Dear Creator

Hello dear creator! Thanks for offering at least one of my ships! Below are a list of my general likes and Do Not Wants, but I also wanted to say a few things up here first.

I realize I ask a lot of questions in my prompts; don't feel like you have to answer them! They are thoughts I have about canon, about character interactions, that can be a guide for what I want to see in a work and how you can think about what you want to create. This isn't a test, I'm not going to be checking to see if every question has an answer! I am always okay with other characters being included that weren't specifically requested, as long as they aren't the focus of the work.

I'm okay with smut or no smut, but I usually prefer at least 50% of the work to not be smut (aka Porn With Plot). For threesomes and moresomes, I'm totally fine reading polyamory or "one night stands", aka committed relationships with 3+ people or single sexual ventures with 3+ people. Either is fine! There are interesting aspects to both that I love to read.

Please remember that optional details are optional! If you are unsure about something that you are writing, you can always contact my friend pugglemuggle, who can give you advice without spoiling anything for me! I do also have anonymous messaging turned on on tumblr, but do note that the mods discourage contacting your recipient directly, even if anonymously.


General likes (in no particular order):

• Reincarnation/past lives: I love when people are so destined for each other that they keep meeting even after they die and are reborn. Not even death can keep them apart.
• Soulmates: seeing colors (gray scale to colorful world, or not being able to see the color of their soulmates eyes until they meet), marks (names, first/last words, non-permanent markings, where they are first touched by each other), countdown timers. Bonus points for society having structure about these things: do arranged marriages still exist? Should you hide your marks from other people? Is it frowned upon if you date people other than your soulmate? Are soulmates determined by fate, or is it that the person you fall in love with becomes your soulmate?
• Mundane superpowers ("gifts"), like being able to stay warm when it's cold, or small object summoning. Little superpowers.
• In-universe crossovers: characters that have never met in canon (but are part of the same canon) randomly meeting without knowing how they are connected, but they're in line at the grocery store, or waiting for the bus, something mundane and unexpected instead of some amazing climactic meeting.
• In anime fandoms (or wherever applicable), characters still on a last name basis using the first name of a character they care about in times of crisis, like when they're sick or if they're unconscious and can't hear the other person
• Identity porn
• Magical realism: improbable things that are just probable enough to happen without magic, but it really is magic. Things that wouldn't work in real life, like rituals or wishes or prayers, that work here, in fiction.
• Epistolary/multimedia: whether that be incorporating social media elements, a series of letters, text message exchanges, images what have you, I like it! I would prefer that the entire work not be all texting/messaging, (as I am exhausted by the glut of textfics/chatfics), and that there at least be some overarching narrative if there is no typical prose included.
• A "lightbulb" moment: when character A does something that's so endearing/typical/unexpected that character B just instantly falls in love with them, so quickly that it's like a lightbulb turning on. "Oh! I love them." (a fun variation is "oh no, they're hot")

General tropes that I like (in no particular order):

• emotional hurt/comfort
• secret relationships (bonus for long term)/established relationships
• character A has nightmares that only stop when they share a bed with character B
• angst with happy endings (there can be as much suffering as you want in the beginning and middle but I always want a happy, or tending towards happy ending)
• plenty of healthy communication (though miscommunication followed by communication is fine)
• size difference
• things that are realistically awkward being awkward
• mutual pining
• sharing a bed
• snowed in
• ferris wheel dates/confessions

Do Not Wants:

• character/ship bashing
• permanent break-ups (either of relationships or friendships)
• rape/non-con
• incest (including adopted relatives and step-relatives)
• snuff/necrophilia
• non-canonical major character death (unless otherwise specified)
• scat/vomit
• vore/guro/sexual gore/cannibalism
• torture (exceptions will be explicitly stated)
• daddy kink/pet play/dom-sub lifestyle dynamics/slavery (mentions of canonical slavery is okay)
• de-aging/age regression/kidfic
• pregnancy/mpreg
• texting/chatfics (I do not want to read a log of your discord/skype/RP conversation with your friend that has the usernames changed)
• intentional badfic (crack errs on this, so please don't write it if you don't know me well)

Now that that's out of the way, on to the requests! (don't worry about the additional comments being empty, that's just a place for me to put any extra thoughts if I have any after sign ups, but I usually don't). If you have matched with me on more than one request, please know that I have not listed these in order of preference.

Somehow I missed in the sign up form that you could request relationships as well as characters... so please know that I am definitely asking for shipfic (though gen is fine if you are uncomfortable writing shipfic).


Request 1: Free!

• Characters: Matsuoka Gou, Mikoshiba Isuzu, Mikoshiba Seijuurou, Shigino Kisumi, Shiina Asahi
• Request: "Gou/Seijuurou is my ultimate rarepair that I can never find anything of, so please scratch my itch. How did they start dating? Who asked who first? How was that first date? How does Rin feel about his former captain dating his sister? Alternatively, all of the above but with Isuzu because she did not get enough screen time. I also burn for Asahi/Kisumi, something I didn't really ship until this season. Asahi is exactly the dumb idiot that I love and that Kisumi loves as well. They're going to the same school again, does that rekindle old feelings? Do they start back up where they left off, or are things too different now that they have to start over again?"

Request 2: Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru/Run with the Wind

• Characters: Hirata Akihiro, Iwakura Yukihiko, Kamara Musa, Kashiwazaki Akane, Kiyose Haiji, Kurahara Kakeru, Sugiyama Takashi
• Request: "I'm so excited to finally have a sports anime set in college, and with running no less! I used to run track as well so I relate to this show so hard (particularly with Prince and Nico-chan) and I just-- !!! I just love it. I love the team's slow, steady improvement. I love how hard Haiji works for them, so I would love to see them throwing some love back his way (you may interpret that however you wish). I love how everyone is getting better, not just physically fit, but they're changing their lives too. Nico-chan (it feels weird to refer to him by name) quitting smoking, Kakeru letting people in, the Prince trying... not manga... Shindo and Musa have a very cute relationship, so I would love to see more of them. I also ship the "adults" too-- Yuki-chan-senpai and Nico-chan-senpai. Their dynamic is really good, Yuki saying he hates the smoke but then he misses it when it's gone... !! It's so good. I also love Haiji/Kakeru, Kakeru opening up more and expressing himself and Haiji letting people take care of him, letting people support him, because I really feel like they bring out the best in each other and I'd love to see more of that!"

Request 3: Tsurune: Kazemai Koukou Kyuudoubu

• Characters: Fujiwara Shuu, Hanazawa Yuuna, Narumiya Minato, Onogi Kaito, Seo Rikka, Shiragiku Noa, Takehaya Seiya, Takigawa Masaki, Yamanouchi Ryouhei
• Request: "Specifically for this request I do not want Takigawa Masaki involved in any sexual/romantic relationship with any student. It caught me by surprise how emotional and soft this show is. I'll admit, the first episode had me completely fooled into thinking Masa-san was a ghost, so now obviously I want a fic where he is! Being a teacher in a less literal sense, a presence at the shrine that nudges lost people in the direction they need to go. I'm gonna be honest, I think I ship Minato with his entire team? Seiya is good, Kacchan is good. I'd love to see Seiya exploring how he feels about the accident, about Minato and all of their shared history. Or Kacchan getting to know Minato, his physical and emotional scars, getting to the point where he wants Minato to call him Kacchan (the name drama that happened at the end KILLED ME, I loved it so much). Also I love the girls and I just want MORE. Platonic or romantic, I just wanna see them! Doing anything! I think at one point it's kind of implied that Shiragiku and Hanazawa have a crush on Seo? So like, yes please."

Request 4: Haikyuu!!

• Characters: Akaashi Keiji, Bokuto Kotarou
• Request: "With these new manga chapters coming out I have SO many feelings about these two (but I won't say more because possible spoilers). Akaashi burning in secret for his big dumb spiker who's too focused on balls to notice. Or maybe they're both pining? Knowing that they like each other but too scared to make the first move? Who does, or what outside force pushes them together? Akaashi's third year of high school/Bokuto's first year of college must be hard for them. How do they deal with it? How do they feel when they can be together again, back on the same team? I also love the idea that Bokuto thinks Akaashi is just, the most beautiful person to exist. Completely enamored."
