This is a placeholder for my
hetswap dear author letter. (I don't have a lot of het ships, but those I do, I'm inordinately fond of.)
Generally, I love missing scenes and slice of life fics. Case fic, silliness and shenanigans are all also big hits with me. Also all my chosen pairings are canonically friends so I'd like something that builds on their canon friendships.
Wolf 359
Aaah tiny fandom of my heart. I am such a sucker for this pairing. Hera is my precious, broken darling. I have all the self-aware AI feels about her. I adore her odd little friendship with Doug. Those little moments we get off the two of them talking about stuff at the end of episodes, just grabbed me by the heart and made me love them both so much. I have this theory that their friendship is making them both better/healthier/kinder people? (I have actually written meta about their friendship previously that may or not be helpful to you. here)
Dr Who (Big Finish)
Charley & Eight first, so, I love an epic doomed love affair. Every moment they have together is stolen, she literally shouldn't exist any more. Time travel shenanigans are always fun with this pair. (Preferably set before they actually know why all the weirdness is happening.)
Evelyn & Six. I like how they're both grown-ups - even if they don't always act like it - and how that shapes their interactions. Also the way travelling with an older human makes the Doctor have to deal with (and conversely fails to deal with) his issues with mortality and the way he outlives all his travelling companions.
Leverage
Leverage! Parker is just the best. I love that they're kids who grew up in the care system and had incredibly different experiences, that shaped them but don't define them as adults. I love that Hardison is such a geek, and I kind of have a lot of feelings about Hardison as a person shaped by fandom and how that affects his interactions with Parker as she figures out who she is with these people and how she feels about him in particular. I love how different their personalities are but how well they fit together. Also I have a competency thing, and the whole team working together hits that, as do the smaller team of Parker, Hardison and Elliot. I think one of my favourite bits about their relationship on the show is that even once they're together as a romantic unit their friendship with Elliot is still just as important to them. None of this romantic relationships are the only kind that matter stuff.
New Avengers
Okay, so this is pretty exciting! Normally if The Avengers comes up in a ficathon its the orginal 60s era stuff. I never see stuff for the New Avengers era! (*whisper it* That was my first introduction to the series and is therefor my favourite!) So really, anything you want to write would be brilliant. I love Purdy, I spent a great deal of time around the ages of 10 - 13 wanting to be her. So as long as you make Purdy awesome and badass that's cool with me. (I seem to remember that Gambit was always trying to rescue her, and she always ended up having to rescue him instead!) I'm also amused by the inclusion of Emma Peel under The New Avengers but I'd love to see Emma and Steed meeting up again after all those years in this new spy world.
