Dear Trick or Treaters

crantzHi! I'm Rosencrantz and thank you for looking at my letter! I hope my ideas fit into 300 or so words for a nice little ficlet but I'm also open to longer fic as well as treats.
DNW: Dub/noncon happening to or performed by the tagset characters. For example, if you did a CSI Miami story and did a case in it, the case could involve that as long as it didn't happen to Horatio Caine. Underage (18+/18- anything, 18-/18- sexual)
FIC LIKES: Casefic, ghost stories, spooky stories, 'what if things went right?', humour, mysteries, gen to explicit*, lore heavy stuff, and Halloween-y themed stuff.
*I'm sorry, I don't have a kink list of things I like or dislike. I will tell you that I am okay with Tehd going down to bone town in the many ways possible for a Forsaken.
ART LIKES: I love cartoony stuff, I love realistic stuff, I love bright colours, dull colours, I like pictures that tell a story, I like illustrations, and I like both digital and traditional media equally. A particular fondness I have is for stuff that looks like ephemera, like old photographs, tickets, stuff that would be a prop (so a drawing of something that was relevant to a tale) as well as less ephemeral stuff like something that looks like a painting on a wall in-world.

Fandom Specific Notes: We got the whole spread here, demons, zombies, and ghosts! These are the ghosts I was most interested in stories about (also the two characters I want to make semblance of kissyfaces at each other) but if you want to include any other ghosts, *especially* the Darkmoon Isle ghosts, that would be totally cool with me.
TRICK PROMPTS: Scary! The bits where Farondis isn't really all Farondis and is more the ghost of Farondis! What is Captain Ironhill going on as he patrols the demise of his soldiers, unaware of what happened there? Pamela Redpath's whole deal. Marius and Tehd fight something that even banish can't help (although if they end up okay from that one, I'd appreciate that)
TREAT PROMPTS: Weird monster boyfriend stuff! Pamela getting a happy ending. Captain Ironhill saving his fellow dwarves. Farondis being freed or Farondis finding a new way to exist as he is now that the Adventurer has done what they can for his court. Or any sort of shenanigan they can get up to. Ghostly pranks! Ghostly politics! (this goes for Pamela and Ironhill too)

Fandom Specific Notes: I chose characters most likely to interact with the scarier parts of the game like pre-oh shit it's all red now Dark Astoria! My favourite part of Dark Astoria is the Phantom Radio badge area, but also the Too Dark Park badges.
(Phantom Radio
Since the fall of Astoria, shortwave enthusiasts in Paragon City and beyond have occasionally happened upon strange transmissions of ghostly whispers, wailing pleas, bestial shouts of rage, and haunting voices chanting in dead languages. Those who have heard these grim transmissions nearly always suffer for it; their lives claimed by some unexpected calamity or their minds by a sudden and inexplicable mental illness. M.A.G.I. eventually traced the transmission to this radio tower.
and
Too Dark Park
In a far corner of the district lies McCraughly Park, a shadowy strip of green that had a dark reputation even before Astoria and its citizens were consumed by evil. Clusters of suicides, strange disappearances, and even a well-publicized multiple murder cast a dark shadow across the park. In the years leading up to the rise of Dark Astoria, the park was largely shunned, but now that the Banished Pantheon have dominion over the district, the park has become a focal point for their evil rituals.)
But there's lots of other neat places! Salamanca! The ghost ship! The leylines in Skyway! Perez Park!
These are my setting situation ideas and are not binding, obviously.
TRICK PROMPTS: Lord Nemesis finds he's lost track of who's real, Penelope Yin has to deal with the psychic fallout of doomed ghosts, the Midnighters get in over their heads.
TREAT PROMPTS: Lord Nemesis's strangest plan yet, Penelope Yin having a fun adventure, Midnighters do a team building exercise.

Fandom Specific Notes: She's seeing ghosts at the end of each episode, right? People are reacting to them when they see them too. This show is HAUNTED.
TRICK PROMPTS: Plain ol' horror story with ghosts. Lilly finds out the goddamn police station is haunted. Lilly is a medium.
TREAT PROMPTS: Lilly finally speaks to one of the ghosts. Lilly has a good day, goddamnit, Lilly discovers a new hobby at the end of a case, Lilly plays with her cats.

Fandom Specific Notes: Remember that episode in the later seasons after Warrick was killed that they thought his ghost was doing a revenge? What if... it was.
TRICK PROMPTS: Ghost Warrick! Ghost Warrick! Or pre-Warrick's demise the lab is haunted. Or a crime scene is haunted.
TREAT PROMPTS: Ghost Warrick! Ghost Warrick! Or pre-Warrick's demise the lab is haunted. Or a crime scene is haunted. Or Warrick does NOT die. And there's still hauntings. Or something involving costumes at the lab. I think Warrick would look cute in some sort of lab rat onesie as his costume.

Fandom Specific Notes: Horatio Caine is presented as a man who protects women and children and hates bigotry in all its forms. In behaviour he's a fucking lunatic and probably a serial killer. I enjoy the dichotomy and the explosions.
TRICK PROMPTS: Haunted crime scene! Haunted lab! Horatio has to deal with the ghosts of his various adventures. Horatio's dead family appears. Haunted gun.
TREAT PROMPTS: Haunted crime scene! Haunted lab! Horatio has to deal with the ghosts of his various adventures. Horatio's dead family appears. Haunted gun. Halloween costumes! An explanation for why Horatio can stand in Miami sunlight despite being a natural redhead. I think he's some sort of 'daypire' (disclaimer: I'm working on a story right now that features that premise, if you see that later. But feel free to use that)
