OTP Questions- Sleep Edition || @sonxflight || accepting

Which one sleeps in? Which one is up bright and early in the morning?

As immortals, I am pretty sure that they either don’t require sleep at all or at least not as much as the mortals do, but Scorpion still wants to shut his damn mind off at least for a few hours, and takes catnaps here and there. His sleep is extremely shallow and doesn’t like to expose himself in that way, because sleeping itself is such an intimate and private endeavor that makes him vulnerable against peril - despite being unkillable - and raw openness, which he is highly selective about. Regardless, they are early birds and they always have been governed by the need to fulfill their aspirations and dreams.

Which one is super insistent about their side of the bed? Which one DOESN’T CARE, JUST LET ME SLEEP?

I don’t see neither as the type to fuss over such useless things to fight over; sleeping is sleeping, and Scorpion struggles with the entire concept, even worse, compared to his Hanzo Hasashi years. And when it comes, Scorpion doesn’t attempt to fight it, nor the place he does it in (he often secludes himself in nature, away from the prying eyes).

Which one snores?

Neither, they are very shallow sleepers who can go from doggone exhausted to being alert in a second flat. I don’t know about Jack, but Scorpion is an undead spectre who has a tangible form and can suffer as same as any mortal human beings can. And he’s deathly quiet when he sleeps; he wears a facade of unapproachable, marred warrior who wears his grief and depression on his sleeves. And he’s so overwrought and tense at times in his vulnerability that he simply refuses to sink into REM sleep (it will be once a blue moon if restful sleep such as this takes place), so hardly either are capable of exposing themselves in that way.

Which one talks in their sleep?

Scorpion may, if he is having a lucid nightmare; incoherent and incomprehensible at times, but often, it will be just strained whispers or sharp screams of his family’s name, as he’d often relive through that the most, and him being tortured by the demon (if he hadn’t freed himself and would be eternally be tortured in infernal fire, as his skin would be plunged with various weapons and heal right back up). But for him, emotional suffering is much worse than physical, and I am sure it’s same for Jack/Ryou.

Do either of them sleepwalk?

Neither. They just have a lot of nightmares, either events from their past (both of them losing their family and having the entire universe destroyed) or the unknown future, as their lives are constantly in threat of perilous demise.

Do either of them sleep fight?

Fighting with sleep is for the weak; they have Atlas’ worth of burden upon their shoulders - both personal and worldly - and they just attempt to get comfortable in their preferred position. Scorpion may be the one to resent Jack at first, because ever since Harumi, he hasn’t been with anyone and he prefers solitude, while he is touch and affection-starved - he hates being lonely, he’s fine being alone. And YES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE - he won’t welcome the intimate touch at first. He accepts it gradually, and he doesn’t mind switching from being a big spoon to being a little one, either.

Which one steals the covers?

Neither. They are not the ones to fuss about anything, and they are not much affected by the seasons’ temperature changes either, since they are not fully human - Scorpion even less so, he’s a spectre and cannot feel anything, except physical and emotional pain - and spend the majority of their times traveling and resting.

Which one remembers their dreams in the morning?

They are very lucid and visual dreamers; their heightened senses feel nearly everything, and they have near-eidetic memories. The metronome of their thoughts beat as illuminatory and revealing as their waking life, and I can definitely see them talk about their recurring dreams as their relationships develop.

Who has the WEIRD dreams, and who has the fairly normal ones?

I would not say weird, but more violent dreams than most other people dream of.Because they both are immortals who have experienced enough share of violence and suffering in their waking life, violence can make its way into their dreams because they need to process and eventually heal from what happened. They have been seemingly eternally alone, and loneliness originated from experiencing such unhealthy period of time entrapped in their thoughts could be detrimental. They would crave to touch another human being, to feel another heart beating next to them.

Which one is more cuddly in their sleep? (Is it the one who is less cuddly when awake?)

They both value physical conversations, and can get touchy-feely. It all depends on how Scorpion perceives Jack/Ryou to be, but as their relationship progresses, they like to be entangled in each other’s embrace and would welcome one another without resentment. The physical intimacy and closeness they both offer each other becomes grounding anchor, a pillar for both of their physicality in the world, and also mentally beneficent.

Which one kisses the other awake? Which one wakes the other up by singing loudly and off-key?

It could go either or; depending who is feeling more affectionate and in the mood (Scorpion tends to be way too overwrought and tense even in sleep as he either has too much pent-up energy or too wired with multitudes of thoughts to sleep) but I think they will pretty much up and about with the crack of dawn, but since Jack/Ryou is more of a giving, compassionate one than Scorpion, he would attempt to assuage Scorpion’s tormented mind by either gently embracing him from the back or peppering soft kisses.

I was tagged by @bleden-mark, thank you Sophia!!! 💕

Dogs or cats? Uh, rabbits? Lol, actually both, I like both dogs and cats although I don’t know that I would want to have either as a pet. I just like playing with other people’s dogs and cats.

YouTube celebrities or normal celebrities? .... normal celebrities? I really don’t care about YouTubers with the exception of, like, the Critical Role cast. If they count.

If you could choose to live anywhere, where would it be? If I could afford it, probably central Oxford. I really love that city. Although, if I want to work in mainstream publishing that means living in London, and if I could live anywhere in London it would be South Kensington.

Disney or Dreamworks? Both, but leaning towards Disney if I’m honest.

Favourite childhood TV show? Sailor Moon, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

The movie you’re looking forward to in 2020? Wonder Woman 1984!!!

Favourite book you read in 2019? Oooh either Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik or The Ember Blade by Chris Wooding.

Marvel or DC? I like both but there are more DC characters that I care about and am invested in.

If you chose Marvel, favourite member of the X-Men? I said I like both so I’m answering: my favourite growing up was always Gambit.

Night or day? Mmm. I’ve turned into something of a night owl recently, but I hate the feeling of the day just going by and missing it, so as long as I don’t have to get up super early I’d have to say day.

Favorite Pokémon? Alolan Vulpix and Ninetails, Eevee, Lapras, Dragonair, Rapidash, Gardevoir

Top 5 bands/artists? Sara Bareilles, The Score, Ed Sheeran, Idina Menzel, Howard Shore

Top 10 books? This is so haaaard .... The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle, Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery, Persuasion by Jane Austen, The Secret Countess by Eva Ibbotson, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling, Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor, The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray by Chris Wooding, The Supernaturalist by Eoin Colfer, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Top 4 movies? The Little Mermaid, The Fellowship of the Ring, Beauty and the Beast, 10 Things I Hate About You

US or Europe? Europe

Tumblr or Twitter? Tumblr. I have a personal Twitter for work but honestly Twitter tends to make me angry and it’s not really a fandom-oriented space.

Favourite vacation destination? Rome!

Favourite YouTuber? Again, does the Critical Role cast count?

Favourite author? I don’t think I could pick just one.

Tea or coffee? Neither. Hot chocolate.

OTP? Gonna join Sophia is saying my OCs and their love interests, but fandom wise Harry/Luna’s probably still the OTP nearest and dearest to my heart.

Do you play an instrument or sing? Both! I play the flute, and I used to do musicals and sang solo in a couple of them.

Tagging @theawkwardterrier, @jedbartlet, @ladyreysolo, @beautifulwhensarcastic aaaand @nevertothethird! 😘

asks for fanfic writers

things that inspire you- Aesthetic Images,Pinterest,FanFiction,Shows,Movies,Fan Music Videos,Songs,Whichever Celeb or Character I have a Crush on that Week or Month.

things that motivate you- My Muse,When People like and Comment on My work!

name three favorite writers-as in Published Authors? Cause I have alot of Faves on Tumblr. Authors-Yasmine Galenorn,Marissa Marr and Francesca Lia Block.

name three authors that were influential to your work and tell why-Not too many tbh. I’m mainly influenced by TV Characters. and OTP’s in MV’s. I would LOVE to write like Francesca Lia Block one day and I’d say as a Teen I was heavily influenced by Amelia Atwater Rhodes.

since how long do you write? How long have I been writing you mean? since I was 13.

how did writing change you? Made me more of a Day Dreamer and a bit Absent minded lol

early influences on your writing-Already told one but other’s would be Christopher Pike as well as Watching WWE and Anime’s like Sailor Moon.

what time are you most productive? Whenever I get free time and am Inspired.

do you set yourself deadlines? No.

how do you do your research? Again watching Episodes of a certain Character,Headcanons and such,or Wikipedia if it’s something on The None Fiction or Mythological side.

do you listen to music when writing? Sometimes.

favorite place to write-My Room I guess.

hardest character to write-Right Now Peter Hale,which is why I took such a long break from Teen Wolf lol (I need to finish watching it)

easiest character to write- Eobard Thawne aka Reverse Flash aka EoWells.

hardest verse to write- Not Verse but My hardest Fic to write was actually a One Shot of My Wells of Hearts Fic From The Flash. It was after HR Wells dies (on The Show) and I was pretty sad writing it.

easiest verse to write-idk about Verse but The easiest Fic I wrote was My Cat & Mouse one with WWE’s Bray Wyatt. It’s a bit too NSFW to put here though ;)

favorite AU to write-All Mine are AU’s since I create a bunch of insert characters lol

favorite pairing to write-Freddy Krueger/Robert Englund with My OC Rika. Also Michael Langdon and My OC Helena. I have a weak spot for Dark,Tragic Soul Mates.

favorite fandom to write-WWE’s The easiest lol I’d probably have to say The Flash or Walking Dead though.

favorite character to write-That’s not mine. Negan.

least favorite character to write-Archie Andrews from Riverdale lol I feel bad because I think reading my Mughead story you can tell.

favorite story you’ve ever written-Online I’d say My Flash one that is STILL not done.

least favorite story you’ve ever written-I probably have a few Sailor Moon one’s I wrote when I was younger that aren’t that good or Some of My Michael Jackson One Shots.

favorite scene you’ve ever written-Ok I’ll just Copy and Paste it. again keeping this SFW. TWD Kings and Queen of Disaster pt1- “Don’t. Merle knew you’d kill him for siding with his Brother and you did anyway,I was there when Daryl had too…” I closed My eyes briefly trying to calm myself. It didn’t work. Before I realized what I was doing I was standing,my gun pointed at him. But The Governor was always one step ahead as he pulled a gun from the back of his waistband and pointed it at me as well. We had each other a stand off. I didn’t waver as I glared at him. “Merle was the one man i knew loved me for all his faults and you took that away.” I said through clenched teeth,angry tears pricking my eyes.The Governor stared at me unblinking. “I loved you. I did.” He insisted at my scoff. “I realize it now. Killing Merle wasn’t personal. Even if it was,it didn’t make a difference,we both lost that day. Merle,My Daughter,Each other.” The Governor looked at me remorsefully. “I am sorry.” “So sorry you disappeared.” “So did you!” Governor shot back. “I had to…” I trailed off not wanting to explain myself to him. I felt defeated,saddened,confused in that moment,that I didn’t notice when The governor slowly circled around the table,gun still in hand to walk behind me,grabbing my wrist that held the gun,putting his own to my temple. I stiffened but didn’t shrink away. We both knew we wouldn’t shoot one another. No matter how psychotic he could be or how hurt and angry I was.

story you’re most proud of- That one ^ or Wells of Hearts.

best review you ever got-On My Gotham one or My Cat & Mouse Trilogy.

worst review you ever got-None yet.

favorite story/poem of another author-Not sure.

hardest part of writing-Getting enough Motivation to write what is in your Head!

easiest part of writing-The Smut lol at least for me. ;)

alternate title for (The Alpha) My Alpha. Yeah very original I know lol

alternate ending for (Wells of Hearts) Not to give anything away but I had this big Fight scene between Reverse Flash,Obsidian Storm and Team Flash and Obsidian was going to turn her back on Eobard and side with Team Flash again at the last minute. But I decided her staying a Villain,essentially staying how Eobard made her,and joining The Legion of Doom plus all that happens afterwards would be more interesting.

alternate pairing for (MugHead) I really don’t change My Mind when it comes to Pairs lol But I may write an Alternate Story with Michelle ending up with FP Jones instead of Jughead.

single story or multi-part story? Multi.

one-shot or multi-chaptered story? Multi.

canon or AU? usually AU unless the Canon is REALLY good. usually stay in The Canon World though.

do you reread your own stories? Yeah all the time lol

do you want to be published some day? Maybe but since I write about Other Creators Characters I don’t think that’s possible.

which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series-Any of The Wrestlers actually being in a Romantic/Sexual Relationship like the one’s I write them in would be ideal. I’d watch it!

one song that captures (Wells of Hearts) The title is literally a Song except it’s WELLS instead of WAR of Hearts. Kings and Queen of Disaster is inspired by Queen of Disaster by Lana Del Rey.

do you plan or do you write whatever comes to your mind? Whenever it pops into My head or when I can.

would you ever write a sequel for (The Mark) I’d write another Baron Corbin x Roxy story but probably not a Sequel to that one since Dean is no longer in WWE.

do you write linear or do you write future scenes if you feel like it? Linear. Though I should just write what pops into My head so I don’t forget it later. That just seems Messy to me.

share the synopsis of a story you work on that you haven’t published yet- The Alpha-My OC Marianna is 18 and Best Friends with Lydia,Alison,Childhood Friends with Scott and Stiles. When She meets Peter (in his Teenage Guise) After much banter and courting by Peter,they start dating. Until Derek tells her the truth about Peter being a WereWolf and killing Alison’s Aunt (She knows Scott’s a WereWolf at this point) and Peter appears to her in his adult form. Marianna breaks up with him but Peter starts stalking her,claiming they have a bond. It turns very dark after that and a year goes by until Marianna admits her real feelings towards him. They start dating again but in secret. Peter ends up turning her and becoming her Alpha,which is when The Group is finally told. After many Deaths,Forgotten memories,a short lived Relationship with Stiles and Memories restored,they end up leaving for Arizona and having a Child,Malia.

share a scene of a story that you haven’t published yet-The Alpha-I noticed his dark slicked back hair and all black attire but I also noticed The Claws on his hands and The Fangs jutting out as he snarled at Stiles,ready to take another swipe at him or a bite. I recognized that look and not just because My Pack,Scott,Derek and Erica,wolf out. This was different this wasn’t out of Protectiveness,because I mean it was Stiles,but Jealousy and Possessiveness,over me. Because this Wolf was... “My Alpha...”” I whispered in shocked realization as My memories started rushing back, I knew something had been missing,I just didn’t know what. “How could I forget you...”

how many unfinished ideas/stories are you working on at the same time? Currently like 5 lol

three spoilers for (Kings and Queen of Disaster)-Suzanna will end up becoming Pregnant with Negan’s Child,Philip Blake will eventually be told of His and Suzie’s Daughter but it will be too late as Negan will end up Killing him after.

writing advice-Nah this has already been too long.

open question to the writer

WLW Fic Rec List

with input from my beautiful friend @gee13

I promised a random anon I would give ‘em a more complete list of recs several months ago so here- in no particular order I have, Glee, Pretty Little Liars, Pitch Perfect, Girl Meets World, Supergirl, The 100, The Good Place, and Riverdale.

There’s very little porn without plot in here, but I went through my favorites on fanfiction.net and my history on Ao3 and if I recognized the fic I put it down. So some might have slipped through.

As I was going through these and rereading some old favorites I forgot about I wrote little bios. If your work, or a work you really like doesn’t have a bio it’s just cause I remembered it was really good and didn’t feel a need to reread it. If you want comment your own and I’ll edit the post and give you credit.

The minimum qualifications for all of these were:

At least 2k words for a one shot, if it was a multi chapter there had to be at least 1k words per chapter (For example: 14 chapters, 14k words)

It had to be completed or updated in the last year ish (but like I was flexible based on the quality, and if I knew the author or the deal or not)

It had to be Ao3 or Fanfiction.net and tagged appropriately (so I could find it)

Also I never really got into g!p stuff because I ran into a lot of transphobic or just really offensive stuff early on which put me off of it.

Or the alpha omega stuff, when my goach found out I was reading fanfiction she said ‘great just nothing with alpha omega shit okay” and that was like four years ago but I don’t care enough now to start. So none of those are on here (maybe in faberry but I don’t think so)

And they also had to be english, my spanish is still pretty bad so I can’t really read any of those- sorry :(

But let me know if the link ain’t right. And if you think something should be added let me know too, and I’ll read it and add it, and give you credit. My tastes have changed over the years to be slightly so if there’s something here that you think is distateful message me being like “can you reread this?” because it might’ve slipped through. Or I might be like “m8 thats some gay ass shit right there, agr33 to disagr33.” We’re all just here to read out otps getting together again and again in different ways, let’s just be chill about it

But don’t worry- what’s important is at the end of the day they’re all very very gay.

Copper Down - so I went on a clexa spree and so there’s gonna be a shit ton of those on here

More Than You Think You Are - a little ooc at times but pretty gosh darn amazing oh my god

masquerade dreams

blood rush in the hazy glow - this killed me, I wish the author would give us an epilogue, maybe Clarke and Lexa buying the bar together and watching some lost college kids come in making it a circle or something, but really really really amazing Jesus

I’ll travel through time to save you

In Another Life - a little Lexark for ya, it’s a short, fun, satisfying read you can knock out in thirty minutes

Origamis - to prepare ya’ll for the single mom au I’m dropping probably never but have planned out in my head to a tee

The Wife Project: By Professor Alexandria Woods - Autistic!lexa is honestly one of my favorite head canons that I believe is 100% true, and this fic writes it effortlessly

Almost Three - angsty but interesting concept- definitely enjoyable and I’ve reread it multiple times

Some Angels Fall

Commander in Chief - the best part about this is that in this universe trump is in jail

i’ll give you the moon - some christmas fluff

she gave me a good character (but said I could not swim) - angsty and unfullfilling so you know I love it

The White Queen Running - I loved every moment of this fic and it’s (unfinished) sequal - The Red King Awake, while admittedly hard to follow at times it’s still incredibly sweet while also being angsty and intriguing. 10/10 would read again. Also there’s so much fanart for it? Like really really good fanart? I’ve actually saved some of the better pieces to give me inspiration when I write tbh…

An Unfinished Fight - wonderful concept but would’ve loved to see the ending scene played out more, still an overall amazing fic and honestly so satisfying

Love Letters and Coffee Grounds - a warm christmas fluff for ya that’s ridiculously long but still great.

It’s in My Roots, in My Veins, in My Blood (and I Stain Every Heart That I Use to Heal the Pain - a little bit of plot exhaustion by the end, you can probably just stop reading after the second denny’s scene and then skip to the epilouge but still so fantastic. I stayed up till 2am reading this and have no regrets

This Isn’t Our Fate (But You’re Still My Destiny) - lexark and clexa in one amazing fic! Sign me the fuck up! Really fucking cute and fluffy and totally angsty headcannons for elyza I love.

An Adventure - I love the characterization for Aden and I love this so much in gerneral tbh

you’re magic & you’re real - I like exactly four headcanons about the 100 characters: autistic!lexa, dyslexic!clarke, nonbinary!octavia, and I can’t remember the other one. It doesn’t matter, all of the mentioned above are in this and it’s very gay and wonderful and I actually wish I could make a movie out of this because it’s so great

by her side - a warm fluffy christmas fic for yall

Let Your Hair Down - dunno, cute af I guess

The Days of our Lives - a series I didn’t have the patience to finish but I have adhd so… the first one was fantastic and I loved the second one, but it keeps going so the others are probably good too

Today at Dust - helpful if you want to cry

who told you that you were naked? - fantastic, like seriously one of the best things I’ve read.

i can fly higher than an eagle (for you are the wind beneath my wings) - GREAT if you want to cry. Not clexa centered but at the end yeah… It’s about Anya and Lexa

I have lost my pain - creative and interesting, well written and well done. A very good fic in all manners of speaking

I Will Wait (You Forgave And I Won’t Forget) - just a cute oneshot that’s very well written and gripping

A Forest Fire - I’m a sucker for fix it fics

Fallen - a series I didn’t have the paitence to finish but again, symptom of my adhd, the first book and second book’s first half was fantastic and cute. I just love the headcanon for Clarke

Fix You - angsty but also amazing?

Mystic Coffee - did this inspire fanart or was it inspired by the witch!clarke fanart?

the business of caring - I’m a huge fan of this author’s style of writing, it’s funny and straight to the point and very dry, I read this until 3:30am last night and I had to get up at 6 the next day

what the ground grows - written by the same author and you can see the similarities in voice. Seriously both are amazing but this one is considerably more angsty than the one above

I’m bigger than my body, I’m colder than this home (I’m meaner than my demons, I’m bigger than these bones) - so angsty but so wonderful, I actually cried so hats off to you author…

The Witch of Ceder Plains - a cute two shot

July 4th 2016 - not really a series like the description promises but a very good stand alone story that was well written

If Love Were Enough and the heartbreaking prequal What I Lost In You - both oneshots, both genius

Bury it and Rise Above - mideval oneshot that I love

Ramen, Redbull, and Spite - I need a comic book based off this, it’s genius

find your way to me - fuck this fic, no really, I stayed up till 4am reading it when I had to get up at 8 the next day. Fuck this fucking shit. Mainly fluff until everything falls apart

Sacred Spaces - wasn’t gonna cause it’s just a oneshot and the description is so bad but shit the imagery in here is to die for and I feel like I’m reading a van gogh painting seriously

maybe they will sing for us tomorrow: the only thing I’ve ever printed a hard copy of its my all time favourite probably (description and initial reccomendation by @lexascandlestores)

Everything by this author is so good in the clexa section I would reccomend all of it seriously oh my god

move on me: reincarnation fic that’s really beautiful (description and initial reccomendation by @lexascandlestores)

Against the multiverse: a really fun clever one shot (description and initial reccomendation by @lexascandlestores)

ultraviolet lights - a lexark one shot that headcannons Elyza in a way I haven’t seen her before (a soft gay extra mess)

Hope is the Thing with Feathers (That Perches in the Soul) - I really love the daemon universe even though I’ve seen very little of it. This was very vivid though and had great imagery...

You’re Love Is a Waiting Game - I don’t think the author knew how to end this which is why the ending wasn’t perfect, but it’s overall so amazing I love it and it’s def worth the read

a year of sundays - a bit of a slow read at times and a bit mind boggling at times that they don’t figure it out sooner but very fluffy and amazing and very in character

your hand in mine and it’s sequal your hand in mine (pt. ii) - at the time of my writing this I have not yet finished part two but the first one was mastered so well I can only imagine its counterpart will be of a similar nature. Also there’s smut in this

Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks - a series about clexa in the middle of a turfwar, it’s just three well written one shots that are gripping and have a lot of imagery and realism.

Something Suspicously Close to Hope - read if you like crying and Stranger Things, it’s a series of one shots about Eleven being adopted by Clexa and I love them

beat the devil’s tattoo - I haven’t read the one for anya but I imagine, if it’s anything like this- it’s pretty darn good

And I am driftwood, found. - really emotional, I read the first part but never finished it but this forced me to go back and reread it. Definitely worth it.

Feels Like Home - a short but satisfying read with very good characterization

a hand to hold on to series - definitely prioritizes family over romance but the kids were very realistic and I liked what they did when they placed Lexa in such a new situation so fast. I feel like people characterize her as bad with kids a lot but I don’t think she was...

or what you will - realiztic and heartfelt, I liked the poetry it was additive and insightful

enchanted. - are there ever enough harry potter AUs? Could’ve done with some more angst but this was acceptable.

She (thefooliam): a classical emotional roommates fic that just nails all the feels (description and initial reccomendation by @lexascandlestores)

This is heaven in hiding: lawyer multi chapter that’s really good and pretty smutty though! ()

Markenland Series - there’s just two right now but I think they plan on writing a third. Anyway, very cute, I loved the characterization and the slowburn but not kill me this is taking too long slowburn

More Women than Warriors - I can’t begin to describe how much I love this, one of my favorite things I’ve read of all time. Please read this.

Empath - gay

Love Is Blindness (I Don’t Want to See) - my dad sat next to the daughter of a notorius kingpin when he was in highschool, once she asked to borrow a pencil and never gave it back and he watched her use it for like three months and said nothing.

Habromaniac: cute one shot ( description and initial reccomendation by @lexascandlestores)

this heart, fossilized and silent (once was tender, and once was violent) - surprisingly little angst after the beginning but in still a very realistic way. very fast paced in terms of action, I certainly was never bored...

Suffrage - there will never be a time when I am not interested in twentieth century, cross dressing, feminist clexa fighting for the rights of women

No Church In The Wild: one of the best heartbreaking canon one shots ever (description and recomendation by @lexascandlestores)

Kiss Me, Kill Me; It’s Just The Same Isn’t It? - lexark, a little bit of poetic fluff thrown in there but it hit just that perfect mix of clexa and lexark, very good

the earth, that is sufficent - written for clexa week I loved every chapter of it. Each peice was a standalone but also worked cohesively with the others. Flawless, seriously.

Into the Wild Blue - I just love southern clexa okay? Leave me alone

it’s called contraband for a reason - written by one of the best clexa authors of all time it’s hilarious, sweet, in character, poignant and well done. At times the format takes away more than it adds but it allows the reader to compare and contrast the beginning and the end and see the character’s develop more clearly.

there is no sweeter innocence (than our gentle sin) - this author may or may not be a genius Imma go binge all of their works and let you know. This was vv good at least. One shot

we’re only young & naive still (the bittersweet between my teeth) - part of that gaf au (you can find here) that I love so much... just a one shot but the different perspectives are done really well which is a hard thing to do well

Before Words, Beyond Silence, and it’s unfinished sequal, In the Screaming Silence - it has that satisfying instant clexa connection while not sacrificing plot or angst, no trust me, it didn’t sacrifice angst. I think the ice queen plot was a little rushed but it’s still fantastic and I’m excited to see where the sequal goes!

Skylark - A superhero fic that’s pretty damn cool. Clarke and the gang had illegal experiments done to them by Mount Weather and it gave them superpowers. They fight crime while trying to remain anonymous as well. This story is so clever and incorporates the City of Light/chips/ flame so cool, and Clexa are badasses, and just…read it, trust me. (Description and initial reccomendation done by @dreamsaremywords on this rec list)

You See The Smile That’s On My Mouth (it’s hiding the words that don’t come out) - A childhood modern au where Clarke and Lexa are fuckin soulmates and best friends and it takes them a ridiculous amount of time to figure that out. (Description and initial reccomendation done by @dreamsaremywords on this rec list)

The World Had Less Color Without You - it’s a college au where Clexa become friends after being paired together for a project, and fall in love even though they’re both terrified of it. (Description and initial reccomendation done by @dreamsaremywords on this rec list)

Love on the Ground - This!! fic!!! is fucking fantastic. Canon-verse, angsty, so, so good. Just read it. (Description and initial reccomendation done by @dreamsaremywords on this rec list)

Mysteries of Love - There’s another apocalypse, but Clexa are soulmates, and there’s a happy ending. (Description and initial reccomendation done by @dreamsaremywords on this rec list)

Essays in Existentialism: FtWD - a writer on tumblr publishes a lot of fics, either multi or oneshots under the ‘essays in exstentialism’ I haven’t read any beyond this lexark multi but this lexark multi was pretty fricken amazing ngl. Unfortunately hasn’t been updated in more than a year so it’s a pretty big risk

You Ask My Name (and All I do is Listen) - I had every sort of feeling about this, it’s super in character and incredibly well done

The Library - a bar au with a perfect mix of instant connection and angst, really well done

possibility days - a celeb au that’s well written and annoyingly filled with useless lesbian themes for both our idiots

Hooked on a feeling - an HP au I waited a million years to be updated and then finally was and what I’m trying to tell you is it’s amazing and worth it and wonderful and fluffy and I’ll love it forever

gera’s step-sister au - a lot of porn, Idk why but I tried to read this a billion years ago but I reread it recently and loved it. But yeah - definition of porn with feelings

Come Morning Light - this author writes a lot of kid fics but this is one of my favorites. In character and well written with a heartbreakingly poetic style. I love it.

most ardently - like some of these authors fics are amazing (like this one) and some are dumb as shit and like? Are there co authors? Are you like multiple people? I don’t know but this was amazing, historical clexa is historical clexa. Has some themes of the suffragette au from my first rec list but carves out a nice space for itself.

Punchline - a oneshot where Clarke wanders around the world and runs into Lexa a lot except it’s angsty and beautiful and there’s a lot of imagery

clexa eternal au - painful heartbreaking well written fantastic. I love most of the stuff by this author too so like you can’t really go wrong

pump mud through my veins - I wasn’t sure about the structure at first but they did something really cool with it and honestly well done

out at sea - okay I saw the tumblr post for this but I gotta say they did something interesting and fun with it and I don’t mind. Well writtten and vv cute

we will meet again - put off reading this because I was prepared for endless heartbreaks. Did happen but totally worth it. Don’t worry there’s a happy ending

Zoo Parks and Restoration - I got annoyed with plot exhaustion but the amount of well done clexa in this made it perfect. I never really like modern aus that much but I love this

The Whore’s Queen - took a little bit to get going but once it did... damn...

We Looked Like Giants - for some reason I put this off but there was no reason to? It’s so good? And very in character?

when my heart is at war - I can’t wait for the sequals, the first one is incredible!

Fall Away - a lot deeper and angstier than the thing got me ready for, really amazing and really well done. Love them lesbians

we could be immortals - put this off for some reason I don’t know why. Very in character, very true to high school I think, and funny and sarcastic and well written. it’s a highschool au but it’s more in character than that, and there’s plenty that links it to canon. I prefer canon tbh, but this was a nice fluff break

The Taste of War and Heartache - angsty and unfinished this is another incredible work by thefooliam. I would ten/ten reccomend because where it leaves off is pretty okay. It’s a canon au but it has some modern elements for those who prefer that. Really a great fic.

Bellamy x Murphy

if you only knew (my heart is breaking) - murphy is immortal and it’s angsty, this actually introduced me to this ship and I don’t normally like mlm but I kinda love this?

cynophilia - geez I don’t know why I love this ship all of a sudden wow

(you owe me twenty) - this actually ends with Murphy and Emori but it’s still super well written and well done

The Good Place

Tahani x Eleanor

True Love Is What Janet and Jianyu Have - this author is actually getting a lot of the second season right tbh

Riverdale/Archie Comics

Beronica

Can I Kiss You?

maybe being in a closet isnt so bad

Real Bisexual Kissing

Thaw - a real fluffy piece that won’t leave you angry and sad at all :)))))))))

Friends Don’t Let Friends Suffer Alone

The list as of 10/1/18

That’s it for now, I’ll probably reblog it with a continued list or post another list later as I go through more fics and more are reccomended and updated and finished. I just thought I’d post it now for obvious reasons...

As mentioned in my last post - I went to Bavaria and I saw the musical “Ludwig 2″. Consider myself hooked at the moment.

I want a Disney movie about Ludwig II featuring Empress Sisi as a Disney princess. I want Disney to romantize all the bad things away and I want them to go full-gay and have Ludwig be the first gay Disney prince.

And now let me explain why.

I mean, I’ve always had a fascination with King Ludwig II and I always had the OTP Ludwig/happiness, because he would have truly deserved his own Prince Charming. After a tiny bit of digging, I found out that aside from his one-sided love for Richard Wagner, he was apparently in relationships with both a literal prince - Paul von Thurn und Taxis - and his stable-master Richard Hornig (the pun about riding is really hard to suppress here).

So, before I get into the musical, let me introduce who’s on the picture, left to right:

Prince Otto of Bavaria, Ludwig’s little brother

Count Alfred von Dürckheim, Ludwig’s best friend and confidant

King Ludwig II of Bavaria

Empress Sisi of Austria, Ludwig’s cousin and closest friend

Duchess Sophie in Bavaria, ex-fiance of Ludwig and younger sister of Sisi

Now, I’d like to get into the musical a bit to explain, because my guess is not many have seen it. Considering it’s a German musical only playing in ooone location. The background of the picture is the view you have when standing in front of the theatre where the musical is playing. It is literally across the lake, right opposite of Castle Neuschwanstein.

The musical was about King Ludwig II and his life. In a sort-of similar way as Hamilton; that is to say, it is vastly romantized and not actual history, of course.

Now, as priviously mentioned, Ludwig was gay. But going into this musical, I never expected to get a “Our love can not be”-like duet between Ludwig and a male lover. I’m a realist like that. Ludwig II is literally the most beloved king we had and Bavaria is two things - a country very proud of their cultural heritage aaand the most Christian place in all of Germany. So for a cultural icon to be portayed as gay... yeah, we’re about two to three decades too early for that, by Bavarian standards. I mean, come on, we’re talking about people still laughing the hardest when Prussians are being insulted or made fun of because they’re still hung up on that feud. Which is like literally two centuries old. And Prussians don’t even exist anymore.

So, I had no hopes for gay romance, despite how much I’d have loved it. But it would have also been nice if they hadn’t invented a love-story for Ludwig and Sisi. To explain that, let me recap a little first;

Ludwig became king when he was 18 because his father died. He was a dreamer who would have preferred music and fairy tales and magic over war and death. But his hand was forced; either back up the Prussians in the war or have the Prussians go to war against Bavaria in retalliation. So he was forced to send his younger brother Otto into the war too - and Otto came back a changed and broken man, suffering from PTSD. (The musical had two amazing numbers on PTSD, which surprised me. One sung by Otto, about the nightmares he faced and is still suffering under. And one sung by Ludwig, about losing his brother and wanting him back, asking Otto to return to him.)

For some time, Ludwig was engaged to Sophie, Sisi’s younger sister (that “some time” being right in the year after his princely lover broke up with him to marry a woman as his family pressured him to do). It’s pretty obvious that he broke the engagement off because he was gay and he couldn’t force himself to marry a woman. He died as a king without a queen.

Now, the musical instead spun the tale that Ludwig broke the engagement to Sophie off because he was in love with Sisi. Which he wasn’t. Aside from the whole, ya know, being gay thing, Sisi was his closest friend and nothing more. I’m convinced she might have also been the only person he ever confided in about being gay.

So that part irked me. Because I dislike best friends turned lovers plots anyway, but in that case it was such a straight-washing.

They did, however, put a musical number in that, if they’re pretending Ludwig is straight, really confuses me. The song is called “Die Schweigenden werden verstehen”, meaning “Those keeping silent will understand”, which in its lyrics and sub-text was read by me as a heavy wink that anyone in the closet will understand why Ludwig had to do what he did. Especially since it was sung by his nanny, who always supported him, Sisi his best friend, and his ex-fiance Sophie.

Straight-washing aside, I really truly shipped the hell out of Dürckheim and Ludwig. As above mentioned, I really just always wanted my king to be happy because he lead such a tragic life. And literally the only moment in the musical where he was truly happy, where he was running around laughing and being carefree, was when he showed off Neuschwanstein, still in the middle of being built, to Dürckheim. And just... the way Dürckheim was looking at him, in such fond exasperation, that was such a real expression that it startled me. It was loving. Not to mention, throughout the musical Dürckheim was fiercely protective of his king and always stood true and by his side.

But let me get a bit into why his life was tragic. Bavaria is very, very Christian and the love of God is and was very important. So for Ludwig, it was a harsh conflict, what he was feeling and what the general interpretation of his religion deemed right (I don’t want to say what his religion deems right, because Christianity isn’t against gays; it’s dickheads using religion as a tool to oppress others that twist it to fit their agenda). He spent a lot of his kingdom’s money - and also a lot of money his kingdom didn’t have - on his castle projects. His beautiful fairy tale castles. He was a dreamer and not cut out for war either.

So in the musical, you see this cabinet of villains who want to dethrone him, who blackmail a psychiatrist to declare Ludwig unfit to rule, because they wanted war and he stood in the way of that.

Ludwig was declared unfit to rule and he was held in detention, historically speaking. But no one really knows what happened after that. Ludwig and his doctor went to the lake. It wasn’t a deep lake, it barely reached their knees. Yet later in the evening, both were found dead. To this day, no one knows what truly happened. If Ludwig, driven mad by the wars and his own inner conflict, killed himself and his doctor, of if both were assassinated by those who had taken the throne from Ludwig to make sure the people’s beloved king could not rise again.

Obviously, the musical went for the second route. Because what’s a good story without villains? (And villains are also a very important ingredient for a good Disney-movie.)

And that’s it. That’s the most basic summary of the musical and his life and of what I’d love to see in the movie. I mean, obviously they'd cut back on the PTSD because it should be child appropriate - and I can tell you, I as a 25 year old woman sat real mortified in the theatre at the overwhelming imagery they chose for those scenes.

The musical just... left me very convinced that Ludwig and Dürckheim were more than just friends. And Ludwig would have deserved this love. He really did.

Anyway, as a child I grew up with the cartoon show Sisi and I loved it. To me, she was always one of the unofficial Disney princesses along with Odette and Anastasia.

Which brings me to what I want. I’d love to see Sisi as an actual Disney princess. Romantize the SHIT out of Ludwig and Sisi and their lives like you did with Hercules. But I’d be over the moon and back if Ludwig were to be the first official animated homosexual Disney character. Tell his story, AND use Sisi as his best friend - that way, you get a gay and you still get a Disney princess. You’d also get a straight love story in it due to Sisi and Franz, which as romantized as the cartoon show had it was basically THE it-couple of royalty to me as a child.

I mean, come on, this covers everything a good Disney movie needs. A princess. A prince. Music - because Ludwig was obsessed with music and art so the musical elements would fit rather neatly. The literal fairy tale castle.

So, to round this thing up, this above is what I’d love to see.

#Ludwig II #Empress Sisi #Historically incorrect #but who cares?#Dürckwig #Sisi and Ludwig were bffs #nothing more damn it #Ludwig 2 the Musical #Disney should go gay #Ludwig for Gay Disney Prince!#King Ludwig II of Bavaria

Note

For the character ask: Glinda and Dorothy (Wizard of Oz 1939)

Dorothy

Favorite thing about them: She's an all-around likable character; a nice, warm-hearted, relatable every-girl, whose "heroine's journey" is engaging and enjoyable to follow.

Least favorite thing about them: Hmmm... there's not much to dislike about her. Maybe that she tries to run away from home without considering at first how much her aunt and uncle will miss her and worry about her. But since she's just (approximately) a 12-year-old girl and desperate to save her dog's life, it can be excused, especially because she feels so guilty about it later.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I have brown hair.

*I'm sensitive and a bit of a dreamer.

*I love dogs.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I've never lived with an aunt and uncle.

*I don't live on a farm.

*I could never manage a long journey on foot in high heels (though maybe if they were magic, I could).

Favorite line:

"Someplace where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain..."

All the lyrics to "Over the Rainbow."

To Miss Gulch when she comes to take Toto away – a good scene to remember whenever critics accuse the screenwriters of robbing Baum's young heroine of her spunk:

"I won't let you take him! You go away, you....! Oooh, I'll bite you myself! You wicked old witch!"

To the fearsome giant head of the Wizard – more good lines to remember any time a critic labels her a weakling:

"You ought to be ashamed of yourself, frightening him like that when he came for you to help!"

"If you were really great and powerful, you'd keep your promises!"

And of course, the iconic line when she first arrives in Munchkinland:

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!"

brOTP: The Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and their real-world equivalents, Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke.

OTP: Safety and happiness.

nOTP: Any of the other characters; they're all too old for her.

Random headcanon: Her parents died in a fire. This explains why fire and smoke are associated both with the Wicked Witch and with the Wizard's initial frightening appearance in her dream.

Unpopular opinion: I don't think she's too much of a damsel in distress or a crybaby. Now, I understand why feminists complain that she's less spunky and no-nonsense than Baum's original Dorothy. But (a) she's older than Baum's Dorothy – it's natural for an adolescent-ish girl to be more emotional than a small child, (b) she's not without her own spunk – she still stands up to people who behave badly or threaten her friends, and even slaps the nose of a lion (not yet knowing that he's a coward) in Toto's defense, (c) Baum's Dorothy cries fairly often too – I don't know where the myth that she hardly ever cries came from, and (d) with all the danger and turmoil she goes through, I think she's entitled to a little terror and a few tears!

Song I associate with them: What else?

youtube

Favorite pictures of them:

Glinda

Favorite thing about them: Besides being such a kind protector of the Munchkins and helper to Dorothy, I like that she's a little bit ditzy in a funny way, or at least lacking in knowledge of humans and earth animals: e.g. asking if Toto is a witch. It saves her from being just a sugary "good fairy" stereotype. Also, her cheerful nonchalance in the face of the Wicked Witch's threats: true proof that in Oz, good is stronger than evil.

Least favorite thing about them: The fact that she knows all along that the ruby slippers can take Dorothy home, but instead of telling her, she sends her on the journey to the Wizard, putting her at risk of being caught by the Wicked Witch. "She wouldn't have believed me" is an awfully flimsy explanation why. Now, I don't think she has any dark ulterior motive – it's just the screenwriters' awkward patch-up of the plot hole they created by combining Baum's Glinda (who doesn't meet Dorothy until the end of the book) and the unnamed Good Witch of the North (who sends Dorothy to the Wizard because she doesn't know about the shoes' power) into one character. But if I could rewrite any part of the classic movie, it would be to change her explanation... maybe to say that Dorothy had to go on her journey to help her friends find their brain, heart, and courage and to destroy the Wicked Witch, as well as to learn that there's no place like home.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I'm female.

*I like to help others.

*I like pink.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I'm not a witch, good or bad.

*I don't have red hair.

*I don't usually wear sparkles.

Favorite line:

Her iconic first line:

"Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?"

About Toto:

"Oh! Well, is that the witch?"

And to the Wicked Witch:

"Oh, rubbish! You have no power here. Be gone, before somebody drops a house on you, too."

brOTP: Dorothy, in a surrogate mother/daughter or fairy godmother/goddaughter type of way.

OTP: None; she's a happy, powerful single woman and this doesn't need to change.

nOTP: The Wizard or the Wicked Witch of the West.

Random headcanon:

(1) An "Oz is real" headcanon: Like Baum's original Glinda, she's centuries old and was in Oz long before the Wizard ever came.

(2) An "Oz is Dorothy's dream" headcanon: She looks like Dorothy's late mother. She might seem to be the only main character in Oz who has no counterpart in Kansas, but really she does.

Unpopular opinion: I wish more of the adaptations, spin-offs, sequels, etc. would portray her as a redhead again. She has red hair in both the original book and the classic film, so why do Wicked, Oz the Great and Powerful, and their like always make her blonde? Is it a legal issue with MGM, or is it just anti-redhead prejudice?

Song I associate with them: "Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are."

youtube

Favorite pictures of them:

Favorite of the silver trio (Luna, Neville or Ginny) ?

Luna. I’ve always liked the dreamers.

Favorite of the Fantastic Quartet ?

I’m stuck. I love Newt and I feel that seing a movie where the male protagonist is soft and kind and always try to avoid conflict is so refreshing. But Queenie makes my heart melt every time I see her.

NOTP ?

Anything involving Snape or Gilderoy Lockhart.

Tea

Favorite Movie ?

Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, although right now one of the movies which made me feel the happier is Swiss Army Man.

Favorite band/artist

Okay, I have this weird thing where I don’t feel confortable talking about my music taste.But what I can say without feeling weird is that I always walk in the street listening to music and I just make up little scenarios with every song and truly the music I like the best is the one that makes the better stories.

Favorite book series ?

Harry Potter (duh), everything Daniel Pennac wrote about the Malaussène family, I don’t read a lot of book series anymore, I should start again.

Favorite stand alone book ?

Rant by Palahniuk & La Nuit Juste Avant les Forêts by Bernard-Marie Koltès

Book you loved as a child ?

Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Peggy Sue et les fantômes, Molly Moon, Hermux Tantamoq

Cats all the way.

I don’t know if it’s because I never really knew a dog or grew up with one but I don’t care for them.

Humor: ludicrous/cracky premises treated seriously or unseriously; comedic action sequences; comedy of errors; hijinks; absurdity; gallows humor.

Romance: first times; get-together; pining; friends to lovers; enemies to lovers; UST; belligerent sexual tension; flirting, especially when one character doesn’t think the other is being serious; flirting in established relationships; possessiveness and jealousy without entitlement.

Action/Adventure: time travel; interdimensional/multiverse travel; escaping from captivity together; camaraderie, teamwork, unusual team-ups; missions/cases and snippets thereof; undercover as XYZ; identity porn; road trips of the terrestrial, extraterrestrial, aquatic, and supernatural varieties; space travel; visiting other planets; wilderness survival; climactic warehouse confrontations; wacky foes/locations/circumstances for battles; bar fights.

Smut: characters feeling overwhelmed; lots of emotions; awkwardness; praise kink; unexpectedly compatible; kink discovery/exploration; characters being really into their partner and/or what they’re doing and/or how into what they’re doing their partner is. I will read pretty much any kink besides my DNWs if the characters are jazzed about being together and doing the specific act(s).

Miscellany: atmosphere, mood, immediacy; character studies; missing moments; surrealism; slice of life; domesticity; appetizing descriptions of food; diners; carnivals; big scary buildings with tragic histories; mansions; abandoned mansions; secluded or remote locations; forests; beaches; holidays; seasons; weather; thunderstorms; getting caught in the rain.

DISHONORED

Corvo Attano/Delilah Copperspoon Delilah Copperspoon/Emily Kaldwin

Delilah! She's the best/worst. What if her coup in Dishonored 2 taken a slightly different approach? Alternately, what if she'd shown up earlier to claim the throne? I'm tickled by her creeping on Corvo as the Heart and her tension with both Corvo and Emily. I'm fine with UST or weird feelings/foe-yay instead of straight-up romance for both pairings.

Please note that I love these games + world/lore and am spoiled for everything.

Freeforms Requested:

Disastrously Incompatible Political Marriage: Because it so would be. How might future history books characterize a Corvo/Delilah or Delilah/Emily co-rulership? What about journalism of the day? How would they fare resolving problems in the empire? Diplomacy? Daily life? Or maybe they suck as co-rulers, but unexpectedly discover that they’re okay at fighting together or living an average life?

Disastrous Wedding Ceremony Everyone Will Gossip About For Years: PLEASE. How rushed or drawn-out was the wedding planning? Has one of them been trying to sabotage the ceremony with clashing decor choices, or perhaps with murder? ...Does the Outsider crash the reception?

Is my spouse trying to kill me | Someone's trying to kill me and I think it's my spouse: Grouped together for being thematically similar. I feel like Delilah is a more likely candidate for the role of spouse-attempting-murder, but I’m intrigued by the reverse as well.

Marriage is Interrupted by an Assassination Attempt and they Continue After they Take Care of Them | planned assassination during wedding night goes wrong: Again, grouped together for thematic similarities. Who hired the poor assassins? If Delilah or Corvo / Emily end up having to use their powers, how do they deal with the aftermath?

MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE

Peter Parker/Tony Stark 2012!Tony Stark/Peter Parker

Wooooo! \m/ This is my MCU OTP at the moment. I adore their mutual importance to each other, their easy teamwork and camaraderie despite the age gap, and the potential for ANGST ANGST ANGST and pining as well as humor and fluff. I love stuff where they’ve been pining mutually and self-awarely for a long time, but also stuff where one or both parties don’t realize their feelings until XYZ catalyst forces them to.

Please note that my underage DNW does apply here, although UST and feelings/pining while Peter is underage are fine with me.

I'm totally down with Infinity War / Endgame compliance or canon divergence AUs (e.g., the universe where Thanos disappeared in 2014, AUs where they defeated Thanos in IW, Civil War was resolved without Tony recruiting Peter, etc.). Please feel free to run with the freeforms as-is, or check out the expansions and prompts below.

Freeforms Requested:

Accidental Travel to an Alternate Universe With an Unexpected Spouse | Permanently Transported To Alternate Universe Where They're Married To Person Who Is Dead In Theirs | Temporarily Transported To Alternate Universe Where They're Married To Person Who Is Dead In Theirs: I’m intrigued by the idea of Peter traveling to an alternate universe where he’s somehow married to Tony, but also by the idea of Tony -- post-IW Tony, perhaps -- stumbling on a world where he’s married to Peter, perhaps in the course of trying to reverse the Snap.

Trapped In Fake Perfect World That Includes Marriage They Don't Believe They Can Ever Really Have: Oh no! Who’s trapped? Who’s the fake perfect spouse? What compels the trapped party to give up the fake perfect world, and how difficult is it and why?

Always Married to Same Person When You Dream | Marriage within dreams becomes real: Is the dreamer pining, mourning, or experiencing a more complicated situation (e.g., a spell, meetings on the astral plane, meetings in a temporary afterlife, meetings in a space between universes, premonitions of a breach between universes, etc.)? I am very fond of dreams and surreality in fic, so I would love to see that sort of atmosphere incorporated too if it floats your boat.

Aliens Make Them Get Married: YESSSSS. Whatever the justification, I love this trope.

Characters Keep "Forgetting" to Annul Accidental Marriage | Series of Mishaps Prevent Annulment of Accidental Marriage: This seems like it could be hilarious. :D

Carried Over The Threshold: I just really like this image! Though I’m partial to Peter carrying Tony, the other way around appeals to me too.

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY

Allison Hargreeves/Luther Hargreeves

I will admit I wasn’t sold on Allison/Luther during my first viewing of the series, but subsequent viewings have decidedly awoken me to their charm. I’m super interested in the idea of an incongruously sweet connection arising from the fucked-up-ness of their upbringing, and in exploring how that connection carries over into their adult lives.

Allison became a superstar; Luther spent four years alone on the moon. How did they part, back when the siblings went their separate ways as young adults? Where was Luther during Allison’s wedding? How did Allison learn what happened to him? Did they keep in touch directly, or just hear about each other incidentally from the people they did maintain contact with?

If you can tell from the selected freeforms, I am here for tropey fluff and angst for this pairing. I also really like canon divergent AUs -- The Day That Wasn’t, handwavey “we averted the apocalypse after all” AUs, for want of a nail, etc. -- and futurefic. I enjoy Claire and would love to see her meet Luther. In general, though, I’d just like to explore these two more.

Note: I would prefer that any fic written for me in this exchange not focus more than briefly on the incest aspect of this pairing. Outsiders can be horrified that the adopted siblings are getting it on, but the Hargreeves children don’t seem to care a lot in-universe, and I’d like it to stay that way in fic.

Number Five | The Boy/Vanya Hargreeves

So. Five is a dick to everyone, but he’s slightly less of a dick to Vanya. What’s up with that? Or: How close were they as kids, and how might they reconnect as adults?

I’m really interested in how a relationship might develop between these two in a future fic or canon divergence AU. Maybe Five only zapped forward in time for a little while, or was able to return at an earlier point in time than 2019? Maybe Vanya was able to learn to control her powers as a child and grew up as a participating member of the Academy? Maybe -- maybe! -- the siblings managed to avert the apocalypse, and they’re adjusting to life together in the aftermath? I don’t know! I’m interested in all kinds of things.

I love the idea of Vanya and Five as a battle couple or married coworkers, and of them getting together while on a case/mission. A while ago, someone on FFA brought up the idea of them undercover fake married in 1950s suburbia, and I am SO into that -- both the specific setting, and the concept of Five/Vanya going undercover as a fake married couple in various eras/locations.

Please be advised that my underage DNW includes Five having sex while in his younger body. UST is fine, but I’d like Five to physically be an adult for any sexual situations.
