Cuppa Joe 2025 exchange letter

[flo_nelja]

Hello, fellow writer! I'm so much here for jealousy and obsession, and I'm glad we share a fandom!
Happy writing!

What I love:
* Angst! Jealousy of course, lots of pining. You can have only a character waxing poetic/possessive about another for all the fic if you're into it! I love tragedy too.
* Dialogue! Promises and fights and double meaning sentences and love confessions and everything!
* Smut! Possessive sex, pining while fucking. If the sex won't happen because it's one-sided, I love masturbation with fantasies too, and dream sex.
* Convoluted stock plots! I love undercover spying situations, but in general anything that makes the tropes work is nice (including taking care of someone wounded). Humor is welcome as long as it's not making the characters' feelings seems irrelevant/small.
* Horror! Psychological horror, or situations that break a character. I especially love any kind of mind control or mental influences. Also everything related to hurting/killing the one you love, or hurting yourself for them. Noncon and underage (14yo and above) are welcome.

Do Not Wants:
* Character bashing even of unrequited characters (a jealous character can think awful things about another, it doesn't mean I want to feel like it's true)
* AU except for canon divergence, or light supernatural that doesn't change the stakes for mundane canons.
* Non-canon incest, non-canon character death except mentioned otherwise (but feel free to riff on canon character death, or to have believed-to-be-dead plots)
* Accidental/arranged Marriage, soulmates/soul marks, infidelity/cheating, love at first sight (obsession as first sight is very good, but not as a positive thing)
* De-aging, extreme underage (under 14yo), ageplay, infantilization. Bimbofication.
* Gender or sex swaps, trans headcanons except mentioned otherwise. Gender as a central theme, including possessiveness for sexist reasons.
* Survival horror, pandemics (including zombie apocalypse), post-apocalypse.
* A character being loved, winning the love triangle, and being jealous without any factual reason.



Farscape

- Magic - Monkey's Paw results in Fuck Or Die because of Character A's obsession with Character B
- Manipulation - Using Obsession Against the Obsessed
- Mind Control - Character A conditions Character B to never want to leave A

- Mind Control - J/O Character Inserts "I Belong to J/O Character" thoughts into Target's Mind
- Obsession - Dreams about being killed by the person you're obsessed with
- Obsession - Every little thing makes Character A think about their crush
- Obsession - Waxing poetic about the person you deny being obsessed with

- Scenario - Character A mind controlling/brainwashing Character B
- Scenario - Possession/Brainwashing brings out jealous/obsessive feelings
- Scenario - Character A is in denial about how obsessed they are with Character B

Additional comments:
* It can be anywhere in the timeline, I have no preferences. Canon divergence is good too.
* Jealousy - Character is Jealous of Their Clone/Alternate Universe Self : No longer in this tagset, but still a good prompt, I was thinking of Scorpius jealous of Harvey here (at least during s3 and early where Harvey has an independent existence)
* Mind Control - J/O Character Inserts "I Belong to J/O Character" thoughts into Target's Mind: All the mind control plot in s2 fascinates me.
* Canon divergence where Scorpius' brainwashing works just a tiny bit better?
* Scenario - Char A must interact/work with obsessed/possessive Char B who hurt A severely in the past: Here I was thinking more s4, an extra episode where they're forced to team up and talk.
* No Aeryn jealous of Scorpius please.



Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)

Lust/Scar (Both J/O)
Lust/Scar (Lust J/O)
Lust/Scar (Scar J/O)

- Altered States - Amnesiac character drawn to object of their obsession and doesn't know why
- Altered States - Amnesiac character A is obsessed by the past with B they don't remember
- Dub/Noncon - Obsessed A forcibly arouses B and claims arousal shows B wants A

Additional comments:
* It can be missing scene in the canon or go full canon divergence. To me, Lust when she was the girlfriend of Scar's brother doesn't count as the same character, so no no-resurrection canon divergence.
* I love Lust's obsession with her past memories and how Scar represents them
* I love how Lust is the woman Scar used to love except not at all.
* I also love the dirty part of Homunculi being obsessed with the philosopher's stone and Scar being a living one.
* I love it when Lust gets to feel the sin she represents like the others do, even if she still forces it on Scar too.
* I love self-loathing for the obsession, especially on Scar's side but both are good.



Haikyuu!!

Hinata Shouyou/Kozume Kenma (Kenma J/O)

- Altered States - Confessing Possessive Thoughts While Object of Them Is Feverish
- Obsession - Every little thing makes Character A think about their crush
- Obsession - Obsessed with defeating an esteemed rival

- Scenario - A becoming jealous makes them realize they are in love with B
- Scenario - Character A realizes their possessive rivalry with Character B is romantic pining
- Scenario - Character A is in denial about how obsessed they are with Character B

Additional comments:
* Can be before the tournament, when Kenma obsessively searches for tactics to defeat Hinata, can be just after their first encounter, can be during the time skip or post-canon... I'm not picky about this! I'm picky about not having fics without even one mention of volleyball. It's important in their relationship.
* Altered States - Confessing Possessive Thoughts While Object of Them Is Feverish: I was thinking while Hinata is sick during/after the Kamomedai match, but it doesn't have to be
* Jealousy: If Kenma gets jealous it's probably of Kageyama with him being the most obvious crush for Hinata and also a setter. Please don't have Kenma disparage his own team in the process of jealousy? I love Nekoma and if they're here or mentioned, it's better if it's in a positive/supportive role.
* If there are sexual fantasies involved I like better if Kenma tops (but it's optional)

Additional comments:
* I really love the mutual obsession of these two and I'm all for having more of it! If there's sex, it's better if it's after Sai left, but of course there doesn't need to be sex in the fic.
* I'd like if there are mentions of go in the fic, because it's so central to their relationship.
* Them being a bit more open about being obsessed with each other would be nice! To me! And also to them, learning it's not one-sided. :D

Additional comments:
* Will being jealous (about Ada) and obsessed (in general) is his default state, I'd be interested in post-120 stories where it becomes more mutual, but still in a creepy way (not for any wholesome take on their relationship or on either of them).
* Post 120: i's good if Will doesn't know about the kiss and Montresor is getting incredibly frustrated about it. It's good if he knows but only up to his death, and only remembers the rejection, not the hug, and is actively pretending not to know.
* I love first encounter in the labyrinth fics. If you want Will to have made a deal with Montresor, ti's interesting! But not needed!
* I love any missing scene or speculation about the future fic. Though I'd like no "everyone is friends now" situation.
* I love Montresor's religious issues, feel free to go anywhere with it. I also love Will's self-esteem issues.
* Smut is good but fics where the only things happening are in the character's mind are good too.



Trigun (98 anime and manga)

Legato Bluesummers/Millions Knives (Legato J/O)

Additional comments:
* For the extreme underage thing: Legato's canon manga backstory can be referenced, though not too explicitly, it is a part of his character building.
* Probably the most one-sided of all my ships here.
* I love both manga and first anime, mix them, go wild. Scenario - Character A saves Character B and Character B admires them unhealthily and obsessively is the canon Legato backstory, but it's optional.
* Possessive Behavior - Character A appoints self as Character B's caretaker: I was thinking, after Knives is hurt by Vash.
* Jealousy : About Vash of course.
