Past Imperfect letter

Dear Past Imperfect writer,

 

Hello! I'm also primeideal on Ao3, and I'm requesting fic for all fandoms.

 

Time travel is one of my favorite tropes, and I will be very happy with whatever you write! Feel free to mix and match prompts, and if some other trope from the list appeals to you more, feel free to bring it in too/instead. Can't go wrong with time travel.

 

With these tags, I feel like the tags themselves are basically prompts, so I don't have too much to add besides general thematic stuff I'll try to expand on/specify for each fandom. Basically, I like stories that have some sense of conclusion--happy, hopeful, or rocks-fall-everyone-dies. I don't like cliffhangers, or the sense that the (canon's) main plotlines were "for nothing." To the extent that those are canonical, I'd prefer not to focus on them.

 

Some other general likes:

-worldbuilding

-dialogue

-wit and wordplay

-nonstandard formats (documentation, epistolary, etc.)

 

DNWs:

-explicit sex

-underage sex

-rape/noncon

-issue-fic

-second person POV

-character or religion bashing

Animorphs
Any character (Aximili, Cassie, Elfangor Jake, Marco, Rachel, Tobias nominated)

Future Character Deliberately Tells Past Character Their Fate to Change History

Time Travel Fix-It - Altering Canon or Backstory

Shipwise, I like Rachel/Tobias, Marco/Rachel, and Cassie/Jake. Fixes for canon would be wonderful, or speculation on the nature of Sario Rips, the Time Matrix, etc!

Chrononauts
Any character (Jackie Robinson, Squa Tront nominated)

Accidental time travel to apocalyptic future

Witnessing an Important Moment in History While Time Traveling

Character Undoes An Important Historical Event On Purpose

Meeting your hero in the past

Time Travel for Historical Research

Time Travel to Ensure Apocalypse

Maybe one of the game's characters (or an OC) wants to meet Robinson the baseball legend and gets Robinson the track star? Or vice versa? Squa Tront trying to ensure that the Cuban Missile Crisis wipes out humanity but maybe has a crisis of conscience upon realizing that humans are kind of neat? (For this fandom, I DNW any graphic descriptions of insectoid anatomy, but more general worldbuilding about Squa's society/the mechanics of time travel would be awesome.)

Expert Judgment on Markers to Ensure...

Accidental time travel to apocalyptic future

Returning to the Dystopian Future You Escaped Back In Time From to Fix Things There

Time Travel Forward - Character visits loved ones in future where character has died

 

Bill doesn't die and travels to the future to watch Ginny. break barriers. (Is his "ghost" from episode 1 actually him time-travelling and confusing everyone?) Feel free to bring in any other characters, but I prefer gen for this fandom.

Feel free to have the secret to their success be time travel rather than either of the canon reveals (or add time travel on top of that!) Maybe Tesla invented it? DNW incest.

Skywalkers! For this exchange, I'm not really interested in the sequels except as a "bad future" that people are returning from to try and screw around in the OT/ST timeframe. But feel free to just set them aside completely and have time travel in the OT/ST era.
 

Stranger Things
Will, Eleven, the Party, the Scoops Troop

The "kids" generation is my favorite so I'd prefer not to focus exclusively on Steve and Robin if you go the Scoops Troop route but otherwise, anything goes. (Back to the Future allusions?)

--
Again, these are just suggestions, I'd be very happy with anything time travel related. Thank you in advance!
