🍬 💝 Candy Hearts Dear Creator Letter 💝 🍬
Jan. 7th, 2023 02:02 amHello Mystery Creator! Happy candy day!
My name is Banah and you can find my AO3 here.
Thank you so much for creating for me; I'm very excited to see what you'll make. Below I've included some likes (including likes specific to art & smut if you're going in that direction) as well as some brief prompts for each requested pairing. Feel free to ignore them entirely; I love a wide variety of things and am looking forward to whatever you want to make!

Less of a like and more of a note, but please don't worry if you feel like your art isn't shippy "enough" - my OTP standing next to each other on a page is enough to make me happy.

Redesigns in general - new hair, new outfits, role or outfit swaps, aged up or down, AU'd into another fandom
Ship wearing each other's signature clothes
Ship sleeping on each other or otherwise being vulnerable together
Ship fighting back-to-back
Taller person carrying shorter person bridal-style, either to be cute or because they're injured

Fake selfies, polaroids, social media posts, etc
Cooking and eating
Magic or glowing elements
Scenery
florals or planet elements
art deco elements/framing
Ah, Zack/Cloud. Two cute kids with dreams as big as their swords and a lot of determination beaten down by the world over and over again until it all ends in one dying young and leaving the other with severe psychological trauma. Adorable, tbh.
I love these two for the hero worship and ultimate loyalty but also the period in Crisis Core before everything goes wrong and they're just extremely cute. While I've requested them under CC, I'm also a fan of "somehow, Zack survived" stuff set post-canon, or AUs set during the timeline of the original game where Zack made it (feel free to just not explain at all, even. I have my doubts that canon will!)
Note: Feel free to integrate aspects of Remake, OG, Compilation, twenty-year-old fanon - whatever you're feeling in here; I'm familiar with everything but the PS5 version of Remake and not even a little picky. RE: Cloti, Clerith, and Zerith - they're all NOTPs for me, but I'm cool with acknowledgement of past feelings if that's what the story needs.
Note: I have played both the original game and consumed most of the compilation including Crisis Core, feel free to incorporate whatever canon you'd like or make up whatever isn't covered in Remake itself! I'm flexible.
So here I was, minding my own business, never having considered this ship before, when Aerith glares up at this guy twice her height and (at this point) significantly more powerful and tells himhe ain't shit everything about him is wrong. Reader, I was instantly smitten. I love the contrast of how human and alive Aerith's strength is, compared to Sephiroth's cold and alien nature. I love that they both seem to know more of what's going on than the player, and that they're set so strongly against each other. I also love the idea of her being able to save him and save the world that way, without making her ultimate sacrifice.
I'm down for a lot of different dynamics with them, too - anything from fluffy AUs and canon-fix-its to hatesex and non-con is A-OK with me! :3 (RE: Clerith and Zerith - I don't ship either but am okay with references to past feelings for each other.)

CRISIS CORE: Zack/Cloud
Ah, Zack/Cloud. Two cute kids with dreams as big as their swords and a lot of determination beaten down by the world over and over again until it all ends in one dying young and leaving the other with severe psychological trauma. Adorable, tbh.

RE: Cloti, Clerith, and Zerith - they're all NOTPs for me, but I'm cool with acknowledgement of past feelings if that's what the story needs.
- Zack being resurrected at any point in the timeline - early, pre-Mideel game is interesting considering Cloud's state of mind, but I'm also fascinated with the idea that waking up post-game in Edge would be like time traveling to a post-apocalyptic future for Zack. Either way I like the idea of Cloud having to deal with Zack's opinions of the man he's become and Zack still loving him.
- Cute outsider POV with mutual crushing happening when Cloud was in the infantry.
- Social media - I'm delighted by the general take in Crisis Core about how the Firsts' fame worked with the fanclubs and things; I'd love to see a more updated version of that with fake twitter/instagram/tumblr/whatever where Zack's famous and Cloud's a nobody.
- Darkfic! I like it! I'd enjoy anything set during the period where Hojo was experimenting on them. Zack and Cloud being used against one another, forced to watch as the other is tortured, or Hojo Made Them Do It, both as party favors at a Shinra Trash Party ... whump those pretty boys, is what I'm saying.
- Art-Specific Prompts
- Werewolf Zack menacing or protecting Cloud
- Anything at all with Miss Cloud
- Zack carrying Cloud in any context
- Cloud defending Zack against enemies
- Anything where they're on the road together

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE: Aerith/Sephiroth
Note: I have played both the original game and consumed most of the compilation including Crisis Core, feel free to incorporate whatever canon you'd like or make up whatever isn't covered in Remake itself! I'm flexible.

I'm down for a lot of different dynamics with them, too - anything from fluffy AUs and canon-fix-its to hatesex and non-con is A-OK with me! :3 (RE: Clerith and Zerith - I don't ship either but am okay with references to past feelings for each other.)
Prompts:
- I'm a big fan of fix-its and timeloops, and of course Remake is ripe for that sort of thing. I'd love to see a take where they're trapped in a timeloop or keep getting reset by the Whispers while being the only ones to remember what's happening. They could start out with their canon enemies dynamic and make the enemies-to-lovers transition under the pressure and inability to get away from one another.
- I like the fact that both were under Shinra's control during part of their childhood and the idea of the two of them meeting in that context, as lonely experiments. I've often thought about AUs where Aerith remained in Shinra's custody and the two of them grew up alongside one another. Would she be a balancing influence on him? Would he drag her down into his madness?
- Related, I also love Aerith's joke about how maybe she was a SOLDIER and I'd love to see an AU where that is the case!
- Canon, but for some reason they're trapped somewhere isolated and have to work together in order to survive. Perhaps - perhaps - there is only one bedroll.
- Art-Specific Prompts
- size difference! that's it! that's the prompt!
- Fighting each other, or fighting side-by-side, or Aerith defending Sephiroth
- Aerith healing Sephiroth or tending to his wounds
- Aerith braiding or grooming Sephiroth's hair
- Sephiroth carrying Aerith bridal style
- A roleswap with Sephiroth as the Cetra healer and Aerith as the crazy alien's daughter
- size difference! that's it! that's the prompt!
