320. DEAR FFFX CREATOR.

[peaked]

Letter Status: Completed as of 13-Aug AEST. ♥

*

Dear fffx 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 (although, the info in my sign-up is condensed because of character limits).

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.

• Monsters—werewolves are real; vampires are a thing, etc. that seem to happen on Hallow's Eve.

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.

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.

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.

THE HUNGER GAMES (BOOKS)

REQUESTED: Finnick Odair; Finnick/Annie; Finnick/Katniss.

OPTED INTO:

Fanart: 1x10 pg comic

Fanart: 1x10 pg or 2x5pg comic

Fanfic: 1x10k fic

Fanfic: 1x10k or 2x5k fic

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

CANON NOTES: I'm more than happy for you to lean into the dark, dubcon aspects of the canon, especially given Finnick's backstory post-his Games.

FINNICK

Finnick is one of my favourite characters. I love him for his charisma and how complex he is as a character. He uses his charm and good looks as a shield, and many people aren't bothered to look past that. I like how he can use that to his advantage and gather his secrets and a way to overpower someone like Snow, who underestimates someone who looks and acts like Finnick.

There are so many unknowns about Finnick, like what his family life was like, how he took to the Victor's Village, and how he coped in 4 after his win and when his public persona was starting to be formed. One thing I like is giving him a happy family, especially as I feel it contrasts a lot of other Victor's (especially Johanna, who I feel would be his best friend in the universe).

I feel like there's a lot to explore with him. What's Finnick's relationship with his body like? Who is the real Finnick Odair? Does Finnick hide who he is to protect himself or has he lost his sense of identity over the years? How did he view the Games before he was Reaped and won? Who was Mags to him in the beginning? How did he feel as a Mentor?

I do love Sam Claflin as Finnick, but am happy for other visual representations of him!

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 his Games like?

How did Finnick cope with being a mentor?

What was it like in the aftermath of his Games? How did he cope with being a victor?

How did he react to the news of the Quarter Quell?

What if Finnick didn't fall completely apart when the Rebellion started?

What is a happily ever after like for him?

Finnick with his trident.

Finnick and the water. What's his relationship with the ocean through the various stages of his life?

[ Back to top ]

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 small 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?

A memorial for Mags.

The two of them at the beach.

Is Annie the stronger swimmer?

FINNICK/KATNISS

What I love about Finnick and Katniss is their banter. I like how they have this great back and forth, this easy trust between them, and how they're vulnerable with one another. I feel as though they come from different parts of the world that they find great comfort in each other because they just get each other. Katniss sees Finnick for the man he is, not the peacock he presents. Finnick doesn't expect Katniss to be anyone but herself, and that woman she often is is flawed. Their friendship is amazing.

I feel like there's some great potential for them to develop a romance. They're prime friends-to-lovers imo! Finnick and Katniss are both protectors and I can see the two of them protecting each other and not quite knowing what to do about it. Finnick's the type to open Katniss' world up while Katniss would remind Finnick to live for himself. They're both caretakers and selfless people, but I feel like, together, they can encourage each other to be healthily selfish.

I'm more than happy for you to kill off Annie and Peeta to make this coupling work.

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 Quarter Quell goes differently. What if Katniss and Finnick get isolated from the other Victors? What if the Quarter Quell is prolonged?

What if the Rebellion isn't successful and they're thrown into the Games with each other again?

What if the Rebellion isn't successful and they have to Mentor the 76th Hunger Games?

What if the Rebellion went a little differently and Finnick didn't fall apart? What trouble could they get up to? What if they strategised and sussed out Coin sooner?

What if after the Quarter Quell, Finnick chose to take on Katniss' clients?

What happens in the aftermath of the Rebellion's success? Where do they go? Where do they live? Do they go and live peacefully in 12? 4? How do they repair their lives?

And they were roommates.

Sunrises and sunsets.

NIKOLAI/ZOYA

THESE TWO. I love that they are friends-to-lovers. I love that they are sunshine and dark grey clouds. I love that Nikolai is talkative and charming and Zoya is straight to the fact and ready to punch anyone who annoys her. I love that Zoya is so protective of Nikolai that she'll risk his ire and upset to protect him. I love that Nikolai understands Zoya doesn't need his protection but he'll still throw a fist into someone's jaw because he can.

I love their banter. I love how stupidly stubborn both of them are. I love how Nikolai's the one who's more emotionally open while Zoya hides her emotions because of childhood trauma. I love how they simply fit together, and how neither of them overshadows the other. And what I love most is how they believe in each other so wholeheartedly. Zoya sees Nikolai for who he is, and Nikolai sees Zoya for who she is. I just think they're lovely together, and they were my favourite part in the Nikolai series.

SANKT JURIS & ZOYA

I really enjoyed these two so much in King of Scars. I liked that Juris called Zoya out on her bullshit and encouraged her to be better. I like that he was never soft with her, and that he never babied her, either. He was the kind of mentor that she needed, and I love that he was someone she grew to respect and be vulnerable with.

I really wish we got to see more of Juris. He was such a great teacher, and I really liked what we got of his story. How does he deal with his dragon? Does he ever lose himself in the memories? Did he ever sense that Elizaveta was up to something malicious? Did he try and stop her, or had he given up?

I'm happy if you want to combine this with Nikolai/Zoya.

Fanart: 1x10 pg or 2x5pg comic

Fanfic: 1x10k fic

Fanfic: 1x10k or 2x5k fic

INEJ

I love all the Crows equally but Inej is my favourite. I love how she calls Kaz out. I love how she knows who she is and never lets anyone take her identity away from her even when it seems like they almost succeed in it. I love that Inej hated "The Wraith" as a name and took control of it and transformed it into something that she was proud of. She's a resilient person who I feel deserves all the accolades. She adapts and adapts well, and I love that while she's grown hard during her time in Ketterdam that she doesn't let it carve out the softer parts of who she is.

I also love that she refuses to allow other people to experience what she experienced as a child. She's such a good person and incredibly protective of those she cares about. And while I adore Kaz/Inej, I love, love, love that she chose herself and refused to settle for anything less from a boy who wants her but can't emotionally open himself up to her. Inej knows how she is and she sticks by it, and I love that most about her.

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!)

How does her reunion with her parents go?

What's it like on the True Sea as a pirate? What adventures does she get up to? How does she create her legend as The Wraith? Does she enjoy meeting other pirates? How does she fit into their culture?

Where is she 10 years from the end of Crooked Kingdom?

What was her time in the Menagerie like? Did she get along with the other girls?

What was it like during the early years of the Dregs? Who did Inej gravitate toward? How did she deal with Kaz? How did she reclaim her identity after the Menagerie?

[ Back to top ]

KAZ/INEJ

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!)

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?

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?

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

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.

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

First time having sex.

Nina encourages Matthias to be comfortable with what he likes in bed. Does she encourage him to express his kinks? Does she share her own?

Nina struggles with withdrawal from Juda Parem. Matthias does his best to try and help her.

Nina's in Matthias' furs to seduce him.

Nina seduces Matthias with a wooly knit.

How does Nina try and get the charges dropped against Matthias?

What happens when the Crows (or just Nina) are caught either in Hellgate or the Ice Court?

What if Nina brings Matthias back to life? What happens? (I've also read King of Scars and felt like that entire book was setting this up!)

Brum strongly encourages Matthias to have sex with Nina while on the ship.

What happens when Nina tries to bring Matthias back to life using her powers?

Nina in Matthias' furs.

Nina, Matthias and Trassel.

• In the snow.


• Cuddling him.


• Finding him again in Ferjda.


• Nina can sense the dead with her powers. What if she tried to help Matthias reunite with Trassel?

Fanfic: 1x10k fic

Fanfic: 1x10k or 2x5k fic

List of comics I've read.

BUCKY/NATASHA

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 that 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:

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.

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?
— Them sneaking 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?

What happens if more happened when Bucky shot Natasha? What if he followed her and took care of her? What if Natasha hunted him down?

Undercover as a married couple.

Natasha comes to Louisiana and joins Sam in his attempts to try and get Bucky on the dating scene. She's all gung-ho for it until she realises that she doesn't like the idea of him being romantically involved with anyone.

One of them is suffering from forced amnesia and forgets the other.

Natasha comes back from the dead.
— Bucky brings her back with the Soul Stone or one of the other stones—your pick.
— Natasha makes a deal with the Soul Stone and resurrects herself. At what cost?

Steve gives Bucky the Time Stone to go back in time and save Natasha.

What if Natasha got her hands on the Time Stone and tried to prevent Bucky from his devastating fate? (I'm happy for it to prevent nothing, but Bucky remembers her.)

They wake up in an alternate reality where they're married and Natasha's pregnant.

Bucky needs to go to Wakanda to get a check up on his arm. Natasha tags along. What happens?

What happens when the weekly big bad requires Bucky and Natasha to have sex to prove their cover story? You can make this as romantic or as dark as you want.

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.)

Natasha cuts Bucky's hair.

Natasha appreciates Bucky's metal arm.

Natasha wants to track down Yelena. Bucky helps her. Road trip!

Bucky braids her hair.

Visiting their tombstones.

Fanart: 1x10 pg or 2x5pg comic

Fanfic: 1x10k fic

Fanfic: 1x10k or 2x5k fic

NOTE ON DNWs: My DNW re: no deathfic doesn't apply here considering Daniel's dead. Go for it.

DANIEL/GRACE

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'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.

MISSING SCENES! I honestly thought there'd be more Daniel and Grace and am always severely disappointed on my rewatches that more scenes haven't magically appeared. Was Daniel playing drunk? How did he try and help her? Did Grace hide in the same room Daniel was in and he didn't alert his family?

What if that gunshot wound wasn't fatal?

What if Mr Le Bail traded one of the Le Domases souls for Daniels?

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?

Another time loop idea—what if Daniel's stuck in a time loop where he just dies over and over and over again? What if he's stuck in one where no matter what happens, Grace always dies?

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?

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?)

CANON NOTES: My DNW for death is only in regards to someone staying dead permanently by the end of the story.

SWEENEY/LAURA

I haven't read the book, but I recently watched the show and I really, really enjoyed the chemistry and dynamic between Sweeney and Laura. I really enjoyed how this small woman had such physical power over this giant man and how he also had this emotional maturity that she seemed to lack. Their whole promised Bonnie and Clyde dynamic was delicious, and they were my favourite part of the show.

I loved their banter, their chemistry, their inability to really understand how they felt about one another. I love how protective Sweeney is of Laura and how Laura's in denial about how she feels about Sweeney. I really like how Sweeney is the emotionally mature one of the two of them, and how Laura comes back to life with Sweeney, who doesn't ask her to be anyone but herself, even if that's unlikeable.

JESS/RORY

I have always loved Literati. I love their banter and their easy chemistry. Jess challenges Rory to step out of her comfort zone and consider being Rory for Rory, not the Rory Lorelai wants or the town expects. They compliment each other in so many ways. They can have dorky intelligent conversations, nerd out over books, have deep emotional conversations (which I wish we got more of throughout the season), and can relax around one another.

Jess was a good boyfriend to Rory, even though we never got to see it. We got told about it in dialogue, though! He saves up all his money to take her out. He always makes time for her even when he's run out of it. Jess' issue in season 3 was he wasn't emotionally ready to be in a relationship yet. Their timing was always off.

I love that Rory can let her hair down and be someone who isn't perfect. Jess encourages her to be a flawed person. He encourages her to take what she wants and to go for it, and he's the only person who seems to get Rory the most. Everyone treated Rory with kid gloves when she dropped out of Yale and spiralled, but Jess was the only one who called her out on her shit and asked her "Who are you?"

Rory does become someone who I feel is a caricature of herself. I loved that she was always so unapologetically nerdy and smart, and also very, very naive. I liked that she was learning who she was, what that means to her, and how she was trying to find out who she was outside of Lorelai's shadow. I actually did like Mitchum Huntzberger criticising Rory in the later seasons and saying she didn't have what it took to be a journalist because it really showed that Rory had been wrapped in a safe bubble for her entire life. She still hadn't learned how to take criticism and either take it on board and grow or shrug it off. Jess is so the opposite of that—and I feel like it was a missed opportunity that Rory never leaned on him for support on how to grow thicker skin.

At the end, Jess did kind of deserve better than how Rory treated him. But I think that they are perfect for one another. They always come back to each other. I think it's pretty poignant that they never slept together—they always had such an intimate relationship on so many other levels.

When Jess sets out to destroy the Gilmores’ competing snowmen, Rory sneaks out of the Independence Inn and helps him.

After Jess leaves Stars Hollow, they keep in touch via letters. Perhaps Jess starts it.

Years after Jess leaves, Rory decides that she's going to go on a little Pray, Love, Eat trip… in California. Not because that's where she knew Jess was last… just, you know… because.

There's another basket auction. This time, the women get to bid on the baskets.

When Jess and Rory reconnect years later, Jess is in a relationship with someone else. Give me jealousy!!!!

Rory rejects Logan's proposal because she wants to find herself. What if finding herself leads her straight back to Jess?

Jess tries to propose to Rory, but it keeps going absolutely wrong. Bonus points if the people of Stars Hollow keep trying to help him finally put a ring on it.

And they were roommates.

What if when Mitchum Huntzberger criticises Rory, she…
— doesn't go and steal a boat, but impulsively leaves Connecticut and finds herself at Jess' door?

Unexpected pregnancy (not Revival style).

Peak Jess hair.

LOGAN/RORY

I really liked Logan and Rory together, especially because he didn't really take any shit from her and encouraged her to be a little more independent and own her bullshit. Logan didn't coddle Rory like Stars Hollow did, and I really like how she was forced to realise that not everything always went her way.

What I really like about them is how Logan matured into someone who felt confident in himself and being good enough to be in a relationship with someone. I did like the potential of Rory's character (I'm admittedly not her biggest fan in the later seasons) and how she grew to become slightly more independent and someone who started to make decisions for herself and live the life she wanted. I really liked that Rory didn't accept Logan's proposal at the end of the show; I felt that it was a good choice for her character as it allowed Rory to go find who she was without being tied to a love interest, and it gave her a lot of autonomy that I felt she lacked in the show when paired off all the time.

Their banter is so great. I feel like Logan keeps up with Rory and Lorelai pretty well, and I like that Logan challenges Rory to step outside of her comfort zone. The one thing I love most about Logan is how he'll go against his family and stand up for Rory. He's so fearless and such a good dude how doesn't get enough credit sometimes.

KOL/DAVINA

I love Kol and Davina as they really do suit each other quite well. She calms him and gives him stability and love, something I don't think Kol has experienced in a long, long time. She accepts him when he's so used to being rejected. And Kol accepts Davina for who she is and sees her as a woman and not a witchy tool he can use for his own benefit.

I love that they stand up for each other, that they're so passionate, and that they calm each other, too. My favourite storyline was Davina resurrecting Kol and refusing to give up on him. She loves him with her whole being and Kol understands that—and is shaken by it, too.

I love the dynamic of this powerful immortal being in love with a powerful mortal. I love that Kol is this unpredictable and dangerous Original Vampire who is tamed beneath the hand of Davina. I love that he taught her how to love magic and she taught him how to love himself.

I do have a preference for Nate's Kol physically.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES (TV)

DNWS:

Bashing Katherine Pierce. Katherine is my favourite character and canon already takes many potshots at her. I'm open to character studies digging deep into her character motivations and characters being distrusting of her due to her previous actions, but I'd prefer to steer clear of misogynistic language and degrading her as a person. (Again... canon already does that.)

Katherine and Elena share the same body. I'd like to ignore season 5's plot line.

KLAUS/ELENA

I know this relationship is all kinds of fucked up, which is why I like it a lot. Klaus is definitely the big powerhouse physically between them, but I think that Elena gives as good as she gets and can emotionally manipulate Klaus as she is quite compassionate (in the early seasons, at least).

What I love about them is how fucked up it is. He tried to kill her—and successfully did so—and took her family away from her by murdering Jenna. He wanted to kill her best friend, uproot her entire life in Mystic Falls, and use her as a blood bag. How I read Elena's character at times is that she is a martyr, as established in the show, but she's also someone who has suicidal tendencies. Why else would she try and go toe to toe with powerful vampires when she's a human who could be snapped in half like a twig in just a few seconds? Elena likes the rush, the adrenaline, the danger.

What I'd love to see if them having to work together, even growing dangerously codependent on each other. He needs her to create hybrids and Elena needs him to punish herself for surviving her parents' fatal car crash.

I'm mostly attracted to them being a fucked up and toxic pairing with a few similarities shared between them. I'd love to see elements of Stockholm Syndrome in this.

I do have a preference for Elena being human and their dynamic in seasons 1-3, but if you want to write her as a vampire, go for it!

PROMPTS:

I have listed an assortment of prompts for both fic and art. If you're an artist who's inspired by a fic prompt, please feel free to create it! If you're a fic writer inspired by an art prompt, please feel free to create it!

Klaus kidnaps Elena. This can be set in early season 1, early season 2, or after he kills her. What if…
— Does he "kidnap" her by one day asking if she'd ever leave Mystic Falls, and then taking that upon himself as her consent for him to 'nap her a few weeks later?
— Does he kidnap her so that he can use her blood to create hybrids?
— Does he kidnap her because he wants to bury her in the Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans to ensure no vampire can dig her up?
— Does he kidnap her just because he's a dick?

Elena's thrown back in time and meets a younger Niklaus. This can be in the Viking era or the 1400s. (This can have some genuine romantic feelings, although I would like Elena to remember who he is and to be apprehensive about reciprocating.)

Ritual sex to create hybrids.

Little Red Riding Hood retelling based in canon.
— Elena goes into the woods to write in her diary (because why not?) and Klaus comes to her as a wolf. She slowly begins to realise this protector of hers is the very man who was set on destroying her.

Sex pollen.

Klaus compels Elena into believing he's someone else.

They run into one another 100-200 years later. What happens?

Klaus is cursed to want the one person who would deny him.

What happens when they're soulbonded?

Pregnancy sex. Does Klaus want to impregnate the doppelgänger because he's Klaus?

I'm all good with Wolf!Klaus and Elena—smut, no smut, I don't care. (I'm just not interested in the A/B/O worldbuilding.)

A wolf stalks Elena.

Dancing.

Klaus manipulates Elena into forgetting him. This is a cycle that they go through.

Diaries.

KATHERINE/ELENA

What I love about the doppelgängers is the potential they had in season 2. Elena finally gets to learn about where she comes from! Katherine gets to see that her daughter got to live a life and continue on her family line. There's so much history and family between them that we never get to see the complexities of their relationship.

I really like Katherine's power over Elena and the fact that she holds all the cards, but I also appreciate that Elena is capable of being compassionate towards Katherine and her life despite what Katherine's intentions are towards her. Elena's able to disarm Katherine in a way that the Salvatores can't—in season 2, she's a particularly compassionate person who sees people for who they are rather than the caricatures that they try to appear as.

I would prefer not to see anything about Katherine wanting to be Elena. Her speech in the season 4 finale felt so OOC to me. She doesn't want to be Elena, she wants to be herself—and that's who she has always been fighting for since she was 17 years old.

I do prefer human Elena and her season 2 counterpart the most as I found that she was someone who was both compassionate and selfish, and she had a tenacity for survival that was a softer version of Katherine's. I'd prefer her to stay human unless her vampire self is requested.

PROMPTS:

Elena doesn't leave Katherine to rot alone in the tomb. She visits her. What if…
— Elena lets her feed off of her?
— Katherine manipulates Elena's soft heart by telling her the truth of her life?

Elena helps Katherine track down her lineage—specifically Nadia.

When Elena turns into a vampire, it's with Katherine's blood. She's sired to her.
— Does Katherine teach her the ropes? Does she begrudgingly take her under her wing?
— Does Elena track Katherine down and beg her to teach her how to be a vampire?
— Does Katherine tell a sired Elena to go away, which Elena does... to only come back of her own free will?

When Klaus has Katherine locked in Alaric's apartment, Elena comes to rescue her and get her out.

Doppelgänger sex curse.

Katherine seduces Elena.

Katherine dream manipulates Elena.

Elena can't stop having sex dreams about Katherine. What if Katherine knows this and dream manipulates her?

A human Elena talks to a vampire Katherine about immortality.

What happens when doppelgängers are destined to be soulmates?

Katherine visits Elena on her deathbed.

I love Elena's straight hair in comparison to Katherine's wild and thick curls. Elena in her Converse shoes, one-colour shirts, and straight hair is always such a nice contrast against Katherine's chic attire and heels.

The progression of holding hands.

Elena ages; Katherine doesn't.

Katherine shows Elena the world.

GERALT/YENNEFER

Hm.

I love the physical chemistry between Geralt and Yennefer and how they soften one another. I love how in tune they are to one another, how they compliment one another, and how Geralt understands Yennefer saying she fantasises about him being beheaded is her way of saying she loves him.

He gets her in a way that not many people do. I think Geralt sees the survivor in Yennefer that many ignore. Yennefer inspires Geralt to be vulnerable, to want something and someone for himself, and see himself as someone who can be desired and have desires. I just wish these two idiots would get their shit together!

I really liked them in season 3 part 1, especially 3x05. Their banter, chemistry, the bickering, and how Geralt did as Yennefer asked and Yennefer was exasperated by him was so perfect. I love seeing them work together as detective partners, and I love seeing them as coparents of Ciri.

I'm familiar with some of the books. I'm not familiar with the video games.
