kangeikoDear Chocolate Box writer,
I am so thrilled to have you writing for me! I have pretty consistent tastes across fandoms, so I hope that some of the prompts below strike your fancy. Regardless, as long as you have fun writing, I guarantee that I will adore reading the fic! More likes and prompts re: my requests are below. Rest assured that every single request below is a bullet-proof link for me, so whatever we matched on, I am sure to devour & adore more fic for these characters. Happy writing!
DNW: explicit depictions of non-con/rape (refs to off-screen or backstory ok), mpreg, A/O/B or other similar tropes, character death, AUs that change that nature of the universe (eg mermen or coffee shop settings), but canon-divergent is fine. (Basically the closer to canon or the real world, the better.)
A clarifying note on DNWs: I’ve included very specific opt-out clauses on the DNWs below (specifically around sex pollen and temporary character death) if that strikes your fancy!
Likes: found-family tropes, first-times/ getting together, cocky guy is overworked & then looked after trope, enemies-to-lovers, enemies-against-the-world, “unlikeliest of saviours” tropes, “and there was only one bed / OMG there’s only one bed?!” tropes, confrontations after betrayal/perceived betrayal, apologies, realisations of attachment after screwing up, overwork & collapse h/c, stress & burnout h/c, power flips where the more powerful / arrogant character has to be looked after by the other (m/m ships only - I like my female characters 100% in charge please!), confessions due to blood loss / delirium, illness and taking care of someone / Nightingale trope, unlikely allies bound by circumstance, banter, heated discussions, ensemble fics, plot-driven fics, angst, all the h/c IN THE WORLD!, TEMPORARY (ie fixed by the end of the fic) character death (this is my exception to the character death DNW - basically as long as the character are still available to play with at the end of the fic, I’m happy).
NSFW likes: finger-sucking, over-stimulation, angry cocky guy brought to incoherency, power dynamics, hate sex, woman in charge (where f/m ships requested), visible marks (bites, bruises), rimming, flushing & visible signs of arousal, oral fixation, sex-pollen (whether acted on or not) and other dub-con-type scenarios where the power dynamic is flipped (ie the person who would generally have more power has it stripped away under the sex pollen or blood fever or whatever) - this is my one exception to the “no non-con” DNW, so if you want to go down that route, feel free!
Request 1: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Odo/Quark (ST DS9)
Fanfiction
Likes/Prompts:
I’d love to see an exploration of how these two get together, especially if it’s set after the Dominion occupation and Odo’s dalliance with the female Founder. How does Quark react? How does Odo apologise?
Alternatively, I’m always a sucker for the “Quark is hurt and - oh no! - Odo realised he has FEELINGS” trope. Essentially my headcanon is that Quark has figured out he has feelings for Odo but has decided that Odo doesn’t reciprocate them/it wouldn’t even occur to him to do so, and so we’re following Odo’s realisation of his own feelings & how he acts on them.
Things I love about these two: honestly, everything. I love the grumpiness, the reluctant camaraderie, them looking out for each other, Quark’s insight at the strangest of moments, Odo’s vulnerability especially when it comes to figuring out who he is, Quark’s sheer unapologetic single-minded pursuit of profit (unless sidetracked by the dreaded Feelings ™), how they’re viewed by the whole station, and of course, the blooper reel of Odo kissing Quark as he’s leaving the station.
Or - if you’re a book fan - maybe something based around Fallen Heroes (& Quark saving the day only to not be believed), or The Rules of Acquisition (I think - I may have remembered this wrong) where Quark and the other Ferengi are detained in Gallitep & Odo has to argue to rescue him?
Request 2: Star Trek: Voyager
Kathryn Janeway/Tom Paris (Star Trek: Voyager)
The Doctor (Star Trek) & Tom Paris (Star Trek: Voyager)
Fanfiction
Likes/Prompts:
Kathryn Janeway/Tom Paris (Star Trek: Voyager)
So, the whole idea that this was the original intended ship on VOY is intriguing to me. We have a LOT of hands-on scenes early in the show, Janeway keeping a hand on Paris’s shoulder, protecting him when he collapses, and generally treating him as her own personal project. But then, we have 30 Days and I just… I don’t know, I feel like Tom’s past was very quickly sanitised by the show and the whole crew became one big, happy family almost immediately. I’d love to see an exploration of these two getting together - either during the show’s run or afterwards - and all the complications that would cause. (Please don’t kill off B’Elanna, I’d much prefer them either not having got together in the first place or split up - Paris/Torres is another ship of mine so I’m very fond of B’Elanna’s character.)
Alternatively, having Tom experience a MUCH stronger reaction to being incarcerated in 30 Days would also be welcome, whether shippy or just with sexual tension. Or - I love the overworked cocky guy trope here - Tom goes too far in trying to juggle his various commitments and duties and Janeway has to step in?
Honestly, I love these two, so even if you decide to go down the Threshold / lizard babies route, I’d be on board.
The Doctor (Star Trek) & Tom Paris (Star Trek: Voyager)
I find the Doctor’s visible hostility to Tom fascinating, especially as they would have worked together extensively. I’d love for a look at their relationship & how it could improve. Maybe a medical emergency makes the Doctor see Paris in a new light? Maybe it’s Tom that is ill or injured and the Doctor is working around the clock to try to save him (a landing party mission goes awry and the Doctor has limited resources at his disposal?) or maybe - again, the overworked cocky trope - Tom starts to buckle under the strain of something (30 Days? A constant need to be on duty - like the 33 minutes of BSG where they’re constantly under attack - leading to stimulant use? Another situation where they are deprived of sleep?) and the Doctor has to step in. Basically forcing the Doctor to amend his bedside manner when it comes to Paris is my jam.
Request 3: Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game)
Emhyr var Emreis/Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher (Video Game))
Fanfiction
Likes/Prompts: honestly, this plays into my “guy in charge is massively overworked & starts to buckle under the strain & needs h/c” kink. I’d love to have Emhyr under immense strain - either physical or mental - and to have Geralt helpless to do anything but try to offer hesitant h/c. Maybe the whole realm has been attacked by a Big Bad and Emhyr is trying to organise the defence? Maybe he has been injured & is working despite that? Maybe Geralt is hired to protect him after assassins got a little too close & he’s injured? Maybe it’s straight-up sex pollen? Honestly any first-time fic for these would be adored.
Request 4: Babylon 5
Alfred Bester/Michael Garibaldi (Babylon 5)
Alfred Bester & Michael Garibaldi (Babylon 5)
Fanfiction
Likes/prompts: oh, my messed-up beloved ship, how I adore thee! OK, so I know I’m not asking for the easiest of ships here, which is why I also added the & option. Basically I’d love to see a power flip here within the realms of canon (somehow!) -
maybe Bester’s alliance with B5 comes to light and he has to seek refuge on board?
Maybe he’s targeted during Dust to Dust for his valuable DNA and Garibaldi has to protect him?
Maybe Bester discovers a plot that would threaten B5 and has to visibly switch sides & take action?
Maybe the Asimov is much more mutual than originally intended?
Or, hell, just pour sex pollen on them, honestly I’d be thrilled with whatever you come up with. There is so little for this ship out there that I eagerly read & reread the existing fics on a pretty regular basis to get my fix.
Request 5: DCU (Comics)
Edward Nygma/Joker (DCU (Comics))
Bruce Wayne/Joker (DCU (Comics))
Fanfiction
Likes/prompts:
Edward Nygma/Joker (DCU (Comics))
Oddly specific prompt is oddly specific! I loved the Riddler’s obsession with Joker in The War of Jokes and Riddles and would love to see that explored further. Maybe the Joker pays the Riddler a visit during their mutual incarceration in Arkham? Maybe the Joker is more seriously injured during that fight and the Riddler ends up protecting him? Honestly anything with the Riddler’s interest in the Joker, whether reciprocated or not, would be great.
Bruce Wayne/Joker (DCU (Comics))
Anything comic-based on B:TAS would be welcome! (I’m not really a fan of the film-verse or the various video games versions of the characters). Maybe something during the Europa trip? Or following TWOJAR & the rebirth storyline? I’m not a fan of the whole face-removal stuff so, um, please no gross faceless Joker. But other than that I’m game for anything! Maybe Batman is seriously injured/about to be killed & the Joker ends up fighting alongside him somehow? Or Batman is - gasp - killed and a strangely destroyed & grieving Joker ends up on a quest to (successfully) bring him back somehow?
Request 6: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Severus Snape & Sirius Black (Harry Potter)
Severus Snape/Sirius Black (Harry Potter)
Fanfiction
Likes/prompts:
See above re: enemies-to-lovers and how I am trash for this trope. Snape is one of my favourite characters, ergo I want him to suffer. Overwork? Check. Physically injured? Check. Mental strain of it all? Check. Dragon pox or the bloody measles? Check check and check. Basically ill/injured Snape and a reluctant Black taking care of him is my jam, whether shippy or no. Maybe Snape is injured during a mission and he has to recuperate at Grimmauld Place? Maybe he ends up protecting Harry from some threat & is injured in his place? Whatever you like. Things I love about these two: their history and seething hatred of each other, being forced to shake hands (honestly Sirius being forced to be decent to a (relatively helpless) Snape is a bullet-proof link of mine), the sheer volume of crap they’ve visited on each other, how everyone is 100000% done with them acting like teenagers even though they’re grown men, etc etc. I’m more interested in them as adults and during the HP series than them as teens or pre-Snape’s defection, and I am 1000% ok with “and everyone magically lives!” approaches to OotP and/or DH - maybe Sirius falls out of the Veil & Snape survived Nagini’s bite? Etc etc. Or set it during POA/GOF/OOTP and I’ll be happy.
Weirdly specific NSFW link is weirdly specific: if going down the smutty route, I’d ask that you put Snape on the bottom, and/or have him be the subject of the “incoherent through overstimulation” element, simply because I cannot get enough of someone making a complete helpless wreck of him.
Request 7: Agent Carter (TV)
Daniel Sousa/Jack Thompson/Peggy Carter
Daniel Sousa & Jack Thompson & Peggy Carter
Jack Thompson & Peggy Carter
Fanfiction
Likes/prompts: Jack lives! I will not hear any argument otherwise.
As you can tell, I find Jack fascinating, and I am gutted that his redemption arc was cut short through the show’s cancellation. I’d love to see the development of the relationships with Daniel and Peggy (and this is my OT3 so if you’re a shipper, I’d love to see them getting together). Unsurprisingly, I love injured!Jack, vulnerable!Jack telling Daniel about what really happened during the war, slow recovery from illness/injury and worry on the part of Daniel and Peggy, slow realisation of feelings, figuring out how they fit together, Jack feeling like he’s a ‘guest star’ and being convinced otherwise by Daniel & Peggy, basically anything where we see more of vulnerable!Jack, in-charge!Peggy and competent!Daniel would be awesome.
Request 8: Veronica Mars (TV)
Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie/Dick Casablancas
Don Lamb/Veronica Mars
Fanfiction
Likes/prompts:
Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie/Dick Casablancas
A getting-together fic for these two would be AMAZING. Putting either of them in peril & having the other be the unlikely hero is my jam. Maybe Dick descends into depression / alcoholism after Cassidy’s death and Mac is the only one who can connect with him & mutual support goes further? Maybe Mac is put in danger during one of the Mars investigations and Dick is the unlikely (& unexpected) saviour? Maybe they’re both in danger and trying to survive the night?
I’m happy with anything set during S1-3 and the movie, but I haven’t watched S4 and (having read spoilers) it is as ashes in my mouth and I don’t plan to. So the film is the limits of my acknowledgement of canon.
Don Lamb/Veronica Mars
So… Don doesn’t die, he’s just in a coma. He wakes up years later (around the movie setting?) and SURPRISE, it’s many years later. I’d love the idea of him slowly trying to figure out this new world he has woken up in, of Veronica as someone who is now an adult and who has figured out her place in the world (& Neptune) and Lamb being the one who is uncertain and trying to figure stuff out.
Alternatively, go full Wow Wrong Bad Hot (once Veronica is of age please!) with consensual bad choices all around and trying to figure stuff out afterwards.

I love CC, and therefore I love seeing her suffer. Not the comedy (!) suffering of the show (although, when have broken limbs ever been funny?) but the semi-realistic pain that would come along with that. Although I love these two together, I’d love to see a more realistic fall-out of one of their pranks. I mean, the afore-mentioned broken limbs would be 1) painful, 2) very difficult to cope with, 3) take weeks, if not months, to heal. I get the comedy effect of “oh, Niles will pick up after you during that time” but, um, that’s very intimate care-giving. Would CC really be ok with that? Or would she try to struggle on by herself & end up in a worse position?
Alternatively, CC has canonical mental health issues, that are - again - played for comedic effect and - again - I’d love to see a more realistic take on them. She has a full on break with reality! Does Niles visit her during her convalescence? Does she have any (non-comedic) relapses? Any lingering side-effects? Also, how the hell can we continue to treat her breakdown as a comedy when - ok, you know what, that’s a rant for a whole other place. Basically I’m happy with anything here, as long as it isn’t comedy pianos on heads or “oops! She had a full breakdown, LOL”.
