Thank you for creating for me! If you have any questions, please check with the mods. I am a very easy recipient and will be delighted with whatever you write for me. I have no special requirements beyond what's specifically stated in my DNWs. I'm fine with all POVs (i.e., first, second, third), tenses, ratings, etc.
I would enjoy any art treats if any of my prompts inspire you visually.
My AO3 name is Edonohana.
I like food. A lot. For all of these prompts, I would enjoy descriptions of the food, whether it's delicious or enjoyed despite not being delicious or whether it's absolutely terrible. I also like hurt-comfort, action/adventure, domestic life, worldbuilding, evocative descriptions, camaraderie, loyalty, trauma recovery, learning to love again or trust again or enjoy life again, miniature things, and animals.
When a single character is listed as "So-and-So & None," it means I'd be happy with a solo story with them or one with them and ANY other character, including those I didn't prompt or characters not included in the tag set.
All requests are for either "sweet" or "sour." I am fine with any tone. I didn't request "spicy" for any because I'm not into food-as-sex-toy, but it's totally fine for stories to also include sex.
Except for Torchwood, I have requested all of these canons before. All prompts in previous exchanges are still valid and welcomed if you can do them so they match the theme of this exchange. You can find them by clicking on the "fic exchange letter" tag.
General DNW: Food used as a sex toy, detailed depictions of dental trauma or digestive upsets, current political figures, issuefic, real-life terminal illness like cancer, dementia and brain damage, A/B/O, PWP (porn without plot), unrequested change-the-setting AUs (canon divergence AUs are fine), non-canon human pregnancy and human babies or a heavy focus on canon human pregnancy or human babies (kittens, alien lizard babies, etc are fine), infantilization, extreme body horror, adult/child, literal coronavirus (other pandemics or other illnesses with similar symptoms are fine), and the gross kinds of bodily waste (blood, sweat, and tears are fine).
DNWs with exceptions: Death of characters who don't die in canon, except for some situations specific to Dark Tower, Sandman, and Marvel Comics. Cannibalism, except for the canon cannibalism in The Stand. On-page rape/noncon, except for Flagg being terrible in The Stand.
Dark Tower - Stephen King
Roland Deschain & Susannah Dean & Eddie Dean & Jake Chambers & Oy
Roland Deschain & None
Death of requested characters is fine for this fandom if they're in Mid-World now because they died somewhere else, or died previously but are now back, or anything along those lines.
One of my favorite bits of the whole series was Roland drinking Pepsi. I would be totally happy with 500 words of Roland eating a sandwich. In general, I would love to see more of him interacting with our-world food, whether he's back in our world or some has been transported to Mid-World.
I love the "other worlds than these" aspects. What if they ran into some of the Long Walk characters and gave them a good meal? Are there other just-off-enough-to-be-weird foods in the Nozz-a-La world that look similar to ours but taste very different?
More prompts: Mid-World sourdough starters are just as weird and terrifying as everything else in Mid-World. Mysterious Mid-World food cans. Mid-world holiday food. Arguing over the best way to cook an egg. Bringing Food to Sick/Hurt/Traumatized Person. Character gets a good meal for first time in ages. Camping Recipes. Showing Love through Food.
Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin
Ged & Vetch & Yarrow
Penthe & None
Penthe & Yarrow
Tenar & None
Ged & Tenar
Penthe & Tenar
There were so many lovely food scenes in the series, all of them so emblematic of character and culture: Tenar and Penthe sharing the apples, Ged showing Tenar how to eat a mussel, Yarrow and her harrekki and the cakes, the surprisingly solid food of Roke, the fish soup of the raft people. I'd like something like that, please.
I'd prefer a setting within the timeline of the first three books. Canon AUs are fine. (ie, if Tenar and Ged stayed together after fleeing Atuan, if Penthe left with them, etc.)
The Long Walk - Richard Bachman
Ray Garraty/Peter McVries
"Ray and Pete escape the Walk and get a decent meal" is a subgenre within this fandom, and one of which I never ever tire. Wild berries, mysterious unlabeled cans, lost military rations, a home cooked meal from a sympathetic civilian, incompetent yet satisfying foraging... the possibilities are endless.
More prompts: Character gets a good meal for first time in ages. Bringing Food to Sick/Hurt/Traumatized Person. Cooking with makeshift ingredients or equipment. These Food Cans Don't Have Any Labels So Dinner Will Be Whatever We Find When We Open Them. Showing Love through Food. Camping Recipes.
Non-explicit sex is fine for this canon.
The Punisher (TV 2017)

Just take your inspiration from all the S1 food-related scenes.
More prompts: These Food Cans Don't Have Any Labels So Dinner Will Be Whatever We Find When We Open Them, Bringing Food to Sick/Hurt/Traumatized Person, Character gets a good meal for first time in ages, Comfort Food, Comforting with home-cooked meal, Stress Baking, Camping Recipes, Cooking with makeshift ingredients, Showing Love through Food, Turkey Dinner.
Marvel Comics
Amara Aquila & the New Mutants
Illyana Rasputin & None
Illyana Rasputin & Rachel Summers
Rachel Summers & Kate Pryde
Rachel Summers & None
I'm mostly a fan of Chris Claremont era, but if you're a fan of another, I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out from context - that's what reading comics is all about. ;)
Rachel and Illyana were both thrust from radically different and awful worlds into ours. I always wished they'd interacted more. What's it like for them to try food they haven't had in years, or never had? While still in the Sentinel future, do Rachel and Kate do their best to make a birthday or holiday meal for each other from scavenged ingredients? Passover could be incredibly poignant, all things considered.
Does Illyana ever bring Limbo food back to the Mansion because she misses it, or try to recreate it in the X-Mansion kitchen to share it with the team (who make varyingly successful efforts to be polite about it?) Does Amara miss the food of Nova Roma, cook a feast in that style (possibly using magma to barbecue), or have someone try to comfort her by cooking Roman food for her?
References to Kate Pryde's canon death are fine. Other deaths are fine so long as they come back.

Original Works
If gender isn't stated in the pairings, any is fine.
Caterer for the Dead/Ghost Planning Dead Day Party
I would love a ton of nitty-gritty details about how you cater for the dead. And also about that party. And how ghosts enjoy food. It's fine if the road to a happy ending involves the caterer dying and becoming a ghost.
Avant-Garde Food Truck Chef/Rival Traditional Food Truck Chef
Just how long has this rivalry been going on? Is it friendly, or not so much? Do they compete over customers, parking space, reviews? Steal each other's ingredients?
Guerilla Vegetable Gardener/Confused Owner of Vacant Lot
Female Guerrilla Gardener/Female Pastry Chef
By stealth and dead of night, the guerrilla gardener strikes and... waters. Does the pastry chef depend on the gardener's unusual ingredients? Does the vacant lot owner set some traps before they figure out what's actually going on in their lot?
Female Post-Apocalyptic Diner Cook/Female Gunslinger
Post-Apocalyptic Food Truck Owner/Hungry Wasteland Traveler
Feel free to mix and match these. Basically I want some post-apocalyptic cooking and someone getting their first good meal in ages, or possibly ever. Do the cooks need protection from bandits or mutant animals? Do they have unusual ingredients, or unusual methods of obtaining their ingredients?
Kid at School & New Kid With Lunchbox of Magical Food
I just really want the details of the magical food. Is mundane food very exotic and desirable to the kid with the lunchbox? Or is the magical food their treasured taste of home?
The Sandman (Comics)
Death of the Endless & Dream of the Endless
Death of the Endless & None
Delirium of the Endless & Barnabas
Delirium of the Endless & None
Dream of the Endless | Morpheus & Delirium of the Endless
Dream of the Endless | Morpheus & None
Eblis O'Shaughnessy & None
I love the food scenes in Sandman - Delirium's raspberry-chocolate people, Destruction's bad cooking, Death's hot dog - and all the weird, surreal, lovely, or eerie possibilities of dream food and delirium (and Delirium) food. Original characters are totally fine. For Eblis O'Shaughnessy, what's his first meal like?
Death of original characters is fine so long as the story overall is bittersweet rather than outright depressing. Death dying in her human form is fine.
The Stand - Stephen King
Dayna Jurgens & None
Fran Goldsmith & None
Jenny Engstrom & None
Larry Underwood & None
Lloyd Henreid & None
Lucy Swann & None
Nadine Cross & None
Nick Andros & None
Randall Flagg & None
Stu Redman & None
I love the non-cannibalistic sort of post-apocalypse food tropes: scavenging for food, cooking from makeshift ingredients, the first strawberry of spring, comforting someone with food that it took an immense amount of effort to find or make or approximate.
Alternately, I'd love horrifying food-related Flagg experiences, like a Vegas state dinner. Should you feel so moved, I would be OK with sexual threats or outright noncon in that sort of context. I generally don't like cannibalism but Lloyd's canon cannibalism or Flagg using it to torment him in some way is fine, so long as the horror is more psychological than gross.
On-page rape/noncon is OK if it's Flagg doing it to a male character, and sexual creepiness that stops short of outright noncon is fine if it's Flagg doing it to anyone.
I always enjoy foreboding takes on the characters' pre-superflu lives.
More prompts: Bringing Food to Sick/Hurt/Traumatized Person, Character gets a good meal for first time in ages, Characters Keep Cultural Tradition Alive Through Cooking, Choking Down Terrible State Dinner, Holiday Food, Reconstructed Recipes, The Pot-Luck From Hell, These Food Cans Don't Have Any Labels So Dinner Will Be Whatever We Find When We Open Them.
Torchwood
Owen Harper & Toshiko Sato
I would like a story in which post-death Owen gets to eat and drink again, whether that's a permanent (if possibly limited in some respects) fix or a one-time-only deal or a temporary situation caused by handwavium, body swapping, etc. If permanent, please don't completely fix him being dead - maybe he gets back some sensory perception but not all of it, or sensory perception but not healing and blood flow, etc. I'd like to see him and Tosh share some vulnerability and joy, while still being their prickly, damaged selves.
I'd be happy to include the whole gang (& pterodactyl), but requested Owen & Tosh because that's the relationship I wanted most. Owen/Tosh is also good. In fact Any Character/Any Character is fine for this fandom. I guess except the pterodactyl.
True Detective
Rustin "Rust" Cohle/Martin "Marty" Hart
Basically I have two thoughts for these guys in terms of this exchange. 1) Someone needs to feed Rust something other than alcohol, in a situation which ends better than his disaster dinner with Marty's family. 2) I am finding it so hard to imagine Rust attempting to feed anyone anything other than alcohol that I now really want to see how that would work. Any time period is fine.
Optional prompts: Character is reluctant to eat because they are exhausted/in pain/traumatized/high and not in a good way. Comforted with non-homemade food because comforter can't cook. Technically awful attempt at comfort by food is actually very comforting.
I would enjoy any art treats if any of my prompts inspire you visually.
