Multifandom Trope Exchange 2018 Letter

[rosecake]

Hi anon ♥!

I'm rosecake on AO3 and rose-cake on Tumblr. Please feel free to ignore the letter if you already know what you'd like to write/draw based on the characters/tags we matched on, everything here is just suggestions! I'm into a very wide range of tone and story/art types - I like comedy, I like tragedy, I like fluff, I like soul-crushing angst, I like filthy porn, I like gently hand-holding, I like established relationships, I like getting together stories, I like realistic art, I like cartoon art, I like Eastern and Western styles, etc, etc.

Also, I am a very big fan of both gen and pairing fic! If you would rather write any of the "/" relationships below as gen please feel free, there's absolutely no need to worry about something not being shippy enough for me.

For everything prompted below I selected "Canon Compliant Art", "Canon Compliant Fic", "Canon Divergent Art", and "Canon Divergent Fic", unless I missed one somewhere. I do like a lot of AUs as well, but generally ones that keep some aspect of the fanastic/science fiction in their execution - I'm not a big fan of standard coffee shop/high school/college AUs where everyone is a normal current day person, but I do like time period/setting switches. Things like having Buffy hunt vampires in space, or having Star Wars be a high-fantasy setting, would all be really appreciated! And for art I like every kind of character/costume redesign imaginable.

Anyway, some of the tags I listed below I might have missed in the actual signup because I was doing it very quickly, I AM SO SORRY I promise I'm going to stop doing my signups at the last second. If you would like more prompts for a specific tag let me know, I could tl;dr for a lot longer than I did.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
accidental demon summoning, blood drinking, buried alive, captivity - kidnapping, demonic possession, dimension travel, fairy tale curses, ghost - character haunts other character(s), magic powers - sex magic, self sacrifice - sacrificing for the greater good, sex pollen, shared dreaming, soul bonds, time loops, trapped together, vampires -characters turned into vampires

Buffy Summers & or / Kendra Young
I would love something where Kendra survives - where does their relationship go then? How does that change the course of Buffy's life? I would love anything with them learning to be a team and getting to fight vampire crime together. I'd also love something where they pull a living Kendra out of another timeline or dimension. Or, I would love something where either one of them is turned and the other has to deal with that - do they shove a soul back in the other, or just have to accept that their friend is gone? I would also love something where Kendra still dies - slayers have dreams about the others, does Buffy ever have dreams about Kendra's life? Or does Kendra's ghost try and help her out? Or, what if Buffy dies and it's Kendra who has to take her place on the Hellmouth and figure out how to carry on her legacy? I'd also love anything that leans in on that mystical slayer connection they share.

Buffy Summers & or / Rupert Giles
I loved their relationship so much - I would love slice of life, with them dealing with everything involved in fighting evil and trying to have a normal life in between, or any kind of weird magical mishaps they might have to deal with, and there's always so many good hurt/comfort opportunities with them. Or, what if one of them gets turned, or ends up possessed in some other way? How does the other one deal with it? Or I would love any kind of haunting stories, or one of them having to deal with the grief after the other has died. I would also love any kind of magic altering their normal behavior, and then them having to deal with the consequences, or having it accidentally create some kind of connection they hand't anticipated.

Rupert Giles/Ethan Rayne
Ahhh, old friends turned to enemies, my narrative kryptonite. For these two I would love something set at any point in the length of their relationship - when they were younger, and still into doing dark magic (and other things!) together, or by the time they're older and Ethan's threatening the people he cares about now. Or did they ever meet up again in between? How did that go? Or, I would really love something where they're forced to work together by circumstances, and see how that affects them. I would also love Ethan coming back to haunt Giles after he dies, or some kind of dimensional travel - to a version of the world where they both went full evil together, or one where Ethan decided to redeem himself. Or I would love anything with Ethan trying to pull Giles back to him through magic or other nefarious means.




Dollhouse
amnesia, betrayal, captivity - failed escape/rescue attempt, falling for the enemy, fate worse than death, forced intimacy, ghosts - character haunts other character(s), memory alteration, mind games, missions gone wrong, sanity slippage, stockholm syndrome, trapped together, unequal relationships, unhealthy coping mechanisms, villain wins, workplace sex

Adelle DeWitt/Laurence Dominic
I love how twisted their relationship is, and how wrapped up they are in each other despite their attempts to pretend otherwise. I'd love to know how Dominic first infiltrated the Dollhouse, and how he first wormed his way into her good graces. I'd love any sort of casefic with them working together in the early days, or an AU about what would have happened if he hadn't been caught when he was? I also love the every aspect of the Attic and would love any kind of nightmare fic or art set there. I also love the loss of bodily autonomy involved in imprinting, and I would love anything based on that. I would also love Epitaph fic/art! What exactly did Adelle want him to do for her? And what happened if/when he got back? 

Adelle DeWitt/Echo
I would love to see something that handles the shift from Adelle seeing her as just a doll to seeing her as an actual person. Or, I would love something dealing with imprints - she imprints someone into Echo for a night, for something she needs, and Echo remembers it later. Or maybe there's a glitch, and a normal sexy date night goes horribly wrong? Or maybe something where Echo ends up doing something to her under Caroline or Boyd's influence. Maybe Echo's so used to sexual violation that she thinks it's kinder than physical abuse? Or maybe it's not really Echo at all - maybe it's Adelle's own guilty conscience taking on Echo's form when Rossum has Adelle locked in the Attic for disobedience. Or maybe something with them coming together to fight against Rossum! I would also love something about them settling into a peaceful life after Rossum is gone, and how they handle everything that's been done up to that point.  




The Flash
bathing together, bonding over shared trauma, captivity - kidnapping, costume swap, dimension travel, facial shaving, falling for the enemy, ghosts - character haunts other character(s), hand-cuffed together, hurt/comfort, missions gone wrong, self-sacrifice - sacrificing for the greater good, sex pollen, stranded in enemy territory, time travel, wedding night, whump, vampires - characters turned into vampires

Barry Allen/Leonard Snart/Iris West
All three together, or I would also like any combination of just two of them! Either something set earlier one when Leonard is still a menacing figure, or something set later once the relationship has evolved. For something earlier on, I would love kidnapping, or teaming up against worse villains. I would also love time travel - Captain Cold from the first season winds up in the future and is confused when the Flash and his girlfriend are like "Oh my god you're alive ;___;" at him? Also, I love all fun comic book tropes - sex pollen, dimensional travel, dramatic self-sacrifice, power swaps, body swaps, mind control, one of them gets turned into a vampire, etc. I would also love something soft and on the domestic side!




Final Fantasy
alternate reality - dreaming of another world, captivity - captured together, dimension travel - trying to find a dimension that's not doomed, fairy tale curses, fever dreams, hand-cuffed togethers, hurt/comfort, last stand, loyalty - king & lionhearted, magic powers - sex magic, missions gone wrong, pining, self-sacrifice - sacrificing for the greater good, shared dreaming, stranded in enemy territory, timeloop, time travel

Lunafreya Nox Fleuret/Nyx Ulric
I would love any kind of missing scene in the movie, or Luna thinking back on things before she dies. Or maybe she has visions/dreams of other worlds that could have been? Or she's trying to figure out a way that things could have gone where everyone she cares about actually survives? Or just any kind of canon-divergence AU where they both live for a little longer! I would really love Nyx acting as her bodyguard as she goes about trying to awaken the Astrals. Getting attacked by Daemons, or getting caught by Glauca or other enemies. I would love anything with them trying to survive together after the world has gone to hell, or trying to deal with their attraction in the face of the fact that Luna's already supposed to be marrying someone else.




Marvel Cinematic Universe
accidental demon summoning, betrayal, blood drinking, demonic possession, dimension travel, dream sex, fairy tale curses, falling for the enemy, fever dreams, horror - cosmic horror, magic has a cost, magic powers - sex magic, magic rituals - blood magic rituals, mind games, sanity slippage, shared dreaming, time travel, trapped together, unhealthy coping mechanisms, villain wins

Kaecilius/Stephen Strange
Re-watching the movie always leaves me really desperate for more interaction between the two of them! I would love Kaecilius coming back some how, or an alternate version of how things went in the movie. What would have happened if Stephen had ended up learning magic in Kaecilius's cult after failing to find Kamar-Taj? Or what if Kaecilius hadn't split with the Ancient One before Stephen shows up? I would also love something involving time travel, possibly with Stephen meeting Kaecilius before he got lost in the Dormammu cult business, or even before he got involved with magic at all. Or something where he comes back! As Dormammu's servant, sent to kill Stephen? Or maybe he escapes somehow on his own? I would also love something where he's still trapped or dead and is haunting Stephen through the dimensions. Or I would love anything using magic as an excuse for smut - dark rituals, magic sex pollen, etc.

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 revealing 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. I would also love something where something goes really wrong with one of their spells, and they have to reach out to each other for help! Or something where they're giving it their all fighting each other, but one or both of them still has feelings. Also, again, I really love just using magic as an excuse for sex, and how that can affect their relationship.




Rogue One
abandonment issues, alternate reality - dreaming of another world, bonding over shared trauma, captivity - captured together, captivity - failed escape/rescue, everybody lives nobody dies, ghosts - characters haunt other character(s), horror - survival horror, hurt/comfort, last stand, missions gone wrong, on the run, self-sacrifice - sacrificing for the greater good, shared dreaming, soul bonds continue after death - one character is a ghost, stranded in enemy territory, touch-starved, trapped together, whump

Galen Erso/Lyra Erso & Jyn Erso
I would love more of their early days as a family, either on Vallt, or later when they're adjusting to life on Coruscant or Lokori. There was such much moving around during the Clone Wars, how did that affect all of them? Or I would love slice-of-life about how they lived while they were on Lah'mu. Or, I would really love an AU where they were all captured by Krennic together! Or what if they'd never escaped to Lah'mu in the first place? How do they stay a family in the Empire? Or what if, instead of going into hiding, they'd joined up with Saw's group? Or I would really love something where they all get forcefully separated but none of them die and they end up finally reunited after years of separation. Or I would love any kind of ghost stories with them, where whoever dies is still clinging to what's left of their family.

Galen Erso/Bodhi Rook
We have so little information on how their relationship went down, we just know how important it ended up being! I want more and I love basically all versions of it. How long did they actually know each other for? How did they see each other? How does Galen convince Bodhi to defect? What if all that kyber crystal had some kind of weird force side-effects? Does Bodhi already have his own reasons to be disloyal even before they met, or is it something he mostly does out of personal affection/loyalty? Is Galen worried about sending him off into danger, or does he think Bodhi's going to better off outside the Empire? What if they had left Eadu together? Or what if Bodhi had been caught and never got the chance to deliver the message? What if he and Jyn had been able to rescue Galen when they came back? I would also love something set in the future where they've both survived! Either more missions and drama in the Rebellion, or just slice-of-life with them on their own.

Jyn Erso & Lyra Erso
I would love to read more about them when Jyn was a young child, or maybe something interacting with the people in Lyra's life - her friends, or what if Jyn had gotten a chance to meet her grandmother? Or, I will always want more AUs with Lyra surviving Lah'mu. Either she goes with Jyn and has the chance to raise her to adulthood, or at least for a little longer before the Empire gets her, or something where she's kidnapped with Galen and they don't see each other until years later. I would love to see them doing missions together, if they end up with the Partisans or the Alliance (or the Cloud-Riders???). Or I'd also love something with Jyn as an adult reflecting on her memories of her mother, or on the connection they still have through the necklace, or something involving Lyra's ghost. Or, the other way around - if Jyn had died, how would Lyra have dealt with that?

Jyn Erso/Bodhi Rook
Their lives got so entangled in each other at the end, and I would love for them to have more time together! I'd love something that builds on their different relationships with Galen and/or Saw, or any missing scenes with them after the events of Jedha or Eadu. I'd also love any kind of AU where they survive the end of the movie, either alone or with the rest of Rogue One. What kind of relationship would they have, what kind of people would they turn into? Was Jyn the sort of person Bodhi expected from listening to Galen? Or I'd love an AU where they met earlier. What if Bodhi had been sent to look for her earlier, while she was still with Saw? Or what if Jyn had been a captive of the Empire on Eadu with her father when Bodhi met him? 

Jyn Erso/Bodhi Rook & Galen Erso
Basically all of the above, but with Galen! I find the combination of the three of them so interesting because Galen's obviously so important to both of them, but in a really different way to each, and they've also got such radically different experiences of him at this point. Also, I just really want all three of them to get to be together for a while, whether it ends in healing family fluff or just more trauma and death.




Rogue One
amnesia, betrayal, captivity - kidnapping, dimension travel, enemy mine - we used to be friends, failing to tame the beast, forced intimacy, hanahaki disease, horror - cosmic horror, hurt/comfort - comforter caused the hurt, lima syndrome, memory alteration, mind games, obsessive love, sanity slippage, stockholm syndrome, time travel, torture - harmed to punish another, trading sex in exchange for a favor, unhealthy coping mechanisms, voyeurism, villain wins, violating moral principles for a loved one

Galen Erso/Orson Krennic
I really love fic about any stage of their relationship! I always really love reading more about what their early relationship was like, before all the tragedy got in the way. Or I'd like more of them on Coruscant, with Krennic trying so hard to keep things together and keep Lyra out of the way while still keeping Galen in the dark about basically everything. I would also love something about Krennic after the Ersos escape Coruscant! How did that affect him, how much of his life did finding Galen again consume? Or I'd love something traumatic set right after Lah'mu while the worst of the despair and anger over Galen losing his family is still fresh. Or how did things go for them over time on Eadu? Did Galen start out on Eadu, or did they have some other base of operations on Jedha or someplace in between Lah'mu and Eadu? Or, what would have happened if Galen hadn't died on Eadu, or his sabotage was caught sooner, or he'd somehow managed to convince Orson to flip sides?

Galen Erso/Orson Krennic & Jyn Erso
Basically everything above, but with the added drama of having Jyn involved! What if she'd been taken with her father on Lah'mu, how would things have gone? Would she have been used as a lever to make him more compliant? Would Galen have risked going against the Empire if he knew Jyn would be punished for it? What if the Death Star was never destroyed? Or, what if he'd managed to get Orson to defect from the Empire at some point sooner, or if Lyra hadn't been there to point out Orson's lies back on Coruscant?



Star Trek: Discovery
age-gape relationships, bathing together, betrayal, captivity - captured together, captivity - failed escape/rescue, dimension travel, fever dreams, horror - cosmic horror, horror - survival horror, hurt/comfort, missions gone wrong, on the run, self-sacrifice - sacrificing for the greater good, shared dreaming, stranded in enemy territory, time travel, tortured - harmed to hurt another, trapped together, undercover as a couple, violating moral principles for a loved one

Michael Burnham & or / Philippa Georgiou 
I would love more about Michael's early experiences with Philippa on the ship, and what it was like for Philippa to help her through not just life in Starfleet, but life among humanity in general. Do Michael's early impressions of her match her later affection for her? Or, what if Philippa had survived - what would the reckoning for Michael's mutiny have looked like then? How would their relationship have gone from there? Or, what if Michael had been the one to die in the pilot, and Philippa had survived - how would Philippa have dealt with that ending to their relationship? I would also love all the standard Captain & loyal First Officer Starfleet tropes, starring Philippa and Michael! Michael not approving of the Captain going on all the dangerous missions, Michael dramatically sacrificing herself to save Philippa, Philippa doing the same for Michael, both of them are captured by aliens, there's some kind of forced mind-meld, one of them thinks the other is dead, etc.!

Michael Burnham & or / Mirror Philippa Georgiou 
I would enjoy them interacting more in the Mirror Universe - maybe Michael has to pretend to be her Mirror self for longer, or maybe Mirror Philippa keeps her trapped even after finding out that she's an imposter. And I would love all the confused feelings that go with that! What does the Emperor do to her if she has her in the power for longer? How far would Michael go to try and keep up the charade, if it meant keeping her friends safe? Or I would also love something set after Mirror Philippa comes back to the regular universe! Do they run into each other? Does Mirror Philippa make sure that they do? If Mirror Philippa ends up committing atrocities, maybe even hurting her friends, how does Michael handle that, knowing that she was the one that saved her? 




Star Trek: TOS
amnesia, captivity - captured together, captivity - failed escape/rescue, dimension travel, hand-cuffed together, hurt/comfort, memory alteration, missions gone wrong, pining, secret revealed, self-sacrifice - sacrificing self for the greater good, sex pollen, shared dreaming, soul bonds, soul bonds continue after death - one character is a ghost, stranded in enemy territory, torture - harmed to punish another, touch-starved

Leonard "Bones" McCoy & or / Spock
I love both of them, I've been re-watching TOS for years and I never get tired of their relationship! I really love how much they clearly care about each other even though they're both weird in their own ways about admitting it. I love all the classic tropes - pon farr, they get captured together by hostile aliens, one of them tries to dramatically sacrifice himself to save the other, them getting into really heated arguments about it, etc. I also really love tropes that make use of Spock's telepathy, or the fact that McCoy carried his katra. Unexpected side-effects of telepathic contact, like soul-bonding or shared dreaming, would be great! I would also really love anything with their mirror versions.




Supergirl
accidental demon summoning, alternate reality - dreaming of another world, amnesia, bonding over shared trauma, captivity - captured together, costume swap, everybody lives nobody dies, horror - survival horror, hurt/comfort, missions gone wrong, sanity slippage, stranded in enemy territory, torture - harmed to punish another, trapped together

Alex Danvers & Kara Danvers & J'onn J'onzz
Especially after the last season, I really want more of the three of them together, and the family they've build with each other. Maybe grieving M'yrnn? Or please feel free to write something where M'rynn isn't dead and is still with them! I would love anything involving missions, either gone wrong and ending in hurt/comfort, or something that shows off their skills, or something where they get to celebrate things going right for one. I would also love something that deals with how they all come from very different worlds. Or I also really like J'onn having to impersonate one of the others for reasons! I also like how there's so much opportunity for Martian/Kryptonian telepathy/physiology/artifacts/ghosts/whatever to cause drama for all three of them.
