Hello author! Thank you for writing or making art for me!
Things I like: Competence, people learning to be competent, people geeking out over hobbies and interests, superpowers, tough but compassionate characters, plot, after-plot, pairings with long histories, enemies to friends/lovers, shared causes, general acceptance of queerness. I also love AUs where superpowered people still have their powers or an equivalent (like a spaceship, or magic!), plus superpowered or magical AUs in non-superpowered canons.
Things I dislike: Apocalypses(this includes the dystopian X-Men Sentinel future, though mentions of how it didn't happen are fine), non-con and dub-con, adult/underage, teacher/student even if the student is an adult, mundane AUs.
In all fandoms I would love art or fic equally! I particularly like stylised and/or cartoon art, but I enjoy other kinds too. In fic, I don't mind any rating, but am not fond of PWPs. Porn *with* plot is much loved though!
I've tried to leave a lot of detail in my sign-up, but if you have any questions just message my partner
st_aurafina and she will be able to help.
X-Men (movieverse)
Clarice Ferguson/Jubilation Lee
Yashida Mariko/Yukio
Two very different pairings, but in both cases I'd like to see something similar: something about their lives after canon. In the case of Mariko/Yukio, this would be Mariko in charge of the (somewhat ruined) company, possibly still surrounded by danger, with Yukio at her side as her protector. In the case of Jubilee/Clarice, I'd like to see something in the new timeline at the end of the film. Who is Clarice in the brighter future? Does she still need to fight, or are her teleportation skills used for something else? And how does she get to know Jubilee, who has been at the school for a while?
The Bletchley Circle
Jean McBrien/Millie
Jean McBrien/OFC
I loved stern Jean and her "get on with it" attitude, but in both series it seemed that outside the detective work with her friends, she was quite lonely, and reminisced about her time at Bletchley Park not just for the importance of her work (as did the other women) but for the camaraderie and friendship. It would be wonderful to see Jean in a relationship of some kind, whether during the war or in the present day of the show, and to see whether her tough-mindedness carried over into her love life, or whether there is a softer side to her.
MCU (mostly Agents of SHIELD)
Akela Amador/Melinda May
Akela Amador/Natasha Romanov
Jemma Simmons/Skye (MCU)
Peggy Carter/Melinda May's Mother
Victoria Hand/Melinda May
Melinda May/Sif (MCU)
As you can see from my pairing choices, I really enjoy the SHIELD women and would love to read more about them. In this fandom particularly I would like to see some plot (or post-event consequences) for any of the listed characters - to see them working together or against each other with their vast array of skills. If you're making art, an action scene would be great! I don't mind at what point in canon it's set: seeing any of the agents dealing with betrayal and loyalty post-HYDRA takeover would be great, but I would also love fic about training and missions before that. And of course, Sif, Peggy and Melinda May's mother could be up to anything in any era. I don't have personal headcanon about Melinda May's mother's name, so if you need to make one up, go for it!
The Queen's Thief series - Megan Whalen Turner
Attolia/Eddis
I loved the scene in "The King of Attolia" where Eddis and Attolia meet and tell each other their entirely inappropriate given names, and I would love to see more about them, either as younger women or as Queens united against the Medes. They have had very different royal upbringings and rule very differently, and I would love to see what they bring to each other, apart from their shared fondness for Gen. Would Eddis teach Attolia to fight? Would Attolia teach Eddis about the political uses of ceremony? Would they be as loyal to each other as they are to their respective nations, or would they trust only warily? If set in the present-day of the books, I don't mind whether Gen knows about them or not, or whether the relationship goes well or ends in open warfare!
