Extreme Timed Challenge Gift Exchange 2025 Letter

Life Series Winners

1) Deity AU

2) Watcher Lore

Likes:
Fantasy, Deity, Royalty and/or Urban Fantasy AUs.
Codependency, messed up family dynamics, power imbalance (except teacher/student).
Fluff, found family, queerplatonic relationships.
Characters being messed up and toxic or even evil without being irredeemable in terms of what they do to the main characters is great! Ex: A could be a wicked king and order someone to be tortured but they won't do that to B. Kind of like Loved ones are spared, EVERYONE ELSE SUFFERS.
Hermitcraft/Life Series-typical ridiculousness
Ride or die friendships,
characters having to be badass while going up against OC bad guys,
guilt/misunderstandings (that get resolved)
unexpected rescues
worldbuilding

DNW:
Hurt No Comfort, Major Character Death (excluding respawns/canon endings to life series), Age Regression, infantilism kink/ageplay, slash shipping on pairings I listed as platonic, genderbends, “yandere” tropes, First POV, Incest, needles, Harry Potter AU/references, Modern, Superhero, High School and Coffee Shop AUs. Explicit sex - intimacy is fine and encouraged but a fade to black is preferred for anything further, Gore, Mommy/Daddy kinks, any kind of pseudo-incest, Pregnancy, Abortion, Pregnant Sex, Kidfic, Cancer, Chemotherapy, or any other Terminal illness. Sickness in general is okay, Body Swaps, Cisswaps / “Genderbends” (trans HCs of any interpretation, regardless of whether they match canon identity are fine), Being wholly eaten alive / Vore, reader insert, misunderstandings that go unresolved.

Fandom specific DNWs:
Villainising Pearl, Grian, Gem or Scott or making them a complete bastard or irredeemable/awful - again in terms of what they do to the main characters, if you make one of them a deity who wouldn't blink an eye at sending a plague because one person pissed them off, I actually would encourage it so long as they would also never do such a thing to those in the relationship tag. Basically it doesn't have to be a healthy relationship but I don't want it to be abusive.

FIAB 2025 Letter

Hi!

Before I jump into this, just so you know, this is like the first event/exchange of this type I'm doing (aside from the Extreme Timed Challenge Gift Exchange but thats kind of running simultaneously at the time of writing this) so my apologies if things are messy, I am still getting the hang of it!

I've included prompts both here and on the sign up, but the ones here have a couple more details about specific scenarios I've thought up. No need to follow any of these specifics (except DNWs of course) to the letter or to any extent, these are just additional thoughts of mine regarding AUs or situations.

Treats are very very welcome in any and all mediums/formats/lengths.

The Villies
1) The Siege of the Lighthouse! The three villies surrounded and yet not at all scared, laughing in the face of their enemies. Escaping without a scratch and yet having to watch their base burn, all the while swearing that they will get their revenge. (

2) Fantasy AU - everyone knows to avoid the strange lighthouse, perched high upon the cliffs and surrounded by various pitfall traps. They know to put their heads down and ignore the strange noises coming from it and to never ever look one of its inhabitants in the eye.

3) Royalty/Rulers AU - the three of them overthrew the previous ruler and took the throne years ago. They guard it and each other fiercely. (Think Session 6 when it was the server v the villies and also when Ren and Impulse tried to talk to Pearl alone for kind of the vibe I'm thinking.)

4) Anything else you think of that fits my DNWs and likes!

You can make them as toxic or possessive or as healthy as you want, all I ask is that each of them is fiercely loyal to the others! No doubts that they all love each other. You can also either write them as platonic or romantic, I have indicated both sets of tags.

Divorce Quartet
Please keep in the soulmate bond for these!
1) Urban Fantasy AU
2) Royalty AU
3) Reconciliation
4) Reunion in the Winners Lounge after Wild Life. Bonus points if Scar, Grian and Joel are so sick of these four bickering.

Gatekeep, Gaslight, Girlboss
1) Deity AU
2) Urban Fantasy AU
3) Double Life Aftermath
4) Wild Life and their reconciliation arc!

Galaxy Duo
1) Deity AU
2) Urban Fantasy AU
3) Double Life Aftermath

(I'm really hoping that makes sense)
