riverbanksGreetings, dear Halloween gnome or gremlin! 👻 I'm your recip, River / riverbanks on AO3. Thank you for creating a gift for me!
To start, the prompts in this letter are just quick ideas if you need some to throw around. Don't feel like you have to strictly follow these prompts if you have something else in mind!
💀 "Trick" Likes:
º werewolves, vampires and werewolf/vampire AUs
º shapeshifters, monsters, folklore creatures, zombie apocalypse aus
º ghost / haunting stories, spirits, mirrorverses
º creepy atmospheric settings, pocket dimensions, cosmic horror
º psychological horror, nightmares, paranoia, hallucinations
º body horror, captivity, dubcon, codependency, Stockholm/Lima syndrome
🍬 "Treat" Likes:
º fluff, cuddling, hand-holding, cute romantic scenarios.
º smut ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
º hurt/comfort, physical and emotional
º strong friendships, positive parent/child or sibling relationships, team loyalty, bonding moments
º seasonal comforts - sharing hot cocoa in autumn, decorating for Halloween, huddling beside the fireplace
º canon fusions (what if Suvi was the Avatar? what if Zuko IN SPACE?)
⚠️ If you're a gen writer or don't like the same ships I do, please don't feel discouraged or pressured to include romance. I list my ships for convenience in case you want to include that, but I love gen and friendship/family relationships, and they are just as welcome. Any shippy prompts can be repurposed as friendship between the same characters, too.
Onto the prompts!

Avatar: The Last Airbender
Requested Characters: Azula, ZukoLikes: sibling relationship (good or bad), Zuko/Sokka, Azula/Mai, Azula/Ty Lee, Zuko/Azula
DNW: Zuko/Katara
- years after the war, the siblings try to start over and hate each other a little less
- Zuko has some moments with Izumi, just trying to be a good father to her
- Zuko tells tiny Izumi ghost stories; or tries to stop Iroh from telling tiny Izumi ghost stories
- Zuko or Azula feeling like the palace is driving them insane: it's too quiet, too many shadows and whispers in the corners
- Azula after escaping Zuko: homeless, pennyless, ridden with fear and paranoia
- Azula still haunts Zuko's nightmares, and sometimes he's not sure she's only a dream

Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator
Requested Characters: Craig Cahn, Joseph ChristiansenLikes: Craig/Dad, Joseph/Dad, Joseph/Robert
DNW: cult ending
▸Craig Cahn
- Dadsona spends his first Halloween without Amanda + with Craig and his hyper kids
- a glimpse into Craig's relationship with Smashley: are they still friends? Does she remember Dad from college?
- Dad has fun getting into some of Craig's healthy habits, Craig allows himself to get into some of Dad's lazier ones
- Craig is learning to slow down and let himself breathe, and enjoys savouring the moment a little slower.
▸Joseph Christiansen
- Dadsona spends his first Halloween without Amanda + with Joseph and his adorable creepy kids
- an actual happy ending for Joseph where he and Mary do the healthy thing and get a divorce
- Dad and Joseph have their well deserved vacation in Margaritaville
- Joseph and Robert bond again and rekindle their relationship - for good or ill
▸Although I've also requested Tricks for this fandom and would love any spooky / creepy / dark fic for it, I don't like the cut/secret cult ending stuff, so please avoid making Joseph an evil axe murderer or the like. 🙇 (making him an evil vampire or turning Craig into a werewolf is cool though)
▸I forgot to put this in my signup but: using my dadsona is not necessary at all! If you want to use my character's name, he was called Lee. But feel free to use your own character, a generic unnamed dadsona, or not focus on the main character at all, as you wish.
Fallout 4
Requested Characters: Mags Black, Porter Gage, Old LongfellowLikes: morally gray Sole Survivor
▸Mags Black
- Some of her past with William. What was the "incident" in Diamond City? Did they start the Operators, or take over after an old boss? How did they get involved with Colter and Gage? What's the new Overboss like through her eyes, before or after they fix the park? Who is Lizzie to Mags, why is she one of the bosses? (Lizzie/Mags is ok here)
▸Porter Gage
- Scenes from his past: his first time joining a gang, how he got the boss' ear, how he dealt with the first betrayal. How did he meet and get involved with Colter? If in a romance with the Sole Survivor (M or F): how's it like to deal with a force of nature like that? How long was he "thinking about that" before the Survivor came onto him? If not in a romance: how does it feel to have a real friend in the Boss? Does he really trust them, or still keeps his guard up just in case?
▸Old Longfellow
- We never actually see Longfellow teach the Survivor anything, so: that. Longfellow teaching the Survivor about the Island, or hunting with them, building that friendship we don't quite see forming. Or exploring the Commonwealth and learning about the Survivor's problems too, helping where he can. I love the parental/mentor relationship suggested between him and the Survivor, so anything along those lines is great.
Mass Effect Andromeda
Requested Characters: Liam Kosta, Suvi AnwarLikes: Liam/Ryder (F or M), Suvi/f!Ryder, Suvi/Cora
DNW: Liam vs. Vetra stuff, m!Ryder/Suvi
- Ryder and (Liam or Suvi) miss things like autumn and Halloween, and try to improvise their own little comforts in the ship
- explaining Halloween to Jaal is a nightmare, because the angara have no concept of what ghosts or witches are
- sometimes Liam is really terrified of some worlds and aliens they meet, and it's hard to confess that to Ryder when Ryder has to be their face of diplomacy
- sometimes Liam could swear the ship is still haunted by the ghosts of the crew that built it -Khalo's friends- but that's ridiculous. Ghosts don't exist, right?
- Ryder or Cora take Suvi out of the ship and show her some of the amazing worlds they've discovered
- Suvi likes to learn a little bit about everything, and bonds with the crew by hearing and learning about their interests (getting mechanic tips from Gil, learning about gardening with Cora, etc)
Voltron: Legendary Defender
Requested Characters: KeithLikes: Keith/Shiro (and Kuro, Kuron, Sven etc), Keith/Lotor, Keith/Allura, Keith/Pidge, Keith/Rolo
DNW: Keith/Lance, "broganes"
- spooky events during that year Keith spent alone in the desert
- Shiro and Keith hanging out in the shack before he disappears, the desert is too quiet and things lurk in the night
- Galra!Keith embraces his nature and switches sides, dark!Shiro goes with him
- Keith and Allura take a serious look at the things they saw on mirrorverse
- who was Keith in mirrorverse? Empress Allura's servant? Sven's sworn enemy? A rebel too?
- Keith and Lotor somehow bond over both being half-galra, and the different things that it implies for each of them
- anything with Keith and his father having bonding moments and a good relationship despite the hardships and the secrecy
We are done! 👻 If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me through the exchange mod.
Happy Halloween! 🎃 🎃 🎃
