kateoftheangelsDear Candy Hearts Creator,
Thank you for creating for me! Here's some further information if you think it might be helpful, and possible directions you may want to take your story in, should you find yourself in need of inspiration. If this additional detail is not for you, please feel free to skip it in its entirety.
My AO3: Kate_Wisdom
General likes: Banter, Best Enemies, Bodyswaps, Comrades-in-arms, Canon-era Crossovers, Enemies to Lovers, Emotional Constipation, Emotional Intensity, Ethical Dilemmas, Explicit Content, Forced Intimacy, Historical AUs, Hurt/Comfort, Iron Woobieness, Moral Shades of Grey, Plot, Punishment, Restrained Language, Spanking and Corporal Punishment, Sex Pollen, Situationally-Appropriate Crying, Third Parties Made Them Do It, World-Building
My art likes (as well as my smut likes) can be found here.) As for podfic, I would love any story from my AO3.
I am also enthusiastically consenting to treats in all forms!
Request 1
Fandom: Colditz (1972)
Pairing: Preston/Kommandant Karl
DNWs: Onscreen Character Death or Permanent Injury/Mutilation (or offscreen, for Preston), Underage, Character/Ship Bashing (especially no Caroline-bashing), Dark Preston, Dark Allies or Dark Kommandant, Unrequested Identity Headcanons, Sex Changes.
Prompts:
+ Preston has zero opportunities for romantic contact in the show; when he loses his wife Caroline in S1E9, he is not permitted to even accept a gesture of comfort from his Best Enemy, who has to break the terrible news to him, and who, to no one’s surprise, secretly adores him. Perhaps Preston stoically gives in to Karl’s comfort after Caroline’s death?
+ Perhaps the camp is struck by a misplaced Allied raid, or an escape attempt has gone awry, or by sex pollen, and Preston needs to rescue - - or, even more deliciously, finds himself in need of rescue? Or the Kommandant needs to punish his Best Enemy, but he can't quite manage it, and Preston has to step in to assist?
+ Fake Marriage AU: What if Preston was compelled by their German captors or bizarro SS rules or impending Allied postwar imprisonment to marry his Best Enemy? Would a practical yoke of convenience lead to physical intimacy?
+ Bodyswaps: What kind of mayhem would ensue if Preston swapped bodies with Karl (and, in a prompt that belongs to the smut section, they had to bang to switch back)?
+ Futurefic: Post-war, perhaps Karl seeks Preston out - - then a lonely widower trying to raise two small boys on his lonesome. What would that bittersweet post-series future happiness in post-war Britain look like for them?

Fandom: Enemy at the Door (TV)
Pairings: Richter/Philip, Richter/Reinicke, Reinicke/Clive
DNWs: Onscreen Character Death, Permanent Injury/Mutilation (or offscreen, for Richter or Philip), Underage, Character/Ship Bashing or bashing of spouses, Dark Richter or Dark Philip, Nazi apologism, Unrequested Identity Headcanons, Sex Changes.
Prompts:
The show doesn't sugar-coat, nor is it apologist for, the dark moral choices made by Richter or indeed the other Nazis or islanders on Guernsey, and I would be interested in all dark moral choices and fraught non/dubious consent shippy scenarios, with Philip Martel, with Reinicke, and Clive.
+ Perhaps Richter was unexpectedly placed in harm’s way by enemy action or his own side? Dr Martel would clearly be the only man whom he could rely on to administer both medical and non-medical treatment. Or Richter finds himself compelled as part of his duties to subjugate one of the islanders in all senses of the term, and Martel is the only one he can bear to inflict himself on? Or in an even darker version of events, after V-Day, the islanders brand Martel a collaborator, and force him to punish Richter as a sign of loyalty?
+ Alternatively, I would be delighted with these gentlemen bickering over radio requisitions, or risking their lives/their careers to rescue each other (Martel from the terrible SS a la Judgement of Solomon or Richter from a POW internment in a terrible Soviet gulag), or sharing a romantic breakfast of ersatz coffee at the Kommandantur or the Hotel Normandie. (Please deal with Anna and Olive respectfully in the manner you think best -- perhaps Olive is all for her husband's uncomfortable closeness with the Kommandant, or perhaps she's decided to pack it in and leave Philip for That Nice Doctor Forbes.)
+ Richter is definitely the sort of commanding officer who would wearily do his duty when one of his senior officers was imperilled by sex pollen or captured in a commando raid or by the Resistance, even if that officer was Reinicke. Or what if Reinicke was the non-pollened one, and had to assist Richter, or Clive?
+ Fake Marriage AU: What if Richter or Reinicke were compelled by vengeful islanders or bizarro SS rules or impending Allied postwar imprisonment to marry Clive, or (in a scenario where Olive leaves) Philip, or each other? Would a practical yoke of convenience lead to physical intimacy?
+ Bodyswaps: What kind of mayhem would ensue if Richter swapped bodies with Reinicke (and, in a prompt that belongs to the shipping section, they had to bang to switch back)? Or Reinicke with Clive?
+ Futurefic: Postwar, what if Richter, newly released from Allied imprisonment and with or without Anna in tow, decided to search for a newly single Philip, or an equally liberated Reinicke? How do they navigate a delicate postwar relationship that becomes a romance? Or what if Reinicke joined the East German military and had to work with Clive in the British military?

Fandom: Man From U.N.C.L.E. (TV)
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
DNWs: Character Death, Underage, Character/Ship Bashing, Dark Illya or Dark Napoleon, Unrequested Identity Headcanons, Sex Changes, Permanent Injury/Mutilation.
Prompts:
+ Solo and Kuryakin are comrades-in-arms and were adversaries forced to work together; despite also spending most of their time together on a love/hate, reluctantly affectionate slow boil, these are men who, by virtue of their ideological differences and the oppressive climate they lived in, were most unlikely to hook up romantically, unless compelled by their external circumstances. I would be very interested in all the evil-agents-made-them-do-it or pollen scenarios!
+ Perhaps THRUSH technology forces a soul bond, or swaps them into each other’s bodies, and they have to bang to switch back?
+ Fake Marriage AU: perhaps the partners need to pretend to get married for a case (think The Suburbia Affair!), or need to get really married for political or U.N.C.L.E.-regulation reasons?
+ Futurefic: I am very interested in futurefic for these two! Feel free to make sense of the Return Movie, or to have them both stay at U.N.C.L.E. in some head-of-department roles; have them finally return each other’s feelings, or envision for me their long-established relationship.

Fandom: Public Eye (TV)
Pairings: Frank/Helen, Frank/Vyvyan, Frank & Percy
DNWs: Character Death, Character/Ship Bashing (except for Denis, you can bash him freely), Dark Frank or Dark Helen, Unrequested Identity Headcanons, Permanent Injury/Mutilation, Noncon or Dubcon.
Prompts:
+ Fix-it fic: I still believe in a fix-it happy ending, even though Frank is a solitary, self-contained, self-isolating character who doesn’t believe he deserves nice things. In fact, and Season Seven was building to it, with Frank starting to recognise that his unbearable loneliness was something he could in fact address if he allowed himself to let his guard down. Maybe it happens organically, with him growing weary of the perpetually-broke, physically-demanding life of an enquiry agent? Or it’s triggered by circumstances - - if Helen was in trouble, he’d rush to her side, and once he’s there he might fall under her spell again and decide to stay.
+ Non fix-it fic: Helen comes to look for him again or he goes to visit her, they spend the night together at last, and then he leaves her again, because he knows he’ll only drag her down and she deserves better…
+ Missing scene: they enjoy their cute not-date at the end of S4E6 so much that they go out to catch another show together? Or Frank feels badly after the way he rejects Helen in S7E2 and sends her a note of apology? I’d be delighted by fluffiness or bittersweetness or both these things at once.
+ Percy and Vyvyan: though Helen is Frank's one true love, I would also gleefully accept Frank and Percy hooking up drunkenly, or having to fake date for a case, or if criminals made them do it! I would also be thrilled if Frank found himself in similar straits with young Vyvyan, particularly since canon did give us the drunken hookup in S6E8’s The Golden Boy. Helen would be very disapproving, but I would be delighted!
+ Bodyswaps: What kind of mayhem would ensue if Frank swapped bodies with Helen? Or with Percy? With Vyvyan?
