Just Married Letter 2023

[desertvixen]

My general preferences are here.

 

My blanket DNW: nominated character death, cruelty/death involving animals/children, graphic/explicit/sexual violence

 

Treats are turned on and ALWAYS welcome.

 

For weddings in general, I love the details and the planning, the small perfect thing that you remember about the day your whole life.  It's not really a tag, but I'm also totally down for reminscing over wedding pictures/albums, either by nominated characters or offspring.  I'm totally down for a "looking back/remember when" sort of story - especially if it was something that seemed like a disaster (like the bachelor party hijinks) but now is funny.

John/Rioko - I feel like this is the parent couple we know the least.

 

Richard/Maureen - My favorite parent ship that could be...

 

Elizabeth/Watson - My favorite canon parent ship

 

Janine/Charlie - Older siblings unite

 

You can't be too fluffy, more in letter!

John/Rioko: We really don’t know much about Claudia’s aprents, but a good anniversary party might be nice.

Maureen/Richard: I can see them at someone else's wedding, or at their own.

Elizabeth/Watson: I'd love a fancy splashy 25th anniversary party for them (to make up for not having a fancy fancy wedding) with all the kids and spouses and of course Kristy orchestrates something crazy and perfect. Or maybe a second honeymoon trip?

Charlie/Janine – Wedding planning?  Wedding receptions?  Fantasizing about their own?

I am all about BSC wedding stories. Fluff, details, the wedding Watson and Elizabeth might have had if not for time considerations, Kristy having over-the-top elaborate plans, or intimate little studies of the wedding day. You can't go too fluffy on this one. I've written 49 BSC fics and 14 of them deal with weddings.

Fic at the wedding, wedding preparations, all the little rituals that go into a wedding.  I’d prefer no one ran off to Vegas (although considering it is always entertaining) but feel free to have people be a little crazy.  Down for Charlie and Janine thinking about the wedding but both thinking the other is not.

Feel free to use a Sam/Stacey wedding as background for a Charlie/Janine story.  Or go with college friends

The pregnancy one can work for either couple.  As someone who had a late pregnancy (13 years between kids), I’m totally down for them having uncertainty about the whole situation.

In-Laws could be super fun with this one, especially if you want to spin Charlie/Janine into dealing with their in-laws and their parents’ relationships changing.

Nancy/Frank - My OTP

 

Joe/Bess - It's definitely there...

 

Carson/OFC - please see all murder related tags

 

Fenton/Laura - anniversary and/or flashback?

 

You cannot be too fluffy! But also feel free to go a little dark

 

I'm down for several permutations on this one with the younger couples. Nancy/Frank daydreaming at Joe/Bess’ wedding? Joe/Bess daydreaming at Nancy/Frank's wedding? Double wedding? Maid of Honor Bess having to bail the Groom and Best Man out of jail after the bachelor party gets out of hand? Best Man and Maid of Honor getting naughty at the reception (this works regardless of which brother is getting married)?  Solving a mystery at the reception?

For Fenton/Laura an anniversary dress-up event would be lovely.

Carson/OFC: Is she only with him for his money and has a plan to get rid of him?  Willing to give it a go.

Pretty much what it says on the tin.  Feel free to indulge in 80s/90s fashion as that is the era of the SuperMysteries.

Anniversary Established Marriage - Happy and Domestic Established Marriage - Happily Married Wedding Planning Wedding Planning - Clash Of Customs/Culture Around Wedding/Marriage Wedding Planning - Bridesmaid(s) Dressing the Bride Wedding - Pure Fluff Wedding Planning - Friends And Family Being Way Too Involved Wedding Ceremony - Private Ceremony

 

Ivan/Tej - They deserve a big party

 

Duv/Delia - Tell me the details

 

You cannot be too fluffy!

Poor Commodore Koudelka's budget (perhaps Alys provides some assistance to her protege Delia)! Does the Imperial Wedding spawn more luxurious weddings as a result?

Duv would benefit from having social affirmation of his acceptance into society, and his bride is in a decent position to help him.

The bride getting ready for her splashy wedding with her sisters (and mother, and possibly Alys) would also be excellent.

I would love to see what the Barrayaran take on old/new/borrowed/blue is, and I would love a good description of a Barrayaran wedding and reception.  Which Koudelka sister wins the budget battle?   How does Duv feel about suddenly being part of the Vor-adjacent scene?

Anna/Kristoff - OTP and goals

 

Halima/Mattias - Reunited at last

 

You cannot be too fluffy!

 

I have a toddler, so we watch Frozen A LOT.  I have thoughts.  I’d be totally down for Anna/Kristoff having a private ceremony (maybe with the trolls?) to gear up for the extravaganza of the actual wedding. 

 

Halima/Mattias – I’d love something sweet for this pair.

 

Feel free to mesh these two together.

Can we talk about the vibes here? Hook a girl up.

 

You cannot be too fluffy!

 

Seriously she is definitely interested, and I would like to see it.  Plus a beach wedding on Tracy Island would be quite nice.  Maybe meeting an AU version of themselves would help?

Jack/Sidney - They have some sexy vibes.

 

Picard/Crusher - My very first OTP.

 

You cannot be too fluffy! For P/C, I have some specific thoughts in letter.

 

So, did P/C get back together or no?  The message is kind of mixed.  I would really like it if they did.  Or feel free to play with the “visions of impossible marriage working out”.

 

Jack/Sidney – Sparks, what can I say?  And while I did not include the in-law tag here by oversight, I definitely wanted that.  Which would let you pull both of these together…

I love these two and the in-law idea could be fun!

 

More in letter!

I can completely see these two moving time to be with each other.  Or meeting AU counterparts

For in-laws, I’m more interested in seeing Uhura dealing with Spock’s family, especially his father.  I get why Spock and Sarek have issues (and a human daughter-in-law is probably not going to help) but I want to see things improve.
