Dear Trauma Ex Creator

[thracedt]

Hello and thank you for offering (and traumatizing!) one of my favorite ships!

General likes: UST finally spilling over, first time/get together fics, unspoken feelings that stay unspoken but are blindingly obvious anyway, bedside vigils/general watching over someone, fraught handholding (especially combined with the bedside vigiling) angst and uncertainty leading into happy endings, sneaking around, sex pollen especially when it’s one-sided, bloodplay, knifeplay, clothes sharing, dramatic rescues/sacrifices, pining, rope bondage, breathplay, road trips, significant gestures, missing scenes/episode tags, time travel, Groundhog Day loops, True Love Saves the Day, 5 Things fics, crossroad deals/deals with the devil, any and all kinds of supernatural nonsense, unexpected acts of kindness, someone physically putting themselves between a loved one and harm, creative use of superpowers, dreamsharing

DNWs: noncon, A/B/O, D/s with lots of formal negotiation, face-sitting, bathroom related bodily fluids, violence directed at genitals, pregnancy, bashing of canon love interests, daddy kink, permanent character death of named characters not dead in canon, spanking, setting change/no power AUs, non-canon permanent injuries (temporary/magically healed/etc ones are fine)

I am not squeamish at all about explicit violence and gore (aside from the specific DNWs.) Eye trauma, hand trauma, all of it's fine gore is great go for it.

Any rating is welcome, from G to explicit sex. I love treats, both fic and art.

I consider the freeforms prompts in and of themselves! (Especially art freeform! I love art but never know how to prompt for it, so it’s fantastic to be able to point to a freeform and go yes, that!) Also the line between A being traumatized and Both Traumatized gets a little blurry for a lot of them (the situations would be pretty traumatizing all around, really!) so please don’t worry that both are being traumatized in an A traumatized category, there cannot be too much trauma. Please whump freely! I am especially fond of Character A being emotionally traumatized by seeing Character B going through physical trauma so please put everyone through it.

I am EXTREMELY okay with pre-slash/pre-relationship JSA-era set fics – I love seeing the two of them from enemies to so much more and how those lines first started getting crossed. I would love anything with the two of them finding out each other’s traumatic backstories – McNider specifically seems to know a whole lot of detail about what the Men of Tears did to the Shade! One of my favorite things about Shadenite is all the things that are hinted but not outright said – why McNider believes so much that Shade isn’t like the rest of the ISA, how the Shade got on a first name basis with him, what happened the night with the absinthe, etc.

I also really like fic touching on how McNider sees (or doesn’t,) because even with the glasses and goggles he can’t see the way he used to or how other people do, and if they’re taken from him during the day he is genuinely blind. I do like the idea of him being able to see the Shade without the goggles since he can see in the dark and the Shade is made of shadows, even if he sees him differently than he would in the dark/with the goggles, but that is an extremely optional headcanon that even I go back and forth on myself, the angst of him not even being able to see the Shade in daylight is too good to pass up sometimes. I also really enjoy fic that touches on the Shade’s inhumanness – him being cold to the touch, bleeding shadows instead of blood, being about to take physical damage that would kill a baseline human instantly, being MORE vulnerable to things that wouldn’t bother a baseline human (bright light for instance, or how the green fire in the Shadowlands wasn’t hurting Pat but was killing him.) Please don’t knock him back to human even magically.

I know it’s not strictly canon, but I do really like McNider having visible eye scarring when he’s not using the glasses or goggles – we never see his eyes open without them so there’s nothing that says he doesn’t? That moment when the Shade would first really see his eyes is too good to pass up. And speaking of very questionable headcanons – the shadow energy probably didn’t sear the markings the Men of Tears drew all over the Shade permanently into his skin when it froze his aging, but it certainly COULD have. And McNider would be so upset about seeing that evidence of that they did to the Shade literally all over him! :D

Please no no-power/setting change AUs EXCEPT Victorian AUs – the two of them being alive at the same time, with Mr. Swift being very overfamiliar with the upstanding Dr. McNider and no one understanding why he puts up with that from a conman and a thief like Richard Swift, fic set later in the Victorian era with McNider trying to keep his East End clinic going when he hears stories about a man made of shadows, full on Gotham by Gaslight style AU, etc, as long as the Shade still becomes the Shade and McNider still loses his sight (with or without gaining his canon darkvision) it’s all good.

Extra Prompts

Extra Prompts

- The two of them getting captured together in the JSA days and having to keep each other going/help each other escape (with all assorted eligible tropes – one volunteering to be hurt/tortured to protect the other, even though they’re in theory enemies at the point; passing up chances to escape because the other can’t; McNider promising the Shade that either they both get out or neither of them do and the Shade thinks it’s just superhero bluster but no, he most definitely means it; McNider keeping their captors from finding out that the Shade is more than human, or the Shade hiding that McNider can’t see, etc., etc.)
- Anything with the Men of Tears – them grabbing the Shade again, a new branch of the cult cropping up, Jennie and/or Todd finding out how the Shade got his powers and McNider having to manage that emotional disaster, the symbols they painted on the Shade showing back up or suddenly causing him pain, him seeing the cloaked figures in those masks from the corner of his eye, Sandy Hawkins seeing them in a dream and not knowing what it means, but the Shade and/or McNider sure do. Bring all the trauma and dread of these people. Maybe McNider ran into some of them in the Shadowlands and they taunted him about what they’d done! Or some new generation believers find out about Todd and decide that they had the right idea, but the wrong target.
- Related to the Men of Tears (because he was definitely one of them,) any version with the Simon Culp possession story – him taunting McNider with the Shade’s voice but the wrong accent about how it’s too late to do anything, or asking why McNider is trying so hard to save such a piece of trash, nothing but a con artist and thief. Culp using the Shade’s powers to hurt McNider or the twins, or making the Shade the villain the JSA had always believed him to be, or the Shade breaking through the possession to beg McNider to kill him to end it. Setting it JSA era would also be fun, when no one would have reason to believe this isn’t really the Shade’s true colors, except McNider just knows something is very wrong.
- Anything with McNider not knowing how to treat the Shade because he’s not human anymore.
- Sylvester or Alan or the Spectre, etc., back from the dead and launching themselves at the Shade because they don’t believe this reformed act of his for a second. I also really enjoy people being aghast and disbelieving about Shadenite and convincing themselves the Shade must have done some mind control or some kind of coercion, because the family man they remember would never (when the truth is they just didn’t know Charles McNider as well as they thought they did.
- McNider getting a little obsessed with the realization that the Shade can look him in the eyes, because with everyone else either he can see them or they can see him because he can only see unaided in the dark.
- The Maroni crime family realizing that McNider is back after falling the face of the earth for ten years and snatching him off the street.
- McNider getting grabbed by the Ultra-Humanite or someone else in the ISA era, pick a golden age villain and the Shade stumbling over him or hearing him screaming from the shadows.
- Icicle or someone else in the ISA really fucking McNider up and the Shade trying to keep him alive until the JSA get there.
- Alan or Sylvester or one of the other JSA heavy hitters going too far in a fight and Mid-Nite having to physically stop them from killing the Shade, or him realizing the Shade is really hurt and tracking him down after the fight or trying to help.
- The Shade losing his cohesion and showing up trapped in the shadows at McNider’s house.
- The Shade hiding a bad injury but McNider knows the second he looks at him – the burns from the Shadowlands not healing or getting worse for instance.
- The Shade being in so much pain he thinks the Men of Tears have him again.
- Any and all variation of the night with the absinthe.
- Canon divergent AU where McNider gets Eclipsed and aimed right at the Shade, either ten years ago or current day.
- The Shade going missing or having a very scary near miss and McNider cracking up a little bit because he has lost too many people and does not have any more of that in him (especially if his reaction surprises/freaks out Pat or back from the dead Sylvester or whoever is there.)
- The two of them being trapped in the Shadowlands together and having to deal with everything finally.
- The Shade being experimented on and McNider Not Having It, or someone being very curious about how McNider’s eyes work and the Shade likewise Not Having It.
- Art extra prompts: the Shade being sacrificed by the Med of Tears, McNider and his ruined eyes, McNider seeing the sigils they painted on the Shade, McNider in enemy hands with the Shade watching from the shadows, guilty Shade seeing blood on his hands after Rebecca’s murder, either of them lying hurt in each other’s lap, either one defending the other from an unseen enemy.

Black Adam/DCEU

I am actually still a little angry at how much this movie made me care about Hawkman and Dr. Fate, after literal decades of not being able to bother with any of them. I am certainly making up for it now! I can’t get over how must history Pierce Brosnan and Aldis Hodges managed to pack into their few minutes of screen time. Like with Shadenite I am very good with pre-relationship/pre-slash in stories that are set before the movie/when they were both on the Justice Society as long as if comes along with epic levels of pining, because the two men we see in this movie are people who have loved each other for a very long time, whether they’ve been able to admit to each other or not. I really enjoy Kent being very aware of his age and enemies taunting him about how could he expect Carter to ever look at him twice (meanwhile Carter is just as gone on him.) I’m also very into reincarnation trauma for Carter, which is extra-canonical but there’s only fifteen minutes of canon here, we do what we have to. :D Also any and all resurrection trauma is very welcome! I’d like things to end well for them but feel free to go dark and messy on the way there.

Extra Prompts

Extra Prompts:

- In the comics Kent canonically gets possessed more often than you would think! Let’s have some of that please – Mordru bodysnatching him, or Nabu fully taking him over and Carter having to try to pull him back. Whoever it is taking Kent over by inches while Carter can only watch helplessly would be great, as would be Kent watching trapped inside his own head as his body is piloted around or begging Carter to kill him so he won’t hurt anyone.
- Kent’s ghost haunting Carter, or Carter having nightmares/visions of Kent in agony in the afterlife because of the way he died.
- Carter having reincarnation trauma – not able to sort through all the memories, seeing old versions of himself like they’re real, feeling himself die over and over, etc.
- Carter obsessing over Kent dying in agony and there being no body.
- Kent suffering from his magic – coughing up blood, passing out, bleeding from his nose/eyes/ears after a spell, needing to do a spell or a ritual that is incredibly painful and he asks Carter to be there to hold him down/ritually stab him/whatever horrible thing the spell requires.
- Mordru or some other magical villain taking Kent over and taunting Carter about how Kent loves him.
- A bad guy grabbing Kent without the helmet/magical accoutrements in the believe that no one will come just for Kent Nelson.
- Carter almost dying and Kent keeping him alive with magic, even though it’s slowly killing Kent instead.
- Kent coming back from the dead with no memory of Carter.
- Carter going to increasingly unhinged lengths to bring Kent back.
- Kent being horribly injured but magically kept alive and Carter not being about to help him but also not leaving him.
- Carter finding out about some terrible thing that happened to Kent before they met, especially if the villain who did it is back.
- Justice Society missions going very, very bad.
- Art Extra Prompts: Carter protecting Kent with his wings, Carter carrying him, Carter standing over Kent with the mace out daring unseen enemies to try something, Kent or Carter looking in a mirror and seeing someone else staring back, Kent and Carter being separated by magic, ghost Kent watching Carter, Kent bloody and hurt reaching for Carter.

Daredevil

Season 1 of Daredevil is weirdly one of my comfort shows, purely because the villains are so perfect – I love me a ridiculously loyal henchman and James Wesley is an absolute top tier one. I am fine with no other canon Daredevil characters appearing, go all in on the villainy. I would love anything, from Wesley and Fisk building their empire in those lean early years to post-canon entirely. I am perfectly fine with S3 canon being included or canon diverging entirely. I am also very good with pre-slash/pre-relationship fic as far as Wesley/Fisk goes, I love the pining, but I would also love them having done something in the past and Fisk pulled back, or him feeling guilty because he knows Wesley loves him even though Wesley doesn’t expect anything besides what he has, and getting Wesley back makes Fisk reevaluate things. I also really love Vanessa – I would love fic where they become friends. They both love Fisk so much and are so completely all in on crime!

DNW EXCEPTION: Wesley getting sexually menaced or nonconned offscreen by goons or as backstory is A-OK.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Yondu is my favorite character in Guardians and him and Rocket bonding had my whole heart. We need more of it! Yondu’s backstory of being enslaved by the Kree is so interesting and underexplored, and the two things I’m most interested in is Rocket (or Rocket and Peter) finding out that not only is Yondu not dead, but that he’s been resurrected expressly to be sent back into bondage, or Rocket (or Rocket and Peter) time traveling back to when Yondu was young and still enslaved. That won’t touch on any of Rocket’s issues at all! A lot of the freeforms I picked were with an eye toward those scenarios, but missing scene/canon divergent fic with canon era Yondu is great too! I just really love him and Rocket and their backstories dovetail so well together.

I do very sincerely ship Rocket/Yondu! Explict fic for them is very welcome, if you want to write it then I want to read it. (I also do ship Rocket/Peter, but I would want one or the other, not both. Peter being flustered and insecure at Young Hot Yondu in a time travel situation would be welcome, though, or even Yondu flirting a bit since he of course wouldn’t know who Peter is.)

I have nothing against Kraglin but I also don’t find him very interesting, so I’d prefer he’d be left out.

DNW EXCEPTION: Yondu being sexually menaced or nonconned by Kree captors is great, even on page.

- Rocket or Rocket and Peter finding helping Yondu escape, or stumbling over him already mid-escape
- Rocket letting the Kree keep him as a curiosity as part of a plan to get close to Yondu, and the two of them becoming friends all over again
- Rocket or Rocket and Peter intending to play this undercover escape mission calm and cool and immediately blowing the plan when they see Yondu hurt/catch the Kree red handed
- Young Yondu being wounded while escaping and glad that at least he’ll die free, and Rocket telling him a story about a pirate he once knew

- Rocket and Peter are indirectly responsible for Yondu becoming a Ravenger by botching time travel
- They didn’t mean to time travel but they’re here now, and Peter/Rocket can’t leave Yondu to rot no matter what it will do to the timestream, that is a problem for future Rocket and Peter
- Art Extra Prompts: Rocket snuggling hurt Yondu trying to keep him warm, Rocket standing over Yondu and snarling at off page enemies, barely standing Yondu with Rocket on his shoulders, hurt Yondu leaning on Peter and/or Rocket, Yondu with a bloody gash where the fin should be, Rocket and Yondu sharing a cell or on opposite sides of bars

Arrow

I did a nostalgic rewatch of early Arrow a few months ago and while yes, I still ship Slade/Oliver as much as I ever did I’d almost forgotten that I’d loved Diggshot even a little bit more. They are the IDEAL enemies to friends (to lovers), real, actual enemies who grow to care so much about each other. The journey Diggle takes as he shifts from seeing Floyd as just the man who (they both think!) killed his brother to someone whose life he saves multiple times is just so good. I love how much Floyd admires Diggle’s honor and wishes he could be the same kind of man, while Diggle is so uncomfortable with Floyd’s passive death wish and refuses to let him indulge it if at all possible. They’re so great and I want to request them in everything.

My knowledge of the last two seasons or so of Arrow is a little fuzzy so feel very free to canon diverge any of that. Please no Barry Allen.

I do enjoy Diggle feeling a little guilty cheating on his wife with Floyd, but ignoring her is also perfectly fine (it’s not as if she doesn’t have plenty of secrets of her own.)

DNW EXCEPTION: Floyd being sexually menaced/nonconned off screen by bad guys/to maintain his cover is A-OK.
