kay_obsessiveDear CORE Creator,
First of all, thank you so much for making something for me! I really love all of these fandoms and characters 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.
General Likes/Dislikes
Likes: Characters who know each other better than anyone else, whether they are friends, lovers, colleagues, enemies, or any combination of the above. Trust and loyalty. Competence kink. Casually intimate body language. People who have no sense of personal space with each other. Outsider POVs. Interweaving plots. Slice of life. Weird domesticity. Roadtrips. Mission fic. Future fic. Canon divergence AUs. Supernatural/fantasy/______punk/in space! AUs. Interesting little worldbuilding details. Undercover as a couple. Sharing a bed. Culture clashes. People who are bad at communicating finally managing it. Drabbles and drabble sequences. Epistolary formats. 5+1 things format. Stylized designs. Limited color palettes.
DNWs: Non-canon permanent major character death. Explicit, onscreen non-con. Underage sex under 15 or so. Unrequested parent-child incest. Unrequested crossovers. ‘Modern mundane’/high school/coffee shop-type AUs. Anything A/B/O, dom/sub world AU, soulmates, or soulbonds (canonical supernatural bonds and connections are fine).
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.
Dishonored
Requested Characters: Jessamine Kaldwin, Lizzy Stride, Samuel Beechworth, Billie Lurk, Corvo Attano, Daud, Daud's Mother, Emily Kaldwin
Liked Ships: Billie/Daud, Jessamine/Daud, High Chaos!Corvo/Samuel
I love the lore and worldbuilding and aesthetics of these games and all the complicated characters we often only get glimpses of. I would love anything filling in the blanks or giving a few more glimpses of any of these requested characters, from backstory, future speculation, exploring the 15-year gap between game events, or just ordinary moments in their daily life. Or anything further exploring the supernatural aspects of the world and how they intersect with everyone’s lives.
In addition to the listed ships, I am also open to the platonic versions of each of those relationships as well as interactions between any requested characters, no matter how unlikely their meeting might be. Or whales. Anyone interacting with whales (or any other creepy critter) would be cool.
Doctor Who
Requested Characters: Ace McShane, Seventh Doctor
Liked Ships: Ace/Seven, Ace/any other Doctor
Seven is my favorite Doctor, Ace is my favorite companion, and the Seven-Ace era is my favorite of the show. I’d love to see these two having any kind of time and space adventures, together, on their own, or with other people/aliens. Fun planets, creepy planets, dark timelines, bright futures, anything is welcome. I also enjoy both the sweeter and darker aspects of both characters and their relationship with each other.
In addition to the Ace/Seven ship, I would also enjoy Ace shipped with any other Doctor. Suggestions include Nine and Thirteen, but I would greatly enjoy any possibility. I would also enjoy seeing Seven interact with companions from other eras.
Fruits Basket
Requested Characters: Honda Tohru, Kuragi Machi, Kuramae Mine, Manabe Kakeru, Sohma Akito, Sohma Ayame, Sohma Hatori, Sohma Momiji,Sohma Yuki
Liked Ships: Yuki/Kakeru, Yuki/Kakeru/Machi, Akito/Tohru, Momiji/Tohru, Hatori/Tohru, Ayame/Mine
I love the mix of darkness and hope in this canon and would enjoy anything exploring either or both ends of that. All of these characters have a lot going on, and I would appreciate seeing more of any of them. The messy family dynamics are always interesting here, not only with the Sohmas but also all of Tohru’s issues, Machi and Kakeru’s relationship, maybe something with Machi meeting her little brother again in the future, and so on. More general explorations or depictions of the curse are also welcome, looking at the lore and history and mechanics and anything else.
Aside from the listed ships, I find all the relationships and connections between characters in this series fascinating, and I would love any interactions between any of these characters and anyone else you think would be interesting.
I also want to randomly suggest the idea of a Petshop of Horrors crossover or fusion, which I’ve always thought would be neat.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga
Requested Characters: Any (Izumi Curtis, Lan Fan, Olivier Mira Armstrong, Riza Hawkeye, Winry Rockbell)
I’ve always really loved the number and variety of prominent female characters in FMA, and this is a fine selection of them in the tagset! They all have their own very different lives, interests, passions, strengths, and weaknesses, and I’d love to see more of any one of them. I would also enjoy seeing any of them interact with each other - maybe Winry repairing Lan Fan’s automail, or Olivier and Riza at one of the North-East joint training sessions, or any other combination.
Beyond interactions between the tagged characters, I would also enjoy seeing any explorations of the other important relationships these characters have. Winry with Pinako, the Elrics, her Rush Valley colleagues and customers, or Scar. Olivier with the Briggs troops or the rest of the Armstrong family. Lan Fan with Ling, Fu, or Mei. And so on.
Psychonauts
Requested Characters: Frazie Aquato, Hollis Forsythe, Lili Zanotto, Lucrecia "Maligula" Mux | Nona Aquato, Milla Vodello, Sasha Nein, Sam Boole
Liked Ships: Sasha/Milla
Psychonauts is such a fun series. I love how fully it embraces its silly premise and manages to use it for pretty deep worldbuilding and character exploration with some surprisingly dark themes, while still being pretty ridiculous and hilarious overall. The mundane trappings of summer camps and merit badges and office jobs and budget problems contrasted with the whole international psychic secret agents thing is really entertaining to me, and I’d love anything playing with those concepts. All the characters are so unique and memorable, both in personality and design, and I would enjoy seeing more of any of these guys in any situation.
For character interactions, I really enjoy Sasha and Milla’s relationship, both shippy and platonic, and would also love seeing more of their interactions with co-workers and interns, and campers. I’d also love more of the family relationships from the series, like Lili and Truman and Bob, or the Booles, or Frazie and the rest of the Aquatos, especially in light of recent dramatic revelations and her starting to accept her own psychic powers. Frazie starting to learn from the Psychonauts or interacting with the former interns would also be fun.
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!
