Fic in a box letter - 2021

I'm Gammarad on ao3. I love all my requests equally! Fill any one you want. I'm open to a lot of optional media as well as regular fic!

(almost done with letter - just the last two fandoms to write extra prompts for! promise those will be done by end of week)

Fandoms:

The Endless
The Outside
The Goblin Emperor
To the Moon
The Pretender
Beware of the Villainess
The Hollow
Lost Boys

Not fandom specific:

What I want: worldbuilding. Every worldbuilding thing. I requested Worldbuilding tag in every fandom and only that; feel free to have background ships do whatever you want, in most fandoms I don't even have any ship DNWs, as long as there's a good amount of worldbuilding around the ship(s)!

LIKES:

Character, setting, and theme likes: cats (including cat-like fantasy creatures or spirits), aliens (including cat-like and human-like aliens as well as ones like nothing at all on Earth), friendship, rivalry, enemies, eerie supernatural stuff, unusual settings, ancient history (BCE), science fiction, technology, AI, robots, cyborgs, worldbuilding. Older mature characters.

Gen (& relationship) likes: Loyalty - either one way or mutual, enemies who have a certain understanding, colleagues who rely on each other, colleagues who undermine each other, employee & employer relatioship either with loyalty or with one using the other, parent & child relationships with protectiveness, student & teacher relationships with mutual desire to learn, criminal & victim relationships with complexities, bounty hunter & target relationships where they have to be taken alive (or where the target is just that hard to kill), stranger & potential new friend (but also potential new threat) relationships, allies of convenience. One character noticing things about the other and sharing insights (or not, as their character dictates). Doing something meaningful without being asked. Bickering. Using someone's observed weakness against them. The way only someone close to them can hurt them like that.

Romantic (/ relationship) likes: Pining, previous and/or background ships, cheating or adultery, equal partnerships, casual consensual D/s elements, different sorts of beings (like AI/human or vampire/human or AI/vampire or alien/different kind of alien, you get the idea) in love. Being able to see what makes that person the one they want. Being perfect for each other but not knowing it yet. Characters struggling to figure out how to show their love. Characters who have good reason to think the person they want isn't right for them but can't help it. Obsessive unhealthy love. Complicated relationships with give and take and balance issues. Canon poly.

Plotty likes: intelligent non-humans, learning to get along despite differences, working out misaligned goals. Myth inspired plots or fairy tale retellings, mysteries, ghost stories, adventure stories, coming of age stories, romances, case or mission fic, noir style, pastiche of canon, pastiche of something other than the canon you're actually writing. Happy for now endings, bittersweet endings, knowing what you have won't last forever, getting what they want and realizing it's not what they need, getting what they need even though it wasn't what they thought they wanted, taking what they can get in lieu of what they really need or want.

Smut likes: Older human characters having explicit sex. Saying with physical affection what they can't say out loud. Solving problems in sex (difficulty climaxing, premature ejaculation, injury does not allow for their usual sex, that kind of thing). Sex toys, improvised sex toys, edging, honor bondage, orgasm denial. D/s (with equal amounts of experience or with the submissive person more experienced, I also like couples who switch who is dominant), vampires with sexy blood drinking, aliens with strange genitalia, robots or cyborgs with technological genitalia.

Style likes: I like a whole broad variety of styles. First person, second person, omniscient narrator (like a historian or telepath or seer or deity), same as canon, totally different from canon for reasons, carefully preserved realism, blend of realism vs fantastical elements, fourth wall breaking, epistolary, unreliable narrator, close third person, out-of-order storytelling, time jumps, dream scenes, surreal or stream-of-consciousness interludes, main character viewpoint, outsider viewpoint including POV of AI, cats, ghosts, deities, or other unusual being. For all writing-style options, go with whatever best suits your personal style or your chosen story.


The Endless
Any ship or character is fine in my gift(s) as long as there's has substantial worldbuilding inside. Any of the nominated characters or relationships, or any not nominated too.

This movie has such an interesting take on time loops! And also what the heck is going on with the (alien?) that's causing them? Is it metafictional, I think it might be... give me *your* idea though!

prompts (or go with your own idea if you have one!)
- a loop that wasn't shown in the movie
- someone escapes a loop - how?
- someone thinks they have figured out how to escape a loop - is wrong
- crossover or fusion with another time loop canon like - Palm Springs, Russian Doll, Groundhog Day, Day Break (TV 2006)
- write me siblingcest for this canon if you want 😁

DNW: bulging or inflation kink, 'corrective' noncon of any orientation or gender, injuries involving exposed bone, explicit underage sex, noncon involving underage characters, serious harm to pets.




The Outside

Any ship or character is fine in my gift(s) as long as there's has substantial worldbuilding in there. Any of the nominated characters or relationships works.

This book is really interesting, full of original created human cultures, aliens, cyborgs, AIs, and extradimensional horror! I haven't read the sequel yet, I think it's coming out soon? or just came out? anyway feel free to spoil it, and equally feel free not to read it, either way is fine. I'd love *your* ideas on what comes next or the untold back stories.

More optional prompts -
- Something about the cyborg angels of your choice of AI god
- Something about a planet and how it reacts to the Outside infection
- Something about Evianna and her discoveries, or someone else who did that kind of research and had that kind of issue as a result
- Something about the aliens (either kind, the kind with living ships, or the translator ones)
- I totally ship Elu/Akavi with - unrequited pining by Elu, noncon, yandere, stockholm, eventual trust building. as dark or soft as you want to go with them; Elu/Enga also has good potential
- the canon couple Tiv/Yasira is great and they can work it out or not (I'm fine to see them broken up, or struggling with separation, as well as happy together!); Yasira/Evianna has a lot of potential too; they could both appear in the same story too for some conflict

DNW: bulging or inflation kink, 'corrective' noncon of any orientation or gender, injuries involving exposed bone, explicit underage sex, noncon involving underage characters, deliberate harm to pets.




The Goblin Emperor

Any characters from canon (both original book and Witness for the Dead, which I have read) are fine in my gift(s) as long as there's has substantial worldbuilding in there. Any of the nominated characters is fine, as are any characters that aren't nominated. Any & ship is totally fine. For / ships, see my DNW below. Any / ship that doesn't violate these DNWs is fine (they're both adults, unrelated, and not Maia). I'm equally happy with m/m, f/f, m/f, and nonbinary shipping.

My fic for TGE is here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Gammarad/works?fandom_id=62322985

Prompts (optional - please write your own idea if you have one that doesn't match!)
- opera stuff! Whether in Cetho or Amalo or elsewhere. What if Min Vechin was performing in Amalo, she'd be at the fanciest opera house, but maybe Iana and Thara would want to see her show? Or an in-universe program for an opera? or a director's notes, or told from the viewpoint of a lights tech, or a child with a bit part?
- clockwork stuff. Diagrams for mechanisms, a story set in a university or trade guild about an apprentice, maybe details about the extraordinary clock Maia got? Someone in the Alcethmeret knows the person who made it maybe...
- family issues. For example, the situation Stano Bazhevin got in, where she was engaged but never married; what about a woman in the same situation who, after being not-quite-widowed, wants to marry (remarry?) Is there a process? how about widows remarrying, does it happen, if so what is the complication? Alternatively, it's been said that on rare occasions men marry into their wives' family, what would that be like? Or adoption. Or differences between family arrangements in various places in the world
- Things about the barely-there countries other than the main elf and goblin ones. A story set entirely elsewhere in the world.

DNW: any / ship involving underage characters (future fic for child characters is fine though to include / ships that only start once they're adults; also, there's canonically engagements for some underage characters - mentioning that kind of thing happening in a similar way to how it's mentioned in the canon is fine). Any / ship involving parent/child or sibling/sibling incest. Any / ship with Maia other than Maia/Csethiro. Also: bulging or inflation kink, 'corrective' noncon of any orientation or gender, injuries involving exposed bone, explicit underage sex, noncon involving underage characters, deliberate harm to pets.




To the Moon

Any ship or character is fine in my gift(s) as long as there's has substantial worldbuilding in there. Any of the nominated characters or relationships works.

I love the weird memory stuff that happens in these games. I'm sure there are a lot of creative things you can do to write a fic or make another kind of work based on them!

my one fic for this fandom is here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27732802 for consent issues last year.

Totally optional prompts (I will love your ideas for me as much as my own)
- Eva and Neil helping a new person out and/or trying to but messing it up and/or dealing with bureaucratic stuff when trying to help a person and/or inventing a new useful (or wacky, or dangerous) technique!
- Anything with Faye! What's she up to on her own during Colin's lifetime? What happens to her after he dies? How much is she Colin, how much a bird, how much something (what) else?

I'm attempting to ask for 'any interactive fiction' but haven't figured out what opt in that is.

DNW: bulging or inflation kink, 'corrective' noncon of any orientation or gender, injuries involving exposed bone, explicit underage sex, noncon involving underage characters, serious harm to pets, incest involving underage characters.




The Pretender

Any ship or character is fine in my gift(s) as long as there's has substantial worldbuilding in there. Any of the nominated characters or relationships works.

The whole concept of this show was so interesting to me back when I was watching it on broadcast TV, and honestly I haven't lost interest in it that much, though I don't really enjoy re-watching it (it's pretty dated I guess), I do like thinking about it and reading fic a lot. And I was so into it back then, I never missed an episode, so it's very nostalgia-fandom for me. I will love anything you come up with.

Prompts (entirely optional, go wherever you want in this world)
- the Centre before Jarod and Parker were even born
- what else the Centre is doing that was never shown in the show
- Other organizations or individuals that figured out how to do the same things the show portrayed that are impossible in reality, and how they tried to keep those secret or how they tried to exploit those powers
- alternative explanations for things that happened in the show, as if those things were secrets that the show never got around to revealing
- ways people who escaped from the Centre found to keep themselves safe, or alternatively to take advantage of what they knew that those around them did not
- hidden "mistakes" made by secret societies

DNW: bulging or inflation kink, 'corrective' noncon of any orientation or gender, descriptions of injuries that mention exposed bone, explicit underage sex.




Beware of the Villainess

There's all sorts of options in world building - the magic system? how did the werewolves get like that? what other sorts of supernatural creatures exist there? The economics and / or legal system? The novel's "system" that talks to Yuri? Yona's secret life? I want to know all about all of those. Or anything else! Any ship can be in there, in the background, use any characters. (My favorites are Melissa, Nine, Yuri, and Yona, but I also like Jack, Ian, Jake, etc...)

optional prompts (use as you like, or feel free to ignore entirely!)
- more about the werewolf society. and/or alternate societies for *women* who shapeshift, maybe?
- the system that runs the novel, how does it work? what even is it? how does it achieve what it achieves, and/or why is it letting Melissa do what she's doing?
- the mechanism of transmigration. How was the person chosen who became Melissa? Is there a chance of another person entering another character, and if so what happens when Melissa finds out (or anyone else does)?
- what if Yona discovers something about the world that wasn't previously known (and isn't in the canon). would she tell anyone? or just take advantage of the knowledge herself in secret

DNW: bulging or inflation kink, 'corrective' noncon of any orientation or gender, injuries involving exposed bone, explicit underage sex, noncon involving underage characters, serious harm to pets.



The Hollow

The weird and interesting world building possible here includes both the 'real' world and the virtual ones shown, and new virtual ones that you might make up that would fit the setting.

I'm happy to see any characters and any ships in the story, or none, as long as the focus is on building out the world.

Any type of interactive fiction is fine with me.

DNW: bulging or inflation kink, 'corrective' noncon of any orientation or gender, injuries involving exposed bone, explicit underage sex, noncon involving underage characters, (blood relative) incest involving underage characters (this would not apply to virtual characters if it's clear they're virtual), serious harm to pets.



Lost Boys

Vampire worldbuilding maybe is one of my favorite types of worldbuilding. How many vampires are there in the world setting - is this the only town that has "all the damn vampires" or are there other vampire towns? Where do the master vampires come from and is it other vampires too, or are they created some other way (even self created)? Do Lost Boys vampires have the counting compulsion? What is the deal with half vampires and do they age normally? Etc. Go wild.

I just found out there were sequel movies - I had no idea. So, use worldbuilding stuff from the sequels or not, and don't worry if you haven't seen them. Requested based on original movie only, but don't mind spoilers for them as I will probably never see them? Sorry if this is a bad idea, as I said I didn't know until (after signups closed) about it...

Feel free to use any characters, and any ships that don't go against my DNWs below.

DNW: bulging or inflation kink, 'corrective' noncon of any orientation or gender, injuries involving exposed bone, explicit underage sex, noncon involving underage characters (very brief mentions ok in this fandom), (blood relative) incest involving underage characters, serious harm to pets.
