Dear Chocolate Boxer

[redleaderfic]

Hello Writer! I hope something in this letter is helpful to you! I promise I will be over the moon with any of these pairings and with any rating, both sweet fluff and explicit sex is welcome (although granted some pairings are more suited to sweet fluff 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, breathplay, 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.)

I LOVE supernatural goings on, including but not limited to: mysterious curses, stumbling over artifacts that look innocent but aren’t, dream walking, spells and spellcraft, especially if it’s an inexperienced character doing it or if there are unexpected consequences.

I’m a fan of sex pollen stories of all types but I’m especially fond of one sided sex pollen where one character stumbles over the sex pollenated one and has to figure out what to do.

I’m also very big on bets, especially sexual bets between antagonistic characters.

DNW: A/B/O, facesitting, bathroom related bodily fluids, D/s with a lot of negotiation, masked wrestlers being unmasked. Kayfabe only.

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.

NJPW

Will Ospreay/Hiromu Takahashi

I love everything about these two and the last few weeks have been a gift. I would love any story that gets them to push out of their flirty status quo (although I do very much love their flirty status quo!) I’m especially fond of Will showing up at Hiromu’s door in some amount of poorly hidden distress and/or Hiromu having to force himself to take things seriously because Will is trouble. I’m very into Jay’s reign of terror in Chaos period, feel free to make Jay the worst possible person to Will. I also love quiet post match moments, with Hiromu picking up Will up after WK or reaching out to Will during that rough stretch he had during BOSJ. I’m also into the two of them trying to sneak around and being very bad at it, and Hiromu demanding updates from his long suffering faction while he’s injured and bored and worried about/wants to troll Will from afar.

Sanada/Zack Sabre Jr.

These two have such great chemistry. I love how easily Sanada can make ZSJ lose his cool and how much Sanada seems to enjoy winding ZSJ up. I would love anything with Sanada pretending to offer to teach ZSJ the Paradise Lock as a way to get him the ring with him without so many eyes on them. Any pretense to get the two of them in the ring and grappling with that leading to something more, or Sanada antagonizing ZSJ to make him blow up until ZSJ realizes what’s going on. Sanada just really, really likes ZSJ wrapped up around him, and they both like pushing the envelope as far as it goes. It’s not quite hate sex but it’s definitely bad idea rival sex.

Karl Fredericks/Yuya Uemura

Friends who staunchly refuse to admits they’re friends are my favorite thing. Fredericks and Uemura’s are so cute and fun; they’re so clearly fond of each other but the dojo rivalry means they can only express it through trolling. And Fredericks has outright called Uemura beautiful! (I mean, he’s not wrong.) I would love anything that forces them to break out of the faux rivalry – maybe Fredericks gets hurt or takes a bad beating while Uemura is serving out his Young Lion ringside duties and has to watch, or Fredericks goes quiet on twitter and Uemura slowly realizes something is very wrong in LA. I would also be very into the two sending increasingly racy pictures to each other while they’re separated, first just as a joke and increasingly turning serious.

Jay White/David Finlay

Bring on the hatesex! I love these two dysfunctional as possibly, two people who should let each other go but can’t quite manage it. I’m fine with the sex ranging from just a very bad idea to outright noncom. I would love Jay tormenting Finlay while he’s laid up injured, showing up at his house needing to take out his loss at MSG on someone (and Finlay knowing he would) or Jay welcoming him back to NJPW in a very Jay way. I like Finlay knowing Jay is terrible but not being able to let go of his old friend, and Jay both using this against him and deep down knowing that Finlay isn’t wrong about him, as much as he would be loathe to admit it. I like Finlay sneaking around with Jay, knowing that no one would understand and frankly not understanding himself most of the time. These two are good duo for bets – maybe Jay tries to “encourage” Finlay by offering that if Finlay gets a pin in WTL, he gets Jay for the night, but if he takes a pin Jay gets him instead. I like Jay playing those kinds of mind games, making up rules that would let him be around Finlay on what he believes are his terms.

El Phantasmo/Taiji Ishimori

They’re so impressed with each other! I love bad guys being enamored with each other. I would especially love fic from Ishimori’s POV, either him picking ELP up after his loss to Will or just having a “Oh no, I really do like this monster” – maybe ELP takes a scary Hidden Blade in a match and Ishimori gets shaken up when he doesn’t get up right away, or ELP winds up on the wrong end of a SZG beating and Ishimori finds himself still fuming over it hours later. Feel free to insert Ishimori into the ELP/Robbie/Will circle of pining, with Ishimori maybe thanking Robbie for defecting because ELP is a better partner or dirty talking to ELP what they’re going to do to Will and Robbie the next time they fight.

Robbie Eagles/El Phantasmo

The ELP->Robbie->Will circle of pining was one of my favorite things from NJPW this past year. I want anything with Robbie and ELP falling into bed, possibly to Robbie’s confusion – ELP being hurt while they’re both at an indie show Robbie being too decent a human being to not help, or ELP picking a fight backstage that turns into hatesex. Maybe ELP makes a habit of slipping his room key into Robbie’s bag and Robbie finally has a day bad enough to take him up on the offer! I would also be very into ELP teasing Robbie about the how ridiculously flirty Will and Hiromu have been since Hiromu came back. (“I’m sure Ospreay smiles at you like that all time” maybe!) Or even Hiromu picking up that Robbie is making heart eyes at Will and not able to resist poking him or being more overt about the flirting to stake his claim, leading to Robbie using that room key. I would also love anything with the Bullet Club Demon – maybe ELP is being punished for Robbie’s defection and Robbie picks up on it, or ELP gets increasingly desperate to bring Robbie back into the fold.

Chase Owens/Kota Ibushi

Chase refusing to give up on Kota joining Bullet Club despite the very real risk to his health that results in is the best and every time Chase throws up that too sweet I hope this will be the time Kota will respond (but of course he doesn’t.) I would love anything with the two of them, from that first time they were teaming to Chase’s sad exile and especially to now, where they’re on different sides but only because Kota chooses it to be that way. I like the two of them falling into old patterns despite themselves – maybe Chase gets hurt and Kota can’t put it out of his mind, or Chase can’t bring himself to leave the night Kota loses the IC title to Naito. I love that kind of thing. I would also be very into Jay ordering Chase to seduce Kota into the BC if necessary and Chase quickly realizing that…probably isn’t going to work, but Kota is willing to help him save face and things wind up happening anyway. I’m very into the both of them being in love with Kenny and his absence hanging over everything – Chase being loyal to Kenny cost him a lot and I don’t think Kota would forget that. Basically I’d like anything with them on the same side for a night (or a tour) even if they both know odds are good it won’t last beyond that.

WWE/NXT

Adam Cole/Finn Balor

I want some good old fashioned mind games here. I would very much love anything with Adam trying to seduce Finn into TUE and Finn going along with it for a while before turning with tables. I am also very much into Adam’s traumatic Bullet Club past – did Finn bring him back from the dead all that time ago? If so, I would love Finn lording that over him and the who going to dangerous places with it – Adam rapidly losing control of the situation and trying to hide it while Finn revels in his full eldritch power. Feel free to go dark and spooky.

Dominik Dijakovic/Keith Lee

These two fit into my “friends who don’t admit they’re friends” dynamic so, so well. Keith Lee is so obviously fond of Dijakovic, especially lately, while Dijakovic veers between seeming in awe of Lee and determined to keep his eye on the prize. Dijakovic once lost a match because he got so distracted watching Lee pounce Adam Cole into orbit! These two are made for locker room hookups. I would also be very into Lee rescuing Dijakovic from a TUE (or whoever) beatdown and things going from there. These two are perfect for tropey goodness: force them to share a bed or hit Dijakovic with inconvenient sex pollen or put them in a long road trip. I would also love fic with the two of them falling in love match by match.

Adam Cole/Bobby Fish/Kyle O'Reilly/Roderick Strong

Adam Cole/Bobby Fish/Kyle O'Reilly

I love how much the rest of TUE love Adam Cole. I would like any fic with the team doting on their monster of a leader, from putting him back together after a rough night or fuming while watching him get the worst of a beating. I would also be very into them taking revenge on anyone who dared touch Adam. Title win celebrations are also very appreciated! Again, I am very into Adam’s Bullet Club/BTE backstory – I would love Bobby and Kyle panicking over Adam’s death and maybe going to extreme lengths to bring him back. I would also love anything with the rest of TUE helping Adam deal with the nightmares/claustrophobia/other associated trauma from his brush with death. With Roddy I would like some kind of initiation, or finding out to his dismay that silly skit on BTE was real and Adam’s fucked up from it. I just love Adam’s crew looking out for him.

Aleister Black/Velveteen Dream

Please put every tropey, supernatural plot point you’ve ever dreamed of into this story, I love it all. I would love fic from any time but I admit I’m very interested in fic since they’ve been separated. Meeting in dreams, trying to help each other from away through (possibly ill-advised) spells, all of that. Was the earring Velveteen was very conspicuously wearing a signal, or had Aleister given it to him? Did Aleister contact Velveteen after the ambush by TUE? Putting current circumstances aside, I am always down for fic centering around Aleister’s attack by Johnny, be it Velveteen awkwardly sitting vigil or trying to save him. I love them so much and would like anything with the two of them reaching out to each other.

AEW

Rey Fénix/Pentagón Jr.

The running theme of Fenix running out to save Penta from attacks Penta deserves, jump into fights Penta’s started or just in general hugging Penta at every chance he gets is a joy. I really like a Fenix who’s been shamefully pining after Penta for a while and channeling all of that into daredevil antics. I would love the two of them hooking up in the locker room and not thinking about it, Fenix fantasizing about hooking up with Penta and rationalizing to himself that if they’re wearing the masks it’s okay. I would also very much like Fenix having something supernatural going on with him, either a similar immortality to his LU counterpart or some amount of precognition (seeing his next “life” as it were) while his beloved charismatic brother is fragile and mortal, or Fenix doing something rash to avenge Penta (like when Matt stole Penta’s mask.) basically anything that has Fenix codependently wrapped up in his brother is ways that go beyond brotherly I will be overjoyed with.

Lucha Underground

Son of Havoc/Ivelisse Velez/Angelico

I miss these three all teaming together so much. Have Havoc pick up Angelico hitchhiking somewhere on the lonesome road (either going to the Temple or maybe even before reuniting there, the two of them being surprised to see each other again?) or come to the rescue after Worldwide Underground broke his leg last year, bringing him home out of a lack of any other ideas. I loved how the three of them all got on each other’s nerves but were a perfect team, a three way unwanted, accidental soulbond would be great. Maybe an AU where one of them gets sacrificed and the other two ride to the rescue? I’m a big fan of Actual Angel Angelico – have him save Havoc or Ivelisse from Catrina’s death magic but it corrupts his angelic nature and they have to figure out how to fix him. Or maybe Pentagon breaks his arm and Havoc and Ivelisse have to take care of him, falling back in love in the process? Or Angelico and Havoc bonding after Ivelisse has left them behind, knowing there’s a missing piece. (and then they go out to get her back.) And title celebrations are always welcome!

Drago/Aerostar

Anything with these two, they are my LU OTP of OTPs. Aerostar desperately trying plan after plan to save Drago and all of them failing, or him breaking time and erasing himself in a last ditch effort, leaving Drago to have to save him now. I love time travel and couples meeting at different points of their timelines, I would be all for first meeting fic where the first time Drago meets Aerostar isn’t the first time Aerostar meets him and vice versa. Drago going after Aerostar while he’s brainwashed because he knows Aerostar is important but doesn’t remember why, and Aerostar letting it happen (or Drago consciously doing it because he wants to push Aerostar away for his own good!) Aerostar being used to break Drago, either because Kobra threatened him or actually tortured him to get Drago to give in, with Aerostar not remembering. Fic back in the past showing how Drago broke away from the Reptiles the first time around, especially if Aerostar was the catalyst for it. And reunion fic, with these two learning each other again (especially since Drago had that big crisis and flew off to find himself, only to promptly come back the hot second Aerostar was in the slightest amount of peril.) I would also like Drago being Aerostar’s port in the storm while he’s doing the terrible things he has to do to combat the gods, with Aerostar trying to keep Drago from getting too involved because he already almost lost him once and can’t bear to risk it again (and Drago of course not caring for that at all.)

Crossover Fandom

Pentagon Jr. (Lucha Underground)/Ricochet (WWE)

What I’m looking for here is poor Ricochet’s past showing up on his front door, perhaps literally. In this set up Ricochet was Prince Puma (which is semi-canon anyway, thank you Velveteen) with LU being a closed universe the mask had let him visit and that he’d been forced to leave when he lost it – not that he’d especially minded by that point. But when we’d last we’d left things with Pentagon, he’d just been betrayed by his mentor, who was in league with the Aztec doomsday cult and been marked for death at best or sacrifice at worst. I would love a desperate, very terrified Pentagon contacting Ricochet or literally showing up at his door at a loss of where else to turn and Ricochet being forced to deal with a nightmare he’d almost convinced himself really had just been a dream. Maybe Ricochet has to decided whether helping Pentagon is worth risking the LU universe getting a hold in his world too, or the gods/Vampiro/etc trying to tempt him into giving Pentagon up. I’m very here for anything with LU Pentagon and Ricochet having to deal with each other while trying to prevent the end of at least one world. Feel free to pour the trauma on poor Pentagon! Gods torturing him in his dreams, trying to possess him, he and Ricochet not being able to tell if people they meet are from their world or the LU one, all of that. Go nuts.
