freakinguselessHello Trick or Treat author! Thank you so, so much for agreeing to create something for me about any of these fandoms and ships. I am so, so excited, and I hope you're excited, too! I know whatever you come up with for me will be incredible.
I am open to extra gifts, and in that case you may ignore my preferences!

Sex Likes: cunnilingus, dirty talk, praise kink (good girl!), possessiveness (you're mine/i'm yours, hickeys/marking), overstimulation, frottage/grinding/thigh riding, hair pulling, breath play, mutual masturbation, semi-public sex, fun/laughter.
Do Not Wants: pregnancy, kid fic, gender swap, A/B/O, watersports/scat, daddy kink/mommy kink, ageplay, BDSM, hard D/s dynamics (lighter/subtextual powerplays and negotiation is fine), pegging, anal sex/rimming, noncon, bestiality, suicide, self-harm (canon-specific eating disorders or references are okay), Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings/Game of Thrones/fantasy AUs, unrequested non-canon gender & sexuality headcanons, unrequested polyamory, first person pov, second person pov.
BODIES BODIES BODIES (2022) (Ship: Jordan/Sophie (Bodies Bodies Bodies), Treat - Fic or Trick - Fic)
[Currently available on Showtime in the US]
I came out of Bodies Bodies Bodies absolutely fascinated by Jordan and Sophie's relationship. I was so convinced it was the best part of the movie that I went back to the theater and watched it a second time last year, and it proved even more fruitful than I imagined. I would love any fic that explores their dynamic at any time. Give me pre-film Sophie and Jordan when they're dating. Partying together! Jordan's trips in the ambulance with Sophie! Making fun of their friends! Giving each other the power to hurt and fiercely pretending they haven't! Hurting each other -- permanent emotional scars!
I would also love something that takes place around the time of the film. Sophie and Jordan's tryst in Sophie's car before Sophie and Bee arrived. When Jordan asks if someone tried to take advantage of her in the dark, and Sophie says, "In your dreams, babe," maybe Sophie did "take advantage" of her in the dark. A fic exploring their incriminating messages -- there's a reason Sophie would rather wrestle for her phone than simply hand it over. I love infidelity, and I love the idea that Sophie and Jordan are two people so entangled that they have no real idea how to disentangle, how to give each other up or have a healthy relationship. Maybe they've cheated on every other partner they've ever had with each other!
As far as AUs for them: Maybe instead of Jordan dying, it's Bee, leaving Sophie and Jordan. Maybe they're trapped in a time loop, and Sophie and Jordan are the only two who remember. Maybe Sophie and Jordan were actually working together to kill all their friends! Maybe nobody dies and the hurricane party is still a nightmare, just in a different way. Maybe nobody dies and they have a full blown affair.
Would also love: Bonnie & Clyde AU, Vampire AU (sexy blood drinking/the idea of consuming the one you love), surviving a zombie apocalypse (but not interested in either girl actually being a zombie).
Again, I just love them, and anything dealing with their fucked up dynamic would be fantastic.
THOROUGHBREDS (2017) (Ship: Amanda/Lily (Thoroughbreds), Treat - Fic or Trick - Fic)
[Currently available on Hulu in the US]
I watched Thoroughbreds for the first time this year, and it was so my jam that I had friends be like, "This is so your thing I never would have thought to recommend it to you, because I figured you'd already seen it." I love Amanda and Lily and their nebulous and odd relationship. They used to be good friends -- the picture of them on their horses when they were younger! -- and then they lost touch, and now they're reconnecting at a time when neither of them really have anyone else.
I love the way the film plays with their obsession with each other, how throughout the movie Amanda sometimes wears something that reflects Lily's style and vice versa. They influence each other, but they never fully switch places or become each other. They can both be their truest (awful?) selves with each other, and they both lose that freedom in the end in different ways. When Lily told Amanda she drugged her drink and was planning on framing her for murder and Amanda chugged the screwdriver? I was clapping, cheering, kicking my feet and twirling my hair! That's love, baby! The original script makes me feel unhinged!
I would love anything that expands on them during the timeframe of the film, missing pieces or conversations between them. I want them to kiss! I'm into them fucking! For these two in particular I absolutely don't mind any sort of pain play or blood play. I would also love anything set after the movie: Maybe Lily visits Amanda, or maybe Amanda gets out and they run into each other somewhere.
As far as AUs for them, let them murder half of Connecticut! Serial Killer AU! Give them a Thelma & Louise or Bonnie & Clyde sort of road trip! Vampire AU or Cannibalism AU -- love as consumption! Amanda gave her life for Lily in the film, maybe some type of literalizing of that. Let Lily be haunted by Amanda, whether real or in her head. Haunting as a form of love! Anything creepy, dark and twisted here works for me.
THE BEAR (TV 2022) (Ship: Sydney Adamu/Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (The Bear TV 2022), Treat - Fic or Trick - Fic)
[Currently available on Hulu in the US]
I loved Sydney and Carmy's dynamic in the first season of The Bear, and season two did nothing to dissuade me of that notion! They're so messy and weird, and I'm obsessed with them! I love the respect between them and how much Sydney's opinion and happiness really matters to Carmy. Love that he keeps trying with her, and he keeps fucking up and frustrating her, and then is like, very upset that she's upset! Their sign language I'm Sorry! It's A Lot for me!
Maybe Carmy recommits to the restaurant and to Sydney and things become weird and complicated between them as a result -- the lines between work, friendship, and something else unclear! Maybe Carmen gets back together with Claire and she begins to observe how he is with Sydney and is Jealous and Not Pleased (but not in a bad or unfair way, because she would obviously be Right and Valid in this scenario). Maybe Sydney tells Carmy the best meal she ever had was his! Because that information still makes me feel like I need to go do cartwheels down the street!
I would also love the two of them hooking up as stress relief! Exploring how that complicates their relationship, or maybe it doesn't. Or maybe they act married and don't even notice it, but everyone else does. A fic that shows Carmy and Sydney's relationship from other POVs would be really great! How does Richie, Tina, Marcus, etc. see them!
Trap them in an enclosed space or a time loop, or maybe they travel somewhere for work and there's only one bed! I don't really have a need or desire for a lot of AU stuff here, but I would probably lose my mind at some sort of Bones and All thing -- love as consumption, always! Maybe one of them burns or cuts their hand badly and the other one helps patch them up! Turn the team into some sort of heist team -- competence in whatever they do would be great.
I just absolutely adore these two, and whether their relationship becomes more explicitly romantic/sexual or remains weird and blurry where they're kind of the most important person to each other I'm delighted!
DARE ME (TV 2019) (Ship: Beth Cassidy/Addy Hanlon (Dare Me), Treat - Fic or Trick - Fic)
[Currently available on Netflix in the US]
Addy and Beth's relationship is the blueprint for my absolute favorite kind of f/f relationship in fiction. They're best friends, so they have a long, complicated history together. They secretly kissed, and they are both so controlling (Beth) and repressed (Addy) that they have no idea what to do with their love for each other, so they let it destroy them. Their relationship is unhealthy, codependent and possessive, and I wouldn't want it any other way. I don't want them to ever let each other go or move on. Less "I can fix her" and more "I can make her worse."
I would love any story that explores their relationship at any point before the show starts, during the series, or after it ends. I read the novel as well, so feel free to take backstory mentioned there into account, but do not feel the need to do so! I would love fic where they're being terrors to everyone around them: Tacy and the squad look up to them and want to be them and also maybe hate them! Fic that explores the insular nature of the two of them and how that affects them and/or how others see them.
This is a canon where physical pain could be leaned into -- Beth's shoulder, the toll that cheerleading takes on their bodies, their massages, and patching each other up. Hurt/Comfort where they're causing the hurt and then providing the comfort! Blood play is good for me here, as well. The two of them haunting each other! Trapped together and unable to escape (and in some ways not even wanting to)!
As far as AUs go: Vampire AU (sexy blood drinking!), Cannibalism, Bonnie & Clyde or Thelma & Louise AU, robbing a bank/running a heist, serial killer AU. Anything that has them being absolutely deranged and terrible and in love/in hate simultaneously.
SANCTUARY (2022) (Ship: Hal Porter/Rebecca (Sanctuary), Treat - Fic or Trick - Fic)
[Available on Hulu in the US starting Sept. 21st]
Edit: I am aware Hal's last name is actually Porterfield and Rebecca's is Marin! Mistakes were made in the nomination stage! Sorry for any confusion!
Sanctuary was one of the most surprisingly delightful movie experiences I've had so far this year. I didn't know what to expect going into it, but I absolutely loved it. A screwball romcom disguised as an erotic thriller! Absolutely obsessed with the power play between Hal and Rebecca and his desire to make her happy. The way her jealousy slowly comes through when she thinks he's talking to a girlfriend or fiancee and then her relief and delight when she learns it's his mom! How much Hal respects Rebecca and genuinely appreciated their time together -- the absolutely annoying room service order that was half for her! Buying her a watch and really, really wanting her to like it! Everything about the movie makes me feel so, so nuts.
Would love fic that explores any of their sessions, whether it's set before the film or something they still engage in after the film ends because they find it scratches an itch for both of them. She tells him what to do, degrades him, and he loves it. I would also love to see them navigating their newfound relationship where Rebecca goes to work and Hal takes care of her in every way. What does that look like for them? Is there a learning curve? Does she have the energy to be judgmental and then tell him he did a good job? What happens if she doesn't'?
I loved the actual sex scene between them -- knife to his throat! How her happiness is the most important thing to him! Give me more of that. Some pain play, some vague threats, dirty talk and Rebecca telling Hal exactly what she thinks of him! They both seem to have a breeding kink, and I love that for them!
Would be delighted by a media-style fic where people are reacting to the fact that Hal bought out the company and named Rebecca CEO -- Who is she? How do they know each other? The gossip, the tabloids, the reddit threads! The tweets! How does his mom react? How does her ex-fiancee react? -- Speaking of, did he have any idea she was checking our of their relationship? Would be so fun!
For this movie, I would prefer to focus on the actual canon universe, but beyond that, go wild!
Thanks again for creating something for me! I know it'll be fantastic! I'm perfectlystill on AO3, perfectlystill on Letterboxd, and dkaluuyaegot on the app formerly known as Twitter.
I am open to extra gifts, and in that case you may ignore my preferences!
