Hi there!
This is AO3 user intimacies. I'm super excited for this exchange, and I hope you are, too! What's most important to me is that you, dear gifter, have fun with whatever you choose to create–if you had fun writing it, then I'll have fun reading it.
So, I'm just going to outline some general likes/dislikes to bounce off from if you'd like, as well as my list of requests for ease of reference. I'm totally fine with NSFW stuff too, if that's the path you wanna follow (and if you don't wanna, that's super cool too)! The only thing I ask is that you please respect my 'dislikes/do not wants' list, and I look forward to seeing what you create C:
Thanks for reading, & have a lovely day ♥

Meanwhile, Karasuma is pragmatic without being cynical, for all that he tries to seem like one. He wants friends but can't stand the idea of setting himself up for disappointment; he dislikes leadership but constantly seeks out and takes care of his companions. Karasuma initially appears to be the more logic-driven between the two of them, but when it comes down to it, Karasuma's loyalty stems from attachment and affection, whereas Takayama's stems from–charisma? Potential? Who even knows, really. But they stand out to each other, a back-and-forth magnetism that carries their whole group forward, and that's the constant.Also the interview with Tanabe about how their characters were conceptualised to complement each other, thank you for my life FOREVER.
The way Robin shuts herself away after Arthur's death really gets to me, because it's not any less impersonal than she was before, only this time she's walled her own feelings away, too: Arthur only ever wanted her to be herself, and that was enough, but now he's gone and she doesn't want to be just herself, anymore, because how could that ever be enough? Robin's current state is simultaneously haunted by what will never be, and resigned to what–who–she must now be.

I'm intrigued by what they were, or might've been to each other once, and where they could stand now. Both of them are mentor figures to figure skaters, too, and the contrasts are really interesting to observe: Lilia agreed to teach Yuri (the rising protege of her ex-husband) ballet because Yuri wants to win, because Yuri will re-invent himself as many times as necessary, because Lilia nurtures beauty and Yuri holds himself like art; Minako taught Yuuri (the son of her longtime friend and former fellow dancer) dance since he was a child, and watched him grow up between dance and skating, one love to another, following after his idol/ideal Viktor, while never quite allowing himself to accept and believe the love and support he is constantly surrounded by, because he cannot quite believe in himself.
Lilia and Minako have walked close but never quite shared circles for years and years, and any point at which they do (or don't) intersect feel so, so full of potential to me.

I think one of the most telling moments about their relationship is how Mujin covered Ashina's absence when Ashina went on his soul-searching trip in search of his birth family for "no longer than 6 months, or I'll kill you myself before the Khan ever finds you," but when the Khan did send a man after Ashina, Mujin totally went out to kill him (putting himself at risk for treason) to keep Ashina safe.
(Except Ashina returns as Mujin's chasing him, and Ashina knocks out the guy without knowing anything except that if Mujin was out to get him, that was reason enough to take someone out, god.)
Anything that explores his time in the Tower away from Hell Train squad, like when he first encounters Hockney, would be really interesting! Or even his adventures with Hell Train squad, before-/during-/after- the incident with Hoaquin.
....Or, you know. There's something to be said about a beautiful man with dubiously forbidden magic that manifests as rose vines, thorns included. You know.
The loyalty to each other that surpasses the belonging in Hell Train squad ;____;
('Thank you, Daniel–right now, I'm so in love that I'm not afraid of death.' / 'I don't hate you for saving me, I hate you for stopping me from dying with her.' / 'Thank you, and I love you, too....That's the first thing I ever wanted to tell you, if you cam back.'
Okay, there is technically no reason to slot Jinsung/Koon in the same bullet point but quite frankly 85% of my Jinsung/Koon wishlist is fucky mentorship, porn optional. Jinsung holds none of the devotion and esteem for Koon that he has for Baam, but there is a recognition there, of sorts. These two competent, coldly logical individuals drawn to a bright, bright person. However, where Jinsung has come to terms with what he wants and what he's willing to do to obtain that, Koon isn't, and the gap in experience and self-acceptance is startling, potentially devastating and always filled with potential. Also, y'know, I think about [Jinsung voice] didn't your father ever teach you manners? and then [Koon voice] Sorry, I'm an abandoned child, so I was never educated......like. Please, god, educate him.

- Jack Atlas/Fudou Yusei/Crow Hogan, Jack Atlas/Fudou Yusei/Crow Hogan/Izayoi Aki, Jack Atlas/Fudou Yusei/Crow Hogan/Kiryu Kyousuke, Jack Atlas/Crow Hogan
Or: Kizuna in various permutations, adding or subtracting friends. I live for the knowledge that Jack/Yusei/Crow grew up together but even when they drifted apart they never grew apart, they're constantly returning to each other, moving forward parallel to or beside each other.
I'm curious how Aki would factor into their dynamic, how she fits into their group but is obviously most close to Yusei, and isn't that similar to how Kiryu was, too? Not like Team Satisfaction ended particularly well, and Aki isn't Kiryu but the ripples that remain in Kiryu's absence are interesting to think about. Or even the days when Kiryu was around, and everything appeared within reach, however naively.
Then, of course, Jack and Crow, duellists at heart (Yusei is a duellist, too, but there's a difference between excelling at something and wanting, needing to keep going at something). The banter that's never without affection, or exasperation, and the way they operate on the same wavelength that is similar to, but not exactly the same as, the way the function when they're with Yusei.

Perhaps in another world, or in another time, they'll be something kinder to and for each other. You see hints of it, too, in their banter and the way they look at each other even now and–but not understand, not yet, but they could, and that isn't nothing.
