Rare Pair Madness Letter
Blanket DNW: nominated character death, death/cruelty to animals/children, explicit/graphic/sexual violence
Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (TV)
Nancy Drew/Frank Hardy (HB/ND TV), Nancy Drew/Robert Wagner (HB/ND TV)
Nancy/Frank: We watched this recently and I need more. They can be on a case but wherever they are I need that "just get a room" energy.
Nancy/Robert Wagner: There is an episode of the show where Nancy has a flirty run-in with 1970s Robert Wagner. I need more. (This is even better when you realize his character Jonathan Hart is essentially a grown up Frank)
Get a room (both episodes, they are ALREADY in a hotel!) is the vibe here between Frank/Nancy and I am here for it. The competition works nicely especially with Joe egging on Frank on or maybe flirting with Nancy a little.
For Nancy/RW, I don’t want anything more than charged flirting. Maybe they help with a case he is connected to (not Natalie Wood, please - a made-up light case) or maybe he has her do an guest star turn?
If you’d like to combine these two and give me jealous Frank and ND/RW flirtiness and actually Frank ACTUALLY making a move…I’m here for that.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Beverly Crusher/Jean-Luc Picard (TNG)
One of my very first ships. I took my teen on a tour through TNG and...look, just make them happy. I am not watching Picard, FYI.
I’m good with fix-it fics, AU, whatever it is that puts these two together, my first real UST ship (and the first one I really GOT). Dancing and/or holiday trips always good OR stuck in the holodeck… not a Dixon Hill fan but maybe something else?
Original Work
Female Librarian/Frequent patron (Original Work), Lady of the House/Male Secretary (Original Work), Widow of Arranged Marriage/Long-lost Childhood Friend She Once Thought She'd Marry Instead (OW)
librarian/patron: Flirting through books.
Lady/Secretary: He's there to fulfill her needs, whether taking dictation or filling in some gaps...
Widow/Friend: Thinking a Regency or Victorian vibe here, but what it says.
Pretty much what it says. For the librarian one, I love the idea of flirting thru requesting titles, notes in the books, etc. For the lady/secretary please bring all the double entendre. If she is married, I prefer the husband not to know just what duties the secretary carries out. Widow/friend, if you’ve read Amanda Quick - you know my jam. Mysterious circumstances, revenge plots, a blue-stocking-ish female, and mysterious wealth? I’m in.
Jem and the Holograms (Cartoon)
Aja Leith/Craig Phillips (Jem Cartoon), Jem | Jerrica Benton/Rory "Riot" Llewelyn (Jem Cartoon), Princess Adriana/Corvin (Jem Cartoon), Rory "Riot" Llewelyn/Mary "Stormer" Phillips (Jem Cartoon), Shana Elmsford/Anthony Julian (Jem and the Holograms Cartoon), Emmet Benton/Jacqui Benton (Jem Cartoon)
So for this fandom, let's have a wedding and let the shippy shenanigans begin.
Aja/Craig or Shana/Anthony are both great for this.
Riot/Stormer I think would be interesting because they are both serious music people. Maybe working on something gets a little out of hand?
Adriana/Corvin - Go right to bad romance novel land here
Emmet/Jacqui - Jacqui lives AU please
Pretty much what it says. I love the characters being outrageous, and 80s. A big dramatic wedding is totally my bag.
Riot/Stormer I find interesting because he seems big and loud but has a story under there. Plus I feel like various reactions to that news would be epic.
Crossover Fandom
He-Man | Adam (He-Man 1983)/Castaspella (She-Ra 1985)
Joe Hardy (Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Super Mysteries)/Kimber Benton (Jem and the Holograms Cartoon), Joe Hardy (Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Super Mysteries)/Jessica Wakefield (Sweet Valley High)
Joe Hardy (HB/ND TV)/Kimber Benton (Jem and the Holograms Cartoon)
Zarana (G.I. Joe)/Eric Raymond (Jem and the Holograms cartoon)
I'm just here for the humor and chaos of these pairings.
If you do Joe Hardy (TV) and Kimber please play on the angle that he's played by Shaun Cassidy.
Zarana/Eric - he gets played but maybe enjoys it?
Pretty much what it says.
For He-Man/Casta I like the idea that he’s freer to relax on Etheria.
G.I. Joe (Cartoon)
Cover Girl/Wayne "Beach Head" Sneeden (GI Joe Cartoon), Blaine "Mainframe" L. Parker/Zarana (GI Joe Cartoon), Anastasia "Baroness" DeCobray/Ralph "Steeler" Pulaski (G.I. Joe Cartoon)
Down for a little down time with these couples.
I helped create CG/BH as a shippy couple and I miss them. The other two have a opposites attract vibe that I like.
Dungeons and Dragons (Cartoon)
Eric | The Cavalier/Sheila | The Thief (Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon), Varla/Presto | The Magician (Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon)
Presto/Varla would be great for a return to the Realm story, as would Eric/Sheila
Pretty much what it says. For this pairing I would prefer nothing too explicit (i.e. making out yes, actual sex no - skinny dipping would be acceptable)
Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold
Alys Vorpatril/Padma Vorpatril (Vorkosigan Saga), Ivan Vorpatril/Tej Arqua Vorpatril (Vorkosigan Saga), Gregor Vorbarra/Laisa Toscane Vorbarra (Vorkosigan Saga)
I'm interested in how things could have gone if Padma lived
Ivan/Tej are my very favorites (sweet and sexy) but I also love Gregor and Laisa
Sweet and sexy is the word here, and I’m all in on Winterfair! If you want to spin one of the younger couples into a Padma lives AU, be my guest.
Anne of Green Gables - L. M. Montgomery
Jim/Margaret (AOGG Books), Bertha Willis Shirley/Walter Shirley (AOGG Books), Cornelia Bryant/Marshall Elliott (AOGG books), James Matthew "Jem" Blythe/Faith Meredith (AOGG books)
A little sweet something with any of these couples would be good. For Jem/Faith I'd prefer post WW1.
This time of year I get drawn back to the books.
Captain Jim/Margaret - An AU where she lives? Jim meeting her beyond the bar again?
Anne’s parents - Something with baby Anne - or an AU where they live.
Cornelia/Marshall - Something sweet (and a little tart because Miss Cornelia)
Jem/Faith - Sweet reunion, or maybe her listening to him deal with trauma.
