Rare Pair Exchange 2023
Hi, thanks for signing up (or volunteering to be a pinch hitter)! I've been looking forward to this exchange and I'm super excited to get anything for my ships here!
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. All my requests are for fic, but I am open to both fic and art treats for any request. 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
- Feel free to use anything from my above likes as well if my art prompts or general art likes are not helpful.
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
- 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. I'm also fine with characters sleeping with other people as long as their relationship hasn't been defined yet as being interested in dating. I don't consider noncon to break either of these DNWs.)
- 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 (Violence of the manhandling/action movie level is fine.)
- As a rule of thumb, I'm looking for injuries to give the requested characters cosmetic scars or lose a minor internal organ at worst.
- Bleak hopeless endings (I don't need a conventional happy ending where everything works out great, but I would like to see even a glimmer of hope for something good to happen in a dark ending rather than it being bad forever and there's no other possibility on the table.)
- 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.)
- First person/second person (Exception for epistolary, documents, etc. as long as it's not the whole fic.)
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.)
- Sexual content for characters 13 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.
(As a note, I use Coryo for the sake of easier typing, but please do use whichever name that fits the narrative the best.)
Request-specific DNWs/clarifications:
- DNW Exception: For my Lucy Gray specific requests, you can ignore my pregnancy DNW. I don't want fic that revolves around raising children, but anything from breeding kink that's left up in the air on if it takes, to confirmed pregnancy, to the baby being shown as a newborn or young child is fine.
- DNW Exception: I'm fine with permanent character death, except involving Coryo (temporary character death is fine, but I don't want it permanent).
- DNW Exception: Noncon (and dubcon, of course) for any request in this section is welcomed if you want to go there.
- DNW Exception: Canon typical violence is fine! As a rule of thumb, as long as the requested characters' injuries can be healed by advanced technology and they don't experience non-canon limb loss, you can do what you want.
Why I requested it: These two fascinate me on so many different levels!! I love how doomed their relationship is in canon while at the same time they have fleeting moments of happiness before it comes crashing down. The what-if of different choices that could’ve been made lingers and it clearly leaves its mark on the both of them after everything that happens.
What draws me to them the most is how much falling in love unbalances Coryo’s sense of control while at the same time he’s obsessed with someone who embraces freedom. On Lucy Gray’s side, I love how much is left in the air as to what their relationship really was to Lucy Gray. We don’t receive an explicit answer as to how much was it pure manipulation for the sake of survival and how much of it was genuine feelings from the start, but I most favor the idea that the answer lies somewhere in the middle ("I love all kinds of things I don’t trust. Thunderstorms . . . white liquor . . . snakes."). There’s a lot of interesting gray area for them and I’d love to see that explored.
For what I like about Coryo, I’m interested in how he’s such a paranoid and possessive person with a lot of glaring flaws, but even so, there's the possibility that he could've made better choices in his life. For what I like about Lucy Gray, I see her as someone who tries to see the good in others but also knows how to survive and use tricks to do so. Both of them are performers and I loved the parallel drawn with both of them being called victors. I'd love to see anything from them having a more positive connection to them hating each other but having feelings despite it all to anything between.
How it happens is really up to you and I'm happy to mix and match with my prompts! Consider me opting into smut if you want to go there.
Other letters that might be of interest (100% optional): Nonconathon 2023 (This is focused around noncon but if you see a prompt/freeform you want to take into a dubcon or even consensual direction instead then go for it!)
Prompts:
-
The cheating is never discovered and Lucy Gray stays in the Capitol. They get married and Coryo becomes President, with Lucy Gray becoming the First Lady.
-
Maybe Coryo does listen to Lucy Gray. (Either consciously doing so or because she’s manipulating him.)
-
Maybe the more vocal critics of his wife ~mysteriously~ disappear.
-
-
Lucy Gray misses District 12 but Coryo is unwilling to let her go.
-
Lucy Gray becomes disillusioned with Coryo when it's clear he's not making the political changes she was hoping for or is lying to her about it.
-
Or, Coryo finds out that she has been influencing his allies into changing their mind/agreeing to different terms behind his back.
-
The cheating is never discovered and Lucy Gray and Coryo are sent off on the very first Victory tour instead.
Lucy Gray and Coryo do manage to run away for real. Do they reach District 13 or make a life in the woods somehow?
Lucy Gray is found alive somewhere in Panem (Living in a small community in the wild? Captured with several other rebels causing trouble? Something else?) and a newly appointed President Snow demands to see her.
Coryo and Lucy Gray have a more direct confrontation as their romance falls apart.
Lucy Gray haunting Coryo post canon (metaphorically or literally). Would love to see horror vibes for this!
-
Or, maybe Coryo thinks he has Lucy Gray again but he soon finds out that she came back wrong.
Coryo isn’t allowed to leave the arena and must fight to survive with Lucy Gray.
Consider this a blank check to write whatever smutty idea that appeals to you! Maybe they have romantic first time sex, or angry hate sex, or sex is used as a manipulation tool, or the idea of having an child is brought up, or something makes them do it, etc.
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 both looping and have to work together to get out, or anything else that comes to mind.

Why I requested it: What draws me to this poly ship is the fact that I love all three of the characters and I think there’s a ton of (however messy) potential for them to have a lot of interesting interactions when all three of them are thrown together in a situation!
I see Sejanus and Lucy Gray clicking fairly well when it comes to matters of rebellion and the fact they're both District! They both have a strong connection to Coryo in the story with Sejanus considering himself his best friend and Lucy Gray having an ill fated romance with Coryo. On Coryo’s end, I can see him coming to consider both of them as “his” and deciding he will have both of them. I’m really interested in seeing how things would develop if certain events happen and they end up getting together, be it established Coryo/Lucy Gray letting Sejanus join or something else. For the longer term, I’d love to see the more personal emotions between the three of them be it them managing to work something out or things falling apart because of lack of trust, paranoia, etc.
Anything from first get-together to a longer term relationship would be amazing, including an angsty falling out to happy endings. Consider me opting into smut if you want to go there. Also, please feel free to use and mix together prompts from related ship sections (such as adding Lucy Gray to a Coryo/Sejanus idea and so on) if you want to go there!
Prompts:
-
Lucy Gray, Sejanus, and Coryo all run off into the woods together.
-
Lucy Gray has a better chance to talk to Sejanus when they’re all together in District 12.
-
Sejanus, Coryo, and Lucy Gray all stay in the Capitol after the events of the games. (Maybe Sejanus’ father manages to pull strings to have Sejanus escape being a Peacekeeper?)
-
Coryo becomes president anyway.
-
Maybe things do actually change for the better or things become fractured between the three of them?
-
Would love something where Lucy Gray and Sejanus keep up a relationship with Coryo all while secretly supporting the rebel effort (with or without Coryo becoming increasingly suspicious) and feeling a lot of conflicted emotions about that. Or, going very AU, maybe a rebellion does succeed and Coryo is captured while Sejanus and Lucy Gray vist him...
-
An assassination attempt on Coryo is made. Sejanus and Lucy Gray stop it at the last minute and/or secretly gave information to have it happen.
-
-
Coryo doesn’t become president. What do their lives look like together?
-
-
Sejanus and Lucy Gray haunt Coryo after the events of canon (metaphorically or literally). Would love horror vibes for this!
-
Sejanus and Lucy Gray run off together when they realize that Coryo is not who he seems. They get captured at some point and a newly appointed President Snow demands to see them.
-
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.

Why I requested it: I really love how interestingly layered this relationship is! What immediately grabbed my attention with them was Sejanus being from a well off family while still being seen as an outsider to the Capitol due to originally being from District 2 while Coryo is born Capitol even while he pretends that his family still retains its wealth to keep the status of his family reputation. They’ve known each other for such a long time, too! That long term exposure to each other is really appealing to me.
For the relationship itself, I found it interesting how Coryo is very disdainful of Sejanus in his thoughts and yet they've managed to interact enough that Sejanus considers him a best friend. What also got me was how happy Coryo was to see Sejanus when he thought all hope was lost. Sejanus on his end is very friendly towards Coryo and is awfully trusting of him even when that ends up being his downfall. I found it really easy to imagine that Sejanus had something of a crush on Coryo even if he supported Coryo being happy with Lucy Gray (“Gorgeous. Trust me, that lip’s working for you, soldier.”). They could go into so many directions and I’d be into anything from angst to something happier between them.
As far as timeline goes, I'm happy for anything pre-canon, to something during canon, to something post-canon. Regarding Lucy Gray, I'm fine with her and Coryo's relationship not working out or not being rekindled after the games and stretching out the timeline a bit to give Coryo and Sejanus more one on one interaction while they're Peacekeepers. Consider me opting into smut if you want to go there.
How it happens is really up to you and I'm happy to mix and match with my prompts!
Prompts:
-
Coryo changes his mind about the jabberjay.
-
Or, Coryo thinks he’s getting a confession about being rebellious from Sejanus and gets a romantic confession instead.
-
-
Sejanus and Coryo sharing a moment together at school or as Peacekeepers.
-
Maybe there’s been times Sejanus helped Coryo out more than he knew?
-
Maybe one or both of them get a little too drunk as Peacekeepers.
-
-
Sejanus figures out that Coryo isn’t what he seems. What happens next?
-
Tigris gets injured and is put temporarily out of work. A panicked Coryo decides to swallow his pride and starts a relationship with Sejanus to try and get money from him to cover the bills.
-
Maybe it turns into a longer term thing as Coryo realizes he can consistently get money (and maybe he develops feelings along the way)?
-
What happens when Sejanus realizes the reason for Coryo’s sudden interest?
-
-
Something a bit darker where Coryo takes out his resentment on Sejanus somehow.
-
Sejanus figuring out Coryo's financial situation in general. How does that change things between them?
-
The planned escape happens before Sejanus gets caught as a traitor. Coryo ends up getting unwillingly mixed up in the events and Sejanus insists on taking him with instead of letting him be shot when he runs into the other rebels.
-
Coryo gets stuck in the arena and Sejanus does everything he can to make sure Coryo lives.
-
Sejanus seems like he’s getting very close with another classmate or other Peacekeeper. Coryo finds this unacceptable and decides to stake a claim on him.
-
Consider this a blank check to write whatever smutty idea that appeals to you! Maybe they awkwardly experiemented with each other as schoolboys, sweet first time sex post getting together, emotionally fraught sex, Coryo takes out his anger at Sejanus when they have sex, etc.
-
Sejanus haunts Coryo after the events of canon (metaphorically or literally). Would love horror vibes for this!
-
Coryo manages to sway Sejanus out of joining up with the rebels and they both go back to the Capitol together when Sejanus' father pulls some strings.
-
Maybe Sejanus ends up being his right hand man when Coryo becomes president for better or worse?
-
-
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 both looping and have to work together to get out, or anything else that comes to mind.

Why I requested it: I was not expecting this relationship going into the book but it’s grabbed me hard! Gaul’s relationship with Coryo has such a profound impact throughout the story and you can practically track his moral descent by how he thinks of her going from fear/hatred to grudging agreement to embracing her as a mentor in his life. Even while Coryo manipulates others, Gaul keeps a clear hold on him and nudges Coryo down a path that he doesn’t come back from. The scene where Gaul welcomes him back from his summer “vacation” was so wonderfully unsettling. In short, I am very here for all the weird evil mentoring (with maybe vague parental vibes) going on between them!
Have Coryo hate her but having to put up with her weird interactions with him or he’s somewhere in-between hating her and under her sway in their relationship, or maybe he admires her. I’m happy for anything from during the main events of the book, something of them post the main events of the story, or after the epilogue when Coryo is about to become president or his early days of being president. I’m opting into smut if you’d like to go there.
How it happens is really up to you and I'm happy to mix and match with my prompts!
Prompts:
-
Gaul offers Coryo the chance to explain himself with tricking the snakes to not harm Lucy Gray instead of going directly to Highbottom about it.
-
The two of them working together on the games.
-
Maybe he tries to impress her with a creative idea?
-
They get into another philosophical conversation.
-
Gaul brings up ideas that are particularly unpleasant for tributes.
-
-
Gaul being creepy towards Coryo in general, whether he likes it or not.
-
Something with her mentoring him in politics or for the games or just more misanthropic life lessons.
-
How do they start a relationship (however you want to define relationship), anyway? I’d like to see who makes that move, how they treat it – I could see it being something where it’s basically mentorship with benefits or there’s some extremely twisted “I created you / You helped make me who I am” feelings going on somewhere in their interactions or something else I haven’t thought of.
-
How does their relationship change once Coryo’s president (if it changes at all)?

General thoughts: For what I like about this canon, I really enjoy the dystopia elements of people from poor districts having to fight to the death while the Capitol thinks it’s a great time. I’m also a very big fan of wondering what happens after to the victors that do survive their games and how they learn to live between their district vs the Capitol in various ways which is an element I’d love to see for any character requested. As a general note, I have a preference for book based descriptions and sequence of events.
For all of my requests, I’m down with stretching out the canon timeline a bit so the rebellion takes a few more years to get going, or it never happens, or it happens but in a way that doesn’t involve district 13 if you want to explore more of the victor characters dealing with the Capitol, but want more space to do so given the timeline for whatever reason.
Request-specific DNWs/clarifications:
-
DNW: Finnick/Annie and Katniss/Peeta being endgame in the requests where Finnick and Katniss are explicitly being paired with someone else in their respective pairings. I’m fine with Finnick/Annie or Katniss/Peeta being a relationship that doesn’t work out during the course of the fic (or before the start of the fic) or it simply never happened, or even that Annie or Peeta didn’t survive their games. Of course, for all other requests, I’m fine with their canon ships being a side thing.
-
DNW: Clients (including in my Finnick/OMC request) buying Finnick for the purpose of having sex portrayed as romantic. Having it happen as a general bad time for Finnick is fine. (I'm also fine with clients assuming that it's romantic on their end as long as Finick's internal thoughts don't agree.)
- DNW Exception: Canon typical violence is fine! As a rule of thumb, as long as the requested characters' injuries can be healed by advanced technology and they don't experience non-canon limb loss, you can do what you want.
Why I requested it: I’m really intrigued by Finnick falling in love with an original male character since there’s so many different ways to take it. Is it a positive relationship for Finnick and/or the OMC? (I’m fine with going dark if that’s where you want to go!) Is it casual or something more serious between them? Is the OMC from the Capitol or one of the districts, 4 or somewhere else?
I don’t have many strong preferences for the OMC so I’m happy for you to have fun with where they come from, their personality, how they look, etc. (but you can see some of my general dynamics likes here for inspiration if you’d like!). I also like when there’s a bit of an age difference, anywhere between five to twenty-ish years of difference but it’s up to you how that shakes out if you want to use the age gap idea.
I’m fine with smut, including smut where one or both are underage (as long as they’re both at least 14), along with dubcon smut. Dubcon such as clients and/or Snow making them do it, bad idea sex, etc. is entirely fair game! Noncon is also fine in cases where OMC is meant to be a bad guy/toxic love interest for Finnick such as OMC buying him for sex.
I don’t want Finnick/Annie to be endgame but having it a thing that eventually ends or never happens because reasons is fine!
Prompts:
-
Finnick and OMC know each other from 4. Maybe OMC was a victor when Finnick entered his games, or they were childhood best friends, or were competing against each other while training to be Careers...
-
OMC clashes hard with Finnick when they’re both victors and Finnick refuses to let it go.
-
OMC as a victor gets to know Finnick (from 4 or elsewhere) over the years and they strike up a strong friendship that starts to turn into something else.
-
OMC is a Capitol citizen assigned to showing Finnick around in the early years of his victory. It becomes more than just a one-off thing.
-
Or, OMC is shipped off to do a job at 4 as a punishment and Finnick is asked to show him around the district. Or, OMC is a visiting victor from a different district and the same thing happens.
-
Or, they end up meeting because of the OMC taking a vacation of some kind at 4 (maybe OMC is a secret rebel?).
-
-
OMC is sold the same as Finnick. Sometimes they share a client (or clients?), are made to have sex with each other, and/or end up bonding over their unpleasant experiences.
-
The two of them dealing with the Hunger Games as mentors each year. What they each do to get sponsors for their tributes, trying (and maybe failing) to make each other feel better about losing a tribute that year, making ill-advised bets, using dark humor (that works or just makes one or both of them feel worse), trying to distract each other using sex, etc.
-
OMC and Finnick are asked to fake date for ratings. It turns out there’s a real spark there.
-
Or, they keep running into each other promoting the Hunger Games or other Capitol related events. They show up in ads, live near each other in the Capitol, or they meet each other in passing while modeling, or they run across each other while at a party (maybe with one or both of them each on the arms of a client).
-
Maybe one of their promotions is having to do a gameshow that recreates a harmless Hunger Games.
-
-
OMC is a gamesmaker, arena designer, or another important person involved with Finnick’s games. Finnick has feelings about this and wants to lash out.
-
Alternatively, maybe he ends up having inconvenient feelings and that throws a wrench into his original plans.
-
Maybe OMC finds out about Finnick’s plans before he can go through it? Or, maybe he doesn’t?
-
-
OMC is an ally of Snow’s and Finnick gets sent to him as a reward.
-
OMC is an enemy of Snow’s and Finnick gets sent to him to find out his secrets for Snow.
-
Finnick’s first time (with a guy or in general) is with the OMC. Maybe the OMC is Finnick’s first buyer, maybe the OMC offers to sleep with Finnick as an alternative to Finnick being forced to sleep with his first client soon, maybe they have their first time just because, etc.
-
OMC buys Finnick, but with the intention of passing on rebel information instead of having sex and/or everyone thinks they’re having sex when it’s only a cover. But maybe sex eventually happens between them…
-
For something darker, OMC buys Finnick for sex. Maybe OMC is obsessed with Finnick, sees him as a trophy, passes him around with friends, etc. Maybe it’s a multiple repeat (and potentially escalating) thing?

Why I requested it: I really love this rarepair! In a lot of ways, I sort of see them as two sides of a coin. Haymitch is shunned as a victor, lives in an especially poor district, is largely ignored by the Capitol, and lost his entire family. Finnick, meanwhile, has a living family he wants to protect (be it Mags and/or others), lives in a Career district, and is in the spotlight of the Capitol’s attention. I think they could learn a lot of things from each other.
Mostly, I really want to see what comes of throwing them together and how their relationship goes from there. While we don’t get much on them on-screen, I think it’s safe to say they’ve interacted in passing over several years as victors and I’d love any expanding on that. Anything would be good, including smut and dubcon of the “bad guys made them do it” or “this is bad idea sex but we’re having it anyway” variety. I’m fine with Haymitch’s drinking addiction being relevant throughout but I’d rather not have Finnick knowingly take advantage of him while drunk (both being drunk/tipsy while having sex is fine!).
I don’t want Finnick/Annie to be endgame but having it a thing that eventually ends or never happens because reasons is fine!
Prompts:
-
After a particularly disastrous loss of both their tributes, they go drinking together. (Maybe their tributes had an alliance going on and died protecting each other, or something along those lines?)
-
Finnick as a teen tries to guilt Haymitch into sleeping with him before he has to see his first client on the reasoning that they’re not close friends (all the easier to keep it from others) but he trusts Haymitch to make it decent.
-
Haymitch turns him down flat but it lingers between them over the years.
-
Haymitch is just tipsy or otherwise feeling sorry enough for Finnick that he gives in.
-
-
Haymitch and Finnick are asked (read: forced) to show up at an annual Victors’ party celebration at the Capitol. They run into each other.
-
The two of them dealing with the Hunger Games as mentors each year. What they each do to get sponsors for their tributes, trying (and maybe failing) to make each other feel better about losing a tribute that year, making ill-advised bets, using dark humor (that works or just makes one or both of them feel worse), trying to distract each other using sex, etc.
-
Catching Fire AU: Haymitch ends up in the Quarter Quell instead of Peeta.
-
Catching Fire AU: The rescue never happens and Finnick wins the Quarter Quell for better or worse. Haymitch is one of the last few victors still standing. They make plans for a rebellion later on and/or are miserable together.
-
Haymitch tries to make trouble for the clients that have Finnick.
-
Finnick gets assigned to help Haymitch try and produce a winning tribute.
-
Finnick gets shipped off to 12 as a punishment.
-
Does Finnick try to help Haymitch recover from his alcoholism?
-
Does Finnick try to start up a Career training camp for the people of 12?
-
-
Mockingjay AU: Finnick survives and visits Haymitch now that they can freely travel between (former) districts.
-
Catching Fire AU: The rules of the Quarter Quell turn out differently, rebellion doesn’t happen, and Haymitch has to deal with the Capitol taking a renewed interest in him after the buzz of him finally bringing home two tributes at once and an incoming wedding. Finnick helps him out and/or Haymitch asks Finnick how to deal with it.
-
They keep running into each other promoting the Hunger Games or other Capitol related events. Maybe one of their promotions is having to do a gameshow that recreates a harmless Hunger Games.
-
-
Finnick asks Haymitch for advice on how he can make himself more unappealing to clients without giving it away to Snow.
-
Snow gets it into his head he should make Finnick and Haymitch have sex as punishment. (Maybe he finds out about Haymitch trying to help Finnick get rid of his clients?)
-
Sex pollen! Drinks are spiked at a party, or it’s an arena thing, or it just happens somehow.
-
Time Loop: Haymitch (and/or Finnick) wakes up at any point in the canon and suddenly has tons of knowledge from a future point and can save loved ones, kickstart a full-fledged rebellion even earlier, etc. and gets closer to Finnick/Haymitch in the process. Or, on a darker note, it’s a time loop that starts falling apart the more they loop, or it keeps getting worse no matter how hard they try to fix things, etc.
↑return to start↑ | ↑return to request↑
Why I requested it: I find these two to have such a compelling dynamic in canon and I can't help but be interested in wondering what could happen if they took things further. Haymitch and Katniss strike me as being very similar, even if they don't particularly like how much they recognize certain traits in each other. Still, they have similar backgrounds and have established such a clear connection after all the time they've spent rebelling against the Capitol together. I loved Katniss getting to watch Haymitch’s games and gaining more insight into him and I loved Haymitch voting the same as Katniss in Mockingjay because he guessed that she had a plan in place.
I’d like to see Haymitch eventually realizing that he’s grown attached to Katniss more than just in a platonic sense and Katniss realizing she has feelings for Haymitch. It’s unexpected and maybe not the happiest relationship with all of their respective issues, but I think it could really work. Or, they remind each other too much of themselves and that causes a fair amount of friction when they get together, that could also be pretty interesting!
I don’t want Katniss/Peeta to be endgame but having it a thing that eventually ends or never happens because reasons is fine!
Prompts:
-
Rebellion never happens and the two of them go on with Haymitch teaching Katniss to be a mentor, how to deal with the Capitol’s demands as a shiny new victor, or maybe they start their own rebellion without the help of 13.
-
Catching Fire AU: The rules of the Quarter Quell turn out differently, and Haymitch has to teach Katniss how to be a mentor and get her on board with the rebellion. (Peeta still being alive or having died in the last games is good either way!)
-
If Peeta is alive, maybe Katniss has to struggle with keeping up the pretense that she loves Peeta to the audience while having growing feelings for Haymitch.
-
If Peeta is dead, maybe Katniss is still struggling with the grief/guilt of his death and latches onto Haymitch and finds something new between them.
-
-
Haymitch and Katniss are asked (read: forced) to show up at an annual Victors’ party celebration at the Capitol.
-
Snow gets it into his head he should make Katniss and Haymitch have sex as punishment.
-
Haymitch teaches Katniss how to scare off potential clients once the possibility is raised of her being sold.
-
Catching Fire AU: Haymitch ends up in the Quarter Quell arena instead of Peeta.
-
Catching Fire AU: The rules of the Quarter Quell turn out differently, rebellion doesn’t happen, and Haymitch and Katniss have to deal with the Capitol taking a renewed interest in both.
-
If the wedding or fake romance with Peeta in general is still on, maybe they get thrown together in occasional interviews and Katniss finds herself trying to balance feelings for Haymitch and trying to keep up the romance charade with Peeta.
-
They keep being paired together promoting the Hunger Games or other Capitol related events. Maybe one of their promotions is having to do a gameshow that recreates a harmless Hunger Games.
-
-
The two of them dealing with the Hunger Games as mentors each year. What they each do to get sponsors for their tributes, trying (and maybe failing) to make each other feel better about losing tributes that year, making ill-advised bets, using dark humor (that works or just makes one or both of them feel worse), trying to distract each other using sex, etc.
-
They go drinking together. Maybe they just lost their tributes, or Katniss just wants a drinking buddy after canon events get to her, and things happen from there!
-
Post-canon: Katniss grows apart from Peeta and hangs out a lot with Haymitch and they both go through an adjustment period learning to live in the new world they’ve helped create.
-
Sex pollen! Drinks are spiked at a party, or it’s an arena thing, or it just happens somehow.

General thoughts: As a note, please feel free to mix and match my prompts for this fandom If you see an idea in, say, the Alex/Daniel section that you want to apply to Alex/Grace/Daniel, go for it! 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 consensual 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 permanent character death involving Grace for a Alex/Daniel fic.
Why I requested it: 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 drunken 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 secrecy 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, alternatively, 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 pursuer 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.
-
They have some kind of magical connection together. 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.
↑return to start↑ | ↑return to request↑
Why I requested it: I find the Alex/Daniel/Grace trio to be super fascinating and would love anything about them! I love the potential of Grace being the outsider wanting to be accepted, Daniel being the semi-decent black sheep member of the family, and Alex being the supposed turncoat that accepts his family in the end. There's tons of different ways I'd love to see it play out from sticking relatively close to canon or going off on a canon divergent path. 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 an incestuous 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 official 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.

Why I requested it: These two are insane about each other and I feel so many emotions about that! The ending scene of the movie was perfect and said so much about their relationship. They're super dysfunctional from Fletcher giving Neiman a hard time always to Neiman being extremely determined to prove that he’s worth Fletcher’s attention and I’m all over that. Fletcher is Neiman's everything! Neiman is Fetcher's only Charlie Parker! They hate each other and yet still can’t escape each other’s orbit. It's so messed up and I'd love to see more of how messed up and tangled up with each other they are.
I’d be happy with just about anything for them. I’m also opting into smut, including dub/noncon if you want to go there. Most of my thoughts naturally lean towards post-canon but I'd be just as happy to get something that takes place somewhere before the final scene of the movie.

Anything post canon! When do they start a relationship? How they navigate Neiman gaining fame as a musician? (It would be fun to see them traveling and dealing with fans, whatever that might entail!) What happens immediately after the movie, a year, ten years down the line?
-
AU: They start a sexual relationship while Neiman is still at Shaffer. Does it change anything? Nothing? Something in-between?
-
AU: Neiman makes it in time to play instead of getting into that car accident.
-
Maybe the two of them split ways for a while (Maybe Neiman tries to strike out on his own) and find themselves coming back together again.
-
Time loops! I think it would great fun to have them both looping and they might drive each other up the wall.
-
I'd love to see Neiman losing his shit and giving Fletcher back talk while refusing to submit after a particularly nasty argument with Fletcher. I see this pairing great with a time loop. Or, just in general, an exploration of their relationship evolving with Neiman having a little more confidence to call out Fletcher on his shit in the vein of their last scene together in the movie would be wonderful.
-
Anything involving outsider fic, be it fans gossiping about what their relationship is like to fellow musicians being uncomfortable about how they look at each other while practicing, or maybe it’s even Neiman’s father looking at their relationship from the outside.
-
Jumping off of that, something where outsiders are uncomfortable or otherwise not understanding their dynamic and Fletcher/Neiman not caring.
-
-
Neiman temporarily wakes up in a world where he never met Fletcher. He has Feelings about this.
-
Fletcher and Neiman having screaming matches and generally playing mind games with each other about jazz related things or just in general. (Thinking mostly of Fletcher but Neiman can definitely do this too!)
-
Neiman temporarily can’t play due to a hand injury and they’re both miserable about it until something boils over.
Request-specific DNWs/clarifications:
-
DNW Exception: To clarify my serious bodily harm in sex DNW, I'd prefer there's no broken bones or anything long-lasting, but anything from bodily bruising to causing bleeding (including anal related) feels fair game for these two.
