Dear Trick or Treater 2021
Sep. 15th, 2021 04:49 pmHello! My AO3 name is Aeriel and thank you for even considering writing for me! I love these canons and these characters and if we matched on them I assume you do too, so that's great!
Some general fic DNWs that may or may not be likely to come up in the contexts of these fandoms: body horror, public humiliation, cancer and other long-term serious illness, graphic non-con/rape, characters getting dumped 'for their own good', zombies, cruelty to animals, characters aggressively pursuing someone romantically who genuinely has no interest in them.
Blossom Culp Series- Richard Peck
Blossom Culp, Alexander Armsworth (Trick or Treat)
I've been re-reading these books lately and rediscovering how fun they are just in time for the Halloween season! As great as it is when Blossom has to drag Alexander kicking and screaming into an adventure, it'd be nice to see Alexander stumble into a ghost or haunting or other supernatural problem himself again and have to grudgingly ask for Blossom's help or work it out on his own. Or perhaps Blossom leaves town, makes good, and when she runs into Alexander again he's shocked to realize he's happy to see her again (and might even be willing to attempt some romance? Optional but appreciated!) Or Blossom goes abroad someplace with a slightly different local perspective on spirits and becomes unexpectedly sought after? I'd love to see an adult Blossom who's found her calling, and an Alexander who's grown something of a backbone and figured himself out a bit more, but I'd be just as happy to see more of them as awkward teenagers!
Crossover Fandom
Kurama | Minamino Shuichi (Yu Yu Hakusho) & Medicine Seller (Mononoke)
So my first thought here was the Medicine Seller crossing paths with Kurama in the bad old days, but I'd also be very interested to see the Medicine Seller in the 90s, investigating a disturbance at the same time as Kurama (one that may or may not involve Kurama himself directly). What might Kurama make of the Medicine Seller? Would he already be known to Kurama even if he'd never actually met him in person? I don't think Kurama's nature would trouble the Medicine Seller, but it might be inconvenient if it came up say, with him and Kurama trapped in a situation involving Kurama's human classmates/coworkers/casual acquaintances.
モノノ怪 | Mononoke (Anime & Manga)
Medicine Seller
I really enjoyed watching this anime for the first time this year, and I just loved the style and the almost anthology-like format. So I'd be delighted to get another spooky/sad/dramatic tale, whether it be totally standalone or feature the return of Kayo or another supporting character from one of the episodes but I'd also be delighted to see something like the Medicine Seller encountering less harmful supernatural phenomena or in a different era from the ones we see him in canonically, since we know that time marches on but he doesn't seem to change.
Kushiel's Legacy- Jacqueline Carey
Alcuin no Delaunay & Imriel de la Courcel
In a universe where Alcuin survived the attack on Delaunay's home, it seems inevitable that he would have met Imriel. Even if he took Hyacinthe's place with the Master of the Straits, he still would've encountered Imriel upon Phedre freeing him. I think it would've been really interesting having such a different male role model in Imriel's life besides Joscelin. Alcuin as teacher, or Alcuin as sort of uncle/godfather figure, or both? I initially imagined this request with the Imriel of Scion or earlier, but it occurs to me now that Alcuin would be a really interesting confidant for Imriel when he reached the point of struggling with attraction/feelings for Sidonie, given all we know Alcuin was willing to do for love. What advice might Alcuin have for Imriel? Or, what might helping to raise Imriel do to heal Alcuin's heart?
Sidonie de la Courcel
I feel like one of the few people who fell super hard for Sidonie super quickly. She's so prickly and self-contained and fierce! I would especially love fic with her dealing with what happened with Astegal, because I felt kind of cheated out of that part of her arc. But I am also totally here for fic with her growing up and bonding with Alais and/or Ysandre, or sometime in the future ruling Terre d'Ange. Or interacting with Phedre (and/or Joscelin)! Or interacting with Barquiel! Or interacting with Melisande! (Or as a special AU treat, Alcuin!) Shipwise I like Sidonie's canon love interests very much (and I'll include Maslin in that category) and would also be interested in her interacting with any Night Court adepts providing it didn't break up her marriage or anything, but by no means feel compelled to write something shippy if you don't want to.
