Pinch Hit #4 - Goblin Emperor, Imperial Radch, DCU (Comics), Star Wars Legends AMT, MCU, Star Trek (TOS, TNG + DS9)- CLAIMED!


Request 1 by Beatrice_Otter
The Goblin Emperor - Katherine Addison
WB: Ethuverazhin and Barizhin and the Evressai Steppe lingustic relationships (The Goblin Emperor), WB: Edrehasivar VII's international reputation (The Goblin Emperor), WB: Barizheise inheritance traditions (The Goblin Emperor), WB: goblin and elven educational systems (The Goblin Emperor), WB: trade and other relations between elvish and goblin lands (Goblin Emperor), WB: Elvish and/or Goblin religious practices (Goblin Emperor), WB: how the Barizhan Court works (Goblin Emperor), Any or No Characters (The Goblin Emperor), Original Character(s) (The Goblin Emperor), Vedero Drazhin (The Goblin Emperor), Csethiro Ceredin (Goblin Emperor), Maia Drazhar (Goblin Emperor), Maru Sevraseched (Goblin Emperor), Vorzhis Gormened (Goblin Emperor), Nadaro Gormened (The Goblin Emperor), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

There's so much depth and richness to this story, and Maia is only barely keeping his head above water and doesn't know many details and doesn't have time or attention to spare to wonder about it. I love how hopepunk it is: yes, terrible things have happened, and yes, there are genuinely evil people, and yes, there are people who aren't evil but are nonetheless really awful. And yet, despite it all, good people win. There are people who can be trusted to be good, and kind, and loyal. I love how three-dimensional everyone is, not just the heroes but the villains, too. If you wanted to bring in historical flourishes, I'd be happy with parallels to European history, but I'd be ECSTATIC if you brought in non-Western ideas, practices, structures, clothing styles, and institutions. On a costume level, I'm fairly knowledgeable about 1500s-present European styles, and have Opinions (e.g. corsets were not necessarily any worse than modern bras) so if you don't know much about it, might be better to either steer clear or use different cultures. I would be equally happy with canon characters or OCs. Like, a day in the life of a minor bureaucrat in the Barizhan court dealing with something (maybe the Great Avar being gone long enough to spend the holidays with his grandson).

I generally find worldbuilding that assumes an alien religion is like (Evangelical/Fundamentalist Protestant) Christianity either boring or cringeworthy. Christianity is deeply weird, compared to pretty much every other religion out there, and yet it's what has shaped our views on "what religion is like," so I really appreciate when people question those basic assumptions and go in a different direction.

Imperial Radch Series - Ann Leckie
WB: Bringing up a baby Station - creation / programming or education / installation (Imperial Radch), WB: counter-cultural movements in the Radch (Imperial Radch), WB: how houses work (Imperial Radch), WB: how Stations work (Imperial Radch), WB: politics in the Republic of Two Systems (Imperial Radch), WB: Radch religion (Imperial Radch), WB: the cultures and religions of Shis'urna (Imperial Radch), Mercy of Kalr (Imperial Radch), Athoek Station (Imperial Radch), Justice of Toren (Imperial Radch), The Divine of Ikkt (Imperial Radch), Lieutenant Awn (Imperial Radch), Original Character(s) (Imperial Radch), Justice of Toren One Esk Nineteen | Breq (Imperial Radch), Tisarwat (Imperial Radch), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

One of the things I love about this series is that pretty much every time there was an opportunity to fall back on standard SF/F worldbuilding and/or standard Western cultural norms, Leckie chose a different direction. This gives lots of scope for a lot of things. In particular, I'm interested in the way power structures function (and don't), the ways in which omnipresent surveillance on stations and ships functions and malfunctions, and the ways in which the Radch deals (and, crucially, fails to deal) with things that don't fit into their worldview. This could really go dystopic if you lean hard into all the ways that things are neither proper, just, nor beneficial to the underclasses, but please don't go any darker than the series itself. It strikes me that one of those long musical serials that Breq and Seivarden mention a couple of times--predictable, formulaic, Becoming A Client To A Worthy Patron Is Everything, plus singing and dancing!--might be an interesting jumping off point.

As for the Republic of Two Systems, all of the things the Radch has historically tried to keep a lid on have boiled over, often because Breq kicked the lid off. A perspective on that that isn't just Breq the White Savior would be really interesting. I love Breq! I usually agree with her! But this shit is complicated, yo, and she was a tool of Imperialism for centuries, and just because she's been intimately involved in a lot of annexations doesn't automatically mean she understands everything that's going on in the class-and-ethnic relations in the Republic.

Stations and ships are really interesting in how their identities are fractal, and I wonder what the difference between stations and ships is programming-wise, and I wonder how accurately Breq is remembering what it was like to be Justice of Toren--is the human brain even capable of it, when not actively hooked up to the ship? How does a ship's sense of self change when they don't have ancillaries any more?

As for Shis'urna, we got just a taste of what things were like there, and there's obviously so much more depth possible to how the ethnic groups interact, and what things were like before the annexation and what things were like after it, and how much difference DID Lieutenant Awn make in the long run? As for religion, I'm interested in both the politics of it (religion as a tool of Imperial conformity and uniformity) and the lived reality of it (religion as "how we live out our lives and ascribe meaning to things").

The one exception to my "please don't use Christianity as a template for Space/Fantasy Religions" wish is the Valskayan religion, which pretty obviously either IS Christianity, or is meant a Christian analogue.

DCU (Comics)
WB: Civilian responses to superheroes and vigilantes and supervillains (DCU), WB: how child sidekicks are viewed (DCU), WB: how Robin training has changed over the years (DCU), WB: outsider perspectives on the Wayne family (DCU), WB: Wayne Enterprise's charitable and political efforts (DCU), Damian Wayne (DCU), Diana (DCU), Duke Thomas (DCU), Original Character(s) (DCU), Stephanie Brown (DCU), Bruce Wayne (DCU), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

I love the batfamily, and tend to prefer takes on it that are more "people are screwed up but we still love each other and are trying" to "these people are awful and hurt one another." I love all of the characters listed and will enjoy stories about any of them, but I encourage you to focus on Duke if you can because even considering how new he is, there is very little fanfic in which he even appears. And also, as the newest member of the Batfamily, he makes a perfect lens from which to view the family both from an insider perspective and for outsider perspectives on the Waynes/Bats.

I am fascinated by the idea of what it would be like to live in a world in which superheroes and supervillains actually existed, and what that would do to society and how society would view them. I'm interested in complicated relationships and feelings on the matter: on the one hand, Batman and co. have saved a lot of people; on the other hand, how can you be sure they're only going after people who really deserve it; on another hand, even if they aren't are they any worse than a corrupt/racist justice system; on another hand, how does Wayne Enterprise's treatment of employees and their philanthropic stuff affect Gotham vs. Batman's treatment of criminals and crime. (I tend to be of the opinion that Bruce uses a "carrot and stick" approach of using his and WE's money for positive change while going out every night as Batman.) I like things that focus on Batman as a detective, not just a great fighter. And if you're interested, Kitty Unpretty has a great meta about "what is the corporate structure of WE anyway?" and if you wanted to use that as a jumping off point, I'd be thrilled (and Kitty has given blanket permission for its use). I'll link it in my letter.

My favorite things in all of the old Legends EU were
*Luke and Mara and their relationship and all their combined issues with rebuilding the Jedi and Mara's past as the Emperor's Hand
*Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik and Corran rediscovering his Jedi heritage and also how his perspective on both smugglers and the Rebellion changed after he defected to the Rebellion.

In both cases, it's about how do we remember the past while working to create a new future? How do we avoid making old mistakes? How do we heal? I love all four of these characters separately and together, at any point along their journey.

(Note: my "ideal perfect Star Wars Canon includes the PT, the OT, the Zahn trilogy and the X-Wing books, the Mandalorian, the Clone Wars, Rey&Finn&Poe as the only contributions from the ST, and HAPPY ENDINGS where something new and better results after all the pain and trauma." If you are inspired by other stuff, feel free to bring them in, but those are my happy places.)

The Black Panther had such GORGEOUS worldbuilding on every level, which the MCU has ignored since. Wakanda existing would change things before the reveal, and revolutionize things after, and I'm curious about what that was like both inside and outside Wakanda.

Feel free to disregard major Marvel events outside of Wakanda. My ideal Marvel canon includes the first two Captain America movies, Agent Carter, the first Iron Man movie, the first Avengers movie, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel. And ignores pretty much everything else. Bring the other stuff in if you like it and it inspires you, I don't mind it, but you can ignore it if you like. (It's not like any of it actually has anything to do with the worldbuilding of Wakanda.)

I love alien culture worldbuilding. I love boldly going and exploring and wacky science hijinks and time travel and alternate universe shenanigans. I love the hopeful attitude that we can become better than we are. All my feelings about Star Trek in general can be summed up with this vid. I love cross-cultural romance (especially when it deals realistically with having to figure out what compromises each is going to make on what they expect out of a relationship--love is not all you need, you also need a lot of hard work and communication). My headcanon on Vulcans was shaped by 80s Trek novels but I also enjoy trying to fit the *Enterprise* Vulcans with ... everything else we know about Vulcans. One thing I will point out, though, is that while there are a lot of things about Vulcan culture that seem/are sexist, the most powerful Vulcans we see throughout the series are elderly women. I love both Sarek and Amanda, but Sarek in particular is a terrible Dad and I'd like to know more about Amanda. I love Pon Farr, but mostly dealing with the implications of it (both before and after) and not the sex part. (I'm a Spock/Uhura shipper, not a Kirk/Spock shipper--even in TOS, Spock and Uhura had great chemistry.)

If you wanted to vid this one, I would be delighted. Feel free in this case to draw from every Trek media, including the animated show. In particular, for YEARS I have dreamed that someone would do a Spock and/or general Vulcan vid to The Logical Song. And there are so many Vulcan bits in the shows and movies where the visuals are just so evocative, if you get the right song it should be possible to do something really interesting.

But much as I love Vulcans, they are not the only things I love about Star Trek! Tell me about linguistics and what Uhura's job is all about besides "hailing frequencies open!"

Or tell me how the economy works. I used to think "no money" was pure utopianism, and then I learned that Universal Basic Income has been tried (and has worked) in multiple places. So it could work, but nothing is ever perfect even in Star Trek. (Star Trek's shtick is that most people are trying to do the right thing most of the time and be kind and merciful and just, and what happens when that's true, but that doesn't mean that people are perfect. And it doesn't mean that conflicting needs just go away. I want to see a system that works for most people in most times and places ... but isn't perfect. What does it look like, and how do they deal with edge cases and conflicting needs and foreign currency and other issues?

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
WB: Bajoran literature (ST:DS9), WB: Bajoran popular culture (ST:DS9), WB: What it means to have a non-Bajoran Emissary (DS9), WB: Federation journalism and perspectives on Bajor and the Dominion War (DS9), WB: Bajoran religious customs (DS9), WB: Bajor's recovery from Cardassian occupation (DS9), WB: Trill popular culture (ST:DS9), Original Character(s) (DS9), Jadzia Dax (ST:DS9), Kasidy Yates (ST:DS9), Jake Sisko (DS9), Benjamin Sisko (DS9), Kai Opaka (DS9), Kira Nerys (DS9), Winn Adami (DS9), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

I love Bajor, and I love worldbuilding about religion, but I also get nervous requesting it because so many people are really only familiar with Evangelical/Fundamentalist Protestant Christianity, and assume (even unconsciously) that all religion is Like That, when the Evangelicals are deeply weird compared to the rest of Christianity either today or throughout history, and Christianity as a whole is deeply weird when compared to ... pretty much any other religion on Earth. Now, the show often had parallels between Evangelicals/Fundamentalists and Bajoran religion because they were using Bajor to comment on US religious politics and history. (For example: Winn trying to shut down the school bc they taught that the prophets were aliens instead of gods was a direct commentary on the fundies trying to prevent schools from teaching evolution.) But I generally find worldbuilding that assumes an alien religion is like (Evangelical/Fundamentalist Protestant) Christianity either boring or cringeworthy. I want it to be ALIEN. Especially with Bajor, where we've MET their gods and they have such a fundamentally different perspective on EVERYTHING than us linear creatures, I don't want it to feel like another screed on What Is Wrong With Christianity In America.

Examples (feel free to do other stuff, though): you could lean into the Prophets' timey-wimey non-linearity and what that means for a religion that worships them. Most Earth religions are heavily time-based, with regular repeating festivals that serve a lot of purposes both social and religious--how would that work (or not work) when worshiping beings who see everything happening at once? Or explore the Orbs! What other orbs are there besides Time and Prophecy, and what do they DO? You don't have to have any ritual or belief or ANYTHING to use them, if they have line-of-sight to you they can DO THINGS. Give you visions! Send you time traveling! Whatever it is the others do! No Earth religion has any artifact that is anything like that, and besides wondering what the other orbs even are/do, I'm curious as to how they shaped Bajoran religion, and how it was that the Bajorans ended up worshiping the ones who SENT the orbs instead of the orbs themselves. Especially given that the Prophets mostly ... don't seem to want to be gods or care about being worshiped or what's going on on Bajor or anything. So it's not like they were sending messages with the Orbs about who sent them and why, which leaves a lot of scope for interpretation on the part of the Bajorans who found them.

Also, if you include Winn, please make her three-dimensional and complex. That was one of the best things about her character, that she was an antagonist but never a simple one or a one-note one. And her relationship with the Prophets was so complicated.

Sisko's position as Emmisary is endlessly fascinating to me, and how it shaped his relationship with Kira, and how he came to be more comfortable with it as the show went on. I love Winn as an antagonist. She's unpleasant and manipulative, but she always had reasons for what she did and why she was that way. (Not always good reasons, but generally not Muahahaha Evil ones, either.) Both Sisko men are such great dads, and I love that about them.

I love Dax's relationship with Sisko, that lasted three hosts. When Sisko comes back from the wormhole (if he ever does) will Dax still be Ezri or will enough time have passed that the relationship stretches to four hosts?

I haven't read the novels, but if you want to take the idea that after the show ended Kira eventually became a Vedek and later Kai and explore her faith and relationship with the Prophets, I wouldn't mind.

Besides religious issues, there is so much scope for exploration of what Bajor is like and how recent history has shaped them and what is going to happen post-series.

As for the Trill, I am really fascinated by the possibilities for how some (the few lucky elite) get symbiotes and practical immortality through them and how that shapes the Trill and their culture and government.

If you are a vidder, and you want to vid this, I would be overjoyed.

WB: Android rights movements (ST TNG), WB: growing up a half-Betazoid on Betazed (ST TNG), WB: how telepathy affects Betazoid diplomatic culture (ST TNG), WB: Pets on starships (ST TNG), WB: Vulcan popular culture (ST TNG), WB: Disability accommodations in Starfleet (ST TNG), WB: Klingon (or other nonhuman) soap operas (ST TNG), WB: Starfleet regulations (ST TNG), Data (Star Trek TNG), Geordi La Forge (ST TNG), Guinan (ST TNG), Deanna Troi (ST TNG), Original Character(s) (ST TNG), Fanart, Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

Geordi rarely got a chance to shine, but I always liked him, and aside from that one episode with the genetically engineered society, they didn't do much with his blindness besides "disabilities give you superpowers" with his visor. What are the downsides to it? What, if any, tradeoffs did he have to make, and was it his choice or something his parents decided for him? Does he ever get grief from fellow officers about "what happens if your visor gets knocked off, you'll be blind!" as if not being able to see would make him incompetent.

Data and Lal were so sweet together, and I'd love to see more of them being sweet. Also, I don't like the way people treat Data as either childlike or as someone who doesn't really get it. His poetry's actually pretty good, but they all treat it like it's a trial to be endured. Geordi's the only one who doesn't do that, and that's one thing I appreciate about his friendship with Data. Another plot idea, what would have happened to the court case and Lal's custody if she hadn't died?

I love Guinan, but too often canon treats her like a Magical Negro, and giving her some depth and context and complicating that would be awesome. I ship Guinan/Picard.

Or you can go the Vulcan route: I love me some Vulcans, and have many Thoughts on the Subject (as noted in the TOS section). Or you can explore starship life and what it's like to be one of the people the camera isn't focusing on. Missing scenes, day-in-the-life, backstory, episode-like-fic, anything would be awesome.

If you are a vidder, and you want to vid this, I would be overjoyed.

I am completely enchanted with Kalyazi religion in this series--the little glimpses we get are so tantalizing, and I want to know more! My absolute favorite parts of the books are the little snippets from in-universe texts (Codex of the Divine, The Books of Innokentiy, Vasiliev's Book of Saints) that open each chapter, and I would love to read more of any of those books! (Or some in-universe commentary on those books from a snarky historian, a religious leader, a saint/cleric, or any other character whose thoughts you want to show me!)

I am also very, very interested in the little glimpses we get of the saints' relationships with their particular patron god(s), and I'd love to see any of the historical saint stories from the snippets fleshed out! If you'd like more specific prompts, I'd especially love to hear the story of Svoyatova Valeriya Zolotova (her Vasiliev's Book of Saints entry reads, "A cleric of Onumitsa, she drowned in a flood sent by her goddess to wipe out the ancient city of Tokvoloshnik") or Svoyatova Viktoria Kholodova (whose entry is, "When Svoyatova Viktoria Kholodova was killed, a pomegranate tree burst forth from where her body fell"), but I will eat up anything about any saints and/or their patrons.

And finally, I am fascinated by ritual and liturgy in general, and I'd love to see what that looks like during ordinary Kalyazi worship (as opposed to Katia's ancient blood rites)!

I found the Qarsazhi really interesting, and I'd love to learn more about them from an insider's perspective! Give me some internal Inquisition interpersonal drama (starring Zhiyouri if you want or completely original characters) or memos or regulations! Tell me all about Qarsazhi magic school, whether that's through a general exploration, a curriculum, or a magic school story about a young Qarsazhi mage (either young!Shuthmili or an original character)! What is a Qarsazhi mage's relationship with Zinandour like?

I'm also really intrigued by the Qarsazhi religion and the little hints we get about it. Who are the other seven gods not mentioned in the text? What are Qarsazhi myths like? What is Qarsazhi religious worship like? What do their religious texts look like? Based on some of the section heading snippets, it seems like the Qarsazhi go in for epic poetry--what's that like?

Who are the People of Justice, what is their role, and what are the political implications of Heroine Su working with them or against them? What larger agendas are at play in this world?

What kinds of things have past Archivists written? What does their knowledge of ghosts look like? Do the Archivists ever write personal entries or notes to future Archivists, or are they strictly business? What is it like to keep a journal for an unknown successor who will have killed you by the time they read it?

**This is a pretty loose dnw for this fandom, given that the canon leans very hard on the line between straight scifi and science fantasy; it acts like it's grounded future dystopia, speculative but not fantastic, but... well. Based on canon events, I can't fully consider it as such--so as long as you keep the surface elements more or less the same, no matter what the underlying justification for them is we'll be good. Is your explanation Aliens Did It? sweet, go for it. or anything else in that vein. this world is your oyster.

 

fandom-specific dnw--all of this is for the narrative level (not addressing it is fine; having characters who believe or do these things is fine): eugenics apologetics; segregation portrayed as good for society/the people living under it; infantilization of disabled characters; portrayal of low-prestige dialects as being "bad grammar" versions of higher-prestige dialects

If the WB tags don't spark your imagination, check out prompts here.

Canon-specific DNWs: Irons and any version of Nottingham appearing (you can mention them if you need to).

Exception to blanket DNW: dubcon is fine.

General likes:
-worldbuilding (surprise! :-)
-pre-canon, canon, post-canon, canon-divergent, and missing-scene stories
-character-driven and plot-driven stories
-fics which mix humor and angst/serious business
-characters at work and play
-group dynamics, family dynamics (incl. constructed families), professional partnerships, friendships, alliances, rivalries, intimate couples, UST-ridden couples who are not just UST-ridden but connected in other ways too
-irony, snark, humor, angst
-linear, non-linear, and 5+1 stories
-hopeful endings, happy endings, bittersweet endings, “everything is awful but you’re here and maybe I don’t entirely hate that” endings
-characters who are always and unapologetically themselves
-competent characters

Shippy and smutty likes:
-(where it fits the characters) banter
-competitiveness or antagonism shading into attraction (this tension need not be resolved)
-”oh god why did it have to be you what did I do to deserve this“
-”come here and say it to my face/do that again/kiss me, you motherfucker”
-bickering yet loving couples
-characters who are serious about their romantic interests
-characters who think they are much better at flirtation than they actually are
-characters forced to work together only to prove much more compatible than they initially assumed
-fics which mix an exploration of characters’ professional and everyday lives with shipping
-I don’t know how better to phrase this than: smut which fits the characters; how does their canon dynamics spill over into hubba hubba stuff?
-sexual scenarios that subvert expectations a little and surprise the characters themselves
-sexual scenarios that contain an element of competition or antagonism
-“this is a bad idea but we’re going for it hammer and tongs”
-not wanting to admit feelings or show vulnerability except oops it happens anyway, whether the characters acknowledge it or not
-characters getting way more into the sex or being more affected by it than they thought they would
-quick and intense sex, slow and intense sex, rough yet willing sex (when it fits the characters), unexpectedly emotional and/or tender sex
-masturbation while thinking of the other half of the ship (or not wanting to think about them only oops there they are in the fantasy!)
-first time sex
-established relationship, we-know-each-other-so-well sex
-”we’ve both wanted this and now we both know it so here we go diving in headfirst” sex
-oral, vaginal, anal incl. pegging, manual (ifyouknowwhatImean) – all is good. You can go as veiled or as explicit as you like, but please avoid excessive medical jargon – I don’t find a lot of mention of “penis” or “clit” sexy.

Ship/smut DNWs:
MPREG, A/B/O, knotting
D/s, formalized BDSM, painful sex, hard kinks (holding someone down playfully, hair pulling and such like, the odd spank are a-OK)
scat, watersports

Other DNWs:

Pinch Hit #10 - Assault Lily Bouquet, Code Vein, Day Break Illusion, Sunday Without God - CLAIMED!


Request 1 by rubylily
アサルトリリィ BOUQUET | Assault Lily Bouquet (Anime)
WB: Lily Training (Assault Lily), WB: Magie (Assault Lily), WB: Ruins Outside Yurigaoka Academy (Assault Lily), Hitotsuyanagi Riri (Assault Lily), Fanfiction

Likes: friendship, romance, fluff, slice of life, action, happy endings, bittersweet endings, unrequited love, travel, hurt/comfort, especially h/c in which a character is sick or injured and another takes care of them, and so on. I don't mind if things get dark or violent for the characters (and some of my requested canons deal a lot with violence and death, and references to canon character death is fine), but I prefer fics that end on a hopeful or happy note. I'm also good with crossovers between any of my requested canons.

Do Not Want: rape, dubcon and other forms of abuse, outright downer endings, non-canon character death, infidelity, character/pairing/canon-bashing, AUs/alternate universes (this includes unrequested fusions and role reversal AUs), unrequested crossovers, daddy/mommy-kink, second-person POV, genderswap, unrequested identity-themed headcanons (e.g. gender headcanons, asexual headcanons, etc.), or unrequested pairings.

* Hitotsuyanagi Riri: Being one of the newest prospective Lilies at Yurigaoka Academy, Riri can give a unique perspective on the worldbuilding, and it's easy to imagine her natural friendliness and curiosity leading her to some new discoveries.

* WB: Lily Training: As a Lily, Riri's duty is to fight monstrous Huge. What is her day-to-day school life like? What kind of teachers and classes would the academy have? How often do the Huge attack, giving Riri and other Lilies the chance for hands-on experience? What kinds of injuries might Riri sustain during training and battles? What about training missions with her Schutzengel Yuyu or the other members of her legion?

* WB: Magie: Magie is what gives Lilies like Riri the ability to fight Huge, but it also powers the Huge. So, what exactly is Magie? What are its origins? What does Riri learn of the history of Magie in her classes? Is there a limit to how much Magie a Lily can use at once? In canon, we see Yuyu using Magie to use a ribbon like a weapon, so does Riri ask how she can wield Magie like that? What effects would Riri's Rare Skill "Charisma" have on Magie?

* WB: Ruins Outside Yurigaoka Academy: What kind of missions might take Riri and her legions to these ruins? How old are they? Were they once part of Yurigaoka Academy, or was the academy built near them because the ruins were likely a nest for Huge? What kind of history would the ruined walls hold? Maybe while exploring Riri discovers some forgotten piece of history concerning Lilies and Huge?

Ships: Riri/Yuyu, Riri/Kaede

Code Vein (Video Game)
WB: Attendants of the Relics (Code Vein), WB: Cathedral of Sacred Blood (Code Vein), WB: Ruined City (Code Vein), Io (Code Vein), Fanfiction

Likes: friendship, romance, fluff, slice of life, action, happy endings, bittersweet endings, unrequited love, travel, hurt/comfort, especially h/c in which a character is sick or injured and another takes care of them, and so on. I don't mind if things get dark or violent for the characters (and some of my requested canons deal a lot with violence and death, and references to canon character death is fine), but I prefer fics that end on a hopeful or happy note. I'm also good with crossovers between any of my requested canons.

Do Not Want: rape, dubcon and other forms of abuse, outright downer endings, non-canon character death, infidelity, character/pairing/canon-bashing, AUs/alternate universes (this includes unrequested fusions and role reversal AUs), unrequested crossovers, daddy/mommy-kink, second-person POV, genderswap, unrequested identity-themed headcanons (e.g. gender headcanons, asexual headcanons, etc.), or unrequested pairings.

* Io: An amnesiac, mysterious girl - as Io searches for both her Successor and the meaning of her existence, she'll give a different perspective on the post-apocalyptic setting of Vein.

* WB: Attendants of the Relics: Even without her memories, Io is still drawn to her Successor, but meeting her clones disturbs her quite a bit. What other Attendants did she encounter on her search? If an Attendant frenzies, what kind of Lost do they become? Did she ever endure the brutal experiments Mido subjected other Attendants to? If she finds other Attendants' vestiges, what memories would they hold? What ichor skills might Attendants have that other Revenants don't?

* WB: Cathedral of the Sacred Blood: The Cathedral is rather unique, but also extremely frustrating to navigate. After learning of her "sister" Leda, does Io return to the Cathedral in hopes of learning more about Attendants like herself? What kind of spiritual or even religious significance might the Cathedral hold for Io? How did it come into being? Is it intentionally difficult to navigate as a way to protect the Successor of the Heart?

* WB: Ruined City: The ruined city looks to be the main hub of Vein, and Io likely spent a lot of time in the city searching for her Successor. What other Revenants might Io have encountered? Maybe she and her companions find abandoned labs and learn more about the experiments with the BOR parasite? Does Io find any remnants of the city before the Great Collapse? What about libraries and newspapers and other bits of history?

Ships: Io/Female Protagonist

Fandom-specific DNW: Male protagonist, crossovers with the God Eater series

幻影ヲ駆ケル太陽 il sole penetra le illusioni | Day Break Illusion
WB: Astralux (Day Break Illusion), WB: Daemonia/Elemental Tarot User Hybrid(s) (Day Break Illusion), WB: Sephiro Fiore (Day Break Illusion), Taiyou Akari (Day Break Illusion), Fanfiction

Likes: friendship, romance, fluff, slice of life, action, happy endings, bittersweet endings, unrequited love, travel, hurt/comfort, especially h/c in which a character is sick or injured and another takes care of them, and so on. I don't mind if things get dark or violent for the characters (and some of my requested canons deal a lot with violence and death, and references to canon character death is fine), but I prefer fics that end on a hopeful or happy note.

* Taiyou Akari: Despite all that she's been through, Akari remains optimistic, and with her unique ability to hear the Daemonia's voices, she might find a way to change the relationship between Elemental Tarot Users and Daemonia.

* WB: Astralux: What exactly is the Astralux besides where Akari fights Daemonia? It's shown to influence the real world, but is there more to it than that? Is it safer to battle Daemonia within the Astralux? What if Akari ended up trapped in the Astralux without the means to transform? How would exploration and trying to escape go? What about the deeper levels, like the Sephirothic Tree Cerebrum took Akari to? Does Akari ever head there to learn more about her heritage?

* WB: Daemonia/Elemental Tarot User Hybrid(s): Does Akari ever struggle with her half-Daemonia side? When Cerebrum mentioned searching for an "avatar," what did it mean for Akari to be that avatar? Have there been others like her? Would the rest of Sephiro Fiore and the Leguzario think of her as dangerous? Would other Daemonia with free will like Cerebrum think of her as a traitor? If Akari struggles with maintaining control over her Daemonia side, would she look to Luna for help? Would Akari ever have a monstrous form like Luna's wolf form?

* WB: Sephiro Fiore: Which branches of Sephiro Fiore do Akari and her friends visit after canon? What other Elemental Tarot users do they meet? What about other members of Sephiro Fiore who aren't Elemental Tarot users? What repercussions does the Cerebrum incident have on Sephiro Fiore? How much do other members of Sephiro Fiore know about Akari's half-Daemonia nature and her ability to hear the Daemonia's voices?

Ships: Akari/Ginka, Akari/Luna, Akari/Seira

神さまのいない日曜日 | Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi | Sunday Without God (Anime & Manga)
WB: Abandoned Places (Sunday Without God), WB: Post-canon Ostia (Sunday Without God), WB: Religion & Myths (Sunday Without God), Julie Sakuma Dmitriyevich (Sunday Without God), Fanfiction

Likes: friendship, romance, fluff, slice of life, action, happy endings, bittersweet endings, unrequited love, travel, hurt/comfort, especially h/c in which a character is sick or injured and another takes care of them, and so on. I don't mind if things get dark or violent for the characters (and some of my requested canons deal a lot with violence and death, and references to canon character death is fine), but I prefer fics that end on a hopeful or happy note. I'm also good with crossovers between any of my requested canons.

Do Not Want: rape, dubcon and other forms of abuse, outright downer endings, non-canon character death, infidelity, character/pairing/canon-bashing, AUs/alternate universes (this includes unrequested fusions and role reversal AUs), unrequested crossovers, daddy/mommy-kink, second-person POV, genderswap, unrequested identity-themed headcanons (e.g. gender headcanons, asexual headcanons, etc.), or unrequested pairings.

* Julie Sakuma Dmitriyevich: Julie is the oldest of Ai's group and rather cynical compared to her, and since he was born before God supposedly abandoned the world, he'll have a different view of the world than Ai and the others.

* WB: Abandoned Places: In a dying world with no new births, more and more places will end up abandoned, so what kind of forgotten places do Julie, Ai, and others find? Maybe some of them might even be haunted? Do they find remnants like diaries and letters from before God's abandonment? Does Julie visit places of his past, now abandoned? Before he met Ai and the others, what ghost towns and cities did he pass by on his travels?

* WB: Post-canon Ostia: How goes the rebuilding of Ostia? The city's been trapped in an endless loop for fourteen years, so even though Julie and the others were only in that time loop briefly, what are the effects of suddenly being able to feel the flow of time again? Does the group decide to stay in Ostia? Julie might think of it as a good place to raise Celica, or he and the others might grow restless instead. How would such a city thrive in a dying world?

* WB: Religion & Myths: Since Julie was born before the world changed, he would know that there was no great proclamation when God supposedly abandoned the world, so he probably has a rather cynical view of religion. How have religious beliefs changed since that faithful day? How are miracles now perceived, with people's deepest wishes actually coming true? What about places of worship? What kinds of myths have sprung up about gravekeepers?
