Dear Trick or Treater
Thanks for making something for me! I have a bunch of prompts here, but you should absolutely not feel limited to these ideas. If you have any ideas of your own you'd prefer, go for it. Anything that does not include the below Do Not Wants is fine.
Do not want: things listed under 'treats' options getting used as tricks, necrophilia (except in case of "Like Real People Do" fusion as mentioned below, I guess, but even then I'm not there for dead body sex), guro sex, cannibalism, scat, fisting, zombies, one character being the sole survivor of their group, anyone getting [insert verb here] to death, extreme underage.
For most canons I'd love a supernatural slant to tricks, except Fullmetal Alchemist (aside from how alchemy is already fairly magic, people have conversations with Truth, souls definitely exist and all that). For FMA I'd prefer tricks to use or expand on awful, heart-breaking, weird moments that happen in the story or would be fitting in the scope of the story and to avoid e.g. werewolves, aliens invading.
General possibilities for tricks or treats, for any of my fandoms:
- A character is taken over by the Venom symbiote (in its classic screechy pseudo goo-demonoid form) from Marvel. I'm into this for the body horror weirdness, and possible cracky humour depending on how well or poorly the symbiote would fit the tone of the chosen canon, more than for strict adherence to canon about Venom.
- Beauty and the Beast fusion. Disney, folk tale, reimagining or reinterpreting the story - all cool.
- Art-specific treats: characters with a Pokemon team. Characters in giant fluffy jerseys.
- Crossovers between any of these canons would be fun. I've listed a few that I'd particularly like to see in some prompts, but any canons would be good.
- Fusion with the song "Like Real People Do" by Hozier, where necromancy goes romantic. Lyrics, Youtube.
- Monster women. Not in a sex-world set-up way, but canon female characters as supernatural monsters.
Yu-Gi-Oh! (art or fic)
Mai Valentine, Valon, Alister, Critias, Hermos, Timaeus, Mutou Yuugi, Yami Yuugi, Pegasus J. Crawford, Kaiba Seto, Kisara, Yami Bakura, Bakura Ryou
I know the canon from over a mishmash of sources, so any incarnation of it that you want to use is fine.
Treats: I am particularly invested in fluff/happy endings/fix-its for Kisara, Bakura, Kaiba (and Mokuba), and Pegasus. Reunion between former enemies who now learn they can get along. Dragon rides. Badass posing (dramatic coat-flapping winds for everyone!).
Tricks: Millennium Item spirits messing with their hosts' perceptions (whether on purpose or accidentally). Yami Yuugi's time trapped in the Puzzle. Going to the world of darkness/Shadow Realm. Losing to one of the big bads. Yami Bakura making his way through the ages inside the Ring. Mai post-Battle City, in the mindset where she's getting closer to the DOOM set-up sounding like a good idea.
Trick or treat? Characters' favourite cards/decks, and what they say about the characters. A letter from Bakura to Amane. Things the Millennium Eye has allowed Pegasus to see. Kisara backstory.
Relationships: nearly any ship between the characters on this list (and if you want to add Rishid or Thief King Bakura, they're some of my fandom bikes). Exceptions: I'm not into Yami Bakura/Yami Yuugi or Kaiba/Yami Yuugi, and I'd prefer the Legendary Knights with each other though I'm not opposed to their getting shipped around. Pegasus/Cecilia. Yuugi and/or Yami Yuugi & Sugoroku. Animeverse Otogi/Pegasus. Mai/Jounouchi. Raphael/Yami Yuugi. Mai/Harpie Ladies.
Ant-Man (art or fic)
Hank Pym, Hope Van Dyne, Jim Paxton, Maggie Lang, Scott Lang, Cassie Lang, Dave, Kurt, Luis
Treats: Dave, Kurt, and/or Luis babysitting Cassie (and the pet ant). More family bonding with Scott at the Paxton household. Luis narrating any damn thing. Hank and Hope getting to know each other again. Janet popping back out from the atomic ether. As per implications in the Ant-Man stinger scene, Scott helping take care of Bucky (in the most hilarious possible way, also probably involving a lot of waffles).
Tricks: The team is part of the Infinity Wars fight against Thanos. Darren wins.
Trick or treat? Any character's backstory. Crossover with Guardians of the Galaxy. Luis is picked as the new Ant-Man instead of Scott. Kurt accidentally hacks Ultron (or at least some of the robo army bodies) and might or might not be equipped to deal with this. Instead of ants, Hank/Hope/Scott commune with...
Relationships: No Maggie/Scott, no incest, and otherwise I'd love anything. Also creepy Hope/Darren or Darren/Hank.
Gunnerkrigg Court (art or fic)
Andrew "Smitty" Smith, Antimony Carver, George Parley, Katerina Donlan, Ysengrin
Treats: Parley, Andrew and Antimony all being Forest/Court go-between buds. Ysengrin & Annie hanging out. Andrew and Parley going through the Meet the Parents stage.
Tricks: the Kat/angel/robot religion issue leads to something drastic. Horrifying Ysengrin & Coyote interaction. Annie just can't be human any longer.
Trick or treat? Parley dealing with Jeanne. Werewolves. More uses for Andrew's and Parley's powers. Kat getting lost in creation, whether something innocuous, good, or something like the Love Boat Whale. More of Annie's time at the hospital.
Relationships: Parley/Andrew. Annie & or / Kat. Paz/Kat. Annie & her parents.
Guardians of the Galaxy (art or fic)
Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Groot, Kraglin Obfonteri, Nebula, Peter Quill, Rocket Raccoon, Yondu Udonta
Treats: Guardians team bonding. Nebula and Gamora reconciling (or at least taking steps towards it). Ravager bonding. Dancing. The Guardians enjoying feeling like heroes every now and then (especially Gamora). Stories behind Yondu's dashboard critters.
Tricks: Inspired by the GOTG cartoon's first episode: Knowhere somehow comes to life. The second movie prelude comic has the lines "Welcome, space traveller, to The Hub. You can trade anything here... Tech, cargo, even your last breath if you talk to the right black market oxygen runner" - I'd love something based around that "last breath" bit. Strange things were released when the Collector's zoo/personal prison blew up. Nebula getting subjected to her modifications.
Trick or treat? Also inspired by the GOTG cartoon: the characters encounter sudden alien tentacles (at any levels of consent). Crossover with Ant-Man. Yondu whistling creepy tunes - just joking, or a serious threat? Groot pulling a new ability out of his selection of tricks. Nebula/Gamora D/s with Nebula domming.
Relationships: any ship between any of the listed characters. Peter & Meredith. Ronan/Nebula. Drax/Hovat & Kamaria. Thanos & Nebula and/or Gamora.

Treats: Stephen Black growing into his role as king. H/c for Arabella post-book. Any AU.
Tricks: Dancing in Lost Hope. What it's like in Hell (and why the Raven King would have property there).
Trick or treat? Poor Segundus keeps being so low-key unlucky that I want to see things go strongly one way or the other for him, so mess him up once and for all or have something go awesomely for him. Childermass's past, as laid out in his tarot reading. The continued development of magic now that it has returned. Coffee shop AU. John Uskglass POV, especially during his rise to power. Hijinks on the Childermass & Vinculus road trip. ...for some reason I want something where Emma Pole becomes a spy (especially if in the canon time period).

Trick or treat? Xanxus's hair decoration is a talisman and makes something happen. Hana getting more involved in Vongola business. There's omake information in manga volume 19 that Xanxus has never had a conversation with any Varia member except for Levi, and I would love fic about that completely hilarious idea. Hibari being inexplicable and everyone else wondering what is actually up with him; is there a truth; can there ever be a truth. Unexpected upsides/ downsides of anyone's superpowers. More time travel. Characters have to go on the run. Any meeting between characters who didn't get to interact much or at all in canon.

Treats: Max's plan works and a bizarre, terrifying, but happy vampire family ensues. Characters rocking out (oiled half-naked saxophonists optional but welcome). Happy post-movie setting with Laddie & Star (and maybe Laddie's family) invited around to hang out with the Emersons.
Tricks: The Lost Boys turn on Max once and for all. Max inducting the Boys into vampirism. Laddie, Star, and/or Michael having weird vampire side-effects post-movie. The Boys making more use of their powers to affect human perception.
