Dear Yuletide Author,

Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user

graveexcitement). 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, especially in places where I've been able to reuse prompts from previous exchanges. Don't worry — if I requested a fandom, I want it just as much as I want the other fandoms here, regardless of prompt length!

Do Not Wants:
-I'm not interested in smut for this exchange.

General likes/favored tropes:
I may not put most of these into my request-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)
-Humor

My requested fandoms:

Among Us
Hollow Knight
Mother of Learning
Zero Escape

Among Us

Requested characters: Any

I've immensely enjoyed Among Us these last few months. I'm always a fan of hidden role/traitor games, and this one is quite fun — both the game itself, and all the fanart / animations / memes / headcanons / etc. (You can check out my Among Us tag on tumblr for art & memes, if you like.)

(I play purple, so if you want to include a purple crewmate/impostor that'd be cool, but only if you want! Any colors are A-OK.)

I enjoy both lighthearted and more dramatic takes on Among Us. Some ideas:
-The crewmates respawn or regenerate after each round; they take turns being the impostor, and this is just a fun game they play together.
-What if there are multiple types of impostors (different species of aliens, plus some that aren't even aliens, they just have a bone to pick with the crew); would they get along?
-Everyone in the crew is secretly an impostor, but none of them know the rest are also impostors.
-A crewmate accidentally gets into the vents and runs into an impostor, who thinks they're a fellow impostor.
-An impostor falls for a crewmate or becomes found family with a crew, and protects their crewmate/crew from other impostors.
-An impostor adopts a mini crewmate (or several), or a crewmate adopts a mini impostor.
-An impostor teaches their mini impostor the tricks of the trade.

Hollow Knight

Requested character: The Last Stag

When I saw that The Last Stag had been nominated, I realized that, actually, I would love a Last Stag-centric fic (thanks, nominator!). I'd love his thoughts/feelings towards the game's travelers, like Ghost and Quirrel. How would the Stag react to The Hollow Knight's re-emergence, or to the Shade Lord? Who and what have been his most interesting/favorite passengers and cargo throughout his service? What if a young Stag returned to Hallownest, post-canon, and the Last Stag got to meet/mentor them? Really, anything Last Stag-centric would be lovely.

Mother of Learning

Requested character: Xvim Chao

Xvim is one of my favorites in the Mother of Learning cast, and I'd love to see his perspective on things. For instance, I'd love to see his realization in chapter 48 that Zorian, the student he's just met, was clearly taught by him (and, once Zorian explains about the time loop, the realization that he put Zorian through years of hardassery.)

Other ideas: what does Xvim think about the eclectic cast of allies Zorian's picked up? What does he get up to, post-canon? What made Xvim decide to become a teacher? If he somehow wound up as one of the primary loopers, how would he handle the time loop?

Zero Escape

Requested character: Light Field | Snake

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!

Ever since I first played 999, I've been ever so taken with Light. He's very charming, a tad condescending, and so, so protective of & devoted to Clover.

As you might be able to imagine, I was sad that Light appeared in neither VLR nor ZTD. What might have happened in VLR if Light was present? Either as a person preserved in cold sleep (like Clover), or an older Light (like Tenmyouji). Similarly, how might ZTD have gone down if one of the players was swapped out for Light? (Consider: a C-team consisting of Carlos, Light, and Junpei. Snarking ensues. Maybe romance also ensues? I like Light/Junpei, but Light/Carlos or all three could be fun.)

Or perhaps something set outside of a Nonary Game. What if Light had met Junpei in between the First Nonary Game and 999? Maybe Light and Clover re-connect with the rest of the crew after ZTD, and make some new friends?

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

Sincerely,
Grave
