Shipoween Exchange 2019
Hello anon creator!
My apologies for the letter going up after assignments went out! I'm
As a general note, please feel free to disregard the letter if you already know what you'd like to write/draw based on what fandom/pairing you matched on. I selected fic and art on everything, because I enjoy both! I also selected no theme/spooky/seasonal on everything as well. I also like gen just as well as I like ship fic/romance/porn, so please don’t worry about something not being properly shippy enough for me.
As for spooky things - I really love horror! Kind of general, atmospheric horror, or a lot of the people requested have lived through some terrible things or times. I like body horror, eldritch inter-dimensional horror, hauntings, psychological terrorism, gore, basically anything spooky or scary. Feel free to terrorize people! Rip open the walls between time and space! Raise the dead!
As for seasonal things - I also like the non-horror aspects of the Halloween season, including costumes, demanding candy from strangers, and the idea of remembering/mourning the dead. I also like fall generally! Falling leaves, chill in the air, getting to break out the sweaters and hot drinks and things like that.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Buffy Summers/Kendra Young
I would love a missing scene type thing from before Kendra dies, and I would also love something where she lives! Or maybe Buffy runs into a different dimension’s Kendra? I would also love something where one or both of them is turned - guilt about having to slay them, trying to shove their soul back in, how does vampirism work on a slayer anyway? I would also love something involving dream sharing, or anything that leans on the mystical connection they share as slayers. Or the two of them training together, or learning to fight as a team! I would also love something where Kendra still dies but her ghost is around in some form or another, or the same thing but in AU where Buffy is the one who dies.
Drusilla/Buffy Summers
I love the idea of Drusilla being drawn to Buffy and how different she is - what if she’d managed to turn her, or what if her hypnotism had been a little stronger and she’d been able to control her for a while? Or something with them going at each other in battle. Or something where Drusilla ends up human again, or just somehow gets her soul back, or she has visions of a life that she could have lived with Buffy if things had gone very differently for her. Or Drusilla confusing Buffy with someone from her past? Or trying to torture Buffy until Buffy ends up seeing the world the same way Drusilla does! I would also love something were Buffy ends up some kind of master vampire and decides to keep Drusilla around, by force or by seduction, as her fortune-teller.
Buffy Summers/Rupert Giles
I love their relationship and would like any variety of things with them - I would love slice of life, or trying to have some kind of calmness or normalcy in the midst of fighting evil. Or any kind of weird mishap - switching bodies, Sex Pollen, accidental soul-bonding, etc. Or good old fashioned hurt/comfort - there are so many opportunities in canon, or just have Giles get knocked over the head again or Buffy almost killed by some new eldritch horror. I would also love a story where one of them ends up turned or gets possessed in some other way and the other has to deal with it. I would also love any kind of ghost haunting, or dealing with grief after the other has died. I have read the comics and would enjoy something dealing with that canon if you’re so inclined but I’d also enjoy something post-series that completely ignores it.
Captain Marvel
Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau
Celebrating holidays together! Flying planes together! Raising a kid together! Going on fancy luxurious space vacations that get interrupted by Kree spies together! I would also love something set in the period where they’ve been separated - Maria not really being able to accept that Carol is dead, Carol being incredibly lonely without exactly realizing why, maybe. Or one last goodbye before Carol leaves earth again, or quick visits home over the years. I would also love Maria following her into space at some point, maybe she just lives out there after Monica grows up. Maybe they get space married! Or I would love something where Carol gets called back to Earth because the Kree or some other enemy have kidnapped Maria to try and get at her.
Carol Danvers/Minn-Erva
I would be really interested with something set right when Carol first wakes up with amnesia and there’s already that kind of animosity there and she’s not sure why! I would love hate sex, or training/fighting that escalated into sex, or Carol getting steadily more bloodthirsty the longer she spends in the Empire and Minn-Erva getting into it. Or Minn-Erva resenting the SI telling her to play nice and create emotional ties! Or an AU where the Supreme Intelligence finds out she’s back on earth earlier and sends Minn-Erva in to hunt her down faster before her memories come back and she takes off the power dampner. Or something where Minn-Erva survives the explosion and comes back looking for revenge! Or she survives and does something and it turns into Carol hunting down Minn-Erva.
DC’s Arrowverse
Barry Allen/Leonard Snart
I love both he early season dynamic, where Leonard’s more of a threat, or later once they’re solidly friends even if Leonard isn’t very demonstrative about it. I would love something with them fighting in costume, AUs with different dramatic identity reveals, Cold kidnapping him to keep him one place while they rob people or try to Stockholm him. Or I would also love any kind of role-reversal AU, when Captain Cold is the hero and The Flash is the bank robber he’s trying to catch. Or I would love anything that plays with time travel, especially when their relationship changes so much over time, or finding some other way to bring Leonard back from the dead.
Barry Allen/Leonard Snart/Iris West
Again, I would really love something set at any stage in the relationships here - Barry and Iris are already together and pulling Leonard into it, or something where Barry hasn’t gotten anywhere with either of them and then ends up with both at the same time. For something earlier one, I would love kidnapping gone awry, or teaming up against a villain worse than the Rogues. Or again I would really love time travel! Also, I would love any of those great old-fashioned comic book tropes - alternate dimension versions of each other, dramatic self-sacrifice, power malfunctions, body swaps, power swaps, mind control, Sex Pollen, etc. Or I would also love something domestic and slice of life!
Sara Lance/Kendra Saunders
I would love more of Sara helping Kendra train to be a fighter and help her with her powers/identity issues. They’ve both been through so much tragedy and I would love to seem them bonding over some of it! Or something with them getting stuck together on a mission at some point in the past/future. I’d also love an AU where Sara stayed with Kendra and Ray when they were stranded in the past! Or maybe she just came for visits? Or I’d really like to see something that has Sara running into another incarnation of Kendra in another time period! Or I would love something set in the future with Kendra eventually coming back and joining the team again. Or at least visiting!
Nora Darhk/Ray Palmer
I would love something set early on - something with Ray’s optimism rubbing off on her, or him reaching through to her with everything she's going through being possessed. Or something where she kidnaps him again, or an AU where she just decides to keep him around longer that first time. Maybe some light torture that she feels bad about later? Or what if he’d gone with her right after after they defeat Mallus? I would also love something with the two of them after the Time Bureau catches her! Something with him visiting her or trying to cheer her up while she’s in prison, maybe, or something very dramatic and awful for them after Ray gets possessed! Neron using him and Nora to torture each other somehow would be great. Or something nice and fluffy now that they’re both non-possessed and have time to hang out together!
Doctor Strange
Kaecilius/Karl Mordo
Backstory! I would love training montages, learning magic together, maybe both of them going slightly insane but in different directions. Which one of them was at Kamar-Taj first, and what were their first impressions of each other? I always want more backstory/history for both of them and would love to see how they used to interact with each other and kind of fit into the wider dynamics of the place. I would also love to see something where they used to be close but end up fighting each other after Kaecilius leaves - or some kind of AU where Kaecilius manages to corrupt Mordo into siding with him! Or, in the opposite, an AU where Kaecilius never leaves, or Mordo manages to convince him to stay.
Kaecilius/Stephen Strange
I would love Kaecilius coming back somehow - maybe something involving time travel, or maybe the whole snapping/unsnapping/timeline abuse in Endgame accidentally errodes the line between the living and the dead. Or he comes back as Dormammu’s servant to torture Stephen! Or he escapes the dark dimension on his own somehow? I also love things where he’s dead and just haunting Stephen relentlessly. Or an AU! Stephen ends up in Kamar-Taj earlier or Kaecilius gets corrupted later and they meet on the same side - maybe Kaecilius convinces him to go full Dormammu cult? Or anything with Kaecilius capturing Strange while they’re fighting, or maybe he needs to torture him for some kind o magic ritual.
Karl Mordo/Stephen Strange
I would really love any extended interaction from the timeline of the movie! Mordo training Stephen, them becoming friendly, maybe Mordo talking about how he ended up in Kamar-Taj. Either something that makes it all the more painful that he leaves, or something where they get close enough that he changes course and stays with Stephen and Wong. I would also really love to Stephen trying to change things, looking for different timelines where he comes back, or never leaves at all, or trying magic to 'fix' things. Or something going wrong! Maybe Stephen fucks up the timeline so bad he starts to think Mordo was right! Or something where they're giving it their all fighting each other, but one or both of them still has feelings. Or any kind of enemy-mine type situation after Mordo turns to the dark side!
Stephen Strange/Wong
I LOVED their interaction in the movie and I would love to see more missing scene type things from when Stephen was training. Or something with them figuring out how to run things on their own post-Ancient One! It’s a lot of responsibility and I’d love to see them struggling along as new roommates and trying to keep reality from eating itself. Or something that deals with just how devastating all the losses have been, both personally and in terms of protecting the dimension. Or dealing with the fallout post-Endgame! Maybe now that the Avengers know who they are they keep bothering them with their problems? Or them being kind of harsh to each other’s faces and then super protective in the background. Or just relying on each other as the only people who really understand how insane the universe is!
Dormammu/Stephen Strange
I would love all kinds of things that happened in those near-infinite time loops, or things that happen afterwards! I’m sure Dormammu wants revenge, it’s just a matter of how he gets it - dragging Stephen into sideways dimensions, seeping into his magic, trying to sneak into his head while he’s not paying attention, or trying to corrupt or possess the people closest to him. I love the visuals of the magic they use, and I also love time distortions! Maybe Stephen needs Dormammu’s help and has to go bargaining with some important piece of himself? Or he tries to steal something from the dark dimension and end up trapped? I’d also love to see Dormammu trying a variety of ways to manifest himself in our world.
Game of Thrones
Daenerys Targaryen/Jorah Mormont
I love the loyalty kink, and how Jorah fucked that up so badly when he was spying on her and how he goes to insane lengths to try and get back in her good graces! I would love anything with him trying to prove his loyalty and devotion, or something with Dany taking bloody revenge if he actually does get hurt/killed. I’d also like something gentler with them comforting each other during any one of the awful things they go through together over the course of the series. Or reunions after they’ve been separated! Or, bad end, they both up wights of the Night King. Or they take Westeros together! I’d be interested in how it would change things if Jorah has survived the long night. Or maybe he teaches her how to use a sword after they realize that she’s kind of vulnerable if she gets knocked off the dragon? Or them riding dragons together!
Daenerys Targaryen/Margaery Tyrell
Margaery attempting to get the crown through seduction/marriage - time number four now? She’s probably got the system down pat by now! I’d love an AU where she survived and is trying to change sides and preserve a position for herself, or maybe she just realizes there’s no reasoning with Cersei at this point so she doesn’t have much choice but to throw in with the dragons. Or Dany wins and Margaery has to try and convince her not to murder everybody? Or something where Margaery has to flee Westeros at some point - after Renly dies or Cersei tries to kill her - and throws in with her in Essos. Or an AU where there was no Baratheon rebellion at all, and it’s Margaery trying seduce one of the Mad King’s daughter. Or just showing her around High Garden! Dressing her up in southern fashion!
Hannibal
Alana Bloom/Margot Verger
I like that they’re two people who have gone through unreal levels of horror, and so they can relate to each other in a way that other people can’t! I’d love anything that deals with how they’ve both been marked by their suffering, both mentally and physically. And I would love something where they help each other and eventually overcome all that trauma together to be happy, or I would also love something where they both spiral downwards into murder and despair. I would also love domesticity, or how close they manage to come to domesticity with the threat of Hannibal still hanging over them. I’d also love something with riding crops/canes!
Jack Crawford/Hannibal Lecter
I love all phases of their relationship - like everyone else Hannibal interacts with, you have that great period where they’re friends and Jack thinks Hannibal is great even while Hannibal is taking great pleasure out of manipulating him, and then you have that period of doubt and then the absolute rage at the betrayal. I would love them working on a case, or having some kind of elaborate dinner that doubles as a metaphor for something else, or anything with Hannibal messing with his head. Or taunting Jack while Jack is trying to hunt him down! Or I’d love anything to do with those fight scenes, I loved how brutal they were.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Bor Gullet/Bodhi Rook
I love all the varying descriptions/depictions of the experience of having Bar Gullet in your head that I’ve seen so far, and I would always love more! How much of the experience stays with Bodhi, and what would have happened if Jyn and Cassian hadn’t shown up to rescue him? Are there things that he’s lost that he doesn’t even realize are gone yet? I would be happy with straight up tentacle porn, or psychological horror - I really enjoy that with the Bor Gullet it's a violation of both the mind and the body at the same time.
Galen Erso/Bodhi Rook
How long did they know each other before Galen asked him to betray the Empire - was it years, basically Bodhi's whole career as a pilot? Or was it something fast and desperate? I would love something dealing with their life on Eadu and working for the Empire, even before Galen ever brings up the idea of defecting. How does Galen know he can trust him, or does he just not have any choice but to go for it? I would also love an AU where they get to survive - maybe they successfully rescue Galen on Eadu, or maybe they don't have to rescue him because Bodhi takes Galen himself instead of just a holo message. I would also love something where they're captured together by the Empire, or even by the rebels if they aren't believed.
Galen Erso/Lyra Erso
I want more about how they met and how their relationship started - what did they see in each other, what was it like when they decided to get married, what did her family think? How did they decide they wanted a child? I like pregnancy fic, anything set while she’s pregnant with Jyn would be great! Or I would love a scene of them exploring the galaxy together, especially crystal caves! Or fic on Vallt - huddling for warmth together before the coup, or prison fic, writing letters, or just the immediate fallout of all of that. Or I would really love something domestic set on Coruscant or Lah-mu - or an AU where Lyra survives! Either she’s capture with him or they meet again years later once Galen escapes. Or she rescues him!
Galen Erso/Orson Krennic
I would love something about how they met and got close when they were younger - what brought two such radically different people together in the first place? How does Orson end up so desperate for him? Or how did they interact in that long time on Eadu - how did Galen convince him he was committed to the project? Or I would love an AU! What if Krennic hadn't let Galen out of his sight long enough to meet Lyra? Or what if Galen had convinced Orson not to join the military in the first place, how would things have shaken out? Or what if Galen hadn't been killed on Eadu - I would love more confrontation about the sabotage. Or what if Galen had never escaped to Lah'mu in the first place? Or what if he'd joined up with the Alliance, and Krennic had ended up their prisoner?
Galen Erso/Orson Krennic & Jyn Erso
Same as the above, with Jyn added in! Either Orson trying to pretend she’s not there on Coruscant, or some AU where he arranges an ‘accident’ for Lyra and how does that work out for him? Or they do find her on Lah’mu and she’s taken with Galen to the Empire - how does that change how everything goes down? Or an AU where Galen dies and it’s just Jyn and Orson and his ghost.
Jyn Erso/Orson Krennic
So much rage! So many Galen-and-Lyra-shaped issues! What if one of them ended up a captive of the other side at some point - Rogue One manages to take him alive and take him back to the Alliance for interrogation, or Jyn is captured at some point on Jedha or Eadu or Scarif and brought to him for questioning. Or what if Jyn had been raised in the Empire and Orson has to deal with having her around as a hostage all the time? Or she wants to be an Imperial power in her own right? If she's raised with her dad does she end up a valuable scientist for the project? Or they end up working together at some point - to save Galen, to fuck over Tarkin, whatever! Does Jyn get a cape???
Solo
Enfys Nest/Qi’ra
Does Enfys maybe start to think of Qi'ra as someone who might one day decide to help people regardless of the risk? Does she ever spare Qi'ra at some point, and if so, will she ever have reason to regret not killing Qi'ra when she had the opportunity? And does Qi'ra need to kill Enfys, either because she's a threat, or because she's a potential weakness if Qi'ra lets herself get too pulled in by the girl under the mask? Or what if, despite all the terror caused by the Crimson Dawn, they can find some common ground in keeping the Empire destabilized enough that it needs the syndicates? Or what if they both survive the fall of the Empire, and end up meeting again afterwards? Or what if they're trying to seduce each other for some greater goal - does it work, or do one/both of them catch feelings? And I love both the masks/bike look of the Cloud Riders and the slick, dark, polished look of the Crimson Dawn.
Lady Proxima/Qi’ra
I would love something set after Han escaped and Qi'ra was left behind - what kind of punishment did she face for that? How did it change her position in the gang? I would also love something with Qi'ra interacting with Lady Proxima after she's risen up in the Crimson Dawn - does she take revenge? Does she keep her peace, if Lady Proxima is useful to her or the Crimson Dawn somehow? I would love to read some messed up/weird xeno for this too - maybe it's just part of responsibilities as Head Girl, or maybe Proxima just has a special attraction to her, or maybe the punishment for trying to leave the gang is that you get filled up with worm eggs while everyone watches???
Star Trek: TOS
Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
I love the two of them, and how much they care about each other even though they're both so weird about actually admitting it out loud. STTOS started so many of the great sci-fi/drama tropes I love, and I would love more of any of them - pon farr, mind-altering alien drugs, either on of them getting mind controlled by aliens, either one of them sacrificing themselves for the other, them getting into really heated arguments about which one of them is going to be doing the self-sacrificing, etc. One of them tending to the other while they’re sick/injured! I’d also love something involving Spock’s telepathy - feel free to make up whatever Vulcan quirks you want. Or something with McCoy teasing Spock and Spock teasing him right back while refusing to admit that's actually what he's doing. I would also love anything with their mirror selves!
Star Wars: Thrawn
Ar’alani/Vah’nya
I love these two specifically, and I’d also love to read more about the navigators and how they fit into the Chiss hierarchy generally! How long has Vah’nya been serving under Ar’alani, and what was their relationship like at first? What would happen between them if Vah’nya’s powers faded to the point where she was no longer useful as a navigator? What kind of uniform does Vah’nya have? I’d also love something that uses that possible force connection! Or are there Chiss taboos dealing with navigators getting into relationships? Or just about fraternization? I’d also love something with Vah’nya getting kidnapped or hijacked or something - by aliens, or by rival Chiss factions trying to steal her away.
Vah’nya/Eli Vanto
I love the cultural differences! Like Eli kind of hopes she’s into him but he’s not entirely sure? I’d like them meeting, and her kind of warming up to him, or more about how Vah’nya sees the relationship from her point of view. Or trying to manage a relationship with a person from a completely unknown culture! I would like any kind of xeno or weird Chiss uses of the force. Or what happens to them in the future - what if they end up on different sides of thing at some point? What if Vah’nya ends up with Eli in the Empire/Republic at some point? Or I would love drama, maybe one of them gets injured or kidnapped and the other is upset/has to rescue them!
Ar’alani/Vah’nya/Eli Vanto
Basically the two pairings above, combined! I do like the idea of Eli being in kind of over his head. Maybe it’s a Chiss bonding thing! Maybe it’s Ar’alani’s way of taking someone who was Thrawn’s and making sure he’s properly hers now! Or something set far in the future, when they’ve all been fighting together for decades.
Thrawn/Eli Vanto
I would love missing scenes from the novels! I'd love something set early on, before Eli is even really sure he likes Thrawn but he’s still kind of craving approval, or something set later on once they’re going more steady. Eli having to explain cultural differences, or being horrified that Thrawn isn’t picking up on the workplace dynamics of the Empire and is about to get them both executed for treason! Their last night together! Eli being so thrown that Thrawn wouldn’t, like, hug him or anything when they finally met up again was amazing, let him get a hug! Or something that deal with he power difference? Something where they meet up again, or Eli thinks Thrown is dead, or they fake thrown’s death together! I’d also love something with them navigating Chiss politics together. Or Eli in the ascendency finding out more about why Thrawn left/was driven out in the first place.
