idproquo letter
Dear Creator,
Sorry it's taken me so long to complete this letter! I hope this hasn't been a huge inconvenience to you.
I have used parts of previous letters to compose the body of this letter. If none of my ideas/prompts catch your attention, I'm totally fine with mixing and matching some of my tropes/likes/freeforms/etc. to come up with a story! I also may not have specific prompts for every pairing/fandom I've requested. If anything is confusing, or you have any questions or need clarification, you can reach me through the mods!
A lot of these fandoms and prompts/ideas are repeat requests, including fandoms I've already received amazing fic for. I really just love the fandom/idea to be requesting it again; it's not meant to be a slight against the authors or fic I've received in the past!
I'm open to treats! Fic and art for all.

What I Love: I'm currently really into gothic romance/gothic horror/horror of any stripe really. I also adore romcoms, enemies-to-lovers, difficult/complicated relationships, and questions with no easy answers. I love ambiguous/happy for now/sad endings, things that make me think, and are not necessarily tied up with a neat pretty bow.
My main DNWs are listed below. Exceptions will be noted:
DNWs:
• domestic violence/abuse
• violence against animals/animal death
• A/B/O, BDSM, and kneeling 'verses (fine with these tropes appearing as "one offs", not interested in universes structured around them)
• mpreg
• watersports/omorashi/scat
• mundane AUs (i.e. coffee shop, flower shop, cafe, high school/college, etc)
• vampire/werewolf AUs for non-supernatural fandoms/fandoms where they don't appear or exist (canon vampires/werewolves in supernatural-based fandoms are fine!)
• horror that centers on mental institutions/hospitals/etc.
• inclusion of current real world events (i.e. war in Ukraine, US politics/Trump, SCOTUS decisions, covid, etc.)
Stuff I Like:
• gothic/gothic romance/horror/ghost stories!!!
• southern gothic/midwestern gothic/suburban gothic/urban gothic/regional gothic in general
• space gothic (think Event Horizon and the Alien series)
• cosmic horror
• body horror
• monsters!!! sentient monsters!!! monsters that just wanna eat things!!!
• eldritch architecture/houses/houses that want to eat you
• eldritch nature/nature that wants to eat you
• eldritch spaceships/planets/etc. (that want to eat you)
• bodyswap
• gray morality/shady ethics/etc.
• forced/close proximity
• time travel/time loops/time fuckery

• miscommunication (within reason)
• poly/poly-v relationships
• enemies to lovers
• friends to lovers to enemies to lovers
• friends to enemies to lovers
• unhealthy/codependent relationships
• obsession/obsessive relationships
• relationships with a power imbalance (i.e. mentor/pupil, priest/parishioner, older partner/younger partner, queen/subject, etc.)
• power imbalances/power dynamics inverted (i.e. the student in the professor/student relationship has/gains the power, parishioner has/gains power over the priest, subject controls the queen, etc.)
• manipulation/mindgames (especially mutual manipulation/mindgames)
• characters facing/dealing with mortality (of their lives, their livelihoods, careers, etc.)
• age gap
• platonic soulmates
• amnesiafic
• epistolary/social media pastiche

• witchcraft/witches

Prompts/ideas:
Elle/Spencer
I love the idea that Elle becomes someone the BAU has to hunt, and how that affects Spencer and perhaps pushes him toward her in a way OR Elle becoming a ghost who continues to haunt the BAU or, specifically, Spencer.
Penelope/Hotch
I enjoy a good "Hotch was always an UNSUB" or "Hotch becomes an UNSUB after leaving the BAU" AU, but I also like undercover as a couple/married and the various ways that trope can go wrong. Maybe Hotch is wanted by the FBI and, desperate to clear his name, abducts Garcia to help in that.
If none of my ideas strikes you, please feel free to play with my tags/freeforms/likes/etc to come up with something!
Additional notes: I don't really care for mentions of past relationships, particularly those involving the pairs I've picked, but inclusion of other background/side relationships are fine. I'm also not interested in anything that focuses heavily on Garcia's body/body image.
I tend to leave art specifics up to the individual artist. The only thing I'm not really into is chibi art, but other than that anything goes.

Prompts/ideas:
I enjoyed Glass Onion and found myself intrigued by the Miles/Andi/Helen situation. A lot of Miles' motivation and behavior with Andi (and, in turn, Helen) seems motivated by personal issues rather than purely business related (I definitely felt the Zuck vibes in their interactions, as a once-close partnership/friendship(/or more) gone sour). Andi/Helen are paralleled with the Mona Lisa, which I found interesting, especially given Miles "borrows" it and displays it in his mansion, and his recklessness leads to the destruction of the painting (paralleling his killing of Andi and his attempted killing of Helen, only for Helen to succeed in ruining him). Anyway I found that dynamic intriguing! I'd love a further exploration of it either through post-canon, missing scene, or AU fic.
Does Miles go to prison? What if Helen visits him. Or maybe, if Miles doesn't go to prison, Helen and Miles accidentally run into each other years later. What happens then? Love the idea of them becoming mutually obsessed with each other.
If you're writing Andi/Miles, maybe something set pre-canon showing how they became friends (and more?) and the dissolution of their relationship. It seems like Miles did care for Andi in a way, and that gets sublimated through his "borrowing" of the painting and the parallels.
Also I found it amusing that, over the course of the movie, Miles got more and more broken down and ragged while Helen remained beautiful and vibrant (and Andi remains eternally youthful/preserved through her death). Dorian Gray comparisons anyone?
If none of my ideas strikes you, please feel free to play with my tags/freeforms/likes/etc to come up with something!
Additional notes: I'm fine with ambiguous/unhappy/happy for now endings. I don't mind if either of these pairs don't end up together in a HEA way. I'm also perfectly fine if Miles ends up miserable!

I'd love fic where Roman haunts Sid after Scream 3 or never died, and he seeks her out or she seeks him out. Some topes I like include forced proximity, relationship of convenience, road trips, one stalking the other (or both stalking each other), unhealthy sibling dynamics, obsessive sibling relationship, kidnapping/captivity, canon shift/what-if AUs, and more. What if Roman wasn't rejected by Maureen? What if Sid and Roman grew up together, and their relationship was just as messed up? What if Roman's presence in Sid's life influenced her in unforeseen ways? I also love the franchise's metahumor, so playing on that is a plus.

Additional notes: I don't mind if you handwave the Scream 3 plot twist where Roman orchestrated the murders in the original Scream. Also, no teens under 16 in NSFW situations, please.

TFW your enemy's ghost turns up wanting help but death hasn't made him any less of an asshole
Prompt/ideas:
What if Mirror Lorca survived somehow, or is resurrected on Discovery? Especially curious to see what would happen if either Original Lorca or Mirror Lorca ended up on Discovery during Pike's tenure?
They have some Hades/Persephone vibes going on that I subconsciously latched onto while watching the show (and adore) so leaning into the gothic romance tropes with these two is always appreciated. Maybe she does actually intend to stay with him instead of trying to trick him. How does that go for her? How does that go for Mirror Lorca? Does staying with him change Michael (for better or worse), or does it change Mirror Lorca?
I also got the strong sense that Mirror Georgiou was manipulating Michael to get her onto her side/turn her against Mirror Lorca... So that's my baseline for Michael/Mirror Lorca. What if Michael eventually finds out Georgiou lied to her about Lorca/his relationship with Mirror Michael? Does that change things?
With Burnham and Mirror Lorca, specifically, I don't want a redemption story where he learns how to be a good person and/or how to better himself. I would actually love to see a story where perhaps he works some of Michael's/the Federation's sunnier, kinder, more optimistic worldview into his own while remaining true to "himself." I'd love to see him struggle with having his worldview changed the more he's around prime Michael, and how he copes with that. (Or doesn't.)
(Nuanced/complicated takes on Mirrorverse are like catnip to me also, fwiw.)
If none of my ideas strikes you, please feel free to play with my tags/freeforms/likes/etc to come up with something!
Additional notes: Not into anything that implies Mirror Lorca abused Mirror Michael as a child.

Amnesia - Affected person assumes the other character(s) is their significant other
Hurt/Comfort - Technically awful attempts at comfort are actually very comforting
Hurt/Comfort - Character with injured hands requires assistance (which turns sexual)
Prompts/ideas:
What if Original Flavor Lorca finds his way back to the Discovery (either in an AU where Discovery didn't jump 900 years into the future, or Lorca himself ends up in the future). How do the crew members (especially Burnham) deal with his presence, especially if he's similar in temperament to Mirror Lorca?
Seasons 1 and 2 are my personal favorites from Discovery so all my prompts will focus on that era of the show. (Also it's safe to assume I prefer to pretend Mirror Lorca didn't die or comes back/is resurrected in some way.)
So, I'm going through a Disco resurgence and I'm freshly obsessed with any and all combination of Michael Burnham and Gabriel Lorca. Prime Lorca, Mirror Lorca, some other type of AU Lorca, whatever, throw him in with a Michael Burnham and I'll be satisfied.
I'm especially interested in a post-s1 AU where Prime Lorca finds his way onboard Discovery (Pike optional, but it would be kind of fun to see a prickly, traumatized, guilt-ridden Prime Lorca, freshly saved from the hellish mirror universe, having to interact with Chris "the jewel of Starfleet" Pike who had to sit out the war). How is Prime Lorca received on Discovery? Is Michael reluctant to trust him or does she power through her discomfort/grief/etc. because it's "illogical" to blame Prime Lorca for Mirror Lorca's actions? Does Prime Lorca feel displaced back in the prime universe? etc etc etc, so on and so forth. I really just want to see how these two grieving, emotionally wounded people might be able to come together despite the havoc Lorca's mirror self wreaked on Discovery and Michael in particular.
I also like the idea of Prime Lorca being rescued or turning up on Discovery, either in the future or an AU where Disco didn't jump 900+ years in the future. Are things awkward? Do he and Michael bond or do they initially dislike/distrust each other? How different is Prime Lorca from Mirror Lorca, if he's different at all...? It seems like one of the reasons Mirror Lorca was able to fool so many people who knew his prime counterpart is that they might not have been that different in temperament; if prime Lorca makes his way to the Discovery and the crew discover he's not that different, personality-wise, how would having him on board affect them given that this is supposedly the "good" one?
I could also see Lorca being put off by the age gap but still wanting Michael... and being stubbornly unwilling to pursue her due to propriety (while she grows increasingly frustrated at his inability to make a move). Does Michael have expectations of Prime Lorca based on the Mirror version that he shatters or lives up to?
I'm also interested in the idea that Original Lorca has to continue to pretend to be Mirror Lorca for some reason, or has to go undercover as him or as another alternate universe Lorca and how that affects his reception on the Discovery.
If none of my ideas strikes you, please feel free to play with my tags/freeforms/likes/etc to come up with something!

Prompts/ideas:
I'll take anything with Pike/Burnham focusing on their mutual respect and admiration for each other, perhaps another rescue, or they get stranded together and have to rely on each other for survival. I'd love canon compliant/canon adjacent codas/missing scene fics for New Eden and The Red Angel. I'm also into time loops/time travel fix-its (or time travel make-it-worse's), pining/mutual pining, and ambiguous or even sad endings given what happens to Pike in canon. I'm also into the idea of Pike ending up with Disco in the future.
I really enjoyed Michael and Captain Pike, and how respectful and appreciative they were of each other. They just seemed to click together, not even from a romantic perspective, and it's fun to imagine what could have happened if canon had gotten nudged a little to the left. (If you want you can set it as a deleted/missing scene from the show; if you do that I'd be interested, especially, in something set after New Eden and/or The Red Angel, and the characters dealing with the fallout from the events in either of those eps.)
Or... Maybe Michael finds a way to save Pike without breaking canon, or she DOES break canon and they have to deal with the ramifications...
Something with a focus on their mutual admiration for one another/each other's different skills and attributes would also be great.

Prompts/ideas:
I'm really into s6/Godstiel-era Destiel, so give me all the gothic romance/romantic horror (doesn't necessarily have to be set in that time period, I'm just really into the vibes)! I love canon-compliant/canon-adjacent fic, case fic, what if scenarios, (corrupted love/love that corrupts/etc., and all manner of gothic romance/romantic horror). I love the idea of one or both being obsessed with the other and how that complicates things for them and those in their orbit. I also like when they're on the outs with each other and/or their relationship is deteriorating and how that affects the cases they're working/how the cases they're working reflect the dysfunction in their relationship.
I'm also a big fan of 10x22 The Prisoner. What if Dean actually went through with killing Cas? How does he deal with the guilt and grief? And what if he was completely unaware Cas was resurrected...?
Take things as dark as you want.

I really dig the idea of Ruby as Sam's pet sociopath, trying to win his favor either during her canon run, a post-canon world where she was resurrected, or in an AU where she never died. I also like the idea of Ruby (1.0/Katie Cassidy) starting Sam on demon blood in S3, and how/if that changes things.
Also, what if Ruby possessed the bodies of Sam's loved ones (Bobby? Cas? Jo? Dean?) to fuck with him/break him down and get him on her side? I'm actually super into the idea of Ruby playing mind games with him and manipulating him through Dean's body. (If you go with Dean I'd prefer they don't have sex while she's in Dean's body, but everything else is fair game.)
I liked both versions of Ruby.
If none of my ideas strikes you, please feel free to play with my tags/freeforms/likes/etc to come up with something!
Additional notes: I'd prefer we ignore the canonical character death but I won't say no to a resurrection story either.
I tend to leave art specifics up to the individual artist. The only thing I'm not really into is chibi art, but other than that anything goes.
