akausaLetter for the Trick or Treat 2024 exchange.
Hello and happy Halloween in advance. Hope you'll find this letter interesting. Here are a mix of general prompts and characters/ships specific prompts for each fandom (Yuri Kuma Arashi, Soul Eater, Dungeon Meshi, Return of the Obra Dinn). Feel free to mix and match some of those or only use part of a prompt if that's what inspires you.
Let's get my general DNWs out of the way first.
Do Not Wants: character/ship bashing; alternate universes outside of canon divergent ones; stuffing/weight gain kink; infantilization; watersports; scat; explicit sex scenes of characters under 13
Yuri Kuma Arashi
Asking for: art/fic tricks
Characters: Hakonaka Yuriika, Yurizono Mitsuko
I love the aesthetic of YKA and the little bits of symbolism and metaphors, playing on that would be very nice! I'm very into the horror and gore of the bears eating girls. Dubcon and noncon welcome.
In the school, both those characters have a huge amount of influence and I'm interested in focus on that and their relation to the Invisible Storm.
I'd also love to see Yuriika and Mitsuko interacting: do they know about each other's identity? Are they territorial about it? Can be as gen or f/f.
While they don't seem like they would get away from school much, something with them outside of it could also be interesting.
Yuriika:
-Backstory angst: about her early childhood, bitter memories of Reia, difficulties of early teaching days
-Boxes: how she sees the world through them, relating everything to boxes, wishing or achieving to keep a character in a box
-Emptiness in her daily life and self, repression, being stuck in the past
-all the fucked up feelings regarding her regrets towards Reia and her plans towards Kureha
Relationship likes: & "him", & bears
/Reia, &/Kureha, /Kaoru, /the other female bears
Mitsuko:
-Backstory: how she came to the human world, did she make a deal with the judges? Did she spend a lot of time in the bear-world or is she similar to Yuriika? past-relationship with Konomi like how they met and knew each other
-Social standing at school: how she achieved it, more of how she uses it to trick and kill girls
-Seduction and manipulation in general
-Ghost Mitsuko as a corrupting force, either to Ginko like in canon or other characters
Relationship likes: & the invisible storm, & bears
/female bears, /invisible girls, /Sumika, /Kureha
Soul Eater
Asking for: art/fic trick or treat
Characters: Medusa Gorgon, Eruka Frog, Kim Diehl
I love the witches and would love to see so much more about their world, their culture, their history, their powers, their relationship with their corresponding animals. How they connect and learn about one another, their social status amongst other witches. Backstories, missing scenes, canon divergences and future settings very welcome.
I'm interested in seeing them hanging out and doing casual things in their day to day life in the Witch World. Focus on their double lives as they hide themselves amongst humans. Post-manga content where the world is more at peace and they have to work together with their old enemies.
Scheming/manipulations, alone or with others. Conflicts between witches. Any kind of horror would be lovely too! Various uses of magic, for good or bad.
The Soul Eater world is already Halloween-themed a good majority of the time so I'd also enjoy some Halloween mood/setting/celebrations in whatever ways witches might do them. Could be pretty casual and fun or something more horrific!
In the case of art, being experimental and playing with artstyles the way the manga does sometimes would be sweet!
Medusa Gorgon
-Magic/Scientific experimentations: evil done for science, thirst for forbidden knowledge, souls-related stuff, her creepy snakes familiars, dark magic, discussions/exchanges on science and magic knowledge, experimenting on other characters
-Acting undercover/her two-faced nature: whether in her role as Shibusen's nurse or in other occasions, manipulative relationships, ambiguity in Medusa caring maybe a tiny little bit about others or just being a good sociopathic actress
-What does Medusa do to chill out on a day off from throwing the world into chaos
Relationship likes: &Crona, &Eibon, &her sisters, &/other witches, &/Maka, &/Stein
Eruka Frog
-Having a nice day for once
-Alternatively, having a very unlucky day where a lot of trouble keeps finding her and how she manages to escape it... or not!
-Dealing long-term with the consequence of Mizune's death and whether to tell everything to her sisters
-Petty crimes
Relationship likes: &her tadpoles, &Medusa's group, &/other witches, /Free
Kim Diehl
-Angst about the risks/fear of being discovered to be a witch
-Healing herself or someone else
-Focus on the difference in aging with her classmates in the future
-Mission for Shibusen that has her using knowledge/connections from the witches
Relationship likes: &the girls at Shibusen, &/other witches, /Jacqueline, /Maka
Dungeon Meshi
Asking for: art/fic trick or treat
Characters & ship: Cithis, Namari, Falin/Marcille
I've read the whole manga so no issues with spoilers!
Anything in the style of the canon's themes would be lovely: delicious foods, cooking/eating in mundane and heartwarming situations but also the horrors and darker aspects of hunger, worldbuilding and ecosystems, adventuring and explorations, the complex relationships between the fantasy races and their differences.
I love the "anatomy" of the dungeon-s too and Kui's various illustrations of it, from the maze-like aspect, the safe rooms, the gigantism, it being portrayed as a terrarium or a diorama and the ways the characters interact with it. If you want to push portrayals of it even further, like borrowing from Escher's drawings, going in a surrealist or abstract direction, that would be great too!
Halloween: what would it be like in the Dungeon Meshi world? A magical event or something casual? I'd love to see it or something inspired by it, whether it's just fun stuff like candy giving/sharing and putting on costumes or something terrifying, maybe featuring special monsters symbolizing/reflecting the ideas around Halloween.
Namari
-Backstory: scene/relationship with her family and the dwarven community before and/or after her father fucked up. Early adventuring days: with the Touden party or another, slaying a dragon
-Hobbies: her passion in full display while shopping for weapons/armor alone or with someone, blacksmithing and taking care of equipment, going drinking
-Future setting: how might her situation evolve post-canon, settling her debts, career paths after that, which people does she keep seeing
Relationships likes: & the Touden party, & the Tansu party
/Marcille, /Falin, /Marcille/Falin, /Kiki, /Daya
Cithis
-Backstory: anything relating to what her past may have been like, expanding on her crimes &or how exactly she got caught/arrested/judged/made to join the Canaries
-Elf society and how she relates to it
-Use of her powers: any exploration of them and their limits, inventive uses of them, various bad uses of them—can include dubcon and noncon
-Daily life at the Canaries headquarters
Relationships likes:
& any of the Canaries
/Pattadol, /Fleki, /Otta, /Flamela
Falin/Marcille
-Backstory: academy days, early adventuring together and renewed intimacy coming from it
-Epistolary
-Magical researches and experimentations: can be serious or fun, magic sex welcome!
-Future setting: visiting each other's childhood home, relationship evolutions, aging differences—character death is fine
-Dark fic/art: dubcon, noncon, tricked by a succubus looking like the other half of the ship, canon divergences with dungeon lord!Marcille, feral/mind controlled chimera!Falin
Fandom specific DNW: Falin having a dragon dick.
On the other hand, feel free to give her some xeno genitalia, like a cloaca, if you feel like it!
Return of the Obra Dinn
Asking for: art/fic tricks
Ships & Characters: Marcus Gibbs/Winston Smith, Bun-Lan Lim/Mermaid, Jane Bird/Emily Jackson, Henry Brennan, Maba, Abraham Ackbar, Female Inspector
The atmosphere on the Obra Dinn is so good! It's not a canon where we have a lot of clear informations on the characters but given the short-minimum for ToT, I thought it would be a good fit! I'm very open to all interpretations that could be made and extrapolated from what little hints and info we get.
Art-wise, I love the two-colours computer look so if you want to play with that and the various colours options, be my guest! But I'd also really enjoy interpretations of the characters through other styles! Just as an example: something inspired by the art of the time-period, pastiche of art pieces from then.
In general: anything about the characters' status on board, their tasks, dealing well or badly with life at sea. Relationship to the monsters and horrors happening: nightmares, fears and trauma, denial of what's happening/happened, did they believe in sea monsters before? stories they heard, strange things they might have already seen
Character deaths freespace. Be it canonical ones or alternate ones within canon divergence.
Outsider point-of-view: the Inspector—male/female/neither/ambiguous all okay— locking in on one of the other requested characters or ships and making guesswork, analyzing them or their relationship through one or multiple memories. Can be through canon ones or made-up ones; perhaps by finding remains from other animals on the ship.
Marcus Gibbs/Winston Smith:
-anything with Marcus calling Winston "boss" <3
-backstory of their relationship as carpenter and carpenter's mate
-intimate alone moment in the carpenter's room
-canon divergence: Marcus is only wounded on his death scene, leading to Winston taking less risks and staying alive too. Hurt/comfort coming from it and angsty "thank god we're alive" sex extremely welcome. If you want to go further in the timeline, I'm fine with later tragic deaths.
Jane Bird/Emily Jackson:
-hurt/comfort of Jane being seasick and Emily taking care of her
-Jane being charmed by this confident older woman
-Emily growing feelings through protecting Jane
-long-lasting trauma
-having to sail on another ship together
Bun-Lan Lim/Mermaid:
-Canon-divergence: Instead of killing her, the mermaid pulls Bun-Lan Lim underwater. Might be to kill her a bit later after getting her ways with her, might be to bring her to a hidden place where the sea monsters live, might be to transform her into a mermaid
-Bun-Lan Lim appears to know at least something about the monsters. I'd love anything about her being both frightened and fascinated by the idea of the mermaids. Focus on differences between her fantasies and the reality would be neat.
-Erotic dreams/nightmares about the mermaids and erotic killing
-Xeno focusing on the mermaid's multiple breasts, tail and/or spikes.
-Noncon is naturally more than fine, given my prompts. Also feel free to have multiple mermaids involved.
Henry Brennan
-the last two chapters are a bit of a mess for the players to figure out plot-wise and it also probably was a mess for the characters to go through so I'd love to have some of Brennan's thoughts and introspection on what the fuck is happening in any of the events there. He didn't come to the captain's cabin armed so did he expect things to not escalate that much?
-we don't see him in chapter 5 part 1—though he could be there offscreen—but in part 2, he's close to Hamadou's body and looking at him. I'd love to see anything building on that
-gen or m/m with any of his fellow seamen or with Lewis Walker
-also very interested in the relationship between Brennan and 1st mate Hoscut. Did they know each other much or are they sticking together towards the end because of the circumstances? I would also be there for some m/m hints between them
-There seems to be a bit of a gap of time between chapter 9, which is at night, and chapter 10, where it's day, what happened in between?
Maba
-Anything about his tattoos: showcasing them, backstory, another character admiring them
-in chapter 6, we only see him in the first part, at the top of the ship, then in the last part of the chapter, he's at the very bottom of the ship, ready to fight the crab rider. How did he get there before most other characters? Maybe a tense action sequence using his topman skills!
-gen or m/m with any of his fellow topmen. I'm especially interested for something with Lewis Walker, given he was there at his death and they were sleeping next to each other in chapter 7-2.
Abraham Ackbar
-that poor man experienced a lot of close death experiences before his truly horrible fate and I feel terrible for him but I'm also there for the angst and whump that can come from it
-but I also would enjoy an AU divergence where he doesn't die at the same point; does his cannon still shoots and how does it make him feel? What happens to him next?
-his relationship to his fellow comrades from India. Were some of them particularly close or not at all? What did Abraham feel, seeing them die before him? Did he grow closer to William Wasim over the course of the travel? What about Zungi Sathi?
-like for the above characters, shipping him in m/m configurations also welcome
Female Inspector
-backstory: given the time period, the option of the female inspector is an interesting one and I'd love any little dive into her past and what might have led her towards this path
-other cases: bits of another strange adventure our inspector got herself in? If post-canon, perhaps something pushing her to use the stopwatch again!
-meeting/interacting with survivors: canon divergences welcome. Perhaps the inspector met a character in the past, before the Obra Dinn set off. Epistolary with Henry Evans could be nice. I'm also intrigued by the potential of post-canon inspector/Jane Bird, where they end up meeting accidentally to Jane's dismay... or not so much accidentally. Inspector/Emily Jackson, too.

Obra is my host’s absolute favorite game and I’d never even considered the prospect of fanfiction for it before. Super exciting idea. Gonna have to put a pin in it myself!
