This series has forever changed my world and has been driving me insane for the past year. 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/platonic/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!

Formats requested: fanfiction, fanvids

If you are interested in creating a fanvid for any of these pairings, that would be wild!! Usually, I would be interested in Japanese music for the soundtrack, but given that many of these characters are English, I would be equally happy to hear some English-language backing music as well~ I'm not a big fan of electronic music. Classical music works wonderfully: while they live in the Romantic Era, if you want to include Baroque music (because of Barok~) or anything classical/expressionist, that works great! If you'd like to use their canonical voice-overs, I would prefer the original Japanese as opposed to the English dubbed lines.

Note on 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. (As an aside, I also believe Jigoku and Kazuma might have had similar experiences.)

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

Genshin / Barok / Klint

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. He really strikes me as a definite bottom, 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).

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

Optional Prompts

Barok makes it to Klint’s office before he dies, and the three of them say goodbye together
Casual sword fights outside behind the manor. Training each other in foreign Western/Eastern styles
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.
Introducing London’s sights to Genshin! What kinds of foods do they bring him? What kinds of social functions must he endure?
Klint and Barok hear about Genshin’s experiences with shuudou, and grow eager to try it out for themselves.
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.
Ghost threesome sex that may or may not lead to a resurrection 👻
Depressed!Barok attempts suicide (does he succeed?) and sees Klint/ Genshin again. Or, he specifically goes through with it in order to see them again. Does this happen right after the Professor case? During his 5 year absence from the courtroom (or could it be the reason for his absence)? Post-canon and the Klint reveal? Maybe Barok can’t forgive himself for prosecuting Genshin, sham trial or not.
Genshin introduces the brothers to Japanese traditions, whether it be language, holidays, paraphernalia, and more. They are very, very curious. I’d love to see them nerding out over Genshin’s undergarments (his fundoshi)!!
Sex as stress relief
Slave Setting: Following the 'Professor is Klint' reveal 10 years ago, Klint's life is spared and he is not taken into custody. Instead, Klint is subject to the mercy of his lovers, and he takes it upon himself to become their sex slave + submissive as punishment and recompense. Not wanting to entertain Klint's suicidal ideation anymore, Barok and Genshin must reluctantly go along with this new state of affairs as a last resort, using pleasure and erotic pain as tools to distract him from having anymore dark, murderous thoughts.
Any twist on the Professor case wherein it was a ruse all along, and Barok is spared from endless grief. An Everybody lives! AU
Angst over Klint’s impending wedding leads to difficult discussions about their future as lovers and partners
Barok, alone, mourning over his lovers. Maybe this is during the 10-year gap? Post-canon? Immediately after the execution? Maybe he goes through their things, old prints and paintings, wears their clothes, etc.
A day (or multiple) in the life of Director of Prosecutions Klint van Zieks, his judicial assistant Barok, and their detective partner, the foreigner Asougi. What case are they on? Do Holmes & Mikotoba make an appearance? How about their other colleagues?

Genshin / Barok / Klint / Kazuma

In addition to the dynamics described above, I would be thrilled to see Kazuma join in as their fourth. Depending on the context you choose, I could imagine this happening in many different ways.

Does Kazuma join his father on the journey to London, or make the trip himself several years later? What happens to the Professor case - is it averted, or does Klint simply survive the outcome? Otherwise, are Klint and Genshin somehow around post-canon (whether it be through resurrection, a "they were alive all along" -type scenario, or some kind of canon divergence)?

I'm also interested in seeing the age-gap mentorships in this little polygon explored. Particularly Klint and Genshin mentoring Barok and Kazuma - in addition to Barok mentoring Kazuma.

Given the Asougi family's samurai history, they may have experience with shuudou (Japanese pederasty, often romanised as "shudō"), which could be very fun to explore!

While I definitely imagine them all in love with one another, I also like interpretations where Kazuma joins them as he feels "left out" more than anything. Whether or not the relationship between him and Genshin is romantic, or simply platonic love + sex for bonding purposes or simply a pleasurable pastime, is up to you.

Feel free to take any of the above prompts and adapt them so that Kazuma is involved! Maybe they have ghost sex? Or spend some time outside practicing swordplay? What about "cultural exchange" and sharing stories or forming new experiences? What of Iris?

Asougi Kazuma / Jigoku Seishirou / Naruhodou Ryuunosuke

This is a very interesting combination that I can see going multiple ways! Perhaps Kazuma and Jigoku were a thing before Ryuunosuke came into Kazuma's life. How do they work out an agreement to share him? Are they aware of the other's existence/presence in Kazuma's life? Does Jigoku walk in on Kazuma with his new partner, or vice versa?? Otherwise, is it a one-time (two-time, x-time) thing that happens around Ryuunosuke's trial during 1-1? I could also see them meeting up in London towards the end of Resolve. Canon divergence is certainly welcome!

In terms of Kazuma and Jigoku, I can see them as having a mentor/student relationship with a little "extra" :D whether there is romance involved or they're simply having fun is up to you. I'm sure Genshin's existence plays a significant role in their relationship too... I'm a big fan of shuudou (pederastic relationships between samurai and those they take under their wing) for these two as well~

When it comes to Ryuunosuke & Kazuma, while I'm certain that they do both hold romantic feelings for one another, I'm happy to see them also in a friends-with-benefits-type situation if you'd prefer that they have yet to make their feelings known. Maybe now that Kazuma's all grown up, he's moved on from Jigoku (or not)? Or perhaps something happened after the speech contest that kick-started a whole new dynamic between them?

Jigoku and Ryuunosuke are mainly connected through Kazuma, and I'd be interested in how they get along with or without him around. Is it awkward from Ryuunosuke's side while Jigoku carries the conversation? Or, do they start bonding while spitroasting Kazuma? 😂 The possibilities are endless!

For these three I have no particular top/bottom preference! If you go with shuudou, "technically" Jigoku is supposed to be the one topping but feel free to play around with that - maybe Jigoku, deep down inside, wants Kazuma to top because he reminds him of Genshin, or something?

Benjamin Dobinbough | Albert Harebrayne / Sherlock Holmes / Barok van Zieks

I'm happy to see either "Benjamin" or "Albert" used here!

I find it very funny that Barok has a soft spot for blond scientists-types xD It's just one of his many tastes (along with men from the east with truth-seeking eyes, or literally anyone who reminds him of his brother >.>) The combination of Holmes & Albert | Benjamin is always entertaining. Albert, deeply admiring and looking up to these two; Holmes, stringing everyone who shows even the slightest interest along for the ride; what a trio they make!

I'd love to see something set post canon! Do these two help him along his path to recovery with some, ahem, stimulation...? Given that these two excel (or at least, make attempts) in coming up with their own inventions, how about a device/concoction to cure Barok's melancholia? Or do they attempt to give him a way to forget and stop feeling so down all the time? What if they accidentally manage to de-age him - whether that be physically, mentally or both...? Accidentally inducing amnesia is something I can definitely see these two wacky inventors doing by accident... I also love the idea of them being stuck with a younger, tinier Barok~ I'm sure Iris would have a blast with that too!

Or, way back in their university days - did they ever engage in some youthful experimentation together? Were they perhaps acquainted in passing? Feel free to diverge from canon if you're interested in building a more meaningful relationship between Holmes & Albert | Benjamin.

If you're up for writing explicit content, I have a preference for bottom Barok & bottom Holmes - though I'd also be fine with seeing Holmes avoid any penetration period. And yay for awkward, fumbling, not-so-experienced top!Albert!!

THE HARDY BOYS

DNWs

Amputation/Dismemberment or permanent loss of body parts (eyes, teeth, etc.)
Body Modification

Gore
Non-canonical gender identity headcanons
Vore

I've been a fan of this series for decades, and was recently shocked upon discovering that there is a dearth of slash content *that I can find for these brothers; how could that be?! I aim to rectify this immediately :D

While this is a mystery series and I do adore casefic, I'd be equally happy with receiving something more domestic, or relationship-focused; anything about the Hardy men, really!

In terms of general dynamics, I like Frank to be the outwardly level-headed, internally worrying brother. Maybe he's more realistic about their relationship, and his natural introversion gives him a tendency to hold back. I would love to see him on the receiving end of whump, for once! I adore bottom Frank <3

On the other hand, I enjoy seeing Joe portrayed as the one pursuing Frank more aggressively. Maybe he's comparatively open about coveting his brother? Feel free to lean in to his impetuous, extraverted, perhaps slightly more aggressive side! I'd be thrilled to see him topping Frank with his shorter, broader stature :D

Meanwhile, for Fenton, I'm happy to see him as his usual caring self. TV Tropes describes him as a "Standard 50's Father", which I can definitely see. I love it when he gets whumped, or even better, forced to watch/participate in the hurt of his sons :D

When it comes to their canonical relationships:

The girlfriends (Callie and Iola) can be hand-waved, treated as 'only friends', or even beards (they may or may not be in the know, they might assume it's for undercover purposes). I'd prefer if they never had sexual experience with the boys, so that the brothers can spend their first times together.

As for Fenton's marriage, feel free to treat it as the plot requires! I have no preferences either way :D

Optional Prompts

Are the brothers in an established relationship, or still in the pining/getting together phases? It would be great to see Joe convincing Frank to deepen their relationship despite his initial reluctance and clear reciprocation. How does Fenton fit in - is he a part of the relationship, or is he forced to interact with them otherwise by the bad guys?

What happens when it's time for Frank to depart for college? Is uni (for one or both brothers) a good chance to allow their relationship to progress, or does it split them apart from their father? Is Frank set on moving out of guilt over his attraction to Joe & dad, and Joe is desperate to follow, out of loneliness or something more?

What's Fenton's stance on the situation? I'd be very interested in seeing something where he (and perhaps the rest of the family) discover(s) the brothers' intimate relationship. Had he figured them out long ago, and did he turn a blind eye? Or does he only understand (and is pained by) the extent of their closeness once they move away? How do Laura and/or Aunt Gertrude react?

Canon loves to get Joe in trouble, so for once Frank can be the one who gets whumped! If the situation calls for it, it would be fun to see outsiders (friends, family, their aggressors) commenting on their 'brotherly/fatherly' relationship, or maybe even (coming close to) finding them out. The thought of Frank and Joe having to sneak around Fenton before he reveals to them that he knows is particularly funny to me; on the other hand, it's a great setup for angst if he's pulled in through a mutual dub/non-con scenario...

I can never get enough of hurt Frank, though hurt Fenton is a close second. And of course, situations where all three are in trouble are just as delicious. The hurt does not have to be physical, either (despite this canon's propensity for kidnapping and assault)! Maybe they end up being put through the emotional wringer instead?

Mutual non-con is another delicious approach to take! I'd be thrilled to see this with Fenton forced to watch, and even worse, participate?! (Top/Bottom Fenton welcome!)

Oh no, what happened to Dad (again)?!
Angsting over a family member who is presumed to be dead

I've used the original (Japanese) names here in my letter, but I wouldn't mind receiving a work with the localised names from the 90's dub if that's what you prefer. Feel free to include background ships and any character(s) from the full cast. I'd also prefer that the Shitennou keep their original names instead of having them replaced by civilian names. Of course, go ahead and gloss over outsiders' terms of address towards them if that's easiest.

Note: I'm familiar with the manga and original 90s anime. I have yet to catch up on the entirety of Crystal, nor have I consumed all of the musicals.

On my latest rewatch, I realised just how badly Mamoru must be pining for his former retainers. What must it be like for him to see the Senshi constantly rallying around Usagi; does it remind him of his own loss? I'd love to see Mamoru yearning for the days when his men carefully and lovingly served their precious Crown Prince. And it would be great to see the Shitennou as a group to serve or collectively take care of their precious King.

Endymion | Mamoru
Mamoru, that poor guy, always gets brainwashed! I have no preferences for how he is portrayed, and which position he winds up in. I'm always curious to see how the part of him that remembers and resists dark influence wars with his brainwashed side and fights to take back control.

When it comes to Usagi | Serenity, I'm alright with having Mamoru in love with her/in a relationship with her if you'd like. If you choose to go the cheating route, that's also fine with me! My one caveat is that I'd like to avoid any confrontations between the two of them on the topic, on or off-screen. Feel free to go the open relationship route as well.

Shitennou
I'm especially interested in how age and hierarchy play a role in their interactions. The Materials Collection describes the four thusly:

Kunzite (25-26)
Nephrite (19)
Jadeite (18)
Zoicite (16-17)

No need to set these ages in stone! But I imagine that Kunzite and Zoicite give off the feeling of being much older/younger when compared to Mamoru, Nephrite and Jadeite, who "feel" closer in age (and possibly maturity as well).

** I've noticed that some translations mistakenly claim that the Materials Collection states that Kunzite/Zoicite are in a relationship. I've checked the Japanese version, which states that ' Kunzite dotes on Zoicite '. ** I'd be happy to see them as treating each other special and having Zoicite be the spoiled younger sibling type, however, I'd prefer that the relationships between them and their prince take priority (as opposed to the Shitennou pairing off at all times)
I don't mean to sound pedantic, but the original Japanese also states that the height difference goes Kunzite > Nephrite > Zoicite = Jadeite (roughly the same), while fan translations purport that Zoicite is 'taller' and Jadeite is the shortest. It won't ruin the work for me by any means if you choose not to follow this description! On the other hand, I'd be thrilled to receive something following the aforementioned details.

Notes on Smut likes
Depending on how you choose to write them, I'm fine with any of the men topping/bottoming/switching. If they do mix things up, I'd be happy to see the younger two (Zoicite and Jadeite) remain on the bottom at times for Endymion | Mamoru or for the elder Shitennou.

Optional Prompts

It takes time for Mamoru to recover his memories of the Silver Millennium (maybe with Helios's assistance?); but when he does, he's assaulted with confusing images of men he thought to be their enemies. Why does he long for them so? What did they mean to him, and how can he get them back?
Under Beryl's command, the Shitennou kidnap Mamoru and attempt to brainwash him with Chaos using physical means
Mamoru possesses "The Healing Cock", and (with Helios' guidance?) makes his way through his former men one-by-one to bring them back to the light.
The purified Shitennou beg Mamoru for forgiveness and attempt to make amends.
A lonely Mamoru insists upon resurrecting his Shitennou. The Senshi have mixed reactions. (Helios might be required to complete the process, given his connection to both Elysion and the crystal.)
The Shitennou spoil their crown prince and lover on a memorable occasion during the Silver Millennium

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 along the way. 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.

Hiraga Josef Kou / Roberto Nicholas / Josef Lycolas Bartridge

Roberto and the Josefs!! I'm so curious as to what the dynamics of this relationship would look like. Is Josef yet another brother figure, who insists upon taking care of both Roberto and Hiraga? Or has he grown weak from his illness and winds up being the one doted upon?? In terms of Josef's status (is he a ghost or a spirit? has he been resurrected somehow? or perhaps he never died in the first place?), feel free to come up with any possible solution! I'm more than happy to see full-fledged AUs as well, as opposed to simply canon divergence.

If you're up for writing explicit content about these three, I would love to see some bottom Roberto taking both of his lovers at the same time... >///<

If Josef is returning to the picture after Hiraga/Roberto have been established, how does Hiraga feel about is presence? Can he grow to love anyone Roberto loves, especially someone who shares the same many traits? Or does he struggle with jealousy around having to share Roberto with his first love? I'd love to see an exploration of Hiraga's insecurities too here, and what that means for his relationship with Josef. I also wonder if he has any complex about being compared to the "original" Josef of Roberto's dreams (does he think he's an inferior copy?). And Roberto, oh Roberto! Is he overcome with guilt over not being able to choose one of them, and putting the Josefs in an awkward position? But how could he choose only one of them at all!

And how about established (perhaps simply friends with crushes if not a proper relationship) JoseRobe meeting and falling for Hiraga? Is Roberto the sole one to fall, and Josef goes along with it to please him, coming to appreciate Hiraga in his own time? Does he notice Roberto's crush and take measures to recruit Hiraga first? What does Hiraga feel about these two tall, intelligent men who are suddenly bent on seducing him? Is he into it or all he wanted was friends??
I'm curious about whether they meet at the Vatican, (or) as priests, or elsewhere - during university?

I'm also interested in the relationship between Josef & Ryouta. Maybe Ryouta is the one to bring them together, through his hospital stay or otherwise? It would be hilarious to see Ryouta crushing on all three of these older men...(possibly including his brother)

Hiraga Jin / Hiraga Josef Kou / Roberto Nicholas

This is such an intriguing pairing and I'm so curious as to how it might have come about. On one hand, it could be a product of widower Jin suffering from loneliness, hence Kou invites him to join he and Roberto.... on the other, perhaps it's a mutual non-con scenario? Galdoune sure loves to take advantage of Hiraga's family....anyways, go wild!! I would be thrilled to see absolutely any interpretation!
