Chocolate Box 2020

[feckyeslife]

Dear Chocolatier...

I've scavenged a bit of this from my Yuletide letter because I didn't realize sign-ups were running and tonight's the last night!!

Thank you so much for creating something for me! I'm super pumped to see what's in store in February, whether it be art or story :) This has been a year of firsts for me with respect to branching out to new fandom events.

General Likes:

- Artsy style. This could be stylized drawing/rendering or maybe a heavy dose of flowery prose, depending on the medium. It's fun to play around with something different!
- Character study or exploration. How or why does that character think that way? What makes them tick? How do they approach a new situation they've never experienced OR how do they deal with something they've experienced - and messed up - before?
- Emotional hurt/comfort. For some fandoms, physical hurt/comfort might be applicable if it's canon-typical.
- Canon Universe (feel free to play with the timeline or events as needed though)
- Gen, romantic , fluff, drama, tension, whump -- all genres are OK!
- Genderswaps are OK! Queer relationships are wonderful! Poly is also OK.
- Stuck Together Because Reasons. This includes Handcuffed Together, Fake Relationship, Administrative Mistakes, Fake Married for the Tax Break, etc
- 5 + 1 fics
- 1st or 3rd person POV

Universal Do Not Wants:

- Non-Con
- Pregnancy or Kid-Fics (Baby Yoda kind of being the exception since they're canonical)
- Breaking too far from the tone of the original canon. For example, jumping to slapstick comedy in a drama like The Mandalorian is not really what I'm hoping for.
- Modern AU, Zombie AU

The Mandalorian

- Cara Dune & OR / The Mandalorian

I love, love, love my girl Cara. I think she brings great balance to the show and particularly to Mando. Getting to see her and him sharing more of their history and thoughts would be real cute & deep, too.

Hurt/Comfort, Action, Tension, Slice of Life (between tense moments)

Art-Specific Prompt: Something similar to that scene in Mad Max: Fury Road where Furiosa borrows Max's shoulder to steady a shot. Shouldn't or doesn't need to literally be THAT, but the overall idea. Borrowing one another or another's weapon to scrape through the fight.

Star Trek: Discovery

- Mirror Gabriel Lorca/Michael Burnham

This is, uh, my dark horse core ship for ST:Disco. Gimme all the forbidden romance between captain & disgraced officer plus the royal mess of Mirror!verse issues? I'm sweating already.
Secondly, Michael running her hands through Lorca's hair is *chefs kiss* b e a utiful.
I'm definitely more of a fan of putting them (stranding them) in the Mirror!verse alone or in the political nightmare of the Empire. Maybe he's trying to convince her to join him on the throne. Maybe she's the only one who Phillipa named able to ascend if she was murdered. Whatever the idea, I will 100% eat. It. Up!

Hurt/Comfort, Whump, UST, Betrayal. Probably not looking for fluff here, but that's just preference not law.

Kink: YES very OK!!
Dub-Con: OK, though would prefer if by the end it's out of dubious and into just consensual.

Art-Specific Prompt: Listen. Those gold and black outfits are sinful. They're the best thing to ever come out of a Star Trek Mirror!verse episode.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

- Edelgard van Hresvelg/Female Byleth

I'm a simple girl. I see mutual, heart-breakingly genuine love and support between two women? I crave it.
Post-Time Skip is preferred. Missing scenes or showing what actually happens post-game is all up for grabs. How does the Empress ensure she has time with Byleth?
I'm also really partial to Byleth (and Edelgard) having scars from their many battles. Because I feel like that's just something that has to be TRUE, ya know?
Alternatively, AUs are also on the table! I've seen some great ideas for Dragon!Byleth or Vampire!Edelgard. I've got enough of a monster-fucker side to me where I'm here to see where that goes.

Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Romance, Courtship

Art-Specific Prompt: Gifting jewelry or swearing fealty could be a really great composition. Or just literally tenderly touching one another. I honestly love anything with these gals.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015 Film)

- Illya/Gaby, Illya/Gaby/Napoleon, or Illya & Gaby & Napoleon

Canon spy thriller nonsense is my main love for these guys. Slice of life seeing what's happening on their down days is also OK. Beyond that, I'm not suuuuper interested in any other AUs.
They all banter so much and so well! That I think is my core request -- great rapport between them.

Art-Specific: The bright colors and dynamic costuming from the film really stands out to me. That and the overall cinematography with the framing. I don't have any coherent way of making that into a prompt, so it's more of a useless guideline XD
