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, action-y poses - 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:
(Note: I'm requesting fic & art for all fandoms)
80 Days
Character(s)/Relationship(s): Phileas Fogg/Jean Passepartout
-I find the steampunk world of this adaptation really neat, so anything that deals with that worldbuilding would be cool. Fic or art, I'd like to see them dealing with automatons together, whether smaller ones or those big enough to ride in or even seemingly intelligent ones, whether back home or in the middle of travels. And specifically for art, I'd love anything that showcases the interesting and unusual sights from around the world, or just the two of them doing mundane things (having tea, reading newspapers, etc.) with not-so-mundane things happening in the background
-In general, just expanding on the in-game story. Post-canon stuff for either scenario would be nice: post-victory, is there any "returning to normal"? How had the journey changed their relationship, for better or worse? What does that money all get used for? Post-loss, do they actually go around the world again, and for what goal? How does the debt get paid, if at all? Otherwise, I'd also love to see other possibilities for travel around the world not covered in-game!
-Depending on your choices you can see hints of Passepartout's feelings in-game, but what would make him act on it first? Or how does the feelings come up on Fogg's side? Something slow burn-ish covering their whole trip (or beyond) would be fantastic, especially if there are lots of subtle, barely-noticeable-to-outsiders gestures of affection.
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Character(s)/Relationship(s): Swaine, Marcassin, Alicia, Shadar
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 beyond probably serving as a palace engineer, but feel free to explore any other ideas!) Canon divergences can be fun, too - what if Gascon never left?
-Marcassin: How did 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, and did she ever secretly use magic even when living in the mundane world? Some missing scenes-style moments of young Alicia with Lucien could be nice too.
-Shadar: More on his thought processes while serving as the Dark Djinn - was trying to save his world in a roundabout way always on the back of his mind, or was he truly malicious for some of the time? How privy was he actually to the White Witch's true nature? What about his thoughts while making people brokenhearted - were there any deeper reasoning behind the different pieces of the heart he took from different people?
Atelier: Arland Series
Characters: Eva Armster, Ficus Finis, Lias Falken
I first played the games years ago, but have dipped back into them lately (I finished Lulua recently and then went back to Meruru) and I'm really enjoying it all. Many of the character interactions I find really charming, and these are just some of the characters I want to see more of! (Note: I've cleared the main story of all four games, but I haven't finished the DLC content for Meruru & Lulua)
-Eva: She definitely has a lot of issues relating to family, so anything exploring that would be lovely - what if her birth family tries to contact her again? How is she with taking care of the orphanage post-canon - would she still has issues with the other kids eventually leaving? How exactly does she see Lulua as fitting into her "family"? (I do ship her with Lulua so feel free to take it to that direction.) Other possibilities for her post-canon activities would be awesome too - what if she were to become an adventurer, or take up a craft?
-Ficus: He became really interesting to me after the reveal of his identity, so anything relating to that would be awesome. Maybe more of his past life with Pilche? What were his thoughts as he served under the Rage Beast? Does he try more to atone to the people in the village? How would his further interactions with the people who defeated him, whether humorous or serious? What about his post-canon travels? (I also ship him with Lulua, so post-Ficus-ending them travelling together would be great too.)
-Lias: Anything of him post-Meruru - we know about where he's getting assigned next, but how does he fare there? What about during Lulua - does Arls not being a separate kingdom change the soldiers' job much further down the line? More on his relationship with Rufus would be great too - they've come to an understanding of sorts by the end of Lias' events, but do they continue working successfully on their issues or does that get undone sometimes? Maybe even something from their childhood? (If you don't mind going shippy with them that's very welcome too.)
