Yuletide 2019 Letter

[exchangebench]

Dear author,

Thank you for writing for me! I...cannot believe it's already Yuletide again. I hope you get the gift of your dreams in return!

As usual, all my prompts and rambling below are just suggestions. If you have an idea for any of these characters, please do feel free to go for it. Outside of my DNWs, I'm open to anything from lighthearted fluff to plotty casefic and worldbuilding to hardcore darkfic and smut. You can also take any of my general likes as prompts in themselves.

My AO3 username is Piinutbutter.

Alicia's Diet Quest

- Alicia -
- Sara -

(Fandom specific DNW: Any srs business soapboxing about "diet culture," HAES, etc. I'm just here for the cute comedy.)

This whole manga is precious and adorable (and relatable). I do ship Alicia/Sara, but I'd be just as happy with them staying allies in both combat and dieting. :D

Honestly, I'm down for any sort of canon-typical adventures and hijinks! What further weight-related misfortune do the girls run into on their mission to spread the good word of calorie counting? Any missing scenes from in between chapters?

How about some fluffy h/c between Alicia and Sara, when one of the two is feeling extra down about not being able to lose/gain weight? Or good old-fashioned protectiveness when a stranger tries to put one of them down about their chubbiness/skinniness.

Kusatta Rasen

- Ataru Koganei -
- Shuu Kanai | Hideaki Koganei -

(Fandom specific DNW: On-screen extreme underage. You don't have to pretend it didn't happen, but I'd prefer any explicit things be set when Ataru is at least high school age.)

Hoo boy. This manga. Ogawa Chise knows how to write fucked-up relationships that leave an impression. I'm super interested in delving more into this pair's twisted and codependent relationship.

There had to be a point, growing up, when Ataru realized his relationship with his father wasn't normal. What brought the realization on, and how did it change (or not change) his view of his father? When did it start to become Ataru's job to look after his father more than the other way around?

Okay, but how about that ending? It would be fascinating to explore the fact that Ataru's father seems to be more scared of Ataru than Ataru is of him. Why? Is it just because Ataru reminds him of his past trauma? Because he knows that Ataru could whisper to the press and his career/life would be over? Or does he see something of his own monstrousness in his son?

Speaking of the press...these two fucked in a classroom in an open school, and in their extra chapter in the Rakuda Tsukai To Ouji No Yoru collection, they have no compunctions about getting it on in a car in broad daylight. Even if Ataru does his best to keep things a secret, something is going to get out eventually. How would they deal with that? Given his father's explosive reaction to even the slightest perceived problems, it'd probably fall to Ataru to try and weasel him out of a scandal.

Red Riding Hood and the Big Sad Wolf

- Red Riding Hood -
- Wolf -

I adore this pair's fucked-up and humorous relationship so much. I don't have specific prompts for them, because anything that extrapolates on their misadventures in canon would make me happy! Red's further attempts to woo (AKA intimidate) her cute wolfboy! Red succeeding in her kidnapping plans! Femdom and sadism! Just have fun, really. :D

A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School

- [Any character(s) in the series!] -

I didn't nominate individual characters for this fandom, simply because I love the entire cast so much and I couldn't pick favorites. So, truly, give me a story about any character, ship, or aspect of this adorable youkai world and I'll love it!

If you'd like prompts/suggestions, here are just some of the things I ship:

* Haruaki Abe/Mikoto Sano
* Haruaki Abe/Ameaki Abe
* Saguru Ogoso/Touya Fuji
* Akira Takahashi/Makoto Yamazaki
* Akira Takahashi/Ameaki Abe
* Koutarou Hijita/Beniko Zashiki
* Rensuke Nyuudou/Kuniko Utagawa
* Rintarou Miki/Mamekichi's dad

And some gen ideas:

* The domestic inn-running adventures of Zashiki and her three dads.
* The complicated idol life of the Chimi Moryou'z boys.
* The past and future misadventures of the Karasu Tengu Troupe.
* A look at the lessons Miki is giving Fuji on drag.
* Miki's unfortunate adventures in entertaining Mamekichi's father (and potentially other smitten patrons?)
* Further fun/spooky times with the Ghoul Squad!
