Dear Rare Male Slash Author,
Dear Rare Male Slash Author,
Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user graveExcitement (arachnids)). I'm looking forward to seeing what you write for me. I hope one or more of these prompts inspires you, but optional details are optional! So 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 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:
Danganronpa
New Danganronpa V3
The Expanse Series - James S.A. Corey
Harry Potter
Pacific Rim
Team Fortress 2
Hinata Hajime/Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko
One of my favorite underappreciated DR ships! Them growing closer together during the course of the game would be great. 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. Or, you could do something in the Hope's Peak/DR3 Despair Arc era - if Natsumi had survived, might Hinata have gotten close to the Kuzuryu clan?
Naegi Makoto/Togami Byakuya
I love Togami slowly thawing towards Naegi and realizing that he's a lot more competent/skilled than he first appears, both socially and when it comes to investigations/logical thinking. So, Togami appreciating Naegi for his strengths is something I like. On Naegi's side, I love him learning to not take heart to Togami's insults/rudeness, and stubbornly worming his way into Togami's heart. Seeing what they'd be like together during their time in the Future Foundation would be cool, or you could look at their time together in the killing game.
Top
At this point I think I can stop warning for V3 spoilers, right? For any of the V3 ships, I'm cool with Talent Development Plan AU/any other AU where the V3 kids actually attend Hope's Peak, if that's something that interests you!
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 Shuichi
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.
Hoshi Ryoma/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. Maybe a canon divergent AU where Hoshi lives past Chapter 2, and Ouma conscripts him as a 'minion'? Working together & growing closer as Hoshi grudgingly (or not-so-grudgingly) helps with Ouma's crazy plans, while also realizing just how much of Ouma's act is just an act.
Hoshi Ryoma/Saihara Shuichi
I think Saihara and Hoshi would be really good friends, depression buddies, & boyfriends, so anything you write here would be great! Hoshi's free time events were some of my favorites in the whole game! I'd love to see something where Saihara's friendship and support of Hoshi leads him to not give up and despair when he sees his motive video, and survive past chapter 2. Plus, Hoshi as part of the investigation team would be a lot of fun!
Gokuhara Gonta/Hoshi Ryoma
I think these two would be so sweet together. Hoshi can help keep Gonta grounded, and Gonta could help keep Hoshi's spirits up. Maybe an AU stemming from Hoshi deciding on a whim to attend the Insect Meet-and-Greet, because it would make Gonta happy?
Gokuhara Gonta/Ouma Kokichi
I'd love anything that deals with Gonta being smarter than he looks (& Ouma recognizing this!) He's socially naive of course, but smart in a lot of other areas. (Side note: I'm not a huge fan of the localization's Hulk-speech for Gonta; more info for that can be found here, but in summary, in the Japanese version, Gonta does refer to himself exclusively in third person, but he doesn't talk in any noticeably "stupid" way. So I guess that's my preference when it comes to writing Gonta's dialogue, but if you're used to the localization's style, no problem.)
Anyways, anything where Ouma, over the course of dragging Gonta along on his schemes, realizes that he actually does really care about him, would be great. Also, Gonta being protective over Ouma would be lovely.
Top
Jim Holden/Joe Miller
God damn did I love protomolecule!Miller, the one who appeared to Holden throughout Abbadon's Gate and Cibola Burn. So anything with him would be absolutely lovely, either during the timespan of those books, or, have him continue to lurk around in Holden's brain after Cibola Burn.
(I see lots of potential for protomolecule!Miller and Holden bodysharing... that would be cool! Or just, weird side effects of Miller being in Holden's brain? Holden picking up some of Miller's tastes and mannerisms...)
Or if you're more into human!Miller, you could go canon divergent AU, and have Miller survive somehow & join the Roci's crew. Having Miller along for the ride would definitely shake things up, & his dynamic with Holden and with the rest of the Roci crew would be interesting. Or you could write something during the canon timeline, before he goes on his suicide mission and whatnot.
Amos Burton/Praxidike Meng
These two could be so sweet together, oh my gosh. (If you're a show-watcher as well, the last few eps have been great for this ship - them calling each other their best friend in the universe!!) Anything with Amos taking care of Prax (or both of them taking care of each other!!) would be lovely. Hurt/comfort absolutely appreciated.
Top
Would prefer no non-magic AUs, but canon-divergent AUs are always cool. Also, I do like alternate-Sorting AUs (especially Slytherin!Harry!)
With my Weasley twins prompts, feel free to pick prompts for one ship and apply them to another; I tried to keep it varied, so if you see something you like in the Harry/George prompts and want to write it for Harry/Fred, go for it!
Harry Potter/Fred Weasley
Perhaps a canon divergent AU where Fred survived the Battle of Hogwarts - though perhaps not unscarred/uninjured. Or maybe a time travel or time loop-type circumstance where Harry goes back to save Fred (and others who died during the battle... but especially Fred.) But I certainly wouldn't mind something more lighthearted; I'm always up for humorous stuff, when it comes to Harry & the Weasley twins!
Harry Potter/George Weasley
Maybe something where after the war, Harry ends up working with George at Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, and they grow closer together, even as they grieve for Fred. Or something during their school years, where Harry & George unexpectedly grow closer together and George becomes Harry's favorite twin...
Harry Potter/Fred Weasley/George Weasley
First, I'm ok with this either as a V with Harry at the center or as a full triad. In any case, I love Harry's friendship with the twins, and I'd love to see that develop into something more. I'd love to see Harry working with the twins on prank inventions (some of which could also potentially be useful for the war.) Other ideas: Harry & the twins exploring some part of the school that isn't on the Marauder's Map (could be the Chamber of Secrets, could be something else); Harry surprising the twins by playing a prank on them. Also, I love Harry learning to tell the twins apart easily, even when they're doing their best to confound the people around them.
Regulus Black/Severus Snape
Regulus/Severus is my beloved rarepair in this fandom (fic rec tangent: if you haven't read the Sacrifice Arc series, I absolutely recommend it & it features some amazingly heartbreaking Regulus/Severus. Uh, but it's really long, so don't feel the need to try and read it right now or anything!) Anyways. For this ship, maybe something during their school years/Death Eater years, or you could go for a canon-divergent AU in which Regulus survives... or hey, you could write some afterlife action!
Top
I have seen Pacific Rim: Uprising, but I'm not entirely satisfied with it. So, if you want to write Uprising-related stuff, feel free to write canon divergent fic/change the stuff you don't like/write fix-it fic. (Considering that most of the requested characters don't even show up in Uprising, there'd definitely be differences!) It's also fine to just ignore it entirely and just write based off the first movie, if you haven't seen it, don't like it yourself, or just don't want to focus on it.
Oh, and a note: I like interpreting Tendo as a trans guy, so you're welcome to include that if Tendo's one of the main characters! Trans dude Newt or Hermann also cool. All are completely optional, though!
Hannibal Chau/Newton Geiszler
Gruff crime lord and overenthusiastic scientist? Yes please. Uh, but really. We know from the post-credits scene that Hannibal survives; fic where they develop a closer relationship post-movie? Newt returns to Hannibal's black market shop hoping to study some of the kaiju parts Hannibal's crew has managed to preserve well, Hannibal decides to indulge him... anything along those lines! Or, if you're interested in playing with Uprising, maybe something about how Uprising would have gone differently if Hannibal had still been in contact with Newt?
Hannibal Chau/Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb
Here, I'm cool with a full triad or with them as a V with Newt in the middle. In either case: Something that builds off canon, with Newt becoming the new liaison to Hannibal and his crew, would be cool. Or, on the other hand, I love shit where Newt and Hermann end up as part of Hannibal's gang instead of joining the PPDC, for whatever reason. Saving the world from the shadier side of things.
Raleigh Becket/Tendo Choi
Tendo being overjoyed that Raleigh's come back to the fold, and then incredibly relieved that he survived the final mission. Hurt/comfort (esp. comfort) would be welcome here. Or maybe something from the glory days, before Yancy's death, with Raleigh & Tendo just getting to hang out and relax every now and then?
Tendo Choi/Newton Geiszler
Newt and Tendo bonding over shared nerdy interests would be great. Maybe supplying each other with coffee? Or, Tendo putting his foot down and declaring Newt's had too much access to coffee... Tendo fussing over Newt in the aftermath of the first movie would be nice (love that hurt/comfort!) Really, anything you write here would be great.
Top
Heavy/Medic/Spy
I'd love to see Heavy and Medic inviting Spy into their relationship; Spy being surprised at how much he's come to care for them both is also lovely. I think all three would respect each other's intelligence, and appreciate the softer sides of each other.
Engineer/Sniper/Spy
I love all the individual ships that make up this triad, so this triad as a whole really appeals to me! Oh, and feel free to go cross-team; BLU Spy/RED Sniper/RED Engineer could be fun, for instance! (Or RED/BLU/BLU; I have no actual team preferences.) In any case, I'd love something where these three learn to trust & respect each other, and grow closer together along the way.
Demoman/Engineer/Heavy/Medic/Pyro/Scout/Sniper/Soldier/Spy
This polyship is sure to be absolute chaos. I love it. So anything dealing with the chaos of their relationships and/or of them getting together would be great. Or just them wreaking havoc (as they so often do!)
