I love the concept of this exchange so much, and I'm glad I managed to sign up once again.

General notes:
-Opting-in to OC and crossover ships! Feel free to go with any pairing idea that seems fun to you. I will look up canons/concepts unfamiliar to me no problem.
-I enjoy all kinds of fanwork moods, from fun and lighthearted to grim and angsty. Horror and dark endings are also fantastic! Please go with whatever works best for you. I'm also open to any sort of unusual format or POV as well as any and all AUs
-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.
-Any level of shippiness is cool, from pre-relationship flirting to heavy smut.

Pairing DNWs:
Teuta/Crow
Teuta/Helvetica
Teuta/Mozu
Some prompts:
-Something with Teuta using her time travel abilities
-Slice of life or couple activities in New Sieg: exploring the city together, shopping at Trader Jones', etc.
-Pursuing her journalism career, falling into a meeting with someone while following up on a lead
-Appearances by any of Teuta's friends or side characters from the routes
LBD/F, LBD/M, LBD/NB, LBD/O
I loved many things about Chainsaw Man, from the body horror to the heavy-hitting emotions. The worldbuilding was so believably nightmarish to me, and Kobeni's terror of it all felt very justified. Would love to see her getting admiration, whether human, devil or otherwise.
Pairing DNWs:
Kobeni/Aki
Kobeni/Angel Devil
Some prompts:
-Someone becoming attracted to her while she's on the job with Public Safety
-Admiring her hidden talents
-Enjoying something luxurious that doesn't get taken away
-Kobeni finally gets to go to college and meets someone interesting there
-Entertaining the idea of a new contract with a devil or someone who seems like one
-Anything involving Dance Dance Revolution
LBD/F, LBD/O
Some prompts:
-The classic: someone becomes a member of Cupid Corp while looking for love and ends up falling for their advisor instead
-AU where Lynette never left Celestia and got involved with someone while still acting as a goddess
-Anything where Lynette doesn't have to give up her powers after falling in love
-Last-minute hesitation before shooting someone with a golden or leaden arrow leads to romance
-Any art or visual descriptions that lean into the game's loud color palette
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
Beatrice
LBD/F
I always felt sad about Beatrice's isolation, and I would be happy with anything that brings her comfort or excitement. As for Azena, I'd love to see if someone can break through her abrasive exterior. Player character ships are welcome!
-Getting set up on a date by Nineveh or Inanna
-Flirting in Trixion or Rohendel
-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/O
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.
F/M Pairing Opt-in:
Anastasia/Hugo
Some prompts:
-Using Fatal Rewind to save someone
-Someone else contributes to Ana's quest for revenge
-Ana isekais to someone else's world like she did in a certain canon route
-Dub or nonconned by a villainess
LBD/F
Alas, Chloe - I'd love to see a different ending for her! What kind of woman would catch her interest? Could be a rival or someone she has an unexpected rapport with. Feel free to include all the violence you want.
Pairing DNWs:
Chloe/Kirika
Given Chloe's Kirika fixation is such a huge part of her character, it's totally fine to mention it as a background/past thing if you'd like.
Some prompts:
-Other half of the ship is an assassination target
-Chloe favors blades but what if someone tried to get her into other combat styles?
-Shopping for cloaks or weapons together
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 any series you think would fit!
-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.
