MCU AU Fest Letter
Still in progress!
Thank you, Artist/Author, for having the great taste to be matched with me :)
All of my prompts are meant to guide, not mandate. If they give you an idea of similar tone, go for it.
[James 'Rhodey' Rhodes/Sam Wilson]James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Sam Wilson:
Canon AU - Happily Married: I'd love for these two to be that one extremely solid relationship on the team. You know the one. They're so much more mature than you and your tentative flirtation, or those on-again-off-again friends, and they just sit over there calmly holding hands and offering sage advice and making investment portfolios and/or tactical plans (I have a weakness for adult relationships, by which I mean maturity, not porn).
AU - Sports: Teammates, competitors, not competing but on the same circuits, coaches and players, administration... There are worlds to discover!! I adore sports AUs so there's very little chance of going wrong.
AU - Modern Military: I would prefer something where at least one if not both of them are still in the military, rather than being vets. Canon or complete AU, although the tag is for complete, I like both. If you know anything about anything military, details are great, but by no means exhaust yourself with research otherwise.
AU - Daemons: Ahhhhhh, how adorably would their daemons interact I want it so much. Canon AU is fine here as well, or- if you do a complete AU, maybe include one of my others as well? I don't really want a coffeeshop AU with daemons tagged on, you know? That is to say, I love HDM fusions but not when the daemons are the only plot.
Canon AU - Accords Signed Differently: The whole thing could have gone so many ways. Honestly whatever you feel like will be good for this.
Canon AU - Differently Powered: GIVE ME BIRD-TALKING SAM!!! IDK WHY THIS WASN'T IN THE MCU
AU - Greek Mythology: Lollll, which gods are they, how did they meet, what sort of adventures do they have? Examples of their godly powers would be sweet.
AU - Harry Potter fusion: Not just Sorting, please. I'd like somethin about relating to classes, or extracurriculars- Quidditch would make sense, because Air Force :D Trying to date inter- or intra-House? Muggle-born or Wizarding World- born? I haven't watched or read anything HP for a while, so I won't be too picky. If you really think you can seel me a Canon fusion, go for it :D
AU - LGBTQ: IDK what this tag was mean to signify, but I interpret it as Sam and Rhodey's interactions happening because of the fact that, or strongly informed by the fact that, one or both of them is LGBTQAI+, and feel free to go obscure if you want on the specifics. Again, canon or complete AU. I've been wanting to see something for a while about the social effects of a Black gay couple on the Avengers, either within the team, from an outsider or media perspective, response from the Air Force, etc, but if that's not your cup of tea I'll take anything. Accords Signed Differently and Happily Married might match up with this, or so could Sports AU, Daemons AU, or Modern Military.
AU - Sedoretu: Sedoretu is one of my favorite things. Any pairings, OCs, if you want to queer up sedoretu that's great too.
AU - Yarn Shop: I love knitting, so this would be fantastic. That's it :)
Canon AU - Always a Different Gender: No specific prompt, other than how would this affect either character's backstroy or characterization?
Canon AU - Transsexual Character: Same as above.
Canon AU - Characters Met Differently: I would love something where Sam and Rhodey met in the Air Force, or even, like, that cliche 'met at a conference and fucked then were introduced formally the next day' :D
Canon AU - Civil War Fix-It: Team Comes Around/Sticks Together: Every relationship in the Avengers will need some repair or refreshing after the events of CA:CW. Platonic or romantic will be fine for this, I just want reunion and having to deal with shit.
Canon AU - Identity Porn: OMG GIVE ME THE THING. SECRET IDENTITY ON THE TEAM LIKE IRON MAN OF YORE. SHENANIGANS. MISCOMMUNICATION. Miscommunicationis one of my favorite things.
Canon AU - Time Travel: I come from the Torchwood/Doctor Who fandom with stops in Supernatural. Any Time Travel trope in MCU will please me.
[Bruce Banner/Natasha Romanov]Bruce Banner/Natasha Romanov:
AU - Modern: No Powers: Free space for any sort of light-hearted thing you can fit in here. I like miscommunication and ensemble fics, as well as people living on each others' couches in shitty apartments in NYC. What can I say, nostalgia.
AU - Modern Military: These are two characters who are very competent in their own ways. I'd like to see them meeting and interacting within the framework of the military, be it on deployment, in training, etc. Any branch, or if Natasha's in classified ops or Bruce is under Rhodey in R&D.
AU - D/s-verse: This can be canon or complete AU, whichever you prefer. You can pair it with any no powers AU as above, or see how thier relationship on the Avengers would be affected by dynamics.
Canon AU - Accords Signed Differently: There were so many ways the Civil War could have played out. Would Bruce have come back for one of them? Would Natasha track him down? Do they meet up through forces outside their control?
AU - College/University: Sweet shippy fluff, or as much as college can get. I'm a tiny bit miserable in college right now, so I wouldn't mind seeing this pair suffer and succeed.
AU - Corporate Espionage: The story of Natalie, Bruce's new lab assistant. Or, Natasha, the hired independant investigator to find the leak in the lab. IDK I can just see this trope working so well for these two!
AU - Greek Mythology: Ahhh, just tell me what they're gods of and some of their adventures :)
AU - Mermaids & Mermen: Literally anything :D
AU - Musicians: I would love something really sceney, since I know nothing of scenes, or just anything about passion for music.
AU - Olympics: Any sports. Competitors, teammates, coaches. I just love the romance of the Olympics, and I could see Natasha as super competitive and Bruce just focused on the art.
AU - Sedoretu: Sedoretu is my favorite thing so basically anything you write will win. Any pairings, don't be afraid to queer it up if you want.
AU - single parent: I want to see one of them with a teenage kid, and trying to date around that.
AU - Witches/Warlocks: Fantasy AU :D What sort of magic do they do? What's the community like?
AU - Yarn Shop: I just love knitting so anything will work for this. Details if you know them!
Canon AU - Character Tampers with the Events of the Timeline: I come from the Doctor Who/Torchwood fandom, so I love time travel stories. Any sort of machinations in the timeline for any reason will make me happy, particularly if there are loops or traps, or someone has to figure out some dangerous time travel trick :)
[Luke Cage/Jessica Jones]Luke Cage/Jessica Jones:
AU - Sports: Dude imagine all that muscle and pure stubbornness on a field or a floor or a stadium. Claire the trainer is going to have her work cut out for her. Any sport/s!
AU - Modern Military: I think it'd be cool to see these two in the same unit, with the support of an instiution like hte military rather than how they are as Defenders, perhaps working in a group but still sort of on their own.
AU - Daemons: For all the ups and downs their relationship goes through, some things never change.
AU - D/s-verse: This woud mostly just be super hot, ngl
AU - A/B/O: ^^ Although the societal dimension would be interesting as well.
AU - Bookstore: Jessica works at a bookstore. Why? I don't know, she certainly doesn't /want/ to work at a bookstore. But then Mr. Delicious walks in and suddenly she has something to look forward to on Tuesdays at 3:30.
AU - Catboys & Catgirls: See A/B/O.
AU - Law Enforcement: Their methods don't really mesh, and there's been more than one write-up for fights in the precinct. But their success rate is nearly unmatchable.
AU - Medical: They met at when Trish was in rehab and Reva was in a coma and made unlikely friends. A year or two out, a lot has changed.
AU - Musicians: They don't run in the same circles at all, and all of their friends are confused when they start hanging out in studios together.
AU - Sedoretu: This is my favorite thing, so really absolutely anything goes!
AU - single parent: Jessica does /not/ want to date a guy with kids. Too bad she got hooked on her neighborhood barkeep before she heard about Danielle.
[James 'Bucky' Barnes/Sam Wilson]James "Bucky" Barnes/Sam Wilson:
AU - Modern: No Powers: A catch-all for any complete AU where Steve's two friends cannot get along and it's hilarious.
AU - Modern Military: Steve's whole unit is closer than any other. But within that, some things are sacred.
AU - Sports: Even when they're on the same team, the competitiveness is out of control. Any sport, just snark and fun and bruises (and kisses)
AU - Catboys & Catgirls: Someone has to purr, that's my only requirement. Otherwise, all of the cute, and anst would not go amiss :)
Canon AU - Accords Signed Differently: The Avengers had more time to discuss the Accords and come to an agreement within the team. Zemo's plan goes into effect right after all or none of the Avengers signed.
AU - A/B/O: Snarly Bucky and totally-not-jealous Sam, cooped up in Wakanda with their hormones.
AU - College/University: When Steve's longtime bestie returned from his semester abroad, everyone expected him to gel with new friend Sam instantly. That was not the case. Jealousy, snark, mean comments, dating shenanigans, anything!
AU - Greek Mythology: Historical it's not a good thing when two gods have it out for each other. The rest of the Pantheon tries to get to the bottom of Sam and Bucky's latest feud.
AU - Medical: Sam and Bucky are in a massive competition amongst the staff of their hospital, on everything from who's the best flirt, to who patients like more, to most overtime or best case closure rate, most volunteer hours, who's funnier. Both have come to hate their greedy and show-off opponent. Only, they work in departments on opposite ends of the building and have never met.
AU - Mermaids & Mermen: Literally anything omg.
AU - Musicians: The only time they get along is when they're making music. Can be solo artists or in a group with others.
AU - Sedoretu: Ahhh, anything at all. Sedoretu is my absolute fav.
AU - Witches/Warlocks: Avengers, but with magic, or, like, D&D esque AU. Sam and Bucky's methods don't work together in the same band. Will they come up with a compromise, or ruin the quest for everyone?
Canon AU - Civil War Fix-It: Team Comes Around/Sticks Together: Sam and Bucky became close in Wakanda. When the team reunites and its member try to rebuild their relationship,s Bucky feels left out.
