Dear Candy Hearts Exchange Writer,
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.

General Likes:
Carnival Row (TV) – Jonah Breakspear/Sophie Longerbane, Rycroft Philostrate & Tourmaline Larou
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 & Tourmaline Larou: I think their not-quite-friendship is interesting and I’d like to see more about it, whether it’s an outsider POV (Vignette, Philo’s colleagues, Moira, OCs who live on the Row), a not-quite-squabble or a scene of them becoming for-real friends. Whether they meet on the street by accident, end up on the only two seats in a café that are still free and happen to be at the same table or whether it’s about one of Philo’s cases, I’d be delighted to read about it.
악의 꽃 | Flower of Evil (TV) – Baek Hee Sung | Do Hyun Soo/Cha Ji Won
Baek Hee Sung | Do Hyun Soo/Cha Ji Won: Some ideas: canon divergence at any point of the series – I have no specific ideas right now, but I’d love to explore what could have gone differently • an AU where there is no amnesia • Cha Ji-won working on a case and Hyun-soo/Hee-sung supporting her – covertly if set pre-series, openly if set afterwards • slice of life set post-canon, with them growing together as a family again • outsider POV on their relationship
天盛长歌 | The Rise of Phoenixes (TV) – Feng Zhiwei/Ning Yi
Feng Zhiwei/Ning Yi: I want all the canon divergence AUs, from “what if they had been forced to get married when they were arranged to” to Zhiwei not dying and Ning Yi retiring to be with her (and everything in between), or just a scene from any of those AUs. Of course, more missing scene shippiness is also welcome.
설강화 | Snowdrop (TV) – Gye Bun-ok & Pi Seung-hee, Lee Gang-mu & Lim Soo-ho, Lim Soo-ho/Eun Yeong-ro, Jang Han-na & Kang Cheong-ya
Gye Bun-ok & Pi Seung-hee: I absolutely loved both of them and their complicated relationship and issues. Some ideas on what to write: something that explores how they got from the secret reveal to their last scene together • them running the dorm together from an outsider perspective • post-canon fic about a slice-of-life type low stakes problem in the dorm
Lee Gang-mu & Lim Soo-ho: A bromance for the ages! I’d prefer something set in an AU where Soo-ho survives, rather than missing scenes: an AU that branches of that bonus scene we got in one episode with them speaking terrible German(?) while Gang-mu’s eyes are bandaged • both of them working together on a case post-canon, maybe with Soo-ho as some sort of consultant • both of them retiring from the spy business altogether and failing/struggling to adjust to normal life • Gang-mu saving Soo-ho’s life somehow
Lim Soo-ho/Eun Yeong-ro: The main pairing of the show, so of course I ship it! I really enjoyed how sweet they were together. I was really hoping for them to get a happy end, so I’d most like to read something set in an AU where Soo-ho survives somehow: whether he has to go on the run, ends up in prison or gets a new identity. With Yeong-ro taking care of his wounds/helping him hide or both of them settling into a life together despite everything that happened between them.
Jang Han-na & Kang Cheong-ya: These two were a treat together in canon, and I’d love to see the two of them be forced to work together again (Gang-mu optional). I like how antagonistic they are, but also how they are both professional enough to work really well together. Or maybe they end up on opposite sides again, maybe with Cheong-ya working as a mercenary of sorts (in which case, I’d prefer both of them to come out of it alive). Maybe they end up trapped together for a night and have to work together and also endure each other’s company.
진심이 닿다 | Touch Your Heart (TV) – Kwon Jung-rok/Oh Jin-shim | Oh Yoon-seo
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)? Or another one of those misunderstandings that gets resolved without much drama once they communicate with each other? We didn’t get to meet Yoon-seo’s family – something exploring that angle?

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
- non-Canon Divergence AUs (coffeeshop, space, A/B/O, etc.)
- 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
- Carnival Row (TV)
- 악의 꽃 | Flower of Evil (TV)
