The Gradence Trick or Treat Halloween Fest prompts are out! See the ‘Treat’ prompts under the cut (and read the claiming guidelines here):
Anonymous prompters submitted:
Prompt: Slutty halloween costumes = roleplay opportunity
Squicks: none
Max Rating: NC17
Claim number to submit: Treat 1 (1 claim)
Prompt: AU where one of the boys is a Halloween spirit/King of the pumpkin patch, and meets the other under creepy, Halloween-esque circumstances - in a mist-filled graveyard, an haunted house, some old forest. He may want to strike a bargain, or crave company (in any form you’d like), or simply decide to play a bit with this mortal - until they fall in love, of course.
Squicks: PWP
Maximum Rating: R
Claim number to submit: Treat 2 (2 claims)
Mod note: all spots for this prompt now filled! We won’t be accepting any further claims on this prompt. Thank-you. :)
Prompt: The magical world does Halloween in style (pumpkins, parties, costumes, etc), because what better way to blend in? Graves discovers that Credence has never experienced the holiday, so he whisks him away to the Graves country estate where his family comes together for the weekend to celebrate. Up to the author whether they bring Modesty with them or if she’s bonding with her new family elsewhere or any other option. The getting-together/confessing their feelings trope would be lovely, but pre-slash or established relationship is also great if the writer so decides.
Squicks: No prejudice or disapproval from the Graves family about Credence, please and thanks. No victim-blaming also. No enslaved house elves.
Maximum Rating: Anything is fine
Claim number to submit: Treat 3 (0 claims)
Prompt: Should Percival be Antony or Julius Caesar to Credence’s Cleopatra? Alternately, Credence is Antony.
Squick: none
Max Rating: M
Claim number to submit: Treat 4 (1 claim)
Prompt: Credence in a kitty costume. That’s it that’s the prompt
Squicks: Painplay, abuse within the pairing
Maximum Rating: NC-17
Claim number to submit: Treat 5 (0 claims)
Prompt: Modern AU. Credence takes Modesty trick or treating, and Mr. Graves’ house is the one with the full size candy bars. Credence comes back later after he takes Modesty home.
Squicks: no calling Graves “daddy”
Maximum Rating: Hard R.
Claim number to submit: Treat 6 (0 claims)
@accio-toffy​ submitted:
Prompt: On the midnight of October 30-31 the gate between all times opens. Ghosts pour out, skeletons come to life, witches dance under the moon and sometimes people stumble into wrong timelines. When Credence Barebone watches Halloween celebrations out of a small church window in 1920, he becomes a witness to appearance of a man in strange clothes and a glowing device in his hand, which he seems to be talking to.
They have one day to build trust, friendship and love; and when the clock strikes again at midnight of the Halloween eve, they must find a way for one to enter 2020 or another to stay in 1920.
(Magic can be preserved, tooth-rotting fluff, romance and even silliness is highly encouraged).
Squicks: Please no angst (or minor), no explicit child abuse, no daddy kink, no mpreg, no underage. If you are writing explicit, please no actual penetration (aka no anal).
Maximum Rating: anything from Teen to Explicit works just fine
Claim number to submit: Treat 7 (0 claims)
@chryselephantinechaos submitted:
Modern AU, w magic—Percival doesn’t care about Halloween, but this is Credence’s first Halloween, so he invites him over to watch movies, eat way too much candy to find out what Credence likes, and hide from trick-or-treaters. Percival goes All Out with decorating, and even rents a ghost for the day.
Squicks: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Max Rating: absolutely anything
Claim number to submit: Treat 8 (1 claim)
@clockhearted-crocodile submitted:
Prompt: Credence has never been allowed to take part in Halloween before (a pagan festival *gasp*) so living with Mr. Graves is the first time he’s experienced Halloween, and not just Halloween but WIZARDING Halloween.
Squicks: Not really any.
Maximum Rating: Any rating’s good.
Claim number to submit: Treat 9 (0 claims)
Prompt: It’s MACUSA’s annual Halloween ball. All these government officials get to dress up as whatever they really want to be, just for a night; there some pirates there, a few angels, even a couple of convincingly imitated no-maj celebrities. But Credence arrives dressed in the uniform of a junior Auror, and Percival feels a sudden conflict between wanting Credence to stay safe and out of the ranks, and really liking the idea of Credence working under him (in more ways than one …)
Squicks: Nothing to speak of.
Maximum Rating: Any rating.
Claim number to submit: Treat 10 (0 claims)
@meremeduse​ submitted:
Prompt: Credence takes his little sister trick-or-treating and she insists on going to the scariest house/apartment/whatever in the area — which everyone knows is haunted and satanists sacrificed a baby there thirty years ago or whatever. He doesn’t want to refuse her, so he knocks on the door… And it opens to Percival Graves.
Squicks: No bodily fluids, unless it’s like… spit. Keep it cute!
Maximum Rating: PG-13, maybe a soft R
Claim number to submit: Treat 11 (1 claim)
@nettlekettle​ submitted:
Prompt: Credence has a long-term crush on Graves which he believes is unrequited (spoiler, it’s not!). On Hallowe'en night, Credence and Queenie (and others if you like!) play lots of traditional divination games (if you google there are lots of historical games such as peeling apples and divining your true love from the shape of the peel - or just poke me and I’ll send some links!). Every single game they play gives one result - Graves is Credence’s true love / future husband. Graves himself confirms that the games aren’t wrong!
Squicks: Credence under 21 years of age, self-harm, any mentions of hanging, mpreg or ABO.
Maximum Rating: G to Mature? So nothing NC-17. :)
Claim number to submit: Treat 12 (2 claims)
Mod note: we now have two claims for fic for this prompt. One more claim for another medium will be accepted, but no more fic claims will be allowed. Thank-you!
Prompt: Lantern carving! Pie baking!
I thought I’d submit something simple and visual which might be fun for both artists and writers, so - Credence carving a pumpkin! If you like, he could bake the pumpkin guts into a delicious pie (perhaps with help from Queenie and/or Jacob)! :)
Squicks: Hmm. Anyone eating raw pumpkin? That seems inadvisable! :P
Maximum Rating: G.
Claim number to submit: Treat 13 (1 claim)
Prompt: “Witches and devils are abroad this night!!!”
Set prior to the events of the film, Credence is still stuck with the Second Salemers, but has developed a bond with real!Graves (your choice of what stage the relationship is at). On Hallowe'en night, Mary Lou is shouting and shouting about how “witches and devils are abroad on Hallow’s Eve!” and how they must all stay in the church praying. Credence is scared to go outside but also terribly excited to sneak out and join Mr Graves, who takes him to see all the joys of the holiday (perhaps all the big Hallowe'en window displays!)
Squicks: Credence under age 19/20ish, anything resembling non-con, suicide (enacted or mentioned), hanging or hangman’s nooses, self-harm, sexual abuse, unexpected use of sex-toys (!)
Maximum Rating: G to NC-17.
Claim number to submit: Treat 14 (0 claims)
@shamelessstudentsdream​ submitted:
Prompt: Coffee Shop AU (maybe Credence working for Jacob? Percival healing and trying something a tad less stressful for a time?). Cutesy Halloween atmosphere. Golden leaves, oversized sweaters, carved pumpkins and all that jazz.
Squicks: PWP
Maximum Rating: M
Claim number to submit: Treat 15 (2 claims)
@soughs​ submitted:
Prompt: Setting up to writer. Percival hates Halloween with all of his grumpy heart. The children are too loud and he can’t enjoy his evening in peace. When someone knocks on his door - knocks, not ring - despite the clear “no candies” sign, he’s pissed off. Little does he know that the young man in front of his house is no lost tourist but a leannán sí determined to find a human lover to run away from the fairy kingdom - only a kiss of love can keep Credence on earth.
Squicks: I’d prefer a happy ending.
Maximum Rating: NC-17/Explicit

Dreary — 
Tumblr media
The night was dreary, and upon a fallen watch tower, a gray Yak stood. Overlooking the vast ruins of the cryptic relic. The sickly light from the moon cast a foreshadowing effect. His towering Physique engulfing the ground below in darkness. The wind brushed against his light fur; and pulled his hair with it.  Gentle flakes of snow fluttered to the ground decorating Kai’s mane with specs of white. 
The path here was treacherous. This region of the spirit realm was so bleak. There was a sadness in the gray crags. The heavy scent of rot filled his flared nostrils only to return to the chilling breeze as fog. He examined the horse with an apathetic gaze. He began to wonder if his adversary below was even alive.
The enemy lie still below. Black matted fur heavily armored with dark steel & bone. A helmet masked his forehead and extended down his snout. At least this was something new.
Along the way;  Kai has seen charred bodies, rotting corpses, mounds of Angel whisp mold veiling the undead. It made him wonder.. was death not nullified here? Though this land was dark, it wasn’t enough to break Kai. For many had fallen on the blades of this land’s people. They’d left him with a bitter taste upon his tongue.  It was impressive that his enemy managed to destroy his own kingdom. To fall so far as to corrupt himself; — it was quite sad, really. and It reminded Kai of why he fought to begin with.  
The yak was searching for a rematch. But it seemed as if fate has taken his opposer..
Until he caught a flicker of movement, and heard labored breaths from below. Jets of mist came from the war horses nostrils and pushed the dust off the cold, hard cobble stone ground.
The horse was coiled on its belly with his arms resting over a great sword. Like a guard dog sleeping on a bone. How foolish of him to rest in a place like this. And convenient. Kai reached for one of his jade swords and grasped it tightly around the handle. Two jade eyes gleaming down at the hilt. A curtsy it was, to ambush the vile monster below. Kai took a few silent steps back before charging and leaping off the edge to take the plunge. To drive his blade into the horse’s skull.
Chains clanked piercingly as Kai fell with his sword ready, and just as he thought it was over, two shrewd red eyes opened. The beast was never asleep. And so the horse swiftly rolled to the side. His thick callused hoof on the handle of his great sword; dragging it back against the stone floor. A flash of jade slicing through what white parts of his mane that flowed just behind his neck. Just as Kai crumbled the stone below him. Causing a sizable crater and quaking the earth below. 
A white fuzzy muzzle and black cheeks were all kai could see of this creature. . The rest of this undead deity was covered in steel forged by ancient Nordic flame. Well ... this fight would be interesting.
Though the horse could see Kai clearly, a spirit warrior bearing supernatural horns; a leather helmet, loincloth with chain & a nice collection of jade stones decorating his waist. A fearsome sight to behold, for the man was driven by power.
When the horse spoke it was with an aged and raspy voice. As he stood with his weapon resting in one hand, open & hunched over; revealing just how tall and lanky he was.
“ A foolish undead, you are;; to traverse here willingly to this unpleasant place… I know not anyone of your ilk. So there is no reason for you to be here.. There is nothing left here for you to take.. So do tell me;; for I so itch to know;; what drives a man to come here? ”
& this struck a nerve. The foolish horse seemed to have  forgotten him.. well maybe it was time for some enlightenment. Perhaps a sword slicing his elegant throat would jog his memory. But patience.. Kai wanted to bask in every moment he could exchange with this man. He has hungered for this interaction for quite some time. & Now he wished to repay his debts. 
Kai rested his his sword wielding hand on the top of his shoulder & shifted his feet to change his posture. Cocking his head back;; both a sign of confidence & to face the taller being.
“ W-e-heh-heh-ll;; It seems age has not done us all right — old fool. ”
He rose the jade blade to point at the horse, brows sharpening & teeth bared.
“ You caused the attack that day;; you lead the army that took the lives of my men- upon that ice capped rock of yours! ”
He spoke through gritted teeth that so hunger to bite. To rip the very flesh of this horse from his bones.
& the horse straightened his poise;; eyes widening at the yak.
“ General kai.. ”
When he spoke it was with horror that the bull had taken the liberty of traveling here for him . Smoke puffed from the horse’s nose. He rose his chin and bellowed,
" You have faced your fate then;; I have no sympathy for a coward that runs from a fight!! If you truly wish to spill blood on this night then so be it! But it will be your blood that will be spilt by my blade & paint my kingdom!! "
Kai clenched his jaw & hissed.
" Hoh-no; not again. I may have ran from our fight years ago;; But I am here now”
Kai opened his arms with a crooked smirk;; narrowing his eyes.
“ And I don’t plan on running anywhere- in fact..  I plan on adding you to my collection. “ 
  a rugged hoof ran over the many jade stones on his belt, taunting the horse.
The Clydesdale scowled. A challenger had finally risen. But the man was tired of fighting. For after what he has done here, he yearned for eternal rest. But he was cursed with immortality; no one can truly die here. Not in this realm. Spirits & gods alike fall only to rise again. 
The horse didn’t wish to fight.. what would he be fighting for?
But kai hungered for this battle.  It was his enemy’s fault he ended up in this devoid land. Were it not for this lords ambush those many years ago, Kai would have never came upon that forsaken village. He would have never broken his friendship. & he would have never been banished here.
Finally, The fallen war horse spoke in his damaged voice;
“ Very well then;; General Kai, beast of vengeance && maker of widows. I, Kungju the Magnificent, accept your challenge.  “
& The war horse raised his bandaged sword to the sky;; sliding his hoof up the blade to ignite the sword in dark flames. 
Kai rose his eyebrows,  it looks as tho Kungju has acquired a new weapon.
Was it possible that he developed a new fighting style? But again — so had Kai.
