[hyenateeth]

 Brushing off this old account as a place to put my Dear Creator Letters lmao. 
Ao3: hyenateeth

Anyway, hello! This is my first time participating in the Trick or Treat exchange, and I'm very excited! Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong though! 

My general likes:

• Femslash
• Ladies in general, all kinds of ladies
• Deeply flawed characters 
• Moody stories 
• Character studies 
• Porn
• angst
• fluff
• Pining/mutual pining
• genderbending/rule 63 (only when its making pairings femslash though) 
• AUs
• epistolary fic

General Do Not Wants: 

• Noncon
• domestic abuse (some exceptions, unhealthy dynamics are okay but nothing too graphic)
• ABO
• exhibitionism,
• infidelity,
• scat/watersports,

• eating disorders

Trick Likes

• GHOSTS
• ghost sex 
• Monsters
• demons
• psychological horror
• possession, of the ghost or demon variety (ngl, this is a kink of mine.) 
• Gothic themes (as in the literary movement) 
• monster hunter AUs 
• shapeshifters, the creepier the better 
• I'm cool with violence, blood and gore, but prefer not over the top. Purposeful gore. Aesthetic gore. If you've reached Saw levels, that is too far.

Treat Likes

• Domestic fluff! 
• pining that ends up resolved

• cooking show/cooking youtuber/cooking competition aus tbh 
• snapshots of rare peaceful moments

• emotional constipation but affection shining through despite that 

 

Gen is always appreciated if you don't want to do ship fic, as is fic of any of these characters individually! Also, obviously anything I mention in the letter are just my jumping off ideas if you want them - no pressure! 

I am okay with getting extra that ignore my trick or treat and medium preferences. 

Yu-Gi-Oh!
Characters: Ryou Bakura, Yami Bakura, Thief King Bakura 
Trick
Art or fic
Ships: Ryou Bakura/Yami Bakura, Ryou Bakura/Thief King Bakura, or Ryou/Y.Bakura/TKB

Ryou Bakura is one of my favorite characters ever, and I love stuff exploring his relationship with the Spirit, or with Thief King Bakura, though some canon bending might be needed for that. I like him shipped with either or both of the other Bakuras, and I love exploring their unhealthy relationship - but I don't like stuff that features Yami Bakura physically abusing him. I like the idea of Y. Bakura having a very twisted affection for his host actually, and Ryou having an unhealthy, complicated attachment to him - but this is just a headcanon! I don't have as many headcanons for his speculative relationship with TKB, so feel free to expand there if you want to go that route.

I also LOVE anything dealing with demon/ghost possession as mentioned above so this canon is right up my alley. Also love Ryou Bakura character studies, and stuff about his fascination with the occult, and anything that paints him as a more complicated role than a passive, unaware host. I also think ghost hunter/channeler/fortune teller Ryou AUs are very cool, if you want to go an AU route. I would love fics about any of these three though, because the Bakuras are my jam. Maybe fic exploring TK.Bakura's life after the Kul Elna massacre, or him graverobbing, or hell, anything with Yami Bakura is Trick worthy. 

Descendants
Characters: Harry Hook, Uma, Mal, Evie 
Treat
Fic 
Ships: Harry/Uma AND/OR Mal/Evie

I just... love both of these ships so much. With Harry and Uma, their dynamic speaks to me so much. IMO he pretty much worships her, but they also have a strong relationship where they trust and rely on each other, despite Uma claiming "no one looks out for her." I would love stuff with them both (but especially Uma) having walls up but them managing to express their affection in unusual ways, and supporting each other despite the way the Isle obviously frowns on affection. Tbh any type of metaphor that compares Harry's love to Uma to a sailor's love of the sea will just kill me dead. ALSO I would love anything with Harry being super into Uma's sea monster form. Idk about AU ideas for them but would love to see any. Maybe a redemption AU where they go to Auradon and have to adapt together? 

As for Mal and Evie, I love pining for this ship. Evie pining after Mal especially, or mutual pining, where they both can't imagine the other seeing them as more than a friend. A lot of longing touches and glances, until they finally figure it out somehow... Or just sweet fluff of them learning how to be soft together on Auradon, learning how to be in love now that they aren't in a place that actively discourages it, being able to cuddle and kiss, and be silly together. Also, for an AU idea - a princess in a tower and the dragon who guards it anyone?

I would also love any explorations of these characters individually or in gen situations, in canon (rare happy moments on the Isle? healing off the Isle?) or AUs (cooking competition AU...) 

(With this fandom I am okay with mentioning child abuse since its pretty canon, but I would prefer no focus on it, and nothing graphic.) 

Bloodborne
Characters: Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower, Plain Doll
Trick
Art or Fic
Ships: Gen preferred, or Lady Maria/Doll 

I just really want something where Lady Maria encounters the Plain Doll. I don't remember if she canonly knows of the Doll's existence (I don't think so though since isn't there something about her being unaware of Gehrman's obsession with her?) but I would love to know Lady Maria's potential reaction to it - which I imagine would be incredibly negative, especially if she hadn't realized the depth of Gehrman's obsession. The Doll is an odd character too, so anything exploring the disturbing implications of her existence from her POV would be appreciated. 

Bloodborne is a fandom I am very open to the potential of gore with, obviously, and I feel like you can take this one pretty dark if you like. I can't think of any AUs off the top of my head, but I am pretty open with this one! I also think this one has huge possibility for gorgeous, dark, creepy art, much like the game. 

The Adventure Zone
Characters: Hurley Sloane
Trick or Treat
Art or Fic
Ships: Hurley/Sloane

I looove Hurley/Sloane and am open to a treat or a trick for them.

For a trick - I think something dealing with the thrall of the Gaia Sash would be interesting, and how it changed Sloane, which I feel could go in a very scary direction from psychological horror-ish standpoint? The thrall is twisting her mind, making her forget what she was, do things she normally wouldn't, she can't control it no matter how much she may want to, and Hurley doesn't even know whats going on.... A canon divergence AU where Sloane goes further before she is stopped would be interesting... Like, what if she did kill someone before Hurley could stop her? Or a non-DND/human au where instead of the Gaia Sash its like... a demon possessing Sloane and Hurley has to exorcise her? (I love possession you guys.)

As for a treat, I mean, obviously! Something about their cute budding relationship pre-Gaia Sash, or something post canon with them settling in to their new, peaceful lives? What is their domestic bliss - working on battle wagons, getting into thrill seeker shenanigans, holding hands and knowing they never need to be separated again? Also, important: height difference kissing. 

Richard III 
Characters: Richard III, Queen Anne
Trick or Treat
Fic
Ships: Richard/Anne

AAh okay so I... really like Richard and Anne's relationship from Richard III even though it is the definition of toxic and also he kills her. I really like AUs where he doesn't kill her though, and Anne ends up being in on it, maybe a little evil herself or at least Into Richard's evilness. A little Macbeth-y maybe, but I like it. Also it makes no sense but I would super dig a female!Richard AU with Richard/Anne femslash, somehow? That might have to be a larger au with a different setting since that wouldn't work too well in the original setting, but I would be suuuper into it regardless. OR, something expanding on the scene where ghost!Anne haunts him in the play? That would be cool. 
I would also just be into porn of these too, cause I find it hot when she spits on him lmao. 

As for a treat, maybe something with sympathetic Richard? An uncharacteristically quiet, peaceful moment  between him and Anne? Her calming him after he has a nightmare? 

Overwatch
Characters: Angela "Mercy" Ziegler, Amelie "Widowmaker" Lacroix 
Trick
Art or Fic
Ships: Mercy/Widowmaker

I love MercyMaker where Mercy isn't good - be them Talon!Mercy AUs or dubiously mad scientist Mercy, who experiments on trying to break Widowmaker's brainwashing, but Widow doesn't want it broken, because that would mean she had to live with the reality of what she has done. AUs are also great - maybe something with the imp!Mercy skin where she is actually a demon, come for ballet dancer Amelie's soul? Or what about an AU where Widowmaker is Bathory style Mad Duchess, and Mercy her trusted advisor and physician? An AU where they were monster hunters but Widow is becoming a monster herself? 

Individually they both have great potential - Mad Scientist Mercy, Witch Mercy, Imp Mercy, brainwashed Widowmaker, vampire Widow, some kind of literal spider monster/demon Widow... anything dark with either of these two tbh.
