Dear Chocolatier

[cookiegirl]

Hi lovely writer! Thank you so much in advance for making something for me, and for taking the time to read this letter! <3 I can't wait to see what you come up with and I hope you have fun! You can find my ao3 account at cookiegirl

 

Do Not Wants:

• pregnancy or babies (except in The New Normal)
• unhappy endings, or hurt without comfort
• permanent deaths of requested characters

• suicide (mentions are okay)
• permanent injury causing paralysis
• incest
• weddings as a major plot point
• identity headcanons
• unrequested changes to a character's gender
• first or second person narration
• fic set many years after canon ends
• different setting AUs (D/S AUs are great though!)
• covid-19, pandemics, zoom-style meetings
• shibari, fisting, ball gags & hoods, cross-dressing, face-sitting

General Likes:

• fic that concentrates on the characters and their relationships
• spanking & discipline (especially over-the-knee, though even a single swat or a threat will make me happy! Consensual or non-consensual are both fine!)
• hurt/comfort (physical or emotional)
• protectiveness
• possessiveness
• found family
• reluctant care-takers and caretakees
• characters trying to look tough but turning out be vulnerable
• snark and banter
• angst and fluff combined
• characters working through tricky emotions and having happy endings
• us against the world
• gift-giving
• 5 times or 5+1
• undercover as a couple/as parent and child

For romantic ships, I also love:

• getting together
• D/S (especially with a bratty sub)
• domestic discipline
• sexual spanking especially with discipline roleplay, or spanking for stress relief or guilt 
• kink negotiation
• age difference
• strength
• man-handling
• first time doing something for one or both participants

For more in-depth thoughts on kink, here's my idproquo letter :)

FANDOMS:

Falsettos (Lapine/Finn)
Relationships: Marvin/Whizzer

Fandom-specific DNW: mentions of Whizzer's death; I would prefer anything to be set either before his diagnosis (before More Racquetball) or in a modern AU where he can be treated, please!

 

I love this musical so much. My favourite iteration is the 2016 Broadway revival. I love how complex and flawed Whizzer and Marvin and their relationship is, and how much they grow throughout the story, and how hard they try even though they often get it wrong. 

Possible prompts:
 

- Marvin and Whizzer practising domestic discipline after they get back together, or Marvin spanking Whizzer in any capacity! Does Marvin do it one time in the early days when Whizzer drives him mad? Is it under-negotiated but still hot? Whizzer taking control is also super welcome - maybe Marvin needs absolution for the past?

 

- D/S in the bedroom with Whizzer subbing but being bratty about it. Or, the first time one of them subs?

 

- Mild sickfic with Whizzer being a demanding patient and Marvin being a reluctant caretaker. Or one or both of them looking after Jason

 

- Whizzer and Marvin having to deal together with some sort of issue involving Jason – Jason being upset about something, or getting in trouble, or anything really. Just the little family unit of three working through stuff and figuring things out

- Valentine's Day/s with them! Is there extravagant gift-giving to win each other's affection? Or gift-giving on only one side? Pre-canon, does Marvin try to find a way to spend it with Whizzer? How do their celebrations change between pre-act 1, act 1 and act 2? 

 

The New Normal
Relationships: Bryan/David; Bryan & Shania
Watch it here

This show is so adorable! Bryan is just the BEST. I love Bryan and David’s relationship and the way their personalities complement each other, and they look after each other and accept everything about each other. And I adore Bryan and Shania’s friendship, and how smart Shania is.

 

Potential prompts:

 

- My headcanon is that David and Bryan practice domestic discipline, so anything to do with this would be awesome (My preference is for David spanking Bryan but I could maybe see them sometimes switching). I'd love to see them starting the arrangement, or any scenes from within it. Or maybe having to awkwardly and embarrassedly explain what's going on to Goldie if she figures out something's happening! Or a Five Times fic to do with this subject would be super fun (5 times David spanks Bryan and one time he spanks David?)

 

- David looking after a demanding Bryan when Bryan’s a bit ill (that time he had SARS maybe!), or Bryan looking after Shania when she's ill (does Shania drag it out way longer than necessary to get more attention from Bryan?)

- Bryan throwing a needlessly OTT party for Valentine's Day on his and David's behalf

 

- Any cute fights (and make-ups) about fatherhood

 

- Bryan and Shania bonding about anything; Bryan learning how to do fatherly stuff by looking after Shania and encountering unexpected situations; Shania turning to Bryan when upset

- Bryan pretending to be Shania's dad for some sort of school event

 

The Prom (Netflix, 2020)
Relationships: Trent Oliver & Shelby

I love this musical! One of the best things about the Netflix adaptation for me was Andrew Rannells as Trent, and his interactions with Shelby and the other teenagers. I would love to see some more of him in the weeks and months after the movie. How is he adjusting to his new role as a teacher? Does he have any idea what he's doing? Is it what he expected it to be? What are his relationships like with the students?

Anything with him and Shelby would be super fun, and I would especially love to see her confiding in him, or him helping her through some sort of problem, either school or home-related. Or perhaps Trent is struggling with some aspect of teaching or small-town life, and Shelby is the one to help him?

I'm also a fan of Trent's amusingly fraught relationship with DeeDee, so any mentions of her would be more than welcome!

Smash (NBC)
Relationships: Tom & Julia, Tom & Ivy, Tom & Derek, Tom/Derek

Yes, I am a fan of Tom :D I love his excitability, his passion for writing, his willingness to take on anything, his sense of humour and his occasional petulance. I adore his friendships with Julia and Ivy, and his rivalry with Derek and their complicated working relationship. I love Tom's loyalty to his friends and happiness for them when they succeed, the way he sees them as family, his co-dependence with Julia, his sweetness and gentleness, and his willingness to look after them.  I love how Tom is firm with Julia sometimes and tries to get her to stay away from Michael. I ADORE the scene after she walks out on their anniversary 'date' (1x10, I think). And I love that he doesn't just give in to Julia's demand to fire Michael, because he thinks the good of the show and the cast is more important, and that he stands firm with Ivy when she doesn’t want her mother involved in the show and when she doesn’t want to take direction from him.

Potential prompts:

- How does the period when they live together go for Tom and Julia? Do they drive each other mad but also cuddle and take care of each other?

- How did Tom and Julia/Tom and Ivy become friends in the first place? What was their first fight about?

 

- Tom finding out about how bad Ivy felt at the end of season 1 is also something I would really like to see explored. Or Ivy relying on pills more and Tom helping her through it.

 

- Tom and Derek fighting, addressing their history, learning to work together, just generally annoying each other and then either making up as friends or more-than-friends.

- I would love to see some D/S with Tom and Derek. Or maybe pre-slash where Tom or Derek realizes they actually kind of likes it when Derek orders Tom around at work or manhandles him...?  

- Tom stepping in with Julia or Ivy and stopping a self-destructive behavior. With spanking? *makes heart eyes*

 

Spinning Out (Netflix TV)
Relationships: Mitch & Serena

Fandom-specific DNWs: anything sexual with Mitch and Serena (Serena having a crush is fine, non-sexual spanking is more than fine); Mitch blaming Serena for the situation with the doctor

 

I loved this show and I'm gutted there is no season 2 planned currently. I really felt for Serena's character, and liked Mitch a lot. I'd love to see anything between them that explores their developing relationship as coach-skater and/or surrogate father-daughter. Them against the world, him protecting her, looking after her when she's upset or injured.

 

I'd enjoy anything set during canon, but am also really interested in the period immediately following the end of season 1.

 

Possible prompts!

 

- I would love to see Mitch coming back, either before or because of finding about Serena's revelation in the finale, and his reaction to that situation. And I'd love to see them working together to restore her confidence and self-worth in the weeks or months after that, and him reassuring her that she is perfect.

 

- A discipline/spanking fic would be awesome, set during season 1 maybe? Maybe Serena is taking too many risks, skating dangerous jumps without supervision, etc? Or maybe she's putting her career or health in jeopardy some other way? 

 

- Mitch patching Serena up after being injured


Thank you for reading!
