Chocolate Box 2019
Dear Chocolatier, I have been a very good girl this year (as long as you keep in mind what day it is). I am excited about the Valentine's Day goodie you are bringing!
My AO3 username is NancyBrown.
Likes: fix-its, friendly rivalries, sticky sweet schmoop, time travel, "you and me against the world," crossovers with neighbouring fandoms (Sarah Jane Adventures, Class, Static Shock, Batman Beyond -- not Supernatural or Teen Wolf because I don't watch them), tie-ins to fics I've written (what?), humour, case fics, romance, mystery, hopeful apocalypses, old fashioned horror, and porn.
Dislikes: character bashing (including making fun of anyone's name), non-fixed character deaths, noncon, issue fic, OC POV, A/B/O, mundane AUs, body horror, unrequested pairings unless you know for a fact I ship it. TW-specific DNWs: CoE and MD (though I like the CoE characters and enjoy AUs where they interact with the other cast and no one is dead and nothing hurts). Despite this, as stated above, I am weirdly good with apocafic as long as there's a hopeful ending or everyone everywhere is dead together. My issues, man. Don't ask about them.
Fandoms! The following prompts are ideas, and I'm not married to any of them. I am good with anything in the usual tropes lists. (For a nice long list, start here.) Mainly, use some or all of the characters I requested, don't focus on characters I didn't request, don't be mean to any of them, and I'm going to be pleased with whatever you make!
Gargoyles
Requested Pairings:
Xanatos/Fox
Owen & Xanatos
Owen/Xanatos/Fox
The nostalgia is real. Back when this show was on, I was obsessed with the ins and outs of the Xanatos extended family, and I shipped all the permutations of this triangle. I'd be happy to see Fox's parents or Papa Xanatos show up, or watch these three raise Alex together, or anything. The Manhattan Clan and the rest of the cast are welcome to join in.
- Date night
- Date night interrupted by the other supervillains in town
- Xanatos interfering in magic lessons
- The rest of the castle's residents figure out Owen isn't just David and Fox's friend
- Just because Xanatos is a reformed supervillain doesn't mean he and Owen aren't cooking up corporate shenanigans
Torchwood
Requested Pairings:
Ianto & Tosh
Jack/Ianto
Lisa/Jack/Ianto
Martha & Tosh
Lisa/Ianto
Jack/Ianto got me into this fandom, and I stayed for the long haul. I love everything about their dysfunctional mess of a relationship, including that one spark of hope that it wouldn't end badly. Canon-divergent AUs are my jam. I love Alice and Johnson and Lois from COE if you want to bring them along.
- Ianto and Lisa got out of Canary Wharf alive, and lived a happy life somewhere else
- They ended up in Cardiff after all and they both started sleeping with Jack.
- Jack broke time to fix what went wrong (for all definitions of "went wrong").
Tosh has complicated relationships with the rest of the team. We got so little of her spending time with Ianto but I love the glimpses we did. (Also, the bit during "In the Shadows" where he brings her a beer was formative.) Her relationship with Martha is going to be more fraught: Tosh was a UNIT prisoner, Martha knows things about her friends that she doesn't know, and a dozen other reasons why friendship will be hard for them. I love it.
- Tosh and Martha and UNIT between them
- Ianto and Tosh team up during Jack's absence because someone has to keep the place running
- Everybody lives AU
Doctor Who
Requested Pairings:
Thirteen/Missy
Thirteen/Missy/River
Thirteen/River
Twelve/River
Eleven/River
I love Thirteen and her companions! Please feel free to bring them along. If you're setting it during Eleven or Twelve's runs, I love all their companions, too, and would love to see them. A massive multi-Doctor multi-Companion team up would be fun, too. (Martha and Jack are my favorites from the earlier New Who runs.)
- Thirteen's new fam runs into one or two of her exes
- A missing adventure from the twenty four year long date at the Singing Towers
- Any of the time-hopping adventures when Eleven and River added extensively to their diaries.
Justice League & JLU
Requested Pairings:
Audrey/Diana
John/Shayera
Diana & Shayera & J'onn & Clark & John & Bruce & Wally
Audrey/Diana got me back into watching Justice League after a lackluster first season, and I am up for any story where they interact in any way. The Eternal Self-Loathing And Ultimate Getting Over It of Shayera Hol has been my jam for thirteen years. I love how things play out with her friends, both her old relationships and the new ones she's building. I am a sucker for simple John/Shayera fluff, or post-Wake the Dead angst, or wacky hijinks. I saw the team in the tag set and all I want is to see them together and happy and working as a unit. I am familiar with the Justice League Beyond comics future events but I am happy to ignore them if you are.
- What is the political fallout of the Queen of Kasnia dating the Princess of Themyscira?
- Secret dating!
- A happy moment between John and Shayera before Starcrossed, teaming up for an adventure together
- An angsty moment during JLU or after John tells her about Rex
- After everything, the classic team takes a mission together. The mission may involve paintballs, laser tag, or an escape room, or saving the world again.
Farscape
Requested Pairing:
Stark/Zhaan
This is a nearly non-existent pairing. One happy moment, any happy moment, even after she's dead would be great!
- Some quiet time on Moya before everything went to hell
- AU where Zhaan survived for Stark to take her to the healing planet
- Stark while he's helping to make the game in John Quixote
