(no subject)
First of all, THANKS PAL! For taking the time to read this AND for taking the time to write the fic. You're a champ. I'm seriously stoked to read whatever you end up writing from this hodgepodge of requests. Here's my fic tag so that you can get a taste of what I write and maybe that'll help show what I like. *bites nails*
I'm gonna toss out some General Stuff I Love And Also Don't and then get down to the specific requests.
Likes: Found families, super strong friendships (bonus points for male/female entirely platonic friendships), Awesome Ladies With Agency, a good rom-com-verse AU, snark, humor, angst that is well-done and serves a purpose, banter, UST (with payoff), sneaky makeouts and loads of other things.
Dislikes: Character bashing, character destruction for the sake of a ship that character gets in the way of, cheating, too much awkward, Ladies Who Lack Agency (I'm not big on weeping females that don't solve their own problems - although I don't mean to say they cannot have emotions or lean on other people!), non-con, blood and guts grossness, and other sundry things.
Okay, so requests.
Request The First
Fandom: American Girls: Samantha - Various Authors
Characters: Samantha Parkington, Eddie Ryland
Request: Basically what I would love to see out of this is a grown-up Samantha and Eddie meeting again (possibly after not seeing each other for a while but that's totally optional on your part) and reconnecting-- in what way is entirely up to you. Snark is always appreciated, as is a strong-lady-type Samantha.
Snooty society parties and secret makeouts are fun. They could also happen at the same time, should you so desire. I just want to see some sort of way in which these two could end up together after crossing paths again as Big Kids, rather than the headstrong little girl and the annoying neighbor boy who put salt in the ice cream at her birthday party.
Request The Second
Fandom: NCIS: LA
Characters: Marty Deeks, Kensi Blye
Request: Any take on how these two crazy kids end up together. Hiding it from the team is a big-- successfully is fun, and completely not successfully due to their complete and utter lack of subtlety is even more fun. I'd prefer to see Deeks as the competent grown-up that he actually is, rather than the goofy, bumbling sidekick he sometimes gets written as. Undercover casefic is always a huge plus, and appearances by the rest of the team would be wonderful but that is completely up to you.
I am not going to lie to you, I will take anything that you give me with these two. I just adore them both so much. As I stated above, I do prefer to see Deeks as the competent grown-up he is - sometimes, I've noticed, fandom writes him off as "the fool" stereotype (but thankfully most people don't). Also, appearances by the team, but especially Eric Beale and Nell Jones being rockstars behind the scenes (and I mean, being in love if you are so inclined but if not that's totally cool) would be super appreciated.
Request The Third
Fandom: Hart of Dixie
Characters: Zoe Hart, Wade Kinsella, Lemon Breeland, Lavon Hayes
Request: Wade/Zoe and Lemon/Lavon are the preferred pairings (makeouts on both sides would be AWESOME), but snarky wonderful humorous gen is also appreciated. PS - I adore George and wouldn't mind seeing him in the fic at all - I just prefer Zoe with Wade and Lemon with Lavon, rather than George. Other than that, pretty much anything you want to write with this lot is fine by me.
Self-explanatory. This one I'm not terribly picky about, other than what's stated above. Banter between everyone, pining and UST between everyone -- very good things. Also, if you wanted to like, toss them on a road trip or snow or storm them into a house I wouldn't complain. And if you wanted Magnolia Breeland and Rose Hattenbarger to show up somewhere, I wouldn't complain about that either.
Request The Fourth
Fandom: Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce
Characters: Buriram Tourakom, Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak
Request: So, what I want to know here is what everyone wants to know - HOW DID THEY GET TOGETHER? Fill in what Tammy did not tell us in the books. What on earth prompted Buri to be in Raoul's room in just a sheet? Makeouts are awesome.
Uh, yeah. I just want this fic. Makeouts. UST and pining before the makeouts. Buildup (including UST and pining) rather than it coming out of nowhere would be really great, but just see where the muse takes you!
I really hope that I have been a help with this rather than a hindrance! Whatever you write me I will be guaranteed to love, because I love everyone in this bar. Including you, Yuletide Author. Including you.
THANKS AGAIN!
Love,
ME (aka duchessofavalon)
