Takami Keigo | Hawks & Usagiyama Rumi | Miruko (BNHA)
Takami Keigo | Hawks & Tokoyami Fumikage (BnHA)
Dabi & Hawks & Aizawa Shouta (BNHA)
Lady Nagant & Hawks (BNHA)

DNW: omegaverse, requested character(s) dying, smut

Casefic likes: I'm a big fan of heists and missions. And murder mysteries. And plots that eventually come together and keep spiralling into a bigger plan. Hawks infiltrating the League to figure them out? The League investigating Hawks? Maybe they (whoever from the requested characters that may be) team up and investigate the HPSC's shady dealings? Maybe they have to rescue Hawks or Nagant from the HPSC with a heist? Maybe the League is up to something no good again? Maybe the heroes work another case with some notorious villain/serial thief/serial killer/whatever you feel like doing! Kidnapping is cool with me. I also love some good mind games.

General likes: Trauma (aftermath/fallout, (un)healthy coping, recovery, learning to deal/live with it, abuse, characters finding comfort in each other as they face (their) trauma), aro and ace characters, queerplatonic relationships, angst, hurt/comfort, fluff, relationship (dynamics) explorations and figuring out how to even do relationships, complex relationships, mental health struggles, therapy, found family, neurodivergent characters/headcanons (especially autistic characters), character studies, humour and shenanigans, horses, characters who struggle with opening up (having to) be vulnerable

Dislikes: possessive behaviour towards third parties ("how dare you speak to x, you are MY partner"), jealousy, cheating (in current relationships), miscommunication, proposal/wedding-centred stories, unhappy endings

I'm open to treats in any medium! :)

Mediums: Medium - Comic, Medium - Fanfic

Relationships:

Spitz Feier/Winter Moriarty (RKDD)
Spitz Feier/Isshiki "Toto" Totomaru/Kamonohashi Ron (RKDD)
Spitz Feier & Isshiki "Toto" Totomaru & Kamonohashi Ron (RKDD)
Isshiki "Toto" Totomaru/Kamonohashi Ron (RKDD)

DNW: omegaverse, requested character(s) dying, smut

Casefic likes: I love murder mysteries (unsurprising given the whole premise of this show) and canon-typical cases! And heists and missions. And espionage. I love some mind games as well, and when seemingly innocuous things turn out to be part of a bigger plot/plan that then starts to come together. The cruise ship arc was one of my favourites, also the missing cabbages case (vastly different tone but I enjoy some good dramatics as well!), or if you're only familiar with the anime: the auberge case. Kidnapping is cool with me. What if Spitz and Winter have to team up for a case because they share a goal? Maybe it's just a typical day for Ron and Toto and someone got murdered again. Maybe the World Detective Alliance is after them and they have to find a way out of this (again)? Maybe Spitz finally gets to be involved in a case with the two of them and he gets included like he wants so badly. Maybe Milo set up another test for Ron and Toto? Just have fun with it!
[manga spoilers]: I would prefer Ron to actually be able to leave the house, so it not be set in his armchair detective arc.

I'm open to treats in any medium! :)

NoPixel (Web Series)
Mediums: Medium - Comic, Medium - Fanfic

Relationships:

Lang Buddha/Yuno Sykk (NoPixel)
Cleanbois Members & Yuno Sykk (NoPixel)
Solo: Yuno Sykk (NoPixel)

DNW: omegaverse, Yuno or Lang or Tony dying, smut, Yuno saying "I love you"

Casefic likes: Big fan of heists and missions. What if there's a new place for them to rob? The casino heist arc was just magnificent, the way the Cleanbois got so hopeless and desperate trying to figure it out, trying the most out there theories just to have something to try,, beautiful. And the absolute euphoria when they figured it out. Just them robbing things. Also the lower vault arc where Yuno trained so hard to do the usb hack and everyone was so proud of him,, challenge is good when it pays off! Or a murder mystery? Maybe one of them or someone close to them got murdered and they have to solve it to take vengeance? Or one of them got kidnapped and they have to rescue them? I love some espionage as well. Or maybe Yuno goes on an adventure? Honestly have fun with it!

Dislikes: possessive behaviour towards third parties ("how dare you speak to x, you are MY partner"), jealousy, cheating (in current relationships), miscommunication, proposal/wedding-centred stories

I'm open to treats in any medium! :)

Severance (TV)

Helly R./Mark S. (Severance)

I'd love to see Helly and Mark going deeper into the halls of Lumon, trying to solve the mystery of why they're there (or digging up more Eagan lore, meeting other departments...)
Works as

Relationships:

Danny Concannon/C. J. Cregg (The West Wing)

Danny is an investigative journalist, and it's CJ's job to Know things that the President needs her to know... but what happens when he's not telling her the whole truth?
CJ and Danny working out a case together would be cool

PH 10 (fic, podfic) - Gilmore Girls (TV 2000)

Request 1 by septemberbells
Gilmore Girls (TV 2000)
Mediums: Medium - Fanfic, Medium - Podfic

Relationships:

Luke Danes/Lorelai Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)
Rory Gilmore & Lane Kim (Gilmore Girls)
Paris Geller/Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)

I would be really keen on a fluffy cozy mystery casefic: maybe a string of thefts, or something mysterious popping up around town! My DNWs for this would be: anything super grimdark, nothing murdery.

Prompt ideas as required: Something mysterious is happening in Stars Hollow. Stores are mysteriously finding items missing, but paid for overnight. The park looks just a little bit different every day. How is this happening, and why.

Rory is home from Yale for the summer. Sometimes, she wonders why she even bothers coming home when she sees yet another reminder that Stars Hollow is a complete madhouse. But then, she sees her people, and she remembers why.

Luke keeps finding various "improvements" at the diner that he doesn't remember making. Is it Taylor getting on his nerves again, or is this something new?

Tokyo Babylon
Mediums: Medium - Comic, Medium - Fanfic

Relationships:

Sakurazuka Seishirou/Sumeragi Subaru (Tokyo Babylon)

treats always welcome in any medium!<3 see letter for generalized likes.

prompts:
would prefer canon-type setting of subaru and seishirou (and hokuto if you want!) working together on one of subaru's cases. case can be anything - is it actually something supernatural causing a problem, or is it someone trying to mimic something supernatural? for reference, my favorite cases in TB are the chapters call, save, and the tokyo tower case in babel!

otherwise: mysterious disappearances, murders, hauntings, all would very much interest me! i am a huge fan of outside POV as well, and as subaru frequently works with police or detectives, and of course his clients, that could be fun.

prompts:
please feel free to write one ship or add them both in the same fic if that's your thing! i enjoy canon settings, there was that part of the penacony story quests i thought was going to turn into a murder mystery with aventurine and stelle trying to solve robin's death - that could be fun! or stelle and sunday working on something to do with robin as well! i am a fan of aven and/or sunday joining the astral express crew or the stellaron hunters as well. maybe stelle gets roped into helping the ipc with an investigation? any kind of case is welcome, whether that be more of a monster of the week type thing, kidnappings, murder, etc.
otherwise, i am a big fan of unwilling partners being forced to work together to solve something. i also think stelle is very.. trouble prone, one could say, so having her getting stuck as a hostage or something would be on brand i think lol.

prompts:
as far as MC goes, feel free to add your own headcanons or thoughts in. named MC is totally fine, second POV is fine, first POV is fine, and non-named third POV is fine as well!

as MC is a deepspace hunter and sylus runs onychinus, there's often references to cases and investigations - i really love that part of their dynamic. whether it's sylus actually being helpful/having luke and kieran be helpful or just tagging along lol. there's always shady stuff in the N109 zone, so there's lots of room: are we dealing with a wanderer investigation? is it some sort of illegal deal MC was assigned to bust? trying to get intel on something at an auction? something to do with Ever? the wanderer thing can be something outside of canon too, like feel free to make one up!

PH 13 (comic, fic) - 終ノ空 remake | Tsui no Sora Remake, A Girl Corrupted by the Internet is the Summoned Hero?!, Tsukihime (Visual Novel & Anime)

Request 1 by Tulip
終ノ空 remake | Tsui no Sora Remake
Mediums: Medium - Comic, Medium - Fanfic

Relationships:

Wakatsuki Kotomi/Yokoyama Yasuko (Tsui no Sora Remake)
Oyonashi Ayana & Yokoyama Yasuko (Tsui no Sora Remake)
Otonashi Ayana/Yokoyama Yasuko (Tsui no Sora Remake)
Yokoyama Kiyoshi & Yokoyama Yasuko (Tsui no Sora Remake)
Yokoyama Kiyoshi/Yokoyama Yasuko (Tsui no Sora Remake)
Solo: Yokoyama Yasuko (Tsui no Sora Remake)

I am, pretty broadly, a fan of Yasuko being her facades-laden manipulative ruthless selfish intensely-caring-underneath-it-all self; getting to see more of that is likely to be fun regardless of investigation-specifics, and she is conveniently sufficiently investigation-inclined in canon that it's likely to fit in well! But, with that said, specific prompts for the investigation include:

- Murder mysteries could be fun, investigations of unusual people or events a bit like what she does in canon could be fun, trying to resolve thefts or kidnappings or suchlike could be fun, et cetera. (My interests here mostly are running in the Outsider Detective direction as opposed to the Insider Detective direction, but pretty broad within Outsider Detective narrative space, to put it in the terms of this excellent post: https://www.tumblr.com/malcolmschmitz/769322016017891328/the-insider-and-outsider-detective)
- It could be fun to see Yasuko trying to figure out more about the Lovecraftian stuff she only ever very limitedly manages to grasp in canon.
- It could be fun seeing someone else trying to investigate and figure things out about Yasuko herself, with all the layers of crime and deception she's got built around her life.

Treats are welcome!

A Girl Corrupted by the Internet is the Summoned Hero?!
Mediums: Medium - Comic, Medium - Fanfic

Relationships:

Satan Lucifuge Asmodei Ahriman Moloch Melkor Leviathan/Yugano Yuuki (Girl Intercorrupted)
The Wicked Emperor & Yugano Yuuki (Girl Intercorrupted)
Solo: Yugano Yuuki (Girl Intercorrupted)

In canon, we never get to see all that much of how Yuuki operates when she's in a position of relative independence; she's mostly on the Wicked Emperor's rails from start to finish. But, post-canon, that's likely to change! And it seems likely to be fun seeing what sorts of investigations Yuuki might get caught up in as part of her empress-skill-building tour, with the relatively-greater independence she's likely to have at that point. Specific prompts include:

- Yuuki and the Wicked Emperor working together as peers, later in her career, to try to solve some mysterious logistics-failure or out-of-context threat causing problems for the Wicked Empire
- Yuuki, working on her own or with help from Satan, trying to solve a murder or kidnapping or suchlike that's causing problems for her during one of her learning-to-do-politics-somewhat-independently postings
- A partially-informed outsider trying to figure out What is even Happening at the top of the Wicked Empire's hierarchy, in the context of Yuuki's probably-very-weird-if-one-looks-at-it-with-partial-information arrival and ascent there.

Treats are welcome!

Kohaku/Tohno Akiha (Tsukihime)
Solo: Kohaku (Tsukihime)
Tohno Akiha & Tohno Shiki (Tsukihime)
Ciel & Noel (Tsukihime)
Ciel/Noel (Tsukihime)

Tsukihime! Original and remake are both good; both have high-quality Women With Problems trying to untangle a horrible multi-layered mess of a mystery while also actively contributing layers of their own to the mystery at the same time. Lots to investigate, in other words! So, prompts:

- Kohaku trying to figure out what even is going on with the subsets of the vampire stuff she doesn't already know about
- Ciel and Noel trying to solve Dead Apostle-related cases together
- A peek into the corners of canon where Akiha learns the various things she knows-by-the-time-of-canon's-start about Kohaku's history and plans
- Akiha trying to learn what's going on in the parts of Shiki's life that he's reluctant to tell her about, either during or after canon

Treats are welcome!

CLAIMED! PH 15 (fic) - Babylon 5 (TV 1993), Mass Effect: Andromeda, Stargate Atlantis, Robot Series - Isaac Asimov

Request 1 by kanadka
Babylon 5 (TV 1993)
Mediums: Medium - Fanfic
Relationships:
Solo: Marcus Cole (Babylon 5)
I would love anything from light-hearted to very much dark and dramatic, as I think Marcus contains potential for both. Maybe something from Marcus' past - either his backstory as a corpo CEO of a mining company on the colony where he mostly grew up (and this period of his life seems to be him hating his life and generally being miserable - perhaps a run-in with a Psi Corps business telepath like Talia or Lyta?) or his time as a conscript in the Earth-Minbari war where he "didn't see action" but "hated every minute" and was in Earthforce Intelligence (so, spy time - plenty of room for missions). I'd especially love some kind of mission that has Marcus interacting with Minbari (it could be Neroon or any other warrior caste) whether actively or indirectly.
Equally I'd love to see it set in the current canon timeline either as a Ranger initiate (concurrent with S2, some case on Minbar?) or as a full-on Ranger (S3-4, solving something in Downbelow?) or even in a canon divergent AU as a full-on Ranger who somehow survives his own actions (S5?? later even??? :D). idk, but I am open to possibilities where Marcus gets to solve some crime.

Mass Effect: Andromeda
Mediums: Medium - Fanfic
Relationships:
Solo: Reyes Vidal (ME:A)
I loved Reyes!! He is not entirely altruistic but he's not entirely self-serving and he has larger, political goals - but he is also shady and underhanded about them. He's a perfect choice for antagonist/criminal or he could be the one trying to help solve a case (which is particularly difficult to have heroic moments when you're a secret villain). I'd love to see missionfic, casefic, or heistfic, or anything built out of the following:
- Reyes and his angara connections as 'Shena' (especially with Evfra, we don't get any information about his relationship with Evfra but he clearly has a connection there and somehow managed to slip past Evfra's icy exterior when hardly any other human did)
- Reyes schmoozing and playing a suave debonair rakish light-hearted rogue type and lying out his ass about it which is evidenced a moment later when he turns on a dime to become actually quite dangerous
- the sleazier parts of Kadara - how does Reyes navigate them, manipulate them, and indulge in them
- Reyes working with people who don't realise he's Collective, much less that he's the Charlatan, and double-timing people
- Reyes hacking!!
- Reyes masterminding/orchestrating a plot that makes it seem like he fails while the Charlatan wins (I love the dramatic irony if there are characters who don't realise he's both)
- Reyes doing a good for once but because of his position and secrecy, he can't even take credit / Reyes having to balance out having done a good thing by having to do a very bad thing later (it's villain math!)
- Reyes balancing hating what he does and who he is vs an internalised belief that it's the only thing he's ever been good at (this cost, it is sunk!)

Stargate Atlantis
Mediums: Medium - Fanfic
Relationships:
Ronon Dex/Radek Zelenka (SGA)
Ronon Dex & Radek Zelenka (SGA)
Solo: Radek Zelenka (SGA)
Solo: Ronon Dex (SGA)
A lot of SGA was already very episodic and monster-of-the-week and I'm very much hoping for more of that but this time with extra focus on characters that didn't get to play as large a role in solving the case! I loved the S5 bits with the Travellers and how Radek has to interact with them - I see a lot of room for a mission fic of some sort here with their particular worldbuilding. I am also fascinated with Sateda and the lack of worldbuilding we really have for it (you could do a huge number here) and would love to see more Ronon backstory.
For the characters together, both Ronon and Radek show varying levels of being scrappy, although Ronon is clearly more successful at it given the 7 years experience as a runner. I love a scrappy and resourceful protagonist in general and I would also love to see anything that has them working together to solve a case. I think Ronon would find Radek's general lack of pretension around his intelligence refreshing (esp after working with Rodney) and Radek (with generally less ego than Rodney) would be better equipped to recognise and value Ronon's clever contributions or his skillset. But I'd also like to see more of Ronon's ruthlessness and ... alternative methods of justice ... play against Radek's generally hardline moral compass. (Or is it so hardline after all?)

Relationships:
Elijah Baley/R. Daneel Olivaw (Asimov Robots)
I would love anything more in this universe! I also really just generally love their relationship. They develop this mutual loyalty and protectiveness and it transgresses both Baley's Earther boundaries as well as (or so it seems) Daneel's own instructions and apparent lack of autonomy. And yet! Even when tested they don't deny their bond!! I would love to see more of them together and solving cases.
I'd love to see some new case (maybe closer to Earth, maybe on some kind of lunar or Martian colony?) where robots have yet another ranking in the social scale of importance (maybe lower than the Spacers view them, higher than the Earthers view them?) and Daneel has to either go undercover completely (queue a bunch of interactions where he's constantly playing the "would a robot do this?" game to Elijah's mortification or surprise or both) or openly occupy that position while trying to help Elijah solve the case.

For this one I was thinking maybe something during the show; I think Ahsoka should get to be involved with more investigations with any (or all) of her adults. If it's while she's still a Jedi, it could be any sort of mission, and if it's after she's left--what happens, that gets her back into contact with the others?

Mediums: Medium - Comic
Relationships:
Solo: Original Bear Character (Honey Heist)
I'm not a huge fan of trying to guess the twists and turns of a mystery as it unfolds, so you can totally make that kind of casefic for me but the effort might be a little wasted. I love seeing characters plan and scheme, or correctly predict their enemies! I love when a case/mission/heist is a great excuse for competence porn, and I love it when characters are forced to team up against their will to accomplish a common goal, such as solving/committing/covering up a crime. Cases(/etc) are a great way to explore worldbuilding and an amazing way to see characters either doing their job or getting into trouble way over their heads. Or sometimes both! I also really like it when, over the course of an investigation or something, a character has to learn something about themselves or someone they've teamed up with. Cases(/etc) that bring up interesting backstories/make characters bond! Cases(/etc) that make characters confront uncomfortable truths about themselves!
For this fandom in particular, I am most interested in either a heist (unsurprising!) or a trope reversal where a bear is trying to prevent a heist or solve a howdoneit about a honey heist. Or maybe a comic where a human character is desperately trying to prove to other people that this guy they know is, in fact, a bear wearing human clothes? My letter contains further prompts about what kind of bear you might draw and what kind of crime(s) might happen.
Treats welcome.

For this fandom in particular, I'm interested in characters solving and covering up crimes! On the investigative side, I would really enjoy a focus on more mundane, small, commonplace and/or white collar crimes (examples: tree law violations, wage theft, embezzlement, building code violations, corporate espionage) over dramatic action-driven rogue gallery stuff, although I'd definitely enjoy either. On the covering up crimes angle, I'm especially interested in the logistics of not being arrested for vigilante work, as well as dramatic plots about needing to cover up a murder done in self defense/defense of another.
I have a section of Batman-specific likes at the end of my letter with more general crime prompts, in addition to detailed character/relationship specific prompts.

For Leverage crossovers, I would love a canon-typical Leverage job, or any kind of heist or con. It would also be fun to see the Leverage crew dragged into some Batman-typical missionfic stuff. I'd love if there could be some dramatic rescues, like, one of the Leverage characters goes missing, and the DCU character helps investigate and find them. I'd be happy to receive a gift that focuses mostly on just one requested Leverage character and one requested DCU character.
For Danny Phantom crossovers, I'm very interested in each side of the crossover investigating each other! I love when characters are suspicious of each other, and need to decide whether or not they can trust this other person with a big secret...and I also love it when characters try to figure out each others' big secrets. I'd also enjoy mission fics (even/especially tropey mission fics).
For Remy/Tim, I'd love an unexpected teamup where they do a heist together, or for them to become sudden allies in the middle of doing their own crime/investigation stuff, or any tropey missionfic thing where they can get to know each other.
