I love the weird, creepy world of Fallen London and this later version of it in this bizzare sky/space world they move to after their time belowground. The otherworldliness combined with the familiar elements of Victorian Britain is just delightful. I'm open to any sort of adventures in this world, whether creepy or mundane: fighting sky beasts, or lounging around in the mess hall, or a mishap during a stay at port—or anything else! Appearances by any characters are welcome, though I would prefer a female or gender-neutral captain if they appear.
The Felined Eccentric
The Felined Eccentric was one of my favourite crew stories in the game. I love the "Encounter with the Eccentric" scene, how they work quietly and companionably together. And I also find the scene with Paimon really funny, how he separates them when she sits next to the captain. I find her backstory especially interesting. Iirc she's tied to the White Well and there's an implication she might have been The Watcher (or something along those lines?). And I I love that she ends up carting around her past self in the form of three ornery cats. I'd love to see anything that expands on her character in her present form or in her past form and her transformation in Piranesi.
I'm open to any and all other crew so go ahead and use whatever mix of characters suits you, though I prefer a female or gender-neutral captain if they appear. I'm mostly just excited to see more of the weird world of Sunless Skies.

Blake/Yang, team RWBY
I'm a late arrival to this series but now that I've finally seen it, it's become a huge favourite. I adore Yang especially and really enjoyed watching the development of her relationship with Blake over the series. But I also love how all the characters grow and mature, especially over the course of V3-4 and then really come into their own in V7-8 and finally 9.
I'd be happy with anything whether it's set in their Beacon days or in one of the later seasons, whether it's Yang and Blake or the whole team. Since this is one of my few fandoms with actual digital technology I suggested some things like chat threads or IMs in case that's something you'd like to try. Mission reports from their school days or their time as official huntresses in Atlas also came to mind. But really just anything about what they've been up to would be great. And I'm all caught up on V9 so if you want to do post-canon, feel free!

Mahit/Three Seagrass
Really I'd love to see anything about these two, together or separate depending on what we matched. I love how smart and witty they both are and how important language and poetry are in these books. I also enjoy how in-world documents are a part of the books and how they're used to show us more of the world the the main characters operate in. I'd definitely love to see something that hints at what these two get up two that we don't see in the books but I'm also open to any world-building element whether it's about the cultural traditions of Teixcalaan, Lesel, or something more mundane like the latest issue of that Stationer comic Three Seagrass was reading.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Three Houses FE3H likes/DNWs: FE3H-specific likes/DNWs: Prefer female Byleth if she's included. And if you're not into CF route, please be vague about route or go with an AU where everyone survives, or deal with events in the first half of the game.

Edelgard/Byleth
Edelgard
Jeralt
Dorothea
Claude
I like all of these characters and would be happy with any kind of story about them (with the general exceptions in my DNWs of course) but if you're hunting for prompts here are a few off the top ideas:
*Notes from schooldays or Byleth's remarks on student progress and/or antics
*Something about Dorothea's time as a songstress
*Claude interacting with characters from other houses. I love how cunning and strategic he is and covers everything with charm and humour. I always love seeing him interact with characters outside of Deer.
*Jeralt is what--300 or so years old? Has he had to fake his death and create a new identity like Rhea has? Has he used different names? Maybe something about one of his past adventures as a Knight of Seiros or his early days of being a mercenary and a dad. Or some record or letter in the Garreg Mach library that's hundreds of years old but seems to describe him.
*Edelgard dealing with the day-to-day trials of being emperor
First of all, thank you so much for making what it is you're going to make. I've opted-in to "Creator's Choice of Canon-Appropriate In-Universe Mediums" for all of my fandoms to give you as much leeway as possible in case there's something you're really itching to try. I've also listed some prompts and ideas to help get you started if you need those but feel free to take it or leave it. if you're doing worldbuilding of course you can ignore that, but if you find a way to tie the worldbuilding in to some of my favourite characters even if it's in some tiny tangential way that will definitely get you bonus points!
I'm not expecting a specific thing for this exchange at all. Mostly what I like about this exchange is the idea that you can tell a story or reveal something interesting about a character or world through something that isn't a regular narrative. So I'm excited to see that explored and to see what you come up with!
