Hi, and thank you for checking out my letter! I've thrown out a bunch of prompts for each ship in each fandom (in not exactly equal proportion because some are older and that's just the way it shook out) but if none of them speak to you, provided you're not specifically using something I mentioned as a squick/DNW for that fandom, basically make whatever you want, because I'd love to receive something for any of these ships!

Also my AO3 name is HannaM just in case you're a lovely person browsing for treats.

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, bestiality, asylums, shock treatment, medical stuff, eye and fingernail harm, gendered violence against women (women attacked/hurt in their reproductive organs/breasts, a focus on killing women specifically, women punished for being sexually active), non-canon age regression (out of fear or for any other reason really)

There may be additional fandom-specific DNWs for some prompts, which I've included below and in my signup.


Code:Realize ~創世の姫君~ | Code: Realize - Guardian of Rebirth (Visual Novel)  

✵ Cardia Beckford/Finis

As of the writing of this letter I've 100% completed the first game and seen Finis's Future Blessings path + Wintertide Miracles! I have not watched the anime. I will put spoilers for Future Blessings (specifically the Finis path) after a warning. My letter has no spoilers for Wintertide Miracles.

I'm interested in creepy onesided (or Finis obsessed, Cardia conflicted) Finis/Cardia as well as sweet Finis/Cardia under certain circumstances so really anything with their relationship is good as long as it's intense!

I'm also equally interested in villainous Finis and redeemed!Finis, though if you're writing redeemed!Finis not in the Future Blessings/Wintertide Miracles timeline I'd like to see him struggle with redemption at least a bit.

Starting with villainous!Finis prompts, it seems to me there's a lot of scenarios in which Cardia could get captured by Finis. The fact that the Finis that gets killed by Saint Germain in chapter 8 isn't necessarily the only Finis also makes it possible that Finis could not be permanently dead on pretty much any route IMO (though Saint-Germain implies he's permanently taken care of the Finis problem on his route, I'm willing to handwave that for the sake of the really interesting potential character dynamic of multiple Finises trying to capture Cardia before Saint Germain can kill her).

We know from Victor's route that zicterium makes Cardia temporarily non-poisonous to the touch... does Finis know this? Or might he discover it? Similarly, on Impey's route Nemo chips off a piece of the Horologium which lowers Cardia's poisonousness. If Finis captured Cardia in either circumstance, he might discover by accident he can touch her in allll sorts of ways.

For redeemed! Finis, towards the end of Lupin's route, Cardia attempts to save Finis's life and tells him she wants to love him, and it truly seems to sink in. What if they'd had that kind of encounter under different circumstances and he survived?

Or, what if Finis is still alive on Impey's route when the Horologium is chipped, and since Isaac wouldn't want an incomplete/imperfect Horologium he decides to temporarily help Cardia against Nemo and things develop from there?

Or, what if Finis managed to survive Saint-Germain and seeing Saint-Germain try to kill Cardia brought him from possessive fury to genuine distress to maybe even trying to sacrifice himself for Cardia and turning her head towards him?

If you're interested in writing smut (consensual, dubcon or non-con) you can check out my 2022 Smut 4 Smut letter for more specific Finis/Cardia sexy prompts: https://murderershair.dreamwidth.org/8300.html#cutid1


Code: Realize DNWs
: Mundane AUs, permanently dead Finis, permanently dead Cardia (minus creative and/or emotionally resonant Saint-Germain murder), Finis and Cardia acting as though Isaac's biological children's lives were their lives

Future Blessings spoilers

In the Future Blessings timeline when they're living together in Wales... Do they share a bed? Who potentially makes the first move? Are they both kind of terrible at kissing at first, or does Finis have residual knowledge from Isaac that is both helpful and frankly kind of uncomfortable?




Olympia Soirée (Visual Novel)

✵ Olympia/Himuka

Considering Himuka's... everything, I wonder how long it took him to have any idea that what he was feeling for Olympia wasn't the same as what he felt for Amaterasu. I'd love to see pretty much any of his route from his POV! AAlso, obviously, there's a lot for him to discover post-route, what with having a fully functional human body to learn about and discover... to compare with Olympia's, even. Smut greatly welcomed/encouraged! (but not at all required) I'd also be into seeing some unconventional first times, like first time Himuka gets a cut or a bruise or discovering food likes and dislikes.

If you're more interested in Olympia's POV (I've been using the name Olympia but am fine with using Byakuya in fic) I loved the date they went on to the waterfalls, which I think was a big turning point in their relationship. A moment of realization for Olympia that she's considering Himuka as a possible soulmate, or a sweet/tender moment between them later on? I also loved the high stakes drama of Himuka's route, and would be delighted to see her fighting for him against naysayers or protecting him.

If you're interested in writing smut, here's some optional prompts/inspiration in the form of freeform tags: Body Worship, Character with Low Self-Esteem has Self-Worth Affirmed Through Tender Sex, Touch-Starved, First Time - Has Never Been Aroused Before, Cuddling & Snuggling, Hand Holding during Sex, Kissing Tears Away, Woman on Top.



Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game)

✵ Geralt of Rivia/Triss Merigold
Triss Merigold/Yennefer of Vengerberg
Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon/Vivienne de Tabris (Witcher Games)


Geralt/Triss: I really love their dynamic in the games, how Geralt is able to be playful with Triss and how warm and relaxed Triss can get with Geralt, I'd love anything more on that score although admittedly I got quite a lot from canon! There's a lot of room for fun with these two, and I'd particularly enjoy some sexy misdaventures or them able to laugh together after something went wrong or something particularly preposterous happened to one or both. Or, for a change, Triss saving Geralt from a tight spot! Having recently finished Blood and Wine, I'd also love to see Geralt showing Triss around Touissant, checking out all the home and garden improvements he's made, drinking some of the vintage named after him, anything along those lines would be great.

Triss/Yennefer: I'll always wish we got more from canon about their friendship pre-Geralt, and how they came to know and like each other so much, considering how wildly different they are! I'm mostly interested in them hooking up pre-Geralt, or during one of Geralt and Yennefer's off-again periods. Does Triss know how to calm Yennefer down without pissing her off further? I'd imagine Yennefer might open up to Triss more than she does to most people, so a moment of comfort, or reassurance? Or perhaps Yennefer firing up Triss, shoring up her confidence?

Ciri/Vivienne de Tabris: I was really pleased by the conclusion of Vivienne's sidequest (The Warble of a Smitten Knight, in the Blood and Wine expansion to the third game) which at least in my game had her get her cure on her own terms, not return Guillaume's affections, and travel the world. But what happens to her on her travels? Where does she go, and who might she meet? Could her life be further extended (or the promise offered, anyway) by a sorceress? (Philippa Eilhart also is a bird sometimes...) Maybe she meets Ciri organically, by chance, or maybe she has reason to seek out the services of a lady witcher... maybe Ciri realizes Vivienne has met Geralt, maybe not. Maybe they have a temporary fling, or maybe it has the potential to become something more, at least, for as long as Vivenne may live. There's also something visually pleasing in Ciri having the sparrow motif while Vivenne was cursed to become a literal bird...


If you're interested in writing smut (consensual, dubcon or non-con) you can check out my 2022 Smut 4 Smut letter for more specific sexy prompts for Geralt/Triss and Triss/Yennefer (since this is my first time requesting Ciri/Vivienne, there won't be prompts for them there): https://murderershair.dreamwidth.org/8300.html#cutid1

Witcher DNWs: "on-screen" Geralt/Yennefer (referencing them as having been a couple is okay or referenced as a couple in the case of a Ciri childhood story but not on page together doing romantic/sexual things), stories about homophobia (characters can deal with homophobic characters, their own internalized homophobia or the fear of societal rejection due to homophobia, but I'd rather all these things be subplots or side mentions rather than what the story primarily is focused on) stories focused on infertility/reproductive angst, slutshaming, female characters being violently punished by men in ways that involve their reproductive organs, hair, eyes or fingers aside from referencing canonical situations.

Diabolik Lovers
Genres: Gothic Horror, Psychological Horror, Survival Horror
Characters/Relationships:
✵ Komori Yui & Komori Seiji (Diabolik Lovers)

DNW
Seiji/Yui as a romantic or sexual relationship.

I have not kept up with the later games in the franchise, and would prefer to use the characterization from the first game (Haunted Dark Bridal) and/or the first anime season. My favorite pairings for Yui are Yui/Kanato and Yui/Reiji, so if you want to include either or both of those ships that's fine by me.

Yui & Komori Seiji:
So, first I have to acknowledge the obvious: Yui's father's characterization has been retconned at least one time that I'm aware of, which is almost impressive considering he barely got characterization to begin with. I stopped paying attention to the newer games post-Dark Fate/Lunatic Parade so I'm not aware if he's come up again, but since the two appearances I'm aware of (in Haunted Dark Bridal and in More Blood) have him doing almost the exact opposite thing in a very similar situation I'm totally willing to be, shall we say, flexible in terms of how you want to characterize Seiji, particularly on the subject of his bond with Yui and how he was as a father to her. Obviously he was a vampire hunter but he also did not take proper precautions to protect Yui from vampires, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was a bad or neglectful parent during her childhood and early teen years.

That said, for me personally one of the most effective truly horrifying moments in the first game was Kanato bringing vampire!Yui to meet and kill her father (in the heaven scenarios) and part of what was so creepy and sad about it, besides Yui not recognizing or remembering her father, was Yui saying that she'd expected a vampire hunter to put up more of a fight, with the implication that Seiji loved her too much to use all his skill to try to kill her even though she'd become a monster. I'm more interested in that version of her father than the one in More Blood who can't even tell if she's a vampire or not that just jumps to attempted murder (as fun as Kanato protecting her is). So I'd absolutely love heartbreaking Seiji POV for that heaven scenario!

If that doesn't speak to you, I'd be interested in pretty much any scenario in which Yui and Seiji reunite but Yui has been changed enough by her experiences that they can't find common ground any more. A Yui who's been corrupted by Cordelia's influence not understanding why her father is frightened by her or disgusted by her newfound cruelty? Seiji trying to protect his daughter and inadvertently killing the one vampire she's formed the closest bond with, not understanding why she's devastated? (For this prompt, I'd rather the dead vampire boyfriend be Shu, Subaru or Ayato than Kanato or Reiji, or perhaps one of the Mukamis if you're into the More Blood version) Or a snapshot of Yui's childhood/teen years, with Seiji concealing his vampire hunting activities and lying to Yui over and over again even as increasingly weird and unsettling things are happening? Or an AU where Seiji manages to come back and rescue Yui before she gets in too deep with the Sakamakis, but where they're constantly on the run being tracked by the brothers, Richter and/or other vampires at the behest of Karl Heinz?


The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time
Genres: Folk Horror, Gothic Horror, Supernatural Horror, Psychological Horror, Survival Horror

✵ Solo: The Poe Collector
✵ The Poe Sisters | Joelle & Beth & Amy & Meg

The Poe Sisters: So, how creepy is the Forest Temple? I'll be honest and say I do in fact think every single dungeon in Ocarina of Time is creepy in its own way but even so, there's something about how much mystery surrounds the Forest Temple and how it's the only one that really feels out of place with its surroundings. I mean, it's a house, right? Just a decaying mansion in the middle of the Lost Woods that's been reclaimed by the forest and the creatures who actually belong there, after something happened to the original inhabitants. Did the house become the temple after it was abandoned or was the house built on the bones of where the temple should have been so the house was always doomed to become a vacant temple once again? Did the Poe Sisters live there while it was still a new building, or were they the last humans left as the place gradually deteriorated and was overtaken by the forest? Were they humans (Hylians, or Sheikah in hiding?) who died, or is the process of becoming a Poe stranger and more eerie than that? Did they all become Poes at once, or did they change one by one and still recognize their sisters? What's it like to be a Poe, anyway? Do they have goals and motivations, or are they reduced to very basic shadows of themselves? Do they have any kind of awareness of Phantom Ganon or the ways in which the temple itself is being corrupted or are they part of the corruption?

The Poe Collector:
I personally love the theory that the bored soldier you meet in that same building in Hyrule Castle Town becomes the Poe Collector in the future timeline. Whether or not it's specifically him, clearly there are some opportunists and unscrupulous types who thrived under Ganondorf's rule, and the Poe Collector is definitely one of those. Why does he collect Poes, even if he would be in a different line of work if he looked like Link? Has he undergone some sort of transformation himself or is he just a really ominous looking person? Does he interact with the Poes? What about other creatures like Stalchildren that seem like they might have been people once? Does the Poe Collector know about the Kakariko Graveyard, the Bottom of the Well or generally Hyrule's dark secrets held by the Shadow Temple and the dead or is he a purely independent opportunist? The Poe Collector in Majora's Mask seems to know things about Ikana, assuming he's the same person... though then again, Termina being Termina, maybe he isn't.


Vampire Chronicles Series - Anne Rice
Genres: Gothic Horror, Religious Horror, Psychological Horror, Survival Horror

✵ Solo: Armand
✵ Armand & Lestat de Lioncourt
✵ Armand & Daniel Molloy

General note for the Vampire Chronicles: my preferred canon is the first three books, though I have read through The Vampire Armand. I haven't read the Prince Lestat books and it sounds like I would not like them so I'd rather not receive anything set during that period, or heavily incorporating the Mayfairs.

I ship Armand/Lestat and Armand/Daniel and would be happy to receive romantic/sexual content for either or both ships, including mentions of Armand having feelings for Lestat that are left ambiguous as to whether they're actually requited or not (though I would prefer it if that's because Lestat isn't in the story rather than something like Lestat outright rejecting Armand or being seen favoring others romantically) and Armand > Daniel or Daniel > Armand either before they're officially together or when they're having one of their breaks and are bitterly unsure if the other one even cares about them anymore. If you're writing just Armand, I'm also open to Armand/Original Character(s) and mentions of Armand's other canon relationships, though I'm not a big fan of Armand/Louis and have some specific squicks around Armand/Marius (more detail on that below)

Armand:
There's a lot to explore in the Children of Darkness years, which Armand kind of skims through in his book... one of my pet theories is that it's because he doesn't want to be held responsible for what he did in those times, because he almost definitely didn't whoopsie trip into becoming a damn coven leader! I believe he made the pragmatic and practical decision to accept his new reality and actively worked to gain trust and position within the cult, but stopped short of telling David Talbot/the world because he didn't think it sounded sympathetic. Which is funny because I actually like that much better for him than "I was just terrorized into compliance, it was beyond my control." This is the main reason I ticked Religious Horror, though I'm also completely open to Armand and/or Lestat having a creepy experience with a Christian/Catholic angle. I would prefer no other real-world religions brought into it, however. (And please please do not write horror set in Kyiv or with Ukrainian perpetrators in Armand's early childhood or later)

Alternatively, how did Armand and the vampire theater survive the French Revolution? That must've been a hell of a time to be in Paris! Or something about the horror of time marching on, or having nightmares about someone he's killed or had to leave behind or feels responsible for losing? We know that Armand fears being alone... so what happens when Armand is inevitably forced to be alone. How did he stay sane and keep from going underground in those decades between when Lestat went underground and Daniel showed up at Lestat's Garden District home in 1976?

Armand & Lestat: What if Armand took (more) advantage of finding Lestat in a weakened state in New Orleans post-Louis breakup? Or what if he made contact with Lestat sooner (before Gabrielle's turning?) and tried to indoctrinate him into the Children of Darkness? Is there anything powerful enough to victimize them both together? Lestat thinks about the things that scare him about Armand in TVL and elsewhere, but what about the things in Lestat that frighten Armand? Lestat, in Armand's POV, basically forces him out of his home and shatters his spiritual and communal illusions. Surely there's something horrifying about confronting Paris then, about confronting every successive modern age, because Armand always tries to get a buffer of some sort to understand it. What future inventions (and I'm using a loose definition of "future" that basically includes everything from the 16th century onward) frighten and unsettle Armand the most?

Armand & Daniel: Daniel's entire life since meeting Armand is a horror story, obviously, but I'm always happy to hear more about it.  How does Daniel conceptualize being stalked by a vampire for years without that vampire losing interest before he's willing to confront there being a romantic/sexual component? Does it become more or less horrifying when he does get romantically/sexually involved with Armand? Does Daniel have any existential crises beyond confronting his own mortality, thinking about what it means to be in a world of vampires? What would happen if another vampire tried to go after Daniel?


Note regarding Marius (and Marius/Armand): I love to hate Marius, he is so spectacularly the worst that sometimes I had to just put down TVL or TVA and scream, but you know, he's a deeply important facet to understanding Armand and why he is the way he is and their relationship is as fascinating and compelling as it is upsetting (to me). But I also really viscerally hated the moments when it felt like the narrative was reinforcing the idea that Marius was a benevolent god (rather than every bit as flawed and biased by the things he had been raised to believe in his own lifetime as any other vampire) and ideal teacher of wisdom, even as he flew off the handle every time Armand asked a solid question or dared to have a different opinion. So I guess what I'm trying to say is... I'm not against Armand/Marius coming up, or Marius himself appearing or being referenced, but I'd appreciate it if Lestat was less starry-eyed about him and Armand was allowed to feel bitter and/or conflicted about aspects of his upbringing and early vampire years without doubling back to go 'but of course Marius's wisdom was unassailable!' if that makes sense.
murderershair: (finis/cardia)
To start with, I have to acknowledge I saw this movie all the way back at the beginning of October at a sold-out festival screening, so I may forget or misremember some details. I will also say my opinion has gradually shifted over the last couple months, and may continue shifting in the future. But I think I'm ready to try to tackle my thoughts and feelings now, after reading multiple professional reviews, none of which really hit the mark for me, and talking with other people who saw it in person. This is definitely a difficult film to talk about, not least because there's two big traps a lot of reviewers are falling into: a) reviewing it as feminist polemic first and foremost and b) reviewing it as "shocking" (or, the positive version, "daring") without stopping to consider how the supposed shock value serves or doesn't serve the film and characters on their own... in other words, trying to anticipate audience response.

So I'll get those out of the way right from the top: the film's feminist agenda is clear, laudable even, and if the conclusions it comes to are obvious and not particularly revolutionary for most liberal adults, I certainly don't object to them or find it worth complaining that they aren't nuanced enough, because this is not a nuanced film in general. It's very 2023 Feminism 101 and that's fine. I was not shocked by anything sexual in this movie, except maybe the specificity of the threat of sexual violence that happens towards the end (in dialogue, not depicted, thank goodness). I would not call it daring, either. If anything, I think it becomes a bit too neat and conventional.

But it's impossible to really dig into the specifics without starting with the center of it all, which is Bella Baxter (Emma Stone). There's a lot of praise across the board for Emma Stone's performance, but from the beginning, this was where I found myself hesitating. It isn't that I think Stone's performance is subpar, but something about the character herself never entirely clicks for me, and I've concluded this is mostly the fault of the dialogue and screenplay overall. It is also the fault of the film making Bella the one female character who truly has a personality and voice, which ends up making her feel like the sole representative of Liberated Woman. Oh, sure, there are other women in the film. But they're either thinly drawn mean caricatures, thinly drawn earnest cheerleaders of Bella just there to say the faux-Victorian equivalent of "you go, girl!", or entirely voiceless (the Margaret Qualley character, in Poor Thing's biggest missed opportunity). This is not, therefore, a film about women and their interior lives. This is a film about how men perceive women. And on that level, I would say it succeeds.

I have now been extremely extremely privileged enough to see two different Sweeney Todds (Josh Groban and Nicolas Christopher) in the same production! (The current Broadway revival) So of course I must compare them. I would also love to see another Mrs Lovett, but I absolutely do not expect to be able to see the show again (though I am incredibly curious about Sutton Foster coming in February) and in a way it was useful having Annaleigh Ashford both times to more directly compare. Though I have to say, I'm... not the biggest fan of Ashford in the role. Maybe I'll get into that later? Let's start with the Sweeneys!


murderershair: (start a fire triss)
https://www.lct.org/shows/daphne/

Sometimes I think a play (or film, or book, etc) that doesn't quite achieve all it sets out to can leave me more thoughtful than one that does. I've said many times that I find it harder to talk about media when I completely love it, though I've been trying to get better about that. In this case, though, I immediately started pulling up reviews on my phone the moment I walked out of the Claire Tow Theater, which is not usually an urge I get when I've been totally swept away.

Still, I didn't completely agree with a single review I read, so here I am trying to unpack my own thoughts.

The basics: Daphne has moved into a very creepy very isolated house in the woods with her new girlfriend Winona. The one-act play is set entirely in this house, which Winona does not like Daphne to leave and does not want her bringing in guests to (especially not the nearest neighbor, who she claims is a witch). A cut on Daphne's finger begins to grow bark, cabinets open and shut and Winona has a strange pet underneath a sheet by the door who occasionally rattles what sounds like a cage until Winona feeds it. Winona says it's a bird named Phoebus, and that if anyone lifts the sheet it will scream.

I went in expecting experimental horror with mythological themes, and that is basically what I got. However, I do agree with the basic gist of most of the reviews: too many questions were left unanswered, and there's at least one major scene I very much felt needed a real conclusion. What I don't agree on is that nothing was answered or that everything had to be spelled out with zero ambiguity.

Going for this fic meme I got from [personal profile] mildredmost because it seemed fun!

Go through your last 5 fics and share the first and last line. Provide no context.

Plucked By The Cruel Hand Of Fortune

As grateful as Nagito was to be untied and allowed to roam the island freely once again, it was a bit disheartening that most of the Ultimates wanted nothing to do with him.

It wouldn't last, he knew, but he was determined to enjoy it while it did.

No Love Without Pain

Thanatos has never understood gods who become close with living mortals.

"Come here, let me prove to you who I really love.”

Children of Disobedience

It was not like Lestat to be so quiet.

Some experiences were too precious to share.

how could you leave me when I needed to possess you?

Lestat, if you are reading this then either you have woken after my death or something has caused me to leave your side without destroying this letter.

I should burn it.

Golden Boy

Daniel had, if not precisely gotten used to Armand appearing wherever and whenever he chose, at least resigned himself to this fact.

Well, he was still a journalist, after all. 


...I kind of love that "how could you leave me" almost makes sense, while most of the others have last lines that are pretty mysterious/devoid of context on their own. Also I've realized a lot of my first lines don't hit as strongly without the next couple sentences, though I don't think any of them are bad or anything. I was sorely tempted to include the rest of the first paragraph of "Plucked" and the next two lines of Golden Boy though, because they set the tone for the rest.

Hi, and thank you for checking out my letter :D I've thrown out a bunch of prompts for each relationship (and uh, wrote half a ship manifesto before coming to my senses) but if none of them speak to you, provided you're not specifically using something I mentioned as a squick/DNW for that fandom, basically make what you want.

If you've got a wild, weird idea of your own, I'd love to read it! If you're hoping to write some good old fashioned tropey fun, I'm absolutely on board for like, bodyswapping, trapped in a cozy location overnight, handwavey undead sex pollen (for Armand/Lestat), magic brought their dicks back to life (for Armand/Lestat) etc.

Crossover Fandom
Claudia (IwtV TV 2022) & Gabrielle de Lioncourt (VC Novels)

So I'd been vaguely thinking about rereading at least Interview for years now, but what finally made me actually commit was seeing the first two episodes of the new AMC TV series. Which I happen to think is brilliant, it engages with my favorite parts of the original (the metatextual layering, the unreliable narrators, all the different metaphors for vampires as predators, as outsiders while also being soaked in blood and theatricality and intense relationships) while making thoughtful changes and fully integrating new commentary about race and racism in America. But to pull back from my gushing, I finally cracked open my copy of the book after the first two episodes and I realized I really hadn't reread Interview with a Vampire since approximately 2006. There was a LOT of stuff I did not remember or had a different perspective on, as I'd expected, but to my surprise that held true through The Vampire Lestat (which I read a lot more often when I was in the height of my Anne Rice fan years). So I promise, I'm prompting with fresh eyes and thoughts.

In the show, Claudia looks old enough that she can strike out on her own and attempt an independent life, which is a pretty major difference! Although it doesn't stick, and she continues to seek knowledge and intellectual pursuits among humans (as opposed to Gabrielle wanting to abandon humanity altogether) it made me think of Gabrielle and her independence, and wonder what that meeting could look like.

No Gabrielle has ever met a Claudia, and although I don't know for certain what the TV series is planning, I doubt they'll bend the narrative timeline into a pretzel to make it possible. So, since Gabrielle isn't in the TV series yet, I decided to nominate this as a crossover to make it clear I'm curious about book!Gabrielle encountering show!Claudia, specifically. I feel like Gabrielle's way of being a vampire would be attractive to the show's Claudia-- the raw power and freedom of it. Away from all human eyes, age and race cease to matter (at least in theory). If nothing else, I think Gabrielle would be drawn to Claudia's rage and resentment at being stifled, though I can't decide if it would be more fun if Claudia immediately worked out she was related to Lestat or if it just came up later, like Gabrielle didn't even think it was worth mentioning. Then again, if Gabrielle found out what Claudia did to Lestat (whether or not it counts as "her" Lestat) ... a lot of really interesting places this could go, basically!


Vampire Chronicles Series - Anne Rice
Armand/Lestat de Lioncourt

I've recently reread Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, and am rereading Queen of the Damned now plus almost finished with The Vampire Armand for the first time. Back in the day I also read Tale of the Body Thief, Memnoch the Devil and Pandora, but didn't finish any other books beyond that so my prompting is based on the books I've mentioned. I'd rather not receive anything heavily based on Prince Lestat/Realm of Atlantis.

Lestat, not a bad friend to have and one for whom I would lay down my immortal life, one for whose love and companionship I have ofttimes begged, one whom I find maddening and fascinating and intolerably annoying, one without whom I cannot exist.
-The Vampire Armand


And then I was moving up in the darkness, and Armand and I stood together on the high roof. Radiant he was, in the same old fashioned evening clothes, and we were looking over the jungle of dark singing treetops at the distant silver curve of the river and the low heavens where the stars burned through the pearl gray clouds.
    
I was weeping at the sheer sight of it, at the feel of the damp wind against my face. And Armand stood beside me, with his arm around me. And he was talking of forgiveness and sadness, of wisdom and things learned through pain. "I love you, my dark brother," he whispered.

And the words moved through me like blood itself.

"It wasn't that I wanted vengeance," he whispered. His face was stricken, his heart broken. He said, "But you came to be healed and you did not want me! A century I had waited, and you did not want me!"
 
-The Vampire Lestat


I don't remember having a be-all end-all ship when I first read the books, but this time around Lestat/Armand hit me like a train and now it's my OTP that I want to scream about all the time, haha. The mutually obsessive descriptions of each other's beauty and charm and horrible brattiness! The fighting and screaming and Lestat almost murdering Armand in the rain but then cradling him in his arms and bringing him home and Armand wanting to stay!! The GRUDGES! The PASSION! It is going to be hard to even narrow down my top favorite scenes for them, honestly, but here are a few, summarized in shitpost style.

Armand: I am a poor little meow meow who has never done anything wrong in my life~
Lestat: You literally just kidnapped my boyfriend first best human friend and tried to BURN HIM ALIVE in front of me!
Armand: As I said, I did nothing wrong. :angel:
Lestat: >:(
Armand: Look at this face, how can you hold such petty trifles against me?
Lestat: ...he makes a good point, actually, he is very pretty. I mean, no! Absolutely not!
Armand: >:( Why are you so determined not to LOVE ME, you monster, you've RUINED MY LIFE!

(The very minute Armand leaves)

Lestat: Damn it, I think I really do love him though.

A century or so later

Lestat: Armand! I need your help ;_;
Armand: Of course, let me escort you to the top of the tower you suggested I move into after you LEFT ME, you bastard I've been waiting to get my revenge all these years!!

(Armand shoves Lestat off the tower)

Lestat: ...I don't know what I expected...

But then!! Lestat retconning Louis's story, saying no, Louis never came to visit me when I was sad and decrepit back in the Garden District... BUT ARMAND SURE DID.

Armand: What the FUCK Lestat, and you made fun of me for living under a graveyard? This place is a rathole! You're literally eating rats, like the pathetic parasitic aristocrat you were born to be! Ahahaha! Look at you! Who's a grubby little animal of the night now?! It's not me, haha!

Lestat: Then why is this the fifth time you've been back in five nights? You could just leave me here to die... Again.

Armand: Shut up! It's not like I like you or anything, baka...

And then a freaking outright romantic scene with Armand offering to give him his blood and heal him and love him all over again with Lestat rejecting him that Lestat ends by saying "Yet memory play its tricks. Maybe I imagined it, his last invitation, and the anguish after. The weeping. I do know that as the months passed he was out there again. I heard him from time to time just walking those old Garden District streets. And I wanted to call to him, to tell him that it was a lie I'd spoken to him, that I did love him. I did." ;___;

Then I realized that the reason Daniel meets Armand when he goes looking for Lestat in Queen of the Damned is because ARMAND NEVER LEFT LESTAT'S SIDE the entire time Lestat was underground/comatose and Armand basically guarded Lestat's resting place until Daniel showed up and anyway yes I love them, I should probably actually give prompts and stuff now, sorry.

What does Armand think when he first comes across Lestat's music videos? How does he, is he watching MTV with Daniel or in a bar with a TV or what? What's Armand's reaction to Lestat waking up at long last, and how does he feel reading Lestat's descriptions of him in TVL or hearing Lestat sing about and portray him in his music?

Armand and Lestat have both sought each other out for comfort and assistance in key moments and have rejected each other but I'd love to see a scenario where the stars finally align and they actually need each other at the same time. It would still be a mess, obviously, but it's clear that they're magnetically drawn to each other and understand each other in a way no one else quite does. They're both intensely codependent but need to exercise some level of independence/pushback to feel alive, and I think they could make it work, at least for a little while.

Smut (and/or blood drinking as smut) very much welcome, by the way, though not in any way required!

Additional note that I love to hate Marius, he is so spectacularly the worst that sometimes I had to just put down TVL or TVA and scream, but you know, he's a deeply important facet to understanding Armand and why he is the way he is and their relationship is as fascinating and compelling as it is upsetting (to me). But I also really viscerally hated the moments when it felt like the narrative was reinforcing the idea that Marius was a benevolent god (rather than every bit as flawed and biased by the things he had been raised to believe in his own lifetime as any other vampire) and ideal teacher of wisdom, even as he flew off the handle every time Armand asked a solid question or dared to have a different opinion. So I guess what I'm trying to say is... I'm not against Armand/Marius coming up, or Marius himself appearing or being referenced, but I'd appreciate it if Lestat was less starry-eyed about him and Armand was allowed to feel bitter and/or conflicted about aspects of his upbringing and early vampire years without doubling back to go 'but of course Marius's wisdom was unassailable!' if that makes sense.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
✵ Link
Open To Sexual Content: No
Trick or Treat, Fic
So I finally finished this game for the first time this year, and I really love the mood it sets and how well it immerses you (and Link by extension) in all these characters' various plights. If you're not interested in writing something creepy, I'd actually be delighted by a story of Link returning to Hyrule, being reminded of the people and places he encountered in Termina and using things he learned there to improve the lives of everyday people (and/or Zelda, Malon, the Zora, the Kokiri...). Otherwise man, feel free to dig into the creepy here. What is it like wearing the various masks? Is Link ever in danger of being trapped in one of his forms besides the Deku one at the beginning? If that darned bird steals his stuff, what does he have to go through to get it back? Does anyone besides Tingle ever recognize Link from one form to the next?


Pictures of You- Oingo Boingo (Song)
✵ Singer/You
Open To Sexual Content: Yes
Trick, Fic
Who (or what) are You? When did the singer meet You (her? him? them?) if they can even remember it? What do You want, really? Are they dead and haunting the singer? Are they some sort of supernatural entity with a crush? And what about the singer? Did they kill You? Why do You come to them twice, once wrong and cold and once right and warm, successfully seducing the singer? Will You come to them a third time? Incidentally, I'd love a gothic horror take on this song (love gothic horror in general) but I'd also be delighted with a good old fashioned haunting or guilt-based obsession.

I'll note that I originally pictured You as female, but I'm open to them being male or nonbinary as well!


ピオフィオーレの晩鐘 | Piofiore no Banshou (Visual Novel)
✵ Yang
✵ Liliana Adornato/Yang
Open to Sexual Content: Yes
Trick or Treat, Fic
I adored Yang before even unlocking his route, just from seeing him effortlessly manipulate events on Nicola’s. Yang’s actual route didn’t disappoint! I love his relationship with Lili, how he pushes her to think for herself and keeps her (and everyone around him) on their toes. If we matched on just Yang I’d love something about when he was first getting established in Veleno, or him playing off the Falzones and/or Visconti, figuring out how they work and how to exploit their weaknesses for his own gain. Or about him post his bad end with Lili or post, say, Nicola's ends where he ends up seriously injured but not necessarily dead, clawing his way back into a position of power because he's a damned survivor :D

If we matched on Lili/Yang, I really like that Lili grows up a lot more over the course of his route. She's forced to challenge a lot of her preconceived notions and ends up more pragmatic for it. I especially liked the scene where the Falzones try to take her and she says she doesn't trust them because they're two-faced, unlike Yang, who doesn't pretend to be anything other than what he is. There aren't many simple answers on Yang's route, and I'd love it if that carried over into the fic. The best end involves Lili leaving Italy altogether with him, which can't be easy for her. How does she cope with the culture shock and learning a new language? Does Yang have any tips for her based on his experiences? Or, what if they met under different circumstances? Could Yang successfully seduce Lili away from one of the Falzone?

I will mention though I'm not too fussed about spoilers at the time of writing this letter I've finished Nicola's route, Yang's route and am partway through Dante's. I haven't gotten to Orlok or Gilbert yet.


Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game)
✵ Geralt of Rivia
✵ Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon/Philippa Eilhart
✵ Geralt of Rivia/Triss Merigold
Open to Sexual Content: Yes
Trick or Treat, Fic
Special DNWs: on-screen Geralt/Yennefer (or Geralt/Yennefer as a major part of the story) or any Geralt/Dandelion; Geralt, Ciri, or Triss dying.

Geralt: I absolutely adore Geralt, he's one of my favorite video game protagonists and I think his understated sarcastic humor is so underrated (at least by a lot of other characters in the games, who admittedly don't get to hear as much of it as the player does). What does a really good day look like for Geralt? A really bad one, preferably with some sort of relief at the end? A monster that forces him to use all his wits, or one who convinces him to spare them? Some bonding/relaxing time with Lambert and/or Eskel and/or Vesemir? A moment when Ciri made him a proud father?
I don't much enjoy Geralt/Yennefer as a romantic pairing so while I don't need you to pretend they didn't happen I'd prefer it if they were either broken up, on an "off-again" period of their romance or just not interacting on screen in the fic.

Ciri/Philippa: This is sort of an out-there ship, but bear with me! What if Philippa's plan worked and Ciri ended up as the heir to Nilfgaard with Philippa as her advisor? I'd love to see the struggle between Ciri doing her best not to be manipulated and Philippa being, well, Philippa. Dubcon absolutely encouraged, but it'd also be fun if Ciri genuinely found Philippa a helpful mentor, even if eventually she has to break free from her to keep her independence and do what's right. I'll also note this is a rare case where not only am I okay with both halves of the ship hurting each other, I'd also accept an ending with Ciri attempting to (and/or succeeding in!) murder Philippa, either post relationship or while Philippa believes Ciri's still under her thumb.

Geralt/Triss: I really love their dynamic in the games, how Geralt is able to be playful with Triss and how warm and relaxed Triss can get with Geralt, I'd love anything more on that score although admittedly I got quite a lot from canon! There's a lot of room for fun with these two, and I'd particularly enjoy some sexy misdaventures or them able to laugh together after something went wrong or something particularly preposterous happened to one or both. Or, for a change, Triss saving Geralt from a tight spot! (Receiving a grateful kiss?) Or, if you're up for something spooky/creepy, a romantic getaway turned into a nightmare? Perhaps after a period of separation, Geralt and Triss both get roped individually or together into investigating something that turns out to be a lot freakier than either of them anticipated? Or perhaps something disguises itself as Triss to seduce Geralt and Geralt slowly realizes something's not right (or realizes abruptly when the real Triss shows up)

Hi, and thank you for checking out my letter! I've provided some prompts, ideas, general concepts and the like for each fandom along with the horror genres I like best for that request and while I hope some of them speak to you, if they don't please feel free to write me something else based on the horror genre providing it doesn't hit any of my DNWs.

Also my AO3 name is HannaM just in case you're a lovely person browsing for treats.

General Likes: creeping dread, not being able to trust one’s own memories/intuition/general sanity, vampires, ghosts, werewolves and other were-creatures, blood related rituals, atmosphere, characters trying to cover up their own discomfort with humor, ambiguous endings, characters trying to do their best despite all the odds being against them, oddly tender moments, tender moments that are really inappropriately timed, characters who are understandably wary of everything due to life circumstances, recovering memories you didn’t actually want back, something supernatural trying its best to blend in but failing just enough to unsettle, trauma from upbringing/family, gaslighting (though not between any requested relationships except perhaps Link & Happy Mask Salesman) huddling together for comfort even/especially if it’s not something one of them would usually do.



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, eye and fingernail harm, gendered violence against women (women attacked/hurt in their reproductive organs/breasts, a focus on killing women specifically, women punished for being sexually active), non-canon age regression (out of fear or for any other reason really)


The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Characters: Link, Link & Happy Mask Salesman
Genres: Body Horror, Survival Horror, Psychological Horror
Sexual Content: No
The masks are already pretty horrifying IMO, so it’d be great to get some Link POV on them. Or how they were created (did the Happy Mask Salesman create them, happen upon them, purchase them?) or more about their origins. Or, if you don’t want to write about the masks, anything about Link exploring in a weakened state/dealing with the fact that he was once strong enough to defeat Ganondorf and then was forcibly changed into a weak Deku Scrub at the beginning of the game.


Pictures of You- Oingo Boingo (Song)
Characters: Singer/You
Genres: Gothic Horror, Paranormal Horror
Sexual Content: Yes
Who (or what) are You? When did the singer meet You (her? him? them?) if they can even remember it? What do You want, really? Are they dead and haunting the singer? Are they some sort of supernatural entity with a crush? And what about the singer? Did they kill You? Why do You come to them twice, once wrong and cold and once right and warm, successfully seducing the singer? Will You come to them a third time?

I'll note that I originally pictured You as female, but I'm open to them being male or nonbinary as well!


Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game)
Characters: Geralt of Rivia, Geralt of Rivia & Ciri
Genres: Folk Horror, Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror, Religious Horror
Sexual Content: No
A creepy Geralt (or Geralt + Ciri) adventure, please! Maybe Geralt (or Ciri) is wounded and has to recover in a creepy small town? Maybe a ghost from the past finds Geralt? Or maybe a cult wants Ciri because of her blood, or Geralt because of his mutations? There’s plenty of material in canon for all these types, of course, so feel free to build off existing lore or create your own spooky situation.


Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game)
Relationship: Geralt of Rivia/Triss Merigold
Genres: Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror? Gothic Horror?
Sexual Content: Optional
A romantic getaway turned into a nightmare? Or perhaps after a period of separation, Geralt and Triss both get roped individually or together into investigating something that turns out to be a lot freakier than either of them anticipated? Or perhaps something disguises itself as Triss to seduce Geralt and Geralt slowly realizes something's not right (or realizes abruptly when the real Triss shows up)... or any other ideas you might have to combine horror with romance for these two!

Hi, and thank you for checking out my letter! As a long time smut writer and uh, appreciator of smut I am so pumped for this exchange, and I hope you are too. I've picked a lot of very specifically worded freeform tags this year, so while I've tried to expand on my thoughts with some tags, some sections are longer than others just because sometimes I thought most of the freeforms explained themselves. I'm excited about smut for all these ships so I'm looking forward to whatever you have in mind :D

I decided it was most helpful to provide DNWs on a request-by-request basis, since sometimes a 'yes please' in one fandom is a 'please no' in another and all that. In some cases I've listed elements that are present in canon as a DNW. Generally what this means is I don't want it to play a major part, be detailed, or the focus of the story, not that you need to pretend it doesn't exist/never happened (unless for your own reasons you'd like to).

I would also like to reiterate that tags operate on an and/OR basis. I don't expect to see all the tags I requested for a ship incorporated in my gift, and please feel free to ignore any tags that you don't want to write as long as you incorporate one and respect my DNWs. So, for example, if we match on Pinned By The Wrists and you want to write both characters as sexually experienced, don't worry if there's a Double Virgins tag, that's just one option!

Blanket DNWs that are a bit more relevant to some fandoms than others: pregnancy/impregnation/breeding, medfet, ageplay, extreme underage, vore, needles/piercing kink, sex with food, scat, vomit, graphic "on-screen" permanent disfigurement.

So I finally 100% completed Code Realize Guardian of Rebirth! And apparently I have a lot of thoughts because my first attempt at this post was way too long and rambly.

Without getting into spoilers, first of all this game did not go how I was expecting it to go at all. I expected to date famous literary characters (+1 historical character +1 Impey Barbicane) who had some liberties taken to fit in the story. I got basically in name only versions of Victor Frankenstein and Abraham Van Helsing who were the two I was most excited about.

I was initially very upset about this with Frankenstein in particular but later forgave the game as it turned out they'd simply given the role of Dr Frankenstein to someone with a different name, and done a genuinely interesting thing with it.

The common route is longer than any of the romance routes (8 chapters plus prologue of common route vs 5 chapters for each romance) which is a bit annoying considering it's the part of the game that gets replayed for every route. It's also, imo, poorly paced and introduces too many side characters most of which don't feature on the majority of routes. This was especially frustrating because I found the main plot incredibly gripping and would be on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happened next... only for the characters to decide to enter an airship race or go to an auction.

My favorite character was Finis, a villain who was ultimately sympathetic. It's hard to talk about his role without spoilers, but I can say that he introduces himself to the heroine, Cardia, as her brother and that he's out of the action in most of the game. Unfortunately.

My play order: Victor Frankenstein, Abraham Van Helsing, Saint Germain, Impey, Arsene Lupin (mandatory last route)
From favorite route to least favorite: Saint Germain, Impey, Lupin, Victor, Van Helsing

I mainly put Van Helsing last because Cardia did a really really stupid thing in it and the "plot" of the route wasn't great. As a character I actually found him more appealing than Victor or Lupin, but the romance was written with one of my least favorite tropes, so yeah.

Spoilers after the cut regarding Frankenstein and Finis mainly

Ultimately, would I recommend this game? I think so, though with some caveats depending on who I was recommending it to.

I've thrown out a bunch of prompts for each character (and a few ship prompts, should you be interested) 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.
