Dear Chocolatier,

This is the first time I have used Dreamwidth for a Dear Creator letter, and I am still figuring out the formatting. Apologies for this. Most of this is a general grab-bag of prompts for you to use, both in general and for specific fandoms, but there are a few ship-specific prompts in here.

- YellowMagicalGirl

General
DNW

These general DNW's apply to all fandoms.

• Adult/minor with a large age gap - if they are close enough in age that they could have attended high school together (or they could have if they were both humans in a setting that has high schools) I'm cool with it, but any larger it squicks me.
• Bashing of characters/ships
• Birth/Labor
• Brain/skull trauma
• Break-up fics, especially between the requested pairing. If you need to break up a canon pairing to get them together, then fine, but don't focus on the break-up.
• Cannibalism
• Cheating
• Drug Use (as in, party drugs, smoking, and stuff like that; I'm cool with painkillers and similar medicinal drugs being involved in whump and hurt/comfort.)
• Incest (including adoption/step-family)
• Issues involving hormones/hormonal glands (if you choose to have a trans character taking/wanting to take hormones, please keep it vague. Do not reference any medical issues that could be caused by a hormone imbalance, damage to a hormonal gland, or any similar issues.)
• MRI machines
• Nerve damage
• Neurosurgery
• Non-canonical death of requested character that does not end in the character being resurrected by the end of the fic
• Queerphobia, including aphobia and enbyphobia
• Sexual content of any kind
• Suicide
• Time travel in fandoms that don't already have canon time travel.
• Tumors/cysts/similar medical problems
• Unrequested crossovers
• Unrequested major original characters (if you need to quickly add in an original character with a few lines just to act as a background character/get the requested characters from Point A to Point B, that's one thing, but please don't have the original characters take a major portion of the plot/dialogue)

Fanart-specific DNW's

• Gore in fanart (blood is fine, mild injury is fine, but no gore)

General Fanart Likes

These can apply to any request.

• Glitching gif, especially to indicate that something is very wrong
• Colored lighting
• Multiple light sources
• Glowing eyes
• Characters dancing together (especially for romantic/queerplatonic ships, but also for cute friendships)
• Flowing ballgowns (if you need inspiration, the vast majority of the fashion tag on my tumblr is ballgowns and other dresses)
• Billowing capes, cloaks, and trenchcoats

Dimension 20: Fantasy High
Fantasy High-Specfic DNW(s)

• I do not have Dropout, so please don't include any content that is not uploaded to YouTube (i.e. most of Sophomore Year as well as nearly all of The Seven)

General Fantasy High Like(s)

• Class swap AU (whether for one/a couple of the Bad Kids or the full party, your choice)
• AU where they're a classic high fantasy D&D party
• Unsleeping City AU (again, I do not have Dropout, so please base this more on the 1st season than the 2nd)
• AU where one or more of the Bad Kids knew Fig before she found out she was a tiefling
• AU where instead of a tiefling of Gothalax the Insatiable, Fig is an aasimar of Gorthiel the Seraph of Eating the Right Amount of Food
• AU where Kristen is an aasimar of Helio (or Yes!/Yes?) instead of a human
• Werewolf!Adaine AU
• Regular slice-of-life high school stuff (whether it be in the canonverse, a modern au, or a modern-with-magic/D&D races au)
• Explorations of Adaine's anxiety

Leverage
Leverage-specific DNW(s)

• Breanna/older members of Team Leverage

General Leverage Likes

• Post-orignal Leverage Mastermind!Parker: The lack of this is the biggest thing I disliked about Leverage: Redemption. Parker was my favorite character in the original series (though in Redemption she's now tied with Breanna), and I was super excited to see Parker being the mastermind, only to be saddened by how Sophie ended up falling into the mastermind role throughout the season.
• Autistic!Parker
• Fake dating (or engagement/marriage) for any of the requested ships. It just works so well when they could pretend to be a couple as part of a con.
• If I were to make the team as D&D 5E classes, I'd class them as follows (also, Parker and the grifters would work well as changelings, though Sophie would also work well as an elf/half-elf):
  
  • Nate: Paladin, Oath of Vengeance, maybe a 3-level dip into Rogue to pick up Thief or Mastermind
  • Hardison: Wizard, School of Divination, Scribes, or Illusion
  • Eliot: Fighter, Champion, Battle Master, or Cavalier Archetype (perhaps dressed as Glenn Savage?)
  • Parker: Rogue, Thief or Mastermind Archetype
  • Sophie: Bard, College of Eloquence, Glamour, or Whispers (perhaps dressed as Milana the Poetry Mistress?)
  • Tara: Bard, College of Eloquence or Whispers
  • Harry: Warlock, Fiend Patron
  • Breanna: Artificer... tbh any Specialzation other than Alchemist

Leverage Art Likes

• The team dressed in fancy clothes, like the way Parker and Elliot were dressed at the start of "The Harry Wilson Job", or the way the entire team dressed for the "Right now, you're suffering under an enormous weight. We provide... leverage." scenes from the ends of the first and last episodes of the original series.

Sophie Deveraux/Tara Cole
Personally, I'd prefer for them to have something either pre-original Leverage or post-season 1 Leverage: Redemption.

• One of them could stealing jewelry for the other
• Feel free to put in as many Star Trek references as you want

Alec Hardison/Eliot Spencer/Parker
I'm cool with either Eliot joining Hardison and Parker to form the OT3 before Leverage: Redemption and the three of them having an open relationship (so, therefore, Eliot's relationship w/Maria isn't cheating on Hardison and Parker), or for Eliot not to get together w/Parker and Hardison until after Leverage: Redemption season 1. Anyways, for some potential prompts:

• The first time Hardison takes Eliot and Parker to meet his Nana (and maybe Breanna as well).
• Eliot finally going home to see his dad again, and taking Parker and Hardison with him.
• Eliot has to fake date/marry Hardison or Parker for a con and that's what finally leads to the three of them getting together

Breanna Casey & Team Leverage
Alec Hardison & Breanna Casey
Breanna Casey & Parker

• Breanna's first time meeting Hardison and/or Parker
• The team teaching Breanna their specialties
• The team playing Spirit's Ruse together.

Breanna Casey/Emily Yoo

• If you know engineering principals, feel free to put as many of them as you can with these two
• Emily joining the team, if only briefly

Ragnarok (TV 2020)
Ragnarok-specific DNW(s)

• Isolde/male character
• Heavy focus on Saxa/Magne. I will accept references to their canon sexual interactions, but otherwise keep it to a minimum. I am fine with platonic interactions between the two of them

Ragnarok Waived DNW(s)

• Incest: I waive this DNW only for cases involving a combination of Fjor, Ran, Saxa, and/or Vidar if the fanwork takes place in a canon/canon-esque universe, since in canon (if I interpreted it correctly) the four Jutuls are not biologically related, but are rather merely pretending to be such. However, I would prefer if you keep any Saxa/other Jutul ships to the background. Incest in universes where the Jutul's are related by blood, or universes where they are not giants, is still a DNW. Likewise, incest involving any characters outside of those four is still a DNW.

General Ragnarok Like(s)

• Reincarnated gods having flashbacks to their past lives

Ragnarok Fanart Like(s):

• I have written one fanfic for Ragnarok and it is Saxa/Isolde; feel free to draw a scene from this fic.
• Lightning effects around Magne
• Saxa and Laurits having giant eyes

Isolde Eidsvoll & Magne Seier
Isolde Eidsvoll/Saxa Jutul

I'm grouping these two together because, quite frankly, all of them are rather Isolde centric, and all the listed prompts could work for either or both pairings.

• Valkyrie!Isolde
• Hel!Isolde
• Volva!Isolde
• Post Season 2, Saxa finds out that Isolde is alive and brings her to Magne for protection
• AU (Canon Divergence): Saxa was in love with Isolde, and after finding out Vidar killed her, she teams up with Magne
• Saxa and/or Magne rescues Isolde from the place she speaks to Magne from

Laurits Seier & Magne Seier

• Magne tells Laurits about him being Thor during season 1
• Laurits comes out to Magne, and Magne is supportive
• Magne supports Laurits being a member of Team Gods despite Woden's warning

RWBY
RWBY-specific DNW(s)

• References to Penny's suicide. References to her first death are allowed.
• White Rose, Circuit Breaker, and poly ships involving Ruby/Weiss or Jaune/Penny.
• Qrow being Ruby's biological father

General RWBY Like(s)

• Teamswap AU's
• Yang still having a prosthetic arm in non-canonverse AU's, whether it be because she was born with only one arm in the AU or because she lost it in the AU
• AU's where a non-faunus character is a faunus. Listed below are some faunus au's I enjoy, but feel free to use other ideas:
  
  • Arctic Fox!Weiss
  • Bear!Yang
  • Bird!Yang (especially if it involves Raven and Qrow also being bird faunus)
  • Swan!Weiss
  • Wolf!Ruby
• Team RWBY Jaune having magic powers post-Volume 8. Here is an example of potential powers for Team RWBY, but feel free to get creative with potential powers.
• Ruby is blinded in one or both eyes and has to learn to adjust to it
• Pyrrha gets brought back from the dead by Salem; maybe she's now part Grimm?
• Fall maiden!Pyrrha
• Spring maiden!Yang
• Autistic!Ruby
• Autistic!Penny
• I have the following queer headcanons, feel free to use or ignore them
  
  • Ruby: transfemme, aspec
  • Penny: trans girl, aspec
  • Yang: pansexual

RWBY Fanart Likes

• I have written several fanfics for RWBY, which can be found here. Several of them correspond to pairings I have requested; feel free to draw a scene from one of them.
• Maiden and silver eyes glowing with trails of light
• Yang's hair being stylized like a flame

Ilia Amitola/Blake Belladonna/Weiss Schnee

These ones specifically affect this group of characters

• Silver-eyed!Ilia AU
• AU where Ilia escaped the White Fang with Blake, and they attend Beacon together, only for one or both of them to end up on a team with Weiss (feel free to include minor OC characters/characters from other schools to fill out the extra team for whichever girl is the odd girl out of RWBY Ilia)

Emerald Sustrai/Yang Xiao Long

These specifically affect this group of characters

• Fall Maiden!Emerald
• AU where Emerald defects early

Tales of Arcadia

Because of all the retcons from later portions of the series, my stance on canon is such: Trollhunters and 3Below are canon, Rise of the Titans and the social media of Aaron Waltke other writers/artists is not, and Wizards and the side novels/comics are all on thin ice. If you're ever unsure of which lore should have prefeence in the fanwork you're making for this round of the Chocolate Box Exchange, please refer to the above.

Tales of Arcadia-Specific DNW(s)

• Kissing-induced pregnancy. Either ignore the seven kisses rule from RotT or convert it to marriage/engagement.
• I have several NOTP's for this series (as listed below), but many of them are canon. With canon NOTP's they can be mentioned but should be kept to the background; noncanon NOTP's shouldn't be mentioned at all.
  
  • Canon NOTP's: stricklake, dromura, nanavex, and any het ship for Mary
  • Noncanon NOTP's: ajim, kreamus/space camp, and any het ship for Douxie, Krel, Shannon, or Zoe
• Douxie being explicitly referred to as 919, especially if using the events of Wizards without any changes. I did the math, and, assuming he stopped aging at 19, and that he turned 19 around the time of the amulet's creation, it is impossible for him to be any older than 856 years old, given that the First Battle of Killahead Bridge occured sometime in the late 12th century (between 1180 and 1199) and Trollhunters takes place during the 2016-2017 school year.
• I know that in canon it's described as breaking the laws of physics, but Krel's wormhole does not break the laws of physics. The faster-than-light travel and communcation that Akiridions already had does break the laws of physics. Please avoid stating that Krel broke the laws of physics; it's a pet peeve for me as a physicist.
• Please avoid stating anything about changing the past; according to current physics theories on time travel the past cannot be changed, and Wizards also implies that the past wasn't actually changed despite characters fearing it would be.
• Given how Jim's named after his dad, I don't want Jim to be a trans boy. Other trans headcanons (including trans girl!Jim and AMAB nonbinary!Jim) are fine.

Tales of Arcadia Waived DNW(s)

• Feel free to kill of Morgana in whatever way you want (as long as it doesn't run against my other DNW's, such as the DNW for brain/skull trauma), but I would prefer if her death occured for one of these two reasons
  
  • Claire kills Morgana
  • Morgana sacrifices herself to save Claire

General Tales of Arcadia Like(s)

• Canon divergence post-Wizards - once again, feel free to pretend Rise of the Titans just never happened
• Jim remaining a half-troll at the end of Wizards
• Jim having changeling-like abilities at the end of Wizards, being able to transform between his human, half-troll, and perhaps even beast forms at will
• Krel having a connection to Gaylen's core
  
  • Krel being merged with Gaylen's core against his will, either because the connection was too strong, or because someone else wanted to use him as a weapon
  • Krel choosing to merge with Gaylen's core in a time of desperation, but not thinking through the consequences
  • Krel having wings like Gaylen's
  • Here are my headcanons for what Krel might look like post-merging with Gaylen's core (three pictures; they are all slightly different from one another). Feel free to use this, or to go with a different interpretation.
• AU's where a non-changeling character is now a changeling
• Wizard!Toby (especially if Nana is also a wizard) AU
• Wizard!Shannon AU
• AU where Claire knew she was a wizard prior to obtaining the Shadow Staff
• AU where Douxie attends Arcadia Oaks High instead of Arcadia Oaks Academy and joins the trollhunting team, creepslayerz, and/or the 3Below squad
• Mary, Darci, and/or Shannon joining the trollhunting team, creepslayerz, and/or the 3Below squad
• Touching an Akiridion's core as a form of intimacy (can be familial or romantic)
• Magic having mildly eldritch physical effects on wizards (hair turning white, sclera/pupils/irises turning unnatural colors, cracks forming)
• I have the following queer headcanons for the characters, feel free to use them or ignore them
  
  • Claire: Nonbinary, bisexual; when I write Claire as explicitly nonbinary I tend to use ae/aer pronouns for Claire but I'm also cool with an explicitly nonbinary Claire using they/them, she/her, or other neopronouns
  • Krel: Demiaroace, gay
  • Douxie: Gray-aromantic, gay
  • Mary: Lesbian, aspec
  • Shannon: Lesbian
  • Aja: Trans girl, either bisexual or lesbian
  • Jim: Bisexual
  • Toby: Pansexual
• The kids going off to college post-Wizards (or post a version of RotT that doesn't involve time travel or Steve's pregnancy)
• Claire being manipulated/mind controlled/possessed by Morgana

Tales of Arcadia Fanart Likes

• I have written over a hundred fanfics for Tales of Arcadia (the ones I've published to AO3 can be found here), and most of them correspond to one or more requested pairings. Feel free to draw a scene from any one of them.
• Claire having eyes like in the Ultimate Portal scene, her possession, or the Busting Jim Out of Jail scene. (Black sclera, gold or purple irises and pupils)
• Douxie's sclera, pupils, and irises turning blue
• Wizards having glowing eyes that change their sclera/iris/pupils in general
• Wizards whose hair is unnaturally white
• Wizards with cracks on their bodies like Claire in the Ultimate Portal scene
• Half-troll Jim wearing normal clothes. They can be normal human clothes or normal troll clothes, just let the blue boy wear something other than armor
• Akiridions having pointed ears under their bodysuits.
• Akiridions wearing human clothing, whether over their bodysuits or instead of them
• Aja and Krel having a crest like Coranda

The Adventure Zone: Graduation
TAZ:G-Specific DNW(s)

• Fitzraine, Tendermen, and ships involving Gray&the students are all NOTP's for me

General TAZ:G Like(s)

• Fitzroy being manipulated (and possibly even mind controlled) by Chaos and/or Order, and the fallout of this
• Argo being mind controlled by Gray, and the fallout of this
• Exploration of Argo being Gray's son (assuming that Gray was telling the truth in Episode 38, anyways)
• Modern (or modern but with half elves/firbolgs/genasi) college AU

TAZ:G Fanart Like(s)

• Fitzroy creating ace flag-colored lightning bolts
• Fitzroy wearing the ace flag as a cloak
• Fitzroy wearing an ace ring (Typically a plain black ring but some people put playing card symbols (the symbols have meanings, detailed here) and/or purple gems on theirs. The ace ring is worn on the middle finger of the right hand.)
• I have written one fic for this fandom; it fulfills two of the requested relationships so feel free to draw a scene from it

Crossover: Firefly & Star Wars
Cara Dune (The Mandalorian)/Kaylee Frye (Firefly)
Fennec Shand (The Mandalorian)/Kaylee Frye (Firefly)

Feel free to define how these two franchises interact. Is the Firefly Alliance the same as the Star Wars Rebel Alliance, or is the Firefly Alliance the empire? Is the star system that Firefly's part of just a small backwater part of the galaxy that the Empire and Rebel Alliance don't pay attention to? Is the Star Wars character being entirely divorced from her home setting and placed into the Firefly setting? Are Kaylee and the rest of the crew of the Serenity being entirely divorced from the Firefly setting and sent to the Star Wars universe?

In all honesty, the prompts I have for either of these pairings apply to both, so Cara and Fennec will both be referred to as SWL (Star Wars Lady) in the prompts. Feel free to include both or only one.

• SWL needs her ship/other gear repaired, and Kaylee is in need of work
• SWL hitches a ride on the Serenity
• SWL is hired as security at a fancy party - perhaps the shindig on Persephone from episode 4 of Firefly, perhaps a different party. What matters is that Kaylee is attending. Maybe to fix something, maybe to steal something, maybe for the same reason as the shindig on Persephone.

Crossover: Stranger Things & Tales of Arcadia

These is three separate ideas for crossovers between the two shows, but they can easily be merged together or kept separate. That being said, if for whatever reason you choose to have Steve Palchuck and Steve Harrington in the same fic, please find a way to keep it clear on who's who.

Crossover (ST&ToA)-Specific DNW(s)

All the DNW(s) from Tales of Arcadia apply, but in addition:

• Byler and mileven are both NOTP's for me. Please don't even mention byler; since it's canon mileven can be mentioned but should be kept to the background
• Ships involving the Arcadia Oaks High students and any of the Stranger Things characters.
• The Stranger Things kids (El, Dustin, etc.) being shipped with any of the Stranger Things older teens/adults. Likewise, if the Stranger Things kids are still kids in your fanwork, don't involve them in ships with the Tales of Arcadia characters.

Barbara Holland (Stranger Things) & Jim Lake Jr. (Tales of Arcadia)
Barbara Holland (Stranger Things)/Nomura (Tales of Arcadia)
Barbara Lake (Tales of Arcadia) & Nancy Wheeler (Stranger Things)

So, the gist of these three is an AU where Barb Holland survived the Upside Down and ended up marrying James Lake, moving from Hawkins, Indiana to Arcadia Oaks, California, and raising a son who ended up being involved in the supernatural at the same age she was.
(Yes, I know there's a 17/18 year difference between Stranger Things season 1 and Jim being born (presumably in 2001, given the timeline of Trollhunters), feel free to either ignore this, come up with an explanation for Barbara's graduation being delayed, or move the two shows closer together in time).

Prompts:

• Is the Upside Down the same as the Darklands? Either way, Barb could bond with Jim and/or Nomura based on their experiences in parallel worlds.
• Barb tried to stay away from the supernatural after escaping the Upside Down, but when she figures out that Jim's fighting the supernatural, she calls her high school BFF for advice

Kali Prasad (Stranger Things)/Zoe (Tales of Arcadia)
Robin Buckley (Stranger Things)/Zoe (Tales of Arcadia)
Robin Buckley/Kali Prasad (Stranger Things)/Zoe (Tales of Arcadia)

I'm going to put these prompts together, but some of these may only affect Kali/Zoe or Robin/Zoe

Feel free to make any of these relationships queerplatonic as opposed to romantic; I personally headcanon Zoe as a transgender orientated aroace lesbian but you do not need to go by this headcanon. That being said, here is some information on orientated aroaces. Also, if you choose to make the relationship queerplatonic and set during the canon time period of Stranger Things, feel free to either add an anarchism into queer history or just not have the girls refer to their relationship as queerplatonic, since the word queerplatonic wasn't coined until 2010.

• Zoe starts working at the same retail job as Robin
• Highly powered wizards can sense magic, and Zoe is powerful enough to realize that Kali's abilities are a type of magic. (Alternatively, Zoe senses El's magic and this leads her to Hawkins, which leads her to Robin)
• Kali comes to Hawkins, looking for El. She finds Robin instead. Either Zoe comes with Kali or was already in Hawkins.
• Robin is a wizard, but like Claire, her powers didn't awaken until after she started battling the supernatural.
• Robin and/or Kali, years later, living in/near Arcadia Oaks and possibly working for Hex Tech.

Colonel Kubritz (Tales of Arcadia) & Martin Brenner (Stranger Things)

The reasoning behind this is a potential connection between Area 49-B and Hawkins Lab. Are they rival test sites? Did Hawkins Lab get shut down, only for everything to be continued at Area 49-B? Whatever the connection, have fun exploring it!
