Request 1 by KannaOphelia
Malory Towers - Enid Blyton

Relationships:

• Clarissa Carter/Wilhelmina "Bill" Robinson (Clarissa pining)
• Clarissa Carter/Wilhelmina "Bill" Robinson (both pining)
• Clarissa Carter/Wilhelmina "Bill" Robinson (Bill pining)

Requitedness: Feelings eventually requited

Freeforms:

• Character A Pines For Character B Not Realizing It's Requited
• Character A pines for close friend who is unaware
• Character A pours heart out to B in anonymous love notes
• Character is insecure about their looks and therefore pines in silence
• Character pines for someone who thinks nothing of undressing casually in front of them
• Character silently pines for someone due to fear of ruining their existing relationship
• Character thinks they aren't good enough for the object of their pining
• Competing with another person to perform romantic gestures for object of pining
• Pining because a relationship would be socially unacceptable
• Pining for someone who treats them like a sibling
• Pining While Riding Behind Love Interest on a Horse/Motorcycle
• Character A fears revealing feelings for Character B due to laws/rules

Optional Details:

Laconic boyish Bill and shy dainty Clarissa have been my OTP since I was about twelve. There's something about the impossibility of a lesbian relationship in that period plus all the free reign to be inseparable best friends and ride along the Cornish cliffs together that just has the perfect amount of inbuilt pining for me.

I've chosen a lot of best friends who "should" not be something more tropes for the girls, plus two tropes I think would be fun: Bill secretly competing with a male suitor for the Hon. Clarissa, and Clarissa pining her shy heart out in letters (although feel free to reverse this!) And, well, horses. But I'd be absolutely overjoyed with any pining resolving into requited love for these two, either at school or afterwards.

Availability note: All of Malory Towers is legally available for free on fadedpage.com
The relevant book for the pairing is "Upper Fourth at Malory Towers" (the first book with Clarissa) and perhaps the first few pages of "Last Term at Malory Towers".

Feel free to interpret tags liberally if an idea occurs to you that would be fun to write. Any rating from G to E is welcome, but please have them be at least 16 if there is any sexual content. See my letter if you want a non-inclusive list of general likes, and above all, I hope you have fun with the pining!

Requitedness: Feelings eventually requited

Freeforms:

• Character pines for someone who thinks nothing of undressing casually in front of them
• Character silently pines for someone due to fear of ruining their existing relationship
• Character thinks they aren't good enough for the object of their pining
• Pining because a relationship would be socially unacceptable
• Pining for someone who treats them like a sibling
• Character A fears revealing feelings for Character B due to laws/rules

Optional Details:

I adore these two in "Second Form" when Gladys is the withdrawn little Misery-Girl and Mirabel is defiant and awkward and bullied; it touches me so much when the two outsiders find each other and blossom. The temporary break between them over Mirabel's harshness in "In The Fifth" broke my heart.

I've chosen a lot of best friends who "should" not be something more tropes for the girls, plus a couple that remind me of the dynamic between them in Fifth Form. But I'd be absolutely overjoyed with any pining resolving into requited love for these two, either at school or afterwards.

Availability note: All of "St Clare's" is legally available for free on fadedpage.com.
"Second Form at St Clare's" and "In the Fifth at St Clare's" are most relevant to this pairing.

Fourth Form Friendship - Angela Brazil

• Character A pines for close friend who is unaware
• Character A pours heart out to B in anonymous love notes
• Character silently pines for someone due to fear of ruining their existing relationship
• Character thinks they aren't good enough for the object of their pining
• Pining because a relationship would be socially unacceptable
• Pining Character tries to change for object of pining
• Character A fears revealing feelings for Character B due to laws/rules

Optional Details:

"A Fourth Form Friendship" is one of my all-time favourite school stories, and I love how focused it is on the agonising drama of Aldred's lie by omission and Mabel's hero-worship. I love how flawed they are: Aldred is an absolute nightmare, but I find her funny and very sympathetic, while Lady Mabel's rigid idealism is her own worst enemy and seems to have left her quite lonely, not to mention the class difference between her and the other girls.

Oh, the sweet angst of "Will Mabel hate me?" I would love more of that angst in the future, with it shifted from Mabel's mistake to the secret of romantic or sexual love--from Aldred, from Mabel, or from both. I've picked tags accordingly. At school or after leaving (with the big class difference) is equally welcome.

Availability note: "A Fourth Form Friendship" is legally available free at gutenberg.org

Feel free to interpret tags liberally if an idea occurs to you that would be fun to write. Any rating from G to E is welcome, but please have them be at least 16 if there is any sexual content.

Sweet Valley High - Francine Pascal

Relationships:

• Amy Sutton/Jessica Wakefield (Amy pining)
• Enid Rollins/Elizabeth Wakefield (Enid pining)

Requitedness: Feelings eventually requited

Freeforms:

• Character A incorrectly assumes that Character B knows that A is pining for them
• Character A pines for close friend who is unaware
• Character A pours heart out to B in anonymous love notes
• Character is insecure about their looks and therefore pines in silence
• Character hides pining behind sarcasm/bratty behaviour
• Character silently pines for someone due to fear of ruining their existing relationship
• Character thinks they aren't good enough for the object of their pining
• Character A pines over amnesiac Character B
• Fake Dating - mutual pining
• Jealousy - Feeling Like They're Being Replaced and/or Unwanted
• metaphoric pigtail pulling to get the attention of the person you're pining for
• A pines for B incorrectly assuming incompatible sexual orientations
• pining revealed to group leads to teasing/bullying/ostracization
• Tries to Confess but Keeps Getting Interrupted by Circumstances

Optional Details:

Sweet Valley High was my secret obsession as a tween/teenager, and I've never lost my affection. It was so colourful and fun and dramatic and sunny, and as an Australian kid, the beaches and discos and burger bars and school activities and fashions were the America of my dreams.

As my requests show, "Bitter Rivals", in which Enid and Amy compete for Elizabeth's affections, er, friendship, while Amy is clearly more compatible with Elizabeth's twin Jessica, had a big effect of my id. Either couple (or both) would delight me, pining after their particular twin until everything resolves. Please feel free to throw in any Sweet Valley type you like.

Some of the tags fit either Enid or Amy more easily, but if you can make them work for your pairing and it's the less obvious choice, please do go for it!

Note on infidelity DNW: please just have Liz (for Enid) or Jess (for Amy) be in one of their brief gaps between boys.

Feel free to interpret tags liberally if an idea occurs to you that would be fun to write. Any rating from G to E is welcome, but please have them be at least 16 if there is any sexual content. See my letter if you want a non-inclusive list of general likes, and above all, I hope you have fun with the pining!

Request 1 by sarriathmg
DCU (Comics)

Relationships:

• Dick Grayson/Jason Todd (Jason pining)

Requitedness: Feelings eventually requited, Feelings never requited

Freeforms:

• Bad Guys Force Crush to Noncon Pining Character
• Pining A lets B coerce/noncon them in lieu of a loving relationship
• Dub/Noncon - Character A allows B to do whatever they want to them because A is pining for B
• A pines for B who noncons them

• Pining character receives punishment from their crush
• Pining Character Forced to Submit to Crush
• B realizes pining A would do anything for them - even accept noncon

Optional Details:

I don't like fanon making Dick Grayson into a sad, weeping pillow princess. I don't like how he's made to bottom just because he's the most sexualized male character, even though Dick is one of the most dominant and “top” characters I've encountered.

My favorite character to hurt is Jason. So I'm looking for something Jason-centric with bottom Jason, where he pines and pines, maybe starting from his Robin days… only to have his crush being dismissive, hurtful, or, even worse, takes advantage. Eventually requited is nice, but unrequited is also great, because I just love hurting Jason. All my freeforms are pretty dark, so I applaud anyone willing to try.

Why would Dick do this? Well, his character during the New Teen Titans era had a pretty unstable period where he was basically an asshole to everyone around him. Canon Dick has anger issues, and there are alternate versions of him that can get pretty dark (my favorite is the DC VS. Vampires comic’s Dick where he murdered the entire Batfamily.) AU dark!Dick is also great—I find dark!Dick quite sexy.

Fandom-specific DNWs:

-Dick Grayson being designated as either omega or beta in A/B/O settings
-Bottom Dick Grayson where he receives penetration, or Dick being on the “receiving” end (being rimmed, described as the one being “touched” or being “taken care of,” etc.) in sex in general, except receiving blow jobs
-Sub Dick Grayson in BDSM settings, or Dick being put into “subby” or “feminine” positions, eg. being bridal-carried, pushed against a wall, being “loomed over” in bed, “following” in a couple dance, sitting in someone’s lap, described as being “pretty,” etc.
-Focusing on Dick’s ass
-The fanon “Sunshine and Rainbows, self-sacrificing martyr” version of Dick Grayson
-For Dick Grayson to be characterized as unsure, self-conscious, and/or lacking self-confidence
-exaggerating Dick and Jason’s body size difference
-Dick Grayson being described as thin or physically weak (terms like “graceful” and “agile” are fine, but please, he’s built of muscles)
-whump centering on Dick Grayson (where he is being kidnapped, manhandled, “hurt Dick Grayson” being protected and cared for by others, etc.)
-Insinuating that Dick actually “died” in Forever Evil
-For animal features AUs, dnw Dick Grayson to have prey animal features
-Mentions of Catalina Flores or Roman Sionis
-any implied past, current, or potential Slade Wilson/Dick Grayson, or any relationship where Dick isn’t presented as the top and the dom (when in doubt only including past/background canonical ships is the way to go)
-Jason being fanon-stereotyped as big, dumb, aggressive, and/or illiterate/poorly educated
-Jason being the only one who swears or smokes
-Batkids age reversal or any AUs where Dick and Jason’s age difference is shortened significantly or reversed (if the topic ever comes up, Dick being at least 3 years older is fine, but preferably their canon 6+ years)

General DNW:

Unrequested ace/trans headcanons, Unrequested gender swap (Fem!Jason is fine), Pure fluff, Kidfics (forced pregnancy by itself is fine), Kink negotiation as a major plot, rape recovery as a major plot, Non-con when the victim stays unaroused. (fine if they’re forced to orgasm), Hopeless endings (bittersweet and ambiguous are fine), Permanent character death or injury/mutilation, Modern/mundane AUs, Changing a character’s canon race, Raceplay, Spitting in mouth, vomit or scat, Feederism and anything involving fattening up the characters, Religion being mentioned in a preachy, non-ironic way

I don't like fanon making Dick Grayson into a sad, weeping pillow princess. I don't like how he's made to bottom just because he's the most sexualized male character, even though Dick is one of the most dominant and “top” characters I've encountered.

My favorite character to hurt is Jason. So I'm looking for something Jason-centric with bottom Jason where he gets hurt, where Dick’s liking to him veers into that creepy territory and Jason becomes a victim, maybe even starting from Jason’s Robin days. Eventually requited is nice, but unrequited is also great, because I just love hurting Jason. All my freeforms are pretty dark, so I applaud anyone willing to try.

Optional Details:

“The gate, the Mind Flayer, so many dead, and all because of you, because you could not stop, because you could not let him go!”

---------------------Eleven to Dr. Brenner, Season 4 Episode 8

So Henry seems very self-assured that he has moved past his time in the lab, and “Papa” doesn’t mean anything to him, yet he still calls Brenner papa, and that’s a word with such a connotation I can’t let it go.

I started to fantasize about Henry’s time in the lab, which we only got a glimpse of. He was so young and easily manipulated, and he wasn’t like Eleven, who never knew a life before the lab. He was a kid essentially kidnapped and forced into a life like that. He says he doesn’t care what Brenner does anymore, but I can’t help but think he’s developed something akin to Stockholm syndrome when he was in that place, in that state of power imbalance with Dr. Brenner.

It’s probably not genuine, probably something one would grow up and recognize that’s just a “phase,” when he was too lonely and manipulated into pining for his captor. Maybe what Henry wanted was a father figure that didn’t disappoint him like Victor, maybe he looked up to Brenner and as he grew into puberty, mistakes that kind of admiration for romantic/sexual interest.

And Brenner? I headcanon Brenner as ace or “married to his work,” so to speak. He doesn’t like Henry that way back, probably can’t love him back, but damn if he doesn’t recognize a golden opportunity to control his favorite test subject. Brenner is a morally bankrupt manipulator, and I can totally see him “giving” Henry the sex and affection he craves just so he can control him.

Maybe that kind of imbalanced relationship continued all the way to Henry’s adulthood, maybe during his adulthood Henry recognized what was essentially wrong with it and stops pining, or maybe he never stopped pining, he just understands now that Brenner doesn’t and can’t love him back, so he killed all the other test subjects as a revenge to get back at Brenner for trying to discard and replace him.

Maybe when Eleven comes, the cycle simply restarts, and she pines for Henry and Brenner both in that same confused way. Maybe that’s why Henry had a connection with her.

That’s just my headcanon, to get the idea train going. If somehow you are reading this ship tag and come up with an idea of your own, go for it! I’m just excited to read about what others’ takes are like on the Brenner & Henry dynamic!

Fandom-specific DNW:

Woobiefying Henry or heavy whump centered on Henry. I’m not interested in excusing the character or whumping him at all—I like Henry as the ultimate, scary villain. I am more interested in the mindsets of villains and the things that happen to them. I am more interested in the mind space and relationship dynamic between these characters.

However, you may whump Eleven all you want, if you decide to go with Henry/Brenner & Eleven.

I'm hoping these prompts tell enough of a story by themselves.

Father has/had a love interest, whom he used to be married to before her untimely death, or she is simply someone out of his reach.

However, their brief union did leave him with a son, and as the son grows older, he starts to resemble his unattainable mother more and more. Oh, no, now Father is pining for his Son!

Take this however you will. I have a kink towards this very specific scenario, so to speak. I have a liking for historical or historical fantasy settings, including royalty AUs, but any setting would be great! Requited, unrequited, etc. I'm mostly looking for the inner turmoil of the father, and the son can stay unaware throughout if you'd like. Can't wait to see your take on it!
