Just Married Exchange 2024
Jun. 8th, 2024 07:13 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
My DNW: unrequested mundane AU | female characters in fridges | non-con | violent dub-con | graphic violence | gore | graphic sexual violence | cruelty/death to animals | cruelty/death to children | requested character death | unrelieved grimdark | bigotry by the good guys | first or second POV | reader fic | ABO | soulbonds | wildly OOC in a non-cracky way
Treats are delightful!
General preferences are here.
Apologies for this letter being late and not being as descriptive as I thought, but that pesky real life thing happened.
Obviously, if you’ve already started something, keep on rolling!
I love weddings. You cannot be too fluffy or have too many details, or get into too-ridiculous or too-complicated situations. You want to go way over the top, I am your girl.
The AU counterparts thing – I love it, feel free to use it to get people together.
You can also look back at other years’ letters as well on my Dear Writer tag.
Baby-Sitters Club - Ann M. Martin
Maureen Spencer McGill/Richard Spier (BSC - Martin)
Janine Kishi/Charlie Thomas (BSC - Martin)
Established Marriage - Dealing With In-Law(s), Established Marriage - Discovering Pregnancy, Established Marriage - Happily Married, Established Marriage - Making It Work But Work Is The Word For It, Honeymoon – Resort, Proposal – Romantic, Second Marriage - Second Chance at Love, Wedding - Something Old New Borrowed and Blue ,Wedding Reception - Unmarried Couple Fantasize About Their Future While At Friend's Wedding, Wedding Ceremony - The Wedding Day Disaster You Laugh About in the Future, Second Marriage - Afraid They Are Rushing In, Wedding - That One Perfect Photograph at Your Wedding, Wedding Planning - Friends And Family Being Way Too Involved, Wedding - Family Photos at Wedding When Your Family is ... Complicated
More in letter but I am here for either couple getting married or being married. A few of the tags about second marriage are intended for Richard/Maureen but if you want to play with Charlie/Janine go ahead! I love wedding planning details, and wedding receptions make for such good stories!
For Maureen/Richard, I’m here for all the tags, but I especially like the discovering pregnancy one and the second marriage ones, because there is a little bit of extra baggage there.
For Charlie/Janine, some of the family ones apply more here, since the Thomas connection is crazy and complicated (and I love it for them). I am super here for the “unmarried couple fantasizing” one here.
And if nothing else speaks to you, I love love love the “something old/new/borrowed/blue” and seeing the different shapes that could take. Feel free to move the time period forward or not.
Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold
Ivan Vorpatril/Tej Arqua Vorpatril (Vorkosigan Saga - LMB)
Duv Galeni/Delia Koudelka (Vorkosigan Saga - LMB)
Established Marriage - Dealing With In-Law(s), Established Marriage - Happily Married, Wedding - Outdoor Wedding
I lean more towards them being married, but if you want to show Duv/Delia getting married outside, I am here for it. Both couples have fertile ground for in-laws.
I am totally here for 1500 words of happily married couples or in-laws. How does Duv like the new family? Or do they end up having an outdoor Barrayaran wedding with all the trappings? How does the fight over Commodore Koudelka’s budget go? For Tej/Ivan, feel free to expand in-laws to the Vorkosigan connection.
Star Trek: The Original Series
Spock/Nyota Uhura (ST: TOS)
Dimension Travel - Couple Finds Out They're Married In An Alternate Universe, Dimension Travel - Getting Together After Meeting The AU Married Couple Version of Themselves, Dimension Travel - Meeting Counterparts Who Are Married To Each Other, Marriage - Surprisingly Great In-Laws, Established Marriage - Happily Married, Science Fiction - Honeymooning in Space, Time Travel - Traveling Descendent Reveals Identity of Unexpected Future Spouse, Established Marriage - Dealing With In-Law(s)
More in letter, but I love the AU versions of themselves meeting and influencing things. Also adapting to Spock's parents as in-laws could be quite entertaining.
I LOVE the AU versions of themselves, and all the tags related to it.
So what kind of honeymoon do they have in space? The Lorrah novels (and possibly others) hint at a period of seclusion, is that a thing? How does Uhura like her in-laws? How long does it take Sarek to get over this untraditional choice?
Thunderbirds (2004)
Penelope Creighton-Ward/Jeff Tracy (Thunderbirds 2004)
Elopement - Celebrate Victory with Spontaneous Act of Marriage, Established Marriage - Happily Married, Established Marriage - Rescuing One's Spouse From Danger, Proposal - "We Could Be Dead Tomorrow So Let's Get Married Today", Proposal – Romantic, Wedding - Outdoor Wedding, Wedding Ceremony - The Wedding Day Disaster You Laugh About in the Future
More in letter, but I love these two and the way they CLEARLY have or should have something going on. Walk it through - here for either half of the couple doing the rescuing. If you go with the outdoor wedding, Tracy Island is right there.
Yes, I loved how they just sort of flirted with it (and the actors sold it) but I need more. What kind of wedding disaster might they experience? I love the tropical atmosphere, so feel free to have fun with that.
Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Super Mysteries - Franklin W. Dixon & Carolyn Keene
Nancy Drew/Frank Hardy (ND HB SM)
Ned Nickerson/Original Female Character (ND HB SM)
Carson Drew/Original Female Character (ND HB SM)
Established Marriage - Dealing With In-Law(s), Established Marriage - Discovering Pregnancy, Established Marriage - Framing Spouse for Murder by Faking Their Own Death, Established Marriage - Happily Married, Established Marriage - One Spouse Intends to Kill the Other for Profit, Proposal – Romantic, Wedding - Murder at the Wedding,, Wedding - Something Old New Borrowed and Blue Wedding Reception - Best Man and Maid of Honor Get Together, Wedding Reception - Unmarried Couple Fantasize About Their Future While At Friend's Wedding, Widowed - Black Widow, Wedding Reception - Criminal Exposed at Reception
Specific DNW: Nancy/Ned (refs to past relationship is good but no more)
More in letter, but I am basically going in two directions here.
1. Nancy/Frank - fun at wedding or getting married. Feel free to be shamelessly romantic.
2. Either Carson or Ned needs their help with an inappropriate spouse (as in, she is trying to kill them). I've previously requested Carson in a "black widow" situation but I think this could be fun with Ned as well. (Please note, Nancy/Ned together is a no for me)
I’ve really been saving this one for this exchange, because I think the black widow plot could be VERY fun. Either after they’re already married, or suspicions beforehand. There are 2 Nancy Drew files with similar plots. I am okay with either Carson/Ned realizing that there is a problem OR Nancy seeing the problem and realizing she isn’t just making stuff up.
Or dive into shamelessly romantic and fluffy wedding reception fic! Wedding reception hookup? Ridiculously romantic proposal?
I’ll love either approach.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV)
James T. Kirk/La'an Noonien-Singh (ST: SNW)
James T. Kirk/La'an Noonien-Singh (ST SNW)
Wedding Ceremony - Bride and/or Groom wear Dress Uniforms at Wedding, Dimension Travel - Couple Finds Out They're Married In An Alternate Universe, Dimension Travel - Getting Together After Meeting The AU Married Couple Version of Themselves, Dimension Travel - Meeting Counterparts Who Are Married To Each Other, Established Marriage - Dealing With In-Law(s), Established Marriage - Rescuing One's Spouse From Danger, Proposal - "We Could Be Dead Tomorrow So Let's Get Married Today", Proposal – Romantic, Science Fiction - Honeymooning in Space, Time Travel - Traveling Descendent Reveals Identity of Unexpected Future Spouse, Wedding Ceremony - The Wedding Day Disaster You Laugh About in the Future, Wedding Reception - Dress Uniforms as Wedding Attire
I requested both just in case (looks like typo).
More in the letter, but these two are my newest OTP.
Getting married in those sharp dress uniforms (either/both)? Guests wearing them?
Either one can do the rescuing.
I also really really think they would be good for the AU counterparts (after all, La'an has already met two of his and was involved with at least one).
I love these two.
I find the AU counterparts to be very interesting here. Rescuing works well too. The time-traveling descendant could be a lot of fun (I love the vibe of “something so familiar but I can’t put my finger on it” with that one).
So how do La’an’s in-laws feel about her?
I would be here for any kind of proposal.

But the good thoughts are always appreciated.
