Rare Male Slash Letter 2019
Dear Rare Pair Slasher,
Welcome to the party! I'm so excited for you to make something for me! :3 Art and fic are happily accepted, and despite some fandom sections having more description than others, I’d be equally happy to have anything for all fandoms listed. I’m going to be copy-pasting from previous letters from other exchanges to save us time. The sooner we get to create, the better!
When it comes to art, I'm good with traditional and digital! No 3D/hyper-realistic models please. Don't worry about making a picture "shippy enough"—just seeing my requested ships hanging out or general acts of friendship counts. ♥ Hell, if you’re stumped, have them share scarves or dress up in various costumes. I’d be thrilled. :D
All of my writing suggestions equally apply to art~
Yes Plz aka Shut Up and Take My Money
- Fluff and angst in moderation
- Hurt/Comfort, emotional and physical
- "What If..." AUs
- Exploration of alternate timelines, cycles, etc.
- Pokemon/Magical Girl/Puella Magi Madoka Magica/Hunger Games/Battle Royale/Hogwarts fusions
- Modern/Sci-Fi AUs for fantasy canons, and vice-versa.
- Earn Your Happy Ending trope (the more crapsack the world, the more satisfying!)
- Unusual/Unlikely friendships
- Friends to Lovers/Rivals to Lovers/Enemies to Friends to Lovers
- Friends to Enemies to Friends Again/Friends to Enemies to Friends Again to Lovers
- Polyamory
- Frenemies
- Found families
- Petfic/Fanpets (like kidfic, but with my favorite characters raising animals like doggies, kitties, and chinchillas! :D)
- Psychological horror
- Action/Battle scenes (Pokemon battles, Utena duels, Cuphead boss fights, etc)
- World-building and character-driven pieces
- Emotions and wibbliness in smutfic
- Tasteful exploration of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and the cast being supportive, patient and loving with the person going through those struggles.
- Stories where hope and kindness are valued as the ultimate strength that triumphs over cruelty and cynicism (ex. True Pacifist ending in Undertale, Earthbound and Earthbound Beginnings)
- Happy/Bittersweet/Ambiguous/Twist/Hopeful endings
- De/Reconstruction of and bending of fairy-tale tropes
- Robots/Machines/Androids/Cyborgs
- Eldritch abominations
- Enemy Mine, aka enemies/rivals working together
- Tough characters with a love for soft cute things and fights to protect them (ex. A musclehead who loves and protects cats like Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho)
- Badass normals/Normal non-magical characters proving to be independent and strong in their own ways
- Grumpy softies with hearts of gold
- Broken Birds healing/learning to fly again/finding happiness again with or without their wings
- Dysfunctional people learning to heal and fix their relationships
- Stories that start out cute and fluffy but turn out to be scary and disturbing (ex. Eversion, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Dreaming Mary)
- On that note, scary cute things like Charlotte/Bebe, Mimikyu, and Flowey. :D
Nope.jpeg aka Angry Hedgehog Hisses
- Issuefic (with one exception I'll explain later)
- Toxic masculinity (unless deconstructed)
- Misogyny/slut-shaming/Madonna-Whore complex (unless deconstructed)
- Nice Guyism being endorsed by the narrative instead of being called out/deconstructed
- Demonization of female characters in slashfic/Female characters feeling empty and rejected without a boyfriend
- Casual dismissal of familial and platonic relationships as less important than romance
- Bi erasure/demonization and biphobic stereotypes
- Fat-shaming/fetishization
- Rape and sexual abuse*
- Graphic alcoholism and drug addiction (bar scenes, drunken shenanigans, and canon-typical smoking and drinking in Cuphead are fine. Just nothing Requiem For a Dream levels or needles in people’s arms please)
- Infidelity/Cuckolding
- Love triangles in all shapes, forms, and polygons
- Character and Ship bashing unless it's appropriate and IC in-universe (ex. Flowey canonically referring to Sans as "Smiley Trashbag")
- Third Act Misunderstanding and the Liar Revealed tropes (in which the lying character is rejected/ostracized. That said, exceptions are made for deserving unrepentant jerks finally broken of their Karma Houdini status)
- Mpreg/Pregnancy/Miscarriage/Abortion
- Infanticide/Abuse and torture of babies
- Excessive animal abuse and torture, especially for shock value. While I don’t mind animals getting hurt (preferably that they turn out okay in the end) or even bodies or off-screen deaths (ex. A character reminiscences about their hamster who died of old age), Elfen Lied and Cannibal Holocaust-style beat-em-ups and experimentation and murder is a no-no.
- Incest**
- Pedophilia***
- Zombies, vampires, and werewolves
- A/B/O AUs
- High school/College/Coffeeshop AUs
- All-hurt-and-no-comfort fic
- People with faith in humanity being treated as childish and stupid by the narrative
*Canon-typical mentions in Revolutionary Girl Utena are fine. Feel free to include Touga's movie backstory if necessary for your fic. Obviously doesn’t apply to requested non/dubcon ships.
**See above with Utena. Adopted step-siblings with no concrete evidence of a Westermark effect in their relationship don't count to me as incest. Selfcest allowed!
***See above with Utena yet again. Akio is a dick. :P

- Unrequested non/dubcon
- Non/dubcon ships not using requested aggressor
*Inflation involving Beppi from Cuphead is fine, since he’s a balloon and inflates in canon. If popping is involved, it must be painless and involve him regenerating afterward.
Noncon is fine for: Giegue x Ninten (Giegue as aggressor), Flowey x Asriel (Flowey as aggressor), Bendy x Cuphead (Bendy as aggressor)
Dubcon is fine for: Cagney x Cuphead, Cagney x Mugman, Cagney x Cuphead x Mugman (Cagney as aggressor for all), Dice x Beppi, Dice x Werner (Dice as aggressor for all), Mettaton x Burgerpants (either as aggressor), Hyperdeath!Asriel x Ralsei (Hyperdeath as aggressor), all listed noncon ships above
Important: If you're going to do smut with my ships involving kids or teenage characters (ex. Asriel, Ness, Ninten, etc.) please please please please please please please age them up, especially if it's a ship with a wide age gap! While I don't mind teenagers experimenting together, I'd rather not see anyone below 15 being sexually active. For age-gap ships, please no "grooming" and only have the older person reciprocate his feelings when the younger person is old enough to consent.
Cuphead
This game touches my inner animation nerd heart, and I forgive it for being Nintendo Hard because it’s just oh-so-rewarding when you finally beat the bosses. Speaking of bosses, my requests center around quite a few… Since the characters aren’t really fully-developed in-game (most get 2-3 lines at most), a lot of my requests will be based around my own headcanons. But headcanons, like prompts, are entirely optional and up to your discretion. ;D
Cagney x Cuphead, Cagney x Mugman, Cagney x Cuphead x Mugman
I love the idea of Cagney Carnation being a tsundere grump with a heart of gold. Is his first “innocent” flower form something he only regularly shows to people he trusts? I think his cockiness would bounce off great with Cuphead’s, and Mugman would help soothe and calm him down. I can easily see Cuphead poking Cagney and getting on his nerves, and Cagney of course would see right through Mugman’s “innocence” and call him out for enabling his brother and being just as mischievous as he is. Maybe Cagney would be protective of one or both of the cups?
Beppi x Cagney
I blame the Internet for making me like Beppi. ;; I imagine him as kind of a male Pinkie Pie who genuinely wants to entertain and make people happy. Paired with grumpy tsundere Cagney, who becomes much warmer in the clown’s presence? Make way for cute! I see a lot of h/c potential with this ship, like Cagney being a shoulder for Beppi to cry on (along with showing him that it was okay to cry in the first place) or Beppi being kindly to a weaker and smaller Cagney pre-Devil and meeting up again during or after their contracts are burned. I think Beppi cheering up Cagney with balloons (or vice versa with flowers!) would be super sweet. ;;
Beppi x Cuphead
“You make me laugh, little clown… make me moan too?” Thanks to this fanart and this brilliant animatic, I want to see more stuff with this ship. Do they try to out-troll each other? Do they keep pulling pranks one after another until it ends up with them making out (or further?)
Beppi x Djimmi
Gosh, those two would be so cute together! They’re both expert trolls and into fun and magic, but there’s enough differences between them to balance each other out: Djimmi can calm down Beppi when he gets too rowdy, and Beppi provides Djimmi with the freedom he needs after having the Devil as his master for so long. ;; I’m a sucker for the thought of Djimmi’s cats and Beppi’s balloon dogs playing together. Super bonus points if you manage to fit in a Bichon Frise in Beppi’s pet lineup though, I will die. Maybe that’s what he has in a Modern Day/All-Human AU? If Djimmi has literal Sphinx cats (aka the IRL bald kitties) I’d love to see what sweaters he’d make for them to protect their skin and keep them warm during colder days. :)
Beppi x Cagney x Blind Specter
Why have one happy-go-lucky prankster melt a grumpy tsundere flower’s icy heart when you can have two? I can see Beppi and Blind Specter being friends and agreeing to share Cagney and maybe have feelings for each other too. For some reason, I like the thought of Blind Specter being a flirt, and fascinated with Cagney and Beppi in particular since they’re fun to prank while also being so full of life, you know?
Dice x Beppi
Beppi is smarter than he lets on, and he’d make quite a presence in the casino… which of course inevitably attracts the attention of King Dice. While Dice gains the upper hand (or else Beppi wouldn’t owe any debts to the Devil), I’d like to think that Beppi holds his own against him for a while. Does he rub his victory in Beppi’s face? Does Beppi take mercy on him if he’s kicked out of being the Devil’s right-hand man post-True Ending?
Dice x Werner
I entirely blame this post for my craving of this ship. I’ll make an exception for my “no issuefic” request with this prompt: I imagine Werner is gay (or at least likes men, if you’d rather write him as bi/pan), but due to soldier’s pride and fear of vulnerability, he’s closeted as hell and in deep denial he has feelings for anyone. Does King Dice take advantage of this and seduce him in order to convince him to sign a contract with the Devil? All the glorious manipulation (and Werner’s tangled confused feelings of arousal) plz.
Dr. Kahl x Werner
Both of them have a talent for building mechanical inventions and have their own personal robot companion (Dr. Kahl has his infamous robot, Werner has his robot cat) and I imagine what begins as a friendly (or not) rivalry between an isolated old man scientist and a proud embittered veteran becomes something much more. :) Maybe they knew each other during the Great War? Do they both have some form of PTSD that only the two of them are equipped to help each other with? Is there mutual pining that lasts for ages and ages until they finally confess?
Fandom specific DNWs: Human!King Dice depicted as white/Caucasian, Evil!Beppi (exception: post-Bad Ending where everyone turns evil after the Cup Bros. hand over the contracts), Nazi!Werner/Werner supporting the Nazi party in any shape or form
Mother 1 | EarthBound Zero | EarthBound Beginnings
I love this game so much and I think it's criminal it hasn't received a remake yet. Still, it got an official release after all these years later, so it amounts to something, right? I'm going to be using the older translation names (ex. Loid, Podunk, Mt. Itoi) since that's what I'm most familiar with, but feel free to use whichever names you like.
Ninten x Loid
Those two are adorable! I love the idea of Ninten being protective of Loid and Loid developing a small crush on him as they go on their journey. How much does Ninten miss Loid after Teddy replaces him in the party? Is the reason he turned down Ana's confession (which I really appreciate is something you can do, especially since other NES games are like "But Thou Must!") is because he had feelings for Loid instead? Does Loid attempt to show Ninten sciencey goodies and things go out of hand, like in the school science room?
Teddy x Loid
Fucking hell, I love the thought of those two developing a mutual respect from each other. After having a negative first meeting together (Teddy dismissing Loid as weak, Loid being afraid and intimidated by Teddy), they teach each other what strength actually is and end up having an unexpected bond. I have a headcanon that Teddy actually got a hold of Loid through the phone saying his friends wanted him to come back, which was how Loid was able to find and save the gang on Mt. Itoi when they were attacked by the robot. Maybe some years later, Loid shows Teddy how much this weakling has grown...
Teddy x Ninten
Darnit, I still remember a long-lost fanart of those two and it won't leave my head. Ninten is the first person to learn Teddy isn't as mean and ruthless as he looks; what made him come to that conclusion while fighting him? I imagine during their time together, Ninten gave Teddy something worth fighting for beyond avenging his parents. Does Ninten come visit Teddy often at the Live House post-game?
Giegue x Ninten
What if Giegue decides to capture Ninten when he refuses to join him? What if he beats the hell out of everyone and Ninten pleads to take him in order to save his friends (which is the only way I can picture Ninten agreeing to Giegue’s offer)? With that, Giegue decides to put his plans on hold to have a little… fun with Ninten. Points if Loid and Ana save Ninten and ultimately stop Giegue with the melodies in the end!
Fandom specific DNWs: Religion bashing regarding Ana (it counts as part of my "no issuefic" DNW)
Mother 2: Gyiyg no Gyakushuu | EarthBound
Earthbound gives me a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings, and it's given me a gaming experience I'll never forget. ;; Weird enemies, a lot of laughs, memorable characters, horrific nightmare fuel... and of course, how utterly heartwarming the whole journey is. ;;
Ness x Picky Minch
I always felt so sorry for Picky and all he goes through, what with losing his brother to Giygas and all. Yet despite everything, he keeps his chin up and finds a lot of inspiration in Ness. Post-game h/c maybe?
Ness x Frank Fly
This ship could be the spiritual predecessor to Teddy/Ninten, in a way. One of the things I liked was that you could talk to Frank after battling him and he could heal your party. How does he hold up in Onett while Ness is gone? Is Ness an honorary Shark member? Do they get a chance to hang out more often post-game, like at Frank's new job as a burger guy?
Jeff Andonuts x Tony
All those years later and I can't get over how utterly sweet and adorable those two are. Tony's feelings are just so pure, and I always felt Jeff treasured that sort of companionship ("That Tony sure has a heart of gold..." he tells you if you read Tony's letter to him at the end of the game) I don't mind fluff of those two just... exploring around and falling in love and aaaaaaaaa. Maybe they take time for themselves after Tony is freed from his test tube beneath Stonehenge?
Jeff Andonuts x Ness
Those two I imagine having clashing personalities and getting into fights a lot (Ness being outgoing and talkative, while Jeff is more introverted and quiet), but they're both stubborn and once they embrace each other's differences, they become an unstoppable team of friends. How do they work together at Fourside? Hell, what sort of shenanigans happen with those two while they're there...?
Ness x Poo
Meanwhile, Ness and Poo are opposites in a more subtle and less explosive way. Ness is curious about what life is like as a prince and what Mu training is, and Poo finds Ness's happy-go-lucky personality and optimism infectious. Do they train each other? Does it blossom into love?
Jeff Andonuts x Ness x Poo
Apply the two dynamics above, and bingo! You got the boys all together. :) I want to see them grow up and become happy in a world free of Giygas. ;; While they’ve no doubt been through some terrifying shit that’ll likely stay with them in their later years (see: willing to sacrifice themselves as robots knowing the risk they could never come back and see their friends and family again, Mother. Fucking. Giygas.), they discovered many incredible things and had rich experiences throughout travelling the world that they wouldn’t give up for anything, and if anyone knows this journey best, the one filled with smiles and tears… So please tell me how all of them keep in touch with each other, and being there for each other throughout their lives: Ness getting help with his guilt regarding Pokey, the boys helping Paula deal with the stress from the paparazzi and her memories of the Happy Happy cult, Jeff having a cheerleader throughout college and letting him vent when things between him and Dr. Andonuts aren’t going well, and Poo being assured that his ancestors will be proud of him and he’ll do a great job when it’s time for him to be king. ;;
Fandom specific DNWs: Jeff being mean to/disliking/annoyed by Tony.
Undertale
This game came out in late 2015 and I'm still obsessed with it. Figures. It's just that powerful, poignant, funny, dark, heartbreaking, and empowering of a game. And since one of its biggest influences was the Mother series, it's catering to my tastes right there. :P
Important: Please use they/them pronouns for Frisk, Chara, Monster Kid, and Napstablook!
Papyrus x Asriel
Flowey and Papyrus's friendship is fascinating to me. Not only does Papyrus create the Flowey Fan Club (in which he's the only member), Flowey admits Papyrus took him the longest to get bored of. But I rarely see fics where Papyrus and Asriel interact post-True Pacifist, which is a shame because those two are a goldmine of potential due to their "friendship" while Asriel was still Flowey. Maybe Papyrus feels Flowey was the one person who listens to him and takes him seriously (before he got to befriend Frisk and Undyne)? I always thought it would be sweet if Asriel confessed everything he had done to him as Flowey and Papyrus forgave him, or if Papyrus was one of the biggest driving factors to Flowey having a soul again. I can also see him being a cheerleader for Asriel as he adjusts to his original body, as well as helping him deal with the weird moodswings that come from being able to feel love and compassion again. :o
I don't want anything too "dark" in their relationship. Acknowledgment of Flowey's deeds is fine as long as it's not too severe (canon-typical manipulation and murders are fine, but nothing from my dislikes), but please don't have post-True Pacifist!Flowsriel be cruel or abusive (and I mean Evil Sadistic Asshole levels, not "I'm a person and I can be mean and fuck up sometimes" levels). I want to see him heal and grow as a person, not be a reenactment of Flowey at his worst. Besides, I can't stand Papyrus being tortured. D: Feel free to get around the age gap by making Asriel come back as an adult when he regains his soul. I bet that’d be quite a surprise for the main cast, seeing another Boss Monster aside from Toriel and Asgore. :o
Smut option: When Asriel gets his body back, he’s never able to be good at fire magic. But he does retain his plant powers from his time as Flowey, meaning he can still summon vines...
Burgerpants x Mettaton
I find this ship humorous and fun. :) I think while Mettaton teases him and can get vicious at times (see: making an entire CD full of songs about how much Burgerpants sucks at his job), he does genuinely care about him in his own way and stands up for his employee if anyone is being nasty or abusive to him. What would it be like for Burgerpants in the King Mettaton timelines? Would he be trapped as his permanent servant? How would Burgerpants react if Mettaton was killed on one of the Neutral Routes? Would he be in denial? Hell, what if in some twist of fate, Burgerpants has to comfort his boss when he’s having a bad day? Feel free to play with the Boss/Employee power dynamics and humiliation aspects of this ship (especially the canon detail from the patch update about Mettaton dressing Burgerpants up in various outfits for his own amusement) ("NEVER let hot people think you care. That's how they GET you." Implying Burgerpants still thinks his boss is attractive. :P), as long as it doesn't get TOO dark. :)
Asgore x Gaster
Yet another pairing fandom has completely won me over. I love the idea of Gaster being close to Asgore, and offering him comfort and solace post-Asriel & Chara’s deaths and Toriel’s banishment. I imagine him being extremely motivated to relieve Asgore of the guilt and burden that comes from collecting human souls and working himself past his limits to find a more ethical way to break past the barrier… only to fall into the Core and be wiped out of existence, oops. <.<;;; Does Asgore secretly harbor feelings for the Head Scientist that he is torn about confessing in case his ex-wife comes back and fix things between them? Does Gaster try to contact Asgore across timelines, via the flowers in his garden or his dreams? In a post-True Pacifist scenario, does Gaster come back (whether through his own devices or being saved) and reunite with him? Does Asgore still not remember and Gaster tries to jog his memories? Hell, is this the period where the two of them fall in love? The character bashing rule applies here: please don’t demonize Toriel or have her want to get back with Asgore! If Asgore and Gaster get together, I want her to be happy and move on.
Asriel x Flowey
Because I'm a horrible person and would totally get off to this kind of selfcest. :P Regular Adult Asriel or Hyperdeath or even the Absolute God of Hyperdeath is good here, and so is Omega Flowey! I just want the many psyches of Asriel Dreemurr to be pitted against each other and munch popcorn while I'm at it. XD That said, please make it selfcest. No cheating and making Flowey a wholly separate entity unrelated to Asriel. :P
Mettaton x Papyrus x Sans
I blame fandom and the two endings where the skelebros serve as agents for King Mettaton. :P I love the idea of Mettaton falling for both skeletons and loving them in different ways; he and Papyrus would build each other up and admire each other, while Sans provides witty banter and keeps him grounded. I love the idea of a post-True Pacifist scenario where Mettaton makes it big on the surface and starts becoming more curious about the skelebros when Sans takes Papyrus to all his concerts. I can see Sans being protective at first (not overprotective “THE BONE ZONE IS CLOSED” levels, just cautious due to said MTT endings) when Papyrus starts dating MTT, but after a while realizes he isn’t that bad, and might just end up falling for the sexy robot in spite of himself… Just flood me with sexy rectangles and bishounen, spaghetti, puzzles, hot dogs (or cats), Sans trying to rip off MTT with his wares, and terrible TERRIBLE puns, and I’m golden. 8)
Fandom specific DNWs: Dubcon/Noncon in post-True Pacifist, Evil!Chara, Innocent Angel!Chara, Stupid!Papyrus, Creepy Stalker!Asgore, Asriel and Frisk and Chara referred to in and out of narrative as siblings instead of friends.
Revolutionary Girl Utena
I can't believe this series is at its 20th anniversary. ;; Let's see, we got complex characters, gorgeous animation(when it's not in Dorito Mode, haha. XD), badass music, PSYCHOLOGICAL SYMBOLISM GALORE, a fuck-you to gender roles and the idea of girls-loving-girls as "childish" standing up for yourself and your beliefs even when the entire world is against who you are, shredding toxic masculinity to itty bitty little pieces, deconstructing the most harmful aspects of fairy-tales (or at least the harmful aspects the patriarchy added, since a lot of fairy-tales actually have their roots as "old wives tales" shared among women. :o), and the defiance of destiny and established norms to build your own identity and your own roads. Hell yes. The TV series is my preferred canon, but I don't mind having bits and pieces of manga/movie/game lore sprinkled here and there.
Touga x Saionji
Those two are fucking trash and I love them. I loved their interactions throughout the series and the fact I ended up caring about two garbage characters more than I expected. Poor Saionji struggling to catch up with Touga while at the same time is the best person to call him out on his bullshit, and Touga, well... being Touga (and whatever the hell he's defining "friendship" as this time), and that even for those two, there's hope for a healthier future at the end of the series. Exploration of them from the "After the Revolution" manga would be interesting and fun. Oh, and Nanami sassing both of them out? Yes plz A++
Fandom specific DNWs: Reciprocated!Touga x Utena (exception: Past!Touga x Utena from the movie), Tatsuya x Wakaba, Juri x Any guy except Miki
Pokemon
Yep, one of my oldest fandoms, still going strong after twenty years! Pokemon Sun & Moon is so bright and hopeful, like the rays of sunshine over the Alola region. :)
Morty x Eusine
Speaking of those two, how did they meet? How did they become friends? Was it their mutual love of legendary Pokemon and folklore? Due to their ties to their respective Pokemon (Morty to Ho-Oh, Eusine to Suicune), I think they understand each other in regards to trying to reach something that is supposedly unobtainable. Maybe it isn't so much the Pokemon as it is something else connected to their past? (Eusine associating Suicune with memories of his grandfather, Morty and the expectations placed on him after the ancient events of the Burned Tower) Both their miniarcs in HG/SS seemed to involve letting go of their respective Legendary and finding a new dream (ex. Eusine congratulating the player after they catch or defeat Suicune, and Morty's dialogue when you get his number at Bellchime Trail: "The legendary Pokemon did not choose me... But that does not mean that I have lost out on my future. I will continue my training until I discover a new future for me.") Do they decide to look for that new future together? Or, Eugene Fitzherbert-style, discover that each other IS part of their new dream. Hell, I'm just going to quote from Tangled because it sums up how I see Morty and Eusine's relationship:
"I've been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?"
"It will be."
"And what if it is? What do I do then?"
"Well, that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream."
Hau x Gladion
One boy is a cold loner on the run. The other is a future kahuna Shounen Spirit. TOGETHER THEY FIGHT CRIME. In all seriousness, I really love how well Gladion and Hau's personalities complement each other. Hau helps Gladion loosen up and have fun, Gladion urges Hau to take himself more seriously and work hard. They're yin-and-yang in all the right ways, and nourish each other's strengths. :) Also malasada dates ftw~ I'm fine with either Sun/Moon or Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon canons.
Fandom specific DNWs: Eusine acting in any way like his characterization in the main anime (basically shallow, nasty, hypocritical, and flanderized regarding his obsession with Suicune)
Crossover Fandom
No need for introduction regarding crossovers. If you’re familiar with any of my requested fandoms, have at it. ;D
Bendy (Bendy and the Ink Machine) x Cuphead (Cuphead)
There’s so many directions you could do with this ship! They could be friendly rivals or enemies. Maybe Cuphead tries to save him from the machine and being trapped in the studio. Maybe Bendy is attracted to Cuphead and keeps inviting him to become part of the ink with him, and the latter refuses his advances. Would Bendy be possessive over Cuphead and want to keep him to himself forever? Inkplay and ink tentacles encouraged.
King Dice (Cuphead) x The Devil (Cuphead) x Akio Ohtori (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
Charismatic smarmy manifestations of Lucifer unite! Nothing too complex here, I just want to see the three of them hanging out, whether it’s in the casino or the hood of Akio’s car. What sort of things would they be scheming together?
Cagney (Cuphead) x Asriel (Undertale)
I’ve seen Cagney/Flowey and that’s all well and good, but what happens when Flowey gains a soul of his own and transforms into his real form? How would Cagney react to that? Feel free to choose between Hyperdeath or regular adult Asriel. :)
Cagney (Cuphead) x Garry (Ib)
So many possibilities! Is Cagney one of Guertena’s creations who’s fascinated by Garry? Does a human version of Cagney end up trapped in the painting world with Garry and they bond as they look after Ib (*coughsurrogateparentscough*)? How does Cagney react in some of the darker routes where Mary plucks all the petals off Garry’s rose? If in Cuphead universe, would Garry be a blue or lilac rose? Also, the idea of Cagney and Garry being protective of each other is adorable as hell.
Asriel (Undertale) x Ralsei (Deltarune)
What’s better than one adorable goat? Two adorable goats! There’s also the possibility that Ralsei could be a version of Asriel in a parallel universe, so yay, possible selfcest! What if Flowey found his way to the Dark World and met the lonely waiting Ralsei? What if Hyperdeath captured Ralsei and decided to seduce him? Does Ralsei’s unrelenting kindness hit a cord with Asriel?
Mettaton (Undertale) x Rouxls Kaard (Deltarune)
Those two are so alike, yet so different the deeper you look into their characters. What would happen if King Spade was the king of the Underground instead of the Dreemurrs? Would Rouxls Kaard catch MTT on TV while babysitting Lancer? Does he attend one of his concerts and end up catching the robot’s attention? How about an AU where Mettaton lived in the Dark World? How would he and Rouxls run into each other then?
Fandom specific DNWs: Bendy x Alice, unrequested crossovers (ex. adding old*sk00l Disney characters to the Cuphead requests. Subtle unnamed cameos are fine), Human!King Dice depicted as white/Caucasian, Evil!Ralsei
Once again, thank you so much, and happy slashing!
Your Recipient,
Puri
Welcome to the party! I'm so excited for you to make something for me! :3 Art and fic are happily accepted, and despite some fandom sections having more description than others, I’d be equally happy to have anything for all fandoms listed. I’m going to be copy-pasting from previous letters from other exchanges to save us time. The sooner we get to create, the better!
When it comes to art, I'm good with traditional and digital! No 3D/hyper-realistic models please. Don't worry about making a picture "shippy enough"—just seeing my requested ships hanging out or general acts of friendship counts. ♥ Hell, if you’re stumped, have them share scarves or dress up in various costumes. I’d be thrilled. :D

Important: If you're going to do smut with my ships involving kids or teenage characters (ex. Asriel, Ness, Ninten, etc.) please please please please please please please age them up, especially if it's a ship with a wide age gap! While I don't mind teenagers experimenting together, I'd rather not see anyone below 15 being sexually active. For age-gap ships, please no "grooming" and only have the older person reciprocate his feelings when the younger person is old enough to consent.
Cuphead
This game touches my inner animation nerd heart, and I forgive it for being Nintendo Hard because it’s just oh-so-rewarding when you finally beat the bosses. Speaking of bosses, my requests center around quite a few… Since the characters aren’t really fully-developed in-game (most get 2-3 lines at most), a lot of my requests will be based around my own headcanons. But headcanons, like prompts, are entirely optional and up to your discretion. ;D
Cagney x Cuphead, Cagney x Mugman, Cagney x Cuphead x Mugman
I love the idea of Cagney Carnation being a tsundere grump with a heart of gold. Is his first “innocent” flower form something he only regularly shows to people he trusts? I think his cockiness would bounce off great with Cuphead’s, and Mugman would help soothe and calm him down. I can easily see Cuphead poking Cagney and getting on his nerves, and Cagney of course would see right through Mugman’s “innocence” and call him out for enabling his brother and being just as mischievous as he is. Maybe Cagney would be protective of one or both of the cups?
Beppi x Cagney
I blame the Internet for making me like Beppi. ;; I imagine him as kind of a male Pinkie Pie who genuinely wants to entertain and make people happy. Paired with grumpy tsundere Cagney, who becomes much warmer in the clown’s presence? Make way for cute! I see a lot of h/c potential with this ship, like Cagney being a shoulder for Beppi to cry on (along with showing him that it was okay to cry in the first place) or Beppi being kindly to a weaker and smaller Cagney pre-Devil and meeting up again during or after their contracts are burned. I think Beppi cheering up Cagney with balloons (or vice versa with flowers!) would be super sweet. ;;
Beppi x Cuphead
“You make me laugh, little clown… make me moan too?” Thanks to this fanart and this brilliant animatic, I want to see more stuff with this ship. Do they try to out-troll each other? Do they keep pulling pranks one after another until it ends up with them making out (or further?)
Beppi x Djimmi
Gosh, those two would be so cute together! They’re both expert trolls and into fun and magic, but there’s enough differences between them to balance each other out: Djimmi can calm down Beppi when he gets too rowdy, and Beppi provides Djimmi with the freedom he needs after having the Devil as his master for so long. ;; I’m a sucker for the thought of Djimmi’s cats and Beppi’s balloon dogs playing together. Super bonus points if you manage to fit in a Bichon Frise in Beppi’s pet lineup though, I will die. Maybe that’s what he has in a Modern Day/All-Human AU? If Djimmi has literal Sphinx cats (aka the IRL bald kitties) I’d love to see what sweaters he’d make for them to protect their skin and keep them warm during colder days. :)
Beppi x Cagney x Blind Specter
Why have one happy-go-lucky prankster melt a grumpy tsundere flower’s icy heart when you can have two? I can see Beppi and Blind Specter being friends and agreeing to share Cagney and maybe have feelings for each other too. For some reason, I like the thought of Blind Specter being a flirt, and fascinated with Cagney and Beppi in particular since they’re fun to prank while also being so full of life, you know?
Dice x Beppi
Beppi is smarter than he lets on, and he’d make quite a presence in the casino… which of course inevitably attracts the attention of King Dice. While Dice gains the upper hand (or else Beppi wouldn’t owe any debts to the Devil), I’d like to think that Beppi holds his own against him for a while. Does he rub his victory in Beppi’s face? Does Beppi take mercy on him if he’s kicked out of being the Devil’s right-hand man post-True Ending?
Dice x Werner
I entirely blame this post for my craving of this ship. I’ll make an exception for my “no issuefic” request with this prompt: I imagine Werner is gay (or at least likes men, if you’d rather write him as bi/pan), but due to soldier’s pride and fear of vulnerability, he’s closeted as hell and in deep denial he has feelings for anyone. Does King Dice take advantage of this and seduce him in order to convince him to sign a contract with the Devil? All the glorious manipulation (and Werner’s tangled confused feelings of arousal) plz.
Dr. Kahl x Werner
Both of them have a talent for building mechanical inventions and have their own personal robot companion (Dr. Kahl has his infamous robot, Werner has his robot cat) and I imagine what begins as a friendly (or not) rivalry between an isolated old man scientist and a proud embittered veteran becomes something much more. :) Maybe they knew each other during the Great War? Do they both have some form of PTSD that only the two of them are equipped to help each other with? Is there mutual pining that lasts for ages and ages until they finally confess?
Fandom specific DNWs: Human!King Dice depicted as white/Caucasian, Evil!Beppi (exception: post-Bad Ending where everyone turns evil after the Cup Bros. hand over the contracts), Nazi!Werner/Werner supporting the Nazi party in any shape or form
Mother 1 | EarthBound Zero | EarthBound Beginnings
I love this game so much and I think it's criminal it hasn't received a remake yet. Still, it got an official release after all these years later, so it amounts to something, right? I'm going to be using the older translation names (ex. Loid, Podunk, Mt. Itoi) since that's what I'm most familiar with, but feel free to use whichever names you like.
Ninten x Loid
Those two are adorable! I love the idea of Ninten being protective of Loid and Loid developing a small crush on him as they go on their journey. How much does Ninten miss Loid after Teddy replaces him in the party? Is the reason he turned down Ana's confession (which I really appreciate is something you can do, especially since other NES games are like "But Thou Must!") is because he had feelings for Loid instead? Does Loid attempt to show Ninten sciencey goodies and things go out of hand, like in the school science room?
Teddy x Loid
Fucking hell, I love the thought of those two developing a mutual respect from each other. After having a negative first meeting together (Teddy dismissing Loid as weak, Loid being afraid and intimidated by Teddy), they teach each other what strength actually is and end up having an unexpected bond. I have a headcanon that Teddy actually got a hold of Loid through the phone saying his friends wanted him to come back, which was how Loid was able to find and save the gang on Mt. Itoi when they were attacked by the robot. Maybe some years later, Loid shows Teddy how much this weakling has grown...
Teddy x Ninten
Darnit, I still remember a long-lost fanart of those two and it won't leave my head. Ninten is the first person to learn Teddy isn't as mean and ruthless as he looks; what made him come to that conclusion while fighting him? I imagine during their time together, Ninten gave Teddy something worth fighting for beyond avenging his parents. Does Ninten come visit Teddy often at the Live House post-game?
Giegue x Ninten
What if Giegue decides to capture Ninten when he refuses to join him? What if he beats the hell out of everyone and Ninten pleads to take him in order to save his friends (which is the only way I can picture Ninten agreeing to Giegue’s offer)? With that, Giegue decides to put his plans on hold to have a little… fun with Ninten. Points if Loid and Ana save Ninten and ultimately stop Giegue with the melodies in the end!
Fandom specific DNWs: Religion bashing regarding Ana (it counts as part of my "no issuefic" DNW)
Mother 2: Gyiyg no Gyakushuu | EarthBound
Earthbound gives me a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings, and it's given me a gaming experience I'll never forget. ;; Weird enemies, a lot of laughs, memorable characters, horrific nightmare fuel... and of course, how utterly heartwarming the whole journey is. ;;
Ness x Picky Minch
I always felt so sorry for Picky and all he goes through, what with losing his brother to Giygas and all. Yet despite everything, he keeps his chin up and finds a lot of inspiration in Ness. Post-game h/c maybe?
Ness x Frank Fly
This ship could be the spiritual predecessor to Teddy/Ninten, in a way. One of the things I liked was that you could talk to Frank after battling him and he could heal your party. How does he hold up in Onett while Ness is gone? Is Ness an honorary Shark member? Do they get a chance to hang out more often post-game, like at Frank's new job as a burger guy?
Jeff Andonuts x Tony
All those years later and I can't get over how utterly sweet and adorable those two are. Tony's feelings are just so pure, and I always felt Jeff treasured that sort of companionship ("That Tony sure has a heart of gold..." he tells you if you read Tony's letter to him at the end of the game) I don't mind fluff of those two just... exploring around and falling in love and aaaaaaaaa. Maybe they take time for themselves after Tony is freed from his test tube beneath Stonehenge?
Jeff Andonuts x Ness
Those two I imagine having clashing personalities and getting into fights a lot (Ness being outgoing and talkative, while Jeff is more introverted and quiet), but they're both stubborn and once they embrace each other's differences, they become an unstoppable team of friends. How do they work together at Fourside? Hell, what sort of shenanigans happen with those two while they're there...?
Ness x Poo
Meanwhile, Ness and Poo are opposites in a more subtle and less explosive way. Ness is curious about what life is like as a prince and what Mu training is, and Poo finds Ness's happy-go-lucky personality and optimism infectious. Do they train each other? Does it blossom into love?
Jeff Andonuts x Ness x Poo
Apply the two dynamics above, and bingo! You got the boys all together. :) I want to see them grow up and become happy in a world free of Giygas. ;; While they’ve no doubt been through some terrifying shit that’ll likely stay with them in their later years (see: willing to sacrifice themselves as robots knowing the risk they could never come back and see their friends and family again, Mother. Fucking. Giygas.), they discovered many incredible things and had rich experiences throughout travelling the world that they wouldn’t give up for anything, and if anyone knows this journey best, the one filled with smiles and tears… So please tell me how all of them keep in touch with each other, and being there for each other throughout their lives: Ness getting help with his guilt regarding Pokey, the boys helping Paula deal with the stress from the paparazzi and her memories of the Happy Happy cult, Jeff having a cheerleader throughout college and letting him vent when things between him and Dr. Andonuts aren’t going well, and Poo being assured that his ancestors will be proud of him and he’ll do a great job when it’s time for him to be king. ;;
Fandom specific DNWs: Jeff being mean to/disliking/annoyed by Tony.
Undertale
This game came out in late 2015 and I'm still obsessed with it. Figures. It's just that powerful, poignant, funny, dark, heartbreaking, and empowering of a game. And since one of its biggest influences was the Mother series, it's catering to my tastes right there. :P
Important: Please use they/them pronouns for Frisk, Chara, Monster Kid, and Napstablook!
Papyrus x Asriel
Flowey and Papyrus's friendship is fascinating to me. Not only does Papyrus create the Flowey Fan Club (in which he's the only member), Flowey admits Papyrus took him the longest to get bored of. But I rarely see fics where Papyrus and Asriel interact post-True Pacifist, which is a shame because those two are a goldmine of potential due to their "friendship" while Asriel was still Flowey. Maybe Papyrus feels Flowey was the one person who listens to him and takes him seriously (before he got to befriend Frisk and Undyne)? I always thought it would be sweet if Asriel confessed everything he had done to him as Flowey and Papyrus forgave him, or if Papyrus was one of the biggest driving factors to Flowey having a soul again. I can also see him being a cheerleader for Asriel as he adjusts to his original body, as well as helping him deal with the weird moodswings that come from being able to feel love and compassion again. :o
I don't want anything too "dark" in their relationship. Acknowledgment of Flowey's deeds is fine as long as it's not too severe (canon-typical manipulation and murders are fine, but nothing from my dislikes), but please don't have post-True Pacifist!Flowsriel be cruel or abusive (and I mean Evil Sadistic Asshole levels, not "I'm a person and I can be mean and fuck up sometimes" levels). I want to see him heal and grow as a person, not be a reenactment of Flowey at his worst. Besides, I can't stand Papyrus being tortured. D: Feel free to get around the age gap by making Asriel come back as an adult when he regains his soul. I bet that’d be quite a surprise for the main cast, seeing another Boss Monster aside from Toriel and Asgore. :o
Smut option: When Asriel gets his body back, he’s never able to be good at fire magic. But he does retain his plant powers from his time as Flowey, meaning he can still summon vines...
Burgerpants x Mettaton
I find this ship humorous and fun. :) I think while Mettaton teases him and can get vicious at times (see: making an entire CD full of songs about how much Burgerpants sucks at his job), he does genuinely care about him in his own way and stands up for his employee if anyone is being nasty or abusive to him. What would it be like for Burgerpants in the King Mettaton timelines? Would he be trapped as his permanent servant? How would Burgerpants react if Mettaton was killed on one of the Neutral Routes? Would he be in denial? Hell, what if in some twist of fate, Burgerpants has to comfort his boss when he’s having a bad day? Feel free to play with the Boss/Employee power dynamics and humiliation aspects of this ship (especially the canon detail from the patch update about Mettaton dressing Burgerpants up in various outfits for his own amusement) ("NEVER let hot people think you care. That's how they GET you." Implying Burgerpants still thinks his boss is attractive. :P), as long as it doesn't get TOO dark. :)
Asgore x Gaster
Yet another pairing fandom has completely won me over. I love the idea of Gaster being close to Asgore, and offering him comfort and solace post-Asriel & Chara’s deaths and Toriel’s banishment. I imagine him being extremely motivated to relieve Asgore of the guilt and burden that comes from collecting human souls and working himself past his limits to find a more ethical way to break past the barrier… only to fall into the Core and be wiped out of existence, oops. <.<;;; Does Asgore secretly harbor feelings for the Head Scientist that he is torn about confessing in case his ex-wife comes back and fix things between them? Does Gaster try to contact Asgore across timelines, via the flowers in his garden or his dreams? In a post-True Pacifist scenario, does Gaster come back (whether through his own devices or being saved) and reunite with him? Does Asgore still not remember and Gaster tries to jog his memories? Hell, is this the period where the two of them fall in love? The character bashing rule applies here: please don’t demonize Toriel or have her want to get back with Asgore! If Asgore and Gaster get together, I want her to be happy and move on.
Asriel x Flowey
Because I'm a horrible person and would totally get off to this kind of selfcest. :P Regular Adult Asriel or Hyperdeath or even the Absolute God of Hyperdeath is good here, and so is Omega Flowey! I just want the many psyches of Asriel Dreemurr to be pitted against each other and munch popcorn while I'm at it. XD That said, please make it selfcest. No cheating and making Flowey a wholly separate entity unrelated to Asriel. :P
Mettaton x Papyrus x Sans
I blame fandom and the two endings where the skelebros serve as agents for King Mettaton. :P I love the idea of Mettaton falling for both skeletons and loving them in different ways; he and Papyrus would build each other up and admire each other, while Sans provides witty banter and keeps him grounded. I love the idea of a post-True Pacifist scenario where Mettaton makes it big on the surface and starts becoming more curious about the skelebros when Sans takes Papyrus to all his concerts. I can see Sans being protective at first (not overprotective “THE BONE ZONE IS CLOSED” levels, just cautious due to said MTT endings) when Papyrus starts dating MTT, but after a while realizes he isn’t that bad, and might just end up falling for the sexy robot in spite of himself… Just flood me with sexy rectangles and bishounen, spaghetti, puzzles, hot dogs (or cats), Sans trying to rip off MTT with his wares, and terrible TERRIBLE puns, and I’m golden. 8)
Fandom specific DNWs: Dubcon/Noncon in post-True Pacifist, Evil!Chara, Innocent Angel!Chara, Stupid!Papyrus, Creepy Stalker!Asgore, Asriel and Frisk and Chara referred to in and out of narrative as siblings instead of friends.
Revolutionary Girl Utena
I can't believe this series is at its 20th anniversary. ;; Let's see, we got complex characters, gorgeous animation
Touga x Saionji
Those two are fucking trash and I love them. I loved their interactions throughout the series and the fact I ended up caring about two garbage characters more than I expected. Poor Saionji struggling to catch up with Touga while at the same time is the best person to call him out on his bullshit, and Touga, well... being Touga (and whatever the hell he's defining "friendship" as this time), and that even for those two, there's hope for a healthier future at the end of the series. Exploration of them from the "After the Revolution" manga would be interesting and fun. Oh, and Nanami sassing both of them out? Yes plz A++
Fandom specific DNWs: Reciprocated!Touga x Utena (exception: Past!Touga x Utena from the movie), Tatsuya x Wakaba, Juri x Any guy except Miki
Pokemon
Yep, one of my oldest fandoms, still going strong after twenty years! Pokemon Sun & Moon is so bright and hopeful, like the rays of sunshine over the Alola region. :)
Morty x Eusine
Speaking of those two, how did they meet? How did they become friends? Was it their mutual love of legendary Pokemon and folklore? Due to their ties to their respective Pokemon (Morty to Ho-Oh, Eusine to Suicune), I think they understand each other in regards to trying to reach something that is supposedly unobtainable. Maybe it isn't so much the Pokemon as it is something else connected to their past? (Eusine associating Suicune with memories of his grandfather, Morty and the expectations placed on him after the ancient events of the Burned Tower) Both their miniarcs in HG/SS seemed to involve letting go of their respective Legendary and finding a new dream (ex. Eusine congratulating the player after they catch or defeat Suicune, and Morty's dialogue when you get his number at Bellchime Trail: "The legendary Pokemon did not choose me... But that does not mean that I have lost out on my future. I will continue my training until I discover a new future for me.") Do they decide to look for that new future together? Or, Eugene Fitzherbert-style, discover that each other IS part of their new dream. Hell, I'm just going to quote from Tangled because it sums up how I see Morty and Eusine's relationship:
"I've been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?"
"It will be."
"And what if it is? What do I do then?"
"Well, that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream."
Hau x Gladion
One boy is a cold loner on the run. The other is a future kahuna Shounen Spirit. TOGETHER THEY FIGHT CRIME. In all seriousness, I really love how well Gladion and Hau's personalities complement each other. Hau helps Gladion loosen up and have fun, Gladion urges Hau to take himself more seriously and work hard. They're yin-and-yang in all the right ways, and nourish each other's strengths. :) Also malasada dates ftw~ I'm fine with either Sun/Moon or Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon canons.
Fandom specific DNWs: Eusine acting in any way like his characterization in the main anime (basically shallow, nasty, hypocritical, and flanderized regarding his obsession with Suicune)
Crossover Fandom
No need for introduction regarding crossovers. If you’re familiar with any of my requested fandoms, have at it. ;D
Bendy (Bendy and the Ink Machine) x Cuphead (Cuphead)
There’s so many directions you could do with this ship! They could be friendly rivals or enemies. Maybe Cuphead tries to save him from the machine and being trapped in the studio. Maybe Bendy is attracted to Cuphead and keeps inviting him to become part of the ink with him, and the latter refuses his advances. Would Bendy be possessive over Cuphead and want to keep him to himself forever? Inkplay and ink tentacles encouraged.
King Dice (Cuphead) x The Devil (Cuphead) x Akio Ohtori (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
Charismatic smarmy manifestations of Lucifer unite! Nothing too complex here, I just want to see the three of them hanging out, whether it’s in the casino or the hood of Akio’s car. What sort of things would they be scheming together?
Cagney (Cuphead) x Asriel (Undertale)
I’ve seen Cagney/Flowey and that’s all well and good, but what happens when Flowey gains a soul of his own and transforms into his real form? How would Cagney react to that? Feel free to choose between Hyperdeath or regular adult Asriel. :)
Cagney (Cuphead) x Garry (Ib)
So many possibilities! Is Cagney one of Guertena’s creations who’s fascinated by Garry? Does a human version of Cagney end up trapped in the painting world with Garry and they bond as they look after Ib (*coughsurrogateparentscough*)? How does Cagney react in some of the darker routes where Mary plucks all the petals off Garry’s rose? If in Cuphead universe, would Garry be a blue or lilac rose? Also, the idea of Cagney and Garry being protective of each other is adorable as hell.
Asriel (Undertale) x Ralsei (Deltarune)
What’s better than one adorable goat? Two adorable goats! There’s also the possibility that Ralsei could be a version of Asriel in a parallel universe, so yay, possible selfcest! What if Flowey found his way to the Dark World and met the lonely waiting Ralsei? What if Hyperdeath captured Ralsei and decided to seduce him? Does Ralsei’s unrelenting kindness hit a cord with Asriel?
Mettaton (Undertale) x Rouxls Kaard (Deltarune)
Those two are so alike, yet so different the deeper you look into their characters. What would happen if King Spade was the king of the Underground instead of the Dreemurrs? Would Rouxls Kaard catch MTT on TV while babysitting Lancer? Does he attend one of his concerts and end up catching the robot’s attention? How about an AU where Mettaton lived in the Dark World? How would he and Rouxls run into each other then?
Fandom specific DNWs: Bendy x Alice, unrequested crossovers (ex. adding old*sk00l Disney characters to the Cuphead requests. Subtle unnamed cameos are fine), Human!King Dice depicted as white/Caucasian, Evil!Ralsei
Once again, thank you so much, and happy slashing!
