I decided to hold off on actually posting this table for a bit since as you can see if you scroll down I'm historically terrible at actually doing anything with them, but now that I'm a few in I figured I'd better start actually properly tracking what I've done.

Not really a letter here, Demon King Chronicle is just now impossible to get with the shutdown of the Playism store so I wanted to share it if needed (it was a freeware game to start with, so no worries on that end): archive.org has a download that also contains fanpatchs that were made for a few issues in the game.

Sorry for how lackluster half my sign-up was! I was literally dozing off when I suddenly realized "Oh crap, Shipoween is about to close! Double shit, in less than an hour!" and then my computer was working so poorly that I couldn't even get to the form until ten minutes before closing. ;_; But it's functioning again, so hooray!

Just Married Exchange

2019-05-25T00:21:43Z

I generally prefer lighter fic, fluff and comedy and happy things, but don't feel that you need to force your fic in that direction. I will ask that if you can please aim for an ending that is happy, or at least hopeful. An unrelenting angst parade down into unending misery without any light at all really is not my thing.

Genre-wise, I'm not generally a fan of major AUs or crossovers. By "major" AUs I mean things like high school or modern day AUs, where the characters are transposed into a hugely different setting. I'm fine with AUs exploring how the story's world and the character's places in it would be different if some events in the story were changed. I'd also really rather not get something that's pure porn, I don't read that much porny fic to begin with and would generally rather get plot or character introspection over a PWP, but I am fine with sex scenes that aren't the main focus (please ask through the mods if you feel like including any harder kinks, but the only thing I definitely DNW sex-wise off the top of my head would be a/b/o or any type of play with bodily wastes). I like futurefic as long as it's not purely focused on the characters being domestic with kids (I don't mind them having kids, as long as they don't take over the entire story).

I like both plotty and character-centric stories (or character-centric plot!). I like missing scenes fic. Not a big fan of canon scenes from a different viewpoint unless you can do it in a way that really twists how the original scene is viewed. I'll admit that I love catching little references to canon sprinkled into a story, nods to previous episodes or quests or whatnot. No issue-fic, please, or trans headcanons.

Liar! Uncover the Truth (Visual Novel)
Pairing: Mamiya Haruichi/Main Character
Tags: Courtship
Friends and family being way too involved in wedding planning
Crashing A Wedding So Character Can Marry One Of The Participants Instead
Wedding Jitters
Wedding is Attacked
Someone is a bridezilla and it's not the bride
All Agree To Marriage For Both Urgent Practical Reasons And Love - One Doesn’t Realize/Believe This

I wibbled back and forth between requesting several pairings (I like almost all the tagset!) or just the one, but finally settled based on the fact that Haruichi's story is the only one that made me go "Okay, these two need to get married" at the end.

Quick breakdown of my thoughts for some of the less obvious tropes (though if your own mind takes you elsewhere go right ahead and run with that!):
For bridezilla I was imagining either Haruichi's mother or Ayumi, and the people getting too involved can also be Ayumi as well as the Mamiya Family. I'd like less focus on the MC's own family (with an exception for her mother, since I think we see enough of her to get a decent fill), just because I wouldn't be too interested in a lot of OC-focus.

While I put on the crashing a wedding prompt imagining something after the game's canonical ending, feel free to have anyone (other than the third or fifth liars, they're the only ones to totally lose me with their reveals) as the other participant. I imagine Haruichi as the crasher, but if you can manage to sell me on the MC realizing she has to stop his wedding in a timeline where she hadn't been down his story path I would be totally happy to see it. Surprising herself by going nuts with jealousy when Ayumi gossips about how she's heard some lucky girl snagged Mr. Mamiya?

I'm imagining the "practical reasons" as actually something Yakuza-related urgent enough to convince her he needs to marry ASAP (or maybe something related to him being able to keep his company independent of the family, or her starting to have issues at work with people not trusting a wedding planner who hasn't been married herself at her age?) and Haruichi as the one who doesn't realize she's genuinely fallen for him since his own feelings are already well-established.

Assassin's Creed - All Media Types
Pairing: Kassandra/Stentor (Assassin's Creed)
Tags: Friends/Family/Fans/Foes React To Unexpected Or Contentious Marriage
Keeping One's True/Secret Identity from One's Spouse
Marriage is Interrupted by a Battle and they Continue When it's Finished
Marriage is Interrupted by an Assassination Attempt and they Continue After they Take Care of Them
Married Battle Couple
Marrying to spite another
Married on battlefield in midst of the fighting

Ever since I first met Stentor in the game I've had this idea in my mind of Kassandra angrily seducing Stentor with the thought that it would drive her father mad to learn that the son he'd chosen as a replacement for her and Alexios had hooked up with the daughter he'd thrown away. I'd imagined it as a one-night thing, but why not marriage!

I'd also be very happy with something set post-canon (preferably in the happiest ending where she has her whole family together on her ship with her), the two of them getting to know each other with the air clear between them, starting to click in battle, and getting married out of real affection instead of with hidden anger behind it. While I didn't select any tags for it, something that touches on the fact that only one of them is going to be getting any older could be interesting too, though I'd rather something about that focused on the time when they first recognize it but should still have a lot of time left rather than something angsty when he's an old dying man and she's still strong and young.

And while I was obviously thinking of her family with the reaction tag, thinking about it more something about Barnabas and the others back on the ship watching this whole courtship going on with a better idea of her motivations than anyone else could be fun too!

(Sorry this request has less prompts than the others if you matched me on it, it's one of those things where I like it a lot but just can't think of much to say!)

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Pairings: Peter Parker/Tony Stark
M'Baku/Shuri (Marvel)
Tags: Accidental Travel to an Alternate Universe With an Unexpected Spouse
Consciousness Time Travels into Future with Surprising Marriage Partner
Arranged marriage to end conflict
Aliens Think They're Married
Improvised Unofficial Wedding Ceremonies
Nobody Believes They Married For Love
Person Mistaken For Mail-Order Spouse and Goes With It
Renewing Vows For Impulsive Wartime/"We Could Be Dead Tomorrow" Marriage After Years of Peace/Safety
Trapped In Fake Perfect World That Includes Marriage They Don't Believe They Can Ever Really Have

A lot of the tags I picked for these two are very much for funsies rather than having a set idea for something I'd like to see with them. For the most part I haven't gotten very shippy about characters in the MCU, but these are the two pairings that really won me over immediately. Everything about Peter and Tony's interactions just clicked with me, and while Shuri and M'Baku don't have as much to go on I walked out of that movie just wanting fic where she wants to climb that man like a mountain and goes for it.

With the aliens I was imagining something where the aliens in question have a code where they will leave already married people alone when abducting folks for breeding stock, or maybe just not necessarily being a breeding thing but will not separate a married couple and the couple think they'll be more likely to escape together.

The mail-order spouse one I was thinking of it being characters outside the pairing making the mistake: everyone thinks someone ordered Tony a teenaged groom as a gag or wrangled up a bride who can handle to techy things M'Baku doesn't care so much about or whatever.

I'm sure it's no surprise that I'm totally imagining that "fake perfect world" as one created by the soul stone, which I know has been done but is still always fun!

For the time travel one I did deliberately go with it just being the consciousness going, that trope's one I like better if the traveler mentally takes the place of their older self plopped into the marriage rather than existing as their own person outside of it (and I have no issue with Morgan being around if you want to do that 'their child is the only/first one who figures out what happened' thing with it), but with the alternate universe I'm okay with it being played either way.

I partially wave a couple of my DNWs for this one; I still wouldn't want any of them to hook up with anyone else over the course of the story but I'm fine with mentions of past-Tony/Pepper and any of his other lovers, and while I don't want anything super kid-focused I don't mind Morgan existing.

Zootopia (2016)
Pairing:Judy Hopps/Nick Wilde
Tags: Undercover as Married
Undercover as Married Leads to Unexpected Feelings
Real Wedding Night for Fake Marriage

Obviously an undercover case in the name of the game with my requests here! Outside of the actual being undercover something I'd like seeing is if the other animals on the force wonder whether it would seem too unusual to have a married couple where one is a predator and the other prey, but neither of them can fall seamlessly into clicking off another person as if they were married the way they can with each other. Maybe it actually works out to their advantage, because nobody suspects that a couple which draws plenty of questions would be undercover instead of a pair that blends in more.

For the real wedding night prompt I'm imagining them coming up with justifications for why they aren't really doing what it looks like they're doing every step of the way (until they are). Like, they don't know how nosy the neighbors are, one of them can't sleep on the couch in case someone looks in. They'd better kiss and act physically affectionate before getting into bed in case any of the neighbors happens to glance out their windows and see the "newlyweds" getting ready for bed. Who knows whether there are peeping toms in the neighborhood, better cuddle up in bed just in case so things look normal if they spy. And so on.

Game of Thrones (TV)
Pairing: Petyr Baelish/Sansa Stark
Tags: Friends/Family/Fans/Foes React To Unexpected Or Contentious Marriage
Having To Convince The Person They're Asking That Their Proposal And Feelings Are Genuine
Marriage As Clemency At Public Execution
Marriage As Political Tool
Political marriage with both spouses trying to win the other to their side
Proposal misunderstood as being for ulterior motives
Visions of Alternate Timeline Where Impossible Marriage Happens/Works Out
Will Only Agree To Marry If Bested In A Contest Of Their Own Design

First of all, I'm familiar with the books as well as the TV Show so feel free to pull anything from them that you'd like (I wibbled a lot about which version to request since I generally prefer the book version of the pairing because he doesn't give her to Ramsey in it, but decided to go with the show purely because her ending in it is exactly what I hoped for and never expected to actually happen).

While I have a lot of political marriage tropes in my tags I do genuinely ship these two, but the way I like it is when Sansa's either reached a point where she can keep right up with his scheming or is at least on top of it enough to catch him out and call him on shit he's stirring.

I like Sansa being very careful of choosing a husband who won't make her people think "Welp, the Queen's married, guess he's the one in charge now". A southerner from a tiny territory who she hopes won't start making power plays since he does his own thing better as a voice in the ear of power then as the one up front and center anyway. Maybe she waits a good few years first to make sure she's well established in the eyes of the North as the one in charge (which might also help quiet potential grumbling over her choice, if there's a sense of 'Thank goodness she's finally picked a consort so can stop worrying about what happens to our barely reestablished kingdom if she dies without an heir.')

As for the contest one, while I do like the pairing I also like Sansa forcing him to prove himself after everything he's done.

Handwave his being alive however you'd like.

Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Pairing:Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)
Tags:"We Could Be Dead Tomorrow So Let's Get Married Today"
All Agree To Marriage For Both Urgent Practical Reasons And Love - Neither Realizes/Believes This
Marrying for Visa and Immigration Purposes
Marrying Someone To Save Their Life
marrying to survive
Secretly married to someone on the opposite side of the conflict
saving the day to be rewarded with permission for otherwise forbidden marriage

For many of these prompts I was imagining a scenario where Adam doesn't successfully stop the apocalypse and they get married in some sort of ritual where the one on the side that's set to win (I'm imagining Heaven coming out on top since Hell's trump card decided he wanted nothing to do with the whole thing, but either way is fine) is able to lay claim to the other and basically backdoor them in with the winners when all the other demons or angels are being slaughtered.

Though one of them trying to settle into a new country the other is already established in and having to talk them into an actual Earthly green-card wedding could also be funny! (Things were so much easier before the humans started trying to keep track of everyone all the time.)

And anything where things go just as they do in the books and the two of them are still safely on Earth, get married, and try very hard to keep their respective higher-ups (and lower-downs, and just anyone remotely related to work) from noticing would also be great. Maybe hanging around Tadfield a bit, not really sure if Adam kept his powers (rather hoping he didn't) but figuring that if there's any chance he did then this small child might be able to keep eyes from both sides off of them if they got his approval.

For the saving the day one I imagine it's Aziraphale trying to pull off some massive win for Heaven just because I don't imagine Crowley would care as much about permission, but either way would be fun even if his focus is less 'make them okay with it' and more 'make them not do horrendous things to us both if they find out.'

Nothing pulled from the Amazon series, please; I requested them in this exchange specifically because it was going out before that dropped and I knew that if it was popular it would probably suddenly get much harder to find totally book-canon works.

Age Gap Exchange

2019-02-12T11:02:55Z

Sorry for the delay on updating this! I tried to put enough details in my actual requests as I chipped away at making them that you hopefully got enough from them, but just in case:

I generally prefer lighter fic, fluff and comedy and happy things, but don't feel that you need to force your fic in that direction, especially if you matched on one of the fandoms that really don't work well for it (hi there, Silent Hill). I will ask that if you can please aim for an ending that is happy, or at least hopeful. An unrelenting angst parade down into unending misery without any light at all really is not my thing.

Genre-wise, I'm not generally a fan of major AUs or crossovers. By "major" AUs I mean things like high school or modern day AUs, where the characters are transposed into a hugely different setting. I'm fine with AUs exploring how the story's world and the character's places in it would be different if some events in the story were changed. I'd also really rather not get something that's pure porn, I don't read that much porny fic to begin with and would generally rather get plot or character introspection over a PWP, but I am fine with sex scenes that aren't the main focus (please ask through the mods if you feel like including any harder kinks, but the only thing I definitely DNW sex-wise off the top of my head would be a/b/o or any type of play with bodily wastes). I like futurefic as long as it's not purely focused on the characters being domestic with kids (I don't mind them having kids, I just get bored by futurefic that focuses totally on the characters' at-home family life instead of anything neat they're doing outside the home).

I like both plotty and character-centric stories (or character-centric plot!). I like missing scenes fic. Not a big fan of canon scenes from a different viewpoint unless you can do it in a way that really twists how the original scene is viewed. I'll admit that I love catching little references to canon sprinkled into a story, nods to previous episodes or quests or whatnot. No issue-fic, please, or trans headcanons.

I generally prefer lighter fic, fluff and comedy and happy things, but don't feel that you need to force your fic in that direction, especially if you matched on one of the fandoms that really don't work well for it (hi there, Kill Six Billion Demons). I will ask that if you can please aim for an ending that is happy, or at least hopeful. An unrelenting angst parade down into unending misery without any light at all really is not my thing.

Pairings-wise, if a pairing I mentioned doesn't work for you I'd much rather you write gen than try to force it.

Warning: Basically all the requests here contain spoilers! Of the two that are currently running (Kill Six Billion Demons and The Good Place) just assume spoilers through my writing this letter on 10-7.

Liar! Uncover the Truth (Visual Novel)
Main Character
Katagiri Keima
Mamiya Haruichi

I requested the MC along with two of my favorite guys, even if they're both liars. Keima because his lover ending stands out as the only one where the guy works his ass off to fix his faults and become worthy of the MC's affections instead of just sorta hovering around pestering her until she decides they're too pathetic to not hear out, Haruichi because even if you don't purchase his complete route he's the only one who across all of his endings (except the bad end, which just feels out of character compared to the rest) is obviously really in love with the MC. Also, his lie is a pretty sexy one. I'd like shippy fic with one of the guys or the other, but you don't need to have the the other show up!

I also really enjoy how the game makes it clear that the MC is not the greatest prize herself, while she's pretty and fun she's also terrible at being an adult and too judgmental (with the two guys here it's very obvious in Haruichi's route, where she's constantly having unkind thoughts about poor Ayumi even though the poor kid's obviously super on her side). The only thing I ask when it comes to picking a name for her is that you go with one that's Japanese.

Liar! is a technically free (though it takes a while to get through without paying) mobile game best described as "Phoenix Wright, the dating game!" After breaking up with her long-time boyfriend the main character goes to a speed-dating event to try to get back in the game, where a psychic at the door warns her that she's going to connect with ten men and one of them is the perfect man for her, but the other nine are all low-down dirty liars. Each chapter is about investigating a few of the guys for whatever trait she's trying to ferret out that time. Obviously, as it is a dating game, I would really appreciate shippy fic!

MC/Keima: After his chapter I really didn't expect his love ending to make like Keima again, out of all the guys he was in the top three of those I came out really disliking after learning their truth (and, as a side-note on disliked ones, please don't have liars number three or five show up!) but, like I said in my sign-up, I really appreciated that the dude worked his ass off for months to make things right and even then is only hoping that the MC would be willing to try being friends with him again rather than expecting romance. So something about her growing to trust him again would be lovely. Or maybe an AU where it was Keima instead of Shizuo who was her college romance, could having her there have stopped his bad habits before they began? Something where Yuri shows up could be fun, she can be so protective of the MC, but how does that mesh with Keima being another of their old friends?

MC/Haruichi: Haruichi was always one of my favorite guys, but after playing through his lover's route I ended up being so satisfied with that as an ending for the MC that I hardly cared about finishing the main game. I love how by the end they've reached a point where he's willing to leave his family for her, she's willing to at least consider joining it for him, and it's not treated like an easy decision on either of their parts. He goes a couple weeks without seeing her just so he can fully consider whether she or the family means more to him! Uncomfortable with the whole Yakuza thing though she is, she all but shoves him back at them when they're in trouble because she knows how terrible he'd feel if he wasn't there to help! A look at his thoughts while he was deciding what he really wanted could be nice. Or something with the two of them slowly navigating where they're going to end up post-game, now that they have time to consider it together instead of it just being all or nothing for one of them. If he does leave entirely it might be fun to explore what happens with his company; it was so important to him that he built this one thing on his own before being called on to take over the Mamiya family, will it still succeed on its own or will it turn out that his parents were secretly helping him out behind the scenes after all without his realizing, and how would either make him react? (Personally I prefer to think that he really did manage it alone, but the MC comforting him when he realizes he didn't could lead to some nice mushiness too).

I know you can find Liar! on the Google play store, I'm not sure if it's in the iStore as well!

Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator
Dadsona (Dream Daddy)
Joseph Christiansen

Soooo, I totally went into this game expecting Joseph to be the guy I would totally hate only to end up on the "Oh my god, give these poor guys a happy ending! He can dump my character while he works through things, that's fine, but that marriage needs to end!" side. So, yes, always more fix-it fic please! And, like I said, I would totally count it as being fix-it if the two guys don't end up together but their time together it just the push Joseph needs to get out of that marriage.

One thing I will say is that I prefer you not run with the word of god that Joseph was comfortably bi all along. He doesn't need to angst over being gay, but if he's not at least firmly in the closet to 99.9% of the world the lack of a good ending just feels even more annoying. Also, no cult-ending stuff please.

Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator is exactly what it sounds like on the tin! You play a dad, you date other dads, it is ridiculously cute, and in all but two cases you live happily ever after. And the other time that isn't the case you at least have the potential for future happily ever after once your love interest spends some time defucking his head. And then there's Joseph, who you hook up with after he's telling you he'd getting a divorce from his horribly toxic marriage only to be told in his ending that he's gonna stay with his wife after all.

Since there are five million ways to read Joseph I'll just break down a couple of me own headcanons of him: he really did think he was being honest with you on the boat (I feel like the morning after scene would have played a lot differently if he'd been lying to get Dadsona in the sack), he's had one-night stands with other willing men beyond Robert in the past but Dadsona is the first he had an actual (cut short) relationship with, and he's not deliberately manipulative with other people but does spend a lot of time lying to himself about what he wants and needs.

So, of course fix-it fic is welcome, whether it's an AU branching off after the third date where he really does just get divorced (and if it is, honestly I'd be fine with it if you wanted to go Robert-style bittersweet instead, with him leaving Mary but realizing he can't just jump straight into a new relationship without straightening out his life first) or it happening later. Joseph watches Dadsona moping around after Amanda leaves for college and can't stand not being there to help him? Dadsona starts actively trying to be a homewrecker because he doesn't care if Joseph still holds off on a relationship with him but that marriage needs to end? A kid at the church goes to Joseph for help dealing with their own parents being in a loveless marriage and how much it sucks and Joseph realizes that staying together for the kids isn't actually great for the kids?

Or, on the non-shippy side, anything else about Joseph's job would be fun. I'm not Christian myself and would rather not go into the nitty gritty about the religious side of it, but his dealing with kids needing help, or arranging more events that go off the rails, or anything like that. I like to imagine that he's actually wonderful with LGBT+ kids, urging them not to make the same mistakes he did (without, you know, admiting he's talking from personal experience) and being firmly on the side of God making no mistakes and loving them just as they are. Or, for gen on Dadsona's side, what does he do? Maybe the other dads, or kids, or both, teaming up to investigate what the hell their new neighbor's job is. Or non-shippy fic about dealing with Amanda leaving for school, or going completely overboard when she comes back for the holidays.

My Dadsona's name is Cassidy, but you don't need to run with that.

Dream Daddy is available on Steam and even on sale for a few days!

Long Live the Queen
Elodie
Ignatius

Ha, I totally didn't plan to request this again when I just got a wonderful story for the pairing in Press Start, but then I saw that *someone else* had nominated Ignatius and went "Well, okay, this is clearly a sign."

You know, the only reason I ever got this ending was because I wanted to get the achievement for getting him to divorce then figured I might as well go for the match, because otherwise I would never be willing to toss Julianna in jail and not release her. So I was honestly surprised when I got it and it turned out to be one of my very favorites. I really like how we know from WoG that the reason he abstains at the vote of no confidence is because he's grateful to her for his position but thinks that she's completely mad for treating his sister the way she did, and it takes you literally making her the very best Elodie she can be to make him see her as someone he could love, and even then she really has to work for it to make him consider marrying someone so young showing that she must genuinely want to be with him to bother. And, honestly, it just makes me happy for the poor guy to finally have someone who really wants him.

In Long Live the Queen you play Elodie, soon-to-be ruler of her country, in the year between her mother dying and her own coming of age so she can officially take the crown. In this time you have to choose what she does from week to week to guide her from being an ignorant kid whose private school failed her miserably to being a competant ruler, which you will almost certainly screw up miserably, probably ending in her death, at first!

Like I implied in the last line, something focused on what it means to Ignatius to have someone really truly want him first and foremost, after spending his whole life being seen as the lesser of two options to his father, then his wife, then (if he gets a divorce) to his his children, could be nice. How does he deal with Elodie's apparently laser-focused commitment on having him as her husband even when he tries to keep her at arms length, does he have trouble trusting she could be serious? And how does the nation react to her long courtship of him? I'm sure some members of the nobility, like Banion, would still spend that time trying to woo her, but even those who don't have a hat in that ring must get antsy over Elodie having no heir and showing no interest in turning her attentions towards someone who seems more willing to give her one.

Or something focused on Elodie, why she chose him, why she doesn't change her mind when placed in "romantic ceasefire". How it effects her friendship with Briony, or something funny with the two of them hanging out when Briony doesn't know and Elodie trying to hide it from her, or figure out how to tell her, or if she should be the one who does.

Or something about Ignatius relearning how to be the one ruling after being given Ursul. Presumably he was taught to be the one in charge when he was young, before his sister was named the heir instead, but it's been a long time since then, are there any misteps along the way as he gets used to being the one in full control instead of just watching and maybe advising? Something contrasting the two of them, Elodie having to learn all about ruling basically from scratch while he needs to dust off those old memories?

You can purchase Long Live the Queen on Steam, GOG, or through Hanako Games' website

Kill Six Billion Demons
Allison Ruth
Cio

With the way the number one trigger of Allison going all slaughtery lately has been things about to cause harm to Cio I've had this mental picture that the way she earns the name Kill Six Billion Demons by suffering a (non-fatal, of course) misstep at some point in her journey which Himself counts as enough of a failure to set the hordes on Cio, and Allison kills her way after every one that dares come after her. After all, she only agreed that if she lost the Court would be set loose to kill Cio, nobody ever said that she'd just stand back and let them harm her.

Kill Six Billion Demons where the goal is not yet to kill a bunch of demons, but you can see it getting there! Allison was just a normal sorority sister when a dying dude stumbled into her room and shoved a magical doodad into her head which marked her as, essentially, heir to the throne of the universe. It transported her into another world while at the same time creatures that followed the dying dude kidnapped her boyfriend, believing that he was the one being marked as heir due to his godly quality of having a cock. Her goal is to rescue him, and take down the other seven beings who've split the multiverse up between them

I love these girls and would love to see their relationship patched up (shippily or not) without having to wait for the strip to get to it! ...Hopefully the strip will get to it. Something when Ciocie notices that somethings gone seriously off with Allison? (Wait, do human eyes change colors like that?) Something where she already has and is keeping mum to work out what's what? Something where Cio is willing to assume Incubus' influence was what caused the fissure between the two of them and not hold the whole conversation with Himself against Allison, and does Allison just let her run with that misassumption (guiltily or with relief?) or does she tell the truth that he wasn't in control then and try to patch things up for real?

If you go with the prompt in my details, throw yourself as far into it as you want! It can just be Allison revealing to Cio that she has no intention of letting anyone kill her or drag her down when losing the bet doesn't seem to be a risk, or you can pick up right in the middle of Allison's fight for Cio's survival. Or a quite moment in between, when no new demons have found them yet.

Or something post-series, when Allison's presumably God-Queen. How does she reward Cio for being her longest-standing ally who doesn't buy into her boyfriend being the actual chosen one? Does she give her a Key of her own, or decide that she doesn't want to gift her something so likely to drag her down into her old ways? Is Cio the only one to still treat Allison like normal, or does she become overawed, or have demonic insticts kick in going 'Too powerful to fuck with, tread carefully' and she jumps back and forth between the two depending on how well she gets forces them down? How does Allison react to any of the options?

Psychonauts
Razputin Aquato
Sasha Nein

Man, this game is my forever girl. I've played it about a billion times, bought it in multiple formats just to shove more money at Doublefine because of how much I love it, and even streamed a playthrough of the thing.

I do ship future Sasha/Raz, but absolutely do not feel like you need to work that in if it squicks you.

I'd love some mission fic. You don't even need to go deeply into what the mission itself is, I'd just be really interested in seeing how the brain-diving we do in-game translates to using it against villains who are actively fighting them instead of people who area generally okay with them being in there. Future summers at camp would be fun too! I always see Raz as continuing to go even when he's too old for it, because he's still too young to be recognized as a real Psychonaut and they're the only ones who treat him like he is one anyway. Maybe he starts acting as a counselor himself?

While I say mission fic, just going into more details of what it's like being a Psychonaut would be great, we see so little of what it entails when it comes to the actual work they do. Or, how do the Psychonauts existing make their world different than ours. This is a world where not only does everyone know that psychic's exist, they have their own branch of the military and top agents have the fame of superstars (or at the very least big-name comic book heroes, since Razputin's view of just how famous they are might be a bit skewed by his fanboyism). What type of effect does that have on the crime of the world? Do regular unpowered people even bother to become major criminals/terrorists/whatever other form of villainy in their world, or does knowing that there are people out there who could explode their brains or rewrite their personalities if they become notorious enough to get noticed cause them to lie low and leave major crime to psychics on the other side of the law?

If you take this one I should say that I really really disagree with the side of fandom that views Sasha as super humorless and emotionless. He's super deadpan, sure, but he tells subtle jokes, and shows concern for the campers (I love the bit when Raz agrees to learn how to fight where it turns out that's just an offer he makes kids to scare them off if his experiments look like they're too much for them, and he doesn't even have the authority to do it when one actually says yes), passion for his work, embarrassment over the mega-censor issue, seems amused by Oleander's grandstanding in the opening scene... a lot of people seem to forget the fact that part of the lesson he taught Raz is that while a psychic needs to have control of their emotions they shouldn't suppress them and turn him into a wanna be Spock.

Really really don't feel like you need to pair them up to make me happy if the thought makes you uncomfortable. If I'd realized how young Raz was from the beginning I probably would never have become interested in the pairing myself, and I'm someone who often ships pairings with a large age-gap. But if you don't have them together I'd rather you not have Sasha and Milla as a couple; pairing Raz with Lili would be fine by me, and so would having Milla involved in the story but I've just never bought Milla's crush as being reciprocated.

Psychonauts is a game set in a summer camp that trains young children in the use of their powers. You can actually watch may own fairly completionist (except fuck figments) playthrough right over here if you'd like to hear my personal rambling about the game or here's a video of just the cutscenes for something quicker (but still 3.5 hours).

The Good Place
Eleanor Shellstrop
Michael
I totally ship the two of them. I loved it when he was a thorn in her side, constantly hanging around and dragging her into things when she was trying to fly under the radar and I love it even more when she's an even bigger thorn in *his* side, constantly upsetting his plans.

Go ahead and focus on any loop, or any of the plans in them (the seduce Michael plan is an obvious stand-out for shippiness potential, but the plan to convince Michael that he was the one in the Bad Place must surely have been fun, and basically all of them could spin off somewhere awesome), or write something about them working together!

The Good Place is a sitcom that just started its second season, about a woman named Eleanor Shellstrop who dies and is informed that she's gone to "the good place", only for her to quickly realize that the person they're describing when they talk about her accomplishments is not actually her. She's not actually at all a good person, although she's not puppy-killingly evil either, and was mixed up with someone else with her same name. So she flounders to learn how to actually be someone worthy of the spot she's in before anyone figures out she's not meant to be there, hoping that if she just lies long enough she can fake it until she makes it.

So, yeah, in all the Eleanor/Chidi vs Eleanor/Tahani talk I walked away all "I'd rather she hook up with the demon, really". I love their dynamic no matter which way they're playing each other, and I've got to believe that over time Michael must have developed some level of respect for Eleanor always being able to see through his deception.

Some other ideas: everything works out and they actually make it to the real Good Place, Michael in tow, but Chidi's lessons didn't really stick so instead Eleanor takes him under his wing with "pulling one over on the goody-goods to make them think you belong" lessons. He finds himself really enjoying being right there watching how her brain works instead of seeing it from a distance? A cycle of the Groundhog's Day loop where he sets himself up as her supposed soulmate so he can keep a closer eye on her. A cycle where she realizes the truth when nobody else is close by and decides to keep quiet and figure out a way to play him in return, when does he have his own a-ha moment about what she's doing? Or something where Sean finally figures out what's up and Eleanor mounts a rescue mission against the forces of hell to save Michael, because he might be a manipulative shithead, but he's their manipulative shithead, damnit!

Black Emporium Letter

2017-10-02T00:41:30Z

I'm signing up at the last minute, so place holder!

The one thing I'll put here for now is that I prefer for my Wardens and Inquisitors to be two-handed warriors (apart from the one obvious mage in the bunch), and to have their default names.

Edit: Sorry that it took me awhile to update this at all, I just don't have that much to add this time! Usually I try to keep the prompts in the details sections of my sign-ups short then flesh them out in my letter to avoid my recipient have to skim over lots of stuff they probably know nothing about to reach the fandom we matched on, but this time since I can safely assume you know everything I sign-up up with I just put all my prompts there!

So I guess I'll just be sticking with some basic likes and dislikes here. Let's see... I'm not a fan of full-universe changing AUs, but I do like for want of a nail style ones (basically, I wouldn't want a high school AU, but if you thought of a neat exploration of one of the pairings I asked for in a version of Thedas where Orlais won the war against Ferelden I'd be cool with that).

I prefer happy and/or funny stories over doom and gloom; if your story does take you to dark places I'd rather it at least have a hopeful ending.

Please no noncon, or major focus on non-canon character deaths.

I'm fine with stories that have sex in them, like a couple of my requests probably made clear, but I'd rather it not be a complete PWP. This doesn't mean you need to work up a full plot to wrap around it either, just having the character's thoughts give some insight into them beyond how much their into this and how good that feels.

A few shippy tropes I like:
* Characters going undercover for something as lovers and then actually falling for each other
* Two characters being caught alone in any sort of desperate situation (caught behind enemy lines, shipwrecked, ye old freezing not-so Canadian shack with a single thin blanket...) and falling for each other
* Characters who've returned safely from said desperate situation and now have to work through doubts about whether their feelings were just born out of that or if they'll last in their normal lives
* Epistolary stories (though I do like them to have the characters seeing each other in the flesh at some point!)
* Slow burn romance

Trick or Treat 2016

2016-09-18T19:59:36Z

Hello there, and thank you in advance for the trickery or treat-giving to come!

Before anything else, let me just say, in case assignments go out before I get home from work tomorrow and finish it, that because I signed up at almost the last minute right now this letter is still a work in progress other than the entries I could copy from last year and the first couple sections I was able to write before bed. Edit: Everything except Umineko is now complete, and nobody offered to create for that so I can at least be sure you have something for what we matched on (though I will be updating that part to, for anyone who wants to treat it, it's just gonna be a long section since there's a bunch of characters so I wanted to get everything else up first)! Sorry again for how long it took, life kept being lifey on me.

I tried to give you a wide range of things to work with, so hopefully one of the things I asked for works for you! I might have more to say about some characters than others but please don’t think that would mean I’d be unhappy to get something about anyone else; if I asked for a character I very much want to see more of them I just don’t necessarily have specific plots in mind.

( First of all... )

At last, Dear Yuletide Writer!

2013-10-20T06:33:17Z

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Sorry again about being laggy about getting my letter up! First thing I want to say is if you were matched on a fandom I have less to say about don't think that means I want it any less than the others. In fact, there was one fandom I'd meant to request all year long only to have a brainfart and forget that while I was filling out the form, but when I went back to edit and switch out one of the requests I did make for it I found that I couldn't stand to remove any of them even for something that had been a set choice before.

( Onward with the letter! )

I'm auctioning off fic for Hurricane Sandy Aid if anyone would be interested! right over here, I'm offering 100 words of fic per dollar donated with no upper limit, any of my usual fandoms but you can ask after any of the bajillion other fandoms I've written. If you want something featuring the same characters or pairings as whatever you've already seen me write chances are the answer would be yes. If you want the POV of a chipper young girl that's pretty likely too, goodness knows I can babble on in a Yuffie or Rikku-style voice all day long with glee if given the chance.
