MCU Ladies Exchange Letter
Jan. 11th, 2016 03:17 pmDear MCU Ladies Writer darling,
You are amazing. I want to tell you that up front, because you are.
Please don’t stress about this assignment. Just the fact that you are writing for any of these awesome ladies in the first place will make me ridiculously happy. Also, I just love gifts in general, so I’ll be chuffed to get a prize of any shape and size. I know this letter is ridiculously long as again I love these women, but don’t let that scare you off.
If none of the prompts/like list work for you, feel free to ignore them.
The only thing I do ask is that my No-Thanks list be avoided.
No Thanks: Slave worlds, demon-possession, mind control, prostitution, noncon, dubcon, character death, infidelity, love triangles/jealousy focus (I am far more fond of OT3ing it up), characters de-aged during the story (if you make one of the characters a child, make them “canon” children for that story if that makes sense), A/B/O, gangster/mob, noir settings, amnesia fics, loss of limb/amputations, mpreg, underage, gender swap, teacher/student stories, or focus on drug abuse or alcoholism. Regarding incest – I have exactly two sibling pairings that work there for me and I haven’t requested either fandom for this exchange, so please avoid that. Also, no parent/child pairings. Please no 2nd person or 1st person POVs (enjoyed them in the past - just not in the mood this year).
For M-rated fics, for triggering reasons I have to shy away from knife play/blood play/gun play (only in a sexual context – canon level plot/action violence is fine), scat, watersports, rape-as-fantasy-scenes, anal for M/F pairings, and any kind of direct blow in a sexual connotation even including spanking/flogging.
Yes Please!: Post-apocalypse fic, slice of life/domestic fic, epistolary stories, teamfics, found family, crossovers, AUs (particularly coffee shop, Black Jewels trilogy, daemons, steampunk/neo-Victorian, Sentinel/Guide, Old West, and Pacific Rim fusions), outsider POVs, supernatural elements, badass chicks and men who respect/lust after them for it, OT3s, fixit fics to bring back killed off characters, fics where characters have kids and are adorable parents, 5 and 1 style fics.
I’m definitely OK with an M-rating, and for smutty fics, I particularly love dirty talk, a clear top ordering their bottom around, hair-pulling, restraint i.e.: ropes/shibari/handcuffs/holding partner down, wall sex, shower sex, cramped vehicular sex, biting/marking (without major blood being drawn), mate bonds, “OMG we didn’t die” sex, and “sharing body heat” leading to sex.
Request Specifics:
So, I had a whole 'nother letter written but was really brilliant and didn't read the sign up rules *headdesk* so it's possible my requests/prompts are going to be a little crazy. Forgive my quick babble!
Request 1: Laura Barton, Natasha Romanov
I really love the idea of Laura and Natasha having a hell of a lot of respect for each other as friends and near family. Was Tasha the one who taught Laura self-defense? Or did Laura surprise the Russian assassin the first time Clint brought her home?
I do definitely like the idea of Laura as Clint's wife, so please no bashing of their marriage for a Natasha/Clint pairing - I want respect for both of these ladies!
Request 2: Jemma Simmons, Jane Foster, Darcy Lewis
*note - I've only seen the beginning of Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD so please help me avoid spoilers!) I really just want an awesome science ladies post for this one! I think Jemma could slide pretty well into place with Jane and Darcy, and I think it could help with the absence of Fitz in her life. Does Jemma get called in as a biochem consultant after Jane's brush with death in Dark World - there's got to be some side effects, right? I think Jemma could handle them. And lord knows, Darcy would be able to herd Jemma just as well as she does Jane!
BTW, I much prefer any mention of FitzSimmons to be as friends instead of shippy.
Request 3: Darcy Lewis, Pepper Potts, Maria Hill
I really love the idea of Darcy ending up in a professional role aside from that of Jane's intern-turned-bestie. She's got a lot of competence, for all that she's irreverant as hell, and I think she could be an asset to the ladies stuck herding superheroes as a long term job. Having her as either Pepper or Maria's protege could be fantastic!
Alternately - Maria and Pepper as fantastic competent ladies ruling the world. I still loved that phone call between the two of them in SHIELD!
So, yeah, those are the ladies I'd love to see take center stage, but I'm TOTALLY game to have the other MCU ladies show up to add to the madness, just as long as they aren't overshadowing my requested characters. You are also free to mix and match any of the characters in each request with each other, too. Is Laura running an unofficial way station for injured agents, or does Clint send Jane her way for advice on dating someone who goes into battle on the regular? Once upon a time did Jemma consider Stark Industries instead of SHIELD and have an interview with Pepper Potts? With these ladies, really the possibilities are endless!
