chokolattejedi | Dear Krampus Letter 2021

Welcome and thank you, dear Krampus!

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!), 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
Feel free to treat my character matching as "or" not "and" — as long as one of my faves is there, I'll be happy!
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:

Request Fandom 1: Lucifer (TV)
Lucifer, Maze, Ella, Lucifer &/ Maze, Lucifer & Ella, Tribe, Lucifer & Linda, Candy & Lucifer, Tribe

I love Lucifer, and I love his girls! Feel free to write about any one of them, even those listed in groups! Gen is loved; please don't feel that you have to write ships. I'm going to talk about them as they relate to each other, however, for clarity.

Luce &/ Maze: Lucifer's wonderfully complex relationship with Maze is wonderful to explore. They are both such free spirits, and with that edge of darkness. Pre-canon? Canon divergence? Missing scene? I ship them, but also adore Gen. I love the scene where they're drowning fences for information, and the fight in the park where they just wail on each other.

Luce & Ella: I don't actually ship them, as I get more of a sibling vibe from them. I'd love an 'Ella finds out', or perhaps something following from the Azrael/blood in wood scenes? Ella being her goofy, adorkable self is something I never tire of.

Lucifer & Linda: I love poor put-upon Linda! Her face whenever Lucifer completely misses the point! Everything about her in the Candy couples therapy scene! (Shocker!) The way she lets loose around the Tribe (and just Chloe during the second Candy ep), but tries so hard to have barriers with the celestials (Not that kind of Doctor! No more sex with Luce! etc) Linda helping anyone else come to grips with the TRUTH is also fun. I just especially love her therapy scenes with Lucifer, and all the crossed wires. Missing scenes from the Reese episode also welcome.

Candy & Lucifer: I love Candy's character, especially the background scenes we get of how she and Luce fell into their plot. Anything set between or after her two episodes would be wonderful. Reconnecting with Luce and/or Ella after the second? I also love how she plays into the stereotypes people assume about her, and how she is perfectly willing to strike up a business deal with Luce despite the wholy dubious context. (OMG her face when she realizes Charlotte is his MOM!) Maybe a little wistfulness for what could never be with Luce?

Tribe: Love these girls hanging out together and/or supporting each other! What shenanigans do they get up to, either on a Tribe night, or on some other occasion? Ella has such a great reaction to Maze in the first one; I'd love to see more of them getting to know each other back then, when Ella didn't yet KNOW.

*For gen fill, background Deckerstar is fine, but please don't make it the focus. I have read lots of it, but these other requests are harder to find. :D

Request Fandom 2: Dead by Daylight
Oni &/or Spirit, Entity, Vigo, &/or Vigo!survivors

Oni &/or Spirit: Feel free to focus on either killer only, if you have a good idea for them. I love the fact that they gave us related killers, using the same weapon! I'd love something about them meeting in the Entity's realm for the first time. What must Oni have felt, to find out what his descendant had gone through? Has his family line now ended? Or, hijinks round the killer "campfire." How do they interact with the other killers**? Do they have secret family in jokes? Do they drive the others crazy?

Entity: I want more backstory/worldbuilding for this one. What are the Entity's origins? Why is it doing things this way? How does it pick people**? What does it gain? What is it's relationship with those who aren't caught in it's web, like Vigo? Does it ever interact with the killers after picking them? Several are also victims, like the survivors, but some really aren't. Do they hang with it and watch movies? Does it give out performance reviews? (Entity displeased). I'm fine with crack or 'crack treated seriously' here, like hellish bureaucracy, TPS reports, and movie night.

Vigo!Verse: So several survivors, like Claudette, Jake, Dwight, have these Vigo cosmetics. But the cosmetics kind of rebrand them: Vigo's Apprentice, Pupil, and Marauder? What on earth is this canonical AU? Do they help him experiment on the killers to make their blighted versions? Do those versions have their own memories, or are they like reincarnations? What is this world that Vigo lives in, where he has access to all of these folk? This AU fascinates me with it's possibilities.

**If you're looking for other killers/survivors to have cameo, my (non-requested) favorites are Huntress, Pyramid Head, and Meyers, and Feng, Kate, and Ash.

Request Fandom 3: The Addams Family (Movies - Sonnenfeld)
Morticia, Wednesday

I love both of these girls! Morticia has such an unusual outlook on life. She's a loving wife, a caring mother, she insists that Wednesday finish college, she has a great relationship with her mom, willing to work to support her family... she's like a 1950s housewife, except also the exact opposite! I'd love more juxtaposing her with other mothers or other women, like the glimpses we get with Margaret, Wednesday's teachers, and the temp agency gal.

Basically, I adore Wednesday. I love the way she plays deadly games with Pugsley. I love the way she delights in tormenting regular people, particularly small children. I love the way she crosses her arms over her chest to sleep. And I love her relationship with her little boyfriend and the potential they have to grow up to be the next Morticia and Gomez. To name a few. The way their threw her in with regular people in the second movie, and her little rebellion, was glorious. Any missing scene from that would be lovely. What about High school? What happens then?

I would also really love to see Wednesday and Morticia together! Something mother/daughter, fluffy in their creepy way, would be wonderful! Background Morticia/Gomez or Wednesday/Joel is fine.

o)(O)(o

Request Fandom 4: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buffy &-/-or Faith &-/-or Angelus

I love the juxtaposition of Angel and Angelus, and Faith's own battle with the dark side. Buffy's canon relationship with each of them is so tangled, and something equally dark and tangled would be lovely. That moment in season 3 where Faith thinks she's turned Angelus, and he's all into her, and they've chained up Buffy? Yum! Feel free to focus on any single, pair, or all three, either & or /. I love the dark humor, and sarcasm. Perhaps Angelus really did turn? Perhaps Faith was the first one in sunnydale and met Angelus the first time? Buffy goes dark, vamp!Buffy, and Buffy and/or Faith as toy (the way Angel was Vamp!Willow's kitty) are all good. Something dark and dub during Faith's 'bad' years? Buffy angsting over Faith's or Angelus's turn and the loss of her love? S7+ some demon brings that side out of Faith/Angelus again? This time Buffy is the dark one and the others are despairing? Dark and iddy and h/c light on the c are all wonderful.

o)(O)(o

Request Fandom 5: Carrie: The Musical - Gore/Pritchard/Cohen
Chris Hargensen /-or Billy Nolan, Carrie White &-or Sue Snell, Carrie White &-or Margaret White,

Chris/Billy: I love them together, or separate. "The World According to Chris" gives us a hint at Chris's backstory, and we know that all is not well. Bringing some complexity to this otherwise black and white villain, it really lends itself to exploring. The Chris/Billy relationship, especially in "Do Me a Favor" would also be fun to explore. "In" is also haunting, in relation to all of the teens.

Carrie: Carrie's songs are so painful and haunting, and you can't help but feel for her, murder and all. Anything set during the musical, or maybe somehow after? (Magical escape AU, anyone?). She has this amazing moment of coming into her own when she slams the windows shut; empowering and terrifying all at once. Is it possible for her to have a happy (gory, horrifying, murderous) ending? Maybe she embraces the dark side and becomes a villain?

Carrie & Margaret: I would be thrilled with either of these individually, or something about their relationship together. Mom is so extreme, but she also manages to be sympathetic in the musical. Especially in "I Remember," and to a certain extent "Eve Was Weak." I'd love to see more about them: introspection, backstory, canon divergence?

Carrie & Sue: Again, I also would love either of these ladies solo. Perhaps Sue fic set post-musical, or in that interview/interrogation? A Carrie lives AU? Sue having a chance to apologize?

o)(O)(o

Request Fandom 6: Supernatural
Dean &/ Sam, Dean & Sam & John

I really enjoyed the first two seasons the most, before all the trips to Hell and angels and possessions and whatnot. Just Sam and Dean (and maybe Sam/Dean) and the monster of the week, and maybe a bit of looking for John or encountering another mystery kid. I would just really love something along those lines. Pick any horror monster and have the early boys go up against it.

o)(O)(o

Request Fandom 7: Twisted Princesses - Jeftoon01
Any

Link to Pictures
I love the Jefftoon series, and I nominated all of my favorites. Any backstory you would like to give any of these paintings would be lovely. I don't have a lot to write here, other than "go for it!" but please don't think I don't love this fandom as much as the others. The pictures themselves just give such amazing little details, and everyone interprets them differently, and I'd love to see your interpretation!

o)(O)(o

Request Fandom 8: Zombie - Bad Wolves
Any

Link to Lyric Video
Again, I'm the nominator, and I intentionally left the characters blank, because I really want worldbuilding. I loved the original song as well, but the Bad Wolves cover adds a darker undertone, I feel. Maybe a dystopian or post-apoc AU? Set it in 2050 or 2118 or 3018? Freedom fighters? Zombies? Thrilling psychological horror? Is it all in their head? Or are the tanks and drones real? Who is being silenced and how? How are the children involved?
