Pine-4-pine letter
Hello! I'm glad we share some ships for some delightful pining!
What I love:
* Of course I love pining, especially on the PoV of the piner. Lots of angst!
* Focus on the supernatural elements of the worldbuilding.
* Skilled characters
* Admiration / Hero worship / Actual worship turning into love
* Ethical dilemmas (love vs ethics, hurting the person you love by telling the truth vs lying to them, etc)
* I love dialogue, mundane, double meanings, epic love confessions...
* Pining manifests as submissive tendancies.
Do Not Want:
* All kinds of AUs except canon divergence. Even in canon divergence, I'd rather characters keep their canon personality and most of their history
* Love at first sight. Mention of any character being in love/lust of another only for their looks.
* Cheating (emotional cheating of the A gets with C to get over B but it doesn't work is alright, so is poly)
* Unrequested non-canon ships.
* Mentions of pregnancy.
* Medical themes, injuries with lasting effects, pandemics.
* Any non-canon apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic universe. Focus on mass death in general. Non-canon character death except if requested in a prompt.
* Character bashing (especially of an alternate romantic interest)
* Underage sex under 14 yo (can be mentioned as backstory only if canon)
* Accidental/Arranged Marriage, De-Aging, Gender or sex swap, soulmates/soulmarks (soulbonds are okay),
* 2nd person fic
* Humor based on misunderstandings or incompetence
7 Seeds
Ango/Ryou (Ryou pining)
* B is oblivious to A's pining and A wants to keep it that way
* Character A doesn't realise they're pining
* Character A pines for Character B who pines for dead character
* Character A pines for Character B who pines for someone else
* Character A is too proud to recognise they're pining for B
* Character A pining for B believes relationship would not be possible and begins relationship with C
* Character A suddenly realizes that they've been pining for B and didn't know it
* Character will follow the object of their pining into danger or towards certain death
* A does not realize that they are in love with B
* A pines for B while carrying them
* A pines for B while protecting them from outside threats
* Pining Character Uses Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms to Deal with Their Feelings
Everything about Ryou's complicated feelings for Ango!
If Ango is pining for someone else or dead character (depending on when): probably Shigeru. Ryou pining for Ango believes relationship would not be possible and begins relationship with C: C can be Nijiko or Matsuri, depending where in the timeline you are.
I love Ryou being very much in denial about his feelings for Ango (but after Nijiko, Matsuri and Semimaru mention it, maybe it will change?) I don't like Ryou having a crush for Kokuri, so feel free to ignore this. totally don't bash her, though, or anyone ^^)
Of course it's fucked up. I mean, how can "I can't believe you tried to rape this girl, I will kill her so that you're not tempted to do it again" be not fucked up? It might count as an unhealthy coping mechanism.
I asked for unrequited because the only way I see something happen is Matsuri/Ango/Ryou poly with Matsuri on it, and I won't request an unrequested poly ship or even for knowing the Gaiden ending, But let's say this is an exception.
Pre-apocalypse is good, while they're travelling after Hana's attempted murder is good, post-canon is good.

For the: Character A pines for Character B who pines for someone else, I like if Noya pines for Shimizu like in canon.
I find them super-adorable. I also thing they, at least Noya, might take some time seeing that their ideal of manliness doesn't have to include heterosexuality. (Azumane is gay in my head. Not that it would be easy for him to accept it either)
High school is good, travelling around the world is good.

* Pining Character A has paid attention and knows B incredibly well
For Character A pines for Character B who pines for someone else: I love Kuroo->Kenma->Hinata (of course) and Kenma->Hinata->Kageyama.
Kuroo likes Kenma and Kenma likes Hinata was my immediate interpretation while reading the manga and I love angst about it, but if you can turn one of the ships into something requited happiness is good too (just don't bash the first character or don't minimize the importance of canon friendships please)
Character sublimates pining by adopting a kitten: I love the Nekoma cat imagery too much for my own good :-D
Pining Character A Deviously Tries to Trick Taken Character B Into Falling In Love: OK this one is perfect for the manipulative cats of Nekoma too, be it Kuroo or Kenma.

Shindou Hikaru/Touya Akira (Akira pining)

* A is confused about whether their pining is romantic/sexual or platonic
* Pining Character A is Character B's Most Important Person but Wants More
* They Couldn't Possibly Be Ignorant Of How I Feel So I Assume They Must Not Be Interested
I love Akira being more aware about the not-related-to-go part of this feelings than Hikaru, at least at first.
I would love for them to have one day the truth-about-Sai conversation, but it doesn't have to be in the fic, of course, that's not the point. The point is intense boys pining hard while "only" being each other's greater rival.
I love the idea that it's requited but I won't mind if the characters don't know it at the end of the fic. Obliviousness is a thing. Of course I love angsty confessions of love too. Just no explicit rejection.

* Conversations with double meanings due to pining

I love so many flavours of pining for this ship! Teen Croix discovering her sexual orientation and pining for Chariot. Chariot pining for her best friend (or was it more, and she never noticed) who betrayed her. Post-canon mutual pining (especially if they're on an adventure of the forced to work together type)!
I don't mind the characters not learning yet their feelings are not unrequited if it's not post-canon, to make it more canon-compliant. I just want no explicit rejection.

*Optional prompts:
* Love (romantic or elsewhere) doesn't exist on Warlock's planet. Warlock tries to understand the nuances of what he feels towards Doug, and maybe what Doug feels towards him.
* More of Warlock's creepy-cute alien mourning like in episode 64! Go wild!
* When Doug comes back controlled by Selene, Warlock can't hurt him, even if it mean Doug will rip out his heart, physically and metaphorically.

* Trapped in fantasy where crush loves them back
Any era! Original New Mutants, Bendis era, modern era...
Please feel free to discard alternate love interests (except for Piotr, which is an important part of Kitty and Illyana's relationship in the first place - I mean you don't have to mention him, but no AU where he doesn't exist, he just can lose the triangle)
B vanishes from existence and only pining A remembers them: This one because it happened in the Betonder era in the eighties, but of course it's comics, it can happen again.
Optional prompts:
* Illyana feels guilty about feeling jealous of her brother, but she very much is (can be when Kitty and Piotr are dating, or just after he broke up with her)
* Illyana tries not to ask anything of Kitty, and to be only supportive, but she's only bubbling her darker desires in Limbo, where they taunt her.

Any era, from the 90s to the modern arcs with Exodus back.
A doesn't think they deserve B's love because they betrayed them in the past: I like it as a reference of Exodus' treatment of depowered!Magneto in Carey's Legacy arc.
Optional prompts:
* As Exodus doesn't feel sexual attraction towards Magneto, he's totally oblivious about his romantic feelings towards him and it's hard to explain why he's so jealous of people Magneto has dated (he rationalizes it)
* Courtly love: doing things for him, doing things for mutantkind, hoping one day it will be enough.
* More classic pining kept very secret because it's a proof of weakness/immorality to not only feel admiration like he should.
Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier (both pining)

* Alliance Between Piner and Pinee is or might be temporary

Optional prompts:
* Any kind of Enemies forced to work together

* Character thinks they aren't good enough for the object of their pining
* Character's hero-worship turns to pining
* Conversations with double meanings due to pining
* Hoping Crush Will Notice Them
* Pining for a god
My favourite obscure ship! Feel free to ignore the volume 4 reveals about Elizabeth since the characters don't know it. You don't have to. Your choice! I love the religious component of their relationship, and I love having someone pining for an unattractive woman.
Blasius/Professeur Wolf (both pining)
* being asked out by the person you're pining for
* Character A pines for their former lover
* Character pines for someone who left them for "their own good"
* Conversations with double meanings due to pining
* Former lovers pine for each other
* They Both Think It's Unrequited
Can be mutual pining before they get together (I can't imagine them being good at romance, go with with the shenanigans), can be during volume 3 when they stopped seeing each other for plot reasons; I always thought they deserved to have good introspection or a good conversation about it.
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

* A pining because they correctly think B is uninterested
* Pining Due To Period-Typical Homophobia
* Pining for a ghost
Any moment in the timeline, or all of them! I love Kikuhiko being gay but having difficulties to accept it.
I love the ghost(?) of Sukeroku in second season, and the supernatural-ish element, but anything with young Sukeroku and the triangle with Miyokichi is good too. I love all the characters, you can use them, or you can totally forget them, both work very well for me.
The Singer not the Song
Anacleto Comachi/Father Michael Keogh (Anacleto pining)
* A blackmailing B to keep them close
* channelling pining into violence

* Conversations with double meanings due to pining
* Dub/noncon - dub or nonconning the object of their pining

* A pining because they correctly think B is uninterested

I watched the movie some time ago and loved it! Especially the relationship between Keogh and Anacleto. (I don't dislike Locha, but in Anacleto's mind she just a tool to manipulate and corrupt Keogh, but feel free to have her or any secondary character play a role if you want).
In addition to the antagonism, I love the sacrilegious/religious elements of this ship.
Trigun
Legato Bluesummers/Millions Knives (Legato pining)

* Character A sacrifices themself for Character B whilst pining for them
* Character B Likes The Idea of Being Pined For By Character A But Is Not Interested In Character A
* Character thinks they aren't good enough for the object of their pining

* Character A pines for Character B who pines for someone else
* Pining A thinks about B while masturbating
* Pining Character knows and accepts that their feelings will never be returned (but still pines)
* Pining for a god
* Pining to the point of worship
I love both manga and anime timelines (but I was thinking about the anime for the "sacrifices himself")
For the medical thing/injuries with lasting effects, it doesn't apply to canon ones!
Character A pines for Character B who pines for someone else: someone else being Vash, gen or ship depending on your tastes.
Optional prompts:
* Knives hates humans. He learnt that Legato will accept any physical torture from him, and that he can hurt him more efficiently just by telling him how he dislikes Legato / how he likes Vash.
* Legato would do anything to be useful to Knives, even if he knows his feelings will stay unrequited always. Knives can accept this.
* Legato things about Knives always, he is ashamed of his fantasies (you can make them sexual, you can make them romantic) but it won't stop him.

Any era! Original New Mutants, Bendis era, modern era...
Please feel free to discard alternate love interests (except for Piotr, which is an important part of Kitty and Illyana's relationship in the first place - I mean you don't have to mention him, but no AU where he doesn't exist, he just can lose the triangle)
B vanishes from existence and only pining A remembers them: This one because it happened in the Betonder era in the eighties, but of course it's comics, it can happen again.
Optional prompts:
* Illyana feels guilty about feeling jealous of her brother, but she very much is (can be when Kitty and Piotr are dating, or just after he broke up with her)

Any era, from the 90s to the modern arcs with Exodus back.
A doesn't think they deserve B's love because they betrayed them in the past: I like it as a reference of Exodus' treatment of depowered!Magneto in Carey's Legacy arc.
Optional prompts:
* As Exodus doesn't feel sexual attraction towards Magneto, he's totally oblivious about his romantic feelings towards him and it's hard to explain why he's so jealous of people Magneto has dated (he rationalizes it)
* Courtly love: doing things for him, doing things for mutantkind, hoping one day it will be enough.
* More classic pining kept very secret because it's a proof of weakness/immorality to not only feel admiration like he should.

My favourite obscure ship! Feel free to ignore the volume 4 reveals about Elizabeth since the characters don't know it. You don't have to. Your choice! I love the religious component of their relationship, and I love having someone pining for an unattractive woman.
Blasius/Professeur Wolf (both pining)
* being asked out by the person you're pining for
* Character A pines for their former lover
* Character pines for someone who left them for "their own good"
* Conversations with double meanings due to pining
* Former lovers pine for each other
* They Both Think It's Unrequited
Can be mutual pining before they get together (I can't imagine them being good at romance, go with with the shenanigans), can be during volume 3 when they stopped seeing each other for plot reasons; I always thought they deserved to have good introspection or a good conversation about it.

* Pining for a ghost
Any moment in the timeline, or all of them! I love Kikuhiko being gay but having difficulties to accept it.
I love the ghost(?) of Sukeroku in second season, and the supernatural-ish element, but anything with young Sukeroku and the triangle with Miyokichi is good too. I love all the characters, you can use them, or you can totally forget them, both work very well for me.
The Singer not the Song
Anacleto Comachi/Father Michael Keogh (Anacleto pining)
* A blackmailing B to keep them close
* channelling pining into violence

I watched the movie some time ago and loved it! Especially the relationship between Keogh and Anacleto. (I don't dislike Locha, but in Anacleto's mind she just a tool to manipulate and corrupt Keogh, but feel free to have her or any secondary character play a role if you want).
In addition to the antagonism, I love the sacrilegious/religious elements of this ship.

For the medical thing/injuries with lasting effects, it doesn't apply to canon ones!
Character A pines for Character B who pines for someone else: someone else being Vash, gen or ship depending on your tastes.

* Knives hates humans. He learnt that Legato will accept any physical torture from him, and that he can hurt him more efficiently just by telling him how he dislikes Legato / how he likes Vash.
* Legato would do anything to be useful to Knives, even if he knows his feelings will stay unrequited always. Knives can accept this.
* Legato things about Knives always, he is ashamed of his fantasies (you can make them sexual, you can make them romantic) but it won't stop him.
