Chocolate Box Letter
Hi chocolatier!
Thanks for being as interested in characters and their relationships as I am. Yays!
Overview of basic me stuff:
Stuff I LOVE: hurt/comfort, particularly the "learning to be loved" trope, orphans, hiding injury/illness, found family, good character development, happy endings, sickfic, I mean, slave and hooker AUs, but those kind of take a lot of work, animals, well done BDSM
Stuff that either really upsets me or actually ends with me spending days nauseated and unhappy: character death, partner betrayal, unhappy endings, poorly done BDSM, self-harm/suicide
Stuff I just don't like: mpreg, scat/roman showers, incest, character-bashing, open-ended endings (hopeful is fine, I just don't like "well, this COULD be hopeful, or everyone could get hit by a bus in the next moment.")
Okay, now a breakdown by fandom/relationship.
DCU: As a general concept, the reason I love the superhero genre is (1) I like found families, and Avengers and JL (or YJ, or TT, or you batfam or superfam or WHATEVER) give me those, and (2) I like vulnerability in characters who are otherwise incredibly strong, and that's sort of the realm of the superhero.
Apollo/Dick Grayson/Midnighter: I love that both Apollo and M are experiments, that they are people who have been taken apart and sewn back together, not of their own accord, and that, nonetheless, they do the best they can to protect and serve others at large. I love their oversized love for each other, and their emotional maturity. I love their intelligence and their humanity.
And Dick Grayson, I mean...Dick is human. Plain old ordinary human. And he runs with superhumans like it's nothing. He LEADS them like he was meant to be there. He gives everything of himself for others. He was raised by a vigilante and yet still believes in the rule of law. He has the same code as Batman, but he also has more capacity to forgive failure--he forgives Bruce it all the time. Dick isn't perfect. He has anger issues, and sometimes he lets them rule him. But dear lord does he try.
Honestly, combining any of those things about the characters to get them together--or even make them friends with the possibility of more--will make me happy.
As far as Bruce and Clark go, I really love questions of how far each of them would go for each other, explorations of each others weaknesses and strengths, or Clark being a good psuedo-parent to Bruce's kids. Any of them. All of them. Whatever.
Teen Wolf: Um. I'm easy for werewolves? Especially full-shift ones. It really is that simple.
Sterek: Derek's my boo, as I think is evident from my other option being "Derek & Everyone." Basically, I like fics where people treat Derek well. In small ways, like making sure he's eating,
or checking in to see how his day is going, and in big ways, like throwing birthday parties for him, or helping him get his life back together. Honestly, just make the fic about people being nice to a Derek who desperately needs it, and we'll be good.
Gundam Wing: the fandom of my forever heart. I just want to hug all of them.
Dorothy & Quatre: I'm forever intensely moved by the mercy Quatre shows Dorothy at the end of the series, and I want to know how it affects her. I want him to be there to see that. I want her to know he's not judging her, that she has someone in her corner. I want her to want him to see who she has the potential to be.
Trowa & Une: Une is my BABY. I basically just want people to help her in her attempts to work on peace, to change who she is, to make something of the person she chooses to be in the end. I want Trowa to give her a place of silence, a place to talk and be listened to with kindness.
Duo & Quatre: I adore these two. They're both so kind. Quatre out loud, and without fear, and Dup buried underneath all his noise. I just want them being friends and being there for each other when being the kind of people they are is hard.
Duo/Heero: Probably my longest held OTP. I want Duo to give Heero the space he needs to remember that he's human, and deserves good things. I want Heero to love Duo in a way Duo cannot even imagine being loved, and for both of them to know, REALLY know, that they deserve the other, by the end.
