Dear Trick or Treat 2021 Creator

[anaisonfire]

Hello, creator! So exciting to have you here.
In the first section below I’ve listed my DNWs and general likes, and in the second the specific fandom requests and some basic preferences.
The latter are, of course, purely optional. I’ve included them as a way to show you a general direction of where my taste runs. Also, how much I have to say about a fandom/character/ship isn’t indicative of how much I want it - I’d be equally happy to receive a gift for any of the requests. I’m easy to please, I promise!
That’s all! Happy creating! 🎃

Cyberpunk 2077

All requests:
V
Johnny Silverhand
Johnny Silverhand/Male V
Kerry Eurodyne/Male V
Kerry Eurodyne/Johnny Silverhand
Kerry Eurodyne/Johnny Silverhand/Male V
Male V/Yorinobu Arasaka
Delamain/Male V
Johnny Silverhand & Jackie Welles
Mr. Brightman & Nibbles

I’d love just about anything that’s focused on V and/or Johnny, so, like, do what your heart desires.
I like Kerry noticing the way Johnny's personality bleeds through in V, V not being allowed to brush off people when they bring up the side effects of the Relic, the long and messy history between Johnny and Kerry, the inherent messed-upness of Johnny overwriting V/V being overwritten and them still being friends/more than friends. As for Yorinobu/V, I just think it would be neat to see it happen - Yorinobu’s a fascinating character, with his dual Big Bad CEO and apparent anti-Arasaka rebel vibe - especially with Corpo V who’s canon-implied to have a history of sleeping with his boss(es). Del/V is simply delightful, and I’d love to see any take on it, AU or not. Jackie & Johnny just present so many interesting character moments, hah. And I think Mr. Brightman & Nibbles is just great - are they on a kitty play date, having a random encounter, are they sworn enemies, or something else? :D
In terms of V customization, I tend to go for Corpo V but all lifepaths are cool. Likewise, (Don't Fear) The Reaper is my preferred ending, but regular The Sun is fine. Temperance is fine as well (that good, good angst!). Feel free to pull out the 'and then they miraculously found Johnny's body and V was no longer being erased’ card, too.
I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested.

Dragon Age

All requests:
Dorian Pavus
Anders
Solas
Male Hawke
Male Trevelyan
Dorian Pavus/Male Trevelyan
Iron Bull/Dorian Pavus
Anders/Fenris
Corypheus

Clearly, I like magic and mages a lot, lol, so exploring or including that in any way is a sure way to go. (I also prefer mage Hawke and mage Inquisitor, though other classes are perfectly fine too!) For Dorian/mage!Trevelyan I like the differences in culture/upbringing between Tevinter and the Southern Circles. For Iron Bull/Dorian their clashing views on magic are just fascinating. For Anders/Fenris I’m big into them eventually coming to view each other with mutual respect, even though they start off hostile af. For Corypheus specifically, I think a more horror/supernatural thing would work really well, given his everything.
I realize the above makes it sound like I want magic or nothing, but that’s just where my brain went writing this - I’d be perfectly happy if you didn’t make magic the focus at all, either! Also, I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested.

Mass Effect

All requests:
Male Shepard
Kaidan Alenko/Male Shepard
Male Shepard/Garrus Vakarian
Kaidan Alenko/Garrus Vakarian
Male Shepard & Any Squadmates
Hannah Shepard & Male Shepard

Look, Shep is just the best. Default Shepard, custom Shepard, Paragon or Renegade or some combination… whatever you do with him, I’ll love it. Though I will admit to a weakness for a Ruthless notoriety + more Paragon-inclined choices, heh.
I like the way Kaidan doesn't actively need Shep the way other crew/LI do and is willing to stick to his guns/morals, and I like the role reversal thing they do in ME3, where Kaidan is all “You did what you had to” re: Cerberus, and Shepard is now the one questioning things. I like the way Garrus holds Shep's opinion/views in such a high esteem that he goes along with them even when it's not what he set out to do and seeks out Shep's approval even though he doesn't actually need it. The dynamic of Garrus ‘red tape is literally killing me’ Vakarian and Kaidan ‘cutting corners gets people killed’ Alenko is absolutely amazing, that’s all I can say.
I absolutely love the friendships Shep has with each and every of the Normandy crew and I’d love to see more of it - if you’ve got a fave or someone who you think needs more spotlight, or if you want to do an ensemble thing, go right on ahead! :D And just like… imagine being related to Commander Shepard - worse, being his mom? Poor woman, lmao - especially the further into the trilogy we get!
I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested.

SWTOR

All requests:
Sith Inquisitor | Force Walker
Male Imperial Agent | Cipher Nine
Male Sith Warrior/Theron Shan

Fandom-specific DNW:
- any different setting AUs at all

This is probably the part of my sign up that most easily lends itself to supernatural and spooky things, just by virtue of canon, lol. Inquisitor because ghosts. Agent because literally everything about the Castellan restraints.
I love Theron being confused and turned on by the attention the Warrior’s paying him, not trusting any of it but going with whatever's happening anyway.
I prefer Chiss agents and Pureblood Sith warriors, if that comes up (other species are also fine!). Also I like my Empire characters light sided. Even better if Cipher Nine ended up turning coat and siding with the Republic at the end of the class story, I live for that irony.
I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested!
