Propaganda for both ships under the cut.

Yaeona Propaganda (Age Gap - Yae is over 2000 and Diona is 12 at most, MinorxAdult, AdultxChild, Species Difference - Yae is a Kitsune Youkai and Diona is a non-Youkai Cat-Human Hybrid, Power Imbalance)

"While the two haven't met in canon yet as far as I'm aware, Yae would be the type to take quick interest in Diona. Yae, in canon, already adores anyone with a cute set of fluffy ears and an adorable tail. She teases the character Gorou about such traits, and I can see her doing the same with Diona. Yae also has an interest in those who fall outside the norm of how the universe tends to work, and Diona was granted a blessing by a Spring Fairy so that any drink she mixes will be delightful to all who try it (despite wanting to make these drinks taste horrid). Yae would be able to pick up on such magic and be drawn to it."

"Diona herself is incredibly tsundere when it comes to accepting affection, but she's also quite capable of understanding her own boundaries. The issue comes when Diona's tsundere attitude and legitimate boundaries sound SO similar in tone and wording. Yae's the head of a Publishing Agency and huge fan of Light Novels with certain tropes, she'd fall head over heels for anyone expressing a tsundere attitude in this way. Even if Diona tried to put proper boundaries in place, Yae would likely chuckle away that it's cute to see a cat-person huffing and complaining with adorable pouts and puffed cheeks. Also, Kitsune have different rules for their bonding with mortals than two mortals may have together, so while not confirmed in canon it is possible that Yae sees no wrong with the age gap even if Diona does"

Kenshep Propaganda (Abusive Dynamic, Themes of Dubcon, Potental Noncon)

"John physically held Michael down to the operating table while other members of the Atlantis expidition forcibly turned him human, and then helped gaslight him into believing he was always human when the process wiped his memories (even though it didn't work and he eventually recovered his real memories). Michael, on the other side of things, murdered all of John's friends and drove the rest of the Atlantis expidition out of the Pegasus galaxy (in an alternate timeline, but John still possesses this knowledge)."

"John directly threatens to kill him at one point and Michael's response is `bitch, do it` (except Michael is much more eloquent about it). Michael, before he was turned into a human and then a hybrid, was a space vampire (wraith) who eats humans, and John is SUCH a monsterfucker, like, goddamn. Michael is also an obsessive bastard, like. If the show hadn't been an absolute PUSSY about utilizing Michael as a villain the POTENTIAL he had with John could've been INCREDIBLE, like seriously, analyzing these two characters they would've been scarily good foils for each other, and would've made for so much more interesting nemeses than John's canonical nemesis imo."

Ask game: Cornered Animal!

This is the original one I've been writing where Michael gets a redemption arc, except he ALSO gets to go even more feral than he did in canon, and bc Kenshep is my OTP, it's also a Kenshep fic! ^_^

I haven't done much outside of outlining yet but I do have a snippet of dialogue I want to write between Michael and John, because one of the first things that gets Michael on the path to redemption is that he gets an actual, proper apology, so here it is:

(John) "What do you want from me?!"

(Michael) "Oh, I don't know, an apology would be nice!"

(John) "You want an apology? Fine! I'm sorry. I'm sorry we hurt you, I'm sorry we fucked up!"

(Michael) "Wait, you are?"

(John) "Yes!"

It hasn't been properly written in yet so that's why it's just some back and forth dialogue with no tags or anything, but it's the piece of dialogue that inspired the entire fic!

You ever have a character and like. He's a butch lesbian. He's bisexual, but in an asexual way. He's asexual but in a bisexual way. He's an ace bisexual but in a lesbian way. He's butch4butch. You ship him with another male character, but in a dyke way. You feel me?

Michael, pretending to be normal: I love you! (with the implication that I want to smother you in your sleep)

John, also pretending to be normal: I love you too! (with the implication that I want you to smother me in my sleep)
