Dear Chocolatier
7 Jan 2022 08:44 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
thisbluespiritThank you for creating something for me! I love all kinds of different things at different times, I love these fandoms and characters, and I'm sure I'll enjoy what you come up with.
I have requested all fanfiction, but if anyone is looking to make art treats, I would be a very delighted recipient! I cannot draw and almost all of my ships are really rare so pretty much anything would be completely adored.
Any prompts are intended purely for inspiration, not to restrict your choices. Take what's useful and leave what isn't.
Likes: hurt/comfort, forced to work together, x times format, apocalypse, crack played straight, comedy of manners/cultural differences, canon divergence AUs, historical/fantasy/supernatural AUs, rescues, fantasy, history, mystery, ghosts, time travel, time loops, crossovers, banter, humour, tropes, trope subversion.
Generally, I love sensible people dealing with tropey stuff or fantastical things they never asked for, tropey fake/accidental/convenient marriage scenarios, trapped together, or landed in unexpected scenarios, whether serious or humorous, but I also love my chosen canons and will be very happy with non-tropey canon-typical missing episodes/case fic/scenes etc. and character moments for my chosen ships.
Ship-wise, I tend to prefer the implicit over explicit - emotions, touch/sensation, first times, undressing, hands, historical costumes, kissing, love conveyed by actions over words, but, honestly, whatever seems right for the characters in question is the most important thing & I'm fine if that includes sex. It's just that a full on PWP is going to be tragically wasted on me. If you're giving me shippy stuff for my romantic pairings, then ♥, and if you're giving me character moments and time with my platonic ships, which I'm generally just as intense about, then also ♥
DNWs: rapid/excessive over-eating (e.g. eating competitions, sudden insatiable hunger, eating multiple meals in a row, being forcibly drowned by drink etc.), character bashing, genderswap, age regression, incest, rape, explicit porn without plot, issuefic, non-canonical body horror/unexpected physical transformations, non-canonical headcanons for canon characters, a/b/o.
(If a DNW is also present in the canon, though, references are generally fine - canon is canon - just avoid heavy focus on that aspect, but see individual fandom sections.)
I enjoy other setting AUs a lot, but not in all fandoms, so check my fandom-specific DNWs.

thisbluespirit at AO3 and pretty much everywhere else I hang out. I have a dear author tag for exchange letters.
Happy creating!
2. Doctor Who (1963)
Fifth Doctor/Tegan Jovanka
Anything featuring one emotionally repressed 800-year-ish old Time Lord and his stubborn, loyal, tell-it-like-it-is-and-then-some Australian air-stewardess will make me very happy. We all know what it means when two people argue like that in the 1980s. (I once made a manifesto for Five/Tegan, if you want any more of my rambling thoughts.)
- trapped together, fake dating/marriage of convenience, altered reality, hurt/comfort, missing scenes, rescues
I enjoy all of Five's era, so am good with anyone and anything else from it turning up!
Fandom DNW: Please no major focus on the new Timeless Child mythology (anything else from Thirteen's era, if it came up, is fine, though!)
DW is one of the fandoms where I prefer no other setting AUs. (Canon divergence & crossovers fine, but in general for Regency or Pirates or whatever, the TARDIS can take us there.)
I'm also a LOT less familiar with Five-era BF than I am with other eras & not overly convinced by the 'gaps' the non-Tegan ones are set in, sadly, so please keep to TV canon, or at least nothing I need to have heard the audio to understand/too spoilery for the Tegan ones (which I do hope to listen to!). (I have heard The Gathering, Time in Office & I think maybe 2 of the first trilogy they did with Tegan, Turlough & Nyssa? Plus Loups-Garoux, The Veiled Leopard & Spare Parts. Feel free to use anything from those! Especially a fic where Tegan and Five actually DO get married for the Gallifreyan green card, because that was too amazing an idea to throw away like that.)
Dracula (TV 1968)
Mina Harker/John Seward
Mina Harker/John Seward/Lucy Weston
Jonathan Harker/Mina Harker/John Seward
I love this old version of Dracula, and I love that it ships pretty much everyone. Mina and John are my faves, but I like everyone, and these are some combinations I would enjoy very much!
Prompts - AU where it's some other supernatural thing going on (whether magic or ghosts or Villages of Evil or whatever); post-canon John/Mina or Jonathan/Mina/John - whether recovering, having further adventures, or dealing with Mina still maybe being a vampire/Jonathan still being infected; or post-canon (AU?) with Mina/John/Lucy instead; Other setting AUs - this is one canon I'd be delighted to find translated into unlikely settings. How would it go? (Dr Seward should probably still faint, though. Even in a coffee-shop.)
I once requested this for Just Married and am still in love with some of the freeform-prompts, like "about to Marry Someone Else But Dead Previous Spouse is Actually Alive or Accidentally Included Unwitting Third Party In Marriage or Resurrection Ritual Requires Marriage" if any of them take your fancy as well.
5. Sapphire & Steel
Sapphire/Silver/Steel
Sapphire & Silver & Steel
Whatever way you look at them, I love them working together and flirting in the weird inhuman elemental way that you do, so either take is wonderful. A6 as well would suggest that they're the most effective team up the 'elements' (or whatever they are) have when they're all working together. I love the ship, the three of them, and all the component ships that it encompasses. I also adore pretty much all elements in any way, so anything you create here will be lovely.
time, other-than-sex intimacy, missing scenes, hurt/comfort, rescues from weird peril, Silver annoying Steel, ghosts, outsider POV on humans, elemental weirdness, elemental gossip, time loops, subverting cliches, lost things
Copper & Silver
I love elemental gossip & speculating about other elements, and I love Silver, so of course, I'm here for any and all takes on what the deal is with Silver & Copper that we hear about in A1. (The only thing I wouldn't want is the kind of thing where someone pairs up Copper/Silver in a now-Silver-has-his-own-partner sort of way, because even aside from my OT3 shipper heart being broken, I just don't see elements working in that sort of human way, not really. Even Sapphire/Steel doesn't seem as completely self-contained as that and we are told that they're unusually consistently paired. Which is why I requested Copper & Silver, but I am happy with Copper/Silver too, if it took your fancy - as long as it's not in an anti-OT3 way.)
Fandom DNW: Evil Silver, other setting AUs, making elements permanently human.
6. The Shadow of the Tower
This is my emotional support ancient BBC historical series! (What can I say?) Anyway, in short the BBC suckered me into a cardboard 1970s series about Henry VII and made me ship Henry/Elizabeth. I also want All The Things generally, and find this Henry fascinating like more Jasper, and more Margaret, and sort of slashy/mirroring conspirator vibes, and Magic AUs. (It feels so much as if it would take only the smallest push in that direction for canon itself to have magic/supernatural elements.)
Elizabeth of York/Henry VII
I love the understated dynamics here - arranged marriage, trust issues, and the way that Elizabeth is the only to start to understand Henry in Episode 1 and her decision, and that, at the end, she's the one who's simultaneously powerless and more powerful (and then the BBC broke my heart).
Henry VII & Jasper Tudor, Margaret Beaufort & Henry VII, Margaret Beaufort & Elizabeth of York & Henry VII
Because of the emphasis on all the conspiracies we frequently don't get to see enough of the people closest to him, like Elizabeth and Margaret. Margaret is fascinating & her relationship with Henry is this can be intriguingly brittle in some moments. Plus I'd love more Jasper, including pre-series in exile - how did that go in this version?
Henry VII & Perkin Warbeck, Henry VII & John de la Pole Earl of Lincoln
I also love the way Henry identifies himself with the other would-be usurpers (no matter what he tells himself) or that they mirror him & are both a bit obsessed with him. - Lincoln has Henry Tudor in his very heart, and Perkin fantasises about him in the Tower. It also seems kind of slashy, especially with Lincoln, so I'm happy to have that kind of vibe to it, too. Because so does canon!
Prompts - trust issues (I mean that's the whole series), hurt comfort, missing scenes/years, pre-canon with Jasper, post-canon, Canon AUs, Magic/Supernatual AU or fusion, space AU, any other setting AU, incidents from Henry's account books turned into missing scenes, mirroring with Perkin or Lincoln & all that goes with it, he gave her a lion, dreams, five times, heavy is the head etc. etc.
I want all the things, and if you're here to write me something this obscure, you can't really go wrong.
Fandom DNW: please avoid any of the Richard III controversy (like canon); Henry/Catherine Gordon (or any other het ship during his time with Elizabeth).
8. Star Wars Prequel Triogy
Padme Amidala/Obi Wan-Kenobi
I love this pairing and I love all the worldbuilding and settings of the Prequel Trilogy. It can only really exist in AUs - but such a pretty AU, and so fascinating! I love both characters and think they really go well together, or could if things had only gone a little different, and shipped it ever since I first saw AotC when it came out.
canon divergence AUs, Padme lives!, hurt/comfort, diplomatic missions, discovering beautiful/ancient/strange worlds, Padme's fabulous outfits, assassination attempts, historical/fantasy AUs (I like the setting too much for mundane AUs, but shifting the dial slightly to history/magic is great), fake relationship/pretend marriage
I'd prefer Canon AUs or Padme/Obi-Wan post-canon (or slotted between PM & AotC) rather than active infidelity, & no Anakin-bashing (but things like Padme/Anakin being due to accidental force whammy are fine, though.)
Welcome to Our Village Please Invade Carefully
The Computer & Uljabaan
Lucy & the Computer
Katrina/Uljabaan, Katrina & Uljabaan
Katrina & Margaret & Richard
Katrina & Lucy
I really loved this radio comedy, so I just want more of everyone really! I keep trying to think of sensible prompts, but since my prompts tend to random crack/tropes and canon here is kind of all that already, I just want... more of all these combinations. Of everything!
I love the Computer and Lucy and Uljabaan both have great interactions with it, so that would be delightful, generally. More hobbies, accidental rebellion/anarchy, whose-side-are-you-on etc. and jokes involving things like the Virus or the Printer.
For Uljabaan & Katrina, or Uljabaan/Katrina - well, romance is a way that humans win over their enemies, right? For research/resistance! What could go wrong? (I ship it but I don't and I do, if you know what I mean...) Katrina having to join forces Uljabaan despite everything is always fun or indeed when he co-opts her anyway, or just their general thwarting of each other and themselves by turn.
I love Lucy and how she grows over the two series (our real heroine, y/y?) and also her filking and her and Katrina's efforts together.
The Lyons family and their different approaches to the situation and each other would also be great - Katrina's rebellion, Richard's, er, sort of support (& novel-writing), Margaret's tendency to village domination and cake-bribery and being pragmatic about the situation.
As I said, I just greedily want more of the usual here, so have fun with whatever you do.
DNW: Other setting AUs; I am here for one (1) invaded tiny Bucks village and its alien overlords. I also can't really imagine wanting fic where Uljabaan has to go home, either.
If I have not included enough specific ficlet-y type prompts here, then have my favourite random generator. (Simply type in the relevant characters for the pairing we matched on and receive tropey prompts - it's very adjustable.)
I have requested all fanfiction, but if anyone is looking to make art treats, I would be a very delighted recipient! I cannot draw and almost all of my ships are really rare so pretty much anything would be completely adored.
