Dear BodySwap Swap Author,

Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user

graveexcitement). I'm super excited for

bodyswapswap! This is one of my all time favorite tropes :D Thanks in advance for writing for me. I hope one or more of these prompts inspires you, but optional details are optional and the freeform tags are kind of prompts in and of themselves; feel free to ignore the prompts or only use part of them if a different idea strikes you!

All requests are for fanfiction.

Do Not Wants:
-Non-con. (To clarify: I don't want non-con but I like some dub-con, like sex pollen or other mind-altering substances.)
-Watersports/scat/bathroom kinks.
-Mundane/no-supernatural/no-magic AUs of supernatural/magical canons.
-Modern AUs of non-modern canons.

General likes/favored tropes:
I may not put most of these into my request-specific prompts and they may not even be relevant, but I enjoy these tropes:

-Time travel/time loops
-Canon divergence AUs
-Telepathy/telepathic bonds/mind-melding
-Cuddling/snuggling/falling asleep together
-Hurt/comfort (especially sickfic)
-Soulmate AUs, especially ones that include multiple soulmates and/or platonic soulmates
-Bickering/bantering
-Humor

Smut likes/favored tropes:
In general I don't tend to think of prompts that are all that explicit or pick explicit freeform tags, so my fandom-specific prompts probably won't have any smutty prompts, but if you do want to take it in a smutty direction, I'm down!

I like:
-mind-altering substances (alcohol, recreational drugs, sex pollen, aphrodisiacs)
-mating cycles/heats
-telepathy/mind-melding
-light bondage
-tentacles
-impregnation/breeding kink
-accidental impregnation

Non-kinky/vanilla smut also fine, don't worry.

My requested fandoms:

The Magnus Archives
Rigel Black Chronicles
Stranger Things

The Magnus Archives

Requested groups:
- s!Michael | The Distortion/s!Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist
- s!Michael | The Distortion & s!Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist
- s!Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist & s!Tim Stoker
- s!Gerard Keay/s!Michael | The Distortion
- s!Gerard Keay/s!Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist
- s!Gerard Keay & s!Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist

Freeforms:
* Adapting to Bodyswap
* Adapting to Bodyshare
* Before Characters Can Undo Bodyswap/Bodyshare/Possession They Must Figure Out What Caused It
* Bodyswap - A Overwhelmed By And Unsure How Control B’s Powers; B Tries To Help Them
* Bodyswap - A struggles with appetites or instincts that come with B's body
* Bodyswap - Character's Hidden Or Downplayed Injury/Illness Discovered Because Of Bodyswap
* Bodyswap - Swapped Characters Pretend To Be Each Other With Varying Success
* Bodyswap/Bodyshare Leads To "Enemies To Frenemies" And Grudgingly Earned Respect
* Bodyswap - Swapped Character Tries To Get Used To Having New Powers/Abilities/Senses
* Bodysharing - TFW The Person Who Moved Into Your Brain Keeps Heckling Your Life Choices
* Swapped Characters Think Sex Will Undo The Swap; It Doesn't But At Least The Sex Was Interesting

All of my requested groups include either Michael, Jon, or both, because I think that Michael would be a fantastically terrible person to get swapped with (or bodyshare with) and Jon could use a break from his body. Other characters struggling with Jon's body, both its accumulated hurts/exhaustion and its hunger, would be really fun. (Tim in particular gaining a better understanding of what Jon's going through by being literally put in his shoes would be great.) And of course, someone else getting a dose of Michael's... everything would be delicious ;)

Bodysharing would also be fun; perhaps there's a way for ghost Gerry to share Jon or Michael's body? Or maybe Michael, losing his physical form to Helen, winds up in Jon's body? Lots of fun possibilities here!

Rigel Black Chronicles

Requested groups:
- s!Kasten & s!Harriet Potter | Rigel Black
- s!Harriet Potter | Rigel Black & s!The Dominion Jewel | Dom
- s!Caelum Lestrange/s!Harriet Potter | Rigel Black

Freeforms:
* Adapting to Bodyshare
* Before Characters Can Undo Bodyswap/Bodyshare/Possession They Must Figure Out What Caused It
* Bodysharing - TFW The Person Who Moved Into Your Brain Keeps Heckling Your Life Choices
* Bodyswap - Swapped Characters Pretend To Be Each Other With Varying Success

* Bodyswap - Swapped Character Tries To Get Used To Having New Powers/Abilities/Senses
* Bodyswap/Bodyshare Leads To "Enemies To Frenemies" And Grudgingly Earned Respect

* Consensual Bodysharing
* Consensual Possession
* Possession - Possession Turns Into Bodysharing Arrangement
* Reluctantly handing off control of body to guest consciousness
* Soulmates Can Bodyswap At Will And Sometimes It Happens Accidentally In Times Of Stress

Rigel is in a very complex and fraught situation, which is of course why it would be fun to throw in even more complications! I'd love to see Rigel's efforts to juggle her secrets under these circumstances; does her unwitting bodyswap/bodyshare partner help or hinder her efforts? The possession and bodysharing tags are oriented more towards Dom, while the bodyswap tags are inclined more towards Caelum and Kasten, but really, go wild!

Stranger Things

Requested groups:
- s!Steve Harrington/s!Eddie Munson
- s!Steve Harrington & s!Eddie Munson
- s!Steve Harrington & s!Dustin Henderson
- s!Robin Buckley & s!Steve Harrington
- s!Mike & s!Dustin & s!Lucas & s!Will & s!Eleven & s!Max

Freeforms:
* Before Characters Can Undo Bodyswap/Bodyshare/Possession They Must Figure Out What Caused It
* Bodyswap - Canon-Typical Adventure While Bodyswapped
* Bodyswap - A Pretends To Be B During Swap; B’s Friends/Loved Ones Figure It Out Almost Immediately
* Bodyswap - Character's Hidden Or Downplayed Injury/Illness Discovered Because Of Bodyswap
* Bodyswap - Swapped Characters Pretend To Be Each Other With Varying Success
* Bodyswap - Swapped Character Tries To Get Used To Having New Powers/Abilities/Senses
* Attempts to resolve bodyswap result in different bodyswap configuration
* bodyswap - so many swaps no one can tell who’s who any more
* Everyone Else Thinks Swapped Characters Are Just Faking It
* Soulmates Can Bodyswap At Will And Sometimes It Happens Accidentally In Times Of Stress

So as you can probably tell, my groups here are: various people swapping with Steve; and the entire group of kids swapping with each other. Kid swap sounds like a lot of chaos and I am absolutely here for it. Who gets swapped with El and has to figure out her powers to try and swap them back (possibly accidentally swapping them into a different configuration)? For the Steve groups... I just love Steve and his relationships with Dustin, Robin, and Eddie, and would love some bodyswap hijinks. (Side note, I love Steve-centric hurt/comfort, so that "hidden or downplayed illness/injury" tag could be fun here!)

I hope you are inspired by something in this letter! Good luck, and have fun!

Edit 8/14: My apologies for not finishing this last week! /o\ I hope it helps; either way, I'm sure I'll love whatever you write!

Sincerely,
Grave
