Dear Writer,
First off apologies for the wait on the letter! Thank you for matching with me on any of these pairings - I love them all, and I will genuinely like anything that you write for me. I'm more than happy to read explicit fic or G fic (or anything in between). Any story you'd like to tell with these characters is one that I would like to read. I've tried to give a taster feel for what I like about the canons - all prompts are merely if you prefer to have something to work with.
DNWs: non-con, underage (under 16, except for Ginger Snaps where 15 is fine given canon), polyamory, feminisation, eye injury, pregnancy, slavery, kidfic, prostitution AUs, sanitized depictions of canons/characters, gender/sexuality headcanons or fixed BDSM roles. Please also no set top/bottom dynamics if you do write sex (and no universes that have fixed sexual dynamics - A/B/O or BDSM universes etc). For the purposes of incest pairings, I am fine with infidelity to canon partnerships taking place to facilitate their relationship, but please don't have them be happy to cheat or unconflicted about their relationship.
General Likes: (none of these need to be combined and some of them are contradictory, if it’s in the list I love it.)
Us against the world is a favourite dynamic of mine as is finding connections in strange places. I'm very fond of closeness between characters (friendship, honourable enemies etc). Apocalyptic and wartime settings are big for me. I'm a big fan of tough people doing hard things, especially if they have to sacrifice things of value. I’m also a fan of humour and banter, of mentally strong characters who battle through against all odds, of love that isn't fluffy or necessarily spoken.
I like brittleness which isn't fragility, love/friendship that is prized above everything else, sacrifices, fighting and ambition. I also like funny things and veneers of casualness that conceal a lot. My taste runs strongly to stoic individuals who can take and deal out a lot of pain. Competent people who are really good at what they do are A+
I like epistolary fic, third person, lush writing, sparse writing, most things inbetween, details of a person or place that makes me feel like I know them, plot and character pieces both. Weather references, dark brooding tension/atmosphere, light breeziness, secrets between two people. Oh yeah, and explosions.
Porn likes: switching, comeplay, slightly more than comfortable penetration (toys, large cocks etc), sex pollen or other fuck-or-die scenarios, blowjobs/cunnilingus, scar touching, hair tugging, choking/breathplay, shaving (anywhere, but especially face), shower sex, fight/sparring sex where they're both into it, biting,
From Dusk ‘Til Dawn
Pairing: Richie Gecko/Seth Gecko
The first season of this show in particular was tailor made for all sorts of my favourite things in TV - the intense closeness and creepiness of Richie and Seth's bond, the camaraderie, the occasional macabre joke (looking through his hand!), the casual violence and indiscriminate mayhem that created a real sense of a bubble around them both. They hit a lot of my themes - back against back, looking out for someone else, sticking through the worst and coming out the other side, and it's that aspect of them that I'd most like to see in fic. I am really happy for other characters (Kate and Santanico are favourites) to be part of the fic, but would rather the focus remains on Richie and Seth. That said, it really doesn't have to be positive or good for them! I'm equally up for explorations of how they bring out the worst in each other, and depictions of a poisonous or antagonistic relationship, as long as there remains a core of unbreakable connection between them
-I would love a soul bond AU here or anything that deals with the connection between them and how that was formed.
-Pre canon fic about their lives before the show, what shaped their experiences with each other, the genesis of Seth’s loyalty in particular and the complicatedness of Richie’s trust.
-What would happen if Seth became a monster of some kind, how would that change how he relates to Richie if he’s more directly a part of that world?
-Post-canon shenanigans with or without Kate.
The Haunting of Hill House (TV 2018)
Pairing: Shirley/Theo
This was such a good show - and most especially for the sibling relationships that run through it. For me the key relationship was definitely the bond between Shirley and Theo, both as children and as adults. I love the way that they enable each other in so many ways, and that even in adulthood these are two that have stayed so close that Theo lives in the guesthouse. I like the way especially that it's not an easy or simple relationship, there's antagonism, and a huge amount of personality clash (as well as a lot of ways in which they are both so similar!) Amongst all of the interesting horror of the show, there's a really human connection between them and an intense one. I loved how the show played with that. I would absolutely love anything you do with these two, either pre-canon or post-canon. Personally I'm not a big fan of the neat wrapping up of the ending at all, so if you would like to do something different with that in particular, that would be amazing. I love all the siblings/characters so any of them can be included if you like, but please no other pairing than Shirley/Theo or their canon relationships.
-The Red Room! Anything you want to do with the red room and Shirley/Theo would be amazing, whether it's a reopening of the house or an untold flashback of what happened between them - facilitated or possibly engendered by the house.
- Alcohol-fueled angry hookup, guilt/shame of the resultant mess and how they might have damaged their relationship
- More horror, at any point during canon (or post) whether it involves the house or not. Something that requires them to believe in each other and rely on their bond
The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton
Pairing: Sodapop/Darrell
While it's not the main narrative of the book, the relationship between Sodapop and Darry has always been my absolute favourite thing about it. I like how much of it is below the surface, how much of their relationship is in the smallest things that Ponyboy notes in passing because it doesn't really concern him, this is just how they are. I love the dynamic that they have where Sodapop is the only one who teases Darry and just isn't scared by him at all, and Darry leans into that and enjoys it, there's this unspoken closeness between them where Sodapop is the only person Darry really listens to. There's a real sense of a very small world where each other (and Ponyboy, but non-romantically) are the emotional limits of their world. I love the atmosphere of the book also, and the world it creates/depicts, with tiny moments of happiness and a good time. Any story you'd like to tell with that would be great and I'm also really happy for this request if you tell it from Ponyboy's POV to have it remain quasi-incestuous or deniable if you'd like to keep that narration perspective. I'm cool if you want to go darker as well, something about the claustrophobic nature of their relationship or the limitations it imposes on their lives. One small DNW for this canon specifically, I've seen people characterise Darry as the "dad" and Sodapop as the "mom", please don't lean into this or use that dynamic between them.
- Get together fic would be amazing for these two, where's the point where they flip over into physical as well as emotional intimacy?
- Backrub fic! It's canon after all, and also a great get together mechanism.
- Holiday fic - a day off or a day in the life of. Skiing is mentioned as something Darry likes.
Ginger Snaps
Pairing: Brigitte/Ginger
This is the small pairing of my heart! They're both total weirdos in the most delightful way and I absolutely love their relationship and how twisted and yet tender it is. The way that Ginger seems like the stronger personality at first, but Brigitte is just as steadfast and just as tough in a lower-key way. I like their relationship both pre and post werewolf transformation, the dark vibe of their death photos together (that in particular could be really fun to lean into), the way that they're so codependent and mixed up with each other in every way. There's a great push-pull between them, and I would love more of that in fic (again feel more than free to change the ending so Ginger lives) and I like the sisterly antagonism as part of that bond as well. There's a lot of excellent moments between them, especially in the show down scene - I love Brigitte trying to show that's she pack, and the way the incest becomes almost textual with Ginger. In terms of canon, I don't really care about the second film - if you would like to use it, feel free, but mostly I want the sisters together in the fic not separated by death.
- The death scenario photos are awesome in canon - maybe they stage ones with an increasingly sexual bent or that require them to be physically close?
- Post-canon, Ginger survives and she and Brigitte go on the run - either with Ginger cured, or still a werewolf.
- Ginger's dead, but Brigitte doesn't give up there. If werewolves are real, why not magic? She brings Ginger back from the dead somehow
Oasis RPF
Pairing: Liam/Noel
This is a very new ship for me, so I don't have as much to say about it, but that doesn't mean I want it any less! I love the dynamism of their relationship, that absolutely nothing is simple and easy between them, that this is a turbulent relationship that has spanned decades and still neither of them have lost their ability to needle each other or to hit sore spots. I find that fascinating, and I think that any given point in time there's an interesting story there. I like how amongst all of the insults, all of the complicated love-hate, they're still so large in each other's worldview in all their dysfunctional manipulative glory. I would be happy to get anything at all for these two, whether it's in the coke-fueled daze of the early years of the band, even something that existed pre-band, or whether it's later, new bent to their relationship after years of being separated. Sex on substances is fine with me, as long as it's clear that they both want it.
- This is one of the rare ships where I can see jealousy as being part of their dynamic, maybe that's what prompts them to get together, seeing the other one's attention diverted away from the band/their relationship by someone else, and wanting it back on them
- Any element of magical realism being introduced into their lives, or a subtle tweak to the world as they know it that makes them see their relationship in a whole new light.
- Fight sex or physical closeness of any kind that ends up crossing the barrier between them
As always, any prompts above are only starter ideas, and I look forward to whatever you want to write and I'm certain I'll enjoy it.
