[valiantbarnes]

I'm ValiantBarnes (Cimila) over on AO3 and whatever you gift to me for this exchange will make me happy! This honestly ridiculously long list below can be thrown out the window, should you like! Have fun!! For pairings which don't have anything below them, it's not that I like them any less, it's just that I don't have any particular ideas at this time! The amount of rambling below something is in no way an indication of preference.

DNW's: Major character death of requested characters ● watersports ● scat ● vomit as kink ● graphic depictions of pregnancy/birth ● character bashing ● unhappy endings ● cancer/terminal illnesses ● genderbenders or cisswaps ● sex taking place in public bathrooms/toilet stalls ● characters de-aged/age regression ● use of ‘whore/prostitute’ in dirty talk ● voyerism of an uninvited/unwanted third party ● coming out based angst ● child and animal abuse

Short list of things I like: (more in depth can be found in my most recent Yuletide letter here)

Fake relationship ● undercover for some reason ● secret relationship ● loyalty kink ● loyalty kink taken too far or inverted! ● possessiveness ● competence ● magical realism ● dark humour ● murder for fun and profit ● fuck or die shenanigans ● casual body horror from non human characters ● dubcon ● power dynamics/imbalance ● size kink ● strength kink ● sadomasochism ● violence and gore ● biting + marking ● happy endings ● knife play ● cultural miscommunication ● 

Upon reflection, half of these pairings are just: Loyalty Kink. 

反黑路人甲 | Al Cappuccino (TV) 

Cheung Sai-Lun/Luk Chau

Luk Chau is so ridiculously loyal to Cheung Sai-Lun. Cheung Sai-Lun is an absolute idiot and I reluctantly adore him. What would happen if Luk Chau found out that Cheung Sai-Lun was, well, Cheung Sai-Lun? (What would happen if Cheung Sai-Lun actually was Chiang Sai-Lung??) Cheung Sai-Lun seeing Luk Chau fight and realising that he's really into it. Cheung Sai-Lun fake dates Luk Chau instead?? I have not very many ideas but I do have a might need.

Bleach

Kurosaki Ichigo/Zaraki Kenpachi

Kurosaki Ichigo/Madarame Ikkaku

I would love to see anything between these two, I gotta be honest. Anything.

Kurosaki Ichigo/Sado "Chad" Yasutora

It's about the loyalty. AU where Chad doesn't leave Ichigo alone like everyone else does post Aizen, maybe?

Abarai Renji/Kurosaki Ichigo

Kuchiki Byakuya/Kurosaki Ichigo

Ichigo is an irreverant fuck and even after he mellows out, Byakuya is still an uptight motherfucker. It's a beautiful combination.

Grimmjow Jaegerjaques/Kurosaki Ichigo

Asano Keigo/Kurosaki Ichigo/Madarame Ikkaku

Hirako Shinji/Kurosaki Ichigo

Shinji is terrifying and I think Ichigo should be much more into that. 

Frontier (TV 2016)

Declan Harp/Michael Smythe

Okay, I gotta be upfront: I’ve only watched the first season of this. I don’t mind spoilers but nothing based on the later seasons pls!

This pairing ticks it for me on so many levels: size + strength difference, knife kink, the potential for blood and violence and gore. The LOYALTY. Michael is ride or die for Declan Harp instantly. And Harp - he keeps Michael. He just fucking… keeps him. And then he gives up his chance to kill Benson to save Michael! Benson who killed his pregnant wife and son!! He was right there! You can see the agony on his face, but he still chooses Michael. Fuck!! FUCK!! This does it for me ABSOLUTELY. 

我磕了对家x我的cp | I Ship My Adversary X Me - PEPA 

Gu Yiliang/Wei Yanzi

These dumb fuckers. These dumb motherfuckers. I love their shenanigans. How do they fit so many tropes into one dumb, dumb almost relationship. Anything with these two would delight me! 

Naruto

Senju Tobirama/Uchiha Izuna/Uchiha Madara

Hatake Kakashi/Momochi Zabuza

Hoshigaki Kisame/Umino Iruka

I never thought about this pairing before I saw the tag but now I am curious and would like to see Iruka getting absolutely overwhelmed by Kisame, preferably in a sexual manner. I'm thinking of the size difference and crying.

Nara Shikamaru/Uzumaki Naruto

Sai/Uzumaki Naruto

Hatake Kakashi/Uzumaki Naruto

They both go feral? One of them is hit by an aphrodisiac on a mission and the other is the only one able to handle them and their teeth and their aggression? I always think of Kakashi as having very sharp, almost dog/wolf like teeth; he does his best to get around Naruto's healing factor and mark him up? They fuck over the Hokage's desk? Undercover as a couple? Thrown (somewhere/when) and have to survive together and as the time passes, and they realise they're never getting home, they let go of the societal conditioning which has kept them apart????

ワンパンマン | One-Punch Man 

Genos/Saitama

Garou/Metal Bat

Saitama/Sonic

Saitama honestly thinks Sonic's smile is nice!! It might be just because he's a fucking himbo, but I think it's really adorable. 

Lord Boros/Saitama

King/Saitama

Let Saitama get absolutely railed by the Anxiety King!!!! 

Garou/Saitama

Look I have had a mighty need since their very first interaction, brief though it was, when Garou was hero hunting iirc. Maybe instead of dismissing Saitama, Garou fixates on him instead? Idk, idk, yet another thing I have no firm ideas for, only a great thirst.

Mumen Rider | License-less Rider/Saitama

Saitama/Suiryu

They interacted for, like, barely a handful of chapters but I loved them. Would love to see Suiryu doing his best to become Saitama's disciple only to realise that, actually, he just wants to date the man instead. Suiryu doing his best to woo Saitama? 

Pet Shop of Horrors

Count D/Leon Orcot

I literally finished the manga an hour before sign up and I have a lot of feelings. I have too many feelings and if I think about them hard enough I'm going to cry again. The ending was good but I hated it!! How dare they!!! Fix it fic??? Leon finds D instead of looking for him for 20 fucking years????? D still going to Tokyo or whatever but hey look! It's Leon, hanging out in the shop still! Fuck, maybe Leon is also a supernatural creature, I don't care! ANything!!! HAPPY ENDING????? PLEASE??????? i'm dying squirtle.

Pilgrimage (2017) 

Brother Diarmuid/The Mute

The Mute lives through some divine (demonic??) miracle and he and Diarmuid go off to live happily ever after togethr? The Mute and Diarmuid leave the quest early for some reason? After seeing the younger de Merville the Mute throws Diarmuid over his shoulder and fucks off into the wilderness? AU where the Mute is trying to be a good and pious man but Diarmuid is Temptation and tempting and oh so willing. Diarmuid is some sort of fae and accidentally seduces the Mute? They fuck for the first time after the ambush, blood still staining the Mute's hands and now Diarmuid's skin, the younger man clinging to the Mute, even as he cries.

Fandom specific DNW: PLEASE don't make the Mute's name David. I know it's common fanon but like. Please no. 

人渣反派自救系统 - 墨香铜臭 | The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù

Shěn Yuán | Shěn Qīngqiū/Yuè Qīngyuán

Oh man, the angst potential!!!! Shen Yuan wanting to keep his distance from Yue Qingyuan because he's not the 'real' Shen Qingqiu, only to fall in love anyway! With a Yue Qingyuan who (he thinks? or actually is??) in love with Shen Jiu not Shen Yuan!!! So much potential for hurt!!! Shen Yuan who also grew up with SJ & YQY and falls in love with Qi ge and thinks that YQY only sees him as a stand in for the out of reach SJ! Yue Qingyuan slowly realising that the SQQ he knew has changed forever and falling in love with this new version. Realising that SY & SJ are different people but loving SY anyway.

Original Luò Bīnghé/Shěn Yuán | Shěn Qīngqiū

Bingge deserves Shizun love and affection too!! He does! Is he smarter about things (...or SQQ dumber) and replaces Bingmei with himself? Comes to SQQ when Bingmei is gone pretending to be the softer version of himself? Does SQQ know that it's him but plays along, because, after all, Bingge was his favourite character! Or maybe he develops a genuine attachment to Bingge. SQQ getting accidentally shoved into another dimension and meeting Bingge earlier? (maybe the punishment sequence went differently??) All my ideas for this are basically just angsty smut which is great, but also! Give Bingge happiness!!!!!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)

Do I just want Obi-Wan to hurt? Maybe so. Do I love the Clones more than life itself? Definitely.

CC-2224 | Cody/CT-7567 | Rex/Obi-Wan Kenobi

The clones should be allowed to absolutely wreck General Kenobi at any and all times. 

CC-2224 | Cody/Obi-Wan Kenobi

It's about the loyalty. Always having each others backs! ...Obi-Wan slowly growing away from Anakin, turning to Cody more and more, realising that he has feelings for his commander, etc, etc. Obi-Wan trying his best to abide by the Jedi's doctrine on attachments but he spends almost every day, for years, fighting side by side with Cody - how could he do anything but fall in love with him?

Grievous | Qymaen jai Sheelal/Obi-Wan Kenobi

Gotta be honest I've also never thought of this one before but I saw the tag and it has my attention. 

Darth Maul/Obi-Wan Kenobi

Is Obi-Wan a prisoner, at Maul's mercy? Did they get drunk and hate fuck in some shady cantina? Has Obi-Wan spent the entirety of the clone wars accidentally running into this Sith he despises and each time the fight devolves into rutting, frantic fucking, harsh bite marks so deep he carries them for weeks and a lingering sense of shame that he can't quite manage to quite this addictive, terrible habit.

Anakin Skywalker/Obi-Wan Kenobi
