Trick or Treat 2022

[firstroad]

First of all, thank you so much for writing for me! I'm excited for anything you come up with, and very easy to please :D You don't have to follow any of the prompts! Feel free to mix and match any of the likes, or borrow a prompt for one fandom for another, or dust off that fic at the bottom of your drawer!

I've never celebrated Halloween, so I don't really mention Halloween-specific things -- please don't take that as me not enjoying those! Everything I know about it sounds incredibly fun, and I would love elements to be included if you also do. I adore anything that has to do with costumes and masks (both in the figurative and literal sense) and horror, so if these are things that you also like in the spirit of the season I would end up very happy!

I will never say no to Serial Killer or contestants-have-to-fight-each-other AUs (death games, gladiators, etc.)


DNWs:

• pregnancy being a major focus (and subsequently miscarriage or abortion being a major focus)
• dub-con or non-con with female victims (mentions are fine if it has happened in canon, but no new incidents or recovery plot please)
• first person POV in narration
• explicit underage (under 18) sex
• graphic abuse or torture of anyone under 18 (fine if aged up for the purpose of the fic/age not mentioned for anime or book characters)
• A/B/O of the Alpha/Omega variety (other configurations such as Alpha/Alpha are okay)
• permanent character death of requested characters
• rule 63 if the end result is a M/F ship
• terminal illness
• unrequested ships being the main focus (them existing for unrequited love purposes or in the background is fine)
• unrequested gender or body-related headcanons (e.g. weight gain kink, flat chested characters suddenly being busty) (body modifications as part of a scifi universe are OK, as are long-term disabilities or injuries)
• AUs in which the characters are parents or kids/de-aging
• lengthy descriptions of cooked food
• for non-mundane canons, AUs that remove any fantasy/sci-fi/action element (AUs that include completely different SFF elements from canon are OK) (AUs that are in the real world but have focus on the physical/contain action elements such as pro athlete/spy/bodyguard are OK)

The list is slightly long, but only so everything is covered! Anything not touching those is fair game.

I'm fine with animal abuse, body horror, fusions (I don’t need to know the canon, as long as it can be wiki-ed), graphic violence, gore, OCs as a love interest (I do however prefer F/F and M/M to F/M), one-sided relationships, torture, cheating, unusual POVs that aren’t 1st person (2nd person, outsider, etc.) (1st person also great in notes, diary entries, tweets, etc.)


Bleach

Fandom-specific DNW: Kazui or Ichika mentions

Unohana Retsu

• I want alllll the pre-canon from her time as a bloodthirsty maniac (affectionate <3)
• We were never properly shown what her bankai does in the manga - would love theories!
• AU where she lives

Ship: Grimmjow Jaegerjaques/Kurosaki Ichigo

• Violence as a love language <3
• I think their dynamic also works great in any sort of high fantasy AU
• We get a little bit of Ichigo using his Hollow powers post-accepting them in that Horn of Salvation chapter - I think he should get to use them more, for fun and for profit
• Role reversal AU?
• Anything else!

Ship: Shihouin Yoruichi/Soifon

• More of their past while Yoruichi was still in Soul Society
• Rival bodyguards in the same security company AU?
• Post-canon glimpse
• Honestly anything else!!!

Ship: Dokugamine Riruka/Inoue Orihime

• Given how little we saw of them interacting my love might be disproportionate but I adore this ship! I love how Riruka is prepared to dislike Orihime -- and then very much doesn't! But in true trope fashion she also can't just admit she likes her.
• I would love to see anything that shows how Riruka's love for cute things extends to Orihime. Any get together fic!
• I find Orihime underutilised in general, would adore works that show how much her kindness is her strength
• Glimpse of them during the Thousand Year Blood War arc with the assumption that they got together during the Fullbring arc? Or maybe they didn't!

Zangetsu

• He spent SOOO LONGGGG with nobody knowing he's the actual sword spirit. He taught Ichigo without Ichigo even realising it! He protected! I love the contrast between that VS how bloodthirsty he acts
• Anything taking place in Ichigo's inner world is great
• The anime filler zanpakutou rebellion arc, except this time with the proper zanpakutou? :D

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga

Fandom-specific DNW: implications of past or present romantic/sexual relashionships between Roy and any of the girls working for Madame Christmas (pretend dating to trade information obviously OK), the wider narrative treating Scar as a villain (specific characters doing so is OK), if penetrative sex is involved: Ed bottoming (anything else OK)

Ship: Roy Mustang/Scar

• Bodyswap early on in the series when they don't know much about Scar yet!
• Post-canon, working together to restore Ishval
• Either the healthy 'acknowledging past all-consuming hate and learning to get over it' path or the unhealthy 'letting that hate actually consume you' path would both be fun <3
• Fixing the Timeline Requires Saving An Enemy <~ or any other time travel trope

Ship: Edward Elric/Roy Mustang

• Bonding over some hyperspecific alchemical theory
• Post-canon diplomatic missions in Creta or Xing or any other country
• How would their relationship change if Roy had actually dealt Envy the finishing blow then?
• This is a ship that I'm weak for Soulmate AUs for
• 03 version of them meets Brotherhood/Manga version of them: either cracky or treated seriously!

Ship: Lan Fan/Winry Rockbell

• Fixing/tuning/working on automail goodness
• Lan Fan not being used to it & still pushing herself too far / Winry helping
• International visits!

DCU

Ship: Dick Grayson/Tiger

• All the missing scenes while in Spyral!
• Assuming we're treating Grayson as a closed canon, would love anything post-canon there
• Even if we're not treating it as post-canon! Anything post-that run
• Different first meeting AUs

Ship: Dick Grayson/Raptor

• You know what, I wish I had prompts for this... I just find it very sexy

Ship: Dick Grayson/Jason Todd:

• I'm trying to find things to say that others haven't already said a million times before and it's quite hard. Follow your heart! Do anything!

Death Note

Permanent requested character death DNW waived for this fandom

Ship: L/Yagami Light

• Sociopath4Sociopath True OTP. Mostly joking, but I love how devoted they both are to their idea of justice and I love anything where that clashes

Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater

Mundane AU DNW waived for this fandom

Ship: Joseph Kavinsky/Adam Parrish

• Kavinsky knows how to get to people... would love to see how he'd manage with Adam
• Kavinsky finding ways to get at Ronan through his friends ;~)
• Canon divergence AU where Adam didn't meet Gansey and Ronan first, but Kavinsky & co?

Ship: Ronan Lynch/Adam Parrish

• Everything <3
• Their life at the Barns!
• Dreamspace meetings
• More magical forests?
• And anything else

Feel free to consider Dreamer Trilogy canon or not!

Persephone Poldma

• Psychic practices!
• We saw her teaching Adam through his perspective; what about hers?
• AU where she lives
• Her meeting with the women of 300 Fox Way

Dare Me (TV)

Ship: Beth Cassidy/Addy Hanlon

• I love how deep their relationship goes and I love how they just keep running from their feelings. I love how Beth behaves the way you'd expect the best person in the team to behave, but how Addy is just as much of that "stereotype" and revered by the school population even when she doesn't realise it. I would want absolutely anything with them!
• Their average day spent together pre-that kiss? Or pre-Colette
• Something where their lack of communication somehow lands them in a happy spot anyway
• Going their different ways for college and then reconnecting?
• Would also be very happy with AUs!

I'm fine with fic about/mentioning eating disorders or anything else typical to people whose lives revolve around a sport.




Psycho-Pass

Ship: Kougami Shinya/Makishima Shougo

• I love the obsession most of all! I would love more of it, whether the person they're obsessing over is dead or alive.
• Proper meeting while Kougami was still an inspector?
• Or even earlier, before Makishima had fully settled on his goal
• AU where Makishima survives
• Roleswap AU
• Anything else!

Attack on Titan

Ship: Jean Kirstein/Eren Jaeger

• I adore all the ways they clash, and would love more of it, whether in AU or canon!
• Would be very into any canon divergence, especially around the basement reveal.
• AU where they were born in Marley and they were the ones sent to the island?
• I love fantasy politics and machinations, so something set within the walls would be lovely too, or from that time Eren infiltrated Marley's military but without going down That, uh, path.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Ship: Azula/Ty Lee

• I'm a simple person, caring a lot for someone yet knowing you have to stop them gets me bad.
• Any missing scene!
• Post-canon visits while Azula is in prison? Ft. horror (real or hallucinated by Azula :D)?
• AU where Ty Lee and Mai did not in fact betray Azula

Ship: Jet/Zuko

• I love all the identity-related things this could bring
• Sort of related to the above, I think they could fit well in a Superhero (or Supervillain?) AU
• Anything else, really!

Sk8 the Infinity

Ship: Ship: Nanjo Kojiro/Shindo Ainosuke (SK8)

• This is not a ship I see often (at least, not on its own) so I would love absolutely anything!
• Since this is a Halloween exchange, something supernatural forcing them together?
• Or trapped in a haunted house?
• AU where they met in Italy?
• Anything pre-canon!
