Dear H/C Exchange Writer

 Dear H/C Exchange Writer:

 Hello! I am sorry this took so long! Thank you for offering one of my pairings and I hope this letter isn’t too late to be helpful! Don’t worry if some sections are longer than others, I would not have requested if I didn’t want every one of this, some just get me wordier than others.

 
Likes: UST finally spilling over, first time/get together fics, unspoken feelings that stay unspoken but are blindingly obvious anyway, bedside vigils/general watching over someone, fraught handholding (especially combined with the bedside vigiling) angst and uncertainty leading into happy endings, sneaking around, sex pollen, bloodplay, knifeplay, clothes sharing, getting it on in the locker rooms after matches, dramatic rescues/sacrifices, pining, rope bondage, road trips, significant gestures, missing scenes/episode tags, time travel, Groundhog Day loops, True Love Saves the Day, 5 Things fics, crossroad deals/deals with the devil, any and all kinds of supernatural nonsense, wrestling soulmates (and pairings where one knows he isn’t the other’s soulmate and is okay with it.)

DNW: A/B/O, facesitting, watersports, D/s with lots of negotiation, character death unless undone by time travel or magic

AUs: Medieval/feudal AUs, superhero AUs, spy Aus. I love antagonistic soulmates, especially the wrestling soulmate specific version where the bond seems to be formed during great matches whether the two would really rather that happen or not.

 

WWE/NXT

Aleister Black/Velveteen Dream (both hurt)

Aleister Black/Velveteen Dream (hurt Dream)

Aleister Black/Velveteen Dream (hurt Aleister

 

Sign up Prompt: I love Aleister and Velveteen pushing each other and testing each other and teasing each other but ultimately being there for each other even if they still don't understand each other very well. I am a very big fan of Magical Nonsense, spells going wrong or requiring big sacrifices or with unintended consequences. I love them communicating in dramatic gestures when they keep misunderstanding each other's words.

 

Freeforms: Catching Hurt Character as They Collapse, Character suffered crushing defeat, Erased From Reality, Accidental Soul Bond, Magic Curses, magical mishap, Separated Because Of One's Good Fortune, Bedside Vigils, Wanting To Help Hurt Character But Not Knowing How To Do It, Watching Someone Sleep, Comforter Rains Down Retribution On Hurt Character's Behalf, Can Only Comfort Hurt Character Through Dreams, Entering a dream/nightmare to help dreamer, Sharing a Bed, All Magic Comes With a Price, Distress due to an imminent separation from the other character

 

Additional prompts:

 

-  Anything with Aleister trying some magic/astral projection/whatever other flavor of magical nonsense you like and it backfiring badly on him, from anything as mild as him winding up hypothermic (and needing some huddling for warmth) from a spell reaction to winding up in genuine mortal peril from a curse and Velveteen being desperate to save him.

- For a both hurt variation, Velveteen trying some magic himself or making a crossroads deal to save Aleister and then hiding how much trouble he’s now in. (Maybe Aleister was hurt much worse by Johnny in that attack!)

- In fact anything around that night. Please indulge in all the fraught vigils and standing guard in hospital waiting rooms and Velveteen lying to himself about how worried he is.

- H/C after Aleister’s loss at Takeover.

- One or the other getting magically erased from reality and whichever one didn’t get erased either being the only one to remember or just knowing that something is wrong and needing to fix it.

- Both of them waking up to find themselves in another dimention/the dreamscape/the astral plane/etc for mysterious reasons and having to depend on each other to get out, especially if they both start to get dramatic and self sacrificing as things desperate.

- Velveteen getting catastrophically injured and Aleister does some quick magic to save him but accidentally creating a soul bond in the process.

- Velveteen getting intentionally injured by Johnny or Tommaso in a match while Aleister can only watch from afar because he’s home injured after the attack or because he’s on tour with the main roster and getting some retribution or comforting him from a distance.

- The two of them showing up in each other’s dreams, especially if they don’t know how or why.

- Anything set while they were teaming during that little house show series.

- Any drama around Aleister’s call up, especially if Velveteen is jealous and resentful and doesn’t it handle it well at first.

 

Adam Cole/Ricochet (hurt Adam)

 

Sign Up Prompt: I would love these two never entirely dropping their guards around each other but still being drawn to each other because they're both ambitious, talented, confident, handsome people who recognize those qualities in each other. I would love Adam being banged up and hiding it from his guys but Ricochet knows something's up when they have a match together, or Ricochet misjudging a move, walloping Adam WAY harder than he'd meant to and wanting to make amends (possibly to Adam's confusion!) And I would love their BTE and Lucha Underground backstories to intersect, with Adam having post-resurrection issues and Ricochet knowing how to spot them/knowing exactly what that's like/knowing how to help, even if he doesn't really want to think about that part of his life any more.

 

Freeforms: Only Enemy Knows About Hurt, Enemies to Lovers - Enemy caused hurt but regrets it and tries to make amends, Resurrection, Rival only one who notices injury/trauma, Keeping the hurt secret, Sharing a Bed

 

Additional Prompts:

 

-  Adam gets hurt on a tour where he doesn’t have his guys with him and Ricochet isn’t concerned about him, he’s just giving someone a ride back from the hospital because he’s nice guy. That’s it.

- Ricochet starts having nightmares about digging himself out of his own grave and slowly realizes that’s not him in the dream.

- Adam and Ricochet have been sneaking around for a while having some no strings attached bad idea sex but it makes watching Adam take a beating in matches harder.

- Really anything with Ricochet caring more than he would really like to and Adam not let his guard down around a rival but enjoying being fussed over too much.

 

Adam Cole/Bobby Fish/Kyle O'Reilly (hurt Adam)

Adam Cole/Bobby Fish/Kyle O'Reilly/Roddy Strong (hurt Adam)

 

Sign Up Prompt: I LOVE the rest of TUE worrying about Adam and fussing over him. Anything with TUE having to watching Adam get pummeled during a match and fuming over it or trying to pick him up after a bad loss would be great. I am also a big big fan of Adam's BTE backstory coming into play: any kind of post resurrection issues, h/c after digging himself out of his own grave, dealing with his friends having actually murdering him, etc. What would happen if they ran into the Bucks while on the road? Also very into getting into the whys of Roddy changing sides so dramatically.

 

Freeforms: Character suffered crushing defeat, Comforter Rains Down Retribution On Hurt Character's Behalf, Forced to watch other character's trauma, Hair Washing, Poisoning, Recovering from traumatic resurrection, Resurrection, Sharing a Bed

 

Additional Prompts:

 

- Remember when EC3 had the nerve to pin Adam in a match and Bobby proceeded to murder him for it while the entire crew watched? That was so great, anything like that.

- Picking Adam up after a rough or painful loss by dirty talking about exactly what they’re going to do the jerks who hurt him next match

- Adam having any kind of lingering resurrections trauma – awful nightmares, claustrophobic attacks that bring back waking up in a grave – and the rest of TUE soothing him through it. Especially good if that’s how Roddy finds out all of that was real.

- Adam being banged up and the rest of the guys taking care of him – washing his hair, massaging his back, that kind of thing.

- Time Travel fic where Roddy didn’t join TUE that Takeover to catastrophic results (Pete really hurts Adam? Whatever the result, as long as Adam gets the worst of it and Roddy feels awful about it) and so Roddy time travels to warn his younger self not to make that mistake. Groundhog Day loops that only end when Roddy realizes he should throw that match is also great!

 

New Japan

 

Hiromu Takahashi/Will Ospreay (hurt Will)

Hiromu Takahashi/Will Ospreay (both hurt)

 

Sign Up Prompt: I love Will and Hiromu being cute and flirty but at the same time knowing their ultimate loyalties have to be with their respective factions and not with each other (or SHOULD be, at any rate!) I love playing around with the "Will is a cat" thing, both either actually (secret cat person? gets turned into a cat?) or figuratively (has nine lives and is maybe running low?) I would also love anything set during Jay's CHAOS reign of terror, please have him being as awful as possible to Will while Will tries to pretend everything is Fine as Hiromu gets more frantic over him by the second.

Freeforms: Nonconsensually Transformed Into An Animal Or Monster, Sex As A Distraction From, Emotional Turmoil, Sharing a Bed, Forgetting to eat, Eldritch Creature Falls in Love with Human But Can't Express Its Love in a Way Humans Understand, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Protectiveness, Fear of Discovery, Distress due to an imminent separation from the other character, Hiding Injuries, Forcibly Separated

 

Additional Prompts:

- Hiromu being bored and impatient with his recovery and harassing Will over DMs and the phone, only to slowly Will is banged up far more than he’s letting on. (maybe will misses the call when he broke his ribs? Or Jay did something Will’s keeping quiet?)

- Hiromu sends Daryl or Jr to keep an eye on Will and they send back troubling reports.

- Will used to show up at Hiromu’s door whenever he was in town and had a rough match, but he hasn’t done it since Hiromu got hurt and Hiromu’s getting pretty irritated about it.

- Hiromu’s not quite human and…mostly passes for one, but something happens to Will and Hiromu has to reveal himself to save him.

- Okada was mostly just amused by Will and Hiromu’s sneaking around but Jay is not having it.

- Will’s sick or overtraining and he winds up on Hiromu’s sofa when he finally crashes. Hiromu cooks for him.

Chase Owens/Bullet Club (hurt Chase)

 

Sign Up Prompt: I would love anything set during the Bullet Club schism era with some of the OGs getting itchy consciences at seeing Chase hurt even though they're not supposed to care anymore, I love that kind of torn loyalties. I ship Chase with a wide variety of the BC, I really love him getting fussed over.

 

Freeforms: Character suffered crushing defeat, Enemies to Lovers - Enemy caused hurt but regrets it and tries to make amends, Enemy taunts character after friends/partner don't notice their injuries/trauma, Comforted By An Enemy, Comforter Rains Down Retribution On Hurt Character's Behalf

 

If I HAVE to pick ships I really like Tanga/Chase and Tama/Chase, and I shipped Fale/Chase really hard during their Tag League.

 

Additional Prompts:

- During the schisms Chase getting murdered by Suzuki-gun during a tag match and Bullet Club getting all antsy and tense watching even though they do not care even a little bit, then going OTT against Suzuki-gun next time.

- Tanga sneaking around to check up on Chase after they go against each other in a tag match.

- pre or post-schism, anything with Chase getting hurt and the BC fussing over him, I love it.

 

David Finlay/Juice Robinson (hurt David)

 

Sign Up Prompt: I am big big big into Jay being awful to Finlay and Juice Not Having It. I would love anything with Juice being wildly in love with him without realizing it until he's forced to, especially if Jay taunts him into realizing it. Jay being the worst possible person and Juice realizing a lot of things about himself when he's confronted with it would be fantastic.

 

Freeforms: Knife Wounds, Enemy taunts friends/partner for not noticing character's injuries/trauma, Hiding Trauma, Not Actually Unrequited Love, Protectiveness, Drunken Confessions

 

 

No additional prompts, just anything with Jay being the worse person imaginable and Juice completely blowing his top when he finds out about it and realizing how in deep he is. Finlay being sad and hurting and Juice being stupid in love with him is where I’m at right now.

 

Lucha Underground

 

Any Pairing

 

Sign Up Prompt: I LOVE magic nonsense and time travel and dramatic rescues, there is nothing too hokey. I love true form stuff (Angelico is actually an angel, Drago getting to stretch his wings, etc) Have Ivelisse and Havoc have to rescue Angelico from the Aztec afterlife after he's been sacrificed/when Vampiro or Catrina's used death magic on him/he's sacrificed himself to save them and they are Not Having It. For Drago and Aerostar I love the time travel and how Aerostar never gave up on him when Kobra had him, please give me all the failed rescue attempts and Drago dealing with the aftermath of all that.

 

Freeforms: Brainwashing, Aftermath of Torture, broke under torture, Surrender to enemy in exchange for the other's safety, Accepting Torture to Protect a Loved One, Forced to harm a loved one, Dark Magic, Magical Sickness, Magical Corruption, Wings clipped/cut off, Wanting To Help Hurt Character But Not Knowing How To Do It, Exposed to harmful magical item, Time Travel - time traveler keeps making everything worse, Time Loop - Character A Keeps Failing to Save Character B, Time Travel - Past Version Of Loved One Comforts Traveler

 

Additional Prompts:

 

- ANYTHING set during Drago’s captivity by the Reptile tribe, from the brainwashing on down.

- I love wing fic and Angelico or Drago are great for it

- Aerostar saves Drago via time travel but sacrifices himself in the process, so Drago voluntarily resets the timeline

- Angelico getting hurt coming with complications due to his angelic nature and Ivelisse and Havoc not knowing what the fuck to do about this.

- Kobra sending Drago after Aerostar as a loyalty test and Aerostar letting Drago hurt him because he doesn’t want him to suffer worse consequences from Kobra.

- Angelico’s angelness being stolen and him being anything from cranky to at death’s door about it.
