The Morphin' Grid

Dear Yuletide writer,

Likes: Found family, families of choice, team as family, slice of life, cuddling, friendship, crossovers. Please also feel free to write anything that is a character study or worldbuilding. I'm okay with slash, femslash, het, or poly.

Dislikes: mentor/student pairings, non-con, char bashing. For Star Wars prompts please no background Reylo.

I ticked the my gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags, so please do not feel pressured to include all of the characters I have listed.

Treats are welcome.

( Fandom and Character Specific Prompts )

Hi! Thank you so much for writing for me. I will love whatever you write for me. I love fluff, I love angst, I love curtain fic, I love backstory, I love future fic, and I love ridiculous AUs and crossovers. I love continuity references, porn, genfic, apocalyptic stuff, alternate povs, and slice of life fic. I super super super love worldbuilding, but it is totally not necessary. I love het, gen, slash, femslash, whatever! I am also ridiculously fond of the 5+1 format for some reason.

Some (most) of these requests are re-used from previous years, and I got fic about them and they were, frankly amazing. I just... really really love these ideas and will frankly read a million versions of them, so please do not take it as a knock on the excellent fics I've previously received.

General DNW: omegaverse, mpreg, sexual assault (with one exception), infidelity

Clair Obscur (Clea Dessendre)

General game spoilers, cut just in case we didn't match on this fandom

Ok so I am basically obsessed with Clea as the eldest child having to pick up all the slack while her family is busy imploding. How is she managing to handle it all? What's going on with the war between artists and writers while they're all in the painting? How does she start reconciling with them post-game? (I VERY much prefer the Verso ending so like, if you're going to go with the Maelle ending I'm on team Clea physically drags her out). Why does Clea hate her painted counterpart so much? What is her issue with Simon? Is Simon like, her mother's RPF about her and the nice boy from down the street, while she's actually a big lesbian and is pissed that her mother has written this other version that takes away everything she is?

Also if you want to write some combination of Clea/Lune/Sciel I am so here for it.

Fantasy Life (Worldbuilding)
I love the first Fantasy Life game to a ridiculous degree and have since like, 2015 but there are things I would love to have expanded on! Is Todd Divinus *truly* a god, or is what he said to Noelia about him just being the oversized husband correct? How were Noelia and Yuelia's childhoods? Did they watch any of the other trees?

Since Pierre and Butch really appeared to be the only ones who DIDN'T have some sort of life, how big actually was the crisis? What was life like while the player character, Yuelia, and Robin were off on Lunares? At what age are people expected to start choosing a life? It's implied that the player is late going into it, but they're still so young! What was the structure of Port Puerto like BEFORE Ahab and Elise got together? More slice of life stuff for anything? Please note that I did not play nor do I care about FLO and also I played the version where Yuelia's butterfly form is *butterfly* not Flutter.

Fantasy Life i (Worldbuilding, Yuelia, Laura, Paulette)
Worldbuilding: Ok if hypothetically you happened to have played the first game and want to try to reconcile the worldbuilding between the two games, I would love you forever, but obviously that is not necessary. (Please note I did not play nor do I care about FLO) (Some questions in case you did: Why are there suddenly more people than Divinus and Noelia on Lunares? Is Aeshan Noelia and Robin's kid? Have people already forgotten about the wishes providing stability? Why the sudden "turning into imps" if you don't have a life? Is Auntie Anne related to Pam?)

If you did not play the first game, please for the love of everything make the time shit make sense. If the reset is a natural part, why did ALL of Reveria not get reset, not just Mysteria? How did Mysteria just miraculously reappear and nobody knew? Is it a stable time loop? Did we just completely change the past? Since we destroyed the cog is the world now completely doomed? Why does the cog exist in the first place? Why were people so afraid of Aeshan when like, literal goddess walking through the world is the backstory (Celestia, Yuelia). Or tell me about the world left behind with the strangelings! How do Castele and Port Puerto and Al Maajik all cope with losing their rulers/heirs? And guild masters vanishing!

Yuelia: What was she doing for the last 1000 years? How long was she stuck in her butterfly form? Was there a reason she came to Mysteria after it was destroyed instead of spending time in her beloved Castele which seems to still be standing? (I also played the version of the first game where Yuelia's butterfly form was named Butterfly, not Flutter, so please go with that.)

Paulette: .... Yeah ok so basically I ship Paulette/Kikyo so much. How is Paulette dealing with Kikyo heading to the future island and not being around to be her only rival? Has she created a multi-piece exhibit dedicated to their love rivalry? Do they ever get to officially be together? Does Paulette start a fan club for Kikyo like the Letties?

Laura: Really, I considered a lot of different people from the first game and ended up going with Laura because hi, crown princess of Castele. How is she coping with being in the future and giving up her responsibilities? Does she miss her parents? Want to go home? Just wants so badly to continue her adventures and so many that she's cool with being in the future forever?

(but listen if you want to write about Carla and have her NOT be fridged because I'm SUPER SALTY about that retcon the shrine maidens in the first game were NOT KILLED FUCK YOU I'm not complaining)

Hades 2 (Hecate)

Massive spoilers for the epilogue I am not kidding

OK SO. Please tell me ALL ABOUT the original timeline! What happened when baby!Melinoe washed up on the banks of the Cocytus and was found by Selene? How did her original training go? Does she feel about Selene the way Melinoe feels about her?

How did she first react upon being back in time? How did she manage however many thousands of years she had waiting for this tragedy to reoccur and yet knowing she can't do anything about it because well, time is fucked up. How DID going back in time turn her into a titaness?

How does she feel about the ending of the game and Melinoe NOT going back to the house? About Zagreus's decision to spare Chronos? (Like, yes, I know we got some of that but give me more) Is she ever going to have that conversation with Hades and Persephone like Melinoe hinted to them? How does she truly feel about having raised a version of herself? (And look I have mixed feelings about the ending, I think thematically based on the first game it absolutely worked but I am SLIGHTLY salty about what should have been Melinoe's game being hijacked by Zagreus's issues even though I love Zagreus to a RIDICULOUS degree. So I will also take a conversation between Hecate and Zagreus about it)

And also is she actually fucking Odysseus because I'm cool with that too.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (any)
I am happy with any characters together or in any combination or whatever! Prompts are mostly for individuals but basically just have fun with it.

Noah: So he hasn't really gotten to see his mother and eldest sister in forever! Did they contact him at all before this? Or, to go with post canon stuff, how does he cope after Majima has gone back to Japan and presumably he's back on Rich Island? Does he end up writing a semi-autobiographical comic or something (since we know he a) likes comics and b) is a good artist) about his adventures with a yakuza turned pirate captain? (Do other people who Majima has helped write into the comic or show up at signings?)

Naomi: Ok so she CLEARLY has some unresolved anger issues about her dad fucking off with her younger siblings. I'd love fic about her and her mom in the early days of that. Or how she got involved in Madlantis! (I am absolutely not opposed to Queen Michelle/Naomi or Naomi/some of the pirates we meet. Claire is right there!!!) How does she adjust to the new normal after the game?

Moana: Similar to Naomi and Noah, I want to know Moana's feelings about being dragged to Rich Island and losing half her family in the process, not to mention having to be the one to step up while Jason is busy being an alcoholic. How does she handle the bar on her own? What even is her life like? Does she end up getting a grand adventure?

Claire: Ok you can not give me a badass lady pirate and not want her adventures. (Did she hook up with Naomi at some point in Madlantis?) What were her adventures like before she ended up on the beach and was saved by Damian? Does Damian get super into everything in the shallowish way he did for Japanese culture? Does he end up bonding with Gu-san, Broto-Op, and Mr. Six over their new fandom?

Goro the tiger cat: How did he end up on Rich Island? What is his point of view for all these adventures? Was that REALLY his (her?) voice we heard at the end of that substory? Does he continue to stay with Noah when he's fully grown?

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always (any)
Billy: Okay, but this was the ultimate in nice job breaking it hero. How did Billy handle it initially? What prompted his search for Zordon anyway? (feel free to combine with Cosmic Fury if you want). How did he form his company? Do people in his company really NOT know? (Like if you want to write 5 employees Billy thought failed to notice there's a secret base under the company and one who actually doesn't know with the one being Bulk or Skull I would laugh forever) Is he Minh's dad? How did the other rangers treat him? Does anyone actually blame him (besides Minh?)

Zack: How did he get involved in politics? How was the early days of living with Minh? What is he doing for work now?

Billy/Zack as Minh's two dads??? Does she call them out more on their no rangering as a teenager? Why are they so opposed anyway? Just because of Trini's death, or did she want her daughter to have the teenagerhood that she was denied?

Billy, Zack, and Minh: How did the conversation go? Either after they told her the truth right after Trini died, or the "we need to tell her everything" conversation at the end.

Minh: Time travel AU where Rita does manage to open the portal and Minh meets the teenage version of her mom? Her adapting to living with Zack? Does she have a conversation with Kat about revenge and the things Rita has done before? Does she get to meet any other teams? How DOES being a teen superhero work in the age of social media?

Aisha: How did she get involved with SPA? How did she reunite with the team in the first place after her exit from the show? Is she still in a poly relationship with some combination of Adam/Rocky/Tanya/Kim and if so how is she coping with two of them being turned into toys and the separation with them back on earth? What does she think about being the "senior" yellow now? Does she get to take Minh out for bonding?

Power Rangers Cosmic Fury (any)
First, my only fandom specific DNW - Javi/Amelia. Please do not write it, imply it, background pairing, whatever.

Worldbuilding: Anyway. I love how much this show just *feels* like a part of the PR shared universe without shoehorning things in. So for worldbuilding, tell me more about growing up always knowing about power rangers! The creation of the hotline! All the lore about the morphin masters ever! And how these dino powers possibly affect other dino powers! What does no longer evil Zedd think about his counterpart actually conquering the galaxy? What happened to the other teams while the Cosmic Fury team was off on the other side of the galaxy? How did they all end up in Zedd jail? Did any of the civilian friends of the Rangers get involved in the rebellion? What happened with Zayto and Zordon after Zayto became a Morphin Master? Does the Garcia family ever find out everything?

Billy: How did he and Mick end up on their road trip? How does he cope with being far from Earth while its being conquered? What are his thoughts about Zedd being back AGAIN. Is this what leads into Once & Always with the Zordon thing? Or is this his "oh my god he really was in the grid at least I was on the right track please let me mentor teenagers to make up for it." Does he help Ollie recover post series?

Amelia: Please give me all the fic about her figuring out her identity after she finds out she's Rafkonian and has her parents again. How does she adjust? Fluff with her and Ollie? Or give me her thought process on adjusting to red and having an evil boyfriend! How does this adjust? Tell me more about her team mom role and her feelings about stepping into Zayto's color.

Ollie: Ok look if you want to write fucked up Ollie/Zedd I will love you forever. I know I said no sexual assault in the general DNWs, THIS IS THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE. Or you know, general Ollie having a lot of feels about what he did while being evil. Does he get involved in the formerly evil rangers support group???? How does it affect his relationship with Amelia?

Power Rangers Turbo (Adam, Justin, Tanya)

Either Adam/Tanya or one of the two individually please! No fic that breaks them up. If you don't want to write ship fic that's fine, but I'd prefer fic then that focused on one of the two of them as like, character explorations.

Adam/Tanya ship: Either fic of them dating while balancing powers, or making their relationship work after. (Feel free to combine with the Tanya individual one where she becomes the Beyonce of the Power Rangers universe. Maybe Adam is a novelist? Or just her arm candy?)

Adam individually: So many years ago I suggested that in a PR universe where Adam Park posts on Power Rangers message boards/usenet he has at least once a) written a troll fic of "WHAT IF ME AND MY FRIENDS WERE POWER RANGERS" and b) gotten into a flamewar with Bulk and Skull.

I also love dealing with losing his powers and how poorly he handles that. Alternately, does he stay as a stunt man? We know he took creative writing so many times that they wouldn't let him take it anymore! Does he write a series of fantasy novels loosely based on being a Power Ranger?

Tanya individually: Tanya's future career as basically the Beyonce of the Power Rangers universe. She absolutely calls that dude for the recording contract as soon as she gives up her powers, right? Does she get an EGOT? Go on dancing with the stars? (Before congress reveal Zack I suggested he could be her professional dance partner but hey there's plenty of other options)

OR

Justin: Ok give me all the angst about being a pre-teen superhero and adapting to life AFTER being a 12 year old hero. How does he cope with countdown to destruction? Does he get involved with future teams? What is it like readjusting to living with his dad?
