[Rare Pair Fest] Dear Author Letter 2014
SPOILERS FOR MOST OF THE FANDOMS REQUESTED! [Catch Trap, Hunger Games, Heroes of Olympus, MCU and X-Men(Movieverse)- specially Cap 2]
Hello, love! Thank you so much for offering the things I requested. I'm sure your gift will make my day. If anyone is here lurking, be it for treats or just the peak, a great hug too.
I'm not picky, so I'll just number a few things I would prefer not to get and link some places where I do have my general likes, that way you can choose what to do. And maybe a bit of rambling on why I asked certain pairs/triads/moresomes.
For treats I would love to receive art, mixes,tumblr graphics and any other type of thing, and that includes art for any of my fics.
Things I don't like/are triggering: non-con (past non-con or non-graphic non-con is fine), dub-con (thought if it is something light, like someone not being sure they want to have sex, but after talking or starting it, liking and the dub-con section is more about fear of the unknown than really not wanting, is cool), vore, bugcock, bloodplay, scat, watersports, major character death (as in one of the people I requested in the pair you are writing), overly graphic torture/violence and vomit. I would prefer no weight issues/eating disorders be the main focus of the fic.
You can check my General Like List,in that link. And my !exchange_letter tag for all my other dear author letter (specially the ones I requested this year) for more info on things I like, would like to see written. You can also take a look at my AO3 Bookmarks, where I usually keep all the fics I read there and it can give a good idea of what I like.
Fandom Specifics
The Catch Trap - Marion Zimmer Bradley
+Bart Reeder/Mario Santelli
+Bart Reeder/Mario Santelli/Tommy Zane
+Bart Reeder/Tommy Zane
+Mario Santelli/Tommy Zane
I would love to see anything with this characters, just because there isn't almost no fic out there. One thing that would spectacular: coda scenes or anything with the time we don't see in the book, be it Mario before meeting Tommy or the time they were apart between Book 1 and 2.
Bart/Mario would totally feat that; how did they meet, how was for Mario and Bart to start that relationship? Did Mario feel the same pressures that Tommy did, being younger at the time? I can also see something with them older, maybe even a set-up with Bart/Tommy and Bart/Mario, but not the three together.
Mario/Tommy is of course my fav, and I would love, besides the coda-scenes, any future!fic and how their relationship became on the road again. Is the tension still there? Does Suzy, Mario's kid pick up on it? - she is devilish smart. Or maybe further, with the retired, like Mario teaching ballet/trapeze and Tommy being a makeup artist on Hollywood.
Bart/Tommy and Bart/Tommy/Mario - I like just Bart/Tommy and I could even see Tommy and Mario not being sexual with each other anymore, where Bart took his place. We see Mario all the time being less than worried about Tommy/Bart, so maybe, at one point or another, they would all hook-up? It can be angsty with Mario feeling left-out or with him being totally embarrassed (love embarrassed!Mario) thinking it's another step in his pervertness. It can be that Tommy just needs to merge those two relationships, because he can't leave being stretched between them too and it can even be that they naturally fall into each other.
The Heroes of Olympus - Rick Riordan
+Hades/Percy Jackson (THoO)
+Nico di Angelo/Jason Grace/Leo Valdez (THoO)
+Nico di Angelo/Jason Grace/Percy Jackson (THoO)
I had to contain myself with this fandom, because I was going to request tons of parings/triads and then I realized I had to focus. For the triads I just would like to see Nico being loved, because I think he can see how much love can do for you, specially when returned. I chose both triads with Jason, because I see him wanting to guarantee Nico gets some happiness, and why not himself? Leo and Percy are added bonus, like Percy/Leo realizing they like Nico and seeing how close he is now to Jason or Jason trying to be Cupid and ending up with the other two, because he wants that for himself. If Hades makes an appearance, being overprotective or just plain daddy over the other boys, I will love you forever.
Percy/Hades is a super odd request, I know, but I feel Hades deserves some happiness and that maybe, after Percy being in Tarturus he could see how lonely Hades truly is and how living so close to much evil could make a god so sad. In many ways, I love how Hades has both facets, crueler as Hades and kinder as Plutus, some play with that would be phenomenal.
Hunger Games Series - All Media Types
+Gale Hawthorne/Peeta Mellark/Finnick Odair
+Katniss Everdeen/Gale Hawthorne/Peeta Mellark
+Peeta Mellark/Finnick Odair
+Gale Hawthorne/Peeta Mellark
+Everdeen/Peeta Mellark/Finnick Odair
So, I asked for het, which isn't that common for me. Actually I almost never read or write het, but the author sold me both Peeta/Katniss and Katniss/Gale. Since I'm a slasher at heart, I also request just boys pairings.
For this fandom I'm cool with bittersweet endings, and harsh moments, because the canon is really good with that. I can also see Au's or Canon Divergences, with less tragedie and that includes everyone alive, including Finnick and Prim.
Future!fic, with anything after the books would be great. Katniss and Peeta trying to fix each other and failing, scars and consequences, things that never are fixed, nightmares and any other things that show that they won't ever heal completely. Having kids and trying to manage each other, and bringing someone else into the relationship.
I asked for Katniss/Peeta/Gale because I always want to see triangules that end up in polyamory or at least where the "V" (Person that is in the center of a triad that doesn't have all member in a relationship with each other - Katniss in this case)can have both people and everyone still be happy. In that sense, Peeta/Gale is cool too, even in a "V" where they are together at the same time Katniss/Peeta exists or where Katniss died or just went away.
One of my favorite character is Finnick and I would love him not to be dead (even if he isn't in the main pair - Katniss/Finnick friendship is awesome too). I could really see him leaning against Katniss and Peeta, if Annie died before he could rescue her or a tentative thing between Katniss/Finnick in District 13 and being slowly brought together with Peeta after everything is done.
For Peeta/Gale/Finnick and Finnick/Peeta I see a lot of revealing of pressure, plot what plot, bromance, frienship turned into relationship, fuck budies and any arrangement when things star casual and turn emotional.
Marvel Cinematic Universe
+ James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson (MCU)
+ Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson (MCU)
+Bruce Banner/Thor/Loki (MCU)
I only asked this three to see I could have a larger chance of getting more Cap 2 fics, than general MCU fics. Don't get me wrong, I read and ship and slash couple, triad or moresome in MCU, but I wanted to focus on just these three for this time.
I had all the Cap 2 feels, so any coda scenes, where you write what we didn't see, Bucky Pov, Sam Pov would be super cool. Post Cap 2 and Sam and Steve trying to find Bucky. Bringing Bucky back and trying to make him remember. I'm down with both Sam/Steve and Sam/Steve/Bucky, with past (during Cap 1) Steve/Bucky or not.
If you choose Sam/Steve (or only offered to write that), I would prefer Steve/Bucky to just be friends or have broken up without hard feelings, which means if it's further on Bucky recovery I wouldn't like to see Bucky depressive over Steve being with someone else. He can definitely be jealous or overprotective, thought.
Au's and Canon Divergence, established relationships are great and fluffy/kinky fic are good beyond measure.
I kind've love Bruce/Thor and Loki/Bruce and I would love to see how they work together to win Hulk over. Cockblocking Hulk or hulking out in intimate setting is great. As is Loki and Thor having to make Hulk see they can be good to both him and Bruce. I also love Hulk/Tony or Hulk/Clint friendship and wouldn't mind seeing it in the fic.
X-Men (Movieverse)
Erik Lehnsherr/Logan/Charles Xavier (Movieverse)
Logan/Charles Xavier (Movieverse)
Logan/Scott Summers (Movieverse)
So, I requested this pairs/triad thinking about X-Men Days of Future Past, so anything using the movie would be amazing. However I'm totally fine with other stuff, like X-Men 1-3 for Logan/Charles and for Logan/Scott, specially for the last one.
I have a undying love for Logan/Scott, like always. I think Logan could make Scott loosen up and Scott, as loving as he is, to make Logan see that he can be loved. With the end of DOFP, I could see Scott figuring out Logan stance, maybe from a bleed from Jean (after she was informed of it by the professor) and being fascinated, changing how he feels about Logan. I can see them getting closer, now their past is vastly different. I can see Scott drifting from Jean, when the despair isn't there anymore and maybe, a little healthier finding something else.
Logan/Charles is super amazing, specially young Charles and all the "fuck you" attitude they have with each other. I could see Logan picking him up, guiding him. Fics that focus in the time Logan doesn't know what happens (between him in the lake and him back at the changed future). Fics that focus on Logan deciding to accept Charles and Erik's offer on First Class. Logan showing Charles is not bad to on the chair and Charles showing him that is ok to be with bone claws again.
Charles/Erik/Logan would super awesome, because lol. I can totally see Logan exasperated with them, where he knows they love each other, but keep knocking heads. It would also be cool to see kid!Pietro and daddies Charles/Erik trying to figure out how to bring Logan in. Or something AU with Kings Charles/Erik and Logan being the Guard, that turns into something more.
Know I'll love anything you decide to do! And these are just some ideas.
