Idea 65.
This is more of me putting down premises/dynamics/situations I want to write instead of quirks and pairings but I had a lot of them and figured I'd post for feedback and what caught peoples' interests. Feel free to recommend characters and quirks to me for any of these.
Beyond Hate
I really want to do something with two characters that just despise each other.
Like, they legitimately hate one another so much that they've basically become obsessed with them. I feel it'd get to explore a more opposing look on the characters, especially using outside POVs, in which a purely bad side comes out despite them being an overall good person. I don't know why I'm so invested in this idea for characters.

One Foot Off
I need to do something with neighbors.
It just feels like a slam dunk for what I do. There's a level of closeness while still retaining that degree of privacy between one another and I can include a lot of content at a slow pace since they'd be seeing each other practically everyday in short bursts. Giving the other food, accidentally overhearing something, meeting when they leave and get back, there's all kinds of things I can readily use. There's even different dynamics I can do in regards to what kind of neighbors they are. Is it apartments? In that case next door or one above and the other below? Is it houses then how did they come to interact so much? I feel that I gravitate to apartments though cause there's more there with less hoops to go through.

Still You
Childhood friends reuniting but they haven't seen/been in contact for a long time and one of them is now vastly different.
Look...It's specific but there's stuff there. The reminiscing, character examination since we have the start and end point, introspection on both sides, I can work a lot into that. There's quite of a few stories and mangas with the premise that I really enjoyed and the idea comes back to me often.

Take Two
Time travel crosses my mind here and there when I draft out ideas.
Whether it's the two characters I focus on or just one so they can meet another character, I want to play around with the idea. Plus I can play around with certain events that I don't really get to use or make other ones as well. Plus there's also the whole future knowledge coming into play here and there but that'll depend on the personality I go with too.

Rumor
I want to do some nonsensical shit that has no explanation.
Like the pairings' closets turn into portals to the others' at certain times or they swap bodies at times either randomly or set. Maybe they go into a shared dream world and can interact or there's some weird world event that only the two of them can act during or one of them can read the other's mind inexplicably. That just sounds so fun to me and I really like wacky stuff like this in stories.

One Half
Soul mates is a premise I mull over a lot.
I'm not a big fan of the standard use of it but I think there can be interesting things there. Whenever I consider it I build around soul mates as if it's well known in the world and there being lore behind it. That's to say I explain why soul mates are not all romantic. While for the pairing I'd use it romantically I also wanted to play with the idea of it shows up at a certain age so there's an initial gap in which it's unknown and the characters are interacting without the knowledge. Therefore the idea I had is that the pair may have some issues with each other only to find out they're soul mates. Another branch off from that though was one of them finds out and, as I usually depict it with thread from one to the other, severs the thread somehow in a panic. Idk it's one I revisit time to time but have trouble progressing on.

Support
I want one of the characters to provide/being caring for the other.
I don't know how or why yet but I want to do something with this idea. This is more one of just purely fun and fluff with little to no complex feeling. Just character A taking care of character B cause that's nice to read and write sometimes.

Left Not Right
So I often change Izumi around but I can just as easily do so with other characters.
Every now and again I give a little twist on Itsuka, though not full changing like Izumi, but I wouldn't mind giving the same treatment to her or any other character. Just take a certain event, or make one in line with them originally, and have them make a different choice or conclusion and then we have a different version of them. I also don't mind playing around with them having another quirk but I'm thinking more personality wise at the moment.

Secret Code
I kinda like when a pairing starts with a harmless secret.
Specifically I imagine one character either secretly being super down bad for the other unbeknownst to them or for a character to really like the other while not knowing that it's them. Think of person B being an artist/singer/etc who doesn't show their face and person A really likes their stuff and person B hears about it but doesn't say anything yet. It's really specific but I still think it can be an enjoyable read and write.
Anyway, I'd really appreciate any sort of feedback and the like.
It helps me progress on the addressed ideas which means more content which you all thought was interesting. Many of them will likely join the yuri fic per usual but I have no cap on how long a story is there, I mean Waning Moon has over 20 chapters, so just cause it's there doesn't mean it'll has to be short and even then some of these might become their own fully realized standalone.
