Chocolate Box 2020

Dear author/artist,

Thanks for creating 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've written out some general likes and a few things I like about each pairing, but please don't feel constrained -- I’d much rather read something you had fun writing. Also, any rating is fine.

Prompt mixing is welcome.

General likes:

Competence (physical/intellectual/superpower-related/etc.), plotty casefic, characters rescuing each other, characters rescuing themselves, time-travel/Groundhog Day plots, canon-divergence/for-want-of-a-nail AUs, canon-compliant fic, hurt/comfort, angst, action/adventure, outsider POV, AUs where the characters still have their powers/skills, dimension travel and/or meeting alternate versions of themselves, self-sacrifice, ethical dilemmas, character studies, unreliable narrators.

Relationship likes:

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, jealousy, us-against-the-world, casual physical affection, bedsharing, characters watching each other sleep, one or both characters trying to resist temptation, forbidden romance.

Smut & kink likes:

sex pollen, aliens/bad guys made them do it, characters in a secret/forbidden relationship being caught in compromising situations, oral, fingering, frottage, coming in clothes, semi-public sex, biting/marking.

Opt-ins (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, canonical or noncanonical background pairings, D/s, self-harm/suicidal ideation/suicide, kidfic.

General Art Likes:

vivid colors (if colors are used), characters being physically affectionate with one another (embracing, holding hands, kissing hair or hands, etc), symbolism, visual contrasts, dark/light motifs, elaborate outfits (if applicable to canon), characters fighting next to one another or back-to-back (if applicable to canon). For shippy art, I'd prefer you cap it at an M-rating for anything sexual (see my art DNWs for more detail); on the other end of the spectrum, don't worry too much about whether your art is "shippy enough" as long as the focus is on the requested characters.

DNWs:

one character deliberately non-conning another character within a requested relationship (mutually non-con scenarios like sex pollen or bad-guys-made-them-do-it are fine), m-preg, A/B/O, graphic descriptions of vomit, the spelling "cum" (as opposed to "come").

Art-specific DNWs:

Explicit depiction of genitals (nudity above the waist is fine for all genders, the characters banging each other but with a conveniently placed sheet/houseplant/shadow is fine, sexual activity in general is fine, I just don't want to see their actual bits), vomit, come, graphic gore (PG-13 injuries are fine, the character being bruised and bloody is fine, I just don't want their intestines hanging out or whatever).
