[alectorine]

Hi! I'm sulfate (also at pyrophane) and first of all, thank you so much for participating. I'm so excited to see what you create. I’ve written some prompts, but by no means do you have to include all or any of them—so long as you steer clear of my DNWs, if you have a particular idea you’re burning to write, please go for it. Feel free to spin something entirely out of my likes list and disregard the prompts as well.

You can find me elsewhere on twitter ennezahard or highrankership, on tumblr delineative, and on my other dreamwidth rhodochrosite.

Treats in any medium are welcome ❤️

Chase Atlantic
Christian Anthony/Mitchel Cave | fic
Recently I've been going down a rabbithole watching every video I can find of the homoerotic fanservice Christian and Mitchel do onstage: see eg <here>, <here> and <here>. Not a single song where they need to be doing all this! Like they are straight up making out. They are three seconds away from fucking raw in front of the entire stadium. And basically, I want that in fic form.

I'm extremely keen for porn, but I also adore their warm friendship and love for each other, and the depth of history they share. The way they always talk about each other in such glowingly tender terms is so touching. They've seen each other through some real growing pains. And they're totally in love, they just haven't realised it yet. Or maybe they have realised it, but they haven't confessed for the usual reasons of valuing the friendship they already have too much. Please show me the most tropey friends to lovers seemingly unrequited pining get-together story you can come up with. My homophobia DNW doesn't apply to this request, but I'd prefer if it wasn't the main focus.

Some prompts:

• Something that contrasts their intense onstage physicality (and perhaps an offstage Just Bros Jacking Each Other Off, To Help Out A Bro, Because We Are Bros arrangement?) with their equally intense but unarticulated and maybe even shy feelings about each other. Turn the agony of being so physically close and exhibitionistically simulating gestures of intimacy while holding these secret feelings and fears about ruining their friendship up to max. Are they all over each other even in private because they're clingy people and the physical closeness doesn't mean what they both wish it means? Does one of them start pulling away because he's worried the other will figure out HE'S IN LOVE, only for this to be interpreted by the other as a rejection and creating a miscommunication feedback loop?
• "It's not gay to kiss your friends" - let's revisit this. Did they ever """platonically""" experiment with each other while they were on tour? Drunk hookups or excruciatingly sober hookups? Fumbling around in the tour van as quietly as possible to avoid getting caught?
• Songwriting, production, rehearsals - I know they finish the instrumentals before writing the lyrics and use the instrumentals as a source of inspiration for lyricwriting but I'd love to dive deeper into the whole process. Do they brainstorm lyrics together or run ideas past each other? How do they work on staging the songs? Do they practice the fanservice they do onstage?
• Post-concert adrenalin high sex. I know it goes crazy! Tell me how they work off the euphoric rush of being onstage, especially after getting so physical with each other--surely that spills over behind the scenes too...
• NSFW-wise I would love to see Christian sucking Mitchel off, breathplay/choking, and anything that plays up the ill-advisedness of fucking up your throat when your job is singing or the exhibitionistic thrill in risking being discovered by others.
• Totally optional but I'd be really into a fucked up triangulation situation where Clinton, knowing full well about Mitchel's secret feelings for Christian, swoops in and fucks Christian first as a brotherly oneupmanship thing. Obsessed with the idea of Mitchel being all over Christian onstage, knowing Christian and Clinton have just had sex backstage but unable to do anything about it because he can't confess. Happy for a threesome or a Kras/Mitty-exclusive resolution here.

Please no overt infidelity, but feel free to otherwise handle their IRL relationships however you'd like - I'd love if Cas and Jordan knew about and were fine with Christian and Mitchel messing around and I'd love even more if Cas and Jordan had their own thing going on with each other, but I'm also cool with canon divergence where they've amicably broken up or setting the story before they started dating or otherwise not mentioning their partners at all.


Chinese Idol RPF
Ning Yizhuo/Lexie Liu | fic, art
Imagine my delight upon finding out that two of my favourite pop girls ever know each other and are friends! We have yet to see photographic evidence of this but I am always holding out hope. They're both fiercely self-possessed, confident, creative and stylish superstars with a keen eye for curating their own image so it just makes sense they would get along well. I would love literally anything where they interact. I would love for them to be on/off international friends-with-benefits who hook up at luxury brand afterparties or movie premieres or exclusive nightclubs or whatever fancy event they might feasibly both be in attendance at. I would also enjoy seeing them to fall in love along the way if that is your vision, but being casual flings who have fun and uncomplicated sex is just as good.

Some prompts:

• They collaborate on a song for real, not just via mutual appearances on a remix. This is genuinely one of my most fervent wishes in life and even a passing mention to the idea will make me so happy we will need to invent a new word to describe it. I'm imagining this as Yizhuo featuring on a track off Lexie's next album but I would be equally excited for Lexie to feature on a Yizhuo solo in the hopefully not-too-distant future. I'd love to see them working on lyrics together, giving feedback on each other's performances during recording sessions, grabbing meals together, generally refining their craft together, making out in the recording studio, fucking backstage post-performance...
• Lexie remixes Bored and adds her own verse. Yizhuo responds with a cover of one of Lexie's more R&B-leaning tracks. They embark on an intricate form of online singersongwriter flirtation through back-and-forth covers, remixes, and writing songs for/with each other. Modern romance!
• How did they first meet? Was it through the C-ent circuit, or in Korea while Lexie was competing on K-pop Star 5 and Yizhuo was an SM trainee? Lexie mentions in this Elle Canada interview that she left the kpop industry because she realised it wouldn't afford her the creative independence she wanted - how does Yizhuo feel about her own career and the tradeoffs she's made in pursuit of her dream of being a performer, considering that she seems similarly keen on self-expression?
• Canon divergence or futurefic where Yizhuo contracts with Miu Miu instead of Versace and they shoot a campaign together or attend a fashion week or a brand event together. And hook up in a backstage dressing room or a hotel suite?
• Lexie on the Gone Gold album cover always reminds me of a cat burglar, so how about a heist AU? Lexie and Yizhuo orchestrating an Ocean's 8-style heist together (plus your favourite idol girls, if you like) would be so much fun. Alternatively, Lexie and Yizhuo as rival thieves who keep crossing paths trying to steal the same jewel/priceless artefact/gold bullion shipment/etc and exchanging flirty taunts and leaving coded messages and trinkets for each other when they get to their target first? Or maybe it's a classic detective x phantom thief or superhero x supervillain situation? Feel free to include any Aespa superpower lore or Magician/Fortuna MV tarot magical realism vibes, I am always down for magical powers in any situation.
• Feel free to bring in any other idol girls you like! I am open to polyshipping and/or both Lexie and Yizhuo having relationships with other women; for options I'm particularly fond of Kong Xueer, Yuqi, Hunter Schafer (though she isn't an idol) and of course the other Aespa girls. I'd be very interested in seeing Lexie and Yizhuo having an easy casual physical-only dynamic contrasted against one of them having some kind of intense ambiguous possibly-unrequited feelings for someone else.
• Art prompts: something in-universe like a fashion photoshoot / fansite photo / lovestagram / selca at a brand event, Lexie with her Magician wings x Yizhuo in SYNK with ae-Ningning

Fandom-specific DNWs: Yizhuo or Lexie having previous or current romantic relationships with men (friendships are fine - I think Yizhuo & Chenle and Lexie & Xiao Gui have really cute dynamics if you wanted to include those).


Detective Conan
Quick note on the million names and identities everyone in this canon has - I am using the names I tend to refer to the characters by, but please feel free to use whichever name best suits the story you want to tell. I am caught up to the JP release of the manga and have watched all the movies, so feel free to use whatever parts of canon you like and don't worry about spoilers.

For background ships, I like Hagiwara/Matsuda, Scotch/Kir, Vermouth/Kir, Hakuba/Kaito, Hakuba/Akako, Vermouth/Mary, Vermouth/Yukiko, really Vermouth/any woman, and all of the canon ships especially Shinichi/Ran, Heiji/Kazuha and Yamato/Yui.

Fandom-specific DNWs: any reference to top Amuro or bottom Akai, jealousy over previous relationships, Akemi negativity, Shinichi being a point of romantic jealousy or tension between Haibara and Sera (references to past canonical crushes are fine), shipfic set while Haibara is deaged.

Akai Shuichi/Amuro Tooru | fic
Everything about these two is laser calibrated to my id. I have written at length about what I love about their dynamic <here> and <here> if you're interested in reading more of my thoughts, but in essence: I love their rivals to enemies to reluctant allies (TO LOVERS?!) journey. I love the intense grief and heartbreak and betrayal and fury and regret that binds them together, crystallised in the shape of a corpse on a rooftop. I love the identity porn. I love the derangement and delusion Amuro exhibits around Akai despite being an intelligent and competent agent otherwise, and the whole "nobody can kill him except me" thing. I love that Akai is completely unconcerned and even endeared by Amuro's violently murderous intentions towards him. I love that Akai is shielding Amuro from the awful truth about how Scotch died, because he thinks it's better that he is the one to bear the weight of Amuro's hatred than for Amuro to bear it himself. At least Amuro's furious desire to kill Akai in revenge will keep Amuro going and therefore keep Amuro alive. What a terrible act of love! I can't wait to see how everything comes crashing down when the truth is revealed. I really do believe that at the end of everything, after all the smoke and anguish and pain clears, there is real true love.

Some prompts:

• During a Black Organisation mission, Bourbon is dosed with an aphrodisiac. Rye has to deal with a drugged and desperate Bourbon who has unfortunately been crushing horribly on Rye underneath the tsundere antipathy this whole time and is horrified to have that inadvertently revealed. It would actually be so hot if Rye very deliberately does not fuck Bourbon, but I would also naturally love to see the sex part of sex pollen.
• Shortly after his cover is blown and he returns to America, Akai comes back to his apartment one night to find Bourbon sitting in his living room. But Bourbon isn't here to kill Akai... probably. He's here because he's just killed someone for a Black Organisation mission and doesn't know how to deal with it. He is also dealing extremely badly with the still-raw grief of losing Scotch. Akai is willing to give Bourbon what he needs. Terrible coping mechanisms sex ensues!
• I'm obsessed with the I Know That You Know That I Know plausible deniability farce necessitated by the Okiya and Amuro civilian identities and would love to see it drawn out to comical extents (with devastating undertones of the angst underlying everything?). Psychological warfare conducted during grocery shopping run-ins or crossing paths on the street while running "errands" or babysitting the Detective Boys?
• Casefic - I'll eat anything where they're forced to team up. I love seeing them flip from fighting to the death to seamlessly working together when the situation calls for it and/or when Conan plays get-along shirt. It's so funny/sad that despite everything that's happened, Amuro still trusts Akai's capabilities absolutely. Does he realise what he's doing? Does Akai realise what Amuro's doing?
  • Alternatively, tell me about a mission they did together in the Black Organisation. I enjoy the fanon that Bourbon did honeypot work while Rye kept watch through a rifle scope from a nearby rooftop.
• Akai and Amuro have so much crazy intricate history and difficult-to-define feelings about each other in all their various identity permutations that outsider POV on them could be a lot of fun! Some people who might have interesting views on them: Jodie, Vermouth, Kir, Ran, Yukiko, Azusa, Kazami, Gin, the Detective Boys.
• I'd love to see your take on the fallout from Amuro finally finding out the truth about Scotch. What happens once the blade of Amuro's hate is turned away from Akai?
• NSFW-wise, I'm looking for unnegotiated D/s, angry prickly sub bottom Amuro who needs to turn every encounter into a fight for dominance that he inevitably loses so he can be "forced" into submission without having to endure the damage to his pride caused by willingly giving in or the humiliation of admitting to wanting anything from Akai, indulgent but sadistic dom top Akai who is fully aware of this intricate ritual and happy to oblige while bullying Amuro for it, Amuro repeatedly declaring his intent to kill Akai mid-sex.

If the fic is set during their shared Black Organisation years, I would prefer for Akai and Akemi to have already broken up, or for Amuro's interest in Akai to be unrequited at that stage, or for things to stay as unresolved sexual tension between Amuro and Akai.

Sera Masumi/Haibara Ai | fic
Sera the unstoppable force and Haibara the immoveable object is such a compelling combination to me and I think they would be perfect for each other once the dust settles on the Black Organisation war. Sera's enthusiastic adrenalin junkie action heroine personality provides an excellent balance to Haibara's cool quiet dry cynicism and surely if anyone can persist enough to get past Haibara's walls to the vulnerable heart underneath it would be Sera. I love that they can challenge and provoke each other. I love that they're ostensibly on the same side but come into conflict because they have different priorities: Sera being willing to put Haibara's life at risk in order to save Mary and Shinichi having to intervene to shield Haibara from Sera's prying, Haibara literally just trying to lay low and stay alive but here comes Miss Hunting Hound Bourbon Candidate sniffing around her with ""friendly"" interest. Really adds an edge of danger and tension and threat that makes the dynamic pop.

I would prefer not to receive fic set while Haibara is deaged. These prompts are mostly for postcanon futurefic where Haibara has been restored to her original age, but feel free to have Haibara take the APTX 4869 antidote for the duration of the story or just leave out the deaging mechanic in AU scenarios. If you are writing porn, I'd prefer for Sera to be the top and/or dominant one in the ship.

• Sera constantly shows up in Haibara's lab to ask her for forensic analysis favours or pick her brain over a case or bring her food (left safely outside the lab space to prevent contamination, of course) or coax her outside for a break for fresh air/a snack/a walk around the park where there will surely be no corpses--wait, is Sera flirting with her? Wait, is that a corpse by the fountain?
• Casefic generally - would love to see them work together to solve a case and grow closer as they spend time gathering evidence and building a case theory and maybe even apprehending suspects.
• Every time they're doing some cute couple activity like getting crepes or going on arcade dates, they get interrupted by the discovery of a body, in true Detective Conan fashion. Even funnier if one or both of them was not aware these were dates. Actually the detective work is probably part of the date.
• Older sibling roleswap AU where Sera is the FBI or MI6 agent sent to infiltrate the Black Organisation by honeypotting their R&D prodigy Sherry. Does it end as tragically as it did for Akai and Akemi?
• Sera teaches Haibara some self defense. Not every situation can be solved with the mind alone! That this process involves a lot of skin to skin contact and enacting sexy violence on each other is a nice bonus.
• AU where Haibara is some kind of VIP (I'm vaguely imagining her as a scientist whose research has caught the wrong kind of attention and assassins are being sent after her to keep her quiet) and Sera is Haibara's bodyguard or an agent assigned to keep Haibara alive.
• Sera has some memorable jackets that I would love to see Haibara wearing--the purple varsity jacket from The Scarlet Bullet and the motorcycle jacket with the fur collar from Sera's introduction come to mind.
• NSFW ideas: motorcycle sex, puppy top Sera, fuck-or-die / mutual xcon / "wanted it but not like this" scenario orchestrated by Vermouth (while Haibara is under antidote).

Prince of Tennis
Generally, I'll adore anything with the classic Tenipuri tone that zigzags between ridiculous farcical comedy and sincere transcendentally beautiful emotional gutpunches and taking stupid things extremely seriously and taking serious things extremely stupidly. Please feel free to lean hard into the superpower-esque nature of everyone's signature tennis techniques, I love seeing them used in non-tennis contexts too. Please also feel free to go all out on the comedically exaggerated violence and injury with zero lasting physical repercussions except where plot relevant, if you'd like.

I am familiar with both manga and anime canon and am caught up with the JP release of the Shinteni manga. Feel free to use whatever aspects of whatever canon you like and don't worry about spoilers. My high school AU DNW does not apply to this request.

Fandom-specific DNWs: any mention of Tamagawa at all, Kirihara not being the next Rikkai captain (you don't have to explicitly say anything in the fic - just please don't include anything about Kirihara being vice-captain), Ryoma/Sakuno, bottom Atobe, top Ryoma, sexism directed at Kotoha.

Kirihara Akaya/Echizen Ryoma | fic
My beloved rookie aces! They both have many compelling rivalries but I particularly treasure this one. I love that they first meet outside of the context of the middle school tennis circuit altogether. I love their parallel narrative positions as upstart baby prodigies appointed to carry on the legacy of their teams once their seniors are gone. I love that one sequence of panels from their first match where their narrative roles seem to reverse and it's Kirihara who is the point-of-view protagonist and Ryoma who is framed as the monstrous antagonist. I think they both represent aspects of pure potential and would love for them to keep learning from each other and spurring each other on and uplifting each other to new heights through their rivalry.

• They keep showing up unannounced at each other's schools to play practice matches with each other. It's courtship for tennis freaks! Do either of them realise it is, though?
• Flirting by trying to maim or kill each other on the tennis court, patching each other up afterwards, and other wholesome rival activities. The rest of Rikkai and Seigaku look on with benevolent fondness or harried alarm, depending on the person.
• I love the Rikkai rooftop gardens as a setting, and it's Kirihara's favourite place on campus - does he ever bring Ryoma there? Yukimura's physical or metaphorical presence highly welcome.
• Futurefic where they've both gone pro and, frustrated by a recent string of losses, Kirihara finds himself spiralling back into old harmful habits and on Shiraishi's advice takes a break from competitions. While on vacation he happens to run into Ryoma, who it turns out is undergoing a similar quarter-life crisis and can no longer access Tenimuho. Together they rediscover the simple joy of playing tennis for its own sake. Maybe they unlock or re-unlock Tenimuho together. Maybe they don't, and that's okay too.
• Something exploring their respective planet-sized captain complexes and/or crushes and the uniquely complicated feelings of longing/competition/pressure coming from being the successors to their captains' legacies when those captains are rivals as well as mentors and figures from whom they want validation.
• They're at some luxury event as celebrity pro players where they're the only people they know.
• Kintaro's presence is very welcome as well, to round out the junior aces brigade!

For background ships, I like all combinations of Sanada/Yukimura/Kirihara/Ryoma, Kirihara/An (very fond of the idea that An enrols in Rikkai for high school and becomes the team manager), Yanagi/Kirihara, Inui/Yanagi, Yagyuu/Niou, Jackal/Marui, any combinations of Yukimura/Niou/Marui, Rikkai ensemble gen, Kintaro/Ryoma, Tezuka/Ryoma, Atobe/Ryoma, Atobe/Tezuka and Fuji/Ryoma.

Oshitari Yushi/Kitazono Kotoha | fic
Oshitari's courtesy towards Kotoha despite clocking her as an enemy agent on a datagathering mission to take down Hyotei instantly opened up so many beautiful enemies to lovers ship possibilities in my mind. I'd love to see how Oshitari's actions might draw Kotoha's interest (genuinely romantically, or as a mark to exploit, or both?) and how Oshitari might continue to politely but firmly block Kotoha's reconnaissance attempts while being a perfect gentleman... and maybe how they might develop a real connection through that process.

Feel free to age everyone up in AU contexts for convenience.

• Futurefic where Kotoha joins the Hyotei team as their manager in high school. I read Oshitari as Atobe's unofficial vice captain, so I'd love to see the division of power and duty between him and Kotoha as manager (and Atobe too, as regnant King in an absolute monarchy?). Tell me all about Oshitari and Kotoha debating lineup strategy, training menus, team concerns, tennis gear maintenance and stock levels, scheduling practice matches with other schools, budget constraints (someone's got to keep Atobe in check - does Hyotei really need another snow machine for the courts?), doubles synergy ie team dynamics gossip, team building exercise initiatives... I want to see all the political intrigue of a mediaeval royal court in the form of high school tennis club bureaucracy! I want witty flirty power struggles that turn into an alliance of mutual respect!
• Oshitari's closed heart ability is apparently strong enough to block out ambiguously supernatural cult brainwashing, and I'd assume it gives him some shielding against Atobe's Insight variations too, but how does it hold up against Kotoha's entirely analog datagathering abilities that work by convincing her target to willingly divulge their secrets?
• What kind of data does Kotoha have about Oshitari? Does she ever share her observations with him? Does she ever try to honeypot him?
• Epistolary/mixed media style fic in the form of Kotoha's file notes on other characters.
• Spy AU - reconnaissance specialist honeypot Kotoha and handler Oshitari? Or is Oshitari her field partner, or a rival agent? I'd be down for a Detective Conan AU with Kotoha as a Black Organisation agent.
• My entire understanding of the Prohibition era comes from Baccano! but Oshitari and Kotoha would make such a good hardboiled detective x femme fatale combo (my historical/period setting AU DNW does not apply for this prompt).
• Very open to including Atobe in any capacity here to form a sort of Hyotei triumvirate. I like Atobe and Oshitari communicating via smirk emoji and getting along surprisingly well because Oshitari doesn't have a problem with Atobe's authority. I like Kotoha being unafraid to challenge Atobe's authority and entering a passive-aggressive office antagonism with Atobe that is actually also them getting along surprisingly well. I like Oshitari and Kotoha acting as Atobe's right and left hands.

For background ships I also like Ootori/Shishido, Atobe/Tezuka, Atobe/Oshitari, and Atobe/Jirou.


Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V
Akaba Reiji/Kurosaki Shun/Serena | fic, art

One of my most cherished rare ships of all time! I love every subdynamic here--the uncharacteristic soft spot Reiji has for Serena in his continued attempts to protect her and bring her over to his side and her wary acknowledgment of him and reciprocation of his concern! the fucked up unnegotiated D/s power dynamic Reiji manoeuvres Shun into and Shun's seething reluctant obedience that slowly grudgingly approaches respect! the unexpected gentleness and desire to rescue and understand each other that Shun and Serena approach each other with despite being on opposite sides of a war!--and I love the threeway ideological tension once they all combine and how they strike a precarious balance between their conflicting motives and work together and maybe develop genuine attachments to each other. This ship is basically a combination of enemies to lovers and leader/second in command dynamics, which are two of my favourite things ever.

Some prompts:

• I'm very into Reiji's machinations and treatment of Shun and Serena as assets and the clenched-jaw enemy-of-my-enemy cooperation and possible literal mind control via the memory wipe technology LDS possesses -- I'd love something dark and bad end for these three. AU where it turns out Reiji was on Academia's side all along? General mind games and manipulation and gaslighting?
• Postcanon AU where Serena is still around in corporeal form. I tend to imagine Serena stays in Standard with Yuzu, and Shun moves back to Xyz with Yuto and Ruri, but I'm willing to see any vision you have. Do they visit each other or help out during the Xyz rebuilding process? Do they participate in any interdimensional duel tournaments? Do they function as ambassadors of some kind to each other's dimensions? How do they learn how to let each other in and finally articulate what they want from each other?
• Canon divergence where Serena arrives earlier and ends up in a similar situation to Shun with Reiji, and they end up functioning as Reiji's left and right hands in his quest to fend off Academia and build the Lancers. Maybe they enter the Maiami Championships as a tag duel team under LDS?
• AU where Shun and Serena are hitmen working to infiltrate Reiji's company and assassinate him. Are they partners or rivals competing to take him out first? Maybe they have some kind of history with Reiji? Did Reiji put the hit out on himself so he could get them all in the same place again?
• It's such a shame we never got to see them properly duel each other. I'd love some "friendly" practice duels or duelling each other in a tournament or debating deckbuilding and strategy with each other. Get as technical as you like with the card game detail, I'm here for the duels as much as I'm here for the ships.
• NSFW: unnegotiated D/s, authority kink, dubcon, sex pollen as a means of getting these three to let their guard down around each other, breathplay with Shun getting choked.
• Art prompts: something highlighting their respective red items of clothing, something highlighting Shun and Serena having the same colour duel disk, Reiji's scarf as a red string of fate, Shun or Serena wearing Reiji's glasses.

Other ships and dynamics I enjoy: Yuzu/Serena, Ruri/Serena, Rin/Ruri, Yuto/Shun, Yuto/Yuzu, Dennis/Ruri, Reiji/Yuya.

Fandom-specific DNWs: Yuri/Serena, bottom Reiji.


Again, these are all just suggestions—use them or leave them as you wish! Thank you so much, and see you on the other side.
