Dear Chocolatier,

[graveexcitement]

Dear Chocolatier,

Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user graveExcitement (arachnids)), and I'm super excited to be doing Chocolate Box for the third time! Thanks in advance for writing for me. I hope one or more of these prompts inspires you, but optional details are optional; feel free to ignore the prompts or only use part of them if a different idea strikes you!

The length of my prompts may vary between my requested fandoms and requested ships, especially in places where I've been able to reuse prompts from previous exchanges. Don't worry - if I requested a ship, I want it just as much as I want the other ships here, regardless of prompt length!

Do Not Wants:
-Non-con. (To clarify: I don't want non-con but I am fine with some dub-con, like sex pollen or other mind-altering substances.)
-Watersports/scat.

General likes/favored tropes:
I didn't really put most of these into my fandom-specific prompts, but if you want to jump off one of these tropes instead of or in addition to using the specific prompts, that's cool too!

-Telepathy
-Bodyswapping or bodysharing
-Bickering/bantering
-Time travel/time loops
-Cuddling/snuggling/falling asleep together
-Hurt/comfort (especially sickfic)
-Fake marriage
-Crackfic, whether or not it's taken seriously
-Humor
-Hijinks
-Harry Potter/Hogwarts AUs

Smut likes/favored tropes:
In general I don't tend to think of prompts that are all that explicit, so my fandom-specific prompts probably won't have any smutty prompts, but if you do want to take it in a smutty direction, I'm down!

I like:
-mind-altering substances (alcohol, recreational drugs, sex pollen, aphrodisiacs)
-mating cycles/heats (though I'm not really fond of A/B/O fic otherwise, so maybe don't go that specific route)
-telepathy/mind-melding
-light bondage
-xeno
-tentacles

But I also like non-kinky smut, don't worry - vanilla is fine with me!
My requested fandoms:

Boku no Hero Academia
Danganronpa
New Danganronpa V3
Zero Escape

Boku no Hero Academia

I prefer no totally mundane/no-Quirk AUs, though other AUs are cool. Manga spoilers A-OK with me (and there might be some minor spoilers in the following prompts, though I don't think I'll reference anything too major.)

Aizawa Shouta & Midoriya Izuku
Anything with mentor or dad!Aizawa would be great. I love Aizawa and I love how devoted he is to his students, especially his problem child. Maybe something where Aizawa trains Izuku one-on-one, for whatever reason? I especially like stuff where Aizawa recognizes Izuku's analytical abilities.

Midoriya Izuku & Shigaraki Tomura | Shimura Tenko
This can be either an AU where Tenko never became Shigaraki, or something closer to canon, whatever floats your boat. Or even villain!Deku, though I'd prefer it not be too dark/depressing of a villain!Deku AU. In any case, I'd like to see a friendly relationship of some kind, whether genuine friendship or more of a friendly enemies thing. I'd love to see them playing games of some kind together, especially strategy games or RPGs.

Monoma Neito/Shinsou Hitoshi
I really like their interactions in the most recent manga chapters (most recent chapter at time of this writing is 212, for reference.) Specifically, Monoma mentions how they're both not 'typical' heroes who have everything from the start; how they have to play dirty to get to the same level as everyone else, and so forth. I'd love to see that expand into a relationship, and maybe even a partnership of some kind when they're pro heroes!

Danganronpa

Note for any Impostor-related prompts: Either they/them or he/him pronouns for Impostor are fine with me. Also, I understand it's officially "Imposter"; I'm fine with either spelling, I just prefer "Impostor" when I'm writing.

Hinata Hajime/Komaeda Nagito/Nanami Chiaki
I'm a big fan of the Trial Point Getters trio. I feel like these three are capable of balancing each other out nicely. As for prompts... It'd be interesting to see how these three would interact if Komaeda ever ran into Nanami and Hinata together during their Hope's Peak days, before the Kamukura Project sunk its claws into Hinata. Komaeda would probably be disdainful of Hinata... but perhaps Nanami could convince him otherwise?

Or, maybe a canon divergence AU from chapter 5 - could Komaeda have been swayed, if things were different and these three were closer together? Alternatively, I love Despair Disease AUs, so playing with that could be fun. Or you could just write them getting together post-game/post-Hope Arc, as they figure out how to heal. Anything's fine with me! At the end of the day, I'd just like to see these three working things out, helping balance each other out, and working together.

Hinata Hajime/Kuzuryuu Fuyuhiko
One of my favorite underappreciated DR ships! Them growing closer together during the course of the game would be fantastic. Them taking care of each other would be fantastic - I especially love Kuzuryu as a semi-Team Dad. Comforting each other in the wake of the final murders; or perhaps struggling to keep things together and not on fire while they wake up their friends. Hurt/comfort appreciated.

Hinata Hajime/Kuzuryuu Fuyuhiko/Pekoyama Peko
I just love the idea of these three together, by each others' sides. So, something where they grow closer together post-game would be great. Or alternatively, AU where Hinata was also raised in the Kuzuryu clan? That could be interesting. Or a talentswap AU?

Hinata Hajime/Ultimate Impostor
I'm a big Impostor fan and I'm interested to see what his dynamic with Hinata might be like. Maybe a canon divergence AU where the first chapter's killer and/or victim is different? That would give them more opportunity to bond. Or you could do something post-SDR2/post-Hope Arc. Or even something during their school days - I'd be interested to see how they'd meet & bond during that time!

Kirigiri Kyouko/Naegi Makoto/Togami Byakuya
My DR1 OT3! These three learning to work together and respect each other (especially Togami, lol) is lovely. Maybe something about them working together in the Future Foundation? Or just them growing closer together over the course of the first game. That'd be good too.

Mioda Ibuki/Ultimate Impostor
Heir Guitar!! This ship is so sweet, I love Ibuki's enthusiasm and Impostor being willing to go along with her ideas (within reason.) And I love fics where Ibuki is completely accepting of Impostor's (lack of) identity. Any kind of fluff/happiness would be welcome here.

New Danganronpa V3

Careful analysis may reveal that I may have a particular favorite character in V3...

Also, I'm cool with Talent Development Plan AU/any other AU where the V3 kids actually attend Hope's Peak.

Gokuhara Gonta & Ouma Kokichi
With these two I'm hoping for something more lighthearted, and specifically, I would like for Ouma not to be just manipulating Gonta to do his bidding; I'd like to see something closer to a genuine friendship, though of course when Ouma's involved there's always mind-games involved. Maybe Ouma and Gonta working together to pull a (lighthearted) prank? Or Gonta protecting Ouma from someone he's pissed off?

Hoshi Ryouma & Ouma Kokichi
I feel like Hoshi and Ouma could have a really fun dynamic. Hoshi seems like he'd be able to actually see through some of Ouma's bullshit. So, anything with Hoshi seeing through Ouma's facade would be great.

Momota Kaito/Ouma Kokichi
God, I love Oumota. Okay. Chapter 5 just really, really sold me on this ship. Their outlooks are completely opposed - blind faith versus extreme distrust and paranoia - but when they actually work together, holy shit. Like, damn, look at what they nearly accomplished! So, anything about them managing to pull their heads out of their asses and work together would be great. I also like stuff with Ouma wearing Momota's jacket, and Momota being weirdly talented at imitating Ouma (because sure, he had a book of instructions, but just how detailed was it? Also, he said he had fun pretending to be Ouma, if I recall correctly.)

Momota Kaito/Ouma Kokichi/Saihara Shuuichi
I LOVE these three; I love pretty much any combination of them, and I especially love them as a triad. The way Momota and Ouma worked together in Chapter 5 was fantastic, and it just makes me think: how much could they accomplish if they were working together with Saihara, too? So, anything with these 3 working together, whether against the ringleader, or as partners in crime, or something else entirely. AUs are welcome.

Ouma Kokichi/Saihara Shuuichi
A detective who seeks the truth and a leader who constantly lies... their dynamic absolutely fascinates me. Saihara's drive to understand Ouma, Ouma's struggle to trust anyone else and let himself be understood... I absolutely love it. A canon divergence AU where Ouma actually is tentatively willing to put his trust in Saihara could be interesting. I'm also open to the Detective & Phantom Thief AU! In general, stuff with the themes of truth, lies, and trust between these two is welcome.

Zero Escape

Zero Escape has so many of my favorite tropes -- telepathy, time travel, alternate universes, among others -- so I suppose it's only natural that I've fallen in love with this series. And of course, anything that plays with those favorite tropes would be lovely!

Carlos/Kurashiki Akane/Tenmyouji Junpei
My favorite trio from ZTD! I really loved how Carlos was able to provide some much-needed balance to Akane & Junpei, and I'd love to see more of what their lives are like together after the events of ZTD. I'd also love to see Carlos learning to use the morphogenetic field more, for some sweet C-Team casual telepathy.

Clover Field & Light Field
I love their sibling relationship, their fierce protection of each other, and would like to see that explored more. Maybe something dealing with their experiences in the first Nonary Game? Or something about where they go/what they do post-999. How much do they remember of the 'bad' timelines of 999? Or what if Light ended up brought into VLR along with Clover?

Light Field/Kurashiki Aoi
These two happen to be quite similar in some ways -- older brothers devoted to their younger sisters -- and yet different in a lot of others. I think they could have an interesting dynamic to explore, post-999 (or even during/after the first Nonary Game).

Light Field/Kurashiki Aoi/Tenmyouji Junpei
I think these three could have an interesting dynamic to explore. I'd love to see what might result if all three met up again after the events of 999. Or, it could be cool to see these three connected through the morphogenetic field in some way! Or maybe some bodyswap fun, to shake things up?

Light Field/Tenmyouji Junpei
I love Light's gentle teasing of Junpei in canon, and it'd be great to see that develop into something more. I'd love to see Junpei get close to Light after the events of 999. Or, what if Light was in VLR as well -- either as an old man like Junpei, or kept in cryostasis like Clover?

Sigma Klim & Phi
I loved Sigma & Phi's partnership in VLR. In ZTD it felt like Phi was so often dead or otherwise gone, and that was disappointing. I'd like to see more of their dynamic, of them working well together (though not without arguments/banter/etc.) I like both 20s Sigma and Old Man Sigma, so whichever consciousness you want to focus on is fine (or a bit of both.) Feel free to include Diana, too!

I hope you are inspired by something in this letter! Good luck, and have fun!

Sincerely,
Grave
