—FINAL FANTASY XII—
Ondore/Reddas
or: quail, where the FUCK did you get this pairing from what the fuckListen. LISTEN. There's that one scene where Reddas is leaning against Ondore's desk brandishing a bottle of booze while they discuss politics and it set something off in my BRAIN (first part of Giruvegan if u wanna check it out in the voice, as it were!). The something mainly being that Ondore is a manipulative, conniving old swine who will use people to get what he wants, and Reddas clearly knows something of this already! There's even official stuff in the Ultimania (translated by my good friend here) that says as much!
Becoming of a ruler of a state of miners, engineers and merchants with limited military resources, Ondore disdains war, preferring negotiation and trade, but if his hand is forced, he will "show no quarter," as Reddas notes, suggesting that his patience and pacifism barely outweighs his temper and pride.Reddas knows him well enough that he can give this impression of him, which I find FASCINATING. I mean also Ondore is in his 60s and Reddas is in his 30s and that's just fucking hot. I am a simple woman, I see old man, I lust. He just deserves to get some pirate arse, okay? Okay.
Prompts & Ideas
— Age gap: again, 60s and 30s!!!! THIS IS HOT!!! Ondore has that suave, political knowhow and Reddas just has... well, that everything.— Drunken merrymaking: idk, something about those bottles of booze man. I just have this image of Reddas throwing an arm around Ondore's shoulder and roaring out some pirate shanty bullshit while they're both drunk as skunks. It's cute. Maybe they have drunk sex afterwards. But ofc Reddas has a lot of (badly) suppressed guilt about Nabudis, so maybe he drinks to forget. Ondore helps him forget, for a moment, at least.
— Disability: Ondore walks with a limp and uses a cane, maybe he's particularly good with that cane! Maybe he holds Reddas down with it while he fucks him! But more importantly, I'd love something with Reddas showing an unexpected tender side when it comes to Ondore's leg. Big gruff pirate he may be, but he has a good heart and I like to think he'd be gentle. Besides, he knows what it's like to keep something within and away from the world - his might not be physical pain, but Reddas understands.
— Desk sex: that desk is hot okay? I want Ondore leaning against it, holding onto his cane for dear life while Reddas gives him a fucking mind-blowing blowjob. Or Ondore bending over said desk while Reddas rails him within an inch of his life, or the other way round, I'm not fussy on top/bottom order. Also good: big burly pirate sitting in large desk chair while Ondore rides him.
Bonus moe points
— Ondore's Nose, Reddas' sideburns, Ondore's curly grey hair, Reddas' little fucking COLLAR.Ship Specific DNWs
— Yes I know Reddas dies, we're not thinking about it!! I can't think of a way that a fix-it would work without removing his agency in atoning for his past sins. If you can and you have a specific idea that would work for this, please go ahead, but I do think that sacrifice is an important part of his characterisation, and I emphatically do not want it erasing or handwaving away.GHIS/BERGAN
Yes I know, this one is almost as cracky as Ondore/Reddas, but allow me to explain: horrible old men hot. Horrible old men being horrible to each other hot!! Are they scrunkly looking? Yes! Are they defeated by their own horribleness and hubris? Yes!! Have they even spoken in the game on screen? No!! Does that matter? NO!They would be incredibly hot together, and part of that is how different their politics and even bearings are. Bergan really worships Vayne, even his very addressing is ultra respectful, and everything he does is towards his goal;
"Ivalice hails her true Dynast-King, Vayne Solidor! He shall defy the will of the gods, and see the reins of History back in the hands of Man!"As his Ultimania page says, he's a military man who believes that might makes right, which makes the excellent military strategist Vayne perfect for his admiration.
Compare this with Ghis, who holds such contempt for Vayne that his own downfall is brought about because of it - he believes he'd be a better emperor;
"Blood alone does not an emperor make, Vayne."he has no loyalty or respect for Vayne personally (see translation here from his Ultimania character page).
Imagine them both fighting and sniping about politics! Additionally, Ghis is the replacement Judge Magister for the missing Zecht, who we know Bergan had great regard for, so I can imagine he'd be even more pissed that his friend was replaced with this pathetic paper-pushing bureaucrat. I like to imagine that they argue a lot, maybe spar too because I'm a slut for a sparring situation, but end up with a grudging admiration for the other completely unexpectedly. Bergan has a temper, speaks abrasively and seems prone to violence (potentially exacerbated by his nethicite bones but that's just speculation!), and I can imagine him being very easily provoked by Ghis - on the flipside, Ghis is a fussy, ostentatious man, easily needled and always condescending. It's a good combo!!
As a note, I know that the Ultimania says that Bergan is 33 and Ghis 41, but I call bullshit to that! I headcanon Ghis to be at least in his late 50s and Bergan in his mid 40s, so still a nice little age gap.
Prompts & Ideas
— Sparring: whether verbal or physical, sparring with these two is fucking hot! Maybe Bergan is trying to teach Ghis how to fight properly, maybe they're taking out some frustrations on each other, maybe Ghis sees Bergan training every day when he's leaving his offices and he's all hot and sweaty and he pours a big thing of water over his head to cool down and it's all Ghis can think about for that night as he guiltily wanks himself into a stupor, much to his disgust at himself!— Nethicite: we know that Bergan has nethicite implanted into his bones by Dr Cid, but what happens after that? What are the implications of that on Bergan physically and mentally? Can he heal? Can he come back from the dead, even (if we ignore the events of Bur Omisace ofc lol)? Does it make his already hot temper even worse? Was he sworn to secrecy by Cid, and how does he deal with the changes in his body after the surgery? There is an implication that nethicite enhances strength, and this is super fucking hot to consider! Bergan having to hold back his new strength, to learn how to use it and not accidentally kill whoever he's using it on! How would Ghis react to all this? The possibilities!!!
— Armour kink: both Ghis and Bergan wear pretty heavy armour, even if Ghis is the lightest-armoured out of all the Judge Magisters. This gives, naturally, a loooot of opportunity for armour kink! I love sex in armour, gauntlets for fisting and fingering, even just pressing one another against the wall and mutually jerking off is so good. Armour care is also very very hot, as well as careful removal of all the pieces after a particularly hard battle, maybe with wounds to take care of as well! With all the prickliness they'd both show at being injured and needing to be mended eheh.
— Gloves, leather and weaponry: self explanatory! Both men use very nice, if impractical weapons, Ghis wears leather gloves topped with light armour and Bergan has similar leather looking gloves but with much heavier armour on the backs. Ah the possibilities! Weapon maintenance, leather/glove kink, metal and leather against hot flesh, hrrghh hot as fuck.
— Size difference: so it's really hard to tell their height difference with both wearing those helmets, but consider that Ghis is clearly a mage, his first recourse aboard the Leviathan is to conjure a powerful spell and only when that fails does he resort to his weapons. Bergan on the other hand uses a pair of ridiculous sword... hacking... things, that probably take a lot of strength to wield. Plus I like to think he's properly massive under that armour - his thighs alone look HUGE so you know. Large strong man, smaller magick man, hot hot hot. I know that Bergan has no scars on his face that we see in the small amount of time it's visible, but I like to think he has quite a few all over his body from his lifetime of fighting - maybe he has some new ones from the nethicite surgery!
Bonus moe points
— Both of their massive honking noses, Ghis' stupid little goatee and fancy curled hair (what does THAT look like all messed up huh?!), Bergan's properly nasty little smirks and his big mane of hair, how both of them are definitely not handsome in any traditional sense of the wordSummer of Horror Prompts
Body Horror/Medical Horror— Judge Magister Bergan, that guy with fucking nethicite surrounding his fucking bones. Fucking lunatic man, what does this do to him!! Does it fuck him up when he gets killed? Does it make him come back to life? If they had a relationship before, what does Ghis think of Bergan's transformation? Would he know/find out somehow? Would he then delight in pushing Bergan to his limits?
Genre vibes I love: transformation, loss of control over their own bodies and actions, recovery after traumatic surgery. In media res up close POVs during surgery. Terrifying effects of the procedure, restraints.
Art ideas: Bergan's large body restrained. Ghis at his bedside while he sleeps (though reluctantly). Ghis pushing Bergan to his new limits then regretting it. Blood, depictions of nethicite.
Monster Horror
— Still with the similar Bergan Nethicite Bones Shit as above, but a more AU version where he changes into something new and large. Transformed Bergan fucking Ghis. Werewolf Bergan with a vampire or still Hume Ghis?
Genre vibes I love: chases, physical differences (size, bulk etc.)
Art ideas: Ghis' disgust at his transformation. New physical differences between them both. Mid-transformation, visceral imagery. A chase scene.
Ship Specific DNWs
— I don't really want any other background, implied or past ships with these two please! So no Ghis/Ondore or Bergan/Zecht etc.CID/VAYNE
"Won't Cid be eager to learn what has happened here. History begins anew."It's all this quote, I tell you what. I mean, also the fact that they were clearly close! Vayne funds Draklor, I like to imagine that he spent a lot of time there through his life - maybe Cid was the father figure he was sorely missing from Gramis. Also just check out the section on honorifics from the Ultimania here - they consider each other as equals and comrades! AHHHH!!!
Prompts & Ideas
— Age gap: yeah this one definitely counts for them! Vayne is 27 and Cid is 58, that's some good shite! Especially since the Ultimania translation mentions him using 'anta' to refer to Vayne, which has connotations of "you, young man", and I'm fucking obsessed. I can't decide who I'd prefer to top or bottom in this scenario, both is good!— Incest: okay, so pseudo incest, work with me here. You know how up there I said that it would be interesting if Vayne saw Cid as a bit of a father figure? That, in the context of them fucking, oh boy. Really leaning into the incest kink of it all, good shite.
— Missing scenes: we know that Vayne funded Draklor secretly, and I like to imagine that he spent a long time there with Cid, learning about his research and his vision. What did they do on these visits? Did he stay up late with Cid, knowing he'd be up all night buried in his work? Does he help a little, or do they have just talks about their plans? I love that Vayne was Cid's confidante, which I think we can imply from the fact that he knows Venat and was fully bought into his plans to place the reins of history back in the hands of man.
— Gadgets/Technology: Cid is such an inventor I would find it very suspicious if he hadn't come up some interesting ways to bring tech into the bedroom! Feel free to go completely wild with any of the stuff in my likes here - bondage tech, sounding, fuck machines, it's all good!
— Post-game: I absolutely LOVE the thought of these two meeting again in the afterlife, celebrating the fruition of all their hard work and sacrifice, maybe lamenting the pain Vayne had to suffer to bring it all to an end. I really really love exploration of a post-game Vayne who's disabled from becoming the Undying, because that transformation looks so fucking painful! It has to have left scars and damage - imagine Cid finding him in the afterlife, cradling his now-broken body and nursing him back to "life" or ghostly consciousness at least. This is one instance where the "no unhappy endings" can be waived, because although I would love them both to survive, the culmination of the game is actually really satisfying to me because they won, against all odds, and they're both men who were willing to do whatever it took to bring that about. UGH SWEET PAIN, SO DELICIOUS.
— Cid-centric: I'd love to see any exploration of Cid! His journey to Giruvegan, his first meeting with Venat, how his experimentation with nethicite went and how he produced manufacted nethicite, how he designed the Bahamut (for Vayne!!! [insert sobbing face here]). Even something post-game - I'm a sucker for afterlife stuff, but if he or Vayne were to somehow miraculously survive, I'd very much enjoy that as well!
Bonus moe points
— The way Cid talks real fast and excited when he's onto a subject he's passionate about, his stupid little laugh, his cute glasses and chunky older man body (HRRGHH), Vayne's fantastic nose and his beautiful hair, his sharp intelligence being a match for Cid's, both of them bent over some research or other, hands barely touching and a shiver of potential between them...Summer of Horror Prompts
Body Horror— I love the thought that Cid went to Giruvegan and came back wrong somehow. What if he gets possessed by Venat and its not something they can undo? The horror of his body no longer being his own, especially for someone with Cid's mind! Would he confide in Vayne? Would Vayne help him overcome it? Vayne's horrific transformation into the Undying would be fun to explore. Whatever they go through, I'd love it to have permanently disabling consequences! Genre vibes I love: transformation, loss of control over their own bodies and actions, permanent injuries/disabilities.
Art ideas: Mid/Post-transformation, disability. Splashes of bright blood. Changes in eyes from possession.
Cosmic Horror
— The whole Occuria Thing pings this hard. Cid having a period of madness post-Giruvegan? Trying to explain the enormity of his task to Vayne? Venat showing it to both of them?
Genre vibes I love: Really Big Things, the unknowable vastness of space, really alien gods.
Art ideas: tiny figures huge spaces! Glass/mirrors. Really alien Occuria/their true forms?
Worldbuilding
— Anything you might want to explore around Giruvegan, the Nabreus Deadlands and the Necrohol of Nabudis among these two would be amazing! Any guilt from Cid about his part in Nabudis? Anything really to do with the Mist and how it taints things/contorts them beyond themselves is so tasty.
Art ideas: tiny figures among giant locations like concept art, people/monsters fucked up by Mist. Lots of colours in one focused area contrasting with deep shadows. Figures lurking round corners or underwater like the Dead Marshes in lotr.
Basch/Noah
I love everything about Basch/Noah so damn much! Their antagonism, their complicated past, how Noah holds so much hatred in his heart for Basch after he abandoned him and their mother, and their homeland to the Empire. He was left to watch their mother waste away from illness in Archades all alone, had to abandon his family name and live with being an outsider forced to bend to his country's conquerors - it's no wonder he's so bitter, as described in an Ultimania entry here. He's also completely unable to be calm at Basch's presence or even any mentions of him, which is fantastic!Prompts & Ideas
— Antagonism: I'm endlessly fascinated with their antagonism, how much Noah's carried with him that's just festered over the years. How he's doing his duty, speeching at Ashe at the Pharos, trying to goad her to find out her real purpose, then the very second Basch speaks, he loses all semblance of calm and flies into a rage. I love Basch's response to this, the difference in their temperaments and what men they've been forged into.— Sparring: I love to think about them sparring together, honing their skills, getting sweaty and maybe abandoning weapons and wrestling, skin to skin. Or using the weapons in creative ways.
— Post-game/Fix it: As should not be a surprise, I love post-game exploration for ffxii, and this ship is no exception! I love it when Noah survives (in whatever way you fancy) and has to deal with all he's wrought, rebuilding their relationship from the roots upwards. How would he work with Basch after everything that happens at the end of the game? Would he stay around with him and Larsa?
— Disability: I greatly enjoy the idea of a Noah who's still alive at the end of the game but has some lasting damage from his injuries. I'm not fussed what form this takes, but I'd love exploration of how this affects him, how he has to adapt.
— Twins: Twincest good!! I love how identical they are, save for Basch's scar and their hairstyles, and I LOVE how Basch cuts his hair at the end of the game so he looks even more like Noah. I love it when there's focus on how they look alike while fucking, really kinking on it. Good shite.
— Reconciliation: Kinda tied into the post-game ideas, I wanna see him and Basch reconcile. I wanna see every painful step of it, can they ever get back to how they were before, as boys? They've both gone through so much - can Basch forgive Noah for what he's done? Can Noah forgive Basch for abandoning them? Yes please!!
Ashe/Basch/Vossler
It's all about that *fist clench* Loyalty Kink. I love to think about Basch and Vossler being Ashe's sworn vassals, from when she was young, how she fitted into their relationship, whether theirs was pre-existing or not. How they're both so loyal to her, but in different ways. I like this ship as a threesome and I also love Ashe/Basch, Ashe/Vossler and Basch/Vossler so any combo of the three is good!I'm easy on their dynamics, but I do enjoy Ashe being her bossy, dominant self. I'm also easy on configuration of penises into holes too, basically any way round is good! Ashe with the strap? >:3c
Prompts & Ideas
— Loyalty kink: Swearing their allegiance, how both Basch and Vossler are so loyal to Ashe in their own ways, how they'd do anything to protect her.— Sparring: I love to think about them sparring together, honing their skills, getting sweaty and maybe abandoning weapons and wrestling, skin to skin. Or using the weapons in creative ways.
— Training/sparring: I headcanon that Vossler and Basch taught Ashe to fight - she's clearly already able to use a sword when we meet her as Amalia, and I want to see them training her! This can be pre-game when she's younger or during the Resistance times, or even post-game if you go for a fix it kinda situation. She might be queen now, but she's gotta keep up her ability, right!
— Fix it: No body, no death right? RIGHT?! I just want Vossler to have to live and confront his mistakes!! If Noah also lives, does Basch stay in Dalmasca with Ashe and Vossler? Or does he have to split his duties between Larsa and Ashe, for the vow he made to Noah? As a note on this specifically, I love Noah/Basch, so if you want to mention their complicated relationship then it's fine, but I'd rather them be two separate AUs, never the twain shall meet.
— Age difference: Ashe is a fair bit younger than Vossler and Basch and I love that a lot. I like it if their relationship develops before the game, when Ashe is a younger princess, or even if it develops to fruition during the game's events.
— Forgiveness: It's a running theme with these three! Ashe forgiving Basch after she realises it wasn't him who killed Raminas, how Basch and Ashe would both have to forgive Vossler after the Leviathan, if he doesn't die there (see fix it above!). How would their relationship fall back into place after this, with Ashe now as queen?
Worldbuilding Tags
— WB: Post-Game Dalmasca-Archadia Relations: I love this ideas a worldbuilding tag - how would Basch and Ashe deal with relations between the countries post-game? How would Basch's post as Gabranth and Judge Magister work with their relationship? And from a non-ship perspective, I'd love any exploration of how both countries move forward as allies post-warAshe/Al-Cid/Balthier
I love Ashe/Balthier, I love Balthier/Al-Cid and I love Ashe/Al-Cid, and all three of them together strike me as a really good combination. They're all so hot as well, god. I love this ship in a post-game capacity, where they finally get to act on all the intense flirting, as well as an all-sided sort of threesome where they're all super horny for each other. I like this ship as a threesome and I also love Ashe/Balthier, Ashe/Al-Cid and Balthier/Al-Cid so any combo of the three is good!Prompts & Ideas
— Courting: I love to think of Ashe and Balthier falling in love during the game, then Al-Cid appears at Bur-Omisace and throws a wrench in the whole situation. They both court her furiously, while also courting each other at the same time maybe!— Sky piracy: The end of the game makes me cry so much ("I love you enough to let you go free" thanks Kiss Me Goodbye!!!!), and I love the thought that Balthier continues to be a sky pirate while dropping in on Ashe and Al-Cid between jobs, snatching meetings whenever they can.
— Visiting Rozarria: Ashe going to finally see Rozarria with Balthier along for the visit. Al-Cid showing them both around his country and his home, showing them beautiful sights and meals and decadence. A real Rozarrian welcome, and sex under the stars on his balcony.
— Courtly romance: I'm a sucker for courtly romance, so I'd love to see Al-Cid and Ashe in this situation, especially with Balthier thrown into the mix. Dances at Ashe's court, how they all navigate her queendom and the relationship between their countries!
— Politics: One of my fave things about ffxii is how political the story is, and I'd love to see more of that with the relations between Rozarria and Dalmasca after the war is over. Ashe negotiating with the Margraces, their marriage perhaps being a political alliance but a happy one again. How would Balthier be involved in this situation?
—FINAL FANTASY XIV—
Sartauvoir/Basch
WHERE do I fuckin start! Where?! You know up there where I mentioned age difference and loyalty kink? Yeah, this is the one. This is the fuckin one. Okay so they might have maybe 30 years age difference, but that's still good! It's still hot!!So. The manifesto on these two guys you've potentially never heard of (unless you're one of like 5 whole people who ship it, in which case HELLO I am preaching to the converted!). Basch van Gabranth, deceased long before we meet any of the IVth Legion in game. A Knight who bent the knee to the Garlean Empire upon their conquest of Landis and one who seems to garner intensely fierce loyalty from all members of the IVth, Sartauvoir being no exception. We don't know much about Basch himself, only that his son Noah continues to uphold his values, and that the IVth is comprised almost entirely of non-native Garleans, who are described as having "fervent adoration" for their Legatii.
Then we have Sartauvoir quo Soranus, Mage-Knight of Mannatheihwo, described as a sadistic pyromaniac whose favourite pastime is burning people alive. After the conquering of Mannatheihwo, the Mage-Knights spread to all corners of Landis. Basch wanted to create a contingent of his own sorcerers to counter the Dalmascan war mages, so he sent men to recruit Sartauvoir, who himself was in hiding, posing as a tutor and academic. Sartauvoir rebuffed their efforts multiple times, right up until Basch decided to take things into his own hands.
One day, Sartauvoir was greeted at his place of learning by a soldier unfamiliar to him. Though the soldier stood alone, was advanced in years, and carried not even a dagger in his hand, Sartauvoir knew in an instant that even his most potent incantations would be no match for this man. So it was that he exchanged words face-to-face for the first time with Basch van Gabranth, and so it was that the mage - struck to his very core by the legatus's words - did swear to him his undying loyalty.After this, Basch dies at some nebulous point in time (I reckoned this to be around 2 years, from the lore in the node at Gangos), and yet 30 years later, Sartauvoir pretty much has mentionitis about his beloved Legatus. When you fight him during the Dalriada, he mentions Basch like three times in the little popup voicelines, saying that he taught him well, that he can't sully his memory by giving up, and then, finally (and this one's the kicker), that he will not be dying alone, and that he prays Basch is watching him.
Well, ships have been born from less! But this one gets me right in the feelies. SO, onwards we go!
Prompts & Ideas
— loyalty kink: is the real fucker here. Yeah, Basch is dead in game, but what the fuck did he say to Sart to get him to be that loyal in the first place? They must have been having some glorious fucks or something, to say the least. Really go ham on this if you want to, it's the Good Shite!— Age gap: yeah we don't know Basch's age, but I reckon he was probably in his 50s-60s before he died, and since Sart is 61 in current Bozja timeline, he was probably about 30 when he got recruited. HOT.
— Sad ending: this is where you can start working on this, since they've technically already HAD their sad ending. We might kill Sart during the attack on the Dalriada, but to him, that's a good thing because he can finally reunite with his beloved Legatus after 30 long fucking years. He can finally not be alone. [insert sobbing here]
— Training and sparring: Sart's voice line says "Legatus Basch taught me well, as you will now see!" during his Dal fight, so that implies heavily that either Basch got very involved training his men (I can see it, tbh!) or that he was personally heavily involved in training Sartauvoir alone. HOT. We don't know what weaponry Basch favours, but loading in Noah's data in modding software shows us that he uses twin swords, so it's not too big of a leap to think he learned that from his father. Mage-Knights I headcanon to fight with staff and sword, and since Sart uses a sword in his transformed form in Dalriada, you could use that.
— Transformation kink and/or teratophilia: Sartauvoir has two completely different transformed forms; one from his duel "And the Flames Went Higher" and one in Dalriada. The duel form resembles a large fiery golem (looks like the Living Flame/Living Liquid monster), and the Dal form uses the Lugus model from the Grand Cosmos. Both of which are LARGE. This is HOT. I like to think Basch finds this really sexy, like oh my god this lanky beanpole of a mage-knight who spends all his time highly covered up can turn into these huge things? HOT.
— Fireplay: Sart is a pyromancer supreme, and his control of the flames is said to be second to none. So basically, go mad with this one! Flame coating hands, heated yet totally safe and trailing a hot, hot path up a shivering spine, keeping tight hold of that control so he doesn't burn them both up as he comes, fire cockrings, GOD you name it, you can be totally creative with this shit, even to the point of Sart leaving little burns on Basch's skin to mark him if you want (although this isn't compulsory ofc, it's more about the control factor!).
— Disability: this one is more of a headcanon, but I find it interesting that Sart wears a huge hat, which has a built-in eyepatch over one eye, and then an even bigger swathe of hair covering his other eye. I suspect he has some eye damage or trauma necessitating the eyepatch situation. Building on this, I like to hc that he's a little shy about that - his outfit itself is quite flashy, so I think he's a fastidious man who cares about his appearance, and it follows to me that he might not want people to see the eye because of this. This is obviously all conjecture and headcanon, but if you wanted to incorporate that I'd love to see something around how he deals with letting himself be vulnerable with Basch. Similarly, we know that Basch "succumbed to a deadly illness", and he was in his late prime/getting on in years when they met - it could be interesting to have some exploration on how he deals with this (but nothing too sad/dwelling on the morbidity unless it's going to have a happy ending please! I love hurt/comfort but the comfort gotta be there).
— Fluff: Really fucking sappy shit. Like, idk, I usually love rough kinky sex but outside of the fireplay stuff (which honestly is more about the control and the emphatically not hurting) for these guys I just really want them to be fucking happy old men together. What do they do in their (probably very rare) downtime? What's their reunion after both their deaths like? Soft, gentle sex, god even just like... laying in front of the fire with Sart reading a big dusty tome in Basch's lap while he plays with his hair. UGH. I know this might be vaguely OOC for what is a pair of one sadistic pyromaniac and one commander of a Legion in war, but the heart wants what it wants.
Bonus moe points
— Sart's stupid fucking hat, Basch's big nose, both their damn beards, Basch wearing glasses as he got olderReferences
— Here's some refs of how I imagine Basch to look! This is the model I use for my screenshots (which you can find a whole thread of here on my twitter!) :3< *I should also mention that since Basch is pretty much a blank slate character, please don't feel like you have to follow the characterisation from my fics or anything! I'd love to see more interpretations of him, I live for that shit!Worldbuilding Tags
— WB: Post-Liberation Bozja Restoration: What would a Bozja post-liberation look like? How closely would it resemble Basch's ideals he was fighting so hard for?— WB: Culture of Mannatheihwo and its Mage Knights: I'm endlessly fascinated by Mannatheihwo and what it was like before its conquering by Garlemald. Were there academies dedicated to the training of the Mage Knights? What sort of weaponry and magickal specialisations did they usually lean towards? Were there recruitment drives? Did all magickally inclined children get siphoned into the group?
Lyon/Menenius
GOD I fucking love them so much!!! I've been on the Lyon/Menenius train since their first lot of cutscenes and I'm still not off it. Old men? Check. Superior/inferior relationship? Check! Uptight, tightly wound asshole/boisterous troublemaker? CHECK. They were like made in a science lab, directly for me!!! Also I'm obsessed with Menenius sacrificing himself for Lyon, despite all their bickering. It just. OUGHHHHH. FEELINGS!!!!! SO MANY FEELINGS!!!!!Prompts & Ideas
— Fix It: I LOVE Menenius sacrificing himself for Lyon, but I also would love it if he's still alive afterwards! I am very firmly tin hat screwed on that he did in fact survive and is being hidden away by Lyon and Pagaga, so exploration of that would be amazing! Lyon gruffly nursing him back to health like he's one of his beloved beasts! Careful post-injury sex!! Menenius having some sort of permanent disability afterwards! It's all good. It would be very fun if they'd been dancing around a relationship before the Dalriada but never got to act on them because, well, wartime, and then they finally confess and consummate when Menenius is recovering or fully better!— Power Dynamics: Menenius is Lyon's superior and I'm obsessed with it!! I love how unruly Lyon is, it's very fun when Menenius brings him to heel like the rabid dog he is. I love it when Menenius is the dom, but I'm easy on top/bottom variations (both? Both is good!), and I also like it when Lyon takes charge! Basically any combo haha.
— Professions: So we know that Menenius' has his "own pride and joy - a fearsome detachment of magitek warmachina", and obviously Lyon is a famed beastmaster. I'd love some exploration of either of them just being competent with their jobs. I hc that Menenius is pretty good at engineering and magitek stuff, especially because of Saunion (his big magitek thing during their Dalriada fight), so it'd be fun to see something about that. Maybe Menenius helping Lyon out on one day to look after his beasts? Or accompanying him to a delicate location to pilfer an egg that later hatches to be Dawon? Helping him while he has his hands full with sick creatures? Endless possibilities!
— Age Difference: Menenius is 55 and Lyon is 68, so they're both on the older end, but Lyon is still older and I love that (surprise surprise)! He also isn't above lording his age over people, as we see by him calling everyone "boy", including Menenius himself - this is fun during sex stuff! And it's very fun considering their power dynamics as well, since Menenius is his commanding officer!
— Armour Kink: Menenius wears the usual Garlean officer full suit of armour, and it's so fucking hot. I love to imagine him fucking Lyon while still wearing most of it, or Lyon fucking him while he's wearing it. Fingering or jerking off using those gloves, it's all good. It's a super hot contrast to Lyon, who wears basically as little clothes as he can manage lol.

— WB: Acquisition & Training Of New Beasts In The IVth Legion Beastmasters: I LOVE the Beastmasters of the IVth and I'd love to see anything about them, really. How do they hunt their beasties? Clarricie and Lyon especially, those are some rare-ass guys!! Do they take eggs? Do they have special training programs?— WB: Logistics & Management of IVth Legion Beastmasters: Basically similar to the above - I'd love any detail about this tbh! How do they manage husbandry and keeping of so many different and varied beasts? I bet it's hell on the inventories! Travelling? Barracks getting burnt down by over-eager beasts?
Quintus/Jullus
Garlemald was the best section of Endwalker, don't @ me! And you know why? Because Quintus and Jullus exist. I know Quintus is a controversial character to like, but it's like he was made specifically for me - old man, giant nose, big fluffy, soft-looking beard, generally kind of a douchebag. And that armour! Hot!! I'm just generally fascinated with him, and especially with his relationship with the young officer Jullus pyr Norbanus, the youngest person to make the rank of 'pyr'. :3I find Quintus a tragic figure - he's so patriotic, blindly so, and so firm on his pride that he can't conceive of even the idea of non-Garleans wanting to help his people. He's stuck in the past, and I'm obsessed!
Prompts & Ideas
— Age gap: HELLO!! We don't know how old Quintus is but he looks to be in his 50s imo, maybe older! And although we don't know how old Jullus is, it's said he's the youngest person to make 'pyr', and since we know that Llofii pyr Potitus is 19, I reckon Jullus is 17, 18 at the oldest (I don't mind if you HC him younger, but no younger than 16 please)! That age gap is fucking delicious, so focusing on that would be A+++.— Disability: Quintus' lore says he was severely injured during the first tempering incident, and he lost the ability to wield his weapon. Exploration of this would be amazing! How does Quintus feel, losing everything that he thought he was? We don't know what weapon he favoured outside of the fateful (and beautiful) gun, and his armour is the Scouting set, so feel free to go ham with whichever weapon he might have lost the use of. Does he take out his new weakness on Jullus? Maybe he uses their relationship as a private place where he can take back some of the control he feels he's lost - feel free to lean into a D/s relationship here if you want to, dom!Quintus is GOOD SHITE and Jullus makes such a pretty little sub. Whatever you decide for his injury (leg, hip, whatever), I'd love it if he had something physical underneath his armour - harsh, twisted scarring, a leg brace - or even if he uses an aid when he's alone or with Jullus only.
— Weaponplay: Gun play, knife play, sword play, all is good! Jullus sucking off his beautiful pistol, or Quintus playing with him with a wicked little knife, even with a gunblade if you can wangle it. Hrrrghhh.
— Power Imbalance: Quintus is obviously not only Jullus' superior, he's also much older than him, so there's power imbalance in a few different angles, and I love that shit! Jullus calling him Ser; Quintus giving him orders as he fucks him; forcing him to suck his cock under the desk as he does paperwork; maybe that's even how Jullus got his promotion, by being an eager little cockslut. I do prefer it if Quintus does have genuine feelings for Jullus though, and vice versa - maybe neither of them expected feelings to happen, but oops! You've gone and fallen for the stern old man who's your superior! I also love a focus on Quintus' very presence - he's max height for a Midlander and Jullus is min height, so although that doesn't make Quintus very tall compared to other Garleans who use Elezen models, he still has that broad, confident older man presence to him that lets him control any room he's in. Jullus finds this exceptionally attractive! This could also feature in some loyalty kink as well, if you so desired!
— Armour and clothes kink: I'm obsessed with people staying fully clothed or fully armoured while fucking, and these two are no exception! Quintus wears some really hot gauntlets, fisting is good, you know what could make it better? Gauntleted fisting. Or Jullus rutting up against his armour, begging for Quintus to let him come or begging for him to bend him over that ratty sofa and fuck his mouth until he passes out from lack of air (I HC that Quintus has a really big cock so pls run with that!) Or what if they were going to a formal event but Jullus has never worn a fancy suit before and he doesn't know how to tie his tie - Quintus comes up behind him and guides his hands in the motions, watching him in the mirror the whole time. If he's good, Quintus might use that tie later on, either to tie Jullus' hands or keeping it around his neck, holding him up with it as he fucks his mouth. Erotic asphyxiation is great for these two, especially if it's involving Quintus' fat cock or his beautiful pistol. Also the idea of Quintus in a dress uniform, maybe with some medals, is unbearably hot. HRRGHHH.
— Fluff: And then after all that kink, honestly I'd just love anything with them being tender - Quintus can be rough and stern, but at the end of the day he does have feelings for Jullus, though he'd probably never say them out loud in as many words. Showing that love with tender touches, careful aftercare maybe, ugh. Good shite.
Ship-Specific DNWs
— Although I like fucked up flavours for these two, I prefer them to have some feelings for each other at least (not necessarily healthy ones!)!Gaius/Estinien
One of my biggest FFXIV ships forreals!! I love their appearances in Stormblood, how they travelled together and seemingly grew quite close. All the opportunities for missing scenes or travel fic are very fun!They're both fairly stoic guys, fairly traumatised by their relative experiences, and I'd absolutely love to see how their relationship continues post-Stormblood and onwards - especially in Dawntrail with Estinien's new travelling around and Gaius staying in Terncliff to try and fix his sins.
Gaius is one of my favourite XIV characters in general, I find him so complex and interesting and I love to see fics dealing with how scarred he is, weighed down by his regrets and mistakes and all the deaths on his conscience, including those of his children. I've written a bunch of fic about these two, so feel free to peruse for the types of things I enjoy!
Prompts & Ideas
— Age gap: The usual for me, I know! I love old man Gaius and 33(ish) year old Estinien, it's good shite.— Disability: I headcanon that the reason Gaius' arm and hand is so swathed in bandages all the time is that he's got some sort of lasting injury after the explosion he was caught in at the Praetorium. It'd be fun to see some exploration of this!
— Weaponplay: Gun play, knife play, sword play, again, all excellent shit. Especially if you involve Heirsbane!! One sexy gunblade, that is. I've written a fair bit of this for these two.
— Armour and clothes kink: Even though they both wear fairly scraggly clothes, some sort of kinking on that would always be welcome. Leather gloves, boots, harnesses, Estinien's armour, it's all excellent!
— Fluff: Yeah yeah, I know I know. But I'd love to see them having little quiet moments of sweetness, even if they're both really gruff about it! Reading together, Estinien showing Gaius some of the delicious foods he's experienced, or him taking Gaius to some of the beautiful locations in Tulliyollal!
Ship-Specific DNWs
— I'd prefer no Allie to be written in - I don't mind her being briefly referenced, but I'd prefer to read about Gaius and Estinien only.— This shouldn't need to be said, but absolutely no Gaius bashing please!
—FINAL FANTASY VII: ALL MEDIA TYPES—
Cid Highwind/Vincent Valentine
Ahh one of my oldest OTPs!! I've been absolutely in love with valenwind since I first played the OG way back when, they just have something so so good!! It's about the *fist clench* opposites attract, you know?! Finding common ground even when they feel so completely different upon their first meeting, how they've both been fucked over by ShinRA in some way or another! I love their little interactions in the OG, going off to their room(s) (you KNOW it's a shared room!!) in the Saucer, Vincent saying he admires Cid's "go get 'em attitude"!!For Remake/Rebirth, I was a little disappointed by how little interactions they got, BUT I love how there's so much room between scenes where they're hanging out by the Bronco, it gives so much room for playing around! Also their Saucer date just fucked me up lmao, I know it was meant to be the joke option, but my god. Fed.
Prompts & Ideas
— Monsterfucking: Excellent from Cid's point of view!!— Vincent focus: Exploration of Vincent's monstrous side as a character study
— Cid focus: Cid's engineering expertise, getting dirty under his airship
— Weapons & weaponry porn: Weapons maintenance, or maintenance of Vincent's arm - can be sexy or not!
— Disability: Vincent's arm being a prosthetic, exploration of its loss, how it affects him, use of it during sex
— Cigarettes: Sharing a smoke, stubbing them out on each other, shotgunning smoke, lighting up under the Highwind in a rainstorm
Bonus moe points
— Cid being a brash, loud, abrasive and especially sweary kinda guy, Vincent being pretty much the opposite; Vincent's big cloak he hides in, Cid's fucking bow-legged run, AUGHSummer of Horror Prompts
Body Horror/Monster Horror— More focused on Vincent here, but I LOVE his Chaos and Galian Beast et al side, and I'd love to see something around that! Particularly visceral transformations, does he have to isolate himself to protect others or out of shame? But also I love Cid enjoying that monstrous side of Vincent. Getting a thrill out of being chased, or their physical differences. I'd also LOVE some sort of AU with Cid transforming into something?
Genre vibes I love: transformation, loss of control
over their own bodies and actions, shame about monstrous sides and fear of hurting/killing loved ones.
Art ideas: dark and gothic, lots of black and red with shards of blue shining through for Cid. Claustrophobic locations (Shinra Manor?). Obvious physical differences. Bloody and visceral transformations. Outright monsterfucking.
Cosmic/Science Fiction Horror
— I'd love something around Cid going to space again in some way! But once he gets there, the cold vastness of it all overwhelms him and he turns to Vincent for comfort. Catastrophes on the Highwind/Shera stranding them both in space? Some sort of vast, unknowable Space Thing they have to defeat in some way. Virus, AI, Big Fucking Monster, go mad.
Genre vibes I love: Fucked up AIs gone wrong, claustrophobic spaceships with vastness outside. Trapped somewhere they can't escape.
Art ideas: the vastness of space, tiny figures in a tiny ship. The ship being taken over/grabbed by something monstrous. Dark shadows and bright pinpricks of light.
Ship Specific DNWs
— No "old man yaoi" for these two please! Cid is 32. Also no "starshine" nickname for Vincent!Reeve Tuesti/Heidegger
One of the most surprising ships for me to come out of Remake with and no mistake! Reeve spends SO long looking like a sad kicked puppy, especially in reaction to a lot of Heidegger's bullshit, that I just think it'd be nice for him to get dommed within an inch of his life by that hot giant of an old man!!! Nothing much more to this one tbh lol, I just think they're neat dot png.Prompts & Ideas
— Size Difference: WHEWEE that fucking size difference!!! Heidegger is so fucking large, I wanna see him taking advantage of that!!!— BDSM: It's interesting (and hot...) to think of them in some sort of BDSM Thing. Power exchange, shibari and bondage, poorly negotiated kink stuff, VERY HOT. I like their clothes for this, and Heidegger's big hands, Reeve's tie etc.
— Cockwarming: VERY FUCKING HOT!!! Especially fun to think about Reeve being under Heidegger's desk for so long, lulled almost to sleep by it, Heidegger's hand coming down every so often to pet his hair...
Reno/Rude
Okay so like, I basically ship every single one of the Turks in all combinations, but Reno and Rude are one of my absolute faves! They're really dumbass4dumbass sometimes, and their loyalty to each other really fucks me up!!!Prompts & Ideas
— Missionfic: I loooove missionfic and it works especially well for the Turks! I'd love to see anything with Reno and Rude on a job together, being insanely competent but also kinda doofuses (especially Reno lol). Lots of focus on their respective competence would be very hot, especially if they're both admiring the others for it.— Clothes Kink: Turks Suits Hot. Leather Gloves Hot. The differences in how they both wear their uniforms is like catnip for me!!! I'd also love something with clothes sharing - Reno wearing Rude's clothes or whatever. Fucking with the gloves or even most of their clothes left on.
— Hurt/Comfort: Really lean into the loyalty shit here! I don't mind who gets whumped, but I want them hurt bad and the other picking up the pieces!!
— Desk/Office Sex: It's just hot!!!
— Stupid Shenanigans: Or situational comedy - I love how they're both kinda idiots lmao, very good for a dash of humour.
— Training/Sparring: Self-explanatory, but I love this stuff.
Summer of Horror Prompts
For this I basically would love some sort of Turks-related missionfic!Ships I enjoy: Tseng/Rufus, Reno/Rude, and also Rufus/Cloud if you want to get it in there somewhere! Generally I love all the Turks so much, so go wild - characters involved don't have to be just the ships mentioned, I love anything with them all working together as a team. For both prompts, I'd also love it if Rufus was involved out in the fieldwork!
Folk Horror
— I'm really fascinated with Nibelheim and its history and Shinra mansion as well! And I think it'd be super fun to see the no-nonsense, all-business Turks in a backwater town situation where something is really fucked up and wrong and they end up getting stuck there until they figure it out.
Genre vibes I love: Old ghosts and hauntings. Setting as horror, like fucked up cities or buildings that've been seemingly abandoned for decades.
Art ideas: Out of place Turks in their suits. Dark, ominous locations with things hidden in the shadows.
Supernatural Horror
— Again, I'd love to see some Turks casefic/missionfic where they have to sort out some type of haunting or fucked up thing that they start off not believing in but then it becomes very real. Ghosts or monsters or otherwise fucked up fiends that they have to fight. Bonus points for getting Tseng, Rude or Rufus extra dishevelled!
Genre vibes I love: Mystery and investigation. Specific weapons needed for specific creatures/entities.
Art ideas: Dishevelled Turks menaced by supernatural beings. Red string boards trying to figure out the mystery.
Rufus Shinra/Cloud Strife
Not a ship that I ever thought I'd get into, but my god, this one took me by surprise! I blame Remake!! Why was that fight so homoerotic?! THANK YOU FOR THAT, SE!!!! I really love the idea of them being into each other against all odds - Cloud confused and annoyed by the attraction, Rufus intrigued and maybe also a bit annoyed because Cloud was so deeply involved in fucking up all of Shinra's plans.I'm really into the idea of something post-game for these two, whether in Compilation canon or Remake canon, but if Compilation I'd love it to include some Advent Children canon stuff!!
Prompts & Ideas
— Working Together: Whether Cloud doing jobs for Rufus or them having to work side by side on a mission for whatever reason, I'd love to see them go from being grudging, half-polite half-antagonistic to working together really well as a team. Also inclusive of missions going wrong kinda vibes, Cloud having to save Rufus' arse, or even Rufus saving Cloud's arse for some reason!— Hurt/Comfort: I'd realllly love some Rufus Whump with Cloud rescuing him and then having to nurse him back to health!! Whether it's Rufus getting raped or horribly injured, permanently disabled, I'd just loove to see Cloud begrudgingly comforting him and then coming to some sort of quiet, unexpected realisation of feelings. Whump that pretty boy!!!! Or hell, even post-Geostigma would be fun!!
— BDSM: I know that Cloud is like, god's perfect woobie perfect for domming, but I'm a bit equal opportunities for these two! I'd love either Rufus dominating Cloud or Cloud dominating Rufus in some way! Especially good if it includes leather gloves or weaponplay. I'm not hugely fond of daddy kink in this though, so would prefer no Rufus being Cloud's daddy or whatever.
— Competence: Cloud is obviously incredibly competent and I like to think Rufus enjoys that shit. And likewise, I feel like Cloud would've been pleasantly surprised/taken aback at how good Rufus was in their fights - maybe he has guilty wanks about it afterwards.
— Weapon Kink: As above! Rufus has a very sexy gun, Cloud has very sexy big swords. Some sort of weaponry kink for either would be fucking amazing.
—FINAL FANTASY X—
Anima, Seymour's Mother, Seymour
I absolutely adore this big creepy bastard! I love his soft voice, I love his fuzzy tummy, I love his ridiculous hair and the almost dreamy, floaty way he walks and moves. I love anything and everything Guado related in general, so I’d be happy with anything at all for Seymour! Same for Anima, I love her.added Seymour's Mother as well as Anima because I love either or both as a ship with him! Their relationship is so complex and fucked up, I love any and all exploration of it, and honestly I can't get enough! Her devotion to him that persists even through the final transformation, the estrangement between Jyscal and Seymour, was it in part helped along by the loss of his mother? Does their relationship continue even after her transformation into Anima? This relationship is an exception to my no underage rule - I like it fucked up.
Prompts & Ideas
— Childhood: Seymour had a really shitty childhood, from bullying to ostracisation. It would be interesting to see how he coped with that, or how it continues to affect him as an adult.— Aeons: He has a really unique relationship with Anima, some exploration of that would be fascinating! I find the whole Anima story really tragic and beautiful, but also kinda sexy at the same time. This is a good slant to explore a Seymour's relationship with his mother (incestuous or otherwise, I enjoy either!) if you wanted to - her devotion to him must have been so strong to make such a sacrifice!
— Sex Pollen: Guadosalam being near Macalania has many opportunities for plant-related sexy pollen shenanigans. Maybe he gets imperilled by pollen when he's alone and gets fucked by vines or otherwise, or has to wank himself completely dry!
— Misc: A moment alone between temple visits - what sort of little personal rituals would he have? How does he dress himself with those intricate summoner robes? How does he do his hair? Literally anything character studyey, I’d read about him forever!
Auron/Jecht/Braska
Ahh, one of my oldest ships! I love their whole dynamic, how they support each other on Braska's pilgrimage, and how their personalities all offset each other perfectly. I'm just a sucker for that kind of pre-canon journeying together kinda thing, you know?I don't really have any pre-established headcanons for their dynamic and it's been over a decade since I read anything for them, so I'd be happy to read anything!
Prompts & Ideas
— Journeying: Braska's pilgrimage is basically just one big missing scene. I'd love to see anything on that journey; small moments around the campfire, struggling to take down a strong fiend, watching a beautiful sunset or sharing a drink and a meal.— Sparring: I'm a sucker for sparring scenes in general, and I think it would be really fun to see Jecht and Auron sparring together! It'd also be interesting to see Braska's fighting style too, so feel free to go wild with your headcanons cos I've none of my own for him really!
— Sharing space: Sharing a tent together, sharing blankets at night, huddling for warmth, hiding from something, all pressed up against each other - especially fun to think about how Auron and Braska adjust to Jecht's presence after they free him from jail!
— Rivalry to Lovers: It's evident that Auron and Jecht don't get on at first, and I'd love to see how their relationship grows as all three of them grow closer and more intimate. Both of them vying for Braska's attentions, or Jecht making their sexual encounters competitive because he's Jecht. How would Braska react to this? I feel like he'd be gently amused and tolerant, maybe even enjoying watching them.
—BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL)—
Leon S. Kennedy/Jack Krauser
TBAPrompts & Ideas
— Fix It: Krauser surviving post-re4r and having to deal with being permanently disabled, whether with Leon or as a character study genfic— Weapons & weaponry porn: Gun and knifeplay, ESPECIALLY knifeplay!!!!
— Training: Bootcamp training; implacable Major Krauser with bright eyed young Leon. Krauser teaching Leon how to use a bow. Any sort of sparring, weaponry training
— Character Study: Krauser struggling to adapt to life as a civvie outside his work
RE9 Ending Spoilers:
Leon using Elpis to cure a still-alive Krauser post-re9, timeline handwave accepted! Would it work on las plagas?— Misc.: Top!! Leon!!!! I love top!Leon so much!!
Summer of Horror Prompts
Monster Horror— Krauser hunting down Leon to be his mate after his transformation, perchance? :3c
Genre vibes I love: Unfriendly spaces, physical differences, monsterfucking
Art ideas: Dark forests, lots of green. Bright blood and light splashes glinting off Krauser's transformed arm.
Body Horror
— This one is entirely focused on Krauser's transformation via Las Plagas! I'd love to see some exploration of that, how he feels, does it hurt? What's it like to fight for control of his own mind and body against the Plaga? It'd be fun to see the first time he accepts the Plaga, its initial takeover of his body. Maybe he survives after Leon kills him, the Plaga taking the death instead somehow? He'd be permanently altered after that, maybe losing his arm?
Genre vibes I love: transformation, loss of control over their own bodies and actions, permanent injuries/disabilities.
Art ideas: Las Plagas shredding apart his body during transformation. Knives and blood and visceral transformations.
Survival Horror
— Missionfic! I'd love Leon and Krauser surviving some horrible situation together, especially if one of them gets really badly injured! Whether it's a swarm of zombies, Las Plaga cultists, anything from any other RE game or something new, I'm easy. Just make them suffer (but get out alive pls), and maybe with some permanent injuries too.
Genre vibes I love: Desperate situations, low ammo, fighting back to back against overwhelming odds but somehow winning anyway.
Art ideas: Tiny figures against a large swarm or terrifying giant hunter. Closeup of them fighting back to back, knives flashing, injuries and blood.
Ship Specific DNWs
— No found family or Leon acting as a dad to other characters like Grace or Sherry.— No "dear heart" or "boy scout" endearments aimed at Chris or Leon
— No trans Leon (I prefer trans Krauser if we're doing trans hcs)
Chris Redfield/Albert Wesker
TBAPrompts & Ideas
— Weapons: GUNPLAY!!!!!— Transformation: Uroboros tentacles!!
— Fix It: Post re8 with old Chris and old Wesker who somehow survived, I need it so badddd
— Clothes: Uniform/clothes kink, extra good with gloves
— Disability: For an old, survived Wesker, some sort of permanent effects of survival - this would be amazing as a single character study for me! Using a cane?
— Cane Stuff: A cane-using Wesker utilising this with old Chris for Sex Reasons
— Cigarettes: Sharing a smoke together
— Misc: I love domming from the bottom Wesker and top Chris in general
Summer of Horror Prompts
Body Horror— Wesker infected with Uroboros and his transformation by it is sooo hot to me, I need to see him suffer with it! How does he react privately to his first changes in earlier eras? When he comes back to life after the Tyrant kills him? I imagine it being somewhat horrifying, feeling his bones reknit and his body mend itself. Then dealing with all the physical changes after!
Genre vibes I love: Loss of control over their own bodies and actions, feeling the viruses take over year by year.
Art ideas: Tentacles!!! Visceral coming back to life, blood and broken bones reknitting.
Monster Horror
— Chris' disgust at what Wesker becomes, but inside he's attracted to it. Wesker fucking him in the volcano with his tentacles, or hunting him down elsewhere to impregnate him with Uroboros eggs/whatever.
Genre vibes I love: Really Big Things, physical differences, chases and hunting. Monsterfucking.
Art ideas: Chris pregnant with lots of eggs. Tentacles everywhere.
Survival Horror
— I wanna see them fighting some threat together! Missionfic in re8 era with a still-alive (but physically disabled) Wesker? Fighting back to back, saving each others' arses. Dire injuries but somehow pulling through. Post-survival adrenaline-fuelled gunkink opportunity?
Genre vibes I love: Overwhelming odds, ammo running low, forced into a corner but somehow surviving.
Art ideas: Fighting back to back, Wesker saving Chris' arse just in time.
Ship Specific DNWs
— No "dear heart" or "boy scout" endearments aimed at Chris or LeonLeon S. Kennedy/Victor Gideon
I'd love to receive something with Leon and Victor as a pair, but this one does not have to be particularly happy. I just like them fucked up tbh (well, Victor fucking Leon up specifically lol). More details TBA.Noncon/dubcon DNWs are waived for this ship!
Prompts & Ideas
— Expansion of Game Scenes: Continuation from Leon being captured and tied up? Forced blowjob/deepthroat while he's stuck there— Pollen: Sex pollen via medical shit, fuck or die
— Elpis: Victor getting cured by Elpis somehow?
— Misc.:Something nasty please!! Victor being a big fucking creep
Summer of Horror Prompts
Medical Horror— We already get some excellent shit from Victor in re9, so really just more of that! Victor menacing Leon in some sort of medical fashion - a scalpel cutting him (VERY GOOD especially if Leon can't help but compare it to Krauser's knife cutting him), testing or using unknown drugs on him, especially good if they're like sex pollen-esque drugs which take control of Leon making him endlessly horny for Victor. Just menace that pretty middle-aged man pls! I need that man helpless spread out on a medical bed for Victor to play with. Also either POV is fine by me!
I DNW needles, but I don't mind if he injects Leon with something, just please don't focus on or super describe that part, or just use one of the haemolytic injector type devices instead please.
Genre vibes I love: Loss of control over their own bodies and actions, sex pollen vibes. Unknown procedures, gloves and medical scents.
Art ideas: BIG Victor looming over Leon. Cuts and blood, scalpel and gloves.
Monster Horror
— Just incredible monster vibes from Victor tbh! He's so fucking huge I cannot deal. I need him to hunt Leon down and fuck him. Preferably fuck his creepy gross Nemesis-strain eggs into him please.
Genre vibes I love: Really Big Things, physical differences, chases and hunting. Monsterfucking.
Art ideas: Leon pregnant with lots of eggs. Giant Victor, small Leon.
—DEVIL MAY CRY—
Nero/Credo
or: oh my rarepair, my love, let me count the ways in which i adore youSO DMC4 is old now. Nero/Credo has been one of my fave ships for about 8 years at this point I think! We got age gap, we got dubious incest, we got commander/subordinate power dynamics, we got tranformation kink! In DMC5 we got, frankly, a perfect fucking song paired with a short scene where Nero was vowing that he wouldn't ever lose anyone again like he lost Credo as he finally comes into his full Devil Trigger. UGH. MY FEELS.
Anyway. Credo took Nero in as a baby orphan, and he was the commander of the Order of the Sword. He was blinded by the Order's lies, and even though they fight, in the end he comes to his senses and then dies trying to save Nero. There's so much potential there!
Prompts & Ideas
— Age gap: we don't know exactly how old Credo is, but he's old enough to have been the caretaker for Nero and Kyrie when they were little. He got that Big Brother thing down goooood. You can play this on the incest route or just plain age gap, it's all good. I like it when Nero is just bordering on legal and Credo knows it's wrong but goddamn, he can't help himself.— Commander/subordinate: Credo is, in a nutshell, an uptight, protocol-following stick in the mud. Nero is a feisty little shit of a rebel, who goes out of his way to be rude and abrasive a lot of the time. Credo is his commander, even though it's not really specified that he's part of the Order proper - playing on that is hot. Nero needing punishment for acting out; Nero purposefully provoking Credo cos he enjoys it when he gets that expression and uses all his full power over him. Good Shite!
— Sekret Order Ritual Bullshit: the Order of the Sword has rituals for EVERYTHING or I'm not an old man fucker. Weird kinky sex rituals, maybe there's eggs involved? Maybe there's ritual cutting or scarification, or demon blood drinking! Go mad. Especially with the eggs. :3c
— Devil Trigger on Angelo Credo sex: Devil Triggered Nero fucking/getting fucked by Angelo form Credo! HOT AS SHIT. Especially good if you talk about how soft and floofy Credo is (listen, he looks COMFORTABLE OKAY) and how well Nero can use his super cool demonic arm things. Very hot, lots of claws.
— Fix-it: ohh we love a good fix-it! Credo didn't really die! He just went to the Underworld! Or something. Handwave if you wish, just give me some of that good post-game He Didn't Really Die shit. Or maybe he DID die and Nero revives him using some Sekret Order Ritual Bullshit! Who knows! And then they have angry Fuck-I-Missed-You sex.
— Sparring: ah sparring, how I do love thee. The inherent homoeroticism of having a gunblade pressed to ur throat while ur both sporting really obvious hardons.
Bonus moe points
— Credo's stupid fucking goatee, Credo's STONKING GREAT BIG NOSE, transmasc Nero or fucky demon genitals!DMC-Specific DNWs
— No vilification or fridging of Kyrie! I love Kyrie, she's important to Nero and this shit drives me insane. I don't mind if you want to pair her off with Nico or something (as long as that's not the focus of the fic), or just not even mention her at all, just no negativity or any of that nonsense pls.— No Dante/Nero, not even a mention of past Dante/Nero. Absolute NOTP, Do Not Want.
— Not too much Incest Angst please! I don't mind some, but would rather it not be the full focus
HCEX Freeforms - Credo/Nero (hurt Credo)
— Alternate Universe - Character Lives but is still badly hurt— MY FAVOURITE OF ALL FAVOURITES!!!!! I just LOVE fix-it fic for these two, and especially if Nero fetches Credo back from the underworld and Credo is super fucked up by being there and being killed.
— I love permanent injury persisting after they come back to life/don't actually die, and as per my adoration of Disability Stuff, I love it when it has Ramifications. The rammies bro..... the rammies...
— Becoming less human / becoming something Else;— This is my "Credo's transformation into Angelo Credo is horrifically painful" section!!! I love love LOVE it if he's super traumatised and horrified by the realisation that yeah, he's not an angel!!!
— Supernatural transformation (vampirism;werewolf;etc) causes pain and character is comforted
— The first time he transformed after the ritual, was it horribly painful? I WANT TO KNOW!!!! Does it continue to be painful every time he triggers, unlike for Nero? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!
— I'd love for this one if Nero is surprisingly empathetic about this! Ofc it might need some timeline finagling to make it work after he's gone full trigger for the first time, or it could be how he felt when his arm turned demonic? Idk, I'd just love them bonding over it, and Credo being touched and surprised by his adopted younger brother (who he loves...) being like this!
— Wingfic - Character is tortured by hurting their wings;— Angelo Credo wings...... YEAHHH BOIIII I love that big fluffy demon so damn much!!! I wanna see Nero loving on his wings; I wanna see his wings being hurt to desperate lengths and Nero having to care for them; I wanna see Credo going full protective mode even through horrific pain he's never experience before!!!
— Wingfic - Character uses their already-injured wings to shield others from harm;
— Wingfic - Character using their injured wings to shelter/comfort other characters;
— Wingfic - Wing Growing Pains; Caring for character's injured wings
— Any and all wingfic tropes are very fun with this one, and I'd LOVE for there to be a lot of focus on Credo's fluffy, beautiful Angelo form!
HCEX Freeforms - Credo/Nero (both hurt)
— Accidental Injury - comforter worshipping injuries they caused— I love the idea of them sparring to break Credo into his new abilities and then either of them injuring the other by mistake, then well. The worship! Very fun if Credo doesn't realise his own new strength yet!!
— Aftermath of sex pollen;— SEX POLLEN!!!!! Elmofire dot gif!!! The pining is the real excellent sauce here oh my god.
— Sex Pollen - both suffer when trying to resist; both unaware the other has been pining
— I love it if the suffering when trying to resist is really painful, but they're both INCREDIBLY STUBBORN!!! Because of The Pining. Good Shite.
— Character A mourned B but then B comes back to life/wasn't actually dead— Credo died man... he DIED. Or did he >:3c Wanna see Nero's reaction to this after all the shit in dmc4 is over and he's got time to fucking breathe and realise that he's lost Credo. OUCH. And then his anger when Credo comes back!! YUM. This would be fun to combine with the hurt Credo where he's back but very badly injured.
— Comforting character is in denial about attraction to other character— YES GOOD!!! I love them both being in fucking denial about being hot for the other, maybe with a little Incest Angst Spice!
— Bargaining - Victim Offers/Sacrifices Self to Protect Others;— Either of them work for this group!! Credo is sooo protective of his family I'd love to see him for any of these options! And Nero, well they're the only family he's got left! Of course he'd sacrifice anything to save them, and especially if Credo came back from his "death" I feel like he'd push himself even more to not lose him again
— Character overuses powers/magic/etc to protect a loved one;
— Character Forced to Watch While Loved One is Tortured/Raped;
— Characters A and B are kept in adjacent cells; character A hears character B being punished
— Either of them being forced to watch while the other is tortured or raped, or is punished next door, hrrghhhh. Especially fun if they devil trigger out of the helplessness, mmm tasty
— Careful Sex Because One Partner Is Injured/Ill;— Basically what it says on the tin!
— Bedsharing while one of the characters is injured
— Character A has gone feral and character B tries to bring them back to themselves— Fun for either of them!! I love to think about Credo going feral during one of his transformations and Nero having to talk him down or punch him down or any other way; or about Nero going feral for whatever reason and Credo can only bring him back with gentleness
— Character A reveals feelings for Character B while out of it from illness or injury;— Both of these as listed!!
— Character A shares body heat with Character b to keep them alive and warm
— Character is prickly and bad-tempered while recovering from hurt; comforter is chill about it;— Both of them feel like prideful little shits so I'm not sure how well they'd deal with injury and recovery!
— Character A tries to help Character B without offending their pride and dignity
— Dubcon required for magical ritual— FUCKED UP ORDER OF THE SWORD RITUALLSSS, YEAHHH BOIIII!!!! I love oviposition with this >:3c or some sort of ritual sex pollen maybe?
HCEX Freeforms - Credo/Nero (hurt Nero)
— Caring for Prosthetics— I WANNA SEE CREDO LOOKING AFTER 5!NERO'S PROSTHETIC!!! He'd probably not know what the fuck to do, but I can imagine him trying to learn from Nico and studying up a lot so he can help.
— Character A antagonises monster and gets hurt Character B can only watch and not stop it;— Nero's a little shit who antagonises everyone, so this one is perfect for him!! I'd love him to get seriously fucked up while Credo watches, and feels horrendous and guilty and in pain about it. Afterwards there can be patching up~
— After injuries are patched up character A falls asleep on character B;
— Character A comes to B's rescue then passes out due to sustained injuries/exhaustion once B is safe
— Fun if Credo gets injured saving Nero in the end!
— Character harmed in public to set an example— Possibly linked to the last one! I can totally imagine the Order of the Sword having some sort of rule like this, and Credo has to keep up appearances and just watch!! Ough
— Descent to Underworld/Afterlife to rescue dead friend or loved one— The obvious Rescue Credo Freeform!!
— Burning a brand on the character's skin— IMAGINE IF THIS WAS PART OF AN ORDER INDUCTION RITUAL AND CREDO HAS TO DO THE BRANDING!!!!!
— Monster helping other more recently transformed monster manage new reality— Same as the ones with hurt Credo - I loooove this whole idea of them bonding over this too, ough
Stork Flash Exchange Freeforms - Pregnant Nero/Credo
— Becoming Horny & Wanting To Make Another Baby When Watching Partner With Newborn— Nero being surprisingly good with their new baby and it makes Credo absolutely fucking desperate to breed him again..... just what it says on the tin!
— Blood Magic to Get Pregnant;— Putting all these together because in my head they all come under the Fucky Order of the Sword Sex Ritual Bullshit >:3c The ritual could be involving blood magic in some way, or it could be linked with fertility because of Sparda's sons! Either way, it's fuckin ritual impregnation babay
— Breeding - Mating Plugs for Keeping Come Inside;
— Fertility rituals or magic;
— Oviposition - Filled with eggs by huge monster;
— Ritual impregnation
— Plugs to keep the come inside is just HOT AS FUCK TO ME!!! Maybe it makes it more likely to quicken, maybe the plug is made of some fuck-ass demon bullshit, whatever u feel like
— Filled with eggs by huge monster I'm filing under Credo was turned into Angelo Credo earlier than the game and he has to be in his Angelo form for the ritual. Instead of baby it's lots of eggs!! Just an absolute fucking shit-ton of eggs yea baby. Lots of emphasis on how large Angelo Credo is compared to Nero >:3
— Bird-like character compulsively builds nest for brooding— See above Credo Angelo! He's very birdlike, what if his ascension gave him birdlike traits and instincts to go with it, so he spends a large amount of Nero's pregnancy building the fucking best nest possible
— Heavily pregnant character is attacked in some way; non-pregnant partner gets REVENGE— Nero can absolutely look after himself but maybe being super far along makes him weaker, or he gets caught off guard. I'd love to see Credo going absolutely apeshit getting revenge on the perpetrator, which is completely unlike him but all the hotter (to Nero and also to me) for it
— Worried about baby inheriting family traits— This one is for a Credo who knows about Nero's devil side, and also who's ascended too - I could see him being absolutely petrified that their child will inherit demonic traits and therefore be unholy.
Dante/Vergil
Another very very old OTP of mine! Ough, twincest.... I love their push-pull violent relationship, how much Vergil is obsessed with power and how much they're both just obsessed with each other. We keep getting constantly fed with spardacest by all DMC entries and I am living for it!! I love it when they stab each other, all the bickering and ofc how identical they are (the bit in dmc3 where they fight on top of temen-ni-gru and the rain makes Dante's hair fall down and they look just exactly the same..... goddamn).I love any time period setting for these two! Post-dmc5 is excellent for their stuck in hell together fighting endless legions of demons kinda vibe. Post-dmc3 pre-dmc4 where Vergil is pregnant with Nero? YES PLEASE. AND IT'S DANTE'S!!!! I am a Vergil Pregnant Truther. That man carried his fucking son and I will die on this hill!!!
For the Stork Flash freeforms, I'm happy for a handwave in timeline where they're together while Vergil is pregnant with Nero, or even something set post-dmc5 where he's pregnant again, but still with the proviso that he gave birth to Nero!
Stork Flash Exchange Freeforms - Pregnant Vergil/Dante
— Didn't expect to enjoy being pregnant this much;— This is my 'soft twins being soft' group of tags!
— A thinks B won't want the baby;
— Unborn Baby Responds to Parent's Voice
— I'm really enamoured by the idea of Vergil hating the idea at first and being almost determined to dislike it (especially after his stint as Nelo Angelo under Mundus' cruelty) but then is taken aback by how much he likes the feeling, likes that it's related to his brother, that it's his fault. That Dante loves the changes in his body!
— Considering how aggro their relationship can be, it's not hard to imagine Vergil thinking Dante won't want the baby, won't want the hassle. He's the carefree kind, so I can see Vergil being hesitant to tell him because he worries that Dante won't be interested in the responsibility.
— The last prompt could link in with either of the others - I'd just love to see the baby responding to Dante's voice wehhh
— Just starting to show Pregnant;— These could link in with the above group for sure - Vergil hiding the pregnancy, or Dante noticing just as he's starting to show
— Secret pregnancy
— Incestuous Breeding Kink;— These are pretty self-explanatory dlgkhdfg I love it when the incest is very kinked upon, it's sooo hot!! And even moreso if Vergil's sex drive goes fucking insane while he's pregnant and Dante doesn't have a chance, he's just pinned down, maybe with his own sword, while Vergil rides him. Hrgh.
— Heightened Sex Drive During Pregnancy
— Worst possible time to go into labor;— This is the badass Vergil actiony kinda freeforms group!
— Badass Character Remains Badass While Pregnant;
— Pregnant at the worst possible time (but keeping the baby);
— Pregnant In Times of War/Conflict/Danger;
— Pregnant character continues canon-typical perilous activities;
— Pregnant character can take care of themselves...until they can't
— Vergil pregnant while in the Underworld, perchance? :3c Probably some weird timeline fuckery for this one, but handwaves are fine - or even post-dmc5 and he's pregnant again not with Nero? Hot...
— I'd just love to see him still dispatching demons and/or fighting Dante while pregnant!! Ofc it's not good to be in hell at the same time, maybe it's bad for the baby and either way it's dangerous for Vergil with all the fighting and the demons.
— Maybe he gets injured, over-confident but his heavily pregnant body betrays him and Dante has to come to his rescue?
—BALDUR'S GATE 3—
Omeluum/Blurg
Absolutely not a ship I expected to come out of bg3 shipping, but in hindsight, knowing me, I should not be surprised! I absolutely LOVE these two old mushroom husbands (gender neutral)! I love to think about them pre-relationship, I love to think about their first meeting, I love to think about them being in an established relationship for many years, I love to think about them doing research together huddled over a bench, I love to think of them caring for each other, I just.... Love to think of them!! AHHH!!!I don't have any top/bottom preferences, I like either of them topping!
Prompts & Ideas
— Age: I hc that Blurg is on the older side for a hobgoblin, as a treat! He has grey hair, this might as well be canon (/delusional). EITHER WAY I love to see age-related things with him and Omeluum— Size Difference: Omeluum is a lot taller than Blurg, but Blurg is a lot wider than it is!!! The size of his hands makes me insane, the size of his arms makes me even more insane!!! The size of his thighs- okay you get the idea. Omeluum is also very slim and bony, as illithids tend to be! Imagining Blurg manhandling it around, or it seeing him lift a heavy thing or flex his arms and getting unexpectedly horny, hrrrr
— Mind Linking: I love it when they talk to each other inside their heads, and when they share their experiences like a sex and pleasure feedback loop, and especially if that is super overwhelming and overstimulating for Blurg (in a good way).
— Genitals: Yeah yeah this gets a whole item, shut up. I like to hc that hobgoblins have REALLY BIG COCKS and I especially like to hc that Blurg's is pierced. And what if they have knots :3c Additionally, I hc that Omeluum has an ovipositor! Whether this is an all-illithids kinda thing or a just-Omeluum kinda thing is up to you.
— Hurt/Comfort: I really REALLY love to think about Omeluum's return from the Iron Throne, how it was almost certainly tortured there (it was strapped to one of those awful medical chairs! Augh!!) and how Blurg would react upon its safe return. Has the capture left permanent mental and physical scars? We know that it now has "an irrational fear of deep water" from one of its idle lines in the Lodge, so it's not too much of a stretch. How would Blurg help it afterwards? Would he carefully treat its wounds? Would he sleep in Omeluum's bed with it, to help it through nightmares? So many possibilities!
— Science: I love that they're both scientists!!! I love that they're so smart and clearly like working together for researching. I'd love to see them working together on Omeluum's project to make an ethical food source, or on something that Blurg is working on!
Ship-Specific Preferences and DNWs
— No pronouns other than it/its for Omeluum, and I prefer it to have either squssy (squid pussy!!!) or an ovipositor please— I also don't like them as asexual, queerplatonic or any other headcanons like that.
