miriedThank 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: Fancy costumes/alternate wardrobes for characters, bright colours - I'm not too knowledgeable about art terms but I'm 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:

Characters: Rune Zhevitz
I really adored Rune's story in milestone one, and I'd really love to see more of her! In general, I'd just really love more Rune-centric stuff, and some missing scene-type stuff set during her travels with Ritona & Selphine would be really lovely. For more specific prompts, I'm especially interested in exploring just how much of the original Rune is in her, particularly her blood lust - is it something she has to explicitly repress, and does it ever get uncontrollable? And while she doesn't have the permissions to shut down her emotional processes, what would happen if someone else does?
I'm also really interested in the worldbuilding, and anything that touches on that would be neat. For one idea, I'd really love to see more of how her magic-robotic body actually works, whether back in her hometown or during her travels with Ritona & Selphine. For example, since she's powered by mana, while she doesn't get mana deprivation the way humans do, does she get anything equivalent? Could she ever learn to do manakravte?
The House in Fata Morgana
Characters: any
I really loved all the twists & turns in this series and also all the compelling characters. I'd be interested in stuff set in any canonical lifetime of each character, including modern reincarnation (whether Reincarnation-compliant or not).
-Giselle: How was her life back when she was still with her mother & sister? When working at the Bollinger household, did she interact with the other Bollinger brothers or Aimee? As the Maid, how does the people in the house throughout the years (especially non-major characters, like other servants or visitors) perceive her? In the times when the mansion doesn't exist in the corporeal world, how does she interact with the other trapped souls, if ever? What was really happening with her when Morgana took her away and Michel had to look for the keys? In the present day, I'd be interested in seeing how having such an extensive memory of her past life have affected her current daily life.
-Morgana: Another look on her life back at the brothel, especially how she gradually shed her prejudices against the girls there. Exactly how much had she thought about what she wanted to do if she were able to leave the place when she was older? More on how the White-Haired Girl came about during her captive days in the tower, and the conversations she had with "herself". How was "life" for her between her death and Michel's arrival? What about her "life" as a witch, both when the mansion is back in the corporeal world to carry her curse or during the times in-between? What else did she do with The Maid during those long times waiting?
-Ceren: I find her brand of cray utterly fascinating and would definitely love to see more of how other people perceive her broken understanding of sadness & empathy, a la the intermission in Requiem. Something about what she thought about learning "proper" reactions to other people and to fake sadness & empathy would also be interesting. What did other slaves/servants/people at the Lord's mansion think of her? Did anyone at Maria's brothel ever get a glimpse of the "off" side of her? If she were to get reincarnated in the modern era, how would she live with this "eccentricity" of hers and how do people react to her this time around?
-Imeon: Assento Dele is one of my favourite side stories and I'd love to see more of Imeon. Maybe some more missing scenes from when she was living with Michel, or when she was travelling before ending up in front of his doorstep? What would she be like if she did end up being Morgana's guide? I'd also love to see how she'd be like in the modern day - would she remember anyone, and if she didn't, how would Michel and/or Morgana react when they found out her identity? (As a note, while I know the backstage revealed that the main canon version identified as a woman, I'm still attached to the Seventh Coat version who is a trans man, so if you want to use that interpretation, that'll be very welcome!)
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
I found myself unexpectedly drawn to the characters in this game, and felt that there's a lot that can be played around with re: the worldbuilding. In general, I'm interested in both pre-canon worldbuilding or character studies, and post-canon futurefic!
-Swaine: How was life for him after leaving the empire - how did he survive on his own, and how did it change his outlook? Post-canon, how does he fit back into Hamelin? (My personal headcanon is that he prefers not to be involved in royal matters, but feel free to explore any other ideas!) Canon divergences can be fun, too - what if Gascon never left?
-Marcassin: How was having to ascend the throne at such a young age affect him? How was his rule like pre-brokenheartedness (or even after)? He's definitely got a lot of work laid out for him with the post-final battle rebuilding, too. If you want to go deep into political worldbuilding, whether pre- or post-canon, that can be interesting too.
(-As a note, I really adore Swaine & Marcassin's relationship, and I'd definitely be interested in anything that explores their relationship, be it moments from their childhood, moments of trying to bond again after such a long absence, post-canon trying to rebuild the empire, or anything else!)
-Alicia: More on her path to becoming a Great Sage would be interesting - for example, how did she learn magic? What were her travels with Drippy like? How much contact with the other world did she have while raising Oliver? Some missing scenes-style moments of young Alicia with Lucien could be nice too.
-Cassiopeia: I'd definitely love some post-canon stuff with her - how does she fit back into life not as the White Witch? Are the people in general welcoming of her after what she's done, or are they sympathetic? Something a bit darker set pre-canon, like the process of her "creating" the Zodiarchs around her, would be interesting too.
