chocolate box 2019!

[kissoffools]

Dear Chocolatier...

Hi there! I am kissoffools, and I am so excited about Chocolate Box this year!

This year, I'm requesting fic from 5 different canons - all of which I've requested in the past, and never received! Someday my fic will come, and all that. I haven't been able to let any of these requests go, so I figure, why not try again with all of them? I tried to keep things simple, but hopefully there's enough information to run with it! I never know how to prompt for art, so I haven't requested it, though I do love it and would love art treats if you happen to be so inclined!

I've listed some prompts below for each canon, so go with whatever inspires you. I love holidays, so if you'd like to involve Valentine's Day in any way, go for it! If you're looking for any tropes, I love "woke up married", secretly dating, fake dating, unrequited love, soulbonding, road trips, codependence, and end of the world. So if my prompts below don't do much for you, you can run with one of these. Basically, I'd really just love something for any of these ships - make it cute, make it romantic, make it angsty, make it sexy... your call!

Also, I'm totally on board with fics rated G all the way up to E. Whatever strikes your fancy. If you feel like writing smut, anything with a little bit of teasing, dirty talk, praise kink, or overstimulation is right up my alley. But of course, porn isn't necessary if it isn't your thing!

My DNWS: noncon/rape, vore, bloodplay, and scat. I'm also not into crossovers, crackfic, or non-canon character death. Avoid those things, and I'll be thrilled with whatever you come up with!

Okay, here we go! This will probably not be overly brief. Apologies in advance.

BUZZFEED: WORTH IT (WEB SERIES)
Andrew Ilnyckyj/Steven Lim
Oh man, I love these two!! I've been watching Worth It ever since they started making them (actually, back when it used to briefly be Steven and Keith!), and I've always enjoyed the videos. But it wasn't until I went back and last year that I fell head over heels for the dynamic between Andrew and Steven - and oh man, I ship them so hard! Steven's excited, bouncy, upbeat personality next to Andrew's grumpy, punny schtick is just too good. And I especially love that Andrew plays grumpy and unwilling, but he grins at Steven too and you can tell that it's just an act and that the two of them are really close. I love that dynamic and I want to see them fall in love!! Steven came right out and mentioned having no experience with sex in the fried chicken video, and there are so many places you could run with that. Or just with Andrew being slowly but surely worn down by overeager Steven, who's maybe had a crush on him all along! Are there plenty of Worth It fics like this already? Yes. Do I want more? Yes. I do have to say that I really prefer the pining/sexual tension/getting together dynamic for them rather than the established relationship dynamic - but honestly, I'd just love more with these two!

+ Has Worth It really just been a giant ploy of Steven's to get Andrew to fall in love with him? Has each episode just been Steven taking Andrew on a bunch of dates? (I mean, look at them drinking wine in Australia. That shit is a date.)

+ What about Steven is it that starts to get under Andrew's skin? How does Andrew start to fall for him?

+ Does Steven's revelation that he doesn't have experience with sex get Andrew's mind working? What if they start dating and Andrew's really focused on respecting Steven's choice, while Steven's really just focused on getting de-virginized by Andrew?

+ With Steven now living in New York, what challenges do they have, planning Worth It from two coasts? Is it harder than Andrew ever expected, living apart from Steven?

LEGALLY BLONDE - HACH/O'KEEFE/BENJAMIN
Emmett Forrest/Elle Woods
This musical has held a special place in my heart for years! I absolutely love how they adapted the movie into the show - Elle is still the girl with the wonderful heart and amazing character arc, and I love that they beefed up Emmett's role and made him more of a real character, too. I am dying for fic with Elle and Emmett! Their relationship in the musical is one of my favourites - they feel like a pair of people who are really falling for each other, which you don't always get with canon romances. I love that their relationship was born out of friendship, first and foremost! That Emmett was the only person at Harvard to treat Elle kindly, even though she was unusual to him... ah, my heart. I love that they both come from a background where they had to prove their worth, and that the show gives us little moments where they bond and grow closer. Most of all, I love that Emmett always lets Elle be her own person. He suggests things, or gives her ideas and nudges, but he never takes over and does things for her. And I love that Elle has things to teach him, too, and helps him change for the better as well. They're the best!

+ What happens between Elle rejecting Warner's proposal and Elle proposing to Emmett? Two years pass during that time. Do they hit any snags as they transition from friendship to being a couple? What are the different milestones in their relationship like?

+ Emmett and Elle both help each other grow as people. I'd love to see more of that! Are there more instances where she teaches things to Emmett, like how to dance or network?

+ Elle and Emmett planning their wedding! Is Elle all about the details, and Emmett has to keep reining her in because her ideas are too unrealistic? Or maybe Emmett gets so focused on every last little thing being perfect (so they get their money's worth?) and Elle has to get him to chill and not take things so seriously? What's a cake tasting like with the two of them?

MAMMA MIA! (MOVIES)
Donna Sheridan/Bill Anderson
Donna Sheridan/Harry Bright
Donna Sheridan/Sam Carmichael
The Mamma Mia! universe is just so fun. I adore the 2008 movie (and the stage show), but the 2018 sequel just took the cake for me. Donna in the 1970s was just everything. The sequel's flashbacks had a lot to prove - after all, we had to see why Donna fell for (and slept with) three men so close together that she couldn't tell which one was the father of her baby. And we had to see what it was about Donna that made three men find her irresistible! And the movie completely delivered. The young versions of Harry, Bill, and Sam were delightful... and young Donna was captivating. Even though those flashbacks played it a little fast and loose with canon details, it provided absolutely delightful and heartfelt backstory for the characters I already knew and loved. How could I have asked for anything more?! And, honestly, I want to live in that 1970s backstory. So please, if you're at all so inclined, do so in fic form! I loved the scenes with Young Donna and all three of the young men, and would love more with any one of them!

+ More of Donna's day in Paris with Harry. How did they go from the headbump-kiss in the restaurant to sleeping together? What was their sex really like? What if Harry actually did make it to the island when he followed her there? What if Donna was the first person Harry came out to, and she helped him talk through his sexuality/be his support?

+ More of Donna's boat adventures with Bill. Were there any missing moments when he took her over to the island that we didn't get to see? What made him worry about her and come back? How did the rest of their time together go?

+ More of Donna falling in love with Sam. They were together on the island for a week, after all, and we only saw a small bit of it. What was the rest of that week like? What other things did they do together?

+ And, if you felt like dabbling in all three of them - what was the sex like with each of them? How were they different and how did they make her feel? Did she ever think of them as the years went by?

NEIGHBORS | BAD NEIGHBOURS (MOVIES)
Pete Regazolli/Teddy Sanders
I really, really enjoy these movies - especially the dynamic between Pete and Teddy! I love how deeply the two of them love each other - they are the best of friends, they're brothers, and they both take that so seriously. They were great in the first film, but somehow got even better in the sequel. And I'd love more about them! The sequel gave us so much - Pete being revealed as gay, Teddy growing up and working towards becoming an adult, Pete getting engaged and Teddy having to come to terms with it, Teddy finding a career for himself as a gay men's wedding planner. Seriously, everything about these two in this movie is amazing. Even though Pete's heading down the aisle at the end of the second film, I love how they're practically in love themselves. I'd love to see fic that works with the new canon that the sequel gave us! Especially Teddy planning Pete's wedding - or, hell, just Teddy planning gay weddings in general. I love that it's his calling and that all his clients totally want to bang him, and that's part of why it's all going so well. Basically, I just want to see these two falling in love and getting together (in the wake of Pete's wedding??)! Feel free to run wild with unrequited feelings, jealousy, infidelity if you want, accidental hookups, unknowingly falling in love, and pining - oh, I want so much pining for these two!

+ Teddy is planning Pete's wedding! What if Teddy is secretly in love with Pete, and planning the wedding is eating him up inside?

+ What if Pete starts to have second thoughts the closer his wedding date gets? Does he try to keep them hidden, or does he decide that he just needs one more wild night of freedom?

+ Teddy becomes a super successful gay wedding planner. How does Pete feel when he realizes that so many of Teddy's clients want to fuck him?

+ You could also go all the way back to the beginnings of their friendship, if you wanted. How was their first meeting? What did they think of each other? How did they go from acquaintances to besties? Did Teddy have anything to do with Pete discovering his own sexuality?

SMASH (TV)
Sam Strickland/Tom Levitt
The fact that Smash didn't let Tom and Sam be happy together is one of that show's greatest tragedies!!! Tom had all kinds of issues with relationships and commitment, and Sam was so good for him, I thought. Sam helped make him more grounded and honest, and he just felt real in a world of very heightened theater personalities. And if you ask me, Tom needed that! I loved their connection in Season 1, when they were flirting and helping to take care of Ivy and falling for each other. They were adorable. And then Tom ruined it. :( And then Tom was so excited when Sam came back in Season 2 - so excited he was ready to completely restructure Bombshell just so that Sam could be a part of it and he could stay in town!! But of course that couldn't happen, and everything just fell apart again. And my heart broke. And I would just really love to see fix-it for these two! Maybe they run into each other again a couple years later, at a bar or something, and they work on putting things back together. Or maybe Sam's return in Season 2 goes a lot differently than it did in the show. I really just want to see these two figure their shit out so that they can be together for real!

+ What if Sam's return from the Book of Mormon tour went a lot differently than it did in canon?

+ What if Tom missed Sam while he was away, and took a break from Bombshell to go out and visit him in whatever city his tour was in?

+ What if they run into each other in New York, some time later, and their feelings are still there? Are they able to put things back together?

+ What if something happens with Ivy to force Tom and Sam to team up again to help her, and feelings blossom through that?

Well, I think that's it. Thank you so very much, Chocolatier! I know my prompts may not be easy - if you don't feel you can write what I've asked for, you're more than welcome to employ ODAO. Seriously, if all else fails, write any of these characters kissing on Valentine's Day and I'm on board. I'm not very hard to please - I promise. Best of luck with your writing!!

Sincerely, kissoffools
