Dear Unseen Letters Writer

[fickle]

Hello!

First of all, please take anything I say below as only a suggestion. If you have something you're excited to write, go for it! My suggestions are only things I like and you are in no way obligated to write them!

In general, I like dark, angsty, emotionally-heavy pieces. I'm not interested in fluff, but I love unhealthy relationships, obsession, addiction, emotional manipulation, blackmail, guilt, coercion, abuse of authority and hate-flirting/black rom.

DO NOT WANT:

• mistreatment of a mentally disabled person
  
• animal abuse/death
  
• A/B/O
  
• age play
  
• sexualization of children
  
• soulmates
  
• reincarnation
  
• pregnancy
  
• polyamory
  
• office/coffeeshop AUs

The first few, upto and including sexualization of children, are things that trigger/deeply upset me. The rest are just things that I'm not interested in reading about, in case you were wondering why it goes from horrible to harmless.

Fandom-specific scenarios are under a cut and again, COMPLETELY OPTIONAL!

Homestuck Scenarios:

• I love Caliborn's early obsession with Dirk! What if it carried over to Lord English? What if he just can't leave Dirk alone? Text-based via pesterchum is good, but also longer messages sent via peons/minions would be fine!
  
• Caliborn wants to break Dirk of this hero-worship for the brother he never knew.
  
• Dirk rebounds onto Caliborn after Jake dumps him, because Caliborn was so goddamn clingy that there's no way he'll find Dirk too clingy, right?
  
• For Alpha Dave/Dirk, I'm fine either with canon timeline, where Dave has to leave messages for Dirk which Dirk can't really reply to, but maybe tries to, OR a total non-Sburb AU where Dave raises Dirk but is away shooting movies most of the time, so Dirk has to communicate via emails, texts, social media, etc. If you're going the Alpha Dave/Dirk route, I'd really like conflict/guilt/shame on Alpha Dave's part, since that's his little brother. Dirk's already so filled with self-hate that I don't think I need to request anything more. I vastly, vastly prefer Alpha Dave as the aggressor here!
  

League of Legends Scenarios:

• Jinx/Lux - look, I just really love the Star Guardian girls SO SO SO MUCH. Texts between Jinx and Lux, maybe Jinx being jealous but trying to hide it while teasing Lux about Ezreal? Lux trying to talk Jinx into coming to practices? Jinx taking off post-battle and Lux finding out she got injured via texts? Terribly-written love letters where Jinx pours out her heart and throws them all away because they're so clumsy but Lux finds them anyway? Or Lulu draws on the back of them when she needs paper and then shows the drawings to Lux but Lux sees the other side as well? I JUST REALLY LOVE THOSE TWO.
  
• Likewise, I love Talon. A lot. I'm not sure how I feel about the new short story (where he's waiting to be ordered to kill Kat again and has named the knife after her that he's going to use to kill her, his diction feels too elegant for a kid who grew up poor and in Noxus' underground) but I do like the fact that Kat literally didn't know who he was until he was sent to kill her. So much for being 'adopted' into the family.
  
  ANYWAY, Talon/Vladimir is my all-time fave for League ships, and I like anything that stresses the fact that they're both terrible people. Vladimir's a literal serial killer, Talon's an edgelord assassin, can you imagine what sort of letters they'd write each other?! Post-historical recountings of Lord Vladimir and his lover are great too!
  
• Talon/Kayn - they're both poor kids from Noxus, but Kayn got drafted and Talon did. Something focusing on how they started off on such similar paths but ended up in such different places, how an Ionian offered Kayn more kindness than a Noxian did to Talon? Rhaast's POV on their relationship? And of course the whole thing where Kayn is a Noxian fighting for Ionia against Noxus, while Talon is an assassin who doesn't care a bit about patriotism, only about getting paid.
  
• Or, for a darker take, Zed and/or the Order of Shadows and/or Kayn find and subdue Talon when he's in Ionia. Time to show the Noxian invader his place.
  
• Talon/Darius - Darius is from outside Noxus, Talon is Noxian-born, but Darius is the patriot out of the two of them. Darius will give everything for Noxus and Talon will take everything that he wants for himself. Also Darius as a General and Talon as an assassin, but both of them starting off poor. Their slow fumble towards understanding each other?
  
• Talon/Draven - Draven's so showy and arrogant, Talon strikes from the shadows and vanishes from sight. A secret relationship, maybe? Draven writing about the events in the Awaken video? Draven bragging about all his admirers but confessing he misses Talon's acerbic comments on his flaws more?
  
• Talon/Ezreal - okay, so, Ezreal is so light-hearted and careless, and Talon's all serious edgelord. Give me Ezreal trying to lighten up Talon or amuse him and I will be happy! Or something where Ezreal's trying to talk Talon into adventuring with him, or Talon sniping at Ezreal about how Ezreal is just a thief, how's that more noble than being an assassin, etc.
  
• Talon/Swain - as dark as you can possibly make it, please! Anything with blackmail, coercion, command, etc. Swain is part demon, commands Noxus and Talon - Talon's just an assassin. A clever one, yes, but just an assassin. The power dynamics between them would be completely out of scale and I'd love to see a Talon who resents Swain as much as he admires him, and a Swain capable of walking that fine line between the two so Talon never quite slips out of his control.
  
• Or, to summarise that: "Jericho Swain can see the potential of an asset like Talon. First, however, he has to break the boy's will."

Prince of Stride Scenarios:

• Riku obviously admires his older brother so very much. Anything focused on that hero-worship, maybe the guilty moments that it turns to incestuous longing instead? Riku keeping track of Tomoe's career from afar?
  
• Tomoe starting but never sending replies to Riku's messages. Riku maybe sending him video messages and Tomoe using them guiltily for self-pleasure, far too ashamed to ever reply to them but hoping Riku never stops sending them?
  

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Scenarios:

• Garak knows that Bashir can't resist a good story. Especially one that might be true. He writes Bashir stories, missive by missive, making sure to never properly 'end' them. One story is true. None of the stories are true. All of the stories are true. The only part that's true is that Garak loves Bashir (still, always).
  
• MIRRORVERSE please I love Mirrorverse so much!
  
• Culture clash, wherein someone finally tells Bashir that Garak has been hitting on him SHAMELESSLY by Cardassian standards.
  
• Xenobiology anything! Cardassians loving heat waves while humans melt? Garak fascinated by Bashir having leg/arm hair and Bashir lasering it off?
  
• Garak getting jealous/aroused because Bashir is wearing a very low-cut top that shows off his collarbone and throat, but not sure if Bashir is doing it on purpose or not. I kinda love angsty thirst.
  
• Standard Bashir x Mirrorverse!Garak, wherein Garak can't quite resist trying to find out what his counterpart sees in this wretched human.
  

King's Avatar Scenarios:

• HST actually ditches the trash talk during a match, prompted by who knows what, and has incredible hand speed. Impossible to deal with. But will this be enough to beat YX? And if so, what are the consequences?
  
• Body swap! HST wakes up in YX's body, YX wakes up in HST's body. What do they make of this? How do they handle it? Do they tell anyone?
  
• HST was originally found in the game by Wei-Chan. What if YX had been playing with him on a smurf, thinking of scouting him for Excellent Era, before HST got stolen away?
  
• Anything to do with HST being mad at trees. You know why. XD
  
• The entire Blue Rain team is aware of HST's crush on YX and are making bets on how long it'll be before he actually confesses. Or just as cute, they're trying to help him out!
  
• YX and HST's relationship is exposed to the public! How do their teams react? What about other pro players? Or the fans? If you want to have some of the people being fine with the gay part but pitying whomever is dating Ye Xiu, that's totally fine! Just please no homophobic backlash or restricted to the 'villains' of the story (Liu Hao, Cui Li, Chen Yehai etc.)
  
• Absolutely anything to do with HST being forced to betray either YX or his captain in some way. Maybe having to choose between them if they're both in love with him?
  
• The only way to break YX's win streak is to destroy those hands of his. HST is the one to find him afterwards.
  

Yu-Gi-Oh Scenarios:

• Seto doesn't give anything for free. Ryuuji's used to paying but this price is higher than he expected.
  
• Sindin's aware of his son's growing crush on Seto Kaiba. He won't tolerate any competition for Ryuuji's loyalty so ensures that Seto will never, ever return Ryuuji's feelings by making his son break Ryuuji.
  
• Same scenario as above, just have Gozaburo Kaiba being the one breaking them apart.
  
• Ryuuji's a flirt who's been teasing Seto at every business meeting, every formal dinner, with no intention of carrying through. Seto doesn't give him a choice anymore.
  
• Seto and Ryuuji as exes who broke up because two traumatized boys don't actually work that well together, but Seto can't get over Ryuuji and Ryuuji's too fond of playing with fire.
  
• Ryuuji and Mai are alike on more than a superficial level. She's the one who drinks but Ryuuji picks up the habit from her far too quickly.
  
• Mai was the one who taught him to draw eyeliner over the scar on his face. Ryuuji loves her for being the first person to be kind to him.
  
• Mokuba's crushing hard on the only person he knows who can match Seto's intellect. He doesn't think it's a form of rebellion but a form of wishing - he looks at Ryuuji and sees who he can be. He doesn't see all the cracks underneath, no matter how Seto tries to warn him.
  
• Seto kidnaps Ryuuji to keep him from developing a relationship with Mokuba. He's expecting Stockholm Syndrome to set in but instead, he falls for Ryuuji who is not amused but is willing to manipulate the situation to his advantage.
  
• 8 billion people on the planet, and Seto and Ryuuji are the only two who can understand each other. That doesn't mean they like each other, but it does mean they need each other.
  
• My kingdom for a Pacific Rim AU with Seto+Ryuuji as Jaegar pilots. Or Mokie and Ryuuji, with Mokie playing matchmaker for Seto and Ryuuji.
  

AGAIN, all of those are completely optional! Just write me something dark and awful and I'll be happy.
