[sticky entry] Sticky: Master Exchange Letter

Jul. 4th, 2024 02:43 pm

Hello! I’m honored that you’re considering writing fic/creating art for me. I always appreciate treats in any and all forms.

Feel free to read as much or as little as you like.

Art Likes

I love fanart in all its many forms so I don’t have much to note when it comes to art styles. As long as it isn’t depicting my DNWs, I’m going to love it. I’m open to both explicit and fluffy art.

On a Critical Role specific note, I prefer the basis to be the official art or typical fandom interpretations rather than the appearances of the actors (i.e. I want Vax’ildan to look like Vax and not Liam).


Notes on Other Mediums

 
This is largely for Fic in a Box, but could apply to other exchanges with additional mediums beyond fic and art. As of 2024, I'm opening myself up to all mediums in the tagset for FIAB and I really do mean that. Knitting and crochet patterns are particularly encouraged. I have far too much yarn and I'd love to use up some of it creating something inspired by one of my fandoms.


General DNW

Unrequested non-con (CNC and dubious consent, as stated in likes, are always fine)
Permanent major character death, especially within the requested pairing
Terminal illness or cognitive degradation
Abortion or on-page childbirth
Hopeless/unhappy endings
Cisgender-swapping (trans and nonbinary headcanons are okay, as well as the genderfluidity of shape-shifters)
Harm of animals or children
First person narrative (unless used for epistolary format) 
Second person narrative addressing the reader (addressing another character is fine, especially if done in the source material, i.e. The Locked Tomb)
Self-harm or eating disorders
Bestiality and/or sex with shifter characters while fully shifted into animal form (partial shifts and animal characteristics such as ears or tail are fine) 
No tongue, eye, or teeth mutilation
Use of AI generation of any kind


Smut DNW

No watersports, scat, or emetophilia
Ball gags or gimp masks (improvised gags like a tie pushed into someone's mouth are okay)
Anal sex without prep and lube
Unrequested explicit sexual content with characters under 16 (aging them up is fine)

Grace Le Domas/Original Female Character

I'm obsessed with the idea of a post-canon Grace. In the wake of everything that happened, what does she do with her life? What kind of person would she have to find in order to trust falling in love again? Are there any distant relatives out there who shared the truth with someone who could help support her? What about other families that made the same or similar deals? 
 
Thomas Barrow/Guy Dexter

I have a complicated relationship with Downton Abbey in that I made it exactly one episode past Matthew's death, cried through most of it, and decided to take a break for a while. Then I found out what happens with Anna, and what happens with Thomas, and I refused to come back. However, that didn't stop me from reading the summary of the series finale and also the first movie. I was working on a Thomas/OMC letter that boiled down to "I just want Thomas to be happy for fuck's sake" so imagine my surprise when I looked up his wiki page to remind myself of some old details and discovered that, as of the second movie, he is.

I've watched the scenes of Thomas and Guy in the movie and it isn't enough. I want to see how their relationship develops in America, away from the prying eyes of a full household. I want to see Thomas finally get to be happy and in love with someone who can actually love him back. 


Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani/Nicky | Nicolò di Genova

Two people who can't die on opposite sides of a war who slowly fall in love and spend near to eternity together, I can't not love it. They've seen each other die thousands of times, but Joe is still terrified when Nicky's knocked out and not waking up. I'm open to anything, including historical settings and post-canon.

Also, this: 





Please feel free to incorporate details from Mike Flanagan's Tumblr post about what would have been if the show had been renewed for a season two.

Mark/Spencer

I have to. I'm entirely weak to the fact that Mark is the one who helped Spencer by bringing him to this place, and also Mark taking Spencer to meet his friends. Mark doesn't just give Spencer treatment; he gives him acceptance. I'd love to see a post-canon look of the two of them staying in touch, running in the same circles, and falling in love slowly.

Spencer/Original Male Character

I just want to see Spencer happy and getting to fall in love again, with someone who really cares about him and isn't driven away by the fact that he has AIDS.

Bill/Frank

Their episode of the show is a masterpiece of television. I love that they went in a different direction from the game and I've watched it multiple times. I love every single one of the snippets of their life together and I love the way Frank breaks down Bill's walls. Missing scenes and AUs will be embraced with equal joy.

Ellie/Riley


We only had Riley for a short while, but these two break my heart. I would love fix-its, canon divergence, and AUs. There's something poetically tragic about their decision to turn together, only for Ellie to learn that she can't turn. I want them to have the life that these two baby queer girls deserve.

Ellie & Joel

I love them so very deeply. The animosity between them when they're first shoved into traveling together turning into a father-daughter relationship that Joel thought he'd never have again when he lost Sarah. I'd love to see a post-S1 look at the two of them settling down together, trying to learn how to function when they're staying in one place and not traveling to a set destination.

Madeline Usher/Verna

Fun fact about this show, my wife's watched it multiple times all the way through. While I'm fairly certain I've seen the whole thing by this point, I've never watched it in sequence. It's always been bits and pieces here and there. Watching rich people cause their own demise isn't really my thing, but it's a great show and I'm in love with Verna.

I also keep poking at Madeline/Verna. It's the fucking kiss and the way Verna loves to call her "my Cleopatra." My brain just wants to pick that up and run away with it. I'm open to basically anything, including ritual sex interpretations, Madeline trying an unorthodox method to convince Verna not to collect, Madeline in an afterlife, or even Madeline succeeding at creating her own AI and Verna carrying it around with her.

This fandom is an exception to my "no permanent MCD" as well. Go ahead and kill Madeline as temporarily or permanently as you like. A deal is a deal, after all.


Jinshi/Maomao

They're in love, your honor. I'm in so fucking deep for these two that it's a problem. I'm living for the day Maomao finds out he isn't really a eunuch. They're just so incredibly good together, especially in the ways that their intelligence complements each others' and in the way that Jinshi knows just how much smarter Maomao is than him and he supports her. Whatever she needs. Dyeing the roses was fucking incredible. Figuring out that someone was trying to kill Jinshi and saving his life, even though she didn't know it was him. Him carrying her bleeding through the city, not a single care for who might see. Jinshi knowing exactly what to get her as a present. Maomao's obsession with poisons and the way she's repelled by Jinshi's usual charms. Maomao dancing on the wall and Jinshi catching her from falling. 

Ugh I love them so much. I'm also obsessed with the fact that Maomao grew up in a brothel so she knows how to fuck even though she's probably never done it herself. I'd love to see Jinshi being all sweet and gentle trying to take her virginity and she just pulls out every trick she knows and takes him apart.


Sam/Sebastian

It's the friends to lovers potential here for me. With their home lives (Sam's father with PTSD, Sebastian with an absent father and a stepfather who clearly doesn't care about him), I could easily see them retreating to each others' homes when it gets to be too much, or even just wandering around the valley so neither of them has to go home. Also: shotgunning.


Elliot/Willy

I've just been turning this over in my head ever since I saw it in noms somewhere. With them both living along the beach, there's so much potential for awkward situations or not realizing they're falling in love until it's too late.


Leah/Penny

I just think they'd be cute together. They're both relative loners, Penny with her books and Leah with her art. Maybe they run into each other at the library if Leah goes looking for art-related books. Maybe Penny asks if Leah is willing to help her with an art lesson for the kids.


Marlon/Willy


I'm not really sure how their paths would intersect, given Marlon's commitment to the Guild and Willy's to his shop and fishing, but they've both been in the valley for a long time. Maybe there's history there from their younger days. I feel like if they did run into each other and take a chance, though, they'd find they have a lot in common. They're both isolated people by necessity for their work and both wholly dedicated to their professions. Maybe Willy takes Marlon to Ginger Island so he can explore the volcano and a storm comes in, stranding them there for the night.
Nanjo Kojiro | Joe/Sakurayashiki Kaoru | Cherry Blossom

These two are married and I will not hear otherwise. They bicker and fight but they grew up together and they support each other and they're basically raising three kids together. The scene in the restaurant, after Kaoru is released from the hospital, destroyed me. It's just the way Kojiro looks at him while he's asleep. It's no secret that Kojiro finds Kaoru attractive, it's literally canon that he was attracted to him at the beach until he realized who he was looking at. I love them so much.

Fandom DNW: Divorce. Anything after Scream 4 (exception: Kirby Reed as an FBI agent)

Mark Kincaid/Sidney Prescott

All the missing scenes and relationship development. She marries and has kids with this man and we don't even know which of them made the first move. Mark is also the first love interest Sidney has who has a chance at truly understanding what she's been through. He's a homicide detective and he was there for a part of it.

Dewey Riley/Gale Weathers

My goddamn fucking OTP. I've walked into the room during my wife's rewatches just to see the proposal scene again. They're also the reason why I will barely acknowledge Scream 5's existence. I want to believe that, after everything, they really did find a way to make it work. Feel free to run with missing scenes set during canon, canon divergence, or post-Scream 4.

1: Kirby Reed

Kirby is my favorite part of Scream 4 and the only thing I will acknowledge from Scream 5. I just really love her and I really love that she takes her experiences and uses them as fuel to become an FBI agent. Feel free to write gen with just Kirby or to ship her with someone, including an original character.

Jedidiah/Octavius

The OTP. I love the rivals to lovers potential in their story, the "I ain't quitting you!" and them holding hands in the third movie. I'm open to just about any relationship stage for these: pre-relationship, getting together, established, married. I'd love to see their fruitless rivalry or other adventures in the museum at night.

Maybe Jed learns that he does like to be manhandled when it's Octavius. Maybe Octavius ends up back in the stocks but with a little more privacy. On a less smutty note, where would they go for dates? Do they keep trying to get alone time but the other denizens of the museum are constantly running into them? Do they end up so desperate that they ask Larry or Teddy for help? 


Feel free to include multiple of these relationships or even Mash in relationships with others. I'm obsessed with the idea of him unwittingly building a harem and having no idea what to do with it. Except perhaps to feed them all cream puffs.

Rayne Ames/Mash Burnedead


Rayne is a Divine Visionary who may not have trusted Mash at first, but cares about him enough now to fight to protect him. My favorite thing about this show is Mash's ability to just win people over, even people who have tried to destroy him.

Finn Ames/Mash Burnedead

Finn is a coward (affectionate) but that doesn't mean he would stand by and watch Mash be hurt. And they're roommates!

Mash Burnedead/Lance Crown

Listen, we all know Lance is a siscon but he still tries hard to watch out for Mash and I think he should be allowed to have a distraction.

Enjolras/Grantaire

I am but a simple reader. I went through a phase where I read I don't know how many hundreds of thousands of words for these two, but there can always be more cake. I am so weak to how clearly in love Grantaire is, whether Enjolras is able to return that affection or not. They die together, all right? I'm open to suggestions with these two. Pre-canon. During canon. Canon divergence. Alternate universes.

I find it hard to ask for fix-its because, if Enjolras did survive the death of the revolution, I'm not sure he'd ever forgive himself. He's a fight to the last man and it wouldn't be him anymore. It would be angsty as hell to lean into that, though. Maybe Enjolras gets knocked out rather than killed and Grantaire takes him away to recover. Enjolras would be so fucking mad and Grantaire would take it because better to be furious and alive than dead.


Fandom DNW: Manga spoilers. I am anime only and I intend to stay that way.

Sebastian Michaelis/Ciel Phantomhive


I am, in fact, very late to this fandom. I knew going in that Sebastian and Ciel are a popular ship, but I vastly underestimated how quickly I would also be shipping them. It's the inherent eroticism of a demon who obeys your every order while waiting to devour your soul. Also, even with canonically underage Ciel, there's something to the fact that, if there's anything he doesn't want Sebastian to do, all he has to do is order him to stop and Sebastian will stop. I can only imagine how heady that would be in the wake of all that trauma.

Prompts:
  • Public school arc! Sebastian in fucking glasses and robes. Robes that he can spontaneously hide Ciel underneath. Perhaps some roleplay? 
  • After Ciel's bargain with Undertaker, you know the one where he sends Sebastian outside and then ends up all sweaty and out of breath, Sebastian gets jealous and has to stake his claim.

Arthur Conan Doyle/Ciel Phantomhive/Sebastian Michaelis

I don't know what else I was supposed to be thinking about with Ciel and Arthur handcuffed together and Sebastian sneaking into their room at night. I really don't. Arthur clearly wants to fuck them both and he has NO IDEA what he'd be getting into if he did.


Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier

The first thing you have to understand is I shipped Eddie and Richie before Chapter 2 came out so the fact that Richie is canonically in love with Eddie is a constant source of feelings for me. Any and all fix-its are welcome, as are canon divergence, AUs, post-canon, and between Chapters 1 and 2 canon. I'm obsessed with Richie carving their initials into the Kissing Bridge and even more obsessed that he goes back to revisit it at the end of Chapter 2.

Fandom DNW: Anything to do with Season 4. Canon ended with the movie.

Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie/Original Female Character


Mac deserves better. I'd love to see her working at Mars Investigations with maybe some social justice hacking on the side. I headcanon her as a bisexual who kept her sexuality on the down-low for a while until she met the right girl. I'm thinking someone with a bit of her own reckless streak but who knows and respects how important the work is. Have fun with it.
Doug Eiffel/Hera

There's always been something in Doug and Hera's relationship that reads closer to me than her relationship with the other members of the crew. It's obvious that they care about each other and it's about more than a crew member and a ship.

1: Plant Monster

I love the plant monster. It just wants to live out its plant life in the vents. It's afraid of the dark and it's in space. I just want to hear about all the plant monster's little adventures as it builds its little nest.

Daniel Jacobi/Officer Klein

We know that Jacobi and Klein have history together, even though we'll never know what that history entailed.

Daniel Jacobi/Original Male Character

Honestly, I just want to ship Jacobi with someone and I want him to be happy. It could be at any point pre-canon or post-canon (it might be a bit difficult for during canon when they're in space and new characters are more difficult to simply show up).

I've watched the anime, but I'm still working my way through the manga. Please no spoilers past what the anime has covered. I'm obsessed with this show/manga. I love how wholesome a show about a gang can be and I swear to god it's gayer than some actual BL.

Sakura Haruka/Suou Hayato

I love Suou's instant adoption of Sakura without question, but what really gets me is how their fighting styles would mesh. Sakura fights on instinct and Suou is a very patient mish-mash of styles. Suou would take Sakura apart and I don't mean in a fight.

Togame Jo/Tomiyama Chouji

I'm obsessed with this one. I just really love the loyalty between these two, even when Choji didn't deserve it. Choji is Togame's sun.

Hiiragi Toma/Sako Kota

During their one-on-one fight, these two come with strong "Exes who had a bad break-up" vibe. I love their history and I want to see how their relationship will develop knowing that it was all a misunderstanding.

Sakura Haruka/Togame Jo

I can't get over the panel with Togame watching Sakura leave. The soft smile on Togame's face and not knowing at all what to do with it.  I love the way they both get through to each other in the fight and how Sakura reminds Togame how much fun fighting can be.

Sugishita Kyoutarou/Umemiya Hajime

I'm weak to how protective Sugishita is over Umemiya. The guy tries to throw a chair at Sakura because he said that he was going to beat Umemiya and take over as leader. But, violence aside, I'm pretty sure Sugishita is the only one we see helping Umemiya garden and you can't tell me he's doing that out of some kind of responsibility. He's doing it because it makes Umemiya happy and I won't hear otherwise.

Umemiya Hajime/Any Member(s) of Bofurin

If they didn't want me to imagine Umemiya fucking every single member of this gang, then they should stop referring to him as "the top." 

Any Members of Bofurin/Any Members of Shishitoren

When Shishitoren first shows up looking for a fight and they decide to do one-on-one fights to resolve it, there's so much dialogue that could also apply to an orgy. The whole concept of this is to lean into that.

Umemiya Hajime/Tomiyama Chouji

I feel like Umemiya would be a very calming influence on Chouji and also that Chouji would be fascinated with that garden and the damn tree that's right there on the roof of the school. Mostly, though, I ship this because Chouji freaking bit him.
Eli Cardale | Eli Ever/Victor Vale

I ship these two so hard that I literally forgot it isn't canon once. I mentioned them being together to my wife and she was like "...they aren't??" and I was like "Oh right that's headcanon." They'd just make such a good lovers to enemies trope. The tension of having to kill the man you love because he's gone rogue. I wish I could go into more detail but it's been a long time since I've read the series. I should reread at least the first one so I remember how exactly this happened.

Fandom DNW: On-page depiction of Rune's torture. References are fine, but I won't even read The Last Sun again.

Mayan Saint Joshua/Lord Tower | Anton Saint Joshua

I am so weak to powerful men being in love with their equally powerful right hand. Fix-its are encouraged because what the fuck what the actual fuck. I'd also love to see backstory of how their relationship developed or simple domestic moments between them.

Rune Saint John/Addam Saint Nicholas

As much as I love this series, I wish there was a little more emphasis on the relationships. I want to see Rune and Addam fall in love. All the missing scenes and relationship development and domesticity.

Quinn Saint Nicholas/Matthias "Max" Saint Valentine

I'm obsessed with these two outcasts who found each other and found connection. They're so precious and I just want to squish them together.
