Dear wonderful creator!
I have already made this paper too long, for which I must crave pardon, not having now time to make it shorter. — Benjamin Franklin
Thank you for creating something for me! I’m excited about every single one of these fandoms and look forward to whatever you make. This letter may include spoilers.
Despite the (hopefully helpful) wall of text, I’m not generally that picky. I like canon relationship dynamics (angry, angsty people who never talk about their feelings still don’t talk about their feelings even in a fluffy scenario), and canon worldbuilding details and seeing how those mesh with whatever new scenarios you come up with or translate into a new environment.

Worldbuilding
I love it when stories incorporate cultural details, details on how the world works like the economy, industry, religion, or social circles and rules, and language details, whether that’s just the acknowledgement of how language is used or actual other language in-fic. I prefer getting dropped into a fully formed world that doesn’t always bother to explain everything, and love it when differing cultures and viewpoints within the world clash. I adore internally consistent pseudo-science and technobabble, origin stories, alternate races, and well-developed power systems for magic, technology.
With superhumans, I love things that explore how abilities work under the hood, how to train them or master them, and love digging into experimentation backstories and the consequences of the rules of how power works.
If there are magical or technological artifacts or objects in canon, I love exploration of those and consequences and extrapolations from whatever canonical details we have, e.g. the Dresden Slate of K or the anacapa drive of the Diving Series. I want to know so much more about either.
Magic/Power Systems
I’m equally in love with superhumans and fantastical “science fiction” abilities and science developed to the point of being magic or with fantasy creatures like fairies and dragons and actual magic systems whether predictable and following rules or wild and unpredictable, so go with whatever you love best or makes more sense to you. I’m also happy with handwaves for how a magic or science fiction premise works so long as the way it works is internally consistent.
Character Study/Development
I love seeing what makes characters tick and exploring how their particular upbringing or culture or biology or power makes them who they are or gives them challenges to overcome. I love watching characters figure out who they are or where they belong, learning who they are when something fundamental about their view of themself changes, or how they hold onto who they are in the face of others who either oppose or support them. I love seeing how their relationships, whether family, friends, or lovers, figure into all of that.
“Just Met” Get Together Shipfic
I love relationship fics where characters have real differences in personalities, temperaments, cultures, even morals and values that they have to work through in order to have a relationship, where what keeps them apart aren’t silly misunderstandings but having to get to know each other and overcome trust issues or their own personal emotional difficulties. I would love to see sex in these stories but preferably after it’s been earned. If you just get them to the kissing stage, that’s fine too and I love a good kissing scene!
“Know Each Other Well” Get Together Shipfic
I love pining! I love characters being in the situation where nakedness or vulnerability could come up and the pining character feels awkward or horrified but turned on because the other party doesn’t know their true feelings. I love when they don’t want to ruin their relationship or truly believe it’s unrequited and it’s not just stupidity that they don’t say something. I love it when both are in the same boat and it’s mutual or when it’s truly one-sided, so long as the friendship or partnership survives them deciding whether or not they love the other one back, regardless of which they choose. I love platonically married partners or estranged friends that could have been more and now get another shot at reconciling their differences and becoming something more. I love it messy and angsty and complicated and knowing each other enough to hurt each other, and I love it leavened with some gentle humor if I can get it and a happy ending.
Established Relationships
I absolutely love established relationships where you can feel the history between them—in little things they know about each other or do around each other without even thinking about it, in inside references and little details showing up throughout that imply stories we aren’t being told right now. I love it when there’s palpable tension between two people that are on the outs for any reason, where they gloss over big discussions or use a simple line or detail to stand in for a whole story or chunk of history. I prefer not to have “as you know Bob” coredumps on history, though I don’t mind exposition here and there. I love tension and these longstanding pet peeves to also show up, where just because they’ve been together a long time or known each other forever, doesn’t mean they always get along without having to work at it.

Alpha/Beta/Omega Preferences
I’m into scenting, knotting, desperate heat sex, desperate arousal, possessive nesting or cuddling, and did I mention desperation? Also love claiming with bites or temporary soulbond lite, do like description of scents and pheromones, lots of body worship because the heat’s made someone irresistible, and enjoy a bit of a case of dysphoria or body horror over how their body is out of their control and really doesn’t care about what they want intellectually.
If there’s a beta in the ship, I prefer betas that are considered part of the ideal threesome and aren’t sidelined as caretaker or “normal.” I prefer if a/b/o gender does not overwrite canon personality, people can still fight their instincts if that’s in character for them, and attraction is to particular alphas, betas, or omegas, not just anyone at all of the right secondary gender. Prefer no unrequested pregnancy, systemic oppression of and prejudice toward omegas, and please don’t use any dog/wolf/puppy terminology or focus on scent “glands” (scent fine), kinking on breeding the omega, or “presenting”.
Kink DNWs
I’ll read but am not a fan of oral sex or cock rings/cages. If you need them to make a requested kink or trope work, it’s fine but preferably not for their own sake.
Please don’t use

- water sports
- sex toys
- bodily fluids other than blood (am fine knowing there’s fluids in sex, just don’t want to read any graphic descriptions at all)

- ageplay
- mpreg
- humiliation
- consent play
- unrequested incest
- unrequested underage
- non-canon compliant a/b/o or anti-omega prejudice

Art Likes
I love so many art styles: line art, pen and ink, pencil drawings, colored pencils, paint, watercolor, digital art, etc. I’d say my favorite things in art tend to be the awe-inspiring realistic with vibrant colors and sharp or soft edges, line art / ink / pencil theme pieces that pick up visual symbols of the characters, and cute stylized fluff pieces with romance or humor in mind. I also adore illustrative art that captures a scene or moment of fic or canon. I would absolutely love landscapes or still lifes of any of the scenery or environments or architecture, etc. of any of my fantasy canons or the home environments of requested characters. I’d always love art for any fanfic I wrote.
For character / relationship shots, I love depictions of characters using their powers or signature weapons or skills, and I love relationship shots that capture soft moments or antagonistic tension or one person being shocked at receiving a kiss or snuggling or sleeping together in the bed or watching over someone sleep or cooking with or for each other. I really love Chuuya’s cute ‘huh?’ face when he’s checking something out, like when he looked down at his shoes because Dazai said he liked them (before he took it back).
Art DNWs
Please don’t draw any of my general, trope, or kink-related DNWs. Also, emaciated character styling or really red noses.
Fandoms
Fic + Art: To Kiss the Granite Choir – Michael Anthony Ashley
Imre Usaym Balgas/Cantiléna of the Baremescre, Imre Usaym Balgas/Cantiléna of the Baremescre & Eroico of the Baremescre
Canon: Short story at Beneath Ceaseless Skies. I love the worldbuilding, the Baremescre, a people who call sword-fighting singing and who grow their hymns / swords from their bodies, and the characters. I love Eroico’s humor, wit, and affection, Cantiléna in all her moods, and Imre’s stubborn determination and I’d love to see any or all three of them interacting.
SFW: What happens after the wedding? I’d love to see more about learning to live with what happened to Imre, more of Cantiléna and Imre’s relationship and making things work between them. The frustration and tension between them and their good moments was all delightful.
I’d love to see in Cantiléna’s head a little in particular (e.g. that scene where she’s watching Imre at the beginning while Eroico’s translating, her comments on the graveyard, and the scene where she leaves Imre because she’s too strong for him), and more of Eroico being a delight.
I love competent sword-fighting and seeing it from the perspective of the Baremescre would be wonderful. Any amount of digging into the worldbuilding would be very welcome.
NSFW: So much tension! Cantiléna and Imre not finishing having sex in the story was still hotter than a lot of fully consummated sex scenes. I’d love to see them finally being able to make it work, despite the logistics they go through with their never quite level physiology. I like rough sex and fighting leading to sex and desperate arousal and first times and experimentation and exploration and body worship. Maybe the sound of his body post-transformation is particularly attractive?
AU: I’d love to see a fix-it where Imre doesn’t kill Ariosa and/or doesn’t misunderstand and turn completely to stone.
Art: I would love imagery of the setting or the character or the “songs” when they wield their hymns (swords). I’d love capturing any of the moments in the story, whether a whole group like the wedding or the trial or something more intimate like Cantiléna and Imre in the boneyard.
Fic: Dance Academy
Abigail Armstrong/Wes Cooper
Canon: TV show on Hulu. Abigail’s story starts in season 1. Wes happens in season 3. This was my surprise canon. I dipped into it because of a fanvid basically and stayed initially for the dance. Then I fell hard for the characters. They grow and change and struggle and all the drama feels true to the characters, and there’s actual grief and disillusionment and those brief moments of transcendence.
I never thought I’d fall so hard for Abigail, and Wes won me over in one episode and I love the two of them so much. He knew her well enough to send her bubble wrap, and they were just so sweet together.
SFW: I’d really love to see more Wes/Abigail whether that’s post-canon or in between seasons when she was out in Barcelona and they fell for each other initially, especially considering Ethan won’t talk about it either. They looked so happy together and I’d love to see how the meet went over in the first place and how he swept her off her feet or vice versa. There were lovely little hints about their history in their conversations.
Any kind of romantic fluff or even tough making the relationship work moments. I’d love to see them happy. Abigail deserves all the happiness. I love that they get to work together too. So post-canon fic and them at the company would be awesome with choreographer + dancer competence. I’m a sucker for both competence and good dance scenes, and they’re both workaholics.
If you’ve seen the movie, just don’t break them up please!
NSFW: I would love first times, whether that was in Barcelona or happens in season 3 or post-canon. If it’s her first time, canonically she kind of wanted that to be special, but she was always confident in what she wanted physically, and I’d love to see her personality shining through, even if it’s a little awkward and a learning curve.
For established relationship, I’d love romantic stuff when they see each other after a work-related absence or on a date or more of that practical lust thing she at least sometimes does. Would also love to see some great kissing.
I love fighting/dancing leads to sex type stuff, so maybe them working together and touches in the line of work slowly heading that direction. And I always love established relationship, especially where you get all these little signs of how much they know each other and what each other likes and doesn’t, and sometimes they do stuff for each other that they don’t like because the other one does.
Phone sex is something they’re really well suited for and I’d love to see. I love the little connectivity issues that popped up on series and I could see them having technical issues and laughter and still managing to make it work and get off.
AU: This is a pairing where AUs would make me equally happy and I’ve always been a sucker for soulmates and soulbonds, accidental or on purpose, subverted or played straight. I love it when sex with soulbonding actually feels more intimate in some way emotionally, but less fond of straight up telepathy bonding.
Fic: Diving Series – Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Canon: book series on Scribd. Man out of time, canon bi (Squishy), close friendships, technology porn, misunderstanding another culture’s technology and what it is and how it works or what it does. I adore this series and all the brilliant, competent women in it, especially Boss, Squishy, and Yash.
Boss & Squishy | Rosealma Quintana & Turtle
SFW: I love their backstory. I’d love to see the three of them on adventures when they haven’t broken over the rocks of stealth tech. Adventures, saving each other, saving tourists, a dive with good spaceship porn (I love good spaceship porn, feel free to use a crossover ship if you like.) I’d just love more of the three interacting.
AU: Maybe they escort time traveling tourists and do their own trips for them the way they do diving in canon. These three start off with such a great friendship that goes sideways when it runs into Squishy’s past. If they were time travelers instead of divers, I could see them trying to use time travel to try and solve their problems instead and I’d love to see how that would go.
Crossovers/Fusions: Diving a spaceship from another canon, e.g. Star Trek, Star Wars, Imperial Rach, Andromeda, Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, Murderbot Diaries, Machineries of Empire.
Edward Quintana/Squishy | Rosealma Quintana
SFW: I’d love character or relationship studies of either of them and the way connected and cared for each other even as they viewed things so, so differently. I’d love to see into their heads and contrasting their viewpoints or watching how they got together in the first place or how he got her into the program in the hopes she’d save people.
AU: What if Boss hadn’t discovered that first ship or had handled it differently? Would that have made the whole Squishy getting back into the program happen differently? Would he eventually have found Squishy on the planet and talked her into helping again? Might she ever have figured out how to get safe or functioning stealth tech? Considering the drive isn’t fully understood even by the Fleet, I wonder if that would even be possible.
Time Travelers With Conflicting Goals for Altering Past: Okay, this is a classic antagonistic couple that would be perfect for this. He just wants people to stop dying and to serve his nation. She wants people to stop dying and destroy her nation if she has to in order to get that. I’d love to see them trying to fix things using time travel, using each other, but also caring as they do.
Love Interest Time Jumps Instead of Dying: If either or both Squishy and him time jump at the canonical death instead, there could be so many possibilities there.
Boss & Yash Zarlengo, Professor Helga Bellier & Yash Zarlengo
SFW: I love Yash, her attitude, her training, her work, her man out of time and stranded in the future situation in canon. Exploration of her feelings and dealing with being trapped in her own future and making a new life for herself or all the worldbuilding about the anacapa drive, however deep or technical you want to go into that, I would love it.
Crossovers/Fusions: Yash practices engineering in another spaceship canon, e.g. Star Trek, Star Wars, Imperial Rach, Andromeda, Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, Murderbot Diaries, Machineries of Empire. I’d love to see her working on any of the living spaceships or working with any of those canons’ engineers, or dealing with them trying to figure out the anacapa drive or them encountering/saving the Ivoire instead of Boss’s team and the Lost Souls corporation.
Lieutenant Leontyne Heyek & Captain Debbie Nisen
SFW: I would love to see more of their work rescuing ships or those stranded in time, especially after Coop when Nisen starts being a little more careful about certain aspects of their work. I love how she summed it up for him. I’d love to just see them working, day in the life, making a rescue, some of the emotional fallout they deal with, worldbuilding, any of it.
Crossovers/Fusions: Encountering / rescuing a spaceship from another canon, e.g. Star Trek, Star Wars, Imperial Rach, Andromeda, Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, Murderbot Diaries, Machineries of Empire.
Fic + Art: K (Anime)
Canon: I’ve watched K (Anime), the Missing Kings movie, and Return of Kings (Anime), read Lost Small World, most of Memory of Red and Kingdom of Red, and a ton of the miscellaneous shorts running around, though I haven’t finished getting through all of them. Feel free to incorporate as much manga/side content as your heart desires.
With the Homura trio, I can enjoy them having an open relationship that allows for additional like Munakata and Seri or a closed relationship with each other or closed relationships with Munakata and Seri. Totsuka, I only ship with Mikoto or Mikoto/Kusanagi. Fushimi, I only ship with Yata. I’m just as happy with ensemble gen. Prefer Mikoto as top, except with Munakata where either is fine.
Specific DNW: random fight-the-strain/random-strain-did-it plots
Awashima Seri/Kusanagi Izumo
Respect, respect, respect. I love that Kusanagi actually does respect her and acts like it. He never objectifies her. And Clans first for both of them. I like that they don’t put each other first and I can’t seem them doing the whole fluffy marriage thing despite their compatibility. A practical marriage or committed relationship feels more likely for them, and I’d love canonical or AU.
I just want more content for these two. I love them and how they’re straightforward, highly competent people who act like adults and get things done and care but don’t coddle, etc.
SFW: Post-canon settling into their clans’ new roles/ways of handling things now that the Slate is gone. In between K and Missing Kings when the two were in communication with each other. Scenes where they coordinated or connected while the clans still weren’t getting along, running the clans hands-on while their kings will be kings, post-canon shopping or first kisses or dates, or sort of not-dating with all the UST and caring and cooperation thing.
NSFW: I think of them as equals in the bedroom as anything else, both of them taking initiative and expressing what they want.
It would be a missed opportunity to not include breast worship here, but I’m also hoping to see more of whole body worship and the way he treats her like someone who’s beautiful as well as competent. I love hair kink and spending time on foreplay or undressing or just in general going really slow or quiet. I like quiet because that’s how they are or quiet because they have to try to be.
For things like desperate arousal, extended foreplay, slow sex, etc., I really love it when there’s this vivid description of how everything feels and the way it intensifies. That kind of description is catnip enough that while, for the sake of my faves, I want them to get off, I’m just as happy just reading that alone. I love uncontrolled/uncontrollable desire and the kind of desperate involuntary frottage, touching, kissing, biting, tasting that can result from that. The more desperate and intense, the better.
I’d love to see aura in the bedroom or being turned on by each other using their powers. Seri turning to Kusanagi for comfort when she almost has to kill her King or him turning to her for comfort when Mikoto died and Tatara’s gone and he’s the only one left of Anna’s dad figures and trying to help her was rough enough to send him to Germany.
AU: AU where Seri did have to kill Munakata and there is comfort sex or even just using sex to cope sex. Soulmates AUs where they don’t let being soulmates affect how they interact with their clans. Arranged marriage to stop clan feuding AU. Everybody lives, nobody dies. AU where everybody has wings that grow when someone loves them. Any of the AUs in my general likes.
Time Travel Teams/Artifacts/Rescue Missions/Soulmates/Worldbuilding: I’d love to see the Dresden Slate reimagined as a time travel artifact or the different clans as different time traveling teams, whether that means they all are innately able to time travel and have different goals and purposes or whether they have somehow differing time travel abilities. I’d love to see time travel shenanigans, people having “constants” (ala, Lost), especially if those constants are people they’d rather not have but are people important to them, or seeing the characters constantly running across each other whether or not they mean to or care to, rescues through time, missions through time, whatever inspires you.
Nagare Made Everybody Kings AU: In a similar fashion, what would happen if everyone the world over became kings, got memories and a brush in with the will and power of the Slate, and a Sword of Damocles over their heads? What would happen to former clan relationships when clansmen suddenly became kings? Preferably with all characters alive at the end of ROK still alive.
Privateers or Space Privateers AU: Munakata was born to be a privateer. State-sanctioned pirates people. I’d love to see Red vs. Blue in space or on the high seas. Preferably as frenemy as they are in canon.
Merpeople or Space Merpeople AU: I love merpeople and would love to see them in space or the ocean. I’m partial to Homura as the merpeople (as playful or terrifying as you’d like) but however you want to do it.
School for the Gifted AU: School AUs with and for ability users / superhumans has always been something I love. I prefer more of a focus on the ability training than the mundane elements of school but have fun with characters at odds, whether as students or staff. (And may I say Awashima would make excellent staff.)
Superhumans Temp Agency: Using abilities for regular life is such a fun idea and I would love to see life go crazy and fun in this AU.
Crossovers/Fusions: Fate Holy Grail War AU: K characters being summoned by Fate/ mages or summoning Fate/ Heroic Spirits or summoning their own Heroic Spirits from within K canon. The relationships that develop between mages and their Servants.
Leverage AU: They could belong to rival crews, rival crews that have to work together, or Homura could be a crew and Scepter 4 trying to catch them.
Other fusions I’d love but don’t really have prompts for: Star Trek, Star Trek Voyager, ATLA/LOK, Machineries of Empire.
I’d love to see a crossover with another canon with special abilities or magic of some kind, e.g. Bungou Stray Dogs, X-Men, the Librarians (see crossovers).
Art: mistletoe kisses, kisses in general, corraling their respective clans, fighting each other (preferably with aura), aura in the bedroom, working together to fight someone else (preferably with aura), Awashima giving him that exasperated look and him that soft one he uses around her when they’re not on business, dinner date or having drinks
Fushimi Saruhiko/Yata Misaki & Oogai Aya
Specific DNW: Please no sappy spill their feelings out conversations, except Yata. Aya might vent hers, Saruhiko might bitterly talk all around his, but the only one of the three with the heart on the sleeve is Yata.
SFW: Okay, I actually loved the trio of them in Lost Small World, and not just the pairing, though I ship the pairing like burning. More on that below. I love Aya’s initially pursuit of Yata and how adorable those two were, her pining (platonically) after Fushimi and how Yata actually gave her good advice on how to connect with her cousin, and I’d love to see more of the three of them actually finding their way.
For canonically, you could expand more of their younger story together and show scenes in between or let us into their heads more, or do a post-ROK reconciliation / meeting again.
AU: What if Aya didn’t lose her Jungle status? What if all three became or remained clansmen? I’d love to see any version of how their interactions might change to reflect that. What if the three had stayed together or Aya had figured out how to be their friend before they all split up?
Privateers or Space Privateers AU: State-sanctioned pirates, people. I’d love to see the clans in space or on the high seas. Preferably as frenemy as they are in canon. I’d love to see Aya and Yata and Fushimi all having complicated relationships when they encounter each other.
Any kind of space AU.
Crossovers/Fusions: Leverage Fusion: Fushimi, Yata, and Aya taking a whack at the Black Book or being a Leverage-style crew attempting to pull a heist against Nagare and Jungle.
Art: using their auras, any kind of fluffy cute scenes or them working together, Aya freaking Yata out by kissing him or something silly and Saruhiko’s reaction whether exasperated, longsuffering, or jealous, the three drinking soda together post-canon, an AU of them as ATLA/LOK type benders
Fushimi Saruhiko/Yata Misaki
Canon: I love every point in their timeline from pre-canon Lost Small World to Homura partners as in R:B to canon during the anime to post-ROK reconciliation.
SFW: So sorry I plumb missed this section! Any sort of canonical in between the scenes or backstory when they were living together or more insight into Yata during their middle school friendship or post-canon continuation, get-together, reconciliation, working to redevelop their relationship welcome.
NSFW: Yata going to Fushimi for sex while grieving because of Mikoto or Tatara and actually getting it without working out any of their issues and being all complicated feelings and supposedly angry with / hating each other is my kind of tension. Especially if Yata does do some talking about it and Fushimi shuts him up with kissing or manhandling and okay, I’ll stop there.
Fine with dubious consent, experimentation with sex before or when they joined HOMRA, and switching. If just one of them on top, tbh, I prefer Fushimi on bottom.
I love their awkwardness that comes from Fushimi not knowing how to deal with feelings and Yata not knowing how to deal with sex and their off-the-charts tension whenever they go up against or with each other, and pinning Yata down with knives is a delightful canonical moment that could use some exploration in private. Also Fushimi canonically has an affinity for holding knives in his mouth before using them. If you go by way of using knives in the smut, please consider including this detail. Biting and inappropriate use of walls are just about bulletproof.
I adore heats and soulbonds and first times in those contexts and also I’m a sucker for amnesia, whether that’s forgetting the relationship they have or getting together because they forgot they’re broken/enemies. They don’t have a holodeck but I could totally see these guys in a Star Trek AU where Fushimi leaves Yata to join Starfleet or something and there is holodeck, but however you want to make that one happen. Oh, but while I could see Neko actually having no problem granting some sort of illusion, I can’t see Yata asking her for it (someone could on his behalf?), but please no random-strain did it stories.
For things like desperate arousal, extended foreplay, first heat, etc., I really love it when there’s this vivid description of how everything feels and the way it intensifies. That kind of description is catnip enough that while, for the sake of my faves, I want them to get off, I’m just as happy just reading that alone. I love uncontrolled/uncontrollable desire and the kind of desperate involuntary frottage, touching, kissing, biting, tasting that can result from that. The more desperate and intense, the better.
Kemmer AU: I’d prefer them to keep their canonical characterization for the baseline, just be androgynous. If you show only one kemmer, I’d rather Saruhiko went female, but overall, prefer switching and no growing out their hair or changing their non-sexual traits to stereotypical gendered traits during kemmer, just being themselves but with changes in physical sex as part of the heat cycle. I absolutely love heats and in this case, the idea of Misaki being suddenly more awkward because Saruhiko’s a girl, which being a girl at all is a sex-related thing in this ‘verse, and exploring first times or figuring out how this all works is my catnip. Also desperate heat sex where you’re half out of your mind and inhibitions and good sense not desired required.
(The context referred to below is that you tend to take the opposite sex if exposed at the start of your kemmer to someone who’s already expressed a sex in their kemmer.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Left_Hand_of_Darkness “The inhabitants of Gethen are ambisexual humans; for twenty-four days (somer) of each twenty-six-day lunar cycle, they are sexually latent androgynes. They only adopt sexual attributes once a month, during a period of sexual receptiveness and high fertility, called kemmer. During kemmer they become sexually male or female, with no predisposition towards either, although which sex they adopt can depend on context and relationships”
AU: Time Travel Teams/Artifacts/Rescue Missions/Soulmates/Worldbuilding: I’d love to see the Dresden Slate reimagined as a time travel artifact or the different clans as different time traveling teams, whether that means they all are innately able to time travel and have different goals and purposes or whether they have somehow differing time travel abilities. I’d love to see time travel shenanigans, people having “constants” (ala, Lost), especially if those constants are people they’d rather not have but are people important to them, or seeing the characters constantly running across each other whether or not they mean to or care to, rescues through time, missions through time, whatever inspires you.
Fushimi Stayed with Homura AU: I absolutely adore these two in R:B and the material for when they were together in Homura. I’d love to see an AU where they figure out how to make it work or someone notices before Nagare pushes him over the edge. Fushimi may have been a better fit for Scepter 4 but he definitely brought a huge amount of value to Homura and did fit in a way there.
Yata Went with Fushimi to Scepter 4: Alternatively, I love Fushimi’s thoughts that if they just want power, there are more clans out there than Homura and he would have followed Yata if Yata had left Homura. What if Yata did follow Fushimi. And he’s a terrible fit for Scepter 4 but maybe Munakata with his ability to see the best place for everyone would find a way to make this inseparable duo work, for Fushimi’s sake.
Hurtcomfortverse: Hurt/comfortverse AU where everyone feels a need to give or receive comfort. Like other orientation-based things, the need to comfort doesn’t have to be applied to everyone, just the people the character cares about. I admit, I see Fushimi as a receiver and Yata as a giver, but feel free to convince me otherwise! I am a sucker for hurt/comfort, for caring, for never getting needs met and then you do, for being naturally inclined to do things but everything being choices and sometimes you choose for and sometimes you choose against your inclination and sometimes the right decision is different than the natural one. Feel free to apply physical or emotional whump that doesn’t cross the DNWs.
Ladyhawke AU: So the two are cursed to be a crow and a… fox maybe? separated by day and night. Whether it’s someone from Jungle or Colorless that causes it or Fushimi tried to tie them together and it went all wrong or whatever. I’d love to see this AU for them. Preferably with a happy ending.
One Specific Demographic Has Heat Cycles, One Specific Demographic has soulmates while others don’t: The one demographic being the clans, of course. For heats, you could go as narrow as red clan (with Fushimi not losing this when he defects). Okay, for soulmates too. Though for soulmates, you could also go with just green clan and Fushimi picks up soulmate recognition when he arrives there.
Crossovers/Fusions: Fate Holy Grail War AU: I’d love to see Fushimi and Yata summoned as Heroic Spirits with Fushimi having knives as his noble phantasm and Yata as the most unconventional Rider with his skateboard.
Other fusions I’d love but don’t really have prompts for: Star Trek, Star Trek Voyager (see crossovers), ATLA/LOK, Machineries of Empire.
Art: fluffy cuteness, sex, post-sex mussed state, kisses, mistletoe kisses, cherry blossoms viewing, Yata cooking for Fushimi, knifeplay
For crossover art, ATLA fusion with Yata as a firebender, and Fushimi as a waterbender (still with the knives though). Avatar!Fushimi with the multiple elements thing.
Kusanagi Izumo & Suoh Mikoto & Totsuka Tatara, Kusanagi Izumo/Suoh Mikoto/Totsuka Tatara, Kusanagi Izumo & Mitsuha Kurayama & Suoh Mikoto
Canon: So I love pretty much every combination of the Homura trio. They’re precious and sweet but also violent and dangerous and I love the way they get each other and are basically on equal footing despite all the clan-related power dynamics, and I love what each one brings to the table with each other, with Homura, and with raising Anna.
Mistuha and the entire Kingdom of Red story and how everyone met and that the concept for Homura’s functions came from Kusanagi and just all of it fascinates me. I’d love to see more of them interacting in that world, part of the timeline, or with Mitsuha.
SFW: I’d love to see pre-canon raising Anna or even earlier before they became clansmen, or first times and slowly realizing they all loved each other or an N+1 fic of accidental dates or kisses or aura stuff. I love how they interrelate with their aura.
NSFW: There’s a part of me that thinks they could have an open relationship where Mikoto has some one-night stands or a thing with Munakata and Kusanagi has his thing with Awashima but they’re all still together. I wouldn’t mind seeing them in an open or closed relationship. I love the idea of masochistic Mikoto or him liking being punished and would love to see smut with that. I prefer Mikoto as a top or switching with Kusanagi. If you do a/b/o, I admit to preferring Mikoto as the alpha, Kusanagi as the beta, and Totsuka as the omega with all three equally vital to the relationship and every combination of characters having an equal level of connection.
For things like desperate arousal, heats, first heat, etc., I really love it when there’s this vivid description of how everything feels and the way it intensifies. That kind of description is catnip enough that while, for the sake of my faves, I want them to get off, I’m just as happy just reading that alone. I love uncontrolled/uncontrollable desire and the kind of desperate involuntary frottage, touching, kissing, biting, tasting that can result from that. The more desperate and intense, the better.
AU: Everyone lives, nobody dies. Soulmates. Characters as Gods AU: Bulletproof. Do as you wish. I will love it.
Totsuka gets shot but survives and K still happens but Mikoto doesn’t die: Totsuka gets shot but doesn’t die and is trying to prevent a clan war from a hospital bed with as much whump and hurt/comfort and anxious tension as your heart’s desire or as funny as you’d like with impediments like a stubborn absent Mikoto and nurses bearing painkillers and well-meaning clansmen. Really, however you want to do this, I will adore you.
Time Travel Teams/Artifacts/Rescue Missions/Soulmates/Worldbuilding: I’d love to see the Dresden Slate reimagined as a time travel artifact or the different clans as different time traveling teams, whether that means they all are innately able to time travel and have different goals and purposes or whether they have somehow differing time travel abilities. I’d love to see time travel shenanigans, people having “constants” (ala, Lost), especially if those constants are people they’d rather not have but are people important to them, or seeing the characters constantly running across each other whether or not they mean to or care to, rescues through time, missions through time, whatever inspires you.
Privateers or Space Privateers AU: Munakata was born to be a privateer. State-sanctioned pirates people. I’d love to see Red vs. Blue in space or on the high seas. Preferably as frenemy as they are in canon.
Merpeople or Space Merpeople AU: I love merpeople and would love to see them in space or the ocean. I’m partial to Homura as the merpeople (as playful or terrifying as you’d like) but however you want to do it.
School for the Gifted AU: School AUs with and for ability users / superhumans has always been something I love. I prefer more of a focus on the ability training than the mundane elements of school but have fun with characters at odds, whether as students or staff. (And may I say Awashima would make excellent staff.)
Superhumans Temp Agency: Using abilities for regular life is such a fun idea and I would love to see life go crazy and fun in this AU.
Crossovers/Fusions: Fate Holy Grail War AU: K characters being summoned by Fate/ mages or summoning Fate/ Heroic Spirits or summoning their own Heroic Spirits from within K canon. The relationships that develop between mages and their Servants. I imagine anyone summoning or being summoned by Mikoto would make for some funny interactions.
Leverage AU: They could belong to rival crews, rival crews that have to work together, or Homura could be a crew and Scepter 4 trying to catch them.
Other fusions I’d love but don’t really have prompts for: Star Trek, Star Trek Voyager, ATLA/LOK, Machineries of Empire.
I’d love to see a crossover with another canon with special abilities or magic of some kind, e.g. Bungou Stray Dogs, X-Men, the Librarians (see crossovers).
Art: Mikoto using Kusanagi and/or Totsuka as a pillow / headrest. I absolutely love how he does this! Ill-advised cooking with Mikoto. Kisses, cuddles, silly pictures together, fighting together, silly dares together, conferring / running Homura together.
Mishakuji Yukari & Yatogami Kuroh
Canon: I love these two and their whole strained brotherly vibe and that Yukari wanted Kuroh to acknowledge him as brother and sought to mentor him even while opposing him. More of that wonderful dynamic! And their mutual appreciation for Ichigen’s poetry and for their inherited swords and my favorite canon moment was when Kuroh composed his own haiku and Yukari learned from it and immediately applied it. I would love to see more for these two.
SFW: Just more of their relationship, pre-canon, in between canon, or post-canon. Poetry, swords, and their familial relationship despite Kuroh’s somewhat denial of as much. Just more.
AU: Yukari stayed with the Colorless Clan or took Kuroh with him to the Green Clan. Or maybe they reconciled sooner or Yukari checked in on Kuroh at times between leaving and the start of K.
Any of the gen AUs in my general likes (tropes) are also fine, if they so inspire you. In the case of something like wingfic or soulmates, etc., I’d love to see that older brother mentorship concerning whatever worldbuilding you do and Kuroh’s experiences in it.
Time Travel Teams/Artifacts/Rescue Missions/Worldbuilding: I’d love to see the Dresden Slate reimagined as a time travel artifact or the different clans as different time traveling teams, whether that means they all are innately able to time travel and have different goals and purposes or whether they have somehow differing time travel abilities. I’d love to see time travel shenanigans, people having “constants” (ala, Lost), especially if those constants are people they’d rather not have but are people important to them, or seeing the characters constantly running across each other whether or not they mean to or care to, rescues through time, missions through time, whatever inspires you.
Space AU: Their story. In space. With spaceships and haiku and Yukari having left their home ship and somehow they end up reconciling on the opposite ends of each other’s swords or spaceshippy weapons. I’m not picky.
Crossovers/Fusions: Fate Holy Grail War AU: I’d love to see them summoned as Servants, especially if they have that canon dynamic of having parted on bad terms on Kuroh’s side and neutral to positive ones on Yukari’s and how they’d relate and communicate in that case. They could be summoned by K-inspired mages or Fate ones.
Jedi AU: The whole balance in the Force, tempted to the dark side, opposing sides but still Ichigen’s seeds that care about each other… I just really like the idea of this.
Art: swords, poetry, aura, any of the AUs
Fic + Art: Bungou Stray Dogs
Canon: So I’ve seen the anime, Dead Apple, and read the summaries of Fifteen and Beast, parts of the main manga with a bit of osmosis of more of the manga. Feel free to incorporate any canon, though if you get into manga-only arcs, please include a hint of explanation where necessary. (I love spoilers, go for it.)
Dazai Osamu/Nakahara Chuuya
SFW: I love their antagonism, their banter (which I’m not as good at writing, please go all out if that’s your thing!), and conflicted feelings or hiding their caring under the opposite. I’d love to see more of Dark Era Chuuya and Dazai, even if it’s a little shippy but they’re not together at all. I’d love to see them pining without even realizing it and trying to take care of each other and learning about each other and developing that crazy unshakable trust that doesn’t quite line up with their antipathy. I’d love to see them flirting with knives and insults and guns and missions and breaking into each other’s apartment and making bets and being teenagers.
NSFW: I like switching or Chuuya topping. I like that Dazai wins on the manipulation/tactics front, but Chuuya tends to outclass him physically. I like the idea of rough sex with these two.
I’d love to see you make use of Chuuya’s choker. (I’m also very attached to his gloves.) And by manhandling and wall sex, I mean Chuuya putting Dazai up against a wall, preferably with a knife. Pretty please. And feel free to add Chuuya dealing with his ability making itself known and Corruption tempting and things rattling around him as Dazai has to keep touching him to keep things sane. Whether their comfort is delivered wrapped in antagonism or not. Ahem.
I’m always a sucker for soulbonds and heats, and it was actually a Dazai/Chuuya fic that got me started on aphrodisiacs. I love amnesia, whether that’s forgetting the relationship they have or getting together because they forgot they’re broken/enemies. Biting and inappropriate use of walls are just about bulletproof.
From a teen perspective if Chuuya gets his first heat and trusts Dazai to help him through it (because riding out a first heat isn’t a good idea or whatever) and Dazai’s fascinated enough by him to want to, but it’s complicated and they still have their bucketloads of antagonism and potential dubcon, but Chuuya’s rationalizing it like working together, as a part of their partnership where they’re really good at it anyway. Maybe they always do heats together because they don’t do vulnerable to other people in general and nobody’s calling anybody on the fact they’re both using it as an excuse to deal with all the tension they have anyway.
For things like desperate arousal, extended foreplay, first heat, etc., I really love it when there’s this vivid description of how everything feels and the way it intensifies. That kind of description is catnip enough that while, for the sake of my faves, I want them to get off, I’m just as happy just reading that alone. I love uncontrolled/uncontrollable desire and the kind of desperate involuntary frottage, touching, kissing, biting, tasting that can result from that. The more desperate and intense, the better.
Non-con NSWF: Preferably in the dark age of Double Black, I could see non-con kissing going either way as a power play sort of thing. I fell in love with non-con body worship of Dazai during consensual sex from a fic I read and would gladly read a lot more of that where the sex was consensual, the body worship was not. I could see initial consent turned to non-con going either way. And guilty pleasure, Dazai instigating non-con somnophilia on Chuuya as teen experimenting/fascinated by his partner type thing.
AU: Chuuya joined the ADA instead or first. With Fukuzawa and tea. And reluctantly admitting having Dazai join too isn’t totally undesirable.
Dazai dragged Chuuya with him when he left the Port Mafia: Maybe Dazai just kidnaps Chuuya when he leaves and the fallout from this massively inspired and terrible decision making but they’re both out of the Mafia.
Characters as Gods AU: Bulletproof for me. Do whatever. I tend to prefer Dazai as a god of death and Chuuya as either the god of calamity or still housing / being avatar for one and being the god of passion or something like that.
School for the Gifted AU: All of these people with abilities as students at a school just for abilities. I’d love to see just about any version of this with a focus on the abilities over the mundane aspects please.
Space Pirates AU: The Port Mafia would make excellent space pirates. Just saying.
Superhumans Temp Agency: Using abilities for regular life is such a fun idea and I would love to see life go crazy and fun in this AU.
Character’s Consciousness Time Travels: Future Self in Relationship with Unexpected Person: Because the very idea of this is precious and I’d love to see all the awkwardness and realizing why they fell in love and going back and initiating things.
Crossovers/Fusions: Fate Holy Grail War AU: Whether the Port Mafia, ADA, government, House of Rats, etc. are in a Grail War summoning Servants or my favorite characters are Servants summoned by Fate characters.
Star Trek Voyager AU: Port Mafia as Maquis and ADA as Starfleet.
Machineries of Empire AU: With Chuuya as a Kel and Dazai as a Shuos, whether seconded in or riding in his head like Jedao and Cheris. And as shippy as possible, even if you go the disembodied route.
Art: Please see my general art likes.
Dazai Osamu/Nakahara Chuuya/Oda Sakunosuke
SFW: I got sold on this threesome by an amazing suicide-murder fic and a cute Chuuya kisses Oda to make Dazai jealous and he ends up taking care of two overly drunk teenagers fic and there’s so little out there. Oda and Chuuya taking care of Dazai, Dazai wanting Oda to take care of Chuuya, or an ill-advised drinking contest, or whatever you can think of.
NSFW: I prefer switching or Chuuya topping. I either like Chuuya and Oda being more experienced than Dazai sexually or Dazai having had a lot of sex with women but almost none with men.
Chuuya wanting Oda to help him make Dazai jealous or Dazai doing the same and them ending up in a threesome.
AU: Poly soulmates AU. AU where Oda doesn’t die. Married Husbands Wanting Divorce/Computer-Assigned Compatible Third Spouse to Save Marriage with Dazai/Chuuya being the starting couple. Alpha/beta/omega relationship where all three are necessary and equally important to the relationship, whether it’s assigned, for heat benefits, or they got there on their own somehow. If going a/b/o, I’d rather Dazai was either not the alpha or Chuuya was a seriously experienced omega and Dazai inexperienced, while also maintaining his usual confidence about things despite not being the physical powerhouse.
Art: Please see my general art likes.
Izumi Kyouka/Nakajima Atsushi, Lucy Maud Montgomery/Nakajima Atsushi, Izumi Kyouka & Lucy Maud Montgomery
SFW Fic or Art: I love the three of them. I love both ships and I’d adore seeing a friendship develop between Lucy and Kyouka. Maybe post-anime where they frequent the little place Lucy works now. Chazuki, tofu, and tea.
NSFW: Experimentation and first times fic? Awkward but sweet.
AU: Steampunk or Space or Pirates/Privateers AU, Soulmates/Soulbonds/Soulmarks, or the Characters are Gods.
Crossovers/Fusions: Fate Holy Grail War AU: Whether the Port Mafia, ADA, government, House of Rats, etc. are in a Grail War summoning Servants or my favorite characters are Servants summoned by Fate characters.
Leverage AU: Feel free to drag in characters from any of the main organizations to make a crew.
Dazai Osamu & Fukuzawa Yukichi, Fukuzawa Yukichi & Izumi Kyouka, Izumi Kyouka & Nakahara Chuuya & Ozaki Kouyou
SFW Fic or Art: Dazai, Fukuzawa, Chuuya, and tea. Okay, Fukuzawa and any of them and tea. Kouyou and Kyouka and Chuuya and tea, over the years or all at once. I am here for the tea. And the characters. And their relationships. And all the stuff going on under the hood and in their heads as they form connections and just more of that good stuff.
An exploration of their family-like relationships whether canonical or AU. I love these characters and what they’ve got going in canon and just about any elaboration thereof.
Characters experiencing control over their ability for the first time or learning/training their abilities.
AU: School for the Gifted AU: Where Fukuzawa runs it and blesses all the passers through that end up staying. Or rival schools with the Port Mafia. Or Kouyou escapes the Mafia with Chuuya and/or Kyouka and brings them to his school. You know, I’m not picky.
Hurtcomfortverse: Hurt/comfortverse AU where everyone feels a need to give or receive comfort. Like other orientation-based things, the need to comfort doesn’t have to be applied to everyone, just the people the character cares about, though empathy/compassion amped up as comfort-giver would probably make them more forgiving or wanting to offer comfort to even enemies. I’d be interested in whichever alignments you want to use, but I’d kind of love to see Chuuya as someone who needs comfort rather than someone who gives it. I definitely see Fukuzawa as a likely comforter.
Fic + Art: Fate/Strange Fake
Enkidu/Gilgamesh, Tine Chelc & Enkidu & Gilgamesh & The Wolf, Tine Chelc & Flat Escardos & Gilgamesh
Canon: I’d prefer nothing that contradicts Enkidu as agender using masculine pronouns, but no need to make a point of it.
SFW: I’m currently obsessed with Fate’s Enkidu and Gilgamesh and I’d love to see them together at last, reunited one way or another. I love the fluffy stuff or the tearful, angsty reunions, the traveling the universe stuff, the exasperation because Gil is terrible and nothing’s ever going to change that. Or the weird brand of affection/teaching/care Gil shows towards children when it comes to Tine.
NSFW: For Enkidu/Gilgamesh, I’m really looking for some of that epic original relationship, first times, what falling in love looked like for Gilgamesh before he decided that only Enkidu would ever be allowed in his heart forevermore, discovering each other, what they liked, sex after fighting, after adventuring, during adventuring, as comfort, as respite, as actually making love.
AU: I’d love to see a Strange Fake AU with the two of them raising Tine. Fluffy holiday scenes or shopping together or spoiling her or not spoiling her when Gil is trying to train her properly. Though he preferred children to be children, so maybe they adopt a serious Tine who never got to be a child and try to fluffily train her to be a child? Cute date fic between the two of them, exploring a new time and all the decorations and Gil being impossibly Gil.
In Fate/Strange Fake he was totally getting ready to go kid on Tine when Enkidu stopped him. But what if he hadn’t and it was Child Gilgamesh and Tine instead? I’d love to see him running around that part of the ‘verse. And I love everything at all about Flat hacking magic.
Art: Domestic or magical catastrophe or cute date or holiday scenes with any of the above configurations.
Flat Escardos & Waver Velvet | Lord El Melloi II
Canon: Flat is precious and I love him more than anyone else in this universe. Okay, I love them all but Flat is a treasure and I want MORE of him with everyone or hacking magic or some exploration of what he actually is besides a delightful anomaly. I’d love to see him driving Waver up the wall again but also how they care about each other in their own way.
SFW Fic or Art: Hacking magic. Consternating people. Any kind of “mission” fic or magic study or “incident” you can dream up.
AU: Abusing Time Travel For Petty Reasons, Character Acquires Time Manipulation Superpower/Artifact Unexpectedly, Accidentally Inventing Time Travel: Because Flat and time travel and Waver and time travel, for that matter, is just the best kind of adventure waiting to happen. Especially with how irrepressible and delightful Flat is. Let him hack time.
Crossovers/Fusions: Machineries of Empire AU: Flat and Waver would both be phenomenal at calendrical technologies and innovation and “hacking the calendar” and doing terrible things to and with exotics.
Fic + Art: Fate/Zero
Diarmuid Ua Duibhne | Lancer/Arturia Pendragon | Saber
Canon: I love these chivalry buddies from Zero and I came out shipping them so hard from the beginning. I love that she’s not affected by his curse, and I love them fighting together or being all warm friends and caring for each other and I just want more.
SFW: An Avalon where he gets to be with her. Her remembering when they’re summoned again at another time and him not but her being in love with him and him falling in love with her again. Them finally getting to have their honorable duel.
NSFW: Words fail me. Please see general kink likes.
AU: Love Interest Time Jumps Instead of Dying/Soulmates through the Ages/Time Travelers Encounter Each Other Over and Over: Just getting to see them interact in a variety of settings or sets of memories and maybe some of that bleeds through as they remember more and more, or maybe they always remember, or just she does.
Crossovers/Fusions Fic or Art: Feel free to fuse or cross them over with any of my other favorite or requested fandoms. Also, the whole Black Cradle from Machineries of Empire holds intriguing possibilities for Heroic Spirits mythology.
Art: sword-fighting, kisses, mistletoe kisses, them being knightly/courtly with each other in their own kind of time/space, being happy in Avalon
Gilgamesh/Arturia Pendragon | Saber
These are a make it work pairing. Meaning, I like her saying no to his outrageous idea of how to propose to a woman, but I also like they’re thrown together stories or AUs or slow build and working through misunderstandings or in a shorter fic, the implied all that happening.
I’d prefer post-canon/AU Fate world rather than going back to either of their times. Even better if Gilgamesh didn’t actually try to destroy the world, and we don’t have to get over that too.
Specific DNW: corrupted Arturia, Arturia/Gilgamesh fluff without acknowledging even briefly how in the world they got over their differences to arrive there, an overly considerate fluffy or whipped version of Gilgamesh (I’m rather fond of his extremely flawed personality so long as he’s not full on burn it all to the ground and start over), soulmates/soulmarks (soulbonds fine).
SFW: Just the two of them connecting as Heroic Spirits. Arturia finding those points where Gilgamesh isn’t wrong and they don’t disagree, whether or not she wants to admit it, Gilgamesh admiring her spirit and devotion. Getting to see the sides of each other that are less obvious. I love when Gilgamesh is being legitimately kinglike and puts his ruler / builder / caretaker hat on, and I love Arturia’s selfless bravery and giving Gilgamesh a verbal takedown when he needs one most. So you know, learning each other, interacting over time.
NSFW: All the body worship, especially Gilgamesh to Arturia but either way. Gilgamesh is gorgeous. Also if Arturia’s thinking obligatory wedding night sex and he’s thinking lavish her with all the pleasure. If doing comfort sex, I’d prefer Gilgamesh comforting Arturia and in this world, okay, the FSN world can be as bad as it gets if he’s sincere about comforting her and she’s consensual about receiving it.
AU: Reluctant lovers in an arranged marriage or an unexpected soulbond (no soulmarks/mates for this pairing please).
There was an excellent AU where Servants were summoned as familiars of the great mage houses, but not in a war, so it provided some non-war opportunity to bond over their out-of-time and out-of-place while still disagreeing on almost everything. I love that they’re equals.
A modern royalty/arranged marriage AU where Arturia and Enkidu and Gilgamesh work out a poly arrangement and she does eventually find the lovable parts of Gil. There’s no way I can think of to make it in character for her to love him off the bat, but I can see them coming to good terms with some work and the right circumstances. And of course, smut is always good.
Art: I want to say anything. See my general art likes. Also kisses, foreplay, or maybe Gilgamesh showing her around his treasury.
Fic + Art: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Mai/Zuko & Izumi
SFW Fic or Art: comforting or showing Izumi her first storm, teaching Izumi firebending or knives, dealing with their personal and relationship issues while parenting
NSFW: Trying to have adult relationship time around having a small child underfoot with terrible timing. The general likes, especially using powers in sex and pinning someone to the wall with knives.
Jin/Zuko & Mai
AU: Zuko stayed in the Earth Kingdom and married Jin, then came back to save the Fire Kingdom after the Avatar defeated Ozai and Azula and there was no one left to rule it. I’d love to see all three of them working out a relationship that works and is honorable and see Mai turning Jin into the Fire Lady she needs to be. If you have any other ideas, I’m up for that too. I’m fine with bittersweet as I absolutely ship Mai/Zuko like burning, but prefer no bashing or all bitterness.
Fic: Honor Harrington Series – David Weber
Horace Harkness & Prescott “Scotty” Tremaine, Horace Harkness/Prescott “Scotty” Tremaine
Canon: Please no ship bashing. I’m happy with gen, shippy, or poly. I love Harkness and Tremaine’s wherever one goes, the other goes with thing they have going. I’d love to see that play out in a time-travel sort of thing. I love Harkness and his thing with Marines and how he fell for Babcock, and I love all three characters individually.
SFW: I’d love mission fic competence porn, hackery, banter, and the two of them just being themselves as they whip some series of events or poor recruits into shape.
AU: Character Invents Time Travel to Save Dead Loved One: I’d love a story where either Harkness or Tremaine invent time travel to save the other, even if that means having someone die before you fix it. Please no permanent character death for these two.
Abusing Time Travel For Petty Reasons, Time Travelers Team: In a world where time travel is normal or generally used for short jumps, these two would make a great team or would love wreaking havoc on enemies or their poor innocent trainees alike with judicious use of time travel. I’d love to see them pulling strategies, missions, or shenanigans in the canon setting or an AU.
Unable To Control Time Travel But Always Together, Soulmates Through The Ages: I really love their always together thing and would love to see them together in different times or in an uncontrollable series of time jumps.
Fic+ Art: Crossover Fandom
Breq (Imperial Radch) & Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries)
Crossovers/Fusions: I adore Breq and Murderbot equally. I’d love to see outsider POV of either one or how they just about never admit to “having an emotion”, except to themselves and they hold all their cards close to their chest and never admit anything but totally act on it in spades and are resourceful and creative and very, very sentient while not being human. I absolutely love the dry, dry voice Murderbot has and would prefer not to see anything too emotionally fluffy for them, but would love some situation fluff, like a little holiday or a drama-watching marathon or their standoffish ways of making friends, e.g. ART or Breq’s early interactions with Mercy, Seivarden, or Tisarwat when she was reaching out and they weren’t actually friends yet.
Loki (Marvel) & Q (Star Trek)
Crossovers/Fusions: I just want to see Loki from any point in the Marvel multiverse (or any gender) interacting with Q. Two mischief makers with an incredible amount of power with the kinds of personalities that strike me as compatible to be friends. I just want to see them interact, whether it’s commentating, raising mayhem, commiserating, rewriting the universe, trolling each other’s favorite targets, trolling each other, friendly contests, whatever you can dream up.
Eugenides the God (Queen’s Thief) & Parker (Leverage)
Prefer no shippy content for this one.
AU/Crossovers/Fusions: My favorite thief (sorry, Gambit) and my favorite god of thieves. I’d love to see an AU where she’s his worshipper and he catches her and interacts with her the way he does with Gen. I’m thinking more keeping the modern Leverage setting, but if you want to throw her back in Queen’s Thief world, I’m fine with that too.
Art: If you want to do art of Parker as a Queen’s Thief, that would be amazing and you should go for it.
The Avengers Team (MCU) & Eliot Spencer (Leverage)
Crossovers/Fusions Fic or Art: Eliot Spencer’s Remedial Cooking Class for Underfed Spies and Secret Agents. Eliot teaches anyone how to cook.
Logan | Wolverine (X-Men Movies)/Ozaki Kouyou (BSD)
Crossovers/Fusions Fic or Art: So Kouyou canonically fell in love and lost him in her attempt to leave the Port Mafia under the old Boss. I’d love to see an AU/Crossover where it was Logan and he recovered and they were able to meet up again, with or without him needing a jog on the head to remember.
Dazai Osamu & Nakahara Chuuya (BSD) & Fushimi Saruhiko & Yata Misaki (K)
AU: Fate Holy Grail War AU: K characters summoning BSD characters or vice versa. The relationships that develop between mages and their Servants. These particular characters just plain interacting with each other.
Crossovers/Fusions: Port Mafia Tries to Move into Shizume City: Could be set during the whole post-Kagutsu, pre-Mikoto period when there was a lot of upheaval in the underground that ended up getting stopped by Mikoto becoming the new Red King. Could be Homura and Port Mafia forming an alliance or neutral relationship. I’d love to see such larger-than-life abilities up against or working with the Red Clan, especially as the King is likely to be still untouchable but the clansmen aren’t, and Mori vs Mikoto on leadership style is just delightfully incompatible, though I imagine Munakata and Mori would downright relish going head to head. And the four requested characters’ opinions and places in all of this would be wonderful to see, whether Dazai is already ADA or not and whether Fushimi’s moved to Scepter 4 or is still with Homura.
Chuuya is Yata’s Biological Dad with Canonical Mother: Finding out the father of your kid is in the Mafia is a pretty good reason to cut ties, and tbh, this is a bit of a guilty pleasure request. Maybe Chuuya finds ways to intervene or do little things for Yata that never actually lets Yata know about him and it affects or plays into K canon. Maybe they meet after Yata’s grown and a clansman or even post-ROK with or without Yata knowing about the relationship. I don’t subscribe to the theory that Port Mafia members don’t have families, as there’s evidence to the contrary in BSD.
The Librarians Team (Librarians TV) & Jungle (K Anime)
Pairings & Characters: Preferred Librarians pairings if included are Jacob/Cassandra, Eve/Flynn, and my favorite characters are Cassandra, Ezekiel, and Jenkins. I love the ensemble of K and basically all of the clans. Preferred K ships are Fushimi/Yata, Mikoto/Munakata, Mikoto/Totsuka, Mikoto/Totsuka/Kusanagi, Kusanagi/Awashima, Kuroh/Kukuri.
Crossovers/Fusions: The Librarians team (Librarians TV) tries to deal with the Dresden Slates (K): The Dresden Slate is literally magic and it being sealed and buried fits with the whole situation of magic getting shut down and stowed in the library mostly, and I’d love to see them dealing with the Slate, especially if it came on their radar because of Kokujoji no longer controlling it and keeping it mostly sealed (by magic) or from Nagare waking it up and trying to unleash its magic on the entire world. I would particularly love to see Awashima and Eve interact if there’s a good opportunity for it. I think they’d like each other.
There’s a Colorless King slot open and any of the Librarians awakening as a King would be amazing. Jacob geeking out over the Slate and potentially knowing more about its origins. Cassandra reverse engineering anything about it and its origins.
Art: Any scene of Librarians vs. Slate or clans or someone getting aura or a sword. Ezekiel trying to steal from any of the main K cast, who catches him.
Chakotay & Katherine Janeway (ST:VOY) & Fushimi Saruhiko/Yata Misaki (K)
Canon: Pairings I like if you want to include them: B’elanna/Tom, Fushimi/Yata. If you feel like throwing in additional K characters, that’s fine, but I’d rather they didn’t overwhelm the native Voyager crew. My favorite Voyager characters not in the tag are B’elanna and the Doctor.
AU/Crossovers/Fusions: So maybe it’s just me, but I think Fushimi would make an excellent Federation spy among the Maquis and Yata an actually loyal member that feels betrayed and Janeway can be the Munakata parallel but herself (she’d be a great influence on Fushimi and that’s a relationship I’d love to see), and Yata can be loyal to Chakotay (and maybe he can provide a nice stabilizing influence kind of like how he did for B’elanna and would Yata try to murder his spirit animal or be his cinnamon roll side for that?).
Art: Any Star Trek Yata or Fushimi art would be so, so welcome. I’d love to see them in uniform or space and especially if Fushimi somehow still keeps his knives.
