316. DEAR highadrenalineexchange CREATOR.

[peaked]

Dear Heart Attack creator,

Thank you for creating something for me! You can find me at buries and finnicks. I reblog a lot of stuff I like about the canons/ships I've requested, so please feel free to use my Tumblr for inspiration if you like.

In this letter, you will find an expansion on my likes (including art likes, smut likes, aus, tropes, and other random things) and dislikes (explaining a little more in detail in case you want more information on what I'd like to avoid), and some tl;dr blabbering about the canons and ships I've requested and prompts. Everything but the canon/ship blabbering and prompts are in my sign-up.

I'm open to receiving treats and I'm more than happy to receive fic or art as a gift and/or treat. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via the mod! I will answer as quickly as I can.

Lastly, have fun creating!

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.

Daddy/Mommy kink. Female character being called "Daddy". Dependency where the caretaker partner takes care of the other. Tit sucking. Praising. Calling partner "good boy/girl" and saying things like "I'm going to take care of you".

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.

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.

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.

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 or loyalty. Huddling for warmth turns into dubious consensual sex.

Coming inside of someone when they don't want it. Locking legs around partner to ensure that they come inside of them.

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.

Pissing themselves because they're so overstimulated and aren't able to control their bladder. (Preference is for this to be accidental and not to be the core kink.)

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 ]

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 ]

---

HALLOWEEN & HORROR LIKES

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.

DO NOT WANTS

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. References are fine. I'd like to opt-out of receiving a gift that details how the abuse happened.

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 who aren't a part of my requested characters dying. I'm okay with a requested character who has died being dead and exploring death as long as it doesn't have an unhappy ending. (Exploring purgatory/what comes after death is fine.) I'm okay with canonically dead characters being dead as long as the story's central point isn't about the actual act of killing them. (Exploring how they died, their guilt, their need to move on, etc. is fine, but I want to opt out of receiving a gift where the story's sole purpose is to see the character die with no resolution/closure.) I usually include a note in my sign-up when this is excepted considering I do request canonically dead characters.

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 are 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 DNWS

A/B/O.

Mpreg.

Mutilation, vore.

Paraphilic infantilism. Adult baby. Wearing diapers, being fed like a baby, etc.

Piss drinking. Pissing on someone for sexual pleasure. (Accidental pissing and being overstimulated is the exception.) Piss being the main kink—I'd prefer it be accidental and not the core focus of any sexual encounter.

Scat. Vomit.

Tentacles.

Violent noncon where it gives the impression or is outright domestic violence. (No slapping/hitting.)

[ Back to top ]

---

HORROR & DARK DNWS

Animal cruelty, mutilation, etc. I would like to opt-out of receiving anything that showcases an animal being abused.

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 (unless otherwise requested) where the story focuses on them dying or has them permanently dying. Other characters are all good! (If I requested a character that isn't in the pairing you selected to write, kill 'em!) If the character is already dead in canon, then I'm happy to receive a gift that acknowledges that they're dead and is all about them being dead. Think purgatory-esque stories, making peace, moving on, resurrection, etc. There are some fandoms where I'm okay with the request character(s) dying, so I will always make sure to include a note whenever this DNW is excepted in my sign-up.

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).

ART DNWS

Any animal abuse.

Detailed images of spiders (especially the numerous eyes). If you want to draw me a spider, something non-detailed works!

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

Explicit vomit.

SIX OF CROWS (BOOKS)

REQUESTS: Kaz/Inej; Matthias/Nina.

KAZ/INEJ

The prompts below apply to my Six of Crows Series and Six of Crows [Safety] requests for Kaz/Inej. (The Crooked Kingdom prompts don't apply for the [SAFETY] request. I haven't made a separate section since it'll just be a copy/paste of the same thing.)

TL;DR:

I really, really love Kaz pining for Inej. I love his POV chapters so much because Inej is always on his brain—and why wouldn't she be? She's amazing! I love how he pushes her away and how he tries to put distance between them because Kaz can't do intimacy in any form that it comes in. But I love that he's ride or die and such a simp for her and will do absolutely anything for her.

AND HE WANTS TO TOUCH HER. UGH. WHAT A LOSER.

What I love about Inej is not only is she a WOC, she's given personality, a character arc, her own issues, and she's beloved by a canonical white man. (As a WOC, it's so great to see someone who looks like me be represented in such a fantastic and fully fleshed way and to be seen as a love interest rather than a mere caricature.) I love seeing Inej's strengths and her vulnerabilities, and I love, love, love how she refuses to compromise on what she wants, even if it means losing Kaz.

They work together so well. Not only are they professionally so well-tuned, I think Inej understands that Kaz has a phobia of touching and she never forces the issue. She never tries to find out his secrets. She leaves sit alone and lets him come to her in his own time. There's a level of respect between them that I love, even if Kaz can sometimes be an asshole. Inej understands Kaz on such an intimate level, even without knowing his full story. I love that Inej is his right-hand woman and that he tells her things that he doesn't share with anyone else. Their level of trust with one another is superb and so fantastic, and they're definitely what OTPs are made of.

The one thing I wish the book did was to allow Inej to exist with her trauma. She's such a compelling young woman and I'd have loved to have read more about her as a survivor than to have Inej only ever really brush her trauma aside and help Kaz navigate through his.

PROMPTS:

I've listed my prompts in a way I hope will inspire writers and artists. Please take whatever you want from the prompt that's inspired you. These are just meant to be thought starters and no way prescribe the exact thing I want.

GENERAL NOTES: I'm more than happy for you to create the characters in their likeness from the television show. (You don't have to if you don't wish to!)

SAFETY-SPECIFIC

What if after the Ice Court heist, Kaz tends to Inej's burnt feet and things escalate? Does he express his feelings? Does Inej start to ice him out because he put her life in jeopardy? I feel we didn't get a lot of emotional fallout or aftermath of the heist.

After Inej is injured at the Harbour, what if Kaz went and checked in on her when she was passed out?

I'd love to see some missing scenes explored: Kaz wanting to speak to Inej but struggling to find a reason to. Kaz checking in on Inej when they're back on the ship to ensure her feet are okay. Checking in after the heist given that Heleen was present at the party.

What happens if Heleen didn't let the Fjerdan guards take Inej away, but insisted that she remain with the Menagerie where she belonged?

SERIES-SPECIFIC (NOT SAFETY)

What happens when Inej has nightmares about being kidnapped by Van Eck again? How does she seek comfort? How does Kaz choose to comfort her?

What if we had another bathroom scene in CK where Inej tended to Kaz's wounds from his fight at the Dregs? What if Inej bitched him out for making such a dangerous play?

What if Kaz actually acknowledged what Inej shared with him in the bathroom about her own trauma?

What happens when Kaz joins Inej on her pirate ship? Does he share her quarters?

What happens when Van Eck will only release Inej if Kaz has to do the one thing he's picked up on he doesn't want to do? What if he has to touch her?

An exploration of Inej's sexual trauma. The books really skimmed over this a lot and I felt that was a disservice to Inej.

Inej on her pirate ship. Does Kaz join her? Does Kaz visit the pier every day waiting to see her on the horizon? Does he sail out after her when he hears she's in trouble?

APPLICABLE TO EITHER REQUEST

Kaz or Inej have a nightmare. The other person comforts them.

What happens when Kaz wants to touch Inej? How far does he go?

What happens when Inej is triggered when…
— Having consensual touching and/or sex with Kaz?
— Someone else touches her?

What if Kaz is irrationally jealous because Inej has been touching Jesper or another man without flinching?

What happens when Kaz notices Inej flinch when someone touches her? Does he pull her away? Does he help her recenter herself?

What happens when the only way Kaz can get a kidnapped Inej back (or Inej from Heleen) is to prove he'll do anything for Inej, even if that means proving his loyalty and love for her by having sex with her? (I'd love fallout from this, too.)

Braiding Inej's hair. Does Inej teach Kaz over the years of their relationship how to complete intricate braids? Does Kaz surprise her by simply knowing how to already?

Kaz and Inej's progression of touch. How do they test the boundaries of holding hands? How does Kaz allow himself to feel more vulnerable? (Does he start off by wearing his gloves?) How does Inej become comfortable with touch?

Haunted by ghosts. What happens when Jordie haunts Kaz? What happens when Jordie haunts Inej?

The Saints look down upon Inej.

MATTHIAS/NINA

TL;DR:

Ugh. THESE TWO. They are so useless together! I love how they're an enemies to lovers trope. I love how Matthias has damned everything he knows to be with Nina and I love that Nina, who can absolutely kill this man, doesn't. I loved their scenes in the whale huts. I loved their angst. I love how Matthias is all grizzly on the outside but simps hard for Nina on the inside. They're absolutely perfect together and I love how complimentary they are despite being polar opposites.

I love that Nina talks and is vulgar and owns her confidence. She's sexually confident and shows it, and I love how she refuses to allow anyone to shame her for it. I love how she's sassy and I love how she always has something smart to say. She definitely keeps people at a difference as emotional vulnerability doesn't seem to be a thing she particularly favours. I also love her Grisha ability and the fact that she tries to use facets of it to help others even if she's not skilled in it.

Matthias is such a softie. "My ghost won't associate with your ghost." Nina's always on the brain. I love how he's this reluctant Crow, but he never, ever betrays them, even when he should. He's got a heart of gold, even if he's misguided by how he was raised.

PROMPTS:

I've listed my prompts in a way I hope will inspire writers and artists. Please take whatever you want from the prompt that's inspired you. These are just meant to be thought starters and no way prescribe the exact thing I want.

THE HUNGER GAMES (BOOKS)

REQUESTS: Finnick/Annie.

DNWs: Finnick's canonical death. Annie's PTSD characterised as her being child-like.

FINNICK/ANNIE

What I love most about Finnick and Annie's relationship is that if it wasn't for the Games, their relationship would be regarded as any other relationship, but because Finnick is who he is and Annie's perceived the way that she is, they're a secret relationship that's so layered due to the politics of the world.

I love Finnick and how he turned a really shitty, abusive situation into one that benefited him. I like the idea of him being someone who's incredibly protective of the people around him and those he cares about, and losing that romantic outlook on the Games as time goes on. I'd love to receive something that explores his relationship with the Games, the persona he has to put forward in order to appease Snow, the ways he loses himself and regains himself, and how Annie helps centre him.

I feel like Annie is a bit of a blank book at times, especially since her characterisation feels very one-note in the books. But what I like about Annie is that she's clearly a strong person who was broken down by the Games and the compounded trauma she experienced in such a little space of time. She's from a Career District, so surely she would've been trained in preparation for being reaped. I like the idea of her being a headstrong person who's traumatised by what she's been forced to endure. I'd love to receive something that fleshes Annie out and gives her layers, that explores how trauma can impact someone, how she protects Finnick and how he protects her, and how she regains her agency that the Games stole from her. I think it means something that Annie was one of the few Victors who voted against sending the Capitol children into their own Games; she's angry and hurt and has lost so much, but she knows how to break the toxic cycle, and that's something I'd love to see explored for her character.

I love them as a pairing because they're unexpected. I'd like to think that Finnick was Annie's mentor and that he went to great lengths to ensure her safety. I'd also like to think that Annie might have gone to great lengths to protect Finnick (and Mags) during the Quarter Quell.

I'm happy to receive something that's pre-canon, during Annie's Games, post-Annie's Games in the Victor's Village, during the Quarter Quell, an au on the rebellion and post-canon.

I do love the idea of Annie being a WOC.

PROMPTS:

I've listed my prompts in a way I hope will inspire writers and artists. Please take whatever you want from the prompt that's inspired you. These are just meant to be thought starters and no way prescribe the exact thing I want.

What were Annie's Games like? How did she prepare? How did Finnick try and keep her alive? How did Annie perform in the Arena before the flood?

How did Finnick and Annie fall in love? When did he realise she crept up on him? Who fell first?

The aftermath of Annie's Games. What's life like in the Victor's Village?

Did Snow threaten to send Annie into prostitution so Finnick took on her clients?

How do they react to the clear act of rebellion during the 74th Hunger Games?

What happens after the Quarter Quell? What if Annie and Finnick were reunited earlier?

What if Finnick survived? How do they pick up the pieces in a world where they no longer have to fight?

Finnick teaching Annie to braid. Or Annie teaching Finnick to braid.

A memorial for Mags.

The two of them at the beach.

Is Annie the stronger swimmer?

LITTLE WOMEN (MOVIES)

REQUESTS: Laurie/Amy.

DNWs: Laurie/Jo. I'm happy for it to cause a roadblock for Amy wherein she doesn't want to believe Laurie actually loves her. I'd like to opt out of Laurie/Jo as an established relationship.

LAURIE/AMY

TL;DR

I fell head first for these two when Amy read Laurie's ass for filth in Europe. I really love how their relationship feels mature—Amy seems to ground Laurie in a way that brings him comfort and Laurie sees Amy for the woman she is and nothing less. I really enjoyed their chemistry in the movie—I liked how he looked at her, I loved their banter, and I enjoyed how Amy, despite her feelings, isn't gentle with Laurie. She tells it like it is, even if it's the truth that will hurt him. They capture one of my favourite dynamics—the boy who trips over himself and the woman who trips him.

I particularly really loved Amy. I loved how she was unapologetically herself, even if that meant that she seemed like a brat. I love that she grew up into a woman who understood her place in society and who craved more but allowed herself to want something that her family never let themselves have. I like that she understood Aunt March's perspective and adopted it as her own, and how she wanted more in life but was willing to try and get it in an acceptable roundabout way.

I personally feel like Laurie would allow her to have what she wants because he's had so much taken from him, too. He wouldn't stifle Amy's independence or be intimidated by it but would nurture it.

The one thing I wish we got was MORE! I wanted more of them! I wanted to see them together in Europe, with Laurie being jealous and Amy being exasperated. I wanted to see him court her and Amy actually let herself be courted. I wish we got to see more fallout from Amy saying she wouldn't play second to Jo. (I felt that was a loose end.)

PROMPTS:

I've listed my prompts in a way I hope will inspire writers and artists. Please take whatever you want from the prompt that's inspired you. These are just meant to be thought starters and no way prescribe the exact thing I want.

Laurie's jealous of Fred. (Look, I deserved more of this.) I loved the way he would say his name and Amy would clock it.

Isn't Fred one of Laurie's good friends? What happens when, in Europe, Fred reconnects with Laurie and that makes things more difficult because of Laurie's changing relationship with Amy?

What happens when Laurie's always outside, waiting for Amy to come out of her art classes?

What if instead of getting married so quickly, Laurie courts Amy?

What if Amy was allowed to feel angry that she wasn't able to come and say goodbye to Beth? How does she lean on Laurie in her grief?

Five times Laurie was in love with Amy and the one time he acted on it.

Did Laurie write to Amy before he wound up in England?

WHAT HAPPENED IN EUROPE? I'm STARVED for content!

What's marriage like for them? Is Amy still uneasy about Jo and Laurie? How does Laurie try and settle her insecure feelings?

What if Amy went ahead and got engaged to Fred despite Laurie's declaration?

Amy draws Laurie throughout their stay in Europe.

Amy draws her family.

What if Laurie encourages Amy to work through her grief using her art?

What's Amy's relationships like with her sisters? Who is she closest to? Who sees her for who she is rather than what they need her to be? How do she and Jo get along? (One thing I'd love to see explored is why Amy felt the need to apologise to Jo when it was revealed Amy married Laurie. Does she still feel insecure? Does she feel like she took something from Jo? Is Laurie still considered "Jo's" in her mind? How does Laurie feel about all of this? I wish we got something a little more from Jo to ease Amy's insecurities.)

SHADOW AND BONE (TV)

REQUESTS: Kaz/Inej; Matthias/Nina; Nikolai/Zoya.

TL;DR:

I really enjoyed the Crows the most in the show. They have such a great bond and dynamic, and I really found all of their scenes compelling. I enjoyed the look of the world, the richness in the clothing, the way the Grisha moved their hands, and Kaz in his hats and Jesper with his goat. They were all perfectly cast and I really cannot wait for the next season.

• Please feel free to blend the show and the book together in whatever way works for you. I do find the books provide great background that the show is currently lacking. (I've read the Crows books and am reading Shadow and Bone. I'm okay with spoilers tbh.)

KAZ/INEJ

TL;DR:

These two have such great chemistry on screen. I love that you get a really good idea of Kaz's intense respect and admiration for Inej. I love how he's always looking at her like he wants to touch her; I love that he's always positioned near her. The fact that Kaz put the Crow Club on the line for Inej's freedom is PURE LOVE. PURE ROMANCE. I love that he doesn't communicate at all and that results in a lot of his own interpersonal problems. He's a great thinker, but he sucks socially and I love his ineptitude. Kaz's quietness says a lot about him as a character and I love that's where his power lies.

Inej. INEJ INEJ INEJ. I love that she is a WOC and I love that she has the most beautiful long hair. She's such a complex and interesting character, and I feel she goes toe to toe with Kaz quite easily despite him holding all of the cards. I love her background and her potential, and I really hope the show explores her history as being trafficked.

I really like how Inej calls Kaz out on his bullshit and how she sacrifices herself for him at times. I also like how she doesn't sacrifice herself for Kaz. She can't go back to Ketterdam. She can't go back and be a part of the Menagerie again, even if it means that she can't go back with Kaz. She's such an interesting woman and I love that she holds her own with her knives and is so self-sufficient.

PROMPTS:

I've listed my prompts in a way I hope will inspire writers and artists. Please take whatever you want from the prompt that's inspired you. These are just meant to be thought starters and no way prescribe the exact thing I want.

MATTHIAS/NINA

TL;DR:

Ugh. THESE TWO. They are so useless together! I love how they're an enemies to lovers trope. I love how Matthias has damned everything he knows to be with Nina and I love that Nina, who can absolutely kill this man, doesn't. I loved their scenes in the whale huts. I loved their angst. I love how Matthias is all grizzly on the outside but simps hard for Nina on the inside. They're absolutely perfect together and I love how complimentary they are despite being polar opposites.

I love that Nina talks and is vulgar and owns her confidence. She's sexually confident and shows it, and I love how she refuses to allow anyone to shame her for it. I love how she's sassy and I love how she always has something smart to say.

I really love their physicality as well. He's this big bulk of a man and she's a curvy woman who is barely comes up to his shoulder. HEIGHT DIFFERENCE, MAN.

PROMPTS:

I've listed my prompts in a way I hope will inspire writers and artists. Please take whatever you want from the prompt that's inspired you. These are just meant to be thought starters and no way prescribe the exact thing I want.

More whale hunting huts. Just give me more body heat.

First time having sex.

Nina sees Matthias in Hellgate or on his trip to Hellgate.

Nina tries to get Matthias out from his sentence. How does she do this? Does she Heartrender everyone to do her bidding? Does she manipulate? Can they be wed and his potential crime will be deemed null and void?

What if Nina ended up getting Matthias out of his prison transportation? What's their life like on the run?

They're somewhere that's populated by Fjerdans and Matthias does his best to protect Nina.

Nina's pregnant.

Height difference.

In the snow.

In front of a fire.

What if Hellgate allowed for conjugal visits?

What happens after everything? Do they travel to Fjerda? Does Matthias go with Nina to Rave? Do they return to Ketterdam?

[ Back to top ]

NIKOLAI/ZOYA

TL;DR:

I'm super excited and hopeful that we get to explore their book relationship in the show, even with the changes the show's made. Right now, they feel like such an epic blank slate, but there's so much potential between the King of Ravka and the Second Army's soldier. I love Nina's comment to Zoya outside of Sankta Neyar's home about how Zoya will one day find someone who will sweep her up and off her feet and she won't have a single clue of what to do with herself.

I love Zoya because she's so confident and hides behind that facade of arrogance. I love that she's career-driven, proud of her career, and someone who is so loyal to her country. I love that she's powerful and knows it, and that she doesn't let anyone stand in her way. But what I love most about her is how she's so guarded and emotionally constipated, and that she doesn't stray from what she can control. She can't allow herself to be vulnerable.

I enjoyed Nikolai in the series, especially with how he was having a lot of fun as Sturmhond. He's charming, charismatic, and a little arrogant, and he knows how to have fun. I love that he's the type of leader who will join in on the fight rather than sit in his ivory tower and watch from afar. He seems like the type of person who has a good heart and could be a good leader, and I like that he's willing to see Grisha as good people.

What I love about them together is their potential. Nikolai seems like the type to wear his heart on his sleeve while Zoya insists she has no sleeves. He seems like he can encourage her to let her hair down while she can encourage him to take himself more seriously and own his confidence rather than hide behind the Sturmhond figure. I think he can soften her while she can harden up his backbone.

PROMPTS:

I've listed my prompts in a way I hope will inspire writers and artists. Please take whatever you want from the prompt that's inspired you. These are just meant to be thought starters and no way prescribe the exact thing I want.

What if Zoya met Nikolai as Sturmhond? What if she joined Alina and Mal on their adventure to try and find the Sea Whip? What if she happened to save Sturmhond's ship and he took her aboard?

In the aftermath of the Darkling's death, what happens when Nikolai goes back to the Fold and waits with Zoya?

What happens after the incident with jurda parem? Does Zoya take control to try and hunt down how it got into the palace? Does Nikolai grow protective of the Grisha?

What happens when Nikolai invites the Grisha Triumvirate to the table?

What happens when neither of them can sleep and they start to meet up at night just to simply talk?

TITANS (TV)

REQUESTS: Dick/Koriand'r.

CANON NOTE: I'm cool if you want to incorporate comics into this!

I have read:
Robin: Year One
Batgirl: Year One
— For a more updated version of the comics I'm familiar with, you can check out this post.

DICK/KORY

TL;DR:

I'm forever bitter that they're not serving us Kory/Dick on a golden platter and am glad that they're finally serving it to us in the final season, especially with Dick having seen Mar'i (!!!!). They have such fantastic chemistry—they're the mom and dad of the group, two leaders, two people who are just so good and sacrifice so much… I really, really wished that the show picked them back up and developed them since the actors are great and the characters shine together. They both went on journeys of discovering who they are to themselves… and they look so damn fine standing next to one another!

Kory seems such at ease with Dick. I like how relaxed she is and how Dick never looks at her as anyone but Kory. She's not afraid to be herself, even if she doesn't quite know who that is, especially on Earth. I think he's one of the first people to treat her as a human, not as Tamarean royalty. I like that he's always so worried about Kory but also knows that she's able to handle herself because she's fucking Koriand'r.

Kory calls Dick out on his shit, which is something that a lot of characters do, but she seems to do so with the understanding of where his motivations come from. Kory lets him be a person, not Bruce's son or Batman's sidekick. She lets him exist with his trauma and baggage and accepts him for that. She's his biggest advocate, something I feel Dick hasn't ever had.

I'd love to see them call each other by their full names—Richard and Koriand'r.

I'm happy if you ignore the power retcon that they've done with Kory and Kom.

PROMPTS:

I've listed my prompts in a way I hope will inspire writers and artists. Please take whatever you want from the prompt that's inspired you. These are just meant to be thought starters and no way prescribe the exact thing I want.

Dick and Kory actually talk and support one another. What if Kory confided in Dick the fact she had to kill her friend Faddei because Komand'r had possessed him? What if Kory confided in Dick that Komand'r killed her parents? What if Dick confided in Koriand'r what happened with Jericho? That he went to prison because he's dumb? What if Koriand'r confided in Dick her identity issues? If Dick confided in Kory his issues? What if, when Dick got shot, Kory was actually there?

They try again.

Mar'i comes from the future to prevent something bad from happening. Dick and Kory, who may not be together, have to deal with the fact that they have a kid in the future.

What happens after Dick comes back from the Lazarus Pit? Does he tell Kory about his hallucination? Does he come back "right"?

What happens if Kory tells Dick about Komand'r and how her parents had treated her awfully? Does she feel guilty? How does she want to make it up to Komand'r?

What if Kory got to deal with her loving her powers while knowing Komand'r was crucified for not being able to produce her own fire?

Dick's reaction to Kory revealing she's royalty.

What if Kory was entertaining the idea of returning to Tamaran with Komand'r? How does Dick react?

What happens after the asylum? Are they shaken? Do they talk?

One of them is injured and the other takes care of them.

Kory admiring the Nightwing suit.
— I love this fucking suit.

Dick admiring Kory's Starfire suit.
— I mean, she's a babe.

Blues, purples and reds are a great colour palette for these two.

I love this look for Kory (although, I love her curly hair, too).

Dick and Kory growing throughout the years. Perhaps this includes Mar'i and we see her grow.

The developments of both their suits.
