巷説百物語 | Kousetsu Hyaku Monogatari | Requiem from the Darkness (Anime)
Mediums: Medium - Fanfic

Relationships:

Yamaoka Momosuke & Mataichi & Ogin & Nagamimi (Requiem From The Darkness)

All right, this is probably one of the most obscure things I've ever asked for, but in short, it's the story of a writer in the Edo period named Momosuke who runs into three mysterious figures who call themselves the Ongyou that always seem to show up during horribly gruesome crimes. You'd think he'd be happy since he's wanting to shift from writing children's literature to ghost stories, but something about the constant downer endings of each case starts to weigh on him. Throw in a supernatural conspiracy and some truly creepy animation and it's a darkly beautiful horror anime with a bit of mystery to it.

[Availability note: the English dub is available on Amazon and has all 13 episodes for free with ads.]

DNWs: No animal harm, extreme underage, body fluids (blood is fine), focus on unrequested pairings involving nominated characters (mentions of past canon relationships are fine), permanent nominated character death (transformations/resurrections are fine).

Prompts:

So yeah, there's a lot of people getting murdered in this show, so hey, why not another one? Maybe it's an unseen case set during the period where they were travelling together that Momosuke didn't document for personal reasons. Canon's pretty dark so go as twisted as you want to here.

Or perhaps something set after canon? Maybe Momosuke gets caught up in another supernatural scheme, despite the Ongyou's best attempts to dissuade him from it, and the Ongyou have to solve the case before Momosuke takes the fall for it.

And speaking of post-canon, I have so many thoughts about a universe where Momosuke joins them as the fourth member of the Ongyou with his own abilities. Anything where the four of them are working together in tandem to bring someone to justice – think mind games, illusions, just using their abilities in complementary fashion.

Nightmare - Cornell Woolrich (Novella)
Mediums: Medium - Fanfic

Relationships:

Cliff Dodge/Vincent Hardy (Nightmare - Woolrich)

I ship the hell out of Vince and Cliff and the way Cliff just softens towards Vince, keeping him from losing either his mind or his life. It's one of those stories that easily could have had one of the typical grim endings from Woolrich, but because Vince trusts Cliff, listens to him, and keeps trying to unravel the mystery, he's rewarded at the end with a gruff, but caring, detective who's willing to strip his clothes off to save him. I mean, sure, Cliff is married to his sister, but by the end, the only person Cliff has eyes for is Vince and he spends more time in Vince's bedroom than he does in his own. What I'm saying is that Cliff and Vince are adorable together even with the murders and I want more of them solving mysteries and falling in love.

DNWs: No animal harm, extreme underage (15+ fine), body fluids (blood is fine), permanent nominated character death (transformations/resurrections are fine). No focus on unrequested pairings involving nominated characters; Cliff is canonically married to Vince's sister so I'd prefer that either they had an amicable separation before Cliff and Vince get together or that they were never together at all.

Prompts:

Maybe Cliff never married Vince's sister, but he gets this case about a couple of murders and the more he investigates it, the more he thinks there's something awfully fishy about it. Or maybe they're together from the beginning so when Vince starts getting these nightmares, Cliff's right on top of it to protect him and catch the killer right away.

It would be fun to see Cliff and Vince on a case where Vince isn't the one that needs help. Maybe Cliff needs someone that isn't on the force to lend him an unofficial hand, or maybe it's Cliff himself who's in trouble and it's Vince that has to figure out how to get him out of the mess.

Or you know, maybe neither one of them is directly in trouble and this is just a new weird case that pops up – Woolrich has a fondness for mixing mystery with the supernatural and I'd love anything that borders on it whether it's Cliff and Vince investigating an inexplicable death in an impossible location, or perhaps a disappearance that seemingly has no rational explanation.

Father Brown (2013)
Mediums: Medium - Fanfic

Relationships:

Father Brown/M. Hercule Flambeau (Father Brown)

I definitely fell in love with Chesterton's works a long time ago, particularly his Father Brown stories, and while I always loved Flambeau in the stories, I never really felt the need to ship the two of them together, despite all the slashy overtones. And then I watched the series... and kept watching... and specifically rewatched the Flambeau episodes and I was hooked. It's so clear in the show that Father Brown is just as invested in Flambeau as he is in him, and it's so much fun to just see Father Brown breaking the law just so Flambeau won't get caught, while Flambeau in return just can't stay away from the good priest, especially if he needs help. The ending of the latest episode with the two of them truly had me going, “okay, so you're both willing to give up everything to save the other one” and I can just soak that kind of thing up all day.

Prompts:

So I am fully caught up with the series, which means I am definitely into Flambeau using his thieving talents to steal shit back for the Vatican. Of course, he ropes Father Brown into it at one point, or maybe Father Brown gets entangled into it all on his own (as he is wont to do) and before you know it, artifacts are getting stolen (again), people are having to save each other (again), and the police really should just sit this one out and let the professionals handle it.

I'm also very intrigued by this idea that someone floated online where the roles are reversed – Flambeau as the priest, likely cynical and jaded from what he's seen in the war, who's constantly having a crisis of faith even as he ministers to his flock. Things only get more complicated when a thief announces his desire to steal a religious artifact, and Flambeau can't decide what's the most irritating – the fact that the local constabulary believe he must be involved because of his mysterious past, the village practically falling in love with the “Robin Hood” thief overnight, or that the thief seems hell-bent on restoring Flambeau's faith in God, even if he has to steal half a church to do it...

And you know, there's always murder. Can't go wrong with that! Could be one of those country house set-ups where there's locled rooms and people climbing out of windows (let's face it, Flambeau), or getting snowed in at some posh hotel, or maybe a murder on a train because those are always fun. Throw in a few exiled nobility, or mysterious government agents, or even a rival master thief or figure from someone's past and you have a recipe for a grand old time.

Penny Dreadful (TV)
Mediums: Medium - Fanfic

Relationships:

Ethan Chandler/Sir Malcolm Murray (Penny Dreadful)

As much as I loved Ethan and Vanessa together, I was always intrigued by the relationship between Malcolm and Ethan. It seemed like Malcolm was less close to Ethan than his other "children" (maybe because Ethan was like him) . And then season 3 hit and all of a sudden Malcolm's mission was getting Ethan back and we had daddy issues all over the place with a biological father and a werewolf father and Malcolm shooting Ethan's bio dad to save him in a church and I started going, wow, that escalated quickly (the unofficial motto of Penny Dreadful). And I'm a sucker for people coming together because of grief over a mutual loved one - and wow, do Malcolm and Ethan have a lot to grieve over. I love that basically, the two of them decided "we're done running from our problems so we'll just dwell in them instead."

DNWs: No animal harm, extreme underage, body fluids (blood is fine), focus on unrequested pairings involving nominated characters (mentions of past canon relationships are fine and I'm good with Ethan/Vanessa), permanent nominated character death (transformations/resurrections are fine). Also, please no mention of events in the official comic set after the show.

Prompts:

There's a lot of monsters out there that they could still run into. After all, the penny dreadful field was full of creatures that never made it to the show – Spring Heeled Jack would be a prime candidate to menace the streets, or perhaps there's more than one “resurrection man” digging up corpses. And of course, gothic novels would be fitting too – you can't tell me that Ethan's religious connections wouldn't be interesting if run up against a certain Monk while he and Malcolm trip around Europe.

Or hey, good old-fashioned murder mystery where they're called in to investigate a series of gruesome deaths only to run into another genre entirely. After all, there's a lot of detectives out there they can cross paths with or even some original ones that are suspiciously reminiscent of more than a few characters (public domain is everyone's best friend).

I'd also be down for some sort of undercover work – maybe Malcolm has Ethan pose as his son for some sort of case and while it starts out easy enough, things get complicated because Malcolm really does not have a good track record with parenting (if you want to throw in his whole weird thing with Vanessa or just make the fact that the Penny Dreadful family was one big psychosexual incest party, I'm down for that too.) But you know, they still have a job to complete, a case to solve, and at least one body to stumble over and probably be accused of murdering...

XCOM (2012 Reboot Series)
Mediums: Medium - Fanfic

Relationships:

John "Central" Bradford/Male Commander (XCOM 2012 Reboot Series)

I really do love these two and their utter devotion to each other. I mean, Bradford's loyalty is so obvious it could be seen from space – you don't spend that many years looking for your commander, shrug off a bullet to your shoulder, and then promptly abdicate the leadership of your organization to a guy basically out of brain surgery without having deep faith and complete trust in him. But I like to think the Commander sticks around, not just because the message of “save humanity and destroy ADVENT and win the day” is so strong, but also because Bradford is believing in him, willing to sacrifice everything to save him, and how could he not live up to what Bradford thinks he is?

Prompts:

Mission fic! There are so many of types to choose from and I love them all. But for starters, how about a heist – maybe there's a piece of ADVENT tech that someone's gotten a hold of and they need both Bradford and the Commander's expertise to get out. Maybe only they can recognize it, or you know, all those propaganda posters turned out to be a bad idea when you're trying to run infiltration missions...

Speaking of which, some good old-fahioned “pretending to be partners” might be kind of fun. We know ADVENT was experimenting with creepy suburban simulations, per that last mission, so what if they actually succeeded and created some weird gated neighborhood that our heroes have to investigate. Maybe it turns out to be a trap, maybe it turns out that the heroes knew it was a trap, maybe there's a trap behind that trap, and before you know it, alliances are just all over the damn place with no one sure of who's on whose side.

Or kidnapping followed by a search and rescue op is always fun for maximum angst. Maybe it's a few recruits, or some civilians taken for mysterious reasons, or maybe even Bradford or the Commander himself. Perhaps ADVENT's trying to regroup for a second wave of attacks and they're not going to let the Commander go without a fight or they've realized that the true heart and soul of XCOM was Bradford all along and now it's the Commander's turn to track him down and bring him home.

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?

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.

A Girl Corrupted by the Internet is the Summoned Hero?!

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.

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!

Canon consumption tips, thanks to BFE's PH nonnies:

Tsui no Sora Remake: Visual Novel with an English version available. There are playthroughs on Youtube with about 14 hours of content.

Tsukihime: Visual Novel: Has an English version. Can take between 40 to 50 hours. There's playthroughs on Youtube.

Tsukihime: Anime (Shingetsutan Tsukihime): Doesn't seem to be on any streaming but there's a fansub, 12 episodes.

Tsui no Sora remake: Officially only out in Japanese, but there's an English fan translation. It's NSFW but the length of this YouTube playthrough seems about the right length with what's user-submitted to vndb. It's approx 15.5 hours. Expect psychological horror, gore, heavy emphasis on suicide. Graphic noncon is also plot-important and if it's similar to SubaHibi, very prevalent.

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.

- issuefic*
*Blanket exception on fantasy bigotry, that's always a go - though please don't make it look Curiously Similar and uncomfortably close to RL situations, thereby turning the fic into a PSA about a RL situation. If the canon has/presents/discusses issues, it would not necessarily be issuefic to also have/present/discuss them in the work, or simply depict social issues; what I DNW is something that would attempt to address/rectify a social issue by using the fanwork as a whole/as a teaching point/morality lesson. Am happy to clarify further via mod if this isn't clear enough.

DNW for this prompt: shippy Marcus/Ivanova. Would be down to see them work together platonically though!

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!)

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?)

Robot Series - Isaac Asimov
Mediums: Medium - Fanfic

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.

Jīn Líng | Jīn Rúlán & Lán Jǐngyí & Lán Yuàn | Lán Sīzhuī & Ōuyáng Zizhēn (MDZS)

My favourite stories in this fandom are about the juniors, especially Lan Jingyi and Lan Sizhui. I really enjoyed the novel extras that featured Wei Wuxian mentoring them through mystery cases, and I’m especially a sucker for Jingyi and Sizhui growing up and seeing each other in a new way, falling in love with their best friend. I know the book and donghua better than The Untamed, but I’m familiar with all of them if you want to use details from a specific canon.

I love discovery in stories, whether it’s revelations about a case itself, or dawning awareness about a character or relationship, explored through solving a mystery. I tend toward fantasy, xianxia, and the supernatural, and I love worldbuilding elements and magic.

As may be obvious by the fandoms I’ve chosen, identity porn is another of my favourite tropes, and competence porn is my achilles heel. Characters who are clever and capable, whether trying to outfox each other or working together as a team, will have my full attention.

I’m open to any medium - fic, podfic, comic - including multimedia work and non-traditional format (e.g. epistolary letter writing). Please feel free to get creative! I adore interactive fiction and puzzles – my Yuletide gift this year was inspired by Cain’s Jawbone, and I went absolutely mad writing down clues in my little notebook and theorizing wildly after every chapter.

Asmodeus/Rong Minh Thanh Thuan (Dominion of the Fallen)

This series feels like it was written specifically for me. The sass, the banter, the tension, the sex magic, the power dynamics, the worldbuilding, the characters…I love pretty much everything about it. I really enjoy the constant push-and-pull between Thuan and Asmodeus, and how they’ve found genuine love and respect for each other but still have to balance that against responsibilities to their own people.

I’m also up for rare pairs that involve Lin Chen or Lie Zhanying in the present; I think both of them bring something different and interesting to relationship dynamics. I’ve read the book in addition to watching the series, so you can use details from either canon.

Mediums: Medium - Comic, Medium - Fanfic
Relationships:
Sherlock Holmes & John Watson (SH - ACD)
Canon-typical cases are great! I love weird cases with bizarre schemes (which may or may not actually involve crime) and cases in which Holmes and Watson get to do something burglary or commit other crimes themselves. Also love when cases go horribly wrong and one or both of them end up getting hurt (I especially love when they have to push through the injury to finish the case anyway, like Illustrious Client). Holmes excitedly running around being his weird self while Watson watches without having the vaguest idea of what he’s doing is always so fun, and I love when Holmes takes the time to explain his deductions to Watson. Treats welcome!
Thoughts/prompts: Canon-typical cases (murders, burglaries, blackmailing, important government documents gone missing, etc). Domestic/cozy low stakes mysteries—does Mrs. Hudson ever get involved? Attempts to take a holiday interrupted by crime. A mystery that may or may not be supernatural. Mysteries in Sussex that must be solved despite retirement!
Fandom likes: Reichenbach trauma, Watson’s chronic pain, Holmes repeatedly wrecking his health due to self-neglect/overwork. Quiet moments at 221B, moments together during cases, the intimacy of holding hands and hiding together while robbing someone’s house. Holmes struggling with boredom and depression between cases. Holmes and his violin. The fact that they both write, do they ever help each other with their projects? Early developing friendship, more cases together. Sussex retirement together, beekeeping, finding new interests. Holmes happily rambling about his interests while Watson happily listens. Aspec Holmes (especially aroace), neurodivergent Holmes.
Likes: Hurt/comfort, whump, angst, sickfic. Casefic/missionfic, slice of life, domestic fluff. PTSD/trauma recovery, depression, anxiety. Disability, chronic pain/illness, neurodivergence. Arospec and acespec characters. Best friends, platonic life partners, queerplatonic relationships, ambiguous relationships, romance built on friendship, FWB that stays platonic. Cuddling, holding hands, hugs, forehead kisses. Loyalty/trust, caretaking, characters bleeding and tending each other’s wounds. Suffering, injury, torture, forced to watch, something made them do it, presumed dead, aftermath. Historical settings (accuracy optional!), isolated settings, canon divergent AUs.
Art likes: Everything! I’m most into an artist’s individual style and interpretations. I love digital and traditional mediums equally. Especially fond of moody, melancholy, or hurt/comfort art, but I also adore soft moments, happy moments, slice of life, etc. I'm always onboard with hugs, cuddles, wound tending, characters comforting each other, bed sharing, just spending time together.
DNW: Permanent death of requested characters (temporary okay), hopeless endings. Setting change AU (adding elements to canon like wings, eldritch horror, supernatural creatures, soulbonds, etc welcome!). Pregnancy, focus on unrequested kids, breakups/divorce. Pet death. Therapy, hospital stays longer than a week, cancer/terminal illness. Omegaverse. Scat, mommy/daddy kink, ageplay. Genderswap, focus on dysphoria.

Canon-typical cases are great! I love weird cases with bizarre schemes (which may or may not actually involve crime).

This Holmes is so unstable already, poor thing, and I love how stalwart Watson is despite having absolutely no idea what’s going on most of the time. All of the eldritch horror in this game is just wonderful, and I love how much it complicates investigations when it starts to mess with Holmes’ mind. Treats welcome!

Mediums: Medium - Comic, Medium - Fanfic
Relationships:
Aziraphale & Crowley (Good Omens Book)
I think these two being involved in some sort of case would be delightful. There’s six thousand years of history for them to get entangled in something mysterious, either purely Earthly in nature or something supernatural. They both love stories—do they try to use books/movies as inspiration to solve whatever they’ve gotten entangled in? How would being an angel or demon affect how they try to solve it? Is it an advantage or a disadvantage? Treats welcome!
Thoughts/prompts: Standard detective cases (murders, burglaries, blackmailing, important government documents gone missing, etc). Domestic/cozy low stakes mysteries. Mysteries involving the angelic or demonic worlds, and how that complicates investigation when there’s an angel and a demon trying to look into it. A customer at Aziraphale’s bookshop does something mysterious, and Aziraphale decides to investigate. Crowley gets embroiled in some sort of mystery during one of his schemes (or maybe he’s the one who causes it?)

There’s lots of opportunities for these two to come across a case that needs solving, from their time on freighters, being back in the Fleet, during canon, or post canon on Earth! Bill’s taste in fiction definitely includes mysteries (especially the noir variety), what does Saul think about them? Do they try to use techniques from stories to try to solve whatever it is? Bill is generally better at being tactful than Saul is but not always, how do their personalities help or get in the way if they’re having to ask people questions/get information etc? Treats welcome!
Thoughts/prompts: Standard detective cases (murders, burglaries, blackmailing, important government documents gone missing, etc). Domestic/cozy low stakes mysteries. Mysteries involving the Cylons (maybe some unusual technology?) Trying to unravel more details about Saul’s real past and what happened on the original Earth (or what happened on Kobol!) Something set on one of the Colonies pre-Fall, maybe that they get embroiled in while on leave. More things gone horribly wrong in the Fleet!
Fandom likes: Early developing friendship either in the merchant navy or back in the Fleet, missing scenes, post-canon exploring Earth. Saul drinking to cope with pain/trauma, the two of them having fun getting drunk and hanging out together, Bill being understanding when Saul is especially falling apart.

Marcus Cole & Stephen Franklin (Babylon 5)
Solo: Alfred Bester (Babylon 5)
Something similar to some of the canon-typical incidents would be fun! I really enjoyed Stephen and Marcus investigating together (and getting themselves in trouble) in the show. Londo and Vir have such a hilarious dynamic and watching them try to unravel a mystery of some sort sounds like a complete delight, and it would be fascinating to see if they’re both absolutely awful at it, or if it reveals more hidden depths. I just love Bester with all of his shadiness, and would love to see how his telepathic abilities assist or hamper him in investigations. Treats welcome!
Thoughts/prompts: Standard detective cases (murders, burglaries, blackmailing, important government documents gone missing, etc). Domestic/cozy low stakes mysteries. Mysteries involving various alien cultures and possibly unknown technology. Mysteries on B5 itself, or on any other planet. Maybe Stephen and Marcus happen across a mystery on their way to Mars? Londo and Vir get embroiled in palace intrigue on Centauri Prime? Bester deals with something that’s a real threat to telepaths?
Fandom likes: Worldbuilding, digging into the variety of worldviews, backstory exploration. The collision of cultures on B5 and the day to day reality of having so many different alien species in one place. The First Ones in general being quite eldritch horror and terrifying. Depth and complexity in the characters (I love them but also want to grab them by the shoulders and shake some sense into them). Literary allusions and historical references, humor in the face of horrible things. Stephen's absolute dedication to trying to help (often unwisely). Marcus constantly making references that go over most people's head's (and I love that Stephen gets them). Londo being Londo, with all of his humor and sadness and terrible decision-making skills. Vir's loyalty and morality and desire to make things better. Bester being his shady self while convinced that he's doing the right thing for his people.

Art likes: Everything! I’m most into an artist’s individual style and interpretations. I love digital and traditional mediums equally. Especially fond of moody, melancholy, or hurt/comfort art, but I also adore soft moments, happy moments, slice of life, etc. I'm always onboard with hugs, cuddles, wound tending, characters comforting each other, bed sharing, just spending time together.
DNW: Permanent death of requested characters (temporary okay), hopeless endings. Setting change AU (adding elements to canon like wings, eldritch horror, supernatural creatures, soulbonds, etc welcome!). Pregnancy, focus on unrequested kids, breakups/divorce. Pet death. Therapy, hospital stays longer than a week, cancer/terminal illness. Omegaverse. Scat, mommy/daddy kink, ageplay. Genderswap, focus on dysphoria.

Thank you!
