Dear Chocolatier,
UPDATED! 01/9/2020 - This behemoth is finally complete. Thank you for your patience. Without further adieu...
Thank you so much for writing for me! My letters are usually fairly long and detailed, as I hope to cover enough ground to give you as much info in case you are not sure of what to write, but feel free to ignore most of this letter but the DNWs if something sparks you that’s not completely like what I prompted. I just want you to feel inspired and comfortable! Also, please don't think that I want a fandom less because of the amount of prompts compared to others. Sometimes I just want very specific things or I had a hard time coming up with prompts, but I want everything contained in this letter, don't fret. I chose fanfic as my freeform tags because I'm not sure how to prompt for art, but if anything sparks your creativity for art, I'd love to see what you come up with!
I mostly use this journal as a private place to post thoughts I’m not comfortable posting on my tumblr, which is where I mostly hang out, making graphics and reblogging things—if you choose to visit, it’s good place to snoop to get a generalized glimpse at what I like.
In an effort to make my letter as skimmable as possible, here are some links to help guide you to whatever interests you and help you skip the rest.

KNIVES OUT (2019) || THE MAGICIANS (TV) || READY OR NOT (2019) || YOU (TV 2018)
↳ General Things I Like: I am a very emotionally oriented person. I love exploring a character’s thoughts and feelings, what it is that makes that character tick and make the choices they do. I’d rather have purely character thought-piece over a complex well-plotted fic with no emotional heart or depth. I love relationships: their dynamics, how they support one another, how they relate to each other, how they interact, where their wants and needs match up, where they differ, how their different parts interconnect or pull-apart.
I adore friendships in all forms and I love exploring what it means to be friends and the bond between characters. I love emotional history and how that affects a relationship dynamic between characters. Friends-turned-lovers is a favorite trope of mine, as well as love/hate, enemies-turned-lovers dynamics. I love snark and banter and flirting, but I also love new relationship awkwardness, relationship negotiation, and getting-to-know-you bonding. For any relationship to happen, I want some connection at the base before it turns romantic or sexual. I love developing relationships: relationship conflicts after the characters got together, trying to figure out how to make things work, some things maybe not working at first, temporary breakups. If you’re dealing with a poly-relationship, I’d love to see how the characters deal with that new dynamic and how they adjust into their new roles, how the dynamic changes (for better or for worse). I love unlikely friendships/romances, complicated relationships, group dynamics, partnerships.
I also love fucked up, varying-degrees-of-unhealthy, too-close-for-comfort relationships. Codependent relationships, obsessive relationships, completely-fixated-on-the-other relationships. I love when a character is willing to literally let the world burn, should the world try to come between them and the person they love (romantically or platonically), choosing their partner above anyone else. I really love when this is all a choice, rather than conditioning (though I do love when this closeness is born from abusive homes and situations, with the two characters banding together, them-against-the-world). Two-halves-of-a-whole-person type of relationships are my weakness—I love dynamics where the other can’t function without the other and opt for self-destruction in the face of separation (via either substance abuse or moral/character disintegration), even leading to suicide ideation. Them being equally obsessive and fucked up, and extremely invested in their relationship is what I live for. Utter devotion is key.
I also enjoy something in between the two extremes—characters relying on each other and needing each other, making sure the other is okay, taking care of each other, especially in regards to trauma and/or mental illness. Basically I love messy, codependent relationships with dysfunctional people who love each other and are terrible to each other sometimes, but also healthy, loving, mutually supportive relationships, where people take care of each other and communicate with each other, and everything in between or in combination.
I really dig domesticity and what makes a home a home, and how being a family to each other plays into that and how the characters come together in that way. I adore makeshift families and kid!fic in any form (so long as the children are written realistically and not cute accessories—I love reading about the difficulties of parenting, how it changes the relationships, characters reacting to being a parent—especially if they came from an abusive home). I love cooking and doing chores, and quiet breakfast scenes over coffee or tea. If you want to add pets, that would be wonderful! (I love all kinds of animals, but cats have a special place in my heart.
I love porn and wouldn’t mind a PWP piece, if that’s where your heart takes you, but I’d prefer it to be emotionally anchored; not necessarily romantic, but something with a connection and a reason for it happening beyond two (or more!) pretty faces.
↳ Some of my kinks include: trust (I have a huuuge trust kink that can usually make most kinks work if the basis comes from how intensely two characters trust each other and their willingness to give themselves to the other person in every way, and vice versa), overwhelming “I never thought I’d have this and now that I do, I don’t even know where to start” feelings, angry sex, fighting-that-leads-to-sex, powerplay, D/s (that’s more focused on taking care of each other than humiliation), switching/no set sexual “roles”, topping from the bottom, service kink (getting off on giving pleasure rather than receiving), oral sex, licking, fingering, dirty talk (please no humiliation), praise kink, teasing, body worship, sensory overload (being overwhelmed by sensations, being touched immediately after orgasm), biting/marking/scratching, begging, public sex, heat-of-the-battle sex, frantic sex, jealousy and possessiveness, bloodplay, voyeurism, bondage, somnophilia, size differences, partially-clothed or mostly-clothed sex, handjobs, rimming, frottage, intercrural, double-penetration, masturbation/fantasizing about the other before getting together, mutual masturbation.
Drunk or high sex (both the emotionally messy, dubcon-y, bad idea kind and the sloppily affectionate consensual kind), rough sex, characters who kink on violence and danger (gunplay, knifeplay, breathplay, exhibitionism, etc.), hatesex, scar kink, sex for comfort and solace, dressing and undressing, messy badly-negotiated (or unnegotiated) sexual desires, inexperience, sexuality exploration, first times, clothes kink (suits, uniforms, gloves, boots etc.), neat characters being disheveled for once; casual characters cleaning up nicely, clothes-sharing, choosing clothes for the other person as kink/foreplay, sex in other places than a bed: on tables, against walls, on the floor, on a chair, in the shower, messiness (sweat, come, etc.), competence kink (characters kinking on the skills set of another, i.e. Seth’s admiration/fixation on Richie cracking safes), oral fixation (smoking, fingersucking, shotgunning, etc.), sex where emotions are mixed, or difficult to acknowledge, or emotionally hurtful to acknowledge, sex that doesn't heal anybody's deep emotional wounds, moody messy melancholy sex, crying, overwhelming/overstimulation sex.
I’d really love all of this to be paired with tenderness and sweetness, just little touches here and there: hand-holding, forehead touching, forehead/face kisses, snuggling and cuddling, nuzzling, hugs from behind, neck kisses, scar kissing. Lots of kissing in general is lovely. I love the “we like each other so much that we can’t stop touching each other in any way” trope a lot. Sharing food, sharing clothes, sharing beds. Sleep related things in general: comfort after a nightmare, falling asleep together, one character watching the other sleep. Characters feeling safe and cherished by the other. Simple casual intimacy is fantastic and very much appreciated.
↳ Random and miscellaneous things I love:
↳ DNWs: death of requested characters unless otherwise specified, explicit child or sexual abuse (h/c regarding abuse, or portraying the aftermath or effects is fine), extreme underage (12 and below), graphic depictions of child death, graphic animal cruelty or death, mentally ill/neurotypical treated as a burden, parental or cross-gen incest, love triangles and V-shaped poly relationships, a/b/o, unrequested non-canon pairings, unrequested AUs, rigid top/bottom roles (I prefer switching! But if you have a top/bottom preference for certain characters, that’s okay, I just rather it implied in the fic that’s not all they do).
I prefer not to read about excessive abuse, but I understand it’s inclusion if it’s part of a character’s backstory. I like reading about the aftereffects of abuse, of trauma, but not the actual traumatic events in detail.
Mentally ill or neurotypical characters treated as a burden or better off dead or elsewhere—it’s fine if they're experiencing ableism from outside sources, but I don't want the whole fic to be about that.
No deathfic unless the characters die or have died in canon, or a villain is being killed. Referring to the major character deaths that occur in canon and exploring those after effects is okay, but otherwise, I’d rather not read it. I don’t consider it deathfic if someone dies and then comes back in the same fic.
My squicks are: parental or cross-gen incest (sibling or cousin incest is totally okay), bestiality (xenophilia in terms of sentient monsters, on the other hand, is encouraged), a/b/o, watersports, scat or most hardcore kinks, humiliation (sexual or otherwise).
Non-con is a hardline trigger for me, so I’d rather avoid it unless it’s part of a character’s backstory (I’m okay with dub-con though—either messy and fucked up stuff with one character taking advantage of the other, capital R "romantic" necrophilia, or “we all got drunk and had sex together, whoops”).

CROSSOVER FANDOM
↳ Ships: Carrie White & Eddie Kaspbrak, Eddie Kaspbrak & Camille Preaker, Eddie Kaspbrak/Dan "Danny" Torrance, Dan "Danny" Torrance/Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier/Dan "Danny" Torrance, Marta Cabrera/Grace Le Domas, Norman Bates/Eddie Kaspbrak, Eddie Kapsbrak/Quentin Coldwater, Richie Tozier/Eliot Waugh, Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier/Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh
Carrie White & Eddie Kaspbrak
The interconnectedness of King’s works make me want to explore more of the universe he’s built, but make it very very easy for crossovers to happen.
I’d love to see an AU where Carrie and her mother move to Derry, and Carrie grows up being a part of the town, and thus, The Losers Club befriend her. I would love to see her interactions with Eddie in particular, because of their similarities, but also any of the losers—I'd love to see what changes when Carrie has real friends and how things with Pennywise would go with Carrie in the mix. You can mess with the timelines and make her the same age, or Carrie can bee their big sister-like figure!
Or! I’d love an AU where Eddie and Carrie are related in some way. Maybe she is a long lost cousin or a relative of Frank Kaspbrak! I would also love to explore psychic Eddie who has either the same powers as Carrie or some other type of superpower. I'd love for them to look out for one another.
A post-Carrie fic where instead of dying, she runs away to Derry and ends up befriending the Losers. They can be aged up or still thirteen year olds and she becomes a big sister figure while trying to survive on her own. I'd love to see Eddie try to sneak her food, or spend time with her, trying to figure out what happened to her. I’d love them bonding over the abuse and trauma they've gone through.
Eddie Kaspbrak & Camille Preaker
Eddie and Camille are two of my most favorite characters. I'd love it if Eddie and Camille met and managed to strike up a friendship. I'd love like maybe a one time chance encounter, or they end up corresponding and talking to each other. I'd love to see them bonding over their trauma and shitty moms, but I get that wouldn't come up in a first conversation, but I'd just like for them to feel drawn towards each other and connected in some way.
Or maybe Camille goes to Derry to investigate the missing and/or dead kids, and along the way, runs into Eddie Kaspbrak. Or maybe she gets mixed up in the defeat and kill Pennywise quest.
So… my headcanon is that Eddie is absolutely gay, but I would still love to see an AU where Eddie marries Camille instead of Myra, and they have a complicated marriage. It’d be less abusive than anything with Myra, but still deeply unhealthy and messy, with Camille's drinking problem and self loathing, and Eddie's pill issues and trauma. I don't want anything really hopeless here—they can break up, it doesn't have to last as a marriage, but I’d love to see them in an almost marriage of convenience where they mistake camaraderie and deep empathy for being in love. I’d like to see anything that explores how they can be affectionate and loving, but incompatible in what they need physically.
I'm also really in love with the idea of Eddie meeting Camille's family, then eventually realizing how similar their moms are, something clicking in Camille's head when Eddie eventually points out his mom made him sick, Eddie interacting with Adora and Amma. I’d just love anything with Eddie and Camille both helping each other, but also enabling each other's worst behaviors.
Eddie Kaspbrak/Dan "Danny" Torrance, Dan "Danny" Torrance/Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier//Dan "Danny" Torrance
I kinda love the thought of Danny Torrence interacting with both of these two in any capacity. Feel free to mess with any timelines, I don’t really care about those details too much. Or you can keep the timelines similar and just have Danny be slightly older.
I’d love any AU where Danny is also part of the Loser’s Club, where his mom relocates to Derry, Maine after Colorado for some god-forsaken reason. Maybe having such a strong Shine makes him extra sensitive and tasty to Pennywise, and they all have to band together to protect him. Or the opposite, maybe he’s much better able to help stop Pennywise during the summer of ‘89. In terms of shippiness, I would love for both Eddie and Richie to have crushes on him and how that grows and develops, either with Richie/Danny, Eddie/Danny, Richie/Eddie/Danny.
Speaking of Shine, I imagine all the Losers have it to varying degrees, and if you’re familiar with the book, feel free to add the details like Stan and Richie being particularly lucky and intuitive, maybe Eddie is a bit psychic. I’d love anything that explores how the Losers could be “special” in the same way Danny is and they all find each other. Maybe such a large group of them draws in Rose The Hat, go wild.
I’d also love anything with Danny in the present day timeline with them, either having already known them back in the 80s/early-90s as children, or if somehow Danny gets pulled into the defeat Pennywise fight for other reasons, and meets Richie and Eddie as adults.
I love the thought of Richie or Eddie meeting Danny during the 27 years when they’re all a mess and don’t remember their childhood, and having a drunken one night stand with him, or maybe something longer term. I would love it especially if Danny can sense some mindfuckery in their heads due to the missing or blocked memories. I would love a straight up AU where contact with Danny in between the two movies helps them remember again, maybe Danny removes the blocks in their minds?
Post-IT Chapter 2/Doctor Sleep movie fic where both Danny and Eddie are dead and meet in some kind of afterlife for ghosts who haven’t moved on. I’d love for ghost Eddie to be drawn to Danny, of all other ghosts, maybe due to Danny still being a fairly impressive ghost with a strong shine, or maybe because they knew each other before. I would love it if they contacted Richie together as ghosts—maybe Richie’s time in the deadlights gave him psychic abilities (deadlights are a good plot device for anything), so he’s able to see them or communicate with them. If they both come back to life, that would be great but not necessary.
Or Post-IT Chapter 2 fic where Richie seeks out Danny to try to communicate with dead Eddie and Danny trying to help, but worried about Richie’s grief. Or Eddie finds Danny as a ghost and just won’t leave him alone and keeps haunting him, maybe trying to get Danny to find Richie.
I’d love ghost Eddie possessing Danny for brief moments, like he’s trying to come back to life and grab on to whatever he can. I don’t think Danny appreciates this. Like, at all.
Ghost threesomes! Richie being haunted by them both due to weird deadlight issues and eventually both of them seduce him! I sound joking, but I would love for this to be as sad or creepy as you want it to be (or not sad at all, I’m not picky).
I’m only familiar with the Doctor Sleep movie, but I don’t mind details and filling in the blanks with stuff from the books. I also love Abra and love that Danny is her uncle in the book and would love it if she made an appearance.
Marta Cabrera/Grace Le Domas
Whoever nominated this crossover, I bow to your genius. This is perfect.
I want all the post-canon fic for these two. How they meet is up to you!
Maybe the Le Domas ran in the same circles as the Thrombleys and now these two who inherited their wealth run into each other at a party, an event.
Maybe Benoit has to investigate what happened to the Le Domas family and Marta comes with him and meets Grace, and the two hit it off. Maybe the Thrombleys had some Satanic deals of their own and that brings Grace to Marta’s doorstep.
Or maybe because Grace and Marta are now new heiresses who come from nothing, they’re putting their money to good use through establishing organizations to help foster kids and immigrant kids, and they cross paths in their work.
I just want to see these two together and interacting—they have a lot in common, after all.
Or maybe you want to go with pre-both movies and have them know each other beforehand, like Grace and Marta went to the same college, and were friends. Maybe Grace marries Marta instead! I’m open to anything
Norman Bates/Eddie Kaspbrak
Given the description in the novel that Eddie looks like Anthony Perkins and their similar mother issues, I’d really love to see what would happen if they met. I like to imagine Norman is kind of the worst possible outcome to what Eddie experienced, but was spared the isolation and loneliness due to the fact he had the other losers. Feel free to play with the timeline and set the fic in any era that works for you!
I’d love to see something where Eddie stays at Bates Motel in the intervening 27 years, maybe on a business trip, or maybe as a post-college road trip to find himself. Maybe he and Norman have a small fling or an affair while he’s still married to Myra. I would love something that explores their varying levels of repression and mommy issues, and how they can push past that and make a connection.
Or, if you like, I headcanon Eddie as being a fan of the true crime genre and maybe the Bates Motel is an in-universe actual crime and Eddie decides to write Norman a letter on a whim, and Norman responds back and they strike up a correspondence.
I am also really into the idea of older!Norman/younger!Eddie, as in Norman post-Psycho escapes or gets away from the asylum and builds a life elsewhere, then Eddie, fresh out of Derry, ends up striking a relationship with him
Eddie Kapsbrak/Quentin Coldwater, Richie Tozier/Eliot Waugh, Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier/Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh
I’ve been thinking of this combination of characters for a while, even since I realized how similar the dynamics are, but also sort of removed by age and different backgrounds. I’d love to see any of these dynamics written, so don’t think you have to throw all four of them together. Also I am cool with keeping it just Richie/Eddie and Quentin/Eliot as the romantic/sexual partners, while everyone engages with everyone.
But I’d love a post-It Chapter 2/S4 universe where Eddie and Quentin meet in the afterlife, maybe they’re thrown together for reasons due to their sacrifices or Eddie is trying to find a way back or a loophole, and Quentin is also looking for a way out. I like to think of Eddie and Quentin as varying degrees of wanting to be brave and heroic, but also feeling scared. Quentin is softer, while Eddie is angry. Their age difference would be interesting to explore. Feel free to get weird with worldbuilding, lean into both canons and see what comes out.
On the flipside, I’d love if the same time, Richie and Eliot meet while grieving—maybe Richie went to NYC to get a sense of who Eddie grew up to be and where he lived, and runs into Eliot in a bar and maybe they drunkenly hook up, then after they realize they’re both grieving and talk about Eddie and Quentin. Maybe they decided to work together to get their boyfriends back. I’d love to explore the dynamic between Eliot, who almost grew up in a homophobic town and was scared of being gay, but reinvented himself when he came to Brakebills and how Richie is still scared.
Or because of Richie’s brush with the deadlights, a magical link to the underworld was imprinted on him, which draws Eliot to him because he’s key to getting Quentin back or simply connecting with him.
Also, If you just want to throw the Losers into Brakebills as former students who may or may not be teachers, that would be fun to explore. I would like to keep the age gap between them because I like the intergenerational dynamic, but if you want to mess with timelines, then that’s cool too!
I’d also be interested in any sort of run in during the intervening years. Maybe Quentin or Eliot run into either richie or Eddie and are like, wait, you have a mind block, why do you have that? Then they accidentally remove it. Or they have a brief encounter and connection.
And maybe after they get everyone back, a foursome can happen! Not required, but it could be fun!
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE SERIES
↳ Ships: Manola Jimenez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa, Paloma Gutierrez/Manola Jimenez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa, Paloma Gutierrez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa, Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko, Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa, Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa/Vanessa Styles, Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko/Vanessa Styles
Manola Jimenez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa
If you’re choosing to write this ship, you’re amazing and wonderful because it’s so so so rare and I’m forever sad at what canon chose to do to Manola, so I’ll simply adore anything you give me because I just want more of this dynamic!!!
I really love how Kisa fell in love with this human that is fierce and strong on her own merits, and has chosen to remain human, but stands by Kisa as her loyal right hand to Kisa’s queen figure. I am fascinated by how Manola has gotten Kisa to open up and soften after centuries of being locked down and self-protecting. Manola is one of my favorites, stubborn and determined, but not shut down; she’s so expressive and free with her emotions that she’s such an interesting but good match for Kisa.
I would love anything that explores how and when they met, the trajectory of their relationship, or simply just a moment between them—just anything that shows their backstory because I’m so curious about it! Give me them meeting and then Manola tracking Kisa down and never leaving her alone, give me Kisa taking Manola back to her hotel room and Manola just never leaving after that, give me what Kisa saw in her soul, how they view each other as their own personal savior.
A Manola Lives AU would be amazing, Manola lives fix-it AU is a most desired fic! God, the wasted potential, the wasted dynamics! I’d love anything from Manola getting attacked and living, and Kisa taking her on the run and into hiding until Manola convinces her to join the fight and to stop running out of fear, or Manola convincing her in the moment after her attack to join Seth and Richie, and Kisa agrees to go because the Geckos promise to help protect Manola. I think Manola going with Kisa to rebuild Carlos would be amazing, especially when they meet and imagining their dynamic. Honestly, feel free to include Carlos in any capacity, I love that piece of shit. I am okay with seeing Manola injured and how they deal with the aftermath of her being put in danger, but how she lives it up to you! Kisa turns her! Manola is a werewolf! Go wild!
I’d also love anything fairytale/myth-esque for Kisa/Manola, their dynamic and backstory lends so much for this, such as the Beauty and the Beast elements to Kisa potentially going on an Orpheus-like quest to bring back her lost love. I’d love anything that explores how Manola feels about Kisa’s history or how she feels about Kisa being La Diosa. Manola is such a grounded presence that is so separate from anything Kisa has known, yet emboiled in culebra society somehow—she exists on the fringes and it’s a fascinating thing for Kisa to have that in her life, a person who just sees her as herself.
Manola allows Kisa to feed on her as a way of sustaining Kisa without actively killing people—how did this arrangement happen? I would love to see this explored in a sexy sense! Manola clearly enjoys being fed on, given her reaction in canon, so I would love her kinking on Kisa’s monsterous side, such as her scales and her fangs (or her wings!) and how being fed on makes her feel, her headspace whenever it happens would be fascinating. Also I imagine this is kind of a foreplay for them, given how the scene was framed as foreplay that was interrupted, so I’d love a scene where the feeding or simply bloodplay is incorporated into their sex acts. Kisa being creative and feeding on Manola during her period by eating her out or simply Kisa being interested in her period given she hasn’t had one in centuries and wanting to make Manola feel good despite her pain would be all kinds of lovely.
Also, a little bit of possessiveness towards Manola with Kisa’s bites always being display on her neck— Kisa touching them in public and turning Manola on, so she needs to have a quickie in a dark corner. I really love the mythology of the show that blood gives culebras a view into the person’s soul and also that they gain skills from the person they feed on—that kind of intimacy is like catnip to me, so I’d love anything that explores it, especially if Manola gets Kisa to open up by challenging the unfairness of Kisa knowing all her secrets.
Kisa and Manola run a fight club, with Kisa being the queen of the club and Manola being her second in command—I’d love anything domestic with them! How they developed their feeding ritual, how they grew together, just building a home with each other then building the fight club. I am so interested in how they became a family to one another and then built a community where they could feel safe and in control. I especially love how much give and take there is to their relationship—they’re so balanced! I would love to see how that works on a professional and personal level, how they switch between the two in public and in private.
Anyway, I would also like to see how that division of power plays out in the bedroom. Does Manola get off on Kisa being in charge? Does she like to go down on her on Kisa’s “throne”? Or does Kisa let her take charge? I would be interested in seeing how Kisa navigates their sex life given her history of sexual abuse and how Manola works through that with her, while supporting her, and being patient and comforting. I imagine Kisa has a lot of shame in her desires and worries when he gets too rough with Manola, or that she crossed a line, while Manola reassures her. I would also just adore tender sex that allows Kisa to be open and vulnerable and overcome with emotion that she cries.
In terms of kink exploration, I would love to see how they figure out what Kisa actually likes in bed, playing with different kinds of situational kinks, like bondage or gentle D/s. On the flipside, I would love anything that plays fighting or sparring. Manola is a fighter and has been in their ring (what if she was Kisa’s prized champion until Kisa asked her to quit?), so I would love to see anything that shows off how strong Manola is given she fights culebras or just her and Kisa practicing in the ring and things get steamy. Kisa being (consensually) manhandled by her human girlfriend is a surprising turn-on, especially since Manola is so much smaller and more fragile.
I would love to see anything pre-fight club, as well! What was their first time like? Did they wait to have sex, or did they have sex and feelings came afterward? I would love to see Manola pursuing Kisa and trying to get her to be with Manola as Kisa rebuffs her because she’s still healing and figuring out who she is now, but Manola is cautiously persistent. I don't imagine everything was sunshine and rainbows, not at first, so if you want to give me a moody piece exploring the messy early emotions of their relationship, I would love that—to get to where they are in canon when we meet them, it must have been a struggle, which makes it even more poignant to me.
Kisa and Manola are constantly aware of each other and the other’s needs, so I would like to see how that translates to their intimacy, such as bathing each other or getting each other ready before a fight, or maybe Kisa caring for Manola after a fight? Kisa licking Manola’s wounds leading to desperate sex would be all kinds of hot. They’re so openly flirty and I would love to see that translated to sex, in a very playful way! Manola winning a fight and asking Kisa what her prize is with a cocky, smug smile, or Kisa betting on her in the ring and asking for her winnings.
Paloma Gutierrez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa
This dynamic is so, so messy and I love it so much and am so sad it was so short lived on the show. I was fascinated with the twisted mentor/protege dynamic that came with Kisa trying to recreate Paloma in her image, through a cycle of abuse, but at the same time, actively seeing herself in Paloma and unable to help but be protective of her and unable to act immune to her empathy, no matter how much she tries.
I’d love to read more about the actual hostage situation. How much time did they spend together before Paloma had to go on stage? In particular, I’d love to see more Kisa/Paloma dance lessons, despite how grueling they are, for both of them. I’d love to see Kisa teaching Paloma specific moves, maybe stripping down to her underwear herself to show her how to move, maybe manhandling her into perfect position, or forcing her to redo certain moves until she has it down right.
I’d just love MORE Kisa mentoring Paloma in how to dance, but also for her to teach her how to emulate her, copy her movements, so she’s good enough bait for when she dances in front of an audience. I think that would be delightful in a creepy-sexy way.
I imagine there were was a professional hair stylist who got Paloma ready to go on stage, BUT WHAT IT IF IT WAS KISA. I have such a thing for Kisa personally styling her and brushing and curling her hair for her, especially if she's trying to mold Paloma into a version of herself as bait. I would love it if you extended this beyond her hair—show me Kisa washing her or helping her bathe or helping her personally get her dress on, even if Paloma resents the help.
All the Stockholm Syndrome fuckery, please. Give me Paloma trying to escape Kisa, but failing and getting thrown back into the cage. Paloma offering her body and blood to Kisa as long as she gets to escape, but being unable to. Paloma refusing to help Kisa with her quest and being stubborn and a fighter. Paloma being drawn to this scary dangerous woman despite herself, even though she knows better.
Or Paloma finding out Kisa is also her goddess and torn between her anger at her and her love/worship/devotion towards her. I’d love anything surrounding Paloma’s complicated Kisa feels, her growing identification with her kidnapper, her kidnapper trying to reshape her and a part of Paloma wanting it, her anger and disgust at being kidnapped and used as bait, and the way Paloma tries to seduce and kiss Kisa, getting in too deep emotionally.
Smut-wise, I’d love if Paloma has her period while she’s held hostage and Kisa can smell it the moment it starts (maybe she can even smell the hormonal changes). I’d love it if Paloma displays herself to Kisa and asks Kisa if she’d like a taste like she did in canon.
I love it when we learn more about characters, their feelings, their issues, their deep seated secrets through porn and sex. I’d love anything that explores the issues between Paloma and Kisa with sex—from Kisa’s feelings of self-loathing, to the she mirrors her own abuse with Paloma, to Paloma’s feelings of hatred and defiance but also her love and belief in her goddess and how she reconciles her goddess and her kidnapper as the same person. I love this ship for the messiness between them.
I don’t want any rape fic for them, but I would enjoy dubcon if you wanna go there—the situation is inherently fucked up and I’m all for Paloma seducing Kisa to get out of her situation or consenting to sexual situations so she can escape, whatever dubcony hostage scenario you wanna go for. But I’m also super into consent so I’d love if it if she turned the tables on her, and they were placed on a more equal playing field, especially after Paloma is turned into a culebra.
I was really interested in Paloma specifically saying she went into Jackknife Jed’s by on her own because she wanted power; I’d love to see that explored more, especially given the Is that what you gave me? exchange with Kisa—Paloma trying to get the upper hand on Kisa, or trying to navigate a new world of snakes and monsters by trying to become powerful herself. Maybe she asks Kisa to turn her, instead of Malvado, after Bondage. Maybe Paloma gets hurt and Kisa is forced to turn her. I would love to see the fallout of the situation forcing Kisa’s hand and the ensuing guilt afterwards.
Honestly I’m just fascinated by culebra!Paloma and would love to read more of it, in any capacity. I would really love it if Kisa doesn’t kill Paloma—merely incapacitates her—and later on takes her under her wing. Or Paloma goes her own way after being turned, and they are reunited later, both different and changed, more able to deal with all their baggage.
I’d love an AU where Paloma never seeks out Malvado after Bondage and settles into a life in Houston, but Kisa comes back to her life any way. I’d love it if Kisa comes back to apologize and Paloma has none of it, or if Kisa tries to low key stalk her to make sure she’s doing alright and Paloma can sense her. I’d love if Kisa keeps dropping into her life, or hanging out on the fringes of it, and Paloma is curious about her presence, despite all the pain she caused her. Or Paloma only wants her so she can become a culebra and then ditches her—unhappy endings for these two is really okay.
All the body worship, please! For these two, I’d love if Kisa does the body worshipping, maybe as part of training Paloma to be more like her, by treating her the way she’s been treated as a “goddess,” but also maybe as an apology for her harsh treatment. I like the idea of the role reversal between them, the goddess doing this to her worshipper.
But I’d also be down for Paloma wanting to body worship her goddess, once she finds out her kidnapper is the goddess she prays to—maybe Kisa’s not entirely comfortable with it, given her worship issues, and how vulnerable it makes her feel, but she allows it because she’s putting Paloma through so much. I love that Kisa is Paloma’s goddess and I love that Kisa rejects that label and then calls Paloma the goddess—I’d love that explored in sex any way you can, from Kisa calling Paloma a goddess during porn, or Paloma wanting to have sex to be closer to her goddess, or anything exploring Paloma’s worship and faith in Kisa as a goddess.
I love the thought of Paloma wanting to serve her goddess and enjoying going down on her and bringing her to orgasm, but I also really relish the thought of Kisa on her knees for Paloma and servicing her in whatever way she wants, whether it’s helping her dress or change clothes or getting her off, especially if it’s a way to make up for what she’s doing or done to her. I love the role reversal of Paloma being a goddess and Kisa being worshipful towards her, I’d love to see more of Kisa trying to elevate Paloma into goddess, while trying to ignore her own status as a goddess in the eyes of others. But I also love the thought of Paloma trying to turn the tables on Kisa as well, maybe as a human, maybe as a culebra, but wanting Kisa on her knees for her, wanting to hold the power in their relationship rather than the other way around.
Lastly, Kisa has wings! Feel free to work them in! It'd be so cool if they spread to full wingspan during a moment or orgasm but I would also love Paloma being fascinated and intrigued by her wings, wanting to see them, get close, touch and stroke them. I am especially fascinated by how they're not traditionally pretty angel wings, but leathery bat wings, or seem to look like that, so I'd love any long lingering descriptions of what they're like.
Paloma Gutierrez/Manola Jimenez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa
This threesome is a bit of a long shot and I honestly am not sure how it fully works, but I’d love to see anyone trying to make it or or exploring how it doesn’t work. I love both of these relationships and I am deeply sad about both Manola and Paloma’s deaths, so I’d just like to see what happens when you shove them all together. Especially given the extreme differences between the two.
Some scenarios to get the ball rolling:
Paloma lives! She’s still a culebra and she finds her way to the fight club she heard Kisa was running. Or Paloma gets out without being turned, then tries to track down Kisa and finds her with Manola.
Both Manola and Paloma are dead and ghosts that haunt Kisa, or they’re undead, or revenants of what they once were.
Kisa is with Manola, but Paloma’s ghost still haunts her.
Paloma becomes the new Santanico Pandemonium and Kisa feels drawn to find out what’s going on. Manola accompanies her.
Pre-S1 AU where they all meet as dancers in the Titty Twister.
Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko
Seth/Richie is my OTP of the show, so anything you write for me for them would be greatly appreciated and adored. I love both Seth and Richie so much—together and individually. It’s the ship of my dreams—two messy, fucked up codependent brothers so twisted around the bend for each other where nothing actually can come between them (except each other), the pair of them growing up as two pieces of the same whole, not actually complete without the other, a matching set. I love their coded language of mottos and catchphrases and secret handshakes, I love their banter and their bickering, I love their love of film and film references.
Their shared history of violence and abuse is so important to me and how I view them and how they were shaped. I love the fact that Richie killed their father for Seth, to keep Seth safe, to save both of them from more abuse and I love that Seth never full knew, yet still commemorated the act with a tattoo that covers his entire arm—wearing his heart, quite literally, on his sleeve. There is so much for me with these two that so many things would make me happy.
From the ground up, I’d love a pre-series fic that focuses on them coming together in an incestuous relationship—how they grew up isolated and depending upon each other. I have my own headcanons for how this happened, but I’d love to see a new, refreshing take and always open to exploring new avenues for how Seth and Richie come together. I’d prefer the focus to be on fraught their relationship is and how desperate and clingy they are to each other, and for that to be equal between them—they both show that in different ways (Seth is louder, more action-driven and Richie is more internal, and quiet in his love), but I don’t want to see a situation where one loves and sacrifices more for the other or where one is shown to love the other less.
Uncle Eddie was one of my favorite secondary characters and any use of his would be welcome, I’d love a fic that utilizes Uncle Eddie being the one to raise them post-fire and how they feel about him as they grow, or even an OPOV fic of them from Uncle Eddie’s POV as he watched their fucked up relationship develop and as he comes to understand it.
I also really want to see someone else’s take on how their dynamic grows as they become these legendary criminals that everyone’s heard of. I’d like to see how they build themselves up into these dangerous, terrifying bank robbers that even culebra bigwigs know of. I want an exploration of how they built their legend from the ground up, how they took the Gecko name from something that the criminal community derided to something they respected. I’d love to see a fic that showcases the legends and stories that get passed around about them, or something that shows the truth behind the public perception of them.
I’d be interested in an OPOV fic from the perspective of the FBI hunting the, or the intake officers or the psychiatrist that evaluates Seth when he’s caught and imprisoned—is the fact they’re incestuous in their files, does the law know or even consider it?
Seth keeps asking to be turned. Richie refuses. Seth starts to do more risky and dangerous things.
Richie is hungry and Seth offers Richie his blood.
I would love Seth watching Richie kill someone at any point—maybe even someone for him—and gets very turned on.
Rough sex to stave off other violent urges! I want it in any capacity! Maybe culebra!Richie resisting feeding on Seth by fucking him. Or something set earlier, as humans, Seth keeping himself from murdering someone or doing something violent by having sex with Richie instead. Both of them turning to each other in a sexual ways that turn violent to stave off inflicting violent on others.
Venganza tells the Geckos in order to cement their reign as co-kings/collectors/whatever, they have to have ritual public sex and perform a blood sharing ritual. Could lead to them being soulbonded! Or in order to defeat Amaru, they have to perform ritual public sex in front of everyone. No, I don't really care how contrived that is. Everyone gets to very uncomfortably watch.
Seth/Richie have to get married in some eldritch marriage ritual to have enough power to defeat Amaru. I am not married to a particular definition of what eldritch marriage ritual means, just as long as it's WEIRD and involves some outside creepy cosmic powers. Weird cosmic creepy incestuous marriage sex, yes.
I love the thought of all the culebras wanting to eat Seth and thinking he smells really good, and Richie having to defend Seth and get very possessive over him. I would adore it if Seth had no idea of the effect he had on other culebras. Richie has to mark or brand him as his to keep them away from him! Or more ritual public sex or ritualistic marriage to cement his ownership over Seth to keep him safe.
Seth being down for way too many dangerous and violent activities, either dangerous to himself or to others. Seth up for any kind of risky sex with Richie. Seth happy to cause any kind of mayhem or violence with Richie. Seth wanting Richie to fuck him with a gun and Richie is just, no! Too dangerous, you're a fragile human!
I’d love an AU where instead of going to Mexico, they actually do lay low for a few days, either in a shack somewhere, a motel, or some other state. Maybe Seth is injured on the job and they have to stay, can’t make the crossing with Seth banged up like that.
I would read so much about them robbing banks or just in general, doing crime together. SO MUCH. Or post-series with them trying to rob banks again, but Seth can’t quite keep up and Richie’s powers make it too easy, and the whole thing is just not the same as it was. Then Seth gets injured really bad and they have to figure out where they go from there.
Post-S2, they fuck up running Jackknife Jed’s and piss off the lords, so they have to go on the run from other culebra lords.
I just really liked the episode where Seth almost became a cannibal and thought the show copped out by not letting him eat anyone. Let Seth eat people! Not necessarily Dakota, I like her, but he can at least nibble on someone please. Or an AU where Richie was never kidnapped, and they all think Seth is okay, but he still has cannibalistic urges. Seth trying to hide them from everyone while low key trying to find someone to eat. Richie allowing Seth to chomp on him. At least eat parts of him.
Seth becomes a culebra, for whatever reason. Richie has to turn him to save his life, or Seth asks Richie to do it because he's freaking out about growing old while Richie doesn't, or another reason you can come up with. Or an AU where Seth becomes a culebra first, before Richie.
Richie being Seth's culebra mentor dad. Seth being a really difficult culebra to mentor. Culebra!Seth making life hell on Richie.
Seth becomes ANOTHER kind of monster. You pick which one. Werewolf! Incubus! Whatever you’d like!
Anything when they're teenagers. I love first times and I love them being amoral teenagers who are codependent and fixated on one another and how their relationship develops and grows into something sexual. Hurt/comfort when they're kids—maybe Richie patching Seth up, or visa versa, after Ray beat one of them, maybe Richie getting into a fight at school and Seth defending him or taking revenge. Seth and Richie being so wrapped up in one another that they freak other people out, especially when they're teenagers.
Seth letting the world end for Richie—maybe he agrees to help Amaru in order to get his brother back, but honestly any scenario where he fucks someone over for his brother would make me happy. By the same token, I would love them in any apocalypse scenario: zombies or everyone just disappears, anything! Just leave them isolated with just each other and write how they creepily thrive like this.
I want them to accidentally soulbond. Maybe when Richie first bit him in the S1 finale, that caused some kind of link between them, or maybe they soulbond deliberately, but don't realize the consequences or how intertwined it'd make them.
Dreamsharing when they're separated in S2. Both of them accidentally wandering off into each other's dreams. Seth being upset because he's trying to forget his brother, not see him every night. Kate being freaked out because Seth keeps calling out Richie's name in his sleep and it’s weird. Seth constantly seeing Richie in his head, the way Richie was seeing Kisa in S1. I’d also would love Richie experiencing Seth's drug withdrawals as well, or Seth feeling Richies need to feed through a soulbond.
Anything set during the time when Seth was using heroin and being so self destructive because he missed Richie so bad. Seth relapsing after S2. Or Seth still using drugs throughout S2, being a functional addict, and trying to hide it. Richie helping Seth through withdrawal—maybe he comes to Seth while he's hiding out in Mexico or Seth goes through withdrawal in some post-S2 setting. Or Richie turns him to try and “heal” his addiction, but it only makes things worse.
Seth having nightmares about Richie after S1. Seth having trauma based nightmares at any point in the series. Richie having nightmares pre-series and Seth being there to comfort him.
ANYTHING with Shadow!Richie. Shadow!Richie manhandling Seth around and being more overtly possessive of him. Shadow!Richie refusing to leave or wanting to take Seth with him back down to Xibalba. Shadow!Richie/Seth/Richie threesomes. AU of 3x06 where Shadow!Richie decides to do sexual things to Seth while he is tied up.
AU where Richie gets stuck in Xibalba and Shadow!Richie is top side, but Seth thinks he has the real Richie. Or shadow!Richie lingering inside of Richie and Richie having to contend with him trying to manipulate him from inside his head.
Or Seth knows this is Shadow Richie, and is desperate to get his Richie back, but settles for shadow!Richie for now. Seth trying to keep shadow!Richie from doing anything too evil and offering himself or his body as a distraction.
Anything centering around Seth going down into the Twister's labyrinth to save Richie and bring him back home. Maybe a more Orpheus/Eurydice-style interpretation, or maybe just a missing scene of what happened in canon.
Richie is hungry and Seth offers Richie his blood.
Richie is dead, but Shadow!Richie is still around. Seth supposes he'll do.
Or Richie is dead and Seth can’t let go, so he keeps his corpse around, sleeping with it and touching it and unable to stop himself from going further in his grief.
I love it when EITHER of these two are possessive of one another. Being handsy or overly touchy with one another, PDA to establish a relationship, Richie leaving marks on Seth and laying actual physical claims. Seth throwing a fit whenever Richie spends time with anyone else that isn't him, or whenever he feels threatened by someone else in Richie’s life. All that stuff is catnip for me.
Richie being jealous of Vanessa, Sonja. Seth being jealous of Kisa. Seth deliberately trying to make Richie jealous so he'll do something possessive. Seth just trying to rile Richie up in general, because he enjoys it when Richie “proves” his love.
Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa
These three are everything to me, the pillars that shape the narrative of the show, and I would just love anything that expands upon their dynamic and connection that was showcased in the show. I am fascinated about how Seth and Richie’s relationship is shaped and re-molded by Kisa—first as a wedge that is set between them (a catalyst, really, of the issues already there), then as someone who brought them back together; Kisa is an interesting case of someone able to get between the infamous Gecko brothers and come out unscathed. I’m also in love with how fond they’ve become of her and how in awe they are of her, not in a worshipful, religious way, but of genuine affection, despite the history between them.
They’re such similar creatures, so anything about their dynamic would be a treat. The history between Kisa and Richie is even more complex given she abused and used him, but he has forgiven her, but I imagine that hurt is still there, lingering. I would really love anything that explores both sides—the good and the bad, the ugly and the sweet.
I am fascinated with how the mythos of the show is created around them all being mythic figures that don’t exactly live up to the expectations and are messy and human underneath the layers of performance and lore. They are the core three of the show and I’d love anything that explores that: slow burn future-fic where they come together after Richie turns Seth and Kisa has rebuilt culebra society, or further along the lines, or a post-S2 AU where Kisa decides to stick around and help them run their empire, or keeps coming back to them and finding them comforting or giving Kisa a sense of family, which she’s been seeking for most of her life. A place to rest her weary head, so to speak. I’d love anything that explores her POV of the Geckos as a unit and how their level of fierce devotion must terrify her on some level given the shape her abuse took and how worship and devotion looks to her and feels to her. I’d love anything about her watching them and learning to understand the language they speak in, and in turn, they learn about her as well.
I’D GIVE MY FIRST BORN FOR A POST-S3 AU FIC WHERE RICHIE ENDS UP TRAPPED IN XIBALBA, AND KISA AND SETH MUST RESOLVE TO RESCUE HIM.
Another Post-S3 scenario I’d love is where they meet again down the line some years later, and end up back in each other’s lives. Maybe Richie decides to help Kisa rebuild culebra society and Seth tags along, maybe Richie’s turned Seth into a culebra and wants Kisa’s help, maybe they just accidentally run into each other and get a drink together to catch up, then fall into bed together.
OR! A post-s1 AU where Seth goes with Kisa and Richie and how that changes things. I would love to see Seth being jealous of the Richie/Kisa relationship and wanting to insert himself in the middle, and Kisa trying to win Seth over because she can win Richie over to her side the more she gets Seth to like her, and Richie trying to cope with the force of nature they both are, similar people with similar tempers and tactics, while Richie has to keep up. Or maybe Seth INSISTS on going, despite Richie’s wishes, and how that changes everything. I’d love to see Seth and Kisa fight over Richie or for his attention and Richie just, has a headache about this whole thing. Honestly, just play with the weird complicated mess between all three of them that kind of situation would bring.
I’d love anything tropey for them—all three of snowed in together some place? Pretending to be dating, or pretending that Kisa is their sister for some kind of scheme (that goes kinky places)? Kisa helping them cross dress for some reason? Them all having to plan a heist together and getting into dangerous situations makes them all hot and bothered? I’m all for it. I live for tropes.
Saying that Seth and Richie are really intense about each other is kind of an understatement, so I would love anything that shows Kisa’s OPOV on them and how their extreme affection, codependency, and possessiveness translates to her, given her history of objectification and abuse, and how Kisa tries to understand how this can be defined as “love”. There is a lot of ownership between Seth and Richie, and it’s a welcome consensual kind of ownership and belonging, but I feel aspects of that would be almost triggering to Kisa and I would love to see how she comes to terms with that by being a voyeur. It can either be through accidentally catching them in the act and watching them in secret, or being invited to watch as a show for her—or a show of possession and jealousy on Seth’s end, showing Kisa who Richie really belongs to, as a way of working on his issues towards her.
I would just love to see Kisa watching them at their most intimate and how she reflects on that and how it makes her feel. Or it can be a later situation with a sort of established relationship where Kisa is in charge and is giving them directions on what to do, allowing her to be the spectator who gets a show instead of being the one on display—maybe she asks them to strip for her, or simply she wants to see how they are with each other when no one is watching. Bonus points for her focusing on their physical difference and physicality with each other.
In terms of Kisa’s actual participation, this can go a multiple of ways! I’d love an AU of S1 where Seth actually goes with them like Kisa offered and Kisa orchestrates threesomes as a way of building a connection and team rapport, and showing Seth and Richie that she knows about them and doesn’t care.
Or a S2 missing scene where they all work out their issues between the sheets, with Seth showing Kisa how Richie reacts with him compared to her and her assuring him that she doesn’t want Richie, not forever, and Richie just being caught between the two extreme personalities.
Or post-S3 where Seth and Richie find their way back to Kisa and they fall into a more intimate relationship. I am really obsessed with Seth being the human between these two powerful monsters and I would love that explored in a sexy way! Either they get trapped somewhere and Kisa and Richie are very hungry and need to share Seth as a food source, or Richie chooses to share Seth, or they both show off their culebra characteristics in bed with Seth, like their fangs or scales or their eyes turning yellow. Seth’s perspective on being in bed with two people who could devour him and how he gets off on the danger of it would also be very hot.
I’d love a scenario where Seth is the only human around and both Richie and Kisa are extra drawn to him, either because of some kind of culebra sex pollen that makes Seth catnip to culebras, or Seth is just naturally like that. Either way, I love the thought of Seth as extra tasty. Or if Seth/Richie/Kisa are all stuck somewhere together, maybe unable to leave, and both Kisa and Richie are very hungry. Do they take turns rationing Seth together? Feed off him all once? Accidentally kill him and now they have to turn him?
I’d love focus on the animal and inhuman aspects of culebras during sex, such as their scales, maybe kissing down them or rubbing in them, or their fangs and how it feels to be bitten. I’d love to see Kisa and Richie wrap around Seth for warmth like actual snakes, or do any other snake things together. I’d love focus on Kisa’s wings as well, and stroking them, exploring them, maybe they’re extra sensitive, if you wanna go there.
I love the thought of fragile human Seth between two monsters but I also think it’d be just as hot if he was turned into a culebra as well, maybe to save his life, or maybe because Richie doesn’t want to be without him for eternity, how that falls out and changes the dynamic between the three of them. I’d love to read any kind of filth with the three of them together as culebras, with Richie and Kisa trying to teach Seth how to be a culebra and use his new powers, Seth hunting with them, maybe with Richie and/or Kisa holding someone down for him to eat, or maybe Seth is out of control for a culebra and they have to restrain him. If you wanna write sexy, turn Seth into a vampire during sex, I’d also love the fuck out of that.
Any situation you choose, I’d prefer Kisa only to be in the middle if Richie and Seth are working as a team to get her off (or double-penetration that Kisa asks for) and not sharing her as a way to express their feelings with a girl in the middle. I very much ascribe to the opinion that Richie is the middle of this threesome, given how it’s Richie that ultimately connects Kisa and Seth, so I would love anything that focuses on how Kisa and Seth relate to one another due to their connection to Richie. I would really love Seth sharing how he handles Richie in bed, how Richie gets submissive and needy for Seth and kinks on servicing Seth, which is really interesting to Kisa given Seth’s status as a human.
I would also like Seth watching Kisa dominating Richie in bed or just Richie going down on Kisa, the two of them switching and taking “control” of Richie, or fighting over his attention—or working together to tag team Richie and overwhelm him with pleasure, possibly by tying him up and blindfolding him so he can tell who is who. I would enjoy anything that focuses on Kisa and Seth struggling over Richie and competing for his attention in bed—Seth doing it out of jealousy, while Kisa is doing it for the sheer enjoyment of it. Afterwards, I would like them to snuggle and deal with the emotions that came from sex—unexpected, but not unwelcome. I feel like culebras are very snuggle-y like snakes, and I would love to see Kisa and Richie coil around Seth because he is so warm.
Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko/Vanessa Styles
Vanessa is honestly so fascinating to me and I am so sad she never returned to the show. I really want to know everything about her and how she got involved with Seth, and by extension, Richie. I don’t think her issue with Richie is based on actual hatred, but rather her knowing he always comes first to Seth and her sense of their relationship not exactly being heavy.
I’d love to lean into that and explore just how much she knows and how much she tries to ignore when it is kind of flagrantly right there. I’d love to see the dynamic between her and Richie—what’s it like? How did they manage those years that she and Seth were together? I tend to see Richie and Seth carrying on, with Seth thinking it’s okay, but Richie kind of dying inside feeling like “the other woman,” when in reality, that’s Vanessa.
How you get them into bed together is up to you. Anything would be fascinating to explore because I think there’s a lot more hurt feelings and tensions between them, and Vanessa has less loose morality than Kisa, but if you want it to be one disastrous threesome that never happens again, I am down for that.
Or if you want to try and develop a threesome relationship, I would really love that. Vanessa was supposed to cross over into Mexico with them, so if you wanted to write an AU where canon diverged and she did, I would be interested to see how that goes and how that changes things. I’d also just love anything with them working as a team to rob a bank and how they function as a trio, instead of a duo.
I would really love any and all backstory fic! How Seth met Vanessa, how he decided to marry her, when they got married. Was Seth thinking he could, metaphorically speaking, have his cake and eat it too by keeping his brother and having a wife? Did he eventually want them to have a threesome? I’d love anything that explores their history.
Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa/Vanessa Styles
I just really want to smush them all together into one big, happy, poly incestuous family, so really anything you write for me for them would be amazing. This is the longest shot ship, so I’m really nervous to get too specific, but I just want to explore how Richie and Seth both had relationships with these women and they factor so much into their shared history that I want to see if it works when it’s all four of them.
A few jumping off points:
Any Vanessa goes to Mexico AUs! AUs where she doesnt go to jail and goes with the Geckos to Mexico! Maybe she gets turned instead of Richie, or along with Richie. Maybe she and Seth end up the human!Bonnie and Clyde to the Richie and Kisa snake!Bonnie and Clyde.
Seth, Richie and Kisa bust Vanessa out of jail. Where do they go from there?
Any point where Vanessa busts herself out of jail and tracks Seth down for revenge, and he ends up promising her a score if she works with them. Shippiness ensues.
Any kind of roadtrip AU with all four of them. I would love to see how they make roadtrip with multiple vampires work.
Post-S3 stuff—maybe Geckos team up with Vanessa again and run into Kisa this time. Whatever works for you!

Fandom-specific DNW: Bisexual Richie Tozier or Eddie Kaspbrak. The one exception to this DNW is exploring how each feel about Beverly in context to poly OT7 or smaller poly combinations and expanding on how what they feel for her is bigger than friendship or familial love, but not necessarily romantic or outright sexual. If you want to toe the line on either of them being a Kinsey 5 with a Beverly exception, then I’m cool with that.
Bill Denbrough/Ben Hanscom/Beverly Marsh
I really love the way the films present this “love triangle” in the sense that both Bill and Ben are never openly jealous or resentful of the other, which is really refreshing, honestly. I like how Bill and Ben can be friends and work together without issue. I love that they both respect Beverly’s feelings and don’t pressure her to “choose.” I feel like this a strong foundation for a poly triad dynamic, so that’s kind of what I’m leaning into.
I would love anything with them growing up and kind of figuring out that all three of them really like each other and kind of navigating the idea that they could all be together. I like to live in the AU land where Beverly’s aunt moves to Derry instead of Beverly moving to Portland so they all can go to High School together, so feel free to waive the canon context of Bev’s move for this. Bill comes off like he’s in love with all of his friends, so I’d love to see him kind of pursuing Ben or kissing him unexpectedly and Ben trying to work out how he feels about Bill.
This of course could lead to Beverly taking both of them to the prom. Beverly has two hands!
Or you could work with an AU where they stay together post-Derry and try to figure out how this throuple works without really knowing that this is a thing people do. I’d love to see them fumbling and trying to work out that yeah, all three of them want to be together and not just “share” Beverly.
I’d love a version of Beverly sleeping with Bill from the book, but only it’s all three of them have sex together in the inn and the fallout (or just aftermath) of that.
Or a post-canon fic where Ben and Beverly have gotten together, I would love to see Bill show up at the doorstep, freshly divorced and fully intending to just visit his friends because they’re a little codependent post-canon, but it turns into something more. I love first times and getting together fics, especially for unconventional relationships and would love to see them navigate their new lives together.
If you wanted to write a fucked up fic where Bill and Ben plot and carry out the murder of Tom Rogan, then I wouldn't mind at all.
Bill Denbrough/Georgie Denbrough
Well, I am being shameless and requesting this. For the record: I don’t want anything to happen pre-canon or anything before Georgie is a teenager, but I am really fascinated how fixated Bill can be on his brother and I would love to see it taken to its darkest conclusions.
I’d love any and all fic where Georgie lives, but he isn't okay. Maybe he was saved from Pennywise initially, or maybe Bill really did find Pennywise's lair when they went to go rescue Beverly, but it's been months since he's been gone and Georgie has massive amounts of trauma and has a hard time being around people. He could not remember what happened, or he could refuse to talk about it. I would love Georgie to cling to Bill (maybe he feels like he is the only one who understands him) and for Bill and Georgie to end up very codependent and all snarled up together, with Bill being the only one taking care of Georgie—maybe his parents are happy to have him back but have no idea how to deal with or take care such a traumatized kid—I would like it if Georgie were fucked up in messy ways, like violently acting out.
While I would prefer for any sexual contact to be reserved for when Georgie is a teenager or young adult, I love the thought of Georgie hitting puberty and developing a fixation on his brother that turns into a crush. I would love for Georgie to make the first move and Bill to try to gently turn him down and convince himself Georgie is just confused (Bill can have feelings, too of course, but I like Bill hating himself for it and trying desperately to repress them, and Georgie not getting it—clearly you are the only person in the world who even remotely gets what I went through, Bill!). I would like for older, adult or teen Georgie to try to make friends or date, but he can't connect or bond with anyone else, so it always goes back to Bill. I imagine Georgie is missing an arm and Derry isn't very kind to kids who are different to begin with.
If Georgie's been in the deadlights, I like the thought of him bringing a bit of Pennywise back with him, or hearing Pennywise in his head. Kind of similar to what happened to Henry Bowers, but maybe not so hopelessly doomed? I would love to see Georgie have blackouts or missing time, or maybe he gets violent in ways that scare his parents and they try to send him to Juniper Hill. Maybe Bill runs away with him to keep Georgie from being taken away and now they're on the run.
I can see Bill being the one who stays in Derry to stay with Georgie in this verse, and thus maybe he and his brother are holding down the fort for everyone else, but it also just makes them even messier and fucked up people.
I love the thought of Bill encountering a Georgie from an alternate universe where Bill died instead, especially when Bill is older and he doesn't fully recognize this older looking Georgie. Maybe Bill gets stranded in that alternate universe, or maybe that Georgie gets stranded in the canon universe, or maybe they meet in some crack in the universe, or only in dreams, but I definitely want a messy complicated weird sexual relationship to develop due to them desperately missing each other.
Or maybe an AU where Pennywise doesn’t target Georgie and Bill, but because they’re still in Derry, their parents are still influenced to be neglectful parents, so Bill takes up the slack in raising Georgie. This leaves Georgie with a massive fucked up crush on his big brother.
Pennywise giving Bill creepy Georgie oriented nightmares throughout his life, especially after Bill is an adult, or when he comes back to Derry. I would love it if he took Georgie's form to taunt him about "Hey your fixation on your brother is like, super creepy, and I'm an evil clown." I want him to take an adult form, or at least, older teenager form, if he's gonna sexually taunt Bill and be sexually aggressive towards him.
Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon
That damn forehead touch ruined me. These two seemed to be far closer as adults, probably because Bill is the de facto leader of the group, and Mike is the one who brought them all back together again and I would love to see more of that dynamic—them working together, them being leaders, them leaning on each other. Both of them really seem to not be able to be vulnerable with anyone but each other.
I’d also love anything that explores memory and how Mike remembers them all and Bill doesn’t, and how Bill starts to feel when he meets Mike again. Bill was totally okay with this very handsome man who is overly familiar hugging him and I want more of that.
I loved the scene where Mike drugged Bill to get him to see how to defeat Pennywise and I would love anything that delves into how fucked up that was. I would love drugged, surreal sex, but only if its mutual ( i.e. if Mike also ingested whatever he gave Bill). Maybe he felt he needed to drug himself as well, in order to guide him? And things escalate.
Mike going to a book signing of Bill’s in Portland, against his better judgement and they end up having a one night stand that Mike feels guilty about because he knows who Bill is, but Bill doesn’t know who he is.
Bill divorces his wife and joins Mike on his road trip, then feelings develop. Or Bill divorces Audra and invites Mike to stop by on his way through the area, then Mike never leaves.
ANY OPOV of the remaining Losers to their sudden romance would be both adorable and touching.
Bill and Mike just checking in with each other, post-movie. Long talks on the phone, emails, video calls, texting. They slowly develop feelings through these conversations.
Any kind of teen Mike/Bill things, maybe as a precursor for adult them. That relationship barely got any play in the first movie and I am curious about that dynamic. If you want them to hook up as teenagers, I’d love to see that in relation to memories being forgotten by Bill, but Mike remembering. I would especially love to see their last interaction before Bill forgot Mike.
Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon/Audra Phillips
You know, instead of Audra and Bill divorcing, they try and work it out, then a certain handsome librarian shows up at their door. I’d love to see how Mike fits in with them, maybe how Mike fills in the gaps and strengthens their relationship. Or how they become something new altogether.
I’d love to see Audra and Mike interacting and getting along famously, which brings Bill to view her in a new light. Or Audra kind of picks up on how in love with Mike bill is, and how the two of them communicate and navigate trying to invite Mike into their relationship.
My kingdom for OPOV of famous Audra Phillips and Bill Denbrough seemingly hanging out with and hanging all over some nobody from Maine and people speculating what the hell that’s all about.
Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon/Stanley Uris
Honestly, I ship Mike with both Bill and Stan, and could maybe be into Bill and Stan being a thing, but I just want everyone to love Mike and crush on him at the same time. I’d love something set when they’re teenagers and Bill and Stan are always hanging around the farm, staring at Mike while he does farm work and then getting put to work by Mike’s grandma. I’d love anything where Mike’s grandparents realize first that those boys have a crush on Mike and Mike being all, no you’re being silly!
I like the thought of Stan trying to low key woo Mike without telling him and then Bill shows up as well, think they're just hanging out as friends (but Bill would also like to woo Mike AND Stan). In general, I would love to read teenage boyfriend shenanigans, either prior to getting together or after, trying to make poly work without knowing what poly even is.
Or an AU where all three of them stay behind in Derry, and slowly fall into bed with each other because they have no one else.
I’d love a take where none of them lose their memories—maybe they killed Pennywise for real that first time? Or maybe they didn't lose their memories for some reason—and they all keep on and off dating each other until it shakes out into an actual threesome.
Or if you want to try something established, I’d love anything where the three of them try and go on dates, like Stan taking both of them bird watching or them sleeping out in one of the fields on the farm and stargazing, or Bill talking out his ideas for stories out to them. Just them being all comfortable together.
I would really love to watch them fall in love and come together at any point in their lives, and I know that's a lot for a 300 word exchange, so it's fine to leave it UST or unspoken, but I really would like to see what a three way relationship looks like between them and how they work that out.
Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon/Ben Hanscom/Eddie Kaspbrak/Beverly Marsh/Richie Tozier/Stanley Uris
I want loving group sex orgies set after Stan's death, or prior to his death, or AUs where he doesn't die, or AUs where he and Eddie don't die. I am also interested in gen about the losers club as a whole, especially as adults, and all the ways they are all connected. I’d also love a mix of gen and not gen, how the intensity of their connection blurs the line of friendship into something more indefinable.
I spent the whole movie expecting Mike to suggest an orgy to defeat Pennywise or perform the ritual. I still want that, tbh, where the Ritual of Chüd requires group sex, or they defeat Pennywise by harnessing the power of love...via group sex.
Or they have an orgy to bond them all closer together so they don't forget each other. Or instead of the sewers and the Neibolt house collapsing in them, they're trapped there and having sex together unlocks the way out. I would enjoy a fuck or die, or sex pollen esque scenario, but honestly, I just want the Losers to tenderly, desperately, reaffirm their bond and how much they love each other with sex.
Post-film: they all get together once a year for an orgy to reestablish their bond. They are desperate not to forget each other again.
I would love something that plays with the concept of the infamous gangbang from the book in this version, but maybe when they're older and not with Bev in the middle, necessarily. Maybe they all take turns being the focal point of a gangbang. I wouldn’t like this to replace the blood oath, so having them do both would be great.
I would enjoy a fuck or die, or sex pollen scenario
I’d love anything that explores how they all seem tied to each other and seem to be soulbonded somewhat. Maybe that is the result of the blood oath or the group sex. I’d love them to being able to feel each other’s emotions or hear each other’s thoughts, or share dreams.
Silly teenage games like spin the bottle, or truth or dare, or seven minutes in heaven that they play together as a joke, but turns serious and into something more. Childhood hijinks. Teenage dirtbags, and hazy adolescent summer memories. High school together. Horrible, bittersweet nostalgia.
The Losers being extremely codependent teenagers and the OPOV of how tight-knit they are. Maybe rumors about Beverly and her six boyfriends.
I’d love anything regarding their post-Pennywise trauma and the hurt/comfort of it all. I honestly just want a big Losers group cuddle pile.
I want anything that fills in the gaps between the first movie and the second movie. Adulthood, college, high school years. At what point did they all lose touch with each other? How long did it take for them to lose their memories of each other? Did something ever remind them of each other even while they were out living their adult lives? Bev catches Richie's stand up on a Netflix special? Eddie picks up a copy of Bill's book and has some half vague memory of him he can't quite hold on to? I love the thought of all of them reading Bill's books, even though they don't even like horror. I want them constantly drawn to each other, but not knowing who they are to each other.
Them running into each other, before the events of Chapter 2, in some other capacity, and not entirely remembering the other. Maybe Richie and Bill ran into each other in Hollywood, or Eddie and Stan ended up crossing paths—any combo of a potential meet up would be interesting. They don't entirely know the other person but there's a horrible familiarity. Maybe this leads to sexual encounters.
All the Losers going to Bill's book signing, at various different points in his career and their lives. Bll instantly connects with them, even though he can't remember them. Bill having one night stands with each of them, and parting the next day, and not knowing why that felt like such an intense emotional connection.
All of them intensely missing someone they can't remember. Like a part of them is missing and they can’t figure out why.
Post-second film (with Eddie and/or Stan alive, if you’d like) fic! I'd love to see all the Losers sort of intertwined in each other's lives going forward, like agreeing to meet up again annually, keeping in touch with one another, spending the holidays together. They have found their found family and they get to keep each other now. All the Losers keep in touch with one another, making sure they constantly meet up again, visiting each other yearly at various different points, sending gifts, skype chats, group chats. Just doing their best not to forget each other again. Them becoming each other’s family.
ANY OPOV of them from a media standpoint. Richie, Bev, and Bill are famous to some degree and I'd love anything that explores what people think when Richie starts dating Eddie, or when Bev leaves her husband. I am just curious what an outsider would even think of these changes.
The remaining Losers go into the underworld or afterlife or weird cosmic alt world to get back Eddie and Stan. Undergoing trials to get them back.
When they all get together, the ghosts of Eddie and Stan linger around them. Maybe they can see them, maybe they can touch them.
Vampire AU. I am an absolute sucker for a vampire AU, I would probably read it for every fandom. Maybe Pennywise is an evil vampire clown serial killer, eating children, and preying on the Losers Club. Maybe one of the Losers gets turned into a vampire and they all band together to support them and protect them. Or all the Losers end up becoming vampires, becoming a vampire family of eternal teenagers.
Werewolf AU! Because I love the thought of the Losers Club actually being a pack of werewolves.
Serial killer AU where the Losers are actually a group of serial killing teenagers. They could target other children, or they could be tormenting that sad lonely clown that lives down the road, like a role reversal AU. I would just love to see them as the bad guys, as the darkest versions of themselves, while still being devoted and loving to one another.
Sense8 AU, or in this case—Sense7. Feel free to play around with the whole Sense8 mythology. You can have them all born on the same day, or their soul connection being due to other reasons.
Don Hagarty/Adrian Mellon
I know this is cliched, but they deserved better. I really really want Adrian lives fic, maybe Pennywise doesn’t eat him, but rather he takes him down to his lair for reasons and Don joins the Losers to try and find him. I’d love the fall out of that and the hurt/comfort that will bring. Or maybe someone intervenes, like Mike, and they make it out of Derry together. Or Don gets Adrian back somehow, by whatever means you’d like. Just bring him back.
I honestly kind of fell in love with them a little more after reading the book, so if you feel like drawing some information for backstory from the novel, I would love that. I would like to see their backstory updated for the film timeline. I especially loved the detail that Adrian felt inspired by Derry and that Adrian was a writer. I liked the difference between their perspectives. Don knows the ugliness of Derry all too well, but Adrian caught onto something almost magical.
Or just give me your take on how they met and how they fell in love, then came to live in Derry. I just want to know their full story, not just the end of it.
And honestly, I’d love anything domestic with them! How their day to day lives were, how they were planning on getting out. Their hopes and dreams. Anything like that.
Ben Hanscom/Beverly Marsh/Richie Tozier
If Eddie Must be dead, I would very much like Ben and Beverly to take care of Richie. I would really love to see all three of them together in a Post-Chapter 2 world. Maybe Richie moves in with them and is crashing on Ben’s couch. Maybe they drag Richie on the boat trip. Maybe none of them want to be alone after everything. I thought the movie didn’t have enough time to show everyone mourn who they’ve lost, so I would love to see that in fic, with Ben and Richie and Bev all mourning Stan and Eddie.
They have a grief, but happy-to-be-alive threesome. I would love a threesome—maybe with Bev and Richie ganging up on Ben, or Richie, not really attracted to Beverly, but helping Ben, or something with Richie in the middle and Beverly holding him as Ben takes him apart and makes Richie cry. I see it as a mutual V-shaped thing, with both Ben/Richie and Bev/Ben coexisting together at once, while Richie loves Beverly in deep, indescribable ways. I would love it if it became a long term thing.
Honestly, just Beverly and Ben trying to help Richie move on and take care of himself, but also love all over him after he comes out. Or the same with Ben or Beverly at the center. Ben and Richie helping her move out and protecting her from Tom would be wonderful.
I really loved the fake out kiss between Bev and Richie in the movie (and Ben’s face!) and would like more of that, like the opposite of gay chicken. Hetero chicken. Post-Chapter 2 with Richie and Bev being more comfortable to fake out hetero things and Ben being pleasantly confused about it would be delightful.
One of my absolute favorite moments is Richie hugging both of them after Ben kisses Bev to get her out of the deadlights. The thought of Richie shipping them from that age is cute and I would just like to see more of them in a more teenaged, high school context.
Ben Hanscom/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier
I am going to be straight with you here: I honestly just want Eddie and Richie to tag-team Ben after both of them lusted all over him in the Jade Orient scene. I am shocked and disappointed that this has not actually been written and I just need it to exist. I’d love any combination of Eddie and Richie worshipping Ben’s body, or Richie and Ben dp-ing Eddie, or Ben and Eddie working Richie through his gay sex issues… with lots of sex. I just love that Richie openly told Ben how hot he was and want all the filthy porn that stems from that—especially since I doubt Richie is very experienced.
Or maybe a post-canon fic, where they all move in together.
I can see Richie taking a sabbatical from life and his work, Eddie from his sham of a marriage, and they go and shack up with Ben in his giant house. Or I can see Ben inviting them both over because he’s worried and wants to keep an eye on them, but really he wants to hoard all the Losers closer to him. I do not want Beverley to be dead—maybe she’s just not ready for a relationship with Ben immediately after, or Ben never managed to confess his feelings, so nothing has happened there yet. I would really love to see Richie and Eddie to encourage Ben to make a move on Bev, despite making out with Ben in the same breath.
Anything exploring all their issues—Ben being scared to be alone, Richie trying to be more open about gay, Eddie trying to reclaim his life and his autonomy, and how they help each other.
But also, what if Richie and Eddie thought Ben was hot in high school too! I’m always up for teenage romance puppy love. Maybe Richie and Eddie are already together, but open with each other about liking Ben, and Ben starts to notice their attention the more he spends time with Richie and Eddie. Maybe they end up fooling around some. Maybe Richie and Eddie decide to seduce him.
Eddie Kaspbrak & Beverly Marsh
Their parallels will be the death of me and I just want so much more from their dynamic! The movies gave them a lot of visual parallels, but never them bonding and I would like more of their friendship, more of moments like Bev handing Eddie a weapon and giving him strength to believe in himself, or just Eddie watching out for her.
By that same token, I’d love hurt/comfort growing up. I want so much of them being kids with abusive controlling parents and having such empathy towards each other. I would love for Bev to run to Eddie after a particularly bad day with her dad, or for Beverly to break Eddie out of house arrest when his mom decides not to let him out. Maybe them comparing their parents, venting, maybe being friends before the start of the movie and no one else realized. Maybe Eddie defends her honor and tries to stop the spread of rumors or sticks up for her.
On another note, I'd love to see some kind of dark take on them--maybe they work together to kill their parents.
Working through messy divorces together. I would love for Eddie (along with the other Losers) to help Bev move her stuff out or provide a soft spot to land. Beverly supporting Eddie through a messy divorce. Both of them getting drunk together over their shitty marriages, maybe crying and definitely snuggling.
I’d kill for an AU where Eddie and Beverly get married while being the ones to stay behind in Derry. I love the thought of them in a marriage of convenience, but one that works out for them despite an incompatible sexual attraction. I wouldn't mind if you wanted to go there with sex, but I see it as more them being lonely and doing something nice for the other...maybe Eddie is trying to convince himself he can be straight or into women, or Beverly offers sex and they try it out to see if it works—basically I see them in that no man's land that's not platonic, but isn't romantic, either.
I could also see them both having affairs with others, and not caring because they're really more of a long term partnership who have each other's backs regardless. I would love to see them research how to fight and kill Pennywise together. Maybe they each try and reach out to other Losers, like Eddie going to one of Richie’s shows and hooking up with Richie who doesn’t remember him or Beverly going to a signing of Bill’s, and they each have to pick up the pieces in the aftermath because they can’t make them remember until it’s time.
Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier
I am honestly so overwhelmed by my Richie/Eddie feelings that I don't really know where to start so these prompts are ALL over the place. I have seen Chapter 2 twice now and I keep noticing things, so my feelings are a little intense. I’d love anything with them, basically!
Eddie lives! I don’t care how! I will devour any and all the post-canon Eddie lives fic. I would love to see Eddie move in with Richie, or Eddie and Richie go on roadtrips together, or Richie confessing his feelings, or Eddie confessing his feelings. Just both of them falling back in love with each other and trying to make a relationship work. I’d really love it if the heightened emotions of the situation and all their memories coming back making them act impulsive and reckless, then them having to figure out stuff down the line.
I would love any hurt/comfort with them coping with the trauma of what they went through in Derry, either post-canon or post-Chapter 1. Maybe they have nightmares and only admit it to one another, or Richie fussing over Eddie because he is so scared of losing him again. Or wound tending! Eddie taking care of Richie and Richie taking care of Eddie.
I’d love anything that fills in the gaps of Chapter 2. There are sections where Richie is gone and he knows things he shouldn’t know, like how Eddie stabbed Bowers. I’d love to see those moments in between scenes. Richie fretting about the knife wound and feeling guilty because he wasn’t there. Or Richie comforting Eddie in the Neibolt house after Eddie failed to act. Or write my the ~rumored~ kiss that was supposed to happen after Eddie saves Richie.
Eddie doesn't die, but gets seriously injured. Richie stays with him in the aftermath at the hospital or through the entire recovery period. Or in an effort to save Eddie, Richie gets severely injured instead and Eddie steps up and takes care of him, making sure the doctors do their job.
ANYTHING about Richie and the deadlights. Richie has visions now! Richie is super annoyed by this! Eddie trying to help him with it.
Richie can’t let go and wants to bring Eddie back. Have fun with the universe, do a ritual or Richie has to go into the underworld and complete trials. Or Richie manages to bring his corpse up from the caverns and there’s a bit of necromancy. Eddie coming back a bit wrong is up to you. I’d just love any and all Richie brings Eddie back stories.
Eddie as a restless, vengeful spirit, who haunts the losers, protective of them and taking out his rage on others around them (like Bev's husband, or people mean to Richie). He haunts Richie the most.
Time travel shenanigans! Richie goes back in time to stop Eddie's death and gets caught back in '89, or gets stuck in a timeloop or a teenage Eddie ends up in the 2016 timeline post-Eddie's death, leaving a grief-stricken messed up Richie stuck with him. Go wild.
Richie being punched in the gut with his feelings for Eddie that he had completely forgotten about until he laid eyes on him again. Eddie feeling the same way. Maybe they end up making out in the bathroom at the Jade Orient because they can’t contain their feelings.
Eddie discovers the kissing bridge, either post-canon or some other time before that. Eddie adding to it when he finds it.
Growing up, Richie gets really fixated on Eddie's short shorts.
The hammock scene wrecked me. I would love more snapshots of their childhood, whether they're more moments in the hammock, or them smushed together on the couch watching movies. Just all times when they were both heavily in each other's personal space, casually touching one another and trying to act like it's not weird or that they’re seriously crushing on one another.
I love the thought of Richie being in love with Eddie, but not sure how to handle those feelings, believing it's unrequited. I love the thought of Eddie being in love with Richie, but not sure what those feelings even mean or how to name them. I love the thought of both of them just flirting with the thought of being into each other, but never anything past plausible deniability.
Richie and Eddie having blow out, intense bickering fights as a form of foreplay. Eddie being surprisingly forward and bossy and rough.
Eddie gets jealous and mad and cranky whenever Richie hangs out with other boys and plays arcade games with them, and he doesn't know why!
Maybe Richie and Eddie did act on their feelings—like mutual mastrubation sessions with Richie framing it as trying to show Eddie how to properly jerk off because he's doing it wrong, or practicing kissing with each other. I’d love any kind of budding queer sexualty, or them ending up in a secret friends with benefits situation that they both try to tell each other isn't gay at all, it's just blowing off steam or convinence. Teenage dirtbags in love, struggling to make it work.
Or they admit their feelings and become “official” and tell the other Losers, or the other Losers find out because of hickeys or bruises and Richie can’t keep his mouth shut. I’d just love awkward, intense teenage fumblings at a relationship and pushing their friendship past something else. Then they slowly start to unravel the more distance they put between themselves and themselves and Derry, until they forget it ever happened.
Them in the photobooth alone together. Them making out in the hammock. Alone at the movies together. Kissing under the kissing bridge. Eddie sneaking Richie in through his bedroom window. Dating in a way that’s not really dating, but they do everything together. Sleepovers with just the two of them and they share a bed. They get older and Richie gets a car, which gives them more freedom to just be. Just them being teenagers in love.
Them being vulnerable with each other as teenagers. Eddie letting Richie know more about his home life. Eddie trying to escape it by staying over at Richie’s. Bittersweet discussions of the future.
Richie and his “Eddie is in danger” radar. Richie being violently protective of Eddie in shocking ways. Eddie returning the sentiment.
Sonia finds out and tries to keep them apart. Sonia won’t let Eddie come out and play, so Richie (along with the other losers, naturally) bust him out. Maybe they run away together! Maybe they’re together from the time they’re teenagers until 2016.
Or maybe they meet again, after leaving Derry and forgetting, then fall in love and Eddie marries Richie instead of Myra (when it’s finally legal), then they get the phone call from Mike.
Eddie gets a job or commission to do a risk assessment for Richie Tozier, semi-famous, up and coming comedian. Eddie doesn't know him, but the more he works for him and spends time with him, the more things start to come back for both of them (no, I don't know how risk assessment works and nor do I really care).
Or Eddie goes to a live show and feels the need to go to the meet and greet. They end up hooking up, though neither of them tend to do this ever, but they can’t deny the weird, electric attraction they felt upon seeing each other and the buzzy, intense feeling they felt when they shook hands, each other feeling a similar scar on their palms.
I will never turn down a werewolf or vampire AU, especially not for these two.
Or a serial killer AU, or just Eddie ends up accidentally (or maybe on purpose) killing his mother and Richie goes on the run with Eddie.
Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier/Stanley Uris
I love the entire dynamic of Eddie and Richie constantly arguing while Stan looks so done with both of them in the background. Stan is always rolling his eyes at them. I'd love more of his POV, in general. I see him as the straight man in their three person group. I would love to see how a threesome develops, whether they get drunk and just started experimenting, or something a lot more deliberate happens. I headcanon that they were all friends before they all met Bill, so there’s some sandbox love history there to be mined.
Or something when they're adults—maybe the three of them end up in the same place together for reasons, before any of them have met their wives. They end up spending New Years together in New York, and run into each other, or they go back to Derry at the same time for a holiday, or start to remember each other, if not Pennywise, or perhaps they go back for Eddie's mom's funeral.
I would adore some kind of established Richie/Eddie, who invite Stan into their relationship. If you somehow can make a domestic AU where they’re all living together, in a relationship together work, I’d love to see anything domestic.
Any high school-era shenanigans. Richie and Eddie dragging Stan on adventures, Eddie and Stan uniting against Richie for the side of reason. Eddie and Richie teasing Stan and Stan giving back as good as he gets.
I am kind of in love with the thought of the three of them as college roommates. Maybe in an AU where they do remember Derry for reasons (Pennywise is for real dead? Soulbond? Deadlights? Or just being in close proximity to each other? Whichever!) and they end all codependent on each other. But also college shenanigans!
Stan survives his suicide attempt, whether he comes to Derry in bandages, having escaped the hospital somehow, taking his living as a sign. Or he is hospitalized throughout the entire fight with Pennywise. Eddie and Richie come to visit him and there is crying and some yelling and a lot of feelings.
I would also love to read about Stan struggling with the trauma from IT/Pennywise and having suicidal tendencies and feelings as a teenager as well, with Richie and Eddie taking care of him or being supportive or there for him. I’d love for a hurt/comfort scenario to lead to kissing.
Stan/Eddie/Richie ghost threesomes! In general, I would love Richie haunted by Stan and Eddie, and Richie feeling horrified, but not wanting them to go. I am okay with however you wanna depict the ghosts, as shadows of their former selves, in a come back wrong sort of way, or mostly the same, but not able to move on.
Mike Hanlon/Beverly Marsh
I am forever obsessed by how much Mike admired Beverly and how much it meant to him for her to throw that rock at Bowers. IT WAS HIS TOTEM. That’s an intense depth of emotion there and I would honestly love to see that explored, his intense feelings about Beverly and towards Beverly, the journey to finding his totem.
Branching off that, I’d love anything with them as teenagers. Mike is so quiet as a kid and I’d love to see them grow closer together and what their dynamic is like as children, then as teenagers. Maybe Mike has a crush on Beverly, too, but it’s bad enough that Ben and Bill like her, he’s sure he has no chance. Maybe Beverly likes him, too. But she likes all of her boys, so she’s not sure what it means. Maybe Mike goes to high school instead of being homeschooled and they become like an almost not-actually-a-couple power couple. Like Prom King and Queen!
Or maybe an AU where Beverly doesn’t move away and stays in Derry, but either actually killed her dad by smashing his head with the toilet cover, or he survived, but now she’s avoiding home and looking for a safe place to stay. I would love for Beverly to move in with Mike and stay at the farm. I don’t care how feasible or plausible that is, I just want it.
Speaking of moving to the farm, maybe Beverly starts hanging out there as a way to escape her dad and eventually she’s just invited to stay. I think the Hanlons are more aware of what Derry is and what its hiding and they would see right through the bullshit, and realize Beverly is being abused and maybe want to help?
Or maybe Beverly decides to stay behind with Mike in Derry and they grow kind of codependent and intertwined, forging a bond of two outsiders that the town reviled trying to save that very town.
I’d also like something creepier, like Mike calls Beverly telling her that Pennywise is back, knowing that she'll immediately leave Tom and run to Maine. It's not the first time he's done this.
Or! Beverly keeps having visions of Mike, but she doesn’t know who he is—I would love for instead of Mike tracking her down, she tracks him down (and maybe the other Losers).
Post-canon fic is always welcomed—I want so much fic set after the movie with all of them trying to move on and dealing with both the trauma of fighting Pennywise, losing Eddie and Stan and dealing with getting their memories back. I’d love to see a weird, slightly uncomfortable codependence between them especially with Mike not wanting to let any of his friends go again. I’d love for Mike to end up helping Beverly move out of her place with Tom, or for Mike to end up staying with Beverly in some way (feel free to have Ben/Bev not get together right away, or be poly or have threesomes).
Mike Hanlon/Eddie Kaspbrak
So after rewatching both movies about a billion times, it’s become apparent to me that Eddie and Mike were friends pre-the rock war. When they find his bike, all the other’s call Mike the homeschool kid and it’s Eddie that confirms that it’s Mike’s bike by using his name. Then after the fight, Mike leads Eddie away by holding his hand. That… is what I want to explore. This background friendship that was implied, but never fully explained or explored.
If you want to include details from the book, I really like the detail that Eddie befriends Mike despite his mother’s racist tirades against him and that Eddie likes to hang outside Mike’s church because he likes the gospel music drifting outside. I’d love anything about how they met and how they became friends, how Mike feels about Eddie and vice versa.
Eddie running away from home and hiding out on the farm! Or maybe just sneaking in through Mike’s window and staying the night. I think Eddie feels safe with Mike and I like to think Mike is a little protective. Like I love the deleted scene where Mike puts Eddie in his basket on his bike after he breaks his arm. More of that!
Kind of riffing off my Mike/Beverly prompts, I’d also like Mike realizing what kind of life Eddie is leading and he tries to “save” him from it by calling him and inducing his memories. Or maybe Mike keeps checking in on him since Eddie is so close, it could be a day trip.
Or maybe Eddie stays behind accidentally because he gets stuck taking care of his mother because she falls very ill, and being the last ones left, he and Mike kind of strike up a relationship made of codependency and loneliness.
Mike can’t let it go that Eddie died when he can figure out how to bring him back. Go as creepy as you like with this, lean into that weird worldbuilding.
Eddie haunts Mike as a ghost because no one else can see him.
Mike Hanlon/Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier
Okay, listen, you might have noticed that I like putting Richie and Eddie with a third dude loser a little—maybe a lot a little, but can you blame me when they all grow up to be babes? So I will start with my shallow prompt: I really want porn with all three of them falling into bed together. Maybe post-canon, or maybe at the Derry Inn, or maybe when they’re teens, or maybe Mike and richie hook up and Eddie’s ghost joins them, whatever you like! I’m not picky!
Richie and Eddie are established post-canon, and Mike comes to stay with them along his road trip and he decides not to leave. I’d love anything domestic and falling into a throuple situation. Or just Richie and Eddie want to thank Mike for bringing them back together—with sex.
Maybe Mike helps Richie get Eddie back, both as an apology and because Mike himself wants Eddie back, and feelings develop through the process, with Eddie coming in and making everything more complex.
I’d love anything with them as kids, maybe Richie and Eddie are established, but want to seduce Mike because they both think he’s cute.
ANYTHING that explores how Mike feels about the two of them, his OPOV on them, coming from maybe knowing Eddie, but not knowing Richie except through stories Eddie told him, Mike slowly falling a bit in love with them.
Mike Hanlon/Richie Tozier
These two don’t get enough material in either film, but I think they’re an interesting combination and I’d love to see anything exploring how their friendship was built as kids! Maybe Richie finds himself going to the farm when he’s bored and he and Mike just read comics in companionable silence, maybe Richie feels safe enough there to admit he’s gay and they kiss! I just love the idea of soft teenage fumbling.
Richie straight up murdering a guy for Mike gave me a bucketload of intense feelings. Give me more protective Richie! On the flipside, I love the complicated issues between Mike and Richie given how much Richie felt lied to and betrayed and angry about Mike calling them back without fully explaining. I would like something that works through more ugly emotions that Richie has towards Mike and Mike’s guilt over Eddie’s death.
All the hurt/comfort, either as adults, or as teenagers. Any kind of romantic or flirty feelings that don't get a chance to bloom until adulthood would be lovely.
Maybe someone else stays in Derry and Richie follows Mike to college in Florida because it sounds like a good idea.
It looked like Richie was still in Derry at the end of the movie, which makes me really want fic where Richie stays with Mike after killing Pennywise and Eddie's death. I would love Richie not being able to make himself leave and he just ends up living with Mike accidentally.
They go on a roadtrip together. Mike picks him up from the kissing bridge and asks if he's ready to go. I'd love for them to comfort each other and get to know each other again.
Mike Hanlon/Stanley Uris
I recently latched onto this ship when I rewatched the first movie and saw how much Mike and Stan stood by each other and comforted one another. Mike is the only one to reach out when Stan is crying at the Neibolt house and wraps him up in his arms. That part did me in and now I’d really just love anything that explores their dynamic further.
I’d love anything with them as teenagers. They’re the only ones not involved in any intra-Losers relationship drama, between the Bill/Bev/Ben love triangle and whatever Richie and Eddie are, they really only have each other as a lifeline. I’d love anything that builds on that quiet solidarity and explores their friendship that could lead to something more.
In the book, Stan likes birds and bird watches, and I kind of love that, so i’d like to see Stanley taking Michael while he goes looking for birds. There’s also a kind of headcanon that Stan is a photographer and that really hits me as making so much sense since he’s such an observer of the group, so anything to do with Stan taking pictures and Mike helping, or Stan making Mike the subject of his photos.
I don’t really want anything issue fic-like, but it would be nice to see some of their different histories and cultures coming into play, like Mike is curious about Stan’s Jewish holidays or Stan asking Mike difficult, but welcome questions, them relating on a different level than the other Losers, having quiet and deep conversations between each other. Mike bringing Stan to the farm, Stan asking Mike to attend services at the synagogue.
Anything with awkward teenage fumbling and falling in love and coming to terms with their sexuality, or figuring themselves out with each other.
Stan and Mike go to Florida after High School Graduation together. Give me the road trip, what they do, maybe their feelings come spilling out and it’s bittersweet because Stan is going away to college and Mike has to stay in Derry.
Mike remembering Stan throughout the years. Mike writing Stan letters he never sends. Maybe he gives them to him when he sees him again.
Stan staying in Derry with Mike. both of them trying to work together to defeat IT/Pennywise, but also Mike trying to hold Stan together. I am fine with you including suicide attempts and Stan’s struggle with depression while Mike tries to desperately hang onto him.
Instead of calling Stan, Mike remembers Stan is more skittish and has more Pennywise related trauma, so he makes time to go fetch Stan in person. Cue Mike showing up on Stan’s doorstep and Stan is confused as to why this mysterious and handsome stranger is there.
Mike is haunted by Stan’s ghost. Stan's ghost follows him throughout his road trip.
Mike Hanlon/Patricia Blum Uris/Stanley Uris
I might have fell a little in love with Patty when reading Stanley Takes A Bath and god, do I wish we got more of her in the films. I wanted to ask for Stan/Patty fic, but because this is for film fic, I didn’t want to be that person to tell them to write characterization from the book. But I do very much like her and I’d love anything that’s inspired by and updated to work with the film, but please don’t feel pressured to follow the book at all. The only thing I ask is that you keep Patty Jewish.
So for this, I’d really like the idea that Mike and Stan had a fling as teenagers and thus, Mike is the ex Stan forgot until Mike calls and it comes all rushing back. I’d love anything that explores Stan coming to terms with still loving Mike and loving Patty at the same time and trying to figure how this works. I’d love any and all Stan Lives AUs exploring this (I’d also like to keep Stan’s suicide attempt in tact, but Patty just gets to him quick enough).
Stan escapes the psych ward and heads to Derry to help in the fight after his suicide attempt. He now has to face going home to a very worried and upset wife. He brings Mike with him as a buffer. Patty and Mike bond, surprisingly and Stan starts thinking he could have both.
Or Mike goes to Atlanta to get Stan personally, but Patty insists on coming too, thus bringing Patty in on the secret and the fight with IT/Pennywise. Patty now understands more about Stan, but also grows to admire Mike. They all go home together.
If you want to write an AU where Patty moves to Derry when she was a kid/teenager and joins the losers Club, I’d honestly love that. I’d love to see their relationship develop from that point on. Maybe Patty and Stan choose to stay with Mike, when everyone else leaves. Or! Mike isn’t the one to stay behind and he goes to college with Stan, where they both meet Patty and fall in love.
Or Mike travels to Atlanta to meet Patty post-It Chapter 2 to console her, but ultimately Patty wants answers. Maybe they come to an agreement to bring Stan back. Mike and Patty going into the underworld for Stan!
Honestly, I’d love anything for these three, so feel free to go wherever your muse takes you.
KNIVES OUT (2019)
↳ Ships: Benoit Blanc/Marta Cabrera, Marta Cabrera/Ransom Drysdale
Benoit Blanc/Marta Cabrera
Crime solving! I loved that Benoit took Marta as his Watson apprentice, that entire dynamic was amazing. I would love to see more; maybe now that Marta doesn't have to work, she decides working with Benoit would be fun and interesting and a worthy cause to throw herself behind. I'd love to see him train her further.
Honestly, It would be wonderful if they went undercover as a couple, or they got to go to fancy places together, or Monoco or the opera, or have Marta get Benoit to fancy places with her new connections.
Domestic stuff between them—I'd love for Marta be living in the giant mansion and for Benoit to keep on dropping by to check in on her, discuss cases with her, hang out for her a bit, sleep over because it's cheaper than a hotel, until it gradually becomes apparent that he really just wants to spend time with her. I would love it if he ended up accidentally moving in as well.
Porn—if all you wanted to write was a PWP, I would totally be down with that. I'd love for Benoit to eat Marta out, sex while undercover, sex during a stake out, or for Marta to bang him in her new house, maybe all over the house.
Any OPOV on them getting together. What does Marta's mom think of this new man? Her sister? Or if you wanted to include the gossip among the Thrombeys about the goings on in their father’s house, or even the media attention! That would be delightful.
I really loved the section of the movie where Marta thought she was lying to Benoit and was almost a femme fatale to his hardened detective, so if you wanted to lean into that and write a noir AU of them, I’d love that.
Marta Cabrera/Ransom Drysdale
Wouldn’t it have just been so much easier just to try and seduce Marta and make her fall in love with you, Ransom? Why did you pick the most convoluted way of getting what you wanted? Oh right, because you’re an asshole. My caveat for this fandom is that I don’t want any sort of redemption for Ransom, I don’t think he can “get better”. I think he’s too far gone for that. But I would like to see scenarios where he was a little more crafty and sneaky.
So I’d love to see an AU where after Harlan tells him his plans, Ransom decides if Marta is going to get the money, he may as well marry her and then he can have all of it. Then begins the difficult seduction of Marta while Harlan watches and knows exactly what’s going on, but thinks Marta is smart enough to figure it out on her own. So anything with Ransom trying to be charming, overly flirty, trying to make her think he is her friend.
Or I’d love an AU where she does eventually agree to marry him, but he still fully intends to murder her and maybe he catches some sort of feelings, but he’s pissed off by them because it is meant to be easy, right?
Or you could just give me ill-advised sex while Marta thought he was her ally and her feeling kind of gross after everything comes out.
Marta writes Ransom letters in prison, detailing what she is doing with his inheritance, as revenge.
THE MAGICIANS (TV)
↳ Ships: Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater/Margo Hanson/Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh/The Monster
Fandom-specific DNW: Quentin's death being permanent. He can die, but I would prefer an implication that he is going to come back, or someone is going to rescue him.
Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater/Margo Hanson/Eliot Waugh
*NOTE: I am combining these two ships because I am okay with all these ideas having Margo included, or without and just focus on Quentin and Eliot. Feel free to mix and match!
That bit in ep 2? Where Eliot says if Quentin he'd kicked out of Brakebills and loses his memory, Eliot will show back up and lift up his spirits and put the sparkle back in his life? Yeah, I want that AU. Eliot going out to find Quentin so he can keep him in his life, even if his memories are gone.
I would read all about these two performing and doing magic together. Magic that goes wrong, or sexy spells or just combining their magic together to something, make something, fix something together. I'd love anything ranging from sex magic to just a quiet moment with them making flower grow.
I love the necrophilia to bring someone back to life trope, so in the wake of the S4 finale, I would really love that.
Groundhog Day AU! Quentin having to save Eliot over and over. Or Eliot having to watch him die and save him constantly.
Anything with ruling Fillory together, during that time period in early s2 where I legit thought they would all co-rule as kings and queens, either with Margo involved in a platonic way or ship way.
I’d love more of either Quentin or Eliot having visions or hallucinations of each other while Eliot is possessed. Maybe they’re able to visit in their dreams, but neither are sure it’s real or just more torment.
Quentin and Eliot discover some dark magic or dark magic texts and get addicted to using it.
I love any kind of serial killer AU, especially if there's a murder road trip involved. Either one of them being the serial killer is fine, though I have a love for Eliot being fucked up and twisted and Quentin following him anyway and I would also be into both of being a serial killer couple. They can also still be magicians or somewhat magical as well.
Quentin repeatedly dying and Eliot bringing him back each time but he comes back a little wrong each time.
Ghost sex to bring Quentin back to life.
The reveal this show has multiple timelines and alternate universes has made me want fic where Quentin runs into "Eliot" from another universe and doesn't realize that he's the evil version at first. Or doesn't realize that he's another Eliot. Or Quentin from another universe or timeline comes to this one to find his counterpart dead and Eliot tried to keep Alt Quentin and only later finds out he's an evil amoral version of Quentin. Or any kind of EVIL TWINS trope. I'd love a comedy version of this but also a dark twisted sad version as well.
ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE AU. I'd love to see how Quentin and Eliot survive it, given their magic, or would they just stop the apocalypse before it escalates because of magic.
Any kind of domestic fic where they make it work somehow and end up raising kids in this timeline as well.
Bringing Quentin from the dead. Maybe they have to go into the underworld, Orpheus and Eurydice-style or there is a dark magical ritual that involves anything gross or uncomfortable things. Bring him back however you like!
Cracky, magical weirdness or horror weirdness. Like them trapped in a horror movie, or creepy, magical forests.
Time loops! They have to work to get out of it, or something like mosaic timeline. I really love how the show plays with time and timelines, so lean into that.
Monster transformations, like Quentin gets turned into a werewolf or Eliot becomes a vampire. I would love if maybe when they turn, they turn the others on purpose or by accident.
Underworld rescue, time to go save Q. Margo and Eliot go save Quentin and bring him back from the dead, however you want to do it. Feel free to add the others also rescuing Quentin or helping, just as long as the main ship is Quentin/Eliot/Margo or Quentin/Eliot.
Alternatively, give me more of Quentin and Margo working together to save their Eliot! I was saddened that Margo wasn't as much a part of that and I would love to see a different take, with Margo and Quentin bonding, both trying to manage the monster in some ways and Margo/Quentin hurt/comfort over the trauma of the whole experience.
AU where Quentin doesn't die and they get Eliot back at the end of S4. I would love some trauma recovery from that ordeal, and them taking care of each other and maybe struggling to recover but struggling together.
Margo and Eliot dom Quentin, either in a formal BDSM way with safe words and negotiations or with their sex lives, they gradually realizes Quentin likes being ordered around and manhandled.
Early s1, with Eliot and Margo deciding to seduce Quentin together. I'd love both them making it a competition that escalates, or if they agree to tag team him. I would love it if Quentin is oblivious to what they're doing but also perhaps as not as much as a newborn naive baby in the woods as they assume him to be.
Anything with the S1 threesome itself or the aftermath. I always wish we got more follow through or at least, more or the hurt/comfort that lead to Margo and Quentin having sex and how that escalated to a threesome.
I love how genuinely goddamn anything is possible in this universe but the plot moves so fast that it's hard to really enjoy the general crackiness of the so what I am saying, I would like anything that embraces how absurd the verse can be and runs with it.
Sex pollen is always fun, or creative playful uses of sex pollen or magical rituals that require sex. I would love them stumbling into a field of Fillory flowers that are dangerous, either in a sex pollen or fuck or die sort of way, but also causes any number of weird things. Maybe flowers that make them all tell the truth or they accidentally get turned into animals!
Or for them to piss off some magical forest Fillory creature that soul binds them, forces them to be unable to leave each other's sides, makes them all switch bodies, etc.
Dreamsharing for everyone!
I'd love a werewolf AU where SOMEONE gets it by a werewolf and they have to cope with that somehow. I vote for Quentin to be the one bitten, but whatever makes the story work best. I'd love for a little wolf pack AU where they all become werewolves as well.
Or on the flip side, Eliot becomes a vampire. Or Margo becomes a vampire. Play this as fun and sexy, or dark as you want. I'd love to see what a vampire magician looks like, I'd love to see the rest of them adjust to new changes (and sexy bloodsharing), but I would also dark stuff with escalating murder and/violence because of their transformation.
Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh/The Monster
I really want creepy intense dubcon with The Monster in Eliot's body. There are many ways I can imagine this: from Quentin trying to stop The Monster from hurting other people or doing bad things by offering up his body/sex/sexual favors, or The Monster “allowing” Eliot to come out for moments with Quentin or even sex, but only temporarily. Any kind of unhealthy sexual coping mechanisms and rough sex with The Monster as some kind of bargaining tool would be amazing.
A timeloop where Quentin keeps dying, and Eliot has to try to stop it, but he can't. Eliot trying to figure out ways to save Quentin. The pain of watching him die over and over becoming overwhelming and too much.
Transference issues, with Quentin missing Eliot so bad and The Monster pretending to be him. I would love for Quentin to angrily reject The Monster's attempts at acting like Eliot, but also get to a place where he is so badly fucked up, he is willing to take The Monster's fucked up comfort. I would love hurt/comfort with The Monster doing the comforting.
Quentin trying to keep The Monster in check, playing games with him, and teaching him about humanity. Or trying to. More of their dynamic, really.
The monster performing seemingly innocuous displays of affection, like hugs and snuggles, and Quentin freaked out about it, but not feeling like he can reject these displays or else he might upset The Monster.
The monster being possessive of Quentin, and refusing to let him go, and not wanting him to like any other friends better than him. Killing people around him (though I prefer no named characters like Julia or Margo die), isolating him, maybe taking him away somewhere, forcing him to play his games.
Quentin getting used to The Monster, maybe even growing to care for him, much to The Monster's delight. Creepy monster fluff. Quentin becoming codependent with The Monster and socially isolated from everyone else, while he tries to find a way to get Eliot back and not realizing how far gone he is in allowing The Monster in his life. People like Julia or Alice trying to help Quentin and kill The Monster to free him, but Quentin defending The Monster from them because in his mind, The Monster equals Eliot.
More of Quentin just living with The Monster as he runs around causing chaos and murdering people. Their forced cohabitation is fascinating.
Quentin allowing The Monster to do whatever he wants to him, as long as he doesn't hurt Eliot and gives Eliot back. Maybe he offers up his own body for possession instead.
If you write smut, I would love more choking/erotic asphyxiation, aka The Monster choking Quentin and Quentin hating that he gets off on it.
I’d love more of either Quentin or Eliot having visions or hallucinations of each other. Maybe they’re able to visit in their dreams, but neither are sure it’s real or just more torment.
I love, in a really terrible way, that Eliot realizes what he lost in rejecting Quentin while he’s possessed and that’s what he uses to prove that he’s still alive in there. I want more of that, how they keep fucking up coming together, and then events happen where they can’t actually be together.
The Monster feeling Eliot’s love for Quentin and tormenting him over it. Um, I kind of want this to play out like a fucked up love triangle, in some aspects. So make of that what you will.
More Eliot's POV of the whole ordeal. I know in general, he was trapped in his own head for a large portion of the possession, but I would love to see him be more actively aware of what was happening and try to communicate with Quentin.
Quentin dies, but doesn’t defeat The Monster. So Eliot and The Monster have to work together to get him back from the underworld/afterlife. I would also love Eliot working on his own or with other people to get him back from the dead. I am a sucker for the underworld rescue trope.
READY OR NOT (2019)
↳ Ships: Alex Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas, Alex Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas/Grace Le Domas, Alex Le Domas/Grace Le Domas, Alex Le Domas/Charity Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas, Alex Le Domas/Charity Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas/Grace Le Domas, Charity Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas, Charity Le Domas/Grace Le Domas
Alex Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas
I am a sucker for codependent brothers, especially when they're as wrapped in as much guilt and trauma as these two are. I knew I was going to ship from the opening scene where Daniel was trying to protect and hide Alex. Then that scene where Daniel talks Alex down from choking their father to death? Did me in. Them constantly trading significant glances at each other all night? Yes. Daniel protecting Alex his whole life and possibly just making things worse, since he was never actually able to save Alex from their family? YES. Just give me more of them and their messiness.
Daniel trying to save Alex from their family and encouraging him to leave, while also desperately wanting him to stay in his life. Daniel seeing Alex as better than their family and turning out to be horribly wrong.
In general, I'm really interested in how the movie starts with Daniel selling out his aunt’s husband and how that haunted him his whole life, and the role reversal he and Alex undergo by the end of the movie.
Any other times with Daniel talking and calming Alex down from his frankly terrifying rage, like when he was choking out his dad. Preferably with soothing words and more soothing touches.
Teen them sharing a room, sharing a bed, even though they have enough of their own space. Alex having nightmare and going to Daniel for comfort. In general, hurt/comfort for them, especially in light of the terror and horror of everything about their family.
Alex instigating their whole sexual relationship.
Getting so fucked up, Daniel drunkenly hits on his brother in front of everyone.
Emilie walking in on Alex/Daniel. I'd love something ridiculous for this, like Emilie tattling and no one caring because the rich and their weird proclivities—or seriously dark and disturbing, with there being fall out and Daniel and/or Alex feeling guilty. I would love their parents’ reactions or perhaps, Aunt Helene having a non-reaction.
Any OPOV on them, from any family member, honestly.
Alex Le Domas/Grace Le Domas
Backstory fic for Grace and Alex! It went so wrong, but I am honestly really into both of them looking for a family in each other, with Grace wanting a family at all to love and accept her, and Alex wanting someone to replace his family, to get love and validation from someone not his parents. I'd love to see the start of her relationship with Alex and specifically, something regarding his line about how he proposed because he was scared to lose her. Was Grace going to leave him? Was he deliberately trying not to marry her to avoid all of this?
Alex trying to escape his family, and being drawn back in. Alex knowing his family is basically a cult and still struggling to unlearn everything they taught him. How he met Grace and how he was trying to have his cake and eat it too, so to speak. Alex wanted to keep Grace, but in order to keep her, he had to marry her, which could result in him losing her.
Charity Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas
Backstory backstory backstory! I just want to know how these two met and ended up together, and how they dissolved into this antagonistic marriage. Daniel must have loved her once, what happened? I’d love anything that explores that.
Charity saying Daniel knew where she came from and how that makes her want to fight for this lifestyle, unflinchingly, haunts me. I want to know what kind of life she left and where Daniel met her and how she doesn’t care about what the Le Domas family does. I love how ruthless she is and I’d love to see how that kind of personality attracted Daniel’s apathy.
I have a headcanon that Charity was a sex worker prior to marrying Daniel, so he kind of drunkenly Pretty Woman’s her until they actually fall in love. But then Daniel tells her about his family and Charity wants that sense of security and wealth, even at that terrible cost.
Charity Le Domas/Grace Le Domas
Charity comes from a low income background, so does Grace (and so does Becky). I’d love anything where Grace gets to live and finds that out, she and Charity realize they have more in common than not. Maybe they form an alliance.
I’d love anything where Grace finds out about Alex/Daniel, then Charity comes and is like, “oh, you know now, welcome to the club” and maybe they make out.
I don’t have a ton of thoughts because they barely interacted beyond Charity trying to kill Grace and I’d love that addressed. I just want to see more of them interacting, let’s be honest!
Alex Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas/Grace Le Domas, Alex Le Domas/Charity Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas, Alex Le Domas/Charity Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas/Grace Le Domas
*Note: Grouping all of these together because a lot of these prompts are kind of general, so feel free to mix and match. Some will have specific OT3s mentioned with an OT4 out.
Just give me the AU where Alex is five minutes early and is able to stop Daniel from being shot. Wherever that goes, is up to you?
Charity seemed really flirty with Alex when she came to check in on him and the wheels in my head started spinning, and landed on Charity knowing about past Alex/Daniel, maybe pre-Grace, she joined them in bed. I’d love anything that plores the kind of fucked up dynamic between the three of them before Alex left altogether.
Alex introducing Daniel to Grace. I'm desperately curious about how that meeting went. I thought it was interesting how Daniel seemed to be the only family member who already knew Grace. Did she also meet Charity at that point?
Grace finding out about Alex/Charity/Daniel in an AU where she pulls a different card and they invite her to their weird, creepy rich people incest relationship.
Alex as Bluebeard AU. Or Alex the accidental, unwitting Bluebeard. Or Daniel as Bluebeard. The entire movie gave me fucked-up Bluebeard vibes and that's what I'm about.
Grace doesn't draw the hide & seek card. She and Alex go on their honeymoon. This isn't necessarily a happy ending. Or basically, Grace marries into the family, and becomes a part of them, just like she wanted, with all that entails.
Vampire AU! Werewolf AU! Twist up the Le Domas family and make them something other than a family under the thumb of the Devil. Maybe Grace has to join their weird monster cult instead. Charity has obviously already joined.
Grace and Daniel both die, then come back to haunt Alex. Or Daniel lives, but Charity dies and comes back to haunt him. All the ghosts haunting people!
Or Grace dies AU, but she comes back to haunt Alex, and never leaves him alone. I would love for her to take revenge on him, in such a way where he doesn't actually die, but driven mad, or sent to jail, and she still haunts him even then. Maybe Daniel also haunts Alex as well. Maybe there is creepy ghost sex.
I really want a Grace/Daniel/Alex AU as head of the family, however way you can make that work. Grace makes a deal to spare the younger generations? Grace wins the game and is able to change the terms? Grace brings back Daniel and Alex back to life somehow but for her own reasons? Or you can throw in Charity as a fourth head of the family. Them all being kind of a fucked up foursome dynamic.
I really wanted to see a Hostel Part 2-esque ending, where the only way to not be killed is to join the bad guys in some capacity—either Grace selling her soul, or taking over in some way. It'd be bleak and awful and I would love it.
Daniel doesn't die. He and Alex save Grace. Somehow, they are spared from exploding (Charity included, maybe?), but at what cost?
I’d love a kind of fucked up situation where Grace being pregnant negates the Hide & Seek card, so Grace joins the family and is tied to them by blood now, and how that comes with all that entails. Grace wanted a family so much and now she has one, but it’s horrible. Or, Grace makes her own deal with Le Bail. You can go full Rosemary’s Baby AU here.
YOU (TV 2018)
↳ Ships: Delilah Alves & Ellie Alves, Delilah Alves/Candace Stone, Ellie Alves & Forty Quinn, Forty Quinn/Love Quinn, Guinevere Beck/Love Quinn, Guinevere Beck/Peach Salinger, Joe Goldberg/Forty Quinn, Joe Goldberg/Forty Quinn/Love Quinn
Delilah Alves & Ellie Alves
I am a sucker for siblings who are trying to make it on their own when their parents are shitty and I latched onto these two like a baby duck imprinting on its mother. It hurt me, in the end. I’d love anything that fixes their ending!!!! Either Ellie figures out where Delilah is and gets her out before Love shows up or Delilah makes sure she has back-up before doing her own investigation. I just want Delilah to live! And be safe! And be with her sister!
By the same token, I’d love anything that explores their backstory. We got hints of it in the show, like Delilah leaving first, then Ellie going after her. I’d love to see anything from when they were younger, or when Ellie first arrived in Delilah’s life. I just love the dynamic of an older sister having to raise her baby sister, but the two of them have such headstrong personalities.
I am forever sad that Joe got involved with Delilah’s investigation of Hendy and accidentally killed him. I’d have loved it if Delilah and Ellie had come to an agreement to work together to bring him down. Maybe using Ellie as a spy? Anything like that!
Delilah Alves/Candace Stone
This is a long shot, crack ship, but they deserved so much more and it would have been beautiful to see them hook up and realize they can compile their resources to take Joe down. And maybe they fall in love? And Ellie has two moms? I can dream, okay?
Ellie Alves & Forty Quinn
I really, really enjoyed how much Ellie and Forty connected over movies and how Ellie weirdly had a positive influence on Forty in the sense he finally felt responsible for someone other than himself. I just wanted more of them bonding over movies and working on the script together.
On the flipside, I wanted him to be the one to take care of her after she was being pegged for the murder of Hendy and I wanted Ellie and Forty to take down Joe. So Forty Lives AU and he gets Ellie the hell out of dodge and they work together to figure out how to handle the Joe situation.
Forty Quinn/Love Quinn, Joe Goldberg/Forty Quinn/Love Quinn, Joe Goldberg/Forty Quinn/Love Quinn
I was very into these twisted complicated dynamics between these three this season, and so sad when Forty died. I’d love to see the end of S2 with Forty in the mix and not dead. I love the thought of Joe sort of being emotionally blackmailed and held hostage/trapped in this relationship, with Love convinced it’s True Soulmate Love between them, and Forty a little more clear-eyed, but wanting to make his sister happy.
I don’t want rape, but definitely some dubiously consensual situations where Joe is down for sex, but only because he’s trapped in this relationship and doesn’t know how to escape, and it’s easier to go along, especially with Love being so mercurial. I’d love to see them in a creepy domestic situation afterwards, playing house together and preparing for the baby to come, and Joe not sure how to get out of this situation.
I’d be happy with both Forty and Love both sharing Joe at separate times, or an incestuous threesome, or something in between—like, sharing a man is bound to bring up some incest vibes regardless if you’re actually physically fucking your sister or not, yes?
(I’d be okay if Joe gets out of this in some outlandish way eventually, but also okay if he just suffers—or if he develops his own sort of Stockholm Syndrome.)
In general, I like the thought of Joe, of all people, getting stuck with two people more morally depraved than he is (though, I don’t think Forty is as bad as Love).
More stuff with Joe in the cage! Whether it’s just Joe languishing there while Love and/or Forty visit daily, or Joe losing his mind the longer he stays there. Maybe they just decide to keep him there as their pet psychopath.
Anything with the twins seducing Joe at any point in S2—I am totally down for an incestous threesome without Joe getting corralled between them.
I got a serious twincest vibe between Forty/Love and I just want...backstory. Creepy incestous stuff as teenagers, or sublimating their desires in other ways, projecting their feelings onto other people, the two of them being fixated and obsessed and possessive of one another. Love being over-protective, Forty being overly needy. I’d love to see them carry out an actual affair while Love and Joe are together. Given all of Joe’s issues about being cheated on, I think it’d be really interesting if the cheating is with Love’s brother—would he even suspect that or think it’s too out there?
I would just love more of Forty being codependent and creepy and needy about Love, and Love enjoying it. Love killed for him! I want the fall out of that!
I would love it if Love’s baby is actually Forty’s baby, and she’s using Joe as a plausible deniability.
As far as Forty/Joe goes, I thought for sure they were coding some kind of subtextual queer relationship with Forty constantly calling Joe “Old Sport,” given the Gatsby reference. I would love to see more of them and Forty projecting his codependency and neediness onto Joe, and Joe being manipulative with his affection, but getting attached despite himself. I would even love something kind of sweet between them—all the hugs and bonding really got to me.
It’d be interesting if after all the time pretending to be gay in S1, if Joe discovers he may actually be into men on some level when Forty kisses him.
I REALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO FUCK WHEN THEY WERE HIGH. So please. Let them have sex while high. Then show me the fallout.
Feel free to go dark as well, because I loved that time when Forty held Joe at gunpoint. I’d love an AU where he DOESN’T die and it’s because Forty injures Joe, and they all cover up what happened when Detective Fincher arrives and Forty knows exactly what Joe is and is always keeping an eye on him.
WHEN YOU FUCK HER, THINK OF ME, JOE. Just, holy shit man, run with that. Forty wants Joe to think of him while having sex!
I shipped them really hard this season and I was so sad when Forty died, please just give me more of them, more snuggling and weird acid trips and Forty asking if Joe would fuck him and maybe actual sex. Just anything would be lovely!
Guinevere Beck/Peach Salinger
I love Guinevere Beck so much and I love twisted femslash, so I’d love to see any take on these ships.
My kingdom for an AU where Peach doesn’t die and they kill/stop/send Joe to jail. Peach/Beck hurt/comfort follows afterwards, maybe they even go to Paris like Peach planned, but Peach/Beck is still all kinds of messy and creepy.
I’d love backstory! They’re best friends with creepy poor boundaries! I’d love to see their childhood or adolescence together, blurring the line between friends and something more, and how Peach got so attached to her. I’d love Beck to realize/know Peach is in fact, bad news, but she doesn’t know how to cut her out of her life after knowing her for so long, and on some level, doesn’t want to because she enjoys the attention and loves her in her own needy way, too.
Fooling around as teenagers/college kids together!. Perhaps they did have a short term fling that Peach has never been able to let go.
Anything with Peach stalking her, overstepping boundaries, taking photos, watching her sleep, dressing her up and buying her clothes, and being controlling but with a sweet facade. “Taking care” of Beck in the way that suits Peach.
I wish we had gotten to see more of Beck’s side of the relationship, more of what she got out of Peach being in her life, or just Beck’s article on Peach’s death and more of her processing her death. I’d love to see Beck try to reconcile knowing that Peach was in love with her and wanted to own her in some way, but missing her deeply and desperately.
Or! An AU where Joe doesn’t exist, and Peach eventually woos and dates Beck. Eventually, Beck has her own realization that Peach has been stalking her for a long time. Maybe she finds all the photos she took of her. Maybe she doesn’t care.
Guinevere Beck/Love Quinn
More cracky femslash from me!
In terms of Beck/Love, I love the thought of Beck meeting Love and Love becoming hyperfixated on her, the way she did with Joe. Or simply Love being in Joe’s position in Beck’s narrative. I know Love hates Beck for not being Good Enough for Joe, but I’d love to see her meet her on her own terms, without Joe’s influence. Maybe Joe doesn’t exist, but Love does.
I don’t have a lot of prompts for these two—I’m mainly interested in how Love is a mirror of Joe in many ways, and thus want to see how Love/Beck would shake out. Give me Love latching on to Beck and refusing to let go and killing people around her. I would love to see how the narrative changes with Peach when Beck is with a woman and a wealthy woman at that. I am just really curious about the possibilities!
Thank you so much for writing for me! My letters are usually fairly long and detailed, as I hope to cover enough ground to give you as much info in case you are not sure of what to write, but feel free to ignore most of this letter but the DNWs if something sparks you that’s not completely like what I prompted. I just want you to feel inspired and comfortable! Also, please don't think that I want a fandom less because of the amount of prompts compared to others. Sometimes I just want very specific things or I had a hard time coming up with prompts, but I want everything contained in this letter, don't fret. I chose fanfic as my freeform tags because I'm not sure how to prompt for art, but if anything sparks your creativity for art, I'd love to see what you come up with!
I mostly use this journal as a private place to post thoughts I’m not comfortable posting on my tumblr, which is where I mostly hang out, making graphics and reblogging things—if you choose to visit, it’s good place to snoop to get a generalized glimpse at what I like.
In an effort to make my letter as skimmable as possible, here are some links to help guide you to whatever interests you and help you skip the rest.
CROSSOVER FANDOM || FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE SERIES || IT (MOVIES - MUSCHIETTI)
KNIVES OUT (2019) || THE MAGICIANS (TV) || READY OR NOT (2019) || YOU (TV 2018)
↳ General Things I Like: I am a very emotionally oriented person. I love exploring a character’s thoughts and feelings, what it is that makes that character tick and make the choices they do. I’d rather have purely character thought-piece over a complex well-plotted fic with no emotional heart or depth. I love relationships: their dynamics, how they support one another, how they relate to each other, how they interact, where their wants and needs match up, where they differ, how their different parts interconnect or pull-apart.
I adore friendships in all forms and I love exploring what it means to be friends and the bond between characters. I love emotional history and how that affects a relationship dynamic between characters. Friends-turned-lovers is a favorite trope of mine, as well as love/hate, enemies-turned-lovers dynamics. I love snark and banter and flirting, but I also love new relationship awkwardness, relationship negotiation, and getting-to-know-you bonding. For any relationship to happen, I want some connection at the base before it turns romantic or sexual. I love developing relationships: relationship conflicts after the characters got together, trying to figure out how to make things work, some things maybe not working at first, temporary breakups. If you’re dealing with a poly-relationship, I’d love to see how the characters deal with that new dynamic and how they adjust into their new roles, how the dynamic changes (for better or for worse). I love unlikely friendships/romances, complicated relationships, group dynamics, partnerships.
I also love fucked up, varying-degrees-of-unhealthy, too-close-for-comfort relationships. Codependent relationships, obsessive relationships, completely-fixated-on-the-other relationships. I love when a character is willing to literally let the world burn, should the world try to come between them and the person they love (romantically or platonically), choosing their partner above anyone else. I really love when this is all a choice, rather than conditioning (though I do love when this closeness is born from abusive homes and situations, with the two characters banding together, them-against-the-world). Two-halves-of-a-whole-person type of relationships are my weakness—I love dynamics where the other can’t function without the other and opt for self-destruction in the face of separation (via either substance abuse or moral/character disintegration), even leading to suicide ideation. Them being equally obsessive and fucked up, and extremely invested in their relationship is what I live for. Utter devotion is key.
I also enjoy something in between the two extremes—characters relying on each other and needing each other, making sure the other is okay, taking care of each other, especially in regards to trauma and/or mental illness. Basically I love messy, codependent relationships with dysfunctional people who love each other and are terrible to each other sometimes, but also healthy, loving, mutually supportive relationships, where people take care of each other and communicate with each other, and everything in between or in combination.
I really dig domesticity and what makes a home a home, and how being a family to each other plays into that and how the characters come together in that way. I adore makeshift families and kid!fic in any form (so long as the children are written realistically and not cute accessories—I love reading about the difficulties of parenting, how it changes the relationships, characters reacting to being a parent—especially if they came from an abusive home). I love cooking and doing chores, and quiet breakfast scenes over coffee or tea. If you want to add pets, that would be wonderful! (I love all kinds of animals, but cats have a special place in my heart.
I love porn and wouldn’t mind a PWP piece, if that’s where your heart takes you, but I’d prefer it to be emotionally anchored; not necessarily romantic, but something with a connection and a reason for it happening beyond two (or more!) pretty faces.
↳ Some of my kinks include: trust (I have a huuuge trust kink that can usually make most kinks work if the basis comes from how intensely two characters trust each other and their willingness to give themselves to the other person in every way, and vice versa), overwhelming “I never thought I’d have this and now that I do, I don’t even know where to start” feelings, angry sex, fighting-that-leads-to-sex, powerplay, D/s (that’s more focused on taking care of each other than humiliation), switching/no set sexual “roles”, topping from the bottom, service kink (getting off on giving pleasure rather than receiving), oral sex, licking, fingering, dirty talk (please no humiliation), praise kink, teasing, body worship, sensory overload (being overwhelmed by sensations, being touched immediately after orgasm), biting/marking/scratching, begging, public sex, heat-of-the-battle sex, frantic sex, jealousy and possessiveness, bloodplay, voyeurism, bondage, somnophilia, size differences, partially-clothed or mostly-clothed sex, handjobs, rimming, frottage, intercrural, double-penetration, masturbation/fantasizing about the other before getting together, mutual masturbation.
Drunk or high sex (both the emotionally messy, dubcon-y, bad idea kind and the sloppily affectionate consensual kind), rough sex, characters who kink on violence and danger (gunplay, knifeplay, breathplay, exhibitionism, etc.), hatesex, scar kink, sex for comfort and solace, dressing and undressing, messy badly-negotiated (or unnegotiated) sexual desires, inexperience, sexuality exploration, first times, clothes kink (suits, uniforms, gloves, boots etc.), neat characters being disheveled for once; casual characters cleaning up nicely, clothes-sharing, choosing clothes for the other person as kink/foreplay, sex in other places than a bed: on tables, against walls, on the floor, on a chair, in the shower, messiness (sweat, come, etc.), competence kink (characters kinking on the skills set of another, i.e. Seth’s admiration/fixation on Richie cracking safes), oral fixation (smoking, fingersucking, shotgunning, etc.), sex where emotions are mixed, or difficult to acknowledge, or emotionally hurtful to acknowledge, sex that doesn't heal anybody's deep emotional wounds, moody messy melancholy sex, crying, overwhelming/overstimulation sex.
I’d really love all of this to be paired with tenderness and sweetness, just little touches here and there: hand-holding, forehead touching, forehead/face kisses, snuggling and cuddling, nuzzling, hugs from behind, neck kisses, scar kissing. Lots of kissing in general is lovely. I love the “we like each other so much that we can’t stop touching each other in any way” trope a lot. Sharing food, sharing clothes, sharing beds. Sleep related things in general: comfort after a nightmare, falling asleep together, one character watching the other sleep. Characters feeling safe and cherished by the other. Simple casual intimacy is fantastic and very much appreciated.
↳ Random and miscellaneous things I love:
backstory, future fic, unreliable narrators, outsider POV adding new insight, outsider POV in general, snapshots, missing scene fics, character studies, missing scenes, codas, alternate canons, semi-alternate universes, and canon divergences, and/or slight changes to canon, “what if” AUs epistolary fic, or a “five times something happened” type of fic, or a “five things you didn’t know,” fics that start in the middle with flashbacks, play with format, if you want happy endings, bittersweet endings, downer endings—whatever works for your story: no happy domestic fics with sudden swerves into death fic, but if something is generally melancholy to begin with, go with the downer ending road trips, small towns, traveling, a sense of place, in between moments and in transit, a strong sense of a setting—I really love the aesthetics of being on the road, having to stay in crappy motels and living in and out of suitcases communicating without words established relationships/friendships, and domesticity with slice-of-life that details their routine or daily life the intimacy of living together for a while, or people learning to share space—people sharing household chores or cooking food for each other, people having silly arguments with each other over routine things or watching movies together awkward wooing, or when people can’t say things in words so they say it in action slow burns, UST, people reconnecting again, getting back together, learning to love each other again, pining for each other reunions, a strong sense of history between characters intense protectiveness, will-kill-for-you-without-thinking protectiveness—or the flipside, will-lay-down-my-life self-sacrificial type of protectiveness trust—either people who trust each other or people with trust issues surprising intellect from unsuspecting characters small but meaningful moments bad weather, quiet rainy days, autumn, the ocean, the desert, the woods, libraries, characters reading to each other, sense of time passing, the change of seasons, being snowed in found families complicated relationships and internal conflicts—I like relationships where not everything is clear cut between people, when conflict stems from personal issues or clashing, rather than something external, where there’s angst and anger between these characters, but also genuine love and fondness awful people being tender to each other, terrible people who don’t know how to love, or trying very hard to be good to each other (with some or no success) hurt/comfort of ANY KIND—illness or wounded or just having a bad day, any kind of physical or emotional bad stuff happening to characters (either the main point of the fic or in the background/stemming from canon events), and characters looking after one another, especially tending to injuries, patching the other up, assisting with a drug recovery, to helping each other cope with PTSD or loss, helping them day to day—just a person taking care of someone as a practical way to show love darkfic of any kind—psychological mind games, body horror, creepy obsessive claustrophobic dynamics, erotic horror, desperate broken violent lives of crime, break-it fics (unhappy or unresolved endings are okay!) focus on mental illness or trauma, such as panic attacks, character adjusting to each other’s needs, messy coping mechanisms and “bad victim” traits exploring physical disabilities (losing sight/hearing/the ability to a speak) irrational ugly emotions, like jealousy or resentment or paranoia claustrophobic and isolation stories, be it physical or emotional isolation angst: self-doubts, guilt, shame, nightmares, fears, self-destructive tendencies, alcohol/drug abuse, character-appropriate self-harm, suicide ideation monsters of any kind—vampires, werewolves, merpeople, witches, ghosts, humanity as monstrosity, the “monster” being more human than the “human”, the interplay between where monstrosity begins and humanity ends, struggles with monsterhood; I love human/monster pairings where the human is fascinated with their otherness and cherishes their monster partner characters who aren’t sure how to “people” properly, characters who aren’t good at being “human.” Inhumanity, especially when love is demonstrated or expressed differently, but still love fairytale themes: retellings, use of fairytales as a structure, or a fairytale structured story daemon aus reincarnation or soulmates, with the relationship feeling old and constant, or the messy complications that come with being soulmates, “wrong” soulmates, character reliving the same time loops, losing each other and colliding with each other and missing each other completely, past lives, epic-across-time stories
↳ DNWs: death of requested characters unless otherwise specified, explicit child or sexual abuse (h/c regarding abuse, or portraying the aftermath or effects is fine), extreme underage (12 and below), graphic depictions of child death, graphic animal cruelty or death, mentally ill/neurotypical treated as a burden, parental or cross-gen incest, love triangles and V-shaped poly relationships, a/b/o, unrequested non-canon pairings, unrequested AUs, rigid top/bottom roles (I prefer switching! But if you have a top/bottom preference for certain characters, that’s okay, I just rather it implied in the fic that’s not all they do).
I prefer not to read about excessive abuse, but I understand it’s inclusion if it’s part of a character’s backstory. I like reading about the aftereffects of abuse, of trauma, but not the actual traumatic events in detail.
Mentally ill or neurotypical characters treated as a burden or better off dead or elsewhere—it’s fine if they're experiencing ableism from outside sources, but I don't want the whole fic to be about that.
No deathfic unless the characters die or have died in canon, or a villain is being killed. Referring to the major character deaths that occur in canon and exploring those after effects is okay, but otherwise, I’d rather not read it. I don’t consider it deathfic if someone dies and then comes back in the same fic.
My squicks are: parental or cross-gen incest (sibling or cousin incest is totally okay), bestiality (xenophilia in terms of sentient monsters, on the other hand, is encouraged), a/b/o, watersports, scat or most hardcore kinks, humiliation (sexual or otherwise).
Non-con is a hardline trigger for me, so I’d rather avoid it unless it’s part of a character’s backstory (I’m okay with dub-con though—either messy and fucked up stuff with one character taking advantage of the other, capital R "romantic" necrophilia, or “we all got drunk and had sex together, whoops”).
CROSSOVER FANDOM
↳ Ships: Carrie White & Eddie Kaspbrak, Eddie Kaspbrak & Camille Preaker, Eddie Kaspbrak/Dan "Danny" Torrance, Dan "Danny" Torrance/Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier/Dan "Danny" Torrance, Marta Cabrera/Grace Le Domas, Norman Bates/Eddie Kaspbrak, Eddie Kapsbrak/Quentin Coldwater, Richie Tozier/Eliot Waugh, Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier/Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh
The interconnectedness of King’s works make me want to explore more of the universe he’s built, but make it very very easy for crossovers to happen.
I’d love to see an AU where Carrie and her mother move to Derry, and Carrie grows up being a part of the town, and thus, The Losers Club befriend her. I would love to see her interactions with Eddie in particular, because of their similarities, but also any of the losers—I'd love to see what changes when Carrie has real friends and how things with Pennywise would go with Carrie in the mix. You can mess with the timelines and make her the same age, or Carrie can bee their big sister-like figure!
Or! I’d love an AU where Eddie and Carrie are related in some way. Maybe she is a long lost cousin or a relative of Frank Kaspbrak! I would also love to explore psychic Eddie who has either the same powers as Carrie or some other type of superpower. I'd love for them to look out for one another.
A post-Carrie fic where instead of dying, she runs away to Derry and ends up befriending the Losers. They can be aged up or still thirteen year olds and she becomes a big sister figure while trying to survive on her own. I'd love to see Eddie try to sneak her food, or spend time with her, trying to figure out what happened to her. I’d love them bonding over the abuse and trauma they've gone through.
Eddie and Camille are two of my most favorite characters. I'd love it if Eddie and Camille met and managed to strike up a friendship. I'd love like maybe a one time chance encounter, or they end up corresponding and talking to each other. I'd love to see them bonding over their trauma and shitty moms, but I get that wouldn't come up in a first conversation, but I'd just like for them to feel drawn towards each other and connected in some way.
Or maybe Camille goes to Derry to investigate the missing and/or dead kids, and along the way, runs into Eddie Kaspbrak. Or maybe she gets mixed up in the defeat and kill Pennywise quest.
So… my headcanon is that Eddie is absolutely gay, but I would still love to see an AU where Eddie marries Camille instead of Myra, and they have a complicated marriage. It’d be less abusive than anything with Myra, but still deeply unhealthy and messy, with Camille's drinking problem and self loathing, and Eddie's pill issues and trauma. I don't want anything really hopeless here—they can break up, it doesn't have to last as a marriage, but I’d love to see them in an almost marriage of convenience where they mistake camaraderie and deep empathy for being in love. I’d like to see anything that explores how they can be affectionate and loving, but incompatible in what they need physically.
I'm also really in love with the idea of Eddie meeting Camille's family, then eventually realizing how similar their moms are, something clicking in Camille's head when Eddie eventually points out his mom made him sick, Eddie interacting with Adora and Amma. I’d just love anything with Eddie and Camille both helping each other, but also enabling each other's worst behaviors.
I kinda love the thought of Danny Torrence interacting with both of these two in any capacity. Feel free to mess with any timelines, I don’t really care about those details too much. Or you can keep the timelines similar and just have Danny be slightly older.
I’d love any AU where Danny is also part of the Loser’s Club, where his mom relocates to Derry, Maine after Colorado for some god-forsaken reason. Maybe having such a strong Shine makes him extra sensitive and tasty to Pennywise, and they all have to band together to protect him. Or the opposite, maybe he’s much better able to help stop Pennywise during the summer of ‘89. In terms of shippiness, I would love for both Eddie and Richie to have crushes on him and how that grows and develops, either with Richie/Danny, Eddie/Danny, Richie/Eddie/Danny.
Speaking of Shine, I imagine all the Losers have it to varying degrees, and if you’re familiar with the book, feel free to add the details like Stan and Richie being particularly lucky and intuitive, maybe Eddie is a bit psychic. I’d love anything that explores how the Losers could be “special” in the same way Danny is and they all find each other. Maybe such a large group of them draws in Rose The Hat, go wild.
I’d also love anything with Danny in the present day timeline with them, either having already known them back in the 80s/early-90s as children, or if somehow Danny gets pulled into the defeat Pennywise fight for other reasons, and meets Richie and Eddie as adults.
I love the thought of Richie or Eddie meeting Danny during the 27 years when they’re all a mess and don’t remember their childhood, and having a drunken one night stand with him, or maybe something longer term. I would love it especially if Danny can sense some mindfuckery in their heads due to the missing or blocked memories. I would love a straight up AU where contact with Danny in between the two movies helps them remember again, maybe Danny removes the blocks in their minds?
Post-IT Chapter 2/Doctor Sleep movie fic where both Danny and Eddie are dead and meet in some kind of afterlife for ghosts who haven’t moved on. I’d love for ghost Eddie to be drawn to Danny, of all other ghosts, maybe due to Danny still being a fairly impressive ghost with a strong shine, or maybe because they knew each other before. I would love it if they contacted Richie together as ghosts—maybe Richie’s time in the deadlights gave him psychic abilities (deadlights are a good plot device for anything), so he’s able to see them or communicate with them. If they both come back to life, that would be great but not necessary.
Or Post-IT Chapter 2 fic where Richie seeks out Danny to try to communicate with dead Eddie and Danny trying to help, but worried about Richie’s grief. Or Eddie finds Danny as a ghost and just won’t leave him alone and keeps haunting him, maybe trying to get Danny to find Richie.
I’d love ghost Eddie possessing Danny for brief moments, like he’s trying to come back to life and grab on to whatever he can. I don’t think Danny appreciates this. Like, at all.
Ghost threesomes! Richie being haunted by them both due to weird deadlight issues and eventually both of them seduce him! I sound joking, but I would love for this to be as sad or creepy as you want it to be (or not sad at all, I’m not picky).
I’m only familiar with the Doctor Sleep movie, but I don’t mind details and filling in the blanks with stuff from the books. I also love Abra and love that Danny is her uncle in the book and would love it if she made an appearance.
Whoever nominated this crossover, I bow to your genius. This is perfect.
I want all the post-canon fic for these two. How they meet is up to you!
Maybe the Le Domas ran in the same circles as the Thrombleys and now these two who inherited their wealth run into each other at a party, an event.
Maybe Benoit has to investigate what happened to the Le Domas family and Marta comes with him and meets Grace, and the two hit it off. Maybe the Thrombleys had some Satanic deals of their own and that brings Grace to Marta’s doorstep.
Or maybe because Grace and Marta are now new heiresses who come from nothing, they’re putting their money to good use through establishing organizations to help foster kids and immigrant kids, and they cross paths in their work.
I just want to see these two together and interacting—they have a lot in common, after all.
Or maybe you want to go with pre-both movies and have them know each other beforehand, like Grace and Marta went to the same college, and were friends. Maybe Grace marries Marta instead! I’m open to anything
Given the description in the novel that Eddie looks like Anthony Perkins and their similar mother issues, I’d really love to see what would happen if they met. I like to imagine Norman is kind of the worst possible outcome to what Eddie experienced, but was spared the isolation and loneliness due to the fact he had the other losers. Feel free to play with the timeline and set the fic in any era that works for you!
I’d love to see something where Eddie stays at Bates Motel in the intervening 27 years, maybe on a business trip, or maybe as a post-college road trip to find himself. Maybe he and Norman have a small fling or an affair while he’s still married to Myra. I would love something that explores their varying levels of repression and mommy issues, and how they can push past that and make a connection.
Or, if you like, I headcanon Eddie as being a fan of the true crime genre and maybe the Bates Motel is an in-universe actual crime and Eddie decides to write Norman a letter on a whim, and Norman responds back and they strike up a correspondence.
I am also really into the idea of older!Norman/younger!Eddie, as in Norman post-Psycho escapes or gets away from the asylum and builds a life elsewhere, then Eddie, fresh out of Derry, ends up striking a relationship with him
I’ve been thinking of this combination of characters for a while, even since I realized how similar the dynamics are, but also sort of removed by age and different backgrounds. I’d love to see any of these dynamics written, so don’t think you have to throw all four of them together. Also I am cool with keeping it just Richie/Eddie and Quentin/Eliot as the romantic/sexual partners, while everyone engages with everyone.
But I’d love a post-It Chapter 2/S4 universe where Eddie and Quentin meet in the afterlife, maybe they’re thrown together for reasons due to their sacrifices or Eddie is trying to find a way back or a loophole, and Quentin is also looking for a way out. I like to think of Eddie and Quentin as varying degrees of wanting to be brave and heroic, but also feeling scared. Quentin is softer, while Eddie is angry. Their age difference would be interesting to explore. Feel free to get weird with worldbuilding, lean into both canons and see what comes out.
On the flipside, I’d love if the same time, Richie and Eliot meet while grieving—maybe Richie went to NYC to get a sense of who Eddie grew up to be and where he lived, and runs into Eliot in a bar and maybe they drunkenly hook up, then after they realize they’re both grieving and talk about Eddie and Quentin. Maybe they decided to work together to get their boyfriends back. I’d love to explore the dynamic between Eliot, who almost grew up in a homophobic town and was scared of being gay, but reinvented himself when he came to Brakebills and how Richie is still scared.
Or because of Richie’s brush with the deadlights, a magical link to the underworld was imprinted on him, which draws Eliot to him because he’s key to getting Quentin back or simply connecting with him.
Also, If you just want to throw the Losers into Brakebills as former students who may or may not be teachers, that would be fun to explore. I would like to keep the age gap between them because I like the intergenerational dynamic, but if you want to mess with timelines, then that’s cool too!
I’d also be interested in any sort of run in during the intervening years. Maybe Quentin or Eliot run into either richie or Eddie and are like, wait, you have a mind block, why do you have that? Then they accidentally remove it. Or they have a brief encounter and connection.
And maybe after they get everyone back, a foursome can happen! Not required, but it could be fun!
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE SERIES
↳ Ships: Manola Jimenez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa, Paloma Gutierrez/Manola Jimenez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa, Paloma Gutierrez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa, Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko, Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa, Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa/Vanessa Styles, Richard Gecko/Seth Gecko/Vanessa Styles
If you’re choosing to write this ship, you’re amazing and wonderful because it’s so so so rare and I’m forever sad at what canon chose to do to Manola, so I’ll simply adore anything you give me because I just want more of this dynamic!!!
I really love how Kisa fell in love with this human that is fierce and strong on her own merits, and has chosen to remain human, but stands by Kisa as her loyal right hand to Kisa’s queen figure. I am fascinated by how Manola has gotten Kisa to open up and soften after centuries of being locked down and self-protecting. Manola is one of my favorites, stubborn and determined, but not shut down; she’s so expressive and free with her emotions that she’s such an interesting but good match for Kisa.
I would love anything that explores how and when they met, the trajectory of their relationship, or simply just a moment between them—just anything that shows their backstory because I’m so curious about it! Give me them meeting and then Manola tracking Kisa down and never leaving her alone, give me Kisa taking Manola back to her hotel room and Manola just never leaving after that, give me what Kisa saw in her soul, how they view each other as their own personal savior.
A Manola Lives AU would be amazing, Manola lives fix-it AU is a most desired fic! God, the wasted potential, the wasted dynamics! I’d love anything from Manola getting attacked and living, and Kisa taking her on the run and into hiding until Manola convinces her to join the fight and to stop running out of fear, or Manola convincing her in the moment after her attack to join Seth and Richie, and Kisa agrees to go because the Geckos promise to help protect Manola. I think Manola going with Kisa to rebuild Carlos would be amazing, especially when they meet and imagining their dynamic. Honestly, feel free to include Carlos in any capacity, I love that piece of shit. I am okay with seeing Manola injured and how they deal with the aftermath of her being put in danger, but how she lives it up to you! Kisa turns her! Manola is a werewolf! Go wild!
I’d also love anything fairytale/myth-esque for Kisa/Manola, their dynamic and backstory lends so much for this, such as the Beauty and the Beast elements to Kisa potentially going on an Orpheus-like quest to bring back her lost love. I’d love anything that explores how Manola feels about Kisa’s history or how she feels about Kisa being La Diosa. Manola is such a grounded presence that is so separate from anything Kisa has known, yet emboiled in culebra society somehow—she exists on the fringes and it’s a fascinating thing for Kisa to have that in her life, a person who just sees her as herself.
Manola allows Kisa to feed on her as a way of sustaining Kisa without actively killing people—how did this arrangement happen? I would love to see this explored in a sexy sense! Manola clearly enjoys being fed on, given her reaction in canon, so I would love her kinking on Kisa’s monsterous side, such as her scales and her fangs (or her wings!) and how being fed on makes her feel, her headspace whenever it happens would be fascinating. Also I imagine this is kind of a foreplay for them, given how the scene was framed as foreplay that was interrupted, so I’d love a scene where the feeding or simply bloodplay is incorporated into their sex acts. Kisa being creative and feeding on Manola during her period by eating her out or simply Kisa being interested in her period given she hasn’t had one in centuries and wanting to make Manola feel good despite her pain would be all kinds of lovely.
Also, a little bit of possessiveness towards Manola with Kisa’s bites always being display on her neck— Kisa touching them in public and turning Manola on, so she needs to have a quickie in a dark corner. I really love the mythology of the show that blood gives culebras a view into the person’s soul and also that they gain skills from the person they feed on—that kind of intimacy is like catnip to me, so I’d love anything that explores it, especially if Manola gets Kisa to open up by challenging the unfairness of Kisa knowing all her secrets.
Kisa and Manola run a fight club, with Kisa being the queen of the club and Manola being her second in command—I’d love anything domestic with them! How they developed their feeding ritual, how they grew together, just building a home with each other then building the fight club. I am so interested in how they became a family to one another and then built a community where they could feel safe and in control. I especially love how much give and take there is to their relationship—they’re so balanced! I would love to see how that works on a professional and personal level, how they switch between the two in public and in private.
Anyway, I would also like to see how that division of power plays out in the bedroom. Does Manola get off on Kisa being in charge? Does she like to go down on her on Kisa’s “throne”? Or does Kisa let her take charge? I would be interested in seeing how Kisa navigates their sex life given her history of sexual abuse and how Manola works through that with her, while supporting her, and being patient and comforting. I imagine Kisa has a lot of shame in her desires and worries when he gets too rough with Manola, or that she crossed a line, while Manola reassures her. I would also just adore tender sex that allows Kisa to be open and vulnerable and overcome with emotion that she cries.
In terms of kink exploration, I would love to see how they figure out what Kisa actually likes in bed, playing with different kinds of situational kinks, like bondage or gentle D/s. On the flipside, I would love anything that plays fighting or sparring. Manola is a fighter and has been in their ring (what if she was Kisa’s prized champion until Kisa asked her to quit?), so I would love to see anything that shows off how strong Manola is given she fights culebras or just her and Kisa practicing in the ring and things get steamy. Kisa being (consensually) manhandled by her human girlfriend is a surprising turn-on, especially since Manola is so much smaller and more fragile.
I would love to see anything pre-fight club, as well! What was their first time like? Did they wait to have sex, or did they have sex and feelings came afterward? I would love to see Manola pursuing Kisa and trying to get her to be with Manola as Kisa rebuffs her because she’s still healing and figuring out who she is now, but Manola is cautiously persistent. I don't imagine everything was sunshine and rainbows, not at first, so if you want to give me a moody piece exploring the messy early emotions of their relationship, I would love that—to get to where they are in canon when we meet them, it must have been a struggle, which makes it even more poignant to me.
Kisa and Manola are constantly aware of each other and the other’s needs, so I would like to see how that translates to their intimacy, such as bathing each other or getting each other ready before a fight, or maybe Kisa caring for Manola after a fight? Kisa licking Manola’s wounds leading to desperate sex would be all kinds of hot. They’re so openly flirty and I would love to see that translated to sex, in a very playful way! Manola winning a fight and asking Kisa what her prize is with a cocky, smug smile, or Kisa betting on her in the ring and asking for her winnings.
This dynamic is so, so messy and I love it so much and am so sad it was so short lived on the show. I was fascinated with the twisted mentor/protege dynamic that came with Kisa trying to recreate Paloma in her image, through a cycle of abuse, but at the same time, actively seeing herself in Paloma and unable to help but be protective of her and unable to act immune to her empathy, no matter how much she tries.
I’d love to read more about the actual hostage situation. How much time did they spend together before Paloma had to go on stage? In particular, I’d love to see more Kisa/Paloma dance lessons, despite how grueling they are, for both of them. I’d love to see Kisa teaching Paloma specific moves, maybe stripping down to her underwear herself to show her how to move, maybe manhandling her into perfect position, or forcing her to redo certain moves until she has it down right.
I’d just love MORE Kisa mentoring Paloma in how to dance, but also for her to teach her how to emulate her, copy her movements, so she’s good enough bait for when she dances in front of an audience. I think that would be delightful in a creepy-sexy way.
I imagine there were was a professional hair stylist who got Paloma ready to go on stage, BUT WHAT IT IF IT WAS KISA. I have such a thing for Kisa personally styling her and brushing and curling her hair for her, especially if she's trying to mold Paloma into a version of herself as bait. I would love it if you extended this beyond her hair—show me Kisa washing her or helping her bathe or helping her personally get her dress on, even if Paloma resents the help.
All the Stockholm Syndrome fuckery, please. Give me Paloma trying to escape Kisa, but failing and getting thrown back into the cage. Paloma offering her body and blood to Kisa as long as she gets to escape, but being unable to. Paloma refusing to help Kisa with her quest and being stubborn and a fighter. Paloma being drawn to this scary dangerous woman despite herself, even though she knows better.
Or Paloma finding out Kisa is also her goddess and torn between her anger at her and her love/worship/devotion towards her. I’d love anything surrounding Paloma’s complicated Kisa feels, her growing identification with her kidnapper, her kidnapper trying to reshape her and a part of Paloma wanting it, her anger and disgust at being kidnapped and used as bait, and the way Paloma tries to seduce and kiss Kisa, getting in too deep emotionally.
Smut-wise, I’d love if Paloma has her period while she’s held hostage and Kisa can smell it the moment it starts (maybe she can even smell the hormonal changes). I’d love it if Paloma displays herself to Kisa and asks Kisa if she’d like a taste like she did in canon.
I love it when we learn more about characters, their feelings, their issues, their deep seated secrets through porn and sex. I’d love anything that explores the issues between Paloma and Kisa with sex—from Kisa’s feelings of self-loathing, to the she mirrors her own abuse with Paloma, to Paloma’s feelings of hatred and defiance but also her love and belief in her goddess and how she reconciles her goddess and her kidnapper as the same person. I love this ship for the messiness between them.
I don’t want any rape fic for them, but I would enjoy dubcon if you wanna go there—the situation is inherently fucked up and I’m all for Paloma seducing Kisa to get out of her situation or consenting to sexual situations so she can escape, whatever dubcony hostage scenario you wanna go for. But I’m also super into consent so I’d love if it if she turned the tables on her, and they were placed on a more equal playing field, especially after Paloma is turned into a culebra.
I was really interested in Paloma specifically saying she went into Jackknife Jed’s by on her own because she wanted power; I’d love to see that explored more, especially given the Is that what you gave me? exchange with Kisa—Paloma trying to get the upper hand on Kisa, or trying to navigate a new world of snakes and monsters by trying to become powerful herself. Maybe she asks Kisa to turn her, instead of Malvado, after Bondage. Maybe Paloma gets hurt and Kisa is forced to turn her. I would love to see the fallout of the situation forcing Kisa’s hand and the ensuing guilt afterwards.
Honestly I’m just fascinated by culebra!Paloma and would love to read more of it, in any capacity. I would really love it if Kisa doesn’t kill Paloma—merely incapacitates her—and later on takes her under her wing. Or Paloma goes her own way after being turned, and they are reunited later, both different and changed, more able to deal with all their baggage.
I’d love an AU where Paloma never seeks out Malvado after Bondage and settles into a life in Houston, but Kisa comes back to her life any way. I’d love it if Kisa comes back to apologize and Paloma has none of it, or if Kisa tries to low key stalk her to make sure she’s doing alright and Paloma can sense her. I’d love if Kisa keeps dropping into her life, or hanging out on the fringes of it, and Paloma is curious about her presence, despite all the pain she caused her. Or Paloma only wants her so she can become a culebra and then ditches her—unhappy endings for these two is really okay.
All the body worship, please! For these two, I’d love if Kisa does the body worshipping, maybe as part of training Paloma to be more like her, by treating her the way she’s been treated as a “goddess,” but also maybe as an apology for her harsh treatment. I like the idea of the role reversal between them, the goddess doing this to her worshipper.
But I’d also be down for Paloma wanting to body worship her goddess, once she finds out her kidnapper is the goddess she prays to—maybe Kisa’s not entirely comfortable with it, given her worship issues, and how vulnerable it makes her feel, but she allows it because she’s putting Paloma through so much. I love that Kisa is Paloma’s goddess and I love that Kisa rejects that label and then calls Paloma the goddess—I’d love that explored in sex any way you can, from Kisa calling Paloma a goddess during porn, or Paloma wanting to have sex to be closer to her goddess, or anything exploring Paloma’s worship and faith in Kisa as a goddess.
I love the thought of Paloma wanting to serve her goddess and enjoying going down on her and bringing her to orgasm, but I also really relish the thought of Kisa on her knees for Paloma and servicing her in whatever way she wants, whether it’s helping her dress or change clothes or getting her off, especially if it’s a way to make up for what she’s doing or done to her. I love the role reversal of Paloma being a goddess and Kisa being worshipful towards her, I’d love to see more of Kisa trying to elevate Paloma into goddess, while trying to ignore her own status as a goddess in the eyes of others. But I also love the thought of Paloma trying to turn the tables on Kisa as well, maybe as a human, maybe as a culebra, but wanting Kisa on her knees for her, wanting to hold the power in their relationship rather than the other way around.
Lastly, Kisa has wings! Feel free to work them in! It'd be so cool if they spread to full wingspan during a moment or orgasm but I would also love Paloma being fascinated and intrigued by her wings, wanting to see them, get close, touch and stroke them. I am especially fascinated by how they're not traditionally pretty angel wings, but leathery bat wings, or seem to look like that, so I'd love any long lingering descriptions of what they're like.
This threesome is a bit of a long shot and I honestly am not sure how it fully works, but I’d love to see anyone trying to make it or or exploring how it doesn’t work. I love both of these relationships and I am deeply sad about both Manola and Paloma’s deaths, so I’d just like to see what happens when you shove them all together. Especially given the extreme differences between the two.
Some scenarios to get the ball rolling:
Paloma lives! She’s still a culebra and she finds her way to the fight club she heard Kisa was running. Or Paloma gets out without being turned, then tries to track down Kisa and finds her with Manola.
Both Manola and Paloma are dead and ghosts that haunt Kisa, or they’re undead, or revenants of what they once were.
Kisa is with Manola, but Paloma’s ghost still haunts her.
Paloma becomes the new Santanico Pandemonium and Kisa feels drawn to find out what’s going on. Manola accompanies her.
Pre-S1 AU where they all meet as dancers in the Titty Twister.
Seth/Richie is my OTP of the show, so anything you write for me for them would be greatly appreciated and adored. I love both Seth and Richie so much—together and individually. It’s the ship of my dreams—two messy, fucked up codependent brothers so twisted around the bend for each other where nothing actually can come between them (except each other), the pair of them growing up as two pieces of the same whole, not actually complete without the other, a matching set. I love their coded language of mottos and catchphrases and secret handshakes, I love their banter and their bickering, I love their love of film and film references.
Their shared history of violence and abuse is so important to me and how I view them and how they were shaped. I love the fact that Richie killed their father for Seth, to keep Seth safe, to save both of them from more abuse and I love that Seth never full knew, yet still commemorated the act with a tattoo that covers his entire arm—wearing his heart, quite literally, on his sleeve. There is so much for me with these two that so many things would make me happy.
From the ground up, I’d love a pre-series fic that focuses on them coming together in an incestuous relationship—how they grew up isolated and depending upon each other. I have my own headcanons for how this happened, but I’d love to see a new, refreshing take and always open to exploring new avenues for how Seth and Richie come together. I’d prefer the focus to be on fraught their relationship is and how desperate and clingy they are to each other, and for that to be equal between them—they both show that in different ways (Seth is louder, more action-driven and Richie is more internal, and quiet in his love), but I don’t want to see a situation where one loves and sacrifices more for the other or where one is shown to love the other less.
Uncle Eddie was one of my favorite secondary characters and any use of his would be welcome, I’d love a fic that utilizes Uncle Eddie being the one to raise them post-fire and how they feel about him as they grow, or even an OPOV fic of them from Uncle Eddie’s POV as he watched their fucked up relationship develop and as he comes to understand it.
I also really want to see someone else’s take on how their dynamic grows as they become these legendary criminals that everyone’s heard of. I’d like to see how they build themselves up into these dangerous, terrifying bank robbers that even culebra bigwigs know of. I want an exploration of how they built their legend from the ground up, how they took the Gecko name from something that the criminal community derided to something they respected. I’d love to see a fic that showcases the legends and stories that get passed around about them, or something that shows the truth behind the public perception of them.
I’d be interested in an OPOV fic from the perspective of the FBI hunting the, or the intake officers or the psychiatrist that evaluates Seth when he’s caught and imprisoned—is the fact they’re incestuous in their files, does the law know or even consider it?
Seth keeps asking to be turned. Richie refuses. Seth starts to do more risky and dangerous things.
Richie is hungry and Seth offers Richie his blood.
I would love Seth watching Richie kill someone at any point—maybe even someone for him—and gets very turned on.
Rough sex to stave off other violent urges! I want it in any capacity! Maybe culebra!Richie resisting feeding on Seth by fucking him. Or something set earlier, as humans, Seth keeping himself from murdering someone or doing something violent by having sex with Richie instead. Both of them turning to each other in a sexual ways that turn violent to stave off inflicting violent on others.
Venganza tells the Geckos in order to cement their reign as co-kings/collectors/whatever, they have to have ritual public sex and perform a blood sharing ritual. Could lead to them being soulbonded! Or in order to defeat Amaru, they have to perform ritual public sex in front of everyone. No, I don't really care how contrived that is. Everyone gets to very uncomfortably watch.
Seth/Richie have to get married in some eldritch marriage ritual to have enough power to defeat Amaru. I am not married to a particular definition of what eldritch marriage ritual means, just as long as it's WEIRD and involves some outside creepy cosmic powers. Weird cosmic creepy incestuous marriage sex, yes.
I love the thought of all the culebras wanting to eat Seth and thinking he smells really good, and Richie having to defend Seth and get very possessive over him. I would adore it if Seth had no idea of the effect he had on other culebras. Richie has to mark or brand him as his to keep them away from him! Or more ritual public sex or ritualistic marriage to cement his ownership over Seth to keep him safe.
Seth being down for way too many dangerous and violent activities, either dangerous to himself or to others. Seth up for any kind of risky sex with Richie. Seth happy to cause any kind of mayhem or violence with Richie. Seth wanting Richie to fuck him with a gun and Richie is just, no! Too dangerous, you're a fragile human!
I’d love an AU where instead of going to Mexico, they actually do lay low for a few days, either in a shack somewhere, a motel, or some other state. Maybe Seth is injured on the job and they have to stay, can’t make the crossing with Seth banged up like that.
I would read so much about them robbing banks or just in general, doing crime together. SO MUCH. Or post-series with them trying to rob banks again, but Seth can’t quite keep up and Richie’s powers make it too easy, and the whole thing is just not the same as it was. Then Seth gets injured really bad and they have to figure out where they go from there.
Post-S2, they fuck up running Jackknife Jed’s and piss off the lords, so they have to go on the run from other culebra lords.
I just really liked the episode where Seth almost became a cannibal and thought the show copped out by not letting him eat anyone. Let Seth eat people! Not necessarily Dakota, I like her, but he can at least nibble on someone please. Or an AU where Richie was never kidnapped, and they all think Seth is okay, but he still has cannibalistic urges. Seth trying to hide them from everyone while low key trying to find someone to eat. Richie allowing Seth to chomp on him. At least eat parts of him.
Seth becomes a culebra, for whatever reason. Richie has to turn him to save his life, or Seth asks Richie to do it because he's freaking out about growing old while Richie doesn't, or another reason you can come up with. Or an AU where Seth becomes a culebra first, before Richie.
Richie being Seth's culebra mentor dad. Seth being a really difficult culebra to mentor. Culebra!Seth making life hell on Richie.
Seth becomes ANOTHER kind of monster. You pick which one. Werewolf! Incubus! Whatever you’d like!
Anything when they're teenagers. I love first times and I love them being amoral teenagers who are codependent and fixated on one another and how their relationship develops and grows into something sexual. Hurt/comfort when they're kids—maybe Richie patching Seth up, or visa versa, after Ray beat one of them, maybe Richie getting into a fight at school and Seth defending him or taking revenge. Seth and Richie being so wrapped up in one another that they freak other people out, especially when they're teenagers.
Seth letting the world end for Richie—maybe he agrees to help Amaru in order to get his brother back, but honestly any scenario where he fucks someone over for his brother would make me happy. By the same token, I would love them in any apocalypse scenario: zombies or everyone just disappears, anything! Just leave them isolated with just each other and write how they creepily thrive like this.
I want them to accidentally soulbond. Maybe when Richie first bit him in the S1 finale, that caused some kind of link between them, or maybe they soulbond deliberately, but don't realize the consequences or how intertwined it'd make them.
Dreamsharing when they're separated in S2. Both of them accidentally wandering off into each other's dreams. Seth being upset because he's trying to forget his brother, not see him every night. Kate being freaked out because Seth keeps calling out Richie's name in his sleep and it’s weird. Seth constantly seeing Richie in his head, the way Richie was seeing Kisa in S1. I’d also would love Richie experiencing Seth's drug withdrawals as well, or Seth feeling Richies need to feed through a soulbond.
Anything set during the time when Seth was using heroin and being so self destructive because he missed Richie so bad. Seth relapsing after S2. Or Seth still using drugs throughout S2, being a functional addict, and trying to hide it. Richie helping Seth through withdrawal—maybe he comes to Seth while he's hiding out in Mexico or Seth goes through withdrawal in some post-S2 setting. Or Richie turns him to try and “heal” his addiction, but it only makes things worse.
Seth having nightmares about Richie after S1. Seth having trauma based nightmares at any point in the series. Richie having nightmares pre-series and Seth being there to comfort him.
ANYTHING with Shadow!Richie. Shadow!Richie manhandling Seth around and being more overtly possessive of him. Shadow!Richie refusing to leave or wanting to take Seth with him back down to Xibalba. Shadow!Richie/Seth/Richie threesomes. AU of 3x06 where Shadow!Richie decides to do sexual things to Seth while he is tied up.
AU where Richie gets stuck in Xibalba and Shadow!Richie is top side, but Seth thinks he has the real Richie. Or shadow!Richie lingering inside of Richie and Richie having to contend with him trying to manipulate him from inside his head.
Or Seth knows this is Shadow Richie, and is desperate to get his Richie back, but settles for shadow!Richie for now. Seth trying to keep shadow!Richie from doing anything too evil and offering himself or his body as a distraction.
Anything centering around Seth going down into the Twister's labyrinth to save Richie and bring him back home. Maybe a more Orpheus/Eurydice-style interpretation, or maybe just a missing scene of what happened in canon.
Richie is hungry and Seth offers Richie his blood.
Richie is dead, but Shadow!Richie is still around. Seth supposes he'll do.
Or Richie is dead and Seth can’t let go, so he keeps his corpse around, sleeping with it and touching it and unable to stop himself from going further in his grief.
I love it when EITHER of these two are possessive of one another. Being handsy or overly touchy with one another, PDA to establish a relationship, Richie leaving marks on Seth and laying actual physical claims. Seth throwing a fit whenever Richie spends time with anyone else that isn't him, or whenever he feels threatened by someone else in Richie’s life. All that stuff is catnip for me.
Richie being jealous of Vanessa, Sonja. Seth being jealous of Kisa. Seth deliberately trying to make Richie jealous so he'll do something possessive. Seth just trying to rile Richie up in general, because he enjoys it when Richie “proves” his love.
These three are everything to me, the pillars that shape the narrative of the show, and I would just love anything that expands upon their dynamic and connection that was showcased in the show. I am fascinated about how Seth and Richie’s relationship is shaped and re-molded by Kisa—first as a wedge that is set between them (a catalyst, really, of the issues already there), then as someone who brought them back together; Kisa is an interesting case of someone able to get between the infamous Gecko brothers and come out unscathed. I’m also in love with how fond they’ve become of her and how in awe they are of her, not in a worshipful, religious way, but of genuine affection, despite the history between them.
They’re such similar creatures, so anything about their dynamic would be a treat. The history between Kisa and Richie is even more complex given she abused and used him, but he has forgiven her, but I imagine that hurt is still there, lingering. I would really love anything that explores both sides—the good and the bad, the ugly and the sweet.
I am fascinated with how the mythos of the show is created around them all being mythic figures that don’t exactly live up to the expectations and are messy and human underneath the layers of performance and lore. They are the core three of the show and I’d love anything that explores that: slow burn future-fic where they come together after Richie turns Seth and Kisa has rebuilt culebra society, or further along the lines, or a post-S2 AU where Kisa decides to stick around and help them run their empire, or keeps coming back to them and finding them comforting or giving Kisa a sense of family, which she’s been seeking for most of her life. A place to rest her weary head, so to speak. I’d love anything that explores her POV of the Geckos as a unit and how their level of fierce devotion must terrify her on some level given the shape her abuse took and how worship and devotion looks to her and feels to her. I’d love anything about her watching them and learning to understand the language they speak in, and in turn, they learn about her as well.
I’D GIVE MY FIRST BORN FOR A POST-S3 AU FIC WHERE RICHIE ENDS UP TRAPPED IN XIBALBA, AND KISA AND SETH MUST RESOLVE TO RESCUE HIM.
Another Post-S3 scenario I’d love is where they meet again down the line some years later, and end up back in each other’s lives. Maybe Richie decides to help Kisa rebuild culebra society and Seth tags along, maybe Richie’s turned Seth into a culebra and wants Kisa’s help, maybe they just accidentally run into each other and get a drink together to catch up, then fall into bed together.
OR! A post-s1 AU where Seth goes with Kisa and Richie and how that changes things. I would love to see Seth being jealous of the Richie/Kisa relationship and wanting to insert himself in the middle, and Kisa trying to win Seth over because she can win Richie over to her side the more she gets Seth to like her, and Richie trying to cope with the force of nature they both are, similar people with similar tempers and tactics, while Richie has to keep up. Or maybe Seth INSISTS on going, despite Richie’s wishes, and how that changes everything. I’d love to see Seth and Kisa fight over Richie or for his attention and Richie just, has a headache about this whole thing. Honestly, just play with the weird complicated mess between all three of them that kind of situation would bring.
I’d love anything tropey for them—all three of snowed in together some place? Pretending to be dating, or pretending that Kisa is their sister for some kind of scheme (that goes kinky places)? Kisa helping them cross dress for some reason? Them all having to plan a heist together and getting into dangerous situations makes them all hot and bothered? I’m all for it. I live for tropes.
Saying that Seth and Richie are really intense about each other is kind of an understatement, so I would love anything that shows Kisa’s OPOV on them and how their extreme affection, codependency, and possessiveness translates to her, given her history of objectification and abuse, and how Kisa tries to understand how this can be defined as “love”. There is a lot of ownership between Seth and Richie, and it’s a welcome consensual kind of ownership and belonging, but I feel aspects of that would be almost triggering to Kisa and I would love to see how she comes to terms with that by being a voyeur. It can either be through accidentally catching them in the act and watching them in secret, or being invited to watch as a show for her—or a show of possession and jealousy on Seth’s end, showing Kisa who Richie really belongs to, as a way of working on his issues towards her.
I would just love to see Kisa watching them at their most intimate and how she reflects on that and how it makes her feel. Or it can be a later situation with a sort of established relationship where Kisa is in charge and is giving them directions on what to do, allowing her to be the spectator who gets a show instead of being the one on display—maybe she asks them to strip for her, or simply she wants to see how they are with each other when no one is watching. Bonus points for her focusing on their physical difference and physicality with each other.
In terms of Kisa’s actual participation, this can go a multiple of ways! I’d love an AU of S1 where Seth actually goes with them like Kisa offered and Kisa orchestrates threesomes as a way of building a connection and team rapport, and showing Seth and Richie that she knows about them and doesn’t care.
Or a S2 missing scene where they all work out their issues between the sheets, with Seth showing Kisa how Richie reacts with him compared to her and her assuring him that she doesn’t want Richie, not forever, and Richie just being caught between the two extreme personalities.
Or post-S3 where Seth and Richie find their way back to Kisa and they fall into a more intimate relationship. I am really obsessed with Seth being the human between these two powerful monsters and I would love that explored in a sexy way! Either they get trapped somewhere and Kisa and Richie are very hungry and need to share Seth as a food source, or Richie chooses to share Seth, or they both show off their culebra characteristics in bed with Seth, like their fangs or scales or their eyes turning yellow. Seth’s perspective on being in bed with two people who could devour him and how he gets off on the danger of it would also be very hot.
I’d love a scenario where Seth is the only human around and both Richie and Kisa are extra drawn to him, either because of some kind of culebra sex pollen that makes Seth catnip to culebras, or Seth is just naturally like that. Either way, I love the thought of Seth as extra tasty. Or if Seth/Richie/Kisa are all stuck somewhere together, maybe unable to leave, and both Kisa and Richie are very hungry. Do they take turns rationing Seth together? Feed off him all once? Accidentally kill him and now they have to turn him?
I’d love focus on the animal and inhuman aspects of culebras during sex, such as their scales, maybe kissing down them or rubbing in them, or their fangs and how it feels to be bitten. I’d love to see Kisa and Richie wrap around Seth for warmth like actual snakes, or do any other snake things together. I’d love focus on Kisa’s wings as well, and stroking them, exploring them, maybe they’re extra sensitive, if you wanna go there.
I love the thought of fragile human Seth between two monsters but I also think it’d be just as hot if he was turned into a culebra as well, maybe to save his life, or maybe because Richie doesn’t want to be without him for eternity, how that falls out and changes the dynamic between the three of them. I’d love to read any kind of filth with the three of them together as culebras, with Richie and Kisa trying to teach Seth how to be a culebra and use his new powers, Seth hunting with them, maybe with Richie and/or Kisa holding someone down for him to eat, or maybe Seth is out of control for a culebra and they have to restrain him. If you wanna write sexy, turn Seth into a vampire during sex, I’d also love the fuck out of that.
Any situation you choose, I’d prefer Kisa only to be in the middle if Richie and Seth are working as a team to get her off (or double-penetration that Kisa asks for) and not sharing her as a way to express their feelings with a girl in the middle. I very much ascribe to the opinion that Richie is the middle of this threesome, given how it’s Richie that ultimately connects Kisa and Seth, so I would love anything that focuses on how Kisa and Seth relate to one another due to their connection to Richie. I would really love Seth sharing how he handles Richie in bed, how Richie gets submissive and needy for Seth and kinks on servicing Seth, which is really interesting to Kisa given Seth’s status as a human.
I would also like Seth watching Kisa dominating Richie in bed or just Richie going down on Kisa, the two of them switching and taking “control” of Richie, or fighting over his attention—or working together to tag team Richie and overwhelm him with pleasure, possibly by tying him up and blindfolding him so he can tell who is who. I would enjoy anything that focuses on Kisa and Seth struggling over Richie and competing for his attention in bed—Seth doing it out of jealousy, while Kisa is doing it for the sheer enjoyment of it. Afterwards, I would like them to snuggle and deal with the emotions that came from sex—unexpected, but not unwelcome. I feel like culebras are very snuggle-y like snakes, and I would love to see Kisa and Richie coil around Seth because he is so warm.
Vanessa is honestly so fascinating to me and I am so sad she never returned to the show. I really want to know everything about her and how she got involved with Seth, and by extension, Richie. I don’t think her issue with Richie is based on actual hatred, but rather her knowing he always comes first to Seth and her sense of their relationship not exactly being heavy.
I’d love to lean into that and explore just how much she knows and how much she tries to ignore when it is kind of flagrantly right there. I’d love to see the dynamic between her and Richie—what’s it like? How did they manage those years that she and Seth were together? I tend to see Richie and Seth carrying on, with Seth thinking it’s okay, but Richie kind of dying inside feeling like “the other woman,” when in reality, that’s Vanessa.
How you get them into bed together is up to you. Anything would be fascinating to explore because I think there’s a lot more hurt feelings and tensions between them, and Vanessa has less loose morality than Kisa, but if you want it to be one disastrous threesome that never happens again, I am down for that.
Or if you want to try and develop a threesome relationship, I would really love that. Vanessa was supposed to cross over into Mexico with them, so if you wanted to write an AU where canon diverged and she did, I would be interested to see how that goes and how that changes things. I’d also just love anything with them working as a team to rob a bank and how they function as a trio, instead of a duo.
I would really love any and all backstory fic! How Seth met Vanessa, how he decided to marry her, when they got married. Was Seth thinking he could, metaphorically speaking, have his cake and eat it too by keeping his brother and having a wife? Did he eventually want them to have a threesome? I’d love anything that explores their history.
I just really want to smush them all together into one big, happy, poly incestuous family, so really anything you write for me for them would be amazing. This is the longest shot ship, so I’m really nervous to get too specific, but I just want to explore how Richie and Seth both had relationships with these women and they factor so much into their shared history that I want to see if it works when it’s all four of them.
A few jumping off points:
Any Vanessa goes to Mexico AUs! AUs where she doesnt go to jail and goes with the Geckos to Mexico! Maybe she gets turned instead of Richie, or along with Richie. Maybe she and Seth end up the human!Bonnie and Clyde to the Richie and Kisa snake!Bonnie and Clyde.
Seth, Richie and Kisa bust Vanessa out of jail. Where do they go from there?
Any point where Vanessa busts herself out of jail and tracks Seth down for revenge, and he ends up promising her a score if she works with them. Shippiness ensues.
Any kind of roadtrip AU with all four of them. I would love to see how they make roadtrip with multiple vampires work.
Post-S3 stuff—maybe Geckos team up with Vanessa again and run into Kisa this time. Whatever works for you!

Fandom-specific DNW: Bisexual Richie Tozier or Eddie Kaspbrak. The one exception to this DNW is exploring how each feel about Beverly in context to poly OT7 or smaller poly combinations and expanding on how what they feel for her is bigger than friendship or familial love, but not necessarily romantic or outright sexual. If you want to toe the line on either of them being a Kinsey 5 with a Beverly exception, then I’m cool with that.
I really love the way the films present this “love triangle” in the sense that both Bill and Ben are never openly jealous or resentful of the other, which is really refreshing, honestly. I like how Bill and Ben can be friends and work together without issue. I love that they both respect Beverly’s feelings and don’t pressure her to “choose.” I feel like this a strong foundation for a poly triad dynamic, so that’s kind of what I’m leaning into.
I would love anything with them growing up and kind of figuring out that all three of them really like each other and kind of navigating the idea that they could all be together. I like to live in the AU land where Beverly’s aunt moves to Derry instead of Beverly moving to Portland so they all can go to High School together, so feel free to waive the canon context of Bev’s move for this. Bill comes off like he’s in love with all of his friends, so I’d love to see him kind of pursuing Ben or kissing him unexpectedly and Ben trying to work out how he feels about Bill.
This of course could lead to Beverly taking both of them to the prom. Beverly has two hands!
Or you could work with an AU where they stay together post-Derry and try to figure out how this throuple works without really knowing that this is a thing people do. I’d love to see them fumbling and trying to work out that yeah, all three of them want to be together and not just “share” Beverly.
I’d love a version of Beverly sleeping with Bill from the book, but only it’s all three of them have sex together in the inn and the fallout (or just aftermath) of that.
Or a post-canon fic where Ben and Beverly have gotten together, I would love to see Bill show up at the doorstep, freshly divorced and fully intending to just visit his friends because they’re a little codependent post-canon, but it turns into something more. I love first times and getting together fics, especially for unconventional relationships and would love to see them navigate their new lives together.
If you wanted to write a fucked up fic where Bill and Ben plot and carry out the murder of Tom Rogan, then I wouldn't mind at all.
Well, I am being shameless and requesting this. For the record: I don’t want anything to happen pre-canon or anything before Georgie is a teenager, but I am really fascinated how fixated Bill can be on his brother and I would love to see it taken to its darkest conclusions.
I’d love any and all fic where Georgie lives, but he isn't okay. Maybe he was saved from Pennywise initially, or maybe Bill really did find Pennywise's lair when they went to go rescue Beverly, but it's been months since he's been gone and Georgie has massive amounts of trauma and has a hard time being around people. He could not remember what happened, or he could refuse to talk about it. I would love Georgie to cling to Bill (maybe he feels like he is the only one who understands him) and for Bill and Georgie to end up very codependent and all snarled up together, with Bill being the only one taking care of Georgie—maybe his parents are happy to have him back but have no idea how to deal with or take care such a traumatized kid—I would like it if Georgie were fucked up in messy ways, like violently acting out.
While I would prefer for any sexual contact to be reserved for when Georgie is a teenager or young adult, I love the thought of Georgie hitting puberty and developing a fixation on his brother that turns into a crush. I would love for Georgie to make the first move and Bill to try to gently turn him down and convince himself Georgie is just confused (Bill can have feelings, too of course, but I like Bill hating himself for it and trying desperately to repress them, and Georgie not getting it—clearly you are the only person in the world who even remotely gets what I went through, Bill!). I would like for older, adult or teen Georgie to try to make friends or date, but he can't connect or bond with anyone else, so it always goes back to Bill. I imagine Georgie is missing an arm and Derry isn't very kind to kids who are different to begin with.
If Georgie's been in the deadlights, I like the thought of him bringing a bit of Pennywise back with him, or hearing Pennywise in his head. Kind of similar to what happened to Henry Bowers, but maybe not so hopelessly doomed? I would love to see Georgie have blackouts or missing time, or maybe he gets violent in ways that scare his parents and they try to send him to Juniper Hill. Maybe Bill runs away with him to keep Georgie from being taken away and now they're on the run.
I can see Bill being the one who stays in Derry to stay with Georgie in this verse, and thus maybe he and his brother are holding down the fort for everyone else, but it also just makes them even messier and fucked up people.
I love the thought of Bill encountering a Georgie from an alternate universe where Bill died instead, especially when Bill is older and he doesn't fully recognize this older looking Georgie. Maybe Bill gets stranded in that alternate universe, or maybe that Georgie gets stranded in the canon universe, or maybe they meet in some crack in the universe, or only in dreams, but I definitely want a messy complicated weird sexual relationship to develop due to them desperately missing each other.
Or maybe an AU where Pennywise doesn’t target Georgie and Bill, but because they’re still in Derry, their parents are still influenced to be neglectful parents, so Bill takes up the slack in raising Georgie. This leaves Georgie with a massive fucked up crush on his big brother.
Pennywise giving Bill creepy Georgie oriented nightmares throughout his life, especially after Bill is an adult, or when he comes back to Derry. I would love it if he took Georgie's form to taunt him about "Hey your fixation on your brother is like, super creepy, and I'm an evil clown." I want him to take an adult form, or at least, older teenager form, if he's gonna sexually taunt Bill and be sexually aggressive towards him.
That damn forehead touch ruined me. These two seemed to be far closer as adults, probably because Bill is the de facto leader of the group, and Mike is the one who brought them all back together again and I would love to see more of that dynamic—them working together, them being leaders, them leaning on each other. Both of them really seem to not be able to be vulnerable with anyone but each other.
I’d also love anything that explores memory and how Mike remembers them all and Bill doesn’t, and how Bill starts to feel when he meets Mike again. Bill was totally okay with this very handsome man who is overly familiar hugging him and I want more of that.
I loved the scene where Mike drugged Bill to get him to see how to defeat Pennywise and I would love anything that delves into how fucked up that was. I would love drugged, surreal sex, but only if its mutual ( i.e. if Mike also ingested whatever he gave Bill). Maybe he felt he needed to drug himself as well, in order to guide him? And things escalate.
Mike going to a book signing of Bill’s in Portland, against his better judgement and they end up having a one night stand that Mike feels guilty about because he knows who Bill is, but Bill doesn’t know who he is.
Bill divorces his wife and joins Mike on his road trip, then feelings develop. Or Bill divorces Audra and invites Mike to stop by on his way through the area, then Mike never leaves.
ANY OPOV of the remaining Losers to their sudden romance would be both adorable and touching.
Bill and Mike just checking in with each other, post-movie. Long talks on the phone, emails, video calls, texting. They slowly develop feelings through these conversations.
Any kind of teen Mike/Bill things, maybe as a precursor for adult them. That relationship barely got any play in the first movie and I am curious about that dynamic. If you want them to hook up as teenagers, I’d love to see that in relation to memories being forgotten by Bill, but Mike remembering. I would especially love to see their last interaction before Bill forgot Mike.
You know, instead of Audra and Bill divorcing, they try and work it out, then a certain handsome librarian shows up at their door. I’d love to see how Mike fits in with them, maybe how Mike fills in the gaps and strengthens their relationship. Or how they become something new altogether.
I’d love to see Audra and Mike interacting and getting along famously, which brings Bill to view her in a new light. Or Audra kind of picks up on how in love with Mike bill is, and how the two of them communicate and navigate trying to invite Mike into their relationship.
My kingdom for OPOV of famous Audra Phillips and Bill Denbrough seemingly hanging out with and hanging all over some nobody from Maine and people speculating what the hell that’s all about.
Honestly, I ship Mike with both Bill and Stan, and could maybe be into Bill and Stan being a thing, but I just want everyone to love Mike and crush on him at the same time. I’d love something set when they’re teenagers and Bill and Stan are always hanging around the farm, staring at Mike while he does farm work and then getting put to work by Mike’s grandma. I’d love anything where Mike’s grandparents realize first that those boys have a crush on Mike and Mike being all, no you’re being silly!
I like the thought of Stan trying to low key woo Mike without telling him and then Bill shows up as well, think they're just hanging out as friends (but Bill would also like to woo Mike AND Stan). In general, I would love to read teenage boyfriend shenanigans, either prior to getting together or after, trying to make poly work without knowing what poly even is.
Or an AU where all three of them stay behind in Derry, and slowly fall into bed with each other because they have no one else.
I’d love a take where none of them lose their memories—maybe they killed Pennywise for real that first time? Or maybe they didn't lose their memories for some reason—and they all keep on and off dating each other until it shakes out into an actual threesome.
Or if you want to try something established, I’d love anything where the three of them try and go on dates, like Stan taking both of them bird watching or them sleeping out in one of the fields on the farm and stargazing, or Bill talking out his ideas for stories out to them. Just them being all comfortable together.
I would really love to watch them fall in love and come together at any point in their lives, and I know that's a lot for a 300 word exchange, so it's fine to leave it UST or unspoken, but I really would like to see what a three way relationship looks like between them and how they work that out.
I want loving group sex orgies set after Stan's death, or prior to his death, or AUs where he doesn't die, or AUs where he and Eddie don't die. I am also interested in gen about the losers club as a whole, especially as adults, and all the ways they are all connected. I’d also love a mix of gen and not gen, how the intensity of their connection blurs the line of friendship into something more indefinable.
I spent the whole movie expecting Mike to suggest an orgy to defeat Pennywise or perform the ritual. I still want that, tbh, where the Ritual of Chüd requires group sex, or they defeat Pennywise by harnessing the power of love...via group sex.
Or they have an orgy to bond them all closer together so they don't forget each other. Or instead of the sewers and the Neibolt house collapsing in them, they're trapped there and having sex together unlocks the way out. I would enjoy a fuck or die, or sex pollen esque scenario, but honestly, I just want the Losers to tenderly, desperately, reaffirm their bond and how much they love each other with sex.
Post-film: they all get together once a year for an orgy to reestablish their bond. They are desperate not to forget each other again.
I would love something that plays with the concept of the infamous gangbang from the book in this version, but maybe when they're older and not with Bev in the middle, necessarily. Maybe they all take turns being the focal point of a gangbang. I wouldn’t like this to replace the blood oath, so having them do both would be great.
I would enjoy a fuck or die, or sex pollen scenario
I’d love anything that explores how they all seem tied to each other and seem to be soulbonded somewhat. Maybe that is the result of the blood oath or the group sex. I’d love them to being able to feel each other’s emotions or hear each other’s thoughts, or share dreams.
Silly teenage games like spin the bottle, or truth or dare, or seven minutes in heaven that they play together as a joke, but turns serious and into something more. Childhood hijinks. Teenage dirtbags, and hazy adolescent summer memories. High school together. Horrible, bittersweet nostalgia.
The Losers being extremely codependent teenagers and the OPOV of how tight-knit they are. Maybe rumors about Beverly and her six boyfriends.
I’d love anything regarding their post-Pennywise trauma and the hurt/comfort of it all. I honestly just want a big Losers group cuddle pile.
I want anything that fills in the gaps between the first movie and the second movie. Adulthood, college, high school years. At what point did they all lose touch with each other? How long did it take for them to lose their memories of each other? Did something ever remind them of each other even while they were out living their adult lives? Bev catches Richie's stand up on a Netflix special? Eddie picks up a copy of Bill's book and has some half vague memory of him he can't quite hold on to? I love the thought of all of them reading Bill's books, even though they don't even like horror. I want them constantly drawn to each other, but not knowing who they are to each other.
Them running into each other, before the events of Chapter 2, in some other capacity, and not entirely remembering the other. Maybe Richie and Bill ran into each other in Hollywood, or Eddie and Stan ended up crossing paths—any combo of a potential meet up would be interesting. They don't entirely know the other person but there's a horrible familiarity. Maybe this leads to sexual encounters.
All the Losers going to Bill's book signing, at various different points in his career and their lives. Bll instantly connects with them, even though he can't remember them. Bill having one night stands with each of them, and parting the next day, and not knowing why that felt like such an intense emotional connection.
All of them intensely missing someone they can't remember. Like a part of them is missing and they can’t figure out why.
Post-second film (with Eddie and/or Stan alive, if you’d like) fic! I'd love to see all the Losers sort of intertwined in each other's lives going forward, like agreeing to meet up again annually, keeping in touch with one another, spending the holidays together. They have found their found family and they get to keep each other now. All the Losers keep in touch with one another, making sure they constantly meet up again, visiting each other yearly at various different points, sending gifts, skype chats, group chats. Just doing their best not to forget each other again. Them becoming each other’s family.
ANY OPOV of them from a media standpoint. Richie, Bev, and Bill are famous to some degree and I'd love anything that explores what people think when Richie starts dating Eddie, or when Bev leaves her husband. I am just curious what an outsider would even think of these changes.
The remaining Losers go into the underworld or afterlife or weird cosmic alt world to get back Eddie and Stan. Undergoing trials to get them back.
When they all get together, the ghosts of Eddie and Stan linger around them. Maybe they can see them, maybe they can touch them.
Vampire AU. I am an absolute sucker for a vampire AU, I would probably read it for every fandom. Maybe Pennywise is an evil vampire clown serial killer, eating children, and preying on the Losers Club. Maybe one of the Losers gets turned into a vampire and they all band together to support them and protect them. Or all the Losers end up becoming vampires, becoming a vampire family of eternal teenagers.
Werewolf AU! Because I love the thought of the Losers Club actually being a pack of werewolves.
Serial killer AU where the Losers are actually a group of serial killing teenagers. They could target other children, or they could be tormenting that sad lonely clown that lives down the road, like a role reversal AU. I would just love to see them as the bad guys, as the darkest versions of themselves, while still being devoted and loving to one another.
Sense8 AU, or in this case—Sense7. Feel free to play around with the whole Sense8 mythology. You can have them all born on the same day, or their soul connection being due to other reasons.
I know this is cliched, but they deserved better. I really really want Adrian lives fic, maybe Pennywise doesn’t eat him, but rather he takes him down to his lair for reasons and Don joins the Losers to try and find him. I’d love the fall out of that and the hurt/comfort that will bring. Or maybe someone intervenes, like Mike, and they make it out of Derry together. Or Don gets Adrian back somehow, by whatever means you’d like. Just bring him back.
I honestly kind of fell in love with them a little more after reading the book, so if you feel like drawing some information for backstory from the novel, I would love that. I would like to see their backstory updated for the film timeline. I especially loved the detail that Adrian felt inspired by Derry and that Adrian was a writer. I liked the difference between their perspectives. Don knows the ugliness of Derry all too well, but Adrian caught onto something almost magical.
Or just give me your take on how they met and how they fell in love, then came to live in Derry. I just want to know their full story, not just the end of it.
And honestly, I’d love anything domestic with them! How their day to day lives were, how they were planning on getting out. Their hopes and dreams. Anything like that.
If Eddie Must be dead, I would very much like Ben and Beverly to take care of Richie. I would really love to see all three of them together in a Post-Chapter 2 world. Maybe Richie moves in with them and is crashing on Ben’s couch. Maybe they drag Richie on the boat trip. Maybe none of them want to be alone after everything. I thought the movie didn’t have enough time to show everyone mourn who they’ve lost, so I would love to see that in fic, with Ben and Richie and Bev all mourning Stan and Eddie.
They have a grief, but happy-to-be-alive threesome. I would love a threesome—maybe with Bev and Richie ganging up on Ben, or Richie, not really attracted to Beverly, but helping Ben, or something with Richie in the middle and Beverly holding him as Ben takes him apart and makes Richie cry. I see it as a mutual V-shaped thing, with both Ben/Richie and Bev/Ben coexisting together at once, while Richie loves Beverly in deep, indescribable ways. I would love it if it became a long term thing.
Honestly, just Beverly and Ben trying to help Richie move on and take care of himself, but also love all over him after he comes out. Or the same with Ben or Beverly at the center. Ben and Richie helping her move out and protecting her from Tom would be wonderful.
I really loved the fake out kiss between Bev and Richie in the movie (and Ben’s face!) and would like more of that, like the opposite of gay chicken. Hetero chicken. Post-Chapter 2 with Richie and Bev being more comfortable to fake out hetero things and Ben being pleasantly confused about it would be delightful.
One of my absolute favorite moments is Richie hugging both of them after Ben kisses Bev to get her out of the deadlights. The thought of Richie shipping them from that age is cute and I would just like to see more of them in a more teenaged, high school context.
I am going to be straight with you here: I honestly just want Eddie and Richie to tag-team Ben after both of them lusted all over him in the Jade Orient scene. I am shocked and disappointed that this has not actually been written and I just need it to exist. I’d love any combination of Eddie and Richie worshipping Ben’s body, or Richie and Ben dp-ing Eddie, or Ben and Eddie working Richie through his gay sex issues… with lots of sex. I just love that Richie openly told Ben how hot he was and want all the filthy porn that stems from that—especially since I doubt Richie is very experienced.
Or maybe a post-canon fic, where they all move in together.
I can see Richie taking a sabbatical from life and his work, Eddie from his sham of a marriage, and they go and shack up with Ben in his giant house. Or I can see Ben inviting them both over because he’s worried and wants to keep an eye on them, but really he wants to hoard all the Losers closer to him. I do not want Beverley to be dead—maybe she’s just not ready for a relationship with Ben immediately after, or Ben never managed to confess his feelings, so nothing has happened there yet. I would really love to see Richie and Eddie to encourage Ben to make a move on Bev, despite making out with Ben in the same breath.
Anything exploring all their issues—Ben being scared to be alone, Richie trying to be more open about gay, Eddie trying to reclaim his life and his autonomy, and how they help each other.
But also, what if Richie and Eddie thought Ben was hot in high school too! I’m always up for teenage romance puppy love. Maybe Richie and Eddie are already together, but open with each other about liking Ben, and Ben starts to notice their attention the more he spends time with Richie and Eddie. Maybe they end up fooling around some. Maybe Richie and Eddie decide to seduce him.
Their parallels will be the death of me and I just want so much more from their dynamic! The movies gave them a lot of visual parallels, but never them bonding and I would like more of their friendship, more of moments like Bev handing Eddie a weapon and giving him strength to believe in himself, or just Eddie watching out for her.
By that same token, I’d love hurt/comfort growing up. I want so much of them being kids with abusive controlling parents and having such empathy towards each other. I would love for Bev to run to Eddie after a particularly bad day with her dad, or for Beverly to break Eddie out of house arrest when his mom decides not to let him out. Maybe them comparing their parents, venting, maybe being friends before the start of the movie and no one else realized. Maybe Eddie defends her honor and tries to stop the spread of rumors or sticks up for her.
On another note, I'd love to see some kind of dark take on them--maybe they work together to kill their parents.
Working through messy divorces together. I would love for Eddie (along with the other Losers) to help Bev move her stuff out or provide a soft spot to land. Beverly supporting Eddie through a messy divorce. Both of them getting drunk together over their shitty marriages, maybe crying and definitely snuggling.
I’d kill for an AU where Eddie and Beverly get married while being the ones to stay behind in Derry. I love the thought of them in a marriage of convenience, but one that works out for them despite an incompatible sexual attraction. I wouldn't mind if you wanted to go there with sex, but I see it as more them being lonely and doing something nice for the other...maybe Eddie is trying to convince himself he can be straight or into women, or Beverly offers sex and they try it out to see if it works—basically I see them in that no man's land that's not platonic, but isn't romantic, either.
I could also see them both having affairs with others, and not caring because they're really more of a long term partnership who have each other's backs regardless. I would love to see them research how to fight and kill Pennywise together. Maybe they each try and reach out to other Losers, like Eddie going to one of Richie’s shows and hooking up with Richie who doesn’t remember him or Beverly going to a signing of Bill’s, and they each have to pick up the pieces in the aftermath because they can’t make them remember until it’s time.
I am honestly so overwhelmed by my Richie/Eddie feelings that I don't really know where to start so these prompts are ALL over the place. I have seen Chapter 2 twice now and I keep noticing things, so my feelings are a little intense. I’d love anything with them, basically!
Eddie lives! I don’t care how! I will devour any and all the post-canon Eddie lives fic. I would love to see Eddie move in with Richie, or Eddie and Richie go on roadtrips together, or Richie confessing his feelings, or Eddie confessing his feelings. Just both of them falling back in love with each other and trying to make a relationship work. I’d really love it if the heightened emotions of the situation and all their memories coming back making them act impulsive and reckless, then them having to figure out stuff down the line.
I would love any hurt/comfort with them coping with the trauma of what they went through in Derry, either post-canon or post-Chapter 1. Maybe they have nightmares and only admit it to one another, or Richie fussing over Eddie because he is so scared of losing him again. Or wound tending! Eddie taking care of Richie and Richie taking care of Eddie.
I’d love anything that fills in the gaps of Chapter 2. There are sections where Richie is gone and he knows things he shouldn’t know, like how Eddie stabbed Bowers. I’d love to see those moments in between scenes. Richie fretting about the knife wound and feeling guilty because he wasn’t there. Or Richie comforting Eddie in the Neibolt house after Eddie failed to act. Or write my the ~rumored~ kiss that was supposed to happen after Eddie saves Richie.
Eddie doesn't die, but gets seriously injured. Richie stays with him in the aftermath at the hospital or through the entire recovery period. Or in an effort to save Eddie, Richie gets severely injured instead and Eddie steps up and takes care of him, making sure the doctors do their job.
ANYTHING about Richie and the deadlights. Richie has visions now! Richie is super annoyed by this! Eddie trying to help him with it.
Richie can’t let go and wants to bring Eddie back. Have fun with the universe, do a ritual or Richie has to go into the underworld and complete trials. Or Richie manages to bring his corpse up from the caverns and there’s a bit of necromancy. Eddie coming back a bit wrong is up to you. I’d just love any and all Richie brings Eddie back stories.
Eddie as a restless, vengeful spirit, who haunts the losers, protective of them and taking out his rage on others around them (like Bev's husband, or people mean to Richie). He haunts Richie the most.
Time travel shenanigans! Richie goes back in time to stop Eddie's death and gets caught back in '89, or gets stuck in a timeloop or a teenage Eddie ends up in the 2016 timeline post-Eddie's death, leaving a grief-stricken messed up Richie stuck with him. Go wild.
Richie being punched in the gut with his feelings for Eddie that he had completely forgotten about until he laid eyes on him again. Eddie feeling the same way. Maybe they end up making out in the bathroom at the Jade Orient because they can’t contain their feelings.
Eddie discovers the kissing bridge, either post-canon or some other time before that. Eddie adding to it when he finds it.
Growing up, Richie gets really fixated on Eddie's short shorts.
The hammock scene wrecked me. I would love more snapshots of their childhood, whether they're more moments in the hammock, or them smushed together on the couch watching movies. Just all times when they were both heavily in each other's personal space, casually touching one another and trying to act like it's not weird or that they’re seriously crushing on one another.
I love the thought of Richie being in love with Eddie, but not sure how to handle those feelings, believing it's unrequited. I love the thought of Eddie being in love with Richie, but not sure what those feelings even mean or how to name them. I love the thought of both of them just flirting with the thought of being into each other, but never anything past plausible deniability.
Richie and Eddie having blow out, intense bickering fights as a form of foreplay. Eddie being surprisingly forward and bossy and rough.
Eddie gets jealous and mad and cranky whenever Richie hangs out with other boys and plays arcade games with them, and he doesn't know why!
Maybe Richie and Eddie did act on their feelings—like mutual mastrubation sessions with Richie framing it as trying to show Eddie how to properly jerk off because he's doing it wrong, or practicing kissing with each other. I’d love any kind of budding queer sexualty, or them ending up in a secret friends with benefits situation that they both try to tell each other isn't gay at all, it's just blowing off steam or convinence. Teenage dirtbags in love, struggling to make it work.
Or they admit their feelings and become “official” and tell the other Losers, or the other Losers find out because of hickeys or bruises and Richie can’t keep his mouth shut. I’d just love awkward, intense teenage fumblings at a relationship and pushing their friendship past something else. Then they slowly start to unravel the more distance they put between themselves and themselves and Derry, until they forget it ever happened.
Them in the photobooth alone together. Them making out in the hammock. Alone at the movies together. Kissing under the kissing bridge. Eddie sneaking Richie in through his bedroom window. Dating in a way that’s not really dating, but they do everything together. Sleepovers with just the two of them and they share a bed. They get older and Richie gets a car, which gives them more freedom to just be. Just them being teenagers in love.
Them being vulnerable with each other as teenagers. Eddie letting Richie know more about his home life. Eddie trying to escape it by staying over at Richie’s. Bittersweet discussions of the future.
Richie and his “Eddie is in danger” radar. Richie being violently protective of Eddie in shocking ways. Eddie returning the sentiment.
Sonia finds out and tries to keep them apart. Sonia won’t let Eddie come out and play, so Richie (along with the other losers, naturally) bust him out. Maybe they run away together! Maybe they’re together from the time they’re teenagers until 2016.
Or maybe they meet again, after leaving Derry and forgetting, then fall in love and Eddie marries Richie instead of Myra (when it’s finally legal), then they get the phone call from Mike.
Eddie gets a job or commission to do a risk assessment for Richie Tozier, semi-famous, up and coming comedian. Eddie doesn't know him, but the more he works for him and spends time with him, the more things start to come back for both of them (no, I don't know how risk assessment works and nor do I really care).
Or Eddie goes to a live show and feels the need to go to the meet and greet. They end up hooking up, though neither of them tend to do this ever, but they can’t deny the weird, electric attraction they felt upon seeing each other and the buzzy, intense feeling they felt when they shook hands, each other feeling a similar scar on their palms.
I will never turn down a werewolf or vampire AU, especially not for these two.
Or a serial killer AU, or just Eddie ends up accidentally (or maybe on purpose) killing his mother and Richie goes on the run with Eddie.
I love the entire dynamic of Eddie and Richie constantly arguing while Stan looks so done with both of them in the background. Stan is always rolling his eyes at them. I'd love more of his POV, in general. I see him as the straight man in their three person group. I would love to see how a threesome develops, whether they get drunk and just started experimenting, or something a lot more deliberate happens. I headcanon that they were all friends before they all met Bill, so there’s some sandbox love history there to be mined.
Or something when they're adults—maybe the three of them end up in the same place together for reasons, before any of them have met their wives. They end up spending New Years together in New York, and run into each other, or they go back to Derry at the same time for a holiday, or start to remember each other, if not Pennywise, or perhaps they go back for Eddie's mom's funeral.
I would adore some kind of established Richie/Eddie, who invite Stan into their relationship. If you somehow can make a domestic AU where they’re all living together, in a relationship together work, I’d love to see anything domestic.
Any high school-era shenanigans. Richie and Eddie dragging Stan on adventures, Eddie and Stan uniting against Richie for the side of reason. Eddie and Richie teasing Stan and Stan giving back as good as he gets.
I am kind of in love with the thought of the three of them as college roommates. Maybe in an AU where they do remember Derry for reasons (Pennywise is for real dead? Soulbond? Deadlights? Or just being in close proximity to each other? Whichever!) and they end all codependent on each other. But also college shenanigans!
Stan survives his suicide attempt, whether he comes to Derry in bandages, having escaped the hospital somehow, taking his living as a sign. Or he is hospitalized throughout the entire fight with Pennywise. Eddie and Richie come to visit him and there is crying and some yelling and a lot of feelings.
I would also love to read about Stan struggling with the trauma from IT/Pennywise and having suicidal tendencies and feelings as a teenager as well, with Richie and Eddie taking care of him or being supportive or there for him. I’d love for a hurt/comfort scenario to lead to kissing.
Stan/Eddie/Richie ghost threesomes! In general, I would love Richie haunted by Stan and Eddie, and Richie feeling horrified, but not wanting them to go. I am okay with however you wanna depict the ghosts, as shadows of their former selves, in a come back wrong sort of way, or mostly the same, but not able to move on.
I am forever obsessed by how much Mike admired Beverly and how much it meant to him for her to throw that rock at Bowers. IT WAS HIS TOTEM. That’s an intense depth of emotion there and I would honestly love to see that explored, his intense feelings about Beverly and towards Beverly, the journey to finding his totem.
Branching off that, I’d love anything with them as teenagers. Mike is so quiet as a kid and I’d love to see them grow closer together and what their dynamic is like as children, then as teenagers. Maybe Mike has a crush on Beverly, too, but it’s bad enough that Ben and Bill like her, he’s sure he has no chance. Maybe Beverly likes him, too. But she likes all of her boys, so she’s not sure what it means. Maybe Mike goes to high school instead of being homeschooled and they become like an almost not-actually-a-couple power couple. Like Prom King and Queen!
Or maybe an AU where Beverly doesn’t move away and stays in Derry, but either actually killed her dad by smashing his head with the toilet cover, or he survived, but now she’s avoiding home and looking for a safe place to stay. I would love for Beverly to move in with Mike and stay at the farm. I don’t care how feasible or plausible that is, I just want it.
Speaking of moving to the farm, maybe Beverly starts hanging out there as a way to escape her dad and eventually she’s just invited to stay. I think the Hanlons are more aware of what Derry is and what its hiding and they would see right through the bullshit, and realize Beverly is being abused and maybe want to help?
Or maybe Beverly decides to stay behind with Mike in Derry and they grow kind of codependent and intertwined, forging a bond of two outsiders that the town reviled trying to save that very town.
I’d also like something creepier, like Mike calls Beverly telling her that Pennywise is back, knowing that she'll immediately leave Tom and run to Maine. It's not the first time he's done this.
Or! Beverly keeps having visions of Mike, but she doesn’t know who he is—I would love for instead of Mike tracking her down, she tracks him down (and maybe the other Losers).
Post-canon fic is always welcomed—I want so much fic set after the movie with all of them trying to move on and dealing with both the trauma of fighting Pennywise, losing Eddie and Stan and dealing with getting their memories back. I’d love to see a weird, slightly uncomfortable codependence between them especially with Mike not wanting to let any of his friends go again. I’d love for Mike to end up helping Beverly move out of her place with Tom, or for Mike to end up staying with Beverly in some way (feel free to have Ben/Bev not get together right away, or be poly or have threesomes).
So after rewatching both movies about a billion times, it’s become apparent to me that Eddie and Mike were friends pre-the rock war. When they find his bike, all the other’s call Mike the homeschool kid and it’s Eddie that confirms that it’s Mike’s bike by using his name. Then after the fight, Mike leads Eddie away by holding his hand. That… is what I want to explore. This background friendship that was implied, but never fully explained or explored.
If you want to include details from the book, I really like the detail that Eddie befriends Mike despite his mother’s racist tirades against him and that Eddie likes to hang outside Mike’s church because he likes the gospel music drifting outside. I’d love anything about how they met and how they became friends, how Mike feels about Eddie and vice versa.
Eddie running away from home and hiding out on the farm! Or maybe just sneaking in through Mike’s window and staying the night. I think Eddie feels safe with Mike and I like to think Mike is a little protective. Like I love the deleted scene where Mike puts Eddie in his basket on his bike after he breaks his arm. More of that!
Kind of riffing off my Mike/Beverly prompts, I’d also like Mike realizing what kind of life Eddie is leading and he tries to “save” him from it by calling him and inducing his memories. Or maybe Mike keeps checking in on him since Eddie is so close, it could be a day trip.
Or maybe Eddie stays behind accidentally because he gets stuck taking care of his mother because she falls very ill, and being the last ones left, he and Mike kind of strike up a relationship made of codependency and loneliness.
Mike can’t let it go that Eddie died when he can figure out how to bring him back. Go as creepy as you like with this, lean into that weird worldbuilding.
Eddie haunts Mike as a ghost because no one else can see him.
Okay, listen, you might have noticed that I like putting Richie and Eddie with a third dude loser a little—maybe a lot a little, but can you blame me when they all grow up to be babes? So I will start with my shallow prompt: I really want porn with all three of them falling into bed together. Maybe post-canon, or maybe at the Derry Inn, or maybe when they’re teens, or maybe Mike and richie hook up and Eddie’s ghost joins them, whatever you like! I’m not picky!
Richie and Eddie are established post-canon, and Mike comes to stay with them along his road trip and he decides not to leave. I’d love anything domestic and falling into a throuple situation. Or just Richie and Eddie want to thank Mike for bringing them back together—with sex.
Maybe Mike helps Richie get Eddie back, both as an apology and because Mike himself wants Eddie back, and feelings develop through the process, with Eddie coming in and making everything more complex.
I’d love anything with them as kids, maybe Richie and Eddie are established, but want to seduce Mike because they both think he’s cute.
ANYTHING that explores how Mike feels about the two of them, his OPOV on them, coming from maybe knowing Eddie, but not knowing Richie except through stories Eddie told him, Mike slowly falling a bit in love with them.
These two don’t get enough material in either film, but I think they’re an interesting combination and I’d love to see anything exploring how their friendship was built as kids! Maybe Richie finds himself going to the farm when he’s bored and he and Mike just read comics in companionable silence, maybe Richie feels safe enough there to admit he’s gay and they kiss! I just love the idea of soft teenage fumbling.
Richie straight up murdering a guy for Mike gave me a bucketload of intense feelings. Give me more protective Richie! On the flipside, I love the complicated issues between Mike and Richie given how much Richie felt lied to and betrayed and angry about Mike calling them back without fully explaining. I would like something that works through more ugly emotions that Richie has towards Mike and Mike’s guilt over Eddie’s death.
All the hurt/comfort, either as adults, or as teenagers. Any kind of romantic or flirty feelings that don't get a chance to bloom until adulthood would be lovely.
Maybe someone else stays in Derry and Richie follows Mike to college in Florida because it sounds like a good idea.
It looked like Richie was still in Derry at the end of the movie, which makes me really want fic where Richie stays with Mike after killing Pennywise and Eddie's death. I would love Richie not being able to make himself leave and he just ends up living with Mike accidentally.
They go on a roadtrip together. Mike picks him up from the kissing bridge and asks if he's ready to go. I'd love for them to comfort each other and get to know each other again.
I recently latched onto this ship when I rewatched the first movie and saw how much Mike and Stan stood by each other and comforted one another. Mike is the only one to reach out when Stan is crying at the Neibolt house and wraps him up in his arms. That part did me in and now I’d really just love anything that explores their dynamic further.
I’d love anything with them as teenagers. They’re the only ones not involved in any intra-Losers relationship drama, between the Bill/Bev/Ben love triangle and whatever Richie and Eddie are, they really only have each other as a lifeline. I’d love anything that builds on that quiet solidarity and explores their friendship that could lead to something more.
In the book, Stan likes birds and bird watches, and I kind of love that, so i’d like to see Stanley taking Michael while he goes looking for birds. There’s also a kind of headcanon that Stan is a photographer and that really hits me as making so much sense since he’s such an observer of the group, so anything to do with Stan taking pictures and Mike helping, or Stan making Mike the subject of his photos.
I don’t really want anything issue fic-like, but it would be nice to see some of their different histories and cultures coming into play, like Mike is curious about Stan’s Jewish holidays or Stan asking Mike difficult, but welcome questions, them relating on a different level than the other Losers, having quiet and deep conversations between each other. Mike bringing Stan to the farm, Stan asking Mike to attend services at the synagogue.
Anything with awkward teenage fumbling and falling in love and coming to terms with their sexuality, or figuring themselves out with each other.
Stan and Mike go to Florida after High School Graduation together. Give me the road trip, what they do, maybe their feelings come spilling out and it’s bittersweet because Stan is going away to college and Mike has to stay in Derry.
Mike remembering Stan throughout the years. Mike writing Stan letters he never sends. Maybe he gives them to him when he sees him again.
Stan staying in Derry with Mike. both of them trying to work together to defeat IT/Pennywise, but also Mike trying to hold Stan together. I am fine with you including suicide attempts and Stan’s struggle with depression while Mike tries to desperately hang onto him.
Instead of calling Stan, Mike remembers Stan is more skittish and has more Pennywise related trauma, so he makes time to go fetch Stan in person. Cue Mike showing up on Stan’s doorstep and Stan is confused as to why this mysterious and handsome stranger is there.
Mike is haunted by Stan’s ghost. Stan's ghost follows him throughout his road trip.
I might have fell a little in love with Patty when reading Stanley Takes A Bath and god, do I wish we got more of her in the films. I wanted to ask for Stan/Patty fic, but because this is for film fic, I didn’t want to be that person to tell them to write characterization from the book. But I do very much like her and I’d love anything that’s inspired by and updated to work with the film, but please don’t feel pressured to follow the book at all. The only thing I ask is that you keep Patty Jewish.
So for this, I’d really like the idea that Mike and Stan had a fling as teenagers and thus, Mike is the ex Stan forgot until Mike calls and it comes all rushing back. I’d love anything that explores Stan coming to terms with still loving Mike and loving Patty at the same time and trying to figure how this works. I’d love any and all Stan Lives AUs exploring this (I’d also like to keep Stan’s suicide attempt in tact, but Patty just gets to him quick enough).
Stan escapes the psych ward and heads to Derry to help in the fight after his suicide attempt. He now has to face going home to a very worried and upset wife. He brings Mike with him as a buffer. Patty and Mike bond, surprisingly and Stan starts thinking he could have both.
Or Mike goes to Atlanta to get Stan personally, but Patty insists on coming too, thus bringing Patty in on the secret and the fight with IT/Pennywise. Patty now understands more about Stan, but also grows to admire Mike. They all go home together.
If you want to write an AU where Patty moves to Derry when she was a kid/teenager and joins the losers Club, I’d honestly love that. I’d love to see their relationship develop from that point on. Maybe Patty and Stan choose to stay with Mike, when everyone else leaves. Or! Mike isn’t the one to stay behind and he goes to college with Stan, where they both meet Patty and fall in love.
Or Mike travels to Atlanta to meet Patty post-It Chapter 2 to console her, but ultimately Patty wants answers. Maybe they come to an agreement to bring Stan back. Mike and Patty going into the underworld for Stan!
Honestly, I’d love anything for these three, so feel free to go wherever your muse takes you.
KNIVES OUT (2019)
↳ Ships: Benoit Blanc/Marta Cabrera, Marta Cabrera/Ransom Drysdale
Crime solving! I loved that Benoit took Marta as his Watson apprentice, that entire dynamic was amazing. I would love to see more; maybe now that Marta doesn't have to work, she decides working with Benoit would be fun and interesting and a worthy cause to throw herself behind. I'd love to see him train her further.
Honestly, It would be wonderful if they went undercover as a couple, or they got to go to fancy places together, or Monoco or the opera, or have Marta get Benoit to fancy places with her new connections.
Domestic stuff between them—I'd love for Marta be living in the giant mansion and for Benoit to keep on dropping by to check in on her, discuss cases with her, hang out for her a bit, sleep over because it's cheaper than a hotel, until it gradually becomes apparent that he really just wants to spend time with her. I would love it if he ended up accidentally moving in as well.
Porn—if all you wanted to write was a PWP, I would totally be down with that. I'd love for Benoit to eat Marta out, sex while undercover, sex during a stake out, or for Marta to bang him in her new house, maybe all over the house.
Any OPOV on them getting together. What does Marta's mom think of this new man? Her sister? Or if you wanted to include the gossip among the Thrombeys about the goings on in their father’s house, or even the media attention! That would be delightful.
I really loved the section of the movie where Marta thought she was lying to Benoit and was almost a femme fatale to his hardened detective, so if you wanted to lean into that and write a noir AU of them, I’d love that.
Wouldn’t it have just been so much easier just to try and seduce Marta and make her fall in love with you, Ransom? Why did you pick the most convoluted way of getting what you wanted? Oh right, because you’re an asshole. My caveat for this fandom is that I don’t want any sort of redemption for Ransom, I don’t think he can “get better”. I think he’s too far gone for that. But I would like to see scenarios where he was a little more crafty and sneaky.
So I’d love to see an AU where after Harlan tells him his plans, Ransom decides if Marta is going to get the money, he may as well marry her and then he can have all of it. Then begins the difficult seduction of Marta while Harlan watches and knows exactly what’s going on, but thinks Marta is smart enough to figure it out on her own. So anything with Ransom trying to be charming, overly flirty, trying to make her think he is her friend.
Or I’d love an AU where she does eventually agree to marry him, but he still fully intends to murder her and maybe he catches some sort of feelings, but he’s pissed off by them because it is meant to be easy, right?
Or you could just give me ill-advised sex while Marta thought he was her ally and her feeling kind of gross after everything comes out.
Marta writes Ransom letters in prison, detailing what she is doing with his inheritance, as revenge.
THE MAGICIANS (TV)
↳ Ships: Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater/Margo Hanson/Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh/The Monster
Fandom-specific DNW: Quentin's death being permanent. He can die, but I would prefer an implication that he is going to come back, or someone is going to rescue him.
*NOTE: I am combining these two ships because I am okay with all these ideas having Margo included, or without and just focus on Quentin and Eliot. Feel free to mix and match!
That bit in ep 2? Where Eliot says if Quentin he'd kicked out of Brakebills and loses his memory, Eliot will show back up and lift up his spirits and put the sparkle back in his life? Yeah, I want that AU. Eliot going out to find Quentin so he can keep him in his life, even if his memories are gone.
I would read all about these two performing and doing magic together. Magic that goes wrong, or sexy spells or just combining their magic together to something, make something, fix something together. I'd love anything ranging from sex magic to just a quiet moment with them making flower grow.
I love the necrophilia to bring someone back to life trope, so in the wake of the S4 finale, I would really love that.
Groundhog Day AU! Quentin having to save Eliot over and over. Or Eliot having to watch him die and save him constantly.
Anything with ruling Fillory together, during that time period in early s2 where I legit thought they would all co-rule as kings and queens, either with Margo involved in a platonic way or ship way.
I’d love more of either Quentin or Eliot having visions or hallucinations of each other while Eliot is possessed. Maybe they’re able to visit in their dreams, but neither are sure it’s real or just more torment.
Quentin and Eliot discover some dark magic or dark magic texts and get addicted to using it.
I love any kind of serial killer AU, especially if there's a murder road trip involved. Either one of them being the serial killer is fine, though I have a love for Eliot being fucked up and twisted and Quentin following him anyway and I would also be into both of being a serial killer couple. They can also still be magicians or somewhat magical as well.
Quentin repeatedly dying and Eliot bringing him back each time but he comes back a little wrong each time.
Ghost sex to bring Quentin back to life.
The reveal this show has multiple timelines and alternate universes has made me want fic where Quentin runs into "Eliot" from another universe and doesn't realize that he's the evil version at first. Or doesn't realize that he's another Eliot. Or Quentin from another universe or timeline comes to this one to find his counterpart dead and Eliot tried to keep Alt Quentin and only later finds out he's an evil amoral version of Quentin. Or any kind of EVIL TWINS trope. I'd love a comedy version of this but also a dark twisted sad version as well.
ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE AU. I'd love to see how Quentin and Eliot survive it, given their magic, or would they just stop the apocalypse before it escalates because of magic.
Any kind of domestic fic where they make it work somehow and end up raising kids in this timeline as well.
Bringing Quentin from the dead. Maybe they have to go into the underworld, Orpheus and Eurydice-style or there is a dark magical ritual that involves anything gross or uncomfortable things. Bring him back however you like!
Cracky, magical weirdness or horror weirdness. Like them trapped in a horror movie, or creepy, magical forests.
Time loops! They have to work to get out of it, or something like mosaic timeline. I really love how the show plays with time and timelines, so lean into that.
Monster transformations, like Quentin gets turned into a werewolf or Eliot becomes a vampire. I would love if maybe when they turn, they turn the others on purpose or by accident.
Underworld rescue, time to go save Q. Margo and Eliot go save Quentin and bring him back from the dead, however you want to do it. Feel free to add the others also rescuing Quentin or helping, just as long as the main ship is Quentin/Eliot/Margo or Quentin/Eliot.
Alternatively, give me more of Quentin and Margo working together to save their Eliot! I was saddened that Margo wasn't as much a part of that and I would love to see a different take, with Margo and Quentin bonding, both trying to manage the monster in some ways and Margo/Quentin hurt/comfort over the trauma of the whole experience.
AU where Quentin doesn't die and they get Eliot back at the end of S4. I would love some trauma recovery from that ordeal, and them taking care of each other and maybe struggling to recover but struggling together.
Margo and Eliot dom Quentin, either in a formal BDSM way with safe words and negotiations or with their sex lives, they gradually realizes Quentin likes being ordered around and manhandled.
Early s1, with Eliot and Margo deciding to seduce Quentin together. I'd love both them making it a competition that escalates, or if they agree to tag team him. I would love it if Quentin is oblivious to what they're doing but also perhaps as not as much as a newborn naive baby in the woods as they assume him to be.
Anything with the S1 threesome itself or the aftermath. I always wish we got more follow through or at least, more or the hurt/comfort that lead to Margo and Quentin having sex and how that escalated to a threesome.
I love how genuinely goddamn anything is possible in this universe but the plot moves so fast that it's hard to really enjoy the general crackiness of the so what I am saying, I would like anything that embraces how absurd the verse can be and runs with it.
Sex pollen is always fun, or creative playful uses of sex pollen or magical rituals that require sex. I would love them stumbling into a field of Fillory flowers that are dangerous, either in a sex pollen or fuck or die sort of way, but also causes any number of weird things. Maybe flowers that make them all tell the truth or they accidentally get turned into animals!
Or for them to piss off some magical forest Fillory creature that soul binds them, forces them to be unable to leave each other's sides, makes them all switch bodies, etc.
Dreamsharing for everyone!
I'd love a werewolf AU where SOMEONE gets it by a werewolf and they have to cope with that somehow. I vote for Quentin to be the one bitten, but whatever makes the story work best. I'd love for a little wolf pack AU where they all become werewolves as well.
Or on the flip side, Eliot becomes a vampire. Or Margo becomes a vampire. Play this as fun and sexy, or dark as you want. I'd love to see what a vampire magician looks like, I'd love to see the rest of them adjust to new changes (and sexy bloodsharing), but I would also dark stuff with escalating murder and/violence because of their transformation.
I really want creepy intense dubcon with The Monster in Eliot's body. There are many ways I can imagine this: from Quentin trying to stop The Monster from hurting other people or doing bad things by offering up his body/sex/sexual favors, or The Monster “allowing” Eliot to come out for moments with Quentin or even sex, but only temporarily. Any kind of unhealthy sexual coping mechanisms and rough sex with The Monster as some kind of bargaining tool would be amazing.
A timeloop where Quentin keeps dying, and Eliot has to try to stop it, but he can't. Eliot trying to figure out ways to save Quentin. The pain of watching him die over and over becoming overwhelming and too much.
Transference issues, with Quentin missing Eliot so bad and The Monster pretending to be him. I would love for Quentin to angrily reject The Monster's attempts at acting like Eliot, but also get to a place where he is so badly fucked up, he is willing to take The Monster's fucked up comfort. I would love hurt/comfort with The Monster doing the comforting.
Quentin trying to keep The Monster in check, playing games with him, and teaching him about humanity. Or trying to. More of their dynamic, really.
The monster performing seemingly innocuous displays of affection, like hugs and snuggles, and Quentin freaked out about it, but not feeling like he can reject these displays or else he might upset The Monster.
The monster being possessive of Quentin, and refusing to let him go, and not wanting him to like any other friends better than him. Killing people around him (though I prefer no named characters like Julia or Margo die), isolating him, maybe taking him away somewhere, forcing him to play his games.
Quentin getting used to The Monster, maybe even growing to care for him, much to The Monster's delight. Creepy monster fluff. Quentin becoming codependent with The Monster and socially isolated from everyone else, while he tries to find a way to get Eliot back and not realizing how far gone he is in allowing The Monster in his life. People like Julia or Alice trying to help Quentin and kill The Monster to free him, but Quentin defending The Monster from them because in his mind, The Monster equals Eliot.
More of Quentin just living with The Monster as he runs around causing chaos and murdering people. Their forced cohabitation is fascinating.
Quentin allowing The Monster to do whatever he wants to him, as long as he doesn't hurt Eliot and gives Eliot back. Maybe he offers up his own body for possession instead.
If you write smut, I would love more choking/erotic asphyxiation, aka The Monster choking Quentin and Quentin hating that he gets off on it.
I’d love more of either Quentin or Eliot having visions or hallucinations of each other. Maybe they’re able to visit in their dreams, but neither are sure it’s real or just more torment.
I love, in a really terrible way, that Eliot realizes what he lost in rejecting Quentin while he’s possessed and that’s what he uses to prove that he’s still alive in there. I want more of that, how they keep fucking up coming together, and then events happen where they can’t actually be together.
The Monster feeling Eliot’s love for Quentin and tormenting him over it. Um, I kind of want this to play out like a fucked up love triangle, in some aspects. So make of that what you will.
More Eliot's POV of the whole ordeal. I know in general, he was trapped in his own head for a large portion of the possession, but I would love to see him be more actively aware of what was happening and try to communicate with Quentin.
Quentin dies, but doesn’t defeat The Monster. So Eliot and The Monster have to work together to get him back from the underworld/afterlife. I would also love Eliot working on his own or with other people to get him back from the dead. I am a sucker for the underworld rescue trope.
READY OR NOT (2019)
↳ Ships: Alex Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas, Alex Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas/Grace Le Domas, Alex Le Domas/Grace Le Domas, Alex Le Domas/Charity Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas, Alex Le Domas/Charity Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas/Grace Le Domas, Charity Le Domas/Daniel Le Domas, Charity Le Domas/Grace Le Domas
I am a sucker for codependent brothers, especially when they're as wrapped in as much guilt and trauma as these two are. I knew I was going to ship from the opening scene where Daniel was trying to protect and hide Alex. Then that scene where Daniel talks Alex down from choking their father to death? Did me in. Them constantly trading significant glances at each other all night? Yes. Daniel protecting Alex his whole life and possibly just making things worse, since he was never actually able to save Alex from their family? YES. Just give me more of them and their messiness.
Daniel trying to save Alex from their family and encouraging him to leave, while also desperately wanting him to stay in his life. Daniel seeing Alex as better than their family and turning out to be horribly wrong.
In general, I'm really interested in how the movie starts with Daniel selling out his aunt’s husband and how that haunted him his whole life, and the role reversal he and Alex undergo by the end of the movie.
Any other times with Daniel talking and calming Alex down from his frankly terrifying rage, like when he was choking out his dad. Preferably with soothing words and more soothing touches.
Teen them sharing a room, sharing a bed, even though they have enough of their own space. Alex having nightmare and going to Daniel for comfort. In general, hurt/comfort for them, especially in light of the terror and horror of everything about their family.
Alex instigating their whole sexual relationship.
Getting so fucked up, Daniel drunkenly hits on his brother in front of everyone.
Emilie walking in on Alex/Daniel. I'd love something ridiculous for this, like Emilie tattling and no one caring because the rich and their weird proclivities—or seriously dark and disturbing, with there being fall out and Daniel and/or Alex feeling guilty. I would love their parents’ reactions or perhaps, Aunt Helene having a non-reaction.
Any OPOV on them, from any family member, honestly.
Backstory fic for Grace and Alex! It went so wrong, but I am honestly really into both of them looking for a family in each other, with Grace wanting a family at all to love and accept her, and Alex wanting someone to replace his family, to get love and validation from someone not his parents. I'd love to see the start of her relationship with Alex and specifically, something regarding his line about how he proposed because he was scared to lose her. Was Grace going to leave him? Was he deliberately trying not to marry her to avoid all of this?
Alex trying to escape his family, and being drawn back in. Alex knowing his family is basically a cult and still struggling to unlearn everything they taught him. How he met Grace and how he was trying to have his cake and eat it too, so to speak. Alex wanted to keep Grace, but in order to keep her, he had to marry her, which could result in him losing her.
Backstory backstory backstory! I just want to know how these two met and ended up together, and how they dissolved into this antagonistic marriage. Daniel must have loved her once, what happened? I’d love anything that explores that.
Charity saying Daniel knew where she came from and how that makes her want to fight for this lifestyle, unflinchingly, haunts me. I want to know what kind of life she left and where Daniel met her and how she doesn’t care about what the Le Domas family does. I love how ruthless she is and I’d love to see how that kind of personality attracted Daniel’s apathy.
I have a headcanon that Charity was a sex worker prior to marrying Daniel, so he kind of drunkenly Pretty Woman’s her until they actually fall in love. But then Daniel tells her about his family and Charity wants that sense of security and wealth, even at that terrible cost.
Charity comes from a low income background, so does Grace (and so does Becky). I’d love anything where Grace gets to live and finds that out, she and Charity realize they have more in common than not. Maybe they form an alliance.
I’d love anything where Grace finds out about Alex/Daniel, then Charity comes and is like, “oh, you know now, welcome to the club” and maybe they make out.
I don’t have a ton of thoughts because they barely interacted beyond Charity trying to kill Grace and I’d love that addressed. I just want to see more of them interacting, let’s be honest!
*Note: Grouping all of these together because a lot of these prompts are kind of general, so feel free to mix and match. Some will have specific OT3s mentioned with an OT4 out.
Just give me the AU where Alex is five minutes early and is able to stop Daniel from being shot. Wherever that goes, is up to you?
Charity seemed really flirty with Alex when she came to check in on him and the wheels in my head started spinning, and landed on Charity knowing about past Alex/Daniel, maybe pre-Grace, she joined them in bed. I’d love anything that plores the kind of fucked up dynamic between the three of them before Alex left altogether.
Alex introducing Daniel to Grace. I'm desperately curious about how that meeting went. I thought it was interesting how Daniel seemed to be the only family member who already knew Grace. Did she also meet Charity at that point?
Grace finding out about Alex/Charity/Daniel in an AU where she pulls a different card and they invite her to their weird, creepy rich people incest relationship.
Alex as Bluebeard AU. Or Alex the accidental, unwitting Bluebeard. Or Daniel as Bluebeard. The entire movie gave me fucked-up Bluebeard vibes and that's what I'm about.
Grace doesn't draw the hide & seek card. She and Alex go on their honeymoon. This isn't necessarily a happy ending. Or basically, Grace marries into the family, and becomes a part of them, just like she wanted, with all that entails.
Vampire AU! Werewolf AU! Twist up the Le Domas family and make them something other than a family under the thumb of the Devil. Maybe Grace has to join their weird monster cult instead. Charity has obviously already joined.
Grace and Daniel both die, then come back to haunt Alex. Or Daniel lives, but Charity dies and comes back to haunt him. All the ghosts haunting people!
Or Grace dies AU, but she comes back to haunt Alex, and never leaves him alone. I would love for her to take revenge on him, in such a way where he doesn't actually die, but driven mad, or sent to jail, and she still haunts him even then. Maybe Daniel also haunts Alex as well. Maybe there is creepy ghost sex.
I really want a Grace/Daniel/Alex AU as head of the family, however way you can make that work. Grace makes a deal to spare the younger generations? Grace wins the game and is able to change the terms? Grace brings back Daniel and Alex back to life somehow but for her own reasons? Or you can throw in Charity as a fourth head of the family. Them all being kind of a fucked up foursome dynamic.
I really wanted to see a Hostel Part 2-esque ending, where the only way to not be killed is to join the bad guys in some capacity—either Grace selling her soul, or taking over in some way. It'd be bleak and awful and I would love it.
Daniel doesn't die. He and Alex save Grace. Somehow, they are spared from exploding (Charity included, maybe?), but at what cost?
I’d love a kind of fucked up situation where Grace being pregnant negates the Hide & Seek card, so Grace joins the family and is tied to them by blood now, and how that comes with all that entails. Grace wanted a family so much and now she has one, but it’s horrible. Or, Grace makes her own deal with Le Bail. You can go full Rosemary’s Baby AU here.

I am a sucker for siblings who are trying to make it on their own when their parents are shitty and I latched onto these two like a baby duck imprinting on its mother. It hurt me, in the end. I’d love anything that fixes their ending!!!! Either Ellie figures out where Delilah is and gets her out before Love shows up or Delilah makes sure she has back-up before doing her own investigation. I just want Delilah to live! And be safe! And be with her sister!
By the same token, I’d love anything that explores their backstory. We got hints of it in the show, like Delilah leaving first, then Ellie going after her. I’d love to see anything from when they were younger, or when Ellie first arrived in Delilah’s life. I just love the dynamic of an older sister having to raise her baby sister, but the two of them have such headstrong personalities.
I am forever sad that Joe got involved with Delilah’s investigation of Hendy and accidentally killed him. I’d have loved it if Delilah and Ellie had come to an agreement to work together to bring him down. Maybe using Ellie as a spy? Anything like that!
This is a long shot, crack ship, but they deserved so much more and it would have been beautiful to see them hook up and realize they can compile their resources to take Joe down. And maybe they fall in love? And Ellie has two moms? I can dream, okay?
I really, really enjoyed how much Ellie and Forty connected over movies and how Ellie weirdly had a positive influence on Forty in the sense he finally felt responsible for someone other than himself. I just wanted more of them bonding over movies and working on the script together.
On the flipside, I wanted him to be the one to take care of her after she was being pegged for the murder of Hendy and I wanted Ellie and Forty to take down Joe. So Forty Lives AU and he gets Ellie the hell out of dodge and they work together to figure out how to handle the Joe situation.
I was very into these twisted complicated dynamics between these three this season, and so sad when Forty died. I’d love to see the end of S2 with Forty in the mix and not dead. I love the thought of Joe sort of being emotionally blackmailed and held hostage/trapped in this relationship, with Love convinced it’s True Soulmate Love between them, and Forty a little more clear-eyed, but wanting to make his sister happy.
I don’t want rape, but definitely some dubiously consensual situations where Joe is down for sex, but only because he’s trapped in this relationship and doesn’t know how to escape, and it’s easier to go along, especially with Love being so mercurial. I’d love to see them in a creepy domestic situation afterwards, playing house together and preparing for the baby to come, and Joe not sure how to get out of this situation.
I’d be happy with both Forty and Love both sharing Joe at separate times, or an incestuous threesome, or something in between—like, sharing a man is bound to bring up some incest vibes regardless if you’re actually physically fucking your sister or not, yes?
(I’d be okay if Joe gets out of this in some outlandish way eventually, but also okay if he just suffers—or if he develops his own sort of Stockholm Syndrome.)
In general, I like the thought of Joe, of all people, getting stuck with two people more morally depraved than he is (though, I don’t think Forty is as bad as Love).
More stuff with Joe in the cage! Whether it’s just Joe languishing there while Love and/or Forty visit daily, or Joe losing his mind the longer he stays there. Maybe they just decide to keep him there as their pet psychopath.
Anything with the twins seducing Joe at any point in S2—I am totally down for an incestous threesome without Joe getting corralled between them.
I got a serious twincest vibe between Forty/Love and I just want...backstory. Creepy incestous stuff as teenagers, or sublimating their desires in other ways, projecting their feelings onto other people, the two of them being fixated and obsessed and possessive of one another. Love being over-protective, Forty being overly needy. I’d love to see them carry out an actual affair while Love and Joe are together. Given all of Joe’s issues about being cheated on, I think it’d be really interesting if the cheating is with Love’s brother—would he even suspect that or think it’s too out there?
I would just love more of Forty being codependent and creepy and needy about Love, and Love enjoying it. Love killed for him! I want the fall out of that!
I would love it if Love’s baby is actually Forty’s baby, and she’s using Joe as a plausible deniability.
As far as Forty/Joe goes, I thought for sure they were coding some kind of subtextual queer relationship with Forty constantly calling Joe “Old Sport,” given the Gatsby reference. I would love to see more of them and Forty projecting his codependency and neediness onto Joe, and Joe being manipulative with his affection, but getting attached despite himself. I would even love something kind of sweet between them—all the hugs and bonding really got to me.
It’d be interesting if after all the time pretending to be gay in S1, if Joe discovers he may actually be into men on some level when Forty kisses him.
I REALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO FUCK WHEN THEY WERE HIGH. So please. Let them have sex while high. Then show me the fallout.
Feel free to go dark as well, because I loved that time when Forty held Joe at gunpoint. I’d love an AU where he DOESN’T die and it’s because Forty injures Joe, and they all cover up what happened when Detective Fincher arrives and Forty knows exactly what Joe is and is always keeping an eye on him.
WHEN YOU FUCK HER, THINK OF ME, JOE. Just, holy shit man, run with that. Forty wants Joe to think of him while having sex!
I shipped them really hard this season and I was so sad when Forty died, please just give me more of them, more snuggling and weird acid trips and Forty asking if Joe would fuck him and maybe actual sex. Just anything would be lovely!
I love Guinevere Beck so much and I love twisted femslash, so I’d love to see any take on these ships.
My kingdom for an AU where Peach doesn’t die and they kill/stop/send Joe to jail. Peach/Beck hurt/comfort follows afterwards, maybe they even go to Paris like Peach planned, but Peach/Beck is still all kinds of messy and creepy.
I’d love backstory! They’re best friends with creepy poor boundaries! I’d love to see their childhood or adolescence together, blurring the line between friends and something more, and how Peach got so attached to her. I’d love Beck to realize/know Peach is in fact, bad news, but she doesn’t know how to cut her out of her life after knowing her for so long, and on some level, doesn’t want to because she enjoys the attention and loves her in her own needy way, too.
Fooling around as teenagers/college kids together!. Perhaps they did have a short term fling that Peach has never been able to let go.
Anything with Peach stalking her, overstepping boundaries, taking photos, watching her sleep, dressing her up and buying her clothes, and being controlling but with a sweet facade. “Taking care” of Beck in the way that suits Peach.
I wish we had gotten to see more of Beck’s side of the relationship, more of what she got out of Peach being in her life, or just Beck’s article on Peach’s death and more of her processing her death. I’d love to see Beck try to reconcile knowing that Peach was in love with her and wanted to own her in some way, but missing her deeply and desperately.
Or! An AU where Joe doesn’t exist, and Peach eventually woos and dates Beck. Eventually, Beck has her own realization that Peach has been stalking her for a long time. Maybe she finds all the photos she took of her. Maybe she doesn’t care.
More cracky femslash from me!
In terms of Beck/Love, I love the thought of Beck meeting Love and Love becoming hyperfixated on her, the way she did with Joe. Or simply Love being in Joe’s position in Beck’s narrative. I know Love hates Beck for not being Good Enough for Joe, but I’d love to see her meet her on her own terms, without Joe’s influence. Maybe Joe doesn’t exist, but Love does.
I don’t have a lot of prompts for these two—I’m mainly interested in how Love is a mirror of Joe in many ways, and thus want to see how Love/Beck would shake out. Give me Love latching on to Beck and refusing to let go and killing people around her. I would love to see how the narrative changes with Peach when Beck is with a woman and a wealthy woman at that. I am just really curious about the possibilities!
