Dear Chocolatier,

If you wandered onto this page before I finished it—sorry! I was a bit behind this year. Hopefully this is more to your liking now.

Per the usual, you'll see some suggestions from me about each of the requested relationships. You do not have to follow them! If you get a brainstorm about something else, go for it! I'd love the surprise.

The majority of my requests are gen fic, so I don't really think the DNWs are particularly necessary, but they're here for thoroughness anyway.

Thanks for much, and happy writing!

DNWs: Gratuitous violence; gratuitous profanity (I don't mind swearing, just don't use it to cover lazy dialogue); vomiting, graphic sex (unless hot sexy times were requested, PG-13 level please); infidelity/cheating; abuse; dubcon/noncon; BDSM; incest; self-harm or suicide; mpreg; torture; crack!fic without a purpose.

Things I like: fluff, angst, snappy dialogue; first time tropes; getting stuck together; missing scenes; "after the end" scenes; flirting; strong friendships; antics, a little bit of chaos; humor; role reversals (and the characters being uncomfortable with it); unusual friend pairings (two people who aren't normally one-on-one together); slice-of-life moments.

Fandom #1: Schitt's Creek
Art &/or Fic: Fic
Relationship(s):
Johnny Rose & Patrick Brewer
David Rose/Patrick Brewer & Stevie Budd
David Rose/Patrick Brewer

Johnny Rose & Patrick Brewer: I love the chemistry between Johnny and Patrick on their sports-watching day. I'd love to see more from that day (maybe the car ride to pick up David and Moira?), or another day after that. During or after the show, whatever suits you!

David Rose/Patrick Brewer & Stevie Budd: These are beautiful, balancing relationships. Whether it's just David and Patrick, or with Stevie, I just love how they play off of each other and complement each other. I'm up for anything, but post-show, maybe when David and Patrick are getting settled into the house, sounds really fun.

Fandom #2: Bridgerton (TV)
Art &/or Fic: Fic
Relationship(s):
Colin Bridgerton/Penelope Featherington
Benedict Bridgerton/Sophie Beckett
Benedict Bridgerton/OMC

For all of these, give me something that show hasn't shown us yet. Tease some Colin and Penelope for me; what does that look like in the show, already knowing what we know about Penelope's identity. And Benedict! What do you think he has in store? Will he still be enchanted by Sophie? Will she be slightly different, given the increased diversity in the show? Or, is Sophie abandoned for an OMC, given what we saw of Benedict in Season One? The TV world has some wonderful differences from the books, and I'd love to see where you think we might be going.

Fandom #3: M*A*S*H
Art &/or Fic: Fic
Relationship(s):
Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce & Sidney Freedman
Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce & B. J. Hunnicutt
Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce & B.J. Hunnicutt & Charles Emerson Winchester III

Antics. Chaos. Banter. Serious war commentary if you're so inclined. And don't feel the need to stick only to these characters. You're welcome to pull in any member of the 4077. Some ideas: Hawkeye and BJ are in charge when a bug out is called; Honoria visits the 4077th; Sidney writes another Dear Sigmund letter; Hawkeye visits Mill Valley after the war; BJ visits Crabapple Cove after the war; the camp runs out of potatoes; the camp is held hostage, mistaken for a covert operation.

Fandom #4: Crossover Fandom(s)
Art &/or Fic: Fic
Relationship(s):
Enola Holmes (Enola Holmes 2020) & Lily Houghton (Jungle Cruise 2021)
Ezra Bridger (Rebels) & Leia Organa (SW Original Trilogy) & Luke Skywalker (SW Original Trilogy)
Padme Amidala (Star Wars Prequel Trilogy) & Jaina Solo (Star Wars Legends)
Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) & Nathan Drake (Uncharted) and Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones)
Kat Bishop (Heist Society - Ally Carter) & Kate Bishop (Hawkeye (TV 2021)
James Bond (Daniel Craig James Bond movies) & Maria Hill (MCU)
Grogu | Baby Yoda (The Mandalorian) & Anakin Skywalker (SWPT) & Obi-Wan Kenobi (SWPT)
Leia Organa (Star Wars Original Trilogy) & Padmé Amidala (Star Wars Prequel Trilogy)

These run the gamut. Let me tell you why these appealed to me and let you jump off from there.

Enola Holmes (Enola Holmes 2020) & Lily Houghton (Jungle Cruise 2021): I only watched Jungle Cruise recently, but Enola I've known for a while, long before the movie. These are two headstrong women making their way through a man's world in London. I think they'd be friends and that they'd understand each other very well. Bonus: if you want to suspend belief even further and throw Evie Carnahan-O'Connell into the mix, you won't hear a complaint from me.

Ezra Bridger (Rebels) & Leia Organa (SW Original Trilogy) & Luke Skywalker (SW Original Trilogy): If/when Ezra is rescued, he's gonna have questions. And Luke in particular is going to get a wealth of Jedi knowledge from Ezra. I would expect some pulling of the heartstrings on this one.

Padme Amidala (Star Wars Prequel Trilogy) & Jaina Solo (Star Wars Legends): Jaina's the character I miss most from the Legends stories. I think she and her grandmother would have a lot in common. This could be some kind of Force vision, or if you want to invent some form of time travel, I say go for it.

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) & Nathan Drake (Uncharted) and Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones): There they are, in the middle of some jungle, and all three of them are after the same artifact. That would be awkward and uncomfortable and doesn't work in any timeline whatsoever but I don't care. It would be fun.

Kat Bishop (Heist Society - Ally Carter) & Kate Bishop (Hawkeye (TV 2021): The entire time I was watching Hawkeye I couldn't pinpoint why Kate Bishop's character sounded familiar to me, and then—duh, Heist Society. Of course! Kat is my favorite of Ally Carter's heroines. Make her steal something and have Kate try and stop her. It would be a delight. Bonus points for Hale content.

James Bond (Daniel Craig James Bond movies) & Maria Hill (MCU): I want a moment where Bond realizes Shield is real (he had always assumed it was a myth) and Maria kicks his butt. It would be great. Bonus points for Judi Dench's M.

Grogu | Baby Yoda (The Mandalorian) & Anakin Skywalker (SWPT) & Obi-Wan Kenobi (SWPT): Listen, Grogu was a handful during the Clone Wars, too. Maybe Obi-Wan and Anakin have to take their turn with the younglings and Grogu causes trouble. Or, maybe he has a vision of Anakin's fate and that's why he was able to escape the siege of the temple.

Leia Organa (Star Wars Original Trilogy) & Padmé Amidala (Star Wars Prequel Trilogy): I'm not looking for time travel here. I think some kind of Force vision could be interesting, but I'd almost rather Leia and/or Luke figures out who their mother is and Leia tracks down old holos of her. Maybe they are holos of Padmé on the Senate floor, or as Queen, or dining with Bail and Breha on Alderaan. Let her discover her mother through the remnants of the past.

Fandom #5: DC's Arrowverse
Art &/or Fic: Fic
Relationship(s):
Lois Lane & Natalie Irons
Clark Kent/Lois Lane
Clark Kent/Lois Lane & Jonathan Kent & Jordan Kent

Gosh, I love the dynamics of this show and what it does to push Lois and Clark's relationship forward. Ugh, love. I either want mushy Lois and Clark, fun family time, or awkwardness with Natalie. Just—guh. I love this show so much I can't even come up with a good prompt for you, sorry.

Fandom #6: Titans (2018)
Art &/or Fic: Fic
Relationship(s):
Barbara Gordon/Dick Grayson

I've shipped Barbara and Dick a long time, but their dynamic in Titans this last season was *chef's kiss*. I'd love to see more of their early relationship, maybe as they're developing their Bat identities. Or maybe some angst and what brought their relationship to an end. Or maybe something around the time of the Killing Joke and the emotional toll that took on them both. Or maybe something during Season Three, a quiet moment left out of the show. So many great options for these two.

Fandom #7: Stargate
Art &/or Fic: Fic
Relationship(s):
Cameron Mitchell & Daniel Jackson & Jack O'Neill & Samantha "Sam" Carter & Teal'c & Vala Mal Doran
John Sheppard & Rodney McKay & Ronon Dex & Teyla Emmagan
Janet Fraiser & Samantha "Sam" Carter

I love moments where the teams are just being themselves between missions. And honestly, I wouldn't mind if you mix and matched teams. I always loved Atlantis episodes where someone from SG-1 was around. It could even be post-Atlantis, the team back on Earth and looking for new assignments. If you go SG-1, I prefer the original team to the later team. Just—quiet moments with the characters being themselves. It's one of the things I've always loved about Stargate. Oh, and will-they/won't-they content with Sam and Jack is always welcome.
