Yuri Valentines letter

dagas_isaDear Yuri Valentine,
Let me open this by saying that I hope you have fun with this assignment wherever it may take you. If you're an artist, I apologize for being fic-centric here, but I do have art prompts and would absolutely adore getting some, if that's what you do.
For fic, what I'm looking for in general is a plotty fic with some yuri elements. It doesn't have to be complex or world-shaking, but I'd love it if the characters were doing something in addition to being in love with each other or hooking up.
For art, I'd like to see a bit of context to the image. It doesn't have to be complex, but I'd really love to have a sense of time and place. If you illustrated a single moment in any of these prompts, I'd be really happy.
I am totally fine with smut and even some kink if that's where your brain takes you for any of these prompts. I'm not a fan of character death and violence in general. I don't mind it if things take a darker turn, but I do want there to be a core of hope to the story. Character bashing is a no-go, even for characters I haven't requested.
The rest of this letter is going into further detail for each of the prompts, and digging into some sloppy headcanon I have.
Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2
My craving for this fandom is some Rikku/Paine kidfic. Rikku mentioned something during Final Fantasy X about really wanting to become a mother someday, and while I see Paine as being less enthusiastic, I can see her coming around to the idea. How it happens doesn't really matter to me, though I'd prefer minimal male-character involvement if possible (F-preg with Rikku as the mother or adoption would be great).
I'd also really like it if they were still traveling across Spira while all this is happening, or at least planning on traveling in the near future.
I'm not necessarily interested in babyfic, or anything focused on the kids. I'd like this to be about Rikku and Paine as parents. What I'd really love is either right after they figure out they're becoming parents, and making adjustments or a story taking place further in the future where they're wandering Spira with an older child (5-10 would be the ideal age) and having family time together.
If kids just aren't your thing and you matched on this fandom (my other two prompts aren't for kidfic), then anything featuring Rikku and Paine traveling across Spira would be fine.
Final Fantasy XII
Mostly, I'd like a future-Penelo story. Penelo/Ashe, Penelo/Fran, or Penelo/Fran/Ashe are all possibilities I'd love to see explored. I multiship like heck here. Though for a long term thing, I do prefer Penelo/Fran over Penelo/Ashe. But otherwise, go for it.
I mentioned in my prompt that I'd love it if Penelo were working with one or both of them in a business arrangement. She could be an advisor or lady-in-waiting to Ashe or working with Fran and Balthier as a fence and generally getting them into places that would otherwise be off limits for them. I kind of imagine that later on, Penelo is able to exploit her connections to various powerful people to make a career out of it.
But anyway, what I'd like to see is Penelo, with a lady, mixing business with pleasure (or love), trying to avoid mixing business with pleasure (or love) and kind of failing at it, or finding out a way to balance a professional relationship with a personal one.
Final Fantasy XIII
I want to see Fang and Vanille in an AU where they didn't have to become l'Cie. I really love them, and would like to see them happy, in whatever weird form that might take. They could be on Cocoon with the rest of the cast somehow, or down on an alternate version of Pulse that hasn't been abandoned. Adventures and encounters with gigantic fauna are encouraged.
Also, I will say that I am a huge Vanille fan, so any focus on her would be lovely, especially if it involves her convincing Fang that she's more capable and independent than Fang sometimes gives her credit for.
Anyway, I hope this helps you, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
