Crueltide 2024
Not every story is pleasant. Not every story has a happy ending, and not all happy endings come without a dark and painful journey. And sometimes, those are the kinds of stories that we really, really want to read.
If you're one of the many people interested in either writing or receiving darkfic or horror, then Crueltide is here for you!
The short version
The long version is beneath the cut (actually a details cut, but close enough.)
Because darkfic isn't to everyone's taste. By making it easier to identify darkfic prompts and people open to receiving darkfic in yuletide, we can all indulge our preferences without placing undue pressure on our assigned writers or risking gifting unwelcome fics to our recipients. (And also: the name was the least cutesy of those being thrown around in 2014.)
What is darkfic?
Depends on your definition. But here's a (non-exhaustive) list of darker tropes to get you started:
(White text used as some content may be triggering to some - highlight to read.)
Addiction - Amputation - Animal Abuse - Apocalypse - Betrayal - Body Horror - Brainwashing - Cannibalism - Character Death - Child Abuse - Claustrophobia - Conspiracy - Degradation - Disease - Dystopia - Gaslighting - Hauntings - Humiliation - Hypothermia - Insanity - Invasion of Privacy - Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors - Medical Experimentation - Mind Control - Monsters - Murder - Mutilation - Non-Con - Paranoia - Poisoning - Prison - PTSD - Sadism - Slavery - Suicide - Torture - Unhappy Endings - Violence
Does a darkfic story have to have an unhappy ending/some other specific trope?
No! Not at all. Just because a story is packed with darkfic tropes doesn't mean there's no light at the end of the tunnel. Also, just because you like one trope, it doesn't mean you like all of them. Feel free to specify your do-not-wants alongside your wants.
Great, how does it work?
-- If you end up writing a darkfic story, just tag it with Crueltide when you upload it to the collection, and that'll help readers find more of what they like. It would also be good to tag any particular tropes you've used, to help readers find/avoid them. That's all you need to do! If your recip requested dark or horror fic but didn't comment on this post, you can still tag it with Crueltide if it fits the theme! The Crueltide tag helps all of us darkfic and horror readers find more things to read. :)
-- If you would like to receive a darkfic story in one of the fandoms you've requested in your yuletide sign-up, you can advertise that here by replying to this post. (The template below is merely a suggestion of what to include - the level of detail in prompts/tropes is entirely up to you. But please do limit yourself to fandoms on your Yuletide sign-up - the Yuletide mods need to be sure you get a fic in one of those, and a treat in an unexpected fandom could make that awkward. )

Fandom 1: Candela Obscura

Wanted tropes: Apocalypse, betrayal, body horror, brainwashing, conspiracy, disease, dystopia, hauntings, insanity, lovecraftian cosmic horrors, medical experimentation, mind control, monsters, murder, paranoia, torture, unhappy endings, violence.
Unwanted tropes: This canon is pretty much Trigger Warnings The Games, and I’ve chosen to request it, so I won’t be upset if you include awful things that actually happen in canon, _even if_ those things appear on my over all DNW-list. Though I’d be happy if you avoided focusing the story on/writing in detail about the follow canon or canon-ish things: animal abuse that leads to animal death, bestiality (but I'm okay with xenophilia), people under 18 in explicit sexual situations, vore, watersports & scat. My DNWs that to my knowledge don’t appear in canon: A/B/O, age regression, amnesia.

Happy Endings Preferred?: Yes
Wanted tropes: Betrayal, brainwashing, consent issues (not just in sexual situations but in people being made to do things they'd rather not in general), conspiracy, gaslighting, hauntings (maybe Alvis coming back to haunt someone?), kidnappings, loss of faith, lovecraftian cosmic horrors, medical experimentation, mind control, murder, paranoia, PTSD, sadism, torture, violence.
Unwanted tropes: A/B/O, age regression, non-canon amnesia, animal abuse that leads to animal death (I'm fine with implied animal death & animals being rescued from abuse), bestiality (but I'm okay with xenophilia), death of characters who aren't dead by the end of canon, people under 18 in explicit sexual situations, vore, watersports & scat.
Fandom 4: Rook & Rose - M. A. Carrick
Happy Endings Preferred?: Yes
Wanted tropes: Betrayal, brainwashing, consent issues (not just in sexual situations but in people being made to do things they'd rather not in general), conspiracy, degradation, disease (more in the sense of exploring Derossi Vargo's terror of disease and less so in that I want characters to actually get sick), humiliation, invasion of privacy, kidnappings, lovecraftian cosmic horrors, mind control, murder, non-con, poisoning, sadism, torture, violence.
Unwanted tropes: A/B/O, age regression, non-canon amnesia, animal abuse that leads to animal death, bestiality (but I'm okay with xenophilia), people under 18 in explicit sexual situations, permanent death of characters who survive to the end of canon, vore, watersports & scat.

Fandoms: (all of these are sci-fi horror canons)
Scavengers Reign (Cartoon) (promo)
The Employees - Olga Ravn (promo)
There Is No Antimemetics Division - qntm (promo)
Wanted tropes: altered mental states/perception, amnesia/brainwashing/memory alteration, “came back wrong”, canon-typical violence/gore, extreme codependency, generational trauma, grief, horror (body horror, psychological horror, eldritch horror - all the horror!), hurt/comfort, hypothermia, induced fear, manipulation, mental breakdown, monsters, overdose / withdrawal, the power exchange created by long-term caretaking, PTSD / trauma recovery, self-sacrifice, sensory overload / deprivation, serious illness, the subtle building realization that something is terribly wrong, temporary traumatic brain injury, tragedy, unhealthy coping mechanisms, unhealthy / messy / toxic relationships, unreliable narrators, war, whump

Fandoms: Silent Hill 4 (Henry Townshend, Eileen Galvin)
Happy Endings Preferred?: yes (for the requested characters)
Wanted tropes: Canon already contains monsters, murder, mind control, ghosts, and imprisonment, so definitely any of that. Post-game fic has plenty of room for PTSD and mental illness.
Unwanted tropes: explicit scenes of physical abuse of a child (references to children who die in canon are fine), non-con, removal of body parts, abuse of domestic animals (Silent Hill monsters don't count), medical experimentation, incest, bestiality.
Possible Prompts: Henry and Eileen are stuck in the Water Prison, Henry and Eileen try to recover from their tormented lives post "good ending", Henry and Eileen are trapped with ghosts or monsters, canon divergence where Eileen is the one stuck in her apartment.
Please note: This is the only fandom I'm requesting darkfic for this year.

Unwanted prompts: Mind break/corruption kink/sex slave, sexualised age regression, being guilt-tripped/coerced into sex, rape/noncon (rape recovery fine!), scat, sounding, vore, inflation, CBT, body worship (tbh if its [body part/article of clothing]-worship...no), loyalty kink, chastity devices, underage(17+ ok).

Fandoms: The Saint of Steel, Their Majesties' Pleasure, Wylde Flowers, Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem, A Sorceress Comes to Call
The Saint of Steel
I requested a character who might be a traitor in a fairly dark canon, so this one's high on my list.
Happy Endings Preferred?: bittersweet
Wanted tropes: betrayal, deception, espionage, demonic possession, murder, depression, grief, violence, war, emotional manipulation, gaslighting
Unwanted tropes: noncon/dubcon, reproductive violence, gore, stalking, underage
Their Majesties' Pleasure
Canon is fairly idealistic, but I prompted both light- and darkfic. I have a specific hankering for darkfic in this fandom.
Happy Endings Preferred?: bittersweet
Wanted tropes: betrayal, jealousy, rebellion, broken friendship/romance, murder, organized crime, war, social outcast, trauma and PTSD, major character death
Unwanted tropes: noncon/dubcon, incest, underage, stalking, domestic/intimate violence
Wylde Flowers
Canon is fairly light, but the characters I requested have some dark stuff in their backstory.
Happy Endings Preferred?: bittersweet
Wanted tropes: grief/bereavement, displacement, alienation
Unwanted tropes: noncon/dubcon, underage, incest, suicide
Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem
I requested characters from the rebel faction, which has a lot of potential for darkfic. I also prompted one specific dark pairing, and a scenario in one of the game's "darker" endings.
Happy Endings Preferred?: bittersweet
Wanted tropes: war, rebellion, post-trauma, toxic relationships, sacrifice, social isolation, regret, tough choices with no right answer
Unwanted tropes: noncon/dubcon, forced pregnancy, underage, non-canonical major character death, "both sides are basically the same"
A Sorceress Comes to Call
Canon is fairly dark, and my letter has one specific prompt from the POV of an unsympathetic antagonist.
Happy Endings Preferred?: bittersweet
Wanted tropes: death, murder, betrayal, rage, dehumanization, captivity, PTSD, misanthropy, broken friendships, gaslighting
Unwanted tropes: noncon/dubcon, incest, underage, villain winning A/U

Fandom: Dial M for Murder (1954) - Margot Wendice
Happy Endings Preferred?: Yes, though feel free to have it be bittersweet
Wanted tropes: Betrayal, Disease, Gaslighting, Humiliation, Prison, PTSD, past rape/sexual assault in a specific situation
Unwanted tropes: Body horror, amputation, animal abuse, cannibalism, character death, dystopia, Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors, medical experimentation, monsters, sadism, slavery, suicide, torture, unhappy endings
In Dial M for Murder, poor Margot goes through so much—nearly murdered, then framed for defending herself and sentenced to death while being humiliated with her and Mark's affair going public, and THEN finding out her husband was behind all of it. I'd love anything that either went into her time during the trial and how scarring it was, OR her time in prison as a "fallen woman" in a case as public as hers—how do the male guards treat her? What if she got sick and was denied decent medical care? And even anything post movie, when she definitely has undiagnosed post traumatic stress disorder and how it affects her relationship with Mark. I've personally toyed with the idea she was sexually assaulted by a guard in prison, so if you'd want to explore that, feel free (bonus points if she got pregnant from it). All I ask is you let her live, and if it's post canon at least somewhat on a path to healing at the end.

Happy Endings Preferred?: Yes
Wanted tropes: Apocalypse, Child Abuse, Claustrophobia, Dystopia, Hypothermia, Noncon, PTSD, Slavery
Unwanted tropes: (from the list) Amputation, Animal Abuse, Body Horror, Cannibalism, Character Death, Degradation, Hauntings, Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors, Monsters, Mutilation, Sadism, Suicide, Unhappy Endings
I'm OK with character death of minor characters but definitely NOT my requested ones! I'm a huge hurt/comfort fan so if the dark themes serve to cause the hurt that means one character needs comforting from the other one, I'll be delighted.

Fandoms: But I'm A Cat Person, Leif & Thorn, Ghost Trick, Pokemon Horizons
Happy Endings Preferred?: Yes, absolutely. (Bittersweet or hopeful are okay, as are endings that hint at/lead into tragic events in canon. I’m also okay with endings like… “things look sad now, but based on how things turn out in canon we know the characters will turn out okay”).
Wanted tropes: Illness, torture, manipulation, trauma, PTSD, hospitalization, canon injuries being worse than shown/implied, injury in general, depression, anxiety, other mental health issues, suicide attempt, rape recovery, recovery in general, hospitalization, self-harm, omegaverse, angsty sex, BDSM, bondage, hypothermia/frostbite, addiction, grief/mourning of canon deaths, kidnapping, brainwashing, temporary amnesia, whump, angst, hurt/comfort, psychological horror, creepy vibes
Unwanted tropes: Eye or tooth injuries, on-page non/dub-con (dubcon of the sex pollen/fuck-or-die/other sf/f thing variety is okay), on-page incest or adult/minor relationships (mentions are okay), cheating/infidelity, requested/prompted ships breaking up or being abusive, gore/injury described in greater detail than is typical in canon, cannibalism/flesh-eating whatevers, Non canon permanent character death, sex injuries more severe than bruising/hickeys, breath play, on-page sex involving characters under 18 (mentions/references are okay. If they're 16 or 17 in canon I'm also okay with a timeskip/age-up to when they're of age). For Pokemon specifically, no explicit sex
(I have more DNWs in my letter, but these are the ones that I think are most relevant for darkfic)
In general, I tend to like darkfic/whump where characters go through A Lot, and then are rescued/comforted by their loved ones

Fandoms: Asteroid City 2023 (Conrad Earp); George Smiley novels - Le Carre (Dieter Frey, George Smiley); Hannibal Lecter tetralogy - Harris (Will Graham); Strange Angels - Koja (Robin Tobias); Edward Edward - Lolah Burford (Edward Clare Armstrong)
Happy Endings Preferred?: No preference.
Wanted tropes: Ghosts and hauntings; claustrophobia; captivity; body horror; gothic horror; trauma and PTSD; manipulation; surviving terrible stuff and being changed by it; major character death; murder; consent issues and noncon; psychological horror; disturbingly intense interpersonal relationships; trauma bonding; survivor guilt; big spooky decaying houses with lots of creepy rooms; characters coming back from the dead “wrong”; vampires; power imbalances; haunted art; hauntology and the perseverance of historical wrongs into the characters' own present-day.
Unwanted darkfic tropes: noncon resulting in uncomplicated true love or the victim secretly wanting it all along; focus on pregnancy; noncanonical self-harm cutting or scratching; disordered eating; unrequested incest; unrequested CSA themes; explicit sex involving characters under 16; focus on modern-day circa-2024 right-wing extremism/ongoing atrocities.
I'm requesting one honest-to-goodness gothic novel this year (Edward, Edward is equal parts 20th century paperback Gothic and full-blast 18th century bonkers, full of philosophical struggles and incest) and one standalone horror novel (Strange Angels explores obsession, ableism, haunted art and artists, and unreliable narrators with a little lite body horror and the potential for some real mind-melting dip into what lies beyond or maybe above human experience) but darkfic is welcome for all of these. Torment Will Graham! Haunt the hell out of George Smiley! He would not enjoy it! I love all kinds of darkfic, including stories that are just barely touched with melancholy rather than overtly gruesome, and it's hard to beat just a regular old depressing character study -- I'd be happy to read anything you can come up with.

Fandom: Countless - Cai Guoqing & Chen Chusheng & Zhang Yuan & Yu Haoming (Call Me By Fire 2023 Performance) - It's a 6-minute musical performance, links in my letter, please give it a chance! Four singers depict a psychiatrist + three parts of his patient's psyche.
Happy Endings Preferred?: No. If the patient gets a happy ending (gets out of the hospital, integrates the parts of his psyche back into one, etc) that's fine though definitely not necessary. If the fic is psychiatrist/patient, though, I do not want a fluffy happy ending for them as a couple.
Wanted tropes: Unhealthy psychiatrist/patient, selfcest, mind games/gaslighting, noncon/dubcon, manipulation, mental illness, psychological abuse & torture, almost any other dark trope out there tbh.
Unwanted tropes: Scat/watersports, fluff/healthy relationships. Honestly there is just not a lot I wouldn't be okay with for this. I've listed it as an exception to nearly all my usual DNWs.
Fandom: The Magnus Protocol
Happy Endings? I don't want endings that are distinctly unhappy for any of the main characters, though if there's a statement involved obviously that might not have a happy ending. But I'm also open to ambiguous or unresolved endings.
Wanted tropes: Horror (of course), eldritch beings, alternate universes, characters questioning their sanity or perceptions (with or without it being clear what the answer is), any of the Fears but my favorites are the Stranger, the Spiral, and the Web, and my least favorite are the Flesh, the Hunt, and The End.
Unwanted tropes: Permanent MCD (of main characters, not characters in statements), non-canon ships, smut of any kind, Mr. Bonzo, AUs other than canon divergence
I would appreciate a warning if there is gore, graphic descriptions of injuries, or body horror for either fandom.

Altered Carbon: A dark, gritty canon with murders, mysteries, class issues, body swapping, gun fights, blood, violence, and imprisonment on ice. There is sssoooo much that could be amazingly done here.
Farscape: Between the Peacekeepers, The Scarrans, and everyone else, this universe is a dark, cold place where our friends are always on the run, always moving from one trauma to the next, only finally catching their breath to fall off the next cliff. I'm always here for high stakes, adventures, and more.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern: This whole universe is built on cruelty, on two people (no matter which pair we mean) who are in an endless paired fight together. Forever drawn together, making beautiful, magical designs, and yet forever torn asunder. The weight of the world on each, and destruction is always the winner.
Starling House by Alix E. Harrow: So very much!! All that tragic backstory to dig into.
Alex Stern & Scholomance: Both dark academic pieces with lots of mysteries, murder, monsters, and mayhem. I am here for absolutely all of it however that wants to find the page.

Fandoms: Daemuga, For the Emperor, The Deal
Happy Endings Preferred?: I don't care either way.
Wanted tropes: My favorite dark trope ever is kidnapping/captivity! I also love whump and hurt/comfort in general, including torture, hypothermia, sickness, gaslighting and general manipulation, and on the sexual side of the things I do like dub-con and non-con, but only m/m or f/f.
Unwanted tropes: Injuries to eyes, toes or fingers. A focus on alcoholism. A focus on suicide or suicidal ideation. Men raping women. Non-canonical main character death.
Some specific darkfic requests for specific fandoms:
For Daemuga--Daemuga is a fandom with some supernatural elements, so I think it could be a good fandom for possession, not my usual for darkfic! It also canonically has a kidnapping hotel where people are kept drugged and helpless by their captors for as long a stay as is convenient and I would love to see some more of that ;) whether with the character I requested (Ma Seong-jun) getting held captive there or someone else. I'd also like to see any kind of dark obsessive dynamic with Ma Seong-jun and gangster Son Ik-su.
For For the Emperor--This is a gangster movie so it is a great site for whump and stabbing and scheming and betrayal. I also love the complicated mentor-subordinate relationship at the movie's core and would love to see it get even more messed up than it already is.
For The Deal--It's already got kidnapping, major character death, violence, manipulation, and almost organ stealing, so we're already out the door to a darkfic, right? I just want to see more bad things happen to Park Min-woo or Lee Jun-seong.

Fandoms:
Ravenous (1999): canon is horror, go wild. I really like Ives/Toffler as a dark ship (the betrayal! The noncon potential! "HE WAS LICKING MEEEEE")
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Very violent movie, some fun gallows humor.
Death Rides a Horse: I mean *gestures at canon*. Yeah!
Witch King: Lots of potential for magical torture/captivity.
Happy Endings Preferred?: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Depends on the fic! No strong preference.
Wanted tropes:
Ravenous: Paranoia, body horror, cannibalism, addiction, hypothermia, PTSD, trauma, insanity. Ives/Toffler: Noncon, dubcon, manipulation, gaslighting, memory loss (from Toffler almost dying/actually dying?), cannibalism, betrayal, body horror.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: noncon or dubcon for any main trio ship combo, torture, murder attempts (successes?), hangings, mutilation, captivity/bondage, humiliation, betrayal, manipulation. Feel free to go supernatural/weird west with it.
Death Rides a Horse: If you ship Ryan/Bill I don't want them noncon-ing each other (light dubcon/poorly negotiated hatesex is fine). Torture, PTSD, trauma, threat of or backstory history of noncon, mutilation are all good.
Witch King:Torture, captivity, possession, betrayal, poisoning, combat/torture magic, mental invasion.
Unwanted tropes: fingore (any Watsonian backstory about Lee Van Cleef's missing fingertip gets a pass), body parts freezing and breaking off, any DNWs. Didn't see any hard DNWs on the list of tropes.

Unwanted tropes: needles, parent/child incest (i'm okay if you want to go there with the siblings iris/grey [or vivi] but it's not necessarily what i'm looking for). underage explicit sex (16+ is ok), any body fluid sex play (watersports, scat, blood etc.) on page rape, mutilation/physical torture, vore, references to real-world current events after 2016.
