Fic In A Box 2020
Dear Creator,
I'm sure I'll like whatever you make for me, so just have fun! I know this letter got a little long, and there are some pairings that have more prompts than others, but that just means I had a lot of ideas for those (or had a past letter to copy & paste from). If I requested a pairing, I would be happy to see just about anything for them!
I didn't specifically ask for any art mediums, but if you want to create art as a gift for me, I have included some art likes below.
I’m saiditallbefore on AO3.
Things I like:
Smut Likes:
These are in addition to my specific requests freeform tag requests.
Art-specific likes + notes:
I am terrible at art, myself, and am very impressed by anyone who can create fanart. I've tried to provide art-friendly prompts in the relevant canons, but in case those don't work for you, here are a few extra likes:
DNWs:
MCU-specific notes: I hated Infinity War and have mixed feelings on Endgame. That said, if you want to incorporate Endgame canon into my gift, I’m good with that (and have included some prompts for that below). My only fandom-specific DNWs: no focus on the other half of the pairing being Snapped (fine with references to it, but don’t make it the focus of the entire fic, and please end with some sort of hopeful note), and please no reference to Natasha's or Gamora's deaths. I don’t care how you handwave it (unless that is specified with the freeform we matched on); I want them alive in my giftfics.
Star Wars-specific notes: I'm always here for everyone lives AUs for Rogue One. This is Star Wars, so please feel free to make things completely cracky or to tug on my heartstrings!
Narnia-specific notes: I would really rather not receive a "Problem of Susan" type of story, but if you set it after her adventures in Narnia are concluded, I would rather the story focus on her feelings about her current adventures, rather than on bitterness about the past. Please feel free to disregard The Last Battle altogether, if you like.
Toph Beifong & Zuko
My favorite BroTP in this show! I love that Toph has a slightly different relationship with Zuko than the rest of the Gaang, and that she's one of the first to warm up to him. I love that they both come from a notably higher class than the rest of the Gaang, and that they've both rebelled against that in their own ways. They're both kind of damaged and prickly (Zuko more so than Toph, though she has plenty of issues of her own!), and I love to see how their issues play off of each other. I really love fic where they start looking at each other as surrogate siblings (even if they would never admit it out loud).
Marta Cabrera (Knives Out)/Grace Le Domas (Ready or Not)
They're both survivors, in their own way, thrown into situations far beyond them. I love that Marta is smart and kind and capable, and I love that Grace is adaptable, and wants to believe in her new family, right up until they've shown her that she really can't. I would love to see Marta and Grace bonding about shitty rich people, or solving a murder, or escaping a new horror scenario together.
Monica Rambeau & Talos's Daughter (MCU) in The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
We didn't see much of Talos's daughter in Captain Marvel, but the little we did see was very cute! And I love Monica-- she's stubborn and smart and full of heart. I like to think that she and Talos's daughter somehow kept in touch after the events of Captain Marvel. As for how they ended up in The Lord of the Rings or what happens next... Please, go wild.
Nakia (BP) & Okoye (BP) & Valkyrie (Thor)
I love the contrasts between Nakia and Okoye-- they’re both so brilliant and so loyal to Wakanda, but their ideals and their thoughts on what’s best for what’s best for Wakanda and the rest of the world are a little different. Meanwhile, I think Valkyrie has a different idea of loyalty altogether-- she's loyal to her king, to a point, but she's also very cynical because of all that she's seen.
How do the three of them come together? Maybe they're working together during the five-year timeskip in Endgame, or maybe post-Endgame. Or maybe this is an AU where New Asgard has been established in Wakanda, and Valkyrie has to work with Okoye and Nakia to coordinate that.
Angie Martinelli (AC TV)/Lucy Pevensie (Narnia)
I adored Angie-- she's cheerful, and confident in herself, and very grounded. And Lucy might just be my favorite Pevensie sibling: she's optimistic and sincere and she believes with her whole heart. I'd love to see what they're like together! How do they meet? Is Lucy a customer at the automat where Angie works, or do they both room at the Griffith?
(Feel free to combine this with the Peggy/Susan prompt below, if you like.)
Boudicca (Historical RPF)/Andy/Quynh (TOG movie 2020)
I have some more thoughts about Andy/Quynh below, but mostly I just want you to go wild here. I'm a very casual Boudicca fan, but I'm fascinated by her. We know very little about her, but she was powerful and charismatic enough for her enemies to write about her, and for stories about her to be passed down to present day. What does she think of Andy and Quynh? Does this change the result of her uprising at all? Does this even take place at the time of her uprising?
Valkyrie (Thor)/Minn-Erva (Captain Marvel)
Cosmic warrior women who have both gotten cynical and sick of everyone's shit! I think they've both been burned by their faith in the cause before, but in Minn-Erva's case, it happened much more recently. I'd love to see them commiserate, or play off of each other, or have fighty sex, or go on space adventures-- or all of the above.
Carol Danvers (MCU) & Mara Jade (SW Legends)
I absolutely love Carol so much. I love her recklessness and her sense of humor and how she keeps getting up every time she gets knocked down. And I love that Mara is kind of morally gray, and ambivalent about her own place in the universe. I think how well the two of them get along would depend on where the two of them are in their personal journeys: are we talking about Vers and the Emperor's Hand? Or are we talking about Carol and Mara, just as themselves? (Or are we mixing it up a bit?) Either way, I'd love some space adventures.
Chelli Lona Aphra (SW: Marvel Comics)/River Song (DW 2005)
I'm not fully caught up with all of Aphra's comics, but I have listened to the Doctor Aphra book, and I adore her. She's kind of a sociopath, but she's so delightful! I also really love River Song-- she's charming and adventurous and also willing to shoot first and ask questions later. And they're both SPACE ARCHAEOLOGISTS! They could be rivals, or work together, or meet on a dig (which one or both of them would almost certainly be at illicitly)! The possibilities are endless!
James "Bucky" Barnes (Captain America)/Jane Foster (Thor)
Crazy adventures plus Jane's love of SCIENCE would be amazing. Maybe the remains of HYDRA or some other organization is after Jane's research, and she crosses paths with Bucky that way? Or maybe something set IN SPACE, or after Endgame? Or honestly anything because I'm a sucker for this crackship <3
Natasha Romanov (MCU)/Andy (TOG movie 2020)
Natasha is one of my absolute faves. I love how she’s grown and changed in the time we’ve seen her-- from the closed-off agent we first see in IM2 and Avengers to the team leader we see in Endgame. Meanwhile, Andy is thousands of years old, has seen it all and done it all, and has to reckon with being mortal again. I'm interested in how they might interact-- does Natasha hire Andy and her team for a job? Do they work together during the five year timeskip after the Snap? Is Natasha a new immortal?
Peggy Carter (AC TV)/Susan Pevensie (Narnia)
Peggy is just fantastic-- she's pragmatic, with a clear-eyed view of the world. When the world tries to stop her from doing what she thinks is right, she makes her own path. As for Susan, I love that she's sensible, and clever, and kind. Do they both work for the SSR? Do they both live at the Griffith? Do they somehow cross paths another way?
(Feel free to combine this with the Angie/Lucy prompt above, if you like.)
Pepper Potts (MCU)/Andy (TOG movie 2020)
Pepper is one of the most polished and competent women in the MCU-- she always seems to be on top of everything. I love it when things happen that she's just not prepared for, and she just doesn't know how to react-- at first. And then she picks back up and keeps going. I'm interested in how she might react to Andy-- and in how they meet! I think the possible situations here are similar to Natasha, above. Maybe Pepper hires Andy and her team for a job, or Andy and her team are looking into Stark Industries for another job, or maybe Pepper is a new immortal.
I don't feel strongly either way about Morgan-- feel free to include her or not if you want, but please don't make Tony or anyone's grief about Tony the centerpoint of Pepper's life or of the story.
Andy | Andromache of Scythia/Nile Freeman
I absolutely love these two! I love how competent they both are-- Nile is clearly great at what she does (she's a Marine!) but Andy has so much experience that she just cannot keep up during that fight on the airplane. And when they work together, they're unstoppable. One of the things I really like about their dynamic is that Nile is young and optimistic and brand-new to immortality, but Andy has seen it all and done it all-- and now has to reckon with being mortal again.
Andy | Andromache of Scythia/Quynh
The scene where Quynh and Andy are captured and Quynh is drowned is heartbreaking. And during the movie, Andy is wearing Quynh's necklace! We see so little of the two of them, but what we do see implies that the two of them were intensely in-sync with each other. I'd love to see more of that dynamic; I'm sure they had lots of adventures pre-canon!
Nile Freeman/Quynh
They never meet in the movie, but the dream Nile has of Quynh's death clearly effects her deeply. Do they keep dreaming of each other? Nile is still pretty new at this business, although she's gotten a taste of exactly how wrong it can go, and Quynh has been tortured for the past five hundred or so years. What happens when they finally meet? Or maybe they get thrown into a situation where the two of them have to work together against a common enemy, and come to understand each other?
Jyn Erso & Mara Jade
Anytime in Mara’s personal timeline, tbh. I would love Jyn meeting Mara and them having to work together (or even falling for each other, or maybe just having a complicated fling) because Jyn understands that sometimes things are more complex than just good vs. evil.
Jyn Erso/Leia Organa
I’d love something post-canon with the two of them working together in the Rebellion. Maybe they team up on a mission together? Or Jyn doesn’t want to admit that she admires the spoiled princess from Alderaan-- and then finds out how good with a blaster Leia is?
Enfys Nest/Jyn Erso
While both of these women are very straightforward and practical, Enfys seems much more...not idealistic, exactly. But willing to fight for change? While Jyn just wants to be left alone when we first meet her. I'd love to see how they interact!
Leia Organa/Enfys Nest
Both are revolutionaries, although their methods are different-- I think Enfys comes from outside the system, while Leia learned to work within it (she was a senator, after all). We don't know much about Enfys's past, so anything you want to come up with to fill in the gaps there would be great. I just want these two playing off of each other!
Leia Organa/Qi'ra
I really want Leia and Qi'ra to meet! They're both very driven, but I think they'd almost certainly be on different sides. I think Leia could be as ruthless as Qi'ra if she had to be, but I don't think it comes naturally to her. I would love a situation where they're forced to work together, or to negotiate something, or if they're frenemies of some kind who keep meeting.
Qi'ra/Jyn Erso
Maybe Jyn joins up with Crimson Dawn sometime post-Solo (but pre-Rogue One) and Qi’ra takes her under her wing? Or do they cross paths a bit later in life, when Jyn is part of the Rebellion? (Maybe Rebel spy Jyn is sent on a mission to infiltrate Crimson Dawn and Qi’ra totally knows she’s a spy but toys with her anyway?)
