Trick or Treat Letter
Sep. 2nd, 2019 09:04 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sailorkittyHello, dear Trick or Treat writer, artist and/or pinch-hitter!
Under the cut are the fandoms I'm requesting for Trick or Treat.
I'll be equally happy for any of the requested characters. Some of them have more writing than others, because I'm not equally good at coming up with prompts for all of them. This does not mean that I want them any less.
The optional ships listed are entirely optional - Sure, I'll be happy to see an A/B fic, but I'll be just as happy to read the adventure where A goes out and does whatever. I'll also enjoy A&B fic, but don't like you have to include two character, I'll be happy for just the one. This is a genfic exchange, so just go with whatever you feel would be most fun to write.

-Detailed uniforms/dresses
-Historically correct clothing
-Scenes of characters doing things, 'in action' so to speak
DNW: Trans headcanons, AUs*, grimdark, modern politics/attitudes in historical fandoms** Modern Mental health terminology(I don't mind if a character is written as having X or Y, but I would prefer not having it named or diagnosed, unless it is referred to in a period-specific way such as ‘Shell-Shock’) Homo/transphobia-free AU, Major character death.
*Canon divergence is fine!
**IE Characters being unrealistically accepting of homosexuality, not conforming to gender roles, etc(Unless established in canon).
Desert Peach
Rosen Kavalier
I'd love some backstory for Rosen! We know he's a foster kid (Going off of Barr's notes), yet he's still made officer in the Luftwaffe. And he has been a pimp. I really want to know the story behind this, was there forgery involved? Contacts? Scum and/or villainy? Sleeping around?
Barring that, Rosen being Rosen on a special Rosen mission is always appriciated.
Udo Schmidt
Isador Gulphstein Udo Schmidt, Sinker of Ship. There has to be a story here. One possibly filled with cringe, shenanigans, and innocent whistling. Please tell me everything about Udo's brief stint in the Kriegsmarine!
Barring that, I'd also love to hear about 'normal' days in Afrika, ie 'important missions', pranks, and maybe the backstory as to how he ended up in a dress at the cabaret?
Pfirsich Rommel
Please tell me all about Pfirsich desperately trying to keep his battalion from blowing each other up. Or his time after the war, settling into Berlin with his family. I'd also be perfectly happy to see anything about his relationship with his son, wether it's a confused but Herr Oberst trying to figure out how to make formula, or an older Pfirsich visiting Tunisia.
Kjars Winzig
Again, backstory would be lovely. I'm very curious as to how he got into jazz, how it all started and perhaps also how it all ended. Was Dagmar involved? Did she go with big brother to jazz clubs, or were they always kind of distant? I'd also love to hear about his injury in the war, how he comes to cope with it.
Miki
We get very little of Miki, but she is -such- a survivor! And she doesn't let the handsome officer push her around, either. I'd love to hear about how she grew up, how the war affected her, how she got to tag along with Kjars, how she lives after the war. According to Barr's notes, she ended up marrying Kjars, but fic doesn't need to be focused on their relationship. A Polish housewife settling into postwar Berlin is interesting enough!
Arnold
Arnold is in the Wehrmacht. According to Barr's blog, there was a lot of beer involved. Please tell me more about this decision. Is he actually good at anything in the army? Is any of his friends in the same battalion? How did he even end up in the battalion? What is he doing at the end of the war? How is his parents explaining this to the neighbours? Does he end up in a US prison camp at some point? Is one of his school friends a guard? Just, everything about this is baffling. Please tell me more.
(Very Optional)Ships:
Winzig/Miki, Winzig/Udo, Rosen/Pfirsich, Udo ---> Pfirsich (one-sided)
-The boys in off-duty outfits.
Canon-specific DNW:
-SS/SA uniforms prominently featured, or portrayed on nominated characters. Side characters mentioned in passing is fine, but I'd rather not receive any art or fic where the nominated characters are dressed in them. (Udo's riding breeches don't count)
-Anything dealing with Udo being sent to Siberia, unless it's a fix-it where that doesn't happen.
The Rat Patrol
Just go crazy with these! I'd love casefic(raidfic?) where the boys go and tear up a base in true OTT Pulp Fiction style, but I'd be just as happy to see them make peace with Dietrich for the 456th time and work towards a shared goal. Lone raids are also, fun, especially if there are tanks involved. I'd also be happy for character studies or backstory.
(Very Optional)Ships:
Gereon Rath
I'd love casefic for this, wether it be set in Köln or in Berlin.
It would also be nice to see Gereon's relationship with his brother's family, and how it changes or has changed through the years. Seeing Gereon's relationship with his brother would be interesting, too.

(Very Optional)Ships:
Winzig/Miki, Winzig/Udo, Rosen/Pfirsich, Udo ---> Pfirsich (one-sided)
Canon-specific art prompts
-Folk costumes!-The boys in off-duty outfits.
Canon-specific DNW:
-SS/SA uniforms prominently featured, or portrayed on nominated characters. Side characters mentioned in passing is fine, but I'd rather not receive any art or fic where the nominated characters are dressed in them. (Udo's riding breeches don't count)

The Rat Patrol
Sam Troy
Hans Dietrich
Just go crazy with these! I'd love casefic(raidfic?) where the boys go and tear up a base in true OTT Pulp Fiction style, but I'd be just as happy to see them make peace with Dietrich for the 456th time and work towards a shared goal. Lone raids are also, fun, especially if there are tanks involved. I'd also be happy for character studies or backstory.
(Very Optional)Ships:
Any of the above/Dietrich
Canon-specific Tricks: Danger, horror tropes, foolhardy do-or-die missions.
Canon-specific Treats: Boasting around the fire, letters to be sent home, army shenanigans, silly raids for things like wurst and/or entertainment, leaning on squad-mates in times of need.
Canon-specific DNW: Heavy PTSD. A few background mentions is fine, but I'd prefer it not to be the focus of fic for this fandom.
Babylon Berlin (TV)
Gereon Rath
I'd love casefic for this, wether it be set in Köln or in Berlin.
It would also be nice to see Gereon's relationship with his brother's family, and how it changes or has changed through the years. Seeing Gereon's relationship with his brother would be interesting, too.
Charlotte Ritter
One thing I really love about Charlotte is that her reaction to dubiously consensual sex is not 'ruined forever' or 'the end of the world'. Also, the fact that she seems to know the seedy underbelly(cough cough gay bar cough cough) of Berlin. Show me more of that resilience! Show me her adventures in Weimar Berlin! Show me her using alternative investigation methods that the police force probably doesn't approve of, but won't ask about. Or just Lotte trying to be a good older sister, despite the world conspiring against it.
Canon-specific Tricks: Stake-out gone wrong, pursued by thugs, injuries, weaponry.
Canon-specific Treats: Spending time with family, swimming, partying in a decadent bar.
Canon-specific DNW:
-Nazis/SA. Brief mentions of nazi-affiliated characters/real life people is fine, as long as they are not the focus of the fic.
-Spoilers for S03.
Gereon/Charlotte
