Dear Rare Pair Author,
I enjoy everything from case fic to character studies, pre- and post-canon fic, and missing scenes, and I would love a fic of any rating, from G to NC-17. For more specific likes as well as completely optional prompts for each canon, please see under the cut.
General Likes:
- Hurt/comfort, especially the kind where the one who caused the hurt offers the comfort
- Undercover identities and the questions they create about who someone really is--and who they can be under the right circumstances
- Stories that explore how characters conceive of themselves vs. how others see them
- Relationships that are forbidden (boss/employee/coworker to "we shouldn't do this because of x") and the push/pull they create in various ways.
- Loyalty, even if it's offered through gritted teeth
- Fake dating
A Few Sexual Things I Like in Fic:
- Rough Sex that turns tender (or not!)
- Hair pulling
- Hair stroking
- Bathing or washing
- Spanking
- Power plays
- Sex outdoors
Please Do Not Include:
AUs (though canon divergences welcome!), crossovers, under-18 sex, character death
Father Brown, Sid/Sullivan
I love Sid's "Good guy who occasionally steals" and Sullivan's "Cop who disregards Father Brown, but actually uses his (and Sid's) help" dance and would love to see more, potentially in the form of Sid and Sullivan roleplaying suspect and cop.
Would really enjoy:
--Canon divergence where Sullivan helps investigate the case that put Sid in jail for a year.
--Missing scenes from The Owl of Minerva or post-episode sex/development of the relationship?
--Anything involving angst and loyalty. Maybe Sid is suspected of murder and Sullivan has to arrest him?
--Sid and Sullivan undercover!
Very welcome kinks/tropes: Fake dating, handcuffs, H/C, loyalty, sex in prison
Lymond Chronicles-Dorothy Dunnett, Francis Crawford/Will Scott
I can never get enough Lymond/Will! The loyalty--and testing of loyalty--with these two is like catnip for me. Add Lymond punishing Will? And undercover exploits? Yes.
--Anything involving h/c would be great here, especially if Lymond's easing pain he caused (because he had to? Because he wanted to? Does Will know which it is?)
--Writing on the body, whether it's initially intended as something sexual or not
--Will experiencing Lymond's gentler side? Yes, please
--Fight or fuck, whether it's physical or verbal.
Very welcome kinks/tropes: H/C, loyalty, rough sex, thank god we're alive sex, spanking, sparring
Robin Hood BBC, Robin/Guy
Would love anything here from pre- to post- canon and hate sex to reluctantly in love or just in love and growing old together (and their shared sibling's response).
Very welcome scenarios:
--Cases where Guy could have killed Robin/turned him in, but didn't.
--Medieval glory hole scenarios
--One of them is due to die the next day and they have sex the night before (though please let the one condemned escape).
--Pre-canon secret relationship
--Undercover situation where one has to pretend to be the other, or any other undercover scenarios
Welcome kinks/tropes: H/C, rough sex, aftercare, reluctantly in love, undercover
The White Queen, Richard III/Elizabeth of York
I love how Richard goes from "This is wrong, but I'll do it to make Tudor seethe" to "I'll make you Queen, for you, for me, and for England" and how Elizabeth makes someone take her to Richard's tent as he's getting ready for battle. Their chemistry is smoking!
I'd love:
--Canon divergence where Richard wins Bosworth and *does* make Elizabeth queen. What is the reality of that like in terms of papal dispensation wrangling (not to mention Elizabeth Woodville?) Is there throne sex? Post-battlefield victory sex?
--Any further discussion about the princes in the tower between them.
--Anything that explores their different feelings about the incestuous nature of their relationship. Does Elizabeth ever address him as "Uncle" after they've slept together? If he's uncomfortable about it, does Elizabeth ever feel tempted to use it against him (as part of an argument about politics/her mother's side of the family/both?)
--Anything about their power dynamics (Richard's "I'm not Richard. I'm your king" still gives me chills).
Very welcome kinks/tropes: Thank God We're Alive Sex, Spanking (Richard spanking Elizabeth either as play or as play punishment), Femsub, Handholding, First Time Sex, Loyalty, Kneeling, Throne Sex, anything ceremonial, H/C
