All In The Family Letter
Dear author/artist,
Dear author/artist,
Thanks for making 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 because I know that I personally as a writer sometimes completely blank when given a vague prompt, and having something specific would make me less anxious in case I couldn’t come up with anything else. 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 completely 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.
(If you’re planning on making art or a vid - I am completely happy to get either of those, but I’m a little unsure how to prompt for those, so if that’s what you’re making, just include the requested characters and otherwise surprise me!)
DNWs: M-preg, underage (as in, an adult character with a character under 16; it’s fine if both are teenagers or the younger one is 16+ even if it isn’t technically legal), non-con between requested characters, A/B/O, serious bodily horror, graphic depiction of bodily fluids, including scat/watersports, ageplay/infantilism, vore.
Things I am fine with (not necessarily requests, but things some people might DNW that are not a problem for me): dubcon of the sex pollen/aliens-made-them-do-it variety, D/s, bondage, infidelity, unrequited feelings, violence, character death, gaslighting, darkfic, pre-slash, crossdressing, fusions with other canons (even ones I'm unfamiliar with, as long as the plot is clear in-story).
Likes: competence (physical/intellectual/superpower-related/etc.), plotty casefic, time-travel/Groundhog Day plots, canon-divergence/for-want-of-a-nail AUs, soulmate AUs, Sentinel/Guide AUs, canon-compliant fic, power dynamics, pining/UST, 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, loyalty kink, self-sacrifice, ethical dilemmas, characters knowing each other really well, complicated relationships, jealousy/possessiveness/co-dependency/protectiveness, us-against-the-world, casual physical affection, bedsharing.
Okay, on to specific prompts. Like I said before, feel free to totally ignore these if you have some other inspiration - I’m easy to please, and I’m sure I’ll love whatever you come up with.
Prompts: I always love fix-it fic for the series finale (either a post-finale reunion or a canon-divergence that doesn’t end with Neal faking his death). Casefic where Elizabeth ends up getting involved in the investigation would also be great, if you don't want to go the shippy route. I also adore seeing outsider POVs on their relationship.

Heroes:
Peter/Nathan is my OTP for this show. I love how even though their relationship is complicated and frequently pretty fucked-up, they are always each other's most important person. Angst is good, either the canonical their-lives-end-up-pretty-terrible kind or the guilt/repression/denial-over their-poorly-repressed-incestuous-feelings-for-one-another kind. Both hopeful endings and dark endings are fine with me. This is also one of those relationships where the "jealousy/possessiveness/co-dependency/protectiveness" part of my likes is very relevant. I'm up for threesomes involving other characters as well, as you can see from my requests, but I'd like some acknowledgement of how fucked-up the incest aspect of their relationship is if anyone else is finding out about it. I'm good with plotty, smutty, whatever, and if you do go the plotty route, feel free to involve any other members of the ensemble.
Prompts: First-time fic, either pre-series or during (or after!) the canon timeline, depending on how long you think they were able to repress their feelings. I am endlessly open to interpretations of what, exactly, happened in that treehouse. Fix-it fic for Nathan's death would also be great (either canon divergence where he doesn't die in the first place, or an AU/post-series fic where Peter figures out how to bring him back). Also, and I realize this is super specific and out-there so feel free to ignore, but I've always kind of wanted a Sentinel/Guide AU where everyone thinks Nathan is a Sentinel and Peter is his Guide, but it's actually the other way around and they just pretend in public because it fits Nathan's image better. I would also love to read an AU where they actually get to use their superpowers together on a regular basis, for whatever heroic (or nefarious, if it's a dark AU) purposes. Or maybe a fic where things don't go to hell quite as badly and they have to navigate hiding their relationship during Nathan's political career.
If you're writing Angela/Nathan/Peter: maybe something focusing on Angela's Manchurian-Candidate-style manipulation of her sons, or something where Nathan realizes she wants Peter and offers himself up in Peter's place only for Peter to later find out about it.
If you're writing Heidi/Nathan/Peter: maybe a fic where she finds out about the whole superpower thing and also the whole incest thing at around the same time, or either a triad or poly-vee situation where she finds out they're together and is initially horrified but eventually decides she's willing to share.

House:
I know a lot of the things I listed in my general likes above aren’t really relevant to this canon, so I’ll just say that any exploration of the relationship between Chase and his father would be great. Feel free to bring in any other members of the ensemble, and I’m fine with basically any background pairings. I also enjoy the House-Chase mentor/mentee/quasi-filial relationship and would love to see something exploring that in comparison/contrast to Chase and Rowan.
Prompts: Maybe an AU where they end up reuniting at a conference or something and Chase finds out about the cancer, or a pre-series fic exploring their relationship before Chase came to PPTH. It could also be interesting to see an explanation for why Rowan made a phone call to House given what we see of their relationship later on (Did he do it because he cared about Chase, or about the family’s professional reputation? Why would House be swayed by a phone call - did he just hire Chase assuming it would be fun to torment the spoiled rich kid into resigning? Or was there some other reason? Was Rowan actually asking House not to hire Chase? etc).
White Collar:
I requested Neal/Peter/Elizabeth, but any fic involving all three of them will make me happy, regardless of whether it’s gen, preslash, a poly triad, v-shape relationship, a focus on Peter/Elizabeth as happy marrieds with their friendship with Neal completely platonic, whatever. Any combination of romantic and platonic that you feel like writing; it doesn't have to be shippy! Things I like about these characters are the power dynamics, the way their different ideologies play out in their relationships, the loyalty among the three of them (and how it means different things to each person), the sweetness of the relationships (especially between Peter and Elizabeth), the complicated trust issues, the general mix of obsession/affection/amusement/exasperation/mutual respect between Peter and Neal, and the way all three of them genuinely like one another even when things are complicated.
Prompts: I always love fix-it fic for the series finale (either a post-finale reunion or a canon-divergence that doesn’t end with Neal faking his death). Casefic where Elizabeth ends up getting involved in the investigation would also be great, if you don't want to go the shippy route. I also adore seeing outsider POVs on their relationship.
