D.P. | Deserter Pursuit (TV)
Characters: An Jun Ho, Han Ho Yeol
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)
I felt like they had a lot of chemistry, whether you take it as bromance or romance. Just them being bros and maybe casefic (not necessarily something elaborate) would be great. Something with them flirting/getting together/hooking up would also be great. Just please don't pair them with other people in the fic.

I love these three as a trio in general and as an OT3. They just all seem to have such love and devotion for each other.
If you do go the romantic route, please keep the fic T or below if it takes place when they’re in high school. After the time skip any rating is great!

Aveyond (Video Games)
Characters: Te'ijal Ravenfoot
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)
I have a headcanon that Te'ijal Ravenfoot is a psychopath. I would love a story that explored this concept further, delving into how Te'ijal's psychopathy would affect/recontextualize both her interactions with her colleagues and her actions throughout the Aveyond games. Furthermore, content that supplements those already in the Aveyond games, such as extra conversations or scenes, would also be welcome.
DNW: Unrequested kinks, mundane/setting change AUs, Te'ijal being "cured" of her psychopathy (i.e. being made neurotypical), Te’ijal character bashing*, neurodivergence being used to excuse bad behavior**.
*Given the stigma surrounding psychopathy, I understand if there is any confusion over this specific DNW. Let me make this clear: psychopaths are still people; having little or no empathy or emotional intelligence does not make one categorically evil or dangerous. For the purposes of this prompt, Te’ijal should be a person with both rights and accountability.
**Using neurodivergence to excuse bad behavior sounds something like this: “She can’t take responsibility for her actions because she can’t control herself/she doesn’t know what she’s doing/her brain isn’t wired correctly/etc.”
On a related note, I am fine with the inclusion of sanist language, bigotry, and/or violence as long as it is not presented as ethically/morally correct by the story itself. Keep in mind that hostility towards a neurodivergent offender in retaliation to the offender perpetrating antisocial behavior, such as inflicting harm upon or violating the rights of others, is not necessarily sanism.
On another related note, I am also fine with Te'ijal receiving treatment for her psychopathy as long as it does not fall into the trope of curing neurodivergence.
Disclaimer: Psychopathy is not a condition that one can be clinically diagnosed with. The proper diagnostic term for people exhibiting behavior commonly associated with psychopathy is antisocial personality disorder. However, the term "psychopathy" is still useful as a descriptor for a distinct pattern of behavior within the spectrum of antisocial personality disorder.
P.S.: Below are some helpful resources if you need to do research on psychopathy or antisocial personality disorder. Of course, feel free to use other sources for further research.

P.P.S.: If you are unfamiliar with the concept of sanism, several definitions with sources are provided below. Like before, feel free to consult additional resources.
From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanism): “Sanism, saneism, mentalism, or psychophobia refers to the systemic discrimination against or oppression of individuals perceived to have a mental disorder or cognitive impairment.”
From The Ability Toolbox (https://theabilitytoolbox.com/sanism-mental-illness/): “Sanism is prejudice against people with mental illness. Sanism can take the form of harassment, bullying, violence, and discrimination in healthcare, employment, housing, and other aspects of daily life.”
From Simmons University Library (https://simmons.libguides.com/anti-oppression/anti-sanism): “Sanism often stems from the "pathology paradigm [that] ultimately boils down to just two fundamental assumptions:
1. There is one 'right,' 'normal,' or 'healthy' way for human brains and human minds to be configured and to function (or one relatively narrow 'normal' range into which the configuration and functioning of human brains and minds ought to fall).
2. If your neurological configuration and functioning (and, as a result, your ways of thinking and behaving) diverge substantially from the dominant standard of 'normal,' then there is Something Wrong With You." (from Nick Walker)”

Quasimorph (Video Game)
Characters: Francis Reid-Daly, John Hawkwood
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)
Quasimorph has become my greatest special interest over the past couple of years. One of the most fascinating things about it is the cyberpunk, science-fantasy dystopia portrayed in that game. I'd love a story that explores not just the lives of those who live in the anarcho-capitalist paradigm in Quasimorph. The scope of the available characters in this request covers the most violent, destructive, and brutal element of Quasimorph's society: the private military sector, as exemplified by both the soldier Francis Reid-Daly, and the proprietor John Hawkwood. My interests for a story in this fandom include: character studies, worldbuilding, action scenes, and violence (including blood and gore). Darkfics are welcome for this request.
DNW: Mundane/setting change AU.

Geneforge
Characters: Litalia (Geneforge)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)
I would love a story detailing how Litalia's tumultuous life and fight against the Shapers has affected her, both physically and mentally, as I feel that there's a lot of potential for a compelling narrative that is sadly underexplored, in my opinion, in the Geneforge saga.
DNW: Mundane/setting change AU.

Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz
Characters: Ulryk von Jungingen (Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)
Optional details:
The first chapter of this book is such a peanut gallery of all the adversaries of the story. This is my favourite characterisation of Ulryk in the literature so far. He's described in an incredibly sexy way, too, with eyes darkening in anger or sparkling in joy. During the introductory conversation, his mood switches from ire to amusement with the speed of a falling blade, and he manages to offend his late brother in front of a stranger.
And then there's Kuno! Obviously used to his master's volatile nature and making snarky remarks about it. Isn't that an interesting relationship? Why is the grand commander allowed to laugh at Ulryk's expense? How close are those two? Is there friendship or something more between them? Or maybe they're just two like-minded baddies united by common politics?
DNWs:
Animal death, especially no dead horses in the Battle of Grunwald, please. Don't hurt any dogs too.
(I'm fine with the characters eating meat or hunting for food, but if it's for sport, let them rather hunt pagans. Murder as many human characters as you wish. MCD is allowed by all means.)

Knights of the Teutonic Order (1960)
Characters: Ulrich von Jungingen - Knights of the Teutonic Order (1960)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)
Optional details:
Ulrich has a golden armour here! How cool is that? I'd be satisfied to receive a short piece with an armour kink.
Or, if you're thinking of something with a more ambitious plot, feel free to use Rotgier as well. Does Ulrich confront him about the kidnapped girl after the heroes of the story complain about it to the grand master of the Order? Or is he too busy seizing power or mourning his brother's death or both? If he acknowledges his underling’s fault, is he angry at him or does he brush the whole affair off, maybe even providing some plausible excuses to help to sweep it under the rug?
Or, a darker take: I've heard that the punishment for a Teutonic knight who broke the chastity vows was flogging administered by the grand master himself. I'd adore to see such a scene unfolding between Ulrich and Rotgier.
DNWs:
Animal death, especially no dead horses in the Battle of Grunwald, please. Don't hurt any dogs too.

Piraci północy – Dariusz Domagalski
Characters: Ulryk von Jungingen (Piraci północy – Dariusz Domagalski)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)
Optional details:
This is an easy-to-read book, in which the characters have emotional depth as thick as a sheet of printing paper. Ulryk is evil here because the plot demands a punching bag for the main hero. But I love that for the main adversary of the story, of all the possible Teutonic knights, the author chose Ulryk. The idea that Ulryk von Jungingen and Klaus Störtebeker met in person is glorious. They also got an incrediblycool hot sword-fighting scene in the book. Maybe the fic could deal with the aftermath of that encounter?

Grunwald Monument
Characters: Ulrich von Jungingen (Grunwald Monument)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)
Optional details:
I know it was erected to honour king Jagiełło, but I'm not a big fan of him, and he's so distant on his high horse there. Whereas Ulrich is literally within one's hand reach (as you can see by his statue's fingers polished to gold by countless tourists). And isn't the sprawled pose marvellous? It's oddly satisfying on a primal level to see him thrown there at Vytautas’ feet, like one more war trophy from the battlefield.

Thus I would like to see either Anastasia/Maya as a romantic pair (I usually see Anastasia as the initiator of this but if you have ideas for the other way around, I'd love to see it) or Maya's commentary/thoughts/influence/etc on Anastasia's other relationships, whether they be following one of the romantic routes of the game or Anastasia not getting together with any of the guys.

- Tim whump, hurt!Tim, mentions of Titan's Tower incident, implying Tim is a victim of any sort (when in doubt just don't write him)
- / ships for solo Jason (other than childhood noncon, Dick/Jay, and background canon ships)
- purely platonic Dick & Jay (“will they won’t they,” pre-slash both fine, but if they’re not shipped together I’d rather Dick be mean to Jason)
- reverse Robins or AUs where Jason and Dick's age difference is shortened significantly or reversed (if topic comes up Dick being 3+ yrs older is fine, but preferably their canon 6+ yrs)
- top!Jason, Jason being the only one who smokes or swears, Jason characterized as "illiterate/dumb"
- bottom Dick (when penetration is concerned, however oral is fine no matter who's receiving), sub/"subby" Dick
- Jason having facial scars or crooked features
- Jason being described as overly bulky or "big" (especially if he's Robin or pre/without Lazarus pit, then he should stay small)
- Dick being described as physically small or thin or weak or "feminine", exaggerating Dick and Jason's body size difference
- (if A/B/O) Dick being anything other than alpha
- Dick being characterized as a ray of sunshine, a self-sacrificing martyr, or is unsure and lacking self-confidence
- side/implied/potential pairings involving Dick unless it's clear he's the top and the "leading party" of that relationship; no side/past/potential Sladick
- Dick Grayson having prey features for animal features AUs
- Romani Dick
- focusing on Dick's ass, ass jokes
- Unrequested gender swap
- unrequested trans/ace headcanons
- Non-con when the victim stays unaroused (fine if orgasm/arousal is forced)
- Permanent non-canon character death or injury/mutilation for requested ships (fine for unrequested chars, for example feel free to kill off Bruce if he isn't requested)
- race change from canon (except Romani!Dick, which is a dnw)
- Raceplay
- xeno pronouns (“they/them” = great; “it/its” = great in a dehumanization/degradation context or to show how inhuman a character is; “xe/ze” = not these please)
- Spitting in mouth
- vomit kink
- weight gain
- food used in sex (things like hand feeding as a part of D/s relationship is fine, but no food going near places other than hands and mouth please)
- Religion being discussed as a major philosophical topic while presenting it as unironically positive (religious fanaticism/piety as character trait/period-typical religion is fine, just not the narration itself being "preachy").
Treats are welcome!
Dick with Jason, Hal, or Kory. Dick is the only required character, but I definitely don't mind more characters added as long as I get the sexy evil vampire Nightwing I crave. (Dick with his harem of willing and unwilling thralls? YES PLEASE)
Vampire King Dick is the best thing ever. He's so evil and ruthless and I just want to see him fuck everyone up and laugh while drinking their loved ones' blood out of a cup while sadistically taunting them. Tell me there wasn't sexual tension when he had dying Jason at his mercy and pulled off his mask, or a huge D/s undertone in his Lord/Lieutenant relationship with Hal. Or the part where he implied having Kory as a prisoner while using her blood as a temporary "cure" for signs of vampirism. Just want to see Dick as a dominant, totally remorseless vampire villain who you want to hate but also can't help but be enthralled by because "sexy vampires" and stuff.
Kinda into any kind of kinky scenario where Dick keeps Jason or Kory prisoner as unturned blood cows/sex toys, or Hal being a good little submissive vampire servant, or Jason being a good little submissive vampire servant in a world where Dick turns him. Of course if shippy/NSFW isn't your thing I'm just really into Dick being a demanding vampire lord in general so him basically commanding Jason or Hal or keeping Kory as a prisoner with heavy seductive undertones would be awesome too.
Evil Dick and top Dick (if you want to go shippy at all) only please. I have a huge squick with fanon's obsession with whumping Dick Grayson and bottom Dick so that's the only thing I ask. That includes things like typically OOC "bottom" traits (see DNW breakdown). Also, Jason is my blorbo so if you're writing him, please don't write him as ugly or dumb or "always bad" (turning bad from vampirism is very good however!).

Would love worldbuilding or something that tells me more about the characters.
The full game gave us a lot of info on what exactly caused the visitors, but there’s still a lot we don’t know. Why is the pale man so in control while the cashier girl so lost? Are there different kinds of visitors? Are the visitors caused by fungus or the bug in the ears? Are they revived from the dead? Are some of them more “original” or “powerful” than the others? Do they really wear human skin (other than the pale man, the old granny also has a face that droops the longer you speak to her)? And how do the sun and FEMA play into all of this?
Are the visitors like vampires—risen from the dead, can’t enter without an invitation, and anyone can become one?
You don’t have to include all the requested characters, but please include the Protagonist.
The protagonist—his backstory is so intriguing. I want to know more. I want to know why he’s the way he is—lonely and borderline suicidal, but has to learn to open his heart for his guests. One thing the game really left me wanting is that there isn’t a single ending that’s objectively “good.” No… I didn’t really like the death ending in which we assume the Protagonist just… died. I’d love to see your take on a “good ending” in which the Protagonist not only survives but… is grateful that he does. Maybe with some of the guests being his found family. Perhaps he ends up fulfilling the neighbor’s last wish and adopts his daughter (damaged man reluctantly adopting an orphaned child is one of my all-time favorite tropes!). Or forming a bond with the widow and raising the neighbor’s daughter with her?
Other guests—not all listed, but I’d also love to learn more about any of the other guests that you find interesting.
I also find the demon baby ending really creepy and would love the backstory of the seductive woman and the cult.
Since only a few characters have canonical names, I’d love for you to come up with names for characters who don’t, but would prefer them to be other Eastern European names to fit with the setting.

Characters: Kurt (Dread Weight), Dimitri (Dread Weight), Protagonist (Dread Weight)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Can be Dimitri &/ Kurt; Dimitri &/ Protagonist; Kurt &/ Protagonist; OR Dimitri &/ Kurt &/ Protagonist. I'd really really love for this to be either romantic, sexual, or something similar, no matter which character group you're picking. But if that's really not your thing, that's fine, I just really want to see these characters! I have a slight preference for plot focus rather than platonic relationship focus if romance/smut is off the table.
I'll admit, I haven't played the game hands-on, only watched numerous playthrough videos of it. I think I've seen all the routes, however, so I should understand whichever detail you want to focus on. What I like about the relationships from this game is that... they're all kinda fucked up? Kurt's manipulation of everyone around him; Dimitri being a doctor who wants to do good but is inexcusable in enabling Kurt's evil deeds (possibly blinded by love?); the Protagonist being the player character connecting the most with us but ends up revealing as an enforcer of a tyrannical regime... Messy feelings and fucked up power dynamics all around!!! Kurt keeping Dimitri by his side using sweet talk but holds unspoken power over him; Kurt being all around creepy and fucked up with Protagonist when she lost her memories (I think the whole non-consensual mind/body modification alone is a HUGE assault on someone's person); Dimitri trauma bonding with the Protagonist over Kurt's manipulations... Or put them together, have Dimitri bonding with Protagonist only for Kurt to discover them and punish them both, or let Kurt be at their mercy. Going darker: Kurt forcing them into doing things they aren't comfortable with as punishment, or something with an unbalanced V-type relationship where Kurt clearly prefers one of them but keeps the other around anyway just to be cruel.
Other random ideas:
- anything similar to the Dimitri ending (possibly without the deaths?) where they successfully run away together (whether in a romantic way or not)
- I kept having thoughts about Kurt sexually assaulting the protagonist what with undressing in front of her and sleeping in her bed... but I'd also love to see more of the Anime-esque "bastard boyfriend" trope where he essentially tortures her (traps her in a toxic relationship) even though he's written as the pretty boy male love interest stereotype
- Kurt and Dimitri's backstory, how they got together, etc. I see their relationship being a bit more consensual than the above, but I will never say no to noncon either, especially with how fucked up Kurt is.
- Kurt arrested by Protagonist ending: the potential ramifications of that. Also I get really excited thinking about a Protagonist with her memories back giving Kurt a taste of his own medicine. Her torturing Kurt (whether in a kinky way or not) for information or for what he'd done would be great, as does a wider look at the people she works for and the attempt at recreating Kurt's brand of immortality
- something gen (or not so gen) horror involving Kurt's fate or Dimitri crawling inside the mansion walls would be GREAT
For Protagonist (if you're including her), I'm fine with any OC name you want to give her as long as it's reasonably believable for a female character with an Eastern European-esque background. I'm also fine with either second or third-person narration with her as long as it's not literally readerfic (no stuff like y/n or deliberating involving the reader, just treat her as her own character please.)

- Religion being discussed as a major philosophical topic while presenting it as unironically positive (religious fanaticism/piety as character trait/period-typical religion is fine, just not the narration itself being "preachy").
I’m a sucker for stories where the trauma that characters face is treated with care. The middle of the book nearly lost me, but the ending pulled me back full force!
Damn! I was hoping for Newton to survive, but I can’t complain that it ended up being Max. The chapter dedicated to his lasting trauma is sad but so well done that I can even forgive the turtle scene. I really want to see some form of happy ending where both boys survive and grow into adulthood, or just anything that’s less sad than the canon ending. And what about the aftermath? How would Newton corroborate with Max’s version of events? How would the parents cope? Would the two surviving boys form some kind of a trauma bond? Max/Newton is just as good as Max & Newton, so gimme shippy or gen content, I love them both!
I also love dark shit and the body horror of this book, especially when the worms are making Shelley believe that he’s pregnant and must now protect his “babies.” That’s both fucked up and has a… strange erotic undertone that makes you kinda uncomfortable. I love body horror, especially the type when a foreign parasitic entity is rewiring someone’s brain or modifying their body, severing their identity and making them into tools for the entity’s procreation. I like Shelley’s psychopathic creepiness as well as the scifi horror of the worms. Gimme something creepy, if you’d like! I’d love to see whump in which Shelley gets his hands (or the worms make him get his hands) on Max or Newton or both. Torturing them or making them into hosts just like Shelley. No happy ending is required for this, especially if you want to fully embrace the horror!

So many ideas could be explored! If you already have something in mind, go for it—and if you'd like to hear suggestions from me, read on! (And don't worry about whether you're fulfilling the "Worldbuilding" tag—anything you write will count as worldbuilding to me, even if the story just focuses on small corners of the world.)
Who was building the gigantic cat statue, and why? It's not clear exactly how long ago the human abandonment of the area took place, but I've considered the possibility that the left-behind drawings that look so much like the cat are actually of that very same cat, and whatever happened, happened recently enough that the cat and the people who left would have known each other. (Certainly it's clear that the water never rose this high before, since those drawings were left previously undamaged by water.) I get the impression also that the humans may simply have left this area and gone Somewhere Else (rather than vanishing entirely—though you may have other ideas!)—in which case, perhaps a human who knew the cat could learn something from the news about the place they left the cat behind in? (Whether they learn anything about the cat specifically or not.) Or further exploration of any of the animals' individual stories would be interesting, before or after the events of the movie—whether the nominated characters or any of the other creatures they encounter.

"I think we're even dealing with some sort of test. To take the idea further, it may be precisely because we can now envision the idea of being programs that the simulation is offering us this test. And we'd better get it right, or at least make something interesting out of it."
"Why's that?" Silveria asks.
"Because if we fail, the entities running this simulation could just shut it down."
Anything: I'm interested in anything you do for this! (Don't worry about whether you're fulfilling the "Worldbuilding" tag—anything you write will count as worldbuilding to me, even if the story just focuses on individual characters.)
I otherwise haven't found the idea that we're all living in a simulation all that compelling, but I find it so interesting that the test is clearly failed and the simulation ends on the last page. And to think: the Chinese government hiding the existence of their duplicate plane and sequestering the passengers (apparently permanently) didn't fail the test. Even the malicious killing of one set of duplicates caused by the (publicly-known) duplicate plane that landed in the US didn't fail the test. But the American president choosing to shoot down the next duplicate of the same plane (…the triplicate??), killing all aboard: that failed the test and ended the simulation. What does this suggest about the priorities and ethical standards of the entities running the test? Could there be other conditions that would also fail the test, and if so, I wonder what they are?
What would have happened if the triplicate plane had been allowed to land? Would the same plane just have kept coming again and again? Were there/would there have been any future versions of the duplicate plane that landed in China? Do any other places see their own versions of a duplicate plane? Do any other strange events start occurring as part of this phenomenon? Or you could do a close-in focus on any of the characters—what additional alternate branching pathways could unfold for them?
Or you could explore further into the entities running the simulation! Who are they? What are the goals of the simulation? Is this a serious-business experiment or just some folks fucking around? Is there future IRB overseeing experiments on virtual subjects? Who's funding this? (If any of these questions even apply..?)
Or: there were a lot of other people on the plane! What are any of their stories?

She knows Phil so well! She knows she can't be with him anymore! She still loves him and wishes him well! She can predict the exact way he is going to be a dumbass on his sailing trip adventure and mitigate it pre-emptively. She KNOWS what is UP. She knows what she wants out of life, and I hope she gets it.
(Phil doesn't have to be in or even mentioned in the story, of course—which maybe you would have assumed from the nomination and character request anyway!—it's just hard for me to talk about what I like about her without mentioning him at all, since in the book we only know about her via that context.)

I loved loved loved those glimpses of the physical affection between François and Louis, and Barbe-Nicole's lack of jealousy, and how much Barbe-Nicole and François loved each other—put these ingredients together!
If you want to write about sexytimes with any/all of them—some possible elements I find interesting are: involving any of the accoutrements of wine production (from tasting the finished products all the way to the mud of the fields the grapes grow in); reading/quoting sexy literature/letters to each other; the domineering streak in Barbe-Nicole demonstrated when she kisses Louis and then tells him "Now, get out of my office." (I LOVED that line.) And I always love non-heteronormative sex.
I'm not sure I see a way to a happy alternate ending for all three of them, without any way of identifying in nineteenth-century France whatever mental illness François is dealing with, much less how to treat it. But the three of them can share happiness along the way, even if it still leads to sadness.
Even if they're not all together at the same time, focusing on the important relationships between each pair of them would make me happy. For instance, would Barbe-Nicole and Louis ever talk about Louis' past relationship with François after Barbe-Nicole and Louis get together after François' death?
Barbe-Nicole tells her father-in-law that they both failed to recognize that François needed help, and that's why he's dead—she must feel such grief and guilt over her perception of failing him. That line she and François exchange about "wanting to die in your arms" is really striking, especially how in the end François said he wanted to die in Barbe-Nicole's arms...and then he died alone.
I really feel for Barbe-Nicole being so haunted by François in every corner of their home, even as she tries to move ahead alone into the future they had planned for themselves together. Perhaps the haunting could even be literal, and François could be a ghost?
François singing to the vines and getting Barbe-Nicole to do so as well reminded me of a beekeeping tradition I've heard about, where when the beekeeper marries, the new spouse has to be introduced to the bees, and somebody also needs to tell the bees when the old beekeeper has died. Perhaps the vines kept growing so well for Barbe-Nicole because she already sang for them and they knew her?
If you do want to try for a happy ending, I'll also note that in general, the approach I prefer for a "happy ending" with mental illness in stories is that of characters finding ways to manage it/work around it/live with it, although the effects never go away entirely—and not a solution that magically fixes everything.
Reading the book the movie is based on showed me that the character dynamics I was so interested in were entirely invented for the movie :-D That being the case, feel free to port the character dynamics into a different setting if you'd like to play around with it (or just don't want to do historical research :-P)—an alternate past with magic (like the couple of magic ideas I have above)? an In Space AU is always fun? or bring your own ideas!

I'd be very happy with anything that fills in some of the details (mundane or fascinating) between the hourly updates in the Bluesky account. (Like, what does the contract for the weekly garbage pickup by the monster who eats it look like?) There are also hints of a tragic backstory that could be fascinating to explore.
I only nominated the wizard, but any other characters you want to bring in as well are very welcome! In fact, maybe it could be interesting to see characters in combination that the wizard usually interacts with separately? I do love the whole little social network the wizard has around himself!
I do especially love the close relationship between the wizard and the ex-paladin (the ex-paladin minds the wizard's stall at the weekly market for him and BRUSHES CRUMBS off the wizard's CHEEK when they eat together!) and I'd love to see more elaboration on it (whether romantic, platonic, or [vaguely handwaves]. I believe the ex-paladin's gender is never specified, so you can do whatever you want with it!
I also love how the wizard takes care of the little cat and would be delighted to see more of that! Also, what's going on those times when the little cat appears to be reading a tome/grimoire/spellbook at night when the wizard is asleep?

IF you want to stick with gen, feel free to stay canon-typical and give me a breezy plot in which Michael and Joey have to help Nicole with some important event.

Request 1 by DreckDetritusAndDross
Aveyond (Video Games)
Characters: Te'ijal Ravenfoot
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)
I have a headcanon that Te'ijal Ravenfoot is a psychopath. I would love a story that explored this concept further, delving into how Te'ijal's psychopathy would affect/recontextualize both her interactions with her colleagues and her actions throughout the Aveyond games. Furthermore, content that supplements those already in the Aveyond games, such as extra conversations or scenes, would also be welcome.
DNW: Unrequested kinks, mundane/setting change AUs, Te'ijal being "cured" of her psychopathy (i.e. being made neurotypical), Te’ijal character bashing*, neurodivergence being used to excuse bad behavior**.
*Given the stigma surrounding psychopathy, I understand if there is any confusion over this specific DNW. Let me make this clear: psychopaths are still people; having little or no empathy or emotional intelligence does not make one categorically evil or dangerous. For the purposes of this prompt, Te’ijal should be a person with both rights and accountability.
**Using neurodivergence to excuse bad behavior sounds something like this: “She can’t take responsibility for her actions because she can’t control herself/she doesn’t know what she’s doing/her brain isn’t wired correctly/etc.”
On a related note, I am fine with the inclusion of sanist language, bigotry, and/or violence as long as it is not presented as ethically/morally correct by the story itself. Keep in mind that hostility towards a neurodivergent offender in retaliation to the offender perpetrating antisocial behavior, such as inflicting harm upon or violating the rights of others, is not necessarily sanism.
On another related note, I am also fine with Te'ijal receiving treatment for her psychopathy as long as it does not fall into the trope of curing neurodivergence.
Disclaimer: Psychopathy is not a condition that one can be clinically diagnosed with. The proper diagnostic term for people exhibiting behavior commonly associated with psychopathy is antisocial personality disorder. However, the term "psychopathy" is still useful as a descriptor for a distinct pattern of behavior within the spectrum of antisocial personality disorder.
P.S.: Below are some helpful resources if you need to do research on psychopathy or antisocial personality disorder. Of course, feel free to use other sources for further research.

P.P.S.: If you are unfamiliar with the concept of sanism, several definitions with sources are provided below. Like before, feel free to consult additional resources.
From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanism): “Sanism, saneism, mentalism, or psychophobia refers to the systemic discrimination against or oppression of individuals perceived to have a mental disorder or cognitive impairment.”
From The Ability Toolbox (https://theabilitytoolbox.com/sanism-mental-illness/): “Sanism is prejudice against people with mental illness. Sanism can take the form of harassment, bullying, violence, and discrimination in healthcare, employment, housing, and other aspects of daily life.”
From Simmons University Library (https://simmons.libguides.com/anti-oppression/anti-sanism): “Sanism often stems from the "pathology paradigm [that] ultimately boils down to just two fundamental assumptions:
1. There is one 'right,' 'normal,' or 'healthy' way for human brains and human minds to be configured and to function (or one relatively narrow 'normal' range into which the configuration and functioning of human brains and minds ought to fall).
2. If your neurological configuration and functioning (and, as a result, your ways of thinking and behaving) diverge substantially from the dominant standard of 'normal,' then there is Something Wrong With You." (from Nick Walker)”

Optional details:
The first chapter of this book is such a peanut gallery of all the adversaries of the story. This is my favourite characterisation of Ulryk in the literature so far. He's described in an incredibly sexy way, too, with eyes darkening in anger or sparkling in joy. During the introductory conversation, his mood switches from ire to amusement with the speed of a falling blade, and he manages to offend his late brother in front of a stranger.
And then there's Kuno! Obviously used to his master's volatile nature and making snarky remarks about it. Isn't that an interesting relationship? Why is the grand commander allowed to laugh at Ulryk's expense? How close are those two? Is there friendship or something more between them? Or maybe they're just two like-minded baddies united by common politics?

Ulrich has a golden armour here! How cool is that? I'd be satisfied to receive a short piece with an armour kink.
Or, if you're thinking of something with a more ambitious plot, feel free to use Rotgier as well. Does Ulrich confront him about the kidnapped girl after the heroes of the story complain about it to the grand master of the Order? Or is he too busy seizing power or mourning his brother's death or both? If he acknowledges his underling’s fault, is he angry at him or does he brush the whole affair off, maybe even providing some plausible excuses to help to sweep it under the rug?
Or, a darker take: I've heard that the punishment for a Teutonic knight who broke the chastity vows was flogging administered by the grand master himself. I'd adore to see such a scene unfolding between Ulrich and Rotgier.

I know it was erected to honour king Jagiełło, but I'm not a big fan of him, and he's so distant on his high horse there. Whereas Ulrich is literally within one's hand reach (as you can see by his statue's fingers polished to gold by countless tourists). And isn't the sprawled pose marvellous? It's oddly satisfying on a primal level to see him thrown there at Vytautas’ feet, like one more war trophy from the battlefield.
DNWs:
Animal death, especially no dead horses in the Battle of Grunwald, please. Don't hurt any dogs too.
(I'm fine with the characters eating meat or hunting for food, but if it's for sport, let them rather hunt pagans. Murder as many human characters as you wish. MCD is allowed by all means.)

DC vs. Vampires (DC Comics)
Characters: Dick Grayson (DC vs. Vampires), Koriand'r (DC vs. Vampires), Jason Todd (DC vs. Vampires), Hal Jordan (DC vs. Vampires)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form
DC DNW:
- Dick whump, hurt!Dick, comparing Dick’s trauma to Jason’s as if they’re equal (no mentioning Catalina, no implying that Dick's heart stopping in Forever Evil is equivalent to Jason's death etc.)- Tim whump, hurt!Tim, mentions of Titan's Tower incident, implying Tim is a victim of any sort (when in doubt just don't write him)
- / ships for solo Jason (other than childhood noncon, Dick/Jay, and background canon ships)
- purely platonic Dick & Jay (“will they won’t they,” pre-slash both fine, but if they’re not shipped together I’d rather Dick be mean to Jason)
- reverse Robins or AUs where Jason and Dick's age difference is shortened significantly or reversed (if topic comes up Dick being 3+ yrs older is fine, but preferably their canon 6+ yrs)
- top!Jason, Jason being the only one who smokes or swears, Jason characterized as "illiterate/dumb"
- bottom Dick (when penetration is concerned, however oral is fine no matter who's receiving), sub/"subby" Dick
- Jason having facial scars or crooked features
- Jason being described as overly bulky or "big" (especially if he's Robin or pre/without Lazarus pit, then he should stay small)
- Dick being described as physically small or thin or weak or "feminine", exaggerating Dick and Jason's body size difference
- (if A/B/O) Dick being anything other than alpha
- Dick being characterized as a ray of sunshine, a self-sacrificing martyr, or is unsure and lacking self-confidence
- side/implied/potential pairings involving Dick unless it's clear he's the top and the "leading party" of that relationship; no side/past/potential Sladick
- Dick Grayson having prey features for animal features AUs
- Romani Dick
- focusing on Dick's ass, ass jokes
DNW-general:
- discussing "social issues" (gender politics, racism etc.)- Unrequested gender swap
- unrequested trans/ace headcanons
- Non-con when the victim stays unaroused (fine if orgasm/arousal is forced)
- Permanent non-canon character death or injury/mutilation for requested ships (fine for unrequested chars, for example feel free to kill off Bruce if he isn't requested)
- race change from canon (except Romani!Dick, which is a dnw)
- Raceplay
- xeno pronouns (“they/them” = great; “it/its” = great in a dehumanization/degradation context or to show how inhuman a character is; “xe/ze” = not these please)
- Spitting in mouth
- vomit kink
- weight gain
- food used in sex (things like hand feeding as a part of D/s relationship is fine, but no food going near places other than hands and mouth please)
- Religion being discussed as a major philosophical topic while presenting it as unironically positive (religious fanaticism/piety as character trait/period-typical religion is fine, just not the narration itself being "preachy").
Dick with Jason, Hal, or Kory. Dick is the only required character, but I definitely don't mind more characters added as long as I get the sexy evil vampire Nightwing I crave. (Dick with his harem of willing and unwilling thralls? YES PLEASE)
Vampire King Dick is the best thing ever. He's so evil and ruthless and I just want to see him fuck everyone up and laugh while drinking their loved ones' blood out of a cup while sadistically taunting them. Tell me there wasn't sexual tension when he had dying Jason at his mercy and pulled off his mask, or a huge D/s undertone in his Lord/Lieutenant relationship with Hal. Or the part where he implied having Kory as a prisoner while using her blood as a temporary "cure" for signs of vampirism. Just want to see Dick as a dominant, totally remorseless vampire villain who you want to hate but also can't help but be enthralled by because "sexy vampires" and stuff.
Kinda into any kind of kinky scenario where Dick keeps Jason or Kory prisoner as unturned blood cows/sex toys, or Hal being a good little submissive vampire servant, or Jason being a good little submissive vampire servant in a world where Dick turns him. Of course if shippy/NSFW isn't your thing I'm just really into Dick being a demanding vampire lord in general so him basically commanding Jason or Hal or keeping Kory as a prisoner with heavy seductive undertones would be awesome too.
Evil Dick and top Dick (if you want to go shippy at all) only please. I have a huge squick with fanon's obsession with whumping Dick Grayson and bottom Dick so that's the only thing I ask. That includes things like typically OOC "bottom" traits (see DNW breakdown). Also, Jason is my blorbo so if you're writing him, please don't write him as ugly or dumb or "always bad" (turning bad from vampirism is very good however!).

The full game gave us a lot of info on what exactly caused the visitors, but there’s still a lot we don’t know. Why is the pale man so in control while the cashier girl so lost? Are there different kinds of visitors? Are the visitors caused by fungus or the bug in the ears? Are they revived from the dead? Are some of them more “original” or “powerful” than the others? Do they really wear human skin (other than the pale man, the old granny also has a face that droops the longer you speak to her)? And how do the sun and FEMA play into all of this?
Are the visitors like vampires—risen from the dead, can’t enter without an invitation, and anyone can become one?
You don’t have to include all the requested characters, but please include the Protagonist.
The protagonist—his backstory is so intriguing. I want to know more. I want to know why he’s the way he is—lonely and borderline suicidal, but has to learn to open his heart for his guests. One thing the game really left me wanting is that there isn’t a single ending that’s objectively “good.” No… I didn’t really like the death ending in which we assume the Protagonist just… died. I’d love to see your take on a “good ending” in which the Protagonist not only survives but… is grateful that he does. Maybe with some of the guests being his found family. Perhaps he ends up fulfilling the neighbor’s last wish and adopts his daughter (damaged man reluctantly adopting an orphaned child is one of my all-time favorite tropes!). Or forming a bond with the widow and raising the neighbor’s daughter with her?
Other guests—not all listed, but I’d also love to learn more about any of the other guests that you find interesting.
I also find the demon baby ending really creepy and would love the backstory of the seductive woman and the cult.
Since only a few characters have canonical names, I’d love for you to come up with names for characters who don’t, but would prefer them to be other Eastern European names to fit with the setting.

My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form
DNW-general:
- real-life politics (for this canon, it's fine to touch on politics, but if you do, I prefer that you either don't mention specific historical leaders' names or events, or just make up fictional names for them)- Unrequested gender swap
- unrequested trans/ace headcanons
- Non-con when the victim stays unaroused (fine if orgasm/arousal is forced)
- Permanent non-canon character death or injury/mutilation for requested ships

I'll admit, I haven't played the game hands-on, only watched numerous playthrough videos of it. I think I've seen all the routes, however, so I should understand whichever detail you want to focus on. What I like about the relationships from this game is that... they're all kinda fucked up? Kurt's manipulation of everyone around him; Dimitri being a doctor who wants to do good but is inexcusable in enabling Kurt's evil deeds (possibly blinded by love?); the Protagonist being the player character connecting the most with us but ends up revealing as an enforcer of a tyrannical regime... Messy feelings and fucked up power dynamics all around!!! Kurt keeping Dimitri by his side using sweet talk but holds unspoken power over him; Kurt being all around creepy and fucked up with Protagonist when she lost her memories (I think the whole non-consensual mind/body modification alone is a HUGE assault on someone's person); Dimitri trauma bonding with the Protagonist over Kurt's manipulations... Or put them together, have Dimitri bonding with Protagonist only for Kurt to discover them and punish them both, or let Kurt be at their mercy. Going darker: Kurt forcing them into doing things they aren't comfortable with as punishment, or something with an unbalanced V-type relationship where Kurt clearly prefers one of them but keeps the other around anyway just to be cruel.
Other random ideas:
- anything similar to the Dimitri ending (possibly without the deaths?) where they successfully run away together (whether in a romantic way or not)
- I kept having thoughts about Kurt sexually assaulting the protagonist what with undressing in front of her and sleeping in her bed... but I'd also love to see more of the Anime-esque "bastard boyfriend" trope where he essentially tortures her (traps her in a toxic relationship) even though he's written as the pretty boy male love interest stereotype
- Kurt and Dimitri's backstory, how they got together, etc. I see their relationship being a bit more consensual than the above, but I will never say no to noncon either, especially with how fucked up Kurt is.
- Kurt arrested by Protagonist ending: the potential ramifications of that. Also I get really excited thinking about a Protagonist with her memories back giving Kurt a taste of his own medicine. Her torturing Kurt (whether in a kinky way or not) for information or for what he'd done would be great, as does a wider look at the people she works for and the attempt at recreating Kurt's brand of immortality
- something gen (or not so gen) horror involving Kurt's fate or Dimitri crawling inside the mansion walls would be GREAT
For Protagonist (if you're including her), I'm fine with any OC name you want to give her as long as it's reasonably believable for a female character with an Eastern European-esque background. I'm also fine with either second or third-person narration with her as long as it's not literally readerfic (no stuff like y/n or deliberating involving the reader, just treat her as her own character please.)

Damn! I was hoping for Newton to survive, but I can’t complain that it ended up being Max. The chapter dedicated to his lasting trauma is sad but so well done that I can even forgive the turtle scene. I really want to see some form of happy ending where both boys survive and grow into adulthood, or just anything that’s less sad than the canon ending. And what about the aftermath? How would Newton corroborate with Max’s version of events? How would the parents cope? Would the two surviving boys form some kind of a trauma bond? Max/Newton is just as good as Max & Newton, so gimme shippy or gen content, I love them both!
I also love dark shit and the body horror of this book, especially when the worms are making Shelley believe that he’s pregnant and must now protect his “babies.” That’s both fucked up and has a… strange erotic undertone that makes you kinda uncomfortable. I love body horror, especially the type when a foreign parasitic entity is rewiring someone’s brain or modifying their body, severing their identity and making them into tools for the entity’s procreation. I like Shelley’s psychopathic creepiness as well as the scifi horror of the worms. Gimme something creepy, if you’d like! I’d love to see whump in which Shelley gets his hands (or the worms make him get his hands) on Max or Newton or both. Torturing them or making them into hosts just like Shelley. No happy ending is required for this, especially if you want to fully embrace the horror!

So many ideas could be explored! If you already have something in mind, go for it—and if you'd like to hear suggestions from me, read on! (And don't worry about whether you're fulfilling the "Worldbuilding" tag—anything you write will count as worldbuilding to me, even if the story just focuses on small corners of the world.)
Who was building the gigantic cat statue, and why? It's not clear exactly how long ago the human abandonment of the area took place, but I've considered the possibility that the left-behind drawings that look so much like the cat are actually of that very same cat, and whatever happened, happened recently enough that the cat and the people who left would have known each other. (Certainly it's clear that the water never rose this high before, since those drawings were left previously undamaged by water.) I get the impression also that the humans may simply have left this area and gone Somewhere Else (rather than vanishing entirely—though you may have other ideas!)—in which case, perhaps a human who knew the cat could learn something from the news about the place they left the cat behind in? (Whether they learn anything about the cat specifically or not.) Or further exploration of any of the animals' individual stories would be interesting, before or after the events of the movie—whether the nominated characters or any of the other creatures they encounter.

"I think we're even dealing with some sort of test. To take the idea further, it may be precisely because we can now envision the idea of being programs that the simulation is offering us this test. And we'd better get it right, or at least make something interesting out of it."
"Why's that?" Silveria asks.
"Because if we fail, the entities running this simulation could just shut it down."
Anything: I'm interested in anything you do for this! (Don't worry about whether you're fulfilling the "Worldbuilding" tag—anything you write will count as worldbuilding to me, even if the story just focuses on individual characters.)
I otherwise haven't found the idea that we're all living in a simulation all that compelling, but I find it so interesting that the test is clearly failed and the simulation ends on the last page. And to think: the Chinese government hiding the existence of their duplicate plane and sequestering the passengers (apparently permanently) didn't fail the test. Even the malicious killing of one set of duplicates caused by the (publicly-known) duplicate plane that landed in the US didn't fail the test. But the American president choosing to shoot down the next duplicate of the same plane (…the triplicate??), killing all aboard: that failed the test and ended the simulation. What does this suggest about the priorities and ethical standards of the entities running the test? Could there be other conditions that would also fail the test, and if so, I wonder what they are?
What would have happened if the triplicate plane had been allowed to land? Would the same plane just have kept coming again and again? Were there/would there have been any future versions of the duplicate plane that landed in China? Do any other places see their own versions of a duplicate plane? Do any other strange events start occurring as part of this phenomenon? Or you could do a close-in focus on any of the characters—what additional alternate branching pathways could unfold for them?
Or you could explore further into the entities running the simulation! Who are they? What are the goals of the simulation? Is this a serious-business experiment or just some folks fucking around? Is there future IRB overseeing experiments on virtual subjects? Who's funding this? (If any of these questions even apply..?)
Or: there were a lot of other people on the plane! What are any of their stories?

Fandom promo post from last year with more information about the source! https://yuletide.dreamwidth.org/326270.html?thread=5443198#cmt5443198
I don't even have a clear idea of what kind of story I want to request here, it just makes me happy every time I think of Myrna, so I'd like to see more of her!
She knows Phil so well! She knows she can't be with him anymore! She still loves him and wishes him well! She can predict the exact way he is going to be a dumbass on his sailing trip adventure and mitigate it pre-emptively. She KNOWS what is UP. She knows what she wants out of life, and I hope she gets it.
(Phil doesn't have to be in or even mentioned in the story, of course—which maybe you would have assumed from the nomination and character request anyway!—it's just hard for me to talk about what I like about her without mentioning him at all, since in the book we only know about her via that context.)

"You like him."
"Yes. I do."
"I see the way you are with one another."
"Are you jealous?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I know you love me. And because I believe we must be free to feel whatever we feel, so that we never mistake rebellion for reality. Because I like his company too."
"You like his company?"
"I do."
Man, for like a minute there I thought they were heading for a happy threesome! And then that did not happen. But it could in fanfiction! What if they all got to love each other at the same time? I loved loved loved those glimpses of the physical affection between François and Louis, and Barbe-Nicole's lack of jealousy, and how much Barbe-Nicole and François loved each other—put these ingredients together!
If you want to write about sexytimes with any/all of them—some possible elements I find interesting are: involving any of the accoutrements of wine production (from tasting the finished products all the way to the mud of the fields the grapes grow in); reading/quoting sexy literature/letters to each other; the domineering streak in Barbe-Nicole demonstrated when she kisses Louis and then tells him "Now, get out of my office." (I LOVED that line.) And I always love non-heteronormative sex.
I'm not sure I see a way to a happy alternate ending for all three of them, without any way of identifying in nineteenth-century France whatever mental illness François is dealing with, much less how to treat it. But the three of them can share happiness along the way, even if it still leads to sadness.
Even if they're not all together at the same time, focusing on the important relationships between each pair of them would make me happy. For instance, would Barbe-Nicole and Louis ever talk about Louis' past relationship with François after Barbe-Nicole and Louis get together after François' death?
Barbe-Nicole tells her father-in-law that they both failed to recognize that François needed help, and that's why he's dead—she must feel such grief and guilt over her perception of failing him. That line she and François exchange about "wanting to die in your arms" is really striking, especially how in the end François said he wanted to die in Barbe-Nicole's arms...and then he died alone.
I really feel for Barbe-Nicole being so haunted by François in every corner of their home, even as she tries to move ahead alone into the future they had planned for themselves together. Perhaps the haunting could even be literal, and François could be a ghost?
François singing to the vines and getting Barbe-Nicole to do so as well reminded me of a beekeeping tradition I've heard about, where when the beekeeper marries, the new spouse has to be introduced to the bees, and somebody also needs to tell the bees when the old beekeeper has died. Perhaps the vines kept growing so well for Barbe-Nicole because she already sang for them and they knew her?
If you do want to try for a happy ending, I'll also note that in general, the approach I prefer for a "happy ending" with mental illness in stories is that of characters finding ways to manage it/work around it/live with it, although the effects never go away entirely—and not a solution that magically fixes everything.
Reading the book the movie is based on showed me that the character dynamics I was so interested in were entirely invented for the movie :-D That being the case, feel free to port the character dynamics into a different setting if you'd like to play around with it (or just don't want to do historical research :-P)—an alternate past with magic (like the couple of magic ideas I have above)? an In Space AU is always fun? or bring your own ideas!

I'd be very happy with anything that fills in some of the details (mundane or fascinating) between the hourly updates in the Bluesky account. (Like, what does the contract for the weekly garbage pickup by the monster who eats it look like?) There are also hints of a tragic backstory that could be fascinating to explore.
I only nominated the wizard, but any other characters you want to bring in as well are very welcome! In fact, maybe it could be interesting to see characters in combination that the wizard usually interacts with separately? I do love the whole little social network the wizard has around himself!
I do especially love the close relationship between the wizard and the ex-paladin (the ex-paladin minds the wizard's stall at the weekly market for him and BRUSHES CRUMBS off the wizard's CHEEK when they eat together!) and I'd love to see more elaboration on it (whether romantic, platonic, or [vaguely handwaves]. I believe the ex-paladin's gender is never specified, so you can do whatever you want with it!
I also love how the wizard takes care of the little cat and would be delighted to see more of that! Also, what's going on those times when the little cat appears to be reading a tome/grimoire/spellbook at night when the wizard is asleep?
