CLAIMED:
PH#1 - Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy Tactics
Link to the requests on the autoAO3app: here.

Request 1 by Ajora Fravashi (ajora)
Fandom: Final Fantasy V

Relationships: Faris Scherwiz/Lenna Charlotte Tycoon (FFV), Galuf Halm Baldesion & Bartz Klauser (FFV), 1: Lenna Charlotte Tycoon (FFV)

Media: Art, Fic

Additional details:

Faris/Lenna has been my otp since 1997. Anyone willing to write or draw it is going to earn my eternal appreciation. I'm interested in practically any flavor of it so long as it's requited.

Also interested in Butz and Galuf being friends. Secondary sources say that Butz felt very lost when his father died, and I think Galuf would be a great substitute granddad figure to him.

Also also I just want good things for my fave, so Lenna bonding with dragons is a welcome topic, too.

Request 1 by Rose Argent (roseargent)
Fandom: Final Fantasy Unlimited

Relationships: Kaze & Makenshi & Madoushi (FFU), Kaze/Makenshi (FFU)

Media: Fic

Additional details:

Kaze/Makenshi: One thing about their relationship that I'm especially drawn to is how, despite Kaze spending almost the entirety of the series amnesiac and trying to kill him, Makenshi never turns on his friend and just keeps hoping that Kaze will return to who he once was. I also really love how they work together so seamlessly with little or no preparation (both the first time and at the end of the anime). I'd be happy with something set at just about any point in the timeline, from pre-series to a post-series AU (I say AU because I'm not terribly fond of what I do know of the sequels, so if you do happen to be familiar with them I would prefer that you leave them out of the story, with the exception of FFU: After Spiral Zero). I do like what I know about the prequel, though. Makenshi's feelings about Kaze forgetting their past are something I'd love to see explored more, but most of all I'd just like to see more of their relationship and see them get a little more "screen time" together.

Kaze & Makenshi & Madoushi: Everything I said about Kaze and Makenshi applies here, but with the added bonus of Madoushi. Madoushi is of course only in that one episode (and apparently a prequel extra chapter of FFU: After Spiral), but what we do see is really interesting to me: an older sibling obsessed with proving he's better than his genius younger brother just has so much potential. I'd just love to see more about his relationship with his brother, and see him actually interact with Kaze outside of a fight (or in a longer fight, even). Optionally, I'm open to Kaze/Makenshi in this request as well, and Madoushi's feelings on that. Even more optionally than that: yes, I'm also open to Kaze/Madoushi/Makenshi, or just Madoushi having incestuous feelings about his brother in addition to all the other baggage.

DNWs: coprophilia, emetophilia (vague mentions of characters vomiting from stress/trauma are fine), bestiality, adult baby, sex or gender swaps/headcanons, PIV, unrequested consensual pairings involving requested characters (noncon by outside parties is fine), noncon between Kaze and Makenshi (dubcon brought on by external factors is okay), explicit pre-canon/flashback sexual content in which characters would be under 16, explicit mention of character ages for characters under 18 if sexual content is present in the story, mindbreak, passive/weepy victims in noncon, victims compliant from the start (reluctant/under duress is okay).

Request 2 by Rose Argent (roseargent)
Fandom: Final Fantasy XIII

Relationships: 1: Yaag Rosch (FFXIII), Jihl Nabaat & Yaag Rosch (FFXIII)

Media: Fic

Additional details:

Yaag Rosch: I realise this is not very helpful, but... anything! I love that Yaag is so dedicated to his job, yet he's by no means mindlessly obedient; he views what he's doing as the lesser evil, and necessary, but he has no illusions that it's not still terrible. He does what he believes is best for the people and when he learns more about the Fal'Cie's goals late in the game he adjusts to that new information; he chooses what he believes is best for the people of Cocoon right to the end, and I love him for it. So, really, I just want more of him! I haven't played XIII-2 personally, but I love what I've read about the role of his posthumous recordings in that, too.

Jihl Nabaat & Yaag Rosch: I emphatically do NOT ship these two; I could be into there being a history some past non-romantic/no-strings-attached flings from their student days, but it's not really something I'd want to see explicitly. Their past and their relationship is very interesting to me, in general. I'd be happy to hear more about their time in the PSICOM academy together, or their working relationship before or during the game--they came up as contemporaries, but by the time of the game Yaag is Jihl's subordinate, which can't be a comfortable thing even before you take into account their vastly different personalities! Like with Yaag himself, I'd really just like more, and I'm open to whatever you come up with!

DNWs: coprophilia, emetophilia (vague mentions of characters vomiting from stress/trauma are fine), bestiality, adult baby, sex or gender swaps/headcanons, PIV, unrequested consensual pairings involving requested characters (noncon by outside parties is fine), explicit pre-canon/flashback sexual content in which characters would be under 16, explicit mention of character ages for characters under 18 if sexual content is present in the story, mindbreak, passive/weepy victims in noncon, victims compliant from the start (reluctant/under duress is okay).

Request 3 by Rose Argent (roseargent)
Fandom: Vagrant Story

Relationships: 1: Samantha (Vagrant Story)

Media: Fic

Additional details:

Poor Samantha. She rose to the rank of Commander in the Order of the Crimson Blades and is clearly a leader who actually cares about her troops, unlike almost anyone else in the game, and what does she get for it? I'd love to see more of her before Guildenstern got to her, or more of the doubts she has in-game; exploration of her wavelength compatibility with Ashley could also be interesting. I'm also open to timeline-what-timeline or a tone-matching AU, just so long as I get to see more of Samantha, especially if it means I get to see more of Samantha as a leader and a warrior instead of a follower and a sacrifice. I'd also love to see something that allows her to come to terms with Romeo's treatment of her and her death, either in an AU where she somehow survives, or her last thoughts, or whatever, really. (Should you wish to mention or include any side pairings, I do ship Sydney/Ashley, but of course Samantha should be the focus.)
