Last year's prompts were pretty much Mutsuki, but I've rewatched half the series and I realized that I wanted a story that featured either Mutsuki or Kenzaki. I like the idea that all of the originally-human riders are less human than they were before, though Kenzaki far more so than Tachibana or Mutsuki, though I realize this is more my weird brain than anything else. What makes someone human has always been interesting to me, and I'd love to have someone explore that, but I haven't figured out how to add it in as a prompt, really.

I find the world of Blade interesting, and I have to wonder what would have happened if one of the other Undead had won the original Battle Fight. For example, what would a world of Orchids, Tigers, or Spiders have been like? Would they have had Riders, eventually? Might the Human Undead won the second time? It's intriguing to me. For all that Blade's ending is rather bittersweet, I love it.
