FFFX 2022 Creator Letter
Aug. 5th, 2022 11:23 pmHello, author! I am so excited that you received one (or more) of my prompts, and I can’t wait to see whatever you come up with!
Before anything else, I want to be clear that all of the following likes, preferences, and prompts are solely to help guide you if you’re looking for some direction. As long as you stay away from the DNWs, I am totally happy to read anything you come up with for me. If you read my prompts and think, uh-oh, that’s not the direction I wanted to go — not a problem, go your own direction! Some of the best gifts I’ve ever received are scenarios I never would have thought of myself, so please get as creative as you want.
OK, that out of the way, I’ve listed some general likes and preferences below, followed by more specific likes and prompts for each request. Some of the items below may be in direct conflict with each other, and that’s just because my interests and likes are broad and wide-ranging. You could never use all of this in a single fic, and I wouldn’t expect anyone to try!

Jeeves & Wooster
Pairing: Reginald Jeeves/Bertie Wooster
I adore Jeeves & Wooster. They’re a perfect partnership — Jeeves, the valet with a stiff upper lip who beneath it all would do absolutely anything for the Young Master, and Wooster who would completely fall apart without Jeeves around to look after him. I’d absolutely love to get a fic about these two. If you wanted to have them together in a Wodehousian adventure, complete with aunts and fiancees and Drones Club members, that would be fantastic. Or just send them off on a road trip together, just the two of them. Maybe they have to stay somewhere that only has one bed!
What I would love to see more than anything is their relationship blossoming into something more than just valet/master, and how that might come about, but there are a thousand ways you could do that and I would love pretty much any of them.
Specific DNW for this request: Dubcon.
The Langoliers
Pairings: Nick Hopewell/Laurel Stevenson
This request is for the Stephen King novella “The Langoliers,” which was in his collection Four Past Midnight. In this novella, passengers on an airliner somehow go through a rift and end up in a place out of time. The details around how this happened and what ensues are fantastical and horrifying (because it’s Stephen King) but the crucial part for this request is that two of the characters develop a burgeoning relationship during the events of the story.
Nick Hopewell initially claims to be a mechanic for the British Embassy, and Laurel Stevenson is a fifth-grade teacher. It later turns out that Nick is secretly a special agent for the British Army. He’s cold and hard and extremely capable, but he softens for Laurel; and Laurel starts out sweet and kind and very overwhelmed by the events of the story, but shows true steel when pressed.
I would love more than anything for you to give these two a happy ending. It could be a complete AU. It could be within the canon story but with a different ending. It could be pre-canon if you want to go that route. Go wild with your creativity, I just want a (reasonably) happy ending!
Pairing: James Hook/Wendy Darling
This is one of the first pairings I ever shipped, before I even knew what shipping was! I love the age and power difference — Hook obviously has the upper hand (pun intended), although there are also possibilities for him to be so enthralled with Wendy that the power shifts in her direction. In terms of scenario, this could happen in Neverland, or back in the real world. It could also happen contemporaneous with the events of the book, or it could take place later on, with Wendy a grown woman. I’d also be entirely happy with AUs of these characters. My only request is that if you set it in the time of the books, please age Wendy up a little bit. I think she’s canonically 12-13, but (per my DNWs) I would rather only see fic with postpubescent characters, so in the 15-16 range would be better.
Pairing: James Bond/Q
I love this pairing more than is sane or reasonable. Pretty much anything you do with it will be great, and I will so vastly appreciate it. I have been on board for this ship ever since their first meeting in front of The Fighting Temeraire, when Bond tells Q all he sees is a “bloody big ship.” There’s a ridiculous amount of chemistry between them in that scene, and I was off and running!
I love scenarios where one or both of them is pining for the other, I love hurt/comfort between them (with an emphasis on the comfort!), and I love references to their size difference. I’m not sure about the actors in real life, but certainly in the films, Bond is portrayed as athletic and big, and Q is more willowy.
Pretty much any of the usual tropes for this pairing are totally a-ok with me. Bond breaking into Q’s flat: great! Q eavesdropping on Bond all the time via technology: equally great! Q has cats: sure! Bond and Q flirt incessantly over the comms: yes please! (that one’s actually canon, IMO.) I just want to see the relationship between these two and how it develops.
I have not seen No Time to Die, FYI, although I’m okay if you want to incorporate it and spoil it as I’m not worried about spoilers. (Also more than okay if you want to ignore it, of course.)
Star Trek: The Original Series
Pairing: Leonard “Bones” McCoy/Spock
I love the dynamic between these two characters—the constant sniping and barbs, underlaid with real affection. I also dig when Spock tries to pretend that he’s not having any emotions at all about McCoy while unleashing acid sarcasm at him all the time. For this pairing, I really like scenarios involving banter (angry or otherwise), hurt/comfort, McCoy mending Spock’s injuries, mutual pining, or being trapped together somewhere. Pon farr scenarios are also very welcome.
I’m happy to get fic of these two from either TOS or the Alternate Original Series canon as well. Basically I’m not canon-picky about what versions of Bones or Spock you use.
As an additional note, if you choose to go E-rated with this (which would be extremely welcome, please feel free to use whatever headcanon you like for Vulcan anatomy. I’m totally fine with xeno characteristics if you want to get weird. (Also totally fine with normal human-style anatomy too, of course.)
DNWs for this prompt: Dubcon, or other pairings with the main two characters (i.e. please no Uhura/Spock, Bones/Kirk, etc.)
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Pairing: Jean-Luc Picard/Q
John de Lancie’s portrayal of Q was probably a formative part of my sexual awakening. Watching him strut around the bridge of the Enterprise, taunting and draping himself all over Picard, and watching Picard try and fail over and over again not to get sucked into his schemes…I love every second of it.
I’d love to see an exploration of the “I hate you but I’m drawn to you” dynamic between these two. Q is clearly obsessed with humanity in general, but with Picard very specifically, and you get the sense that Picard is preening with the attention.
Some ideas for prompts if you’re looking for inspiration: maybe playing with Q’s ability to stop time could be fun. Or Q kidnaps Picard away from the ship and takes him off to be his plaything for a while. Maybe Q loses his Q-powers and Picard has to deal with him (which has actually happened in canon, but of course feel free to go your own way with it; in fact, please do, because I did not love that episode). Really, any exploration of the prickly, fraught, but seemingly obsessive relationship these two have with each other would be absolutely fantastic.
Pairing: Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Love Peter and Stiles. This ship has everything: age gap, power dynamics, sarcasm, and werewolves. Pretty much anything you write for them will be totally fine for me. I am here for any and all scenarios, up to and including AUs (bodyguard AU and teacher/student AU seem like particularly good fits, but again, I'll read anything).
Pairing: Wealthy teen/his elite male bodyguard
First off, if you already have an idea in your head of what you want to do with these prompts, please go with that! (Avoiding my DNWs, of course.) The rest of these prompts are only if you're looking for inspiration.
OK, so: I've always been completely weak for bodyguard scenarios (canonical or otherwise; I'm always up for a good bodyguard AU). I love the power imbalance, and I think there are a lot of possibilities with this particular scenario (wealthy teen/elite bodyguard).
Maybe the teen chafes against the protection and is always causing trouble or trying to run away. There are hurt/comfort opportunities -- what if the bodyguard is hurt in the line of duty and the teen feels guilty or protective? Or the teen might get hurt, and the bodyguard realizes his feelings in that moment.
I love so many of the tropes around this pairing - the teen being sassy and mouthy, and the bodyguard rolling his eyes but secretly enjoying it. The teen and the bodyguard starting from an antagonistic hate-hate relationship but developing respect and admiration for each other over time. People mistaking the bodyguard for the teen's boyfriend, and the bodyguard smirking and leaning into it (or vice versa!). The bodyguard watching the teen go out on dates and seething with jealousy. There are a zillion different things you could do here - and if you don't care for any of the above options, go your own way! I am telling you that this scenario is bulletproof for me. You cannot go wrong.
Thank you, author, for participating and for choosing one of my prompts! I can’t wait to see whatever you come up with!
