Trick or Treat 2022
Hi, thanks for signing up (or volunteering to be a pitch hitter)! Most of this letter is copy and pasted from past letters, but please go where your creation takes you as you see fit! For dark likes, I have more likes listed here. I'm also explictly opting in to unusual formats/styles! IF, non-linear narratives, epistolary, second person, etc. sounds great to me if you want to go there.
Some of my requests and prompts might be short but please note that I want them just as much as my longer requests. Don't worry about fitting my prompts exactly in any of my requests as I welcome different ideas with my requested pairings. This letter is meant to be an overview of the things I like, and aside from my DNWs, it's 100% optional. Thanks for taking a look at my letter and I hope you have an enjoyable time creating!
You can find me as sheeon on AO3. Receiving treats is turned on.

Overview
- I'm open to fic rated from G to E. In terms of fic length, I love anything from the small to long epics. For all of my requests, feel free to mix up the freeforms or prompts as you wish.
- I like all kinds of genres and tone! Exploring emotions in narratives is a big draw for me, be it about dark themes or more lighthearted themes.
- I love seeing how characters view the world around them and how they interact with others, positive or negative. Plotty fic would be great but I'm also just as happy with more introspective stories.
- Feel free to treat this list as optional. It's only meant to help give you more ideas if you want them.

Smut Likes
- As far as sex goes in general, I like any combination of anal, oral, rimming (for m/m), vaginal sex, breast/nipple play, handjobs, and fingering (in no particular order). I also enjoy slightly unrealistic sex. Sex that's unrealistic in terms of how much a character can come, how fast they can get it up, and handwaving that because it's magic/superpowers/alien biology is perfectly fine with me.
- For vocabulary, I generally enjoy more explicit terms than flowery language and prefer "come" over "cum". Unless specified, I have no preferences about top/bottom dynamics. When it comes to smut, I love seeing focus on the emotions between characters, what the sex means for them, or general intense feelings.

Art Likes (Click for more)
- Characters Interacting — Any kind of emphasis on touch between two characters ○ For friendships or couples: Standing near each other, hugging, holding hands, etc. ○ For couples: kissing each other (on mouth, on forehead, on the hand, etc.), blushing in each other's presence, staring into each other's eyes (in a romantic way or in a UST way) ○ Alternatively, scenes of characters looking at each other from across a room or a sense of space being between them (I can see this being great for art with a sadder tone or as the beginning of a new relationship, just throwing out ideas).
- Colors — Bright ○ Muted ○ Black and white (plus one color that stands out)
- Art Styles — Any art style from realistic to more cartoon-y ○ I especially like chibi-ish art styles for lighthearted and cute ideas and more anatomy focused styles for sexy/dark ideas ○ Art styles that mimic the canon art style ○ Art styles that portrays the characters in a different art style to canon ○ Art styles that are more painted to give a dreamy fairy tale sort of feel ○ Art nouveau ○ Art deco ○ Sketchy style (in charcoal or otherwise)
- Scenarios — Dancing together ○ Whump (I'm good with blood as long as it's not detailed hyper-realistic gore. Characters having a bloody nose and/or black eye, being covered in blood (particularly for dark canons), or a wound injury is about my comfort level.) ○ Characters exploring or on an adventure ○ Hurt/comfort and angst (the characters in a sad moment, a character being under the weather and their partner is sitting by their side, a friend cheering a character up after a bad day) ○ Requested characters playing a game together or hanging out with friends ○ A funny and/or cute moment between the characters ○ Art of important scenes from canon where the characters interact (or inspired from canon)

- Details — Fine details in general ○ Emphasis on facial expressions ○ Focus on the clothing characters wear or their hairstyle
Do Not Wants:
General DNWs
- Unrequested non-canon divergence AUs
- By non-canon divergence, I mean alternate universes that change the setting and rules of the canon universe such as mundane AUs, A/B/O, IN SPACE! AUs, etc. or makes major changes to relationships such as making characters suddenly related (or vice versa).
- Unrequested identity headcanons (gender, race, other) (Assuming flexibility with canon sexuality is fine.)
- Kidfic (Defining kidfic to mean "fic where the characters get a non-canon kid"); Unrequested pregnancy involving requested characters (Mentions of background pregnant characters are fine.)
- Permanent death of requested characters (Feel free to ignore this for IF based choice games.)
- Unrequested poly/open relationships
- Unrequested infidelity (For ships that are dating in canon that would get in the way, I'd prefer that they've broken up.)
- Focus on unrequested ships (Background mentions are okay.)
- Heavy gore (Meaning wounds being so extreme that guts fall out or loss of body parts. Describing bloody wounds from a gun shot/knife or a broken bone is fine.); heavy descriptions of torture (Non-graphic violence of the manhandling/action movie level is fine.)
- As a rule of thumb, I'm looking for injuries to give the requested characters permanent (non-disabling) scars or lose a minor internal organ at worst.
- Bleak hopeless endings
- Animal harm/abuse (Canon typical is fine. Brief moments of animals being killed for rituals or hunting is okay. No heavy focus on them in pain, please.)
Sexual DNWs
- Age play/infantilization
- Virginity, repression = OK; totally unaware of sex = DNW.
- Detailed on-screen consent negotiations
- Unrequested noncon (Would rather not have mindbreak/total mind control/full blown stockholm syndrome but bad guys winning is fine as long as victim can theoretically escape and isn't totally mentally helpless.); unaroused victim for dubcon or noncon (Forced/unwanted orgasm, shameful feelings about being aroused, etc. is great.)
- Explicit sexual content for characters 14 or younger.
- For underage characters, I'd prefer if there wasn't much kinking on how young they physically look. Remarking on their young person energy or lack of life experience is fine but I'd like to avoid "they look childlike" type of descriptions in sex scenes. (I'm also fine with ages not being mentioned as long as I can assume they're old enough.)
- Choking (Hands/rope around neck)
- Breathplay from oral sex or kissing is okay. Non-sexual choking in a regular fight scene is okay (especially if canon) as long as it's not focused on.
- Bodily fluids (Scat, vomit, and watersports)
- Spit, genital fluids, and drawing small amounts of blood during sex is okay.
- Serious bodily harm in sex
- Sex with violence on the level of face slapping, scratching, biting, or threat of harm with no serious injury (such as broken bones or anal tearing) is okay. Spanking until ass is red = OK; getting a black eye during sex = DNW.
- Other kinks I DNW: feminization/crossdressing, body mods, daddy/mommy kink (specifically the word), contract/24-7 BDSM, object insertions (non-sex toy objects), weight gain/feeding/inflation, sounding, enemas.
Thanks for reading my Do Not Wants section! If you're confused about anything or would like further clarification, please feel free to contact me through the mods and I'll make an effort to respond in a timely manner.
I think Daisy is a really interesting character in her own right and I would love to get more of a look on how she thinks of things and what her world looks like! We know what Daisy means to Gatsby and get secondhand accounts of their romance and I always wonder about her side of the story. I'm not necessarily looking for Daisy to be an angel who has no faults of her own, but I would enjoy seeing more of her, flaws and all!
Prompts:
- Anything about Daisy growing up, what her family life looked like, her relationship with Jordan or other girls we don't see in canon.
- How she fell in love with Gatsby and, later, Tom. What did her romance with each look like? Did she ever have second thoughts that canon didn't show us when she was with either of them?
- Something involving Daisy's POV in the middle of canon's events. What was she thinking of during her affair?
- What does Daisy as a mother look like? How does she feel about Pammy? Or, what did her pregnancy look like anyway?
- Something about her life post-canon. To keep in with the Halloween theme, maybe she finds herself being haunted by Myrtle or has other regrets she can't shake.
Request-specific DNWs/clarifications:
- Note: You can ignore my infidelity DNW!
I’ve always thought that it’s very easy to read Nick as having feelings for Gatsby and I’d love to see exploration of that. Gatsby and Nick have great chemistry together and I’m open to a pretty wide variety of interpretations for them! I’m interested in anything from something happy to angsty. It can also be entirely one-sided Nick at Gatsby (or it’s left ambiguous). Nick has a pretty glowing view of Gatsby in the book and I can easily get behind the idea that Gatsby has a meaner side if you want to go to a darker place (or not, if you’d rather write something more positive/fluffy between them!). I’m also happy get smut (both consensual or dubcon if you’re inclined).
A note on other characters and ships: For other ships, I’m fine with canon ships being heavily present (including Gatsby staying with Daisy by the end of the fic) considering the canon as long as the emotional focus is on Nick/Gatsby on some level. With Daisy, I'd prefer Gatsby and Daisy's failed romance in the past to have been a thing as it starts the whole plot, but you can handwave (or not) as much as you like beyond that for the sake of the fic. Maybe Daisy never shows up for the tea party, or Gatsby starts seeing Nick in the middle of seeing Daisy, or Nick and Gatsby get together after Daisy decides to stay with Tom are just a few examples I'd enjoy!
Other letters that might be of interest (100% optional): Chocolate Box 2022 | Smut 4 Smut 2022
Prompts:
- Fudging the timeline a bit, Nick and Gatsby meet during the war.
- Gatsby and Nick share a moment together at one of his parties.
- Anything featuring Gatsby’s criminal background. I’m interested about how Nick would react to finding out more about it. Gatsby ran with what sounded like a violent crowd and engaged in bootlegging (but it could be more!)
- Gatsby being oblivious to Nick’s pining. Or, maybe Gatsby likes Nick back and is trying to court him with mixed success.
- What if Nick did take Gatsby up on his offer to set him up with his business on the side?
- Any idea you have for angst, creepiness, break-it, or "happy but not morally good" fics. Gatsby comes back wrong, or they become criminals on the run together, Nick being upset about Gatsby being dead post-canon, or any other idea that serves well for a "trick"!
- All the canon divergent AUs! Maybe Daisy never shows up for that first re-meeting with Gatsby, or Gatsby lives (extra points if Nick saves him somehow), or maybe Gatsby and Nick have a physical relationship when Gatsby is waiting for Daisy but it turns to more. Anything goes!
- Friends With Benefits: The two of them start casually sleeping together (perhaps in the middle of Gatsby waiting for Daisy) and things progress from there. Is one of them determined that it doesn't mean anything until it does? Are they both secretly pining without wanting to say anything?
- Magic AUs: I always love seeing magic related things added to a mundane canon whether it's magical realism, urban fantasy, or magic creatures. How does that alter things for the two of them?
Request-specific DNWs/clarifications:
- Note: You can ignore my infidelity DNW! I'd prefer if there was no infidelity between Nick and Gatsby once they consider themselves in a committed relationship, but Gatsby cheating on Daisy (and/or Nick cheating on Jordan) is perfectly fine (as is the canon infidelity plot).
Haunted House/Male Heir to the House
Prompts:
- Heir keeps having unsettling/sexy dreams about the house.
- Heir finds out the haunted house is just a ghost/demon cursed to haunt the house. For a lighter take, maybe the heir brings the ghost back to life after working together. For a darker one, maybe the ghost plans to take the heir's life for their own.
- Heir hates the house when he first arrives but gets stockholmed into staying.
- Demon activity is surrounding the house and the heir has to survive the night/week/month.
- Heir fixes up the run down house after coming into possession of it and things change because of his actions.
As a general note, please feel free to mix and match my prompts for this fandom If you see an idea in, say, the Grace solo section that you want to apply to Alex/Grace/Daniel, go for for it! In general, I'm a big fan of exploring all the creepiness of this family in whatever form it might take. Rituals for Le Bail, unsettling halloween traditions, what it's like to grow up in such a family, and whatever else you can think of are all things I'd love to see! For ships, I'm good with any consent level from consentual to "this is a very bad idea" dubcon. Noncon of the "Le Bail or [insert thing here] makes them do it" variety is also welcomed!
Request-specific DNWs/clarifications: I'm fine with canon typical violence and ignoring my infidelity/pregnancy DNWs for everything in this section. I'm also fine with permanant character death involving Grace for a Alex/Daniel fic or canon deaths for a solo Grace focus fic.
Prompts:
- Grace dealing with the fallout of everything after the events of the movie. Does she use the money that falls to her or reject everything and for the most part goes back to her old life?
- Following with the above, Grace finds that the family money is cursed somehow.
- Something involving an outsider POV on Grace from the perspective of other wealthy families that were friendly with the Le Domas family and might have known something (or not) about their deal with Le Bail.
- Grace being haunted by the rest of the Le Domas family. I see this being either darkly hilarious or unsettling depending on where you want to go!
- The deal with Le Bail turns out to be bullshit and no one explodes. The massive fallout ensues afterwards.
- Grace finds out that Le Bail isn't done with her. Or she makes her own deal.
- Grace picks a different card and gets accepted into the family without anything major happening. It's not exactly a happily ever after.
- Something about her backstory? What was her romance with Alex like and how did it happen in the first place?
- Grace is adopted into the Le Domas family and grows up with Alex and Daniel as her siblings/cousins.
The Le Domases are such a messed up family in the most fun of ways and I’d love to see exploration of the brothers having messy feelings for each other. I found the bond between Alex and Daniel to be very interesting and would love to see more exploration on Daniel trying to protect his brother (and possibly failing him by trying to protect him) or even more about how Alex sees Daniel (he did talk him down from killing their father, after all). I can imagine growing up would do a number on your moral code and would love to see something based on that as well.
Prompts:
- Anything about their relationship over the years. Maybe they keep having guilt filled sex for ages until Alex leaves the family in an attempt to get out and Daniel ends up having feelings about that. Or anything about the decision to leave the family for good and the brothers being torn by it. Anything about being able to connect with each other with the horror of their family and general codependency/possessiveness is great!
- Alex manages to get there sooner and saves Daniel from being shot.
- For reasons, a ritual requires that they have to have sex together. It could be their first time or maybe they’re already in a secret relationship and the ritual feels like Mr. Le Bail’s way of mocking them.
- Grace ends up as a sacrifice in the end and Alex and Daniel cling to each other trying to put it past them. Or, alternatively, Daniel is increasingly horrified by the change in his brother becoming the new head of the family even as they have a sexual relationship.
- Daniel convinces Alex to stay with the family (or convinces him to come back), not wanting to be left alone by Alex, and struggles with his guilt of doing do as Alex becomes a worse person under his family's continued influence.
- Ill advised druken sex and attraction becoming obvious. Maybe Daniel has done a decent job of hiding his feelings until one night he gets drunk and the secret slips out — which could be in front of Alex only or the rest of the family picks up on something going on.
- The rest of the family finds out somehow. I can see this being humorous where some of the family makes a big deal of it but it turns out that the majority doesn't actually care and only cares about outsiders finding out or a bit darker where Alex and Daniel are shunned and have to navigate the damage to their bond.
- The two of them getting off on the secretcy of their relationship up to cheating on their partners to be together. Sneaking around their family and making excuses with Grace and Charity to see each other. Or, alteratively, they get off to the fact they're brothers and get turned on by hearing dirty talk along those lines.
- All the hurt/comfort that comes with growing up in such a twisted family! Maybe they cling to each other more than they really should or they have nightmares and sleep together in the same bed even when they're too old or they generally make excuses to get their other's attention.
- Alex being the persuer in their relationship where Daniel struggles to turn him down (and increasingly failing to see why he should push his brother away) when he's tried to give him everything else Alex wanted.
- All the hurt/comfort that comes with growing up in such a twisted family! Maybe they cling to each other more than they really should or they have nightmares and sleep together in the same bed even when they're too old or they generally make excuses to get their other's attention.
- They have some kind of magical connection togther. Maybe it's a soulbond spawned from a ritual or something else but however they're connected it only adds their to intense bond. Or, maybe Alex or Daniel Comes Back Wrong and the other has to navigate that.
I find the Alex/Daniel/Grace trio to be super fascinating and would love anything about them! You can't really go wrong here, I just want more.
Prompts:
- They all manage to survive to the end! The three of them end up falling into a dysfunctional relationship knowing that no one else would be able to come close to understanding what happened that night. Does Grace try to work out her anger against Alex in some way? Do Alex and Daniel cling to each other as the only blood family they have left?
- Maybe Grace pulls a normal card, and nothing happens that night, except Grace is pulled into the family and starts to gradually lose her sense of morals as time goes on with Alex and Daniel at her side.
- Grace finds out about Alex and Daniel having a thing for each other and decides to join them out of a desperate attempt to have a family, even if it’s a messed up one.
- Grace gets adopted but this time she gets into a incestous relationship with the brothers.
- Grace pulls a card that isn't the card she gets in the movie but things still get weird. I'm thinking mainly of ritual sex involving Alex and Daniel, but if you have something else in mind, I'm interested in seeing it!
- Or, following with the above idea, they have sex and one of them gets pregnant by surprise or because of a ritual for that purpose (mpreg or regular pregnancy is both welcomed). Maybe the ritual baby ends up being demonic in some way or is the antichrist. I'm also open to this as a Alex/Daniel idea.
- What exactly happened when Alex introduced Grace to Daniel? They seem to know each other before the wedding in the movie and I'd like to see how that introduction went down between the three of them.
- I'd like to see something where the three of them somehow become the new heads of the family (or just Grace being the offical head, maybe?). How does the family dynamic, if the rest of the family is still around, shift in light of such a change? How do other families see them? Does one of them strike some kind of new deal with Le Bail?
- The family is actually a bunch of vampires, or there's creepy fairy tale vibes around the whole situation or just more of a slow burn look at Grace becoming a part of the family, or they're a bunch of serial killers or a crime family and the Le Bail thing just gives them an excuse. Or they worship something that isn't Le Bail but is still bad news. Anything that makes the family still some flavor of creepy but with a different bent to it than canon would be great, really!
- Anything with a time loop. Maybe it's creepy and things get increasingly fucked up the longer it goes on for one of them, or they can't seem to get it right no matter what they do, and/or they're all looping and have to work together to get out, or anything else that comes to mind.
- Grace dies, but haunts Alex and Daniel even as they try to return to normal. Or one of the brothers lives and the other two don't or so on. Either way, I'm open to seeing ghost sex happening or maybe the three of them finding some kind of way to bring back the person(s) that was dead.
- Here you have a blank check to bring in whatever magical element you want! Really, go nuts. I would love to see how it impacts the trio.
Prompts:
- Having a beef against each other! What do either of them get if they win? Or does it end in an unexpected way?
- One of them has a temporary injury that puts them out of skating for a little while and they deal with the change.
- Something that looks into Reki teaching Langa how to skate. Or maybe one time Langa taught Reki something about skating?
- Getting together and what that might look like for their life. Is their friend group surprised? Or something on them learning to be a couple together, finding out about each other's lives before they knew each other, visting each other's families, their lives post-canon, etc.
- First times of any kind! This can be anything from friendship to nsfw if you'd like to go there.
For more Ainosuke specific details, I would love to see a conflict between him being best friends with Tadashi and his father's expectations for him as the heir of the family, both in sexual and/or nonsexual ways. Maybe Aiichiro starts with Ainosuke first and then soon involves Tadashi or vice versa. Either way, for both Tadashi and Ainosuke, I would love to get something unsetting with Aiichiro's focus on them.
As an additional note, this doesn't have to be explicit at all or necessarily have to have a sad ending. I would equally love something that has a happy ending for Tadashi and Ainosuke, along with something that leaves the details up in the air, or focuses more on the aftermath of the relationship (including recovery)! I do ship Tadashi and Ainosuke so I would be happy to see that included in some way, but it can also just be friendship or left unclear on the nature of their relationship. I've combined prompts involving Tadashi on his own and involving Ainosuke, but please modify any prompts as you like to fit your ideas.
Request-specific DNWs/clarifications: I'm fine with Aiichiro dying (or being dead in an aftermath/flashback focus fic) for this request!
Prompts:
- Tadashi throws himself into harm's way when Aiichiro finds out that Ainosuke has been sneaking out to skate as a teenager. Or he uses himself as a distraction trying to protect Ainosuke in other situations.
- Aiichiro holds the loss of his job and never seeing Ainosuke again over Tadashi if he doesn't comply.
- Tadashi forgets himself and disobeys before being taught a lesson by Aiichiro.
- Ainosuke finds out about Tadashi's relationship with his father and gets jealous.
- Aiichiro makes a point of teaching Tadashi not to get ideas beyond his station and where his place really belongs in the household.
- Aiichiro treats Tadashi as property and humiliates him for his class status. Maybe this manifests as marks such as cigarette burns that Tadashi has to hide.
- Ainosuke is forced to have sex with Tadashi as punishment from his father.
- Tadashi learns to keep his true feelings deep inside when dealing with Aiichiro. Or, maybe he learns to rebel in petty ways, enough to avoid Aiichiro's notice.
- Aiichiro makes his move when Ainosuke leaves for America and Tadashi is truly isolated from any possible support.
- Ainosuke gets different lessons about love from his father.
- Ainosuke and Tadashi are regular friends until Aiichiro involves them both with him.
- Tadashi (and/or Ainosuke) eventually takes his revenge. Does he have one last conversation with Aiichiro?
- Tadashi learns how to hide the evidence of the relationship from his coworkers and everyone else.
- Tadashi lets Ainosuke think his relationship with Aiichiro is consensual or the marks and bruises are from something else.
- Ainosuke comforts him one night while not knowing the cause of the hurt.
- Eventually Ainosuke finds out about Tadashi's ordeal (post-canon?) and reacts.
- After Ainosuke and Tadashi get together, Tadashi has moments when he's reminded of Aiichiro.
- Ainosuke and Tadashi struggle to maintain their friendship after their experience with Aiichiro.
I fell in love with this ship by the end of the show. They have such an interesting tangle of issues with their emotionally fraught past together between the betrayal and their conflict about class differences. So many elements of their relationship is catnip to me. Any kind of digging into their weird and messed up dynamic would be great. I think they have plenty of potential for anything ranging from angst to fluff. From their childhood to adulthood, all of that sounds amazing. For sex, I'm fine with consensual to "this is a really bad idea" dubcon.
Prompts:
- Give me Adam and Tadashi skating together! Learning to skate, or skating as best friends, or skating together after years apart.
- Anything relating to Adam and Tadashi being offical, be it them getting married or announcing to their friends (or S) that they're together.
- I'd like a peak at their teenaged years! You can go as angsty as you like here and I'm fine with Adam or even Tadashi being abused by the rest of the family. What was it like for them to hide their relationship? Or did they continue to dance around each other back then?
- Anything post-canon! I'm very into the idea of them trying to make amends, even if it's in a nonlinear way. Does Tadashi get into skating at S? Do they deal with the aunts, including their ideas of marrying Adam off to a woman?
- Taking their feelings out on each other before they make up. Messed up and dysfunctional would be great! Ainosuke and Tadashi having emotionally intense sex when Ainosuke returns home (or leaves). Ainosuke having tons of weird feelings about Tadashi working for his father. Ainosuke going out skating with his new friends while Tadashi stays behind. Their many ways of refusing to let the other go even when they're at their lowest point. Etc.
I really enjoyed the backstory we got with all three of them being friends, their fallout, and the door being left open for a possible reconciliation! I've always loved the idea of the three of them having a relationship and would like to see more of that in any form. I'm also equally interested in sour/angsty takes on them that maybe focuses more on their falling out rather than coming together.
Prompts:
- Cherry and Joe expose Adam to new things like fast food and other things that Adam isn't allowed to do while living at home.
- How does their relationship happen anyway? I can see anything from Cherry hooking up with Adam with Joe being invited to Cherry and Joe asking out Adam or whatever else you might have in mind for how it happened!
- Joe and Cherry looking for Adam after their fallout.
- The three of them starting up their friendship again and more after the events of canon. Does it take time for it to happen? What do the rest of their friends think?
- Joe and Cherry running into Adam outside of Sk8. What sort of things end up happening there?
Cherry in particular seemed to hold such a candle for Adam being friends with him again and I'd like to see what their earlier relationship looked like or what their dynamic could look like in the future. Anything from angsty, to a little dark, to lighthearted would be good. I'm also open to jealousy from Joe and Tadashi respectively, but that's also completely optional.
Prompts:
- The early days of their relationship. Maybe they're having their first brush with love and getting into skating together or it's a casual fling that keeps going or or or. I'd like to see more of that!
- The last days of their relationship before Adam leaves.
- Cherry runs into Adam outside of Sk8.
- Getting back together (or getting together for the first time?) post canon.
For these requests in general, I love the fantasy world that Holly Black gives us in the books and would love to see anything relating to the dark fairy tale themes and the unsettling bits of worldbuilding that make it so dangerous to mortals if you're inclined.
Prompts:
- Jude comes back wrong after being killed by Locke.
- I loved the curse at the end of QoN and it would be fun to see the two of them dealing with more Fae curses. Does it have to do with them being tied to the land? Does one of them have to go to suprising lengths to save to other? Or maybe instead of it damaging them, it's damaging their people?
- Time loops! Do one or both of them get stuck in a loop for any point in canon? How do they end up getting out of it?
- Soulbonds feel like such a natural thing to add for this canon and I'd love to see how it happens with Jude and Cardan and how they feel about it once they figure out it can't easily be removed. Are there any side effects?
- Jumping off from soulbonds, what about soulmarks? Is it a mortal only thing, or does Cardan grow up with a soulmate mark, either knowing or is suprised realizing that Jude is his soulmate?
- Consider this my general prompt for Dain and Balekin to mess with Jude and Cardan. Maybe one of them uses Jude against Cardan, or they force them to do it, or they get their revenge in some other way somehow.
- Anything smutty to do with Jude and Cardan. Sex Pollen? Maybe they have to fuck or die for Reasons? Or, they're simply enjoying having sex together, take your pick! Any range of consent is fine.
Prompts:
- Locke going further and further with testing Taryn's limits. I'm okay with noncon here if you do want to go there.
- A look at Taryn's mindset when getting together with Locke in the first place and how she feels about their romance.
- I'm intrigued at what an AU where Locke lives might look like so throwing that out there.
- Taryn planning Locke's downfall.
I find this relationship to be a really interesting possibility! They're both great characters and I'd enjoy seeing them having some sort of relationship. I'm good with infidelity from outside their relationship!
Prompts:
- Taryn seeks out Nicasia for help regarding Locke. Maybe the hide the body, maybe to find out what to do with Locke, you decide.
- The two of them start an affair under Locke's nose.
- Taryn ventures to the undersea for some political reason and gets to know Nicasia in a new environment.
- Alternatively, Taryn takes Nicasia to the mortal world for whatever reason and things happen there.
Warning, Nona spoilers are below!
Request-specific DNWs/clarifications:
For solo John and the Assorted Lyctors requests only: You can ignore my gore/torture, poly, body mods, permanent character death, bleak hopeless endings, and serious bodily harm during sex DNWs!
For everything else, you can ignore my body mods DNW.
Prompts:
- I would really love to see anything about him resurrecting the world and his interactions with Alecto and his memory wiping of his friends. That's such a fascinating part of canon for me.
- His guilt and sadness after the events of HtN. Or just him banging a bunch of people as revealed in NtN as a character study!
- John being super creepy and weird towards his Lyctors including (or especially) moments where everything is seemingly above board but something is wrong.
- Absolutely anything about his pre-resurrection days. The fact that he has a cult, his streaming to the world, puppeting a world leader, hanging out with A-- and M--, and anything else that strikes your fancy.
- Memory fuckery. Consider this a blank check for anything even slightly relating to him screwing with people's memories.
- Show me his interactions with Gideon! There's so much we don't know about it and I'm really curious what their dynamic looks like.
- Following the above, I'd also be really interested in seeing his interactions with Inathe (or both?) post HtN.
John and his Lyctors were one of the things I adored in Harrow! I'm all over the idea of a man being God and his devoted followers that eventually go astray. I love the glimpses of the Lyctors' relationships with their cavaliers we see in Harrow and the sense of tragedy that hangs over how they achieved Lyctorhood. None of them are good people and they all spend such a long time together (thousands of years!) that I'd love to see the complete mess that is their codependency and all the deeply fucked up power dynamics that unfold. For the timeline, I'll gladly take anything (including canon divergent AUs). It's all fascinating to me.
I'm 100% fine with mixing and matching pairings even if they "conflict" with each other (such as Augustine/Mercymorn turning into Augustine/John as an example). I can buy that they've all slept with each other at one point or another (including unrequested ships). For blanket requests for all given pairings in this subsection, I'd love to see anything involving the canon sexy parties, necromancy magic (including Mercymorn screwing with bodies), the whole deal with calling each other "sister"/"brother", and messed up but sexy gore (including during sex)!
Other letters that might be of interest (100% optional): Chocolate Box 2022 | Smut 4 Smut 2022
Augustine the First/John Gaius: These two have such a fucked up relationship and I’m completely here for it. Please give me more on Augustine being sure he’s John’s favorite or the fact that John remembers Augustine from pre-ressurection days, the whole deal of a God and his disciple turned traitor. The entire concept of them having such a tangled relationship of devotion and eventual betrayal is wonderful to me and I’d like to see more of that in any form (including dub/noncon or consensual smut)!
Prompts:
- Anything at all about how they were like pre-ressurection! John being able to do increasingly weird things and A-- being along for the ride and things spiraling for everyone really fast.
- John lies to Augustine about the things he knows about him from pre-ressurection days. Augustine doesn’t look too closely at any contradictions that pop up. Or maybe he has moments of memory pop up because Reasons and John makes him forget again.
- Augustine decides to swear his loyalty to an angry John post the big betrayal reveal.
- The early happier days of John and Augustine post-ressurection. And the moments that strike a wrong note.
- John feeling guilty but aroused when Augstine is badly hurt (either by other forces or by him).
Augustine the First/John Gaius/Mercymorn the First: I’ve been in love with this trio ever since I read Harrow for the first time and Nona only increased my feelings for them. I was equally shocked and thrilled when the plan to distract John in Harrow ended up being Augustine and Mercymorn teaming up to make out with him! They’re all terrible people and yet Mercymorn and Augustine managed to team up to go behind John’s back. I’d love anything that explores their tangled relationship between all three of them, from Augustine and Mercymorn having moments of still loving John, to John not realizing that his Lyctors are scheming to kill him, to Augustine and Mercymorn figuring out a plan (however grudgingly). Anything with these three would be wonderful, including dub/noncon and consensual smut if you’re inclined!
Prompts:
- Anything at all about their general dynamic in Nona. Being in the compound, John gradually losing it, M-- and A-- finding that they agree with each other, how they held hands...
- Augustine and Mercy somehow regain their memories (because of the River?) and John attempts to contain the fallout. Or maybe Augustine and Mercymorn getting strong moments of deja vu at random times and John handwaving it away for them. Memory fuckery in general as horror or as a point of angst highly welcomed!
- Anything involving dios apate (major or minor). And beyond!
- For something darker, maybe John once "jokingly" forced them to get along by making them Augustine and Mercy have sex together.
- Something where Augustine and Mercy mutually admit to being attracted to John and John overhears and things go from there.
- Did John ever suspect that something was going on between Mercymorn and Augustine?
- The early days at Caanan House together.
Augustine the First/Mercymorn the First: This gut-punch of a quote from them got me good: "Oh, we’ll still hate each other, my dear, we have hated each other too long and too passionately to stop…but my bones will rest easy next to your bones." They're such a tangled mess of hatred and scheming over several thousand years and I'd love to see more of that on display. I also loved that their dynamic was basically the same in the Nona flashbacks. Anything would be great, including dub/noncon and consensual smut if you’re inclined!
Prompts:
- Anything involving their days together pre-resurrection. Dealing with cultists as scientists, having random hook ups to take their frustration out on each other, how they ended up meeting, working together, etc.
- Following the above, anything that compares (contrasts?) their pre-resurrection life with their lives as Lyctors. Or maybe they have a strong moment of deja vu but handwave it away...
- Show me the various times they lashed out at each other either in petty ways or in ways that would've ended in murder if they weren't Lyctors or maybe it was very rough hate sex. Or, what about the times they managed to grudgingly agree to a truce?
- Working out their feelings about their cavaliers being dead. Maybe they have angsty hate sex or they end up distracting each other in other ways!
- All the canon divergent AUs. Maybe the world doesn't end when they kill John and they have to keep living, or they do end up getting to witness the end of it all together, or a still alive Augustine is haunted by Mercy, or maybe they find each other in the River post-Harrow. Go wild!
- All the times they had very rough hate sex with each other. (And maybe the times they had moments of fondess for each other).
Alfred Quinque/Augustine the First: I first latched onto the idea of this ship when Augustine didn’t directly deny the idea of his cavalier being his lover when Harrow asked. I find the concept of Augustine having a incestous relationship with his brother interesting and would be into just about anything with them (including dub/noncon or consentual smut)! We never get to see Alfred alive in Harrow, but he’s very much so on Augustine’s mind and I’d love to see more exploration of their relationship from when they first joined John to the aftermath of Augustine mourning his brother. I was really happy to get a crumb of information about Alfred in Nona and would love anything involving their pre-ressurection days. I gave a few general prompts, but please write whatever you see fit, I’d be happy with anything!
Prompts:
- (Post-Harrow) Augustine finds Alfred in the River.
- Something exploring Augustine being miserable without his brother. Maybe he has dreams of him which may or may not be real for Reasons?
- The early days of them being a necromancer and cavalier team.
- Augstine missing the signs of Alfred's plans. All the angsty foreshadowing here is welcomed!
- Anything of how they were pre-ressurection. How did A-- get his brother to come along anyway?
Augustine the First/John Gaius/Alfred Quinque: Basically please feel free to take any thoughts and prompts from above and throw them into a blender to best suit you! I'd love anything along the lines of exploring how John sees Augustine and his brother or vice versa for the the brothers. Anything with these three would be wonderful, including dub/noncon and consensual smut if you’re inclined.
Prompts:
- John feels the slightest bit of guilt when Alfred dies to make Augustine a Lyctor.
- John tests the brothers' loyalty to him in various ways.
- The early days at Caanan House together.
Prompts:
- Something about their time at the Sixth before the events of canon. Maybe another adventure similar to Doctor Sex? Or maybe a casual moment of their lives together (taking tests, writing to Dulcinea, etc.)?
- Cam and Pal manage to find another body and achive perfect lyctorhood.
- The time of Cam carrying around Pal's bones, not knowing for certain if he's still in there. Or, alteratively, the time of Pal being in his bubble and thinking about Cam.
- Sex pollen forces them together! Or maybe Cytherea makes them do it? Whatever the method, maybe it makes them realize certain thing about each other.
Prompts:
- Living on the Third. Throwing parties, sleeping around, having a relationship, etc.
- Following with the above, I really like the thought of them dating other people in attempt to make the other jealous or telling each other about people they find hot and it gets weird. Maybe they tell each other about the things they did while sleeping with the other person, or random people start mysteriously being killed off, anything along those lines.
- Inathe experimenting with her necromancy (either on herself or Corona or both) and it goes into a sexual direction.
- Please give me anything that expands on their moments in NtN! Corona demanding Ianthe's attention in increasingly disturbing ways pre-canon, their suspious noises over radio, fussing over random things while meeting each other for the first time in a long while, being mistaken for dating, etc.
- This is completely 100% optional but I would really like to see Ianthe and Augustine taking about their siblings and parallels (or not) with that.
- Ianthe being forced to eat Corona (Corona forcing her hand or dying unexpectedly?) and becoming a Lyctor.
Prompts:
- I'd love to see any of the canon AUs expanded on with them. Or maybe something where our Harrow and Gideon meet AU versions of themselves (where they could be already dating or not)?
- An AU where they grow older without GtN happening and Gideon gets called back to help Harrow for reasons. Or maybe she grows into becoming Harrow's cavalier regardless. I'd love to see an all roads lead to Rome sort of deal!
- Gideon being sad about Harrow. Or vice versa.
- Sex pollen or someone makes them do it!
- Anything about their childhood being two lonely kids that hate each other.
Prompts:
- HtN AU where Harrow does decide to reach for Ianthe in a dark universe.
- More bed sharing during the events of HtN. Or maybe they start sleeping with each other. With or without more of Ianthe's gaslighting.
- AU where GtN never happens and Harrow must vist Ida for an alliance and things go from there. Or maybe Ianthe ends up on the Ninth for similar reasons.
- Anything featuring their necromancy. Both for romantic reasons or sexual reasons.
Prompts:
- Something about her backstory. What about when she first arrives at the covenant? Her early interactions with Marguerite? Thinking about her terrible time being possessed (or flashbacks to it)?
- Artemisia interacting with the revenant! Either during canon or post canon. I loved their interactions.
- Artemisia getting along with the older nuns.
- Artemisia traveling the world post canon. What sights does she see?
Prompts:
- AU: Early on, Leander takes her to Bonsaint. How does that play out?
- They interact for just a little longer than they do in their brief meetings in canon. What would happen if Artemisia figured out that he was basically on her side the whole time eariler?
- Leander's dreams of her. That is all.
- Meeting again post-canon. Maybe Leander finds out important information and or Artemisia needs him again for an adventure.
