Chocolate Box!

Dear Chocolatier,

Thank you so much for signing up! I hope that this letter is helpful and contains information that sparks your interest. :) Feel free to stay in the general likes/dislikes section if that's more your style, or proceed to my rambling/fandom flailing/prompts. I am super into all of my requests and I am sure I will love anything you write!

General Likes/Dislikes

DNWs: A/B/O, child sexual abuse, incest, goreshock, kidfic/curtainfic, menstrual/period discussion, mundane AUs, stillbirth/miscarriage, unrequested ships.

Fic Likes: Banter, bittersweet endings, casefic, cigarette smoking (if character is a canon smoker), competence kink, complicated family dynamics, corruption, dubious morality/choices, enemies-to-friends-to-lovers (or anywhere in between), forgiveness/absolution, found families, horror*, hurt/comfort, loyalty kink/absolute loyalty, magical realism, moral ambiguity, religious ritual, slice of life, UST, winning in the worst possible way, worldbuilding. 

(*Horror: psychological, body, erotic, or paranormal/zombie/scifi; not: slasher, goreshock, torture, or “Saw”-like scenarios).

'Ship Likes: Angst, banter instead of sex, denial of feelings, first time/relationship firsts, forced proximity, jealousy, mutual/one-sided pining, possessiveness, sexual tension, trust dynamics (such as established trust issues, gaining/losing someone's trust, trusting-someone-despite-everything, etc.)

Kink Likes: Biting, breathplay, dubcon*, dirty talk, light bondage, masturbation, oral sex, orgasm denial, persuasion/reluctance, possessiveness, power dynamics, semi-public sex, sex pollen/whatever the canon equivalent of sex-pollen would be, uniform/suit kink, vampire bloodplay, voice fetishization.

(*A note on dubcon/noncon: I'm okay with a dubcon scenario leaning heavily toward noncon in a "my mind says no but my body says yes" kind of situation.)

AUs/Fusions: I love a good AU. You know what makes any story great? SETTING IT IN SPACE. I adore space opera AUs, apocalypse (esp zombies!), vampires, Rule 63*, detective/spy noir, ghost hunters (someone introduced me to this AU and strangely it's everything I've ever wanted.) Fusion-wise, I'm a huge fan of Star Wars, Inception, Pacific Rim, & Firefly/Serenity.

(*Rule 63: If shippy fic, I'd prefer both halves of the pairing be swapped please!)

  

Ratings: I'm happy with G-E. I really don't mind violence, swearing, or anything like that. Gen is great. Smut is great. On the violence/gore scale, from Care Bears to the Saw films... my limit is usually right around Quentin Tarantino. 

 

If you're unsure about something in particular, a good indicator for me is usually 'canon typical.'

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

(Please note: there are The Last Jedi Spoilers aaaaaall through this section!)

Ben Solo | Kylo Ren & Han Solo

 

Okay so, Han Solo has always been my absolute fave since the OT, and to say that I was ALSO TORN APART by his ending in TFA would not be overstating it. But I'm slowly coming to terms with it and I really, really dug all the Han mentions in TLJ. (ESPECIALLY Snoke's "You have too much of your father's heart in you, young Solo." and Luke's "I'll always be with you, just like your father.")

 

I would adore anything you could give me from their dynamic. Anything.

Prompts:

 

• Han teaching young Ben to fly the Falcon
• An outsider observing them interacting together, pre-TFA (Leia, Luke, Chewie, or whoever you want)
• Kylo being unable to cope/expanding on how his spirit was "split to the bone" by Han's murder
• Han's reaction to Ben being sent away for training ("Han was...well, Han about it." TELL ME EVERYTHING.)
• My heart is broken with the idea of Han "I don't believe in that Force Mumbo Jumbo" Solo having a Force-sensitive kid and being completely, horribly, out of his depth. All the awful parenting fails please, with Han just trying his best and... Yeah.
• Ben's attributes that are uniquely Han's and how they slip out (either pre-canon or even now, post-TLJ)
• Obviously, Force-Ghost Han isn't doable by canon's limits, but whatever the equivalent of that is! I don't care!
• Kylo Ren is probably very, very good at sabacc. He never plays. Discuss.

Ben Solo | Kylo Ren & Luke Skywalker

 

Wrecked and ruined me, The Last Jedi did. I also adore Luke Skywalker and I thought his arc in TLJ was FANTASTIC. For me, it fit his character really well (always looking to the horizon!) and was heartbreaking but also a really great way to handle this character and the circumstances he found himself in. He's never been a perfect character-- none of these characters have-- and although it breaks my heart they didn't get a happy ending, I'm deeply into their survivor guilt/dysfunction.

Prompts:

• Training moments together (either good or bad, where Luke is proud of his nephew or Very Apprehensive about him.)
• What's Luke like as a teacher? Yoda's certainly had some influence. 
• There's that moment on Crait where Luke survives the First Order's barrage attack that it looks like Kylo almost laughs because he just CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SHIT. More of that/expand on their fight scene and the feelings of betrayal/hurt they both have toward each other, please please please. 
• Force Ghost Luke trolling the hell out of Supreme Leader Ren (can be canon-friendly or as cracky as you want)

Rey & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren, Kylo Ren/Rey

Well, hello, my ridiculous tropey OTP. I adored these two in TFA and so of course TLJ was really, really good to me, bless. I would be super interested in platonic fic that explores their dynamic, as well as smutty/shippy fic. One-sided pining or mutual pining is also super MY JAM. Whatever is on your radar, dear author.

Prompts:

• I adore any kind of role divergence AU for this pairing-- Light Side Ben Solo, Senator Ben Solo, Smuggler Ben Solo, Dark Rey, Smuggler Rey, Witches of Dathomir  Rey (okay, this last one is my pipe dream prompt, but know I would adore you for it.)
• Mundane Force Bond moments-- fixing the Falcon, where Ben probably already knows what's wrong with the ship but REALLY doesn't want to be a part of it, dueling/meditation practice where they keep getting distracted by each other, Rey exploring Ahch-To.
• Competence Kink! From either of them. They hate each other, but they can't help but admire ____.
• Kylo Ren finds himself overwhelmed by the current role of Supreme Leader and he's terrible at it and Rey can't help but remind him of that.
• Rey finds herself being overtaken by the dark side, Kylo/Ben has to bring her back. 
• Ben and Rey fly the Falcon together (Force Bond or in the future assuming a redemption arc)
• Kylo Ren dies saving Rey or something/someone Rey cares about. Rey has a lot of complicated feelings about this. ALL THE ANGST AND TEARS. 
• Lightsaber duels, lightsaber duels, lightsaber duels.

The Defenders (TV)

Tumblr Tag!

Jessica Jones & Matt Murdock

Oh, my BROTP. These two were amazing and I need more of them in my life. I was living for every moment that I got with them snarking at each other and of course, it wasn't enough. More of that, please.

You can do something post-Defenders or canon-divergent, or set in the future (when Matt's back....whatever you like!)

Prompts:

• Jess and Matt have a drink and talk about their love lives. Lots of alcohol is involved.
• Jessica investigates Matt's past to figure out just who IS this guy?
• They're both addicts, even if it's to completely different things. Tell me about that. Do they enable each other? Are they harder on each other because of that?
• Jessica and Matt are simultaneously investigating each other and manage to trip constantly over one another ala Spy vs Spy
• Jessica/Matt get injured Fighting Crime and the only person available to stitch them up is....Matt/Jessica. This is a terrible idea for a myriad of reasons.
• Jessica is actually the only one who knows Matt is still alive and is charged with keeping him informed on what's going on in his town, which she does...in typical Jess fashion. (I'm caught up on all the Marvel movies/Punisher series so if you want to bring in any outside details don't worry about spoilers.)
• Jess and Matt compete for Most Reluctant NYC Superhero and complain constantly about having to fix their weird town.

Patricia Walker & Karen Page

So I really like these two separately and I'd like to see them do things together! For Great Journalistic Integrity, or something. (I'm caught up with the Punisher, too, so if you want to include references/events from there, go ahead!) Please no Karen/Matt, though (or if mentioned, firmly in the past and not a main focus).

Prompts:

• Patricia/Karen realize that Karen/Patricia know more then they're saying and try and figure each other out.
• They collaborate on some kind of Reporting Investigation, or Karen is brought on Trish's show
• Basically sitting around and having a drink and comparing notes on their ridiculous superhero friends and/or dating lives

Pirates of the Caribbean (Movies)

Tumblr Tag!

James Norrington/Elizabeth Swan

So THIS was one of my ultimate OTPs back in the day. I love Norrington's stoicism, slightly snobby humor, and the way he continues to keep loving Elizabeth through everything. I'm also a huge sucker for redemption arcs/corruption arcs and Norrington has BOTH so anything with that would also be lovely. 

Prompts:

• All the one-sided pining. All of it. 
• Moments in canon where Elizabeth and Norrington have a connection, or almost-friendship.
• 5 times fic, or Elizabeth noticing Norrington/observing him when he's not looking.
• An AU where Elizabeth chooses Norrington over Will. What does her life look like?
• Total AU where Pirate King Elizabeth rules the seven seas and Commodore Norrington relentlessly pursues the girl he once proposed to/loved.
• Pre-canon stuff! When did he first notice Elizabeth, fall in love with her, etc. etc?
