Hello dear chocolatier! Thanks for offering one or more of my fandoms. Below are lists of my general likes and Do Not Wants, but I also wanted to note a couple things.

I ask a lot of questions in my prompts, but this is not a school essay; you don’t have to answer them! The questions I pose are just thoughts I have about canon or character interactions, a guide for what I might want to see in a work or how you can think about what you want to create.

I am always okay with non-requested characters making appearances as long as they don’t become the focus of the work.

Smut is welcome, as long as it’s consensual. I usually like a bit of build up before getting into the action (e.g. clothes are on in the opening paragraphs). Polyamory/threesomes/moresomes are also welcome! You are welcome to look at the bookmarks in my AO3 profile to get a better idea of what I like.

Please remember that optional details are optional! It’s always a joy to be given a gift of any kind. If there’s something you’re unsure about, you can always contact my friend pugglemuggle (aka rythyme), who can give you advice without spoiling anything for me.

General likes (in no particular order):

• Reincarnation/past lives: I love when people are so destined for each other that they keep meeting in every lifetime
• Soulmates: marks (like names, first/last words, where they’re first touched by each other), seeing colors (gray scale to full color, seeing every color except their soulmates eyes until they meet), or any other fun concept
• In-universe crossovers: characters that have never met in canon randomly meeting without knowing how they’re connected (like waiting next to each other in line somewhere, or sitting next to each other on the bus)
• Character A calling character B by their first name in a stressful/intimate moment when normally A would use B’s last name or title
• Epistolary/multimedia
• Character A doing something that makes character B’s heart swell and think “oh my god I love them”
• Secret relationships and/or established relationships
• Character A has trouble sleeping and can only get a good night’s sleep when they share a bed with character B
• Snowed in/sharing a bed
• Ferris wheel dates/confessions

Do Not Wants (also in no particular order):

• Unhappy/tragic/hopeless endings
• Permanent break-ups (of relationships or friendships)
• Rape/non-con
• Incest (including adopted relatives and step-relatives)
• Daddy kink, pet play, dom-sub lifestyle dynamics, slavery
• De-aging/age regression
• Kidfic, meaning characters having children or becoming children (Canonical child characters are okay)
• Non-canonical major character death (characters who are dead/die in canon are okay, as are random background characters/OC)
• Pet death
• Extreme graphic violence
• Pregnancy/mpreg
• Texting/chatfics (occasional short text conversations are fine but I do not want the entire body of work to be just texting)
• First person POV

On to the requests! These are not listed in order of preference. Also, the “additional comments” are just there in case I think of anything to add once sign-ups are closed.


Request 1: Lupin III

• Relationships: Lupin/Goemon/Jigen/Zenigata, Lupin/Goemon/Jigen, Lupin/Goemon/Jigen/Fujiko, Lupin/Zenigata, Goemon/Jigen, Goemon/Fujiko, Lupin/Jigen
• Request: “I love all these characters and how they interact with each other! Crime polycule!! Zany wacky hijinks are fun, but so is interpersonal drama. Does someone bite off more than they could chew and end up getting injured? Does someone have to swallow their pride and admit they were wrong? Does someone get jealous (of a big diamond or a close relationship)? Any combination of the requested ships is good for me (including sub combinations).

  I have seen a couple of movies and a bunch of episodes from part II. I am caught up on the first 12 episodes of part 6. I would appreciate no major spoilers for parts 4 & 5 (though I know Yata is there, he can be included if you want).”

• Additional comments:

Request 2: Fallout: New Vegas

• Relationships: Arcade&Veronica, Boone/F!Courier, Christine/Veronica, F!Courier/Veronica
• Request: “For Arcade&Veronica: mlm/wlw solidarity. I love queer friendships, and I'd love to see these two leaning on each other in the harshness of the wasteland, especially coming from two different (but still closeted) backgrounds.
  

  For Boone/F!Courier: this man has 3 IN and 1 CH. He's 26. He's stupid. Someone strong and smart and sexy please save him from himself.

  For Christine/Veronica: I want them to have a happy ending!! Christine finally healing from the Sierra Madre and Veronica finally getting to be happy with her (and wear a nice dress).

For F!Courier/Veronica: See above but with someone new and different." 

• Additional comments:

Request 3: Ace Attorney

• Relationships: Gumshoe/Edgeworth, Gumshoe/Edgeworth/Phoenix, Edgeworth/Phoenix
• Request: “For Gumshoe/Edgeworth: I like the headcanon that they were sort of attracted to each other/had a one night stand before Phoenix came into Edgeworth's life. Blowing off steam? Years of repression manifesting into a night of passion? Maybe Edgeworth just appreciates all the work the detective does for him.

For Gumshoe/Edgeworth/Phoenix: see above but throw Phoenix into the mix. Gumshoe invited into Edgeworth/Phoenix's relationship as a third maybe?

For Edgeworth/Phoenix: landmark ship for me really. I love everything about them, childhood friends to enemies to rivals to friends to lovers to dads. Feel free to include Trucy.

I have played the original trilogy, plus the first investigations game. I am halfway through the second investigations game. I am aware of general series spoilers regarding 4, 5, and 6, but please try to avoid spoilers for those series anyways (except for Trucy! I love her).”

• Additional comments:

Request 4: Mass Effect Trilogy

• Relationships: Kaidan/M!Shepard, F!Shepard/Garrus, James/M!Shepard
• Request: “For Kaidan/M!Shep: I like the idea that Kaidan didn't realize he was also attracted to men until Shepard died in ME2. His feelings were growing all throughout ME1 but he didn't really understand them until Shepard is gone. And how lucky is he that he gets a second chance in ME3? (I really love Kaidan okay, he was my very first video game crush)

For F!Shep/Garrus: a landmark ship for me. They just complement each other so well, best friends and lovers. I always think about Thane's story about his wife standing in front of his shot and how Shepard can do the same thing during Garrus' loyalty mission.

For James/M!Shep: Oh James, my big beefy stupid (but also kind of smart) meow meow. The idea that Shepard starts flirting with him and James doesn't realize until they have moved very far along is funny to me.”

• Additional comments:

Request 5: Yakuza

• Relationships: Majima&Haruka, Kiryu/Majima&Haruka, Kiryu/Majima
• Request: “The three relationships I have requested all kind of go together. I love dads. I love big beefy dudes and their small daughters. Kiryu and Haruka are so sweet and I wish he would take better care of her instead of just running off to do whatever yakuza bullshit of the year comes up. Actually saying "no, figure it out for yourself, I need to make lunch for my daughter so she can go to school". Seeing Majima parenting would be very fun too, or even in a scenario where Kiryu is incapacitated somehow and he has to take care of Haruka (no, listen, he has to). Weird Uncle Majima becoming Weird Dad Majima. Kiryu seeing that and realizing this crazy man he's in love with is somehow shockingly more responsible than he thought?

  I have played Yakuza 0 and Kiwami 1. I have just started Kiwami 2 but am not very far along, and am aware of general story spoilers for the rest of the series (including the big thing at end of Y6)."
