#my gut instinct was always to think about the au in regards to ships and character dynamics

[fishoutofcamelot]

Since October is my yearly Fullmetal Alchemist Rewatch MonthTM, it's time to rehash the ol' BBCM AU

Arthur as Colonel Roy Mustang. Naturally my gut instinct is to put Arthur as Edward. They're both angry blondes with a red cape-thingie and twice their weight in daddy issues. But honestly, if we look at this from a perspective of themes and character arcs, I honestly think Arthur would be a better fit for the role of Roy Mustang. Both of them are members of an oppressive military structure, have a history with participating in genocide that haunts them and requires redemption, and are in a position of authority over a found family group of soldiers (drawing parallels between the Round Table and Team Mustang). Also, Mustang stages a coup to overthrow the evil/oppressive government, and it would have been *chefs kiss* good character development to see Arthur do that

Merlin as Edward Elric. Y'know I didn't think Merlin as Edward would make any amount of sense. In terms of personality they couldn't be more different. But the more I think about, the more I realize that while they are very different people, thematically there's a lot of similarity. First and foremost, themes of sacrifice. Merlin puts himself through so much crap just to protect his friends, while Ed lost his leg trying to bring his mom back, and gave up his arm and later his alchemy in order to save his brother. Also, they're both young magical prodigies and considered anomalies within their respective magic systems - Merlin because he was born with his powers, and Ed because he can use alchemy without a transmutation circle. Also also, they're both being used as weapons in service of an oppressive authority - Ed is a State Alchemist, aka a "dog of the military" and one of Father's chosen sacrifices; and Merlin is both a servant to the Pendragons and destiny's chosen protector of the Once and Future King. Both have to struggle with balancing duty/obligation with their own morals and desires, and both characters inevitably fall on opposite sides of that fence. (I also put Merlin as Ed because I'm a slut for whump and I would love nothing more than to see Merlin endure all the angsty crap Ed goes through)

Percival as Alphonse. At first it might seem like Percival would be Major Armstrong since they're both muscle-y boys. But actually, Percival is Alphonse. They're both large and imposing guys who are secretly total softies and don't have nearly the amount of screentime they deserve. Also, if Percy's soul had been bound to a hollow suit of armor like Al, he would definitely start hiding cats in there and you cannot change my mind

Freya as Nina Tucker. Don't hate me for this one, but it makes sense right? Like, like, forget the romantic shippy stuff for a sec, that's just gross in this context. Freya as Nina is so accurate it hurts. RIGHT????

Kilgharrah as The Truth. They're both morally ambiguous, physically displaced entities who are often visited or called upon during magical/alchemical events, who dispense wisdom and judgment based on their own strict adherence to a certain code - Kilgharrah to destiny, and The Truth to equivalent exchange

Uther as Father. Daddy issues

Balinor as Van Hohenheim. This one's a bit of a no-brainer. Balinor and Hohenheim are both absent fathers who have a brief reunion with their son/s and then die shortly thereafter. Also, parallels between them both having ~special magic~ that make them a target (Balinor's a dragonlord and...whatever the hell Hohenheim has going on). Also, both of them became lonely wanderers after suffering mass death within their community - the Purge and the fall of Xerxes respectively

Hunith as Trisha Elric. Ooh this one hurts but it just fits so well

Gwaine as Ling Yao OR Jean Havoc. Comic relief foodies and fun-loving characters who are secretly royalty but don't even remotely act like it? Wanderers from a distant land, coming to Camelot/Amestris with seemingly the sole purpose of messing with everyone? Yeah he's definitely Ling. But I'm also willing to accept the idea of Gwaine as Havoc, what with them both being the chaotic bastard subordinates to Arthur and Mustang respectively. Not to mention parallels between Gwaine being tortured and/or killed, and Havoc being hospitalized and paralyzed - both of these tragedies occuring after a fateful run-in with a murderous black-haired sadist

Mithian as Lan Fan. Can't explain this one, it just feels right

Gaius as Pinako. I don't think I have to justify this choice even a little bit

Nimueh as Scar. Yeah you heard me. Thematically it makes a world of sense. Both are members of a group of people that were subjugated, oppressed, and overall victims of genocide that became extremists in their quest for wholly-earned revenge. Also because Scar got an interesting redemption arc and I want Nimueh to have what he had

Lancelot as Maes Hughes. OOOOHH THIS ONE HURTS TO THINK ABOUT. But uhh. It makes sense. Both of them figured out the big secret before everyone else - Lancelot found out about Merlin's magic, and Hughes found out about what Father was planning. Not to mention that both of them are loveable characters whose deaths will be forever burned into my psyche. Also, if Lancelot had a wife and child you can bet your ass he would show off pictures of them to anyone and everyone

Elyan as Maria Ross. Mostly I made this choice because both of them were on the run at one point for crimes they didn't necessarily commit, Maria for accusations of murder and Elyan for all the stuff he did while being possessed by a ghost. Also because the idea of a shapeshifter using Elyan's face to murder Lancelot hurts in all the angstiest ways. At first it was tricky thinking of a place to put Elyan and then it HIT me and now I can't stop thinking about it

Gwen as Winry Rockbell. Hello, Winry's a mechanic and Gwen's a blacksmith? And then there's the dead family trauma, and them both being caring and compassionate but also won't take anyone's crap. And if Nimueh is Scar in this universe, then it makes a bit more sense from that angle too. Y'know, since Nimueh poisoned Gwen's father and indirectly led to her almost getting executed, while Scar straight-up killed Winry's parents. Just thinking about the scene where Ed gently pulls the gun from Winry's hands, telling her she shouldn't kill Scar because she has the hands of a healer not a fighter...but with Merlin and Gwen instead....oh my GOD I am going to EXPLODE with FEELINGS

Isolde as Izumi Curtis and Tristan as Sig. Fighter-type power couples who could wipe the floor with you while also held within each other's passionate and tender embrace? Sign me up

Agravaine as Cornello. Both of them are horrible people. Enough said

Leon as Riza Hawkeye. A weaker man might place Merlin or even Gwen as Hawkeye. But I have the balls to admit that if anyone fits the role of Arthur's badass yet stern ride-or-die second in command, it's Leon. If you can't see that because you're too busy trying to think of this from a shipping perspective, then I really can't help you. Leon is so obviously Hawkeye it hurts

Morgana as Olivier Armstrong. They're both BAMF girlbosses. A lot of people would classify Morgana as Lust instead, but that's low-hanging fruit. Uwu Morgana and Lust are both dark-haired, black-clad evil beauties who kill people and cause mayhem. Get real. As if Morgana would willingly follow the orders of someone who calls themselves 'Father'. C'mon guys, Olivier is just Morgana but blonde and not evil. They even have a similar relationship with their siblings, for crying out loud (although the concept of Arthur as Major Armstrong is absolutely terrifying and that mental image will haunt me for years to come)

[pinedforthetree]

A/B/O or Omegaverse makes me uncomfortable and I’ll tell ya why.

So basically, I feel like in most instances, omegaverse au’s put gender stereotypes on characters that wouldn’t typically have them, or worsens the ones already there. One of the biggest reasons I love same sex ships is that the couple are typically subjected to a lot less expectations about their roles, leaving me to imagine them as taking on the roles I think each of them are more suited for in a relationship. This is why I also gravitate more towards “switch” ships, where neither character is really coded as more dominant or submissive than the other. Here are some other points:

Alpha-finds-themselves-in-a-situation-in-which-the-omega-is-in-heat-and-can’t-resist-their-instincts-to-fuck-them trope: This has always felt a bit rapey to me. Especially because it seems awfully similar to both sleeping with someone while they’re drunk, and the idea that men can’t control their urges and women should avoid tempting them. The omega in this situation shouldn’t be seen as able to consent in heat and an alpha should be able to control himself regardless of his instincts or rut.

Omega-having-an-irresistible-desire-for-mothering-children: this one really gets to me, as it’s very clearly connected to the idea that a woman’s purpose is to have and raise kids. I’m not talking about breeding kinks mind you, I’m talking about when an omega is written as seeing a kid somewhere and feels a yearning to be a mother. Or when an omega is written as being unable to have kids and seeing themselves as worthless, even if the alpha still wants them, despite this “obvious flaw” of theirs. During sex scenes it doesn’t bother me as much because it can be portrayed as just a kink, but when it becomes another of those irresistible instincts, that’s when it starts to feel wrong to me.

The omega instinct to submit to any alpha trope: this one should be pretty self explanatory. So an omega has another of those irresistible instincts to submit to alphas, and alphas have the irresistible instinct to take control. This creates a lot of implications of the world your building. Alphas needing control feel the need to tell people around them what to do. Especially omegas, who feel the need to do as told. This is so clearly tied to the idea of women being subservient to men, I’m really surprised more people are okay with this. Imagine being an omega in a world like this. Feeling the need to submit to people who are rude and try to boss you around, even if you hate their guts. Imagine how frustrating that would be.

This leads me to a point that I’ve been meaning to mention. Exploring these topics of sexism in writing is not bad at all. Having all these tropes in an a/b/o fic isn’t inherently what I have a problem with, actually. It’s when it’s portrayed as normal, or even sexy or a good thing is when it pisses me off. Exploring an omega’s internal struggle of their instincts vs. their feelings can be very interesting and enjoyable to read, actually. It’s when they’re written as submitting to their instincts and being happier for it that it gets iffy because it sends the message that people, specifically in regards to their gender’s, ought to fulfill their natural role, I.e women as the caretaker and submissive to men and men as the leader and provider.

A/b/o is fun for porn, but I’ve yet to read and a/b/o fic with any plot that I actually enjoy. I’ve even begun writing several of my own a/b/o fics that I quit part way through because I just couldn’t find a way to make it feel less sexist. Anyways, this is just a rant and if you enjoy a/b/o fics then hey, good on you I guess. I’m not saying you shouldn’t enjoy them, I’m just saying why I personally scroll down anytime I glance a/b/o in the tags.

Scenario meme: FinnPoe

yessss thank youuu!

Put a ship in my ask and I will tell you a bit about how each of the following scenarios would go down:

Fake dating: my first impulse on this is to go with an undercover-for-the-resistance thing BUT that’s too played out and obvious so instead I’m picturing a scenario where there’s a lot of downtime on the base for whatever reason and Finn’s like getting all this romantic attention from people bc he’s the young hot resistance hero/has that tragic backstory everyone wants to comfort him over but he’s nervous and uncomfortable being the center of attention like that so Poe’s like ‘hey do you just want me to tell everyone we’re dating so they’ll leave you alone?’ and Finn is partly like ‘that is an absurd solution’ but also he doesn’t have any better ideas so he just goes with it and bc it’s Poe the whole thing’s very chill like they just hold hands a lot and eat together and then the quarter master’s like oh thank god you guys can bunk together bc they need the rooms and that’s the first time where Poe’s like :/ bc he’s sort of into Finn for reals but doesn’t want to make it a thing and Finn’s like oh no Poe doesn’t want to live in the same space, he must not have feelings for me, and anyway it’s awks but it works out in the end.

Bodyswap: I think the most interesting thing to explore here would be the muscle memory – or lack thereof – that they’d have to deal with. Like Finn’s stormtrooper training was so intensive he’s a much better on-the-ground/hand-to-hand fighter than Poe so if he’s in situation where he has to fight people he’d be at a bit of a disadvantage because his reaction time would be off, and all of Poe’s instincts are for piloting so he’d likewise be kind of off, spatially even, because his instincts to like, automatically flip a switch or put just so much spin on turning or whatever would have to be due to conscious thought and effort and not just his gut. So not a very romantic thing but it’d be an interesting look at what their respective history is and it would help them understand each other better. Oh also BB8 would know instantly and freak out.

Sexpollen/fuck or die/aliens made them do it: oooooh I hate these sort of things and they both have kind of sensitive histories regarding control – Finn because of how rigorous the control of the FO was over all aspects of his life, Poe because of his experience being tortured by Kylo – but I think Poe’s instincts would be to fight and struggle and there’s got to be another way out of this whereas Finn’s would be more on the side of this sucks but we’re going to have to do it, here’s how we’re going to survive and have to talk Poe into it because he knows they’ll die otherwise and he can’t let Poe die. So they do it and it’s bad and Finn feels bad about having talked Poe into it and Poe is objectively like glad Finn took control of the situation and was smart enough to get them through it but subjectively he also hates it. THIS IS WHY I HATE DUBCON SEX THINGS. 

Dark!fic: I don’t like making things dark per se but I do (obviously) like making things sad so here’s my two saddest FinnPoe takes: a) Poe is 1000% completely gone on Finn and will probably never love anyone else as much again (rescuing him from torture and certain death and reaffirming his faith in humanity will do that to a person) but Finn is in love with Rey and Rey loves him back, so Poe’s not even going to bother telling him and complicating the situation; and/or b) Finn does feel the same way and Poe is again, 1000% gone for Finn, but Poe’s also just too focused on The Resistance to be able to develop a relationship – and also feels like Finn’s maybe too young to be in anything that serious yet and deserves a chance to have like more low key relationships without it being Super Serious and Forever like Poe would most want it to be – so the timing never quite works out.

Secret kinks: idk if it’s a kink but Poe’s a service top and Finn absolutely does not mind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Their first kiss: oh it 100% has to be Finn that starts something, right? Like Poe has Feelings and he’s not an idiot, he realizes it and accepts it, but he’s always going to be wary about pressuring Finn or making things weird. Finn is also not an idiot so he kind of gets the feeling Poe is into him but he’s also not super experienced with the whole kissing thing either so it probably takes him a while to work up to it. I don’t see it as like a Big Dramatic Deal kiss though – just something simple, like they’re just hanging out, working on an engine or whatever, they’re just sitting next to each other and talking and Finn just leans over and brings their lips together and Poe is just like, oh. Oh. Oh?! And Finn says something soft and cheesy like I just wanted to see what it’d be like and w/e we/ it’s nice. 

Meeting the parents: Oh my god Kes and Finn meeting is my #1 dream scenario all I want in life is for Kes and Finn to just really vibe with each other, partly to tease Poe for being so intense and Serious Business about the resistance/love/ or w/e but also bc they’re both just like solid, steady, boots on the ground folks while Shara and Poe are the daring pilot types. In terms of Finn’s parents man I don’t think we’ll really get closure on it but at the very least I would like Poe to try and help Finn find them.

Moving in together: After all the Resistance Nonsense, when peace is achieved and the galaxy is saved, I hope Poe follows HIS OWN PARENTS’ EXAMPLE (and not like, Leia’s) and just settles down on Yavin IV to run his droid sanctuary while Finn takes some time to explore the universe and figure out who is outside of war time. But once he has, I think they could be happy together on Yavin – near Poe’s dad, keeping up to date on New Republic stuff but not necessary in the thick of it all. Just a quiet, settled, simple life. I feel like they’ve both earned that.

A crossover of my choice: I’m really picky about crossovers bc I need to be like, canonically plausible (yes I am exactly that pretentious) so the only one I would really buy is Doctor Who, since the a long, long time ago precludes a lot of other options. But I’m not even sure which Doctor. Oh wait it wouldn’t really be a crossover but a version of a Wakanda-like planet that Finn is the secret lost prince of? 15/10 would daydream about again.

An au of my choice: COWBOYS. Vaguely The Magnificent Seven inspired but maybe with less death all around. I just want Poe swinging Finn up on a horse behind him and galloping away while Finn looks back and shoots at whatever bad guys are pursuing them. 

If you like, another trope/scenario of your choices: Again I’m always down for a Long Lost Prince Finn type of scenario, but another AU I started once was a historic regency-ish deal vaguely based on the film Belle where Finn was raised by a rich white aunt and uncle in England, along with his white cousin, Rey, and he’s really well loved by his family and the heir to a fortune but he’s not super accepted into the rest of Upper Society, so he feels like an outsider and there’s a lot of intrigue and conflict about whether he’ll be able to marry or not etc etc, very dramatic. Poe is an artist hired to paint a portrait of ~the family~ on the grounds but he comes to the fancy manor house when Rey is In Town being presented to society and Finn’s aunt and uncle (lbr I’m picturing Han and Leia here) are with her, so no one’s around to supervise this painter guy and it’s up to Finn to take Poe around and show him the grounds and they spend a few weeks together with no one but the servants around and anyway yeah they fall in love, obvs. OBVS. I may still finish this but it would require research which :/

[justteamavatar]

can you recommend some korrasami fics?

Of course I can! Man, I don’t even know where to start, but these are some of the ones that come to mind (they aren’t ranked in any particular order):

March of Progress by @threehoursfromtroy

The Avatar must protect nature, foster peace, and keep the world safe.The CEO of Future Industries must expand, innovate, and, at the end of the day, turn a profit.

Korra and Asami have fallen in love, and fallen hard. But when their duties come between them, their world convulses around them, and their pasts still haunt them both, can the world’s most powerful couple survive?

~ I’ve recommended this many times and still stand by this fic. We get to see the development of Korra and Asami in terms of their relationship, their characterization and their hardships. Also, the author is an absolute sweetheart!

http://archiveofourown.org/works/6996448/chapters/15938416

Place in the World by paxbanana

Korra struggles to find her place in the world. Continuation-fic. Related to One on One. 

~ Honestly, I think this is my favourite Korrasami story I’ve ever read. It’s mostly what I would want to happen for a Book 5 of TLOK. The author alternates between Korra and Asami’s perspective in this story and brings about brilliant characterization/introspection as well as culture (we get to experience a lot in regards to the Southern Water Tribe). Seriously… just read it when you have the time. (Yes, I know some people have a problem with the labels used in this story and I completely understand, but try to give it a chance. I think the author has been quite respectful in how they handled the whole situation - but, if this type of thing really does bother you, consider giving this fic a pass)

Absence of Light by @sniperct

Ten years ago, Avatar Korra opened a spirit portal in the center of Republic City. In the decade since, Korra has overseen a new era of peace. But there are dangers old and new, creeping shadows threatening to strangle and choke out the light and throw the world back out of balance. In the absence of light, what hope remains? 

~ I’ve recommended this to some people because it’s honestly one of the best stories that I’ve ever read (this too has its own series called The Avatar and the Inventor). This story along with The Seeking Balance series are absolutely among my top two favourites in regards to Korrasami fics. Here, we have a badass married Korrasami couple and a very interesting/dangerous villain. We also get to see some good ol’ characters from ATLA!

http://archiveofourown.org/works/4269738/chapters/9667932

The Everthere by @guileheroine

Korra and Asami on the steady, special road to life partnership. A post-reunion, post(ish)-college roommate AU.

~ So, I’m not usually a fan of AU stories, but this one has left me stunned on multiple occasions. The characterization of Korra and Asami is divine, their relationship progression is so pure and beautiful and the story is captivating. It’s a slow burn story that is definitely worth your time!

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8541466/chapters/19581724

(The characterization in this story reminds me of Nightmares and Daydreams by SorbetLaitier - another sort of slow burn type of story that I would highly recommend ~ https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10837027/1/Nightmares-and-Daydreams)

All These Broken Hearts on That Pole by Gummy

Korra knew this was insane. Absolutely utterly mad. The first time she ever stepped foot in a strip club and of course she had to fall for one of the strippers. The entire thing felt like a tired, worn out cliche. But cliche or not, something was happening and she sure as hell wasn’t going to let it slip through her fingers.

~ This is another AU involving a strip club - need I say more? I haven’t read this one in a while, but I would definitely say that it’s worth the read!

Parts to Play by @darling-gypsum

Asami Sato has been raised her whole life to distrust benders, but now, she doesn’t know quite what to make of the Avatar. The two girls bond as the Equalist threat looms over Republic City, but the threat could be closer than Korra realizes. Asami’s allegiances are tested. (designed to blend the “Asami Equalist AU” into most of the show canon, so Korrasami, Makorra, and Masami ships are all acknowledged and explored) 

Unseen moments in the last two books, as Korra and Asami fly out of and back into each other’s lives.Sequel to “Parts to Play” Books 1 & 2.

~ This is definitely a must-read story! It takes an alternative path in books 1 & 2 with an equalist!asami narrative. Book 3 & 4 are more of what we are used to in the show. The characters really get fleshed out and we get to see lot of behind-the-scenes moments/interactions. A very beautiful story/series indeed! 

http://archiveofourown.org/works/3987445/chapters/8951752

http://archiveofourown.org/works/6108466/chapters/14000713

Book 5: Light by @asami-snazz

A complete Book 5 story following Korra and Asami from the final and beyond as the couple navigate through their new relationship whilst also dealing with rising anti-spirit tension at home and considerable political instability in the rest of the Four Nations as Korra and Asami are tested more than ever before.

“The canon seemed to be being fired carelessly from the Spirit Wilds. Korra…No…Gut instinct told Asami that the Avatar would be there.”

~ I’ve always had a great liking for this story! Very nice characterization and relationship-building for both Korrasami  with a really neat plot! It starts out fluffy but gets very interesting as the chapter go on! We get to Asami have some amazing moments and we also get to see a bit more about Korra’s mental state. Highly recommend this!

Stand on the Horizon by theinvisblekunst 

In 159AG, a portal opened at the bottom of the Mo Ce Sea, allowing giant monsters that became known as the kaiju to enter the physical world. For eight long years, the world’s benders were the first line of defense, but the loss of life became too great. A fifteen year old Asami Sato has the solution, and she presents her idea to the world: Build giant mechs to fight the kaiju. She calls them “jaegers.” Now, three years later, her jaegers are the primary kaiju-fighting weapon, and she’s determined to pilot her own. Who knew the avatar would also want to be a pilot.

~ Another AU that I decided to give a chance and wow, I was not disappointed. I was a big fan of Pacific Rim merely for it cool action-packed sequences. The idea of giant robots fighting giant monsters is always pleasant to think about. Throw Korrasami into the mix and you get an even more entertaining story, especially when the drift is involved. 

This story was quite emotional for me, but I can’t recommend it enough! Korra and Asami become the true legends in this AU.

These are some awesome and/or well-known stories that you should 100% read (seriously, I could write a description for each of these stories, but I think they can all speak for themselves in terms of their amazing quality):

Korrasami Month 2018 by @geminisweet  *I binge-read the heck out of this a little while ago and I’m still blown away at how mature, realistic and raw this story is! Korra and Asami’s relationship progression though the obstacles/traumas they faced throughout this story was such a beautiful thing to witness! This story is a masterpiece and there is so much I want to say about it! I’m hoping to sit down and write a proper review in the near future*

I haven’t bothered adding my own commentary to these last few ones due to their well-known status. But seriously, read.them.all when/if you get the chance!

Hopefully you can find some nice stories in there that you haven’t read before. They all deserve the chance to be read and loved! Feel free to add on some other stories if you think I missed some good ones (which I’m certain that I did).
