Chocolate Box 2020

I am so sorry this took so long! If you started on a gift based on general likes, absolutely don’t feel obligated to rework it based on prompts I have here.

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’ve requested fic and art for all of my ships. I am within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! I have requested both fic and art for all fandoms.

This is a long letter, but don't take that to mean I'll only be happy with a long fic or intricate art! I'm just very wordy when it comes to my fandoms. Prompts have been Frankensteined together from years of letters, so the length of prompt means nothing except that I've been requesting that ship for longer! And feel free to grab prompts from previous letters if you want – my DNWs have changed over the years, but my general likes and fandom prompts pretty much haven’t.

If I don’t DNW a ship, feel free to include it in the background of a gift, I have very few NoTPs. Also feel free to include multiple requested ships in a gift or make any relationships poly. I’m also down for any amount of character death, graphic violence, and/or noncon.

Don’t feel bound to my prompts if none of them catch your interest – I’ll be happy with anything about my ships that doesn’t contain my DNWs!

DNWs

• Pregnancy, childbirth - mentions of canonical pregnancy are fine, but I don’t want art showing visibly pregnant characters or fics going into detail about pregnancy, related medical concerns, h/c related to pregnancy, etc


• Trans characters having PIV sex - other types of vaginal penetration or uses of dicks are fine!


• Unrequested infidelity - I don’t want explicit angsting about cheating on one’s spouse. For ships that break up a canon ship, I’m happy for you to retcon the canon ship/pretend it never happened, just not mention its existence in the fic/art, or make the canon ship an open relationship. For poly ships, I am very happy to read one or both members of a canon ship angsting about having feelings for someone else before the poly resolution, I just don’t want any actual infidelity happening


• Kinks I DNW - Oviposition, breeding kink, stuffing/feederism, visible stomach bulges (from cocks or toys or anything else)

General Likes

• I love all tenses and POVs!


• Fic about canonical children, Accidental Child Acquisition of OC children (especially for characters who are not at all parental and have no idea what to do with kids)


• Casefic, with a loose definition of "case" that encompasses mysteries for mystery fandoms, paranormal investigations for fantasy canons, espionage for spy canons, etc


• Ghost stories! Particular favorites include the "ghostly hitchhiker" urban legend and the setup where characters need to spend the night in a haunted house for Reasons


• Recovery or aftermath – of canonical traumatic events or noncanonical torture, rape, murder attempts, etc


• Whump, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort


• 5+1 fics


• Epistolary fic


• Trans headcanons/character-is-trans AUs


• Internal or external homophobia

Art Likes

• I love any art styles and media!


• Ships sharing each other’s clothes


• Disheveled characters (whether from fights or sex or anything else)


• Clothing/costume porn


• Clothed/unclothed, or discrepancies in level of dress, for shippy art


• Limited color palettes


• Blood, bruises, marks

Smut Likes

• Feel free to include any of your favorite kinks if you are writing or drawing me smut! My only squicks are in my DNWs – anything else goes.
  
• Any and all sex acts (vaginal, anal, oral, manual, frottage, intercrural, fisting, double penetration, sounding, etc) are great! I have no top/bottom or dom/sub preferences.


• My favorite words for genitals are cock and cunt, but I have no objections to whatever you’d like to use


• Pretty much anything under the BDSM umbrella. I am especially into unnegotiated or undernegotiated kink, and characters falling into kinky dynamics or things they enjoy (especially with the younger characters). I have no dom/sub preferences


• I would love noncon for any of my requested characters or fandoms – if you want to know more about what I like in dubcon or noncon I have a general list of kinks and tropes here in my Consent Issues letter. I generally prefer noncon with an OC or canonical antagonist as the rapist, and "fuck or die" setups between my requested characters are also great!


• Roleplay – I am into both serious roleplay and goofy scenarios that the characters can’t quite take seriously, and I am especially fond of rape roleplay/consensual non-consent


• Group sex, orgies, and gangbangs


• Gunplay, especially fucking someone with a gun


• Watersports – I am mostly into it for humiliation or marking aspects, and am neutral about drinking piss (and would prefer if any drinking happens it’s someone having their mouth pissed in directly rather than just drinking a glass of pee/etc)

Band Sinister – K. J. Charles

Ships

• Amanda Frisby & The Murder - The glimpses we got of Amanda’s interactions with everyone in the book were so much fun, and I want to see more of her interacting with anyone or everyone! John giving her art lessons, Corvin talking to her about her writing,
  


• Amanda Frisby/David Martelo - I want to see more of their married life! Amanda bouncing plot troubles off of David and borrowing him to work out if an action she wants to describe is physically plausible, David coming home from an exhausting day at work and Amanda comforting him, Amanda getting used to the freedom of being away from Yarlcote for the first time since her season. And I am very interested in Amanda’s conversion to Judaism, and would love to see more about that, or just about her and David celebrating holidays together or something similar.
  


• Guy Frisby/Philip Rookwood - I desperately want to see more of their relationship post-book. I’m especially into Philip introducing Guy to all sorts of exciting aspects of London society now that Guy isn’t trapped in Yarlcote. I would also love to see some Guy/Philip & Amanda interaction. Pornwise I would love to see more of Philip introducing Guy to exciting new sex acts/etc, or lending him erotic literature.
  


• Lord Corvin & Amanda Frisby - I just want to see these two interact more, they seem like they would get along like a house on fire and Corvin would be a valuable resource for Amanda’s writing (although I’m sure many of his stories would be far too scandalous to be written into her novels unedited)
  


• Lord Corvin/Amanda Frisby - I had never considered Corvin/Amanda until someone nommed it for this round, but oh my gosh what a fun ship! Maybe an AU where Corvin marries Amanda to save her reputation after her time at Rookwood Hall. I also had my attention grabbed by one of the OW ships, Crown Princess Who Was A Starving Writer In Her Former Life/Faraway King Who's A Fan Of Her Books, and listen, this would be a perfect Corvin/Amanda AU. I would also love smut with Amanda enthusiastically enlisting Corvin to explain to her and demonstrate all of these sex acts she’s heard vague whispers about
  


• Lord Corvin/Amanda Frisby/David Martelo - Feel free to take any of the Corvin/Amanda or David/Amanda prompts (and if you go for the royalty AU I proposed, David as an advisor to Corvin would be delightful). I just love combining ships into bigger polyships so I couldn’t not nom this. David being a little exasperated and a lot endeared by the antics Amanda and Corvin get up to is a great dynamic
  


• Lord Corvin/Guy Frisby/John Raven/Philip Rookwood - any of the Guy/Philip prompts still apply here. For this ship specifically, I would love to see their first few weeks/months/whatever post-book learning how they fit together. I’m totally down for fluff, but also for a bit of angst with Guy feeling insecure about his place in such a long-running relationship, Corvin and/or John feeling insecure about Philip being enthralled enough with his new beau that he leaves them behind, Philip worrying about balancing his relationships with the other three, etc. Porn-wise I would so love to see their first time having sex all together, especially if it’s Guy who initiates the foursome.
  


• Lord Corvin/John Raven/Philip Rookwood - I want to see all of the backstory/pre-canon details about their lives and relationship before the book! I would especially love a first-time fic, whether that’s their first time kissing or confessing their love or having sex or whatever you’d like. I’d also love to see something set when John leaves them to get married or when he returns to them. Anything about their childhoods/teenage years together would also be wonderful!
  


• Lord Corvin/Original Male Character - I want to see anything you want to show me about Corvin’s exploits and the men he seduces. (Also, I’m totally down for OCs of other genders or multiple OCs if you want.) I would especially love to see Corvin having fun and kinky sex with this OC, for whatever kinks you feel like writing or drawing (because I can see him being into pretty much anything). I would also love to see them going to the theater together!
  

Benjamin January mysteries – Barbara Hambly

• Abishag Shaw & Dominique Viellard - FMoC gave me a craving for Minou and Shaw ending up solving a mystery together. Maybe during one of the times when Ben is out of New Orleans, Shaw seeks help from another January sibling. They both have very different skill sets and different social circles they can traverse, but I see a lot of similarities in how they use social expectations to mask their intelligence, and I'm very intrigued by the idea of them becoming friends.
  


• Abishag Shaw & Olympe Corbier - I really love what we see of Olympe’s voodoo in the books, and I would love to see her come across information about a crime, or to have Shaw ask her to help him investigate. I also feel like Olympe would be very slow to trust Shaw, no matter what her brother says about him, and would love to see a moment where she begins to realize she can trust him
  


• Benjamin January/Abishag Shaw - This is an especially great relationship for hurt/comfort in my opinion—I'd love to see an injured Shaw forced to rest up and let Ben take care of him. I've also had Shirt on his Back on my mind for my own fic reasons, and I want to see more of the aftermath of Johnny's death and the events of the book on Shaw; him mourning with Ben would be wonderful. I also want to see Shaw open himself up to a relationship.
  


• Benjamin January/Hannibal Sefton - I will love any and all Ben/Hannibal shipfic or art, but I’m especially into an early-in-the-series dynamic where it starts as as a grief-and-loneliness-driven fling for Ben and grows into something more solid. I’m very into the musical aspects of the series, and I’d love to see fic or art of these two playing together. Also, Ben making Hannibal take care of himself (or vice versa)
  


• Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January - I love everything we see in canon about these two, and I always want more! I’d love to see them solving mysteries together, doing science together, or talking about literature together. Parenting fluff would be lovely, if kidfic is your thing! As a notoriously bad cook myself, I love the times it’s mentioned in the books that Rose is horrible at cooking, and I’d love to read a fic showing her and Ben’s misadventures in the kitchen. I’d also love to see crossdressing spinning off of one of the times Rose has disguised herself as a boy, if you’d like to do something pornier.
  


• Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January/Abishag Shaw - Shaw is so closed-off in canon, I really want to see him opening up and getting romantically involved with Ben and Rose. I'd love to see how they get together (do Rose and Ben set out to seduce Shaw? Does Shaw unexpectedly kiss Ben?), hurt/comfort with Shaw injured on the job and Ben and Rose insisting on him resting up, or Shaw interacting with the January kids.
  


• Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January/Hannibal Sefton - I love the friendship dynamic of these three in the books, and I’d love anything that expands that dynamic to a romantic relationship. I’d love to see how the three of them ended up as a triad, or any events of the books reexamined from a shippy perspective. I’d also love to see them doing science or making music or solving mysteries together, or hurt/comfort (either stemming from one of the times any of them is injured or traumatized in the books, or an original incident).
  


• Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January/Abishag Shaw/Hannibal Sefton – Feel free to steal any of the prompts for the smaller component ships. I would love to see an origin story of how these four ended up in a relationship, or just all four of them in bed together. I also received a fic recently that made me think about how Shaw is by far the least educated of the four, and would love to see something touching on how he might feel about that
  


• Chloë Viellard/Dominique Viellard - This is the Benjamin January femslash ship of my heart! I’d love a first time fic, showing how these two came to like each other or love each other (or their first kiss or first time having sex). I also headcanon Minou as very into ridiculous sexy roleplay, and I’d love to see her trying to talk Chloë into joining her in this. I’d also love to see the two of them interacting with Charmian.
  

Les Misérables – Victor Hugo

Fandom-specific DNW - Modern AUs

I’m also a fan of the musical, so feel free to mix canons if you wish (although I’m perfectly happy with pure book canon as well!)

For this fandom, I am totally here for infidelity, especially Marius or Cosette having a gay awakening and then a gay affair (plus or minus some wildly kinky sex with their lover that they would never dare ask their spouse for).

Canonical character deaths are totally fine to include (angsty shipfic/art where one part of the ship is dead are very welcome), as are everyone-lives or someone-lives AUs

• Cosette Fauchelevent & Jean Valjean - I love their relationship dearly and I want so many more father & daughter fanworks. Valjean raising Cosette, their time in the convent, post-barricades interactions, an AU where Marius is less of a dick and Valjean doesn't die when he does…it's all good! I would also love Valjean meeting anyone you choose to have Cosette dating
  


• Cosette Fauchelevent/Marius Pontmercy - I desperately want more post-canon fic for this ship. All of Marius’s friends are dead and he’s probably got some trauma from the barricades, the only family Cosette has ever known is also dead...I want to see where they go after the wedding. (Nb: feel free to do a fix-it where Valjean and/or any of Les Amis live! I would also love a less-sad post-canon work.) I’d also love to see them getting to know each other more, or maybe exploring sex together.
  


• Cosette Fauchelevent/Éponine Thénardier - These two have such a rich past together, and I’d love something with the two of them working through their childhoods post-canon. They have every reason to hate each other, and I want to see them work through that. If you're setting the fic canon-era, I would especially love Cosette meeting Éponine when she goes to deliver Marius's letter, and things following from there, or Valjean saving Éponine in addition to or instead of Marius.
  


• Cosette Fauchelevent/Marius Pontmercy/Éponine Thénardier - I like this ship as either very fluffy or very angsty. (Or both, if you want to combine them!) Fluff-wise, if you want to create an AU where Éponine survives the barricades, or do some domestic scenes with the three of them (and perhaps a kid or kids?), that would be lovely! Angst-wise, I’d really like to see an exploration of how they end up getting together and working through all of their baggage. Cosette and Éponine both have a lot of shit to work through from their childhoods, and Marius is not quite sure what’s going on and also feeling anxious about the relationship (because what doesn’t Marius feel anxious about?), and I’d love to see the three of them brought to an emotional resolution.
  


• Grantaire/Marius Pontmercy - The first live production of Les Mis I saw had Grantaire sit on Marius's lap and kiss him during Red and Black, and I've been in love ever since. I feel like Brick!canon Marius and Grantaire would also make a very interesting couple. I love the idea of Grantaire flustering, corrupting, and/or deflowering Marius, and Grantaire's snark and Marius's earnestness interacting. Grantaire and Marius getting drunk! Grantaire and Marius going to parties! Grantaire seducing Marius and being both dismayed and excited to find out he's a virgin!


• Cosette Fauchelevent/Grantaire/Marius Pontmercy - I may be sailing this ship all by myself. But hear me out—you have Cosette and Marius, surprisingly fluffy and innocent given their pasts, and then you throw in cynical, sarcastic Grantaire. I love the idea of Grantaire “corrupting” them both—either in a sexual sort of way, or just making them forget about propriety for a while. Picture the Pontmercys taking Grantaire to dinner with Gillenormand, and the absolute disaster that would result.
  
  Or picture Marius and/or Cosette at a meeting of Les Amis, and Grantaire finding ways to distract them that infuriate everyone. Imagine Grantaire goading Marius on some philosophical topic or other until finally Marius responds, and Grantaire is thrilled that Pontmercy has grown a spine. Or imagine Grantaire deciding to try out his oratory on Cosette, and finding that she’s a keen and well-read conversationalist.
  
  
  In addition to the prompts above, you could show me how they end up together, if any of them feels guilty about their relationship setup (and how they overcome said guilt), how Grantaire fits into the Pontmercys’ marriage, and/or Grantaire interacting with future Pontmercy children.
  


• Courfeyrac/Marius - All I want in life is Marius angsting over falling for Courfeyrac, only to find that Courfeyrac has fallen just as hard for him. I love Marius being socially awkward, and Courfeyrac introducing Marius to Parisian society or absinthe or the current fashions or anything else. And if you want to get sad, I am 100% down for Marius mourning Courfeyrac and/or ghost!Courfeyrac.
  


• Courfeyrac/Cosette Fauchelevent/Marius Pontmercy - All of the Courfeyrac/Marius stuff still goes. Maybe Cosette asks to meet some of Marius’s friends, and then she meets Courfeyrac and oh no, she’s falling hard….and she thinks Marius might have fallen hard too. Maybe everyone thinks Marius’s wife is cuckolding him with Courfeyrac, but really they’re all three sleeping together. Or maybe Courfeyrac finds out their sex life is kind of a trashfire and volunteers to fix it.
  


• Javert/Marius Pontmercy - My favorite reading of this ship is that Javert is a repressed dom and Marius is a repressed sub (although feel free to switch those roles if you want) and they have horribly unnegotiated kinky sex and Marius feels guilty for cheating on his partner all the while (or perhaps Javert is cheating too, if you’d like to hook him up with Valjean). Really, though, anything with grumpy Javert and awkward Marius would be lovely!
  


• Marius Pontmercy/Jean Valjean -
  This would be another good ship for angsty kink + infidelity, where they both fall into a sexual relationship and neither wants to end it despite how guilty they feel. Or maybe Marius decides to apologize for misjudging Valjean with sex and a relationship develops. (You are free to write/draw non-porn too, these are merely suggestions!)

Sins of the Cities series – K. J. Charles

• Justin Lazarus/Nathaniel Roy - The hatesex-to-actually-in-love trajectory in the book was so good for me, and I want to see anything and everything about their post-canon life. Justin using séance tricks on Nathaniel is so great, as is Justin playing at possession in bed. I am also enamored with the idea of them running into an actual ghost. And works featuring Sukey and Emma are also great!
  


• Mark Braglewicz/Pen Starling - They barely had any time together in canon that wasn’t wrapped up with inheritance and murder, so I would love to see what they look like when they’ve had time to settle into a normal relationship. Works with them visiting Greta and Tim (and eventually their kids) would be great. I would also love some smut with them, and I’m especially into seeing how Pen’s genderfluidity interacts with their sex life.
  


• Rowley Green/Clem Talleyfer - I love how utterly besotted these two are with each other, and their understanding of each other. I also love how easily Clem fell into teasing and edging Rowley in bed. With all that Clem talked about teasing Rowley and making him wait to come for hours, I would love to see that actually happening in a fanwork. And I want to see more Clem and Rowley collaborating on taxidermy!
  

Society of Gentlemen series – K. J. Charles

• David Cyprian & Silas Mason - I loved what we saw of their friendship in the series and I want so much more! Playing board games together and talking, Silas’s staunch convictions vs Cyprian’s careful apoliticalness. Perhaps one of them helping the other out of a sticky situation.
  


• David Cyprian/Richard Vane - First off, if you have read Gilded Cage, I am so here for fic/art about the character details revealed there. Otherwise I just want more Cyprian/Richard! Visiting the Continent together, growing old together, maybe Richard trying to give David gifts and David not feeling quite comfortable receiving the kinds of expensive gifts Richard can afford to give him
  


• David Cyprian/Will Quex/Jonathan Shakespeare - Ever since the books mentioned they’ve had the occasional threesome, I have wanted to see it in fanworks. I love their shared past and friendship, and would love fic/art set anywhere in the series’ timeline. I’m also really interested in seeing more of the lower class characters’ perspectives on canon. And I would love to see Quex and Shakespeare teasing Cyprian for how hung up he is on Richard.
  


• Dominic Frey/Silas Mason - I am always here for more smut about them. Would love to see them trying out new kinks together. I’m also very into political debate between them, or exchanging and discussing books
  


• Gabriel Ashleigh/Francis Webster - I love these two, and am very sad we only got a novella that was exclusively about them. I love Ash’s golden-retriever-like personality and how it interacts with Francis’s more reserved demeanor, and I want to see all the fanworks about them! I know it’s been done in a few fics already, but I would especially love to see their reaction to Maltravers getting his hands on Ash’s letters
  


• Julius Norreys/Harry Vane - Anything about them is lovely, really. I would love to see more about their trip to the Continent, or more struggles Harry might have reconciling his past with his current identity as nobility. I also read a great fic where they have a threesome and it left me wanting allllll the fanworks about them having threeways – with an OC or another character or whoever you’d like. Also, Harry committing Crimes Against Fashion and Julius’s subsequent exasperation.
  


• Will Quex/Jonathan Shakespeare - They are my absolute fave side characters and I want to know so much more about them! How did they meet? How did they start Quex’s? What’s their POVs on the events of the series? Porn is also great, especially threesome/moresome porn given we know they like to bring in thirds.
  

Think of England – K. J. Charles

• Archie Curtis/Daniel da Silva - I love everything about their dynamic in the book: their differing skillsets, Daniel’s experience/Archie’s inexperience with sex, and the potential for a future doing espionage together. I would love something set post-canon with them working together if you are inclined to write/draw some spying. I would also love a look into the quieter moments of their post-book life, maybe Archie reading Daniel’s poetry or Daniel introducing Archie to his friends/the queer scene. Also if you are down for porn, I know there are one or two takes on Archie’s first time bottoming out there but I always want more of that. And if you want to write some rape recovery, I have prompts in my Consent Issues letter!
  


• Fenella Carruth/Patricia Merton - I am very into the idea of Fen and Pat running a bit of an investigative agency, and would love to see some casefic/art to that effect. I also loved Pat teaching Fen to shoot and would love to see more of them shooting together, and/or some gunkink porn. And I would love to see their perspectives on the events of Think of England! Also, their relationship allows for so many lovely moments of quiet intimacy and I would love to see them dressing/undressing each other, doing each other’s hair, etc.
  

The Turner Series – Cat Sebastian

• Lady Montbray/Anne Sutherland - I want so much more about these two than we get to see in the books. I would especially love something about the aftermath of Lord Montbray’s death from either of their perspectives. I would also love them attending the theater together, or costume porn (with or without actual porn)
  


• Molly Wilkins/Alice Stapleton - I loved Molly’s daughter and would love to see more of Molly and Alice interacting with her. I also loved Alice coming into herself and letting herself be happy - more of that in fanworks please! I would also like an AU where instead of stealing from the man who wronged Alice they end up killing him, either something serious or something more farcical where they’re trying to hide the body. Also, post-canon stuff where they end up working with Jack’s agency to help other women like Molly helped Alice?
  


• Lawrence Browne/Georgie Turner - First off, I have been thirsting for a work where Penkellis is haunted. Lawrence is used to the ghost and very good at working around it, and Georgie is left sitting there like "what the fuck just threw that book at me, and why is there screaming in the hallways in the middle of the night?" For more canon-compliant works, I love the two of them parenting, and I would love to see more of Lawrence’s mental health issues
  


• Lord Courtenay/Julian Medlock - So there was a bonus story about these two negotiating a threesome, and I would love to actually see the threesome (or any threesome, no need for you to have actually read the bonus story). I would also love to see scenes from the gradual process of Julian loosening up and Courtenay tightening up. Also I would love to see the two of them spending time with Simon!
  


• Oliver Rivington/Jack Turner - I would really love to see more of Jack’s work. I also love Jack’s relationship with his siblings, and would love to see more of Oliver getting to know the other Turners. Also, more sex in Jack’s office please!
  

The Magnificent Seven (2016)

Canonical character deaths are totally fine to include (angsty shipfic/art where one part of the ship is dead are very welcome), as are everyone-lives or someone-lives AUs.

• Goodnight Robicheaux/Billy Rocks – These two are so married in canon, and I want to see all of the backstory. Show me the real story of how they met, or some of their life on the road together. Or hardcore break my heart with a work where one of them dies at Rose Creek but the other survives. Also, listen, it cracks me up that in canon Goody calls Billy "petite" when in reality they have like the exact same build and their actors are basically the same height, and I want a work where Goody is very insecure about his height
  


• Joshua Faraday/Vasquez - I loved the progression from rivalry and wariness to caring about each other that these two had in the movie, and I want all the fanworks for them, falling at any point along the development of their relationship. I've got a soft spot for fic/art showing the recovery process after an AU where Faraday survives the battle at Rose Creek, although I'd definitely be down for Vasquez mourning Faraday's death as well.
  


• Sam Chisolm & Red Harvest & Vasquez - I would love something post-canon showing where these three go next. Do they end up taking on more robber barons or bad men? How do they mourn the loss of the other four? I'd just love to see these three off on more adventures or taking solace in each other
  


• Sam Chisolm & Emma Cullen & Red Harvest & Vasquez - Everything above still goes, but I'm really into the idea of Emma joining the surviving members of the seven and seeking justice for more people. I loved her determination in the film, and more of that in fic would be wonderful.
  


• Red Harvest/Vasquez - This is another ship I’m mostly into post-canon. I don’t have any concrete prompts other than post-canon adventuring growing into love or a friends-with-benefits relationship, but these two are some of my favorite characters and I’d love to see them shipped together.
  


• Sam Chisolm/Goodnight Robicheaux - Sam and Goody's backstory fascinates me, and I'd love to see more of it. I'd love a first-time story showing how they ended up as lovers, or something showing how they parted ways.
  


• Sam Chisolm/Joshua Faraday/Red Harvest/Jack Horne/Goodnight/Billy/Vasquez, Sam Chisolm/Emma Cullen/Joshua/Red Harvest/Jack Horne/Teddy Q/Goodnight/Billy/Vasquez - I always and forever want ensemble casts to have orgies/end up in a giant poly relationship. Maybe there’s a "we might die tomorrow, might as well fuck" thing going on, or a "we all survived" thing if you do an everyone-lives AU. Or everyone taking down more bad guys while in many complicated and intertwined relationships (and maybe an outsider POV trying to figure out just what is going on with these guys romantically/sexually)
  

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)

Fandom-specific DNW - Modern AUs

Infidelity is fine for this fandom!

• Auggie Hilderbrandt/Chuck Steinberg - I would be especially into something set post-canon, with them trapped in some sort of nightmarescape trying to survive and find their way home, and also finding themselves falling for each other. I would also be very into pre-canon teen romance and/or first forays into sex. Or Chuck’s reaction to Auggie’s disappearance if you wanna get sad!
  


• Sarah Bellows & Stella Nicholls, Stella Nicholls/Sarah Bellows - I loved how sympathetic the main antagonist of the movie was, and I loved how much Stella could empathize with her. I would love an AU where Sarah’s ghost maybe hangs around for a bit after the movie’s events to help them figure out how to undo the disappearances, or something set during the movie exploring Sarah and Stella’s relationship. And listen, you can’t go wrong with ghost romance or ghost sex. Stella and Sarah kissing while Sarah’s trapped in Sarah’s bedroom could be fun!
  


• Ramón Morales & Stella Nicholls, Ramón Morales/Stella Nicholls - I would love to see the aftermath of Ramon’s time in Vietnam, and/or some of his and Stella’s letters. I would also love to see how the two of them get along as adults: Ramon will certainly have grown up a lot mentally when he comes home from the war, and I’m sure Stella will have changed a lot as well
  



• Stella Nicholls/Ruth Steinberg - I want to see more of their post-canon adventures! I also am big into teens/young adults having their lesbian/bi/etc awakenings, and would love to see that for one or both of them (I’m especially fond of Ruthie as a lesbian who is realizing that Tommy being a huge dick who later disappeared mysteriously isn’t the only reason their date didn’t work out). And if you keep Stella in a relationship with Ramon, I’m especially into her finding herself falling for Ruth and feeling horribly guilty about it (or maybe writing a lot about Ruth in her letters to Ramon, thinking it’s completely platonic, until Ramon calls her out on it in a letter back)
  


• Ramón Morales/Stella Nicholls/Ruth Steinberg - Feel free to take anything from the Stella/Ruth and Stella/Ramon prompts! I also am really into teens fumbling into messy poly relationships and figuring out how things are gonna work, especially in a historical setting like this where they probably don’t have any examples to look up to as like, functional poly triads. Also, post-war ghost/monster hunting!
  

Crossover Ships

I’ve split my crossovers into three groups – crossovers between different romance novels, crossovers involving characters from It (I’m most familiar with the movies, but where adaptation is unspecified you can choose whichever you’re most comfortable with), and crossovers involving Benjamin January.

You are welcome to keep things in their canon times or shift things around so the canons happen at the same time (I’m absolutely horrid at timelines, so I think most of these canons happen vaguely concurrently but who knows?)

Part I – Romance Novels

• Amanda Frisby (Band Sinister) & Theodore Swann (Wanted A Gentleman) - There was a passing line in Band Sinister about Corvin (I think) introducing Amanda to his friend Theodora Swan the novelist, and I so desperately want them meeting up and talking shop, commiserating over plot/work/character troubles, maybe cowriting something...
  


• Archie Curtis(Think of England)/Daniel da Silva (ToE) & Randolph Glyde(Green Men)/Saul Lazenby (GM) - I just want Archie and Daniel to find themselves in the middle of a supernatural situation. Especially if they’re sent to deal with something for work, and get in way over their heads. Or perhaps they meet first in a social situation, and then run into each other through one or both of the groups’ work? My first thought was setting this in the future for Archie and Daniel, especially because I’d love to see how WW1 treats them, but you don’t have to include that if you don’t want to!
  


• Cora Delacourt (Page & Sommers) & Patricia Merton (Think of England), Cora Delacourt (Page & Sommers)/Patricia Merton (Think of England) - I just want these two sharpshooters from spy novels to meet! Maybe Pat runs across another situation of espionage-in-progress, or maybe she is recruited herself. Maybe they meet at a shooting competition! I would also love to see them hook up, especially if this hookup involves gunplay
  



• Cora Delacourt(Page&Sommers)/Edith Pickering (P&S) & Fen Carruth (Think of England)/Pat Merton (ToE), Cora Delacourt(Page&Sommers)/Edith Pickering (P&S)/Fen Carruth (Think of England)/Pat Merton (ToE) – Feel free to use my Cora&/Pat prompts and just add in the girlfriends! I would also love to see a setup where Pat and Fen are independently investigating something (I love the headcanon where they end up being basically private detectives) and run into yet more spies
  


• Lord Corvin (Band Sinister) & Lord Courtenay (Turner Series), Lord Corvin (Band Sinister)/Lord Courtenay (Turner Series) - Reading the Turner Series, I was struck by how similar Courtenay is to Corvin in the broad strokes, so of course I want to see them meet up. Maybe in Courtenay’s more disreputable days, or maybe they become or stay friends after the events of Courtenay’s book (and he and Julian have to convince Lawrence that Corvin really isn’t as bad as he is made out to be). I also feel like these two would have definitely hooked up at some point in the past if they lived in the same book series, and I would love to see that hookup
  



• Lord Courtenay (Turner Series)/Julian Medlock (Turner Series) & The Murder (Band Sinister) - Listen, I just want to see Courtenay take Julian to a party hosted by Philip or Corvin without telling him where they’re going, and Julian have a heart attack when he realizes just where they are. The Murder and Courtenay seem like they would get along very well, and I feel like once Julian gets over the shock he would enjoy himself as well.
  


• Lord Courtenay (Turner Series)/Julian Medlock (Turner Series)/The Murder (Band Sinister) – Everything for the gen ship still goes, but also, I just want Courtenay and Julian joining in an orgy
  


• Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen) & John Raven (Band Sinister) - I would especially love for these two to meet via correspondence about politics (although I must confess I don’t know enough about 1820s-30s politics to prompt coherently about it). I feel like they would get along swimmingly, and Silas would probably be happy to have another non-aristocratic friend. (You are welcome to make this romantic rather than platonic if you wish!)
  


• The Murder (Band Sinister) & The Ricardians (Society of Gentlemen) - These two groups are such opposites, I would absolutely love to see them interact. Maybe the Ricardians get invited to a Murder party for Reasons, or their paths cross due to blackmail or politics or another canon-typical plotline? I don’t have a ton of prompts, but I will love absolutely anything that throws them in a room together. (I have read the one crossover that exists on AO3, and it is lovely, and I want 10 million more.)
  


• Dominic Frey/Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen)/Lord Corvin/John Raven (Band Sinister) - We know from some of the extra short stories that Dom and Silas are down for threesomes/moresomes, and I really want Silas to introduce Dom to some of his friends for the occasional night of absolutely filthy sex. (I would totally be down for Philip and/or Guy joining in as well!) I would also love Dom and Silas ending up romantically involved with the Murder, and especially Silas and John ganging up on Dom in debates. I could also see Richard having to grudgingly come to terms with the concept of polyamory just like he had to do for Dom’s kinks

Part II – IT

• Beverly Marsh (IT)/Stella Nicholls (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark) - Maybe Bev ends up living in Mill Valley when she moves in with her aunt, or Stella’s quest to find and free her friends takes her to Derry. Or they could meet as adults, with Stella as a paranormal researcher who initially meets Bev when she’s investigating what happened in Derry. I would love to see either of the girls having a lesbian/bi/etc awakening, and/or facing down a ghost together
  


• Dan "Danny" Torrance (Doctor Sleep (2019))/Richie Tozier (IT (Movies)), Eddie Kaspbrak (IT (Movies))/Dan "Danny" Torrance (Doctor Sleep (2019)), Eddie Kaspbrak (IT (Movies))/Richie Tozier (IT (Movies))/Dan "Danny" Torrance (Doctor Sleep (2019)) - I just want these dudes with horror movie childhoods who get dragged back into that horror as an adult to date. They have so much in common! I would love to see one of them accidentally letting slip something supernatural from their life and fully expecting their new boyfriend to run screaming, and then not only does he stay, he opens up about his life as well.
  

Part III – Benjamin January

• Benjamin January (Benjamin January - Barbara Hambly) & Jeremiah Blake (Blake & Avery - MJ Carter), Benjamin January (Benjamin January - Barbara Hambly)/Jeremiah Blake (Blake & Avery - MJ Carter) - I had never considered this crossover, but it is >genius. Two mystery-solving polyglots meet, solve more mysteries together, and possibly kiss, what’s not to love? I could see Blake ending up in New Orleans after the events of his series, or maybe there’s another reason for Ben (and some of the other characters?) to end up in England or India or Blake (and Avery?) to end up in New Orleans. I would love to see them solving crimes together, or teaching each other some of the languages they don’t share
  


• Rufus Carlin & Wyatt Logan & Lucy Preston (Timeless) & Benjamin January (Benjamin January Mysteries) - I really want the Timeless gang to travel back to 1830s New Orleans, guys. I nommed Ben as the crossover character, but I would be equally happy with any or all Benjamin January characters. Ben playing the role of the historical-figure-of-the-episode and helping the Timeless characters accomplish their mission would be delightful, as would them having to help Ben solve a mystery. I would also love to see the Timeless gang bending the rules of time travel and telling Ben some of the positive changes that the future will bring (feel free to get full sappy/cheesy with this)
