withinadream

Thank you for writing/drawing for me! I've requested all trick/treat and art/fic combos for all fandoms, and I've tried to leave art-suitable prompts for all of them as well--but I'm not an artist, so feel free to leave an anon comment or contact me through the mods if you want more details.

I'm within_a_dream on AO3, and I have a tag of previous letters if you want to see what I've requested in past exchanges.

I love gen, f/f, m/m, het, and polyships, and feel free to include your favorite friendships and ships in your gift--I have very few NOTPs, and those that I do have are listed. I’ve put down a few favorite ships for each fandom, but please don’t hesitate to fill my prompts with gen fic/art if you would rather!If you write or draw smut, I will love literally any kink that's not in my DNW list! Also, I'm totally down for any trans headcanons you have being included in your gift.

I would love to receive poetry, interactive fiction, or other unusual formats. Any tense and POV is great!

DNWs:

Pregnancy/childbirth - canon pregnancies are fine to include, but I would prefer no pregnant characters in art and no fics that are focused on the experience of being pregnant (e.g. hurt/comfort around morning sickness, pregnancy complications, etc)

Oviposition

Stuffing kink

Fic Likes

Ghosts! Vanishing hitchhikers, staying overnight in a haunted house, and ghosts helping the characters solve their own murder are particular faves. I especially love skeptics being haunted.

Casefic

Hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort, and whump

Characters Coming Back Wrong (especially characters who died in canon)

Fantasy, horror, and Western AUs

Babysitting/accidental baby acquisition/characters spending time with canonical children

Art likes

Any art styles and media!

Characters in Halloween costumes (especially vaguely historically accurate costumes in my historical canons)

Blood, bruises, injuries

Genre-change AUs (especially historical AUs or moving already historical fandoms to other eras, Westerns, and fantasy

Formalwear/fancy clothes

Smut likes

Feel free to include your favorite kinks! If I haven’t DNWed it, I’ll enjoy it

Lingerie

Crossdressing, especially in historical fandoms

Roleplay (especially rape roleplay, but any scenario is great!)

Anything under the BDSM umbrella

Watersports, omorashi

Band Sinister - K. J. Charles

Characters:

Amanda Frisby

Guy Frisby

John Raven

Lord Corvin

Philip Rookwood

I love the canon ships as well as Guy/Philip/Corvin/John.

Prompts

Anything set post-canon! I would love to see scenes from either Guy/Philip or Amanda/David’s relationships after the events of the book, or Guy and Amanda enjoying their lives now that they can travel

I would also love something pre-canon, whether about Philip and Corvin and John, or Guy and Amanda

In the spirit of Halloween, a masquerade party (perhaps a masquerade orgy?)

I feel like any of these characters in a post-apocalyptic situation would be really fun (I’m especially fond of post-apocalyptic scenarios that keep the 19th century setting)

I have a long list of kinks for Philip/Guy, Philip/Guy/Corvin/John, and Philip/Corvin/John if you’re interested in writing or drawing smut, and although I don’t have past requests to link you to, I definitely wouldn’t say no to Amanda/David or some OCs thrown in the mix

Benjamin January Mysteries - Barbara Hambly

Characters:

Benjamin January

Chloe Viellard

Dominique Viellard

Hannibal Sefton

Olympe Corbier

Rose Vitrac January

My favorite ships include Ben/Rose, Shaw/Ben(/Rose), Hannibal/Ben(/Rose), Chloe/Minou.

Prompts

A case or a small scene from a case is always welcome!

I’d love to see any of my requested characters dealing with something supernatural (ghosts? A loup-garou? Weird bayou mermaid?)

I realize I have already written a bunch of words of post-apocalyptic Benjamin January fic, but I am always down for more post-apocalyptic fic/art for this series, using whatever sort of apocalypse you’d like (I’m especially fond of post-apocalyptic scenarios that keep the 19th century setting)

The series gives so many opportunities for whump and hurt/comfort, and I would love to see any of my requested characters get injured (and optionally, any other characters, requested or not, taking care of them and/or comforting them)

I have a long list of kinks for various Benjamin January series ships if you would like to write/draw smut!

Blake & Avery Series - M. J. Carter

Characters:

Helen Larkbridge

Jeremiah Blake

Matty Horner

William Avery

I ship Blake/Avery, and am also really into any Helen femslash (possibly with Matty?).

Prompts

Casefic and case-art! Don’t feel obligated to do a full case, I am also very much into smaller scenes of a bigger mystery. Matty or Helen solving mysteries on their own is also just as welcome as Blake and/or Avery crimesolving

I want to see what Matty does with her life post-canon! More scenes from her job at the restaurant, or maybe she ends up investigating crimes on her own

Helen seems to be having a pretty rough time in the later books, and I would love to see what she is up to stuck in the countryside while her husband is off solving mysteries in London (whether you go a fluffier or angstier route)

Blake and Avery running into something supernatural (possibly in India, if you know any Indian folklore that would be particularly fun!)

Sins of the Cities Series - K. J. Charles

Characters:

Clem Talleyfer

Justin Lazarus

Mark Braglewicz

Nathaniel Roy

Pen Starling

Rowley Green

I like all the canon ships in this fandom!

Prompts

I would really love to see the postcanon lives of any of the characters I’ve requested! I just love all of them so much and want to see what they get up to once the clusterfuck that befell them in canon has settled down

Mark and Justin solving cases! (Possibly with the help of other characters)

With all the fraudulent medium focus in canon, I would really love to see any of the characters come across a real ghost. This would be especially fun with Justin (and I would be into either Justin who’s always been able to see real ghosts and is still aggressively Not A Real Medium, or a Justin who is being haunted for the first time and keeps looking for and failing to find the trick). Or maybe Relatedly, I’d love to see any of the characters or couples in the "spending the night in a haunted house for money (or other reasons)" plot

I have a long list of kink requests for Nathaniel/Justin and Rowley/Clem if you want to write/draw smut! For Mark/Pen, anything goes, but I’m especially fond of seeing the variations in their sex life that Pen’s genderfluidity introduces

Green Men Series - K. J. Charles
Characters

Hugh "Barney" Barnaby

Max Isaacs

I ship Barney/Max, and am also totally down for gen about either or both of them!

Prompts

I have a long list of kinks in my latest Smut Swap letter if you would like to write/draw smut about these two!

I would love a work that focuses on their experiences during the war (and feel free to lean into the angst and/or body horror here)

Casefic/art about these two fighting monsters/supernatural creatures would be lovely!

Any and all hurt/comfort, especially about postwar trauma

Les Misérables - All Media Types

Characters:

Cosette Fauchelevent

Marius Pontmercy

Fandom-specific DNW: Modern AUs

Ships I like include Marius/Cosette, Cosette/Eponine, Marius/Literally Anyone and Marius/Cosette/Literally Anyone (seriously, Marius is my little black dress for this fandom and I also love pretty much any takes on poly Marius and Cosette)

Prompts

I’m very into works where Marius and/or Cosette can see ghosts, especially given the numerous dead people in both of their lives

I so want to see what happens with these two post-canon! Anything from fluffy domesticity to an angstier look at Marius’s postwar trauma and Cosette’s abusive childhood and isolated upbringing is great

If you’ve read my other prompts I may be beginning to sound like a broken record, but I would love a historical postapocalypse!

I have a long list of kinks for Marius/Cosette and several ships including one or both of them in my latest Smut Swap letter if you fancy writing or drawing smut

IT (Movies – Muschietti)

Characters:

Beverly Marsh

Bill Denbrough

Eddie Kaspbrak

Mike Hanlon

Fandom-specific DNW: No-Pennywise AUs

I ship literally any combination of the Losers’ Club, and am also very here for It/any character noncon. I am totally here for underage smut in fic, but would prefer that any smutty art has the characters as adults or older teens (think 16+).

For this fandom, I am also fine with disregarding my requested characters in favor of fic or art that focuses on outsider POVs on the events of the movie or the aftermath of the events on the town of Derry itself or the wider world (I have more specific prompts in my letter, but things like investigations into the missing children, fan reactions to things Bill lets slip about his childhood in interviews, true crime discussions of Derry's disappearances, etc).

Keeping canonical deaths is great, all-the-Losers-live AUs are also great!

Prompts

Anything post-canon! I would love to see where any of my requested characters go now that It is finally gone

A "holy shit we’re still alive" orgy after Chapter 2 (or really any poly Losers shipfic or art!)

I am so into outsider POV looks at the events of the movies. Mainstream news or true crime speculation on the disappearances and murders in Derry, the life of Derry law enforcement, any of the Losers falling under suspicion of causing some of the deaths in the movies, what the fuck the parents of that one kid think of Richie’s and Bill’s connections to him, what Eddie’s or Stan’s wives think of their husbands’ deaths and how (if at all) the surviving Losers explain them...

I would love to see any or all of the Losers in Halloween costumes (especially as kids!)

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

Characters:

Auggie Hilderbrandt

Chuck Steinberg

Ramón Morales

Ruth Steinberg

Sarah Bellows

Stella Nicholls

Fandom-specific DNWs: Modern AUs, AUs without the horror elements

Gen is great, and I also like Stella/Chuck/Auggie(/Ramón), Stella/Ramón, Stella/Ruth, and Stella/Ramón/Ruth. (Porn is totally welcome, but definitely not required!)

Prompts

I really want to see what Stella and Ruthie get up to post-canon (shippiness optional)

Anything about Ramón’s time in Vietnam (how does war compare to facing down monsters?) or his return home (I love stories about the aftermath of war/trauma). Something epistolary with Stella could also be fun

What happens to Auggie and Chuck after they get dragged off by Sarah’s monsters? I like to imagine that they are still out there trapped in some nightmare world, and I would love to see your take on that (and/or Stella and Ruth rescuing them)

I would love to more details on Sarah Bellows’ initial revenge on her family, or any of the stories she brings to life pre-movie. I would also love some pre-death angst or whump (or, if you are down for some horrible porn, incestuous noncon between her family and her is very welcome)

Think of England - K. J. Charles

Characters:

Archie Curtis

Daniel da Silva

Fenella Carruth

Patricia Merton

I love the canon ships, and I’m also totally down for Archie/OC or Daniel/OC in a honeypot or sex-in-the-line-of-duty setup, or in noncon

Prompts

Casefic/art! I would love to see any of the characters/couples solving more mysteries or spying

Yes I would also love some historical post-apocalypse here – maybe all hell breaks loose when any of them are at another house party?

A house party at a haunted house!

Any of the characters in Halloween costumes (bonus points for vaguely historically accurate costumes)

I have a long list of kinks for both Fen/Pat and Archie/Daniel if you would like to write or draw porn!

The Alienist (TV)

Characters:

Joseph

Laszlo Kreizler

Lucius Isaacson

Marcus Isaacson

Sara Howard

John Moore

Mary Palmer

Fandom-specific DNW: Laszlo/Mary or monogamous Sara/John (Sara/John as part of a larger polyship is fine!

Shipwise, I like Laszlo/John, Laszlo/John/Sarah, Sarah/Mary, Sarah/Original Female Character, either or both of the Isaacsons with Laszlo and/or John, and Lucius/Marcus

Prompts

Casefic/art! I would love to see any of them solving more murders (I am especially into Mary-lives AUs where Mary gets to join in on the detective work)

Post-canon fic or art with Joseph! I really want any of the adult characters adopting him especially

I would love to see something supernatural – maybe a future series of murders turns out to be perpetrated by a literal monster, or one of them finds themselves haunted by a murder victim (or by Mary?)
