hiddencaitDear FFFX Writer,
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 fandoms in the first place will make me ridiculously happy. Also, I 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 fandoms and tend to babble, but don’t let that scare you off. Honestly, I just wanted to give you as much detail as possible to hopefully help get your inspiration flowing since holy crap you signed up to write a LOT of words for me!
The only thing I do ask is that my No-Thanks list be avoided.
No Thanks: Infertility/miscarriage, prostitution, noncon, dubcon, requested character major character death, infidelity, love triangles/jealousy focus (I am far more fond of OT3ing it up), Hanahaki, characters de-aged/aged back up during the story, A/B/O, gangster/mob, noir settings, Modern AUs that remove canon SFF elements, amnesia, loss of limb/amputations, mpreg, underage/adult, gender swap, teacher/student, drug abuse/alcoholism, or incest. Please no 2nd person or 1st person POVs unless in epistolary/letters format.
For M-rated fics, please no knife/blood/gun play (only in a sexual context – canon level plot/action violence is fine), humiliation in a D/S dynamic, age or pet play, scat, watersports, rape-as-fantasy-scenes, anal for M/F pairings, and any kind of direct blow in a sexual situation, including spanking/flogging.
Yes Please: Post-apocalypse, slice of life/domestic/curtainfic, epistolary stories, found family, crossovers with characters ending up at the Gertrude Hunt of Ilona Andrews’ Innkeeper Chronicles series, AUs (particularly zombie apocalypse, Black Jewels verse, Sentinel/Guide, Old West, and Pacific Rim fusion), outsider POVs, supernatural elements like hauntings/werewolves/fae/etc., competency kink, fixit fics, stranded together/huddling together for warmth, and 5 and 1 style fics.
For M-rating fics, I particularly love dirty talk, Dom/Sub dynamic (service Dom and/or service Sub a plus), that Dom ordering their Sub around, restraint i.e.: 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.
Optional Re Crossovers: I also wanted to specifically mention that crossovers between any of my requested fandoms would be awesome if that’s your thing.
Also I do have gifts enabled and welcome treats if someone who isn’t assigned me gets inspired by my requests!
Just FYI, for all of these, I requested both fanfic lengths below. I will totally be happy with either option – seriously, so don’t stress too much about that. If you do go the 2 5k fics route, I am game for completely different fandoms/characters, different unrelated stories for the same fandom/character, or even associated one-shots in a series or something for the same fandom/character. Honestly, whatever you need to do to complete the gift(s) will be awesome!

Requests:
Sense and Sensiblity – Jane Austen
Colonel Brandon/Elinor Dashwood
This pairing is one that fandom totally sold me on long before I reread the book and realized I had NO IDEA why Elinor/Brandon wasn’t the original end game. The sheer amount of mutual admiration society moments literally on the page just floors me every time I read it now LOL. And honestly, Elinor and Brandon really do feel like a better match than the ones they got, with their quiet glorious competence and a respect between them that I could see growing into a strong love and contented marriage. It might be a quieter love than one with Marianne involved, but that doesn’t mean it would be any less strong (let’s face it, I’m so gung ho for the pairing because I think instead it will be MUCH stronger). I definitely do want shippyness for this request though it definitely can be pre-ship. I would prefer if you didn’t kill off or thoroughly ruin Marianne to make it happen, but I do want my Brandon and Eleanor to end up together and happily in love instead of the attitude that they are just “settling” for each other because they can’t have the person they originally wanted in Marianne or Edward. I’m honestly ambivalent about what happens to Edward, poor chap. He just never struck me as having much of a spine, and Elinor needs the kind of man who will stand up for her as opposed to just gazing at her uselessly while knowing he isn’t free to pursue her. This is a fandom that I’d be especially game for crossovers or mentions of other characters from other Austen stories (Pride & Prejudice and Sanditon are my other faves).
Aliens (1986)
Dwayne Hicks/Ellen Ripley, Dwayne Hicks/Ellen Ripley & Bishop & Rebecca “Newt” Jordan
Why yes yes there is a reason I specifically nominated this specific movie instead of the canonical Alien Quadrilogy – because let’s be honest, I am 100% solely in this fandom for this little found family of survivors and this couple and their off the charts chemistry and competency kink. It’s one of my top comfort movies – full of space horror and space marines and one scared little girl who manages to live against all possible odds and an android that is far more human that the company asshole along for the ride. And then there’s Ripley – have I mentioned our lady and savior badass extroidinaire and all around incredibly gorgeous human, Ellen Ripley? There literally is nothing I don’t love about this character, holy hell. Seriously I just want these three to survive after the end of the film (3rd movie – what 3rd movie?), however you manage to do it, whether it’s rewriting the canon events of the 3rd movie to have all of them there and surviving that hell, too, or they take off for parts unknown, or continue to be hunted by Weyland-Yutani – just SOMETHING with this little quartet will thrill me. And yes, I happily welcome smut for Hicks and Ripley if that floats your boat! One final little detail, the only negative of this movie was that there wasn’t enough of Jonesy the cat – I know bringing him back into the thick of things could be complicated given he was left on the station, but I’d love to see Ripley get her kitty back.
Stargate SG1
Daniel Jackson
Oh Daniel my darling Daniel-in-Distress, polyglot extroidinaire, kind to the bones, still trying desperately to hold on to that wonder at the universe and archeology, I SWEAR! I headcanon him as demisexual (on the ace spectrum and unlikely to feel sexual attraction until an emotional connection is made), so including that would be a bonus, but is not necessary (really, how many folks hit on him and he legit never noticed or just bluescreened – that poor assassin who tried to hit on him was SO confused LOLOL). For pairings, I am game for almost any non-villain het pairing except Sam Carter (though bring on the BroTP for the Science Twins). I will say if you go the Vala route (as she is a delight overall) that I’d like her whole sexual harassment of Daniel thing be toned WAY down – annoying him yes, making a joke out of trying to have sex with him over and over and even telling folks they’d ALREADY had disappointing sex after he turned her down… yeah no thanks. Otherwise, I really love crossover pairings for him, actually, including our Atlantis ladies, Hermione Granger (of legal age), Faith Lehane, & Darcy Lewis, but I’m always willing to see new het crossover pairings for him if it’s a fandom I’m familiar with. I’m a multi-shipper for sure, so I’m willing to be surprised – especially if it’s characters from some of the other fandoms here. Just please avoid noncon/dubcon for him. Also, if you are a M/M shipper for him, please go the gen route as there’s a lot of M/M out there for him and I’m not in the mood for it lately.
Story Prompts! 1) Give Daniel a Good DayTM – bless him I don’t think the man has really RESTED since the series started, even after coming back from the dead multiple times. Just give him something relaxing and domestic and non-life threatening please lol. 2) Academia woes! We know he has all the PhDs ever & generally you need to publish or attend conferences etc to keep up your identity in the academic world. I know the Stargate Program makes this… exciting to manage. So how does he do so? Feel free to bring in Sam or some of the other researchers with this one – though I prefer not to get an AU if you do so. 3) Daniel goes to Atlantis for longer than a couple episodes – he deserves it! Whether he was a part of the original expedition or actually makes it there during one of the times Vala interrupts his plans, or even if things go FUBAR and the whole of SGC has to retreat from Earth to Atlantis. I just want him to get to know the city he searched so long for. 4) For any crossover pairing – just how/where he and the LI encounter each other is always fun to read. 5) Another shippy option: Sha’re!Lives AU – how is she saved or is she never taken? What would the pair of them be like with the SGC in that case? Would he or she still be on a gate team or would they have a more on-site role? I would want them with the SGC tho as opposed to just on Abydos.
Burn Notice
Victor Stecker-Epps
And now for Michael Shanks playing someone COMPLETELY different than above LOL. This show overall is such a blast, and I always enjoy the hell out of most of the ensemble cast, but my fave character hands down only appeared on screen in 3 episodes before dying. WHAT. A. WASTE. There’s just so much that’s so damned tragic about Victor – in a single day he goes from what we can only assume is a skilled and successful spy with a loving family at the top of his game to losing that family in an explosion, being burned and assumably blamed for it, and recruited by Karla, only to years later figure out Karla (and the entire organization) actually caused all of the destruction of his life. Is it any surprise it broke him? I mean really? Not to say he’s not a murderous bastard – ‘broken’ has definitely turned into a murder happy Mad Hatter type of man who is unpredictable as hell in a delightful way along with him being charming and ridiculously physically attractive, but there’s clearly a belief in some of what’s right under there for him to have been so dedicated to his job originally. He's like a shattered mirror of what Michael might have been had his own burn notice taken casualties with him. So, what do I want for this request? Just save Victor – keep him alive, of course, but also let Michael and the team start saving him little by little with the good they do despite some of the terrible ways they often get the good things accomplished. Throwing another wild card into the mix (as lord knows Fi already plays that role) could be SUCH fun. Oddly, I don’t actually ship Victor with anyone canon on the show or alternately, I’d have to ship him with EVERYONE indiscriminately, I think if that makes sense? So if you do want to write something shippy for him, I’d think I’d prefer either his canon wife or an OC lady – whether it's discovering his wife and child didn’t die after all but thought he died instead, or a client for Michael’s team keeps catching Victor’s attention though DAMN if he can figure out why, or he’s stuck playing babysitter to a client needing a close bodyguard until the job is finished and Victor’s pissed he’s missing all the fun (read violence) until things go very violent indeed. Hell go full tropey with it and set them in the apocalypse or have Victor up and find a soul mark and that poor woman have NO IDEA what they’re in for when it comes to his entire baggage car of luggage. Just yeah, give me more of Victor among the living, please k thanks! Oh hey I am game for twins separated by the foster system Victor Stecker-Epps and Daniel Jackson shenanigans if you are a fan of both shows – talk about a culture shock if the two ever collided!
Black Sails
Abigail Ashe/Billy Bones
Let’s be honest, if you decided to write for this pairing, then you probably are already on this little rowboat of a ship with me and don’t need my spiel about these two in particular. So how about some prompts instead? 1. AU where Billy really is someone she might have known back in England. Bookish Abigail keeps buying journals & stationary at the same printer’s shop for reasons, and society ends up scandalized when the daughter of a governor forms an attachment to the son of a Leveler. 2. Billy courting Abigail be in in an AU in England or in Nassau. Is he good at it? Is he rubbish at it? Is he so painfully adorable that we (and Abigail) don’t care either way? 3. Modern AU firefighter!Billy. I’ll admit I’ve written a fill for this prompt before, but I just don’t think there can be enough of it LOL. 4. Really just Abigail climbing Billy like a tree because smut is always acceptable.
Abigail Ashe/Charles Vane
Abigail was raised a gentlewoman but clearly a little bloodthirsty and less intimidated by pirates than she should be, and that just DESTROYS ME. Her response to Vane of “Good” will never fail to be delightfully chilling, and I can see that steel in her definitely catching Charles’s attention. Without Eleanor there to blind him with their tumultuous history and sexual attention, I can see that bit of intrigue growing into a grudging respect and later into attraction. However you get them back in the same location, whether the crew finds Abigail during the sacking of Charles Town and takes her with them on the ship or if she finds her way to Nassau due to her reputation being ‘ruined’ in the eyes of society – I’m really not picky on the details. I just want to see these two together, preferably with both enthusiastically consenting. Also pirate!Abigail would definitely be something I’d enjoy for this pairing for sure!
Abigail Ashe/Billy Bones/Charles Vane
What can I say: my answer to any ships where I can see multiple pairings/connections of the same few folks is, of course, to just trio them all together! And hey Black Sails is a canon threesomes fandom so I think adding another OT3 just makes it even better, don’t you? No specific details for this one, though I do have one prompt I’ve been craving forever: The Walking Dead AU, preferably in the Modern universe since I’ve gotten a GLORIOUS Black Sails era zombie fic previously! I have no idea why that specific scenario sounds so fun for this trio; it just does. All other characters as survivors definitely welcome just as long as these three are the chore of the story. Also a delight on the AU side would be a Pacific Rim AU, Black Jewels AU, or Western AU – really I don’t know why but this trio makes AUs pop into my head lol.
Crossover Fandoms
The Carnahan-O’Connell Family (The Mummy Movies) & The Addams Family (The Addams Family Movies)
So I won’t lie, this entire request is based on this tumblr prompt: https://grumpyhellion.tumblr.com/post/635673099935825920/grumpyhellion-grumpyhellion-grumpyhellion-on I don’t care how you make the crossover come about or what the plot is (if you even have a plot LOL) – I just want these two families meeting and having the time of their lives with each other. I prefer them being friendly as opposed to enemies, though supposed enemies to friends would be a blast too! My fave dynamics on each side are definitely the couples – Gomez/Morticia and Evy/Rick are ABSOLUTE relationship goals in my opinion, and I think the way they’d play off each other would be a delight. Otherwise, I really did mean to nominate this as going for any of the family members (and family adjacent like Ardeth and even Debbie) interacting, so please do feel limited by the specific characters in the tag btw – all of them are welcome to the kookiness! Otherwise, I know there’s not as much detail and prompts here as some of my other requests, but honestly, I’m so tickled with the concept I can’t think of anything specific for this regarding just vibes and shenanigans, I guess? Overall, that tumblr post was such fun, and y’all, I feel like I could do with more similar fun in my life!
Primeval
Hilary James Becker/Jess Parker
I don’t know what it is lately, but I’ve been missing this ridiculously delightful pair of tol and smol and sunshine/grump. Jess Parker is just an utter delight of color and unexpected competence at her job when folks initially look at her, and it’s such a great contrast to Mr. “I only wear black and something switched me from a soldier to a private security force (possibly an something with a timeline shift no one noticed oops) but overall I am Very. Serious. And don’t have time for bright and lovely Jess Parkers. Not even if she thinks I have lovely hair and I bring her chocolate-without-orange when she’s brilliant which is always.” Seriously I can’t with this dynamic and these two! Regarding prompts, I love me some “stranded through the anomaly” stories, and anything where Jess gets to show she’s competent in the field as well as behind her desk is also a delight! Alternately something strictly shippy be it fluffy or smutty or both, and I’ll be a happy camper. Just give me more of these two making me smile!
Well that's it! Well done if you managed to read all the way to the end of this ridiculously long letter, and thanks again for writing for me!!

Overall, that tumblr post was such fun, and y’all, I feel like I could do with more similar fun in my life!

Hilary James Becker/Jess Parker
I don’t know what it is lately, but I’ve been missing this ridiculously delightful pair of tol and smol and sunshine/grump. Jess Parker is just an utter delight of color and unexpected competence at her job when folks initially look at her, and it’s such a great contrast to Mr. “I only wear black and something switched me from a soldier to a private security force (possibly an something with a timeline shift no one noticed oops) but overall I am Very. Serious. And don’t have time for bright and lovely Jess Parkers. Not even if she thinks I have lovely hair and I bring her chocolate-without-orange when she’s brilliant which is always.” Seriously I can’t with this dynamic and these two! Regarding prompts, I love me some “stranded through the anomaly” stories, and anything where Jess gets to show she’s competent in the field as well as behind her desk is also a delight! Alternately something strictly shippy be it fluffy or smutty or both, and I’ll be a happy camper. Just give me more of these two making me smile!
Well that's it! Well done if you managed to read all the way to the end of this ridiculously long letter, and thanks again for writing for me!!
