chokolattejedi | Dear Heart Attack Writer 2021 (Reply)

Welcome and thank you, HA Writer! Aahh! We only have 2 weeks!

Things I love, in general:

Tropes: aliens made us do it, cooking, dress uniforms/suiting up, glasses (and/or glasses!kink), goddesses/gods, goth or punk AUs
Archetypes: antisocial geniuses, boys in eyeliner, chaotic neutral or similar characters, double agents, found families, geeks and geekery, spies, spunky chicks, team-as-family, tomboys, tough-on-the-outside bishies, tricks and tricksters
Animals: animal sidekicks/pets, dragons, kitties, being adopted by the pet/familiar in question, other mythological creatures
Dark: angst, apocalypses, bittersweet endings, blood, dark themes, death, dub-con, dystopias, evil cliffhanger endings, hurt/comfort, illness, insanity, unhappy endings, whump
Light: comedy, fluff, happy endings, hijinks, shenanigans, shiny things, snark, sneaking, sparkly things, squee
Queers: bi- or pansexuality, drag queens, established pairs bringing in a mutual third, OT3s, rainbow representation in all forms
Relationships: gen, femslash, slash, het, multi
Style: drabbles, drabble series, episoliary, IF, meta, ploty things, random little life/death snippets, worldbuilding

Things I DNW, in general:

Subjects: animal cruelty, bashing requested characters, dentistry (seriously, no teeth pulling, dentist visits, those drill noises, none of it! I realize that Hermione's parents are dentists, and that's fine, just don't talk about their jobs in detail, please), infidelity
Kink: coprophilia/watersports/focus on bodily waste, A/B/O, explicit sex scenes/pwp, non-con
Real Life: COVID, current events, glorified gay bashing, issuefic,** politics (fictional fantasy world political intrigue is fine as long as it doesn't mirror the US dumpster fire I'm living in)
Style: 2nd Person POV, reader insert

** "issuefic" has a variety of meanings. My meaning: a story where the fact that something could be an issue is the focus. For example, if I ask for slash A/B, and they are in the military, a story about how they can't be out as gay because military - that's issuefic. If chara C is ace, a story about how her mother thinks that ace is a made up thing, or that gays should burn in hell - that's issuefic. They can be gay and fix the spaceship! Or they can be ace and win the spelling bee! Just, I don't want the story to be about how *whatever* is problematic or hard or dangerous in the wider sociopolitical context. I have real life for that. I hope that makes sense, and if you have any questions, please feel free to have the mods ask me for clarification.

Other things, in general:

For canons where we know the characters as children, please age them to at least 14 before putting them in sexual relationships
Generic potential spoiler warning for any and all canons that follow

The above may or may not apply to any of my current requests, which I'll detail now in no particular order:

o)(O)(o
o)(O)(o

Request Fandom 1: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Harry Potter / or & Hermione Granger

Request:
I'm here for golden duo-fic all day long. That super co-dependent way they get towards the end... discovering that they can't really live apart after the war? Soulmate bond? Alternatively, give me competent besties/maybe more Hermione/Harry earlier in the series. I'm down for all kinds of time travel fix its and canon divergences here.

More Details:
They both go through so much shit at Hogwarts, with bullying to varying degrees, and all the danger. I just want them to be happy. Ideally together. Competence kink for days, here. I also love getting together fics (especially when Harry is too oblivious/messed up by the Dursleys/other to realize he's being pursued), and Hermione realizing what a bad home Privet Drive is and rescuing Harry for good. Whump and h/c are also aces.

Manipulative and/or evil Dumbledore is great, though I'm also down for 'oblivious to human nature re: the Dursleys and all the bullying at Hogwarts' Dumbledore. I love the trope of Neville being the one person Hermione hung out around at the beginning of first year, before Harry noticed her, and also of the Harry & Neville as godbrothers trope. So feel free to handwave away Ron and have a different golden trio. (Ron and/or Ginny bashing is A-ok, but feel free to also just ignore them).

Request Fandom 2: Tortall - Tamora Pierce
Alianne Cooper / or & Dovasary Balitang & or Kyprioth

Request:
I would love anything set after the books. Dove being queen, Aly being spymaster, Kyprioth interfering in either of those two jobs, Kyprioth making another wager with/assignment for Aly… or whatever you can think of.

More Details:
I love Aly's love of life and the pleasure she gets from doing spy things. Her depth of knowledge and sneaky ways are very impressive. Her way of living with one finger stuck in everyone else's business while seeming to be nowhere near them is great as well.And her personality in general I just adore.

I love how calculating Dove is; she thinks before she speaks and she always wants to learn more about everything. The loyalty/friendship/potentially love between her and Aly is fabulous to watch as it develops. I also love the differences between her and Sarai, and how the Raka have to get used to her. As a bookworm myself, her quieter personality, and the way various people interpret it, really hit home with me.

Kyprioth as a trickster is love, but there is also this intense dark side to him. The years of pain, the insane anger, the Godly power... all the things he masks, but which pop out on occasion. He's so complex! And at the same time such a ham! I love his relationship with Aly and his elder statesman persona.

Request Fandom 3: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Tony Stark / or & James "Bucky" Barnes

Request:
I'd love something that fixes Civil War, either with time travel, or wiser Tony, or him running into Bucky earlier, or what have you. I'm team Iron Man all the way. Steve can be as evil as you like or as misguided as you like or Sir Not Appearing in this Fic if you'd like. I love the dichotomy of Bucky and the Winter Soldier, and playing with them as distinct personalities or as a persona that Bucky can adopt or what have you is all good. I do love fics where, if Winter is distinct, Tony loves him too, not just tolerates him to have Bucky. Whump, angst, or h/c: emotional fall out from their pasts? hurt during a mission? lab accident? other?

More Details:
Once again, time travel fix it and canon divergence are both excellent here. I do love some post-Civil War anti-Rogues Tony/Bucky meet cute and/or rescue, but feel free to put them together anytime. If you want to go pre-Iron Man, I'm a sucker for 'Winter is sent to kill Tony but doesn't for reasons'. Adjacently, Protective!Bucky. Feel free to trope it up!

As I mentioned, I love h/c, and I love the trope that 'Tony has a papercut and acts like the world is ending but hides massive bruising because that's how he is?' Whump is great, hurt on a mission is great, and so is patching each other up. Other tropes I love are 'Tony hid his identiy as Iron Man and that house of cards is about to tumble down because Bucky is to damn observant', 'accidentally falling in love while working on the arm', and 'Tony -- and by extension Bucky -- treat the bots/JARVIS like his kids'. Tony being his BAMF genius engineer self would be great too. JARVIS and the Bots are totally welcome to include!

Feel free to include other non-rogues, like Rhodey, Hope, Strange, Peter, Carol, Bruce, Thor, etc. Neutralish Clint and/or Scott who've realized the error of their ways or returned to house arrest or what have you are fine. Please no Steve/Bucky, even in the past. Past Tony/Pepper is fine, and Pepper can be an ally, friend, distant acquaintance, co-conspirator, or Lady Not Appearing in this Fic; whatever floats your boat. Please no Wanda as good guy. She doesn't have to be an antagonist (but she certainly can be! Mind manip, anyone?), and she can be offscreen. Vision is fine as long as his whole character trait isn't pining after Wanda.

Request Fandom 4: Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys [SAFETY]
[Any]
Fun Ghoul & Jet Star & Kobra Kid & Party Poison
Fun Ghoul & Jet Star & Kobra Kid & Motorbaby & Party Poison
Korse/Party Poison
Worldbuilding & None
Motorbaby | Grace & Killjoys
Korse & Party Poison
Korse & Killjoys

God how I love this album! I'd love some world-building here. Flesh out the Killjoy universe for me a bit. I'd love a take on the Korse/Poison backstory (ship or gen (or enemies to lovers? or lovers to enemies?) ;), or how any of the gang came to be in the zones. How did the gang end up with Motorbaby? Hijinks. What about that moment, between Motorbaby and Poison when he’s rescuing her, and he makes that face? Anything with Grace/Motorbaby, really. Basically just go wild and have fun with it. :D

More Details:
I love found family and team fic with the gang, love the inclusion of Motorbaby, and would love something focused on her individual relationships with the Killjoys and/or the group as a whole. Something after Sing, when she's on her own, would be cool. Something pre-canon with the boys would be great too. Korse and Party Poison have great potential for Lovers to Enemies, and the worldbuilding as a whole would be aces. I headcanon that the Draculoids might be former Killjoys (mostly for that angst punch when Poison rips off that one's mask in Sing) which you can use or totally ignore. :D Worldbuilding of any kind would be aces!

I've read the comics, but prefer the original boys to the new gang. And I do love and adore the world of Ask Poison and it has been largely incorporated into my headcanon, so you can play with that too if you'd like. (But by no means do I consider it necessary for you to do so).

SAFETY: I nominated this as a safety fandom, but I would still be thrilled with fic for it. Danger Days is a concept album by My Chemical Romance (lyrics). There are 2 music videos (Na Na Na and Sing) set within the world. As I mentioned above, there is also a Comic series, but you can feel free to ignore that, especially if jumping in as a safety, as the original canon was just the album/videos. Ask Poison, which I referenced above, was an "Ask"-style rp tumblr for Poison. Not canon, but fun worldbuilding.

Request Fandom 5: Offworld by Celldweller (Album) [SAFETY]
[Any]
Male Machine/Female Machine
Male Machine & Worldbuilding
Male Machine & Female Machine & Worldbuilding
Female Machine & Worldbuilding
Earthling & Worldbuilding
Earthling & None
Worldbuilding & None
Earthling & Machines
Earthling & Doctor & Worldbuilding
Earthling & Doctor

Request:
I would love something exploring the machine world. What is this Salvation Code? Was it written the way the machine is interpreting it; to have a girlfriend? Or was it more like a preventative measure of ensuring robots had a keeper so they wouldn't go off the rails? What kind of world has he awakened into? Why is he alone? Is this some post-apoc Earth the humans have abandoned? Has he been sent as a forward scout somewhere like Pluto? Is he actually surrounded by people and non-awake machines but he doesn't see them as real? Build away?

Alternatively, the Earthling groupings. We don't specifically know if they're human, but I kind of assume they are. But that's up to you - maybe they aren't? Or some aren't? Are we in a world where we have met aliens and they are also on Earth? Maybe. As for the Earthling, why is it his last night on Earth? Where is he going and why? Why was he seeing a Doctor and a Sister(/nun/nurse)? Is he a standard astronaut prepping for flight and that's why he saw the doc? Or is there something more at stake? Again, build away!

And feel free to combine both character sets, like have the earthlings interacting with the machines? Is the Doctor the one who made the machines or wrote the Salvation Code? Maybe!

SAFETY: I also nominated this as a safety fandom, but again, I would be thrilled with fic for it. :D I made a promo post for it on the com last year. This one is a single album with no videos.
