Trick or Treat 2025
Sep. 17th, 2025 08:31 pmHi!
Deciding to sign up for TOT was a bit of a last-minute decision, so apologies if this letter is brief--I want to give you some info or context by the time assignments go out. Let's dig in, shall we?
Bluebeard:
This is about the only premise for which I would accept anything like 'overcoming resistance' dub/noncon, though I would prefer to lean in the direction of wanting things one shouldn't and being seduced by the allure of the forbidden. It's also the premise I'm most stringent about not wanting a modern setting for.
Warhammer 40k:
Gideon Ravenor is, unfortunately, my favorite chew toy. I'd love shipfic; I am powerless to request shipfic outright. When Yuletide arrives, I will be requesting Ravenor/Patience fic there (and maybe some other Ravenor-centric fic too). May we meet again there to write about powerful psykers and the interesting things one can do in ware. (And Blanks. Wystan Frauka is my other chew toy.)
I requested him as a solo character, but he obviously doesn't have to be alone in the story. If Arianrhod is there, it's fine to have some shippy content, but I would prefer it not be the main focus. I really do spend a lot of time thinking about what he got up to when he was furloughed after the novena, and what he told the rest of the team.
I also wasn't kidding about the college AU. It's like my one exception to that 'no modern AUs' DNW. I think he'd teach philosophy.
Original Work:
I didn't nom any of these prompts because, as mentioned, this was a last-minute decision. I tried to break them up in terms of how light or dark I wanted people to go with it. Originally I had three separate requests, but fandoms have to be unique, so please try to be understanding of my preferences if we matched in a way you didn't anticipate.
Most of these settings skew historical or fantasy, to my mind. I like my vampires in crumbling castles, you know? Goth girls and new vampires do point toward a more contemporary setting, but I want my nuns to be living pre-electricity or in a fantasy type setting. Kings and princes should probably be in a fantasy setting too!
The hentai game isekai got filed under 'treats only' because I explicitly do not want this monster encounter to be entirely nonconsensual and I don't want her to die of it. Sex pollen and general hentai logic is okay here! I would prefer either more humanoid monsters (succubi, minotaurs, your standard D&D races, etc) or tentacles/slimes/whatever versus a more 'feral beasts' type of thing. It CAN be a group sex thing, but it doesn't have to be, and I'm totally fine with a more comedic take on the whole scenario!
The supernaturally-obsessed noble and the grifter smacks of Victorian spirituality to me, but a fantasy take would be fine too. I think the obvious thing to do with it would be for them to succeed in summoning a demon or calling a ghost or whatever against all odds, but it's not remotely the only possibility! What is the noble after? Is he trying to contact someone who's passed on? Does he want to make a Faustian bargain? Is he looking for a supernatural edge, and if so, in what?
The cyberpunk model can be of any gender, and again does not have to be the only character in the story. I have no strong thoughts about what I want that story to do, but I do keep thinking about that old tumblr post joking about how the two genders in cyberpunk are 'kpop idol' or 'tank.' Maybe they find solace with this group of people that looks very different from them, but did something kind of similar for reasons they understand?
I think that about covers it! I hope this was helpful to you. Thank you for spending time during the best season of the year to make something for me!

DNW:
- Generative AI. I would literally rather you default.
- Generally speaking, M/M as a main focus
- Violent, explicit rape. Dubcon is more acceptable in tricks than treats, and with a supernatural explanation for any premise. There's one edge case--Bluebeard--which I'll talk about below.
- Second-person POV or 'x Reader' style interpretations.
- Sexuality/gender angst; homophobia; etc. Characters should be at peace with their identities and any conflict or strife should not be on the basis of these things. I'll be more lenient about period-typical bigotry but definitely don't want it from the 'good guys' or any romantic interests, and queer characters should generally like themselves despite others' attitudes.
- Jealousy or infidelity as a major part of the emotional landscape
- Underage NSFW
- A/B/O dynamics
- 'Modern' settings for not explicitly modern prompts
- Most bodily fluids (no watersports/scat; menses; vomit; etc)
- Hatesex
- 'Mundane' dubcon--mostly persistence/wearing down resistance. In the cases of supernatural influence, characters should end up enjoying themselves and not resent/regret the experience afterwards.
Likes:
- Canon-compliant fic and canon-divergent AUs
- Interiority (lots of focus on a character's thoughts and emotional landscape)
- Explorations of complicated relationships and the ways they can grow and change over time
- Found and chosen family
- Characters torn between love and duty
- Characters with a strong sense of loyalty
- Reincarnation romance
- Finding comfort in adversity
- Angst (but with hope)
- Intertextuality (reference some poetry or classical work and i'm THERE, babey!)
- Trans and nonbinary characters, even in historical settings
Smut likes:
- F/F
- M/F
- M/F/M
- Vanilla sex (100% okay! please don't feel you absolutely have to cater to the kinks I list here!)
- Femdom
- Dirty talk
- Orgasm denial / edging / ruined orgasm
- Rope bondage
- Impact play (spanking, flogging, caning)
- Blindfolds
- Praise kink
- Semi-public sex (the thrill of maybe getting caught is especially crucial)
- Clothed/semi-clothed sex
- Guided masturbation
- Upending the assumed power dynamics of a given sex act. It's not inherently submissive to suck a cock, for example!
- Whatever you've got to offer!
- I am happy to receive art treats even for fandoms/prompts I did not request art of!
Bluebeard:
As I mentioned in my signup, I got a Bluebeard-themed fill a couple years ago in an exchange and was absolutely thrilled to death by it. If you can spare the time, go take a look. It was technically for the TTRPG Bluebeard's Bride, which has its own questions it likes to ask about what happens after the end of play, like:
- What were the Bride’s last loving words to Bluebeard before he killed her?
- How does the Bride punish future brides for transgressions against Bluebeard?
- What memory of Bluebeard’s house gives the Bride pleasure when it shouldn’t?
- What is the only thing the Bride can feel?
