Fic In A Box Letter 2025
Aug. 17th, 2025 11:02 pmHello dear creator! I’m Moonie. You can find me on ao3 as Moondal or on tumblr as moondal514
Whether you are my assigned gifter or thinking about writing me a treat (treats are very welcome :)), these are just some ideas to get the writing juices flowing. Please feel free to use, ignore, or partially use anything I’ve written here (except for the DNWs, pls don’t ignore those.)
General likes (a non-exhaustive list): historical au’s, slow burn, childhood friends to lovers, character and relationship studies, hurt/comfort, comedy, inevitable tragedy, angst, ambiguous relationships, pining, pretty prose, messing with time and space, and ships being vers
My DNWs vary depending on the fandom
In general I have a pretty wide and varied taste and I also love any type of ending, so feel free to give me something that ends happily, terribly, tragically, bittersweet, open-ended, or anything in between and I will love it. I am also not picky about the length of the fic I receive, so if you want to gift me anything from one massive fic to 34 300 word ficlets, I will also be very happy.
Now onto the prompts:
DNWs: 1st person pov, character bashing, eating disorders or any sort of angst related to a character’s weight or diet, pregnancy, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pet play, watersports, scat, infidelity, pet names, non-canonical rape/non-con, sex work au’s, unrequested non-canonical pairings, and sub Lee Dongsik
Pairing: Lee Dongsik/Han Juwon
Prompts:
Consider: a Lee twins role-reversal au of sorts. Wherein Lee Dongsik is the twin that disappears and Lee Yuyeon is the one that remains. 20 years later Han Juwon still somehow gets involved investigating the case, rather specifically he becomes obsessed with finding the missing Lee Dongsik, even as he’s supposed to be primarily investigating the serial murders Lee Dongsik’s disappearance was related to. Lee Dongsik can be either still alive and living under a different identity for whatever reason or super dead in this au, up to you
Alternatively, a cisswap genderbend JWDS au where a Han Juwon that actually fits Kang Jinmook’s victim profile decides to use herself as bait instead of using Lee Geumhwa. She meets Lee Dongsik and the results are inconclusive. It would be fun if this Han Juwon actually does accidentally get herself kidnapped by Kang Jinmook too but is rescued before anything too permanent happens to her. Up to you if you want to genderbend Lee Dongsik in this au also or not
악마판사 | The Devil Judge (TV)
DNWs: 1st person pov, character bashing, eating disorders or any sort of angst related to a character’s weight or diet, pregnancy, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pet play, watersports, scat, pet names, non-canonical rape/non-con, sex work au’s, and unrequested non-canonical pairings
Pairings: Kang Yohan/Kim Gaon, Kang Isaac/Kang Yohan (I prefer this ship to be one-sided pining on Kang Yohan's part), Kang Elijah & Kang Yohan, and Kang Elijah & Kang Yohan & Kim Gaon
Prompts:
Bit of a vague prompt but I’d love to see something that really leans into and accentuates the gothic vibes in the show that are already present (the claustrophobic almost haunted creepy house, the rich family full of tragic secrets, the inherent weirdness/incest vibes of Kang Yohan having romantic feelings for Kim Gaon when Kim Gaon looks so much like Kang Isaac, Kang Elijah's isolation from the world, etc.)
Alternatively, an au where everything is the same except Elijah is Kang Yohan’s bio daughter, and this is the other major secret that Kang Yohan is keeping from Elijah and is the product of Kang Yohan havinh an affair with Elijah’s mom out of possessiveness and jealousy over Isaac (you can make Kang Yohan have unrequited incest feelings for Isaac if you want. I love it when Gahan has a weird pseudo-incest vibe because of Kim Gaon’s physical resemblance to Isaac). It's up to you if Isaac knew or not but I just love the idea of Yohan's guilt over this contributing to his guilt over having not been able to save Isaac from the fire
六爻 | Liu Yao: The Revitalization of Fuyao Sect - priest
DNWs: 1st person pov, character bashing, eating disorders or any sort of angst related to a character’s weight or diet, pregnancy, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pet play, watersports, scat, infidelity, pet names, non-canonical rape/non-con, sex work au’s, and unrequested non-canonical pairings
Pairing: Cheng Qian/Yan Zhengming
Prompts:
I’d love something post-canon. Preferably fluff, but I’m happy with angst as well. Maybe a proper resolution for Cheng Qian getting pissed off about Yan Zhengming asking Li Yun to make the Heart-Purging Pills (cuz that argument got interrupted by Han Tan going off to become Yao Queen), or maybe all of Fuyao Sect going on a field trip to visit Han Yuan in Nanjiang, or maybe some MingQian PDA, or maybe Cheng Qian observing some habits Shuikeng, Li Yun, and Yan Zhengming have that they developed in the 100 year time skip and he pouts about feeling left out or something. The entire time I read this novel I just wanted to see our 5 major characters be able to go home and live in found family happiness, so something with them doing that post-canon would be nice (and if you write smut, I humbly submit a request for stone top!Cheng Qian/pillow princess!Yan Zhengming)
Alternatively, I'd love to see a modern cultivation au where Cheng Qian isn’t able to reform his body and instead he reincarnates centuries later. It is now modern times and somehow fate wills that Cheng Qian is reunited with his, now very long-lived, sect members so that they can finally go home to Fuyao Mountain
时光代理人 | Link Click (Cartoon)
DNWs: 1st person pov, character bashing, eating disorders or any sort of angst related to a character’s weight or diet, pregnancy, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pet play, watersports, scat, infidelity, pet names, non-canonical rape/non-con, sex work au’s, unrequested non-canonical pairings, and shiguang smut
Pairings: Cheng Xiaoshi/Lu Guang, Cheng Xiaoshi & Lu Guang, Cheng Xiaoshi & Lu Guang & Qiao Ling, Solo: Lu Guang, Solo: Cheng Xiaoshi
Prompts:
I would love to see an au where Lu Guang really does die from the stab wound he gets from Li Tianchen in Qiao Ling's body and Cheng Xiaoshi does give into temptation and dives into the past to save him. ShiGuang are now locked in a tragic holding pattern where they are unknowingly chasing each other through time to save each other. To make this prompt really fun, you can add in the new info we learn from Yingdu about Cheng Xiaoshi’s mother also diving back into time, so I want the angst of Cheng Xiaoshi, in going back in time to save Lu Guang, thinking he’s betrayed not only Lu Guang’s rules but also his promise to his mother that he wouldn’t mess with time so that she could save his dad, and what the toll of keeping such a secret from his loved ones does to him
Alternatively, I'd love to see a This Is How You Lose the Time War au for ShiGuang where Lu Guang is going on an angst-ridden field trip through time to collect fragments of Cheng Xiaoshi to try to bring him back to life. Up to you whether he succeeds or fails
余污 - 肉包不吃肉 | Remnants of Filth - Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat
DNWs: 1st person pov, character bashing, eating disorders or any sort of angst related to a character’s weight or diet, pregnancy, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pet play, watersports, scat, infidelity, pet names, sex work au’s, and unrequested non-canonical pairings
Pairing: Gu Mang/Mo Xi, Solo: Mo Xi, Solo: Gu Mang
Prompts:
I’m kind of…unhinged about Mo Xi lol. He’s the character of all time for me. He awakens all these latent sadistic tendencies in myself that I didn’t know I had. I especially love to read him sopping wet, tortured, and pathetic (which is prob why I liked Yuwu so much considering the entire story is essentially Mo Xi getting emotionally bullied by basically every single character 😂). So I want Mo Xi whump. Lots of it. I want him miserable, soggy, bullied, frustrated, constantly about to cry, and then actually crying. Preferably for Gu Mang-related reasons but it doesn’t have to be. Can be canonverse or au of choice, just please put him in the torture labyrinth and let me watch. (If you choose to write smut, I humbly submit a request for subby bottom!Mo Xi)
Alternatively, if you're looking for a more solid prompt, I would be very interested in a canonverse warprize au. Maybe some time after Gu Mang stabs Mo Xi, Mo Xi is captured by the Liao kingdom and Guoshi gives Mo Xi as a warprize to Gu Mang to “reward” Gu Mang for being a good general or something. Angst and Mo Xi whump (again I’m a huge fan of Mo Xi whump) proceed. It would be extra fun (for me lol) if Mo Xi is imprisoned and tortured by the Liao Kingdom for a while before Gu Mang is “rewarded” with him. Gu Mang being directly confronted with physical evidence of exactly how much he has failed to protect Mo Xi is the kind of angst that’s my jam. I looooove Yuwu for its angst and tragedy (in fact my personal hot take on Yuwu is that it should’ve ended in tragedy) so the angstier the better
전지적 독자 시점 - 싱숑 | Omniscient Reader - Sing-Shong (Novel)
DNWs: 1st person pov, character bashing, eating disorders or any sort of angst related to a character’s weight or diet, pregnancy, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pet play, watersports, scat, infidelity, pet names, non-canonical rape/non-con, sex work au’s, and unrequested non-canonical pairings
Pairings: Na Bori/Lee Jihye, Na Bori & Lee Jihye, Solo: Lee Jihye
Prompts:
You can really tell I’m a lover of angst because this is my favorite orv ship 😂. Yeah I just love Na Bori’s role as Lee Jihye’s dead wife/dead best friend that Lee Jihye killed. I want to read something where she haunts Lee Jihye. Can be a literal haunting or a metaphorical haunting and can be canonverse or au
Alternatively, I'd love to see a take on a role reversal au where Lee Jihye is the one to die in the First Scenario and Na Bori is the one to live. Cue the angst
泾渭情殇 - 请君莫笑 | Clear and Muddy Loss of Love - Qing Jun Mo Xiao
DNWs: 1st person pov, character bashing, eating disorders or any sort of angst related to a character’s weight or diet, pregnancy, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pet play, watersports, scat, infidelity, pet names, non-canonical rape/non-con, sex work au’s, and unrequested non-canonical pairings
Pairings: Qi Yan/Nangong Jingnu, Solo: The Masked Person
Prompts:
One of the saddest things about canon to me is how Qi Yan is unable to thrive in her full horse girl glory (cuz you know. The plot). So I would love to read something that lets her do that. Can be canonverse or au and can still incorporate lots of angst and toxic yuri and whatnot but I just really want to see Qi Yan have some quality time with horses too
Alternatively, I’m just so intrigued and curious about The Masked Person/Li Yanru, especially because of her extra, that I just would love to read literally anything centered around her (you can write about her and Nangong Sunu or her and Concubine Wan, or just leave it gen, all of it is fine with me, I just would love to see something about her)
魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Modao Zushi - Moxiang Tongxiu
DNWs: 1st person pov, character bashing, eating disorders or any sort of angst related to a character’s weight or diet, pet play, watersports, scat, pet names, sex work au’s, unrequested non-canonical pairings, cql/the untamed canon, and sub or bottom Jin Guangyao
Pairings: Jin Guangyao/Nie Mingjue, Jin Guangyao/Lan Xichen/Nie Mingjue
Prompts:
I would love to see a dramatic and messy band au for 3zun (with either just NieYao or ot3). I don’t care what kind of band they are, if 3zun are like a cpop idol boy group or like a rock band, what I care about is the drama and messiness of their dynamic. The polyamory negotiations (were there any negotiations or have they just been technically cheating on each other with each other Challengers (2024)-style lol) have NOT gone well. Constant fights and breaking up and making up. They’re pulling a Fleetwood Mac and performing thinly veiled breakup or love songs they’ve written about each other on stage while making intense intimate eye contact and then refusing to talk about it after the performance. NieYao are 5 seconds away from making out or actually murdering each other at all times and Lan Xichen thinks everything is going just fine. And of course they’re hiding all of this from the public cuz they have to appear single for ~marketability~. Lan Wangji watches the mess that is Lan Xichen’s career and love life and desperately wishes that his brother would quit the band to join him and Wei Wuxian in their chill traditional Chinese classical orchestra. They can be on a survival show for extra drama if you want. Do you see my vision?
Alternatively, I'd love to see a NieYao canonverse maybe-but-not-really fix-it where Nie Mingjue doesn't actually die during his evil song induced qi deviation (though Nie Huaisang doesn't know this) and instead Jin Guangyao essentially atticwifes Nie Mingjue in his super secret mancave mirror room. It's up to you how this goes down and whether or not this has a better ending than canon
The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
DNWs: character bashing, eating disorders or any sort of angst related to a character’s weight or diet, pet play, watersports, scat, pet names, non-canonical rape/non-con, sex work au’s, and unrequested non-canonical pairings
Pairings: Mercymorn the First/Cristabel Oct, Mercymorn the First & Cristabel Oct, Mercymorn the First/Augustine the First, Mercymorn the First/Augustine the First/John Gaius, Harrowhark Nonagesimus/Gideon Nav, Solo: Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Solo: Mercymorn the First
Prompts:
I just really like Mercymorn and I would love to see something centered around her, whether that be some sort of canonverse doomed yuri situation going on between her and Cristabel or just any kind of focus on the kind of stuff Mercymorn was getting up to pre-Gideon the Ninth
Alternatively, I also really love Harrow Nova and I will read literally anything set in that au
Trigun (Anime & Manga 1995-2008)
DNWs: 1st person pov, character bashing, eating disorders or any sort of angst related to a character’s weight or diet, pregnancy, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pet play, watersports, scat, infidelity, pet names, non-canonical rape/non-con, sex work au’s, and unrequested non-canonical pairings
Pairings: Vash the Stampede/Nicholas D. Wolfwood, Vash the Stampede & Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Prompts:
I’m happy to see something for ‘98 or TriMax canon, either one or the other or mixing them together is fine with me
I would love to see post-canon Vash mourning Wolfwood, whether you want to write their past relationship as having been platonic, romantic, both, neither, or somewhere in between
I also like the concept of during canon Wolfwood doing some guilty pining over Vash cuz he knows his role is to lead Vash back to Knives but he can’t help but love Vash
-
I hope you find this letter helpful and I look forward to reading whatever it is you write for me!
Best,
Moonie
