Dear Chocolate Boxer

[redleaderfic]

I hit preview but not post and didn't check back for a whole day nooooooo /o\

Hello Chocolate Boxer! Thank you so much for offering one of my favorite ships and I'm sorry the full letter was a little late. Please don't be worried if the ship you offered has less prompts than some others, I promise that I would love any ship in this letter, I would not have requested it otherwise.

If we matched on art, I'm sorry for not having any specific prompts! Wrestling is very visual media so I hope a lot of the prompts should translate anyway? I'm very fond of ships wearing each other's gear/clothes or leaning against each other, and I like dramatic uses of mirrors and shadows as visual tropes.

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 especially when it’s one-sided, 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, unexpected acts of kindness, wrestling soulmates (and pairings where one knows he isn’t the other’s soulmate and is okay with it.)

I love supernatural nonsense of all kinds. I love dream walking, magically appearing in each other’s dreams, one half of a couple seeing the other is in trouble in dreams, any kind of nonsense involving dreams.

DNW: A/B/O, formal D/s with a lot of negotiation, facesitting, bathroom related bodily fluids, masked wrestlers being unmasked (unless specified! I enjoy kinking on the masks, but I don’t want them casually coming off!), pregnancy. Please keep it kayfabe only.

Please do not break up any canon couples, please either don’t bring up the canon SO at all or assume that it’s a hall pass situation that doesn’t need to be discussed. No Covid focus unless it's tropey fun with quarantine, please.

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.

AEW

Kris Statlander/Orange Cassidy (AEW)

I love how well these two weirdos fit together. I would be up for anything with them, from BTE style shenanigans to space adventures. She made an action figure of Chuckie for, um…reasons? :D I would love anything with her having weird alien powers that Orange just takes as a matter of course. I’m always very into anything hurt/comfort and would be all for Kris being there for Orange after a hard loss (especially if he’s trying making himself hold it together in front of Chuck and Trent.)

-

I loved Orange not knowing how ladder matches worked! He and Kris trying to figure those out together would be fun
- Orange stowing away on her spaceship
- Orange’s dreams breaking into Kris’, especially if he’s having some post-match nightmares
- Orange getting badly injured in a match and Kris instinctively saving him with her powers
- Anything with alien powers or Kris having alien anatomy (tentacles or pheromones are great) and Orange not being fazed at all

Pac/Pentagon Jr/Rey Fenix (AEW)

I love these three and am so glad they’re back. Heel versions, face versions, it’s all good! They’re so intense about each other, Fenix especially, and I would love anything that leans into that. V-style poly centered on Pac and full triad are both good, I ship Penta/Fenix too so don’t worry on that front. Pac being a kind of go between sexually between the other two could also be very hot, the kind of denial where Fenix and Penta tell themselves it’s fine as long as Pac is there, the two of them walking up to edge of the taboo with Pac knowing exactly what’s happening and helping it along.

-

What happened post match after Pac came back
- Heel fic with them menacing Orange, I loved that feud
- Having fun with the masks in bed – one of them taking his mask off when Pac asks, but Pac has to keep his eyes closed, or the two of them blindfolding him (I would want Pac POV for that, tho!
- Just Pac in general wrapping his mind around having friends who missed him and needed him, he’s been the lone Bastard for a long time now and I think even he was surprised at how intensely he was missed

Pentagon Jr/Rey Fenix (AEW)

They’re SO physical with each other, I love it. Fenix especially loves hugging his brother so much and I support him. I’m very into fic where Fenix is pining for Penta and doing a very bad job of hiding it. I’m very into Fenix kinking on Penta’s mask, maybe secretly wearing it (and possibly jerking off) while Penta’s asleep, Fenix getting turned on helping Penta paint up for matches (or the opposite, Fenix getting turned on when Penta just has the mask on, no face paint of contacts) and him or the both of them telling themselves that sex is fine if they both still have the masks.

Lucha Underground

Aerostar/Drago (Lucha Underground)

My OTP! I am good for anything here, there can never be enough. I am especially here for anything about Aerostar trying to save Drago from the Reptile tribe, possibly to his own peril. I love time travel plots and Aerostar is made for them. I’m also very into post rescue or post canon, with the battle against the gods coming to a head. I also love first meetings, especially if they meet each other out of order.

-

But seriously, ANYTHING around Drago’s capture. Aerostar being caught and tortured to help turn him, Drago being sent after Aerostar as a loyalty test, Aerostar breaking time in a last ditch effort to save him, bring it all.
- Fic set during their best of 5 series – it seemed like they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and I’d love them figuring each other out again
- I loved Drago’s guilt after he was freed from Kobra Moon’s control, especially how he tried to leave only to come back the instant Aerostar was in trouble XD
- Any kind of true form fic – actual dragon Drago, whatever Aerostar looks like when he’s not pretending to be human, I can never get enough of that

Pentagon Jr & Vampiro (Lucha Underground)

What a fascinating relationship they had. I would love ANYTHING set post-canon, we were left with the two of them of opposite sides – how did that turn out? Did Vampiro decide to turn against his own maestro to save his prodigal apprentice? What does he do if his allies catch Penta? That period where Penta was injured by Matanza is also ripe for fic, as would be S1 Vampiro POV fic of him watching and training Penta from the shadows.

Pentagon Jr/Prince Puma (Lucha Underground)

These two were so great foils for each other, they’re my hatesex OTP. I would love anything set during their S2 rivalry, they had so much charisma and mentor issues to spare. Fic set during Puma’s own apprenticeship with Vampiro would also be great, especially since we know how that turned out – could Penta be a final test for Puma? Does Puma show up in Penta’s dreams while he’s recovering from that Black Lotus beatdown? I want anything with these two being super intense and in each other’s faces.

NJPW

David Finlay/Jay White (NJPW)

GENERALLY these two are strictly a noncon/dubcon ship for me, but considering Jay’s current state of mind I would also love a broken Jay White showing up at Finlay’s door with no where else to go, and Finlay not able to tell him no. But even there I would still want them at least a little dysfunctional, there’s a lot of water under that bridge and Jay is kind of poison even when he’s not trying to be. (Maybe Finlay keeps Jay being there a secret/lies to Juice about it, etc. I like them a little codepenent.) I would also be very into something being WRONG with Jay – Bullet Club Demon problems, secret vampire, Gedo and/or Evil having drugged him or used magic to get him to stay (or leave!), Ibushi’s apotheosis having an unexpected effect on the man who let him finally become God, etc., and he runs to the one person he knows/hopes always loved him.

-

That said, asshole King Switch Jay is always appreciated, him sexily menacing Finlay always brings me great joy. Jay drugging him or sex pollening him is always welcome, especially if Jay threatens Juice to get his way or makes Finlay take a call from Juice in the middle of things
- Jay and Finlay playing games around Tag League, like making bets last year that if Finlay won he could do whatever he wanted with Jay, but when Finlay gets pinned Jay gets his way that night, or Jay calling him up to “critique” Finlay’s matches this year.
- Jay hiding an injury but Finlay knows him too well. He shouldn’t care, but….
- I really like Jay kinking on Finlay’s hair; pulling it, grabbing it, threatening to cut it, all good

El Desperado/Hiromu Takahashi (NJPW)

These two had quite a year, huh? I loved that match and I love them, they have so much history and I would love anything that touches on that, from young lion days to now. I would be very into Hiromu kinking on Despey’s mask – Hiromu getting off on wearing it, Despey not letting Hiromu see his face/make him keep his eyes closed during sex, anything like that. I’m also very into leaning on each other when there’s trouble in their own factions, even if they would never admit that’s what they’re doing – Despey cheering up Hiromu after Evil’s defection, because he’s known him longer than anyone and knows how, or say Zack having a scary injury/close call and Hiromu immediately dropping the joking around to prop Despey up, or Desperado getting injured himself and hiding it from his faction (because other people are also banged up worse, it’s not serious enough to be fussed over, etc) but he doesn’t care if he’s a mess around Hiromu.

El Phantasmo/Robbie Eagles (NJPW)

These two are such a good hateship! I love how deep the bad feelings still run a year out – they’ve hated each other now much long than they were ever friends! I love ELP antagonizing Robbie because he still can’t let go – these two were made for locker room hatesex. I would be very into ELP and Robbie antagonizing each other via social media or text during lockdown out of boredom and it gradually gets more familiar/possibly turns into phone sex. And I’m always for anything with ELP getting in over his head with even worse people and Robbie saving him despite himself.

-

ELP and Robbie harassing each other over social media over the long, frustrating lockdown and it turning into phonesex (or zoom sex?) despite themselves
- Anything set before everything went back, with the cracks already showing
- Robbie being confused and hurt by Will leaving Chaos and running into ELP in Japan at exactly the right emotionally compromised moment.

Jay White/Tetsuya Naito (NJPW)

These two are my favorite bad idea. I love Jay turning up at Naito’s hotel room door like a bad penny and Naito always letting him in despite himself. They have SUCH good chemistry – I’ve always liked the idea of Naito envying Jay having so much confidence so young, wondering what he could have done if he hadn’t been so busy tying himself up in knots to be what people wanted him to be at the same age. They’re so good at getting under each other’s skin and enjoying every second of it. And considering the current situation, I would be very into Naito seeking out Jay after WK or Dash – if anyone understands being knocked for a loop and full of self doubt after a hard loss, it is Tetsuya Naito.

Sanada/Zack Sabre Jr. (NJPW)

These two have such great match chemistry and I would love to see that carry over outside the ring. I always enjoy seeing faction members involved with people in enemy factions and these are an especially fun version – rivals but not bone deep enemies. Maybe being at a distance means Sanada can spot Zack hiding an injury that he’s successfully kept his own faction from noticing, or some of the new enemies they’ve made in Bullet Club or the Empire catch Zack on his own and Sanada stumbles over it. Or maybe during lockdown Sanada and Zack get assigned to the same limited training time at the dojo and gradually get more comfortable with each other. And I always love how frustrated Zack is that he can’t figure out the Paradise Lock, I would be all for anything with Sanada pretending to teach him and things getting sexy from there. Grappling turning into sex was made for these two.

Suzuki-gun & Zack Sabre Jr. (NJPW)
Taichi/Zack Sabre Jr. (NJPW)
El Desperado/Zack Sabre Jr. (NJPW)

Putting all the SZG prompts together for clarity’s sake! Zack is my favorite member of Suzuki-gun and I would love anything with him and his team, gen or slash (in addition to Taichi and Despey I also ship him with MiSu, I just didn’t have the room to request that too) from them first meeting him in Noah to recruiting him to up to now.

General (but not all Gen!) Zack & Suzuki-gun prompts:

-

Anything from the Noah days or flashing back to the Noah days – Suzuki already scouting him when they were in theory still enemies, Zack being roughed up or sex pollened by resentful freelancers and pretty much falling into their laps, Despey or Taichi or all three saying in contact with Zack in between him leaving Noah and coming back to Japan with NJPW, especially while he was doing the CWC and getting tempted by WWE money. I’d love to see those early seeds being sowed.
- Suzuki-gun helping out in little ways when Zack decided to stay through the lock out – Suzuki pulling out the intimidation to make sure Zack gets a spiffier flat than maybe NJPW could have gotten him, Zack having to couch surf a while before getting settled, anything with him having to lean on them a little bit. He also had a birthday in July and trying to give him nice one.
- Suzuki-gun fussing over Zack (in Suzuki-gun ways) after his close call in his G1 match with Juice, especially since none of them could be in the building with him when it happened.
- We haven’t seen a lot of Miho with the Covid restrictions and I’d love her view on Zack, especially in a Zack/Taichi fic. Was she jealous, or was it an immediate, “Well, if Lord Taichi loves him, so do I!” switch flip? We don’t get to see them interact much and I’d love to see some of them – maybe her hyperfocus on all things Taichi means she spots that Zack is hurting in a way the rest miss, or Zack notices the little things she does to make Taichi’s life smoother (and probably Zack’s too, and the rest of the faction) now that he’s around full time. (Let’s face it, if a vegan birthday cake needs to be picked up Zack’s Steak Shack addict teammates probably do not know where to go.)
- Suzuki getting deaged or swapped out with his younger, Pancrease self and Zack being the one to find out, especially if it happens while the two of them are teaming or maybe during one of the Tag Leagues Zack was teaming with Taichi and young Misu doesn’t see any reason to let that continue.
- We know from Chuck Taylor that Zack is an affectionately handsy, I Love You drunk and it would be fun to see him being mushy over faction.

El Desperado/Zack

I loved that period when Despey was Zack’s constant cornerman and would love more of that – Despey taking a hit saving Zack in a match and getting hurt and Zack fussing over him, Despey knowing when Zack’s trying to hide an injury, etc. I am also a very big fan of the two of them sparring and it leading to sex – they’re both such great submission artists and if anyone would get off on getting put into/putting the other one into holds, it’s these two. Or maybe Despey was the one who first spotted Zack as someone with SZG potential back in Noah and started putting out the recruitment feelers?

Taichi/Zack

These two have won me over so much over the past year. They hug so much! I can never resist affectionate heels. I’d really go for anything. I’m equally found of “been fucking all this time” and “Taichi HAS IT BAD but doesn’t realize it until [dramatic moment]” feel free to go with either!

-

Episode tag for that Tag League match two years ago where Zack pinned Suzuki and Taichi looked like he was going to kiss him on the mouth then and there
- In fact, any post match episode tag – I love how Taichi dives on top of Zack after pins, they’re so affectionate with each other. Post title win would be great, as would Taichi feeling antsy and guilty watching Zack taking a beating in one of the rougher Tag League matches. I would also be very into Zack getting hurt – passing out backstage, getting knocked out during a match – and Taichi quietly freaking out
- It’s funny how Taichi seemed fine with staying a junior until Zack joined Suzuki-gun as a heavyweight, right?
- Taichi and Zack hooking up during their Noah days and Taichi catching feelings but being able to keep a lid on it until Zack joined back up with them in NJPW
- Zack playing along with the Lord Taichi and “my Holy Emperor” thing and Taichi getting very flustered at how into that he is
- Zack crashing on Taichi’s couch during lockdown and eventually moving over to his bed
- Zack feeling guilty about letting the Iron Fingers get stolen and doing something reckless (possibly demon related!) to get them back

WWE/NXT

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

I love TUE and especially how much they all love Adam (and lately Kyle!) I’m especially fond of fic set around Adam’s BTE resurrection but love the three of them (or four!) together so there’s really no wrong way to go there

-

TUE watching Adam take a beating in a tag match and slowly losing their minds over it, with them making Adam feel better after the match (dark fic set in their heel days of them doing bad things to the ones to hurt Adam more than welcome, as well as the fluffier sexy kind of h/c!)
- Anything around Roddy deciding to join TUE, both his thought process going in and the welcoming party after
- Any kind of H/C after hard matches
- What happened backstage after Bobby murdered EC3 to defend Adam’s honor
- Adam and Kyle (and Roddy, depending when it’s set) putting on a show to cheer injured Bobby up
- Sparring and training fic that turns sexy
- A frustrated Kyle declaring that he would do anything it took to be world champion and something supernatural hears him, dropping in a world where he is indeed as successful as he could have dreamed but Future Shock and/or reDRagon never happened

Damian Priest/Io Shirai (WWE)

Give me post match victory celebrations with them both wearing just their titles, or Io showing up in Damian’s hot tub. Also very into her cheering him up after he lost his title! They’re both so cool and impressed with each other

Crossover Fandom

Kris Statlander (AEW) & The Guardians of the Galaxy (MCU)

Because of course Kris would know them! I’d especially like her to be old friends with Rocket or maybe Yondu, but anything that would get her sucked into whatever mess they’re in now but she is exactly their kind of weird. Ideally she’d drag Orange with her but I am very into any kind of space adventure. Or if you’d prefer Earth adventures, maybe they drop in on her for whatever reason and she has to smuggle some of them backstage (Groot could join the Dark Order!) or Peter remembers helping Yondu way back when and thinks of her when they need some extra muscle, or she’d helped out Rocket on a con and when he finds out she’s on Earth he decides to check things out. Just the Guardians backstage at AEW would be fun. (Drax and Mantis would LOVE it, both for very different reasons!)

Pentagon Jr. (Lucha Underground)/Ricochet | Prince Puma (WWE)

I love the idea of Ricochet losing his Prince Puma mask meant he was cast out of not just the Temple but couldn't access that reality anymore, and had just settled back into his "real" life (maybe even convincing himself that was all a dream!) when Penta shows up at his door desperate and on the run from murderous Aztec gods. I would love them dealing with each other and Ricochet protecting him despite himself. Or maybe Ricochet starts dreaming of the Temple and Penta contacts him through that? Ricochet certainly knows enough magic people to make a return visit possible, he did team with Aleister after all, and you know the Firefly Funhouse must connect to Dario’s Temple.
