Press Start 2018 prompts

[vivaforever597]

Hiya! I have a running Dear Writer letter, but I'm excerpting the relevant parts for this exchange below.

General info:

• I’m a trans girl and a lesbian, so stories with queer and especially trans characters are especially appealing to me.
• I have links to my social media, including my fics on AO3, over here, if learning more about me would help you.
• I usually have anon asks enabled on my Tumblr, so that’s a method by which you can reach me anonymously. I don’t check my Tumblr that often though.
• These prompts are stories I’d like to see. That doesn’t mean they’re the only stories I’d like to see. If none of them catch your fancy, please feel free to write something else instead.
• I am happy with fic of any rating, unless otherwise specified for a given fandom.

DNW (more info in running letter):

• Second person (either first or third person is fine!)
• Noncon or dubcon
• Ships not listed below
  • Mentioning them in passing is okay, unless they are specifically listed in the fandom DNW section
• Unhappy or unresolved endings
  • It doesn’t have to tie up perfectly, but I should be able to come away with the feeling that the characters are okay
• Angst that does not contribute to a happy ending
• Queer characters crushing on straight characters (of the same sex)
• Het or dudeslash, unless otherwise specified
  • If you’re not comfortable writing femslash, first of all, I’m sorry you were matched to me, and secondly, gen would be fine, preferably focusing on female characters.
  • Any het, gen, or dudeslash prompt in here, or something similar, is something I’d be just as happy with as a femslash fic.
• Characters who love each other (whether romantically or platonically) having to spend time apart
• OCs, unless otherwise specified
• Cheating
• AUs, unless otherwise specified

Likes (more info in running letter):

• Roommates who fall in love
• Couples who are also platonic friends
• One partner helping another learn a new skill
  • And maybe distracting them along the way...
• Mutual pining — but only if it’s cute, daydreamy mutual pining, not painful, angsty mutual pining
  • Person A likes person B but doesn’t think it’s requited; then their feelings come to light and person B, who has been patiently waiting for this, is shocked person A didn’t realise how much they liked them
• Partners expressing how much they mean to each other
• Chatting in bed
• Significant others being physical with each other, e.g., hugging, holding each other in bed, rubbing each other’s backs, cuddling on the couch... I’m very touch-starved, so let me live vicariously!
  • Non-sexual naked cuddling (or underwear cuddling) in particular is so good
• Being sensual/sexual without having sex (e.g., groping, massages)
• Unbuttoned button-down blouses inviting a girlfriend’s stares, whether with or without a bra under it
• Friends to lovers, but only if the characters are queer
• Couples realising they’re in love and immediately having sex
• Couples suddenly feeling the need to have sex right away
• Underboob, and characters who love underboob as much as I do

LIFE IS STRANGE

Requested ships: Max/Chloe, Max/Kate, Chloe/Rachel
Requested friendships: Max & Chloe & Rachel

Notes: I read Rachel and maybe Chloe as trans, but that doesn't mean you have to.

Prompts:

• In the biggest non-surprise of the year, one of my favorite elements of the game is Max playing detective. I’d love fic centering around Max and Chloe solving a mystery, whether that be Rachel’s disappearance or something new.
• Rachel and Max get to meet and become friends

DNW: Pain.


PERSONA 5

Requested ships: Makoto/Ann, Makoto/Ren, Sae/Tae, Ann/Shiho
Requested characters: Futaba

Prompts: I have so goddamn many I'll just link to the relevant section of the running letter.


TALES OF BERSERIA

Requested ships: Velvet/Magilou

Prompts:

• Laphicet living happily ever after with his moms, Velvet and Magilou.
• Velvet realizes that actually, she’s come to like Magilou despite/because of her ridiculousness. (I’m thinking like Reba and Barbra Jean if you’ve seen that show.)

TOMB RAIDER

Requested friendships: Amanda & Lara
Requested characters: Amanda

Notes:

• I have never played the original games and am meh on the survival continuity, but I loooove the Legend continuity, mostly because I love that interpretation of Lara: humanized, but funny and snarky, and in genuine awe of the world around her.
• I also love Amanda. I don't usually love villains, but I liked Amanda immediately. Probably because she’s really hot and I have a little crush on her.

Prompts:

• Lara and Amanda meet again after Underworld. This can be a favorable or unfavorable meeting.
• Part of why I think Amanda’s so interesting is that she doesn’t start off evil. She starts off seeming to be a perfectly normal person, but her (false) sense of betrayal and abandonment lead her to become so twisted that she ends up killing anyone in her way. So what does that look like? What’s going on in her head as she undergoes that transformation?
• We know Lara experiences guilt after killing Larson, but Underworld tries to brush off her response to killing the Amelia thrall. Although she reasons that her mum actually died years earlier, it still can’t be easy. What goes through her head afterward?
• On a similar note, Lara must take some time to reflect on abandoning Amanda. Although she didn’t actually do anything wrong – even if she had known Amanda was alive, she had to save herself – how is she affected by knowing that Amanda blames her anyway?

CROSSOVERS

Requested friendships: Carmen Sandiego & Lara Croft

Notes: Part of why I love Lara is probably that she reminds me of Carmen Sandiego: they’re both badass globetrotting groundbreaking video game ladies. Lara is nominally a hero and Carmen nominally a villain, but really they both exist in shades of gray. (Sure, Carmen’s stolen all the tea in China, but Lara’s killed god knows how many people.) I’d love to read something where they meet.

Prompts:

• Carmen and Lara meet by chance in some liminal space (thanks kmo for that term) like an airport bar or train station, don’t know who each other is, but strike up a conversation.
• Or, taking it in the opposite direction: Carmen and Lara are old friends, meeting up for the umpteenth time to swap stories and compare notes on the places they’ve both visited. Or maybe they even have mutual enemies (Natla?).
• Lara’s latest adventure involves chasing after Carmen at whatever archaeological site.
