Dracula - Bram Stoker (1897 novel)
Dracula/Jonathan
I'd love to see something where Dracula and Jonathan have their first encounter after Dracula has arrived in England. Maybe the law firm has some extra paperwork to fill out and Jonathan is sent to Carfax Abbey to deal with their wealthy new client? Maybe Jonathan turns up trying to find out what happened to Renfield? I'd like to see some sort of progression from there - Jonathan acting as a tour guide and Dracula becoming increasingly more smitten.
Lord of the Rings
Boromir/Pippin
A soulmate AU or something that develops between these two on the quest - whether huddling for warmth on Caradhras or in Moria, or sparked by Boromir teaching Pippin to fight. Feel free to make it as angsty as you like, but please let Boromir live somehow.
Gimli/Legolas
I love the relationship between these two and how they overcome millennia of cultural differences and hatred to build a powerful relationship. I've prompted tags for either an accidental soulbond or a revelation of feelings after battle, although feel free to combine them in any way you like.
Maybe the soulbond is one that sparks earlier on the quest, allowing them to feel the way their each others' feelings change over time. It would be interesting to see how that influences their choices on the quest and what it would change.
In the case of the revelations after battle, maybe something set after Helm's Deep? When Legolas is searching the battlefield for Gimli and growing increasingly frantic.
IT - Muschietti movies
Bill/Pennywise
Bill being fascinated by Pennywise somehow, or managing to somehow fall in love when searching for ways to kill it - or vice-versa. Or something with a time-loop, with Bill and Pennywise being the only ones aware that they're in it, and having to work together to break it.
Feel free to make things as violent and bloodthirsty as you like in the run up to the Happily Ever After.
Agatha Christie's Poirot
Arthur Hastings/Hercule Poirot
An alternate first meeting where they have a meet-cute under false pretenses - maybe Poirot is investigating something and, afterwards, feels guilty about meeting Hastings while assuming a different identity.
Or a revelation of feelings from Hastings that Poirot doesn't believe - simply a revelation or a proposal. We know from canon that Hastings sometimes proposes on a whim when he thinks it'll help a lady in distress; maybe Poirot believes for some reason that he's doing the same thing with him.
Tian Guan Ci Fu
He Xuan/Shi Qingxuan
For these two, feel free to make things as angsty as you like in the run up to the Happily Ever After.
Finding out that they're soulmates - Shi Qingxuan's delight versus He Xuan's fury. Or a different first meeting where they meet before He Xuan goes undercover in heaven and all the things that could spiral out of that.
Or, maybe, Shi Qingxuan recruiting his beloved Ming-xiong to help him get rid of an unwanted suitor and accidentally triggering feelings.
Scum Villain's Self Saving System
Liu Qingge/Shen Yuan
A soulmate AU for these two would be interesting - especially since Liu Qingge would have known that Shen Qingqiu wasn't his soulmate. Why would he suddenly be now? So Liu Qingge being aware of the transmigration. And what would a soulbond that leaves them able to feel each other's emotions reveal about each other.
Or a timeloop where they have to work together to get out of it, and get brought closer by whatever weird shenanigans that come with this particular PIDW wife-plot. Maybe it's a time-loop in Jinlan City, or a different scenario where Shen Yuan is in need of rescue.
Modao Zu Shi
Nie Huaisang/Wen Ning | Wen Qionglin
For these two, I don't actually mind if you want to write something set where they're both alive - a canon AU where Wen Ning survives the Jin internment camp or where he attends Cloud Recesses and they meet there - or something post-canon where Wen Ning is still the Ghost General. The 'they think it's unrequited because it's forbidden love' tag could be because Wen Ning is a Wen and Nie Mingjue would never approve of a relationship between them, or it could be because of the necrophilia.
Either way you want to take it, a soulmate AU would be fantastic. How would the death, resurrection and mistreatment of his soulmate influence Nie Huaisang's revenge plan? Or something where Nie Huaisang ropes Wen Ning into helping get rid of an unwated suitor, sparking something between them. Or a time-loop where they grow closer while working to get out of it together - and then the after-effects of when they do.
Aaaannnd that's it, that's the letter. Thank you so much for reading it and for writing for me in this exchange. I look forward to seeing what you create for me!
