echoslam | Chocolate Box 2019 Letter

Dear Chocolatier,

Thanks so much for checking out this letter! I'm

echoslam on AO3, and I'm so excited for this exchange!

These ships and fandoms are all some of my absolute favorites, so I'm pretty much guaranteed to love whatever you make! And please feel free to ignore my prompts and go with your own ideas.

I enjoy everything from total fluff to extreme dark tragedy. What I love is seeing characters who are intensely into each other either as a romantic partner or as an object of obsession, and anything that emphasizes attachment, dependency, or a deep emotional bond will make me super happy.

Shippy themes I would love to see:

I'm totally down for a classic Valentine's or White Day scenario involving getting gifts for each other and/or a love confession
Long distance relationships: thinking about each other as they go about their respective days, staying faithful to one another even when they're approached by other people, flirty emails/letters/phone calls, sexting or smutty webcam exchanges
Good old mutual pining with lots of angst about why they think the other person isn't into them, when of course they actually are
Dates of any kind - I especially like seeing couples cooking or dining out together
Domestic slice-of-life fluff, marriages and honeymoons, even kidfic!
Any kind of physical intimacy - I especially love makeout sessions with lots of kissing (Smut is 100% welcome and pre-approved, including PWP)
I would definitely love anything with an aphrodisiac or love potion theme (aphrodisiac chocolates would be A+++)
I'm a huge fan of the dating sim game genre, so if you wanted to do some kind of metafiction or unusual format that reimagines the pairing as a "route" in a romance visual novel, I would be all over it. (Relationship flags, favored gift items, good/bad endings, etc).

I also want to put it out there that I really enjoy AUs, whether it be canon-divergence, fantastical, or mundane. (I honestly love coffeeshop AUs! Especially if they have some kind of weird/silly twist to them).

Art likes: High contrast, portrait-style, couples being affectionate, any kind of silly meme pose

DNWs: Body waste kinks, poly, bestiality, friends with benefits, non-canon incest

Amnesia - Kent/Heroine

I love the aesthetic of Amnesia, with its soft colors and dreamy atmosphere. Kent's route is one of my all-time favorites on account of the way his earnestness and shy awkwardness gets juxtaposed with his rational nature. The way he warms up to Heroine is just too adorable.

I really liked how in canon, Heroine and Kent pretty much started out as a fake-dating scenario. It would be nice to see some exploration of Kent’s reluctance to get her memories back given their initial friction. Lots of angst and longing would be nice for this one.
First time physical intimacy with lots of blushes and reassurances
Maybe something to do with a clover/clubs suit theme or shades of the color green.

As for Heroine's name, I'd kind of like it if you could keep her nameless, but as an alternative, I do remember reading an article (I forget where) that mentioned a common default name for her is "Rin" so I'd be fine with it if you called her that.

Super Dangan Ronpa 2

For my DR requests, I'm down for all variations: canonverse, Despair, School/Island Mode, etc. Feel free to reference any other DR games or media. Anything involving the NDRV3 Love Hotel is also welcome.

Heir Guitar | Ibuki Mioda/Ultimate Imposter:
In the past, I've received a treat for these two that I absolutely loved, but I would definitely like to see more content for them! This pairing has such a cool vibe, being both extremely over the top hilarious but also quite sweet.

I know his concept is kind of meant to be this big joke, but honestly Twogami is such a badass?? (Like whoa the way he sprints in the anime...) I'd love to see him using his mad skills to sweep Ibuki off her feet.
I'm just really curious to see more of Twogami's feelings about Ibuki - was there mutual crushing? Maybe an AU with different murder victims where they had more time to bond?
Ibuki sharing some of the sweets from the all-girls baking party with Twogami. (IIRC she made a cookie statue of her boobs).

Sonia Nevermind/Gundam Tanaka:
I was so gutted by Case 4. It made me go from not really having this ship on my radar to absolutely freaking out over them by the end of the trial. I love how harmoniously eccentric they are and was really amused by how their antics would unnerve the people around them (especially Souda). Seeing them alive and happy together would be great, but I'm totally ready to have my heart broken again if you want to focus more on themes like loss or even betrayal.

I'm kind of interested in seeing a fairytale aesthetic for these two, whether it's an AU or you want to use some of those themes to describe their relationship.
Just how close did these two get during the investigation in the funhouse? I'd love to see a situation where they ~~made out~~ spent some time alone together in Gundam's soundproof room.
From Sonia's comments, it seemed like Valentine's Day was not a thing in Novoselic. How would Gundam try to introduce the concept to her in his uh, special way?

New Dangan Ronpa V3 - Akamatsu Kaede/Amami Rantaro

The first case of this game really messed me up, and I always wanted to see these two develop a relationship, even in an AU. They complement each other so well, and I like to think that Rantaro was totally holding back some feelings for Kaede since even before the beginning of the Killing Game.

Some kind of take on the Love Hotel scenarios for either of them, smutty or not. The whole concept of that place is really interesting to me, whether you want to focus on physical intimacy or explore what their fantasy says about them as characters
Survivor/Protagonist Kaede AU is always good. I'd love to see Rantaro opening up to her more about his past and the nature of his Ultimate Talent
Phantom of the Opera AU with Rantaro as the Phantom and Kaede as Christine

Voltage Inc's Liar! Series - Any Relationship

I have been so, so blessed by other Liar! fans in exchanges, but honestly, my greed has no limits. I adore this series and would love to see content for pretty much any of the MCs' relationships with the potential Liars or her friends. If you're interested, I have accounts on Tumblr and Twitter dedicated to sharing any Liar!-related stuff I can find.

I nominated a whole bunch of relationships for this series, and I'd love to see someone else's take on any of them, whether it's pre-ship gen, something based on one of the Liar! endings/Lover's routes, or an alternate ending for one of the games. I really would love just about anything!

For more info, please refer to my Yuletide Letter, which has an excessive amount of my rambling about the various Liars. I'm totally still interested in any of the prompts mentioned there as well.

Quánzhí Gāoshǒu/The King's Avatar - Ye Xiu/Qiao Yifan

My love for this pairing was recently rekindled thanks to some awesome exchange gifts in addition to a bunch of Chinese YeQiao fics randomly getting uploaded over the last couple of months, lol. The way that Yifan lights up in response to Ye Xiu's kindness just gets me right in the heart.

I'd just love anything about Yifan thinking he has a hopeless crush on Ye Xiu and for it to turn out to be not so hopeless after all. YX POV and what he thinks about YF would be great.
Post-series would also be great here - whether it's Yifan gradually getting to know and accept Ye Xiu as a person after the whole world championship saga and then falling in love, or something with Yifan taking care of Ye Xiu and him realizing he'll always be there for him
Glory as a fantasy world AU, with a relationship between Lord Grim/One Autumn Leaf/any of Ye Xiu's smurf accounts and Yifan's ghostblade One Inch Ash or his assassin Ashen Moon.

Warcraft - Jaina Proudmoore/Kael'thas Sunstrider

My Warcraft OTP! I've liked these two together since The Frozen Throne, and I enjoy the fact that even in today's Blizzard games, there's still a bit of romantic tension between them. For the record, I've played all of the Warcraft RTS games and used to play World of Warcraft up until just before Cataclysm dropped. Feel free to reference whatever Warcraft media you want, though. I don't mind catching myself up.

I realize that bitter, angry Jaina is the current trend, but I'd love it if you could take your work in the opposite direction. Also, I'd appreciate it if you kept any mention of Arthas to a bare minimum - I'd totally welcome an AU where he never existed or he and Jaina were never in a relationship.

What did Jaina think during WCIII after finding out about how Kael got shafted by Garithos? Maybe a fix-it where she could have come to his aid, saving him and his people and with a follow up of a relationship working out between them?
Anything about their time together in Dalaran, maybe with Kael coming up with a better courtship strategy than in canon.
I'd be curious to see these two reimagined in another Blizzard franchise, like Diablo, Starcraft, or even Overwatch. Something set in the Heroes of the Storm universe would also be great.

Thank you so much for your time, and hope you have a great exchange!
