dear creator letter (fffx)

[ziskandra]

 

 

Hello and welcome! I look forward to reading whatever you create for me. While I have included prompts for all of my requests, please don't feel beholden to them if something I've mentioned, or my likes list, inspires you in a different direction! The prompts are just there to help in case you need some more specific ideas!

With no further ado, I'll re-state my likes and DNWs before getting into fandom and pairing specifics.

LIKES: angst with an unhappy ending, apocalypse AU, bittersweet endings, canon divergences, character studies, fake dating, first times, five times fic, huddling for warmth, light bondage, on the run from the law, orgasm delay/denial, pining, power imbalances, rough sex, smutty character studies, soulmate AUs (both inverted and played straight), time-travel, unconventional formats and POVs.

DNWs: age play, animal play, blood-related incest, explicit underage (<16), foot fetish (shoes okay!), mpreg, noncon (dubcon okay!), omegaverse, raceplay, scat, unrequested gender headcanons, unrequested asexuality headcanons, vore.

 

 

ACE ATTORNEY

Franziska von Karma: Franziska is hands-down favourite Ace Attorney character of all time, and I would love any fic centred on her. I basically ship her with anyone (that does not conflict with my DNWs!) so if you’d like to take this as the chance to write the Franziska rarepair of your dreams, go ahead!

Prompts: growing up, shedding the whip as a security blanket, contemplating motherhood, learning to love, forgiveness, solving the murder of a loved one.

Manfred von Karma: I just love the von Karmas, okay. I love explorations of any of Manfred's relationships: with his own parents, with potential siblings, with his children, with his granddaughter, with his colleagues (Gant and Badd are particular favourites of mine), with the Edgeworths (what was his thought process behind taking in Miles -- I'd prefer it he generally cared for him at some point), with Amano, literally, anyone you can think of! Case fic, character studies, I love 'em all.

Apollo Justice: He of the Many Backstories. For Polly, I'd love to see canon-divergence where either of his parents (or both!) end up raising him, and seeing how that affects his future. I'd still love to see appearances from other characters, though! Maybe Dhurke's his cool uncle instead, or something. Alternatively, I'd love fic set in the past or in the future: during Apollo's time in Khura'in (as a child or after SoJ), his time with Clay, his time with Kristoph, etc.

Kristoph Gavin: I find Kristoph fascinating. I'd love to have some backstory-laden content for him: what was his childhood like? Did he feel like he grew up in Klavier's shadow, despite Klavier being younger than him? Where did he get his impeccable sense of style from? What was his relationship with his parents like? When and how did he acquire Vongole?

Alternatively, I'd love to see something centered on his activities after being imprisoned. Does he lobby to have his sentence downgraded? Does he plot a daring escape? Does he play messed-up mind games with the other prisoners? The world is your oyster!

Miles Edgeworth/Mia Fey: I love these two together. Mia thinking he's a bit of a stuck up jerk but being attracted to him anyway, Edgeworth admiring Mia's strength and determination. I'd greatly enjoy to seem them talking or even investigating DL-6 together, since it casts a great shadow on their lives. Does Mia perform a channeling for Edgeworth in attempt to change his mind? How does their experiences with Dahlia shape them? Does Diego interfere with their relationship? Does Manfred? Alternatively, something set after Mia's death and having a Channelled!Mia interact with Edgeworth in a shippy way regardless of their previous romantic history would be extremely good as well.

Apollo Justice & Trucy Wright: My request for these two is pretty simple: won't someone please tell them they're siblings! What effect does it have on their relationship? Do they feel betrayed that Phoenix kept the secret for so long, or not? Does Trucy decide to spend more time in Khura'in? Does Apollo want to return to America? Or does it change nothing about their dynamic at all?

Klavier Gavin: Just how German is Klavier ‘Piano’ Gavin anyway? What is the German legal system like, and what is its relationship with child geniuses, how was the founding of the Gavinners? How does Klavier’s feel on Apollo moving to Khura’in? If you decide to get shippy with it, I'm open to any Klavier with anyone other than Apollo or Kristoph.

CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND

Rebecca Bunch/Valencia Perez: I would love a canon-divergence (from any part of canon that suits you) where Rebecca realises that instead of having to decide between men, she wants to date Valencia instead! Alternatively, even something post-canon would work. Maybe Beth and Valencia don't end up getting married (I'd prefer their split to be amicable), and Rebecca ends up writing an epic musical about her romance with Valencia?

DRAGON AGE

Hawke/Loghain Mac Tir: I'd love to see them bond while they're working together investigating the Grey Wardens. I have a slight preference for Female Hawke, but male Hawke (or unspecified gender Hawke!) can come too! If you're going to use first names, I'd prefer their defaults. My favourite Hawke for this pairing is a Red Hawke who sided with the templars (they can bond with Loghain over making difficult decisions that led them to be ostracised), but other configurations are more than welcome, too. I'm probably least interested in a Blue Hawke, overall, but if you have a really good idea for them, go ahead!

(Also, any indication of the ramifications of their Fade visit would be loved. Maybe one of them tries to stage a rescue attempt!)

Loghain Mac Tir/Cousland: Again, a slight preference for female Cousland with the default name but Couslands of other genders are welcome, too. My favourite dynamic in this pairing is Cousland being competent and sexually experienced (I'd prefer Loghain not be their first or anything like that), and to initiate the relationship between them. Perhaps Loghain feels reluctant at first because of the age gap? Perhaps they get in a compromising position while sparring? How do they resolve the ending of Origins? What opinions does Anora have on their relationship?

Alistair/Hawke: Similar to the above Loghain/Hawke request, I love my belligerent warden/Hawke sexual tension. My preferred Hawke in this situation is a purple Hawke who romanced Anders but sided with the Templars (resulting in Anders's death). I feel like this Hawke would have a lot in common with an Alistair who romanced a now-deceased Hero of Ferelden, as they both use their sense of humour to deflect from their past tragedies. Again, I'm here for bonding, bickering, rescue attempts, straight-up canon-divergences, etc.

Cassandra Pentaghast/Regalyan D'Marcall: Firstly, I have watched Dawn of the Seeker, so if you wish to include events that happened in there, please feel free to do so! Alternatively, feel free to make up your own history for them because I can't recommend DotS in good faith if you haven't seen it...

I'd love to see a take on their first time, or any sort of wooing, really (we know Cass can be a tough woman to please!), or explorations on how they manage their relationship over the years (are they on-and-off again? Do they write each other love letters? I'm down for any interpretation) How does Cassandra cope with the news of his passing?

Anders/Hawke: There is so much baked-in tragic potential here. I love a Hawke (of any background, I just ask that you use the default names where applicable) who whole-heartedly completes Anders's personal quest in Act III without question, and is utterly betrayed by the resulting explosion. Does Hawke feel betrayed (by either the death of innocents or not being invited into Anders's plan?) How does Hawke reconcile this? If Anders live, do they escape Kirkwall together? What are they doing before Hawke's appearance in Inquisition?

Meredith Stannard/Cullen Rutherford: Cullen and Meredith both have a tragic history with mages. Does Meredith play upon Cullen's fears in order to make him a better Templar? Does she tell Cullen about what happened to her sister? I'd also be interested in a canon-divergent AU where Meredith survives the events of DAII! How does that impact what happens next?

Loghain Mac Tir: I just find this man immensely fascinating. His relationships with Rowan and Marric, his relationship with his wife (I prefer the name Celia over Maeve), his relationship with his daughter, his relationship with the Warden, or with Hawke... or anyone, really, I am not picky. What lengths does he go to do in the hopes of redemption? Or if he dies, maybe he reunites with his deceased loved ones in the afterlife, and is also haunted by those who he's had killed?

MASS EFFECT TRILOGY

Shepard/Kaidan: I love any exploration of their relationship, both in canon and beyond. I’m also particularly fond of a wide-array of AUs for them, such as coffeeshop, bakery, roommates and the like! My favourite take on this pairing is Kaidan being obviously infatuated with Shepard from the jump but it taking Shepard a little more time to warm up to him.

Prompts: falling in love, meeting the parents, Kaidan’s POV on the events of ME2, post-ME3 (whether Shepard survives or dies), mutual pining, miscommunication, celebratory kisses.

Miranda Lawson/Female Shepard: Miranda might have been genetically engineered to be perfect, but then Shepard was reconstructed to be humanity’s salvation by Miranda herself. How does Miranda reconcile these two factors?

Prompts: creative use of biotics, testing out the extent of Shepard’s cybernetics, post-game reflections upon their relationship (whether Shepard lives or dies), musing on what it means to be ‘human’.

Kaidan Alenko/Female Shepard/Garrus Vakarian: I love pretty much any possible permutation of this OT3. For this pairing, I'd prefer that Shepard survive the events of Mass Effect 3. Are two of them together first and realise they have a mutual crush on the third? How does their relationship grow throughout the games and post-canon?

Shepard: I'm honestly just here to hear about your Shepard for this one. What's their background? What's their reputation? What makes them tick? Who did they romance (if anyone)? What was their thought process in the choice they made at the end of ME3? What was their relationship with Anderson like? With the Illusive Man? Custom names are fine for this request!

Female Shepard/Samantha Traynor: Sam’s enthusiasm and energy for life make me love her, and I’m sure it’s the same for Shepard! I will basically gobble up anything about this pairing, so whatever idea you may have, please drop it on my plate!

Prompts: shower sex, bonding over being from colonies, meeting the parents, reflections on their relationship after Shepard’s death/disappearance, chess games, toothbrushes.

 

MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA

Liam Kosta/Ryder: I'm really feeling AUs for this pairing at the moment. Perhaps something mundane, like a coffeeshop or college AU? Or a timeline divergence where neither of them go to Andromeda and are left behind on Earth during the Reaper War? Soulmate AU? Heck, AU them into your favourite fairytale; your imagination's the limit!

Alternatively: Ryder tells Liam about what they learnt from looking at their father’s memories. Comfort ensues.

Jien Garson/Sloane Kelly: I would love some canon-divergence where Jien isn't presumed dead and instead lives to see Andromeda. How does this affect the Initiative's morale? How does Sloane assist Jien in painting her masterpiece? What steps are actually required for them to admit their feelings to one another? Alternatively, I'd love Sloane investigating Jien's 'death' under any circumstances (whether the events of Nexus Uprising happen the same way they do in the book or not). Of course, I'd prefer it if Jien was found alive at the end!

Cora Harper/Female Ryder: Outtakes from their relationship (whether they follow Scott’s romance path or take a different route), canon divergent AUs where they had met and gotten to know each other before the Initiative… modern AUs (coffeeshop? bakery? office? highly-specific-workplace?) I’m here for it all!

Prompts: gardening, falling in love, first times, Ryder telling Cora about her dad’s memories (and comfort ensuing), Cora’s reaction the times that Ryder dies.

Alec Ryder/Ellen Ryder: I'd honestly love anything for this ship. Pre-canon: how did they meet, how did they feel about becoming parents, what challenges did they face in their marriage? Or maybe an Alec-doesn't-die AU? Does he loop anyone in to the fact that Ellen is still alive? What's her reaction when he revives her?

ORIGINAL WORK

Woman on Murderous Revenge Quest/Other Woman Who Encourages Her: I just want two women fucking up the people who've wronged them, while in a most likely increasingly co-dependent relationship with one another. Maybe the Encouraging Woman is bringing up more and more people that have slighted her to the murderer. How does that make her feel? Does she feel used, like a tool or a weapon? Or does she like being used in such a way? I'm down for any setting: modern day, fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, whatever you feel like!

PERSONA 3

Minato Arisato/Mitsuru Kirijo: I just love the genuine respect they have for each other, and how Minato inspires Mitsuru to break things off with her awful fiance. I'd love to see some canon-divergence for them so their relationship can continue after P3. How does Minato deal with a life he hadn't expected to have, how does Mitsuru balance the relationship and her career and her studies? Motorcycle rides are also good.

Mitsuru Kirijo/Yukari Takeba: I love their interactions and they have so much chemistry, especially on the school trip where Yukari needs to literally slap some sense in Mitsuru! I'd love to see them coming to terms with their attraction to one another, however they choose to conceptualise their sexuality. How do they deal with Mitsuru's fiance, and how do they manage their relationship while Yukari's still in school and Mitsuru's graduated? Or maybe they meet again many years later and (re)kindle things then?

Mitsuru Kirijo/Akihiko Sanada: These two have so much history together, and it's delicious. I always got the vibe that Akihiko crushed on Mitsuru a little. Why is he scared of pursuing it? Is it because she'd Execute him? Do they explore their feelings together after graduation?

THE OUTER WORLDS

Parvati Holcomb/Junlei Tennyson: What do they get up to after the end of canon? Is more discovered about why Earth went dark? Do they enter a marriage contract? Do they decide to have an old-fashioned marriage? What does Parvati think of spending more time on the Groundbreaker with Junlei? Does Parvati write long letters to her dad that she never sends about her relationship? Or does she even try and track down her mother?

Captain/Ellie Fenhill: There is not enough content out there for this pairing and I am always craving more. I love how the Captain’s support of Ellie helps her to realise that allowing others to support you isn’t a weakness, and that she doesn’t see the inherent romantic subtext of asking the Captain to come meet her parents…

Prompts: creative reinterpretation of the phrase ‘watching your back’, working together to make Halcyon a better place, whatever happened to Earth anyway?

TIGER & BUNNY

Barnaby Brooks Jr./Karina Lyle: I love how these two have this air of competitiveness between them. Karina thinks Barnaby's a show off, Barnaby thinks Karina is an immature girl... I would like to see them grow a mutual respect of each other, and begin to see one another in a whole new light.

Prompts: drunken confessions, first times, make-up sex, post-battle adrenaline, meeting the parents, long-distance relationship, moving away, fake dating.

TO THE MOON

Neil Watts/Eva Rosalene: I love the belligerent sexual tension these two have and just crave more content of them working together. Maybe they hook up one night and they're worried about the effect it'll have on their working relationship? Or maybe the fan theories that Neil's dying and the games are actually one of them reliving his memories are true -- I'd love to see Neil and Eva working together to fulfil one of their final wishes. Or maybe they're misusing company equipment to change their memories for whatever reason, despite the fact that neither of them are actually dying at all?
