FemslashEx 2019

It's femslash season once again, and somehow I almost missed it. As a result, this letter is pretty much entirely copy-and-pasted from old letters. Please don't take this as a lack of enthusiasm, though – this is still one of my favorite exchanges, and I will be thrilled with just about anything you can write for any of my requested ships. I have some prompts below, if you're interested, but I’m not particularly married to any of them. Something you came up with from using my general likes will have me equally excited.

Thank you for your interest in writing for me! I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Persona 4 

I really enjoy the way this series handles slice of life fantasy. The overarching storylines tend to be dark, but life keeps happening around them. This game in particular has such excellent character interactions, both in the main story and in the world. I love the way people show up in each other's social links or hangouts, how they clearly have friendships outside of the main character. There's a lot of potential for fic running adjacent to the game.

Amagi Yukiko/Satonaka Chie

These two balance each other out so well in so many ways. Chie is more obviously brash but is also more aware of societal expectations, while Yukiko is more naturally reserved but cares less about what other people think. The way they can support each other in different areas really appeals to me. I am very much here for dumb tropey fluff for these two. Hurt/comfort after something goes wrong in the TV world, dance practice for LMB, taking care of Muku together, all of that would be great. On a totally different note, I’d love to see what would have happened if Yukiko had tried to run away before the game began. Would Chie try to discourage her, or would she go with her?

Ace Attorney

I think the reason I get so attached to every character in these games is how committed they all are to silliness. Everyone’s got their tragic backstories, and I am a huge fan of exploring those and making them suffer, but in the end no one is above doing ridiculous things. This isn’t to say I’m against more serious fic for this fandom, just that I’d rather not go entirely dark here. I’m also up for background ships, if you’re so inclined. My favorites are Franmaya, Wrightworth, and Klapollo, but I’m up for just about anything that doesn’t break up the requested ship.

Lana Skye/Aura Blackquill

I really enjoy the idea of putting these two together. They're both willing to do absolutely anything for their younger siblings, and while giving them a chance to reinforce that desire might be a bad idea, I'd love to see them get to talk to someone who understands. Maybe they somehow become cellmates and get to talking about their circumstances. I'm also interested in their differences, how Lana became cold to cope with the things she was doing while Aura only gets more manic as she works to save Simon. Do they have trouble relating to each other because of that? How do they work through it? And while their involvement in the series pretty much ends with their arrests, I'd love to know what happens once they're released. Give me them supporting each other as they readjust, as they try to find ways to apply their skills that aren't illegal.

Mia Fey/Lana Skye

The first generation defense/prosecutor ship, these two deserved so much more than what they got. I want to know everything about their “intellectual attraction” in law school, whether they did any of the dumb college cliches or took fun electives together or just commiserated over bad professors. I’d also love an AU where Mia survives and/or SL-9 doesn’t go horribly wrong, and they talk about their respective subordinates and how they’re doing (if you choose to do this and wanted to include background Wrightworth, I would be very pleased).

VA-11 HALL-A

This game has such a good juxtaposition of the grim cyberpunk elements and an overarching sense of optimism. Sure, prices are ridiculously overinflated and people die in horrific ways, but everyone can get a happy ending, and even the "bad ending" just has Jill go to stay with a friend for a while. I'd love to see that blend of themes carry into a fic.

Sei Asagiri/Stella Hoshii

These two were probably my favorite customers in the game. I love how devoted they are to each other, but my favorite thing is how casually close they are to each other. Stella knows how to make things make sense to Sei, and Sei completely sees through Stella's haughtiness, and it's wonderful. I'd be interested to see that knowledge help them on some sort of mission, whether it's something related to Sei's former job as a White Knight or just finding the best Mega Christmas presents before they're snatched up. I'd also enjoy something quieter that lets them focus on their relationship, like a visit to Virgilio's curry stand.


Dangan Ronpa

One of my favorite things about this series is how effectively it makes you attached to the characters before it starts killing them off. They’re all so ridiculous and over-the-top, and it’s great. In general, I’m a huge fan of things to do with characters’ talents or the day to day life at Hope’s Peak. Give me everyone worrying about practical exams or trying (and failing) to balance school with their careers. I’m also totally up for non-despair/non-Hope’s Peak AUs, if that’s what you’d like to do. Let them be happy for a change.

Ikusaba Mukuro/Kirigiri Kyouko/Maizono Sayaka

I love every component pair of this ship, so I’m a little surprised that there’s so little for them as a trio. They’ve each got an interesting mix of kindness and ruthlessness that varies between them and that could lead to all sorts of shenanigans. They all strike me as the sort of people who could get really competitive over minor things, for instance, so the three of them playing a board game might be fun. And I’m always a sucker for sap where the Tragedy is averted because Mukuro’s girlfriends convince her to turn against Junko, whether they know that’s what they’re doing or not. Or if you wanted to go entirely AU, I’d love something high fantasy with Sayaka as a queen, Mukuro as her general, and Kyouko the spymaster or something like that.

Asahina Aoi/Chabashira Tenko/Oogami Sakura

This one is entirely because of V3's board game mode – I really loved the Aoi-Tenko friendship that we got to see there, and while there were fewer Sakura-Tenko interactions the one that I know of is also great. I’d love to see them all exercising and training towards their specific goals together. Maybe Tenko and Sakura spar, with Aoi cheering them on. Or Tenko meets some milestone in her swimming lessons, and they all go out to celebrate.
