Chocolate Box 2021 letter
Hello chocolatier!
Let me first say you have great taste in fandoms, and I'm excited by everything here, so I really just can't wait to see what you come up with. If my signup gave you enough to go on already, awesome, don't feel bound to include any of the extras here! If you want some of my thoughts on specific fun things to do with these ships, here they are. It's all optional, it's not comprehensive, and I promise there's no secret "oh they want this request/ship more" meaning intended in the lengths of sections—those first two fandoms just have huge casts, so I collect a correspondingly large number of ships. Whatever ship you're here for, I love it :3

Albedo/Aether
HELP, the Chalk Prince and the Dragon just gave me so many shippy feelings about Albedo and the Traveler. Albedo clearly sees this stranger as such a fascinating and potentially compatible new partner, and he's so alone and his perspective is so unusual, but oh please let them kiss. Optional prompts:
- Albedo trying to capture the essence of What Makes Aether Special through his art, whether that's casual studies of daily life, gesture sketches of him in combat, or more intimate work...
- Additional experiments! What other ways might Aether be different from the people of this world? What if an experimental potion had an unexpected sexy effect?
- Even more experiments! How do you determine what's satisfying to your partner? With a lot of methodical sexual experimentation to determine which kinks produce the best results.
- This is a very shallow request so far, I'm sorry. If you want to do more thoughtful stuff with Albedo's history and how Aether might understand him, please don't feel limited by this.
Aether/Tartaglia
I am HERE FOR enthusiastic fightsexual puppies, so Tartaglia had my number from "hello." But also the way he just seems so magnetically drawn to the Traveler and delighted by him, yes please, it's so good and exciting. (only Aether was nominated i think but if you wanted to do a version with Lumine that's good too.) All that energy, the combination of aggression and delight, the way the traveler can respond to his fight-friend overtures positively, so good! Also, best possible candidate to pull Aether's braid. Optional prompts:
- Comparing scars! Tartaglia throws himself into every challenge he can find, and Aether has been through a lot on Teyvat and elsewhere. Can Aether even tell the stories of his? How does Tartaglia feel about it if not?
- Aether out-stubborns Tartaglia for some hurt/comfort after Tartaglia's story chapter. Make that boy sit down and accept some first aid and kisses.
- The promised rematch! Where they're both doing it just for fun this time. I don't care who wins as long as it's a close match.
- Danger-kinked sex—on the edge of a cliff, in the middle of a domain that's not fully cleared yet, at the end of that rematch...
Any Male Playable Character/Bennett
I am a simple gremlin with simple needs. Bennett is a good good boy and I want somebody to treat him nice, and ideally for something to go well for him for once? Not just in the way where he's determined to see the best of bad situations, but where actually things are okay? gosh. I'm up for friends-becoming-more with one of the other teens or someone he looks up to noticing him with one of the adults. Every new detail in his voicelines and story breaks my heart and I want nice things for him. Thank you. Optional prompts:
- Adventuring with someone and Bennett's tent catches fire! It would be terrible luck, except that the other person invites him to share. There's not much room, but if they're close it'll work!
- He's already so touched by the bandages people have given him; what about somebody offering a liniment for aches and bruises, or a moisturizing cream for uncomfortable scars? And what if that somebody is offering to apply the treatment, not just hand over a jar?
- First kisses, first-time sex, first time getting to cuddle up with someone special and enjoy the sweetness of that touch: all of that kind of thing.
Beidou/Ganyu
First off, Beidou kissing pretty ladies is life-giving. But then she mentions that she and Ganyu "get on like a house on fire" and now I want to see that happen. Beidou is so rowdy and full of swagger, and Ganyu *has* some fighting chops but doesn't seek that out; Beidou's worldly experience comes from traveling, sailing the seas and learning the breadth of the world, where Ganyu's wisdom comes from the long time she's spent in Liyue. They're really neat contrasts and also gorgeous, and also the not-fully-human thing is really neat. I'm making these prompts before playable Ganyu releases, so please don't feel bound by them if something in her new character info/story takes you in a different direction. Optional prompts:
- Sneaking around for a rendezvous that won't be found out! Does Ganyu know why Beidou does this, or does she think Beidou has reasons of her own for hiding their connection?
- Enjoying a night out! Do they go drinking at a tavern Beidou likes? Does Ganyu use her connections to get Beidou into a more refined establishment?
- I love xeno and if you want Ganyu to have more nonhuman features in addition to her (completely adorable) horns, go for it.
- Ganyu coming along on a voyage on the Alcor? Maybe it's hypothetically because Ningguang sent her with a request, but also it'd just be neat to see her having that experience, being on the sea instead of in Rex Lapis' stable territory.
Beidou/Ningguang
I just think they're neat. I mean. The clash of these two powerful personalities is so cool! Pirate queen and self-made billionaire prime minister, and they clearly respect each other's skill but argue about important issues, and they're gorgeous, and it's just extremely pleasing. The part where they get around sticky political entanglements by having Ningguang hire Beidou instead of the Qixing hire the Crux fleet, delightful. Optional prompts:
- Luxury porn: silk sheets, scented baths, Ningguang bending Beidou over priceless hand-carved mahogany furniture, Beidou licking a rare and precious vintage off Ningguang's skin. All of it. All the luxuries.
- Beidou bringing back expensive and unusual trinkets from the faraway shores where her voyages take her! Is it still smuggling if you want the authorities to have the illicit goods in the end?
- How do they fight together? Both of them have a little bit of shielding ability but mostly would rather attack; can they make a good team facing off against a common foe?
- The classic: get them stranded somewhere with nobody to depend on but each other, so they have to cooperate while still bickering about all their existing disagreements. Best UST.
Diluc/Kaeya
THEY'RE NOT OKAY AND IT HURTS REAL GOOD but also I want them to fix up their disaster of a relationship. They're just both so bitter about the falling out, and if one of them doesn't lash out the other will, and when you have that much hurt years after the fact it means there were such deep feelings to begin with. Ugh, my heart. Please help them at least take a little step toward reconciling. Optional prompts:
- Kaeya's had one (or two or three) too many; Diluc notices and decides to take him home so he won't embarrass himself at the tavern. Alcohol lowers inhibitions—does that lead to long-overdue conversation, sloppy kisses, or both?
- Fight scenes! Either "sparring" to clear the air or both facing down a threat to Mondstadt together, and adrenaline brings feelings to the surface.
- Either of them pining, missing the connection they used to have, admiring the good things about the man the other has grown into... and trying to reach out, to make peace?
Jiangxue/Smiley Yanxiao
My tiny background NPC ship! I'd love to see anything fleshing out their connection. They both seem to have really unsavory pasts, and now they're retired from that at/near an inn literally situated in liminal space (in a marsh, by the border) and full of strange things of all kinds, from foreigners to ghosts and immortals. Show me how they fit into that space and how they relate to each other, Yanxiao's constant complaining paired with generosity, Jiangxue's gentle praise as he ignores demands. Optional prompts:
- Food! Yanxiao making something he thinks Jiangxue will really like (or knows he misses, from their past) and trying not to admit why he put such care into it; or Jiangxue bringing his prize catch up to Yanxiao's kitchen because who else could do these fish justice?
- Backstory! Were they in the same gang of thieves together? Rivals? Excitingly fraught criminal escapades, good stuff.
- Wangshu Inn: Strange things keep happening here, and wrapping these bit players up in a spooky mystery—maybe one they have to solve without the Traveler and their entourage!—would be fascinating.
Tartaglia/Zhongli
Iron sharpens iron and I want every excuse for these two to meet up again after the Liyue chapter is over. I love them having a complicated, carefully balanced power dynamic and would prefer that over either of them being obviously & permanently in charge. (Please, please, if you see this, no overt dom/sub roles for this ship; I realized how badly it suits me too late for an actual DNW but it's not how I like these two.) Tartaglia has a beautiful fearlessness and willingness to throw himself into things, and that contrasts really well with Zhongli's long history of careful planning and forethought, and also: both very hot.
- Zhongli trying to figure out how to live like a mortal, and surely there's no better person to learn from than someone so vibrant and full of enthusiasm, right?
- Tartaglia wants recompense for how things went down in Liyue, but when he catches up to Zhongli, it turns out Zhongli's suffering aftereffects of giving up the Gnosis. It wouldn't be satisfying to fight a sick man—guess Tartaglia has no choice but to make sure he gets better!
- Fancy outfits for some occasion in Liyue before the end of 1.1. And maybe Tartaglia is as confused about Liyue traditional clothing as he is about chopsticks, and Zhongli will have to help him get everything arranged properly!
Xiao/Zhongli
Hello yes hi, I am here for beautiful superhuman warriors being thoroughly and endlessly devoted to their lieges. We've only had a little bit of information about Xiao and about his relationship to Rex Lapis so far, but please take that as carte blanche to make up whatever details you like (and if he releases before the deadline, please don't worry about canon contradicting anything you've done; I'm absolutely fine with that). Also, if you're into dragon-features and/or dragon-form Zhongli, go for it, that's delicious.
- Fighting back to back! Either of them using their fancy skills to protect the other in the heat of battle <3
- Service submission with an almost ritual vibe to it, Xiao offering his skills and his body to the divine lord he follows, mmmm.
- In Zhongli's voiceline about Xiao, was preparing painkillers for him; I'd love to see him providing other care, treating injuries his demon-fighting guardian sustained. Masters treasuring and caring for their valiant servants, my heart.
- Rex Lapis teaching just-freed Xiao how to fight with a spear. All the thirst of one-on-one training from a powerful warrior mentor, with bonus points for actual god.
- Zhongli leaving Liyue Harbor to wander the world without responsibilities, and Xiao following him. "You don't need to do this; I'm not your lord anymore." / "Don't be stupid. You'll always be my lord." Cue mutual pining on their travels!
Belial/Lucifer
I'm really weak for pre-rebellion stuff, the primarch and his adjutant, Lucilius' most clever and capable creations. What a mess all of Canaan was, and here they are, overseeing important projects for the Astrals while at the same time trying to sort out how their feelings work -- feelings their creator appears not to have intended them to have. Tragic foreshadowing of how badly this relationship will end is good, but big what-ifs that lead to the rebellion going differently (or not at all) are also good. Also reunions after 000, one way or another! Optional prompts:
- Belial's weaponized sexuality seems like it must have been factory installed, so to speak, but being around him has made Lucifer also start feeling things unrelated to his function as primarch; now they both get to explore these desires that the Astrals around them seem not to have but that they find too compelling to ignore.
- On any kind of surveying or exploration mission, encountering some kind of sexy trouble: sex pollen, trap dungeon, ancient dragons make them do it, etc.
- Fussing over each other's wings! Belial preening Lucifer's feathers, Lucifer stroking the smooth membranes of Belial's. Contrast and symbolism are gorgeous here.
- Could the rebellion have gone any other way? Could Belial have come to care for Lucifer enough to have second thoughts about Lucilius' plans?
- Post-000 I would expect reconciliation between them to be awkward and difficult—though maybe less so than Belial thinks, as Lucifer is so endlessly loving and forgiving—but might they have a chance?
Belial/Sariel
Sariel pings me so hard, the living weapon who would rather be soft, and I love the way his inclusion in 000 made Belial more complicated and harder to read. Beautiful. I am fine with ambiguity in Belial's motives -- I can believe anything from "was just manipulating an easy pawn" to "meant to just recruit, accidentally became fond" -- but I strongly prefer it when Sariel trusts him and believes in his apparent kindness. Optional prompts:
- Primal beasts have amazing regenerative capacity, so they don't really need care when injured; Belial fusses over Sariel after a mission anyway, to Sariel's surprise and confusion. Still, it feels nice even if he doesn't understand...
- Relaxing in the garden, as Sariel watches the ants and Belial plays with his pretty feathers; maybe this was meant to be just a part of recruiting the executioner, but it turns out to be enjoyable all the same.
- Playing with the new recruit doesn't do anything to make Belial's frustrated tangle of feelings for Cilius go away... but it's nice stress relief, isn't it? And with Sariel's limiters the way they are, it won't be too hard to keep him from figuring out what's really going on.
- Post-000, Sariel finds the rainbow or Belial finds his own way home; what does Belial have to say to Sariel's questions? Huge bonus points for him not knowing what he feels even if he can bluff well enough to satisfy Sariel.
Cain/Reinhardtzar
What a fucking great character arc, seriously. From enemies to "I need you" / "If you don't come back from this fight, I won't either." fuck! I love the way they learn to see each other's virtues as they spend more time together, and come to realize that despite first impressions they're looking at a damn solid ally. And they've both been through so much with the war that destroyed Torhid, but they've *both* been through it and can understand each other's scars. ...Also, holy damn that size difference.
- Nightmares? Nightmares. One of them reliving something awful or dreaming of losing someone else and the other there to wake him up, reassure him that they're going to be okay. Refusing to talk about it but taking physical comfort from the other's presence is pure catnip.
- Traveling together after the Nalhegrande plot is over. Do they visit any of the cool destinations we've been to in Phantagrande?
- Playing with Grand Rein's rekki mechanics for drama and h/c and desperate post-battle sex, yes please. Watching him soak all the damage meant for his friends and then return it tenfold does things to Cain.
- Seriously, the size difference, unf. And having it be hot from both sides: not just that Cain loves how huge and powerful his bruiser of a boyfriend is, but also that Rein's really into the way Cain is slender and lithe and easy to manhandle—but also tough enough to stand up to him.
Helel ben Shalem/Any
This request is a plea for help. I love Shalem in a way that just makes me stupid and tongue-tied and I don't know who to ship her with, she's just /incoherent flailing. She's so beautiful and proud and so lost in the modern skies, and I love the stranger in a strange land thing. And her bare clawed feet and her beautiful jewelry and her freakin chaos meteors and the fact that her power is so terrifying that someone, sealing her away, felt the need to bind her voice to keep its destructive potential from being unleashed. I have a v bad crush. Please show me a shipping option you think is cool. Timeline fuckery to have her present at any point in the story, including the War of 500 years ago or the early days of primal creation in Canaan: entirely welcome. (I am bad at keeping the history of the sky realm straight anyway, so you can absolutely make things up.) Optional prompts:
- Body worship, possibly playing up the religious angle of "worship" there—Shalem and Sahar are the closest thing in GBF to "actual" angels, after all. Is it taboo to adore the intercessor rather than the Lord? (Is it hot that it's taboo? yes.)
- Mortals' desires are only natural and nothing to be ashamed of, but she wasn't prepared to feel that kind of desire herself, or for it to be so powerful...
- The modern skies are an unfamiliar place, where few things remain the way they were in Shalem's time. Perhaps a new companion could show her some new things?
- I don't know what to do with the awareness that her Lord created Astrals and then Astrals created primals but it feels like there's potential for philosophy and/or power play in v hot ways.
Heles/Seruel, Naoise/Seruel
I'm just extremely fond of the Cat Royalty of Fantasy Ireland and they're clearly so fond of each other; when you talk to any of them they're likely to tell you about their past together and it's really cute. Also the art that keeps putting them together, Holiday Seruel's uncap or Summer Heles' uncap (which, holy crap). Additional worldbuilding about what Alster is/was like would be lovely too; it's one of the settings that I pine for more content about.
- Loving service & the way the receiver accepts it gracefully and cherishes the giver. I'm so into their fondness for each other and attempts to keep each other from being too heroic and self-sacrificing, and bringing that mutual care and kindness into an intimate setting would be lovely.
- Backstory of some kind, some adventure they got into as teenagers, maybe an adventure that led to a first kiss.
- Drawing in any other bits of Irish mythology and finding a way to apply those to this setting and characters would be awesome.
- You are absolutely welcome to make these ships a threesome.
Lancelot/Siegfried/Vane
These guys are just so good for each other and so fond of each other and I love it. I love it a lot. Lancelot and Vane have had each other's backs since they were itty, and now they have this guy who's a hero and an example of knighthood and also their friend? And Siegfried for his part always seems so fondly confused that the two of them are so attached to him. (His lv 100 fate really cemented the dynamic for me.) It's a warm cozy ship. I haven't played the knights stuff that isn't in side stories (joined too late!) but I've had some spoilers and I'm fine with using any of that story if it suits an idea you have. Optional prompts:
- One of them injured, the others caring for him, forever yes. Canon gives us Lancelot in the dungeon and Siegfried stabbed, and either of those would be great, but if you want to give Vane a turn that's also great. Careful "thank gods you're alive"/"don't move, you'll aggravate your injuries" sex A+.
- Taking on a mission together! Their teamwork is so great.
- Dragonblood stamina: it takes Lancelot and Vane giving it everything they've got to wear Siegfried out, and they love the challenge.
- Maybe they get roped into helping with another unusual endeavor like the bistro? This is an excuse to put them in a new set of themed costumes as much as anything, so if you want a good reason to draw them as firefighters or sportsball players or circus performers or something, please do.
Belial/Any Genshin
This can be a shallow request for porn if you want to go that route. Belial fucks Teyvat 2021 -- just please don't porn the little girls and everyone else is fair game. But if you want to do something more complex with it, I'm always here for Belial having a chance to demonstrate some cunning, in whatever situation he finds himself! He's just fascinating, thirsty and slippery and always working an angle, and I like to watch. Optional prompts:
- The isekai route: post-000 the dimensional rift dropped Belial into Teyvat and now he has to find allies, figure out what he's doing here,amass a harem, and plan his next move.
- Fusing someone into Canaan: some Genshin character as an Astral or original primal beast, and Belial looking to sway them to Cilius' side.
- Belial as something like an adeptus but for some power considerably less benevolent than Rex Lapis. Was he made by an evil god before the Archon War? Perhaps he was sealed away in a domain or ruin and now an unwary adventurer has set him free...
- What if you reimagined Belial's outfit in the Genshin style, or designed something to suit him and complement his new partner?
Diluc/Siegfried
Talented, handsome swordsmen who've fallen out with the knights of their home, still determined to do what's right via whatever methods they have available: good stuff. Add some age/experience difference, a bit of class difference, and you have a lot of ingredients for something smoldering and delicious. Optional prompts:
- When Diluc left home to travel after his father's death, somewhere on his journey he met a lone warrior that people called the Dragonslayer; he needed to get stronger, and perhaps this stranger would be the one to teach him.
- Diluc in the role of Percival, being Siegfried's noble young vice-captain, and the smoldering tension between them before the king's death. (Kaeya in the Lancelot role? yes.)
- Siegfried's ordinary family background coming up against Diluc's aristocratic background and pursuits; maybe Diluc has taken his advantages for granted but now it's exciting to be able to spoil his handsome knight a bit.
- Diluc pouring a glass of wine for Siegfried, or handing him a drink as their fingers touch and their eyes meet...
Natsune/Yamabiki
These two! Natsune is an outrageous collection of things that ping me hard, and Yamabiki isn't half bad either. Their cooperation all the way through the nightmare of the series was great to watch; the things they were willing to go through together were amazing. But of course, given how tightly plotted the whole story was, the place where I really want more is after the end. Where do they go from there? How do they cope? What kind of future do you build for yourself after a history like they both have? Optional prompts:
- N i g h t m a r e s. Or flashbacks, or any other way that one of them (probably Natsune, that's my gd jam) gets overwhelmed by the trauma of what happened underground, and the other has to help him get grounded again.
- More subtly, something that looks superficially like a pleasant, light-hearted date, but with those little touches of hypervigilance and caution that go along with their past.
- Or some other sort of trouble they encounter when traveling, and how they use their powers to neutralize the threat.
- Tender fucking intimacy, god. Let them learn how to be good to each other with sex.
Dantalion/Gilgamesh
Dantalion's relationship with William is very sweet and good but Gilgamesh just oozed raw sensuality from the moment he appeared on the page and I have needs. I'm not looking for actual romance here, but any sort of mutual understanding—they're both playing a game with ulterior motives, but they can respect and admire each other as powers of Hell—would be delicious.
- That scorchingly hot page with the bloody facepainting, please proceed from there into sloppy maybe-violent makeouts/sex. Unf.
- One of Hell's fancy social events: the two of them are here to see and be seen, and when that gets tiresome, here to sample extremely fancy liquor and then find a semi-private alcove or shadowy stairwell for makeouts/sex.
- A sparring session, taking each other's measure to decide whether the other is worth forming this alliance with, that eventually devolves into makeou... you get the idea.
Sitri/Solomon
Holy damn, Sitri's endless devotion to Solomon is a lot. I love it, his fierce devotion and the way that he seemed to be Solomon's solace toward the end of his life, the precious bright jewel to give Solomon comfort when he was so sorely tested. The canon itself plays really fast and loose with historical/biblical information about the time period, so you should feel free to do likewise—incorporate as much or as little background from other sources as you like. Optional prompts:
- Indulging in luxuries in Solomon's temple, perfumes and scented oils and hand-feeding each other, just every sensual moment. mmmm.
- Sex to provide fuel for a spell/ritual, Sitri as the familiar to the powerful mage. Wings as erogenous zones. Kinking on their size difference.
- Post-canon reunion: Solomon's soul now free at least to seek Sitri out, the welcome he would receive, the joy they take in each other. (And how that joy is a sign of the new order, now that the previous powers have given way to the new.)
I'm really fond of Ramsus, fucked up member of a fucked up society who's trying to make things better in his own flawed way, and who draws people to him with his ideals. I love that he latches onto people that Solaris deems inferior and sees their potential and tries to bring it out. And good lord, watching him break down over the course of the plot—even badly translated and sidelined for more central characters—broke my heart. Please give him something good. Also, while this is an Extra Optional suggestion, if you're up for doing post-game poly either as a triad or a V centered on Ramsus, that's awesome.
fandom-specific DNW: unrequested ships (mentions of canon ships are ok but please focus on one I've requested).
Sigurd/Ramsus
Both Jugend-era stuff—when they were both new to these feelings—and endgame/post-game stuff when they're trying to figure out what happens now, good shit. I love the way they both provided each other with an anchor at Jugend, giving each other close personal connections that they didn't have many of, and it broke my heart to watch Sigurd leave even though of course it made sense for him to do it. Optional prompts:
- Trying to find the time and the privacy to make out at Jugend. Do their friends know? Do they cover for them?
- Sigurd's piercings, the best detail in Perfect Works. Discovering how to make them fun instead of reminders of a bad time.
- Clearing the air at long last, at the end of the game, talking about why Sigurd actually left and how it wasn't a judgment on Ramsus' worth or cause... And maybe they can start again?
- Post-canon any kind of rebuilding/adventure stuff that makes them work together and remember their camaraderie, with UST and mutual pining and eventually kisses. mmf.
Ramsus/Dominia
Lordt, Dominia is a mess, and a lot of it is wrapped up in trying to be enough of a Solarian to give her commander a good reputation. She also breaks my heart, and I want her to have the recognition she craves outside the fucked up Solarian supremacist system.
- I usually don't go for unrequited fic but this is a case where I'd go for Dominia pining/fantasizing about her handsome commander and what she'd like to do with him—just lean more toward "someday she'll have her chance" than "this love is hopeless."
- Dominia finding Ramsus in the midst of his breakdown in Solaris, when he's hallucinating and off his meds, and helping him get stable and calm down. (Please no sex when he's not coherent.)
- You know, I would read something where they had a physical encounter of some kind shortly after the fall of Elru, both of them dealing with trauma badly and he shouldn't be doing this with her but his socialization and coping skills aren't great, and she's isolated and looking to him for safety... I'm looking for angst and bad decisions here, not deliberate taking advantage.
- Post-canon again, now that all the complications of rank and role and Miang's manipulation are out of the way—working together on projects for the good of the survivors, and UST while she tries to figure out how to tell him how she feels.
I play the Bonds route, because I'm ultimately a softie. If you want to use Massacre characterization choices for Nanashi, especially in Dagda/Nanashi, please feel free, that can be fun. But I'd really rather not deal with the actual massacre, because I like a lot of the other characters too.
Dagda/Nanashi
I am absolutely here for Dagda being a creepy possessive manipulative monster (with absolute monster cock), and Nanashi being varying degrees of into it but ultimately not having much say in the matter. On the other hand I am ALSO into Bonds-route post-Egg Dagda being fascinated by this boy hero who's willing to stand up to gods and unwilling to lose anyone else, and the ways that Nanashi's stubborn love for the world despite everything remind him of the things he'd overlooked. Basically, as with the game, you got a couple of strongly divergent paths here, so pick either one. Optional prompts:
- Manipulative, grooming creeper Dagda sweet-talking Nanashi about their connection, manifesting for him when they're alone, demonstrating how Nanashi doesn't need other humans to have his needs fulfilled~ (Size kink and demon magic to make things fit where they shouldn't, A+)
- Resurrecting cock: Nanashi's fallen in battle and he's not coming back from Yomotsu-Hirasaka until he's had some divine elixir, if you know what I mean. (Size kink, demon magic, still A+)
- Dagda taking control of Nanashi's body again only explicitly sexy instead of just punching me in the id. Making him touch himself a specific way? Making him please Dagda? Making him please Odin or someone else that Dagda is currently pretending to be allied with?
- Bonds reborn Dagda hanging around wanting to pester Nanashi all the time, asking him questions, fascinated with the human who caused his new existence and all the potential he represents, until Nanashi starts to wonder (or maybe Asahi suggests?) if his symbiote god has a crush on him.
Flynn/Nanashi
Messiahs in a hungry realm. I love the progression we get with Nanashi's relation to Flynn in game, going from being the kid-with-potential that Flynn speaks up for to being the hero who's taken enough weight off Flynn's shoulders that they can interact as friends and cooperate for the biggest challenge of all. From hero worship through guilt to relief to actual friendship, and each of them really the only one who understands the other's position re: Tokyo's desperate need for a savior. It's good shit. Optional prompts:
- Nanashi following Flynn around after Bonds ending, just wanting to be nearby, until Flynn realizes he's like a barn cat who likes you but doesn't know how to go about actually asking for a lap to sit in.
- Teaming up to shake down demons for fun and profit! What do they spend their piles of macca on? (Is it a cute skirt for Nanashi?)
- They've really both Seen Some Shit by the end there. Sometimes the only thing that helps on a bad day or after some bad dreams is to just go and quietly spend some time with somebody who understands.
- Either of them wanting to get control of their trauma by recontextualizing it into kink play? A big ask but it would be awesome.
Fujiwara/Skins
I love the solidity of these two's partnership, how clearly they've had each other's backs and kept a dream alive for 25 years; I love the image of them carving out a little slice of domesticity in hellscape Tokyo and making it livable for each other and everyone around them. I'd be happy to see any slice of their story, from back at the beginning just after the disastrous attempt to breach the Ceiling, through the early years of the Hunter Association, right up to game time. Or even post-game, rebuilding anew. Optional prompts:
- Perfect candidates for the "everyone thinks they're dating" trope. Wait, they could have all this and kissing too? Hot damn.
- Fujiwara being really into that size difference. Having a big tough Hunter boyfriend/husband who can pick him up and pin him to the wall never gets old.
- H/c for Skins' patchwork, whether that's right after the fight with the angels or much later on with soothing & moisturizing cream for tender scars.
- Finding luxuries to treat each other with in the wreckage of Tokyo; the little things that keep each other going in a tough world.
Gaston/Hallelujah
After the hardcore megaten alignment heartpunching in IV, I really liked seeing these two show up in the sequel representing Team Angels and Team Demons, and then instead of being irreconcilable and doomed, they both wound up deciding those guys sucked and choosing Team Humanity when the chips were down. And they pushed each other into it in a lot of ways, and the way their aggravation and frustration got shaken into mutual respect, I honestly can't get enough of it. Also I love the size difference, and Gaston being a nervous but secretly very thirsty mess, and Hal's demon form is v v good. I want a lot of tropey shit here tbh. Optional prompts:
- They're pining and pretending not to and Chiro has had enough! Mischief fox demon will do whatever it takes to get his stupid person and that other even stupider person to kiss. (Heckling from Navarre would also fit the bill here.)
- Gaston walks in on Hal masturbating, or catches a glimpse of him in the shower and can't stop thinking about it, and is dying of thirst. Bonus points if Hal's in demon form and he has to confront that aspect of his desires too.
- Bonds ending, up on the surface, Gaston showing Hallelujah around and treating him to some nice things and gosh, why does he wants to badly to impress this boy!
- Actual demon Hallelujah AU with Gaston as captive/tribute/plaything, afraid of these monsters but helplessly aroused, and trying to please this one relatively nice one so nothing worse will happen to him....
- That, except it's consensual roleplay.
Gaston/Hallelujah/Toki
I did a replay recently and I was really struck by the fact that, in addition to Gaston and Hallelujah being set up in opposition and eventually coming together, there were a few points where Toki was the clear catalyst for Gaston to start experiencing empathy (which she brushes off as much as he does other people's overtures). And like him, for different reasons, she was raised to completely repress and discard her feelings—but now there's Hallelujah to yell about that when either or both of them need it. Basically: a really neat clash of worldviews and comfort zones that could develop in a lot of ways.
- Any of them discovering a new experience with the others' company/help, whether that's going for a picnic or playing arcade games or kissing.
- Gaston flustered by the idea of dating either of them, much less both, but Hal and Toki have way more unconventional backgrounds and don't get what the problem is. Maybe they can convince him it's fine if they work together.
- They're just comfortable in each other's company; they understand what a huge ordeal they went through and most people don't get it. Quiet companionship with leaning on each other turns into snuggles.
Fel'rekt/Jarlaxle
Fel'rekt/Krebbyg
I just love everything about Fel'rekt and all he represents, and I'd love to see him having a good time with either his buddy-cop partner in crime or his sexy legend of a boss. He shakes up the drow stereotypes so much, being good-aligned, rejecting his birth gender and taking up a new one despite coming from a culture with intense amounts of gender hostility—he's really neat in just a tiny bit of module content and it'd be so cool to have that fleshed out. With kissing! ...I'm a little bit familiar with the novels and totally fine with spoilers for them if you want to bring that in for Jarlaxle stuff. Also please feel free to draw on any existing story/characterization from your own playthrough of the module, if applicable! Also I'm fine with a threesome or a casual "well hey everybody wants to climb the boss, right" vibe if that appeals.
Re: transness in a magical canon: I don't have strong feelings about how you handle physical transition in a world with the incredible magic potential of Faerun. Mention how it works, don't mention it, either way's fine. Maybe he's transitioned, maybe he hasn't and Bregan D'aerthe accepts his identity anyway. My only sticking point is please don't write anything that proceeds as if Fel'rekt was AMAB and had the early life experience typical for a male drow.
Optional prompts:
- Something these guys were up to in Waterdeep when they weren't facing off against the party! Carousing, scrapping with some other villainous faction, casing another attractive target in the city?
- Gambling games with sexy forfeits!
- Performing in the Sea Maidens Faire! Possibly while trying to sneak in some stray teasing and makeouts?
- I am always up for people adventuring and getting in trouble and damn, they don't have a healer and have to ration their potions, can they afford a short rest right now, etc., they'll just have to rely on each other .////.
Let me first say you have great taste in fandoms, and I'm excited by everything here, so I really just can't wait to see what you come up with. If my signup gave you enough to go on already, awesome, don't feel bound to include any of the extras here! If you want some of my thoughts on specific fun things to do with these ships, here they are. It's all optional, it's not comprehensive, and I promise there's no secret "oh they want this request/ship more" meaning intended in the lengths of sections—those first two fandoms just have huge casts, so I collect a correspondingly large number of ships. Whatever ship you're here for, I love it :3

Albedo/Aether
HELP, the Chalk Prince and the Dragon just gave me so many shippy feelings about Albedo and the Traveler. Albedo clearly sees this stranger as such a fascinating and potentially compatible new partner, and he's so alone and his perspective is so unusual, but oh please let them kiss. Optional prompts:
- Albedo trying to capture the essence of What Makes Aether Special through his art, whether that's casual studies of daily life, gesture sketches of him in combat, or more intimate work...
- Additional experiments! What other ways might Aether be different from the people of this world? What if an experimental potion had an unexpected sexy effect?
- Even more experiments! How do you determine what's satisfying to your partner? With a lot of methodical sexual experimentation to determine which kinks produce the best results.
- This is a very shallow request so far, I'm sorry. If you want to do more thoughtful stuff with Albedo's history and how Aether might understand him, please don't feel limited by this.
Aether/Tartaglia
I am HERE FOR enthusiastic fightsexual puppies, so Tartaglia had my number from "hello." But also the way he just seems so magnetically drawn to the Traveler and delighted by him, yes please, it's so good and exciting. (only Aether was nominated i think but if you wanted to do a version with Lumine that's good too.) All that energy, the combination of aggression and delight, the way the traveler can respond to his fight-friend overtures positively, so good! Also, best possible candidate to pull Aether's braid. Optional prompts:
- Comparing scars! Tartaglia throws himself into every challenge he can find, and Aether has been through a lot on Teyvat and elsewhere. Can Aether even tell the stories of his? How does Tartaglia feel about it if not?
- Aether out-stubborns Tartaglia for some hurt/comfort after Tartaglia's story chapter. Make that boy sit down and accept some first aid and kisses.
- The promised rematch! Where they're both doing it just for fun this time. I don't care who wins as long as it's a close match.
- Danger-kinked sex—on the edge of a cliff, in the middle of a domain that's not fully cleared yet, at the end of that rematch...
Any Male Playable Character/Bennett
I am a simple gremlin with simple needs. Bennett is a good good boy and I want somebody to treat him nice, and ideally for something to go well for him for once? Not just in the way where he's determined to see the best of bad situations, but where actually things are okay? gosh. I'm up for friends-becoming-more with one of the other teens or someone he looks up to noticing him with one of the adults. Every new detail in his voicelines and story breaks my heart and I want nice things for him. Thank you. Optional prompts:
- Adventuring with someone and Bennett's tent catches fire! It would be terrible luck, except that the other person invites him to share. There's not much room, but if they're close it'll work!
- He's already so touched by the bandages people have given him; what about somebody offering a liniment for aches and bruises, or a moisturizing cream for uncomfortable scars? And what if that somebody is offering to apply the treatment, not just hand over a jar?
- First kisses, first-time sex, first time getting to cuddle up with someone special and enjoy the sweetness of that touch: all of that kind of thing.
Beidou/Ganyu
First off, Beidou kissing pretty ladies is life-giving. But then she mentions that she and Ganyu "get on like a house on fire" and now I want to see that happen. Beidou is so rowdy and full of swagger, and Ganyu *has* some fighting chops but doesn't seek that out; Beidou's worldly experience comes from traveling, sailing the seas and learning the breadth of the world, where Ganyu's wisdom comes from the long time she's spent in Liyue. They're really neat contrasts and also gorgeous, and also the not-fully-human thing is really neat. I'm making these prompts before playable Ganyu releases, so please don't feel bound by them if something in her new character info/story takes you in a different direction. Optional prompts:
- Sneaking around for a rendezvous that won't be found out! Does Ganyu know why Beidou does this, or does she think Beidou has reasons of her own for hiding their connection?
- Enjoying a night out! Do they go drinking at a tavern Beidou likes? Does Ganyu use her connections to get Beidou into a more refined establishment?
- I love xeno and if you want Ganyu to have more nonhuman features in addition to her (completely adorable) horns, go for it.
- Ganyu coming along on a voyage on the Alcor? Maybe it's hypothetically because Ningguang sent her with a request, but also it'd just be neat to see her having that experience, being on the sea instead of in Rex Lapis' stable territory.
Beidou/Ningguang
I just think they're neat. I mean. The clash of these two powerful personalities is so cool! Pirate queen and self-made billionaire prime minister, and they clearly respect each other's skill but argue about important issues, and they're gorgeous, and it's just extremely pleasing. The part where they get around sticky political entanglements by having Ningguang hire Beidou instead of the Qixing hire the Crux fleet, delightful. Optional prompts:
- Luxury porn: silk sheets, scented baths, Ningguang bending Beidou over priceless hand-carved mahogany furniture, Beidou licking a rare and precious vintage off Ningguang's skin. All of it. All the luxuries.
- Beidou bringing back expensive and unusual trinkets from the faraway shores where her voyages take her! Is it still smuggling if you want the authorities to have the illicit goods in the end?
- How do they fight together? Both of them have a little bit of shielding ability but mostly would rather attack; can they make a good team facing off against a common foe?
- The classic: get them stranded somewhere with nobody to depend on but each other, so they have to cooperate while still bickering about all their existing disagreements. Best UST.
Diluc/Kaeya
THEY'RE NOT OKAY AND IT HURTS REAL GOOD but also I want them to fix up their disaster of a relationship. They're just both so bitter about the falling out, and if one of them doesn't lash out the other will, and when you have that much hurt years after the fact it means there were such deep feelings to begin with. Ugh, my heart. Please help them at least take a little step toward reconciling. Optional prompts:
- Kaeya's had one (or two or three) too many; Diluc notices and decides to take him home so he won't embarrass himself at the tavern. Alcohol lowers inhibitions—does that lead to long-overdue conversation, sloppy kisses, or both?
- Fight scenes! Either "sparring" to clear the air or both facing down a threat to Mondstadt together, and adrenaline brings feelings to the surface.
- Either of them pining, missing the connection they used to have, admiring the good things about the man the other has grown into... and trying to reach out, to make peace?
Jiangxue/Smiley Yanxiao
My tiny background NPC ship! I'd love to see anything fleshing out their connection. They both seem to have really unsavory pasts, and now they're retired from that at/near an inn literally situated in liminal space (in a marsh, by the border) and full of strange things of all kinds, from foreigners to ghosts and immortals. Show me how they fit into that space and how they relate to each other, Yanxiao's constant complaining paired with generosity, Jiangxue's gentle praise as he ignores demands. Optional prompts:
- Food! Yanxiao making something he thinks Jiangxue will really like (or knows he misses, from their past) and trying not to admit why he put such care into it; or Jiangxue bringing his prize catch up to Yanxiao's kitchen because who else could do these fish justice?
- Backstory! Were they in the same gang of thieves together? Rivals? Excitingly fraught criminal escapades, good stuff.
- Wangshu Inn: Strange things keep happening here, and wrapping these bit players up in a spooky mystery—maybe one they have to solve without the Traveler and their entourage!—would be fascinating.
Tartaglia/Zhongli
Iron sharpens iron and I want every excuse for these two to meet up again after the Liyue chapter is over. I love them having a complicated, carefully balanced power dynamic and would prefer that over either of them being obviously & permanently in charge. (Please, please, if you see this, no overt dom/sub roles for this ship; I realized how badly it suits me too late for an actual DNW but it's not how I like these two.) Tartaglia has a beautiful fearlessness and willingness to throw himself into things, and that contrasts really well with Zhongli's long history of careful planning and forethought, and also: both very hot.
- Zhongli trying to figure out how to live like a mortal, and surely there's no better person to learn from than someone so vibrant and full of enthusiasm, right?
- Tartaglia wants recompense for how things went down in Liyue, but when he catches up to Zhongli, it turns out Zhongli's suffering aftereffects of giving up the Gnosis. It wouldn't be satisfying to fight a sick man—guess Tartaglia has no choice but to make sure he gets better!
- Fancy outfits for some occasion in Liyue before the end of 1.1. And maybe Tartaglia is as confused about Liyue traditional clothing as he is about chopsticks, and Zhongli will have to help him get everything arranged properly!
Xiao/Zhongli
Hello yes hi, I am here for beautiful superhuman warriors being thoroughly and endlessly devoted to their lieges. We've only had a little bit of information about Xiao and about his relationship to Rex Lapis so far, but please take that as carte blanche to make up whatever details you like (and if he releases before the deadline, please don't worry about canon contradicting anything you've done; I'm absolutely fine with that). Also, if you're into dragon-features and/or dragon-form Zhongli, go for it, that's delicious.
- Fighting back to back! Either of them using their fancy skills to protect the other in the heat of battle <3
- Service submission with an almost ritual vibe to it, Xiao offering his skills and his body to the divine lord he follows, mmmm.
- In Zhongli's voiceline about Xiao, was preparing painkillers for him; I'd love to see him providing other care, treating injuries his demon-fighting guardian sustained. Masters treasuring and caring for their valiant servants, my heart.
- Rex Lapis teaching just-freed Xiao how to fight with a spear. All the thirst of one-on-one training from a powerful warrior mentor, with bonus points for actual god.
- Zhongli leaving Liyue Harbor to wander the world without responsibilities, and Xiao following him. "You don't need to do this; I'm not your lord anymore." / "Don't be stupid. You'll always be my lord." Cue mutual pining on their travels!
Granblue Fantasy
Belial/Lucifer
I'm really weak for pre-rebellion stuff, the primarch and his adjutant, Lucilius' most clever and capable creations. What a mess all of Canaan was, and here they are, overseeing important projects for the Astrals while at the same time trying to sort out how their feelings work -- feelings their creator appears not to have intended them to have. Tragic foreshadowing of how badly this relationship will end is good, but big what-ifs that lead to the rebellion going differently (or not at all) are also good. Also reunions after 000, one way or another! Optional prompts:
- Belial's weaponized sexuality seems like it must have been factory installed, so to speak, but being around him has made Lucifer also start feeling things unrelated to his function as primarch; now they both get to explore these desires that the Astrals around them seem not to have but that they find too compelling to ignore.
- On any kind of surveying or exploration mission, encountering some kind of sexy trouble: sex pollen, trap dungeon, ancient dragons make them do it, etc.
- Fussing over each other's wings! Belial preening Lucifer's feathers, Lucifer stroking the smooth membranes of Belial's. Contrast and symbolism are gorgeous here.
- Could the rebellion have gone any other way? Could Belial have come to care for Lucifer enough to have second thoughts about Lucilius' plans?
- Post-000 I would expect reconciliation between them to be awkward and difficult—though maybe less so than Belial thinks, as Lucifer is so endlessly loving and forgiving—but might they have a chance?
Belial/Sariel
Sariel pings me so hard, the living weapon who would rather be soft, and I love the way his inclusion in 000 made Belial more complicated and harder to read. Beautiful. I am fine with ambiguity in Belial's motives -- I can believe anything from "was just manipulating an easy pawn" to "meant to just recruit, accidentally became fond" -- but I strongly prefer it when Sariel trusts him and believes in his apparent kindness. Optional prompts:
- Primal beasts have amazing regenerative capacity, so they don't really need care when injured; Belial fusses over Sariel after a mission anyway, to Sariel's surprise and confusion. Still, it feels nice even if he doesn't understand...
- Relaxing in the garden, as Sariel watches the ants and Belial plays with his pretty feathers; maybe this was meant to be just a part of recruiting the executioner, but it turns out to be enjoyable all the same.
- Playing with the new recruit doesn't do anything to make Belial's frustrated tangle of feelings for Cilius go away... but it's nice stress relief, isn't it? And with Sariel's limiters the way they are, it won't be too hard to keep him from figuring out what's really going on.
- Post-000, Sariel finds the rainbow or Belial finds his own way home; what does Belial have to say to Sariel's questions? Huge bonus points for him not knowing what he feels even if he can bluff well enough to satisfy Sariel.
Cain/Reinhardtzar
What a fucking great character arc, seriously. From enemies to "I need you" / "If you don't come back from this fight, I won't either." fuck! I love the way they learn to see each other's virtues as they spend more time together, and come to realize that despite first impressions they're looking at a damn solid ally. And they've both been through so much with the war that destroyed Torhid, but they've *both* been through it and can understand each other's scars. ...Also, holy damn that size difference.
- Nightmares? Nightmares. One of them reliving something awful or dreaming of losing someone else and the other there to wake him up, reassure him that they're going to be okay. Refusing to talk about it but taking physical comfort from the other's presence is pure catnip.
- Traveling together after the Nalhegrande plot is over. Do they visit any of the cool destinations we've been to in Phantagrande?
- Playing with Grand Rein's rekki mechanics for drama and h/c and desperate post-battle sex, yes please. Watching him soak all the damage meant for his friends and then return it tenfold does things to Cain.
- Seriously, the size difference, unf. And having it be hot from both sides: not just that Cain loves how huge and powerful his bruiser of a boyfriend is, but also that Rein's really into the way Cain is slender and lithe and easy to manhandle—but also tough enough to stand up to him.
Helel ben Shalem/Any
This request is a plea for help. I love Shalem in a way that just makes me stupid and tongue-tied and I don't know who to ship her with, she's just /incoherent flailing. She's so beautiful and proud and so lost in the modern skies, and I love the stranger in a strange land thing. And her bare clawed feet and her beautiful jewelry and her freakin chaos meteors and the fact that her power is so terrifying that someone, sealing her away, felt the need to bind her voice to keep its destructive potential from being unleashed. I have a v bad crush. Please show me a shipping option you think is cool. Timeline fuckery to have her present at any point in the story, including the War of 500 years ago or the early days of primal creation in Canaan: entirely welcome. (I am bad at keeping the history of the sky realm straight anyway, so you can absolutely make things up.) Optional prompts:
- Body worship, possibly playing up the religious angle of "worship" there—Shalem and Sahar are the closest thing in GBF to "actual" angels, after all. Is it taboo to adore the intercessor rather than the Lord? (Is it hot that it's taboo? yes.)
- Mortals' desires are only natural and nothing to be ashamed of, but she wasn't prepared to feel that kind of desire herself, or for it to be so powerful...
- The modern skies are an unfamiliar place, where few things remain the way they were in Shalem's time. Perhaps a new companion could show her some new things?
- I don't know what to do with the awareness that her Lord created Astrals and then Astrals created primals but it feels like there's potential for philosophy and/or power play in v hot ways.
Heles/Seruel, Naoise/Seruel
I'm just extremely fond of the Cat Royalty of Fantasy Ireland and they're clearly so fond of each other; when you talk to any of them they're likely to tell you about their past together and it's really cute. Also the art that keeps putting them together, Holiday Seruel's uncap or Summer Heles' uncap (which, holy crap). Additional worldbuilding about what Alster is/was like would be lovely too; it's one of the settings that I pine for more content about.
- Loving service & the way the receiver accepts it gracefully and cherishes the giver. I'm so into their fondness for each other and attempts to keep each other from being too heroic and self-sacrificing, and bringing that mutual care and kindness into an intimate setting would be lovely.
- Backstory of some kind, some adventure they got into as teenagers, maybe an adventure that led to a first kiss.
- Drawing in any other bits of Irish mythology and finding a way to apply those to this setting and characters would be awesome.
- You are absolutely welcome to make these ships a threesome.
Lancelot/Siegfried/Vane
These guys are just so good for each other and so fond of each other and I love it. I love it a lot. Lancelot and Vane have had each other's backs since they were itty, and now they have this guy who's a hero and an example of knighthood and also their friend? And Siegfried for his part always seems so fondly confused that the two of them are so attached to him. (His lv 100 fate really cemented the dynamic for me.) It's a warm cozy ship. I haven't played the knights stuff that isn't in side stories (joined too late!) but I've had some spoilers and I'm fine with using any of that story if it suits an idea you have. Optional prompts:
- One of them injured, the others caring for him, forever yes. Canon gives us Lancelot in the dungeon and Siegfried stabbed, and either of those would be great, but if you want to give Vane a turn that's also great. Careful "thank gods you're alive"/"don't move, you'll aggravate your injuries" sex A+.
- Taking on a mission together! Their teamwork is so great.
- Dragonblood stamina: it takes Lancelot and Vane giving it everything they've got to wear Siegfried out, and they love the challenge.
- Maybe they get roped into helping with another unusual endeavor like the bistro? This is an excuse to put them in a new set of themed costumes as much as anything, so if you want a good reason to draw them as firefighters or sportsball players or circus performers or something, please do.
What A Good Crossover Idea
Belial/Any Genshin
This can be a shallow request for porn if you want to go that route. Belial fucks Teyvat 2021 -- just please don't porn the little girls and everyone else is fair game. But if you want to do something more complex with it, I'm always here for Belial having a chance to demonstrate some cunning, in whatever situation he finds himself! He's just fascinating, thirsty and slippery and always working an angle, and I like to watch. Optional prompts:
- The isekai route: post-000 the dimensional rift dropped Belial into Teyvat and now he has to find allies, figure out what he's doing here,
- Fusing someone into Canaan: some Genshin character as an Astral or original primal beast, and Belial looking to sway them to Cilius' side.
- Belial as something like an adeptus but for some power considerably less benevolent than Rex Lapis. Was he made by an evil god before the Archon War? Perhaps he was sealed away in a domain or ruin and now an unwary adventurer has set him free...
- What if you reimagined Belial's outfit in the Genshin style, or designed something to suit him and complement his new partner?
Diluc/Siegfried
Talented, handsome swordsmen who've fallen out with the knights of their home, still determined to do what's right via whatever methods they have available: good stuff. Add some age/experience difference, a bit of class difference, and you have a lot of ingredients for something smoldering and delicious. Optional prompts:
- When Diluc left home to travel after his father's death, somewhere on his journey he met a lone warrior that people called the Dragonslayer; he needed to get stronger, and perhaps this stranger would be the one to teach him.
- Diluc in the role of Percival, being Siegfried's noble young vice-captain, and the smoldering tension between them before the king's death. (Kaeya in the Lancelot role? yes.)
- Siegfried's ordinary family background coming up against Diluc's aristocratic background and pursuits; maybe Diluc has taken his advantages for granted but now it's exciting to be able to spoil his handsome knight a bit.
- Diluc pouring a glass of wine for Siegfried, or handing him a drink as their fingers touch and their eyes meet...
Starving Anonymous
Natsune/Yamabiki
These two! Natsune is an outrageous collection of things that ping me hard, and Yamabiki isn't half bad either. Their cooperation all the way through the nightmare of the series was great to watch; the things they were willing to go through together were amazing. But of course, given how tightly plotted the whole story was, the place where I really want more is after the end. Where do they go from there? How do they cope? What kind of future do you build for yourself after a history like they both have? Optional prompts:
- N i g h t m a r e s. Or flashbacks, or any other way that one of them (probably Natsune, that's my gd jam) gets overwhelmed by the trauma of what happened underground, and the other has to help him get grounded again.
- More subtly, something that looks superficially like a pleasant, light-hearted date, but with those little touches of hypervigilance and caution that go along with their past.
- Or some other sort of trouble they encounter when traveling, and how they use their powers to neutralize the threat.
- Tender fucking intimacy, god. Let them learn how to be good to each other with sex.
Makai Ouji
Dantalion/Gilgamesh
Dantalion's relationship with William is very sweet and good but Gilgamesh just oozed raw sensuality from the moment he appeared on the page and I have needs. I'm not looking for actual romance here, but any sort of mutual understanding—they're both playing a game with ulterior motives, but they can respect and admire each other as powers of Hell—would be delicious.
- That scorchingly hot page with the bloody facepainting, please proceed from there into sloppy maybe-violent makeouts/sex. Unf.
- One of Hell's fancy social events: the two of them are here to see and be seen, and when that gets tiresome, here to sample extremely fancy liquor and then find a semi-private alcove or shadowy stairwell for makeouts/sex.
- A sparring session, taking each other's measure to decide whether the other is worth forming this alliance with, that eventually devolves into makeou... you get the idea.
Sitri/Solomon
Holy damn, Sitri's endless devotion to Solomon is a lot. I love it, his fierce devotion and the way that he seemed to be Solomon's solace toward the end of his life, the precious bright jewel to give Solomon comfort when he was so sorely tested. The canon itself plays really fast and loose with historical/biblical information about the time period, so you should feel free to do likewise—incorporate as much or as little background from other sources as you like. Optional prompts:
- Indulging in luxuries in Solomon's temple, perfumes and scented oils and hand-feeding each other, just every sensual moment. mmmm.
- Sex to provide fuel for a spell/ritual, Sitri as the familiar to the powerful mage. Wings as erogenous zones. Kinking on their size difference.
- Post-canon reunion: Solomon's soul now free at least to seek Sitri out, the welcome he would receive, the joy they take in each other. (And how that joy is a sign of the new order, now that the previous powers have given way to the new.)
Xenogears
I'm really fond of Ramsus, fucked up member of a fucked up society who's trying to make things better in his own flawed way, and who draws people to him with his ideals. I love that he latches onto people that Solaris deems inferior and sees their potential and tries to bring it out. And good lord, watching him break down over the course of the plot—even badly translated and sidelined for more central characters—broke my heart. Please give him something good. Also, while this is an Extra Optional suggestion, if you're up for doing post-game poly either as a triad or a V centered on Ramsus, that's awesome.
fandom-specific DNW: unrequested ships (mentions of canon ships are ok but please focus on one I've requested).
Sigurd/Ramsus
Both Jugend-era stuff—when they were both new to these feelings—and endgame/post-game stuff when they're trying to figure out what happens now, good shit. I love the way they both provided each other with an anchor at Jugend, giving each other close personal connections that they didn't have many of, and it broke my heart to watch Sigurd leave even though of course it made sense for him to do it. Optional prompts:
- Trying to find the time and the privacy to make out at Jugend. Do their friends know? Do they cover for them?
- Sigurd's piercings, the best detail in Perfect Works. Discovering how to make them fun instead of reminders of a bad time.
- Clearing the air at long last, at the end of the game, talking about why Sigurd actually left and how it wasn't a judgment on Ramsus' worth or cause... And maybe they can start again?
- Post-canon any kind of rebuilding/adventure stuff that makes them work together and remember their camaraderie, with UST and mutual pining and eventually kisses. mmf.
Ramsus/Dominia
Lordt, Dominia is a mess, and a lot of it is wrapped up in trying to be enough of a Solarian to give her commander a good reputation. She also breaks my heart, and I want her to have the recognition she craves outside the fucked up Solarian supremacist system.
- I usually don't go for unrequited fic but this is a case where I'd go for Dominia pining/fantasizing about her handsome commander and what she'd like to do with him—just lean more toward "someday she'll have her chance" than "this love is hopeless."
- Dominia finding Ramsus in the midst of his breakdown in Solaris, when he's hallucinating and off his meds, and helping him get stable and calm down. (Please no sex when he's not coherent.)
- You know, I would read something where they had a physical encounter of some kind shortly after the fall of Elru, both of them dealing with trauma badly and he shouldn't be doing this with her but his socialization and coping skills aren't great, and she's isolated and looking to him for safety... I'm looking for angst and bad decisions here, not deliberate taking advantage.
- Post-canon again, now that all the complications of rank and role and Miang's manipulation are out of the way—working together on projects for the good of the survivors, and UST while she tries to figure out how to tell him how she feels.
SMT IV:Apocalypse
I play the Bonds route, because I'm ultimately a softie. If you want to use Massacre characterization choices for Nanashi, especially in Dagda/Nanashi, please feel free, that can be fun. But I'd really rather not deal with the actual massacre, because I like a lot of the other characters too.
Dagda/Nanashi
I am absolutely here for Dagda being a creepy possessive manipulative monster (with absolute monster cock), and Nanashi being varying degrees of into it but ultimately not having much say in the matter. On the other hand I am ALSO into Bonds-route post-Egg Dagda being fascinated by this boy hero who's willing to stand up to gods and unwilling to lose anyone else, and the ways that Nanashi's stubborn love for the world despite everything remind him of the things he'd overlooked. Basically, as with the game, you got a couple of strongly divergent paths here, so pick either one. Optional prompts:
- Manipulative, grooming creeper Dagda sweet-talking Nanashi about their connection, manifesting for him when they're alone, demonstrating how Nanashi doesn't need other humans to have his needs fulfilled~ (Size kink and demon magic to make things fit where they shouldn't, A+)
- Resurrecting cock: Nanashi's fallen in battle and he's not coming back from Yomotsu-Hirasaka until he's had some divine elixir, if you know what I mean. (Size kink, demon magic, still A+)
- Dagda taking control of Nanashi's body again only explicitly sexy instead of just punching me in the id. Making him touch himself a specific way? Making him please Dagda? Making him please Odin or someone else that Dagda is currently pretending to be allied with?
- Bonds reborn Dagda hanging around wanting to pester Nanashi all the time, asking him questions, fascinated with the human who caused his new existence and all the potential he represents, until Nanashi starts to wonder (or maybe Asahi suggests?) if his symbiote god has a crush on him.
Flynn/Nanashi
Messiahs in a hungry realm. I love the progression we get with Nanashi's relation to Flynn in game, going from being the kid-with-potential that Flynn speaks up for to being the hero who's taken enough weight off Flynn's shoulders that they can interact as friends and cooperate for the biggest challenge of all. From hero worship through guilt to relief to actual friendship, and each of them really the only one who understands the other's position re: Tokyo's desperate need for a savior. It's good shit. Optional prompts:
- Nanashi following Flynn around after Bonds ending, just wanting to be nearby, until Flynn realizes he's like a barn cat who likes you but doesn't know how to go about actually asking for a lap to sit in.
- Teaming up to shake down demons for fun and profit! What do they spend their piles of macca on? (Is it a cute skirt for Nanashi?)
- They've really both Seen Some Shit by the end there. Sometimes the only thing that helps on a bad day or after some bad dreams is to just go and quietly spend some time with somebody who understands.
- Either of them wanting to get control of their trauma by recontextualizing it into kink play? A big ask but it would be awesome.
Fujiwara/Skins
I love the solidity of these two's partnership, how clearly they've had each other's backs and kept a dream alive for 25 years; I love the image of them carving out a little slice of domesticity in hellscape Tokyo and making it livable for each other and everyone around them. I'd be happy to see any slice of their story, from back at the beginning just after the disastrous attempt to breach the Ceiling, through the early years of the Hunter Association, right up to game time. Or even post-game, rebuilding anew. Optional prompts:
- Perfect candidates for the "everyone thinks they're dating" trope. Wait, they could have all this and kissing too? Hot damn.
- Fujiwara being really into that size difference. Having a big tough Hunter boyfriend/husband who can pick him up and pin him to the wall never gets old.
- H/c for Skins' patchwork, whether that's right after the fight with the angels or much later on with soothing & moisturizing cream for tender scars.
- Finding luxuries to treat each other with in the wreckage of Tokyo; the little things that keep each other going in a tough world.
Gaston/Hallelujah
After the hardcore megaten alignment heartpunching in IV, I really liked seeing these two show up in the sequel representing Team Angels and Team Demons, and then instead of being irreconcilable and doomed, they both wound up deciding those guys sucked and choosing Team Humanity when the chips were down. And they pushed each other into it in a lot of ways, and the way their aggravation and frustration got shaken into mutual respect, I honestly can't get enough of it. Also I love the size difference, and Gaston being a nervous but secretly very thirsty mess, and Hal's demon form is v v good. I want a lot of tropey shit here tbh. Optional prompts:
- They're pining and pretending not to and Chiro has had enough! Mischief fox demon will do whatever it takes to get his stupid person and that other even stupider person to kiss. (Heckling from Navarre would also fit the bill here.)
- Gaston walks in on Hal masturbating, or catches a glimpse of him in the shower and can't stop thinking about it, and is dying of thirst. Bonus points if Hal's in demon form and he has to confront that aspect of his desires too.
- Bonds ending, up on the surface, Gaston showing Hallelujah around and treating him to some nice things and gosh, why does he wants to badly to impress this boy!
- Actual demon Hallelujah AU with Gaston as captive/tribute/plaything, afraid of these monsters but helplessly aroused, and trying to please this one relatively nice one so nothing worse will happen to him....
- That, except it's consensual roleplay.
Gaston/Hallelujah/Toki
I did a replay recently and I was really struck by the fact that, in addition to Gaston and Hallelujah being set up in opposition and eventually coming together, there were a few points where Toki was the clear catalyst for Gaston to start experiencing empathy (which she brushes off as much as he does other people's overtures). And like him, for different reasons, she was raised to completely repress and discard her feelings—but now there's Hallelujah to yell about that when either or both of them need it. Basically: a really neat clash of worldviews and comfort zones that could develop in a lot of ways.
- Any of them discovering a new experience with the others' company/help, whether that's going for a picnic or playing arcade games or kissing.
- Gaston flustered by the idea of dating either of them, much less both, but Hal and Toki have way more unconventional backgrounds and don't get what the problem is. Maybe they can convince him it's fine if they work together.
- They're just comfortable in each other's company; they understand what a huge ordeal they went through and most people don't get it. Quiet companionship with leaning on each other turns into snuggles.
Dungeons & Dragons
Fel'rekt/Jarlaxle
Fel'rekt/Krebbyg
I just love everything about Fel'rekt and all he represents, and I'd love to see him having a good time with either his buddy-cop partner in crime or his sexy legend of a boss. He shakes up the drow stereotypes so much, being good-aligned, rejecting his birth gender and taking up a new one despite coming from a culture with intense amounts of gender hostility—he's really neat in just a tiny bit of module content and it'd be so cool to have that fleshed out. With kissing! ...I'm a little bit familiar with the novels and totally fine with spoilers for them if you want to bring that in for Jarlaxle stuff. Also please feel free to draw on any existing story/characterization from your own playthrough of the module, if applicable! Also I'm fine with a threesome or a casual "well hey everybody wants to climb the boss, right" vibe if that appeals.
Re: transness in a magical canon: I don't have strong feelings about how you handle physical transition in a world with the incredible magic potential of Faerun. Mention how it works, don't mention it, either way's fine. Maybe he's transitioned, maybe he hasn't and Bregan D'aerthe accepts his identity anyway. My only sticking point is please don't write anything that proceeds as if Fel'rekt was AMAB and had the early life experience typical for a male drow.
Optional prompts:
- Something these guys were up to in Waterdeep when they weren't facing off against the party! Carousing, scrapping with some other villainous faction, casing another attractive target in the city?
- Gambling games with sexy forfeits!
- Performing in the Sea Maidens Faire! Possibly while trying to sneak in some stray teasing and makeouts?
- I am always up for people adventuring and getting in trouble and damn, they don't have a healer and have to ration their potions, can they afford a short rest right now, etc., they'll just have to rely on each other .////.
