Dear Writer,

Happy Yuletide! I love all these fandoms very much and I'm super excited to see what you come up with!

This letter and my optional details are, indeed, 100% optional indeed and are only meant to serve as possible inspiration if you're looking for it. Aside of DNWs, feel free to disregard everything if you've already got an idea!

I hope you have fun writing, and thank you!




GENERAL LIKES:

canon/canon divergence settings, character/relationship studies, unreliable narrators, mutual obsession!!, codependency, characters learning to be happy, identity porn, found families, best friends in love, antagonists in love, slow build, competence porn, female friendships and female agency

on the more light-hearted side of things, i love banter and silly antics and domesticity and i love all the usual cliché tropes (mutual pining, mistaken to be dating, fake relationship, accidental relationship, accidental marriage, arranged marriage, marriage of convenience, soulbonding, bed-sharing, temporary amnesia, mistaken identity shenanigans, etc.)

on the more serious side of things: loyalty kink!!, king and lionheart dynamics!, people on a mission, morally gray characters, amoral characters, righteous characters, where do you put the line and what do you believe in and what are you willing to compromise on and what are you wiling to sacrifice, just the different ways people relate to right and wrong and guilt and responsibility and all that jazz; time travel shenanigans; unhealthy dynamics as long as they're recognized as such by the text if not by the characters; characters who aren't quite there yet—there being a healthy dynamic or being good or happiness—but want to work together or push each other towards it


GENERAL DISLIKES:

unhappy or generally depressing endings, character bashing, rape/non-con, (permanent) major character deaths, unrequited love, cheating*, outright PWPs, nominated characters being romantically or sexually involved with people outside of the ships requested
*a bit inevitable in some of the prompts but i'd rather it wasn't the focus
**you are welcome to bash, kill off or straight up never mention choi yoo jin's husband, or bumseok's father, or juwon's father

• BEYOND EVIL; han juwon, lee dongsik

Watched it twice in two months, and it's a struggle everyday not to rewatch it again, so as you can imagine I feel totally normal about this show.

they literally rewrote my brain chemistry, i am forever changed as a person, etc. etc.

cat-and-mouse psychosexual games with your murder suspect? mutual annoyances to partners? breaking and entering as a love language? kneeling at someone's feet in the rain and vowing to follow them into hell? emotionally fraught hand-holding? they really do have it all.

i cannot rhapsodize about all the reasons i love them without spoiling the hell out of any innocent passer-by but the OBSESSION and the MANIPULATION and the TRUST and the GUILT and the HURT/COMFORT. i want to unpeel their psyche. i would read anything about them at any stage in canon/post-canon. working together, working against each other, the break-up, the busan trip(s). they can kiss, they can punch, they can hug, they can arrest each other--i'll be happy to read about them in any shape or form!



possible prompts if you're looking for inspiration:

→ the one where han juwon decides to befriend / seduce / move in next to / move in with lee dongsik in order to learn all his secrets

→ the one where they're handcuffed together (it should have lasted LONGER)

→ the one with the canon-typical interrogations and/or stalking, bonus points if it's in front of everyone's salad

→ the one where only han juwon is allowed to accuse lee dongsik of crimes

→ the one where han juwon decides to date the worst/most annoying person he knows to piss off his dad

→ the one where han juwon didn't see the message on lee dongsik's phone and lee dongsik did end up framed

→ the one where han juwon is now minjeong's stepdad

→ the one where something happened between them before all the reveals and now the GUILT

• THE K2; choi yoo jin, kim je ha

My favorite noona romance!! Haha, I'm kidding... unless?

I just fell madly in love with their dynamic right from their first scenes together. She tries to have him killed but he escapes and goes to warn her off but she's laid a trap for him but he's prepared for it and takes her hostage to escape but then someone tries to kill her and he protects her and carries her out of a burning car??? The umbrella??? The way they grapple with each other, try to outsmart each other even once they agree to work together, the way they try to protect each other but are ultimately unwilling to compromise?

*chef's kiss*

I do ship the hell out of it but I'd be perfectly happy to read about them trying and failing to outsmart / kill each other, or you can wrap up a moral conflict in a bow and let them have fun with it, whatever you like!

(evil) queen and lionheart! *sobs* the umbrella!! *sobs*

i do not need them to kiss. i need them to know they have found their perfect match/greatest enemy in each other. i need them to know beyond doubt there can never be any common ground between his unwavering integrity and her need for power and control, and i need them to try to find it anyway. (they can also kiss)



possible prompts if you're looking for inspiration:

→ the one where she didn't [spoilers] and he's supposed to leave but doesn't

→ the one where he does stop working for her but keeps stopping her more morally dubious plans

→ the one where she divorced her husband or never married and still end up hiring kim jeha

→ the one where idk there's a mole in her organization and a dire threat to her life and they have to go on the run together and there's probably only one bed

→ the one where they have to pretend he's her boytoy for [reason]

→ the one where someone leaks to the press that they've having an affair, haha, how awkward, why would anyone think that!

→ the one with groundhog day or time travel fix-it?

→ the one with the identity porn where she's very happy with new bodyguard / secretary kim je ha, but who could possibly be this mysterious agent defeating all her plans?

→ or possibly the one with the identity porn where je ha is starting to get very attached to his new boss, but who could possibly be the evil mastermind working from the shadows?

• MY MISTER; lee jian, park donghoon

This drama. This drama!!

this show and these characters and this relationship ruined me as a person. we see these two people who are so incredibly sad brought together by circumstances and helping each other through the most difficult moments of their lives, and then letting each other go, and it fucked me up.

i also do not need them to kiss. i need them to sit quietly in the same place and draw strength from each other. i need them to recognize themselves in each other. i need them to choose to be kind to each other. (they can also kiss)

i’d love just anything featuring the two of them. post-canon reunion? missing scene? canon with magical realism? a quiet moment in the neighborhood? i /would/ read an entire fic of park dong hoon walking somewhere in silence while she listens to him breathe.



possible prompts if you're looking for inspiration:

→ the one where their ‘affair’ was exposed

→ the one where he found out she was spying on him differently

→ the one where they run away for idk bad debt collector reasons

→ the one where they work together post-canon

→ the one where the neighborhood tries to matchmake them. are they good at it? they could be! are they discreet about it? no.

→ the one where they end up living together with her grandma

• MYSTERIOUS LOTUS CASEBOOK; di feisheng, fang duobing, li lianhua | li xiangyi

Li Lianhua sat down at his dead master's grave and wistfully talked about how nice it would be to be buried next to him and his dead shixiong, and I haven't really recovered from that, emotionally.

Also, (and although the original novel isn't actually danmei) I feel there's this trick to bypass Chinese censorship where show writers are like, "These two aren't gay because then it would also be gay with this third character" (The Narrator: It was, in fact, gay with the third character), and it's been great. Censorship, bad; OT3s, great.

the clown4clown4clown of it all! the identity porn! the devotion!! every side of this triangle has such a flavor. di feisheng and li xiangyi and their bitter exes vibes! their broke-his-qin-because-no-one-else-could-ever-understand-his-music vibes! the multitudes contained by fang duobing and li lianhua/li xiangyi! the mutual-annoyances-to-boyfriend-sharers/lovers progression of di feisheng and fang duobing!

i love them as an OT3 but i'm also down with gen if that's more your speed. i wouldn't say no to a beach reunion fic but there are so many possible canon or post-canon settings, tbh. the hit-it-and-quit-it era! the amnesic a-fei era! the break-up era(s)! the domestic roommates--wait, that's the whole show.



possible prompts if you're looking for inspiration:
→ the one where they find li lianhua at the beach (in what health is up to you)

→ the one where li lianhua fakes his death but they outfox him (bonus for identity porn and/or crossdressing)

→ remember how di feisheng cured his poison and lost his memories? the one where li lianhua cures his poison and loses his memories

→ the one where fang duobing takes his promise to take li lianhua's name if he can cure the dead very seriously

→ the one where di feisheng takes li lianhua drinking wedding wine with him in his wedding chamber very seriously

→ the one with fake-dating shenanigans

• TURING'S CODE; guan yue, wen tianhe

I keep up with the manhua and I'm caught up to the English TL (around chapter 50) so if you've finished the novel one way or the other, I'd appreciate it if you could avoid specific spoilers?

the ultimate exes to lovers. each and every one of their scenes feels like balancing your heart on the edge of a very, very sharp knife. they loved each other so much, and they tried so hard to hold onto each other, and they couldn’t anymore but they still love each other /so goddamn much/.

i'd love to read just about any stage of their relationship, when they’re kids, when they’re living together in england pre-relationship, their early days as a couple, during their break-up, after their break-up, anytime, anyplace.



possible prompts if you're looking for inspiration:

→ the classic ‘we broke up but we have to pretend to still be together for Reasons’

→ the one where they woke up married (get them drunk in vegas and you KNOW they would)

→ the one where there’s a terrible storm right when they go their separate way in (was it Tibet?) and the airport has shut down and they’ve broken up but there is Only One Bed at the nearest hotel

→ the sci-fi AU where wen tianhe is an engineer and guan yue an android (sorry, prometheus who i didn’t even think to nominate)

→ the one where prometheus tries to matchmake (even more) (results may vary)

→ the one where one of them has amnesia and forgets they broke up

→ the one where they have to get married for (insert reason)

• WEAK CLASS HERO ONE; ahn suho, yeon sieun

me during the first few episodes: some people should be allowed to just snap
canon: you got it

boy who needs a nap like no one i've ever seen in my life and boy who naps a lot make friends/fall in love and beat up bullies: the series. sometimes it lasts in friendship and sometimes it [incoherent sobbing]: the series. grown-ups are evil: the series.

i can't really say anything more about this show or these profundly beloved characters without spoiling anything and/or running off crying, so don't take this lack of verbiage as a lack of love but as a surplus of it!

sieun just wanted to be left alone and suho didn't want to get involved, but they became each other's person so fast? 'maybe we were a married couple in a past life'?? suho showed him so much care, and sieun didn't know how to react and was slowly learning to, and they wanted so badly to protect each other, and i'm not okay about it? i cannot possibly express how much i NEED some hurt/comfort, hold the hurt. happy missing scene? post-canon fix-it? canon divergence fix-it?

possible prompts if you're looking for inspiration:

→ the one with post-canon recovery

→ the one with post-canon amnesia

→ the one with the beach episode where nothing hurts?

→ the one where the early stage of their relationship when they're still sizing each other up before the complete and utter devotion lasts a little longer and maybe they fight?

→ you know how they keep taking on bigger bullies? the one where they take on bumseok's dad

→ the one where sieun kind of moves in with suho and his grandma (and youngyi)

→ the one where they go to eunjang together

(Any treats are welcome!)

• LIFE WITH DEREK; casey mcdonald, derek venturi

one of my oldest ships! if you're still into this show in 2023 you're probably also into them, but i am perfectly happy to read about their platonic obsession to defeat each other if it's not your thing! and i am also very happy getting into the thorny issues of stepsiblings falling in love. and also very happy to side-step the issues and bask in a love story complicated only by their terrible personalities. so go where your heart leads you!

i loved how on paper they're polar opposites--he's the popular slacker who doesn't care about anything! she's the nerdy rule-follower who cares about everything!--but their core is the same: the eldest child of a ditzy single-parent household who must have Absolute and Undisputed Control of their Life, the House and also their Friend Group at All Times.

i loved every ridiculous conflict and shenanigans they had, i loved their family trying to navigate their all-out war, i loved every time they banded together against another enemy.

 

possible prompts if you're looking for inspiration:

→ the one where the venturis moved with the mcdonalds instead

→ the one where their war continues on to college

→ the one where they ruin accidentally-on-purpose each other's romantic prospects (....so canon)

→ the one where they pretend not to know each other in college and/or everyone thinks they're dating or had a bad break-up

→ the one where george and nora break up (temporarily or not) and they are.... no longer..... forced to deal with each other?? what a relief! (?)

→ the one where derek moves with his mom or casey with her dad and they are.... no longer..... forced to deal with each other?? what a relief! (?)

→ the one where they met and started to date before they found out their parents were getting married

→ the one where they PRETEND to date in order to get their parents to break up

Dear Creator,

Nice to meet you! Danmei has pretty much taken over my life for a few years now, so this should be a very fun exchange for me, and I hope for you as well!
First of all, know that the optional details are very much optional and not meant to be any kind of guideline. Aside from DNWs, you can go in any direction you like and I'll be absolutely delighted. You can take inspiration in any part of this letter if you're looking for it, or go your own way if you've got something in mind!

I'm very much looking forward to your gift, and I hope you have fun writing!

on the more serious side of things: loyalty kink!!, king and lionheart dynamics!, people on a mission, morally gray characters, amoral characters, righteous characters, where do you put the line and what do you believe in and what are you willing to compromise on and what are you wiling to sacrifice, just the different ways people relate to right and wrong and guilt and responsibility and all that jazz; time travel shenanigans; unhealthy dynamics as long as they're recognized as such by the text if not by the characters; characters who aren't quite there yet—there being a healthy dynamic or being good or happiness—but want to work together or push each other towards it

• THE SCUM VILLAIN'S SELF-SAVING SYSTEM; luo binghe/shen yuan | shen qingqiu

i love these dummies. i love how much they want to take care of each other, and how badly they fail at it on occasion. i love the unreliable narrator-ness of it all, how luo binghe wants to be in a romance novel and shen yuan is convinced he's in a revenge thriller. how much they struggle to see and understand each other, how luo binghe can't quite make sense of shen qingqiu's behavior without knowledge of the system and transmigration, how shen yuan is blinded by his knowledge of the original novel as well as by his own guilt--and i love how much they know and love each other despite all this. i love how much their world revolve around each other. i love that fearsome demon overlord luo binghe's greatest aspiration in life is to be his shizun's housewife. i love that the only thing in the world stronger than shen yuan's powers of denial is his absolute weakness to luo binghe being even slightly unhappy. i absolutely adore that not only did luo binghe take his shishu's "be pathetic" advice and ran with it, but that the most nonsensical piece of love advice to be ever uttered actually does work on shen yuan perfectly. i love these dummies!!

things i'd love to see: canon divergence, unreliable narrator(s), mutual obsession

or potential tropes: forced proximity, accidental/purposeful soul-bonding, accidental/forced/arranged marriage, temporary amnesia

or potential prompts:
→ any no system AU, what does it look like?? at what point does sqq realize his white sheep wants to fuck him, and possibly how long have they been married by then?
→ any post-abyss alternate reunion, maybe tianlang-jun got out early and is waging war against cultivators, and luo binghe shows up offering an alliance in exchange for a) his shizun’s hand in marriage b) his shizun wrapped up in an immortal cable bow c) absolutely nothing, but he’ll sure take the opportunity to tearfully glare at shizun the whole time!
→ anything about shen yuan being rabidly obsessed with luo binghe pre-transmigration
→ anything about demon culture and/or luo binghe's unique position as the child of a demon and a cultivator who was raised without knowing a single thing about his demon heritage
→ shixiong shen yuan! that's it, that's the tweet
→ the one with body-sharing where shen yuan ends up in luo binghe's body directly when he first transmigrates, or at any of his other 'deaths'
→ the one where shen qingqiu can’t escape from the water prison / stays as luo binghe’s human battery for a while / stays captive longer after surrendering to stop luo binghe from invading the sect
→ the one where idk shang qinghua or even a shen qingqiu who transmigrated earlier saved luo binghe’s parents and he grew up as a demon prince, but still ended up shen qingqiu’s disciple
→ temporary amnesia at any point canon or post-canon : shen yuan transmigrates into shen qingqiu with no memories? luo binghe forgets his husband? plantzun wakes up with no memories of his previous transmigration and boy, wouldn’t it be nice to get a glimpse of the protagonist…?
→ post-canon luo binghe gets deaged to a) white sheep who can’t believe his luck b) traumatized freshly post-abyss black-bellied sheep who definitely can’t believe his luck c) thoroughly blackened sheep who was in the process of capturing plantzun and is /extremely/ suspicious of his luck

• THE SCUM VILLAIN'S SELF-SAVING SYSTEM; original luo binghe/original shen qingqiu

i really enjoy terrible people who are obsessed with each other as a ship dynamic, i-hate-you-but-i-can't-live-without-you. while the obsession is mostly on bingge's side in canon, shen jiu's own brand of devotion is pretty extreme, and he feels like someone who very badly wants to be needed, which can pave the way for such an interesting dynamic between them, imo. canon takes it..... pretty...... far, so i'd be very happy with some canon divergence here, if only because lugging around a torso just seems awkward (things you'd never thought you'd write.....).


things i'd love to see: canon divergence, mutual obsession, awful people in love..... everyone having most if not all of their limbs

or potential tropes: forced proximity, accidental/purposeful soul-bonding, accidental/forced/arranged marriage, temporary amnesia

or potential prompts:
→ any scenario where they’re stuck with each other without being able to kill each other
→ also anything about demon culture and/or luo binghe's unique position as the child of a demon and a cultivator who was raised without knowing a single thing about his demon heritage
→ the one where bingge is never exposed as a demon and stays in qing jing peak
→ the one where [handwaves plot] bingge needs his evil shizun as a) war strategist b) political advisor c) empress
→ the one where they're both reborn
→ the one where bingge's parents never died and he grew up as a demon lord
→ the one where they accidentally/purposefully soul-bond a) pre-abyss b) when bingge is conquering the realms c) when shen jiu is his prisoner and now neither of them can hurt the other
→ the one where shen jiu was also poisoned by without a cure
→ the one where bingge meets bingqiu earlier in his own timeline
→ the one where bingge doesn't meet bingqiu earlier but decides to bring his own shizun back after meeting them

• THE SCUM VILLAIN'S SELF-SAVING SYSTEM; original luo binghe/shen yuan | shen qingqiu

it's just too upsetting if bingge doesn't get a happy ending!! i can't really bear to break up bingqiu, so i'd love to see bingge find a shen yuan who never transmigrated, or who transmigrated directly further into PIDW. this ship just has everything i love about bingqiu but even more extreme: a distrustful, amoral demon lord whose trauma and abandonment issues have left him with the impossible need to have someone utterly and absolutely devoted to him, and the one (1) person in any world who'd be like, yeah, okay! and who might even give bonus points if bingge just atticwifes him as long as he doesn't have to admit he's into any of it.
basically, if i had to meme about it
bingge: send me a soulmate who's ready to be as obsessed with me as i'd be with them, and whose greatest wish in life is to be kind to me, and who would just be into it if i emotionally manipulated them instead of talking about 'communication' and 'boundaries'
[cuts to shen yuan, currently insulting someone's mother on the internet because they think being pushed into the abyss was good for luo binghe's character development]

things i'd love to see: transmigration/reverse transmigration, unreliable narrator(s), mutual obsession, fealty/loyalty/worship kink

or potential tropes: accidental/forced/arranged marriage or any wife plot, cohabitation, bed-sharing

or potential prompts:
→ shen yuan transmigrates into pidw canon/post-canon, either as shen qingqiu / a wife / any random person
→ post-extra bingge goes looking for his own shen yuan and ends up in the modern world, an irresistible protagonist halo meets an immovable repressed nerd
→ bingge is summoned by shen yuan’s luo binghe shrine, or possibly by shen yuan very platonically making out with his luo binghe poster / body pillow
→ basically any comedy of errors where bingge has to deal with a) the modern world b) shen yuan’s very unconscious devotion and attraction to him paired with his utter obliviousness/repression
→ freshly transmigrated shen yuan isn’t going to make any waves! he’s just going to become a minister to get rid of the more treacherous members of the court! stop a couple of assassination plots! maybe hint (respectfully!) at putting some order in the harem, wait, what do you mean, he’s now the empress?!
→ canon only instead of bingmei it’s a reborn bingge who has all his PIDW memories (this would be, you understand, a parallel universe to canon, bingqiu are still very happy somewhere)
→ bingge learns his soulmate has finally been born in this world! surprise, it’s a transmigrated nerd!
→ minding-his-own-business, transmigrated shen yuan gets embroiled into a wife plot
→ also anything about demon culture and/or luo binghe's unique position as the child of a demon and a cultivator who was raised without knowing a single thing about his demon heritage
→ also anything about shen yuan being rabidly obsessed with luo binghe pre-transmigration

• THE SLEUTH OF THE MING DYNASTY; sui zhou/tang fan/wang zhi

i looooove these three. i love how wang zhi lives in a court intrigue palace drama, while tang fan's in a cooking show with a side of murder mystery and sui zhou's in a post-war psychological show slash romcom.
and i love every side of this triangle. i love how tang fan and sui zhou move in together and adopt a daughter and a goat within like, five minutes of their acquaintance. i love how tang fan and wang zhi understand each other and work so well off each other. i love sui zhou and wang zhi's relationship, how they sometimes grapple with their conflicting loyalties and codes of honor but still grow to have this quiet understanding and trust between them.
every instance of tang fan being in danger was A+++
sui zhou: we should immediately do everything in our power to rescue him!
wang zhi: i'm definitely not going to do anything to jeopardize the current socio-political situation.... but i'm going to look away five minutes while you do your thing and/or actually help you if you make it impossible for me not to, i guess

things i'd love to see: canon/canon divergence settings, loyalty kink!!, domesticity, shenanigans, conflicting moralities

or potential tropes: fake relationship/undercover as a couple, cohabitation, mistaken to be dating

or potential prompts:
→ any getting together fic where nothing bad happens and there are found family feelings and sui zhou cooks, probably
→ case shenanigans? tang fan crossdresses, wang zhi schemes, sui zhou satisfies his loyalty/service kinks
→ case shenanigans: the fake dating version? wang zhi plays the corrupt, lustful official, this is boy toy 1 and boy toy 2
→ the one where tang fan is In Danger, Again, and there is possibly Conflict between sui zhou and wang zhi on how to rescue him, and then they do rescue him/he rescues himself but the Conflict has not Resolved? they will need to Communicate?
→ the one where wang zhi needs help on a case post-canon
→ the one where wang zhi needs help on a lot of cases post-canon and maybe he's just Lonely, Actually?
→ the one where the emperor and imperial consort wan can tell from wang zhi's perfectly neutral letters that he's Wretchedly Lonely, Actually and decide to scheme/matchmake

• TIAN GUAN CI FU; quan yizhen/yin yu

i'm just gonna use my yuletide letter.... from way back, just know i am as wildly in love with this ship as i was when i wrote it, if not more:

I absolutely loved these two and their dynamic. I don't think I can speak coherently about Yin Yu's last scene. I just went to reread it while writing this and I'm just as overwhelmed as before. So he's petty and jealous, so what? So he resents and hates Yizhen, so what? He wanted to be kind if he couldn't be powerful but he couldn't be that either. God!! I just, have a lot of emotions.

I'd just love anything exploring their relationship, Yin Yu's pride and resentment and Quan Yizhen's absolute worship of him, how despite everything Yin Yu liked him, when they were just two disciples of the same sect, liked taking care of him, liked that Quan Yizhen only cared for him, up until his inferioriy complex soured even that. It doesn't need to be romantic if you're not into that, but if you are, yes please.

I'd be happy with any canon or canon divergent setting, be it back before Yin Yu fell, or while he was running away from Quan Yizhen (feel free to lean into the comical aspect of it if you want), or some post-canon fix-it. Maybe they get magically stuck or stranded together at some point and are forced to deal with each other. Maybe their relationship wasn't quite entirely platonic during or pre-canon. Maybe uh, fixing the post-canon situation involves some marriage ritual or dual cultivation, I'm ready to blame Airplane-bro for it if you are.

Most of all I just want them to be happy, or to be consciously working towards happiness.

things i'd love to see: canon divergence, mutual obsession, yin yu experiencing Feelings

or potential tropes: forced proximity, accidental/purposeful soul-bonding, accidental/forced/arranged marriage, temporary amnesia, practice kissing, bed-sharing, F I X - I T

potential prompts:
→ pre-, mid- or post-canon comedy of errors while quan yizhen chases after yin yu
→ the one where they had a thing pre-ascension and/or when they were both gods
→ the one where bringing yin yu back requires some marriage ritual or dual cultivation
→ the one where there's an accidental proximity curse/soul-bond/pregnancy/etc. and it severely derails yin yu's running away plans
→ the one where [handwaves plot] heavenly officials want to send a sacrifice, ahem, bride to curry favor with the ghosts and quan yizhen volunteers. yin yu did Not ask for this, but hua cheng says it’s his problem now
→ basically any scenario where yin yu has to stay there and Feel Things

A happy Yuletide season to you! I hope you're excited about what we were matched on, and I want to say first off that my optional details and this letter are just additional information if you're looking for ideas. Short of my DNWs, there's really nothing here you need to mind, so don't worry about it if your inspiration takes you in another direction!

I hope you have fun writing, and thank you!

• CRAZYHEAD; amy, raquel francis, suzanne

(i’d be perfectly happy with gen fic but i also ship both amy/raquel and amy/suzanne, and actually i think i could be talked into amy/raquel/suzanne too.)

i absolutely /loved/ the zany spirit of the show, so anything playing off that would be great, but i'd also welcome a more serious approach to these characters, their trauma, their issues. or both. both at once is also good.

i'd particularly love anything set post-s1, maybe some amy/raquel where amy realizes her 'i love you' wasn't as platonic as she had thought, or the three of them trying to somehow lead a normal life even with suzanne being undead, or some silly demon-slaying shenanigans in the spirit of the show (bonus if someone has to make up a lie on the spot to hide the existence of the supernatural and fails spectacularly)

if you happen to be interested in writing amy/raquel or amy/suzanne fic, i'm adding additional details i put for them on another exchange, if anything inspires you:

Was Amy lying when she later told Raquel she had meant it as friendly love, or in denial? Does Raquel secretly wish Amy had meant it? Or perhaps a more partners-to-lovers approach, something dealing with the dangerous situations they find themselves in and the trust they have in one another, and the codependency that might result from that.

We see Suzanne is (un)alive at the end of the finale, but where do they go from there? Does Amy feel guilty over everything that happened to Suzanne? Does Suzanne feel guilty over being used to bait Amy and almost hurting her? Do they just go back to being best friends and roommates? Were they always in love, or did they only know it after Suzanne died and came back and died again (and came back again)? Does Amy keep feeding Suzanne her blood??

• DON'T DARE TO DREAM / JEALOUSY INCARNATE; ko jung wo, lee hwa shin, pyo na ri

this is one of those love triangles that REALLY work as an OT3, but i'd be happy with any platonic or romantic exploration of their relationship(s), be it a post-canon or canon-divergent getting together fic, or the three of them relearning how they fit together after pyo na ri and lee hwa shin's wedding--or even more shenanigans set in the 'why don't you date us both' period

some other prompts if you're looking for ideas:

→ Pyo Na Ri and Lee Hwa Shin working together

→ anything about Lee Hwa Shin and Ko Jung Wo's codependency
→ amnesia fic! maybe Pyo Na Ri thinks she's still dating Jung Wo, maybe Ko Jung Wo doesn't remember meeting her and is thrown by this new person who kind of stole his place in Lee Hwa Shin's life but also he likes her apparently?, maybe Lee Hwa Shin is thrown back to the time before they got together and he learned how to deal with his feelings, any scenario works tbh
→ again, the Two-Timing Era shenanigans

• RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON; namaari, raya, sisu

i love these characters and would be happy with any and every combination of them—OT3, any romantic pair, completely platonic shenanigans or character studies.

for poly or platonic fic, i'd love something dealing with the emotional fallout of the movie: the struggle to trust each other, to learn to forgive themselves and each other, to rebuild themselves and their tribes and their relationships with each other and the people/dragons they’ve lost and found again—and where do these sometimes conflicting allegiances and duties leave them and their relationship(s)?

i'd also love any exploration of sisu’s Otherness: how does she see herself? how does she think of humans and human emotions and human conventions? how do other dragons see humans, and how do they see her relationship with them?

this canon also seems particularly good for arranged marriage/marriage of convenience tropes. pre-reconciliation namaari and raya having to marry for the good of their tribes! an AU where the dragons never disappeared and raya’s and/or namaari’s hand in marriage is being offered up to dragon sisu for the good of their tribes! any two or all three characters having to marry post-canon for the good of their tribes!


some canon a little to the left prompts:

→ raya and namaari time skip shenanigans (that friends to enemies to lovers or any variation thereof goodness!)
→ the one where namaari doesn't accidentally shoot sisu
→ the one where they stop the druun but can’t bring everyone back

• THE ROMANCE OF TIGER AND ROSE; chen qianqian, han shuo

it’s been a while since i watched the show so i’m a bit too fuzzy on the plot to offer specific prompts, but i loved the characters and the gender-flipped worldbuilding and how these dummies’s first instinct is literally always murder or lying. i’d love post-canon dealing with han shuo’s transmigration and relearning each other in the modern world, or something set in the earlier stages of their relationship, or basically any canon or canon divergent setting.

 
i don't have anything to add, i'll love anything you'll come up with and here, have some memes that i made because they're idiots and i literally couldn't help myself:

• CRAZYHEAD; amy, raquel francis, suzanne

(i’d be perfectly happy with gen fic but i also ship both amy/raquel and amy/suzanne, though very much in an either/or way, please no poly situation or unrequited love scenario.)

i absolutely /loved/ the zany spirit of the show, so anything playing off that would be great, but i'd also welcome a more serious approach to these characters, their trauma, their issues. or both. both at once is also good.

i'd particularly love anything set post-s1, maybe some amy/raquel where amy realizes her 'i love you' wasn't as platonic as she had thought, or the three of them trying to somehow lead a normal life even with suzanne being undead (which can totally have amy/suzanne or be a gen fic), or some silly demon-slaying shenanigans in the spirit of the show (bonus if someone has to make up a lie on the spot to hide the existence of the supernatural and fails spectacularly)

or an AU inspired by the dark days club books—no prior knowledge required—that might be fun if canon doesn’t particularly inspire you: demon-slaying shenanigans in regency england

• GOBLIN; ji eun tak, kim shin, wang yeo

i fell deeply in love with the show up until/even after it wrecked me emotionally, and i absolutely loved this trio of more-or-less willing roommates, so my only request when it comes to them is, DON'T BREAK MY HEART EVEN MORE.
roommates shenanigans? you bet. found family feelings? A+. OT3(/4 if you want to include sunny)? hell yeah! post-canon all finding each other again? you're allowed to break my heart a lil' bit.
(i didn't end up requesting sunny for matching reasons but you're absolutely welcome to feature her as much as the others if you had offered her)

Some other prompts if you're looking for ideas:
→ maybe a role reversal AU? Ji Eun Tak as the Goblin? Kim Shin as the Goblin's Bride (who definitely still has a girl ghost gang)?
→ the one where Kim Shin was in love with his king (and his king with him)
→ the one where they all find each other again post-canon
→ maybe Wang Yeo and Ji Eun Tak met during those years she couldn't remember a

 

 

• KILLJOYS; dutch, johnny jaqobis

Basically this scene happened,
 

(source)

and I never recovered.

There's just, he's just so completely devoted to her and she has so much faith and relies so completely on him in return that I don't know how to deal with myself. (QUEEN AND LIONHEART, but she's also her own damn knight.) The love and trust and respect between them is my happy place, and if you want to go romantic with this, yes, absolutely, but there's no need to if you enjoy the platonic aspect of their relationship, I'd just like anything focusing on them, though if you want to feature the absolute nonsense that is their found/grudgingly extended family, I'd welcome it as well.

Maybe some pre- or post-canon job shenanigans. Maybe they kind of got legally married at some point on some planet for some reason and it comes up again. Maybe some friends to lovers/mutual pining. Maybe an alternate take on the post-S4 fallout (they were MARRIED). The world is your oyster!
