e_k_braveman | Trick or Treat Exchange Letter (Reply)

Hi! This is a bit of a mess because I had to finish it in a rush, so I hope it's all understandable. If you're confused about something, don't be scared to email the mods to relay your questions. We're all here to have a fun time after all!

General DNWs:

Beastiality. Human/Anthro Creature type stuff is fine, anything involving an animal isn't;

Explicit smut. Suggestive stuff or fade-to-black is ok;

Pregnancy;

Fetishes related to bodily waste;

Ageplay/Infantilization Kink;

Boss/subordiante relationships;

Omegaverse;

Cheating/Infidelity;

Incest;

BDSM AU;

Harm to animals, children (under 13s) or beings who look like such. References to it happening in the past are ok.

Requested relationships/groups breaking up/falling apart;

Body horror from a character's POV. If A finds B's body scary, but B doesn't have an issue with it, that's ok; it's only a DNW if B is shown as suffering from it.

Major character death. This does not apply to characters coming back as undead (vampires, zombies, mummies, etc.) or just being brought back through magic.

General likes:

Missing scenes;

Canon divergence;

Redesigns, redraws, outfit swaps, etc.

Powerful evil women, esp if it leans into femdom;

Queer characters and relationships;

Supernatural creature AUs (witches, vampires, werewolves, etc.);

Whump or Hurt/whatever amount of comfort (even none). Some fandoms have more specific preferences tho, so please check those out.

Guro, depending on the fandom (please double check!)

W.I.T.C.H.
Very appropriate piece of media for this exchange, no? I'm not super picky about what I receive for this fandom, but here are some prompts to give you an idea of what I like:

Treats:

For art, I'm always down for panel redraws or character redesigns. I'm especially fond of Orube with kitty ears! I'd also really like a group photo of her with the girls, maybe at another Halloween party as it's in the spirit of both the comic and the exchange.

Future fic. I know this idea gets explored in canon, but I like to see different people's takes on it! Where do you see W.I.T.C.H. in 10 years? 20 years? How does Orube feel about Earth vs. about her home world after all these years?

Cedric Lives AU. This one is self-explanatory, I think. I have a preference for AUs in which they find a way to bring him back after his sacrifice, since that still leaves the impact of the sacrifice itself.

Elyon apologizing to and reconciling with Taranee about trapping her alone; the comic glosses over it and I think Taranee deserved better! But if there's some interaction

Tricks:

In terms of art, I think leaning into some of the horror aspects of the comic would be good. Cedric is a great candidate for this, as his snake-like form has always been pretty creepy. You can also draw an AU where the girls are actual witches or Orube is a werecat.

A fic about them encountering a particularly scary foe, maybe your favorite public domain monster, would be fun!

I'm also fine with shippy works or works that feature your favorite ship from this canon! I didn't nominate any because I'm not specifically looking for it, but if you want to include it, you have my blessing! Poly ships are welcome too!

Fandom-specific DNWs:

Violence more extreme than what we see in canon.

Hurt/no comfort

Tragic/sad ending

🎃 🎃 🎃
Deltarune
Proceed.

I love Snowgrave. It's my favorite route because I love being evil and causing angst. Anything that leans into the angsty aspects of it is amazing, but in particular I like Noelle being torn up inside about what she does in the route.

Another aspect I like is the conflict between Kris and the Red Soul/The Player. Leaning into the existential horror of the whole thing would also be great. Obviously, I'm totally down for an asshole or downright evil player.

I can see Kris and Noelle as both a platonic and romantic (toxic variety) relationship, so feel free to write whichever you prefer!

Fandom-specific DNWs:

Gore.

Kris using he/she pronouns.

🎃 🎃 🎃
Dramatical Murder

All the ships I'm requesting are in the context of the bad ends (I mean, some of them I also ship in the good routes, but we're talking about Tricks here ;3). My favorite aspect of the endings is Aoba's powerlessness and, where relevant, the gore. A work that leans into those aspects is my exact cup of tea!

As stated in the general likes, I like monster AUs, so having something like Virus and Trip as evil vampires or Ren as a deranged werewolf would be fun!

I'm also really interested in narratives about split identity or aspects of oneself manifesting as a different personality. So if you want to write something with Sly Blue and/or Desire, that's the kind of thing I'm looking for with them. On the topic of monster AUs, I could see a Jekyll & Hyde fusion with them!

🎃 🎃 🎃
Original Work

Human Bloodbag/Vampire Queen: I'm fine with either character being the POV character. What I enjoy about a relationship like this is the powerlessness of the bloodbag and the complete control the vampire queen has over their life. The vampire may not necessarily be sadistic, but I'm not about to complain if she is! Femdom FTW! I'd just like it if she had some affection for her bloodbag, even if it's twisted.

Adventurer/Demoness: An adventurer bites off more than they can chew when they accept a quest in a Demoness's lair. Maybe she ends up liking them and going "easy" on them, by merely toying with them rather than killing them. Maybe she makes all their worst nightmares come to life. Maybe she does something totally unexpected! Either way, I'd like to see the adventurer have a bit of a bad time with her.

Amateur Ghost Hunter(s)/Angry Ghost: I'm less picky about this prompt. Maybe it's just Scooby Doo shenanigans (but like, the ghost is a real ghost), maybe the hunter(s) help the ghost be less angry, or they try and fail leading to something more sinister happening. I just love a good clash between regular people and the supernatural, especially if a deeper connection with the entity is formed.

Lonely Little Girl & Possessed Doll: I always found possessed toys in horror media a bit sad, because something children love becomes a threat to them. So! What if there was a little child so lonely and in need of a friend that they settled even for a demonic toy. That may well be a bit sadder, but it's got the potential for more! A light approach would be for the doll to be healed by the child's love. A darker one could be the entity in the doll taking advantage of the girl's vulnerability and using her as part of its evil scheme. Either way, I prefer the girl be unhurt, but she can set the world on fire with the help of her new friend (or, "friend") if she wants!

🎃 🎃 🎃
Devil May Cry

V & Vergil, Urizen & V: Putting these under one bullet point because they have similar appeal to me. I like issues of identity being made literal in fiction. Maybe V still nags at the back of Vergil's mind, reminding him of his humanity. Maybe we can have an AU where Urizen is trying to destroy V to make sure Vergil's humanity can never return. Maybe it's all just a particularly existential night for Vergil and he has a nightmare about both entities. Either way, it's identity porn and I love seeing it!

Nero & V: I just think they needed more interactions really! It would be especially interesting to see an AU where Nero finds out Vergil is his father and that V is an aspect of him before they're able to merge together. How would he treat V then, knowing what he is?

Griffon & Shadow & V: My friends! ;~; I really loved the whole group dynamic they had. It's just very easy fluff that doesn't get too saccharine. You can also combine them with the Vergil & V relationship to get an even more complex exploration of identity, since they represent Vergil's nightmares to some extent.

Lady/Nico/Trish: I like women, especially if there's multiple of them and they kiss and stuff. I headcanon Lady/Trish as an established relationship, so I'd like to see them wooing Nico into being their third. Or maybe Nico unsubtly flirting with both of them until they turn the tables on her at the same time. But yea, Lady/Trish going from a couple to a throuple with Nico, that's what I'm into! I don't have any particular sexuality headcanons about them so whatever flavor of WLW works for you is fair game.

Everyman Hybrid

Tricks: Habit changed my brain chemistry in the best and worst ways, depending on who you ask. He's such a horrible little shit, I adore his screen presence. Anything about him doing horrible things to the rest of the EMH crew or torturing Evan in his own head is sure to be a great time!

Treats: An AU where the main crew get to be friends/a family would be soooo nice! Especially if Steph is featured, since she didn't get to appear in the finale. I'm also especially fond of Corenthal being a father figure, either to the EMH gang as kids or helping them navigate their horror show lives as adults.

🎃 🎃 🎃
Shining Nikki

I like the aspect of the game where the player is also a character the other characters talk to. You can get quite meta and existential with this, so that's definitely an aspect I would appreciate!

I looooove Lilith! I'd like to see more of her manipulations and mindfuckery via Nightbane and the Goddess of Desire. If Nikki or even the Player gets dragged into it, that's even better!

Another way to use Nightbane and the Goddess would be them manipulating Nikki by convincing her that joining them would be better for everyone in Miraland. Nikki succumbing to her darkest desires! Woo! I'd especially love to see Leonid's reaction to this happening, maybe even a confrontation between him and Dark!Nikki.

I also just really like Caprico in a "wow, what a weirdo! (affectionate)" way. I think there's a lot of potential for cyberpunk body horror with him and in general, I'd like to see him be a bit more creepy.

Fandom-specific DNWs:

Violence more extreme than what we see in canon. Uncensored suits count as canon ;3

Hurt/no comfort

🎃 🎃 🎃
Love Nikki

Peachy, Morrison, Nikki: Ah yes, the demon doctor and his nurse. Love those guys and their suits! A creepy story centering around Clinic No.6 would be perfect for the season. If it involves Nikki having a bad time, even better, because I love seeing my faves get whumped. :3c

Chloris, Cesare: These two!! The angst of it all! Anything going deeper into their relationship is of interest, but I do also adore the evil twin trope, so if you want to make a Trick that leans on that aspect, I'd love to see it!

Helsin, Evelyn: The relationship is soooo awful, I love it! I love the whumpiness and I love an unrepentantly awful yet hot woman! Whump, suffering, blood, moon! I love it all!

You can also just have any combination of characters you want! The above are just my ideas and what interests me about the characters; if you want to do something else with them, go for it!
