Assault Lily Bouquet
Fanfiction, Fanart
Hitotsuyanagi Riri/Shirai Yuyu: More about their Schutzengel oath, especially for a day like Valentine's Day, would be really interesting. What do they get for each other? Yuyu would surely go the extra mile (look at how dedicated she was finding the bottles of ramune for Riri's birthday). Or I'd love to see something about them getting closer together, learning to work together fighting the Huge, or their different personalities bouncing off each other. Riri's optimism and Yuyu's serious approach mesh nicely.
Hitotsuyanagi Riri/Kaede Johan Nouvel: I just really love how attached Kaede is to Riri after Riri saves her. Does Riri accept how much Kaede has fallen for her, and how does a get together work? Something with body worship would also be nice.
Among Us
Fanfiction, Fanart
Impostor/Impostor: All the manipulation, gore, murder, fighting, and dancing around each other! I'd love to see the imposters going out full-force. Maybe they suspect each other from early on, or one of them becomes an imposer through a series of unexpected events. Not enough room on this ship for two of us. Stalking and obsession might be good here -- do they keep each other on the ship longer?
Sus Crewmate & Sus Crewmate: Maybe one of the crewmates keeps following the other following the other crewmate, or there's some task they're doing weirdly, so they eye each other in a sus way. Do they spend time with each other and think too much time together is sus?
Crewmate/Crewmate: One of them can offer their life for the other in the name of love. That'd be romantic, right? But also, any desperate love while the imposter is sneaking around and other fluffy task moments would be nice. It can be Valentine's Day on the ship and things are festive! I can also see this ship being established if you want to do that, or get together in the thick of things is good, too.
Crewmate & Impostor & Mini Crewmate: It'd be cute if the mini crewmate wants to learn things from the imposter and crewmate, causing chaos and annoying fun along the way. Or the mini creamate and crewmate foil the imposter's plans to kill them somehow. Or they can share some downtime eating sweets (that are poisoned).
Crewmate & Wet Floor Sign: Feel free to let the crewmate wear that wet floor sign proudly. What's wet on the floor exactly? What's so appealing about that wet floor sign? Does the wet floor sign make a grab weapon against the imposer, and the crewmate can't put it down for a second? If art, maybe you can show the blood or weird chemical spill (purple or blue?) that the wet floor sign is showing. Or there's something else written on it that has important information...
Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai
Fanfiction, Fanart
I play All Stars, SIF, and keep up with the franchise as well.
Konoe Haruka/Konoe Kanata: Kanata keeps taking care of Haruka, or cheers her on as an idol. Haruka makes Kanata relax for once from doing so much work. Sleeping together and cuddling in bed.
Nakasu Kasumi/Ousaka Shizuku: I love that Kasumi is Shizuku's inspiration to believe in herself, and moments like Shizuku giving Kasumi the barrette are sweet. Maybe Kasumi is too adorable for Shizuku to handle, or Kasumi watches one of Shizuku's plays.
Takasaki Yuu/Uehara Ayumu: If art, I'd love Yuu playing the piano for Ayumu, Ayumu's snake Sasuke somewhere, or both of them feeding each other sweets. Feel free to do something with Ayumu's jealousy. Maybe a relationship comes about after Ayumu wants Yuu to be hers.
Takasaki Yuu/Uehara Ayumu/Yuuki Setsuna: Setsuna ends up encouraging Ayumu to go after her dreams... But maybe their conversation in episode 12 doesn't go that way. I'm fine with Ayumu being really jealous towards Setsuna. I love Setsuna, too, and I'd love to see her feelings towards Yuu develop, especially after she finds her playing the piano. If art, feel free to use pink (for Ayumu) or flames (for Chase!). Or it's not just a triangle poly, but Ayumu develops feelings for Setsuna after a while?
Asaka Karin/Emma Verde: If art, I'd love seeing them both in nature like Switzerland and the Swiss Alps for Emma. Flowers in their hair! I'd love them feeding each other sweets, too, and Karin possibly making her something to eat.
Asaka Karin/Ayanokouji Himeno: Himeno is so blushy and fangirl-y of Karin, and I love Karin's first impression that "she can't have good intentions" to "oh, so you ARE my fan, let me flirt a bit." They can go on a date or learn more about each other for get together feels.
Naruto
Fanfiction, Fanart
I watch the Boruto anime and read the manga, for references. I also know a bit about the Naruto novels in varying pieces and don't mind spoilers, so you can use details from those.
Hyuuga Hinata/Hyuuga Neji: A knight/princess AU seems like it would work well for them! Otherwise, something where Hinata does make the clan better, and Neji does end up finding more satisfaction in his supporting role to her. Unless they get married for political reasons within the clan.
Uchiha Itachi/Uchiha Sasuke/Uzumaki Naruto: This could totally be a V-centered triangle on Sasuke because Itachi and Naruto are so focused on him. But perhaps Itachi and Naruto get together and Sasuke is jealous at first? Post-canon where they're all somehow alive and well, or something gritter during the Fourth War when they all meet each other. Or something in early canon after Kisame and Itachi capture Naruto and Sasuke comes.
Hoshigaki Kisame/Uchiha Itachi: Kisame would surely be very observant because he has more years on him and has killed plenty. It could also be something early on in their partnershp while they're trying to get used to each other's fighting styles, or right before either one of them dies (might be a dream in Kisame's case). Are there softer moments where they just understand each other? Or bloody moments where they're hunting tailed beasts and going around in villages. Kisame gives Itachi all the sweets he wants! Feeding in art with creamy desserts. Itachi being surprisingly... outspoken or not during sex.
Uchiha Itachi/Uchiha Shisui: Shisui lives and Itachi visits him while in the Akatsuki is always an option. Or how desperate they are to geet the clan on their side, involving the scenario they make the Uchiha stop the coup. Stroking and bleeding eyes, the crows, or what their idea of peace and loyalty for Konoha is. If darker, Itachi worrying a lot about Shisui. Quiet moments after they spar.
Uchiha Itachi/Uchiha Sasuke: Itachi either being cruel or kind to Sasuke is good no matter where we are in canon. I'm very into the conflicted feelings that Itachi was trying to protect Sasuke the entire time up until his death, but seeing an unrelenting what-if Itachi who meant to kill the clan for so many complicated reasons is also good. Desperate sex during the Fourth War, something on the night of the night of the massacre, or any run-ins they might have before Itachi dies. Feeding each other food and making a big deal of the fact that Sasuke has Itachi's eyes.
Haruno Sakura/Hyuuga Hinata: Mission fic where they have feelings for each other would be good. Love potentions, Hinata taking charge in bed, Sakura healing Hianta, sharing a moment looking at the stars. Friends to lovers trope also works. Or you can have them come off from their feelings for Naruto or Sasuke, jealousy involved or not. Hinata helping Sakura with healing.
Haruno Sakura/Yamanaka Ino: This ship wouldn't be complete without some kind of flower. Examples: cherry blossoms, carnations, roses, lavenders, sunflower, passion, peoy, any flower that sends a love message on Valentine's Day. I love that they remain competitive but good friends. Helping each other with medical jutsu (Sakura putting her hands over Ino's). Realizing they only feelings for Sasuke because they were jealous of losing each other. Risking their lives to protect the other.
Any Character/Tenten: As the tag says, literally anyone, and as a starting point you can use any of the characters I requested. Anyone on Team 9 would also be good choices! Anything involving her seals somehow having to do with the ship would be cool, or anyone who can match Tenten's strong-headed personality. Tenten is sad she doesn't have any cards on Valentine's Day, but then that all changes...
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Fanfiction, Fanart
I've watched the original anime, Rebellion and the recap movies, and the Magia Record anime and played the game a bit. Feel free to draw inspiration from different parts of the franchise mentioned and such.
Any Magical Girl & Kyubey: Even original characters fall under this, I believe, so I’d love to see original magical girls! Magical girls explaining Valentine’s Day to Kyubey, working dynamics hunting witches, or talking about life and culture clashes.
Charlotte/Tomoe Mami: Eating cheese and desserts and plenty of it. But really, the scene in the labyrinth could go differently. Feel free to mention Nagisa for obvious reasons.
Akemi Homura/Kaname Madoka: Madoka in Homura’s world and the way things work in Rebellion would be interesting. But I’m also here for timeline hopping and fluffy feelings on Valentine’s Day. AUs would be good for them. Kisses, ribbons, blood, Godoka.
Nanami Yachiyo/Tamaki Iroha: For art, I'm imaging something with heart balloons or chocolates, so feel free to use that. Anything about them in the dorms or fighting witches. I feel like Yachiyo would freak out at the store trying to find Iroha a great Valentine's Day gift.
Módào Zǔshī
Fanfiction, Fanart
I read the manhua, watched The Untamed, and am up to date on the donghua. Feel free to include other things from those if you want to somehow.
Song Lan/Xiao Xingchen/Xue Yang: This can be before or after Song Lan is killed. XY drives them both insane, but perhaps they have enough of truce that XY ends up accompanying them on their journey. The dynamics of how XY tries to hog either one of them for himself during porn and there's some scuffle about that would work.
Mo Xuanyu/Nie Huaisang: MXY needs love, any kind, and NHS gives it. NHS is manipulative to get MXY to sacrifice himself, but he also showers him in affection. Or he knows it’ll end soon...
Jin Guangyao/Nie Mingjue: You could like... totally get porn to work with NMJ's completed fierce corpse body after it's pieced together. JGY might keep him hidden somehow for himself. Or JGY uses his charms as an incentive for NMJ to trust him as his sworn brother. Manipulation, or conversations they have. JGY playing Song of Clarity for NMJ. Or something before everything crumbles after NMJ helps JGY rise in the ranks and fosters his ambitions, or something during the time Wen Ruohan is killed. I can see non-con being pretty big for them.
Jiang Cheng/Wei Wuxian: JC's real reason to pursue WWX's revival is because he misses him so much after he dies. JC is the one left behind in the Tortoise of Slaughter's cave instead of LWJ. Healing/angry sex after the Jiang clan massacre. Other little moments they're together while they're serving the Wen. WWX stays with JC post-canon as his right-hand man. I like how much WWX tries to do what he can for JC despite how nothing seems to work out for him in the end, and JC's hatred and conflicting feelings for him fueling his rage. Hatesex, JC captures WWX, snippets at Lotus Pier.
Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian: The normal married life, cultivating WWX's body post-canon, and angst during canon at any point (after WWX's revival or the Cloud Recesses) all works. Bath times, LWJ making WWX something to eat, something happening when they were younger or in the turtle cave.
Baoshan Sanren/Cangse Sanren: Something if Cangse Sanren didn't leave the mountain? Maybe Cangse Sanren decides to stay because her feelings for her are too strong to leave forever. Moments of her learning and cultivating under Baoshan Sanren. Canon divergences or complete mentor/student and modern AUs might work for them. Feel free to include Wei Wuxian as their kid instead.
Jin Ling/Lan Sizhui: This can one of those things that develops post-canon when JL is busy as the Jin clan leader and LSH comes to visit him. Sizhui's politeness and calmness might be exactly what JL needs to stay sane with so much going on, and they end up growing closer. Other moments they have night hunts, especially if JL goes out of his way to protect him during night hunts and goes a bit too far. Is that how Sizhui realizes his feelings? Meals or moments of longing.
Jiang Yanli/Jin Zixuan: JZX lives! More into how they view each other, especially after Phoenix Mountain. Their first time or other things canon didn’t get to show about their growing feelings. Playing with baby JL.
Original Work
Fanfiction, Fanart
For non-specified relationships, I'm okay with F/F, M/M, M/F, or other pairings that involve dynamics like trans, asexual, and nonbinary.
Sword Lesbian/Sword Lesbian: Lesbians who cross swords on a wandering journey and keep up their rivalry, friendly or hostile. Learning the sword and practicing together. Art: Flames, ice, or light glints on the swords as they clash.
Light Mage/Dark Mage: I'm always a fan of opposites attract or one half is good while the other is evil. Is the light mage into using white type of magic, or just upholds a rigid set of good beliefs? The dark mage can also be on the evil side. Art: Sun/moon contrast, black/white.
Exhausted Male Idol/Boyfriend He Has To Keep Secret & Male Idol's Bodyguard: It'd be funny to me if the bodyguard has a lot of ideas about how to keep the boyfriend a secret. Maybe the idol is overworked because they have to get ready for performance soon, or they have a huge deadline. Is the secret boyfriend a normal fan, or someone else in the idol industry? Art: Idol can have black likes under eyes for tiredness. Rushed, or hiding places. Idol costumes.
Angel of Death/Angel of Mercy: I feel like the Angel of Mercy helps make moral decisions for the Angel of Death. Perhaps crimes that Mercy sees as important to forgive (ex. killing) would be punishable by Death. Or Death is just so lost in grief that Mercy helps Death; they're a balance. Art: Black cloak of death, religious pieces like crosses. Long hands, bony for Death and glowing for Mercy.
Lesbian Royal/Lesbian Royal From Another Country: Political divisions between countries, arranged marriages, or just finding each other through a hardship (bandits capture them) would all be interesting. Are they publicly out as lesbians, ans is having two queens accepted? Cultural differences? Art: Crowns, dresses, jewellry, roses,red and blue.
Personification of Death/The Immortal Human Who Constantly Evades Them: The immortal has a specific reason they can't be killed by Death, and Death can't change it. The immortal is quite amused that Death fails to kill them every time. Death plots and schemes and it doesn't really work out. Art: Flowing white robes for the immortal, things like scythes and letters to the immortal since they get evaded.
Female Artist/Female Bookworm: Perhaps the artist draws a scene from the bookworm's favorite book. They both give each other inspiration. Art: Princes, serial killers, watercolor and lush scenery like fields, a bloody battle, Valentine's Day art for a romance novel.
I'm not a robot CAPTCHA/Robot: It'd be funny if the robot does think that CAPTCHA is another robot and somehow there's a lot misunderstandings on the site they're on. Does the robot keep pestering CAPTCHA? Too many failure attempts brings out some odd feelings. Art: Any of the physical displays of captchas you can think of (the color ones, how many pets, numbers and adding, which is the biggest number, the traffic light signs). Antennas for the robot.
Summer Witch/Winter Witch: The contrast in their personalities can be sweet or bitter, or hash like the sunlight and soft like the snow. Do the witches want to see each other's seasons? How beautiful do they find how different things are? Art: Blue snow, ice palace, ice crown, orange bracelet (for sun), fire and greenery.
Female Spy/Rival Female Spy: Perhaps they're seeking intel on the some target. What happens when one of them gets it, and does the other spy corner them? Are they really into each other's seduction and fighting tactics? Art: Disguises, masks, guns.
Moon Goddess/Sun Goddess: Do they only come out during the night and day? How far away is the moon from the sun? Her cool, gentle moonlit beauty is quite the contrast to her fiery, burning passion. Do they offer similar things to the people who pray to them and that makes them closer? I can see them meeting on on a deserted moon, or the top of the sun, for a romantic private date. Art: Rays of moonlight, changes of the moon, eclipses, fiery wings.
Male Alpha/Male Omega (M/M): Power bottom omega would be cool, but it can also be standard. Are there a lot of things the alpha has to do and sway the omega on Valentine's Day, and if so, which customs do they go by? Art: Food sex with sweets and whipped cream.
Loyal Guard/Noble: I'm a sucker for praise kink and loyalty kink ("I'd do anything for you"), so intense protective feelings on both sides are welcome. Does the noble help the guard when they're in trouble? Does the guard struggle with their feelings for the noble but know they can never say anything? Art: Guard has swords crossed in front of noble in a cool gesture. Striking out to protect with high arm pose.
Male Adventurer/Male NPC with Newfound Autonomy: I'm imagining that this NPC is supposed to guide the adventurer on their way by offering directions and advice. But what if the NPC decides to follow the adventurer, or offers some strange advice that goes off the mark for their own plans? Does the NPC help more physically than necessary? You could set this in a game-esque land if you want. Is the adventurer searching for treasure? Maybe the NPC's oddness charms the adventurer. Art: Brimmed adventure hats, water bottles, maps, casual clothes for the NPC, a cave.
Female Super Hero/Female Super Villain: One of them uses beauty related as a weapon or power. They've met in their civilian forms, or a snippet of them fighting when they meet each other during a heist. The super villain is unrelenting about everything and superhero is attracted to that more than she admits. Art: Mirrors, poisons, leaping high in the air, clashing hands and palms sliding against each other, glares.
Female Knight Who Loves Baths/Female Sorceress Who Loves Baths: I'm imagining they're both pleasure seekers and tired often and end up taking a bath together. Can be a normal public bath/hot spring, or they meet in the woods and have a bath in the river because they're both grimy and overworked. This can easily lead to porn, but you can also have them talk to each other about their lives and relax. Probably, they also fought each other beforehand because they're on opposite sides of a war. Art: Pink or red colored water (like dye is coloring the water, or it's just from the bath minerals) for Valentine's Day colors. Fish. Foamy water, steam, towels, discarded clothes, or bubbles.
Alpha/Alpha (F/F): They're both used to being the leaders at work, school, etc., and they more or less have a rivals to lovers relationship that has hatesex? Or they're just both very overwhelmed with each other's pheromones. Art: Teeth, long fingernails, arms on each other's backs.
Spring Witch/Summer Witch: I'm very much a fan of the budding flowers and the greenery of both seasons, so maybe they meet each other out in nature when the seasons start to blend (like on summer solstice). Are there powers benefit from meeting each other? Art: Cherry blossoms, bodies of water, umbrella, ice cream, growing plants, fruits of the seasons, their familiars.
Foreign Princess Sent as Tribute/Warrior Queen of Fearsome Reputation: Perhaps the foreign tribute is far softer than the warrior queen. The tribute can be younger, too. The tribute knows she doesn't have much time to live (maybe the warrior queen is meant to behead her?) but she gets a final wish in her last days. The tribute is wary of the queen, and the queen wants blood. Snippets of what made the tribute's land in need of a tribute in the first place, and why sending her was the best choice (does her type please the queen and she's just meant to be a slave?). Art: Any manner of weapon for the queen, holding cheek in hand, the princess in flowing clothes, fierce marks and scars on the queen.
Ex-villainess on the same team now but still kind of terrifying/Heroine: Sometimes heroine isn't sure if she means to kill her adversaries like she used to, or if she just doesn't know how to hold in her force. Moments of them working as a team. The villainess only turned to the good side because she's really into how hot the heroine is and she showed her the good way. Art: Standing back to back while fighting, wearing the same uniform, one smirk and another sigh.
The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System
Fanfiction, Fanart
I'm up to date on the donghua, so feel free to draw inspiration there.
Liǔ Míngyān/Shā Huálíng: SHL gets angry at LMY's beauty, but what if she decides she wants it all for herself and captures her after she loses against her? Or LMY's peerless beauty can be used to SHL's favor in another way than just what happened with LBH? Maybe LMY writes porn of them both and SHL finds it hot.
Shen Jiu | Shen Qingqiu/Yue Qingyuan: What if YQY came to get SQQ sooner from the sect, or he breaks him out from the house and they went together to the sect from the start? Life up on the peak and the years in between while they don’t (or do they?) communicate and work together. Moments of them together while they were still young. SJ can stay angry and abusive, or I also like him getting to be happy with the person that understands him the best. YQY just giving him leniency like usual is good (probably would work with YQY being a sub in BDSM?).
Mobei-jun/Shang Qinghua: SQH just marveling at how perfect he is and perfectly for him. :D SQH serving in any way possible. Apparently their first time went badly, so how bad was it? Anything about how they make things work post-canon and get on their own wavelength.
Liu Qingge/Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu: The succubus chapters go differently... and somehow it ends up with them doing more than they expect. Something happens while LQG is helping SQQ while he's clearing his meridians, competitions between peaks, cultivating together, what happens if LQG gets into Hua Hua Palace.
Níng Yīngyīng/Shā Huálíng: NYY is more than SHL can handle even among the demons after she captures her, bnd Shā Huálíng likes her fighting spirit. Snippet of them having a moment in a competition.
The Untamed
Fanfiction, Fanart
I read the manhua, read the novel, and am up to date on the donghua. Feel free to include other things from those if you want to somehow.
Jiang Yanli/Luo "Mianmian" Qingyang: Helping each other at the Cloud Recesses with their studies could lead to a lot of intimate and get together scenarios. Yanli saves Qingyang in the Tortoise of Slaughter's cave somehow, or Qingyang goes to Lotus Pier after she defects from the clan and relies on Yanli. Yanli is very into how logical and smart she is. Little Mianmian is welcome.
Jiang Yanli/Wen Qing: JYL follows WQ at the Cloud Recesses and it leads to them getting to know each other better. WQ ends up treating JYL's injuries, or canon divergent saves her life.
Baoshan Sanren/Lan Yi: Lan Yi can visit the immoral mountain often to visit Baoshan Sanren? The Yin Metal also can be used here, especially if does something to Lan Yi's personality while she's trying to harness it's power. How far does Baoshan Sanren go to protect Lan Li? Their confrontation goes differently.
Jin Guangyao/Nie Huaisang: I love the song and dance they have around each other and there definitely would be a lot of feelings going on under the surface. NHS is horrified that he's starting to get addicted to the idea of getting revenge on JGY in a way that's more than he planned. Meanwhile, JGY can treat NHS well and not be as suspecting of him, like he isn't until he just about dies -- or does he see NHS's plans through their romantic encounters? Fake dating, reminising about Nie Mingjue, political clan bonding.
Song Lan/Xiao Xingchen: SL never dying is always an option! But any of the quiet momen ts of them cultivatin g, traveling, and night hunting together all would be nice to see. SL finds and saves XXC before Xue Yang can do anything about it -- is SL truthful about what happened?
Tiān Guān Cì Fú
Fanfiction, Fanart
I've up to date on the donghua, so feel free to draw inspiration there.
He Xuan/Shi Qingxuan: HX seems to have connected with SQX after all. Is HX just following him post-canon as a beggar? SQX getting HX to do fun things with him. Does HX keep him instead of letting him go? I’d also just like to see hugs and HX grumpily accepting it and SQX delighted.
Bai Wuxiang/Xie Lian: I love how BWX manipulates and becomes overbearing for XL. Basically, all the creepy and bloodiness from Book 4 is great. Would love to see XL give in and end up on his side, their ideology and anger towards the world all on their shoulders. Feel free to mention Jun Wu for obvious reasons. XL touching BWX’s mask.
He Xuan/Shi Wudu: SW is unrelenting about his actions and I LOVE IT. Does HX feel conflicted he killed him for some reason? Does HX decide not to kill SW and keep him alive to just torture him? Do they become a thing even before SW’s death? All the fighting, scheming, and anger! Blood, bones, and water in art.
Quán Yīzhēn/Yǐn Yù: YY lives and they get together would be nice. Maybe QYH pesters YY with affection and happiness and being good-hearted but dumb about it, and YY begrudgingly finds his attraction to him kind of scarily adorable even though he feels like his luck is getting even worse.
Fēng Xìn/Mù Qíng: All the years in heaven without XL, does something happen then? I love how bitter they are towards each other and how their ideas clash so much.
Hua Cheng/Xie Lian: I like those what-ifs if HC had found XL much earlier than canon and the circumstances are different, or how young HC still alive would show his feelings for XL. Post-canon married life fluff is good too.
