Chocolate Box 2019 letter
Jan. 6th, 2019 11:52 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
miriedDear Chocolatier, thank you for checking out my letter! I'm ![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
riiiied on AO3, and if you're reading this letter I'm guessing you're interested in offering these fandoms/character combinations, which is awesome already! These prompts are just examples of what I'd like to see with these relationships, so if you have any other ideas that don't contradict DNWs, feel free to go for it!
General likes: character studies, missing scenes, characters getting to know each other, rivalry, relationships with mixed/fraught feelings, banter, post-canon, canon divergence, smut (unless mentioned otherwise), non-standard formats (and when it comes to treats, I'm open to art/IF/other non-fic formats!)
General art likes: Either muted, limited palettes or very bright ones, fancy costumes (I'm not too knowledgeable about art terms, but I'm pretty easily pleased with art!)
General DNWs: genderswap-to-het for M/M & F/F ships, A/B/O dynamics, de-aging, mundane AUs, background non-canon pairings not mentioned in prompts
Fandoms:
SSSS.Gridman
Shinjou Akane/Takarada Rikka:
-I feel that the whole god-creation deal is a mine for angst on both sides - maybe more of Akane angsting that Rikka's fondness of her is preprogrammed, or Rikka running out of ways to prove that it isn't? Akane creating other dream world versions where she's going out with Rikka and just making herself feel worse in the end?
-Bad end AUs - what would happen if Rikka et al was trapped forever in Akane's dream world? Or a more tragic ending to the final battle where Akane is lost?
-Post-canon stuff! Fluffy long distance relationship stuff, maybe? Or they get reunited somehow, to mixed feelings. Considering the live action snippet at the end of the series, maybe something that explores the implications of that, if anything?

BanG Dream! Girl's Band Party!
Seta Kaoru & Tsurumaki Kokoro & Kitazawa Hagami & Matsubara Kanon & Okusawa Misaki:
-Hello Happy hijinks! They have some of the most fun dynamics in-game for me and I'd love to see more of that. Planning more unconventional performances? Going on seemingly ludicrous trip courtesy of the Tsurumaki estate? Or just them in more varied outfits!
-It's usually The Three Idiots getting into silly things but Kanon & Misaki aren't fully immune either - more scenarios where somehow it's those three who have to fish one of both of the other two out of some absurd situation?
Okusawa Misaki/Seta Kaoru:
-Misaki seems to be less susceptible to Kaoru's princely act than some of the other girls, but that doesn't mean she never gets flustered by said antics at all (there's the love confession acting, for one). Perhaps Kaoru sets out to find what character she should take up to break through Misaki's deadpan indifference, and what works ends up being the most unexpected thing to both of them (maybe an uncharacteristic moment of frankness from Kaoru?).
-For a more humorous twist, it's Michelle that Kaoru's trying to woo, for one reason or another (girl bears can be princesses too!), and Misaki's having all kinds of mixed reactions inside.
-Michelle's true identity coming out could be also a fun one - does Kaoru react with dramatic surprise, comical denial, confirming that she already knew but was just playing along, or something else?
Kitazawa Hagumi & Okusawa Misaki:
- What I like about these two is how surprisingly perceptive they turned out to be about each other - there's Hagumi noticing Misaki acting kinda off in presence her non-bandmate classmates, and Misaki pinpointing what Hagumi was hung up on during the sports festival. Maybe they become each other's unexpected confidants about their other problems?
- As Misaki gets less hung up on trying to quit the band, maybe Hagumi tries to teach softball to Misaki or even "Michelle" (would Misaki in a bear suit be any good at softball?), or the other way around with Misaki sharing her needlework with Hagumi.
-Michelle's identity coming out also works here. Would Hagumi react like a child discovering Santa isn't real, or would she unexpectedly take it in stride? In the case of something in the lines of the former, how would Misaki handle it? Like she would her little sister?

Run with the Wind
Kashiwazaki Akane/Kurahara Kakeru:
-I liked their focus episode a lot and would love to see more of their interactions! More training together, maybe with some well-timed manga-esque falling on top of each other? Reading manga together and finding unexpected shared favourites? Do they meet elsewhere on campus?
-Kakeru getting involved in Akane's anime club friends! Is it all awkward for Kakeru, or does he unexpectedly fit in together with them? Either way, give me super enthusiastic Akane dragging Kakeru around and I'll be happy.
-WRT art, give me all the ridiculous manga-esque visuals. Shoujo manga sparkles and/or tropes like kabedon? Hot-blooded shonen manga poses?
Musa Kamala/Sugiyama Takashi:
-What cuties. I find Musa's concern for Shindou when he was feeling down endearing and something where Musa tries to cheer Shindou up could be sweet - maybe he needs another pick-me-up after his break-up? Or the other way around, too!
-They seem to already be close even before the track team training started and I'd like to see what they were like before, too - did they meet at Aotake, or elsewhere in campus? How much do they hang out together outside the dorm/campus?
-tl;dr give me some fluff with these cuties and I'd be happy, seriously

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight
General prompts:
-When it comes to art, I'd love to see these girls in more stage outfits, or badass battle poses in their revue outfits!
-Although I didn't request any Nana ships here, I'd still be interested in time loop-related stuff - maybe some of them retain memories from previous loops somehow? Or just how tiny things are changed indirectly in each one.
Pairing-specific:
Isurugi Futaba/Saijou Claudine:
-I really like the friendly rivalry they've got going on and how up-front they can be about helping bettering each other. More of the glimpses we get into their dynamic would be nice - more training montages! Helping each other! Light-hearted complaining about their other classmates!
-Cultural exchange! There's Claudine's French stuff, but Futaba's also a Kyoto girl even if not as visibly as Kaoruko. Maybe even a trip together to either destination?
Aijou Karen/Kagura Hikari/Tsuyuzaki Mahiru:
-I ended up liking these three more than expected after Mahiru's jealousy is no longer a big issue, and would love to see more on how they'd get closer from then on. Mahiru getting to see more of what Karen & Hikari were like when they were kids, or Hikari catching up with what has been happening with Karen & Mahiru before she came back? A play with three central characters played by them? Anything!
-Loop-related AUs: what would've happened if Hikari had returned earlier? Or later? What'd have happened if the final battle had a different outcome? If Mahiru somehow also ended in the fight for the top spot?

The House in Fata Morgana
Giselle & Morgana:
- I'd love to see more of what happens between the two of them during the time periods where the mansion exists in its own realm - time seems to pass differently there, just how long did it feel like for them and how did they spend it? How does that change as each of the other souls come to be trapped there? Art of them hanging around the mansion would be lovely.
- I'd also be interested in seeing what Morgana thought to herself about Giselle back when the latter was alive - we see what she told Michel, but is there anything she kept to herself?
- Something set post-Happily Ever After would be great too - how would they go about their more normal lives, with no curses going around? (I'm fine with both Reincarnation-compliant or not.)
Maria Campanella & Morgana:
-I'd really like to see more of what they were like back in the calmer days at the brothel. How closely did Maria watch over Morgana, and just what were her early imoression of this kind who talked smack of her profession fully like?
-For modern day scenarios, are there ever any hard feelings courtesy of Maria being a collateral damage of Morgana's curse and/or what Maria did to WHG in the time of Door 3? Do theu manage to have a smoother friendshipand dunk on Jacopo together?
Ceren & Morgana:
-Ceren is such a fascinating nutcase and I love just how much of her interactions with Morgana take a different impression in retrospect. Would be neat to see more of those "cute/sweet on the surface, actually twistier underneath" moments between them, especially if it feeds into Morgana's complexes, the poor thing.
-How much of Ceren's eccentricities did Morgana figure out on her own? How much of Ceren's apparent concern for Morgana was just her learned feigning?
-Reincarnation AUs! Would they be the same age this time? How much does Ceren remember of their previous life? How does Ceren's sadness dysfunction affect things this time round?
Michel Bollinger & Morgana:
-So many ups-and-downs between these two. Anything set during the time period of Michel's banishment after Morgana was freed - how else did Morgana try to drive Michel crazy? What else did she try to offer him?
-As far as canon divergence goes, what about what would happen if Michel did become Morgana's guide? Or some bad end-based AUs, like what really became of them after the bad end where Jacopo was killed in the final door?
-Post-Happily Ever After stuff! How's life for Morgana living in Michel's building, and just how much of a handful is she as a tenant? (Feel free to throw in Giselle into the mix if you want!)
Pauline Asama & Maria Campanella:
-I'd be interested in what was their early childhood like back in the original timeline - we've heard that Maria was quite the troublemaker, but just how exactly was that? And was Pauline ever involved in her antics?
-Modern day travelling! Have they travelled together elsewhere besides France? What else were they doing on the trip? Did they bump into other familiar faces?
Maria Campanella & Jacopo Bearzatti:
-I enjoy the twists and turns of their friendship in both instances a lot, and would like to see more of either version of their early (and later) days. For the first lifetime, what exactly was the earlier days of the brothel like and how did they come to forge their friendship? For the second lifetime, how else did the mafia life affect their childhood? Was Jacopo as oblivious to Maria's machinations the whole time?
-They don't seem to still be childhood friends in the modern day, but I'd still be interested in seeing what their dynamic be like then. Will old memories resurface and cause more tension?
Yukimasa Aida/Pauline Asama:
- What a fascinating mess. What initially seemed like a standard tragic romance turned out to be something far more complicated and unbalanced, and I'd love to see all those cracks under the veneer - in the first two lifetimes, did she ever feel that something was "off" about him, and did she do anything about it? How exactly did he see her, beyond being his tether, and what's really going through his mind as he plays the lover role?
- I'd also be interested in modern reincarnation scenarios, Reincarnation chapter-compliant or not, especially if she discovers his true nature - can their relationship really survive that revelation long-term?
- If you don't mind going smuttier, I'd love to see kinky sex as a less outright murderous outlet for his impulses - maybe bloodplay and/or knifeplay? As for art: go bloody if you want (and feel free to go vivid if you wish). Also gestures that are ambiguously romantic & threatening at the same time.
General likes: character studies, missing scenes, characters getting to know each other, rivalry, relationships with mixed/fraught feelings, banter, post-canon, canon divergence, smut (unless mentioned otherwise), non-standard formats (and when it comes to treats, I'm open to art/IF/other non-fic formats!)
