Dragon Quest XI
Sylvia | Sylvando (Dragon Quest XI), Dave (Dragon Quest XI)
My short list of DNWs:
Non-canon, permanent character death (death of OCs is fine)
Hardcore BDSM, bloodplay, scat/watersports
Extremely graphic gore
Unrequested non-canon pairings
AU settings, including soulbonds, A/B/O, etc (canon divergence is fine!)
References to specific real-world current events, including COVID
I like everything from fluff to angst to casefic to porn to slice of life... it's really hard for me to list likes, because chances are if it isn't explicitly listed in my DNWs, I will like it. I'd much rather have you write a fic you enjoy writing than try to cater specifically to my tastes.
If you want to write sex for any of my suggested pairings, I like pretty vanilla sex scenes, but am also fond of light bondage (handcuffs and such) and cumplay. (Please no body fluids not normally associated with sex.) If you want to write shippy fic but not sex, that's also fine! I have a huge weakness for first kisses, first times, and getting together. And if you want to write gen or just ambiguous relationships, that is also fine. I mostly just kind of babble in my "prompts" section; don't worry about taking any of my ideas too seriously. If I had any solid ideas of what I really wanted, I'd write it myself.
--
I love this game and I especially love Sylvando. He's really confident without being egotistical or thinking he’s better than others; in fact, his greatest strength is the way he draws out the best in other people.
And he and Dave are obviously incredibly close. I'd love to see something about how they met and bonded (you get vague hints at Dave’s backstory in canon, but nothing very concrete, so there’s a lot of wiggle room.) If you want to go shippy with it, something about their relationship shifting from friends/partners to something else would be great, or even just a friends with benefits scenario! Sylvando seems like the kind of person who could have that kind of relationship comfortably as long as both parties were honest about it. (That said, “FWB relationship catches unexpected feelings” is also a trope I enjoy a lot.)
I slightly prefer the original, darker timeline as my “real” canon (the ridiculous parade was probably my favorite thing in the whole game) but I’m okay with either one, and I find the way the characters seem to sort of half-remember the original timeline even if you do the “fixed” one fascinating.

I saw the stage musical in 2012 and loved the Piragua Guy there. When I saw the film I thought Lin-Manuel Miranda was a great choice as both a really wonderful cameo and also because, shallowly, he looks super hot with the beard. I was not expecting the Chris Jackson cameo as Mr. Softee, a character who is only mentioned in the stage version, and the way they interact (even though Mr. Softee has no actual lines) gives their relationship so much more depth. There's so much antagonism there, and the post-credits scene is the best! I kind of shipped it, so if you want to take it that way go for it. Shippy or not, I'd love something exploring their antagonism and possibility of a future friendship. Maybe they have to work together against something bigger, like a rival chain store moving into the neighborhood, or a natural disaster (just please don't get TOO heavy with it). Maybe they just run into each other when not working and realize they have some common ground.
...I don't usually ask for crossovers, but both this and Unavowed take place in modern-day NYC, and the idea of a crossover amuses me greatly. Maybe the thing Mr. Softee and Piragua Guy have to team up against is something supernatural the Unavowed are also investigating?

This movie was so much fun, just the right combination of goofy and exciting and a little touch of pathos. I didn't expect to love Frank/Lily, but I did. I also loved McGregor's arc, getting more and more confident and proactive as the movie went on, and that one scene with Frank (you know the one) was so well-done and so unexpected. I'm babbling even more in the prompts for this than usual, sorry!
Frank adjusting to his new life? McGregor finding love somewhere unexpected? (Male OCs welcome.) Frank/McGregor sex pollen made more awkward by Frank's relationship with Lily (but maybe she's too practical to really care)? I'm not opposed to the idea of an OT3 either but I think it'd take some work to really sell it.
In the ride Trader Sam is, uh, "problematic" is probably the best word for it, and I really love what the movie did with the character. How did she and Frank know each other? How did they first meet? It was weird to me Aguirrez and co. weren't really dealt with in the movie but maybe Sam and her people should be the ones to decide their fate.
Alternately, maybe the curse is lifted and now the conquistadors have to adjust to "modern" life, either in the Amazon with Sam or back in Europe with Frank, McGregor, and Lily.

The requested characters are the four I'm most interested in, so please feel free to use any of them in any combination.
A prequel with Eli and Mandana when Eli is still learning the ropes. I love their relationship and the ambiguity of it, how they're incredibly close without it necessarily being romantic. Unless maybe it is? How did they get to that point? Or, alternately, them having to watch out for Elijah and his family postgame.
Anything involving Melkhiresa showing up again. Maybe they somehow get their old body back -- which might be an issue on its own if they're in prison. Maybe they show up unexpectedly on a different case.
I kind of ship Logan/Melkhiresa in the bartender backstory, something made extremely confusing by the fact that Melkhiresa had all these fond memories of Logan that aren't theirs and possibly aren't even real. I like this one more as an M/M relationship too.
I don't usually ask for crossovers but both this and In the Heights take place in modern-day NYC. Maybe the Unavowed are looking into some weird occurrences in Washington Heights, and the Piragua Guy and Mr. Softee get involved?

I was really waffling on this one for a long time. I adore this game, but I have absolutely no idea what kind of thing I want with fic. I love Harry and Kim, and Harry/Kim, and Harry and anybody else, and probably all kinds of weird pairings and relationships I haven't thought of. I love Revachol in general. I love how the game is strange and beautiful and sad and funny and how every character is such a complicated web of hangups and fuckups and dreams and failure, how people do good things for bad reasons and bad things that they've convinced themselves is right. But what do I actually prompt for?
I have no idea. Do what you want. I don't usually like to leave promptless fandoms in Yuletide but whatever! Buck the norms! Go nuts! It's disco, baby!
