Dear Chocolatier,

[rodo]

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. And if you think you have a better idea than me (which is quite likely) the same applies.

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.
• 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
• pining and slow burn
• deep passion or devotion (to a person or a cause)
• action/adventure, heists and cons
• humour

Now for the canons:

• Carnival Row (TV)
• 악의 꽃 | Flower of Evil
• Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013)
• 미스터 션샤인 | Mr. Sunshine (TV)
• 진심이 닿다 | Touch Your Heart (TV)
• Warrior (TV 2019)

Carnival Row (TV)

Canon-specific DNW: an AU where Philo has wings

Rycroft Philostrate/Vignette Stonemoss:

• 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

Jonah Breakspear/Sophie Longerbane:

I love how deliciously fucked up these two are, so leaning into that would be very much appreciated. Sophie nonconning/dubconning Jonah into sex, the two of them dancing around each other while having different political goals, working against and/or with each other, Jonah trying to resist her and ultimately failing… just so long as it’s fucked up, I’m happy.

Rycroft Philostrate & Absalom Breakspear:

I think it’s sad (if understandable) that these two got to interact once. I’d love to see more of that, whether Philo got a chance to meet the chancellor pre-canon due to work related reasons, or in an AU where Breakspear survives. I liked that they got along pretty well after the initial misunderstanding, even if they don’t feel quite like a father and son usually do for each other.

Madame Moira & Runyan Millworthy:

So, we basically only got one scene of the two of them together, and it hinted at more. I want to know about their long history with each other. Epistolary fic while Runyan was travelling doing who knows what, something about their youth on the Row, something about both of them maybe being more than at first appears… I’d just love any exploration of their friendship.


악의 꽃 | Flower of Evil

Baek Hee-sung | Do Hyun-soo/Cha Ji-won:

• Something about them working things out properly post-canon
• A glimpse into an AU without Hyun-soo developing amnesia.
• Something more about how they got together.
• Outsider PoV on their relationship, maybe Ji-won’s mother’s.

Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela

Ram Rajadi/Leela Sanera

Okay, so:

1. They really needed to bang. I want to see them bang. I don’t know when or where or how – whether you just make his friends arrive later, or have them get to it in a missing scene before the suicide, or go with an elaborate AU, I don’t care.

2. Any AU that allows them to have a happy ending – maybe they ran away together, or maybe Leela’s sister-in-law arrives to prevent their suicide, maybe she gets to Ram when Leela asks her to – you don’t need to write a complete happy ending, just end in a hopeful enough place that I (and they) can believe that there’ll be one.


미스터 션샤인 | Mr. Sunshine (TV)

Gu Dong-mae/Kudo Hina

• A fic about how they become friends.
• Both of them surviving the end of the series and running off together. Maybe they'll open a bar somewhere with Yang-hwa serving the drinks and Dong-mae as a grumpy bouncer.
• Yang-hwa slowly realising she has feeling for Dong-mae
• Dong-mae realizing that he loves Yang-hwa, after all.

Haman/Haengrang

• Becoming friends over the years.
• Falling in love and mutual pining, but both being too stubborn to say anything.
• Trying to help raise Ae-Shin.

진심이 닿다 | Touch Your Heart (TV)

Kwon Jung-rok/Oh Jin-shim | Oh Yoon-seo

I really loved their relationship in the series, so I basically mostly want more of them being cute, dorky and sweet together. How does Jung-rok adjust to openly dating a star? How about a date that gets interrupted by fans/work? Holiday fic (the holiday doesn’t have to be remotely seasonal)?


Warrior (TV 2019)

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?
