Special procedure for IPHs: Because assignments have just gone out and people may want to swap their current assignment for a pinch hit, I will not mark any pinch hit claimed until approx 11:59pm EDT on 26 August. I will then give priority to people who claimed in that time and who want to swap assignments. If you are claiming a pinch hit because you want to trade it for your current assignment, please say so when claiming - otherwise, I'll assume you want both.
Minimum requirements: An art gift must be a completed comic at least 10 pages or 40 panels long; a fic gift must be a story at least 10,000 words long. You can also fulfil a pinch hit by giving two complete half-length works, if your recipient has opted into that for the fandom(s) you are creating in. Any work must be for a fandom your recipient has requested and one character/relationship/worldbuilding tag requested in that fandom, and must avoid their DNWs.
The Viridescent Crown (Manga)
Yustav de Lachia/Ran de Lachia (The Viridescent Crown), Ran de Lachia & Yustav de Lachia (The Viridescent Crown), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics at Artist's Discretion, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion
What I like about VC:
• a bit of a sweet, oblivious (on the MC’s part) first romance/love story veneer over a multilayered plot
• the plot is surprisingly complex
◦ but not out of nowhere
◦ Plot points are clearly interwoven and hinted at in general
◦ Some key plot twists exist
• there's a good scaling of power and ability
• the MC is competent and intelligent
◦ without being a Mary Sue or having it due to a cop-out (which I think is an extremely rare thing to find in isekai-trope fics)
◦ in at least one instance the limitations of her ability to apply the knowledge from the modern world is shown due to be due to her ignorance of other factors in the world itself
◦ MC is competent enough to adjust for things outside the original plot
• the MC doesn’t depend on blindly replicating things from the “real” world
• the art conveys great emotional tension and subplot
◦ the art is good in general
◦ the outfits are better than average for a webtoon/European Ambient setting
◦ Subtle/semi-realistic emotional expression over excess omnipotent narration
• the core relationship dynamic for most of the work is pretty unique for the genre
Prompts:
• I would love a Yustav POV of anything in canon! The OG work has a couple bits of Yus POV of major events, but in the manhwa adaption form we really only get subtle hints from his expression. I'm all spoilered up to the ending (and also own some of the ebooks), so any point in the story/canon is fine!
• Outside POV of Ran is another potentially really fun idea. The story is primarily from her perspective. One of the benefits of the manhwa style is that it does allow for showcasing how the MC has some cognitive disconnects from how the other characters think. Maybe the Second Prince has more thoughts ^TM. Otherwise, OC or minor character perspective of just how many gender role/societal expectations Ran is unthinkingly bowling through as a modern girl in a position of feudal power would be interesting. Maybe a Lachia resident POV on the improvements and changes during her reign.

Scholomance - Naomi Novik
Galadriel "El" Higgins & Aadhya & Chloe Rasmussen & Yi Liu (Scholomance), Galadriel "El" Higgins/Orion Lake (Scholomance), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion, Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics at Artist's Discretion
What I like about Scholomance:
• El's an unreliable narrator,
• El’s narration juxtaposition against the events of the story,
• Chloe & Liu & Aadhya are all complex people in their own right & the relationships amongst the core group are complex like an actual human friendship,
• the worldbuilding is interesting and there are hints toward big plot issues
• the moral dilemna-ism without subscribing to one particular school of ethical thought,
• a bit mission-fic-y while building towards a bigger plot
• El&Orion blasting through mals.
Prompts:
• Maybe an alternative or outside POV of one of the big "impossible" runs in the second book. To El the entire thing is old hat, but the implication is that it's basically un-doable for anyone else. I think Aadya & Chloe & Liu are especially interesting since they're on her squad so to speak and thus have to basically do every run El does. However true outside POV or other character POVs would also be interesting to me.
• I really also like the central Chloe&Liu&Aadhya&El developing friendship, so focusing on how they're being legitimate friends would be great. We have the three girls becoming friends with El over the years in three very different ways. What about one of their POVs?
• Maybe a Lisel&Alfie or Lisel/Alfie backstory? Lisel POV?
• Orion being a human disaster is amusing to me, so anything in that theme is nice. Orion's parents hearing about his dating El would also be quite funny. Orion’s parents reacting to Orion’s human disaster behavior and their continual mitigation attempts are also amusing to me.
• Alternatively, a fluffy El/Orion over-write of that cliffhanger ending would be neat too!
• Orion POV of El would also be really interesting to me, either / or & and pre or post canon.

Q.E.D. (Manga)
Mizuhara Kana/Touma Sou (Q.E.D.), Detective Mizuhara & Mizuhara Kana (Q.E.D.), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics at Artist's Discretion, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion
What I like about Q.E.D.:
• this is one of the works that bucks the stereotypes of Japanese cultural expectations for and representation of women while also being extremely true to case-fic genre,
• the case-fic gene is still interspersed with subtle relationship advancements,
• lots of interesting STEM concepts are touched upon
◦ C.M.B. which shares a universe does include more cultural anthro/natural science/occasionally supernatural/etc. things
• characterizations are very consistent and yet seem to grow organically in the background
◦ the running “gags” aren’t characterization breaking
◦ The relationship slowly grows until outside factors cause the character development to be shown
• the concept is varied and yet still interesting
◦ it’s not always a murder case every week like a lot of other detective case fic mangas do
◦ C.M.B. crossovers are for more character-driven plots than detective mega events
◦ there isn’t a “the law is harsh but the law is the law” theme that a lot of detective mangas do
◦ the manga is focused on truth, not judgement and not justice
Prompts:
• Feelings are more implicit in the manga and tangental, what are our characters feeling? Particularly, Sou has a really good poker face in the manga, anything that explores his perspective is interesting to me.
• How does Detective Mizuhara feel about his daughter's antics and risks? He's relatively supportive in general and canonically encouraged her kendo and martial arts skills (and set up practices against police officers for her). Why is that? What have they done in the background?
• Anything that explores the more humanistic side to this casefic manga would be neat! I think one of the interesting things about this series is that it doesn’t take a hardline “the law is harsh, but the law is the law” which a lot of detective works do. Sou very clearly lets off people blatantly breaking the law if it’s in his judgment that’s the right thing to do.
• Outsider POV of Sou&Kana or Sou/Kana!

When Harry Met Tom - The_Carnivorous_Muffin (Exchange Disambiguation)
Harriet Potter/Alphard Black & Tom Riddle (WHMT), Harriet Potter & Alphard Black & Tom Riddle (WHMT), Harriet Potter/Alphard Black (WHMT), Harriet Potter & Alphard Black (WHMT), Harriet Potter/Tom Riddle (WHMT), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics at Artist's Discretion, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion
What I like about WHMT:
• a romcom time travel fic with some serious meta behind it
◦ I tend to have in common/agree with TCM on HP worldbuilding HCs
◦ the wizarding world being extremely homophobic and muggleborns are constantly denied career opportunities aspects being treated in a realistic way
• light-hearted leaning slight surrealism gloss over serious issues while still including the serious issues
◦ re: homophobia, class discrimination, racism
• Harry is smarter than in canon but still recognizably Harry Potter as a character
◦ that excellent quidditch game, Slytherin vs Ravenclaw with Harry’s performance as seeker!
◦ Getting herself into the chamber of secrets with roosters…but not testing under what conditions they crow or identifying a way out
◦ A note on a mirror in muggle pen, not a charmed airplane note with a delay timer, Really Harry?
• interesting and slightly unpredictable plot,
• plenty of worldbuilding potential,
• Harry-as-unwitting-god done well,
◦ plausibly and without deux ex machina
Prompts:
• Harry wouldn't really notice, but what if there really was a magical aristocracy? I really like copying over the general structure of the British Aristocracy, with the Blacks being a ducal house, the Potters being something like a Viscount or a Baron, etc., and seeing what happens. What undercurrents are there?
• Alphard and/or Tom convince Harry the timeline they're in is really an alternative dimension and so she drags them all into her timeline. How do Alphard and/or Tom react? I love the idea of one of them or both of those two finding out about "Harry Potter, Girl-Who-Lived" and everything else she's done since she started Hogwarts. Or drag the entire Hogwarts population into the other dimension! How much chaos happens? What’s the fallout? Maybe Hermione starts debating Alphard and/or Tom on magic theory, she's been keeping notes on which "rules of magic" Harry's been breaking (i.e. the accio in the Triwizard Tournament).
• Hermione’s running list of all the time Harry violates the established rules and theoretical limits of magic.
• Tom makes Harry’s wardrobe—what does he make? Tom Riddle making an entire fashion collection as a courting gift for Harry Potter is hilarious to me.
• I really love Alphard/Harry as an AU ship. Since WHMT Tom seemed to have been aromantic in the first timeline and is head over heels for Harry in this one, I think Alphard could be mostly attracted to men but still attracted to Harry. How would Alphard/Harry play out? I would also love to see this as Alphard/Harry if they got dragged to Harry's OG timeline and Sirius' reaction.
• Outsider POV of Harry & quidditch would also be interesting to me!
• Tom trying to sabotage Alphard/Harry was hilarious, what else does he do?
• What about Alphard’s growing realization of who Tom Riddle is as a person, outside of the perfect persona Tom’s been maintaining for the last several years?
• The softest, best of all possible worlds ending where Harry drags Alphard and Tom into her future timeline. Harry saves her friends trapped in the DoM. Alphard and Tom play politics and get Sirius exonerated. Sirius ends up as guardian and de facto parent to the three of them.
• How does the Hogwarts gossip grapevine work in regards to Harry Potter (Harry Evans)’s antics? Characters from the two timelines compare notes and try to reconcile Harry Potter and Harry Evans or Harry Evans and Harry Potter.
• Harry-as-unwitting-god is just entertaining to me (and one of the “better than canon” explanations to me in general, which is why this is one of the HCs I share with TCM)
• Tom Riddle and/or Alphard Black’s attempts at courting an oblivious Harry Evans. Alternatively, Tom Riddle and/or Alphard Black’s attempts at courting the oblivious (but now very rich and very famous) Harry Potter.

What I like about RBC:
• complex twist on the HP world,
• more expansive worldbuilding that explains how small the magical population at Hogwarts is,
• the incredibly interesting log-based power scale
◦ Harry and other lord-level witches/wizards are about 100,000 times more powerful than those at the bottom of the scale and like 1,000 times more powerful than the average witch or wizard just on magic capacity,
◦ Gives a bit more depth to the social structure
◦ associated implications on the arguments for/against pretty much anything
• in-depth and detailed potions descriptions
• characters tend towards being discernably complex people with complex motivations
Prompts:
• Harry needs to take up Aldon on the marriage offer
• Alternative POVs of the Triwizard tasks (especially the dueling one!)
• Harry&Caelum, Harry/Caelum, Harry&Archie, or whatever adventures!
• Ruse reveal reactions
• Pansy dealing with sulking/tantruming!post-reveal Draco or otherwise silver trio friendship dynamics
• Draco's perspectives of garden parties
• Sirius POV of Rigel Black’s adventures (and hearing them all after the fact)
• Department of Mysteries in massive internal panic over their inability to either shaped imbue (created by Harry Potter) or produce a Dark Defense Disk (created by Lily Potter)
• Outside social perspectives of James Potter marrying a muggleborn and having half-blood children
• Regulus Black POV of Rigel Black adventures
• Societal speculation about Rigel Black/Harriet Potter engagement (pre or post-ruse reveal)
• The Granger parents over the years (and their realizations post-ruse reveal).

Likes: friendship, romance, fluff, slice of life, action, happy endings, bittersweet endings, unrequited love, travel, hurt/comfort, especially h/c in which a character is sick or injured and another takes care of them, and so on. I don't mind if things get dark or violent for the characters (and some of my requested canons deal a lot with violence and death, and references to canon character death is fine), but I prefer fics that end on a hopeful or happy note. I'm also good with crossovers between any of my requested canons. Finally, gifts are enabled and treats are welcomed.

* Io: A sweet, mysterious girl with a giant halberd! You could write something pre-canon, focusing on the years she spent searching for her missing Successor while evading the dangerous Lost. What other Attendants did she encounter? How often did she witness over Revenants succumbing to frenzy and becoming a Lost? Or, what about her growing bond with the female protagonist (and Io developing romantic feelings for her is most definitely welcomed) and relationships with the other companions? How does she deal with a Revenant's vampiric urges? Then there's the true ending, as even though she seems to sacrifice herself for her Successor, the full ending implies she's still alive, and you could show more of how she managed to create that miracle. What dangers do she and her companions encounter outside of the Red Mist?
If you want to include the Female Protagonist, don't stress about needing to be specific with the customization. Feel free to leave things vague; maybe she never fully remembers her past, giving her a similar mysterious air as Io has.

* Julie Sakuma Dmitriyevich: Julie is my favorite character here - he carries a lot of pain and grief, but he tries to stay strong for Ai and the others, and while he can be cynical, he's also fiercely protective of those he cares about, and being the oldest of Ai's group, he would likely have a different view of the world. Being the father-figure of the group, how does Julie care for the others? How does he feel about having a family again? For backstory, there's his life with his wife and daughter (and Julie was quite young when his daughter was born), or you could explore his grief after their deaths. What about some father/daughter-bonding with Ai? How much does he tell Ai about his family, or does she ask him about her parents?
For romance, I ship him with Scar as they bond over Celica together, and also Julie/Dee; he's already been married once, so would he worry about comparing Scar to his deceased wife, or would the guilt both he and Dee carry lead to them reaching out to each other for comfort?

You can't go wrong with girls with swords, and all the yuri subtext is definitely a welcomed touch. I really liked the friendship between the girls, and I also enjoy the friends-to-lovers trope. All the sword-fighting is good too - even with utsushi, fighting aradama is no easy feat, and one of the girls being injured during battle is also ripe for hurt/comfort potential.
* Etou Kanami/Yanase Mai: When Kanami finally returns from the netherworld, how does Mai react? Does she finally take that chance to confess her feelings? Does their reunion turn intimate? Or are they immediately thrust into aradama-hunting missions again? What kind of aradama do they encounter? What if one of them was seriously injured during a mission? Or, for something more mundane, if one of them simply fell ill instead? For some role reversal, maybe it's Kanami's turn to take care of Mai? Or maybe they manage to steal a few romantic moments alone together? How does Kanami get along with Mai's sisters as her girlfriend?
* Itomi Sayaka/Yanase Mai: With Mai training new Toji and Sayaka part of the new elite guard, how do they find time to be alone together? Are they able to take missions together? What if Sayaka was seriously injured during one such mission? How would Mai care for her? Or maybe Mai is injured instead? Maybe a love confession comes when they're caught up in the moment of surviving a particularly brutal battle? How does Mai help Sayaka recover from the aradama experiments? What if those experiments were still being conducted in secret? Or, for something lighter, with how reserved Sayaka is, would she initially feel awkward about Mai's sisters as her new girlfriend?

What magical adventures (and misadventures) would they have together? What kind of magic would Ai specialize in? Given that Ai and Eva are the same age, if you place Eva and her friends into Ai's setting, maybe Eva's birth is just as inexplicable as Ai's? How would Eva's magic work in that case? Or, maybe Rivelle Realm is one of few places remaining that still has natural birth and death? How would Eva react to meeting a gravekeeper like Ai and learning about the state of the world outside Rivelle?
Feel free to include other characters from both canons, such as Eva's parents or her friends from Auteri or Ai's traveling companions. If you want to include romance, I ship Ai with Dee or Alice.
Fandom-specific DNW: Conroy appearing in the fic (very brief references are fine)
* Mylne & Reisalin "Ryza" Stout: Two adorable sweetheart alchemists; basically, I just want to see Ryza acting like a big sister to Mylne. Maybe after the events of Lost Legends & and the Secret Fairy, Ryza sets out on another journey and stumbles upon Mylne's curious little forest? How would Ryza react to seeing a cat-eared girl and talking animals? What kind of questions would Mylne have about the world outside her forest? Is there some connection between the moonlings' alchemy and that of the Klint Kingdom's? Maybe Ryza takes Mylne as an apprentice and they start traveling together? What strange ruins might they stumble upon? What more do they learn about the darker side of alchemy?
Again, feel free to include other characters from both canons, such as Mylne's grandpa or Li'l Rosetta (if writing something after the events of Märchen Forest) or some of Ryza's companions. If you want to include romance, I ship Ryza with Klaudia, Empel, Serri, or Clifford.

Request: I love both these pairings, even though both of them only were together (or interacted) for like one or two episodes! I would love an exploration of either one of them.
For JD/Sandy, maybe where Sandy gravitates towards JD after Coffey keeps victim-blaming her. What if JD's absence due to "mono" ended up being something like JD and Sandy running off to Vegas and getting married? Or, what if Sandy came back in s5 after Coffey's character development and a bit of a triangle/jealousy developed? What if Sandy ended up working with victims of sexual violence in conjunction with Fay?
For Howard/Maura, I am so fascinated by this pairing. The break-up scene was so heartbreaking for so many reasons and one of them is you can see Howard still cares about her but he just can't break out of his own box (both toxic masculinity and his own far-right paradigm) long enough to accept her, even though she's pretty much exactly what he was looking for in s4 when he asked out every woman at the station. So what could happen to change that? Maybe Maura ends up in one of the hostage situations Hunter has to negotiate and he realizes he shouldn't have walked away, or he realizes he treated Maura badly in the wake of Ballantine’s breakdown? Alternatively, maybe Hunter's the one getting held hostage or in some other kind of danger and Maura saves him?

Note: For these, I would really prefer S3 Bryce, when he got into redemption mode, though with Bryce/Justin it can also run the gamut of the whole relationship. Mainly I just want to see Bryce as the 3D character as opposed to Bad Guy Bryce of s1/2.
For Bryce/Justin, there were so many things I wanted to know about their dynamic - when did Justin start basically living at Bryce's house? Did Amber ever try to come get him back? Did the Walkers ever consider adopting him like the Jensens did? Did Justin ever tell Bryce about his trauma, and if so, what was the reaction? What if Bryce had had an attack of conscience in s2 instead of 3 and had been the one to go find Justin on the street?
For Bryce/Tyler, we only got those 2 scenes and I wanted so much more. Did Bryce follow up with Tyler after Tyler told him what happened? Was that what finally made Bryce realize how horrible what he had done was? Were there any earlier plans to get back at Monty that were abandoned? If Bryce and Tyler had had a relationship, how would the rest of the cast react? How would Mr. Porter react if Tyler was the one Bryce had been describing instead of Ani and he'd figured it out?

I'm a fan of both the anime and the manga, so feel free to pull from both/either as you see fit!
What I always come back to with these characters is the scene in Sanctuary Arc where Shiryu tells the story about the rabbit that jumped into the fire to feed the hunter, and says that after this battle he's not going to let Shun fight anymore because Shun is too gentle to live a life as violent as the life of a Saint. I'd love to see them actually get a chance to talk about that! I think it's great that the two of them share the trait of performing best under pressure, with (in my opinion) the main difference being that Shiryu tends to put that pressure on himself on purpose so he can win a fight he was going to get into no matter what, whereas Shun tries everything to avoid having to fight but is absolutely terrifying when all his other options are cut off.
Even though Shiryu is the only one of the two who has a recognizable disability, I think there's an interesting case to be made that Shun's overall constitution functions similarly within the fiction—going all the way back to when Ikki insisted on taking his place on Death Queen Island, it's obvious that Shun's perceived weakness (whether physical or emotional) is a major factor in how people treat him and what they think he is or isn't capable of, and I think that's another fascinating point of similarity between them.
I'm really fond of fics that take the trauma of being basically a child soldier more seriously than canon does. Survivor's guilt, PTSD which they don't have the words for, chronic pain from old injuries that never quite healed right—I love all of that and more!

I'm also a fan of the 1986 manga and anime, so feel free to incorporate stuff from that! I also requested it, and I have more thoughts about Shun and Shiryu in that section of my signup.
Ryuho & Shiryu
I'm really interested in how their relationship evolves over the years! I would love to learn more about what Ryuho's training was like before he left for the Palaestra, and how he spends his time when he's home from school… and post-canon, how does his relationship with Shiryu change, and what stays the same? If you want to include Shunrei I'd be delighted! I don't remember exactly how it goes, but I'm pretty sure I remember there being a scene where Shiryu pretends to be hurt worse than he is so that Ryuho will push himself to the limit, and then Ryuho passes out, and Shiryu is like "hm I guess I pushed him too hard" and gives him a little talk about how it's important to know your own limits, and I just thought it was so cute (also character development for Shiryu who used to do that to himself all the damn time!).
Ryuho &/ Shun
They’re just so fucking cute and I’m here for anything from fluffy gen to gritty hurt/comfort to filthy porn (sex pollen, anyone?). I like how Shun is Ryuho’s sort-of-doctor (not in a medical kink way, but in a hurt/comfort way), and I like that Shun was always the tiny fluffy adorable one among the original cast but Ryuho is even tinier (although probably equal in fluffiness and adorableness) and so Shun gets to be the tall one and the protective one for once. The only thing I’m not interested in is a fic about why that age difference would be a terrible idea IRL; if you’re writing this as a sexual or romantic relationship rather than a gen one, I want it to be a good thing for both of them.
Here’s an incredibly weirdly specific concept that’s been rattling around in my head for a while, if you want it: something appeals to me in a genre-savvy and slightly fourth-wall-break-y sense about the fact that Shun is theoretically supposed to be in his late 30s or early 40s in Omega but he actually doesn’t look any older than he did in the original anime (when he was supposed to be, what, 13?). Sure, you can say “it’s just the art style” to a certain extent, but Seiya and Shiryu do actually look like adults in Omega to me, so… who knows! I would like to see this explored as one of those “this is actually horrifying if you take it seriously” kinds of things: the slow, creeping existential terror of realizing that your body is doing something as profoundly abnormal as not aging; the fruitless search for medical answers; maybe a resolution about why this is happening, but maybe not!

Mostly I'm interested in angst, fucked up family relationships, rebuilding slowly and painfully after tragedy, and taking the details of sect politics and war logistics more seriously than canon does. Especially for the gen requests, I love a supporting cast of OCs! There will be lots more in my letter—this fandom is the reason I had to make a letter at all for FFFX, because it's the only one where my ideas didn't fit in the optional details box, lol. Canonverse is great; sci-fi AUs are welcome, if you're so inclined!
For Lan Xichen/Jin Ling, I'm equally interested in a serious post-canon consensual relationship as I am in something set earlier in the timeline with dark!Xichen grooming Jin Ling. If you're going the latter route, I'm also partial to including Jin Guangyao, although I ran out of space to nominate the threesome tag.
Fandom-specific DNWs:
- Lan Xichen shipped (consensually) with anyone other than Jin Guangyao, Qin Su, Jin Ling, Lan Wangji, or an original character arranged marriage wife. Other characters are fine for dubcon/noncon.
- Canon-divergence AUs where Jin Guangyao and Qin Su never get married, or where they aren't related. (I like canon divergence AUs in general, but their incest marriage is important to me!)
- If Lan Xichen is grooming Jin Ling, he shouldn't get in trouble for it/have it made public within the course of the fic—it's fine to leave it open-ended about whether he's going to be found out or not, and it's fine for other characters to find out as long as they keep it to themselves, I just don't want the fic to include him getting exposed as a predator and the consequences/fallout of that.

I'm so glad that FFFX let us put a couple more nominations in during the signup period, because I finished watching this drama a couple days after the main round of noms closed and I went "oh my GOD, I need to request this". The political intrigue between the different houses alone could sustain me for months (and I love that it feels "grittier" than a lot of other dramas I've watched recently, especially in not shying away from depicting sexual violence), but my favorite thing about it is the characters. It seems to be a theme in my requests for this exchange that I'm interested in disability: I love the conversation between these two in episode 3 where they talk about their respective injuries and choices, I love Su Mengzhen's insistence on setting the terms of his own life and body and treatment all the way up to the very end, and I love that they get to work with their limitations and still be graceful.
I would need to rewatch the show to be able to write detailed prompts, and I definitely won't have time to do that before the letter-finalizing deadline, so my "prompt" is basically: I'd love to read anything about their backstories, especially about Di Feijing's relationship with Lei Chun or about Su Mengzhen's relationship with Yang Wuxie. Or, if you want to write about both of my requested characters interacting in the same fic, that would obviously be amazing too! For something more solo-character-focused, I refer you to my aforementioned love of political intrigue. I think a fic about Su Mengzhen managing his declining health over the years would also be a delight to read.

What I like about VC:
• a bit of a sweet, oblivious (on the MC’s part) first romance/love story veneer over a multilayered plot
• the plot is surprisingly complex
◦ but not out of nowhere
◦ Plot points are clearly interwoven and hinted at in general
◦ Some key plot twists exist
• there's a good scaling of power and ability
• the MC is competent and intelligent
◦ without being a Mary Sue or having it due to a cop-out (which I think is an extremely rare thing to find in isekai-trope fics)
◦ in at least one instance the limitations of her ability to apply the knowledge from the modern world is shown due to be due to her ignorance of other factors in the world itself
◦ MC is competent enough to adjust for things outside the original plot
• the MC doesn’t depend on blindly replicating things from the “real” world
• the art conveys great emotional tension and subplot
◦ the art is good in general
◦ the outfits are better than average for a webtoon/European Ambient setting
◦ Subtle/semi-realistic emotional expression over excess omnipotent narration
• the core relationship dynamic for most of the work is pretty unique for the genre
Prompts:
• I would love a Yustav POV of anything in canon! The OG work has a couple bits of Yus POV of major events, but in the manhwa adaption form we really only get subtle hints from his expression. I'm all spoilered up to the ending (and also own some of the ebooks), so any point in the story/canon is fine!
• Outside POV of Ran is another potentially really fun idea. The story is primarily from her perspective. One of the benefits of the manhwa style is that it does allow for showcasing how the MC has some cognitive disconnects from how the other characters think. Maybe the Second Prince has more thoughts ^TM. Otherwise, OC or minor character perspective of just how many gender role/societal expectations Ran is unthinkingly bowling through as a modern girl in a position of feudal power would be interesting. Maybe a Lachia resident POV on the improvements and changes during her reign.

What I like about Scholomance:
• El's an unreliable narrator,
• El’s narration juxtaposition against the events of the story,
• Chloe & Liu & Aadhya are all complex people in their own right & the relationships amongst the core group are complex like an actual human friendship,
• the worldbuilding is interesting and there are hints toward big plot issues
• the moral dilemna-ism without subscribing to one particular school of ethical thought,
• a bit mission-fic-y while building towards a bigger plot
• El&Orion blasting through mals.
Prompts:
• Maybe an alternative or outside POV of one of the big "impossible" runs in the second book. To El the entire thing is old hat, but the implication is that it's basically un-doable for anyone else. I think Aadya & Chloe & Liu are especially interesting since they're on her squad so to speak and thus have to basically do every run El does. However true outside POV or other character POVs would also be interesting to me.
• I really also like the central Chloe&Liu&Aadhya&El developing friendship, so focusing on how they're being legitimate friends would be great. We have the three girls becoming friends with El over the years in three very different ways. What about one of their POVs?
• Maybe a Lisel&Alfie or Lisel/Alfie backstory? Lisel POV?
• Orion being a human disaster is amusing to me, so anything in that theme is nice. Orion's parents hearing about his dating El would also be quite funny. Orion’s parents reacting to Orion’s human disaster behavior and their continual mitigation attempts are also amusing to me.
• Alternatively, a fluffy El/Orion over-write of that cliffhanger ending would be neat too!
• Orion POV of El would also be really interesting to me, either / or & and pre or post canon.

◦ C.M.B. which shares a universe does include more cultural anthro/natural science/occasionally supernatural/etc. things
• characterizations are very consistent and yet seem to grow organically in the background
◦ the running “gags” aren’t characterization breaking
◦ The relationship slowly grows until outside factors cause the character development to be shown
• the concept is varied and yet still interesting
◦ it’s not always a murder case every week like a lot of other detective case fic mangas do
◦ C.M.B. crossovers are for more character-driven plots than detective mega events
◦ there isn’t a “the law is harsh but the law is the law” theme that a lot of detective mangas do
◦ the manga is focused on truth, not judgement and not justice
Prompts:
• Feelings are more implicit in the manga and tangental, what are our characters feeling? Particularly, Sou has a really good poker face in the manga, anything that explores his perspective is interesting to me.
• How does Detective Mizuhara feel about his daughter's antics and risks? He's relatively supportive in general and canonically encouraged her kendo and martial arts skills (and set up practices against police officers for her). Why is that? What have they done in the background?
• Anything that explores the more humanistic side to this casefic manga would be neat! I think one of the interesting things about this series is that it doesn’t take a hardline “the law is harsh, but the law is the law” which a lot of detective works do. Sou very clearly lets off people blatantly breaking the law if it’s in his judgment that’s the right thing to do.
• Outsider POV of Sou&Kana or Sou/Kana!

When Harry Met Tom - The_Carnivorous_Muffin (Exchange Disambiguation)
Harriet Potter/Alphard Black & Tom Riddle (WHMT), Harriet Potter & Alphard Black & Tom Riddle (WHMT), Harriet Potter/Alphard Black (WHMT), Harriet Potter & Alphard Black (WHMT), Harriet Potter/Tom Riddle (WHMT), Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic, Fanart: 1 x 10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics at Artist's Discretion, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic, Fanfic: 1 x 10000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5000-Word Fics at Author's Discretion
What I like about WHMT:
• a romcom time travel fic with some serious meta behind it
◦ I tend to have in common/agree with TCM on HP worldbuilding HCs
◦ the wizarding world being extremely homophobic and muggleborns are constantly denied career opportunities aspects being treated in a realistic way
• light-hearted leaning slight surrealism gloss over serious issues while still including the serious issues
◦ re: homophobia, class discrimination, racism
• Harry is smarter than in canon but still recognizably Harry Potter as a character
◦ that excellent quidditch game, Slytherin vs Ravenclaw with Harry’s performance as seeker!
◦ Getting herself into the chamber of secrets with roosters…but not testing under what conditions they crow or identifying a way out
◦ A note on a mirror in muggle pen, not a charmed airplane note with a delay timer, Really Harry?
• interesting and slightly unpredictable plot,
• plenty of worldbuilding potential,
• Harry-as-unwitting-god done well,
◦ plausibly and without deux ex machina
Prompts:
• Harry wouldn't really notice, but what if there really was a magical aristocracy? I really like copying over the general structure of the British Aristocracy, with the Blacks being a ducal house, the Potters being something like a Viscount or a Baron, etc., and seeing what happens. What undercurrents are there?
• Alphard and/or Tom convince Harry the timeline they're in is really an alternative dimension and so she drags them all into her timeline. How do Alphard and/or Tom react? I love the idea of one of them or both of those two finding out about "Harry Potter, Girl-Who-Lived" and everything else she's done since she started Hogwarts. Or drag the entire Hogwarts population into the other dimension! How much chaos happens? What’s the fallout? Maybe Hermione starts debating Alphard and/or Tom on magic theory, she's been keeping notes on which "rules of magic" Harry's been breaking (i.e. the accio in the Triwizard Tournament).
• Hermione’s running list of all the time Harry violates the established rules and theoretical limits of magic.
• Tom makes Harry’s wardrobe—what does he make? Tom Riddle making an entire fashion collection as a courting gift for Harry Potter is hilarious to me.
• I really love Alphard/Harry as an AU ship. Since WHMT Tom seemed to have been aromantic in the first timeline and is head over heels for Harry in this one, I think Alphard could be mostly attracted to men but still attracted to Harry. How would Alphard/Harry play out? I would also love to see this as Alphard/Harry if they got dragged to Harry's OG timeline and Sirius' reaction.
• Outsider POV of Harry & quidditch would also be interesting to me!
• Tom trying to sabotage Alphard/Harry was hilarious, what else does he do?
• What about Alphard’s growing realization of who Tom Riddle is as a person, outside of the perfect persona Tom’s been maintaining for the last several years?
• The softest, best of all possible worlds ending where Harry drags Alphard and Tom into her future timeline. Harry saves her friends trapped in the DoM. Alphard and Tom play politics and get Sirius exonerated. Sirius ends up as guardian and de facto parent to the three of them.
• How does the Hogwarts gossip grapevine work in regards to Harry Potter (Harry Evans)’s antics? Characters from the two timelines compare notes and try to reconcile Harry Potter and Harry Evans or Harry Evans and Harry Potter.
• Harry-as-unwitting-god is just entertaining to me (and one of the “better than canon” explanations to me in general, which is why this is one of the HCs I share with TCM)
• Tom Riddle and/or Alphard Black’s attempts at courting an oblivious Harry Evans. Alternatively, Tom Riddle and/or Alphard Black’s attempts at courting the oblivious (but now very rich and very famous) Harry Potter.

What I like about RBC:
• complex twist on the HP world,
• more expansive worldbuilding that explains how small the magical population at Hogwarts is,
• the incredibly interesting log-based power scale
◦ Harry and other lord-level witches/wizards are about 100,000 times more powerful than those at the bottom of the scale and like 1,000 times more powerful than the average witch or wizard just on magic capacity,
◦ Gives a bit more depth to the social structure
◦ associated implications on the arguments for/against pretty much anything
• in-depth and detailed potions descriptions
• characters tend towards being discernably complex people with complex motivations
Prompts:
• Harry needs to take up Aldon on the marriage offer
• Alternative POVs of the Triwizard tasks (especially the dueling one!)
• Harry&Caelum, Harry/Caelum, Harry&Archie, or whatever adventures!
• Ruse reveal reactions
• Pansy dealing with sulking/tantruming!post-reveal Draco or otherwise silver trio friendship dynamics
• Draco's perspectives of garden parties
• Sirius POV of Rigel Black’s adventures (and hearing them all after the fact)
• Department of Mysteries in massive internal panic over their inability to either shaped imbue (created by Harry Potter) or produce a Dark Defense Disk (created by Lily Potter)
• Outside social perspectives of James Potter marrying a muggleborn and having half-blood children
• Regulus Black POV of Rigel Black adventures
• Societal speculation about Rigel Black/Harriet Potter engagement (pre or post-ruse reveal)

Likes: friendship, romance, fluff, slice of life, action, happy endings, bittersweet endings, unrequited love, travel, hurt/comfort, especially h/c in which a character is sick or injured and another takes care of them, and so on. I don't mind if things get dark or violent for the characters (and some of my requested canons deal a lot with violence and death, and references to canon character death is fine), but I prefer fics that end on a hopeful or happy note. I'm also good with crossovers between any of my requested canons. Finally, gifts are enabled and treats are welcomed.
Do Not Want: rape, dubcon and other forms of abuse, outright downer endings, non-canon character death, infidelity, character/pairing/canon-bashing, AUs/alternate universes (this includes unrequested fusions), unrequested "fix-it" fics, unrequested crossovers, daddy/mommy-kink, second-person POV, genderswap, unrequested identity-themed headcanons (e.g. gender headcanons, asexual headcanons, etc.), or unrequested pairings
* Io: A sweet, mysterious girl with a giant halberd! You could write something pre-canon, focusing on the years she spent searching for her missing Successor while evading the dangerous Lost. What other Attendants did she encounter? How often did she witness over Revenants succumbing to frenzy and becoming a Lost? Or, what about her growing bond with the female protagonist (and Io developing romantic feelings for her is most definitely welcomed) and relationships with the other companions? How does she deal with a Revenant's vampiric urges? Then there's the true ending, as even though she seems to sacrifice herself for her Successor, the full ending implies she's still alive, and you could show more of how she managed to create that miracle. What dangers do she and her companions encounter outside of the Red Mist?
If you want to include the Female Protagonist, don't stress about needing to be specific with the customization. Feel free to leave things vague; maybe she never fully remembers her past, giving her a similar mysterious air as Io has.

* Julie Sakuma Dmitriyevich: Julie is my favorite character here - he carries a lot of pain and grief, but he tries to stay strong for Ai and the others, and while he can be cynical, he's also fiercely protective of those he cares about, and being the oldest of Ai's group, he would likely have a different view of the world. Being the father-figure of the group, how does Julie care for the others? How does he feel about having a family again? For backstory, there's his life with his wife and daughter (and Julie was quite young when his daughter was born), or you could explore his grief after their deaths. What about some father/daughter-bonding with Ai? How much does he tell Ai about his family, or does she ask him about her parents?
For romance, I ship him with Scar as they bond over Celica together, and also Julie/Dee; he's already been married once, so would he worry about comparing Scar to his deceased wife, or would the guilt both he and Dee carry lead to them reaching out to each other for comfort?

You can't go wrong with girls with swords, and all the yuri subtext is definitely a welcomed touch. I really liked the friendship between the girls, and I also enjoy the friends-to-lovers trope. All the sword-fighting is good too - even with utsushi, fighting aradama is no easy feat, and one of the girls being injured during battle is also ripe for hurt/comfort potential.
* Etou Kanami/Yanase Mai: When Kanami finally returns from the netherworld, how does Mai react? Does she finally take that chance to confess her feelings? Does their reunion turn intimate? Or are they immediately thrust into aradama-hunting missions again? What kind of aradama do they encounter? What if one of them was seriously injured during a mission? Or, for something more mundane, if one of them simply fell ill instead? For some role reversal, maybe it's Kanami's turn to take care of Mai? Or maybe they manage to steal a few romantic moments alone together? How does Kanami get along with Mai's sisters as her girlfriend?
* Itomi Sayaka/Yanase Mai: With Mai training new Toji and Sayaka part of the new elite guard, how do they find time to be alone together? Are they able to take missions together? What if Sayaka was seriously injured during one such mission? How would Mai care for her? Or maybe Mai is injured instead? Maybe a love confession comes when they're caught up in the moment of surviving a particularly brutal battle? How does Mai help Sayaka recover from the aradama experiments? What if those experiments were still being conducted in secret? Or, for something lighter, with how reserved Sayaka is, would she initially feel awkward about Mai's sisters as her new girlfriend?

* Ai Astin & Evalithimus "Eva" Evergreen: A young gravekeeper and a witch in training - I think these two would make great friends. If you put Ai and her friends into Eva's setting, then maybe Ai too is a trainee witch looking to obtain the rank of Novice Witch, and her path crosses with Eva's? What magical adventures (and misadventures) would they have together? What kind of magic would Ai specialize in? Given that Ai and Eva are the same age, if you place Eva and her friends into Ai's setting, maybe Eva's birth is just as inexplicable as Ai's? How would Eva's magic work in that case? Or, maybe Rivelle Realm is one of few places remaining that still has natural birth and death? How would Eva react to meeting a gravekeeper like Ai and learning about the state of the world outside Rivelle?
Feel free to include other characters from both canons, such as Eva's parents or her friends from Auteri or Ai's traveling companions. If you want to include romance, I ship Ai with Dee or Alice.
Fandom-specific DNW: Conroy appearing in the fic (very brief references are fine)
* Mylne & Reisalin "Ryza" Stout: Two adorable sweetheart alchemists; basically, I just want to see Ryza acting like a big sister to Mylne. Maybe after the events of Lost Legends & and the Secret Fairy, Ryza sets out on another journey and stumbles upon Mylne's curious little forest? How would Ryza react to seeing a cat-eared girl and talking animals? What kind of questions would Mylne have about the world outside her forest? Is there some connection between the moonlings' alchemy and that of the Klint Kingdom's? Maybe Ryza takes Mylne as an apprentice and they start traveling together? What strange ruins might they stumble upon? What more do they learn about the darker side of alchemy?
Again, feel free to include other characters from both canons, such as Mylne's grandpa or Li'l Rosetta (if writing something after the events of Märchen Forest) or some of Ryza's companions. If you want to include romance, I ship Ryza with Klaudia, Empel, Serri, or Clifford.

Request: I love both these pairings, even though both of them only were together (or interacted) for like one or two episodes! I would love an exploration of either one of them.
For JD/Sandy, maybe where Sandy gravitates towards JD after Coffey keeps victim-blaming her. What if JD's absence due to "mono" ended up being something like JD and Sandy running off to Vegas and getting married? Or, what if Sandy came back in s5 after Coffey's character development and a bit of a triangle/jealousy developed? What if Sandy ended up working with victims of sexual violence in conjunction with Fay?
For Howard/Maura, I am so fascinated by this pairing. The break-up scene was so heartbreaking for so many reasons and one of them is you can see Howard still cares about her but he just can't break out of his own box (both toxic masculinity and his own far-right paradigm) long enough to accept her, even though she's pretty much exactly what he was looking for in s4 when he asked out every woman at the station. So what could happen to change that? Maybe Maura ends up in one of the hostage situations Hunter has to negotiate and he realizes he shouldn't have walked away, or he realizes he treated Maura badly in the wake of Ballantine’s breakdown? Alternatively, maybe Hunter's the one getting held hostage or in some other kind of danger and Maura saves him?

Likes: Fluff, BDSM, angst, fluffy animals, humor, darkfic, pregnancy, cute babies, cute baby animals, angst, chibis (for art)
Dislikes/DNWs: animal death, ants, child abuse, abortion, eye trauma, situations where disabled people are in danger to get their loved ones to do something, destruction of a person's things
Note: For these, I would really prefer S3 Bryce, when he got into redemption mode, though with Bryce/Justin it can also run the gamut of the whole relationship. Mainly I just want to see Bryce as the 3D character as opposed to Bad Guy Bryce of s1/2.
For Bryce/Justin, there were so many things I wanted to know about their dynamic - when did Justin start basically living at Bryce's house? Did Amber ever try to come get him back? Did the Walkers ever consider adopting him like the Jensens did? Did Justin ever tell Bryce about his trauma, and if so, what was the reaction? What if Bryce had had an attack of conscience in s2 instead of 3 and had been the one to go find Justin on the street?
For Bryce/Tyler, we only got those 2 scenes and I wanted so much more. Did Bryce follow up with Tyler after Tyler told him what happened? Was that what finally made Bryce realize how horrible what he had done was? Were there any earlier plans to get back at Monty that were abandoned? If Bryce and Tyler had had a relationship, how would the rest of the cast react? How would Mr. Porter react if Tyler was the one Bryce had been describing instead of Ani and he'd figured it out?

I'm a fan of both the anime and the manga, so feel free to pull from both/either as you see fit!
What I always come back to with these characters is the scene in Sanctuary Arc where Shiryu tells the story about the rabbit that jumped into the fire to feed the hunter, and says that after this battle he's not going to let Shun fight anymore because Shun is too gentle to live a life as violent as the life of a Saint. I'd love to see them actually get a chance to talk about that! I think it's great that the two of them share the trait of performing best under pressure, with (in my opinion) the main difference being that Shiryu tends to put that pressure on himself on purpose so he can win a fight he was going to get into no matter what, whereas Shun tries everything to avoid having to fight but is absolutely terrifying when all his other options are cut off.
Even though Shiryu is the only one of the two who has a recognizable disability, I think there's an interesting case to be made that Shun's overall constitution functions similarly within the fiction—going all the way back to when Ikki insisted on taking his place on Death Queen Island, it's obvious that Shun's perceived weakness (whether physical or emotional) is a major factor in how people treat him and what they think he is or isn't capable of, and I think that's another fascinating point of similarity between them.
I'm really fond of fics that take the trauma of being basically a child soldier more seriously than canon does. Survivor's guilt, PTSD which they don't have the words for, chronic pain from old injuries that never quite healed right—I love all of that and more!

I'm also a fan of the 1986 manga and anime, so feel free to incorporate stuff from that! I also requested it, and I have more thoughts about Shun and Shiryu in that section of my signup.
Ryuho & Shiryu
I'm really interested in how their relationship evolves over the years! I would love to learn more about what Ryuho's training was like before he left for the Palaestra, and how he spends his time when he's home from school… and post-canon, how does his relationship with Shiryu change, and what stays the same? If you want to include Shunrei I'd be delighted! I don't remember exactly how it goes, but I'm pretty sure I remember there being a scene where Shiryu pretends to be hurt worse than he is so that Ryuho will push himself to the limit, and then Ryuho passes out, and Shiryu is like "hm I guess I pushed him too hard" and gives him a little talk about how it's important to know your own limits, and I just thought it was so cute (also character development for Shiryu who used to do that to himself all the damn time!).
Ryuho &/ Shun
They’re just so fucking cute and I’m here for anything from fluffy gen to gritty hurt/comfort to filthy porn (sex pollen, anyone?). I like how Shun is Ryuho’s sort-of-doctor (not in a medical kink way, but in a hurt/comfort way), and I like that Shun was always the tiny fluffy adorable one among the original cast but Ryuho is even tinier (although probably equal in fluffiness and adorableness) and so Shun gets to be the tall one and the protective one for once. The only thing I’m not interested in is a fic about why that age difference would be a terrible idea IRL; if you’re writing this as a sexual or romantic relationship rather than a gen one, I want it to be a good thing for both of them.
Here’s an incredibly weirdly specific concept that’s been rattling around in my head for a while, if you want it: something appeals to me in a genre-savvy and slightly fourth-wall-break-y sense about the fact that Shun is theoretically supposed to be in his late 30s or early 40s in Omega but he actually doesn’t look any older than he did in the original anime (when he was supposed to be, what, 13?). Sure, you can say “it’s just the art style” to a certain extent, but Seiya and Shiryu do actually look like adults in Omega to me, so… who knows! I would like to see this explored as one of those “this is actually horrifying if you take it seriously” kinds of things: the slow, creeping existential terror of realizing that your body is doing something as profoundly abnormal as not aging; the fruitless search for medical answers; maybe a resolution about why this is happening, but maybe not!

Mostly I'm interested in angst, fucked up family relationships, rebuilding slowly and painfully after tragedy, and taking the details of sect politics and war logistics more seriously than canon does. Especially for the gen requests, I love a supporting cast of OCs! There will be lots more in my letter—this fandom is the reason I had to make a letter at all for FFFX, because it's the only one where my ideas didn't fit in the optional details box, lol. Canonverse is great; sci-fi AUs are welcome, if you're so inclined!
For Lan Xichen/Jin Ling, I'm equally interested in a serious post-canon consensual relationship as I am in something set earlier in the timeline with dark!Xichen grooming Jin Ling. If you're going the latter route, I'm also partial to including Jin Guangyao, although I ran out of space to nominate the threesome tag.
Fandom-specific DNWs:
- Lan Xichen shipped (consensually) with anyone other than Jin Guangyao, Qin Su, Jin Ling, Lan Wangji, or an original character arranged marriage wife. Other characters are fine for dubcon/noncon.
- Canon-divergence AUs where Jin Guangyao and Qin Su never get married, or where they aren't related. (I like canon divergence AUs in general, but their incest marriage is important to me!)
- If Lan Xichen is grooming Jin Ling, he shouldn't get in trouble for it/have it made public within the course of the fic—it's fine to leave it open-ended about whether he's going to be found out or not, and it's fine for other characters to find out as long as they keep it to themselves, I just don't want the fic to include him getting exposed as a predator and the consequences/fallout of that.

I'm so glad that FFFX let us put a couple more nominations in during the signup period, because I finished watching this drama a couple days after the main round of noms closed and I went "oh my GOD, I need to request this". The political intrigue between the different houses alone could sustain me for months (and I love that it feels "grittier" than a lot of other dramas I've watched recently, especially in not shying away from depicting sexual violence), but my favorite thing about it is the characters. It seems to be a theme in my requests for this exchange that I'm interested in disability: I love the conversation between these two in episode 3 where they talk about their respective injuries and choices, I love Su Mengzhen's insistence on setting the terms of his own life and body and treatment all the way up to the very end, and I love that they get to work with their limitations and still be graceful.
I would need to rewatch the show to be able to write detailed prompts, and I definitely won't have time to do that before the letter-finalizing deadline, so my "prompt" is basically: I'd love to read anything about their backstories, especially about Di Feijing's relationship with Lei Chun or about Su Mengzhen's relationship with Yang Wuxie. Or, if you want to write about both of my requested characters interacting in the same fic, that would obviously be amazing too! For something more solo-character-focused, I refer you to my aforementioned love of political intrigue. I think a fic about Su Mengzhen managing his declining health over the years would also be a delight to read.
