Yule 2010
Dear Yulegoat/hippo/entity of your chosing,
HI! I am so excited that one of my requests is going to get written I can barely contain the squee.
I am hideously easy to please, seriously, i embarrass myself sometimes, and am the very definition of eclectic tastes. I can't think of one genre or subgenre of fic that I don't love, from five things to pwp and apocafic to ballerina AUs, and care bears bdsm long and plotty happy genfic. I do very much enjoy some element of humour, even if it is, and in fact, especially if it's dark. I read gen and slash and het, so if you're happier writing any of the characters I've suggested as friends rather than in 'ships, then go that way.
A previous letter is here http://everywherestars.livejournal.com/11942.html if you require further insight into my twisted mind and I am always lurking in #yuletide if you want to come and play.
All of my ideas and suggestions below are just that, so write what you're happiest writing and I'm positive I'll love it. OPTIONAL DETAILS ARE OPTIONAL
Onwards!
Richard Marx - Hazard - Boy, Mary
Request - I'd love to read anything that explores anything mentioned in the song. His early childhood, what really happened to Mary, what happened to him after? Did he *really* leave her by the river? I can't decide whether I think he killed her or if he was totally innocent, so wherever you go with it is entirely up to you.
Further details - I really *really* want to know what happened to Mary. Every time I hear this song i have a sense of unfulfillment, did she run away? did he kill her? did someone else get to her? what happened to him after? He swore he left her by the river! How could she just leave like that, it was love! And yes, I know I'm a little overly invested in a melodramatic ballad from the early 90s, but Poor Mary and poor man, shunned since childhood, what did he ever do to deserve that? *sobs quietly*
Haven TV- Audrey, Nathan, Duke
I love this trio utterly, whether as friends or romantically. Their snark and spark and banter just makes my heart sing. Any explorations of the relationship between them would be wonderful, be it on a new case or hashing over the last scene of the last episode or trying to work out if Duke can make Nathan feel too. Bonus points for lighthearted bickering.
Further details - If ever there was an OT3 that stole my heart, this was it. I absolutely love the relationship between Duke and Nathan and Audrey. Other ideas from the ones in the request could be Audrey musing on these two men who she's let into her life or hijinks while Duke is trying to hide a crime from the others and failing utterly. Gen is perfectly great with this, but if you want to go with a relationship that's slightly more than pg-13, either new or established, that would be pretty awesome also.
Sports Night - Dan, Casey
Oh Dan and Casey, I just want to see more of you being you. At a ball game, when Casey finally gets Dan to see the Starland Vocal Band, sitting without pants on waiting for the show to start, writing a script or takeout after a show. Anything goes here, throw in an apocalypse or send them into space. Have them in an established relationship or write about their first kiss, or just how two men can be best friends for more than 20 years and not run out of things to talk about.
Further details - This is one of my fav fandoms in ever and having recently rewatched the entire series from beginning to end, my love has been renewed. With this fandom, snarky smart banter is king and if none of the above float your boat, then reading something that looks at what happened to the guys following quo vadimus would be awesome.
The Wire - Any
I had such a hard time trying to pick characters for this that I've gone with any in the end. And yes, I truly would be happy with any. If you feel like some small prompting, then these may not necessarily be the characters I *like* most, but McNulty, Stringer Bell, Bodie, Poot, Wallace, Dukie and Freamon are the ones that immediately pop to mind when I think about who I want to know more about. Go where the winds take you with this, so a turning point in McNulty's life where he decides that today he'll stop drinking, or a bit of an AU on how Stringer Bell managed to legitimise things and change the business, what Omar really wanted to do with his life, Bodie and Poot squabbling over something trivial, or maybe the school kids two grades on.
Further details - The Wire stole my heart and my breath away when I first watched it, and having the DVD boxset has just made me watch it over and over again. Any really does mean any here, and the suggestions above are what I conjured up in about 30 seconds. As an aside, I know this show used problematic language and I am perfectly happy with this in a fic as long as it’s not out of character, although feel free to exclude if it’s not something you’re comfortable with.
