Writing Likes:
I'm all about the non-traditional story structures and I also enjoy any tense, any POV, any length. All characters can use any pronouns. I know there's a minimum wordcount, but if you did a 10-drabble story cycle, you would have my respect forever. Any rating is a-okay.

Specific in-universe worldbuilding likes: Give me all of it! Emails, text conversations, overly descriptive set pieces, I love it all.

Please don't take the length of any of these sections as an indication of my enthusiasm for them! I love them all equally, and would be equally happy to receive any.

Art likes:
I love bright colors and muted pallets, abstract art, realistic art, cartoony, muted tones... basically, I like a lot of stuff.

My favorite thing in artwork is *emotion*, be that through the characters' expressions and body language or through the art style itself.

Mystery Flesh Pit National Park - Trevor Roberts

Hell yes! Hell yes! Hell yes! Good lord! I love this! It's a huge sandbox (no, it's a mystery flesh pit) and it seems like just SO MUCH FUN to play in. This would be an incredible place for a non-traditional format. In-universe documents?? A story from when it was just a weird tourist trap? The simple narrative of the 2007 disaster?? Jimmy Carter's staff diary on the trip out to the mystery pit? Gumption town council meeting minutes? What would the Pendleton National Park Collection signature blanket look like? Hell yes!!! Modern-day explorers? Future fic? POV of the creature whose flesh it is?? Yes! Yes! Hell yes!!!

Just... literally any direction leads to an incredible place. Feel free to flesh out a world with OCs, stick to the "canon characters" (such as they are), or just write a thousand words from the architecture firm hired to build out the National Park Visitor's Center. Oh man, I'm so pumped about this one!

Everything is bigger in Texas. Including the mystery flesh pit.

Canon specific opt-in: You can make this as weird and gross as you like.

Specific tag prompts:

Process for establishing eldritch superorganism as National Park: So. How'd that go? New NPS parks have to undergo a study--what does that look like? What were the hearings in Congress like? I could see this as a traditional narrative of someone who is championing the park or people who are key to its success, or like a series of transcripts or documents outlining hearings or executive branch actions.
Interactions with other parks offices/staff: I laughed to myself thinking about how different the park rangers for this park would be from the average park ranger, and how they might be exactly the same. What might a conference look like? Do they have site visits from other park staff? Are there any "lessons learned" or "best practices" at the Flesh Pit that could be useful to other parks? I'm okay with any brand of politics here. Please feel free to leave anything post 2024 election out of it, or feel free to lean in.

Fan art prompts:
I mentioned the Pendleton Blanket series above--that would be super fun to see. I'd love any sort of schematics. Artwork that could have come from an artist-in-residency program. How the NPS uniforms at this park differ from others. Postcards from the park! Travel posters!

FAQ: The "Snake Fight" Portion of Your Thesis Defense - Luke Burns

This fandom is so much fun. I can't wait to see what you create. I love a fandom that's basically based entirely on in-universe meta to begin with, but if you want to write a full story, be my guest!

Tag prompts:

Facilities' care and feeding between snake fights: we know from canon that there are different snakes. Where do they live, and who takes care of it? Is it the campus facilities office? The science offices where they house animal test subjects? Is there a lab devoted to the snakes? Do they have their own minders employed all year-round? Is there a Guy (gender neutral) for the snakes? Who does he have lunch with? Is he in a union?
History and development of tradition of snake fighting in academia: My god, academia is full of all kinds of nonsense, and you know this is no exception. How did it come to be? Was it a weird Oxbridge thing that spread worldwide, or is it something that only one specific institution does? What was its original purpose? Does it still serve that purpose?

Art prompts:
Snakes being cared for! Snake fights through history (hisstory?). Snake fighting costumes/methods through history. Weaponry available for use in snake fights, on display like the campus outdoors program or the library's A/V checkout room.

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1 - The Flaming Lips (Song)

Two things: 1) the robot is pink. 2) Yoshimi works for the city.

Specific tag prompts:

Meaning behind robot colors: Is it important that the robot is pink? Where did it come from? Does Yoshimi only fight the pink ones, or are there others? Expanded out... why robots? Whose are they? Is it a jeagar/mech situation? An evil scientist? Sentient AI?
Municipal department that includes fighting evil robots with martial arts: Straight from the lyrics of the song, "She has a black belt in karate/Working for the city she has to discipline her body." Tell me more about the government role she plays! Does she work in City Hall? When did it become a governmental position? How much of her job is training vs. fighting? What does the hiring process look like for this department? Is she in a union?

Art prompts:
Different robot colors and what they mean/specific skills of each. Training illustrations for new hires in the department outlining robot weaknesses and effective attacks. An image from a battle!

yo bro is it safe down there in the woods? yeah man it's cool - Tomislav Jagnjic

This art is so cool! I love the contrasting nature of the figures (big/small! spiky/round! friendshaped but large/horns and gun but small) and whatever the relationship between the two is. Are they both organic beings? Are they always on good terms? etc!

This fandom feels ripe for some folktales, filk, poems, maps, and other sort of more "old timey" forms of in-universe meta, which is so cool.

Tag specific prompts:

Travels of the Horned Figure: Does the Horned Figure travel only within the sight of the glowy-eyed hill beast, or do they go elsewhere? Do they pass through the woods often?
Inhabitants of the Woods: who lives there? Why might it be unsafe? What can the hillbeast see?

Art prompts:
Maps, renditions of the Horned Figure and hillbeast in a folk-art style, another perspective on the scene we can already see. I would also super enjoy a take on this art in your own style. Magical girl Horned Figure and Neko Atsume hillbeast? Hell yeah. What if they're both robots? You know I'm there for it. Just a straight-up rendition in the medium you prefer? Love to see it.

The Ministry of Time - Kaliane Bradley

I really enjoyed this book, and I'd love to see more of how it works! The fab four (narrator, Margaret, Arthur, and Graham) are my favorite characters, but I would also totally love to see something that dealt instead with the people behind the scenes of time travel itself, or the government structures in which they operate. In other words, any/no characters would also be totally acceptable to me for this prompt.

On an OPTIONAL DETAILS ARE OF COURSE OPTIONAL note, I thought a very fun dynamic might be a poly quad: Narrator dating Graham and Margaret and Graham dating narrator and Arthur, plus Arthur and Margaret being great buds.

A note: feel free to name the narrator or not as you see fit!

Fanfiction:

I feel like this is the prompt of mine that lends itself most to a plot hook--how do these characters work together to find out more information about time travel? It could take place during or post-canon. Or, how does time travel work overall. It could also be fun to have something from older!Narrator POV.

In-universe meta:

Epistolary would also be awesome for this prompt (do the characters write letters, especially post-canon?). The book talks a lot about the reports Narrator is supposed to be preparing--what do those look like? What do the reports of other employees of the Ministry look like? Diaries, journals, describing the schematics of the door/time travel doohickey, Margaret's movie reviews... anything could be fun here!

Fan art:

Some prompts/ideas: Margaret's fashion choices!! Maybe a then/now image of all the characters. All the characters on a date! Blueprints of time travel devices. A layout of the Ministry offices, the home of Graham and the Narrator, a map with notable locations on it.

Hello! Welcome! I'm so happy you're here! I can't wait to read what you have written for me!

My goodness, vidding is such hard work, anything you make would be amazing. I love vids set to songs, or songs set to vids. Animatics are amazing, as are clips from canon pulled together to tell a story.

IF is so cool. I like IF both large and small, on AO3 with chapters or on Twine. Strange storytelling is great.

Beep! Beep! - Louis Prima Song
The song!
The lyrics!

Okay, so I heard this song recently and I loved it. It's so silly, so full of "golden age of sci fi" pastiche, and I think there could be a very fun story here. Apparently it was inspired by the launch of Sputnik!

I left characters blank because I would take stories about any or all of them.

Fic prompts:

Why is she just beeping? Are her communications busted, or is that what she's choosing to send? Is that actually what the communications technology allows?
Who is the narrator? What was their relationship like before she left? What is is like when (if??) she returns?
The narrator's baby is fooling around with "some space cat" and "a satellite." Are these literal or figurative love interests? Is the narrator being paranoid, or has she shacked up with an alien on her trip to the moon? Any gender for any of the characters is great.
I would love something steeped in mid-century vibes as well. The vibes of the song kind of scream "amateur private space exploration" to me. Did she get tired of being the narrator's housewife? Is the narrator descending into madness without her? Did she meet up with Laika on the way?
Smut is great! Either with a satellite and/or a space cat (human/alien/machine all okay, all genders cool by me too) or with the narrator (though it sounds like maybe he was a little lacking? or am I just prejudiced against dudes from the 1950s criticizing their wives/girlfriends? who's to say?)
ALSO, there is a moonshot program in the 1950s that accepts women! What's that like?

Art prompts:

I would love something cartoony in the style of the 1950s. Realistic spacesuits and not are both welcome.
NASA visions of the future style??
Did you know the record (and sleeve) is in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum?? You could expand on that artwork.
I'd love to see the rocket ship's communications setup or an image from the launch or the narrator in his backyard looking up at the stars.

Deep Space Discounts (web series)

Here's a link to the playlist for all the released web episodes. At the time of writing, there are 5 episodes publicly available, releasing weekly on Fridays. If you want to base your story off just the first 5, I would be totally happy, but you can also check any that have been released by the time you start writing. I know writing for something that's coming out on a rolling basis can be stressful, but please know that I don't care if something is later contradicted in canon.

In case you haven't encountered the web series before, it's a very fun and short animated series with episodes ranging from 4 to 8 minutes. The series features Immy, a human, who has for some reason been imprisoned in an outer space Best Buy equivalent. All her coworkers are fun weird aliens. And also, there's some canonical chemistry between Immy and Vee.

Fic prompts:

I'm interested in any and all stories about this place. I requested Immy/Vee because I love them, but if you'd like to background them and focus more on worldbuilding, I'm also all about that.

What are the backstories of Immy, Vee, or any other characters?
Why is Immy incarcerated in the first place?
Is it possible to break out of Deep Space Discounts?
What does egg taste like to Immy? Can Vee eat it?
Can Immy and Vee go in a date in the fridge?
Outsider perspective featuring Beep or Gub? How Immy and Vee got together, as seen by all the other workers in the store?
Smut is wonderful! Any configuration of genitals is good, and maybe Vee has some nonstandard ones. Do they hang in the fridge for their first time, or do they have some fun in the neurovision after hours? A quick list of kinks/sexy things I would find fun for them: tentacles, strap ons, face sitting, light bdsm (no preference on top/bottom/dom/sub), first time with an alien/human, first time overall, fisting.

Art prompts:

Vee and Immy in the neurovision together.
In the style of Deep Blue Ink or your own style, Vee and Immy holding hands, kissing, or making love.
Immy and Vee looking out the window together, or tending to a small plant, or watching a movie/movie equivalent.

US Nationals 2022 Ice Free Dance - Madison Chock and Evan Bates

Here is a link to the ice dance from the Olympics that TOOK MY BREATH AWAY (it's the same performance as the US Nationals). I'm obsessed with everything about it--the CHEMISTRY, the MOVEMENT, the EMOTION. He's SO into her. I do think that Madison Chock's arm movements could indicate a less-humanoid alien as well if you'd like to go in that direction.

Writing prompts:

How did they meet? Did her craft encounter his first? Were they on a space walk? Was her form less corporeal before finding him?
From their dance, it feels like they met in space to me, and maybe even in zero g. Did they ever go on a planet together? Did they confer different abilities onto each other, such as not needing a space suit to breathe?
How can they communicate? Do they find common language, or a sci-fi technical fix, or just communicate through gesture and touch?
I'm okay if this swings tragic or weird or both--can they even be alive in the same place, or does the astronaut try and greet the alien only to remember that he actually can't breathe out there?
Smut is very welcome here! Any genital configuration, and I enjoy all kinds of ways sex could be more alien. Here's a quick list of kinks I would enjoy for this pairing: tentacles, pegging, sounding, light bdsm (no preference on which character matches top/bottom/dom/sub), spanking, face-sitting, sex pollen/sex pheremones, xeno, breeding (especially if she lays eggs in him, or if his genetic material is needed for the continuation of her species). Does she devour him after sex, or do they do really cute snuggles? Even though I said "no noncon," I'm okay with this being extremely dubious dubcon (it can hurt, there can be regrets, but ultimately I want them to enjoy each other, even if the encounter does end in someone's glorious death.

Art prompts:

Oh my gosh, any of their poses against a backdrop of space would be amazing.
A gestural drawing of their first encounter.
The two of them kissing, making love, leading each other through space, etc.
A depiction of any of the smutty scenarios above. Light gore okay, but I'd prefer a focus on the enjoyment of whatever's happening, even if it's weird, dangerous, and wrong.
If Madison Chock is depicting a more alien being, what would she look like?

Hello! Thank you for thinking of me for a podfic!

First and foremost, I want you to record what you're excited about. I can go into things fandom-blind and still enjoy a good story. I like podfics of all lengths and styles, from the shortest of filks to the longest of multivoices.

Rating:

I enjoy any rating of story you'd like to read! I love gen fluffy things, weird poetry, and straight up porn as well.

Do not want:

Over-editing to get rid of breaths. Let me hear you breathe! I once zeroed out all of my breaths, and the resulting fic still sounds weird to my ears.
Extreme changes in volume (some is fine--the spice of life, even! But extreme changes make me flinch)
Content: please no:
- underage (by which I mean overtly romantic or sexual situations between minors and adults, or explicitly sexual situations between minors under 16 (romance is fine for both parties under the age of 16))
- student/teacher dynamics
- incest
- overt animal abuse

My favorite things/things I very much enjoy in my podfics!

non-traditional formats
silly voices
sound effects
editing weirdnesses (have you been looking for an excuse to try that new effect? try it on me!)
I enjoy friends having fun together, so if you want to do a commentary read with a friend, that would be amazing!
not!fics, especially ones that are conversations
background noises
background music (especially swing-era jazz, I have terminal Ella Fitzgerald brain)
soundscaping
just straight-down-the-middle readings as well
re-pods

Things I enjoy in general:

zaniness, fun and whimsy
worldbuilding
sci-fi/fantasy/horror weirdness
solarpunk
time travel
queer relationships
kidfic
poetry
pretty much anything the author had fun writing

Favorite fandoms:

Like I said, I can listen to nearly any fandom, but here are some of my favorites:

Yuletide fandoms (or five-minute fandoms)
"other media" in general
What We Do in the Shadows
Dimension 20
The Adventure Zone (most familiar with Balance, Amnesty, and TAZ vs Dracula)
Shakespeare
Animorphs
Our Flag Means Death
Discworld

Most of all, please have fun recording! I'll have fun listening. Happy podding!

My ao3 account can be found here under the same username. (The formatting of this post might be a little silly for right now. Sorry about that, and I promise I'll fix it!)

Specific dislikes (i.e. please no): non-con, incest, underage (overtly romantic or sexual situations between minors and adults, or explicitly sexual situations between minors under 16 (romance is fine)), breakups of requested canon couples (Gen-rated story telling is fine, just no breakups please), racism, student/teacher dynamics, or overt animal abuse.

Specific likes: Equal time for women characters, zaniness, fun & whimsy, worldbuilding, sci-fi/fantasy/horror weirdness, solarpunk, time travel, queer relationships, kidfic, poetry, and pretty much any story the author had fun writing. I'm all about the non-traditional story structures and I also enjoy any tense, any POV, any length.

Mystery Flesh Pit National Park - Trevor Roberts

I love Yuletide.

Hell yes! Hell yes! Hell yes! Good lord! I love this! It's a huge sandbox (no, it's a mystery flesh pit) and it seems like just SO MUCH FUN to play in. This would be an incredible place for a non-traditional format. In-universe documents?? A story from when it was just a weird tourist trap? The simple narrative of the 2007 disaster?? Jimmy Carter's staff diary on the trip out to the mystery pit? Gumption town council meeting minutes? What would the Pendleton National Park Collection signature blanket look like? Hell yes!!! Modern-day explorers? Future fic? POV of the creature whose flesh it is?? Yes! Yes! Hell yes!!!

Just... literally any direction leads to an incredible place. Feel free to flesh out a world with OCs stick to the "canon characters" (such as they are), or just write a thousand words from the architecture firm hired to build out the National Park Visitor's Center. Oh man, I'm so pumped about this one!

Everything is bigger in Texas. Including the mystery flesh pit.

Canon specific opt-in: You can make this as weird and gross as you like.

Dimension 20: A Court of Fey and Flowers

Captain K. P. Hob (Dimension 20: A Court of Fey and Flowers), Delloso de la Rue (Dimension 20: A Court of Fey and Flowers)

Oh boy, author, I went back and forth for a few minutes about whether or not to do "Any" here or just request Captain K.P. Hob and Delloso de la Rue. I love all of the characters in here so MUCH. I would LOVE the worldbuilding and a Wuvy-specific story. I basically didn't have it in me to write out likes and prompts for all the characters in the time before signups close (I realize it's not necessary), but the in-universe vibes are incredible. So yes, if Hob and Rue end up being background characters, I won't be super sad. I WOULD be super sad if they didn't get a happy ending in the story. I enjoy gen stories, but I do think these two are destined to be together.

THAT ALL SAID, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Here are some fun prompts I'm thinking about:

The push and pull between Hob's goblin nature and his military expertise, and Delloso de la Rue's obligation to the Bloom and their own personal wants and desires. How do these things mirror and reflect each other? How are they alike and different?
Curtain fic! They're going to set up a home together! I welcome kidfic, domesticity, Hob getting to be as fussy as he likes, and Rue getting to let their hair down or tie it up. If it were literally just a thousand words of bungalow decorating with Andhera and Binx offering input, I would love it. Does Hob get, perhaps, a little too fussy? Does he need to have a garbage pile to swim in every once in a while? Does it subtly annoy Rue? Does Rue want only the finer things, or does Rue decide that a more humble abode is more their style? Do they set up multiple households for multiple seasons in the fae realms? Do they host a reunion weekend sometime? Do the Lords of the Wing ever descend on their own for a chutney spoons party? Do either of them enjoy cooking? What kind of recipes would they make? Do they write in diaries? How is Wrackingspelt? Can she carry the both of them on rides through the country? What is in Rue's closet?!
Do you want to do a straight-up Austen send-up with these two? I'm down!
Does the Court of Wonder make further conflict for Rue? I keep remembering a moment during an Adventuring Party where someone said the Court of Wonder thought it would be gouache for Rue to enjoy the festivities, kind of like the wedding planner dancing at the wedding. And it stuck in my craw a little bit because... seeing Rue, a member of their own court, as nothing more than an event planner felt extremely insulting... but that is their style, is it not?
Rue and Hob as cool uncle and cool nonbinary omer/titi/zizi/auntie to Pip!
IS? THERE? A? WEDDING?????!!!!!
IS THERE?? A WEDDING NIGHT?????!!!!
MORE than fine with epistolary, in-universe documents, etc.
Smut likes for these two: pure animal desire! Rough sex! Leaning into the non-humanness of their bodies. Or, on the other side of the coin, sweet, lovely, caring sex! Rue taking Hob apart inch-by-inch and Hob being INCREDIBLY good at oral. (I don't have any desired genital headcanons for either character.)

Big Eden (2000)
Henry Hart, Pike Dexter

I saw this movie for the first time this year and it was such a treat. I love it so much. From the meddlesome townsfolk who just want what's best for them both to the pre-2001 airport sequence, it was top-to-bottom a delight. This is another instance where I've only nominated the two of them, but all nominated characters are welcome. I want so much more of their story.

Tell the side of the story from Pike's point of view. Cooking seems so central to his side of the romance, I would love to expand on that and tell me about the love he's pouring into each dish. How does he learn to cook? Do any of his aunties get involved?
How does Henry demonstrate his love for Pike? It's certainly not cooking!
High school prequel/canon divergent AU. What was it like for them in high school. Clearly Harry was holding a torch for or in a relationship with Dean, but Pike knew who he was. What was that like? Alternately, what if they got together in high school?
Kissing! The movie does not deliver on steamy kissing, and I would love it if this story did. Did it start out a little awkward and then they kept practicing?
Smut likes for them: lots of kissing, lots of touching, and they both drive each other crazy.

Dirty Computer - Janelle Monáe (Music Video)
Any

I love Janelle Monáe so much. So much. There's a throughline of queer radical self-acceptance and unflinching techno-optimism that doesn't deny the struggle that just fills my heart with liquid golden honey. I feel like Janelle Monáe's art comes closest to providing a blueprint for living in a world that views you as disposable at best and a clear threat at worst. I LOVE it.

These characters say so little, but they have such clear aesthetics. I would love for you to build out their characters: who are they really? Who do they choose to become? I see them as a romantic polyamorous triad, but I'm very open to whatever combination of lovers/friends/found family you'd like.

You can also go in a more world-buildy direction. In-universe documents? Secret missives sparking a revolution?

Some prompts:

Once they've escaped, how do they live? Where do they live? How do they make it their own?
What are the moments between the stories we see on screen?
Roadtrip? Roadtrip. They're canonically driving to the Pink hotel/diner... what was that like?
How do they *remember*?
How did their relationship(s) begin?
Do you want to tie it together with the earlier ArchAndroid storyline? Be my guest!

Hello!

My ao3 account can be found here under the same username. Layout is fixed!

Specific dislikes (i.e. please no): non-con, underage (overtly romantic or sexual situations between minors and adults, or explicitly sexual situations between minors under 16 (romance is fine)), student/teacher dynamics, or overt animal abuse.

Specific likes: Equal time for women characters, zaniness, fun & whimsy, worldbuilding, sci-fi/fantasy/horror weirdness, solarpunk, time travel, queer relationships, kidfic, poetry, and pretty much any story the author had fun writing/piece of art the artist enjoys making. I'm all about the non-traditional story structures and I also enjoy any tense, any POV, any length. I know there's a minimum wordcount, but if you did a 10-drabble story cycle, you would have my respect forever. Any gender(s) for pairings is great (I ascribe to the argument that "himbo" is a state of mind), and I welcome nonbinary characters as well. Any rating is a-okay.

Specific in-universe worldbuilding likes: Give me all of it! Emails, text conversations, overly descriptive set pieces, I love it all.

Fandoms:

Because I Will Never Be Able to Eat Lava (Tumblr)

I love Yuletide. This weirdness is extremely my shit. I had not heard of this fandom (read: it hadn't crossed my tumblr feed) but now that I have heard about it, I couldn't stop thinking about it!

Prompts:

What is the courtship like between these two?
Backstory: why is the himbo so obsessed with this?
Clearly the volcanologist is into the himbo. What about them was attractive in the first place? How does the himbo reciprocate and take care of the volcanologist, who is not tempted to eat lava?
Maybe the volcanologist also secretly wants to eat the lava but knows better? Could they bond over this shared fantasy?
Smut/romantic eating together: do they roleplay with not!lava but like... wax or warm honey or something?

moon's haunted - dustinkcouch (tweet)

This to me reads like the perfect synopsis of my favorite Twilight Zone episode that was never made. I love it!! (I would not be averse to a straight up treatment of this as a Twilight Zone episode, complete with Rod Serling saying "Goddamn did you see that shit?! That was crazy. Anyway, I'm Rod Serling.")

This fandom tells so much of a story in so few words that I'm really curious to see what you can build out of it. To me this would be the perfect prompt for some non-traditional formatting, be that epistolary fic or a series of brief scenes that draw together into a bigger plot. It could also just be the beginning of some sort of sprawling space epic. Anything!

Prompts:

What (who?) is haunting the moon
What was the discovery of the haunting like?
What was the trip back like?
What happened when they got back to the moon?
Does the gun even work on moon ghosts?
Is there a romance brewing between the astronauts, ground control, or the ghosts? Could there be?

Unsleeping City

Unsleeping City my beloved! Gosh I am a sucker for magical realist NYC. I love all the characters and the depth and light they bring. I love Kingston and Liz's relationship, I can't wait to see Kingston as a dad, I love Esther and Ricky (though he wasn't nominated). I would love to see a team fic, or some aspect of the city we haven't visited yet.

I'll try to stick close to the selected characters for prompts (as that's what we matched on), but I requested Any for a reason. I love all of the characters equally, and I think any interaction between any of them would be worth exploring. If you also wanted to, please bring in other characters from canon, or OCs of your own design (outsider perspective, anyone??), or characters from Drawfee's "Artists Draw Urban Fantasy D&D Characters (ft. Brennan Lee Mulligan)." If you choose to focus mostly on characters from outside of canon, I would love for worldbuilding to be a focus.

(A note on ships within the tagset: I ship Esther/Ricky, Esther/Ricky/Sophia(/Dale), Kingston/Liz, and Iga/her husband Oskar, and maybe Kug/Perry the Pigeon. I can be swayed to other ships as well -- but I'd prefer if things were open among canon characters or a "they were never together in the first place" AU. It can be pretty handwavey (feel free to enter into the middle of a scene where everyone involved is already together). Please don't kill or vilify anybody's canon partners, and please no explicit cheating. The only tagset possible pairing that would squick me is Kug/Esther.)

Prompts:

What is growing up in magical NYC like? Does Langston take after his dad or his mom or both/neither? Who babysits all the next gen heroes of NYC? Also, what's it like PARENTING in magical NYC?
Esther and Kug didn't have the best time in canon, but he's all of everything now. Do they work on their relationship?
Iga's experience as an immigrant (and hoping to inspire her kids' interest in their heritage while also making space for their experiences as native New Yorkers) is so interesting! Do you know what else is interesting? Her tiny pet dragon. I would love to have anything that focuses on her, her family, her pet dragon, pre-canon or post-canon, etc!
More adventures! What is the next SantaCon like? Does anyone actually ever make it out to Staten* Island?

* Shamefully I made a spelling mistake in my sign up. I know how to spell Staten!

And, after all, optional details are optional! If you have an idea already, go for it!
