exchangebenchDear author,
Thank you for writing for me! This'll be my first time signing up for Chocolate Box, and I'm so excited. I hope you get the gift of your dreams in return!
As usual, all my prompts and rambling below are just suggestions. If you have an idea for any of these ships, please do feel free to go for it. Outside of my DNWs, I'm open to anything from lighthearted fluff, to plotty casefic and worldbuilding, to hardcore darkfic and smut. You can also take any of my general likes as prompts in themselves.

What is it?
Food Fantasy is a F2P mobile RPG where you summon food dishes from around the world - anthropomorphized as hot people - to fight evil. I swear it's better than it sounds.
The game is free on Android and iPhone. Buuut the relevant lore for my requested characters is either event-exclusive or currently unavailable in the English version of the game, so have some relevant links:
Bloody Mary's backstory
Steak's backstory
The Bloody Mary/Steak Halloween event
Prompts
- Bloody Mary/Steak -
Fandom-specific DNWs:
* Nonbinary Bloody Mary
* Unrequested background ships. I'm fine with Mary assuming that Steak and Red Wine are an item (and being vehemently jealous over it), but I'd prefer actual Steak/Red Wine not to be a focus.
I was only casually into FF, not particularly invested in any one food soul...and then Bloody Mary kicked my door down and stole my heart. Prettyboy bisexual vampire with a Dark and Troubled Past, who rocks both masculine clothing and dresses, and is thirsty for redhead men? He's perfect, I'll take 20.
I...don't think I really have to explain why I ship him and Steak. I'd love to see anything with these two, whether it's something leaning into Bloody Mary's one-sided obsession, or something where Steak actually reciprocates his feelings.
Maybe somehow, Bloody Mary actually manages to convince Steak that Red Wine is the bad guy, and Steak comes with Mary instead. How does Mary treat Steak now that he actually has him to himself? Is he as vicious as his reputation suggests, or is he actually a gentle and considerate partner because he doesn't want to drive away the man he thinks of as his soulmate?
Also: Blood kink! C'mon, it's built into these two.
Feel free to go a noncon/dubcon route! Maybe after Bloody Mary gets loose from the church and starts bleeding innocent people dry again, Steak realizes that the best way to pacify Mary is to offer himself up to the vampire.
What is it?
Hylics is a delightful little indie RPG about four buddies who form a rock band and take a trip to the moon. Which sounds like a relatively mundane premise, but it's set in a surreal far-future Earth, everything is made out of wacky claymation, and parts of the dialogue are written on the spot using random text generation (the core plot remains the same through every playthrough, though). It's wonderful, and the main party is wonderfully shippable.
It takes about 2-3 hours to get through. It's available on Steam, or you can watch a movie version here.

- Wayne/Somsnosa/Pongorma/Dedusmuln -
I absolutely adore this ragtag band and want all the fluff about them. I’m fond of the idea of Wayne and Somsnosa having an established relationship and bringing their two new friends into the fold during/after their adventure.
Do they take their new band on tour? Do they all help Dedusmuln with exciting new archaeological expeditions? Do they take a cruise on their ship and have a peaceful vacation because killing the king of the moon is hard work and they deserve it? There's only one bed and bathtub in the resting areas, so there’s gotta be awkward bed-sharing/group-bathing shenanigans. And hey, chilling out in the Cozy Death Realm building sandcastles is canon, so you have a built-in beach episode prompt!
Hurt/comfort is also a possibility. Even in a world where death is no big deal, emotional hurt is still a thing, and Gibby did feel the need to apologize to Wayne for "everything." So maybe Wayne has some complicated feelings about killing Gibby and whatever troubled history they had there? And the rest of the party makes sure he knows they're there for him.
And, well, if you're inclined to write clay-people xeno foursomes I'm not inclined to stop you!
(Note 1: As far as I'm aware, unless I missed something, Dedusmuln's gender is never specified. If it isn't, I would be equally happy with them being a he, a she, or a they. If it is, ignore me and go with whatever's canon.)
(Note 2: You do not have to try and emulate the writing style of canon, holy shit. No random text generators required.)

Soul Calibur is a long-running series of fighting games about combatants from around the world repeatedly stabbing each other in an endless custody battle over a cursed sword. Once again, I swear it's better than it sounds.
SC is not as quick and easy to pick up as the other games in this letter, but if you're interested, the new Soul Calibur VI is a perfectly good starting point!
Prompts
- Voldo/Vercci -
I love these two so much. So, so much. Voldo's undying loyalty to Vercci, combined with his tragic backstory and general delightful, kinky, bendy weirdness, is just so perfect.
I'm down to read anything about these two! Something set early in their working relationship, when Voldo is still figuring out the enigma that is his master? A slice of life when Vercci's business is thriving with Voldo at his side? Smutty BDSM fun times because, well, *gestures in Voldo's general direction*? I'm here for all of it.
If you want to go with something set during canon, I'm here for angsty mindfuckery shenanigans from when Soul Edge impersonates Vercci to earn Voldo's trust.
- Voldo & Enrico -
SCVI was good to me in many ways, and I unexpectedly loved the idea of Vercci having a brother who was also involved in his business! Enrico provides an amazing opportunity to explore Voldo's pre-canon interactions with someone who isn't Vercci.
What does Enrico think about Voldo, at first? He was in disbelief that Vercci would so thoroughly trust someone who's not part of their family, so I imagine he can't have been all that trusting of Voldo himself. Does Voldo find a way to earn Enrico's good graces, or does he not truly care, since Enrico's opinions seem to matter little to Vercci?
Alternately, what does Enrico think about his brother's not-so-platonic master/servant relationship with Voldo, if he knows about it?
Thank you for writing for me! This'll be my first time signing up for Chocolate Box, and I'm so excited. I hope you get the gift of your dreams in return!
