Treats are fine, any medium.

Regarding shippiness, I'm down for anything from subtle to overt. Similarly, if I've requested &, no worries if things seem like they're drifting into shippy or sexual.

I have some song prompts! I've presented them without comment. The fun of song prompts for me is seeing how other people are inspired by them!

Felix & Dwight - Felix/Jill - Felix/Leon
Ace solo - Felix solo
Any Survivors & Any Survivors

Notes:

I love the bleakness of this setting, the oppressive and hopeless atmosphere, the unrelenting dread and torment. And how the survivors might carve out some solace for themselves amidst it all. I'm also all about the overwhelming power of the Killers compared to the Survivors and how oppressive it must be facing the Killers.

I also love all the Survivors and Killers, and would be thrilled to see any extras show up, even ones I didn't specifically request!

Something interesting about Ace is that while he's a grifter and a conman, two thirds of his perks are entirely team-focused. Up the Ante and Open-Handed are both about benefiting the team. So I like to read him as having a team player side. Still a grifter, but a grifter that will go to bat for his friends or who will maybe be good at reading the mood of the group and helping to keep spirits up, that kind of thing. Just a fun read I took from his perks!

Finally, I'm always on board for ~ * handwavy Entity reasons * ~ if you have a cool idea and need a way to make it work.

Prompts:

Felix or Ace: First time in a trial! How did they break him in? And/or first time at the Campfire, learning the true extent of his new horrible eternity.

Felix with Jill or Leon: Competence! Specifically, anything highlighting Jill and/or Leon's skill and competence in these kinds of horrific situations, especially given Felix's cushy life pre-Entity. So, Leon or Jill being protective and cool and Big Fucking Heroes! With Felix maybe providing some comfort or patching them up afterward!

Any Survivor(s): So we know there are cults around that worship the Entity, and I want the Survivors to encounter one of these cults! :D Before the Survivors were pulled into the realms or in an effort to escape or just because of handwavy Entity reasons, bring them face to face with an Entity cult!

Any Survivors: Hurt/comfort around the Campfire! Where the comfort is meager and weak because everyone is so very traumatized and wrung out and they have almost nothing left to give. :D Art-wise, I can picture characters huddled together, grim and haggard, taking whatever pitiful comfort they can from each other. :D

Any Survivors: Art or fic of any character interacting with, making, finding, burning, or using their offerings! Some of the offerings are so evocative or funny. Any kind of lore-focused piece on these would also be welcome. A few favorites: any of the shrouds, any of the various herbal/plant sachets, the wards, the wreaths, the coins, Bloody Party Streamers, any of the cakes.

tricks and treats

╰-°—✞—˚✧❨✧˚—✞—°-╯

Isaac/Ellie - Isaac/Carver - Isaac /& Jacob - Isaac/&Daina - Isaac & Stross

Notes:

Isaac getting beaten and menaced and tormented is the best thing ♥. I love watching him suffer, but I also love how he will NOT quit, and the crazy lengths he will go to make a thing happen. And then, on top of all that, he's always the one building other people up, keeping other people together, even when he's falling apart himself. And finally, I love those rare moments when he gets proper righteous angry. It doesn't happen often, but it is soooo cathartic when it does.

I love the eldritch, unknowable nature of the Markers/Moons and Isaac's relationship to them, how they're irrevocably a part of his life now and there's no escaping their touch on his mind. And I also loooove cults so I'm totally enamored with Unitology and how obsessed they are with Isaac and how it must be for him to be constantly be the object of their obsessions.

If you need to mess around with the circumstances of Norton's canonical death, or even ignore it entirely, go for it.

Prompts:

Any: What if, amidst Isaac's madness during his captivity, he carved Marker language into his own body? Or what if Stross did it to him? And he has to live with seeing it every day, and has to deal with the possibility of someone else seeing it. What happens when Ellie or Carver discover them? What if Daina or Jacob need the formulas and secrets Isaac inscribed upon himself? Art-wise, seeing Isaac with Marker scrawl scarring any part of him would be real dope. :D

Any: Running Up That Hill, by Placebo: https://youtu.be/d-mYX0qKkB8

Isaac with Daina or Stross: Unitology rituals on Titan! They had Isaac for three years. They knew he had intimate contact with the object of their worship. What did they put him through? I want to see ritualistic medical torture/mindfuck/experimentation! Religious rites combined with evil space science!

Isaac/Carver: Carver reading up on the intel EarthGov has on Isaac. He'd want to know who this guy is before encountering him right? Or something set further forward, after they've gotten to know each other better, and Carver has to square the person EarthGov SAID Isaac is with who Isaac actually is, because I'm guessing EarthGov didn't exactly give an accurate impression of Isaac. Carver put Isaac on the ground in two seconds flat at the start of the game—what made him think he had to bring that kind of heat?

Isaac/Carver: Carver's presence is criminally glossed over in so many cut scenes to make the single player campaign make sense...fill in some of that silence! Any scene that seems fun, go for it. What about when he and Isaac are literally trapped in a tiny cage together after Norton locks them both in?

╰-°—✞—˚✧❨✧˚—✞—°-╯

Adam/Koller- Adam/Miller - Adam/Pritchard

Notes:

Adam's iron woobie-ness is great, and one of my favorite things about the games is how they put him through hell but how he just keeps on surviving and enduring, but also while never losing his compassion. So any and all angst or suffering piled upon Adam is delightful.

The hardships heaped on augs are especially interesting to me, particularly when contrasting how Adam, Pritchard, or Koller react differently to them and also when contrasting the very different way society treats Miller versus Adam.

And I super love all the things unbalancing Miller/Adam. :D Age difference, the boss/subordinate thing, the vast social and class power difference, the vast physical power difference!

Prompts:

Any: Halloween office partyyy! At TF29 or SI, or Koller having a party at The Time Machine!

Any: Handcuffed together! Could be some kind of special aug restraint that even the augs can't break out of, so Adam just has to be attached to someone until a specialist or whatever can be found to free them. :D :D

Adam/Miller: Established relationship fic that gets into the headaches of hiding their relationship. Or failing to hide it because maybe someone finds them out! Maybe someone figures out what they're doing, or maybe someone comes to Miller to tell him that Jensen is acting shady, lol.

Adam/Koller, Pritchard: I would so enjoy getting to see Adam really laid out, badly injured, depowered maybe, his batteries drained, overclocked, etc. Anything so that Koller has to be there in his apartment fixing him and helping him out with even basic tasks for awhile!

Adam/Koller, Pritchard: Adam teaches Koller or Pritchard gun/knife/self defense skills!

Adam/Miller, Koller: An earthquake strands them in TF29 or underneath The Time Machine respectively!

╰-°—✞—˚✧❨✧˚—✞—°-╯

Gabe/Jack/Ana - Reaper/Baptiste - Genji/Mercy

Notes:

For Gabe/Jack/Ana, I'm most interested in pre-Overwatch or anytime before or during the collapse of Overwatch!

And I just love pretty much any angle on Genji/Mercy. I love that she asked him out first, I love that them having a relationship didn't solve all Genji's problems and he had to go off on his own and do a lot of work on himself. I love that Mercy in her personal life can be standoffish and kind of off-putting to people and how that's what kind of brought them together because Genji wasn't put off at all.

I absolutely ADORE the entire cast of characters, so anyone you want or need to include, bring them the heck on! ♥

Prompts:

Reaper/Soldier/Ana: Those tough, private conversations they must have had immediately post-Retribution. I'm guessing that what Gabe was willing to say in the debriefing is not necessarily what he was willing to say to them when they were alone.

Reaper/Soldier/Ana: Early/first encounters! Maybe during the soldier enhancement program, or during Gabe's time as THE hero of the Omnic Crisis, when he was just Soldier: 24. Or maybe Ana's first meeting with them. Was she aware of them at all before she joined Overwatch? Did she have a fleeting encounter with either of them previously at all?

Reaper/Baptiste: First encounter! When did they first meet and why? Did Reaper come in to salvage a mission gone wrong and end up saving Baptiste? Was Baptiste assigned as a medic for Reaper's unique condition? Was Baptiste just another nameless soldier in a squad meant to back Reaper up on a mission?

Reaper/Baptiste: Post-desertion! Baptiste has fended off every Talon hit squad that came after him so far...until Reaper shows up.

Genji/Mercy: Something set very early in their timeline when Genji is still in his angry stabby Blackwatch phase. Would love to see him trying to get his awkward bone on with this hot doctor who doesn't put up with his bullshit. ♥

Genji/Mercy: Genji helping Mercy practice her self defense skills!

Kaidan/Male Shepard - Male Shepard & Any Squadmates

Notes:

I have a custom Shepard that you're welcome to use for artwork if you like. Totally up to you! This is him!

While it would be nice if Kaidan were romanceable for both Shepards in ME1, I do absolutely love the slow burn aspect of his friendship with mShep, turning into an estrangement in ME2, and finally reconciliation and a deeper relationship in ME3. Honestly I wouldn't change a thing about it even if I could! So no need for fix-it for ME1, I like them just as is there!

Prompts:

Kaidan/Shep: Outsider perspective! Especially for a renegade Shepard with a dire reputation. Kaidan is a pretty staunch paragon, so what do people think about this mismatched pair? James probably had a few thoughts on Mars watching the two of them argue. Jack probably would have had an opinion! Maybe Dr. Chakwas? Anyone you think would have an interesting perspective on them, go for it!

Kaidan/Shep: Kaidan's POV on Horizon! Would be really cool to get into his head when he sees Shepard, especially if Shepard shows up with those renegade scars. It must have made things even worse, seeing Shepard look like that.

Kaidan/Shep: Kaidan's POV during the ME3 Citadel standoff with Shepard, or immediately after! That scene is so tense. What's going through his mind while he and Shepard have their guns pointed at each other? Or what about afterward, when he makes the decision to join the Normandy again. I would love something introspective on how he came to that decision.

Shep & Squadmates: Halloween on the Normandy! :D How do they wrench some holiday fun out of their harrowing existence? Who wears a costume? Who insists on being festive and who is getting begrudgingly dragged into the festivities?

Shep & Squadmates: After the ending of ME3! When they discover that Shepard actually survived! O:

Any: The Killer catches a survivor (or more than one), and is brutalizing them. One (or more) survivors have managed to hide very close by, and they have to listen to every second of it. Do they try to help? Keep hiding and try to muffle their sobs? Is the exit nearby and do they have to make a choice on whether to escape or help? Are they actually safe, or does the Killer know they are there and comes for them too in the end? For the brutalizing, go nuts. Get as bananas horrific as you please. Aside from my DNWs, everything's on the table here.

Any Survivors: Hurt/comfort around the Campfire! Where the comfort is meager and weak because everyone is so very traumatized and wrung out and they have almost nothing left to give. :D Art-wise, I can picture characters huddled together, grim and haggard, taking whatever pitiful comfort they can from each other. :D

Any: Someone encounters extensive video logs of everything the Unitologists did to Isaac in his three years of captivity. Isaac can be there to discover it with them or not. Shit, Norton could get access to them via his EarthGov connections. What would he do with them? Show them to Ellie or Carver?? And Daina or Jacob would be most interested in examining every second of them.

Any: Running Up That Hill, by Placebo: https://youtu.be/d-mYX0qKkB8

Isaac & Norton: Norton's strange and manic paranoia points to at least partial influence by the Marker to me. Take that up to eleven. Have him go full stalker killer on Isaac in those frozen, claustrophobic hallways on Tau Volantis. Involve Carver or not as you like!

Reaper/Soldier - Reaper/Soldier/Ana - Reaper/Baptiste
Maximilien & Anubis, Maximilien & Doomfist
Genji/Mercy

Notes:

God I love Max. The whole suave, luxurious, evil robot accountant vibe. And I'm interested in how he fits into Talon as well as how he might feel about common sentiments other omnics share. Like, what's his own internal relationship to his status as an omnic? To the place omnics have in society and to what went on during the war? Very interested in his whole internal world and any conflict or lack thereof he might have!

For Reaper/Soldier and Reaper/Soldier/Ana, I'm most interested in pre-Overwatch or anytime before or during the collapse of Overwatch!

And I just love pretty much any angle on Genji/Mercy. I love that she asked him out first, I love that them having a relationship didn't solve all Genji's problems and he had to go off on his own and do a lot of work on himself. I love that Mercy in her personal life can be standoffish and kind of off-putting to people and how that's what kind of brought them together because Genji wasn't put off at all.

Maximilien & Doomfist: Max finally facing the consequences of betraying Doomfist! Or doing what he does best and managing to talk/negotiate himself out of those consequences.

Maximilien & Doomfist: Art prompt! I want to see something just dripping in luxury. Doomfist must take time to enjoy all the resources at his disposal SOMEtime, right? I'm seeing champagne, jewels, expensive decor, a great view, and Doomfist in his formal attire!

Maximilien & Anubis: I could see where other omnics might consider Max a traitor to his own kind, so what if Anubis got Max within his reach? I'm guessing he would not be happy with Max, and his presence in Max's head would be pretty horrifying considering Anubis can override Max's free will. D:

Kaidan/Male Shepard

Notes:

I always use a custom Shepard, so avoidance of his canon physical description iwould be appreciated.

While I do wish Kaidan were romanceable for both Shepards in ME1, I do absolutely love the slow burn aspect of his friendship with mShep, turning into an estrangement in ME2, and finally reconciliation and a deeper relationship in ME3. Honestly I wouldn't change a thing about it even if I could! So feel free to lean in to all that!

Prompts:

Kaidan's POV on Horizon! Would be really cool to get into his head when he sees Shepard, especially if Shepard shows up with those renegade scars. It must have made things even worse, seeing Shepard look like that.

Any correspondence or fleeting encounters between Shepard and Kaidan post-Horizon and pre-ME3. Did either of them reach out or were they both mostly avoiding each other? Even if they were, they still ran in the same circles and would have to encounter each other some times!

Kaidan's POV during the ME3 Citadel standoff with Shepard, or immediately after! That scene is so tense. What's going through his mind while he and Shepard have their guns pointed at each other? Or what about afterward, when he makes the decision to join the Normandy again. I would love something introspective on how he came to that decision.

Kaidan clashing with a renegade Shepard over some ruthless action Shepard took! The contrast between Kaidan and a renegade Shep is so compelling. I want to see them clash a little bit!

General Prompts...for any fandom or characters!

- Masquerade - Maybe it's for some sort of mission, like infiltrating the enemy or some other organization, which would work great for Dead Space (could be a Unitology masquerade!). And for Overwatch, a masquerade is exactly the kind of event Maximilien would encounter or even host. And of course, it could always be a surreal nightmare masquerade! A grotesque pageantry, or something going on only in someone's mind. What pleasant or unpleasant surprises might be lurking behind the masks? For artwork I would LOVE some mask and costume design for any characters, which could be more in the romantic gothic horror tradition or more toward bloody, ghastly, and disturbing! :D

- Blackouts! The lights go out, it's now pitch black. How do things go? Do things get terrifying? Sexy? Terrifyingly sexy?? What put the lights out in the first place? Just a bad storm or did someone (or someTHING) cut the power?

- Character designs spookyfied or gothed up. Witch/cult versions, slasher versions, black lace, demonic versions, classic horror aesthetics, etc!

- Seven Devils, by Florence and the Machine: https://youtu.be/RLkGKkfmgjU

- Classic horror settings! Cornfields, haunted old mansions, creepy forests, ghost ships, abandoned asylums, remote cabins, medical labs, etc.! For art, I'm picturing characters just absolutely drowning in classic creepy environment tropes...standing in the fog of a dark forest, looking down a dim hallway staring into blackness, standing in the corn unaware of the glowing eyes behind them, etc.!

DEAD BY DAYLIGHT
(Dark Fantasy, Folk, Paranormal, Psychological, Religious, Survival, Violent)
.

Felix solo - Felix/Kate - Felix & Ace - Felix & Dwight
Kate solo - Kate/Jeff
Freddy & Pyramid Head - Freddy & Michael Myers - Freddy & Trapper - Freddy & Trickster - Freddy & Quentin
Trapper/&Kate - Trapper/&Felix - Trapper/&Dwight - Trapper & Trickster
Ghostface & Legion - Ghostface & Trickster
David/Dwight

Notes:

I'm really into the bleakness of this setting, the oppressive and hopeless atmosphere, the unrelenting dread and torment. And how the survivors might carve out some solace for themselves amidst it all. I'm also all about the overwhelming power of the Killers compared to the Survivors and how oppressive it must be facing the Killers.

I've requested a lot of Freddy. ♥ Please feel free to include or throw out any elements from the originals or the 2010 remake as you like. I LOVE the claw. The claw is everything.

I also love all the Survivors and Killers, and would be THRILLED to see any extras show up, even ones I didn't specifically request!

And Leon was announced after nominations ARGH. If you like, assume he is requested as well!

Prompts:

Felix: First time in a trial! How did they break him in? And/or first time at the Campfire, learning the true extent of his new horrible eternity.
- Horror types: Monster, Psychological, Survival, Violent

Any Survivor(s) - So we know there are cults around that worship the Entity, and I want one or more Survivors to encounter one of these cults! :D Before the Survivors were pulled into the realms or in an effort to escape or just because of handwavy Entity reasons, bring them face to face with an Entity cult!
- Horror types: Folk, Religious

Any: The Killer has caught a survivor (or more than one), and is brutalizing them. One (or more) survivors have managed to hide very close by, and they have to listen to every second of it. What do they do? Try to help? Keep hiding and try to muffle their sobs? Is the exit nearby and do they have to make a choice on whether to escape or help? Are they actually safe, or does the Killer know they are there and comes for them too in the end? For the brutalizing, go nuts. Get as bananas horrific as you please. Aside from the DNWs, everything's on the table here. For art, take this as a prompt for some lovingly crafted torture ♥
- Horror types: Monster, Survival, Violent

Any Survivors: Hurt/comfort around the Campfire! Where the comfort is meager and weak because everyone is so very traumatized and wrung out and they have almost nothing left to give. :D Art-wise, I can picture characters huddled together, grim and haggard, taking whatever pitiful comfort they can from physical contact.
- Horror types: Psychological, Survival

Any: Artwork or fic of any character interacting with, burning, or using their offerings! Some of the offerings are so evocative or funny. Some of my favorites: any of the shrouds, any of the various herbal/plant sachets, the wards, the wreaths, Bloody Party Streamers.
- Horror types: Dark Fantasy, Paranormal, Survival

Any Killers: I'm totally enamored with the idea of two or more of the Killers hunting together. Would love fic or art of this! Art-wise you could go the straight horror route or you could even do something cute or funny! For a story, I'm just so interested in how they'd get along! How successful or unsuccessful they might be at working together. Are the Legion total fans of Ghostface and spend their time with him quietly squeeing? Does Freddy think Trapper is just SO BORING UGH. :D And, of course, tag team torturing Survivors is always on the table!
- Horror types: Survival, Violent

Freddy & Quentin: Quentin's situation is just so uniquely horrible to me. Not only is he stuck here like everyone else, but he has to face <i>Freddy</i>, over and over, until he becomes an empty shell drained of all hope or humanity. D: Would be cool to see how he keeps going, or how he's unraveling.

DEAD SPACE
(Body, Cosmic, Medical, Psychological, Religious, Sci-Fi, Survival)
.

Isaac/Ellie - Isaac/Carver - Isaac /& Jacob - Isaac /& Daina - Isaac & Norton - Isaac & Stross - Isaac Clarke solo

Notes:

Isaac getting beaten and menaced and tormented is the best thing ♥. I love watching him suffer, but I also love how he will NOT quit, and the crazy lengths he will go to make a thing happen. And then, on top of all that, he's always the one building other people up, keeping other people together, even when he's falling apart himself. And finally, I love those rare moments when he gets proper righteous angry. It doesn't happen often, but it is soooo cathartic when it does.

Dead Space hits some fantastic horror elements for me. There's the Markers themselves, and I just love their eldritch, unknowable nature and Isaac's relationship to them, how they're irrevocably a part of his life now and there's no escaping their touch on his mind. And I also loooove cults so I'm totally enamored with Unitology and how obsessed they are with Isaac and how it is for him to constantly be under their power!

Feel free to mess around with the circumstances of Norton's canonical death if you like.

Prompts:

Any: What if, amidst Isaac's madness during his captivity, he carved Marker language into his own body. Or shit, what if STROSS did it to him? Now, he's got to live with seeing it every day. Or throw in Ellie or Carver and have them discover for the first time what he did to himself. And what if Norton caught a glimpse of them? He'd be VICIOUS about it. And for an entirely different direction, what if Daina or Jacob need the formulas and secrets Isaac inscribed upon himself?? Art-wise, seeing Isaac with Marker scrawl scarring any part of him would be pretty dope. :D
- Horror types: Psychological, Religious, Sci-fi

Any: Someone's got the extensive video logs of everything the Unitologists did to Isaac in his three years of captivity. What if Ellie or Carver come across them? And they get hit in the face with the living nightmare Isaac went through? The sadder and more horrific his torment was, the better. Isaac can be there to discover it with them or not. Shit, Norton could get access to them via his EarthGov connections. Does he use them to try and hurt Isaac? Show them to Ellie or Carver?? And Daina or Jacob would be most interested in examining every second of them.
- Horror types: Body, Medical, Psychological, Religious, Sci-fi

Any: Running Up That Hill, by Placebo: https://youtu.be/d-mYX0qKkB8
- Horror types: Any

Isaac &/ Carver, Ellie, Norton: Let someone else be under the Marker's sway, and let Isaac have to handle it. What does the Marker make them see? Make them do? How is their perception distorted? Where does it take them to and how does Isaac get them back from there? What would happen if Carver perceived Isaac as Damara, or Norton saw him as Ellie, or Ellie saw him as Stross??
- Horror types: Psychological

Isaac & Norton: Norton's strange and manic paranoia points to at least partial influence by the Marker to me. Take that up to eleven. Have him go full stalker killer on Isaac in those frozen, claustrophobic hallways on Tau Volantis. Involve Carver or not as you like!
- Horror types: Killer, Sci-fi, Survival

Isaac solo or Isaac /& Daina, Stross: Get into Isaac's time in captivity on Titan. What did they do to him? What was he going through mentally? Physically? Did he have any lucid periods? Or bring in Stross, as well. They built the Marker together. That is a truly singular experience to share with another person—what horrors did they endure together in that place? How did they sustained each other? And what was it like for Daina and the other Unitologists to have Isaac in their hands—a man who had such intimate contact with the object of their worship? For artwork, I'd be stoked to see any visual interpretations of the experiments they put Isaac through for those three years. Things were kept intentionally vague in-game—substantiate some of that mystery visually!
- Horror types: Body, Medical, Religious

Isaac solo: Get into Isaac's head and into his own relationship with the Markers, with the Brethren Moons, with whatever immense eldritch intelligence is moving these forces. I want to know what thoughts encroach when he doesn't have a survival situation to keep him busy. For fic this would very much be an introspective thing, but for artwork I'd love a visual representation of his madness and desperation!
- Horror types: Cosmic, Psychological

OVERWATCH
(Body, Killer, Psychological, Survival, Violent)
.

Maximilien & Anubis
Ana /& Slasher: 76 - D.Va /& Slasher: 76

Notes:

I've requested some Slasher: 76, so you can take a lot of liberties with that! In terms of any backstory or contrivances you'd need for a fic, I'm down for basically anything regarding him. For the characters I requested him with, I'd like if they're reasonably close to who and what they are in canon. Like, I'd want Ana to still be a sniper, or D.Va is still a famous gamer, etc., but you can definitely take them out of the world of Overwatch!

I absolutely ADORE the entire cast of characters, so anyone you want or need to include, bring them the heck on! Though just a reminder, no young Pharah please and thanks! (my kidfic DNW) Pharah in upper teens at least please if she's there! ♥

Prompts:

Slasher: 76 /& Ana - Ana is sent to track down and kill this menace! How do things go?? Does she succeed in taking him down? Does she lose completely?? Does she succeed, but not after he takes a piece out of her, either literally or figuratively? Bring her to his lair, maybe let her be a bit cocky before making her realize she's in serious trouble and this will not be as easy as she thought.
- Horror types: Killer, Survival, Violent

Slasher: 76 /& Any - The opposite of the above...home invasioooon~! And this could be their actual home, or a lovely remote cabin getaway, or he could even be terrorizing a bigger place like a resort they're at or a hotel or something. Slasher inflicting his terror on a place that should have been safe!
- Horror types: Killer, Survival, Violent

Slasher: 76 /& Any - For artwork, anything actiony or creepy is great! Violence is also good. I really like the glow of Slasher's eyes, so anything emphasizing that would be dope. Find some interesting uses for that weirdass chainsaw gun maybe? Anything with him brutalizing someone, really.
- Horror types: Killer, Violent

Maximilien & Anubis - I could see where other omnics might consider Max a traitor to his own kind, so what if Anubis got Max within his reach? I'm guessing he would not be happy with Max, and his presence in Max's head would be pretty horrifying considering Anubis can override Max's free will. D: Which means not only psychological horror, but potentially body horror as well since Anubis can physically MAKE Max do whatever he pleases. Make him sufferrrr.

[DEUS EX] . . . [OVERWATCH] . . . [EVIL WITHIN] . . . [XCOM]

Hellooo, thank you for checking out my letter! I've given a little detail on what I like about the prompts below, plus grouped a few together that seemed to go naturally with one another, but feel free to mix and match any of them!

General Likes:

Hurt/Comfort, size/strength/age/power differences, accidental/forced intimacy and proximity, loyalty, Catholic imagery or symbolism, possessiveness, protectiveness, spontaneous kink, competence, gore, body horror, medical horror, angst, fluff, mutual pining.

DNW:

Animal harm, major character death, kidfic or pregnancy, unrequited love, kink negotiation, AU, crack, any focus on urine, feces, vomit, or pus.

Deus Ex

Adam/Miller

Sugar Daddy - Multiple people accuse Adam of having a sugar daddy in canon. What if they saw him with Miller? Not only would it confirm the rumors, but I'd love to see Miller have to deal with the comments and the knowledge that this is how people are looking at the two of them! Plus it would make the mutual pining even harder for them to fend off!
Secret Relationship || Secret Relationship - Discovered by others - Would love to see what they have to go through to hide their relationship—or fail to hide it in the one case! So many characters would have great reactions to discovering them together. Mac, Chang, Smiley, Alex, and Sarif just to name a few!
Undercover as Master/Slave || Undercover as a Couple || Interclass Relationship || Fakeout Makeout - Undercover as master/slave would lay all KINDS of discomfort on them. And if undercover as a couple, they could face some bitter reminders of how differently the world views them.
Roommates - No Choice But to Be Roommates || Roommates to lovers - Could be Adam has to live with Miller for awhile, could be they have to stay in some other location like a safe house! Or maybe there's some sort of new aug law enforcement biochip meant to keep augmented officers kind of on a leash and it goes awry and Adam cannot move outside of ten feet from Miller without it shutting all his systems down, so he has to go live with him until the patch rolls out! :D
Masquerade Ball - Infiltration - Masks! Fancy costumes and formal wear! High society intrigue! What a great trope. Feel free to get more of the team involved, they're all welcome. Gasp, what if Adam runs into Page there? O: Clothing porn most welcome. This is a great prompt for art, too!
Jealousy/Possessiveness in Romantic/Sexual Relationships - I like the idea that Miller could get a touch possessive, and that Adam would probably snark at him about it. Looking for a lighter touch on this one, rather than like abusive levels of jealousy.
Dehumanization - I cannot get enough of people being dehumanizing to Adam in front of Miller. Miller could step in on his behalf or they could be in a situation where they just have to take it or even where Miller has to support it for some reason!
Sparring || Physical Fight Leading to Sex - Sparring, Kissing After Falling on/Straddling Another - I'm sure TF29 needs to make sure its agents are ready for close quarters and hand-to-hand combat with augs, and Adam is the perfect training tool! The appeal of these physical prompts, to me, is all the proximity and touching, the chance to see them get their hands on one another and see what that does to them. And with the sparring, I like the adrenaline and combativeness you can get, too.
Self-Esteem Issues - Honestly could see this in either or both directions. They're both so damaged in their own way and I do enjoy watching them fret about all the ways they may not be good enough! In particular I like Adam's issues with his own body image, and anything in the vein of Miller being surprised someone as young and as hot as Adam is actually interested in him is equally welcome.
Hurt/Comfort - Nightmare - Adam waking up in the middle of the night? Adam avoiding sleep because he knows what waits for him? Adam having a particularly bad run of nightmares because memories of his time on the surgery table after the attack on Sarif is hitting him hard at the moment?
Hurt/Comfort - grudging acceptance of comfort - Oh man, either one of them is great for this. Neither one of them likes to accept help. Good chance for one of them to have a stern talk about the other's worth, how they need to think more of themselves, that they're worth it, etc.
Pre-Canon One Night - Okay, I don't know how you'd manage it with them not having seen photos of each other by the time Adam makes it to Prague, but if there is a way, it would be fantastic to see them have to face each other after this! :D
Protection - Smaller/Weaker Character Physically Protects Injured Larger/Stronger Character - Maybe Adam is depowered? Maybe Miller is in a sniper perch and Adam is down there surrounded and injured and Miller has to take them out for him? Maybe it's simply on the streets of Prague and Adam is facing some angry state police or citizens and Miller has to put himself between them?

Adam/Koller

Friends to Lovers - Kind of a general one that can slot in with any of the others. One of the things I like about Adam/Koller is that potential for a friendship, something Adam doesn't have a whole lot of!
Protection - Character verbally defends someone who isn't standing up for themself || Under the Influence - Roofied by Stranger - Rescued by Love Interest || Big Damn Hero - These alllll stem from my desire to see Adam rescue Koller or stand up for him in some way! Mainly looking for Adam to be a stone cold badass on Koller's behalf!
secret softy || Dissimilar Characters Geeking Out Together Over A Surprise Shared Interest - I SO want to see the first time Koller realized Adam was not the frightening killer he probably seems to be at first glance. Unlike a layman, Koller would know exactly what those augs can do. Adam must have been pretty scary to him at first!
Handcuffed Together || Sharing a Bed - Turns into more || Sharing a Bed - Unplanned || Roommates - No Choice But to Be Roommates || Roommates to lovers - I grouped all these together just because this prompt hits literally all of them, but of course any are welcome separate or with another idea you might have! Anyway, the prompt is that Koller is testing some kind of aug restraint, he and Adam get latched together with it, and now they're stuck together! Showers, sleeping, they have to do it all while attached to each other! I especially like the idea of Koller having to go to Adam's apartment because then you get the added bonus of someone in Adam's space, which he's not used to.
Fakeout Makeout || Undercover as a Couple - Adam needs someone to help maintain his cover? They have to infiltrate an aug-only space?
Clubbing - What I love most about the potential in this setting is the pounding music, the press of bodies, the haze of smoke and sex. Could also be the Red Queen, which opens up even more possibility, like private rooms and an even more sexually-charged atmosphere.
Kissing After Falling on/Straddling Another Person - I just love this trope, it's especially good for getting people like Adam physically into someone else's space!
Hurt/Comfort - Bathing || Hurt/Comfort - Fainting || Hurt/Comfort - undressing || Hurt/Comfort - Wound Care - I would so enjoy to see Adam really laid out, badly injured, depowered maybe, his batteries drained, overclocked, etc. Anything so that Koller has to be there in his apartment helping him out 24/7 for awhile!
Getting Together - Falling In Love While A Teaches B a New Skill - Adam teaches Koller gun/knife/self defense skills, it turns sexy!

Adam/Mac

Sudden Realization - Oh No They're Hot - I really want Mac to have this kind of moment over Adam, I think it would be both hilarious and hot.
Sexual Teasing Leads to Turnabout Is Fair Play - I can absolutely see them playing a game of sexual chicken where neither one is willing to be the one who backs down first!
Friends With Benefits - Maybe sneaking around so no one can find out? With plenty of bickering? And maybe some inconvenient feelings in the mix?
Physical Fight Leading to Sex - Sparring || Sparring - I love the idea of Adam being the training prop for the whole team! Mac needs to know how to fight an aug, and Adam's the perfect sparring partner.
Adrenaline Fueled Make-out - I feel like you could combine this with the sparring prompts, too, but it would also be great post-mission!
Under the Influence - Getting Drunk Together || Drinking Games - I think they're on their way to being able to hang out with each other like this in canon! I could totally see them heading to a bar, either alone or with the team. Drink is had, words are said, Mac maybe gets a little handsy...
Roommates - No Choice But to Be Roommates || Roommates to lovers - Would love to see them forced into the same space in such an intimate way! Maybe with the prompt I mentioned for Miller, in which some control device for Adam goes wrong and he then must stay within a certain range of Mac, but of course I will love any and all excuses for making them room together!
Undercover as a Couple || Fakeout Makeout - Fantastic way to get the ball rolling with these two. I could see either or both of them laying it on real thick just to troll the other one!
Jealousy/Possessiveness in Romantic/Sexual Relationships - NGL, I'm kinda digging Mac being possessive, even in a friends with benefits situation, and Adam going along with it because it's pretty hot.
Dehumanization || Protection - Character verbally defends someone who isn't standing up for themself - Mac strikes me as the type who would not allow outsiders to talk to Adam even half as badly as Mac himself talks to him!
Distracted Sex - While on the Phone - Nyahaha, Adam and Mac could be boning, right? And Adam gets a call on his infolink (Miller? Sarif? Pritchard?) and Mac has fun trying to make Adam give away what they're doing and Adam has to try and hold it together with this person he's talking to while Mac has his fun. :D
Hurt/Comfort - In an Isolated Location || Canadian Shack - I'm liking the notion of getting them away from everyone and everything else. I think they'd have to deal with each other in a way they don't usually have a chance to because there's always someone else or something else that requires their focus. This way, they could have each other's undivided attention.
Hurt/Comfort - undressing - Get 'em naked! :D
Pre-Canon One Night Stand - Ohhh this one is cruel for these two. Just imagine the two of them coming face to face at their first official meeting! I think it combines well with a lot of the other prompts as well.

OVERWATCH

Reaper/Soldier . . . Reaper/Soldier/Ana

Clubbing || Undercover as Bodyguard/Client || Undercover as a Couple - Infiltration and undercover in a club perhaps? Maybe two of them could be undercover as a couple and the third could be posis their bodyguard! Headcanons about who would actually go to a club, who is comfortable there and who is uncomfortable there most welcome.
Back-To-Back Badasses - Ahhh, all their skills compliment each other so well! I would love to see them facing down the odds together.
Dancing Lessons || Dancing - Slow Dancing - :D :D :D Who's teaching who?? I cannot think of a combination here that I would not adore, surprise me! Or pretty artwork of them dancing maybe? :D
Friends With Benefits - Could see it either for the pair or the trio!
Handcuffed Together - Could be just Gabe/Soldier, could be all three, OR could be any two of them while the third enjoys watching them try to navigate their predicament!
Drinking Games - Again, would love headcanons here on who can hold their liquor and who can't. Plus it's a great way to get them to cut loose and relax and see how they are outside of work.
Fanservice - Torn clothing! People caught out half naked! Pin ups! Tight clothing!
Masquerade Ball - Infiltration - What an amazing trope for fic or art! Who's wearing what? Who is right at home in the setting and who feels out of their element? Any other members of the team also welcome!
Physical Fight Leading to Sex - Sparring || Sparring - Just as all their skills compliment each other really well, so too are they uniquely vulnerable to each other in various ways. You've got a close, mid, and long range specialist right here. Maybe the other two need to keep their hand-to-hand skills up and there's no better than Gabe to practice against. Maybe there's a bet in place? Maybe one of them unexpectedly gets the upper hand? Maybe they've been pining for awhile and all the physical contact finally sends them over the edge?
Sexual Teasing Leads to Turnabout Is Fair Play || Workplace Sex - Yep, I could see this in any combination. Reaper and Soldier especially I could see a friendly rivalry spilling over into this!
Vacation - Gone Wrong || Trapped together - snowed in - Seeing them out in a completely different setting than the watchpoints or out of the field would be such a treat. Who has trouble relaxing out on vacation? Who is pressuring the other(s) to relax? Who's looking sexy in a hot tub and enticing the other(s) in?

Genji/Mercy

Bathing - Bath Sex - Shower, bathtub, hot tub, even a pool...all excellent choices!
Big Damn Hero || Protection - Larger/Stronger Character Physically Protects Smaller/Weaker Character - I saw this clip once of Mercy being frozen by Mei, and her Genji swift striking in right in front of her and deflecting the icicle away right before it could kill her and that's the kind of thing that was on my mind for these tropes! Basically Genji being a heroic badass for Mercy! One thing I love about them is Genji's past as a ruthless killer (like in his Blackwatch days) and how he might use those skills in a more positive way, to save her.
Charity Auctions - One Date || Charity Auctions - "Slave" for a Day - Mercy is in a charity auction, and Genji surprises her by bidding and winning her! I think this one is particularly fun if they're not in an established relationship yet.
Clothing Damage || Handcuffed Together || Kissing After Falling on/Straddling Another Person - What I love about these is that they're all perfect ways to get them to face their feelings if they've been pining or flirting for awhile! They could be ways to make them acknowledge just how powerfully they are attracted to one another!
Getting Together - Falling In Love While A Teaches B a New Skill || Physical Fight Leading to Sex - Sparring - Genji teaching Mercy some advanced self defense or knifework, or just insisting that she needs to spar on the regular to keep her skills sharp, and it turns into more!
One carrying the other - While the other is injured/sick/unconscious || One carrying the other - Bridal/Princess Style - I love this one as an artwork prompt! And I think it could be Genji or Mercy being the one who'd carried, too.
Pining - Believes themself unworthy of their love - This one hit me for Genji, given everything he's been through and how he feels about himself. He's in a good place now, in the current day of the game, but he clearly went through a time when he felt bad about his past, and also a time when he struggled to accept the changes to his own body.
Touch-Starved - Genji! I could see him going through a long period post-cyborg body where he was not touched for quite awhile.
Trapped together - snowed in - Looking for something ultimately cozy and indulgent! Firelight and isolation and just the two of them with no one to bother them and nowhere to go. ♥

The Evil Within

Sebastian/Ruvik

Badass in Distress || Hurt/Comfort - Comforter is the One Who Hurt Them || Physical Fight Leading to Sex || Physical Fighting Leads to Making Out || Torture || torture aftermath || Obsessive Love - Love to Hurt You - I quite simply cannot get enough of Ruvik's fixation on Sebastian, and how that fixation expresses itself in torment and torture. Lean into how fucked up it is, I'm all on board for Ruvik communicating his feelings through inflicting pain. Something taking place at any point in the timeline is welcome. Early in Ruvik's fascination, when he's more just playing with Seb? Much later, after Sebastian has been given intimate knowledge of Ruvik's life? Likewise, I welcome a more balanced encounter where Sebastian has the resources to fight back or a situation where Ruvik is entirely in control.
Bonding Over Shared Trauma - Maybe they had a quiet, raw moment amid all the carnage where they commiserated briefly over fire and loss?
Clubbing - Post-game, Seb has tracked Ruvik-in-Leslie's-body and it has lead him to some club where Ruvik has been hiding out and victimizing people? I'm just really digging the possibility of seeing Ruvik in this setting. It's so different from anything in the game or anything he's experienced before.
Identity Porn - Identity Reveal || Identity Porn - Secret Identity - Ruvik poses as Leslie to get close to Sebastian or even to get intimate with him! Post-game maybe? Anything underscoring Ruvik's fixation and hang-up on Seb in particular is great.
Jealousy/Possessiveness in Romantic/Sexual Relationships - Ruvik-in-Leslie's-body stalking Seb post-game? Maybe getting possessive when he sees Stefano giving Seb so much attention?
Masquerade Ball - Yesssss, a grotesque masquerade within the serial killer mindscape that is Ruvik's STEM!! Give me the masquerade from Labyrinth, but cast in all of this horror and mind rape and obsession and pain! Bring in any other characters you like, either the actual characters or just their visages to haunt Sebastian. Oooh, this one could pair well with the identity porn prompts, too. Good opportunities to use the Leslie body stealing element, too, which is one of my favorite things. AND it's a great prompt for artwork, too!
Roaring Rampage of Rescue - I would love to see Ruvik go bananas homicidal to save Sebastian. Maybe from Stefano?
Villain Wins || Villain Wins - Working for/with Villain || Never Be the Same Again - After Character Survived Their Adventures/Ordeal - Turn Seb into a broken, worshipful creature in a post-canon world under Ruvik's control. Or have them working together against Mobius!

XCOM

Bradford . . . Bradford/Commander

Back-To-Back Badasses || Battle Couple - Bradford out there with the Commander's avatar, getting shit done!
Badass in Distress - I just love seeing Bradford in trouble, maybe pinned down by gunfire, maybe stranded alone and having to take down a bunch of enemies by himself! Or maybe getting strangled by a Viper! Or captured!
Clothing Damage || Covered with Scars || Fanservice - Bradford got so hot with his older character model in the second game! :D Sexy artwork most welcome. Fic-wise, how about some young rookies getting a glimpse of a half-naked Bradford and getting all hot and bothered for him??
Drinking Games || Team Bonding - He never gets to have fun. Let him have fun. (But not too much. Some grumbling angst is always on the table for Bradford!)
Everyone Thinks They're Together || Everyone Thinks They're Pining || Secret Relationship - Any glimpse into what the rumor mill THINKS is going on with Bradford and the Commander versus what is actually going on is welcome! I never did settle on an appearance or gender for my Commander, so feel free to surprise me!
Loyalty - Rescue - Bradford's loyalty and faith in the Commander is definitely a huge draw to the pairing for me. Maybe go into the moment he realized the Commander was still alive? The emotional upheaval of that and Bradford's determination to get them back? Or maybe the immense relief after the rescue and after it's clear that the Commander will be okay, those hours or days Bradford spent by their bedside waiting for them to wake up.
Overworker - Burning the Candle at Both Ends || Whump - Suffering looks so good on Bradford!
Physical Fight Leading to Sex - Sparring || Sparring - He and the Commander could spar, or he could even spar with the avatar! Or if not a pairing scenario, he could be sparring with some of his soldiers (and maybe they're distracted because some of them have got it bad for their CO.)
Power Outage - Great prompt, so filled with potential! Could be tense or light-hearted even, Bradford stumbling around in the dark but not in a dire scenario. Could be on the Avenger or could be part of an ambush in a downed UFO or in some warehouse!
Torture - Video Shown to Friends - Maybe Bradford was captured at some point and the aliens kept a record of everything they did to him and someone in the crew or even the Commander happens to come across those videos. D:
