Dear Chocolate Box Writer
Hi, thanks for writing for me! I hope this letter is useful. Some of my requests might be longer than others, but I really want everything I'm asking for.
Likes: Hurt/comfort, sickfic (especially vomiting), fluff, humour, romance, happy endings, friendship, family relationships, first time, established relationship, pre-relationship/pre-slash, gay/bi characters, friendships between gay/bi men and gay/bi women, coming out stories, reunions, mission/case fic, fake dating, huddling for warmth, bed sharing, cuddling, kissing, handholding, holiday fic, meeting the family, post-canon fic, canon-divergent AUs and fix-it fic, telepathy/empathy, cultural differences, time travel
Dislikes/DNWs: Non con, character bashing, major character death, asexual/aromantic/nonbinary headcanons, poly/open relationships/infidelity, homophobic violence and slurs, characters being paralysed/unable to move, unrequested non-canon pairings, break up of requested pairings, real-world politics/current events, setting AUs, Valentine's Day, first and second POV, explicit sex
Fandoms:
The Simpsons (Lisa/Juliet)
Juliet only appears in one episode (Lisa the Drama Queen), but I loved the relationship between her and Lisa. They seemed to connect so well, in a way that's pretty rare for Lisa, and I like how smart and imaginative they both are. I'd love to see more of that relationship, especially if it involves them meeting again in the future.
Prompts:
Fandom specific DNWs: Romance above a G-rating (handholding, cheek kisses, etc) while they're at their canon ages (but aged up to teenagers is fine!), Lisa and/or Juliet being judged for being "weird" or imaginative.
St Clare's Series (Alison/OFC)
Okay, so I reread these books recently, and my main takeaway was that Alison is totally a lesbian. I don't know what Enid Blyton was going for, but her obsessions with other girls/female teachers did not strike me as 100% platonic and heterosexual. So I'd love to see a fic where she realises this, preferably by finding a nice girl/woman who appreciates her interest in fashion and doesn't think of her as an airhead.
Prompts:
Note: References to canon-era homophobia are fine (e.g. having to be careful in public, pretending to be friends who live together rather than a couple), but I'd prefer they not be the focus.
Star Trek Discovery (Pike/Ash)
I really like this pairing, and always want more fic for it. I love how Pike is such a genuinely good person, and how Ash is clearly damaged but still trying to do the right thing, even if he isn't always sure what that is. I also really love how the catalyst for them going from disliking and distrusting each other to basically friends is fighting a robotic squid from the future, and the potential bond formed by them being two of the only people left behind at the end. I'd love something set after Season 2 with Pike back on the Enterprise and Ash working on rebuilding Section 31, but almost anything about them would make me happy.
Prompts:
Note: While I've DNW'd noncon, mentions of Ash's canon trauma are fine. Also, brief mentions of paralysis or Pike/Vina are okay if you're writing one of the fix-it prompts, but please don't focus on it.
Fandom specific DNWs: References to Pike's fate in TOS or his knowledge of same (unless you're writing a fix-it), the Star Trek future being sexist/homophobic/racist/ableist, Pike/Vina.
Star Trek TNG (Riker/Troi)
Their relationship is one of my favourite parts of the show. I love how they clearly love each other and have fun together, even when they're not dating. For this fandom I'd really like something set during the series/movie era, rather than the older versions we see in Picard.
Prompts:
Fandom specific DNWs: The Star Trek future being sexist/homophobic/racist/ableist, Lwaxana Troi in a major role.
What's It Gonna Be - Shura (Music Video) (Shura/Sarah, Nick/Brad)
Video here
I really like this video, and if it was a full-length film I would see it in a heartbeat. I love how it starts out with the brother and sister pining after their het crushes and ends with them realising they'd rather have each other's crushes instead. If you want to try and write the full-length version of this I would be thrilled, but even a snippet would be great.
Prompts:
Thanks again!

Prompts:
- Lisa ends up going to the same high school/college as Juliet and they reconnect.
- The last person Lisa expected to see at summer camp was Juliet.
- A moment between them before everything went wrong.
- AU - What if their attempt at running away together had been (more) successful? Where do they go? What do they do?
- AU - Getting their book published leads to reconciliation.
Fandom specific DNWs: Romance above a G-rating (handholding, cheek kisses, etc) while they're at their canon ages (but aged up to teenagers is fine!), Lisa and/or Juliet being judged for being "weird" or imaginative.

So I'd love to see a fic where she realises this, preferably by finding a nice girl/woman who appreciates her interest in fashion and doesn't think of her as an airhead.
Prompts:
- Alison meets a very interesting woman at her new job.
- Alison realises her previous obsessions were actually crushes and has to come to terms with it.
- The twins visit Alison and her "friend" and come to a realisation.
- Domestic fluff.
- Alison makes a career in fashion, OFC helps/supports her.
Note: References to canon-era homophobia are fine (e.g. having to be careful in public, pretending to be friends who live together rather than a couple), but I'd prefer they not be the focus.

I'd love something set after Season 2 with Pike back on the Enterprise and Ash working on rebuilding Section 31, but almost anything about them would make me happy.
Prompts:
- Not all of the meetings between the head of Section 31 and the captain of the Enterprise are purely professional.
- One of them gets sick/injured on/before shore leave together, but they manage to make it work.
- Undercover on a mission together.
- Stranded on a planet together and trying to survive.
- Domestic fluff, either on shore leave or in the future.
- Ash has a nightmare/flashback, Pike offers comfort.
- AU - Ash brings Voq and L'Rell's son with him to Discovery instead of leaving him on Boreth. Turns out Pike is good with kids, even Klingon ones.
- Ash uses his Section 31 powers to heal Pike or otherwise save him from his fate. (I'm fine with him still being injured or disabled in some ways, just as long as he can move and communicate and have a relatively normal life.)
- Ash teams up with Number One, Boyce, etc to rescue Pike from Talos post-The Menagerie.
- Any other kind of Pike-based fix-it, seriously I'm desperate.
Note: While I've DNW'd noncon, mentions of Ash's canon trauma are fine. Also, brief mentions of paralysis or Pike/Vina are okay if you're writing one of the fix-it prompts, but please don't focus on it.

Prompts:
- Shore leave. Where do they go? What do they do?
- Having fun in the holodeck.
- Poker games with Data and the others.
- Anything about their history together before they started working on the Enterprise.
- How do Troi's empathic abilities affect their relationship?
- One of them gets ill/injured and the other offers comfort.
Fandom specific DNWs: The Star Trek future being sexist/homophobic/racist/ableist, Lwaxana Troi in a major role.
What's It Gonna Be - Shura (Music Video) (Shura/Sarah, Nick/Brad)
Video here
I really like this video, and if it was a full-length film I would see it in a heartbeat. I love how it starts out with the brother and sister pining after their het crushes and ends with them realising they'd rather have each other's crushes instead. If you want to try and write the full-length version of this I would be thrilled, but even a snippet would be great.
Prompts:
- Shura and Nick plan out their campaign.
- Shura realises she's actually into Sarah and not Brad and/or Nick realises he's actually into Brad and not Sarah.
- Shura and Nick confess their new crushes to each other and come up with a new plan.
- How does the rest of the school react to a nerdy girl dating a cheerleader, or a nerdy boy dating a jock?
- Double dates, or the four of them hanging out together.
- What do Brad and/or Sarah think of it all?
Thanks again!
