SSR Confidential letter

Apr 29, 2021 22:11

Dear writer:

Thanks so much for writing for me! I'm so excited to see what you write. I absolutely love Agent Carter and am thrilled about the exchange :D

My AO3 name is ivy.


Things that I like: setting, worldbuilding, people having complicated feelings before love, enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, fake dating, having to go undercover for a mission, actual going on missions with no romantic component, forced proximity. Competence is my jam! Also casefic, I love casefic, and since this is the MCU there is also the lovely angle of weird supernatural things happening.

Dislike: I really like the setting of the post-war 40s and would prefer no mundane/modern AUs, but I don't mind canon-divergence. Also, Jack lives - I refuse to believe that gunshot is fatal.

More specific prompts:
Peggy/Jack
I really love how they come from such different places at the start of the show. Specifically I love that Peggy's really, really good at being a spy and investigating cases, and despite an obviously impressive war record, can't get the recognition for it; Jack, while also pretty decent at what he does, is pretending to everyone about happened to Okinawa and his Navy Cross. I absolutely love that both of them realize the true nature of the other during the show and that Jack shared that incredibly damaging and personal story with Peggy - I'm not sure anyone else knows. I also love that both of them are pretty stroppy and they can both dish it and take it - potential for a lot of teasing and banter there!

I would love to see them on some kind of mission together, I feel like they bicker in the office but once it's boots on the ground, they work together flawlessly (Belarus, figuring out what Leviathan wanted to do in New York). What if they have to pretend to be a couple or they're assumed to be one and they agree to keep to it to get the mission done and then oops, feelings happen? Prolonged stressful situation - they burn off some of that adrenaline together. They get captured and one of them cracks at the other getting hurt, which they then have to try to deal with (both in escaping and then confronting their feelings after, or during). More iddy scenarios - their captors force them to do things (intimate or sexual), feelings result!

Peggy/Jack/Daniel + Peggy & Jack & Daniel
I love their dynamic and how they balance each other out. The push-pull and the different ways all three of them relate to each other. Daniel and Peggy are pretty sweet, though they can get confrontational sometimes, they work great. Jack and Daniel have a somewhat sharper one - I love Daniel's sarcasm - but Jack's trying to be nice in S2 and seems to genuinely want to be friends. And Jack and Peggy have a mutual underlying respect but plenty of conflict too. So much good stuff to explore!

Would love to see the three of the go on cases - what if one of them gets separated on a dangerous case and the other two have to work together and worry about the third (maybe reluctantly worrying, trying not to think about it and failing). I love their dynamic post 1x5 Iron Curtain, what with the revelations - suppose Dooley makes them work together! Post canon, SSR -> SHIELD with the three of them? The 40s isn't exactly the greatest time to be in a threesome publicly - are they pretending at work to be just colleagues but actually exchanging barbs that are inside jokes with straight faces? Also see same prompts above from Peggy/Jack!

Peggy & Dottie
I absolutely love Dottie as sort of the dark mirror to Peggy. She's equal to Peggy in the fighting department, she's been trained gruelingly in every way to be the perfect spy in the anglosphere. But the way the two of them acquired these skills couldn't be more difficult - we don't even know how Dottie ended up in the Red Room program. Orphaned? Taken? No idea. But I love that Dottie and Peggy interact so much across the two seasons. Dottie clearly has complicated feelings about Peggy - the way Dottie sneaks into Peggy's room at the Griffith and pokes through everything and tries on Peggy's voice and mannerisms, the way Dottie won't talk to Jack but is wants to play this cat and mouse game with Peggy, it's all so good.

I loved that Peggy broke Dottie out of jail to help them out - I would love any team up of the two of them, reluctant, "one mission only (or so you think)", or maybe even Peggy bringing Dottie in. Dottie is unsurprised that Leviathan has completely dropped her - she's clearly fascinated by Peggy - what if Dottie is brought into the SSR/SHIELD and Peggy acts as her handler? Peggy runs unexpectedly into Dottie while doing something else and they team up, or try to sabotage each other first before deciding to work together. Actual facts about why Dottie was stealing that Arena Club pin/key thing, since the show will never get to tell us ;_;
