fluffybunDear Yuletide Writer,
General Dislikes:
I would love to receive anything for any of my requested fandoms and characters - there are just more prompts for some of them because I had more ideas for some of them. :) My fandoms are ordered alphabetically and not in any order of preference :) I've consumed all my requested fandoms (everything available in English) so feel free to use any detail from each! (More specific details noted per fandom.)
Spoilers ahead for all canons!
ダウト～セレブは華麗に嘘をつく～ | Doubt ~Serebu wa Karei ni Usowotsuku~ | Liar! Scheming Socialites (Visual Novel)
Main Character, Todo Kaname
Notes: I have played through all three seasons and love epilogues and played all events released in English. I don't have any preference for the name for the main character (I would prefer any name of your choice instead of Y/N).
Canon:
Liar! Scheming Socialites is the second spin-off/sequel of Liar! Uncover the Truth and like its predecessors, it is a a visual novel that revolves around the Main Character exposing lies of her co-workers (not potential lovers like the first game alone, though many do express romantic interest in her). The Main Character, after breaking up with her boyfriend/fiance, now has to find a new fiance and also eliminate all the liars around her (both friends and possible lovers) while deciding what she wants to do after finishing college.
Comments:
I was really curious about Kaname and MC's relationship before and during the game (their being in the karuta club together and working hard all those years) and when he developed feelings for her. The moments in 5th Liar where she took note of Kaname even after the betrayal... I wish he had a love route...
Prompts:
Karuta club days? What if Kaname had been more obvious during the early parts of the game about his attraction to the main character? What if MC had handled Kaname's deception in a different way? What if post-4th Liar, they still found a way to be with each other? Maybe during the Karuta finals or after that? (How did Kaname improve after his slump midway during the tournament? What if MC had gone to talk to him before the tournament ended or right after it?) What if Kaname had been MC's parents' selected omiai partner at the start? An expansion of the Love ending? What if Kaname had handled finding MC in the underground party hallways differently? (Maybe bringing her somewhere else, maybe actually giving himself away in some way for her to realize who he was immediately...)
Magical Otoge Ciel (Visual Novel)
Hello! I'm really happy that we've matched on any of my fandoms + characters, because I would love to see more fanworks for any of them :) I love Yuletide and am really happy I get to participate this year!
First of all, 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 ideas :) Feel free also to check out my previous letters for other exchanges on DW and LJ and use prompts from there :) Of course if you have your own ideas, feel free to use them as well!
General Likes:
- humor, gen, romance, exploring sides of a character that haven't been dwelled on before, and slice-of-life things :)
- 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, soul bonding (or soulmates of any kind/type, strong friendships, unexpected love, unrequited pining that is eventually requited, and UST that eventually gets resolved.
- 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 :)
- missing scenes, pre-canon, and post-canon stories :)
- '5 Things' Stories, epistolary, different methods of telling a story (letters, emails, diaries, text messages), interactive fiction :)
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, bodily fluid play
- graphic violence (human, animal)
- genderswap AU, A/B/O, sex worker AUs/characters getting STDs, mpreg
- bestiality
- character death (of my requested characters)
- breaking up any of my preferred ships (unless otherwise mentioned in prompts)

Code:Realize ～創世の姫君～ | Code: Realize - Guardian of Rebirth (Visual Novel)
Arsène Lupin, Cardia Beckford
Note:
I've played all three games!
I've played all three games!
Canon:
Code: Realize is about Cardia (an sheltered young girl who has poison in her and thus cannot touch anything without it disintegrating) who is found by Lupin who 'steals her away'. They make a promise: for her Horologium, which he needs, he'll then help her to experience the feeling of touching someone (by finding a way to cure her poison). They also have the common goal of finding her missing father, Isaac Beckford. Cardia, has been told not to fall in love by her father 'because she is a monster' but in the course of the game falls in love (with one of the many eligible bachelors that she grows to know well).
Comments:
Lupin is officially the true route of Code: Realize (because of all the revelations and because this is the only route that really resolves Cardia's poison) and their relationship is present even in all other routes. Cardia mentions in certain routes that Lupin 'saved her' by stealing her away (and opening her mind to the world that she'd avoided because she was scared of hurting people with her poison) and Lupin, in all routes, takes happiness in doing so and watching her gain emotions and fall in love with whoever she chooses. There is a wistfulness in his voice in certain routes when he talks about her loving someone else and in one route, when he sees she's hurt because the one she loves has hurt her he tells her that if there's any danger to her he'll take her away and keep her safe. In his own route he understands her so well to know where she goes when she runs off to protect them and comes to save her when she's kidnapped as well. Along with the dramatic moments, there are a lot of silly moments between them which I also love.

Prompts:
Missing scenes during the Cardia training chapter 'A Girl's Education' or anywhere else during the game! Post-canon scenes of their life together! (Going on adventures together, Lupin teaching Cardia more things about being a great thief or things not related to thievery, etc. Cardia possibly assisting Lupin in a heist?) Seeing them years down the road. Visiting one of their friends? Cardia helping Lupin to outwit Sholmes? Writing letters to each other when separated? Training Sisi together? Adopting children together (and Cardia possibly trying to stop Lupin from making them all thieves)? Traveling the world together? Planning surprises for each other? Lupin teasing Cardia and her finding a way to tease him back? (Potentially with suggestions from friends/Sholmes?)

AUs are welcome. In what other circumstances could they have met? What if Lupin had taken Cardia away during the Saint-Germain route? Or specifically, post-Normal ends of the other routes, could something bloom between them after those? (For example, during Van's Normal end route, perhaps Lupin helps Cardia adjust to her role as a diplomat? Or with Saint-Germain's route, perhaps he finds her in her new role and stops her?) Fairytale AUs?
月刊少女野崎くん | Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
月刊少女野崎くん | Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Nozaki Umetarou, Sakura Chiyo
Notes:
I've watched the entire anime (with the extras) and am reading the manga. As stated above, I plan to keep reading the manga as chapters are made available in English, so feel free to use elements/knowledge from chapters that come out between now and Yuletide!

Canon:
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is a slice-of-life manga about a male high school student (Nozaki) who asks his classmate to help him with it after she accidentally says "I'm your fan" instead of actually confessing her like for him. Subsequent chapters revolve around Nozaki's depicting love even not having any practical experience and the ensemble cast he draws inspiration from.

Comments:
Sakura and Nozaki's relationship has grown so much from their first meeting! For all that Nozaki is oblivious to love, he is direct with the fact that Sakura is important to him. Still, his words does bring much confusion which is part of the charm of this manga. Only Nozaki could pull out so many lines like 'would you like to come over' and it all becomes manga related in the end :) 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). Their relationship of supporting each other in Nozaki's quest to give Mamiko and Suzuki love (and proper beta) is wonderful.

Their relationship of supporting each other in Nozaki's quest to give Mamiko and Suzuki love (and proper beta) is wonderful.
Prompts:
How would they finally, finally get together? (And does it involve his manga in any way? Maybe he then starts pulling moves he's drawn for his manga and Sakura doesn't understand because she thinks it's 'research'.) Will Nozaki ever remember how they first met (and Sakura's unintended inspiring of Mamiko's hairstyle) and what would happen if he did? Does Sakura ever wear the sailor uniform for Nozaki? (Or anything he asks her to 'for research'?) What kind of dates do they go on? What if they worked on another manga together? (A one-shot, maybe? Another series running concurrently?) What if someone else finally told Nozaki about Sakura's feelings? (Or an offshoot - a deeper thinking of his relationship with Sakura and what this could lead to?) What if Nozaki decides to help Sakura with a project she has as repayment? (For example, maybe Sakura writes a novel and he gives insight?) Playing an otome game or galge together? Christmas not-date dates? School festival/athletics day/other school event shenanigans? A successful love confession for Sakura (or all the hilarious ways she could fail)? More investigations of common shoujo manga scenarios that aren't feasible in real life? More meetings with their siblings?

AUs are welcome - in any other circumstances, how would these two have met (and hopefully fall for each other)? What if Nozaki had been the first one to approach Sakura instead of what happened in canon because of her skills in art? Fairytale AUs?

Magical Otoge Ciel (Visual Novel)
Anton, Ciel
Canon:
Magical Otoge Ciel is a free visual novel on itch.io/Steam about Ciel, a princess who wants to go out and see the world. Defying the wishes of her father, she and her two knight childhood friends, Florien and Anton go and see what's beyond her kingdom and finds out more about herself along the way.
Comments:
Oh, I love these two together! How Ciel teases Anton and he either goes along with it and is very straightforward or just refuses flat out (the 'flirt' incident) and how devoted he is to her! Anton's selflessness of choosing to protect Ciel by erasing her memories of the year he was her knight because of how pained she was from always remembering how he got hurt protecting her... My heart. I adore how Ciel seems to be the more forward of them yet Anton decides to confess first anyway!
Prompts:
Missing scenes from the year that Anton was Ciel's knight? (Pre-feelings or with mutual starting of feelings?) Their first kiss (whether at the wedding or not)? Anton actually does try to flirt for some reason or another (perhaps to protect them while adventuring)? Their first holiday as a couple (Christmas, birthday, Valentine's Day)? A proposal? (Would Ciel or Anton propose?) What would life be like for them post-game as a princess and the Captain of the Royal Knights? An adventure where Ciel gets to fight at Anton's side? (Maybe with some training beforehand?) Maybe after watching Ciel and Anton being so dense/shy together, Yvin/Ais/Florien take it upon themselves to give the two advice (and one or both of them take it)? A wedding/engagement/adventure of the two with Ven's involvement?
ポケモンマスターズ | Pokemon Masters
Yui | Bettie, Lyer | Lear
Notes: I have played all of the Main Story available up to now and all sync pair stories.
Canon:
PoMa is a gatcha game available on both iOS and Google Play about many prominent Pokemon trainers and you (Bettie), the main character, all being transported mysteriously to the land of Pasio, where trainers with their bonded pokemon (sync pair) team up with other sync pairs to battle other teams in a tournament to prove who is the best. However, the tournament and life in Pasio is disrupted by the activities of the villanous Team Break, who seek to steal the Pokemon of trainers and take over Pasio.
Comments:
Bettie and Lear have faced off twice in the game so far and their clash in beliefs makes me wonder at the possibility of them together (and Lear's possibly changing opinion on Bettie, not that he would tell her). A tough opponent, beating Lear is proof of Bettie's growth throughout the game. Bettie's team's progress through the tournament certainly makes Lear take notice as well, even as he is consumed with his goal of becoming King of Pasio.
Prompts:
A missing scene where Lear and Bettie have to work together? (Maybe going against Team Break? Or another yet unreleased or released villain in Pokemon?) Lear's innermost thoughts on Bettie and her getting stronger with her many partners, maybe when watching her in the semifinal chapters or otherwise? Getting stuck in a room together? With the latest developments in the main story, what if Bettie (and her team, or Bettie alone) help Lear out of his current circumstances? Valentine's Day mishaps, Christmas parties, spending the holidays together somehow (possibly unwillingly and maybe manipulated by Sawyer and Rachel and the other Pasio sync pairs)?
Steam Prison (Visual Novel)
Cyrus Tistella, Ulrik Ferrie
Notes: I have played the entire game and am making my way through the recently released Fin's route, so feel free to include elements from any route as you wish.
Canon:
Steam Prison is a visual novel available on Steam and MangaGamer about Cyrus Tistella, who is falsely accused of killing her parents. While trying to find out who killed her parents despite her classification as a criminal, she may find love along the way.
Comments:
I honestly did not expect to love Ulrik and Cyrus, but I do, they are my favorite couple in Steam Prison! The banter between them, the sweet moments, Ulrik being bashful when caught being vulnerable or doing nice things, Cyrus and he being both new to love.
Prompts:
More on Ulrik and Cyrus' life post game! What kind of life do they live? (Possibly with Eltcreed meddling!) A possible romance after the Grand Ending of Steam Prison? What if they had met in some other time, some other way? AUs are very welcome! Working together post route for Eltcreed or for other reasons? Parenthood? Reading the sequel of the book he lent her together? Playing a prank on Eltcreed together? Having a family together? Celebrating holidays together (not necessarily Christmas)? Sorting through the Ferrie collection of books together/working on something together? What if they had somehow met before or under different circumstances?
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 ask through the mods :)
Love,
