Dear Candy Hearts Author
Dear Candy Hearts Author,
Hello and thank you for writing something for me! I really hope you enjoy writing these characters we both love!
My theme this year is OT3s (and Dasey, because I am incapable of seeing them nominated for an exchange and not requesting them) and the important thing to know is that I want all the members of the OT3 to love each other equally. They can love each other differently, but I would truly hate if one of the characters (especially the woman) was neglected or downplayed. I want equal investment in all three members and their relationships to each other!
However, I am sure that won't be an issue if you signed up to write for these particular OT3s! For all the OT3s, I would be particularly interested in either getting together fic or something that grapples with "how does this relationship work in practice?" but please do feel free to follow your muse wherever it leads you.
The prompts are here purely for your convenience and to get the plot bunnies stirring. If none of them appeal to you, it's fine to go in a different direction.
For the shippy requests, it is totally fine to include sexual content as long as it's not just porn without plot. Porn rooted in plot or in characterization is my preference if you want to write porn at all. But porn is by no means necessary--I will happily read any rating.
In all cases, I am fine with you including any additional characters from the canon so long as the focus is on one or more of the requested characters.
I love canon divergence, but please no AUs that change the setting--I don't want to read stuff set in high school or coffee shops or with superheroes or whatever.
DNWS: PWP, character-bashing, infidelity, "onscreen" rape/non-con (dubcon of the shag-or-die/sex pollen or we're-forced-to-have-sex-due-to-circumstances are okay if it's between mentioned ships), AUs that change the setting (no high schools, coffee shops, or superheroes, please!), unmitigated fluff (some fluff is fine, but please temper it with other things), humiliation, broad humor, OOC, baby fic (meaning fic that focuses on the ship having/adopting a child. Incidental children are fine). For porn, I like dom/sub dynamics, but other than that, I'm not really into kinky stuff.
General likes: angst, especially if it ends happily; hurt/comfort; mutual pining; in character characters; complicated relationships between women; good worldbuilding; outsider povs; location/setting as character; good people trying to do the right thing; bad people trying to do the right thing; found families; total devotion/us against the world dynamics.
Fandom tropes I'm into: arranged marriages, soulbonds of whatever kind, post-apocalyptic stuff (as long as it's within the overall canon), forced proximity, enemies to lovers, amnesia fic.
Fandom: Arthurian Mythology
Pairings: Guinevere/Lancelot du Lac/Arthur Pendragon (Arthurian)
Thoughts: The A plot of the Arthurian legends is "none of this would have happened if OT3." I am really not picky about this fandom so long as everyone loves everyone else. I would be happy with pre-everyone-gets-together-pining-with-the-implication-that-they-will-get-together, getting together fic or established relationship.
Some themes that are always fun to explore: how does this affect (or not affect!) their roles as royals and leaders? How secret does it need to be? Who has guilt that needs to be dealt with? How do they get to the point where they all recognize that they love each other instead one or more of them thinking they're the only one in love with more than one person?
Fandom: Benjamin January Mysteries - Barbara Hambly
Pairings: Benjamin January/Rose Vitrac January/Hannibal Sefton
Thoughts: How do Ben and Rose decide to make room in their marriage for Hannibal? How do they convince him that he's not intruding but very wanted? Does Ben have feelings about being bi (either bisexual or biromantic or both?)? Does Hannibal help raise the kids?
I think there's also a lot of room for "Hannibal is our boyfriend but we don't have sex with him" where he's off doing his own thing as far as sex goes but always comes home to Ben and Rose emotionally.
Fandom: James Asher Vampire Series - Barbara Hambly
Pairings: James Asher/Lydia Asher/Simon Ysidro
Thoughts: How do you have a vampire boyfriend? What does that look like?
I super love anything involving James and/or Lydia being protective of Simon or Simon being protective of either one of them. (Though I'm not as into James being protective of Lydia because that feels too patriarchy-adjacent? And he respects her competence SO MUCH and that's important.)
Anything involving Simon's backstory or that brings in his long history would be welcome, as is anything involving all three being competent in their own ways.
Fandom: Ted Lasso
Pairings: Keeley Jones/Roy Kent/Jamie Tartt
Thoughts: Look, these three belong together and I NEED them together! They all love each other so much! In different ways! And the different ways they show love to each other are important to me--for instance, the way the guys show love to Keeley is so different than the way they show love to each other. And that's the fun of them!
I would prefer Roy and Jamie not being super soppy or sweet over each other--there's always a little bit of prickliness with their relationship that I really enjoy. And it's okay for them to be competitive but not about which one of them Keeley loves more.
Fandom: 손: The Guest (TV)
Pairings: Choi Yoon/Kang Gil Young/Yoon Hwa Pyung
Thoughts: Perfect OT3! This one doesn't have to be explicitly romantic/sexual if you don't want it to be, I just want all three of them together and loving each other! They're each others' people and no one else will ever understand any one of them the way the other two do!
Some things to explore: does Yoon leave the clergy? If not, how does he mentally deal with his relationship with the other two? Do they continue to fight demons or do they try to live a normal life? What might that look like?
Immediate post-series fic might be fun--obviously, Gil Young is going to punch Hwa Pyung in the next seconds after the series ends, but then what do they talk about? How do Yoon and Gil Young convey just how much they missed him? What do they decide to do about the logistics of life next?
These three are also particularly ripe for missing scenes from the show where they bond further.
Fandom: Life with Derek
Pairings: Casey McDonald/Derek Venturi
Thoughts: I am but a simple Dasey shipper. Yes, I am basic. The way these two are so obsessed with each other but can't admit it because of Reasons is so delicious. I would prefer not to have a real AU for them--the fact that they've been living together for years and have all this history is what makes this ship so appealing to me, so I'm not interested in a story where they aren't stepsiblings.
Please ignore both the movie and the revival show! That's not the future I want for them! Something set during the show or post-show would work equally well for me.
Some things I love:
+ Anything with Derek being protective of Casey
+ Actually, anything with Casey being protective of Derek
+ Angsty pining!
+ Angsty pining followed by finally getting together!
+ Secretly banging and Not Talking About It (while pining)
+ I really am so basic about them!
