Fourth Rare Ship Swap Letter

Dear Author,

If you have even wandered over here after the epic prompts list I filled out, you are a brave soul. I tried to include everything you might need in the prompts, but I have a habit of posting a letter anyway.

If you need any help knowing if I'll like something, I recommend asking in_the_blue. If it's in character and doesn't hit one of my squicks, I guarantee I'll like it.

In general, I like almost everything, but please no horror, tragedy, deathfic, porn without plot (with plot, no prob), most dirty talk (it's the vocabulary not the subject matter), embarrassment, body-related humor, oral sex (though for some reason, I make an exception for Bobbi/Clint), bodily fluids, graphic violence, gore, vivid descriptions of medical procedures or bodies, bashing of any kind, infidelity/cheating/betrayal, or alternate gender norms. I also have no problem with assassination but do have a problem with murder. I know. Fine line.

I do like gen, asexual romance, family, chosen family, identity issues, brainwashing/mental triggers/amnesia, soulmates/soulbonds/soulmarks, developing relationship, slow build, established relationship, warm fuzzies, domestic, mission fic, competence (oh, I love me some competence), and intimacy.

Whatever you write, I'm sure I'll love it. Thank you!

Universe, O Universe, O Write Me a Fic

From the lovely geckoholic:

You know that meme that goes around sometimes where you post your five favorite kinks and then five favorite couples, and it's like a wish into the universe to see if anybody will write it for you? Let's make it a little more interactive.

Comment here if you want to play, and I will give you 3-6 couples that I associate with you, and you make an entry in your journal talking about those couples and fics that you wish the universe would write for you.

So she gave me Clint/Nat, Tris/Four, Rogue/Remy with a bonus of Clint/Kate. The fics I wish the universe would write. Oh, boy.

Clint/Natasha

Starting here, there are two fics I'm still hoping the universe will write for me.

In one of these fics, Natasha is a siren but doesn't realize it or experience particular repercussions until her calling out for her boyfriend Bucky to run/get out of the way/whatever here results in the opposite and he's in an accident and loses his arm. She tells their friend Steve to say goodbye for her and leaves town. She trains herself to silence, completely, even the reflexes relating to pain or being startled and starts over somewhere where she meets Clint who teaches her sign language and is deaf so, as it turns out, can be immune with his hearing aids out. But when she realizes she's going to go there with him, she also practices being totally silent during sex, so she is always silent. She doesn't use her voice, even though technically she totally could and could totally control whoever she wanted that way. Pretty specific, but it's not a story I feel up to writing or think I'd do justice to and I'd be happy for it to flex from those details so long as it had the concept. As far as that goes, I wouldn't mind siren!Natasha and handler deaf!Clint.

In the other fic, it's a school AU, and Natasha gets boyfriends around New Year's, then keeps them until the day after Valentine's Day so she can get a gift. Only her parents find out and tell her she has to keep them for at least a month after that, and she keeps Clint for at least a month after that and ends up with him permanently.

Tris/Four

Someone wrote the one I'd been hankering for initially, so let's go with the slightly canon-divergent AU where she survives, but it's rough and there's therapy and the two of them end up being a big part of the city rebuilding and there is awesomesauce competence and disabled Tris and they love each other anyway and there's disabled sex and great friendships on the side and, and, and.

Rogue/Remy

Valle Soleada. They never destroy the good thing they got, they stay together, they figure it out. I don't care if they do it with or without the X-Men, but this right here. No breakup after Valle Soleada. Or you know the awesome Amalgam/Witness fic where neither die and both are fully powered and they take on the world kind of thing.

Clint/Kate

I haven't gotten my grip on them yet, though I'm starting to. (Something about having avoided 616 Avengers comics for a long, long, long, long [you get the idea] time.)

For them, I'd like to read him coming after her and pursuing her, I think. She does a lot of the sticking around and he does a lot of the running (thus, "this running away thing is everything that sucks about you"), and I'd like to see him decide not to run, whatever compels him to make that change, even if it's some other friend or ex giving him the kick in the pants to do it. Plus, Lucky. Must have Lucky.

Beyond Panels Letter

Dear Beyond Panels Writer:

First let me say, you are awesome. Whichever fandom, whichever character or pairing we share in common, thank you for the fic or art! I myself cannot draw so am super impressed with those who can.

So a good chunk of my general please writes and don't writes and what gets me every time can be found in my now overly numerous ficathon/exchange letters. On AO3, I have personal bookmarks and a lot of fic. For my Rogue/Remy tastes, I recommend you to my FF.net profile.

General Likes: characterization, more of what's in canon (with exceptions), worldbuilding, characterization, chosen family, deep friendships, established relationships, developing relationships, mindscape, identity issues, amnesia, brainwashing, mental triggers, backstory, compentence, brothers, family fic, and did I mention deep platonic relationships? I also love romance with intimacy and characterization, asexual romance, and ensemble fic.

General Dislikes: porn without plot, embarrassment, body-related humor, bodily fluids, gore, graphic violence, profanity, bashing (be it character, ideology, people group, or anything else), alternate gender norms (e.g. a/b/o), real-life political or controversial issues, didactic fiction, inequal relationships, deathfic, tragedy, infidelity/cheating, or betrayal that does not get fixed. Also, I'd rather not have aromantic fic, though gen is fine.

Tropes and Themes: love soulmates/soulmarks/soulbonds, domestic fic, fluff, meta, poetry, angst, secret relationship, accidental relationship, fake relationship, friends to lovers, rivals to lovers, mistletoe kiss, sharing a bed, lots of coffee and cooking and baking and tea, telepathy mindmeld, time travel (with consequences), hurt/comfort, holidayfic, snowed in, and a few others.

Crossovers between requested 616 fandoms welcome.
