Dear rarepair writer
First, thank you for writing for me!
I am not picky, and I'm sure I will be happy with what you write for any of these rare pairings. Please write what you will enjoy writing and feel free to take the fic into whatever creative direction you think works best.
Nothing in this letter is anything I'm expecting obviously, but as a writer, it helps me to know more about likes/dislikes, so I've rambled a bit. I also tend to throw lots of possible ideas out there - feel free to use any or none.
Stuff I like in fic (again, not requesting any one of these specifically, just talking about things that I would be cool with):
-fic about relationships (not sexual relationships necessarily, but psychological explorations of relationships between friends, family, enemies, etc.)
-thinky character studies
-characters being smart and/or highly competent and skilled
-humorfic
-mild angst or angst with comfort
-AUs -- pretty much any AU except American Civil War AUs. Seedy ancient Roman AU, adorable bookstore AU, futuristic AU, AU where canon happens differently - it's all fun.
-Characters who know each other really well, including how the other characters think.
-Characters who both care about one another a lot but have real disagreements (beyond little misunderstandings about leaving the toothpaste cap on-- disagreements in the best way to fulfill a mission, protect one another, negotiate relationship issues, or whatever).
And if you want to write sex (TOTALLY optional):
-any rating is fine
-kink/bdsm or psychological explorations of kink/bdsm are great if you like writing that (but totally optional!)
-obviously any sexual content at all is completely optional - again only if you like writing it
For these particular pairings, I don't tend to prefer:
Deathfic, serious injury, serious illness, AUs about the US Civil War or Old West, alpha-beta-omega Aus, fic where one person is in love and the other is just using the first person, bestiality, underage sex, watersports, scat, fisting and large object insertion, imprisonment as the main focus of the fic, noncon.
Anyway, here is the info that I put into the sign-up:
AO3 name: storiesfortravellers
Fandom: Chuck
Pairings: Mary Bartowski/Stephen Bartowski/Hartley Winterbottom or Volkoff, Ellie Bartowski/John Casey/Devon Woodcomb
For either pairing I would love to see any of these fics (not all the ideas of course, just trying to give options):
-First time they all sleep together
-How they decide to be together in the long term
-Porn/kinkfic (prefer no bodily fluids/excretions or serious injury)
-Fic where they're in an established relationship and they end up having different ideas on how to solve a spy problem and argue but work through it
For Ellie/Casey/Devon, it would also be cool to see Casey protecting them at a safehouse or Casey training them to be more aware of the spy world/fight/etc. since they are kind of part of it.
For Mary/Stephen/Alexei, I would really love to see them when it was Hartley Winterbottom there/
Fandom: The Unit
Pairings: Jonas/Mack, Mack/Gael
I would love any of these pairings, with comfort or UST or angry!sex or kinkfic or whatever else.
What I like about the characters and relationships: Jonas is brilliant and smart and knows when to cut through the bs. He isn't sentimental but he knows at times how to give people what they need to hear, which can be good or bad. He accepts the fucked up parts of himself as things that make him better at what he does, and he has that view of others and human nature in general - he accepts things as they are but does his best to make it better if he thinks there's a good reason to. But although he is accepting in a sense, he also holds people to high standards, and he is not someone to be crossed.
Jonas/Mack I see as a very unequal relationship in that Jonas is the guy who calms them but also challenges them to be better, so mild (or not mild) elements of control, obedience, etc. might be interesting to explore in their friendship or a sexual relationship. It can be one-time-only, occasionally to let off steam on the job out of necessity, or angry!sex when someone has done something wrong, or for comfort after a bad job, or a committed relationship - whatever you prefer.
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairings: Cas/Meg/Dean/Sam, Dean/Ellen
For Ellen/Dean, any of these would be great:
-How they get together
-How Dean convinces her that he's in it for the long term
-They're hunting partners as well as having an established relationship
-Kinkfic with Dean topping or them switching
-They save Cas together
-Sam's pov, especially if he thinks the relationship is good for Dean
-arguing or negotiating the relationship, but then they work through it
For Cas/Meg/Dean/Sam:
-what if Cas and Meg were both turned human and had to cope with that, with the Winchesters' help
-the night after a battle they almost lost
-all 4 working together against Crowley
-hiding out together from a big bad and getting on one another's nerves until they relieve some sexual tension
-kinkfic with Dean and Sam topping the other two, with the kinky roleplay getting tangled up with their real trust issues or real relationship issues
(Dean/Meg/Cas is okay too)
Fandom: Revenge
Pairings: Nolan/Jack, Nolan/Jack/Emily, Nolan/Aiden/Emily
For any of these pairings, any of these would be great:
-Comforting someone by inviting them to bed
-Nolan's POV
-Jack's POV (except for the Aiden pairing)
-How their growing relationship helps/hinders the revenge plan
-Future fic where the revenge is done and they go off and try to figure out what they're going to do for the rest of their lives
-What each person in the pairing appreciates about the other(s)
Thank you again for signing up to write about one of these pairings :)
