Dear Fic in a Box 2022 Creator

[anaisonfire]

Hello! 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 and medium requests.
Please note that 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 my requests, I just had more thoughts for some while writing (and sometime all I have to say about a request is “!!!!! please :DD”)!
Re: mediums, I know I’m asking for a lot (and I would love to get any of them!), but if you just want to write 10k of fic, please feel free to do so and ignore all opt-ins! Additionally, I’m aware some of the mediums might be hard to make with ships (which is a lot of what I’ve requested), so please don’t worry about whether something is ‘sufficiently shippy’; basically, as long as the ship doesn’t pointedly go “wow, we are such good friends, I love you platonically, bro”, it’s all good.
If you’re interested in some specific prompts, feel free to take a look at my past exchange letters here on DW, as I’ve requested some of these before.
Also, if anyone feels inspired to do extra treats, I very much welcome them!
That’s all! Happy creating! ✨

General

DNW:
- noncon/rape (dubcon is fine)
- a/b/o / omegaverse
- daddy/mommy kink
- pregnancy (references to canon events where necessary are okay)
- anything to do with kids as a focus including having them, being turned into one, etc.*
- underage sex (under 16)
- unrequited love
- cheating unless it’s canon
- parent/child incest
- permanent death of the requested characters unless it happens in canon (or they’re ghosts/undead of some kind)
- non-canon serious illness (e.g. cancer)
- first person POV (unless it’s something like epistolary fic)
- mundane AUs (coffee shop AU, college AU, etc.)

*If this seems like it’s contradicting my requests - i.e. large or important parts of the canon has the requested characters at an age where they can reasonably be called “kids”, or I explicitly prompt for something that needs a character to be a child - this does not apply.

Cyberpunk 2077

In general, I love exploring the world - corporations, corruption, the exploitation of the masses for personal greed, Arasaka vs Militech, the place of the mercs and fixers in NC, etc. But also, I love the dynamics between the characters, the push and pull of it. I’m partial to a V that’s actually into the whole go big or get dead deal that Night City is selling, even though he’s aware that it’s likely to kill him - though obviously, ymmv, so don’t feel obligated to lean into this if you don’t vibe with it. All lifepaths are cool, but I have a fondness for Corpo V. Likewise, (Don't Fear) The Reaper is my preferred ending, but regular The Sun is fine. Temperance is great 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!

Johnny Silverhand/Male V: I love the way they go from ‘can’t stand the sight of you, if I could I’d kill you’ to ‘would literally take a bullet for you and will die for you’ in, like, no time at all. I also love the banter they fall into right off the bat.

Kerry Eurodyne/Johnny Silverhand: I just love the long and messy history between Johnny and Kerry, and I’m especially partial to it having been some form of requited, though probably pretty messed up, and not just Kerry sadly pining away. In the flashbacks we see, all Kerry does is argue with Johnny, so I like to think they actually fought and were much more equal than Johnny implied when speaking to V. Johnny seems to have real issues with properly acknowledging that, yeah, he does care for Kerry, even though he went and found all that information about him while on that bender. Though I also feel like in 2077 Kerry is more hung up on the ideal of Johnny, rather than the actual person.

Kerry Eurodyne/Male V: Almost a strangers to lovers story, except for the part where one of them is possessed by the other’s ex old bandmate slash terrorist. Jokes aside, I really love the way the relationship happens in the game. Kerry goes from being stuck in his own head and basically using V as a Johnny-link to genuine appreciation of him and it’s really heartwarming. And I refuse to believe V didn’t have at least a tiny crush on Rock Legend Kerry Eurodyne at some point.

Kerry Eurodyne/Johnny Silverhand/Male V: Their dynamics as separate pairings always make me wonder what they’d be like all together, how they’d make it work, etc.

Solo: Johnny Silverhand: He’s such an asshole! I love him. I love how fired up he gets about his ideals and just how shit he is at interpersonal relationships (and that he eventually admits it, too!). I would love to see anything with him set at any point, from pre-Samurai times through the terrorism to the bitter future.

Solo: Kerry Eurodyne: He’s also an asshole, and I love him, but I feel like he’s an asshole in a way that’s slightly different. I love that when V/Johnny find him, he’s living in a trashed mansion, all lonely and about to give up, only to do a 180 when he realizes it’s Johnny. And I love that in the end he makes his peace with the past - or starts to, anyway.

WB: Any: As the name implies, any worldbuilding. To be honest, just go wild with this, I’m down for anything.

I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested!

Naruto

Ninjas! Powerful and sometimes ridiculous ninjas! :D
I love canon-divergence stuff from the Founders era, especially of the Izuna lives or Madara stays in/returns to the village variety. There’s just so much room for interesting things to happen and total freedom to do it since what we have of that time period is so scarce! I also love clans and early Konoha worldbuilding - the politics of it, the cohabitation, the 'how do we actually make this village thing work?', etc.

Haruno Sakura/Uchiha Madara: I’ve seen this pairing around a bunch and I’ve fallen in love with it. I love Sakura and just how out of place she’d be in the past, just by virtue of being herself. I think Madara would be inevitably drawn and interested in her, even if she tries to kill him for his future actions (especially then, I should say).

Hatake Kakashi/Uchiha Itachi: Two prodigies, one a friend-killer, the other the poster child for what happens when you push people too far… delicious dynamic. I would love to see an exploration of their time in ANBU or an AU where the Uchiha massacre doesn’t happen (or is prevented… perhaps with Kakashi’s help?). On the other hand, I’d also be very into a canon divergence or an Itachi lives AU, where they both have to deal with all that history, but still come together.

Hoshigaki Kisame/Uchiha Itachi: I absolutely loved everything we saw of them and I’m always wanting more. What’s their relationship like, between Itachi being such a massive liar/spy and Kisame having that whole thing about being told the truth? How long did it take for them to get closer, start trusting each other even a bit? Also: Kisame is a shark man. Thoughts on how that works? (I love sharp teeth.)

Senju Hashirama/Uchiha Madara: I love everything about these two. Madara yelling for Hashirama across a whole battlefield and later pouting refusing to fight when he gets a clone and not the real deal are things that live rent free in my mind. Also I love it when the popular perception (of civilians, other shinobi, whatever) is that of the two, Madara is scarier due to his… everything, but in reality, Hashirama is much more terrifying, despite - or because of - his idealism. (The flashback of what Hashirama says when “killing” Madara is *chef’s kiss*.) I also bet Madara is really into it.

Senju Tobirama/Uchiha Madara: Possibly the very definition of enemies to lovers. I feel like Izuna, whether he’s dead or only got away with a big wound from that fight, would be a big Thing™ between them, especially for Madara. I’d love them having to work together, in the village or on a mission, that by necessity brings them closer to understanding each other. Or some kind of “hate this guy, but he’s hot, so why not?” situation.

Solo: Team Minato: I just have so many emotions about them. Please give me anything. I’m down for angst (canon compliant or otherwise!), for canon divergence, for happy times… literally anything.

WB: Konohagakure Daily Administration: Self-explanatory :D.

Dreaming of Sunshine

This is just a delightful universe and I love Shikako. I also love other people reacting to Shikako, whenever she does anything Shikako-like and how unaware she is of her being extraordinary. Time traveling – anyone, not just Shikako – is always delightful, too. If you’d like to write recursive fic, feel free to do it! You can safely assume I’ve read anything in this fandom, but if you’d like to know which specific DoS fics I’ve liked, they’re all in my ao3 bookmarks. Just put “Dreaming of Sunshine” in the Search within results field to find them.

Dragon Age

I love this world, in all its slightly-miserable apocalyptic glory. I also like mages and magic, A Lot! I tend to go for the middle/sarcastic dialogue options. A bit more specifically, I like an Inquisitor who’s good at the politics part of being the Inquisitor - maybe he’s not a genius or anything, but he’s aware of what’s going on and can, to some degree, play the game.

Anders/Fenris: I love clashing personalities, enemies(almost but not actually)-to-lovers ships. I’m big into them eventually coming to view each other with mutual respect, even if they never see eye to eye on some things. Would love reluctant working together, “him? really? him?”, anything.

Dorian Pavus/Cullen Rutherford: Proud Tevinter mage and ex-Templar that’s not quite let go of the Templar mindset is an extremely iddy concept. Their chess playing (not an innuendo, unless you want it to be) in canon was a delightful surprise and I’d love to know how they got there. Any kind of exploration of their own backgrounds in relation to the other or what clashes that may result in between them is most welcome. Also I’m a-okay with references or dealings with Cullen’s lyrium addiction.

Dorian Pavus/Male Trevelyan: I’m gonna be honest, I’m mostly into mage!Trevelyan, but I’m also down for rogues and warriors. There are so many interesting possibilities no matter what! The differences between Tevinter and the South are fascinating to me. If mage!Trevelyan, them working magic together would be nice (interpret that literally or as innuendo at your will). I’d also be interested in an AU where the Inquisitor is someone else, but Trevelyan still joins the Inquisition and meets Dorian, and how that changes their relationship.

Fenris/Dorian Pavus: I would just love to know how this happens. At literally any point in their respective stories this would be fascinating.

Male Hawke/Cullen Rutherford: I’m very into a Cullen that’s kind of, mostly, been into women in his life so far, but then - oh, no, Hawke. I think both of them would be reluctant to start anything with the other given everything that’s happening in DA2, especially if Hawke’s an apostate (even more if Cullen knows he’s a mage. Though I am very into the idea of him not knowing and Hawke being conflicted about it.) Or maybe they meet up again in Skyhold and their mutual history brings them closer to each other?

Male Lavellan/Solas: I feel like Lavellan would be fascinated by just how strange Solas is - he knows so many things, he’s a brilliant mage, but he doesn’t act like a city elf and he’s obviously not Dalish. I liked the canon romance, but I would also be interested in a different getting together. And I’m pretty much always down for the Dread Wolf revelation to happen earlier - or for Lavellan to figure it out, somehow.

Solas/Dorian Pavus: Everything about these two together is extremely Relevant To My Interests. They’re both very good, very proud mages, but also very different. I think after a (very) rocky start they’d eventually settle in some kind of mutually respectful, antagonistic-but-in-a-mostly-friendly way relationship. I’d love to see Solas be somewhat conflicted about starting, well, anything with Dorian. On one hand - a talented mage and a pretty man, on the other - Tevinter. And if going with something post-Trespasser, how does Dorian feel about the whole Dread Wolf bit? (In the latter scenario, I’d be fine with them not being currently or on-page together. I’d just prefer to not have “we are never ever getting back together” explicitly spelled out; keeping it ambiguous is fine.) I’m also very okay with either a friends-with-benefits situation or them actually having a relationship.

Felix Alexius & Dorian Pavus: I loved the small glimpses of the relationship we saw, and I would love more! Anything that expands on their history would be great. Or an AU where Felix stays with the Inquisition, or gets recruited into the Grey Wardens?

Solo: Dorian Pavus: I just love him a lot. Pre-Inquisition shenanigans, expanding on what he was up to in Haven and Skyhold while not being dragged around by the Inquisitor, back in Tevinter… all would be great!

Solo: Vivienne: I would love just about anything with her in general, but I’ve always been interested in her pre-Inquisiton life. Rising in the Ostwick circle, being transferred to the Montsimmard Circle, getting involved in politics… I would also love to see what she got up to in Haven and Skyhold, because the game falls woefully short on doing anything interesting with her.

WB: Magic; WB: Skyhold: Go wild.

Han Joo Won/Lee Dong Sik: I just love these two nutjobs. Would love pretty much anything for them. Canon divergence, missing scenes, met earlier AUs, etc. Go wild!

Kang Min Jung & Lee Dong Sik: I love their relationship. I’d love to see them through the years of Dong Sik looking after/out for her. What would happen if she lived; if Dongsik had found her or called the police instead?

Kang Min Jung: I loved what we saw of her so, naturally, I want more. She says Jin Mook creeps her out; is this based purely on vibes or does she suspect something? How much is her party girl behavior a way to cope with living with him? What would she have done if she’d found out he’s the killer? What if she’d lived?

A Song of Ice and Fire

I’ve recently fallen in love with this universe (yeah, like a million years late, ha) and while I don’t have many specific thoughts, I would love anything you do with these requests. I love canon compliant and I love AUs, so go nuts.

Elia Martell/Lyanna Stark: There should just be more of this in the world. Whether you go canon events or some kind of AU meeting, I will love it. (I do like Rhaegar, but I understand if you’re not interested in being nice-ish to him.)

Oberyn Martell/Sansa Stark; Sansa Stark/Willas Tyrell; Theon Greyjoy/Sansa Stark; Tyrion Lannister/Sansa Stark: Grouping these, even though they’re very different ships, because the unifying thing I’d love out of any of these is Sansa in an interesting relationship with an interesting person. Do what you’d like and I’ll love it!

Jon Snow/Robb Stark; Theon Greyjoy/Jon Snow; Theon Greyjoy/Robb Stark; Theon Greyjoy/Jon Snow/Robb Stark: These are all a disaster in the making and I love it. The dynamics between them all are massively fucked up, even under the best circumstances, and that’s great. I would love any take on these!

Theon Greyjoy & Robb Stark: I’d love anything where they’re younger in Winterfell, how they came to be friends, the years before the series starts, etc. And also I’d be interested in canon divergence AUs of pretty much any kind that affect what happens to them.

Doran Martell & Elia Martell & Oberyn Martell; Doran Martell & Oberyn Martell; Elia Martell & Oberyn Martell: Putting these three together because I’m really interested in the sibling dynamics. Just… anything.

Solo: Elia Martell: We know so little about her, but that little makes her so fascinating. What was she like? What did she think about, well, anything that happened? I’d love an exploration of that. I’d also love to see what would happen if she’d lived or something else changed.

Solo: Sansa Stark: I just love her. I’d love anything where she gets to play the game of thrones and win - whatever that may look like.

I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested!

The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth

Any time period is fine, though I’m partial to the First Age, reincarnation in Valinor whenever (reembodiment; no adults as children/in child bodies please), during the dead’s time in Mandos. I also like exploring what happened with those who were left behind in Aman. I love the tragedy of the Noldor. Themes of loyalty and doom are especially delicious. Compliance with canon events (i.e. traumatic death) are absolutely okay. Go all out on the angst if you wish, this is the canon for it. Or you can focus on the happy/less horrible times, too! I’ll love it either way.
Also as a sort-of exception to my mundane AUs DNW - I don’t really consider things like “Elves through history” or “Maglor in modern times” one of those, and in fact really love both tropes, so please feel free to write them if you so wish! I can never have enough :D
Note on characterization: I prefer Elrond & Elros and Maglor & Maedhros to have (eventually) developed a genuine relationship where they care for the others - I’m okay with pretty much anything except ‘M&M were monsters’. And please, if she comes up, no Elwing bashing.
I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested! And go with whatever names you like, I just use the Sindarin versions here for ease.

Maedhros & Maglor: Their dynamic is so interesting to me! We have all these snapshots of them - Maedhros getting captured and leaving Maglor in charge who then does not go after him, the Elrond and Elros thing, Maglor wanting to go west at the end and Maedhros refusing, etc. - and they paint so many interesting pictures.

Curufin & Finrod: I’d love to know what their relationship is like at… any point, really, but I’d love to know what, if anything, they might say to each other after dying.

Celebrimbor & Finarfin; Celebrimbor & Fingolfin: I’m interested in Celebrimbor’s potential relationship with the other two sons of Finwë. Did Finarfin or Fingolfin have any particular relationship with child Celebrimbor? What did Celebrimbor and Finarfin think of each other when they met during the War of Wrath? How did Fingolfin and Finarfin react to Celebrimbor’s death? Are they close when they’re back alive?

Fingolfin & Maglor: I’d love to know what they were like when Maglor was ruling the Noldor while Maedhros was captured, or later. And, well, what if Maedhros really had been killed? Would Maglor have given up the crown?

Fëanor & Finarfin; Fëanor & Fingolfin; Finarfin & Fingolfin: These three are never not going to be fascinating. Literally anything about the brothers’ relationship to each other would make my day.

Indis/Míriel & Anairë & Eärwen: I would love to know what kind of relationship they’d have.

Indis/Míriel & Finarfin; Indis/Míriel & Fingolfin: What would Fingolfin and Finarfin do, faced with Indis/Míriel together? I can’t imagine either of them not having some opinion on Míriel, but would they have ever imagined this? How do they feel about Finwë being the one stuck in the Halls? Similarly, how do Indis and Míriel deal with them?

Solo: Finarfin: I love how he’s the one to turn back and yet, he’s the one there when Morgoth goes down. I bet he has a lot of thoughts about that. What was it like, caught up in Fëanor and Fingolfin’s fighting? Being the King who has to pick up the pieces at home? The one who eventually leaves to finish the fight he originally abandoned?

Solo: Fëanor: I just love this guy a lot. Just… anything with him, at any point. Go wild.
