Dear Author: thank you for writing for me! I can't wait to see whether I'll be getting a trick or a treat, and in what fandom. I'm pretty easy to please as far as stories go. I like everything from slice-of-life to epic fics, so if you'd like to go over the word limit, feel free! I'll be happy to get any fics featuring my requested characters, but if you do feel like doing something shippy, I've listed my favorite pairings for each fandom. I dig fluff and happy friendship/romantic fics, and Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I'd love to get something spooky too.
Here is a list of my general kinks: angst, banter, bickering-as-flirting, bonding, camaraderie, competence porn, established relationships (platonic or sexual), humor, hurt/comfort, loyalty in the face of personality friction, misunderstanding and reconciliation, pining, social mores and their subversion
Smut kinks include: blowjobs, confined spaces, consummation after ages of pining, cunnilingus, enemies-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, forced intimacy, loyalty kink, m/m first time, sex pollen, snuggling, tentacles, trust kink, unintentional voyeurism, whipping, voyeurism
(I haven't listed DNWs as it kind of felt unsporting to include them when I requested both tricks and treats for my fandoms, but you can find them in other challenge sign-up letters if you do want to look.)
Anyway, here are some trick and treat prompts for each of my requested fandoms. That said, I love getting surprises, so if you have additional ideas, please do run with them!
Blake & Avery Series – M.J. Carter
Jeremiah Blake, William Avery, Matty Horner
Ships: Jeremiah Blake/William Avery
Tricks: Something is stalking London's dockworkers. Rumors are it's a Hindoo demon. Or Springheel Jack. Or something even darker. Our heroes reunite to investigate.
Matty is having visions. Blake and Avery are called upon to uncover what is causing them, and what they mean.
The fair is in town. It brings back dark memories for Blake. What are they, and what do our heroes do about it?
Treats:
Blake has ties to London's German expat community (because: Blake). He and Avery have an Oktoberfest beer (or two, or...).
It's All Hallows' Eve. What do our heroes think about its traditions and how (do?) they celebrate them?
The fair is in town. What happens when our heroes go?
Onmyoji
Abe no Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, Mitsumushi
Ships: Abe no Seimei/Minamoto no Hiromasa
Tricks:
Hiromasa is haunted by the most horrific demon to ever terrorize the Heian court. What does everyone do about it?
A sutra reading goes dreadfully wrong. What happens when our heroes are brought in to help?
Treats:
Hiromasa is haunted by the cutest demon to ever appear in the Heian court. What does Abe think about this state of affairs, and what does he do next?
Our heroes celebrate Obon.
MCU
Thor, Loki, Yondu Udonta, Drax the Destroyer, Kraglin Obfonteri, Mantis, Peter Quill, Odin, James “Bucky” Barnes, Steve Rogers
Ships: Thor/Loki, Yondu Udonta/Kraglin Obfonteri, Drax the Destroyer/Mantis, James “Bucky” Barnes/Steve Rogers
*For convenience, I broke these prompts out by character sets from the respective movies, but I am more than open to stories that mix and match them!
Tricks:
For the Asgard crew – Loki decides that since Thor loves humans so much, he'll introduce Thor to some Midgardian culture: Halloween tricks. What happens next?
For the Guardians crew – All the members of this gang have lost someone, been lost, or both. What does a haunting look like in outer space?
For the Avengers crew - Nightmares are nothing new to Steve or Bucky. But dreaming the other man's nightmares is. Why is this happening? What (if anything) can they do to solve it?
Treats:
For the Asgard crew - Loki decides that since Thor loves humans so much, he'll introduce Thor to some Midgardian culture: Halloween tricks and treats. What happens next?
For the Guardians crew – The gang goes trick or treating, on Earth or anywhere in the galaxy.
For the Avengers crew – One or both of our heroes crashes a Halloween party in their battle gear. How do the other guests react?
