Trick Or Treat 2017
Sep. 12th, 2017 06:10 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
murderershairI talk too much! Mostly out of sheer enthusiasm, and not always in exactly even proportion but please don't worry. I've thrown out a bunch of prompts for each character in each fandom but if none of them speak to you, provided you're not specifically using something I mentioned as a squick/DNW for that fandom, make whatever you want. These are all tiny to small fandoms that don't see tons of fic, so I'm honestly thrilled that you're considering working on a little trick or treat for any one of them.
Blanket DNWs that are a bit more relevant to some fandoms than others: terminal illness, non-canonical major character death, pregnancy, kidfic, total paralysis/I have no mouth but I must scream kind of scenarios, amputation/permanent disfigurement, ageplay/extreme underage, vomit, scat, beastiality, insane asylums, shock treatment, medical stuff.
Also my AO3 name is HannaM just in case you're a lovely person browsing for treats.
The Binding of Isaac
Isaac and/or Eve and/or Magdalene
I love the atmosphere of this game (the title/menu music on the first version hooked me but I also really enjoy Rebirth fwiw) and how it manages to look and feel so distinctive while being so light on story. That combination of Freudian imagery, body horror and devil/angel dichotomies is so artistically fascinating to me, and I'm always happy to see more done with that and/or the game's Biblical themes. Or seeing Isaac encounter his siblings, or imagining his siblings, or in one of the shops. Seeing as the game itself leaves so much unanswered, I'm definitely not looking for some kind of definitive explanation for all the peculiarities of the Basement, but it would be interesting to explore what's going on in Isaac and/or Eve and/or Maggy's head as they descend. Do any of the power up items change them internally as well as externally? Design wise, Maggy looks like Isaac in a wig, and one of Isaac's dreams in-game has him getting a wig that looks like Maggy's. So… is Maggy another version of Isaac, or is that just a weird coincidence? Or was she a sibling that came before Isaac that Mom liked better/wants Isaac to resemble, or something else entirely? (Or you don't have to dwell on that at all, of course, I'm just spitballing ideas) Do Eve's starting items mean she was cursed before she jumped into the Basement? Why was that, on a human level? And what on earth is up with the Cathedral/what does it mean that Isaac is the boss?
Binding of Isaac DNWs: sex of any kind, too much focus on the poop, total misery porn.
Black Wolves Saga
Mejojo von Garibaldi and/or Fiona Galland
Mejojo: What's it like in Mejojo's head, being so intensely conniving and yet utterly convinced of his own rightness? How does he personally justify what he and Auger do to others? What would a world where Mejojo achieves all his goals actually be like to live in? Or how does he feel in an ending where Fiona slips through his fingers?
Fiona: This poor girl barely has time to breathe before intense situation after intense situation hits her! What is it like being at the center of so many plots, witness (and victim of) so much suffering? How does she cope? How does she not, so much? Or in a different vein, a sweet moment with her family (and Zara + Pearl and Richie) before everything goes to hell? I would also totally be up for a Five Things kind of story exploring the different routes she can end up on/inventing additional paths. My favorite routes are Mejojo's, Auger's, Rath's and Julian's so far but I'm open to any canonical Fiona ship.
Mejojo/Fiona: Hello, Stockholm Syndrome! Mejojo is intensely possessive of Fiona from the start, even when he barely knows her, because of what she symbolizes to him. I find that fascinating. I also love how on Mejojo's route, there's this combination of Fiona choosing Mejojo because she thinks she can effect the most positive change in the kingdom that way/sacrifice her own safety for the greater good and genuine slow burning fascination with Mejojo himself. Dubcon is absolutely on the table here, and I'm even going to go against a usual DNW of mine and say non-con for this ship is as well.
Black Wolves Saga DNWs: Fiona dying, anyone being fully paralyzed or blinded, violent stuff involving eyes or fingers.
Diabolik Lovers
Sakamaki Kanato and/or Komori Yui
Kanato: !!! Ahem. I love Kanato dearly, so I'd be interested in just about anything with him. Kanato's average day? Kanato selecting prey? Kanato's terrible sportsmanship? Kanato as seen by his human classmates? Kanato and vampires who are not his immediate family? Kanato and his "dolls"? Kanato and Teddy? Kanato talking to himself in the mirror? No really, though. If you are down for it, I'd just as much love to see more Kanato/Yui as a couple who cannot possibly do normal couple things because they're both so thoroughly fucked in the head. Emotionally unhealthy creepy dependence, controlling behavior, dubcon (vanilla sex that's nevertheless sinister is more than okay BUT should you be interested in depicting kinky sex/kinky prelude to sex, knives are good, choking is good, dress-up is good, restraints are good, mind control is good, biting and scratching is good, hair-pulling and general rough usage is good, gags are good, sensory deprivation is good, mirrors are good, humiliation is good though specifically around other vampires since it edges into DNW when classmates are around for some reason, and yeah, vampire stuff) and I mean, anything that is present in Kanato's anime scenes or first game route is A-OK basically.
Yui: I honestly adore Yui. She's a diehard survivor and I love how hard she fights to hold onto her humanity and compassion even when no one shows any compassion to her. And it's super satisfying whenever she stands up for herself or gets the upper hand. I'd be curious what her life was like before the Sakamakis. It's hinted a few times that Yui can see ghosts and possibly other supernatural phenomena, was that scary/upsetting for her or just something it took her a while to realize didn't happen to everybody? Yui's religion is mostly shown as a positive force in her life, and yet this is the same church that regularly sent sacrificial brides to the Sakamakis and dumped her at their mansion without explanation. Were there ever moments growing up when she doubted the church's teachings at all or found herself in trouble? Did Cordelia ever attempt to manifest when she was younger? Otherwise, I'm especially fond of her dynamic with Kanato and Reiji, and anything with Yui dealing with the brothers is good!
Diabolik Lovers DNWs: mundane AUs, Yui dying permanently, Kanato dying, totally uncreepy vampire romance, Yui's stuff/room being destroyed to punish her, specifically public humiliation on the street/in front of classmates or humans and I'd rather not have heights brought into it unless everyone involved can fly.
Jooubachi no Oubou
Rin and/or Kaguya
So one of the things I find really interesting about Kaguya and Rin's dynamic and would always be delighted to see more of is the degree to which they see themselves in each other, and where that empathy is helpful versus where it interferes with their understanding of the other as a separate individual person. Kaguya clearly sees her own precious childhood in Rin's "innocence" and is very protective of him because she couldn't protect herself, but Rin seems to identify more strongly with Kaguya's fierce desire for survival and revenge, and the more she tries to wrap him up in blankets and take care of him the more frustrated he feels and the more desperate his desire gets to prove he's not a pet. How did he first start to hero worship her? What were their meetings like as childhood friends (probably the most inappropriately sweet thing in the game)? Have they learned anything from each other? I'd also be interested in more of the aftermath of the scene where Sumeragi goads Rin into sexually assaulting Kaguya with him. There's a whole lot of horrifying and sad implications in Rin's confusion over the idea that Kaguya's body responding didn't mean she wanted that, especially given the way he flees when Kaguya bitterly decides to force him too. And then there's the whole setup with the magical eye to play with, because I'm hardly going to rule out porn and/or violent stuff from a canon where that's so integral. Just... with below reservations.
If we matched on only Kaguya, I'd love another snapshot of her childhood pre-cliff, or her playing with Menou or the Queen. Or, how about that world created by the crazy time travel in Menou-hen where Kaguya was never cliffed? Would Kaguya still be drawn to the same drones? Wouldn't Kaguya and Menou ultimately come into conflict over the throne still? (Or am I misunderstanding that world, which is entirely possible) How might their rivalry play out in a world where Kaguya had never been assaulted and kept prisoner?
Jooubachi no Oubou DNWs: Piercing/needles focus, violent stuff involving eyes and fingers, extreme underage/ageplay.
Nameless~ the one thing you must recall
???
I felt a bit cheated of a full crazypants route with ??? because I am ridiculous, so anything further exploring ??? in full human form attempting to be Totally Definitely A Fellow Human Student would be delightful, with or without continued assurance that he's Eri's boyfriend. Or further exploration of one of those many bad ends (except maybe not the one where Eri is a doll because full paralysis/trapped inside a body silently screaming is something of a gut level horror for me) with ??? looking after Eri with creepy tenderness/tender creepiness? . Or further exploration of ???'s end of things while Eri was on other character's routes! How does he feel about Yeonho and Tei trying to break her before he gets a chance? There's also a lot of different (creepy!) places you could go with the whole memory thing, especially since on some of the later routes even the player doesn't remember certain days.
Or to get a little less dark, post second secret end with ??? trying to fit in at Eri's place with the other former dolls? They'll likely have some hostility towards him considering all he's responsible for, so it probably won't be easy. Or, what if Eri is seeing one of the others romantically (my preferences being Tei and/or Yeonho) and ??? has to deal with feeling like he's being left behind again even though she still cares for him? Or the flip side, how does Eri feel about having to juggle all of the dolls plus ??? having definite feelings for her and caring about all of them but not knowing where to go from here?
Nameless DNWs: Outright graphic non-con, permadeath of Yeonho or Tei, Eri being bullied by the fangirls, Eri as abuser/rapist, fully paralyzed Eri.
Vampire Heaven
Sakurako and/or Komachi
This is an adorable show from 2013 with a fiendishly catchy theme song about two BFFs that run away from the vampire world (and Sakurako's creepy older fiance, known only as the Earl) to become part-timers at a late night cafe and stumble into a variety of wacky situations. Sakurako falls for Hayato, the resident loner guitar guy type, but honestly I'm way more interested in Sakurako/Komachi and Sakurako & Komachi! I love Komachi's protectiveness of Sakurako, and how curious and enthusiastic they both are about new things.
Before the Count, how did Sakurako and Komachi first meet? Have they gone on any other little adventures before (I mean, they had to do something in their hundred years together!) and if so, what's the rest of the vampire world like outside the Earl's domain? In light of the reveal that Komachi's been narrating the whole story, did Komachi ever come up with stories to tell Sakurako or write down other parts of their past? If you're up for writing Sakurako/Komachi, what was their first kiss like? Can vampires have sex? Are there any vampire rules about it?
Vampire Heaven DNWS: post-canon fic dwelling on human!Sakurako, Sakurako and Komachi fighting over a dude, non-con, violent stuff involving eyes or fingers.
