         ◊ Time travel AU! Jack or Kent get zapped into the past and trying not to Butterfly Effect the universe and being unable to help themselves. What happens if Kent is able to keep Jack from overdosing? What happens if the epikegster went differently? Knock yourselves out.
         ◊ Groundhog Day AU, but from Jack's POV. Why does he keep reliving this one day in his relationship with Kent? How is it connected to the larger picture? How does Jack break the loop?
         ◊ Jack and Kent go to a team Halloween costume party.

    Final Girls - Riley Sager

    Quincy Carpenter (Final Girls - Sager)
    Samantha Boyd | Tina Stone (Final Girls - Sager)
    Coop (Final Girls - Sager)
    Jonah Thompson (Final Girls - Sager)


    Ships: Quincy/Samantha | Tina, Quincy/Coop, Quincy/Jonah (or platonic/friendship for all)

    Prompts/ideas:
         ◊ After the events of the book, Quincy visits Sam/Tina in prison.
         ◊ Deleted scene. Quincy and Sam/Tina steal a moment together.
         ◊ Sam/Tina manipulates Quincy into a relationship, intending to later use it against her, but starts falling for her.
         ◊ Quincy reveals to Sam/Tina she doesn't really like her life and/or doesn't really want to be with Jeff, her fiancé, and one thing leads to another.
         ◊ Quincy and Jonah get into a relationship or become friends. Does becoming close to a journalist provide problems for Quincy, who's used to being so secretive?
         ◊ After the events of the book, Quincy sells her story to Jonah but he feels she isn't telling him the whole truth. How does Quincy deal with having the intrepid reporter back on her trail?
         ◊ I'd be very interested in something pre-canon, set shortly after the events at Pine Cottage. In those early days, is Quincy's memory as unreliable as during the course of the novel? Does she become better about suppressing certain memories? Was she ever distrustful of Coop? He was obviously manipulating her for some time; did Quincy ever see signs about Coop she just chose to ignore?
         ◊ I was never convinced Quincy had romantic feelings toward Coop, though he was clearly obsessed with her from the start. How does that sort of imbalance play out over the course of their friendship.
         ◊ Post-canon. Coop haunts Quincy, either literally or figuratively. Maybe she goes back to Pine Cottage to pay her respects and sees him there—or only thinks she does. Is she able to help his ghost move on? Is he vengeful or regretful? Is he still obsessed with her?
         ◊ How does Quincy view Coop after the events of the book? Does she feel guilty for killing him?
         ◊ In the novel, Quincy and Coop have one night together, before Quincy learns the truth about Coop. How does she feel in the aftermath? Does she still care for him?
         ◊ Quincy and Coop exchange Christmas gifts. (Fluff, dark fluff, or no fluff at all. It's all good.)
         ◊ A 5+1 fic, like "5 times Quincy and Coop were perfect together and 1 time they weren't" (or the other way around), "5 times Quincy and Tina loved each other and 1 time they hated each other," etc.

    Art-wise, I'm not a fan of chibis but everything else goes. I try to leave the art to the discretion of the artist, but if you need more specifics please reach out to me through the mods and I'll get back to you ASAP.

    Gone Girl (2014)

    Nick Dunne (Gone Girl 2014)
    Amy Elliott Dunne (Gone Girl 2014)
    Margo Dunne (Gone Girl 2014)
    Rhonda Boney (Gone Girl 2014)
    Marybeth Elliott (Gone Girl 2014)


    Ships: Amy/Nick, Amy/Go, Nick/Margo (or friendship/platonic for all)

    Prompts/ideas:
         ◊ After the events of the movie, Amy and Nick cash in on the notoriety of the "kidnapping", with Amy becoming a motivational speaker and children's book author. With Amy being the sole breadwinner while Nick is now a stay-at-home dad, old resentments begin rearing their ugly heads...but now a baby is involved. Do Amy and Nick once again spiral into obsession, desire, and revenge? Or do their better natures (if they even have any) win out?
         ◊ A few years after the events of the movie, Amy's murder of Desi Collings unexpectedly comes to light. Would love a social media/epistolary take on this. Amy isn't going to go down without a fight, so does she try to take Nick down with her too? Or does Nick finally try to use the opportunity to get out of the marriage? I'd adore another cat-and-mouse chase between Amy and Nick. No preferences as to who is the "winner" at the end.
         ◊ Amy channels her murderous impulses into a baking/mommy vlog, and drags Nick into it—to disastrous results.
         ◊ After the events of the movie, Amy becomes a minor celebrity. And Nick becomes convinced she's taken a lover/lovers. Nick soon starts unraveling, and Amy decides to take drastic measures to protect herself.
         ◊ Post-movie. What about Amy's thoughts on their relationship and future after the movie. What does Amy expect to happen when she gives birth? Does she have other ways of keeping Nick in line? What happens when things don't go according to her plans?
         ◊ Post-movie. A few years down the line, Amy decides she's tired of Nick and their child. She can't divorce Nick because, as sole breadwinner, she would have to give him child support. So she starts plotting his murder. Does she succeed? Or is she foiled? (I'd really love something noirish, with a little dark humor.)
         ◊ Amy and Nick celebrate their first Halloween as parents.
         ◊ Amy and Nick celebrate their first Christmas as parents.
         ◊ Pre-movie. 5 moments Amy and Nick were wrong for each other and one moment they were just perfect. (Would love something that hints at the darkness within each.)
         ◊ Post-movie. Amy and Nick's child disappears and Nick immediately suspects Amy is behind it. But Amy insists she had nothing to do with it. Is she telling the truth? I'd actually love if Amy was orchestrating things behind the scenes but I'm not too picky about it. She doesn't have to be involved. Nick just has to think she is. If Amy isn't involved, who is behind it? Someone who knows the truth about Amy? Or is it someone else? (Nick and Amy's kid can be endangered but I'd prefer no real harm actually come to them.)
         ◊ Pre-movie. How Amy and Nick's wedding night really went.
         ◊ What happens to Nick and Go after the movie ends?
         ◊ Post-movie. Go has a strained relationship with Nick and Amy after the events of the movie. When Amy gives birth, Nick starts shutting her out of their lives...but why? Go investigates!
         ◊ Pre-movie. Five times Nick and Go didn't cross the line and one time they did.
         ◊ Urban Fantasy AU. Nick and Go are twins with psychic abilities. Then people start dying around them. Are they responsible?
         ◊ Fairytale AU. Nick and Go are left in the care of a hungry witch by neglectful parents. Are they able to outsmart the witch and escape? Or are they trapped with her?
         ◊ Pre-movie. Go visits Nick and Amy in New York and picks up on tension between them. Go's way of relieving tension causes problems between all three of them.
         ◊ Canon AU. After Amy disappears, instead of turning to his girlfriend, Nick turns to Go instead. Things go just as badly, if not worse.
         ◊ Post-movie. With Amy struggling with depression after the birth of the baby, Nick invites Go to stay with them and help out. Amy starts making paranoid accusations which explode in passionate, violent ways.
         ◊ After the movie, Amy finds herself bored with marriage and motherhood. Nick's sister, Go, seems ripe for the picking so Amy sets her sights on her. But Go has something up her sleeve.
         ◊ AU. Amy runs to Go instead of Desi.
         ◊ Future fic/AU. After the movie, a bit of evidence Amy forgot or overlooked is brought to light and she's eventually sent to prison for Desi's murder. Amy soon escapes and hides out in Go's house while she's on vacation, but Go comes back unexpectedly.
         ◊ Future fic. Go will do anything to get Amy out of her brother's and nephew's life. Even if it means seduction and blackmail. But Amy is always one step ahead of her... or is she?
         ◊ Post-movie. Boney remains suspicious of Amy and is determined to bring her down.
         ◊ Post-movie. Go wants to get revenge on Amy.
         ◊ Nick and Amy self-destruct together, but Go isn't going to let them bring their baby down with them. She kidnaps her nephew and goes on the run with him.
         ◊ Post-movie. Amy decides it's about time her mother start appreciating her.
         ◊ After the movie, Amy writes a book about her "ordeal," and goes on a tour with her mother, bringing them closer.

    Art-wise, I'm not a fan of chibis but everything else goes. I try to leave the art to the discretion of the artist, but if you need more specifics please reach out to me through the mods and I'll get back to you ASAP.

    Madame Giry (Le Fantôme de l'Opéra)


    Ships: Raoul/Christine, Erik/Giry, Raoul/Christine/Erik, Raoul/Christine & Erik, Christine/Erik, Christine/Carlotta (or platonic)

    Prompts/ideas:
         ◊ I would adore an exploration of Christine dealing with PTSD/mental health issues after her ordeal with the phantom.
         ◊ Raoul and Christine cope (badly) in the aftermath of their escape from the opera house.
         ◊ Was the Phantom real or is Christine suffering from delusions?
         ◊ Raoul and Christine cope with their ordeal with rough/dangerous sex.
         ◊ After their escape, Christine slowly slips into madness.
         ◊ For a time, Christine and Raoul are happy together. But it turns out their ghosts followed them from Paris.
         ◊ Christine stays with Erik.
         ◊ Erik's obsession with Christine can't be stopped. Not even by the grave.
         ◊ Modern AU! Erik is the creepy stalker type you see on Criminal Minds and Christine is an up-and-coming music star he's obsessed with.
         ◊ Future fic/AU. Twenty years later, Christine returns to the opera house to pay her respects to her beloved, almost certainly dead Angel of Music. But if Erik is dead, who is watching her—and waiting?
         ◊ Future fic/AU. Christine and Erik slowly find married life doesn't quite suit either of them as much as they'd hoped.
         ◊ Future fic/AU. Christine will tolerate no rivals for her Angel's attentions. (You're free to take this and interpret it however you want.)
         ◊ Erik forces Raoul and Christine to have sex in front of him so he can live vicariously through Raoul.
         ◊ After the events of the book/play/etc. Erik abducts Raoul and Christine.
         ◊ Christine and Raoul get an unwelcome guest at their wedding.
         ◊ AU. Christine dies and a desperate Raoul brings her corpse back to the opera house in the hopes that Erik can help.
         ◊ Erik is dead! So why does Christine still hear him whispering to her at night, while she's lying in bed next to her husband Raoul?
         ◊ Erik abducts Raoul and Christine and forces them to pick who will be tortured.
         ◊ AU. Christine and Raoul receive a mysterious guest at their baby's christening. Could it be the Phantom?
         ◊ Future fic/AU. Christine and Raoul finally take the honeymoon they've been putting off since they married. But when strange things start happening, they become convinced Erik has followed them.
         ◊ AU. Christine and Carlotta are rivals for the attention of the mysterious Angel of Music, and Carlotta will do anything to get Christine out of the way.
         ◊ Jealous of the attention Christine gets after her performance in Hannibal (or the gala performance, in the book) Carlotta plots her revenge.
         ◊ After Carlotta's performance in Il Muto (or Faust, if you go by book canon) is sabotaged, she blames Christine. Soon Carlotta and Christine engage in a game of cat-and-mouse. But who is the cat and who is the mouse?
         ◊ AU. Carlotta and Christine are involved in an unhealthy, unbalanced relationship with Carlotta having the upper hand. What happens when Christine tries to get Carlotta under her thumb?
         ◊ Give me something vaguely Oedipal, twisted, and tragic between Erik and Madame Giry (you can incorporate ALW movie elements here, as they leant on that relationship IIRC). The more gothic the better.
         ◊ Give me the sad Erik/Madame Giry soulmate AU where they don't/can't end up together. Maybe one of them (Giry?) rejects the bond, leaving both to suffer until Erik starts mentoring Christine. Maybe it's a soulmate mark AU, or a first words to each other AU. I'm really not too picky. It could be a tragic soulbond! (And likely will be considering the canon). Or it could be a what-if/divergence AU too.
         ◊ Missing scene/AU. Erik extracts a payment from Madame Giry too. (I'd love an unhealthy relationship with a power imbalance, but with the younger character (Erik) wielding the power over the older one (Giry).)

    Art-wise, I'm not a fan of chibis but everything else goes. I try to leave the art to the discretion of the artist, but if you need more specifics please reach out to me through the mods and I'll get back to you ASAP.

         ◊ Future fic/AU. A grieving Ichabod starts suffering death-defying accidents and he and Jenny begin to suspect it's a ghost... Turns out it's Abbie's lonely ghost.
         ◊ I'm still bitter about how Sleepy Hollow treated Abbie so I'd adore a fix-it of sorts where she comes back, perhaps pulling herself out of the underworld or being brought back through magic or something. Maybe Ichabod thinks she's an illusion or that he's hallucinating. How does Abbie convince him she's really back?
         ◊ A canon-typical mission/casefic that ~conveniently~ pushes Abbie and Ichabod closer? (Set during the first couple seasons/ignoring the latter seasons).
         ◊ Abbie and Ichabod having to dress up for a party/ball/Halloween/event/etc. and Ichabod having the "oh no she's hot!" moment we were robbed of when Abbie dressed up as Beyoncé for Halloween.
         ◊ Ichabod is the one who brings Abbie back, but something goes awry and she comes back wrong. Can he fix it? (Yes, yes he can.)
         ◊ Orrrr the darker version of the above prompt. Gothic romance would be great here.
         ◊ Abbie's ghost haunts Ichabod (without him realizing it's her) until someone brings in a ghost hunter and he finds out her identity. What if he doesn't want to help her move on?
         ◊ Abbie is reincarnated and she and Ichabod find each other.
         ◊ Abbie haunts Ichabod.
         ◊ Abbie and Ichabod meet again in the afterlife.
         ◊ AU where the ending to S3 never happened, and Abbie and Ichabod complete their mission as witnesses. Do they get a HEA? (Yes, please.)
         ◊ S4 AU where Abbie comes back.
         ◊ MOTW casefic featuring Abbie and Ichabod (feel free to bring in side characters too, if you want).
         ◊ Ichabod moves on, or so he thinks. But is Abbie back, is he being haunted, or is it something else?
         ◊ Abbie comes back as a vengeful spirit bent on exacting revenge on Ichabod and Jenny for letting her die.
         ◊ Zombies!!!
         ◊ Abbie and Ichabod have to go undercover to a Halloween costume party to find a ghost. (Ft. Ichabod having "oh no she's hot" panic when he sees Abbie in her costume.)

    Art-wise, I'm not a fan of chibis but everything else goes. I try to leave the art to the discretion of the artist, but if you need more specifics please reach out to me through the mods and I'll get back to you ASAP.

    Once again, I'd like to stress that my prompts/ideas are only suggestions! Don't feel constrained by them! Mix and match as you please, or come up with something completely on your own without my input. They're just meant as a guide.

    You can check out my other dear author letters here for a better idea of the kind of tropes I like! If you need any clarification please contact the mods (or reach out to me, if permitted).
