Hello worldbuilder!

Worldbuilding is one of my absolute favorite topics, and I'm excited to see what you create for me. I've provided prompts below, but if you feel inspiration taking you in a different direction, please go with it; I'm sure it will be fascinating.

I go by Brachylagus_fandom on AO3. I have requested fic, art, and in-universe meta for all requests, and I've also requested Any or No Characters and Original Characters for all requests. I am open to treats!

Do Not Wants: explicit sex or gore (fade to black okay), animal cruelty

Likes:

• Characters being competent in their area of expertise
• Outsider POV
• Missing scenes and alternate perspectives
• Crack, particularly crack treated seriously
• Mystery/intrigue, casefic
• Hurt/comfort
• Fluff
• Hijinks
• Music

Worldbuilding-Specific Likes:

• Logistics - how does stuff get made? How is it moved?
• History and its relation to the present
• Period-appropriate details, esp. in clothing
• Science and scientific approaches to magic
• Things that did happen in canon but were only referenced
• Tech - what's standard, what's cutting edge, how it works. Blueprints always welcome.
• Cultural attitudes around queerness, race, education, or any other issue, and how they differ by region/class/etc.

Art Likes:

• Vivid colors, or colors used to emphasize parts of the piece
• I love really bold lines and really soft ones, really realistic drawings as well as really stylized ones 
• Basically the art equivalent of pastiche - stuff meant to look like canonical drawings or specific periods/styles (e.g., your fave in medieval tapestry)
• Overlap with In-Universe Meta! In-universe technical drawings/propaganda posters, sketches done by characters

In-Universe Meta Likes:

• Bureaucracy/paperwork
• Descriptions of canon events from dramatically different perspective
• Noodle incidents, either explained or created by the meta

One Piece (Anime & Manga)

Any or No Characters, Original Character(s) 

• Climate Science of One Piece - Specifically of the Grand Line, because it's so weird. Do experts use the spring/summer/autumn/winter island terminology, or do they divide island climates differently (and if so how)? What are the theories of how Grand Line weather works, and are there methods for predicting it in any meaningful sense or at any meaningful timescale? What are the folks up on Weatheria studying, and how? 
• Study of Devil Fruits - how common is the logia/zoan/paramecia divide across cultures/history, and what are other systems for categorizing devil fruits? How were devil fruit dictionaries like the one the Vinsmokes had created and verified, and how accurate are they? What are some theories about how devil fruits work, and how has support of them changed or shifted over time?
• The Period Immediately After Roger's Death - A very hectic time! What was this start of the great pirate era like for the pre-existing pirate crew, the marine, the civilian? How well-known was the hunt for Roger's child among the general public at the time, and why were the Marines so determined to find him? (Was this meant as a distraction from other things happening at the time?) How did the culture and practice of piracy change in the aftermath of Roger's death, and what of it stayed the same?

The 39 Clues - Various Authors

Any or No Characters, Original Character(s)

• Branch culture - I'd love a deeper look into how the branches work. What social roles do the branches play, and how has that evolved over time? Does it vary substantially from place to place (or big office to small office) or is being an active Tomas agent similar basically regardless of where you are? What are branch politics like? How does being an active member affect your family relationships and relationships outside the branch; is there pressure to engage with the branch exclusively? How does this differ between branches and over time?
• Cahill History - In the series, basically every major event in the past 500 years has been tied to the Cahhils somehow. I'd love to see an exploration of an event not covered by the books - or intra- and inter-branch squabbles that haven't made the history books! The early years and first couple generations of the branches must've been extremely rocky, with a lot of the things modern Cahills treat as standard not in place yet, and that would be interesting to explore. The early years of Madeleine's adventures as the first Madrigal could be super fun. Or the previous attempts at unification seen in Into the Gauntlet!
• Technology - I love all the weird tech in the series, and I'd love to see more of it. Development, use reports in the field, various characters' opinions on the latest card-worthy invention… all of it, please.
• The Serum - Speaking of tech, the original Cahill one! How did Gideon create it and source his ingredients? How did Olivia source the ingredients for the counter-serum after his death? How have various people attempted to reconstruct either serum since? How does it work? Is there a reliable way to test for it (as a proxy for what branch someone belongs to), and, if so, how does that work?
• The Vespers - How are they structured, and how has that changed over the years? (I'd love to see the org chart.) What are the organization's overall goals? How are the members recruited? Based on Sinead, there's a certain amount of grabbing revenge-seeking Cahills, but there's also some family recruitment if V1 and Arthur Trent are anything to go by. (I would also love to see what's up with the Trents specifically, and how they fit into this mess.) How did the various Vespers in canon come into contact with the organization?

FAQ: The "Snake Fight" Portion of Your Thesis Defense - Luke Burns

Any or No Characters, Original Character(s)

• Facilities’ care and feeding between snake fights - whose job is it, exactly, to care for the snakes? Do these fall to the groundskeepers of the university, or is it managed by each individual department to feed their own snakes, or something else? (For example, my alma mater's live mascot is an animal of the appropriate species in the local zoo; are the thesis snakes maybe selected from zoos near the university, where they normally reside and are cared for, and if so what sort of consultation is needed with the zookeepers to remove them from their habitats?) Are the snakes on public display outside of defense season, or are they only for viewing during defenses? 
• History and development of tradition of snake fighting in academia - when did the snake fight portion come about? Was this something that happened to one poor guy on accident that he then decided to inflict on his grad students when the time came? Are there different philosophies of snake fighting as thesis defense based on institution or field?

Hunger Games Series - All Media Types

Any or No Characters, Original Character(s), Beetee Latier, Finnick Odair, Haymitch Abernathy, Lyme, Mags, Wiress

• Career Training - How does it differ between the Career districts? Is it purely physical training or is there also camera training/interview prep/etc.? What ages of kids are trained, and how are they selected? Is there some sort of application process, and if so what's that like? Do the kids have to pay for their own training, or is it subsidized by the District? What is the social life of kids in training like; do they interact with their non-Career friends at all? What is the general perception of the (ex-)Careers among non-Career parts of the Districts? What happens to kids in Career training who don't volunteer?
• Coordinating the Rebellion Across the Districts - how is intel transmitted between districts? Are most actions planned centrally, or do districts strike out on their own? How does this change during the 74th/75th games? How does the war make coordination easier/harder?
• Past Hunger Games - I'd love to see any previous Games, from either in or outside the arena. (For something I don't think I've seen much of, the first Quarter Quell, and how selecting the tributes changes the experience, for those reaped/watching in real time/watching the recap later on.)
• Evolution of the games in history - how have the Games shifted over the years? Which elements were introduced later, and how did those introductions go? Have things like the tribute parade or interviews taken different shapes as the Games progressed? Are there "trends" for aspects of the arena (biome, weapons availability, "narrative" for lack of a better term of what the gamemakers intend to be the major elements of the games)?
• Game design for any year of the hunger games - Who gets to design the arena, and what sort of Gamemaker politics go into who gets chosen (and who gets to control which areas of the arena)? How does a theme/biome get chosen; are there any restrictions on what Gamemakers can choose? Are the arenas finalized on the first day of the games, or do the Gamemakers shift the terrain/threats based on audience or tributes' reactions? (E.g., adding additional poisonous plants/venomous mutts if the tributes are suspicious of totally legit plants, or if a tribute's death to poison is particularly popular.) How long does it take to put an arena together? What are some famous (or infamous) arenas?
• Mentor's work during the Hunger Games - How are sponsorships tallied and earned? How does mentoring strategy differ between different mentors/districts; are there different schools of thought on getting tributes through? Have there been mismatches between a tribute's strategy and what the mentor believes the strategy is (and thus were trying to support)? What tasks do mentors have after their tributes die?
• Victors and their relationship to their home districts - Haymitch's relationship with District 12 appears to be rather fraught; is this typical for victors? How does the reaction change based on the victor's relationships within their district prior to their victory/remaining ties they have to general district culture, the victor's personality/reputation, and the district? Are Career victors more accepted because training to win (and winning) the games are more normalized, or more isolated because they don't necessarily need to interact with non-victors as often (since there are more victors to socialize with)?
• Victors and their relationship with their fans - Do some victors deliberately court a fanbase, in order to get more supplies for their tributes? Do some shy away from the attention (and does this help at all)? How much of it is purely transactional on the victor's side, versus a feeling of reciprocity or even friendship? What does victor fandom look like outside of the Games? What generates a victor a particularly notable fanbase?

Murdle Series - G. T. Karber

Any or No Characters, Original Character(s), Deductive Logico, Inspector Irratino

• Murdle Investigatory Methods/Forensics - I'd love to see how the investigatory work behind a murdle case works. Are Logico and Irratino handling the evidence, or are their specialists who determine whether the weapon contained a live animal? 
• Murdle Legal System - Why do murdlers only get a week in the rich people prison (if that)? For that matter, how does Irratino fake his death in the prison every week? And why is a lawyer considered a bludgeoning weapon and not a suspect? How are Marot readings or logic puzzles treated in court?

Leverage (US TV 2008)

Any or No Characters, Original Character(s)

• How the Leverage Team finds clients - What kind of process do they use? Discreet ads, some sort of referral service from people they trust, lurking on forums, some combination of the above, something else entirely? How has it changed from the beginning of the original run to Leverage: Redemption?
• Leverage International - I'd love to see how any of the other Leverage teams work. How were their members recruited? What's their group dynamic like? Do the cases they take on differ from the original crew? Do any former clients/allies of Leverage get involved with the international teams, and does the original team ever (intentionally or initially accidentally) step in?

Hello Gift-In-A-Boxer!

I go by Brachylagus_fandom over on AO3, and I'm delighted to see what you have in store for me! I've listed some general likes for the medium opt-ins I've requested across fandoms as well as prompts for the fandoms I've requested, but if inspiration takes you in another direction, go for it; I love all of these canons, and I'm sure I'll love what you create for them.

DNWs

• smut
• gore (canon-typical violence is fine, but keep injury descriptions minimally graphic)
• change of setting AUs (e.g., coffee shop/pirate/high school AU - canon divergence AUs fine)

Likes

• Worldbuilding - how did canon get to be the way it is? how do the nitty gritty parts of it work?
• Crack, especially crack treated seriously
• Outsider POV, unreliable narrator, contradicting narrators
• Big stylistic choices - second-person or other non standard POVs, epistolary, nonlinear storytelling. Go wild with it, and I'm sure we'll both have fun
• Characters being competent in their area of expertise
• Mystery/intrigue
• Missing scenes, Little details of canon
• Hurt/comfort
• Fluff
• Hijinks
• Slice of life

Medium-Specific Likes

I've requested the same medium tags across fandoms this year, with the exception of those not applicable to a specific fandom (e.g., not requesting the recursive tags for fandoms I don't have works in, ASW panels for book-only fandoms, etc). 

• In-Universe Media - a great medium for worldbuilding-focused works! I love all forms of these, especially documents that peer into areas of canon that are more in the background, or that cast a different perspective on the events we see in canon (like a police report for the victims of a Leverage heist). For this (and Art and Poetry), Any truly does mean any; I love all varieties of this I run across, and so the easiest way to trim down the number of opt-ins I was requesting was just to request the top of the umbrella.
• Conspiracy Board - this can be a really fun twist on an outsider perspective for me, especially because so many events in these canons are wild enough that the truth truly is stranger than fiction. It can also be fun to see what conspiracies the characters themselves hold, and are willing to put on their tinfoil hats for.
• List of things (character) is not allowed to do - a perfect excuse for comedy! Many of these characters are terrible at decision-making, and I'd love to see their (canonical or not) poor choices dragged out in listicle format.
• Art in general - I love seeing different styles of art and how other people visualize things! In terms of specific likes, I tend to prefer stylized (e.g., art deco, medieval-style paintings) over realistic art styles and pieces with a clear sense of ~aesthetic, though I don't have strong preferences for what that aesthetic is; it's kind of like big stylistic choices in prose for me.
• A Softer World style art/panels - I think that the A Softer World format is great for a gut punch, and so many of these comics are so blorbo-coded it's not even funny. I'm totally down for something in the same three-panel style but with your own text as well, or text from one of the ASW spinoffs.
• Illustrated Text - I love art and I love stories! I think illustrated texts can convey more information/narrative than art alone can convey, but art conveys a lot of emotion and setting of that text, and it can also allow a lot of concision in conveying that information. And, for things potentially outside of the canonical universe, like action figure packaging, it can be interesting to see how something artificial can be marketed, and the resemblances it has to real out-of-universe examples.
• Recursive Fic/Remix/Fanart/Fancomic/Cover of My Fic - Honestly, I'm just curious to see how other people interact with/interpret things I've created. Any works under my name on AO3 are fair game; any art or fic opt ins that apply to your idea are fine. I'm also open to remixes/recursives/et cetera in fandoms I didn't request!
• Solo Journaling TTRPG rules, TTRPG rules, TTRPG Supplement - I'd love to see how any of these canons work as a TTRPG! I'm most familiar with PBtA systems, which I think do some really interesting things with having narrative elements being baked into classes, but I've also played DnD, and I'm more than willing to try a new system and see how it interacts with one of these canons. I really enjoy when narrative and mechanics interact in messy ways, as well as when things have unexpected-but-makes-sense-deep-down benefits/drawbacks.
• Poetry - I love poetry because it can establish very specific moods with very few words. No preference for metered vs free verse; I really like when very structured styles (e.g., villanelle) use that rigidity to full effect but also appreciate how less structured formats allow ideas and language to flow more freely. I tend to prefer people over nature in terms of subjects. I'm particularly interested in in-universe poems (e.g., something a character wrote or a song they grew up singing).
• Logic Puzzle, Murdle - The logic needed to solve them, the way you get little bits and pieces before everything becomes clear all at once. I think this can be a fun way to do slice of life; A does these things with these parameters, but must remember which is which. For murdle, I love the backstory behind it, and the reaction of the suspect at the end! (I also really love the snarky weapons/locations/suspects cards).
• Meta, Character Analysis, Worldbuilding Headcanon - I really enjoy seeing how these worlds work, and I feel like meta and worldbuilding headcanons dive deep into that in nifty ways (either by analyzing canon evidence or creating theories). It can also be really interesting to hear about a canon from a perspective other than my own, or through the lens of a subject I'm not all that familiar with, and how those can enrich my own understanding of a piece of media. The only thing I look for when reading meta and meta-adjacent works is earnestness; I am more than happy to hear about a pedantic nitpicking of legal defenses within Murdle, or the deep ecological meaning of One Piece's oceanography, or a reading that is definitely not intended by canon but produces a fascinating reframing a la Darth Jar Jar, so long as you're invested in it.

The 39 Clues - Various Authors

Honor Harrington Series - David Weber

Leverage (US TV 2008)

I've watched both Leverage and Leverage: Redemption, and am fine with works drawing from either (or breaking continuity with Redemption for post-original show stuff, if that's more your speed)

Murdle (Video Game)

One Piece (Live Action TV 2023)

I'm sloooowly watching my way through the anime, but I'm much more familiar with the LA. Treats welcome and enabled!

DNWs: gore, animal cruelty, major character death (references to Bellmere's or Kuina's deaths okay), character bashing

Additional Tags:

• Alternate Universe - Daemons: I feel like daemon AUs are an excellent way of exploring a character's personality and upbringing: is the creature common to where they grew up (but not necessarily where they are now), or rarer? What does it signify to the character, and what does it imply to everyone else? I also really love same-gender daemons, and the many things that they could imply/represent; it kind of reminds me of the Ds, in a way.
• Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting - I love how first impressions shape character's relationships, and different first meetings are a great way to do it. What happens if these characters meet as children? As two mercenaries hired by the same person? In jail?
• Alternate Universe - Role Reversal - I'd love to see a backstory swap for various characters. What does young!Shanks think of Luffy and his cool Strawhat Pirate crew when they show up on his island? What happens if Bellemere and her new adoptees are the ones stranded with minimal resources, and Sanji's the one working for a dastardly pirate to protect the Baratie?
• Character Thinks No One is Coming to Save Them (Everyone is Coming to Save Them) - This is one of my ride-or-die tropes! Whether a version  of the incidents we see in-show (Arlong Park springs to mind) or a terrible misadventure of your own making, I am always all for a big damn heroes moment when someone thinks they're past redemption.
• Character Unexpectedly Turned Into a Child - This is another of my ride-or-die fanfic tropes because it so deftly combines (unwilling) backstory reveal, hurt/comfort, and lack of perspective from the now!child. Just a bunch of great tastes that taste great together.
• Hurt/Comfort - I love h/c so much! Favorite subtropes include: suffering hurt for someone else, unexpected comfort/comfort from an unexpected source, suffering stoically until the hurtee eventually breaks down, flip of typical hurtee/comfortee roles in a relatinship.
• Missing Scene - What happened when they were sailing along (or even on an island) that didn't get shown?
• Platonic Cuddling - Luffy is very physically affectionate, and that rubs off on everyone he meets.
• POV Outsider - I feel that Outsider POV allows for a lot of great worldbuilding (what does the outsider expect to see? why?), comedy (via misinterpretation of what's going on), and a real understanding that these people are Not Normal (said with love).
• Time Loop - I love a good time loop. What is the day/week/etc set to loop? How are they put into the loop, and what does it take to get out? How does the loop reset? What do the characters learn about themselves and each other in the loop, before breaking out of it with unexpected knowledge.
• Time Travel - I also really enjoy linear time travel. Whether change is possible or not, having characters experience an event from a new perspective (or just with future knowledge) lends an interesting POV to what's going on? How do people who haven't traveled react to the traveler?
• Time Travel Fix-It - And what happens when a character succeeds at fixing their past? How do they go about it, and are there knock-on effects they didn't intend?
• Whump - Because sometimes your faves need to suffer prettily. Combines well with h/c and everyone coming to the rescue.
• Worldbuilding - I am a huge worldbuilding fan, and One Piece has so many interesting possibilities! What does the history of this world look like? What does life look like logistically for different types of people, or islands in different places?

Akagami no Shanks | Red-Haired Shanks & Monkey D. Luffy

Alternate Universe - Daemons, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Alternate Universe - Role Reversal, Character Thinks No One is Coming to Save Them (Everyone is Coming to Save Them), Character Unexpectedly Turned Into a Child, Hurt/Comfort, Missing Scene, Platonic Cuddling, POV Outsider, Time Loop, Time Travel, Time Travel Fix-It, Whump, Worldbuilding

I love Luffy and Shanks' relationship! Shanks hasn't seen Luffy in years, but their time together has a very clear influence on who Luffy is as a person: his understanding of pirate ideals, the casualness with which he levels massive strength, his fierce ties to friends, his tendency to be chill in situations he should probably be taking a little bit more seriously… I love it.

I'd love to see Luffy encounter Shanks again, now that they're captain to captain, or perhaps encounter him in a different way the first time - a prisoner of Garp's he helps escape? (Or a total roleswap, where baby!Shanks is overawed by adult!pirate!Luffy and friends - or even a time travel ouroboros version, where Shanks was influenced by Luffy and time travels back - on purpose or on accident - to influence him in turn.) How do they get along, now that they're closer to peers? What happens if there's a reversal of the seaking incident, where Luffy needs to save his mentor?

Coby & Monkey D. Luffy

Alternate Universe - Daemons, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Alternate Universe - Role Reversal, Character Thinks No One is Coming to Save Them (Everyone is Coming to Save Them), Character Unexpectedly Turned Into a Child, Hurt/Comfort, Missing Scene, Platonic Cuddling, POV Outsider, Time Loop, Time Travel, Time Travel Fix-It, Whump, Worldbuilding

Coby and Luffy make such an interesting pair - hopeful pirate and would-be marine on a pirate ship, the one too calm about the situation and the one not calm enough, both about to get their understandings of the world tested. I'd love to see how their interactions evolve over time, either in an AU where Coby joins the Strawhats or as they face each other from opposite sides of the law. Do they come to understand the other (and their point of view) more over time, or less? (It could be fun to have an outside Marine POV wondering wtf is up with the two of them.)

Expanding on their time together in canon could also be really fun. What do they do when they're still on the ship together? What misadventures do they have getting to the Marine branch, and how could they end up having misadventures together once they got there?

I'd also really enjoy an AU where the sides are flipped - earnest new Marine Coby has to help get Luffy out of a corrupt base, or maybe Coby is an unintentional stowaway that allies himself with Alvida's unwilling cabin boy, Luffy.

Bell-mère & Nami & Nojiko, Nami & Nojiko

Alternate Universe - Daemons, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Alternate Universe - Role Reversal, Character Thinks No One is Coming to Save Them (Everyone is Coming to Save Them), Character Unexpectedly Turned Into a Child, Hurt/Comfort, Missing Scene, Platonic Cuddling, POV Outsider, Time Loop, Time Travel, Time Travel Fix-It, Whump, Worldbuilding, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies

I love what we got of Nami's family, and I'd love to see more. What's Nojiko's perspective on Nami turning to Arlong (at the time she makes her deal, in the years after, it all in retrospect once Arlong Park has been stormed)? How does their relationship change after season 1? Are they in contact at all while Nami is at sea?

I'd love to see Bellmere's relationship with her daughters in more detail, especially how it changes over time. For a nobody dies AU, I'd equally love an AU where Arlong never comes (...to Cocoyashi) and Nami becomes a cat burglar for other reasons to a version where Bellemere somehow survives Arlong coming (someone else dies instead? Taken prisoner? Narrowly survives but this needs to be kept secret?) and has to deal with Nami's choices afterwards. (Does Nami still decide to try to buy the village back with her mother still alive or does she try something else? Does Bellemere try to get some old Marine friends to help, and if so how does that go?)

For the time travel tags, I'd love to see a loop centered around Arlong's initial arrival (or maybe a varying-length one centered around the destruction of Arlong village), or Nami (and friends?) going back to that day, to change things or merely to observe them. Or maybe Nami isn't the one travelling at all; maybe Bellemere's in a loop that resets when her daughters die, or Nojiko is the one who flashes back/sideways and realizes why Nami joined the pirates (and now has to keep this a secret from everyone, including her sister).

Focus: Nami

Alternate Universe - Daemons, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Alternate Universe - Role Reversal, Character Thinks No One is Coming to Save Them (Everyone is Coming to Save Them), Character Unexpectedly Turned Into a Child, Hurt/Comfort, Missing Scene, Platonic Cuddling, POV Outsider, Time Loop, Time Travel, Time Travel Fix-It, Whump, Worldbuilding, Heists

Nami is my favorite character in the LA; I really like her complicated motives, the way she's internally one step to the side of everyone else and how that builds to the dramatic reveal at the end. I'd love to see more of her time with the Arlong Pirates (or her thought process in proposing the deal) and more of her reaction in the aftermath of finally having them gone, and dealing with everything that's happened since.

For the de-aging tag in specific, I think her taciturn nature surrounding her backstory is great fodder for dramatic irony. Is she pre-Arlong, a kid with clear money issues but only the hangups around pirates that a devil-may-care Marine would impress upon her? Is she post-Arlong, with this new tattoo no one's seen before and amped up about something she's utterly unwilling to talk about.

For the time travel tags, I'd love to see a loop centered around Arlong's initial arrival (or maybe a varying-length one centered around the destruction of Arlong village), or Nami (and friends?) going back to that day, to change things or merely to observe them.

I also love Nami's thieving abilities, and I'd love to see a quick little heist she does on a crew (or Marine ship) that only realizes what hit them in retrospect.

Kuina & Roronoa Zoro

Alternate Universe - Daemons, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Alternate Universe - Role Reversal, Character Thinks No One is Coming to Save Them (Everyone is Coming to Save Them), Character Unexpectedly Turned Into a Child, Hurt/Comfort, Missing Scene, Platonic Cuddling, POV Outsider, Time Loop, Time Travel, Time Travel Fix-It, Whump, Worldbuilding, Kuina (One Piece) Lives

This is a really impactful backstory scene, and I'd love to see more of Kuina and Zorro (either as children post-pact or in an AU where Kuina lives). How does their rivalry change over time; are they always the other's best competition, or do they mutually shift their sites on defeating/dealing with a specific person? How would Kuina fare in Zorro's shoes, were he the one to have the terrible childhood accident and she the one determined to keep their shared dream moving forward? As Kuina grows (and Zorro grows with her), does everything she's been told about swordswomen come true, or does she continue her dominance over the dojo (and come to the realization that she's internalized a bunch of nonsense)? If Kuina and Zorro both survive and continue as rivals, do they go out together, or do they separate and find each other again on the road of life?

For time-travel, I'd love an AU where Zorro saves Kuina (either traveling deliberately back to do it or getting lost in the timestream rather than on land); what knock-on effects happen because she survived? It could also be interesting to have her, rather than die from the accident, be catapulted forward in the timestream, and now seeking out her old friend (who's now significantly older than her and has also been putting her sword in his mouth).

Monkey D. Luffy & Nami & Roronoa Zoro & Usopp & Vinsmoke Sanji

Alternate Universe - Daemons, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Alternate Universe - Role Reversal, Character Thinks No One is Coming to Save Them (Everyone is Coming to Save Them), Character Unexpectedly Turned Into a Child, Hurt/Comfort, Missing Scene, Platonic Cuddling, POV Outsider, Time Loop, Time Travel, Time Travel Fix-It, Whump, Worldbuilding

I love all the Strawhats, and I'd love to see them working together in whatever way (and at whatever time) you choose.

For a different first meeting or role reversal, I'd love a backstory swap of the Strawhats. Maybe Luffy is the one constantly declaring Shanks is coming back, or Sanji is the one fighting hard to save the Baratie from someone demanding tribute money from it. What changes about the Strawhats here, and what stays the same? I'd also be into an AU where they meet under different circumstances (all getting arrested at the Marine branch, or meeting in jail) or for a different purpose (forming a Marine squad, maybe?).

For getting turned into a child, I'd love the characters to get a chance to witness (and maybe compare notes on, if this is a running thing) each other's terrible backstories. If they're all made children at once, how do they work together against whatever made them that way?

For the time travel tags, I'd love to see the Strawhats interfering in each other's backstories (maybe not in the ways that they were intending to), or maybe all journeying together to a time and place they know nothing about.

Hello crossworker,

I go by Brachylagus_fandom on AO3. I love all these canons, and I can't wait to see how you put them together! In each request, I've written about a paragraph of what I'd like in a crossover about each canon and spitballed a couple of specific ideas, but feel free to go with something completely different if inspiration strikes. 
 

DNWs: smut (kiss or fade-to-black is fine), gore

General Likes

• Worldbuilding - how do the canons mesh together? If it's a fusion, how do characters' roles in Canon A transfer into Canon B?
• Outsider POV, characters jumping to very wrong conclusions due to a missing frame of reference, two groups in the same place for different goals
• Casefic, heistfic, and missionfic
• Humor
• Hurt/comfort
• Slice of life and character studies
