Dear Chocolatier!
I already know I'm going to love whatever you make for any of my requests, but I also know that some people like having ideas to springboard off of, so behind the cuts I'm going to expand a little on my prompts for the fandoms and relationships I've requested. You don't have to keep reading if that's not you! All my DNWs are already on the AO3! But if you do like to have more detail, well, this post is for you.
Person of Interest
Likes: series-era works, post-series works, pre-series works, everyone lives AUs, canon divergence AUs, pretty much any AUs, blushy fanart, hurt/comfort, all their gorgeous faces, Finch and Reese being domestic, exploration of the Machine's nature, Shaw being clever and versatile and more than just a blunt hammer.
DNWs: omegaverse, sexually explicit fanart, intense body horror or gore, any use of Root's former name, any torture by the good guys, consent violations.
Oh how I loved this show! Each relationship I requested has something going for it:
I really would love almost any AU from this show, from a what-if branching off of canon to a library AU (heh) to Person of Interest in space, but I mention this just as a possibility, not at all as a requirement.
How to Get Away with Murder
Likes: their gorgeous faces; how messed up their relationship could be, but also how they could bring out the best in each other; incestuous vibes and dubcon, but also perfectly platonic scenes.
DNWs: AUs that depart from the world of canon (rather than taking a different path within it), sexually explicit fanart, intense body horror or gore, violent noncon.
I so much loved the tangled complexity of this relationship! Which doesn't mean you have to go in a tangly direction: I also remember Wes inspiring Annalise to be the best version of herself, and Annalise doing everything to protect Wes, and I love those sides of them, too -- and you could always break my heart with a fic or fanart set after Wes's death, centering Annalise's feelings about him!
But if you do feel like exploring the way maternal feelings and sexual desire seemed to collide for Annalise, I am 100% here for that, too. Or -- given that this is HTGAWM we're talking about -- would Wes ever try to use those feelings for his own ends? Short of my DNWs, I don't really think you could take this to a place that would be too uncomfortable for me. The discomfort is part of what I love!
Deltarune
Likes: all these beautiful kids! their faces! talking and spending time together! being sweethearts! baking cakes or holding hands! hijinks are also lovely!
DNWs: any sex or more than hints of romance, making them all human, significantly more angst or conflict than there is in canon.
I have such simple wants when it comes to these kids: I love them all, and I want to spend more time with them. Maybe you could set a scene during chapter one? Or handwave a later point when they're reunited? AUs are also perfectly delightful, as long as they all stay themselves. A roleswap could be really intriguing! Or maybe just throw them all in a snuggle pile and let them braid each other's hair. Or talk about what it means to be a good guy or a bad guy, anyway. Or help Susie decide what seemingly inedible object to try next!
I love Susie's tough attitude and marshmallow center, Lancer's attempts at being terrible inevitably dissolving into sincere compliments, Ralsei's entire cinnamon roll self, and guessing at what might lie in Kris's silences. (I like to hope it's something kind.)
If you want to explore the very ending of chapter one, that's fine with me, but if you want to just ignore it, that's cool too! And the same goes for references to/appearances from characters outside the squad.
Let the power of friendship shine within your fanwork, that's all I ask!
Common Law
Likes: smiles, teasing, leaning against each other, walking together, hugging, making each other blush, domestic moments, falling asleep on each other, their faces!
DNWs: full nudity, explicit sex, gore.
I didn't know how much I'd miss this show till it was over! Basically, any artwork of these two being bros and/or boyfriends will make me so happy. I think maybe what I love best about them is how little would have to change if they did make the leap to a romantic relationship, you know? They're already that close. I don't even know what to specify in this letter, because what I want is how much they already love each other in the show. I just love them!
In conclusion, thank you so much for joining this exchange, and I hope you have a good Chocolate Box! ♥

Oh how I loved this show! Each relationship I requested has something going for it:
- Finch/Reese is arguably the dearest ship of my heart for this show, especially during seasons one and two, when the writing was so good and the focus was so tightly on the two of them. I think I love them especially when they're being domestic or acting like they've been married for years.
- Especially at the end of seasons one and two, I really wanted more of a relationship between Reese and the Machine, who both exist a little outside the world most humans live in, and both have strong feelings about Finch. Reese has so much empathy: could he extend that to a Machine? The Machine is intimately connected with humanity, but not human (at least in any traditional sense): what would their friendship look like, given that?
- Fusco and Shaw are the only human characters still in touch at the end of the series, so there's so much that could be explored there -- and of course they made an endearing platonic odd couple even before that! Does she sneak up on him post-series like Reese used to? How does he feel about her crossing paths (again) with Lee? Do they ever bond over street food?
- As happy as I am that Root and Shaw's mutual attraction was made fully text, I still can't help but feel that the show didn't do right by them, and what is fandom for if not fix-its and filling in the gaps? I'd love more detail on how Shaw's feelings about Root slowly shifted over time, or what she thinks about Root's idea that we're just patterns, or a peek at what they'd look like fighting bad guys as an established couple.
I really would love almost any AU from this show, from a what-if branching off of canon to a library AU (heh) to Person of Interest in space, but I mention this just as a possibility, not at all as a requirement.
