Dear Fic In A Box Creator,

Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user

graveexcitement). I'm so excited to do

ficinabox again! :D 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!

Do Not Wants:
-Non-con. (To clarify: I don't want non-con but I like some dub-con, like sex pollen or other mind-altering substances.)
-Bathroom kinks (watersports/piss kink, scat, etc.)

General likes/favorite 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
-Mind-melding
-Bodyswapping or bodysharing
-Bickering/bantering
-Time travel/time loops
-Canon divergence/For Want of a Nail
-Soulmate AUs (especially if they're somewhat "messy," like if there's multiple types of soulmates (platonic, romantic, maybe even enemy) and/or different kinds of soulmark mechanisms, like some people have "first words" and some people have "sharing dreams" and some people have "their soulmates' lies are written on their skin" -- or anything else weird/messy you come up with!)
-Cuddling/snuggling/falling asleep together
-Hurt/comfort (especially sickfic)
-Humor

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
-impregnation/breeding kink

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

My requests:

Crossover Fandom (Imperial Radch & Modao Zushi)

Other Mediums: None
Justice of Toren One Esk Nineteen | Breq (Imperial Radch) & Wei Wuxian (MDZS)
I saw this tag and something in my brain went "Yes! Two of my favorite things, and two of my favorite characters! Whoever nominated this is a genius!" But I don't actually know what to prompt for it. Both of these characters are extraordinarily stubborn, and have a strong sense of justice. Seeing them team up to fight an injustice of some sort would be great, and I wonder what Wei Wuxian, the necromancer, would think of ancillaries. But really, whatever excites you about this tag, go for it!

Note: The following prompts will largely pertain to fanfic. If you want to create in one of the other mediums I requested, that's awesome, I just don't have any specific prompts for them at this time.

I quite enjoy the game genre of "eclectic cast of characters are trapped in a location and forced into a death game," and Danganronpa delivers wonderfully.

Solo: Ultimate Imposter
(Note: 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.)

Ultimate Impostor has always intrigued me. Their Ultimate talent is fascinating, and so is its impact on Impostor's (lack of) identity. They clearly care a lot about their classmates, and I've always thought it was a shame they died so early in DR2. I'd love to see a DR2 AU where they didn't die so early; how would they handle the subsequent murders?

Or you could look at their childhood: how did they develop their talent to Ultimate level, and what happened to them that spurred them to do so? What identities have they taken on over the years? Their adventures at Hope's Peak (either in a no-despair AU, or their school days before despair) would be fun. Or, what all did they get up to as part as Ultimate Despair?

I especially like their friendships with Hinata, Ibuki, and Mitarai; feel free to ship Impostor with any of them if you like. Gen/friendship fic or solo character studies are also more than welcome.

Amami Rantaro & Oma Kokichi
We didn't get to see much of Amami in canon, but I feel like he could naturally fall into something of an older brother role if he ever spent much time with Ouma. A canon divergent AU where Amami lived and befriended/worked with Ouma would be interesting! Or a chapter 3 AU where the ritual succeeds and Amami is "brought back" to life (whatever version of brought back you want -- could be the real deal, could be a clone, could be implanted memories via flashback light, etc.) Or Ouma could time travel/time loop and become determined to save Amami. Talent Development Plan AUs are also welcome; Ouma roping Amami into a prank he's playing, perhaps?

Gokuhara Gonta & Oma Kokichi
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? Time travel or time loops with Gonta as the traveler/looper would be fascinating, I don't think I've seen that before.

Kirigiri Kyoko/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. Canon divergent AUs are great, as is anything time travel/time loop related (Togami as the time traveler/looper would be hilarious!)

Momota Kaito/Oma Kokichi
God, I love Oumota. V3 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.)

Chapter 5 AUs where they both survive and/or things go differently are always fun. I also love time loop/time travel, and I can hardly think of a character worse-suited to being a time looper than Momota, it would be delightful.

Or for something more lighthearted, what kind of shenanigans/rivalry might these two get up to in a Talent Development Plan AU or any other AU where the V3 kids actually attend Hope's Peak?

I love TMA's worldbuilding and especially its exploration of what makes someone a monster.

Solo: Michael | The Distortion
Michael fascinates me. A monster with identity/sanity problems, with a tragic history as an archival assistant? Sign me up!

I like the idea that Michael has a soft spot for the assistants because of his own history as an assistant; something about him interacting with and/or saving one or more of them would be fun! Michael surviving his canon death (either it being averted entirely, or Helen becoming the Distortion doesn't fully kill Michael) would be interesting; I wonder what kind of trouble he might get up to afterwards.

What if Michael became the Distortion and then... kept going in to work at the Magnus Institute, because (1) it's not like he actually quit or was fired, (2) it'd be really funny.

Or, time travel is catnip for this fandom; what if Michael was the one travelling back? Either to the beginning of S1, or back to when he had just become the Distortion, or to his time as an archival assistant? Either the "send memories back in time" or the "physically travel" options would be interesting; for the latter, how would Michael Shelley react to Michael the Distortion?

Michael | The Distortion/Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist
I love Michael and Jon's interactions. (Even the stabby ones.) I'd be interested in seeing a Michael who, despite his grudge against the Archivist, finds himself procrastinating on actually killing Jon: because he's grown fond of him, because he's fun to mess with, whichever. On Jon's part, I'd like to see him reluctantly fascinated, despite knowing that Michael is a monster who has harmed him before and may well kill him.

An AU where Michael didn't die where he did in canon could be interesting (either because Helen's usurpation was averted or Michael wasn't killed, just changed, by Helen becoming the Distortion.) How would Michael's approach towards Jon change? With less and less friends, how might Jon react to him?

Or, entityswap AU: Spiral Jon and Beholding Michael.

Gerard Keay & Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist
I am very much *heart eyes* for Gerry, and I really enjoyed his interactions with Jon. I'd love to see them get to be actually friends! Maybe ghost Gerry sees how pathetic Jon is and decides to stick around a while longer to help out. Or maybe an AU where Gerry doesn't develop brain cancer (or they catch it early enough to save him) and he meets S1 Jon?

Or Gerry and Jon could meet earlier: while Jon is in university, maybe? Gerry could (reluctantly) teach Jon about the Fears... or alternatively, he could try to keep Jon out of it, only to be called up one day like "Hello Gerry, I'm the Head Archivist at the Magnus Institute now, and I just read this very interesting statement about you..." Or, them meeting as kids would be cute - kid Jon and Gerry would be adorable friends!
