Dear Chocolate Box Writer
Hi, thanks for writing for me! I hope this letter will be useful. (To be honest most of it is the same as last year, when I got some great fics, but I still really want everything I've repeated this year!)
Likes: Hurt/comfort, humour, fluff, friendship, family relationships, romance, first time, established relationship, friends-to-lovers, character studies, episode tags/missing scenes, canon-divergent AUs and fix-it fic, telepathy/empathy, cultural differences, time travel
Dislikes: Non con, character bashing, non-canon character death, possessiveness/jealousy, asexual/aromantic headcanons, dick jokes, first and second POV, explicit sex
Fandoms
Harry Potter (Dumbledore/Grindelwald)
The potential this pairing has is fascinating to me, and I'd love to see any kind of fic about them, either when they were young, or later during the war. (I'd love an explanation of how Dumbledore was able to defeat him even though Grindelwald had the Elder Wand.) I'd also really like to see an AU where they stayed together or made up later and ended up teaching at Hogwarts together/travelling the world/taking over the world. (Fic exploring what could have happened if Dumbledore had continued down that 'For the Greater Good' path would be especially awesome.)
Notes: While I enjoyed the Fantastic Beasts movie, I'd prefer the fic not focus on those events.
Stargate SG-1 (Sam/Janet)
I love Sam, and her relationship with Janet is one of my favourites. I could easily see their friendship leading to more, and I really like how they support each other in canon, and how Sam's kind of like a second mother to Cassandra. I'd love a hurt/comfort fic where Sam gets hurt on some mission and Janet looks after her, or the two of them relaxing together on a day off, or a fix-it where Janet doesn't die or comes back from the dead. Appearances from the rest of SG-1 would be great too, if you're so inclined.
Star Trek AOS (Jim&Winona, Jim/Spock&Winona, Winona/OFC)
Jim&Winona: I'd love to see something exploring their relationship, especially when he's grown up and is captain of the Enterprise. Maybe a scene of him showing off his ship to his mother, or introducing her to his crew, or going back to Iowa after the events of the first/third movie?
Jim/Spock&Winona: I think Spock and Winona would get on well (in my headcanon she's a scientist too) so I'd really like to see Jim introduce them. Like above, it could be that Winona comes to the ship, or Jim takes Spock home to Iowa to meet her, or I'd really love a scene of her at their wedding.
Winona/OFC: I'd like to see Winona falling in love again after George, whether it's with someone from Starfleet, or from Riverside. (Could even be someone she had a fling with before George and now gets back together with.) I'd especially like to see her introduce her girlfriend to her sons, or bring her along to some family event.
Notes: Please don't write Winona as a bad mother to Jim. Also, feel free to set the fic at any time, before or after Beyond, but if possible I'd prefer no references to the events of STID. And I know my requests for this fandom are all pretty similar, so I don't mind if you combine any of them.
Star Trek TOS (Kirk/Spock, Kirk&Spock, Scotty/Uhura, Spock&Saavik, Saavik/David Marcus)
Kirk/Spock, Kirk&Spock: I'm listing these together because I honestly don't care which I get. I love Kirk and Spock's relationship in all its forms, so as long as it's about them I'll be happy. Generally I prefer gen set during the series and slash set during the movies, but I'm pretty flexible so don't feel you have to stick to that if you have an idea that conflicts. For ideas, I like pretty much the same things in slash as in gen - shore leave, the two of them stranded on a planet, one of them being hurt or ill and the other taking care of them, or any kind of fic dealing with the events of the episodes/movies.
Scotty/Uhura: Their scenes together in The Final Frontier are adorable. I'd love something set when they're older, but something during the series would be great too. I'd like to see them bonding over music, or going on shore leave together, or meeting each other's families, or anything really. I love this ship, and there just isn't enough of it.
Spock&Saavik: I really like the little glimpses we get of their relationship in the films, how Spock is a mentor to Saavik and how they clearly care about each other a lot. I'd love to see more of this, maybe something set while Saavik is at the academy, or what happened after we last saw her in The Voyage Home? (Or, if you're so inclined, what she thinks of his relationship with Kirk?)
Saavik/David: My rarest rarepair. I really like their interactions in The Search for Spock, and I'd love an AU where David doesn't die, but I'd also be happy with something exploring their time together on the Grissom, or them getting to know each other, or him comforting her after Spock's death.
Notes: Since I know there are arguments about it, I take Vulcan body temperature as higher than human.
Thanks again!
