TRICK OR TREAT EXCHANGE LETTER

Hi dear trick or treat-er!  I'm really excited to see what you make! I had such a great time with the Halloween Exchange last year that - I really love fic exchanges, and Halloween so it's an easy equation for fun!

I outlined some prompts in my sign-up but here's a little bit of inspiration for you and some more details on the characters I chose. I do list different pairings I like for each of the 5 fandoms I requested, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love character studies and friendship fic! Obviously  you use as as much or as little as is helpful to you! I just ask that you respect my dislike list.


LIKES: love tropey fics, any friends-to-lovers, slow burn, world building, soulmates, soul-bonding, mutual pining, domestic things/domesticity, "woke up married," fake dating (for a case!).

Gen is also completely welcome, and friendships/friendship domesticity and loyalty would be amazing, especially for YOUNG JUSTICE or THE RAVEN CYCLE requests. Character study, world building, magical fusion, monsters and supernatural elements and monsters welcome, honestly. Fantasy, spooky settings. Please feel free to get as imaginative as you please.


DISLIKES: I played it safe again on the "trick or treat" selection for most of the fandoms, because while I wholeheartedly endorse supernatural AUs and Halloween related spooky themes, I'm not really looking for horror or anything super sad? Other general dislikes: Grim/Dark!fic, crack!fic, non-con, major character death or heavy/hard-core bdsm/ related kinks.


YOUNG JUSTICE
Kaldur'ahm, Dick Grayson, Artemis Crock, Conner Kent

I'm pretty much still riding a wave of excitement after the Comic-Con panel leaks that showed Kaldur, Artemis, Dick, and Conner as some sort of super stealth-y, black-Ops team! After season 2, how Kaldur Dick and Artemis were a team tethered by such a deep level of trust, holding each other together - it's everything I could possibly want. The three of them on a team together. I would love anything about this team, how they function now after all the years and losses. How did they bring Dick back in from his sabbatical/the cold?

More specific pairings: Kaldur/Dick, Kaldur/Dick/Artemis, Kaldur/Conner/Dick, OT4
 
πŸŽƒ Soft moments of mutual domesticity where they care for each other's wounds. (And make out.)
πŸŽƒ How they brought Dick back to the team after Wally's death/his sabbatical. Kaldur to Dick "You told me once to trust you to pull me back. Trust me now, old friend."
πŸŽƒ any "we're the only non-meta's on the team, we've got to stick together" Dick & Artemis
πŸŽƒTeam dresses up as they're favorite heroes for a Halloween party/group costumes and a Halloween part. 


The RAVEN CYCLE

Blue Sargent, Ronan Lynch

I love, love the friendship between Blue and Ronan and this is probably the shortest details paragraph for any of the fandoms I picked, haha. Any sort of mutual comfort and friendship based domesticity would be amazing. The weaving of real magic and fortune telling is very much my favorite thing, and I really love the idea of reading some more Raven Cycle for Halloween. As long as Ronan and Blue's friendship is central than I'm happy!

optional pairings: Blue/Gansey, Ronan/Adam, Blue/Gansey/Ronan (requited/unrequited?)

πŸŽƒ Halloween Parties. Matching costumes. Partners in crime themes.
πŸŽƒ "We both love, Gansey" comforting, and/or magical and supernatural themes.
πŸŽƒ Curtain!fic


The GOOD PLACE
Chidi Anagonye, Eleanor Shellstrop, Tahani Al-Jamil

The Good Place was a real surprise. I binge watched it on a whim and I adored it. Eleanor is so perfectly middle of the road terrible, and I love how Kristen Bell drove fully into that characterization but still made her likable and funny. All of the cast is so funny, and the setting is perfect for not only magical fusion ridiculousness, but Halloween spooky-ness. I picked the three characters I adored, who I'd love to see together in whatever you make. I know they never got fully to a place where they were a team but I'd love to see them that way. I also love that Eleanor had a crush on both Chidi and Tahani and I am really okay with her being shipped with either of them or some OT3.

Optional pairings: Chidi/Eleanor, Eleanor/Tahani, Chidi/Eleanor/Tahani

πŸŽƒ Dead like Me AU: or, how do we get Eleanor enough points to stay in the Good Place.
πŸŽƒ Tahani tries to throw a Halloween Bash in the afterlife, by Eleanor keeps making things go sideways. Things start to come alive and go wrong. The Bad Place crew comes are Lock, Shock and Barrel in real "life."
πŸŽƒ SPOILER ALERT FOR S1 FINALE, HIGHLIGHT FOR PROMPT: OT3 "they're already in hell, why not tango?" |


The WICKED + The DIVINE
Inanna, Baphomet, Baal, Cassandra Igarashi, Dionysus

I accidentally fell in love with WicDiv, and devoured the first four TPs immediately. Inanna from the get go was my favorite, but as we've entered the imperial cycle Baphoment as gone from irritating fuck-boy to someone I want to be happy. His team-up and friendship, however short-lived, with Inanna helped that. Cassandra is the character I most identify with, and character study about Cassandra, how she doesn't really want to be a part of the pantheon? I'll go more into prompt ideas with regards to Dionysus, but most of all. GHOST INANNA, HAUNTINGS BY INANNA, CANON DIVERGENCE OR SURPRISE INANNA LIVED, is pretty much my jam. Because that was the character that really sucked me in and having him pulled out of the story so soon had me desperate for fix it fic to be honest.

pairings: Inanna/Baal, Inanna/Baphomet

πŸŽƒ Dionysus & Inanna's powers interacting, what that would look like.
πŸŽƒ Inanna haunting Baal and/or Baphomet. Maybe on Halloween he can come back for one night and be reunited?
πŸŽƒ Pantheon character studies. Cassandra exploring more of their powers? Dionysus interacting with the pantheon. Seeing Dionysus in the quiet, when the party is over and the reality is unavoidable. 


PRETTY LITTLE LIARS
Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, Mona Vanderwaal

Of all the grievances I've had with PLL over the years, the final episode is probably my biggest one? Spencer and Mona were two of my favorite characters in the entire series, and the way that 1) Mona was never allowed into the group fully, and 2) Janel Parrish is such a strong actress and her acting was misused by the writers not wanting to lean fully into darker story-lines were major frustrations for me as a viewer. After what happened in the dollhouse I really hoped Mona and Spencer would get to team up Girl Genius style like they hinted at when Spencer joined the A Team, but alas. Grievance 3) Spencer deserved a happier ending.

For the record, I'm not a fan of Ezra or Ezra with Aria, so I'd generally dislike a fic around their relationship or their wedding. Canon divergence where Team Sparia realizes they're in love though? Dream Come True ♥

General ships: Spencer/Aria, Spencer/Mona(/Toby), background Spencer/Toby

πŸŽƒ the ANTI- A team, canon divergence of season 3. Spencer, Mona, and Toby as the dark, hood-y wearing triad that we almost had. Meet ups and sketchy plans over pie. slow-burn in the background.
πŸŽƒ Creepy Halloween or Noir like PLL Halloween Special, maybe in DC and Mona and Spencer have to team up?
πŸŽƒ Sparia Curtain!Fic, how they heal and fall in love?
