[cinereously]

Dear author,

I'm so excited to be matched to you or to have possibly piqued your interest! I'm cinereous on AO3, and I hope this letter is helpful to you!

I enjoy reading a very broad spectrum of different genres and love to try out new styles and ideas often so please feel free to be as creative and self-indulgent as you like. I will genuinely enjoy anything. G rating to E, fluff, angst, smut, slice of life, AU...there is very little I don't like. I enjoy slice of life just as much as something plot heavy, and I enjoy a heart wrenching sad story as much as a happy, feel good piece. I'm also extraordinarily open to smut. It's about all I write, so if you are nervous to gift that to me please don't be!

I enjoy background pairings, mentions of past relationships, friendships mixed in with romances, and even how canon character deaths/tragedies can play into the narrative. If you're the sort of writer who enjoys lore or world details I super enjoy that too!

Listed below I've got my likes, DNWs, brief summaries of my pairings and what I like about them, and some plot ideas if you need a springboard. You'll also notice I have fusion concepts listed for all of my pairings. I'm the sort who enjoys mixing and matching what I love. If you have an idea I didn't list with a fandom I'm familiar with then please feel free!

Persona 5

Joker/Kurusu Akira
This pairing is what truly got me into writing fanfic for Persona 5 entirely. I didn't enjoy any of the available pairings the game offered, but I was absolutely fascinated by the idea of Akira's alter ego Joker being a separate entity. I like all kinds of interpretations of this connection as well. I love a good horror angle where Joker is a malevolent force. I also love the idea of Joker being a protector and an agent of kindness towards Akira who is being given very little during the period of the game. Versions of Joker that are purely chaotic and far harder to pin down what his intentions are always create a wonderful air of mystery, and depictions of Joker where he is an entity that doesn't have his own separate body but is simply a mental connection are equally fascinating. No matter what, the supernatural draw of the pairing is golden. Akira having a version of himself that is more confident, sexy, powerful, and mysterious is what truly gets me. It doesn't matter if he fears him, lusts after him, wishes to be him, loves him, simply appreciates him, or all of the above. The complicated factor to it all is what makes it so great. It's an unconventional pairing in almost every way and has limitless interpretations.

Prompts

• More recently I have definitely been leaning into the horror erotica side of this pairing, and I would be so excited to receive something in that direction. What would it be like to have Joker slowly begin fighting for control of his body outside of the Metaverse? What would it feel like to suddenly be unable to control your limbs or your words while your thoughts are still your own and mingled with a strange, darker entity's? Would Joker be too reckless with Akira's human body? Accidentally breaking bones from jumping off of heights he can handle in the Metaverse or foolishly and too confidently walking into oncoming traffic? Would he push his friends away? Ruin his good grades? Would he also explore sexuality being in a body that can experience it for the first time? Masturbation while you can both experience it and not control it would be absolutely mind-blowing to read!

• I'm also a huge sucker for Joker being in a protective, caregiving role. Akira is going through the worst and most lonely period of his life, and I would argue that his friendships can often come across as mercenary in a way. Social links are very centered around the other person and there is a real power based incentive to being there for those people and telling them what they wish to hear. But there are very few scenes that are focused on Akira and what he's going through and how he feels. I love the idea that Joker, this other side of himself given sentience and agency, can give him the companionship he desperately needs. Even if Joker is little more than a silent spectre, simply being there in his quiet and dark moments is important. I still feel that it speaks to Joker's uniqueness in this regard by the way he appears in the first scene of the game. He existed outside of Akira before he ever 'awakened' in the first palace. It truly feels like Joker existed beforehand and was separate from him before fusing later. I'm definitely open to exploration in that grey area!

• Also intrigued by a scenario where something forces them to separate. The idea of Joker suddenly being thrust into the real world and having to deal with a human body and a human existence would be funny and stressful for them both.

• Possible Fusions:
  • The Magnus Archives - As I mentioned, I love a good horror lean, and this pairing lends itself SO WELL to TMA themes. Joker being an entity of some kind makes an awful lot of sense and you can really take your pick: the Stranger, the Web, the Eye, the Hunt, maybe even the Spiral. I'd love to see any of them.
  • Dragon Age - I think they'd fill a mage vs demon/spirit scenario super well!
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines - If you wanted to play around with a Therese and Jeanette dynamic for them I would definitely be eager to see that!

Iwai Munehisa/Kurusu Akira
The first pairing that I fell in love with for P5 was Akira and Iwai. Iwai appeals to me deeply. I could never hope to describe what it is about an older, tired, emotionally rough character that just really does it for me. And to have one who also carries that 'wisdom over intelligence' charm alongside a great passion and knowledge for his craft makes him all the more appealing. To say nothing of the fact that he is a literal dad with all the humdrum domesticity that goes along with that and also has a shady yakuza background to go alongside it. He just ticks so many boxes for me, and I can't imagine he doesn't do the same for Akira. The poor boy is in desperate need of some kind of family support, but also thrives on an edge of danger. Iwai likely needs someone who challenges him and offers him a sense of day to day excitement that he lacks after giving up his past life. I'm also just desperately into their age difference, size difference, and personality differences. (I'm also open to male or female Akira if you enjoy a good genderswap!)

Prompts

• I know it's likely been done a million times before, but I'm really interested in the idea of Akira returning to Tokyo after completing school and going to ask for his old job back at Untouchable. I like to imagine he did it more for Iwai than the money, having pined for him the entire time he was gone. After establishing himself back into Iwai's life I think it would be extremely cute for Akira to introduce the rather tech avoidant Iwai to Youtube asmr craft videos. Iwai doing gun models for a camera is highly erotic to me, and I like to imagine Akira would love watching him do each and every video. Through all the editing, learning, and creating after hours at Iwai's apartment I can't imagine they wouldn't finally give in to that heavy sexual tension between them.
  
  
• I'm a huge sucker for wound care. I'd be thrilled to see a scenario during the story or sometime after where Akira shows up to the shop wounded and in need of help and sanctuary. Perhaps he's still fighting crime as best he can as a young adult, but without his powers it's far more of a struggle day to day? Either way, bleeding on his shop floor and getting tended to by large, rough hands makes me swoon. Even better if Iwai takes him home with him to keep him safe and Akira gets to sleep in his bed.


• I'm also super into smut that, in some way, incorporates Iwai as a gunslinger. If he has a palace, if he's a persona user, or just a big AU set in the Wild West. My man deserves to be the sexy cowboy of his dreams and Akira deserves getting to see him in all of his sexy glory. Even better if this is a female version of Akira. Saloon girl attire would give me heart eyes.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Iwai makes an amazing vampire hunter and Akira makes an agonizingly sexy vampire. Iwai might want to kill him, but he definitely wants to fuck him and know him too.
  • Bully - Iwai would make a sexy shop teacher and Akira would be very good with fiddly engine parts. I'm always intrigued by a hot for teacher scenario.
  • SoulEater - So...hear me out. If Akira was Iwai's gun it would turn the act of cleaning and maintaining the gun super sexy. It would change the nature of gripping the handle, squeezing the trigger, feeling the blast. It would be a relationship of ultimate trust with the mental connection and being battle partners. It's highly intimate and I love it.

Suzui Shiho/Takamaki Ann
I love these two together so much. Ann's very obvious love and regard for Shiho was the biggest running theme in her social link. She loved Shiho in ways she couldn't even articulate. I remember being so excited to be Akira and be there with her through that. Ann is still young and learning about herself and who she wants to be, and Shiho is there trying to shoulder all of her problems alone. Perhaps Shiho has even figured out already what she wants and who she is. She always came off as a very steady character pushed to the limits by her circumstances. It feels like Ann gravitates towards those steady people (like Akira), and I love the idea that Shiho is her rock or center when her personality and dreams are so full of fire.

Prompts

• I am really in love with anything soft and sweet with this pairing. I feel like we know so little about what their relationship looked like prior to the game's storyline, and we definitely don't know what it looked like post-game. I would love to just see some moments of them together. Festivals spent watching fireworks in yukatas eating sweets, shopping together and making out in dressing rooms, early morning outings to have pancakes and go to Dome Town...small moments that really make a relationship. They deserve that every day, faintly domestic romance. And it would also give a closer look into Shiho who we got to see so precious little of.


• I'm also really into the idea of Shiho being into scary movies. I've always sort of head-canoned her with a few more nerdy hobbies like horror movies and video games (which I think is cute since we know Ann likes video games too). I think it would be both fun and sexy for Ann to take Shiho down to the entrance of Mementos to let her see her as a Phantom thief and also experience the absolutely creepy altered train station. The idea of delightfully squeaky, leather bodysuit sex on the floor is A+ to me. And while I'm not really into whipping itself, I think using the whip for sexual purposes is equally hot.


• If you like Phantom Thief Shiho stories I want you to know I absolutely adore that concept too! She deserves to have that confidence and power for change more than anyone. I'm open to any ideas you might have in that department! I especially like her with a shield maiden sort of design.


• I'm also fucked up and would welcome the idea of Shiho possibly not surviving her jump and essentially haunting Ann as a ghost. It would hurt, but it would also allow for painful second chances and coping with everything being so unconvential and strange.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Dragon Age - Like I mentioned with the possible shield maiden design, the thought of Shiho being a warrior alonside a fire mage Ann makes me indescribably happy. Maybe a forbidden templar/mage romance in a tower?
  • Pokemon - I think Shiho as a competitive trainer and Ann as a fashion model would actually be super fun. What if they met because Shiho was doing an advertisement photoshoot for a jersey or something? Maybe Ann's Alcremie takes a real shine to Shiho. Basically I just need cute pokemon and camping.

Kurusu Akira/Suzui Shiho
As is likely pretty obvious, I love Shiho. She's such a tragic character within the storyline and I wanted to get to know her more very badly outside of the lens of Ann. I loved learning that she met Ann by critizing her artwork. She obviously used to be a girl with a lot of confidence, and while a lot of us grow out of some of that as we age, I have to assume that Kamoshida was the majority of the reason she's so meek and reserved when we meet her. Now more prone to introspection and self-doubt in all areas of her life, I think that Akira would be a truly wonderful candidate to help her grow back into herself. They've both been hurt and unfairly punished for things out of their control. They've both had to claw their way back to a semblance of normality and rewrite the scripts of their life.

Prompts

• I would love to see hidden moments. Akira giving his quiet understanding and solidarity to Shiho as she continues to recover after that rooftop scene in Ann's social link. What were their thoughts as Akira carried her up the stairs? Did they keep in touch after she moved? Did they reuinite at some point after Akira himself left Tokyo? These are all questions I'd love to see answered as they babystep their way through courtship. Plus, I think Akira would be very charming as a romantic character. I'd really enjoy him helping her laugh and feel good about herself again.


• As I mentioned under Ann/Shiho, I'm very much open to Shiho as a Phantom Thief! I think it would be incredibly cute and give her a newfound sense of agency in her life after everything. Akira handpicking out weaponry and armor for her as a sign to show he cares for her, sees her, and notices things about her and her interests pleases me greatly. I don't even care what those details might be. Does she like a specific kind of flower and can Akira use his skills to etch them into her armor? Does he find a specific nerd sword for a video game she likes? Akira is the best at silently caring for people and I'd be eager to see that in action.


• I think it would also be very cute if Akira arrived back to his home town and re-enrolled into school only to find out that Shiho had transferred there. Now they are schoolmates and without their old friends, free to get to know one another and fall in love in this sleepy town with little to do and a whole lot to talk about.


• Fusion Possibilies:
  • Ajin - I'd be rather interested in a scenario where Shiho jumps from the roof at a fatal height, but survives, unveiling the fact that she is actually an Ajin. Akira helps her escape capture and they go on the run together living in abandoned buildings and forests. You can take the concept as far as you like or just a single scene of them on the run. It'd be great either way!
  • The Magnus Archives - I think Shiho is absolutely perfect for TMA themes. Is she suffering under the Buried? The Desolation? The Lonely? I would be so here to see a scenario where she comes too close to any of them and, through her own means and help by Akira, survives to tell the tale of it. Or even just a scenario where Akira is an archivist being told her story and maybe walking her home after.

Kurusu Akira/Suzui Shiho/Takamaki Ann
Given I love Ann/Shiho and Akira/Shiho it's no surprise I love this threesome pairing. I am absolutely compelled by the thought of the three of them living together post game and being happy together. The rooftop scene during Ann's social link really got to me. Akira being there for this extremely important moment between them both made it truly feel like he belonged there with them. They trusted him enough to include him, and I want to have them continue to include him every step of the way. And I should mention that I'm down with this relationship with Akira either male or female! Whatever flavor you like best!

Prompts

• Listen, I just want to see them happy. I'm talking movie nights in where Akira makes curry and Shiho makes dessert and they watch sappy romance movies on the sofa together. Festivals in yukatas watching the fireworks and eating all the food. Nights of facials and nail painting and makeup. Traveling together when Ann has photoshoots. Supporting each other through university classes and jobs. Going out clubbing together and tipsily making it home barely in one piece only to have giggly, drunken sex in the living room because they can't make it to the bed. I just want everything and anything!


• Previously mentioned before, but again, persona user Shiho is great! Do they ever go as a team of three into Mementos? Do they playfully drape themselves in the gold and jewels they find in chests? What do they talk about or do when they're resting in the small rest stations along the way? And what happens if one of them is injured? What is that rush to safety like? I'm just dying to know.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Bully - A scenario where Akira is a girl and they all live together in the dorm together would be a lot of fun. Especially if Shiho was getting terrorized by a teacher and Akira and Ann exacted sweet, secretive revenge on her behalf. Also can you imagine the night that Jimmy sets the sprinklers off in the dorm? Imagining them soaked and giggling at the absurdity of it before helping each other get changed and ready for bed a second time is super cute to me.
  • Harvest Moon - I saw a fanart of a HM inspired Shiho with chickens and I've been in love with the idea ever since. Take them away from the complicated terribleness of their life and put them in a happy farm town to come together during a firefly festival or Akira making the best cake they've ever eaten for a cooking festival. Or maybe a typhoon ruined Akira's roof and he/she has to stay over with them for awhile during repairs!

[↑]

Iwai Munehisa/Suzui Shiho
My two favorite non-main characters together! Poor Shiho really needs someone who understands what it's like to be miserable due to outside influences you have no control over. Iwai grew up with a self-destructive only parent and the person he seemed to care for most in the world betrayed him. He would understand that Shiho feels powerless. Shiho, I feel, would have a bravery to her that we don't get to see a ton in the game. She's brave enough to face Kamoshida again and again within the storyline and she met Ann by insulting her artwork. I think she would exude a very well-hidden fire that would attract Iwai to her as a kindred spirit.

Prompts

• I headcanon that Shiho has some nerdy hobbies. It's confirmed that Ann enjoys video games and I've always loved the thought of Shiho being super into gaming too. Especially medieval fantasy escapism. Legend of Zelda, Dragon Age, Fire Emblem, Witcher, etc. So I think she'd be super interested in wandering around Untouchable to admire all the weapons and armor. And Iwai would answer her questions and watch her like a creep like he does to Akira. Maybe it all culminates in him eventually ordering things specifically for her after hearing her make mention of them in passing. I just want them nerding together and being unbearably attracted to one another.


• After everything with Kamoshida, is it possible that Shiho goes even further backwards? Maybe after her hospitalization and her move things just never get any better. She's still plagued by her past and isn't healing, eventually leaving home and going back to Tokyo, falling in with the wrong sort of people, trying to find purpose and meaning in self-destructive ways. Cue Iwai running into her amid the mess she's created and trying to talk sense into her and help her because he's a complete bleeding heart, and he'd care even more after finding out she's associated with Akira. He'd feel all the more pressed to look after her. I'd love to see how that messy beginning could lead to greater intimacy and romance.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Silent Hill - I've been really into the idea of Iwai in a Silent Hill setting for ages. He'd look really sexy weilding a giant pipe and stomping down monsters. I think throwing them into a Silent Hill 4 scenario would be very sexy. Watching Shiho from holes in the wall, trying to reach out and being unable to until finally she's there in hell with him and injured. I really love romance kindling in life or death situations.
  • Dragon Age - Knight Shiho needs armor repairs or a new set made. Blacksmith Iwai enjoys having to take her measurements and they interact with one another more than a few times while he creates it. They talk while he works, Shiho full of questions on what he's doing. Turns out, she's super sweet to Kaoru too despite finding out he's a mage. Plus, seeing her actually fight is hot as fuck. He'll definitely have to make a move.

Bully

Gord Vendome/Jimmy Hopkins
While playing Bully, Gord easily became one of my favorite characters. I'm learning I have a bit of a type. Gord being vain, materialistic, self-centered, and charming is my weakness. The moment he greeted Jimmy the first time with that deadpan 'okaaay' he stole my heart, and I practically followed him around anytime I wanted a kiss power up. The fact that he canonically wants a bad boy and to 'slum' it over dating in his own social circles makes this pairing all the more great to me. Gord is obviously dying to get some kind of excitement in his life and would never be happy marrying some rich girl. (That being said! I do want to make sure I mention that I am A-okay with infidelity and mentions of old flames for this pairing.)

Prompts

• I'm really into future fic for Bully in general. Either them as older teens, college students, or full on adults. I'm highly intrigued by the growth they would undergo or the directions their lives would take based on their choices and relationships. What careers would they have? When would they come together? Would Gord rebel against his father to live the more adventurous life he wants? Would they remain a secret? Would they fight about class differences? Their parents? Their priorities? I want any and all takes you might have!


• Jimmy just needs to take Gord out on a date that involves being an all around bad kid. I want to see them go to a local punk concert, crammed in with too many sweaty bodies and tons of screaming vocals that Gord turns his nose up at. But he definitely doesn't turn his nose up at making out with him in the middle of the crowd. I want to see them eat afterwards at some dingy, sticky all night diner. I want to see them walking in the dark streets with stolen alcohol and talking, maybe even going so far as to throw bricks into the windows of Gord's house just as a fuck you to his father. Maybe they climb town hall to stare out over the city and wind up falling asleep up there on the roof. Just full on teen adventure!


• Possible Fusions:
  • Silent Hill - I just really want Jimmy to have the opportunity to be a true badass and protect Gord. At least until Gord finally gives in to the gross and hard, and rolls up his gore covered sleeves to fight too. Plus, a Silent Hill version of Bullworth would be super interesting to me. It already has such delightfully creepy vibes that I'd love to see the altered landscape.
  • Harry Potter - It's basically the same dynamic, but a scrubby muggleborn Gryffindor secretly dating a snooty pureblood Slytherin is very them. I'd be super interested to hear any takes on the Vendome family, it's magic, legacy, etc.

[↑]

Jimmy Hopkins/Pinky Gauthier
Pinky is my favorite girl in the game. I mentioned in the above pairing that I might have a type. I definitely like a princess. Bratty, spoiled, self-centered, and charming because of it. The very moment Pinky yelled "I. Am. A Princess!!" I was in love. Hook, line, and sinker. I think Jimmy definitely likes it too. He was super quick to accommodate her, and he never once told her no. I can't help but wonder if Jimmy likes a partner who tells him what to do a little bit. Would make sense for a boy who spends so much time putting others into their place! I just love their hundreds of differences. They almost literally come from different worlds, but seem fond of one another all the same.

Prompts

• With Bully, I really like future fic. I want to know what adult Jimmy and Pinky look like. Are they married? Engaged? Hiding their longterm relationship from her parents because they wouldn't approve? Do they both work? What do they do? Has Pinky relaxed or is she every inch the little princess she was at 15? What do they do on a Saturday night? There are 101 possibilities and I love every single one of them. I'd love to see which one you pick!


• Pinky went as a princess to Halloween within the game. If Jimmy attends Bullworth for later years that means they'd experience 2-3 more Halloweens together. I'd love to see what they did to celebrate! Is Pinky a princess again? What is Jimmy when he gets to pick it himself? Would they go out on the town and maybe spend the night in the lighthouse? Go enjoy a Halloween themed day at the carnival? A candle lit dinner in the attic above the girls' dorm?


• Possible Fusions:
  • Harry Potter - The parallels are just too good. Jimmy makes a perfect hot mess of a muggleborn Gryffindor and Pinky is the quintessential pureblood Slytherin meant to marry for status. I'd love seeing all of those perfect plans fall to pieces as the two come together.
  • Dragon Age - I can't help but imagine Pinky as some sort of high ranked Orlesian noble who would create an increasingly difficult set of gift based demands before she'd marry. A bear pelt. Shade remnants. A giant's tusk. A dragon's tooth. Jimmy would fucking do it all with bells on just to prove himself and to impress the most intimidating woman he's ever met.

[↑]

Gord Vendome/Jimmy Hopkins/Pinky Gauthier
I am a simple soul. When I like two pairings with a shared character, chances are I will always smoosh them together. This is no exception. Jimmy is a strong, brave soul and only he would be stupid enough to fall in love with two of the most high maintenance people he's ever met. But I absolutely adore that about him. He never met a challenge he didn't like. It makes all the sense in the world to me that he would choose his partners based on that same need to be constantly challenged. Pinky wants a caregiver who lets her get her way. Gord wants a partner who's a little on the wild side. Pinky and Gord have a very sensible relationship between the two of them that their parents would like, and they would likely get along like wildfire with their shared interests. Everyone wins.

Prompts

• I would be super interested in get together fic set in their later years of Bullworth. Threesome relationships aren't the norm as it is, but it'd be fascinating to see who gangs up on who to bring in as the third party. I'd love to see how they take those first tentative steps into something even more complicated, but also more fun, exciting, loving, and fulfilling. Jimmy seems like he would be the one falling all over himself to make them both happy while they also simultaneously drive him crazy with how frustrating they are. Would Gord and Pinky clash because they both want to be the center of attention? What would their dates look like? I'm here for them figuring it all out together.


• I'd also like a glimpse of them as adults trying to make it work. Have they had kids? Working on it? No plans to even consider it? Did Gord and Pinky get married? Or did they, at some point, throw the middle finger to the world and decide if they couldn't marry together that they wouldn't? Is Gord a lawyer like he planned? How have all three of them changed over the years thanks to the influence of each other? There are just SO many questions I have!


• Possible Fusions:
  • Persona 5 - So...rebellion seems to be a theme for the three of them. Jimmy is obvious. Gord wants to do things his family or station forbids him from doing. Pinky doesn't like being told what to do at all. The three of them would be ripe for becoming persona users with that much willful rebellion in them. What are their outfits and personas?! What bad guys do they go after? Corrupt politicians? Fellow students? Hattrick? Crabblesnitch?
  • Harry Potter - Same as the previous two, I would be super curious to see how their class differences play out in a magical society where it also boils down to blood status and school house. How do Slytherin purebloods Gord and Pinky deal with a Gryffindor muggleborn that they both like to the point of absolute distraction?

[↑]

Duncan/Melvin O'Connor
I'm a really big dnd nerd and so despite his flaws, I was always fond of Melvin. He's ridiculous and living in a fantasy world. And who wouldn't if you were living as a nerd in Bullworth? Knowing that Duncan plays Grottos and Gremlins with the nerds in town even though he's this badass townie always pleased me to death. It would be a gift to see these two extremely different boys having a good time with knock off dnd that leads to something more.

Prompts

• Melvin seems like the sort of DM who falls into roleplaying a lot. I would love to see an encounter where they're in the middle of a normal session but Duncan decides he wants to hit on an npc. It'd be hilarious and a lot of fun to see him frazzle Melvin or just showcase a lot of sexual tension between the two of them. And I think this one could work well both in school and well after it. Tabletop is a great escape from the drudgery of adulthood.


• As with all of my Bully requests, I really love future fic. Seeing my favorite little teenagers grown up and how they've changed and stayed the same is a gift. I'd be fascinated to find out if they're already established together or if they're both going through the motions of adult life and coming together. Maybe Duncan looks for a new GnG game to make working his dull ass job somehow less soul killing. Maybe Melvin runs into him as a cashier in a grocery store or something else. There's lots of possibilities where they could 'meet again' as it were and work off of past history and preconceptions.


• Possible Fusions:
  • I don't have any particular fusions in mind for this pairing, but if you think of one from my list of likes then please feel free! And if you'd like to do a standard DND fusion where they are characters in a medieval society then I'm all about it!

Mandy Wiles/Pinky Gauthier
Mandy was super compelling because she was mean, self-centered, vain, etc but she didn't actually believe in any of it. She was tortured by her deep insecurities that made her front in comparison to Pinky whose confidence was 100% genuine. She believed she deserved the love and devotion of the people around her. I think that dynamic between the two would create a delicious tension. Mandy would hate her and desperately want to be her while also having great respect for her. Bully and high school in general are very cut throat places, especially for girls. I'd like to see them navigate it together.

Prompts

• When Jimmy sneaks into the girls' dorm and the sprinklers go off the two of them would see each other drenched with their makeup running and their hair going frizzy. It would be humanizing and stressful and possibly open up a less antagonistic dialogue between them while they recover themselves. I think it's the sort of thing Mandy would need in order to open up to someone who would likely intimidate her. Maybe Pinky has some expensive hair products and pajamas to share, and she can soothe Mandy and her ego the whole time by constant compliments.


• Future fic would also be wonderful! Even if it's just them as older high school students or them as adults. I'd love to see in what ways they both grow as they age. Or don't grow as the case likely is. I'd definitely be thrilled to see them going to a fancy party as adults, dolled up to the nines and judging every person in sight.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Harry Potter - I feel like Mandy would be one of those rare halfblood Slytherins and would never quite feel like she fits in. Pinky doesn't care about status, only being loved and adored. Plus, I'd be super into some imaginative magical world ideas on the fashion industry and modeling if you're into that sort of worldbuilding.
  • The Magnus Archives - Mandy as an entity of the Desolation would fascinate me! The idea of her going out and destroying anything she deems as more beautiful than her would be incredibly sexy. And the idea of her taking pause, not because Pinky was beautiful, but because she was so sure of herself and confident even in the face of her own destruction. It would be enough to keep her from immediate ruin, and I'd be very into knowing how that might end.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Jeralt Reus Eisner/Seteth
I am utterly in love with the idea of these two together. Seteth is so prim and straightlaced, but obviously perfectly well-versed with having a romantic partner. I can't imagine he's not devastatingly lonely just like Jeralt would be. The thought of Seteth positively vibrating and thirsty every time he so much as passes Jeralt in the halls makes me so damned happy. I wholeheartedly believe that Seteth is a hot mess under his cool, calm facade through years of practice. Plus, maybe Jeralt has a thing for quiet, green haired partners.

Prompts

• I mostly just want to experience Seteth's thirst and pining for Jeralt. I think both of these men are exquisitely attractive in very different ways, and I can't help but imagine that Seteth is here for the big muscles, the scars, the facial hair...so different from his past relationship and definitely distracting him from his duties and his loyalty to Rhea. I want to watch this poor man squirm a bit!


• On the other end of this, I'd also love to see Jeralt developing feelings for the prim, cranky man. Maybe he reminds him of his late wife. I like to imagine him going out of his way to be where Seteth might be, joining him at meals, always finding some sort of question to ask, always up early to be there when Seteth trains with his wyvern. Maybe Jeralt joins him when he fishes to enjoy the silence or finds out that he stars in a story or two that Seteth has written as a prince character/love interest.


• Or maybe Flayn and Byleth decide to set them up Parent Trap style, constantly finding excuses to force them together. I think the scheming and sneaking around would be extremely fun. Their dads both need love, and they will make it happen.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Dragon Age - Trading one medieval fantasy for another, but I'm definitely here for them as a Knight-Commander and a First Enchanter in charge of a tower together. Forbidden love and lots of added dynamics like lyrium, distrust of magic, and a very real audience that would not approve of them together.
  • The Magnus Archives - I think that Seteth would be a super great archivist. I wonder if Jeralt would show up to offer a statement based around his deceased wife or his daughter or just some random oddity he had to deal with. I like the tension of fear, academia, and lust all mixed together.

[↑]

Hilda Goneril/Holst Goneril/Lorenz Gloucester
As with Hilda whom I fell in love with immediately, I was shockingly charmed by Lorenz almost the moment he arrived as well. I love a prince character almost as much as a princess, and to hear the way Lorenz talked and boasted and swanned about made me swoon. They were a match made in heaven if only because they'd fill the roles expected of them effortlessly. It was their relationship to Holst that really made me curious though. Hilda feels crushed by him and his easy perfection and Lorenz wants desperately to even have a taste of it. I think an older and wiser Hilda and Lorenz would realize that what they really want is to be in Holst's orbit. He's painted as such a sweet, strong, loved character and I can't help but imagine a terribly dashing, handsome pink-haired, pink eyed prince whose smile melts even icy hearts. He cherishes Hilda more than anyone in the world it seems and I imagine he'd see similar merits in Lorenz.

Prompts

• The thought of Hilda and Lorenz marrying because they're a perfect political match sounds like common sense. Lorenz wanted a beautiful and refined woman as his wife, and Hilda absolutely fills that role. The idea of the two of them married while Holst is just always around to check on them, cheerlead them, offer advice, etc would be hilarious and also offer opportunity for the two of them to admit that yeah....they both definitely want Holst. Cue operation seduce Holst. I can't imagine it goes perfectly, but as long as it works out for them in the end!


• If you'd rather do an already established version of the three of them that is wonderful. I'd be very curious what their life looks like. Holst is adored by many and is likely the person who gets pulled away to mingle at every single party. Hilda is bright and loves attention, as does Lorenz. I think a night of that would be both fun and exhausting, and maybe they'd have to coddle Holst a little bit if he was overwhelmed afterwards. I think as a duo, Hilda and Lorenz could be very thoughtful.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Vampire Hilda and Holst who have been together for hundreds of years as both siblings and something more might take a liking to Lorenz who is so very human. The way he is so passionate and deluded and principled would be very alluring and how could anyone resist a pair of pink haired immortals when they're determined to have their way?
  • Dragon Age - I think the Gonerils are perfect for Orlesian nobility. A military family no doubt. Holst definitely seems like the sort to be a high ranking member of the Orlesian military, constantly trying to coax his talented but lazy sister into the ranks when all she wants to do is buy pretty dresses and masks and make her own to cause a stir at the next ball. Is Lorenz a part of the Inquisition and a mage? Forbidden fruit? Or better yet, is Lorenz a bumbling and well-meaning Inquisitor that they are captivated by enough to leave their comfortable life of nobility to follow?

[↑]

Holst Goneril/Lorenz Gloucester
Lorenz is so obviously eager to be seen by Holst. The very moment Hilda mentions her older brother Lorenz is buzzing with excitement and begging to be written about in her letters to him. And who can blame him? Holst is referred to in a way that definitely suggests he's adored and capable. Lorenz wants to be him so bad lol. I think the two of them meeting in real life might help take that hero vision glare off. Holst loves his sister and is always encouraging her to grow and try harder, and I can't imagine he wouldn't feel the same for Lorenz. He'd be so smitten by someone who wants to be great and help where he can while also softening his...vain edges.

Prompts

• "He responded that he'd be honored to call you his brother." "Truly?! To have such a valiant brother would be beyond my wildest expectations!" -- I would be so pleased to have Lorenz finally turn up to the Goneril estate with the hope of finally meeting his brother to be and for both of them to see one another for the first time and become smitten immediately. Love at first sight for our overdramatic mayonnaise man. It would be lovely to see this man who the game paints as the 'player' of the Golden Deer to find himself in the position of the pursued and the two of them realizing that brother is definitely not the title they want to share together.


• I'm super open to the idea of fun and unique engagement and marriage ceremonies within this world! Is there a chance that these two could accidentally become engaged or married? Or could they already be an item going through some interesting marriage ceremony? Or an AU where they're in an arranged marriage and meeting for the first time post war?! I'd loooove to see any and all of these!


• Possible Fusions:
  • The Magnus Archives - I'm really into the idea of an epistolary romance between the two of them. Writing back and forth with increasingly romantic and tender feelings over time. I enjoy the thought of Lorenz slowly letting go of his duties and his position and letting his love consume him. All to find out, in the end, that Holst never existed and Lorenz has fallen deep into the clutches of The Lonely or The Web. I like to hurt my own feelings.
  • Bully - Did Holst and Lorenz go to school together? Ambitious, bragadocious Lorenz pining for this older student who embodies everything he hopes to be and achieve would kill me. I think they'd be cute in this modern setting.
  • Dragon Age - I would also be down to see them as mage and templar in an Orlesian circle. Double cute if Holst is impressed Lorenz is proficient with spear as much as his magic!

Caspar von Bergliez/Gatekeeper
So. When I first watched my wife play this game I thought Caspar was a little twerp. Then I played the game. And then I got a good look at him post time skip and my heart honest to god fluttered in my chest. What a fucking glow up. And the more I played and interacted with him the more I had to admit he was actually charming as fuck. I love him. I also love Gatekeeper. I think there are no two characters quite as earnest and genuine and easily excitable in the whole game than the two of them and I would love nothing more than to see the two of them come together like some radiant little excitable goodness bomb.

Prompts

• I would love to see Caspar coming back from battles and just spending a good hour or two giving Gatekeeper a play by play complete with little explosion sounds and mimicked weapon maneuvers for maximum engagement. Gatekeeper would be so excited to hear of his heroic exploits and a beloved tale of triumph over evil. He'd come to look forward to each and every one of these replays. And sometimes when they return they are more haggard and exhausted, bruised and injured, but even amid all of that negativity Caspar would be there, a bright blue beacon with a smile for him. And eventually those battle stories lead to family and friends stories, childhood, hobbies. And one day Caspar returns from battle with a determined glint to his eyes and before Gatekeeper can say a word he's kissing him hard and passionately. He'd almost died that battle and he wasn't going to go another day without telling him how he feels!


• I'd love to see Caspar teaching Gatekeeper how to fight better and how to use different weapons in their free time. He has enough enthusiasm to drown most people, but I think Gatekeeper would just be so eager to learn and have a friend. If this leads to tumbling around the training room floor together all sweaty and laughing and full of happy affection I'd die happy. Them sharing meals, starving after all of that roughhousing and training. Maybe a post-time skip Caspar offers his clothes to him because Gatekeeper is, shockingly, starting to grow out of his clothes after all of this training! There are so many tiny bits I'd love to see between them.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Bully - I think they'd fit right into the Bully universe. Caspar would be the most well-meaning and sweet natured bully ever, all untucked shirt and messy hair, black eyes, and a wild grin. Gatekeeper definitely seems more like a nerd, eagerly playing Grottos and Gremlins and reading exciting books in the library. I'd love to see their romance in this setting!
  • Hades - Gatekeeper as Hypnos. Caspar constantly throwing himself into danger and impossibly optimistic. Gatekeeper would be beside himself watching Caspar sexily walk out of the pool of blood every few hours and eagerly checking his scroll to see what exciting new cause of death he endured before asking a ton of questions. Plus I think a floaty Gatekeeper would make their romantic time alone super fun and cute!

[↑]

Dragon Age

Carver Hawke/Felix Alexius
My love for both of these characters runs deep. I was so mad at the game for dangling a fascinating character like Felix in front of me only to have him gone two scenes later. It was criminal. Felix was so kind, quiet, and somber. And I'm always a fan of good hearted characters from Tevinter. Then there is Carver. I have a definite thing for characters who thirst to prove themselves to the point it makes them assholes and oftentimes hurts them more than it helps them. It's like catnip for me, and I can never overlook him because of that. I feel like together they truly create that soft sweet character meets cranky sourpuss dynamic. Carver desperately needs to be seen and appreciated. Felix desperately needs to be looked after and cherished. I feel like Carver, who did his best to care for his family against the odds and with a sibling who always managed to do it better, never got the appreciation he deserved for being giving and sacrificial. These two both come across like the sort to give away the shirts on their backs and I think it would be so nice to have them exchange together.

Prompts

• A nerdy part of me wants a scenario where Felix, little math lover that he is, is brought out to the astariums to study them, their positioning in relation to the stars, etc as part of his connection to the Inquisition and as thanks to them finding a way to save his life. I've always enjoyed a templar Carver kicking around the Inquisition just given the templars disbanded. It'd be a lot of fun to see him out there being all shoulders and muscles and broadsword fighting bears and setting up tents while smaller, more delicate Felix watches and exists as a delightfully strange mystery to unravel and get to know. Plus camping creates fun scenarios. Maybe it rains and Felix's tent collapses on him during the night! That's okay, Carver is willing to share. Warmer anyway.


• If you're feeling the angst super hard then I welcome it. Is Felix's condition simply slowed instead of reversed after the events of the story? If he's still dying what does that relationship between him and Carver look like? Carver lost his father, his sister, and his mother...and now he finally meets someone who he feels a connection with that is already touched by death, but worse because this one he sees coming. Even so, he can't stay away. What lengths will he go to in order to keep Felix? Would he betray the cause? Dabble in blood magic? Agree to house a demon? I'm always here for a story of falling from grace in the name of love.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Bully - Carver takes on as many odd jobs as he can to help his parents stay afloat. He mows lawns, does deliveries, and once or twice even went swimming in the ice cold waters to find crabs. Eventually he takes on a paper delivery route a few days a week, and one day he sees a boy his age through a window and plows right into the mailbox in his distraction. He goes back again and again, curious, until finally he gives in and chucks pebbles at the boy's window until he opens it. Turns out, the boy has an illness which means he can't go to school. Now Carver goes by every day, eventually helping him sneak out into the world. The two of them fall in love over time in hot afternoons and the secretive, magic created in the wee hours of the morning.
  • The Magnus Archives - I feel like Felix and the Blight are a direct connection to the Corruption. Some sort of insanely creepy, but sexy encounter between the two would be a lot of fun to read. Something similar to the Squirm episode maybe? It'd be fucked, but that layer of fear with the sexual attraction is right up my alley.

[↑]

Cullen Rutherford/Felix Alexius
This one is a recent addition that has taken over my whole brain. If a recovering Felix joins the Inquisition I think that he would be rather smitten with Cullen. He cuts a dashing figure. He's older, handsome, confident, and warm. He basically feels like a prince charming and likely so much more sweet than he's used to having been raised in Tevinter. Cullen, likewise, seems like he would need a partner that he can pour himself into. Someone soft and kind and understanding. All of that being said, I think there would be a faint tension too because Felix is a mage...but barely. He represents something Cullen fears, but in a way he's practically harmless. I think it would be really fascinating to see Cullen grapple with that dynamic.

Prompts

• I think it would be so lovely to see a progression of thoughts and feelings over a period of time within the Inquistion storyline. Meeting for the first time...maybe Felix got lost and wandered into his office. Lord knows that happened to me when I first got there. Meal times. Felix helping with the mages and making Cullen nervous. Catching Felix on bad recovery days when he's weaker and pale and easily frustrated. Vice versa, Felix catching Cullen on bad lyrium withdrawal days and feeling kinship. Felix maybe working with Josephine on budgets and 'spreadsheets', Cullen walking in and by to go to the war room. Maybe Felix even catches Cullen's naked run of shame after Wicked Grace and decides he likes what he sees.


• Does Dorian drag a recovering Felix to the Winter Palace for the ball as his plus one? Does the shyer and more reserved Felix inevitably end up hugging the wall with Cullen to avoid attention? I think it'd be cute to see them complain together and keep each other company in their quieter way. Plus, Felix would get front row seats to all the nobles hitting on Cullen and he can offer a running, witty dialogue on just what he thinks of each one with a rating system and everything. They can get fresh air together after the mission is over and maybe Felix can get himself a dance in.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses - I'd be interested to see a depiction of Cullen in a position like either Byleth or one of the young rulers and bring into play the Ashen Wolves DLC. The idea of Felix possibly never having left the Abyss, nervous about the outside world but enthralled with Cullen and the picture he makes? I imagine there is tons of library time for Felix and watching Cullen train.

[↑]

Frederic/Garrett Hawke
Frederic is so fucking charming it kills me. Every time I am replaying the game and get to the Western Approach I am giddy to go find him again and listen to his nerdy dialogue. He is so passionate and full of childlike glee over dragons! And who can blame him! I LOVE dragons too! He is living the dream. And that his codex entry paints him as this absolutely brilliant man who also seems to forget to check his clothes or comb his hair makes him all the more wonderful to me. I would love to see Garrett Hawke during his time in the Western Approach unable to resist the siren call of dragon nerding.

Prompts

• I think the two of these passionate men would get on like a house on fire doing nothing but babbling about the majestic creatures. Can you imagine how excited Frederic would be after finding out that Hawke rode on the back of one!? He'd be tripping all over himself for details. And if time got away with them and they're still talking well into the night and under the stars there's no reason for Hawke to make the hike back to his Grey Warden friend. Maybe Frederic is lonely and maybe he hasn't had a romantic partner in years. And maybe talking about dragons gets them a little hot and bothered. Enough they decide to spend the night together. If they get off on hearing the dragon roar in the distance who am I to judge?


• I'd be down for a story reimagining where Hawke is a draconologist just like Frederic, though Fereldan vs Orlesian. Rival nerds perhaps tracking down the same dragon across the countryside. Do they maybe both get trapped in the same place while hunting a dragon's whereabouts and have to wait out for help? And if so, what sort of emotions and conversation crop up during that time? And what does Frederic look like under that ridiculous mas- oh no, he's hot!?


• Possible Fusions:
  • Pokemon - I think Frederic suits pokemon wonderfully. You know he and Hawke both would be huge nerds for Dragon types. Maybe Hawke is a trainer challenging the gym leader Frederic? Maybe he treats him to dinner after his victory. And maybe they go on a quest for a legendary dragon type together complete with camping.

[↑]

Frederic/Male Inquisitor
Just as likely as Hawke to be in the Western Approach and listening to Frederic nerd out over his dragon is the Inquisitor! Even better in that the Inquisitor actually does help him with his research rather extensively! They collect things for him, run off enemies, deactivate traps, report the findings...they're practically a full on research assistant to Frederic! I loved that dynamic and that you can exhaust Frederic's dialogue...which I admittedly always do. Talk dragon to me, Frederic. I'm open to whatever race of Inquisitor you prefer! I think they all have their merits and different fun elements to a relationship with him so go wild!

Prompts

• After you defeat the dragon you get to recruit Frederic, and let me tell you, no one is as salty as me that I don't get to see him around the castle afterwards. So I would be more than thrilled to have that rectified. Does Frederic drive everyone at Skyhold insane? Where is he sleeping during his stay? Does he find himself at the tavern most nights chatting it up with Iron Bull about his favorite subject? And if he has a little too much is there a handsome Inquisitor to help him back to his room? What is it like working together? And does an Inquisitor say 'I love you' by handing him a giant dragon tooth?


• If the Inquisitor and Frederic fall for one another during the events of Inquisition, what does a life after Trespasser look like? I can't help but imagine they go out to seek more dragons! Trudging through humid jungle, freezing mountains, and breezy coastlines together would make for a lot of fun, especially knowing it's leisurely instead of under the great pressure of Corypheus. And I giggle to imagine that the Inquisitor tells anyone who listens that he lost his arm to a giant dragon and he was saved by his dashing husband who is rolling his eyes inside his mask.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Pokemon - Again, the connection is too good to overlook! The Inquisitor has saved the world in some form of fashion and along the way has gotten a dragon pokemon all his own. Getting used to a more normal, every day life is tough. Especially when there is an absolute nerd who keeps asking to pet your pokemon and asking you a million questions. Too bad he's also kind of cute.

Crossover Requests
Persona 3/Persona 5

Kirijo Mitsuru/Kurusu Akira
I feel like Akira and Mitsuru would be wonderfully compatible! They both are more quiet characters who handle shouldering responsibility better than their peers. They're both delightfully fashionable and elegant and even their color palettes tend to match. I think Akira could bring some more impish excitement to older Mitsuru's far more corporate driven life.

Prompts

• Would an older, graduated Akira perhaps end up working for Kirijo Group in some capacity? Even if he's just working in their mailroom in addition to a million oher part time jobs? More closely to her as a personal assistant? Or yet more intimately as an advisor/persona user himself that was unique in his ability to use multiple personas and have an altered appearance when summoning them? Whatever the case may be, it'd be great to see something blossom between them in the workplace.


• If you'd prefer a more established relationship between the two I have to admit that one of my favorite headcanons is that they are both the sort to really adore the finer things in life. Clothes, food, accomodations, grooming, etc. I would absolutely love seeing sugar mama Mitsuru spoiling Akira with shopping and fancy date nights and lavish getaways. It would be all the better if Akira makes it up to her in the bedroom and seeing to her every whim there. I love pampering. Softly removing her makeup, applying lotion, brushing her hair, painting nails, massage, cunnilingus...I love all of it.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses - A scenario similar to the three major characters where Mitsuru is the leader of a region with Akira as her close friend and protector?
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Ventrue Mitsuru turning Akira is incredibly sexy to me.
  • Bully - Prep Mitsuru in an arranged marriage meets debonair troublemaker Akira.
  • Dragon Age - At an Orlesian ball noble woman Mitsuru meets a dashing masked bard who warns her of an assassination attempt.

[↑]

Kurusu Akira/Sanada Akihiko
Akihiko was one of my very favorite characters in Persona 3. He is endlessly charming to me. I love how shy and bashful he is. I love how he's a hard worker and passionate and principled. A lot of the things I love about Akihiko, I also love about Akira. Together they'd have a lot in common as well as in contrast. Akira's shyness is in juxtaposition to his confidence. His passion is tempered by his subdued nature and mannerisms. His strong principles are executed through underhanded means. It would be so fun to see them come together because of those shared characteristics, but possibly struggle understanding one another with the differences.

Prompts

• I've always loved the idea of Akihiko working as a police officer and Akira being jailed for some kind of petty crime. The visual of an older Akira who is a little less shy and more comfortable with himself making eyes and flirting with the extremely buttoned up Officer Akihiko through the bars slays me. Akira cheekily asking him out to coffee as he is released and making the poor man blush and be completely unsure of how to react is my jam.


• On a more slice of life note, I think Akira working as a personal trainer at a gym that Akihiko joins is sexy and fun! Akira can hold onto the punching bag and coach him through workouts, the two of them deeply engrossed, sweaty, and excited by progress. Akira shows a definite interest in personal fitness throughout P5, and Akihiko likewise did in P3. Bonding over that shared love of exercise and constant betterment would be both sweet and possibly lead to very sexy scenarios. Showers? Locker rooms? Sharing a walk to the same train stop from the gym? So many fun possibilities.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Dragon Age - Could they be Grey Warden partners who are going into the Deep Roads because they can feel it's time? The perfect time to finally confess some long time feelings and act on them.
  • Bully - Akihiko would make a darling prep boxing champion! Akira working five part time jobs to afford Aquaberry just to get inside to watch sounds adorable.

[↑]

Kirijo Mitsuru/Kurusu Akira/Sanada Akihiko
As expected from the previous two ships, I just really like Akira with both Mitsuru and Akihiko, and as a polyamorous group I think they'd be just as happy and fulfilled. Akihiko and Mitsuru already make a very handsome couple, both so serious and determined. They deserve some more fun in their lives! And Akira may lean towards wanting those more serious partners when his friend group is a bit of a mess and he has little in the way of a support system. They'd be so good for each other.

Prompts

• The Kirijo group definitely did some shadow special operations, and I think Akira being brought on as part of a special task force headed by Mitsuru with Akihiko would be a lot of fun. They each bring an element to the table that could really create interesting dynamics. Mitsuru is corporation savvy and calculating. Akihiko is formally trained due to his police background and passionate. And Akira is more well-versed in crime and cleverness. They could be an absolutely stunning task force together gathering intel, scoping locations, battling shadows, and doing analysis. And if romance occurs? Even better.


• As an almost continuation of that, I'm also very much here for an established relationship between Mitsuru and Akihiko that they bring a younger Akira into. They are older, wiser, settled in their ways but looking for a little more excitement, and Akira brings that in spades. I feel like Mitsuru, as she was in P3, is a natural born leader. I feel she'd carry that to the bedroom too. The idea of her essentially wanting to bring Akira in to enjoy someone bedding Akihiko who has never had the opportunity to enjoy that is very hot and exciting. He's such a shy, romantically unsure character that a more commanding partner making things happen for him while also enjoying herself is A+.


• Or if you'd prefer them to all three be established in their relationship then by all means! Perhaps they all work together as mentioned in the first prompt, and we get to see a single night in their life. A fancy dinner party perhaps? Sex during the party or even just afterwards when they are champagne tipsy and wearing formal attire? These three were made for being well-dressed and elegant together, and I would be thrilled for even a taste!


• Possible Fusions:
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - I feel the vampire aesthetic really works for the three of them!
  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses - Possibly one from each region making them starcrossed? Or just them learning in school together as part of Black Eagles?
  • The Magnus Archives - Akira as a possible entity of the Stranger. Was he always there? When had he become their lover? It's hard to recall. But they love him.

[↑]

Persona 5/Devil Survivor

Kurusu Akira/Minegishi Kazuya
This pairing is the little pool noodle pairing that I will sail into the sunset. I cannot get over how absolutely wonderful these two would be as romantic partners. Kazuya's dialogue options in the game have a range like all silent protagonists, but he is the one protag that I can't imagine as anything but an absolutely hilarious little gremlin with a heart of gold. He just comes across as such an average guy, possibly a bit of a class clown type, with a very 'cool' vibe. He dresses well and confidently without it seeming like he's trying at it. He obviously likes music a good deal, and he has a smartass comment ready for every occasion. Akira, on the other hand, is quiet and serious, but with a very real devilish streak. He likes to cause good-natured trouble and shake things up. He seems like exact sort of person who would steal a candy bar for the thrill and then give it to a little kid he passes by. He likes the adventure and the excitement, and Kazuya would supply so much of that exact thing to his life. Especially a King of Bel Kazuya who is endowed with magical powers.

Prompts

• If you are into worldbuilding and creative landscapes, I would be so thrilled to see Akira and Kazuya (Or Abel if you prefer) go on a Helcation. Akira has been through an incredibly shitty year in the P5 story and if you have a magical demon lord boyfriend who can take you away to exotic, fantasy world type settings in Hel...why wouldn't you pack a suitcase and follow him through time and space? It's the craziest thing he'd ever get to do and Akira would say yes in a heartbeat.


• If you are into writing smut, I love you. Magic used for sex is my kryptonite. Sex floating four feet above the bed? Yes. Magically hot, cold, tingling, vibrating fingertips? The ability to freeze time so Akira can be fucked in a literal crowd of people to please his exhibitionist streak? The ability to change you or your partner into a girl at will for when you're feeling curious? There is just SO MUCH you can do and be as creative as you want. I would die with a smile on my face.


• If you would like a more get together feel, having Kazuya magically show up in the P5 universe is great! I can't imagine it wouldn't be hilarious and absolutely wonderful. He could be one of his classmates or end up being one of the persona users in his friend group. He could work at one of Akira's jobs with him, or just be a super cute boy he runs into at the arcade while playing a few rounds with Shinya. I am in love with all of the ideas!


• Possible Fusions:
  • The Magnus Archives - I am so into this fusion for them, especially a King of Bel. Is Kazuya a strange manifestation of the lonely that inadvertently sucks him in? Is the stranger fucking with them both? Is Kazuya forced into an entity of the Desolation when he becomes King of Bel? How does he pursue a relationship with normal mortal Akira without destroying him? Is he inadvertently attracted to the tragedy of his life? I would eat that up.
  • Vampire: the Masquerade - Recently embraced Akira turns the head of the Prince of the city who may or may not be Abel, the second vampire.
  • Dragon Age - Leader of the mercenary group the Phantom Thieves gets hired on by Inquisitor Kazuya.

Iwai Munehisa/ Minegishi Kazuya
One of Kazuya's biggest fandom pairings is him with Naoya, and I really feel like Kazuya might gravitate to older, overly serious, grey haired men. And I really can't blame him. This pairing has a special place in my heart. Someone as bold, intelligent, and observant as Kazuya would definitely get Iwai's attention. I can't help but get the impression that Iwai is only really interested in someone who challenges and excites him in some way given he enjoys the more forward responses from Akira during his social link. Plus, they have in common exceptionally goofy taste in headgear.

Prompts

• Given Iwai's older age there is no real reason why he couldn't have existed during the DeSu timeline. A civilian with a child during that lockdown would have been an absolute nightmare, but Iwai's yakuza background would help him remain cool under pressure. I also think he would turn out to be an incredible asset to those fighting the demons if it turned out he was capable of summoning. I am a huge glutton for scenarios where characters are exhausted, starving, dirty, cold, but fighting and falling in love amid chaos and discomfort. It just really does it for me. Add in a 7-8 year old Kaoru and it makes everything all the more dangerous. Luckily, if you're sweet on the protagonist you're liable to get a happy ending!


• Given Kazuya's fun headphones I really feel as if he has a deep soft spot for cats. I love the idea of a King of Bel Kazuya popping up in the P5 universe and discovering the cats that hang around Shibuya. There is a quest for Akira where you find out about a person who is torturing cats. I imagine that if Kazuya ran into this person in the act that he would not only be very swift in his punishment, but would also amass himself a tiny cat army. It's also a fun tidbit from the game that Iwai sells little cat armor and outfits. Kazuya bopping into Unstoppable out of the blue with his kitty ear headphones and his high collared cape, leaning down on the counters with a sly grin and asking for all the kitty armor in stock is everything I want. Iwai wouldn't know what to think about a pretty blue haired weirdo looking to outfit a cat army who looks, smells, and feels like magic. It's a chance encounter that could lead to upending his normal little life and I would love to see it in action. Plus the visual of cats chilling in the Shibuya area decked out in armor is hilarious.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Iwai working as a ghoul for yakuza vampires only to be saved by an extremely old and powerful Kazuya. Or hunter Iwai finding the second oldest vampire. That's one hell of a quarry.
  • Pokemon - Iwai with all steel types that runs a bike or tech repair shop would be fun. Especially if hot shot trainer Kazuya shows up in need of some work done.
  • Dragon Age - Blacksmith Iwai and Inquisitor Kazuya finding moments in the upstairs of the forge.

Persona 5/Devil Survivor 2

Hotsuin Yamato/Kurusu Akira
I might have a thing for shipping Akira with older, exciting characters who have experienced the world in similar ways to him. Yamato is a perfect example of shouldering responsibility for something at a young age and doing what is necessary to achieve success. How they both individually achieve this is completely different, but I do feel like they share a core value system of 'sacrifice to achieve' and letting those with strengths shine while they support from the back. Neither values praise or thanks, only results, and I love them for it.

Prompts

• I've always been fascinated by the idea of Yamato showing up in that interrogation room instead of Sae. He works for the government and directly in the business of demons (or shadows for crossover purposes). It would be very interesting to see him be the one to question him about his abilities, how he came into them, what his goals are in doing so, etc. It would be a complete surprise for Akira given his whole plan would be up in smoke with this stranger's entrance. But I like to imagine that Yamato, never one to look away from what impresses him, would inevitably want to help. He could smuggle Akira away to the JPs headquarters and Akira can very swiftly fall for his handsome, ruthless saviour. Besides, I think no one on Earth would fight as hard to keep Akira out of prison as Yamato would. He'd tear anyone apart who thought someone as talented and important as Akira should be behind bars after saving Japan.


• For a more light and fun prompt, Akira simply existing in Yamato's universe and being an incredible, devilishly handsome JPs agent would be wonderful. I can just imagine how amazing he'd be. And Yamato has a competence boner a mile long and would absolutely want to get to know this person who is blowing all of their training out of the water and summoning powerful demons with ease. And Akira is the perfect candidate to help the extremely stern, uptight JPs Chief to let loose and be a normal young adult with hormones like the general population he protects.


• Same as above, if you'd like to put Akira in the DeSu2 protagonist's position and see how that might alter some scenes I'd love that! There are tons of great moments throughout the game that I think would have lots of added flavor and depth with Akira being the one participating!


• And if you want to just write some good old smut then the idea of an incubus Akira showing up and 'torturing' Yamato during his sleeping hours to help him finally experience his own sexuality is something I am 100% here for.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Bully - Prefect Yamato is getting very tired of Akira being so smart and talented while also constantly getting into trouble instead of making something of himself. Possible sexy detention follows.
  • Harry Potter - High ranked prodigy auror Yamato has a new and very exciting young partner who is way too much of a daredevil. Stakeouts, duels, creature wrangling, intriguing detective work, office politics...it's all so great for them!

Hotsuin Yamato/Iwai Munehisa
I am super interested in the idea of these two being related. The pale hair and pale eyes, the inferred extreme strength in smaller frames, and the fact that they share the same voice actor just paints a picture of an estranged uncle and nephew. We know little to nothing about Iwai's background, and I really enjoy the idea that he could be an accidental lovechild of a previous Hotsuin heir. The dynamic of the two being tied in that way but not close due to Iwai's estrangement would create a very enjoyable sort of tension, especially since they are from ridiculously different worlds. But even as simply two people who come together they would be a joy to watch. They have drastically different outlooks on life and priorities, and seeing them work through that or powering through on lust and love alone would be delightful.

Prompts

• Yamato oversees demon activity in Tokyo. Would he make a personal house call over sightings in Shibuya just to see his uncle Iwai? For someone as sheltered and without personal relationships as Yamato, I like the idea that he might tentatively reach out but frame it as work. Maybe they've been getting odd readings that stem from the Velvet Room door near his shop? Yamato can use it as an excuse to reconnect and be extremely startled and blindsided by the fact that he's attracted to Iwai. (And attracted to anyone for the first time at all.) Iwai has likely been lonely for a long time and he can find more and more excuses to spend time together and show Yamato civilian life before they both slip and fall into something even more intense.


• I'm also open to a scenario where Iwai is just a civilian during the events of DeSu2. I feel like Iwai and his shadier dealings means he has real weapons in his shop which would defniitely come in handy when Tokyo is overrun with demons and looters. I kind of like the idea that one of the missions goes wrong in some way and an injured Yamato stumbles into his shop where Iwai protects him. Afterwards he can help treat his wounds before getting him back to JPs headquarters where Yamato eases his 'no civilians' rule, letting Iwai and Kaoru stay there for safety. Maybe he possibly trains Iwai too who turns out to learn very quickly and is very skilled in observation, weaponry, and hand to hand combat. Yamato loves skill and would find himself in crisis while Iwai seems like the sort to flirt shamelessly once he's decided he likes you. I imagine it will be quite funny to see them dance around for a bit before finally giving in.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Dragon Age - I enjoy the thought of them both being templars. Iwai is definitely the sort to end up working under someone younger than him but being respectful and rather into it.
  • Silent Hill - Maybe something where Iwai is trying to find Kaoru but runs into Yamato in the middle of this fucked up hellscape made to torture them. They're both absolute badasses and deserve to shine here.
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Iwai as a vampire hunter is incredibly sexy, and Yamato as a vampire could create either a sexy, antagonistic relationship or a painful one if he is his nephew who was turned and he doesn't have the heart to kill him.

Iwai Munehisa/Kuze Hibiki
There is something very satisfying about a sweet tempered, tiny, curly haired Hibiki with older, serious, grey haired Iwai. Their dynamic is exactly what I enjoy and I especially love this pairing with a genderswapped female Hibiki! The size difference and aesthetic of the two of them really does it for me. Iwai needs some one fun loving and brave and beautiful in his life. And Hibiki seems like they'd enjoy the challenge!

Prompts

• Given his age there is very little reason why Iwai wouldn't have been present during the events of DeSu2. Seeing him as a civilian with Kaoru that's just trying to survive through the apocalypse is very sexy to me. Ending up as part of the team helping fight the septentriones and constantly worrying about his son while also finding that he likes Hibiki would be an absolutely great read.


• I would also be invested to see Hibiki in Iwai's timeline. Would Hibiki be a student at Shujin with Akira? Would they be a part of the Phantom Thieves? And if so, I'd be thrilled to find out what their persona and outfit would be. Or an adult who works in Shibuya at one of the shops Iwai frequents? I think there are a lot of different ways Hibiki could be added to that world and I'm here for all of them!


• For this pairing in particular I'm extremely into genderswapped Hibiki and pregnancy. The idea of Iwai getting to actually experience the part of parenthood he never got to would be so lovely. This man loves Kaoru so very much and it breaks my heart he missed out on his entire infancy. Plus I just want him to be happy and in close to a little family as he can have with Hibiki and his son and his second child.


• Possible Fusions:
  • Dragon Age - The idea of runaway apostate Hibiki inevitably finding herself in Haven right as the events are beginning would be lovely. Especially if Iwai worked as a blacksmith in Haven, noticing the signs of magic in her because he'd spent years keeping his secretly mage son underwraps. He could offer her a place to stay and let romance blossom.
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Vampire hunter Iwai hesitating to kill a very newly turned and completely confused Hibiki because they tug at his heartstrings is big sexy. Let him fight his nature over a pair of blue eyes.
