Dear Heart Attack Creator 2021

Dear Heart Attack creator, thank you for going into cardiac arrest for me! Everything here is optional; please have fun!

AO3: karanguni; sign-up here
tl;dr: I'm an omnivorous reader and my prompts are 100% just jumping off points; enjoy!

General Likes

  • Old friendships and relationships: people who were close but who then drifted or were driven apart, and how they come together again. The internal struggle of renegotiating new/old territory; unrequited/unresolved tension. Pining is great.
  • People who know each other very well, and who translate that knowledge into a variety of things - whether that's intimacy, sex, codependency, codeswitching or otherwise - that aren't easily read or understood by third parties. Ingroup/outgroup dynamics!
  • Service/loyalty/contractual obligations.
  • High-pressure situations - whether immediate or over a long time span - and how people respond to them.
  • Competence porn: people who have worked very hard to become highly proficient in their skillsets, whether that's being an assassin or meticulous scholarship.
  • Private versus public conflicts, and how a character balances the two. Winning one only to lose the other; difficult compromises.
  • Cross-class interactions; the bigger the divide, the better. Double points if it's not just a case of "I've got X and you've not", but rather how two people challenge each other across said divides.
  • Worldbuilding, especially economic, in-group, and political worldbuilding.
  • Outsider perspectives
If you're interested in writing totally-optional porn, the following might be relevant for my requested fandoms:
  • Powerplays and mindfucking, whether in bed or out of it. Cavalier but not careless use of power.
  • Gaps of experience, of personal wealth, of language, of social class.
  • Breathplay, dirty talk, spanking/impact play, voyeurism/exhibitionism, clothing or uniform porn or mostly-dressed sex, restraints.
  • Post tennis match adrenalin highs leading to sex. Fury at losing! FURY AT WINNING!

DNWs

Again, I'm omnivorous! Hard DNWs are listed in my prompts per-fandom. I trust your best judgement! Also, WELCOME TO 2005, because that seems to be where my signup is from alongside being 66.6% copypasta from Fic In A Box, sorry.

Prince of Tennis [Fic Only]

Fuji Shuusuke/Tezuka Kunimitsu

DNW: genderswap, Fujicest

I am an anime person for Prince of Tennis and have both anime and manga for New Prince of Tennis, but I am supremely unfussed about which medium you get your canon from!

I could eat this pair for breakfast every day for the rest of my life and be happy. They smash all my buttons re: competence porn, complex friendships, silent-but-deadly, smouldering inner landscapes, still waters run deep, and do it all in a canon that has had them essentially actually be married looking after a group of feel-good lunatics.

I think Tezuka is hugely dimensional despite his I'm-40-call-me-buchou face: the New Prince of Tennis U-16s Yamato-kicks-his-head-in and German pro arc solidified that for me as Tezuka yeets himself out of Japan to go burn passionately for himself. That said, please don't feel like you need to go consume Konomi's never-ending canons; I'm just as happy if you draw from the OG anime.

FUJI, meanwhile, WHERE DO I BEGIN. I love his Juno-like personality: I believe there's genuine kindness/gentleness to him just as I believe that he'll grind your nose into a cement curb and break every bone in your body. I know my DNW of "please don't make Fuji too much of an asshole" seems a little washy, but all that means is that if Fuji is - say - destroying someone's entire universe, that he do it for a relatively good reason. I expect NO LIMITS to what this human being could do. Again, the later arcs hint at Fuji tipping slowly on the scales of his dedication to tennis beyond a fun thing to do in the afternoons, and offer us tantalising prospects of Fuji possibly being as good (or better) than Tezuka/Yukimura/Atobe/whoever he damned well puts his mind to being better at. The push/pull of Fuji being unable to fully commit to tennis while also being fully committed enough to, say, stalking Tezuka to the hospital, to the Nationals, and around the world is GREAT.

As a pair in canon, it's always been the little things. I love that almost every scene in which the two of them are present involves a shot of them quietly next to one another: evaluating games, or Tezuka waiting for Fuji to tie his shoelaces, or Fuji knowing when Tezuka is going to just randomly disappear again. It's not shouted from the hilltops, but that's what I love about it: how they fly it under the radar, how Fuji refuses to let himself be on the "executive committee" of team leadership but is there anyway, how Tezuka can actually sit next to him and maybe not be a captain or national figure.

So, in terms of actual prompts, ha! I'm not joking: give me anything. I love in-canon stuff, post-canon stuff, missing scenes, random crack, AUs, ARs, ANYTHING THAT IS MORE OF THEM. Some additional random thoughts:

  • Missing scene: Fuji plays Atobe, and Tezuka has way too many feelings about it
  • Midsummer Night's Dream AU: someone (maybe even Fuji) plays a trick on Tezuka and bewitches him to be UNWILLINGLY IN LOVE with Fuji - how aware Tezuka is of this compulsion and how much he fights it is up to you. Plot twist: by the end of the night's dream, Tezuka reveals that the compulsion'd worn off a long time ago, but was a good excuse to act like ____
  • Competence porn: a writeup about their playstyles? A look at their standings in high school/the pro circuit? Echizen getting smacked down by a leveled-up Fuji and outsider perspective-ing the two of them?
  • Injury/disability AU: some hurt/comfort or competence co-dependence in a situation where either of them has to not overcome but live with a long-term impairment = amazing. Whether this is in our normal universe or some AU (magic? they're both ninja in Naruto?) is up to you!

Feel free to reference my FFFX letters (findable via this post's tags -> exchange letters) for this pairing.

Junjou Romantica [Fic Only]

Kamijou Hiroki & Usami Akihiko

DNWs: Kamijou utterly depressed/pining by the end of the fic; Akihiko being intentionally cruel to Kamijou

It's implied in the anime that Akihiko is a tight-lipped bastard who doesn't tell anyone anything about Misaki, but I'd love to see a fic where he and Kamijou find out that they're both happy. By the end of the anime I was thoroughly charmed by Akihiko/Misaki, and while I can sort of take or leave Kamijou/Nowaki, I like that Kamijou's happy. What does Akihiko and Kamijou operating as friends look like around these relationships? When we depart from the one-dimensional romantic relationships all the time lens of the series, what does this platonic relationship do to help balance out their lives?

I'd love to see a fic that covers a large chronological chunk of their relationship. I'd like to think that canon implies fairly heavily that Akihiko was never a bastard to Kamijou after Their Thing, and I'd love any loyalty porn around that of him sticking it through with Kamijou and Kamijou working equally hard to get them back onto some level ground.

Or, if you don't want to go there, tell me about their friendship as they both rise up through their careers together! Akihiko as a writer bucking his family's ridiculous expectations and Hiroki doing... whatever the heck Hiroki is doing for the Love Of Literature. He's clearly a rich little spoilt kid when they're young, and canon mentions how Hiroki's family is well off: why's he living in a tiny box of an apartment and suffering as an associate professor, then? And what does Akihiko think about this journey?

Some other random prompts for you:

  • Kamijou meeting the Usami family and being inspired never to meet them ever again
  • Akihiko being somewhat adopted by the Kamijou family: does his obsession with normalcy begin there?
  • Egregious use of literature and/or classical Japanese to overcome emotional constipation
  • Kamijou going best friend super-saiyan protective over Akihiko when Akihiko ______. Options: falls sick, gets sabotaged by his brother/father, gets savaged by critics for writing something too happy

Re: my DNWs - this relationship is certainly predicated on pining and angst, and I'm ALL FOR THAT, don't get me wrong! I just don't want Kamijou at the end of 10,000 words to be NOTHING BUT sad/unrequited. Complex is fine! Ambiguous is fine! Pining while reflecting on other things he has with Akihiko is fine! But no 100% deep dark bad place sadness, please.

Original Work [Fic OR Art]

Church Painter Who May Be the Devil/Village Priest (M/M)

In addition to my original prompt below, here are some bullet points for you:

  • Art: the devil and the priest in suits. Maybe they're in a Ghost in the Shell type lineup - feel free to OC the others: the devil's familiar? Their pigment dealer? WHAT IS THIS COMIC ABOUT? I don't know, you draw it and I'll read it!
  • Handjobs in the confessional
  • _____________ in the confessional
  • _____________ outside the confessional
  • Paint on skin
  • Magic paint on skin
  • Holy paint on devil skin. Does it become a tattoo?
  • Language porn

[Original prompt:] TAKE ME TO CHURCH. Create me your iddy worst/best. Interpret "priest" in our real world sense of any variety of religion (I would love a Jesuit priest if you want a preference) or invent your own. Some ideas:

  • The painting is alive, or prophetic
  • Only the priest can see some elements of the painting
  • The priest turns out not to be just a priest but the Chosen One™
  • The devil is literally in the details
  • The priest is totally okay with the devil painting his church, and engages in 10,000 words of conversation and confession with the devil, since he carries the weight of his community on his shoulders and it would be unfair to unload on anyone else
  • The priest tempts the devil with beautiful but holy pigments
  • The priest and the devil, after years of developing the painting together, both walk away from religion for Reasons.
  • The priest was someone's firstborn offering to the devil, and the devil isn't collecting because...
  • The devil is tired of hell and ceding the throne to someone else
  • Either one of them is a reincarnate
  • Bonus: the priest is blind and the devil has to describe his own work.
  • The priest is more worldly than the devil can account for
  • The church ends up becoming some weird confessional ground for both angelic and demonic sorts due to their combined influence and the priest AND the devil end up taking a whole lot of confessions from unexpected individuals. The church of grey areas? They are united by their aunt agony services?

I'd love a dynamic where they are both end up relatively equal partners in terms of intellectual or emotional sparring, though I am all for imbalance in every other sense - power, age, &c. I'd prefer for the priest not to be afraid all the time, though feel free to use that as a focal point of his development.

Fun kinks, sexual or otherwise: clerical attire porn, all the symbology you want to put together, time passing/reversing/looping, speaking in tongues, blasphemy, impact play, dirty talk (especially if the priest is doing it!), competence porn

Here are some random canons to inspire the tone of the fic for you: Vampire Chronicles.... OR QUEEN OF THE DAMNED. The Sparrow... OR Father Brown. HP Lovecraft... OR Discworld. Vienna Teng's In Another Life. I'm just as happy if the tone is a little crackier as long as the world is internally consistent!

DNWs: permanent death of either main character; totally grimdark ending (sad ending, yes! they don't actually get together, sure! rocks fall, everybody dies, the devil is going to hell after making the priest's life hell and doesn't care, please no), scat, oviposition, non-con without at least progression to less-non-con afterwards (i.e., single non-con PWP = ):, non-con scene in a fic where their relationship develops into one that's not so non-con = :))
