kay_obsessiveDear Candy Hearts Exchange Creator,
First of all, thank you so much for making something for me! I really love all of these fandoms and relationships I’m requesting, so I’m sure I’ll like anything you make for any of them!
My previous exchange letters can be found here, my AO3 account is here, and my tumblr is here.

Requests
Any prompts listed are just ideas and suggestions, and if you have your own super great idea for any of these fandoms and relationships you should totally go for it! I haven’t tried to separate out fic/art prompts, so feel free to interpret anything in either direction.
Also as a general note, I am okay with pretty much any way of dealing with conflicting canon relationships except for unrequested poly – breakups, handwaves, infidelity, died off-screen, completely unmentioned, all fine.
Ace Attorney
Franziska von Karma/Miles Edgeworth
I find the relationship and shared history between these two to be so fascinating. It’s such an interesting mix of familiarity and distance, caring and resentment, of knowing each other uncomfortably well and fundamentally misunderstanding each other in some pretty big ways. And I love seeing them start to bridge that gap some as they both shake off Manfred von Karma’s influence.
I’d like to see more of them continuing to move forward, both individually and with each other - hashing out their conflicts, bonding over the issues and traumas they share, and settling into a less tense relationship. And then I’d love to see their thoughts and doubts as things start to go further. Because while I don’t believe they actually straightforwardly see each other as siblings, they’re definitely not totally free of the incest vibes, and I imagine that could give them pause. Outsider POV or reactions would be a fun option here too, for the same reasons.
Mia Fey/Miles Edgeworth
I like the idea of Edgeworth coming to genuinely respect Mia after their court case, even if he struggles a bit with accepting that due to his pre-character development mindset. I also like the idea of him developing a bit of a weird crush to go along with that, which he’s very confused and kinda angry about and generally just completely incapable of dealing with like a normal person.
I think it would be fun to see them encountering each other in the years between that first trial and Mia’s death. Maybe they bump into each other while both looking into Dahlia. Maybe they come close to facing each other in court again once or twice but it never quite happens, and they have mixed feelings about it all. Maybe they wind up discussing upcoming cases and grudgingly appreciating each other’s insight. I’d also be interested in Edgeworth’s thoughts and feelings on her death and prosecuting the trial for her murder. Or maybe he eventually gets to talk to her again via spirit channelling, with all the baggage that entails.
Amphibia
Grime/Sasha Waybright
Their relationship is just so fun and weirdly sweet. I love how they start off just using each other and are both aware of it, but they wind up genuinely getting along and caring about each other and sticking with the other out of loyalty even if they disagree. And also they just really enjoy beating up giant monsters together.
I enjoy them happily being villains and leading conquering armies and also their eventual change of heart leading to them protecting Wartwood and heading up the resistance from there. I also find it interesting that Sasha made herself at home almost as much as Marcy and didn’t seem too fussed about when/if she made it back to Earth, so some AU future scenario where she stays in Amphibia or is able to easily return and becomes really established there with Grime would be fun to explore. And one of my favorite little things is how completely in sync they are whenever they fight together, barely having to say a word or do anything to signal each other, so I would also enjoy anything about them training and practicing combo moves or just them striking cool fighting poses together. Or more of Grime carrying Sasha for whatever reason.
Arcane
Jinx/Silco
Rewatched some episodes recently, and I’m still so into whatever the hell their whole deal is. The uncomfortably intimate body language, the “us against the world”ness, the twisted but completely genuine love between them that absolutely encourages the worst in each other. Yes please, give me all of that.
Anything with the same ambiguous intimacy they have in the show would be great, as would them pushing what limited boundaries they have and justifying it to themselves. Something post-season one would also be very welcome, a canon divergence scenario where Silco survives or is resurrected or comes back wrong in some way, or just more of Jinx grieving in unhealthy ways and wanting/not wanting Silco to join her regular hallucinations. Or play around with the alternate timeline from that season two episode! Maybe Jinx winds up there and clings to the still alive alt!Silco who is a bit weirded out by the intensity, or somehow they both wind up there and try to figure things out together while weirding everyone else out. Or, hey, maybe alt!Silco and Powder are already kinda weird with each other, just in a moderately healthier way.
Dishonored
Billie Lurk & Thomas
Billie Lurk & The Whalers
The relationship Billie has with the other Whalers is really fascinating to me, since they generally seem to respect her while she stays kind of aloof from everyone but Daud. Some of the comments they make after her betrayal and exile/death are pretty interesting, along with the letter from another former Whaler in the sequel. And Thomas was next in the chain of command, and he and Billie apparently either stayed in touch or reestablished contact after Dunwall, so I’m curious what kind of relationship they had.
Anything from their Whaler days would be fun. Who did Billie come up through the ranks with? Did they train together, commiserate over dealing with new recruits, complain about the boss, or was she already keeping to herself? Or anything later on, after Billie’s betrayal and the last days of the Whalers. How did she wind up in contact with Thomas again? Did she meet up with anyone else? Maybe Thomas or another Whaler was a passenger on the Dreadful Wale once, or maybe they meet again after the events of Death of the Outsider.
Daud/Billie Lurk
This is one of those relationships that was basically tailor-made for me. Mentor/student, leader and their close subordinate who can get away things others can’t, age gap, complicated issues of trust and loyalty and betrayal and forgiveness – these are a few of my favorite things. I love everything about these two and their messy, complex history with each other.
I would love pretty much anything for these two – something from their Whaler days pulling off jobs or fighting and training and blowing off steam together, AUs where they meet up again earlier than in canon and have to sort their shit out without that time pressure helping them along, spending their last little bit of time together on the Dreadful Wale, AU endings to Death of the Outsider and its aftermath, fun with Fugue Feast, anything.
Daud/Jessamine Kaldwin
So, this one is a little bit complicated, given that Daud’s hired killing of Jessamine is the inciting incident for the whole series, but I think there’s some interesting potential here. Daud has a clear respect for Jessamine, and her death affects him in a way none of his other victims has. And Jessamine gets the rare opportunity to assess her murderer after her death, and she finds herself a little conflicted about what he deserves, despite her justified anger. And before all of that, they were both prominent, powerful figures running different parts of the same city – who’s to say they never had any dealings with each other in all those years before the murder?
I’d just be interested in any kind of possible interaction between these two. Maybe pre-canon Jessamine had reason to hire an assassin, or she tried to get rid of the Whaler presence in her city, or they crossed paths in some other way while doing their jobs. Or maybe an AU where Daud decides not to go through with the assassination for whatever reason and they develop some kind of relationship in the aftermath. Fun with Fugue Feast is also very welcome here.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
Revali/Zelda
Link/Revali/Zelda
The added flashback with Revali and Zelda from the Champion’s Ballad DLC intrigued me, and I’ve been really into the idea of this ship since. They both obviously grapple with issues of self worth and pushing themselves as hard as they can to meet their own high standards, though they deal with it and show it in very different ways. I also like how Revali’s diary shows how Zelda’s sincerity and selflessness genuinely moves him, and he clearly understands and sympathizes with her fears and failures despite his denials. And something about the soft way his spirit says, “The princess has been waiting an awful long time,” after Link frees Vah Medoh really gets to me.
I would just enjoy seeing more of them, maybe having some quiet moments of understanding and bonding over all those shared issues that lead to more. Or, hey, different Zeldas often wield the Light Arrows throughout the series (and this one does during the Age of Calamity timeline). Maybe they could hang out and do some archery together.
As for having Link in there as well, this is one of my favorite versions of the Link/Zelda relationship, with all their complicated feelings of duty and failure and resentment and loyalty all mixed up in each other and the way those feelings progress over time, and Revali is hilariously tsundere about Link. I think it would be fun for all three of them to find a way to settle in together.
Psychonauts
Sasha Nein/Milla Vodello
I love everything about these two. They’re psychic secret agent partners! They go on ridiculous missions together and fight crime - psychic crime! One of these missions involved being undercover in elaborate costumes at a fancy party! They have had at least one clichéd instance of falling down and landing on top of each other in a ~romantic~ pose! They reach for each other as their plane is going down! I eat this stuff up with a spoon.
While Psychonauts 2 was tragically not The Sasha and Milla Kissing Game, I really enjoyed that it gave us more of them in their element at the Motherlobe and also out on a real mission. I would love to see even more of them working together, in the field, at camp, or at the office. All the other characters are great too, so bringing in campers, interns, and coworkers would be very welcome – the fact that there is office gossip about their relationship is a delight to me. Exploring just how strong their psychic bond is (they’re always talking!) and how they came to be so close would also be great.
Well, that about sums it up, I think. Again, thank you so much for creating something for me! If you like prompts, I hope what I gave you is helpful. If you prefer to work without them, I look forward to seeing whatever you come up with. I’m sure whatever you make will be awesome!
