The Same Watari As Always

A thousand apologies. I looked at the clock, realized I had about fifteen minutes to sign up, and ran. Here are more things and prompts and suchlike. I am happy with pretty much any rating, and I don't mind characters going through rough things on their way to a happy (or happy for now) ending. I do love art, I am just not always great at asking for it. (For OMFD or YnM, era-appropriate styles would be fun.)

Feel free to read my other letters, etc for inspiration if you're so inclined, or just go nuts with your own ideas. I want you to create what inspires you!
 

Yuri!!! on Ice!

Reader, I love them. Would love to have something silly and spooky season related, but I am remarkably easy to please with these two. They are so teenage and so extra, and you just know that they'll stay faintly ludicrous even as they mature. Delightful.

As I said for Fic in a Box, if you read that letter: Yuri is such a live wire, and Otabek is as over the top as Yuri is, just in a much quieter way. They compliment each other so well. They're not fake at all, and they just own what they love and who they are. 

I love so much about the figure skating world in YoI, and costumes, music choices, and the constantly-connected world these characters live in is endlessly fascinating to me. I like that Yuri and Otabek come from different worlds in a lot of ways (countries, backgrounds) and exactly the same world in others (art, skating, fighting like hell). I'm happy to see any/all other cast members as they suit the story, but don't feel obligated to put them in.  AUs are also welcome; I prefer fantastical settings to mundane ones. I really love stories where Otabek goes to Russia or Yuri to Kazakhstan (I can never get enough of Otabek meeting Potya), but I also like them just hanging out at competitions or visiting Hatsetsu together (Yuri's being half-adopted by the Hatsetsu crowd makes me so happy). I love the nice clean look of the canon art style but I like more complicated and fanciful interpretations as well.

Have some prompts! Yuri and Otabek visit a haunted house (the fun commercial kind or the actually haunted kind). Otabek helps Yuri choose music, both of them working together on costumes/programs/choreography. Visiting each other. Snowed in (I will never be tired of snowed in/cuddling in a cabin together). Future fic at the end of either/both of their careers, when they have to decide what to do next.

DNWs: Omegaverse, non-con, no pregnancy of any kind, no sexual assault/abuse, no explicit sex with these characters under their canon ages. No trans interpretations of these characters, please,

I said in the assignment that I'm looking forward to all the ridiculous nonsense in the trailer, and that is true, but I would also be happy if you decided to not worry about writing for an ongoing canon and confined yourself to backstory or Season 1 or canon divergence. I don't mind modern AUs but I prefer there to be something fun going on, a nice murder or something. At least a light theft.

I adore Olu and Jim's relationship; I am a sucker for steadfast, loyal types, and they are both hot, and they also balance each other really well (a theme, I guess). I love that Olu just accepted Jim no questions asked, but he's not above teasing them, and Jim lets Olu in enough to tease them, which...right in the feels. I'd also love a character study of Olu, or backstory, or some of his POV post-S1. He seems to be doing the 'only sane man' thing in the trailers...I'm curious if that holds when he gets a chance to see Jim again.

Frenchie is actually my favorite in the whole cast, I think. I like the hints we have of his history and his ability to bluff his way into what he wants. (Did he bluff his way onto the Revenge? Why would anyone want to bluff their way onto the ship? I have questions!) He's also, let me be shallow, just...spectacularly good looking, his S2 look is amazing.

Izzy/Roach! Izzy needs to take a long, hard look at what is best for him, and what is best for him is a half-insane cook who likes to be mean to him. I don't make the rules. What I like about this ship is Roach's absolute do-not-give-a-fuck attitude jarring Izzy out of his set ideas of How Things Should Be. 

Prompts: Olu/Jim or Roach/Izzy getting stranded together; shipwreck, deserted island, blown too far north and stranded in this bizarre 'snow' stuff. A literal phantom limb (Izzy's or someone else's) haunting the cast. Roach gets injured and has to teach Izzy how to cook. Jim learns more about Olu's past. Frenchie deciding it's time to leave the service, or signing up for the Revenge. Frenchie running a new scam.

Other background/side relationships are welcome aside from DNWs. I would prefer Lucius to be alive unless you're doing some kind of ghost story.

DNW: Steddyhands, rape/non-con, omegaverse, pregnancy of any kind. No sexual situations with characters under their mid-teens.

Tricks allowed for extra gifts

Watari is whatever the opposite of a moral center is. Love that.

Friends, Watari is absolutely unhinged. He experiments on his coworkers for fun. He can bring his (absolutely shitty) sketches to life. He has a harrowing backstory that he never, ever, ever refers to. His lab is full of birds. Everything you learn about him is more bizarre than what came before. Perfect, A+, zero notes.

As I said in last year's Trick or Treat:  have many, many questions about his Mysterious Past that will never be answered. I also ship him with Tatsumi (and don't mind the idea of him being FWB with Tsuzuki), and really enjoy his relationship with Hisoka.

 I love his powers! I was always disappointed we didn't get more of them in canon. I also love his crazy experiments and how often they go horribly, delightfully wrong. Any excuse to have him pull shit out of a drawing is A++ all right with me. I'm fine with AUs though I'd prefer them to stay supernatural; I'd particularly love some canon divergence--maybe with Watari dying at a different age, or something set long before canon when he was still alive?

Prompts: Honestly, what was 60s Watari like. WHAT. Caring is experimenting on your coworkers. Or yourself. What if Watari actually manages to break into Mother? Someone had to put the shikigami on the Internet, and, like...who else in Meifu would do it? Tell me how that happened.

I am an absolute sucker for that black sleeveless turtleneck. He's gorgeous (though I prefer the original art style, not the mangaka's newer stuff).

DNW: Permanent character death (that is, it's fine that Watari is dead, but I don't want him erased from the universe or anything like that), omegaverse. I am okay with darker treats for this one, though, because ::waves at canon::

• What else does Thoth have sitting around that Setne might want?
• Or is Thoth setting up a trap to try to bring Setne back to judgement?
• Maybe both?
• Or maybe Setne comes to hide out at Thoth's for reasons.
• And of course precanon stuff - the initial theft, what kind of relationship they had before Setne died, if Thoth intervened - or refused to - when Setne died, if they ever worked together.
• (Did they have a thing? I so want them to have had a thing.)
