"Dear author" letter for the 2020 Id Pro Quo exchange
Dear author,
Thank you so much for participating in this challenge! I'm brighteyedjill on most platforms, including AO3. There were so many wonderful possibilities here that it was tough to choose, but I'm very excited about all these requests. In general, I'm interested to read something you're excited to write about. Obviously I've tagged lots of possibilities for each pairing, so please feel free to run with one thing or the other depending on what floats your boat. Some additional notes about each request are below. Happy writing!

Request 1: The Witcher (TV): Geralt z Rivii/Jaskier (The Witcher)
Medium: Fanfiction
Tags: Noncon - Offering To Be Raped in Loved One's Place; Noncon - Mind-controlled Into Raping Loved One; Hurt/Comfort - Learning That Love Interest Traded Getting Raped With Character's Release; Noncon - Forced To Rape Loved One To Save Them From Worse Fate; Sex pollen - affected A tries to protect unaffected B from themself but B insists on staying; Sex Pollen - Affected A seriously injures unaffected B and blames themself; Sex Pollen - Accidentally hurting partner while under the influence; Sex Pollen - Self-Sacrifice of Unaffected Victim To Keep the Accidental Aggressor Alive; Sex Pollen - Experienced as terrifying loss of self-control; Amnesia - retrograde amnesia makes A forget all about B and their relationship; Character goes feral; only their mate can calm them; Hurt/Comfort - Character isn't used to being loved and shown tenderness/affection; Hurt/Comfort - Character is Feral/Animalistic After Long Dehumanizing Imprisonment; Dubcon - Conditioning Means Unable to Say No For Sex
DNWs: Maiming/Loss of limbs, character enjoying a rape (unwilling arousal OK; making the most of a sex pollen dub-con situation by trying to get into it OK; please avoid a character starting to like being raped halfway through), bashing of lady characters for the sake of getting two men together, scat/watersports, completely unhappy endings (ambiguous, open, or bittersweet fine, just not one where everybody dies)
Things I love about this fandom and pairing: Established relationship or pining are both great for this pairing. I like all combinations of topping/bottoming, though my personal headcanon is that Geralt would really love someone to boss him around. There are so many possibilities for getting into trouble with monsters of the week, or with Random Evil Nobles, or Gang of Nefarious Nilfgaardians, so please feel free to invent antagonists as needed. I love Geralt really having lots of feelings that he doesn't think he can share/show, and Jaskier being convinced Geralt could never love him.
Request 2: The Witcher (TV): Jaskier | Dandelion/Original Male Character(s)
Medium: Fanfiction
Noncon - corrective rape to change victim's sexual orientation; Noncon - Victim is Convinced They Are Ruined; Noncon - rapist forces victim to orgasm to shame them; Noncon - Forced Prostitution; Noncon - Forced Bestiality; Noncon - In chains and raped for days; Noncon - Character's Beauty Makes Them A Frequent Target; Noncon - Gang Rape; Noncon - hiring someone to violate someone else as revenge; Noncon - Magical Restraints; Noncon - Agreements Made for Formal/Transactional Sex Are Ignored; Noncon - Offering To Be Raped in Loved One's Place; Noncon - captive branded as property for further humiliation/dehumanization; Gang Rape - Military Occupation; Gang Rape - interrogation
DNWs: Maiming/Loss of limbs, character enjoying a rape (unwilling arousal OK; making the most of a sex pollen dub-con situation by trying to get into it OK; please avoid a character starting to like being raped halfway through), bashing of lady characters for the sake of getting two men together, scat/watersports, completely unhappy endings (ambiguous, open, or bittersweet fine, just not one where everybody dies)
Things I love about this fandom/pairing: I love Jaskier getting into trouble either independently (while out barding around) or while with Geralt or on Geralt's behalf. The idea of Jaskier getting in trouble because people want to hurt Geralt is *chef's kiss,* though the concept of him bringing trouble on himself is good as well. The OMCs could be Nilfgaardian soldiers, monster(s) of some kind, cruel young nobles out to make trouble, whatever. I like Jaskier to have some agency (being helpless is fine, but if he can do something to mitigate the situation/rescue himself, double bonus). Established or implied Geralt/Jaskier or Geralt/Jaskier/Yennefer is fine, too.
Request 3:Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies): James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy (AOS) or James T. Kirk/Spock (AOS)
Medium: Fanfiction
Sex pollen - affected A tries to protect unaffected B from themself but B insists on staying; Sex Pollen - Accidentally hurting partner while under the influence; Hurt/Comfort - Medical care after violent rape; Hurt/Comfort - Self-Esteem Issues; Dom/sub; Whump - A sacrifices themself to protect B; B is forced to watch A being tortured; Hurt/Comfort - Learning That Love Interest Traded Getting Raped With Character's Release; Rape Recovery; Noncon - Rape Recovery; Hurt/Comfort - Recovery After Abduction and Long Captivity; Noncon - Mind-controlled Into Raping Loved One
DNWs: Maiming/Loss of limbs, character enjoying a rape (unwilling arousal OK; making the most of a sex pollen dub-con situation by trying to get into it OK; please avoid a character starting to like being raped halfway through), bashing of lady characters for the sake of getting two men together, scat/watersports, completely unhappy endings (ambiguous, open, or bittersweet fine, just not one where everybody dies)
What I love about this fandom/these pairings: I love a long-suffering Bones and a trying-to-live-up-to-Bones'-love Kirk. Getting into trouble on alien planets is always a good way to go. I prefer puts-on-a-carefree-face-but-really-cares-too-much Kirk to devil-may-care philanderer Kirk. With Spock/Kirk, I love Spock's potential to be totally out of control in a way that scares him and is totally at odds with his carefully cultivated facade. I love any of these three being protective of the others, and I'm also open to Bones/Kirk/Spock OT3.
Request 4: Marvel Cinematic Universe: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers (MCU)
Medium: Fanfiction
Noncon - Offering To Be Raped in Loved One's Place; Noncon - Mind-controlled Into Raping Loved One; Noncon - Forced To Rape Loved One To Save Them From Worse Fate; Hurt/Comfort - Learning That Love Interest Traded Getting Raped With Character's Release; Hurt/Comfort - Character is Feral/Animalistic After Long Dehumanizing Imprisonment; Hurt/Comfort - Character feels useless/like a burden to their partner(s) due to their illness/injury; Dubcon - Conditioning Means Unable to Say No For Sex
DNWs: Maiming/Loss of limbs, character enjoying a rape (unwilling arousal OK; making the most of a sex pollen dub-con situation by trying to get into it OK; please avoid a character starting to like being raped halfway through), bashing of lady characters for the sake of getting two men together, scat/watersports, completely unhappy endings (ambiguous, open, or bittersweet fine, just not one where everybody dies)
What I love about this fandom/these pairings: Ah geez, I just love these two ride or die lovers. Recovery from or memories of Hydra captivity are good, but also feel free to explore their life in NYC pre-war, or during WWII, or post-Winter Soldier. Any era in their long lives is fine by me.

What I love about this fandom/these pairings: I am a sucker for bad things happening to Bucky Barnes. I chose these tags with Hydra captivity in mind, but I'm fine with other time periods as well. During Bucky's detention at Azzano? Cool! Post-Winter Solider? Cool! I'm also fine with background or established Bucky/Steve or Bucky/Sam or Bucky/Sam/Steve.
