Fandom-Specific Prompts
These prompts are mostly for inspiration. Feel free to twist, tweak, or run away with any idea you like. You're also welcome to take prompts from one fandom and apply it to another if you think it fits.

Ballroom e Youkoso
I really really enjoyed this show, and Chinatsu is such a wonderful character. In terms of ships, I think I prefer her with Tatara or Akira, but I wouldn't mind if you'd rather pair her with Shizuku. I'm also down with solo character studies, or platonic fic.

Here are some prompts for this lovely girl:

• Chinatsu and Tatara are up-and-coming pairs figure skaters or ice dancers who have been making waves in the skating world. Everyone knew they were good, but no one quite realized how good until they perform at the Olympics.
• In order to fulfill her dream of becoming a knight (or samurai?), Chinatsu decides to disguise herself as a man and join the royal guard. Everything is going great—until one person discovers her secret. Is it Princess Hanaoka Shizuku? Fellow warrior-in-training Fujita Tatara? Or perhaps it's the noblewoman Koumoto Akira?
• Alternatively: Mulan AU
• She's the Man AU or Twelfth Night AU, staring Chinatsu
• Club dancing! (Please age up appropriately if you decide to go certain places with this.)
• Any character study about Chinatsu being sapphic.
• Chinatsu looking up to Hongou Chizuru as a mentor and getting advice/support. Maybe she has a cute little crush on Hongou? (Please don't have Hongou reciprocate this crush tho)

Free!
This show will always have a very special place in my heart. Technically, it's the first sports anime I ever watched I guess?

For the characters I requested, I like these pairings:

• Nitori/Rin
• Gou/Seijuurou 
• platonic Samezuka squad
• platonic Iwatobi squad

...And here are some prompts, for your perusal:

• How the fuck does Nitori survive rooming with someone as hot as Rin for an entire year? Enter: hot roommate shenanigans. Pining ensues.
• Nitori is a barista at a local coffee shop. The last thing he expects is for famous celebrity Matsuoka Rin to dive behind his counter while hiding from paparazzi. It definitely doesn't help that Nitori has been harboring a crush on Rin for as long as he can remember.
• Nitori goes to the Olympics
• Gou and Seijuurou are both famous celebrities from different areas of stardom. They have the biggest crushes on each other but for some reason, neither of them think the other will notice them. Cue lots of fangirl/fanboying and maybe some social media shenanigans.
• Role reversal where Gou is on the girl's swimming team and Seijuurou is the manager
• Samezuka squad shenanigans
• Iwatobi squad shenanigans
• Keijo AU (preferably not gender/cis-swapped)

Haikyuu!!
I love these dumb kids!!! I know I've included a lot of characters in the request, but you definitely don't have to include all of them in a fill, because that would be really fuckin hard haha.

Here's some pairings/relationships I like:

• Kageyama/Hinata
• Tanaka/Noya
• Tanaka/Hinata
• Kiyoko/Yachi
• Yamaguchi/Yachi
• Bokuto/Kuroo
• Bokuto/Akaashi
• Hinata Shouyou & Hinata Natsu
• Tanaka Ryuunosuke & Tanaka Saeko
• Platonic Karasuno First Years squad
• (honestly any platonic pairing is great)

And here are some ideas! Feel free to apply the ideas to different characters, if you want.

• Anything where Kageyama is a fuckin gay mess is honestly great. "I like Hinata... the same way I like volleyball.... what is happening to me..."
• Kageyama and Hinata are 3rd years, and all their kouhai are convinced that they're dating. In reality, they're both idiots and don't realize they're in love with each other.
• Alternatively, Kageyama and Hinata are dating, and they're not trying to hide it, but no one notices
• Hinata and Tanaka cuddle and play Mario Kart and maybe they pine a bit?
• Some guy hits on Yachi, and Kiyoko immediately pretends to be Yachi's girlfriend. (or vice versa). Shenanigans ensue.
• Kiyoko is a literal goddess, and Yachi is the only one who knows
• The Handmaiden-style AU with rich heiress Kiyoko and handmaiden Yachi
• Bokuto is a reporter/paparazzi/marketing person or something, and Akaashi is a famous superstar. They both think the other is really fucking hot but have no idea how to break the barrier of professionalism.
• Bokuto and Kuroo  (or maybe Tanaka and Noya?) are parts of neighboring rival frats. Maybe they get drunk and start doing body-shots off each other? Maybe it takes them a while to realize that their bromance is actually really fuckin gay? Maybe they have to keep their relationship secret and keep sneaking through each others' windows? 
• Alternatively: frat cinderella AU where they meet at a frat party at one of their houses and one of them has to leave to study for a midterm the next day and accidentally leaves their Adidas sandal at the party
• Karasuno plays some party games—spin the bottle, cards against humanity, truth or dare, 7 minutes in heaven, human twister, whatever. 
• The Karasuno first years are an unlikely group of thieves working together to pull off a heist. 
• ADHD Hinata and autistic Kageyama?
• Tanaka babysits Natsu. Cuteness ensues. Maybe Natsu accidentally spills the beans about her brother's crushes?
• Alternatively, literally any character babysitting Natsu, because I realized this prompt is fuckin god-tier
• Tanaka and Saeko sibling bonding

Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun
This show!!! I love it so much, you have no idea. Honestly any pairing, any character combo is fuckin awesome, fuck me up dude.

Here's a list of some ideas:

• Zaizen realizes he's crushing on Aoyama but doesn't know how to tell him. Shenanigans ensue.
• An MMO AU where the gang are a guild in an online fantasy RPG
• Atsumu decides to branch out and starts a romance series. It takes him a while to realize how closely the protagonist and love interest parallel him and Aoyama, but once he notices it's hard to go back.
• Literally anything that explores Odagiri and Aoyama's relationship, platonic or otherwise
• AU where Aoyama is a pro soccer player and Zaizen is his trainer/nutritionist/social media assistant/idk. Maybe some pining happens?
• Any two characters having a platonic day out—making food together, watching a movie, playing video games, gossiping, painting each other's nails, doing each other's hair, whatever.
• What does Aoyama look like flirting?

Ookiku Furikabutte
Oh my god, this show is seriously one of my favorites because it's just! So cute!! The main pairing I'm interested here is going to be Abe/Mihashi, but I'm also very, very down with platonic Nishiura shenanigans. 

Some prompts:

• Abe and Mihashi slowly but surely learn how to communicate with each other better while being mutually supportive (i cryyyy)
• Mihashi is an artist or photographer, and even if he has trouble telling Abe how he feels, his pictures really do speak a thousand words.
• Through some magic/sci-fi bullshit (idk), Mihashi and Abe are now in some sort of mind reading, mind melding scenario where they know each others' thoughts. Do secret crushes get revealed? How does this affect their ability to communicate? So many possibilities!
• Fandom AU where Mihashi is sort of a big-name fanfic writer (maybe he writes Daiya fanfic? lol) but he thinks all his fics are bad because of a few flame reviews. After going on hiatus for a bit, he somehow starts chatting with Abe (a beta/fan-artist/idk you choose) who is a fan of Mihashi's writing and does his very best to convince Mihashi that he really is a good writer. Cute stuff ensues.
• Mihashi and Abe try to hide their relationship from the team and either succeed miraculously or fail spectacularly (you pick)
• The Nishiura Baseball Team is actually an unlikely team of rookie thieves working together to pull off a heist

Yuri!!! on Ice
What kind of gay sports weeb would I be if I didn't enjoy this show? 

My favorite pairings are:

• Viktor/Yuuri Katsuki
• Yuri Plisetsky/Otabek
• Sara/Mila
• Isabella/JJ

Here are some prompts:

• By some weird magic or something, Yuri Plisetsky is cursed to only be able to tell the truth. Shenanigans ensue. This would be especially cute with some accidental Yuribek confessions but gen is also great.
• Mindmelding, somehow. Maybe it's Yuuri and Viktor across long distances? Maybe it's Otabek and Yuri and some awkward confessions come out idk. 
• DJ Otabek
• Isabella is an Olympic hockey player and JJ is so proud of her
• How did JJ and Isabella meet?
• MilaSara AU based off the Telephone music video with Lady Gaga and Beyonce
• Any hockey AU, honestly. Maybe Mila used to be a hockey player before she turned to figure skating? Maybe Yuri uses the sport to let out some of that pent-up aggression? Maybe Viktor likes getting body checked by Yuuri a little too much? Idk, run with it in whatever direction you like.
• Somehow, Yuuri is stuck on a plane next to Viktor fucking Nikiforov, famous popstar/celebrity and also Yuuri's childhood crush. Does he come clean about being a fan? Does he try to hide it?
• Role reversal where Yuuri is the highly decorated figure skater and Viktor Nikiforov is the one in need of a coach.
• Viktor and Yuuri engage in some good ol' mutual long-distance thirsting. It's up to you whether it's established relationship or not

NSFW Options
I'll keep this list short, but here's a quick run down on some options if you really wanna write some porn.

• The explosive resolution of Unresolved Sexual Tension
• Femdom (especially pegging)
• Role reversals (i.e. characters that are typically written as being submissive/etc being dominant/etc, and vice versa)
• Sex comedy
• Kink negotiation
• Kink discovery
• Horribly timed sexting
• Sexual frustration
• Arguing/banter during sex
• Wall kissing/sex/whatever
• Praise kink
• Any character getting completely and totally #wrecked

Thanks for reading through my letter! Sorry that it's so fuckin long. I definitely don't blame you if you'd rather just skim. :) Happy interhigh!
