Battleship 2021 Letter

[ouo]

Hello, Battleship!

I just threw some freeform tags around, don't worry about sticking to them too much. I'm sure I'll love anything that doesn't hit my DNWs!

general likes:

character studies, relationship studies

established relationships, either going through trials together or just being in love!

getting together as a couple, especially under dramatic or tragic circumstances

mutual pining and/or waiting to get together but choosing not to make a move

hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort

recovery from past trauma, recovery from current trauma, current trauma triggering past trauma

tragic endings, bittersweet endings, ambiguous endings, happy endings

gifts/caretaking as a form of love

cuddling, hugging, holding hands--touching to show love, to comfort, to nurture

showing love in unconventional ways

touch as a show of love and comfort

relaxing after a hard day or a battle

almost losing a loved one in battle/thank-god-we're alive moments

a third party playing matchmaker


general smut likes:

Exploring bodies, worshiping bodies--eyes, hands, mouths, I love it all! I know this is a broad category but seriously anything is great. Some examples: body worship, fingers in mouths/finger sucking, slowly tracing a hand down a partner's body, touching different places with a hand or a mouth to see a partner's reaction.

Anal play in all gender combinations, but especially when the recipient is male. Fingering, rimming, pegging. All amazing!

Long, slow lovemaking sessions with lots of making out, foreplay, fingering, etc.

One person being less experienced but very enthusiastic and the other absolutely loving that. (Anything from not having tried a particular act all the way down to not really knowing anything about sex At All but being very excited to learn.)

Athletic sex, from characters having a ton of strength and endurance to characters being super flexible.

Awkward but loving first times (in general or the first time doing a specific act).

Coming untouched.

Coming before the "main event", whether that leads the being "done" early, taking a break before getting back to it, or not stopping for a second and the character that came being overstimulated.

Come play, come swallowing, facials, snowballing, etc.

Nipple/breast play

Mutual masturbation, or one character watching the other one get off.

Talking in bed!! Banter, dirty talk, praise, etc. (I read hentai manga so I have a pretty high tolerance for goofy dirty talk, as long as it seems in character.)

Post-battle sex: thank-god-you're-alive, having extra energy after a fight and wanting to get it out of your system, getting turned on by a partner's skills, careful sex while someone is injured.

Consensual use of magic/powers during sex, including as an aphrodisiac.

Non-penetrative sex, especially intercrural and frottage

Size kink (focus on canon size differences; realistically big dicks; large sex toys)

Touch-starved characters finally getting what they need

Emotions running high: laughter, crying, etc.

Religion kink for characters that are religious figures or otherwise associated with religion, both in character (they get off on doing something "unholy" being done to a religious character or in a place of religion) and out of character (using religious language/metaphors in the narrative)


AUs I like:

canon divergence

mundane/real world AUs that take into account characters' canon backstories and find equivalents (e.g. Theseus from Hades was king when he was alive and has celebrity status in death; in a mundane modern AU he might be a celebrity, a politician, or a sports star)

in canons with magic/supernatural stuff, AUs that incorporate some or all aspects of the magic! no need for explanations if you don't want to, someone can just be a mage or a laguz or whatever.

reincarnation (I'm a SUCKER for this, go crazy with the details, but particularly of the "I don't know why I feel drawn to you but I do" sort and the "one person is immortal and the other one is reborn and falls in love with the immortal one again" sort)


Things that you might be hesitant to write that I'm fine with:

major character death

rape recovery/aftermath

dubcon (can the reader tell that both characters are into it? great!)

fics for requested ships that could be read as friendship fics

fics for requested threesomes that focus on the relationship between two of the characters


DNW:

pre-pubescent characters in romantic situations with adults or in any sexual situations

pregnancy/childbirth

kidfic/non-canon children/deaging

terminal or possibly terminal illness

medical malpractice (what I mean by this is a character providing medical care intentionally doing it badly)

discussion of asexuality/aromanticism for characters in requested ships (if you have those headcanons and it influences your characterization that's totally fine! I just don't prefer shipfics where a character being ace or aro is directly stated or is a major focus of the fic.)

nonconsentual body modification or transformation

A/B/O and BDSMverse

noncon (dubcon fine)

shaving kink, medical kink, race kink, daddy/mommy kink, mind break, puppy/kitty play

bestiality (furry/monster stuff is fine, just no real world animals)



Again, please don't feel obligated to stick to any of these! I requested ships that I love no matter what!

Hades

Asterius/Theseus/Zagreus
Oh boy do I love all flavors of this ship! Feel free to focus on any or all of these characters, and make it super romantic or just sexual.

Theseus! My boy! I love that he really dials the Theseus factor up to 11 whenever Zagreus is around, and I'm curious to see how you think he might feel about this threesome. Is it hate? Affection? A sexual competition? Is he going to make a fool of himself (yes)??

Theseus and Zag are both competitive, and Asterius is too in his own quieter way. Maybe some sort of sexual competition? Or a bet? Winner gets to fuck the loser? This could work nonsexually too! Maybe Theseus and Zagreus make a wager, winner gets to choose what to do with the loser, and only some of them take it as sexual.

Asterius and Theseus bicker over whether to acknowledge Zagreus' skill in the game - maybe Asterius finally wins and Theseus gets to the point where he wants to complement Zag over something?

Theseus and Asterius are celebrities, but Zagreus doesn't talk to many people that are actually their fans. Really just Hypnos. What happens when he meets their fan club? ...what happens when he meets their fan club, who might have suspicions about them fucking?

Achilles/Patroclus
Wow I can't believe they invented love!! I've read the Iliad so feel free to reference that alongside the game. I haven't read Song of Achilles though, so I prefer fics that don't include details specific to that.

I can't get enough of reunion fics or mutual pining before they're reunited. Both Hades Achilles/Patroclus staples!

How do things go when Achilles is more settled into his regular trips to Elysium? Maybe he gets a reputation or there's a lot of gossip about him, or maybe they manage to avoid all of that and build a quiet life.

Theseus! I firmly believe he makes every Hades fic better. What's particularly hilarious to me is how Achilles seems to have a decently high opinion of Theseus (per the codex) but Patroclus doesn't. I'd love to see them discuss Theseus or interact with him together, and I wonder if Achilles' opinion changes when he meets the man in person.


Compilation of FFVII
I've only beaten the PS1 game, so please keep that in mind if you're writing for me! I don't mind spoilers but would prefer you avoid details and plot points that I simply wouldn't understand without more context.

Tifa Lockhart/Cloud Strife/Barret Wallace



Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Eirika/L'Arachel
I've loved them since I was a tiny baby gay! I adore L'Arachel's brashness and how unabashedly herself she always is, and I love how Eirika plays the straight woman but clearly cares for her.

Post battle, thank-god-you're-alive romance or sex is always a winner! Especially if one character saves the other and there's a desperate kiss the very moment they're safe... or before they're safe.

L'Arachel is a healer, of course, but what if Eirika has to heal her?

After everything is over, what happens next, and how do they maintain a relationship? Maybe they got together during their quest and struggle to do long-distance, or maybe they move in together, or maybe they break up (and then pine and get back together??)

Their families and other loved ones, reacting to their relationship. Or even playing matchmaker!


Ephraim/Joshua
I'll admit I have no deep thoughts for them, I just saw this and thought "damn that sounds hot". Do with that as you will.

Ephraim finds out Joshua is a prince... how does that go?

as above: post canon, when they're both busy with their own countries! How do they connect (or re-connect) and how steamy is it?



Fire Emblem: Tellius

Nailah/Rafiel

Reyson/Tibarn



Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Ingrid/Mercedes, Dorothea/Ingrid, Dorothea/Edelgard, Annette/Mercedes
I'm just lumping all of these ships together because I don't really have individual prompts for these characters? I just love them all in all of their combinations. I'm a huge multishipper for 3H and truly I just want to read all about pretty girls!!

Post battle, thank-god-you're-alive romance or sex is always a winner! Especially if one character saves the other and there's a desperate kiss the very moment they're safe... or before they're safe.

We have some magic users here, and some non-magic users! Maybe someone heals someone else and it's very romantic. Maybe it's even someone less confident in their healing skills! I love to read a creative description of what it might feel like to heal someone or to be healed.

Most of these characters have various obligations or duties. How do they balance that with romance? I'm fine with any interpretation of how gay relationships might be viewed in the universe of FE3H so feel free to go with the "I can't marry a woman" route, or just the "I'm too busy to date" route. Do they make it work? Do they pine forever? Do they (gasp!) break up and pine forever?

haha what if we kissed in the library or the church and felt very naughty about it... and we were both girls??
