Dear Fandom 5K 2022 Writer

Hello, creator! So exciting to have you here.
In the first section below I’ve listed my DNWs and general likes, and in the second the specific fandom requests with some thoughts on why I like the thing and prompts.
The latter are, of course, purely optional. I’ve included them as a way to show you a general direction of where my taste runs. Also, how much I have to say about a fandom/character/ship isn’t indicative of how much I want it - I’d be equally happy to receive a gift for any of the requests, I just had more thoughts for some while writing (and sometime all I have to say about a request is “!!!!! please :DD”)!
The prompts aren’t purposefully connected with requested genres - so absolutely feel free to ignore my prompts if a genre gives you an idea. Same goes for my likes list too. And I’ll never say no to straight up 5k of smut, if that’s what you want to write!
Although I’ve requested almost entirely relationships, I would be very happy with a fic that’s more focused on plot than shipping, so if that’s what you want to write, please do!
Additionally, if anyone feels inspired to do extra treats, I very much welcome them!
That’s all! Happy creating! 🖋

Cyberpunk 2077In general, I love exploring the world - corporations, corruption, the exploitation of the masses for personal greed, Arasaka vs Militech, the place of the mercs and fixers in NC, etc. But also, I love the dynamics between the characters, the push and pull of it. I’m partial to a V that’s actually into the whole go big or get dead deal that Night City is selling, even though he’s aware that it’s likely to kill him - though obviously, ymmv, so don’t feel obligated to lean into this if you don’t vibe with it. All lifepaths are cool, but I have a fondness for Corpo V. Likewise, (Don't Fear) The Reaper is my preferred ending, but regular The Sun is fine. Temperance is great as well (that good, good angst!). Feel free to pull out the 'and then they miraculously found Johnny's body and V was no longer being erased’ card, too!

Johnny Silverhand/Male VI love the way they go from ‘can’t stand the sight of you, if I could I’d kill you’ to ‘would literally take a bullet for you and will die for you’ in, like, no time at all.

Prompts:
→ Instead of one of them going off with Alt, they both stick around in V’s body. Now they have to figure out how to cohabitate on a more permanent basis and it sure helps that neither of them exactly minds this situation when death isn’t looming.
→ Post-game, Johnny and V are successfully each in their own body. Although this is objectively a good resolution to the Relic problem, neither of them is exactly happy about it. Being alone in their own heads feels… empty.
→ Post-game, Johnny and V are successfully each in their own body. V is busy being a Legend and taking over the Afterlife, and Johnny, for lack of something better to do, starts taking merc jobs himself. Especially ones where he can stick it to a corp. This mostly goes well until he bites off more than he can chew and V has to come to the rescue.
→ Soulmate AU of the ‘name of your soulmate appears on your skin’ variety: Johnny doesn’t believe in fate or soulmates, tough luck for whoever this ‘Vincent’ guy is - and he doesn’t meet him before he dies anyway, so. Some decades later V, not dead, is about to discover a whole new meaning of ‘soulmate’.
→ Really any soulmate AU, hah, the time difference between their lives make those so delicious.

Kerry Eurodyne/Male VAlmost a strangers to lovers story, except for the part where one of them is possessed by the other’s ex old bandmate slash terrorist. Joke aside, I really love the way the relationship happens in the game. Kerry goes from being stuck in his own head and basically using V as a Johnny-link to genuine appreciation of him and it’s really heartwarming. And I refuse to believe V didn’t have at least a tiny crush on Rock Legend Kerry Eurodyne at some point.

Prompts:
→ AU where they meet before Johnny decides to break into Kerry's mansion, while V’s working - either for a third party or for Kerry himself - and they develop a relationship that way.
→ V needs to go to the Crystal Palace. Conveniently, his boyfriend is one of the few musicians whose stardom allows them to play in the Las Vegas of Space. The solution is obvious, but there is one small issue: V cannot go as himself. He will have to pretend to be a part of Kerry’s crew.
→ There are many perks to dating Night City’s resident rock star, but the media’s seeming need to know everything about him and the people he dates isn’t one of them. Or: V and Kerry are trying to have a relationship and keep it out of the screamsheets. Results vary.
→ Although Kerry first became interested in V mostly as a connection to Johnny, he’s genuinely come to like and appreciate V for himself. Problem: V hasn’t realized that and still thinks he’s mostly there for the good sex and the Johnny link. Which is fine! Totally! It’s not like he’s gone and gotten attached to Kerry or anything.

Kerry Eurodyne/Johnny SilverhandI just love the long and messy history between Johnny and Kerry, and I’m especially partial to it having been some form of requited, though probably pretty messed up, and not just Kerry sadly pining away. In the flashbacks we see, all Kerry does is argue with Johnny, so I like to think they actually fought and were much more equal than Johnny implied when speaking to V. Johnny seems to have real issues with properly acknowledging that, yeah, he does care for Kerry, even though he went and found all that information about him while on that bender. Though I also feel like in 2077 Kerry is more hung up on the ideal of Johnny, rather than the actual person.

Prompts:
→ Back in the 20s, what if Kerry had managed to talk Johnny out of the Arasaka raid?
→ Generally, any “what if?” you could think of where Johnny doesn’t die in Arasaka Tower.
→ Samurai is broken, Kerry is on the fast track to personal stardom, and he hasn’t spoken to Johnny in ages. This is fine with Kerry, right up until circumstances (whether inflicted by outside forces or by Johnny himself) force them to interact again.
→ You know how in the TTRPG Kerry was kidnapped and rescued by Morgan Blackhand (https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Morgan_Blackhand?so=search#1980s_-_2021)? What if that but instead it’s Johnny doing the rescuing, with or without Blackhand (I love Blackhand, by the way, feel free to include him).
→ Post-Temperance, Johnny comes back to NC after some time. Kerry is Not Happy with the disappearing act.

Kerry Eurodyne/Johnny Silverhand/Male VI ramble about the separate pairings in this above, so, how do all three of them fit together?

Prompts:
→ Just various ways the previous prompts can be smashed together or refit to be about the three of them.


Dragon AgeI love this world, in all its slightly-miserable apocalyptic glory. I also like mages and magic, A Lot! (In that sense, I admit I have a fondness for Mage Trevelyan, but that’s not at all necessary if you’re not into it. I love rogues and warriors too!) I tend to go for the middle/sarcastic dialogue options. I like an Inquisitor who’s good at the politics part of being the Inquisitor - maybe he’s not a genius or anything, but he’s aware of what’s going on and can, to some degree, play the game.

Male Trevelyan/Dorian PavusThey are simply delightful. The flirting, the banter, the way the whole canon romance plays out - *chef’s kiss*.

Prompts:
→ Dorian enthusiastically explaining magic to a rogue/warrior Trevelyan who is very into it (either appreciating magic for its own sake, or because it’s Dorian, or both).
→ Dorian and mage Trevelyan try to do magic together - only to realize that the difference between Tevinter and the Southern Circles isn’t just in politics, but in the actual way they practice magic.
→ Although they are together, the delicate balance in which the Inquisition exists means they can’t be open about it. Unfortunately, they are very bad at keeping their hands to themselves, even in public.
→ Post-game (either before or after Trespasser), Trevelyan goes to Tevinter. Except he might have forgotten to mention this to Dorian. Cue Dorian having to deal with the (pleasant) surprise visit and keep on top of the political implications of his presence.


Mass EffectIf I had to pick a favorite game of the trilogy it would have to be ME3, because of the character interactions and the way Shepard feels the most alive (ironically enough); but I also love ME1, where characters feel way more idealistic than they later become, and ME2 where it all seems to be crashing down but it's still bearable. I love the opening of ME2, especially the Normandy destruction scene - there's something very visceral about it, and the way silence is used works wonders.
I love the character arc of Shepard, how he goes over the course of the games from soldier taking everything in stride to visibly bowed down by all the responsibility on his shoulders. And still, until the end (and even past that, hah) he still stands up and does what must be done. I don't really care about origin/notoriety for Shep (or if he's custom or default), but recently I've been into the whole Butcher of Torfan thing.
Some prompts may lean in a OT3 direction, and I don’t mind if that’s where you want to take it.

Kaidan Alenko/Male ShepardKaidan my beloved <3 I love, love, love Shepard and Kaidan's relationship; not just the canon ME3 romance, although old soldiers slow burn conclusion is perfect, but all through the 3 games: the easy camaraderie they have in ME1 from the first time we see them talk, through the pain of Horizon (note: I tend to think Kaidan had the right of it there), to the back and forth pushing at the start of ME3. I like the way Kaidan doesn't actively need Shep the way other crew/LI do and is willing to stick to his guns/morals even when it puts the two of them on opposite sides, and I like the role reversal thing they do in ME3, where Kaidan is all “You did what you had to” re: Cerberus, and Shepard is now the one questioning everything.

Prompts:
→ As per Alliance regulations, they officially cannot be together. But Spectres exist to break rules, and surely the potential end of the galaxy is a good enough reason to indulge? Doesn’t make the sneaking around any easier, though.
→ They used to be together on the first Normandy, but the subsequent events - namely death and being on different sides - put a stop to that. When Kaidan comes back on board, things are fine between them as long as they pretend that they’ve only ever been friends. But after an accident at a Cerberus facility that ends with them stuck together alone, they may not have the option to continue doing that.
→ Post-Virmire, Shepard and Kaidan are both shaken by the choice the first made, though for different reasons. Kaidan is trying to come to grips with surviving in Ashley’s place when he was prepared to die, but Shepard is questioning whether he made the call because it was the best decision or if he wanted to save Kaidan for selfish reasons.

Male Shepard/Garrus VakarianGarrus my beloved <3 I love how he basically drops his entire life when Shepard comes knocking. The transformation of ME1 Garrus who's just so clearly start struck by Shepard into ME2 Garrus who's much more world weary and grizzled, but still cracking jokes, to ME3 where he's advising the highest ranks of the Turian military and damn good at it, may just be one of my favorite in the trilogy and in games at all.
I like the way Garrus holds Shep's opinion/views in such a high esteem that he goes along with them even when it's not what he set out to do and seeks out Shep's approval even though he doesn't actually need it. Their dynamic is amazing no matter what angle you take at it, but I love the subtle differences between if Shepard is more Paragon or more Renegade.

Prompts:
→ Garrus’ hero worship of Shepard takes a turn for the intimate.
→ Reverse of the above: when they meet again on Omega, Shepard does a double take at the ways Garrus has changed. And then he can’t stop noticing him, even if he’s always “calibrating”.
→ The shooting contest in ME3 takes longer to conclude. The stakes… escalate.

Kaidan Alenko/Garrus VakarianThe dynamic of Garrus ‘red tape is literally killing me’ Vakarian and Kaidan ‘cutting corners gets people killed’ Alenko is absolutely amazing, what can I say. For all that they rarely interact in-game, I’d like to think they by turns get along really well and really not (see: previous sentence). They’re both good soldiers, but they approach it from two very different directions. I’d love just about any take on this ship tbh.

Prompts:
→ In the wake of the Normandy’s destruction, the crew is left adrift. Garrus and Kaidan stick together.
→ During the two years while Shepard is dead, Garrus disappears in the criminal world and Kaidan throws himself into his work for the Alliance. Their paths cross again while they’re both working…
→ Garrus is not the person Kaidan expected to have tension with when he returned to the Normandy, but is undeniable. But is it caused by left over animosity over being on different sides of the battlefield or is it something else?


NarutoNinjas! Powerful and sometimes ridiculous ninjas! :D
I love canon-divergence stuff from the Founders era, especially of the Izuna lives or Madara stays in/returns to the village variety. There’s just so much room for interesting things to happen and total freedom to do it since what we have of that time period is so scarce!

Uchiha Madara/Senju HashiramaI love everything about these two. Madara yelling for Hashirama across a whole battlefield and later pouting refusing to fight when he gets a clone and not the real deal are things that live rent free in my mind. Also I love it when the popular perception (of civilians, other shinobi, whatever) is that of the two, Madara is scarier due to his… everything, but in reality, Hashirama is much more terrifying, despite - or because of - his idealism. (The flashback of what Hashirama says when “killing” Madara is *chef’s kiss*.) I also bet Madara is really into it.

Prompts:
→ Against their fathers’ wishes/warnings/orders, they keep meeting. Not anywhere so obvious as the river, of course - but they often cross paths on missions, only mostly on purpose. As the years turn, their old friendship turns into something more.
→ Although the new Uchiha-Senju alliance has been confirmed, they are worried whether it will hold long enough for them to build something of it. Hashirama has an idea: if all the bloodshed is because of endless revenge for their families, why not remove that as a factor? In other words, he proposes marriage. If the Clan Heads get married, then the two clans become, at least nominally, family.
→ As far as Madara is concerned, Hashirama being the Hokage is great - he’d hate to have to deal with all the bureaucratic nonsense. But there is one problem: the high profile position means that any relationships he has are up for public scrutiny, and shinobi are the worst gossips. Madara would rather make friends with the Hyuuga than have his love life become the newest dinner topic, so they must keep their relationship a secret. That’s easier said than done.
→ After dying and making amends with Hashirama, the last thing Madara expects is to wake up again. Even less so to wake up on an extremely familiar battlefield, the one where so long ago his brother had been struck. Not only that, but Hashirama is right there, staring back at him. But the look in those eyes is not that of the desperately idealistic young shinobi he remembers so clearly still, but rather the same one Hashirama had in the future.

Uchiha Madara/Senju TobiramaPossibly the very definition of enemies to lovers. I feel like Izuna, whether he’s dead or only got away with a big wound from that fight, would be a big Thing™ between them, especially for Madara. (On the Senju side, Hashirama would probably be unbearable about Madara/Tobirama, if he ever found out, lol.)

Prompts:
→ Everyone knows Madara can’t stand Tobirama and vice versa. And yet somehow, they end up having to go on a mission together. When the mission goes wrong, they are forced to spend large amounts of time together, against both of their wills and better judgment.
→ Hashirama is desperate for his brother and his best friend to get along better. Or at all. He resorts to various methods. What he doesn’t know is that those methods are a bit too effective. If he wasn’t a shinobi, he could have probably become a matchmaker.
→ It’s perfectly fine to have wild amounts of sex with the guy you hate and who hates you return. It is not fine to then develop any sort of feelings about him, no matter how good looking when naked.

Senju Tobirama/Uchiha IzunaLook, enemies to lovers is on my likes list for a reason. Izuna never dying or just getting seriously injured by Tobirama creates such interesting possibilities for them in the village. Or maybe even they somehow get together (for whatever definition of “get together” you want, I’m very okay with them just having a friends/enemies-with-benefits situation going) before the village happens?

Prompts:
→ A reasonable way to deal with having to work close together with the guy that almost killed you is to have sex with him, right? Right? (Izuna, no.)
→ Seal failure traps Tobirama in a time loop. Unfortunately for him, the only other person to be aware of this is Izuna, who also got caught in it. Now, they have to work together in order to ever see tomorrow.
→ Izuna walks in on Tobirama experimenting with what will eventually become the Edo Tensei. Tobirama is forced to explain lest Izuna come to some kind of crazy conclusion about what he’s doing. Even so, Izuna decides that someone sensible has to keep an eye on experiments of this nature, and unceremoniously appoints himself as the one to do it.


The Old GuardOh man, this movie has simply consumed my brain. I just love the entire concept and the execution of it.
Note that I tend to fall on the side of being sympathetic to Booker - although I’m not that much of a fan of stories where it’s completely about how the rest of the Guard ~failed~ at catching Booker’s depression or whatever. Also while a lot of potential stories naturally happen in various historical periods, I’m not at all expecting 100% historical accuracy or any, really. Feel free to handwave it/just look it up on wikipedia. Though I would also love it if you do write something that you put research into!

Booker/CopleySad traitors club! Joking, but only kinda.
I’m really fascinated by any potential take on this ship - they clearly know each other, so I’d love to read about how they ended up creating the whole scheme. Or, post canon - I’m willing to believe Copley would ignore Booker’s exile to keep tabs on him, if the exile even applies to Copley in the first place.

Prompts:
→ Post-movie, Booker is in exile in Paris, thinking he’s going to drink away the next hundred years - until Copley unexpectedly shows up asking for his help.
→ Booker may have been sentenced to a century of exile, but that means nothing to Copley - he’s not part of the Guard and it’s not like it’s him that was betrayed. Maybe he feels guilty for being the one to technically set the events in motion, maybe he considers Booker still a part of the Guard he’s helping even if he’s on temporary timeout. Either way, they keep in contact post-movie and things develop from there.
→ When Copley meets Booker again, he expects their interactions to be dedicated solely to setting the plan in motion. He’s completely blindsided when he realizes that somewhere along the way he’s developed a genuine connection to the other man, and perhaps something more.
→ While they’re figuring out the details of their plan, they somehow wind up in bed together. It’s fine, it happens. It’s less fine when it keeps happening.

Andy & Booker & Joe & NickyI simply love the Guard’s group dynamic. That scene at the start, where they all meet up, is pretty close to being my absolute favorite. I’d love to see them at any point during their centuries together, doing… literally anything. Or maybe post-movie, dealing with all the stuff that’s happened? In the latter case, please don’t let the lack of Nile in the tag stop you from including her - I love her a lot! Also please note that while I adore Joe/Nicky, I’d prefer that the story not be focused only on them and their relationship, but on all four of the characters.

Prompts:
→ Pick a period in the last 1000 years you like; what was the Guard doing then?
→ Now, we know from Copley’s wall that Nicky went to college in the 1990s - but what about the rest of them? Did they go with him? Have they all attended college in modern times? What about in the past? What was it like? (For DNW purposes, this doesn’t count as a mundane/college AU since it’s set in the canon universe.)
→ I bet as technology developed in the 20th century, they had to adapt fast to the higher chances of being spotted/recognized as being unkillable. Were there any earlier incidents where they were almost discovered?
→ These may be a bunch of immortal warriors, but they can’t be fighting all the time. I bet they’ve had to resort to drastic measures to amuse themselves at times. Has this ever resulted in any of them doing something extremely stupid while the others cheer on/despair?


Dreaming of Sunshine - Silver QueenThis is just a delightful universe and I love Shikako. I also love other people reacting to Shikako, whenever she does anything Shikako-like and how unaware she is of her being extraordinary. Time traveling Shikako is always delightful, too. If you’d like to write recursive fic (and I think a few of the prompts below would work really well for some of the established DoS AUs), feel free to do it! I welcome any and all, but if you’d like to know which specific DoS fics I’ve liked, they’re all in my ao3 bookmarks. Just put “Dreaming of Sunshine” in the Search within results field to find them.

Nara Shikako & HakuTheir friendship is just so nice! Especially since it’s so unexpected to pretty much everyone else. I’d love more interactions between them. Also Zabuza isn’t in this tag, but given his and Haku’s everything, feel free to include him as well - I love him!

Prompts:
→ For Mission Reasons, Shikako ends up close to Hidden Mist and runs into Haku. Said mission may or may not have spectacularly exploded in a wild, unforeseen direction, but it’s fine! It’s probably not another invasion from a previously-unknown continent, that would be silly! (Haku is not very reassured, but they can handle it.)
→ Konoha and Mist try a shinobi exchange program. Shikako is the natural person to send to Mist. Given secrecy and everything, even between allies, it’s not like they’re going to let her run around unsupervised, so for the entire duration of her stay Haku sticks close. There may or may not be shenanigans.

Nara Shikako & Senju TobiramaShikako and her favorite Hokage (who may or may not be Hokage at the moment, and may or may not be very baffled by her) is always a delight!

Prompts:
→ Shikako saves Tobirama from his canon death! Now she has to explain her presence to an injured Hokage that’s very certain she’s not from Konoha regardless of signs that she is, in fact, a Nara.
→ After a spectacular seal failure, Tobirama is now in the future. This is not a problem per se, but he’d still rather go home. Shikako helps with the effort to send him back. And hey, she’s not going to say no to an opportunity to work closely with the Second Hokage on experimental seals.

Nara Shikako & Uchiha ShisuiI love all fics where these two meet or, well, do anything together.

Prompts:
→ Due to mysterious/Sharingan reasons, Shisui travels forward in time. As Team 7 luck would have it, he lands right in front of Shikako (and, potentially, Sasuke or other friends). Now she has to figure out how to get this very-obviously-an-Uchiha somewhere safe without attracting the attention of every single person in Konoha or letting him note the absence of the Uchiha anywhere.
→ Shikako and Shisui are friends. On a mission gone wrong, Shikako’s count of how many times she’s died goes up. No worries though, she’s fine, see! Shisui does, in fact, see. He’s not a happy camper about it.


The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. TolkienAny time period is fine, though I’m partial to the First Age, reincarnation in Valinor whenever (reembodiment; no adults as children/in child bodies please), and during their time in Mandos. I love the tragedy of the Noldor. Themes of loyalty and doom are especially delicious. Compliance with canon events (i.e. traumatic death) are absolutely okay. Go all out on the angst if you wish, this is the canon for it. Or you can focus on the happy/less horrible times, too! I’ll love it either way. And go with whatever names you like, I just use the Sindarin versions here for ease.
Although these are all platonic tags, feel free to include/mention the characters being in other, romantic/sexual relationships, canon or not. Maedhros/Fingon, Celebrimbor/Annatar, Elrond/Celebrian(and/or Gil-galad) are some that come to mind that I like.
Also as a sort-of exception to my mundane AUs DNW - I don’t really consider things like “Elves through history” or “Maglor in modern times” one of those, and in fact really love both tropes, so please feel free to write them if you so wish! I can never have enough :D
Note on characterization: I prefer Elrond & Elros & Maglor & Maedhros to have developed a genuine familial relationship, though if you’re not into the whole Kidnap Fam thing I understand and am okay with pretty much any way to write their relationship except ‘M&M were monsters’. And please, if it comes up, no Elwing bashing.
I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested!

MaglorTragic figure or terrifying kinslayer? How about both! I love that he’s the one to survive the first age of all the Feanorians, and that he ends up writing the Noldolante. I love all variation of what happens to him, from sad beach cryptid though ‘he ends up with Elrond’ to ‘he’s just living his life after a certain point’, as well as any characterization that doesn’t make him out to be a total monster (though I do love it when people write him as at least a bit arrogant, I admit, and a good warrior).

Prompts:
→ Maglor in the 20/21st century. Any take on it. Is he fitting in? How does he deal with the leaps of technology, particularly in relation to surveillance and the possibility of someone noticing he’s not aging?
→ Alternatively, pick a historical period earlier than the 1900s. What was Maglor doing then?
→ Just how powerful is his voice, I wonder? In competition with other elves, in battle…
→ Just anything where he has to interact with any cousin or non-Feanorian family member tbh.
→ AU where the real Gil-Galad either didn’t ever actually exist or he died at the end of the War of Wrath. Somehow, Maglor ends up filling in - the reasoning may be flimsy, but there must be a High King of the Noldor, no, you can’t refuse. The contradictory backstory of Gil-galad comes about as a deliberate obfuscation tactic. (Galadriel probably thinks the “Fingon’s son” rumor is hysterical.)

Maedhros & MaglorTheir dynamic is so interesting to me! We have all these snapshots of them - Maedhros getting captured and leaving Maglor in charge who then does not go after him, the Elrond and Elros thing, Maglor wanting to go west at the end and Maedhros refusing, etc. - and they paint so many interesting pictures.

Prompts:
→ Post-Thangorodrim Maedhros and Maglor’s dynamic. Maglor feels like he failed Maedhros, since Fingon did just prove rescue is possible, even if he knows that it probably wouldn’t have worked if they’d tried that. Maedhros on the other hand is being extremely practical about it. This causes some… tension.
→ AU where Maglor stops Maedhros from fiery death and now they have to deal with being alive.
→ Some time after the Fourth Age in Valinor, a reembodied Maedhros discovers that no one knows where Maglor is. Elrond searched for him, but was unable to find him. Clearly, this calls for a quest. (Though with less kinslaying this time, Maedhros promises.)

Elrond & CelebrimborI would love literally anything with these two, I simply need more interaction between them. (I have a weakness for a Celebrimbor that’s ambitious and determined and convinced he’s right, in a way that both mirrors and is completely different from Curufin and Feanor.)

Prompts:
→ When Celebrimbor first meets Elrond he doesn’t actually know who he is. They strike up a friendship and that continues for a while before
→ AU where Celebrimbor is rescued from Sauron/not captured in the first place and ends up with Elrond in the newly-established Imladris.
→ I’d just really like to see them try to navigate the weird way they’re related. Cousins is probably the easiest way to go, but I feel like they might take a while to get there! What with the whole kidnapping bit.


Sense8I love everything about this show. The entire concept of sensates and clusters is extremely iddy to me to begin with, and then they went and did all that with the ability lending and helping each other in difficult situations. Simply amazing. And who can forget the awesome group sex, heh.
I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested!

Kala Dandekar/Wolfgang Bogdanow/Rajan RasalI do not have the words to express how happy I was when I got to the end and they all ended up together. I’m smiling just thinking about it. In that sense (heh), I’d love anything that explores where they go from there, be it immediately the next morning or in the longer plan. Or, an AU - what if they’d somehow gotten to meet earlier?

Prompts:
→ Morning after the finale! Last night was great, sure, but now in the light of day, how do things look?
→ Rajan gets to experience sex with Kala/Wolfgang where one of them isn’t physically present.
→ Rajan and Wolfgang developing their own relationship, not only through Kala - and Kala being very into it.
