Rare Male Slash Exchange Letter
So sorry to my poor writer for the lack of any details in my sign up, it's not that I'm not that interested, I promise. I'm on holiday and only happened to find this challenge shortly before sign ups closed. It was like, super late where I am, so I quickly signed up and went to bed, thinking sign ups would close at midnight in the US and that I'd have a few hours after i woke up to edit it and add details. I was wrong.
So here's my letter, still adding details but wanted to unlock it asap.
Likes - character driven stories that focus on relationships (plot optional), first times, Big Reveals, all the tropes (eg sex pollen, undercover as gay, forced to share a bed etc etc)
DNW - Rape, extreme kink, character death, partner betrayal, mundane AUs (eg coffee shop, high school), established relationship
Barry (TV 2018)
Barry Berkman/NoHo Hank
I mainlined this show like, two days ago, and am intrigued by NoHo Hank's obvious crush on Barry. Am open to however you are inspired to get them together. Obviously not expecting a falling-in-love-and-living-happily-ever-after romance for these two (though if you felt you could make it work, I'm game), but i would like some kind of bond or hard-won respect or some connection - NOT hatesex.
Having said that, this is a dark show, so if you wanted to explore that and have Barry and NoHo Hank doing some murdering together - perhaps NoHo Hank wants to learn from the best *G*. Alternatively, the both of them trying to go straight and the ensuing hijinks could be fun. Or perhaps Barry has Detective Moss tied up in a basement somewhere while he tries to figure out how to NOT kill her and NoHo Hank helps guard her. Just some ideas to work with, feel free to ignore.
New Blood (TV)
(Stefan Kowolski/Rash Sayyad)
These two are adorable and totally deserved another season to wrap up the storyline with the gangster whose apartment they've moved into. So if you'd like to write something at all plotty, you could do that, but I am all about the relationship so happy to ignore it and have them keep the swanky flat. Basically the boys being their snarky adorable selves, discovering feelings for each other with optional pining/angst/exploring previously unsuspected sexuality.
Black Sails
(Captain Flint/Charles Vane)
Happy for you to go as AU as you like with this to make this pairing viable.
Will come back to this soon when I think of an optional prompt (in case you prefer more guidance)
Whitechapel (TV)
(Joseph Chandler/Emerson Kent)
Chandler's one of my all time favourite characters, for the depiction of a genderqueer character who struggles to connect with people, and with a disability that impacts his work and his determination to not allow it to stop him saving people. And he's played by the adorable Rupert Penry Jones. I love him.
I love that Kent's crush is canonical and consistently referenced in the show and that he's flawed himself with his dark impulses and his jealousy and his determination to be better for Chandler and I was so happy for them when the show hinted at a possibility of something for them right before they crushed us like tiny bugs and then got cancelled.
So many possibilities, happy with all sorts of fic, something that resolves the Iver storyline, or another case with canon-like horror themes, or hell, a zombie apocalypse...hee, they've trained for it...sort of.
Or ignore all of that completely and assume this takes place sometime after the show finale and the case is solved and Chandler's no longer traumatised. Kent trying to woo Chandler, or Chandler getting a clue, or accidental snuggling/bed sharing or sex pollen or any other trope, I love me a trope.
