Trick or Treat Exchange 2019

kiralyThe sun sets, leaving behind a chill breeze to slip down chimneys and loose collars. The year is fading. Already you can hear its dying breaths. But somewhere, a fire burns, applewood smoke and old leaves. Drums and fiddles play a tune your heart remembers. Autumn has some life in it yet, and you are welcome to join. You turn toward the flickering light and walk until you feel its warmth.
Hello, Trick-or-Treater! Or, more accurately, “Treater” as I’ve only requested treats. I hope you’ll find something to inspire you, but as long as you keep my DNWs in mind, feel free to do as you like! If you need more ideas, you can check out my previous letters, find me on Tumblr:![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)

General Likes:
Cute, fluffy stuff. It probably isn’t possible to write something too sweet, so feel free to pour the sugar on! I don’t mind a bit of creepiness or angst, but it has to have a happy ending. For gen fics, I love to see characters building friendships, working together, going on adventures, getting into (and out of) trouble. Anything with characters out in nature is pretty great too. For shippy fics, I have a huge weakness for cuddling, (mild) hurt/comfort, and, uh...characters getting soaked and having to snuggle to warm up, haha. Kisses are good (awkward or sweet or steamy). I’m also totally down for things like “characters have to share a bed for some reason” or other situations where the characters kind of get thrown together and then develop feelings for each other.
I enjoy modern AUs that fit the Halloween theme (like, if you want to write about the SSSS characters exploring a haunted house or something) I’d also be very okay with some kind of spooky ghost story or “character is a monster/werewolf/vampire” story for this particular exchange, but again, something that ends on a hopeful note.
I’ve requested art or fic for every fandom, so do whichever you prefer! For art, I really enjoy a wide variety of styles, from sketches to watercolors to digital pieces. I love bright, saturated colors if you decide to work in color, but I also love greyscale and black and white. Since this is Trick or Treat, one art-specific request is to draw the characters in some kind of Halloween costume. (Past examples of this include an amazing drawing of Reynir and Tuuri dressed as characters from Zootopia, Cookie Monster Lalli, and Hannu and Ville as Ghostbusters). I think most of my fic prompts will work for art too, but if you don’t see anything you like, feel free to do your own thing. :)
Dislikes (Do Not Want):
Character death or maiming, including (for SSSS) characters getting infected who do not do so in canon. Violence beyond what is canon-typical. Abusive relationships. Sexual violence of any kind. Explicit sex (allusions to sex or situations that get kind of steamy are okay, just...keep it teen rated or lower, please). It’s also probably best to avoid AUs (apart from the ones I’ve mentioned) or unrequested crossovers.
Please do not include romantic pairings other than the ones I’ve requested, with the exception of canon relationships like Torbjörn/Siv or the Prologue Hotakainen couples. No characters in two simultaneous relationships/cheating.
A note about prompts:
I’m trying something a little different this year - instead of going into a lot of detail for each character or pairing, I’m just giving more general lists of prompts (sometimes with characters attached, sometimes not). There is a LOT of overlap between the characters I requested this year and the ones I requested last year, so if you’re looking for more substantial information feel free to go look at my 2018 letter.
Anyway, enough of this. On to the fandoms!
In Other Lands
Requested Characters: Elliot Schafer, Luke Sunborn, Serene-Heart-In-The-Chaos-Of-Battle
Acceptable Pairings: Elliot Schafer/Luke Sunborn, Golden-Hair-Scented-Like-Summer*/Serene-Heart-In-The-Chaos-Of-Battle
*side note: I totally didn't notice that Golden wasn't in the tagset, oops! Feel free to include him in any post-canon gifts.
In general, I’d love a story about any of these characters (or all of them!) after the events of the book. Where do they end up? What new challenges do they run into (and how do they make everything worse before it gets better?) Are there mermaids? And although I love the shippy stuff, if you want to focus more on the friendship between the group of them, that’s fine too.
Prompts:
• Any scene from the book as told from Luke’s POV instead of Elliot’s.
• Tailoring for wings - another time Elliot helps with it, or a drawing of what the end result looks like.
• Elliot tries to explain Halloween to his friends at the Border camp.
• Luke Sunborn, best umbrella/heat lamp in the Otherlands.
• Elliot gets hair advice from Golden.
• Stupid fights and tender moments
• Golden/Serene - “which one of us is the delicate flower here?”
• Elliot makes truly terrible pancakes
• The Food Processor Incident

Requested Characters: Hannu Viitanen, Jonna Kuikka, Joona Kuikka, Jouko Kuikka, Oona Kuikka, Pikku Jänis | Little Hare, Pikku-Repolainen | Puppy-Fox, Riikka Skärsholm, Tuomi Kinnunen, Ville
Acceptable Romantic Pairings: Jonna/Riikka, Hannu/Human!Ville, Hannu/Joona, Tuomi/Human!Little Hare.

• Riikka and Jonna having a cute date and/or a haunted house adventure.
Oona meets Puppy-Fox.
• Jouko Kuikka actually gets a break for once (either friends/neighbors pitch in, or his kids get off their lazy butts to give him a day off!)
• Kuikka family backstory. Why is Oona 18 years younger than her siblings if Jouko is a single dad?
• Oona is a mystical forest foundling.
• Tuomi and Little Hare continue to meet in their dreams.

Stand Still Stay Silent
Requested Characters: Aksel Eide, Bjarni Árnason, Emil Västerström, Ensi Hotakainen, Lalli Hotakainen, Michael Madsen, Onni Hotakainen, Reynir Árnason, Signe Sørensen, Sigrun Eide, Sigrun Larsen, Tuuri Hotakainen
Acceptable Romantic Pairings: Aksel/Sigrun L, Emil/Lalli, Michael/Signe, Sigrun E/Tuuri, Reynir/Tuuri, Reynir/Onni, Onni/Bjarni.
A note about my “do not want” for death/infection with the Rash: In general, I don’t want to read a story about any requested characters getting infected with the Rash, though Prologue characters worrying that they’ve been infected (when it turns out they haven’t been) is fine. And I just...don’t want to read fic focusing on Tuuri’s death unless you’re bringing her back to life. If you’re writing Y90 characters, I’d prefer you take one of the following approaches regarding Tuuri:
• Canon-divergent AU where she doesn’t get infected and does not die, or
• Something in the canon setting, but taking place before she is infected, or
• Something in the canon setting which focuses on characters not involving Tuuri (like, if you want to do one about Emil and Lalli fleeing the dusklings or something).
• A fix-it fic that involves her coming back to life somehow.
Prompts:
• Language barriers and learning attempts
• Waiting in quarantine
• Shared dreams
• (Prologue characters) Things we miss/don’t miss from the old world
• Emil/Lalli - getting to sleep in a REAL bed
• Deleted scenes from the end of the first adventure
• Anything related to my weird Lalli Loves Mothman joke/headcanon.
• On the same note, any combination of Emil/Lalli and Reynir/Onni looking for cryptids in the woods.
• Ghost stories and monster sightings - canon-level creepiness
• Ghost stories and monster sightings - silly Halloween shenanigans
• Sigrun/Tuuri - Orpheus and Eurydice, but with a happy ending
• Werewolf Reynir
• Michael/Signe - embarrassing pictures of childhood Halloween costumes
Anyway, I think that’s about all! If you have questions, feel free to ask. Anonymous comments are enabled here, and my Tumblr ask box is also open to anons.
