Dear Chocolatier (Chocolate Box Round 5, 2020)
Hi there! Thanks for checking out my letter. I list some fandom and ship-specific prompts below, and at the end you'll see a list of some of my favorite tropes and kinks. As a general rule: I'm fine with any rating--mostly I just want to see intimacy play out in some way. I very much welcome M and E-rated sexy content, but it isn't by any means a requirement.
My god, I love this ridiculous show. For the record, I've not read the books, and I've only played a few hours of The Witcher 3, so I don't have a lot of canon knowledge beyond what we've seen in the tv series and some stuff I've picked up by fannish osmosis, but I'm not fussed about spoilers, so feel free to incorporate either book or game canon as it pleases you.
For either relationship I'm really game to see some missing scenes. The show skipped so much time along the way, but also made it clear that Geralt had Jaskier tagging along on a number of adventures, and that Geralt and Yennefer were alternately sexing and antagonizing one another semi-regularly.
Tell me a story of Geralt and Jaskier bonding over a campfire, or Jaskier trying to get the details right for a song up close and personal, not just for himself, but because it matters. Or Jaskier trying to make friends with Roach in order to impress Geralt. (Maybe Roach is charmed by his efforts and tries to set them up.)
Or tell me about the chamomile and Geralt's lovely bottom, however that happened. ;) That was awfully early in their relationship--how has it changed over the years? Alternately, after their parting I expect Geralt and Jaskier's next meeting might be a bit tense.
Tell me about Geralt and Yennefer's sexcapades or them competing (as in episode 1.6) for a magical item or resource. (It seems like that wasn't the first time something like that happened.) Or, tell me about a different time they fought together on the same side--that whole battle-couple thing was *extremely* hot and clearly they'd done something similar before...
Sexcapades-specific prompt: Yen pegging a slightly dubious but eventually very enthusiastic Geralt.
Alternately, how does Geralt answer Ciri's question about Yennefer at the end of the series? It seems like fate keeps on dragging them together, and Yen isn't far away at that point (though how she's doing after that huge magical exertion is a fair question). Fate has certainly been intervening sharply of late--maybe Geralt finds himself somehow dragged straight to Yennefer next with Ciri in tow.
For what it's worth I feel like Geralt/Jaskier and Geralt/Yennefer probably can coexist at the same time, considering that they all keep falling into one another's lives intermittently. Consider this something of an optional 'and' request and include both relationships in your fic by mixing and matching these prompts! I don't really see them as a threesome (more a poly V where neither Jaskier or Yennefer are particularly bothered by the fact that the other is with Geralt much of the time) but if you get an idea for writing them as a trio, please go for it! Jaskier seemed to certainly enjoy being a voyeur during Geralt and Yennefer's initial hook up, for example...
Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey
Dirk/Kris/Talia (Valdemar)
Missed opportunity threesome of my teenaged heart! Feel free to go canon divergence with this--somehow the three of them get together prior to Talia and Kris's ill-fated journey to Hardorn somehow. Maybe Dirk wasn't off mentoring Skif and got sent their way while Talia and Kris were on circuit and the separate complicated things between Talia and Kris and Talia and Dirk get pulled into the light abruptly.
Alternately, fix-it: Kris doesn't die, Dirk somehow Fetches both Kris and Talia back from Hardorn, and then pulls a noble sacrifice because he wants to leave his Best Friend and Epic Crush to their perfect love, not realizing the relationship is much more complicated than that (and they need him, too).
Hell, let Kris stay dead and tell me about how they deal with his loss. How do they feel when Selenay names her own son Kris some years later?
I'm game for just about anything you want to do, though I'd prefer no setting AUs (keep them in Valdemar, that is - feel free to do canon divergence, alternate timeline, fix-it, etc).

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo/Gaby Teller (UNCLE 2015)
Napoleon Solo/Gaby Teller (UNCLE 2015)
So Illya/Napoleon/Gaby is my ultimate OT3. I really love tropes in this fandom: whump and hurt/comfort (someone, or all of them, gets hurt on the mission, how do they take care of each other?), bedsharing (FOR THE MISSION!) or huddling for warmth (caught in the snow, trapped in a dungeon, etc). Alternately, someone gets dosed with truth serum, or sex pollen, or hallucinogens, etc, and needs care.
I love imagining them becoming close, but there's definitely a lot of baggage there, between their political allegiances and the fact that they were all using one another (sometimes more honestly than at other times) in the film. How do they deal with that, post-film?
Sexy prompt: Competence kink. They are all good at what they do--what might each of them excel at that turns the others on? Could be spy-related skills or something totally off the wall.
For the Napoleon/Gaby pairing specifically, obviously they're the rarepair in the fandom, as most folks ship Illya/Gaby or Illya/Napoleon for very sensible reasons. However, I'm always curious about Solo and Gaby's relationship during and after the film. (That said, feel free to focus on Napoleon/Gaby with a background of the OT3 if you like.) Possible ideas:
They hook up that first night in West Berlin For The Job--and maybe it gets awkward later when they're working together. Or maybe they decide they want another go of it, when they're both more honest with one another about their motives. (Or Illya finds out and feels some kind of way about it, considering all the missed kisses with Gaby and...tension with Solo.)
Angsty option 1: Solo finds he's carrying a bit of resentment/baggage about Gaby selling him out and the resultant torture (after all, Waverly was very breezy about how they expected Illya to be able to escape easily, but Solo sure didn't) and has to work it out even as he finds himself attracted to Gaby. On the flip side, maybe Gaby carries some guilt about it.
Angsty option 2, hardmode: Illya dies or is otherwise removed from the team (recalled to the KGB, perhaps) and Solo and Gaby end up gravitating toward one another in his absence. Up to you whether either or both had a relationship with Illya before he was gone, or if they are just mourning missed chances with one another. (Or they find out Illya got "recalled" but is really in a Siberian gulag and they need to go do something about that, and end up getting together along the way...)

The Witcher (TV)

General trope preferences (these are in no particular order, may not apply to all fandoms/characters/pairings and include both plot tropes and sexual acts - but feel free to run with one if you're inspired):
hurt/comfort (physical and/or emotional), whump, soulmates (and soulmate subversion, and soulmates played dark), sex pollen, fuck or die, dubcon (especially when both/all parties are consenting only under duress due to outside circumstances, such as "bad guys/magic made them do it"), bondage, canon divergence/"what if" AUs, first time sex (both first time sex ever and first time for a particular pairing), sex magic, pegging, praise kink, loyalty kink, sharing a bed, huddling for warmth, falling asleep on someone, cuddling, spooning, competitive sex games (who can make the other orgasm the fastest, who can resist orgasm the longest, who can successfully finish a task while the other partner tries to get them off or tries to entice them into sex, etc), begging for/during sex, sex as an emotional outlet in the wake of tragedy, battle couples/trios, alternate magical system AUs (keep the magic, but make it different somehow), Dominance/submission (situational, prefer not to read lifestyle/24-7 D/s stuff, and if it's het I generally prefer the female character be dominant), sex between platonic friends, future fic and "next gen" fic about children of canonical characters, ghosts, communicating with the dead (via magic or weird science), enemies to lovers, threesomes, werewolves
