Fandoms: Daniel Blackland series, Withnail & I, The Lion in Winter, The Exorcist


Daniel Blackland series
Gabriel Argent, Max

I love the worldbuilding in these books. Bone eating! Cannibalism! Water magic through signs and sigils! Bureaucracy! The alternate history! There's so much hinted at and ripe for exploration. I've received a fic for this series before, and it was absolutely fantastic, and now I crave more.

I love what a bureaucratic nerd Gabriel is, and Max's progression from hound to AD of the Water Dept. I definitely ship Gabriel and Max, and love their loyalty to each other. There's a lot of excellent potential for them. I also dearly love all the other characters in the series and would be delighted to see them in the fic. And OCs, too!

Prompts if you want them:

• "Are you fucking my hound?"- Considering how Gabriel was very careful in trying to establish a sense of equality between him and Max, and not to make Max feel like he was a thing, how would their relationship change if they were fucking (from the start)? Would it be a power play on one of their parts? Gabriel trying to keep Max loyal or Max trying to make sure Gabriel finds him useful? Would it change things down the line?
• Osteomancer!Gabriel AU- I feel like this would be pretty dark, but I'm also very intrigued by how osteomancer!Gabriel would be different from how he is in canon. How would his and Max's relationship be different, considering Max's sensitive nose and Gabriel's relatives?
• What happened during the ten years between California Bones and Pacific Fire? What sort of power plays went down in LA that the new Director of the Water Department and his Assistant Director had to deal with? How did the progression from allies to best friends go, and did they even notice the progression? How many attempts on Gabriel's life have they had to deal with (or on Max's life)? How many people assume they're fucking, and are they/did they?
• What was Max's life like before he became a hound?

Withnail & I
Peter Marwood, Withnail

This movie is so difficult for me to recommend to people and I love it so much. Richard E Grant and Paul McGann are brilliant, and their relationship is fascinating and hilarious and tragic. They have history between them, and their lack of work, and they're so careless with each other while still, on some level, caring deeply. Also, they both seem to be fairly bad at being people, which makes their choice of career even more interesting to me.

I do ship them, in a trainwreck sort of way where there's a level of misery and codependence. But I'd also be delighted to receive something that explores their relationship further, whether that be in the past or a future where they end up meeting again.

Prompts if you want them:

• Always and forever- bad sex. Just the worst, really. The two of them coming together for whatever reason and even if the feelings are there the experience is just awful and humiliating for one or both of them. Erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation or teeth where they shouldn't be or technically it could be worse but for whatever reason it's still awful. Crying maybe?
• Pining/feelings realization, whether that be to themselves or to each other. I'm a sucker for these stories and would love to see something at any point in canon (esp as post-canon there would be the shadow of their failed holiday between them)
• How they met and the start of their friendship- Withnail, particularly, is a difficult person, so I'd love to see how they got to where they are
• Post-canon- does Marwood's career really take off, or was it just a one-time thing? Does Withnail at least pretend to pull himself together, or get even worse? How do they meet up again?

The Lion in Winter
Geoffrey Plantagenet, Philip II

Geoffrey was my favorite character in the movie, and young Timothy Dalton was a huge babe, and history said they were pretty close for a while, and I ship it. Geoffrey trying to manipulate everyone in sight and Phillip not doing a bad job of it himself makes for interesting possibilities. I really just love all the political machinations and high drama and would love to see anything with them as allies or even enemies! The rest of the messed-up Plantagenets are definitely more than welcome to come along, too.

Prompts if you want them:

• There are a number of fics out there already about Geoffrey swearing fealty to Philip and the two of them engaging in subtle scheming and one-upmanship, and also sex is involved and whoops feelings. I love these stories and would be delighted to read another one.
• Being self-indulgent for a moment- political hostage AU? Where Geoffrey is kind of the worst hostage, because Richard and Eleanor don’t really care about him, and this is a poke in the eye to both him and to France (“oh sure, we’ll give you a hostage…this spare son”). How would this change things? What awful bitterness and scheming would there be? How long has Geoff been in France, and does this affect Henry’s rebellion or Richard’s time in France?
• Missing scenes from the movie! Scheming, smooching, swordplay, talking about Eleanor and Alais and the whole messed up family situation…anything.
• Ghost story! After Geoffrey’s death, he decides to come back and haunt Philip. Or he doesn’t decide to, but finds his spirit is bound to Philip and they’re both kind of put out by it.

The Exorcist
Marcus Keane

 

• Marcus backstory! His childhood, his first “official” exorcism, meeting Bennett, the aftermath of Mouse…anything you can think of pre-show, I’m interested in. There’s a lot we don’t know about Marcus, after all!
• The missing six months. What was he up to during this time? Mental and spiritual recovery? Helping out at the local church? Learning about Pacific Northwestern wildlife? Taking odd jobs? Secret adventures?
• Reunited- post-S2, Marcus reunites with Tomas and Mouse- how has he changed? How have they changed? What is the state of the demons’ plotting? Is a road trip involved?
• The Trials and Temptations of Marcus Keane- how have demons tried to get into his head over the years? How close have they come to succeeding? Has he built up a resistance over time, or did he start off stalwart and his walls have become more fragile over time?
• Marcus and God- I am so interested in Marcus’ very personal relationship with God. If you want any kind of saintly spiritual ecstasy, I would be very down for that, but a character study about his thoughts on God or anything like that would be great.
• I love Marcus’ relationships with the kids in the show, and I’d love to see more of that, so- Marcus with any of the nominated kids! Something character-study-y or post-canon, or whatever.
• For this canon, I’m especially interested in horror tropes/stories, religious symbolism, magical realism, or anything to do with fate/agency. There’s a lot of stuff to play with, I think.

Daniel Blackland series
Any (Gabriel Argent, Max, The Hierarch, Daniel Blackland)

I love the worldbuilding in these books. Bone eating! Cannibalism! Water magic through signs and sigils! Bureaucracy! The alternate history! There's so much hinted at and ripe for exploration. I've received a fic for this series before, and it was absolutely fantastic, and now I crave more.

I love what a bureaucratic nerd Gabriel is, and Max's progression from hound to AD of the Water Dept. I definitely ship Gabriel and Max, and love their loyalty to each other. We don't see much of the Hierarch, but his touch is everywhere; he's ruined so many lives. And Daniel, for all that he's the main character, has a fair amount of only-hinted-at backstory I think could be explored.

Prompts if you want them:

• "Are you fucking my hound?"- Considering how Gabriel was very careful in trying to establish a sense of equality between him and Max, and not to make Max feel like he was a thing, how would their relationship change if they were fucking (from the start)? Would it be a power play on one of their parts? Gabriel trying to keep Max loyal or Max trying to make sure Gabriel finds him useful? Would it change things down the line?
• Osteomancer!Gabriel AU- I feel like this would be pretty dark, but I'm also very intrigued by how osteomancer!Gabriel would be different from how he is in canon. How would his and Max's relationship be different, considering Max's sensitive nose and Gabriel's relatives?
• What happened during the ten years between California Bones and Pacific Fire? What sort of power plays went down in LA that the new Director of the Water Department and his Assistant Director had to deal with? How did the progression from allies to best friends go, and did they even notice the progression? How many attempts on Gabriel's life have they had to deal with (or on Max's life)? How many people assume they're fucking, and are they/did they?
• What was Max's life like before he became a hound?
• Character study of the Heirarch- after all this time and all those bodies, what is life like? Can he still taste anything? Was he always like that? Does he have any family sentiment?
• Exploration of Daniel's childhood as a tool for his uncle?
• AU where the Heirarch takes Daniel, and all the children of osteomancers, into his home as his "heirs," where everyone is aware he's simply keeping them for food.
• Worldbuilding- Walt Disney is an osteomancer in this series, and I would love to know more about that! Just Walt building his empire of bone magic and wonder, and also maybe eating his rivals

• Fancy gets Hullenized again, and D'avin uses his power over the Green to de-Hullenize him again (From a distance? With his dick? Originally from a distance but, as things go on, D'avin's Magical DeHullenizing Dick makes an appearance? You decide!).
• Canon-divergent Red 17 fic, ft Fancy as a new Hullen and D'avin as a medical curiosity/prisoner, desperate for familiarity
• Fancy and D'avin go on a mission together. This could be canon-divergent, a 'missing mission,' or whatever else strikes you! Maybe they're trying to gather intelligence for the war, or maybe they're collecting a bounty, or maybe they stumbled onto something by accident and are now stuck together.
• Something exploring the similarities and differences between them. There was that great moment in S3 where D'avin shared how he understood what it was like to be controlled by something in your head, to live with that shame and knowledge, and I am 100% interested in hearing more about it.
• More about what life is like for the Cleansed! I felt cheated that we only got hints about what life was like for them, and I'd love a Fancy-focused fic on what life is like, and what it means that D'avin wants them to fight in the war.
• Lotus-eater fic in the Lady’s AU we saw at the end of S4. Maybe Fancy and D’avin are currently partnered Killjoys, maybe they’re still rivals, maybe they’ve never met (but are about to). I’d love to see them breaking loose from the Lady’s AU- subtle and not-so-subtle hints that something is wrong
• Fancy backstory! D'avin isn't necessary if you choose this option- I love Fancy and I'd be excited for any backstory for hijm.
• Post series fic!

Feel free to get dark, get weird, and/or get tropey. I’d love shipfic (and smut) for them, but their bitchy mutual-respect is the most important thing.


Always Crashing in the Same Car
James Booth, Bill Mackinnon

I love this short, with Jim's panic and desperation and Bill's almost unsettling calm. How many other panicked calls in the middle of the night have there been, and what has Bill made Jim do in exchange for having everything taken care of? Does he keep holding the tapes over Jim's head?

Prompts if you want them:

• It's implied in the short that Bill has been the man behind the curtain for several years. How did it start? Did he handpick James, or has Bill always gone after the person at the top, whoever they are? Both options are really interesting to me.
• What does Bill do with the tapes? Are there any further instances of James fucking up and Bill cleaning up after him? Post-short fic would be great!
• I like the canon setting, but also...space opera AU
• Just straight up smut

I can't think of any other prompts, so if you already have an idea of what you want to write, go for it. There are a lot of directions I think you could go for this canon, and I'd love to read any take on it.


12 Monkeys
Hannah "Zeit" Jones, Emma Kirschner

What a show to watch in 2020, right? Time traveling to stop a terrible pandemic and often just making things worse. I watched 12 Monkeys for the first time earlier this year and I absolutely loved it. The time travel was so cool, and the way the plotlines came together at the end was absolutely masterful. It was funny and action-packed and made me tear up on several occasions.

The episode "Daughters" really caught my imagination, and made me want fic about Hannah and Emma. I wound up shipping them based on their interactions, but I'd love friendship fic or even something just exploring their similarities and differences. Because of how the show  is, my prompts are generally AU/canon-divergence, but if you have something that would work in canon, you better believe I want to read it!

Prompts if you want them:

• Hannah and Emma get caught in a time loop...and fall in love. They both know once they break the loop they can't be together, but that doesn't stop the feelings
• AU where Hannah and Emma spend more time together before meeting Matthew, learning more about each other and coming to understand one another
• Emma keeps looking for traces of Hannah's mother and father in her, and Hannah has questions about them she isn't sure she wants to ask
• Full AU! Emma is a princess born to be a weapon, and Hannah is a warrior who is supposed to be dead. Adventure and romance ensue

I love what a bureaucratic nerd Gabriel is, and Max's progression from hound to AD of the Water Dept. I definitely ship Gabriel and Max, and love their loyalty to each other. We don't see much of the Hierarch, but his touch is everywhere; he's ruined so many lives.

I nearly nominated the Emmas, but they're all individuals and so realized that probably wouldn't go through. If you want to write worldbuilding fic focusing on any of the Emmas though, absolutely go for it! I'd love to read it.

Prompts if you want them:

• "Are you fucking my hound?"- Considering how Gabriel was very careful in trying to establish a sense of equality between him and Max, and not to make Max feel like he was a thing, how would their relationship change if they were fucking (from the start)? Would it be a power play on one of their parts? Gabriel trying to keep Max loyal or Max trying to make sure Gabriel finds him useful? Would it change things down the line?

The Exorcist
Marcus Keane

• Marcus backstory! His childhood, his first “official” exorcism, meeting Bennett, the aftermath of Mouse…anything you can think of pre-show, I’m interested in. There’s a lot we don’t know about Marcus, after all!
• The missing six months. What was he up to during this time? Mental and spiritual recovery? Helping out at the local church? Learning about Pacific Northwestern wildlife? Taking odd jobs? Secret adventures?
• Reunited- post-S2, Marcus reunites with Tomas and Mouse- how has he changed? How have they changed? What is the state of the demons’ plotting? Is a road trip involved?
• The Trials and Temptations of Marcus Keane- how have demons tried to get into his head over the years? How close have they come to succeeding? Has he built up a resistance over time, or did he start off stalwart and his walls have become more fragile over time?
• Marcus and God- I am so interested in Marcus’ very personal relationship with God. If you want any kind of saintly spiritual ecstasy, I would be very down for that, but a character study about his thoughts on God or anything like that would be great.
• I love Marcus’ relationships with the kids in the show, and I’d love to see more of that, so- Marcus with any of the nominated kids! Something character-study-y or post-canon, or whatever.
• This is a long shot BUT...if you want to write a crossover with Los Espookys, I would absolutely love that. Maybe a job of Los Espookys goes viral and someone from the Church comes to investigate, or maybe they end up actually summoning a malevolent demon and need the help of a real exorcist. The tone of the two shows are very different, and I'd be happy with either the light-hearted ridiculousness of Los Espookys or the darker tone of The Exorcist. If you go with this prompt you don't necessarily have to use Marcus- any character from the show will do.

That said, one thing I would have liked for the show is more Fancy, and so here I am. Fancy drops little hints about his life- he invents things, cooks, reads a lot, knows how to fish, etc, but there's still a lot of mystery around him. Also, he is really, really ridiculously good-looking. If you want to write shipfic with him, I'm cool with pretty much anything for him, although I'm particularly partial to Fancy/D'avin and Fancy/Khlyen. I saw a Fancy/The Lady fic a little while ago and could absolutely roll with it.

Prompts if you want them:

• Fancy backstory! Why did he become a Killjoy? Was he always a solo act? How much of what we see is an act and how much is just him?
• Fancy's life with the Cleansed- S3 talked about them, but we didn't see much, and I'd love to read more about dealing with not being the super-strong, essentially immortal emotionless killers they used to be. How much does Fancy regret what happened, and how much does he miss it, and how does he feel about the other Cleansed? What is it like having emotions again?
• The adventures of Fancy and Khlyen- anything about their time together would be great!
• Case fic! Fancy on a warrant!
• AU where Fancy sells illegal tech at Utopia? I'd love to see him interacting with the others from that perspective.

Absolutely feel free to include whatever other characters from the show you want, and/or to go wild with tropes. After all, half the fun of scifi is the tropiness! (at least for me)

• There are a number of fics out there already about Geoffrey swearing fealty to Philip and the two of them engaging in subtle scheming and one-upmanship, and also sex is involved and whoops feelings. I love these stories and would be delighted to read another one.
• Being self-indulgent for a moment- political hostage AU? Where Geoffrey is kind of the worst hostage, because Richard and Eleanor don’t really care about him, and this is a poke in the eye to both him and to France (“oh sure, we’ll give you a hostage…this spare son”). How would this change things? What awful bitterness and scheming would there be? How long has Geoff been in France, and does this affect Henry’s rebellion or Richard’s time in France?

Thanks again, for writing for me, and happy Yuletide

Dear Chocolatier,

The tag set was really great this year! Lots of awesome stuff nominated, and I had a great time trying to come up with what I wanted to request and offer. I'm requesting fic and art in most of these fandoms, but some ships I have a clearer idea of what I might want for art than others. If you have an idea and my prompts are lacking, please go for it! I love it when creators are self-indulgent and have fun with their work, so if you do that and avoid my DNW, I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever it is you create.

Always Crashing in the Same Car (fic)
A great short rife with possibilities for tense fic, smutfic, and messed up power dynamics. The dream is for Bill to have the upper hand, and for James to be into it and ashamed.

James Booth/Bill MacKinnon

• Origins of their weird relationship- there's the implication that Bill has done this for years. Did he handpick James, or is James interchangeable with other PMs? What happened the first time Bill made James call him the boss?
• Future power-plays- Do things escalate from the short? Does James fuck up again? What did Bill do with the tapes?
• Space opera AU- Power dynamics in spaaaaace

The Exorcist (fic/art)
I love this show! I'm a huge wimp when it comes to horror, but I love this show and it's charismatic priests (and ex-priests, and families) so much.

Devon Bennett/Marcus Keane

• Guilty fantasizing- does Marcus ever fantasize about unbuttoning Bennett? Does Bennett ever dream about sharing in Marcus' grace with God? Do either of them ever wonder about what it would be like to have the other's focus trained on them for non-work related reasons?
• Not technically breaking our vows- whether that be going on not-dates or 'it's not gay if the balls don't touch', ways they might have something while still keeping to their vows
• Foul-mouthed demon has some things to say- the two of them try and exorcise a demon who either has some ideas about what the two of them could do together, or pulls from their minds to make things uncomfortable and disrupt the exorcism
• Post-exorcism relief- a quiet moment together after a successful exorcism, or an adrenaline rush, or awe at each other's skill and fortitude

Marcus Keane/Peter Morrow

• Seeing God- with Peter, Marcus learns to connect with God again. Through physical touch, or seeing God in the little things, or just a healing process that allows Marcus to fix the broken connection- anything in which Peter helps Marcus find grace again
• Late night boat trip- either a different take on the original boat trip, or another late night boat trip
• The road not taken- what if Marcus took Peter up on his offer of that drink, and his advice to retire?

Kat Rance/Verity

• She was a punk; she took ballet- I love Kat and Verity, even if they make me think of Avril Lavigne's 'sk8r boi,' a song I have terrible memories of. Anything along these lines would be fantastic though.
• Meeting through a forum for possession/exorcism survivors- the two had different experiences with their family being possessed- how might that affect their opinions of each other? Do they have different personas online and offline? Does the fact that Kat's case was so high-profile affect Verity's opinion of her?
• Meeting through Marcus or Tomas- maybe Marcus or Tomas makes an off-hand reference to the other, or there's an official (or unofficial) meeting of families who know Marcus and Tomas, and Kat and Verity hit it off (or don't, at first)

Killjoys (fic/art)

Aneela/Delle Seyah Kendry

• Learning what the Green can do- Aneela teaching Kendry about her new abilities, and showing her her own abilities to manipulate the Green
• Queens of the Hullen- forget the Lady: Aneela and Kendry are in charge of the Hullen, and they have plans
• Why is Kendry different?- Aneela's had other lovers, but Kendry was the only one she seems to have actually developed feelings for and a connection to. What is it about Kendry that makes them such a good match?

D'avin Jaqobis/Fancy Lee

• On a mission together- a missing scene; post s3, whatever!
• De-Hullenizing Fancy- either canon-divergent or Fancy gets reinfected. What does D'avin do, with his magical deHullenizing abilities?
• Similarities- just something about how they are similar in some ways. I really liked their moments of connection in S3
• Canon-divergent Red-17- D'avin doesn't escape. Fancy is Hullen, and D'avin is a medical curiosity desperate for familiarity (and desperate to escape)

Misfits (fic)
I have a roller-coaster of a relationship with this show, but I was really into how into Curtis Rudy seemed at times. Not that I blamed him- Nathan Stewart-Jarrett is a babe. Tragically, there is a lack of fic about them, and they were nominated, so, here I am!

Curtis Donovan/Rudy Wade

• Sex-swapping- Maybe they experiment with the physical differences; maybe Curtis doesn't tell Rudy and Rudy keeps trying to hit on Curtis' girl self while having awkward feelings for boy Curtis; or anything else that incorporates Curtis' power
• Different Rudies trying to get with Curtis- They all have feelings for him, they just express it in different ways; Curtis is baffled (and flattered?)
• Canon-divergence- Muddling through life- Curtis is never zombified- what might happen as they grow and the world changes?

MCU (fic and art)
Thor: Ragnarok was a gift, and I will always and forever love Fury and Natasha's interactions in Winter Soldier. I lumped together & and / requests for prompts, because I am interested in both permutations but can't think of a ton of prompts.

Bruce Banner & Brunnhilde | Valkyrie, Bruce Banner/Brunnhilde | Valkyrie

• Romance novel cover/plot ft damsel!Bruce- If you want to play this straight or go for parody, I am into this
• Jock and nerd- Anything along the lines of these archetypes, really- jock and nerd are friends, jock and nerd are banging furiously, jock and nerd are both emotionally stunted...it's all great.
• Realizing why they seem so familiar- whether it's a slow realization of half-memories and familiar phrases, or an all-at-once holy shit moment, I'd love to see them realize why the other seems familiar
• Moment alone on the ship- It's a big ship full of ex-Sarkaarians and Asgardians, and neither of them entirely fit

Brunnhilde | Valkyrie/Hulk, Hulk & Brunnhilde | Valkyrie

• Training together- the fact that they apparently train together in the movie is delightful. I'd love to see them actually train!
• Fighting together turns to something else- wink, wink
• Destroying some aliens- I'd love to see the two of them just absolutely going to town on some aliens who messed with the wrong people
• Together on Sakaar- just them hanging out on Sakaar, or developing feelings on Sakaar, or anything on Sakaar, really!

Nick Fury & Natasha Romanov, Nick Fury/Natasha Romanov

• Mutual respect- anything about the two of them respecting each other's expertise and abilities
• Fake relationship- for whatever reason, they have to pretend to be dating/married. I'm happy with this turning romantic or them having fun with it, no romance attached
• No one can tell if they're flirting or angry at each other- maybe they're not even sure. Maybe it's both.
• Planning a mission together- Late nights working out every angle they can, because they're professionals who don't really have a life outside of work

Rogue One (fic)
The relationships nominated for this fandom got me. Thank you, nominators, for requesting Cassian like this. Note- for Bail/Cassian, I'd prefer if Breha was either not mentioned or handwaved, as infidelity is a DNW

Bail Organa/Cassian Andor

• Cassian hero worships Bail and fantasizes about him- innocent fantasies of praise get dirtier, or dreaming about rescuing the handsome Senator and getting a kiss in return? Or something else?
• Messing around at a party- the Rebellion celebrates a victory, and one thing leads to another...
• Secret relationship- Bail can't be seen to be playing favorites, and Cassian knows that individuals in the Rebellion are expendable, but they keep coming together anyway

Cassian Andor/K2-SO

• Wireplay/Ooh, what does this do?- Cassian discovering a new way to mess around with K2's wires; K2 discovers when Cassian is touched like so, you get some very interesting reactions
• Not in my programming- even though he's been reprogrammed, K2 is a security droid at his core, but he keeps having weird...feelings
• Undercover on a mission- K2 has Cassian 'prisoner'; somewhere they have to pretend to be dating; any kind of undercover fun

Tentacles/Cassian Andor & K2-SO

• Consentacles and K2 thinks humans are weird- Cassian wants to have fun (or has just had fun) with some lovely tentacled alien, and K2 does not understand organics
• Consentacles and also K2 is trying to talk to Cassian about a mission- Cassian is currently having fun with some lovely tentacled alien, and K2 is trying to talk to him (over comms, outside the door, literally in the same room- what's your problem, Cassian, it's not like K2 cares...)
• Nonconstentacles and K2 has something to say about it- Cassian has, for whatever reason, had/will have/is currently having a bad experience with some tentacles, and K2 is not pleased (could be violent, could be weirdly tender, or anything in the middle)

Star Trek TOS (fic/art)
I grew up with TOS, and Bones was always my favorite, so this Valentine's I opted to request Bones/alien good times (or less than good-times, as the case may be). No Pon-Farr, please.

Leonard “Bones” McCoy/Spock

• On an away mission together- I love pretty much all away mission scenarios, so just have fun with this
• Accidental stimulation- For whatever reason, people are bumping uglies and touching hands, and Bones and Spock are feeling some kinda way
• Firsts- first kiss, first date, first time, first realization that maybe they have ~feelings for each other...anything along these lines is good
• General bickering- wait is this flirting?- one or the other (or both!) realizing that, at some point, their bickering has turned into flirting

Leonard “Bones” McCoy/Mirror!Spock

• In my head- Mirror!Spock got into Bones' head- what are some consequences? What happened in there?
• Substitutes- either Mirror!Spock using Bones as a substitute for his doctor, or Bones coming to think of Mirror!Spock as a more ruthless substitute for his Spock, or both- complicated feelings and weirdness and resentment all welcome
• On the wrong side of the mirror- either Bones is trapped in the Mirrorverse, or mirror!Spock is trapped in the TOS!verse, what happens next?

Leonard “Bones” McCoy/Original Male Alien(s)

• Studying together and oh we have an anatomy lesson- at the Academy, Bones and his fellow student(s) have a hands-on approach to learning anatomy
• Alien tries to woo Bones- this could be sweet, creepy, funny- whatever mood you want, at any stage of Bones' life
• If you touch someone there you have to marry them, yes, even if you're saving their life- Bones saves an alien's life and now they have to get married. Does he run? Roll with it? Has this happened before or does he have a string of spouses across the galaxy due to this custom?

Voltron: Legendary Defender (fic/art)
I enjoy watching the show, staying out of fandom discussion as much as possible, and Hunk. For Matt/Hunk/Pidge, I'd prefer if it was more a V-scenario, or, at least, there was less focus on the Matt/Pidge element.

Hunk/Keith

• Training together- maybe it's sweet, maybe it's sweaty, maybe it's both, but it's important to train and learn from each other
• Hunk encouraging Keith to goof off- anything where Keith gets to let loose and be a goofy weirdo
• Hunk is large and Keith is all about that- him.......big
• On another mission together- any scenario you can think of would be great

Hunk/Lance

• Them as cadets- I'd love to see them pre-series, becoming friends, developing crushes...whatever
• Goofing off together- they're both huge goofs, so anything playing with that is great
• Thinking about home- pretty self-explanatory?
• Pun wars- the worse the puns are, the more I will love it

Hunk/Shiro

• Comfort food- developing a relationship through food! I love this trope
• Mutual respect- just anything where they appreciate and respect each other.
• Trapped somewhere together- whether this leads to confessions or something a little more intense, I love this scenario
• Just casually showing off at the gym- either or both of them just casually showing off at the gym, aware (or not) of how it's affecting the other

Hunk & Pidge | Kate Holt, Hunk/Pidge | Kate Holt

• Building a robot together!- a friend robot? a sex robot? a highly versatile robot? Who knows!
• World's most elaborate prank- again, I love it when people get to goof off, so them conducting a prank would be great
• Pidge has to rescue Hunk- works for friendship or romance; bonus points if Hunk says 'my hero' at any point, sarcastically or not
• Napping together- just a quiet moment on the ship, taking a nap

Matt Holt/Hunk/Pidge | Katie Holt

• Three nerds chilling in a hot tub- pretty self explanatory I think? Have fun with this
• Competitive wooing- Matt and Pidge both trying to win Hunk over, and they are really competitive about it
• ...for science!- the three of them doing anything for science, really.
• Rebel and two Paladins- watch out Galra Empire- something about how the three of them putting their skills and resources together makes them a formidable team

Matt Holt & Pidge | Katie Holt

• Thinking about home/family- are they ever going to see their parents again? At least they have each other
• Catching up- just catching up on all the things that have happened since they last saw each other. Pidge did what? Matt blew up where?
• Matt introducing his sister to his team of rebels- what do they think of his tiny Paladin sister? What does she think of them? Does she try and embarrass him, or vice versa?
• Pidge teasing Matt about his crushes- any crushes, past, present, or future. He can tease her back

Dear SmutSwap Author

Thanks for writing for me! Below my general likes and DNWs, and then fandom-specific prompts and ideas. For this, I just put down a few things I really want to see, but I'm also completely down with kinks adjacent or complimentary to the ones I listed. As long as it doesn't hit my DNWs, I'll probably love it.

General likes: hands; people bad at understanding emotions; bad choices made for good reasons; loyalty; first times; intimacy; sensory details (esp smell and touch); canon-divergence; future fic; nonpenetrative sex (especially intercrural and oral); messy sex; awkward sex where the parties are into it but also not necessarily great at whatever they're doing; sweat

DNW: A/B/O or biological imperative; anything pregnancy or belly related; body modification; double penetration in one hole; medical kink (including catheters and enemas); watersports and adjacent kinks; ageplay; incest (including daddy/mommy kink)

Always Crashing in the Same Car
Bill Mackinnon/James Booth (Always Crashing in the Same Car)
Kinks: Sex as an assertion of dominance; Blackmail/Sexual Coercion; Unwelcome arousal; Verbal Humiliation; Shame; Classical Conditioning; Involuntary/Uncontrollable Ejaculation

I love this short, with James' panic and desperation and Bill's almost unsettling calm. How many other panicked calls in the middle of the night have there been, and what has Bill made James do in exchange for having everything taken care of? Does he keep holding the tapes over James' head?

For this pairing I'd love to see Bill calmly manipulating the hell out of James, and James shamefully coming to like it. I like the idea of Bill using James to get himself off, and not bothering to see if James comes, but I also like the idea of Bill making sure James gets off to something humiliating and appearing completely unaffected, as a power thing.

I saw classical conditioning, and I thought it could be really interesting if Bill subtly conditions James and then uses that to his advantage in the workplace.

I don't have anything more specific- mostly what I'm looking for is Bill having the upper hand and James being into it and ashamed.

Lion in Winter
Geoffrey Plantagenet/Philip II of France (Lion in Winter)
Kinks: Sharing a bed; Intercrural; Power Dynamics; Seduction; Bathing/Washing; Character study through porn

Geoffrey was my favorite character in the movie, and young Timothy Dalton was a huge babe, and history said they were pretty close for a while, so, naturally, I ship it. Geoffrey trying to manipulate everyone in sight and Phillip not doing a bad job of it himself makes for interesting possibilities.

For this, I was thinking of Geoffrey and Phillip falling into a sexual relationship based off trying to manipulate each other, and then getting thwacked by unexpected feelings. I'm interested in calculated decisions and references to Geoffrey paying homage to Phillip and them sharing a bed. Mentions of past Richard/Phillip are absolutely fine, I just want the focus on Geoffrey/Phillip.

I'd be especially into intercrural for this ship, considering historical hangups, but the dynamic is the most important thing.

Star Trek: TOS
Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Mirror Leonard McCoy/Mirror Spock (TOS); Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Mirror Spock (TOS); Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock (TOS); Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock/Mirror Spock (TOS)
Kinks: Hand and finger kink; Overstimulation; Sex Pollen; Consent Issues; Antagonism leads to sex; Arguing during sex; Marking

Spock/McCoy is my big Star Trek ship. I love them sniping at each other while secretly respecting one another. It's good stuff.

Please feel free to make this weird. It's Star Trek, after all. Fucked up identity issues with the Mirrorverse, mind melds, bitching about things that don't even matter, 'whoops this away mission has become unexpectedly sexy.' Whatever! Make it dark, make it fun, make Bones put Spock's fist in his mouth.

I'd prefer no Ponn Farr for this.

The Flash
Cisco Ramon/Earth-2 Harrison Wells (The Flash); Cisco Ramon/Harrison Wells | Eobard Thawne (The Flash); Cisco Ramon/Wally West (The Flash)
Kinks: For Science!; Overstimulation; Superpower Sex; Multiple orgasms; Awkward flirting; First times; Hair Kink; Sex Pollen; Praise Kink; Dubious consent due to identity issues

Cisco is my favorite character on The Flash, and I want to see him get laid.

For Cisco/Wells (Earth-2 or Eowells), I'm very interested in Wells finding himself charmed by Cisco, despite no desire to get attached. Trying to seduce him, badly or well, or realizing that Cisco's been trying to seduce them for a while. Praising Cisco. For Eowells, dark uncercurrents are more than welcome.

For Cisco/Wally I am into ridiculous hyperactive superpower sex. Finding out all the cool things superspeed and vibing can do. Testing stamina. Late night engineering projects turn into crushes turn into banging in the lab.

Sex pollen/a meta with sex pollenesque powers welcome for any pairing here.

Haven
Duke Crocker/Audrey Parker/Nathan Wuornos (Haven)
Kinks: Overstimulation; Facesitting; Sensation Play; Something Made Them Do It; Banter while in bed; First Time; Awkward Flirting, Pining

One of my biggest OT3s, and I'm still pissed about the ending, so anything that changes or flat-out ignores it would be great. Can take place in a canon-divergent future or during the course of the show. I'd love it if you can somehow work in the fact that Nathan has zero game.

I'd love to see something about the three of them getting their act together, realizing that they care for the other two, and trying to feel the other two out about a threeway relationship. Audrey/Nathan was obviously canon, so if you want to write them as an established couple looking to bring in Duke, that's fine, or if you want to set it before they got together or something different, that's also fine.

A Trouble making them do it, whether due to proximity or because they all have feelings for each other, would also be great. With proximity, there's lots of room for angst about taking advantage or 'it was just because we were close, they don't actually want me.' Can also be good if the Trouble allows Nathan to feel again, and finds it overwhelming, but if you want to write a threesome where he can only feel Audrey and make Duke feel some kinda way about it, that would also be interesting.

Established or first time sex where Nathan can feel and Duke and Audrey utterly wreck him, while at the same time making absolutely sure to get themselves/each other off until they're all exhausted, would also be great.

DC Comics
Michael Carter/Ted Kord (DCU Comics)
Kinks: Laughter during sex; Body worship; Lap sex; Intercrural; Awkward Flirting; Pining; First Time; Sex pollen; Exhibitionism; Fake/Pretend Relationships

Booster/Beetle is one of my longest-lived OTPs. They have goofy senses of humor and care about each other deeply, even if they don't always get on. Ted has the worst fashion sense known to mankind and is kind of neurotic. Booster loves money and attention and may or may not have married a woman three times his age for her money.

For this, I'm not going to lie, I am incredibly easy to please. The two of them back in the JLI days dancing around each other and then finally having ridiculous sex! Years of pining, finally culminating in them getting together! A friends with benefits situation leading to something more romantic! Time travel shenanigans! Sex pollen causing angst and/or feelings resolution! Make up sex after one of their many fights! 'For whatever completely ridiculous reason, we must pretend to be a couple!'

I love 'oh no he's hot' moments, on both sides. I love terrible innuendo that may or may not fly over the other's head. I love Booster completely making shit up about the future. If you have a cheesy or cliche idea, I am into it.

Gladiator- Dami Im (Music Video)
Princess/White Warrior (Gladiator - Dani Im)
Kinks: Cunnilingus; Bathing/Washing; Body Worship; Sex after Fighting/Battle; Sex for Warmth; First Time; Experienced/Inexperienced

I love this music video. It's a fun song and the costumes are great and it's a neat little story. Now that the medallion has been made whole again, what happens now?

I'd be interested in first times- especially if the princess, locked in her prison, doesn't really know what to do, and so the Warrior has to show her. Or, conversely, the princess knowing exactly what to do, because being locked in a room for so long means that she's had plenty of time to explore while the Warrior has been learning how to fight.

I love the gentle intimacy of bathing together or washing each other. If they're still fighting, because just rejoining the medallion wasn't enough, does the princess learn how to fight, leading to sexually charged lessons? Does the rush after a battle lead to sex? While they travel to...wherever, does it get cold, leading to them sharing a bedroll/blanket and then having sex? After all, a warrior can't be losing her fingers to frostbite, and the crotch is one of the warmest places to put your hands.

Seeing as how the Princess and the Warrior are both played by Dami Im, if you want to make something of them looking alike, I am all for it, so long as it doesn't edge into incest territory. Narcissism, weird fate magic, etc, all good though.

If you want to add a layer of fealty/loyalty to the mix, I would be 100% down with that.
