I've been meaning to write up a list of all my WIPs ages ago, but hey! I recently got tagged in a tumblr game of posting all WIP titles, so I figured it's a sign to get my ass moving.

List under cut because it's long. We're currently up to [53] WIPs. Additional Info is in progress.

( Read more... )

Feel free to ask about any of these! I get motivated whenever someone shows interest in one of my ideas :3

Current Mood: mellow

For anyone who didn't know yet: I'm a dance nerd. I've done ballroom and latin for years, really enjoyed the zumba trend (and was very sad to see its popularity die down again), and for some reason I only got the idea to check for dance choreos online when I slowly slipped into K-Pop fandom in late 2020? (Well, I say fandom, I mostly just. Listen to a couple bands lmao)

I've been learning choreos on and off, as health allows, since February 2021 and it's fun.

Current Mood: bouncy

Thank you for creating for me! :D I hope this letter can give you some inspiration on which way to go <3

I'm open to treats of all mediums!

General DNWs & Likes

General DNWs: breaking up requested ships, genderswap, anything related to cannibalism, body horror*, graphic gore*, zombies/undead, hanahaki, sickfic, permanent character death for requested characters, mundane AUs, setting change AUs, de-aging, incest, breastfeeding of anyone 1+ years old;

nsfw DNWs: underage-under 15, watersports, scat, vore, sounding, enemas, fisting, ageplay, crossdressing, injured sex, anal prolapse, oral knotting, body modification (bitching excepted)

*re: body horror & gore, I'm fine with descriptions of the victim's injuries (missing organs, ripped open ribcage, torn throat, etc.) as long as this is framed in a somewhat clinical/professional setting (e.g. coroner's report, characters' investigative dialogue)

General Likes:

what ifs/canon divergences, alternate identity reveal, time travel (fix-it), canon aus where the canon setting remains,
fluff, domesticity, banter, found family, family dynamics, friendship, developing & established relationships, intimacy,
UST, misunderstandings, miscommunication, character conflict, conflict-rich dialogue, (emotional) hurt/comfort, secret identity, secrets and the slow reveals thereof,
fealty & loyalty, devotion, protectiveness, protective possessiveness, mutual possessiveness, (public) claiming of some sort (jewelry, bitemarks, verbal, etc.)
characters being competent at their jobs, Battle Couple, teamwork, nonverbal strategy communication,
casefic, canon-style plots, mystery, action/adventure,
outsider PoV, epistolary, multimedia and experimental formats (fictional socmed, letters, snippets from history books, text books, mission reports, etc.) that fit the canon setting
The intimacy of your lover being able to kill you but choosing not to: knife to the throat (for shaving or during a fight enemies-to-lovers style), human!partner being vulnerable in monster!partner's grasp, strong person who trusts no one being vulnerable with their partner, etc.

NSFW Likes: D/s, bondage, begging, enthusiastic consent, undernegotiated kink, kink negotiations, dirty talk, praise kink, happy sex/banter during sex, clothed sex, foreplay, aftercare, plot-relevant sex

Art Likes:

monochrome, b&w with pop of colour, high contrast with few colours, (but really, any art style is welcome!)
jewelry & flowers, swords! (and other character-appropriate weapons), fancy clothes,
character poses that tell a story/embody the dynamic between characters, small intimacies (hand to cheek! fingers brushing! eyes meeting! back-to-back! head on shoulder!), height difference where appropriate (or otherwise through environment or kneeling)
And I'm really, really into the styles of stained glass (so pretty! I love the mosaic colours and religious symbology of it), tarot cards (the levels of choosing a card meaning to fit the character, the pose, the details!), and tapestry (just, the historical vibes? Usually some sort of major event or conflict, depicting a story between characters? *_*)
I'm not into super abstract art, but I do like symbolism (e.g. characters sharing a colour or evolving into a shared colour, being complimentary colours, butterflies for butterfly effect, etc.)
For panels/framing I love creative ways to show whatever effect you're going for - like character in the foreground with an action panorama in the background to show the actual events (perhaps even with lies or underselling in the speech bubbles) or like shattered mirror shards each reflecting a memory, or a broken door covering some but not all of the panel beyond, and so on. I love art that really leans into the visual strengths of this medium!

Generally, I'm happy with either leaning into the tropes as they are or subverting them in interesting ways!

Casefic Likes

Murder Mysteries: I like the investigating and mystery-solving, the back and forth between characters, the getting ideas and proposing theories, the banter that ensues and the way it highlights different characters' areas of expertise and insight
Police Procedurals: I like the general set-up/pacing of these, from the discovery of the victim, the autopsy bringing new leads, going to interview witnesses/suspects, the gathering of clues... I love the logic chain and the leaps of logic, the discovery of who did it and more importantly why
Undercover: I like characters pretending to be someone else, the way they choose to go about it (lean into traits they already have? play at a fantasy self they don't think they can attain? act like their favourite spy thriller character? laying it on too thick?), the heightened stakes of getting caught, the rush of getting away with it (or with being caught and then rescued by the other characters). And I *love* when two characters go undercover independently and then have to come up with excuses for their reaction to the other on the spot, the whole "what are you doing here" whisper-hiss conversation
Monster of the Week: I love love love mythology! I grew up on Greek mythology, with some sprinkles of Egyptian and Norse. In recent years I got really into Chinese folklore, too, and I'm always open to being introduced to new creatures/legends! I love the mystery of the characters having to figure out which creature it is based on what's happening, the gathering of clues and what to do, the reveal of the monster, and how they deal with it
Kidnapping: love when the kidnapped character trusts 110% that their team/friends will rescue them and is proven right. Or they free themselves before they're rescued because the kidnappers underestimated them! It's also great when two characters are kidnapped (either together or seperately) and continuously bicker while the kidnapper's patience is waning xD
Stakeouts: I especially love boredom and random chatter leading the two characters on stakeout to an emotionally vulnerable moment and/or confession, which then gets interrupted before the resolution by the suspects doing Their Thing and has to be postponed for later. Like the two characters work through whatever keeps their relationship from being better, misunderstandings, presumptions about the other, etc. and by the end of the stakeout have found a new understanding/level of friendship/insight/intimacy
Mind Games: this ties in with characters being competent and badass - I like it when the characters are good at logic puzzles and wordplay and use those strengths to think through the twisty maze of the mystery, especially if the antagonist is also clever and a real challenge but the blorbos still triumph! I also love it when villains put the characters against each other and fans the flames of discord between the team/pack/friends for their ulterior purposes
Wrongfully Accused/Frame Job: characters being blamed for a crime and having to prove their innocence is great! I love it when the other characters originally suspect them, but I also adore the loyal friend variant of them immediately going 'I know you didn't'. Kinda depends on the characters' relationship? A moment of the framed character trying to defend themself and the other characters being all *rolls eyes* *lists 3-4 arguments why it clearly ISN'T the framed character* The reverse, trusting the framed one at first but slowly creeping doubts as more and more evidence seems to point their way, with the characters slowly losing faith but fighting to keep it is also great (and then the sweet relief of figuring out it *can't* have been the framed character!)
Competence: every/multiple characters getting a moment to shine/be in their element/be badass

Crossover Fandoms

Criminal Minds x DCU Comics

Fandom-specific DNWs: DCU characters taking the place of a known CM character as their secret identity, BAU unaware that Batfam are real (unaware of who belongs to Batfam and unfamiliar with specific codenames is fine), DC characters revealing their secret identities to BAU members (cover identities like (Red) Robin being Alvin Draper is fine, love that sort of narrow escape and improvised misdirection), BAU figuring out Batfam members' civilian identities (getting sweat-inducingly close is fine and even encouraged)
Ships: BAU Team & Tim Drake, BAU Team & Jason Todd
Prompts:
- BAU is invited to Gotham to profile a Rogue or Red Hood. What do they conclude correctly? Where are they hilariously wrong? Where are they oh so close and yet still slightly off? Do they figure out Red Hood used to be a Robin who had a falling out with Batfam? Do they figure out that WE finances Batfam, and if yes do they think it's Bruce Wayne or Tim Drake doing the discrete funding?
- CEO Tim Drake-Wayne interacting with BAU on a Gotham-unrelated case (e.g. in LA or NY headquarters). Does Tim give them corporate data to chase down the Unsub, after hashing out a contract to ensure WE isn't liable (e.g. by anonymizing the data and only providing names once proven connected to the case?) Would love BAU clocking CEO Drake-Wayne's interest in the case (maybe because it's related to his Red Robin work? Or maybe because Tim's just nosy and needs to solve every case himself) and coming to wild but plausible conclusions, including distrust
- BAU's profile matching Red Hood's when he's in the area but plot twist, turns out Red Hood is after the Unsub himself (serial rapist killer, perhaps?)
- Cameos of other Batfam members welcome! (Especially Brucie Wayne, Oracle and (former) Officer Grayson)

I've watched CM up to season 7-8ish. I'm open to characters/plots being used from later seasons but might not always recognise them as such! My favourite team constellation is the Rossi-JJ-Prentiss era, with a soft spot for dad!Rossi. I love the Derek-Garcia flirty friendship, Reid's encyclopedic knowledge and tendency to ramble off statistics (which might be fun to have Tim play off of!), the team sassing each other and Hotch being a hardass. I would love something that highlights their areas of expertise, their flexibility when needing to adapt, and that clever sharpness when they hunt down the perpetrator(s). Don't worry about including every team member! I'd rather have a focus on 2-3 being badass competent and having interesting interactions with the crossed over characters, than all members having tiny moments only. (Which isn't to say I won't appreciate a clever cameo/background mention of the other team members being brilliant! Just saying because it's a big team 💖)

I like the way Tim is a bit of a disaster/slob in private but presents an immaculate facade especially in the business world, all born perfect heir. He's competitive and not above using the FBI as a resource to catch a killer. Did Tim pull strings to have the BAU send there? Or is he bristling with professional offense because Red Robin is dealing with it already? A comparison between Tim's data on the Unsub vs the profile the BAU comes up with could be fun, especially if Tim is grudgingly impressed by how close they got so fast. Did Tim read Rossi's books as part of his Robin training? Did Jason?

Speaking of, I love the idea of Jason's rough past haunting him. He doesn't fit in high society because he doesn't want to (he could fake it like the best. After all, he lives with Bruce for years and was trained in deception). Jason wears his humble origins and anger at injustice like a badge, a shield against judgement. Does the BAU run into Red Hood or Jason Todd? What do they think when they see his death certificate? Conspiracy to hide Jason from the public/Joker? Witness protection? Amnesia? Do they mistake Red Hood for their Unsub when actually Red Hood is also hunting the perp? Would love if Red Hood ended up rescuing some BAU members from the Unsub.

Criminal Minds x Teen Wolf

Fandom-specific DNWs: Wendigos, Scott-bashing, destroying the Stiles-Scott friendship (ups and downs of said friendship are fine)
Ships: BAU Team & Stiles Stilinski, Aaron Hotchner & Rafael McCall
Prompts:
- The BAU Team tracking the Alpha pack to Beacon Hills, profiled as a commune/cult of serial killers
- The BAU is called to Beacon Hills, so Agent Rafael McCall is temporarily assigned to the BAU team as a local FBI agent/guide to smooth things over with the locals
- Stiles running interference with the BAU team and the pack to protect his supernatural friends
- Rookie Agent Stiles Stilinski joins the BAU, their next case has supernatural flavour (with the rest of the team unaware) and Stiles has an in with the local supernatural community based on his reputation. Is the team surprised with the rookie able to weasel clues out of reticent witnesses? Impressed?
- Stiles working hard to keep the BAU from finding out about the supernatural world (and for the most part suceeding. Maybe one of the team-not Reid-already knew? Or one of them-Morgan? Garcia?-finds out and is cool with keeping the secret?)

I'm most familiar with seasons 1-3b for Teen Wolf and watched CM up to season 7-8ish. I'm open to characters/plots being used from later seasons but might not always recognise them as such!

My favourite team constellation is the Rossi-JJ-Prentiss era, with a soft spot for dad!Rossi. I love the Derek-Garcia flirty friendship, Reid's encyclopedic knowledge and tendency to ramble off statistics (which might be fun to have Stiles play off of! Having a Reid-Stiles finish-each-others-facts ramble-on would be awesome), the team sassing each other and Hotch being a hardass. I would love something that highlights their areas of expertise, their flexibility when needing to adapt, and that clever sharpness when they hunt down the perpetrator(s). Don't worry about including every team member! I'd rather have a focus on 2-3 being badass competent and having interesting interactions with the crossed over characters, than all members having tiny moments only. (Which isn't to say I won't appreciate a clever cameo/background mention of the other team members being brilliant! Just saying because it's a big team 💖)

On the Teen Wolf side, I'm happy with any early canon constellation, or a canon-divergent merged pack that worked out most of its issues (with either Derek or Scott as the alpha, or even co-alphas). I would love for Tara and/or Parrish to get a cameo. Feel free to pick a different first name for Sheriff Stilinski if you'd like, I'm not overly attached to either his canon name nor the fanon John.

If Derek's involved, being a prior suspect in the murder of his sister and related to serial killer Peter would be great conflict for the BAU to dig into. Especially if they start questioning his tendency to hang out withhigh schoolers. What's the pack look like to outsiders? A cult? Traumatized teenagers? Trauma-bonding? They're surprisingly tight-knit despite all the teenage drama going on. Feel free to include (pre-)Sterek if you fancy!

I would love for the BAU finding mundane explanations for the ongoing supernatural happenings, plausible and logical because humans /do/ act irrationally. OTOH I would also love them suspecting more behind the number of animal attacks, some sort of cover up—but who would jump to werewolves, logically? If the supernatural gets revealed, I'd love if only 1-2 members of the BAU learn the truth and promise to keep the secret (including from the team), or maybe one of them already knew.

Grimm x Guardian (TV)

Fandom-specific DNWs: Wendigos, re zombies/undead: please keep descriptions/depictions of the Hexen-/Zauberbiest Woge non-graphic/-detailed (see: body horror/gore DNW), season 5-6 related plots for Grimm (no Hadrian's Wall, no Black Claw, no "Eve" please), Shen Wei being naive/unaware of politics, Shen Wei giving up his role as HPS or Professor Shen
Ships: Sean Renard & Shen Wei, Nick Burkhardt & Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Prompts:
- Shen Wei visiting Portland for a work conference with a Dixingren wrecking havoc and being mistaken for a Wesen by Renard and/or Nick
- Zhao Yunlan being invited by the Portland PD as an expert on "strange" (read: supernatural) cases, possibly against Renard's wishes (by higher ups)?
- Wesen crime with a twist: this kind of Wesen has an undeservedly bloody reputation and was thus an easy suspect, when it was the human/mousy shy Wesen/an accident all along
- Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan mistaking a Wesen for a lost Yashou descendant
- Renard & Nick vs Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan trying to keep their resepective supernatural population secret from each other while pinging each other's radar with the cover-ups/excuses

Nick Burkhardt & Weilan

I think the parallels between Shen Wei and Nick as powerful but lonely figures in their communities who walk off the beaten path would be fun to explore, but also ZYL as the dutiful but rebellious cop and how that somewhat mirrors Nick's vigilante justice. I think these three would have a lot to talk about re: justice and duty and what is right vs wrong. Maybe Weilan can nudge Nick back on the right path after he starts losing sight of it slowly around season 3-4. Questions of morality and who deserves to be punished and how to deal with those that are not easy to capture and hold by the justice system feel natural for this exploration.

With Hexenbiest!Juliette, I could see Shen Wei being able to restrain her and help her find herself again as she's lashing out in pain, maybe even giving her a powerful opponent to lash out at to vent her anger until she breaks down. He'd offer her a way to put herself together again, but it's up to her to actual do the hard work required. Nick who is still freaking out about her transformation wouldn't be able to stay hands-off, he'd investigate Shen Wei and try to get Juliette back, while unable to accept that she has changed - I could very well see Zhao Yunlan taking him aside and scolding him for his prejudice and inability to see it's still Juliette even if she's different now (maybe relating to ZYL's early canon prejudice against Dixingren).

Sean Renard & Shen Wei

These two characters have so much in common: both mysterious, close-lipped, powerful characters who keep their secrets close to their chests. They're both very much about control and being in control. I think it'd be fascinating to watch them square off, especially politely and using manners to get what they want. They're both observant men, while also good at pretending to appear more harmless than they are—what do they notice about the other? What conclusions do they come to?

Teen Wolf

Fandom-specific DNWs: Wendigos, Scott-bashing, destroying the Stiles-Scott friendship (ups and downs of said friendship are fine)
Ships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski & Laura Hale, Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski & Isaac Lahey & Scott McCall, Derek Hale & Stiles Stilinski & Sheriff Stilinski, Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Vernon Boyd & Isaac Lahey & Scott McCall & Erica Reyes & Stiles Stilinski
Prompts:
- The pack has to deal with the Monster of the Week on top of the standard teenage drama/school/their lives. Would love some unusual pair ups for when the characters investigate, relationship developement and budding friendships among the pack, everyone getting a moment to shine! Pack growing stronger together in the face of adversity
- Witches would be fun. Or maybe Sirens? A siren seducing Derek to get at his pack/fortune/the nemeton to add to the string of terrible girlfriends Derek had, prompting Stiles to actually stake his claim/make his interest known. After he proves that the siren is up to no good, of course.
- Laura Lives AU: any of the canon events with Laura as the alpha, or possibly Laura gets revived (temporarily?) after Derek finally managed to build himself a pack (a distraction? spell gone wrong?) and they have to figure out what happened wile dealing with ~feelings
- Boyd, Isaac, and Erica getting closer to Scott and Stiles at school, instinctively searching them out and grouping up as a pack. Maybe because they want the two of them to join Derek's pack, maybe Derek and Stiles have been getting closer and thus already feels like pack? Or maybe something's wrong at school and that sense of "something off" makes their hackles rise and seek strength in numbers. Is it the principal, the new English teacher? Or a new student? Maybe it's the janitor?
- Lady of the Lake riff with a water monster of the week? With Magical!Stiles or Spark!Stiles?

I'm most familiar with seasons 1-3b for Teen Wolf. I'm open to characters/plots being used from later seasons but might not always recognise them as such!

I love canon divergence AUs in which the characters figure out to be a pack (or have already figured it out), whether that's with alpha!Derek, alpha!Scott or both of them as co-alphas. I love broody, grieving Derek learning to move on and have a new life with this new pack he build, learning to be a good alpha and teaching the new wolves how to handle their instincts, even if he makes mistakes on the way. I love Scott being a stubborn optimist and seeing the best in people, and I love his close friendship with Stiles. I always enjoy it when they are loyal to a fault to each other, even jealous of the new people (friends, pack) in the other's lives and having to learn how to share (both of them). I find those quick, unfinished sentence reconciliations fun because they know each other so well and despite all the drama in their lives they forgive each other easily because they both want to remain in the other's life. But I also love it when they have those awkward talks about jealousy and pack instincts and concerns about what all this means for them, especially the danger they are now in.

I think the Erica-Stiles dynamic is fun in that it's a mirror of Stiles' unobtainable crush on Lydia, and I love Stiles realizing that when Erica has moved on and both of them are fine with being friends/pack instead. I will love anything that gives Boyd a bigger role to play in the story/pack! He's fun as the voice of reason, but I would also love anything that explores his reasons for becoming a werewolf and what he struggles with initially. As for Isaac, I think he's fascinating and I like his friendship/puppy crush on Scott, and how this means his loyalty is somewhat divided between Scott and Derek, who gave him the bite as a gift and is his alpha. I love it when Stiles and Isaac are jealous of each other in regards to their friendships with Scott, but learn to get along after some forced proximity/supernatural threat pairs them up.

Regarding the Sheriff, anything from him being kept in the dark while they try to handle the monster of the week to him finding out would be fun! And with him and Laura both the theme of what it means to be family vs pack vs found family would be interesting. Speaking of Laura, I love her being close to Derek especially in the aftermath of the fire and them being the only family to have survived (or at least they thought so!) and growing closer while in New York. Especially with Derek feeling guilty about what caused the fire and not telling Laura, so she knows something is wrong but not what (and it's easy to blame grief/survivor's guilt, especially when she herself struggles with those). She's a young adult saddled with too much responsibility too fast and I would love to see her react to Stiles/the pack Derek built!

Re: Sterek and underage, I'm not particularly a fan of the whole statutory rape emphasis and jailbait threats. Considering Derek's previous relationship with Kate I think it's fine for him to worry about it and consent, and it fits Sheriff Stilinski to worry about the age gap, but I would prefer it to be handled with more nuance than 'I have a shotgun and can get wolfbane bullets' if it comes up. Feel free to set it at a part in canon/divergent future fic where Stiles is already or almost 18 if you want to avoid it!

Granting You A Dreamlike Life

Fandom-Specific DNWs: The spy plot towards the end of the series, please pretend none of it happened. Also, the (imo unearned) canon redemption of Xu Xingcheng, Hong dad, Lin dad, Duan Tianci, and Hong Family's 3iC (it's fine if they redeem themselves in your work, but I wanted it treated with more nuance for their past actions than canon did)
Ships: Tianying/Luo Fusheng, Tianying & Hong Lan, Hong Lan & Luo Fusheng
Prompts:
- Hong Lan, Tianying and/or Luo Fusheng having to deal with the corrupt police (whether it's lead by Xu dad or Xu Xingcheng), possibly exposing the corruption to higher authorities without bringing undue attention to the Hong family business
- Tianying and Hong Lan teaming up to prove Luo Fusheng's innocence when XXC has him arrested for his grudgeboner
- canon divergence in which Hong Lan and/or Luo Fusheng figure out Tianying = Lin Ruomeng before the Lin family, trying to recreate what happened (and then deciding whether or not to reveal the truth)
- canon divergence or post-canon everyone lives where Luo Fusheng returns as Hong Lan's top enforcer and has to handle something with the family business going wrong (police busting their smuggling operations, someone trespassing on their territory, a different family on the rise trying to steal from them, a business under their protection calling for help, etc.)

Duan Tianying/Luo Fusheng

I enjoy Luo Fusheng and Duan Tianying’s developing relationship, how they grow from the early misunderstandings and mistakes into each other’s greatest support. Having to work through the early mistakes and assumptions they made leads to a sturdier basis for their subsequent romantic relationship, imo. Tianying starts with understandable misgivings about Luo Fusheng and his job as a mafia enforcer, she takes him at the mask he presents to the world and has to learn how to peel those layers back. Luo Fusheng, meanwhile, is someone who will put everyone he cares about before himself, he will give everything he has and more to make the people in his life happy, but hides this behind a cavalier mask. Tianying is good for him, imo, because she sees beyond his pretense and can take care of the injured soul behind the mask, and Luo Fusheng can support her loyally and unequivocally without ever worrying about her letting him fall (unlike everyone else in his life :/) I love that her voice can bring him enough peace to fall asleep without nightmares, and that he's always willing to protect her.

And let's not kid ourselves, Luo Fusheng is a service sub and Duan Tianying would rise perfectly to the occasion of being his kind mistress. I love how Luo Fusheng/Tianying's relationship is one of mutual care and respect and protectiveness, especially in contrast to their relationship with other characters (especially for LFS, who is always there for everyone else in his life, but none of them are there for him, especially Lin Qikai and Xu Xingcheng).

Hong Lan & Luo Fusheng

I like the complicated relationship between these two. Having grown up as childhood friends, but with the inherent power imbalance of Luo Fusheng being slightly older, yet subserviant to the Hong family, while Hong Lan is the precious daughter of the family head... nevermind Hong Lan's crush on Luo Fusheng and her selfish desire to own him, disregarding his feelings on the matter entirely, even as she is engaged to his then-best friend. Luo Fusheng never considers her as more than a sister he loves to spoil during canon, and this clearly frustrates her when she wants to be seen as a grown-up woman in her own right. All the more frustrating when she figures out that Luo Fusheng is crushing on Duan Tianying, a nobody (or so everybody thinks at first) who also has her fiancé wrapped around her little finger (not that Hong Lan minds about that, she has zero interest in marrying Xu Xingcheng).

I would love for the relationship between LFS und Hong Lan, whether platonic or romantic, to develop further from where the show left off. Hong Lan growing up, taking responsibility for her family after her father's death and learning to lead, learning to consider other people's needs - and Luo Fusheng, loyal Luo Fusheng, respecting her as the family head and helping her keep the family afloat and through these new dynamic realizing she's grown up from the little girl she once was (probably helped by the fact that she's no longer focussed day-in day-out in convincing him to date her).

Hong Lan & Duan Tianying

I like the rivalry between Hong Lan and Tianying. I would love for them to develop a friendship from there, or at least an appreciation and understanding. I like how condescending Hong Lan is, how much she abuses her power over Tianying, especially when she’s later forced to acknowledge Tianying after the Lin Ruomeng reveal as an equal. Anything that forces them into rival roles in their careers as actresses or puts Tianying in a technically dicey position due to Hong Lan being the heiress of the Hong mafia family is great fun to explore, especially since Tianying doesn't let Hong Lan's tantrums impress her and forces Hong Lan to treat her as an equal.

I would love any fic that focusses on Hong Lan growing into and taking responsibility as the head of the Hong family after her father’s death, and how that affects her relationship to Tianying/Luo Fusheng. E.g. taking LFS back in as second-in-command and giving her blessing for him to marry Lin Ruomeng – what would lead her to something like that?

DCU Comics

Fandom-Specific DNWs: for Jay/Tim to be turned on by the idea of their relationship being incestuous (jokes are fine, but I'd prefer for them to be grossed out by the idea), exclusively bottom!Jason, Dark!Bruce or Really Bad Parent Bruce (I prefer Good Dad With Flaws or Flawed But Trying), Court of Owls, All-Caste/All-Blades
Ships: Tim Drake & Jason Todd, Tim Drake/Jason Todd
Prompts:
- Red Hood saving (Red) Robin's & his team's asses during a Titans mission OR Tim interferring helpfully in some Outlaws mission. Bonus points if their respective teams are angry-confused and wary of the intrusion, but Tim shrugs it off (outwardly at least) and Jason accepts the help surprisingly easy after a lot of grumbling and swearing and shouting
- working a case together and being confronted with their assumptions of each other being skewed by perspective (Jason's pit rage, rich kid vs alley kid, the contrast of looking like brawn vs brain when they're both both), realizing they have a lot more in common (especially their sense of humour. Love Tim being one of the few people who will encourage Jason's death jokes or share them with him)
- Red Hood and (Red) Robin working on their separate cases when it turns out it's actually the same case (How opposed are they to pool resources? How competitive do they get trying to solve it first? Do they snoop in each other's files, trying to steal the info to avoid having to ask for it? What happens when circumstances/antagonists conspire to force them to work together?)
- Red Hood learning about a plot against Wayne Industries that affects the urban developement of Crime Alley (possibly Neon Knights related?), so he (reluctantly?) goes out of his way to protect civilian!Tim (What conclusions does Tim reach about these actions? Why the subterfuge? And what does the media make of this unlikely hero/damsel duo?)
- Alvin Draper following leads on mob activity, only to accidentally uncover Jason's most recent Red Hood plot (To keep Crime Alley safe? To disrupt the other gangs? To steal money to funnel back into Crime Alley developement?) Does Jason catch him out? How do they handle knowing who each other is behind the disguise without giving the game away to their audience (gang members of Red Hood and/or various other thugs for hire)

Jason &/ Tim

Tim: I love Tim being a strategist/mastermind, very brain-oriented clue investigator. I like him being computer-savvy and going undercover as Alvin Draper to gather more information. I think Tim would've established his own information network outside of Bruce and have a lot of contacts both from his work as (Red) Robin and with the Neon Knights. Characterisation-wise, I enjoy a sassy, deadpan Tim who technically knows how to socialize but is also a workaholic and perfectionist. A competent Tim in my mind always (tries to) think a step or two ahead, and like Bruce has contingencies but also trusts his friends, and that's how he wins. Young Justice cameos welcome! Flaw-wise, I think Tim tries to handle things too much on his own, thinking he knows better and not asking for help soon enough once things go wrong (asking for help as part of the plotting is different imo!)

Jason: I like a Jason who is protective of Crime Alley and those who can't seek justice, but can and does go too far in dealing retribution for them (often without asking the victims what they want and making assumptions). I enjoy Crime Lord Jason who is the best employer on the block and somewhat cares for his goons, making sure they and their families are taken care of, but at the same time can't quite allow himself to grow attached. I like Jason angry at Bruce, even if he's reconciled with Batfam, feeling like his death and the way it was handle in the aftermath is an injustice that he has to come back and fix himself. I enjoy both a Jason who is jealous of Tim as his Replacement but also a Jason who thinks he's just teaching the kid a lesson to save him from worse.

Here are my old, longer ramblings from past letters, in case you'd like more inspiration:

General Relationship Ramblings

It's just so lovely complicated! On the one hand, Jason died and came back "wrong" with Pit-enhanced anger management issues, and then he goes and violently takes his jealousy out on Tim, who is anything between the ages of 14 and 17 at this point in the timeline, depending on how you wanna play it. Meanwhile, Tim goes from hero-worshipping Robin II to getting almost killed (multiple times) by said hero, accused of the crime of not living up to his idol's legacy. They both are each other's triggers in many ways, reminding them about the parts of themselves they dislike and the flaws they try so hard to hide. No matter where you wanna start with their relationship status on the enemies-to-brothers or -lovers range, I'm here for it!

I love whumping on these two, but I especially love the flavour of Tim whump with Jason whump (and his guilt about making Tim's life worse when he's forcefully confronted with the consequences of his actions) as the sprinkles on top. I love Jason's claustrophobia or Pit Rage being triggered, especially if this leads to then Tim getting triggered because he thinks Jason losing control will lead to the man attacking him again (or that even being the case, with little chance of escape for Tim due to circumstances) and now both of them have to deal with flashbacks while trying to scrape enough braincells together to escape their situation.

I also love how competent they both are in their own areas of expertise. Jason is a tank who mows down his enemies, fusing sheer brutal strength with the skill of the League of Assassins to be an incredibly dangerous opponent. He's also clever enough to set up traps and manipulate his enemies into triggering them, see his entire set-up of tricking Black Mask into springing Joker to have his confrontation with Batman. Meanwhile, Tim is crazy smart and can plan twenty steps ahead. He's slippery and manipulative and constantly has something to prove. Between their complimentary fighting styles and the fact that they both run an empire of sorts (Crime Lord!Jason and CEO!Tim), they are the perfect puzzle pieces to fit together. They're also both snarky/sassy and stubborn af and really well matched in personality imo.

Re: The Pit Rage: I prefer for it to be some sort of enhancement on emotions and urges that Jason already feels, a more frayed temper and an influence that makes it easier to lose control, but not something that intrinsically changes him as a person. While I'm more than happy with other Batfam members deciding to blame Jason's early bad deeds on Pit Madness, I would prefer if Jason at least is honest with himself and actually has to work on those impulses and the emotions that lay at the root of them. And I think even if they're clinging to blaming the Pit Madness to reconcile their own desire to have a relationship with Jason later, after he's calmed down some, most Batfam members know deep down that it's not just the Pit that made Jason who he is now. Especially Tim and Bruce, I think, would have plenty of incentive to insist on blaming the Pit but knowing better inside their own heads.

I would love if Jason never stopped being a Crime Lord, even if he works with the Bats now. I'm fascinated by his little Crime Alley empire, and the idea of the people there looking to him as a protector. I love Jason enforcing his Rules and using gang-related business as a front to help the people most in need. I love all of the prostitutes in the Alley considering Jason their pimp, who would loudly reject the idea if asked but he does check in with them regularly and makes sure they're all safe and clearly cares. I love the idea of the villain henchmen having clear opinions on working for Red Hood, to the point where Red Hood's hired guns are incredibly loyal to him (while those who disagree with him think he's crazy for trying to change the way crime works). I love the idea of Jason setting up shelters for homeless kids and addicts, making sure the families of his people are taken care of, maybe even giving away drug money to sponsor business start-ups or offering secret scholarships to the kids.

And I really like the idea of Tim somehow getting involved in Jason's crime empire and helping him with stuff Jason didn't even know he'd need, just randomly showing up and fixing tech or setting up charities. At some point all of Red Hood's men just greet Tim as if he's a part of their gang, so used to seeing him show up randomly. It's even funnier to me to imagine (Red) Robin being the only/first Bat allowed back into Crime Alley during reconciliation with the family, either in an AU that diverges during the Titan's Tower attack or as part of Jason trying to make amends with Tim (maybe after realizing Tim's a self-sacrificing idiot with terrible parents who needs more looking after than he gets?) Similarly, Red Hood showing up at WE's offices to "kidnap" or "threaten" CEO Drake-Wayne sounds hilarious to me, especially if it's a smokescreen for something else (like part of a case they're working, or Jason making sure Timmy gets enough sleep after a team-up).

Another thing I adore is Jason and Tim teaming up on cases or running into each other during undercover work. Especially if this happens while they still "hate" each other or think they do, with Red Hood crashing the meeting (Red) Robin is staking out or vice versa, or somehow or other giving themselves away when they run into each other with their bickering and then blaming the other. Working the same case from a different angle and then grudgingly piling intel together because destroying a human trafficking ring is (slightly) more important than their egos. Alternately, Tim going in with an undercover identity and wig as Hood's air-headed arm candy? (I'm partial to Alvin, Caroline, or Thea, but I'm open to you making up a new identity too.)

If you're going for enemies-to-brothers Jay & Tim, I'm more than happy with it ending before they get to acknowledging each other as brothers, as long as there's development towards reconciliation happening (and possibly out loud denying it but action speaking louder than words re: protectiveness and caretaking).

Smut Ramblings

Ngl, I prefer to envision Jason topping between the two of them, unless in very specific scenarios (e.g. where CEO!Tim dominates Jason and similar power fantasies, or virgin!Tim's first time and Jason surprises him by letting him top). I could see their relationship go either way, tbqh, and I'm open to them switching. I like the idea of Tim being into Jason's bulk and strength advantage and liking being manhandled by him while Tim puts his flexibility training to good use. Jason going down on Tim before he fucks him and being a mix of "gentlemanly" but also roughly fucking him through the mattress (or bending him over an A/C unit on a rooftop) is one of my favourite JayTim smut flavours. I love Jason running his mouth during sex until he's too turned on to think straight, and I love Tim intentionally provoking Jason into being rough with him or getting what he wants.

I love the idea of Jason being Tim's first crush before he died, and absolutely being his type when he returns, which only complicates their already messy relationship what with the Titan's Tower attack. I love both of them being into each other and having wet dreams about the other, but suppressing that until plot happens and they're pushing each other over the edge into having sex.

More than happy with sex pollen/fuck or die scenarios/bad guys made them do it, especially if it gets juicily complicated with mutual unacknowledged pining, Jason's Rule about rapists making him conflicted about wanting to save Tim from a more gruesome fate (either death or being raped by multiple bad guys if he doesn't or threats along those lines), Tim being scared of rejection from his crush, etc.

Another thing I love is sex as an act of care: Jason taking Tim apart until he stops thinking because he's been overworked as WE's CEO or stuck in a case, or vice versa Tim making sure Jason gets a break when dealing with gangs gets to be too much, providing a safe outlet for each other's frustrations. Possibly also spars turning to fun wrestling match turning to sex, or alternately tying the other up so he can stop protesting having stuff to do.

I'm open to trans!Jason and/or trans or nonbinary!Tim as long as they stay masc-presenting, but cis!Jaytim is fine, too.

I prefer for Tim to be penetrated during sex, but I'm happy with any combination of either of them being alpha/omega/Dom/sub!

I like the headcanon of Tim having a crush on Dick, especially with Dick mentoring Tim on his gymnastics and getting all close and intimate. Maybe Dick even was Tim's gay awakening! It would be fun if by the time they get steamy Tim's already put Dick into a category of "never gonna happen so better put the pining into a box and not think about it" and being all surprised/oblivious when Dick starts showing interest in him. Or maybe a dash of pining angst with both of them agreeing to help each other out with Ivy's sex pollen, thinking that's the closest they're gonna get and trying hard to hide their true feelings from the other! Feelings complicating the very important mission they're on is always a great trope, too, especially since both of them will put the mission before their own sake... >:3c

Prompts:
* Tim has been nursing a crush on Dick since being trained by him into flexibility during his teenage years, never thought it would happen
* Dick doing a double take and realizing how well Tim's grown up
* Tim using undercover work as an excuse to put Dick and himself into Situations in the vague hope something might come of it (or at least to add fodder to his mental spank bank)
* running into each other while one (or both) are undercover without being able to overtly communicate
* reconciliation post-Bruce's resurrection through sex as tension release

I have a light preference for Tim being in the middle of this sandwich, both Jason and Dick focussing on making it good for him or Tim trying to make it good for them so they'll keep him. If you're going for "adding a third" (whether it's once, semi regularly or permanently) I'm happy with any combination of previously established A/B adding C.

* Tim being the only pack omega expected to serve the pack's alphas Dick and Jason despite their tense relationships (taking Robin mantle away, Titan Tower attack), and either surprising them by being willing or being reluctant about it but finding sex is a great way to take his frustrations out on them
* Two of them undercover with third on comms having to listen/watch them having sex (and perhaps throwing in some suggestions). Either established OT3 or established A/B with B/C undercover or C watching established A/B

Thoughts on Nick

I really like how Nick is a Good Guy with Morals, someone who takes the oath of protecting the innocent seriously and believes in the judicial process and justice of the system—and I love how all of it gets challenged by the existence of Wesen and how they can't always be prosecuted like normal criminals. Nick's development is fascinating as he tries to balance his morals against these new limitations, as he tries to be different than his ancestors. Sometimes he still slips up, lets himself be guided by assumptions and prejudice. He has the potential to go dark, especially when he stops thinking, when he's hurting, when it's personal. It's his connections, his friends who pull him back from that brink. Nick handles himself best when he's part of a team, yet he tends towards trying to lone wolf it again and again.

A tendency Juliette could really help with, if only he told her earlier. What does it take for Nick to tell Juliette? Monroe constantly reinforces the secret-keeping and his Aunt suggested he should break up with her, which he clearly doesn't want. But Juliette is right to reject him for said secret-keeping too when he proposes marriage. When he finally tells her, he's an emotional, incoherent mess, panicking because he knows Adalind did something, and tells her in the worst way possible—and then learns the wrong lesson from it and decides to keep it from her /again/.

Other then that, I live for the times a new Wesen realizes Nick is a Grimm, both when Nick leans into the intimidation factor to find out important clues or when Nick reassures the Wesen that he's Not Like That. The Eisbiber clan and their acceptance of Nick as an ally was one of the highlights of the early seasons for me.

Thoughts on Juliette

Juliette is my blorbo! I love how she gets dragged into the Wesen world and how she tries to figure things out despite Nick doing his best to keep her in the dark. Her analysis of Big Foot's hair was the perfect moment for him to come clean, and yet. Juliette is suspicious and scientific and empathic, and I love the few moments she works with Nick (e.g. during the Seltenvogel case). They make for a great team when they're on the same page, and it's a shame the show didn't explore that more. I'm convinced that if Nick told her earlier, during one of those moments were Juliette's suspicions were high and she was already thinking along the lines of the unnatural, the reveal would have gone over more smoothly than as Nick was panicking and being extra weird about a simple cat scratch.

Her interactions with their Wesen neighbours while she's not in the know are hilarious, and I love how she immediately starts investigating when Nick doesn't provide satisfying answers. The dynamics of the Wesen interacting with Juliette, the girlfriend of the infamous Grimm, when she’s not in the know but *they* don’t know that are frankly hilarious to me.

I want canon divergences in which Juliette copes better with her transformation into a Hexenbiest, where she learns control and how to navigate the complicated politics of the Wesen world. There's a lot of worldbuilding opportunities there, in how Hexenbiests are feared by other Wesen. I would an exploration of how the Wesen neighbourhood reacts to her new power and how Juliette deals with this shift in perception - she's already gone through the "everyone fears Nick for some weird reason" phase, but now it's directed at her? And Outsider PoV on a Grimm dating/engaged to a Hexenbiest would also be fascinating!

Alternatively, what if she'd been a natural Hexenbiest who had her power suppressed? Or she travels back in time and stays a Hexenbiest while Nick is still new to being a Grimm and hasn't the associated trauma that complicates his acceptance of her new status? Can she learn to forgive him for how the other Nick reacted to her transformation?

Thoughts on Renard

Renard is a /fascinating/ character. We're introduced to him as an antagonist, and he never quite shakes off that label. He works to protect Nick, but keeps him in the dark about a lot of stuff. He wants, needs Nick's support, but with his upbringing he doesn't trust enough to just ask. He actively works against Nick's interests, too, ordering Aunt Marie killed and having Adalind seduce Hank.

Having grown up an unwanted Royal bastard, but also not a full Zauberbiest must have been difficult for Sean. He had to learn at a young age to control himself, and that restraint is so absolute he even manages to resist the compulsion towards Juliette. The loss of control in that arc was something that clearly worried him and he fought against as well as he could. Renard doesn't trust easy (does he even trust anyone, truly?), another interesting side effect of his upbringing and place in the world. Even when he takes lovers he's always ready for them to betray him.

How does his reign as Prince work? I'd love to see him juggling handling traitors, strongarming Wesen into his service or into owing him favours, calling in favours, working against his brother's schemes, keeping Portland seperate and independant from the Royalty over in Europe. Especially interested in how a Grimm figures into his plans! Or an unexpectedly powerful Hexenbiest ;)

Nick/Sean/Juliette

All of their dynamics are sooo good!

Nick and Juliette have a really solid relationship at the start of the show. Every moment of domesticity is a great moment - I love their banter, and how Juliette knows when she needs to push Nick, and that Nick tells her details like that a case is getting to him. Juliette is the most supportive girlfriend ever, and when she's doing research is some of the best moments. Like when she offers to look into Nick's parents' deaths for him, because Nick is too busy/emotionally compromised to do it himself. But she's also clever and curious in her own right, see how she takes the Big Foot's hair into the lab. Really, if Nick had told her then, things might've gone very different. She's not a push-over either, calling Nick out on his secret-keeping during his proposal and when she's amnesiac and Nick *still* isn't telling her the truth about Wesen. She knows her worth.

Juliette and Renard have incredible chemistry on screen. The entire obsession arc was such a highlight for me, the way they fought the compulsion and desire. I like to think that the attraction lingers after the curse is broken, too. And the fact that Juliette seeks Renard out for help when she's turned into a Hexenbiest is *chefs kiss*. I mean, she calls him Sean! This is so important to me, y'all *heart eyes*

Nick and Renard then have this interesting tension. Renard protects Nick as best as he can when he's still fumbling in the dark of this new world, trying to take care of Reapers and the like using police resources, but not warning him. At the same time, Renard is the one who put a hit out on Aunt Marie and who ordered Adalind to seduce Hank to get to Nick. They don't trust each other, not exactly, but they work great together regardless. Renard goes through a Whole Process to purify himself so he can wake up Juliette, just because he wants to keep Nick on his side, but he doesn't tell him until he's forced to. The confrontation at the cabin was amazing and summarizes a lot of this tension. I'd love to see them at this point where neither is quite sure what the other will do or having overcome this phase and having found a common ground they agree on, some sort of understanding between them.

The three of them create a fascinating triangle with those facets. It could work out well with Renard more willing to tell Juliette the answers she seeks and a calming, restraining presence on Nick's worse impulses (as long as Nick allows this). Adding Renard would smooth the issues of the Nick/Juliette relationship out to a point where they could communicate better; while what's keeping Juliette/Renard apart is the monogamy commitment between Nick/Juliette in early seasons (and a lot of preoccupation with the relevant plot in later seasons). For Nick/Renard to work, Nick needs to decide to trust Renard, and Renard needs to be able to trust Nick to be more vulnerable and honest with him - this is true regardless of Juliette's involvement, but I think Juliette would ease that tension for them.

This ship is very female Domme/male sub for me - Luo Fusheng, despite being known for his violence on the streets, is such a devoted character to his loved ones... and I see Tianying as an inexperienced Domme who would rise to the occasion.

Prompts:
* semi-public sex at the Mei Gao Mei (trying to hide it in the bad lighting, keeping clothes on) while they're technically boss/employee
* relationship being perceived by outsiders as Luo Fusheng in charge due to his standing, when in private he kneels for Tianying
* LFS having to "prove" his claim on his girl by having sex with her, Tianying subtly encouraging him along when he has trouble "asserting dominance"
* LFS apologizing for his past actions by submitting to Tianying

I enjoy Luo Fusheng and Duan Tianying’s developing relationship, how they grow from the early misunderstandings and mistakes into each other’s greatest support. Having to work through the early mistakes and assumptions they made leads to a sturdier basis for their subsequent romantic relationship, imo. Tianying starts with understandable misgivings about Luo Fusheng and his job as a mafia enforcer, she takes him at the mask he presents to the world and has to learn how to peel those layers back. Luo Fusheng, meanwhile, is someone who will put everyone he cares about before himself, he will give everything he has and more to make the people in his life happy, but hides this behind a cavalier mask. Tianying is good for him, imo, because she sees beyond his pretense and can take care of the injured soul behind the mask, and Luo Fusheng can support her loyally and unequivocally without ever worrying about her letting him fall (unlike everyone else in his life :/) I love that her voice can bring him enough peace to fall asleep without nightmares, and that he's always willing to protect her.

And let's not kid ourselves, Luo Fusheng is a service sub and Duan Tianying would rise perfectly to the occasion of being his kind mistress. I love how Luo Fusheng/Tianying's relationship is one of mutual care and respect and protectiveness, especially in contrast to their relationship with other characters (especially for LFS, who is always there for everyone else in his life, but none of them are there for him, especially Lin Qikai and Xu Xingcheng).

For smut, I would love something that leans into the power imbalance of Tianying being dependant on LFS's good will during her time as an employee at Mei Gao Mei, the seedy nature of what is basically a burlesque club, Tianying dealing with the wandering hands and expectations and finding an unexpected safe haven in LFS. Everyone looking away from their boss/employee relationship because it's /expected/ (even if it doesn't fit with LFS's character and handling of the other girls in that place), but their actual relationship subverting that expectation because Tianying is the one in control and LFS is working hard to please her. I would love for Tianying to ride LFS while still in her dance girl uniform, or perhaps a scene out of the sensual dream LFS had.

Assassin’s Creed

Fandom-specific DNWs: Clay/Subject 16 being involved as more than a potential device for time travel

Desmond Miles

I like Desmond as an algamation of his ancestors's skills and instinctual behaviours, struggling with remembering who he is without them, or perhaps leaening who he can be with those memories, but still his own distinct personality. I see him as someone who is stubborn and strong to escape his upbringing, wanting to indulge in normality which got him caught but is entirely reasonable for someone in his circumstances. Who could know it's actually real? He's someone who rolls with the punches because when you're raised on an Assassins Vs Templars conspiracy, might as well? He's got entire memories of the past in his triple-helix DNA and ancient tech frying his brain, there's not a lot that can shock him anymore. Why *shouldn't* time travel be possible? I feel like he's become more malleable while struggling to adjust to the Bleeding Effect, and I am fascinated by him being the only person that seems to come out on the other side not entirely broken (thanks to Clay's intervention, granted, but.)

For the record, I don't mind Desmond being superficially or at a distance mistaken for his ancestors especially if he travelled back in time and is channelling their skils/behaviour, but I prefer there to be differences in height/build/aesthetics past a passing resemblance, for those who know the ancestor (especially if it's Claudia or Federico as the love interest).

Altaïr ibn-La'Ahad

From teacher's pet genius who didn't quite know how to connect emotionally with his peers and was groomed not to question his orders, to the man who outgrows his master and learns to see the Nuance in people, to the point that his wife was originally a Templar, I love Altair to bits. He was a naive and arrogant youth, but he learned from his mistakes and chose to make the world a better place, recreating the Order as a better organisation and passing on the Creed. Imo Malik is an important friend and advisor who helped him find his path and make the assassins who they become under his guidance.

In regards to Maria, I'm happy for Altair and her to be a Thing in the background or past, a poly arrangement between Altair, Desmond, and Maria, whether as a throuple or a v relationship—or maybe she just stays a friend/offers to bear their children and nothing more.

Ezio Auditore

I like that Ezio is a bit of a playboy, seeking and priding himself in bringing pleasure. He's cocky, especially in his younger years, and very aware of his good looks. He's talented in the assassin arts, but lacks a support system in the beginning and lacks experience when dealing with cunning opponents. I like to see him as a very unconventional assassin in that he learned from thieves and courtesans who are allied to, but not skilled assassins in and of themselves.

Federico Auditore

Federico is an interesting character with a lot of potential but whom we know very little of. He's the heir of the family, shadoing their father during day business and night business. An initiated Novice still learning the trade, but still taking the time to play with Ezio or check in on his siblings and their various woes. I don't think he's got the Eagle Eyes to the same degree as Ezio, and he might not be as talented as his younger brother, but he still has a lot of potential and a somewhat more even temper even at that young an age... Possibly due to the responsibility he shoulders as the eldest, what with being in the know of their family secret.

Claudia Auditore

In my eyes, Claudia is a very headstrong character. Even before her father's and brothers' death she was stubborn and temperamental. She knows how to handle a household and uses those skills for unconventional tasks like the logistics of hiding an Assassin organisation smackdab in a mercenary town or Templar city. Or running a brothel. In that, Claudia grows to be very practical, abandoning the notions of nobility she grew up with. She wants to be in the middle of the action and won't take no for an answer.

Generally, I enjoy Desmond trying to blend in but having weird modern quirks that get dismissed as him being foreign. I love people coming to wrong conclusions that seem plausible since they can't exactly think "time travel" as their first option - I'm ambivalent on who Desmond ends up telling, or if he keeps filtering his experiences as "where I came from" tales. I don't think he would just tell everyone, but his love interest and/or his respective ancestor(s) are potential options there. I would love to see what the local assassins make of Desmond and his mixed, diverse skills and unconventional approach to solving problems. And if he finds a way to save people who died (Malik's brother, the Auditores, etc.) that would be cool! I just really want to see him interact with the assassins and close allies/friends while being a bit of an enigma to them.

Rebecca and Shaun

I love these two being the modern team for Desmond, and I love the idea of them growing into a tight unit (possibly in a canon divergence where Desmond lives, or perhaps he portals the three of them elsewhere/elsewhen during the activation of the Eye) who go about doing missions, or perhaps their mission is for Desmond to have a vacation first to recover (possibly interrupted by assassin business).

I love how snarky Shaun is and how invested he is in learning more about history. He's the very definition of "curiosity killed the cat", considering that's how he ended up with the Assassins. And I like that, despite his immediate disdain for Desmond, he still is more than willing to open up to him about these bits and answer Desmond's questions, and even try to scheme finding out more about history together. Shaun mentions that he's killed before as an assassin but prefers not to - that he prefers to be Desmond's analyst while Desmond's out in the field, dealing with things. I would love an exploration of what that looks like, and how Shaun handles himself once he is put on the spot. He's also clearly a worrywart, worrying over the other teams out there and trying to support all of them at once.

Rebecca as the tech whizz is interesting to me, especially with how she prides herself of being able to do the same things a team of Abstergo engineers does together, better and alone. She's often the mediator between Desmond and Shaun when their rough edges clash, but she's also confident in her own place. And for Shaun she's important because she brought him into the Brotherhood in a lot of ways, and they've been working together as a team ever since, building up a lot of trust. She's a thrillseeker, which really makes her a good fit for the Assassins.

Shaun and Rebecca closing ranks around Desmond is something I always love, especially if they carefully take a stance with Bill. The three of them dealing with Lucy's betrayal and Desmond's role in her death could be fun, too!

Prompts:

Desmond trying to fix his ancestor's mistakes and ending up crossing paths with them repeatedly in a cat and mouse game

Ezio being mostly unaware of Desmond in the background while his sibling slowly falls in love with Desmond with every interaction they have

saving Monterigionni or recovering it after the attack in some shape or form

Desmond trying to live a normal life in the past to the best of his ability but he keeps being pulled into assassin plots (either by assassins or the templars visiting his establishment). Possible occupations as a doctor or barkeep or similar job where his future knowledge helps him and Desmond's forced to interact with people

Altair and Desmond both being thrown into Ezio's timeline and having to deal with each other + trying to hide what happened from the assassins and templars both
Desmond Lives AU where he goes on celebratory vacation with Rebecca and Shaun or works together with them as his assassin team
Desmond taking Rebecca and Shaun with him as he travels back in time to Ezio's era (bonus points if Rebecca attracts Ezio's attention by being a fierce lady)

Castlevania (Cartoon)

Fandom-specific DNWs: focus on what the night creatures are and how they are created

I really like the dynamic between these three, whether it's platonic or shippy. Their banter is fun, the way they tease each other and yet fall back in sync in battle, perfectly supporting each other and complimenting each other's fighting style is just gorgeous and gives me all the found family vibes.

As you can perhaps tell from my prompts, I have a fascination with how these three are perceived from the outside. Whether that's a random villager's perspective or someone who is supposed to be close to one of them, yet still isn't in on some crucial details (or learns them during the story) and the misunderstandings and mystery that arises from these circumstances are hilarious to me. Especially in the irony of a vampire and a vampire hunter being friends/lovers, and how outsiders would react to learning this with disbelief and shock :D

Alucard

What I love about Adrian is how his whole nature is a contradiction. He's an impossibility - a dhampir, Dracula's son and Dracula's vanquisher. He's neither entirely human nor vampire and doesn't quite fit into either world. He's powerful and full of arcane and future knowledge thanks to his father's library and his upbringing, yet he's still unbelievably young, too, having grown up faster than usual, appearing older than he is. He seems worldly and experienced, yet Sypha and Trevor are his first real friends.

His story is tragic, too, in that he loses his mother and father at the same time, and then is forced to fight his father to the death to stop him from destroying the world in his own grief. His entire world broke within that one event, and he didn't even have time to process that. I love how he's a snobby nerd when he gets to be himself, but also immature and vulnerable with his new partners.

And I'm a sucker (heh! pun intended) for the vulnerability in baring your neck to a vampire willingly, knowing what it means to surrender like that, and I think it would mean a lot to Adrian too, especially if it's Trevor baring his neck. Similarly, I love worldbuilding that shows some different vampiric mannerisms that Alucard shows around Trevor and Sypha but which they don't understand because it's alien to them (but he knows. He knows he's giving away how important they are to him, but it doesn't matter, because no one who would understand sees).

Trevor

I love how Trevor is a terrible Hero in the beginning, just a down-on-his-luck, foul-mouthed and filthy drunk. He's refused the call because fuck everything, he's lost everything including his will to live so what does it matter? Except it does bother him, actually, which is why he lets Alucard and Sypha convince him to fight after all. He's just a tangle of bad coping mechanisms and the world doesn't really offer him great incentives to get healthier ones.

I do like to think that he finds ways to process his own grief and sad backstory with Sypha and Adrian in different ways. With Alucard, it's easy because their story is one of parallels - they don't have to talk about it, or give it a name, it can be the implications between words and silences, a quiet understanding of late night watches and a silence that stretches for hours only to end with a semi-ironic "...good talk." Sypha, on the other hand, forces him to put his pain into words that makes it more real... but also naming his grief and tragedy and pain chips away at the power they hold over him, allows him to process bit by bit and cope just a little better in the morning. Just her presence and optimism makes Trevor want to be better, do better, and I love that about their dynamic. And I love that Trevor, ultimately, *wants* to get better, wants to save the world, even if he's grumpy about it.

Sypha

I love how much faith Sypha has in the prophecy that led her to Alucard and Trevor, that she's the optimist of the group. She's in many ways the moral center of the group. Where Trevor sees the worst of humanity, and Alucard wants to see the best but is just a little to predatory in his view, Sypha wants and sees the best in people. It can make her seem a bit naive, but I don't think it's quite that - she *chooses* to believe in good faith until proven otherwise, and she's been proven otherwise often enough, in the speaker caravans and her travels with her boys both. And yet, she refuses to let that leave her jaded.

Plus she's such a *nerd*, and I love how she geeks out with Alucard about history and the library and everything they know in various languages and the sources. The seeker traditions about passing knowledge on orally are such a delightful contradiction to her love for books and hunger for knowledge, and it gives her a good excuse for having a great memory and recall, being trained in the art.

I also love her temper, how she's truly a firebrand and runs hot and cold with those being her two elements. She's such a badass and genius with magic too (she grounded Dracula's castle!!) She's insanely powerful and skilled, and I love how a lot of time travel fics default to her somehow managing a spell or destroying a spell that keeps them trapped somewhere with the itsy bitsy side effect that they end up in the past. Whoops.

I'm open to fics in which Sypha is pregnant or Trephacard already has kids. Sypha and Trevor ~somehow (stasis spell? Time jump? Not turning them into vampires tho pls) surviving to Nocturne era and helping Alucard meddle with their descendants could also be fun, especially if oral tradition didn't pass on Alucard being part of their relationship.

Prompts:

Any variant of wolf!Alucard accompanying hunter!Trevor with an identity and/or relationship reveal, especially if they run into other hunters/vampires
Time or dimensional travel that puts an established Trephacard face to face with a Dracula who still loves his son. I love the comedy and irony of Alucard and a Belmont being in love, and Dracula being forced to grapple with that. Plus I love Alucard getting protective, stepping between his father and his lovers. Ideally with a side of Sypha and Trevor being just as protective of Alucard('s feelings) and calling Dracula out on his bullshit.
Similarly, time travelling!Trephacard running into Trevor's family in the past and having to hide that Alucard is a vampire (until he gets found out, then they're busy protecting him from knives and stakes and consecrated whips). Whether it's on the road where they share a camp or them stopping by the family home to warn them of the church's conspiracy to kill the Belmonts off
AU where Lisa doesn't die and Alucard meets Sypha and Trevor during his travels. Getting together with a side of vampire politics, human "pets" and how Trevor being a Belmont vampire hunter plays into those dynamics
AU where through future knowledge (Seekers?) the Belmonts get convinced they need to ally with Dracula for the survival of their family somehow (or maybe the survival of the human race by guaranteeing Dracula's family's safety?) and Trevor ends up Alucard's personal bodyguard turned lover.
Trephacard travelling together fighting demons and vampires, either on their way to Dracula's castle or post-season 2. Having to hide from noisy villagers that they are a vampire/Belmont/speaker, and never quite knowing which of these identities will spark the villagers' anger (or worship, which can be even worse).

DC Comics

Fandom-specific DNWs: for Jay/Tim to be turned on by the idea of their relationship being incestuous (jokes about it are fine, but I'd prefer for them to be grossed out by the idea), exclusively bottom!Jason, Dark!Bruce or Really Bad Parent Bruce (I prefer him as Good Dad With Flaws or Flawed But Trying), Court of Owls, All-Caste/All-Blades

Re: batcest/the incest DNW for JayTim - I'm fine with other people considering Jason and Tim brothers (e.g. Dick), and I'm fine with both of them being considered a part of the Wayne family both by outsiders as well as family members. Both of them considering Bruce their adopted dad, Dick their big brother, etc. is fine too - as long as they don't see each other as brothers (because they weren't in the family at the same time as kids and didn't grow up with each other, nevermind all the drama that came with Jason's return). Very much a "my brother's other brother is also my boyfriend" situation.

I love the complicated batfamily dynamics, but especially Jason and Tim, and their relationship with each other and their other family members - or other Gotham residents. I'm happy for either of their teams to show up, too!

For art specifically: I love Jason being a shit brickhouse, while Tim is slimmer and lithe but still muscled in the way a freestyle parcour runner or martial artist would be. I love the way Jason towers over Tim by being taller, and I love Jason's leather jacket bad boy look to bits. For shippy art, Tim wearing Jason's oversized red hoodie and/or Jason tracing the scar he left on Tim's neck/grabbing him by the throat joke-threateningly or possessively is very iddy to me.

Jason and Tim

It's just so lovely complicated! On the one hand, Jason died and came back "wrong" with Pit-enhanced anger management issues, and then he goes and violently takes his jealousy out on Tim, who is anything between the ages of 14 and 17 at this point in the timeline, depending on how you wanna play it. Meanwhile, Tim goes from hero-worshipping Robin II to getting almost killed (multiple times) by said hero, accused of the crime of not living up to his idol's legacy. They both are each other's triggers in many ways, reminding them about the parts of themselves they dislike and the flaws they try so hard to hide. No matter where you wanna start with their relationship status on the enemies-to-brothers or -lovers range, I'm here for it!

I love whumping on these two, but I especially love the flavour of Tim whump with Jason whump (and his guilt about making Tim's life worse when he's forcefully confronted with the consequences of his actions) as the sprinkles on top. I love Jason's claustrophobia or Pit Rage being triggered, especially if this leads to then Tim getting triggered because he thinks Jason losing control will lead to the man attacking him again (or that even being the case, with little chance of escape for Tim due to circumstances) and now both of them have to deal with flashbacks while trying to scrape enough braincells together to escape their situation.

I also love how competent they both are in their own areas of expertise. Jason is a tank who mows down his enemies, fusing sheer brutal strength with the skill of the League of Assassins to be an incredibly dangerous opponent. He's also clever enough to set up traps and manipulate his enemies into triggering them, see his entire set-up of tricking Black Mask into springing Joker to have his confrontation with Batman. Meanwhile, Tim is crazy smart and can plan twenty steps ahead. He's slippery and manipulative and constantly has something to prove. Between their complimentary fighting styles and the fact that they both run an empire of sorts (Crime Lord!Jason and CEO!Tim), they are the perfect puzzle pieces to fit together. They're also both snarky/sassy and stubborn af and really well matched in personality imo.

Re: The Pit Rage: I prefer for it to be some sort of enhancement on emotions and urges that Jason already feels, a more frayed temper and an influence that makes it easier to lose control, but not something that intrinsically changes him as a person. While I'm more than happy with other Batfam members deciding to blame Jason's early bad deeds on Pit Madness, I would prefer if Jason at least is honest with himself and actually has to work on those impulses and the emotions that lay at the root of them. And I think even if they're clinging to blaming the Pit Madness to reconcile their own desire to have a relationship with Jason later, after he's calmed down some, most Batfam members know deep down that it's not just the Pit that made Jason who he is now. Especially Tim and Bruce, I think, would have plenty of incentive to insist on blaming the Pit but knowing better inside their own heads.

I would love if Jason never stopped being a Crime Lord, even if he works with the Bats now. I'm fascinated by his little Crime Alley empire, and the idea of the people there looking to him as a protector. I love Jason enforcing his Rules and using gang-related business as a front to help the people most in need. I love all of the prostitutes in the Alley considering Jason their pimp, who would loudly reject the idea if asked but he does check in with them regularly and makes sure they're all safe and clearly cares. I love the idea of the villain henchmen having clear opinions on working for Red Hood, to the point where Red Hood's hired guns are incredibly loyal to him (while those who disagree with him think he's crazy for trying to change the way crime works). I love the idea of Jason setting up shelters for homeless kids and addicts, making sure the families of his people are taken care of, maybe even giving away drug money to sponsor business start-ups or offering secret scholarships to the kids.

And I really like the idea of Tim somehow getting involved in Jason's crime empire and helping him with stuff Jason didn't even know he'd need, just randomly showing up and fixing tech or setting up charities. At some point all of Red Hood's men just greet Tim as if he's a part of their gang, so used to seeing him show up randomly. It's even funnier to me to imagine (Red) Robin being the only/first Bat allowed back into Crime Alley during reconciliation with the family, either in an AU that diverges during the Titan's Tower attack or as part of Jason trying to make amends with Tim (maybe after realizing Tim's a self-sacrificing idiot with terrible parents who needs more looking after than he gets?) Similarly, Red Hood showing up at WE's offices to "kidnap" or "threaten" CEO Drake-Wayne sounds hilarious to me, especially if it's a smokescreen for something else (like part of a case they're working, or Jason making sure Timmy gets enough sleep after a team-up).

Another thing I adore is Jason and Tim teaming up on cases or running into each other during undercover work. Especially if this happens while they still "hate" each other or think they do, with Red Hood crashing the meeting (Red) Robin is staking out or vice versa, or somehow or other giving themselves away when they run into each other with their bickering and then blaming the other. Working the same case from a different angle and then grudgingly piling intel together because destroying a human trafficking ring is (slightly) more important than their egos. Alternately, Tim going in with an undercover identity and wig as Hood's air-headed arm candy? (I'm partial to Alvin, Caroline, or Thea, but I'm open to you making up a new identity too.)

If you're going for enemies-to-brothers Jay & Tim, I'm more than happy with it ending before they get to acknowledging each other as brothers, as long as there's development towards reconciliation happening (and possibly out loud denying it but action speaking louder than words re: protectiveness and caretaking).

Smutty details

Damian & Tim

I love how complicated their relationship is. Tim is in many ways Bruce's son, and very close to him in his behaviours and priorities. Tim is the one who inherits Wayne Enterprises, is the clever detective and contingencies guy. I feel like even after the initial murder attempt(s) calm down and a truce is struck, Tim would be a trigger for Damian's insecurities. Which is kinda ironic since Tim himself can relate, not having felt like his place in the family is secure or that he's worthy of taking up that space as a teen. On top of that, Tim knows that Damian was a traumatized kid when he first joined, his worldview skewed by his upbringing. Especially after Tim's time with the League, he would have a better understanding of why Damian is the way he is. I don't think he'd forgive and forget immediately, and a reconciliation would still be necessary what with Damian being terrible at apologies, but he *was* just an insecure kid trying to secure himself a place in this world, and Tim *gets* that.

The League is another complicating factor in their relationship. Tim very much proved himself to Ra's in a way Damian hasn't been able to measure up to expectations yet, so in a way Tim's proven to be a better heir than Damian with both sides of his family. I feel like Damian would have very complicated and messed up feelings about this, from grudging respect for Tim being able to earn that honour and burning a lot of the League down to the insecurity of never being able to live up to Tim's ever-growing footsteps - another facet Tim can relate to, with his former hero-worship of Jason!Robin and the way he joined the family.

I just want these two kids to relate to each other, in e.g. their shared interest in art (drawn vs photography, granted, but they're both artsy!), their insecurities, whatever they can find to relate. I just want them to be forced to acknowledge their brotherly bond and help each other out (even if it's just grudgingly). Maybe Tim overhears people talking shit about Damian's heritage at a gala and icily intervenes, maybe someone approaches Damian to talk him into leaking WE secrets and turn on CEO!Tim, or perhaps there's a school thing and Tim is the only one available of the family to accompany Damian and it turns out more fun than either of them realizing they have a lot in common (potentially to their dismay). Or perhaps Tim belatedly inducts Damian in some sort of Robin secret, acknowledging him as his successor despite the way the passing of the mantle went down. Maybe the League of assassins shows up and they have to fight them off together, neither of them certain which one of them they're here for (or assuming it's for themselves, only to find out it's about their brother).

Notes on other characters

Bruce: I like that Bruce is a complicated and flawed human being who is terrible at admitting certain mistakes and overreacts when he feels things are slipping from his control. I think he has the necessary chops to be a decent father figure to all his batkids, and I like when that's emphasised in his actions (if not in how the other characters who them, I love all their relationships being complicated and messy). I think losing Jason made him spiral, and he met Tim at a terrible point in time and is likely overprotective to an unhealthy degree of his new kid, which Tim registers as not being good enough and needing to train more. Similarly, I like to think of Bruce's fights with Dick over his independence is learning to be able to let your kid go once they're grown and let them make their own mistakes, and his fight with Jason before Jason's death to be a misunderstanding that Jason took in the worst light, taking it as proof that this adoption would never work out and he was just a dirty street kid trying to reach far above his station, etc. Generally, I prefer the father-son relationships in the Batfam to be sincere and loving but filled with miscommunication and misunderstandings left unadressed (though I'm down for them being adressed during the fic if you wanna go there!)

Dick: While I'm fine with their relationships being complicated, I prefer Jason and Dick having bonding time and slowly developing a better brotherly relationship, which was then cut short with Jason's death, over Jason and Dick never having a chance to be brothers before his resurrection. Similarly with Tim, if this is set post-Battle for the Cowl, while I'm fine with Tim being pissed at Dick and more distant than before, I don't think they'd be actively fighting. Imo, Tim understands that Damian had to be Dick's priority and that Dick didn't intend it to hit Tim in the insecurities as it did, but the damage is still done. And Dick acknowledges that he's made a mistake and is doing his best to make amends.

Talia: I'm happy with a range of characterisations of her, from genuinely caring about Jason and wanting him happy to trying to use him for her own agenda of getting rid of the other Robins to pave the way for Damian. I do think that even if Talia has plans and motivations outside of Jason's happiness, she does genuinely come to care for him while he's under her care.

Jack and Janet Drake: Same as with Talia, I'm more than happy with the entire range of potential Drake parents. From good parents who care and do their best to spend as much time with their son whenever work allows, taking him with them during summer holidays whenever possible and staying in contact via phone and email, to abusive Drake parents (with Janet being ice-cold bitch with too high expectations, and Jack being the impulsively abusive type, especially if he had something to drink, lashing out at Tim as a "safe" outlet for venting their frustrations), or anything on the spectrum in between. If it *is* abusive Drake parents, I would love for Jason to find out and rescue Tim, or (if post their death) feel even more shitty for his assumptions about Rich Kid Replacement.

Prompts:
Jason&/Tim:

Titan Towers AU where something interrupts the fight and jerks Jason out of his Pit Mad-rage long enough to be confronted by what he's doing (beating up a teenager)
Shifter AU with pack dynamics! Jason's shifter recognizing Tim as pack despite his better judgment, Tim's shifter form being surprisingly tiny and adorable or more baby than it should be (due to abuse/lack of shifting/etc), Jason's shifter form having changed post-Lazarus Pit, Jason and Tim's shifter forms being the same or especially compatible, etc.
omegaverse with alpha!Jason and omega!Tim, especially if Jason is convinced Tim is an alpha, too, until he rips of the scent blockers and realizes the truth. Tim as the pack omega being the one who needs to invite Jason into the pack and being hesitant to do so post-Titan Towers attack but feeling pressured to because clearly his pack wants Jason back? Alternately, alpha!Jason finishing his "challenge" by biting Tim, accidentally creating a mating bond and the fall-out of that trauma
Red Hood saving (Red) Robin's & his team's asses during a Titans mission OR Tim interferring helpfully in some Outlaws mission. Bonus points if their respective teams are angry-confused and wary of the intrusion, but Tim shrugs it off (outwardly at least) and Jason accepts the help surprisingly easy after a lot of grumbling and swearing and shouting
JayTim going from hatefucking to in love but not telling each other because Oh No Emotional Vulnerability until a situation happens that forces them to confront their changed relationship
working a case together and being confronted with their assumptions of each other being skewed by perspective (Tim's former hero worship of Robin II and the glorification of Jason post-mortem, Jason's pit- and Talia-fuelled assumptions based on the surface facts of Rich Kid Tim Drake twisted by jealousy), realizing they have a lot more in common (especially their sense of humour. Love Tim being one of the few people who will encourage Jason's death jokes or share them with him)
stuck together: buried alive together under an exploded building or forced to hide during recon in a tiny closet and then getting locked in, or captured by bad guys and thrown into the same cell, or similar, being forced into close proximity while both their traumas are triggered (claustrophobia for Jason, Jason's Pit Rage reaction + being at his mercy while injured for Tim) leading to some form of revelations and reconciliation

Deja Vu by Dreamcatcher (MV)

Character Guide

Yoohyeon
Jiu
Sua - Siyeon - Dami
- Handong - Gahyeon

The two timelines: the one in which Jiu kills Yoohyeon

the one in which Yoohyeon kills Jiu

While my own interpretation shines through here, I'm interested in other people's interpretations, too! What stood out to you in the MV? What vibe did the characters give you? What sense of the world they inhabit?

Prompts:

What if Yoohyeon and/or Jiu are stuck in a time loop, forced to kill the other or be killed until they find a way to break the cycle?
What if it's Jiu having the Deja Vu experience of having killed Yoohyeon and that's why she drops the sword during the second timeline?
What if the first timeline is all in Yoohyeon's head, nightmares and paranoia of secret hints of a conspiracy... What if Jiu's secretly planning to propose to Yoohyeon, and Yoohyeon only learns of it with Jiu's blood cooling on her hands?
What if these are two separate timelines with a role reversal? What happens if Jiu and Yoohyeon meet their alternate selves?
Something based on the lyrics: As long as I can breathe/I can’t let go of you again/We'll be together for every moment and/or Even if I bet all of me for you/And the painful wounds deepen/As though every moment is a dream/I won't move away from you — to me, these lines read as if one timeline happened, and the person remembering (Jiu? Is this why she drops the sword?) cannot go through the same again, clinging to the other no matter how much the other hurts the one who remembers
anything that emphasizes the unequal power dynamics would be great! Especially if the imagery involves the throne and/or kneeling, fealty feels, loyalty/betrayal, etc.
Jiu or Yoohyeon holding the other close as they die, despite being the one who killed them

Jiu/Yoohyeon

This ship is full of fealty and betrayal, of intimate trust that is broken. I love that we see both Jiu and Yoohyeon in the respective roles, and see them being swapped constantly throughout the MV; it's just a trick of fate who ends up in which role. It is Jiu who raises the sword to Yoohyeon first, both when Yoohyeon is a princess fallen at Jiu's feet and when Yoohyeon is the servant kneeling before her princess. And yet in the memories, it's always Jiu who turns to Yoohyeon first with a smile on her face. And it is always Yoohyeon who remains behind, alone, closing her eyes and opening them to see everyone/no one around her. Yoohyeon who misses Jiu, despite being the one who decided to go through with killing her.

I love how they clearly loved and trusted each other, yet both started doubting at some point. They grow colder over time, confronting each other, both distrusting what the other was doing, both struggling with the need to strike first before they are betrayed (and in the end, Jiu drops the sword and Yoohyeon picks it up and goes through with it). There are so many possible nuances in their relationship, and I'd be happy with anything at any point during it (or after!)

Canon divergence where Luo Fusheng stays the Hong family's top enforcer or returns to that position once Hong Lan becomes head of the family. How do Luo Fusheng and Tianying deal with the tension between his sense of duty and her sense of what is right and wrong? Can she learn to see the grey areas and recognize that LFS is trying to do the right thing in his own way? How do Tianying and Hong Lan handle being important to Luo Fusheng with their on-going rivalry? How does Lin Qikai handle feeling protective of his little sister, his crush on Hong Lan, and the tense situation between those two and his best friend and blood brother? How do all of them deal with the corrupt police being led by their former friend, Xu Xingcheng?
Hong Lan and Tianying growing from rivals to friendship (although I see Hong Lan as the bitchy, snippy friend while Tianying is tolerantly amused by her poisonous barbs because she's learned to see the truth behind them)
Hong Lan growing out of her crush and into her responsibilities of head of the Hong family, making alliances with the Lin family and learning to use her starlet reputation to obfuscate her family's dealings. Luo Fusheng being her 2iC and supporting her, unquestionably loyal, protecting her from usurpers and assassins
Tianying getting to use her martial arts skills to kick ass. Maybe she gets kidnapped as leverage against Luo Fusheng and/or the Hong family, some sort of plot trying to drive a wedge between LFS and Hong Lan (who is very public in her rivalry with Tianying).

Juliette finding out about the Wesen world during the Seltenvogel case: I love how invested she was and how well she worked together with Nick to protect the Seltenvogel, even without being in the know.

Canon AU in which Nick and Renard have/had a fling pre-canon, before Renard becomes Nick's boss. I would love for some Unresolved Emotional Tension between Renard's emotional unavailability due to trust issues and Nick trying to 'forget' about his crush, mutual pining, "it was just sex" but actually there were feelings involved denial. Maybe they agreed to end it when Renard was promoted to captain?
Any and all getting together romances, especially for Nick/Sean/Juliette as a triad after having had relations between the three in pairs. Working through their issues and learning to communicate and trust and working together as a power triad of Prince, Grimm and artificial Hexenbiest.
Casefic! I'm especially fascinated by the misunderstood predator Wesen types where everyone assumes they're the perp, when it's a supposedly harmless prey Wesen using them as a scapegoat, or Nick & co having to face their prejudices when it turns out the predator Wesen is dating the prey Wesen for entirely harmless, normal reasons instead of being an abusive asshole to them.
Casefic where Renard's hand is forced and Nick gets suspended (possibly for being suspected as the murderer in a vigilante style case?) and no one is happy about it and everyone works together to clear his name and save the day
Wesen politics and how the characters fit into it, especially Renard as Prince of Portland but also a bastard and Zauberbiest, Nick as the friendly Grimm not working for a Royal exactly (or is he?), the Blutbaden working for a Grimm, the Kehrseite-Schlich-Kennen (Hank) who is so involved with a world he can't see or know, Juliette as either the Grimm's Kehrseite girlfriend or the artificial and overpowered Hexenbiest, etc.
For OT3 in particular: I love plots where an Outsider mistakes a happy poly situation for cheating (catching Sean/Juliette or Nick/Renard at it) and then struggles with the dilemma of how to tell the third party about it :3
Renard teaching Juliette how to handle her Hexenbiest instincts and teaching Nick what is natural to a Hexen-/Zauberbiest, which leads to Nick facing some uncomfortable truths about his captain and assumptions, but also becoming curious and growing closer to him (and Juliette again). Juliette writing notes in Nick's Grimmoires or writing a guideline to How To Hexenbiest for future generations?
How do Hexenbiests learn and teach? Do they form covens? Henrietta and Elizabeth are known friends, and Catherine is an ally of Sean's but she's someone he slept with and not a friend of his mother - how do they think of each other? Is Catherine the youngest of the three older Hexenbiests, despite looking the oldest? Do more powerful Hexenbiests simply age more slowly?

Nick Burkhardt

I really like how Nick is a Good Guy with Morals, someone who takes the oath of protecting the innocent seriously and believes in the judicial process and justice of the system—and I love how all of it gets challenged by the existence of Wesen and how they can't always be prosecuted like normal criminals. Nick's development is fascinating as he tries to balance his morals against these new limitations, as he tries to be different than his ancestors. Sometimes he still slips up, lets himself be guided by assumptions and prejudice. He has the potential to go dark, especially when he stops thinking, when he's hurting, when it's personal. It's his connections, his friends who pull him back from that brink. Nick handles himself best when he's part of a team, yet he tends towards trying to lone wolf it again and again.

A tendency Juliette could really help with, if only he told her earlier. What does it take for Nick to tell Juliette? Monroe constantly reinforces the secret-keeping and his Aunt suggested he should break up with her, which he clearly doesn't want. But Juliette is right to reject him for said secret-keeping too when he proposes marriage. When he finally tells her, he's an emotional, incoherent mess, panicking because he knows Adalind did something, and tells her in the worst way possible—and then learns the wrong lesson from it and decides to keep it from her /again/.

Other then that, I live for the times a new Wesen realizes Nick is a Grimm, both when Nick leans into the intimidation factor to find out important clues or when Nick reassures the Wesen that he's Not Like That. The Eisbiber clan and their acceptance of Nick as an ally was one of the highlights of the early seasons for me.

Juliette Silverton

Sean Renard

Nick/Sean/Juliette

All of their dynamics are sooo good!

Nick and Juliette have a really solid relationship at the start of the show. Every moment of domesticity is a great moment - I love their banter, and how Juliette knows when she needs to push Nick, and that Nick tells her details like that a case is getting to him. Juliette is the most supportive girlfriend ever, and when she's doing research is some of the best moments. Like when she offers to look into Nick's parents' deaths for him, because Nick is too busy/emotionally compromised to do it himself. But she's also clever and curious in her own right, see how she takes the Big Foot's hair into the lab. Really, if Nick had told her then, things might've gone very different. She's not a push-over either, calling Nick out on his secret-keeping during his proposal and when she's amnesiac and Nick *still* isn't telling her the truth about Wesen. She knows her worth.

Juliette and Renard have incredible chemistry on screen. The entire obsession arc was such a highlight for me, the way they fought the compulsion and desire. I like to think that the attraction lingers after the curse is broken, too. And the fact that Juliette seeks Renard out for help when she's turned into a Hexenbiest is *chefs kiss*. I mean, she calls him Sean! This is so important to me, y'all *heart eyes*

Nick and Renard then have this interesting tension. Renard protects Nick as best as he can when he's still fumbling in the dark of this new world, trying to take care of Reapers and the like using police resources, but not warning him. At the same time, Renard is the one who put a hit out on Aunt Marie and who ordered Adalind to seduce Hank to get to Nick. They don't trust each other, not exactly, but they work great together regardless. Renard goes through a Whole Process to purify himself so he can wake up Juliette, just because he wants to keep Nick on his side, but he doesn't tell him until he's forced to. The confrontation at the cabin was amazing and summarizes a lot of this tension. I'd love to see them at this point where neither is quite sure what the other will do or having overcome this phase and having found a common ground they agree on, some sort of understanding between them.

The three of them create a fascinating triangle with those facets. It could work out well with Renard more willing to tell Juliette the answers she seeks and a calming, restraining presence on Nick's worse impulses (as long as Nick allows this). Adding Renard would smooth the issues of the Nick/Juliette relationship out to a point where they could communicate better; while what's keeping Juliette/Renard apart is the monogamy commitment between Nick/Juliette in early seasons (and a lot of preoccupation with the relevant plot in later seasons). For Nick/Renard to work, Nick needs to decide to trust Renard, and Renard needs to be able to trust Nick to be more vulnerable and honest with him - this is true regardless of Juliette's involvement, but I think Juliette would ease that tension for them.

Adalind & Juliette:

I love how these two are set up as rivals. At first Adalind had the advantage, having powers and being in the know. But Juliette, even Kehrseite! Juliette is far from helpless. Over the course of the show these two keep hurting each other, Juliette having a grudge for all Adalind did to her (the coma & memory loss curse, raping Nick pretending to be her, which eventually leads to Juliette becoming a Hexenbiest) and being justifiably pissed. Similarly, Juliette was part of the conspiracy to keep Diana from Adalind, so Adalind starting from then has good reasons to be angry, too. I think if all that history wasn't between them, they would get along at least somewhat—neither of them would put up with the other's bullshit and they'd be too blunt and catty with each other. I can't quite see them as friends, but maybe somewhat friendly rivals? Rival acquaintances? I think if they were forced into close quarters (e.g. by Nick sharing custody over Kelly but staying with Juliette, or maybe sharing an enemy/goal) their dynamic and tension would be fun. They also seem to have the same taste in men, having both slept with Nick and Renard respectively.

Juliette & Rosalee

I love the friendship that developed between these two, to the point that Rosalee asks Juliette to be her maid of honour at her wedding. I wish Juliette had gone to Rosalee sooner with her Hexenbiest transformation issue and the two of them had figured out a plan to help her. Rosalee giving up on Juliette was one of the worst plotlines of the show, imo. Rosalee is optimism and the voice of reason, and she usually figures something out, even if it isn't perfect. Perhaps she helps Juliette move out of Nick and her house and live somewhere else for a bit while she comes to terms with her transformation? Maybe she's just a supportive someone in Juliette's corner so she doesn't feel ganged up on and like she lost all connection to any support network? Hexenbiest!Juliette can't go to her mortal friends, but all her Wesen friends were Nick's friends first - but I think Rosalee would put Juliette's needs first, if only they'd been able to talk earlier before Juliette started lashing out.

If you don't want to deal with the whole Hexenbiest arc, something earlier in canon would be great, too! Anything about Juliette and Rosalee working together to create potions or researching together. Maybe Juliette has regular catch-up lessons at Rosalee's apothecary to learn more about the Wesen world now that she's in the know? Maybe Rosalee starts introducing her to the community? The two of them ending up together in the middle of a case and protecting each other, or perhaps they're kidnapped as the "easy" targets, the weak links of the team - only to show their kidnappers how neither of them are week and meak, and how Juliette doesn't need to be Wesen to be dangerous.

Henrietta & Sean Renard

I am fascinated by this Hexenbiest who is such close friends with Sean's mom that she helped the two of them flee the Royal family despite what the potential consequences. We see a lot of Hexenbiests chase the Royal family as a source of power, and we know the King has a thing for Hexenbiests, so Henrietta burning that bridge feels like a Big Thing. Sean treats her as an expert and someone who is powerful - and Henrietta shows no fear when confronted by a Grimm (Nick) in season 4.

I would love anything that explores Sean's relationship to Henrietta. He doesn't use her like he does Adalind and Catherine (Adalind's mom), nor Adalind's Hexenbiest compatriots that die in the first season. Instead, he asks her for favours and treats her with respect. Did she help raise him? Did she teach him how to be part Zauberbiest? A scene where he asks her for help, whether in regards to Juliette or something else he's dealing with. Canon divergence where the ghost of Jack the Ripper doesn't kill her would be great, too - how would that influence the developements in season 4? What if Renard chose to hide Diana with Henrietta instead of Nick's mom? Or perhaps she was there when Meisner stole her back from the Royals?

Character backstory solo MVs: Yves (new), Chuu (Heart Attack), Go Won (One&Only), Olivia Hye (Egoist), plus their reunion in High Hi (short preview at 1:15 and then starting from 1:25 - the three girls surrounding/transporting Olivia are Jinsoul, Kim Lip and Choerry)

Character Guide

Yves: red skirt, dark-brown hair, the leader of the group, fruit: red apple, animal: swan

Chuu: yellow skirt, auburn hair, big smile, has a (platonic, canonically) crush on Yves, fruit: strawberry (despite the green apple in Heart Attack), animal: penguin

Go Won: blue skirt, blonde hair, friends with Yves and Chuu, fruit: pineapple, animal: emperor butterfly

Olivia Hye: green skirt, black hair, teacher's pet, fruit: blood plum, animal: wolf

Prompts:

anything that focuses on Chuu following/imitating Yves and her crush on Yves (like Chuu carrying a green apple because Yves eats a red apple)
contrasting Yves and Olivia side-by-side as equals/enemies, possibly with high-contrast opposite colours
Olivia as the outsider to the clique of Yves-Chuu-Go Won
Yves catching Olivia as she jumps in Hi High
What happened between Yves and Olivia? Why is Olivia the outsider, the lone wolf? Does Olivia reject Yves… or did Yves see something in Olivia that scared her? (feel free to involve the fan theory that Olivia caused Vivi (Yves' best friend/then girlfriend) to fall/die if you wish)
life at Eden’s boarding school and how the girls cope with the harsh rules—and how Yves is seduced by the life on the other side and seduces the other girls in turn to follow her
Chuu and/or Olivia pining after Yves, especially if she's dating the other girl and how they cope with that (I imagine Olivia would be darkly jealous and more of a cold-shoulder type while Chuu would try to cover the hurt with a smile?)

Yves/Chuu

I adore Chuu's cute little crush on Yves. It's very baby lesbian, where she can't tell if she wants to be her or wants to date her. Yves is cool and confident and knows what she wants, and all of that appeals to a starry-eyed Chuu. In Heart Attack, Chuu does her best to imitate Yves, practicing the dance moves from Yves' new choreography and carries a green apple around, an unripe version of Yves' fruit. It's also interesting imo that both their animals are birds, although with a penguin Chuu's is a flightless one.

For this ship, I would love any kind of level of shippiness. One-sided pining where Chuu simply continues to follow like a duckling in Yves' footsteps, or even confessing to her crush and getting gently let down would be cool - but so would be a getting together or an established relationship. I'm also down for Chuu watching from the sightlines as Olivia and Yves get together and being a supportive friend while it hurts inside!

Yves/Olivia Hye

For these two, I am in love with their antagonistic vibe. Olivia is clearly the outsider of the group, the literal lone wolf. She's the one who stays behind when the others leave (gets left behind as she watches them full of yearning). The last scene, with the headmistress clapping for Olivia always hit me as Olivia being a good lil teacher's pet and possibly tattle-tale who told on the others, in contrast to Yves' dreaming and sneaking out. Yves is the little rebel, the temptation, the one being seduced by the life out there and seducing the others to take a bite of the fruit that will change their lives.

They both have strong personalities and are natural leaders. Imo, Olivia wishes she could be a part of the group but something holds her back. This could be many things! Bad experiences or doubts or, if we're taking the fan theory into account that Olivia caused Vivi's fall from Eden - if she did do such a horrible thing to someone Yves loved, well, Yves' caution around Olivia would be quite justified, wouldn't it? (What if Olivia was jealous of the attention Vivi got from Yves, going on rollerskating dates and everything?)

Most interestingly, Olivia Hye's solo debut Egoist is all about Olivia letting a past love go and learning to love herself, with Yves put artistically into the MV as her antagonist/possible past love. It's an almost dark take of Yves' new, in which Yves discovers her own new self. Yves and Olivia are mirror images of one another in so many ways and narrative foils, and that dynamic /fascinates/ me.

Your facial expressions towards me turned cold at some moment
I wanted to despise you
But my heart wouldn’t let you go
(...)
From now on, I’ll love myself
Instead of you, I’ll live on

Worldbuilding

What is Eden? Judging by Choerry's MV where she portals through a mirror to the flipside, it seems akin to a mirrorverse of "regular earth", a reflection even. How do the girls each reflect their Loona 1/3 counterpart? Heejin and Haseul show up in Olivia's and Chuu's MVs respectively in the "epilogue" of each. What do those meetings signify?

On a different line of thought, what's the boarding school in Eden about? Is it just a regular school? Or are the girls being trained for something specific? What's with the biblical connotations of this part of the world being named "Eden" and the symbolism of eating red roses to escape? Is it a false paradise? Anything that explores this part of the world and/or the roles of the girls there would be fantastic!

How do the Isu and the Ancients relate? Are they the same species? Or are the Ancients elevated humans or human-Isu descendants? How do the Go'aulds relate? Is the sacrophagus old Isu technology similar to the Apples? If yes, can Desmond influence them?

I especially love the idea of Desmond as an enhanced human being a particularly sought after host for the Go'auld and having to fight them off with SG-1's help. But also, I love Desmond accidentally meddling with things he doesn't know the extent of and thus landing in SGC's sightlines, who have SG-1 guarding him. Just, unassuming but stealthily competent badass Desmond is really fun in this scenario. Both sides underestimating the other and reluctant to share actual intel, but just enough to alarm the other side?

Prompts:

Crossover Fandom: Assassin’s Creed x Time Engraver Commercials

The Time Engraver is an interesting character in that he seems rather inhuman and at a distance from humanity, but nonetheless fascinated by them. Is he an Isu that survived? An Isu that uploaded his memories like Minerva and Juno, or an Isu-blooded descendant who achieved the same? Is he something else - a construct by the First Civilisation, or perhaps an entity that developed outside them? Was the Time Engraver able or unable to affect the Isu?

Meanwhile, how does Desmond handle encountering him? After everything that's happened, Desmond seems willing enough to roll with the punches, so this may as well happen? Is Desmond dead and caught in the same realm, now having to forge his own identity and duty to humanity? Is the Time Engraver like him, or even an older version of him/from a different timeline? Can the Time Engraver help Desmond rewind time to save both the world *and* himself? Bring him back to life? Does the Time Engraver put Desmond in stasis just long enough to escape both Death and Juno's attentions, to put him back into his body once he's "safe" (even if that's in a Templar lab)?

Prompts:

Desmond meeting the Time Engraver after his "death"/in the Grey
Desmond being immune to the Time Engraver's work due to his special status as almost Isu
the Time Engraver being baffled by all the engravings he has to put on Desmond from all the reliving of his ancestor's lives and how many marks those leave on Desmond's soul, but not his body - just the Time Engraver struggling with what should be there and isn't

Crossover Fandom: Assassin’s Creed x Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters

I love the parallels between these two fandoms with the Pieces of Eden and Millennium Items, the orderly Grey being the opposite of the chaotic Shadow Realm (maybe this is where all the chaos went when Those That Came Before ran the Calculations. Maybe it's the bits in the universe that cannot be accounted for. Or perhaps Akhnadin accidentally ripped the Grey open when he created the Millennium Items, unravelling some of the Calculations that lead to a ripple effect down the line where Desmond ends up in the Shadow Realm instead of dying to the Eye? Alternatively, could the Shadows be used to contain Juno or shield Earth from the Solar Flare? Does Yugi find Desmond in the Shadow Realm while comatose?

Desmond Miles
I like Desmond as an algamation of his ancestors's skills and instinctual behaviours, struggling with remembering who he is without them, or perhaps leaening who he can be with those memories, but still his own distinct personality. I see him as someone who is stubborn and strong to escape his upbringing, wanting to indulge in normality which got him caught but is entirely reasonable for someone in his circumstances. Who could know it's actually real? He's someone who rolls with the punches because when you're raised on an Assassins Vs Templars conspiracy, might as well? He's got entire memories of the past in his triple-helix DNA and ancient tech frying his brain, why should Shadow Games be out of the realm of possibility? I feel like he's become more malleable while struggling to adjust to the Bleeding Effect, and I am fascinated by him being the only person that seems to come out on the other side not entirely broken (thanks to Clay's intervention, granted, but.)

Mutou Yugi is similarly a fascinating character to me. I love how he grows from this silly, shy nerd into the leader of his friend group, confident in his own place and power. He's compassionate, willing to sacrifice himself for the innocent, and in that he would relate well to Desmond I think. He's also drawn to mysterious, and I love crossovers where Yugi just randomly shows up where he's not supposed to (the Grey, unnerving Minerva? does he project a Shadow of himself to where Minerva and Juno are fighting as holograms?). He's so unassuming and yet, there's so much strength packed into that tiny package. Not a danger to everyone, only to those who would abuse their own power to hurt.

Thief King Bakura
I can't help but wonder how much Desmond is reminded of a hurt and lashing out Altair when he meets Bakura in Ancient Egypt. Bakura's been wronged as a kid, and so have his people, and now he's seeking vengeance. To achieve that goal, he's willing to sell his own soul to the darkness. I think Desmond, through the wisdom of having seen Altair struggle similarly, would be able to guide him into healthier coping mechanism - but also wouldn't be opposed to taking out the right power players that don't deserve to live; he would go after Akhnadin and his followers rather than Pharaoh Atem, though, and in that there would be tension between TKB and Desmond.

Prompts:

Desmond being thrown back in time during the moment of his death and landing in Ancient Egypt where he runs into Thief King Bakura on his revenge tour

Summary: Later, Tim would wonder if it wasn't his fault. Jason seemed to grow erratic after their encounter, and not much later he left the country after a fight with Bruce. If Tim hadn't tainted Jason's bright soul with his own, would he still have fought with Bruce? Would he have left in a fit of rage? Would he still have died?

In which Tim is a Lovecraftian horror determined to bring Jason back from the dead. It doesn't quite go as planned.

ficinabox revealed gifts last Thursday/Friday, and I for one couldn't be happier! Once again, FIAB is one of my favourite exchanges of the year. A big thank you to all of my creators for gifting me such wonderful fanworks 💖 I'm very lucky to have received a variety of mediums once more. I still can't believe I got fanvids two years in a row! AND gorgeous fanart this time around! And the fics are all great in both quality and content :D!

DCU - Batfam

an educational interlude (1.7k)

In which Red Hood!Jason has a lot of fun teaching the Crime Alley street kids classic literature, with a side of worldbuilding on how, exactly, Jason organizes his gang. It's sweet how much he cares, and how the kids are allowed to act their age despite their lives' circumstances.

a biography of a moment (1k)

A very sweet moment between Jason & Tim unearthing a piece of their shared past. I love that the writer chose to dig into the events of the The Diplomat's Son comic!

[ART] Let's go the distance

Very gorgeous shippy art of JayTim that worked so many of my likes into it (e.g. pinned to the wall, hand on throat). I love the art style, and the expressions on the characters speak bounds!

always on the tip of my tongue (7k)

An omegaverse undercover pre-slash JayTim fic that had all the best bits I love about casefics! Protective alpha!Jason and smart badass omega!Tim, with a bit of Red Hood Gang spice mixed in. Plus all the silent communication and competence, mutual pining, secrets and indirect crush confessions!

[Fake Trailer] Life in Eden Changed

This amazing fanvid sets up the narrative of the MV really well, doing a good job summarizing the salient bits and leaving the viewer in anticipation for the full story that is to follow. The biographies of the characters really add flavour to the interpretation, and the vidder has chosen a great backtrack to really ramp up the tension.

for the sin of swallowing the sun (1k)

This fic explores the deterioration of the friendship between Olivia Hye and Yves, following the events of the MVs and giving colour to the character motivation. I love that the writer brought in the fan theory regarding Vivi, and the respective animals that represent Olivia and Yves respectively.

I'm excited for creator reveals on the 10th so I can check out what else my creators have made! You should give these a shot, too, it's very worth it :D

Current Music: Diamond by Dreamcatcher

Dear FIAB creator(s)!

Thank you for creating for me :D I'm excited to see what you come up with! If you have an idea that's just a little left of a prompt I gave or something occured to you based on my list of likes, please don't hesitate to follow your muse - these prompts are more guidelines to my interests than set in stone.

I'm open to treats!

Castlevania (Cartoon)

Alucard

Trevor

Sypha

Prompts:

Any variant of wolf!Alucard accompanying hunter!Trevor with an identity and/or relationship reveal, especially if they run into other hunters/vampires
Time or dimensional travel that puts an established Trephacard face to face with a Dracula who still loves his son. I love the comedy and irony of Alucard and a Belmont being in love, and Dracula being forced to grapple with that. Plus I love Alucard getting protective, stepping between his father and his lovers. Ideally with a side of Sypha and Trevor being just as protective of Alucard('s feelings) and calling Dracula out on his bullshit.
Similarly, time travelling!Trephacard running into Trevor's family in the past and having to hide that Alucard is a vampire (until he gets found out, then they're busy protecting him from knives and stakes and consecrated whips). Whether it's on the road where they share a camp or them stopping by the family home to warn them of the church's conspiracy to kill the Belmonts off
AU where Lisa doesn't die and Alucard meets Sypha and Trevor during his travels. Getting together with a side of vampire politics, human "pets" and how Trevor being a Belmont vampire hunter plays into those dynamics
AU where through future knowledge (Seekers?) the Belmonts get convinced they need to ally with Dracula for the survival of their family somehow (or maybe the survival of the human race by guaranteeing Dracula's family's safety?) and Trevor ends up Alucard's personal bodyguard turned lover.
Trephacard travelling together fighting demons and vampires, either on their way to Dracula's castle or post-season 2. Having to hide from noisy villagers that they are a vampire/Belmont/speaker, and never quite knowing which of these identities will spark the villagers' anger (or worship, which can be even worse).

DC Comics

Jason and Tim

It's just so lovely complicated! On the one hand, Jason died and came back "wrong" with Pit-enhanced anger management issues, and then he goes and violently takes his jealousy out on Tim, who is anything between the ages of 14 and 17 at this point in the timeline, depending on how you wanna play it. Meanwhile, Tim goes from hero-worshipping Robin II to getting almost killed (multiple times) by said hero, accused of the crime of not living up to his idol's legacy. They both are each other's triggers in many ways, reminding them about the parts of themselves they dislike and the flaws they try so hard to hide. No matter where you wanna start with their relationship status on the enemies-to-brothers or -lovers range, I'm here for it!

I love whumping on these two, but I especially love the flavour of Tim whump with Jason whump (and his guilt about making Tim's life worse when he's forcefully confronted with the consequences of his actions) as the sprinkles on top. I love Jason's claustrophobia or Pit Rage being triggered, especially if this leads to then Tim getting triggered because he thinks Jason losing control will lead to the man attacking him again (or that even being the case, with little chance of escape for Tim due to circumstances) and now both of them have to deal with flashbacks while trying to scrape enough braincells together to escape their situation.

I also love how competent they both are in their own areas of expertise. Jason is a tank who mows down his enemies, fusing sheer brutal strength with the skill of the League of Assassins to be an incredibly dangerous opponent. He's also clever enough to set up traps and manipulate his enemies into triggering them, see his entire set-up of tricking Black Mask into springing Joker to have his confrontation with Batman. Meanwhile, Tim is crazy smart and can plan twenty steps ahead. He's slippery and manipulative and constantly has something to prove. Between their complimentary fighting styles and the fact that they both run an empire of sorts (Crime Lord!Jason and CEO!Tim), they are the perfect puzzle pieces to fit together. They're also both snarky/sassy and stubborn af and really well matched in personality imo.

Re: The Pit Rage: I prefer for it to be some sort of enhancement on emotions and urges that Jason already feels, a more frayed temper and an influence that makes it easier to lose control, but not something that intrinsically changes him as a person. While I'm more than happy with other Batfam members deciding to blame Jason's early bad deeds on Pit Madness, I would prefer if Jason at least is honest with himself and actually has to work on those impulses and the emotions that lay at the root of them. And I think even if they're clinging to blaming the Pit Madness to reconcile their own desire to have a relationship with Jason later, after he's calmed down some, most Batfam members know deep down that it's not just the Pit that made Jason who he is now. Especially Tim and Bruce, I think, would have plenty of incentive to insist on blaming the Pit but knowing better inside their own heads.

I would love if Jason never stopped being a Crime Lord, even if he works with the Bats now. I'm fascinated by his little Crime Alley empire, and the idea of the people there looking to him as a protector. I love Jason enforcing his Rules and using gang-related business as a front to help the people most in need. I love all of the prostitutes in the Alley considering Jason their pimp, who would loudly reject the idea if asked but he does check in with them regularly and makes sure they're all safe and clearly cares. I love the idea of the villain henchmen having clear opinions on working for Red Hood, to the point where Red Hood's hired guns are incredibly loyal to him (while those who disagree with him think he's crazy for trying to change the way crime works). I love the idea of Jason setting up shelters for homeless kids and addicts, making sure the families of his people are taken care of, maybe even giving away drug money to sponsor business start-ups or offering secret scholarships to the kids.

And I really like the idea of Tim somehow getting involved in Jason's crime empire and helping him with stuff Jason didn't even know he'd need, just randomly showing up and fixing tech or setting up charities. At some point all of Red Hood's men just greet Tim as if he's a part of their gang, so used to seeing him show up randomly. It's even funnier to me to imagine (Red) Robin being the only/first Bat allowed back into Crime Alley during reconciliation with the family, either in an AU that diverges during the Titan's Tower attack or as part of Jason trying to make amends with Tim (maybe after realizing Tim's a self-sacrificing idiot with terrible parents who needs more looking after than he gets?) Similarly, Red Hood showing up at WE's offices to "kidnap" or "threaten" CEO Drake-Wayne sounds hilarious to me, especially if it's a smokescreen for something else (like part of a case they're working, or Jason making sure Timmy gets enough sleep after a team-up).

Another thing I adore is Jason and Tim teaming up on cases or running into each other during undercover work. Especially if this happens while they still "hate" each other or think they do, with Red Hood crashing the meeting (Red) Robin is staking out or vice versa, or somehow or other giving themselves away when they run into each other with their bickering and then blaming the other. Working the same case from a different angle and then grudgingly piling intel together because destroying a human trafficking ring is (slightly) more important than their egos. Alternately, Tim going in with an undercover identity and wig as Hood's air-headed arm candy? (I'm partial to Alvin, Caroline, or Thea, but I'm open to you making up a new identity too.)

If you're going for enemies-to-brothers Jay & Tim, I'm more than happy with it ending before they get to acknowledging each other as brothers, as long as there's development towards reconciliation happening (and possibly out loud denying it but action speaking louder than words re: protectiveness and caretaking).

Smutty details

Jason & Others

Crime Alley Residents: how do they feel about the Robin with a Crime Alley accent? What do they think happened when he vanishes? How do the residents feel about Red Hood when he makes his appearance, his rules, his enforcement of them? Over time, how does this change? Do they start trusting Red Hood, do they become loyal to him? What would happen if a Alley teenager vocally disagreed with how Hood is handling crime in Crime Alley? They're not an outsider like the other bats, they have grown up here too, their criticism would surely hit differently even if the immediate response is anger. How does Jason handle that?

Gang Members: How does Red Hood recruit his employees? In the comics, it's implied that he steals members from other gangs for his own, but how does that work? What benefits does he offer, what vision? Are they down-on-their-luck Alley residents who don't have many options? Are they drawn to what Hood promises the goal of it all is? What *does* Hood tell others of his goal? How does he handle traitors and spies? Based on the comics, I don't think Hood would hesitate to shoot them down if he so much as suspected them of backstabbing, and he's still a crime boss. But how does working for Hood compare to the other kingpins and Rogues? Do they realize how young their boss is, and if yes, how do they react? What does his gang think about it when Hood starts painting a red bat on his armour and starts teaming up with the bats? How does Hood explain this?

Prostitutes: I love the headcanon that Red Hood protects the working girls of the Alley. The idea that he'd accidentally end up as their de-facto pimp is hilarious to me, especially if he didn't set out to do so. He probably just beat up their former pimps and/or particularly abusive johns to scare them off, and the girls didn't know what to think of that so with his crime lord reputation he was building they just assumed he wanted to take over the prostitution trade, too. I would laugh myself silly if you created something about the transition period for this, where the girls figure out what Hood wants from them in return, offering their services to him free of charge (with Jason being clearly uncomfortable with the mere suggestion and politely begging off), trying to give him the usual paycut instead their former pimps (Would he decline completely? take a lower cut? he's funded by the League/Talia for now but he needs a long-term income to keep his little criminal empire afloat. Does the drug trade alone suffice? The arms trade?), probably finally figuring out the best they can do is keep Hood informed about the interpersonal drama of his gang and other paying customers, possibly going out of their way to target certain people they think will have info Hood needs (like members of Black Mask's gang, corrupt politicians, corrupt cops, etc.)

Damian & Tim

Tim & Others

There's a variety of headcanons floating about how the Crime Alley Residents feel about Tim!Robin. I'd love an exploration of this! Did he make connections during his stalker phase? Were the working girls keeping an eye out for the 9-10yo kid running around at night on his lonesome? Are the residents generally inclined to be kinder to Robins since they're kids, or is Jason!Robin with his clear Alley accent the exception? Do the Residents spurn Tim!Robin since he replaced the Robin that was clearly Theirs, do they disdain his posh Bristol accent?

I would love some Outsider PoV on the passing mantle of Robin, especially relating to Jason and Tim, maybe even differing opinions on Red Hood having a vendetta against Robin specifically, or when he eases up on it and the kid is allowed back into the Alley. Ideally, I would love an exploration where different residents have different opinions. I'd be happy with a 5+1 or similar structures for this type of story!

Notes on other characters

WB: The Watchtower's Security Measures

I love the idea of Oracle and Tim being heavily involved in keeping the Watchtower's cyber security and technology up to date and cutting edge, especially when Tim's involvement is kinda kept secret and not attached to his hero identity. I love them being able to hack into and circumvent the tower's security, and the batkids being able to sneak in when they shouldn't have permission to e.g. rescue Red Hood who's mistaken as a villain.

WB: Public Opinion/Rumours About The Wayne Family

I love it when outsiders' perception of main characters is plausibly wrong, and I love gossip rags making up bullshit drama. Gimme the Gotham Gazette reporting on the in-fighting between the batsiblings about who gets to be the CEO when most of them would rather die than take over WE. Gimme "most eligible bachelor" rankings and the ribbing that happens when Tim does or does not overtake Dick once he's made youngest CEO. But also! All the charity work the batfam does and how public perception of that works. Do they notice certain areas of interest? Or certain habits, like e.g. Tim's addiction to caffeinated drinks? What does the public think about Tim being adopted by another rich guy after his parents die? Do the Gotham academy students and teachers have opinions on Damian al Ghul-Wayne joining their ranks? Is there public speculation about all of them being love affair bastards of Brucie Waynes sexcapades? What's the hot goss about Dick getting adopted late, well after he moved out?

Alternately, I would love anything about the batfam managing their public image, the PR stunts they pull, the way they organize leaks at times to cover up someone who doesn't want or can't be in the limelight right now.

Prompts:
Jason&/Tim:

Titan Towers AU where something interrupts the fight and jerks Jason out of his Pit Mad-rage long enough to be confronted by what he's doing (beating up a teenager)
Shifter AU with pack dynamics! Jason's shifter recognizing Tim as pack despite his better judgment, Tim's shifter form being surprisingly tiny and adorable or more baby than it should be (due to abuse/lack of shifting/etc), Jason's shifter form having changed post-Lazarus Pit, Jason and Tim's shifter forms being the same or especially compatible, etc.
omegaverse with alpha!Jason and omega!Tim, especially if Jason is convinced Tim is an alpha, too, until he rips of the scent blockers and realizes the truth. Tim as the pack omega being the one who needs to invite Jason into the pack and being hesitant to do so post-Titan Towers attack but feeling pressured to because clearly his pack wants Jason back? Alternately, alpha!Jason finishing his "challenge" by biting Tim, accidentally creating a mating bond and the fall-out of that trauma
Red Hood saving (Red) Robin's & his team's asses during a Titans mission OR Tim interferring helpfully in some Outlaws mission. Bonus points if their respective teams are angry-confused and wary of the intrusion, but Tim shrugs it off (outwardly at least) and Jason accepts the help surprisingly easy after a lot of grumbling and swearing and shouting
JayTim going from hatefucking to in love but not telling each other because Oh No Emotional Vulnerability until a situation happens that forces them to confront their changed relationship
working a case together and being confronted with their assumptions of each other being skewed by perspective (Tim's former hero worship of Robin II and the glorification of Jason post-mortem, Jason's pit- and Talia-fuelled assumptions based on the surface facts of Rich Kid Tim Drake twisted by jealousy), realizing they have a lot more in common (especially their sense of humour. Love Tim being one of the few people who will encourage Jason's death jokes or share them with him)
stuck together: buried alive together under an exploded building or forced to hide during recon in a tiny closet and then getting locked in, or captured by bad guys and thrown into the same cell, or similar, being forced into close proximity while both their traumas are triggered (claustrophobia for Jason, Jason's Pit Rage reaction + being at his mercy while injured for Tim) leading to some form of revelations and reconciliation

crime lord!Red Hood buying (Red) Robin at an auction/being gifted (Red) Robin because everyone knows his vendetta against the bats. Alternately, Jack and/or Janet Drake selling their son off to the mafia/Red Hood because he's not the right kind of heir (especially in an omegaverse with omega!Tim, D/s au with sub!Tim, shifter au with prey!Tim, etc)

Damian & Tim:

reconciliation after Bruce's return from the time stream
learning something about the other that leaves them feeling protective (e.g. Damian getting flak for being mixed race)

Crime Alley Residents:

how they see Robin II vs Robin III, how they interact with Robin in general, Outsider PoV on batfam in general
Crime Alley Residents learning to trust Red Hood and getting protective of him
Tim having Crime Alley contacts from his stalkerphase
what employment benefits does Red Hood offer to incentivice joining his gang? (better security against bats? less getting beating up by bats? keeping bats out of Crime Alley? moral superiority/ethics?)
Red Hood becoming Crime Alley's pimp by accident bc he's protective of the working girls and how they repay that with loyalty/information

WB: Watchtower's Security:

the batkids being able to break in without permission to e.g. rescue Red Hood who's mistaken as the villain du jour by the Leaguers
Oracle and Cyborg being in contact to upgrade the security
seemingly ridiculous Bat-contingencies and protocols that turn out to be needed
Tim using the excuse to upgrade the Watchtower's tech to sneak in in civvie disguise

Grimm (TV)

Fandom-specific DNWs: re zombies/undead: please keep descriptions/depictions of the Hexen-/Zauberbiest Woge non-graphic/-detailed (see: body horror/gore DNW)

Prompts:

Juliette finding out about the Wesen world during the Seltenvogel case: I love how invested she was and how well she worked together with Nick to protect the Seltenvogel, even without being in the know. What if she followed him earlier? What if the Seltenvogel gave too much away for Nick to brush off? What if she saw something she shouldn't have and Nick is forced to tell her?
Canon AU in which Nick and Renard have/had a fling pre-canon, before Renard becomes Nick's boss. I would love for some Unresolved Emotional Tension between Renard's emotional unavailability due to trust issues and Nick trying to 'forget' about his crush, mutual pining, "it was just sex" but actually there were feelings involved denial. Maybe they agreed to end it when Renard was promoted to captain?
Any and all getting together romances, especially for Nick/Sean/Juliette as a triad after having had relations between the three in pairs. Working through their issues and learning to communicate and trust and working together as a power triad of Prince, Grimm and artificial Hexenbiest.
Casefic! I'm especially fascinated by the misunderstood predator Wesen types where everyone assumes they're the perp, when it's a supposedly harmless prey Wesen using them as a scapegoat, or Nick & co having to face their prejudices when it turns out the predator Wesen is dating the prey Wesen for entirely harmless, normal reasons instead of being an abusive asshole to them.
Casefic where Renard's hand is forced and Nick gets suspended (possibly for being suspected as the murderer in a vigilante style case?) and no one is happy about it and everyone works together to clear his name and save the day
Wesen politics and how the characters fit into it, especially Renard as Prince of Portland but also a bastard and Zauberbiest, Nick as the friendly Grimm not working for a Royal exactly (or is he?), the Blutbaden working for a Grimm, the Kehrseite-Schlich-Kennen (Hank) who is so involved with a world he can't see or know, Juliette as either the Grimm's Kehrseite girlfriend or the artificial and overpowered Hexenbiest, etc.
For OT3 in particular: I love plots where an Outsider mistakes a happy poly situation for cheating (catching Sean/Juliette or Nick/Renard at it) and then struggles with the dilemma of how to tell the third party about it :3
Renard teaching Juliette how to handle her Hexenbiest instincts and teaching Nick what is natural to a Hexen-/Zauberbiest, which leads to Nick facing some uncomfortable truths about his captain and assumptions, but also becoming curious and growing closer to him (and Juliette again). Juliette writing notes in Nick's Grimmoires or writing a guideline to How To Hexenbiest for future generations?
How do Hexenbiests learn and teach? Do they form covens? Henrietta and Elizabeth are known friends, and Catherine is an ally of Sean's but she's someone he slept with and not a friend of his mother - how do they think of each other? Is Catherine the youngest of the three older Hexenbiests, despite looking the oldest? Do more powerful Hexenbiests simply age more slowly?

Nick Burkhardt

I really like how Nick is a Good Guy with Morals, someone who takes the oath of protecting the innocent seriously and believes in the judicial process and justice of the system—and I love how all of it gets challenged by the existence of Wesen and how they can't always be prosecuted like normal criminals. Nick's development is fascinating as he tries to balance his morals against these new limitations, as he tries to be different than his ancestors. Sometimes he still slips up, lets himself be guided by assumptions and prejudice. He has the potential to go dark, especially when he stops thinking, when he's hurting, when it's personal. It's his connections, his friends who pull him back from that brink. Nick handles himself best when he's part of a team, yet he tends towards trying to lone wolf it again and again.

A tendency Juliette could really help with, if only he told her earlier. What does it take for Nick to tell Juliette? Monroe constantly reinforces the secret-keeping and his Aunt suggested he should break up with her, which he clearly doesn't want. But Juliette is right to reject him for said secret-keeping too when he proposes marriage. When he finally tells her, he's an emotional, incoherent mess, panicking because he knows Adalind did something, and tells her in the worst way possible—and then learns the wrong lesson from it and decides to keep it from her /again/.

Other then that, I live for the times a new Wesen realizes Nick is a Grimm, both when Nick leans into the intimidation factor to find out important clues or when Nick reassures the Wesen that he's Not Like That. The Eisbiber clan and their acceptance of Nick as an ally was one of the highlights of the early seasons for me.

Juliette Silverton

Sean Renard

Nick/Sean/Juliette

All of their dynamics are sooo good!

Nick and Juliette have a really solid relationship at the start of the show. Every moment of domesticity is a great moment - I love their banter, and how Juliette knows when she needs to push Nick, and that Nick tells her details like that a case is getting to him. Juliette is the most supportive girlfriend ever, and when she's doing research is some of the best moments. Like when she offers to look into Nick's parents' deaths for him, because Nick is too busy/emotionally compromised to do it himself. But she's also clever and curious in her own right, see how she takes the Big Foot's hair into the lab. Really, if Nick had told her then, things might've gone very different. She's not a push-over either, calling Nick out on his secret-keeping during his proposal and when she's amnesiac and Nick *still* isn't telling her the truth about Wesen. She knows her worth.

Juliette and Renard have incredible chemistry on screen. The entire obsession arc was such a highlight for me, the way they fought the compulsion and desire. I like to think that the attraction lingers after the curse is broken, too. And the fact that Juliette seeks Renard out for help when she's turned into a Hexenbiest is *chefs kiss*. I mean, she calls him Sean! This is so important to me, y'all *heart eyes*

Nick and Renard then have this interesting tension. Renard protects Nick as best as he can when he's still fumbling in the dark of this new world, trying to take care of Reapers and the like using police resources, but not warning him. At the same time, Renard is the one who put a hit out on Aunt Marie and who ordered Adalind to seduce Hank to get to Nick. They don't trust each other, not exactly, but they work great together regardless. Renard goes through a Whole Process to purify himself so he can wake up Juliette, just because he wants to keep Nick on his side, but he doesn't tell him until he's forced to. The confrontation at the cabin was amazing and summarizes a lot of this tension. I'd love to see them at this point where neither is quite sure what the other will do or having overcome this phase and having found a common ground they agree on, some sort of understanding between them.

The three of them create a fascinating triangle with those facets. It could work out well with Renard more willing to tell Juliette the answers she seeks and a calming, restraining presence on Nick's worse impulses (as long as Nick allows this). Adding Renard would smooth the issues of the Nick/Juliette relationship out to a point where they could communicate better; while what's keeping Juliette/Renard apart is the monogamy commitment between Nick/Juliette in early seasons (and a lot of preoccupation with the relevant plot in later seasons). For Nick/Renard to work, Nick needs to decide to trust Renard, and Renard needs to be able to trust Nick to be more vulnerable and honest with him - this is true regardless of Juliette's involvement, but I think Juliette would ease that tension for them.

From now on, I’ll love myself
Instead of you, I’ll live on

Crossover Fandom: Assassin’s Creed x Stargate SG-1

How does the mind control of the Apple of Eden compare to what the Go'auld do? Are the Go'auld an escaped experiment of the Isu to recreate the POE effect in something more "alive" or "sentient"? How do the Ancients factor in? Are they the offspring of Isu/human pairings or something else?
Daniel is super into ancient histories and Desmond is a living depository of the histories of his ancestors - how does that interest play out?
Desmond infiltrating Stargate Command in Cheyenne mountain for some reason or other
a Go'auld trying to take over Desmond as a Hok'taur but Desmond's involvement with the POE and/or his close genetics with the Isu preventing them from taking over? Alternately, his mind is so broken and compartmentalized due to the Bleeding Effect, that the Go'auld just becomes one voice amongst many

Crossover Fandom: Grimm x Harry Potter - JKR

I'd be interested in either dimensional travel or same world fusion style crossover for this one!

I love the parallels between the two canons and would love explorations of those - how do witches compare to Hexenbiests? Werewolves to Blutbaden? How is potionmaking different between the two canons, and what's similar? Do Wesen count as magical creatures, wizardkind, or something else? What does the Portland crew make of Animagi and Patroni? And where do Grimm fit into this whole set-up?

The requested relationships are ideal for exploring these facets imo. Hermione is as into research as Juliette pre-Hexenbiest days, and once Juliette is a Hexenbiest she's still learning how to control herself - how do you turn a Muggle into a witch? Hermione for sure would be curious about that whole debacle. On the other hand, Rosalee is the Portland crew's potioneering expert and an apothecary, which seems a great set-up for her to cross paths with Hermione and discuss related topics. Meanwhile, Sirius is really close to Remus and has experience both as a dog shifter and with werewolves, so him meeting Monroe could be a lot of fun! Maybe he's trying to stay off the Ministry's radar in Portland and runs across Monroe's backyard or into an on-going Grimm case?

Prompts:

Hermione comparing potions and ingredients with Rosalee in her apothecary, both of them trying to figure out why the other's work and how to adapt them for similar uses in their specialty (Wesen/witchcraft)
Hermione being mistaken for a Hexenbiest who has iron control over her Woge
Henrietta sending Hexenbiest!Juliette to Hermione for a last chance at a cure or learning control
in an AU where Juliette coped better with the transformation, she and Hermione compare their different understanding of witchcraft and come up with new spells from their shared research
Hermione is a friend of Rosalee's or Juliette's who gets dragged into Wesen plot by accident
Monroe and Sirius meet while Sirius is on the run/got dropped into Grimm world via Veil, recognise each other as canines and (after possibly a pissing contest because instincts?) bond over werewolf/Blutbaden friends and struggles to live vegetarian

琅琊榜 | Nirvana in Fire (TV)

Fandom-specific DNWs: Re sickfic: Mei Changsu spitting blood, fainting or getting a fever (with fever dreams or hallucinations) is fine as long as there's no vomit or incontinence involved

Mei Changsu/Xiao Jingyan

I love how clever and smart everyone in this canon is, and that Mei Changsu is still two steps ahead of them usually, and if he's caught off-guard he is great enough at improvisation to twist the situation to his advantage. I love how clearly he keeps his three identities distinct: Su Zhe, the loathfully ambitious scholar, Mei Changsu, the politically-minded jianghu chief, and Lin Shu, the proper and filial son of the empire. And I love that when Xiao Jingyan looks at him, he sees all three as being the same person, all of the flaws and strengths making up the person he loves, no matter how much he seems to have changed on the surface with his new limitations.

I love that Xiao Jingyan is smart, but more than that he's stubborn. He takes the virtue of honesty and bullheadedly refuses to twist the truth even if it would be to his advantage. He's not bad at politics, he just doesn't see the point and finds the lies and bribes and greed distasteful.

And both of them are incredibly loyal, to each other, to their allies, to their ideal and the memory of Prince Qi.

Mu Nihuang

I love how badass in battle Nihuang is, and how she's now forced to adapt to the political intrigue in the capital/palace. She's clever, but she's not used to defend herself from these sneaky sort of attacks. She needs help defending herself, and I love how in that she and MCS are in a sort of role reversal: she can protect him from physical attacks, and he protects her from verbal and sneaky assaults. She trusts Lin Shu unquestioningly, even as he lies to her about when he'll die, how much time they'll still have together. She lies for him and protects him as best as she can, trusting that he has a good reason. She's incredibly loyal and devoted, and ready to rebel against the Emperor when she believes he's in danger.
I would love anything that explored her learning how to thread the needle of social graces at the palace, perhaps gaining advice from Consort Jing as someone she can trust.

Prompts

Canon AU or Divergence in which Mu Nihuang is officially wed to Xiao Jingyan. I could see this happening in a few different scenarios:
1. Emperor Dad decides this is the easiest way to get Mu Nihuang away from her army and stuck in the city, while simultaneously plotting to keep Jingyan away from the capital on eternal army missions to avoid the two of them colluding against him.
2. Mu Nihuang requests of Su Zhe to prove his capability by marrying her to Xiao Jingyan - if she has to marry she wants to marry the one man who will share her grief for Lin Shu. This is of course quite the difficult feat because the Emperor will fear the two of them colluding to avenge the Chiyan army, so Su Zhe will have to be very clever.
3. Consort Jing being involved in convincing the Emperor to marry these two: they are childhood friends and Mu Nihuang won't be put off by Jingyan's military bearing, but understanding. Perhaps implying that they are both rather blunt and bad at hiding their true feelings, so the Emperor won't have to worry about a clever wife advancing Jingyan's Chiyan case goals within court.
Early Identity Reveals: what if Xiao Jingyan finds out first; Xiao Jingyan, Mu Nihuang and Consort Jing all realizing on their first meeting with Su Zhe who he truly is and just humouring Mei Changsu in his belief he's keeping the secret perfectly hidden; Xiao Jingyan and Mu Nihuang collaborating to better hide Mei Changsu's true identity to keep him safe
Post-Canon Fix-It Outsider PoV making assumptions about Mei Changsu/Su Zhe being an advisor in Jingyan's court. I love rumours and wild gossip and seeing it contrasted with the truth!

Deja Vu by Dreamcatcher (MV)

Character Guide

Yoohyeon
Jiu
Sua - Siyeon - Dami
- Handong - Gahyeon

The two timelines: the one in which Jiu kills Yoohyeon

the one in which Yoohyeon kills Jiu

Prompts:

What if Yoohyeon and/or Jiu are stuck in a time loop, forced to kill the other or be killed until they find a way to break the cycle?
What if it's Jiu having the Deja Vu experience of having killed Yoohyeon and that's why she drops the sword during the second timeline?
What if the first timeline is all in Yoohyeon's head, nightmares and paranoia of secret hints of a conspiracy... What if Jiu's secretly planning to propose to Yoohyeon, and Yoohyeon only learns of it with Jiu's blood cooling on her hands?
What if these are two separate timelines with a role reversal? What happens if Jiu and Yoohyeon meet their alternate selves?
Something based on the lyrics: As long as I can breathe/I can’t let go of you again/We'll be together for every moment and/or Even if I bet all of me for you/And the painful wounds deepen/As though every moment is a dream/I won't move away from you — to me, these lines read as if one timeline happened, and the person remembering (Jiu? Is this why she drops the sword?) cannot go through the same again, clinging to the other no matter how much the other hurts the one who remembers
anything that emphasizes the unequal power dynamics would be great! Especially if the imagery involves the throne and/or kneeling, fealty feels, loyalty/betrayal, etc.
Jiu or Yoohyeon holding the other close as they die, despite being the one who killed them

Descendants (Disney Movies)

Fandom-specific DNWs: focus on anything that happens in the 3rd movie (mentions are fine, pretending it never happened is also great)

Character Guide

Left: Uma, daughter of Ursula (The Little Mermaid) - Right: Jane, daughter of the Fairy Godmother (Cinderella, in the Descendants-verse she's the headmistress of Auradon High)

And here is one of the only times these two share screentime (THE only? I'd have to rewatch the movies to make sure, but I don't think they're on screen together in the same cut of DD2) Probably the only one they are seemingly next to each other, though!

final dance sequence from Disney's Descendants 3

Prompts:

any of the other characters finding out that bad girl!Uma is dating goodie-two-shoes!wallflower!Jane
Uma asking Jane out and Jane assuming it's on a dare/a pity date/a prank, but still saying yes
Jane drunkenly confessing her crush to Carlos and swearing him to secrecy the next morning
Uma assuming Jane keeps staring at her because she's gawking at the Sea Witch's daughter/scared of her/trying to keep an eye on her because surely she'll do something awful soon and confronting her about it, only to be taken aback by a flustered Jane blushing and asking her out
Jane and Uma going to prom together with their very contrasting fashion styles (Jane all in high-neck, long-sleeved pastel blue dress barely showing skin? Uma with a more punk-rock pleather aesthetic? But feel free to ignore me and go wild!)
Jane being assigned as the Auradon guide/mentor for Uma (possibly also Harry and Gil) and having to deal with their boundary pushing, trying to see what it takes for her to retaliate (with Jane learning to set boundaries and the VKs being impressed when she finally does draw the line)

Jane/Uma

For me, this started as a crackship - which characters are so different from each other that no one would suspect they're dating? And then have their future selves show up and have the canon kids react to that reveal.

Somewhere along that journey, my brain really latched onto this ship. It makes so much sense. They complement each other so well, being near entirely opposites. Uma is brash, in your face, unapologetic about being a villain. She knows what she wants and won't hesitate to get it. Meanwhile, Jane is shy, a push-over and people-pleaser, barely knows what she wants for herself, and if she does, she doesn't dare speak up about it, in case it burdens the people around her. She's everyone's friend but no one is her friend (before Carlos. Ben tries, but he's busy and believes her when she says "It's fine.")

They could be so good for each other. For Uma, Jane gives her someone entirely lacking in deceit. Jane is earnest and genuinely kind without ulterior motive, which Uma (and the other VKs) are not used to (nor would they trust it at first, I don't think). Jane could teach her to open up, to make herself vulnerable and come out of the other end whole - give her a person she can *trust*. Because the only people Uma trusts is herself (and to some degree Harry, but even there she knows it's because she's top bitch; Harry is devoted to her and her trusted second in command but on the Isle showing weakness leads to betrayal. I think they too could learn to relax and allow their friendship to grow into something more outside of the Isle, but I'm degressing.) The last time Uma trusted someone to any degree she got betrayed (by Mal in the books), which is the way of the Isle and growing up in that environment shaped her.

On the other hand, Uma could teach Jane to stand up for herself. Once Jane earns her respect, she would be protective of her, as part of her crew. Uma pushes boundaries and takes advantage of anyone she perceives as weak, and likely would do so to a push-over like Jane in the beginning. But Jane can learn to set boundaries in this relationship, and it's important for her to grow a backbone - and when she does, Uma respects her all the more for it, which works in a feedback loop to make Jane more certain of standing her ground and holding her own opinions. She can learn saying "no" from and to Uma, and with Uma's backing to others (especially Mal lol).

Also, Uma is pretty powerful magically, having inherited Ursula's sea witchery (in DD2 she turns into the same giant half-kraken Ursula does in The Little Mermaid). Meanwhile, we don't really see Jane use magic, but Fairy Godmother's wand is a powerful tool everyone is fighting for in DD1 and it does make Jane at least half-fairy. I feel like she could be a good match for Uma with the right training or incentive :)

TL;DR they both have fascinating insecurities and trust issues, and their relationship could go either fantastic or fantastically wrong, depending on how willing they both are to work on it :D

Background ships: I personally ship Jay/Carlos and Ben/Mal/Evie, with Uma & Harry & Gil being an inseparable trio and Jane & Carlos being gay besties (who tried dating but figured out they weren't right together).

Castlevania (Cartoon)

Fandom-specific DNWs: focus on what the night creatures are and how they are created
Requested Ships: Alucard | Adrian Tepes/Trevor Belmont/Sypha Belnades, Alucard | Adrian Tepes/Trevor Belmont

I really like the dynamic between these three, whether it's platonic or shippy. Their banter is fun, the way they tease each other and yet fall back in sync in battle, perfectly supporting each other and complimenting each other's fighting style is just gorgeous and gives me all the found family vibes.

As you can perhaps tell from my prompts, I have a fascination with how these three are perceived from the outside. Whether that's a random villager's perspective or someone who is supposed to be close to one of them, yet still isn't in on some crucial details (or learns them during the story) and the misunderstandings and mystery that arises from these circumstances are hilarious to me. Especially in the irony of a vampire and a vampire hunter being friends/lovers, and how outsiders would react to learning this with disbelief and shock :D

Alucard

Trevor

Sypha

Prompts:

Any variant of wolf!Alucard accompanying hunter!Trevor with an identity and/or relationship reveal, especially if they run into other hunters/vampires
Time or dimensional travel that puts an established Trephacard face to face with a Dracula who still loves his son. I love the comedy and irony of Alucard and a Belmont being in love, and Dracula being forced to grapple with that. Plus I love Alucard getting protective, stepping between his father and his lovers. Ideally with a side of Sypha and Trevor being just as protective of Alucard('s feelings) and calling Dracula out on his bullshit.
Similarly, time travelling!Trephacard running into Trevor's family in the past and having to hide that Alucard is a vampire (until he gets found out, then they're busy protecting him from knives and stakes and consecrated whips). Whether it's on the road where they share a camp or them stopping by the family home to warn them of the church's conspiracy to kill the Belmonts off
AU where Lisa doesn't die and Alucard meets Sypha and Trevor during his travels. Getting together with a side of vampire politics, human "pets" and how Trevor being a Belmont vampire hunter plays into those dynamics
AU where through future knowledge (Seekers?) the Belmonts get convinced they need to ally with Dracula for the survival of their family somehow (or maybe the survival of the human race by guaranteeing Dracula's family's safety?) and Trevor ends up Alucard's personal bodyguard turned lover.
Trephacard travelling together fighting demons and vampires, either on their way to Dracula's castle or post-season 2. Having to hide from noisy villagers that they are a vampire/Belmont/speaker, and never quite knowing which of these identities will spark the villagers' anger (or worship, which can be even worse).

DC Comics

Jason and Tim

It's just so lovely complicated! On the one hand, Jason died and came back "wrong" with Pit-enhanced anger management issues, and then he goes and violently takes his jealousy out on Tim, who is anything between the ages of 14 and 17 at this point in the timeline, depending on how you wanna play it. Meanwhile, Tim goes from hero-worshipping Robin II to getting almost killed (multiple times) by said hero, accused of the crime of not living up to his idol's legacy. They both are each other's triggers in many ways, reminding them about the parts of themselves they dislike and the flaws they try so hard to hide. No matter where you wanna start with their relationship status on the enemies-to-brothers or -lovers range, I'm here for it!

I love whumping on these two, but I especially love the flavour of Tim whump with Jason whump (and his guilt about making Tim's life worse when he's forcefully confronted with the consequences of his actions) as the sprinkles on top. I love Jason's claustrophobia or Pit Rage being triggered, especially if this leads to then Tim getting triggered because he thinks Jason losing control will lead to the man attacking him again (or that even being the case, with little chance of escape for Tim due to circumstances) and now both of them have to deal with flashbacks while trying to scrape enough braincells together to escape their situation.

I also love how competent they both are in their own areas of expertise. Jason is a tank who mows down his enemies, fusing sheer brutal strength with the skill of the League of Assassins to be an incredibly dangerous opponent. He's also clever enough to set up traps and manipulate his enemies into triggering them, see his entire set-up of tricking Black Mask into springing Joker to have his confrontation with Batman. Meanwhile, Tim is crazy smart and can plan twenty steps ahead. He's slippery and manipulative and constantly has something to prove. Between their complimentary fighting styles and the fact that they both run an empire of sorts (Crime Lord!Jason and CEO!Tim), they are the perfect puzzle pieces to fit together. They're also both snarky/sassy and stubborn af and really well matched in personality imo.

Re: The Pit Rage: I prefer for it to be some sort of enhancement on emotions and urges that Jason already feels, a more frayed temper and an influence that makes it easier to lose control, but not something that intrinsically changes him as a person. While I'm more than happy with other Batfam members deciding to blame Jason's early bad deeds on Pit Madness, I would prefer if Jason at least is honest with himself and actually has to work on those impulses and the emotions that lay at the root of them. And I think even if they're clinging to blaming the Pit Madness to reconcile their own desire to have a relationship with Jason later, after he's calmed down some, most Batfam members know deep down that it's not just the Pit that made Jason who he is now. Especially Tim and Bruce, I think, would have plenty of incentive to insist on blaming the Pit but knowing better inside their own heads.

I would love if Jason never stopped being a Crime Lord, even if he works with the Bats now. I'm fascinated by his little Crime Alley empire, and the idea of the people there looking to him as a protector. I love Jason enforcing his Rules and using gang-related business as a front to help the people most in need. I love all of the prostitutes in the Alley considering Jason their pimp, who would loudly reject the idea if asked but he does check in with them regularly and makes sure they're all safe and clearly cares. I love the idea of the villain henchmen having clear opinions on working for Red Hood, to the point where Red Hood's hired guns are incredibly loyal to him (while those who disagree with him think he's crazy for trying to change the way crime works). I love the idea of Jason setting up shelters for homeless kids and addicts, making sure the families of his people are taken care of, maybe even giving away drug money to sponsor business start-ups or offering secret scholarships to the kids.

And I really like the idea of Tim somehow getting involved in Jason's crime empire and helping him with stuff Jason didn't even know he'd need, just randomly showing up and fixing tech or setting up charities. At some point all of Red Hood's men just greet Tim as if he's a part of their gang, so used to seeing him show up randomly. It's even funnier to me to imagine (Red) Robin being the only/first Bat allowed back into Crime Alley during reconciliation with the family, either in an AU that diverges during the Titan's Tower attack or as part of Jason trying to make amends with Tim (maybe after realizing Tim's a self-sacrificing idiot with terrible parents who needs more looking after than he gets?) Similarly, Red Hood showing up at WE's offices to "kidnap" or "threaten" CEO Drake-Wayne sounds hilarious to me, especially if it's a smokescreen for something else (like part of a case they're working, or Jason making sure Timmy gets enough sleep after a team-up).

Another thing I adore is Jason and Tim teaming up on cases or running into each other during undercover work. Especially if this happens while they still "hate" each other or think they do, with Red Hood crashing the meeting (Red) Robin is staking out or vice versa, or somehow or other giving themselves away when they run into each other with their bickering and then blaming the other. Working the same case from a different angle and then grudgingly piling intel together because destroying a human trafficking ring is (slightly) more important than their egos. Alternately, Tim going in with an undercover identity and wig as Hood's air-headed arm candy? (I'm partial to Alvin, Caroline, or Thea, but I'm open to you making up a new identity too.)

If you're going for enemies-to-brothers Jay & Tim, I'm more than happy with it ending before they get to acknowledging each other as brothers, as long as there's development towards reconciliation happening (and possibly out loud denying it but action speaking louder than words re: protectiveness and caretaking).

Smutty details

Notes on other characters

Prompts:

Titan Towers AU where something interrupts the fight and jerks Jason out of his Pit Mad-rage long enough to be confronted by what he's doing (beating up a teenager)
Shifter AU with pack dynamics! Jason's shifter recognizing Tim as pack despite his better judgment, Tim's shifter form being surprisingly tiny and adorable or more baby than it should be (due to abuse/lack of shifting/etc), Jason's shifter form having changed post-Lazarus Pit, Jason and Tim's shifter forms being the same or especially compatible, etc.
omegaverse with alpha!Jason and omega!Tim, especially if Jason is convinced Tim is an alpha, too, until he rips of the scent blockers and realizes the truth. Tim as the pack omega being the one who needs to invite Jason into the pack and being hesitant to do so post-Titan Towers attack but feeling pressured to because clearly his pack wants Jason back? Alternately, alpha!Jason finishing his "challenge" by biting Tim, accidentally creating a mating bond and the fall-out of that trauma
Red Hood saving (Red) Robin's & his team's asses during a Titans mission OR Tim interferring helpfully in some Outlaws mission. Bonus points if their respective teams are angry-confused and wary of the intrusion, but Tim shrugs it off (outwardly at least) and Jason accepts the help surprisingly easy after a lot of grumbling and swearing and shouting
JayTim going from hatefucking to in love but not telling each other because Oh No Emotional Vulnerability until a situation happens that forces them to confront their changed relationship
working a case together and being confronted with their assumptions of each other being skewed by perspective (Tim's former hero worship of Robin II and the glorification of Jason post-mortem, Jason's pit- and Talia-fuelled assumptions based on the surface facts of Rich Kid Tim Drake twisted by jealousy), realizing they have a lot more in common (especially their sense of humour. Love Tim being one of the few people who will encourage Jason's death jokes or share them with him)
stuck together: buried alive together under an exploded building or forced to hide during recon in a tiny closet and then getting locked in, or captured by bad guys and thrown into the same cell, or similar, being forced into close proximity while both their traumas are triggered (claustrophobia for Jason, Jason's Pit Rage reaction + being at his mercy while injured for Tim) leading to some form of revelations and reconciliation

crime lord!Red Hood buying (Red) Robin at an auction/being gifted (Red) Robin because everyone knows his vendetta against the bats. Alternately, Jack and/or Janet Drake selling their son off to the mafia/Red Hood because he's not the right kind of heir (especially in an omegaverse with omega!Tim, D/s au with sub!Tim, shifter au with prey!Tim, etc)

Granting You A Dreamlike Life

Fandom-specific DNWs: The spy plot towards the end of the series, please pretend none if it happened. Also, the (imo unearned) canon redemption of Xu Xingcheng, Hong dad, Lin dad, Duan Tianci, and Hong Family's 3iC
Requested Genres: AU - Canon Divergence, Fix-it fic, Mystery/Procedural, Slice of Life, Interpersonal Drama, Established Relationship, Action/Adventure, Hurt/Comfort
Requested Ships: Duan Tianying | Lin Ruomeng/Luo Fusheng, Duan Tianying | Lin Ruomeng & Hong Lan, Lin Qikai & Luo Fusheng & Xu Xingcheng, Hong Lan & Luo Fusheng

Prompts:

Canon divergence where Luo Fusheng stays the Hong family's top enforcer or returns to that position once Hong Lan becomes head of the family. How do Luo Fusheng and Tianying deal with the tension between his sense of duty and her sense of what is right and wrong? Can she learn to see the grey areas and recognize that LFS is trying to do the right thing in his own way? How do Tianying and Hong Lan handle being important to Luo Fusheng with their on-going rivalry? How does Lin Qikai handle feeling protective of his little sister, his crush on Hong Lan, and the tense situation between those two and his best friend and blood brother? How do all of them deal with the corrupt police being led by their former friend, Xu Xingcheng?
Hong Lan and Tianying growing from rivals to friendship (although I see Hong Lan as the bitchy, snippy friend while Tianying is tolerantly amused by her poisonous barbs because she's learned to see the truth behind them)
Hong Lan growing out of her crush and into her responsibilities of head of the Hong family, making alliances with the Lin family and learning to use her starlet reputation to obfuscate her family's dealings. Luo Fusheng being her 2iC and supporting her, unquestionably loyal, protecting her from usurpers and assassins
Tianying getting to use her martial arts skills to kick ass. Maybe she gets kidnapped as leverage against Luo Fusheng and/or the Hong family, some sort of plot trying to drive a wedge between LFS and Hong Lan (who is very public in her rivalry with Tianying). While LFS and Lin Qikai prepare to rescue her, she rescues herself by being clever and all her stage skills.

Duan Tianying/Luo Fusheng

Hong Lan & Luo Fusheng

Hong Lan & Duan Tianying

Luo Fusheng and his Brotherhood friendships with Lin Qikai & Xu Xingcheng

I love how mismatched the friendship between LFS and XXC is. Especially XXC's obliviousness to LFS’s unquestioning loyalty to his friends (including XXCI) and the tragedy of his accusations that LFS betrays him when the opposite is true: XXC always puts himself first, and LFS does everything in his power to put his loved ones first. I like how selfish and spoilt XXC is as an antagonist, and I would love for the narrative to highlight the contrast of their selfish vs selfless actions. Despite "competing" for Tianying's affection, LFS surrenders when Tianying chooses because he wants XXC to be happy (and if you go with the headcanon that they are ex-boyfriends or at least fooled around before, with LFS's heart maybe more in it than XXC... well. That hurts extra good, imo).

Meanwhile XXC insists on blaming LFS for the consequences of his own actions and "stealing" Tianying from him, when he drove Tianying off by stepping all over her boundaries and not respecting her. He never acknowledges all the sacrifices LFS makes for him (even helping him out to escape from Commissioner Xu who leads the corrupt police and could easily punish LFS for these infractions). He doesn't even *thank* LFS for all the risks he takes, to the point of taking those risks lightly. I will never forgive XXC for not going straight home after the doctor exams which LFS risked his neck for to get him there, instead running off to fool around and leaving LFS to face his dad's temper, then turning around and blaming LFS for getting caught.

And Lin Qikai does the same! He constantly blames the entire conflict on LFS, when it's XXC who is acting the spoilt brat and throwing a tantrum. Lin Qikai is supposed to be the eldest and wisest of these three sworn borthers, but noooo. I would love for him to apologize to LFS for putting the onus of saving their brotherhood and friendships all on him and acknowledge that it's XXC's obsessiveness that got them into these tensions. (A fact he funnily enough only acknowledges in canon when Tianying turns out to be his missing little sister, and it's suddenly not just "some girl" these two are fighting over - and suddenly Tianying's opinions carry weight. Like her insistence that she doesn't want nothing from XXC and is choosing LFS because she loves him. Ahem.)

LFS would probably forgive both of them way too easily because he also blames himself first, self-sacrificial idiot that he is *grumbles*

Pre-identity reveal (or pre-episode 20 where ZYL knows but SID doesn't), Shen Wei gets injured and has to rely on CSZ and/or CSZ and ZYL get stuck and have to work together to free themselves
CSZ getting confirmation Shen Wei is a Dixingren pre-HPS-reveal and feeling very conflicted about it

Casefic in which the SID comes together to protect one of their own (e.g. keeping an injured Professor Shen from being handed over to Haixing Labs, hiding CSZ from the Regent, standing up for Zhao Yunlan to another Haixing inspector a la episode 16/17, etc.) Would love if Lin Jing's and Chu Shuzhi's potential conflict in loyalties is adressed :D!
Casefic set at the university where the students try to protect their favourite professor and/or argue with each other if Shen Wei "did it". Either early in canon where Zhao Yunlan is suspicious of Shen Wei or later in canon/in a post-canon AU where they survived and ZYL knows Shen Wei is innocent

Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan & Zhu Hong

Shen Wei & Zhu Hong

I find their interactions endlessly fascinating. From the early episodes where Shen Wei takes something of a dismissive, provocative approach (the interrogation scene), testing Zhu Hong’s reactions and probing for her weak spots, to the whole snake hypnosis sub plot where he reflects her powers back at her but makes her forget – almost taking on something of a mentor role for her developing abilities. I would love something that explored those vibes more deeply, that had Shen Wei help Zhu Hong develop her special abilities and confidence.

Zhu Hong is also the one that accompanies Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan a lot during the blindness arc, from being the first to learn about the Heipaoshi reveal to being there to very vulnerable and intimate Weilan moments. And then later, she has that conversation with Shen Wei about true love (which… Shen Wei talking about not having experienced love is such a lie lol Zhu Hong should totally call his ass out).

I would also love anything with these two being able to become friends once Zhu Hong is officially rejected by Zhao Yunlan and trying to move on. Maybe she even ends up talking about her difficulties with that and her jealousy with Shen Wei of all people, both being very aware of the irony but somehow having fallen into these roles regardless.

Zhao Yunlan & Zhu Hong

I love how Zhu Hong’s crush on Zhao Yunlan is canonically unrequited. The way the show handles him letting her down gently, talking her up and complimenting her and making it a “him” issue why he won’t date her is imo well done. It’s realistic too imo that she didn’t give up earlier, despite seeing how clearly Zhao Yunlan was falling for Shen Wei, unwilling to let go of the dream of eventually catching Zhao Yunlan’s romantic attention. I would love to see these two work together during the crush or after the rejection, with lingering effects on their work relationship. In my head, Zhu Hong would try to move on and put on a strong face, but things would be awkward for a while until they find a new rhythm and come out of it with a stronger friendship by the end.

Shen Wei & SID Team

My favourites within the SID are Zhu Hong and Chu Shuzhi, I love their sass and competence (though I do love GCC’s adorkableness and optimism, too). Especially Zhu Hong's interactions with Lin Jing, Chu Shuzhi, and Wang Zheng fascinate me. Clearly, they like to tease and prank each other, and they seem to be close. Generally, I enjoy team as family and team-bonding, casefic, characters being competent, the team working together, the team being protective of each other, team members having a conflict and growing to understand each other better through adversity

What's their perspective on Zhao Yunlan's courtship of Professor Shen? The Heipaoshi reveal? Working as a team and having each other's back, possibly when the regent shows back up to pester Chu Shuzhi or another inspector pokes their nose in? Working with Professor Shen in an official capacity as consultant without Zhao Yunlan hovering?

Shen Wei & his students

I love the idea that Shen Wei is one of the favourite professors at DCU, and that his students, similar to Jiajia, are fiercely protective of him. I love stories in which they are distrustful of Zhao Yunlan because he looks disreputable and/or because he’s police that keeps poking around Professor Shen’s office when he’s clearly innocent. Is the government trying to frame him? How are they supposed to get through Genetics lectures if they vanish Professor Shen suddenly!? And I love how clearly Shen Wei cares for each student and tries to do his best by them, even if he has to always keep a facade around and pretend to be just a normal, average human. I would love anything where that charade is maintained, or even a reveal scenario where his students rally around Professor Shen to keep him on staff despite being a foreign diplomat.

Requested Ships: Nick Burkhardt/Sean Renard/Juliette Silverton, Rosalee Calvert & Juliette Silverton, Adalind Schade & Juliette Silverton, Elizabeth Lascelles & Catherine Schade & Henrietta, Character: Juliette Silverton

Prompts:

Juliette finding out about the Wesen world during the Seltenvogel case: I love how invested she was and how well she worked together with Nick to protect the Seltenvogel, even without being in the know. What if she followed him earlier? What if the Seltenvogel gave too much away for Nick to brush off? What if she saw something she shouldn't have and Nick is forced to tell her?
Canon AU in which Nick and Renard have/had a fling pre-canon, before Renard becomes Nick's boss. I would love for some Unresolved Emotional Tension between Renard's emotional unavailability due to trust issues and Nick trying to 'forget' about his crush, mutual pining, "it was just sex" but actually there were feelings involved denial. Maybe they agreed to end it when Renard was promoted to captain?
Any and all getting together romances, especially for Nick/Sean/Juliette as a triad after having had relations between the three in pairs. Working through their issues and learning to communicate and trust and working together as a power triad of Prince, Grimm and artificial Hexenbiest.
Casefic! I'm especially fascinated by the misunderstood predator Wesen types where everyone assumes they're the perp, when it's a supposedly harmless prey Wesen using them as a scapegoat, or Nick & co having to face their prejudices when it turns out the predator Wesen is dating the prey Wesen for entirely harmless, normal reasons instead of being an abusive asshole to them.
Casefic where Renard's hand is forced and Nick gets suspended (possibly for being suspected as the murderer in a vigilante style case?) and no one is happy about it and everyone works together to clear his name and save the day
Wesen politics and how the characters fit into it, especially Renard as Prince of Portland but also a bastard and Zauberbiest, Nick as the friendly Grimm not working for a Royal exactly (or is he?), the Blutbaden working for a Grimm, the Kehrseite-Schlich-Kennen (Hank) who is so involved with a world he can't see or know, Juliette as either the Grimm's Kehrseite girlfriend or the artificial and overpowered Hexenbiest, etc.
For OT3 in particular: I love plots where an Outsider mistakes a happy poly situation for cheating (catching Sean/Juliette or Nick/Renard at it) and then struggles with the dilemma of how to tell the third party about it :3
Renard teaching Juliette how to handle her Hexenbiest instincts and teaching Nick what is natural to a Hexen-/Zauberbiest, which leads to Nick facing some uncomfortable truths about his captain and assumptions, but also becoming curious and growing closer to him (and Juliette again). Juliette writing notes in Nick's Grimmoires or writing a guideline to How To Hexenbiest for future generations?
How do Hexenbiests learn and teach? Do they form covens? Henrietta and Elizabeth are known friends, and Catherine is an ally of Sean's but she's someone he slept with and not a friend of his mother - how do they think of each other? Is Catherine the youngest of the three older Hexenbiests, despite looking the oldest? Do more powerful Hexenbiests simply age more slowly?

Nick Burkhardt

I really like how Nick is a Good Guy with Morals, someone who takes the oath of protecting the innocent seriously and believes in the judicial process and justice of the system—and I love how all of it gets challenged by the existence of Wesen and how they can't always be prosecuted like normal criminals. Nick's development is fascinating as he tries to balance his morals against these new limitations, as he tries to be different than his ancestors. Sometimes he still slips up, lets himself be guided by assumptions and prejudice. He has the potential to go dark, especially when he stops thinking, when he's hurting, when it's personal. It's his connections, his friends who pull him back from that brink. Nick handles himself best when he's part of a team, yet he tends towards trying to lone wolf it again and again.

A tendency Juliette could really help with, if only he told her earlier. What does it take for Nick to tell Juliette? Monroe constantly reinforces the secret-keeping and his Aunt suggested he should break up with her, which he clearly doesn't want. But Juliette is right to reject him for said secret-keeping too when he proposes marriage. When he finally tells her, he's an emotional, incoherent mess, panicking because he knows Adalind did something, and tells her in the worst way possible—and then learns the wrong lesson from it and decides to keep it from her /again/.

Other then that, I live for the times a new Wesen realizes Nick is a Grimm, both when Nick leans into the intimidation factor to find out important clues or when Nick reassures the Wesen that he's Not Like That. The Eisbiber clan and their acceptance of Nick as an ally was one of the highlights of the early seasons for me.

Juliette Silverton

Sean Renard

Nick/Sean/Juliette

All of their dynamics are sooo good!

Nick and Juliette have a really solid relationship at the start of the show. Every moment of domesticity is a great moment - I love their banter, and how Juliette knows when she needs to push Nick, and that Nick tells her details like that a case is getting to him. Juliette is the most supportive girlfriend ever, and when she's doing research is some of the best moments. Like when she offers to look into Nick's parents' deaths for him, because Nick is too busy/emotionally compromised to do it himself. But she's also clever and curious in her own right, see how she takes the Big Foot's hair into the lab. Really, if Nick had told her then, things might've gone very different. She's not a push-over either, calling Nick out on his secret-keeping during his proposal and when she's amnesiac and Nick *still* isn't telling her the truth about Wesen. She knows her worth.

Juliette and Renard have incredible chemistry on screen. The entire obsession arc was such a highlight for me, the way they fought the compulsion and desire. I like to think that the attraction lingers after the curse is broken, too. And the fact that Juliette seeks Renard out for help when she's turned into a Hexenbiest is *chefs kiss*. I mean, she calls him Sean! This is so important to me, y'all *heart eyes*

Nick and Renard then have this interesting tension. Renard protects Nick as best as he can when he's still fumbling in the dark of this new world, trying to take care of Reapers and the like using police resources, but not warning him. At the same time, Renard is the one who put a hit out on Aunt Marie and who ordered Adalind to seduce Hank to get to Nick. They don't trust each other, not exactly, but they work great together regardless. Renard goes through a Whole Process to purify himself so he can wake up Juliette, just because he wants to keep Nick on his side, but he doesn't tell him until he's forced to. The confrontation at the cabin was amazing and summarizes a lot of this tension. I'd love to see them at this point where neither is quite sure what the other will do or having overcome this phase and having found a common ground they agree on, some sort of understanding between them.

The three of them create a fascinating triangle with those facets. It could work out well with Renard more willing to tell Juliette the answers she seeks and a calming, restraining presence on Nick's worse impulses (as long as Nick allows this). Adding Renard would smooth the issues of the Nick/Juliette relationship out to a point where they could communicate better; while what's keeping Juliette/Renard apart is the monogamy commitment between Nick/Juliette in early seasons (and a lot of preoccupation with the relevant plot in later seasons). For Nick/Renard to work, Nick needs to decide to trust Renard, and Renard needs to be able to trust Nick to be more vulnerable and honest with him - this is true regardless of Juliette's involvement, but I think Juliette would ease that tension for them.

Adalind & Juliette:

Crossover Fandom: Guardian x Grimm

Nick Burkhardt & Weilan: I think the parallels between Shen Wei and Nick as powerful but lonely figures in their communities who walk off the beaten path would be fun to explore, but also ZYL as the dutiful but rebellious cop and how that somewhat mirrors Nick's vigilante justice. I think these three would have a lot to talk about re: justice and duty and what is right vs wrong. Maybe Weilan can nudge Nick back on the right path after he starts losing sight of it slowly around season 3-4. Questions of morality and who deserves to be punished and how to deal with those that are not easy to capture and hold by the justice system feel natural for this exploration.

With Hexenbiest!Juliette, I could see Shen Wei being able to restrain her and help her find herself again as she's lashing out in pain, maybe even giving her a powerful opponent to lash out at to vent her anger until she breaks down. He'd offer her a way to put herself together again, but it's up to her to actual do the hard work required. Nick who is still freaking out about her transformation wouldn't be able to stay hands-off, he'd investigate Shen Wei and try to get Juliette back, while unable to accept that she has changed - I could very well see Zhao Yunlan taking him aside and scolding him for his prejudice and inability to see it's still Juliette even if she's different now (maybe relating to ZYL's early canon prejudice against Dixingren).

Prompts:

Professor Shen is invited to Portland as a dark energy biology expert to solve a case

the SID find dark energy readings in Portland and go to check it out

I've been really busy recently between work and family, so I didn't manage to post about this before creator reveals... but guys!!!! I got 3 (THREE!!!!) gifts in fandom5k!

Summary: Jane has always known she's uncool. So what's she supposed to do when the coolest person she's ever seen comes to Auradon Prep?

I never expected to get this rarepair! That alone made me really excited (I've been shipping this ever since I wrote them as a bit of a joke and then I tricked myself into actually shipping them, they're barely even on screen together during the movies at all, I love them Your Honor). And it's written with such lovely attention to detail! Especially Jane's character development as her relationships with her mother and her crush grow are fantastic. It's very high school first crush vibe, with all that wallflower insecurity on Jane's side and that stand-offish "I've been hurt by the world and I won't let it again" vibe from Uma, it's very Grumpy/Sunshine lesbians in that regard. If you haven't read it yet and you enjoy those tropes, check it out! It should be easy enough to read canon-blind, the references to canon events are lowkey and only important in that they demonstrate Jane's character arc (and her self-image issues).

Summary: "No," Juliette says again, "no," and then lashes out - wogeing, her Hexenbiest mien coming to the fore on instinct as her emotions surge. Her frustration and fury shake the house.

Shen Wei has planted his feet solidly, standing firm in the shaking. Most who aren't themselves Hexenbiests tend to find their woge both off-putting and frightening, and even those who don't know enough to be afraid have a visceral reaction. A living bog body, Elizabeth had said once, wryly, who wouldn't be frightened? But not this man.

This was such a fantastic crossover!

trobadora and I were chatting about how these two world might mix when we both went and nominated this, and I love how we both settled on the same relationship to focus on 😂 I love what she did with Henrietta's PoV and character, she's such a fascinating person in herself and so rarely in fics! And the worldbuilding of how the Guardian world influences how Wesen came to be is A++. Spoiler for season 4 of Grimm, but if you love Shen Wei being sciency and badass, you should check it out canon-blind, too!

Summary: He can recognise the signs of his own work, if he closes his eyes, he can still feel the chisel in his hands, the patterns his hand had moved in. But this is not the face these marks belong to. He didn't carve them into this person's skin.

Ngl, didn't expect to get this crossover, either! I was gushing about how these two canons might weave together in a discord

tinypinkmouse and I share, and I'm so happy she decided to give it a shot 🥰 It can easily be read canon-blind, and you should give it a shot if you like any sort of time travel or other time shenanigans! As you can see from the tags, all sorts of timey wimey nonsense happens in this fic, and it's so fun to see it develope and evolve :D

Links to Canon: Deja Vu MV (3:46 minutes) and Time Engraver 2019 (3:40 minutes) Time Engraver 2020 (6:28 minutes) commercials

All you need to know is that the Time Engraver character has at least a little bit of control over time, stopping it or winding it back to see what happened so he can then carve wrinkles and other signs of ageing into people's skin. And Deja Vu tells a (nonlinear? very open to interpretation) story of a Royal and her Servant who used to be close but then one of them betrays the other (or they both betray each other). The fun thing is that we see two separate betrayals, one in which Jiu is the princess/queen and is stabbed in the back by her loyal servant!Yoohyeon, and one where the roles are reversed. Tinypinkmouse picked up on the different ways to interpret what is happening in the MV and wove them all together into a single narrative that is fun to discover!

Zhu Hong dealing with her unrequited crush by focussing on work, training to kick ass (and totally not to impress Zhao Yunlan... or Shen Wei, he's her love rival, why would she want to impress him?)
Zhu Hong being forced to crash the Weilan relationship by outside forces (e.g. sex pollen via Yashou concoction or Dixingren power, some sort of curse, a Treaty subclause) aimed at either Shen Wei or ZYL, through much angst and Zhu Hong internally struggling with knowing she's the intruder and not a beloved partner, finding some triad arrangement which eventually turns into genuine three-way love
Affecting the time loop: Zhu Hong travelling with ZYL back to YOHE & Shen Wei knowing they're dating, not wanting to intrude but slowly joining them vs he meets them again in modern day and is surprised they're not together yet
Zhu Hong growing into her role as High Chief of the Yashou
Undercover fake dating casefic where Zhu Hong has to pretend to date either Shen Wei or ZYL (because the mark either knows ZYL so he can't go, or Shen Wei knows them so he has to introduce Zhu Hong as his girlfriend to avoid suspicion...)

Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan/Zhu Hong

I very much liked how canon handled Zhu Hong's one-sided crush on Zhao Yunlan. He was gentle and self-effacing, trying to buffer her feelings, especially her self-worth, despite the inevitable rejection. He clearly knew about her crush, but also tried to put her off, a hint she noticed but couldn't quite kill her hope that maybe some day they could be together. I find the personality switch episode especially enlightening re: Zhu Hong's character here because she starts chasing Zhao Yunlan actively, using cutesy names and acting like a cutesy female lead stereotype. It shows that Zhu Hong usually /isn't/ that. Despite her crush she's feisty, proud and hides her feelings.

Her rivalry yet understanding with Shen Wei is imo under explored, their conversation about love in the park, while primarily serving to highlight both their romantic feelings towards Zhao Yunlan, drew interesting parallels between their characters. In a lot of ways Shen Wei is the sort of gentleman Zhu Hong is supposed to fall in love with, but at his core he is similar to Zhao Yunlan, especially re: justice and duty and responsibility, once the outer layers of bad boy vs polite professor genteel are peeled away. And vice versa, I think Shen Wei would find several of Zhao Yunlan's more brash and reckless traits reflected in Zhu Hong.

Ideally, I would want this ship to develop with established Weilan and Zhu Hong hopelessly pining from the outside, until circumstances force them to re-evaluate. Whether Zhu Hong has to marry either Shen Wei or Zhao Yunlan for political reasons and thus destroy their HEA, or one (or both!) of them need to have sex with her due to extenuating circumstances, I would love for Zhu Hong to go through some homewrecker angst and feeling like an intruder in the relationship (until they grow to a point where she becomes a proper part of the threeway relationship).

For a fluffier take, I would also love the fake dating/married trope undercover during a case, where for some reason or another one of Weilan can't participate in the trickery (whether the target knows them or they have a different part to play...) Bonus points for an outsider to catch Weilan making out at some point and assuming they're cheating on poor Zhu Hong 👌 ideally the fake dating would lead to a realization that there's relationship potential between the three of them, with a promise to explore that in the future.

Prompts:

Canon divergence where Luo Fusheng stays the Hong family's top enforcer or returns to that position once Hong Lan becomes head of the family. How do Luo Fusheng and Tianying deal with the tension between his sense of duty and her sense of what is right and wrong? Can she learn to see the grey areas and recognize that LFS is trying to do the right thing in his own way? How do Tianying and Hong Lan handle being important to Luo Fusheng with their on-going rivalry? How does Lin Qikai handle feeling protective of his little sister, his crush on Hong Lan, and the tense situation between those two and his best friend and blood brother?
Tianying getting to use her martial arts skills to kick ass. Maybe she gets kidnapped as leverage against Luo Fusheng and/or the Hong family, some sort of plot trying to drive a wedge between LFS and Hong Lan (who is very public in her rivalry with Tianying). While LFS prepares to rescue her, she rescues herself by being clever and using all her stage skills.

Fandom-specific DNWs: Re sickfic: Mei Changsu spitting blood, fainting or getting a fever (with fever dreams or hallucinations) is fine as long as there's no vomit or incontinence involved

Mei Changsu/Xiao Jingyan

Mu Nihuang

Prompts

Canon AU or Divergence in which Mu Nihuang is officially wed to Xiao Jingyan. I could see this happening in a few different scenarios:
1. Emperor Dad decides this is the easiest way to get Mu Nihuang away from her army and stuck in the city, while simultaneously plotting to keep Jingyan away from the capital on eternal army missions to avoid the two of them colluding against him.
2. Mu Nihuang requests of Su Zhe to prove his capability by marrying her to Xiao Jingyan - if she has to marry she wants to marry the one man who will share her grief for Lin Shu. This is of course quite the difficult feat because the Emperor will fear the two of them colluding to avenge the Chiyan army, so Su Zhe will have to be very clever.
3. Consort Jing being involved in convincing the Emperor to marry these two: they are childhood friends and Mu Nihuang won't be put off by Jingyan's military bearing, but understanding. Perhaps implying that they are both rather blunt and bad at hiding their true feelings, so the Emperor won't have to worry about a clever wife advancing Jingyan's Chiyan case goals within court.
Early Identity Reveals: what if Xiao Jingyan finds out first; Xiao Jingyan, Mu Nihuang and Consort Jing all realizing on their first meeting with Su Zhe who he truly is and just humouring Mei Changsu in his belief he's keeping the secret perfectly hidden; Xiao Jingyan and Mu Nihuang collaborating to better hide Mei Changsu's true identity to keep him safe
Post-Canon Fix-It Outsider PoV making assumptions about Mei Changsu/Su Zhe being an advisor in Jingyan's court. I love rumours and wild gossip and seeing it contrasted with the truth!

Deja Vu by Dreamcatcher (MV)

Character Guide

Yoohyeon
Jiu
Sua - Siyeon - Dami
- Handong - Gahyeon

The two timelines: the one in which Jiu kills Yoohyeon

the one in which Yoohyeon kills Jiu

Prompts:

What if Yoohyeon and/or Jiu are stuck in a time loop, forced to kill the other or be killed until they find a way to break the cycle?
What if it's Jiu having the Deja Vu experience of having killed Yoohyeon and that's why she drops the sword during the second timeline?
What if the first timeline is all in Yoohyeon's head, nightmares and paranoia of secret hints of a conspiracy... What if Jiu's secretly planning to propose to Yoohyeon, and Yoohyeon only learns of it with Jiu's blood cooling on her hands?
What if these are two separate timelines with a role reversal? What happens if Jiu and Yoohyeon meet their alternate selves?
Something based on the lyrics: As long as I can breathe/I can’t let go of you again/We'll be together for every moment and/or Even if I bet all of me for you/And the painful wounds deepen/As though every moment is a dream/I won't move away from you — to me, these lines read as if one timeline happened, and the person remembering (Jiu? Is this why she drops the sword?) cannot go through the same again, clinging to the other no matter how much the other hurts the one who remembers
anything that emphasizes the unequal power dynamics would be great! Especially if the imagery involves the throne and/or kneeling, fealty feels, loyalty/betrayal, etc.
Jiu or Yoohyeon holding the other close as they die, despite being the one who killed them

link to canon - 4:03 minutes MV

Character backstory solo MVs: Yves (new), Chuu (Heart Attack), Go Won (One&Only), Olivia Hye (Egoist), plus their reunion in High Hi (short preview at 1:15 and then starting from 1:25 - the three girls surrounding/transporting Olivia are Jinsoul, Kim Lip and Choerry)

Character Guide

Yves: red skirt, dark-brown hair, the leader of the group, fruit: red apple, animal: swan

Chuu: yellow skirt, auburn hair, big smile, has a (platonic, canonically) crush on Yves, fruit: strawberry (despite the green apple in Heart Attack), animal: penguin

Go Won: blue skirt, blonde hair, friends with Yves and Chuu, fruit: pineapple, animal: emperor butterfly

Olivia Hye: green skirt, black hair, teacher's pet, fruit: blood plum, animal: wolf

Prompts:

anything that focuses on Chuu following/imitating Yves and her crush on Yves (like Chuu carrying a green apple because Yves eats a red apple)
contrasting Yves and Olivia side-by-side as equals/enemies, possibly with high-contrast opposite colours
Olivia as the outsider to the clique of Yves-Chuu-Go Won
Yves catching Olivia as she jumps in Hi High
What happened between Yves and Olivia? Why is Olivia the outsider, the lone wolf? Does Olivia reject Yves… or did Yves see something in Olivia that scared her? (feel free to involve the fan theory that Olivia caused Vivi (Yves' best friend/then girlfriend) to fall/die if you wish)
life at Eden’s boarding school and how the girls cope with the harsh rules—and how Yves is seduced by the life on the other side and seduces the other girls in turn to follow her
Chuu and/or Olivia pining after Yves, especially if she's dating the other girl and how they cope with that (I imagine Olivia would be darkly jealous and more of a cold-shoulder type while Chuu would try to cover the hurt with a smile?)

Castlevania (Cartoon)

Fandom-specific DNWs:
Requested Genres: AU - Canon Divergence, Canon-Style Plot, Fix-it fic, Interpersonal Drama, Established Relationship, Getting Together, Hurt/Comfort, Humor, Worldbuilding, Action/Adventure
Requested Ships: Alucard | Adrian Tepes/Trevor Belmont/Sypha Belnades, Alucard | Adrian Tepes & Trevor Belmont & Sypha Belnades

I really like the dynamic between these three, whether it's platonic or shippy. Their banter is fun, the way they tease each other and yet fall back in sync in battle, perfectly supporting each other and complimenting each other's fighting style is just gorgeous and gives me all the found family vibes.

As you can perhaps tell from my prompts, I have a fascination with how these three are perceived from the outside. Whether that's a random villager's perspective or someone who is supposed to be close to one of them, yet still isn't in on some crucial details (or learns them during the story) and the misunderstandings and mystery that arises from these circumstances are hilarious to me. Especially in the irony of a vampire and a vampire hunter being friends/lovers, and how outsiders would react to learning this with disbelief and shock :D

Alucard

Trevor

Sypha

Prompts:

Time or dimensional travel that puts an established Trephacard face to face with a Dracula who still loves his son. I love the comedy and irony of Alucard and a Belmont being in love, and Dracula being forced to grapple with that. Plus I love Alucard getting protective, stepping between his father and his lovers. Ideally with a side of Sypha and Trevor being just as protective of Alucard('s feelings) and calling Dracula out on his bullshit.
Similarly, time travelling!Trephacard running into Trevor's family in the past and having to hide that Alucard is a vampire (until he gets found out, then they're busy protecting him from knives and stakes and consecrated whips). Whether it's on the road where they share a camp or them stopping by the family home to warn them of the church's conspiracy to kill the Belmonts off
AU where Lisa doesn't die and Alucard meets Sypha and Trevor during his travels. Getting together with a side of vampire politics, human "pets" and how Trevor being a Belmont vampire hunter plays into those dynamics
AU where through future knowledge (Seekers?) the Belmonts get convinced they need to ally with Dracula for the survival of their family somehow (or maybe the survival of the human race by guaranteeing Dracula's family's safety?) and Trevor ends up Alucard's personal bodyguard turned lover.
Trephacard travelling together fighting demons and vampires, either on their way to Dracula's castle or post-season 2. Having to hide from noisy villagers that they are a vampire/Belmont/speaker, and never quite knowing which of these identities will spark the villagers' anger (or worship, which can be even worse).

Character Guide for Deja Vu

Yoohyeon
Jiu
Sua - Siyeon - Dami
- Handong - Gahyeon

The two timelines: the one in which Jiu kills Yoohyeon

the one in which Yoohyeon kills Jiu

I’m open to various interpretations! Is it a time loop? Parallel timelines? Visions of a future? Remembered memories of a past? Reincarnation?

What I primarily want from this crossover is time fuckery. Deja Vu has something going on with a time loop or parallel timelines or memories of different times, and the Time Engraver can stop and rewind time as part of his job of “engraving” scars and wrinkles and the like onto people. Maybe he can help Yoohyeon and Jiu solve their problems in an attempt to get their timeline “unstuck”?

Prompts:

The Time Engraver notices that something is wrong with the flow of time in Deja Vu world. Maybe the engravings he put on the people within keep vanishing, maybe they turn up with different engravings than he remembers putting on them. He starts paying closer attention and realizes the world is stuck in a time loop/two parallel timelines got twisted up and need untangling. To leave it be would be dangerous – so he starts messing with the Deja Vu plot to solve things.
The Time Engraver pulls Yoohyeon and/or Jiu into his workshop to work on them, but like Sunny | The Woman Who Doesn’t Smile (from the 2020 commercial) they are awake and aware or somewhat resistant to his magic. Maybe this is how the timeloop starts in Deja Vu – one or both of them learning time magic from the Engraver and trying to save the other from their fate.
Yoohyeon or Jiu manage to reach out to the Time Engraver (pray to a god and the prayer ends up reaching him instead?) and request his help saving Jiu/Yoohyeon, since everything they’ve tried in the time loop always leads to the death of one of them. Or Jiu tries to find help fighting off the darkness that possesses Yoohyeon, believing the darkness at fault for the tragic ending.

Crossover Fandom: Detective L x Guardian

Fandom-specific DNWs:
Requested Genres: Interpersonal Drama, Mystery/Procedural, Action/Adventure, Humor, Worldbuilding, Canon-Style Plot
Requested Ships: Luo Fei (Detective L) & Zhao Yunlan (Guardian TV)

I would love for Zhao Yunlan to somehow end up in Luo Fei's era (portal gone wrong? Some Dixingren trying to buy time by getting the SID chief out of the way? The Hallows having Ideas about what Zhao Yunlan should do next?), and Luo Fei catching wind of the 'mystery man' suddenly appearing in his city. Bonus points if he correctly identifies Zhao Yunlan as a time traveller but (almost) no one believes him. Maybe they go solve a case together, and Luo Fei is equal parts delighted and disgruntled at ZYL keeping up with him/making his own leaps of logic without explaining them. Win Xiaoman and Ben Jieming are highly amused by the irony before realising the chaos potential. Heipaoshi can come portalling in to grab his errant boyfriend by the end of the adventure and give them a new mystery of supernatural powers to mull over ;)

Crossover Fandom: Grimm x Guardian

Fandom-specific DNWs:
Requested Genres: Interpersonal Drama, Mystery/Procedural, Action/Adventure, Humor, Worldbuilding, Canon-Style Plot
Requested Ships: Sean Renard (Grimm) & Zhao Yunlan (Guardian TV), Juliette Silverton (Grimm TV) & Zhu Hong (Guardian TV), Nick Burkhardt (Grimm TV) & Zhao Yunlan (Guardian TV), Sean Renard (Grimm TV) & Shen Wei (Guardian TV), Shen Wei (Guardian TV) & Rosalee Calvert (Grimm), Shen Wei (Guardian TV) & Nick Burkhardt (Grimm), Shen Wei (Guardian TV) & Juliette Silverton (Grimm)

Worldbuilding/Group ideas:

I'd be interested in either dimensional travel or same world fusion style crossover for this one! If you go with the latter, I'd be interested in how the worldbuilding would mesh: are Wesen an evolution descended off of Dixingren? Long lost Yashou cousins? The result of ancient Haixingren hooking up with either Dixingren or Yashou? Different for different Wesen? Having Professor Shen as the biology expert on dark energy speculate on how it happened with the resident Portland experts (Renard and/or Rosalee?) would be great fun.

Or maybe the SID picks up on dark energy readings in Portland due to the growing population of Wesen in the neighbourhood or Juliette's transformation into a Hexenbiest and subsequent power spike or some other Wesen plot - so they go check it out and discover/learn about Wesen.

Alternately, if the Guardian characters end up in Wesen world via dimensional travel, I'd love for them to hide what they truly are with Nick or Renard picking up on some suspicious secrecy vibes. Maybe Zhao Yunlan even convinces them into thinking he's Kehrseite-Kennschlichen and tricking the Portland crew into spilling enough information for him to piece together there's a subculture of powered beings here, too. Bonus points for Shen Wei's powers being revealed and spooking Monroe/Renard/Rosalee who know it's not a normal type of Wesen while Nick/Juliette are just like "cool, what type are you?"

On the reverse, if one of the Grimm characters (or more) ended up in Dragon City, I'd love for the SID to trip over them and trying to figure out what their powers are. Would Shen Wei be able to learn them? Are Blutbaden and Fuchsbau closer to Yashou, while Grimm and Hexen-/Zauberbiest are more like Dixingren? Maybe the SID suspect them for a case at first (maybe the people who caused the rift between the worlds are actually at fault, which just means our faves are in the wrong place at the wrong time).

Character & Character thoughts:

Sean Renard & Weilan: I think these would be fun in the way they'd try to talk circles around each other - ZYL leaning on the cop connection, while Shen Wei is in an important political position for his people similar to Renard being a Prince. Would they bond over navigating difficult conversational waters, or would the distrust be too high? Does Renard remind Weilan of Zhao Xinci or the Regent with his cold calculation? Does Renard try to woo them as allies for his side? Especially if he sees how powerful Shen Wei truly is? Can he tell, with his Zauberbiest senses?

Nick Burkhardt & Weilan: I think the parallels between Shen Wei and Nick as powerful but lonely figures in their communities who walk off the beaten path would be fun to explore, but also ZYL as the dutiful but rebellious cop and how that somewhat mirrors Nick's vigilante justice. I think these three would have a lot to talk about re: justice and duty and what is right vs wrong. Maybe Weilan can nudge Nick back on the right path after he starts losing sight of it slowly around season 3-4. Questions of morality and who deserves to be punished and how to deal with those that are not easy to capture and hold by the justice system feel natural for this exploration.

Shen Wei & Rosalee would likely bond over wanting to help people and swapping medicine recipes and tips. I can see them hitting it off with him as Professor Shen, too, talking about anatomy and Wesen biology and dark energy concepts.

Meanwhile, I could see Shen Wei & Juliette bond over how much fun they have with research. On the other hand, if this is Hexenbiest!Juliette, I could see Shen Wei being able to restrain her and help her find herself again as she's lashing out in pain, maybe even giving her a powerful opponent to lash out at to vent her anger until she breaks down. He'd offer her a way to put herself together again, but it's up to her to actual do the hard work required. Would he be ready to put her down if she chose wrong? Or take her away where she can't hurt innocents? Maybe he picks her up at the bar where she loses it in season 4 before the police can.

Similarly, I can see Zhu Hong & Juliette bond over learning to control their awakening abilities and what it means to be amongst humans but not human yourself. I feel like Zhu Hong could teach Juliette how to accept herself, having just gone through that hard work herself, while Juliette could show Zhu Hong to be her own woman outside of crushes and men. Maybe they'd grab drinks complaining about how oblivious the men in their lives are and how it hurts to not be the right person for them.

Prompts:

Professor Shen is invited to Portland as a dark energy biology expert to solve a case
Wesen are offspring of YOHE Haixingren/Dixingren couples
the SID find dark energy readings in Portland and go to check it out
ZYL social-engineers the Grimm crew into spilling the beans on Wesen

Crossover Fandom: Grimm x Harry Potter

Fandom-specific DNWs:
Requested Genres: Interpersonal Drama, Mystery/Procedural, Action/Adventure, Humor, Worldbuilding, Canon-Style Plot
Requested Ships: Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) & Rosalee Calvert (Grimm TV), Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) & Juliette Silverton (Grimm TV), Monroe (Grimm TV) & Sirius Black (Harry Potter)

I'd be interested in either dimensional travel or same world fusion style crossover for this one!

Prompts:

Hermione comparing potions and ingredients with Rosalee in her apothecary, both of them trying to figure out why the other's work and how to adapt them for similar uses in their specialty (Wesen/witchcraft)
Hermione being mistaken for a Hexenbiest who has iron control over her Woge
Henrietta sending Hexenbiest!Juliette to Hermione for a last chance at a cure or learning control
in an AU where Juliette coped better with the transformation, she and Hermione compare their different understanding of witchcraft and come up with new spells from their shared research
Hermione is a friend of Rosalee's or Juliette's who gets dragged into Wesen plot by accident
Monroe and Sirius meet while Sirius is on the run/got dropped into Grimm world via Veil, recognise each other as canines and (after possibly a pissing contest because instincts?) bond over werewolf/Blutbaden friends and struggles to live vegetarian

Crossover Fandom: Guardian x GYADL

Weilan end up in Minguo era and get seperated - ZYL immediately finds trouble in the mob-ruled streets. Does LFS save him? Does ZYL impress him trying to sweet-talk his way out of trouble?
ZYL joking that Shen Wei clearly had a secret love child in between him and Kunlun when he meets LFS
LFS ends up bloody and injured in Dragon City's streets. ZYL finds him and brings him to a hospital/home (if LFS is awake enough to refuse a hospital for being tracked down reasons. Maybe ZYL assumes he's Dixingren?)

Descendants (Disney Movies)

Fandom-specific DNWs: focus on anything that happens in the 3rd movie (mentions are fine, pretending it never happened is also great)
Requested Genres: Canon-Style Plot, AU - Canon Divergence, Action/Adventure, Interpersonal Drama, Character Development, Getting Together, Established Relationship, Slice of Life, Fluff, Humor, Hurt/Comfort, Worldbuilding, Smut
Requested Ships: Jane/Uma, Jane & Gil & Harry Hook & Uma, Jane & Any Villain Kids, Jane & Carlos de Vil

Character Guide

Left: Uma, daughter of Ursula (The Little Mermaid) - Right: Jane, daughter of the Fairy Godmother (Cinderella, in the Descendants-verse she's the headmistress of Auradon High)

Prompts:

Jane appearing like a soft and easy target to any of the VKs, who try to trick her into doing stuff for them/unfair trades. Ideally ends with VKs realizing Jane really *is* just that kind and that's not as harshly punished in Auradon than on the Isle, with maybe a side of "maybe it should be cherished and protected?", while Jane learns to stand up for herself
any of the other characters finding out that bad girl!Uma is dating goodie-two-shoes!wallflower!Jane
Uma asking Jane out and Jane assuming it's on a dare/a pity date/a prank, but still saying yes
Jane drunkenly confessing her crush to Carlos and swearing him to secrecy the next morning
Uma assuming Jane keeps staring at her because she's gawking at the Sea Witch's daughter/scared of her/trying to keep an eye on her because surely she'll do something awful soon and confronting her about it, only to be taken aback by a flustered Jane blushing and asking her out
Jane and Uma going to prom together with their very contrasting fashion styles (Jane all in high-neck, long-sleeved pastel blue dress barely showing skin? Uma with a more punk-rock pleather aesthetic? But feel free to ignore me and go wild!)
Jane being assigned as the Auradon guide/mentor for Uma (possibly also Harry and Gil) and having to deal with their boundary pushing, trying to see what it takes for her to retaliate (with Jane learning to set boundaries and the VKs being impressed when she finally does draw the line)
AU where Jane (pre DD1 or in between DD1 and DD2) gets stuck on the Isle and has to survive (by joining Uma's pirates?)

Jane/Uma

Jane & Uma & Harry & Gil

I have so many Jane & Uma & Gil & Harry friendship feels - I want them to adopt the mousy lil wallflower! She'd work as a great addition to the group, in an almost similar function as Gil does (he's such a golden retriever puppy, ready to play attack dog when necessary, but generally good-natured and so, so loyal) and Jane would add a moral center to the group :D

Like, Harry's such a smug lil bastard boy, and he loves playing up the unhinged angle to keep his enemies and allies alike on the back foot. He's someone who pushes and pushes and doesn't take no for an answer. He takes, and takes, and that's such a terrible combination with Jane! Because Jane is a people-pleaser and a giver and so easily taken advantage of? There's no way Harry would respect her at first, not with that first impression. She's a push-over, and if Harry's interested in anything about her, it's to see just how far she'll let him push (which, imo, would be pretty far and until she reaches her breaking point, probably). The thing is, Harry doesn't care about a lot of people - his family to some degree, but which of these kids doesn't have parent issues?, Uma, Gil, and what Uma wants. In that sense, Harry is the hardest for Jane to win over: if Jane is what Uma wants, Harry will fold her into their little group, but that doesn't mean he has to like her. I do think though that with time these two could grow to understand each other, if they get to a point where Harry stops distrusting Jane (the last of these three VKs to do so, imo) and starts opening up. Probably after Jane opened up about a lot of things. In the meantime, however, he's going to be snide and mock her and prod at her boundaries to see if he can make her lash out (and be delighted if he actually manages to push her over that line!)

Gil is the easiest to win over, since he's a very easy-going sunshine boy. He's like a puppy who is happy to play with anyone who wants to play, and I think he would take to Jane immediately. He's not dumb or oblivious exactly (you can't be, growing up on the Isle) but he's happy to live in the moment? He doesn't have to worry about Jane attacking him since she's physically weaker and her magical status is unknown, but she doesn't use it regardless, so he knows he can fight her off if he has to. That allows him to relax, and he's probably the first to trust in her kindness and general sincerity. Besides, he has Uma and Harry to worry about others faking niceness, so he can have fun befriending Jane in the meantime. And I think Jane would find him good company to be around, once she realizes he's not like the other jocks she knows? He's no Chad Charming, and despite his impressive and intimidating physique, he's the least dangerous of this VKs trio. He's the least likely to hurt her emotionally, too.

And Uma... well. She needs to assert herself as the leader, and Jane wouldn't challenge that, which is a plus point in Uma's book. But Uma would probably be a bit manipulative and push at Jane's boundary to see what makes her tick (very similar to Harry in that way, but with a slightly different vibe?) Like all the VKs, she carries her own trauma from the Isle and its way of survival, and for Uma this is expressed in a need to be on top of everyone else and in control, to ensure her own freedom. She doesn't like being dependant on others, and I don't think she would trust Jane's kindness to be genuine (too used to seeing it as a trap or a trade). There's a lot of parallels between Uma and Mal, they're narrative mirrors, and I think some of Uma's early interactions with Jane would go similar to how Mal's went in DD1. But I also think Jane could challenge Uma in a way that is non-threatening and still forces Uma to face the consequences of her own behaviour. Possibly Uma would be so focussed on figuring out what Jane's hidden motive is that she doesn't realize they've gotten close and things have gotten real between them (and then Uma panics and backpedals and hurts Jane in the process, which is even worse because now Uma feels guilty and that's something she *shouldn't* feel, she's a villain ffs, she doesn't do guilt. But now she went and tricked herself into caring for this baffling girl, and well. Once Uma gets over herself, there's no one that can stop her from taking what she wants.

Jane & Carlos

I love Jane and Carlos' friendship, but I just don't see them as romantic. I love the idea that they tried dating to "fit in" with what society expects of them, but were both awkward about it and it took them a long while to break up because they were both scared to ruin their friendship. But when they did, they were so relieved! And I want them to encourage each other to chase their respective gay crushes (in my head, Jay and Uma). I think they both are very similar in their character type, in that they are shy and easily slip into the background of any friend group. They're both afraid to rock the boat and lose their friendships if they don't go with the flow, but have to learn to stand up for themselves and their opinions.

Background ships: I personally ship Jay/Carlos and Ben/Mal/Evie, with Uma & Harry & Gil being an inseparable trio and Jane & Carlos being gay besties

Granting You A Dreamlike Life

Prompts:

Canon divergence where Luo Fusheng stays the Hong family's top enforcer or returns to that position once Hong Lan becomes head of the family. How do Luo Fusheng and Tianying deal with the tension between his sense of duty and her sense of what is right and wrong? Can she learn to see the grey areas and recognize that LFS is trying to do the right thing in his own way? How do Tianying and Hong Lan handle being important to Luo Fusheng with their on-going rivalry? How does Lin Qikai handle feeling protective of his little sister, his crush on Hong Lan, and the tense situation between those two and his best friend and blood brother? How do all of them deal with the corrupt police being led by their former friend, Xu Xingcheng?
Hong Lan and Tianying growing from rivals to friendship (although I see Hong Lan as the bitchy, snippy friend while Tianying is tolerantly amused by her poisonous barbs because she's learned to see the truth behind them)
Hong Lan growing out of her crush and into her responsibilities of head of the Hong family, making alliances with the Lin family and learning to use her starlet reputation to obfuscate her family's dealings.

Tianying getting to use her martial arts skills to kick ass. Maybe she gets kidnapped as leverage against Luo Fusheng and/or the Hong family, some sort of plot trying to drive a wedge between LFS and Hong Lan (who is very public in her rivalry with Tianying).

Grimm (TV)

Prompts:

Juliette finding out about the Wesen world during the Seltenvogel case: I love how invested she was and how well she worked together with Nick to protect the Seltenvogel, even without being in the know. What if she followed him earlier? What if the Seltenvogel gave too much away for Nick to brush off? What if she saw something she shouldn't have and Nick is forced to tell her?
Canon AU in which Nick and Renard have/had a fling pre-canon, before Renard becomes Nick's boss. I would love for some Unresolved Emotional Tension between Renard's emotional unavailability due to trust issues and Nick trying to 'forget' about his crush, mutual pining, "it was just sex" but actually there were feelings involved denial. Maybe they agreed to end it when Renard was promoted to captain?
Any and all getting together romances, especially for Nick/Sean/Juliette as a triad after having had relations between the three in pairs. Working through their issues and learning to communicate and trust and working together as a power triad of Prince, Grimm and artificial Hexenbiest.
Casefic! I'm especially fascinated by the misunderstood predator Wesen types where everyone assumes they're the perp, when it's a supposedly harmless prey Wesen using them as a scapegoat, or Nick & co having to face their prejudices when it turns out the predator Wesen is dating the prey Wesen for entirely harmless, normal reasons instead of being an abusive asshole to them.
Casefic where Renard's hand is forced and Nick gets suspended (possibly for being suspected as the murderer in a vigilante style case?) and no one is happy about it and everyone works together to clear his name and save the day
Wesen politics and how the characters fit into it, especially Renard as Prince of Portland but also a bastard and Zauberbiest, Nick as the friendly Grimm not working for a Royal exactly (or is he?), the Blutbaden working for a Grimm, the Kehrseite-Schlich-Kennen (Hank) who is so involved with a world he can't see or know, Juliette as either the Grimm's Kehrseite girlfriend or the artificial and overpowered Hexenbiest, etc.
For OT3 in particular: I love plots where an Outsider mistakes a happy poly situation for cheating (catching Sean/Juliette or Nick/Renard at it) and then struggles with the dilemma of how to tell the third party about it :3
Renard teaching Juliette how to handle her Hexenbiest instincts and teaching Nick what is natural to a Hexen-/Zauberbiest, which leads to Nick facing some uncomfortable truths about his captain and assumptions, but also becoming curious and growing closer to him (and Juliette again). Juliette writing notes in Nick's Grimmoires or writing a guideline to How To Hexenbiest for future generations?
How do Hexenbiests learn and teach? Do they form covens? Henrietta and Elizabeth are known friends, and Catherine is an ally of Sean's but she's someone he slept with and not a friend of his mother - how do they think of each other? Is Catherine the youngest of the three older Hexenbiests, despite looking the oldest? Do more powerful Hexenbiests simply age more slowly?

Nick Burkhardt

I really like how Nick is a Good Guy with Morals, someone who takes the oath of protecting the innocent seriously and believes in the judicial process and justice of the system—and I love how all of it gets challenged by the existence of Wesen and how they can't always be prosecuted like normal criminals. Nick's development is fascinating as he tries to balance his morals against these new limitations, as he tries to be different than his ancestors. Sometimes he still slips up, lets himself be guided by assumptions and prejudice. He has the potential to go dark, especially when he stops thinking, when he's hurting, when it's personal. It's his connections, his friends who pull him back from that brink. Nick handles himself best when he's part of a team, yet he tends towards trying to lone wolf it again and again.

A tendency Juliette could really help with, if only he told her earlier. What does it take for Nick to tell Juliette? Monroe constantly reinforces the secret-keeping and his Aunt suggested he should break up with her, which he clearly doesn't want. But Juliette is right to reject him for said secret-keeping too when he proposes marriage. When he finally tells her, he's an emotional, incoherent mess, panicking because he knows Adalind did something, and tells her in the worst way possible—and then learns the wrong lesson from it and decides to keep it from her /again/.

Other then that, I live for the times a new Wesen realizes Nick is a Grimm, both when Nick leans into the intimidation factor to find out important clues or when Nick reassures the Wesen that he's Not Like That. The Eisbiber clan and their acceptance of Nick as an ally was one of the highlights of the early seasons for me.

Juliette Silverton

Sean Renard

Nick/Sean/Juliette

All of their dynamics are sooo good!

Nick and Juliette have a really solid relationship at the start of the show. Every moment of domesticity is a great moment - I love their banter, and how Juliette knows when she needs to push Nick, and that Nick tells her details like that a case is getting to him. Juliette is the most supportive girlfriend ever, and when she's doing research is some of the best moments. Like when she offers to look into Nick's parents' deaths for him, because Nick is too busy/emotionally compromised to do it himself. But she's also clever and curious in her own right, see how she takes the Big Foot's hair into the lab. Really, if Nick had told her then, things might've gone very different. She's not a push-over either, calling Nick out on his secret-keeping during his proposal and when she's amnesiac and Nick *still* isn't telling her the truth about Wesen. She knows her worth.

Juliette and Renard have incredible chemistry on screen. The entire obsession arc was such a highlight for me, the way they fought the compulsion and desire. I like to think that the attraction lingers after the curse is broken, too. And the fact that Juliette seeks Renard out for help when she's turned into a Hexenbiest is *chefs kiss*. I mean, she calls him Sean! This is so important to me, y'all *heart eyes*

Nick and Renard then have this interesting tension. Renard protects Nick as best as he can when he's still fumbling in the dark of this new world, trying to take care of Reapers and the like using police resources, but not warning him. At the same time, Renard is the one who put a hit out on Aunt Marie and who ordered Adalind to seduce Hank to get to Nick. They don't trust each other, not exactly, but they work great together regardless. Renard goes through a Whole Process to purify himself so he can wake up Juliette, just because he wants to keep Nick on his side, but he doesn't tell him until he's forced to. The confrontation at the cabin was amazing and summarizes a lot of this tension. I'd love to see them at this point where neither is quite sure what the other will do or having overcome this phase and having found a common ground they agree on, some sort of understanding between them.

The three of them create a fascinating triangle with those facets. It could work out well with Renard more willing to tell Juliette the answers she seeks and a calming, restraining presence on Nick's worse impulses (as long as Nick allows this). Adding Renard would smooth the issues of the Nick/Juliette relationship out to a point where they could communicate better; while what's keeping Juliette/Renard apart is the monogamy commitment between Nick/Juliette in early seasons (and a lot of preoccupation with the relevant plot in later seasons). For Nick/Renard to work, Nick needs to decide to trust Renard, and Renard needs to be able to trust Nick to be more vulnerable and honest with him - this is true regardless of Juliette's involvement, but I think Juliette would ease that tension for them.

Adalind & Juliette:

Elisabeth Lascelles & Catherine Schade & Henrietta

I love the idea of Hexenbiest Covens! Any worldbuilding in that regard wouzbe great.

That said, I've gotten the impression that while Catherine is the youngest of these three (and used to sleep with Renard?) she's also the least powerful. I would love an exploration how power relates to the lack of aging with Elisabeth and Henrietta: do they have to go through regular rituals? Just age slower? What's the prize they pay for beauty?

Henrietta and Elisabeth are friends, and Henrietta helped Elisabeth and Sean flee the Royals. How did that come about? What happened during that time? Did Henrietta send Catherine to live in Portland nearby to support Sean and keep an eye on him?

Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan/Zhu Hong

Shen Wei & Zhu Hong

Zhao Yunlan & Zhu Hong

Character: Zhu Hong

Within the SID, Zhu Hong takes on a big sister role, bossing people around and keeping Lin Hong on task. Simultaneously, she clearly enjoys pranking Lin Jing and has casual banter with all members. I find her dynamic with each of them fascinating, but in particular how she interacts with Lin Jing and Xiao Guo (outside of Weilan, who are always faves). There's definitely a sibling undercurrent in how she teases Lin Jing, while with Xiao Guo it's more a mix of bossy older sister and an assumed master/apprentice role (an interesting contrast to the mentor role Chu Shuzhi takes on).

I'm also fascinated by how Zhu Hong insists in episode 3 that she's a secretary, not a field agent, yet we see her display pretty damn good martial arts at least twice on screen (e.g. when she's mind controlled). Seeing as she's more than happy to play bait in episode 4, it's not because she's afraid of danger. I love stories that explore Zhu Hong taking a more active role during cases.

By the end of canon, Zhu Hong ends up in the position of High Chief, something she didn’t want an was imo pushed into by circumstances and Zhao Yunlan. I do believe she wants to do well in her new role, but she’s not exactly trained for this. Character conflicts with the other tribe leaders, learning how to navigate and negotiate the various interests – especially with Ya Qing being a former enemy and Fourth Uncle being her literal uncle – would be fascinating to me. Zhu Hong has to do a lot of work to earn their respect! How does she handle having to give up her position at the SID and seeing her friends less? While being thrown into this political turmoil at a divisive and improtant time?

Weilan & Da Qing

I love Da Qing being part of Weilan's family unit. With these three, I like anything from domestic fluff, slice of life, Da Qing as their cat, Da Qing raised Zhao Yunlan, Da Qing and ZYL’s sibling-esque bond, the complexity and simplicity of their relationship, being protective of each other, Shen Wei and Da Qing coming to an understanding, to Da Qing remembering some of his past with Shen Wei. Lately I’ve been really into Da Qing feeling the need to talk to Shen Wei about what exactly his place in the family is.

Summary: When an Endezeichen Grimm comes to Portland, Nick has to face some uncomfortable truths about his own feelings.

Digging his nails into his palms wasn't nearly enough distraction. "I said, don't."

But Juliette wasn't done.

"What I’m doing with Sean, that isn’t about you and me," she insisted, and Nick whirled around to glare at her.

"You're fucking my boss. But sure, it's got nothing to do with me."

In between the deadline and with the generous help of my beta, I managed to add several scenes and rewrite the ending. Part of how I accomplished that was by promising myself I'd get to post the outtakes - which I figured, here is as good a place as any ;)

Earlier Ending Outtake

Noises in the hallway alerted Juliette to her incoming visitor. Tossing the third splinter she’d broken aside, she moved up to the door and picked up the chain’s anchor, getting ready to bash Jake’s head in. The door opened slowly, and Juliette tensed, then swung around with all her might—only to be met by air.
Jake was a tall guy, so she’d aimed high, hoping to do some serious damage to his nose or jaw. Instead, the figure ducking into her cell was slight and feminine.

“Jesus!” Rosalee gasped, eyes wide on the massive piece of chain that missed her head by an inch. Then she shook herself and turned to Juliette, dropping any questions she might have in favour of focussing on the situation at hand. “Are you alright?”

“Well, aside from this ball and chain,” Juliette joked, tossing her head to get her hair over her shoulder without having to let go of said chain. “Never been better.”

“Right.” Rosalee’s gaze zeroed in on the manacle, and she knelt down next to Juliette. “You’ve made some lockpicks I see.”

“I hate sitting around doing nothing.” Juliette shrugged, holding her ankle out for Rosalee’s inspection. “Not that it did me much good. I’ve got no experience with picking locks.”

“I do,” Rosalee said, throwing her a quick grin before grabbing a new splinter and setting to work. “Part of my misspent youth. Did I ever tell you about my last ex before Monroe?”

“Don’t think you did.” Juliette watched as Rosalee swiftly unlocked the manacle as if by magic. “You should teach me how to do this.”

“Sure,” Rosalee agreed, setting the manacle down. Juliette rotated her ankle, trying to get her blood flowing properly. “Once all of this has died down, you should come by the spice shop.”

Juliette hesitated. She remembered the last time she’d gone, how she’d unexpectedly run into Nick. She had avoided going since. “You’re sure?”

“You’re my friend, Juliette,” Rosalee asserted stubbornly, her expression filled with determination. “You’re always welcome at my shop.”

But not her home, Juliette couldn’t help but notice. So Monroe was still feeling a bit… sensitive, about recent developments. Understandable, she supposed, even if it left her feeling a bit raw at the implied rejection.

Gunfire from further in the building tore her from her thoughts. Rosalee Woged, ears pinning back.

“We should leave,” she urged, sticking her head out into the hallway. She gestured down the hall, where a heavy door stood open by a foot. “While Monroe and the others are distracting the Endezeichen Grimm.”

Juliette tilted her head. On the one hand, sneaking out the backdoor seemed sensible. On the other, she still owed Jake for her headache and the hours stuck in this cold cell. More gunshots echoed through the halls, and Juliette turned into the opposite direction.

“Juliette! Don’t,” Rosalee hissed, soft footsteps following her.

“No. I’ve had enough of men trying to control me.” She bared her teeth. “This Endezeichen bastard thinks he can mess with me? Think again.”

***

It turned out she’d been kept in the basement of an office building. Juliette wondered how Jake had gotten access, then pushed that thought away as unimportant. She stalked up the stairs, a nervous Rosalee on her heels, to find the ground floor an open office plan with dozens of cubicles. The overhead lights illuminated everything, eliminating the option to sneak up on the Endezeichen Grimm. Well, good. Juliette wasn’t in the mood for sneaking.

Movement caught her eye. There was Nick, ducking in and out of cubicles as he made his way towards her. On the opposite side of the office, she caught a glimpse of Monroe doing the same. Wu and Hank were stationed at the entrance door, cutting off the Endezeichen Grimm’s escape; that only left the basement for him to go. Briefly, she wondered where Sean was at, it was unlike him to miss the action. But then, perhaps he was simply better at staying out of sight.

“It’s over, Otis!” Hank called out, taking cover behind a partition. Just in time, as Otis—Jake? The Endezeichen Grimm—shot his gun again, once, twice, three times in rapid succession. His clip must be emptied, Juliette noted clinically, because she saw him duck around the corner ahead of her, crouching as he swiftly changed magazines.

He hadn’t noticed her.

Nick, however, caught sight of her as he moved to the next cubicle. His eyes went wide and he swerved, changing his path from going after Jake in favour of coming to her aid—aid that she had no need of. Abandoning caution in favour of speed, Nick left himself open in the path of the Endezeichen Grimm… and that, Jake did notice.

Everything slowed down. The Endezeichen Grimm raised his gun, aiming at Nick’s exposed back. Juliette could feel her heart beat with the rhythm of time passing, a double staccato for every second. The Endezeichen Grimm pulled the trigger, the bullet shooting out from the barrel with a loud bang!

At the same time, Juliette screamed, "NO!"

Juliette wailed her heart out, fuelled by desperation. No, no, no! She couldn't lose Nick, not like this, not with all the things hanging unresolved between them. She would not, could not confess everything left unsaid at Nick's grave. She refused.

Power exploded outwards from her, the air distorting from the energy. Juliette could feel it, every molecule floating around her, like ants under her skin. A twist of her fingers, and their path shifted.

More importantly, she could feel the bullet.

Eyes flashing black, she forced the bullet to stop before it could reach Nick.

"He's mine," she snarled, voice rough and distorted as it always was when she Woged. Juliette got to her feet, stalking forward until she stood in front of Nick, shielding his body with her own. "Don't you dare touch him.”

The Endezeichen Grimm stumbled backwards, eyes wide with fear.

"You, you— you're a Hexenbiest," Jake stuttered, gaze darting between her and Nick. "B-but. You… he…"

Hexenbiests and Grimms are natural enemies. Everyone told her that, over and over and over. Juliette had never cared less.

"What, afraid?" She sneered and twisted her fingers, feeling her power pulse.

Jake shook his head, scrambling for a weapon. He lifted his gun, but Juliette waved her hand and it flew right out of his hand to clatter down the stairs. Stalking forward, she raised her hand as if she were choking someone, and Jake rose into the air, feet kicking uselessly beneath him. For the first time in weeks, Juliette felt in control.

“This,” she snarled, pushing her hand forward and banging a struggling Jake against the wall, forcing him to hit his head like he’d hit hers, “is for kidnapping me.” Then, she tightened her grasp, watching as he fought for breath without success. “And this is for going after Nick.”

Jake gurgled, his movement slowing. However, Juliette refused to let go, stringing her power tighter around his throat. His hands dropped, his feet stilled, and still she couldn’t let go. It wasn’t until Monroe shook her shoulder, red eyes wide with fear, that she felt her power slipping out of her grasp. Jake’s body crumpled to the floor like a ragdoll.

Monroe swallowed under her intent gaze. “It’s over, Juliette. He’s dead.”

“Is he?” she heard herself ask, her voice dull and distant. Wu stepped forward, gun first, to crouch down at the unconscious body. Only once he gave a thumbs up did she dare to take a shaky breath, stumbling back a step. Monroe and Rosalee caught her, and Juliette allowed them to hold her up for one long heartbeat. Then she pushed herself upright again.

Just because it was over didn’t mean there wasn’t work left to do.

She turned towards Nick, meeting his wide, blue eyes. Swallowing her pride, she suggested, “We should talk.”

“We should,” he agreed, mouth quirking up at the corner, hesitant but real. “You, I, and Renard.”

That surprised her, but she supposed it shouldn’t. Sean was an integral part of the Hexenbiest side of her life, it made sense that Nick would want to include him… if he was finally starting to accept this new aspect of her life to be permanent.

Tears springing to her eyes, Juliette managed to press out a breathy agreement, clutching Nick’s hand.

As you can see, this is a less bloody or involved ending. I needed a good cut-off point in case I didn't have time to write more. I always intended to write the ending fight to be more "epic" (and bloody), with the intention of getting Nick hurt, to make Juliette's outburst of protective rage make more sense. And I also just really liked the idea of Nick leaving that place in an ambulance when Juliette had been the kidnapping victim and he the rescuer, a quick little role reversal to emphasize who the dangerous one is in this relationship (spoiler: both. it's both, but Juliette flew under the radar, so :D)

I'm glad I found the time to flesh the ending out and add more scenes (like Renard's little ritual! That was one of the last scenes I added because I could work around it, but I had to lead up to it satisfactorily first).

All in all, I had a lot of fun and am pretty proud of what I managed to produce! ^^ Thanks for signing up with me,

trobadora, and for (re)watching Grimm with me!

Current Music: I need a Grimm icon... hmmm...

I found a couple things I really enjoyed in the

fffx collection, so I thought I'd share!

I turned around and saw the sky., a Hinata/Sasuke Naruto AU fic set in the Edo period, in which Sasuke survives the Uchiha massacre and arrives on Hinata's doorstep with amnesia. Fantastic exploration of both characters, their relationship and the worldbuilding.

Hostage; War-Prize; Consort; Spouse, an Original Work M/M with a Northern Shan conqueror/disabled Second Prince of Jiang. Amazing worldbuilding and misunderstandings built into translations between their languages, while still keeping the characters clever and valued.

The Curious Incident at Oakwell, a M/M Bully/Nerd Original Work fic with an interesting relationship development. The bullying happens primarily on social media andd makes the high school setting feel modern, and the best friend character is my absolute fave.

Of the dead and the living, an Original Work comic in which a human/ghost couple finally get to touch via use of a medium's body

Convergent Evolution, an Origina Work comic about a female scientist studying a gigantic, spooky, deep-sea mermaid. Left me shivering reading it!

Have you found any fun gems in the collection? I'm open for recs!

Dancing

Dance class has been really fun! We're probably performing as part of a dance show in 2-ish months, and I signed up to be part of the group (it's voluntary). We've recently done the pre-chorus and first chorus of Zerobaseone's "In Bloom" (starting with the ground part where the lyrics go "cha~ange"), and we're now practicing Twice's "One Spark" the last chorus + bridge + dance break. The performance will likely consist of a mix-up of these two choreos, possibly a third, and I'm excited! Those are two very fun dances and I've been so eager I started practicing at home again 😂💖

I'm pretty sure I know who my writer was *hearts* and I'm just as convinced that who I wrote for is an open secret, but I'll let y'all in on it in two weeks at author reveals 😉

I'm going to take a break from exchanges (at least until or unless Guardian Reverse Exchange happens) and focus on some of my languishing WIPs. Definitely gonna try and finish In This, As In All Things, finish and post the Weilan Vampire AU sequel, as well as some Grimm, Castlevania and GYADL fic I have lying around 👀 and get back to work on the Weilan Arranged Marriage AU 😂 been working on that for over 3 years now, it's about time I get to it!

So, I used to dabble with making (bad, gif-based) fanvids back when I was a teen with the pre-installed Windows Movie Maker. It was fun! And I want to get back into it. There are so many song bits I want to set to some of my favourite characters, sequences in my head that I want to share...

But I don't really know where to start.

Does anyone have recommendations for (ideally free, so I can dabble and see if this is still fun) a decent video editing software? I vaguely recall being recommended Lightworks back when I was part of a tiny youtube channel, does anyone have experience with that one? Is it still a good idea for fanvids editing?

Personal Life
I've been really busy with work! I meant to update this blog a lot over the last two weeks, but something always came up. But things finally are starting to slow down, so hopefully, I'll be around more <3

Also, on a personal note, I visited my baby niece and she is the cutest baby eVAH. I may have caught baby fever. Looking into potentially signing up for dating apps or similar to get my love life started up again - I work in a women-dominated field and the town I live in is unlikely to provide me with someone of the right age range/same goals for life.

I showed my parents 开端 | Reset, which I'd watched with my brother before - they loved it! Gonna finally write up that review I promised over a year ago soon.

Exchange Scene

FFFX
I'm hard at work editing and rewriting bits of my

fffx assignment, and it's starting to come together as a better version than what I originally submitted at deadline. Fingers crossed I'll get the rewrites done before Saturday! My beta's been very helpful in clarifying some things I needed to rethink and is very generous with the tight schedule we now have. If I sign up again, I'm going to do less other exchanges surrounding this one so I can actually get a decent chunk of fic done in November.

So it was really awesome to dip my fingers back into that canon and see what I could come up with. Time travel is always a favourite trope of mine, but I went with the version canon gives us.

Rare Femslash Exchange
Just 4ish hours ago,

rarefemslashexchange revealed! I'm very excited to dive into my gift (possibly tonight, depending on how work allows - I'm on night shift today). Someone tackled a rare canon for me!
