fluffybunDear Rare Pair Fest Writer:
Hello! I'm really happy that we've matched on any of my fandoms + ships, because I would love to see more fanworks for any of them :)
I apologize for the length of this letter - feel free to skip whatever doesn't interest you! My prompts are a mix of phrases and possible plots - feel free to ignore/mix/choose what appeals to you in any combination (or just one) or ignore all if you have your own idea :)
General Likes: I love humor, gen, romance, exploring sides of a character that haven't been dwelled on before, and slice-of-life things :) I have a weakness for a lot of tropes including against all odds, all the firsts (of a relationship or a friendship), arranged marriages that work out, coming of age, competence, drunken confessions, earn your happy endings, embracing imperfections, finding home, happy endings, holiday fics, love letters, maybe ever afters, pretend couples become real, secret identities, strong friendships, unexpected love, unrequited pining that is eventually requited, and UST that eventually gets resolved. I do like most AUs (ex. Victorian, modern, crossover/fusion AUs (with any of the fandoms listed below, any fandom I've written for, or can ask the mods if you want ^^), detective AUs, different era AUs, fairytale AUs, mafia AU, medical AUs) :) I also like canon divergent AUs :) I love using different methods to tell a story (letters, emails, diaries, what have you). I also love missing scenes, pre-canon, and post-canon stories :) I also like '5 Things' Stories :)
Examples of H/C tropes I love: accepting injury to protect someone else, amnesia, atonement, illnesses, comfort food/item, cuddling, disappearing, falls from grace, forced to face fear, hospital stays, hugs, learning to be loved, mistaken identity, being on the run, sacrifices, scars, taking care of someone, trapped together, trust issues
General Dislikes: explicit underage sex (please age up any underage character), bad medicine/science (unless related to canon or plot point), rape/non-con unless needed for plot (and please not explicit), incest, scat, graphic violence, bodily fluid play, genderswap AU, A/B/O, bestiality, sex worker AUs/characters getting STDs, character death (of my requested characters) nor mpreg please.
I would love to receive anything for any of my requested fandoms and ships - there are more prompts for some of them because 1) I've requested more ships for those fandoms and racked my brain for fic prompts for all of them and 2) I had more ideas for some of them. :) My fandoms are ordered alphabetically and not in any order of preference :) I try to keep up with the latest developments in the ongoing canons I've requested (as they appear in English), so feel free to incorporate any of them as you wish (applies to Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Pokemon Special, and Hakuouki).
Anne of Green Gables - L. M. Montgomery
Walter Blythe/Una Meredith
Disclosure: Have read all of the Anne of Green Gables books.
Comments: So much love for these two characters and I wanted so much for them to have a happy ending together. (Alas, it was not meant to be.) That moment at the train when everyone sees Walter off and when Rilla gives Una Walter's letter - my heart, it breaks all the times I've read those moments in Rilla of Ingleside. I feel they could have been so good for each other...
Possible prompts: AU where Walter doesn't die (maybe he was just missing, captured like Jem, or there was a mistake somewhere and he was just gravely injured) and she is able to meet him again! What does Walter say to Una in his letters to her during the war? (And what does she say to him? We know she never confesses to him, but what if she did?) Little moments in Rainbow Valley between them, childhood moments growing up, or chance encounters pre-War. What if Una had told him of her feelings before he left/during the war? Would anything have changed? In a different time, how would these two meet, and would they have a chance to get together? (AU/Reincarnation fic!)
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Disclosure: Have watched the anime and have read the manga up to chapter 63 and planning to read the available translations for the later chapters.
Hori Masayuki/Sakura Chiyo
Comments: I really like how these two balance each other (and how sometimes they are the only sane people in their group). They've helped Nozaki out together multiple times with his deficiencies in drawing manga (from backgrounds to keeping track of where people sit at a party) and they seem to be on the same wavelength more often than not (except for Hori's violent tendencies towards Kashima, haha). And writing on the manga drafts! <33 And Hori and Sakura's conversation about briefs! So many cute moments in between.
Possible prompts: Maybe Sakura helps out more with the Drama Club backgrounds (and controlling Kashima from messing things up) and things progress from there? Or something while helping Nozaki with his manga? (Maybe Sakura takes lessons on learning how to draw backgrounds from Hori to help him ostentatiously to help Nozaki at first but eventually to help Hori-senpai? Or helping him gather stock pictures for reference and going on trips together?) Maybe something post-high school - they end up in the same classes and grow closer there? Maybe Hori actually gets his growth spurt and becomes a leading man and wows everyone including Sakura? Hori helping her deal with her feelings for Nozaki (who remains clueless) and they grow together? How would they get together?
Mikoshiba Mikoto/Sakura Chiyo
Comments: I really like this couple since Sakura is so capable of taking care of Mikorin and Mikorin shows her his true self (which he doesn't show to many, many other girls that he throws his charm at) and how they understand each other's weaknesses (hers: Nozaki; him: numerous things, but mostly his own tendencies ^^).
Possible prompts: Maybe something about Sakura moving on from her crush on Nozaki and Mikorin being less dense/more dense than Nozaki? (Or Mikorin being a second-guesser because he's Mikorin and not understanding that Sakura has moved on?) Maybe Mikorin starts trying his lines exclusively on Sakura and she thinks it's just practice so that he doesn't have such self-regret after saying them to other girls? Awkward first dates/kisses or not-dates that everyone else thinks they are? Maybe they play a galge together and Mikorin is shocked by Sakura's advice going against what he knows? (And Sakura being confused at how the girls in the galges react at times?) Future fic - when they're in university (and possibly still taking time to help Nozaki)? How would these two get together, basically? How would their first date go? (And will Mikorin use galge tactics?)
Nozaki Umetarou/Sakura Chiyo
Comments: Nozaki's obliviousness and Sakura's Nozaki vision <3 Only Nozaki could pull out so many lines like 'would you like to come over' and it all becomes manga related in the end :) But at the festival - Nozaki's move with the apple! <3 As Sakura gets to know Nozaki more she finds more things to love about him (although it doesn't stop her from trying to guide him when he's going down the totally wrong path of his assumptions).
Possible prompts: Maybe anything about Nozaki being less dense! Maybe he then starts pulling moves he's drawn for his manga (and Sakura misunderstanding)? How would Nozaki act when he's in love? If Nozaki's manga starts getting more romantic, could anything have happened between the two? Will Nozaki ever remember how they first met (and Sakura's unintended inspiring of Mamiko's hairstyle)? Does Sakura ever wear the sailor uniform for Nozaki? (Or anything he asks her to 'for research'?) How would these two get together? (And will it involve manga?) Does Nozaki ever remember what really happened on the first day of school (and how they met) and what would happen if he did? What kind of dates do they go on?
Sakura Chiyo/Seo Yuzuki
Comments: A very improbable relationship especially with the first impression of Seo, but these two have a wonderful friendship (for all the misunderstandings that go on in this entire canon regarding everyone else). I love how they support each other in their own ways and they have so many cute moments in the anime/manga (e.g. Seo teaching Sakura how to get corn kernels out of a can as she tells Nozaki and Miyako, how Seo shows Sakura Waka's 'challenge' letter and the aftermath of that, how Sakura clearly enjoys Seo's singing, Sakura asking Seo what Hori's drawing looks like and Seo's deadpan answer and of course, the umbrella scene <33 I may have missed some other moments). These two just work and accept each other so well <3
Possible prompts: As these two have one of the more surprisingly normal friendships in the series, I'd love to see how that could progress to more. (And everyone's reactions to it!) It's sweet that Sakura supports Seo in her singing and visits her at club time (and even records her songs), maybe something from these moments? Or Seo advises Sakura (in her own Seo way) on how to get Nozaki (and things happen from there, maybe Sakura realizing who was there all along to support her in her own Seo-ish way)? Girls' night out progressing to more? I'd be happy with romance during or post-high school (and possible failed relationships along the way) for these two, since it'd be a big step for them that may need multiple pushes for them to realize their feelings for each other, as long as there's a happy ending for them :) Maybe Sakura becomes Seo's agent if she decides to go pro in singing?
Hakuouki
Disclosure: I have played the original game (and the iOS exclusive story) and watched the anime (Hakuouki and Reimeiroku)/OAVs/movies. I have not played the action game for PSP. I have also not played SSL nor Reimeiroku but am aware of the major plot points of both (as well as Zuisoroku). Feel free to use any canon/meld them in any way.
General prompts for this series (feel free to use instead of the more specific prompts or mix them as needed if you want): Modern AU (can be SSL verse or not), what if the Shinsengumi won the war AU (and what would change), what if Chizuru got involved with the Shinsengumi another way (e.g. the Shinsengumi came to Edo to find Kodo and find her instead, or she is 'rescued' from the Choshu side by the Shinsengumi without knowing that her father has gone over to that side), mafia AUs. Missing moments in the series (ex. before Ikeda Inn, before Toba-Fushimi, in Aizu, during epilogue). Reincarnation fic (where they can be aware of it or not, or only some of them are)! AUs where Chizuru is made aware of her demon heritage much, much earlier (and maybe told by Kodo) because of undetermined reasons? Crossovers very welcome (feel free to ask through the mods or see if I've written in the fandom you want to cross it over with).
Amagiri Kyuuju/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: Particularly in Saitou's route, one can see that Amagiri would rather Chizuru die than be maltreated by Kazama (as the big bad of the route). This caring for her well-being/sanity struck me as rather sweet (and is the birth of my belief in this crack ship). In all routes Amagiri clearly respects Chizuru and Chizuru finds Amagiri polite and honorable to a fault, compared to his other companions.
Possible prompts: "Amagiri decides that the best person to protect Yukimura Chizuru from Kazama/humans is him and acts accordingly." How would an Amagiri route go? (Would it go something like Kazama's route, or be different?) Bodyguard AUs where he is tasked to protect her from suitors as his duty? AUs where Chizuru is left not with Kodo but with Amagiri's clan instead, or she is tasked to find her demon heritage instead when Kodo doesn't return (or encounters Amagiri's side of the war first)?
Harada Sanosuke/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: Clearly one of the happiest routes in the game (since Sano doesn't turn rasetsu). I like that Sano clearly cherishes Chizuru and is obvious about it (compared to the other routes where things get romantic pretty much at the end of the routes alone). It is clear that even in the other routes that Sano does care for Chizuru (especially seen in the common route and when he leaves with Nagakura and says goodbye to her), and exemplified in the anime/movies in numerous scenes.
Possible prompts: Missing moments post-first kiss (and will others take note of their budding relationship)? How does Sano remind Chizuru that she is a woman even as she pretends to be a man (!!!)? How would these two meet and fall in love in a different time? Sano is the only route where there really is no direct Kazama confrontation - post-war, does Sano have a confrontation with Kazama to protect Chizuru and how would that end well? (Would Shiranui step in?) While I really like that Sano never takes the Water of Life in his route, what circumstance would make him take it (in a canon divergent AU), possibly to protect him and Chizuru and how would they deal with his becoming a rasetsu? Life in Manchuria in the epilogue? Sano teaching Chizuru how to fight?
Okita Souji/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: One of the most heart-wrenching routes for me in the game because of Okita's illness/reason for drinking the Water of Life (and the bad ending!!!) - one sees how his feelings for Chizuru change from mild interest/suspicion to love and how Chizuru's feelings grow with every death threat/teasing/flirting Okita does <3
Possible prompts: Okita teasing Chizuru over something of your choice (her feelings for him, sudden outbursts of caring for him, how she looks when dressed up, etc.). Reincarnation fic where they finally have a longer lifetime together (in a time where either Okita doesn't get TB or treatment is much, much better with detection) and how they find each other (whether they remember each other or not, or only one of them does)?
Saitou Hajime/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: These two are so sweet and adorably awkward together <3 Their devotion is so wonderful and Saitou's moments post-blood drinking melted my heart as much as Chizuru's. More in the extras - Saitou being awkward around Chizuru (when he sees her in geisha garb and when he's drunk) is so cute and the scene with Chizuru giving Saitou a snow rabbit <333
Possible prompts: Being awkward together for reasons of your choice (maybe they have to go in disguise together somewhere/pretend to be a couple)? Learning to live with each other post-game (and all the awkward moments)? Missing moments in Aizu/Edo/Kyoto? How would Saitou handle/take care of a pregnant Chizuru? How does Chizuru deal with the workaholic Saitou in Aizu/in exile/Edo/Kyoto? Being teased by other Shinsengumi members about their feelings? Finding each other after the war (if Chizuru was forced to go with Hijikata in the Saitou route and he didn't die)? In a different time, how would these two find each other?
Okita Souji/Yukimura Chizuru/Saitou Hajime
Comments/Prompts: There were certain moments in the series with the three of them together that I loved so much (usually Okita teasing Chizuru with Saitou defending her or calling Okita out on his trolling) and I'd love to see more of that <3 (Chizuru and Saitou being polite and shy and awkward and Okita trolling the hell out of them for something, maybe? Maybe Chizuru and Saitou try to turn the tables on Okita - if they can?) In the games/anime, there is no time when both of them are furies (only in the movies) - how would they deal with it if both (or all three of them) are furies? Living together post-war in the north? How would any of their relationship milestones go (first times, first days living together, etc)?
Senhime/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: I love how much the two care for each other in the various routes (especially seen in the Okita, Hijikata, and Heisuke routes) - Sen clearly wants to keep Chizuru safe, even when they haven't interacted much, to the point of endangering herself to do so (especially in the Heisuke route!!!). In the Heisuke route especially, it is clear that Senhime definitely treasures Chizuru as a close friend at least, to the point of offering herself instead to Kazama and Chizuru being an important part of her coming to her senses in the climax of the route. Chizuru, on her part, especially treasures Sen in the Heisuke route to the point of placing herself in danger to save her.
Possible prompts: How would a Sen route go in Hakuouki? (Maybe Sen would help Chizuru in taking her place in the demon world as the last of the Yukimuras? Take care of her after the war, particularly in the forever alone route?) What if Sen had found Chizuru first before she ran into the Shinsengumi or right after she had just met them? What if Chizuru had taken Sen up on her offer to leave with them? Maybe Sen visits Chizuru post-game (as promised in the Heisuke route) and takes her back to Yase? In an AU setting, how would these two meet and have a friendship/romance? In Sen giving love advice to Chizuru, will Chizuru realize who's been there all along and her greatest supporter?
Sannan Keisuke/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: In all the routes, it is clear that Chizuru is very aware of Sannan and he of her. Chizuru's worry for Sannan never really ends, even in the routes when he is more dangerous to her (Harada's/Heisuke's). Sannan's feelings for Chizuru (other than wanting her blood) are less clear, admittedly, and are seen more in the extras (like his giving her a hairpin in Heisuke's DLC, her preparing riceballs for him to easily eat post-injury in the manga).
Possible prompts: All the dirty bad possibilities of this relationship ^^; Sannan finally getting Chizuru's blood (and will he go crazy over it or actually become saner) or Chizuru giving her blood willingly to Sannan for reasons (her feelings, being confused, etc)? (and will this lead to a Heisuke ending Sannan or a Hijikata end Sannan?) Is there another confrontation with Kazama over Chizuru? Can Sannan survive the war to live the rest of his life with Chizuru, and how? (Probably bittersweet like all rasetsu endings, but I'd still love to read it!) What could have changed if Sannan had taken Chizuru as his page (instead of her being assigned to Hijikata) - would Chizuru be less afraid of Sannan when he desires her blood or possibly more afraid?
Yamazaki Susumu/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: It is clear that Yamazaki's relationship with Chizuru changes over the course of the game from suspicion (Ikeda) to trust (particularly in Okita's route). In the extras, we do see Yamazaki, among other things, pretend to be a ninja and protect her from drunk Choshu samurai ^^; His concern for her is best seen in Okita's route where he tells Okita to tell her to rest, how he insists he will accompany her to her house in Edo because he was tasked to protect her and Okita, and their final goodbye (*bawls*).
Possible prompts: Anything about these two together would be wonderful, all the missing scenes possibilities <3 (And feel free to edit Yamazaki's fate.) Helping to treat the Shinsengumi together? Attempting to spy on enemies again together (hopefully a better attempt than infiltrating Shimabara and pretending to be a lady and ninja)? Is there a possibility of Yamazaki drinking the Water of Life and would he do it for Chizuru? (And what would be the aftermath of that?) How would a Yamazaki route go? Bodyguard AUs/Lady and Ninja AUs?
Liar Game
Disclosure: Have read the entire manga. Not too familiar with the Jdrama/Kdrama.
Akiyama Shinichi/Kanzaki Nao
Comments: The trust these two have in each other is amazing and probably sold me on that ship (especially with the line 'I'm Kanzaki Nao's property'). :) For all that Akiyama is a jaded ex-con he certainly ends up wanting to believe in Nao's dreams and doing his best to help her achieve them (even when hope is nearly lost).
Possible prompts: How would these two get together? Akiyama and Nao visiting his mother's grave, or Akiyama and Nao meeting Nao's father? Domestic life after? Just getting together post series, maybe spending the holidays together! Akiyama helping Nao with college assignments or whatever trouble she gets into? Telling the others they've met in the Liar Game about their relationship?(And probably everyone saying "We know.") How would the two deal with the cliffhanger ending in the manga (because Nao would never let Akiyama do that alone, even if Akiyama would rather she not involve herself)? In a different time and place, how would these two meet and get together?
Pocket Monsters (Main Video Game Series)
Disclosure: Have played all the main games. Feel free to include other characters/Pokemon as needed or incorporate concepts of later games in earlier ones (e.g. Mega Evolution, Triple Battles, etc.).
Calme/Haruka | Calem/May (Pokemon Main Game)
Comments: No chance of real evidence, but I find the possibility of two young champions of different regions very intriguing. Other permutations are also intriguing: one of them being the rival character and one being the champion, or both being the rival characters.
Possible prompts: Anything goes here, dynamics depending on whether they are both Champions or both the rival characters or one is a champion and the other is a rival character. Researching Mega Evolution together (with or without involvement of other people). How and why would they meet (Champions Tournament? Researching on Mega Stones and challenging each other for a Mega Stone? Randomly running into each other in Lumiose City and Calem telling May that if she runs out of money she can battle the driver instead of paying? XP)? Does one of them blow the other out of the water in a Pokemon Battle in another region/one of their home regions and the other wonders who they are?
Calme/Serena | Calem/Serena (Pokemon Main Game)
Comments: I love how their relationship changes and deepens in the span of the whole game - how their relationship changes from cut-and-dried rivalry to wanting to understand each other and his/her Pokemon better and to want to improve for himself/herself alone. Feel free to decide who is the Champion and who is the Rival. :)
Possible prompts: How would these two get together? (And would it necessitate interfering friends/family/Pokemon/Professor Sycamore/enemies/Mega Evolution?) Travelling together to another region? Does the rival ever seriously challenge the Champion (after going through the Elite Four)? Working together to stop another evil organization? Spending the holidays together? Bachelor/Bachelorette TV shows where the Rival sweeps the competition through battling? XP
Haruka/Tsuwabuki Daigo | May/Steven Stone (Pokemon Main Game)
Comments: I don't mind if you use the dynamics of R/S/E or ORAS in writing this couple :) What I like about this pairing is how Steven Stone respects May (as the player character) because she proves herself worthy of respect, despite her being new to Pokemon training.
Possible prompts: How would these two get together (and when)? An exploration of their feelings during/post-game? Finding each other again after Steven leaves to travel the world (or maybe he comes back)? Letter writing/PokeNav messages while they're apart? He ginally comes back to Hoenn and confronts his feelings for her that won't disappear? May goes on a quest to find Steven and challenges him? Why does Steven leave May a Beldum and what events occur because of it? First dates, last dates (as single people), not-dates that look like dates to everyone else? (Would other people try to matchmake them?)
Notes: For this couple particularly, I'd prefer it if you age May up (to at least sixteen-eighteen) during her journey through Hoenn. ^^
Kotone/Ohkido Green | Lyra/Blue Oak (Pokemon Main Game)
Comments: Compared to GSC, Blue is much nicer to the player character (though still has some arrogance in him) and the relationship the two have is interesting. Lyra certainly has to earn his respect but when she does, Blue is much warmer to her (even asking her for a picture together!). For Blue, Red was his rival, but Lyra is becoming that for him also (especially when she becomes Champion). Crack ship haha, but I do like it <3
Possible prompts: Working together to investigate something an evil organization is doing or doing research on Mega Evolution (because it'll surely come to Johto/Kanto some day)? Lyra working to break through Blue's Red complex (haha)? All the calls for training must lead to something, right? (Dates, not-dates, moments when one or both of them are oblivious until someone points it out to either or both of them?) A fortuitous event bringing them together surprisingly (a party? a get together?)? How would they get together? Do they work together to get Red down that mountain?
Kotone/Red | Lyra/Red (Pokemon Main Game)
Comments: "..." and "...!" are all we hear from Red after Lyra travels the whole of Kanto and goes up a mountain with powerful Pokemon to find him, and what comes after Lyra beats Red is a bed of infinite possibilities (a Champion and the former Champion who disappeared). Crack ship, I know. ^^;
Possible prompts: Lyra wants to get Red down Mt. Silver, but how will she do it? (Lure him down with Mega Stones? Trickery? Telling him he has to come down if she beats him a hundred times? XP) Going on a trip to another region together where they can both be anonymous? Dealing with Team Rocket together when they try to take over Kanto again? How does Red feel, seeing the girl who is now Champion wanting to get to know him better? How does Lyra feel, finally meeting the man everyone mentions to her? What would Red's first words be to her?
Pocket Monsters Special | Pokemon Adventures
Disclosure: Have read up to the latest manga released by Shogakukan Asia (currently in the Black and White saga).
General prompts (may not be as applicable to Falkner/Janine): Many possibilities for AUs in this universe: modern/placing them in another era in time (e.g. medieval/Bakamatsu era/Renaissance, etc), fusion AUs. Traveling to another region together and possibly getting mixed up in trouble there (as usual) for the Dex Holders. First kisses/first times/first anythings!
Notes: Feel free to include other characters as needed (gym leaders/Elite Four/Pokedex Holders/etc), even if in canon they haven't met yet (e.g. Dia/Platinum/Pearl running into Gold or any of the older Dex Holders).
Anzu/Hayato | Falkner/Janine
Comments: Just one moment in the manga and what a charged moment it was. Somehow their different lots in life (Janine trained to be a ninja, while Falkner is in the police force) yet their common bond of chasing after someone as well as being newly minted Gym Leaders...
Possible prompts: Does Falkner really end up helping Janine find her father? Cop/Reluctant Thief AUs! Do they see each other after the G/S/C arc and what do they do together? If Janine ends up falling into being involved in an evil organization, does Falkner find out and try to stop her? (Or does she try to hide it from him?) Is there a repeat of the match that Janine forfeited, and who would win this time?
Crystal/Gold
Comments: He has a nickname for her! Their interactions are some of the funniest parts of the G/S/C saga :) And he did try to compliment her at the end of the HGSS saga but she wouldn't let him! They balance each other out pretty well, with Crystal's planning and seriousness to Gold's rash and impulsive actions which together work out for the best.
Possible prompts: How would Crystal and Gold get together (and would any of the other Dex Holders interfere or cheer them on)? Modern AUs with them in high school or college or as adults? (What kind of work would Gold do in modern times, and how would he meet Crystal with such a line of work?) What kind of adventures do they get up to next? (Maybe investigating an evil organization/chasing a new Pokemon/checking on something for Professor Oak/going to a different region?) What kind of first date would they go on (and how many ways can it go wrong)? Will Gold have a pickup line that will actually work on Crystal? XP
Crystal/Silver
Comments: For all that they have less interactions, they implicitly trust each other by the end of G/S/C saga and during the HGSS saga <3 They work well together :)
Possible prompts: Being adorably awkward when being teased about each other (maybe by Blue? Or Gold? Or both?)? Going on a date? (And what kind of date will this be?) Silver trying to explain the appeal of Proteam Omega to Crystal, who is amused by how excited Silver is about it? Going on an adventure together (maybe investigating Team Rocket activity)? Bailing Gold out of trouble together? How would they get together (and will Silver be given 'tips' by Blue or Green or Gold)?
Crystal/Gold/Silver
Comments: Many OT3 moments - it's clear that Silver and Crystal can best control Gold working together and Gold helps Silver and Crystal become less serious (and have more fun). The trust that exists between the three of them is admirable and has come a long way from their first meeting (on the boat Crystal passed out in) in HGSS saga with their being able to communicate with little to no words.
Possible prompts: Finding a new adventure together~ What will these three get involved in next? Maybe going to a new region together? How would these three end up confessing their feelings to each other (and would it take a crisis in the Pokemon world to do so)? Maybe Gold and Crystal accompany Silver to the Proteam Omega movie premiere or something? Who actually brings up the possibility of an OT3 and what are everyone's reactions to it? (All signs point to Gold or Blue being the one bringing up the possibility. XP)
Platinum Berlitz/Diamond
Comments: Pretty much implied that Diamond had a crush on Platinum when he first saw her. While Dia and Platinum are more polite with each other than Platinum with Pearl, it is clear that they grow more comfortable with each other during the course of the series (and it is also clear how much Platinum trusts Diamond). She thinks of him enough to give him a Mamoswine since it reminded her of him!
Possible prompts: Commoner + Princess AUs! How would their first date go? (Would Pearl help him plan it, or would he wing it in his own Diamond way? And would Proteam Omega be involved in any way? XP) On Valentines' Day, Platinum attempts to give Diamond chocolate (and consults numerous books on it)... but kitchen accidents occur? Showing Platinum how much Mamoswine and he gets along? Dia cooking for Platinum?
Platinum Berlitz/Pearl
Comments: A prickly relationship at the start but respect and understanding after a lot of experiences together. Pearl is one of the reasons Platinum has become a formidable battler - enough to draw the interest of his father Palmer (who might ship them, haha). And when Pearl finds out that Platinum has improved so much to get badges while away from both of them, he is as proud as punch :)
Possible prompts: How would they get together? What kind of first date would Pearl and Platinum have? How would the blunt and brash Pearl confess to Platinum (who can be oblivious at times)? Working on a different Gym Challenge in another region together (with intense training)? Does Pearl watch Platinum's match with his father (and what are his thoughts while he watches)?
Notes: For this pairing, please handle Diamond's crush on Platinum sensitively.
Platinum Berlitz/Diamond/Pearl
Comments: They're raising a Manaphy and Phione together! Canon! (^^;) But it's clear that the three are at their best when they're together and they all feel that way (see: moment they separated in the DP arc; moment they reunited in the Platinum arc).
Possible prompts: What circumstances could make an OT3 legal in the Pokemon world (particularly since Platinum is of noble birth)? Raising more Pokemon together! What kind of adventures do these three get up to next together? How would they confess their feelings to each other (and release the unresolved tension between them ^^;)? Maybe they go to another region together (and Platinum challenges more gyms while Dia and Pearl support her)? Training together for something? Diamond and Pearl winning a manzai contest and making Platinum happy? Being adorably awkward when people tease them about each other? AUs of any kind where they still somehow find each other, no matter what the setting? (e.g. Patroness-Artists AU? Do comedians have patrons?)
Again, thank you for writing for me and I'm sure I'll love whatever you will write for me :) If you have any questions, feel free to leave an anonymous comment on this post or ask through the mods :)
Love,
fluffybun (on AO3, LJ, FFnet and DW)
Hello! I'm really happy that we've matched on any of my fandoms + ships, because I would love to see more fanworks for any of them :)
I apologize for the length of this letter - feel free to skip whatever doesn't interest you! My prompts are a mix of phrases and possible plots - feel free to ignore/mix/choose what appeals to you in any combination (or just one) or ignore all if you have your own idea :)
General Likes: I love humor, gen, romance, exploring sides of a character that haven't been dwelled on before, and slice-of-life things :) I have a weakness for a lot of tropes including against all odds, all the firsts (of a relationship or a friendship), arranged marriages that work out, coming of age, competence, drunken confessions, earn your happy endings, embracing imperfections, finding home, happy endings, holiday fics, love letters, maybe ever afters, pretend couples become real, secret identities, strong friendships, unexpected love, unrequited pining that is eventually requited, and UST that eventually gets resolved. I do like most AUs (ex. Victorian, modern, crossover/fusion AUs (with any of the fandoms listed below, any fandom I've written for, or can ask the mods if you want ^^), detective AUs, different era AUs, fairytale AUs, mafia AU, medical AUs) :) I also like canon divergent AUs :) I love using different methods to tell a story (letters, emails, diaries, what have you). I also love missing scenes, pre-canon, and post-canon stories :) I also like '5 Things' Stories :)
Examples of H/C tropes I love: accepting injury to protect someone else, amnesia, atonement, illnesses, comfort food/item, cuddling, disappearing, falls from grace, forced to face fear, hospital stays, hugs, learning to be loved, mistaken identity, being on the run, sacrifices, scars, taking care of someone, trapped together, trust issues
General Dislikes: explicit underage sex (please age up any underage character), bad medicine/science (unless related to canon or plot point), rape/non-con unless needed for plot (and please not explicit), incest, scat, graphic violence, bodily fluid play, genderswap AU, A/B/O, bestiality, sex worker AUs/characters getting STDs, character death (of my requested characters) nor mpreg please.
I would love to receive anything for any of my requested fandoms and ships - there are more prompts for some of them because 1) I've requested more ships for those fandoms and racked my brain for fic prompts for all of them and 2) I had more ideas for some of them. :) My fandoms are ordered alphabetically and not in any order of preference :) I try to keep up with the latest developments in the ongoing canons I've requested (as they appear in English), so feel free to incorporate any of them as you wish (applies to Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Pokemon Special, and Hakuouki).
Anne of Green Gables - L. M. Montgomery
Walter Blythe/Una Meredith
Disclosure: Have read all of the Anne of Green Gables books.
Comments: So much love for these two characters and I wanted so much for them to have a happy ending together. (Alas, it was not meant to be.) That moment at the train when everyone sees Walter off and when Rilla gives Una Walter's letter - my heart, it breaks all the times I've read those moments in Rilla of Ingleside. I feel they could have been so good for each other...
Possible prompts: AU where Walter doesn't die (maybe he was just missing, captured like Jem, or there was a mistake somewhere and he was just gravely injured) and she is able to meet him again! What does Walter say to Una in his letters to her during the war? (And what does she say to him? We know she never confesses to him, but what if she did?) Little moments in Rainbow Valley between them, childhood moments growing up, or chance encounters pre-War. What if Una had told him of her feelings before he left/during the war? Would anything have changed? In a different time, how would these two meet, and would they have a chance to get together? (AU/Reincarnation fic!)
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Disclosure: Have watched the anime and have read the manga up to chapter 63 and planning to read the available translations for the later chapters.
Hori Masayuki/Sakura Chiyo
Comments: I really like how these two balance each other (and how sometimes they are the only sane people in their group). They've helped Nozaki out together multiple times with his deficiencies in drawing manga (from backgrounds to keeping track of where people sit at a party) and they seem to be on the same wavelength more often than not (except for Hori's violent tendencies towards Kashima, haha). And writing on the manga drafts! <33 And Hori and Sakura's conversation about briefs! So many cute moments in between.
Possible prompts: Maybe Sakura helps out more with the Drama Club backgrounds (and controlling Kashima from messing things up) and things progress from there? Or something while helping Nozaki with his manga? (Maybe Sakura takes lessons on learning how to draw backgrounds from Hori to help him ostentatiously to help Nozaki at first but eventually to help Hori-senpai? Or helping him gather stock pictures for reference and going on trips together?) Maybe something post-high school - they end up in the same classes and grow closer there? Maybe Hori actually gets his growth spurt and becomes a leading man and wows everyone including Sakura? Hori helping her deal with her feelings for Nozaki (who remains clueless) and they grow together? How would they get together?
Mikoshiba Mikoto/Sakura Chiyo
Comments: I really like this couple since Sakura is so capable of taking care of Mikorin and Mikorin shows her his true self (which he doesn't show to many, many other girls that he throws his charm at) and how they understand each other's weaknesses (hers: Nozaki; him: numerous things, but mostly his own tendencies ^^).
Possible prompts: Maybe something about Sakura moving on from her crush on Nozaki and Mikorin being less dense/more dense than Nozaki? (Or Mikorin being a second-guesser because he's Mikorin and not understanding that Sakura has moved on?) Maybe Mikorin starts trying his lines exclusively on Sakura and she thinks it's just practice so that he doesn't have such self-regret after saying them to other girls? Awkward first dates/kisses or not-dates that everyone else thinks they are? Maybe they play a galge together and Mikorin is shocked by Sakura's advice going against what he knows? (And Sakura being confused at how the girls in the galges react at times?) Future fic - when they're in university (and possibly still taking time to help Nozaki)? How would these two get together, basically? How would their first date go? (And will Mikorin use galge tactics?)
Nozaki Umetarou/Sakura Chiyo
Comments: Nozaki's obliviousness and Sakura's Nozaki vision <3 Only Nozaki could pull out so many lines like 'would you like to come over' and it all becomes manga related in the end :) But at the festival - Nozaki's move with the apple! <3 As Sakura gets to know Nozaki more she finds more things to love about him (although it doesn't stop her from trying to guide him when he's going down the totally wrong path of his assumptions).
Possible prompts: Maybe anything about Nozaki being less dense! Maybe he then starts pulling moves he's drawn for his manga (and Sakura misunderstanding)? How would Nozaki act when he's in love? If Nozaki's manga starts getting more romantic, could anything have happened between the two? Will Nozaki ever remember how they first met (and Sakura's unintended inspiring of Mamiko's hairstyle)? Does Sakura ever wear the sailor uniform for Nozaki? (Or anything he asks her to 'for research'?) How would these two get together? (And will it involve manga?) Does Nozaki ever remember what really happened on the first day of school (and how they met) and what would happen if he did? What kind of dates do they go on?
Sakura Chiyo/Seo Yuzuki
Comments: A very improbable relationship especially with the first impression of Seo, but these two have a wonderful friendship (for all the misunderstandings that go on in this entire canon regarding everyone else). I love how they support each other in their own ways and they have so many cute moments in the anime/manga (e.g. Seo teaching Sakura how to get corn kernels out of a can as she tells Nozaki and Miyako, how Seo shows Sakura Waka's 'challenge' letter and the aftermath of that, how Sakura clearly enjoys Seo's singing, Sakura asking Seo what Hori's drawing looks like and Seo's deadpan answer and of course, the umbrella scene <33 I may have missed some other moments). These two just work and accept each other so well <3
Possible prompts: As these two have one of the more surprisingly normal friendships in the series, I'd love to see how that could progress to more. (And everyone's reactions to it!) It's sweet that Sakura supports Seo in her singing and visits her at club time (and even records her songs), maybe something from these moments? Or Seo advises Sakura (in her own Seo way) on how to get Nozaki (and things happen from there, maybe Sakura realizing who was there all along to support her in her own Seo-ish way)? Girls' night out progressing to more? I'd be happy with romance during or post-high school (and possible failed relationships along the way) for these two, since it'd be a big step for them that may need multiple pushes for them to realize their feelings for each other, as long as there's a happy ending for them :) Maybe Sakura becomes Seo's agent if she decides to go pro in singing?
Hakuouki
Disclosure: I have played the original game (and the iOS exclusive story) and watched the anime (Hakuouki and Reimeiroku)/OAVs/movies. I have not played the action game for PSP. I have also not played SSL nor Reimeiroku but am aware of the major plot points of both (as well as Zuisoroku). Feel free to use any canon/meld them in any way.
General prompts for this series (feel free to use instead of the more specific prompts or mix them as needed if you want): Modern AU (can be SSL verse or not), what if the Shinsengumi won the war AU (and what would change), what if Chizuru got involved with the Shinsengumi another way (e.g. the Shinsengumi came to Edo to find Kodo and find her instead, or she is 'rescued' from the Choshu side by the Shinsengumi without knowing that her father has gone over to that side), mafia AUs. Missing moments in the series (ex. before Ikeda Inn, before Toba-Fushimi, in Aizu, during epilogue). Reincarnation fic (where they can be aware of it or not, or only some of them are)! AUs where Chizuru is made aware of her demon heritage much, much earlier (and maybe told by Kodo) because of undetermined reasons? Crossovers very welcome (feel free to ask through the mods or see if I've written in the fandom you want to cross it over with).
Amagiri Kyuuju/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: Particularly in Saitou's route, one can see that Amagiri would rather Chizuru die than be maltreated by Kazama (as the big bad of the route). This caring for her well-being/sanity struck me as rather sweet (and is the birth of my belief in this crack ship). In all routes Amagiri clearly respects Chizuru and Chizuru finds Amagiri polite and honorable to a fault, compared to his other companions.
Possible prompts: "Amagiri decides that the best person to protect Yukimura Chizuru from Kazama/humans is him and acts accordingly." How would an Amagiri route go? (Would it go something like Kazama's route, or be different?) Bodyguard AUs where he is tasked to protect her from suitors as his duty? AUs where Chizuru is left not with Kodo but with Amagiri's clan instead, or she is tasked to find her demon heritage instead when Kodo doesn't return (or encounters Amagiri's side of the war first)?
Harada Sanosuke/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: Clearly one of the happiest routes in the game (since Sano doesn't turn rasetsu). I like that Sano clearly cherishes Chizuru and is obvious about it (compared to the other routes where things get romantic pretty much at the end of the routes alone). It is clear that even in the other routes that Sano does care for Chizuru (especially seen in the common route and when he leaves with Nagakura and says goodbye to her), and exemplified in the anime/movies in numerous scenes.
Possible prompts: Missing moments post-first kiss (and will others take note of their budding relationship)? How does Sano remind Chizuru that she is a woman even as she pretends to be a man (!!!)? How would these two meet and fall in love in a different time? Sano is the only route where there really is no direct Kazama confrontation - post-war, does Sano have a confrontation with Kazama to protect Chizuru and how would that end well? (Would Shiranui step in?) While I really like that Sano never takes the Water of Life in his route, what circumstance would make him take it (in a canon divergent AU), possibly to protect him and Chizuru and how would they deal with his becoming a rasetsu? Life in Manchuria in the epilogue? Sano teaching Chizuru how to fight?
Okita Souji/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: One of the most heart-wrenching routes for me in the game because of Okita's illness/reason for drinking the Water of Life (and the bad ending!!!) - one sees how his feelings for Chizuru change from mild interest/suspicion to love and how Chizuru's feelings grow with every death threat/teasing/flirting Okita does <3
Possible prompts: Okita teasing Chizuru over something of your choice (her feelings for him, sudden outbursts of caring for him, how she looks when dressed up, etc.). Reincarnation fic where they finally have a longer lifetime together (in a time where either Okita doesn't get TB or treatment is much, much better with detection) and how they find each other (whether they remember each other or not, or only one of them does)?
Saitou Hajime/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: These two are so sweet and adorably awkward together <3 Their devotion is so wonderful and Saitou's moments post-blood drinking melted my heart as much as Chizuru's. More in the extras - Saitou being awkward around Chizuru (when he sees her in geisha garb and when he's drunk) is so cute and the scene with Chizuru giving Saitou a snow rabbit <333
Possible prompts: Being awkward together for reasons of your choice (maybe they have to go in disguise together somewhere/pretend to be a couple)? Learning to live with each other post-game (and all the awkward moments)? Missing moments in Aizu/Edo/Kyoto? How would Saitou handle/take care of a pregnant Chizuru? How does Chizuru deal with the workaholic Saitou in Aizu/in exile/Edo/Kyoto? Being teased by other Shinsengumi members about their feelings? Finding each other after the war (if Chizuru was forced to go with Hijikata in the Saitou route and he didn't die)? In a different time, how would these two find each other?
Okita Souji/Yukimura Chizuru/Saitou Hajime
Comments/Prompts: There were certain moments in the series with the three of them together that I loved so much (usually Okita teasing Chizuru with Saitou defending her or calling Okita out on his trolling) and I'd love to see more of that <3 (Chizuru and Saitou being polite and shy and awkward and Okita trolling the hell out of them for something, maybe? Maybe Chizuru and Saitou try to turn the tables on Okita - if they can?) In the games/anime, there is no time when both of them are furies (only in the movies) - how would they deal with it if both (or all three of them) are furies? Living together post-war in the north? How would any of their relationship milestones go (first times, first days living together, etc)?
Senhime/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: I love how much the two care for each other in the various routes (especially seen in the Okita, Hijikata, and Heisuke routes) - Sen clearly wants to keep Chizuru safe, even when they haven't interacted much, to the point of endangering herself to do so (especially in the Heisuke route!!!). In the Heisuke route especially, it is clear that Senhime definitely treasures Chizuru as a close friend at least, to the point of offering herself instead to Kazama and Chizuru being an important part of her coming to her senses in the climax of the route. Chizuru, on her part, especially treasures Sen in the Heisuke route to the point of placing herself in danger to save her.
Possible prompts: How would a Sen route go in Hakuouki? (Maybe Sen would help Chizuru in taking her place in the demon world as the last of the Yukimuras? Take care of her after the war, particularly in the forever alone route?) What if Sen had found Chizuru first before she ran into the Shinsengumi or right after she had just met them? What if Chizuru had taken Sen up on her offer to leave with them? Maybe Sen visits Chizuru post-game (as promised in the Heisuke route) and takes her back to Yase? In an AU setting, how would these two meet and have a friendship/romance? In Sen giving love advice to Chizuru, will Chizuru realize who's been there all along and her greatest supporter?
Sannan Keisuke/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: In all the routes, it is clear that Chizuru is very aware of Sannan and he of her. Chizuru's worry for Sannan never really ends, even in the routes when he is more dangerous to her (Harada's/Heisuke's). Sannan's feelings for Chizuru (other than wanting her blood) are less clear, admittedly, and are seen more in the extras (like his giving her a hairpin in Heisuke's DLC, her preparing riceballs for him to easily eat post-injury in the manga).
Possible prompts: All the dirty bad possibilities of this relationship ^^; Sannan finally getting Chizuru's blood (and will he go crazy over it or actually become saner) or Chizuru giving her blood willingly to Sannan for reasons (her feelings, being confused, etc)? (and will this lead to a Heisuke ending Sannan or a Hijikata end Sannan?) Is there another confrontation with Kazama over Chizuru? Can Sannan survive the war to live the rest of his life with Chizuru, and how? (Probably bittersweet like all rasetsu endings, but I'd still love to read it!) What could have changed if Sannan had taken Chizuru as his page (instead of her being assigned to Hijikata) - would Chizuru be less afraid of Sannan when he desires her blood or possibly more afraid?
Yamazaki Susumu/Yukimura Chizuru
Comments: It is clear that Yamazaki's relationship with Chizuru changes over the course of the game from suspicion (Ikeda) to trust (particularly in Okita's route). In the extras, we do see Yamazaki, among other things, pretend to be a ninja and protect her from drunk Choshu samurai ^^; His concern for her is best seen in Okita's route where he tells Okita to tell her to rest, how he insists he will accompany her to her house in Edo because he was tasked to protect her and Okita, and their final goodbye (*bawls*).
Possible prompts: Anything about these two together would be wonderful, all the missing scenes possibilities <3 (And feel free to edit Yamazaki's fate.) Helping to treat the Shinsengumi together? Attempting to spy on enemies again together (hopefully a better attempt than infiltrating Shimabara and pretending to be a lady and ninja)? Is there a possibility of Yamazaki drinking the Water of Life and would he do it for Chizuru? (And what would be the aftermath of that?) How would a Yamazaki route go? Bodyguard AUs/Lady and Ninja AUs?
Liar Game
Disclosure: Have read the entire manga. Not too familiar with the Jdrama/Kdrama.
Akiyama Shinichi/Kanzaki Nao
Comments: The trust these two have in each other is amazing and probably sold me on that ship (especially with the line 'I'm Kanzaki Nao's property'). :) For all that Akiyama is a jaded ex-con he certainly ends up wanting to believe in Nao's dreams and doing his best to help her achieve them (even when hope is nearly lost).
Possible prompts: How would these two get together? Akiyama and Nao visiting his mother's grave, or Akiyama and Nao meeting Nao's father? Domestic life after? Just getting together post series, maybe spending the holidays together! Akiyama helping Nao with college assignments or whatever trouble she gets into? Telling the others they've met in the Liar Game about their relationship?
Pocket Monsters (Main Video Game Series)
Disclosure: Have played all the main games. Feel free to include other characters/Pokemon as needed or incorporate concepts of later games in earlier ones (e.g. Mega Evolution, Triple Battles, etc.).
Calme/Haruka | Calem/May (Pokemon Main Game)
Comments: No chance of real evidence, but I find the possibility of two young champions of different regions very intriguing. Other permutations are also intriguing: one of them being the rival character and one being the champion, or both being the rival characters.
Possible prompts: Anything goes here, dynamics depending on whether they are both Champions or both the rival characters or one is a champion and the other is a rival character. Researching Mega Evolution together (with or without involvement of other people). How and why would they meet (Champions Tournament? Researching on Mega Stones and challenging each other for a Mega Stone? Randomly running into each other in Lumiose City and Calem telling May that if she runs out of money she can battle the driver instead of paying? XP)? Does one of them blow the other out of the water in a Pokemon Battle in another region/one of their home regions and the other wonders who they are?
Calme/Serena | Calem/Serena (Pokemon Main Game)
Comments: I love how their relationship changes and deepens in the span of the whole game - how their relationship changes from cut-and-dried rivalry to wanting to understand each other and his/her Pokemon better and to want to improve for himself/herself alone. Feel free to decide who is the Champion and who is the Rival. :)
Possible prompts: How would these two get together? (And would it necessitate interfering friends/family/Pokemon/Professor Sycamore/enemies/Mega Evolution?) Travelling together to another region? Does the rival ever seriously challenge the Champion (after going through the Elite Four)? Working together to stop another evil organization? Spending the holidays together? Bachelor/Bachelorette TV shows where the Rival sweeps the competition through battling? XP
Haruka/Tsuwabuki Daigo | May/Steven Stone (Pokemon Main Game)
Comments: I don't mind if you use the dynamics of R/S/E or ORAS in writing this couple :) What I like about this pairing is how Steven Stone respects May (as the player character) because she proves herself worthy of respect, despite her being new to Pokemon training.
Possible prompts: How would these two get together (and when)? An exploration of their feelings during/post-game? Finding each other again after Steven leaves to travel the world (or maybe he comes back)? Letter writing/PokeNav messages while they're apart? He ginally comes back to Hoenn and confronts his feelings for her that won't disappear? May goes on a quest to find Steven and challenges him? Why does Steven leave May a Beldum and what events occur because of it? First dates, last dates (as single people), not-dates that look like dates to everyone else? (Would other people try to matchmake them?)
Notes: For this couple particularly, I'd prefer it if you age May up (to at least sixteen-eighteen) during her journey through Hoenn. ^^
Kotone/Ohkido Green | Lyra/Blue Oak (Pokemon Main Game)
Comments: Compared to GSC, Blue is much nicer to the player character (though still has some arrogance in him) and the relationship the two have is interesting. Lyra certainly has to earn his respect but when she does, Blue is much warmer to her (even asking her for a picture together!). For Blue, Red was his rival, but Lyra is becoming that for him also (especially when she becomes Champion). Crack ship haha, but I do like it <3
Possible prompts: Working together to investigate something an evil organization is doing or doing research on Mega Evolution (because it'll surely come to Johto/Kanto some day)? Lyra working to break through Blue's Red complex (haha)? All the calls for training must lead to something, right? (Dates, not-dates, moments when one or both of them are oblivious until someone points it out to either or both of them?) A fortuitous event bringing them together surprisingly (a party? a get together?)? How would they get together? Do they work together to get Red down that mountain?
Kotone/Red | Lyra/Red (Pokemon Main Game)
Comments: "..." and "...!" are all we hear from Red after Lyra travels the whole of Kanto and goes up a mountain with powerful Pokemon to find him, and what comes after Lyra beats Red is a bed of infinite possibilities (a Champion and the former Champion who disappeared). Crack ship, I know. ^^;
Possible prompts: Lyra wants to get Red down Mt. Silver, but how will she do it? (Lure him down with Mega Stones? Trickery? Telling him he has to come down if she beats him a hundred times? XP) Going on a trip to another region together where they can both be anonymous? Dealing with Team Rocket together when they try to take over Kanto again? How does Red feel, seeing the girl who is now Champion wanting to get to know him better? How does Lyra feel, finally meeting the man everyone mentions to her? What would Red's first words be to her?
Pocket Monsters Special | Pokemon Adventures
Disclosure: Have read up to the latest manga released by Shogakukan Asia (currently in the Black and White saga).
General prompts (may not be as applicable to Falkner/Janine): Many possibilities for AUs in this universe: modern/placing them in another era in time (e.g. medieval/Bakamatsu era/Renaissance, etc), fusion AUs. Traveling to another region together and possibly getting mixed up in trouble there (as usual) for the Dex Holders. First kisses/first times/first anythings!
Notes: Feel free to include other characters as needed (gym leaders/Elite Four/Pokedex Holders/etc), even if in canon they haven't met yet (e.g. Dia/Platinum/Pearl running into Gold or any of the older Dex Holders).
Anzu/Hayato | Falkner/Janine
Comments: Just one moment in the manga and what a charged moment it was. Somehow their different lots in life (Janine trained to be a ninja, while Falkner is in the police force) yet their common bond of chasing after someone as well as being newly minted Gym Leaders...
Possible prompts: Does Falkner really end up helping Janine find her father? Cop/Reluctant Thief AUs! Do they see each other after the G/S/C arc and what do they do together? If Janine ends up falling into being involved in an evil organization, does Falkner find out and try to stop her? (Or does she try to hide it from him?) Is there a repeat of the match that Janine forfeited, and who would win this time?
Crystal/Gold
Comments: He has a nickname for her! Their interactions are some of the funniest parts of the G/S/C saga :) And he did try to compliment her at the end of the HGSS saga but she wouldn't let him! They balance each other out pretty well, with Crystal's planning and seriousness to Gold's rash and impulsive actions which together work out for the best.
Possible prompts: How would Crystal and Gold get together (and would any of the other Dex Holders interfere or cheer them on)? Modern AUs with them in high school or college or as adults? (What kind of work would Gold do in modern times, and how would he meet Crystal with such a line of work?) What kind of adventures do they get up to next? (Maybe investigating an evil organization/chasing a new Pokemon/checking on something for Professor Oak/going to a different region?) What kind of first date would they go on (and how many ways can it go wrong)? Will Gold have a pickup line that will actually work on Crystal? XP
Crystal/Silver
Comments: For all that they have less interactions, they implicitly trust each other by the end of G/S/C saga and during the HGSS saga <3 They work well together :)
Possible prompts: Being adorably awkward when being teased about each other (maybe by Blue? Or Gold? Or both?)? Going on a date? (And what kind of date will this be?) Silver trying to explain the appeal of Proteam Omega to Crystal, who is amused by how excited Silver is about it? Going on an adventure together (maybe investigating Team Rocket activity)? Bailing Gold out of trouble together? How would they get together (and will Silver be given 'tips' by Blue or Green or Gold)?
Crystal/Gold/Silver
Comments: Many OT3 moments - it's clear that Silver and Crystal can best control Gold working together and Gold helps Silver and Crystal become less serious (and have more fun). The trust that exists between the three of them is admirable and has come a long way from their first meeting (on the boat Crystal passed out in) in HGSS saga with their being able to communicate with little to no words.
Possible prompts: Finding a new adventure together~ What will these three get involved in next? Maybe going to a new region together? How would these three end up confessing their feelings to each other (and would it take a crisis in the Pokemon world to do so)? Maybe Gold and Crystal accompany Silver to the Proteam Omega movie premiere or something? Who actually brings up the possibility of an OT3 and what are everyone's reactions to it? (All signs point to Gold or Blue being the one bringing up the possibility. XP)
Platinum Berlitz/Diamond
Comments: Pretty much implied that Diamond had a crush on Platinum when he first saw her. While Dia and Platinum are more polite with each other than Platinum with Pearl, it is clear that they grow more comfortable with each other during the course of the series (and it is also clear how much Platinum trusts Diamond). She thinks of him enough to give him a Mamoswine since it reminded her of him!
Possible prompts: Commoner + Princess AUs! How would their first date go? (Would Pearl help him plan it, or would he wing it in his own Diamond way? And would Proteam Omega be involved in any way? XP) On Valentines' Day, Platinum attempts to give Diamond chocolate (and consults numerous books on it)... but kitchen accidents occur? Showing Platinum how much Mamoswine and he gets along? Dia cooking for Platinum?
Platinum Berlitz/Pearl
Comments: A prickly relationship at the start but respect and understanding after a lot of experiences together. Pearl is one of the reasons Platinum has become a formidable battler - enough to draw the interest of his father Palmer (who might ship them, haha). And when Pearl finds out that Platinum has improved so much to get badges while away from both of them, he is as proud as punch :)
Possible prompts: How would they get together? What kind of first date would Pearl and Platinum have? How would the blunt and brash Pearl confess to Platinum (who can be oblivious at times)? Working on a different Gym Challenge in another region together (with intense training)? Does Pearl watch Platinum's match with his father (and what are his thoughts while he watches)?
Notes: For this pairing, please handle Diamond's crush on Platinum sensitively.
Platinum Berlitz/Diamond/Pearl
Comments: They're raising a Manaphy and Phione together! Canon! (^^;) But it's clear that the three are at their best when they're together and they all feel that way (see: moment they separated in the DP arc; moment they reunited in the Platinum arc).
Possible prompts: What circumstances could make an OT3 legal in the Pokemon world (particularly since Platinum is of noble birth)? Raising more Pokemon together! What kind of adventures do these three get up to next together? How would they confess their feelings to each other (and release the unresolved tension between them ^^;)? Maybe they go to another region together (and Platinum challenges more gyms while Dia and Pearl support her)? Training together for something? Diamond and Pearl winning a manzai contest and making Platinum happy? Being adorably awkward when people tease them about each other? AUs of any kind where they still somehow find each other, no matter what the setting? (e.g. Patroness-Artists AU? Do comedians have patrons?)
Again, thank you for writing for me and I'm sure I'll love whatever you will write for me :) If you have any questions, feel free to leave an anonymous comment on this post or ask through the mods :)
Love,
fluffybun (on AO3, LJ, FFnet and DW)
