1. Pokemon Anime

Ships Requested - Ash/Misty/Gary, Ash/Misty

General Notes: I really like fic that goes into the lore of Pokemon and I also like stuff that explores what it's like to live in the world of Pokemon in a casual sense. I love stuff that's like, an adventure so I'd love it if a romance started to blossom between the characters as they were investigating something (maybe a villain of some kind or a mystery surrounded a rare/legendary pokemon). Exploration of the various regions is also cool! With how they look and their histories and their lore. But I also love the more slice of life stuff, where the characters are having a meal, or travelling or just hanging out. And, of course, there is battling: maybe the focus can be on the two as opponents, as allies in a double battle or just cheering each other on in a tournament/league. If you want to make smut, feel free to age the characters up a little, though it's actually NBD to me if you don't. Also, feel free to have any of the other characters turn up. I love the friendships in this anime! And obviously, OBVIOUSLY, I love the Pokemon themselves. Anything involving biological or cultural lore would be super great, too. 

I can see both of these ships being both full of all that gen one snarkiness and slap slap kiss kiss. And, generally, it would be lovely to see them all interacting with their pokemon.


Tropes: Case Fic: Exploring a strange and mysterious location
  • Maybe Gary is doing research work for Professor Rowan, maybe Ash is doing research work for Professor Cerise, maybe Misty has heard of an awesome water type pokemon she's never seen, before. Or maybe Ash & co have stumbled upon a new place. And the two/three in question head off to investigate. Or other people tag along too! Like I said, I love all of the friendships.
  • Feel free to get a little spooky with this.
  • Maybe someone gets lost somewhere and needs to be found. Could be one of the requested characters or somebody else.
  • I really like a sense of atmosphere, whether you've chosen a forest or a cave or an old house or wherever.
  • It could be a place tied to a legendary or an important figure in Pokemon lore.


Dynamic: Battle Couple
  • They could be fighting about villains together or they could just be doing double battles in a tournament.
  • I'd love to see references to how well the characters do at battling together.
  • Especially if this includes how well their pokemon's attacks go together (eg. Misty's water type pokemon and Ash's Pikachu)
  • But there could also be some bickering while on the battlefield but, ultimately, they pull through and succeed.


Flirting: Bantering and bickering as Flirting
  • Both of these ships are prone to a lot of bickering, lol, and I think it would be really easy for either Gary or Misty to turn that into flirting.
  • But Ash would probably be oblivious until they made their feelings very clear!


Forced proximity: Snowed in
  • I love the contrast between cold snow and being warm and cosy indoors.
  • There can be some little slice of life things with this one. Maybe one of them gets a fire going, maybe one of them boils some water for some tea.
  • Some banter - maybe they're annoyed at being trapped together at first, but they slowly grow acclimatised to it and then begin to realise their feelings.
  • Some hurt comfort: maybe one of the characters is injured or sick and the other character/s have to tend to them.
  • Huddling together for warmth!

Hurt/Comfort: Carrying sick/injured character & Trying to push through and ignore hurt only makes it worse
  • I think any one of these characters would try to work through injury or sickness, and that makes it worse, meaning they need MORE comfort in the end.
  • Any one of these characters being carried because they are sick or injured would also be great.
  • I love all of the trappings of hurt/comfort with sick or injured characters; character being fed, having a wet cloth on their brow, the other character/s not being sure what to do at first and being really worried, vulnerability.


Fandom Specific DNW: Aging up to adulthood, to teenagers is fine, but I'd rather these be sparkling youthful romances. Bashing of Ash's other travelling companions.



2. Original Gen

Characters: Witch living in a seaside cottage, Witch who lives by a mountain lake and her new apprentice

General Notes: This is obviously not a fandom, so I'll just describe some general things I'd like to see. I'd really love focus on the surroundings, their beauty, danger and what it's like to live there. Swerve firmly into horror if you'd like. Or dark fantasy. But you can also opt for day to day slice of life stuff. I'd also really like that.

Tropes: Dreams: Dreams bleeding into reality

  • It could be that the witch is causing it, it could be that she's a victim of it. Or she's causing it and her apprentice is a victim of it.
  • I'd love creepy and strange imagery of what these dreams are like as they seep into reality. Are they dangerous? Are some of them dangerous and others not? How do they interact with the people whose dreams they are?

Ghosts: Unfinished business & Dead characters haunting other characters

  • Is the witch summoning ghosts? Did she do that and then get stuck with a housemate she can't get rid of.
  • Or maybe she's working for a ghost, trying to help them finish their business.
  • Or maybe the apprentice is a ghost and contractually obliged to be her assistant for some reason.

Worldbuilding: How everyday works in sci-fi/fantasy setting

  • What is the witch's life like from day to day? Does she work for people? Is she benevolent? Does she work for certain types of people (e.g only women, for example), does she have familiars?


Magic: Character suddenly gains phenomenal cosmic power

  • The witch gains unimaginable powers. Did she aim for this or was it by accident? Does it mean she's just a much more powerful witch or is she...something else, now?


3. Undertale

Ships: Flowey/Frisk, Mettaton/Muffet

General Notes: I love this game, the general atmosphere of it, the humour, the characters, the feelings, I enjoy it a lot. I think, in general, something I'd love to see is just being in the world of the underground. Just all of the different cool little areas. It's just a cool little world. Of course, post-pacifist ending stuff would also be great, with everyone going on to live their lives after not dying and everything. Feel free to have Frisk be older than usual if you'd like.

Flowey/Frisk I think of as something that builds up over the course of the game, with Flowey's antagonism against Frisk's silent determination. Mettaton/Muffet I actually have no idea but it sounds interesting and strange and hot. Feel free to chose any Mettaton form you'd like, too.


Tropes: Enemies to Lovers: Antagonistic taunts turns into flirty banter & Attempts at manipulation leads to feelings

  • For Flowey/Frisk, this would obviously be extremely one-sided, but I'd love to see Flowey's taunts turn oddly romantic. And Frisk is weirded out at first.
  • For Mettaton/Muffet, they're both pretty sinister, and I could see them butting heads until things get flirty mid-encounter.

TV Tropes: Yandere

  • So I think it's pretty obvious who'd be the yandere in Flowey/Frisk. Maybe Flowey realises that, actually, what they want is to keep Frisk by their side, forever.
  • Possibly both Mettaton AND Muffet could be yanderes. It could end up bloody on both sides.

Captivity: Villain kidnaps character A and character A makes villain's life hell the entire time

  • Flowey traps Frisk, somehow, but doesn't account for how crazy Frisk can drive him without even speaking.
  • Muffet kidnaps Mettaton (maybe she thinks he hurt spiders) but cannot deal with his...everything.

 Sex tropes: Monsterfucking - Unusual bodies/genitalia

  • Muffet is a spider lady and Mettaton is a robot that is either pretty man-shaped or just a rectangle. So...whatever you'd like to do here. Go nuts.
  • I don't know what you can do with a flower but, again, please go for it.

Okay, I hope that's been helpful! I'm sure I'll love whatever you do (unless you hit a DNW, obvi). I'll see you on the flipside.
