Dear Chocolate Box Writer
Jan. 2nd, 2019 07:57 amStuff I grok in general:
My DNWs:
If you're looking to write smut, I am 100% down with that, and I enjoy:
For the most part, my fic wants - in this batch of requests, anyway; can be best be summed up as "more of that!" I love all these canons wholeheartedly, so any continuance of the dynamics and relationships as presented to us already would make a very happy Valentine's Day for me.
Band Sinister - K. J. Charles
IT'S FINE. THEY WALKED TO THE NEAREST HUMAN HABITATION, RECOVERED FROM THE SCURVY AND LEAD POISONING, AND SAILED HOME TO BRITAIN. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED TO ANYONE. IT'S FINE.
. . . alternately, feel free to focus on their pre-show, tender, bookish courtship. Or their in-show tender, bookish romance, before everything went totally to shit. Just give these poor souls a break! They've been through enough!
- loyalty kink
- religious themes
- found families
- hurt/comfort
- casefic
- general spookiness, especially gothic-style spookiness
- historical detail, especially history bleeding into the present
- mutually supportive couples
- female characters
- huddling for warmth
My DNWs:
- animal death/abuse
- incest
- character death
- A/B/O
- modern AUs (if canon is fantasy/historical)
- noncon/dubcon
- underage
If you're looking to write smut, I am 100% down with that, and I enjoy:
- body worship
- tender sex
- frantic, clothes-ripping sex
- first time
- cunnilingus
- strap-ons
- orgasm delay

Band Sinister - K. J. Charles
Amanda Frisby & Corvin, Philip Rookwood/Guy Frisby/Corvin/John Raven
So as you can probably tell from my list of requests, I spent the months of November and December blasting through everything KJ Charles has ever written and falling in love with all of it. For this book, I requested Amanda and Corvin because they seem like they'd get along like a house on fire (not in the least because they both enjoy provoking people) and I want to see the kind of shenanigans they'll get up to as de facto in-laws. I also requested Philip/Guy/Corvin/Raven, and you can take that either as an OT4 in the "four people to one bed" sense, or an understanding that they're all entangled as a big family - to what degree that's romantic/sexual is up to you.

A Charm of Magpies Series - K. J. Charles
Jonah Pastern/Ben Spenser
God, I love all the Magpie characters, but I think I picked these two because they're, oddly, the happiest/most domestic of the bunch - I expected from the book's summary that it was going to be very dark and twisted, and instead they moved to the seaside and got adopted by a widow and her children. (That's not a complaint.) So - anything about their new, domestic lives and their place in the community.

Girls Made of Snow And Glass - Melissa Bashardoust
Mina/Lynet (Girls Made of Snow And Glass)
I spent a good portion of this book on tenderhooks wondering if it would really Go There and make them girlfriends. It didn't, but I'd love it if you did!

The Raven and the Reindeer - T. Kingfisher
Gerta/Janna (The Raven and the Reindeer)
More adventures! More tumbling! More self-actualization! More cuteness! More awesome grandmas! Maybe more magical quests, even, if they're not fully burned out on that front. Or maybe they can just stay at home and cuddle.

The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal - KJ Charles
Robert Caldwell/Simon Feximal (The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal)
The cool thing about this book is that, as the friend who recommended it put it, it's basically "fanfic for a canon that doesn't exist." So feel free to fill in any of the various stories that took place over the years Simon and Robert worked together.

Outlaw King (2018)
Robert the Bruce/Elizabeth de Burgh Robert the Bruce/Elizabeth de Burgh & Marjorie
"Yes, the story of the struggle for Scottish independence is very inspiring," I said to myself as I watched this movie, "but also can we just have a romcom about this arranged marriage? Must we cut away from Elizabeth and Marjorie playing hide-and-seek to talk about politics some more? Can't we add at least ten more scenes of Robert being impressed by Elizabeth's intelligence and diplomatic skills while exchanging shy, flirtations looks with her?" More of the Bruce-de Burghs being cute, that's all I ask.

IT'S FINE. THEY WALKED TO THE NEAREST HUMAN HABITATION, RECOVERED FROM THE SCURVY AND LEAD POISONING, AND SAILED HOME TO BRITAIN. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED TO ANYONE. IT'S FINE.
