Dear Rarepair Creator,

Thank you so much for taking the time to create something for this challenge! In this letter, I've put together my likes and DNWs, as well as a few prompts for each pairing. Think of these prompts as mild suggestions and jumping-off points, and feel free to disregard them if you have a different idea of what you want to write. Above all, have fun with this! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with! :)

Fandom: Transistor
Relationship: Red/Mr. Nobody
Medium: Fanfic
Prompts/Suggestions:
I love the dynamic between these two: gentle giant and tiny spitfire. And I'd love to see anything about their time together before the game, be it friendly interactions, friends-to-lovers, or an intimate evening together. I also wouldn't mind seeing them together in the Country, so long as they have a happy ending.

Fandom: Final Fantasy VI
Relationships: Celes Chere/Terra Branford | Daryl/Setzer Gabbiani
Medium: Fanfic
Prompts/Suggestions:
For Celes/Terra - I love the contrast between these two, and I wonder if they were often competitive with each other, whether consciously or not? Were they childhood rivals, perhaps? Or maybe they even came close to being friends back then. How does Celes feel about how the Empire (and, complicity, herself) used Terra? How does both of them turning away from the Empire affect their relationship? After the events of the game, how often do they keep in touch? Do they travel together, or settle down somewhere peaceful to enjoy their lives?

For Daryl/Setzer - I love to think of them as a high-flying, daredevil couple, who aren't averse to a little bit of competition between themselves. The game hints that Daryl was a very spirited woman, and I think her personality would play quite nicely with Setzer's chill formality. Basically, I just want to see fireworks between these two, however hot you want them to get! ;)

Fandom: Final Fantasy VIII
Relationships: Rinoa Heartilly/Quistis Trepe | Julia Heartilly/Fury Caraway
Medium: Fanfic
Prompts/Suggestions:
For Rinoa/Quistis - I've often said that this pairing is similar to Squinoa, but with a more forthcoming partner in Quistis. I think it's a perfect pairing to play to both characters' strengths: Rinoa's warm, outgoing nature thawing Quisty's reserve, while Quistis can bring a little bit of practicality to Rinoa's more quixotic moments. I think there would be quite a playful element to this pairing as well, and I'd love to see both women blossom into better versions of themselves in each other's affection.

For Julia/Caraway - Maybe I'm a total sap, but I like to believe that they had an honest, loving relationship, that Laguna was just a crush that Julia grew out of. I'd like to see how they met, what their courtship was like, what married life was like for them. We don't get much in the way of character development for either of them in-game, so this would be a great opportunity to look into what makes each of them tick and how they ended up together.

Fandom: Final Fantasy X
Relationship: Auron/Lulu
Medium: Fanfic
Prompts/Suggestions:
I love this pairing of the mature, slightly grumpy guardians, and I love the subtle contrast between their personalities. Auron's seen it all before, and is understandably cynical at times, while Lulu, despite her seriousness, maintains a genuine streak of hope. I would love to see them discuss what is happening throughout their journey, tend to one another's wounds, or simply throw all caution to the wind and embrace a moment of passion.
