Feel free to cross these, ie: create my requested ships in the other universe. If you want to write Claude as Khalid, please do! I encourage it! I think in NB or F!Byleth and F!Shez, but any expression of gender is fine.Ashe/Byleth Kpop Demon Hunters AU! Ashe as Jinu (or a demon) and Byleth as Rumi (or a hunter), or swapped!Ashe/Claude is probably my favorite rarepair! Claude (Khalid) teaching Ashe Almyran; The helpful words and phrases, yes, but also the naughtier stuff (eyebrow wiggle), ya know?Ashe/Claude/Sylvain - I have a specific image of Ashe napping, head on Claude's lap, and Claude leaning in to Sylvain while one or the other is reading (Glasses!Claude and/or Glasses!Sylvain is lovely!).Dimitri/Ashe, I love a roleswap for them - Prince!Ashe and Commoner!Dimitri, Crested!Ashe, etc. Also give them kids! I think a Parent!AU would be lovely!Dimitri/Claude - Royal Negotiations/Politicking (can be NSFW)Claude/Shahid is my favorite problematic ship. I like hate sex, possession (Shahid thinking of Claude as "his"), throne sex, liberal uses of "little brother" and "big brother" (sexually).
Fandom Specific; Kpop Demon Hunters
Abby/Jinu fake dating. Dialogue suggestion: "Your parents -hate- me. You know that, right?" (I imagine it Abby to Jinu.)
Abby/Romance Oops all aces - Make them both asexual.
