Dear Creator (@fffx)
Hello! Thank you for creating for me. I am also
ziskandra at AO3!
I look forward to seeing 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.
Also, please note that length of prompts does not relate to my enthusiasm for a particular character or ships, but more likely the length of the time I have been requesting them, or how many ideas I have for their dynamic!
I'm a huge multishipper at heart: as long as the work focuses on my requested character/ships, feel free to include whatever background relationships you like, whether that be in subplots, past relationships, or unrequited pining for an unrequested character. (Any exceptions will be noted.)
Treats of any type are always welcome for my requests.

Ace Attorney
Franziska von Karma
Franziska is hands-down one of my favourite Ace Attorney characters of all time, and I would love any fic centred on her. Take this as carte blanche to write the Franziska fic of your heart. I ship her with pretty much everyone except her blood relatives, so if there's a Franziska ship burning a hole in your heart, please deliver it to me, for I will feast upon it. That being said, I also welcome gen with open arms!
Things I'm particularly interested in
-Her childhood growing up with her father and Miles
-any and every headcanon you might have regarding her Word-of-God older sister and her niece (and good ole Phoenix-the-dog)
-anything you might like to write about her mother (and how that fits in with the rest of her family)
-Franziska's approach to parenthood
-any gender/neurodivergence/other identity headcanons you might have for Franziska
-casefic wherein Franziska has to solve a murder of a loved one
-Franziska’s reaction to Phoenix’s disbarment
Particular ships I have thoughts on (but please don't feel limited to just these)!
Morgan Fey
Morgan is such a complex and layered character, and I'd love anything exploring how she became who she is today. There are so many complicated feelings to explore here, and there are so many questions on my mind I'd love investigated. There are sure to be no easy answers, but that's what makes them fascinating!
Does Morgan feel burdened with the expectation she'll raise Maya? Was she even asked, or is it simply assumed that as a member of the branch family, she'll acquiesce to the Master's whims? How does giving birth to Pearl change Morgan's relationship with Maya — did Morgan's vengeful feelings predate the awakening of Pearl's spiritual powers, or are they are a response to it? How did she feel when her first husband left her and took their daughters? Angry? Relieved?
How was Morgan and Misty's relationship growing up? Did Misty make a big deal out of having spiritual powers while Morgan did not, or did she try to keep her abilities on the downlow? Does Morgan resent not having spiritual powers, or just power? Is her desire to have her own blood become Master based solely on her own entitlement as the eldest daughter, or does she possess genuine concerns about Misty's leadership and decision-making capabilities?
Feel free to include any ships that strike your fancy, or focus on platonic relationships, or simply Morgan herself.
Manfred von Karma/Miles Edgeworth
So many glorious dubcon opportunities here, although I’d be equally glad with one-sided pining on either character’s behalf if that works better for you! I love leaning into all the mentor/student tropes, especially guilt over their attraction to one another. Miles convincing himself that he’s somehow led Manfred down the path of debauchery would be amazing, if you’re so inclined.

If you chose to go to the Prison - Elevator route, I don't care what sort of convoluted reason is required to get Edgeworth into the elevator (is he placed there? is he trying to desensitise himself to his fears? is one of the von Karmas forcibly trying to desensitise him?)
For Noncon - Prisoner Forced to Confess Fantasies about Love Interest and Perform Them with Captor, I don't have any preference for Edgeworth's LI.
Dragon Age
Loghain Mac Tir
Loghain is one of my perennial faves, and I really would love anything that explores his regrets, as I'm sure he's got quite a few of them! I particularly enjoy it when characters are allowed to be flawed and biased, the way Loghain so obviously is. I love Loghain and would love any exploration of him throughout the canon timeline. Stories set during or after The Stolen Throne? Fantastic! Or during Origins? Also great! Or in Loghain’s Warden years leading up to him being left in the Fade? Or surviving nonetheless because the Maker isn't so kind as to let him die, even after all this time?
Gen is of course welcomed, and I am also open to literally any Loghain ship except for Loghain/Anora.
Want to explore the tragedy of Loghain's relationships with Rowan and/or Maric? Please be my guest! Did Celia know, if Loghain was involved with his old friends during his marriage? Did she approve? Or not? Was she involved?
Or what about Ser Cauthrien? Gotta love a loyal deputy. Or perhaps Morrigan — is he Kieran's father, and do the two of them reconvene during the Inquisition-era? Speaking of the Inquisition-era, he and Hawke bicker like an old married couple in the Fade. Do they bond over their shared regrets? I can't help but think a red or purple Hawke who sided with the Templars would have a lot in common, what with the whole "saved their country once, fucked it up the second time around" thing.
Speaking of siding with the Templars, I can't help but think him and Meredith would also have a lot in common if they ever met. I don't care what has to be done to make it work: Meredith can survive and join the Inqusition, or join the Wardens, or whatever.
And while I'm on the topic of ladies with swords, consider: Cassandra. I think they would also have a lot in common, too. They're both very 'I see what needs to be done and do it' types of people. And we all know Loghain likes a lady who's skilled with her sword.
EVEN MORE characters I'm partial to shipping Loghain with: Stroud (he might be Orlesian, but who can resist that moustache), Blackwall (TRAGEDY), Eamon (listen I just have a Loghain hatesex agenda okay), Howe (ditto). When I say I will read anything, I mean anything.
And please feel free to explore multiple relationships in one fic if that's the type of story you wish to tell!
Meredith Stannard
Even though Meredith is very much positioned as the villain of Dragon Age 2, I can't help but feel her life has been shaped by tragedy, which led to her very black-and-white views (the lyrium idol probably didn't help either, but I digress).
I'm very interested in 'living long enough to see yourself become the villain' narratives and would love any exploration of Meredith's rise to power and her subsequent downfall. Particular points of interest to me are reflections upon how what happened to her sister and family affected her world view, how her mentor in the Templars, Ser Wentworth Knell, influenced her, her involvement in the coup that led to Dumar being installed as viscount of Kirkwall, or honestly, her point of view of any of the events during DA2!
If canon divergence is more your cup of tea, I'd love anything where Meredith ends up surviving the events of the game somehow and must make amends for her actions, or alternatively, the situation in DA2 is somehow averted because somebody magically (ha... maybe not) makes Meredith see reason (or smashes Certainty to pieces, I'm not picky).
My favourite Meredith characters to ship Meredith with are Cullen (shared pity and fear of mages! the admiration to disappointment timeline!, Female Hawke (let them rule Kirkwall together with iron fists...), or Orsino (two sides of the side coin! bickering! tethered to each others' sides by circumstance! the potential for betrayal).
That being said, gen is of course very welcomed, as are any Meredith rarepairs you could possibly think of, or ships with OCs... I am HERE for it. And love triangles or polyamory is great, too: just give me messy relationships and I will eat them up with a SPOON!
Harry Potter
Hermione Granger/Percy Weasley
I feel like Percy and Hermione have a lot in common, but a lot of differences as well. They’re both rule abiding, but to different extremes. Hermione is quicker to bend the rules in face of injustice, whereas Percy has a slower boiling point. I'd especially enjoy if their respective complicated relationships with their families came up! I’ve requested this pairing for a couple of themed exchanges recently — I’ve copied my favourite freeforms & related thoughts here in case you’re in search of extra prompts!
Mass Effect Trilogy
Miranda Lawson
I love Miranda and how she tries so hard to be perfect and is still yet so refreshingly human, with all the foibles that entails. I’d love pre-canon stuff exploring her getting involved with Ceberus, her thoughts on the Lazarus project, on her teammates, exploration of her relationship with her family, on her perfect genes, or anything, really!
Any Miranda ships are welcome; I'm most familiar with Miranda/Female Shepard and Miranda/Jack, but if you've been hankering to write the Miranda rarepair of your dreams, then PLEASE be my guest. (Love triangles and/or polyamory welcome, too: feel free to make any relationships as straightforward or messy as you like!)
Prompts: Miranda dealing with the fallout from the ending of ME3 (whichever ending that might be), sibling bonding times with Oriana, exploration of her greatest fear or her greatest triumph (or both!)
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Alec Ryder
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. For art, I'd prefer for his default appearance to be kept.
If you choose to pair him with anyone, I just ask that you avoid Dr. Carlyle, but other than that, let your mind run wild with possibilities!
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.
I've also gone into a bit more detail regarding my two favourite Alec ships below, but as said previously, gen is fine, as well as is writing multiple ships into the one story, if that's where your imagination takes you!
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 into the fact that Ellen is still alive? How does she feel when he revives her?
I'm happy for Ellen's reaction to be anything ranging between 'of course my stupid, stubborn, loving husband would do this, and I didn't expect anything otherwise', to betrayal and anger. I tend to see their relationship as founded on mutual admiration for the other's scientific curiosity, as well as the shared experiences of being together so many years. Otherwise, they can be as rocky or as solid as you like!
Cora Harper/Alec Ryder
I love their interactions (even despite how little of it we see in game), and I have read the Mass Effect: Initiation novel, so I’d love anything building upon what we see in that book, or alternatively, your own take on their pre-Andromeda relationship! If it's from Alec's POV, I would especially love some exploration or reference to the guilt he feels for cheating on Ellen (even if everyone else thinks she's dead, Alec knows the truth, and he always struck me as the rather devoted sort).
Prompts: Cora looking up to Alec as a mentor, bonding between the two, Cora’s feelings on being second-in-command, an AU where Alec doesn’t die and how does that affect his relationship with Cora?
Schitt's Creek
Alexis Rose
Schitt's Creek is one of my newest fannish loves, and from the very first episode, I whole-heartedly adored Alexis. I love how her confidence contrasts with her brother's anxiety, and yet despite her brashness, she still makes the best of the circumstances that face her family and improves her own life, and learns to be a little less selfish along the way.
I also can't help but think that she's just a tad more traumatised than she lets on: she's spent a lot of her life getting trapped in (but eventually escaping) extremely unsafe situations, and laughs them off as a joke, and seems ignorant of the effect her constant endangerment has on the people around her. I'd love to see anything that digs deeper into brain and shows us how she ticks. In a similar vein, I'd also be interested in seeing any neurodivergency headcanons you might have for her (I headcanon her as an undiagnosed autistic myself, but am down to see other interpretations)! Anywhere in the range from it simply being coded in the work to being explicitly explored through formal channels, I am here for.
If you're in the mood to create something lighter, I'm also down for stories of Alexis getting down or up to shenanigans, whether that be in the past or post-canon! (Or during canon!) I love everyone in this show, so please feel to go with whatever Alexis-centric ideas you might have (including any ship(s) that strike your fancy).
Suits
Louis Litt
I recently rewatched Suits and oops, Louis Litt has a vice-grip on my heart again. What I find most relatable about him is his confusion and frustration with seeing other people bend the rules but it always blowing up in his face when he tries. And oh god, does he try.
Since this is a recently-reignited interest of mine, I don't have much in the way of specific ideas, but I'm down for gen of Louis, exploring his relationships with literally anyone, or if you want to write something shippy, I'm down for that too! The characters I like seeing Louis interact with the most in canon include (but are not limited to!): Harvey, Mike, Nigel, Jessica and Katrina.
My favourite Louis character arc is basically everything that happens between Louis getting fired and then becoming name partner (and then those early days as name partner where there's still all that tension), but if a different point of canon strikes your fancy more, please go where your heart takes you. 💖
I look forward to seeing 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.

-casefic wherein Franziska has to solve a murder of a loved one
-Franziska’s reaction to Phoenix’s disbarment
Particular ships I have thoughts on (but please don't feel limited to just these)!
Franziska von Karma/Adrian Andrews
I tend to conceptualise them as having a rocky, but loving relationship, the kind where they want to be the best person they can for each other, but that the growth they require simply isn't possible within their dynamic without a lot of work.
Prompts: pre-ship pining, Adrian and/or Franziska coming to terms with their sexuality (whatever wlw identity that might be), meeting Adrian’s parents and the complications that come with that, reconnecting at a later date in the future and reflecting upon their past relationship.
Adrian Andrews/Franziska von Karma/Maya Fey
Filed under: Franziska von Karma has two hands. I love healthy polyamory, and for the purposes of this prompt I would prefer that all three are romantically involved with one another, although of course the way each person relates to the other will differ.
Prompts: creative use of the whip, Maya and Franziska bolstering Adrian's confidence when she starts feeling insecure, the three of them planning another character's wedding. (Feel free to have the married parties be whoever you like -- or hell, maybe they're planning their own wedding!)
Franziska von Karma/Apollo Justice
A beloved little rarepair of mine. Is Franziska intrigued by the idea of Phoenix having his own mentee? Does Apollo find Franziska's domineering attitude annoying and yet a bit arousing? Do they somehow get to talking at some event and bond over complicated family dynamics?
Franziska von Karma/Dick Gumshoe
I just love how Gumshoe has a lot of genuine respect for Franziska, even though he would probably concede she could stand to treat people a bit more nicely. I especially love how Franziska ended up wearing his coat im JFA! (and he clearly got it back, so how did that transpire?)
Prompts: submission as an act of trust, a discussion about Edgeworth, creative used of the whip.
Franziska von Karma/Ema Skye
Did someone say hyper-competency? I just love the mental image of these two solving crimes together and then getting home and working through their excess energy. Or, if post-canon isn't quite your jam, I really like the idea of Franziska supporting Ema with her studies and basically being the best cheerleader for her partner.
Possible ideas: celebrating after Ema passes her forensics exam, having sex at the workplace (or a crime scene), sexual uses of a whip (maybe Fran has a different one (or more) for the bedroom? Up to you!), and just to wrap this up with something completely different: one or the other of them is murdered and the other one is determined to solve it.
Franziska von Karma/Klavier Gavin
Child genius meets child genius! I have a very soft spot for this rarepair and would love any exploration of them as a couple, from getting together to being in an established relationship.
Prompts: bonding over their commonalities: perfectionism, being teen geniuses, having murderous relatives and the complications that come with that, both being prosecutors and their different styles, Franziska at one of Klavier’s concerts, solving a crime together, trying for a baby, poking fun at Klavier’s name.
Franziska von Karma/Lana Skye
Look, they're both prosecutors and I feel like Lana could be a really good influence on Franziska seeing as she tends to be steadier and stoic in times of distress as opposed to Franziska's fire. How do they meet? How do they get together? What effect does Lana's time in prison have on her and their relationship?
Prompts: tender spring-time kisses, interacting with each other's families, mourning dead loved ones, changing career trajectories, kink negotiation, Franziska relinquishing control in the bedroom, creative uses of the whip.
Franziska von Karma/Mia Fey
I have loved the idea of these two ever since seeing the cattiness of their interactions in the second game. Whatever you have to do to get these two together to interact more (spirit-channelling, Mia doesn't die AU?) I'm here for it.
Prompts: Franziska tries to take control of a situation and Mia shows her how to really handle the reins, solving a case together, musings on what it means to be an attorney, arguments that lead to kissing.
Franziska von Karma/Miles Edgeworth
I like to imagine these two as a co-dependent mess wherein Franziska ruthlessly pursues Miles to make him submit to her as a show of dominance, and Miles relents because (outwardly) it’s no skin off his nose, and he wants her to be happy, but on the inside, the guilt is eating him up!! Honestly, though, content for this pairing is so sparse I will welcome any take on them.
Prompts: drunken sex after Manfred’s funeral, working a case together (fraught with tension), somehow managing to build a relatively healthy life together despite all the challenges in their way.
Franziska von Karma/Miles Edgeworth/Phoenix Wright
I love the three of them together, but I'd also very much enjoy a V centered on Phoenix. How do Franziska and Miles navigate their feelings for the same man? Is Franziska jealous of Phoenix's history with Edgeworth? How did they get into this arrangement (whatever form it might take?) While I'm absolutely down for the three of them having sex together, I'd also be super into a take where Franziska and Miles spend some time basically getting really competitive with Phoenix until they sort out what's happening :,)
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 be believed, she was looking forward to whipping Phoenix silly upon seeing him again in T&T...
Prompts: begrudging respect, helping Phoenix through the aftermath of his disbarment, Franziska and Phoenix raising Trucy together, messy co-dependency culminating in a realisation they’re better off apart.
Franziska von Karma/Shi-Long Lang
I love how much respect these two have for one another, especially given Lang's historic distrust of prosecutors and Franziska superiority complex over... everyone. I enjoy the idea of Franziska having a healthy relationship that isn't so heavily marred by the complications of her interactions with other lawyers and her family.
Prompts: Franziska undertaking a case in Zheng Fa, celebrating birthdays, pregnancy, discussing family and what it means to them, investigating a murder together.
Morgan Fey
Morgan is such a complex and layered character, and I'd love anything exploring how she became who she is today. There are so many complicated feelings to explore here, and there are so many questions on my mind I'd love investigated. There are sure to be no easy answers, but that's what makes them fascinating!
Does Morgan feel burdened with the expectation she'll raise Maya? Was she even asked, or is it simply assumed that as a member of the branch family, she'll acquiesce to the Master's whims? How does giving birth to Pearl change Morgan's relationship with Maya — did Morgan's vengeful feelings predate the awakening of Pearl's spiritual powers, or are they are a response to it? How did she feel when her first husband left her and took their daughters? Angry? Relieved?
How was Morgan and Misty's relationship growing up? Did Misty make a big deal out of having spiritual powers while Morgan did not, or did she try to keep her abilities on the downlow? Does Morgan resent not having spiritual powers, or just power? Is her desire to have her own blood become Master based solely on her own entitlement as the eldest daughter, or does she possess genuine concerns about Misty's leadership and decision-making capabilities?
Feel free to include any ships that strike your fancy, or focus on platonic relationships, or simply Morgan herself.

I love leaning into all the mentor/student tropes, especially guilt over their attraction to one another. Miles convincing himself that he’s somehow led Manfred down the path of debauchery would be amazing, if you’re so inclined.

Particular points of interest to me are reflections upon how what happened to her sister and family affected her world view, how her mentor in the Templars, Ser Wentworth Knell, influenced her, her involvement in the coup that led to Dumar being installed as viscount of Kirkwall, or honestly, her point of view of any of the events during DA2!
If canon divergence is more your cup of tea, I'd love anything where Meredith ends up surviving the events of the game somehow and must make amends for her actions, or alternatively, the situation in DA2 is somehow averted because somebody magically (ha... maybe not) makes Meredith see reason (or smashes Certainty to pieces, I'm not picky).
My favourite Meredith characters to ship Meredith with are Cullen (shared pity and fear of mages! the admiration to disappointment timeline!, Female Hawke (let them rule Kirkwall together with iron fists...), or Orsino (two sides of the side coin! bickering! tethered to each others' sides by circumstance! the potential for betrayal).
That being said, gen is of course very welcomed, as are any Meredith rarepairs you could possibly think of, or ships with OCs... I am HERE for it. And love triangles or polyamory is great, too: just give me messy relationships and I will eat them up with a SPOON!
Harry Potter
Hermione Granger/Percy Weasley
I feel like Percy and Hermione have a lot in common, but a lot of differences as well. They’re both rule abiding, but to different extremes. Hermione is quicker to bend the rules in face of injustice, whereas Percy has a slower boiling point. I'd especially enjoy if their respective complicated relationships with their families came up! I’ve requested this pairing for a couple of themed exchanges recently — I’ve copied my favourite freeforms & related thoughts here in case you’re in search of extra prompts!
Alternate Universe
ALL: BDSM AU
ALL: Being married to each other is a job requirement in their line of work
I'm just weak for all these pairings, and would love to see something where either Ministry employees are given a dom/sub designation upon employment in the Ministry, or all senior employees are doms of their subordinates, or heck, something where designations are a feature of the wider wizarding world as well. Alternatively, anything where people are required to be married as part of their work is like, a direct line to my id, and I can see Percy having a lot of mixed feelings about it, as someone who values both family and work highly (and has a lot of canonical conflict about it).
That being said, if you'd prefer to set something outside of the Ministry, I'm down for that too. Sell it to me!

Mass Effect Trilogy
Miranda Lawson
I love Miranda and how she tries so hard to be perfect and is still yet so refreshingly human, with all the foibles that entails. I’d love pre-canon stuff exploring her getting involved with Ceberus, her thoughts on the Lazarus project, on her teammates, exploration of her relationship with her family, on her perfect genes, or anything, really!
Any Miranda ships are welcome; I'm most familiar with Miranda/Female Shepard and Miranda/Jack, but if you've been hankering to write the Miranda rarepair of your dreams, then PLEASE be my guest. (Love triangles and/or polyamory welcome, too: feel free to make any relationships as straightforward or messy as you like!)
Prompts: Miranda dealing with the fallout from the ending of ME3 (whichever ending that might be), sibling bonding times with Oriana, exploration of her greatest fear or her greatest triumph (or both!)
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Alec Ryder
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. For art, I'd prefer for his default appearance to be kept.
If you choose to pair him with anyone, I just ask that you avoid Dr. Carlyle, but other than that, let your mind run wild with possibilities!
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.
I've also gone into a bit more detail regarding my two favourite Alec ships below, but as said previously, gen is fine, as well as is writing multiple ships into the one story, if that's where your imagination takes you!
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 into the fact that Ellen is still alive? How does she feel when he revives her?
I'm happy for Ellen's reaction to be anything ranging between 'of course my stupid, stubborn, loving husband would do this, and I didn't expect anything otherwise', to betrayal and anger. I tend to see their relationship as founded on mutual admiration for the other's scientific curiosity, as well as the shared experiences of being together so many years. Otherwise, they can be as rocky or as solid as you like!
Cora Harper/Alec Ryder
I love their interactions (even despite how little of it we see in game), and I have read the Mass Effect: Initiation novel, so I’d love anything building upon what we see in that book, or alternatively, your own take on their pre-Andromeda relationship! If it's from Alec's POV, I would especially love some exploration or reference to the guilt he feels for cheating on Ellen (even if everyone else thinks she's dead, Alec knows the truth, and he always struck me as the rather devoted sort).
Prompts: Cora looking up to Alec as a mentor, bonding between the two, Cora’s feelings on being second-in-command, an AU where Alec doesn’t die and how does that affect his relationship with Cora?
Schitt's Creek
Alexis Rose
Schitt's Creek is one of my newest fannish loves, and from the very first episode, I whole-heartedly adored Alexis. I love how her confidence contrasts with her brother's anxiety, and yet despite her brashness, she still makes the best of the circumstances that face her family and improves her own life, and learns to be a little less selfish along the way.
I also can't help but think that she's just a tad more traumatised than she lets on: she's spent a lot of her life getting trapped in (but eventually escaping) extremely unsafe situations, and laughs them off as a joke, and seems ignorant of the effect her constant endangerment has on the people around her. I'd love to see anything that digs deeper into brain and shows us how she ticks. In a similar vein, I'd also be interested in seeing any neurodivergency headcanons you might have for her (I headcanon her as an undiagnosed autistic myself, but am down to see other interpretations)! Anywhere in the range from it simply being coded in the work to being explicitly explored through formal channels, I am here for.
If you're in the mood to create something lighter, I'm also down for stories of Alexis getting down or up to shenanigans, whether that be in the past or post-canon! (Or during canon!) I love everyone in this show, so please feel to go with whatever Alexis-centric ideas you might have (including any ship(s) that strike your fancy).
Suits
Louis Litt
I recently rewatched Suits and oops, Louis Litt has a vice-grip on my heart again. What I find most relatable about him is his confusion and frustration with seeing other people bend the rules but it always blowing up in his face when he tries. And oh god, does he try.
Since this is a recently-reignited interest of mine, I don't have much in the way of specific ideas, but I'm down for gen of Louis, exploring his relationships with literally anyone, or if you want to write something shippy, I'm down for that too! The characters I like seeing Louis interact with the most in canon include (but are not limited to!): Harvey, Mike, Nigel, Jessica and Katrina.
My favourite Louis character arc is basically everything that happens between Louis getting fired and then becoming name partner (and then those early days as name partner where there's still all that tension), but if a different point of canon strikes your fancy more, please go where your heart takes you. 💖
