yuletide 2020
Thank you for offering one of my tiny fandoms. I'm sure I'll love whatever you come up with, but if you need some ideas, I'll suggest the following:
Airwolf
Michael Coldsmith Briggs III
Caitlin O'Shannessy
In canon, Michael has been blown up, tortured, brainwashed and drugged into attempting to kill his superior, all within the span of three years. That's got to leave a few demons, particularly ones that he's really not in a position where he can admit to them. PTSD? Nightmares? Perhaps some seriously unhealthy coping mechanisms? Caitlin's been through some things herself, including having a bomb strapped to her. I could easily see her picking up on there being something wrong with Michael. I'd love any sort of take on that, from a gen version up to and including kink (bondage, blood play, pain play?)
I'd also be up for any of the usual “get together” type tropes. Undercover as a couple? Trapped in a snowstorm? Etc.
If that's not your thing, how about some sort of fix-it fic for the way Michael is “transferred” and Caitlin simply disappears at the end of the third season? Any rating is fine. (If you choose to go this route, I'm okay with Dom and/or String being killed.)
Likes for this fandom: snarky characters, physical or mental h/c, PWP, gen, humor, adventure, women or other characters who are usually in need of rescue turning the tables and being the hero. Note that I'm fine with dub-con and I'm also okay with gore, violence and secondary character deaths.
DNWs for this fandom: unrequested pairings involving either Michael or Caitlin, main character death, rape, a/b/o, genderswap, male or female pregnancy, kid fic, curtain fic, AUs other than canon divergent. Bodily fluids other than come, sweat or blood.
Progressive Insurance "Flo" Commercials
Flo the Progressive Insurance Girl
Jamie (Progressive)
Have you seen the Progressive BundleOverdrive3 Commercial? I'd love the movie (or scenes from it.) Just tell me where they've been, and what they've been doing. Tell me about any of the characters from the closing credits. Go wild! (I'm fine with either & or / between Flo and Jamie.)
If you're not into that particular commercial, I'd be up Flo and Jamie fighting zombies, or IN SPACE! Or anything along those lines. If you'd like to crossover this with Mayhem from Allstate (or any of the other insurance company ads, go for it!
Likes for this fandom: Adventure! Humor up to and including crack!
DNWs for this fandom: main character death, rape, a/b/o, genderswap, male or female pregnancy, kid fic, curtain fic, AUs other than canon divergent or as suggested above (please no coffee shop/high school/other mundane). Bodily fluids other than come, sweat or blood. PWP (some porn is fine, but I'd prefer something mainly plot based.)
IndyCar RPF
Colton Herta (IndyCar RPF)
Alexander Rossi (IndyCar RPF)
James Hinchcliffe (IndyCar RPF)
Conor Daly (IndyCar RPF)
Please write me some hijinks! First, let me make it clear that you do not need to use all of my requested drivers. In fact, I don't mind if you use none of them, and instead use your own favorites of current and past drivers. I nominated the drivers that I thought might be the most fun, but I really have no particular favorite drivers in Indycar.
I would prefer a gen story in this fandom, and I'd love it if you could write something with at least an undercurrent of humor to it.
A few suggestions. There is approximately a week of practice time prior to the Indianapolis 500, and given typical Indiana weather, usually at least one day ends up being a washout, leaving the drivers with little to do. Several years ago during a rain delay, Hinch started a “planking” thing among the drivers, which led to a bit of unofficial competition to find more and more unusual and outrageous places to plank. Another rain delay could cause a similar contest. This year, one (or more) of the drivers "stripped" another driver's golf cart and hid the wheels. Awhile back, Conor and Rossi were contestants on The Amazing Race, and several drivers appeared on Family Feud - perhaps they could appear on some other game show? Or if you'd like to go in another direction entirely, maybe the airport is fogged in, and the drivers have to car pool/road trip together? Maybe the drivers gang up in a prank war on one of the announcers? If you have another idea, go with it!
Likes for this fandom: snarky characters, gen, humor up to and including crack. Boys behaving badly.
DNWs for this fandom: sexual content, main character death, rape, a/b/o, genderswap, male or female pregnancy, kid fic, curtain fic, setting change (ie, coffee shop) AUs. Also no serious racing accidents. (I don't mind damaged equipment, but no serious injuries, please.)
