Trick or Treat 2025!

lady_ganeshAh yes, one of the three or four times a year I remember I have a Dreamwidth.
Hello creator, and thank you for creating for me! I will enjoy whatever you make, I promise; if I have more ideas for one fandom than another, it has nothing to do with how much I love them. I only pick fandoms I will be thrilled with. :D
Overall I have asked for treats, not tricks, but tricks are fine for extra gifts. I will do my best to add some art prompts to this letter as well; I am bad at talking about and requesting art but I enjoy it, I promise. Alternate universes and canon divergences are fun; I like backstory, future fic and canon-set fic. Any rating is fine. You can get an idea of what I like from my other letters, but don't feel obligated to research me, heh.
Under the cut: Nimona, Scum Villain, The Untamed, Weiss Kreuz
Nimona
Ballister + Meredith Blitzmeyer
Science pals! Meredith is so cheerful and laser-focused on the stuff she cares about. Ballister is far less cheerful and lets the rest of the world filter in more (understandable, for multiple reasons). I would be delighted to see Goldenloin (and very much ship post-canon Ballister/Goldenloin) or a reappearance of Nimona, but those aren't necessary. Mostly I just want to watch them interact, and build on the relationship that started in canon.
Prompts: Ballister tries to explain to Meredith what she missed during canon. Collaboration on an experiment. Alternately, refusing to collaborate due to differing priorities/theories; science squabbling! How did Ballister learn science anyway, and how does it compare to Meredith's experience? AU takes that have them meet pre-canon are welcome, too. (I would prefer the canon setting.)
DNWs: Omegaverse, non-con, no pregnancy of any kind, no sexual assault/abuse. No romance between these two.
The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System
Shang Qinghua, Shang Qinghua/Shen Qingqiu, Shang Qinghua/Mobei-jun
You will notice a theme. Shang Qinghua is so fascinating to me! From underappreciated first son to underappreciated Peak Lord to a hard-won happy ending with the literal man (demon) of his dreams, what a journey canon is. He spent a good decade or so wondering at what point he's going to be murdered to further the plot, more than that under the thumb of the System but...hey, maybe this little world he's in isn't so bad? Also...let's be real, I can sympathize with the harried writer just trying to make his readers happy. (And the utter troll. And that guy who leaves half a plotline on the table because the deadline's looming.) I like that he doesn't have any ambition to be the hero and he can be a little bit, er, morally flexible.
This tweet about Cumplane probably sums it up best, at least the way I see them. They have a ridiculous push and pull, they're the only people in the world who can ever understand what they've been through, they barely understand each other. Gosh, I love them. This can be romantic, this can be hatesex, this can be friendship if you just matched on Qinghua and would rather write that. They're ridiculous. They're insane. I always want more of them.
I am also super fond of Moshang! Two people too stupid to realize how into each other they are. In Qinghua's defense, he was also expecting to get murdered for a long time, which would put a damper on any romance. Anyway, I like them awkward and fumbling, I like them finally getting their shit together and being the weird power couple they're destined to be. I am here for the size difference and the culture clashes and the dumb comedy. I'm neutral on Mobei-jun thinking of SQH as some kind of god, but I do like the idea that he catches some of the nonsense SQH babbles sometimes and suspects something's going on.
(I know MXTX says their first time is terrible. Feel free to ignore her, or not. I do prefer to think that they get better as time goes on either way. I prefer Mobei-jun with dark hair, but otherwise I don't really have too much for set visuals for them.)
Prompts:
What happens if Original SQH meets Current SQH?
I'm an absolute sucker for SQH ending up back 'home' and having to be retrieved.
Mobei-jun taking their courting to the next level, whatever the fuck that means. Maybe he gets better at cooking! Maybe it's gifts! Maybe it's dragging him to a temple where they have to strip naked. You tell me.
Wife plots! SQH needs to be in more wife plots, with or without Cucumber.
DNWs: Omegaverse, non-con, no pregnancy of any kind, no sexual assault/abuse. (Dubcon, especially sex pollen and the like is fine, it is Scum Villain after all.)
The Untamed
Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng/Nie Huaisang
So, um. If you have checked my AO3 dash you will see that I've been a little, er, focused on writing for The Untamed in general and the angriest boy in canon in particular. I just adore him. He tries so hard and he doesn't want to come in second but he comes in second all the time (except, in his family, when he comes in third sometimes, yay?). There's something that really gets me about him just building the Jiangs back up so no one can fuck with them, and more importantly no one can fuck with Jin Ling.
Anyway I love young JC and his determination and loyalty and I love angry burnout overprotective uncle JC, and I love canon divergence and AUs where things turn just enough to make his life a little (or a lot) easier.
Nie Huaisang makes such an interesting contrast with him; soft where he's sharp and hard as nails where he's sentimental, both of them with tremendous love for the people they care about and an equally big ocean of anger for when they're done wrong.
Prompts: Jiang Cheng (with or without Jin Ling) in those lonely years between WWX's death and reappearance.
The first time Jiang Cheng meets Fairy.
Nie Huaisang and Jiang Cheng both trying to play each other for advantage (with or without them actually falling for each other).
Cloud Recesses shenanigans when WWX was off chasing Lan Zhan.
AUs are fine but I prefer settings with some kind of magic or cultivation.
DNWs: Omegaverse, non-con, no pregnancy of any kind, no sexual assault/abuse. No explicit sexual content with the characters pre-Cloud Recesses (or that age if you go AU).
Weiss Kreuz
Nagi/Mamoru
Sometimes you just end up working with the guy whose team killed your sister/cousin and then maybe you fall in love. Tale as old as time, etc.
It's half enemies-to-lovers, half you and me against the world. I wrote a ship manifesto about them ten million years ago and not much has changed. But you don't have to take the characters exactly where I do, I'd love some fresh takes on these two. One of the things I really like about them as a pairing is that they have that potential to go light or very dark: Mamoru's trapped himself in a prison of his own making but there are some ways out, especially with Nagi involved. They could disappear somewhere! They could have a happy life killing people for money! They could have a sad and angsty life killing people for money! They could gain staggering political power through legal and extralegal means! Truly, a pairing that can do it all.
Prompts: They'd be in their forties right now. What does that look like? What if Mamoru had superpowers and Nagi was the secret son of a powerful family? What if someone finds out that canon Nagi is the secret son of a powerful family? What does downtime look like when you're a superpowered assassin, anyway? I would also never say no to good old fashioned "telekinetic powers in the bedroom."
DNWs: Omegaverse, non-con, no pregnancy of any kind, no sexual assault/abuse. No explicit sexual content with the characters under their canon ages in Gluehen (so 17 for Nagi).
