Dear Chocolatier 2021
Hello Chocolatier,
Thank you for writing for me! I always do Chocolate Box as a palate cleanser after the mad winter of Yuletide; whether I receive a 300 word chocolate or a 3,000 word chocolate box doesn't matter to me as long as you have fun with it. :)
This year, I'm writing prompts that are each deliberately single-ish sentences so that this signup isn't a dumpster fire wall of text. Take them, leave them, spin them around: feel free!
While I haven't requested art explicitly because I am the worst at art prompts, feel free to go that way if you wish!
My AO3 username is karanguni.
I am generally an omnivorous reader; I will list DNWs only for specific requests. If your imagination wants to take you somewhere, I'm happy to follow where it goes! I reiterate that 2020 has been exhausting and that I'm really happy to receive whatever size/prompt you feel up to writing. My prompts are just prompts; you don't need to write to them.
Any fandom I write in on AO3 is eligible for crossovering/AUing if that floats your boat.
Likes: competence porn, multilingual/multicultural people, complicated relationships, power structures and how they work/are used/abused/loophole-d through, uniforms (whether military or just signature), the quiet-but-deadly sort. I'm fine with ambiguous/sad/dark endings if you want to go that way.
Mathematician/Poet (Original Work)
Draw From Real Life: the poet is Rimbaud; the mathematician is Galois, and time is a mere concept and therefore they exist at the same period. The more alcoholism, substance abuse, shouting, and bratty boy genius antics, the better.
Synaesthesia: either one is synaesthesic, but only in the other one's craft. I.e. the mathematician sees maths as poetry; the poet poetry as mathematics.
Model Poor Male Student on Scholarship/Spoiled Rich Male Delinquent (Original Work)
Model student has all the confidence in the world and needs no rich man to make him happy; nevertheless, they hit it off at a (club|party|book club where the rich male is a surprisingly good reader for such a rich idiot). Rich kid is in love/lust at first sight; model student plays smirky hard to get for the rest of the (semester|year|duration of their college lives), leaving rich kid unable to get it off with anyone else because of (reasons|his personality). Bonus points for D/S undertones in spite of no sex yet happening, where Delinquent is turned into Straight A student as part of the conditions of their relationship. Double bonus if each A Delinquent receives is rewarded with (a promise from Model Student not to mack on anyone at the next mutual party they go to|"no strings attached" phone sex|cock-tease tutoring session).
Overwhelmed Sub/Two Doms Sharing Him (Original Work)
DNW: daddy kink, incest, oviposition
Don't much like: wilting flower sub personality (they can wilt all they want in scene; I just would like their character to be fully on board).
Very much like: impact play, exhibitionism, restraints, doms acting all civilised and proper, clothing porn, dirty talk, coming untouched, age gaps, sub being lower class than dom (but able to stand up to them), wall/surface sex, edging.
I don't know how to prompt this any better than the relationship name. I guess I'll just provide locations and dross. I'd prefer M/M/M, but hey, you're my writer, go for it if you have an idea.
In A Nice Hotel Suite: in front of the windows overseeing (mountains|city skyline|high street) because one of the doms is a rich motherfucker.
In A Private Airplane: see above, except they are the only passengers save for all of the airplane staff.
On The Orient Express Or Similar Train: up against the windows as (the fantasy world the fic is set in goes by|they pull out of the station|they get delivered dinner by the concierge). Bonus if he is serving as furniture.
At The Opera: don't interrupt the performance!
Personification of Death/The Immortal Human Who Constantly Evades Them (Original Work)
Steal From Literary Things: Riff on the Appointment in Samarra somehow?
I Guess Erotic Asphyxiation Would Be An Awesome Kink Here: what's written on the tin.
Humans Pretending To Be Death Pretending To Be Humans: there is a fancy dress ball; the human goes as Death; Death goes as a human. They (dance|have a tryst with someone who is going to die there that night as a one last hurrah).
Reeve Tuesti & Tseng (Compilation of FFVII) or Reeve Tuesti/Tseng (Compilation of FFVII)
Feel free to make all non-explicit prompts &-flavoured. I like my Tseng a bastard, but a bastard with 10% of a conscience (albeit one that's aloof/amoral/disdainful of waste/showiness more than extra guilty).
Non-explicit: Tseng is the secret urban planner of the slums with Reeve's only semi-unwilling assistance.
Non-explicit: Reeve builds backdoors for Tseng as Tseng builds backdoors for Reeve.
Explicit: Reeve is the only Director Tseng has no blackmail material on. The situation is remedied.
Feel free to steal from my wall o' text Yuletide letters (2020's for reference).
Cheradenine Zakalwe/Diziet Sma (The Culture)
Non-explicit: Zakalwe brings Sma presents like a confused feral outdoor cat turned tame; these presents are anything from designer/antique weapons to small cities.
Explicit: Diziet edges Zakalwe for hours by "forgetting" to turn off a communications device while she fucks (insert as many sapient beings you want here) as revenge for Zakalwe playing James Bond on a recent mission.
GOU Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints & Lededje Y'breq (The Culture)
Family: FOTNMC babysits one of Led's children and teaches it important life lessons.
"Mundane" AU: FOTNMC's ship body gets blown up; it is informed that if it waits a (week|month|however long) it can have the shiniest new ROU-esque ship design on the block. It vacations for the duration with Led in Demeisen's body.
"Family": FOTNMC is forced by a Mind Committee to partake in the raising/training of a future ROU Mind; it seeks Led's help because 1) it hates parenting and 2) it secretly wants baby ROU to like humans more than ROUs normally do.
GOU Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints/Lededje Y'breq (The Culture)
FOTNMC does not know the meaning of privacy; Led does not know the meaning of shame.
GOU Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints/Cheradenine Zakalwe (The Culture)
Non-explicit: refit and restock time for the both of them on the newest, shiniest, most advanced GSV possible.
Explicit: FOTNMC inhabits Zakalwe's body for a mission and engages in (insert as much body horror as you wish) for the duration; Zakalwe likes it enough to leave it an open offer.
DNW: Cordelia not being aware/okay of Simon/Aral; Simon resenting Cordelia.
Aral Vorkosigan/Simon Illyan (Vorkosigan saga)
Non-explicit: Simon Illyan is a better flyer pilot than Aral. Discuss. Bonus: Aral's raging jealousy versus his raging arousal.
Explicit: Aral, on a rare break, teaches Simon how to ride horses properly; they follow it up with riding crop experimentation.
Explicit: Aral puts Simon in a sensory deprivation chamber to (test the limits of the chip|help him recover from a chip blip|entertain himself after a bad day).
Atobe Keigo/Tezuka Kunimitsu (Tennis no Oujisama)
They're Older And Mundane-ish: Atobe is filing for bankruptcy; Tezuka is his (lawyer|accountant|tennis club pro|therapist).
They're Not That Old Yet: Tezuka quits tennis because of (family expectations|financial reasons); Atobe makes it his life goal to win competitions while smacking sense into Tezuka by any means necessary. Options include reverse blackmail where Atobe has (incriminating photographs of young Tezuka/(Echizen|Fuji|someone else) and threatens to go public unless Tezuka accepts his (financial/career advice).
