Chocolate Box Letter 2019
Dear Chocolatier,
Thank you so much for writing/drawing one of these fandoms! I love all the pairings requested here, so if you already have something in mind and want to go ahead and write or draw that, I'm really open for anywhere you'd like to go with them. But as always, I love getting a chance to flail about the things I’ve requested, so if you'd like a non-exhaustive guide to what I love about these characters and some of the things I'd like to see in fic or art, here is my letter. I really hope there’s something here that inspires you, and that you have an amazing exchange!

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Fanfiction, Fanart
Agatha/Dorcas/Prudence Night/Sabrina Spellman
I adore all the fairy tale vibes in this OT4: Sabrina makes such an adorable fledgling witch, and I love everything about Agatha, Dorcas and Prudence as wicked orphan sisters. Sabrina embracing the Weird Sisters as her witch clique at the end of s1 was a total delight, and I'd love to see anything that pushes her towards some kind of creepy-cute triptych romance with all of them.
Prompts:• Anything about how the Weird Sisters get together with Sabrina. Prudence imperiously they're all going to be girlfriends now? Dorcas luring her in with creepy poetry and fluttery eyelashes? Sabrina trying to make things right with Agatha after her bumpy resurrection and catching feelings? All the Weird Sisters striking at once, or Sabrina launching herself headfirst at all of them?
• Any kind of triple drabble/sketch sequence that gives Sabrina a scene alone with each Weird Sister (and looks at the differences in their relationships?).
• Witchy courtship rituals, wild nights in the forest, spooky ceremonies with candles and ribbons -- anything that exploits the whole aesthetic of the show for shippy moments.
• Agatha, Dorcas and Prudence giving Sabrina her Weird Sister makeover.
• Sabrina goes to witch prom with her three girlfriends.
• The future! Reforming the Church of Night, Prudence and/or Sabrina as High Priestess(es) and Dorcas and Agatha as sister consorts, or anything else you can see them getting up to after they graduate from the Academy.
• Any little scene of them all together at the Spellman house: fic or art for other times Sabrina left her window open for the Weird Sisters, babysitting Leticia, scenes with the rest of the Spellmans reacting to Sabrina's new girlfriends.
Crossover Fandom: Dead Reckoning (1947)/Gilda (1946)
Fanfiction, Fanart
Coral Chandler (Dead Reckoning)/Gilda Mundson Farrell (Gilda)
As soon as I saw Dead Reckoning, I felt like it was kind of a sister film to Gilda: the shared music, the Jean Louis costumes, the casinos and the choking, sultry atmospheres. I could totally see Coral and Gilda as two sides of the same coin too -- the warmth and despair of Gilda next to the smoky vulnerability of Coral. I'd love to see any twist on their movies that brings them together.
Prompts:• Gilda and Coral started off in the same Detroit chorus line.
• Any canon divergent meeting set during either of their films -- Coral making it out of her movie alive and running away to Argentina, or Gilda staying in America until the end of the war and meeting Coral instead of Mundson?
• Or! An AU where Gilda and Coral end up as casino widows together. (A chance meeting at some resort, or maybe they knew each other before and this was their plan all along?)
• Anything that plays with any of their little character details -- Coral helping Gilda with her zips or listening to her play guitar, Gilda spraying on Coral's jasmine perfume?
• Any little classic noir scene with a f/f twist: dancing, smoking together, watching each other sing, night drives, gambling together (Gilda's lucky at cards, unlucky in love - does Coral balance her out?).
• Bonus porn prompts: glove kink, clothed sex, backstage sex, gunplay, phone sex, fraught and furtive noir-typical encounters in the shadows, decadence kink.
Penny Dreadful (TV)
Fanfiction, Fanart
Ethan Chandler/Hecate Poole
I was so into Ethan and Hecate right from "I think those brigands better watch out for you, Hecate Aphrodite Livingstone," and everything about their murder road trip was incredible - both the monster-to-monster side of their courtship and all the unexpected tenderness/protection/loyalty kink moments that came along with it. I'd love to see anything that gives them some more time together.
Prompts:• Post-canon fic or art where Hecate is resurrected, or reaches out from the afterlife, or where Ethan derails his adventures with Malcolm to make a descent into hell for her.
• Scenes from an AU where Hecate and Ethan survive the night at the ranch and they really do get to rule the darkness together. Thrones, crowns, eternal night, queens in white dresses -- I love alllllll the canon-typical apocalyptic imagery.
• Anything for a gentler Hecate Lives AU -- futurefic or art where they forget about making Lucifer happy and get a ranch together, or Ethan bringing Hecate back to Grandage Place?
• Gentle moments in the desert.
• All the monster romance: blood-smeared kisses, teeth and claws, art of them together as a nightcomer and a werewolf.
• Date scenes: in tea shops, saloons, steeplechases, balls -- anywhere!
• Bonus porn prompts: ritual sex/sex magic, bloodplay, unexpected tenderness, body worship, scar worship, scarification, service kink, werewolf senses.
Vanessa Ives/Hecate Poole
The greatest stepsisters that never were! Vanessa is just, like, the light of the world, and I love Hecate as a tiny, prickly, resentful shadow sister to her, hidden in the wallpaper. I loved their hallucinatory ballroom encounter in s2, and Hecate kissing Vanessa, and anything that taps into their femslash potential a little more would be incredible.
Prompts:• Any kind of s2 AU where Hecate was Vanessa's honeytrap. Does she try to frame herself as another Mina, trapped by a dark master, and is that truer than she'd like?
• An AU where Evelyn and Malcolm stayed together a little longer and they became stepsisters for real -- all the suspicion and stiflingly polite domesticity!
• Fic or art for a slightly canon divergent take on Dorian's ball where they end up dancing with each other in the blood.
• Scenes from any kind of enemies-to-lovers slow burn. Hecate breaking away from Evelyn and Lucifer and trying to carve out a new grey witch identity with the help of Vanessa? Hecate coming up against Vanessa's relentless compassion for all the beautiful monsters of the world? Hair-stroking? Body worship? A very intense closer-than-sisters embrace? Becoming protective towards each other?
• Vanessa and Hecate do magic together.
• Bonus porn prompts: ritual sex/sex magic, bondage, bloodplay, unexpected tenderness, body worship, scar worship, scarification, dirty talk, biting, clothed sex.
To Catch a Thief (1955)
Fanfiction, Fanart
John Robie/Frances Stevens
Frances is such a dreamboat -- she's so serene and cheerful and takes what she wants entirely on her own terms. I love how proud of herself she is to have caught a jewel thief, and how sedately pleased Robie is to be caught by her, and I'd love to see more that, with canon-level jewel and scenery porn totally welcome too.
Prompts:• Anything post-canon -- villa domesticity, working on the vineyards and flowers together, two weeks at Niagara Falls, new ways to spend midnight on rooftops.
• Robie showing Frances how to break and enter in all kinds of abandoned houses, just for the thrill of it.
• Role reversal AU with Frances as a jewel thief and Robie as a socialite.
• Robie and Stevens: Côte d'Azur Private Investigators.
• Frances making Robie warm her diamonds before she'll wear them.
• Bonus porn prompts: the fireworks first time, hotel sex, beach sex, all the jewel kink, burglary roleplay.
Twin Peaks
Fanfiction, Fanart
Annie Blackburn/Laura Palmer
I love Laura's dream in Fire Walk with Me, I love it when Annie gets to do spooky things, and then Annie's alternate backstory in The Final Dossier made me really want to see some Annie/Laura: the longing for angels, the overlapping traumas, the possibility of them finding a balance between peace and worldliness together. So! Let them meet (again), let them fall in love!
Prompts:• Any take on the Laura side of "I've been with Dale and Laura" and Annie meeting Laura in the Black Lodge after Miss Twin Peaks.
• Anything from an AU where Laura was still alive when Annie left the convent -- Annie and Laura meeting at the Double R, or lowkey falling in love while they're doing a Meals on Wheels route together, Laura showing Annie around town and looking out for her while she readjusts to life outside the convent.
• Sweet scenes, sad scenes, all kinds of supernatural connections: first times, getting each other to smile, meeting in the woods (as ghosts, through time travel, through any weird preternatural sympathy?), recognizing each other as survivors or dealing with their trauma, Annie picking up on the messianic side of Laura.
• Post-s2, Annie wakes up with a lingering psychic connection to Laura.
• The Final Dossier's Annie living between worlds and meeting Laura again somewhere -- a weird, sad waitress romance between Annie and Carrie Page in Odessa?
• Fic or art that explores their journeys from (homecoming or pageant) queens to supernatural martyrs.
Dale Cooper/Audrey Horne
I love everything about these two: the intensity and yearning and admiration, the way they spark off each other as retro misfits, how effortlessly old Hollywood romance melts into the romance of the everyday when they're together. I always want to see more of them from any era of the show -- AUs that bring them together in s1/s2, or encounters between seasons, or the post-canon hurt/comfort they both totally deserve.
Prompts:• Achy post-s3 reunions -- finding each other again, mutual hurt/comfort, fervently making up for lost time, readjusting to reality, appreciating each other as impossibly fine older people.
• Scenes from an AU where they left Twin Peaks together back in 1989 -- road trips, Audrey coming back to Philadelphia with Cooper and coming into her own as a woman, nights in the city.
• Any kind of unabashedly romantic art for them or fic for small romantic scenes -- kisses, slow dancing, undressing each other, talking over Hollywood conspiracies and solving mysteries as they fall asleep together.
• Any moment(s) from a supernatural encounter. Drabbles for them meeting in dreams over the years, or art of them kissing or dancing in the Black Lodge? Giants bring them together again for a reunion at the Fireman's house?
• Bonus porn prompts: romantic sex, feverish Black Lodge sex, first times (especially with virginity loss or bittersweet post-canon reunion first times where they’re re-learning each other after such a long separation), bondage, blindfolds, body worship, tenderness, gentle dom/femdom, dirty talk, touch starvation, a post-s3 Coop back in the real world and fascinated by Audrey's twenty-first century vibrator.
Dale Cooper/Laura Palmer
I love all the ways Laura and Cooper reach out to each other, the gentleness and sadness and impossibility of their connection, how their relationship flickers between a fever dream and a myth of devotion. Also, how are they so good at kissing. It would be incredible to see more fic or art for them -- their Black Lodge encounters, or what could happen between them after s3.
Prompts:• More Black Lodge encounters. An AU where Laura stayed with Cooper for his entire time in the Lodge and they slip into a surreal kind of domesticity together? Fic or art for any stolen moments they might have had between seasons? An alternate take on "I'll see you again in twenty-five years" and their reunion?
• A kiss in the Odessa universe. What's their first kiss outside of the Black Lodge like for them?
• Any little moment from a post-s3 slow burn -- taking long drives or walks together, sharing beds in Lynchean motels, holding hands, coming to terms with their weird intimacy and what to do about it.
• Anything that riffs on the Orpheus and Eurydice overtones of their relationship -- Cooper restoring Laura's death for her and giving her back to her angel after s3? Or a scene with Laura trying to lead Cooper out of the Lodge, or some other symbolic underworld?
• Bonus porn prompts: all the smoky Black Lodge eroticism (sex in the chair, or cunnilingus with Cooper kneeling down on the chevron floor?), femdom, tenderness, hotel/motel sex.
Audrey Horne/Laura Palmer
I love all the loaded negative space around their relationship -- "I guess I sort of loved her" and that clear-eyed "I understood her better than the rest," the side-canon moment of Laura wanting to look like Audrey in The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer. Anything that focuses on their relationship would be incredible -- pre-series, or set between s2 and s3, or post-s3 reunions.
Prompts:• Fic or art exploring any time they genuinely manage to connect with each other or look out for each other -- listening to records together, dancing in Ben's office, snowy ski holiday kisses, or moments where Laura was drawn into Audrey's world as a respite from her double life.
• Anything for an AU where Laura never died -- would they have got closer after high school, as runaways, or college students, or just as two women still stuck in Twin Peaks?
• Any supernatural encounter after Laura's death -- dreams and warnings, Laura on the fringes of Audrey’s s3 storyline, fic or art of Laura visiting Audrey in her coma, or the two of them in the Black Lodge together.
• An AU where Laura took Audrey to the Pink Room, or where Audrey followed Laura to One-Eyed Jack's one night.
Dale Cooper/Audrey Horne/Laura Palmer
I have so many feelings about these three, how s1 frames Audrey and Laura as two different embodiments of the woman of Cooper's dreams, and how they have so many tangled connections to each other. Any kind of OT3 take on them all together would be wonderful -- in dreams, in the Black Lodge, or post-s3 with the whole universe split wide open around them.
Prompts:• Fic or art for any kind of three-way encounter set in any of the show's otherworlds -- more kisses in the Black Lodge, or scratchy records and evening dresses and threesomes in a giant-sized four-poster bed at the Fireman's, or even some kind of White Lodge encounter.
• Audrey wakes up in/finds a way into the Odessa universe. Or, post-finale, Laura and Cooper visit the Roadhouse and find Audrey there.
• Any slow burn snippet of them all getting to know each other again after time and space and death have been turned upside down, learning to live again in any version of reality.
Diane Evans/Tamara "Tammy" Preston
After that scene at the prison where Tammy got up into Diane's face the way she did, I'd totally believe that Tammy has a masochistic crush on Diane, and I felt like there was a definite atmosphere in that one scene where Diane watches Tammy bring her coffee too. I'd love to see anything for them -- more scratchiness, getting thrown together by work-typical strangeness, shameless pulp lesbian aesthetic.
Prompts:• Post-s3, Tammy goes to Odessa to find Linda. Is this Tammy's first Blue Rose solo case? What's Diane doing out there alone in Odessa, and how do they re-meet?
• Sometime in Buckhorn, Tammy tries some (deliberately?) awkward fire exit flirting.
• Bar scenes -- dive bars or luxurious hotel bars, Tammy serenely keeping her balance on tiny bar stools and Diane being into it despite herself. Missing scenes, post-canon meetings, or maybe an AU where Gordon sent Tammy to Max Von's Bar instead of Albert?
• Any kind of AU where Diane was Tammy's secretary. What's Tammy like to work for? Does she still occasionally act like she's a secretary in a lowkey pin-up drawing? When does Diane decide she actually likes Tammy?
• Bonus porn prompts: hotel sex at the Mayfair, hair-pulling, semi-public sex, dirty talk, mile high club, lingerie, alllll the femdom from Diane.
Blackie O'Reilly/Laura Palmer
Blackie is so perversely delightful to me as a neo-noir dark lady, and I've always wondered about her backstory with Laura -- all the jagged things they have in common, their fatalistic streaks, how Laura fit into the lesbian dystopia underside of One-Eyed Jack's and what they made of each other. I'd love to see anything that sketches in their history a little more.
Prompts:• Afterhours at One-Eyed Jack's -- any little scene with Laura in Blackie's office, drinking together, smoking together, being cynical and tired together, talking shit about (Horne?) men together. (Rebecca and Mrs Danvers vibes entirely welcome.)
• Blackie reads Laura's tarot cards.
• Fic or art for the moment where Laura picked her card for her One-Eyed Jack's costume (the hand contact, the eye contact, the whole deal-with-the-devil aesthetic!).
• A meeting between Blackie and Laura (or Laura's doppelganger) in the Black Lodge, either as a part of Blackie's afterlife or anything that plays with the blurry boundaries between the Lodge and One-Eyed Jack's. Being mistresses of hell together in their black evening gowns, or coming to some kind of bitter peace.

• Bonus porn prompts: ritual sex/sex magic, bloodplay, unexpected tenderness, body worship, scar worship, scarification, service kink, werewolf senses.
Vanessa Ives/Hecate Poole
The greatest stepsisters that never were! Vanessa is just, like, the light of the world, and I love Hecate as a tiny, prickly, resentful shadow sister to her, hidden in the wallpaper. I loved their hallucinatory ballroom encounter in s2, and Hecate kissing Vanessa, and anything that taps into their femslash potential a little more would be incredible.
Prompts:• Any kind of s2 AU where Hecate was Vanessa's honeytrap. Does she try to frame herself as another Mina, trapped by a dark master, and is that truer than she'd like?
• An AU where Evelyn and Malcolm stayed together a little longer and they became stepsisters for real -- all the suspicion and stiflingly polite domesticity!
• Fic or art for a slightly canon divergent take on Dorian's ball where they end up dancing with each other in the blood.
• Scenes from any kind of enemies-to-lovers slow burn. Hecate breaking away from Evelyn and Lucifer and trying to carve out a new grey witch identity with the help of Vanessa?

Diane Evans/Tamara "Tammy" Preston
After that scene at the prison where Tammy got up into Diane's face the way she did, I'd totally believe that Tammy has a masochistic crush on Diane, and I felt like there was a definite atmosphere in that one scene where Diane watches Tammy bring her coffee too. I'd love to see anything for them -- more scratchiness, getting thrown together by work-typical strangeness, shameless pulp lesbian aesthetic.
Prompts:• Post-s3, Tammy goes to Odessa to find Linda. Is this Tammy's first Blue Rose solo case? What's Diane doing out there alone in Odessa, and how do they re-meet?
• Sometime in Buckhorn, Tammy tries some (deliberately?) awkward fire exit flirting.
• Bar scenes -- dive bars or luxurious hotel bars, Tammy serenely keeping her balance on tiny bar stools and Diane being into it despite herself. Missing scenes, post-canon meetings, or maybe an AU where Gordon sent Tammy to Max Von's Bar instead of Albert?
• Any kind of AU where Diane was Tammy's secretary. What's Tammy like to work for? Does she still occasionally act like she's a secretary in a lowkey pin-up drawing? When does Diane decide she actually likes Tammy?
• Bonus porn prompts: hotel sex at the Mayfair, hair-pulling, semi-public sex, dirty talk, mile high club, lingerie, alllll the femdom from Diane.
Blackie O'Reilly/Laura Palmer
Blackie is so perversely delightful to me as a neo-noir dark lady, and I've always wondered about her backstory with Laura -- all the jagged things they have in common, their fatalistic streaks, how Laura fit into the lesbian dystopia underside of One-Eyed Jack's and what they made of each other. I'd love to see anything that sketches in their history a little more.
Prompts:• Afterhours at One-Eyed Jack's -- any little scene with Laura in Blackie's office, drinking together, smoking together, being cynical and tired together, talking shit about (Horne?) men together. (Rebecca and Mrs Danvers vibes entirely welcome.)
• Blackie reads Laura's tarot cards.
• Fic or art for the moment where Laura picked her card for her One-Eyed Jack's costume (the hand contact, the eye contact, the whole deal-with-the-devil aesthetic!).
• A meeting between Blackie and Laura (or Laura's doppelganger) in the Black Lodge, either as a part of Blackie's afterlife or anything that plays with the blurry boundaries between the Lodge and One-Eyed Jack's. Being mistresses of hell together in their black evening gowns, or coming to some kind of bitter peace.
