Once Upon a Fic 2024 Letter

[midorisakura]

 Aloha Dear Writer, I am Calacious on A03,
Thank you for writing for me this year. I look forward to reading what you write. Treats are more than welcome as well.

Here is a list of my DNW/Triggers:
- anything to do with prison (kidnapping is okay)
- graphic torture for torture's sake (artistically written is fine, though)
- on-screen sex (I don't mind descriptions of kissing, handholding, or hugging)
- pining
- first person point of view
- second person point of view
- Dead Dove: Do not eat
- politics
- prolonged angst
- main character death (unless they are going to be a very present ghost)
- descriptions of hair washing or bathing someone

Here is a list of what I love in stories:
* hurt with tons of comfort
* action/adventure
* m/m slash (being about the relationship as opposed to about sex)
* mpreg
* fluff
* domestic fluff
* AUs (except for high school AUs and AUs in which someone cannot see color until they meet their soulmate)
* Soulmates
* comical misunderstandings
* twisted endings
* dark imagery
* euphemisms
* puns
* irony
* equal partners (both parties in a relationship are strong and capable)
* poetic descriptions of gore (like in Hannibal)
* murder hubbies
* sick and twisted relationships
* crossovers
* crack fic

Optional Prompts for Requests:

Schneewittchen | Snow White - Jacob and Wilhlem Grimm 
The Queen and Snow White

A redemption arc for the queen.
A story in which Snow White is male and he ends up with a charming prince or hunter at the end of the story.
The queen and Snow White falling in love.

If you write only about the queen - a story exploring her fall from grace, what pushed her to become vain?
If you write a story only about Snow White - a story in which she is asexual and is perfectly happy living as a steward of the woods would be cool.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears - Flora Annie Steel
Baby Bear and Goldilocks

I think it would be cool if Goldilocks and Baby Bear were in a relationship or became friends after what happened.
Goldilocks and Baby Bear murdering Baby Bear's family so they can be together because Baby Bear's parents don't approve of their relationship?
Baby Bear keeping Goldilocks as a playmate - a kind of reversal of Goldilocks being kept as a 'pet' for the bear family.

If writing just Goldilocks, a story that gives her side of the events.
If writing just baby bear, a story from baby bear's point of view would be nice.

The Highwayman - Alfred Noyes 
Bess, Highwayman

A happy ending for the two of them would be nice.
Bess and the Highwayman as a murder ghost couple.
Bess and the Highwayman bringing soulmates from another fairytale together (working from beyond the grave). 
Role reversal where Bess is the one who is riding to rescue the Highwayman.
Modernized AU with a happier ending.

I would also welcome stories about the other nominated characters. 

The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs (Urban Legend)
Babysitter, Child being babysat, Man Upstairs

Hear me out, what if the child and the man upstairs were working together because the child didn't like the babysitter?
The man upstairs kidnapping and keeping the babysitter and the child, making them his family.
The man upstairs meeting a rather comical death in the end - something along the lines of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.
A Home Alone type of situation involving the babysitter and the child putting the man upstairs through 'horror' to the point where he turns himself in to the police.
A story from the child's point of view or from the man upstairs' point of view would be nice as well.
