Chocolate Box Letter

[asymptotically]

Thank you so much for writing for me! <3 I've got a mix of prompts and my likes list is pretty big, so there will hopefully be something we both like! I'm pretty easily pleased, especially since almost everything I requested this time is a rarepair. I really love tropes and fluff and angst and canon typical messes, so just have fun with it!

Nan Chan

Cang Ji/Jing Lin

This is such a ridiculous novel with such a ridiculous premise (Sad nap-boy turns out to be a god who got patricidal! Hungry fish gets a human form and turns out to be way more than a fish! All sorts of vore references! A bell!) that gets incredibly real incredibly fast. I love it. Jin Ling is very sad and very tired and kind of mean and kind of struggling to deal with both resurfacing memories and Cang Ji's increasing hotness. Cang Ji stays very hungry and possessive and down for a fight, but how that gets expressed changes as he (literally) grows and starts to figure out what his emotions actually are. Every time he reaches peak "You are a fish, sir" he does something charming or says something that you can just tell is going to be straight up knives when we learn what happened before the book started.

Prompts:

• More of any of the moments where Cang Ji accidentally flustered Jing Lin.
• Cang Ji having time to corner Jing Lin more and try to get him to explain the porn in the brothel (maybe ending in more avoidance and Jing Lin getting flustered a lot, maybe ending in actual porn or explanations)
• Them having to wash up in a river or getting caught in the rain or something and Jing Lin getting really flustered over all those muscles and all that wetness while Cang Ji is having fun water time (and maybe flirting a lot once he realizes Jing Lin is paying attention).
• Someone going after Jing Lin (attacking him, flirting with him, anything really) and getting a whole lot of possessive Cang Ji in response.
• Jing Lin getting hurt, and Cang Ji both caring for him and licking the blood off.
• Canon typical vore threats and possessiveness and blood drinking.

I'm following the translation at http://jade-rabbit.net/bl/nanchan/nanchan-synopsis/, so please no spoilers past that!




 

Scum Villain

I love all the dumb characters in this dumb book and all their OTTness. Airplane wrote such a mess, but the worldbuilding that resulted from that makes for an amazing setting with so many things that can just get pulled out whenever. I'm fine with either assuming that some things were smoothed out to make actual sense when PIDW became a real world, or with leaning into the craziness. There is nothing that is too tropey for this canon.

I'm totally fine with focus on Shen Qingqiu's canon death (even if everyone thinks he's permadead at that point), SQQ exploding his core, and that sort of thing.

SVSSS specific DNWs are at the bottom (click here)

Liu Qingge/Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu

• Arguments! Bickering! Two peak lords being really dumb at each other! The novel hinted at that and then didn't give us much of it.
• Stuff with the other peak lords, especially if it's either post-relationship or during that state where they are constantly flirting and both very much insistent that they aren't doing that.
• Missionfic. There's so many ways that missions can go from straight up fights to more mystical things to plots that have SQQ cursing at Airplane in his head.
• Without A Cure causing issues at just the wrong time (or the right time).
• They had to have so many quiet moments due to LQG helping clear SQQ's meridians after the poison (Or not so quiet, if they were arguing before that).
• LQG dealing with SQQ's sudden personality change. We found out in the Airplane extras that they definitely think he's lost his memories, do they do anything beyond just shrugging and letting it stand?

Mobei-jun/Shang Qinghua

• SQH's poor beleaguered demonic-protection-squad or other ways that MBJ is trying to protect him (whether SQH is still oblivious or figures it out)
• SQH solving situations and rescuing MBJ with cleverness.
• SQH getting into problems and MBJ rescuing him with violence.
• All the dumb ways that they talk past each other where it's so obvious MBJ is trying to flirt but SQH is taking it the entirely wrong way.
• Demonic culture and Cultivator culture and odd quirks of the world they live in! Especially if SQH is having to regret the way he wrote it at some point now that he's living it.
• Really elaborate rituals (pre or post relationship).
• Really tropey rituals because SQH wrote them and now he has to live them!
• Post-canon wedding!
• SQH adjusting to being officially a demon lord's spouse, and MBJ adjusting to being "welcome" (sort of) on Cang Qiong.
• I'm fine with Bingqiu being a part of fic for this one, as long as it isn't more in focus than the Moshang!

Yue Qingyuan/Shen Jiu | Original Shen Qingqiu

• SJ's sniping and all their one-sided arguments. He's terrible and I adore every bit we got of him despite that so honestly just "more of that" is perfect.
• All the canon divergences. Shen Jiu refusing to go to Cang Qiong. SJ finding out about YQY's qi deviation. Roleswap. Demon/Cultivator swap.
• SJ not being accepted into the sect because he's too old and how YQY reacts to that. Does he leave as well? Does he think SJ doesn't need him anymore and stay? If he tries to leave does CQ hastily adjust and SJ ends up on Qiong Ding or as an outer disciple or do they stick to their guns?
• PIDW YQY getting to time travel/loop.

TGCF

This series was so much. So much. Not just because of Hualian being adorable but also because of so many side characters omg and all their relationships with each other and all their drama. Turns out heaven is an absolute mess and it's only half Jun Wu's fault!

I'm requesting my rarepairs only, but I'm honestly also fine with ensemble fic that focuses on one of these these relationships without it having to be "shippy enough". I'm also totally fine with however much or little Hualian you want to put into a fic for this, as long as the fic is still mostly focused on the requested rarepair! I adore them, I just didn't have any prompts for them other than waving at canon like "more of this" and I am neck deep in desperate rarepair hell.

Feng Xin/Jian Lan & Cuo Cuo

• JL staying alive until FX ascends, resulting in FX bringing her and Cuo Cuo up with him to the heavens.
• FX figuring out about JL before he does in canon and all the complicated ways that could go. Maybe the same as canon? Maybe not?
• Post-canon, them slowly figuring out their relationship. JL is very jaded and clearly thinks that moving on is best, but the two of them have gone 800 years without falling in love with anyone else. Maybe it really is past the point of going back to anything normal and they need to work out how to co-parent and be friends, or maybe they can work back to an actual relationship now that they've got the chance.
• Cuo Cuo running off to cause trouble and JL coming to FX for help finding him.
• I am blatantly stealing this prompt from a friend who I think is only partially responsible for it, but: Mpreg where cleansing Cuo Cuo is so complicated that the most logical way to accomplish that is for him to be immersed in spiritual energy in a womb. Which means Feng Xin. For potentially a lot longer than a normal pregnancy. And how they both deal with that (and any effects that has on how he's worshipped).

Ling Wen/Yushi Huang

• Low key flirting while getting things done.
• Working together on some sort of complicated thing while the martial gods make a whole mess all around them.
• Everyone else thinks that Ling Wen taking time from her busy schedule to go to the Rainmaster instead of making the Rainmaster come to her like everyone else has to is just politeness and respect, but no it's absolutely flirting.
• Ling Wen having a lot of respect for Rainmaster's absolutely brutal pragmatism and self-sacrifice that led to her ascension.
• The three tumors being very Them and Rainmaster being very impervious to their whole dynamic.
• Ling Wen getting involved with Rainmaster post-canon due to Pei Ming trying to figure out his emotions and reactions to her.

Shi Qingxuan/Pei Su

• Post-canon with the two of them both figuring out the whole how-to-be-mortal thing. Maybe they just keep crossing paths, maybe Rainmaster is starting a collection of ex-gods, maybe Pei Su ends up getting sent by Rainmaster to help a thing that's in an area where SQX is begging.
• Pre-canon, with SQX flirting (accidentally or on purpose) and flustering PS.
• Pei Ming attempting to matchmake.
• Pei Ming or Ling Wen trying to help out SQX for SWD, and Pei Ming trying to get Pei Su back as part of that and getting it all tangled up.
• Meeting each other again as mortals (or almost mortals) and having the weirdness of both of their positions having changed so drastically, especially considering how things went down in Ban Yue.

Quan Yizhen/Yin Yu

• QYZ finding YY's trail before canon. Whether that just results in YY having his version of a horror game where he keeps barely fleeing the person after him, or if QYZ actually catches him and YY has to now deal with him on an emotional level and acknowledge that QYZ doesn't want him dead.
• QYZ catching YY after pulling off his mask.
• QYZ's quest to resurrect YY. And YY's reaction when he manages it.
• YY's slow realization that QYZ just actually adores and respects him a whole lot.
• Canon divergence where after QYZ ascends he just...assumes they'll still be fighting together and sharing the same territory, and it resulting in a much different dynamic (especially if the mortals start to ship it)
• Actually you know what that's its own prompt. The mortals shipping it after QYZ ascends and pairing up their statues and making increasingly awkwards stories up about them.

Star Wars The Old Republic

This game has eaten so much of my life. I love how much of a giant complicated mess all of the force user stuff is in the game and how much more complicated that gets once KOTFE hits! There are so many antagonistic or could be antagonistic but aren't type ships and they're so absolutely my jam.

I've only played past Iokath once so I don't have any prompts for that (nor for Arcann's canon romance because I am terrible and haven't actually played it yet), but there's no need to worry about spoilers so please feel free to use my likes or adjust my prompts to include the later time period things as well!

SWTOR specific DNWs are at the bottom (click here)

Arcann/Male Jedi Consular

• There as so many dynamics this can have depending on what point in the story they're at. Whether it's before they even meet, or when Arcann is obsessing over the Consular during those five years, or when Arcann is convincing himself that the Consular is just a meatpuppet for his dad, or if it's between his defeat and him joining the Alliance and the many many different ways you could take his emotional journey there, or if it's after Arcann joins the alliance and is a weird mix of subordinate/ally/former-enemy. And that's all without even taking all the different ways that the Consular's personality and Jediness could come into play.
• I really really love the Consular's Act 1 shield ability (I have a thing with the whole 'power comes with a potentially deadly price' trope) and anything to do with force healing in general.
• Accidental force bonds especially for this one.
• Scars, especially Arcann dealing with having stabbed the Consular and the knowledge that the only reason he hasn't killed the Consular twice over is due to his father intervening.
• Senya getting involved.
• Canon divergence when they meet sooner, or where Valkorion takes a different approach to interacting with the rest of the galaxy and they meet in a very different context.
• Them having to work together (either pre or post Voss) and Valkorion making things extra tense by showing up to loom.
• Having to work together while still very definitely enemies (maybe they get trapped somewhere and the Consular is able to convince Arcann to stop fighting him for long enough to get out? Maybe Arcann agrees because he thinks it'll be easier to capture him right before they get out than now?) and again with Valkorion trying to mess this up.

Darth Acina/Female Sith Inquisitor

• Two very powerful women being incredibly smart and flirting with and/or threatening each other.
• Arguing and flirting in the middle of Dark Council meetings
• The SI needing to get some artifact or something and trying to sweet talk Acina into giving her access.
• Acina calling on the SI for field help or for information she knows the SI has but isn't giving easy access to.
• Sith Politics.
• Working together to try to figure out where Vitiate's spirit fled to.
• Figuring out what their new dynamic is during KOTET where instead of Dark Lords on equal standing, they're an Empress and a rebellion Commander (or even later when the SI might be another Empress or have the most powerful army in the galaxy)

Male Sith Warrior/Theron Shan

• Enemies to allies to enemies to allies to faked enemies but only Theron knows that to allies and wherever lovers might fit into that whole confusing emotional timeline.
• Any sort of canon divergence or roleswap or meet-at-a-different-time.
• Rescue missions set during the time periods where they're supposed to be enemies.
• Theron finding something Sithy and having to go to the Warrior for help with it between Yavin and Ziost.
• Rescue missions in general actually!
• Wrath breaking rules and/or social mores on purpose and just daring anyone to stop him. Theron pretending like he's totally not breaking rules but maybe also breaking rules.
• Being forced to work together as enemies, whether it's when they do that in canon or if they have to team up earlier or later as well.
• Agreeing that they need to stop the relationship thing after Rishi...and then sneaking around on Yavin anyways.
• The weirdness of being being allies without having their old positions waiting for them to go back to, and probably never being able to go back, during the Alliance.
• Canon divergence where the Warrior doesn't become Wrath (and thus isn't able to deal with Baras how he does in canon), but runs into Theron anyways.

Prey

I fell ridiculously in love with this game and its characters basically from the moment I picked it up. The whole premise is amazing and painful and I love it. (I had to cheat to get through it, but the plot and relationships were worth it!)

I'm fine with any way you want to interpret how the ending means the characters ended up! My favorite is the "everyone is alive in another room" interpretation, but this game is go great for angst and there's a ton of neat AI implications that could be done from that so feel free to go there too!

Alex Yu & Morgan Yu

• Hello complicated sibling relationships!
• Pre-game Morgan trusting Alex less and less, and Alex frantically trying to get his "real" sibling back.
• Pre-game Morgan trying to confront Alex over what's going on in Pyschotronics.
• Pre-game Alex trying to figure out what Morgan is up to and not being sure if he can even predict them anymore because their personality is so different.
• Alex contacting real Morgan during the events of the game trying to talk them through things and just generally doing everything he can to keep them alive and moving.
• Alex trying to predict what Original Morgan would have done and struggling with trying to be both them and himself in mental arguments about things to figure out what the actual compromise should be, because Morgan isn't Morgan anymore.
• Morgan having a breakdown during one of the confrontations with Alex. Or Alex having the breakdown.
• Morgan managing to get up to the escape pod (with no intention of leaving) trying to find Alex and just losing it when they realize it's just his tracker.

Typhon Morgan Yu & Anyone

• I'm grouping these all together, because the theme of any of these is really the humans having to deal with not-quite-Morgan-not-quite-Tython after the end of the game. There's a lot of ways that that could go depending on which of them it is, what their relationship with Morgan is, and what sort of baggage they're carrying.
• Tython Morgan trying to deal with feeling like they know someone, based on the memories they were given...and that person isn't interacting with the same assumptions since technically this isn't a Morgan they've ever actually had contact with.
• Morgan themselves interacting with this strange mirror of them, and whatever complicated mess could come with any combo of Tython Morgan & Morgan or Tython Morgan & January because they've all got a slightly different version of "Morgan's" personality...and none of them are the Original.
• Anything with Alex, whether that's angsty or fun or them just trying to work out a not-Morgan relationship.

Sarah Elazar/Female Morgan Yu

• Slight (or major) AU where either Elazar follows up on her intentions to confront Alex about Morgan being an unwilling test subject in the loop phase, or does a more detailed investigation. Maybe she finds some of the clues that Morgan is leaving for themself or January/December or is just generally able to get more information about what's going on, and what she does with that.
• As an extension of the above, maybe instead of Morgan having a day of blank neuromods, Elazar manages to get authorization to break things up a day early and pulls Morgan out of the simulation. And then things start going to hell so now she's got a very confused VP with Tython powers who wants to go fix everything (and figure out wtf) to babysit, and she's got to make all the choices about how much to tell a Morgan who has no clue what they've done. On top of trying to keep everyone alive.
• How the outbreak went down from Elazar's perspective. We know they ended up in the cargo bay but not much about how they got there or what led to it.
• During the events of the game with the real Morgan, the two of them trading notes trying to figure out everything that was happening and Morgan struggling to deal with what seems from their perspective like a betrayal by Alex.
• Just general exploration of their relationship, whether it's antagonistic tension or if they actually work fairly well together, and what Elazar thinks of all the Morgan is up to.

SVSSS specific DNWs:

• PIDW characters finding out they were considered fictional in another world.
• Bingqiu in a Liushen fic (Just pretend that Bingqiu never happened if post-canon. This DNW is *only* for Liushen fic. I adore both pairings so it's just about dealing with the canon relationship. Lishen → Bingliushen is fine as long as it's not V type.)

SWTOR specific DNW:

• Mentor/mentee dynamics
