pickledragonHi creator, excited to be matched with you for this exchange, and I hope you have a fun time making your fanwork :) My list of likes/DNWs are on the sign-up, but below are some potential prompts for my requests - feel free to snag them or follow your muse in another direction!
For artists, I'm good with any style! My prompts are a bit fic-leaning, but please feel free to use them and/or my likes/tags to synthesize into inspiration if you'd like! :D
UPDATED/COMPLETED 5/2!
Charles and Erik are mutually manipulative, well-intentioned, idealolgically opposed and canon-inconsistent disasters who are also in love and take 30 years to finish a single game of chess with peoples' lives, at which point the pieces blow up. I *love* scenarios in which Erik or Charles has to come to terms with the extent to which they care about the other or there's this big vibe of denial of "guess i have to rescue/go with this person for the Mutant Cause and the Mutant Cause Only." I would prefer the timeline around First Class and Days of Future Past, but feel free to go wherever you like!
If you matched on the Stryker tag, feel free to whump on Charles <.< Idealogically and physically! Maybe he's forced to use his telepathy on other people, or is just held out of the way of a fight he desperately wants to help with! Perhaps Stryker wants revenge and just doesn't care about the condition Charles will be in when he gets it.
If you matched on the Moira and Raven tags, I think they're just Extremely awesome characters whose stories tend to revolve around these guys: they should be allowed to have complex feelings on them and their own agendas! Them being awesome, in any way that means for them, will be appreciated <3.
Scooby Doo:
Prisoner!Fred Jones/Rescuer!Daphne Blake - Mystery Incorperated! Maybe the gang runs into another fake supernatural enity once again willing to kidnap for their agenda! Maybe it's real and related to Nibiru and the conspiracies around Crystal Cove! Or maybe even post-canon, in the new, non-supernatural universe, they still run into people who don't want them sniffing around. Would love for Daphne to get to use her people skills and her knack for running into clues - or maybe she picked up some trap knowledge from Fred!
Captor!Brad Chiles & Captor!Judy Reeves & Prisoner!Fred Jones - Fred's complicated feelings about his biological parents and his adoptive father are one of my favorite parts of this show, and I'd love something with Fred slowly learning they don't have his best interests at heart, where the capture starts out psychological (and maybe escalates to physical) even as he really wants them to be something they're not.
Fred as a complete dork will always be appreciated (especially analyzing the quality of his own containment situation) and 10000000 bonus points for any bondage ;).
She-Ra:
Simply obsessed with Glimmer and her knack of both 1. making difficult and problematic (<3) moral decisions, and 2. getting kidnapped in canon by two of the big bads of the series and having to survive under them! We've seen her lean into her bond with Shadow Weaver to gain more power - maybe it's about Micah and becomes about her, and they both fall deeper into codependency, even as Shadow Weaver manipulates/imprisoners her? Maybe Hordak Prime starts wondering exactly what the limits of Etherians really are, and takes her to the lab - OR, maybe psycological warfare is more his speed, and he continues to wine-and-dine Glimmer with the last remnants of entire planetary systems to try and get her on his side.
Regardless of captor, Adora/Catra/Bow as members of the Best Friend Squad as rescuers would be so welcome. They may have complicated feelings about her (especially during Horde Prime's captivity), but they all love each other so much and want to see her safe! Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Guilt, and Confrontation all appreciated.
Kung Fu Panda:
Something with a happy ending would be really appreciated here (but obviously not required!). This series is just chock full of people that care a TON about each other, and, as shown in canon, they all take being prisoner in a variety of ways. Maybe there's a new threat to China and the Valley of Peace - or maybe it's something lower stakes, and more emotional! 10000000000 bonus points for puns, regardless of fic tone. Puns are great.
Prisoner!Tigress/Rescuer!Po (Kung Fu Panda), Prisoner!Po/Rescuer!Tigress (Kung Fu Panda) - Would love a getting together story for these two - or perhaps they have an established relationship (either going well or on the rocks!). This could be the perfect opportunity to either add more tension or resolve it! They're both incredibly talented warriors, so what would have to go wrong for them to get captured? How would one or the other approach a rescue? Maybe they get to team up and fight their way out!
Prisoner!Shifu & Rescuer!Tai Lung (Kung Fu Panda), Prisoner!Li Shan & Prisoner!Po & Rescuer!Mr. Ping (Kung Fu Panda) - Say it with me: Dad Issues, the Kung Fu Panda tradition! I will love anything where Mr. Ping gets to panic and take the wheel for a rescue attempt (who better to distract guards or villains than a noodle sale, or maybe dumplings as projectiles) and maybe even impress his son and his son's other dad along the way! For Shifu and Tai Lung, it would be extremely interesting to see Tai Lung put in a situation where he has to admit (either through actions or words) how much he really does care about Shifu. There's so many mistakes and guilt between those two <3.
Hannibal:
This prompt is basically where anything goes - feel free to treat the ships as a dually extended list of just every female character in the show + Will and Hannibal for ships. Things going well, things going wrong, toxic relationships that spiral out or people that find love, somehow! I *love* seeing Hannibal intentionally or unintentionally pulling the people in his web into equal or worse types of (for lack of a better word) villainy, and either Alana or Will snapping in ways not even he expects <3. If Will rescues, how does he justify it to himself, or is he already too far gone in love for Hannibal to care?
If you matched on Prisoner!Beverly Katz: literally anything with her ever. Letting her smarts and clinical intelligence shine, even if in the end she escapes or gets eaten. My kingdom for any Beverly stuff <3.
If you matched on Prisoner!Abigail/Rescuer!Alana, I'd love something diving deeper into their relationship and the protectiveness Alana has for Abigail, and the depths to which Abigail is haunted by her past and present. Alana spends so much time trying to help people she cares about - is this an extension or that, or something more? Abigail is caught in the orbit of so many other people - does she want to escape that?
Currently, I've only finished up to the end of Season 2, but totally don't let that stop you from writing Season 3 stuff (no super plotty spoilers please!).
