機動戦士ガンダム 鉄血のオルフェンズ | Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans(Atra Mixta, Kudelia Aina Bernstein, Fumitan Admoss)
If you’re interested in writing darkfic about these characters, I would also love to read about Fumitan’s resentful feelings for and occasional mistreatment and deception of Kudelia and how that effects her. Fumitan’s conscience clearly was bothering her about it from at least the moment when Kudelia gave her a matching pendant to wear, and it seems surprising that Fumitan would only under those circumstances realize how much she means to Kudelia and can influence her. I would still love for Atra to be a soothing balm to Kudelia, but by no means feel that you need to shy away from the intensity of feelings Kudelia might be having about Fumitan and their relationship. Feel free to engage with canonical character deaths, psychological trauma, and the after-effects of survivor’s guilt in a family-bonded group like the one Tekkadan is building together. Above I have specified no parent-child incest, and while Fumitan is an older woman who has been a caretaker for Kudelia, I don’t see their relationship as familial and so if you’d like to write them with a sexually charged dynamic that’s fair game.
Darkfic specific tropes for this fandom: manipulating a person or their worldview, emotional abuse, neglect, love-hate relationships, death and its aftermath, body horror, PTSD, co-dependence and themes of helplessness.
Gundam 00 ANY (Graham Aker, Setsuna F. Seiei, Tieria Erde, Sumeragi Lee Noriega)
If you’re interested in writing darkfic about these characters and the universe, I’d especially love something that focuses on either the emotional aftermath of Tieria’s breakdown, Sumeragi’s alcohol addition, or Graham and Setsuna’s extreme obsessiveness about Gundam. All three would be amazing. Everyone’s a miserable wreck in space, but at least they’re miserable together (making each other more or less miserable by turns), because living is itself a battle. Similarly if you’d like to focus on Setsuna’s trauma as a child of war and his willingness to engage for the greater good, I’d love to read about his (and everyone else’s) coping mechanisms and how well they do or do not function for the characters as people.
Darkfic specific tropes for this fandom: addiction, survivor’s guilt, social anxiety, gender dysphoria, dissociation and unreality, PTSD, obsessive fixation, and themes of losing control.
少年ハリウッド | Shounen Hollywood (Anime) ANY (Amaki “Makki” Ikuma, Saeki Kira, Maiyama Shun, Cat (Shounen Hollywood))
If you’re interested in writing darkfic for this, I’d especially love a focus on the challenges for people getting into the idol industry and celebrity itself. The guys’ inability to be themselves in public without risking breaking character, having to keep their guard up, the paranoia and separation from self that come with performance and the rush of the reward that is fans’ accolades and approval -- if it comes, while it lasts. Something about their struggling to do the work, to adapt to the lifestyle, or to find satisfaction within it would be ideal.
Darkfic tropes for this fandom: identity confusion, dissociation and unreality, emotional emptiness or apathy, depression, insecurity, performance anxiety, and distrust.
幸腹グラフィティ | Koufuku Graffiti | Gourmet Girl Graffiti (Anime) ANY (Machiko Ryou, Morino Kirin, Shiina (Koufuku Graffiti), Tsuyuko (Koufuku Graffiti))
If you’re interested in writing darkfic for this (incredibly light) fandom, I’d love something that deals with Ryou’s grief and isolation after her grandmother’s death. I’d also be interested in reading about Kirin’s family’s opinions on her moving in with Ryou -- they are cousins, but their relationship can definitely be read as having romantic or sexual tension, so if you’re interested in exploring the two of them dealing with living together as a couple and the consequences of that, feel free!
Darkfic tropes for this fandom: loss, death and its aftermath, depression (especially things like the food tasting wrong when Ryou is down), fear of rejection, and loneliness
If you’re interested in writing darkfic for this, PLEASE DO. Because the character list and my sign-up were so long for this fandom, I’m just going to list darkfic tropes I’d enjoy seeing with any of the characters in the tagset: agency and consent, abusive relationships, child abuse, child abandonment, coercion, mind control, if only you had known then what you know now, dissociation and unreality, depression, loneliness, impostors, forced separations or collaborations, death and its aftermath, and themes of futility.
