Dear Creator Letter (@heartattackexchange)
Hello and welcome! I look forward to reading whatever you create for me. While I have included prompts for 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, body horror, canon divergences, character studies, dubcon due to power imbalances/altered states, drunk confessions, fake dating, first times, five times fic, femdom, huddling for warmth, light bondage, on the run from the law, orgasm delay/denial, pegging, pining (requited or not), rough sex, smutty character studies, soulmate AUs (both inverted and played straight), time-travel, unconventional formats and POVs (e.g. mixed media, interactive fiction, first/second person, outsider POV), watersports.
DNWs: age play, animal play, bestiality, explicit underage (under 16), foot fetish (shoes okay!), mpreg, omegaverse, physically violent noncon, raceplay, scat, unrequested asexuality headcanons, unrequested gender headcanons, unrequested incest, vore.
On art: I love bright colours, clean lines, nature landscapes, lazy days in bed, kissing in the grass, limited colour palettes, abstract art, pastiches, solemn expressions... honestly, I love pretty much all art and it would be hard to go wrong!
Prompts: begrudging respect, long-distance relationship helping Phoenix through the aftermath of his disbarment, Franziska and Phoenix raising Trucy together, anything involving the card with the drawing of Phoenix's face on it that Franziska is probably still inexplicably holding onto?
This is a strange pairing, you might say, and you're right! But hear me out for a moment here -- I love thinking about how these are two people who are struggling with the weight of failing the person they both loved the most, to the point that they end up embroiled in an entirely hare-brained scheme to save her sister. I just see their interactions at the time filled with codependency and conflict and I am here for all of it.
I love the idea of these two having some sort of relationship (friends with benefits? casual dating? something more?) during their college days. Maybe they went to art school together? (Did Larry end up dropping out once Phoenix transferred?) How does life end up causing them to drift apart? (I'm perfectly happy for, say, Phoenix's feelings for Edgeworth getting in the way, or Phoenix and Larry simply drifting apart). Or, write me the canon-divergent happy-ending AU of your dreams for them!
Look, I just love the idea of Isabela seducing a queen. Is Isabela sneaking around Denerim to visit her old friend the Hero of Ferelden? Or Alistair? Maybe Isabela inadvertently rescues Anora from a threat, or has intel that someone is trying to harm them, and sparks fly from there. Bonus points for Anora being frustrated (sexily or not) that Isabela's getting under herclothes skin!
I love the idea of Morrigan acting as Anora's arcane advisor instead of Celene's (perhaps the Warden puts them in touch?) I can see them being very drawn to one another -- two very powerful women who allow little compromise in the face of their goals. Besides, Anora needs a heir, and Kieran's right there... does that cause conflict between them?
I have received some beautiful fic for this pairing recently, and I am always craving more! I just love the idea of the two most powerful women in the nation defying societal expectations to rule alongside each other.
Prompts: deciding on a potential heir, wedding night intimacy and vulnerability, Cousland's decisions regarding Loghain and how that affects their relationship, Ferelden wordbuilding, political machinations in the face of detractors trying to destabilise their rule.
I'd love to see them bond while they're working together investigating the Grey Wardens. My favourite Hawke for this pairing is a Red Hawke who sided with the templars (they can bond with Loghain over being Ferelden, and 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!)
God, these three never fail to make my heart hurt. I'm happy for anything featuring them to be set anywhere from during the rebellion up until Rowan's death. I personally see Rowan as having great difficulty trusting and feeling safe around Loghain again since the end of Stolen Throne, but I'm very open to other takes on their relationship! Who's the one who brings up that instead of having all this weird awkward tension they should just sleep together, the three of them? (It's probably not Loghain, but it'd be hilarious if it was!) If set in later canon where Loghain is married to Celia, I'd prefer for her to know and approve of Loghain's involvement (and whether she also takes part is up to you!) But if that's not your cup of tea, I'd prefer for her not to be mentioned at all.
Let Loghain Mac Tir love his wife! I love everything about them, from their humble origins where Celia chewed him out for living in a tent outside his crumbling castle, to how they must have struggled together with being elevated above their station. How did they feel about becoming parents? Did they ever want to have more children? And what does Celia think of Loghain spending so much time in Denerim (and taking Anora with him, as he gets older?) Does Celia suspect that Loghain still holds a torch for Rowan? If so, what does she do about it? How does Loghain cope (or not) with Celia's death?
I love leaning into Meredith's backstory (wherein she became a Templar because of how her family failed her sister). How does this interact with other characters? Does a rogue or warrior Hawke have similar feelings about their sister and the lengths they'd go to protect them? Is Hawke leaning towards siding with the Templars, or the mages? I love red or purple Hawke the most!
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?
[tba] But the long and the short of it is I love their belligerent sexual tension and I would love to see something set in DAII which explores how they think they have the same goal in mind but are exploring it from different angles.
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!
I just love the idea of these two forging a relationship together, especially with Sloane's growing but begrudging respect of Ryder throughout the end events of the game.
Prompts: long distance relationship, taking the weight of leadership off each other's shoulders, the end justifies the means, Sloane takes Ryder up on that offered hug after the Battle of Meridian...
I find Jien as a character really fascinating and would love to know more about her. How did she come about her wealth? What prompted her desire to form the Initiative? (What were her interactions with The Benefactor like? (Feel free to have their identity be whoever you want, or leave it ambiguous.) What was her relationship with Alec like? What would happen in a world where she survived to paint her masterpiece?
I love how complex a character he is and how controversial his actions were. I’m honestly here for any exploration of Alec as a character, whether that be pre-canon or in an Alec-doesn’t-die AU.
Prompts: Alec doesn’t die and Ellen is revived, how Alec and Ellen met, Alec’s childhood and how he ended up joining the Alliance, becoming an N7, going through the Mass Relay for the first time, the First Contact War, Alec's thoughts on parenthood
I love the idea of these two together; they have many differences given their personalities (Liam being emotional, wearing his heart on his sleeve, a crisis responder, and Cora being a soldier), but also many commonalities (feeling adrift from those around them, wanting to be part of something bigger than themselves.) How do they end up getting together and what work do they have to put into the relationship?
How do they end up getting together for the first time? Does the Nomad end up bogged down in a strange place?
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.
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?

Ace Attorney
Franziska von Karma/Phoenix Wright
Phoenix always gave me the impression he'd enjoy being stepped on a bit, and who better than to do the stepping than Franziska? He tried to impress her with flowers after she was shot, and if Edgeworth is to believed, she was looking forward to whipping Phoenix silly upon seeing him again in T&T...Prompts: begrudging respect, long-distance relationship helping Phoenix through the aftermath of his disbarment, Franziska and Phoenix raising Trucy together, anything involving the card with the drawing of Phoenix's face on it that Franziska is probably still inexplicably holding onto?
Misty Fey/Diego Armando
This is a strange pairing, you might say, and you're right! But hear me out for a moment here -- I love thinking about how these are two people who are struggling with the weight of failing the person they both loved the most, to the point that they end up embroiled in an entirely hare-brained scheme to save her sister. I just see their interactions at the time filled with codependency and conflict and I am here for all of it.
Phoenix Wright/Larry Butz
I love the idea of these two having some sort of relationship (friends with benefits? casual dating? something more?) during their college days. Maybe they went to art school together? (Did Larry end up dropping out once Phoenix transferred?) How does life end up causing them to drift apart? (I'm perfectly happy for, say, Phoenix's feelings for Edgeworth getting in the way, or Phoenix and Larry simply drifting apart). Or, write me the canon-divergent happy-ending AU of your dreams for them!
Dragon Age

Maybe Isabela inadvertently rescues Anora from a threat, or has intel that someone is trying to harm them, and sparks fly from there. Bonus points for Anora being frustrated (sexily or not) that Isabela's getting under her
Anora Mac Tir/Morrigan
I love the idea of Morrigan acting as Anora's arcane advisor instead of Celene's (perhaps the Warden puts them in touch?) I can see them being very drawn to one another -- two very powerful women who allow little compromise in the face of their goals. Besides, Anora needs a heir, and Kieran's right there... does that cause conflict between them?

God, these three never fail to make my heart hurt. I'm happy for anything featuring them to be set anywhere from during the rebellion up until Rowan's death.

Mass Effect: Andromeda
Sloane Kelly/Jien Garson
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?

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
Eva Rosalene/Neil Watts
I love the belligerent sexual tension these two have and just crave more content of them working together.
