[westiereads]

LETTER COMPLETE

Hi, and welcome to another FFFX Dear Creator letter from me!

It's going to be a bit different than last year, mainly because I'm going to list my general likes/DNWs in a list form, instead of just bunched up like last year! (My likes/smut likes are not exhaustive, if it's not in my DNWs there's a good chance I'll love it! But feel free to have the mod message me if you're unsure! Also unless stated as a DNW, I'm okay with smut for all listed pairings. Also, I ahave absolutely no preference for alpha/omega or top/bottom for any of the ships, so write whatever you want to if you write smut!)

FANDOM/PAIRING PROMPTS:

SK8 the Infinity

• NB: I'm totally okay with "no S" AUs, or "S is something else" AUs! (Like, "S is a group of superheroes" or the like)



• Kikuchi Tadashi/ Shindo Ainosuke: I seriously cannot get these two out of my brain. I LOVE them. I llove their whole casual pet play in the show, but I especially love how near the end, you can see how much Ainosuke loves him. I view Ainosuke in a positive light, but I'd be totally okay with early post-anime Ainosuke still trying to heal after everything, because recovery is messy! Him just starting sobbing for no reason, accidentally snappping at Tadashi etc... and Tadashi just being there for him and being oh so gentle, even when Ainosuke doesn't think he deserves it. For specific prompts/ ideas, I'm honestly open for everything here. Something soft (Ainosuke slowly getting redeemed and trying to be a better man? Maybe learning to cook for Tadashi, and maybe even a proposal!), something more hurt/comfort (Ainosuke getting really badly hurt and ending up in the hospital, a kidnapping situation etc), or just whatever you can think of! As you will find with all of my sign-ups, I don't have any real preference for who tops and bottoms. For omegaverse I do have a preference for omega Ainosuke, but I also love alpha Ainosuke! I also have a soft spot for service top Tadashi.



• Nanjo Kojiro&Shindo Ainosuke&Sakurayashiki Kaoru: Hi yes, I love LMB sooo much. I love them both as a platonic group, but if you want to throw in some non-platonic stuff, please, feel free! I also have a very soft spot for Kojiro/Kaoru being friends with benefits with Aionosuke. But to keep it to the platonic, for some prompts... I'd both love an exploration of them in the past, before Kojiro and Ainosuke left, but also the adult group! As with the prompts above, I'd love hrut/comfort with them. Maybe Ainosuke goes to the hospital, not thinking any of them would show up, since their renewed friendship is still so new and fragile, but they both show up. I'd love just seeing him enerestly trying to make amends and getting his friends back!



• Kyan Reki/Hasegawa Langa: My baby boys. Honestly, feel free to go fucking ham here! My only big wish is insecure Reki getting so much platonic love from their friends, and romantic love from Langa. But that's not a must, just something I really like! For some other specific things to add some flavour (and because I cannot stop loving Ainosuke), maybe one of them wants to confess to the other, but they don't know how, so they go to Ainosuke for some advice? Totally okay with both Reki&Ainosuke and Langa&Ainosuke!



• Char: Shindo Ainosuke: I just cannot shut up about him. His struggles, the abuse he suffered, how hard he's trying to fix himself and redeem himself post-anime... I love it all! I also just love fluff with him. I'd love anything with him here! Character studying him and his redemption, his friendships, angst with a happy ending... i love it all! One idea I have in my mind is kidnapped Ainosuke, who is still slowly healing mentally and getting redeemed, so he doesn't believe anyone will come for him... but they all try hard to find him, because despite everything, they still really care for him!



• Nanjo Kojiro/Sakurayashiki Kaoru: THE THEM. Just... the them. I love them. Their banter, their bickering, how much they clearly care for each other, despite the act they put on... I just love them! Whether you decide if they had any contact while Kojiro was in Italy is totally up to you. I personally like to imagine that they did have contact, and did things like play games despite the time zone until one of them began falling asleep while they played/talked... but the angst of them not having any contact is also chefs kiss! This is one of the pairings where I really can see AUs for! I wrote the "enemy spies" AU with them in mind. but also just THEM! My like of "character who takes care of everyone finally gets taken care of" was also inspired by Kojiro! Maybe he's sick, but he's trying to hide it because it's ingrained in him to take care of everyone else, but Kaoru notioces and takes so good care of his gorilla!

Starmyu

• Hoshitani Yuuta/Ootori Itsuki: Okay, hear me out... I love them. And it makes so much sense! They clearly care for each other a lot, Ootori is his beloved senpai, and there's clear romantic subtext between them. I just want something with them, even angst with a happy ending! For another angst with a happy ending prompt, I'd love Hoshitani suffering, maybe he's ill, but he's expected to always be the happy one, and the only one who notices something's wrong is Ootori. Bonus points if Hoshitani ends up in the hospital because he's neglected himself, and when he wakes up, Ootori is there! As for smut, if that's what you wanna write... honestly, go ham!



• Tsukigami Haruto/ Uozumi Asaki: So... there's a line in season 2, said by Uozumi, that sounds like he and Haruto used to date, but broke it off. I would love something that explore their relationship! Whether it's them being together in their youth, them trying to make it work later, one of them drunk calling the other, one of them ending up at the other's doorstep because of something (maybe a mugging, if you need ideas!)... I love it all! I just think they're neat!



• Kuga Shuu/Tengenji Kakeru: I love them. Kuga clearly gets along well with Tavian, and I don't think that Tengenji would let anyone he doesn't trust/ like near his precious baby. I can see everything for them! Smut, aged up post--anime shenanigans, Tengenji hafing a breakdown due to something and Kuga being there for comfort... everything!

Lupin III

• Jigen Daisuke/ Lupin III: I honestly really ship these two dorks. I haven't seen every Lupin-thing yet, but their dynamic is clearly them flirting all the time and caring for each other. If you want any ideas, I'm all for some angst with a happy ending for them! Maybe Jigen has been kidnapped, and Lupin has to work with Zenigata to find him (or vice versa). Honestly, I'd be happy for anything with them!



• Ishikawa Goemon XIII/Jigen Daisuke: Honestly yeah, I really love these two, and can definitely see them together. I personally headcanon that Goemon has only just realized that he's into guys (no preference if he's gay, bi, pan etc, take your pick!), and maybe have that as some of the conflict while he comes to terms with his feelings for Jigen. This is also my only exception for my major character death DNW: i'm okay with lupin either faking his death or being dead for real, and Goemon and Jigen turn to each other for comfort after losing their shared best friend/partner in crime!



• Jigen Daisuke & Zenigata Kouichi (PLUS Lupin III & Zenigata Kouichi): Yeah, this one is a double prompt/explainer, as most of what I have to say about both friendships are the same for both. I just love the whole unlikely partnership trope for them. Like, Jigen/Lupin being forced to work with Zenigata to save the other is one of my favourite tropes.



• Lupin III/Zenigata Kouichi: another amazing ship! I seriously love their whole dynamic woth their cat and mouse game, with Lupin clearly just treating it like a game. One of my favourite ideas for them is them having to reluctantly having to work together (in the style of Cagliostro and the part II opener, for example). Another thing I love for them is having to fake being a couple/ being married. Plenty of opportunities for some jokes about "being tied down"!
  

Ace Attorney

• Apollo Justice/Klavier Gavin: I absolutely love Klapollo. I think they have great chemistry and I would love to see something with them! I love reading stuff that takes place between Apollo Justice/ Dual Destinies, with how (badly) they're coping with the aftermath of the Misham trial... especially Klavier! But I also love general hurt/comfort with them, as well as slow burn, and general fluff.


Kristoph Gavin/ Simon Blackquill: So... this one probably require more explanation, since they never actually meet in game... but it's unironically my OTP. In my head, they're a loving couple where Kristoph got out of jail together with Simon, but I just really want something with them, whether that be fluff inside or outside of prison, or some really hot smut. I love it all with them! Extra bonus in smut if Simon uses his manipulation as some kind of foreplay, and Kristoph's totally into it!


• Klavier Gavin & Simon Blackquill: They're basically my platonic OTP. I looove them so much. I love imagining Klavier opening up his home for Simon when Simon is released from prison, and just taking care of his coworker/friend in his time or need. Maybe he even gently holds Simon when he finally lets himself cry! One of my favourite dynamics for them is exes that turn into best friends, if you can see that!

The Kid Detective

• Char: Abe Applebaum: I watched the movie recently, and I seriously loved it! Abe is such an interesting and flawed character, and I'd loove seeing something with him! Maybe a case for teen Abe you've made up, a "Gracie wasn't kidnapped(or Abe found her fast)" AU where he takes on tougher cases... I'd also love some post canon stuff! We clearly see how he's struggling as the movie ends and he begins sobbing. Maybe he starts trying to get help? Therapy, trying to lay off the drink and the drugs... maybe you could even pair that with a case! In general, i'm just looking for anything in this great universe! More cases, Abe trying to turn a new leaf... the works! Maybe Caroline ends up assisting him on cases?

Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc

• I don't have anything specific thoughts about any of the pairings/ friendshiops I've listed here, I love them all! I will talk a bit about the canon though, and what I love. I love both AU'sm canon typical stuff, stuff about what happened after the game ended... everything, honestly! I am a sucker for mystery fics, and I would love something like an AU outside of the school! You dopn't have to kill the ones whloo dies in the game, it can also be an AU where they all live and someone else dies, whatever you can think up!
