cyphomandra: Endo Kanna from Urasawa's 20th century boys reading a volume of manga (manga)
[personal profile] cyphomandra
Dear Chocolatier,

Thanks so much for writing for me!

In general, I like humour, excitement, angst (if justified – not massive amounts of agonising over accidentally returning character X's library book before they finished it), food, moments of peace amongst activity, things that give me new thoughts about canon, and things that bring me back to feeling like I’m experiencing the canon again for the first time.

Artwise, I like a range of styles, from cartoon/chibi to black & white to photorealism. I tend to like art that focuses on the quieter moments in canon and gives characters a breathing space between dramatic events; I’m happy with explicit art as long as it’s tagged!.

DNWs: child/animal death or child/animal sexual abuse. A/B/O or trans headcanons. Non con. I have previously DNW’d earthquakes but am back to being okay with natural disasters; however, like many other people I would prefer to avoid COVID-19 or other epidemics.



Gundam Wing

Chang Wufei/Duo Maxwell
Chang Wufei/Heero Yuy
Chang Wufei/Duo Maxwell/Heero Yuy


Basically I love this series and its completely incomprehensible approach to space warfare, and I am especially fond of Wufei for his grumpiness and actual competence. I think he could certainly be happy with either Duo or Heero, both of whom I also love in their own right for being 100% dedicated to being themselves. For ideas, both fic and art, I love space battles, space colonies, people repairing their Gundams (especially if inexplicably accompanied by flamingoes), preposterous undercover missions, terrible school uniforms, passive-aggressive gardening, and the time-honoured fandom clichéeof hiding out in a safehouse.

Piranesi- Susanna Clarke

Piranesi & the House
Piranesi and Sarah Raphael


This is such an amazing book that anything more related to it would be welcome. I would love art of the House, the birds that nest there, the evocative statues, the waters that nourish and threaten equally; I'd also love a story set there, whether after the book ends or during (or before). I'm also interested in the world behind it. Where do the other doors go? Is there any way to reverse the flow of magic and restore it to our/Sorensen's world? What happens if they take objects back? Is the House influenced by those who visit it? What of the unexplained bones that Piranesi finds? It's such a compellingly strange idea, and such a kind, fascinating book.

Stardew Valley

Maru/Female Player
Elliott/Shane
Maru/Abigail


I have spent considerably more time in Stardew Valley this year and love it dearly. I am here for sweet moments, bizarre explanations of game canon (does Abigail really eat the amythest? where do the dinosaurs come from?), in-jokes, Joja corporation training materials, or basically anything that makes me feel like I’m back in the game. I've picked characters I'd like to hear more from and pairings that I'd like to see investigated - does Maru's robot report back? What on earthi is her next project? Does Elliott write an entire series of cozy mysteries solved by blue chickens before Shane works out he might be interested? Do Abigail and Maru leave the valley for the world elsewhere, and what do they find? The hints we have of the outside world - souless corporations and wars - aren't all that promising, but there must be more.

Original Work

Sword Lesbian/Sword Lesbian
Librarian in library devoted to forbidden magic/Sorceress who really needs that tome (Original Work)
Human Princess/Alien Princess She's Just Entered Into an Arranged Diplomatic Marriage With (OW)


These three f/f ideas sound fantastic. Sword Lesbians! Are they Olympic fencers, historical duellists, women soul-bound to fantasy swords or space merchant rivals? Surely they need to get into some sort of lovingly described fight that reveals Feelings (and possibly some skin). As for the librarian, my track record with overdues and lost books means that I am (almost) totally on the side of the Sorceress. She needs that book! Only she can appreciate it properly rather than leaving it unloved on a dusty shelf. If only there were some way she could convince the firm but incredibly attractive librarian of this. Also human/alien arranged diplomatic marriages! Misunderstandings and hidden feelings. Elaborate state dinners with inexplicable food, formal dress codes, negotiating cultural conflicts, kissing. All great.

Guy who was kidnapped because he's a guide/Sentinel who needs a guide or he'll die (original work)

I am ridiculously fond of the Alternate Universe - Sentinel and Guides are Known - tag on AO3 and would happily wallow in all the tropey goodness of this. Hurt/comfort, bed-sharing, fleeing through the wilderness with evil forces in hot pursuit, Sentinel senses going wild, mystic soul animals. Fantastic.
