thisisthemorningDear Chocolate Box author,
Thank you so much for offering one of my pairings! I can't wait to see what you're going to come up with - these are all canons I've loved forever, so I'm super excited for any new fic in any of them. If you've come to this letter via the letters post, my AO3 name is also thisisthemorning :D
I'm absolutely a believer in 'optional details are optional', so if none of my prompts spark your imagination, feel free to come up with something else! I just a have a few things I would love to see in general and a few things I generally don't like to read so I'll put those first of all:
In General
Likes - I'd be happy to see any of these!:
- pre- or post-canon
- happy endings (including AU/fix-it endings)
- friendships or relationships forged through sharing a dangerous situation
- hurt/comfort (including: people getting really beaten up/physically damaged/abused in some way and then being rescued by a loved one; people bravely soldiering on through illness or injury so that they don't let down their friends, winning the day, and finally being overcome by their ailment and having to be cared for, and this ultimately deepening a relationship into romance, deep friendship, or substitute parent relationship - especially if it causes a change of heart about a relationship!)
- long plotty fic
- unresolved sexual tension (that eventually gets resolved through mutual realisation)
- serious injury and recovery
- adventure!
Dislikes:
- first person or second person narrative
- PWPs/lemons
- super fluffy fic
- smut (sex scenes should fade to black, please)
- AUs (eg hipster AU, high school AU, barista AU etc)
- character bashing
Tortall (and Tortall/Emelan)
I've grouped these together since my crossover pairing is also part Tortall!
Pairings requested:
Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau & Nealan of Queenscove
Alianne Cooper/Dovasary Balitang
Alianne Cooper/Saraiyu Balitang
Alianne Cooper & Dovasary Balitang
Keladry of Mindelan & Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak
Alianne Cooper/Daja Kisubo
Prompts:
Alianne/Dovasary and Alianne & Dovasary:
I'd love to see an Aly/Dove relationship that develops before and after the rebellion, or one that only becomes romantic after Dove becomes queen. I love their respect for each other and the way their skills complement each other, and I would love to see that worked into the story - going to each other for advice, or helping each other through stressful times. This would equally work for a friendship fic for them! Bonding over using their brains for good would be wonderful, whether it leads to romance or deeper friendship. For romance, a secret romance between them could be fun, so they could use their espionage skills (and so on) to hide it from the court/Dove's family etc (although when they do get found out nobody is particularly surprised or angry!) I'd prefer it if you don't make any mention of Aly/Nawat :)
Alianne/Daja:
Aly travels to Emelan as Dove's spymaster, or Daja travels to the Copper Isles on her journeys as a smith-mage, and the two of them meet... I would love to see anything about them getting to know each other and falling for each other - letters, repeated chance meetings, electric attraction, stolen kisses in the palace, ending up on the same ship... anything goes!
Kel & Raoul or Alanna & Neal:
For either of these, I'd love to see more of their adventures as knightmaster and squire - what other parts of Tortall did they see? What adventures did they face? Particularly for Alanna and Neal this would be interesting since we don't know much of what they did, but it would also be interesting to see Kel and Raoul travelling without the Own, for example. Alternatively it would be great to see either pairing helping each other through some danger or difficulty as equals and adults rather than as teacher/student? A mentor/mentee power dynamic is fine, but I like the idea of seeing more the shift in those relationships in Kel's or Neal's adulthood.
Long Live the Queen
Pairing requested: Elodie/Briony
Prompts:
So what really happens in the Old Forest? I'd love a story about Elodie and Briony having an adventure there together that turns into more than just Elodie helping out Briony, or something where the Old Forest is where they got to have trysts, or something along those lines. I don't mind if you have Elodie married to someone else and Briony be her secret love affair, or for their relationship to be open, or an open secret - whichever you prefer! I particularly like fics which reference aspects of the game play such as Elodie's classes or the choice-making, so it would be awesome if you could work that in somehow.
