Summer of Horror

Summer of Horror

Hello monster maker!

Firstly: I have included both romantic & gen ships I like outside of the gen ships or solo characters I requested. However, please don’t feel beholden to any of them! They are there only so you have a choice, I’m equally happy with gen, romantic & solo fic for this exchange. Original characters are also welcome, where they are needed!

Secondly, I love horror so damn much. I love it in…pretty much any form, any genre. It always makes things better! :D I have left some specific prompts for all my fandoms, as well as a list of general prompts/horror likes, plus anything in art likes, which are all for the taking. I also have listed some of my fave horror canons, and like I mention there, feel free to crossover or fuse or in any way use them to influence, if it provides extra inspiration.

But, also, feel free to go totally rogue!! I trust you complete. As long as it isn’t in my DNWs, there is nothing I don’t love in horror and wouldn’t interested in exploring. :D

Also tiny tiny note to say, erotic horror is also something I like as much as any other genre, so feel free to go in that direction if you wanna.

Anyway, the true horror of this exchange is how long this section is getting. Basically, in short, "do as you like, I’m sure I’ll love it & I can’t wait to see it!"

—

Things sometimes considered "opt-in" that I enjoy: mentioned past relationships or background ships, major character death, experimental formats inc. interactive fiction, pregnancy*, miscarriage, abortion, graphic violence, sad or ambiguous endings, pandemics, suicide, self-harm, ships breaking up or one/both of them dying (or killing each other)

Extra special note on pregnancy as it relates to breeding kink: I used to DNW breeding kink, but, as sometimes happens, what once was a big squick is now something I enjoy for my ships! So please ignore any previous mentions in the past about it that might have asked it to steer away from breeding in letters/answers to qs from mods. It’s now absolutely on the table! My only sticking point is that if you want to write m/m breeding kink, it should not result in mpreg but should instead stay within the realm of dirty talk.

Non-breeding-kink-related pregnancy in fiction is also still awesome and well-loved in all its forms and stages, as is pregnancy sex! Whatever you like, it’s no longer a needle to thread.

—

All of the below are non-exhaustive lists to illustrate what I like in some of my broader likes — but feel free to go off-script if you think it’ll fit a ship well. As long as it doesn’t hit my DNWs, I’m pretty open!

*Things I like in darkfic: noncon and dub con; Came Back Wrong; Something Made Them Do It; betrayal; grief; dealing with past trauma or receiving the trauma within the fic; suicide or dealing with suicidal thoughts (or being gaslit into suicide); being haunted (figuratively or literally) by past wrongs they committed; actions motivated by self-loathing or loneliness; lashing out in hurt; torture & aftermath; revenge; non-consensual non-sexual actions; boundary violations, and anything appropriate from any other list :D You can’t really go too bleak or upsetting for me, in general.

**Things I like in hurt/comfort: whump; sickness; injury; comfort from the enemy; being severely bloodied or beaten; overworking to the point of sickness; touch-starvation; emotional hurt heaped high; feeling dead inside; feeling undeserved of comfort; bathing/washing; drying bathed party with a towel; comfort applied by the person who hurt them; being embarrassed about their hurt; the comforter being embarrassed or guilty that they are attracted to or aroused by the hurt party; pregnancy and related sickness or discomfort; sex as comfort; all the pining possible; being hurt trying to protect the person they care about; forced proximity; crying when you’ve been trying so hard to hold it in

***Things I like in horror: please see my above list for fic, or my list below for art!

Art Likes

I like a wide variety of art! Yeah, very helpful, I know, but I really do! Bold colours, black & white/greyscale, jewel tones, dark neons, pixel art etc.

I love interesting compositions and perspectives, and shots that feel like the characters were caught in the moment — intimacy, basically. I really like dark and angsty or intimate and intense vibes, or any kind of creeping dread or tentative atmospheres.

You can see my general prompts in my Little Black Dress letter. But I have some horror/horror-adjacent prompts here:
- Gothic vibes
- Spooky architecture
- Blood, inc. blood drinking, cutting, blood sacrifice, nosebleeds etc.
- Possession
- Ghosts
- Spooky/altered shadows
- Hunted
- Woods & forests, esp. trees in silhouettes or twisted, ugly trees
- Things growing on/in people or things
- Rot in any capacity, inc. people rotting
- Magic representations, cauldrons, potions etc.
- Eyes, so many eyes, all the eyes
- Tarot cards
- Nightmares
- Bruises or visible hurt
- Vampire AUs with vampire bites or feeding
- Representations of fear/feeling small/reeling from rejection/loneliness
- Crying
- Someone being "out of reach", whether literal or metaphorical
- Mourning
- "Puppet master"-style imagery
- Uncanny things
- Reflections in knifes/mirrors/etc.
- Mirrors in general
- The Abject
- Corpses
- Zombies
- Creepy crawlies!! I love bugs + spiders + what not. This can be on their own, crawling out of people’s mouths/ears/nose/orificies, becoming part of them body-horror-like, on food, crawling around the place, disgusting strange bugs that don’t seem right etc.
- Cats, bats & other associated spooky animals
- Graveyards
- Captivity
- Cannibalism

I don’t have specific art-related DNWs. Any art style is extremely welcome. Any rating or level of consent is great with me.

I hope my prompts below are useful for art too, but as I’m still pretty new to prompting for art, take whatever liberties you want to. You know better what works than I do!

Smut Likes

Rough sex, vanilla sex, hand and finger kink, enthusiastic cunnilingus, public use and gangbangs, held down, biting/scratching, bittersweet sex, noncon, dubcon, accidental stimulation, heat cycles, face-fucking, extremely emotionally charged sex, spanking, casual D/s, first times, humour and awkwardness, aftercare, femsub, fingerfucking, shoving fingers into mouths, public and semi-public sex, Bad Guys Made Them Do It, pining while fucking, sex pollen inc. only one partner doused, affectionate use of the word "slut/whore" (like "you’re a good little slut"), showing trust through sex acts, voyeurism, masturbation (solo, mutual and guided), frottage, clothed and semi-clothed sex, handholding while fucking, being bent over furniture

I’m okay with either come/cum as spelling and with pussy, cunt or vagina as terminology for vaginas.

Other kinks that work with my prompts are fine! I haven’t listed everything I like. My DNW list captures all the things I know I don’t like, but basically, for everything else: try me.

Eroticised horror is also very welcome, and it can play with any of these kinks or anything else not DNW’d, and doesn’t always have to be pleasant.

DNWs

- Pastiche of any specific Lovecraft stories*
- Anyone under 18 involved in explicit sex
- Noncon involving trans characters
- Scat, watersports, emetophilia, belly kinks (inc. feeding & inflation), fisting, oviposition, tentacles, sounding, rimming
- CSA or elder abuse in anything more than mentions (other kinds of abuse are fine to be featured)
- The phrase “to the hilt”
- Mpreg
- Readerfic

* I’m open to cosmic horror as a genre, but anything that hews too closely to Lovecraft’s style and/or his specific stories is not something I’m hugely interested in. For that reason, I haven’t selected Cosmic Horror as a genre for any of my requests, but this is me opting into "cosmic horror that is more about big, unknowable things and existentialism and madness but isn’t necessary derivative of any of Lovecraft’s specific stories". Obviously, his influence will usually be felt in cosmic horror, but I just don’t want to necessarily recognise The Call of the Cthulhu or At the Mountains of Madness. In general though, don’t sweat it too hard, this is a softer DNW and more about the spirit than the letter of the law.

Star Wars Sequels

>>>Rose Tico
Body Horror, Dark Fantasy, Folk Horror, Gothic Horror, Institutional Horror, Killer Horror, Medical Horror, Monster Horror, Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror, Religious Horror, Science Fiction Horror, Supernatural Horror, Survival Horror, Violent Horror

Romantic Ships: Hux/Rose, Ben/Rose, Rey/Rose, Phasma/Rose, Leia/Rose, Paige & Rose, Rey & Rose, Finn/Poe/Rey/Rose
Gen Ships: any combo of Finn & Poe & Rey & Rose, Hux & Rose, Ben & Rose, Leia & Rose
And some background ships I love: Rey/Ben, Finn/Poe, Finn/Poe/Ben, Finn/Poe/Rey, Leia/Poe, Leia/Han

There is just not enough space horror in this world. Let’s correct that! I love Rose so much, she is a perennial fave. I just have this strong feeling that she would be good final girl material. I like that she is righteous and willing to fight for what she believes in, but also kind of ruthless because of it. I like her softer sides too, when we see them.

I’m happy with any settings within the universe, and canon divergent AUs—especially "X lives" divergences. For any other AUs or fusing with any other horror canons, I still prefer things that stay within the Star Wars universe. Any point in canon is good—including throwing Rose forward/backward in time to other points in the SW canon—except for the TV shows, which I’m not up to date on.

Also, to note: I don’t mind whether Rose, or any other characters you choose to include, lives or dies in whatever you create. Either is great!

- Abandoned/ghost ships
- Space diseases or parasites
- Stranded on a planet that is not what it seems
- Someone Comes Back Wrong
- Answering distress calls that turn out very differently from what they appear
- Something is Wrong with the people on this ship
- Vampires/werewolves/any kind of horrifying transformations
- Locked in a time loop that keeps getting darker and darer
- She can bring back Paige, but it comes at a terrible price
- The First Order will use any means necessary

The Mummy

>>>Beni Garbor
>>>Evy Carnahan O’Connell
Body Horror, Comedic Horror, Dark Fantasy, Folk Horror, Gothic Horror, Institutional Horror, Killer Horror, Medical Horror, Monster Horror, Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror, Religious Horror, Science Fiction Horror, Supernatural Horror, Survival Horror, Violent Horror

Romantic Ships: Rick/Evy, Evy/Anck Su Namun, Evy/Imhotep, Beni/Rick, Beni/Evy, Beni/Johnathan, Imhotep/Beni, any combination of these as OT3/4/5 etc.
Gen Ships: Rick & Evy, Evy & Imhotep, Rick & Evy & Alex, Evy & Jonathan, Rick & Beni, Beni & Evy, Beni & Imhotep, Beni & Imhotep & Anck Su Namun
And some background ships I love: Imhotep/Anck Su Namun, Ardeth/Jonathan
But I basically love any combos with any characters from this franchise; go wild :D

These films though *_* They are such a lot of fun, and they only get better with every rewatch. I love Evy so much, as the clumsy and scatterbrained academic who is at the same time fearless, and Beni, on the other end of the spectrum as a completely cowardly little wretch, is a newer fave. Please throw either or both of them into some trouble :D

Pre-, post- and during canon are all very welcome, as are things set during The Mummy Returns (inc. for Beni, if you wanna do a "Beni lives AU"—or bring him back in more dastardly ways). I like Alex, so feel free to bring him along if you wanna! Other AUs are very welcome, too, as long as the characters remain fundamentally the same, as are Rule 63 versions of any characters.

Also, to note: I don’t mind whether Evy or Beni, or any other characters you choose to include, live or die in whatever you create. Either is great!

- Imhotep can body-snatch
- Vampires or werewolves in Egypt
- Egypt is not the only place with mummies
- Crossover with The Beetle by Richard Marsh
- What would the world look like, if Imhotep had won?
- A new horror, even more terrible horror emerges from this sarcophagus
- Supernatural horrors aren’t the only things to fear: people can be monsters too
- Some curses can invade the body and mind and change a person
- The Medjai have dark and terrible secrets
- The only way to beat Imhotep is through even darker, mutilating magic

Bunny

>>>Ava & Samantha Heather Mackey
Body Horror, Dark Fantasy, Folk Horror, Gothic Horror, Institutional Horror, Killer Horror, Medical Horror, Monster Horror, Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror, Religious Horror, Science Fiction Horror, Supernatural Horror, Survival Horror, Violent Horror

Romantic Ships: Ava/Samantha, Ava/Max, Ava/Smantha/Max, Samantha/Max, Samantha/any (or all) of the bunnies
Gen Ships: Ava & Samantha, Ava & Samantha & Max, Ava & any of the bunnies, Samantha & any of the bunnies, Samantha & Jonah
And some background ships I love: Bunny OT5

We love this book, bunny, we love it. It’s just so creepy and engages with so many interesting themes, we might even call it delicious. Isn’t it delicious, bunnies? It is, it is! We love it so much that ever since we read it, we just can’t stop writing in collective first ^_^ But in all seriousness, this book was awesome! I love the cult-y aspects, the fuck-you to creative writing academia culture, and all the body horror and general creepiness. I also really love the Warren as a setting. Excellent. I love Samantha especially, and her relationship with Ava (and with Max, by extension) is fascinating to me.

I’m happy with things taking place during any period of canon, inc. pre- or post-. For Ava post-canon, you can AU her alive, have her haunting, or even just have her as a huge, imposing figure on Samantha’s life. I do love the ending, with Samantha walking away from it all, but I’m equally happily for her to regress, or for that walking away to be later if you want to keep it.

Feel free also to Rule 63 Max or Jonah to female if you wanna include them! In no way necessary, I love them in their male forms too, but it’s an option if you want it!

Also, to note: I don’t mind whether Ava or Samantha, or any other characters you choose to include, live or die in whatever you create. Either is great!

- Ava comes back wrong
- How can you tell what is real, and what monstrous thing has been created?
- Prey animals are one thing, but what can be created from predators?
- Madness is not easily shaken
- The lengths we’ll go to, to hold onto what is Ours
- The past always comes back to haunt us
- We must take care of our toys or they’ll turn on us
- Someone — or something — is killing their creations
- Erotic horror; what of the creatures that can have sex?
- There are many other horrors lurking deep in Warren
- It’s easy to believe yourself God when you can create human life

The Folk of the Air

>>>Jude Duarte
>>>Cardan Duarte
>>>Jude Duarte & Cardan Greenbriar
Body Horror, Dark Fantasy, Folk Horror, Gothic Horror, Institutional Horror, Killer Horror, Medical Horror, Monster Horror, Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror, Religious Horror, Supernatural Horror, Survival Horror, Violent Horror

Romantic Ships: Jude/Cardan, Jude/Balekin, Jude/Daine, Cardan/Taryn, Cardan/Nicasia, Cardan/Locke, Cardan/Valerian
Gen Ships: Jude & Cardan, Jude & Taryn, Jude & Taryn & Vivienne, Jude & Madoc, Jude & Eva, Jude & Locke, Cardan & Asha, Cardan & Balekin, Cardan & Locke, Cardan & Nicasia, Cardan & Valerian
And some background ships I love: Taryn/Locke, Taryn/Nicasia, Taryn/Madoc, Vivienne/Heather
But I basically love any combos with any characters from this trilogy; go wild :D

I cannot tell you how much I love this trilogy of books. Jude is just such a great character — she’s filled with angst, and yet is so determinedly active about it, rather than ever letting herself dwell. I love anyone willing to burn themselves to the ground for what they want. And Cardan is just a wonderful hot mess with so many interesting layers. And damn, that chemistry is sizzling. There’s a huge amount of room for horror in this world too, with the faes being their own kind of terrifying.

Any era of canon is welcome, including pre- or post-. If you want to diverge, also, that’s of course fine, including ignoring the novella’s idea of their married life (if writing Jude/Cardan). For any AUs other than canon divergent, I do prefer it to be set in this universe still. I’m also open to Rule 63s of any of the characters, if you want to.

Also, to note: I don’t mind whether Jude or Cardan, or any other characters you choose to include, live or die in whatever you create. Either is great!

- Someone Comes Back Wrong
- Ancient dark rituals of the fae
- A fae with an interest in biology wants to know how humans work
- Vampirism in Elfhame
- It’s easy to worship monsters as gods
- Mortal pollution has reached the Undersea, and it is causing a terrible sickness
- Elfhame’s forests have a life of their own
- A killer in the court of fae
- Cardan’s curse has far-reaching consequences
- Something Isn’t Right in one of the courts

Bridgerton

>>>Lady Danbury
>>>Penelope Featherington
Body Horror, Dark Fantasy, Folk Horror, Gothic Horror, Institutional Horror, Killer Horror, Medical Horror, Monster Horror, Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror, Religious Horror, Supernatural Horror, Survival Horror

Romantic Ships: Lady Danbury/Benedict, Lady Danbury/Queen Victoria, Lady Danbury/Violet, Penelope/Edwina, Penelope/Eloise, Penelope/Lady Danbury, Penelope/OFC, Penelope/OMC
Gen Ships: Penelope & Eloise, Penelope & Portia, Penelope & Lady Danbury, Lady Danbury & any character
And some background ships I love: Daphne/Simon, Anthony/Kate, Portia/Jack, Benedict/Henry, Philippa/Finch

I have such a soft spot for this show, and I’m just absolutely in love with Lady Danbury and Penelope. They are both so fascinating (and also gorgeous)! Lady Danbury with her hard wit and scheming, Penelope with her feeling pushed out, and her secret identity. I think the show often accidentally gets darker than intended, but I’d really love to see some intentional horror.

Either season is great, as is post-canon or divergences. For pre-canon, any time for Lady Danbury is welcome. For Penelope, I prefer it to be only a little before canon begins, as the lead up to and commencement of her Lady Whistledown alter-ego is intensely interesting to me. AUs are welcome, and setting changes are fine as long as the characters remain recognisable. Rule 63s are also okay for any characters, if you’re feeling it.

Also, to note: I don’t mind whether Lady Danbury or Penelope, or any other characters you choose to include, live or die in whatever you create. Either is great!

- Going to visit a new bachelor in his strange country estate
- Supernatural creatures are a real menace
- Something is very Wrong with this newcomer to the scene
- Ghosts may begin friendly, but they don’t always stay that way
- A spate of lords & ladies get murdered: someone is out for blood
- We all must pay for the things we do, even in private
- All Hallows Eve really does thin the veil
- A passion for seances sweeps London
- Lady Whistledown discovers more than she bargained for
- An ancient and terrible curse can be an unwelcome dowry

Nancy Drew

>>>Nancy Drew
>>>Bess Marvin
>>>Ryan Hudson
>>>George Fayne
Body Horror, Dark Fantasy, Folk Horror, Gothic Horror, Institutional Horror, Killer Horror, Medical Horror, Monster Horror, Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror, Religious Horror, Science Fiction Horror, Supernatural Horror, Survival Horror, Violent Horror

Romantic Ships: Nancy/Ace, Nancy/Tamura, Nancy/Bess, Nancy/George, Nancy/Nick, Nancy/Ryan, Nancy/Gil; Bess/George, Bess/Odette, Bess/Lisbeth, Bess/Victoria, Bess/Temperance; Ryan/Carson, Ryan/Lucy, Ryan/Valentina
Gen Ships: Any combination with any of the characters, honestly! I love them all, and usual or unexpected combos are welcome. Also I love McGinnis and miss him so feel free to bring him back, heh.
And some background ships I love: George/Nick, Nick/Tom Swift, Ace/Amanda, Gil/Amanda

I did not expect to get so thoroughly sucked into this show, goddamn! But it’s so much fun and it’s awesome how many different horrors we’ve gotten to experience over the seasons. I love Nancy and the way she is pretty difficult and driven but still kind. I love Bess, who is sometimes selfish but is always well-intentioned and is finding her feet in her new role. I love George and the fact she argues first and asks questions later. And Ryan goes from being kind of sinister into a charming idiot and I love him in both roles. I also really like the setting, and the surrounding cast!

Any time during or post-canon is great, as is diverging from any point. Also, if you wanna set it pre-canon, before the gang has really solidified, please feel free! I’d be really interested in seeing them back then and maybe having their paths converge in different ways, significant or not.

Also, to note: I don’t mind whether Nancy, Bess, Ryan or George, or any other characters you choose to include, live or die in whatever you create. Either is great!

- Horseshoe Bay gets stuck in a time anomaly at the worst possible time
- Trying to solve Nancy & Ace’s curse only breaks things further
- A bodysnatcher comes to Horseshoe Bay
- Breaking down in the wilderness is dangerous in these woods
- A curse is making the gang transform into monstrous beings
- People are dying by being buried alive
- What greeted Nancy in that graveyard at the end of season 3?
- Supernatural horrors exist, but people can be monsters too
- A cannibalism cult is discovered in Horseshoe Bay
- One of the gang is taken as a sacrifice for an ancient and terrible ritual

Yellowjackets

>>>Shauna Shipman & Jackie Taylor
>>>Shauna Shipman & Taissa Turner
>>>Natalie Scatorccio
Body Horror, Dark Fantasy, Folk Horror, Gothic Horror, Institutional Horror, Killer Horror, Medical Horror, Monster Horror, Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror, Religious Horror, Supernatural Horror, Survival Horror, Violent Horror

Romantic Ships: Shauna/Jackie, Shauna/Taissa, Shauna/Jeff, Taissa/Natalie, Taissa/Van, Taissa/Simone, Natalie/Misty, Natalie/basically anyone
Gen Ships: Shauna & Jackie, Shauna & Taissa, Shauna & Javi Shauna & Lottie, Taissa & Lottie, Natalie & Ben, Natalie & Travis
And some background ships I love: Lottie/Laura Lee, Lottie & Laura Lee, Lottie & Van & Misty, Misty/Jessica, Misty & Jessica, Misty & Ben
Buuuut you can combine any of my requested character(s) with any other from the show and I will be very happy! I love the whole cast.

Ugh, this show!! It’s just so goddamn good and ticks all my iddiest boxes. I want to write why I love these characters, but every time I start, I end up writing like 400 words and that’s no good so suffice to say: I just love them for all the ways that they are, messy and traumatised and sometimes cruel, and am very happy with any which way you wanna portray them.

Settings-wise, during either canon period is more than welcome, as is setting it in the time gap. I’ve only included one prompt for something that happens canonically, but also feel free to dive into the canonical horrors, inc. the cliff hanger of season 1, if that’s what you fancy! I’m here for it all. Canon divergent AUs are more than welcome, also.

Also, to note: I don’t mind whether Shauna, Jackie, Taissa or Natalie, or any other characters you choose to include, live or die in whatever you create. Either is great!

- It’s not just what is in the woods to worry about, but the woods themselves
- Misty is the wrong person to anger
- Some of the girls are transforming into something monstrous, the longer they stay here
- Cannibalism imparts not just protein, but something else entirely
- Trapped in a time loop that only seems to get darker
- The other girls have vanished; what happened to them?
- Crossover with Bunny, i.e. creating people out of creatures
- Lottie’s present-day cult has sinister overtones
- Coming Back Wrong
- Something is wearing something else’s skin

A Series of Unfortunate Events

>>>Klaus Baudelaire & Sunny Baudelaire & Violet Baudelaire
Body Horror, Comedic Horror, Dark Fantasy, Folk Horror, Gothic Horror, Institutional Horror, Killer Horror, Medical Horror, Monster Horror, Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror, Religious Horror, Science Fiction Horror, Supernatural Horror, Survival Horror

(This is the one show I’m not putting in romantic/gen/background ships for: I love all the characters, good and bad alike, in this entire canon and the cast is just way too big to even start getting into. All romantic and gen ships are my jam, but non-canon is also fun!)

I loved this show so much more than I expected. I’m also currently listening to the books so I was really pleased to see this in the tagset, because I would love more time with these characters. And, well, for it to get even more horrifying for our poor orphans! I love all three of them a lot, especially how much just goddamn gumption and determination they have. I also love the way the plot unwinds, and all the secret society stuff. It’s so much fun!

Any point during or post-canon is great, as is pulling in any characters where needed. Taking a specific episode arc and making it more horrifying/diverging from it, or digging into something new are both equally welcome. If you want to pastiche the style of the show or books, that’s also welcome, but as is a totally new spin. Basically, whatever you got, I’m eager for it!

Also, to note: I don’t mind whether any of the Baudelaire orphans, or any other characters you choose to include, live or die in whatever you create. Either is great!

- Count Olaf returns post-canon, and he Comes Back Wrong
- The crows of VFD village sometimes require a sacrifice
- Count Olaf is willing to tap into otherworldly powers to capture the Baudelaire orphans
- One of their guardians owns an old, crumbling gothic mansion; or a deep underwater lair
- VFD has some dark secrets of its own
- Brainwashing really can make you do things against your nature

Body Horror, Dark Fantasy, Folk Horror, Gothic Horror, Institutional Horror, Killer Horror, Monster Horror, Paranormal Horror, Psychological Horror, Religious Horror, Supernatural Horror, Survival Horror

Romantic Ships: Leah/Haley, Leah/Female Farmer, Leah/Marnie
Gen Ships: Leah & Elliot, Leah & Marnie, Leah & Female Farmer, Leah & Krobus, Leah & any other female character really, Leah & Gus, Leah & Linus, Leah & the Wizard
And some background ships I love: Harvey/Farmer, Harvey/Shane, Caroline/Wizard, Sam/Sebastian/Abigail
But I basically love any combos with any characters from this game; go wild :D

This is my go-to game for playing when I want to unwind, and Leah is best girl! I love her forest lesbian vibes, how passionate she is about art, and also I just think she’s really cute. She’s also a prime target for horrors, being an outsider who lives alone in the woods! Let’s terrorise her a bit (or have her terrorise/join in on terrorising someone else?! That’s also a possibility I’m open to)!

I don’t mind whether the Farmer has arrive or not yet (except for where the prompts specify), and, if they have, I have no strong feelings for gender/appearance/name—only that they are a distinct character, please, rather than a stand-in. Using canonical horrors from the mines/skeleton cave/etc. is also extremely welcome, as is introducing new horrors. Also, 1.5 hasn’t come to mobile yet so I’m not totally caught up, but please feel free to spoil me and use any content from that update!

Also, to note: I don’t mind whether Leah, or any other characters you choose to include, lives or dies in whatever you create. Either is great!
