Battleship Letter

[learnedfoot]

ETA: For the purposes of treats, I am opting into anything I have requested in exchanges. I have tried to make a list with a link to at least one letter at the end.

ETA 2: For the purposes of the witch challenge, I am opting in to a lot of tags, but not all of them, and not all for all fandoms. You can see my list here.

Dear Battleship Creator,

Hello! You’ve matched (or, if you’re a pinch hitter, chosen) on one of these fandoms and character(s)/ship(s), which already means you love something I love. Excellent! I am very excited to see what you come up with!

To start, I’m doing this letter a little differently and more low-key than most, both to preserve my own sanity (I’m requesting a lot of different things!) and to double emphasize that this exchange is really meant to be loose and fun—I would’ve tried to keep it to the signup box, but I do already have this nice general likes list, and I know letters are easier to bookmark.

I’ve mostly not included prompts, just some thoughts on the characters/ships I like which, combined with the freeforms, will hopefully be inspiring! I’ve linked to past letters for requests where I have them in case you want more specific prompts, but in no way EXPECT you to check those out. (And if I don’t have past letters for a specific ship or fandom, don’t take that as a lack of interest! I’m super excited about everything I’m requesting).

Here’s what this letter contains. All requests are for both fic and art. I also requested vids for a fair number of them. I haven’t requested podfic because, quite honestly, I’m not even sure how to go about requesting that in a useful way and don’t have the brain space to figure it out. BUT! If something here inspires you, I’m very happy to receive podfic treats. I am also happy to recieve vid treats for my x-over fandoms, I just wasn't really sure what I would want there, but if you have an idea, I'm sure I will love it!

Big Picture Points

I am LearnedFoot on AO3.

Characters are the most important thing for me in fic. I certainly appreciate a good plot, but seeing more of the characters I love is my number one priority.

I’m fairly open on tone and genre — fluff, angst, and basically everything in-between is good by me.

For requests where I’ve asked for ship fic, I define that broadly — everything from pining/flirting/other pre-relationship up through established relationship can make me happy. If you want to write smut I’ve included information on my likes, but I’d be just as happy with something lower rated.

Likes

General Likes (can apply to ships or gen)

Banter

Being taken off guard by small displays of affection, unexpected tenderness, etc. (platonic or otherwise)

Bonding over shared or similar trauma

Characters having conversations we don’t get to see in canon

Characters realizing what someone else means to them, especially when that realization comes as a surprise

Characters revealing what someone else means to them, especially if they are nervous about it but it turns out the feelings are reciprocated

Characters who keep getting back up no matter how many times they’re down in fights

Complex, long lasting relationships with a rich sense of history

Confessions of feelings (romantic or otherwise) when out of it (drunk, feverish, exhausted, etc.)

Hurt/comfort [if you want ridiculous amounts of specifics on my H/C likes, you can check out my H/C letter]

People who don’t like each other working together

Stoic and/or emotionally closed off character being forced to accept help (emotional or physical)

Strong character voices

Tentative beginnings (romantic or otherwise)

Time travel and time loops

Trapped in an isolated or otherwise dangerous location

Unlikely friendships

Whump

Wounded people slowly opening up

Using (or even just mentioning) the fact that Peter Parker is suuuper strong.

Ship/Romance Likes

Accidental/fake/forced marriage, as long as it fits the world of the canon [for many more thoughts, check out my Just Married letter]

• e.g., magical spell or alien object gone wrong or the like for MCU, wacky shenanigans for Community, but not arranged marriages in a canon where that's not part of the world

Accidental soulbonds (for canons with magic/sci-fi this would fit):

• I like the idea of some combo of: they have a sense of each others’ emotions and/or physical sensations, it hurts or is otherwise uncomfortable to be too far apart, that kind of thing
  
• I’m not so interested in actually being about to read each others’ thoughts
  
• I esp. like the idea of this being super uncommon/caused by some weird sort of spell or sci-fi whatever, so they have no idea what’s going on at first

Dancing together

Fake dating, where the stakes are commensurate with medium-to-high stakes for the canon

• So, for something like the MCU, probably something mission related; for a sitcom, needing a date to a wedding so people will stop asking about your ex is fine

Forced to share a bed, huddle for warmth, hide in a tight space, anything along those lines

Forced proximity of any sort, especially when the characters are trying very hard to ignore/deny/not act on their feelings (go on a mission together, stuck in a snowstorm together, etc.)

Getting high together, getting drunk together, high/drunk confessions of feelings

Jealousy or possessiveness before the characters get together as a sign of one wanting the other

• I don't like characters being super jealous of their partners once they're together, but Character A being upset that Character B is dating other people or not spending enough time with Character A prior to the relationship starting, as a sign A having feelings and handling it poorly? Sign me up

One character wearing the other's clothing (before or after they have gotten together)

UST and mutual pining

Smut Likes: Consensual

Emphasis on what the sex means to the characters/the emotion of the moment

“Come,” not “cum”

Drunk/high sex

Dom/sub dynamics that develop without the characters talking about it (but not negotiated BDSM relationships), and with particular emphasis on:

• the sub getting off on pleasing the dom
• the dom praising the sub (and the sub getting off on that)
• bondage and blindfolds
• hair pulling, scratching, manhandling, and generally rough sex
• choking (on cocks or otherwise)
• Face fucking
• pain, but nothing that would draw more than a little blood or lead to permanent damage (nipple clamps and spanking are great/the level I’m aiming at)

Sex in semi-public/public places

• Generally prefer it without getting caught, but close calls, or trying to hide what's going on while one person fingers the other under a table or the like is great

Tender sex, including:

• Being generally amazed at the other person's everything
  
• hand holding
  
• hand/palm kissing
  
• forehead kisses
  
• neck kissing
  
• thigh kissing
  
• hair stroking
  
• face touching
  
• tender kissing
  
• expressions of affection and love, etc.

Smut Likes: Non-con and Dub-Con

“Soft” dub-con likes (e.g., sex pollen and the like — though feel free to draw from the hard dubcon likes for that too, if you want):

• Mutual pining
  
• Guilt (because they think they are the only one who wants it)
  
• Feelings reveals (during or after)
  
• Oversensitivity, heightened pleasure
  
• Having to go for a long time, or come multiple times, or etc. And if only one side is pollened, that being hard for the non-pollened party
  
• Mix of pleasure and pain (pollen makes them go too hard/fast/long, etc.)
  
• Pollen makes them do it at an inconvenient time or in an inconvenient place (including public)

“Hard” dub-con and non-con likes (e.g., for villain doing them or bad guy made them do it):

• Manipulation and confused emotions on the victim’s part
  
• Victim gets in over their head
  
• Victim is drugged, drunk, or otherwise not all there
  
• Forced pleasure (including multiple orgasms)
  
• Forced to give blow jobs
  
• Rough sex (and at least one of the relevant requested characters can REALLY take it ;) )
  
• Verbal humiliation (calling them a slut/whore, talking up how much they really wanted this, etc.)
  
• Sex that keeps going until victim is too limp and tired to do anything but lie there and take it
  
• Victim crying
  
• Victim feelings shame (about the forced pleasure, about what they’ve agreed to do, etc.)
  
• Use by multiple people
  
• Public sex (esp. if unwanted by victim)

Art Likes
I don’t really know much about how to describe art, and I will pretty much be guaranteed to love whatever you create because I am just amazed at anyone who can make art, but some specific patterns I’ve noticed in things I like:

Colors

• Black and white + one color (esp. red, but really any)
  
• Rich colors, colors that glow
  
• Blue is my single favorite color, generally

Styles

• Some styles I’ve noticed I like: realism, pop, graffiti, cartoon-y
  
• I’m less of a fan of the chibi style for ship art (but I like it for gen that’s leaning into the cute!)
  
• I’ve enjoyed both sketchier line art type things and more solid filled in things (<--I really don’t know how to use art terminology, sorry!)

Content

• Characters building things and doing science, if that’s a thing they do in canon
  
• Emphasis on touch between two characters. E.g:
  
  • carrying
    
  • cuddling
    
  • hand-holding
    
  • hugging
    
  • one arm thrown over the other
    
  • Kissing for ships, whether that be on the mouth or hand/head/face, etc.
• Emphasis on facial expressions
  
• Emphasis on pretty/unusual clothing. For example:
  
  • Doctor Who characters in period costumes.
    
  • The Great characters done up for a fancy event
    
  • Superheroes in costume, or hiding their costume under normal clothing (I love the spider-suit under street clothing, especially)
    
  • For ships: one character wearing the other's clothing, esp. smaller character in bigger character's oversized t-shirt, hoodie, button up, etc.
• Funny/cute/fluffy reactions and scenes, casual domesticity
  
• H/C scenarios and/or characters be whumped
  
  • The whumping part goes double for Peter Parker, Kylo Ren, and Tony Stark
• Incorporation of cute animals/creatures/robots or kids. E.g.:
  
  • Morgan or Tony’s bots thrown into my Peter/Tony request
    
  • BABY YODA can be thrown into literally any of my requests where space travel is part of canon (including the Doctor Who x-overs) and I will be pleased as punch. Also, he can show up at Greendale because logic, what logic? CUTE.
    
  • Any cute alien creatures, canon or otherwise, for canons with aliens
• Incorporation of dialogue (even if it’s just one line)
  
• Locations. Esp:
  
  • Alien planets
    
  • Inside the TARDIS
    
  • The palace for The Great
    
  • New York is my favorite place in the whole world. So for any of the requests involving NYC based characters, using that setting (the skyline, specific locations, the general vibe -- and I don't just mean Manhattan) is loved <3
• Smutty art welcome! Anything from my general smut likes list applies, but if you want specific ideas:
  
  • biting/marks
    
  • clothing being ripped off or pushed aside or general clothed sex/partially clothed/clothing in disarray
    
  • cocks being held
    
  • one hand around a neck (choking or simply resting there, depending on the vibe)
    
  • one character bent over and being fucked
    
  • Semi-public sex (hiding in a coat closet? Under the table? Etc.)
    
  • tender touch
    
  • for Peter/Tony, Iron Man and/or Spider-Man suit kink

Vid Likes
So, I’ve never requested vids before, and I’m not really sure what is helpful. In each of the fandom sections where I requested vids, I’ve tried to include some brief info about the general songs/themes I’m most interested in for those fandoms, plus a few song ideas in case that’s helpful (but please feel free to make your own selection).

Style Likes

• In terms of vid style, I’m open to anything, including things that are more experimental with format or coloring or whatnot
  
• I like vids that incorporate dialogue or sound from the source material (and also ones that don’t! But I know that is not something everyone likes, so I just want to be clear I am opting into it).

Content Likes

• Highlighting shippy moments for ships
  
• Going hard on exploring some a specific theme related to a character/relationship/canon
  
• Paralleling different characters

Music Likes

• I am seriously open to a super wide range (including the cliché “except for-s” of rap and country). I find song selection one of the most interesting parts of vids (and often get introduced to great music that way!), so please, please, please do not feel bound by my suggested songs or artists

DNWs
General DNWs

First or second person

Identity headcanons (trans, race, other) (However, I'm fine with assuming a character’s sexuality is more fluid than canon may let on)

Infidelity, unless okayed in the fandom specific section

Focus on unrequested ships (background mentions is fine unless specifically DNW’d in canon sections)

Hopelessly unhappy endings

• For non-con/dubcon scenarios, or darker situations, I just want there to be at least some sense the characters can get out of it

Kidfic involving non-canon children

Permanent death of the requested characters in fics where they are part of the requested relationship (e.g., I need Tony to be alive at the end of a Peter/Tony fic, but not a Peter & Nebula fic)

Poly or otherwise open relationships once a relationship is established (unless explicitly asked for in the prompts)

• It’s fine for characters to be dating/sleeping around, etc. if they're in a fuckbuddy relationship, or have otherwise started seeing each other but not defined the relationship. I just mean I don’t want the committed relationship, if it exists, to be defined as "poly" or “open” unless explicitly asked for or the DNW is waived.

Pregnancy of the main characters or as a major plot point (mentions of background characters being pregnant, characters gesturing at the possibility of kids in the future, etc. is fine)

For any MCU request or MCU x-over requests, Peter referring to Tony as like a father, or Tony referring to Peter as like a son. (Discussion of their mentor/mentee bond is fine, it's literally just those words I want avoided)

There are also some fandom specific DNWs and DNW exceptions noted in the relevant sections

Sex Related DNWs

Cross-dressing kink

Daddy/mommy kink (in particular, use of the word “daddy” or “mommy”)

Enemas

Extended, on-screen consent negotiations

Feeding, weight gain, inflation, anything in that realm

Formalized BDSM

Insertion of large objects, stretching, sounding

Non-sexual body fluids in sex scenes (with the exception of a few drops of blood from scratching or because they were injured before sex)

Roleplay scenarios

Unrequested non-con

• Non-con requests from any of the other letters I link for inspiration are considered requested.

Unrequested dub-con

• I am fine with drunk!sex, or sex on drugs, as long as the characters are subjectively aware of what they're doing while they are having sex. So, not when one half of the pair is pass-out drunk. But, for example, I am totally fine with two characters getting high together and having sex.
  
• Dub-con requests from any of the other letters I link for inspiration are considered requested.

Completely pleasureless sex for the victim even in a dubcon/noncon scenario (forced orgasm, etc. are great)

If there is non-con or dub-con, unaroused victim. Forced orgasm, being upset at or ashamed of arousal, etc. is all good.

For my age-difference ships where one character is underaged: the older character kinking on the younger one's youthful looks to the point where they are described as childlike. The older person can — and preferable should — find the younger person hot, and, IDK, marveling at their smooth skin or general young person energy is fine. I'm just looking to avoid emphasis on "they look childlike" or "it's hot that they're not fully matured physically" or the like.

AU DNWs
I like canon-divergent AUs where the fic is based in the canon setting but goes in a different direction after a certain installment, or changes the outcome of a certain event, but DNW other AU types. So please:

• No AUs that change the canon setting, era, or rules of the universe (e.g., mundane AUs, addition of fantastical elements in a non-fantastical canon, soul mark worlds, A/B/O, high school setting, different jobs, etc.).
  
  
• No AUs that drastically change the structure of character relationships or fundamentals of their identity (making people related who are not, erasing characters from existence, making major friendships or relationships never have happened unless it’s a result of diverging canon before they get together, gender swap, etc.).

A note about the structure of the fandom-specific sections: Since the freeforms work as prompts on their own and, as I said, I am trying to keep myself sane, I am not doing prompts for this letter, but rather just offering some thoughts and general ideas about the requested fandoms/ships. Feel free to combine with my freeforms however you see fit!

Why I requested It/What I’m Looking For: This is one of my all-time forever fandoms, and it’s back on my mind because of the recent Netflix drop. These pairs are some of my faves, but I also love the whole gang and all the side characters if you want to bring other people in for group shenanigans and adventures. Anything within the general tone of the show—from the sweet to the emotional to the parodies to the just plain wacky—is great!

Thoughts on Specific Pairs:

Abed/&Jeff: I absolutely adore all of the episodes where they connect, especially when they actually manage to be vulnerable with each other, to the extent that either of them are capable of that. The end of the Chicken Fingers episode, for instance, or of course, “My Dinner with Abed.” Anything that explores or expands on that dynamic is A+. Shippy or gen (or shippy gen) is all great! I’d also love to see these two confronted with a typical fic romance trope like having to share a bed or fake dating to see how they’d react. Would Abed get meta about it? Would Jeff get annoyed at Abed getting meta? Playing with that sounds like a ton of fun, whether gen or ship.

Jeff/Annie: The chemistry was off the charts, and I still ship it like burning. I love when these two team up and get really Extra together, like the debate episode and the conspiracy episode. I also adore them just being generally full of UST and think they would combine great with any of my liked romance tropes.

Troy/Abed: One of my all-time OTPs. They just love each other, okay? I love fic that explores how they get together, or the difficulties being together would pose, but in an overall lighthearted way. Or: reconnecting after Troy gets back from his Big Journey. Again, Abed being faced with classic romance tropes and reacting to them would be fun. And would Troy even recognize them?

Troy/Abed/Annie: My all-time OT3! I love them having shenanigans together. I love that Troy and Abed bring out Annie’s playful side. I love the period where they are living together. How does this threesome come to be? How do they fair in the real world outside of Greendale? Again, romance tropes (and their differing reactions, esp. if Annie loves them) would be fun.

Vid song theme ideas: Anything light/fun/upbeat; anything quirky; anything romantic (for the ships).

A few ideas (feel free to use your own!):
• Any of the music from the show (the theme song, the original songs, the background music, etc.)
• “Changes,” David Bowie (Any)
• “The Days,” Avicci (Any)
• “The Final Countdown,” Europe (Any)
• “I Am Not a Robot,” MARINA (Abed related)
• “Oh No!” MARINA (Abed or Jeff related)

A note on timelines: Feel free to diverge from canon at any point you want, or keep it canon compliant.

Request specific DNW Clarification: To clarify my AU DNW in the context of this fandom and some of my requested freeforms (horror, assassination attempts, truth serum, etc)—I still don’t want a full AU where they are actually not Greendale students or where there is like literal magic in Greendale or something. But anything in the vein of the show, where they do “x genre at Greendale, and sometimes that includes stretching real world rules pretty far” is fair game.

Why I requested It/What I’m Looking For: I am just obsessed with this crossover, and it works so well! Do whatever handwaving you need to mash the relevant canons together. For the requests where I don't specify, I really am happy with any New Who Doctor.

Thoughts on Specific Pairs:

The Doctor & Any MCU Character: I always want the Doctor (really, any Nu!Who Doctor!) to hang out with my faves. I always want this. I am obsessed with this concept. Generally, I love the way the Doctor is able to get to the heart of what is going on with a person. I love their kindness, but also that they don’t take shit and will absolutely use tough love. So throw that at any MCU character of your choice, and show me what happens!

The Doctor & Abed Nadir: Abed finds out Inspector Spacetime is basically real! He’s trained for this forever! I just think they would have the most fun adventures, whether it’s Abed getting to experience an alien planet, or the Doctor getting sucked into an adventure at Greendale. I imagine that Abed would take the whole thing pretty much in stride, and the Doctor would be fascinated by this calm kid who somehow isn’t confused by a time-traveling alien showing up.

The Doctor & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren: I love the idea of the Doctor encountering Ben/Kylo at any point of his journey. Does the Doctor sweep him away as a companion before he has a chance to go evil? Fight him at the height of his Supreme Leader days? Save him from the end of TROS? Whatever the case, I think the Doctor would see right through him and any fronts he has up, and cut to the heart of his pain and loneliness.

The Doctor & BoJack: Does meeting the Doctor change BoJack's perspective on anything? Does it help him get his life together? Is the Doctor a Horsin’ Around fan? Is BoJack’s mind blown by space?

The Doctor & Catherine: Oh, you just know Catherine would make an awesome one-episode style companion, whether it’s the Doctor fighting aliens who have invaded the court or Catherine being whisked off in the TARDIS. Feel free to make this shippy with Ten or Thirteen if you want. And it can be flirty with any. (Also down for Jack Harkness/Catherine.)

The Doctor & Eliot Waugh : I love Eliot, and I want him to get to go on adventures. And I think he is exactly the kind of brilliant but hurting person the Doctor loves to pick up. Plus, I would love to see the Doctor react to magic! Feel free to make this shippy with any of the male doctors if you so desire.

Ten/Tony: I feel like these two would rub each other completely the wrong way because they are both so arrogant in their own way. BUT they would both also be reluctantly impressed by each other, and maybe come around to each other (or maybe not, but be attracted anyway). I’m imagining a real Slap Slap Kiss Kiss type dynamic. I’m not really looking for a grand true love here, but an “I hate you but you’re hot” fuck, or a fun fling after they've warmed up to each other, or even kissing mostly for a mission but a little because they want to all sounds great.

Thirteen/Natasha: I love the idea of the Doctor getting through Natasha’s shell, and throwing her off. She’s the woman who can read everyone, and is impossible for other people to read. But maybe she can’t read Thirteen, and Thirteen can read her. Maybe she initially takes Thirteen’s happy façade at face value, and takes a while to realize that there is real darkness there, too. From grand romance through one-time comfort sex, I’m here for whatever.

Thirteen/Nebula: I think Thirteen would be absolutely amazed by and fascinated with Nebula, and find her gorgeous and fantastic. I think Nebula would initially find Thirteen’s cheeriness frustrating and off-putting, but would warm as she realized there is a lot more to this woman than it initially seems. I’d love to see them discover the darkness in each other and find bonding points over that. Or Thirteen helping fix Nebula (physically). From grand romance through one-time comfort sex, I’m here for whatever.

Jack Harkness/Any MCU Character: I love how Jack will flirt with anything that moves, and seems to really delight in getting to know people. Whether you’re putting him with someone who flirts back just as hard, someone who is stoic and unimpressed, or someone who just has no idea how to handle him, I’m excited for any combination! This can either stick to flirting/basically be gen (as much as Jack interacting with anyone, ever, is gen) all the way up through smut.

Jack Harkness/Eliot Waugh: Eliot deserves happiness, damn it. Whether it’s a fun fling or something more, I just want him getting to see the universe or having adventures while having some hot sex, and Jack seems like the perfect person for him to do that with. I do ship Eliot/Quentin, and if you want to have Eliot dealing with Q's death and his feelings about that through this relationship with Jack, I am down. I don’t care so much about his Season 5 relationship with Charlton, feel free to break them up or AU that away.

The Master (Dhawan)/Eliot Waugh: As you can see in my Doctor Who section, I’m just kind of obsessed with this version of the Master. I’d love a sexy, complicated relationship with Eliot. Maybe during The Master’s time stuck on Earth? Maybe he gets curious and wants to find out more about magic?

Why I requested It/What I’m Looking For: I just love the idea of smashing these worlds together and seeing what happens!

Thoughts on Specific Pairs:

MCU Peter Parker & Miles Morales: I think these two would bond and be adorable. I like the idea of Peter, who is still really young himself, suddenly being thrust into the position of being the older and more mature (but, let’s be real, also totally less cool) Spider-person. Beyond Peter simply being older, I think it would also be interesting to explore how he has lost so many people compared to Miles (not that Miles losing his uncle isn’t hard, but compare that to both of Peter’s parents, Uncle Ben, and now Tony...). Also, Peter has been involved in such high stakes, crazy stuff. Bitch, he’s been to space! (And also died.) How does Miles react to that?

But you definitely don’t have to get into that heavy stuff! Cute bonding, fun adventures, etc. is also wonderful. Maybe Miles teaching Peter how to tag, or Peter giving Miles a tour of Tony’s hi-tech lab?

MCU Peter Parker & Peter B. Peter: How would adorable, enthusiastic MCU Peter react to this older, jaded version of himself, and vica-versa? What wisdom does Peter B. have for Peter? Can he help him deal with his grief over Ben or Tony or having died and come back? After all, Peter B. is no stranger to loss. On the other hand, is he overwhelmed by the idea that Peter has gone through so much? Do they team up together for a fight? Does MCU Peter remind Peter B. of his old enthusiasm? What does he think of MCU's very different MJ?

MCU Peter Parker & Miles Morales & Peter B. Peter: Take my ideas for either of these separately and smash them together. Does Peter B. end up mentoring both of them? Do he and Peter end up with a kind of co-mentoring relationship to Miles? What kind of adventures to they get up to? Other spider-people (esp. Gwen) can come, too!

MCU Tony Stark & Peter B. Peter: I just generally want to see Peter B. interact with Tony. How does Tony react to him? Does it make him determined to make sure MCU Peter never ends up like him? Does he get possessive or protective because this is still A Peter? Does Peter have a Tony in his world? Were they ever close? Is the Tony in his world even Iron Man?

MCU Tony Stark & MCU Peter Parker & Peter B. Peter: I’d love to see all three of these guys interacting. Anything that combines my separate ideas for Peter + Peter B. and Tony + Peter B. works. Miles can come too if you want!

MCU Tony Stark/Peter Parker & Peter B. Peter: For the Peter/Tony version: My thought here is that Peter B. would totally realize MCU Peter has a crush on Tony like, immediately, because they’re kind of the same person, so he knows the signs. From there, I could see it going all different ways. Is he like, “yeah, get it kid, I’ma help make this happen?” Is he like “dear god this is a disaster, danger, danger”? Does he try to vet Tony to make a decision?

Erik Killmonger (MCU) &/ Aaron Davis (ITSV) : I don’t even know where I want this to go, I just saw it suggested and fell in love. These are both such interesting, compelling, sympathetic villains. For this one, it’s okay with me if you just kind of smash the two worlds together and pretend they take place in one, if you want. Was Aaron ever in the military, maybe? Or do they cross paths while Erik is getting some sort of super-tech from Kingpin? Alternatively, you can keep them separate universes. Maybe Killmonger gets sucked into ITSV world or vica-versa due to some experiment?

Why I requested It/What I’m Looking For: As you can tell, I am currently super obsessed with Dhawan!Master. His anger, his self-destructive tendencies (it is SO interesting to see The Master with what appears to be an actual death wish), his barely contained manic energy, his extra-intense fixation on and anger at the Doctor. Really, anything about him is going to make me happy.

Thoughts on Specific Pairs:

Dhawan!Master & Any Companion: I really do mean any New Who companion(s)! (Wilf and/or Mickey also work. And River, though she’s not really a companion, exactly). Whether they meet while the companion is with the Doctor, after, or even before, with the Master being weird and creepy-stalkery, it’s all good. Maybe they meet while the Master is stuck on Earth, or when he was pretending to be O? Maybe they meet in the stars. Is the Master jealous? Possessive of the Doctor? Curious about why THIS person was chosen? How does the companion react to him?

Dhawan!Master & The Doctor's TARDIS: Whether the TARDIS is in human or TARDIS form. Does he steal her? Does she protect the Doctor? Wherever you want to go with this, I just think it sounds like a really fun combo.

Dhawan!Master & Missy (Doctor Who 2005) and/or & Simm!Master; Dhawan!Master/Missy: Any combo of Masters being Mastery together. Do they team up? Rub each other the wrong way? For Master/Missy, if you want to get into the smut I’m thinking it might have some femdom vibes if that’s something you’re down for.

Dhawan!Master/Jack Harkness: Does the Master sleep with Jack out of jealousy? Does Jack flirt with the Master not knowing who he is? Hate!sex? IDK, but I am really into this concept and want to see what you come up with. (I also count Jack as a companion, so totally up for gen here as well.)

Dhawan!Master/Thirteen: I am so so into this ship right now, I can't even tell you. They have such good chemistry. There’s so much history, and love as well as hate. I love that the Master can bring out both the best and worst in the Doctor: the Doctor’s belief in the Master and his possible redemption is great, but the Doctor can also be particularly nasty to the Master. Anything that explores how complicated and messy and maybe unhealthy and/or maybe redemptive their relationship is would be great.

Dhawan!Master/Any Doctor: This can also be more gen if you want, though I would like there to be at least some sense of UST or romantic feelings (even if they are totally obsessive and unhealthy). I have less specific thoughts for this than with Thirteen in particular, but I’d love to see your take on how this Master would interact with other New Who Doctors, Ruth!Doctor included.

Vid song theme ideas: Anger; mistrust; obsession; longing to be someone different; old wounds; ambition/ruthlessness; unbalanced.

A note on timelines: Feel free to diverge wherever you see fit. If you hate the development at the end of the most recent season, you can ignore or retcon or give the Master a different reason to be so angry. But I personally don’t mind it, so feel free to play with it if you want!

• Secret Relationship [esp/ for Peter/Tony]
• Truth Serum
• Undercover

Why I requested It/What I’m Looking For: The MCU is my main fandom, and these are all pairs I love.

Thoughts on Specific Pairs:

Nebula/Any Female Character: My poor, broken, fierce Nebula. I love her so. I love her moral struggles, and her struggles with opening up, and the way she gets better at it over time (her scenes with Tony on the ship in Endgame slay me). I just love her and want to see her character explored more. Put her with any woman who interests you, and see what happens!

2014!Gamora/2023!Nebula: I was intrigued by Gamora/Nebula before Endgame, but this particular spin on it pushed me over the edge into full-blown shipping. There is so much interesting here. Nebula, who now has five years of doing good under her belt, but maybe still isn’t totally used to thinking of herself a good person dealing with a version of Gamora who just broke free of Thanos and hasn’t yet gone through all the development we saw in the GOTG movies. Nebula having to reestablish the sisterly relationship she had only just started to build with the Gamora she knew. Nebula, maybe having mixed feelings about this new/old version, loving her but also missing the version who died. Gamora, who always thought of Nebula as the one she needed to help, suddenly needing Nebula’s help to adjust to life free of Thanos. There is just so much to explore.

2014!Nebula/2023!Nebula: Kind of the same idea as the Gamora/Nebula request, except with Nebula having to face her own self, and figure out how to deal with who she was/who she became. Alternatively, I am down for a darker, more dub-con/non-con version, esp. when 2014!Nebua has 2023!Nebula trapped on the ship.

Nebula/Natasha Romanov: Badass, closed-off women who have horrific childhoods and have committed atrocities and are various stages of trying to be better/redeem their past actions — what’s not to love? I really like the idea of these two slowly feeling each other out, and discovering they may have found a kindred spirit, a source of comfort, etc. Maybe during the Endgame five years? Or maybe Nebula rescues both Nat and Gamora from the Soul Stone and then Nebula and Nat bond?

Vid song theme ideas for Nebula ships: Learning to love oneself; Nebula’s body or dark history; empowerment. A couple of ideas:

A few ideas (feel free to use your own!):
• “Come Rest Your Head,” The Sweeplings
• “Girl on Fire,” Alicia Keys
• “Holding Out for a Hero,” Bonnie Tyler (Any)
• “I Am Not a Robot,” MARINA
• “My Body is a Cage,” Peter Gabriel

Peter Parker/Tony Stark: My MCU OTP <3 I really like to see this ship portrayed with: a) a strong sense of mutual affection, where they are both incredibly important to each other; b) a strong sense of mutual compatibility despite the age difference (I like them bonding over science and superheroing and the loses they've both suffered and how hard it is for other people to understand them); and most importantly, c) a strong sense that their relationship is ultimately a real positive for both of them. I really do not want any flavor of Tony manipulating Peter or Peter feeling used or put in a bad position by Tony — other characters can think that’s what’s going on, Tony can be really self-conscious and worried about making sure that’s not what’s happening, but I ultimately I want their internal dynamic to be a good one. From angst to fluff, I love it all!

Peter Parker/Tony Stark & Morgan Stark: All the above, but add Morgan! Some things I love: Peter dealing with having to be responsible for her unexpectedly (like: he has to pick her up from school because Tony and Pepper are suddenly both dealing with crises); Spider-Man being her fave superhero; Tony or Peter melting seeing the other interact with Morgan; cute, kid-logic matchmaking.

Vid song theme ideas for Peter/Tony: UST; giving into temptation; hero worship; admiration; overcoming problems together; being super in love <3

A few ideas (feel free to use your own!):
• “Holding Out for a Hero,” Bonnie Tyler
• “Rock and Roll Suicide,” David Bowie
• “The Days,” Avicci
• “Weak,” AJR

2012!Tony Stark/2023!Tony Stark: Okay, this is just plain fun. I don’t have a ton of ideas beyond “I love Tony, I love Tony dealing with Tony.” I just want to see whatever you want to do with this! I’m also down for other iterations of Tony/Tony if you can make it work (esp. pre-Iron Man Tony/any post-Iron Man Tony).

Vid song theme ideas: any of my Tony gen songs, or anything fun and upbeat and being cocky/sexy.

A few ideas (feel free to use your own!):
• ”SexyBack,” Justin Timberlake
• ”ME!” Taylor Swift
• ”Work It,” Missy Elliot

Why I requested It/What I’m Looking For: I love bad things happening to characters I love.

Thoughts on Specific Pairs:

Obadiah Stane/Tony Stark: I’m really interested in manipulative dubcon here, though it does not at all have to be E rated. If it IS E rated, I’m not too worried about the thin line between dubcon and noncon, especially when it comes to taking advantage of Tony being drugged, or disregarding limits in a situation that starts out consensual. Any dynamic where Obie manipulates a young and/or vulnerable Tony into thinking he wants more than he does, or where Tony gets in over his head but won’t admit it to himself, or doesn’t know how to get it to stop is great. Tony is in denial about the fact that the relationship isn’t 100% consensual, even though part of him knows it feels wrong; he wants to end it but is scared to say no because he doesn’t want to lose another important adult figure in his life; limits are disregarded, the sex/realtionship leaves him feeling empty and used, etc. but he blames himself for that, there must be something wrong with him if he can’t enjoy it—anything along those lines.

Quentin Beck/Peter Parker: I am down for everything from dub con of the “ill-advised but something Peter thinks he wants in the moment because Beck is playing him so well” variety up through “straight-up rape.” It should come as no surprise that I openly welcome a scenario where Peter had non-platonic feelings about Tony and Beck uses that somehow, be that subtly playing on their similarities up through using illusion tech to impersonate him, with or without Peter’s knowledge. But if P/T isn’t your thing, I’m also down for a version that doesn’t focus on that. I would prefer Tony to have some presence inasmuch as I think it’s clear in FFH that part of how Beck is able to play Peter so well is his grief over Tony and playing up their similarities, but I totally down for it to remain in the background, platonic, etc. a la FFH itself.

Peter Parker/Bad Guys: Hurt the poor boy in a sexy way. That’s all I want. Feel free to make up whatever OCs you want. Also welcome: Superior Iron Man, whether closely connected to the comics version or not.

Peter/Tony & Bad Guys: I’m imagining a made-them-do-it scenario here, and am happy for you to use whatever bad guy(s)you want, including Beck, Obie, the Grandmaster, SIM, OCs—whatever works. In general, I am happy to see the sex getting really rough and uncomfortable if you want (see my general likes on this!), but I want Peter and Tony to be attracted to each other, and doing their best to protect the other in this awful situation. (They don’t have to be very EFFECTIVE at protecting each other, though…). Feel free for the bad guys to get involved if you want. If you don’t want to do made-them-do-it, kidnapping + whump is also super great!

Vid song theme ideas: Manipulation; knowing you shouldn’t do something but doing it anyway; power play; darkness; etc.

A few ideas (feel free to use your own!):
• “bad guy,” Billie Ellish
• ”Every Step You Take,” The Police
• “Evil Angel,” Rufus Wainwright
• “Gingerbread Man,” Melania Martinez
• “Hands Clean,” Alanis Morissette
• “My Mistake,” Gabrielle Aplin

Request specific DNW clarification: Obviously, I do not think forced dub-con/non-con violates the infidelity DNW even if the x-conned party is in a relationship. Also, that DNW is waived for Obie/Tony.

Why I requested It/What I’m Looking For: The MCU is my main fandom, these are my faves, I just want to see them with anyone <3

Thoughts on Specific Pairs:

Dum-E & Tony Stark: I love Tony and his first creation. From Dum-E’s creation up through Dum-E somehow being the one to save Tony, I’m here for anything with these two.

Tony Stark's Bots & Any, Dum-E (solo): I love the bots! I love other characters. Whatever you are inspired to do, I want. Or: Dum-E's POV on things?

Morgan Stark & Any: MORGAN IS ADORABLE. That’s it. Pair her with whoever. I want to see it.

Nebula & Any: To repeat myself from the ship section: My poor, broken, fierce Nebula. I love her so. I love her moral struggles, and her struggles with opening up, and the way she gets better at it over time (her scenes with Tony on the ship in Endgame slay me). I just love her and want to see her character explored more. Put who with literally anyone, I will be thrilled.

Nebula & Morgan Stark & Tony Stark: Nebula and Tony’s friendship is one of my favorite things to come out of Endgame, and I’d love to see her be Aunt Nebula to Morgan.

Peter Parker & Any: Peter is just so fucking endearing to me. I love how hard he tries to do good, I love that he has some bite, I love how whumpable he is. He is my gen LBD for this fandom. I want him to interact with everyone. I love all the relationships he already has in canon, and I want to see how heroes he hasn’t met (including the Defenders!) react to him.

Peter Parker & Bucky Barnes & Morgan Stark: I love the idea of Peter and Bucky having to team up to rescue Morgan. Maybe Bucky has taken it upon himself to become something of Morgan’s protector as a way to atone for what he did to Tony’s parents (which, to be clear, I don’t blame him for, but I took the way he looked extra sad at the funeral as a sign that he still has residual guilt there)? Or maybe he helps Peter deal with the FFH fallout?

Peter Parker & Bucky Barnes & Sam Wilson: Post-Endgame, there’s lots of juicy stuff to explore with Tony’s death and Steve’s leaving and these three (or just Peter & Bucky or Peter & Sam) trying to figure out what the new world looks like without their old leaders and friends. Dealing with Tony’s death and/or Steve leaving? Working together as the new Avengers? Sam and Bucky looking out for Peter or helping him post the FFH identity reveal? They all go rescue Morgan? Does Sam troll Peter relentlessly? Do they team up to troll Bucky? (Feel free to make this Sam/Bucky if you want.)

Peter Parker & The People of New York: I’m just such a sucker for the “people of New York rally around Spider-Man” trope, so feel free to do anything you want with it, I will adore it. The times the city has rallied around their hero to help him during/after a fight, or ways they’ve thanked him—anything along those lines. Or the reaction to the FFH identity reveal!

Rocket & Any: He’s so hurt and snarky and slow to open up, but he cares so fiercely for his friends. I want to see him snarking or stealing things or actually getting close to other characters—all of it sounds good.

Tony Stark & Any: My first ever MCU love. I love his snark and his brilliance and his vulnerability and how fiercely he cares for the people he cares for. Put Tony with any other character and I will be happy. I just love him and miss him.

Vid song theme ideas: Manipulation; knowing you shouldn’t do something but doing it anyway; power play; darkness; etc.

I have too many requests here to break them all down, but just anything you think matches the character. Some ideas for my most requested characters: Body stuff or redemption for Nebula and Rocket; songs about childhood and growing up for Morgan; growing up, responsibility, New York for Peter; angst or cockiness or needing to be a hero or science for Tony; anything robot related for Dum-E.

For any/all: space exploration; fighting, battles, general heroics; fun lighthearted moments.

Please note that for the characters where I said “& Any,” I am also happy for vids that are general character studies, rather than focused on them and someone else in particular.

Why I requested It/What I’m Looking For: I just watched this movie and hot damn, is the Tom Holland in a robe + intense loyalty kink aesthetic highly Relevant to My Interests. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since I saw the movie. I’ve started trawling through AO3, but I am still desperate for more content for these two. From UST through smut, I want it all.

Some Further Musing on the Ship/Prompts: I just love, love, love how devoted to each other these two are. The protectiveness! The Mute’s gentleness with Diarmuid! The way Diarmuid immediately forgives him when the Mute attacks him! Also…size difference kink isn’t normally a thing I care about but, um. It is good here.

I’d be interested in seeing things set pre-canon: Why and how did they become so devoted to each other? Happy for this to be more pre-ship, or maybe to involve a bunch of fantasizing. Or…maybe they have already explored the physical side of things or expressed love in some way?

Also, mid- or post-canon fix-it! How? I don’t care. Some ideas: The Mute survives because Reasons. AU where they get away on the boat before the Mute gets off, and they continue their pilgrimage. AU where they decide to ditch the pilgrimage sometime before the boat incident? Why and how would that end up happening? Maybe one or both are more injured in the initial attack and the other stays behind to help…?

Also, totally optional, but for this fandom, I’m open to the idea of weaving in bit more myth, magic, religion-being-real than the canon itself confirms. The Mute is actually a fallen angel in a literal sense? Here for it. Faerie magic is real and they find themselves in a faerie realm or sex-pollened by their magic? Please!

For something-made-them-do-it, also happy to have bad-guys (whether the ones from the movie or others) making them do it. Bad guy threatens to kill Diarmuid if they don’t fuck? Could also be bad guys doing Diarmuid in front of the Mute/Mute rescuing Diarmuid from rapey bad guys.

Vid song theme ideas: Pining; loyalty; wanting something you think you can’t have; religious themes; battles; PTSD. For vids, it’s okay to lean into the sad ending of the movie if you so desire.
• “Ask the Angels,” Patti Smith
• “Breathe Me,” Sia
• “Come Rest Your Head,” The Sweeplings
• “Hallelujah” (I have a special affection for the Jeff Buckley version, but love all versions)
• “Hurt,” Johnny Cash
• “Ring of Fire,” Lera Lynn
• “Strange Birds,” Birdy
• “Starlight,” Muse
• “Twist in my Sobriety,” Tanita Tikaram

A note on timelines: AU or canon compliant are both fine.

Request specific DNW clarifications: Obviously I am open to layering more fantastical elements on top of the world as presented in canon, so that part of my AU DNW is waived if you want to go that route.

Re: my unhappy ending DNW: if you deal with the end of canon, I prefer you fix it somehow, but if you want to do pre- or during-canon fic you don’t have to, like, explain that canon ends differently or anything like that. I’m generally happy to headcanon that somehow the Mute magically survives, so as long as your fic does not directly contradict that possibility I’m happy.

Why I requested It/What I’m Looking For: I completely fell in love with this show recently. I am here for the ahistorical fun and the messy as hell characters and relationships. Feel free to lean into the show’s dark humor, the scheming, the skewed power dynamics, the discussions of religion and philosophy that double as veiled (and not so veiled) threats and conversations about power. I’m not looking for heavy angst, but this show is not afraid show the seedy (and yet darkley hilarious) underbelly of Peter’s court as it envisions it, and you don’t have to be either.

Definitely feel free to combine these prompts/pairs, even where the ships might be in “conflict.” Like, want to combine Archie & Catherine with Archie & Marial and/or Mariel & Catherine? Please do! Peter/Catherine and Georgina/Grigor/Peter? Go for it. I love this entire mess of a cast and all the complicated ways they relate to each other, and it’s not like a damn one of them is faithful, anyway.

Thoughts on Specific Pairs:

Archie & Catherine: I love these two’s rivalry, and am also intrigued by the idea of what could cause them to work together—and whether they’d be able to play nice for long. Clashes big and ideological and small and petty (or both at the same time) both welcome.

Archie & Marial: I am fascinated by this relationship. Their loyalty to each other is notable. I’d love to know more about their background from when Marial was younger, or how they interacted before she was demoted, or what happens after the coup. Does Archie join Catherine’s side? If not, how does that impact his relationship with Marial? If you want to take this in a shippy direction, I’m down for that, too (or something in-between, with nothing quite spoken or done but there being SOMETHING there).

Catherine & Marial: I just adore this friendship. Marial’s support of Catherine, but also the fact that she’s not afraid to call her out, and has her own goals and ideas and will go against her. Anything with their friendship, their scheming, or maybe a falling out. If you want to focus on schemes, feel free to have Orlo come along, too. Also, fine to have this be somewhat shippy—I’m most interested in their scheming and friendship, but that could have a sexual element, too.

Catherine/Peter: I don’t ship these two as in want them to have a happy ending or think they are actually good for each other (Catherine deserves so much better), but I do find them utterly fascinating. I’m most interested in the moments where they actually manage to get along, and the small glimpses of humanity we (and Catherine) get in Peter. Small moments of surprising shared intimacy, amusement, even sexual pleasure are great. Catherine using those moments to manipulate Peter is great. I’d love to see more missing scenes from those periods in canon. Or maybe an AU where the smallpox thing doesn’t happen, and she spends longer trying to mold him into the man she wants to be. Or maybe post-coup she forces him to resign and keeps him as a (well-kept) prisoner so he can’t cause trouble, or goes to visit him wherever he “retires” so as to check up on him…

Leo/Peter: I’m envisioning a whole range of things here, from complicated but basically consensual to full on non-con. Maybe Peter decides to take Leo for a test run before he gifts him to Catherine, just to be sure (other members of the court who were there for the dick reveal can come too if you want!). Peter and Leo were both jealous of each other at points; maybe they get drunk and decide they want to see what exactly Catherine might see in the other one. Or maybe they hook up to see if they can force themselves to get along for her sake. Peter was really jealous, and maybe he takes that out on Leo in ways that are highly dub-con (including purposefully plying with drinks, implied death threats) or straight-up non-con.

Catherine/Leo/Peter: Kind of take any of the above and smush them together. I’m thinking that this could work especially as an AU where Peter, after he falls for Catherine and in an attempt to deal with his jealousy and win her heart, decides that obviously the answer is a threesome. Catherine and Leo agree either completely reluctantly due to pressure, or more actively because Catherine sees it as an opportunity to either shape Peter or lure him into a false sense of security. And maybe the sex is surprisingly good even as Leo and Catherine dislike Peter. Maybe Peter and Leo get all competitive about it?

Georgina/Grigor/Peter: I just find this relationship in all its complexity glorious. George's love for Grigor and lust for Peter. Grigor’s utter devotion to his wife, and his simultaneous love for and deep resentment of Peter. Peter’s obliviousness to the fact that this is anything other than straightforward fun. I am also happy for a fic focused on any single pair within the threesome (George/Grigor, George/Peter, Grigor/&Peter), as long as the shadow of their complicated canon relationship hangs over the whole thing. How did it begin? Who started it? Was Grigor always resentful, or did that grow over time? Is any of his jealousy because he also has feelings for Peter?

Note: Technically in canon I guess you'd actually say this is Grigor/George + Peter/George + Grigor & Peter. I'm obviously happy for the Grigor + Peter branch to be explicitly /, but sticking to the canon dynamic is also great! This just felt like the cleanest way to nom it.

Grigor/Peter: I included this separately because I also want to open the door to pre-Georgina Grigor/Peter. Like, did they perhaps hook up as teens/young adults? It’s all just for fun, but maybe for one or both it was a little more, not that they could ever admit it…

Some other pairs I like that could also be included alongside any of the above: Catherine &/ Georgina; Catherine &/ Orlo; Catherine & Elizabeth; Elizabeth &/ Marial; Orlo & Peter; Peter & Archie; Peter’s court in general (esp. as they try to figure out how to deal with things changing).

Vid song ideas: I really love the use of anarchistic music in the show itself, so please, feel free to grab anything from the show. Anything about fun/partying/decadence; anything about scheming; anything about twisted; painful relationships; anything about girl power.

A few ideas (feel free to use your own!):
• “bad guy,” Billie Ellish (Any)
• “Good as Hell,” Lizzo (Any)
• “Heathens,” Twenty One Pilots (Any, esp. for anything focused on Peter or his court)
• “Lavish,” TT The Artist (Any)
• “Money Good,” Megan Thee Stallion (Any)
• “She’s My Man,” Scissor Sisters (anything with one of the women)
• “Suzerainty,” Polite Fiction (Any, esp. any Team Coup)
• “Tik Tok,” Kesha [or like…all sorts of early party Kesha] (Any)
• “Woman,” Kesha (Any, esp. for gen around any of the women)
• “Killer Queen,” Queen (esp. for anything Catherine- or Georgina-focused)
• “Running Out,” Muse (Any ships)
• “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” Beyoncé (Catherine/Peter; Peter/George/Grigor)
• “Tainted Love,” Soft Cell (Catherine/Peter; Peter/George/Grigor)
• ”I’m Just a Girl,” No Doubt” (esp. for Catherine/Peter)
• “Praying,” Kesha (esp. for Catherine/Peter)
• “So What,” Pink (Catherine/Peter)

A note on timelines: Feel free to diverge wherever you see fit, or stick to canon of course!

Request specific DNWs: Incest.

Request specific DNWs Clarifications: My infidelity DNW is waived, ss is my poly/open relationship DNW. My focus-on-pregnancy DNW is also waived for Catherine’s canonical pregnancy. Obviously that could affect her a lot in any post-canon fic, and feel free to deal with it, esp. re: the political consequences. However, I would prefer there not to be a focus on the physicality of being pregnant (morning sickness, physical difficulty beyond the extent to which being less mobile could affect her plotting, etc.).

In terms of non-con/dub-con, the Leo/Peter request is the only one where I am open to straight non-con (as in, someone clearly saying no and having that ignored). But obviously all of the ships have complicated power dynamics, and I am totally fine for those to be highlighted and leaned into.

• Post-Canon

Why I requested It/What I’m Looking For: I love the snappy dialogue and period aesthetic, and I just really love these characters and relationships and want more.

Thoughts on Specific Pairs:

Lenny/Midge: The UST is off the charts, and I’d be happy with anything that keeps things at canon level of heavy flirting and pining up through finally getting it on. I’m also happy for a wide range of relationships, from one-time fling to complicated FWB to actually giving it a shot. I really love hurt/comfort (esp. with Lenny hurt), pining (esp. with Lenny pining or mutual pining), banter, and all sorts of romance tropes for them.

Vid song theme ideas: Fliration; UST; pining; sex; New York; celebrity.

A few ideas (feel free to use your own!):
• “Bad Things,” Jace Everett
• “How to Forget,” Jason Isbell
• “If I Didn’t Know Better,” Nashville Cast
• “Lavish,” TT The Artist
• “New York, New York,” Frank Sinatra
• “No. 1 Party Anthem,” Arctic Monkeys
• “Oh No!” MARINA
• “Ordianry Idols,” Cold War Kids
• “The Way You Look Tonight,” Frank Sinatra
• “Woman,” Kesha

Lenny/Joel: Rivalry! Hate!sex! Fucking each other while they both pine over Midge! Being forced to work together for some reason (maybe Midge is in trouble? Or maybe somehow Joel gets Lenny to perform at his club?). Finding begrudging respect for each other. All of it sounds fun to me.

Vid song theme ideas: Rivalry; unexpected attraction; hate/hate!sex.

A few ideas (feel free to use your own!):
• “East of Eden,” Zella Day
• “Fuck You,” Lily Allen
• “Friends,” Brick + Mortar
• “Hypnotic,” Zella Day
• “Suffragette City,” David Bowie
• “The Boy Is Mine,” Brandy & Monica

Shy/Reggie: I fell head over heels for this pair in Season 3. Canon closeted gay musical superstar and the childhood best friend turned intensely protective manager: what's not to adore? The loyalty between them is so strong, and I am an absolute sucker for the denying-themselves angst potential. Plus, who doesn’t love a ship who can sing so well while making eyes at each other? I don’t want this to be completely unrequited on either side, but other than that I am open to anything. Longtime pining that finally gets resolved happily? Fumbling teenaged hookups they never talk about again? Repressed feelings that come to a boiling point every now and then, only to get repressed again? Reggie spends so much time in denial or refusing to act on his feelings that by the time he’s willing to go for it, Shy, who was desperately in love with him for the longest time, has moved on? Intense UST, acknowledged or not, that never gets resolved? It all works!

Also note that I didn’t formally request Shy Baldwin & Midge Maisel because they didn’t fit well with my freeforms, but I really liked their Season 3 friendship (before it all went south), and would be happy to see something that focused on the two of them (either during Season 3, or if they meet again later), especially if it had one of my requested ships in the background to some extent.

Vid song theme ideas: UST; pining; being in love since childhood; loving someone you can’t have; life affirming amazing love; sexiness; intense loyalty.

A few ideas (feel free to use your own!):
• Any of Shy’s actual songs
• “Bad Things,” Jace Everett
• “Come Rest Your Head,” The Sweeplings
• “Essence,” Lucinda Williams
• “If I Didn’t Know Better,” Nashville Cast
• “Rock and Roll Suicide,” David Bowie
• “Shadows,” Ruth B.
• “Strange Birds,” Birdy
• “The Air That I Breathe,” The Hollies
• “The Show Must Go On,” Queen

A note on timelines: I prefer canon compliant (though missing scenes is fine), but if you have a canon divergent AU you really want to explore, I’m up for it!

Request specific DNW clarification: My infidelity DNW is waived. If you want these ships cheating on others with each other, or each other with others, that’s all good. My open or poly relationship DNW is also waived.
