Crossovering Letter
Dear writer! Thank you for your patience while I finished writing this.
I have below my standard likes/dislikes list, and some feeling about and prompts for each of my fandoms, but what's most important to me is that you have a good time writing it! Don't force yourself to write a prompt just cause I put it up, because enthusiastic fic-writing is the best. If it's good for you, it's a lot more likely to be good for me.
Standard likes/dislikes list:
AUs I like:
Writing dislikes:
Instantaneous or inexplicably fast attraction/relationship/sex. Pointless fic, IMO, unless you want PWP.
Mental torture without H/C or extensive physical torture or rape without H/C. I like it as a plot point, but I care more about the characters than the acts themselvs, so focus on the former, por favor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Marvel Cinematic Universe/Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes: [Crossover or Fusion] I haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy, and the only Netflix I've watched is S1-2 of Agents of SHIELD. The Thor movies weren't my favorite. Anything fun and fluffy, as befits EMH, or H/C, or romantic, will float my boat.
--For a crossover here, I'm 1000% down with the Marvel cliche of some character/s fell through a portal/the FF fucked up and ending up in another universe and then shenanigans while figuring out how to or waiting to get home. I'm down with any EMH character for this, and for MCU I basically just don't want Thor characters of GotG. If you have another idea that's not a beloved cliche, like, idk, astral projection, go straight for it.
Some ideas: MCU character shows up and Jan declares their costume needs redone before they leave. Someone with a crush or a close friendship with a character watches their doppelganger for differences. Brue Banner (MCU) meets Hulk (EMH). One Steve Rogers takes some advice from another Steve Rogers.
--For a fusion, I think it would be cool to see the EMH team foundation story in the MCU, coming together the same way. That is to say, Tony Stark gathers some disparate heroes at his Manhattan location in order to hunt down a bunch of escaped supervillains. How would things change, or stay the same? Or, the animated heroes brought together sight unseen by SHIELD to fight a common enemy? Would they make friends faster than their MCU counterparts? Or would similar tensions arise?
For any story: If my ideas ^ don't float your boat, ditch them. I will 95% probably love it no matter what.
Characters I like: EMH: Tony Stark, Hawkeye, Hulk, Black Widow, Black Panther, Vision. MCU: Tony Stark, Black Widow, Black Panther, Falcon, Winter Soldier. I dig rare pairs, but I'm not fussy, and if you want to go gen I will still be completely down.
Marvel Cinematic Universe/Miraculous Ladybug: [Crossover] Basically I've just been waiting for a fic where the Avengers are recruiting and consider Chat Noir and/or Ladybug. Before or after Civil War, any characters, take them or leave them. Or, and MCU character vacations in Paris and discovers that their help is not required. Ooooooor, some Avengers visit Paris and one of them gets Akumatised! *edits* JK! I have now seen all the episodes, so spoil and hypothesize away!. Basically, anything lighthearted, as befits the ML canon. (Anyone telling off Adrien's father gets a gold star.)
Characters I like: MCU: Tony Stark, Black Widow, Black Panther, Falcon, Winter Soldier. ML: Marinette and her family, Adrien, Nino & Alya, anyone who bitch-slaps Adrien's father, Natalie.
Marvel Cinematic Universe/Leverage: [Crossover or Fusion] I haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy, and the only Netflix I've watched is S1-2 of Agents of SHIELD. The Thor movies weren't my favorite. I've seen all of Leverage. I would like either something shippy or something lighthearted and/or clever for these fandoms.
For a crossover, I have a few ships that I particularly like; to save your eyes if this isn't the fandom we matched on I'll link you to other letters where some prompts are listed under crossover ships. I wouldn't mind ships between any of the people I've listed below, or canon or popular non-canon ships, but no, like, Steve/Sophie, please, and of course gen is fine as well. In general it would be cool if one group came up on another group's radar; they don't even have to meet, if you want to do an entirely outsider POV. You could run it that one group decides to help the other without their knowledge. Or, maybe only a few characters even meet. Maybe Natasha recognizes Sophie conning at an event and the story is a flashback of them. There are wayyy too many options here, so I'll leave it to your imagination.
For a fusion I would adore seeing either the Leverage characters as Avengers (you don't even have to have plot, just give them good super powers and I'll basically be satisfied) or the MCU characters as criminals cum Robin Hoods (same thing; if there's a plot yay, if it's just the first episode all over again with introductions, fine by me).
Characters I like: MCU: Tony Stark, Black Widow, Black Panther, Falcon, Winter Soldier. Leverage: Eliot, Parker, Hardison, Tara, that female hitter Mikel Dayan.
Marvel Cinematic Universe/Sense8: [Fusion] I haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy, and the only Netflix I've watched is S1-2 of Agents of SHIELD. The Thor movies weren't my favorite. I've seen all of Sense8. This could be anything from fluffy to angsty.
I would love something where the MCU characters are sensates, either as a unit (if you can make that make sense) or maybe some of them with other people? Alternately, an event or events from the movies as seen by the sensates. I've listed characters I particularly like below, but this is a tough one, so feel free to use whoever you want.
Characters I like: MCU: Tony Stark, Black Widow, Black Panther, Falcon, Winter Soldier. I dig rare pairs, but I'm not fussy, and if you want to go gen I will still be completely down. Sense8: Lito and Hernando and Dani, Capheus, Sun, Kala.
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes/Miraculous Ladybug: [Crossover]*edits* JK! I have now seen all the episodes, so spoil and hypothesize away! In general, I'm just going for something light-hearted, or with a happy ending.
I would looove to see Chat Noir and Ladybug invited over to NYC to train with the Avengers. Alternately, maybe an Avenger or two is in Paris and gets to watch the French pair in action. Or something out of left field; maybe Ladybug and Chat Noir encounter the Winter Soldier and discover he's been Akumatized the whole time! Ooooooor, some Avengers visit Paris and one of them gets Akumatized!
Characters I like: EMH: Tony Stark, Hawkeye, Hulk, Black Widow, Black Panther, Vision. ML: Marinette and her family, Adrien, Nino & Alya, anyone who bitch-slaps Adrien's father, Natalie.
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes/Leverage: [Crossover or Fusion]
For crossover, pretty much the same as my MCU/Leverage suggestions above, except not with MCU-type ships. I feel that the EMH Avengers would be much more down to collaborate with some unenhanced heroes :)
Fusion-wise, I could see some or all of the Leverage characters as actual superheroes joining the Avengers :)
Characters I like: EMH: Tony Stark, Hawkeye, Hulk, Black Widow, Black Panther, Vision. Leverage: Eliot, Parker, Hardison, Tara, that female hitter Mikel Dayan.
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes/Sense8: [Fusion] Basically just something happy.
The sensates as Avengers. I can see it now :) Alternately, the Avengers (some or all) as sensates, slowly coming together to fight as one (always, until the battle's won).
Characters I like: EMH: Tony Stark, Hawkeye, Hulk, Black Widow, Black Panther, Vision. Sense8: Lito and Hernando and Dani, Capheus, Sun, Kala.
If I haven't been clear on anything, dear writer, feel free to drop an anon comment below and I'll get back to you faster than I was able to write this letter.

Standard likes/dislikes list:
- Happy endings, or at least fulfilling sad endings. But generally happy endings. I like my angst to be healed by the end.
- I really adore misunderstandings in general, and two-sided miscommunications, like when characters are having an argument, or one overhears a convo that means one thing to one side and something totally different to the other.
- I don't mind fluff, but I prefer emotional stories, whatever the emotion. This is inclusive of love, angst, anger, anything.
AUs I like:
- Canon AUs rock, wherein one thing changes and everything after that changes accordingly, or where the universe is intact but most other things are different. This is opposed to a total AU (which I also dig), wherein characters meet at:
- School or college (students or teachers)
- Any sort of professional workplace, from a general store to the UN- massive bonus points if the author has RL experience in said setting
- Sports AU- Particularly if you actually teach me about the sport. Ping pong to Olympic diving, idc.
- IF YOU WRITE SEDORETU YOU GET AN AUTOMATIC WIN EVEN IF IT SUCKS.
- Genderflipped canon AU and Racebending canon AU are great.
- Incubus/succubus AUs, whether a complete AU or just an alternate change to canon, are a soft spot.
Writing dislikes:
Instantaneous or inexplicably fast attraction/relationship/sex. Pointless fic, IMO, unless you want PWP.
Mental torture without H/C or extensive physical torture or rape without H/C. I like it as a plot point, but I care more about the characters than the acts themselvs, so focus on the former, por favor.
