Dear fellow [redacted] enthusiast,

Thank you dearly for picking up this request! I'm so excited to see what you come up with ~ I hope these prompts inspire you, but if not, please feel free to do your own thing!

I'm not very picky when it comes to underage. Go wild with any sexual acts you see fit to include ♥︎ While the pairings I've nominated can all plausibly interact during / up to at least one character's adolescence, I'd be happy to see any "de-aging" or timeline fudging happening, if you'd like.

Note: I have gifts enabled on AO3.

~ Happy writing 🖋

This series has forever changed my world and has been driving me insane for the past THREE years now. (As I write this, I am frantically manifesting Dai Gyakuten KENJI... please join me.🤞) There are priceless dynamics between everybody, literally! TGAA is also the game that has turned me into a multi-shipper; I freak out over every single character interaction (and everyone is attracted to everyone, don’t ask me how that works). I have a ton of DGS ships and enjoy exploring so many dynamics, especially codependent/messy/devoted forms of love.

Any and all characters from the full cast are welcome. Feel free to use either the original or localised spellings. (In this letter you'll notice I gravitate towards "Klint", "Holmes" and exact transliteration when it comes to Japanese names, but don't feel obligated to do the same!) I have no preference between, say, "Stronghart" or "Vortex". I very much enjoyed the Victorian speech patterns and cultural references in the game, so if you're up for writing in the style I'd be incredibly thrilled!

(adult) Genshin / Barok (child) / Klint (adult)

My absolute favourite loyalty trio ❤︎ I’m absolutely convinced that they’re all in love with each other, bound together by fate, and all that. I’m fine with any interpretation: two of them together before adding in the third – messy pining by everyone for everyone, whether it's in the context of a relationship or not – “educational” mentorships turning into more – juggling marriages and heirs with true love – literally anything!

I'm super obsessed with these two bro-cons, and the third they pick up somewhere along the way :D It's clear from how much Klint and Genshin both sacrificed for Barok that they loved him deeply, and so he does still in return; he does not strike me as the type to take down Klint's portrait following the Professor reveal, and he seems rather desperate to make amends with the Asougis... I'm drawn to that (somewhat) blind idol-worship of Barok's, along with all the other traits of the 'little darling' we get a few glimpses of. These are his prime 'little darling' years after all! ;) He really strikes me as a definite bottom, what with that maiden heart he has, though depending on the situation I could see him topping (or being forced to top~).

As for Klint and Genshin, I have no fixed top/bottom preference when it comes to sexual matters. I do want Klint to remain limited to Barok and Genshin in his relationships, though conversely I can see Genshin as having had plenty of past experience (specifically through shuudou, the samurai's genre of pederasty).

Treat the incest & homosexuality taboos and legality as you'd like - is the relationship a secret? Unconventional, but frowned upon (especially due to Genshin's foreign status and the van Zieks family as nobles? And let's not forget the issue of Barok's age.) Totally acceptable and downright standard? Expected, due to inbreeding traditions amongst the upper classes? I'm looking for love and loyalty between the three of them, but beyond that, anything is fair game.

A note on Klint:
I'd prefer if Klint isn't portrayed as cruel, overtly manipulative or violent towards Barok and Genshin, including intentional non-conning either one outside of the context of mutual dub/non-con.

Concerning the canonical marriages:

I would prefer for both Genshin's and Klint's marriages to be treated as arranged or political affairs - essentially, marrying out of duty as the family head must (and perhaps in Klint's case, to free Barok from the same fate). If you'd like to elaborate - perhaps it was necessary for safety reasons, happened as an agreement between friends, out of necessity, etc. - as long as love marriages or any romantic implications are avoided, I'm happy to see any interpretation. As for the issue of adultery: I'm fine with however you wish to treat this. Handwave things, give them mental anguish, have everyone in open marriages, choose or adapt the setting so that Lady Baskerville is not around yet and maybe never comes into the picture / the Asougi Lady has already passed away - anything goes!

(In Genshin's case, specifically)
Due to his samurai heritage, I can see him as hailing from shuudou traditions wherein it may have been acceptable for him to have other relationships (esp. with younger men) outside of his marriage. I enjoy seeing him portrayed as homosexual, but feel free not to address it if that doesn’t suit your interpretation.

If any of the above doesn't suit your fancy, please feel comfortable glossing over the subject of their marriages and avoiding it altogether.

Optional Prompts

• Genshin appreciates the brothers’ flexibility, and bends them into “interesting” positions. Or maybe stretching after a swordfight one day leads to sexy times. I’m just dying to see Genshin being surprised by the extent of their stretchiness and promptly wanting to take advantage of it.
• Klint and Barok hear about Genshin’s experiences with shuudou, and grow eager to try it out for themselves. Cue Barok's sexual mentorship.
  • Upon meeting Genshin, Barok and Klint learn about the pederastic traditions practiced by the samurai. As Barok has yet to reach adulthood, they decide to experience the tradition for themselves. Genshin has the most experience out of the three and guides Barok (and perhaps an inexperienced Klint?!) to sexual maturity.
• Time travel or deaging shenanigans: Is present!Barok in his younger body, or is he returning to the best years of his life? How did he get that way / there - don't tell me Holmes was up to something... or even Albert | Benjamin.
  • De-aged Barok...young, cute, miniature Barok........who loves his big brother sooo much and has stars in his eyes when Genshin is around....✨ How are they supposed to resist him!?
• The B collar did not belong to Balmung in the end; B is for Barok after all! It's a symbol of his devoted submission to his lovers ~
• A day (or multiple) in the life of Director of Prosecutions Klint van Zieks, his young judicial assistant Barok, and their detective partner, the foreigner Asougi. Any excuse for office sex~
• As Barok implies, the van Zieks were on the end of many attacks in the past. Does Genshin protect them? Were they ever abducted by the mob? I’d love to see them forced into some mutual non-con too. More thoughts below.

Extended thoughts on the Asozieks being attacked by a mob

I am SUPER into the thought of a London mob going after the van Zieks and Genshin. As Barok explains in canon, he and his family/companions paint a huge target, being both prominent members of the judiciary as well as English nobility. I really like this idea as mutual non-con, but I'm also happy to see the mob getting their grubby hands on any of these three <3

Perhaps the usual attacks on the van Zieks lead to an abduction. Maybe Genshin is taken with them, or maybe he tries to rescue them (and possibly he is captured too). Genshin and Klint are epic swordsmen, but they cannot possibly foresee every attack or abduction. Who makes up the mob who comes after them? Previously convicted criminals and/or their friends, seeking revenge on the van Zieks and their protector? Or perhaps Genshin is an afterthought, merely taken along for the ride or forced to join after a rescue mission gone wrong? Is the goal to obtain blackmail material, or simply do damage? (Whether that be physical or emotional/relationship-wise.) There is a particular allure to this happening whilst Barok is still underage :D Perhaps it is the doing of other jealous aristocrats, potentially even members of the judiciary... And, of course, can't forget about Stronghart! Is it Professor-related blackmail and assault, or does this event occur long before the murders begin? Maybe Stronghart, having failed to acquire blackmail material on the three upright men, decides to create his own?

If any combination of these three are whumped together, I like all flavours of this take: established relationship performing in public, (knowingly) pining but mutually refused to act on it or first times in the most degrading and heartbreaking of manners. I'm fine with having them roughed up and injured, as long as no body parts are removed. Please feel free to combine this idea with other characters and (requested) relationships too! (Jigoku, Kazuma, HomuMiko whom I forgot to request this year whoops...) In this scenario, I don't mind if any of the three are forced into sex with other characters.

Back to DGS

(child) Barok / Klint (child | adult)

These two are simply brother-obsessed. They're locked in mutual idolatry even though it blinds them. I love how they're respectively each other's weaknesses, and how needy and co-dependent they seem to be. While Klint never has to live without Barok, his actions suggest that he would fall apart in a similar way if he ever lost his brother.

Barok clearly loves Klint so, incredibly much. Unconditionally, even (despite the events of canon). I don’t think he’s the type to take down his brother’s portrait, as he still admires him and looks up to the man he loved… probably a little too deeply. I enjoy the thought of Barok looking to his brother for advice, and just generally going to or thinking of Klint in times of crisis.

As for Klint, I think the fact that he would’ve rather become Stronghart’s puppet instead of revealing the truth of his misdeeds to Barok (risking the loss of his affections), as well as how he was unable to confess his misdeeds to Barok while he still lived is very telling about how terrifying losing Barok was to him. Klint was paralysed by the need to remain perfect in his brother’s eyes lest he lose Barok’s love. What other sacrifices does he make for Barok’s sake? I like the idea of Stronghart blackmailing Klint with the threat of revealing their incestuous, underage relationship.

In terms of dynamics, one of my favourites is top!Klint taking Barok's virginity (and giving him his own, in exchange). Depending on the situation, I could see them switching if the goal is to "educate Barok on matters of intimacy", or if Klint is feeling guilty and attempting to repent. Either adult!Klint or tween/teen!Klint work, depending on whatever scenario interests you. From what age did baby Barok start driving him crazy, huh??

I'd prefer if Klint isn't portrayed as cruel, overtly manipulative or violent towards Barok, including intentional non-conning of Barok outside of the context of mutual dub/non-con.

On Klint's marriage to Lady Baskerville:

I would prefer for Klint's marriage to be treated as an arranged or political affair - essentially, marrying out of duty as the family head must — and perhaps to free Barok from the same fate...? If you'd like to elaborate - perhaps it was necessary for safety reasons, happened as an agreement between friends, out of necessity, etc. - as long as love marriages or any romantic implications are avoided (for instance, them viewing one another with familial bonds is fine!), I'm happy to see any interpretation. As for the issue of adultery: I'm fine with however you wish to treat this. Handwave things, give them mental anguish, have everyone in open marriages, choose or adapt the setting so that Lady Baskerville is not around yet and maybe never comes into the picture - anything goes! Some of these prompts do suggest a timeframe when Lady Baskerville was definitely in the picture - I don't mind if she shows up, and feel free to have her presence be a point of contention.

If any of the above doesn't suit your fancy, please go ahead and gloss over the subject of Klint's marriage or avoid it altogether.

Optional Prompts

Some of the prompts here also work for Klint/Barok only. Feel free to take inspiration from them as you please!

• Getting together before the arrival of the Japanese exchange students, when Barok was not yet an adult. Did Barok pursue Klint, or did their relationship evolve naturally as an extension of their brotherly affections?
• When Barok hits puberty, Klint is the one to introduce him to sex and onanism, a lesson that goes much too far. Once they start, they never stop.
• The van Zieks family tutor is quick to take up the switch as punishment. In an attempt to spare his brother (maybe the punishment is unjust? Or Klint's simply a huge pushover when it comes to his little brother), Klint petitions to take over the punishments himself. He ends up reluctantly taking Barok over his lap to give him a few bare slaps. Maybe Barok reacts to him, or Klint finds himself accientally turned on? Does this become their new normal?
• Before Genshin comes into their lives, Klint is the last line of defense when defending himself and his young brother. (Alternatively, Genshin might be around already, but not present at the moment.) One day, his best is not enough and they're forced to do despicable things by their tormentors. I have no preference for Barok's age, and if you'd like to set this at a time when he's a little too innocent, by all means!
  • For more thoughts on mobbings and mutual non-con, please see here.
• For A/B/O or dom/sub verses: I’d love to see bottom (omega/sub) Barok mating with/being collared by his brother. It could be out of necessity, to hide Barok’s dynamic. It could be convention between siblings within the aristocracy. Anything goes! ** For A/B/O, I'd prefer that omegas keep their male genitalia instead of having vaginas. **
• I’m also interested in Soulmate AUs for these two: how does it tie in to their brotherhood? How old are they when they figure it out, and when they decide it's time to consummate? Feel free to sneak in some worldbuilding here.
• How did they sneak around? Does Genshin know about their relationship? How quick did Holmes deduce them? What about their family? Does anyone ever walk in on them??
• Judicial assistant Barok assists his beloved older brother at work. What better way to spend more time together? It’s a great way to get some office sex, at least. Does Klint take him out to crime scenes and court battles too?
• Moral crises lead to so-called 'brotherly comforting' and intense secret pining ~
• I'd love to see the moment young Klint awakens to his latent sexual desires for his little brother. What prompts the realisation? Caught up in pubescence, does Klint pursue his perverse desires, or does Barok notice his strange behaviour and take it upon himself to relieve Klint's suffering?

Back to DGS

(child) Barok / Genshin (adult)

I love this dynamic of young, innocent Barok falling for his new foreign friend. I get the impression that he was somewhat lonesome even then, and Genshin was his only companion when Klint was busy. Of course we know that Barok had Albert (and possibly others) at university, but Genshin seems to be ‘special’ for some reason. Genshin’s protectiveness over Barok gets me every time – I’m utterly obsessed with the flashback scene where he has his arm outstretched to protect Barok. (Also, how he whispers in Barok’s ear… swoon.)

I imagine the sexual relationship between these two looked very different pre versus post Professor case. Maybe young, inexperienced Barok was much more of a willing submissive and bottom as a child. I'm open to many interpretations of these two! I tend to see Barok as more of a bottom, especially when Genshin was introducing him to the mechanisms of intimacy, but would definitely enjoy him topping Genshin either in his younger, innocent days as a form of sexual education.

On Genshin's side, I like to imagine that he has always wanted a younger lover, and Barok fulfills all of his ideals: a strong sense of justice, similar interest in sword play, and to top it off he's utterly adorable and adores Genshin very much! If you'd like to explore a setting where he grew up in a pederastic system, it would be fun to play with the idea that now that he's grown and has completed his service and upbringing, it's time for him to take on a young disciple of his own - and he intends on righting the wrongs that were inflicted on him back at home. If not, it would be great to explore why he fell for Barok, and if he has any internal conflict about it should his tastes not run young.

Since Barok canonically met Genshin during his adolescence, there is lots to play with. Did Genshin take his virginity, upon Barok's request? Has there been any past Barok / Klint in this context? If you'd prefer to go the de-aged route, there are so many older!Baroks to choose from! Is this post-Professor case? Post canon? The possibilities are endless and you should go wild here :D

I would prefer for Genshin's marriage to be treated as an arranged or political matter - essentially, marrying out of duty as the heir must. If you'd like to elaborate - perhaps it was necessary for safety reasons, or happened as an agreement between friends, out of necessity, etc. - as long as love marriages or any romantic implications are avoided, I'm happy to see any interpretation. As for the issue of adultery: I'm fine with however you wish to treat this. Handwave things, give them mental anguish, choose or adapt the setting so that her death occurs earlier - anything goes! There's also the idea of exploring how it was acceptable for Genshin to have other relationships (esp. with younger men) outside of his marriage, as per samurai traditions.

Many of the prompts here were also written with Barok / Genshin in mind. Please take a look and feel free to take inspiration from them too!

Back to DGS

(child | adult) Genshin / Klint (adult | child)

What I like about them

Canon doesn’t give us much to go off of, but these two clearly had a deep and trusting relationship behind the scenes (and were sword buddies!). The fact that Klint leaves Genshin with the responsibility of carrying out all of his last wishes, AND how Genshin puts his life on the line to carry out Klint’s will at any cost really speaks to the depth of their affections. Also, how Genshin chose to take Klint’s life himself for ‘honour’ and ‘dignity’, even if it meant sullying his own soul…..

'Child' AUs

I'm interested in everything from de-aging scenarios, to complete re-writes where one of these two is a child of any age, to reincarnation settings where the age gap is just a liiiitle bigger than it used to be... :D Go wild!!

I'd prefer if Klint isn't portrayed as unnecessarily cruel towards Genshin, including any intentional non-con of Genshin outside of the context of mutual dub/non-con. In terms of sexual dynamics, I have no firm preference and can see them switching depending on the context. I tend to prefer that Klint's romantic inclinations to remain limited to Barok and Genshin, though with Stronghart, perhaps the line runs a little muddy... (though I do see it as hate, from Klint's side at least.)

A note on canonical marriages:

I would prefer for both Genshin's and Klint's marriages — if they exist in this AU — to be treated as arranged or political affairs: essentially, marrying out of duty as the family head must (and in Klint's case, possibly to free Barok from the same fate). If you'd like to elaborate - perhaps it was necessary for safety reasons, happened as an agreement between friends, out of necessity, etc. - as long as love marriages or any romantic implications are avoided, I'm happy to see any interpretation. As for the issue of adultery: I'm fine with however you wish to treat this. Handwave things, give them mental anguish, have everyone in open marriages, choose or adapt the setting so that Lady Baskerville is not around yet and maybe never comes into the picture / the Asougi Lady has already passed away - anything goes!

Optional Prompts

Some of the prompts here also work for Genshin/Klint only. Feel free to take inspiration from them as you please!

• Child!Klint is a prosecutorial prodigy, and retains his position despite his age. ...What if they sometimes engaged in secret trysts in the office? Or, gasp, around some crime scenes?
• In the same vein: Genshin sometimes acts as Klint's bodyguard. One day they are caught and wind up at the mercy of their attackers. (See here for more on mutual non-con.)
• Sex as stress relief. Potentially of the kinky variety. You know Klint needs it.
• GenKlint meet again in a modern AU. (Or not-so-modern, something set in the 20th century would be cool!) How affected do they remain by their past lives? Has Klint's guilt ebbed at all? Do they pick up right where they left off?

Back to DGS

(child) Jigoku / Genshin (child)

I'd love to see some pre-canon shenanigans for these two, at home in Japan growing up or possibly during their adolescent adventures. I like them best as fuck-buddies (where Jigoku is the only one pining), as well as in situations where they are forced into mutual non-con.

I often headcanon these two as childhood friends, or at least being long-standing acquaintances before meeting Mikotoba later on in life. They seem the jock type, as opposed to a more studious Mikotoba, and that might shape their bonds a little differently. My headcanon is that Jigoku had crushes on both Genshin and Mikotoba over the years, and perhaps even indulged in a physical relationship with Genshin as children~ Later on, those feelings may even have lead him to take over mentorship of Kazuma, and cross the line between friendly uncle and nenja / Kazuma's top. (More on that in the Jigoku / Kazuma section below.)

There are some hints that Jigoku also hails from a line of samurai. I think it would be cool for him and the Asougi family to have had a long-standing friendship, maybe even reaching back to Genshin's and his childhood! Similarly to Genshin, I imagine he also went through shuudou training in his adolescence.

While I'm more interested in the physical relationship between them, if you'd like to touch upon Genshin's feelings for Jigoku, go ahead!

Whatever the context, my favourite dynamic between them is one-sided Jigoku → Genshin, possibly wherein they have a physical relationship ^^~ Whether or not Genshin is aware of the nature of Jigoku's affections is up to you, though personally I lean towards him either having figured it out, or possibly he rejected Jigoku outright - though I can be convinced otherwise! Perhaps in an earlier setting (during their adolescence, or even before?), their relationship was more about the physicality and companionship than anything romantic.

I'd love to see Genshin and Jigoku in some sort of sexual relationship before their trip to London. Maybe they knew each other as adolescents, and possibly underwent shuudou at the same time? I could see them carrying on even after Kazuma was born (Genshin was still in his teens!!), though they would have broken off the relationship before heading to London, as it was too risky due to what could happen under the harsh buggery laws. If you're looking for historical accuracy, it's possible they lived through the era of the Keikan code, which outlawed sodomy for a time in Japan (in which case, it would make sense for them to rely on each other for secrecy while satisfying their mutual physical needs).

What makes them start to explore physical pleasures together? If they're both in the shuudou system, do their nenja (their masters / tops) force them to copulate in front of a group? I'd love to see them forced into mutual non-con in any situation. Also, feel free to have them nonconned / dubconned (as you'd like) into having sex with others! Is it a punishment for the both of them, or simply greedy older mob men taking advantage of these beautiful adolescent youths? Do they serve the rest of the men in addition to copulating themselves? Who's on top, and does this become a point of contention between them later? Is this event (or many, if it happens on the regular) the catalyst for Jigoku's developing feelings towards Genshin?

Back to DGS

(child) Kazuma / Jigoku (adult)

The little hints we get about the nature of their relationship really get to me and I'm desperate to see it fleshed out some more. I get the impression that they had a close bond before the exchange proposal at least, and I would love to see it go further than just 'Jigoku as an uncle figure, his father's great friend', into physical relationship territory.

I've seen some comments mentioning that their body language looks similar, and that makes me think of the possibility that Jigoku was as much a presence in Kazuma's life as Mikotoba. They both seem hot-headed to me, leading me to wonder what other behaviours they share...

Similarly to Genshin, I like to think that Jigoku also went through shuudou training in his adolescence. Maybe he's the type to want to top, but ends up forced to bottom by Stronghart and the like? My headcanon is that he had crushes on both Genshin and Mikotoba over the years, and perhaps even indulged in a physical relationship with Genshin before they headed to London. Later on, those feelings may even have lead him to take over mentorship of Kazuma, and cross the line between friendly uncle and nenja/Kazuma's top.

I imagine Jigoku was the one to mentor Kazuma in the ways of both the judiciary and of adulthood. They're such a great fit for shuudou, which sets the stage for major feelings of betrayal once the events of Resolve occur... Jigoku topping Kazuma is a great image, but is there ever a time when Kazuma feels the need to turn the tables? Does Jigoku allow him to do so while remembering Genshin? According to shuudou norms, Jigoku should be the penetrating partner. But given Kazuma's personality, is topping used as a bargaining tool instead?

As for how Jigoku feels towards Kazuma, I wonder if he's using him as a replacement for Genshin. How does he feel when Kazuma brings up Genshin? Does the guilt eat him up inside? What about when Kazuma is presumed to be dead; does Jigoku fall apart about having lost another Asougi, and the last piece of Genshin he had? Or, is this relationship a part of Jigoku's repentance for killing Genshin?

Are they sleeping together as a condition of Jigoku's mentorship, or is it more of a romantic entanglement? Is Kazuma projecting his "daddy issues" onto his father's good friend? If you can find a reason to have him wear Jigoku's clothes, it would be so cute to see him drowning in Jigoku's oversized things, especially if copious teasing is involved!

Optional Prompts

For these two, I'm interested in seeing them engage in a mentor/student relationship - whether that be shuudou or otherwise - during Kazuma's adolescence and beyond. Who is the one to initiate the arrangement? Is Kazuma the one to insist? Or does Jigoku suggest to Mikotoba that he take over Kazuma's "training" in the way Genshin 'would have wanted'?

Scenes from Kazuma's childhood / adolescence are also wonderful. How did their sexual relationship begin, and who was the initiator? What was Jigoku's reaction to meeting a 'grownup' (read: adolescent) Kazuma for the first time upon his return home? (I assume Jigoku already served as Kazuma's uncle as a child...) How old was Kazuma when it began? (Any age is okay with me!) Does Kazuma ever grow out of their assignations and leave Jigoku behind (for Naruhodou)? Has Mikotoba caught on to their affair? What about Susato and the others? (And if so, how do they react?)

Other ideas:

• Kazuma growing disillusioned with Jigoku
• How does Kazuma feel about sleeping with a guy who's had a lifelong crush on his father?
• An altercation following the receipt of that dreaded letter accusing Genshin of being the Professor, and Jigoku's subsequent (poor) lies to cover it all up
• Does Stronghart know about their relations?
• On a lighter note, it would be fun to see Kazuma going to Jigoku for advice about daily matters or even better, about Ryuunosuke
• Any excuse to see Kazuma drowning in Jigoku's oversized clothes, especially if there is teasing involved!

Back to DGS

(child) Genshin / Any Male Adult(s)

You could take this any way you want to! Here are some ideas:

Genshin, while growing up in the late Edo period & training as a young samurai, goes through with shuudou (samurai pederasty) and is xconned (repeatedly?) by his nenja (his mentor / top). Is this just the usual state of affairs? Was he so unlucky as to end up with a cruel master? Does his nenja force him to please many different men other than himself? I'd absolutely love for Jigoku to also be involved~ (More on this under Genshin / Jigoku above.)

Alternatively, Genshin being double-teamed (by his nenja, a family member, someone from a neighbouring clan? You name it!) and forced into copulating with a woman against his will. Is he held down while she is made to climb on top of him? You get the idea! I'd love for this to be how Kazuma was conceived~ meaning Genshin is coerced into marrying his future wife after impregnating her outside of wedlock. He was only 18/19 when Kazuma was born!! What if the physical relationship started when he was underage......

If you're interested in a "Genshin gets raped" take:
I do see Genshin as the resilient, resourceful type who is typically able to make things turn out in his favour at the end of the day, though I'm sure the trauma runs deep... (Maybe Genshin grows unable to come unless aggressed, due to his formative sexual experiences??)

Give me alll the extreme stuff here! Gangrape & multiple penetration, fucking him until he loses control of his bowels, knifeplay with their samurai swords (or even Karuma?!), nose hooks, shibari, ishidaki, you name it!

Re: Genshin's TEEN marriage,
Regardless of the approach you choose to take, I would prefer that Genshin's marriage not be treated as a love marriage, and his relationship with his wife not a romantic one at any point. As for the issue of adultery, I don't believe it would have been a terribly big worry (as it was acceptable for Genshin to have other relationships (esp. with younger men) outside of his marriage, per samurai traditions), but if you'd like to give him mental anguish over the matter anyways, that would be fine!

Back to DGS

(child) Genshin / Any Original Male Child(ren)

Similar to the above, maybe this time around, Genshin is forced to partake in sexual acts with others (who aren't Jigoku) of his age. Are they his friends? Wannabe bullies? Is Genshin overpowered (and that's why he learned to fight so well)? Or is this something born out of obligation?

OR... was Genshin looking for someone likeminded to share experiences with, once Edo turned to Meiji and male / male relationships were beginning to be looked down upon...?

I love this wacky cast of crazy sweethearts from the bottom of my heart. I enjoy reading about them in all settings — from solving crazy mysteries to (rare) quiet, domestic settings. Of course, feel free to throw in some canon-typical horror / violence / insanity :D I wouldn’t mind some darker fic (along the lines of non-con, injury, death) or some emotional breakdowns and tears. If offscreen, I can deal with canon-typical levels of (body) horror. On the other end, I also love domestic fluff for the whole Hiraga (+ Roberto) family! Hurt / comfort is very suitable to this canon, as is any degree of angst. I also enjoy AUs, whether they be canon divergence only or things like Soulmate AU / Omegaverse. In other words, anything goes!

I enjoy how this series is intellectually stimulating (I'm a huge mystery fan!), while balancing out domestic fluff, existential angst, and whump. I came for the religious aesthetic, promises of early music, and the two male leads whom I thought might be ship-worthy. I stayed despite the horror tag because of the promise of something more to Hiraga & Roberto’s relationship, even if it turned into a decade-long slow burn. Roberto’s arc (the Sofuma trip) is probably my most favourite arc ever, and I knew from the moment it wrapped up that this fandom would become a lifelong obsession. Aside from the two protagonists, my next-favourite character is Hiraga Jin (Hiraga’s father).

P.S.: I’m both an anime watcher and a novel reader, so any canon / characters are fine by me! I’ve read most of the novels, and so I would be delighted to see anyone from the extensive cast.

(child | adult) Hiraga / Roberto (adult | child)

I adore how the Hiraga - Roberto pair interacts, how codependent their dynamic is and how much they care for one another. Pining and miscommunication is par for the course with them, despite being literal super geniuses. I’m very into the contrast between the two: Hiraga’s innocence and naivety versus Roberto’s maturity and jadedness, the size difference and contrasting specialties, their colour schemes, and more. Go wild with anything - crazy cases, danger at the Vatican, relaxing days off, breaking vows…

I love how Roberto is such a mess (said with affection). He’s book smart and super capable all around - a true Renaissance man - but he somehow turns into an absolute idiot when it comes to his own safety and just everything Hiraga. He might as well walk around wearing a giant sign saying “Hiraga is my biggest weakness. I would break my vows and die for him” in flashing neon lights (though he wouldn’t because what a terrible aesthetic that would be). Hiraga would also not survive without him, since he basically runs Hiraga’s domestic life. I enjoy how he cooks as stress relief and relentlessly chases after knowledge. I’m smitten with his self-destructiveness and self-hatred. Roberto whump scenes will never not be my favourite.

Hiraga is also a genius mess, without the same deep self-hatred. It’s inspiring to me how he always thinks the best of people and has love for quite literally everything. His faith is beautiful, and his admission that he would cast it aside if Ryouta died is also very telling. I suspect he is somewhere on the spectrum, as many geniuses are. Watching him hyperfixate and constantly fail to read the mood is always fun (sorry, Hiraga). Though his character has developed from how he was described in the first book, I’ll always be attached to the portrayal of him as constantly anxious and worrying about doing mundane things correctly. While being an absolute domestic mess, he would do anything for Roberto. His multiple attempts at proposals (matching brain scans, renovating his house for Roberto, searching for new recipes to try) are hilarious and make me feel a little bad for him sometimes. I adore how clueless and protective he is at times. If he ever lost Roberto, I’m certain he would fall deep into a dark pit of despair…

In terms of their ship dynamics, I'm fond of seeing their canon-typical interactions taken to the next level. Having Roberto in a caretaker/service sub-type role is always fun, and so are Hiraga's clumsy attempts to do something nice for Roberto (especially when Roberto is healed by his mere presence)! I enjoy explorations of tension wherein they're hovering on the verge of something deeper, and would absolutely love to see them break their vows outright and go for it. Also, the aftermath of said happenings is incredibly juicy, no matter where you take it!

My favourite canonical shippy moments include: the mouth-to-mouth when Hiraga feeds an unconscious Roberto water; The Suckening Scene & Roberto’s awakening; “I’ve come to love you more and more!”; anytime Roberto saves Hiraga, particularly when he’s using his body like a meat shield; when Roberto tells Hiraga that “you’re my life’s treasure”; Roberto’s many Hiraga hallucinations; Hiraga falling apart when Roberto gets kidnapped and crying; casually giving Hiraga a piggyback or carrying him on his shoulders COMPLETELY NATURALLY IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE; every single cooking scene and exchange of casual touches… There are too many to list them all!

For child!Hiraga and adult!Roberto: why not let young genius Hiraga (and consequently, a slightly-younger Roberto if you wish to keep the age gap consistent — you definitely do not have to though!) come to the Vatican a few years earlier, while he's in his teens?? Imagine, Hiraga going through all the things he does in canon... only he's YOUNGER and underdeveloped and quite possibly has some lingering teenage angst T^T Oh, the drama! The possibilities!!

Conversely, I'd also love to see some (through SCIENCE!!...?) de-aged!Roberto with an adult Hiraga~ <3 I'm a fan of this happening during / post canon, and especially with a traumatised Roberto, but whatever works for you is what I will enjoy the most!

When it comes to explicit content — If you’re up for writing penetrative sex (for these Catholic priests, I know), I lean heavily towards preferring bottom!Roberto, but have no objections about switching/reversible if that floats your boat! I have a slight obsession with seeing Roberto cry during intimacy. I’m also very into the ‘super-handsome-intelligent-attractive-brilliant-Roberto-is-a-virgin-gasp!-no-way’ thing. For this exchange, I'd prefer for them to be each other's firsts, without any prior romantic or consensual sexual experience. Having past non-con is totally fine, however (e.g. abuse by clergy members in childhood).

I'd be happy with anything from flustered adorable first-times & get-together sex to they-don't-communicate-ever crazy guilty sex! I am a HUGE fan of mutual non-con and would absolutely adore something or someone made them do it.

Optional Prompts

• I'd love to see an aged-down Hiraga! Or, Roberto and Hiraga meeting years before their canonical meeting <3 Everything's the same but Hiraga's still a 'child'? And if you'd like to pull some de-aging shenanigans, feel free! I'd love to see some little tiny Roberto too <3
• A traumatised, little Roberto goes mute again, and Hiraga must find a way to pull him out of it
• I'm really into any kind of Roberto whump, so I'd love to see him attempting to sacrifice himself for Hiraga, getting injured somehow and possibly finding himself on the brink of death... you get the gist. De-aged Roberto to the time of the Brono attack (was he three? Five? Canon contradicts itself, so please feel free to play around here) would be amazing. What did Brono *really* do to him, huh?... (Feel free to turn this mature!)
• Getting 'walked in' on in a compromising situation by Jin and / or by Ryouta!!
     Alternatively, any cast member suits :D (Bill & Elizabeth, Archbishop Saul, Lauren, Dr. Singh...) Is it a huge scandal because of the age issue on top of other... vow-and-sexuality-related taboos?
• A somehow-more-knowledgable-about-these-things-than-you-might-expect teen!Hiraga turns to BDSM to help Roberto cope with trauma & stop acting self-destructively
• ↳ OR Hiraga uses sex as a tool to keep depressed!Roberto content and alive
• Consummating their relationship whilst in the middle of an investigation
• Mutual non-con where they're forced to break their vows. I.e., bad guys made them do it, actually enabling them. Or, they vastly misinterpreted the situation. With a side of religious guilt! And possibly threats of medical experimentation.

(adult) Kou / Ryouta (child) / Roberto (adult)

It’s come to my attention that there is a severe lack of brothercest in VME - those days are no more! These two siblings clearly love each other deeply, but how deep does that love go? They have great potential for one-sided pining: Ryouta missing his brother at the Vatican, desperately waiting for a visit or to go home, Ryouta finding himself crushed when Hiraga & Roberto announce their relationship, Hiraga’s love reaching twisted and inappropriate depths that he only thinks about in the dead of the night (maybe he thinks Ryouta and Roberto are similar?), Hiraga going so far to save Ryouta because of how much he loves him… the possibilities are endless!

And as an extension of the above: these three make for a very painful love triangle... I'd love to see any of them being jealous of the other two's closeness. Maybe Ryouta feels like Roberto took Hiraga away from him. Or, Roberto is saddened at how he can never compete with Ryouta for a place within Kou's heart. Is Kou uncharacteristically jealous at having his spot as "Ryouta's brother and no. 1 person" usurped?

On Ryouta's yearning: in a time when he's still dying, one of Ryouta's dying wishes is to sleep with both his brother and his brother's lover. The guilt Hiraga and Roberto must feel! How does it go? Is Ryouta in love with the both of them by the end of it? What if he goes on to survive... then what? Does 'dying with no regrets' turn into 'a lifetime with them'?

(child) Ryouta / Josef (adult)

These two make for an unlikely ship, but that hasn’t stopped me yet. I see so much potential in them following the events of Sinfonia / Episode 12. They share a lot of parallels: terminal illness and long-term hospitalization, pining (platonically or otherwise), the search for meaning, and so on.

I’m drawn to Ryouta's purity and his ties to the supernatural. He’s wise in a way that suggests he had to grow up too fast following Ada’s (his mother’s) death, and the appearance of the hooded figures. Knowing someone near him is meant to die soon must be such an incredible burden, especially for one so young who also has to grapple with his impending death. I see a lot of similarities with Roberto in him, especially his tendency for self-sacrifice and deep love for his older brother.

As for Josef, he also carries that same grief and desperation for meaning over his looming demise. I’m quite intrigued by how he was beloved by all during his boarding school days. He’s the mentor figure for Roberto and Ryouta, which has a lot of potential for exploration. His method of enticing Roberto to begin speaking through curiosity really raises a lot of questions for me about his personality. I wonder to what extent he embodies Hiraga’s traits too.

There’s some great potential here for ghost!Josef, or coma!Josef/amnesiac! Josef who was alive all along. They might bond over Roberto, extended hospitalization, books, and all sorts of wonderful things. What does Ryouta think of Josef and the Roberto / Hiraga situation? Do they pine after Roberto together, knowing he’s best off in Hiraga’s grasp? Or does Josef start to fall for the bits of Roberto he sees in Ryouta, and Ryouta the same re: his brother? Maybe they get over their respective crushes on Hiraga/Roberto by falling for each other. (Or maybe they just pretend to and drown their sorrows in sin (sex?). Feel free to delve into any and all sorts of wacky AUs wherein Josef protects Ryouta from death, illness, the three hooded men, etc. Alternatively, go the dark route where Ryouta finally passes from illness and Josef is there to guide him to Heaven. Maybe they bond while passing time together in the afterlife? Or maybe ghost!Josef tries to help Ryouta explore some experiences he'll never grow old enough to achieve on his own? And, can't forget about Galdoune! Are they involved in this pair's survival? Do they ever spirit them away? They would make great candidates for some medical experimentation once everyone thinks them dead...

What do Hiraga and Roberto make of this improbable pair? Maybe Roberto encourages them, believing that they're good for each other. While I DNW-ed 'past relationships', I'm okay with Roberto having had a crush on Josef. Does Hiraga get over-protective over his brother, or is he simply happy that Ryouta is living long enough to have all of these novel life experiences? Background Hiraga/Roberto would be much appreciated if you’re up for including them!

When it comes to these two and explicit content, I have no top/bottom preferences. Go wild!

Optional Prompts

• Stuff goes down at the Baden hospital…
• Ghost!Josef comforts Ryouta (in a way only he can?) <3
• Ryouta can sees ghosts/spirits, and therefore is the only one to see Josef hanging around
• Ghost hanky panky (that may or may not all be in Ryouta's head)
• Soul sharing, or Ryouta as Josef’s reincarnation. What does this mean for their connection? And for Ryouta's relationships with others (particularly Roberto...)??
• Josef is alive and becomes Ryouta's confidant. Do Roberto and the Hiragas find out eventually? What sort of secrets does Ryouta confide in him? (Clearly he’s an adult by now, but feel free to play around with hospitalization regulations or have Josef be cured already.)
• One day, Ryouta is kidnapped by Galdoune for experimentation purposes, and meets Josef, author of the journal he found in the hospital library. What happens to them, and what are they forced to do...? Perhaps they undergo rather unfortunate experiences together... >.<
• Either Ryouta or Josef have to take a 'special' medication to manage their cancers, and it has *certain* side effects...

(child) Roberto / Brono Puccini (adult)

Brought to you by the intense desire to see Roberto even more damaged by murderdad than he was in canon.

What if he took out his "aggressions" on poor little Roberto after murdering his wife? A while back, there was talk of 'castrated Roberto', and I would be very willing to see some more of that! (Not a DNW!)

Alternatively, perhaps he survives, and encounters Roberto once more in a canon divergence take on Satan's Judgement (the Sofuma arc). (Is this de-aged Roberto? A very messy timeline in which kid!Roberto and Hiraga are off somewhere together? Or something else entirely?) As Roberto's (or both of their) memories return, tensions escalate between the two. How does Brono force him down in the end? Is Julia (and his clone?) involved? What's Bill up to throughout all of this, and most importantly: How does Hiraga save the day??
