Relationships:

• Miranda/Alonso (Grandia III)

i will be honest with you: when miranda and alonso left, i got bored of grandia 3. miranda's relationship with yuki and alfina is so sweet, and her desire to care for them meeting her desire to go off and have her own experiences and live her own life is just. i love her and alonso. they're so sweet.

i would really enjoy seeing more of them. what are their adventures like during the plot of the rest of grandia 3? how do they come across yuki&co later? i'm a huge fan of rashomon-style fics, so i would super enjoy seeing miranda and alonso's reaction to hearing about things in the main plot secondhand and trying to piece together the real story. episolary would also be wonderful! so would worldbuilding about what they'd see!

grandia 3 is such a fun, weird game and that it let the older characters go off and have their own adventure is honestly so much fun and i want a game entirely about them. go to town! spoilers for the entire game is fine (i am using this as the inspiration to make me finish this game)

if you're interested in grandia 3 but haven't played it, there's a complete lp on the lp archive as found here. it's a very good lp by a nice team of people, and i recommend it!

Relationships:

• Amano Kazumi/Takaya Noriko (Top o Nerae! Gunbuster)

gunbuster at this point may be my absolute favorite anime ever, and a huge portion of that love is because of how seriously they take time dilation and the realities of FTL travel.

so what i'm saying is: i want to know what happens after the end. when noriko and kazumi return to earth, how do they find it? how do they integrate? do they join society, or are they just not equipped for that? are there any elements of the world they knew before?

i am so, so interested in the concept of a world out of time and characters stuck in a world out of time. the trauma of lonliness, the experience of being a stranger in a strange land that is in fact your own land means that gunbuster reminds me in a lot of ways of the dark tower series, with that same sense of timeless wonder and monumental loss.

i would be happy to see this either gen or ship, but would prefer the latter. an exploration of how their relationship changed and developed on their way back to earth, and how it continues to change once they're on earth and living in real time—that would be so cool.

if you're familiar with diebuster i would be SO excited to see this tie in with diebuster, particularly having lal-c meet noriko. how would that go down? what would noriko and kazumi think about diebuster and the creations of their legacy? the world they didn't even mean to birth?

they got such a bittersweet ending, and i want to see it.

major character death is 150% mega ultra okay. everyone major character death is fine. mcd with kazumi and noriko is fine. all canon character deaths are fine. not only is it okay i would strongly encourage mcd, that would be the spice of life to this request.

Relationships:

• Chocobo/Volg (Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales)
• Shirma/Irma (Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales)

chocobo tales is such a minor game, but it holds a huge and important place in my heart. it's one of my favorite games ever. the colorful visuals, the strong character designs, the hopeful story, the silly minigames, the SIGNIFICANT difficulty curve, the complete picture is just perfect to me.

volg and his interactions with the main chocobo are so foils, the mirror complications of the people they love most trusting them but at the same time recognizing that this trust is tangled up with loyalty and need and caretaking and also that shirma is kind while irma... is not always kind.

in a lot of ways volg and chocobo and irma and shirma just go together to me, two at a time. lesbians date, chocbos date, etc.

i would be happy to get just even fanart of this game, as it doesn't really exist much. shirma and irma kissing while volg and chocobo stand in the background and watch? volg in some of the different chocobo class gear from chocobo's mystery dungeon? shirma teaching irma to bake and volg and chocobo eating it? im not picky i just love them.

Relationships:

• Char Aznable/Amuro Ray/Lalah Sune (Mobile Suit Gundam 1979)

i think that, together, amuro ray and lalah sune could fix char aznable.

maybe.

i really don't have much more i can add beyond that—feel free to set it anywhere on the timeline (anywhere in zeta gundam or in char's counterattack or between the lot is fine, if you want to explore later parts of the timeline) since it's sort of... yeah. look. char has two hands, and amuro also has two hands and should probably throttle char with both of them while lalah sits on him so they can hold him down until he shuts up. or any other arrangement, really.

feel free to go pretty much any direction with this. i am not wedded to any amount of banter or argument—i just want to see more fic of the three of them, bc i love them together.

Relationships:

• Gabranth | Noah fon Ronsenburg/Larsa Ferrinas Solidor (FFXII)
• Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca & Gabranth | Noah fon Ronsenburg (FFXII)

i frequently request gabranth/larsa for a variety of exchanges, and if you're interested in creating for me, feel free to check my old requests out here for more prompts, likes, etc.

ivalice is my favorite fictional setting ever, and gabranth my favorite character. he's a terrible, broken man who is surviving half out of spite and half out of loyalty and where one begins and the other ends is hard for even him to tell, i think. he's willing to do horrible things for love, even when it isn't actually love he's doing those things for, but the idea of living for love is somehow even worse. the complexity of his total, unswerving loyalty to larsa mirrored with his loathing for basch partly because he sees himself in his brother is just. it's peak to me.

given that canon takes the ending of basch taking gabranth's place, i would be really curious to see what ashe's feelings really ARE on gabranth at the end of the game, particularly in an AU where he survives. does she forgive him? does she see the mirror that he and basch are to her and larsa? basch/ashe in the background is more than fine, i just don't want it to be the main focus.

ivalice has such a huge timeline to play around in that i always want to see more of it explored, and in particular how the events of ff12 impact the world going forward. there are centuries in the timeline that we don't know anything about, and how did those people view the golden age? how do the people of the tactics time view the golden age? do they look back on ashe and larsa and their knights and wonder "well, what really happened there"? i would be so curious to see through minor character eyes.

dnw: scat, noncon (dubcon and cnc are both fine)
