copacetDear author,
Thanks for writing something for me! I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with. The first thing I’d like to say is, feel free to ignore everything in this letter except the DNWs. I tried to come up with a few specific prompts for each fandom/relationship, but while the prompts are all things I’d like to read, I do love surprises! Anything that involves the characters and maybe hits one or two of my likes will delight me. So if any of the prompts happen to grab you, great, but please don’t feel constrained if you have a better idea - I’d much rather read something you had fun writing. Also, any rating is fine.

Characters being intense about each other, ambiguous relationships, characters going into Determinator mode when the other is in danger, pining/UST, loyalty kink, complicated relationships, possessiveness/co-dependency/protectiveness, unspoken jealousy, us-against-the-world, casual physical affection, bedsharing, one or both characters trying to resist temptation, sex-pollen/aliens-made-them-do-it situations leading to an acknowledgement of repressed feelings, forbidden romance
DNWs:
non-con between requested characters, m-preg, ABO, ageplay/infantilism, vore, explicit content involving characters under 16 (references to teen characters being sexually active are fine), vomit.
Things I am fine with (not necessarily requests, but things some people might DNW that are not a problem for me):
character death, unhappy/bittersweet endings, dubcon, infidelity, unrequited feelings, violence, darkfic, fusions with other canons, non-canonical genders & sexualities (trans, asexual, etc.), 2nd-person POV.
General Art Likes:
For ships, I would prefer nothing sexually explicit, but characters kissing/cuddling/holding hands/sharing a bed/etc. would be lovely. For either ships or gen, I'll honestly be happy as long as the two characters are interacting - whether they be arguing, staring at each other from across the room, fighting bad guys together (side-by-side or back-to-back), whatever.

Doctor Who: Eighth Doctor Adventures
Anji Kapoor & Eighth Doctor & Fitz Kreiner
I absolutely love these books, and these three make up one of my all-time favorite Team TARDISes. I’d love to read missing scenes with emotional fallout from the events of one of the novels, some sort of plotty (or wacky) adventure, or anything with the three of them playing off each other.
Eighth Doctor/Fitz Kreiner
I love these two a lot, particularly how much they affect each other. It’s been however many years and I still get verklempt over the fact that, over a hundred years of amnesia, literally the only thing the Doctor remembers about his life is a song Fitz wrote for him. Fitz grows so much as a person through his relationship with the Doctor, and (partly but not only because of all the amnesia), I think Eight does end up more dependent on Fitz than the Doctor usually does with his companions. Anyway, anything with these two would be great - them sharing a quiet moment (I’m fine with it not being explicitly romantic as long as it focuses on their closeness), Fitz reckoning with the realization that his feelings aren’t platonic, etc. I’d love something set during the Time War - feel free to ignore the existence of the War Doctor (and yes, I still cling to the headcanon that Nine is wearing Fitz’s leather jacket)
.House M.D.
Robert Chase & Greg House
The first three seasons are my favorite and I’d love something set during that time period. That said, I think there’s also a lot of interesting material to explore at the end of the show as Chase becomes more clearly House’s successor. You can go angsty with something set during the more fraught periods of their relationship (the Vogler betrayal, the punch, etc.) or maybe something lighter with House noticing Chase’s potential as a diagnostician. Casefic would be excellent. Background acknowledgements of canon ships (or House/Wilson) are fine.
Robert Chase & James Wilson
I think there’s a lot of potential for fun in Chase-Wilson interactions because they’re both a lot more like House than other people usually perceive them to be. Maybe something set pre-series - what did they think of each other during their earliest interactions? Or they have to work together, either on a case or to deal with House’s shenanigans.
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Pietro Maximoff & Wanda Maximoff:
What I enjoyed about Wanda & Pietro in Age of Ultron was their obvious codependency, their us-against-the-world vibe, the shared traumatic backstory and the fact that for years all they had was each other. Anything focusing on their loyalty and devotion to one another would be great. That said, I’m also interested in how they interact with the other Marvel characters & what it means for two people who’ve been relatively socially isolated apart from one another to suddenly need to work with a team, so I’d love something looking at how they’d adjust to being Avengers in a Pietro-lives AU. Outsider POV fic would also be fun, not just because of the touchy-feeliness but because of all the other habits/behaviors they would have picked up after years of living in each other’s pockets.
I'll take anything: pre-canon fic from before or during their time with HYDRA, angsty canon-compliant fic that keeps Pietro's death, AUs where Pietro never dies, or where Wanda manages to resurrect him, etc. I’d love to read a take on Civil War involving Pietro. I am also familiar with the comics if you want to pull from 616/Ultimates/whatever. Background pairings are fine - feel free to include Wanda/Vision (or whatever) as long as the focus is on the sibling relationship.
Art Prompts: them using their powers, Pietro running while carrying Wanda, them together in a Hydra cell, in the streets of Sokovia as children, a glimpse of them both as Avengers in a Pietro-lives!AU.
Pietro Maximoff/Wanda Maximoff:
Incesty takes on anything I mentioned for the & version of their relationship (right above this section) would be excellent. Their relationship doesn’t have to be totally healthy - I tend to read them as pretty codependent/obsessive - but I would like it to be consensual, and I see this version of them as having a lot of trust and respect for each other as well as love. I’d be interested in fic where they’re both sexually inexperienced and start experimenting with each other because they can’t imagine getting vulnerable/intimate with anyone else, or something set during canon where they’ve tried to resist for years and finally cross the line with each other. For darker fic, maybe something focusing on the moral lines they’re willing to cross for one another; for something light, maybe how their relationship brings them comfort during all the trauma they have to live through. Anywhere on the spectrum from sweet to dirtybadwrong is great.
Marvel (Comics)
Lorna Dane & Pietro Maximoff & Wanda Maximoff:
Because this is comics and there isn’t exactly a single consistent continuity, feel free to work in any part of the multiverse, any time period, or any version of the characters - even if it’s an older or more obscure run that I haven’t read yet, I’ll just be happy to have something to add to my to-read list. Also because this is comics, feel free to ignore any canonical plot developments that you don’t like or which would interfere with your story.
I enjoy Pietro and Lorna’s interactions in X-Factor, and I wish Lorna and Wanda had more opportunities to develop a relationship, so any sort of three-way sibling bonding would be lovely - whether it being saving the world together, or taking a break from that kind of world-saving to finally relax, or getting together to bitch about dear old Dad...
Pietro Maximoff/Wanda Maximoff:
As I mentioned above, I’m fine with any universe - 616, Ultimates, the House of M universe, whatever.I totally read Pietro’s reactions to Wanda’s relationships as being motivated by jealousy, so maybe something exploring his angst/guilt/shame over what he believes to be one-sided incestuous feelings (they can be actually one-sided or not, depending on how angsty you want to go). Or any first-time scenario where circumstances require them to have sex (sex pollen, fuck-or-die, aliens made them do it, ritual sex to save the world, etc). Maybe something where they were together when they were younger and surviving alone together, broke up after becoming Avengers, and reconnect again when they’re older and more mature. I’d also be interested to read something in a non-Ultimates universe where their incestuous relationship - current or past - is discovered: their teammates’ reactions, the PR fallout, everybody jumping to the conclusion that Pietro is Tommy and Billy’s father whether or not that’s actually true...
As a side note, I totally thought I had nominated the gen version of their sibling relationship as well and didn't realize my mistake until after I had finished writing my letter, so on the off-chance anyone feels like writing some non-incest, I'm shamelessly including my gen prompts as well (though you could certainly also write these as shippy):
Even when these two are fighting, they’re always intense about each other, so just give me something that explores that fraught-but-ultimately-unbreakable bond. How about something from their youth, traveling through Europe - maybe helping each other deal with their powers manifesting? Or from their superhero careers doing some plain old ass-kicking together? And of course anything depicting the quieter moments in between all the on-page drama and high-stakes battles would be lovely. I wish we could have seen them interacting more with each other in the immediate fallout from House of M, given that they both just made world-shattering decisions for the sake of the other, so I'd love something along those lines (and the same goes for emotional fallout from any of the other crazy storylines they've been put through).

Trump & Impeachment |Trump & Mueller & Impeachment:
I take my escapist fantasies where I can get ‘em. Give me your serious political predictions, your crack, your private daydreams of an end to this nightmare yearning to be free in the form of lighthearted exchange fic. Side pairings of Pence & Slipping On A Banana Peel and/or Nancy Pelosi & The Presidency always appreciated.
The Borgias
Cesare/Lucrezia:
Okay, so I literally just got into this fandom - as in, marathoned the whole show during signups - and am desperate for fic. My favorite part of the show is how obsessed with each other Cesare and Lucrezia are - in particular, I love how devoted Cesare is and how determined he is to give Lucrezia everything he can, which complicates the power dynamic in interesting ways.
Canon-based prompts:
I really enjoy how competent Cesare and Lucrezia become in their respective domains, so a glimpse of them working together to pull off a plot would be lovely. I’d also love outsider POV for this pairing, either someone discovering their relationship, or having uncomfortable suspicions that they are unable to prove. Early-seasons fic with them in denial would be great - I'd love to see something that explored their slide from repression/denial to "aware of their feelings but not acting on them". Alternately, post-show established-relationship fic, historically accurate or otherwise - maybe a fic where they fully commit to their affair while Cesare conquers the rest of Italy and Lucrezia is regent in Naples? I’d also be interested in an AU where they start their sexual relationship earlier - maybe on the night of Lucrezia’s first wedding, something where she decides she’d rather lose her virginity to Cesare than to Sforza. Finally - incest pregnancy, either as post-series fic or canon divergence.
AUs:
How about a daemon AU where they are constantly weirding people out with how much they touch and hold each other's daemons? Or a soulbond AU, where they either accidentally or on purpose create a bond with each other when bonds are usually for romantic couples. Or bad-guys-made-them-do-it/fuck-or-die, where they both end up being really into it.
Art prompts: dancing together, canon-typical demonstrations of physical affection (especially Cesare kissing Lucrezia's hair or face or hands...or lips), riding on horseback, something that invokes the dark/light motif the show liked to use, religious symbolism.
Note: If you want to write something explicit, this is an exception to my general DNW regarding underage: feel free to write smut involving Lucrezia the age she is in the show.
