Just Married 2025 Letter
Hi, thank you for making something for me! I've been wanting to participate in this exchange for years but I was always overwhelmed by the tagset requirement. So this year I decided to just go for the general tags for which I apologise but I hope my letter will help give some ideas!
DNWs:
- Bestiality
- Omegaverse
- Underage (<16) characters in sexual situations (romantic okay!)
- Mpreg
- Heavy angst
- Genderbending or other non-canon gender identities (exception for OKH mentioned below)
- Body horror
- Character bashing
- 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, fine, just not deliberately cruel), Hades 2 spoilers
Nyx/Hades
Tags: Fake Marriage, Fake Marriage - Turns Into Real Love
I am a sucker for fake/pretend relationships and I love the one these guys have. I would love to see anything about them pretending to be a married couple for Zagreus' sake pre-canon or dealing with the complicated aftermath of that post-canon. Nyx mentions in the game that they sometimes 'forgot' they were pretending and if that's not fic fodder idk what is. I'm sure that Hades would never even dream of loving anyone other than Persephone (at least without her permission) but he could have complicated feelings about it, whether they started sleeping together or if it was just emotionally complicated. For post-canon stuff, I would love for something that ends with Nyx joining Hades and Persephone's relationship but I would like the focus to remain on the relationship between Hades and Nyx.
Hades/Persephone
Tags: Established Marriage, Forced Marriage, Established Marriage - Falling in Love with Spouse, Established Marriage - Happily Married
I would love anything cute and fluffy with these two, or a bit of angst or hurt/comfort with a happy ending. I chose these tags with the thought of how they negotiate their relationship after Zeus drops Persephone off at Hades' doorstep but falling in love (again) can definitely apply to post-canon when they get together again.
Ancient Greek Religion & Lore
Specific DNWs: Mentions of Hades/Persephone currently being with other partners (past relationships like Leuce/Minthe is fine), depictions of Hades and Persephone as explicitly evil entities (justifiably cruel is fine, great even).
Hades/Persephone
Tags: Forced Marriage, Fake Marriage, Arranged Marriage, Established Marriage
Anything about these guys would make me happy as long as it has a happy ending. Forced marriage is the traditional one with the kidnapping and all, but I've chosen other tags that would work for alternate retellings, like Zeus (secretly) giving Persephone to Hades or giving him permission to have her, or maybe Persephone wants to get away from her role as the maiden and sees marrying Hades as the solution to that somehow. Or you can just go for some domestic fluff when they're happily married.
The Royal Tutor/Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine
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)
Eins von Granzreich/Ernst von Rosenberg
Tags: Arranged Marriage, Fake Marriage, Fake Marriage - Used to Fend Off Unwanted Suitors
Marriage is such a big part of their thing although it's mostly Rosenberg setting Eins up with other people so how about them getting married to each other? Also totally fine with gender-bending one or the other (more likely Ernst) to make it more historically accurate if you like lol. In an AU where Ernst is a prince/ss betrothed to Eins from a young age, how does that change their dynamic? Or go for an AU where Eins is fed up with all the meddling in his personal life (or decides to give up working on his fear of women) and decides to marry Ernst for political/practical reasons? How does Ernst take it and how do they adapt?
