Dear Creator,
Hi! This is my first time doing this challenge and I'm really looking forward to it! (I'll probably be copying and pasting some stuff from previous letters here. You can find past letters here and here if you're interested.)
Please don't be intimidated by the size of the letter! The prompts and ideas are only suggestions! I'm totally fine with mixing and matching tropes/likes/kinks/etc. to come up with a story too!

What I Love: I'm currently really into gothic romance/gothic horror/horror of any stripe really. I also love ambiguous/happy for now/sad endings (though I am not opposed to happy endings in the slightest). I love things that make me think, and are not necessarily tied up with a neat pretty bow.
I love characters dealing with mortality (of their careers or their lives). I also dig found family/families of choice, pining, minor miscommunication, undercover as married, mistaken for dating, pretend dating, enemies to lovers, enemies to friends to lovers, friends to lovers, poly/poly-v relationships, popular clichéd tropes inverted (i.e. gay for you, married in Vegas, A/B/O, soulmates/soulmate marks, etc), meet-cutes/meet-uglies, and epistolary/use of social media pastiche (use of fake texts, tweets, facebook posts, emails, and more. This is a good example of what I mean here.)
My main DNWs are listed below. Exceptions will be noted:
DNWs:
• noncon
• underage
• violence against women (domestic violence or abuse, mostly)
• violence against animals/animal death
• A/B/O, BDSM, and kneeling 'verses (basically 'verses where the "switch" is always set to on)
• mpreg
• watersports/scat
• unrequested kinks, tropes, likes, etc. (unless otherwise mentioned)
• unrequested pairings (unless otherwise mentioned)
• mundane AUs (especially mundane AUs of fantasy/sci-fi/supernatural/etc. universes)
• vampire and werewolf AUs
Stuff I Like:
• gothic/gothic romance/horror/ghost stories!!!
• time travel/time loops/time fuckery
• pining
• miscommunication (within reason)
• poly/poly-v relationshps
• found family/families of choice
• undercover as married/pretend dating/accidental dating/fake marriage
• enemies to lovers
• enemies to friends to lovers
• popular clichéd tropes inverted
• amnesiafic
• epistolary/social media pastiche
• future fic
• casefic
• ensemble fic
• long-distance relationships
• complicated relationships
• power imbalances/power dynamics/power dynamics inverted

Fic and fan art for all fandoms!
The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo
Nikolai Lantsov/Alina Starkov
*I prefer any mentions of Alina/Mal to be firmly in the past.

Tricked Into Marriage
Political marriage but mutual pining
Prompts/ideas:
◊ AU. Alina and Nikolai enter an arranged marriage sight unseen. Both expect the marriage to be purely political but surprise feelings develop.
◊ AU. Alina and Nikolai are tricked into marrying through enchantment by a third party.
◊ Arranged marriage AU. Nikolai and Alina enter into a political marriage, both believing the other is only fulfilling their duty and thinking the pining is one-sided. It's not!
◊ AU. Believing Nikolai to be dying (he's not, just gravely ill or seriously wounded), Alina gives him a kiss—that instantly, magically binds both unsuspecting parties in marriage.
◊ AU/future-fic. Alina and Nikolai pretend to be married for a mission and soon develop real feelings despite themselves. Alina's reluctant to move on after Mal died at the end of the Grisha trilogy while Nikolai's been reluctant to act on his feelings, convinced they're one-sided. How do they grow into a truly loving relationship together?
◊ AU where Alina agrees to marry Nikolai, expecting a platonic, loveless marriage. How does Nikolai win her over?
Art-wise, I'm not a fan of chibis but everything else goes. I love fan art modeled after well-known works of art. I'd love something in the vein of Klimt's "The Kiss" or "Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss." Or maybe something with Nikolai and Alina in the style of Russian icons.

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).
