Candy Hearts Exchange 2024 letter
Dear Candy Hearts Ex Author,
Thank you for writing me a fic! (I am open to treats!)
In general, I like everything from G-rated to E-rated stories (in terms of themes, violence, sexual content) for my requested fandoms and ships.
The Charioteer - Mary Renault:
Ralph/Laurie
I am in love with their love ❤️. For this pairing, I’m interested in stories that explore Ralph and Laurie’s lives after the novel. I’d love to see Laurie “take the lead” in their relationship in some way, take care of Ralph, dote on him, and make him feel loved. I also really enjoy the way Ralph and Laurie work together as a team, and I’d love to see that dynamic explored in the context of them navigating the queer scene as a couple.
DNW: Character death for Ralph or Laurie, fics that primarily focus on other characters and ships besides Ralph and Laurie, breaking up Ralph and Laurie, post-canon fics where Laurie wavers in his commitment to Ralph. Polyamory, Ralph or Laurie having romantic/sexual feelings for other characters, Ralph or Laurie thinking and speaking about past loves with fondness.
Mysterious Lotus Casebook 莲花楼
Li Lianhua (Xiangyi) / Di Feisheng (Ah Fei)
I have seen both the TV drama and read the novel and would love to read fics based on either (or both!) I love Ah Fei and Lianhua’s divorced-but-still-in-love vibes, and I think they were probably lovers or at least had unspoken romantic feelings towards each other before the donghai battle. I would love a missing scene fic or a canon-divergence fic taking place in pre-canon, during the events of the tv drama / novel, or post-canon.
Prompt ideas:
Or any other prompt of your choosing!
DNW: Fics that primarily focus on other characters and ships besides Di Feisheng and Li Lianhua/Xiangyi, breaking up Di Feisheng and Li Lianhua in post-canon fic (donghai divorce not included), polyamory in the present or future (past polyamory is fine), character death for Di Feisheng (Lianhua dying is fine)

Prompt ideas:
- Xiangyi and Di Feisheng's relationship before the donghai battle: their first meeting, negotiating the 5 year peace treaty, etc.
- How did Xiangyi discover Di Feisheng’s inability to taste food? Is he actually unable to taste food or was he lying about it or a secret third thing?
- How Xiangyi got ahold of Di Feisheng’s armor (and what happens when Di Feisheng sees it being used as a pot holder in the kitchen)
- Lianhua/Xiangyi ties Di Feisheng up with his signature unbreakable knots, for sexual purposes
- A missing scene from when they live together in the lotus tower after the grave robbing case: Lianhua and Ah Fei sharing a bed, daily life in the lotus tower, talking about their feelings after ten years
- Ah Fei taking care of Lianhua after the failed attempts to cure him with the medicine demon’s medicine and snakes, and/or after he heals Lianhua in the inn after Ah Mian’s wedding.
- Ah Fei falling in love with Lianhua all over again during his memory loss arc.
- The night in Jiao Liqiao's wedding chamber
- Ah Fei living with Lianhua after the events of the tv drama / novel, taking care of him as his eyes fail, his memory wanes, and his mental state deteriorates.
- Based on the novel ending: Lianhua and Ah Fei’s post-canon life by the sea
- Based on the tv ending: Ah Fei searches for Lianhua. Does he find him?
