TREATS ARE VERY WELCOME!
I have selected the 1x 10K or 2x 5K options for all requests. Feel free mix and match it up!
I am opting in to remixing if you like that option. Feel free to play with any of the stuff I have for these couples.
This is a sort of supercut letter, so enjoy! One has a lot more, it's just because I've put a lot of thought into it. I love them all.
Canon Divergence/What-If AUs:
Canon Divergence AU – I am all about the paths not taken and what-ifs. I am totally here for fix-its, but I’m also here for wandering down different roads. I can NEVER get enough of this. I love the what-if factor and seeing where it takes you. Q-Squared is a great influence on timeline mixing stories I like. Feel free to run it as a straight canon divergence OR spin off into one of the Dimension hopping/time traveling. How does one change change everything?
Canon Divergence Fix-It – Canon has hurt me/disappointed me, but your AU can make it all better…
A few general AU scenarios I enjoy:
Flying Dutchman AU: They don’t have to sail around the Cape but looking for the heart of the story – the determination to do the thing even if it take eternity, the abandoned ship – feel free to evoke Mary Celeste as well. This one translates nicely to space-based canons.
Bermuda Triangle AU – Lost with no trace? Does the Triangle send them elsewhere? People trying to prove/disprove the Triangle?
Ice Age Never Ended AU – I like the idea of sticking the canon in an ice-age landscape (yes complete with megafauna). Saber-toothed kitties please!
Fairy Tale AU – If you want to use a specific fairy tale, that’s fine but I’m really looking for more of the feel and elements, rather than a specific story. I am very fond of tumbling down castles that hide secrets and enchanted forests. Check out my works for ones I enjoy!
I also love some fusions!
Clue Fusion – Exactly what it sounds like. Whether it involves characters from Clue or just mirrors the setup is up to you. I love the house, the dark and stormy night, the secret, the time limit to figure out who is the killer, and the surprises. My faves are Wadsworth, Miss Scarlet and Mrs. White.
House on Haunted Hill Fusion: Much like Clue and ATTWN, I love the group gathered by a host who has Plans for them and an isolated location, where obviously they can’t just leave. Ghosts are not required, but the trapped until dawn factor is a favorite. I prefer the original with Vincent Price overall, but I do love the builder’s descendant in the 1997 remake. “I lied. The house is alive, we’re all going to die.” I’m good with some people surviving. Running out of Scotch is optional.
Jonny Quest fusion – Including Quest and crew and the gadgets could be a lot of fun. Prefer Classic Quest look but feel free to age them up and include Jade.
And Then There Were None fusion: I love the stranded on the island, why have we all been brought together, mysterious host and circumstances, people getting picked off (you don’t necessarily need to kill them off) vibe of the story. If you have a pair of characters standing in as Vera/Philip from the play version that is a plus.
And crossovers!
I LOVE crossovers, whether you play them straight or cracky. I am more interested in WHAT they do while crossed over as opposed to HOW. Insert your favorite dimensional anomaly here.
Crossover: Villain from one fandom is causing trouble in another fandom – I’m good with this being either a case where the villains cooperate OR the villain in the destination fandom is just as annoyed, leading to Heroes & Villains working together.
Cracky Crossovers - Mechanics Not Important Just Get People Together : I don’t care HOW, I care about what they get up to.
I also really love time travel, dimensional travel, multiverse stuff.
Travel Through Alternate Timelines to Get Home: All the fun of what-ifs, but no permanence. Did you read Q-Squared? Everything after “Derailment” would be great for me. Skipping from one timeline to the next? Here for it, whether they just get a glimpse or stay awhile.
Dimension travel to a significantly diverged timeline – Similar to the Canon Divergence AU, only in this one people can go back along the path untraveled back to “current” reality. They aren’t stuck there (well, unless one of them wants to be?)…. Sort of like flirting with canon divergence AUs, or letting you do more than one…
Multiple Universes collide: Cracky hand-waves ahoy! Feel free to McGuffin the EFF out of the mechanism, but I want to get groups of people together who shouldn’t be.
Canon Alternate Reality that was “resolved” persists instead – Tell me what’s going on in the alternate reality! Does it ever bite the canon reality in the ass?
Time Travel Fix-It – Let’s fix the bad thing before it actually happens (without making things worse, please).
Time travel to future where characters are in a relationship – And it convinces them to get together… confidences between past and future selves optional.
Dimension Travel - alternate dimensions where canon events went differently: alternate dimensions where canon events went differently – This one is one of my favorites – what do our people think of the alternate dimensions? What do they think of our people? Feel free to mash a few together.
Dimension Travel - Character is permanently stuck and must adapt to new universe : Exactly what it sounds like. Don’t care about the HOW.
Dimension Travel – counterparts are in a relationship – Yes, make them think about it PLEASE. Maybe they’re in the only timeline where they aren’t together…?
Time Travel – A realizes only towards the end of the adventure that B is their ancestor.
Dimension travel - meeting alternate versions of self/friends/antagonists: I love this, especially if they have to work with/against themselves. Either slam a bunch of timelines together (did I mention I just reread Q-Squared?) or one on ones.
Some tropes I enjoy:
Snowed in at a Haunted Hotel – Group of people trapped together, isolated from the outside by the elements (and maybe One of Them is a Killer), having to deal with each other AND there’s a ghost. I love the snowed in, but feel free to have the ghost/haunting not be real (a la Scooby Doo).
Character A is a hockey player and Character B is a figure skater – If you have not seen The Cutting Edge, go do your homework. That’s part of the vibe I’m looking for.
Dinosaurs & Tropical-Type Climate & Flora Survived to Canon – Looking for a lost-world island type thing here (which, of course, canon villains will use in their plots). Including a pterodactyl is a MUST (and either character is picked up in its claws or rides it)! Saber-toothed kitties please?
Female characters don't get put in the fridge – Exactly what it sounds like. Let female badasses be female badasses.
Characters Started Flirting With Each Other "As A Joke" But Now They're Not Really Joking : Just what it sounds like. Is it a joke because people are gossiping? When does one or both realize they aren’t joking…?
kneeling for cunnilingus and then needing to support her legs as they buckle: I don’t need the explicit details necessarily (blow by blow, or rather lick by lick) but more the overall experience and image, the emotional ties, but yes I love this one. Feel free to tie in with “staying quiet”
Outsider POV - Gossip correctly guesses at A/B's secret relationship only to dismiss it as absurd: I live for the “I knew it” moment on this one, and all those times they shook their head because it just couldn’t be…
Stranded at Roadside Motel: (Storm Optional) This can be a venue for case fic or get a room already. I just like the isolation, especially if you work the weather in, and the feeling that anything could happen here, even if it’s only for a night.
That moment after a long night where the bowtie is loose and the sleeves are rolled up: Men in dress shirts that are a little rumpled? Hair that is a little mussed? Neckties that are undone and hanging around their neck? (I also like this with bow ties, btw) Sign me up.
Touch Starved - Character Startled by How Good Being Touched Feels : It’s been a long time since anyone did…
Trying to Stay Quiet Or You'll Get Caught: This is also a good one for established couples, but I am totally here for we have to be quiet – women making little gaspy sobs instead of the scream or moan they really want, muffling oneself in a pillow, kissing your partner so they don’t make noise.
vanishing hitchhiker: I will always love one of these. I’m down for a vanishing hitchhiker in any fandom, any era. I love the whole part where they don’t realize it’s a ghost until the end. If you would like to invoke Resurrection Mary, go for it. I would also consider reverse phantom hitchhikers (ie, the hitchhiker is real, the vehicle is not) as well as places that aren’t really there.
Castaways in Time: I’m a huge Nantucket fan, and this is the heart of the series – waking up and finding yourself out of your own time.
Castaways in Time Have Chance to Go Home: I like the possibilities inherent in this one, especially if some castaways make the decision to stay in their new time. How are they torn? Where is the conflict? Or maybe just a temporary portal?
Characters Solving Problems Like The Adults They Are : Pretty much what it says. No hand-wringing or waffling, just Do The Thing (and maybe have feeling about it after), feel free to complain while you’re working. I don’t know who nominated this tag but I loved it. No flailing or Big Mis, just “we need to do the thing, let’s do the thing” energy. Calm, competent and collected.
Country House Party: Feel free to go either Regency or Golden Age of Mystery here. I love groups of people gathered together who don’t go together, being stuck with social formalities, semi-polite snarky shots at each other, and a mystery (optional). Great setting for mystery and romance.
Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms : Coping, but maybe not in the best way. Prefer not super harmful but just not the smartest choice.
"Of course you're part of the team!" : the "of course you're part of the team!" moment that surprises only the character being told this: I love the acceptance, and the whole “you’ve always belonged”.
A&B Trapped in Secret Passage By Friends Who Want A&B to Get Together: Exactly what it sounds like. Sometimes love/lust needs a little help from their friends…
Outsider POV - Would You Two Just Fuck Already? : More than get a room, just get it out of your systems. Or not…. Stop fighting it and just fuck already. On this one, I enjoy other people thinking the same thing about the couple, and maybe doing what they can to make it happen. It doesn’t have to be a casual thing (despite saying just fuck already) but this vibe doesn’t end in “nice sex”.
That one scene from canon but make it sexier: Exactly what it sounds like. Take that moment that for some reason did NOT turn romantic/sexy (even though it was RIGHT THERE RIGHT THERE) and turn it. If you’re a TNG fan, the ending of the Attached episode is the vibe. Or Strange New Worlds S1E2, when the moment is clearly ripe and passed by.
Can't be fixed but they can be managed: If you watched SNW S2E8 this is the truest way to explain PTSD.
Chaotic But Sexy : Trouble but so much fun.
Characters keeping secrets - Technically I Didn't Lie: More like I just forgot to mention…
sparring as foreplay: You know where to go from here – fighting practice that slides to sexy, with that growing awareness on both sides.
Villain and hero both agree hero’s loved one is delightful – Exactly what it sounds like. I do love when heroes and villains find some commonality, especially if the loved one could fall on either side.
Hurt/Comfort – Nightmares – I like the nightmares and the recovery, the soothing, the talking about it until you’re calm and can sleep again, whether your partner does or not. Talk it out and get some help.
Dreams and nightmares – Symbolic and weird and revealing the character’s subconscious – If you’re a B5 fan, then key up Sheridan’s weird dream because that is EXACTLY the vibe I want here. Or the Duck Tales 2017 episode where Glomgold has amnesia, which made my daughter say B5 called and wanted their weird dream back. Also love the bit where they’re sitting there trying to figure out WTF all that was.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions – They meant well, but you know what they say. Also down for people who know that bad things are going to happen but they can’t stop it because it serves the greater good.
Fix-It: I’ll tell you where canon hurt me, you apply the bandaid. Even if it isn’t wrong, sometimes I would have liked a different ending.
intimate makeouts in cars while pulled over in out-of-the-way places: I’m into both the physical and emotional intimacy here. Bonus points if it is raining/storming/other bad weather. Feel free to have them head off into some sort of mystery afterwards where they don’t have Time to Deal with All of That Now.
Pulling someone in by their tie for a kiss: I love how this looks/feels (man wearing the tie, woman doing the kissing), and also here for possessive straightening/fixing of ties.
"For you; it was always me”: I’m particularly fond of seeing this come to a head.
Being Picked Off One by One: I love the tension inherent in this one, especially if they don’t know that the person picking them off is an outsider or not. (I am pretty good either way)
Bored Old Man Faked His Own Death and Left Clues To Frame His Family Members: In other words, what I thought Knives Out was going to be. Feel free to use as a Case Fic setup or fuse your characters into it.
Can't Stop Thinking About It - A Accidentally Sees B Naked: Pretty much what it says. Going back to the moment in their head, trying not to think about it when they see them normally, stammery embarrassed moments.
First Time Seeing Partner Naked: Here I really like the “better/more than I expected” aspect here, the wondering description and the “God I’m so lucky” factor.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV) (HAS SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3)
Joseph M'Benga & La'an Noonien-Singh (ST:SNW)
James T. Kirk/La'an Noonien-Singh (ST:SNW)
James T. Kirk/La'an Noonien-Singh/Spock (ST:SNW)
La'an Noonien-Singh & Manu Noonien-Singh (ST:SNW)
Marie Batel & Christine Chapel & La'an Noonien-Singh (ST:SNW)
Una Chin-Riley/Christopher Pike (ST:SNW)
Obviously I have a favorite character and it isn't who I thought it would be.
La'an & M'Benga - Two people who understand that some things can't be fixed, just maintained.
La'an/James - I am here for all the AUs or... get them together somehow.
La'an/James/Spock - Okay there was like one look but I am really thinking it would solve some issues.
La'an & Manu - AU where both siblings survive
Batel & Chapel & La'an - These three get in a jam together (have pity on whoever their opponents are)
Una/Chris - long time shipper here
More in letter!
Prompts:
La’an is on Kirk’s Enterprise when they encounter Khan Noonien Singh. I’m very interested in this, especially since she has not killed him once…but might think differently in this round. Also feel free to have him try and exploit their tie. Could be an AU. If you’d like to play with the La’an meets Khan in Space Seed with La’an/James, I am (obviously) here for it, whether they have been together or that’s why they get together.
I would totally be down for a story where La'an is on the ship when Khan gets picked up. Obviously there would be no BS trying to figure out who they were, whether they could trust them, but how would he react to her? I find it really intriguing. La’an being on the Enterprise when they pick up Khan (who’s clearly a known baddie) – how does that go? Maybe they don’t drop him off at Ceti Alpha V? Also sounds like a good opportunity for some La’an/James?
Future Pike’s doomed timeline – if you want to look at how Kirk’s adventures would have gone differently with Pike and crew in charge, be my guest. In my head SNW is starting its own continuity. Maybe let’s not kill people off though…especially Spock? James/La’an appear to be a thing here as well – tell me about it. What all was happening in that alternate timeline before we got dropped into it, or after we leave it. This would be good for La’an/James.
La'an/James get together in S2E9: AU or continuation of what we’ve seen – after all we know Carol and Kirk don’t work out…. I lean towards the AU though. Interested in seeing how his Tarsus 4 background plays in. What Happened in the Alternate Timeline before S1E10 would also be a great place for La’an and James to hook up again. AUs where Carol Marcus is not a thing, maybe?
Joint Mission. Something involving a colony welfare check would provide a great backbone for a story for a couple. TBH, I love these. I am here for the colony needs a rescue. I am here for the colony is shady AF. I am here for pollen that makes everyone stupidly happy. Maybe they even go to rescue a Klingon colony? Is the colony in trouble or are they the trouble? Or what is it like when the ships get together? Do the crews have exchanges and rivalries?
Gorn continuation: Erica & M'Benga & Sam & La'an: What happens after the end of S2E10? – So once we realized what had happened, my only thought was how the Gorn captured themselves the wrong group of people… How does that work out for them? Feel free to include people developing coping mechanisms that aren’t the healthiest (if M’Benga channeled the Elysian Kingdom I would be there for that). Obviously want this crew to live. This prompt was written before Season 3 started but I would still be down for either AUs dealing with it, or maybe something touching on that 3 months they were at Starbase One?
Crossover with Diane Duane books: SNW crossover involving Ael: I want to see how she would interact with this crew. Obviously the timelines don’t add up but I am totally here for crazy time-travel multiverse, and if you pick Spock, contemplating how he is different from the Spock she knows is totally welcome.
Una/Pike AU: I’m totally here for an AU after the comet episode (they’re so close why didn’t you kiss?). They need a clue brick.
La’an & Manu – So I am totally here for both of them surviving their childhood AUs? Maybe Manu is on Farragut? Alternate timelines? I don’t care
La’an/James/Spock – I know it was a glance in the 6th episode but now I need it. The moment at the end of s3e10 about "interesting relationships" hit me RIGHT in the OT3 feels. I'm also done cooking on La'an/Spock - we need more of it.
S3 specific: I am not super thrilled with the ending for Marie Batel or the copout at the end of s3e9 (otherwise an excellent episode) but all in all, I'm happy with S3. s3e8 was definitely much better than I originally expected, and there's that whole 3 month time skip between s3e1 and s3e2 where clearly Things Happened. s3e2 was nothing short of hilarious, even if it's another point towards SNW as its own timeline. The holodeck episode? I freaking loved it. s3e6 and the PHONES? s3e7 was also really good
For all couples, feel free to play with the S1E10 stuff or go with something else, especially if you tie into either of the other dimension travel ones. I’d love one where they hook up after realizing how good their counterparts are together. Or maybe an AU where Chris did pick an Eve?
Big Damn Rescue (with a kiss) – I’m here for it, with either side doing the rescuing!
Dimension Travel - alternate dimensions where canon events went differently – meeting your counterparts who are in a relationship? 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 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).
That one scene from canon but make it sexier - The end of the comet episode in S1 (the kiss is RIGHT THERE) or James/La’an. The end of S1E2 or S2E3 is what I’d love here.
Essentially, stop pining, solve your issues, and start kissing. I LOVE those field jackets they have on the show, they look heavy and warm and comfy, and good to share.
Of all the new Trek things, this is my favorite. I will be current on Season 3 by reveals (hopefully by the end of this week!).
I really love this new show, although I am wondering about continuity but NOT REALLY CARING I LOVE THIS CREW.
Something involving Captain Batel and La'an having to interact could be interesting.
So originally, I started watching SNW for Una, because I am a long-time Number One fan. Then I loved La’an as well, and while I’m not a fan of Batel WITH Pike, I don’t dislike her as much as I did. It helps when they flesh things out. This is really my newest favorite thing. Especially James/La'an, who I didn't expect to like so much. So we did noms and all before Tomorrow & Tomorrow & Tomorrow aired and if you’re watching SNW, you’ll understand why I had all the feels about La’an/James. I’m good with using the UEF Kirk instead of the “real” Kirk, or with having that influence the La’an/James relationship. That episode really blew me away I’m always down for a what-if involving Una and the Illyrians, or the universe where Pike/Number One hook up. Or La’an/James because that ep left me wrecked.
Long time Pike/Number One shipper, Like ever since I saw The Cage.. Pike/Una: I ship these two so hard. I am a lifelong shipper for these two. Hook me up with something good – sweet and/or sexy! I’ve been a Pike/Number One shipper since the first time I saw The Cage (in the 90s, I think) and I want to see how these two would play it.
Huge James/La’an shipper. I didn’t expect to like them so much but believe me, I do.
I am personally on the SNW doesn’t have to lead to our TOS train – I am totally okay with assuming it spins out/plays out differently. If you want to get inspired by TOS episodes, go right ahead. I kind of wish that they had called the Gorn something else, because I feel like it would make things stronger.
Castaways in Time - It’s here for the time travel if you need it.
Country House Party – You can expand this to be an intergalactic house party if it helps.
Dimension Travel - alternate dimensions where canon events went differently. Alternate versions of selves, counterparts are in relationships, you know the drill.
For space superstitions, I’m totally in on ghost ships, Flying Dutchman, eerie abandoned places, places that aren’t really there, vanishing hitchhikers, reverse phantom hitchhikers, Room for One More.
La’an & M’Benga – Interested in how these 2 are working through their trauma together and separately, love the sparring partner bit. Also, La’an totally knows what went down in S2E8. And she understands the final line of that episode. Some broken things can’t be fixed, only maintained. That’s a super good take on the PTSD issue, honestly – as a veteran. So seriously, S2E8 is one of the best things on PTSD I have ever seen. And the line about how some things break in a way that can never be fixed, just maintained – show me.
Stranded on a Deserted Spacestation – Is it a mission? Is it just bad luck? Why are the scanners picking up a weird signal? Maybe it ties to time travel.
And yes, the bridge crew is capital-N Nosy so good luck keeping it a secret.
La’an & Sam: Interested in how they interact. Play it into La’an wanting to weasel out more info about James or not. Also, when does Sam realize he is never getting away from little brother?
I have read the comic, it was okay. The book was a no for me.
Murder She Wrote
Donna Fletcher/Grady Fletcher (Murder She Wrote)
Jessica Fletcher & Grady Fletcher (Murder She Wrote)
Jessica Fletcher/Lee Goddard (Murder She Wrote)
I was originally not planning to request this but then I decided I was in the mood for it.
I always enjoyed Grady (especially the episode where he gets married) so something with him would be fun. I am not opposed to flashback stuff involving Jessica/Frank. Donna was also a lot of fun.
I loved the two episode set of Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel/Prediction: Murder with Lee Goddard, and would love an AU where they actually got together.
More in letter!
So I have been watching Murder She Wrote most of my life, it’s a serious comfort show. I prefer mysteries that either happen in Cabot Cove or at some ridiculous house party (seriously, how does she keep getting invited places?). Season 4-5 are probably the sweet spot – Grady gets married, the Sins of Castle Cove episode, the ski lodge episode, the Dixie Damsel and the second part, the Fire Burn and Cauldron bubble ep, and it’s an early outlier but Reflections of the Mind is also excellent.
She doesn’t have to solve a mystery if you don’t want to. But I LOVE when Jessica is at a house party just being nosy and/or helpful.
I really liked Lee Goddard, even if he came on a bit strong. It could be interesting to really explore that.
Any of the Fusion ideas would be excellent for Murder She Wrote. You can also crossover with requested fandoms.
Jem and the Holograms (Cartoon)
Jem | Jerrica Benton/Rio Pacheco (Jem Cartoon)
Aja Leith/Craig Phillips (Jem Cartoon)
Jacqui Benton & Jem | Jerrica Benton (Jem Cartoon)
Giselle "Danse" Dvorak & Nadia Dvorak (Jem Cartoon)
Howard Sands/Danielle du Voisin (Jem Cartoon)
Shana Elmsford/Anthony Julian (Jem Cartoon)
It's the 40th anniversary, so be outrageous!
Jerrica/Rio - One of my OTPs. I love these two!
Aja/Craig - They stay together? They meet another way? They have a huge wedding with plenty of DRAMA?
Jacqui & Jerrica - I'd be totally into a Jacqui Lives AU. Maybe a mother would notice her child's secret identity.
Danse & Nadia - A story where Nadia gets found? Unsolved Mysteries meets Jem?
Howard/Danielle - These two TOTALLY had something going on, tell me about it.
Shana/Anthony - We so rarely get something focused on this pair, so...
More in letter!
Forty Years of JEM, one of my first fandom loves!
So I'd love an AU story about these mother/daughter pairs.
Nadia is found? Nadia was never really lost? Danse and Nadia are reunited thanks to Robert Stack?
Jacqui lives AU? Jacqui lives – How would this change dynamics? She can be alive at the time of the story or not, but not have her go down in that plane crash. I like to think she’d be a good addition, and see through all of Eric Raymond’s BS. Feel free to kill Emmett instead…or not.
The 4 collaborate from the beginning? Outrageous!
Craig/Aja get married and everyone is invited?
Aja/Craig – They get back together. They decide not to worry about their equally outrageous families and get married. Outrageous!
For Shana/Anthony, we just see so little of them but they are clearly together and happy. Sneaking off during videos to…collaborate maybe?
Jerrica/Rio – Sweet or sexy – the vibe at the end of Broadway Magic is what I am going for.
I enjoy when this fandom revels in its Eighties roots, so if you want to involve Unsolved Mysteries or some such, go for it.
I’ve been wanting a deeper look into Danse’s search for her mother – maybe an Unsolved Mystery or something?
Jerrica and Danse seem like they would get along just as well as Jem and Danse do.
One theme here is missing/absent mothers and their daughters. A story where Jacqui lives (how does that change everything?), or Nadia gets found (with happy ending). Or even just these two interacting because they have a lot in common, IMO.
Any kind of stranded somewhere story is good. House party stories are a go!
Or maybe Jerrica decides to tell Rio the truth?
G.I. Joe (Cartoon)
Cover Girl/Wayne "Beach Head" Sneeden (G.I. Joe Cartoon)
Blaine "Mainframe" L. Parker/Zarana (G.I. Joe Cartoon)
Beach/CG - I love these two. I am a sucker for the grumpy guy meets the sexy smartass vibe.
Mainframe/Zarana - Rescue time! Alternatively I would be very into a story where Zarana is actually REALLY working for G.I. Joe and needs to be gotten out.
More in the letter!
I also think the Baroness and Zarana could be interesting together in the Mainframe/Zarana storyline. Is the Baroness tired of dealing with people who get paid by the hour?
Beach/CG are just one entry in my list of "gruff/sarcastic guy gets the girl" couples, and I love them driving each other nuts.
Mainframe/Zarana, I am completely here for a rescue type story.
Feel free to use both couples together!
Good with getting together, Not Getting Caught, no one noticing you're a Thing, getting busted as a Thing. Feel free to steam it up some.
I helped create CG/BH as a shippy couple and I miss them. The other two have a opposites attract vibe that I like. To be fair, Beach and CG are also opposites attract and then drive each other nuts before they get a room. I have not written for them in awhile, but BH/CG takes me back to a warm little fandom place. Stolen moments are good.
I also love love love Mainframe/Zarana – but how much more fun would it be if she really was working for GI Joe? I’m seeing a rescue story here as a possibility. Feel free to play around with him not being amused about the whole double agent thing. If you take that route, I am fine with Zandar being not a bad guy (unlike their other brother).
I am good with leaving set solidly within the 80s (as the cartoon does) or moving it to some amorphous “present day”. I do have military experience but do not require strict adherence to reality (sadly I was misled as to how many ninjas I would get to work with…)
Aside from the nominated characters, I am a fan of Deep Six, Torpedo, Dusty, Doc, Roadblock, Duke, Scarlet, Lady Jaye (not a huge Flint fan), Gung Ho and General Hawk. In general I accept the Baroness/Destro ship but really prefer the WWE alternate Baroness/Steeler.
Canon Divergence AU – Feel free to borrow the Worlds Without End 2 parter/movie/Computer Complications
bets & wagers but make it sexy ;) – This has Beach/CG written ALL over it (bonus points if she provokes him into the wager…)
Big Damn Rescue (with a kiss) - Either couple would be good. I’m not a fan of damsels in distress, but sometimes a girl needs a hand.
Dimension Travel - alternate dimensions where canon events went differently – See Canon Divergence but I am totally here for realities where their counterparts are together
So I’m ALL IN for an AU of Computer Complications where Zarana is really a Joe pretending to work for COBRA pretending to work for GI Joe…
Public or Semi-Public Sex - Team/Coworkers/Friends/etc. Could Walk in at Any Moment – Exactly what it sounds like my friends!
I am good with leaving set solidly within the 80s (as the cartoon does) or moving it to some amorphous “present day”. I do have military experience but do not require strict adherence to reality (sadly I was misled as to how many ninjas I would get to work with…)
Voltron: Lion Force (1984)
Romelle/Sven (VLF 1984)
Allura/Lance (VLF 1984)
Yes, I am weak for both of these pairings.
I LOVE Romelle/Sven. They also understand that some broken things can't be fixed, just maintained.
Allura/Lance just has so much possibility!
More in letter!
Post-canon. Canon AUs. I love these couples, and would love to see Allura & Romelle in action together.
Prompts:
The Lions are alive. The Lions are alive. Whether with Lion Spirits or the spirits of their former/first pilots, there is something more there than just a machine. Tell me about it. Allura communing with the spirit of Blue Lion could be fun, or can she feel her father’s spirit in Black Lion?
Or how the lions respond to their pilots - especially when they switch around in the Lions. I feel like Black feels more complex. I'd be totally down for Black welcoming Allura (she is the princess). Or the Lions and their creator (or his ghost)?
I really like the idea that the lions have a spiritual component. There’s a great take on it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/114508. The idea of the lions adapting to pilots and vice versa is a very interesting one.
Royal ball. Give me some fancy dresses and dancing and intrigues. Or maybe a royal wedding?
I don’t have as much in the way of specific prompts for this one, but think post-canon adventures for the pairings. Or strike out on the AU pathways!
Sven/Romelle. Quiet moments make me happy (a sweet quiet moment? A sexy quiet moment?). They’re my OTP in this one, I love how they’re both healing from trauma in their own ways, and how they need each other. You can cause them some more trauma as long as all ends well. What if Sven didn’t drop off the team?
Canon Divergence AU of your choice. Allura as the pilot of Black Lion? Her mother alive? Allura/Lance become a thing? Feel free to toss in dimensional travel. Dimension Travel - alternate dimensions where canon events went differently – Feel free to use any of the Canon Divergence ideas or if you really know this one, a little Beast King Go-Lion inspired reality? I think a mirror universe deal would be very powerful to explore with Allura – a deal where her parents are still alive, but she has to discover the hard way they aren’t the good guys. Sounds like a job for Lance to rescue her…
Pilots have previous connections – Maybe it’s not coincidence that they all end up there? Maybe they’re selected for it (even if they don’t know why – not a big Voltron Force fan but the ep where they find the old ship that thinks Keith is his grandfather – that’s where I’m going) or maybe it’s coincidence. Or combine with the inheritance one!
Big Damn Rescue (with a kiss). Either couple is good for this one. Why do they need to be rescued?
Allura/Lance would be a great fling, and maybe something more? Maybe it’s growing but they don’t quite see it…. Lance has always been my favorite. I have a weakness for smartasses.
Feel free to tackle the concept that the Arusian characters probably all have a case of PTSD.
I love Romelle/Sven, especially the edge to their relationship.
No damsels in distress, but sometimes a girl needs a hand!
