I'm really, really late with participant prompts this year, but hey! Better late than never!

If you'd like to treat someone, the only rules are that you respect their do-not-wants. There are no word count minimums or maximums and there's no limit to how many treats you can offer. When you've finished a treat, you can post it to the Heavy Artillery Rare Pair Exchange 2023 Treats collection, over on AO3.

A few of the participants have elected to keep their names anonymous. If you would like to fill a prompt for an anonymous participant, just leave a comment on this post with the participant's number and I'll provide you with the names of the people whose requests you'd like to fill so that you can gift your treat accordingly.

( Prompts behind a cut for space. )

Holy cow! Can you believe it's time for the fourth annual Heavy Artillery Rare Pair Exchange, y'all? That's right! It's the season where we spread the love around our small but mighty HBO War fandom by turning the spotlight toward those pairings we don't see enough of. Load up your low-key faves and get ready to celebrate the secondary—and tertiary—characters that make these shows special.

( Schedule, info, FAQ, and rules are behind the cut. )

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, or if you require clarification on anything. I can't wait to get this ball rolling!
