HI AND THANKS FOR READING!
:D
Have fun and I will love whatever you make for me. I will treasure it forever.
I'm happy to receive Halloween themed fics for the challenge. (If you want to dig into old Halloween traditions too that'd be lovely.)
While I like occult themes and the supernatural, I prefer happy, or at least hopeful/satisfying endings, with the good guys surviving and winning, and any evils being defeated/vanquished, so please keep that in mind for any extra tricks.
Original Works
I love original works. These are prompts I picked because they seemed interesting.
I'm hoping for m/m for the ship tags. I'd also prefer male witches but if you were assigned me on that tag and would prefer to write something else that's totally ok. Have fun! Fun is the most important thing.
Here's some rambling thoughts on the prompts, but if you've another idea feel free to go with that.
Candy Witch - is the witch made of candy, or are they a witch who does magic with candy? Maybe they bake gingerbread men helpers, or the marshmallow man, or sugar mice and gummi bears. Is this the witch who built the cottage in Hansel and Gretel? Do they have a connection to halloween and all the candy there? Or what about a witch who creates magic candies that offer blessings or curses or change people's moods? Or Narnia-inspired Turkish Delight, or a Willy Wonka-ish business, or an entire Candy Land. Candy Witch has so much vast potential. Maybe even a candy contest like those cooking shows on tv. Or if you've your own awesome idea run with it.
The Chosen One's Best Friend/The Dark Lord's Trusted Advisor - Are the two of them overshadowed and underappreciated by the escalating war between the Chosen One/Dark Lord? Or do they believe in the cause? Is it unrequited love all around? Are they just tired of the Chosen One/Dark Lord rivalry and have decided to join together and play matchmaker only to fall in love in the process?
Jester & Demon - I love the idea of Jester's being a special position exempt from political backlash and able to say exactly what's on their mind. BUT I'm also fond of the idea of poor Jester forced to perform for other's amusement and having a terrible time of it. There's something about the idea of a Jester helping free a demon, or teaching a demon their own tricks which amuses me. Who summoned the demon? What brings them together? Is the Jester going to mock the poor demon? (I'm not a fan of crass humour or slapstick.)
Man Who Mistakenly Believes He's a Prophesied Hero/Actual Prophesied Hero - This one is just an amazing idea. I love it, I love prophecies and playing with prophetic tropes and what makes a true hero. All those good themes.
Vampire's Male Servant/Man Seeking Shelter from Snowstorm in Vampire's Castle - The imagery of this is beautiful. I love snowed in, and those short, cold winter days and very long nights. Are they both human? What about the vampire? This whole prompt evokes so many different ideas. Is the vampire evil, is the servant enslaved, why is the man who seeks shelter travelling in such terrible weather?
Powerful Mage Who's Temporarily Lost His Magic/His Male Rival - How did the mage lose their magic and how will they cope without it? Is it all his rival's fault or is his rival the only one powerful enough to help? What's it like to define yourself by your magic, work hard for it and then lose it? Are there enemies he will need protection from if they discover he has no magic?
Person Stuck in a Time Loop/The Grim Reaper (OW) - I LOVE TIME LOOPS! All that ground hog day esque shenanigans. They're very much my jam. I prefer a kindly death like Thanatos or Death from Sandman. I'd rather the deaths lean into more amusing than graphic and horrifying.
Male Fairy/Male Witch - I love fairies! I love witches! I love them both together.
Male Human/Male Demon - Ditto for demons, love them, prefer if they're not evil though.
