PH 6
Recipient: eyeballboba
Fandom: Ladykiller In a Bind
Characters: Group: The Swimmer/The Photographer, Group: The Prince/The Photographer, Group: The Boy/The Prince, Group: The Beast/The Photographer
Genres: AU - Canon Divergence, Canon-Style Plot - Freeform, Character Development, Established Relationship, Getting Together, Humor, Hurt/Comfort, Interpersonal Drama, Slice of Life, Darkfic

DNWs: PIV sex, adult/minor, incest, extreme underage (under 13), rule 63

I'm very fond of character-driven narratives. I'm more fond of character/worldbuilding/weirdness-driven than plot-driven in general, and I like darkfic. Prompts below are optional--please feel free to follow your own ideas.

This canon is pretty much all about the characters' tangled relationships and I wouldn't mind an extension of that (relationships that are not specifically requested are welcome!). Maybe an exploration what social situation led up to the weirdness we saw in the game?

For the specific relationships I've requested, I'll describe what I like:

The Beast/The Photographer: How dangerous her scenes feel. The Photographer seems safe on the surface, but she's one to gain someone's trust her and then be utterly terrifying and ruthless about it. Pouring alcohol down the Beast as she sputters and chokes. Casually revealing that she knows the Beast is a fake and not actually the Prince as the Beast is pinned underneath her. Blackmailing her for it afterwards. What the fuck is going on with her?

The Swimmer/The Photographer: Conversations about drowning in the Swimmer and hedonism. A smooth front that's good enough to drown in that's full of misdirections. The Photographer being the type of person who would plot with the Swimmer about revenge leading-on The Prince, while knowing that "The Prince" is actually the Beast without telling her. And also going behind the Swimmer's back to get something she wants from the Beast in exchange for possibly falsely-promised emotional revenge after. The Swimmer knowing less and being less observant about her own ex than the Photographer is.

The Boy/The Prince: OH BOY. The Boy taking after the Prince's dresses and Machiavellian tendencies where after turning on the Beast he thinks the Prince would be proud of him for turning out to be as manipulative as he taught him. Whatever relationship they had that led them to that. The Boy being submissive at baseline but taking cues from the Prince to build up a backbone made of manipulation in the worst asshole doormat way possible. And, of course, how they used to smoke weed and kiss in dresses a long time ago.

The Prince/The Photographer: Their styles of manipulation are a bit different: The Prince is ruthless but his charm is all surface level, and strikes me as someone who doesn't know what he's doing and that's why he ended up with so many easily-avoided enemies, while the Photographer has a huge following and is better at not obviously being off-putting. They seem to have a lot of mutual respect and/or detente, which is interesting.


Fandom: Hollow Knight (Video Games)
Characters: The Pale King (Hollow Knight), The Radiance (Hollow Knight), Herrah the Beast (Hollow Knight), Mantis Lords (Hollow Knight)
Genres: Worldbuilding, Canon-Style Plot - Freeform, Angst, Darkfic, Fantasy, Horror, Interpersonal Drama, Mystery/Procedural, Science Fiction

DNWs: PIV sex, adult/minor, incest, extreme underage (under 13), rule 63

I'm very fond of character-driven narratives. I'm more fond of character/worldbuilding/weirdness-driven than plot-driven in general, and I like darkfic. Prompts below are optional--please feel free to follow your own ideas.

I could make a request for every character in this game and being restricted to four was such a challenge. I would appreciate any character in a fic, including unmentioned ones, if you think they'd be interesting. I also think pre-apocalyptic OCs would be cool!

I love bugs and bug biology, and Hollow Knight's tone and WTF-style humor (looking at you Grubfather and Millibelle and the corpse kitchen and the many, many cannibalism mentions) makes me think it lends itself well to weird bug social customs. (How does a bug survive in a world full of bug-eating?)

Herrah the Beast

Why, ultimately, did she trade her life for having a Hornet? Deepnest fascinates me as it's a civilization of spiders in a world populated by insects, and they sure seem hostile to the rest of Hallownest. They violently resisted the rule of the Pale King, so was it the end times that suggested partnerships? But to leave the entirety of Deepnest in the claws of a young half-wyrm baby? Why? Hornet doesn't seem especially tied down to Deepnest either for all her chasing and trying to kill you.

Mantis Lords

Mantises resist the infection! Why? They attack all that approach with murderous intent but bow to those strong enough to slay their way in and defeat the Lords. I left behind so many sundered mantis parts on my run but they don't seem to mind once I proved myself. What is a Lord to a mantis warrior or a mantis youth? How do they maintain clear minds?

The Pale King

The Pale King seems to have taken his form to be more worldly to the followers, but the ones in the White Palace are disturbingly servile to him. I think it's interesting how other higher beings seem to have created their citizens (like Radiance/moths, Unn/mosskin), but the only things the Pale King seem to have made are some White Palace inhabitants (like the Kingsmould) and the Vessels, while Hallownest citizens seem be ordinary bugs, or at least lack the paleness of his other creations. And several civilizations have had intelligence before his appearance, like the spiders, the mantises, and those outside the Kingdom's Edge, despite the proclamation of "taming our savage souls" in the Elegy to Hallownest.

Soul, which is very related to the Pale King/White Lady through the limitless Kingsoul, seems to have a sinister side with the existence of Soul-warped Follies and Mistakes. Or perhaps the Soul Tyrant's quote of "the answer was in the soul that animates our bodies" implies that they're all related to the Pale King through some form of creation. Or perhaps-- since soul is harvested from still-living bugs and the corpses of bugs, and the Kingsoul is an endless fountain of Soul... could that imply that that's the point of the Pale King's followers, or perhaps he's built up such a bank of Soul that it's considered endless? What role could the Snail Shamans, whose culture seems to be heavily influenced by soul, play? Was Soul something given to bugs or something that always existed or taxed or was it some way to control them? What is the nature of a wyrm's thrall?

The Radiance

Dawning. By the time the game starts, most of the population of Hallownest is dead or turned into zombies. An interesting note is that the style guide said not to include any sun-related time words like "day", because the Radiance represents the sun.

Despite the Seer's idea that "this kingdom was born from [the] betrayal" of forgetting the Radiance... even those that choose to remember/worship the Radiance like the Moss Prophet die once you achieve the Monarch Wings (which also corresponds with the Crossroads becoming infected and the tiny flies transforming into huge explosive glowing demon vultures). Was it trying to defend herself by any means necessary? (Even by spending the lives of those that did remember?)

I'm a bit charmed by her dream nail dialogue as well, with rather readable phrases like "...I DO NOT FEAR YOU..." and "...I WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN..." and "...LET ME BE FREE..." and "...ANCIENT ENEMY..." unlike the grammarless dialogues infected enemies have. Being forgotten seems to be less literal than whether physical, living bugs are there to remember her or not. I wonder what makes a higher being a higher being.

The Seer, last living member of the Moth Tribe, also hands the method to kill the Radiance to the player character as "penitence for old crimes"... I wonder what those crimes could be?

How did bugs react to the infection when it was in its starting stages? How did it spread?

An interpretation of the threads we got in canon in the form of longform fic would be appreciated!

Fandom: Pokemon Reborn (Video Game)
Characters: Group: Fern/Any, Group: Amaria/Any, Group: Adrienn/Any, Group: Adrienn & Any
Genres: Action/Adventure, AU - Canon Divergence, Character Development, Darkfic, AU - Modern/Mundane, AU - Genre Shift, Established Relationship, Fix-it fic, Fluff, Getting Together, Horror, Hurt/Comfort, Interpersonal Drama, Slice of Life, Worldbuilding

DNWs: PIV sex, adult/minor, incest, extreme underage (under 13), rule 63. If you include Adrienn please use xyr canon pronouns!

I'm very fond of character-driven narratives. I'm more fond of character/worldbuilding/weirdness-driven than plot-driven in general, and I like darkfic. Prompts below are optional--please feel free to follow your own ideas.

Amaria/Any: Loved the game's contrast of the competent, charismatic, powerful gym leader who bails you out of trouble and the emotional disaster ball who threatens and attempts suicide after she accidentally learns of the secret. Titania who got pressured into starting a relationship she didn't want because Amaria's suicide attempts would have her kill herself otherwise, and the ensuing memory shenanigans meaning that Titania would either have to keep her secret longer or watch Amaria try to kill herself again. Amaria knowing deep down knows that Titania doesn't love her, and still trying to make her stay to the point of attempted murder on her behalf. This canon's stuffed to the brim with characters so having someone else there to Amaria to latch onto, or perhaps make a healthy relationship with, may be interesting...?

Fern/Any: He has an incredible superiority complex and him making the player character beg him was entertaining. I think his speech about Corey being weak and natural selection is especially interesting since you'll spend the entire game wiping the floor with him in every battle. Also, I found everyone hating him amusing, and I'd think it'd be funny to see him try to suffer through a relationship with someone.

Adrienn: Xe is the nicest character in this entire game. I really like how xe encourages the player character in xyr gym battle, and xyr sheer friendliness and enthusiasm at getting you to succeed is a fresh contrast in the game full of miserable people. Adrienn's managed to revitalize an entire city, how will xe handle individual people?

Fandom: Uncommon Time (Video Game)
Characters: Group: Teagan Almace & Aubrey Spica, Group: Contralto Cantabile & Otowa Meirin & Totoki Saki, Aubrey Spica (Uncommon Time), Teagan Almace (Uncommon Time), Group: Contralto Cantabile/Any, Group: Contralto Cantabile & Teagan Almace, Contralto Cantabile (Uncommon Time)
Genres: Action/Adventure, AU - Canon Divergence, Character Development, Established Relationship, Fix-it fic, Interpersonal Drama, Angst, Darkfic, Fantasy, Horror, Slice of Life, Worldbuilding

DNWs: PIV sex, adult/minor, incest, extreme underage (under 13), rule 63. If you include Aubrey please use their canon pronouns!

I'm very fond of character-driven narratives. I'm more fond of character/worldbuilding/weirdness-driven than plot-driven in general, and I like darkfic. Prompts below are optional--please feel free to follow your own ideas.

Group: Contralto Cantabile/Any

The heroine of the story, and ultimately the one who decides the fate of the friend group (and the entire world). Will they live or die? ... Could things have been different, if it was her and someone else and the end of the world? Could it have been better? (It's hard to imagine it being any worse.)

Teagan Almace

It's hard for me to dislike someone when every other character and the narrative dislikes said person so much. Her preferences get run over a lot, clothes or food or trying to run a performance that won't end the world out of incompetence or not ending the world after the fact. And in the end, even at her worst, Teagan's violence comes from being pushed to that point after getting assaulted by someone trying to force her to listen, rather than as something she's owed by the world.

Group: Contralto Cantabile & Teagan Almace

They're friends... and Alto hates Teagan, but it has to be her. Why? What was their friendship like when they were kids? How did it become the disaster it was in canon? Alto was much more restricted then, so could either of them have behaved differently?

Aubrey Spica

Sad suicidal starchild. It's kind of a shame everyone had to know since maybe it'd been better for them to forget rather than have it immortalized in Uncommon Times, but then again, if it's stuck to their soul, did they ever have a chance? They're just so awful for making everyone they care about worry about them. Don't forget, and don't forget that they're still might be just using Alto, the first warm body that came along. After all-- haven't they worried everyone enough already? That kind of stuff doesn't just go away. They'll have to try extra hard to not worry everyone else to make up for it. Only sticks in their future. But it's okay. It's what they deserve. That's the price for living after trying to die. Maybe... maybe they're not happy about it, but it's never in any meaningful way. They're just petty. They wouldn't dare get into her way. Not with what they've done already. In canon it's out of love. Is it?

I also really appreciate them having dysphoria and their approach to androgyny, just as a side.

Group: Contralto Cantabile & Otowa Meirin & Totoki Saki

Giving, taking away, the fate decided one on person's whims-- it's so much easier to think it's not in your control at all, isn't it? You had no future and you had nothing to look forward to and for a little bit it looked a bit brighter in each other's eyes... but wanting that brighter isn't a thing you can have in a situation like this. You have no control. That's not a bad thing!! She's your friend, and she should get to decide! It's not like you've never seen something alluring in that darkness yourself. That's why it's okay...

Your friend, arbiter of fates, your...

Group: Teagan Almace & Aubrey Spica

Aubrey's closed off, Teagan's not going after people who don't make themselves heard. They don't talk much during the game. When Aubrey does start talking to Teagan, it's the same stuff as everyone else... but, hey, that was also after Aubrey learned to open up to the rest of the group, huh? To be more connected, like everyone else?

And if they really did fall in love with the first person who'd woke them up... if it could have been anyone, not Alto in particular...

This fandom, as a whole, is better for relationships than individuals stewing in themselves imo!

General likes: music worldbuilding, what-ifs, different interpretations of canon

Genres: Canon-Style Plot - Freeform, AU - Canon Divergence, Smut, Worldbuilding

Fandom: French Revolution RPF
Characters: Joseph Fouché (French Revolution RPF), Jean-Paul Marat (French Revolution RPF)

These two were two of the smartest people with the most information in the French Revolution. They only overlapped in Paris for a little under a year. Marat, known for predicting things very accurately and being right almost all the time, must have been astute enough to see something of Fouche's personality and future. Did he share any advice or predictions or information? What did Fouche think of Marat as well?

Genres: Canon-Style Plot - Freeform, Mystery/Procedural, Worldbuilding
Letter: http://lirin-lirilla.dreamwidth.org/31542.html

Do Neal & Kat end up working together on a heist...or are they both going after the same thing? Does a Chelovek Pseudonima come into things?

Does Ben recruit Neal to help him forge something? Or was he always the "crime is bad" one for as long as they've known each other & Neal thinks he's a total hypocrite when he hears about the Declaration heist?

Is it "Peter" or "Spider-Man" who meets "Neal" or "Nick Halden" (or some other alias)? Do their paths cross multiple times in different identities, and if so how long does it take for them to figure that out?

How much do Monica & her Skrull friend know about Middle-earth before they fall in, and how do they interfere once they get there?

Carol & Casey just chatting about their lives (while trespassing on government property), or an AU where Carol's a NASA astronaut.

For both Illyan & Karrde, knowledge = power. What happens when one of them falls through a wormhole into the other's universe & all that knowledge is suddenly useless?

How do the Hodbins & the Pevensies find out each others' secrets? Or, an AU where they're both evacuated to the same place.

Lots more in my letter!

Letter: http://lirin-lirilla.dreamwidth.org/31542.html

Richard patching up Francis post-Hexham was very iddy for me, and the swordfight was pretty great too. I'd love any excuse for more of the above, or something where the tables are turned and it's Francis taking care of Richard, or something where they're reluctantly working together while still not liking each other very much.

I love how capable & loyal & clever Christian Stewart is, and I'd love to see her get together with Francis. Whether it's a fix-it for Game of Kings or something later (I'd love a canon-divergence AU of some of the events of Queens' Play with her involved), or just them bonding over their love of music for thousands of words.

(It's been a while since I've read anything other than Game of Kings & Queens' Play; you're welcome to set your story during any of the books, but just be aware that I may not remember every detail of the other books. Conversely, you're welcome to write something based only on Game of Kings and need not have even read the other books.)

The Hodbins and Eileen (aka Merope) and the vicar all being a family together! Whether right after the war or a decade later.

The "meanwhile back in the 21st century" team! What do they get up to during the closure of the net in All Clear, and what are they working on?

How do Polly and Colin move from what they have in the books to a real, workable relationship, and what do they do with their lives now that they're no longer in crisis mode?

T.J., my favorite comp sci major! Does he do more work with the Waterloo sims, and does he get a published paper/thesis/whatever out of it? Does he ever go back in time himself? Is he involved from the 21st-century side on the events of Blackout/All Clear?

DNW: permanent character death of requested characters or of characters who don't die in canon (being thought dead for most of a fic is fine); quarantines or epidemics; character embarrassment as more than a passing mention; sexual content (kissing or fade to black is fine with me, but I'd prefer if nothing more than that happens "on screen")
Hurt/comfort-specific DNWs: Open fractures; amputation or other permanent injuries/maiming; injury to groin/genitals; medically-accurate handling of amnesia & head injuries (I prefer if it's handled along the lines of TVTropes' "Easy Amnesia")

I love the way these three get on together, especially in "That Stands for Pool" and "The Gordon Caper" where all three of them do some really boneheaded things but by their powers combined they're able to fix the situation. I'm not a big fan of "getting together"-type stories--I'd rather the plot be about something else and the relationship serve as the backdrop, if that makes sense.

I'm down for slice of life or shenanigans or hurt/comfort or even a little smut, so long as it's not too graphic (a PG-13 instead of an R, if you will).

Letter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c0FqyCWQaM&t
I'm a sucker for 1960s sci-fi featuring characters named Jim and their character actor sidekicks who are perfect for me to project onto.

There's so much that I love about these two--I love their banter, I love that they have two very different specialties but lots of respect for the other, I love that they genuinely care about each other. I love that I love that Jim is essentially the world's worst secret agent because everyone knows his name. I love that Artie is a traditional Renaissance man with a slew of different interests (not unlike the actor who played him...). I love that they can't go more than a few months without running into villains they know personally (Loveless, Valentine, Count Manzepi...)

If you want to go the plot route I loved almost all of the early episodes, especially in season two, with Night(s) of the Returning Dead, Man-Eating House, and Lord of Limbo. If you'd rather go slice-of-life, I absolutely love the Wanderer and imagining what it would be like to actually live in when there's not a case/adventure/night-of going on.

I don't mind things turning darker, but I'd rather have, if not a happy ending, then at least a hopeful one.

I love Archie so much. She's sneaky, fat, unapologetic, plays kinda fast and loose with gender roles and people's expectations... she's all the me I could be! I'd love to hear more about the kinds of swindles she was running prior to "River of Teeth."

I was fascinated with the way she and Adelia interacted. The fact that Adelia went to the trouble of making her a knife out of the hippo that killed Neville and that Archie showed some degree of concern/compassion to Adelia even after the group started becoming suspicious of her says a lot to me. This could be a good place for some canon-divergence, or at least some canon-extending so we get to see the two of them together. If you want to extend past the end of the second book and Houndstooth's ranch dream works out, that would be absolutely amazing.

Letter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c0FqyCWQaM&t

One of the things I love about the pulp version of The Shadow is the fact that there genuinely is no mystical nonsense going on--Allard really is just a guy who's really good at sneaking and shooting. I like his backstory, too--the fact that he fought in the first world war, is an ace pilot, casually befriended a tribe of people and convinced them to back up his story about being a missing person for all those years, it's all really cool compared to the Lamont Cranston story of "Rich guy studies with magical Indians and then does stuff."

I requested the group of Allard and any Xinca because it's fascinating that he was able to just ask these people "Hey, will you pretend I've been here for the last eight years" and they're all "Yeah sure, we've got you." Did they have any motive in any of this, or were they just extremely agreeable? And what about the two who come to New York? Did they want to leave their home? What do they do with themselves when Allard's out running around as Lamont Cranston or The Shadow?

I don't really expect anything from this group because it's awkward that the Xinca are a real people who did really live in Guatemala at the time but it's hard to find any contemporaneous info about them (all I've been able to find is a few partial dictionaries and articles about the Xincas' more modern struggles).

So, I would be perfectly content with just Allard doing his thing, whether that be a casefic or worldbuiilding (how does he keep all those plates spinning, anyway?) or even something more historical like the war years or when he initially went missing.

Kirio Amy/Suzuki Iruma

I love how this relationship starts as this really wholesome friendship and school festival preparation, except Kirio turns out to be a bit messed up and wants to blow up everyone.

I’m okay with the potential story happening at any point in the canon. I would love both a story set before the festival while Kirio is still hiding his true colors or a story set after it. Maybe Iruma runs into Kirio somewhere after he escapes prison and instead of calling an adult, he tries to stop Kirio from causing trouble on his own. As for pre-festival story. Maybe some upperclassmen steal important parts from the club and Iruma and Kirio set out to get them back.

Naberius Callego & Suzuki Iruma

I love Callego for being a much better take on Snape than original Snape ever was. The second the series made Callego Iruma’s familiar I knew this was about to get good. And it was. I love how Callego slowly warms up to Iruma, even if he is still allergic to his and Sullivan’s antics. I love that Callego is actually a competent teacher who cares about his students, but at the same time he would rather eat a whole lemon than admit it out loud.

For prompts, maybe Sullivan ends up having an important business and Opera isn’t available so he dumps looking after Iruma on Callego for a few days. Or Iruma is struggling with studying since so many things are new for him, so Callego ends up forced to help him catch up with the material (if you are following manga inclusion of Balam is always welcome). Or maybe Iruma gets into usual trouble ends up stranded somewhere and the only one he can call for help is his familiar.

Crocell Kerori | Kuromu/Gyari

One of the last thing I expected to get this year was a canonical yuri romance in this manga, but here it is and it’s perfect. I love how it is pretty much built on mutual pining. I love how Kuromu loves Gyari, but refuses to reciprocate her feelings, because she knows that she needs to remain unattainable to keep their relationship alive, and I love how Gyari is never ever going to give up.

I would love to see more of the time when they worked together. We know it was love at the first sight for Gyari, but I would love to see how Kuromu’s feelings grew. Those hours they spent together practicing, maybe a not-date where they sneak together to scout a venue where they will be having their first big concert, or maybe a small contest that would sow the seeds for their future rivalry. I would love any and all of it. Also, Gyari doesn’t seem to be aware of Kuromu’s civilian identity, so I would love a story where Gyari meets Crocell Kerori rather than Kuromu. Does she recognize her? Or does Kerori manage to successfully trick her? Maybe Gyari makes a full investigation after hearing rumors that Kuromu is attending Babylys. I would also love any sort of future fic for those two.

AUs and ships

I love the worldbuilding around the demon world, so I would ask that if you decided to write an AU that it still incorporates demons. I would definitely love an AU where rather than getting summoned to demon world, Iruma accidentally summons either Kirio or Callego into the human world. Maybe Iruma’s parents try to use him as an offering, but instead he ends up bound to a demon. I would love to see Kirio excited to unleash suffering (even if his weak powers severely limit him in that regard) onto human world just to discover that he made contract with the biggest pacifist possible. Or Callego being torn between wanting to return home as soon as possible (he has classes to teach!) and wanting to somehow help the weird human child that just keeps getting into trouble. Any other demon-focused AU is also welcome. For Gyari and Kurmou, maybe one of them is a human who ends up summoning the other as a demon. How different would their relationship be then? I’m also fine with any sort of AU divergences scenario. Maybe Iruma keeps accidentally sabbotaging Kirio’s terrorist plans without realizing it. Or Iruma ends up summoning Callego more often as his familiar when he gets into trouble. What if Gyari also attended Babylys.

As for ships, I’d rather avoid any love triangle scenarios for this canon, so please focus on just one pairing per character (competing for Iruma’s attention is normal for this canon, I’d just rather not see outright romantic competition). It’s self-explainatory for Kirio request, but if you want to include some shipping elements into the other requests I also ship Iruma/Ameli and Callego/Balam.

Natsuki Subaru/Otto Suwen

I would love to see them going on an undercover mission. Maybe they are trying to gather the information about witch cultists. Maybe they need to pretend to be a couple for the sake of their investigation. Or Emilia sends the two of them on a fake mission that actually consists of them visiting places of relaxation to make sure Subaru finally gets a break. And Otto’s mission is to make sure that Subaru actually rests and doesn’t get in trouble, but this proves to be a much more difficult undertaking that he expected.

After first season I had a working theory that Otto is actually a sin archbishop who is pretending to be a normal person for some unknown reasons (or maybe has a split personality). Season two pretty much disproved it, but I still adore that idea and would love anything with it.

Natsuki Subaru & Felix Argyle & Julius Euclius & Reinhard van Astrea

Maybe someone is plotting to harm queen candidates and they join forces to bring them down. Or maybe the queen candidates are busy with some bureaucracy and the bored knights decide to spend a night at town, which ends with all sorts of shenanigans. Maybe Subaru and Julius decide to have some sort of competiton that hilariously goes out of control. Or Reinhardt and Subaru rope everyone into helping some poor grandma, but her straightforward request ends up becoming much more difficult to execute than anyone predicted. Also, at the end of second season Subaru officially became Emilia’s knight and I would love to see other knights throwing an unofficial party for Subaru to celebrate this achievement. Or maybe their planned celebration doesn’t go as planned and Subaru ends up accussed of a crime he didn’t commit. Luckily, there are three very handsome and equally capable knights who believe in him and are willing to help him clear his name.

Roswaal L. Mathers (Re:Zero)

We know that Roswaal attempted to undertake the trial, but was rejected. What if by some quirk of fate Roswaal could undertake the trial. How would it go? Would he be able to accept the past? I would also love a deeper insight into his thought process during the Sanctuary arc, but also earlier arcs. How did he feel about Subaru and other characters? What happened to him after the Subaru failed? (we don’t know if Subaru dying creates new timelines or if there’s one that gets reset, while this prompt leans on former, I’m fine with both interpretations) I would also love to see if maybe Ram had attempted to destroy Roswaal’s book or shown her feelings for him before. On a different note, I would love Roswaal being a bit too interested in Otto (after he had changed the fate written in the book) and trying to figure out how he had achieved that. Honestly, I would love to see Roswaal interact with anyone. You could write him and Reinhard meeting in a bakery and I would love it.

Echidna the Witch (Re:Zero)

I would absolutely love to see Echidna holding trials for other characters. It doesn’t matter who. Maybe Garfiel ends up completing all of them. Or maybe by some twist of fate Otto gains qualification and takes up the trials. Or Ram, or really anybody else. I just loved how personalized the trials were and would love to see them for other characters and what Echidna would think of them. I would also love to see more of her interactions with Subaru. Maybe Subaru makes deal with her, but belatedly realizes it was a bad idea and tries to find a way to break it. I would be also very okay with seeing more of her interactions with other witches. Or Emilia. I will gladly take 5k words of Echidna being completely done with Emilia’s positivity. Maybe Echidna finds a way to escape her deadness, but she needs to enter a contract with Emilia and now she is her familiar like Puck was.

AUs and ships

I would prefer no setting changes for this story. Any other AUs are fine. I especially love Subaru’s reset mechanic, so feel free to abuse that if you want. If you want some AU ideas, maybe another character starts remembering bits and pieces of the reseted timelines.

I like Subaru/Emilia, but the show is doing such a good job with it that I’m not craving more. As such I’m okay with acknowledging Subaru’s canon crush on Emilia, but if you are planning to do any other pairing involving Subaru I would prefer to reframe Subaru’s feelings for her as friendship. I’m also okay with pairing Subaru with pretty much any other guy in the series (especially other queen candidate knights).

Frieren

I love how this manga is a slow-paced fantasy dealing with loss and inevitable passage of time. And I love Frieren for being one of the best depictions of an elf whose long life actually affects their outlook on life and actions.

I would equally love the insight into Frieren’s present with her charges and the past with hero party. What other shenanigans they get into on their journey? What kind of weird magic Frieren pursued? I would love to see more of her mentoring Fern and Stark. I also love to see her interactions with the hero party. Maybe some more insight into how they fought with demons, since Frieren seemed to have picked up a number of enemies during that time. For some more specific prompts: maybe Frieren accidentally stumbles ona cursed item that erases her memories (or just her memories of Himmel). How would it affect her? What would the party do to help her? Or maybe a demon kidnaps someone from Frieren’s party?

Feel free to include any other characters, they are a colorful bunch.

AUs and ships

I’m fine with AUs as long as Frieren’s long lifespan is preserved. Her perspective is very much shaped by how long she has lived, so I wouldn’t want that aspect to change. An AU with mythological creatures or similar could be interesting. I would also love a roleswap where Himmel is an elf, while Frieren is a human, and exploration of how both of them would be affected by having a different lifespan.

I would very much love Himmel/Frieren, though I also enjoy how the manga softly builds on their connection. I also enjoy the budding romance between Fern and Stark.

Maou Sadao/Ashiya Shirou

If Demon Lord’s right hand man/strategist turned into a househusband isn’t one of the most shippy ideas then I don’t know what is. Fics are just writing themselves. I just love seeing utter domesticity and loyalty Sadao and Ashiya have (and trouble they have with their prodigal not-son Urushihara).

I would love to get some insight into their relationship before they had to escape into another world. Maybe Ashiya realizes he is actually happy with the current arrangement and feels shame over indulging himself, while his lord is working hard to earn money and regain their powers. For some more specific prompts, maybe instead of becoming househusband he ends up working in MgRonald’s alongside Sadao. Or maybe while he’s doing shopping he ends up winning a lottery organized by some local shops and receives tickets for an onsen visit for two, so he and Sadao go to have a much deserved break. Or alternatively a story where they don’t get a break and need to face some new enemy.

Maou Sadao/Sasaki Chiho

I love Chiho Sasaki. She’s one of my favourite renditions of a normal person accidentally becomes entangled into a supernatural plot I’ve seen. And amidst it all, I love how she keeps supporting Sadao, even after learning that her MgRonald’s senpai is in fact a demon lord from another world.

I would love to see more of them working together in MgRonald’s. Maybe a precanon story where Chiho is still learning her ropes at MgRonald’s, while Sadao is still not completely used to passing as a human, so he keeps accidentally mentioning things about his demonic past and then has to quickly amend them into something more human. Or maybe a “tragic” story of Chiho who instead of applying to MgRonald’s goes to Sentucky Fired Chicken (I don’t mind changing it so SFC opens earlier than in the canon). Even though Sadao works for the rival store Chiho still falls for him and his impeccable work ethic and so she keeps counting days until her contract ends so she can apply to MgRonald’s instead (bonus points if the Sariel’s plotline happens during that time and Chiho gets increasingly distreased that Sadao will hate her even if she successfully moves to MgRonald’s). Alternatively they both go on some sort of training or charity action for MgRonald’s employees. Or maybe a more fantastical adventure where a new threat appears, so Sadao and Chiho work together to neutralize it.

AUs and ships

I would prefer no setting changes for this story, because this shows premise is just way too good. I’m fine with any other AUs. One slight exception (since it’s a bit of borderline case between a setting and divergence AU) would be that I would love to see Sadao and Chiho working at a coffee shop chain instead of MgRonald’s.

Please only focus on one pairing requested when writing. I’d rather not have a triangle situation and see either Ashiya or Chiho rejected (requested character feeling slight jealousy over Sadao getting along with someone else is fine, I just don’t want a full on rivalry). I’d also rather not see Sadao paired with anyone beside the requested characters.

DNW: explicit sex (makeouts and fade to black is okay), A/B/O, mpreg, rape depicted as positive (so no “it’s okay, because the other person enjoyed it/it was what they truly wanted”), trans headcanons, soulmate AUs, stories ending with surrender to fate/destiny, fourth wall breaking in canons where that doesn’t occur, character has cancer or other real-life terminal disease AU, word “queerplatonic”.
