Assignments are OUT. Also 4 pinch hits
Assignments are out! Thank you to those I contacted asking to adjust their character offers, especially given how prompt the responses were.
A spreadsheet of prompts will go up in the next day or so, but in the meantime there are four initial pinch hits. Please look at them carefully and see whether you can write for any of them! If you are, please comment to this post with your AO3 name and which one you would like to be assigned to. All comments are screened.

Pinch Hit 2: Rose Argent (roseargent)
Request 1:Tales Of Graces
Asbel Lhant, Richard Windor, Lambda
FanFic
I ship Asbel with Richard, but friendship gen between the two of them would also make me super happy, as would something angstier dealing with their divided loyalties. Asbel balancing his relationship with Richard (romantic or otherwise) with his relationship with Lambda during the Future arc is particularly interesting to me--the complicated history between the three characters really has a lot of great potential, and I'd love to see it expanded on. I'd also love to see something set earlier, during the Adult arc, dealing with Richard's relationships with Asbel and Lambda during that period. Really, anything that shows Asbel and Richard balancing their old friendship (or more!) with the new factor of Lambda would make me super happy. If set post-game/post-Future arc, I would also like to see something dealing with Lambda's choice and its ramifications for Asbel (given that it's not clear cut, with Asbel's eye still purple). As a final note, while I don't much like Cheria and Asbel as a couple I do like Cheria as a character, so if you write Richard/Asbel set after the Future arc I would prefer that it be in the context of a consensual open relationship rather than infidelity.

Request 2:Tales of Vesperia
Yuri Lowell, Flynn Scifo, Duke Pantarei
FanFic
I love the way these three characters represent a sort of spectrum, with all three essentially wanting the same thing, but being very different in how they're willing to acheieve it. Flynn is dedicated to following the rules and changing things from within, which is a path Yuri abandoned, whereas Duke is willing to do just about anything to achieve his goals, which is the direction Yuri was heading, but Yuri stopped short when he saw the consequences. So anything that explores the dynamic between the three of them would be wonderful! Post-game would be ideal, but I'll take pretty much anything, timeline-wise. I do ship them as an OT3, but I would honestly love gen too.

Request 3:Vagrant Story
Ashley Riot Sydney Losstarot Samantha (Vagrant Story)
FanFic
You don't have to fit all three characters into one fic--I would be happy with fic about Sydney and Ashley OR fic about Samantha.
For Sydney and Ashley: When it comes to these two, I'm pretty easy and will take almost anything. Slash, gen, it's all good. I'd be happy with something set in-game, post-game, timeline-what-timeline, or even an AU (if it keeps something of the otherworldly feel of the game). I'd love to see more of Ashley learning to live with the Dark and (if he's alive) Sydney learning to live without it. Exploring more about the nature of Lea Monde and the Dark would also be awesome, but I do want the focus to be Ashley and Sydney (even if just Ashley's memories of Sydney, depending on what direction you take it) rather than straight-up worldbuilding.
For Samantha: Poor Samantha. She rose to the rank of Commander in the Order of the Crimson Blades and is clearly a leader who actually cares about her troops, unlike almost anyone else in the game, and what does she get for it? I'd love to see more of her before Guildenstern got to her, or more of the doubts she has in-game; exploration of her wavelength compatibility with Ashley could also be interesting. Like with Ashley and Sydney I'm also open to timeline-what-timeline or a tone-matching AU, just so long as I get to see more of Samantha, especially if it means I get to see more of Samantha as a leader and a warrior instead of a follower and a sacrifice. This prompt has been filled once before in another exchange, for which I am very grateful, but I'm also greedy and can never have enough of her.
URL: http://roseargent.dreamwidth.org/84913.html
Request 4:悪魔城ドラキュラ | Castlevania Series
Walter Bernhard, Joachim Armster,
FanFic
Both slash and gen are quite welcome. Any time period is good, but something pre-game would be a huge bonus for me, especially something exploring the origins of Walter and Joachim's relationship (romantic or otherwise) and how it went so wrong. I'd love to see Joachim first becoming a vampire, or more about Joachim's long imprisonment and its effect on his mind. Also interesting would be a look at Walter's reasons for punishing Joachim the way he did instead of just destroying him, and his feelings re: his wayward creation. It might also be cool to see something set after the Dark Palace of Waterfalls level, with Walter reflecting on their history and his feelings after what's happened. This prompt has been filled once before in another exchange, for which I am very grateful, but I'm also greedy and can never have enough of these two.
URL: http://roseargent.dreamwidth.org/84913.html
Request 5:Final Fantasy XIII Series
Yaag Rosch
FanFic
I realise this is not very helpful, but... anything! I love that Yaag is so dedicated to his job, yet he's by no means mindlessly obedient; he views what he's doing as the lesser evil, and necessary, but he has no illusions that it's not still terrible. He does what he believes is best for the people and when he learns more about the Fal'Cie's goals late in the game he adjusts to that new information; he chooses what he believes is best for the people of Cocoon right to the end, and I love him for it. So, really, I just want more of him! Pre-game fic about his time in the PSICOM academy with Jihl Nabaat would be awesome, but so would any further glimpses into his head and his life during the events of the game. This prompt has been filled once before in another exchange, for which I am very grateful, but I'm also greedy and can never have enough of him.
URL: http://roseargent.dreamwidth.org/84913.html
Request 6:Magna Carta: Tears of Blood
Calintz Agreian, Jei Owen
FanFic
Something set late in the game would be really, really awesome--the later the better, even. A canon-what-if type AU could be especially interesting with this one, and this is one of the few requests where I'd even take a total AU as long as it maintains the same sort of history and power issues between these characters. I'm repeating myself, but, slash or gen are both cool (though even with slash please don't forget about Reith's importance to Calintz). Themes or ideas I'm particularly interested in: basically, the themes that get presented in canon with Calintz having to re-evaluate his feelings and beliefs as he learns more about the people and events he's involved with (especially after late-game events). This prompt has been filled once before in another exchange, for which I am very grateful, but I'm also greedy and can never have enough of these two.
URL: http://roseargent.dreamwidth.org/84913.html
Request 7:Eternal Arcadia | Skies of Arcadia
Ramirez (Eternal Arcadia), Galcian (Eternal Arcadia)
FanFic
This is another case where I'd be happy with almost anything. I'm not really interested in pure fluff for these two, but otherwise I really just want to see more of them. Slash or gen are both very much welcome. I'd love something set pre-game or during the game, as long as it shows more of their relationship and especially Ramirez's loyalty. More of how Ramirez changed from the person Fina knew to the one we meet in the game would be lovely, as would more of the late-game fallout; we get some backstory in the Legends version of the game, but there's always room for more! Further insight into Galcian's head could also be very interesting. This prompt has been filled once before in another exchange, for which I am very grateful, but I'm also greedy and can never have enough of these two.

Pinch Hit 3: VampirePaladin
Request 1:Atelier of Dusk Trilogy
Any Character
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
So I love all the nominated characters. I love all three games. I'd love some worldbuilding in the fic. I'd also love some type of original adventure. I am open to any characters appearing in any combination as long as at least one nominated character shows up. I really am open to any idea you might want to make, so feel free to ignore anything I say if you have an idea. The only thing I don't want is a get something that is exclusively M/M.
Ships: Ayesha/Keith, Ayesha/Linca, Ayesha/Regina, Escha/Awin, Escha/Logy, Awin/Linca, Shallistera/Shallotte, Awin/Miruca, Miruca/Shallotte
Awin: I'd really like to see him post game. I really like the idea of him and Escha traveling together post game. I know it isn't canon because of Atelier Shallie, but it is my favorite ending. I also think he could be interesting interacting with Linca more. I'd also love to see him and Miruca interact and the two work together on a project.
Ayesha: What happened exactly that made her a wanted woman? What was she doing during the events of Atelier Escha & Logy and Atelier Shallie? I'd love to see her traveling the world. I'd love to see her being stuck dealing with something amusing involving her friends.
Escha: I just want to see her doing more work as a government official. I also want to see her traveling with Awin set after the game. There is a part of me that massively ships the two and just wants to see them having a secret relationship. I also love her with Logy too, both platonically and romantically.
Miruca: I want more anything with her. More about her alchemy. More about her studying away from home. More about her friendship with Shallie(s). Or just something about her doing maintenance on her weapon. Love to see her and Logy meet too,
Regina: I really want more of her prospector life or something post Ayesha. I really liked her and am kind of sad that she retired, though I think it is really cool how she supported her family.
Shallistera: I haven't played her side yet, but I am fine with anything and I do really like her. I sadly don't have any prompts for her alone, except maybe to see more of her homeland. I would love a story of her post canon.
Shallotte: I love her relationship with pretty much everyone. I love that she wants to fly. She initially didn't appeal to me when the game was announced but I slowly began to adore her and her singing. I really like the ending with the Shallies and Miruca all running an Atelier together.
Request 2:Atelier of Arland Trilogy
Any Character
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
I love all three games! I want any kind of worldbuilding if you are doing fic. I'd love an adventure. Or a slice of life piece. I'm also interested in what happens after the non-canon endings. Like how would Totori have played out if Rorona had the pie or Lionela endings? How would Meruru play out with Totori on the adventurer ending? But, ultimately I am fine with anything you choose to do. I love any kind of art. For videos I am pretty open for music and I think the only type I wouldn't want would be like pure screaming or gangster rap.
Ships: Rorona/Lionela, Totori/Meruru, Esty/Sterk, Esty/Astrid
Esty: I want to know more about her as a knight! Anything!
Lionela: Backstory would be awesome. I'd love to see the people of Arland turn against her. Explanation and exploration of her powers would be cool. I'd also love to see her during Totori or Meruru.
Meruru: Anything post canon or about her developing Arls would be awesome. What would have happened if her father died during the game and she had become queen? Do people continue to call her princess despite the monarchy no longer existing? What if a crisis happened later on in her life that made her temporarily restore the monarchy until things could get sorted out?
Mimi: I'd love her childhood and her adventuring. I also adore her relationship with Totori in either a romantic or platonic light. Love to see her and Totori after the Mimi ending.
Rorona: I'd love to see her restored to her true age. It would be cool to see how she got from how she was at the end of her game to how she was in Totori. She almost felt less mature in Atelier Totori,
Totori: I love that she is an adventurer alchemist. More on that, especially if she brings Mimi along with her. I want to see her explore more of the world.
Request 3:Wild ARMs 3
Virginia Maxwell
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
I love the world and all the characters. Any type of gift is fine. Feel free to ship Virginia with any character in the game or not.
I'd love something post game with the main characters on the run as wanted criminals. Going on a drifter assignment would be fun. I do think all the Wild Arms games take place on the same planet but very far apart and not necessarily in the other they were released, so anything involving that would be cool. I'd love something about how Virginia uses magic crests for her tools.
Request 4:Suikoden III
Viki (Suikoden)
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
Viki is my favorite of all Suikoden characters. Now, confession time: I've only beat three. I've started one and four, but haven't touched two and five. I'm okay with spoilers from any of the games. My favorite of the three protagonists is Chris, but I am also really fond of Thomas. I don't dislike any of the protagonists though.
I'd love anything! Viki and an unlikely friendship? Viki sneezing herself into a completely different JRPG? Viki as a True Rune bearer? Viki falling in love? Viki accidentally sneezing away armor/clothing? The main character using Viki's teleportation to take over trade completely and make a fortune? Failure at doing a play?
Ship wise I'd like Viki/Chris, but really Viki/anyone is completely and amazingly fine.
Request 5:The Legend of Dragoon
Miranda (Legend of Dragoon)
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
I love Miranda and just want her to have more fanworks in general. Ultimately, I will be happy with anything for her. I'd love to see more pre-canon and post-canon works. I'd love to see what happens to Mille Seseau and Miranda when the queen eventually dies. I always saw the difference between Miranda and Shana's archery was that Miranda's was more military and Shana's was more hunter. I'd love to see Miranda in action as a dragoon post game. I kind of feel that since she joined the group so late that she never really becomes a full part of it, which makes me sad. I'd also love any kind of AU or divergence fic.
Ship wise I've always been interested in her with Albert or Rose.
Request 6:Omega Quintet
Any Character
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
I only really like Takt with Otoha. I love how this is such a crapsaccharine world. I also think there are probably more cities that they will make contact with once the Blare are gone.
Ships: Aria/Kyouko, Aria/Nene, Nene/Kyouko, Kyouko/Momoka
Aria: I feel kind of bad that her original personalty dies at the end of the game. I find it interesting that she is essentially the last Blare. I'd love to see more of her interactions with Kitty, maybe saving Kitty?
Nene: I really want backstory of her and why she has prior experience with guns. Was she a child soldier? Forced to work for nefarious types? An assassin? Tell me!
Kyouka: I love her developing relationship with the other girls and how she is sort of the leader but still gets dragged into doing stuff. I want to see what she does post canon. I also really like the idea of her and Momoka getting together.
Momoka: Momoka is badass. Why isn't there a Momoka ending? I don't like some of the humor about her being so old, but that is more being uncomfortable because of how it reflects on the idol industry. I love how long she kept going alone, how she was still so powerful that she could break the barrier, and that she was brave enough to use an experimental device that would restore her powers.
Request 7:Final Fantasy Type-0
Tiz | Tohno Mahoroha
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
I want to know more about the Tiz! She represents decrepitude. What exactly does that mean in terms of her character? Did Rem or Machina take her place in that spot? What about all the timelines where she was part of Class Zero? Who was she close to? What happens to her now in either ending? Would she rejoin Class Zero in the universe without Crystals ending? Does she leave the planet and go on interdimensional travels like Gilgamesh? What is her weapon? How does she feel about her classmates after seeing them die so many times?
Any ships are fine. In terms of playable characters my favorites are Rem, Queen, Seven, and Trey.
Request 8:Dangan Ronpa
Ikusaba Mukuro Fukawa ToukoFanart FanFic fanvid
You don't have to do both girls. Just one is fine. I honestly find every Dangan Ronpa sympathetic except for Junko. Any type of AU is fine. Crossovers and fusions are also fine. Any non-incest F/F or F/M ship is fine.
Both girls are have severe self-image issues, are strongly associated with another character that manipulates them, and has something hidden about her when first encountered. I want to see either girl happy at some point. Or having a positive relationship with another character.
If you are familiar with Dangan Ronpa 2 I'd love to see Sonia fangirl over Toko & Genocide Jill. Even though I said before that I want a positive relationship, I'd also love Toko/Togami. What would have happened if Genocide Jill had woken up when Sayaka's body was first found? What if Junko had tried to get her into her group as well, I mean Toko had a pretty horibad life.
Yes, Mukuro was complicit in Junko's schemes, but I don't think Mukuro would have done any of that if it weren't for Junko. I see her being just as much of a victim as the other students. I would have loved to see Mukuro vs Peko. Maybe something where Mukuro gets cloned (maybe along with the other dead students). What if her memories had been wiped too? What if she had been figured out for an imposter before her death?
Pinch Hit 4: yaseanne
Request 1:Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Adam Jensen David Sarif
FanFic
My beautiful cyberpunk game. <3 I adore the worldbuilding here, how everything is functional and paperless and it's the messy relationships between the characters that clutter things up. You've got Jensen, who has been sharply disillusioned but who's still got a bit of idealism left, and Sarif, who is slowly turning his dreams into reality and losing his patience. I adore Jensen's gruffness (and I adore that the game doesn't allow you full control over his decisions - his flaws do shine through) and his and Sarif's bluntness probably clash pretty often.
I would love fic about the relationship between Sarif and Jensen. If you want to keep it gen: Tell me how they met - how they started out young(er) and optimistic, but still both somewhat ruthless. Jensen just left his job because of a difficult decision, Sarif's career is taking off. Or show me how they grow apart - I think that Sarif must have had some guilt over keeping secrets from Jensen, and by the time the game starts they drift apart because of that. I'd also love to read more about Sarif's manipulative, increasingly impatient decisions and where they lead and how he rationalizes them.
If you want to make it shippy, I'm cool with an understated relationship/rating that shows how they negotiate their relationship, and navigate that and their professional lives. I am also all up in that kink though and love the power imbalance(s). I can see this both from Sarif's side, whether it's loyalty kink (no uke-fication of Jensen please, and I'm more into the loyalty/submission without the disciplining/humiliation) or his mechanical arm, or from Jensen's side (there's the endless possibilities of Jensen's augs...)
Feel free to include other characters, obviously, there's no character I hate in that canon.
I have a list of general likes and DNWs in my letter.

Request 2:Mass Effect
Female Shepard (Mass Effect) Kirrahe (Mass Effect)FanFic
Gosh I adore Mass Effect. I've played all three games (and DLCs) and I love the world-building and the strong relationships between characters.
I’m fine with Kirrahe by himself, or with Shep, or with other ME characters here. I included femShep because she's my first choice as second character, but her inclusion in the fic is by no means required. I would absolutely adore some BAMF!Kirrahe - from before canon events, when he was working with Mordin, maybe. Or in-between ME1 and ME3, when he’s with the STG, on Sur’Kesh or other worlds. Or during ME3, post-canon - it’s all fine. You remember that scene on Sur'Kesh where he helps Shepard fight off Cerberus? Yeah. I love spy!Kirrahe, and I also love BAMF!Kirrahe.
How about an AU where he comes to Shepard’s party and he and Garrus can address that gun envy? Or Shep caught in the middle of an argument between him and Mordin where they rehash decades of bickering? Or some backstory on how he worked his way through STG ranks?
If you want to write shippy femShep/Kirrahe fic, awesome! I’m totally on board with that - however innocent or smutty you want to write it - and have a xeno kink a mile wide. I’m perfectly okay with gen too though.
I have one DNW here: I'd prefer Shepard to be just Shepard, no custom first name.
I have a list of general likes and DNWs in my letter.

Request 3:The Talos Principle
Any Character
FanFic
Oh man, I love this game: how the whole background is slowly unveiled, the little excerpts of texts, messages and updates, Elohim and Milton, and the confrontation with Samsara and the Shepherd. I’d love fic about any of these characters, or any combination of them. (The player!Android interacting with the Shepherd? Yes please! Milton manipulating Samsara? Sure!)
I’d love fic from before The End, when Alex is coming to the IAN. How do the people working on the project deal with the spread of the virus? How do they speculate about the future and the success of the simulation?
I’d also like to see how Elohim and Milton became who they are - how Elohim grew into a God and Milton snuck into the world and continuously eludes him. Do they converse? Have they, over the centuries, built a sort of relationship - in as far as they’re capable of?
And Samsara and the Shepherd! They’re antagonists, and I’m not sure the game ever tells us which of them reached the top first. Tell me about the Shepherd, waiting for someone to fulfill the destiny they couldn’t reach themselves, and co-existing with Samsara in this place in the clouds neither of them can leave. Do they speculate what’s behind the curtain (so to speak)? Are they aware they’re sequential iterations of the same individual?
I vaguely headcanon the Shepherd as male and Samsara as female, but I’m perfectly okay with other options - or gender-neutral interpretations. Oh, and I obviously don't expect the Road To Gehenna to have any bearing on the fic (I'm not even sure I'll play it before the exchange is over).
I have a list of general likes and DNWs in my letter.

Request 7:Eternal Arcadia | Skies of Arcadia
Ramirez (Eternal Arcadia), Galcian (Eternal Arcadia)
FanFic
This is another case where I'd be happy with almost anything. I'm not really interested in pure fluff for these two, but otherwise I really just want to see more of them. Slash or gen are both very much welcome. I'd love something set pre-game or during the game, as long as it shows more of their relationship and especially Ramirez's loyalty. More of how Ramirez changed from the person Fina knew to the one we meet in the game would be lovely, as would more of the late-game fallout; we get some backstory in the Legends version of the game, but there's always room for more! Further insight into Galcian's head could also be very interesting. This prompt has been filled once before in another exchange, for which I am very grateful, but I'm also greedy and can never have enough of these two.

Pinch Hit 3: VampirePaladin
Any Character
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
So I love all the nominated characters. I love all three games. I'd love some worldbuilding in the fic. I'd also love some type of original adventure. I am open to any characters appearing in any combination as long as at least one nominated character shows up. I really am open to any idea you might want to make, so feel free to ignore anything I say if you have an idea. The only thing I don't want is a get something that is exclusively M/M.
Ships: Ayesha/Keith, Ayesha/Linca, Ayesha/Regina, Escha/Awin, Escha/Logy, Awin/Linca, Shallistera/Shallotte, Awin/Miruca, Miruca/Shallotte
Awin: I'd really like to see him post game. I really like the idea of him and Escha traveling together post game. I know it isn't canon because of Atelier Shallie, but it is my favorite ending. I also think he could be interesting interacting with Linca more. I'd also love to see him and Miruca interact and the two work together on a project.
Ayesha: What happened exactly that made her a wanted woman? What was she doing during the events of Atelier Escha & Logy and Atelier Shallie? I'd love to see her traveling the world. I'd love to see her being stuck dealing with something amusing involving her friends.
Escha: I just want to see her doing more work as a government official. I also want to see her traveling with Awin set after the game. There is a part of me that massively ships the two and just wants to see them having a secret relationship. I also love her with Logy too, both platonically and romantically.
Miruca: I want more anything with her. More about her alchemy. More about her studying away from home. More about her friendship with Shallie(s). Or just something about her doing maintenance on her weapon. Love to see her and Logy meet too,
Regina: I really want more of her prospector life or something post Ayesha. I really liked her and am kind of sad that she retired, though I think it is really cool how she supported her family.
Shallistera: I haven't played her side yet, but I am fine with anything and I do really like her. I sadly don't have any prompts for her alone, except maybe to see more of her homeland. I would love a story of her post canon.
Shallotte: I love her relationship with pretty much everyone. I love that she wants to fly. She initially didn't appeal to me when the game was announced but I slowly began to adore her and her singing. I really like the ending with the Shallies and Miruca all running an Atelier together.
Request 2:Atelier of Arland Trilogy
Any Character
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
I love all three games! I want any kind of worldbuilding if you are doing fic. I'd love an adventure. Or a slice of life piece. I'm also interested in what happens after the non-canon endings. Like how would Totori have played out if Rorona had the pie or Lionela endings? How would Meruru play out with Totori on the adventurer ending? But, ultimately I am fine with anything you choose to do. I love any kind of art. For videos I am pretty open for music and I think the only type I wouldn't want would be like pure screaming or gangster rap.
Ships: Rorona/Lionela, Totori/Meruru, Esty/Sterk, Esty/Astrid
Esty: I want to know more about her as a knight! Anything!
Lionela: Backstory would be awesome. I'd love to see the people of Arland turn against her. Explanation and exploration of her powers would be cool. I'd also love to see her during Totori or Meruru.
Meruru: Anything post canon or about her developing Arls would be awesome. What would have happened if her father died during the game and she had become queen? Do people continue to call her princess despite the monarchy no longer existing? What if a crisis happened later on in her life that made her temporarily restore the monarchy until things could get sorted out?
Mimi: I'd love her childhood and her adventuring. I also adore her relationship with Totori in either a romantic or platonic light. Love to see her and Totori after the Mimi ending.
Rorona: I'd love to see her restored to her true age. It would be cool to see how she got from how she was at the end of her game to how she was in Totori. She almost felt less mature in Atelier Totori,
Totori: I love that she is an adventurer alchemist. More on that, especially if she brings Mimi along with her. I want to see her explore more of the world.
Request 3:Wild ARMs 3
Virginia Maxwell
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
I love the world and all the characters. Any type of gift is fine. Feel free to ship Virginia with any character in the game or not.
I'd love something post game with the main characters on the run as wanted criminals. Going on a drifter assignment would be fun. I do think all the Wild Arms games take place on the same planet but very far apart and not necessarily in the other they were released, so anything involving that would be cool. I'd love something about how Virginia uses magic crests for her tools.
Request 4:Suikoden III
Viki (Suikoden)
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
Viki is my favorite of all Suikoden characters. Now, confession time: I've only beat three. I've started one and four, but haven't touched two and five. I'm okay with spoilers from any of the games. My favorite of the three protagonists is Chris, but I am also really fond of Thomas. I don't dislike any of the protagonists though.
I'd love anything! Viki and an unlikely friendship? Viki sneezing herself into a completely different JRPG? Viki as a True Rune bearer? Viki falling in love? Viki accidentally sneezing away armor/clothing? The main character using Viki's teleportation to take over trade completely and make a fortune? Failure at doing a play?
Ship wise I'd like Viki/Chris, but really Viki/anyone is completely and amazingly fine.
Request 5:The Legend of Dragoon
Miranda (Legend of Dragoon)
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
I love Miranda and just want her to have more fanworks in general. Ultimately, I will be happy with anything for her. I'd love to see more pre-canon and post-canon works. I'd love to see what happens to Mille Seseau and Miranda when the queen eventually dies. I always saw the difference between Miranda and Shana's archery was that Miranda's was more military and Shana's was more hunter. I'd love to see Miranda in action as a dragoon post game. I kind of feel that since she joined the group so late that she never really becomes a full part of it, which makes me sad. I'd also love any kind of AU or divergence fic.
Ship wise I've always been interested in her with Albert or Rose.
Request 6:Omega Quintet
Any Character
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
I only really like Takt with Otoha. I love how this is such a crapsaccharine world. I also think there are probably more cities that they will make contact with once the Blare are gone.
Ships: Aria/Kyouko, Aria/Nene, Nene/Kyouko, Kyouko/Momoka
Aria: I feel kind of bad that her original personalty dies at the end of the game. I find it interesting that she is essentially the last Blare. I'd love to see more of her interactions with Kitty, maybe saving Kitty?
Nene: I really want backstory of her and why she has prior experience with guns. Was she a child soldier? Forced to work for nefarious types? An assassin? Tell me!
Kyouka: I love her developing relationship with the other girls and how she is sort of the leader but still gets dragged into doing stuff. I want to see what she does post canon. I also really like the idea of her and Momoka getting together.
Momoka: Momoka is badass. Why isn't there a Momoka ending? I don't like some of the humor about her being so old, but that is more being uncomfortable because of how it reflects on the idol industry. I love how long she kept going alone, how she was still so powerful that she could break the barrier, and that she was brave enough to use an experimental device that would restore her powers.
Request 7:Final Fantasy Type-0
Tiz | Tohno Mahoroha
Fanart, FanFic, fanvid
I want to know more about the Tiz! She represents decrepitude. What exactly does that mean in terms of her character? Did Rem or Machina take her place in that spot? What about all the timelines where she was part of Class Zero? Who was she close to? What happens to her now in either ending? Would she rejoin Class Zero in the universe without Crystals ending? Does she leave the planet and go on interdimensional travels like Gilgamesh? What is her weapon? How does she feel about her classmates after seeing them die so many times?
Any ships are fine. In terms of playable characters my favorites are Rem, Queen, Seven, and Trey.
Request 8:Dangan Ronpa
Ikusaba Mukuro Fukawa ToukoFanart FanFic fanvid
You don't have to do both girls. Just one is fine. I honestly find every Dangan Ronpa sympathetic except for Junko. Any type of AU is fine. Crossovers and fusions are also fine. Any non-incest F/F or F/M ship is fine.
Both girls are have severe self-image issues, are strongly associated with another character that manipulates them, and has something hidden about her when first encountered. I want to see either girl happy at some point. Or having a positive relationship with another character.
If you are familiar with Dangan Ronpa 2 I'd love to see Sonia fangirl over Toko & Genocide Jill. Even though I said before that I want a positive relationship, I'd also love Toko/Togami. What would have happened if Genocide Jill had woken up when Sayaka's body was first found? What if Junko had tried to get her into her group as well, I mean Toko had a pretty horibad life.
Yes, Mukuro was complicit in Junko's schemes, but I don't think Mukuro would have done any of that if it weren't for Junko. I see her being just as much of a victim as the other students. I would have loved to see Mukuro vs Peko. Maybe something where Mukuro gets cloned (maybe along with the other dead students). What if her memories had been wiped too? What if she had been figured out for an imposter before her death?
Request 1:Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Adam Jensen David Sarif
FanFic
My beautiful cyberpunk game. <3 I adore the worldbuilding here, how everything is functional and paperless and it's the messy relationships between the characters that clutter things up. You've got Jensen, who has been sharply disillusioned but who's still got a bit of idealism left, and Sarif, who is slowly turning his dreams into reality and losing his patience. I adore Jensen's gruffness (and I adore that the game doesn't allow you full control over his decisions - his flaws do shine through) and his and Sarif's bluntness probably clash pretty often.
I would love fic about the relationship between Sarif and Jensen. If you want to keep it gen: Tell me how they met - how they started out young(er) and optimistic, but still both somewhat ruthless. Jensen just left his job because of a difficult decision, Sarif's career is taking off. Or show me how they grow apart - I think that Sarif must have had some guilt over keeping secrets from Jensen, and by the time the game starts they drift apart because of that. I'd also love to read more about Sarif's manipulative, increasingly impatient decisions and where they lead and how he rationalizes them.
If you want to make it shippy, I'm cool with an understated relationship/rating that shows how they negotiate their relationship, and navigate that and their professional lives. I am also all up in that kink though and love the power imbalance(s). I can see this both from Sarif's side, whether it's loyalty kink (no uke-fication of Jensen please, and I'm more into the loyalty/submission without the disciplining/humiliation) or his mechanical arm, or from Jensen's side (there's the endless possibilities of Jensen's augs...)
Feel free to include other characters, obviously, there's no character I hate in that canon.
I have a list of general likes and DNWs in my letter.

Request 2:Mass Effect
Female Shepard (Mass Effect) Kirrahe (Mass Effect)FanFic
Gosh I adore Mass Effect. I've played all three games (and DLCs) and I love the world-building and the strong relationships between characters.
I’m fine with Kirrahe by himself, or with Shep, or with other ME characters here. I included femShep because she's my first choice as second character, but her inclusion in the fic is by no means required. I would absolutely adore some BAMF!Kirrahe - from before canon events, when he was working with Mordin, maybe. Or in-between ME1 and ME3, when he’s with the STG, on Sur’Kesh or other worlds. Or during ME3, post-canon - it’s all fine. You remember that scene on Sur'Kesh where he helps Shepard fight off Cerberus? Yeah. I love spy!Kirrahe, and I also love BAMF!Kirrahe.
How about an AU where he comes to Shepard’s party and he and Garrus can address that gun envy? Or Shep caught in the middle of an argument between him and Mordin where they rehash decades of bickering? Or some backstory on how he worked his way through STG ranks?
If you want to write shippy femShep/Kirrahe fic, awesome! I’m totally on board with that - however innocent or smutty you want to write it - and have a xeno kink a mile wide. I’m perfectly okay with gen too though.
I have one DNW here: I'd prefer Shepard to be just Shepard, no custom first name.

Request 3:The Talos Principle
Any Character
FanFic
Oh man, I love this game: how the whole background is slowly unveiled, the little excerpts of texts, messages and updates, Elohim and Milton, and the confrontation with Samsara and the Shepherd. I’d love fic about any of these characters, or any combination of them. (The player!Android interacting with the Shepherd? Yes please! Milton manipulating Samsara? Sure!)
I’d love fic from before The End, when Alex is coming to the IAN. How do the people working on the project deal with the spread of the virus? How do they speculate about the future and the success of the simulation?
I’d also like to see how Elohim and Milton became who they are - how Elohim grew into a God and Milton snuck into the world and continuously eludes him. Do they converse? Have they, over the centuries, built a sort of relationship - in as far as they’re capable of?
And Samsara and the Shepherd! They’re antagonists, and I’m not sure the game ever tells us which of them reached the top first. Tell me about the Shepherd, waiting for someone to fulfill the destiny they couldn’t reach themselves, and co-existing with Samsara in this place in the clouds neither of them can leave. Do they speculate what’s behind the curtain (so to speak)? Are they aware they’re sequential iterations of the same individual?
I vaguely headcanon the Shepherd as male and Samsara as female, but I’m perfectly okay with other options - or gender-neutral interpretations. Oh, and I obviously don't expect the Road To Gehenna to have any bearing on the fic (I'm not even sure I'll play it before the exchange is over).
I have a list of general likes and DNWs in my letter.
