Hi there!
Thanks so much for creating something for me! The thing I love the most about fandom is seeing everyone's different takes on the same canon/premise/characters/ship, etc, you get me, and I'm so excited to see yours!
I've organized this letter into 1) Likes, 2) Do Not Wants (DNWs), and 3) Fandom-specifc. I'm leaving some prompts/rambling thoughts under each specific fandom/relationship request, but feel free to deviate as optional details are obviously optional! I'm sorry they're so long eek, I have a lot of thoughts already so feel free to not consider them at all, but if you do want more inspiration, feel free to browse my AO3 works/bookmarks, old exchange letters on my dreamwidth (which are also tagged by fandom) and mix and match ideas as you see fit. Save for my DNWs, I'm really not picky and like a whole lot of stuff, oftentimes because of one work that converted me haha. <3
I also totally forgot to explicitly mention upfront but for nsfw stuff, underage (12+) for me is totally fine, in case you are worried!
I'm trying something new this year - going to shoot for only one ship per fandom. Let's see how it goes!
(
Side note: I'm also happy to receive treats for any of my fandoms at any time into the future. I don't think I ever truly get over things I was into - 'tis the joy of fandom, right?)
AO3: silverineriversOther exchange letters: here
Table of Contents:LikesDNWsFandoms:Likes:
Canon-verse:
- Examples: canon-divergence, missing scenes in canon, post-canon, pre-canon, backstories, etc.
- I really adore works that deal with the 'what-if's, and gaps in worldbuilding/lore/character relationships that get explored/explained.
- Also POV switches, say exploring something in canon but through another character's worldview is super interesting too (goes well w/ missing scenes!)
AUs:
- Some common AUs I like include: magic/magical realism, royalty, time loops, alternative professions, reincarnation/multi-verse (especially if it ties into their canon-selves!)
- I also love AUs based off other established canons (Hogwarts is my personal fav, alongside Hunger Games/Avatar the Last Airbender, but really anything goes as long as you depict it in a way that doesn't require me to know the canon - you might convince me to pick it up...)
- I also enjoy any slice of AU embedded in canon-setting (e.g. soulmates exist in canon though everything else remains the same, a/b/o secondary genders are a thing alongside canon, etc)
General Tropes/Themes:
- Character development/character driven, b/c who needs plot, right? Not me!
- Deep emotional connections between friends and/or family, with heaps of trust and loyalty. Also when that loyalty is misused/abused, that's an excellent flavour too.
- Working together as a team (effectively! or poorly and learning from their lessons!)
- Found family
- Competent characters, whether or not they flaunt it or choose to play it like it's no big deal
- Hurt/comfort, angst with a happy ending
- Introspection, ALL THE INTROSPECTION
- 5+1s
- The concept of choice
- Open/ambiguous endings
- When characters actually communicate - whether through words or some other means
- The 'oh' moment, a trope as old as time for good reason
Romance-Specific Tropes/Themes:
- Feelings realization: whether abrupt, long stupid pining, or like long stupid mutual pining. All good flavours!
- Touch-starvation, importance and significance of touch
- Relationship progression past just getting together. I'd like to see how they navigate their new feelings/relationship status, all the ups and downs!
- The 'oh' moment again, in all flavours! I myself am partial to the 'oh, they're hot' and 'oh, I'm in too deep' moments
- Identity porn/use of names as symbolism to convey a specific relationship/point/identity (e.g. nickname only A calls B, given names only A can call B, that trope where A calls out B by a different name when they're in danger for the first time, all that good stuff! I'm SO weak for this it's ridiculous)
- Dysfunctional/unhealthy relationships (e.g. codependence, power imbalance, shouldn't/can't be with each other b/c of ~circumstances~), especially when the characters are still horribly attracted/drawn to the other.
- In every lifetime, it's you
- For you and only you, I'll do anything. Corruption arcs are sexy, and so is A going feral/unhinged only for B.
Smut-Specific Tropes/Themes:
- Sexual tension of all varieties (accidental, a device for feelings realization, or being a tease on purpose!), especially if it's resolved by the end.
- Dub-con and non-con of all types (Some favourite flavours include sex pollen, fuck or die, A/B/O - whether conventional or unconventional pairings/tropes, blackmail/to protect someone else/under duress, somnophilia, okay I can probably go on and on, but you get the gist!) Really love the loss of control, guilt, innate vulnerability and emotional mess that arises from these kinds of scenarios.
- Sexual insatiability - whether that be from drugs or a/b/o hormones or whatnot, your pick!
- Edging, orgasm denial, overstimulation
- Sexual experimentation of all types (more about the navigation of trying new things than whatever that new thing is, but either or goes!)
- Switching, switching up power dynamics/power imbalance
- Voyeurism, exhibitionism
- Hatesex (with actual feelings suppressed underneath or genuine hatred, up to you), especially if it's like an unhealthy/unestablished relationship but the sex is just too good to let go of it
- Subspace/subdrop + aftercare
- I've also been trying to make the tag "Pining while fucking" a canonical tag on AO3 for whenever they do non-fandom canonicals again, so if you can somehow add that in as a tag, you will have my heart!!! <3
- Graphic violence/gore/vore
- Crack
- A focus on pregnancy
- A focus on children/kid-fic (mentions of canonical children are ok!)
- A focus on OCs (okay if minor role, or created out of necessity to the plot without lingering on the OC's characteristics too much)
- Permanent major/any requested character death (temporary ok, major character death that's canonical ok, OCs ok)
- Genderbending/Rule 63, or any unrequested gender identity headcanons playing a prominent role in the work
- First or second person POV narration (in letters/epistolary ok!)
Back to the TopThe Social Network:Watched (and cried) over this movie many times. Yes, it's been 11 years. No, I'm still not over it.
Eduardo Saverin/Mark Zuckerberg (The Social Network)
- I will never ever ever get tired of fix-it fics for them. How do they fix things after the lawsuit? Who reaches out first? Is there more screaming or just being ignored? Do they forcefully bump into one another at some corporate event? I think I've read every variant of this in the fandom and I still want more. Drunken confessions? Hatesex? Tears and breaking down? Truthful reconciliations? Throwing things at each other? All of the above? Make with it as you will!
- I think part of the tragedy is their lack of communication throughout the events of the movie, so a fic where they actually face that and explore each other's flaws together would be good, maybe even after they get together. I'm envisioning like marriage counselling/therapy kind of environment, which might even lend itself to a bit of humour! Up to you.
- Canon-divergence AU where Eduardo does go out to California - do they finally sort out their issues together?
- Dysfunctional Mark/Eduardo and how incredibly toxic and hot that can be when you throw the lawsuit and the aftermath in there. Emotional manipulation and all that.
- ...just give me more sexual tension and smut if you're up for it. Their chemistry is insane esp given all the ~history and I'd love to see them in any of the 'smut-specific likes' scenarios, because holy shit, especially depending on when this happens and their history, it can really set me on fire and/or break my heart. I always think of the hallway scene and hatesex. Maybe screwing over Eduardo was never metaphorical. Maybe that changes things in the context of the lawsuit.
- "I was your only friend. You had one friend." This will never cease to break me.
- Life after Facebook for Eduardo and how he does or doesn't manage to move on.
- College experimentation/shenanigans. Think that bathroom scene, but like, more of it. How do Mark and/or Eduardo react to the other? Does that change the nature of their relationship, or cause feelings realization to happen?
- People taking care of Mark, who doesn't seem to eat or sleep or want to if he can code instead. Is that person Eduardo in the past? How does Mark cope when Eduardo leaves?
- Any number of backstories for some of the random Facebook features that exist (e.g. poking, the Wall, etc, oh my god as I type this I feel so old because I have no idea what recent Facebook features even are.)
Back to the TopDaiya no A | Ace of DiamondI have watched all 3 seasons of the anime and am keeping up with the English translations of Act II manga *sobs in what is soon to unfold*
Miyuki Kazuya/Narumiya Mei
- So, I never really thought this would be a rare pair given ALL THAT THEY HAVE GOING ON, but they are, so I am obligated now to request them forevermore.
- Ahem, childhood not quite friends, Miyuki basically being the one that 'got away' to Mei when he turns his invitation to Inashiro down in order to BEAT HIM, them being rivalries and more or less each other's final boss, Mei being the only one who calls Miyuki KAZUYA (I'm...so weak for the first name thing, oh my god you can see why I fell for this). Please, this is A+ chemistry and dynamic and I need more of them!
- The backstory behind the first name basis! More backstory in general apart from what we've shown! How close exactly are they? Who contacts whom and about what? How does Miyuki feel about Mei calling him Kazuya when literally NO ONE ELSE DOES?
- One part of what really enamours me about them is how they're both assholes and they know it and they know it in each other too. Growing up together obviously, they've been rather close (points to the first name basis and sobs) and get each other, respect each other's skills, and are a natural fit as catcher and pitcher. Lay into all that battery metaphor! I love how they both are so confident and good enough to stand by their bigshot words, especially Mei, and how they spur each other on and screw each other over (feel free to uh, not take that metaphorically lol)
- I loved when they formed a battery in All Japan. I'd love to see more during that, before or after. There's just so much there...Miyuki gives up Mei's fake tell to him, Mei pitching to prove something to Miyuki on the mound, and whether that encounter leads to anything more. Feelings, talk about the future, etc!
- Feel free to decide who wins their second battle against each other and how that ending, their graduation, perhaps going pro, frames their relationship!
- How do they get together - if they do?! I really like the range of MiyuMei, because it could have realistically happened at any time. Like being on and off since they were kids and pretending it isn't a big deal, screwing around as friends with benefits and then catching feelings, letting their stupidly high sexual tension melt away in a post game angry makeout session against the wall somewhere, playing on the same pro team and realizing what they've wanted all along, playing on different pro teams and sleeping with the enemy, etc etc.
- Also given how they are with each other, being kind of alike and competitive but also not willing to settle, they could totally just...fizzle out or ruin each other after dating. Like, they could totally break up after blowing up at each other and then realize they're the only person who can handle the other's bullshit because it comes natural for them now.
- Overall though, they don't need to be conventional, given how long they've circled and chased each other all this time, so there's a lot there. I think I just genuinely enjoy them clashing physically, sexually, emotionally, and then deciding yeah, he's the bastard I wanna be with.
- I am also very much craving a Royalty AU with these two with Mei as the actual prince and seeing how Miyuki defies convention in every way the way he totally would as whatever role you deem fit! Actually, given how small the fandom is for these two, any AU will do. *on my knees*
Back to the TopYuukoku no Moriarty | Moriarty the PatriotI've watched both seasons of the anime and will continue to be caught up in the manga as the English translations allow for (Chapter 65 right now!)
Sherlock Holmes/William James Moriarty (Yuukoku no Moriarty)
- I love their relationship and their battle/meeting of the minds, the flirting and the teasing and the dancing in circles re: 'catch me if you can', made more complicated by them being on 'opposite sides'. I'd love to see the exploration of the angst potential of their relationship or maybe why they don't enter into one. I can see Sherlock being more pushy as William withdraws into himself and his plans. Go as much canon or diverge as you'd like as to when this actually happens. There is so much there to work with in terms of p a i n, thinking of these two makes my heart ache.
- If you go into post Reichenbach Fall, that timeskip and codependence and how their relationship might grow and change b/c of the Fall would be lovely from Sherlock taking care of William and perhaps vice versa as well! I'd also love to just see them happy together, domestic, in a better world they've shaped together.
- Any admiration of each other and mutual admission of being similar to each other while very different, morals or otherwise as well as how being and meeting each other has taken them to new heights. Lean into that competence kink! I really like the idea that being with Sherlock lets William be his own authentic self, and how well they read each other. Maybe they take on a case together!
- There's also some great potential for unhealthy competition, where one thinks they have the upper hand over the other in game of chicken that gets out of hand when it comes to their sexual relationship. Even better if it's not established yet and they both want to impress the other in their own way. Also feel free to sprinkle in consent issues regarding power dynamics, orgasm denial, making sexual bets, Sherlock playing with weird chemicals (read: sex pollen or aphrodisiacs or just being high off drugs/gets William on it too maybe?) to make it as messy as possible. Maybe noncon occurs because they're trying to change the other person's mind and then feels guilty for the aftermath b/c it escalated too far.
- ^honestly, there isn't enough smut out there for them. like, their chemistry/flirtation is off the charts, literally do anything and I'd be happy.
- Ooo any kind of AU would also be fantastic. If you need ideas, anything regarding secret identities/being on opposite sides (unconventional superhero/villains), or both being incredibly bored in their everyday lives until they meet the other, multiple lifetimes looking for the one person who will be their match, etc!
Back to the TopChihayafuruI've watched all 3 seasons and will remain caught up on the English translations of the manga (currently chapter 240)!
Ayase Chihaya/Mashima Taichi/Wataya Arata
- I was never really into the whole love triangle thing until Chihayafuru. It's really insane how it managed to grip me and make me care about all the characters, I was binging the anime/manga like crazy because I got so invested and am desperately looking for OT3 works!
- I don't really have a particular scenario in mind as I write this, so whether it starts off with two of them bringing in the third or pretty established friendship and then they realize, oh this is love or anywhere under the sun is completely up to you. I really enjoy how they all naturally complement each other in some way or another, so I'd love to see you dissect that a little, if it happens naturally or via awkward stutters, if they research poly and get embarrassed over all that could entail or if they just fall into it and figure it out along the way. I mean, it's established that Chihaya is greedy as fuck and so why WOULDN'T she want both if she could? It's clear she cares about them both and maybe after she stops to think about it or talk it through, she'll realize where her love for karuta stemmed from and how that really plays out with the people she's met and loved and played with along the way. Cue feels ;-;
- For more detail: obviously, Arata and Taichi's affection for Chihaya is right out there in the open. I really liked the dichotomy between their two confession scenes and Chihaya's subsequent reaction. A part of me feels like she just wasn't ready for all of that, but afterwards (and especially Taichi's), you see her struggle to really process it and what that means and how it really changes the nature of their relationship going forward. She doesn't respond in the traditional way - but will she ever in her own way?
- Do Arata and Taichi ever talk about it more, their mutual affection for Chihaya? Does it ever wane as time goes on, as Taichi distances himself more to come into his own, or is he just putting up a front like always? My partner actually got me into Chihayafuru by saying "okay I too, normally don't like love triangles, but this is actually a triangle where you can tell the two guys are into each other too" and I continue to think about this all the time. There's that competitive part of their relationship, that underlying envy that occasionally pops out in canon that makes me go 'damn', whether that's karuta or Chihaya or both, especially that whole part about who Chihaya belongs to (no one! that's right!) I like them struggling to balance their own friendship and their standing in karuta all while being civil and reconnecting!
- On that front...manga spoiler but man I really wanted to have Taichi be Arata's card boy for the final. You know not all 3 of them could've been there competing in the same space but there was an easy solution to that right there...insert tension & resolution, maybe???
- If you include teenage sexual fumbling along the way as they all try to figure this out together as likely nervous virgins (sorry Taichi's short lived girlfriend dumped off screen), I'd be so down to see that!!! That excitement and awkward energy all combined would be fantastic. <3
Back to the TopCardcaptor Sakura
I've watched all the anime seasons including Clear Card as well as the manga (also up to date with Clear Card English translations, Chapter 59 right now). Feel free to incorporate both/either!
Kinomoto Sakura/Li Syaoran
- I am in a nostalgic mood and so I want to request my oldest and one of my dearest OTPs!
- I love them so much. They are so sweet and perfect for each other. I love them together in every manner imaginable. I love how their relationship started, how pure Sakura was and how Syaoran gradually falls for her despite viewing her as the enemy. It's hilarious if you think about them as an enemies to lovers ship which...is kind of true, but Sakura's just so winning and cute and charming, can you blame him? I love how they protect each other and work hard together to accomplish their goals as time goes on - feel free to incorporate more guilt/secrets/misunderstandings from Clear Card here if you'd like to dig into that complexity a little more as they grow older!
- If you'd like to explore their potential together from the Li family's perspective, that'd be really neat to see, given the whole magic clan standards thing. Obviously there was some initial antagonism from Sakura taking the cards away from being in the Li family's possession instead, and also Meiling in play. I'd love your take on how that all got resolved on the back end or didn't, and how they win over the Li family (or not!) together
- The devotion! The sacrifices! The learning what love is together as their first and only love!!! Melt my heart. Anything goes! First dates, first kisses (cuz you know, CLAMP doesn't really do that), cooking for each other, domestic stuff as they get older, going on a trip that doesn't evolve around the cards, Syaoran asking Touya for permission to date/marry her formally, proposals, etc!!! Give me all the fluff in the world for them <3
- That lovely long distance pining would also be so great to see, during their separation as they wait for each other from afar. What do they talk/message about? How do they keep the spark alive? What do they do when they reunite to celebrate?
- I'd also be down to see some more hurt/comfort with them in any scenario of your choosing! Maybe a card capture goes wrong, or they're in a dangerous situation, or a personal issue arises where they have to work it out and trust and confide in each other.
- Anything re: them with the cards in general, whether it's the cards meddling in their relationship (in a cute or messy way), or a new card being created because of them and what that implies!
- Anything with them in Tomoyo's outfits!!!
- Also I remember this from a long time ago in a CLAMP interview that said these two are soulmates and will love each other no matter what they're reborn as (cough, Tsubasa, cough) so any kind of AU or reincarnation work where they remember or don't remember their past lives (or slowly grows to, one does and the other doesn't, etc) would be lovely to see.
Back to the TopBlue LockI'm caught up on the manga (currently chapter 156) & will continue to be for the Eng. translations!
Mikage Reo/Seishirou Nagi
- There is something so appealing about this ship in a number of directions that you can feel free to take WHEREVER. Whether it's early days from them meeting to them entering Blue Lock together and how their paths diverge and how they eventually (or not) deal with it together or into the future!!!
- Some ideas: the concept of 'ego' and how that manifests in different ways in soccer, but also in life and how each of them approach it especially during the angst phase in their relationship where Reo is left behind. Enter some heart to heart or not b/c dumb teenage boys trying to speak through sports metaphors and shit!!
- CLASS DIFFERENCE ANGST AND HOW THEY APPROACH THAT. Reo has everything he could want except??? Nagi doesn't care at first but then realizes he has to put in some effort this time??? Go wild!
- I really like their different partnerships in the sport, how some people spark better chemical reactions and plays together and are able to predict/think alike. Feel free to lean into their ahem, chemical reaction, sexually or not. It would be so fun to see them doing that for example to prove a point to each other and then realizing oh hey this was a pretty good idea, this is GREAT.
- I really love how they grow into their own and love for the sport, especially for Reo who theoretically has everything he could possibly want, but ends up striving for the near impossible by starting a sport so late, and finding Nagi and inspiring him and calling HIM HIS TREASURE like save me. HELLO? possessiveness much? It's not REALLY finders keepers and Reo learns that the hard way, but maybe he still has a special place in Nagi's life that they end up dissecting together a bit more!
- They've been through a lot together but don't seem to at least hold it too much against each other for the breakdown of their relationship halfway through the canon. I'd love to see how that has affected them and where their relationship goes from here down the line if something more intense happens and they're forced to confront it more heads on vs 'we passed this stage let's move on!'
- More immediately post canon, how does winning the match vs the U20s change their lives and careers? Maybe a future fic where they describe Blue Lock and how it shaped them!
- This is basically a boarding school at this point so whatever shenanigans that go on behind the scenes as teenagers do would be SO FUN.
Back to the TopPrince of Tennis
I've watched the original anime and read the original manga. I don't mind if you spoil me on New Prince of Tennis material though!
Fuji Shuusuke/Kikumaru Eiji
- This was honestly my first pair I stumbled into for PoT and at the time (a very long time ago, literally when I started in fandom), I had no idea it was a rare pair. Some author on FFN dragged me in and I just found their relationship really gripping and cute and my heart was hooked?!
- I like Fuji's mysterious, sweet, dangerous nature and his friendship with Eiji who is naturally just as bright but maybe more pure on the surface level.
- I like the idea of Fuji being a good friend, like helping Eiji with homework, or giving advice, or Eiji being down to earth with Fuji and being trusted with his secrets. It's like those kinds of relationships when they are so different yet understand each other well, especially that dichotomy where Eiji is more openly honest and Fuji appreciates that simple, straightforward worldview that he wouldn't be able to see so easily. Fuji would overthink things and only say the bare minimum and Eiji might just call him out on that like 'oh you don't really mean that' or be taken in by Fuji's mannerisms. All good flavours!!!
- That one doubles game where they paired up lives in my head rent free. More please!!! Their partnership was just so good together. Fuji can support anyone he wants to so easily while Eiji takes center stage? Brilliant. They're so cute and badasses together!!!
- They're both very sweet people in different ways, how would that manifest in a relationship? Somehow I'd think Fuji might be a bit whipped, so maybe show me how fluffy their dates would be!
- But also Fuji definitely has a devious side, so he wouldn't give Eiji what he wants right off the bat without making him whine and work for it.
- Eiji is very fast paced while Fuji is more willing to wait, both on and off the court. Any kind of sexual exploration would be neat to see here as well, especially how they tease each other and might goad each other into greater heights together fooling around!
- I think their career paths would be pretty different, but they'd be supportive of each other too. A view into their futures together or apart in long distance would be fun to look into!
Back to the TopHunter X HunterI watched only the 2011 anime so that's my preferred canon but feel free to take from 1999 or the manga, I don't mind spoilers!
Illumi Zoldyck/Killua Zoldyck (Hunter X Hunter)
- I am SO intrigued by the twisted relationship between these two. I'd love any level of exploration of this, from their childhood to post-canon.
- Things I like include Illumi's feelings towards Killua, whether it's obsessive love or jealousy of Killua's status as heir or anywhere in between. Especially if you compare Killua's protectiveness of Alluka from Illumi and how he might feel about that, given his feelings on the importance of family and what is right/wrong. Does he use Alluka as a bargaining chip? Does he keep trying to hunt them down? Is he more frightened of Alluka's power or does he want Killua back more? Is this of his own doing or because it's important to the Zoldyck family?
- Any kind of scene with Illumi training Killua in his youth or in the future and how twisted that might get physically/emotionally/psychologically/sexually in terms of breaking him down and whether or not that succeeds in making Killua who he is/if he is more resilient after escaping/post-canon. (will waive my DNW re: graphic violence for this!) Also if you decide to have them fight it out and explores who wins/what that insinuates (happy or bad end) that'd be fantastic too!
- I also love the fact that Illumi still somehow thinks he is #1 in Killua's life, despite all signs pointing to the contrary. Feel free to make this more humorous or dark. Dub-con/non-con welcome!
- I also want to know how Killua feels about Illumi in turn, especially what caused his traumatic response to Illumi in particular (whether it's in the realm of grooming/hypnotic non-con/abuse territory or something less intense). Lean into all the powers of those needles...mind control/perception/etc, all that messed up stuff.
- It'd be interesting to see you depicting their relationship being messy versus more clear cut abuser/abused, and if there is some reciprocity of familial/something more there to make the situation more entangled in a wide-array of emotions.
- I also do do love killugon, so if you want to make that peripheral in the story or have Illumi and/or Killua super aware of it (or even better, twisting it in their own favour) to make things hurt more go RIGHT AHEAD! Kidnapping Gon/using needles on him to make Killua behave, or having Killua/Gon break out of that scenario would be *chef's kiss*
Back to the TopSK8 the Infinity
Nanjo Kojiro | Joe/Sakurayashiki Kaoru | Cherry Blossom/Shindo Ainosuke | Adam (SK8 the Infinity)
- I'm super intrigued with that stretch of time during their high school days versus present day and how that dynamic now plays out, in the past or into the future!
- For the past: how do they meet? How does Cherry's Adam worship start and how does that escalate? Does Joe know about it? Are Cherry and Joe a thing by the time they meet Adam or not? Does jealousy play into that? Do they talk about their feelings altogether or in duos until they inevitably crash together? There's a lot you don't see, so any missing scenes would be fantastic. How does it start? Who floats the idea? Is it teenage romance, stupidity, rebellion, manipulation, or what? All of it is good! Go as sweet or as dark as you'd like.
- How does it end (presumably when Adam leaves - or maybe not)? What happens when he returns and is someone different? Is there a confrontation? How does Joe and/or Cherry take it?
- Explore the "I want to know/see your true self" and/or "You guys were special" lines however you'd like! (Apologies if the translation isn't spot on I'm just rambling here).There is so so much there to untangle. I'm DISTRAUGHT.
- Post-canon, how does things change? Is there an apology or a heart-to-heart? Is there a smackdown? Both?
- If you decide to go more sexual/poly, how do they negotiate things? What are they all interested in? How do they marry all of that, which gets increasingly more difficult depending on which era you decide to depict them in.
- For these pairings I don't mind which ship(s) are more prominent, either in the past or present. Feel free to go more Joe/Cherry present day w/ past trauma from Adam or focus on the past with future musings or have Joe pine, or whatever mix/match of these three in poly land + whomever else from the cast you'd like to integrate!
I have read the entire manga but my memory's prettttty rusty now. That is to say, spoil away. :)
Hitsugaya Toushirou/Ichimaru Gin
- Once upon a time I was super super into this ship and their dynamic. Literally happy with anything given this is a pretty rare ship, so go with whatever your muse would like!!!
- There's something super enthralling about how their personalities clash and as the series go on. Classic enemies to lovers with a gazillion layers in between where they complement each other kind of but also learn/hate each other for being the kind of person they're not. Or just enemies in general, with guilt/confusion built in with no actual lovers but just (sexual) tension...
- Maybe that also gets resolved somehow - I like to know how/if they meet halfway, if they taunt each other during a battle to hash out their differences for example, to the brink of death, saving each other's lives for whatever purpose, etc!
- I like how teasing Ichimaru is and how well he plays his role, never giving away too much information and always staying so sly, esp with his manner of speaking. His personality is so interesting to dig into, and I really like Hitsugaya's distrust of him given his more strict moral code, but that's also as a result of his youth and I feel like he does grow a bit more out of that with experience and understanding that things are less black and white
- In a world where Hitsugaya gets captured as a prisoner, what ensues?
- Any number of canon divergence scenarios b/c again, canon's pretty much so fuzzy to me that I'd love to see the perspective you have on where they could've gone if one thing went differently. If the betrayal didn't happen in the beginning, if Ichimaru changed his allegiances or if Hitsugaya does, etc!
Back to the TopThanks so much!
