red_b_rackhamDear darling author,
Hello and it's lovely to meet you!! First thing's first: I'm a rambler and I tried to keep it short but ... As usual, I'd like to say that optional details are optional, so please feel free to do your thing and don't feel pressured whatsoever by my scrawling thoughts and musings. These are just ideas and suggestions, and you are fabulous for doing Yuletide!! My feelings for general likes et al haven't changed much the past few years, so it's mostly the same as my last few Yuletides. Hobey ho, let's go!
General Likes/Dislikes
Do Not Want:
I would rather not recieve high school/college AUs, rock band AUs, deaged fic, kid fic, fics focused on kids/pregnancy - just not interesting to me!
NOW THE GOOD STUFF...!
Likes:
I adore unexpected/reluctant broships, sass & snark & sarcasm, gen fic, UST with a payoff, angst, fluff, witty banter, flirting. TIME TRAVEL ANYTHING - Groundhog Day AUs, time loop shenanigans, oops woke up in the wrong decade, and hand-wavey science/magic to do it, whatever. I'm in.
I am down for het shippy fic as much as I am gen fic. If it's shippy, I prefer flirting and falling in love over established relationship, and/or history/angst/UST, but I'm also totally happy getting good established relationship stuff too (ex. food fights, sleepy Sundays, slice of life). I'll take any genre (except horror), including hurt/comfort, action/spy/heist, apocafic, pranks & shenanigans, slow burn, 5+1. Making light fandoms dark or dark fandoms light.
I'm totally cool with tropes! I am especially obsessed with enemies to lovers lately, but also very much enjoy best friends to lovers, there's only one bed, fake dating/married (esp if they're enemies to lovers AS WELL - oh bread and BUTTER), we both are here to kill the same person oops, accidentally in love, found family, protective characters, I hate you stop saving my life.
And I'm super down for crossovers (with fandoms I know - see my tumblr for ideas) and AUs! Like, assassins/thieves/spies, fairytale, coffeeshop, 40s detective/noir, Supernatural (monster hunters) being some particular favs. I'm totally good with fusions.
tl;dr: unexpected/reluctant broships, sass, time travel, angst + humor/banter, yes to tropes (enemies to lovers!!), yes to shippy or gen.
Fandom Specific
(Note for all: non-canon scenarios just as welcome as canon scenarios, as long as nothing is OOC. :D)
Studio 60: I am honestly not even sure what I want here, I am just excited to see this in the tagset. I honestly adore this show and I think it's completely underrated, and it's criminal that it got cancelled so swiftly. I love the snappy dialogue, the banter, and the relationships in this show, especially the broship between Danny and Matt, and the on-again-off-again-mutual-pining thing between Matt and Harriet. I'm always down for some angst, so whether that's Matt and Harriet angst or Danny's issues or Matt's issues, I'm down. I'm happy to see any of the characters included (especially Tom, Lucy, and Jordan), but would defs prefer to see the focus on Matt, Matt + Danny, and/or Matt/Harriet. My favorite episode is the Pahrump, Nevada one, because it's just hilarious and full of shenannigans and misunderstandings and it's just ACES. Whether this fic is about something going wrong in the show, or something between shows, some Pahrump-esque shennanigans, or some angsty relationship drama, past or present or future, I'm IN.
Revenge: The number one thing I wanted from the show was seeing Nolan and Emily riding off into the sunset in the end so I would looove to see something like that - platonic or romantic, I'm good either way. They are defs my two favs, but I also super loved Aiden. I enjoyed Victoria, Daniel, Conrad, Louise, Ben. Jack is all right but not as interesting to me as the others (same with Margeaux and David Clarke). Not a big fan of Charlotte, Declan, and Amanda. Hated Tyler and Ashley. I ship Emily/Aiden, Emily/Nolan, Louise/Nolan, Emily/Daniel. I am up for pretty much anything you feel like doing in this fandom!! Light/humor, dark, angst, any genre, shippy, gen, AU, etc. Pre-show: Emily and Aiden training and falling in love. During the show: anything with Emily and Nolan (Aiden if you want) taking people down. Saving each other's lives. I'd also totally be in for something where Emily and anyone get into some tropey "I hate you so stop saving my life" scenario. Post show: anything focused on Nolan and Emily. AUs and non-canon scenarios always welcome.
Marvelous Mrs. Masiel: I LOVE THIS SHOW TO BITS. I watched it this year and it's just so good and so well done and I just love everything about it. Midge is my hero, I adore her friendship and back and forth with Susie, and I love the sort of broship/flirty vibe she has with Lenny Bruce. I honestly would be thrilled with just about anything you want to do here that would feel funny and cute and in line with the show - comedy nights gone wrong? Lenny gets into a ridiculous bind and Midge has to help him out? Susie gets roped in, too? - but my number one wish, dear author, is to see some grEAT banter and romance between Midge and Benjamin. Am I biased because it's Zachary Levi in 50s era clothing, as a doctor who likes Midge's comedy and witty banter? YOU BETCHA. Like, Joel's aight, but I'm just not that into him. I am highkey in love with Benjamin, and if the season 3 trailer is any indication, it looks like he's not sticking around (hear my heart shattering!!!), so please, please give me the snark and banter and "enemies" to sUPPORTIVE LOVEBIRDS I need. XD Maybe they break it off, but then Midge's pops and Susie create some elborate scheme to get them back together. Maybe there's A Big Misunderstanding, or An Incident and then somehow Lenny and Susie rope each other into helping Midge and Benjamin back together. Maybe they just are adorable and witty and I LOVE THEM OKAY?
Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse: Honestly, I just love the absolute relatable wreck that is Peter B Parker and I would love to see more - with any other Spider gang member, ie Noir or Gwen or Miles - on his own in Miles' verse, or his own verse, or another verse. Maybe he has to cross universes to help somebody else again, against his judgement and wishes. XD I love Peter reluctantly getting dragged into things, and basically being tired, hungry, brusied, and out of effs to give. I love that he's a squishy marshmellow inside with insecurities and flaws and screw-ups and a history of (in his eyes) utter failures. I love that he keeps going, even when he's much more inclined to eat cold pizza and coffee straight from the pot (like, him and Matt Fraction's Hawkeye are wonderfully similar, hot tire fire, human disasters and I love them both to pieces). Whether Peter B is grumpy and going on an adventure, or he's the hero in the situation, or he's just struggling through a b-list kinda day, I'm here for it.
Please feel free to combine, swap, etc, any of the prompts and ideas above, and go where your muse takes you!

I am currently dying in art university (third year) and not on tumblr really at all, until the semester is over, so your best bet for getting a hold of me in any way is messaging Stars (above) or sending me a FF private message.
THANK YOU! \o/
