Dear Press Start Creator,

I'm greygerbil on AO3, thank you for writing or drawing for me! Right from the start, I want to say you don’t have to do anything with my prompts, they’re just here in case you want some ideas. If it has my pairing and avoids my DNWs, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it! All ratings are great. I included a list of my general likes and smut likes which apply to all my requests. When it comes to kinks, you can include anything not listed under my DNWs.

Feel free to entirely erase the existence of canon relationships or break them up if they get in the way of the pairings I requested, whichever works best with what you’re trying to do.

Fic where the couple is not yet together but clearly in love, or on the road to getting together, or having their first time kissing/in bed together are great. However, so are established relationship fics. Whatever suits your ideas!

Some prompts may read like ideas for longer fics, but if you’re interested in them, please just grab a scene with the general idea out of the middle of those hypothetical longfics and write me that! I love fic of all length and don’t want anyone to feel like they have to go above the minimum word count. I just get excited writing prompts sometimes.

Considering the number of canons I have where you slaughter your way through untold heaps of NPCs, I should also point out I generally have no problem with gore, blood, and graphic violence.

DNWs and Likes

DNWs

• permanent death of requested characters (they can die temporarily and come back to life, though; if a character canonically dies and is not part of the pairing you’re creating for but just requested in a different pairing, they can also die; MDSZ/Untamed characters can also stick around as fully conscious fierce corpses or fully conscious spirits)


• requested characters cheating on anybody


• unrequested open relationships or poly for requested pairings (threesomes/moresomes can start out as open relationships between two or several of the characters, or have two characters simultaneously fall for a third/others, or have unclear FWB-who-are-pining lines, but I'd like them to eventually become closed triads/groups and for no one to deliberately cheat on someone else while it’s clear that the rules of their relationship don’t allow being with others)


• unrequested noncon including sexual assault attempts (mentioning/discussing/describing canonical instances of SA & noncon is fine, as is mentioning noncon that doesn’t happen to or between the requested characters; and of course, if I request a tag including SA or noncon or have a prompt that includes it, it is totally fine to include as well!)


• completely unhappy endings (vaguely hopeful or bittersweet is fine, just not full dark)


• smut involving underage characters (under 18) (it can be referenced as backstory if the character is 15 or older at the time, like as something they did when they were younger, but I wouldn’t want any explicit scenes with underage characters)


• unrequested non-canonical incest (for requested characters, not a problem for background characters)


• ageplay, diaper play, daddy or mommy kink


• raceplay


• scat, emetophilia


• necrophilia (MDSZ/Untamed’s fierce corpses with full human-level consciousness wouldn’t count as this for me, neither would fully conscious spirits)


• cannibalism, debilitating mutilation of requested characters for sexual pleasure, vore


• crackfic (humour is great, but I don’t enjoy complete randomness)


• high school/college AUs (other modern AUs as well as all other sorts of AUs are fine; modern or Modern AU characters just going to school or college as part of their life at some point is also no problem; basically, I just don't want it to be the main setting)


• 1st and 2nd person POV (they are fine for epistolary fic and mock articles/social media entries/documents/research papers, though)

Likes

• UST (and also eventual resolving of UST)

• Kemononimi AUs (I don’t even need an explanation, though having one could be fun, but feel free to just give somebody animal ears and a tail)


• Wing AUs


• Modern AUs


• I also enjoy A/B/O AUs and gave some ideas who I’d like to take which role in the header under every pairing. Male omegas can have the male cis gender set of genitalia or have a vagina in addition, either is fine for me! Alphas can have knots or not, whichever you like. For mpreg childbirth, A/B/O or otherwise, feel free to give them new genitalia to manage it or just have an anal birth or a Caesarian. Male lactation is also fine to include.

Art Likes

Generally, I enjoy a wide variety of different art styles, from realistic paintings to manga to western comics to 3D/render and pixel art and everything in between, so please feel free to go with whatever you enjoy. I like black-and-white lineart just as much as elaborately shaded coal or pencil drawings and, of course, colours of every sort, traditional and digital alike. I’d very much like to see my requested pairings in your style, but if you have a specific stylistic idea, that’s always super fun, too.

Literally any motive that indicates the picture is shippy would always be appreciated, from hand-holding to explicit porn. I’m also always here for pictures of battle couples in action, if you enjoy fight scenes, or the characters doing simple, everyday things together and enjoying themselves. I also have pairing-specific art prompts under the entry for each pairing.

Cyberpunk 2077 (Video Game)

Male V/Delamain
Okay, so a taxi service is certainly kind of a new one for me as far as characters I love go, but Delamain and his relationship with V are great. I really like his perspective on humanity and how he purposefully sought out a job where he has a lot of contact with humans and their chaos because he enjoys adapting to it, and also that he seems to have a concept of beauty and some philosophical thoughts on humanity. V also seemed quite impressed with Delamain and considering how many bad things happen around and to V, Delamain seemed like a bright spot in Night City.

From non-lethal to highly dangerous, I’m happy for any interpretation of V that’s not on the road to becoming full cyberpsycho, with any look and origin you prefer. I’m not into major character death, so if you’re setting it post-ending, it’d be great if Mr. Blue Eyes could find a way to keep V alive, or if V found a different way to cheat the 6 month time limit (this doesn’t have to be part of the story, you can just handwave it). As for Delamain, I’m happy with him being Delamain V.2 (Reset), Delamain Jr. (Merge), Excelsior (Destroy), or for V to find a way to keep Delamain V.1 intact while also releasing his other personalities, in case you’re setting it after Don’t Lose Your Mind.

I prefer Delamain to bottom, but considering his state, those roles might not even be applicable considering he doesn’t have a human body. He can get an android one, though! Or not, both is fine! The only thing I’m not really interested in is objectophilia/sex involving the cars too directly (sitting in the car to jerk off to be close to Delamain, or playfully touching or patting the cars outside of sex would be perfectly fine, though). If you wanna do A/B/O and V is an alpha or a beta who is into omegas, maybe Delamain adjusts his mechanical body accordingly to be closer to that of an omega.

• V moves heaven and earth and spends significant money and/or effort and/or resources to quickly cobble together a solution where he can preserve the original Delamain while also releasing his other personalities. Delamain is thankful, but not sure why V went through such trouble to keep him. V eventually has to admit it’s because he’s in love with Delamain.


• A V who is already flirting/FWB with Delamain (but secretly pining for more) resets the Core, but did not expect Delamain’s backup to set him back so far. He’s depressed until Delamain sends him on a mission to retrieve some data his previous version apparently considered very important. Turns out Delamain’s last act was to make a backup of all memories regarding interactions between the two of them because it was so important to him, and now Delamain can make that re-merge within himself.


• V goes for the Nomad ending and takes Excelsior or Delamain Jr. (or basically any Delamain who can be contained within one car) with him. Delamain growing into a Nomad setting with the Aldecaldos would be really fun. I’d also love the two of them just bailing from Night City and setting off on their own adventure, too.


• V lets Johnny have the body, joins Alt, and goes to find Delamain in cyberspace. Delamain helps him to become a stable presence and retain his personality.


• For the Night City Legend ending, one of the speculations is that Mr. Blue Eyes is an AI. Maybe Delamain can cajole him or steal the secret he has that might allow V to continue living, even if Mr. Blue Eyes doesn’t end up holding up his end of the bargain. Alternatively, Delamain hits up his own AI contacts and finds his own solution. Is that when V realises Delamain likes him a lot? Or are they already together?


• Maybe V tends to be closed off from others after losing Jackie, but once he gets his Delamain taxi after Don’t Lose Your Mind, he gets in the habit of talking to Delamain and starts to build a relationship.


• However, I also kind of like the opposite idea, where he’s more social and starts to introduce Delamain to Viktor and Misty and Judy and/or whoever else he’s friends with in that playthrough and Delamain learns, through V, to have friends, too. How do their friends react to V’s and Delamain’s relationship if/when they find out?


• For that matter, what does Johnny think about V falling in love with a whole-ass taxi service?


• I want V to cause devastation to his enemies with the Delamain combat function at least once more. I was so sad the taxi you get doesn’t have them anymore! Maybe a scene of that?


• The Night City Legend ending seems to indicate that the split-off Delamain goes back to running his taxi service (you do get in a Delamain AV), which makes sense, since he seemed to enjoy it. However, I’d also love to see V help Delamain explore other parts of humanity, maybe a hobby? Maybe Delamain, being into beauty, could like art? Or maybe Delamain only plays taxi for V alone at this point and has a whole different occupation?


• I also think V wouldn’t necessarily have to drive his Delamain by himself (I mean... it’s a taxi! And Excelsior will eventually figure out how to drive, too, I’m sure). The two of them having a slow cruise through the city and V enjoying the sights while chatting with Delamain on autopilot would be great.


• I’m not really into objectophilia, so I’d prefer if V wasn’t sexually attracted to the cars/having exhaust pipe sex or anything, but I could see the cars or building being part of their sex life? Maybe V likes to jerk off sitting in the Delamain car(s) (or in the AV) or inside the HQ/core room just because he feels closer to Delamain that way. Maybe Delamain helps along with dirty talk, too?


• Maybe Delamain can experience sexual pleasure, but it’s a bit different than with humans. Luckily, V happens to be a techie, gets himself a good cyberdeck and figures out exactly how to press Delamain’s buttons. I could also see V meeting Delamain in cyberspace and the two of them having weird but very fun code-sex there.


• So V has been through hell and back and yeah, he’d like to have sex, but he’s really just happy that someone in this weird city earnestly loves him, even if it’s an AI, and if sex is not in the cards, whatever. Then Delamain gets an android body to surprise him. The body could have a biologically male configuration or also have a vagina or be able to switch if Delamain guesses V might be into that. I’d love it if the body looked a bit like Delamain’s visual representation, too.


• As with the prompt above, Delamain gets an android body. Maybe before this, Delamain had no way to experience sexual pleasure, but this body has functionality that mimics this, and it’s quite overwhelming at first. V loves to experiment with it and show him all the fun things organics can do.


• Delamain plans to get an android body and since it’s mostly just for interacting with V and Delamain has no strong opinions on it, he involves V in the planning of what it’s supposed to look like/which genitalia he’d prefer etc. V finds this kind of weird at first, but also kind of sweet.


• For Art: Any of the above prompts would be great, of course. I’d also really like a picture of V just hanging around in the HQ or Core or in a Delamain cab, relaxing for once. V sitting on the hood of a Delamain car or leaning on its roof would be nice picture. I’d also love V talking to Delamain on a screen. If you want to go with an android body, V and Delamain, but this time with more than just head and shoulders, would be great to see together. I’d also love to see Delamain’s tarot – whatever tarot card you think would match him – together with V’s Fool, or alternatively with one of the tarot cards that represent V’s endings, or just generally tarot motives in a picture of them.

(I also have a letter dealing with smut, one with iddy tropes, one for heat fic, sex pollen and A/B/O, and one with an epistolary fic focus for this couple, in case you're looking for more prompts.)


Sandayu Oda/Goro Takemura
Takemura was one of my favourite side characters in this game and we didn’t see much of Oda, but I really enjoyed what we got. Though the dignified middle-aged bodyguard in the pretty suit and the cyberninja with the 2004 jrock hairdo and combat gear are quite the stark contrast, their attitudes are plainly very similar. Their backstory is great, too – that at some point Takemura started being a mentor to Oda, probably when it became clear he was destined for a higher position at Arasaka, and that their relationship then developed into a friendship that lasted for a quite a while before the beginning of the game. The push and pull of that friendship against the intense sense of duty these two have was great to watch. Since I don’t like major character death, I’d like both Takemura and Oda to survive (actually possible!). I’d also prefer if Oda were at least 20 when they first start to get to know each other. I prefer bottom Takemura for smut. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Takemura. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Takemura and alpha or beta Oda.

• I would love for Takemura to visit Oda when Oda is recovering from the boss fight. Takemura is probably pretty beat up himself from the ambush on the hotel. Maybe Hanako keeps them stashed away together to keep both their survival secret from her brother? It would be interesting if after this dramatic time they lived through, the two discover their shared romantic feelings. However, I’m also totally here for established relationship – I think things could pretty much have gone down the exact same way even if they were lovers, since they’re both so dutiful.


• The two of them sparring would be great! It’s said that everything Oda knows he learned from Takemura. I just gotta know: can Takemura go cyberninja, too, and has just opted for a different fighting style? Whether he does or whether he has learned to take on Oda through other means, I’m here for it. I'd also love to see them practice sword-fighting if you want to go for something with weapons. Which one wins? Is there maybe a private wager, a “prize” to claim?


• Takemura and Oda both seem like guys who take their jobs seriously and are pretty much married to them, so how does their friendship tilt into romance? Waiting outside a meeting between Hanako and Saburo? Sharing a hotel room between Hanako’s and Saburo’s rooms because it’s just the best place for them to guard both of them? Double missions? Training session? Just on small breaks enjoying good food? All of it somehow cumulating?


• I imagine Takemura and Oda would feel they’d eventually have to reveal a steady relationship to their bosses (could be a security risk, after all!). What do they think? Or maybe someone else saw something and they’re being asked to explain themselves, forcing them to put words on it for the first time?


• I always love FWB to lovers with lots of pining in the middle, so that would also be great.


• Generally, I’d love to see prequel stuff, from when Takemura was still somewhat more Oda’s mentor to when they were friends on equal footing and probably felt like the only people who could really understand each other due to their similar positions.


• The two of them fighting together! Maybe Militech or another rival company is hitting Arasaka and they have to get their charges out of there in one piece, or launch a counter-attack.


• For established relationship, I’d love to see little details: how a rare lazy morning goes, if they have quirks the other rolls their eyes at (maybe Oda enjoys the substandard food that Takemura hates?), moments of gentleness when one gets hurt, etc.


• Takemura talks about cooking in the game once, so apparently that's a skill he has? I'd love to see him cook for Oda.


• In one of the endings where Arasaka struggles, maybe Takemura and Oda are fucked over somehow, as corpos are wont to do, and have to flee to survive. Old dog Takemura might feel like his life is really over now, but Oda could have enough enthusiasm (or spite) left to continue. Oda learning to fight without his Arasaka implants, the two of them joining the nomads as Takemura says he might have liked to do, and/or them generally starting a new life together would be awesome.


• As above, but it's only one of them about to be taken out. However, unlike the situation in the game, it is massively clear that the person is being targeted for company politics reasons and they realise that Arasaka is nowhere near as loyal to them as they are to it. The one who wasn't targeted then decides (possible after much angst and deliberation) that they will be loyal to the other instead of Arasaka and they escape together (would also work well with established relationship).


• Smut would always be great. Are any of those fancy Arasaka implants put to good (if potentially unintended) use? Do they have some uninterrupted alone time or is it a quickie between obligations?


• I love younger Dom/older sub, so if you’re in the mood to write BDSM, that would be great. I could imagine that maybe Takemura hasn’t trusted anyone to Dom him, at least not in a long while, since he can’t chance being incapacitated – but for Oda he makes an exception. Or maybe Oda is the one who brings it up and Takemura makes the decision that he’s going to try it because it’s Oda and then he actually finds he enjoys subbing.


• Related to the BDSM prompt, experienced sub/inexperienced but enthusiastic Dom is also always great. They did say Takemura taught Oda everything he knows... so whether it’s them just starting out or Oda eventually ‘surpassing the master’ and finding something to surprise Takemura with, either would be great.


• For Art: Any of the above prompts would be awesome, of course. As I said in my little intro, I just really like their visual contrast, so I’d love any and all shippy pics with them. Alternatively, a picture where they're both in suits, like the first time we see Oda, would also be great. Oda “pinning” Takemura with his mantis blades during a sparring session (not literally, but maybe ramming it in the ground/wall next to his head), or Takemura kicking his feet out under him or getting one over on him (despite the mantis blades) would be fun. I’d also like to see them undressed, for smutty purposes or just showering together/in bed because I’d really like to see the modifications on the rest of their bodies – they looks pretty heavy from the neck up. Also, even though they’re such hardened soldiers, I’d love to see a picture that’s just them doing couple things: having fancy food together, kissing, hugging, and so on. If you like to have fun with styles, I do love the tarot cards, so I'd also like to see what tarot cards Takemura and Oda might match and maybe a picture of those cards or the characters on those cards together? I'd also generally enjoy tarot motives in a picture of them.

(I also have a letter dealing with smut, one for iddy tropes, one for mpreg tropes and kidfic, one for heat fic, sex pollen and A/B/O, one for epistolary fic, and one with a hurt/comfort focus for this couple, in case you're looking for more prompts.)

Dragon Age (Video Games)

Dorian Pavus/Felix Alexius
Dorian says it’s an odd question when you ask him if he was involved with Felix, but I don’t think it is at all. They seemed fond of each other and Dorian obviously had nothing but the highest regard for him. Besides, Felix did say he liked trouble! For smut, I prefer bottom Felix. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Felix.

Since I’m not into character death, I’d prefer if the fic wasn’t all about the tragedy of Felix’s looming demise or about said death. It could be set before he was infected or in a Felix Lives AU. Oh, and if you do decide to save him somehow, feel free to include all the angst about his (soon to be averted) death. I just don’t like it if the death actually follows. As for Dorian’s relationships with Iron Bull or The Inquisitor, should you choose to set the fic during/past DA:I, it’d be great if they were very clearly broken up by the time he gets to Felix, or he didn’t romance either of them. It would also be nice if Dorian isn’t in love with either of these dudes anymore (though him still being bitter or disillusioned about love if it ended badly, as well as Felix believing that Dorian is still in love or that he couldn’t give Dorian what he got from his former lovers, are totally fine).

• Felix survives is pretty much a background AU for most of these prompts, but totally also a prompt in itself. Whether Felix actually gets rescued on purpose (someone finds a cure) or it’s a magical accident or he’s made a Grey Warden… just let him live! And make out with Dorian!


• I enjoy love confessions being blurted out at inopportune times! Perhaps they confess their love right after Felix barely survived his cure. Perhaps it’s in a battle Felix accidentally got pulled into as well. Maybe it’s even before the infection and the two of them somehow got into trouble in Tevinter (I’m sure Dorian can manage to find some and we know Felix likes it).


• Friends to lovers seems like a great trope for these two. I would love to see their friendship develop and then shift into something more, maybe after Felix is cured and they see each other again and all their old feelings suddenly resurface stronger (plus some little crushes they may already have had).


• Would also like a version were they already fell for each other and became lovers in Tevinter before Felix was infected. (If you want to write a dramatic story with that prompt: Perhaps Felix broke up with Dorian because of the taint, not wanting Dorian to be tied to a dead man, and Dorian accepted it as the reasonable thing to do, but was secretly heart-broken? Can they pick it up again when Felix is cured and do the friends-to-lovers walk a second time? That’d be great.)


• I generally see them as about the same age, but I don’t think it ever actually says for Felix. Is he Dorian’s age or was there maybe a bit of an age difference and Felix had a puppy love crush on Dorian when he first came around the house and Felix was like sixteen, seventeen? Does Dorian now see him in a new light after they have been separated and Felix has gone through such harrowing experiences, where before Dorian perhaps always still had that image of the teenager in mind, even though Felix had long grown up?


• Considering Alexius picked Dorian up when they were both visitors to a brothel, I doubt Dorian has little experience with men, but for Felix I could see it! Does Dorian show him what he’s been missing out on?


• Maybe Felix was a bit of a late-bloomer, so he hadn’t slept with anyone yet before he was infected, man or woman, and afterwards he was worried he might be able to pass on the blight, so he remained a virgin despite being basically Dorian’s age or just a few years younger. After Felix is cured and Dorian finds out, he decides to give Felix a few hands-on lessons. Are they already in a relationship or are they pretending just to have fun but actually pining?


• Dorian joins a cured Felix back in Tevinter after DA:I. Maybe they had a long-distance relationship so far and now finally get to be sweet with each other in person?


• Dorian decides to meet with his parents. He pretends like it doesn’t really shake him (as usual), but Felix welcomes him back in their shared home in the aftermath and reminds him he doesn’t need to conform to his family anymore.


• Dorian and Felix geeking out over filling the library in their new home.


• Felix spoke to the Inquisitor, asking about the Other Future, or questioned his father about his intentions. Dorian cheers him up afterwards, as Felix is shaken to learn what was to be done in the name of protecting him.


• Dorian always assumed Felix was straight (maybe Felix thought so, too, or maybe he just didn’t think he was Dorian’s type). Then, as Felix is cured and with the Inquisition, or maybe earlier when they’re still together in Tevinter, a man starts hitting on Felix and Felix seems mildly interested – though of course his true interests lie elsewhere… does Dorian intervene?


• Dorian is a flirt and terribly charming. Felix is very reasonable and understanding and usually not super bothered by that. Still, it can get a little much sometimes to see how many people are infatuated with Dorian and especially in Tevinter, Felix’s lack of magic talent makes him sort of second-class to most nobles, so he probably gets overlooked a lot on principle when people consider if Dorian is free. How does he try to recapture Dorian’s interest? Does Dorian make it clear that sort of effort (while appreciated) was never even necessary?


• Dorian’s ex is either the Iron Bull or the Inquisitor. Felix secretly wonders how he is ever going to stand up to either of them (he’s not a Dom or generally as sexually experienced as the Bull, nor an amazing main character hero).


• Dorian said that in Tevinter, you don’t often get relationships between men. Maybe, out of habit, he tries to keep things light with Felix, more friends-with-benefits despite being desperately in love. Meanwhile, Felix doesn’t want to pressure Dorian and lose him, since he knows Dorian has a wild history and might still not be into commitment, but he wishes he could be his only partner. Do they eventually manage to figure out they want the same thing?


• Just generally Dorian and Felix hanging around Skyhold after Felix is cured, being in love and not quite daring to admit it since neither wants to ruin the friendship. What (or who) pushes them into it? Dorian’s meddling friends definitely welcome!


• Being tainted, Felix hasn’t really been touched in a long while except for by people trying to work magic or medicine on him and he’s only recently been cured. When Dorian starts being affectionate (whether in a relationship or casually), he’s very eager for it.


• Dorian has a lot of sex, but he didn’t get much physical attention divorced from that, Tevinter being as it is. Luckily, Felix is very happy to give it even when Dorian is not the type to directly ask for a hug.


• Dorian has to defend them in a battle and Felix isn’t much use in a fight (especially not if he’s still weak suffering/recovering from the blight), so it’s on Dorian to pull himself up again and again and he’s not going to fail. Would love Felix patching him up after!


• Felix is not much of a fighter, but somehow he ends up in a situation where he has to defend Dorian (who is maybe trying to open one of those magical barriers or already beaten on the ground or something) and he just won’t let himself be defeated, despite the fact that he’s neither a good mage nor all that great with a blade. He can still be a meat shield, after all.


• Felix got cured in Haven, but while he’s still recovering, Corypheus attacks. So he basically has no choice but to drag himself, half-dead, through the snow to Skyhold with the others. Dorian is at his side, of course.


• One character falling ill (or suffering from an infected wound, or in Felix’s case maybe going through difficult blight treatment) and the other caring about them is already one of my favourite tropes, so that alone would make me happy. If you want to up the ante, maybe there is a feverish confession. What is it about? Is it a love confession or perhaps something more indiscreet, a smutty fantasy? Or maybe something innocent but with implications towards their feelings, like them wishing for the other person to embrace them or stay with them through the night?


• I would love for Dorian to reveal what happened between him and his father to Felix and just generally get to vent his frustration with the Tevinter system in earnest for once, since he’s usually more of a hide-the-pain-with-jokes type of person.


• Felix is so serene about even his own death, but maybe he can have a moment as well. Does he still dream about the attack that killed his mother and left him infected? What about when his grandfather tried to have him assassinated? Did he ever suffer at the hands of other high-born people, or family members/acquaintances for his lack of magic, but didn’t tell people? (I’d also be fine with noncon for this specific prompt, perhaps someone making use of the fact that he has no magical way to defend himself, because it would be interesting to see how Felix handles it.) Him telling Dorian would be nice.


• Felix going through some sort of blight cure would need some seeing to. Dorian fussing with him (maybe while sort of still trying to keep up the irreverent attitude – does he manage?) would be fun.


• But maybe Dorian also goes down with a nasty flu or something at some point! Felix wants him to get better, of course, but maybe also enjoys that he gets to repay Dorian a little bit for caring about him when he was in recovery.


• For a pre-blight prompt, one of them falling ill and the other caring about them when they don’t know each other that well yet back in Tevinter would be a great chance for them to start falling in love.


• Dorian had the best intentions about not touching the son of the man who pulled him out of his life of chaotic squalor and actually put him on a good path. However, he didn’t expect Felix to be his soulmate.


• Dorian and Felix knew they were soulmates, but Felix told Dorian it would be fine if he left since he has to get used to living without him, as he’s dying from the blight. When they meet again, Dorian realises he can’t leave him a second time. Then, when they’ve already resigned themselves to Felix’s imminent death, a cure is found.


• Arranged marriages are always awesome. In a first step to reforming Tevinter, Dorian and Felix decide to get married (whether it’s wholly officially recognised or not) to bind their powerful families together and make a point that political alliances are still possible and valuable if they don’t result in biological babies. Is it a love marriage from the start or did they do it out of political cunning but now realise it means more?


• Felix, who is with the administrative Inquisition staff, is at some point handed an orphan baby to care for because everyone else has too much to do. The kid has no other family and him and Dorian accidentally fall into the role of parents (and get together if they aren’t already).


• One/some of their relatives or friends get offed in some political plot. Dorian and Felix, currently back in Tevinter trying to reform it, are left caring for their orphaned baby. Are they already together and realise they’re now basically starting a family or does this bring them closer?


• So mpreg probably can’t be something that’s usually possible for human and other magically talented races, as otherwise Dorian’s whole backstory collapses in on itself. But maybe there’s just a stigma against it in Tevinter as it is traditionally thought to produce or for some reason actually does often produce less magically powerful children? But Dorian wants a child with his lover/husband Felix, anyway, and goes against all established norms and traditions.


• Dorian and Felix stumble over some ancient magic artefact that leaves Felix pregnant with Dorian’s baby. Do they consider reverse-engineering the magic? What does it feel like for Dorian that he may give his father exactly what he wants in the end, an heir? That must be a weird and not altogether positive feeling.


• The secret to mpreg/fpreg is discovered in Tevinter during the timeline of DA:I. Great, now it wouldn’t be a problem anymore to favour someone of the same gender and Dorian can marry some magically gifted dude he will never get along with and they can despise each other till they’re both old! Dorian, of course, promptly decides to scandalise everybody by marrying Felix, whose lack of magical talent basically makes him a no-go as a partner for the entirety of Tevinter’s upper crust, male or female.


• For Art: Any of the above scenarios would be amazing. If you enjoy that style, the tarot cards that Inquisition used are beautiful and anything of that sort would be great, too. Matching character cards for romance, maybe? Or a shared one? I also like the blocky medieval-ish art style that the narrated cutscenes in Dragon Age 2 used, so that would also be great. However, it doesn’t have to be anything in that style. I’d also really enjoy a picture of Felix and Dorian sitting over books together, exploring some beautiful or interesting landscape, being at an official Inquisition or Tevinter function (formal wear!), or simply hanging out and being sweet together. A picture of Felix still recovering on the sickbed, but already talking with Dorian, or Dorian kissing him as he wakes up from the improbable but suddenly available blight cure would be great, too. We also see an updated character design for Dorian in the ending slide when he’s back in Tevinter with the Lucerni/in the senate, so him in that outfit and Felix also with an adjusted character design would be cool.

Assassin’s Creed – Origins

Bayek/Apollodorus of Sicily
Apollodorus didn’t have the biggest role, but I really enjoyed the often somewhat teasing interactions between them, as it brought out Bayek’s fun side. They’re both driven and confident people, too, and I think they would get along well in the long run. I would like for Apollodorus to survive, if it comes up in the timeline of your fic, and I think with both of them a bit lost in this new part of their life, with Bayek now fully a Hidden One and Apollodorus having lost faith in Cleopatra and her allies, it could be quite interesting to go past the end. As for Bayek’s relationship with Aya, they could break up at an earlier point than in canon, or this could be set after Bayek and her split up; basically, I just don’t want Bayek cheating on Aya. For smut, I prefer bottom Apollodorus. If you include mpreg, I like pregnant Apollodorus. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Apollodorus and alpha or beta Bayek.

• Bayek always seemed more reluctant than Aya to me when it came to putting all his personal connections aside. Perhaps he’s still licking his wound over the marriage ending while keeping on eye on a recovering Apollodorus. Then, they start slowly falling in love over long conversations and Hidden Ones business.


• Or Aya and Bayek break up (whether at the end of the game or earlier) and Bayek, hurt and angry, takes some of his feelings out with Apollodorus during passionate sex. Neither of them expects it to become anything serious, but eventually, there’s a breaking point that reveals their feelings. If it happens before the end of the game, maybe it’s Apollodorus almost dying? If it’s afterwards, maybe it’s some other crisis or even a smaller, private moment that makes them realise they like each other more?


• Generally for FWB to romance (or slightly antagonistic acquaintances to romance), do they realise they like each other quite soon, or is there a lot of mutual pining? How do they eventually manage to turn it into a relationship?


• Being disgraced, Apollodorus has to flee his estate in Kanopos Nome. Since he’s still wounded and easy prey, Bayek takes him in. Apollodorus becomes one of the Hidden Ones, maybe sort of a bureau leader? He was already the organiser of Cleopatra’s agents and spies, so he seems to have talent in that direction.


• Or maybe Apollodorus and the Order of the Ancients are at a shaky impasse, where they won’t admit they tried to kill him and he doesn’t accuse them openly because he knows Cleopatra would likely rule in their favour. So Apollodorus continues to live on his estate, but becomes an important Hidden Ones contact/organiser (in exchange for some protection) and him and Bayek get closer.


• Speaking of Hidden Ones work, Apollodorus can be pretty sneaky, too, as we know (that whole carpet stunt!). So I’m sure he could also go on a mission or two with Bayek and impress him there.


• I’d love to see them fight together! Whether Apollodorus plays bait and tank and Bayek comes jumping out of the shadows or they fight back to back, it would all be great fun.


• Exploring old tombs together, riding through the desert, visiting new places... Origin was one of those games were I immensely enjoyed the world and I would love for Bayek to explore it alongside Apollodorus.


• Bayek’s eagle takes a liking to Apollodorus. This may be because she realises that her owner is quite affectionate towards him as well (or maybe because Apollodorus just feeds her a lot of treats, lol). Can she (maybe unwittingly) arrange an opportunity for the two to figure out that they like each other?


• Bayek was always with Aya and very focused on her. Has he ever contemplated his attraction to men, does he accept it, or is it something he’s pushed away so far? Maybe it’s something he still has to come to terms with. I would love for him to work through it with Apollodorus.


• Smut would be great. Bayek seems to have spent his entire life with Aya, so I assume he doesn’t have any experience with men. Apollodorus is quite a bit older and doesn’t seem to be married, so he could potentially have quite a lot of experience with men and is happy to share with Bayek.


• Maybe Apollodorus stopped bottoming once he was older (maybe he also did it for a little longer than he should have by the rules of Romans and Greeks, but at his current age, there’s really no argument around the fact that he “should” top). However, Bayek doesn’t feel beholden to all these rules and Apollodorus does enjoy being convinced by him. (On the other hand, I could also see Apollodorus being more free-spirited and using the fact that he does not live in the Roman Republic anymore to his advantage, doing whatever he wants in bed.)


• For Art: Any of the above prompts would be great. I like all of Bayek’s looks, but I have a special preference for him with his beard and sideways ponytail from the start of the game, so if you want to go for that, I’d be delighted. I would also really enjoy a picture of them relaxing on Apollodorus’s estate or in Siwa. The two of them crouching in the shadows during a mission or fighting together in the open would be great. One of them patching up the other after a fight (or after Apollodorus gets almost killed) would also be nice. For historical canons like this, I also am obligated to request a picture of them riding on the same horse or camel together. Of course, kissing, embraces, or smut would also be amazing. I’d love a picture that captures their teasing, too, like one of them biting the other’s earlobe, putting their hand down the other’s clothes, surprise-hugging them and stuff like that.

(I also have a letter dealing with heats, sex pollen, and A/B/O in case you're looking for more prompts.)

Assassin’s Creed – Odyssey

Alexios/Stentor
Alexios and Stentor have such a deliciously complicated relationship. Stentor is obviously threatened by Alexios’s presence, and Alexios is probably jealous that Stentor got to have Nikolaos as a father whereas Alexios got to be shoved off a mountain. However, considering how attached Stentor is to Nikolaos, I doubt he has any birth family that cares about him, either. He and Alexios might eventually find themselves unexpectedly able to bond over some things. They would also make a great battle couple and their verbal and physical sparring is a lot of fun. I write mostly with protagonist!Alexios in mind, but feel free to go for Deimos!Alexios if you want to, I like him, too. For smut, I prefer bottom Stentor. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Stentor. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Stentor and alpha or beta Alexios.

• I assume since Nikolaos was happy to have his family back and Stentor wants to please him in all things, he decides to grit his teeth and make nice with the new relatives. I would like to see Stentor wondering where he still fits into this family dynamic now that Nikolaos has his ‘real’ children back, and they both happen to be unstoppable fighting machines with god-like powers that outclass Stentor dramatically (which to a Spartan must be quite important) and also one of them sort of saved Sparta from the Cult and won the Olympics. However, in Stentor’s attempts to learn to tolerate his new brother – whether he be Alexios or Deimos!Alexios –, the two end up developing quite a different relationship. The focus I want is on romantic developments, but I also wouldn’t say no at all to Kassandra/Deimos!Kassandra and Myrrine developing a family relationship with Stentor, too, and Nikolaos getting to know Alexios and Kassandra better, and/or reassuring Stentor. Family fluff is great! Well, as fluffy as this family can get... does the five of them fighting through a bandit camp or something count?


• Speaking of stories with a family focus, you can recruit your whole family as lieutenants after the good ending. Alexios sailing around with his family (or just Stentor) on board, calling them into battle to help him, and their developing relationships would be great. Oh, and him and Stentor accidentally falling in love, of course.


• Stentor and Alexios tell the family about their relationship (or get caught red-handed). How does everyone deal with it?


• Alexios and Stentor have to work together to solve some new problem in Sparta – general politics or Cultist related. This forces them to come closer and look at the other one’s strengths and skills and they develop a grudging respect – and more. Bonus if they fight together at some point.


• I also like the idea of the two of them sleeping together but never admitting their feelings until something bad happens to the other. The rest of the family/their friends is very confused when the dude they thought would have been relieved to see the other go, or at the very least hardly bothered by it, flies completely off the handle and runs to go save their lover or has basically been welded to the bedside of the sick man.


• When they meet again in Boeotia, after the battle, perhaps Stentor gets almost assassinated or badly wounded by some Cultist (or other general traitor) in his ranks. Alexios stays around to help solve the problem and they grow closer over it and fall in love, perhaps even stay close in the coming years?


• I also love the idea of them meeting before Megaris and having an affair and genuine connection, a crush, or at least some hot nights together before they know who the other is. That, or a scene after, when it all falls into place, would be great.


• Spartan marriage included a ritualistic kidnapping of the bride. This could be fun with Stentor reintroducing Alexios to some customs of his old and new home by "kidnapping" him, or Alexios deciding to woo Stentor in the traditional way by stealing him away. (Also, Deimos!Alexios doing the kidnapping could be interesting as well, though probably a good deal more frightening at first.)


• To everyone’s great surprise, probably Stentor’s included, Deimos!Alexios and Stentor are the ones who have the easiest time finding to each other because fighting is the primary language they both speak. I would really like it if the two of them managed to take out their aggressions on each other, which at first might be nothing but them funnelling their energy so they don’t actually kill each other (and Deimos doesn’t kill anyone else), but slowly turns into friendlier sparring as they grow closer on other levels, too.


• Anything to do with Alexios’ mythical bloodline! I like the Isu fine, but I also like Alexios just straight up being related to Greek gods, so whichever one you prefer. Do Alexios and Stentor run into mythological trouble together?


• Also, stuff with Alexios and his animals and Stentor's reaction to them. His horse seems to be pretty special (20 foot drop is usually something it can walk off), his eagle is clearly magical, and I'd love a story that works with the Beast Master skill somehow, too (feel free to make it more effective/longer-lasting than in the game). Maybe Alexios has permanently tamed himself a mountain lion?


• If you wanna go the smut-heavy route, I have a preference for Alexios on top, but I also like Alexios and Stentor fighting for dominance. A scenario where Stentor is quite happy to often be the loser (and very, very ashamed about enjoying Alexios topping him) would be great, though. I could also see them using fighting, physical or otherwise, as an entrance into their little dalliances. Do they eventually get a point where they realise that they want to sleep with each other even without almost breaking their noses in a sparring match beforehand? Where Stentor even admits to his preference for bottoming, if he has it in this fic? Enemies to People (hardly friends) With Benefits to Lovers certainly is a great trope for them.


• For that matter, D/s with sub Stentor would also be fun. I could see Alexios as a gentle Dom who turns these situations to his favour subtly and softly (and it’s really good), or the two of them going at it from a consensual but probably not very safe or sane angle, where they work out their frustrations with each other and secretly enjoy having really rough sex (Stentor could be the ultimate brat sub…).


• For A/B/O, Stentor as the angriest omega in all of ancient Greece would be a lot of fun (however, him being at peace with his nature would also be interesting, so whichever way you want to write it). I'd love anything about him with Alexios, seriously, so these are really just ideas. Perhaps a sudden unexpected heat can bring him and Alexios closer together? Literally and figuratively, ehm. Or maybe omegas get treated differently/better in warrior-ethos-focused Sparta than they do in the rest of Ancient Greece, so Stentor has quite a bit of independence there, but him and Alexios need to pretend to be bonded on some mission outside the city because Stentor would not be allowed to go certain places/do certain things otherwise (I love pretend relationship turns into real relationship)? Or the Spartan king decides that the alpha who obviously has shown himself worthy of getting a child on the very decorated omega Stentor is Alexios.


• I wish Phoibe had survived and I feel like a plucky orphan like her might win Stentor’s heart against his will. Maybe Stentor was somehow with Alexios in Athens (in disguise) and managed to save her? Maybe Alexios can save her and brings her to Stentor so he can protect her (she could be his servant/helper like she was to others before)? Stentor doesn’t seem to like Alexios, but Alexios judges correctly that he wouldn’t send an innocent girl to her almost certain death. Or maybe Stentor is the one who tells him that though Phoibe is quite independent, Alexios should try to help her for her own good, even if she pretends she can do it all alone. Either way, through caring for Phoibe, the two of them get closer, too.


• Alexios’ special bloodline needs to be continued. Either by way of an Isu artefact, mpreg just always being possible for some men, or A/B/O, Stentor could be the one to carry that kid. Or maybe it has nothing to do with Alexios wanting to continue his bloodline, but he just wants to have a family with Stentor. I’m also always here for unplanned pregnancies, too.


• For Art: Any of the above prompts would be great. Alexios and Stentor in full armour on a battlefield or in a war camp together (blood covering them optional), or wearing ‘civvies’ like chitons and tunics back in Sparta would be cool. I also enjoy people swapping clothes or armour pieces or wearing the other one’s clothes entirely. I’d also love to see Alexios teasing Stentor, like hugging him from behind or surprise-kissing him. The two of them just sitting side by side, eating, sharpening their swords, reading, relaxing would be great as well. They don’t get a lot of downtime in the game. The two of them riding on the back of Alexios’ horse together would be sweet. I’d love to see Alexios’ eagle teasing Stentor, or perhaps also acting affectionate towards him as a sort of proxy for Alexios (who may not dare to yet). Alexios showing Stentor the Forge or another Isu place would make for a great picture. I like Alexios being descended from actual gods and Greek mythology being real as well, but the Isu, too; so a picture that incorporates mythological creatures, gods, tales with the two of them, whether they be classical or Isu-style, would be sweet.

(I also have a letter dealing with heats, sex pollen and A/B/O, one for marriage tropes, one for smut, one for mpreg and kidfic, one for pining tropes, one for epistolary fic, one for id fic, and one with an AU focus for this couple, in case you're looking for more prompts.)


Original Male Character/Stentor
I love Stentor. He is so angry, so jealous of Alexios/Kassandra, so worried that he will not live up to what his father wants of him, and he’s trying so goddamn hard all the time. I have this headcanon that Stentor is gay because he’s such a perfect Spartan, but doesn’t seem to have the mandatory-by-thirty wife he would need in Sparta. However, I’m also totally fine with headcanons that he’s bisexual as long as he’s dating a man in this story. I’m happy both with historical fics were Stentor being interested in grown men is not considered proper and fics where M/M marriage is already a possibility. I prefer bottom Stentor for smut. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Stentor. There are some ideas for OMCs below, but feel free to go wild as long as the original character isn’t related to Stentor and isn’t underage. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Stentor and alpha or beta OMC.

• Generally, as long as they have a chance at a happy ending, I’m down for pretty much anything. What sort of guy might sweep him off his feet, or at least get his attention? Is it a fellow soldier, or maybe a Spartan man taken out of the fight by an injury who now has other tasks than going to war? Maybe someone not Spartan altogether, but a local resistance fighter loyal to the Spartan cause or one of the non-Spartan inhabitants from Spartan lands, a perioikoi fighting alongside the Spartan warriors or perhaps doing a totally different job? Whatever you come up with would be fun!


• If M/M marriage is possible, Stentor might agree to marry a man to further his father’s family and live according to Sparta’s tradition. Maybe Nikolaos even arranged a marriage, or the kings suggested one? The man would probably be from the upper classes of Sparta. How do they make their arranged marriage work?


• Did Stentor have an erastes? How did they meet and why did he pick Stentor? Was Nikolaos alright with the relationship or did he have to be convinced? Are they still secretly dating despite Stentor’s age now being too advanced for that to still be considered appropriate? (I would like it if Stentor was at least 18 years old when they started their thing, which would be late historically, though not without precedent, but it’s not like AC: Odyssey is one hundred per cent accurate, anyway.)


• Another scenario that might be fun is if a maybe sixteen, seventeen year old, or maybe even a young-looking older teen came up to Stentor at one point and asked to be his eromenos, but Stentor sends him away because he’s not interested in boys. Years pass and Stentor runs into him again and now he’s grown up into a well-spoken, tall, handsome, way too likable guy. To make matters worse, he very quickly recovers his crush on Stentor, who cannot bring himself to dismiss him so quickly now.


• I’d also love to see Stentor take up with a somewhat older man, too, maybe an experienced warrior. Does he help Stentor out as he’s reeling from having to take over Nikolaos’ job without warning? Or maybe the man is already off the battlefield with permanent injury, but a smart person who manages to temper Stentor a bit? Did Stentor used to have a puppy crush on him when he was younger that he somehow can’t get rid off, or does he only learn to like him now when they have a chance to really get to know each other?


• Sort of a specific idea, but I like the idea of a Cultist OC seducing Stentor to get him into the Cult or have him kill Alexios/Kassandra. However, if things went alright with Alexios/Kassandra and Nikolaos, Stentor won’t go for that. Another man fixing Stentor’s broken heart after Stentor realises he’s been used (and in a ploy to get to Alexios/Kassandra, no less – as if his life doesn’t revolve around Alexios/Kassandra enough already) would be great.


• I love me some battle couples, so if the man you choose for Stentor is a fighter as well, I would love to see them fighting together. If he’s not a fighter, maybe Stentor can heroically protect him from some danger?


• Stentor seems like the kind of guy who basically lives in armour, which is what the Spartans want for their men, of course. Still, maybe his partner could make him relax.


• If Stentor can’t marry his lover, perhaps they can still play at it. I’d love Stentor getting kidnapped (or kidnapping) his lover on their ‘wedding night’. I’d also totally want the ritual bridal kidnapping if they can officially get married, though!


• For smut, I definitely enjoy everything listed in my smut likes and would be happy to receive it. If you want a specific prompt, though, I like Stentor working through cultural hang-ups he has about bottoming. Maybe he hasn’t done it before meeting this man? Maybe it’s the first time he’s doing it with this partner? What (or who) convinced him to give it a try?


• For Art: I would definitely love an illustration for any of the above ideas. I also would enjoy seeing Stentor and his boyfriend in ‘civvies’, so maybe in a chiton or tunic or something, just relaxing, or, if they both happen to be fighters, wrestling in nothing but underwear. However, I would also enjoy a picture of them dressed up properly on the battlefield together (or Stentor in full armour being admired by his civilian boyfriend). His partner surprise kissing or hugging grumpy Stentor would be very cute. I also love characters riding on the same horse, so that would be fun. I also like that little scar Stentor has on his lower lip – maybe a picture of his lover touching or kissing it?

Assassin’s Creed 3

Haytham Kenway/Charles Lee
I love Haytham and Charles, villains who really respect and like each other and stand behind their idea of a world of order being what is needed for humanity where they guide the rest of us stupid sheeple humans to a better future lol. I immensely enjoy young Charles’s senpai-notice-me dynamic with Haytham and his adoration for him; but I also love that eventually it goes both ways, when Charles becomes Haytham’s trusted second-in-command and a Templar in his own right. Haytham’s polite charm and firm believe in the Templars (and in Charles) were always intriguing, too, especially since he is much more complex than quite a few of the Templars we meet throughout the series. I prefer bottom Charles for smut. I you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Charles. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Charles and alpha or beta Haytham.

• I would love to see them both on a mission for the Templars, perhaps looking for a Piece of Eden, rooting out rogue assassins (OC ones would be great, I like all the named ones from the game so much), kicking ass and swinging swords and kissing in between.


• I also like Modern AUs, provided they are still Templars, or Abstergo Industries employees, one should say. This could be just them in modern times and how that might have changed things; for example, they could openly have a relationship and even marry. I would gladly read about the Colonial Rite Templars preparing/celebrating a wedding, whether it’s just fluff or whether there’s an assassination attempt before they even get to the cake. But I also would love plottier stuff where they get involved in everything that’s going on with the current Abstergo search for Pieces of Eden.


• For Canon Divergence, what if Haytham did turn his back on being a Templar, perhaps after killing Reginald Birch? I’m sure he would not want to leave his favourite subordinate on the other side of the divide. Would love if he can somehow convince Charles, as I’d really be sad to see them ending up enemies. Or perhaps his change of mind came even earlier and he poaches the eager young acolyte for his own purposes instead of making him a Templar (perhaps by seducing him, combining business with pleasure, and/or by filling his head with new ideas)?


• Another idea I like is that Charles somehow knew who Haytham’s son is, or Haytham did, and, arriving just a few hours later than in game, either of them or both find little Connor in the burning wreckage of the village and take him home to raise him a Templar. Gimme all that found family fluff – Connor playing with Charles’s dogs! Haytham training little Connor by making him jump at Charles from every shadowy corner of the house! – with perhaps just that hint of a dark edge, knowing what Connor is being raised into. Related, I’m also here for full-scale King Haytham AUs where he got the Piece of Eden and brought Connor to his side (or Connor never existed and thus didn’t become a problem for the Templars; I just don’t want dead Connor, basically) – or King Charles Lee, as he seemed to be the person they were setting up for the more public political leadership, but with Haytham pulling the strings.


• Charles has quite a temper and it’d be interesting if Haytham noticed this and decided to train him out of it as much as he can to mould him into a better Templar. Whether this veers into a smutty direction (D/s for the sake of self-control? I’d love Haytham as Charles’s Dom) or involves some real soul-searching and deep discussions or tests from Haytham, all is good.


• Heap on the angst and hurt/comfort! One of them almost dying, getting gravely injured, falling deadly ill, almost frozen to death, tortured by rogue Templars or Assassins for fun or information... and then the other one bursting in to save them (if applicable) and dragging them home and putting them back together; or just holding bedside vigil and collecting all the physicians in the city.


• In general, getting together fic would be great. How do they go about it? In the 18th century, you couldn’t really walk up to someone of the same gender and just ask them out – although, Haytham has such big brass... ego, he really might. Is one of them more experienced with men than the other? Perhaps one has only had relationships/dalliances with women and is still somewhat grappling with this new aspect to their sexuality. Or the inexperienced one is very eager but not quite sure how to go about it. If it’s Haytham, does he maybe think he’ll just experiment with Charles for a bit, since he’s clearly willing, but it turns into more? If it’s Charles, is he growing steadily more confused about this feeling he thought to be admiration and is made to flounder constantly by Haytham, who knows exactly what’s going on and loves teasing?


• For smut, I already mentioned above that I think a D/s relationship between them could be great fun, but I would also be here for Charles working very, very hard to impress Haytham in every aspect of their acquaintance, worshipping his body, doing all the work for him. Does Haytham like to lean back and enjoy it, or does he eventually flip the tables, or perhaps decide from the start that Charles should learn that as a lover, Haytham doesn’t need to be won over? Apart from that, I would also love to see their first time together.


• For Art: Any of the above prompts would of course be great. Charles and Haytham going to some sort of posh event together (opera, theatre, dinner with Charles’s parents) would be just as cool as the two of them covered in grime and blood after a battle. I also enjoy characters swapping/wearing each other’s clothes, maybe for a mission? Haytham teaching Charles to climb is also fun, so the two of them hanging out on rooftops or literally hanging on the side of a building would be fun. He could also teach Charles how to trail/eavesdrop. Sparring is cool with two fighter characters such as them, too (I’d also enjoy Haytham pinning Charles to the ground here and Charles trying to hide that he’s into it or just staring up at him in embarrassed silence).

(I also have a letter dealing with marriage tropes, one for smut, one for mpreg tropes, one for epistolary fic and one with an AU focus for this couple, in case you're looking for more prompts.)


Ratonhnhaké:ton | Connor/Clipper Wilkinson
If you don’t quite remember Clipper, well, I don’t blame you! He doesn’t have a big role, but I quite liked him. He’s the Assassin recruit who allows you to order sniping at a distance when you call for your little helpers in a fight. Here is a video with all interactions you have with him directly. Short as it was, I really enjoyed the relationship Connor and him had – how much Clipper admired Connor, and how Connor respected him, and how well their morals matched up from the very start. I think for Connor, it would be great to have someone reliable and good-natured like Clipper in his life, considering how difficult it has been so far. For smut, I prefer bottom Clipper. If you include mpreg, I like pregnant Clipper. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Clipper and alpha or beta Connor.

• It always seemed to me that Clipper hadn’t really found his place in life yet and I think he really would have enjoyed living in Connor’s little village. Connor offers, or Clipper just comes around so often they eventually decide it just makes sense. This affords them many chances to meet and do things together and fall in love.


• Clipper has to leave his place quickly because of Templar-related problems and Connor offers him a room in his house. It’s big and rather empty, after all! Except being so close all the time makes it even harder for both of them to ignore their crush.


• Connor’s story is just generally one that feels rather sad, not triumphant, even though he does eventually get Lee. Clipper being there for him after the end of the game and that bringing the two of them together would be awesome.


• Generally, I would have liked for Connor to have a confidant after Achilles’s death! Despite him living in a village of his own design, he always seemed exceptionally solitary throughout the game. Clipper following him on missions, hunting with him, doing sidequests with him would be great to see.


• After the end of the game, Connor decides he needs a time-out and disappears into the countryside. The Assassins/villagers get worried when he doesn’t return for a while and Clipper, coming from a surveyor family at the frontier, is the one who can actually track him down. Connor didn’t think he wanted company, but he actually enjoys Clipper being around...


• I would love to see Connor teach Clipper Assassin things! And maybe Clipper can help him with his aim with a rifle, being such a great sniper? Perhaps Connor teaches him how to use a bow and arrow in return. This all would afford them a lot of opportunity to get to know each other better.


• How do they handle their attraction to men? Were they both aware of their own feelings? Is one of them more comfortable with it and the other still needs to handle it? I would like it if they worked through it together, of course.


• Maybe a few of the villagers also realise that Connor may have a thing for Clipper and vice versa? They generally seem kind of relaxed about people not fitting into the expected boxes of the time, so it’d be fun to see them try their hand at match-making.


• Smut would be fun! Clipper generally seems like he doesn’t have super much experience, and I think someone on the writing team actually said that Connor is a virgin throughout the whole game (so him either having no experience or very little would be interesting). Seeing the two of them fumble through and have a lot of firsts but also fun together would be really appreciated.


• Maybe one of them thinks the other must definitely be more experienced (Connor is so self-confident and attractive! Clipper is very personable and has been around many parts of the country!) and so they don’t dare approach the other because they feel they would disappoint them in bed, or they are at least nervous about sex. How do they figure out neither of them is exactly Casanova?


• For Art: Any of the above would be great. I would love to see the two of them fighting together or sitting on a rooftop together to spy on a target. However, I’d also enjoy them being alone up there because it’s just a good spot to hang out (and maybe share a secret kiss). Connor and Clipper in the village or otherwise out in nature, which I’m sure they both enjoy, would be great, too. And, of course, with a nature backdrop comes a great opportunity for romance or smut out in the wild. I would also really enjoy a picture of them riding on the same horse together. Finally, the two of them just hanging out in Connor’s house would be great to see.

(I also have a letter dealing with heats, sex pollen, and A/B/O in case you're looking for more prompts.)

Granblue Fantasy

Justin/Valentin
I had too much fun with these two. Whether they were rocking on stage, doing way too public casual BDSM stuff or being catty music critics, they really seemed to get along very well for two intense personalities that might be somewhat challenging to deal with for ordinary people. Whether during their time with the Vicious Three or later, when it was just those Vicious Two left killing guitarists, or after they’ve been drafted into Aoidos’s new band, I’d love to see more of them together.

For smut, I prefer bottom Valentin. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Valentin. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Valentin and alpha or beta Justin (however, alpha or beta Valentin being “forced” (willingly) into the omega role by Justin would also be fun). Valentin does seem to be indestructible for some reason, so feel free to take a loose interpretation on the DNW “no debilitating mutilations for sexual pleasure”. If all his body parts stay attached and he’s not permanently disabled in some way, I’m totally fine with it (even if they do stuff that really should permanently disable a human being, as long as Valentin bounces back from it...).

• Fine, Justin is going to play Aoidos’s goddamn ballads. However, he’s going to have to let his frustration out on somebody. Valentin is happy to volunteer (he might start enjoying this kind of music just for the side effects it has).


• We know Valentin will take hurt and humiliation wherever it comes from and that doesn’t really bother Justin. Yet at some point Valentin collides with somebody who actually finds it pretty fun to play with him and leans into it. Justin realises rapidly he’s not actually okay with Valentin having other “main sadists” next to him anymore. I’m sure Valentin wouldn’t mind the resulting punishment from Justin at all, though perhaps he’s a bit confused about it (and maybe happy when he realises the reason)?


• Once Justin’s ‘weakness’ has been established, Valentin provoking punishment by flirting with other Doms/sadists etc. would also be fun. Justin’s happy to teach his bad sub better manners!


• Valentin always figured that between the three of them, Justin and Benjamin really had the tighter bond (in the sense that Justin was singularly fascinated with Benjamin and his talent). Now that they’re back with Aoidos, it stings a little bit (for once not in the good way) that he probably won’t have as much of Justin’s attention anymore. Turns out Justin actually is still very interested in Valentin, perhaps to his own surprise.


• Related to the prompt above, but could also be set before that: Justin dealing with the concept of falling in love would be amazing. Being obsessed with Aoidos is kind of logical given his world-view, but actually being in love? What is he supposed to do with that?! And it’s Valentin, who isn’t even some outstanding musical inspiration like Benjamin, so there’s not even a justification.


• Similarly, Valentin trying to come to terms with the ideas that he’s in love with Justin – it’s not like he’s much better adjusted, either. Does he try to court him and what would that look like? Gifts, sex, confessions? Maybe a love song with a little blood and violence (or invitation for Justin to commit violence)? Does he think he doesn’t have a chance because, well, he’s no Benjamin, so it’s all pining until it (hopefully) gets better?


• I would also like to see them make some music together – whether it’s one of the concerts where they kill their criminal guitarist, or whether they’re just practicing. Obviously, they both have pretty high standards, after all! Justin seems to have taken over as songwriter as well, too, so maybe Valentin helps him find some inspiration in that department.


• I love that if Aoidos’s new band sticks together, that would theoretically mean Justin and Valentin are now hanging out on the Grandcypher. They’re probably not even the weirdest people there, to be honest, so why not. Would love to see them settling into their new life. (Alternatively, I would also like them to adjust around Aoidos’s new style if they do travel with him without the others.)


• What does a regular day without a gig look like for these two? They seem to have worked as mercs sometimes, do they still? And what about days off? I’d love to get a glimpse into their normal life, whatever that means for them...


• Playable Justin and Valentin is my fever dream and the event described them as attack dog and shield/sandbag respectively, which sounds like DPS and tank to me, so it’d be interesting to see them fight! If you wanna do h/c, I would love Valentin getting bodied beyond the point where it’s fun even for him (which would be a lot) and Justin flipping out and causing a bloodbath because he thinks Valentin is dead/dying.


• Smut would be very welcome here, of course. I mean, these two seemed to be doing everything but taking off their clothes in game already, Valentin sounded like he was starring in a smut VN. BDSM would be great here, with all that humiliation and/or pain Valentin is constantly begging for. Safe and sane is already out of the window with these two, but I would like it to be consensual (well, aside from all the poor people who constantly have to listen in on their very public dirty talk).


• If you wanna go for something softer, it’d be interesting if one of them was actually hurt and had to recuperate, so they’re forced to be careful or rely on dirty talk and other stuff (well, if Valentin’s hurt, Justin may put his thumb in the wounds a tiny bit).


• I’d also love to see kind of desperate, passionate sex for whatever reason – near-death experience (one they actually didn’t want to end up in, lol), thought the other had died, first time after confessing. I doubt that would end up being vanilla, but it might be a different flavour of spice!


• In the past, one or both of them didn’t really think their sadistic/masochistic urges had a sexual component or repressed that thought, at least. Then they meet each other and, well, that leads to an impactful revelation.


• Do they ever do something like aftercare? Probably not in the traditional sense, but maybe Justin helps with those bandages or chucks a bottle of water at Valentin sometimes?


• Art: Any of the above prompts would be great, of course. Their designs are just really good and I love that short, slight Justin is the sadist and taller, stronger-looking Valentin wants to be slapped by him, so any picture that captures their dynamic (smutty or not) is going to be great. I would also love a picture of them at a concert together or, since they might potentially be hanging out there alongside Aoidos now, hanging out on the Grandcypher. However, I’d also like to see them off-stage, maybe in sleeping clothes or generally just chilling. Also, any sort of shippy interaction from hugs to kisses to Valentin getting stepped on is always welcome!

Benjamin | Aoidos/Valentin
We know more about Justin’s relationship to Benjamin than Valentin’s relationship to him, but it’s clear he’s attached to him as well. I would love to see Valentin around Benjamin or Aoidos or both, since I think either dynamic has a lot of promise. As for Benjamin, he obviously really liked throwing Valentin around and seems to have tolerated his presence, which for Benjamin’s standards is quite good! And how does Aoidos relate to him? Now that he’s founds his memories again, does he still have fun pushing Valentin around a bit?

For smut, I prefer bottom Valentin. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Valentin. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Valentin and alpha or beta Benjamin | Aoidos (however, alpha or beta Valentin being “forced” (willingly) into the omega role by Benjamin | Aoidos would also be fun). Valentin does seem to be indestructible for some reason, so feel free to take a loose interpretation on the DNW “no debilitating mutilations for sexual pleasure”. If all his body parts stay attached and he’s not permanently disabled in some way, I’m totally fine with it (even if they do stuff that really should permanently disable a human being, as long as Valentin bounces back from it...).

• Apparently Benjamin collected Justin “from the gutter”. Where did he scoop up Valentin and why? Did Benjamin hear Valentin play and get inspired? Did Valentin hear Benjamin play and approached him? Did Valentin’s masochistic urges seem interesting to Benjamin? Both? I would love to see their first meeting.


• Benjamin being the person who first makes Valentin fully give in to his masochistic side, basically unlocking it with his personality and/or music, would also be great.


• What was life with the band like during Vicious Three’s first stint? Benjamin obviously had fun punishing Valentin like he wanted, but did he ever sleep with him? If yes, did it start from the beginning or was there something later in their history that triggered it? I’d love to read about it.


• I would love to read about what Valentin sees in Benjamin’s music and how it intersects with what he sees in him as a person.


• I’d also love to know how his feelings for Benjamin develop (whether they’re traditional ‘being in love’ or something more twisted and intense, or both). Is he as fascinated as Justin, but just not quite as obvious about it most of the time? Does he have a little bit more distance?


• The game describes Valentin as the sandbag/shield for the group. Well, that just spells h/c for me (although in Valentin’s case, the hurt probably is in some ways the comfort, lol). Still, even Valentin probably doesn’t quite want to die yet, so things might still get out of hand. Benjamin or Aoidos not being very happy with their enemies at all when Valentin lies ostensibly lifeless on the ground would be very cool, too.


• Benjamin used sleep with Valentin. Aoidos, recovering memories, realizes he’s in love with him (possibly still in love with him, as far as Benjamin could be in love). He resolves to win Valentin back. Considering that he is a very high drama person, this is probably not a quiet and understated process. Do Grandcypher personnel and/or Justin get roped in?


• Aoidos composing and singing a lovesong with heaps and heaps of pathos would be really fun as well. What does Valentin think of it?


• Valentin actually said he kind of got Benjamin’s string-ballad-including vision, so he doesn’t seem to be as opposed as Justin to that kind of music, or he at least doesn’t mind following Benjamin’s lead. Would love for him and Aoidos to work together on some music.


• Aoidos still has some of Benjamin’s violent urges, but unlike Benjamin, he doesn’t want to kill people during concerts anymore and generally really doesn’t want to hurt unwilling people at all. Luckily, there’s someone who is very, very willing. Does Aoidos feel bad at first? Can Valentin take that worry from him?


• Generally, smut would be great, of course. Benjamin seemed to enjoy playing with Valentin, so if he wants to step on him some more, or find other ways to play, that would just be great. However, Aoidos re-learning Valentin’s basically non-existing boundaries would be very fun as well. Benjamin probably had no scruples to go hard from the beginning, but Aoidos might push and push it a little more each time, kind of fascinated (possibly a little horrified, also horny) when there just never seems to be a limit. I also like the idea of Aoidos still being a Dom, but a different sort of Dom than Benjamin (maybe less harsh, or maybe more into all sorts of experiments, or whatever else you’d find interesting) and Valentin adjusting to that.


• Perhaps Aoidos also wants to have normal sex sometimes. Valentin manages to deal with it because, well, at least he’s still doing what is asked of him, right? And maybe he actually finds he likes this a little bit, too (though it’s unlikely it’s ever going to fully replace his thirst for getting messed up).


• Aftercare would be interesting! Benjamin’s might be cursory, but perhaps he does like to make sure Valentin is not literally coming apart at the seams (since he’s unsure if Valentin would even notice or care). Aoidos, meanwhile, could actually do some of the more standard stuff, which severely confuses Valentin at first. Does he end up liking it?


• Art: Any of the above prompts would be great, of course. They have pretty designs and I really like that the one who’s got the beautiful outfit and long hair is the one stepping on the tougher looking guy, so any picture that captures that dynamic (smutty or not) is going to be great. However, I’d also enjoy our exuberant Aoidos being all over Valentin. I would also love a picture of the two at a concert together or, since they might potentially be hanging out on the Grandcypher now, something they’re doing there. However, I’d also like to see them off-stage, maybe in sleeping clothes or generally just chilling. Also, any sort of shippy interaction from hugs to kisses to Valentin getting stepped on is always welcome!

Benjamin | Aoidos/Justin/Valentin
Let’s get the whole band together! I really liked the vibe between these three from what little we got to see. Whether it’s Vicious Three in its short heyday or Justin and Valentin adjusting around the new Aoidos (and Aoidos dealing with recovering his memories and incorporating them into his personality), all would be good. I’d be happy for something that goes deeper into their personalities and relationships, or a plotty fic of them getting roped into Skyfarer or merc work, but I would also enjoy smut, considering these three were like a BDSM porn waiting to happen when Benjamin was still around.

For smut, I prefer bottom Valentin and have no preference between the other two. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Valentin. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Valentin and alpha or beta Benjamin | Aoidos and Justin (however, alpha or beta Valentin being “forced” (willingly) into the omega role by the other two would also be fun).

This fic can of course also include Benjamin | Aoidos/Justin, Justin/Valentin, or Benjamin | Aoidos/Valentin as long as it eventually turns into a closed triad; I just don't want anybody actively, purposefully cheating on somebody else, but muddled circumstances and we’re-pretending-we're-just-FWB-but-actually-pining is fine (as is two of them actively looking for a third, or just happening to find one, of course). Valentin does seem to be indestructible for some reason, so feel free to take a loose interpretation on the DNW “no debilitating mutilations for sexual pleasure”. If all his body parts stay attached and he’s not permanently disabled in some way, I’m totally fine with it (even if they do stuff that really should permanently disable a human being, as long as Valentin bounces back from it...).

• Justin said Benjamin picked him out of the gutter, but how and where did these two happen on Valentin? Perhaps they realised that having someone to release their urges on would be very handy to have around. And hey, he’s a talented drummer, too, so that’s even better.


• Valentin is pretty damn obvious about his wishes now, but maybe before meeting Benjamin and Justin, he was still trying to keep it in? Would definitely love a story where Valentin first gives in to his desires while spurned on by their music and personalities.


• Alternatively, Benjamin collecting Valentin first and finding Justin later. Justin being enabled by Benjamin’s music and then having Valentin as a punching bag already available – how convenient!


• If you want to do an AU, it’d be interesting to see what would have happened if Justin had bit his tongue and somehow managed to force himself into going along with Benjamin’s musical experiments. What would a more balanced version of Benjamin look like? Maybe he would have mellowed the others, too?


• I would love to see a day (or hour or moment) in the life of the Vicious Three before they broke apart.


• Since Aoidos has decided the band is reunited, I guess Justin and Valentin now travel with him (and potentially the Grandcypher). I bet it’s going to take some time to get used to Aoidos, but by the New Year’s event it sounded like they’d kind of adjusted to the situation, even if they still find interacting with normal people kind of difficult... I would love to see something from their everyday life!


• Valentin’s position as the shield/sandbag was probably not chosen without being self-serving (it’s a good way to collect punches!), but nevertheless I would love for him to tank for his somewhat more fragile-looking boyfriends in a fight, whether it’s fun for him or actually uncomfortable – especially if the other two pay back the attackers.


• Okay, here’s an old joke. What’s the last thing a drummer says to their band? “Hey guys, why don’t we try one of my songs?” Well, Valentin doesn’t seem to be very pushy when it comes to that, other than wishing Justin would write more violence against him into his tracks, but it would be interesting if he was experimenting with drum parts and stuff by himself or even actually writing songs. His and Justin’s nagging about the Doss does show they do take music seriously, lol. Benjamin and Justin listening in and incorporating some stuff would be fun. Or maybe Aoidos is the first one who wants Valentin’s input, though Justin is skeptical, but it works out.


• Perhaps Benjamin/Justin used to be a thing, but after Benjamin was gone, Justin and Valentin started sleeping together in an FWB sort of arrangement. Now that Aoidos has force-reunited the band, Justin and him get back together. Valentin expects that he’s only going to get scraps in the form of some random punishment as before, but is actually unhappy about the situation, even though he’d get to feel inferior, so that’s very odd to him! When do the other two catch on? Maybe Valentin confesses? Or perhaps (invonceivably) he rejects an insult or physical attack – they’d definitely realise something is super off. And they actually really don’t want to be without him...


• Aoidos and Valentin are flirting, but they both know Aoidos probably won’t hurt Valentin like he wants it. Aoidos has a lightning strike of inspiration, though: why not keep outsourcing that part to Justin, who loves doing it anyway? (Aoidos also thinks watching would be interesting, too, maybe...) Only, of course, Justin accidentally ends up entangled much deeper in their relationship.


• Aoidos still has some leftover violent urges from his time as Benjamin, but no more desire to act them out randomly. However, Valentin is still there and oh-so-happy to help. This means he does not spend a lot of time petitioning Justin for punishment anymore, though. Justin likes literally nothing about this new arrangement because he wants both men. It turns out Aoidos and Valentin are glad to invite him when they realise he’d like to join in.


• Alternative to the prompt above, it would also be very fun if Justin is the one who offers Valentin to Aoidos to share to get his violent urges (that Justin incidentally likes to watch) under control.


• Benjamin and Justin arguing while casually shoving an excited Valentin around was kinda hot, not gonna lie. I would love to see more of that! (Especially if it doesn’t end in a (nonconsensual) stabbing this time.)


• Generally, smut would be awesome, whether with Benjamin or Aoidos. Benjamin seemed to be Justin’s match in sadism, if not more. Safe and sane is already out of the window with these three, but I would like it to be consensual. Otherwise, go wild! But what about Aoidos? Maybe he brings a completely different dynamic to the bedroom as a Dom that Valentin and Justin will first have to get used to, or maybe his sadism is just a bit more loudly enthusiastic.


• Art: Any of the above prompts would be great, of course. They have pretty designs and I really like that the two beautiful men are the ones stepping on the tougher looking guy, so any picture that captures their dynamic (smutty or not) is going to be great. However, I’d also love a picture of our exuberant Aoidos all over Valentin and Justin (perhaps to Justin’s despair, but hey, he’s probably secretly happy to be back with him anyway). I would also enjoy the three of them at a concert together or hanging out on the Grandcypher, since they might all be there now. However, I’d also like to see them off-stage, maybe in sleeping clothes or generally just chilling. Also, any sort of shippy interaction from hugs to kisses to Valentin getting stepped on is always welcome!

Star Wars: The Old Republic

Male Sith Warrior/Cytharat
I love Cytharat! I’m very much into the noble, polite, upstanding kind of Sith and his romance was very cute – but way too short. Please fix it for me! I would love to see Cytharat’s and Wrath’s relationship develop beyond the kiss that they had in game and generally also learn more about who Cytharat is aside from a Lord who got disgraced by association with his master (or perhaps he actually did do a lot more than that for Darth Malgus’s rebellion, either out of loyalty or because he believed in his cause? It’s never made quite clear, which is interesting). I would also love for him to find a place in the Eternal Throne part of the timeline and beyond. For smut, I prefer bottom Cytharat. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Cytharat. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Cytharat and alpha or beta Wrath (scenarios where only one species has A/B/O or they have A/B/O systems that aren’t completely the same are also fun!).

If your story is set after “Mission to Nathema”, feel free to keep the Eternal Fleet around if you want to or find some other way to keep Wrath in the race between the factions. Wrath being forced to align with the Sith or Republic again is definitely also very interesting (and I don’t have a preference for who he chooses), but I similarly enjoy him being able to lead a third power. You can make Wrath human, cyborg, Zabrak, Sith Pureblood, or even another species if you can somehow make that fit with his backstory on Korriban. Personality-wise, the only thing I wouldn’t really enjoy is a crazy axe murderer type DS Sith – I prefer pragmatic evil, though Wrath can certainly indulge in wanton destruction here and there, being, well, Wrath. However, I’m also totally fine with him being as Light Side as you want, mix-and-matching choices, or deliberately going Grey, especially when it’s set later in the story and he realises there may be a chance for him to carve his own path with the Force.

• Cytharat said that he wished “to fight as one” again. I want that, too! And I want them to actually fight side by side! Perhaps Wrath takes him on his ship, since Cytharat doesn’t have an assignment yet, or they run into each other again during some mission. Rekindling the budding romance is of course very appreciated.


• Just having Cytharat around as a romanceable companion with his own sidequests and opinions and relationships with the others on the Fury would be a lot of fun.


• I can’t see Cytharat stopping his search for Wrath if they were in a relationship by the time he got frozen. Cytharat being around for the scenes where it’s originally just Koth, Lana, and HK-55 to rescue Wrath would be awesome, especially since as a well-mannered, noble Sith he doesn’t seem the most natural fit for that ragtag gang.


• Cytharat has to recover for a while after Makeb, but maybe Wrath and him can keep writing e-mails once he’s good enough to be out of the kolto tank sometimes? They didn’t have a long time to get to know each other and this would be a good way. Would also love to read about the reunion afterwards, of course.


• Cytharat and Wrath meet again during the formation of the Alliance, as Cytharat wants to help. It’s been over five years and they only had one kiss, so neither of them probably wants to make assumptions. Except boy did that kiss stick with both of them.


• Despite his successes on Makeb, maybe the brass still doesn’t trust Cytharat. Wrath does, however, and it’s not like he doesn’t keep much weirder companions. He takes Cytharat on his ship, where they either a) dance around each other since especially an LS Wrath might not want to take advantage and Cytharat is too polite to push the Mighty Wrath, or b) fall into bed the first night and Cytharat just straight up moves into Wrath’s personal quarters. (Other combinations and ideas also welcome, of course.)


• Since they meet on Makeb, and supposing they stay together once Cytharat has recovered, their whole relationship happens in pretty interesting times, what with the Shadow of Revan and the stuff following immediately after. Maybe sometime in, uh, after Eternal Throne-ish, they actually get to take a day off and have a date?


• For smut, Wrath is Big Strong and generally rowdy, so him throwing Cytharat around during sex would be fun. Cytharat is a warrior, too, though, so I’m sure he would be able to give him a fight. They might break a bed or two, but they always have fun.


• Reunion sex after the carbonite freezing incident.


• A Wrath who isn’t a Sith Pureblood might not have dated a Sith Pureblood before, and maybe Cytharat never had a boyfriend who is whatever species Wrath is. Intimate exploration ensues.


• So Cytharat had gotten hit pretty hard by the time you find him on Makeb and the kiss happens, but I feel like he revealed a bit of a mischievous side there, with that smirk and comment after the kiss while he’s sitting there all but holding his guts. Perhaps Wrath expects Cytharat to be kind of stiff in bed, but Cytharat surprises him by being very eager and/or kinky.


• Alternatively, maybe Cytharat usually keeps a handle on himself during sex and still appears controlled and dignified, but Wrath is so good Cytharat totally looses it.


• There are so many possibilities for angst during the whole Eternal Throne saga. Cytharat seems like a fairly controlled person, but I could see him eventually just greeting his crush/partner Wrath with a big hug or something similar and then being very flustered about it. Wrath could probably need that hug, though, even being a big bad Sith.


• Cytharat and Wrath building some sort of routine on Odessen would be fun. If Cytharat was never on his ship, they haven’t really lived together before this.


• Cytharat and/or Wrath tried to move on after Makeb, since really, they didn’t exactly have much of a romance and then things went crazy and so they never got to follow up (though for Wrath, I’d prefer he dated/slept with OCs to move on, since I actually like most of the canon romances and would be sad if they ended, lol). That other interim relationship is over now or was always just sex, but the other one learns about it and thinks they missed their chance. Lots of mutual pining ensues.


• At first, Cytharat remains friendly with the Alliance, but thinks he has to be loyal to the Empire and following Wrath might just be a repeat of the Darth Malgus debacle (besides, they only kissed once and the fact that he’s still hung up on it is frankly kind of sad). Would love him finally throwing caution to the wind and run to join the Alliance (and possibly also run into Wrath’s arms).


• So, about Cytharat’s redemption: We don’t quite know if it’s only the association with Darth Malgus that got him blacklisted, or if he actually worked with him up to a certain point. This might be interesting, especially considering what that would mean for his reaction to a DS Wrath turning Grey or generally building a new faction. How and why does the staunch Cytharat break from the Empire and become Alliance first?


• I’m also very interested in Wrath. Does the Eternal Throne story make him pivot more light or dark? Does he maybe enjoy the chance to shake off all these shackles and just do his own thing? Does he enjoy being the leader for once instead of the tool or is it daunting to someone who was mostly “guy who punches” up to this point? And how does his relationship with Cytharat play into all this?


• It’s a running gag to the Alliance that Lord Cytharat doesn’t seem to need his quarters because he spends every night in Wrath’s bed. Do they realise how fast they started getting so close or did it creep up on them?


• I love mpreg! Maybe the Force did it, maybe an ancient artefact did it, maybe it’s just Sith Pureblood biology, but Cytharat suddenly finds himself pregnant with Wrath’s baby. How do they deal with it?


• For another take on that, maybe Cytharat comes to Odessen with a five year old kid. Though he himself is still in love, Cytharat doesn't think Wrath still wants him (they only had a brief time together, after all), but he does think he should meet his child and generally learn that he has one. To Cytharat's surprise, Wrath is overjoyed to see both of them. How do they pick up where they left off?


• For Art: Any of the above scenarios would be awesome. I really like Cytharat’s character design, so anything where he is on full display with Wrath would make me happy; and as for Wrath, I’d love to see what design you imagine for him (or even draw your own Wrath from the game if you have one?). I would also love to see Cytharat in traditional/formal Red Sith clothing (I don’t know if something like that exist, but feel free to make up something) with Wrath also dressed up in whatever would be formal clothing to him. On the other hand, Cytharat looking dishevelled after a fight or sex or simply because he was caught in a storm or just stumbled out of bed would be great, too, maybe with an equally dishevelled Wrath looking on with interest? As always, I’m also easy for any pictures displaying physical affection of any sort, so that would be great. Wrath visiting Cytharat while he’s in treatment (hand-touching with the glass of the kolto tank between them?) would be super sweet. I’d also love them kissing/hugging in the debris of Koth’s ship/the jungle of Zakuul shortly after Wrath’s rescue if Cytharat came along.

(I also have a letter dealing with heats, sex pollen and A/B/O, one with smut prompts, one with hurt/comfort tropes, one with mpreg and kidfic prompts, and one for marriage tropes for this couple, in case you're looking for more prompts.)

Mass Effect Trilogy

Male Shepard/Javik
Javik is possibly my favourite companion in ME3 and I love his interactions with Shepard. He’s so abrasive, but the longer you talk to him, the more you realise that the glorious Prothean empire they taught them about when he was born was really already a long lost memory in ruins and he lived his whole life in a total dystopian nightmare, only to wake up to the next apocalypse. I like Default Shepard just fine, but feel free to make him look different and give him a different first name. Paragon, Renegade or Paragade/Renegon (mix-and-match choices) all work, too, though I wouldn’t want a Shepard who is totally irredeemable. I also like Javik having touched the Echo Shard, but would not want him to go through with his plans to kill himself (but feel free to have him stop at the last possible moment). As for the Endings… whichever one you want, as long as Shepard lives somehow, really! I’m not a fan of any of them and I’d also be totally fine with an AU ending or with the Crucible just being a big Reaper-targeting gun. For smut, I prefer bottom Javik. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Javik. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Javik and alpha or beta Shepard (scenarios where only one species has A/B/O or they have A/B/O systems that aren’t completely the same are also fun!).

• I would love for Javik and Shepard to still be out there helping people after the end of the Reaper war. Javik doesn’t really have a place in the new world yet except at Shepard’s side – and him realising that his place being there is true in many ways would be great.


• Javik and Shepard fighting together and being big damn heroes. That’s it, that’s the prompt. Would especially love it if they had complimentary skills, like perhaps a soldier or vanguard Shepard who makes use of the biotic setups that Javik can create, or whatever else you can think of.


• Was there even time for something like romance back in Javik’s day? Or was it all forbidden by their multitude of strict rules to keep people focused? Did people do it anyway? Whether Javik ever had a real boyfriend or not, the man’s definitely dead now (and considering probability, may actually have been one of the indoctrinated people from his ship that Javik was forced to kill). With all that in mind, how does he go about starting a relationship with Shepard?


• What about Shepard? Did he have any romantic entanglements? Maybe he’s just over that break-up with Kaidan or Ashley in ME2 (other former romances are totally fine, too, though), or swore off relationships a while ago for some other reason, and now there’s Javik and suddenly, on the eve of the apocalypse, Shepard wants more.


• Shepard is interested in Javik, but there is an extinction event going on and they’re both twelve flavours of traumatised. But when Shepard recovers after the Crucible incident, suddenly him and Javik have some time and get closer.


• Javik and Shepard tell themselves and each other the fact that they keep falling into bed together is just them letting off steam. It’s definitely more.


• Paragon Shepard (or hell, maybe even Renegade Shepard!) enjoys cuddling, hugging, physical affection in general. Javik needs a little while to get used to it, but finds he’s just as touch-starved as Shepard and really loves it, to his own embarrassment.


• Maybe Javik is the one who is unexpectedly touchy-feely with a partner – after all, Protheans communicate and read through touch. Shepard didn’t think he’d be into it, but he actually totally is.


• Generally, I’d prefer for Javik to have genitalia that is somewhat comparable to humans, whether he's biologically male or intersex. I don’t think it was ever said how Protheans procreate, or how many sexes/genders they had, aside from like one line from Javik that may or may not have been another weird Prothean joke. Three or more sexes/genders or just one, like the asari, could also be options, after all. Javik and Shepard intimately exploring each other would be a lot of fun either way.


• Javik had his trysts with half-opened armour on some military cots back in the day and that’s probably how it went with Shepard at the start, too. It’s really the only sort of sex he knows. Now, after the war, they suddenly have time. Cue Javik getting really flustered/insanely turned on/probably falling even harder (or all of the above) when Shepard decides to spend an evening going really thorough and slow.


• How does the Prothean touch-reading thing work with sex? Maybe Javik is unfailingly good at predicting what Shepard wants him to do in the moment? Maybe Shepard asks Javik to be as vocal as possible to pay him back in kind, since he can’t do the same for Javik?


• Shepard is suffering from PTSD in ME3. Maybe Javik notices through his touch-reading or just context clues and surprisingly turns out to be quite helpful? He must have some strategies to handle it, considering, well, his entire life. Maybe they can also heal together.


• Javik gets hurt on the battlefield, but fights on. This is pretty normal to him as they didn’t have much time for any not totally necessary medical treatment back in his day. To his surprise, after the mission is over, Shepard sits him down in the shuttle (or wherever) for some first aid to hold him over until he can get to an actual doctor. Javik probably gripes that it’s a waste of time/resources, but boy does it not help his crush on Shepard.


• Javik bodyblocking for Shepard or otherwise saving him at the risk of his own health. It’s totally just because Shepard is the avatar of this cycle and not because Javik has a big crush on him.


• If Shepard has one of the firmer personality types (Renegon, Renegade, or even an outspoken Paragon) I could see him and Javik clash often at the start. Their frequent arguments lead to them getting to know each other, though, and they find they have common ground as well.


• The Crucible really is a straight-forward Reaper-killer weapon and the destiny-choice machine was an indoctrination hallucination. Shepard fights through it and uses the weapon and then meets Javik again (maybe collecting a traditional hero’s reward in the form of a kiss?).


• If Javik touches the Shard, he will want to kill himself to be with his crew. I would love for Shepard to either talk him out of it or become the person Javik wants to live for (not the most psychologically healthy thing, maybe, but let’s face it, the bar is low for Javik), and maybe from there Javik can go on to establish a real foothold in the new cycle, too.


• Shepard and Javik building a new life for each other after the war and getting used to peace (something which Javik has never actually seen before and Shepard hasn’t experienced in a while), whether that be on a Spectre ship or in a house on a quiet farming colony.


• Spacer Shepard introduces Javik to his mother (and father if he’s around).


• Shepard and Javik adopting some war orphans and perhaps settling down after the war would be cute. Also, in case you want to go for mpreg, maybe Protheans can get pregnant by any species, like the asari. Shepard is eager to help Javik repopulate the Prothean race (Javik being mpregnant the mammal way or laying eggs both seem equally likely here).


• For Art: An illustration of any of the above prompts would be amazing. Fight scenes would be great, as would be seeing them just chilling together – cuddling up as they sleep (not that they’d admit it), Shepard helping Javik explore the new cycle, watching the stars, maybe visiting the Citadel or some garden colony world or Shepard’s home together (whether that’s where he grew up or some other place with significance for him). I’d also love a picture that shows some small, gentle gesture of affection between them, even as they are both hardened warriors. Them exploring an old Prothean ruin would be interesting, too. I’d also love a picture of them both undressed (not necessarily smut, though I’m not saying no!), contrasting their bodies. What does Javik look like underneath the armour? Does he have wings like some of the collectors?

(I also have a letter dealing with heats, sex pollen and A/B/O, one for soulmate tropes, one for epistolary fic as well as in-universe articles, one with smut prompts, one for marriage tropes, and one with an AU focus for this couple, in case you're looking for more prompts.)


Original Male Character/Javik
Javik is possibly my favourite companion in ME3. He’s so abrasive, but the longer you talk to him, the more you realise that the glorious Prothean empire they taught them about when he was born was really already a long lost memory in ruins and he lived his whole life in a total dystopian nightmare, only to wake up to the next apocalypse. I’d love for him to get a partner with whom he can experience this new cycle. For decisions in the game, I also like Javik having touched the Echo Shard, but would not want him to go through with his plans to kill himself (but feel free to have him stop at the last possible moment). As for the Endings… whichever one you want! I’m not attached to any of them and I’d also be totally fine with modified endings or with the blunt idea of the Crucible just being a big Reaper-targeting gun, if that suits your story better. I am fond of Shepard surviving, but it’s not a must. For smut, I prefer bottom Javik. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Javik. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Javik and alpha or beta OMC (scenarios where only one species has A/B/O or they have A/B/O systems that aren’t completely the same are also fun!).

• Maybe Javik starts dating an OMC who travels with Shepard (either ship maintenance or an OMC companion). If so, that relationship could be developing during ME3. Perhaps they fall into bed together and are immediately head over heels, or maybe it’s something that develops from FWB to something more romantic? Perhaps it’s also a slower, more careful approach that directly blossoms into romance.


• A male drell would be an interesting choice for Javik, especially if they follow the religion of the Enkindlers.


• I could see Javik getting along with krogans (for the battle-ready nature) or turians (for their duty to their state) very well. The quarians pretty much always need all the help they can get, so maybe he ends up with them for some reason and meets a male quarian who interests him. And though he’s suspicious of AIs, perhaps he starts taking an interest in a specific geth unit (another exception to the male category, since they’re genderless, but the Reaper code changed them, so perhaps this unit considers himself male, or decided to go with male pronouns). Then, of course, there are humans. If Javik is stranded on Earth for a bit after the war, there’ll be an abundance of those taking an interest in him.


• Fleshing out the Multiplayer Classes into characters is great, too. We only have their little wiki descriptions, but I’d also be happy for someone who doesn’t match them at all and found his way to the frontlines a different way. Who of that group might appeal to Javik and vice versa? How does he get to know them better? (This group also includes the Awakened Collector Adept, which could be interesting for obvious reasons. I have some prompts for that specific scenario here, if you want some ideas!).


• His boyfriend talking Javik out of killing himself to join his dead crew would be very appreciated. Similarly, Javik being quietly influenced to not do it by this new relationship and only revealing what he had originally planned later would also be interesting.


• Now that the fighting is over, where does Javik go? He doesn’t have a home, probably not even any money. Maybe he can join one of the militaries, perhaps the one his boyfriend belongs to? Or maybe he really wants to do anything else but fighting so he takes another job and meets his boyfriend there, or his boyfriend invites him to live with him. If his boyfriend is someone with their own ship, maybe that’s where he goes?


• How does Javik settle into a world after war? He only knows peace from echo shards. It’s going to be difficult to handle. And what about his boyfriend? How much combat has he seen, what has he lost? Can they lean on each other for this?


• Javik not knowing what to do with himself and helping with the rebuilding somewhere and meeting a random civilian and falling for them would be a sweet twist, too.


• Maybe, when the galaxy has stabilised a little, his boyfriend can take him sightseeing to one of the major worlds or a place that is special to him.


• Has Javik ever been on a date? Was that a thing Protheans did? Was it something they used to do, but didn’t when he lived because wasn’t the time or opportunity anymore? Javik getting to go on a normal date with drinks and a movie or something would be fun.


• Different cultural courting strategies!


• I feel like a species who communicates so much through touch could like cuddling/hugging/general contact. Now, Javik probably wouldn’t admit that, but him latching on to a boyfriend, or his boyfriend figuring out how touch-starved he is and helping out, would be very sweet.


• For Art: An illustration of any of the above prompts would be great. I also like Javik’s design a lot and would love to see him out of armour – not for smut, necessarily, but I’m not saying no! Does he have wings like some of the Collectors? Also, Javik will eventually need to find a set of clothes that is not a bulky armour. Maybe he steals some from his boyfriend? He has a humanoid build, so it might work. Generally, I just want to see him and his boyfriend having a reason to switch into civvies, though. Generally, Javik and his boyfriend visiting the planets of the new species, maybe trying the food, seeing the sights? Or his boyfriend bringing him to a Prothean ruin? Or the boyfriend’s own home? Also would love fluff of the ‘Protheans are touchy-feely’ variety – maybe Javik is a cuddly sleeper?

Male Shepard/Legion
Legion, to me, is one of the best examples of a character that is both totally removed from the human experience, being a hive-mind collective, and yet both relatable and endlessly likable. His attachment to Shepard (the N7 armour piece!) was great from the beginning and their relationship only evolved from there. If you go post-game, please leave both Legion and Shepard alive. Legion getting changed by the Reaper code and/or the Synthesis ending and having to adjust to his new self would be interesting; however, I would also enjoy him ending up as the only geth who is still a collective, perhaps as an alternative to sacrificing his life, since I also find him interesting like that. I like Default Shepard just fine, but feel free to make him look different and give him a different first name. Paragon, Renegade or Paragade/Renegon (mix-and-match choices) all work, too, though I wouldn’t want a Shepard who is totally irredeemable. As for the Endings… Destroy obviously doesn’t really work for a Shepard/Legion romance, unless it’s a Destroy that only takes out the Reapers. The other two are also fine, as long as Shepard lives somehow, really! I’m not attached to any of them and I’d also be totally fine with modified endings or with the blunt idea of the Crucible just being a big Reaper-targeting gun, if that suits your story better. For smut, I prefer bottom and sub Legion. I’ve seen Legion referred to as it, he, or they (in the plural sense, since he’s a collective, or because they have no human gender) and all works for me!

• How does Legion fall in love? Just imagine 1,183 geth programs, all pining for Shepard-Commander... or are they? Maybe this is another situation where there’s inner conflict in the sense that not all of them are certain this relationship is a good idea. When is the tipping point where they reach consensus?


• Shepard wants to romance Legion (look, weirder shit has happened to him, I don’t think this is where he draws the line), but how do you court 1,183 programs crammed into a damaged geth platform?


• On the other hand, if Legion is the one who is trying to pursue Shepard, how does it communicate that? Is it blunt or are geth programs sometimes hesitant or embarrassed, too? After all, we see very clearly in Legion’s personal mission that even before they updated themselves, the geth were not quite as logical as they perhaps believed themselves to be.


• I’m assuming Legion probably doesn’t have any experience with organic romance, or really managing emotions in general (“anger is an organic response”), yet we do see that Legion does feel in its own way. Romance is also a somewhat individual experience – well, individual to the 1,183 geth in Legion, rather than being shared with a yet greater geth hive-mind. Watching Legion work through all that comes with this would be very interesting. How does Shepard help? This type of relationship must be a first for him, too.


• Battle couples are such a favourite trope of mine. Legion and Shepard fighting next to each other, supporting each other, Legion experiencing worry or Shepard being worried about it, I am here for it all.


• Does Legion’s platform have any access points and appendages that might make it possible for Shepard and Legion to have sex? Or maybe something that doesn’t map to the human experience, but works quite well nevertheless? If not, can it get them installed? Does it ask Shepard’s opinion on what should be added to the platform to make their experience pleasurable?


• When Legion uploads the Reaper code, it begins to refer to itself as “I” rather than “we”. However, I doubt it’s now just the same as a human or other organic being. What is this shift that the geth have gone through? How do they deal with it? And how does it influence the relationship between Shepard and Legion? If they were already together, do they have to relearn their relationship? If they weren’t, maybe this is the point where Legion starts feeling confident enough in its personhood that it wants to pursue Shepard?


• If you go for the Synthesis ending, Legion and the other geth immediately experience another shift very quickly after just updating their systems, and so does Shepard (and everybody else, of course). What is it like for Shepard and Legion to suddenly stand on a much more level playing field like this?


• As for all my Mass Effect couples, I just want them to be happy and not dead and maybe just get like a week off or something. What do geth do in their free time? Does Legion have hobbies? I’m sure Shepard wants to know, too.


• For Art: An illustration of any of the above prompts would be great. I’d also love to see a picture of the two of them being sweet with each other. Maybe Shepard can kiss Legion’s head-lamp or they hug or something. The two of them fighting side by side is also always appreciated, they were a good team in-game. I’d also enjoy them having a moment of peace, mid- or post-game. Maybe they hang out on the Citadel together or maybe Shepard takes Legion to a beach somewhere or to whatever he considers home (could be radically different places depending on his origin story).

(I also have a letter dealing with marriage tropes for this couple, in case you're looking for more prompts.)

Mass Effect: Andromeda

Jaal Ama Darav/Evfra de Tershaav
I always thought these two would make a sweet couple. Jaal is very much the quintessential angara with his emotional honesty, whereas Evfra seems unusually closed-off for his kind. Opposites attract! However, they also have a lot of ambitions and skills in common, both being passionate fighters for the freedom of their people. There’s also this conversation (with timestamp at 1:47) of Jaal praising Evfra to Drack, which just sounds like he may have a crush. Whether it’s set before, during, or after the game, it’s all great. For smut, I prefer bottom Evfra. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Evfra. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Evfra and alpha or beta Jaal.

• Evfra obviously can’t be on the frontlines all that often since he’s running the Resistance, but we do see that he goes out to fight sometimes, like at the end of the game, and he’s known for being good at it. Jaal and him kicking some ass together would be great.


• Evfra and Jaal going out to some of the planets the new map established and finding old angaran worlds would be cool. Or maybe Jaal just taking him to an especially beautiful, newly rediscovered place! It would be very nice for Evfra to get out a little.


• The angara pushing the kett back in some place and Jaal, who helps at the front lines with Evfra, proving to Evfra how much he has learned in his time with the Pathfinder (and making Evfra’s crush on him that much worse).


• Jaal being with the Pathfinder will obviously make Evfra pay more attention to him. He always figured that he was a very capable soldier (he even calls him his best in one conversation in the game), but now Jaal is showing other talents, too. Naturally, Evfra starts to work more closely with him and suddenly they spend time together...


• Evfra is well aware Jaal has a crush on him, but he’s likely at least 10 years older and has a lot of baggage, so he doesn’t think he’s the right person for Jaal. However, Jaal is persistent and charming and talented and Evfra isn’t made of stone, no matter what people say.


• Evfra has a bit of a crush on Jaal that he’s not going to tell anyone about, ever, counter to how angara usually act (and perhaps also for the reasons stated in the prompt above). Jaal finds out somehow, anyway, and is quite intrigued.


• Evfra and Jaal, true to the angaran habit of emotional honesty, start sleeping together to let off steam. But what happens when they start pining? Because Evfra might not be so honest about that and Jaal might think it means he’s not interested... how do they manage to get together?


• Angara are wild about family, so I’d love Jaal and Evfra tentatively thinking in that direction if they have been together for a while. There are probably lots of orphans around and I’d love the option of adoption (maybe one kid started following Evfra or Jaal around?), but maybe some angaran males can also get pregnant? Being mpregnant might not help Evfra’s mood, but building a life with Jaal sure would.


• If they’re together before the Pathfinder mission starts (or just sleeping together, but realising how much they miss each other being separated this much), I would love to read about their brief but surely passionate meetings whenever Jaal is back on Aya.


• Evfra is a fairly severe and headstrong guy and maybe Jaal thinks Evfra wants to top and thus leaves that spot to him – which Evfra doesn’t mind at all. He’d just also like for Jaal to fuck him, but it doesn’t seem like Jaal is interested and surely someone like Jaal would tell him, since he’s so open about everything else. Jaal is maybe just suffering from a bit of timidity in front of the leader of the Resistance, or thinking that since Evfra very rarely speaks about what he wants or likes, he should go by his best guess. He in fact would very much like to top Evfra. Can they figure it out?


• I’d love for them to do something light-hearted, like explore a kink together (although if you want some inner conflict, maybe it’s a kink one of them is ashamed about – my go-to suggestion is Evfra wanting to sub or Jaal wanting to Dom and wondering what the other would make of that, but feel free to go for something totally different, too!).


• Jaal finds out that Evfra used to sub to his late husband (and/or perhaps to others) and is very interested. Evfra eventually agrees to teach him. Basically, I really like experienced sub/newbie Dom, so, this is that!


• Evfra may have lost a husband (and perhaps even children) with that family the kett stole from him. I could see Jaal being the first person who reawakens the desire to have a lover and/or a family again. How does he deal with it?


• Jaal is still somewhat unsure of his way in life when he goes with the Pathfinder. I’d love it if becoming more secure in his role also led him to realise he wants to take a shot at dating Evfra (and if Evfra finds this new confidence low-key quite attractive).


• Jaal introducing Evfra to his big family as his boyfriend. Obviously, every angara knows who Evfra is and Jaal even has family in the Resistance, but this would be a very different context. How does Evfra deal with suddenly being swept up in a typical giant angaran family again after shutting himself off for so long after losing his own?


• Jaal and Evfra writing messages and e-mails while Jaal is with the Pathfinder, chatting, videochatting, just having a budding (or established) long-distance relationship.


• Both Jaal and Evfra worked themselves ragged lately. Maybe they get to take a few days off together after the kett have been pushed back?


• Whatever the angaran equivalent of a marriage proposal is! That, and the build-up towards it/what happens afterwards would be awesome.


• For Art: Any of the above prompts would be great, of course. I really like the design of the angara, so seeing the two of them together would just be neat. The two of them working together on something Resistance-related or fighting side by side sounds awesome. I’d also like to see them relaxing, though: Evfra napping against Jaal’s shoulder because he just pulled a 48 hour shift at Resistance HQ; Jaal covering Evfra’s entire bedroom floor in weapon parts while Evfra is watching him while working from the bed; the two of them on one of the old or newly discovered angaran homeworlds or colonies (they’re all so pretty in their own ways).

(I also have a letter dealing with heats, sex pollen, and A/B/O, one with smut prompts, one for marriage tropes, one for pining tropes, one for mpreg and kidfic, one for hurt/comfort tropes, one for epistolary fic and one with an AU focus for this couple, in case you're looking for more prompts.)


Original Male Character/Evfra de Tershaav
Evfra is my favourite character in this game. I thoroughly enjoy how gruff he is and that his guarded personality makes him such an outlier amongst the angara. Yet, the man has dedicated his life to helping his people, shouldered a lot of responsibility, and the few times you manage to dig a little deeper in his dialogue, it’s clear that he cares about them and even starts to accept the outsiders once they have proven themselves. Please give this grumpy guy with the good heart a boyfriend! For smut, I prefer bottom Evfra. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Evfra. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Evfra and alpha or beta OMC (scenarios where only one species has A/B/O or they have A/B/O systems that aren’t completely the same are also fun!). There are some ideas for the OMC below, but feel free to go wild as long as the character isn’t related to Evfra and isn’t underage.

• Evfra is not the most approachable person and people greatly respect, and, as the game suggests, often even fear him. How does the OMC break through his tough shell?


• Or maybe, unexpectedly, Evfra has been in a relationship with someone for a while now, but never really made it public? Would love to see everybody’s reactions when it eventually becomes clear.


• Evfra lost his whole family – perhaps also a husband? It’s very unlikely, but maybe, through some great stroke of luck, that husband is still alive all those years later? But I’m sure this much time in a kett labour camp would have changed him and Evfra must be a much different person now, too, having worked his way up from what seems to have been obscurity to the leader of the Resistance. I would love to see them rekindling their relationship. (If they had other partners in the time in between, thinking the other was dead, I’d like for those not to have been serious relationships.)


• Probably to Evfra’s own surprise, it’s one of the alien newcomers who manages to win his heart. Is it a contact he knows from Kadara or someone else he gets to know on the Nexus?


• However, I'd also love to see an angara as the OMC. Is it a Resistance member, a politician, a random civilian, or maybe even an angara from a newly discovered world which was up to now cut off from the others?


• Evfra enters a political marriage with someone from an important family and figures it will never be more than a marriage of convenience, but then the two actually fall in love.


• Fleshing out the Multiplayer Classes into characters is also always fun. We only have their little wiki descriptions and a handful of voicelines. Who of that group might appeal to Evfra and vice versa? How does he get to know them better? In-game, they were APEX strike teams, but there were angaran characters, too, like the Insurgent and Exemplar. However, I’m also open to a completely original APEX guy.


• I enjoy battle couples, or couples who otherwise work well together in some capacity if your chosen boyfriend for him isn’t into fighting.


• However, I’d also enjoy Evfra getting to take a bit of time off for once with his lover. What do they do to relax?


• Evfra and his boyfriend exploring one of the new places discovered through Meridian.


• Evfra working hard and falling sick/growing exhausted and his lover ushering him home and making him rest; and if Evfra’s sick, it would be sweet if his lover hung around to care for him even with the angaran taboos around talking about sickness.


• Evfra probably hasn’t been on an actual date in ages. I would love for someone to take him out to have a drink or private dinner or maybe watch a movie, just some normal stuff that Evfra probably did in the past but has basically forgotten about by this time.


• Someone is openly flirting with Evfra, which throws him off a little. He’s not exactly opening himself up for contact, after all. Still, we see Evfra doing well with people who put it out there (when the Pathfinder tells him the reason he should let them help is that they get things done, he says “Bold. A little arrogant. Like me.” and doesn’t seem annoyed by it). Maybe he actually agrees to a date, if only to test if the guy means it? And he does.


• Evfra likes karaoke. This is actually canon (well, if Liam’s intel is good, anyway). Maybe his crush/boyfriend can coax him into leaving work be for a while and singing a few songs? Is there a lover’s duet? I don't even mean this in a crackfic way, I just want Evfra to get to have a little fun.


• For Art: Any of the above scenarios would be great. I love the design of the angara in general and Evfra in particular, so chances are I’m already happy about any picture where Evfra appears. I would love to see a picture showing a small gesture of affection between his boyfriend and him – or, if his boyfriend is more obvious about his feelings, maybe a big one, like Evfra getting stealth-hugged from behind. I would also love to see Evfra and his lover on the boyfriend’s home-world, whichever one of the three you want to give him, on the Nexus or in the Andromeda Initiative colonies if his boyfriend is not angaran, or generally in some lush newly discovered place. I’m also very into battle couples, so if his boyfriend is someone who fights, too, that would be a great picture. On the other hand, I would also like to see Evfra relax, so him sleeping against his boyfriend’s shoulder or just hanging out with him half-dressed in bed or eating breakfast or at a bar would be sweet.

Hades

Zagreus/Chaos
I just really like the relationship between these two. Chaos is such a strange entity – unsurprisingly, they are the embodiment of primordial chaos, after all – and Zagreus still manages to relate to them in his own way. The end of their relationship full heart arc, when they tell each other they will miss each other when Zagreus will leave for good, was so cute. I also love that Zagreus is the one who helped Chaos out of their isolated loneliness by dropping by and reconnecting them with their daughter, and Chaos pointing out that Zagreus showed them loneliness isn’t an inevitable fate.

For A/B/O, I like omega Chaos and alpha or beta Zagreus. For pregnancy, I like pregnant Chaos, and for smut I prefer bottom Chaos – that is if you want Chaos assuming some sort of human (or human-ish) body for these purposes, since from the waist down Chaos seems to be mostly half-formed faces so far (I’m also fine with any genitalia for Chaos). I’d also be totally down for weird cosmic sex that escapes human experience, though, where Chaos is the whole of their realm, or Zagreus gets to exploring a body that is mostly composed of unmade reality pieces, as long as they both still get sexual pleasure out of it. Something in between of those two options would also be fun! As a sidenote, I really enjoy size differences, so feel free to make Chaos as big as the other “normal” gods are, or even bigger, considering they’re quite the singular being (with perhaps the power to adjust their size somewhat if need be for smut purposes).

• Zagreus tries to figure out how to ask primordial Chaos out on a date. Maybe he asks Achilles for help? Maybe he tries different things but Chaos doesn’t seem to realise? (Maybe Chaos does realise and is just interested to see what Zagreus will do next and eventually releases him by agreeing to it?)


• Chaos created their children alone. It doesn’t seem like they ever had a romantic relationship with anyone (considering how odd they are, they don’t seem very practiced at relationships with other beings in general). Chaos navigating their way through their first relationship and good-natured Zagreus happily being along for the ride would be cool.


• It always strikes me that in comparison to the other realms and even the House of Hades, Chaos’s realm is really calm and quiet. Maybe now that Zagreus doesn’t feel like he has to hurry out anymore, he enjoys hanging out there and gets to know Chaos better in the process?


• What could threaten Chaos? Greek mythology has a lot of crazy stuff happening, so I’m sure there’s something that might shake even them up, like rogue gods or reawakened Titans. Can Zagreus help? What would fighting alongside Chaos look like?


• Chaos finds a way to leave their realm (without causing destruction by introducing chaos to other, fully-formed realms, that is). Zagreus is happy to introduce them to everybody.


• Chaos flirting with Zagreus through really weird boons.


• Chaos notices that their partner Zagreus is working hard trying to collect more and more darkness, but they don’t know why yet. Eventually, Zagreus reveals the Contractors built him his own sigil with which to visit Chaos.


• Dionysus or Aphrodite notice that Zagreus has a crush on someone or is in a relationship and offer special boons that might help along with that (whether that works out as intended or not).


• Maybe Chaos was curious about Zagreus, but since they are already used to being lonely and didn’t want to miss someone again, they didn’t take it further. Now that Zagreus is staying, Chaos feels more comfortable making their interest known (or at least making Zagreus gradually notice it through general Chaos-esque weirdness).


• Smut would be great! I already outlined a little in the introduction all the unusual ways that sleeping with Chaos could go. Would love to a see an enthusiastic Zagreus experimenting.


• Similarly, it would also be interesting if Zagreus had to figure out if sex is even on the table (I would be happy if the answer were yes, of course). Meanwhile, Chaos might not be quite aware that’s something Zagreus is looking for, since they’re new to romantic relationships, but then again, they did make everything and everyone, so they might eventually happen on that idea. Which one of them makes the first offer?


• Is it possible to have something like the archaic, very weird version of phone sex using either the Cosmic Egg or the Aspect of Chaos Aegis?


• In case you like kidfic, maybe they start a family after some time? Chaos creates something with properties of both them and Zagreus, whether that needs a pregnancy period of some sort or is just kinda formed into existence (maybe Zagreus watches Chaos work on their baby like it’s a sculpture or something). Does Zagreus show their new child off to the family once it is done? Grandfather Hades would definitely be funny. However, I would also love some family fluff with just Chaos and Zagreus, either during the creation period or after.


• For Art: Any of the above prompts would be cool, of course. I also really love the character designs in Hades a lot, so just having a picture of Chaos and Zagreus together in all their glory would be great. I’d also really like a kiss between them. Zagreus fishing in Chaos’s realm while Chaos watches (they like to comment when Zagreus catches something) or even sits next to him sort of cuddling up would be sweet. Also, while this wouldn’t show both characters, Zagreus fondly looking at the Cosmic Egg or showing the Cosmic Shield something would still totally count for me. The underworld denizens also seem to favour portraits a lot, so maybe a portrait-style picture that shows them both together?

(I also have a letter dealing with smut prompts and one for iddy fic for this couple, in case you're looking for more prompts.)


Hermes/Charon
Charon is such a mysterious figure, considering we can only ever infer what he actually says in the game, but Hermes talks enough for the two of them, so I think it really balances out. The fact that they have a working relationship, canonically and in mythology, is also really fun and provides great opportunities for the two of them to meet and get to know each other even before Zagreus’s plight becomes something for both of them to work on. I would love to see anything from when they first started to work together, through their long working relationship, or during and after the events of the game.

For smut, I prefer bottom Charon. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Charon. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Charon and alpha or beta Hermes. Considering it’s not all that clear what is going on under Charon’s robes, feel free to interpret him to be basically just as human-looking as his brothers are, or make him a little more skeletal, or otherwise lean into the cryptid idea as long as he’s still somewhat humanoid.

• How did Charon and Hermes first meet? It must have been quite early into the history of the human world, at least, considering their jobs. Did they at first find each other strange or did they get along right away?


• Maybe Charon and Hermes were developing a romance, but the rift between Hades and Olympus put a halt to that and they had to stop or continue in secret? How did that go?


• Charon and Hermes throwing caution to the wind and getting together despite the fact that Hades and Olympus aren’t on speaking terms would also be great, even if they do have to hide it.


• After Zagreus repaired the rift between Hades and Olympus, Charon and Hermes shock everyone by informing them that they have been together for quite a long while. Alternatively, I would also like for them to start to get used to actually being able to have a public relationship.


• I would also love a (maybe even outsider POV?) story where Zagreus uses his matchmaking skills to get Charon and Hermes together after noticing that the two of them like each other, but for some reason or another have never acted on it. They’ve both helped him, after all, so he wants to return the favour!


• Arranged marriage could be fun here, too. Maybe the two of them marrying is supposed to further strengthen the ties between Hades and Olympus. Hermes and Charon agree, thinking they’ll just stay professional associates, but turns out it becomes more than that. Or, if you prefer, maybe they’ve been together in secret for a long while, anyway, and find it quite amusing to play along.


• Hermes and Charon fighting together (perhaps against reawakened Titans or some other enemy that could scare a couple of gods) would be great.


• I would also like to see some signs of appreciation and affection. Charon doesn’t seem big on words, but maybe if he made Hermes a valuable gift (instead of hording it like... pretty much anything else) Hermes would understand?


• And how does Hermes court Charon? He’s quick-witted, I’m sure he has some interesting ideas.


• Hermes and Charon taking a little time off together would be fun (as long as not too many souls pile up). Maybe Hermes takes a ride on Charon’s boat (even if I’m sure it feels slow to him!), or maybe Charon has the power to be outside of the Underworld for a bit and Hermes shows him around topside?


• I would like to see their first kiss, first time, anything at the start of their relationship. It’s probably not one either of them expected to be in, so how do they handle it? Do they try to resist the temptation for a while or does one/do both of them go for it immediately when they start to develop feelings?


• It starts out as FWB (sorry, professional associates with benefits!), but then they both start pining. Can they figure out they want the same thing?


• Dionysus and/or Aphrodite are highly amused by Hermes’s odd relationship/crush and one/both of them imbue him with some boon to better woo his lover/crush.


• Smut is always appreciated! Hermes is part fertility god, of course, so I assume he’s very good at it (maybe he has some special tricks up his sleeve, too?). What about Charon? Maybe he never indulged, just figuring it was not part of his destiny. Is he worried he won’t be able to keep up? However, I would also love to see a situation where they’re both quite experienced and end up tearing each other’s clothes off for a passionate tryst.


• How could Hermes’s own powers affect their sex life? All that speed-up could definitely be useful, but I’m sure there’s other possibilities, too.


• For Art: Any of the above prompts would be great, of course. I would really like a picture of them on Charon’s boat together, whether they’re driving up or down the Styx with some souls, alone, or just relaxing together with the boat at anchor. Hermes chilling in Charon’s secret boss arena/hoard would also be really cool. Or perhaps Hermes can show Charon an interesting place upstairs, in the mortal realm? Charon against a less underwordly background would be fun to see. I would also enjoy seeing Charon out of his robe, whether it’s so he can take a swim with Hermes or for smutty purposes. Generally, Hermes being a trickster and surprising Charon with a kiss or hug would be very sweet.

(I also have a letter dealing with hurt/comfort tropes, one with smut prompts, and one for epistolary fic for this couple, in case you're looking for more prompts.)
