Dear Prime Time Player,

Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user graveExcitement (arachnids)). 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!

Also, in case anyone was trying to look at this letter before May 3rd, sorry! Got distracted >.>

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
-telepathy/mind-melding
-light bondage
-xeno
-tentacles

Non-kinky/vanilla smut also fine, don't worry.

My requested fandoms:

Danganronpa
Hypnosis Mic
The Umbrella Academy
Zero Escape

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.

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

Harukawa Maki/Kirigiri Kyoko
I didn't nominate this and I'm curious who did, because this is a really interesting ship! I think both Maki and Kirigiri would find each other interesting and worthy of respect. I'd love to see them having to work together to solve a mystery/murder. Or maybe a V3-at-Hope's-Peak AU where Kirigiri finds herself unable to ignore the mystery surrounding Maki and her talent.

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. Or maybe an SDR2 AU where Impostor didn't die in the first chapter?

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.)

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.

Hypnosis Mic

Hmm... can you tell I like poly divisions? "Found family" would not go amiss here. People realizing that they're actually quite comfortable in the company of their teammates.

Amemura Ramuda/Jinguji Jakurai
There's so many places you could take this ship. Fluffy TDD era? I'm sold. I love Ramuda dragging Jakurai around and hanging off of him and teasing him. Or you could go with rival/hatesex - all the more passionate because of their former friendship! Or a less bitter, "we're enemies now but deep down I still care about you, idiot."

Amemura Ramuda/Arisugawa Dice/Yumeno Gentaro
Fling Poly Poly. Have you heard Stella by now? You should definitely listen to it if not, because oh my god, amazing. It also brings sci-fi/space AUs to mind - either the one Gentaro tells a story about (which I don't fully know the details of, but sounds fun!) or something else. Especially if hypnosis mics are still a thing - rapping In Space is a really funny concept to me.

Anyways, I just love everything about Fling Posse's dynamic as a triad. Gentaro and Ramuda are both dramatic as fuck (in different ways); they need Dice to help keep them grounded. Well, 'grounded' in a way that also involves lots of chaos, but Fling Posse thrives on that. So any Shibuya Shenanigans (TM) are welcome.

Aohitsugi Samatoki/Busujima Mason Rio/Iruma Jyuto
The found family vibes are strong with this one. I love these three learning to read each other, grow comfortable with each other. (Jyuto and Samatoki deciding to suffer in silence instead of complain about Riou's cooking!) Realizing that they're growing closer than they'd ever expected when they first became teammates. Hurt/comfort wouldn't go amiss here either (especially if it's getting hurt trying to protect each other.)

Izanami Hifumi/Jinguji Jakurai/Kannonzaka Doppo
I love these three growing closer together and falling into an easy domesticity. Jakurai realizing that the other two aren't just "interesting" to him. Hifumi and Doppo coming to love their Sensei (whether or not Hifumi and Doppo were together or just friends before Matenrou formed is up to you). Also, them realizing that Jakurai needs people to take care of him, too; Hifumi making lunches for Jakurai and badgering him to sleep properly. (But he sleeps best when he's with them.) The three wolves of Matenrou doing their best to help others, and help each other too.

The Umbrella Academy

No mundane/no-powers AUs, please.

Number Five & Klaus Hargreeves; Number Five & Diego Hargreeves & Klaus Hargreeves; Number Five & Ben Hargreeves & Klaus Hargreeves; Diego Hargreeves & Klaus Hargreeves
If you couldn't tell, I'd love any combo of Five, Diego, and Klaus. (Ben too!) I'm not sure how to separate these all out since most of them are combos of the same three characters, so I'll just give some general prompts here.

Five being protective over Klaus, or sticking up for him in one of the family arguments/ Diego being protective over Klaus and/or Five. Klaus being pleasantly surprised to have some of his siblings on his side. Five uses his badass skills to protect one or more of his siblings. Ben and Klaus forcing a sleep-deprived/insomniac Five to actually rest for once in his life. Klaus learning to manifest Ben more often, so that Ben can lecture his other brothers to take care of themselves without having to go through Klaus.

Diego takes Five and Klaus (and Ben) out for breakfast and tries not to get them kicked out of the restaurant. Any of them helping distract Klaus while he goes through withdrawal. Diego bonds with Klaus over the people they've lost; alternatively, Diego catches up to Eudora in time, and they rescue Klaus together. Comforting each other after brutal training sessions, or standing up to Reginald for each other.

Hurt/comfort is lovely. Canon divergence, possibly by time travel or time loop shenanigans, is always cool. Maybe they wake up in their past, 13-year old bodies, but they're not all sent back to the same point, so someone is now stuck trying to fix their family without having anyone to back them up. (Klaus has the most potential for hilarious disaster here, though Diego stuck on his own wouldn't be much better.) Time loop always welcome, either with the whole family aware of the loop or just one or two of them.

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/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!
