Ships Crossing Letter

[saiditallbefore]

Dear Writer,

I'm sure I'll like whatever you make for me, so just have fun! I know there are some characters/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 character, I would be happy to see just about anything for them!

Talia al Ghul (DCU C)/Natasha Romanov (MCU)

Breanna Casey (Leverage)/Mia Dearden (DC Comics)
I absolutely adore Mia and I'm so glad she's back in continuity! <3 She's so resilient, and a complicated combination of tough and fragile, and she's so determined to make the most of her life. I love her so much. And Breanna!!! She's this great mix of jaded about the world and really really earnest. I love that she has her own technical skills separate from Hardison's, and I love that part of what brought her into the Leverage crew was her admiration of Hardison and wanting to do the kind of thing he does but in her own way. I also love seeing her become more confident and get better at all parts of the con as time goes on, and how her relationships with each member of the crew deepen.

I just think they'd be interesting together! Breanna isn't quite a vigilante, but I think she and Mia have similar senses of justice. And while their backgrounds aren't the same (Mia's childhood was a lot rougher), I think they would definitely understand where the other is coming from. Maybe the Leverage crew crosses paths with some of the Arrowfam, only to realize they're targeting the same person, and Mia and Breanna end up working together? Maybe Mia and Breanna meet as civilians and each realize there's more to the other later?

Breanna Casey (Leverage)/Natasha Irons (DC Comics)
I haven't read nearly as much about Natasha as I want to, but I love what I have read! Honestly, this is one where I just kind of think they would be fun together? Black queer women, both great with computers? They do different kinds of engineering, but you can't tell me that Breanna wouldn't be totally into the idea of an armored suit. I don't know; feel free to go wild.

Eve Baird (The Librarians)/Dinah Lance (DC Comics)
I love Dinah; she's everything. I love her with the Arrowfam, love her with the JSA, love her with the Birds of Prey, love her on her own. She's a badass martial artist who just happens to have superpowers; she can be prickly and difficult, but she also cares really deeply and she's very protective of the people she cares about. I find it so fascinating that she's a little bit afraid of her own capabilities-- she knows all too well that she's capable of killing people, but that's not the kind of person she wants to be.

Eve is another character who is just so good at what she does! She's a fighter and she's sometimes out of her depth with the magic stuff, but she's great at learning on the job. She's not what I would call a nurturing character, but she is a protective one, and she will do everything in her power to keep the people under her protection-- whether that be the Librarians or civilians or someone else-- from getting hurt.

Maybe some magical shenanigans lead to Eve ending up in the DC universe? Or maybe the two universes were always one, however you decide that works. Maybe something Dinah is investigating with the Birds of Prey leads her into contact with Eve and the Librarians. I just think they'd be a really fun (and hot!) duo!

Cassandra Cillian (The Librarians)/Zatanna Zatara (DC Comics)
I think the two of them would be cute together! Cassandra would be really interested in Zatanna's brand of magic, and I think it would be really cool for her to be involved with a magician who is interested in helping people rather than taking over the world or whatever. And I think it would be great for Zatanna to have a slightly less dysfunctional relationship for once. I also think it would be really cool to see them work together-- maybe they find out they're working on the same case and end up collaborating?

Rachel Elizabeth Dare (Percy Jackson)/Connor Hawke (DC Comics)
I just think these two would vibe well together! They have a similar sense of justice and they care very deeply about similar things. I'd love to see the two of them get caught up in either godly or superhero problems (or both!) and figure out very quickly that the other person is very used to this kind of thing. Or maybe something where each of them is convinced that the other is one of their few totally normal friends, removed from the craziness in their lives, and then they discover the truth.

I haven't read anything past the Heroes of Olympus series, so please don't include any PJO canon past that.

El Higgins (Scholomance) & Murderbot (Murderbot)
I love El so so so much. She's prickly and she's angry and she doesn't like most people, and she has the power to destroy entire civilizations at her fingertips, and she still chooses— constantly chooses, at each juncture— to do good. She's not nice, but she's kind. And I love her journey from hating the system but accepting it as the way things are to actively turning it on its head.

I have so many feelings about her-- about how she has the powers to destroy anything and everything at her fingertips and every single day she chooses not to do that. About how she's angry and unforgiving and not particularly nice, but she's still so capable of kindness, and how she's so cynical about how the world works and she still saves it with the powers of love and friendship (with a little bit of incredible violence backing those up).

I just think El and Murderbot have a lot in common-- saving people while also kind of hating people, not understanding why people want to be their friends, feeling like a monster but choosing to do the right thing anyway-- and I think it would be very fun to see them interact.

Chelli Lona Aphra (Star Wars)/River Song (Doctor Who)
I absolutely adore Aphra. I love how amoral and self-serving she is, even when she's perfectly aware that she's only hurting herself in the long term. I love how smart she is, and how those smarts get her both into and out of trouble. Like Mar-Mas Voor says, she always looks after herself, she always betrays people, and she always feels guilty afterward. 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!
