It's that time again, I guess
Hello, of course, and thanks so much for writing me a thing! I like to think I'm fairly easy to please in regards to giftfic - mostly I like, and there will be copious excited flailing no matter what, so don't stress, and have stupid amounts of fun no matter what you choose.
General Likes/Dislikes
My list of likes is long, and my list of dislikes is much, MUCH shorter. I love angst, hurt/comfort, and darkfic. Don't feel like you need to hold back on the weird, disturbing shit; it takes A Lot to squick me. But don't feel like you have to go dark either; I'm equally happy reading fluff, silly stuff, slice of life or romance. (TBH all the characters I requested could stand a break from canon suffering anyway.) I'm comfortable with all ratings, G to hard Explicit and anything in between.
Ships? Well, I have them, and I feel pretty strongly about the ones I'm asking for. I would never demand that somebody write my ship though, so if you dislike or don't feel comfortable writing it, PLEASE go gen. If you're taking the gen route, I love worldbuilding, and I'm a sucker for a good character study.
Dislikes, as I said, I don't have many, and really the fandoms/characters I've asked for don't risk hitting most of them. While I'm partial to my ships, I don't condone bashing on others. And a random note on AUs: love the ones that are "what if?" scenarios, dislike the ones wherein suddenly our alien robots are human baristas or something. The context is as important to me as the characters, so please keep it.
Requests:
Ultraman Orb (Gai, Juggler, Naomi)
I adore Gai/Juggler as a ship, and have been feeling a tad let down by Orb Origin, so more of their backstory would be great, either the further unraveling of their relationship between Origin and the series proper, or even pre-Origin. What brought them together in the first place? What brought them to that mountain? Post-canon awkward reconciliation stories are also most welcome, with Naomi either facilitating (read: knocking some sense into them both) or joining in (Gai/Naomi/Juggler is an OT3 I like a lot more than I thought I would). On the gen front, I'm fascinated by Juggler's seemingly endless capacity for self-hatred and would love to hear some interpretations of why he is the way he is. Also worldbuilding/cultural exchange stuff wherein Naomi, being her endlessly curious self, badgers Gai and/or Juggler for info about what life is like outside of Earth. Or the reverse, the two of them (especially Juggler) absorbing more about Earth culture through her.
Ultraman Geed (Leito)
I kind of feel obligated to say, since I only asked for one character, use the other Geed characters as much or as little as you like? But I'm after Leito fic because body-sharing is one of my favorite tropes of all time, and I'm dying to see more fic about Leito dealing with life after Zero 'moves in'. What's it like suddenly having to share your brain with an alien? Does Leito's family notice anything amiss, and if so, what might Leito and Zero do to throw them off the scent? Zero doesn't always give a rip about getting Leito's consent to use his body when there's derring-do to be done; how bothered was Leito by that? Did they discuss it? And of course, since cultural exchange remains my jam when aliens interact with humans, what are they learning from each other? Zero is chronologically older but he's still got the mindset and maturity of a teenager, so I would love to see Leito trying haplessly to dad at him.
Kyuranger (Balance, Naga)
I OTP these two so hard, they're practically canon in my brain. It baffles me that there isn't tons more fic about them as a couple, so...that, please? How do the two of them navigate their relationship, when one's a machine, and the other comes from a race that grows their babies in test tubes and has no use for sex or romance? Naga's clearly rebelling against his society on multiple levels, but did Balance have any qualms about dating outside his species? Balance attempting to teach Naga what dating even is would be great. Hurt/comfort around the Dark Naga arc would be REALLY great. And for non-shippy stuff, the show seems to be giving Balance the shaft on backstory, so what was his world like, and why did he decide to leave it and become a star-hopping thief? What's the difference between "mechanical lifeforms" like him and robots like Champ and Raptor? And how might he see his teammates differently because of that distinction?
Well, I feel like I rambled, as per usual, but I hope it was at least a helpful ramble. Thanks again, and happy writing! <3
