Chocolate Box Exchange
Dear Chocolatier!
Please don’t feel obligated to use my prompts! This letter is just in case you might want to poke at some more of my prompts/likes. Generally, I’m open to a lot, and I will be delighted with any rating from gen to explicit. My AO3 account is here.
My prompts may tend to the longer side, but I’d love just a snippet or a scene from any of them, or illustrations of any of the scenes, too ❤️
(If this letter cribs a lot from my other letters, it’s because I’m lazy, and my likes don’t change around that much :D You can find some of my other letters under the exchange letter tag. I hope you have fun creating!)

non-canon nicknames
Gokusen (art+fic)
(Pairing: Sawada Shin/Yamaguchi Kumiko)
How do I love this so much? I have no idea. I’m not even near high school age anymore, and yet the plot (and tbh, sometimes its ridiculous nature) always gets to me. I’d read more about any aspect of this canon though I am a little more partial to the manga, for giving me more content ;), and if you want to bring in any other characters, feel entirely free to. Post-canon would be great, but anything goes really.
How does Shin convince Yankumi to have sex with him? (A wonderful fic I got was with plenty of bad yakuza movies, which :D :D :D but I am always open for more! Maybe Shin speaks to Kumiko’s competitive spirit? Maybe he asks her to spite the police commissioner, by doing it in his house? Maybe there is some heavy kissing because they are trying to escape thugs/police/Kumiko’s students?) Is he getting kidnapped left and right before they actually get together because all and sundry already think they’ve been doing each other for years?
If they are already in an established relationship, how does Shin deal with Yankumi’s students (especially when one of them develops a crush)?
I’d be also super interested to see how other people view their relationship, like Shin’s father, Kumiko’s grandfather, the other yakuza groups, her students-- or simply Kumiko and Shin setting out to fight an up-and-coming group of delinquents, rescuing kittens, or Shirokin, from an overzealous school commissioner?
I have no problems about depicting violence, or graphic criminal activities, but please no major crimes involving children.
Inuyasha (art+fic)
(Paring: Inuyasha/Sesshoumaru)
I am here for all the contrived reasons to get them together. Hate!sex? Yes! Sex Pollen? You got me! Arranged marriage by their dad to keep dog demons with dog demons? I am here!
What I like is their contemptuous relationship with each other, that nevertheless evolves -- I like that they claim to not spit on the other if they were on fire, but when push comes to shove, they do help each other, and defend the other from their enemies. I like that they are halfbrothers, that they clearly recognise the power in each other, the underlying class issues, and all.
How about a small snippet of them teaming up together? Surprised by sex pollen, or a gender-changing well? time loops would be awesome! as would Inuyasha and Sesshomaru meeting again in the future, with Inuyasha time-travelling and Sesshomaru getting there the conventional way. Would also read soulmates!fic, or a sleeping beauty AU
I see both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru as fairly aggressive and forthright, and would prefer you not to characterise either of them as submissive (outside the bedroom).
Miss Marple (art+fic)
(Pairing: Miss Marple/OFC)
I am a fan of Miss Marple. I, too, have lived in a quiet town where you can see into the abysses of the human condition :D
I’d love to read something that lead her to the person we know her as, maybe when she went to the girl school in Switzerland? Maybe during her time in the cypher division, during the war — maybe the cypher division was really a cover for Miss Marple’s spy activities for the war office?
I’d also love fic about her as we know her: spending time in St. Mary Mead’s and solving crimes, quietly knitting her nephew another sweater. Was she maybe in love with a woman the whole time? Did she quietly retire into a cottage with her best friend, and everyone knows but doesn’t really?
Depending on when you set it, I would also love Miss Marple in a relationship one wouldn’t expect of her -- with a rival maybe? An enemy spy? A crossdressing motorcyclist, or a authoress of mystery novels. I would love an outsider POV on that! Or a 5 Times someone was surprised by Miss Marple’s companion thing.
Harry Potter (art+fic)
(Pairing: Amelia Bones/Minerva McGonagall)
I’d love to see a slow blossoming romance in the halls of the ministry, when they both started out as Aurors. Or maybe they are rivals, always competing for the same spots on specialisation teams and then, sparks fly, and there’s tension filled hate-sex? Maybe Minerva is Amelia’s auror trainer, or her superior officer, and Amelia keeps breaking the spirit of the rules while following the letter in the interest of capturing a culprit?
Would also read a story set later, when Minerva is already a Professor at Hogwarts! I love tiny extra bits of worldbuilding that show the inherent magic in the setting (like magic knitting needles, or self-filling tea sets)
(Feel free to disregard their entire backgrounds on Pottermore.)
Original Works (fic)
If you’d like to go wild with the pairings alone, that would be delightful! Otherwise, here are some thoughts:
Bored Female Physics Prof who Built a Time Machine Last Week/Female Human Intergalactic Ambassador
Long suffering Intergalactic Ambassador trying to reign in the mad genius that’s been time-travelling across history! What is there not to love?
Or; Intergalactic Ambassador is stranded on Earth and now this remarkable (beautiful, brilliant) woman has built a time machine with which she can get back to her people
adventures through time and space! physics prof trying to woo her lady love and getting stuck in time loops instead, and her lady love having to rescue her!
Classic Hollywood Female Screenwriter/Classic Hollywood Actress
they have a longterm relationship behind scenes
Screenwriter keeps writing roles for Actress, who is very annoyed at being typecast all the time and keeps bugging the writer about being a hack, and the Screenwriter is very condescending about her acting talents --> hatesex ensues
a happy ending for expies of Greta Garbo/Mercedes de Acosta maybe?
5 Times the press walked in on them having sex and didn’t realise it
Demon Brother/Half Demon Brother | Demon Hunter
idk, idk (I WANT IT LIKE BURNING) uhm, yes.
tempestuous relationships! drawn out seduction that devolves into physical confrontations!
xeno? vaguely inhuman anatomy? yes! sex pollen! ritual sex to do stuff!
maybe demon hunting together, demon brother freaking out that he’s a traitor to his race? demon hunter brother freaking out that he’s a traitor to his people? yet both of them not being able to resist each other
soulbonds
I’d like a happy or open ending, please!
Down-On-Her-Luck Aristocrat Forced to Become Barista/Emperor in Civilian Disguise
... this would be great set in SPACE. Fantasy? or 19th century Austria, either way, I am here for it
I am not to set on any gender! (The civilian disguise could even be crossdressed, for extra tropey-ness)
secret dates that lead to more! sneaking around to find a place to have sex in! and then it turns out they met before, and they have been lying to the other the whole time!
escaping bodyguards -- one thinks they are there for his debts, the other to collect him to the palace!
revolution? weird government shenanigans? reams of paperwork? beleaguered bureaucrats?
Fake Paranormal Investigator TV Host/Trolling Supernatural Creature
maybe the supernatural creature thinks the hotline for the show is a real helpline, and asks for help with the infestation of pixies, and then falls in love with the host and trolls him forever?
maybe the tv host keeps accidentally stumbling upon their real lair
prank calls: “Uhh, there’s a werewolf in my kitchen” and when the film crew arrives, there’s only the caller (who happens to be a werewolf)
Female Detective/Female Supervillain in Disguise
moral quandaries! maybe the detective figured it out way before, and didn’t say anything for plausible deniability
maybe the supervillain seduced them to keep her off track, and fell in love for real? and now she’s scared of saying anything at all?
maybe they both go to the same club to relax, sex happened, and now that they wake up they realise what they have done! most awkward morning after ever
Female Mob Boss/Female Undercover Detective
in SPACE! modern times! 1940s on the home front!
is it a planned seduction? does the detective set out to get secrets during pillow talk?
is it an unplanned seduction? does the detective have no other explanation for being in this gay club rn, and they have sex?
are they trying to seduce secrets out of each other, and more importantly, does it end with the both of them blowing this entire popsicle stand and eloping together to the wilderness?
Also here for pure smut: hate sex, switching power dynamics, ill-advised drunken one-night stands, sex for blackmail reasons
Female Pirate/Female Naval Officer
I would love this pairing in any setting, Mediterranean pirates of pre-Roman Empire, Egyptian pirates, Chinese pirates, privateers, pirates of the Caribbean, pirates in SPACE, smugglers…
Did they know each other before? Is the naval Officer perhaps a point of contact for the crown for a privateer? I like an aspect of danger in my ships, but I don’t like totally unredeemable characters.
Does the pirate capture the naval officer for ransom? To seduce her to the dark side? hate!sex! stranded on an island/planet with sex pollen!
Does the naval officer capture the pirate, and the pirate seduces her for her freedom? Or both at once?
Female Regency Crossdressing Rake/Regency Bluestocking
They meet at a ball, and flirt. Then they meet again at the next ball (or the theatre, or gambling halls) and their relationship continues. The crossdressing Lady is very worried about being actually a woman, and pretending to be a man, but the other Lady found out the very first night and is totally cool with it.
How does the crossdressing work? Is she pretending to be her own brother because he’s off to Gretna Green (or wherever) to get married, or do people dismiss the rumours that she’s a lady because of her general attitude?
There are no tropes that could make this bad for me! :D
I would enjoy this in a world without homophobia, just as I would enjoy this if they had to pretend to be a heterosexual couple forever (though I would enjoy it more if they had the support of at least one of their friends/family, or a community behind them)
Female Selkie/Original Female Character
I did not have space for the anglerfish selkie or the squid selkie, so clearly i compromised. Plain selkies are also awesome!
OFC is manning a selkie rescue station -- she steals back stolen skins; and never has she been so tempted to keep this one
OFC is a ship captain, who is rescued by the selkie and falls in love
OFC is a fisherwoman, who catches a selkie accidentally, and then retires in the lighthouse
King (Elderly)/Evil Vizier
hatesex! confused boners! a scheme plotted out by the King to secure the reign of his heir
the King is blackmailed into a relationship by his vizier, and he could try to resist, but doesn’t because he likes to be submissive in bed, and it’s so hard to find good doms at his age
they have been pining for each other for all of the King’s reign, and during a terrorist attack (?) they are sex pollened
Librarian/Patron With A Very Overdue Library Book
Librarian is part of a secret cabal of librarian assassins, and they hunt the patron down
The book is alive and doesn't want to go back to the library. It keeps on sneaking back into the patron's backpack to leave with them,
the patron is a ghost, trying to return a book from 200 years ago
hatesex
Patron with late book is actually using it in his attempts to summon the Old Ones and has already lost some sanity points in his attempts, he refuses to return the book until he is successful
The book is one of a kind and contains some secret ciphers and codes that are needed in the on-going plot to save the world. However, the patron ends up needing to also borrow some other unique books from the same library and struggles with explaining this to the unamused librarian who has a waiting list for that first book.
idk, idk, i have no ideas, but i’d love absolutely anything, and i am thirsty
time-travel! set in space! passive-aggressive notes back and forth! the patron tries to insist on their perceived superiority! and then they have to donate enough money to fund an entire new children’s department!
Loyal Knight/Professional Gambler Crossdressing As a Woman
confused boners
why the crossdressing? just because? does it confuse his gambling partners? the people he’s in debt to?
i can only tell you that i’d be into it
set in space! set in a fantasy hub! Star Wars AU! Italian Renaissance! 18th century France!
New Male Supervillain Struggling to Control Superpowers/Superhero
supervillain becomes accidental villain because of their destructive powers, superhero tries to redeem him
supervillain’s power is mind altering, and he thinks he is influencing the superhero with his powers, but the superhero has a really terrible crush on them
supervillain thinks his power is mind altering, when in fact it’s something else
supervillain’s powers are mind altering, and he seduces the superhero, and rescues him from the government who had them working for free? idk, this isn’t planned out that well
superhero seduces supervillain to do good
Pirate/Pirate
I would love pirates absolutely anywhere, Scottish smugglers, piracy on rivers, Mediterranean pirates of pre-Roman Empire, Egyptian pirates, Chinese pirates, privateers, pirates of the Caribbean, pirates in SPACE.
f/f pairings would be great, just as m/m pairings, or f/m, whatever floats your boat (heh)
Two different pirate ships try to stop a ship of loot/weapons/high profile people from arriving at its location. Two of the opposite crew fall in love along the way.
The First Mate oils their muscles, and it’s the best thing that ever happened to this bosun (or the worst, depending). There are various bets about the futility of this most obvious crush.
The smuggling cave is only accessible during low tide, and it’s only known to the pirates, yet their stash of high-grade alcohol/sauerkraut/sails/unobtainium keeps vanishing, and so they set out a trap, and it turns out to be another pirate who needs it to help heal some other dudes.
The captain is so throughly annoyed by two of his crew members, he makes them sleep in the same cabin (or the hammocks nearest to each other) for the entire voyage, and they keep falling into the wrong bed because of reasons. (Optionally, hate-sex — or they are united by their hatred for this clearly unreasonable captain and overthrow him.)
Regency Lizard Monster Coffee Shop Owner/Down-on-His-Luck Aristocrat
here for xeno! or urban fantasy! or space coffee shops!
is the lizard monster pretending to be a human, and the aristocrat finds out but nobody wants to believe him?
does the aristocrat want a job, but fails at How to greet a Lizard Monster 101?
Royal Uncle Looking to Inherit/King's Pirate Captain Identical Twin
identity shenanigans! hate sex! court intrigue!
does the royal uncle know about the identical twin, or was he raised in secret for assassination prevention, and now he roams the Seven Seas, or the space equivalent of that
the identical twin seduces the uncle, so that they can inherit together
the King deliberately introduces his two heirs to each other so they can fight it out, and they have plenty of hatesex
Successful Businesswoman/High School Rival
hatesex behind the bleachers on their 10th highschool anniversary
hatesex during their unexpected meeting at the new gallery opening in town! and then their best friends get married to each other, and much embarrassment all around
Supervillain/Superhero's Sidekick
hatesex, sexpollen
trying to seduce secrets out of each other! identity shenanigans! moral quandaries!
Female BNF/Female fandom newcomer
... look, i just want to know where this is going, okay? I’d love something inspired by Mina de Malfois; or like, whatever!
is there fandom wank about it? is it just a quiet lovely back and forth?
Crossover Fandoms (art+fic)
Victoria Winslow (RED)/Female M (Bond)
Victoria as one of M’s double Os; headstrong and stubborn and a loose canon
did they know each other before M became M? (was there hatesex, and now it’s an awkward relationship that might turn into more?)
Victoria Winslow breaks into M’s apartment with the intent to seduce her; M is prepared for the entry, but expected a man, and now Victoria is there
Victoria is in trouble somewhere, and M accidentally rescues her; Victoria has to show her her appreciation someway
Susan Pevensie (Narnia)/Minerva McGonagall (HP)
They could have met when they were young, being roughly the same age, or later. Childhood friends!
Susan Pevensie becomes the first muggle to enter the Department of Mysteries, on account of her crossing worldstreams before, and that’s where she meets Minerva, who has to open the doors for her every day
Susan is the first muggle to ignore the anti-Muggle charms on Diagon Alley, and Minerva is sent to investigate
Phryne Fisher (MFMM)/Jane Marple (Marple - Christie)
teaming up to solve a murder!
teaming up to drive a poor inspector up the wall
teaming up during the war, codebreaking! and seeking comfort with each other
they went to girl’s school together, and now have to relive old glory days!
definitely here for Phryne and Jane being each other’s lesbian experience
John Constantine (Hellblazer)/Severus Snape (Harry Potter)
they’d be so glorious together! I’m here for all the fucked-up-ness this pairing can generate
hatesex? sex pollen? :D i hate repeating myself, but really, anything would be great; I’d love a AU in which John convinces Severus to not join the death eaters because they are all wankers anyway
or a AU in which Severus survives and joins John on madcap adventures trying to survive eldritchs horrors
or like, a one-night-stand that ends in Severus hearing the prophecy and defecting from Lord Voldemort
or like, anything, please, i really want this like burning, and i saw this in the tagset, and how is there only one story of this yet, really, anything, please
also, I’d love if they’d bonded up over their chavness, or something. really, anything would be great
Jane Marple (Marple - Christie)/Minerva McGonagall (HP)
I’d love Miss Marple snooping her way into the Scottish ruin, and finding out there’s a Wizarding World
maybe they are childhood friends?
maybe working at the cypher division is a code word for Department of Mysteries, during the war?
I’d love outsider POV for this; maybe Harry noticing that Minerva is living together with another woman, and it turns out to be Miss Marple? and they bond over having books written about them
Cher Horowitz (Clueless)/Elle Woods (Legally Blonde)
Do they meet in law school? Or before, or after?
I want them to be competent, and brilliant, and dazzle each other with their excellent taste in clothes. I want them to be besieged by terrible human beings, and persevere. I want them to cuddle on a sofa, and inspire so many girls to do great things. I want them to grow as human beings, and be kind and positive, and succeed. (And I want one of them to be President.)
Also excellent would be: Elle does criminal law, Cher is in charity work, and they need to solve this embezzlement case.
But I’m also here for the porn, because that would also be amazing. Or like, buying a house together. Getting married. Deciding to adopt a puppy together.
