Past Imperfect 2019 letter
Dear writer,
First of all, thank you! I hope this letter is helpful to you, even if each section is on the short side. For this exchange, I've chosen additional tags that more or less work as prompts on their own, so there isn't a lot more to say about my requests. If you choose to simply take the tag we matched on and run with it, I'll be perfectly happy!

laurus_nobilis.
DNWs: Explicit violence, non-con/dub-con, incest, fic that is much darker than the source material, AUs that majorly change the canon characterizations, unrequested ships, character bashing.
Something that's relevant to all my requests: as long as the character or group we matched on is the main focus, feel free to include any other characters in the fic.
Gravity Falls
Characters: Group: Mabel Pines & Dipper Pines; Group: Mabel Pines & Dipper Pines & Grunkle Stan; Ford Pines
Additional tags: Character Receives Letters from Their Future Self; Character Accidentally Undoes An Important Historical Event; Character Travels Back to When They Were Still a Massive Jackass; Ominous Message from the Future; Time Loop/Groundhog Day - Escape By Incredibly Absurd Means; Time Travel Fix-It - Time Traveler Fixes Things By Accident
Some of my favorite things about Gravity Falls are the relationships between the characters, and how it's not afraid of getting into absurd and ridiculous plots. Feel free to go as silly as you like!
The Transformers (Cartoon Generation One)
Characters: Group: Starscream/Skyfire
Additional tags: Character meets a younger version of their love interest; Future Character Can't Tell Past Character Their Fate; Ominous Message from the Future; Time Loop/Groundhog Day - Groundhog Peggy Sue
I love the relationship between these two and time travel opens up a lot of fun possibilities to make them deal with their issues. I don't mind which character is from the future and which from the past, or which one gets stuck in a time loop - either choice can be really interesting.
Doctor Who(2005)
Characters: Group: Clara Oswald & Ashildr|Lady Me; Group: Eleventh Doctor & Amy Pond/Rory Williams; Group: Twelfth Doctor & Clara Oswald; Bill Potts; Clara Oswin Oswald
Additional tags: Bureaucracy in a Time Travel Institution; Communicating Across Time; Going to see dinosaurs; Sightseeing in Another Time Period; Time Travel Fix-It - Time Traveler Fixes Things By Accident
These are all tropes I love and I feel fit really well with Who. I'd love any character/group doing any of those things! (If we matched on "Communicating Across Time" and a single character, not a group, feel free to use an OC/historical figure/whatever strikes your fancy.)
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Characters: Group: Julian Bashir/Elim Garak (ST: DS9)
Additional tags: Character Travels Back to When They Were Still a Massive Jackass; Doorway Between Specific Points In Time; Insight from Time Travel Changes Character's Outlook; Multiple Travelers - Accidentally Get In Each Other’s Way While Trying To Achieve The Same Goal
Same as with Doctor Who, the tags work as prompts on their own. Either getting together fic or an established relationship is fine! Mostly I'd like to see them working together and bantering their way through time nonsense.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Characters: Data (ST: TNG); Guinan (ST: TNG); Q (ST: TNG)
Additional tags: Character Time Travels When They Sleep; Giving Advice to Past Version of Yourself; Doorway Between Specific Points In Time; Multiple Travelers - Accidentally Get In Each Other’s Way While Trying To Achieve The Same Goal; Time Loop/Groundhog Day - Escape By Incredibly Absurd Means
Here, too, I chose tags that fit the feel of the show and might make for a fun "missing episode" type of fic. Feel free to also include any other character you might need! I picked my favorite ones to be the focus of the fic, but I genuinely love everyone in TNG.
Star Trek: Discovery
Characters: Group: Michael Burnham & Spock (ST: Discovery); Group: Paul Stamets/Hugh Culber (ST: Discovery); Michael Burnham (ST: Discovery); Saru (ST: Discovery); Sylvia Tilly (ST: Discovery)
Additional tags: Character Time Travels When They Sleep; Communicating Across Time; Giving Advice to Past Version of Yourself; Rescue Team for Those Stranded in Time
A few tags in the set seemed tailored for ST:DISCO, so here they are! As usual with Star Trek, I love all these characters a lot, so I'll be glad to see any of them deal with time adventures.
Dragon Age
Characters: Dorian Pavus (DA); Group: Cremisius "Krem" Aclassi & Iron Bull (DA); Group: Iron Bull/Dorian Pavus (DA); Group: Varric Tethras & Cassandra Pentaghast (DA)
Additional tags: Character From Future Tries To Convince Current Enemy They Will Be Friends/Allies In Future; Character meets a younger version of their love interest; Character Travels Back to When They Were Still a Massive Jackass; Giving Advice to Past Version of Yourself; Multiple Travelers - Accidentally Get In Each Other’s Way While Trying To Achieve The Same Goal; Time Loop/Groundhog Day - Both Characters Stuck in Loop; Time Loop/Groundhog Day - Escape By Incredibly Absurd Means; Time Travel Fix-it - Time Travelers Disagree On How To Fix The Problem
So many interesting tags that fit this fandom! For these prompts, I'd love to see competent characters working together, whether they get along or not. The potential clashes between Bull and Dorian or Bull and Krem if they're from different points in time are also a really interesting possibility.
Crossover Fandom
Characters: Group: Bucky Barnes (MCU) & Donna Noble (Doctor Who); Group: Bucky Barnes (MCU)/Clara Oswald (Doctor Who)
Additional tags: Accidental Time Travel - Character tempted to alter events while stuck in the past; Communicating Across Time; Doorway Between Specific Points In Time; Repeated Intersections Between the Same People Through Time Travel
Bucky & Donna are such a fun, interesting match of characters and I just can't get tired of reading about them. They have a lot in common and it's always great to see them bond through adventures and time shenanigans.
As for Bucky/Clara, it's been a crackship of mine since I realized Bucky's date in TFA was Jenna Coleman, heh. There are plenty of ways that could go: maybe she was one of Clara's echoes, maybe she was Clara herself time travelling, maybe it was just a cosmic coincidence. Any way you want to spin it is good! All I want to see is these two having time travel adventures and eventually getting together.
