Rare Slash Exchange Letter
Hi, mystery buddy! Sorry for the delay in getting back to LJ. First of all, thank you for being my gift writer, and I hope you have a great time with whatever you decide to write!
Thoughts, details, story ideas below; if nothing catches your eye, by all means just do what's interesting for you. Please get in touch on anon or through the mods if I can answer any questions!
Silicon Valley (TV)
Dinesh Chugtai/Bertram Gilfoyle
Dinesh Chugtai/Jared Dunn
Richard Hendricks/Ron LaFlamme
Jared Dunn/Ron LaFlamme
- Listen, I'm full of terribly complicated thoughts and feelings about the characters and relationships on this show because of my unresolved issues as a queer software brat, but according to the signup summary I was the only person who signed up to write Silicon Valley, so I'm spared having to come up with detailed requests this time around. TBF it is kind of a relief, because I requested too many things this year.
- (Okay, I don't have any complicated feelings about Ron LaFlamme obviously, those pairings are just there because he's very handsome, I'm not made of stone.)
The Exorcist (TV)
Marcus Keane/Tomas Ortega
- NGL, I want excitement and adventure and really wild things, because we got CANCELLED ON A CLIFFHANGER and all.
Marcus Keane/Peter Osborne
- just bundle me up in a warm Pacific Northwest sweater and tell me all about the missing months
Devon Bennett/Marcus Keane
- pre-series shenanigans?
Marcus Keane/Andy Kim
- canon-divergent AU with accidental foster family acquisition? eh???
Devon Bennett/Marcus Keane/Tomas Ortega
- TIME TO GO RESCUE BENNETT FROM THE S2 FINALE!
Westworld (TV)
- Westworld! You volunteered to write this? In the middle of this season? I admire your moxie. Let's go fuck some shit up.
- I usually don't bother enumerating my DNWs anymore because it's just the stuff that people can mostly be trusted not to unsolicitedly drop into a story anyway. But considering the nature of this particular canon, I should be specific! DNW: explicit sexual violence; really graphic descriptions of physical violence - like, I realize what show this is, but I watch a lot of it with my hands over my face, don't judge me; onscreen depiction of people taking advantage of hosts' memory-wipes for sexual purposes (reference to such things having happened in the past is OK); abuse or assault within requested pairings.
Logan/William (Westworld)
- I wasn't that interested in this in S1 -- I mean, the sexual tension was obviously there but I wasn't invested storywise -- but now Logan is so much more interesting! he has insight into the Delos project that others seem to lack, if his little speech while shooting up outside the party is any indication. A canon-divergent version of his story where he tries to do something about it? (Or even a canon-compliant version of the same thing, tracing his offscreen decline as he fails?)
- I'll still be interested in this after it all gets inevitably jossed this Sunday, lol.
Hector Escaton/Lee Sizemore
- this could be fucking hilarious? or weirdly serious?
Logan Delos/Hector Escaton
- they are very good-looking and they also look really alike, so it just makes sense that they should bang
- but I would totally be on board with something more plot-related. with Old Man Logan in the later timeline? or a whole ass canon-divergent AU where Logan falls in love with a fucking robot?
Hector Escaton/Teddy Flood
- whoops
[edit 6/11: or possibly not whoops? who the fuck even knows what's going on with Teddy? fuck, if you have an idea, go for it.]
Bernard Lowe/Ashley Stubbs
- whoops? or possibly brilliant? I mean, if you have something, I'm on board.
Madam Secretary
- I'm slightly behind on MSec, but I requested it anyway because things change so slowly on CBS shows that I'm not super concerned about any ship among the main cast being jossed.
- I don't understand why there isn't tons of slash for this show? I mean, I do understand, it's the same reason the show is ignored in general by pop culture while The West Wing is still so friggin' worshipped decades later, it's because it's a woman-led show with a diverse cast. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jay Whitman/Matt Mahoney
- http://sidleyparkhermit.tumblr.com/post/167109747110/i-have-a-question-how-is-this-ship-not-a-thing
Blake Moran/Matt Mahoney
Blake Moran/Jay Whitman- give! Blake! a boyfriend! give! Matt! something to do! give! Jay! a sexual identity crisis that lends a new dimension to his recurring LGBT-related plotlines!
Hannibal (TV)
Jimmy Price/Brian Zeller
- My happy place pairing! How can this possibly be rare enough to qualify for the fest? Anyhoo I'd like them to solve a mystery or something.
Dr. Frederick Chilton/Will Graham- I'm here for the canon-divergent AUs. In case that is not visible from how much time I spend 1) hating on and 2) still thinking about this show.
Askewniverse
Jay/Silent Bob
- This one's just for fun. Maybe they've had more supernatural/science-fictional adventures? Cross over with some other canons? They are an especially portable pair. Or maybe we could catch up with them in (god I feel old saying this) the present day? By the way, is Silent Bob as "silent" in an era where people are spending more time typing to each other than actually speaking?
