Rare Pair Exchange Letter 2024
Thanks so much for creating something for me! I've listed some general likes and prompts in this letter if you need inspiration, but feel free to go with your own ideas as long as they aren't in my DNWs!
DNWs:
- Bestiality
- Omegaverse
- Underage (<16) characters in sexual situations (romantic okay!)
- Mpreg
- Heavy angst
- Genderbending or other non-canon gender identities
- Body horror
- Cheating/infidelity in requested ships
- Poly or other ships unless requested
- Total noncon where the victim feels no pleasure
General likes:
- Pining
- Fluff
- Hurt/comfort
- Age differences
- Regency-era settings
- Older/senior characters finding love
- Forced/pretend relationship tropes
- Beards/facial hair on guys (descriptions of stuff like beard burn, finding beards attractive, etc.)
- Baras/big buff guys
- Older baras with facial hair ...
Hades (Video Game)
Specific DNWs: Depictions of Hades as explicitly abusive towards Zagreus (distant, cold, callous, jerkish, all fine, just not deliberately cruel), Hades 2 spoilers
Hades/Persephone
I would love anything about Hades/Persephone, I just love them so much. Could be pre-canon from the time Persephone first arrived in the Underworld and they're awkwardly getting to know each other, post-canon where they're getting used to each other again, reaffirming their love, maybe Hades grovels for Persephone's forgiveness a lil bit :) Also domestic fluff would be great, Persephone forcing Hades and Zagreus to awkwardly hug, or smut with a focus on how big and gorgeous Hades is <3
Hades/Nyx/Persephone
I would actually be very happy with Hades/Nyx & Hades/Persephone! Very much interested in the emotional aspect of this over the sex (I mean, that's great too). Like Hades has apologised to Persephone but has he apologised to Nyx? Huh? They were pretending to be a married couple for a while there, you telling me that was never awkward for them? I love Hades a lot so I just want him to clean up after all the emotional messes he leaves behind, y'know. Maybe there's ~feelings~ from the time Persephone was absent which they never acted upon because they're both too loyal to Persephone or maybe Nyx has been interested in Hades from the time Zeus assigned him to the Underworld but then Persephone arrived and Nyx thought she lost her chance until Persephone returns and gives them permission (or possibly forces them) to act? Alternatively, Hades and Persephone find out about Ares' interest in Nyx and decide that that's not good, Nyx has to stay in the family :D
Quick note that my cheating DNW still applies here, would prefer that nothing explicitly happen between Hades and Nyx without Persephone's consent. Fic that focuses on the relationship between Hades and Nyx with the understanding that Persephone knows is fine.
Original Work
God of Death/Mortal Woman He Tricks Into Dying So He Can Have Her
You know about Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld? Don't worry about it. Anyway, this concept sounds like a lot of fun! You can go the dark route where the woman is upset about dying, terrified of this god who she may or may not know about (is he a god she worshipped when she was alive?) and may or may not even look human-ish, who is determined to have her. Dubcon would be great here! Or you can do something cuter a la Offenbach's Orpheus where the woman wasn't that happy in life anyway and now she's being propositioned by a hot powerful deity and finding that death is actually pretty fun.
The Royal Tutor/Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine
Fandom-specific DNWs: smut, in-depth exploration of Eins's canon mental health issues (e.g. his thought process during his suicidal period), focus on Matilda (mentioning her canon importance is fine but by God do I hate this plotline, keep it away from me)
Prompts: I would love anything with these two as long as it has a happy ending. Go for an exploration of their relationship post-canon, confessing/discussing their feelings, Ernst helping Eins overcome his trauma, or even go for AUs where they're roommates, end up in an arranged marriage, or anything that inspires you. Would also love fix-it AUs where Eins's issues aren't about a girl but maybe he actually has some mental illness like a mood disorder or a neurodivergence that he's struggling with because people haven't discovered therapy yet and he needs to be told that it's okay to be different and Ernst is willing to support him no matter what.
If you do go the neurodivergence route, it's up to you what you think he might have or you can leave out mentioning anything explicit (e.g. symptoms, they wouldn't have known them very well back then anyway) but please don't choose something that would change Eins's character or wouldn't make sense with his character (just as a totally random example, he probably doesn't have oppositional defiant disorder. Probably).
