Dear Valentine letter

Dear Valentide writer,
Thank you so much for attempting to write a fic for me! I'm sure I will love it anyways, but here are some details about what I like/dislike, in case you like to do your research.
First off, I would rather receive a fic that the author was enthusiastic about than one that fulfilled every detail of my request. These are guidelines meant to help you, not to cage you.
I am open to both plot-driven stories and character pieces. Plot with porn is fine and fun, but I am OK with stories without sex! I generally prefer lighthearted stories, That said, I love good angst - as long as it ends happily. No 'hurt' without 'comfort'. So no pain-filled death stories, pretty please. I love romantic story, but I need realism even in my mush.I like stories with: amnesia, action/adventure, alternative universes, banter, capture and rescue, competence, crossover, dominance and submission, the edge between civilization and the unknown, formation of friendship, history affecting the present, humour, hurt/comfort, longing, matchmaker, love or friendship expressed in atypical ways, moral ambiguity, opposite attraction, outsider POV, people telling stories, people who have each other 's backs, people who flat out like each other's company, people suffering stoically, power exchange, resolve, secret identity (or lack of it), strong and competent characters, sense memory, time travel, traveling.
In a rare case you have not yet given up on my rambling and want to research me more, I told more about what I like here.
Seriously, If you go the AU route-- or just in general-- please don't worry too much about making everything fit exactly into canon. I am *not* going to be super-picky about what happened when, or which characters were doing what during whatever event.
I don't particularly like: mpreg, soul-bonding or "destiny" in terms of romance, excessive possessiveness and/or jealousy portrayed as healthy or romantic, "we're not gay we just love each other," first person narration, graphic violence, torture, deadfic, heavy illness (e.g. cancer or AIDS), rape/noncon, unrelenting angst, hardcore kink, self-harm, incest or faux-incest, religion bashing, major public embarrassment, and/or female-character-bashing-- including dialogues like "Don't be such a girl," and so on.

RequestDetail1:Anything would be great! I'm totally okay with gen or femslash. I like story focusing on friendship, or first times, romance, established relationships-- stories with no sex unless they are age-up please-- I like missing scenes and stuff that takes place before, or after canon-- I like when characters sit and think by themselves.I like when they go on adventures. If you would like a prompt, what about a story that explores the mystery behind Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master? Or a story detailing Kuroi Mato and Takanashi Yomi's relationship with a lot of angst, pining and a hopeful ending? Or a story that explores the double identity?
Extended Request:
Black Rock Shooter is a 50 minute anime that details the school drama that two girls making friends and drifting apart, interceded with the fight between Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master in an alternative dimension. I like the real life part of the anime for the light angst, the believable characters and dialogue while I'm intrigued by the fight between Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master. I want to know more about the mythology of them. Who are they? Why do they need to fight? What are their relation to the real life story line? Do they fight by choice or forced by some outside force? There are so much mystery and I would like more exploration. It's also fine if you want only to explore either of the story line. An emotional reconciliation between Mato and Yomi is as welcome as Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master's fight.

I like story focusing on friendship, or first times, romance, established relationships-- stories with no sex, story with sex-- I like missing scenes and stuff that takes place before, or after canon-- I like when characters sit and think by themselves.I like when they go on adventures. If you would like a prompt, what about a first meeting of the characters? What about their view of the canon event?
Extended Request:
Lost Odyssey's a JRG game that features four immortals's journey to recover lost memory, thrust into a world on the verge of all-out war. My favorite part of this game was the Thousand Years of Dreams, and I want another dream, another memory of people's daily lives as seen through the characters's eyes. Or if that doesn't strike you, then I'd like something expanding on one of the previous dreams. They're all beautiful and I'd like seeing more of any of them. The Thousand Years of Dreams are stand-alone stories that happened long before the events of the game. There is no backstory needed. So if you are stuck on one of the other prompts, go to youtube, search for A Thousand Years of Dreams, find one that strikes your fancy, and run with it.

Extended Request:
I like that the series 's full of female relationships and the girls are fighting for something bigger than themselves and they know it. If you want more prompts, what about :
How the war experience changes them; how they adapt to the loss of power.
A scene set just before or after a battle; adrenaline, duty, worry.
World building: Anything you want to me more about their worlds?

Extended Request: I love sentai. I love cop shows. It's easy ro see why I love it. You can go the serious route to examine how being a sensei and a space police officer really imply, or you can go the crack way. Give me the buddy cop film common tropes. Go wild!
