Trick Or Treat 2017 Letter

withinadream(Edited 9/21 to add my favorite ships, in case you're looking to make a shippy gift. My statement that I'd love to receive any ship I didn't list as a DNW still stands, though!)
Thank you for writing/drawing for me! I've requested art and fic for all fandoms/ships, 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.
Note: I love all my requests equally, so please don't take length of prompts as indication of which ones I prefer! It's 100% an indication of which ones I had earlier prompts I could copy/paste and/or which ones belong to canons I watched/read/listened to recently, and 0% an indication of which ones I want more/less.
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. 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.
My prompts this year are very spooky, but you don't have to follow them if you'd prefer to write something more canon-compliant or less fantastical!
DNWs: pregnancy/childbirth (I'm fine with mentions, but would prefer no details described in fic or pregnant characters shown in art), oviposition, PIV sex
Treat-type likes: Accidental Baby Acquisition, kidfic in general, characters dressing up fancy (or going undercover in situations that require costumes), celebrating anniversaries or holidays
Trick-type likes: Supernatural creatures (especially ghosts and fairies), spending the night in a haunted house on a dare/for a prize/etc, trauma and recovery, the Comes Back Wrong trope, injuries and gore (seriously, if you're into it, get as violent as you want)
Smut-type likes: Pretty much anything under the BDSM umbrella (especially informal kink), noncon (especially Fuck or Die), crossdressing, sex toys, gunplay (or other weaponsplay), awkward sex
Benjamin January Mysteries - Barbara Hambly
Characters Requested: Any (Benjamin January, Rose Vitrac January, Abishag Shaw, Hannibal Sefton, Ayasha January)
Ships I like: Ben/Rose, Ben/Rose/Hannibal, Ben/Hannibal, Ben/Shaw, Ben/Ayasha, Ben/Rose/Ayasha, Ben/Rose/Hannibal/Ayasha
Any of the characters investigating a supernatural-flavored mystery would be lovely. Maybe there's a ghostly hitchhiker on the streets of New Orleans, or a strange creature lurking out on the bayous? Perhaps someone accidentally summons a ghost (possibly Ayasha's ghost)? Or you could inflict a loup-garou or a zombie apocalypse on the cast.
Dark Matter - Michelle Paver
Characters Requested: Any (Gus Balfour, Jack Miller, The Gruhuken Ghost)
I'd love to see Jack processing what happened at Gruhuken (possibly combined with a Jack-lives AU where they end up dealing with the trauma together), or a gift where Gus is trapped as a ghost at Gruhuken after his death (you can either leave him there, or have Jack rescue his soul). I also love the atmosphere of the novel, and would love to see the ghost's effects on OCs or a crossover with any of the characters from my fandoms somehow ending up at Gruhuken (or encountering an AU version of the Gruhuken ghost in their own locale).
Les Miserables - Victor Hugo
Characters Requested: Marius, Cosette, Eponine
Ships I like: Marius/Cosette, Cosette/Eponine, Marius/Cosette/Eponine, Marius/any Ami, Marius/Javert
This is a great canon for ghosts, seeing as the vast majority of the cast is dead by the end ;) I'd also love a supernatural AU--there are some great vampire!Marius posts floating around Tumblr, or maybe Eponine survives the barricades by virtue of being some sort of supernatural creature? I have an unending need for post-canon Cosette fic as well (and if you do an Eponine-lives AU to allow for Cosette/Eponine(/Marius), so much the better).
The Magnificent Seven (2016)
Characters Requested: Any (Goodnight Robicheaux, Billy Rocks, Vasquez, Joshua Faraday, Sam Chisolm, Red Harvest, Emma Cullen, Teddy Q)
Ships I like: Faraday/Vasquez, Goody/Billy, Faraday/Chisolm, Faraday/Teddy Q
I'd love ghost fic featuring the canonically-dead characters, or some-chars-live/everyone-lives AUs that focus on recovery (I know there's a lot of post-Rose Creek recovery fic out there, but I can never get enough). I'd also love to see any of the characters taking on a more supernatural problem than in the movie, whether in an AU adding supernatural elements to the Bogue conflict or a post-canon fic where the gang takes on a new problem that turns out slightly more paranormal than expected.
Silly porn prompt: I would love either a full-cast orgy or a Faraday-gets-gangbanged gift
Wolf 359
Characters Requested: Doug Eiffel, Renee Minkowski, Isabel Lovelace, Hera
Fandom-Specific DNW: Fluffy Hilbert/Eiffel (I love them as noncon or with a hatesex/hatemance vibe, though!)
Ships I like: Minkowski/Lovelace, Hera/Maxwell, Eiffel/any combo of Minkowsky, Hera, and/or Lovelace, Eiffel/Hilbert
Note: I haven't listened to the Lovelace special episode yet, but I will have finished it by gift reveals.
Some of my favorite episodes have been the ones leaning on horror tropes, and I'd love to see some space horror. Enough bad things have gone down on the Hephaestus for it to be haunted, and I'd love to see the team running into some ghosts. I also lovelovelove the Lovelace reveal and what we've seen of its impact on everyone, and would love a gift focused on that. (I'd also be really into some whump or gore focusing on Lovelace, or perhaps Eiffel, recovering from should-be-fatal injuries, if that's your thing).
Silly porn prompts: the latest episodes have given me a craving for Eiffel being dommed by Minkowski, Lovelace, Hera, or any combination of the three. And I always want zero-G sex for any ship! AI smut is also lovely (I could see Hera either being good at dirty talk or hilariously bad at it, or maybe she can bring parts of the Hephaestus into the fun).
Timeless
Characters Requested: Rufus Carlin, Lucy Preston, Wyatt Logan
Fandom-Specific DNW: Lucy/Wyatt as a standalone ship (although I'm cool with them as part of a larger poly ship)
Ships I like: Rufus/Lucy/Wyatt, Lucy/Jiya, Rufus/Jiya
I really want some more time travel shenanigans. I'd love to see the characters meeting up with more historical figures, and I'd especially love it if you can throw them into some more non-US history (feel free to justify this as much or as little as you want). I also have a ridiculous desire for some smut involving historical characters--either the ones the team has already met (maybe Lucy and Wyatt have a fourway with Bonnie and Clyde to distract them, or Rufus makes out with Hemingway), or your favorite historical figure that hasn't been featured on the show. (If you take me up on the historical smut, I'm okay with PIV sex for this fandom.) I also love the costuming aspect of the time travel, so if you're an artist, I would love to see any of the characters in your favorite historical garb.
American Gods (TV)
Characters Requested: Laura Moon
Ships I like: Laura/Audrey, Laura/Shadow, Laura/Mad Sweeney, Laura/Shadow/Mad Sweeney
I've read the novel, so feel free to draw on book-canon details in your gift if you want! Also, I'm okay with PIV sex for this fandom
I love resurrection plots, so Laura is the character of my dreams. I would really love to see some more details on the effects of Laura's death and undeath (the visuals in the show were so cool, and I'd especially love to see more of them in art), and if you want to get weird with some corpse smut, I won't say no! I'm also really into Laura/Audrey, especially in an AU where Laura cheats with Audrey instead of/in addition to Robbie.
