2024 Pinch Hitter treats!

[rarepairmod]

We couldn't run our exchange without the help of our pinch hitters! If you're a pinch hitter who is not signed up to participate in our 2024 round who would like to put yourself forward for a gift, please drop yourself on this post with your requests!

You can peruse the tagset and select fandoms and pairings that have been accepted for this round.

You can also request fandoms/ships that were not nominated, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements. [ Edited 14 July EDT. ]

Treats for pinch hitters do not need to meet our minimum requirements, but need to be a completed gift. [ Edited 14 July EDT. ]

You can find our full guidelines in our rules post.

Prompts or links to letters (past or one specifically for RPE) are optional but can be a nice inspiration.

Please make sure to list any DNWs in your comment.

We have a suggested format on how to drop your request(s):

AO3 username:

Medium: (Art, fic, or both.)

Do Not Wants:
Prompts: (If you have any—we strongly recommend leaving a few prompts, whether they're word prompts or generic ideas you'd like.)

I didn't make it in time for sign ups, but if you're interested in offering a gift to a pinch hitter then this is my favourite pairing! Alas I am its only solider.

AO3 username: ErazonPO3
Fandom: Pokemon
Medium: Fic, Art
Ships: Diantha/Malva
Likes: Teasing & Banter, Repressed feelings, ‘Tough' characters in situations that make them vulnerable (physically and/or emotionally), Characters being flustered by their physical attraction to another, Intimate romantic gestures,Touch starvation
Do Not Wants: Pregnancy/children, Gender/Sex/Pronoun swaps, Unrequited romantic feelings between the requested pairing (side characters having unrequited feelings for someone in the main pairing is OK), Infidelity, Bad Endings, Character bashing, A heavy focus on characters or pairings not included in the request, Any unrequested fetishes in art
Prompts: For art, anything involving an Angel/Devil dynamic gets a big thumbs up! For writing, I love anything that involves flirty back and forth banter. The scenario could be a pre-Team Flare reveal, teasing out how much the other really knows, or a post-reveal that's thick with unresolved tension. Or anything, really! I'm open to off-the-wall AUs so long as it keeps that enemies-to-lovers sort of flavour.
Letter Link: I have a General Exchange Letter if you'd like to peruse for more details!
