Dear Chocolatier 2020

[desertvixen]

My general preferences on fanfic are here.

You can check out the "dear writer" tag for more!

Be warned, my requests for Crossover Fandoms include spoilers for TROS.

The requests:

Fairy Tail

Levy McGarden/Gajeel Redfox & Pantherlily (Fairy Tail), Levy McGarden/Gajeel Redfox (Fairy Tail), Juvia Lockser & Gajeel Redfox (Fairy Tail), Cana Alberona/Laxus Dreyar (Fairy Tail) Gray Fullbuster/Juvia Lockser (Fairy Tail), Laxus Dreyar/Mirajane Strauss

I'm a total Gale/Gajevy shipper and would love something sweet and/or sexy.

I love the dynamic Juvia and Gajeel have.

Gray and Juvia are pretty entertaining together. I'd love something sexy or sweet with them.

PLEASE feel free to combine the two couples or have Gajeel "encourage" Gray to treat Juvia right.

Cana and Laxus I see as a total fling/stress relief. Down and dirty.

Laxus/Mira - sweet or sexy, and I'm totally down for getting together on the downlow

I love the dynamic Levy and Gajeel have with each other, especially when she has to say his name in the warning tone.  I also love how Juvia and Gajeel have a bond (being ex-Phantom), and I’m totally down with something that combines the two.  Or Levy and Juvia having some bonding time.  And Pantherlily!  I love him, especially when he’s making sure no one bothers them.  I’m also a total fan of Rusky Boz’s artwork for this couple.

Gray/Juvia – I prefer when he’s not poking fun at her, but sometimes Juvia is a little over the top.

Cana/Laxus I see as total one-night-stand, mission celebration, drank too much but a good time had by both parties.  Especially now that it’s known she is a second-gen Guild member.

Laxus and Mira make an excellent power couple, and I think they complement each other well.  I also see them hiding it, and it backfiring, because Mira is always in everyone’s business.  (If you somehow want to riff off Elf/Ever for this pair, who I did not nominate, GO RIGHT AHEAD.)

If you want to do something AU, either the S-Class or GMG arcs are good.  But I’m totally in for romantic sweet FLUFF.

 

Ouran High School Host Club - All Media Types 

Fujioka Haruhi/Ootori Kyouya (Ouran)

I find them an intriguing pair. Kyouya is so cool, but Haruhi wasn't born yesterday. If you've watched the bloopers for the anime series, I love the ones from the ball at the end between them. (Now here's the best!)

I'm cool if you assume they are in a trio relationship with Tamaki but focus on them together.

While obviously the anime puts Tamaki and Haruhi together, I feel like these two would also make an excellent couple. If you wanted to riff off the bloopers mentioned above, PLEASE FEEL FREE.  Don’t let me stop you!  They both have that analytical streak that I really enjoy, and I think Haruhi is smart enough to figure and outfigure him.

Ancient Greek Religion & Lore 

Cassandra & Persephone (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore) (STAY PUT)

I think the obvious would be after Cassandra's death. Let Persephone put her at ease.

I have a major soft spot for Cassandra (even named my daughter after her) and just want to see someone actually take care of her.

I’d also be down for some crossovers, given the STAY PUT tag.

 

A Civil Contract - Georgette Heyer 

Timothy Beamish/Lydia Deveril (A Civil Contract), Lydia Deveril & Julia Oversley (A Civil Contract)

I love Lydia. Her experience in the Season (feel free to push this one off a few years) and would love to see her take on and take down Julia Oversley.

Since Fandom Stocking could not run this year, I missed my Heyer fix!  Maybe you can help me out.

I really love Lydia.  I wish Heyer had given her a novel although it would probably be something like the Grand Sophy.  She’s spunky and concerned and I can easily see her putting Julia in her place.  Feel free to crossover with any of the other Heyers in this letter, or Cotillion.  Lydia v Tiffany Wield?

 

The Nonesuch - Georgette Heyer 

Mrs. Underwood & Tiffany Wield (The Nonesuch), Patience Chartley/Julian Lord Lindeth (The Nonesuch)

Patience/Julian after the novel, perhaps in her first season.

Tiffany being her usual self, possibly in London.

Feel free to make both interact.

Speaking of Tiffany… I really dislike her and love seeing her put in her place.  Feel free to crossover!  I like seeing Patience come out on top.

 

The Toll-Gate - Georgette Heyer 

John Staple/Nell Stornaway (The Toll-Gate), Nell Stornaway & Lady Fanny Lichfield (The Toll-Gate), Mrs. Staple & Nell Stornaway (The Toll-Gate)

I had this for my Yuletide assignment, and remembered how much I love all of them.

I'd love to see Nell and John being themselves, together. Or Nell interacting with her new in-laws.

Yes, more Heyer!  I love the Staples, and imagine Mrs. Staple is quite welcoming, although I think Fanny will have a little trouble.  Crossovers welcome!

Dungeons and Dragons (Cartoon) 

Eric "the Cavalier"/Sheila "the Thief" (Dungeons and Dragons), Presto "the Magician"/Varla (Dungeons and Dragons)

I love both of these pairs. Feel free to combine! Return to the Realm stories rock.

Pretty much this.  I picked up an Eric/Sheila pinch hit 9 Yuletides ago and fell into it wholeheartedly.  Prefer not to have too much fun picked at Eric.

I really want to see a story where Presto and Varla (older, I think) get together.  She may need rescuing again.  I love Return to the Realm, either temporarily or forever.

 

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe 

Marlena/Randor (He-Man...), Marlena & Man-at-Arms (He-Man...), He-Man | Adam & Marlena (He-Man ...), He-Man | Adam & Man-At-Arms (He-Man...)

One of the fandoms of my heart.

Marlena/Randor being sexy or sweet.

I'd love to see the relationship between Marlena and Man-at-Arms, especially if she's trying to figure out who else knows Adam's secret. Or Man-at-Arms mentoring Adam, or helping him deal with his father's disapproval of his facade. Feel free to combine these two.

This.  Just the sound of the Filmation opening used to send me running to the living room, and I still enjoy it today.  Adam has a lot of nuance, and Marlena is a badass, but I love the Rainbow Warrior episode where Adam realizes that she knows.  How does this affect things going forward?  (I’ve also enjoyed a fanfic where Adam asks his mother how she could possibly realize it, and her remark is essentially “comic books, let me introduce you.”)

Even though Randor is hard on his son, I enjoy his vibe with Marlena.

And Man-at-Arms might enjoy knowing that someone else knows the secret – but maybe not like that it is his queen.

 

Original Work 

 (Minor) God/Their Favored Human (Original Work)

Cat-Loving Woman Allergic To Cats & Catlike Dragon (Original Work)

Crown Princess Who Was A Starving Writer In Her Former Life/Faraway King Who's A Fan Of Her Books

Explorer/Forgotten Deity of a Long Lost Shrine (Original Work)

See letter.

The deity ones, would prefer goddesses and male humans.

Cat-like dragon - I think this would be great.

Crown princess/faraway king - I just want this.

Minor god – Maybe the goddess of cats?  Does the human even realize they exist?

Catlike dragon – I’m totally down for a tiny purring dragon.  Or maybe it’s tiger-sized? Does it shed scales all over the place?  Is it like a Siamese cat?

Crown Princess – What does she write?  I like the idea of them being mystery books, or her doing one set in her new life.

Explorer/Forgotten Deity – he hasn’t forgotten her.  Maybe the world has, but he hasn’t.  I’m down with him being an obsessed searcher.

Crossover Fandom 

Diana (Wonder Woman) & Maria Hill (MCU), Diana Prince (DCEU)/Thor (MCU), James "Bucky" Barnes (MCU)/Diana Prince (DCEU)

Hercule Poirot (Poirot) & Nancy Drew (Nancy Drew - Carolyn Keene)

Jane Marple (Marple) & Ariadne Oliver (Poirot)

Jenny Chawleigh (A Civil Contract) & Nell Stornaway (The Toll-Gate), Jenny Chawleigh (A Civil Contract) & Ancilla Trent (Nonesuch), Patience Chartley (Nonesuch) & Jenny Chawleigh (A Civil Contract), Nell Stornaway (Toll-Gate) & Anthea Darracott (Unknown Ajax)  

Jyn Erso (Rogue One) & Wedge Antilles (Star Wars), Mara Jade (Star Wars Legends) & Rey's Father/Rey's Mother (Star Wars ST), Obi-Wan Kenobi (SWOT) & Rey (SWST)Fanfiction

Diana & Maria - they both have that Wendy stuck with the Lost Boys vibe to me

Diana/Thor - This just intrigues me.

Bucky/Diana - I've recieved a couple really good ones for this, kind of prefer pre-WS Bucky

Poirot & Nancy Drew - I just want to see them together.

Jane Marple & Ariadne Oliver - Perhaps Ariadne takes a little trip to the country for inspiration.

Jenny & Nell or Jenny & Ancilla or Jenny & Patience or Nell & Anthea - here for the Heyer crossovers!

Jyn & Wedge - This could be good.

Mara Jade & Rey's parents - I have thoughts about this, see the letter.

Obi-Wan & Rey - I have thoughts, see the letter.

 

Crossover time!  I love crossovers.

Diana & Maria would be really interesting together, I think.  Comparing notes?

Diana/Thor – neither of them is a normal human, how does this impact their interactions with each other and their teams?  Do the inhabitants of Themiscyra know about Asgard and vice versa? I’d be okay with gen as well.

Bucky/Diana – I’ve seen some really good ones on this, but I’d love pre-train fall Bucky and Diana to meet.  (What is she doing during WW2 anyway?) Light, sexy, stress relie

Poirot & Nancy Drew meet.  Is she in London or is he in River Heights?  How do they mesh?  Feel free to bring in 1930s original Nancy.

Jane & Ariadne – I think this could be really fun.  Ariadne often remarks about feminine intuition, and Jane has the ear of Sir Henry.  And they could both be practical.

Jyn & Wedge – Make it an AU where she and some of the team live?  Or make it an introspection on Rogue One by the most famous Rogue of all.  Maybe they met before?

Mara Jade & Rey’s parents – So, this could be so good.  Maybe Mara gets sent to hunt them down in her role as Hand of the Emperor?  Maybe she turns to their side?  Maybe she dies alongside them?  Maybe Mara finally finds Rey?  This would get her into the world!  Also, I would prefer if Rey’s mom is the Palpatine.

Obi-Wan & Rey – So until the last movie, I was totally down for the Rey is really a Kenobi theory, and would love if you wrote this in that vein.  I’m good with the message that the Force is for everyone (and that more people are Force-sensitive than they realize) but I’m also a total sucker for sweeping family sagas. 

Yes, I know the Prequels established the whole no attachments thing but I’ll be honest and say: I think that’s totally dumb.  I am not a fan of the Prequels, despite Ewan McGregor.  Does his Force Ghost visit her?  It’s a wide open field.  Maybe she’s drawn to his hut on Tatooine?  Please, however, avoid Kylo/Rey.  I’m not into it.
