GRAYSON

TL;DR:

I really love what I've read about Dick. I love him in Titans (TV) and have really enjoyed seeing him in the comics and how he's someone who wants to do good and not be a reflection of Batman entirely.

I really like how he's a kid who just wants a family and wants someone to stay. I love how he's so determined, pigheaded, and does the right thing no matter what. And I love how he's such a shameless flirt. I like how he's the complete opposite of Bruce—he's light, despite his grief. He doesn't allow it to completely succumb him as Bruce does.

I really love him as Nightwing (his suit pops!).

I ship him with Barbara and Koriand'r. I'd love to see him interact with Bruce, Selina, the Bat Rogues, Jason and Tim.

PROMPTS:

He's haunted by his parents.

Dick takes Koriand'r to her first Halloween party.

Dick dresses up as Batman or Bruce to make fun of Bruce.

What if a spell or toxin on Halloween takes him back to Haly's Circus and into an alternate universe where his family is alive and he's lived a seemingly happy life?

Trick-or-treating.

He's haunted by Jason.

Does Dick feel guilty about his parents?

He ends up picking up a cursed object.

MARVEL 616 (COMICS)

COMICS FAMILIARITY

I have read:
Fraction's Hawkeye
Robinson's Scarlet Witch
Brubaker's The Winter Soldier
Cain's Mockingbird
Liu's Black Widow: The Name of the Rose
— For a more updated version of the comics I'm familiar with, you can check out this post.

REQUESTS:

Lucky

Clint/Kate

Clint & Kate

Bucky/Natasha

Wanda

LUCKY

TL;DR:

I love animals and I love Lucky. There isn't really too much to say other than he's cute, he's the best, he's the most awesome superhero, and I think that he deserves all the walks in the world!

Given that he has one eye and has a bit of a trauma-filled backstory in the Fraction comics, I'm happy for any gifts to explore his past as long as there isn't any graphic animal abuse depictions. References to it is all okay, but I'd prefer it not to be the focus of the work (i.e. it's all about Lucky losing his eye).

I also refuse to accept his ending in Fraction's comic since??? Only happiness for Lucky!

I would love to see him interact with other animals (comic animals (from Marvel and DC!) and original). Characters I'd like: Clint, Kate, Bobbi, Bucky, Natasha, Wanda, Peter Parker, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Sif and Thor.

PROMPTS:

Lucky goes for a walk. What does he see? Who does he meet?

Dressing up for Halloween. Which superhero does he go as?

Trick-or-treating.

Ghost hunting.

Lucky is haunted by a ghost that needs help to crossover. Perhaps it's another dog. (Think All Dogs Go to Heaven.)

Lucky helps another dog that's haunted.

Lucky helps Kate sort out her closet.

Kate's favourite shoe goes missing. How does he find it?

What happens when Lucky finds himself in an alternate universe? (What if he ends up in DCU?)

[ Back to top ]

CLINT/KATE + CLINT & KATE

TL;DR:

Oh my god, these two are incredible in Fraction's comic! I love Kate so much—I love that she's so hopeless but she always means well and tries to do the right thing. I like how Clint is someone who is the same way, but he's a little more jaded than Kate who bursts with optimism. I like how Kate doesn't put up with Clint's shit and calls him out on being a shitty person, and I like how she challenges him to be better simply by holding her own against him and knowing when she deserves better.

I really love Clint's humour and how hopeless he is. I would love to receive something that includes Clint who is deaf or hard of hearing. I felt like the comic did such a great job capturing Clint's POV after he was attacked and would love to see a continuation of that exploration.

I ship them and also like them as friends. If you choose to make them gen, I do love Clint/Bobbi in the comics, too.

PROMPTS:

These prompts are both shippy and gen.

Kate wants them to dress up in a couple's costume. Is this a rendition of the Hawkeye costume?

Clint gives Kate a special Halloween trick arrow.

Kate wants to go trick-or-treating. Clint's Clint about it.

Ghost haunting. Ghost hunting.

The building is haunted.

What if Kate touches a cursed object and reawakens some monster from its slumber?

What if Madame Masque comes after Kate again?

Clint and Kate decorate his apartment building.

Clint, Kate and Lucky go trick-or-treating.

Costume sex.

[ Back to top ]

BUCKY/NATASHA

TL;DR:

I am so obsessed with these two that I went and bought The Winter Soldier comic book because I needed more of them than what the MCU gave me.

I'm mostly familiar with Brubaker's version of the two of them, so I'll be mostly talking about that. I'm happy to receive them from any other comic issue!

I love that Bucky doesn't smother Natasha and try to protect her. I love that he knows she's more than capable and admires that in her and allows her to save herself. I really appreciate how they work so well together—they compliment one another rather than work against one another. I love how Natasha grounds Bucky and reminds him he has worth. I like how she doesn't see him as a killer.

What I love the most about any iteration of WinterWidow is their Red Room history. How did they fall in love? How did they meet? Why did Bucky grow attached to Natasha? How did Natasha help him? Their history and relationship is just perfect and hits every trope I love.

PROMPTS:

Liho and Alpine. Do they dress up? Get into the candy? Ruin pumpkins? Eat the cobwebs?

Natasha wants to go trick-or-treating, though she knows Bucky won't. She baits him regardless.

Natasha dresses up as Bucky.

The Red Room mind controls one of them.

One of them has to pretend they're mind controlled for a mission.

This is the first time Bucky's celebrating Halloween.

A cursed object's thrown into the mix! Did someone steal it? Are they going to retrieve it?

Post-Brubaker's The Winter Soldier: Natasha starts to remember.

[ Back to top ]

WANDA

TL;DR:

I love that comics Wanda is so intricately tied to her magic. I really enjoyed Robinson's Scarlet Witch as it explored her ties to magic and how she relates to it.

I really like how Wanda is snarky and gentle, and how she's someone who understands her magic and is constantly learning. I really like how she's a powerful character who understands she can hurt people and wants to atone for the pain she's caused.

I ship her with Pietro and Vision, but I'm also happy for her to be paired with someone else. I would love to see her interact with Billy, Tommy, Agatha, her mother and Magneto.

PROMPTS:

Wanda dresses up as a witch.

She has a cat familiar.

Her mother visits her from the Witches' Road.

Wanda has to enter the Witches' Road again. Is it corrupt? Is magic dying?

Magic either dies on Halloween or is amplified. What happens when magic brings monsters to life and people's worst fears?

Wanda celebrating Halloween with her family. Is this real? An illusion?

THE BOYS (TV)

SHIPS:

Homelander/Starlight

Homelander/Queen Maeve

DNWS:

You can ignore my DNW for mommy kink for this one given that it's Homelander and I really find his issues fascinating. I just ask that no one is called "mommy" or "daddy" in the sense that they're being seen as a parental figure (and it bordering on baby kink). I don't mind those terms being used as a sign of authority in the same way "sir" and "ma'am" is.

HOMELANDER/STARLIGHT

TL;DR:

What attracts me to these two is the power imbalance and how that can shift between them depending on the field they're playing on. Homelander obviously has the physical power—he's a pseudo god with his powers and even his arrogance—but Annie has emotional maturity and power that he severely lacks. After all, she knows who she is even outside of the suit. I find it poignant that we never see Homelander in anything over than his suit (or naked).

I really liked #Homelight in season 3 and wish we got to see more of them fake dating. Annie was in a precarious position with the knowledge that Homelander was going off the rails with his arrogance and paranoia, and I really wanted to see her go toe to toe with him with Edgar Stan's backing. I feel like she can definitely throw him off kilter (she did with that kiss—it proved she can meet him tit for tat) and I wish we got to see Annie grow more confident as a leader of the Seven.

Homelander being knocked down a few pegs by women (especially) pleases me greatly. He has an incredible lack of belonging that really makes how he tries to communicate with people so fucked up. I'd have loved to have seen Homelander try and play the power card over Annie (like he did threatening Hughie and Super Sonic) but I wish we got to see him try and play on her field of attempting to be a human.

The power imbalance and the power fighting are fantastic with these two.

I'm happy to receive anything dark or even light with them.

PROMPTS:

I loved seeing Homelander's scene with him talking to himself in the mirror. What if we expanded upon that? What if that was some other Supe fucking with him? What if how Homelander presented himself to the media and how he presented himself to his teammates was starting to truly manifest?

I think it'd be hilarious to see Homelander go up against some Halloween monster. What if Annie saved him? What if this monster was immortal?

Manifestations of their own guilt. What if Annie's haunted by something she deeply regrets and Homelander reluctantly helps her?

What happens when Homelander threatens Hughie and means it?

What happens when Homelander decides Annie would be a perfect part of his perfect family?

What happens in the aftermath of Soldier Boy? Does Soldier Boy haunt Homelander in his dreams?

I'd love to read about Annie using her powers for more than just glowing her eyes. She has such an interesting powerset we never get to see her use! What if her powers trigger something?

What happens when a Supe with the power of dream manipulation or reality manipulation puts them in a reality where they're married? (If you've seen Smallville, think Lexmas.) What happens when Homelander's thrown into a world or dream where he's married to Annie and has the life he's always wanted?

I think it'd be hilarious to see Homelander and Halloween. Does he celebrate? I'm sure Annie would enjoy dressing up as someone who isn't Starlight. Does he go trick-or-treating with her at Ashley's urging?

Homelander takes Ryan trick-or-treating. Because he's still playing up #Homelight, Annie comes along.

[ Back to top ]

HOMELANDER/MAEVE

TL;DR:

I love these two because of how the power sits with them both. Maeve is apparently the second strongest Supe in the Seven and yet we never get to see her in action much. I enjoyed what we got to see of Homelander and Maeve—he's intimidating because of his attitude and arrogance and possessiveness, not his powers, and Maeve is intimidating to him for what she represents to him: a future.

Although their relationship is so fucked, I really enjoy it. I personally believe Homelander does love Maeve—perhaps an idea of her or even truly her. I would be up for anything that's set pre-show or even an au of the show. I wish we got to see her step into the co-leader role. I wish we got to see more of Homelander heeling at her feet… and even see his jealousy. He cared for her, even if it was in a completely fucked up way.

I'd love to see Maeve at the peak of her powers. I feel like she was significantly nerfed—she's a trained fighter, more than he is, and I feel like she gets the short end of the stick a lot. Let her kick his ass. Let him be afraid. Let him even enjoy it.

I'm happy to receive anything dark or even light with them.

PROMPTS:

I'd love to see Homelander and Maeve celebrate Halloween. Did Maeve encourage Homelander back when they were together to celebrate?

What happens when Homelander finds out Maeve's alive? Does he try and find her? Does he manipulate her? Does he try and turn her back into a Supe?

What if Soldier Boy didn't take away Maeve's powers, but amplified them? I'd love to see her torment Homelander.

What happens when Homelander's made mortal? Whether it's temporary or permanent is up to you.

They are primed for manifestations of guilt—especially Maeve with the plane.

What happens when a Supe with the power of dream manipulation or reality manipulation puts them in a reality where they're married? (If you've seen Smallville, think Lexmas.) What happens when Homelander's thrown into a world or dream where he's married to Maeve and has the life he's always wanted?

Has Maeve ever manipulated Homelander via his mommy issues?

Homelander's attempts at being a normal boyfriend. How disastrous is it? Does he actually make a heartfelt attempt at being a good boyfriend?

They have to star in a horror movie. What if props come to life?

THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR (TV)

SHIPS:

Owen/Hannah

Peter/Rebecca

OWEN/HANNAH

TL;DR:

THEY DEPRESS ME AND MAKE ME CRY.

That's how I sum these two up. I love how mature they are and how they respect one another. They never take up each other's space. I just love their quiet intimacy and how they are such a good pair. I like how Owen teases Hannah but Hannah will always get the one-up on him because she's a playful no nonsense type of person. I like how Hannah won't allow herself to be happy but Owen's mere presence changes this. The fact that she kept returning to the first time she met Owen and her subconscious took the form of Owen when she realised her truth means so much!

PROMPTS:

Missing moments.

Hannah finds peace, but is able to visit Owen once Viola leaves.

Hannah is stuck in a timeloop after Viola leaves.

Owen keeps returning to Bly in the hopes he'll find Hannah. Perhaps on one Halloween, she comes to him.

Owen playfully trick-or-treats with Hannah. Perhaps this is before she dies? Maybe it's even after.

When Owen dies, Hannah's there to greet him.

What if Viola's tie to the house isn't just because she died on the grounds, but because she's feeding off the ghosts there? How does this affect Hannah?

[ Back to top ]

PETER/REBECCA

TL;DR:

I know these two are toxic af, but I cannot ignore that chemistry. I really enjoyed how they are the epitome of toxic love and obsession. Rebecca's independent and knows what she wants, but she succumbs to Peter's charms perhaps out of her own isolation and loneliness and after finding kinship with him. Peter's someone who doesn't realise you can't simply possess someone. I did like that despite his toxic manipulativeness, Peter was an interesting character who had his own charm.

I really liked their dynamic and how Rebecca did stand her ground with Peter (even in the face of his manipulation). I love how Rebecca is a strong person emotionally (especially with what she did for Flora).

Also: height difference!

I'm happy to receive something that explores their toxic dynamic or something that shows the less manipulative moments of their relationship.

PROMPTS:

Peter haunts Rebecca while she's still alive.

When Peter possesses Rebecca, she's able to control him.

Rebecca learns how to use her ghostliness to manipulate Peter. Does she change the scenery on him? Possess him?-

After Viola leaves, where do they go?

Did they ever get to celebrate Halloween before they died?

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (TV)

SHIPS:

Olivia Crain

Nell/Luke

Nell & Luke

OLIVIA CRAIN

TL;DR:

Aside from the fact I just love Carla Gugino, I found Olivia Crain so fascinating and it's because of her performance. I love how she tried her best not to succumb to the house and failed to do so. I love how creepy she became and how obsessive she was in needing to protect her children.

I'm happy for her to interact with her family and even Poppy. I'd just love a character study on her many facets and her experience with life and death and being stuck as a ghost.

PROMPTS:

Did Olivia ever question Poppy?

Did Olivia ever have moments where she was lucid after she died? Did she try and fight the house even as a ghost?

Did she try and warn her children away from the house?

She haunts her children beyond the house.

What happens to her when it all ends? Her husband and youngest daughter are with her. Is she happy?

Does her ghost continue mapping out the plan of her house?

Does she become lucid and try to save Nell?

[ Back to top ]

LUKE/NELL + LUKE & NELL

TL;DR:

I love Luke and Nell and how they are both polar opposites and still two sides of the same coin. I really liked their relationship and how they really explored the twin thing with them. I would've loved to have seen more of Luke dealing with losing Nell and how he felt her die and couldn't do anything about it. While Nell had the deepest connection to the house out of all the kids, he had the closest connection with her.

PROMPTS:

My prompts can be taken as either gen or shippy.

Because Nell has a connection with the house, does Luke by association?

Nell haunts Luke. Is it a nice haunting? Does she protect him from other ghosts?

Luke visits Nell's grave.

Halloween is where the dead can enter the land of the living. Does Nell come and visit Luke?

Nell and Luke are soulmates. How does her being dead impact this?

Ghost sex.

Luke's visited by Nell as a child.

Luke's trapped in a timeloop where he tries to save Nell and never can.

ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING (TV)

REQUESTS:

Mabel & Oliver (& the Charles is silent)

CANON DNWS: Alice/Mabel.

MABEL & OLIVER (& THE CHARLES IS SILENT)

TL;DR:

I LOVE this show. I love Oliver. I love how these three work so well together. I love the humour and how everyone in the Arconia is such a unique character themselves. I particularly loved season one and how it was so intricately tied to Mabel's past and let us see into the history of the Arconia.

I'd love something that shows how well these three work together as a cohesive and sometimes questionable unit. Their chemistry is insane and I absolutely love how they all just gel together so well. (I've rewatched season one so many times it's not even funny.) I'm up for something dark, something goofy and not serious, and something that toes that line.

For ships, I like Mabel/Oscar and Mabel/Theo.

PROMPTS:

Of course, they solve a murder.

Oliver wants them all to dress up as Halloween.

People become their Halloween costumes.

Halloween at the Arconia. What's this like? Are people happy to trick-or-treat? Does the entire building play a game of murder in the dark or role-play Cluedo?

The Arconia has tunnels. Surely something suss can happen! What if there's a monster in the walls? What if the tunnels move, so one day the tunnel from Charles' bathroom will lead straight ahead and the next day it'll be turning to the left.

WHAT IF…? (TV)

REQUESTS:

Zombie!Wanda/Vision

Zombie!Wanda

ZOMBIE!WANDA/VISION

TL;DR:

I can't believe this show really demonstrated how Wanda and Vision are legit ride or die for one another. I love how Vision doesn't let Wanda go the same way Wanda refused to let Vision go in WandaVision. They being out the best and worst in one another, and I think the latter only really happens because they've been alone for the majority of their lives and found someone in each other.

I really loved how Vision threw away his morality to save Wanda and believed that she was still there beneath the virus. I didn't quite like how he pulled the Mind Stone out of his head at the end—surely, he could've used that to continue controlling all the zombies and use that to communicate with Wanda? That was the only thing I felt was a little amiss since he just… abandoned her.

I like how even as a zombie, Wanda still goes hard for Vision and feels grief and love for him. I really wish we got more of them!

PROMPTS:

How did Wanda become a zombie?

Wanda tries to feed off of Vision. What happens?

What's the virus like? Is Wanda lucid beneath it? Is she in control or is the virus?

Did Wanda try and move the virus out of herself?

Wanda projects into Vision's mind her perfect idyllic life with him.

Who was the first person she killed and how did it come about?

Did Vision try and get bitten by a zombie so he could turn?

What if Vision found the Time Stone and was stuck in a timeloop of trying to save Wanda?

[ Back to top ]

ZOMBIE!WANDA

TL;DR:

We love a queen who is still a boss even while being a zombie! Multitasking Scarlet Witch! I love how Wanda was still a formidable force and a complex character despite us only seeing her for a handful of minutes. I wonder if she's still lucid beneath the virus. Is she still there? How much of her is warped by the virus? Is she always trying to fight it? I really wonder how someone who's been established as a powerhouse and almost invincible due to her power level was bitten by a zombie.

PROMPTS:

How did Wanda become a zombie? Did she sacrifice herself? Was it by surprise?

She tries to mind control the zombies. Is she successful? Can she feel the person they used to be? Can she speak to them?

Wanda tries to resurrect Pietro.

Does she try to rewind time to stop Vision from dying?

Did she try and rewrite her DNA so she wasn't a zombie?

Is Wanda at peace?

CAPTAIN AMERICA MOVIES (MOVIES)

COMICS FAMILIARITY

I have read:
Ed Brubaker's "The Winter Soldier"
James Robinson's "The Scarlet Witch"
Young Avengers
Liu's Black Widow: The Name of the Rose
— For a more updated version of the comics I'm familiar with, you can check out this post.

Entries in the MCU that I enjoy the most:
The Winter Soldier
Infinity War
Homecoming
Far From Home
No Way Home
Black Widow
WandaVision
Hawkeye
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
She-Hulk
Jessica Jones

REQUESTS:

Bucky/Natasha

Pietro & Wanda

BUCKY/NATASHA

TL;DR:

There were so many missed opportunities between Natasha and Bucky.

I particularly love their Red Room connection and history in the comics and am more than happy to have that exist in anything you create!

I love that Natasha has someone who she can love and call home and who gets that she's someone who doesn't open up easily. I feel like Natasha is someone who could give Bucky the space to learn who he is and not push him into being someone else—or someone else again. They can trauma bond, but I feel like, most importantly, they just Get one another.

They understand one another. They know what it's like to be used as objects and as instruments of destruction and mayhem. Natasha would understand what it's like not to know yourself, and I think Bucky would understand more than anything what it is like to feel like you have so much red on your hands you can't wash it off.

I think that they'd have great banter together. Natasha's dry wit with Bucky's fun ribbing would be a great fit. I think she'd make him blush a lot, but he'd definitely make her blush with his well-intentioned compliments and even his own gentle jesting.

Please feel free to add in any comic book history and influences. I'd love it if Natasha calls Bucky "James" and Bucky calls her "Natalia" (only if it suits the story!). Please feel free to dig into their respective PTSD if you so wish!

PROMPTS:

What happened during their time in the Red Room? Did the Red Room require the Winter Soldier to have sex with the Widows? Did the Red Room require Soldat to sexually train the Widows? How did the Red Room punish them for being together? What happens when they sneak around? What happens when Natasha asks the Soldat to help her prepare for a mission where she needs to seduce a man? What if Bucky helped Natasha escape the Red Room?

Natasha comes back from the dead. What if Bucky went back and resurrected her? What if she came back wrong? What if something happened where their life forces are now linked together?

Natasha forces Bucky to go to a Halloween party.

What if Bucky's arm is cursed?

What happens when a cursed object is activated?

What happens when one of them finds a genie lamp and has three wishes?

Trick-or-treating.

Visiting their tombstones.

Bucky dresses up in his old (modified) war uniform.

Aesthetically—and shallowly—I like Bucky with his short hair (and in his dumb blue shirt) and Natasha with her Black Widow hair. I loved that it was long and a vibrant red. (I also love the significance of the braids—her braids became more pronounced as she became more in touch and comfortable with her family.)

PIETRO & WANDA

TL;DR:

These prompts are for AOU and WandaVision Pietros since I imagine both will affect Wanda regardless of the canon we're focusing on. Feel free to do any Pietro your heart fancies!

Wanda and Pietro are such an interesting dynamic that I wish were explored more in the MCU. I love the overprotective older brother and the spitfire and overprotective younger sister. I love that they are each other's person. I love that you can't have one without the other—and that when you do, the entire world is unbalanced because of it.

I'm happy for Pietro to have been brought back from his death or be a figment of Wanda's imagination. I'm happy for him to still have died and come back in some way—or for any fic to exist before his ridiculous death in AOU. I wish we got more of these two—they're each other's person, Wanda joined Hydra because of Pietro, and no one can convince me that Wanda didn't give Pietro his powers.

I'm also happy if you want to write this as a /.

PROMPTS:

Fietro turns out to be her Pietro, but with some of his memories missing. Wanda decides that physical touch may be the best way to jog those memories back.

Fietro's not completely right. What if Agatha's puppet has parts of Pietro's soul?

What if Wanda uses magic to try and bring her Pietro back, but she needs to use Fietro to do it?

Wanda tries to bring her Pietro back using Fietro.

If you want to make Fietro Peter from XMU like we all thought he was, please go for it!

Pietro takes Wanda trick-or-reating.

Pietro haunts Wanda.

Wanda tries to resurrect Pietro.

Pietro comes back to Wanda in the Soul Stone.

Pietro and Wanda in their Halloween costumes. (I'm obsessed.)

Wanda looks I love:
— I know he's here.
— OG Scarlet Witch outfit (this is my favourite look in the entire series).
— Literally the cutest Scarlet Witch.

READY OR NOT (MOVIE)

REQUESTS:

Daniel/Grace

DANIEL/GRACE

TL;DR:

This movie is so fucked up. I love the psychology behind it and how people will do anything and rationalise anything to ensure that they stay in some fucked up good graces.

I really like how Grace was a Final Girl like Sidney Prescott who was in over her head and easily adapted to the fucked up situation she found herself in. I love that she struggled, that she hated what she had to do, and that she was tenacious in surviving. I really liked how Daniel was so fucked up from his childhood and his shitty family that he wasn't like them at all, but was quietly rebelling while also doing his best to not spook Grace away while trying to spook her away.

I really love their chemistry and wish we got more of them in the movie. I like how he gave off a certain vibe that worked against his desire to see Grace out of the family. I love how Grace came to trust Daniel because he was the only one who was real with her from the very beginning (even pre-movie). I love the guy who's so tired and messed up but still does the right thing despite being forced to do the wrong thing and even play along—and I love the girl who comes out of this shitty thing a little charred, but no longer as naive as she was before.

PROMPTS:

I know this fandom has a lot of timeloops, so why don't we throw in one more? What if Mr Le Bail threw Daniel and Grace into one because he wanted to see Daniel fight for himself? What if he liked Daniel and wanted him to live but wanted him to fight for it?

What if Mr Le Bail was like a genie and could grant three wishes? Are his wishes literal? Do they come with a caveat? Does he twist them around?

Mr Le Bail likes Grace… so he decides to throw her into a timeloop or alternate universe to show that Daniel was the brother that was meant for her.

What if Daniel and Grace are soulmates and their mark or bond appears after his death? What if Mr Le Bail connects their souls together so Daniel can live?

What if Grace makes a deal with Mr Le Bail to bring back Daniel? He was the only one worth a damn.

So, Daniel's dead. Bugger. What if he haunts Grace? What if that's Mr Le Bail's little gift for him?

On Halloween, the barrier between life and death thins so those who are dead can return to the earth for the entire night. What if the Le Domas' come back?

What if Grace reluctantly uses the Le Domas fortune—but it's cursed. What if Daniel comes back to save her? (Or help her save herself!)

Grace gets thrown into an alternate universe where she's married and happy with Daniel and the family is not warped at all. (Perhaps it's like she's stuck in a simulation that's of Mr Le Bail's doing?)

CATS

TL;DR:

I'm combining all those tags together here in my tl;dr and will give separate prompts in this section. I'm hoping the tags are pretty self-explanatory. I just want you to have fun with this!

I love cats. I love fluffy cats. I love everything about them—them being cute, naughty, cheeky, manipulative, and sneaky. I have three cats and really appreciate anything that shows off those cat quirks—like how they fluff up their fur when they're on alert, how they narrow their eyes, how they sometimes look very sleepy because you're bothering them, and how they will sit in your spot when they know you sit there (but really, it's their spot). I love cats with patterns and cats that don't have patterns. (My cats won't let me dress them up so I'm living vicariously through the costume tag.)

For the monsters, I am open to anything—scary monsters, cute monsters, fluffy monsters… kind-hearted fluffy monsters that are cute to look at but have sinister shadows. Monsters trying to be scary and failing. Monsters who are scary trying to appear gentle and soft and failing and needing some help to appear approachable.
