miriedDear Chocolatier, thank you for checking out my letter and sorry it took so long! I'm ![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
riiiied on AO3, and if you're interested in offering these relationships that's 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 or other non-fic formats!)
General art likes: I'm not very knowledgeable about art terms, but I do like limited colour palettes and characters in costumes they don't usually wear in-canon.
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:
Horizon Zero Dawn
Aloy/Ikrie:
- I enjoyed Ikrie's side quest a lot and I like the hunter tag team dynamic introduced in her challenge, so I'd definitely like more of Aloy & Ikrie as a baddass duo hunting their way around The Cut (and beyond). And sometimes they kiss (or more).
-AUs where Ikrie participates in the final battle! She might not be that attached to Banuk culture, but would she still have some culture shock? Or just plain weather shock. Even if not focused on the final battle, I'd still love to see them adventuring together well away from the Cut - with art, maybe have them swap costumes when out and about?
- Post-canon adventures to restore GAIA! I'd love to see how Aloy tries to talk more about what she's discovered about the old ones and how Ikrie would go along with that. (If you have them working with CYAN while they're at it that would be awesome too.)
Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru
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
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.)
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!)
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.
