Dear author,
Thank you so much for looking at this letter, (considering) writing for us, and overall for dedicating your time to other people’s fannish interests!
The plural pronouns you’ll find throughout this letter aren’t the royal we—this is a joint signup of
Arianne &
patrexes, using our exchange account
graiai. Art treats and/or pinch hits are welcome; we’re requesting fic as we’re both visually impaired, but we do appreciate visual art.
General Likes: Unreliable narrators, emphasis on character voice and motive, moral ambiguity, character studies through porn, outsider POVs. Unhealthy established relationships and bad mental health in general. Tragedy and futile struggles—‘we will always end up here’ narratives. ‘Us against the world’ narratives. Ideas about sex and sexuality that don’t match modern western human ideas. Medical realism, medical kink, castration, blood and injury, painful sex, pain and amount of blood/injury exaggerated for kink purposes. Bruising, comeplay, gaping, and other physical indications of possessiveness. Power differences, size differences, age differences (including explicitly kinking on a character being or seeming underage). Oral fixations: making out, lip biting, finger sucking, cunnilingus. Intercrural, incomplete penetration, fingering after fucking. Emetophilia, dacryphilia, somnophilia, grief-stricken necrophilia.
General DNWs: AUs that change the setting, including A/B/O and soulmark AUs. Sex pollen. Any onscreen or referenced harm to animals. Onscreen hands-on sexual contact under age 10. Shower/bath sex. Scat.
Request-specific DNWs are listed with their fandoms.
Final Fantasy XIIFinal Fantasy XIVFinal Fantasy XVRequest-specific DNWs: Happy endings for the requested characters. Everybody Lives AUs. Coercion from any outside force or unrequested character (noncon is great, but a requested character should be the clear aggressor). Feminization, genderswaps, or trans headcanons. Any onscreen torture.
Basch fon Ronsenburg/Noah fon Ronsenburg | Gabranth
We’d love basically anything with these two, from any point pre- or mid-canon: whether that’s as teenagers doing something they shouldn’t and hiding it from their family, as adults doing something they really shouldn’t… We love their codependency, and their ideas about loyalty—especially where they don’t think the other’s loyalty deserves to lie. Tragic and star-crossed, mutually destructive, or just plain horny is all great: we’re easy to please.
Larsa Ferrinas Solidor/Vayne Carudas Solidor
Anywhere between Larsa being returned to his brother's power after Bhujerba to finally raising his sword against him: how Vayne treats him after running away, how he makes sense of things he becomes aware of his family's (and specifically his brother's) wrongs, or whatever other missing scenes you might imagine. We would be interested in either the gory details or outsider POV.
Basch fon Ronsenburg/Noah fon Ronsenburg | Gabranth/Larsa Ferrinas Solidor
We’ve been really taken of late by the idea of Larsa acting as the aggressor in a sexual encounter with Basch, and adding Gabranth to the mix makes things just that bit messier. Either a mid-game AU where Gabranth joins the party a bit earlier, or a post-game AU where he survives (so long as it’s not a happy ending) would probably work for this—or maybe you’re more creative than us and can think of a canon compliant scene! We’re really not picky: we’re mainly looking for pre-established (consummate or simply longing) Basch/Gabranth and Gabranth/Larsa, and some very bad mental health causing some major interpersonal problems.
Baelsar Family Values
Request-specific DNWs: The time bubble making Alfonse significantly older than Livia. The kids’ consent being a nonfactor to Gaius in going further than looking (even if his definition of consent may not precisely match the legal one). Alcohol or other substances. Any character(s) feeling victimized (though not necessarily knowing refusal is an option is fine). Any onscreen or referenced permanent death or torture of major characters.
Gaius van Baelsar/Alfonse
Alfonse should sit in Father’s lap and be taught how to make out. That’s it, really.
Seriously, though, Alfonse’s line in the Echo flashback in 5.2—“I just wish there was a way we could repay Lord Gaius for all the kindness he’s shown us.”—had us immediately going, oh, sweetheart, don’t worry. You’re Gaius’ type.
Gaius van Baelsar/Livia sas Junius
There’s no Gaius/Livia content you could possibly write we wouldn’t love. Pre-canon (even concerningly so), mid-ARR, Livia survives MSQ Rou AU, Livia doesn’t survive MSQ Rou but death is no obstacle AU? Anything at all. Eternal gratitude if they call each other “Father” and “Livilla”, and/or addressing Livia’s preference for Junius over Baelsar in her professional life.
Alfonse/Livia sas Junius
If Gaius hasn’t had Livia (probably a few years younger, given what we know of the timeline?) yet by the time he’s had Alfonse, she’s very jealous of her big brother. They should work out their differences, strengthen their sibling bond, practice kissing together so they can impress Father… When they’re kids, at least, they’re all sharing a room, judging by the Echo flashback.
Or maybe this is later on, when they’re young adults and either newly enlisted or planning on it, and Gaius is away from home. Mainly what we’re looking for out of this one is a legitimately positive sibling relationship (for once) where also, incidentally, they fuck.
Gaius van Baelsar/Alfonse/Livia sas Junius
This bit is purely horny—see above requests for the interpersonal, character driven stuff, and apply what you will. However these three might possibly slot together sounds hot as hell, from Gaius directing Alfonse and Livia together to whatever threesome position most strikes your fancy: maybe Gaius fucking Alfonse fucking Livia, maybe DP (Livia can handle it—judging by Auri dimorphism, Alfonse’s cock probably isn’t that big), maybe Livia and Alfonse take the lead and make out while they share their dad? Go wild.
Ivalice Alliance But They’re XIV Characters Now
Request-specific DNWs:Outside forces instigating sexual contact (except for the Otius, in the case of Alma/Ramza), or Basch considering himself a victim of Solus’ (Basch (correctly) not believing refusal is an option is fine, and you can victimize Noah to your heart’s content). Any onscreen or referenced torture except for castration (feel very free to castrate Noah).
Basch van Gabranth/Noah van Gabranth/Solus zos Galvus
5.25 gave us
a really fascinating bit of trivia wherein “one can but imagine the lengths [Basch] went to to earn [Solus’] trust” and that some believe Noah was appointed as the IVth’s Legatus on direct recommendation of the Emperor, “in recognition of his father’s service”. So, like, they should fuck. All three of them. We went into a bit more detail on a potential Noah/Solus dynamic, and linked more lorebook info, in our nonconathon letter
here; feel free to use it, or not, and also feel free to ignore the DNWs on that prompt.
Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca/Rasler B'nargin Dalmasca
So, in XII these two are married. In XIV, they’re twins. Dalmascan sibling marriage in the Pharaonic style? We want pretty clothes, pretty jewelry, and bold but ultimately doomed royal siblings, very possibly with a side of a nice, trope-y secret heir hidden in the downfall of Nabradia Fortress, if the resistance leader claiming to be the dead Princess Ashe is almost but not quite what she seems.
Alma bas Lexentale/Ramza bas Lexentale
As usual, a set of Final Fantasy siblings have intense sexual chemistry, and as usual, we want them to kiss. Setting aside our “no outside forces instigating things” DNW for this one, because if they fucked while Ramza was under the control of the Otius—and Alma either didn’t know or didn’t mind—that’d be really hot. Maybe it’s their first time! Maybe it’s not. It’s certainly not their last. We’d also love some teen pregnancy: Ramza isn’t smart enough not to knock up his sister, and nothing will convince us otherwise.
Misc
Request-specific DNWs: Alphinaud and Alisaie
not being identical twins, or depicting them more physically mature than their canon models. He/him pronouns for Eula. Alcohol or other substances. Any requested character considering themselves the other’s victim. Any onscreen death except for Nael’s, or torture except for castration (feel free to castrate… basically anyone here).
Alisaie Leveilleur/Alphinaud Leveilleur
Oh, look, more siblings who kiss. Alisaie has an oral fixation, and we think she should indulge it, and maybe make Alphinaud cry a bit. The circumstances really, truly do not matter to us. Pre-canon, during canon, whatever; feel free to have a third party instigate, so long as they’re already in an established relationship (this one was also mentioned in
our nonconathon letter with further detail), but no sweat if that’s not your thing! We’d really love anything with these two.
They’re identical twins. Whatever you want to do with what’s in their pants is up to you—including just never bringing it up—so long as it’s a humanly possible genital configuration and they match.
Eula | Nael van Darnus/Original Nael Darnus
Eula Darnus murdered at least eight people when she was fourteen years old, including her own father, to avenge her older brother Nael’s death, which dad may or may not have had something to do with. Then she took her brother’s identity and named her gunhalberd after her brother’s (now also dead) fiancée so that they could be together. In conclusion, Eula was in love with Nael, it was probably requited, and absolutely nobody in this family is okay in the slightest.
They’d probably do necro. They also definitely fucked before Nael’s untimely death, which may itself have only happened because they fucked. Sky’s the limit with how messed up you want this to be: the more gothic horror the better, where the Darni are concerned.
N.B. A line in Coils suggests that Eula’s current body doesn’t look like the one she died in; if you want to write her as trans, go for it, and if that included auto-castration at a concerningly young age, we wouldn’t be complaining.
Carvallain de Gorgagne/Jannequinard de Durendaire
Carvallain was kidnapped by pirates as a kid, and never ended up going home, despite ‘pirate captive’ being a pretty crappy gig. Janne is heavily implied to be his younger brother, and gave some very flimsy excuses to avoid going to Limsa Lominsa in the early AST quests. We want them to meet as adults, and things to… transpire from there, however it is that plays out. They both have some serious issues with their family, with past relationships both platonic and otherwise (Carvallain’s with Ser Gorgagne, Janne’s with Rufin Byrde), and when they finally meet, probably with each other, too. Feel free to mine these for drama (or sex appeal) as much or as little as you please.
We want them to fuck, and we want them to cause problems for themselves in the process. Please don’t feel like any of these problems need to be resolved, or even addressed: judging by everything else they’ve ever done, they’re not likely to try.
Request-specific DNWs: Happy endings for the requested characters. Ardyn or any other outside force instigating sexual contact. Alcohol or other substances. Background Luna/Noct. Any onscreen or referenced torture except for castration.
Lunafreya Nox Fleuret/Ravus Nox Fleuret
We’d love this ship as unrequited pining from Ravus’ end or as mutually romantic/sexual—anything from a domestic moment pretending all is fine in their separate captivity to Ravus finding Luna’s body in Altissa and kissing her farewell would be more than welcome. Mostly, we want them miserable together, and probably kissing. Feel very free to have Ravus incidentally castrated by the Empire in order to put an end to their line, and guiltily glad of it because it makes it easier for their relationship to fly under the radar. Soft cock kink is also great. We’re pretty shallow individuals.
Thanks again, author, and hopefully something here has caught your interest.

Arianne & patrexes
