Bienvenue!
Treats are a yes!
Here you will find my general likes and dislikes and my dnw's for my fandom requests.
My general likes: angst, pining, sadness, romance, friendship, adventure, humor. I'm good with both happy or unhappy endings. But an unhappy/sad ending is better if it has a dash of hope for the future thrown in. I like post-canon (what happens to the characters after the final episode?) and pre-canon (what were they up to before the first episode?). I also like missing scene fics and fix-it fics, time loops and 5x fics.
My general dislikes: reader insert, second person pov, fluff with no plot. I'm pretty good with any topics but I'm less interested in pregnancy/baby plots and extreme AUs.
Request 1: Patriot (TV 2015)
Characters: John, Alice, Ed
DNW: cheating/adultery, major character death, explicit violence
Ideas: Would like John to be the main focus, regardless of who else is there. John/Alice pre-canon. John, Alice, and Edward--the three of them have known each other for so long. It would be cool to see how the way they relate to each other may have been different pre-canon or post-canon. Immediate post-canon (John arriving in England on the boat). How John/Alice work out post-canon, after she has realized what he actually does for work (if they can get past it).
I just love John. I love his fondness for his brother and his loyalty to his father. I love how much he loves Alice and how he tries to protect her from the violent acts he commits. I love how fucked up doing his job has made him.
Request 2: Rush (TV 2008)
Characters: Josh, Lawson, Michael, Kerry (any)
DNW: major character death
Ideas: I love the four listed characters the most, but I also love the entire ensemble so don't feel like you have to limit yourself. You also don't have to make all four the main focus. I think the show hinted at Lawson/Kerry and it's an interesting idea. I think Lawson/Josh could be a thing. Or, no romantic relationships and just friendship. Lawson and Josh as ride-or-die mates. Lawson as (probably her only) Kerry's friend. I also love Michael and his arc from rookie to undercover. I'd love to see a version where he doesn't die--what does it look like if Michael lives?
Request 3: Southland (TV)
Characters: Sammy Bryant, Ben Sherman, Nate Moretta
DNW: explicit sex, coworker romance
Ideas: Hoping for something Sammy-focused. Sammy and Nate. Sammy and Ben. Sammy and Tammi. Sammy and his passion for the job. Sammy and all the street kids he hates himself for not being able to save. Sammy living at Nate and Mari's house. Sammy losing his shit in the months after Tammi leaves him. Sammy post-canon trying to get his shit together in the aftermath of Ben's betrayal. Sammy as a single father. Sammy dating again, for the first time in a long time.
Request 4: Animal Kingdom (TV)
Characters: Andrew "Pope" Cody, Catherine Blackwell, Lena Blackwell
DNW: child abuse, sexual abuse, gore, explicit violence (yes, I know all these things are canon but let's save Lena from the horrors of her parents childhoods)
Ideas: Andrew!!! Any other characters can be added or subtracted to fit whatever ideas you have. I like the idea that deep down, Andrew has a good heart. Lena definitely brings out what little goodness he has left. Maybe Catherine does, as well? Would like any of the following: pre-canon, post-canon, missing scenes, adventurous heists featuring the ensemble, Andrew/Amy, Andrew/Angela, Andrew trying his hardest to take care of Lena, an AU where Catherine picked Andrew over Baz (how much would that have changed everything?!).
Request 5: Doctor Doctor (TV 2016)
Characters: Hugh, Charlie, Matt, Penny
DNW: anything E rated
Ideas: I would like to read something focused on Hugh. The other characters can be included or not, depending on your needs. I loved Hugh in the early seasons when he was full of himself and embracing hedonism (drinking, drugs, sleeping around), seemingly convinced that he would never face consequences even after he was sent to Whyhope as punishment. I love the will-they-won't-they of Hugh and Penny. I love all the missed opportunities and bad timing between them. Would love to see a post-canon of their relationship or a missing scene of one of the many times they surely must have hooked up and then promised never to mention it (surely!). Also, what is the deal with Hugh and Charlie and Matt? How did Charlie end up with Matt after first dating Hugh?
Request 6: For All Mankind (TV 2019)
Characters: Gordo Stevens, Tracy Stevens, Danielle Poole
DNW: violence, non-canonical major character death
Ideas: This is about Gordo. You can include Ed, Danielle, and/or Tracy as needed.
-Gordo as a womanizing ace pilot.
-Gordo with an ego.
-Gordo as a man losing his grip on reality during his time on the moon. Counting ants and quoting Newhart.
-Gordo falling back in love with Tracy as he watches her journey to be an astronaut.
-Gordo "I don't want to fuck Dani" and Danielle "I don't want to fuck you either"-- their unconventional friendship in s1.
-Gordo and his best friend Ed and all the layers of support and competition between them.
-Gordo and Tracy as America's astronaut sweethearts on the outside but as a crumbling marriage full of distrust and resentment on the inside.
