Chocolate Box 2019
This is the letter for Chocolate Box 2019 for Labocat on AO3!
General things! This is just broad-view stuff; I'll note where applicable in specific sections if canons/ships can ignore something.
In General: I’m really happy with anything! And by anything, I really do mean just about anything; it’s hard to find something that I absolutely don’t like hard stop. I’m good with all ratings, from G to NC-17, and while there are a bunch of ships requested, I'm okay with anything from pining and getting together to established relationships taking the backseat to a larger plot event. As this is a more lax exchange, please feel free to mix up styles or try something new! Changing PoV of the same situation? Snapshot scenes? Epistolary? Are all amazing, so please feel free to experiment if that's where the mood takes you! I also love all genres: fluff, action/adventure, hurt/comfort, canon, AU, pre/post-series, crossovers; if you have something in mind already, I’ll probably love it! I do prefer things to end on a happy or hopeful note, but I would never pass on or ask against angst and drama or even character injury.
Some tropes I adore that are relevant (non-comprehensive):
- hurt/comfort and whump
- alternate PoVs of scenes
- pre-canon backstory
- curtainfic/established relationship
- casefic
- fake relationship/arranged marriage/accidentally married/accidental confessions
- found family
- enemies/rivals to lovers (also friends to lovers)
- secret relationships/friendships
- reincarnation/fated/soulbonds
- trapped somewhere together
- loyalty
- magically bonded together (either physically or telepathically)
- redemption and corruption (obv doesn't have to be in the same story, but I am good with either route!)
- road trips
- the 90s anime onsen episode
My DNWs are very few and are unlikely to come up in these canons, but just in case: pregnancy/kids, Gift of the Magi-esque miscommunication, non-canonical pronouns, and suicidal thoughts/actions from characters further than canon would go.
Really Optional Details That Are Entirely Optional (okay let’s just call them kinks): If you wanted to go a M/E route, and are comfortable writing any of the following, I really enjoy size difference, blindfolds, orgasm denial, sex pollen, messy/sloppy sex, intercrual, oral, semi-public sex (like in a closet or alley), sensory deprivation, breathplay, toys (especially hidden plugs/vibes), marking/possessiveness, overstimulation, body worship, slow, drawn-out sex that can really tie in with the aforementioned body worship, or awkward first times. I also like a lot of things that generally have to be requested and that most people aren’t comfortable with so they are Extra Optional: dubcon, vore/gore, tentacles and xenophilia, oviposition, come inflation, a/b/o, bloodplay, threesomes/moresomes, double penetration, degradation, non-con body mods, and collars.
Also, past letters are fair game to check if I've requested a fandom before! I've requested a few of these before in different exchanges, and while what I ask for may have shifted, I'm still interested for the same reasons and in for similar prompts.
Kell/Holland
I would love anything with the two of them, especially a fix-it where they get to keep their Antari powers or continue living as the opposite sides of Antari coins in different Londons. Any sort of missing scene between them at any point during the books would be welcome, or any time they ran into each other beforehand! Beforehand is especially alluring because I love the idea of all the different ways their interactions could have gone under the power shift from Vortalis to the Danes, and how much was apparent even in just Holland's interactions with Kell. (I also love the loyalty between Holland and Vortalis, so if you want to play with that, please feel free!) I love Holland teaching Kell spells he hadn't known before, and the difference in how they both interact with and treat Osaron. As much as I can get behind the “who you were in the past doesn’t matter, it’s who you are now” mentality, I am still deeply curious as to Kell’s origins and how the magic chooses an Antari and how it could parallel - even from the very beginning, be the polar opposite of - Holland’s magical growth.
I’ll also admit to being really into the bloodplay possibilities of Antari magic - the Danes drinking Holland’s blood in front of Kell was what catapulted me to Twitter to start to recruit friends to read the book. What if Kell had accepted the glass? Or if Athos hadn’t offered him anything else? What if they’d forced Holland to stay and watch while Kell drank it? Does Antari blood have a certain allure/affect on other Antari? The compulsive brand on Holland is also really alluring and I am very okay with him being coerced into doing things he normally wouldn’t do in regards to Kell.
Ned/Crispin, Ben/Jonah
Ned/Crispin: Historical fantasy is such a weakness of mine and I just absolutely fell in love with this spin-off. I love the concept of graphomancy, and I love characters who have a type of magic that falls outside of the standard rules and methods and so have to create their own path, so I was doomed from the start. I think that Ned and Crispin’s relationship is wonderful and adorable. Nicknames! Each thinking the other is wildly successful and amazing (despite not thinking they themselves are all that)! Ned being grumpy about suddenly being magical! Graphomancy! Being recruited precisely because they’re oddities (which fits so nicely into my love of what a character thinks of as a weakness others see as their strength)! I think it’s really charming that Ned’s talent was one for hearing to begin with when Crispin absolutely lacks it - they complement each other so well and I loved seeing them play off of that to solve problems. I think Ned would still take a lot of time to get used to have more than a flit’s talent, so maybe Crispin helping him deal with it or finding a way to use his hearing in a way that is actually nice and pleasing rather than stressful from all the noise of London. Their first run (or few runs as they fumble through!) as justiciary would be so neat to see as well!
Ben/Jonah: I would absolutely adore curtainfic for these two, to be honest. I love that they got their happy ending and that it was so sweetly domestic and accepting, especially from where both of them started out, both in the book and in their lives. I love that the entire village rallies behind them and that they've found reconciliation and a physical home as well as their home in each other. The prequel comic is for them on Valentine's Day and apart, maybe something about them on Valentine's Day now that they're back together?
Eddie/Venom, Eddie/Dan/Anne/Venom, Eddie&Dan&Anne&Venom, Venom & Anne
Body sharing! Symbiotes! Cultures not at all matching! Insults as terms of endearment! Deciding at the end of the day that you don't want to destroy the other party after all! That you actually really like them! I cannot even explain how much I enjoyed this movie except that it was ridiculous in all the best ways but still delivered exactly the sort of human/alien content I love best. I love the banter, I love the tater tots, I love the walking of the line of trying to keep Venom satisfied and vigilante, and the grey morality that comes with all of that.
I love Eddie/Venom and all that potential, but I also really love how willing to roll with it Anne and Dan ended up being - in any other movie, they would've been far more of a hurdle, but Anne especially has probably had enough practice with Eddie's Bad Decisions that she's accepted that he is an adult and after a while all that can be done is mitigate it. I love all of them interacting, either platonically or romantically, and I especially am intrigued by Anne's brief possession by Venom and their alliance - how does this continue once she knows Venom is actually back? How does Eddie feel about the fact that his ex has a better current relationship with the parasite than him?
I will also point back up to my porn likes and just say Yes.
Any Avatar & Their Patron, Elias/Jon&The Beholding, Jon&Statement-Giver&The Beholding, Martin/Elias/Jon, Martin/Mr.Spider, Michael/Jon
I would love really leaning into the creepy/unsettling angles of all of these interactions, especially the voyeurism/omnipresent aspects of Beholding and the Patrons. Compulsion or coercion are especially great!
I love undercurrents of things being subtly wrong, or the total mismatch of morality - one party doesn't see anything wrong with a situation, and the other either doesn't have the opportunity or can't explain what's wrong.
Blackmail or gaslighting is also 100% good to go. Or what should be an entirely normal situation made horribly wrong by the presence of something that shouldn't be there.
Female Champion/Corrupt Drider, Female Champion/Hellhound, Female Champion/Imp Lord, Female Champion/Kelt, Female Champion/Minotaur Sons, Female Champion/Tentacle Beast, Male Champion/Erlking, Male Champion/Hellhound, Male Champion/Minotaur
My DNWs change entirely for this, please disregard the general ones and replace with scat, watersports, and prolapse. Everything else is fair game.
This game is all about the human/monster kink and size difference and forced impregnation and I am all here for it. I don't have any specific prompts for this - really just anything in line with interactions in the game for the Champion and the listed monsters would be amazing. Particular relevant likes are size difference, overstimulation, humiliation, aphrodisiacs, exhibitionism, heats, come inflation, forced impregnation, tentacles, breeding kink, grooming, piercings, public use, xeno, body-mods, among others. I really don't know what else to say here other than go nuts and have fun.
As usual, I have requested these in Original Works because I love the base trope and jumping-off point - no matter what you do, I'll love it! Below are just a few things that came to my mind about them - feel free to use them, ignore them, or mix and match as you please! In general, I prefer m/m or f/f if a prompt is vague, but that's not a hard line!
Alien/Paid Surrogate for its Eggs Why is the surrogate there? Are they really into xeno? Do they need the money? Is the alien really into humans? Do they have a job where they can't carry the eggs, or do they just dream of being a single parent? Is this a parental thing or do they just need to offload the eggs?
Camgirl who Wants to Add Variety to her Show/Camera-shy Tentacle Monster Roommate I am all here for sweet fluffy seduction and slowly convincing her tentacle monster roommate to be on her show. Whether or not it actually ends up with the camshow or just the convincing is totally up to you. Has there been secret pining from one side or the other? Is there a way only her roommate's tentacles can be shown?
Confused Male Astronaut/Friendly Male Alien that Wants to Have His Babies How many times has the astronaut tried to explain? Is there no shared language, and both of them are just supremely confused but also not against trying again (and again)?
Explorer/Forgotten Deity of a Long Lost Shrine Was the explorer kind of trying to find this shrine, but didn't know about the deity? Do they become a new acolyte? Are they a benevolent deity or not at all? Are they mad about being forgotten, or just kind of sulky? Did they somehow lead the explorer here?
Female Cop Skeptical About Androids/Female-identifying Android who's Been Assigned as Her Partner Either buddy-cop or grimdark is totally cool as a direction to go with this
Female Pirate/Female Stowaway Why is the stowaway there? Was she trying to escape, or has she always wanted to live at sea, or did she just take a nap somewhere she shouldn't have? Is the pirate assigned to watch out for her, or does she just feel responsible?
Forest Witch/Female Embodiment of the Forest I love the imagery of this. Is the witch an acolyte of the forest for this reason, or has she never known that the forest could take form and just always felt a call to it? Did the forest take form simply to communicate with her after watching her in the forest?
Inept Incubus/Male Target How long has the incubus been trying to target this guy? Or is he just trying new guys in the hopes that one day it'll work? Are there any side effects to his not having fed in a while (or just poorly)?
Newly-Crowned Queen/Charming Female Entertainer Sent to Her as a Coronation Gift Was there an ulterior motive to the entertainer being sent? Did she volunteer?
Pirate/Siren Is the siren trying to lead the ship astray, or have they tried to keep from sinking any ship the pirate is on? Or do they just keep trying to bring the pirate to them, and the pirate somehow keeps escaping them?
Sentient Plant Being/Human
Snake God Who Seeks a Vessel to Incubate His Eggs/Newly Ordained Snake Priest
Winter Witch/Spring Witch
