Yuletide!
Prompts, meanderings below!
Thank you, writer!
I tend to throw prompts, but they're always just ideas. don't tie yourself into a knot trying to do all/some/any of it. I do it so you can have a place to start -- at least I always stare in horror at the empty optional details, so I'm trying ot make it easier for you. But genuinely I'm fine with almost everything - I have a few Don't Wants for the prompts but beyond that go to town, have fun, spread your wings, whatever.
General DNW: all three requests can be shippy and explicit sexy is fine. consensual D/s is okay. But no dub-con and no hitting/punching/slapping even if consensual. thanks.
Request One: Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince/Wonder Woman
Ok, first of all, let's get this out of the way -- I don't think the hate leveled at this movie was at all justified. Is it the Greatest Movie Ever? No. But it has good things too, and it irritates me that those things got ignored just to dump all over it. If you're here to mock it, find another request, cuz that's a very firm Do Not want. I am not here for that.
Second, a bit about me: a long time ago, when I was a young comics-reading lass, there was a run of issues of Justice League when Bruce and Diana had ... a moment. And ever since then I have totally shipped them, in most continuities, to varying levels of interest. I don't actually read comics much anymore at all, so don't worry about any of that, I'm just saying that I was primed for them to be in a movie together and interacting. and okay, I ship them in the movie too.
The thing I like about BvS is that Batman is Gone Too Far. (I mean, it's Dark Knight Returns inspired, so yeah). But the movie is where he turns it back around to be a hero again. I mean, seriously, they fucking fridged SUPERMAN to give Bruce motivation to be a hero again. But it wasn't all Clark -- part of that was Diana, too. She has something of the same world-weariness that Bruce does,and at first all she wants is to keep her secret. So when she shows up and she's a hero, and she's AMAZING, well, of cuorse his little frozen heart would go pitter-pat, right? And I think she might be just a tiny bit impressed that he's purely mortal doing all this. He's not like her, or Clark, born with these abilities. That's gotta seem crazy or admirable, and I like to think as she gets to know him, she'd get more admiring. So I think they could definitely melt each other, given time and circumstance.
So, gen or ship, I'd love something about them getting closer, becoming allies, and friends. More if you're inclined that way. And if you are inclined that way, I'm good with any rating. Also I love Alfred, and the rest of the cast, so use whoever you want. Obviously we know her movie is coming out soon and JL will follow, but as far as I'm concerned, work with what we have now, and don't worry about what's in the pipeline.
DNW: I'm not looking for non-canon AUs, though if you have in mind a what-if AU that's fine.
Request 2 Star Wars: Rebels.
Kanan/Hera
Just gimme any all space parents -- canon gen(ish) or all the shippy tropes, anything you want. I just love how they work as a team, they've known each other for such a long time, and yet all this Jedi Kanan stuff is kinda new to both of them. They both have issues with their past and what they seem to want out of the Rebellion. And of course, now Kanan's suffered at the end of two seasons, how do they deal with it? (or maybe they don't - canon divergent AUs work for me too! how might that have gone differently?)
If you want to project into the future, I'd love that too.. While I assume that Kanan has to die before ANH, what if he's still alive? Or what if Bail tells him that Obi-Wan is still alive? what happens? *chin hands* (they did meet Leia, after all, so what if Kanan and Hera get to go rescue her? or somethign like that) I'm familiar with A New Dawn and the Kanan comics, though very little of the rest of the extended canon material.
Or anyway, I love the whole 'verse, so add them to it, play with it - an adventure, a quiet bonding moment, hot sex, babies, you can be as fluffy as you want for the holiday!
3. Avengers Academy
Loki/Union Jack
I loved them in that brief story we got for them. Brian just seemed like he could look right past Loki's masks into his insecurities, and unlike most of the rest of the characters, he wasn't in it to taunt him about it, So it really felt like they might be able to build something.
I wrote a little thing for them myself (A Small Flame) if you want an idea of how I see them. Though my take obviously isn't the only one.
I also like Loki's feelings for Natasha (and I'm going to be sad if she's really just playing him because honestly I don't see why she would - she'd have to know that can only end badly and probably with the exact same result that she's supposedly watching him for,which seems counterproductive). But anyway, include her in this or not, you can ignore his attraction to her and anyone else he's mentioned and just focus on Loki and UJ.
A little adventure with them. UJ has a lot of gadgets that seem like they could work both very well or specularly badly with magic and mischief, so you could play around with that. something more meta about the school/time-fog and they're gonna solve the mystery. or they have sex at the beach.
(also, I see them more as college students, not high schoolers, so at least for me, there's no underage worries.)
I hope all of this babbling is useful to you! But if optional details are optional - please don't feel bound to any of my suggested prompts! write your own, and have fun. I love Yuletide for the chance to write new things, so I urge you to do the same. I'll love it all the more if you enjoyed writing it.
