Trick or Treat letter

meteordustDear Trick or Treat Writer,
Thank you so much for offering to write a story for me! I love the characters I've nominated, and I'm keen to see what you come up with! I've requested fanfic for the below canons.
I've provided some prompts in case you're looking for inspiration, but I'd also love to see whatever other ideas capture your imagination. I'm open to tricks or treats, so feel free to interpret my prompts either way.
LIKES FOR THIS EXCHANGE: creepypasta, angst, whump, heroism, adventure, mystery, hijinks, fluff, slice of life.
DISLIKES FOR THIS EXCHANGE: noncon, permanent injuries, gruesome deaths, bleak endings (though ambiguous or bittersweet are fine).
RATING: I'm fine with explicit sex, but it's usually not the most important part of the story for me.
STYLE: I'm fine with first, second, or third person. I'm fine with past or present tense. I'm fine with stories of any length, including stories that start in media res.
POV: I'm open to stories from the point of view of a different character from the ones nominated, especially if they provide an interesting perspective on the nominated characters.
CROSSOVERS: I would prefer no crossovers with other canons.
AUS: I like seeing the characters in their own settings, so I would prefer no alternate universes like high school, coffee shop, or omegaverse. However, I like alternate universes where something happened differently in canon.
I've listed more details under each individual request.
I hope this helps. Have fun writing!
Yours sincerely,
meteordust

Request 1: Captive Prince - CS Pacat (Damen)
Oh, Damen. I love his courage, competence, and good heart. I love when actions he thinks are ordinary and necessary, stun and impress people with their awesomeness.
Ideas for tricks or treats:
* Damen meets one or more of his Vaskian daughters. They may or may not have accurate preconceptions of each other.
* Damen is visited by the ghost of Auguste, at some time before, during, or after canon. Maybe it haunts him, or has a message for him, or has a dying wish that needs to be fulfilled. Or maybe it just hangs around delivering unwanted advice.
* What if Damen is fatally wounded at the end of the series, and Laurent is only pretending that he is going to be okay? Damen comes back as a ghost, whether or not he realises it.
Relationships: If you would like to include shipping, I would enjoy reading about Damen with any of Laurent, Auguste, or Nikandros.

Request 2: Seafort Saga - David Feintuch (Nicholas Seafort, Edgar Tolliver, Vax Holser, Alexi Tamarov)
I love all these characters for their loyalty, bravery, sacrifice, and intense UST. I wish we got to see more of their lives in between the crises they face. I'm happy to read about any, some, or all of them.
Ideas for tricks or treats:
* Derelict ships and abandoned outposts! Of course someone has to investigate.
* Shore leave! Possibly together with someone else, who has very different ideas about what they should do on shore leave. Or what games might they play during downtime aboard ship? Something fiercely competitive? Strip poker? Truth or dare?
* Do they ever tell stories about ghost ships that wander through space, or lost colonies that vanished off the map, or sightings of alien artefacts?
Relationships: If you would like to include shipping, I ship all four of these characters in any combination.

Request 3: Yuri!!! on Ice (Yuri Plisetsky)
I love that Yuri is a prickly grouch with a heart of gold. I adore his love of animal print and melodramatic performances. I'm intensely curious about what challenges lie ahead for him.
Ideas for tricks or treats:
* Futurefic! Does he ever face a crisis of confidence, whether at the height of success or on the brink of retirement? Will things be different for him since he witnessed Yuuri and Victor going through this?
* Will he ever grow embarrassed by his dark past, or will he always be as melodramatic as ever? Does he ever transform his image, possibly getting advice from others who have done so, like Victor or Chris?
* Dealing with the next generation of skaters, whether new seniors, upcoming juniors, or little kids. Do they idolise him, challenge him, or get mentored by him?
* Out of his comfort zone! Does he pick up a new hobby while recovering from injury, or learn a new skill because of a friend or relative? How does he deal with not being good at something?
Relationships: If you would like to include shipping, I would enjoy reading about Yuri with Otabek, or an original male character, or an original female character. For this fandom, I would prefer that any sex only occurs when the characters are of age.
