Rare Male Slash Exchange letter - 2024
Jun. 16th, 2024 09:21 pmHello writer! I'm sure I'll enjoy anything featuring my general likes, but I've collected some more ideas and thoughts about why I like these pairings here <3
I love plotty stuff like mission/case fics, but I definitely enjoy some sexy smutty content as well :3 I don't have a ton of super specific NSFW likes, so I'd be happy to read whatever you enjoy writing as long as it doesn't hit the DNWs ^^b (Prose wise, I prefer specific words rather than things like 'sex' or 'member' or w/e, but again, whatever you are feeling is fine with me in general.)
I've organized it all alphabetically so nothing is by particular priority, some things I have more thoughts on than others but it doesn't mean I want it less!
Maiden Lane Series - Elizabeth Hoyt
Maximus Batten/James Trevillion
This is a lengthy series of het romance novels, but the requested characters appear mainly in a few books. However the whole series is a good time, with lots of drama and secret identity shenanigans.
(Iirc: their main interactions are Book 6-8, with Maximus having some earlier appearances esp in Book 2)
Both of them have romance arcs with women, but they have a really strong vibe with each other so I dearly want AUs where they end up together instead.
James is hired as bodyguard for Maximus' sister, so I would love situations where he's maybe hired to protect James and ends up in a bodyguard crush situation, or where he ends up surprised to find himself with indecent thoughts not for his charge but for his employer.
Also any secret identity situations would be delightful! Perhaps something where Maximus appears to be in danger and James rides to the rescue but ends up being the one saved...
I love love love taking off fancy elaborate outfits and this is the Georgian era so everything's very fancy and elaborate.

More ideas (all ships):
I love the Blood Prison setting! I would love any AUs putting the ships in there, whether they're both locked up (for reasons) or whether they broke in (for reasons) or whether one of them is trying to get the other out (for reasons). Blood Prison is the 5th Shippuden movie, and you don't need to watch the whole thing to get the idea of the setting; the first 15 or 20 minutes of setup are probably the best part anyway.
I also really like the randomly introduced Secret Ninja Fight Club from the side tie-in novel Sasuke's Story: Sunrise (the English translation is available through Libby from some libraries and has also been uploaded to a few sites like libgen). It's the perfect excuse to set up any ship and I love forced duels between people who either already have or are developing feelings for each other.
My favorite time periods for most ships are timeskip and early Shippuden! However I'm fine with anything ^^ If you do post-canon please no references to SasuSaku and NaruHina or the generation of kids that appear in Boruto (sans children, mentions of the other ships established in the final chapter are fine unless they contradict a requested ship, but would prefer the focus remain on the requested ship).
Deidara/Hyuuga Neji
This one is solely based on the fact that I think they'd be very into each other looks wise and also mad as hell about that. Also because despite being younger Neji has about 4 or 5 inches on Deidara and this entertains me immensely.
I also feel like Deidara's doujutsu issues and Neji's loud blond issues would collide in an interesting way if they ever interacted meaningfully.
Stuff where they are both infiltrating the same place, have to very angrily team up against something worse, or shelter together because they're stranded in the wilderness or some other situation like that would be very fun. A very charged fight sequence is always a good time as well.
I know this is a bit of a silly ship, since they're within hailing distance of each other in canon while alive about once, so I don't need it to be covered seriously (the comedy resulting from the violent collision of their personalities is a large part of why I'm into it), but I wouldn't mind a more serious tone either.
Deidara/Uchiha Itachi
I desperately want more Akatsuki hate(?)sex and I love Deidara's whole deal with the Uchiha, as well as his massive resentment yet still somewhat grudging respect for Itachi. Would love something where it's Itachi in a somewhat vulnerable position and Deidara conflicted over what to do about it. I also always love case/missionfics, so things where they end up forced into proximity or perhaps even a fake relationship for the sake of an assignment would be delightful <3
Hoozuki Suigetsu/Uchiha Sasuke
I love how, like every member of Team Taka (except possibly Jugo) Suigetsu seems convinced he's the most reasonable member of Team Taka. Love how he sticks around despite Sasuke's apparent complete disinterest and seems fairly invested in Sasuke paying more attention to him than Karin. Love the general size difference (Suigetsu has several inches and a considerable amount of muscle on Sasuke) and combat style difference. Also love Suigetsu's sleeveless shirt/straps situation and Sasuke's open necklines.
Anything would be fun, but in terms of specific ideas I love Suigetsu getting weirdly turned on by Sasuke threatening him or Sasuke getting himself in trouble and pretending he doesn't feel anything when Suigetsu rescues him.
Hatake Kakashi/Momochi Zabuza
They seem to have a history, or at least are aware of each other. I would love to see it explored more. Enemy-of-my-enemy scenarios or situations where they're trapped in the elements and have a tense truce would be really interesting. Stuff where one or the other is infiltrating enemy lines/village would be fun as well. (Also would be very fun to have a makeout scene in the dark or something since they're trying not to reveal their faces to each other.)
DNW: Edo Tensei used to get ships in the same place (alive only please! an AU where someone survives in canon longer is totally OK)
Sharpe Series - Bernard Cornwell
Sharpe is a really long series but you will only need a few books for these pairings.
In general I don't mind if Sharpe is married while the fic occurs as long as dwelling on adultery isn't a major aspect of the plot. However I'd also be perfectly fine with handwaving his marital status or just not bringing it up, according to your preference.
I do love Sean Bean so no complaints here if you want to use him for Sharpe's appearance :3
Sharpe/Pumphrey
Pumps, my delightful dreadful meow meow. Obsessed with him. Want to put him in a jar and shake it, et cetera. Perhaps the worst person for Sharpe possibly ever, but that's exactly why I need to see what would happen. The potential for hatesex (or what they try to tell themselves is nothing more than that) is so compelling.
Appears in Prey, Havoc (briefly?), and Fury.
Vague ideas I have beyond my likes - Pumps having to dress Sharpe up for something; Sharpe getting sent to rescue a captured spy and not realizing until he gets there that it's Pumps; stuck out in the elements with only one bed.
Sharpe/Killick
Killick is such a fascinating character despite his short appearance. Very determined, intelligent, and conniving, but with surprising depth and sincerity even in his interactions with an enemy.
Appears in Siege (only).
Vague ideas I have beyond my likes - AUs where it is Sharpe who is captured; intimate encounters while Killick is waiting to be hanged; Sharpe and Killick finally get that drink.
DNW: homophobia beyond the level of the books
Jack Traven (Speed)/Clark Kent (Lois and Clark)
Jack Traven (Speed)/Bruce Wayne (Joel Schumacher Batman Films)
I love the 90s! I love public transportation! I love young Keanu in tight white tshirts!
This idea just delights me, I love all of these canons and the idea of a hero running into Traven and having no idea what to do with him is so fun.
Superman and Batman are both East Coast-based heroes, but I love the Los Angeles setting so something where they're out of their home territory would be great!
I'd especially love situations where due to say, being held hostage or something, Clark or Bruce is in a position where they can't easily sneak off to come back as Superman or Batman. Clark doing some kind of journalist ride-along would also be delightful, as would Traven being involved in security for some kind of Wayne corporate event.
Looks wise I have a small preference for Val Kilmer over George Clooney in the Schumacher Batmans, but it's genuinely a small preference so feel free to go with either depending on what feels good to you!
