tobios: (oioi)
 Hi there, friend!

If you're reading this, that means you've gotten me for the summer exchange! (I promise that I won't be too difficult to work with, hehe.) I'm generally a fan of all sorts of ships in this fandom and I hope we can be friends after if we aren't already. This year, I'm going to try to stick with general themes for things I'd like ~love~ to read as opposed to fixing them to ships. (So that means mixing and matching ships you see fit to the themes I've provided!! Please don't attempt all of them!) So, without further ado, here we go!


For reference, here are the ships I've requested - you can feel free to either keep this gen or romo (but honestly romantic bokuroo is my bread and butter)
  1. Bokuto Koutarou/Kuroo Tetsurou (NO BRO STUFF)
  2. Matsukawa Issei/Oikawa Tooru
  3. Kuroo Tetsurou/Yaku Morisuke
  4. Sugawara Koushi/Kageyama Tobio
  5. Hanamaki Takahiro/Matsukawa Issei
  6. Oikawa Tooru/Semi Eita

pikachu mascots in yokohama (for reference, this is what I'm talking about)
I requested this last time around too (and no one picked it up HAHA) but this is something I'd really love to see. It can be an AU where they're meeting for the first time, or a post-canon where they've reunited through their mutual side jobs as dancing pikachu mascots. And by all means, don't restrict them to being in costumes all the time! I just want it to play some sort of role in this fic, because at the core of it, seeing a more slice of life / city life (I'M ALWAYS A SUCKER FOR BOTH) is what's important. But please help me live out my dreams. (Also, if you decide to keep it in-canon, feel free to use the corresponding moniker "tikachu" instead of pikachu)

japanese mythology au
Hey so I'm a sucker for anything with gods and demons and whatnot and I'd really love anything that might be a reworked version of a folk tale or an urban legend! I don't really have any other parameters for this, except maybe no western mythology, please! So get wild with your youkai AUs! Also, bonus for historical elements but it's really up to you. Here's an example of what someone drew for me the first time I entered this exchange (and tbh it's just an excuse to show off this comic because like. i love crying about it)


magical realism au

I'll let you go wild with this one, too! This one might be a hard one to tackle though (because god knows it's hard for me to write usually) but I'd love to see this implemented somehow - where the surreal might pervade ever so slightly into a mundane setting (and it's not considered out of the ordinary or anything). Bonus if it's set in like, the 90's! in the countryside/city somewhere! ~With cool 90's aesthetics~


funny ass stickers
A love story told through stickers, somehow. Like the cute kind with lil pop up animals on them. Like accidentally putting one on X character's butt. But in all seriousness, I'd love for this to be set in-canon, with their high schools in the backdrop! (This might be hard for pairings that don't go to school together). Passing notes, friends-to-lovers, vending machine hangouts, hiding spots, urban legends. This is really the stuff I love, love, love. Slice of life, some emotional swelling. THE GOOD LIFE


BTS - RUN video aesthetic au (for reference, here is the video)
Hi all! So I'm not like super huge on K-pop, but one video I really, really like is this particular MV by BTS. I love the filmy aesthetic, the string lights, the house of cards, the tiny little instances of magical realism (with that train car totally being bigger on the inside). I would love some kind of fic utilizing this aesthetic (and it doesn't necessarily have to follow the storyline of the MV). Give me runaway boys! Running around! Tomfoolery! A side of emotional flux! 


***sunday morning sensual times***

[Note: I only want this one to apply to the first, second, and fifth pairings!!! bokuroo and matsuoi and matsuhana] Ok I know I said that I didn't want pairings explicitly tied to any of these themes, but this one is my only exception. Give me death in the form of lazy morning sex/enjoying each other's company. Post-canon, set in their new apartment somewhere under fresh seats!!!! easy fun times!!! ahhhh!!!


Anyway, feel free to pick any of these themes, or mash them together into something you see fit! However, if you really can't work with any of the themes up there, or want to add a little somethin' somethin', here are some other things I'm really a big fan of:
  • anything slice of life related, mundane settings, hiding places, weeds growing on the riverbank
  • ✨reincarnation ✨
  • ghosts. dang i love ghosts
  • day trips! road trips! traveling! 
  • love notes, letters, post-its, lists
  • meet-cutes
  • coming of age
  • SLOW BUILD
  • unresolved sexual tension
  • really soft, sensual times (like. makin out on the floor of a new apartment or something. yeah)
  • mecha/giant robots (and not pac rim even tho i love pac rim - this would be really hard tbh because world building and all that)
  • post-canon set in tokyo (particularly sangenjaya - in fact, the more specific you can get about city locations, the cooler ;_; but of course this isn't a requirement)
  • pets (like one of them having a dog. or a gerbil. or something)
  • BASEBALL AU (like really baseball is my favorite sport)
  • sunglasses. clubmaster ray bans sunglasses. (this isn't even really a prompt i just love these lmao)
  • friends-to-lovers, reading body language, that weird nebulous place between being friends and lovers

As for the things I'm not looking for, just be sure not to include the following (◕︿◕✿) 
  • underage sex, non-con or dub-con situations
  • A/B/O dynamics or omegaverse
  • over-westernization (ex. like bokuroo going to olive garden or something)
  • cancer sick fics
  • sexual harassment on public transportation 
  • CALLING OIKAWA TOORU TRASH  or "trashikawa" IN OIKAWA RELATED WORKS
  • "bromance" stuff
  • explicit porn without plot / fluff without plot
  • coffee shop AUs
  • lovechild / mpreg AUs
  • marriage AUs
  • merman AUs
  • cheating fics
  • office setting AUs (not that i actually dislike this honestly but i work in an office all day haha)
  • (if you have any other doubts about things I don't like, feel free to hit me up anon style on tumblr!!)

ANYWAY!! Anyhoo...thank you so much for reading this and taking all of this stuff into account. I fully believe in you, and I'll love anything you end up writing. I'm really just a small a helpless bean that will probably flail into your inbox afterwards. You're amazing and I hope we can be friends after (if we already aren't)! - justine




 
tobios: (tsukki)

If you are reading this, that means you’ve received my request for HQ!! Winter Hols. I’ve never written a letter requesting anything before, so I apologize if this comes out jumbled or imprecise. Please know that I will probably love anything you make anyway, so don’t feel too pressured to adhere to my wishlist completely. Anyhoo! Here we go.


kageken (kageyama tobio/kozume kenma), gen.

I think I requested this pairing before, and I hope it’s not too hard to write! (If it is, and you choose not to pick this one up, I will totally understand). Anything with slice-of-life will really make my day (like really mundane topics like their juice box habits or them being awkward at a winter hot pot gathering or something). I’m just looking for some good, light-hearted fun here, with possible romo implications if you’d like. (Bonus points for Hinata, if you’d like to include him, or make this kagehinaken!)


iwaoi (iwaizumi hajime/oikawa tooru), teen and up (with little to no smut, and if there is smut, make it INTENSE. THE EMOTIONAL KIND. Destroy me!!)

To be honest, I'm not very picky about this selection because iwaoi is my lifeforce and my goddanged OTP so I'll probably love whatever you come up with. In-canon verse and AUs are both equally fine with me, but try to keep them childhood friends if you do go with the latter, hehe. Also, I don't really want to see anything about sports injuries (since I've seen a lot of that), but don't stray away from angst altogether if you think you can make it creative!


iwakage (iwaizumi hajime/kageyama tobio), gen (or hints of romo - it's totally up to you!)

Anything with them as twenty-somethings just trying to navigate the messiness of adulthood together, as friends or more. Are they roommates in Shibuya? Busboys at a cat cafe? Pikachu mascots in Yokohama? (This is my favorite option, and if you haven't seen the pictures, here you are. It's a real thing.) I'd like it if you could keep this one in-canon (though it isn't necessary) and to keep Oikawa Tooru as an important part of Iwaizumi's life (so if you can, no overt hate of Oikawa, or excluding him completely).


(If you don't want to do in canon, I'd like to see something along the lines of platonic soulmate stuff, too. Like where they're bonded throughout history but not romantically involved any of those times.)


kenhina (kozume kenma/hinata shouyou), gen (or slight romo if you want).

Again, slice of life would be an awesome option for this pairing. Give me the doldrums of winter and sweaters and steaming mugs of milk tea. Anything with that sort of vibe. (I'd also like to see a platonic soulmates fic for this pairing too because I think that would be super intriguing to read).


kagehina (kageyama tobio/hinata shouyou), teen (and no smut, if you can! Unless they're aged up to their twenties - then that's fine!)

This here is probably the least meticulous of any of my requests. You're honestly free to do whatever you want here.


other stuff to consider...

if you don't like any of my suggestions up above, feel free to match any of the listed pairings to these other fave scenarios of mine:

  • Anything with reincarnation. (It is my endgame fave trope in fic hands down, and bonus points if it isn't iwaoi or something I haven't seen before).
  • Letter writing and note passing. Characters writing to each other as pen pals? Confessions and love letters? Sign me the fuck up.
  • Mementos. Anything with sentimental little keepsakes.
  • Historical era AUs - Heian? Taisho? Right when Japan first re-opens up to the world with Commodore Matthew Perry in the 1800's? Yes please!!
  • Anything using Tokyo (or another large city) as a backdrop. Anything using the friends-to-lovers trope in this setting will probably kill me. (go ahead and kill me tho)
  • Japanese mythology, folklore adaptations.
  • I love angst. Give me emotions, heaps of them, if you find it appropriate. I also don't mind major character deaths (but just tag it for others!)
  • String lights. Stars. Night scenes.
  • Ghosts. Dang I love ghosts

As for the things I don't like, just be sure not to include the following:

  • underage sexytimes, BDSM, non-con or dub-con situations
  • over-westernization (ex. like kagehina going to olive garden or something)
  • cancer sick fics
  • physical abuse
  • sexual harassment on public transportation
  • CALLING OIKAWA TOORU TRASH IN IWAOI/OIKAWA RELATED WORKS

Anyhoo...thank you so much for reading this and taking all of this stuff into account. I fully believe in you, and I'll love anything you end up writing or drawing. You're amazing and I hope we can be friends after (if we already aren't)!
