-I've received wonderful gifts for my LBDs in the past, but please know that I'd be just as happy with more of the same ships or something completely different.

Voltron: Lion Force (1984)
LBD/F, LBD/M, LBD/O
I loved this series as Saya's journey of self-discovery and I'd be happy to see any aspect of her character explored, human or vampire.
I'm cool with references or parallels to other related canons such the original Blood: The Last Vampire film or Blood-C.
Pairing DNW: Saya/Riku
-Saya enjoying her time among humans
-Biting+physical intimacy with a love interest
-Saya using her katana to defend the other half of the ship
LBD/F, LBD/M, LBD/O
Bravely Default and Bravely Second were such lovely games, and I love these two so much. As companions, they're such good foils to each other, and as individuals I loved seeing them develop throughout the mind-bending twists of the story.
Feel free to pair them up with any of the asterisk bearers or other main/side characters. Crossovers and OCs are also super fun and I would love to see any dynamic that you think would work.
Pairing DNWs:
Agnès/Alternis
Edea/Tiz
-Physical intimacy or hurt+comfort after the events of the first game
-Anything with Pope Agnès or Knight Captain Edea
-Fun with any game themes like the magic, fairies, or timeloops
-Could a particular love interest tempt them to be "evil"?
-Sampling sweets or vegetarian foods together.
Feel free to do anything else besides these prompts!
LBD/F, LBD/M
This heartwarming and goofy FPS eSports drama was a bright spot of 2020, and I would love to see even more about my fave the cosplaying, cat-loving vlogger, who I found both inspiring and hilarious.
-Romantic cuteness in-game or before/during/after a match
-Anything inspired by or relating to her many cosplays
-Amusing or infuriating FPS gamer moments
-Getting involved in the gameworld time travel stuff and meeting+getting together with...anyone!
LBD/F, LBD/M, LBD/O
Pairing DNWs:
Jun/Jinpei and any variations such as Princess/Keyop in BotP and Agatha June/PeeWee in G-Force
I love the cool retro-ness of Gatchaman as well as everything about Jun especially. I'm fine with any version of her, whether it's Jun from the original Gatchaman, Princess from Battle of the Planets, or Agatha June from G-Force.
-Slice of life running the snack bar or maybe a patron falls for Jun not realizing who her alter ego is (any kind of identity porn is A+++ for Gatchaman really)
-Teaching the love interest about their methods, martial arts or her fun tools (I love anything that emphasizes the "Science Ninja" part of "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman")
-Crossover/fusion with Voltron (space knights meet space ninjas!) or any other sentai series (or Tatsunoko vs Capcom!)
-Romantic motorcycle ride
Eve, Varesh Ossa
LBD/F, LBD/O
Pairing Opt-in:
Varesh/Abaddon
OG Guild Wars will always have a special place in my heart, and I would love to see anything from the early days of the series. IMO, all of the expansions were excellent, and I would love to see any aspect of Tyria explored, from the cultural landscapes and lore to silly/meta stuff about game mechanics (builds, henchman/hero setups, mission ).
-I loved Guild Wars' take on necromancy (holistic, widely accepted in society, not just about doing things for the evilulz) and Eve's pretty much the poster girl for the class. Something about her time with Team Mhenlo or striking out on her own after Prophecies would be cool (iirc she loved Kaineng City)
-Varesh is my fave GW villain and I always wished there was an option to ditch the Sunspears and follow her instead. Any variation of that or a "Varesh wins" AU would be welcome.
-If you're into GW2, Eve or Varesh getting to play a bigger role in the new lore. Maybe something to do with the big arc about the gods of Tyria in Path of Fire?
-Any kind of Varesh/Margonite or Eve/dead person ship!
LBD/F, LBD/M, LBD/O
Pairing DNW:
Zoë/Alvin Peats
The Longest Journey is such an epic adventure, and I especially loved Zoë's portion of the story in Dreamfall and Dreamfall Chapters. Any game setting or timeline is fine as is anything taking part in one of the dream or parallel universes.
-Propast was probably was favorite part of Chapters, and I'd love to see more of Zoë's laidback mundane life there before things kicked off. The worldbuilding was so fun! Ideas: anything to do with Nela and her food cart, following up with the flirting with Dr. Zelenka, Bioneering student life
-Zoë encounters (love interest) via a Dreamer console (I'm def interested in anything to do with unsettling WATIcorp tech stuff) or Zoë's Dreamer powers
-Roleswap with any of the other playable characters and getting together with someone from their story path
LBD/F
I always felt sad about Beatrice's isolation, and I would be happy with anything that brings her comfort or excitement. Player character ships are welcome!
-Getting set up on a date by Nineveh
-Flirting in Trixion
-Love interest helps soothe more of her disturbing premonitions like in the rapport quest line
-Something dark or angsty that takes into account the lore reveals post Elgacia patch
LBD/F, LBD/M
I loved Emmy's energy and optimism all through the series, and the big Reveal about her definitely threw me for a loop. I'm happy to see her character interpreted however you'd like. If you want to stick to Layton canon, I enjoy all the main games as well as Mystery Journey and VS Phoenix Wright so feel free to pick anyone that works for you.
Pairing DNWs:
Emmy/Herschel Layton (any other Layton family member is fine)
Emmy/Luke Triton
However, definitely feel free to have Luke & Layton appear in a non-romantic capacity!₩
-Incorporating or referencing puzzles in any way
-Villain ship with any of the over-the-top series or out-of-series antagonists
-Two different approaches to solving a puzzle
-The events of Azran Legacy were so heartbreaking and it would be intriguing to explore themes of betrayal or regret in one of her ships
-Art ideas: Layton's London Life style pixel art, other outfits for adventuring, defending or dueling with the other half of the ship
LBD/F, LBD/M, LBD/O
This series had an amazing mood, and I loved Robin's character arc and the sense of emerging dread as events unfolded. I'd love to see her have some moments of peace or romantic tension or fulfillment. Both lighthearted and very dark work for me.
-Quiet moments sipping espresso with a friend/love interest
-Anything more about Robin honing her powers
-Slice of life at STN-J or scary stuff involving what Orbo really is
-Expansion or exploration of any of the witch investigations
-Robin surviving post-ending (potentially with others)
-Fire motifs
LBD/F, LBD/M, LBD/O
Allura is a forever fave, I'd be happy to see whatever ship inspires you. I'm mostly familiar with the Lion Force and GoLion versions of her character, but if you want to reference other timelines, that's fine. (I haven't watched VLD, but I'm spoiled for what happens to Allura).
Pairing DNWs:
Allura/Keith
Allura/Sven
-Allura visits Earth or another planet (the home of one of her teammates or other canon associates?) and is charmed by someone when they show her around.
-Canon-divergence AU where Allura gets together with one of her teammates when they meet under different circumstances.
-Long-term pining finally resolves in romance after Allura becomes queen
-A lot of the villains sure were into Allura, either sincerely or as a pretense. What if instead of being defeated straightaway those feelings simmered into something beyond immediate repulsion?
-Crossover/fusion with Gatchaman (space knights meet space ninjas!) or any other sentai or mecha series
-For non-Voltron Force pairings: what if someone other than the space explorers crash-landed on Arus?
Thank you so much for your time! If any clarification is needed, please let me know.
