Magic Kaito

I've been a lurking fan of Magic Kaito for pretty close to a decade now, and Sagukai is a long-term fave. I love the push-pull between them, especially when their rivalry turns one-sided and Kaito doesn't notice. More generally, anything exploring the interpersonal dynamics between the characters will be adored. For many of the opt-in mediums, I think it could be VERY fun (and funny) to see in-universe documents relating to Kaitou Kid heists and/or the taskforce's paperwork. (I'd consider any variations on this to fall under Kaitou Kid & Nakamori Ginzo if needed <3)

Fandom-specific DNW:
Heavily leaning on Detective Conan characters/canon. References are totally fine, as is having DetCo characters feature as plot-relevant side characters, but I would like the focus to be on Magic Kaito characters/canon.

Fandom-specific likes:
Ekoda kids dynamics
Saguru and Kaitou Kid working together (bonus points if Saguru is totally chill with it and Kaito is maximum suspicion)
Nakamori introspection on past Kid versus present Kid
Future fics where Kaito is struggling with maintaining Kid + his relationships, and the consequences thereof
Paperwork humor

Miraculous Ladybug

I am still catching up on Miraculous Ladybug, so please avoid spoilers for anything that happens after season 2! (I might be caught up through S3 by the time the exchanges go live, but S2 is definitely safe.) I've been watching the French dub and prefer that scripting to the English localization. French or English proper names ("Papillon/Hawk Moth") are both fine with me!

In general, my favorite things about ML are the love square shenanigans and Adrien's loneliness + devotion to Ladybug. AUs are welcome!

Fandom-specific DNW:
English dub catch phrases ("Claws out/Spots on") -- I'm fine with just omitting those kinds of announcements entirely, but "Transform me" and other direct translations of the French script are a good alternative!
Dom Adrien | Chat Noir
Gabriel Agreste's parental behavior portrayed as normal/appropriate parenting (exceptions: people who are canonically aligned with Gabriel, like his assistant)

Fandom-specific Likes
Any permutation of the love square! Marichat is my favorite for the angst potential, but they all have great appeal
Cat-like behaviors for Adrian | Chat Noir; ladybug-like behaviors for Marinette | Ladybug
Chat Noir being a giant punny flirt and Ladybug playing oblivious to how genuine his feelings are
Angst with a happy ending
Adrien whump + comfort / Adrien getting a support network
Identity porn
Misunderstandings related to secret identities

Princess Tutu

AKA the best anime ever ;). My favorite thing about Princess Tutu is how meta it gets + the general theme of self-aware characters struggling against the story itself, so anything that explores or plays off that will have my undying love. Any of the nominated ships for this fandom are also welcome. Bonus points for ballet/folk tale/classical music references!

Fandom-specific DNW:
Sex with Ahiru in duck form

Fandom-specific likes:
Ahiru loving everyone unreservedly
Fakir's struggle to rewrite the narrative being portrayed via the narrative
The characters being aware of their role as fictional characters
Getting creative with the standard structure/limitations of the medium(s)
-->I listed "Any medium" for this request, so please: Go the fuck off and have a blast :D
