Wow, weird to type 2020 there. Hi there, nice to meet you, thanks for writing for me! I'm easy going and I like tropes, so hopefully I'm a nice surprise for you for this exchange. Don't sweat the small stuff and have fun.
I like lots of different tropes and cliches in fiction, it's honestly hard to stumble onto something that I won't enjoy. My hard DNW is rape/dubcon, or the discussion of such, but with these fandoms I chose I don't think that will necessarily come up easily. I would also prefer not to receive porn for this exchange (maybe that's obvious if we matched on a platonic relationship, but I still feel I should say it).
Knives Out
Marta & Benoit Blanc
Marta/Benoit Blanc
Marta & Blanc & Elliott & Wagner
This was hands down one of the best times I've ever had at the movies, and along with everyone else in the fandom, I'm sure, the one thing I want is Marta SOLVING MYSTERIES. I am extremely enamored of Marta becoming a gentlewoman sleuth, in Blanc's footsteps, following the end of the movie - with Blanc, on her own, or with Elliott and Wagner, or all of the above. I think there's an interesting story to be told about sudden extreme wealth and influence, and how a genuine person like Marta would struggle with the morality of being rich, at the same time that she is obviously very relieved to have herself and her family well taken care of and safe. Becoming someone like Blanc seems to be - a hobbyist detective - might be a good fit for her. Also she'd make a great detective.
If you'd like to just tell that story about Marta, I'm down - how she responds to the Trombleys afterward, who she helps and who she disowns, etc. I didn't choose Marta & Harlan as a relationship, but feel free to talk about their friendship if that's what moves you, and how Marta would try to honor his wishes and hopes for his loved ones after his death. There's no greater guardian of his fortune than her (isn't that a lovely twist on the movie? She's the caretaker!)
Alas Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas are very hot, so please feel free to write the story about the aging detective and the young surprise heiress falling in love. (Perhaps while solving mysteries?) I'm also desperate to know what Blanc's life is like, because I'm sure it must be something straight out of a Bogart film.
DNW for this fandom: Ransom Drysdale. Please, I'm tired. He's not that hot. (Sorry.)
Gilmore Girls
Jess & April
Secretly I am a simple sixteen year old girl inside, who only had 5 basic cable channels and very little exposure to life outside her rural Midwestern town, so yes I still love Jess Mariano. I would love a story about his relationship with April - I still want the AU where Luke knew about April all along, and thus she was there on alternating weekends when Jess lived with him! Please feel free. I've been thinking about writing that one for years but it's not like there can be too many takes on it.
It's interesting to me that April seems to have such an awkward relationship with Lorelai, and sort of sad, considering how long Luke and Lorelai have been together at that point, because it means that April still hasn't really become engrossed in Luke's family unit even now, years later. The weird, unfair position that the adults in her life put her in, generally speaking, has to be a source of pain for her (not to mention her inevitable jealousy of Rory - come on, what girl wouldn't be jealous??), and Jess being in a similar sort of "part of the family but only kind of" position could be a source of support for her. Or - if you don't want to talk about that kind of thing - imagine April's deadpan no-sense-of-humor personality clashing with Jess' bone dry everything's-sorta-funny-to-me one. Comic gold.
DNW for this fandom: Jess/Rory. Sorry, I don't ship it. Feel free to include any other ships you like, though.
Once Upon a Time
Killian/Emma
My fun pirate ship! I love them. I still love them. Because they're both pirates. You're picking up on the theme here, I hope.
What I would love more than anything is Neverland fic! Emma gets sent there before she ends up in Storybrooke, somehow - whether when she's a kid, or older after she has Henry, or whatever. Feel free to go full AU here too - I've had an idea for a story for awhile where the curse didn't happen, but Emma was still separated from her parents by Regina (revenge on Snow, just not on such a big scale) and actually grows up there - and due to some handwavy magic whateverness she ages like normal - and just picturing what Emma would be like, growing up among Pan and all that chaos, gives me the shivers. (Captain Hook makes his entrance at an age appropriate time, obviously, lmfao)
If you're not into that though, I've got plenty of other ideas: Emma finds out who she is/about the curse much earlier, and manages to turn Killian's loyalty early, forming an alliance with him to take down the queen. Then when she rolls up in Storybrooke for the first time, she knows what's up and also has a weird sort-of boyfriend to go rescue after she breaks the curse. (Haha.)
Or! or! Emma doesn't give Henry up for adoption, and so he's the one who gets taken by Pan (earlier than in canon) and Emma has to go after him. Picture no nonsense bail bondsman Emma facing down Neverland, this time with no previous knowledge of magic curses or long lost king and queen parents. Amazing.
Whatever you wanna do, I hope you have fun. My DNW for this fandom is please no Rumple, because he's gross and he makes me feel gross. Thank u.
My AO3 is saltyavocado, by the way, and feel free to browse my journal here, or my tumblr (thesaltyavocado) if you'd find that useful. Happy writing!
