    崩坏:星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
    Mediums:
    • Medium: Fanfiction

    Relationships:

    • Robin/Sunday (Honkai: Star Rail)

    Freeforms:

    • Cradling A Loved One As They Die In Your Arms
    • Event where character gets saved in canon instead goes worse
    • Keeping a promise to a dead loved one even though the promised thing has stopped mattering
    • Loved one's sacrifice brings villainous character back to their senses but at what cost
    • The only way Character A can help Character B is by killing Character B
    • Time Loop - trying and failing to fix it until you realize there is no way to "fix" it
    • Time Loops - Breaking the Loop Requires Letting a Loved One Die
    • Waking from a Happy Dream to the Upsetting Reality
    • You Were Everything I Believed In; What Am I Supposed To Do Now?
    • Seeming fluff that’s actually incredibly bittersweet due to surrounding circumstances

    More detailed general likes in letter!

    NOTES
    • This request is very much a "please feel free to kill either of them" one - Robin being dead for real instead of her fakeout death! Sunday needing to be killed to end Ena's dream, or Robin sacrificing herself to break everyone out of it! And time loop as in doing things over and over in the dream, whether Sunday trying to save Robin or Robin trying to break Sunday out along with everyone else, and eventually realizing that there's no ending in which both of them make it out!
    • For the "seeming fluff" freeform I was definitely thinking of something where one of them is already dead and the fluff is with some kind of simulation within the dreamscape/Ena's dream, though if you have something else in mind I would love that too.

    崩坏:星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
    Mediums:
    • Medium: Fanfiction

    Relationships:

    • Firefly/Stelle (Honkai: Star Rail)

    Freeforms:

    • Character's Noble Sacrifice Ends Up Not Mattering At All
    • I didn't tell you I love you and now it's too late
    • Keeping a promise to a dead loved one even though the promised thing has stopped mattering
    • Making a Grave for Loved One When There's No Body
    • Waking from a Happy Dream to the Upsetting Reality

    More detailed general likes in letter!

    NOTES
    • This is very much just "what if we killed Firefly for real no takebacks", whether that's the fakeout death early on or Sparkle's bomb plot actually being real. Or something outside of Penacony that Elio didn't see coming, so they think she's safe this time until she isn't!
    • On the other hand: Stelle dying would also be such a gut-punch, because you have Firefly who wants to live but has come to terms with her own death, and then instead it's Stelle's death she has to deal with and it turns out she's not so okay with that one after all. Maybe something to do with the stellaron inside her, where Stelle has to die to stop something happening with it or to unlock the energy from it for some purpose (that may or may not even work, depending on if you want to use the "noble sacrifice ends up not mattering" tag)!

    Request 3 by lovelit
    崩坏:星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
    Mediums:
    • Medium: Fanfiction

    Relationships:

    • Blade/Dan Heng (Honkai: Star Rail)

    Freeforms:

    • Complicated relationships of love and loyalty and hurt and resentment
    • Love Turns To Hatred (But The Love Never Goes Away)
    • Immortality as Horror
    • you can't go back to the past and things will never be the same again

    More detailed general likes in letter!

    NOTES
    • I feel like I have very little to say about this one that isn't just a broad sweeping gesture to canon - just give me all the angst about them and their situation and the differences between Yingxing/Dan Feng and Blade/Dan Heng.
    Request-specific DNW: Dan Heng & Dan Feng being treated as the same person - it's fine if other characters (especially anyone from the Xianzhou Luofu) treat him as being the same person as Dan Feng/answerable for Dan Feng's crimes/etc, so long as the narrative (and Dan Heng himself) treat them as being separate people!

    崩坏:星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
    Mediums:
    • Medium: Fanfiction

    Relationships:

    • Acheron/Welt Yang (Honkai: Star Rail)

    Freeforms:

    • A&B not who the other wants but maybe this will be better than nothing (it's not)
    • Immortality as Horror
    • Waking from a Happy Dream to the Upsetting Reality
    • you can't go back to the past and things will never be the same again

    More detailed general likes in letter!

    NOTES
    • I came out of their conversations in Penacony basically going "I want them to turn to each other for comfort and it's actually more upsetting than nothing because neither of them is the person the other knew and they didn't feel that way about those people in the first place". Which was possibly not what I was supposed to get out of that, but it's what I now have a hankering for, so!
    • I have not played very far into HI3 and haven't touched any of the supplementary bits (including APHO). I have no issues with spoilers but if you are touching on anything spoilery for HI3/APHO with Welt's history and such, please explain it at least a little - I feel like HSR itself was pretty bad for this (which is probably why I came out of their scenes just wanting them to make out rather than with any actual coherent thoughts) so if you manage to be remotely less confusing than Hoyoverse's own writing I will take that as very much a win.

    原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
    Mediums:
    • Medium: Fanfiction

    Relationships:

    • Aether/Lumine (Genshin Impact)

    Freeforms:

    • Both/All Of Us Dying Was Always The Plan; Only One Actually Did
    • Character's Noble Sacrifice Ends Up Not Mattering At All
    • Keeping a promise to a dead loved one even though the promised thing has stopped mattering

    • Waking from a Happy Dream to the Upsetting Reality
    • You Were Everything I Believed In; What Am I Supposed To Do Now?

    More detailed general likes in letter!

    NOTES
    • All I want from canon is for them to be happy together but all I want from this request is the opposite. Make me suffer more than Genshin's release schedule for their interactions already does.
    • Traveler!Lumine and Abyss!Aether preferred, although I'm down for the "they're both looping through the story" theories and something where that becomes clear/they both understand at the end that they've played both roles?
    Request-specific DNW: Spoilers for anything past 5.0 - at the time of writing I haven't played 5.1 AQ or the interlude and I'm not 100% certain I'll be caught up before reveals.

    原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
    Mediums:
    • Medium: Fanfiction

    Relationships:

    • Azhdaha/Zhongli (Genshin Impact)

    Freeforms:

    • Immortality as Horror
    • Keeping a promise to a friend-turned-enemy even though the promised thing has stopped mattering
    • Love Turns To Hatred (But The Love Never Goes Away)
    • The Love Was There And It Changed Nothing
    • Role swap: character with canonical tragic end is now the one left behind

    More detailed general likes in letter!

    NOTES
    • This is another "hello can I have all the angst about their actual canonical situation" request, on account of Zhongli's second SQ broke me and I have simply never recovered.
    • For the roleswap request I was thinking of elemental dragon!Zhongli and adepti!Azhdaha (whether also the Archon himself, or just an adepti with someone else as the archon)!
    Request-specific DNW: Azhdaha being referred to as Retuo.

    Freeforms:

    • A&B not who the other wants but maybe this will be better than nothing (it's not)
    • Character A doesn't want to live any more; tells Character B to do whatever they want with them
    • Waking from a Happy Dream to the Upsetting Reality
    • Immortality as Horror

    More detailed general likes in letter!

    NOTES
    • Not requesting major character death here because I don't want either of them to die (just to want to!) but this is very much a ship I only see happening in the absence of both Soushi and KoSoushi, so very okay with their absence basically being a third and fourth member of this horrible little relationship that's a terrible idea for everyone.
    • Past Kazuki/Soushi and Maris/KoSoushi (the latter preferably fucked up and unrealized what with all the betrayal/manipulation involved there) definitely okay and in fact encouraged for this request!

    • Makabe Kazuki/Minashiro Soushi (Fafner)

    Freeforms:

    • Keeping a promise to a dead loved one even though the promised thing has stopped mattering

    • Waking from a Happy Dream to the Upsetting Reality
    • You Were Everything I Believed In; What Am I Supposed To Do Now?

    More detailed general likes in letter!

    NOTES
    • This is basically just "give me all the post-Exodus angst" packed into a request, because the canon really did just wrap this one up and tie it off with a bow for angst. I feel like for Kazuki, Soushi's absence is something so intense that it's like a physical presence in and of itself, except for the fact that it isn't, which is unbearable.
