rodo | Dear Chocolatier,

First off, I hope you're going to have fun writing for me and that this letter helps. I'd also like to say that I'd like fic for all the characters/pairings/fandoms I'm requesting here, whether it follows my prompts or not. If you have an idea that you absolutely want to write about these characters and it doesn't go against my DNWs, feel free to write it.

My AO3 Name:

Rodo

General Do Not Wants:

detailed depictions of depression and alcoholism
a story being in both first person and present tense
unrequested non-canonical pairings for canon characters
setting AUs (like coffeeshop!AUs or space!AUs)
Korean speech patterns in English stories. By that I mean use of honorifics (-sshi, -nim), stuff like eomma and hyung, job titles, the use of names when a pronoun would usually be used in English, vocative markers (-(y)ah) or subject markers (-i(e) being the one I usually come across in fic). I am fine with Korean name order, since that is also used in English, or untranslatable fantasy terms such as the ones in Arthdal Chronicles.
character/relationship studies

General Likes:

stories with a similar tone and theme as canon
casefic
plotty fics in general
complicated interpersonal relationships
nuanced friendships and family relationships
post-canon fic
canon-divergence AUs

Now for the canons:

Carnival Row (TV)
The Fall of the Gas-Lit Empire – Rod Duncan
내 뒤에 테리우스 | My Secret Terrius
Warrior (TV 2019)

Carnival Row (TV)

Canon-specific DNW: an AU where Philo has wings

Rycroft Philostrate/Vignette Stonemoss:

Some tropes/prompts I’m interested in for this pairing are:

wingfic porn that explores Philo’s fascination with Vignette’s wings
hurt/comfort set in The Burgue (doesn’t matter who does the comforting or who is hurt)
missing scenes about the stolen moments between them in Anoun
any exploration of what could happen post-season one, with tensions escalating and the two of them being caught in the middle

The Fall of the Gas-Lit Empire – Rod Duncan

A note/canon-specific would-rather-not: I nominated the series like this because I have not yet read the second trilogy focussing on the characters, so I only want fic based on the first one. In case you are wondering, I also do not mind their canon love interests/relationships, but I would prefer it if you ignored them or pretend they are just friends should you write shipfic.

Elizabeth Barnabus &/ Julia Swain:

Some prompts/tropes I am interested in for these two:

Julia assisting Elizabeth with her work.
going out (perhaps on a date) with Elizabeth crossdressed
Julia (and her parents) being protective of Elizabeth and sheltering her while she’s on the run for Reasons
Elizabeth and Julia’s personalities clash over something Elizabeth did, but they make up

내 뒤에 테리우스 | My Secret Terrius

Go Ae-rin/Kim Bon:

A note: I am fine with the same level of ambiguous shippiness we see in canon. You don’t need to make it explicit if you don’t want to.

Some prompts/tropes I am interested in for these two:

wacky spy shenanigans post-canon in New York
pretending to be a married couple for work while also finally starting to date and failing to keep work and non-work separate
outsider point of view on their spy shenanigans from the other people in the apartment building
working with another spy agency whose people look down on Ae-rin before she demonstrates how awesome she is.

Warrior (TV 2019)

Ah Sahm & Hong & Young Jun:

Just, you know, shenanigans. I really like their team dynamics and would appreciate a new twist on it.

Hong gets himself into trouble and Ah Sahm and Young Jun have to work together to help him even though they’re not back to fully trusting each other
Hong and Ah Sahm settling into their roles as Young Jun’s left and right hand while Young Jun figures out how to be a leader
Hong gets fed up with Ah Sahm and Young Jun not making up and contrives to get them to be friends again – via lots of violence, probably

Ah Sahm/Penelope Blake:

a PWP set during the first season
Ah Sahm/Penny/the Hop Wei teaming up to work against Buckley/the Long Zii
Ah Sahm breaking out Penny and hurt/comfort afterwards

Ah Toy/Nellie Davenport:

hurt/comfort with Nellie taking care of Ah Toy, who is not a very good patient
a five times fic about people finding out they’re in a relationship
making plans for helping others and working on them together
fluff on the vineyard

Jacob & Penelope Blake:

After everything that went down this season, I’d really love some missing scenes and pre-season about how they developed the relationship we see. They clearly care about each other, but there’s still a gulf between them. How did they meet? How did Jacob end up working for her? How did they get close enough for Jacob to not even think when Penny’s life is in danger? Anything that answers these questions would be great!

Penelope Blake & Sophie Mercer:

For these two, I’d love to see something that builds on the character development Sophie got in the season. I’d love to see her face having to deal with taking over the business and trying to save her sister. Maybe she teams up with Ah Sahm to save her?
