what if Y/Z met because of a mail order bride service

Oh, hey, one of my prompts! Which is to say yeah, I totally do. I include a bunch of canon-compliant prompts with every request, but I also have a batch asking for AUs, what-ifs, or more off-the-wall stuff (suggestions for sex pollen causes in canons that definitely don't have any built in, "what if this were IN SPACE", etc).

This year, my author stuck pretty close to canon, with a missing scene that involved some character/backstory exploration - really well done, and also something I'd prompted for.

When I'm writing for someone else, I always try to stick to what they've actively opted into by mentioning it in their request. This year, I happened to end up writing for people who didn't prompt for those kinds of elements, so I didn't include them. And sometimes even when I do write for a request that includes unusual prompts, it's one of the others that caught my eye, so. Just depends on where the request overlaps with what I'm most interested in writing!
