dear author letter

[delsoon]

hello! i'm so excited to see what you'll create for me, and i hope you have fun creating it! below i've copy/pasted my likes & DNWs from the sign-up as a reminder, and also jotted down some specific prompts which you are of course welcome to ignore if something else has caught your fancy.

some things i really love: enemies to friends to lovers, road trips, his dark materials or pacific rim AUs, hurt/comfort, magical realism, fake dating
DNWs: first-person point of view, miscommunication to create drama, major character death, character-bashing/ship-bashing, high school AUs/de-aging, pwp (e-rated scenes are absolutely okay but not for the whole entire fic, please), rape, torture, excessive whump

some ideas, as a jumping-off point:

a league of their own: max chapman/esther warner

• AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED!!! i'd love a look at some of max and esther's summer on the all-stars; i absolutely love reading about road trips
• or: a look at how they get along when they have to be in each other's spaces so much?
• or: did esther leave family behind? where? who? does max get to meet them?
• or! what if max was a pilot in the war and esther a spy (code name verity did a number on me, if this sounds familiar)?

a league of their own: lupe garcía/jess mccready

• they GET each other. i'd love a hurt/comfort fic here (it doesn't have to be a physical injury!)
• or a fic where neither of them get hurt and they're just dyking around moose jaw in the off-season, leaning on each other and letting each other become a permanent fixture in their worlds

a league of their own: greta gill/carson shaw

• i'd love some fic set in canon for these two; missing moments where they get to spend some time giddy about each other
• it doesn't have to be set in canon though! mostly i love how much carson wants to make them real and how absolutely greta can't let herself believe they'll ever be real ('it was always just gonna be a fling, carson!'); i think that's such delicious tension

carmilla: laura hollis/carmilla karnstein

• am i years and years late to this? yes, of course. however: here i am
• i’d love one of the aforementioned AU for this (hdm or pacrim) — Carmilla can still be a vampire! — but if that’s not your jam, maybe
• some missing scenes where they’re sweet with each other; i’m always down for something fluffy for these two

first kill: calliope burns/juliette fairmont

• just as a note, i know i have no high school AU in my DNWs but uh, obviously in this case that wouldn't be an AU so fics set in canon would be absolutely fine. i think they deserved more time to be sweet and gentle with each other in canon!
• i also think they deserve to spend time obsessively hunting each other for sport post-canon, i'm vast and contain multitudes and i'm sure whichever side you land on will delight me

the l word: generation q: shane mccutcheon/tess van de berg

• full disclosure, i did not watch the original l word and have no plans to do so, so i don't know shane's full story but i liked how gooey she got around tess ('come over later? promise? swear?' CUTE) and would love more of that
• conversely, dear writer, 'i love you' / 'what the fuck am i supposed to do with that now' made me rub my hands together and chortle like a cartoon villain so if you want to play in that space for this fic, i'd absolutely expire with delight
