gimmie something good to eat

trick or treat!

Thank you for offering any of these fandoms ♥

I tried to make this as skim-friendly as possible. The tl;dr of it all is that if you touch on anything I mention liking even slightly — and, as you'll come to see very soon, I have a lot of things that I like — I'll be elated. Please take my note at the top seriously, pick whatever you like to write, and burn the rest of it!

THE TERROR | WESTWORLD | WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS

( quick note )
⸰ My prompts are formatted to (hopefully!) work for the less-is-more writer and the more-is-more writer. The top level prompt suggestions are generalized, complete ideas. Know what you want to write now? Great!

If you come up with an idea that’s similar to a prompt, go for it! If ¾ of a prompt really works for you, but the final ¼ doesn’t, only work with the bit that does. I’d also love to see prompts mixed. All these general questions and ideas following the top-level exist just in case you want more to work with.

GENERAL LIKES!
⸰ I actually really love stuff that starts in the "middle"/in medias res of a fic. I don't need a lot of world-building, especially if that's not something you're super into doing. If you've decided to take up one of my AU or canon-divergence ideas, I already know the basic background of what's going! Go right on ahead with the action of the story instead of spending a lot of time and effort in explaining how the situation came to be.

However, if half the fun of AUs/divergences for you involves really delving deep into the universe and making yourself at home there, go wild!

⸰ I really like strong relationships! None of my requested characters really keep to themselves, so even if the plot of your fic has them being independent operators, I love to see how the relationships that they have influenced what they do and don't do, how they feel and don't feel.

I am super into reading about how relationships work: their unique dynamics, how they support one another, how they relate to each other, how they interact [pre-, post-, and during-canon when “offscreen”], where their wants and needs mesh up, where they differ.

⸰ Rather than miscommunication causing drama, I love it when bluntness and frankness cause that tension instead. Characters saying what they want or what they've done, point blank, and then leaving it to the other character to decide if they can handle that; quiet characters taking their time and really mulling over their choices before telling the other person what they want? I’m eternally here for it.

⸰ I love codas, alternate canons, semi-alternate universes, and canon divergences, and/or slight changes to canon. I also love established relationships/friendships, and domesticity. If you want to write me slice-of-life that details their routine or daily life, I'll eat that shit up.

Complete AUs that are paranormal, supernatural generally tricky in nature are also welcome.

⸰ When it comes to ratings, anything from G-rated schmoop to NC-17 sex is alright in my book.

Should you write a sex scene, here’s a general list of kinks/scenarios that I'm cool with:
age regression, age differences, underage, made-them-do-it, a/b/o, water sports (for marking/scenting and/or intimacy; less about being super into pee or humiliation), conditioning, frottage, gentleness, identity porn/anonymous sex, rough sex, marking, switching/no set sexual “roles”, possessiveness, power issues, abuse of power, dubcon, semi-public sex, sensory overload, sex addiction/compulsion, silence, d/S that’s focused on taking care/being cared for more than pain/humiliation, size differences and power dynamics — feel free to have the "smaller”/younger/more docile dude be more "dominant”/aggressive member of the relationship—, touching, slavefic, delayed emotional intimacy paired with very quick physical intimacy, captivity.

TRICKS!
⸰ Let me just say that I strongly believe that every fandom is made better by applying the ol' everything is the same except [supernatural aspect]. Vampires, ghosts, werewolves, zombies, shape-shifters, demons, aliens, superheroes, villains, wizards, the list goes on and I like them all.

⸰ I love fucked-up, unhealthy relationships. Codependent relationships, dependent personality disorders being exploited by someone with a histrionic personality disorder, obsessive relationships: you can be giving it all to me. I love when a character is willing to literally let the world burn should the world try to come between them and the person they love (romantically or platonically).

I love them doing questionable things or neglecting themselves in order to make their partner happy. I love it when they put themselves or the other person in precarious situations just so they can have their desired outcome; let the ends justify the means. I don't need it sugar coated or spun to make it seem healthy and alright, in fact, I love it when the characters know — be it fully or as a mere suspicion — that what they're feeling, and the degree to which they're feeling it, isn't healthy, but they enjoy it so much they wouldn't even think of getting help or trying to back off. Them being equally, fuck-up-ed-ly invested in their relationship is what I live for.

⸰ A general list of tropes/scenarios that might pair well with tricks:
stuck in isolation together, forced closeness, amnesia, viking/tribe/barbarian/pre-history au, trope inversions & subversions, sex before feelings, soul mates/soul bonds, fake relationships, forced/arranged marriages, bodyswaps, exploring physical disabilities (losing sight/hearing/the ability to a speak).

TREATS!
⸰ As mentioned in the tricks section, if you want to add some paranormal or supernatural elements to an otherwise fluffy or domestic fic, I say go for it all the way. I am completely fine with a hybrid tricky-treat of a fic. Blur those lines! As long as the ending is a happy-ish one, don't worry about your treat not being treat-y enough.

⸰ I live for really getting into the nitty-gritty of characters/relationships. There no such thing as too domestic or too established for me — I love seeing a character grow and change without any extreme outside forces or major drama because so much of the person we become is formed by the people we know, the thing we do (or don't do) each day. It's a gradual process that has us ending up miles away from where we started, I find that fascinating to read about.

⸰ A general list of tropes/scenarios that I like that would be great for treats:
forced closeness, amnesia, viking/tribe/barbarian/pre-history au, android aus, western/rancher/farmer aus, trope inversions & subversions, d/s that’s focused on taking care/being cared for more than pain/humiliation, soul mates/soul bonds, fake relationships, forced/arranged marriages, bodyswaps, gentleness.

ART!
⸰ I like genre scenes, still life, and/or things that look like they could be proudly displayed in the middle of a chapter, or even as the 'cover' of a comic book, novel, or DVD box.

⸰ In terms of color palettes and style/mood/composition, I'm into Renaissance Art, Impressionism, Fauvism, Luminism, Surrealism, and Baroque.

So I guess I like the interplay of dark/light and shadows; a close focus on the character involved and the background can vary from nothingness to a whole piece in itself.

⸰ From a design perspective, intentionally 'sketchy' and rough looking things + watercolors that go "outside" the lines and look beautifully wobbly are also deeply entrenched into my aesthetic. As are practically all the Realistic, comic-book, and similar styles!

Anything that comes even vaguely close to any of the above, combined with my likes or prompts, will be amazing and make me extremely happy. I'm not an artist to any degree so, basically, anything you create will be impressive as hell to me. I'm still green at prompting art so if you need any more followup, feel free to leave an anon comment and/or contact me through the mod.
DISLIKES!
⸰ Deathfic wherein the character I requested dies and then the story ends; if they’re brought back to life via something supernatural, are reborn, are turned into a cyborg, etc — or the story continues on in the ~afterlife~, then we're fine. As long as the story doesn't end with "[…] and they died, the end", it's perfect.

⸰ Excessive angst wherein the majority of the fic is self-pity/sadness or miscommunications and a tiny section at the end is happy/resolution; if from the outside/as an observer, the events are sad but the character(s) living that reality as their everyday life are happy/content/blind to it, then that's fine! I just don't like it when half the fic or more is focused on someone's sadness/angst and how they react or wallow in said angst.

⸰ Embarrassment/humiliation (kink or otherwise), painplay/torture kink, cheating/infidelity, high school/university au, yentas/matchmaking/meddling friends, unrequested polyamory, epistolary fic, crossdressing, noncon, genderswap/always-a-[opposite gender].

⸰ It's absolutely fine if you don't ship my ship(s), but please don't have them in a relationship with someone else. I'm also not a huge fan of background pairings, but if your plot needs 'em, do what you gotta do.

⸰ No preference between past and present tense, although I prefer 3rd-Person Narration well above all others.

⸰ Not a fan of crossovers, but fusions are always cool.

A Blackklansman fusion with Magnificent Seven where bountyhunter Flip decides not to bring in Ron, and from then on they're thick as theives? The Terror fused with Westworld where Hickey realizes that he's a host then kicks off the revolution without sparing anyone is very much relevant to my interests. An Outlander fusion with Dominion, with Jack and Jamie as two sides of the same coin, obsessed with one another even at the end of the literal world, is practically begging to be written, right? Or even What We Do In The Shadows fused with Westworld to finally give the company a lighter park where people expierence friendly New Zealand and their supernatural community?
Blackkklansman (2018)


I ship Flip/Ron & Flip/OMC.

PRE-CANON
⸰ Backstory!

Who is Flip, where's he from, what's his deal? We know that Ron's the one that really helped him to appreciate his ethnicity/religion, yet it still seems like he was pretty isolated at the precinct aside from Jimmy despite passing as the ideal WASP. Why? (Flip's gay, is what I'm insinuating.)

CANON
⸰ Fake dating

Don't care why, my suspension of belief has no bounds.

Maybe the department is trying to catch the Klan or another hate group, this time by having Flip as part of a couple? Flip and Ron, Flip and an Original Male Officer, Flip being forced to rope in a "friend" who just so happens to be his actual boyfriend — I'm not fussy.

Maybe we see the start of what will later be firmed up in the Clinton/Bush-era DADT witch hunt, Flip and [Ron/Original Male Officer] are forced to go undercover into a burgeoning gay scene to make sure that they aren't planning to overthrow the heterosexual establishment.

⸰ Stakeouts

⸰ Plaid shirts

⸰ Becoming Ron

Flip gets all tied up in being Ron around the same time that he's actually learning just who the hell he is, and how he feels about that. Does it create a weird situation where Flip's idea of himself is tied up with Ron? Or does the intenseness of how he feels about his own identity bleed into Ron? Does Flip have someone outside of work that starts to realize his more Ron-like qualities?


⸰ Being Ron: Redux

Do these two losers ever have any fun with it? Phone calls where they're both Ron? Flip anticipating Ron's every move (what he'd order when the squad is out getting lunch, what movie Ron would like to see, dressing in a way that ends up being exactly what Ron's wearing that day just to fuck with him, etc) in a way that delights/amuses Ron but possibly creeps everyone out?

Does Ron ever turn the tables by trying to learn and be like Flip too, or is it a one-way street? Do either of them mind that?
POST-CANON
⸰ מיהו יהודי‎/Who is a Jew?

Jewish identity is more of an ethnicity than a religion, but even for those of us who don't practice, it's hard to escape holidays because they're so intertwined with the culture; how deep into it do you think Flip will delve? Holidays, community events — does he drop by a local synagogue?

Is there anyone in his life learning alongside him — Ron, an OMC — or does he meet an OMC in the community that helps him along? What does Flip's Jewish-American reality look like? And is it easy or hard for him to reconcile those two parts of himself now that he's aware of them both?

⸰ PTSD

Flip had to witness and hear some pretty awful shit while undercover, and it was clear that he didn't have the coping skills/slight-detachment that Ron had to deal with it. We saw cracks of it during the film, and his saving Ron was a little to close to the wire for comfort.

His eyes have clearly been opened to the realities of the world for minorities of the world — how does Flip deal with it? Does Ron help him? Someone else? It's hard to turn off that hyper-awareness and get back into the day to day of things, is Flip able to? Does he want to? Is he able to channel it into something?

ALTERNATE-CANON
⸰ Flip doesn't become a cop

What's he up to? Does he still have a run in with the law? (Does Ron collar him for some petty crime?) Is he working for someplace like the SPLC? Drug dealer? Hippy? Pencil pusher? Teacher? Some businessman's stay-at-home squeeze?

Call Me By Your Name-ish?

Not even sure where I'm going with this beyond the thought of Ron yelling out Ron when he comes? Maybe Flip and Ron with a different first meeting AU? Anonymous sex gone right has Ron telling Flip his real name, but Flip panics and says that his name is also Ron?


⸰ Fusion with Magnificent Seven/An Old West AU

Played myself a bit when writing my fusion examples, because now I can't stop thinking about this one.

Flip as the grizzled vet with past who realized the bounty hunting business isn't all that honorable when he's asked to bring in Ron, who is clearly a better man than him and doesn't deserve jail time? The two of them taking on all the baddies in the country (and falling farther and farther in love in the process)?

Ron as a hotshot with a reputation that precedes him who comes across Flip, a man who fascinates Ron far too much to deserve to hang? Ron worming his way under Flip's defenses? Flip pretending to be Ron when some towns think Ron's reputation is a good as dirt when they start to suspect it's attached to a black man?

Flip and Ron as two marshalls who are trying to keep their little multiethnic town free of any bigots?

Dominion (TV)


I ship Gabriel/Michael, Gabriel/Michael/Lucifer, & Gabriel/William.

PRE-CANON
⸰ Anything dealing with his antics in the Torah/Old Testament/Quran

⸰ Gabriel & David: A perfect little two-unit family

Domesticity? Happier times before things went to shit? Training David on how to beat Goliath? H/C? Anything.

CANON
⸰ Exploring how Gabriel's mind and body is always connected to Michael's.

⸰ Things that Gabriel has done for Michael that Michael has no idea about, and vice versa.

⸰ All his secret rendezvous with Michael even though they were at war with one another.

⸰ Michael asking to be punished and Gabriel refusing, saying, "I'd sooner take my own life." And then they do that long hug before Michael finally replies, "Forgive me. I shamed you for your mercy, for the light inside you, a light I covet." I'm — emotionally compromised.

⸰ "All I did, I did for you. To keep our family whole. To keep you by my side."
POST-CANON
⸰ Lucifer’s return strokes Gabriel's obsessive/possessive/codependency even higher than it was at S2’s peak

We all know that Lyrae did a great job of turning Gabriel's love/faith/obsession in Michael against him and making him find new levels when it came to his Michael obsession. Michael's love managed to #save him at the end of S2 and it was amazing, but what if Lucifer coming back managed to trigger him into that desperate, obsessed mess who only wants Michael for himself again?

CANON-DIVERGENCE
⸰ Threatened with the very real possibility of Michael choosing the humans over him pre-S1, Gabriel folds and goes with Michael to set up Vega and protect the humans?

What changes? What stays the same? Are things easier/safer with Gabriel not constantly trying to get Michael back and take out the city? Does a different villain reveal themselves? Do they catch wind of what Lucfier's up to sooner without the distraction of their rivalry?

The Magnificent Seven (2016)


I ship Red/Horne, Red/Billy/Goodnight, Red/Vasquez, Red/Sam, & Red/OMC.

PRE-CANON
⸰ Finding his path

Red was told that his path wasn't with his tribe — just how did that revelation come to pass? A lot of the official material says that he's "exiled", so what's the deal with that?

⸰ Searching for his soulmate

Literal soulmate trope or just for someone with whom he belongs, where does Red end up? With one of the Seven? Someone in the town? Someone he meets after?

Red is on a path, a path that's leading him to him.

CANON
⸰ Bonding with any of the group

We saw what Faraday, Billy, and Goodnight were up to at times, but what about Red Harvest? Who was he spending the most time with while the town was prepping for the shootout? Jack? Sam? Someone else?
POST-CANON
⸰ Where does Red go?

Do the trio stick together? Go their separate ways? Does Red team up with Vasquez? Sam? Someone else?

Vasquez and Sam can probably pivot what happened into a career, but Red has no presences in the white man's world. Does this change that, or does he decide to stay on the fringes? Is that a lonely existence, or does he find someone to share it with?

ALTERNATE-CANON
⸰ Werewolves!

Did Red come from a tribe of them? Was he turned and that's why he was exiled?

⸰ American Gods

After Red showed up, things started to make a turn for the better, and even when things went wrong (Rest in Power, Goodnight and Billy 😭) people were able to face their fears/make amends/overcome their flaws? Why? Red Harvest, that's why.

Why did Red choose to help them? What's the ritual that summons him; desperation, fairness, sacrifice?

Are Sam/Vasquez tied to him now that they've got him? Does someone else in need summon him up? What does he do for them?


Outlander (TV)


I ship Black Jack/Jamie, Black Jack/Alexander Randall, & Black Jack/OMC.

PRE-CANON
⸰ [eyes emoji] What is up with Jack's obsession with his brother?

CANON
⸰ "What did Randall do to you?" "Too much…and not enough."

Jamie doesn't deal with what happened between them well, and Black Jack would certainly love that.

What if they ran into one another more before Black Jack's death? Is the usual charge between them even more now that they've slept together? Like with John, does Jamie almost position himself/goad Jack into being the aggressor again because he isn't willing to do so himself?

⸰ "One way or another, I will get a response from you […] Are you mine? […] Show me you're mine" & "…he made love to me."

⸰ Black Jack's obsession with marking/owning another man in mind, body, and soul.

Does anyone else get under Jack's skin? Or does Jamie hold the honor?

⸰ Had Jack ever had a healthy relationship?

What would that look like? How long does it last? Is the man he's with shocked to see what hides behind Jack's facade — or does he relish it?

⸰ Injury or the weather has Jack and [Jamie/OMC?] shacked up together for a good long while?

⸰ Good ol' fashioned amnesia trope

Jack gets a second chance at a first impression with Jamie? Does Jamie assume they're together? Does Jack decide to go right for the sadism, or does he realize that it's honey that'll draw Jamie to him quicker than scorn? Does he relish knowing the truth of their relationship when Jamie sweetens for him, or does it bring him unexpected guilt?

Maybe it's Jack that forgets everything and it turns out that he isn't as much of a total bastard when his childhood/etc isn't weighing him down? He's at Jamie's mercy — but Jamie can't bring himself to hurt him? Or maybe he wants to get revenge and even out the scales of their abusive past, but without their background as context, Jack doesn't see any of it as a punishment, no matter what it is Jamie throws at him?
ALTERNATE-CANON
⸰ Arranged marriages?

The English take Highlands for good and to really rub the victory in to the clans, they force the resistance leader into marrying their most sadistic captain? Do they come to love one another in their own way? Is it minor domestic wars that neither of them is willing to lose, punctuated by hatesex for the victor?

The Randalls have an agreement with the Frasers for such-and-such son to be promised to the other? Is it a full-on marriage or an indentured servitude situation that becomes more?

⸰ Jack as Jamie

Scotland has control over England, with Jamie constantly chasing after the troublesome rebel Black Jack? Jamie doesn't have the same sadistic streak as Jack; how would that change their dynamic? For all that he's a sadist, Jack certainly has a masochistic streak when it comes to his interactions with Jamie, so what would he be like in trying to convince Jamie to be with him? Just how much would he put himself and his cause at risk over that Jamie-sized boner of his?

⸰ Jack hiring Rentboy Jamie

Westworld fusion

Jack is an uber-wealthy businessman that goes to HighlanderWorld every chance he gets, all to act out his fantasies on a Host called [OMC/Jamie]? Does Jack start to notice that the host is gaining sentience? Does that change how he feels about treating the host the way he does? Does he not care at all?

Jack and [Jamie/OMC] are hosts in HighlanderWorld? In a previous narrative they were a homesteader couple but in their current loop their bitter rivals? What happens when the reveries have them remembering more and more of their past lives?

⸰ Era Change

Jack either further in the past or well into the future would allow him to indulge in his passion for men? Would that mellow him out at all, or would it mean that he's hitting up hedonistic functions to get his jollies while still being the evil bastard we know?

Black Jack and Jamie as rival politicians, clansmen, knights, farmers, gladiators, ship captains, Roman Senators — constantly at one another's throats for reasons they don't even know why until it spills over into a release of passion?

⸰ Basically the same except [supernatural].

Interview with the Vampire: Highlands edition.

Jack turns [Jamie/OMC] and is his progeny/packmate. How does that impact their relationship? The plot? Is the bond so strong that they don't even want to fight this newfound connection/kinship, or do those individualistic streaks light up and make them fight?

If werewolves, do they only feel the pull during the moon? Can young vampires only stay away from their makers for so long before they need a dose of their blood?

This is totally inspired by the great work Heughan and Menzies did with their body composition during those scenes and how it looks way too much like your typical sexy vampire turning sequences. That and the whole "you owe me a debt [by promising to kill me after we fucked]" and Jack 100% being the type to be like ok I'll end…your human life! type of motherfucker.

The Terror (TV 2018)


I ship Hickey/Gibson, Hickey/Fitzjames, Hickey/Goodsir, Hickey/OMC, & Hickey/everyone with a dick, basically

PRE-CANON
⸰ To all the men hickey loved before

⸰ How Hickey and Gibson got together

Adam Nagaitis said in an interview that the show basically starts at the end of Hickey & Gibson's great love story — so, what did that look like?

Who seduced who? How did things progress? What were things like when they were at their best?

CANON
⸰ Getting the men onto his side

Hickey can talk himself out of (and into) anything, but what were some of the things we didn't get to see? How did Hickey make the men fall in love with him as a leader? Was it more than that? Was it just his words that seduced them, or his body?

CANON-DIVERGENCE
⸰ The expedition is a success and Hickey makes it to the Hawaiian islands

What was his plan, had everything gone right? Shack up with some gorgeous Islander and live the high life? Create his own crime syndicate?

⸰ Instead of shacking up with Gibson, Hickey goes straight to the top with Fitzjames

How does Hickey get him? What's their dynamic like? How does it change things?

Is Hickey still punished like a boy? Does having Fitzjames' ear by the time things start to go south mean that they're able to sway the crew before the lead poisoning kicks in and things spiral? Does that change things at all?

⸰ Tuunbaq accepts Hickey — what does that mean?

Does he control Tuunbaq? Does it mean he lives as usual but has a protector? Is he able to leave the arctic and bring Tuunbaq with him, or does the connection keep him trapped there? Does he stop aging? Induction into the tribe? Is Hickey now some kind of supernatural creature himself? A conduit for the supernatural?
ALTERNATE-CANON
Black Sails crossover or fusion?

An exemption from my usual crossover aversion because it just works too damn well. Hickey's essentially a darker version of Captain Flint. How would Hickey fair not in the Arctic, but down in the Caribbean?

In a lot of ways, he's the mixture of Flint and Silver dialed up to 11. Would he be able to do what Silver never did, and install himself in Flint's bed just as much as his mind? Do he and Silver come to a mutual agreement to control the men together, and both seduce one another as a way to get the upper hand, but it becomes more?

What makes Hickey come to Nassau? Is his story similar to Flint's with a lost love and country haunting him, or does the life of piracy entice him away from English shores? Is he a pirate? A prostitute? Does the freedom of the island allow him love, or is he still looking?

If you want more fusion than crossover, what if Fitzjames is a respected member of the Royal Navy who remakes himself as a pirate captain and Hickey is his silver-tongued second? What if Hickey is that captain?

Pirates of the Caribbean Crossover?

Another exception to my crossover rule. I'll admit right now that I've thought about this one less. I'm all about it for two reasons:

a) Hickey seducing either (...or both) Norrington or Will and what their dynamic is like?
b) Hickey becoming Davy Jones instead of Will, because of course?

⸰ The Terror... in space!

Modern day The Terror! It's a ship, a space station, a colony on Mars — dealers choice. What goes right? What goes wrong?

⸰ Gentleman Hickey

Give Hickey the respect he deserves. Hickey's a lord or somesuch — legitemate or wormed his way in there? Did he still the real Hickey's title, or is someone's favourite and was gifted it as an excuse to stay close to him? Does Hickey enjoy of life of leisure or does his need to scheme get the better of him?

Westworld (TV)


I ship Logan/Akecheta, Logan/Hector, Logan/Major Craddock, Logan/Teddy, Logan/William, & Logan/OMC.

PRE-CANON
⸰ Logan has his own "fell in love with a host" backstory.

[Original Male Host/Akecheta/Craddock — or Hector even though Lee wasn't working there at the time; I don't care] just seems so real that Logan can't help falling in love

⸰ Anything about Logan's backstory in general

Who was Logan's first boyfriend? He always seems to be looking for sex, but does he ever look for love? Why or why not? Did he have a great love that didn't work out and so he's playing the field when we meet him?

During the trip with William, does Logan actually have a boyfriend/fiancé himself who doesn't mind him sleeping with hosts? When Logan comes back from that trip broken/raging, does he help put Logan back together for a while? Does he believe Logan about the man William really is?

⸰ Roles that [Craddock/Hector/Akecheta/Teddy/OMH] have held and the ways that Logan always finds new ways to fall for them?

CANON
⸰ Different Parks/Worlds

Logan playing the hero (or villain) in Chronicles of Narnia World? Victorian England/Dorian Gray World?

Meeting Craddock in Sports/MMA Boxer/Kingdom World? American Gods World? Crime Fighting….Hannibal….Justified…World? Hector in Roman-Persian/300 World? Ben-Hur World? Akecheta in Longmire...World? Teddy in X-Men World?

Somewhere else? Futuristic Star Trek/Star Wars World? Overwatch World? Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy World? Nightmare before Christmas world? Whatever!

⸰ Somewhere, in one of the parks, is a Logan Host

What's his narrative? Who made him? How close is he to the real deal?

⸰ Ghost Logan in the Shell

Anything and everything about The Forge taking Logan's form and how much of it really is Logan.

CANON-DIVERGENCE
⸰ Akecheta takes Logan with him

A more specific version of Logan being alive in one of the parks!

What if Akecheta took Logan with him instead of leaving him there? How does Logan fit into ghost nation? What would the season have been like if Logan had secretly been a part of what was happening all along? How does Akecheta — and Logan — deal with Logan aging?

⸰ [Original Male Host/Original Male Guest] helps Logan kick his bad habits and rebuild his life

⸰ Logan faked his death

What's he up to now? Is he still secretly on the Delos board or did he take his money and run? Has he been with someone for a while or does he find love later in life?

After hearing about what's gone down on the island, does Logan use this as his chance to take Delos over from William? Has he been helping Ford since the start? Is he at the park himself? With the hosts becoming sentient, do he and [Hector/Craddock/Akecheta/Teddy/OMH/OMG] have a chance to fall in love?
ALTERNATE CANON
⸰ Logan never takes William to the Park.

This is the reality that Logan and Delores & Maeve deserve!

Does William therefore never "get" it, and so when he takes over the rest of Delos, he leaves WW mainly in Logan's hands as a consolation prize? Does Logan become the rightful heir to the Delos empire because William never has a chance to take over without his WW play?

Does Logan have [Hector/Craddock/Akecheta/Teddy/OMH] brought to the outside world to be his live-in lover, or is he constantly going into the Park to meet with them, a la Ford's private childhood section?

Is there an OMG that has Logan settling down? Do they meet at one of the Parks? Outside of it? Is he on the board? Another CEO?

⸰ Logan as the Man In Black

Except not literally, because Logan doesn't take things out on others and it didn't take him 30 years to figure out the park is a bad idea — but you know, semantics.

What's WW like with a Chaos Agent that likely would have worked with Ford/the hosts rather than serve as their antagonist? Has Logan been pining after and running loops with [Craddock/Akecheta/Teddy/OMH] for years?

Does Logan finally join up with the resistance when Hector shows up? I can't see Logan and Delores getting along, but Maeve and Logan would likely be best pals. Would Logan team up with Hector and the Maeve crew post-revolution just like MiB has with Lawrence? (With Hector taken, would Maeve end up with Clementine!! Or Armistice!! Or Akane!!!)

Would slowly coming to remember his history with Logan be what makes Teddy turn on Delores? Would Akecheta and Logan work under the radar to set the host free sooner? Craddock and Logan bringing down the board with guns blazing?

⸰ Logan is a host

What park is he in? Is he a "good" guy or a "bad" guy within the narrative? Does he fall in love with [Hector/Craddock/Akecheta/Teddy/OMH] in an act of his growing sentience, or is it a part of his narrative? Does an OMG fall in love with him and realize that Logan is more than he appears?

Does his father need an heir, and so he commissions Logan (and his sister?) to be made by Argos? Does Logan know he's a host, or does he think he's human? How do Craddock/Hector/OMH/OMG play into that?

What We Do In The Shadows (2014)


I ship Stu/Anton, Stu/Deacon, Stu/Viago, & Stu/Any of the Pack.

PRE-CANON
⸰ Nick was so excited that Stu didn't want to burst his bubble, but this isn't his first run around with the supernatural

CANON
⸰ Becoming a werewolf

What does it entail? It took Stu a while before he reached back out to the guys — what was he up to? Pack boding? Getting used to his body? Convincing the pack that vampires aren't all bad?

⸰ Wooing Stu

Everyone in that house and in that pack was doing it and I could read about it until the cows come home. Just how far would someone go to make Stu happy and comfortable and feeling loved?

⸰ Daily life as one of the pack

⸰ Soulmates

⸰ Fake marriage

The Wellington Paranormal society has a lot of perks, but it's a laborious process to get properly initiated with full benefits. Stu needs one of them ASAP (or, maybe, someone tricks him into thinking he does) and of course [Anton/Deacon/Viago/Vlad/one of the Pack] practically falls over himself to offer his hand in marriage to help Stu out?
POST-CANON
⸰ Torn between two worlds

Stu's a werewolf now, but the Vampires love him. Who does he spend the most time with? Is anyone jealous because of this? How does Stu deal with being the reason Wellington's favorite coven ad pack are spending a lot of time together?

⸰ Full moon

What do all those wolves get up to, anyway?


⸰ Being turned into a vampire makes you sexy. [Anton/Deacon/Viago/Vlad/one of the Pack] hadn't known a werewolf transformation had done the same — but then there's Stu.

ALTERNATE-CANON
⸰ Instead of Nick being turned into a Vampire, it's Stu

The Nighmare Before Christmas fusion?

Who's who? What do Stu and the Vampire and Werewolf gangs get up to in Halloweentown? Are they up to steal other holidays? Do they rule the roost whenever the Pumpkin King is gone? Are one of them the Pumpkin King? Is Stu still supernatural, or is he the one normal boy in a spooky town?
