carolinecraneHello mystery author/artist person! I am pretty excited about this new exchange after having such a great time with Trick Or Treat last year, so I hope you are too. I have requested either art or fic for all of my pairings, and I will be equally thrilled to get either, I promise.
So I missed nominations this year because my head was still full of Yuletide, but as luck would have it, there are other people out there who are into my tiny, weird pairings. \o/
In general I'm pretty easy to please. Fic or art of any rating is a-okay.
Likes: Trapped together/huddling for warmth, friends to lovers, sex pollen, soulbonding, h/c, scar worship, codependence, loyalty kink, fake married/fake dating, ghosts, first kisses, fluff, happily-ever-after, AUs of all sorts.
Dislikes: Incest, BDSM, A/B/O, animal harm, genderswap
(I also have this weird TMI aversion to blood coming out of characters' eyes or noses. I will spare you the details, and honestly I thought I was over it, but it turns out I'm not, so in the unlikely case that might come up, there it is. I have no issues with blood or violence otherwise, it's just sinuses that give me flashbacks.)
And that's about it. Below are some fandom-specific details:
Galavant (Richard/Gareth)
Dysfunctional, codependent BFF with bonus loyalty kink. It's like a dream come true. I would just really love to see their bond, at whatever point in their lives you feel like exploring.
I ship it like FedEx, and I love that the show gives us little kernels of what their friendship must have been like when they were younger. Gareth is so brusque and violent, but it's clear he's got a soft spot for Richard. Meanwhile Richard's so self-absorbed and generally clueless, but he's got a lot of respect and affection for Gareth that shines through.
I'd love to see a glimpse of their childhood together, or Gareth helping Richard figure out how to toughen up enough to take on the throne, maybe. Sure, Richard makes a political marriage, but it's clear that Gareth remains the most important person in his life. I'd honestly love to see any scene from their lives together, whether as children or adults. Escaping to the stables to escape the pressures of royal life, maybe? Fighting lessons, fighting lessons that lead to h/c, Gareth being exasperated at Richard's lack of interest in learning combat, the possibilities are endless.
Harry Potter (Dean/Seamus)
How is this ship not more popular? I will never understand. They're the perfect friends-to-lovers, and there are so many opportunities for castle makeouts and scar worship and jealousy. During or post-canon, I will love it.
These two. These two! They hit not only my friends-to-lovers button, but my h/c button, my us-against-the-world button, even my boarding school button. They even hit my jealousy kink, what with Dean and Ginny's romance and their Quidditch team rivalry.
I would love post-war fic featuring the two of them picking up the pieces, reconnecting, exploring scars, whatever. I will take all the angst and/or fluff you want to toss my way. If you'd rather focus on something set during the books, Seamus' alienation from Harry in OOTP would be interesting. How did that strain his friendship with Dean? Or there's HBP with Dean and Ginny, of course. Jealous!Seamus and Oblivious!Dean makes perfect sense for that part of canon.
Plus there's the fact that Seamus is a pocket-sized Irish leprechaun and Dean is basically a giant. I'm just saying.
Parks & Rec (Craig/Jean-Ralphio)
They have no staying power, but I LOVE the chemistry between Craig and Jean-Ralphio. How did horseback riding go? How many times did they hang out? How far did things get? Was it weirdly intense like their chemistry, or awkward and hilarious, or all of the above? I just have so many questions.
So I was *thrilled* to see this pairing nominated, even though I honestly don't even know what I want for them. We know they don't end up together long-term, because Craig is of course happily married to Typhoon by series end, and Jean-Ralphio is busy faking his own death. But that scene where Jean-Ralphio asks Craig to go go-karting, then happily rolls with Craig's demand to go horseback riding instead? It did things to me.
Do you want to give me a glimpse of their horseback riding date? Or some other date that we didn't get to hear about? Awkward/intense/hilarious mornings after? I love the idea of Craig's intensity and Jean-Ralphio's perfect willingness to go along with whatever. They complement one another in this amazing way and I think sparks must have flown between them, at least for a little while.
Star Trek reboot (Chekov/Sulu)
Science nerds in love. They go through a lot of intense situations together, but they also have a lot of mundane hours to fill while they're floating around space. Also hot acting caption Sulu and engineer Chekov. Just saying.
I blame John Cho entirely for my affection for this pairing. He brings the grace to Sulu that George Takei provided, but Cho's Sulu also has this geekiness that I find really endearing. Working so closely with Chekov means it would be easy to fall into a habit of socializing, maybe starting with meals and then discovering that they have more in common than they thought they would.
Chekov doing the wide-eyed hero worship thing while simultaneously being SO MUCH SMARTER than everyone around him is my jam. Sulu being sort of put out and surly about this super genius kid who's good at *everything*? Bring it. Do they play chess together? Does Sulu teach Chekov to fence? I love sci-fi tropes, so feel free to throw any of them in the mix, if you like. Sex pollen, shuttle accidents, diplomatic intrigue, whatever, I'm into it.
