Press Start 2018
Hi! I have been crazy busy lately, so I haven't really been on top of the letter thing, sorry. This is going to be brief but if you're feeling particularly at sea you can check out my previous letters for more about my interests.
General likes: established romantic relationships, bittersweetness, hurt/comfort, canon-divergence AUs, non-mundane genre AUs, crossdressing, loyalty and lady/knight sort of dynamics, characters protecting each other/saving each other's lives, action/casefic/etc. A-plot with romance B-plot, smut featuring characters over 16
General dislikes: non-canon pregnancy or kidfic, fic heavily focused on children/parenting, issuefic, non-canon character death, noncon, mundane AUs, crossovers, vore or guro (as kinks), non-requested non-canon ships, non-requested canon ships as a major focus of the fic, smut featuring characters under 16
Fire Emblem Heroes
Fjorm/Laegjarn: I'm a sucker for those "we're on opposite sides of a conflict, but if only we'd met under other circumstances..." ships, and I'd love to see more moments between these two, on the battlefield or with one of them captive or under whatever circumstances you can come up with. Make it tragic, have Laegjarn defect to the side of good in grand Fire Emblem tradition, or just leave it as a series of tense stolen moments with no definitive resolution--I'm happy with any of those.
Lyn: Lyn is one of my FE faves, but boy, there sure are a lot of her in Heroes. What is it like being around a bunch of different versions of yourself? Are they all pretty much the same person with the same experiences, or are there differences in their timelines (different people dying/surviving, being recruited or not being recruited, having done certain sidequests or not--or bigger differences than FE playthroughs can actually have)? You can make this as serious or as humorous as you want.
Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword
Farina & Fiora & Florina: With the way supports work, we see them interacting in various two-person combos but not really much of all three together. How do the three of them play off each other in a group, when fighting a battle together or at the camp in their downtime or post-canon if Florina (and Farina, if she doesn't go home with Fiora as in their A support) visits home?
Farina/Karla: I really enjoy the way their personalities bounce off each other in their supports and would love to see them off being mercenaries together, while Farina continues to try to convince Karla that she doesn't need men, ifyouknowwhatimean.
Florina/Lyn: Love the lady/knight loyalty kink dynamic, love the added twist that Lyn is also a fighter and fairly protective of Florina herself. Post-paired ending would be great, but added moments during the game are also cool.
Florina/Ninian: They're both so awkward, but in a way that seems to make them more compatible, which is super cute. Though while some supports when you get to A-rank it's like "okay they're practically married now," it feels like Florina and Ninian just barely get to the point of firmly considering each other friends, so I'd love to see that expanded upon.
Nino: Nino is precious and I particularly want post-canon fic here, of Nino making her way in the world without her mother's influence, learning stuff, doing things she never got to do before.
Nino/Rebecca: Their supports are super cute and I really just want more of that, except more explicitly romantic. Though, considering they're fighting a war, it doesn't have to be unremitting fluff. Nothing past kissing unless you age them up, please.
Persona 5
Niijima Makoto/Okumura Haru: I was sold on this as soon as Haru said that Makoto looked good in her biker outfit, honestly. During-canon fic is great, and I'd also be interested in near-future fic--what happens when they go to university? How do they support each other in dealing with their respective legacies and ambitions?
Niijima Makoto/Takamaki Ann: This is another ship where I enjoy the interplay between someone who's kind of an uptight nerd who's bad with people and someone who's more outgoing and spontaneous--I'd love to see Ann getting Makoto to try things she wouldn't normally do. I also feel like this is potentially a good ship for the kind of mutual pining where each assumes the other is out of their league (Ann is a model! She's beautiful and vivacious and so many people must want to date her! vs. Makoto is the class president! She's so smart and responsible and everybody looks up to her! That kind of thing.)
Niijima Makoto/Togo Hifumi: I know agreeing to go with Makoto to Jinbocho isn't playing optimally, but it was worth it to see these two nerd out at each other, and it seems likely they'd want to keep in contact after that. Maybe Hifumi also offers to teach Makoto how to play? I'd love to see them sort of stumble their way through dating together--I feel like they've both been too wrapped up in other preoccupations to think about it much before.
Niijima Sae/Takemi Tae: I'd love to see these two interact, in whatever context--my go-to for engineering meetings involving at least one investigator-type character is for them to run into the other character in some capacity during an investigation, but hey, maybe Sae happens to get injured while in Yongen-Jaya and winds up at Tae's clinic because it's the only one around, or maybe they just run into each other socially somewhere. I feel like they're the type who have a decent amount in common but would superficially rub each other the wrong way at first, which I always find fun. (Also, considering Shadow Sae, does Sae secretly wish she could get away with dressing the way Tae does? Just a thought.)
Suzui Shiho/Takamaki Ann: So much of Ann's social link is about how much she loves Shiho, and I really enjoyed the glimpses of their relationship that we got through that, from the touching moments about how much Ann admires Shiho to the fact that they became friends because Shiho insulted Ann's painting and Ann thought it was hilarious (an A+ meet-cute in my book). I'm mostly interested in fic set after Shiho gets out of the hospital--not necessarily very long after, though if you want to explore what happens with their relationship when they're in college or after, that's good too.
The Sexy Brutale
Willow Blue: I was so intrigued by her and wanted more of her backstory than the snippet available in her invitation. While the conclusion of the game implies none of the supernatural stuff is real, I would definitely be into something where she really can talk to ghosts, although if you want to try to explore who she really is if all the supernatural stuff is fake that could also be interesting!
Willow/Tequila: Willow was so protective of Tequila, who seemed pretty concerned about her in turn, and I also enjoy that sort of personality-contrast ship. Pre-canon or AU or set in the mansion is all cool by me. Break my heart if you want to, but I also don't object to fix-its.
