allekhaThank you for making something for me! I'm sure I will enjoy it. Please don't feel too bound to the prompts and ideas in this letter if you have another idea that you think I would like; they're just there for inspiration if you want it. I am ![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
Allekha on AO3 as well.
DNWs: A/B/O, unrequested mundane or setting/career change AUs, pregnancy, noncanon character death, infidelity, rimming, daddy/mommy kink, confirmed unrequited pining, humiliation, surrealism in fic (okay in art), requested ships breaking up*; for Yuri on Ice, homophobia, or father/son dynamics between Victor/Yuuri and Yuri

General likes:
Hikari no Densetsu
Fukigenna Mononokean/The Morose Mononokean
Onmyouji films
Yuri on Ice
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Hikari no Densetsu (fic, art)
Kamijou Hikari/Shiina Hazuki
Honestly, I would just love to see anything for these two 80s rhythmic gymnasts.
Prompts: Hikari and Hazuki training hard alone or together, admiring each other as in canon, h/c with Hazuki's illness (I interpret it as an eating disorder as shown in the anime, but apparently in the manga it's leukemia? either, or another interpretation, is fine with me) or a small injury either gets, doing a gala together, art with their apparatuses connecting them to each other somehow (maybe something evoking the red string of fate with the ribbon/rope?), getting to go to an international competition together and competing or exploring, time loop at a competition, Hikari goes to Bulgaria after all (or they go together)
Fukigenna Mononkean/The Morose Mononokean (fic)
Abeno Haruitsuki/The Executive
Abeno Haruitsuki & The Executive
I'm all caught up on manga spoilers! I'd be happy to see any other characters show up, too.
I see the potential for Itsuki and the Executive to have such a complicated relationship – Itsuki is a human who lives in the youkai world, and the Executive hates humans; but he's also the master of the Mononokean and the ward of Aoi, who the Executive was apparently fond of, and an impressive student. The Executive has his hands all over Itsuki the first time we see them interact and there's this push/pull between them with the whole almost-killing-Ashiya incident. Would love to see anything that explores that dynamic, Itsuki's strange between-worlds position, or worldbuilding about the youkai vs human world.
Also wouldn't mind something lighter set when Itsuki is still a child, about the Executive teaching him, or maybe a time he had to take care of Itsuki for a bit for Reasons, or little Itsuki wanting to run errands for him like we see him do with the Legislator, or perhaps him figuring out why Itsuki is even with Aoi?
Other prompts: the Executive may be a workaholic, but he still notices Itsuki overextending himself; Itsuki has trouble sleeping due to nightmares (of Aoi? Of the Executive trying to kill Ashiya?); Aoi tries to get the Executive to help them train little Itsuki's powers; wingfic + the Executive's bird motif; character perspective on canon events; the Executive figures out that something happened to Itsuki on a recent request, whether it was caused by a human or a youkai; how might their relationship change in the future, assuming Aoi is safely brought back?
Onmyouji films (fic, art)
Abe no Seimei/Minamoto no Hiromasa
Would love anything with period details and that evokes the feeling of the period, both in court (really, the court culture was ridiculous and glorious all at once, I love it) and out of it. I also love all kinds of spirits, ghosts, and goblins, especially tsukumogami, and any use of magic.
Potential ideas: music and its power (or simply its loveliness), something based off of period poetry, hanakotoba or other ways of speaking without words, Hiromasa gets to save the day somehow, AU where Seimei isn't the only one with unusual heritage, telling too many ghost stories is a bad idea and Hiromasa and Seimei have to deal with the consequences, Hiromasa's insistence on tagging along with Seimei goes awry, receiving Lady Aone's life force had unexpected side-effects, haunted musical instruments or trees, haunted dolls, use of fans (for hiding, for a canvas or to write on, for magic), for reasons (Aone's life force?) Hiromasa gets a magically extended lifespan and he and Seimei are still dealing with spirits in a more modern time
Yuri!!! on Ice (fic, art)
Christophe Giacometti/Victor Nikiforov
Lilia Baranovskaya/Yakov Feltsman
Lilia Baranovskaya & Victor Nikiforov
Lilia Baranovskaya & Yuri Plisetsky
Victor Nikiforov & Yakov Feltsman
DNW for this fandom: homophobia, father/son dynamics between Yuuri/Victor and Yuri
Things I especially like in this fandom: Canon divergence AU. Dancing or skating together. Magical elements. Crying. Time travel or time loops. Skating as seduction or to send a message. Use of social media. The balance between rivalry and friendly or intimate relationships. Interesting costume and makeup choices and flexibility. Mirrors.
Lilia Baranovskaya & Victor Nikiforov
Lilia Baranovskaya & Yuri Plisetsky
Victor Nikiforov & Yakov Feltsman
For these relationships, I'd love to see relationship studies, ballet AU, scenes of them working together, learning to work together, mentorship in general, or how one of them has seen the other change over time. How has Victor made Yakov tear his hair out over the years? Does Lilia cook with Yuri? What did she think of Victor's talent or see him post-canon? Did either of them get consulted on costume design at some point (or sigh over Victor/Yuri showing up in some ridiculous outfit)?
Chris/Victor:
Chris goes to train in St. Petersburg, perhaps for a summer camp or perhaps instead of Josef in an AU. Chris's transformation from cute to sexy. Victor runs into Chris a little later when they first meet and gives him a kiss to go with the flower. How does their rivalry change their relationship? Exploring how sex and relationships work together as teenagers. Lonely Victor gets drunk and rambles at Chris, setting off concern.
Lilia/Yakov:
How did they meet? Do they fall in love a second time? (Maybe they've been married more than once??) First time or last time. Ups and downs of living together and sharing a space again (plus one grumpy teenager, even). Maybe post-divorce, they have a hook-up at the GPF (or some other competition), whether or not that turns out to be a good idea. (Maybe it happens more than once.) Or maybe just a dance together?
Fire Emblem: Three Houses (fic, art)
Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd/Male Byleth
Jeralt Reus Eisner & My Unit | Byleth
Bernadetta von Varley/Felix Hugo Fraldarius
Hilda Valentine Goneril/Marianne von Edmund
So far I've played the Blue Lions route and am playing the Golden Deer; I've also finished the DLC if you want to include those characters.
General prompts: cooking together before or after the timeskip, a haunting in the monastery, bringing flowers to graves, peace and quiet in the stables or the greenhouse, cleaning up after a battle, learning new traditions, teaching each other new skills, reaching out and holding hands, reading or making books together, reuniting, time loops or travel, sharing a bed, playing with game mechanics. I would also be interested in expansions on canon endings, or feel free to make up new happy endings altogether.
Bernadetta/Felix:
Their support chain is so cute, especially the last one – maybe something building off of that, showing more of her efforts to get him to smile? Maybe he likes the books she recommends, and she gets up the courage to let him see her writing? Feeding kitties together? Would also be happy to see an extension of their AM ending, with Bernie managing to become less fearful after all with some support (and warm clothes).
Jeralt & Byleth:
Backstory would be great – what was it like raising a weird kid like Byleth with a mercenary lifestyle? Cute art of Jeralt teaching Byleth how to use a sword or do chores? More interaction during canon events would also be great – how does he react to Byleth's teaching abilities, fifty new hobbies, or invitations to tea parties? Maybe an AU where Jeralt lives, whether because he gets luckier or because Byleth pushes their divine pulse/Faith powers/is on a NG+. (Male/female/genderqueer/whatever Byleths are all great for this one.)
Dimitri/M!Byleth:
Dimitri doing anything he can to get more smiles out of Byleth once he sees the first. He has a crush before the timeskip, but doesn't get a chance to/decides not to confess before everything goes to hell. Byleth trying to help him somehow when the cracks start showing. Long nights in the cathedral post-timeskip. One of the missions goes awry and they get separated from the rest of the class. Dancer!Dimitri - maybe he gets some extra lessons to boost his self-confidence before the competition, or it could be kind of sad to have delirious Dimitri still trying to inspire Byleth post-timeskip? (I will admit to a weakness for the 'Dima' nickname if you want to include it.)
Hilda/Marianne:
Marianne visits Hilda at her artisan academy and maybe doesn't leave. Marianne wearing things Hilda makes for her. Hilda finds herself putting in some effort when she gets assigned stable duty with Marianne – or when Marianne is in possible danger and needs some help. Hilda tries to arrange a perfect date, but it keeps getting fucked up somehow (someone else picked her flowers, the pastries didn't turn out right...), though it all works out in the end.
DNWs: A/B/O, unrequested mundane or setting/career change AUs, pregnancy, noncanon character death, infidelity, rimming, daddy/mommy kink, confirmed unrequited pining, humiliation, surrealism in fic (okay in art), requested ships breaking up*; for Yuri on Ice, homophobia, or father/son dynamics between Victor/Yuuri and Yuri
*Yuri on Ice exception: it's fine to include Lilia and Yakov's divorce
General likes:
- Outsider POV
- Canon divergence AUs
- Slice of life
- Spirits, gods, and ghosts
- Character exploration, introspection, and backgrounds
- Traditional or historical clothing
- Clothing kink of most kinds including crossdressing (exception: lingerie on anyone)
- Playing with gender/expression/gendered expectations
- Intense friendships, complicated relationships, and UST
- Sharing beds or baths (platonic or otherwise)
- Floriography
- Hanahaki disease (more on the beautiful body horror, less on the 'removal means never loving again' aspects)
- Sex pollen
- Language barriers and cultural differences
- Showing care without using words
- Food or coffee/tea as affection
- Playing with/doing up/brushing/washing hair, particularly long hair
- Napes, necks, hands, wrists
- Wingfic or wingart of any kind
