I can’t stop thinking about an ikesen AU where instead of Mai the MC is a foreign tourist from abroad and doesn’t actually know Japanese, so she’s whipping out her phone and using the Google Translate app from the very beginning just to understand what these people are saying. Just imagine foreign!MC standing in front of the burning building she just saved Nobunaga from using her phone to awkwardly translate an explanation of being from the future and then having the robot voice badly read the translation with the volume all the way up. Like she has to replay it five times and show them the text before they get it because it’s that bad.
Oh and then it would be a race to get conversational Japanese before her phone dies while this girl has the Oda forces working to prematurely invent electricity because she has her charger on her and if she could just plug it in she’d have her phone. Of course, Sasuke would find her like in canon but now he’d be joining the Oda in their endeavor to invent electricity because of course he would. Also, he would definitely speak MC’s native language but would hide that from everyone because of how badly he wants to do nerdy science shit with historical figures.

I thought of a HC request, if that's fine by you: the Warlords each receive a letter signed by an anonymous person saying that "The most important person in their lives is being held hostage."
However, it turns that no one was held hostage, and it was all just an experiment done by MC and Sasuke. I saw this in a comic book story years ago.
I apologize if this is confusing.
Hi Anon! Thank you for stopping into the ol’ ask box. “The most important person in their lives is being held hostage”…? Yikes, even as an experiment that’s cruel (especially as an experiment). So… ok, I’m going to actually acquit Sasuke of this…. Even though he’s not the most emotionally adept, he’s smart enough to know that this kind of note is not the sort of thing you do in Sengoku.
HOWEVER...
We’ve seen in several event routes, that MC, especially if she is feeling inadequate, or jealous or whatever, WOULD indeed do something like this. In event routes, we’ve seen her try to make her suitor jealous, followed them, tried to give Masamune alcohol, considered giving Mitsuhide an aphrodisiac…
Yeah, if this is an event version of MC, she would do this. The question is… does she send the message and hide, HOPING that her suitor will think she is the hostage, OR does she send the message and then stand next to the warlord as he opens it, to see the reaction?
Let’s just assume she’s hiding.
"The most important person in your life is being held hostage."
Nobunaga – Opens the letter, is momentarily worried, but then he notices the top of MC’s head over the edge of the tenshu balcony. He pitches his voice loudly and announces, “Oh no! My WIFE is being held hostage.” There is a shocked whisper of “wife?” from outside, and then a scared squeak because MC loses her grip and almost falls. Nobunaga rushes out to the balcony and pulls her back to safety. Then he assures her that she is the love of his life, and makes her promise to never do anything that stupid again.
Hideyoshi – Panics. But panics in such complete brain melting gibberish, that MC is unable to tell whether or not he is worried about her…. or Nobunaga.
Mitsuhide – Realizes instantly that MC wrote the letter, and – while creeping carefully toward where MC is hiding – says, “Well… that’s way too much to pay for MC. Guess I’m going to just die a sad, lonely, man.” Then he pulls her out of her hiding place and says, “Dear me, I’ve found a tricky little mouse who apparently wants to play games tonight.” Follows that up with some suggestions about what kind of games they could play.
Masamune – Immediately takes off intending to rescue MC. MC has to chase after him to assure him that she is ok after all. After his initial relief passes, he promises her she is the most important person in his life, and makes her promise never to do anything that stupid again.
Ieyasu – “My sourdough starter!” Runs back to his manor to check on it.
Mitsunari – The ransom note gets mixed in with all the loose papers in his room and he never sees it.
Keiji – Plots a daring rescue. Writes a poem about the daring rescue. Puts the poem about the daring rescue to music. Hires a group of travelling players to act out daring rescue. Forgets to actually pull off daring rescue.
Ranmaru – Is doing his secret squirrel spy ninja stuff around the castle when he runs across MC hiding before he even gets the note.
Kennyo – Because everyone is important to Kennyo, he spends the rest of the week checking up on every person he knows to make sure they are ok.
Motonari – Catches MC writing the ransom note and eagerly volunteers to help her carrying the abduction.
Kicho – “And…?”
Kenshin – If you’ve ever wondered why today, Kasugayama Castle is in ruins… well, wonder no more.
Kanetsugu – “Kenshin!” Then realizes that no force in the world could take Kenshin hostage, and hunts down MC’s hiding place. Takes fifteen minutes to icily explain to her why this was a cruel joke, but as soon as she starts crying and apologizing and vowing never to do such a stupid thing again, he gathers her in his arms and assures her that he loves her very much.
Shingen – Reads note, and recognizes MC’s handwriting. It takes him no time whatsoever to locate her. He then spends the rest of the night assuring her how much he loves her, how much she means to him (granted, he probably didn’t need the entire night, but Shingen is thorough).
Yoshimoto – MC realizes that she cannot do this to Yoshimoto – he’s suffered enough in his route and she doesn’t want to push him over the edge. So instead she sends him on a scavenger hunt, and when he follows all the clues, he finds MC at the end, lying in his bed, wearing only rose petals. She spends the rest of the night convincing him how much she loves him.
Yukimura – Enlists Sasuke’s help. Sasuke reads the note. “Wait, I believe I read this in a comic book somewhere.” He helps Yuki find MC where she is hiding. When the inevitable argument follows Yuki’s, “Dummy! How could you do such a thing. You know I love you, right?” Sasuke slinks away.
Sasuke – Is pretty sure he read about this in a comic book, but goes to Azuchi to check on Ieyasu just in case.
