FFFX Letter

[firewins]

Dear FFFX Creator, Thanks so much for checking out my letter! I'm very excited to see what you might create!

 

The theme for my requests this exchange seems to be Battle Couples! 
 

I want to just say upfront that I love experimental styles, unconventional interpretations of tropes, and anything else weird! If it isn't explicitly on my DNW I'm here for it! If you see something on my likes list and want to do an unconventional twist on it that breaks down the trope? Go for it!

 

Basically if you have an idea run with it, I'll probably love it! 

 

Note: Anywhere I made a solo character request I'm open to fic featuring that character in a ship or platonic relationship (I'll DNW any ships i'm not comfortable but other than that go wild!) 

(Sorry this letter is a little unfinished. I have at least something for every request though!)

 Marvel (616)

• Clint Barton/Kate Bishop 
• Barney Barton/Clint Barton/Kate Bishop 

My main experience with both of these ships is the fraction/aja hawkeye comics. They absolutely got me hooked on Marvel comics and both of the Hawkeyes!

 

Why I like this tag:

Clint Barton/Kate Bishop
One of my favorite ships! I've shipped this since the first time i read the fraction/aja comics! There's just something about them? There's this underlying longing and mutual admiration in that comic that gets me every time! They are so beautifully in sync as heroes. But there's this strain between them sometimes, words unsaid? -Special favs: disaster Clint, super competent Kate, bamf hawkeyes (both of them), deaf Clint, use of asl in fic, angst, fluff, hurt/comfort, happy endings, mention of the age difference, 
 

 

Barney Barton/Clint Barton/Kate Bishop 

A special kind of problematic rare pair hell! Clint and Barney have this kind of close dysfuntional relationship that I love in my incest ships. While Kate and Clint work so well together. I feel like Kate could really somewhat stabilize the dysfunctional relationship between Clint and Barney! Ugh I just really love the idea of this ship! -Special favs: (everything listed for clint/kate), domestic fluff, Kate being the sensible one, Clint's self worth issues, accidentally falling into polyamory, domestic angst,  

 

Prompts:

Clint/Kate

• Any form of mission fic 
• Clint and Kate have to fake date for...reasons? 
• soulbonds, magical proximity spells and anything similar!
• Something based on the west coast avengers (2019) comics? (in those Kate is running a new team and invites clint to help out, also they have a documentary crew following the team) I adore the idea of them trying to secretly date while living with a team AND a documentary crew underfoot!

 

Barney/Clint/Kate

• (Any of the clint/kate prompts with added barney)
• Kate and Barney hooking up to deal with their respective feelings for clint?
• The three of them have to go undercover at a circus for... reasons?

 

 

Star Wars The Clone Wars
 

• CC-2224 | Cody/CT-7567 | Rex
• Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker

Star Wars was the fandom that got me into doing exchanges and is still one of my favorite fandoms to be in!
 

Why I like this tag: 
Cody/Rex:
The tragedy of love in a war! Of two people created to be soldiers and nothing more finding eachother! Of leaders of two armies that work together often (I mean the 501st and 212th do work together alot) but also must be apart the rest of the time! It's the humanity found in small actions and affection that the clones were never expected to have... Uh or something like that? I just really like them! While I'm very here for war based angst i like fluffy stuff too! 

 

Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker:
I have never met a dynamic that i didn't think could be made better with polyamory. Clone Wars Obi-Wan has chemistry with everyone! And I actually love Clone Wars Anidala! So what's better than turning it into an ot3?

 

Prompts:
Cody/Rex

• Order 66 fix its!
• Order 66 angst!
• A post order 66 fic with Rex finding out the cody also survived/rescuing and dechipping him? (Note: TBB season 2 will come out before the end of FFFX and signs point towards Cody being in it so if that wreck the timeline possibilities for this prompt just know I'd be fine with fic that ignores the events of TBB S2 or fic that is based entirely on them!)  
• Cody and Rex retiring after/running away from the war?
• Rebels era fic?
• Misson fic or codas?
• Coms logs between them?

Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker

• outsider pov? (Ahsoka or a clone trying to figure out who Anakin is secretly dating?)
• obi-wan and Anakin accompany senator amidala on a diplomatic mission and hijinks ensue (accident marriage due to weird alien culture? captured by separatists? Alien brain worms? Something more plotty?)
• sex pollen and the aftermaths?
• i have a soft spot for any variation on the "Palpatine tries to suggest that Obi-Wan and Padmé are together but instead of being jealous Anakin just has a poly awakening" trope!
• Sith/dark side aus? 

 

 

The Mandalorian

 

• Din Djarin/Boba Fett 

The Mandalorian was my gateway drug for the star wars fandom and it’s still very close to my heart!

Why I like this tag:
Din Djarin/Boba Fett:
Mando/Mando ships are exactly my  fav dynamic! They are peak for  battle couples and badass-ry! And they have so much fun culture stuff to play with! Boba is probably one of my favorite SW characters and I love his complexity! (And his daddy issues) especially with the additions that TBOBF added to both Boba and Din I really love this ship! (Oh also Mando co-parenting is great!) 
 

Prompts:

• codas to any scene ever
• Misunderstandings or situations based on Mandalorian culture? (Kedabe kissing, weddings, Mandalorian courtship rituals, your own headcanon aspects?)
• Din or Boba not speaking Mando'a while the other assumes they do? 
• Co-parenting?

 

DCEU

 

• Helena Bertinelli & Dinah Lance & Renee Montoya & Harleen Quinzel
• Helena Bertinelli & Cassandra Cain & Dinah Lance & Renee Montoya & Harleen Quinzel
• Cassandra Cain & Harleen Quinzel 
• Dinah Lance/Harleen Quinzel 

Birds of Prey is a great movie! (It has Harley Quinn and women being chaotic and badass! What more could I ask for?)

Why I like this tag:
Helena Bertinelli & Dinah Lance & Renee Montoya & Harleen Quinzel: Women being chaotic and badass!
 

Helena Bertinelli & Cassandra Cain & Dinah Lance & Renee Montoya & Harleen Quinzel: Women being chaotic and badass with a child!
 

Cassandra Cain & Harleen Quinzel: Chaotic badass woman mentoring a chaotic badass girl! (Gotham better watch out)
 

Dinah Lance/Harleen Quinzel: Women being chaotic and badass while in love! (DCEU!Harley deserves an on screen girlfriend and Dinah is right there DC!) And their dynamic in the movie was very fun!

 

Prompts:

• Post birds of prey fic?
• I'd love to see what happens after Cass and Harley drive off at the end of the movie! The chaos and crime potential is great!
• Domestic fic/what they get up to on their off time? 

 

Leverage

 

• Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer
• Char: Alec Hardison
• Sophie Devereaux & Nathan Ford & Alec Hardison & Parker & Eliot Spencer (Leverage) 

Leverage is one of my comfort shows, I've rewatched it more times than i can count!

I'd love fic based on either Leverage or Leverage: Redemption! (I really love the new character and plots that Redemption added!)

What I like this tag

Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer: The og ot3! Is there anything i can say about this that hasn't already been said? Nope so I'm justing to say that this is one of the best comfort ships that a comfort show could offer!

 

Char: Alec Hardison: Hardison is probably my fav leverage character! He's an awesome nerd, always has the best sarcasm, and is just overall perfect!
 

Sophie Devereaux & Nathan Ford & Alec Hardison & Parker & Eliot Spencer: The Team is great! I love me some team!
 

Prompts:

Hardison/Parker/Eliot:

• Anything that takes inspiration from literally any episode
• Fake dating for a con? Either where the con requires a poly couple or maybe a quick reshuffle of roles leads to the mark thinking that they are poly?
• (Remember how there was supposed to be a SGA crossover at the beginning of season 4?) Yeah that please. Something where aliens are real and the leverage team has to deal with it
• Post redemption get together fic? 
• Breanna plays matchmaker?
• Or maybe Breanna has always assumed that they were together due to the stories she heard growing up and awakenings are had when this comes to light?
• Anything based around a comic con or renfair!
• (This isn't really a prompt but I've had this unfinished plot bunny in my head for ages:) Con where they have to go under cover with a Roller Derby group! (I just think Parker would love roller derby)

Hardison:

• Something about his childhood? (His relationships with his foster siblings like Breanna? I feel like the early years of his life as a hacker could also be fascinating!)
• A con based around anime cons or other nerdy stuff? (I'm so sad that he missed out on the Magic the Gathering episode)
• Something focused on what he was doing during the events of Leverage Redemption?
• Hardison's  online life? (World of warcraft friends, visiting or feuding on hacker sites? Maybe he has a twitch stream?)

 

Sophie Devereaux & Nathan Ford & Alec Hardison & Parker & Eliot Spencer:

• Mix and match any of my other prompts but in a gen sense?
• Examinations on Parker as a leader? (her growth over the show is so beautiful to watch!)
• Roller Derby!
• Domestic fic? (In between cons? Being domestic for a con? Something based around the running of the brew pub)

 

Moon Knight 

 

• Layla El-Faouly/Steven Grant/Marc Spector
• Steven Grant/Jake Lockley/Marc Spector
• Steven Grant/Marc Spector 

Moon Knight was a surprising hit with me!

Why I like this tag:

Layla El-Faouly/Steven Grant/Marc Spector:
I think that Layla should have a tortured badass husband AND an adorable nerd boyfriend. (And I think every love triangle should be resolved by polyamory) Oh plus I like the idea of Steven and Marc together too!

Steven Grant/Marc Spector:
The entire show was about the relationship between these two, of course that made me ship it! (oh also i love bodysharing as a ship dynamic for some reason) I don't have much specific to say about this ship because i just like everything about it!
 

Steven Grant/Jake Lockley/Marc Spector:
"Wait there's another alter? better make that Steven/Marc a polycule!" Yeah I love this ship too!

 

Prompts

Layla El-Faouly/Steven Grant/Marc Spector:

• I love the idea of them going on archaeology dives! Steven and Layla nerding out over stuff, while Marc pretends to not find them adorable (Or fun action-y adventures!)
• Pre-show fic about the complicated situations that arise when your husband has decided not to tell either you or his alter that he's a system (I'm here for angst/unhappy endings or dubcon-ish stuff!)
• Post show fic of them navigating polyamory and life with each other? 
• The adventures of both being avatars to gods!

Steven Grant/Marc Spector:

• Navigating life co-conscious?
• Marc and Steven's differing love languages! (and the miscommunications that ensue!)

Steven Grant/Jake Lockley/Marc Spector:

 

 

The Orville

 

• Char: Bortus
• Darulio/Ed Mercer
• Kelly Grayson/Ed Mercer

I was so excited when I saw that some one had nominated The Orville! I love this silly space show and I'm super excited to see it popping up for exchanges!

Why I like this tag:
Bortus:
I adore this strange alien man! He's a very fun character and I love everything related to Moclans (mostly cause I have a soft spot for worldbuilding fails which i consider the Moclans to be lol) I also love that he's a pretty good dad! His relationship with Topa is very cool (especially given the events of S3E5!) Additionally I love the dysfunctional relationship he has with Klyden (So glad that they got a divorce) 

Darulio/Ed Mercer:
Ah yup the moral quandary of the episode with them was very Orville! I'm very interested in this played as a dub/noncon thing but also don't mind it being played as an actual relationship if you'd rather! 

Kelly Grayson/Ed Mercer:
I don't usually go in for canon het ships but I actually really like Kelly and Ed! They have a complicated and messy history but still manage to be extremely close friends and co workers. They love each other so much and even if they messed up in the past they are different and better people now! The trust they hold in each other as captain and first mate is beautiful. 

Prompts:
Kelly/Ed
Mission fic of existing or made up episodes?
Sex pollen makes things weird!
Alien shenanigans lead to a soul bond/ proximity curse/body swap/



 

Book of Boba Fett

 

• Drash/Fennec Shand
• Boba Fett & Fennec Shand 

Why I like the tag: 
Drash/Fennec Shand: So I really like Drash and the biker gang from TBOBF. I'm absolutely fascinated with them from a world building point and would love more about them! Also I think Fennec is the best and should have a girlfriend.

Boba Fett & Fennec Shand: It's about the trust and loyalty and how Fennec is the muscle rather than Boba. It's about Fennec being badass and sarcastic. It's about Boba trying to rule through Respect rather than Fear. It's about bounnty hunters trying to do something different. It's about everything. 
 

 

DC Comics

 

• Roy Harper/Jason Todd & Lian Harper
• Oliver Queen/Bruce Wayne
• Apollo/Midnighter 

This is probably my most complicated fandom as a fair bit of what i know is through osmosis combined with like one or two comic run from 2016.

Why I like this tag:
Roy Harper/Jason Todd & Lian Harper: My first introduction to Roy and Jason in comics was Red Hood/Arsenal (2015) which is (in my opinion) pretty shippy. I loved their chaotic friendship and thus immediately decided that they should date! I absolutely love morally grey vigilantes in love! Lian doesn't really feature much in that comic but she's great! (And if you can canonically write kidfic you absolutely should)

Oliver Queen/Bruce Wayne: This one I know from osmosis and osmosis only. The concept of two millionaire who also both happen to secretly be superheros? It is perfect for identity porn and humor! (I mean if you want to write angsty hurt/comfort or something I'm not opposed to that!) 

Apollo/Midnighter: The only pairing in this this request where I actually have a deep and complex knowledge of the characters! The Authority (1999) is one of my favorite comics and Apollo and Midnighter are so perfect in that! A battle couple with an adopted super powerful child who would burn down the world for each other? Sign me the fuck up! 
 
 

Young Justice 

 

• Dick Grayson/Roy Harper
• Char: Violet Harper 

I recently caught of on seasons 3 and 4 of YJ and I absolutely loved them! Both of these requests are very much based on season 3.

(Since there are quite a few Roys in YJ I want to clarify that by Roy Harper I specifically mean Will Harper but I prefer calling him Roy) 

Why I like this Tag: 
Dick Grayson/Roy Harper: I love the complicated relationship between the two of them! The way that Dick has known Roy from the very beginning, has been there for him through so much. And also the slightly messed up dynamic from season 3, with Dick lowkey trying to find someone to fill the hole left in his life by Wally's death. Either way I love their relationship! There's just so much history between them!

Violet Harper: They gave me a strange adorable nonbinary brown superhero and expected me to act normally about them? Yeah nope Violet quickly became my favorite character! (I am also a strange nonbinary brown person so it felt really cool to see a Superhero that was like me!) But aside from representation I find Violet to be a really interesting character! A Motherbox in a human body with human experiences and feelings is such an interesting character concept! Plus she is an adorable character!
