Chocolate Box 2022 Letter
Jan. 1st, 2022 04:53 pmDear author,
I'm happy to be jumping back into exchanges! As usual, all my prompts and rambling below are just suggestions. If you have an idea for any of these characters/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?
A drama/action webcomic about a high school student who starts a Youtube channel to call out bullies. This, uh, escalates. Before long he's facing off with beloved Youtubers who are also hardened criminals and would literally not think twice about murdering him. There's so many fraught, complicated relationship dynamics throughout the cast, and there's just. Just. There's just a LOT OF FEELINGS, okay.
It can be read for free right here, or on the Webtoon mobile app.
- 244/Baek Seongjun -
This pair of fictional gangster Youtubers is ruining my life. They're just...SO uniquely fucked up? The mixture of affection and resentment and dependence and pride. The offhanded confirmation that Seongjun is the first and only person 244 has cared for in YEARS. The fact that 244 is so damn indignant about caring for Seongjun that he goes full stabby yandere the moment Seongjun rejects his offer of closeness. The fact that Seongjun *literally* begged on his knees to be taken back even after 244 outright told him he was gonna end up dead if they stayed together. I just. I can't.
I would humbly request we KonMari that pesky little character death. Setting things pre-ch102 is great, or I'd love an AU where 244 faked Seongjun's death and kept him locked up in one of his shipping containers, 'bad end of a BL VN' style.
* Considering Wangguk's whole "just WHAT are you and Seongjun to each other?" interrogation of 244, that poor guy had to have seen some shit. I'd love a snapshot of Seongjun and 244 having blatantly obvious sexual tension in front of the rest of XJ, and Wangguk having a "sirs this is a Wendy's" moment.
* They fuck on the boat. That's it. That's the prompt.
* Petplay. So much petplay. Which Seongjun resists and pretends to hate, mainly because he's furious about how much it turns him on to be overtly submissive to someone who already controls so much of his life.
* Listen. Before we had their backstory, I joked that Seongjun only grew his hair out because 244 liked it. We then got: Seongjun growing his hair out after 244 told him he needed to become the kind of man he wanted... then promptly cutting it off the moment 244 dumped him. I'm not saying I called it, but I called it and 244 totally has a thing for Seongjun's pretty hair. So. Lots of grooming and hair kink, y/y?
What is it?
A drama/action webcomic about a bullied high school boy who wakes up one day and suddenly has two different bodies to switch between on a whim. While the story starts out as the typical loser-to-popular school life wish fulfillment, it takes a sharp swerve into "angsty gang warfare" around 200 chapters in. It's far from a perfect canon, and it's over 350 chapters long. I love it nonetheless, mainly for its strong characters.
It can be read for free right here, or on the Webtoon mobile app.
- Daniel/Gun -
Gun is absolutely one of my favorite characters. I love that we have this hyper-competent, masculine figure who's established as the pinnacle of strength and badassery for the rest of the cast. And then: Surprise! He's bisexual! And he's a total masochist who'd love nothing more than for our MC to pleasure him by beating him into the ground! It's beautiful.
I normally don't have top/bottom preferences for my ships, but when it comes to these two, I would prefer Gun to be the one bottoming if there's smut.
* For me, the fun part of this ship comes from the contrast in typical sexual roles. Gun is older, more experienced, and holds all the power over Daniel. But he's also a masochist who wants Daniel to beat him (and/or top him) without holding back. Daniel is so fucking out of his depth but he really doesn't have much of a choice now that he's gotten himself tangled up in Gun's world. In conclusion: Fuck him UP, Daniel.
* I love that Gun jumped to full-on sugar daddy at the drop of a hat, and that Daniel has no qualms about spending all his money. What happens when Gun pays Daniel a visit and asks to be compensated for that astronomical bar tab? ;)
* I am very much here for Goo being his usual endearingly assholish self, interfering and poking fun at Gun's new object of obsession.
* Gun takes Daniel out on the most obnoxiously expensive and formal date possible. Daniel finds it insufferable, much like Gun himself.
- Baek Seongjun (How to Fight)/Park Jong Gun (Lookism) -
LISTEN. Gun and Seongjun are in the same universe in the same country in the same timeline. They're both ethnically Korean yakuza members who lived in Japan for at least some time. They're both infamous "Onis" who could've crossed paths during their respective illegal business dealings. Therefore, I propose that they should meet and potentially bang.
* That awkward moment when two assassins show up to take down the same target at the same time. Is there, like, a yakuza gentleman's code for that sort of thing?
* Seongjun's reputation as a vicious, no-holds-barred fighter precedes him. This is highly relevant to Gun's masochistic interests.
* Years after establishing himself in his new identity, Seongjun is shocked to see the legendary Shiro Oni sitting down for dinner at his restaurant. Gun is just as surprised to see the infamous Warai Oni serving him sushi.
* To note, I am more than happy if you're in the mood to combine this prompt with either of the HtF and Lookism pairings above. 244 being dangerously jealous when Seongjun returns from a meeting with his new "business partner" Gun covered in suspicious marks? Very much here for it.
What is it?
A horror webcomic about a girl who gets isekai'd into what she thinks is her favorite romance novel...but surprise, it's actually a zombie apocalypse story! The horror elements are fantastic - I'm not usually big on zombies, but the designs here are spooky AF. And and and, the whole comic is wall-to-wall femslash potential.
It can be read for free right here, or on the Webtoon mobile app.
- Chaerin Eun/Seyeong Jin -
Listen, I'm a sucker for a good old-fashioned yandere schoolgirl. Seyeong's obsessiveness is made even more delicious by the, uh, complications of her and Chaerin's situation. Both the strained, pressing nature of the survival environment (as opposed to a peaceful school setting), and the extra layer of Chaerin knowing what Seyeong's canonical deal is. Our Chaerin isn't the clueless, naive protagonist of the novel. She knows exactly what Seyeong feels for her. How does that change things up?
* Someone drew the short straw on the night watch schedule, and Chaerin ends up alone with Seyeong late one night. Does Seyeong try and make a move on Chaerin? Does Chaerin try and befriend her despite her discomfort, for the good of keeping everyone alive as much as possible?
* I'd love to see something where Chaerin tries to take charge of the dynamic between her and Seyeong. Like, alright. You want me for yourself? Cooperate and go along with my plans for our survival, and maybe I'll consider it. (Whether this turns out favorably for Chaerin, well...)
* Seyeong's penchant for sabotaging Chaerin's happiness/relationships doesn't go away just because of the zombies. How far is Seyeong willing to go to get her girl?
* Remember that part in ch25? Where Jihyeon saw how Seyeong was panting over Chaerin and *immediately* volunteered to be on the same team so she could protect Chaerin? I definitely also ship Chaerin/Jihyeon, and I'd be here for Jihyeon sweeping in at the last moment to protect her girl from Seyeong causing her *too* much trauma...
What is it?
An ongoing comedy manga about a hapless and cowardly human teacher who ends up teaching at a high school full of youkai. While his students have fun tormenting him and watching him squirm, they quickly start bonding. It has a huge ensemble cast filled with lovable, diverse, and adorable characters, and is as heartwarming as it is funny.
You can find it right here. It's available digitally and in paperback on pretty much every platform that sells licensed manga.
- Haruaki Abe/Mikoto Sano -
Look. You give me a sadistic delinquent student who loves to torment his masochistic nerd teacher, and then give them a disdain-to-respect-to-affection relationship arc, I'm gonna love it and want more.
(I'd prefer no serious "omg I'm a teacher dating/screwing my student!" angst, simply because with the way these two's power dynamic is in canon, I can't see it playing out that way.)
* Youkai of the week casefic! Some supernatural shenanigans befall Haru and Sano and they have to work together to solve a problem, growing closer along the way.
* So when does Sano first realize he's gone from hating Haru to tolerating him to admiring him to having a massive crush on him? And how much does Haru have to suffer because Sano's so goddamn mad about that realization?
* Courtship is hard when you're a yakubyougami and your gestures of affection come out as violence and misfortune. He's trying, okay?
* The two have to sneak into a youkai event, so it's time for: Undercover as a couple!
* I'm absolutely here for awkward teacher/student smut. Definitely involving a lot of sadomasochism, probably involving sailor uniforms, potentially involving inappropriate use of yakubyougami magic. (Also, just saying: Sano's joking "yeah, I'm a god, bow down to me" line made me crave some genuine domination/worship kink. You know he'd love it.)
- Rintarou Miki & Touya Fuji -
Crossdressing buddies! <3 I just think it's really cute that Miki takes Fuji under his wing as his drag disciple. Fuji's so passionate about it! And I imagine it's good for Miki to have someone who can appreciate his prettiness and dressing-up skills without actively perving on him.
* I'm interested in whether there's youkai-specific cultural aspects to drag that humans don't have to think about. Like, if Miki's family is anything to go by, female Shutendouji are generally much stronger than their male counterparts, so maybe Miki showing off his strength actually comes off as a feminine behavior? And canon already calls out that Fuji is literally a species known as "snow women," apparently regardless of the individual yuki-onna's sex.
* Maybe a lil' bit of hurt/comfort? Where some asshole rags on a not-yet-confident freshman Fuji for his fashion sense or for not being manly enough? And Miki gets to have a wholesome teacher-student bonding moment, reminding Fuji that he's beautiful the way he is? ;^;
* I would love some behind the scenes moments of Miki and Fuji shooting the "sexy hostess bar drama" movie from the school festival. I imagine the filming process went about as smoothly as anything ever goes at Hyakki High.
I'm happy to be jumping back into exchanges! As usual, all my prompts and rambling below are just suggestions. If you have an idea for any of these characters/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.
