Dear Yuletide Writer,

Hello, and thank you in advance for writing for me! May your Yuletide be joyful and your words flow easy :)

I’m nemali over on AO3 - feel free to check out either my works and/or my bookmarks.

I’m just gonna be upfront and say that I’m super obsessed with all the fandoms I requested this year, so honestly anything that you write, I’m confident I’ll love. I do have gifts enabled - any treats will be loved and cherished.

If it’s your thing, crossovers between my requested fandoms would be amazing and I would love to read that. All of these prompts are optional, though - if you have another idea in mind, go for it!
No DNWs this year! Go wild!

Requested fandoms:


Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo:


Requested Characters: Shigima Harue, Tono Ayame

Optional Tags: My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I have not been able to stop thinking about this game since I first played it. I am OBSESSED with the idea of the Rite of Resurrection, of the unspeakable things everyone is willing to do to bring back someone that they loved. I also loved the nonlinear timeline in this game, so if you want to try your hand at writing something like that, I would support you all the way. If you want to go the shipping route, I'm a big fan of Richter/Harue.

Optional Prompts:

  • Delving deeper into the specific horror of not knowing whether you've triggered another curse bearer's curse (specifically the showdown between Harue and Ayame)

  • An exploration of any of the other 'bad' endings (I'm a big fan of Harue's Legacy and Ayame's Inspiration). Do you think the Rite of Resurrection genuinely works? What do their lives look like when they've managed to resurrect who they've wanted to - or do they? Ayame, in particular, is interesting here: what happens if she does manage to resurrect Hokusai?

  • A further look at Ayame's family life. Does she consider herself to have any kind of connection to Fumichika, and does she actually believe that she's the reincarnation of his wife? What did her relationship with Tetsuo look like growing up? The standoff between Ayame and Tetsuo was so emotional, and I think about it all the time.

  • Ayame's relationship with Yutaro explored further - what was her take on the car accident that killed Michiyo? What was her perspective on using Yutaro as a means to an end?


Rouge by Mona Awad

Requested Characters: Worldbuilding, Hud Hudson, Mirabelle Nour, Noelle Les Jardins
Optional Tags: My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)
This was my most anticipated book of the year, and it definitely did not let me down. I loved every bit of it: the unreliable narration, the weird beauty cult, the relationship between Belle and her mother.
Optional Prompts:
  • What did Hud Hudson's relationship with his brother look like before and after his brother got involved with Rouge? What was his POV of seeing Belle fall deeper into the cult's hands?

  • The ending with Belle and her mother's jellyfish just about broke my heart. I'd love to see your take on Noelle's POV of her daughter. How did she manage to forgive Belle for nearly killing her? What did it feel like for her to gradually forget Belle in exchange for beauty?

  • Worldbuilding - what exactly is the cult? Do you think they actually manage to steal and eat peoples' souls, or is that just something that's been wildly filtered through Belle's unreliable narration?

  • What the hell do you think was going on with that weird Tom Cruise dude who can come through mirrors?


AI: The Somnium Files


Requested characters: Boss | Kuranashi Shizue, Sejima Saito

Optional tags: My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

For this fandom, DNW anything relating to Nirvana Initiative please! I love love this game so much - another one that I played once and then never stopped thinking about. If you wanna go the shipping route, I'm a big fan of Boss/Date.

Optional prompts:

  • Pre-canon: how does Boss deal with Date losing all his memories, including the ones of her? Post-canon, how does Date deal with being back in his ‘real’ body, which is unfamiliar to him? Or, if you prefer, what about the Annihilation Route? When Boss is dead and Date is implied to just be stuck in her body, how does he cope with that? Established relationship would be a great trope for this - how do you deal with being trapped in the body of the woman you love, knowing that she can never return to it?

  • What was Saito's childhood like growing up with So Sejima as his father? What would changed if he knew of the existence of his sister Iris?

  • Saito POV on being in anyone's body. How did he feel about acting like them? How does he feel about constantly seeing his own body right in front of him and not being able to take it back?

  • An exploration of any of the bad endings


Subnautica


Requested Characters: Marguerit Maida, Bart Torgal

Optional Tags: My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Ah, Subnautica my beloved. I love this game so much. Anything you write that mirrors the atmosphere of the game is golden, in my opinion. Format wise, I think it would be really cool to see something told through recordings, like all the Databanks.

Optional prompts:

  • I’d love to see your take on the relationship between Bart and Marguerit. Canonically, he says that while his father doesn’t take him that seriously, Marguerit actually listens to him and respects his ideas. Why? How does someone as tough as Marguerit feel about being around a kid like Bart? I’d love to see something about the two of them bonding and just getting to know each other a bit - something that would allow Marguerit to see him as more than just ‘that rich jerk’s son’. The relationship need not necessarily be parental; I tend to see Marguerit more as a cool, violent wine aunt. No shipfic between them please.

  • More worldbuilding regarding either Alterra or the Precursors.

  • or if you prefer something horrorish, maybe they find some creepy stuff while exploring the planet? Some guest appearances from a leviathan or two, maybe

  • Some more information about the crew of the Aurora and their relationships with each other

  • AU - what if they manage to survive until Ryley gets to 4546-B?

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker


Requested Characters: Aryll, Tetra, Link's Grandma, Link

Optional Tags: My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

This was one of the first video games I ever played as a kid, and it's very close to my heart. Link/Tetra is a great ship and totally welcome if you'd like to include it.

Optional Prompts:

  • Link and Aryll and Grandma all being a family

  • Aryll POV of her time on the pirate ship

  • Link POV horror on literally anything: controlling the winds; any of the monsters he fights; the general spookiness of any of the dungeons

  • King of Red Lions's backstory/history

  • Ganondorf POV of his goals/history


Xenoblade Chronicles


Requested Characters: Dunban, Carna | Sharla, Fiorung | Fiora, Reyn

Optional Tags: My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I adore this game so much. All of the affinity bonds in Xenoblade are literally my lifeblood. Feel free to combine as many of these as you like. Throw in your favorite tropes! Bonding, found family, hurt/comfort, the sky’s the limit! Ships I like: Shulk/Fiora, Sharla/Reyn, Sharla/Gadolt, Sharla/Gadolt/Reyn

Optional Prompts:

  • I’d love to see Reyn interacting with Juju. What do their lives look like post-canon, now that Colony 6 is rebuilt? How does Reyn approach building a relationship with Juju? Would he try to be like an older brother? Would he ask permission to start dating Sharla? How does Sharla move on and heal from Gadolt’s death - or does she?

  • Your take on the Colony 9 trio - either pre-canon from their days growing up together or something post-canon. How does Shulk feel about the loss of Dickson, of Zanza, of the Monado?

  • What did Dunban's life look like, losing his parents and having to essentially raise Fiora? How did he deal with taking up the Monado and losing his arm, knowing that he isn't the hero everyone wants him to be?

  • Fiora lends herself so well to Body Horror, with the whole 'literally sharing a body with Meyneth' thing. What was it like for her to be trapped in her own body and not be able to do anything about it? How does she feel in her Mechon body - or post canon, how does she feel about the return to her Homs body? Does it feel like hers, or is she once again trapped in a prison of her own making? How does she feel about not having Meyneth's voice in her head anymore - or does she? Does Meyneth keep haunting her post-canon, either genuinely or through Fiora's own warped perception?


Honestly, as long as you have fun with what you write, I’m sure I’ll adore it! I’m just happy to be here :) Thanks again for reading my letter, and I hope you have a great Yuletide!

Requested fandoms:



Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc:

Kirigiri Kyoko/Celestia Ludenberg/Togami Byakuya

This squad is what I like to call ‘the only ones with a braincell’. I love these three so much - all of their individual dynamics are really interesting, and I think putting them all together like this would be a super fun combination. 

Optional prompts:

  • Go into detail with some of their interactions during the trials - would they disagree or grudgingly accept the others’ points of view?
  • Pre-canon, getting together at Hope’s Peak
  • Some kind of AU that utilizes their Ultimate talents - Byakuya loses his money/company gambling with Celeste and he hires Kyoko to help him get it back
  • Soulmate AU! How would the three of them find each other, either during the killing game or before that at school?


Kirigiri Kyoko/Togami Byakuya

These two have impeccable Vibes. I love how cold and emotionless both of them are in canon, though admittedly for different reasons. Normally, I’m used to pairing them up in an ot3 with Makoto, but I think it would be really interesting to have the two of them on their own.

Optional prompts:

  • Byakuya and Kyoko both feeling like outsiders in the group in their own way
  • Byakuya (grudgingly) trying to help Kyoko recover whatever she can of her stolen memories
  • AUs! Heir to the Togami Corporation Byakuya finds himself stuck in a situation where his only way out is by teaming up with the Ultimate Detective


Kirigiri Kyoko/Celestia Ludenberg 

Again, a couple with immaculate Vibes. I always loved how these two interact, especially right before Celeste’s execution when she gives the locker key to Kyoko. And Celeste’s status as Ultimate Gambler combined with Kyoko’s lack of memory means you could arguably say that both of them spend the whole game hiding behind a mask.

Optional prompts:

  • Nighttime excursions to the kitchen for tea
  • AUs!! Detective Kyoko gets sent to take down a gambling ring and meets her match with the Ultimate Gambler.
  • A rewrite of Chapter 3 - what if Celeste had gone to Kyoko with her plan instead of Hifumi?


Kirigiri Kyoko/Naegi Makoto/Togami Byakuya 

The OT3 of all time. I love these three and I love their dynamics, so whatever you do here, I’ll adore. I will say that I’d love to see a bit more focus on the Kyoko/Byakuya side of the triad, simply because I think they’re so underrated and I’d love to see more of them. The one thing I do ask is that this isn’t a V-shaped dynamic - I’d prefer if all three of them were dating each other. How does Byakuya let the other two break down his walls, and how does he feel about that? How does Kyoko feel about letting her guard down around them - or does she not? Is she the Ultimate Detective through and through, constantly on guard?

Optional prompts:

  • Pre-canon, getting together at Hope’s Peak
  • Outsider POV - how does Kyoko’s father feel about the relationship?
  • Post-canon, what do their lives look like? How do they handle their relationship/getting together while they work for the Future Foundation?
  • What do the events of Goodbye Despair look like from their POV?


Aoi & Touko & Yasuhiro & Kyouko & Makoto & Byakuya 

The friendship between the remaining survivors is literally my lifeblood. I think about them all the time. So much angst! So much grief! So much opportunity for whump and healing and hurt! For this, I’d love to see your take on what happens to them post-canon. What does the road to recovery look like for them? How do they help and support each other after the events of the killing game? Do they get their memories of their time at Hope’s Peak back?


Ikusaba Mukuro/Kirigiri Kyoko

Women....I love them. The Vibes...I couldn’t resist this pairing. I really love these two individually - I think they’re such interesting characters with a lot of potential, so I’d love to see what you do with this ship!

Optional prompts:

  • Pre-canon at Hope’s Peak - Mukuro is used to being overlooked in favor of her sister, but Kyoko is one of the only ones to really see her.
  • Canon-compliant - Mukuro (dressed as Junko) decides to spend some time with Kyoko.
  • AUs! The Ultimate Soldier teaming up with the Ultimate Detective!


Harry Potter:

Hermione Granger/Tom Riddle (HP)

These two are the definition of ‘guilty pleasure ship’ for me. They’re so smart, so terrifying, and they are literally so compatible! I think the most likely prompt that comes to mind for this ship is time travel - both forwards and backwards. I would love to see your take on some wacky time shenanigans if that’s the route you decide to go. If not, AUs are also totally my jam! Have them already existing in the same time period. Or something else magical - maybe they’re both curse breakers? Hogwarts professors? 

Optional prompts:

  • Hermione goes back in time to save/defeat Tom while he’s still a student in Hogwarts.
  • Tom, while researching Horcruxes, accidentally manages to teleport himself to Hermione’s time, and is stuck with a bunch of people who want to kill him.
  • Time loops!! Hermione is stuck looping over and over and Tom is the only one who can help her figure out how to break the loop.
  • Soulmate AU! Tom can’t effectively make his Horcruxes without first finding his soulmate. 
  • Tom and Hermione are both professors fighting for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts
  • They both have to serve a midnight detention together.
  • They’re Head Boy and Head Girl and for some unknown magical reason there’s only one bed in the Head Dorm
  • Epistolary!! What if Hermione got Tom’s diary instead of Ginny, and she writes to him?
  • Ghosts!! After the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione thought the worst of it was over, but now she’s being haunted by Tom Riddle’s ghost.


Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure

Higashikata Josuke & Jonathan Joestar

I have no excuse for this - I just fucking love Jonathan so much. The thought of him just being alive and being a good great-grandfather :’) It makes me So Soft. 

Optional prompts:

  • Great-grandpa Jonathan visiting Josuke in Morioh - I’d love some soft family fluff! Do they play video games together? What do they do?
  • Jonathan is alive during the events of Part 4 (either still alive and well because of his Hamon or because Dio turned him into a vampire). How would that change things?
  • Jonathan watching over Josuke as a ghost - what does he think of him?


Higashikata Josuke & Joseph Joestar

It was criminal that these two didn’t get to spend more time together. You could go either way here - some soft family fluff, getting to know each other, or the angst of their fractured relationship. Maybe both?

Optional prompts:

  • Joseph telling Josuke all about his adventures during Part 2
  • The two of them eating squid ink pasta!
  • What would Josuke’s life have been life if he had been raised by Joseph? 
  • Joseph and Josuke prank Rohan together!


Hirose Koichi/Yamagishi Yukako

These two might just be up there as one of my favorite rare pairs. I love how their relationship develops in canon, and I’d love to see that even more fleshed out! What does the process of them getting to know each other look like? How do they handle all the ways they’re changing, with Yukako trying to be less possessive and Koichi gaining courage and learning how to stand up for himself?

Optional prompts:

  • The development of their relationship - what kinds of things do they do together once Kira has been dealt with and they’re safe again?
  • Koichi helping Yukako heal from Aya’s death.
  • Double date with Josuke and Okuyasu
  • Tell me these two would not be PERFECT for a Beauty and the Beast AU!


Jonathan Joestar/Erina Pendleton

I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little bit obsessed with these two. The angst, the yearning, the fact that Erina spent the rest of her life grieving him! And honestly, I’d just love to see them both alive and together and happy. 

Optional prompts:

  • What if these two became vampires in Part 1 along with Dio? Evil or not - either way.
  • How would the events of Parts 2 and 3 change if Jonathan was around? 
  • What kind of grandparents are they to Joseph?
  • Fairytale AUs! I think Jonathan’s nature of wanting to be a gentleman makes him the perfect guy for something like that.
  • What if Erina had Hamon too? How would that change things?


Jonathan Joestar & Joseph Joestar

Grandpa/grandson shenanigans! I think this relationship might be similar to how Joseph’s and Jotaro’s was in part 3, with Jonathan kind of taking on that mentor role. How would Joseph see him - as an ‘annoying old man’ or would he have more respect for him? What kind of things would Jonathan teach Joseph growing up? Does Jonathan see his son George in Joseph? When Joseph does all sorts of crazy shit, does Jonathan urge him to be more of a gentleman? Or is he instead his grandson’s biggest cheerleader?

Optional prompts:

  • Canon divergence - how would the events of Part 2 change if Jonathan was there?
  • Jonathan teaching Joseph Hamon.
  • Jonathan helping Joseph grieve after Caesar’s death - or maybe Caesar doesn’t die?


Jonathan Joestar & Kujo Jotaro

I don’t know if this is very popular any more, but I’m super obsessed with the theory that Star Platinum is Jonathan’s ghost. Like !! he wants to protect his family and get revenge on Dio so much that he comes back as his great-great-grandson’s Stand?? That’s gold right there.

Optional prompts:

  • Outsider POV from Dio’s perspective! How does he feel seeing Star Platinum? Does Jotaro remind him of Jonathan?
  • Vampire Jonathan coming along during part 3 - how does he get along with the rest of the Stardust Crusaders? How does Jotaro feel about both his grandpa and his great-great-grandpa watching over him?


Joseph Joestar & Kujo Jotaro 

More grandpa/grandson shenanigans! I really liked these two’s relationship during Part 3, and I’d love to see your take on it! 

Optional prompts:

  • How do they deal with the fallout from the end of Part 3?
  • The two of them going to visit Polnareff in Italy.
  • Joseph telling Jotaro about Josuke’s existence earlier.
  • The two of them doing something nice for Holly!


Miraculous Ladybug

Chloé Bourgeois/Luka Couffaine/Kagami Tsurugi 

Tell me these three would not be the ultimate power couple. Chloé and Kagami are really similar, what with their brusque personalities and their relationships with their mothers, and I think adding Luka to that dynamic, with his relationship with his father as well as his more easygoing personality, would help them all heal with their similarities.

Optional prompts: 

  • Talking about their family lives and realizing how much they have in common.
  • Luka either playing some music for the other two or teaching them how to. 
  • Identity shenanigans! Create your own Love Square (Love Hexagon?)! Viperion/Ryuko/Queen Bee or any other combination! Add in your favorite tropes! Meet-cute, enemies to lovers, matchmakers Ladybug and Chat Noir helping out - the sky’s the limit!
  • Enemies to lovers - Queen Bee is working with Hawk Moth and Viperion and Ryuko team up to stop her.
  • Adrien and Marinette both matchmaking!


Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug & Plagg

I have to confess - I’m a little bit obsessed with kwami swaps. I love Lady Noire so much it’s not even funny, and requesting this pairing is my way of dealing with that. We also haven’t seen Plagg and Marinette interact much when she isn’t transformed - I’d love to see your take on that.

Optional prompts:

  • How would Plagg react when he found out about what Lila was doing to Marinette?
  • Marinette baking something with cheese for Plagg
  • Marinette and Plagg hanging out with all the other kwamis from the Miracle Box
  • Plagg finding out that Marinette has a crush on Chat Noir, laughing his ass off, and proceeding to give her the worst possible advice known to man.


Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir & Tikki

What would a kwami swap be without the other pairing involved? Mister Bug is super fun, and similar to Marinette & Plagg, I’d love to see Adrien and Tikki interact when he isn’t transformed.

Optional prompts:

  • How would Tikki react at seeing Adrien upset about his dad?
  • Tikki playing matchmaker for Adrien/Marinette or giving Adrien advice for how to deal with his feelings.
  • Adrien baking something for Tikki! (and maybe failing miserably?)


Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug

How could I request Miraculous without these two? Honestly this ship is about 90% of my brainrot at all moments of the day. I don’t even have prompts here - just literally go wild and I’ll eat up whatever you write. Identity shenanigans are very much loved and appreciated, and while I like all sides of the Love Square, I would prefer less of a focus on MariChat and as much as possible on Ladrien.

 

The Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson

Theodora/Eleanor Vance, Theodora & Eleanor Vance

I LOVE these two so much it’s not even funny. Lesbians in a haunted house?? Thanks, I’ll take a hundred. I would love to see your take on their relationship, and if you’re writing from Eleanor’s POV, I’d love to see some of her unreliableness as a narrator captured.

Optional prompts:

  • Theo’s POV of canon events - what do they look like without Eleanor’s unreliableness as a factor?
  • Post-canon - how does she cope after her time at Hill House?
  • Would Theo ever come back to Hill House in search of some last frayed connection to Eleanor?


Luke Sanderson & Theodora 

Luke has always been really interesting to me - the way he has that carefully-cultivated playboy image with a lot going on behind the scenes. I also adore the way these two talk to each other; it’s so witty and quick, in the best way possible. I’d love to see some scenes of them getting to know each other, or maybe reconnecting after the events at Hill House.



Hill House/Theodora/Eleanor Vance, Hill House/Eleanor Vance, Hill House & Eleanor "Nell" Vance, Hill House & None, Eleanor "Nell" Vance & None, Theodora & None

I’d love to see your take for these ships. Is Hill House really haunted? Or is it just a house with some sketchy architecture? Is Nell’s ghost still roaming through the house after her death? What would Hill House look like from the perspectives of Mr. and Mrs. Dudley, or maybe some of the other people in town? What do Dr. Montague and Luke think about it post-canon? What did Theo’s life look like before the events at Hill House?
 
 

 

AI: The Somnium Files

Sagan Iris & Sejima Saito

It was absolutely criminal that these two never properly met in canon (i know he killed her in one of the branches but...like...semantics). Their potential dynamics and interactions could be really interesting and have so much drama - in the best way possible. For this, I’d really just love any interactions, and I’d love to see how you pull it off. What if Iris grew up with Saito? How would that make things different - would she be a little more like him? Would he be a little less likely to kill? Would she have pushed for him to be put on oxytocin so that his killing urges would be suppressed?

Or, alternatively, what if they met in another way? What if, during the events of canon, Date had told Iris about Saito being her brother? What if, post-canon, Iris finds herself haunted by the ghost of her dead brother?


Boss | Kuranushi Shizue/Date Kaname 

This ship...I have such Strong Feelings about them. I never liked Hitomi, and I always thought it was kind of weird if Date got together with her again when he was back in ‘Falco’s’ body, considering it kind of disregards those years he spent as Date. And that part at the end, when Pewter says, “Everything she did, she did for you”? Tell me that didn’t make you feel something!

I’d love to see your take on them, at any stage of canon. Pre-canon: how does Boss deal with Date losing all his memories, including the ones of her? Post-canon, how does Date deal with being back in his ‘real’ body, which is unfamiliar to him? Or, if you prefer, what about the anhiliation route? When Boss is dead and Date is implied to just be stuck in her body, how does he cope with that? Established relationship would be a great trope for this - how do you deal with being trapped in the body of the woman you love, knowing that she can never return to it?

 

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Ingrid Brandl Galatea/Sylvain Jose Gautier

I love this ship so much! Childhood friends who know each other so well and always want to take care of each other...that’s my jam.

Optional prompts:

  • Outsider POV - what does their relationship look like to the other Blue Lions’ students? Or maybe from Byleth’s POV?
  • Didn’t know they were dating!
  • The makeover trope works so well for this ship - Ingrid starts wearing makeup and Sylvain can’t figure out why he suddenly can’t take his eyes off of her
  • Saving each other on the battlefield, or taking care of each other after an injury
  • Arranged marriage - Ingrid’s getting tired of all her annoying suitors so Sylvain offers himself up as an option.


Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd/Byleth 

I will say, these two really snuck up on me. I love the difference between pre- and post-timeskip Dimitri, and the way the role Byleth takes in his life changes to reflect that. I would prefer less of a focus on Edelgard, if that’s all right - I don’t particularly care for her.

Optional prompts:

  • Literally anything hurt/comfort works so well here - Dimitri taking care of Byleth after Jeralt’s death!! Byleth taking care of Dimitri post-timeskip!
  • Sothis POV on their relationship
  • Arranged marriage - the new king and the new archbishop form a union to foster trust in the kingdom
  • The other Blue Lions play matchmaker!
  • Pre-timeskip Dimitri being sweet and earnest and desperate to impress the new hot professor.

 

Persona 5

Kurusu Akira/Takamaki Ann, Sakamoto Ryuji/Takamaki Ann, Kurusu Akira/Sakamoto Ryuji/Takamaki Ann

I’m obsessed with this triad and every single variation of it. Ann is my underrated queen, so anything with a focus on her, I will love and adore and cherish with all my heart. Give me them getting together! Mutual pining! Hurt/comfort after Akira gets back from prison! Anything soft and sweet - or angsty if that’s your preference! I just wanna see them all loving each other and getting the nice things they deserve :’). Feel free to add in their friendships with the other Thieves as well - though I do ask for no Akechi, mostly because I kind of hate him lol.

Caroline & Justine & Kurusu Akira 

These three are just so fucking funny, I have no excuse. I really love all the outings that Caroline and Justine make Akira take them on. And the way they squabble and he’s just there like -_- is just so hilarious to me. I’d love to see either one of their takes on an outing - or write your own in a new location!

 

 

Xenoblade Chronicles

 
Sharla/Gadolt/Reyn, Sharla/Reyn, Reyn & Juju

I really love Sharla/Reyn, and I love Gadolt as a character so much that I think adding him to the relationship results in a really interesting dynamic. I’d also love to see Reyn interacting with Juju. What do their lives look like post-canon, now that Colony 6 is rebuilt? How does Reyn approach building a relationship with Juju? Would he try to be like an older brother? Would he ask permission to start dating Sharla? How does Sharla move on and heal from Gadolt’s death - or does she?


Sharla & Dunban, Dunban & Fiora, Reyn & Shulk, Riki & Shulk, Melia Antiqua & Shulk

All of the affinity bonds in Xenoblade are literally my lifeblood. Feel free to combine as many of these as you like. Throw in your favorite tropes! Bonding, found family, hurt/comfort, the sky’s the limit!

Fiora/Shulk

The ultimate childhood-friends-to-lovers relationship! I love love love the pining, the yearning! I really like how this relationship kind of goes against traditional gender dynamics also, where Fiora is the strong one who wants nothing more than to protect Shulk. I’d love to see your take on them - either pre-canon from their days growing up together or something post-canon. What does Fiora’s life look like after she returns to her Homs body? How does she feel about losing her connection to Meyneth? How does Shulk feel about the loss of Dickson, of Zanza, of the Monado?

Ace Attorney

Misty Fey & Maya Fey, Pearl Fey & Misty Fey, Pearl Fey & Maya Fey, Mia Fey & Pearl Fey, Iris & Pearl Fey 

Feys!! I love them So Much, and I have so many Feelings about the Fey Clan. I’d love to see any interactions between them. Getting to know each other better, suffering under the weight of their clan’s burdens, the process of channeling. I’m really obsessed with ghosts, so any way you can throw in the Kurain Channeling Technique would be amazing. Maya and Pearl channeling Mia so they can talk to her! Maya finally getting to speak with Misty! Iris getting to know her sister Pearl after she gets out of jail! Misty seeing her sister Morgan in Pearl!
 

Mia Fey/Diego Armando, Maya Fey & Diego Armando, Pearl Fey & Diego Armando

Diego is my Blorbo. I rotate him in my head around and around all the time, and I’d love to see your interpretation of him. I have so many Miego feels - you could go angsty and canon-compliant or an AU where they’re both alive and happy together. I also love the idea of Maya and Pearl bonding with Diego over their shared love for Mia and all three of them learning new things about her and each other in the process.


Maya Fey & Phoenix Wright, Pearl Fey & Phoenix Wright, Mia Fey & Phoenix Wright

Phoenix is an honorary Fey and I will die on this hill. I love Big Brother Nick taking care of Maya and Pearl, and Mentor!Mia teaching him how to be a good lawyer. Literally go nuts here - pre-canon, post-canon, AUs, your favorite tropes! I will ask for no Trucy, though, please - I prefer focus on the Feys and their relationships with Phoenix.

 

Iris & Dahlia Hawthorne

Ah, Dahlia - the definition of gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. I think the relationship between her and Iris is fascinating, and I’d love to see it explored in greater detail. What was their relationship like when they were living with their father, or before that at Kurain Village? What were Iris’s years at the temple like without Dahlia? What happens to Iris post-canon, and how does she cope with Dahlia’s loss? How did Iris feel about dying her hair red to impersonate Dahlia and finally looking identical to her twin again?

 

Honestly, as long as you have fun with what you write, I’m sure I’ll adore it! I’m just happy to be here. Thanks again for reading my letter, and may your words flow easy, friend :)

Rare Femslash Exchange 2022

Dear Creator,

Hello, and thank you in advance for writing for me! Whether you’re my assigned gifter or just interested in picking up some extra treats, it’s much appreciated :)

I’m nemali over on AO3 - feel free to check out either my works and/or my bookmarks.

I’m just gonna be upfront and say that honestly anything that you write, I’m confident I’ll love (as long as my DNWs are not ignored). I do have gifts enabled - any treats will be loved and cherished.

If you’re looking for some inspiration, keep reading to find some fandom-specific prompts. All of these prompts are optional, though - if you have another idea in mind, go for it!

DNW: smut (implied or fade to black is fine), incest, gore, animal harm, major character death, pregnancy/childbirth, character bashing, infidelity, sad endings, open relationships, A/B/O dynamics

Stuff I like: domestic fluff, bonding, angst with a happy ending, character studies, introspection, mutual pining, found family, established relationship, hurt/comfort, outsider POV, second person POV, missing scenes, love languages, epistolary formats, horror, casual intimacy, 5 + 1 formats, fusion AUs, unreliable narrators, ghosts/hauntings, time loops, soulmate AU, not actually unrequited love, didn’t know they were dating, casual intimacy, flower language

Requested fandoms:


Danganronpa:

1. Harukawa Maki/Kirigiri Kyoko

I actually hadn’t considered this ship before noms opened, but I have to acknowledge that the Vibes are immaculate. They’re both intelligent, capable, reserved, terrifying…what’s not to love?

Also, with regards to the v3 cast…i hate the ending. Apologies if this is really specific, but I’d prefer if the v3 cast were also students at Hope’s Peak, without the whole future/reality thing, and with their given Ultimate talents.
Optional prompts:
  • Something pre-canon from their school days at Hope’s Peak - how would they meet if they were in different classes? How would their friend groups influence their relationship (Kaito, Shuichi, and Makoto)?
  • I’m a fan of takes where all of v3 was a simulation - maybe Kyoko is the one to wake Maki from the simulation?
  • AUs!! Maybe Kyoko is the detective tasked to catch the assassin Maki?

2. Asahina Aoi/Ogami Sakura

These two are so adorable (and totally deserved better!)

Optional prompts:
  • Something pre-canon from their school days at Hope’s Peak
  • The two of them training together - Hina teaching Sakura how to swim, or Sakura teaching Hina some martial arts
  • A rewrite of Chapter 4 - how would things have gone if Sakura didn’t kill herself? Who would have died instead? What would Hina do?

3. Kirigiri Kyoko/Celestia Ludenberg

Again, a couple with immaculate Vibes. I always loved how these two interact, especially right before Celeste’s execution when she gives the locker key to Kyoko. And Celeste’s status as Ultimate Gambler combined with Kyoko’s lack of memory means you could arguably say that both of them spend the whole game hiding behind a mask.

Optional prompts:
  • Pre-canon, with them both at school
  • Nighttime excursions to the kitchen for tea
  • AUs!! Detective Kyoko gets sent to take down a gambling ring?
  • A rewrite of Chapter 3 - what if Celeste had gone to Kyoko with her plan instead of Hifumi?


Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure:

1. Hermes Costello/Kujo Jolyne

I love these two so much. I also adore the whole Joestar family line, as well as their dynamics, so if you find a way to work that in, I would love it.

Optional prompts:
  • The two of them taking care of Emporio
  • Some little slice of life moments in the prison
  • Their alternate universe counterparts - how would their dynamic change in the new world with Jolyne as Irene instead?
  • How would Hermes meeting the Joestar family go?


Bunny:

1. Samantha Mackie/Ava

I don’t anticipate that this will be written about, but I figured I’d include it anyway. This is my favorite book, and the relationship between these two is so fascinating (even more so with the reveal at the end!)

Optional prompts:
  • Post-canon, Sam learning to heal after Ava’s loss (or maybe she doesn’t?)
  • Ava POV, with her thoughts about Sam and maybe Max
  • Outsider POV? What do the Bunnies think about seeing Sam with Ava?


Miraculous Ladybug:

1. Chloé Bourgeois/Kagami Tsurugi

These two have SO much potential. Chloé and Kagami are really similar, what with their brusque personalities and their relationships with their mothers - I think it would be an interesting dynamic to explore.

Optional prompts:
  • Adrien playing matchmaker
  • Identity shenanigans!! Create your own love square!! How would Chloé/Queen Bee interact with Kagami vs Ryuko? Add in your favorite tropes! Meet-cute, enemies to lovers, matchmakers Ladybug and Chat Noir helping out - the sky’s the limit!


Disco Elysium:

1. Klaasje Amandou/Ruby

These two are so interesting, and I’d love to see your take on their relationship.

Optional prompts:
  • The famous hookup scene (no explicit smut please! more so an exploration of their feelings)
  • Post-canon - maybe they both happen to run into each other again?
  • One or both of their POVs during the cover up of the Hanged Man
  • Anything written in the style of the game - give one or both of them their own skills


Ace Attorney:

1. Lana Skye/Angel Starr

I love these two - my favorite underrated pair :’)

Optional prompts:

  • Something pre-canon, when Angel was still a detective
  • Post-canon, when Lana gets out of jail - maybe she reaches out to Angel for help?
  • AUs!! With Angel’s cooking skills, maybe she owns a restaurant and Lana stops by?
  • Ema playing matchmaker? Phoenix and/or Maya stepping in to help?

Honestly, as long as you have fun with what you write, I’m sure I’ll adore it! I’m just happy to be here. Thanks again for reading my letter, and may your words flow easy, friend :)

Holly Poly 2022

Dear Creator,

Hello, and thank you in advance for writing for me! Whether you’re my assigned gifter or just interested in picking up some extra treats, it’s much appreciated :)

I’m nemali over on AO3 - feel free to check out either my works and/or my bookmarks.

I’m just gonna be upfront and say that honestly anything that you write, I’m confident I’ll love (as long as my DNWs are not ignored). I do have gifts enabled - any treats will be loved and cherished.

If you’re looking for some inspiration, keep reading to find some fandom-specific prompts. All of these prompts are optional, though - if you have another idea in mind, go for it!

DNW: first person POV, smut (implied or fade to black is fine), incest, gore, animal harm, major character death, pregnancy/childbirth, character bashing, infidelity, sad endings, open relationships, unequal closed triads, Vs (unless otherwise stated for specific ships)

General stuff I like: domestic fluff, bonding, angst with a happy ending, character studies, introspection, mutual pining, found family, established relationship, hurt/comfort, outsider POV, second person POV, missing scenes, love languages, epistolary formats, didn’t know they were dating, casual intimacy, 5 + 1 formats, not actually unrequited love, soulmate AU

Requested fandoms:

Naruto:

1. Shino/Hinata/Kiba

Ah, Team 8 my beloveds. I love their dynamic so much, and I will literally adore anything you write for them.
Optional prompts:
  • Hinata and Kiba helping Shino deal with some insecurity regarding his jutsu - maybe since people are always kind of weirded out by it, he thinks they will be too?
  • Kiba and Shino either helping Hinata gain some confidence and know her self-worth, or her doing it on her own and them being proud of her
  • Something where the three of them go on a mission together and how they help each other + how their jutsus complement each others
  • maybe some getting together? either some didn’t know they were dating or not actually unrequited love
  • something with Akamaru? maybe he knows that Kiba likes Shino and Hinata, so he takes it upon himself to be a matchmaker
  • outsider pov - maybe the other teams keep trying to speculate what’s up with team 8 and why they’re so close

2. Sakura/Sai/Ino

This was a pairing that I didn’t expect to like so much, but I wrote for them once and now I’m a little bit obsessed.
Optional prompts:
  • Sakura and Ino helping Sai heal from ROOT, whether that be from his trauma or them just helping him be more social and communicate more effectively
  • Sai teaching the other two how to paint
  • anything related to Ino’s flower shop - i adore flower language so much
  • maybe some getting together? either some didn’t know they were dating or not actually unrequited love
  • just some soft fluff - the three of them feel really comfortable around each other and don’t feel like they have to hide anything because they know they’re completely accepted

3. Sakura/Sasuke/Naruto

How could I request poly ships from Naruto without mentioning Team 7? I am kind of particular about this ship though - DNW anything that treats Sakura as less than the other two or implies that they don’t like her as much as each other.
Optional prompts:
  • something post canon maybe, either with Naruto or one of the other two as Hokage and how they all support each other
  • Akatsuki AU? I love the idea of team 7 being so strong and powerful that they’re completely terrifying
  • just something showing their growth and about how much stronger all of them have gotten from the beginning
  • Naruto and Sasuke showing Sakura just how strong she is and how much she means to them - actively fighting against her insecurities

4. Jiraiya/Orochimaru/Tsunade

These guys really snuck up on me. You know that one part in Naruto when they all find each other and fight? TELL ME there’s not some romantic tension there - that was definitely three exes meeting up after years lmao
Optional prompts:
  • something pre-canon about their time together as a team and how they felt about each other
  • Jiraiya and Orochimaru’s thoughts about Tsunade/Dan - or if you prefer, make it so that Dan never was engaged to Tsunade
  • Orochimaru’s thoughts about his teammates - does he care about them more than he lets on?
  • evil AU! Maybe Jiraiya and Tsunade left the village with Orochimaru?
  • maybe something about them seeing themselves in team 7

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure:

1. Dio/Jonathan/Erina

Love love love this ship so much. Again, literally anything you write for them I will adore
Optional prompts:
  • Jonathan and Erina become vampires along with Dio - evil or not, your choice
  • literally anything with them interacting with their descendants
  • Canon divergence - maybe Jonathan and Erina make Dio reconsider how much he hates being at the Joestar Mansion. Would he give up on his plan to get the Stone Mask?
  • just some soft fluff - i just want them to be happy

2. Koichi/Yukako/Rohan

These three are so underrated but I adore them. For this ship, I’m okay if you want to write it as a V instead of a closed triad (mostly because I don’t know if Yukako and Rohan would ever get together, but if you can make them do so, then I will literally give you my first born child)
Optional prompts:
  • Yukako and Koichi modeling for Rohan’s manga
  • Koichi helping Yukako and Rohan communicate more effectively and just be…less mean lmao
  • Yukako and Rohan just showing Koichi that he’s strong and that he means a lot to them
  • double date with josuke and okuyasu?

3. Joseph/Suzi Q/Caesar

I love these three. PLEASE keep Caesar alive I’m begging you
Optional prompts:
  • the three of them getting to know each other at Air Supplena - maybe some missing scenes from canon
  • the three of them as parents/grandparents - how would they interact with Holly and/or Jotaro?
  • canon divergence - how would part 3 be different if Caesar was there?
  • Joseph and Caesar dealing with Suzi not being able to make a decision
  • Lisa Lisa’s perspective on the three of them - she likes Suzi and Caesar, but how would she feel about them dating her son?

Avatar: The Last Airbender

1. Jet/Katara/Zuko

These three are CRIMINALLY underrated. I mean…they all have been hurt by the Fire Nation, they all have a boatload of trauma..they’re perfect together.
Optional prompts:
  • the three of them running into each other in Ba Sing Se
  • forced proximity? something that would allow them to get to know each other without Jet immediately trying to kill Zuko lol
  • Something where Jet runs into the Blue Spirit and Painted Lady - an unlikely alliance, but they’re all fighting for the same thing
  • Jet and Zuko joining Team Avatar

Miraculous Ladybug:

1. Chloé/Luka/Kagami

Tell me these three would not be the ultimate power couple. Chloé and Kagami are really similar, what with their brusque personalities and their relationships with their mothers, and I think adding Luka to that dynamic, with his relationship with his father as well as his more easygoing personality, would help them all heal with their similarities.
Optional prompts:
  • Talking about their family lives and realizing how much they have in common
  • Luka either playing some music for the other two or teaching them how to
  • Identity shenanigans! Create your own Love Square (Love Hexagon?)! Viperion/Ryuko/Queen Bee or any other combination! Add in your favorite tropes! Meet-cute, enemies to lovers, matchmakers Ladybug and Chat Noir helping out - the sky’s the limit!

Hades:

1. Megaera/Thanatos/Zagreus

I love the relationship between these three and the different dynamics they all share. For this one, I’m okay with a V if you can’t quite make a triad work
Optional prompts:
  • Just the three of them trying to balance their relationships with their work life
  • How does Meg feel about the fact that she keeps trying to kill Zagreus? How does Thanatos feel about the fact that he doesn’t?
  • What do Meg’s sisters think about the relationship?
  • I’d love anything that focuses on the Thanatos/Megaera side of the triangle, whether that be platonic or romantic. How does them both liking Zagreus bring them together? Does it test their friendship? Have they liked each other all along, or did they not think about it until now?
  • Zagreus telling them about the surface
  • Zagreus using their companions to summon them to him

Xenoblade Chronicles:

1. Fiora/Melia/Shulk

I will never stop being angry about Melia being done dirty in the game. I mean, she lost her entire family, her home…please, just let her be happy.
Optional prompts:
  • Sharla, Reyn, Dunban, Riki playing matchmaker
  • Fiora and Shulk helping Melia rebuild and restore Alcamoth
  • double date with Reyn and Sharla?
  • some didn’t know they were dating, with Shulk being completely oblivious

2. Sharla/Reyn/Gadolt

I love Sharla/Reyn and Sharla/Gadolt, so it only makes sense to put it all together.
Optional prompts:
  • Something pre-canon - maybe Reyn visits Colony 6 before the events of the game?
  • Canon divergence where they manage to save Gadolt in Mechonis Field - Reyn and Sharla helping him heal afterwards
  • the three of them spending the day with Juju - just some soft family bonding

Honestly, as long as you have fun with what you write, I’m sure I’ll adore it! I’m just happy to be here. Thanks again for reading my letter, and may your words flow easy, friend :)

Yuletide 2022

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Hello, and thank you in advance for writing for me! May your Yuletide be joyful and your words flow easy :)

I’m nemali over on AO3 - feel free to check out either my works and/or my bookmarks.

This is my first Yuletide and I’m so excited. I’m just gonna be upfront and say that I’m super obsessed with all the fandoms I requested this year, so honestly anything that you write, I’m confident I’ll love (as long as my DNWs are not ignored). I do have gifts enabled - any treats will be loved and cherished.

If it’s your thing, crossovers between my requested fandoms would be amazing and I would love to read that. All of these prompts are optional, though - if you have another idea in mind, go for it!

DNW: smut (implied or fade to black is fine), incest, gore, animal harm, major character death, pregnancy/childbirth, character bashing, infidelity, sad endings, A/B/O

General stuff I like: domestic fluff, bonding, angst with a happy ending, character studies, introspection, mutual pining, found family, established relationship, hurt/comfort, outsider POV, second person POV, missing scenes, love languages, epistolary formats, horror (psychological and creature), 5+1 formats

Requested fandoms: 

The Haunting of Hill House

About this canon: a classic gothic horror novel - pretty short as far as novels go.

Requested characters: Eleanor and Theodora (but please add more at your wish!)

This book has a very special place in my heart. Honestly, anything you write that vaguely relates to canon, I’ll love. I really like the relationship between Eleanor and Theodora, so anything that expands on that would be great (in a shipping sense please!) If you’re writing from Eleanor’s POV, I’d love to see some of her unreliableness as a narrator captured. 

Feel free to add other characters as well! I love Dr. Montague and Luke as well and would love to see your take on them.

Optional prompts:

  • something post canon, with Theo and the others coping after their time at Hill House
  • outsider POV, either from the perspectives of Mr. and Mrs. Dudley, Mrs. Montague and Arthur Parker, or one of the other people in town (or Dr. Montague and Luke?)
  • your take on Hill House: is it really haunted? or is it just a house with some sketchy architecture?
  • what happened to Nell after the ending? is her spirit still roaming Hill House, à la “whatever walked there walked alone”? would Theo ever come back?
  • you know that one scene where Nell’s like ‘whose hand was i holding?’ that scene creeped me the hell out and i love it, so anything like that would be much appreciated

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

About this canon: video game available on 3ds, Nintendo Switch, n64 - here’s a full walkthrough video

Requested characters: Link (but please add/remove more at your wish!)

This might be one of my favorite Zelda games. I adore the atmosphere, and how it doesn’t shy away from how dark and creepy it is while still including so many heart-warming moments. Even though I requested Link, I have to admit that in this game a lot of the NPCs actually interest me quite a bit more.

Please don’t ship Link with anyone romantically! I’m a bit of a Zelink purist - but if you can find a way to work that in, that would be amazing!

Optional prompts:

  • a time loop exploring the events of the game from an outsider POV - maybe one of the NPCs in Clock Town?
  • some angst regarding the transformation masks that Link has (the Deku Butler and his son immediately come to mind)
  • some worldbuilding, either about the tribe of Ancients or Majora
  • some character exploration and a deep dive into the Happy Mask Salesman
  • shipping wise, I really love Kafei/Anju and Lulu/Mikau - i’d love to see anything canon-compliant (like missing scenes) or something pre/post canon.
  • if you prefer genfic, literally any of the platonic relationships in this game would be a hit. Cremia&Romani, Cremia&Anju, Link&Tatl, Kafei&his parents, honestly the sky’s the limit!

House of Leaves

About this canon: a (very large) horror book with an unconventional format, a prime example of ergodic literature

Requested characters: Will Navidson (but please add/remove more at your wish!)

This book is kind of ‘you either love it or you hate it’ - I’m firmly in the ‘love it’ camp. I’m a big fan of the unconventional format and structure of the book, especially the way it’s used to mirror themes in the text, so if you do anything like that, I’ll probably love you forever. Also, please do make up completely fake footnotes like in canon. I really like the documentary style in the book, also - my favorite storyline is definitely the Navidson Record.

Optional prompts:

  • Something focusing on the relationship between Will and Karen, either pre, during, or post canon (maybe how the experience with the House has changed them?)
  • a meta analysis of either parts of the book or the entire thing
  • something focusing on Zampano, character study maybe?
  • if you’re in the mood to write some horror, i’d love to see further exploration of things from canon. one thing that has always stuck with me is when Daisy plays the game ‘always’, which sounds suspiciously like ‘hallways.’ an expansion on this maybe?

Subnautica:

About this canon: an open world horror survival video game - here’s a full walkthrough video. Though Marguerit and Bart both canonically don’t actually appear in the game, so if you want to get a feel for their characters + plotline, all you have to do is read these Databank entries on the wiki!

Requested characters: Marguerit Maida and Bart Torgal (but please add more at your wish!)

Ah, Subnautica my beloved. I love this game so much. Anything you write that mirrors the atmosphere of the game is golden, in my opinion. Format wise, I think it would be really cool to see something told through recordings, like all the Databanks.

Optional prompts:

  • I’d love to see your take on the relationship between Bart and Marguerit. Canonically, he says that while his father doesn’t take him that seriously, Marguerit actually listens to him and respects his ideas. Why? How does someone as tough as Marguerit feel about being around a kid like Bart? I’d love to see something about the two of them bonding and just getting to know each other a bit - something that would allow Marguerit to see him as more than just ‘that rich jerk’s son’. The relationship need not necessarily be parental; I tend to see Marguerit more as a cool, violent wine aunt. No shipfic please.
  • more worldbuilding regarding either Alterra or the Precursors.
  • or if you prefer something horrorish, maybe they find some creepy stuff while exploring the planet? Some guest appearances from a leviathan or two, maybe
  • Some more information about the crew of the Aurora and their relationships with each other

Honestly, as long as you have fun with what you write, I’m sure I’ll adore it! I’m just happy to be here :) Thanks again for reading my letter, and I hope you have a great Yuletide!
