selenayDear Femslash Fanworker,
First of all, don't get worried about me or the length of this letter. I'm pretty much going to love what you do because you're writing or arting for one of my f/f pairings and that's a win in my book :-) If you've already got an idea for one of them, and it doesn't hit any of my squicks, go for it! Something coming from the heart is always the best thing. I'm equally happy with fic or art, and generally any rating goes for me.
If you want ideas or more info, read on! I tried to give some prompts for each pairing, just because that's what I find easiest to work from, but optional details are optional.
General likes:
Competent women, plots, case fic, getting together fics, happy endings, all the AUs, all the tropes, cabin fic, fake relationships leading to more, friends to lovers, trope subversion, women geeking out over science, banter, enthusiastic consent, bisexual characters, women being awesome
Dislikes/squicks:
Death fic, sad endings, BDSM and heavy kink, graphic violence, dub-con/non-con, character bashing, cheating/adultery
MCU:
Skye/Jemma Simmons
These two have such terrific chemistry, it's hard to avoid shipping them!
Prompts: Quiet moments on the Bus after a mission. Post-TRACKS declaration of maybe feeling more than just friendship. Post-S1 finale settling into their new base. A casefic they have to reverse roles - Skye doing the science and Simmons figuring out the hacking and/or badass agent stuff.
Darcy Lewis/Natasha Romanov
It's my MCU crackfic and I adore them.
Prompts: Natasha quietly trying not to be charmed by Darcy's exuberance and strange choices of headwear. Or Darcy getting into trouble and meeting Natasha on her way out of the trouble. Or getting stranded together somehow and reluctantly falling for each other.
Sif/Maria Hill
My competence kink comes into play here in a major way. They're both leaders and warriors, but they're both wary about humans and Asgardians so it would be an interesting relationship.
Prompts: Sif trying to court Maria with Asgardian traditions and hilarity ensues. Sif on Earth for some diplomatic reason and having to work with Maria in her new role at Stark Industries. Stranded together after some kind of joint mission gone wrong, leading to cabin fic.
Sif/Melinda May
The respect they slowly grew for each other during "Yes Men" was wonderful and I'd love to see that built on. My competence kink rears its head again for these two.
Prompts: Post-Yes Men anything, particularly if it involves getting together as a result of training together and mutual respect for each other's abilities. A crisis somewhere on Earth brings Sif back, and she's paired up with Melinda to fix it.
Marvel 616:
Kate Bishop/America Chavez
I've loved these two since they appeared in YA. They both kick ass, but they're vulnerable in different ways. And so much chemistry!
Prompts: I'd love something post-Young Avengers 2. Trying to work out how they fit back into the world after their adventures and growing together from that. America acting tough and disinterested, to hide her feelings for Kate. Road trips, cabin fic, and a friendship growing into something bigger.
Carol Danvers/Jessica Drew
These two have such a wonderful friendship with so much banter, it's hard not to read a lot of it as flirting. BUT. There's the amnesia aspect as well, and the friendship they're slowly rebuilding.
Prompts: Friends to lovers, pre-amnesia. Carol trying to relearn their friendship and getting the wrong idea, except maybe it's the right one after all. My favourite Captain Marvel panel is Carol punching out the dinosaur, so if you can work in a reference to that, I'd be ridiculously happy.
America Chavez/Kamala Khan
A pairing I started shipping after I read some fic, so go wild on it. No under-age sex, though, okay?
Prompts: America showing Kamala the ropes of being a superhero and romance growing from there. Kamala and America working together in Kamala's first superhero pair-up and sweet feelings developing. I'm just really loving the idea of America being Kamala's first girl crush and Kamala surprising herself by being totally okay with it, because the superhero thing is bigger. And America being charmed against her will by Kamala's enthusiasm for figuring out the superhero thing and the girl crush thing.
Teen Wolf:
Allison Argent/Lydia Martin
I'm a huge fan for friends to more stories, and their relationship is perfect for that.
Prompts: Allison lives! Honestly, so long as Allison lives, I'm going to be happy here. Allison and Lydia investigating supernatural weirdness in Beacon Hills or just hanging out together and being bantery are equally welcome. I'm not a fan of cheating fic, so post-Allison/Scott (and maybe pretending Allison/Isaac never happened) would be best for me. Just go wild and have fun with these two.
Lydia Martin/Malia
They so few scenes together, but each one is so slashy. Malia's bluntness and Lydia's Lydia-ness seem perfect together.
Prompts: Lydia trying to help Malia with her schoolwork and falling into something else. Malia acting as protector to allow Lydia to do her Banshee thing. Banter and snark leading to flirtation. Women seeing the awesomeness in their differences.
Malia/Kira Yukimura
Not going to lie, I was sold on this one during the scene where they're watching lacross practice together. It was too adorable for words.
Prompts: Kira trying to work up to asking Malia out, but failing each time until Malia has to do it. Investigating something together. So many ways they could be stranded together and end up confessing feelings (but doing it so very awkwardly). I'm not a fan of cheating/adultery fic, so if you can gently break up or pretend their het relationships never happened, that would be lovely.
Doctor Who:
Jenny Flint/Madame Vastra
Canon lesbian interspecies spouses FTW! :-D
Prompts: Really, anything will make me happy for these two. How did they get together? How did they meet? Did the two events happen at once, or did it take time to fall for each other? What is life like in the house when the Doctor isn't around?
Once Upon a Time:
Aurora/Mulan
I shipped these characters so hard, and then the show broke my heart. If you can put that right, I'd love you.
Prompts: Aurora kissed Mulan when her heart was restored and they rode of into the sunset together. Any kind of AU where Aurora and Mulan get to be together - mundane AU, historical AU, coffeeshop AU, college AU, space AU, pirate AU. Or if you want to pretend the pregnancy never happened and Aurora had quietly broken up with Philip and waited for Mulan to return, that would be awesome, too.
Red Riding Hood | Ruby/Emma Swan
This was one of my biggest ships in S1 and S2. Their friendship is so great and I really wanted their friendship to turn to flirting.
Prompts: Feel free to quietly forget Hook arrived :-D Something solidly based in their friendship would be fantastic. I particularly loved episodes where Emma showed Ruby that she could be competent and kick-ass, and I'd love to see more of that. Feel free to go trope-tastic as well - there's got to be a way to introduce cabin fic or huddling for warmth here, right?
And after that incredibly exhaustive list of pairings and prompts, if nothing struck your fancy, feel free to go wild on whatever pairing takes your fancy! No particular preferences are implied by listing order or level of detail, so whatever you do will be greatly appreciated.
