If you wish to know the truth, I'm an awful artist. That's reason number two why there's no pictures (number one is that I can put more stuff in the same amount of space). So I would like to know if people want to draw some of my fav characters, fanfic characters, or scenes from my fics for me. In return, I can give you some of my (not so great) art drawn on wide ruled paper. You can use the couple and game list below as a guide of what to draw, or to ask for. You will also get a shout out on my "Thank You" page.
Here is how you read the list...
If a couple has a (s) after it, that means it's directly stated in the game/show that they're a couple, and I feel funny breaking them up, even if I wasn't too keen on it. I am now going to rate them individually with the (s) before the number so you can see how keen I am on the pairing.
If a couple has a (2) after it, it's a second-rate couple. Meaning, I will write about them, and like them, but I'm not fanatical about them. I could care less if the story I'm reading splits them up. I can even have a character appear twice in a second-rate couple list.
If a couple has a (1) after it, it's a first rate couple. Meaning, they are favorites of mine, and I tend not to read fics if they get split up, unless I was unaware (no one marked it), or someone recommended the story (the only exception is if the broken pairing(s) is/are reworked as 1 or more (3) pairings).
But if a (1) or (s) couple has the word FANATIC after it, that means I'm a rabid fangirl for it. I tend to leave a fic that I've started if I don't find them together, unless the romance started so late that the plot has got me intrigued.
Finally, a (3) is one I really don't like, but don't hate; meaning I most likely won't write about it, but it has a reason for existing that will be listed below the grouping.
You can draw any of these couples, but don't request me to draw something that breaks up a FANATIC labeled couple. Any other unlisted couple is game (especially if one of them isn't coupled with anyone in the list), who knows you might get me into one I hadn't considered before.
Oh...and if you're not an artist you can also use these pairings for fic trades (in LJ-Memes I've probably put the list in my profile) or just to trade fics with me for kicks. Heck, you'd get a more quality result than if you asked me to draw.
Tales of... Series
Cless & Mint (s, 1), Chester & Arche (1), Klarth & Mirald (1), Stahn & Rutee (s, FANATIC), Mary & Dalis (s, 1), Leon & Marian (s, 1), Leon & Philia (3), Leon & Chelsea (3), Leon & Lilith (3), Hugo & Chris (s, 1), Baccus & Lilith (s? it's assumed he's Rimul's dad due to the Drama CDs, 1), Reid & Farah (s, 1), Keele & Meredy (1), Kyle & Reala (s, 1), Loni & Nanaly (s, 1), Judas & Harold (1), Dymlos & Atwight (s, 1)
Lloyd & Collette (s, 2), Lloyd & Sheena (2), Zelos & Sheena (s, 2), Genis & Presea (1), Kratos & Anna (s, 1), Regal & Alicia (s, 1), Viegue & Claire (s, 1), Milhaust & Agarte (s, 1), Tytree & Annie (2), Senel & Shirley (s, 2), Senel & Chloe (2), Moses & Norma (2), Will & Amelia (s, 1), Luke & Tear (s, 1), Asch & Natalia (s, 2), Guy & Natalia (2), Ruca & Iria (s, 1), Yuri & Estelle (s, 2), Yuri & Judith (2), Karol & Rita (2)
Yes Stahn & Rutee are (s); they have a son in the Japanese-only sequel. In fact, all the (s) pairings for main heroes prior to Luke were confirmed in the "Tales of Fandom Gaiden Drama" that came with Japanese Tales of the Abyss pre-orders when the characters had a fight over who had the best girlfriend. And since Judas cried out, "Marian is obviously the best! You all have no eyes for women" during the whole thing, one might assume they were making Leon and Marian canon.
Our threes are here because sometimes crack pairings with Leon based on emotion are fun...and it's nice to see him with practically any female (sans his sister...ugh!).
Xenogears
Fei & Elly (s, 1), Bart & Margie (s, 1), Billy & Emeralda (2)
Star Ocean
Roddick/Ratix & Millie/Milly (s?, 1), Ronyx/Ronixis & Ilia/Iria (s, 1), Cyuss/Cius & Phia/Fear (s, 1), Claude & Rena (s, 1), Dias & Chisato (2), Noel & Celine (2), Ernest & Opera (2), Ashton & Precis (2), Fayte & Sophia (s, 2), Fayte & Nel (2), Fayte & Maria (2), Cliff & Mirage (1)
Ilia is definitely Claude's mom; she looks just like him, not to mention having similar end of battle poses as well as both doing the whole "10 out of 10" and "8 out of 10" end of battle quotes, not to mention her and Ronyx having the only alternate ending for either of them. The other (s) pairings are more guessing (though Cyuss and Phia have an ending together in First Departure) but I have an eye for canon so until someone proves it wrong they stay as (s).
Breath of Fire Series
Ryu & Nina (s or just 1, mattering the game), Bow & Katt (2), Rei & Momo (1), Scias & Ursula (2)
Suikoden
McDohl & Kasumi (1), Hero2 & Eilie (1), Flik & Odessa (s, 1), Pahn & Cleo (s, 1), Kirkis & Sylvina (s, 1), Tai Ho & Kimberly (s, 2), Kinnison & Ayda (s, 2), Hix & Tengaar (s, 1), Klaus & Sierra (2), Nash & Sierra (2), Hugo & Chris (2), Hugo & Lilly (2), Geddoe & Queen (1), Jacques & Aila (1), Percival & Chris (2), Borus & Chris (2), Akage & Mizuki (1), Kyril & Corselia (1, if she ever actually found him and never reported...), Andarc & Seneca (1), Prince & Lyon (1, though I think it might be s)
I know Odessa's dead, but I like to write AUs where she either is alive or is revived. I don't think poor Flik ever moved on (since he wasn't in Suiko 3). Oh, and the Kinnison/Ayda bit is played at the end if you get Sigfried, Feather, & the Five Squirrels in your party, as well as those two.
Vandal~Hearts
Ash & Eleni (s, 1), Amon & Sara (s, 1), Clint & Kira (s, 1), Joshua & Adele (1)
Even with two relationships in the ending...I prefer coupling him with Adele. They're lovers separated by fate, how sad.

SaGa Frontier
Ildon & Asellus (1), Ren & Emilia (s, 2), Rufus & Liza (2), Red & Yuria (2)
Beyond the Beyond
Finn & Annie (1)
Final Fantasy (this could take awhile)
Cecil & Rosa (s, 1), Edge & Rhydia (1), Bartz & Faris (2), Locke & Celes (1), Edgar & Terra (1), Gau & Relm (1)
Cloud & Tifa (1), Cloud & Aeris (1), Squall & Rinoa (s, 1), Irvine & Selphie (s, 1), Zell & Quistis (2), Seifer & Fujiin (2), Zidanne & Dagger (s, 1), Steiner & Beatrix (s, 1), Tidus & Yuna (s, 1), Wakka & Lulu (s, 1), Rikku & Gippal (1), Paine & Baralai (2), Leblanc & Nooj (s, 2), Vaan & Penelo (1), Balthier & Fran (1)
Ramza & Meliadoul (1), Mustadio & Alma (2), Beowulf & Reis (s, 1), Malak & Agrias (2), A Lancer named Ferdenan & Rafa (2), Olan & Balmafula (2), Monk Tyler & Ninja Tess (2), Archer Pete & Summoner Sage (2), Priest Leon & Samurai Margurita (2), Benjamin & Phoebe (2), Reuben & Kailie (2)
Weird seeing two (1) couples? Well, there's several reasons for this. First of all, in a regular set right after the game setting I prefer Cloud & Tifa. In AUs where she didn't die, or fics involving Aeris coming back to life, I would really like to see Aeris with him. Finally, in Kingdom Hearts II, the two had this really sweet scene, and since they were a possible couple...
Legend of Zelda
Link & Zelda (1 and perhaps s in some series)
Arcana
Rooks & Teefa (1), Darwin & Salah (1)
Lufia
Hero & Lufia (s, 1), Aguro & Jerin (s, 2), Maxim & Selan (s, 1), Guy & Jessie (s, 1), Wain & Seena (s, 1), Eldin & Rubius (1), Torma & Rammi (s?, 1), Dekar & Marin (s, 2), Dekar & Tia (2)
Yes, I know that Rubius and Irmis are stuck in the other dimension. But there could be a fic where they find a way to save them. I'd be the moron to write it, knowing me. Since Rammi and Torma have a traditional love/hate relationship going on, Eldin was left alone.
CIMA: The Enemy
Ark & Ivy (1), Ark & Philis (3) Jean & Eberle (s, 1), Doug & Ileyda (s, 1), Rick & Diana (s, 1), Vanrose & Shelley (s?, 1)
Reason for the (3) this time? One it's a pairing I really don't want to write but wouldn't mind reading if it came down to it (any CIMA fanfiction is incredibly rare so I don't have time to be as picky about Ark's love life). And I guess I might write a cracked out fairy tale or something with that pairing, seeing as Ivy wouldn't fit the typical fairy tale maiden.
Chrono Series
Chrono & Marle (s, 1), Serge & Kid (s, 1)
Mario
Mario & Peach (1), Luigi & Daisy (1)
Lagoon
Nasir & Felicia (1)
Kingdom Hearts
Sora & Kairi (1), Roxis & Namine (1)
For all Final Fantasy characters in KH, please refer to that section. I didn't type all their names out for a reason
Nippon Ichi Strategy Games
Cornet & Ferdinand (s, 1), [human] Kururu & Cello (s, 1), Marjorly & Kiel (s, 1), Marius & Cherie (s, 1), Prier & Croix (s, FANATIC), Alouette & Culotte (2), Eclair & Homard (s, 1), Culotte & Dominique (my OC) (2), Laharl & Flonne (s?, 1), Laharl & Etna (3), Marona & Ash (1), Zetta & Salome (s, he did call her his beloved in the Good Ending, 1), Adell & Rozalin (s, 1), Mao & Beryl (1), Almaz & Sapphire (s, 1)
Laharl & Etna being a (3) comes cuz there are some good fics out there with the coupling in it, however I can't write it to save my life so I can't elevate it to (2) while demoting Laharl & Flonne to the same rank.
Golden Sun
Isaac & Jenna (1), Garet & Mia (1), Felix & Sheba (1, FANATIC), Isaac & Mia (3), Garet & Jenna (3)
Our 2 (3)s exist because of the sheer diversity of pairing mix-ups; the only Felix & Sheba fics I find are usually IM & GJ. However, I CANNOT STAND IvanxSheba (there is no evidence pointing towards it besides age and elemental alignment...get over it people).
Atelier Iris
Klein & Lita (s, 1), Delsus & Marietta (1), Felt & Viese (s, 2), Felt & Noin (2), Felt & Fee (2), Poe & Mitsu (s, 1), Edge & Iris (1)

Phoenix & Maya (2), Phoenix & Iris (2), Gumshoe & Maggey (1), Diego & Mia (s, 1), Ron & Desiree (s, 1), Max & Regina (2), Klavier & Ema (1)
Fire Emblem
Will be sorting by continents, which usually signifies two games, since there are so many characters/pairings for Fire Emblem games...
Jugdral (Geneology of the Holy War & Thracia 776)
Sigurde & Diadora (s, 1), Cuan & Ethlin (s, 1), Mideel & Edain (2), Holin & Ayra (2), Lex & Ayra (2), Finn & Lachesis (s?, 2), Claude & Sylvia (2), Levin & Fury (s, 1), Jamuka & Bridgid (2), Azel & Tiltyu (2), Celice & Lana (1), Shanan & Lakche (2), Johan & Lakche (2), Skasaher & Yulia (1), Arthur & Fee (1), Leaf & Nanna (s, 1), Delmud & Patty (2), Corpul & Patty (2), Aless & Lynn (1), Arion & Altenna (s?, 1)
The reason Finn & Lachesis is (s?) is because it's hinted at in FE5 that Nanna is Finn's daughter, but it's also hinted at that her brother, Delmud, is Beowulf's son. Considering Beowulf out and out calls Lachesis on her crush on Finn in their Chapter 5 convo in FE4, plus Nanna is supposed to be younger than Leaf (so she had her after the battle of Bahara since Leaf was a baby then) and Lachesis going down to Lenster after the first generation, it actually makes sense in a story (but not gameplay) perspective.
In the case of Altenna & Arion, in FE5 Arion is supposed to have a fiance, however nothing ever comes of it in either game. Altenna's crush on him seems pretty canonical so it could be that they end up together.
As for poor Lakche, yes Shanan is her cousin and Johan could very well be if you paired Ayra with Lex. Unfortunately, her love value for those men is the two highest regardless so I doubt she cares. FE4 certainly doesn't care about the cousin relationships.
Finally, I also do support other pairings in certain situations. I'll only support Beowulf with Lachesis if it's the case of Delmud being their son while she gives birth to Nanna with Finn after her flight to Lenster. And I will go for the canonical pairing of Alvis and Diadora only if I was writing about Yulius and Yulia as kids (before the whole Loptos possession) since it did happen, but I'm not gonna read/write any lovey-dovey fics about them getting together without at least some mention of Diadora's lost memories going back to the lover she was stripped from by the enemy.
Yes, I rant on FE4 a whole lot...
Elibe (Sword of Seals & Blazing Sword)
Eliwood & Ninian (s?, 2), Eliwood & Lyn (2), Hector & Florina (s?, 2), Erk & Serra (2), Matthew & Leila (s?, 1), Will & Rebecca (s?, 2), Raven & Rebecca (2), Canas & his wife (s, 1), Dorcas & Natalie (s, 1), Pent & Louis (s, 1), Jaffar & Nino (s?, 2), Bartre & Karla (s, 1), Roy & Lilina (1), Rutger & Clarine (2)
All of our (s?) are there cuz it seems most likely but since this is Fire Emblem there is no confirmation.
1. Ninian's story changes most drastically if she's with Eliwood (her only ending though he can have one with Lyn & Fiora) and she stays in the Human World. She's also told she'll die quicker there than in the Dragon World and none of the other suitors have any explanation as to what they died of (Roy's mom is dead).
2. I haven't played far into six, but I've heard Lilina is similar to Florina (except for the timid part) so I'm not sure there.
3. Since Leila died, we don't know where her and Matthew's relationship could have gone.
4. Rebecca's son is an archer, so are she and Will (I've also heard some similarities exist but again I'm not far in six).
5. Supposedly, one of Nino's two sons has a very similar personality to Jaffar. And I think it's more likely for him to be chased as an assassin and her to follow him than for her to be chased for being dragged into the Black Fang and her husband (I think only Erk has it mentioned in their ending) chasing her.
Onto the regular (s) pairings. Bartre is Fir's father canonically, and I believe she will canonically call Karel her uncle in FE6. And I forgot if Canas has the name of his wife mentioned so I didn't list it here.
Magvel (Sacred Stones)
Seth & Erika (2), Ephraim & Tana (2), Colm & Neimi (1), Artur & Lute (1), Ewan & Amelia (2), Kyle & Syrene (2), Joshua & Natasha (2), Forde & Vanessa (2), Gerik & Tethys (2)
Subject to additions & changes; most of what I know about FE8 comes from a friend's fanfiction and these are somewhat based on Supports.
Tellius (Path of Radiance & Radiant Dawn)
Ike & Elincia (2), Rhys & Mia (1), Zihark & Ilyana (1), Oscar & Tanith (1), Rolf & Mist (2), Haar & Jill (2), Makalov & Astrid (1), Largo & Calil (s, 1), Raijon (sp?) & Ena (s, 1), Pelleas & Micaiah (2), Leonardo & Laura (1), Naesala & Leanne (2)
Yes, I can't spell the name of Ena's fiance; must look it up later on...
Rune Factory
Kyle & Every Girl in Town! (2...with Mana being the (s) girl), Jake & Cecilia (s, 2), Barrett & Dorothy (s, 2), Ray & Rosalind (s, 2), Max & Julia (s, 2), Aria & Orland (2), Aria & Leonel (2), Aaron & Leann (2), Aaron & Sera (2), Aaron & Serena (2), Roy & Cammy (2)
Alundra
Alundra & Meia (s, 1), Lutas & Fein (s, 1), Yuri & Naomi (s, 1), Beumont & Thyra (s, 1), Meade & Rumi (s, 1)
.hack
Kite & BlackRose (s, 1), Elk & Mia (s, 1), Haseo & Atoli (s, 1)
As of now, all .hack pairings are derived from reading a friend's fics, since I've only played INFECTION. I'll probably come to love more once I meet new charas in all the games.
Pokemon
Ash & Misty (1), James & Jesse (1), May & Brenden (game-verse since they don't meet in the anime) (1)
Sailor Moon
Serena/Usagi & Darien/Mamoru (s, 1), Raye/Rei & Chad (1), Amy/Ami & Greg (1), Lita/Makoto & Ken (1)
When I get off my lazy ass, I will translate into the Japanese names just for comparison of the characters I don't remember.
Robotech
Rick & Lisa (s, 1), Max & Miriya (s, 1), Bowie & Musica (s, 1), Scott & Marlene (s, 1), Rand & Rook (s, 1), Lancer & Sera (s, 1)

Cardcaptor Sakura
Sakura & Syaoron (s?, 1), Tomoyo & Eriol (1)
I bet something is spelled wrong. Thing is, I've only seen the dub, but have read fanfics from the original, which is supposedly a lot better. I'm using these names as more people will recognize them.
Inu Yasha
Inu Yasha & Kagome (s, 1), Miroku & Sango (s, 1)
Yu-Gi-Oh
Yugi & Tea (1), Joey & Mai (1)
Shamanic Princess
Tiara & Kagetsu (2), Lena & Kagetsu (2), Tiara & Graham(2), Lena & Leon (2), Kagetsu & Sophie (2, she's an OC)
Ok, so Graham is dead. But the fact that the jewel on his mask is left behind could very well hold some significance. Maybe it's a way to bring him back? I do, however, prefer the two girls with their partners, & Kagetsu with my OC
Rave Master (aka Groove Adventure Rave)
Haru & Elie (1), Let & Julia (s, 1)
Subject to change when I see ending & what happens with Haru & Elie
Ranma 1/2
Ranma & Akane (1), Shampoo & Mousse (1)
I think these might be really well hidden (s) rank couples, but I'd have to get off my lazy (and poor) ass and buy the manga/rest of the anime to do comparisons.
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumia
Haruhi & Kyon (s, 1)
Special Requests
1. A picture of young Eleni, Sara, and Amon from my Vandal~Hearts fanfics
2. Any OCs from my fanfics
3. Characters from any of the afformentioned games or Animes as Breath of Fire characters (meaning, the different clans from the series, ie dragon and winged)
4. Characters from any of the afformentioned games or Animes depicted in Final Fantasy Tactics jobs, based on their abilities (i.e. a magician being a Summoner/Calculator, a swordsman being a Knight/Samurai)
5. Any retro, non-Final Fantasy game from the SNES era that is listed here. Yes, if I want to find FF fanart, it isn't too hard, but stuff like Arcana and Lufia are (I found some stuff in Japanese for Lufia, but Arcana has totaled three pics on a single site).
6. Any (1) rated couple. Especially Ark & Ivy from CIMA: The Enemy (I've gotten some of my fixes off Japanese sites, but this game's obscure in all languages.). Romantic kissy kissy scenes are a plus for this one.
If you want to send or request something, you must follow these guidelines...
1. Nothing that breaks up a FANATIC level couple. I might be persuaded to draw something that breaks up a regular 1st rate couple, but not a FANATIC one. I don't want anything that breaks up a 1st rate being sent to me.
2. Nothing hentai or ecchi. I don't do porn. Shirtless guys or girls in skimpy outfits is ok, but no private parts exposed (unless its kind of like the way Naga from Slayers does it, and then only if the character dresses like that normally).
3. Besides nothing pornographic, I don't want anything offensive, such as an insult to race, religion, or lifestyle.
4. No yaoi or yuri. I won't hold it against you if you like that, everyone has their own opinions. I'm just not interested in seeing it, and I don't know how I'd get around tackling it in a picture (not that I could do anything beyond them holding hands with my artistic ability). If I personally know you, and have mentioned a like or interest in a certain non-het pairing, then you can choose to do that pairing (since the few pairings I have interest in are not too high on the list, they'll not be rated and are only spoken about between friends). But for fics only...I don't really have much interest in that kind of art.
5. As well as wanting someone to draw them for me, I also will draw any of my requests for you. Especially if it involves Breath of Fire clans, I enjoy sketching them.
6. When e-mailing, let the subject be "Fan Art Trading Post" so I don't accidentally delete it.
