[personal profile] everysecondtuesday

Hi! I love all of the fandoms and characters I'm requesting, so if something is longer or shorter than its counterparts, it's due to how much I had to say, not how much I love the request.

If you've written or drawn for me before, my likes and DNWs have changed a bit, so please make sure you're looking at the right letter or are looking at the AO3 requests.

As ever and always, I would like to emphasize, please don't feel obligated to read this letter in its entirety (or at all!). If you already have an idea of what you want to do from just the AO3 requests, go for it! This is all to (I hope) make it easier on you, and I am a big believer in optional details being optional. There being works for my faves will make me happy. Everything else is icing on delicious, delicious cake.

If I flub the letter writing and editing process and mention something in my letter that is not on AO3 and in my sign-ups or if I phrase something poorly, I'd also like to emphasize that that's on me and you're free to pretend you didn't see it (or to ask the mods if you're still concerned). My DNWs for this exchange are all listed under DNWs in my optional details on AO3. If it's something not listed under DNWs, then that's a preference, but I'm still going to read/look at and comment on your work and (if history is anything to judge) be really happy with it.

For ease of finding me: [archiveofourown.org profile] tuesday.

What I can write and what I want as a gift can differ, so for best results, please rely on my likes and DNWs over what you may find on my AO3 works page.

General Notes

On past gifts

I've received works in the past for several of my requested fandoms, which I loved! I just want more. If you matched me on it, I am sure I will love whatever you make me, whether it's along the lines of the gifts I've already received or something entirely new.

On other gifts

I am always open to treats and late gifts, though please check my more recent DNWs. If you want to treat with mediums I haven't requested, I'm open to that for visual mediums, games, vids, and text.

Format Likes

I like all ratings for works, from General Audiences to Explicit. For this exchange, for fic, I'm open to any length over 500 words, from flash fiction to just over the min to sprawling epics. I like both traditional fic and non-traditional and experimental formats, including interactive fiction, CYOA, epistolary, and multimedia (I've specifically opted into Medium Opt-In: Any In-Universe Documents That Fit the Canon Setting, IF, and CYOA in all requested fandoms and would be thrilled with a mix and match of any requested medium opt-in). I prefer past or present tense. I generally prefer third person (especially consistent third person limited where POV shift only happens in scene breaks or doesn't happen at all) or a match to canon (which in some cases is going to be first or second) or a match to the standards of the form (e.g. first person for epistolary, letters, and journals; second person for CYOA and IF). (I'm open to everything! These are just preferences.)

Art Likes

I like rough sketches and clean line art both, bright and dark colors to set mood, comics, scenery, single and group character poses, the cute and the creepy. All stages, all skill levels, all types, I always like seeing what someone else comes up with. Go as E- or G-rated as you'd like. I especially like character expressions and things that set mood (color, body language, composition, etc). I also like details in clothing, jewelry, and hairstyles and hair ribbons and fancy hair pieces where appropriate (e.g. fancy weddings including fancy clothes). I'm including some pose ideas if you want to include more than the prompted one or to treat some of the fic prompts, but please don't feel like you need to include any of them.

For shipping purposes, some non-explicit poses I especially like for ships are characters kissing (on the mouth, the temple, the top of the head, hands, the cheek, etc), holding hands, hugging, carrying each other (princess carry, fireman, piggyback, shoulder rides), and pressing their foreheads together.

For explicit poses, feel free to take anything from my smut likes, but for something visual, I especially like bruises and marks, bondage, face touching or holding hands or other visual forms of intimacy and affection while fucking (and also just in general), and hair-petting or pulling.

Vid Likes

I love all vids! I am good with any level of shippiness. I am willing to put on my ship goggles for all requested ships and take them off for anyone else who appears, so please don't worry about making them too shippy or not shippy enough.

While I'm listing songs with some of these requests, they are very optional suggestions for if you have no ideas and to give a minor glimpse into what I like, not something I'm expecting.

My preferences for favorites in vids tend toward not including audio clips from the source or added text, but I've loved a lot of things that do that and enjoyed in general a number of others, too, so that's not a no on those things, just a "if you're really trying hard to tailor, this is about the only pattern I could discern from what I've loved best in the past and even it's not any sort of hard line or actual dislike." I like character studies and shippiness and action and vid AUs and thoughtful explorations of themes and those crack vids that take a funny audio source and smash it up with another canon and pretty much every sort of vid I can think of. I have not met a type of vid I did not like.

Besides my DNWs, for music, I am very easily led into loving a song by it accompanying a vid I like, but some music types I particularly enjoy include pop (modern and anything back to the 60s), dance music, trance, techno, rock, alternative, hip hop, folk, indie, orchestral, and metal along the lines of Savatage or Nightwish (more symphonic than thrash). I'm okay with music in any language or without vocals. If there's a particular artist or song you love, I am ready to be sold on it if I'm not there already. Also, it doesn't have to include music! As I said, I am all for those short crack vids that take audio from something else (or for a more serious take on that, too).

Freeform exchange letters:

If you're still looking for ideas to add to the freeforms I requested, I have freeforms for themed exchanges that I would be happy to see brought over to any of these fandoms where they wouldn't contradict a current DNW (the biggest thing I can think of is please avoid the dub-con tags).

DNWS

General DNWs:

  • Comas and unrequested real life serious illness.
  • Graphic, descriptive eye trauma.
  • Death of pets, things that could be pets (e.g. cats, dogs), or other beloved animals (e.g. Little Apple). (References to canon are fine. Outright exception: for DF and DF crossovers, non-pet, unbonded animals that could be pets can die so long as it's not by human, dwarf, or elf hands. But still not Little Apple, please.)
  • Hopelessly unhappy endings. (Exception: DF & DF crossovers, vids.)
  • AUs in which canon universes with fantastical elements (magic, chakra, super powers, the Force) have said fantastical elements removed without anything equivalent to replace it and are turned entirely mundane.
  • Gender-related dysphoria. (Dysphoria unrelated to gender is fine.)
  • Pregnancy of trans men. (Other mpreg welcome.)
  • Unrequited love of requested romantic ships. (Exceptions: DF ships; Lan Wangji->Wei Wuxian if it's never brought up and assumed in the background; Nie Huaisang->Wei Wuxian in a Nie Huaisang pov fic focused on him; vids except Guy/Kakashi.)
  • Focus on unrequested ships. (Exceptions: Sakura ships, DF.)
  • Infidelity, characters thinking they're engaged in infidelity, or major focus on/long scenes in which characters think the other character is being unfaithful. (References to canon infidelity is fine, as is Jin Guangyao/Nie Huaisang taking place while Jin Guangyao is married to Qin Su, though please don't make the fact it's infidelity the focus.)
  • Romantic or sexual relationships between adults and minors or references to this. Adults being explicitly sexually attracted to people who are currently underage. Explicit underage sex.
  • Dubcon, noncon, rapeplay, characters thinking sex they engaged in might have been rape, or anything implying any of this. Sexual harassment or menacing.
  • Traumatic sex or sex-related trauma.
  • Memory issues related to sex. (Memory issues not related to sex are fine.)
  • Sex with someone drugged to the point of unconsciousness even if consensual.
  • The spelling "cum" (as opposed to "come").
  • Contract or 24/7 BDSM or use of the word "master" in a sexual context.
  • Painplay as a punishment or unintended and/or unwelcome sexual arousal from a punishment or torture.
  • Anal without any sort of prep. Anal tearing. Women on the receiving end of anal.
  • Daddy/mommy kink.
  • Art or other visual mediums with strobing effects/rapid bright flashing lights.
  • Recipes that require meat or meat byproducts. (Recipes that can use substitutions are fine, like subbing shortening for lard or being able to use "chikn" strips in place of chicken or chef's choice of protein.)

Additional Vid DNWs:

  • Gangster rap, dubstep, or the type of country that's heavy on twanging, nasal singing. (Other types of rap and country welcome.)
  • Outside clips that include real life crimes or tragedies.
  • Outside clips that include clearly visible on-screen naked dicks. (I'm not expecting it, but this DNW is on the very off-chance someone wants to include porn clips. Clothed dicks, dicks inside of people that we don't clearly see, dicks hidden by legs, etc. are all fine, but I don't want to see a naked penis front and center. I am also perfectly happy to have a SFW vid and/or a vid with only canon visuals.)

Crossover DNWs:

  • Death of A-Yuan, other children, or Lan Wangji.
  • Explicitly permanent death of Wei Wuxian. (Temporary is fine, canon or otherwise, as well as killing him with the implication he may come back later as in canon. So long as you don't say he's not coming back and it's prior to the Mo Xuanyu incident and something hasn't happened to make it so the MXY thing can't happen, I will assume Wei Wuxian is coming back.)
  • Break-up of wangxian. (Divergence in which they're never together or open relationship are both fine.)
  • Lan Wangji in a relationship without Wei Wuxian.
  • On-screen dog attack of Wei Wuxian.

Dwarf Fortress DNWs:

  • No fandom specific DF DNWs. Reminder that anyone can die in DF except pets, and please no creatures that could be pets dying directly by dwarf, human, or elf hands. You can also have unhappy endings and unrequited love!

Naruto DNWs:

  • Boruto canon.
  • Permanent noncanonical character death of canon characters. (Killing villains who died in different ways is fine. Killing OCs is fine. Temporary character death is fine.)
  • Any mention of Neji dying.
  • Summons deaths.
  • Sakura/Naruto, Sakura/Sasuke, Sakura/Kakashi, Sakura/Guy. (References to early canon crushes are fine.)

Modao Zushi/Untamed DNWs:

  • Permanent noncanonical character death of canon characters. (Killing villains who died in different ways is fine. Killing OCs is fine. Temporary character death is fine.)
  • Break-up of wangxian. (Divergence in which they're never together or open relationship are both fine.)
  • Lan Wangji in a relationship without Wei Wuxian.
  • On-screen dog attack.

Scum Villain's Self-Saving System DNWs:

  • MBJ ships without SQH, even in the background.
  • Character death of: ZZL. (If you're going with post-canon, please either don't mention him or pretend with me that he definitely survived.)
  • Permanent character death of: Airplane Bro!SQH, MBJ (any), Bingmei, Shen Yuan, SV!verse LQG, NYY (any). (Temporary character death is fine, both canon and not.)
  • Breaking up SQH/MBJ or SQQ/LBH if they're already together. (Divergence in which they're never together or open relationship are both fine.)

DNW Clarifications and Explications:

Dubcon, noncon, rapeplay, characters thinking sex they engaged in might have been rape, or anything implying any of this. Sexual harassment or menacing.: In the past, I've been fine with (and liked) a lot of dubcon, but I currently don't want any. In the case of anything that could be taken in a dub- or noncon direction, I want the consensual version only.

Hopelessly unhappy endings: For the fandoms where I have this DNW, I'd prefer a happy ending, the sense that there's a roadmap to get there eventually, or something bittersweet over something that's an unequivocal bad end for my requested characters.

Permanent noncanonical character death of canon characters: For the fandoms where I have this DNW (MDZS, Untamed, Naruto), impermanent character death is fine and baked into a few of my likes and canons. Killing villains who died in different ways is fine. Killing OCs is fine. Keeping canon the same is fine. If you diverge from canon or make AUs, please do not permanently kill non-villain canon characters in new ways in the fandoms with this DNW. (Fandoms without this DNW obviously do not apply.) One exception: clearly labeled time travel break-its can do what they want so long as Wei Wuxian, Nie Huaisang, A-Yuan, Little Apple, and Lan Wangji aren't permanently killed.

Comas and unrequested real life serious illness: Weird confined to canon stuff like Without a Cure, qi deviations, or chakra exhaustion are fine. Cancer is not. For The Untamed, referencing Wei Wuxian's canon three days unconscious after the battle at Nightless City is fine, as is any canon case of induced unconsciousness.

Graphic, descriptive eye trauma: Non-descriptive references are fine.

Infidelity etc.: Poly is fine. I don't want anyone confused on the fact that it is poly, not cheating. If you don't mention current canon partners, I will happily assume it's a canon divergent AU and they're single.

In general, my major concern is to avoid a) definitely cheating in any direction, b) something in which one part of the ship thinks the other part is in a closed relationship and that's what the main ship is engaging in, c) something in which one half of a closed relationship believes the other is cheating on them and we the audience are likely to also think that's what's going on and which comprises a major, ongoing part of the work as opposed to something brief and mistaken.

If a character is alive and the other character knows they're alive and they're in a committed monogamous relationship, even if everyone else thinks they're dead or the situation looks dire, I'd prefer not to get a work where the character moves on during that time; break-ups afterward due to changing circumstances and being a different person now are fine.

References to canon are fine. So is my one exception, which is Jin Guangyao/Nie Huaisang taking place during his marriage to Qin Su. I'd be perfectly happy if it wasn't infidelity, but you don't need to write around Qin Su. Please don't make the fact it's infidelity the work's focus, though. (Fine: Nie Huaisang knowing Jin Guangyao's married and going for it anyway; a small exchange along the lines of Jin Guangyao coyly like, "We shouldn't, I'm married," and Nie Huaisang with irony like, "I can keep a secret;" brief references to Qin Su; or any other short acknowledgment of Jin Guangyao's marriage, explicitly or obliquely. I'd rather not: paragraphs of Nie Huaisang wondering if this makes him a terrible person and/or paragraphs more of him kinking on the cheating part.)

Focus on unrequested ships: For the fandoms where I have this DNW, other relationships can be present or referenced, whether canonical or not, but I'd prefer not to have them as a focus. If a prompt seems like it needs bits with [other characters]/[one part of a requested ship] (like, say, the one about everyone trying to lock Wei Wuxian and his seal down through marriage), feel free to go there, but I'd prefer not to have the entire story be about an unrequested ship living happily ever after.

Focus on unrequited love: For pining, characters can think it is unrequited, but I would like them to be wrong. Exceptions: DF ships can be unrequited; Lan Wangji->Wei Wuxian can be unrequited if it's never brought up and assumed in the background; Nie Huaisang->Wei Wuxian can be unrequited in a Nie Huaisang pov fic focused on him; vids can be about unrequited love if it's not Guy/Kakashi, in which case no, still please don't make it overtly, permanently unrequited.

Romantic or sexual relationships between adults and minors or references to this. Adults being explicitly sexually attracted to people who are currently underage. Explicit underage sex: Aging up so everyone is over 18 is fine. Relationships between two people roughly the same age is fine, like a 17 and 19 year old. Minors having unrequited crushes on adults is fine. References to teenagers being sexually active in teenager-typical ways is fine, but I'd rather not get explicit sex scenes. For scenarios in which two adults knew each other when one was a minor, I'd prefer not to have direct references to the possibility that anything could've happened then, even if it's to emphasize that the younger adult is an adult now.

Contract or 24/7 BDSM or use of the word "master": Mentioning this because I have a lot of BDSM-related or adjacent likes. It wouldn't ruin my night or fic, but I'm not super into the formalized contract thing or it being the focus of a relationship/what the relationship is primarily about, and I don't want to accidentally set any traps for my author. I'm fine with and enjoy non-formalized play, with people having fun with pain, bondage, some power dynamics (e.g. characters addressing each other by title), etc.

Painplay as a punishment or unintended and/or unwelcome sexual arousal from a punishment or torture: If someone's getting spanked, I want it to be because they want it. If someone's getting tortured, I don't want it to be sexual.

Anal without any sort of prep. Anal tearing: Using things that aren't lube as lubricant going by porn logic is fine so long as there's no damage from it, e.g. semen or spit. For MXTX works, consider use of lubricant an AU I am always opted in to. I'm less concerned about showing the work and more concerned about not getting "like canon, complete with blood."

Women on the receiving end of anal: If women are having anal sex, I want them to be on the giving end only (so f->m pegging is fine).

Crossovers

Requesting:

Fortress Full Of Unsuspecting Dwarves (Dwarf Fortress) & Color Changing Ray Cats (Markers to Deter)

  • Do the dwarves adopt the cats? Do they take heed of the warning? What do they think of the ray cats? Do the ray cats become the hot new pet before the dwarves dig too deep and doom another fortress? Is the hidden fun stuff radiation this time?

Wei Wuxian & Wen Remnants (The Untamed) in Dwarf Fortress

  • Maybe this goes really well! If they can live in the Burial Mounds, they can live in this evil biome raining blood where everything that dies rises again as a corpse. An unusual new embarkment in which they have a bunch of people, a child, and a bamboo flute. Is this a crossover or a fusion? Do they sell wine to their dwarven neighbors next door? I'd love happy slice of life or fortress building that ends in triumph.
  • Maybe this goes terribly! Wei Wuxian is absolutely the person who pulls the sword or is like, "Wow, this metal is great. Let's keep digging! Demons? It's okay, this is under control." Do the Wen remnants have even more struggles to survive as they contend with invasions, forgotten beasts, and Wei Wuxian failing to buy anything necessary from that caravan because they brought dogs? I'd also love creepy and terrible things happening and everything ending in disaster.
  • Or a combination of both! Either way, feel free to go as full Dwarf Fortress as you want for everyone here except for A-Yuan. Even if you kill the rest of the fort and leave A-Yuan locked in a room, I will assume that Lan Wangji will swoop in later and rescue him.

Solo: Wei Wuxian in Dwarf Fortress (The Untamed & MDZS)

  • Where was Wei Wuxian during those missing years? Maybe he/his soul fell into another universe! A wonderful, terrible universe with dwarves. Does he try to get back? Is he adopted by a bunch of dwarves as their newest migrant or does he fall in with a human settlement in a world he slowly comes to realize is nothing like the one he left? Does he work out some of his issues while adventuring? Does he embrace his new life as a necromancer and build himself a tower (or take over someone else's)?
  • Or maybe he travels there another way! Adventures with talismans? Secret portal through the Burial Mounds? I'm not attached to a particular scenario or time period where Wei Wuxian ends up there.
  • I'm also happy with the thought of a fusion! What does Wei Wuxian's story look like in the world of DF?

Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian in Dwarf Fortress (The Untamed & MDZS)

  • Any of the above, but with additional Lan Wangji.

Inhabitant(s) of Cloud Recesses (The Untamed) & Dwarf Fortress-Style Rabbitsplosion (DF)

  • There was a reason the rabbits were kept in that cave separate from the rest of Cloud Recesses and why pets are forbidden. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have doomed them all.

  • On-screen dog attack of Wei Wuxian.

Dwarf Fortress

Canon Promotion

Dwarf Fortress is a (free!) simulation game with a steep learning curve, but a huge pay-off in highly entertaining emergent story-telling and weird dwarven decisions. This can include anything from new mothers in the military taking their babies into battle to use as shields to tantrum-throwing dwarves (upset that their babies are now full of arrows) destroying the whole fortress and killing everyone in it by hitting the lever to your "magma solves everything" doomsday device.

It's also coming to Steam!

I'm including in the links several comics that illustrate many of the best things about DF.

Links:

Dev site (includes download)

DF Wiki

Tim Denee's illustrated tale of Bronzemurder (includes transcript of comic's text)

Tim Denee's Oilfurnace (no transcript, spoilers for hidden fun stuff)

Three Panel Soul, "Bug Fix" (Illustrated patch notes, e.g. "Stopped vampires from pinning their crimes on children.")

Losing is fun!

I will never not love this game. When I first started playing it, it was a very different game than it is now, but it has only gotten better. I have embraced the mantra that losing is fun, discovered all the hidden fun stuff, and even managed attempts at mega projects and tried my hand at silly dwarf tricks. (Few survived the first several attempts at a magma-fall through the main dining room, but those few left were delighted at how neat it looked! ... For however long they lived after the ensuing grief stricken tantrum spiral. Apparently a magma fountain can only do so much.)

Requesting:

Solo: Worldbuilding (Dwarf Fortress)

  • This is your chance to go wild. What sort of weird, wonderful, or horrible DF thing do you want to expand on? I would love to read it.

Original Dwarf Character & Consequences Of Their Bad Decisions (Dwarf Fortress)

  • What bad decisions does this dwarf make? Is it a series of bad decisions or just the one? Aquifers, evil biomes, stupid dwarf tricks, magma falls, retrieving a sock and letting in a forgotten beast, digging too deep, the consequences of a fell mood--there's so much to explore in DF, and I would take any sort of bad decision you wanted at all.

Necromancer & Their Ever-Growing Zombie Army (Dwarf Fortress)

  • Is this a successful necromancer or one who's about to be crushed on the defenses of a fortress? Do they keep to themselves or are they about to conquer all? What made them decide to be a necromancer? Do they really love solitude and have raised an army to enforce it or do they have a purpose?

Forgotten Beast & Soon-To-Be-Dead Inhabitants Of Their New Lair (Dwarf Fortress)

  • This forgotten beast is on its way to victory and a new home!!! I'm so excited for it. What sort of beast is it? What sort of fortress is it about to take over? Is it an easy victory or one hard fought? Do any dwarves make it out? What does the forgotten beast do with its new home decorated in dwarven blood?

Dwarven Engineer/Magma (Dwarf Fortress)

  • The love that dare not speak its name. Does any dwarf not love magma? Is this love one that will remain unrequited or will the dwarf engineer a way? How does the dwarf express their love?

Dwarven Animal Tamer & Creatures That Should Not Be Tamed (Dwarf Fortress)

  • What creatures is this dwarf taming? Do they stop at one or continue on to other creatures that also shouldn't be tamed? What motivated this taming? What sort of purpose will any tamed creatures be put to? Does the dwarf actually succeed or is this a story that ends in early tragedy?

DNWs

No fandom specific DNWs for DF.

Optional vid prompts:

I'm not married to these songs, but if you'd like to make a vid and you want some song prompts, I like these and think they'd fit. Feel free to use songs for other ships/characters, too, as a lot of them work for multiple things.

Joywave - Destruction

Will the soundtrack kindly produce a sound?
Go on, don't be nervous, go ahead, any sound
Well, that isn't quite what I had in mind

Secrets of the Undersea Bell - Astronautalis

Every old salt knows a song to sing
When things go wrong, and things go wrong
They can resurrect men with mighty hymns
Cannot raise the diving bell

MDZS/The Untamed

Requesting:

Solo: Nie Huaisang (The Untamed)

  • For solo Nie Huaisang, if you want to write ships instead of gen, I am open to the following ships as a focus: Nie Huaisang/Wei Wuxian, Nie Huaisang/Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, Nie Huaisang/Nie Zonghui, Nie Huaisang/Lan Xichen, Lan Qiren/Nie Huaisang, Jiang Yanli/Nie Huaisang.
  • I am super thirsty for Nie Huaisang content. Throw any character you want in with him. Nie Huaisang plotting after the movie? Nie Huaisang having lighthearted adventures during his time in The Cloud Recesses? Nie Huaisang settling into his life post-revenge and figuring out what he wants to do and who he is now? 10k of Nie Huaisang catching and collecting birds? I will take it all.
  • Consider also: time travel fix-it. Nie Huaisang takes his powers of plotting and uses them to arrange everything to his satisfaction.
  • Any sort of canon divergent AU. Nie Huaisang figures out about the altered music earlier. Nie Huaisang decides to interfere in how things are developing with Wei Wuxian and the war for reasons. Nie Huaisang gets his revenge in a slightly different way.
  • Nie Huaisang romance! Arranged marriages, ships that take place in canon divergence, ships that take place in canon as is, sentinel/guide AUs, lending porn somehow leads to trying to recreate it--go as tropey or as low key as you'd like.
  • Reddit: I'd love cultivation world + Reddit/the internet, but I will also take modern world + cultivation. Keep canon powers, add cultivation internet. Give me my faves on Reddit asking if [terrible situation] makes them the asshole or even other characters posting stuff that includes the characters I'm requesting.

Solo: Wei Wuxian (The Untamed)

  • For solo Wei Wuxian, if you want to write ships instead of gen, I am open to the following ships as a focus: Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, Nie Huaisang/Wei Wuxian, Nie Huaisang/Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji. For vids only, I'm also open to a focus on Wei Wuxian/Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian/Wen Ning.
  • I love Wei Wuxian a lot. Feel free to throw anyone you want in with him, too. I'd be especially interested in post-canon case fic (Wei Wuxian is good at solving mysteries!), horror stories with Wei Wuxian at the center (as the protagonist or as the monster during the war or as a horror story parents tell their children about later), fix-its or AUs where he gets to stay at Lotus Pier without compromising his values, time travel fix-its, time travel break-its, time loops, and canon divergence.
  • For time travel: feel free to make it all better or make it much, much worse. As I stated with my DNW exception, clearly labeled time travel break-its can do what they want so long as Wei Wuxian, Nie Huaisang, A-Yuan, Little Apple, and Lan Wangji aren't permanently killed. (Just please give me a heads up in the form of a time travel break-it tag, an author's note, an e-mail through the mod, or some other way I can brace myself first.) You can go full on power fantasy or break the power fantasy into tiny, tiny pieces or something in between.
  • Romance! Arranged marriages, ships that take place in canon divergence, ships that take place in canon as is, sentinel/guide AUs, everyone tries to get the Tiger Seal by trying to marry their family/themselves off to Wei Wuxian and [person] actually wants to marry Wei Wuxian--go as tropey or as low key as you'd like.
  • Reddit: I'd love cultivation world + Reddit/the internet, but I will also take modern world + cultivation. Keep canon powers, add cultivation internet. Give me my faves on Reddit asking if [terrible situation] makes them the asshole or even other characters posting stuff that includes the characters I'm requesting.
    • Five /r/ threads about Wei Wuxian and one he made himself. Jin Ling like, "I stabbed my estranged uncle? AITA?" and then the explanation has a number of people go, "I did not expect this." Jiang Cheng vaguing about his situation in such a way that everyone is like, "Info?" Jin Zixun asking for legal advice about how to pursue justice for these holes in him when he knows who did it and after a few suspiciously inciting comments is like, "I'm going to take it into my own hands!!"

Lan Qiren/Nie Huaisang (The Untamed & MDZS)

  • Nie Huaisang has a different plan for catching Jin Guangyao, and he's going to recruit Lan Qiren to do it. (For my permanent noncanonical character death DNW, feel free to throw in a single line about a backup plan and I'll assume MXY will take things into his own hands … or you could also have the backup plan activate and Nie Huaisang also dealing with Lan Wangji & Wei Wuxian getting in the way of his legitimate investigation with Lan Qiren just as it's about ready to be presented before the cultivation world when they were supposed to be distracted by a wild goose hunt/hand/sword spirit.)
  • Post-canon, Nie Huaisang makes an unlikely friend and … falls in love? How did this happen? Don't look at him. He doesn't know. He just doesn't know.
  • Time travel fic in which Nie Huaisang goes back a little earlier than he'd anticipated and Lan Qiren is much, much hotter than he remembered.
  • A/B/O AU in which post-canon Nie Huaisang needs an alpha for that whole making an heir thing and knows someone who is a) still single and b) would be a great candidate for doing all the boring sect work he's uninterested in. To everyone's surprise, Lan Qiren accepts. To no one's surprise, he makes Nie Huaisang do his own work.
  • Literally anything post Cloud Recesses era.
  • If you'd like more thoughts, I talk about what I like about Nie Huaisang and Lan Qiren in my Juletide letter. [Extremely late edit: I linked my IPQ letter originally and have fixed that. Also, when I wrote this Juletide letter, I included a copy-paste of what I originally liked about Nie Huaisang in MDZS and didn't think about the fact that part of it was contradicted by the movie, which established that Nie Huaisang didn't know about the exact flaws of the Nie cultivation method until late in canon. You don't need to rewrite Untamed canon (or contradict your own read of it)! While I'd still like to believe MDZS Nie Huaisang figured it out early on, I'm happy to receive Untamed canon or alternate takes on MDZS from what I was reading into it.]

Nie Huaisang/Jin Guangyao (The Untamed & MDZS)

  • Cat and mouse game in which Nie Huaisang seduces Jin Guangyao while planning to destroy him.
  • Cat and mouse game in which Jin Guangyao thinks he's seducing Nie Huaisang while Nie Huaisang plans to destroy him.
  • Before Nie Mingjue's death, before Qin Su, Nie Huaisang had a thing with Jin Guangyao. He thought it was just physical, then he thought it was love, and then he thought he could let it go … and then Jin Guangyao murdered his brother.
  • AU in which Jin Guangyao marries Nie Huaisang instead of Qin Su. Fluffy fix-it? Or canon is on rails and this doesn't end well for them?
  • Nie Huaisang was going to nail this time travel fix-it, but somehow he's actually ended up nailing Jin Guangyao. Maybe he can do both. It's not like this version has plans to murder his brother yet, right?

Jiang Yanli/Nie Huaisang (The Untamed)

  • Jiang Yanli deserves nice things, and Nie Huaisang can be very nice.
  • AU in which Nie Huaisang is her intended instead of Jin Zixuan.
  • AU in which Nie Huaisang and Jiang Yanli get together after the broken betrothal.
  • AU in which she survives and she and Nie Huaisang investigate the events of Qiongqi Path together and fall in love.
  • Time travel fix-it results in Jiang Yanli/Nie Huaisang.
  • Jiang Yanli and Nie Huaisang are both caught in a time loop taking place from the announcement of Jin Zixuan's death to the events of Nightless City and the shattering of the Yin Tiger Seal. In the terribly long time they spend trying to a) survive, b) fix what they can, and c) break the loop, they fall in love.

Nie Huaisang/Wei Wuxian (The Untamed & MDZS)

  • Post the Untamed, Wei Wuxian finds his way to the Unclean Realm.
  • Cloud Recesses era, Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang flirt for fun. It turns into something more.
  • In an AU where Lan Wangji isn't in love with Wei Wuxian, Nie Huaisang still revives Wei Wuxian and ends up having to drag him off to Qinghe Nie to keep him out of Jiang Cheng's hands. He did not want to stand up to an angry Jiang Wanyin today! How did Wei Wuxian reveal himself this early? Nie Huaisang would really like to know. >:( Oh, oops, Wei Wuxian is flirting with him now. This is not as awkward as Wei Wuxian seems to think it should be.
  • In an AU where we're not discussing the fact that Lan Wangji is in love with Wei Wuxian, Nie Huaisang brings back his crush Wei Wuxian to help him and arranges to have it happen on a Nie night hunt.
  • Nie Huaisang did not actually give the manuscript to Mo Xuanyu. He was on his way to Mo Village to investigate and see if he couldn't gather another witness against Jin Guangyao. He did not expect to run into a rebodied Wei Wuxian, but here they are.
  • Time travel fix-it in which Nie Huaisang travels to the past instead of resurrecting anyone and oh, whoops, his fix-it plans did not include making out with Wei Wuxian in every available private space and many very public ones, but that's what's happening. He just meant to throw Wei Wuxian at the saber problem! … He can and will absolutely roll with this. He can use this. He is going to use this. Right after kissing Wei Wuxian behind that hedge.

Nie Huaisang/Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji (The Untamed & MDZS)

  • Cute threeway date during the Untamed's yin iron road trip.
  • Everyone tries to get the Tiger Seal by trying to marry their family/themselves off to Wei Wuxian. Nie Huaisang would like to put himself forward. Lan Wangji would also like to put himself forward. Obviously the solution is they both marry him. Nie Huaisang would be happy to be Second Husband if it means avoiding responsibility. (Wei Wuxian would like to know how he's ended up with two husbands when so many women were in the running.)
  • Time travel intended-to-fix-it and somehow Nie Huaisang has accidentally managed to steal Wei Wuxian for himself. He's ruined the greatest love story of his generation and the hottest couple he's ever seen. He could try again to fix this one last thing … or he could matchmake his own husband with his previous husband and live his dreams.
  • Wei Wuxian wants to get his husband something special for their anniversary. A threesome is something special, right?
  • If you'd like more thoughts, I talk about what I like about Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian/Nie Huaisang in MDZS here in my Chocolate Box letter (though obviously I've come around on Nie Huaisang/Wei Wuxian standing alone since). [Extremely late edit: this is the original section of the copy-paste I mentioned in my other extremely late edit above of what I originally liked about Nie Huaisang in MDZS. I want to reassure you that I realize this is contradicted by the movie, which established that Nie Huaisang didn't know about the exact flaws of the Nie cultivation method until late in canon. You don't need to rewrite Untamed canon (or contradict your own read of it)! While I'd still like to believe MDZS Nie Huaisang figured it out early on, I'm happy to receive Untamed canon or alternate takes on MDZS from what I was reading into it.]

Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian (The Untamed & MDZS)

  • Lan Wangji has a breeding kink; Wei Wuxian would like to make his dreams a reality by inventing mpreg.
  • MDZS AU in which if someone is able to get the ribbon off a Lan’s forehead, they’ve won their hand in marriage. If only someone had told Wei Wuxian before he pulled it off in front of everyone at the archery competition.
  • Untamed AU in which binding with the Lan ribbon is a handfasting marriage and they got married in Lan Yi's cave.
  • No war AU in which Wei Wuxian spends years trying to get Lan Wangji’s attention at competitions and night hunts and discussion conferences. Because he wants to be friends! For no other reason! Jiang Cheng, stop giving him that look.
  • Accidental time travel, time travel fix-it, or other time travel fic.
  • I have gotten time loops for this ship before, but I will always take more. The hunger is never-ending.
  • Wangxian's love story as seen through Reddit posts.
  • If you'd like more thoughts, I talk about what I like about Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian in MDZS in my IPQ letter.

General DNWs

Modao Zushi/Untamed DNWs:

  • Permanent noncanonical character death of canon characters. (Killing villains who died in different ways is fine. Killing OCs is fine. Temporary character death is fine.)
  • Break-up of wangxian. (Divergence in which they're never together or open relationship are both fine.)
  • Lan Wangji in a relationship without Wei Wuxian.
  • On-screen dog attack.

Optional vid prompts: I'm not married to these songs, but if you'd like to make a vid and you want some song prompts, I like these and think they'd fit. Feel free to use songs for other ships/characters, too, as a lot of them work for multiple things. These are stolen from a past letter and are a bit uneven and missing at least one ship, so I want to emphasize that a) the suggestions are only for if you're stuck and b) that I really do want all of these things.

Wei Wuxian:

Vagabond - MisterWives

You've been up and down down
You've been low low low
Troubled sea so deep, troubled none no sleep
You've been flying so high
Avoiding the road
Pretending to not feel alone

Vengeance - Zack Hemsey

Before I die alone
Let me have vengeance

Save Rock and Roll - Fallout Boy

In a world full of the word yes
I'm here to scream
No, No
Wherever I go, go
Trouble seems to follow
I only plugged in to save rock and roll

Wei Wuxian & Wen Remnants:

Welcome Home - Radical Face

Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass
Was never much but we made the most
Welcome home
Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost

Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian:

Faded - Alan Walker, Luke Christopher Remix

So Imma keep deep diving
Just to see where you hidin'
And if you aren't in the sea
I just wait until I dream
To see if I can find you

Never Be Alone - TheFatRat

You're gonna break my heart
You're gonna tear it apart
No matter what you do
I'll still be there for you

Moth's Wings - Passion Pit

Dear friend as you know
Your flowers are withering
Your mother's gone missing
Your leaves have drifted away
But the clouds are clearing up
And I've come reveling
Burning incandescently
Like a bastard on the burning sea

Realiti - Grimes, Art Angels version

When we were young, we used to live so close to it
And we were scared and we were beautiful
And when I peered over the edge and seen death, if we are always the same
Oh, and I feel that nothing in life could ever be like this again

Paralyzer - Finger Eleven (Okay, but what about Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji sexual tension during a terrible time at the Wen indoctrination/Jin social gatherings?)

This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well, I'm still imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place

Wen Ning & or / Wei Wuxian:

Bring Me Back A Dog - IAMX

From the fall I hold the word conviction
And the thrill to the swell is in your golden touch
But the flesh is weak and without reason
So I slave to your beat and soul for all time

Jiang Cheng & or / Wei Wuxian:

Stressed Out - twenty one pilots

Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from
I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one
It'd be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose
Same clothes homegrown a stone's throw from a creek we used to roam
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree-house homes we all would take the latter

Sleepwalker - Adam Lambert

I saw a picture of you
Hanging in an empty hallway
I heard a voice that I knew, and I couldn't walk away
It sent me back to the end of everything

Things We Lost in the Fire - Bastille

I was the match and you were the rock
Maybe we started this fire
We sat apart and watched
All we had burned on the pyre

Fine Print (tyDi remix) - Nadia Ali

I'm just a mermaid
Who is not content with waveless oceans
Sometimes a gusty wind
Is what I need to feel again
Since I saw you last
I've been holding back
I figured I should do just that
I thought I'd crack but I smiled instead
I'll let you read the fine print

Nie Huaisang:

Power & Control - Marina and the Diamonds

Think you're funny, think you're smart
Think you're gonna break my heart
Think you're funny, think you're smart
Yeah, you may be good-looking but you're not a piece of art
Power, control
I'm gonna make you fall

Oblivion - Grimes (This could also be a Wei Wuxian song?)

Another walk about after dark
It's my point of view
'Cause someone could break your neck
Coming up behind you, always coming and you'd never have a clue

Nie Huaisang/Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji:

Tessellate - alt-j

Three guns and one goes off
One's empty, one's not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin
Search the graves while the camera spins
Chunks of you will sink down to seals
Blubber rich in mourning
They'll nosh you up, yes, they'll nosh the love away
But it's fair to say, you will still haunt me

Nie Huaisang & or / Wei Wuxian:

Ocean Breathes Salty - Modest Mouse

Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in.
In my head, in my heart, in my soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so.

Nie Huaisang/Jin Guangyao:
Mr. Blessington's Imperialist Plot - Astronautalis

Pretty Patricia was a nervous wreck

Naruto

Requesting:

Solo: Haruno Sakura

  • You know those power fantasy Sakura fic? I am their target audience. Throw her in the past and let her destroy the competition. Diverge canon and let her claw her way to greatness another way. Make her head of the hospital or ANBU or Hokage and be the absolute best at whatever she does.
  • And you know all those fic where Sakura is paired with damn near anyone? I am also the target audience. There is a reason I made an exception for my unrequested ships DNW here. I've DNWed the only specific Sakura ships I really don't want. You can sell me on anything else. Itachi? He's also a fave. Sai? Yes, go for it. Ino? Throw Sasuke in the garbage and let their rivalry be who can date the other first. (Side note for Sasuke fans: I don't actually need Sasuke thrown in the garbage.) Canon fodder who lived and died in a single panel? I am ready to hear their story if it's actually all about Sakura and how great she is. I am perfectly happy with Sakura gen, but if you want to make something shippy, I'm game.
  • Different team line-up AU.
  • Time skip Sakura growing stronger and making and mending friendships.
  • Sakura in a time loop. Sure, she'll break it. After she uses this cheat to its limits.
  • Sakura is killing this time travel fix-it (and her enemies).
  • Sakura is dropped in the Warring Eras and is going to form her village if she has to murder these two clans and do it herself.
  • IF Sakura dating sim.
  • CYOA of Sakura in every possible team on her way to being great.
  • If you'd like more thoughts, I talk about what I like about Sakura in my LBD letter here.

Solo: Uchiha Itachi

  • For solo Itachi, if you want to create Itachi ships instead of gen, I'm okay with Itachi/Sakura, Itachi/Kisame, Itachi/Jiraiya, and Itachi/Naruto. For vids only, I'm also open to a focus on Itachi/anyone he isn't directly related to within one degree of relation (so anyone who isn't Sasuke or his parents).
  • Itachi had a plan. He had not intended to live through it. Somehow, he did. What now?
  • Itachi is killing this time travel fix-it (and kidnapping his little brother once he's done with the fix-it-with-killing part).
  • Itachi's ROOT drop off point is compromised (and it only took him X years to see this happen), so he switches to reporting to Jiraiya instead, as he's both easier to access and Konoha's spymaster. Because Jiraiya may not be read in on everything, Itachi gives him a full update. If Danzou hadn't wanted that, he should've changed protocol to disallow it. (If going with Itachi/Jiraiya here, please set it after Itachi is 18+.)
  • AU in which Madara never left the village, there was no bunny goddess, and Itachi actually gets a very nice, very peaceful life, or at least a life in which he doesn't have to help murder his clan.
  • AU in which the Uchiha stand down and in return Itachi is set to be the next Hokage. Does this fix anything?

Solo: Haruno Sakura

Hey Lion - Sofi Tukker

Hey lion
You're not my king
And I don't want your worship
I'm already tall

Lash Out - Alice Merton

I can feel it on the back of my tongue
All of the words getting trapped in my lungs
Heavy like a stone, waiting for the river to run
I wanna lash out
I wanna let it out

Unstoppable - The Score

There's a moment
In your bones when
When the fire takes over

Solo: Uchiha Itachi

Little Boy - Barns Courtney

I'll never let this go
I'll do this on my own

Polarize - twenty one pilots

I wanted to be a better brother, better son
Wanted to be a better adversary to the evil I have done
I have none to show to the one I love
But deny, deny, denial
Help me polarize, help me polarize, help me down
Those stairs is where I'll be hidin' all my problems

Home - Marshmello [music only]

Drive It Like You Stole It - The Glitch Mob [no lyrics, only feelings]

Hatake Kakashi/Maito Gai | Might Guy

Michael - Franz Ferdinand (Guy half-trolling, 100% serious.)

This is where I'll be
So heavenly
So come and dance with me Michael
So sexy, I'm sexy
So come and dance with me Michael

Move - Saint Motel

This man, this dutiful man has got this sense of devotion
One look, one touch of a hand can set the spiral in motion

All This Could Be Yours - Cold War Kids

You were packing up but I gave you a bed
You would rather crash than go straight ahead
I wrote this years ago but it's finished today

In closing and because this bears repeating no matter the exchange:

My number one hope for my gift is that my gift creator has a good time with it, so let me emphasize again that I'm just happy that there will be more stuff for my favorite characters and/or ships. Whatever you end up doing, I'm hoping it's something you enjoy about the fandom and have fun making.

Have a happy Fic in a Box! ♥
