魔入りました! 入間くん | Mairimashita! Iruma-kun | Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (Anime & Manga)
Amduscias Poro, Demon King Derkila (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun), Lord Sullivan (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun), Opera (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun)

Do Not Want: main character death, tragic ending, character bashing, or any of the major archive warnings except perhaps graphic depictions of violence; overall, I wouldn't want anything too dark that doesn't get resolved in a happy ending, and no genuinely unrequited romantic feelings.
(Also, please do not use anything other than they/them pronouns for Opera! I see he/him so often, and it completely disregards their canonical nonbinary identity...)
I'd prefer for it to not be a crossover, though fusion/AU borrowing from some other piece of media is fine.

I generally love angst with a happy ending, romantic misunderstandings, mistaken identity/identity porn, pining, and comedy - and Poro/Delkira as a ship, which would perhaps be very suited to joyful reunions....? I also love fics with a "gimmick", like for instance soulmate marks, curses that need to be broken, time loops... something that implements new rules that affect the characters and plot, you know.
(By the way, I'm a firm believer in the "Ari-san is Delkira trapped in the ring" theory, so if you choose to include Delkira that way instead of as his Demon King self, I would not object at all!)
Another thing I love is more ensemble-cast-y fics, so even though I chose these four characters because they're the ones I most want to have screentime - seeing as there's little of Delkira interacting with his closest confidantes in canon - I leave it to you to also include as many or as few other characters as you want to fill out the cast.
I don't have a specific prompt for you, mostly I would just love a story about this older generation, maybe with a young Opera thrown in as Sullivan's adopted child, if you choose to set it in the past - or, as previously mentioned, Delkira returning in the present day, or even an AU.
Mostly, I’m curious to see what you might come up with. Thank you!

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August - Claire North
Vincent Rankis (The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August - Claire North), Harry August (The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August - Claire North)

Do Not Want: permanent major character death (as long as they come back in the next life, regular character death is no problem), tragic endings, any of the archive warnings except Graphic Depictions of Violence, character bashing, genuinely unrequited feelings.

I'd be very interested in something post-canon (feel free to make it shippy!) because I read this book years ago and the ending never quite let me go. Fix-it vibes, probably, seeing as I don't really want Vincent to be actually dead...
Some tropes I like include: angst with a happy ending, mistaken identity/identity porn (could also be done with amnesia, in this fandom), mutual pining, bickering/banter, Denial of Feelings.
If you need a prompt, I can offer you: Vincent returns back to life after Harry's 15th life, and doesn't understand why. He knows he's under surveillance, because every attempt of his to go back to building a quantum mirror gets subtly blocked - bank accounts get frozen, buyers suddenly get skittish, letters disappear in the post, none of his former allies will get in contact with him... - but he's just. being left to live his life, apart from that. It's strange, it's infuriating, and what upsets him most is that Harry broke his word to kill him for good, and now doesn't even have the guts to face him.
So, obviously, Vincent will have to seek him out to confront him, and definitely NOT admit that life was lonely and boring without him...

But that's just a suggestion! I'm very curious to see what else you might come up with - and thank you in advance!

The Goes Wrong Show (TV 2019)
Robert Grove (The Goes Wrong Show), Chris Bean (The Goes Wrong Show)

Do Not Want: main character death, tragic ending, character bashing, or any of the major archive warnings; overall, I wouldn't want anything too dark that doesn't get resolved in a happy ending, and no genuinely unrequited romantic feelings.
Please no crossovers or AUs that are very distant from the canonical actor troupe setting.

I low-key ship Chris/Robert, just for the peak dynamic of rivals-to-lovers, but if you'd rather not go down that route, I'd love a gen fic as well! I only chose these two for that reason, but I do really love ensemble casts, so feel free to heavily feature the rest of the troupe, too.
Some tropes I love include: angst with a happy ending, mistaken identity/identity porn, mutual pining, bickering/banter, Denial of Feelings, romantic misunderstandings, comedy - oh, and I also love fics with a "gimmick", like for instance soulmate marks, curses that need to be broken, time loops... something that implements new rules that affect the characters and plot, you know.
I'd also love for it to be set within the usual format of a play going catastrophically wrong, because that's always hilarious. (Maybe a dramatic (and very awkward) reveal of more tender feelings on stage...?) Just something silly and chaotic and fun (and I would certainly not object if you made it a little Christmas-themed, 'tis the season, after all! ;3)
I don't have a specific plot, and I'm also of course not hell-bent on all the other non-Do-Not-Want requests, so please feel free to write the fic that feels right for you - I'm already looking forward to reading it, thank you in advance!

Lupin III
Arsène Lupin III, Zenigata Kouichi

Do Not Want: main character death, tragic ending, character bashing, or any of the major archive warnings except perhaps graphic depictions of violence; overall, I wouldn't want anything too dark that doesn't get resolved in a happy ending, and no genuinely unrequited romantic feelings.
Please no crossovers, though fusions/taking plot elements or AU settings from other pieces of media is fine.

I'll admit, I kind of really ship these two, just because I love the "come and catch me if you can" thief/police officer dynamic... it's just very fun, you know. But if that's a nOTP for you, feel free to keep it platonic!
Some tropes I love include: angst with a happy ending, mistaken identity/identity porn, mutual pining, bickering/banter, Denial of Feelings, romantic misunderstandings, comedy - oh, and I loooooove heist fics, and team-ups against A Greater Evil. I also love fics with a "gimmick", like for instance soulmate marks, curses that need to be broken, time loops... something that implements new rules that affect the characters and plot, you know.
Plus, even though I chose only these two characters, feel free to include all the rest of Lupin's crew - they are all very important to him, after all, and I do so love ensemble casts.
I don't have any specific prompt, really, so you have all the creative freedom! I'm looking forward to whatever you come up with, and thank you very much in advance.
