Season of Drabble, Fall 2022 Prompts

[something_ignites]

Adventure Time, Princess Bubblegum/Marceline

Peebles and Marcy! Words cannot express how much I love these two. Would love to see a snippet of their relationship in any form.

Some optional prompts, if you need ideas:

1. Post-canon slice-of-life, as they're navigating resuming their romantic relationship. (Bonus points if you include details from Distant Lands).
2. If you're more here for their friendship, would love to see some in-between scenes in the canon, as the two of them slowly become friends again between "What Was Missing" (season 3) and "Varmins" (season 7).
3. One of my favorite episodes is "Broke His Crown" (season 8), because I love the dynamic of PB trying to get alone with Ice King for Marcy's sake. Would love to see more of PB grimacing and tolerating Ice King's nonsense because she knows how important he is to Marceline. Or, if you're interested in post-canon, what would the PB/Marcy/Simon dynamic be like? How do things go when PB officially "meets" Simon as Marcy's father figure?
4. More family sheningans, this time of the bio-family variety. What was it like when Marcy met Neddy for the first time? Or how does Bubblegum temper her protective instincts, when she finally meets the wad of chewed gum that is Hunson Abadeer?
5. If none of these spark your imagination, anything you want to write for this couple works great for me. You signed up to write these two for a reason, and I'm here for that reason!

DNW: I read fics to further immerse myself in the world that canon presents, so my DNWs are anything that significantly deviates from the tone/topics presented in the original work. No pregnancy, kidfics, character deaths, or sad endings please. Not interested in receiving smut for this pairing.

Thank you!

Tortall, Jon & Alanna

I shamelessly love two things: the "a king and his champion knight" trope, and the queering of heterosexual relationships. The Jon/Alanna dynamic will always be fascinating to me, whether romantic or platonic.

Some optional prompts, if you need ideas:

1. Give me more of the King's Champion verbally sparring with her king, and Jonathan being simultaneously proud of and infuriated by his Lioness. I love the two of them butting heads over politics. Perhaps they're butting heads on a new policy? Or maybe she needs to play the politics game with some stuffy nobleman, and he's coaching her on how to be diplomatic?
2. If you ship them romantically, then would love to see how they make it work! Tamora Pierce had initially paired them together but found that not to be the right choice for Alanna because she wasn't suited to life as a queen. So how do Jon and Alanna overcome that? What would it have been like, for Tortall to have a warrior queen?
3. If you want to write them in a romantic context, would love to see how Jon grapples with Alanna's masculine side. Is it a struggle for him? Does it accept it naturally?
4. If none of these spark your imagination, anything you want to write for these two work great for me. You signed up to write these two for a reason, and I'm here for that reason!

DNW: I read fics to further immerse myself in the world that canon presents, so my DNWs are anything that significantly deviates from the tone/topics presented in the original work. No infidelity, pregnancy, kidfics, character deaths, or sad endings please. I recognize that both Alanna and Jon are canonically parents, but would prefer this fic not focus too much on them as parents. Not interested in receiving smut for this pairing.

Bob's Burgers, Zeke/Tina

"Damn Tina, now I got a story to tell on our wedding day. You think that's not gonna happen, but I'll getcha girl! I'm gonna getcha!" And with those words, a thousand ships were launched.

...Okay, maybe just my ship, but it's a big ship, okay?

I love Zeke so much. Please give me more of this brash, self-assured teen boy who wears his heart on his sleeves. I love how he is supposed to fulfill the "bully" trope, but so quickly evolves out of that. He's actually the most genuine and sweet of everyone in Tina's peer group, minus maybe Tina herself.

What would a 1:1 interaction between Zeke and Tina be like? Maybe Tina plans a major outing for her crew, but Zeke is the only one who shows up? Or what if Zeke got a job at Bob's Burgers? What would it be like to integrate Zeke into the family dynamics?

Obviously, I ship Tina/Zeke, but if you are not a fan of them, I would honestly be just as happy with a fic where Tina develops a newfound appreciation of Zeke as a friend/person. She's shown to generally see him as gross/dumb or an inconvenient barrier to her getting with Jimmy Jr, but there are times when she's open to seeing him as more than that. Would love to see a snippet of those moments!

I didn't request this, so no pressure, but if you're not fond of Tine/Zeke, I would honestly be just as happy with a fic that explores his dynamic with the other Belchers, especially Bob. Zeke seems like a natural protege for Bob: Bob obviously wants to share his love of cooking with others, and Zeke yearns for a father figure. Show me what them bonding would be like!

DNW: I read fics to further immerse myself in the world that canon presents, so my DNWs are anything that significantly deviates from the tone/topics presented in the original work. No pregnancy, character deaths, or sad endings please. Not interested in receiving smut for this pairing.

GetBackers, Ban/Ginji

Look, the canon ended some time ago and the fandom is pretty much dead very tiny, so any new content you can offer for these losers would make my heart sing. Seriously, have at it.

My favorite part of the canon is the unseverable bond between Ban and Ginji. Whether you see it as sexual/romantic or not, you can't deny that their relationship is foundational to the series. So I'd love anything that highlights their relationship, whether it's casefic or slice-of-life, or even a scene where they're trying to get out of another parking ticket.

DNW: I read fics to further immerse myself in the world that canon presents, so my DNWs are anything that significantly deviates from the tone/topics presented in the original work. No pregnancy, character deaths, or sad endings please. Not interested in receiving smut for this pairing.

Dragon Ball, Son Goku/Chi Chi

These two...do not get the best depiction in canon. Between Chi-Chi's nagging and Goku's deadbeat dad of the year award, it's no wonder that most fans are at best indifferent to this couple.

So I'd love to see anything that depicts the sweeter side of the couple. Perhaps a cute domestic moment between the two of them? Or anything that shows why Chi-Chi stays with him. Like, is Goku just really good at laying the pipe?

Bonus points if your fic referenced that Chi-Chi is a strong fighter in her own right.

DNW: I read fics to further immerse myself in the world that canon presents, so my DNWs are anything that significantly deviates from the tone/topics presented in the original work. No character deaths, or sad endings please.

If you go smutty with this pairing: I see these two as pretty vanilla, so DNW anything too hardcore or involves objects outside of the character's own bodies. No feederism, vomiting, body notification, bathroom stuff in the bedroom. However, things I would be into are: Goku using his strength to pin Chi-Chi down; nipple teasing; multiple orgasms; creampies; marathon sex (come on, you know Goku's stamina applies to the bedroom as well).

Elementary, Joan & Sherlock

I love Joan and Sherlock's dynamic in the canon so much, and would love anything that centers the relationship and banter between the two of them. Whether you read the two as romantic/sexual or not, it's clear that they're each other's Life Partners. I want to see more of that!

Some optional prompts, if you need ideas:

1. Post-canon domesticity! I don't normally care for kidfic, but I love the idea of Sherlock struggling with domesticity, and being a parental figure to a young toddler, knowing how important Arthur is to Joan.
2. No Arthur, all Clyde: If you likewise do not care for kidfic, what about some turtlefic? Would love to see Sherlock and Joan as fussy parents to a sweet turtle.
3. Marcus Bell: I didn't request him, but I love Marcus Bell almost as much as I love these two. If you wanted to write something features Marcus, Joan, and Sherlock interacting, then more power to you! I ship them as an OT3, but I'd be more than happy with gen banter as well. Perhaps an exploration of how Marcus is doing, post-canon?
4. If none of these spark your imagination, anything you want to write for these two work great for me. You signed up to write these two for a reason, and I'm here for that reason!

Peep Show, Mark/Jeremy/Sophie

Jeremy, Mark, and Sophie are all trainwrecks. As individuals, and as duos. But what about them as a trio? Would love to see any scene with the three of them interacting, especially after Jeremy and Sophie bonded and discovered how much they have in common.

Some optional prompts, if you need ideas:

1. I ship Mark/Jeremy/Sophie, and would love to see what domesticity between the three of them would look like. Perhaps Jeremy and Sophie slowly driving Mark mad?
2. Or even if you don't ship them, what would domesticity between them look like anyway? What if Sophie had moved in with them after she had Ian, and now the three of them have to navigate what their weird little platonic family unit looks like?
3. If none of these spark your imagination, anything you want to write for these two work great for me. You signed up to write these two for a reason, and I'm here for that reason!

DNW: I read fics to further immerse myself in the world that canon presents, so my DNWs are anything that significantly deviates from the tone/topics presented in the original work. Not particularly interested in Ian as a character so much as a plot device for the requested characters to navigate. No character deaths, or sad endings please. Not interested in receiving smut for this prompt.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dennis/Dee/Charlie/Mac

The It's Always Sunny gang! If you can write these assholes, then more power to you! I love this show and always want more content from it, so would love to see anything featuring these four together.

Some optional prompts, if you need ideas:

1. Dysfunctional Foursome: I ship the four of them together as an OT4, and would love to see how much more dysfunctional their dynamic becomes when you add sex into the mix.
2. Grusome Twosomes: I also ship Charlie/Dee and Mac/Dennis, and would love to see anything with the 4 of them paired off like that. Perhaps Charlie/Dee vs Mac/Dennis in some sort of competition? Or what would a game of CharDee MacDennis look like, when everyone is dating someone from the opposite team?
3. CharDee? No Thanks!: While I ship Charlie/Dee, some revelations in season 13 have made me pump my breaks on them. In "Time's Up For the Gang," we learn that Dee raped Charlie. Would love to see Charlie and Dee discuss the fallout from that revelation - how does that make Dee feel? Does she apologize? Is Charlie able to move past this?
4. Gen: Would love to see the four of them conniving together against one of their many foes/foils. Perhaps they're scheming to get money from Frank again? Or they've somehow found a new way to torture Cricket? Maybe one of the Ponderosas just won't leave the bar, and they need to find a way to get rid of them!
5. If none of these spark your imagination, anything you want to write for these two work great for me. You signed up to write these two for a reason, and I'm here for that reason!

DNW: I read fics to further immerse myself in the world that canon presents, so my DNWs are anything that significantly deviates from the tone/topics presented in the original work. I love the dark humor of this show, and how straight up terrible all four of them are, so nothing overtly sweet or fluffy. (Fluff is okay, but please give it some bite!) No character deaths, or sad endings please. Not interested in receiving smut for this prompt.
