daggerdapper's Battleship 2024

Table of Contents

Hi! I'm daggerdapper, and this is my exchange letter for Battleship 2024. (It's also sort of just a place for me to collect and sort out the things I'm intending to request, whether as a prompt or in the official sign-up, LOL.)

This Letter is basically just for prompts (because it's already getting long and nominations haven't even ended yet, so I might add even more!); I have a more catch-all Exchange Letter that goes into more of my general likes and so on; things like settings, characters, smut, etc. That said; If you have something in mind you want to write for me that I don’t go over anywhere, absolutely go for it! I would delight in whatever you think is fun to write; no need to try to squeeze yourself into my box. The prompts you might find in this letter are entirely optional; it's just if you'd like them.

There are a couple of Dudebro pairings I intend to request. I just think it would be funny, LOL. Like the contrast between this dudebro and a proper (terrifying, sneaky, scheming) fae king, or an alien, etc. This could be very 'crack taken seriously', maybe hurt/comfort, domesticity, accidental relationship, etc. Lots of way these could go! I'm excited about all of them :D (This section is here because there, sadly, is not a dudebro section. 'Tis the height of blasphemy.)

Aliens

  • Alien Overlord/Sacrifice (M/M OW)
  • Dudebro Human/Alien Mail-Order Spouse (OW M/M)
  • Human Man Who Just Moved Off Earth/His New Male Alien Neighbour With Tentacles (OW)
  • Male Human Explorer on a Strange Alien World/Sentient Eldritch Alien Architecture (M/Other OW)
  • Scheming Alien Diplomat/Human Mail-Order Spouse for Diplomacy (OW M/M)
  • Male Leader Of A Conquering Alien Race/Young Man Chosen To Be His Mate (OW)

I'm on an alien romance kick right now, so I would love any of these! :D Especially with worldbuilding, language barriers, alien biology and culture, accidental courtship, xeno genitalia, dubcon, etc. Fluff, angst, crack treated seriously, horror; it's all good.

Space

  • Crashed Space Explorer/Lord on Pre-Industrial World (OW)
  • Deep Space Cargo Hauler/Hitchhiker (M/M OW)
  • Hardened Stowaway on large spaceship/Equally hardened captain who grows a soft spot for them (OW)

Same feels as with aliens.

Monsters & Eldritch

  • Terrifying Monster with a Heart of Gold/Human Mail-Order Spouse (OW M/M)
  • Male Human Explorer on a Strange Alien World/Sentient Eldritch Alien Architecture (OW)

I'm always down for some monsterfucking! :D

Rulers

  • Virginal King/His Experienced New Husband Who Must Publicly Consummate the Marriage (OW M/M)
  • Aloof Emperor/Charming Courtesan Wanting a Big Payday (M/M - OW)
  • Emperor/Defeated Warlord (OW)
  • Intergalactic Emperor/Scheming Courtier (M/M OW)
  • Very Competent Court Tutor/The Emperor's Bodyguard & Child Emperor (M/M - OW)
  • Conquering Elf Warlord/Conquered Orc War Prize (OW M/M)
  • Fae King/Dudebro Human (M/M OW)

With these, I was thinking things like power dynamins/imbalance, dubcon/noncon, mutual manipulation, etc.

Mob

  • Mob Boss/Devoted Right Hand (OW M/M)
  • Mob Boss/Loyal Right Hand Person (OW)
  • Mob Boss/Rival Mob Boss (OW M/M)
  • Mob Boss/Rival's Right Hand Man Reluctantly Working for Him (OW M/M)

Reluctantly falling into bed together? Power dynamics/imbalance? Maybe some dubcon, some blackmail, manipulation?

Dragons & Gods

  • Dragon Shifter/Virgin Sacrifice (OW)
  • Dragon/Human sacrificed to dragon (OW)
  • Lonely Dragon/Librarian Hired to Take Care of Their Book Hoard (M/M OW)
  • Prim and Proper Dragon/Human Mail-Order Spouse (OW M/M)
  • Volcano God/Dragon Living in Volcano (OW)
  • Forgotten God/Human Who Resurrected Them (OW)

Modern

  • Dudebro/Fellow Dudebro In Increasingly Hardcore Game Of Gay Chicken (OW M/M)
  • Assassin/Rival Assassin/Long-Suffering Murder Cleanup Guy (M/M/M OW)
  • Bully/His Favorite Victim (OW M/M)
  • Bank Robber(s)/Hostage (M/M OW)
  • Fratbro/Rival Fratbro (M/M OW)
  • Murderer Obsessed With Escaped Victim/Escaped Victim Obsessed With Murderer (M/M OW)
  • Spy/Enemy Spy (OW M/M)

These don't actually have to be modern, I was just trying to find some way to categorize them. For example the bank robbers could be cowboys in the wild west, the bully/victim could be in a dark academia romance kind of thing, the spies could be dragons, the assassins could be fae playing by fae rules. But they would also work well in modern-ish times!

Fantastical/Historical

  • Man/Demon Possessing Him (M/M OW)
  • Bandit(s)/Knight (M/M OW)
  • Noir Detective/Homme Fatale (M/M)
  • Male Noir Detective/Femme Fatale’s Husband (OW)
  • Omega Warlord/Alpha War Prize (M/M) (OW)
  • Politically inconvenient politician/same-sex spouse awarded to them by the emperor (M/M) (OW)
  • Nobleman/His Male Childhood Friend Who Returns Disabled From the War (M/M) (OW)

Androids

  • Malfunctioning Combat Android/Robotics Engineer (OW M/M)
  • Malfunctioning Combat Android/Soldier Trying to Keep Them Both Alive (OW M/M)
  • Rogue Combat Android/Space Station Security Officer (OW M/M)
  • Terrifying Combat Android/His Human Friend (OW M/M)
  • Terrifying Android/Dudebro Human (M/M OW)
