Mindhunter (TV 2017)

Jim Barney

Jim is definitely the character I want to see more of most. I was disappointed when Gregg was hired instead of him and delighted when he returned in season two. If we would have gotten a season three I would have hoped to have seen him join the BSU. Future fic where he does join the BSU would be cool.

Character study! Tell me more about what he’s like? What is his life like outside of work? Does his wife want him dead? A question I only ask because Jim Barney seems to have been at least partially based on Judson Ray, and his wife tried to have him killed. The line about his wife insisting on cooking him breakfast may have been a nod to this. So I’ll leave it up to you if Jim Barney is in a situation similar to that of his real life counterpart. Another thing that I feel fits with the theme of this paragraph would be fleshing out his backstory.

Case fic! I feel this is a really good canon to do casefic for. So Jim trying to solve a case or maybe even conducting an interview. Note on my explicit sexual content featuring characters under the age of 14 DNW: I am perfectly fine with it if you write case fic where there are victims younger than that with a sexual aspect to the crime. You can get as gross or fucked up with the case as you want, I just don’t want a straight up sex scene.

Slash fic! I’m cool with basically any slash pairing featuring Jim that doesn’t violate my DNWs. So, Jim/Holden! The main idea coming to mind for me with that is something growing between them in Atlanta. Also, psychopath/serial killer Holden is not where I would have wanted the show to go, but it is an idea I like to see explored in fic. I would read the hell out of Holden going off the deep end and Jim having to be the one to track him down. Jim/Bill! Maybe them growing closer after Nancy leaves Bill. Or maybe AU where Jim was hired instead of Gregg in season one (not sure why that sticks in my head as a Jim/Bill prompt specifically because that could work with other pairings or gen but hey). Jim/Gregg! I don’t have any plot ideas for that beyond the fact that I’d be interested to see what that would look like. One thing I will say is that I’ve seen it theorized that Gregg is gay but deeply closeted. While I am not one hundred percent sure if that is what they were going for, but I can see it enough that if they took the character in that direction it would have worked I think. So if this is the pairing you choose you could probably explore that.

Talented Mr Ripley (1999)

Marge Sherwood

Revenge of the Hitchcock Blonde. That’s the phrase that immediately pops into my head when I think about what I would want to see from Marge. One element of the film I appreciate more every time I see it is how much it is in conversation with the work of Alfred Hitchcock. I tend to think of Marge in the context of the Hitchcock Blonde archetype. The sophisticated blonde woman who must be knocked down, humiliated, degraded, or hurt somehow over the course of the plot. This came from a deeply fucked up place of obsession when you look into it. I am conflicted over whether or not it can be said Marge manages to flip this on its head or not. On one hand I feel that Marge manages to keep her dignity despite Tom putting her through a pretty awful breakup while pretending to be Dickie, but on the other hand she does not get to be triumphant either. I love that she figured him out and flips out at him at the end, but no one believes her due to sexism and thus ends up being held down anyway. So long babbling aside anything you could do with Marge that explores or twists the Hitchcock Blonde archetype would be A+. Also if you wanna write crossover femslash with any of the ladies from Hitchcock films (blondes or not) I’d be all for it.

Post canon fic could be pretty cool. I’ve seen it said that despite the film having a pretty definitive ending compared to the one of the book that basically has a sequel tease, it still feels like a villain origin story for Tom. I would say the same about Marge. This feels like an origin for her as well, although I don’t know exactly of what sort. I’ll leave it up to you what she becomes as the result of this. I’d definitely read about her going down a darker path although, I’ll be honest when I say that’s not the first place my mind goes. Her being Tom’s nemesis who continues to run into him and attempting to thwart his criminal plans could be rad. Or any direction you can think of that I haven’t. And another thing for post canon fic, how does she respond to the death of her friend Peter?

Femslash! Aside from aforementioned crossover femslash, Marge/Meredith is my first thought in this department. Maybe a fic starting the first time they see each other post canon. Or canon divergence where they run into each other in Italy at the point in the story where Dickie is dead but Marge thinks he dumped her instead of Meredith running into Tom. How might that have changed things? Another possible pairing is Marge/Silvana. I don’t know what that would look like but I’m here for it. The only ways I can imagine putting them together are canon divergence AUs. Maybe Silvana doesn’t commit suicide and that somehow leads to her getting together with Marge. Or AU where Marge was the one having an affair with Silvana. Or an AU where Marge leaves Dickie for Silvana. My side question is if any of these AUs would be fix-its for the Tom/Dickie situation or if things would go to murderous hell anyway, just differently?

Note on my unrequested m/f ship DNW: I have no problem with Marge/Dickie being a thing just like in canon. Although my interest in that relationship here starts and ends with how it informs Marge’s characterization. I don’t care about that relationship for its own sake.

You (TV 2018)

Joe Goldberg

Note on my reader insert DNW: feel free to write this fic in second person if you want. It fits the canon and I don’t consider second person fic to inherently be reader insert fic.

I am not a generally easy person to scare with fiction. It is exceedingly rare that I come across a fictional character that scares me. I find Joe Goldberg scary though. He’s just so creepy and alarming. I also find him interesting to dissect probably for all the reasons I find him disturbing. Anyway I invite you to terrify me. There’s a ton of different one on one dynamics I’d be interested in so you’ll have plenty of choices for what to write here (it also makes this section longer than the others which is not indicative of preference or anything, I’d be happy to receive any requested fandom, I just have more to say here). Of course that means this is about to get all over the place. Hopefully this’ll look organized to people who aren’t me.

Pre-canon fic exploring his dynamic with Mr. Mooney. I get the impression that a lot of Joe’s ideas about love come from Mr. Mooney. Primarily in that Joe seems to be under the impression that love is taking complete control over the life of another person and altering it as he sees fit and that person should be nothing but grateful because that’s what loving back is, which is a perspective that I think can easily be traced back to when Mr. Mooney first took him in. Also the cage seems pretty significant. You can explore this in a fucked up gen way or a fucked up slash way. Also was Joe telling Beck the truth about Mr. Mooney’s stroke or did Joe do something to him?

I loved Candace so much. I found what her presence in season two highlighted about Joe’s state of mind and how completely he can turn on a former obsession (Madonna-Whore Complex much?) interesting and I was so much on her side. Something looking at their precanon relationship would be cool. What didn’t we see? What are the odds she was calling him bunny as in bunny boiler? Also with how intensely he turned on her after she came back, do you think it could have ever been possible for his romantic obsession for her to return? If so, then canon divergence AU where that happened either when she confronted him in New York or at some point in LA. How would he have dealt with those feelings returning and how would Candace have responded to that given her trauma? If not, then canon compliant stuff about his perspective on her now that she isn’t the object of his obsession would be cool (possibly with themes of love and hate being two sides of the same coin). Another direction is AU where she got him arrested, either precanon or after Beck’s death. How would he have fared in prison? Also wouldn’t be opposed to an AU where Candace doesn’t die and continues to haunt him (or fic where she doesn’t die and haunts him as a ghost). If you can fit in Wuthering Heights references for anything involving Candace hell yes.

If you wanna go into his relationship with Beck the one prompt I have is stuff that explores the difference between Beck, the fantasy, and Beck, the actual person. He had such a difficult time reconciling the fact that she was an actual person that I don’t think he ever fully did. It was a part of why he had to kill her.

If you wanna go into his dynamic with Love what I would be most interested in would be post-season two stuff where Joe is suffering. What the ending of season two made very clear to me is that Joe does not actually want love. Pun intended. I mean, Love was perfect for him and accepted him unconditionally, and he was disgusted by her not even seeing the irony about what he hated in her. A huge part of what probably threw him off the Love Quinn train after discovering what sort of person she truly is is that this put her on equal ground with him and he doesn’t want that. Joe doesn’t want true love and partnership. He wants a fantasy. He wants control. So what that household looks like now that Joe desperately wants out would be interesting to see.

Joe’s relationship with Ellie! He definitely cared about her in his way, was definitely thinking about her safety when analyzing Love but at the same time he intervened in her life essentially to make himself feel like a hero in such a way that she resents him. Joe craves redemption and the ability to feel like a good person. He does good things to convince himself he’s good but whether it is actually enough is questionable at best. I think that sort of thing provides good narrative tension, and his dynamic with Ellie is a good place for that sort of thing. What will be their dynamic going forward? Is she really in Key Largo and if so will she ever come back? If she isn’t actually in Key Largo then where is she and why? One thing I want to point out about the situation Ellie ended up in at the end of season two, basically on the streets but with Joe financially supporting her, is that Joe himself was on the streets when he was younger. Will Joe be able to keep Fincher off her trail? One AU that could be interesting is an AU where Ellie was the one Joe ended up obsessed with in LA instead of Love. Would that mess with him and his need to feel like a good person or would he be able to cognitive dissonance his way through it? How would Ellie have responded to that kind of attention from Joe? Hell, how would Delilah have responded to this?

Speaking of kids Joe took under his wing to feel like a better person but probably did a lot of damage in the process, Paco. Fic set during or before season one where Joe is looking out for Paco. Fic where they interact before Paco moves to LA but after Beck’s death. Future fic where Paco reappears in Joe’s life with how Paco has turned or now that he’s a little bit (or a lot bit depending on how far in the future this) older. I wouldn’t mind if that last one was slashy.

I’m not usually the sort that goes for OC/canon character fic, but since Joe is so completely ruled by his obsessions throwing something new at him provides a chance for character study. Also since we know so little about the woman at the end of season two, fic involving her might as well be OC fic. Anything that throws Joe off balance or put him in unfamiliar territory is something I would be interested in seeing. One direction to go is the one I suggested with the Joe/Ellie AU, where the new object of his obsession is a minor (I mean we could see that wasn’t the case with the actual woman at the end of season two but for the sake of fanfic we can pretend). Would that mess with his self image as a good person or would he be able to creepily justify it? A completely different direction you could go in is what if this new woman never reciprocates his affections. How would Joe handle that? I can see that getting pretty fucked up and scary because I think it’s pretty safe to say that Joe is an erotomaniac. One that’s been fortunate enough to consistently turn the dream of that other person loving him into reality, but still. So there’s a good chance if he were in that situation he’d refuse to fully believe she just isn’t into him. One more completely different direction to take the concept of Joe/OC is Joe falling for a man. I’m assuming he’d be a Rule 63 version of the woman at the end of season two but he doesn’t strictly have to be if you have other ideas. I’m just curious what that would look like, if that would have any impact on how he chooses to pursue his love interest, and how he would feel about being obsessed with a man. If you have any other ideas for how to use the season three love interest who is essentially an OC at this point to shake Joe up go for it. Also this has nothing to do with the character dynamics but each season is essentially supposed to be set in a new little world. I assume season three’s world will be the suburbs, but I’ve heard the third book is going to be set in the Pacific Northwest. Joe kidnapping his love interest and going on a road trip to the Pacific Northwest is definitely a plot I’m here for.

1917 (Movie 2019)

Joseph Blake/Tom Blake

Tom was so determined to see his big brother again and save his life and I was definitely very invested in that quest and interested in all the things he had to say about his family in general. Joseph’s face during his one scene really stuck with me. The way he goes from happy and excited to holding back tears once he realizes what happened. So I would love to see these two actually interact. Maybe fic set before the war where they’re on the orchard together? Maybe letters sent during wartime? Another direction you can go is one or both of them pining after the other and using their memories and fantasies to comfort themselves even if the nature of their feelings brings them discomfort or shame. On a similar note postcanon fic where Joseph is mourning Tom and in his grief starts thinking of him in a new totally inappropriate light. Or yet another option would be a fix-it fic where Tom makes it to see Joseph again. If you have any other ideas go for it.

Ancient Greek Religion & Lore

Apollo/Troilus

Troilus as a character is one of those research rabbit holes that I go down every once and a while and always have fun with. He was a character from the Trojan Cycle, but the specific work he appeared in has been lost to time. A lot of the works influenced by that particular work that went on to be influential in their own right that Troilus was believed to have appeared have also been lost. What we have of him are writing from that time that survived talking about those works and works influenced by the works we no longer have and works influenced by those works and so on. His characterization also shifted a lot over the years in accordance with changing social values and ideas about storytelling which just adds another level to this game of telephone. So anyway Troilus is generally the youngest Trojan prince, son of Hecuba and Priam. Sometimes he was depicted as being rumored to have been Apollo’s son because he was so beautiful. Sometimes he was depicted as actually having been Apollo’s son. There is at least one source out that lists Troilus not as Apollo’s son, but as Apollo’s lover. I have always found that little son or lover discrepancy hilarious, but in seriousness I would be very interested in something exploring or playing with that. I mean, why not both?

Demeter/Persephone

I’m having a hard time simplifying down my thoughts on these two into a coherent prompt because there are many, many directions you could go with this dynamic and I’m interested in almost all of them. One of my favorite things about mythology is that while it has a definite form it also has a lot of flexibility due to thousands of years of reinterpretation. The only direction you can go with their dynamic that I’m not a fan of is “Demeter was cruel and evil and Persephone found true joy, freedom, and love once Hades took her away” (which is not a dynamic I am not too concerned about getting considering that I’m requesting Demeter/Persephone and have a unrequested m/f DNW but I thought I would put that out there anyway, also speaking of my unrequested m/f DNW you can still have Persephone gone half of the year because that’s pretty integral but I don’t want any Hades/Persephone ship content, and to further clarify that I’m perfectly fine with references to their marriage or with that factoring into the plot, but I do not want fic where Persephone is in love with Hades). You can have their relationship be sweet and fluffy or angsty or difficult or whatever other spin you think would work best. There are three words/phrases that keep coming into my head about them you can take or leave that are rescue, the power of love, and a wife for the rest of the year.

Dare Me (TV 2019)

Beth Cassidy/Tacy Cassidy

There is a whole world of bitter, terrible, nasty resentment between these two that would make this incredibly messy and well, I love incredibly messy. But there’s more than just resentment! Beth to some degree views Tacy as the physical embodiment of a betrayal. Her feelings of inherent superiority over Tacy are interesting because they are tied with her feelings about abandonment and inferiority. Also I got the distinct impression that Tacy has a deep need for approval and validation, and many if not all of her attempts to get such things ultimately lead back to Beth in one way or another. Like the incidents with the ice bath or at the pep rally. One phrase that comes to mind about these two you can feel free to take or leave is: taking it too far.

Sharp Objects (TV)

Amma Crellin/Camille Preaker

Amma fixating on Camille, idealizing her. Amma’s murders all being in some way about Camille (even before they met because her first two victims were girls that Adora paid attention to because they reminded her of Camille). Camille’s self harm and Amma violence. The way their mother fucked them up. Amma trying to manipulate Camille. Amma getting insanely jealous about Camille. Camille trying her best to be there for Amma and do right by her and the motherhood related baggage that comes with that. Amma wanting to sleep in Camille’s bed always. All the obsession and possession. The way Camille connects Amma to dead girls she has loved in her mind. I really love basically the everything about this ship so just fuck me up tbh.

Stoker (2013)

Charlie Stoker/Richard Stoker

I’m not sure if I can explain this in a way that makes sense, but the impression I got from this movie was that both of them saw India as a second chance with the other. Like with Richard he was thinking “Charlie but this time not a murderer because I’ll do a better job” and with Charlie he was thinking “Richard but following my path and loving me unconditionally this time around”. Where it falls apart for both of them is the fact that India is not Charlie 2.0 or Richard 2.0, she’s her own person. So that left me wanting to see more of the dynamic between them one on one, either for backstory fic or in canon divergence fic.

Evelyn Stoker/India Stoker

"You were supposed to love me, weren't you?" I’m not the sort to put pictures in letters, but if I were the picture here would probably be from the hair brushing scene. I am really interested in their dynamic. Because there is certainly a lot of bitterness and jealousy but I think there is also some form of likely very twisted love and some form of connection. Or maybe desire for a connection would be a more precise way to put it because there is definitely distance and alienation in that relationship. Maybe something set precanon with confusing complicated feelings or something set post canon the next time they see each other. For that second one how does Evelyn feel about being spared, how does India feel about not killing Evelyn, and what causes this reunion?

Sucker Punch (2011)

Rocket/Sweet Pea

Oh these two. Sweet Pea was so dedicated to Rocket and there was so much love there and the pain that went with Rocket’s death. Maybe an AU where Rocket doesn’t die and leaves with Sweet Pea at the end. Or fic showing their day to day before Baby Doll showed up. Or backstory fic about how Rocket ended up where she did and how Sweet Pea followed her. I would be interested in a story about them set in any of the three realities in this film, asylum, cabaret, or battle.

Us (Movie 2019)

Adelaide Wilson/Red

I am fascinated by the twistyness inherent to this ship. I love it so much. Any excuse you can find to give these two more interactions than they got in canon would be wonderful (although I imagine pre-canon fic where they never technically interact at all within the scope of the story could still work as shipfic given the nature of the situation). Just how they’re intertwined and how they’re different and all the resentment and revenge and trying to survive and conflicts between good and evil or hero and villain where there’s no easy answer as to which side is which. Explorations of what they think about one another exactly would be great. Also feel free to absolutely fuck with my head over which one is which, I feel canon warrants that.

Ingrid Goes West (2017)

Ingrid Thorburn/Taylor Sloane

Sexual Content - Consensual, Sexual Content - Nonconsensual, Violent Content, Other M/E-rated content

I think the main thing I want here is obsession. I am really interested in the ways Internet/social media era parasocial relationships can go horribly wrong and this is definitely a ship that delivers with that. If these two ended up as girlfriends (or just having sex) what would have been running through Ingrid’s mind? Or maybe a canon divergence AU where Ingrid’s obsession and admiration leads to murder. Or what happens to their dynamic postcanon? Do the roles reverse (that could be one way to explore how Taylor isn’t what she seems)? If you wanna go total AU I’d be here for a fifties AU considering that this canon was inspired by The Talented Mr. Ripley.

I thought their dynamic was so cute! I would love to read about their further adventures involving vampire mentorship. What else does Jenna have to learn? Does Nadja have something left to learn herself? How does their relationship progress? Also while I love the tone and humor and canon and would be delighted with fic that sticks to that, if you wanna write straight up darkfic about these two that’s something I would be highly intrigued by.

Hamlet - Shakespeare

Hamlet/M!Ophelia

I’ve always wanted to see a staging of Hamlet with M!Ophelia. I’m very interested in how seeing a boy treat another boy that way might hit differently than watching a boy treat a girl that way and what that difference might point out about the original text/how we usually interact with the character of Ophelia. Also for a direction other than “the exact same story, except gay this time!” how would things be concretely different with M!Ophelia? The King and Queen wouldn’t be imagining wedding bells for Hamlet and M!Ophelia, if they knew about there being something between them at all they would likely disapprove or not take it seriously, so how would that impact M!Ophelia’s status in Elsinore? How might M!Ophelia’s gender impact his dynamic with his family (side note: the first production of Hamlet I ever saw had Ophelia kissing Laertes in Act IV, scene 5 and Laertes being very broken and conflicted by it and thus I thought Ophelia/Laertes was a standard part of the play for a while, so if you wanna have incestuous undertones or overtones between M!Ophelia and Laertes I give my full blessing)? How would Hamlet think and feel differently about M!Ophelia? Would this change Hamlet’s actions? Would M!Ophelia have handled his situation differently or might he have ended up in a different situation altogether?

As for names, Ophelius is the only masculine equivalent of the name Ophelia I know. Keeping it as Ophelia might also work as well although I think that could depend on which story was being told. Like I imagine it would work best to keep the name as Ophelia for a stage production where the gender was the only change and the script was left otherwise unaltered except like pronouns but am not sold on it working in a prose story exploring things that actually would be different with M!Ophelia. Do with these scattered thoughts what you will.

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

M!Georgiana Darcy/George Wickham

So my first thought here is gay blackmail. Or Wickham’s scheme from the book of trying to elope with Georgiana for money is not doable in this AU, but a similar spirited scheme of Wickham seducing M!Georgiana to extort Darcy while also getting under his skin would be. What would this courtship look like? Would this be how M!Georgiana realizes he is gay or was he already aware of his inclinations? Is Wickham genuinely interested in men (or in this case boys because if we place this in the same place in the timeline where the near elopement happened M!Georgiana would be like fifteen) or is he only doing this for what he can get out of it materially? What would be the repercussions of all of this, not just with their dynamics with one another or with Darcy (although I am very interested in Darcy’s feelings about this), but in general?

As for names, the only name I can think of for M!Georgiana is, well, George. If them having the same name is something you wanna play with I say go for it. Some amusing things implying narcissism on Wickham’s part could be done with that. Maybe M!Georgiana goes by Georgie? If you can think of another name for M!Georgiana and would rather use that I also say go for it.

A Room With a View - E. M. Forster

George Emerson/M!Lucy Honeychurch

I remember reading somewhere that Mr. Emerson was inspired by Edward Carpenter. I should fact check that, but anyway reading that made me start thinking about George/M!Lucy. How might their relationship have evolved differently? I think one thing that might have changed is that Charlotte (or M!Charlotte if you feel that would be more appropriate for this story) may not have been concerned about M!Lucy interacting with George as she was about regular Lucy up until she catches them kissing and thus there would have been much less scrutiny over their early run-ins. Or would Charlotte have had suspicions about George’s sexuality leading her to be just as worried if not more so? How would things happen once they were back in England?

As for names I’m drawing a blank as for what M!Lucy could be, so I’ll leave that up to you.

F!George Emerson/Lucy Honeychurch

I can just totally see F!George as a rather unusual lady who absolutely does not go along with what might have been expected of her for the era. She’s independent and strange and has no problems with what others perceive as unladylike (or even masculine) behavior. To be completely honest the main word coming into my mind to describe F!George is “dreamy” but that likely has way more to do with me being a massive lesbian than like stuff that would help pin down how her gender would impact the plot and her place in society. What would Lucy think and feel about F!George? Would meeting her cause Lucy to realize/question the limitations of the life she has been leading? How would their relationship develop? What would Charlotte think of their interactions? What would things be like between them back in England?

As for names, there are a lot of choices for F!George, Georgia, Georgette, Georgiana, and so forth. Go with whichever one you feel is the best fit. You can have her still going by the name George if you want.

F!Freddy Honeychurch/Lucy Honeychurch

I just think this would be really cute. Would F!Freddy be treated differently being a rambunctious girl? Would there be more efforts to control and tame her that utterly fail? What about her interest in medicine? How would they regard each other differently as two sisters? How do romantic and/or sexual feelings end up involved?

As for names, maybe Freddy is short for Winnifred? If you have an idea you like better go for it.

Freddy Honeychurch/M!Lucy Honeychurch

As was the case with the femslash version above, I just think this would be really cute. What would M!Lucy be like? I’m assuming he’d be the heir of Windy Corner instead of Freddy so how might that change things? How might they regard each other differently as two brothers? How do romantic and/or sexual feelings end up involved?

As for names I’m drawing a blank as for what M!Lucy could be, so I’ll leave that up to you.

Scream (Movies)

F!Billy Loomis/F!Stu Macher

Girls being awful monsters is one of my greatest loves so when I saw this in the tagset my immediate thoughts were “YES”. So the two of them getting really into each other while also being really into horror movies and murder. Would any of their horror opinions be different and if so would that have a ripple effect on their murder scheme? On a similar note I really love the commentary on misogyny in horror Scream provides with the way that misogyny is so tangled up with Billy’s motive and justifications and general philosophy. What does all that look like with F!Billy? Internalized misogyny or do her motivations take a different shape?

As for names, do whatever you want. You can keep them exactly the same or switch them out with more feminine variants (maybe Billie for F!Billy and no ideas for F!Stu).

Hi. This is gonna be a pretty short letter (to the extent that I was wondering if I should even write one) because due the nature of this exchange my prompts are pretty broad so I don’t have too much to say. I will say here that I adore rare pairs and always have. They’re the best! So don’t be afraid to write something just because it’s a rarepair. My AO3 is summerdayghost. If you would like anything in this letter clarified or have any questions feel free to ask through the mod. I hope you have a fun exchange!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)

Willow Rosenberg in any F/F

She may have been the first lesbian character I ever really got invested in looking back on it. But I am so here for all the possible femslash you can throw this witchy nerd in. The reason they picked the actress they did is that all the other actresses played the lines in a “I’m such a nerd woe is me if only I were cool” way, whereas she played it in a very happy way where it was clear that she was the way she was out of joy. I don’t know if the way I explained that makes any sense, but that’s definitely something I’ve always enjoyed about her character. Also I liked watching how she dealt with the threats and conflicts of the week.

DCU (Comics)

Selina Kyle in any F/F

She’s been my fave for as long as I can remember. Longer even. I think she’s fun and interesting and would love for her to get some pussy (okay this doesn’t have to be E rated, I’m open to all ratings, but I am cheesy and enjoy puns and couldn’t pass that up). My needs are simple here.

Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater

Noah Czerny in any M/M

Glitter and ghosts! Things I historically have a great appreciation for. I like Noah, I find him to be sweet with good potential for being really creepy. One aspect of the character I find really interesting is the way that he is simultaneously the oldest and the youngest out of all of his friends. He’s the oldest in terms of the fact that he was born first, but the youngest in that everyone kept going beyond the point he stopped.

Romeo And Juliet - Shakespeare

Romeo Montague in any M/M

I see Romeo as a character ruled by passion and all of the wonderful and ugly things that go with that, and I think it would be interesting to see what him in love with someone else would look like. For this fandom I’ve decided to opt in to crossovers with other Shakespeare plays. So pair Romeo with any dude from any Shakespeare you want.

Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Robin Buckley in any F/F

She was such a pleasant surprise from Stranger Things 3. So yeah, shipfic with her and any other girl (or woman) from Stranger Things. Give her love! She deserves it.

Ancient Greek Religion & Lore

Achilles/Troilus

Wasn’t sure where else to put this so I’ll put it here. I am kinda fascinated by Troilus and he’s an old favorite research rabbit hole of mine. Because he originally appeared in Cypria… which has been lost, and then there was a play about him by Sophocles… which has been lost, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. So much has been lost. What we are left with is a character that we only know from sources talking about the lost works from before they were lost that contradict each other and adaptations of parodies of works inspired by lost works. Troilus is a character that continued to appear in new art throughout the centuries with his role constantly shifting with the era (to the point where Shakespeare's version of him doesn’t even die), but due to the gaps in the historical record the motivations and nature behind these shifts aren’t always clear. There are elements to the story where it isn’t clear when that was added and why, a good example being Achilles raping Troilus. Look this is a character where if he was Apollo’s son or lover or actually not really connected to him at all is something that is debated. And I love this because of storytelling and history reasons. It’s a reminder how incredible it is that we know anything about old stories at all, let alone as much as we do. So basically there are a lot of places you can pull from for Troilus’s characterization and I’ll geek out about all of them because I love how many choices there are. Also canon compliance or complete canon divergence would both work for me here (as nebulous as canon is in this circumstance).

AU - Genre Shift

I would love a fic set in antiquity, but I do have a fondness for updating the setting for old stories. Especially with something this ancient. Its permanence has given it a timelessness that makes it feel like it belongs in every era it has survived through. Also I am interested in the way values and morality and stuff like that changes over time and how what’s heroic in antiquity has become monstrous in the modern era and vice versa in some respects and I think updated settings are a good way to explore stuff like that in placing people whose actions and core are based on ancient values in situations closer to today to see how that feels or turns out differently. I will say if you do go this route picking a setting with something that can stand in for the Trojan War would be a good idea. The two actual wars I most associate with The Iliad due to the allusions present in the literature set in these wars I’ve read are WWI and the Vietnam War, although if you wanna write about a different war you can. Although the war doesn’t have to be an armed conflict between two nations, it can be a smaller street level thing like a rivalry between two groups of criminals and the like or it can be in a setting where there is no war beyond the metaphorical which is pressures that make it feel like they are at war. For updated settings my only line in the sand is the final item on my list of DNWs.

Darkfic, Horror

I like reading about violence and dark stuff. Horror is one of my favorite genres. So if you wanna go that way please do. Also Achilles is a character that is often defanged (in my experience of more contemporary interpretations of him with few exceptions) and I find him most interesting when the darker and less pleasant elements are allowed to remain. And that can very much veer into dark territory. Also this is more of a side note but I found Chaucer’s version of Troilus SUPER CREEPY. I know Troilus and Criseyde was a product of ideas about romance from the time, but still. Creepy. So if you wanna go with a darker interpretation of Troilus that’d work for me.

Romeo and Juliet

Quick note on my unrequested m/f DNW for this fandom: usually that DNW would very much apply to canon couples including a requested character, but since this is goddamn Romeo and Juliet, you can include Romeo having feelings for Juliet if you want but I would not want that to be the focus of the fic or how the fic is resolved. I want the main pairing to be my requested pairing. Also that DNW would usually totally apply to non canon m/f background pairings, but in this case if you wanna have Juliet with another man as a background pairing (like say Paris or Tybalt) I’m cool with it. I’d also be cool with Juliet in Shakespeare crossover femslash in the background or m!Juliet in slash for settings where it would be appropriate for Juliet to be a boy, just saying.

Mercutio/Romeo Montague

AU - Genre Shift

Okay I really love Shakespeare and have my entire life (this is not hyperbole, my parents started taking me to Shakespeare plays when I was an infant). My username is a Shakespeare reference for a reason. I think a big part of why Shakespeare has claimed such a permanent spot in my heart is that you can truly do anything with it. Because of how established it is you can rip it up and turn it upside down and stage things however you like as long as you stick with the outline the script gives with its words and keep the heart of the story as you understand it. Like don't get me wrong I like traditional stagings of Shakespeare set in the period they were written about that don’t play with the text much, and if you wrote this to take place in 1300s Italy I’d be into it, but I have a special place in my heart for stagings of Shakespeare that change the setting entirely. They don’t change the text, they still call it Verona, but you know it’s not that anymore. Sometimes these setting changes are done to add meaning and sometimes they are done because they wanted to spend time in that setting. I love it both ways. So WWI? 70s musicians? Poets from the Romantic era? The Weimar Republic? Prohibition era gangsters? Mallrats? Edwardian era boarding school? 1950s Cuba? Prison? Great Depression era Hooverville? Puerto Rico during the Spanish-American War? 1980s Berlin? Teen heartthrob actors? These are just a few ideas. Look, the sky's the limit. Go with any crazy specific AU you want because I love just about everything and there’s something I can appreciate about any era. My only line in the sand is the last item of my DNWs list. Otherwise go wild.

You can take these characters in a lot of different directions and still have them feel like Romeo and Mercutio to me. There hasn’t been too much wild variation in the Romeos I have seen over the years (entirely local productions, I’m not very fancy), they’ve all been completely ruled by passion, while I’ve seen Mercutio that are absolutely nothing like each other on the surface but all worked because they had the same core (a core that is hard to describe but definitely includes a sense of humor, a pain below the surface, and gay… okay I don’t know if that last one is essential but it’s been present to some degree or another in every staging I’ve personally been to that it feels like it is to me at this point and well I am asking for slash fic). So for the minute details of their characterization feel free to go with whatever visions of the characters best suit the direction you’ve chosen to take this. That being said, some things about Romeo and Mercutio I think are underutilized for you to take or leave. Romeo has a sharper edge to him and propensity for violence then he is often depicted as having (#StopCuttingParis’sDeath2k20), although it rarely comes out I am interested in what motivates that part of him. Mercutio being related to Prince Escalus and Paris and that family being technically neutral in the Montague Capulet feud adds an interesting layer to the dynamic between Romeo and Mercutio. I don’t believe the exact blood relation specified so you can go more than one way with it if this comes up in your story. Mercutio as Paris’s brother and Escalus’s son? Mercutio as the distant cousin? But since this is a Mercutio/Romeo story this is an interesting potential created by that for Mercutio to foil Paris. Also I’ve seen stagings where Mercutio is older than Romeo and while I have no quarrel with it and it works just fine my head defaults to them being the same age. Which is of course young. This is very much a play about youth.

AU - Canon Divergence

Considering the plot of the play your options are completely pre-canon, post-canon ghost/afterlife fic, and canon divergence. I would totally read the first two, but for canon divergence maybe Romeo meets Juliet but simply doesn’t fall for her. Maybe Romeo falls for Juliet but his feelings are unrequited. Maybe they fall in love and no one dies but Romeo and Juliet’s love does after a while. Or any other idea for a turning point to change things so that Romeo/Mercutio can happen that you can come up with.

Darkfic, Horror

So I have always wanted to see a staging of Romeo and Juliet that plays it as a horror thriller type of thing. You’d need a vice grip on tone but I think it can work. Playing the romantic beats with uncomfortable levels of intensity and emphasizing the violence would be the first steps. There’s a couple different routes you could go with the comedic beats. I see the potential even if people usually look at me like I have grown a second head when I mention this. But if having this kind of darkness as a part of things is something that would interest you I say go for it. Please.

Sharp Objects (TV)

Amma Crellin/Camille Preaker

AU - Genre Shift

One aspect of this canon that I really appreciate is how well it deconstructs a very specific subgenre of murder mystery. I don’t know what it’s called but you know those canons where if it’s a television show then an entire season is dedicated to a single case and a troubled in some way but ultimately still a net positive as a person outsider goes into the community and unravels its dark secrets and learns the truth behind the crime? This absolutely flips that sort of thing on its head. So this is an idea that might only work in theory but not in practice but if you wanted to put them in a different subgenre of murder mystery/thriller (like a cozy mystery or gritty noir or conspiracy thriller or whodunit or any other type of thing) to try and deconstruct that, as long as Amma and Camille are still their fucked up selves, I’m here for it.

If you wanna go historical AU my two suggestions are like 1870s-1910s because that just feels right in my heart (probably because of the whole Calhoun Day thing and there is an inextricable connection in my mind between midwestern America in that time and stuff like axe murder) and 1950s because that was an era with some real darkness running through it and it is remembered as this idealized, wholesome, and simplistic thing that never was and I have a soft spot for stuff that exposes the fucked upedness underneath that aesthetic and I feel like the themes of this canon would be great for this.

Also, serial killer AU. Yes, I know Amma is already a serial killer, but I talked to someone who had misosmosed that this was about lesbian serial killers having a torrid love affair that revolves around killing pretty girls and hurting each other, and I have wanted that ever since. Whether Camille is already a serial killer when she meets Amma or becomes one after they meet is up to you.

Darkfic, Horror

I don’t have much to say here for fear of being repetitive, but just include all the violence and twistedness you want.

Slice of Life

Look I love these two and their dynamic so much that a fic simply composed of them just living their day to day life that’s totally mundane would still enthrall me. With these two even curtain fic would feel twisty and I love it. However I have decided to copy paste my prompt from a Chocolate Box for this ship in this section because maybe it contains useful babbling (even though it doesn’t quite fit with slice of life). So that’s what the paragraph below is.

Amma fixating on Camille, idealizing her. Amma’s murders all being in some way about Camille (even before they met because her first two victims were girls that Adora paid attention to because they reminded her of Camille). Camille’s self harm and Amma violence. The way their mother fucked them up. Amma trying to manipulate Camille. Amma getting insanely jealous about Camille. Camille trying her best to be there for Amma and do right by her and the motherhood related baggage that comes with that. Amma wanting to sleep in Camille’s bed always. All the obsession and possession. The way Camille connects Amma to dead girls she has loved in her mind. I really love basically the everything about this ship so just fuck me up tbh.

Sucker Punch (2011)

Amber/Blondie

Quick note about my unrequested m/f DNW: Blue Jones being canon typically creepy is a-okay and would not count as something that hits that particular DNW for this fandom.

Canon-Style Plot - Freeform, Character Development, Worldbuilding

So I got the DVD for this in the bargain bin a few years ago, but only just now got around to it and really enjoyed it. I was happy to see this in the tagset! I liked the interactions we saw between these two and would like to see these characters and their relationship fleshed out (as well as the world’s around them). Blondie as the tough girl with vulnerabilities beneath and Amber as the kindest of the group. Something about them just fits together. Established relationship or them becoming a couple would both work for me. Them going on a campaign in the battle reality could be a lot of fun. Just the two of them or them in the whole group. I am kinda curious about the history of that particular world and how they became a part of that fighting unit, and would love to see more of their fighting dynamic and battlefield romance is true romance. Stuff from brothel/dance reality would be interesting although I don’t have much in the way of plot ideas for that beyond vague stuff like pre-canon. I think the world I’m most itching to see them in would be the asylum reality/reality reality because it’s the one we see the least of. We only see that version of Blondie briefly and I’m not sure we see that Amber at all. How did these two end up in the asylum? How long have they been there? What did the events of the movie look like in real life (for example the director said they didn’t die in the real world, but then that leaves the question of what did happen in the real world instead)? Might they ever get out? Is there anything about the dynamic there that doesn’t appear in the realities where we do see them interact.

221B Baker Towers

If you click this link you’ll have read the entirety of this canon. It’s less than three hundred words. There’s a tumblr dedicated to what other people have done to the idea, but the nothing is set in stone as official canon except the original post. So there’s a lot of room for you to just do whatever the hell you want which is part of what I find so intriguing about it.

Irene Adler/Kitty Winter

Who is your Irene Adler for this verse? I would love it if you went back to her roots as an opera singer and did something with performing arts, but if you have a different vision go for it. Who is your Kitty Winter? I see her being an ex-con working really well, but again if you have a different vision go for it. How do these two ladies know each other? What is their relationship like?

Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes

Is Mycroft a youth pastor or a politician or a cop or something else entirely? What is his dynamic with his brother like? I would prefer it if things were rocky between them, but how rocky is up to you.

Sherlock Holmes/Lestrade

What sort of cop is Lestrade? How is his relationship with Sherlock different from Sherlock’s relationship with other cops (if it really is at all)? If Sherlock is underaged how does Lestrade feel about that? How does Lestrade feel about Sherlock and what he does in general? What does Sherlock think of Lestrade?

Sherlock Holmes/Charles Augustus Milverton

I feel Milverton is a really underutilized villain when it comes to Sherlock Holmes adaptations, and I would love to see your take on him for this verse. What is the nature of his blackmail? Does Sherlock know him outside of his crimes? I hope you keep the gold glasses but if you don’t want to that’s cool too. Go wild. Part of what I like about this verse is that nothing aside from the character of Sherlock Holmes and the setting are set in stone and anyone can do whatever they want with them.

Sherlock Holmes/James Moriarty

I’ve seen a few different interpretations of Moriarty for this verse from drug dealer to cooperate executive? What’s yours? Does he have a past of any sort with Sherlock? Is he Sherlock’s greatest nemesis in this verse or not at all? Also, feel free to ignore this bit, I have always had a soft spot for stories where Sherlock runs off with Moriarty and joins in on his wicked plans.

Crossover Fandom

Norman Bates/Eddie Kaspbrak

So this has been in my head since I read the book and Eddie was described as looking like Tony Perkins. These two would have a lot to bond over. You can write this with book Eddie or movie Eddie, either way works for me, I like both versions. Also do whatever you want with the timelines to make this work, set it in the 50s, 80s, current day, whatever works. They can be the same age or Eddie could be much younger. I’m here for it all. Also I can absolutely picture these two being related (whether it be cousins or long lost brothers or whatever) and incest is something that works so well with their issues so if that’s a direction you’d wanna go, do it. If not that’s cool too. My ideas for how they could meet is maybe they start writing letters while Norman is in jail or maybe Norman comes to stay with Eddie while evading capture.

Benoit Blanc & Amma Crellin

Benoit Blanc on the case for something Amma has done sounds fun as hell. How would he figure things out and what would he make of her? Would she take him seriously?

Marta Cabrera/Grace Le Domas

I just saw this in the tagset and was like “yes!” Maybe they meet after their canons as the sole heiresses of massive fortunes and really hit it off. These two would have a lot to connect over and I think they would really appreciate each other.

Amma Crellin/Amy Elliott Dunne

How would Amma and Amy feel about each other? Would they have a strange rivalry with weird romantic overtones or would they openly adore each other feeling that they’ve found someone who gets it or somewhere in between? If Amma enters the picture before Amy’s plan would her presence change it at all?

Amma Crellin/Beverly Marsh

I would read this with teen Bev or adult Bev. For teen Bev maybe after Derry she moved with her aunt to Wind Gap or Saint Louis and meets Amma who finds Bev’s resemblance to the photos of her sister at a younger age intriguing. Do whatever you want with the timeline (shoving Sharp Objects back into the 80s or bringing teen Bev to the modern day) to make that work. For adult Bev I’m not entirely sure how they meet but Amma imprints onto her hard. Either way I think obsession and blood would be good for this.

Beverly Marsh/Camille Preaker

There are a lot of directions you could go timeline wise with this. Maybe they’re both teens who look a lot alike, maybe one is a teen and one is an adult haunted by the other’s resemblance to their younger self, maybe they’re both adults running into each other at a rough point. I am into all of these options. But what impression what they get of each other? How would they grow closer? Also some things that could be interesting to explore with this would be their respective family issues, Bev’s blood issues, Camille’s self harm, just all of their issues.

DCU (Comics)

Bart Allen/Wally West

Just them not getting along at all and fighting all the time. Wally thinking Bart is an annoying immature brat and wanting very little to do with him and Bart finding Wally to be kinda stiff and unkind in return. Deep down Bart just wishes Wally liked him and doesn’t understand why he doesn’t. To Wally’s credit he does care about Bart. Deep down. In his own way. What would it look like if they became romantically and/or sexually entangled if what I just described was the state of their relationship up to that point? Probably an ill-advised disaster, but that’s what I’m here for. If you wanna go AU maybe canon divergence the Garricks for whatever reason were unavailable so Wally had to take in Bart himself or a cop and robber AU. Also I’d totally be into this pairing as femslash.

Cassandra Cain/Rose Wilson

I think they compliment each other well. In some ways they are going in opposite directions while in others they are running right at each other. Whether they clash or get along really well their dynamic is bound to be interesting. I can see them understanding one another in a way no one else can. Both characters have interesting relationships with violence. How do they differ and how are they similar? Would that be something that drives them together? Also if you wanted to go AU a not-superhero AU where Rose is a hitwoman and Cass is a high schooler overly invested in her ballet class and has a dark past and they somehow meet would be brilliant, just saying.

IT (Movies - Muschietti)

Connor Bowers/Henry Bowers

Connor coming to live with Uncle Butch and Cousin Henry for the summer and something happens between him and Henry. Whether it’s an actual affair or just a lot of creepy tension, I see potential for Henry being frighteningly possessive and it all being very twisted. Connor didn’t have much screen time but I was left with the distinct impression he was afraid of Henry and that could be something interesting to explore in this context. Also one of them looking back on their dynamic after Henry’s arrest could be interesting.

Connor Bowers/Richie Tozier

Connor wasn’t on screen for very long but what we did get has me interested in seeing more interactions between him and Richie. I got the impression from the arcade scene that Connor was also gay and liked Richie. Was that time at the arcade during the movie their first time playing together or had there been previous times they’d played together (or seen each other outside the arcade)? Had Connor heard rumors about Richie before they met (or right after they met)? Gay rumors that he found… intriguing. Also what was their first time interacting after the arcade scene like? What about after Henry’s arrest? Richie and Connor sneaking around would be relevant to my interests. Them running into each other as adults and getting together would be cool. Also I am open to all sorts of interpretations of Connor from actually an okay dude to fucked up and manipulative. I personally tend to read him as not a bad kid, just closeted, scared, and concerned for his safety, but he is a Bowers and I’m here for the angst that comes with less nice interpretations of him.

Henry Bowers/Mike Hanlon

I can really easily see Henry being attracted to Mike and that factoring in to his animosity towards him. His feelings are something dark and violent, whether they started that way or he twisted them into that. I can’t really imagine Mike reciprocating, but I’m willing to be convinced otherwise. Maybe if Mike convinced himself he could fix Henry?

Henry Bowers/Patrick Hockstetter

The main thing I want to see here is a power struggle. Henry wants to be the boss with Patrick as his vicious guard dog but he can’t exactly control or predict Patrick which leads to an uncertainty about who’s in charge after all. Henry trying to establish dominance and Patrick messing with him the whole way through. If you wanna go AU a mundane AU where the Bowers gang is responsible for the child disappearances could be interesting, and something about the Bowers gang feels just right for a werewolf AU. Also I would 100% be into a Rule 63 femslash version of this pairing.

Bill Denbrough/Eddie Kaspbrak

Bill’s protectiveness is a trait of his I really find intriguing as is Eddie’s bravery and this is a pairing that I think goes well with exploring those traits. Also Bill projecting Georgie issues onto Eddie and Eddie projecting his own issues right back onto Bill is definitely a thing from the book, but if you could somehow fit that into the dynamic between these versions of the characters I would absolutely love it. Them being a little codependent post Chapter 1 would be A+. Oh! An Eddie lives AU where he ends up with Bill would be spectacular. For other AU concepts maybe vampires or serial killers or Golden Age of Hollywood (all AUs I’d honestly be into for most of these ships, but I’ve definitely thought about them more with this pairing since that’s what I asked for with this pairing for the AU exchange). I would also be very into a Rule 63 femslash version of this pairing.

Patrick Hockstetter/Richie Tozier

So the way Patrick looks at Richie has always creeped me out but since the second movie came out there’s an added sense of dread. Because before it was like “wow Patrick is a creep what a perfect establishing moment for such a fucked up character” and it’s still that but now there’s “oh god, what’s the history there, did something happen, what has Patrick done?” in the mix too. It’s possible Patrick hadn’t done anything, but the question is still there. So one of the possibilities would be precanon creepiness, answers to those questions. Another route you could take would be Patrick lives AU (either mundane or IT simply doesn’t kill him, maybe IT killed Henry or Belch instead?) that shows the horrors Richie would have encountered during that summer or Patrick living to adulthood and no doubt becoming a serial killer and he and Richie run into each other and start dating. Another possible AU would be werewolf AU, y’know to capitalize on Richie’s fear of wolves and how predatory Patrick is. Also I would very much read a Rule 63 femslash incarnation of this ship.

Reginald "Belch" Huggins/Eddie Kaspbrak

The baseball section book left me with the impression that Eddie had a crush on Belch, and I just think it would be really fun to see that crush applied to the movie versions of the characters. How does Eddie feel about his feelings and why does he feel the way he does? Is it entirely physical or does he see something in Belch no one else does? What does Belch think of Eddie? If you wanted to Rule 63 this into femslash I’d be down.

Eddie Kaspbrak/Stanley Uris

They are the first of the group to die and I have so many feelings about it. I also think their personalities would go together well and they’d make a lovely couple. They’d balance each other out in a lot of ways. The book gave me the impression that Stan was psychic and while I think that is not the case in the movies, I’d still be really interested in fic where Stan was aware of his and Eddie’s eventual fates and felt a special kinship with Eddie because of it. Or fic about them falling in love in the afterlife would be cool. Maybe AU where they both survive Chapter 2 but are also the only two surviving Losers. Also I would read a Rule 63 femslash version of this pairing.

Gretta Keene/Beverly Marsh

Look, I love antagonistic femslash. The idea of there being some attraction between the two of them or them having some sort of relationship is interesting to me because of the antagonism. What problems do they have with each other and would whatever happens between them be enough for them to put those problems aside? If you wanna go AU maybe serial killers or vampires or Golden Age of Hollywood (all AUs I’d honestly be into for most if not all of these ships, but I’ve definitely thought about them more with this pairing since that’s what I asked for with this pairing for the AU exchange).

Audra Phillips/Patricia Blum Uris

My wants here are simple. I just want them to somehow meet and fall in love. Maybe post Chapter 2 they run into each other and find they have a lot to bond over. Maybe Patty comes into contact with Audra while trying to figure out Stan’s letter. Maybe things turned out way differently and the Losers end up in jail accused of IT’s crimes (or their crimes if this is a total AU) and come together while picking up the pieces of their lives.

Richie Tozier/Stanley Uris

I think their dynamic is a lot of fun, but boy does it have the potential to hurt me. So bring the pain is what I say. My general impression of their relationship is that they’ve known each other forever and understand each other on a different level because of that. I also think Richie would stick up for Stan no matter what even if he can be flippant about Stan and that Stan’s death truly hurt him. The last time I wrote a prompt for this ship was before Chapter 2 came out and the words that came to mind were chaos and decay and they still feel like they work however you may interpret that. There is definitely room for funny fluff set during their teen years with killer dramatic irony. I would be interested in Richie having abandonment issues and Stan making promises he can’t keep. Them dealing with PTSD symptoms and being super codependent post Chapter 1 would be great. I think Stan knew Richie was gay so his perspective on that would be interesting. Richie realizing he has feelings for Stan and freaking out. Them worrying about each other. Stan’s perfectionism. AU where Stan survives his suicide attempt but Eddie still dies and Richie clings to Stan and they end up together. Also I would totally read a Rule 63 femslash version of this pairing.

IT - Stephen King

Bill Denbrough/Bradley Donovan

I’m probably the only person who wants this, but handwave when Bill left Derry in the book (this fandom does that all the time) and have them get together in high school. Also what did Bradley go on to be after that summer? I can see him being a bully, which could be interesting and set this up for a very ill advised thing. If you don’t want to go with the high school route maybe them crushing on each other in speech class.

Will Hanlon/Dick Hallorann

The interlude about the Black Spot has to be one of my favorites and it makes me emotional, and I would love to read about this ship during their time at the Black Spot before it burned down. Or maybe Dick comes back up to Maine one last time right before Will finds out he has cancer to say goodbye.

Mr. Keene/Eddie Kaspbrak

I found Mr. Keene to be a rather disturbing character and the descriptions of how he smiled as he told Eddie the truth about his medicine stuck with me. So just more uneasy and fucked up moments between the two of them.

Beverly Marsh/Kay McCall

The first two words that come to mind when I think of this pairing are adoration and support. Maybe an AU where they kill Tom and go on the run together. Or maybe after coming back from Derry and forgetting everything Bev wants to be with Kay instead of Ben.

Knives Out (2019)

I just wanted to say that while my unrequested m/f DNW typically extends to background pairings, for this fandom I’m totally cool with Benoit Blanc/Marta Cabrera or Ransom Drysdale/Marta Cabrera being a thing (I actually ship them both, but decided to prioritize no fic pairs in this fandom for this exchange) as long as the requested ship is still the focus. While I prefer Marta and Harlan’s relationship being platonic or, if romantic, one sided on Harlan’s part, the Thrombeys speculating on the true nature of their relationship is free game.

Linda Drysdale/Harlan Thrombey

My prompt for this one is rather simple: the games they play. I have thoughts on their dynamic and how they seemed to have a genuine bond but it all comes back to the games they play.

Ransom Drysdale/Harlan Thrombey

I was very interested in what the movie had to say about their bizarre love hate dynamic and would love to see some of it. Their mutual flair for the dramatic, how Ransom could beat Harlan at go and took pride in that assuming it was a unique trait. Harlan said he could see himself in Ransom and I’m interested in why. Was Harlan more or less just like Ransom when he was younger with the main difference being that he was new money or is it some other reason? Also does Ransom in turn see himself in Harlan? As for the incest angle of this prompt, was it a one time thing they don’t discuss or has it been a continuing thing?

Harlan Thrombey/Walt Thrombey

Walt is very dependent on Harlan and is both unhappy with where this leaves him because he wants more and wouldn’t have it any other way. Does Harlan enjoy having Walt under his thumb or did he used to before a change of heart? A combination of reverence and resentment from Walt towards Harlan is very likely. How did they get to the point they’re at in the film dynamic wise? Did the death of Neil, the older son, impact their relationship? Tangent but on that note what were their relationships with Neil like? If I had to describe Walt one of the first words that would come to mind is weak. I think that’s something Harlan can see in Walt. However just because he’s weak doesn’t make him not dangerous and if he is capable of harm it is precisely because he’s weak. That, I’m not sure if Harlan can see. Also when Harlan called Walt a good boy. Yes, that’s a complete prompt.

Jacob Thrombey/Walt Thrombey

The impression I left the movie with is that Walt absolutely adores Jacob and feels that they are close, but is absolutely blind to his faults. Some of it may come from genuine ignorance but I think a larger portion of it is willful. Part of it may be because he’s unwilling to take Jacob off the pedestal of perfect son, part of it may be that he doesn’t have the strength to step in and prevent Jacob from going down the path he’s going down, and part of it may be that he doesn’t mind what Jacob has become as much as he knows he should. Jacob is awkward and cowardly but is still an internet creep with horrific views. Also what does Jacob think of Walt anyway? I feel like there’s a lot of room for something twisted here.

Sharp Objects (TV)

Amma Crellin/Camille Preaker

Amma fixating on Camille, idealizing her. Amma’s murders all being in some way about Camille (even before they met because her first two victims were girls that Adora paid attention to because they reminded her of Camille). Camille’s self harm and Amma violence. The way their mother fucked them up. Amma trying to manipulate Camille. Amma getting insanely jealous about Camille. Camille trying her best to be there for Amma and do right by her and the motherhood related baggage that comes with that. Amma wanting to sleep in Camille’s bed always. All the obsession and possession. The way Camille connects Amma to dead girls she has loved in her mind. I really love basically the everything about this ship so just fuck me up tbh.

Amma Crellin/Kelsey Wheeler/Jodes

Whoever nominated this, you read my goddamn mind. I was gonna nominate this and was shocked when I didn’t have to. So you have done me a great service. Anyway. I would love to see more into the specifics of their dynamic, roller skating around and doing violent deeds. How does everyone feel about each other and how do Kelsey and Jodes feel about the whole murder thing? Also teenage girls being monsters is one of my favorite things and so much fits here.

Fright Night (1985)

Charley Brewster/Jerry Dandridge

Tags: Fright Night: the painting looks like Charley instead of Amy, ALL: Role Reversal, ALL: Role Swap AU, All: Serial Killers

I’ve always wondered how the plot would have gone if the painting resembled Charley instead. The canon divergence would probably happen almost immediately considering that Jerry and Charley cross paths way sooner than Jerry and Amy. Also the movie never addresses this, but who exactly was that person in the painting? Did they have some great romance with Jerry or did they slip away from him? Would Charley be a reincarnation of this person or is the resemblance pure coincidence?

As for role reversal/swap I was thinking AU where Charley is a vampire and Jerry isn’t. Like maybe it could be that Jerry moves into a new neighborhood and begins to suspect that the teenage boy in the house next to him is really a vampire.

The serial killer AU tag would essentially just be a human AU, where instead of Charley realizing he lives next to a vampire, he realizes he lives next to a serial killer. What would this version of Jerry want from Charley and how would Charley’s response differ (if at all)?

IT (2017)

Henry Bowers/Eddie Kaspbrak

Tags: IT: Bowers Gang is responsible for all the child disappearances, ALL: Dating Sim AU with the protagonist being aware, ALL: Genderswap to all female cast, All: Golden Age of Hollywood, All: Serial Killers, ALL: Vampires

One of the things that endears IT to me the most is how that even without Pennywise these kids’ lives would still be pretty twisted. A mundane AU still has the potential to be a complete horror show. Arguably the child eating monster provided the Losers with much needed escapism. Which is why I’m requesting the tag “Bowers Gang is responsible for all the child disappearances” because that’s technically a mundane AU, there’s no scary clown, but it’s still an urgent and dangerous situation. In the case of this pairing specifically, oh boy that has the potential to get fucked up. Especially since I’m not really thinking of the serial killer AU tag not to be completely distinct from this one in the case of this specific pairing (well, except that with the serial killer AU tag you could have Eddie himself go down a darker path). It’s made scarier by how basically nothing would have to change about Henry’s character. Just make it disturbing as hell.

As for “Dating Sim AU with the protagonist being aware” what sort of dating sim would this even be? Like would it be more so a horror game that has romance options that the whole fan base just plays as if it were intended to be a dating simulator? Or was it designed to be a dating simulator but it just has some really fucked up stuff in it? With the awareness part I’m less interested in the protagonist being aware that they are a video game character specifically (although it’s fine if they are) and more interested in them being aware that they aren’t in control of their own choices and that the timeline starts over or goes back from time to time. For this pairing specifically I’m sorta assuming Eddie would be the protagonist (although if you wanna do it the other way that also works), and my question is if Henry was even supposed to be a romance option (like as a bad end or dark route) or if this is the result of a glitch or mod?

I requested the “Genderswap to all female cast” tag because I love me some femslash. Also because the idea of a story like IT but exclusively about girls appeals to me. And the femslash that would come from that appeals to me as well because I’m only human. How would changing this pairing from m/m to f/f change the dynamic? One thing I love seeing and want to see more of is girl characters who are evil and cruel and brutal and fucked up in the exact way we’ll let boy characters be evil and cruel and brutal and fucked up. That’s essentially exactly what I would want from F!Henry. Themes of bottled up emotions and anger and complex mother daughter relationships would be some things that would likely be worthwhile to explore with F!Eddie. As for names I think keeping F!Henry’s name as Henry (or Henri, spelling is up to you) and having it short for Henrietta (whether that comes up in fic or not) could work. I really like the name Addie for F!Eddie. Edie always works for me. If you have other name ideas go ahead. Also feel free to mix this specific prompt with any of the other prompts.

I held back on requesting different era AUs because this canon is essentially a different era AU in itself, but when it came to the “Golden Age of Hollywood” tag I made an exception. Because while the Golden Age of Hollywood was a glamorous time that people tend to remember through nostalgic lenses, there was also a lot of ugliness behind the scenes in a way that I think fits this canon and its characters’ whole thing. Is Henry an actor or is he part of the industry in some other way? What sort of movies are Eddie in and what sorts of parts does he get? Back in that era the studio an actor worked for essentially owned them and would do all they could to control their personal and professional lives so the public only saw the specific version of them that the studio was selling. So what’s the image of Eddie Kaspbrak the studio is projecting how does it differ from the reality of his situation? What are the horrors in his life the studio is determined to never let see the light of day?

I requested the vampire AU tag because I have consumed far too much vampire fiction in my day and yet somehow I still want more. With this particular pairing my mind immediately jumps to Henry as the vampire and Eddie as the prey who isn’t going down without a fight. Or maybe something involving Eddie resenting his own vampirism. If you have another idea go for it.

Bill Denbrough/Eddie Kaspbrak

Which is why I’m requesting the tag “Bowers Gang is responsible for all the child disappearances” because that’s technically a mundane AU, there’s no scary clown, but it’s still an urgent and dangerous situation. Also it’s a situation that would change a lot of things. Like how would it affect Bill knowing that he interacts with the people responsible for Georgie’s disappearance every day?

As for “Dating Sim AU with the protagonist being aware” what sort of dating sim would this even be? Like would it be more so a horror game that has romance options that the whole fan base just plays as if it were intended to be a dating simulator? Or was it designed to be a dating simulator but it just has some really fucked up stuff in it? With the awareness part I’m less interested in the protagonist being aware that they are a video game character specifically (although it’s fine if they are) and more interested in them being aware that they aren’t in control of their own choices and that the timeline starts over or goes back from time to time. Either of these two would work as the protagonist for me, although I can picture it for Bill slightly easier (because his role in canon is already that of a self insert). How does the protagonist feel about this particular romance option and the stories that play out with it?

I requested the “Genderswap to all female cast” tag because I love me some femslash. Also because the idea of a story like IT but exclusively about girls appeals to me. And the femslash that would come from that appeals to me as well because I’m only human. How would changing this pairing from m/m to f/f change the dynamic? Whenever I think of the f/f iteration of this pairing my thoughts tend to go to F!Eddie as F!Bill’s muse. I mean, that concept is there when I think about the regular old m/m version, but for some reason when it’s f/f the muse thing is more prevalent. Take or leave that as you please. Themes of bottled up emotions and anger and complex mother daughter relationships would be some things that would likely be worthwhile to explore with F!Eddie. As for names I like Billie for F!Bill. I really like the name Addie for F!Eddie. Edie always works for me. If you have other name ideas go ahead. Also feel free to mix this specific prompt with any of the other prompts.

I held back on requesting different era AUs because this canon is essentially a different era AU in itself, but when it came to the “Golden Age of Hollywood” tag I made an exception. Because while the Golden Age of Hollywood was a glamorous time that people tend to remember through nostalgic lenses, there was also a lot of ugliness behind the scenes in a way that I think fits this canon and its characters’ whole thing. What sort of movies are these two in and what sort of parts do they get? Are they in movies together often? Do they work for the same studio? If not them does one of them ever get loaned out the other’s studio? Back in that era the studio an actor worked for essentially owned them and would do all they could to control their personal and professional lives so the public only saw the specific version of them that the studio was selling. So what’s the image of these two the studio is projecting how does it differ from the reality of their situations? What are the horrors in their lives the studio is determined to never let see the light of day? Was Georgie a child actor as well or was he out of the limelight? Was Georgie’s death publicized or was it something the studio managed to keep the press from talking about and are trying to keep it that way (if Georgie was never a child actor then maybe the studio is trying to pretend there never was a Georgie Denbrough)? I can see either (having his pain be a spectacle or having to suffer in silence) being painful for Bill. On a related note one thing I am always up for is Bill’s grief affecting his romantic and/or sexual feelings towards Eddie. Whether he’s more drawn to Eddie than he otherwise would have been or just as attracted Eddie as he used to be but now that attraction makes him want extra things from him that he didn't want before because he didn’t need a little brother figure those things when Georgie was alive or anything else you can think of. Especially if it has the potential to interact with Eddie wanting an older brother or father figure in his life dangerously. Just make it twisted and I’ll be happy.

As for the serial killer AU tag it’s essentially just the darkest way things can turn out with their fuckedupedness. Would they be a killer couple or is it just one of them that’s the serial killer? Is this something that began during their teen years or is this something that starts in their adult years? If it’s the former then I’m thinking teens running around Derry doing awful things which means everything is normal, and if it’s the latter then I’m thinking it’s a story about them coming back into each other’s lives again as adults and really hitting it off but in the time since they left Derry one or both of them has started killing. If Bill is a serial killer do his kills have anything to do with Georgie or his creative interest in horror? If Eddie is a serial killer do his kills have anything to do with the whole munchausen by proxy situation or bottled up rage?

I requested the vampire AU tag because I have consumed far too much vampire fiction in my day and yet somehow I still want more. One thing I tend to be interested in are the weird family dynamics that come with vampirism. Like how a vampire’s sire is their father but also not. I’m always here for these two having a fucked up pseudo-familial/pseudo-incestuous relationship (especially if it’s in the form of Bill having a little brother shaped void in his life and trying to fill it or at least distract from it with Eddie while Eddie wants a father figure or big brother and he just let’s Bill fill that role, but also their relationship is romantic and/or sexual at the same time all that is going on). Another thing I’d like with these two as vampires is loyalty. Intense loyalty.

Gretta Keene/Beverly Marsh

Tags: IT: Bowers Gang is responsible for all the child disappearances, ALL: Dating Sim AU with the protagonist being aware, ALL: Genderswap to all female cast, All: Golden Age of Hollywood, All: Serial Killers, ALL: Vampires

One of the things that endears IT to me the most is how that even without Pennywise these kids’ lives would still be pretty twisted. A mundane AU still has the potential to be a complete horror show. Arguably the child eating monster provided the Losers with much needed escapism. Which is why I’m requesting the tag “Bowers Gang is responsible for all the child disappearances” because that’s technically a mundane AU, there’s no scary clown, but it’s still an urgent and dangerous situation. Is Gretta Bowers Gang adjacent? If so is she aware of what is really going on or have some sort of immunity?

As for “Dating Sim AU with the protagonist being aware” what sort of dating sim would this even be? Like would it be more so a horror game that has romance options that the whole fan base just plays as if it were intended to be a dating simulator? Or was it designed to be a dating simulator but it just has some really fucked up stuff in it?

Either of these two would work as the protagonist for me. How does the protagonist feel about this particular romance option and the stories that play out with it?

This is the only pairing I requested for this fandom where the “Genderswap to all female cast” tag wouldn’t affect the pairing itself because they’re already girls. What it would change about their story instead would be their interactions with everyone else. Like how would Bev be different if she were a part of an all girl Loser’s Club and so on.

I held back on requesting different era AUs because this canon is essentially a different era AU in itself, but when it came to the “Golden Age of Hollywood” tag I made an exception. Because while the Golden Age of Hollywood was a glamorous time that people tend to remember through nostalgic lenses, there was also a lot of ugliness behind the scenes in a way that I think fits this canon and its characters’ whole thing. What sort of movies are these two in and what sort of parts do they get? Are they in movies together often? Do they work for the same studio?

So what’s the image of these two the studio is projecting how does it differ from the reality of their situation? What are the horrors in their lives the studio is determined to never let see the light of day? I can kinda see them being jealous of one another due to resentment towards their own place in life as opposed to how they perceive the other’s place and having a bit of a rivalry because of it. I could also totally see Gretta not being actress at all in this AU but being otherwise connected to the industry while Bev is an actress. Or maybe the other way around. Well, one or both, either way, they’ll have a lot of tension.

The serial killer AU tag is there because I love stories about women and girls who are wicked, evil, awful, brutal, violent, malevolent, cruel, and awful. Just unrestrained terrible. It doesn’t get much more unrestrained terrible than this. One thing that could be interesting to explore in this context is Bev’s fear of blood (and what are the odds Gretta would mock her for it? high).

I requested the vampire AU tag because I have consumed far too much vampire fiction in my day and yet somehow I still want more. What has me intrigued is just how awful being a vampire would be for Bev. Considering her deep fear of blood and all that represents she would have such a hard time with it. Becoming a vampire is quite possibly one of the worst things that could possibly happen to Bev. That’s what makes the idea of it so interesting. It’s perfect.

Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater

Noah Czerny/Richard Gansey III

Tags: Raven Cycle: Noah is alive while Adam Blue Ronan and Gansey are ghosts, ALL: Genderswap to all female cast, All: Serial Killers

For “Noah is alive while Adam Blue Ronan and Gansey are ghosts”, I’m kinda picturing it as an age swap thing as well, with Adam, Blue, Ronan, and Gansey having all been dead for seven years while Noah is a living high school student. He is being so haunted, but at least he likes it. I like the way this would change the dynamic of things a whole lot in that there is a larger gap in how other people perceive the group vs how the group perceives the group than there is in canon. Because in canon people are just one person short whereas here Noah would look pretty isolated. For this pairing specifically how did Gansey die? In this universe was Gansey the one to befriend and be murdered by Whelk and years later Noah is a student of Whelk’s that he’s particularly fond of? Or maybe Gansey was stung to death by bees as a teenager while Noah narrowly avoided being sacrificed by Whelk (who I’m picturing as being around Gansey’s age) as a child? If you have a different idea go for it, but I would love it Gansey’s death created a connection between them like Noah’s death did.

I requested the “Genderswap to all female cast” tag because I love femslash and love the idea of these pairings as femslash. That’s essentially the only reason why but it’s a noble one if you ask me. How would changing this pairing from m/m to f/f change the dynamic? When it comes to names for the girl versions of these characters I have no idea. I think that the characters primarily known by a last name basis should probably stay that way, but other than that just do what you think is best. A lot of Gansey’s character is masks and differing self presentation depending on context, what does that look like with F!Gansey? Also feel free to mix this specific prompt with any of the other prompts.

As for the serial killer AU tag I just really love dark Gansey. I find the idea of Gansey gone to the dark side fascinating, and well it doesn’t really get anymore dark side than this. So just go all out with that. Also how does Noah feel about this? Is he an innocent in this or is this a dark interpretation of Noah as well? The dynamic between a serial killer and a ghost has potential to be really interesting due to them both having undeniable connections to death that twist them closer together even though their relationships to it are at least seemingly diametrically opposed. On a completely opposite note another way you could do it that I’d also be interested in would be an alive Noah who’s roughly the same age as Gansey (maybe slightly younger actually because one thing I find interesting about Noah is how while he’s chronologically the oldest of the friend group he also ends up being the youngest, and in an AU where he’s a living peer of Gansey and Adam and so on if it comes up at all it is more important to me to preserve the youngest part than the technically the oldest part because as a ghost the oldest part manifests in his taste and such while the youngest part manifests in behavior and dynamics which is what would be more important to translate to such an AU) because why the hell not? Go with whichever one you feel would better suit your purposes.

Noah Czerny/Joseph Kavinsky

Tags: Raven Cycle: Noah is alive while Adam Blue Ronan and Gansey are ghosts, ALL: Genderswap to all female cast, All: Serial Killers

For “Noah is alive while Adam Blue Ronan and Gansey are ghosts”, I’m kinda picturing it as an age swap thing as well, with Adam, Blue, Ronan, and Gansey having all been dead for seven years while Noah is a living high school student. He is being so haunted, but at least he likes it. I like the way this would change the dynamic of things a whole lot in that there is a larger gap in how other people perceive the group vs how the group perceives the group than there is in canon. Because in canon people are just one person short whereas here Noah would look pretty isolated. Does Kavinsky see Noah as this friendless kid who would be easily used and manipulated like a toy because of the lack of a support system and highly worth going after because no one would care anyway? Or is he somehow aware of the ghosts? How do the ghosts feel about what’s going on between Kavinsky and Noah and is there anything they can do about it?

I requested the “Genderswap to all female cast” tag because I love femslash and love the idea of these pairings as femslash. That’s essentially the only reason why but it’s a noble one if you ask me. How would changing this pairing from m/m to f/f change the dynamic? When it comes to names for the girl versions of these characters I have no idea. I think that the characters primarily known by a last name basis should probably stay that way, but other than that just do what you think is best. I have a feeling that F!Kavinsky would be irritatingly hot. Also feel free to mix this specific prompt with any of the other prompts.

As for the serial killer AU tag, Kavinsky as a serial killer really works for me. Maybe it’s because Kavinsky is already fucked up in ways that are so easy to tweak in this direction that they barely qualify as changes. It’s like seeing him at what his worst could look like. Which could be fun. Or terrifying. Or terrifying in a fun way. Or fun in a terrifying— you get the point. The dynamic between a serial killer and a ghost has potential to be really interesting due to them both having undeniable connections to death that twist them closer together even though their relationships to it are at least seemingly diametrically opposed. Although I’m not sure if Kavinsky can see ghosts. So you can write Noah as a ghost and handwave Kavinsky being able to see him or you can write an alive Noah who’s roughly the same age as Kavinsky (maybe slightly younger actually because one thing I find interesting about Noah is how while he’s chronologically the oldest of the friend group he also ends up being the youngest, and in an AU where he’s a living peer of Gansey and Adam and so on if it comes up at all it is more important to me to preserve the youngest part than the technically the oldest part because as a ghost the oldest part manifests in his taste and such while the youngest part manifests in behavior and dynamics which is what would be more important to translate to such an AU) where you just handwave the timeline and most of canon. Yay handwaving! Whichever way you end up going I have the same question which is how the hell did Kavinsky drag Noah into this (assuming Noah knows what Kavinsky does)? Also is Noah an innocent in this or is this a dark Noah who was happy to be dragged in?

DCU (Comics)

F!Bart Allen/F!Wally West

Just them not getting along at all and fighting all the time due to general personality conflict and legacy related issues. A whole lot of bickering. F!Wally wanting nothing to do with F!Bart and seeing her as an immature brat with these manic pixie dream girl tendencies that drive her up the wall. F!Bart seeing F!Wally as stiff and unkind in return. As much as F!Bart might fire back underneath it all she doesn’t understand why F!Wally doesn’t like her and really wants her to. To F!Wally’s credit she does care about F!Bart. Deep down. In her own way. If this was the general state of their relationship before they somehow ended up sexually and/or romantically entangled… it would be a disaster (even if this had a happy ending the road to it is unlikely to be pretty) but a disaster I would love to see. I am very interested to see exactly how their relationship changes and what them being together would look like.

An AU I think could be interesting to put these two in would be canon divergence where the Garricks weren’t available to take F!Bart in for whatever reason so F!Wally has to take in F!Bart herself.

Another AU that could be rad would be a cops and robbers one with F!Wally as the cop and F!Bart as the robber (or maybe they’re both robbers trying their best to cooperate). Bank robber AUs work well for me when they double as historical AUs (because they go so well with so many different eras) and when they are set in the modern day. On a slightly related note if you wanted to write a mundane AU I think F!Bart being fresh out of juvie or some similar situation would be a good idea as a way to create an equivalent for the terrible future F!Bart comes from.

Whenever I think about this ship, specifically the femslash iteration of it that I’m requesting here, two words always comes to mind: growing pains. Take or leave that however you like.

As for names I am really fond of Wendy for F!Wally and Beth for F!Bart. If you have another name that you prefer for F!Wally I’m open to it. I’d also be open to a different name for F!Bart, but I will warn you that I am pickier about names for her. Mostly because Bart was named after his grandfather Barry, and I prefer that to stay intact even if it’s difficult to find a name that’s close enough to Bart to be recognizable but also short for something that can also be shortened to something else close enough to Barry to be recognizable. It took me a long time to think of Elizabeth with F!Bart being Beth and F!Barry being Betsy, and if you can think of another name that would work like that, then go for it. You could get away with keeping F!Bart’s name as Bart if this incarnation of Barry Allen is still a dude.

On a similar note if any of the other characters from the wider DCU make an appearance feel free to genderbend them or not however you please as long as you don’t break my unrequested m/f DNW. So like if you wanted to have past F!Wally/Linda I would ask that you don’t genderbend Linda, and if you wanted to have past F!Bart/Thad I would ask that it be F!Thad. Otherwise knock yourself out.

IT (2017)

Eddie Kaspbrak/M!Myra Kaspbrak

Eddie is a character that reads very strongly to me as gay and deeply closeted. I won’t get into all of the reasons why I interpret him like that because that’s a whole essay (it’s less about his interactions with other characters, although that does play into it a little bit, and more about his interactions with himself as well as the fears and anxieties he carries with him). What I will say is that the specific incarnation of Eddie I’m requesting hardly has that subtext at all in comparison to him in the book or miniseries (there are little itty bitty tiny things but I doubt I would have picked up on them if I weren’t already predisposed to see the character this way due to the book and miniseries). I also understand that my interpretation is not universal. I’m going through this here because I know it’s not like canonical and my prompt is about to take this reading for granted as if it were (mostly because this reading is a huge part of why I want this in the first place).

One thing I really like about IT is the way it shows the cyclical nature of trauma. People often end up in the same terrible situations over and over again. It’s mostly through no fault of their own. People have a tendency to seek out the familiar because it’s comfortable which is bad if the familiar is a nightmare but is ultimately very difficult to prevent because it so often completely subconscious. Eddie and Bev’s marriages are really good examples of this. I’m actually curious to see how the sequel handles this considering the way that Eddie stood up to his mother (also with how Bev stood up to her father but I’m gonna focus on Eddie since that’s who the Prompt is about). Would that disrupt the cycle in some way? Or would it just make so he thinks he’s not trapped in this cycle when he very much is? Or would losing those memories make it as if he never stood up to his mom at all?

Now that I’m done with the preamble and context what I would be interested to see is an Eddie who is out of the closet but still ultimately married his mother. Whether or not he understands that this is what happened is up to you, I like it either way. Were the traits of M!Myra’s that mirrored his mother’s subtle at first? Were they unnoticed until it was too late? Was M!Myra blatantly Sonia Kaspbrak-esque from day one but Eddie was less capable of recognizing it because M!Myra is a man? Also how does Eddie feel about his husband?

When I say I want M!Myra to essentially be Sonia Kaspbrak repackaged, I don’t mean personality or looks wise (although feel free to sprinkle in elements of that). I mean in the way that he treats Eddie and in general relationship dynamics. M!Myra thinks of his husband as delicate and in need of protection. Perhaps he could be written as pretty manipulative. Him insisting on a kiss before Eddie walks out the door every time could definitely work as a story point.

As for names I think Marty would be a good one for M!Myra because that was one of Eddie’s nicknames for Myra in the book, but if you have a different idea go for it.

If you go with this specific request I’d prefer it if in the event any of the Losers Club are referenced or appear that they not be genderbent. I am making this clear here because my wishes when it comes to my other request for the same fandom are different and I don’t want there to be any confusion.

F!Eddie Kaspbrak/Gretta Keene

How does Gretta feel about F!Eddie? Since Gretta is the daughter of the pharmacist I’d imagine that even if they were never close they would have at least been aware of each other from a very young age. I have a feeling that Gretta’s feelings about F!Eddie would be different than her feelings about regular old M!Eddie (even if she’s never exactly kind to her or doesn’t behave all that much differently). Maybe she likes her deep down and in a world where she wasn’t so lame she would keep her and wouldn’t hesitate to try to mold her into something more acceptable. Maybe she doesn’t like her at all but can’t help but feel a bizarre sense of solidarity. Or maybe it’s something else entirely, more complicated.

I would be interested to see F!Eddie who bottles up her feelings and keeps her cards close to her chest. Sure, the monster was vanquished at the end of the summer (for now at least), but the majority of her problems and pain didn’t go with it. F!Eddie has a lot of dark feelings swarming around, a great deal of it anger. She loves her friends more than life itself, but there is no way in hell she's telling them what’s going on with her. That’s need to know information, and even if it weren’t that isn’t who she is. But then there’s Gretta who knows about F!Eddie’s home situation. If F!Eddie had a choice Gretta would be the last person she’d tell, she didn’t even tell her friends, but she didn’t have a choice. If anything Gretta was the one that had a choice since she was the one who told F!Eddie. Having someone that knows what her friends don’t undeniably has an effect on her life whether she wants it to or not. Especially someone like Gretta who would encourage her to act on destructive feelings.

I could see the foundation of their relationship being a sexual one. They could have a mutual attraction. F!Eddie has thought of Gretta as the prettiest girl ever to live since they were five and now they’re older that opinion has only strengthened. As much as Gretta mocks F!Eddie’s tiny shorts she really just wants to take them off. Both of them hate themselves for their attraction, not only because of the internalized homophobia but also because it’s her. Of all people why did it have to be her? They fall into each other anyway. The fooling around that ensues is not devoid of feelings. Oh there are plenty of feelings involved, but they are all extremely complicated ones. If you have a different idea for how to get these two together I’d be down for that as well.

No matter what their relationship is like or how they come together it’s a union I’m sure the other Losers would deeply disapprove of. Would this have any effect on F!Eddie’s decisions going into the relationship? Is what’s going on with Gretta something she actively hides from them or something she just doesn’t tell them about? Does Gretta have any desire to separate F!Eddie from her friends?

Gretta’s reaction to F!Eddie changing LOSER to LOVER could be fun to have as a plot point.

When I think of this pairing, particularly as femslash (which is honestly the only way I like it) I four things pop into my mind: every girl needs to kill something, suburban gothic, “There’s something dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls”, and Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Do with that information whatever you want.

As for names I really like Addie for F!Eddie. Edie also works. If you have another idea go ahead.

Also for this specific request if any of the other Loser appear or are referenced and you want to genderbend them, feel free to do so or not just as long as you don’t violate my unrequested m/f DNW. For example if you wanted to have background Stan/Mike I’d rather you genderbend them both or not at all. Otherwise go wild, I’m open to everything from F!Eddie as the token girl to M!Bev as the token boy to F!Eddie and Bev as the only girls to a more equal mix to all girl Losers to anything else you could do with the gender configuration.

Salem’s Lot - Stephen King

F!Ben Mears/F!Mark Petrie

With this pairing I like it romantic and sordid at the same time. Romantic because they just love each other so much and due to everything they’ve been through together they are each other’s whole world. They both love each other more than the other could possibly understand. Sordid in that it’s also still an adult and a minor in a sketchy motel room. Or a car.

Tell me about their time on the road going from place to place. Stories about drifters/people on the run are some of my favorite things. Just all the diners and motels and strange little towns and marked up road maps and long stretches of open road please.

F!Ben hasn’t had the greatest luck with women. Her technically-not-wife (in this universe considering the era although I’m thinking they considered themselves married even if the law didn’t) died in a car accident and then there was the whole thing with Susan. Does all of this make entering into a new romantic relationship nerve wracking or is it nerve wracking for other reasons? Or is she calm about this? On a related note do either of them feel guilt over the relationship?

What was their first time like? Who initiated it? Who initiated their relationship to go in that direction in the first place? Was it even properly, intentionally started by either of them or did it just sorta happen and by the time they realized it they couldn’t turn back?

I would really be into if they had a bit of a butch/femme thing going F!Ben being butch and F!Mark being femme. If you aren’t into it isn’t a requirement. This particular prompt would be like extra credit in my eyes.

This prompt isn’t ship oriented but it’s still something that interests me from a character perspective. F!Mark is a nerd, but what is her relationship to her own geekiness like after Salem’s Lot considering it’s monstercentric nature? Does reading about the things she used to enjoy make her sick now or does she cling to it tighter and more obsessively than ever before because it makes her feel safe?

As for names Marcie might be a good one for F!Mark. If you like it, use it, if you don’t I’m not married to it. I don’t have any ideas for alternative names for F!Ben and I’m open to anything you might come up with. If you wanna use the original names feel free.

DCU (Comics) Part 2

F!Bart Allen/Cassie Sandsmark

I think this could be cute. The things that pop into my head when I think of this are divine heroic quests on a much more petty scale than those from the myths of old, juvie, having something to prove, and roller skates. Make of that what you will.

Name wise I really like Beth for F!Bart. I’m a bit picky on that one and I go more in depth with my reasoning in my F!Bart/F!Wally request.

F!Jason Todd/F!Wally West

It’s only your best friend’s undead little sister. What could go wrong?

Name wise I like Wendy for F!Wally and Jay or Jayne for F!Jason but if you have other ideas I am open to it.

Indiana Jones Series

Henry "Indiana" Jones/M!Marion Ravenwood

What I’ve always found most interesting about these two is the backstory between them where they got together when Marion was underage (I think she was fifteen but it’s been a while since I read about the exact intentions of the filmmakers, what I do remember clearly was that George Lucas had to be talked up from her being twelve) and Indiana was somewhere in his twenties and her father found out about it leading to his fallout with Indiana and how now that Marion has grown up she’s bitter about what happened between them (“I was a child!” anyone). For this request I’d be interested to see what this series of events would look like with M!Marion instead and maybe someone what the reunion between them would look like as well.

I understand that Marion was in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but I never saw it and that’s about all that I know about that movie. I have seen the other three movies though. I’m telling you this because that’s a part of canon I am completely unfamiliar with so if you wrote me fic about that movie specifically I doubt I would be able to appreciate it.

As for M!Marion’s name, I have no idea. Do whatever.

Henry "Indiana" Jones/M!Willie Scott

I just think M!Willie Scott would be a hell of a lot of fun, and I’d love to see Indiana/Willie as a m/m ship. Just Indiana dealing with M!Willie who is still essentially the same personality and background wise would be great.

As for names I’d like it if M!Willie’s name was still Willie, but you have another idea sure.

IT (2017) Part 2

F!Bill Denbrough/F!Eddie Kaspbrak

Whenever I think of the f/f iteration of this pairing my thoughts tend to go to F!Eddie as F!Bill’s muse. With this pairing I’m always here for dynamics born of them using each other to cope with their respective family issues. Themes of bottled up emotions and anger and complex mother daughter relationships would be some things that would likely be worthwhile to explore with F!Eddie.

As for names I like Billie for F!Bill and Addie, Edie, and Edna for F!Eddie. If you have other ideas go for it.

F!Bill Denbrough/F!Richie Tozier

Loyalty. Follow you to end of the earth loyalty. That’s what I want here.

As for names I like Billie for F!Bill and Reggie or Roxie for F!Richie. If you have other ideas go for it.

Ben Hanscom/M!Beverly Marsh

I’m fascinated by what Beverly Marsh’s story and problems and trauma would look like when applied to a boy. Also Ben who is just as head over heels for M!Beverly as he usually is.

As for names maybe Beven or Beaver (as in Leave it to Beaver, maybe Beaver could be a nickname his father gave him as a part of a “you’re my little boy” thing) for M!Bev? If you have other ideas go for it.

F!Eddie Kaspbrak/F!Mike Hanlon

The words that come to mind for this pairing are sweet and brave. Also the movie implies they may have known each other before Mike joined the Losers so that could be a thing to explore.

As for names I like Addie, Edie, and Edna for F!Eddie and Michaela or Mika for Mike. If you have other ideas go for it.

F!Richie Tozier/F!Stanley Uris

Chaos and decay. Those are the two words that come to mind right now for this. Do with that whatever you want.

For names I like Stacey or Steph for F!Stan and Reggie or Roxie for F!Richie. If you have other ideas go for it.

Marvel 616

F!Frank Castle/F!Marc Spector

I’m just interested in seeing what these characters would be like as women because we don’t get many ladies like either of them. Whatever you do, don’t shy away from their more gritty, dark, or violent aspects. Also I love their friendship and mutual respect for each other and a fic about them kicking ass and falling in love would be great.

As for names do whatever you want. I have no concrete ideas.

F!Harry Osborn/F!Peter Parker

Secrets, guilt, and bears, oh my! I think my favorite flavor for this pairing would be when Norman (or maybe Norma for this fic?) Osborn is dead, Harry thinks Spider-Man did it and wants revenge, he has no idea that Peter is Spider-Man, he is slowly siding off the deep end into the dark, and Peter is filled with guilt over Harry and a result Harry has way more power over Peter than he knows. Like by far. And seeing that twistiness as f/f would be fucking amazing, I think.

As for names I’m pretty attached to Penny for F!Peter but for F!Harry do whatever you want.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)

Buffy Summers/Kendra Young

Tags: "We Could Be Dead Tomorrow So Let's Get Married Today", Bad Guys Made Them Get Married, Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress, Blurting Out Proposal Unplanned, First Time Living Together/Moving In Together After Wedding, Forced Marriage Leads to Genuine Feelings, Future Arranged Spouses are Forbidden To Meet But Able To Study One Another's Hobbies, Improvised Unofficial Wedding Ceremonies, Marriage Is Sealed with Blood Drinking, Marrying for a prophecy, Teenage Marriage, Time Travel Backward To Fix The Past Also Results In Unexpectedly Getting Married, Trapped In Fake Perfect World That Includes Marriage They Don't Believe They Can Ever Really Have

One direction you could go marriage at the hands of the Watcher’s Council. Maybe there was a prophecy that demanded it or an old obscure rule written that in the event of two slayers at the same time they must be married. Maybe it was just cause. I’ll leave the reasons up to you and whatever works best for your story. “Future Arranged Spouses are Forbidden To Meet But Able To Study One Another's Hobbies” is a tag I think would work beautifully with this specific pairing under these circumstances, especially if you go into what this causes them to assume about one another. I like the idea of this marriage starting out as just another part of being a slayer they have to go through but then they end up falling for each other.

A different direction you could go with this would be them being forced to marry by vampires or demons. This specific circumstance is why I have the “Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress” and “Marriage Is Sealed with Blood Drinking” tags but if you wanna use them without going for this specific prompt feel free because they’re great. Just them getting married under horrific circumstances that are really more of a demonic parody of marriage than anything else and then falling for each other for real afterwards. Or if the reason they are having a demon wedding is that they’ve have joined the side of darkness (either becoming vampires themselves or just defecting or whatever) that could also be rad.

A third direction you could go is a spur of the moment “I love you let’s get married right now” type of thing that’s spontaneous and passionate and romantic and sweet. I can see Buffy proposing that way but it also works for me if it’s Kendra’s idea. That type of wedding for them would make me smile. Also the fallout of a sudden marriage on their lives and amongst their friends and the Watcher’s Council could be fun.

If you go with “Time Travel Backward To Fix The Past Also Results In Unexpectedly Getting Married” then maybe Buffy uses the time travel to save Kendra’s life and then when she’s back in the modern day she discovers that she married Kendra and has to adjust to that being her life now. Either that or Buffy has to relive her life from the point of divergence and she ends up close to Kendra in ways she didn’t expect and they end up married.

I just had to have the “Trapped In Fake Perfect World That Includes Marriage They Don't Believe They Can Ever Really Have” tag because that feels like it would be the plot of an actual episode. Which one ends up in the fake perfect world is up to you, but I will admit that when I go through this scenario in my head more often than not it’s Kendra. Bonus points if the relationship is the one part of the perfect world that would be attainable in the real world even if they don’t realize it.

Greek and Roman Mythology

Achilles/Troilus

Tags: Dealing with In-Law(s), Divine Decree That They Must Wed, Drawbacks of marrying a God, Forced To Marry Rapist, Marriage only means of saving one's homeland, Marriage to keep enemy under your control, Married at first sight because the Gods deem it so, Marrying for a prophecy, Political marriage that makes everything worse, political marriage where one partner is under orders to kill their spouse, Proposal Recipient misunderstands due to cultural differences, Slice of Married Life During Wartime, Visions of Alternate Timeline Where Impossible Marriage Happens/Works Out

I’m imagining this as some probably misguided attempt to put an end to the Trojan War whether it be at the hands of the Trojan royal family or the Greek military leaders or the gods themselves. This could also totally be an offensive move to advance the war a la “I just married your youngest prince/mightiest warrior, your move Trojans/Greeks” and that could be interesting.

For the “Dealing with In-Law(s)” tag I’m mostly thinking of Achilles having to interact with Hector in this context or Troilus having to interact with Thetis in this context because that could be great. Also for the “political marriage where one partner is under orders to kill their spouse” tag maybe Hector could be using this marriage as a way to plot Achilles’s assassination.

I included the “Visions of Alternate Timeline Where Impossible Marriage Happens/Works Out” tag because Troilus certainly has a connection to Apollo (even if the strength and exact nature of that connection is ambiguous to us in the modern day) and Apollo is connected with prophecies and psychics and oracles. So maybe Troilus could be having visions of this sort because that’s what his “gift” of sight allows him to see. Cue him responding to these visions however you see fit. Whether it really is an alternate timeline or Troilus just assumes it is and then it actually happens is up to you.

As for the “Drawbacks of marrying a God” tag, I know Achilles isn’t a god, but I figured he was close enough for the purposes of using that tag.

Star Trek: The Original Series

T’Pring/Nyota Uhura

Tags: Alien Marriage Traditions, Clash of customs/culture around wedding/marriage, Friends and family being way too involved in wedding planning, Proposal Recipient misunderstands due to cultural differences, Wedding Fluff, Wedding Night, Wedding traditions, Wedding Rituals

I really, really love the idea of these two together. My needs here are pretty simple. I just want a story about their human Vulcan wedding. Do they go more towards human traditions or Vulcan ones? Do they manage to strike a balance? What was the proposal like? The “Friends and family being way too involved in wedding planning” tag is there for the crew of the Enterprise just getting really into this wedding and possibly too enthusiastic. If you wanna set this in the Mirrorverse I’d be down.
