HARRY POTTER.

viktor/fleur:

fleur is my favorite female character in entire series, and one of my favorite characters of all time, and viktor/fleur is my rare pair otp for her. if i’m being completely honest, i first thought of/became a fan of this pairing all those years ago because i thought they’d have really hot sex. he’s so big and burly and she’s so delicate and fragile looking and that’s a really striking image. but one of my favorite things about these two is how both of their personalities subvert their bodies and people’s perceptions of them via their appearance. and i think this would connect them with one another. i also believe that they had a closer relationship than is shown explicitly in canon because fleur invited viktor to her wedding years after the triwizard tournament so they either must have connected while at hogwarts or connected in the years after. maybe one of them seeks the other out because they’re the only one who understands besides harry, who’s not really an option due to age/accessibility? or they reconnect later in life after their respective spouses have passed? or they start a relationship based purely on sex because that’s what they both need after the tournament and there’s lots of denial and angst and grief and possibly ptsd and they don’t know how to help each other or themselves but at least doing each other is doing something? honestly, anything goes. if you just want to write porn, i am 10000% okay with that.

bill/fleur:

fleur’s my favorite character and i adore her and bill to pieces. i would love to see their love story. fleur seeking out bill after gof? did bill pull some strings to get her a job at gringotts? what were their private language lessons like? did bill ever feel any angst about their age difference? what about fleur confiding in him about how it feels to be treated so badly by his family? (i mean the girl is 17 years old, just participated in a physically and emotionally draining competency where her sister was taken hostage and she was attacked by water demons that made her unable to save her which resulted in massive guilt, was stunned by a death eater, and then awoke to find that one her fellow competitor and friends has murdered and the darkest wizard of all time has come back. all of this happens in a country not her own, where they don’t speak her first language, and she chooses to come back to this country, at seventeen/eighteen and manages to find love and when she meets his family, they’re horrible towards her and the ones who aren’t are only nice because she’s beautiful. and bill does nothing. i’d love to see fleur confiding in bill about how lonely she is because he has his family but they don’t accept her, and maybe bill sticking up for her to his family? or what about post hbp? bill must have been different after the attack, how did their relationship change? i imagine it was along the lines of: bill angsting and fleur stubbornly loving him and pushing him to get his act back together but not forcing him to, but this is all you. there’s so much to do with these two, anything would be great.

ron/pansy:

i love the idea of these two. my favorite way for them to get together is that harry/draco are an item and they’re pushed together but anything goes. enemies with benefits, hate sex, pretend relationship (ron wants to get hermione back and pansy agrees to be his fake new girlfriend because he’s willing to pay and it’s hard for anyone who was in slithering to get work after the war and she knew there wasn’t a chance of falling for him - except she does)? pansy runs a magical shop and ron comes to investigate claims of dark magic and it turns out the shop is being haunted/something and pansy has nothing to do with it/someone’s out to get her and ron has to protect her? ooh, i actually really like the idea of someone trying to hurt pansy because of her actions during the war/her slytherin connection and ron being her protective detail. there’s a million things you could do with these two.

tonks/lupin:

i'm one of the rare few that loves the tonks/lupin relationship and i'd love any exploration of their relationship. (also, not a fan of remus/sirius at all, so i'd prefer them to not have a past romantic relationship at all or remus only going to tonks because sirius has died or whatever. i really hate that fanon narrative.)

COMMUNITY.

jeff/britta:

season one britta is one of my favorite characters of all time. i related to season one britta so much and i will forever be bitter about the way her character was reduced down into nothing but a joke. i would love something with season one vegetarian-protester-anarchist-feminist britta (i feel like britta would be very involved in the current political climate) and season one's jeff and britta dynamic. it could be set in season one, or they meet up again later on in life, or an au. up to you! as long as your britta shares the same personality traits and morals, etc. as the original britta, it's all good. also, i detest the jeff/annie ship so i'd prefer there be no mention of that at all.

CRIMINAL MINDS.
alvez/garcia:

luke looks like he's in love with her every time he looks at garcia so i basically just something about them being in love. garcia realizing the way he looks at her/things he does for aren't at all platonic and having a freak out about it and being even more awkward around him or avoiding him and luke having no idea what he's done but really he hasn't done anything, garcia just needs to sort out her feelings because she likes him too but has been in denial this whole time? or an au, can you imagine garcia being the it girl who comes to fix luke's computer in ~whatever setting, grad school, office, etc. and they get off on the wrong foot but luke is immediately charmed and starts calling her for stuff he could probably fix himself if he put in some effort.

hotch/prentiss:

“i want you on that plane with me.” do i need to say more? yes? okay, well, these two had amazing chemistry and i always desperately wanted them to get together even though i knew it wouldn't happen. some tropes i love for these two are secret relationship and emily taking care of jack and jack adoring her and wanting/attempting to set her and hotch up. as a stepdaughter myself, (though my stepdad has never called me that - just as i only ever refer to him as my stepdad when being technical, i call him dad) i am a big proponent of normalizing step-parents and step-families, so if you go the family route, i'd love to see that. i would also be interested in something about them during the time hotch worked for emily's mom, if that's more your fancy.

LEVERAGE.

sophie/eliot:

for these two, i'd love just. anything. just anything about them. pre-show. post-show. during the show. au. i don't care. what really happened the first night they met? eliot teaching sophie "some things." eliot teaching her how to "put her hips into it." eliot constantly beaming and saying "that's my girl" whenever she hits anyone. angst about eliot finally getting used to being a part of a team, angst about sophie ruining it, angst about eliot not understanding why he was the last one sophie apologized to. modern pygmalion au with sophie training eliot be part of the 1% because of ~reasons and sophie realizing she likes eliot the way he is but this is what she does. au where eliot is a boxer and sophie is his publicist or someone who works closely with hi and forces him to do things he doesn't want like talks shows/interviews/magazine spreads/etc. and they spend so much time together and are both secretly pining after one another but eliot thinks she wouldn't want someone like him and sophie thinks he deserves better than her not to mention their jobs. or canon au where they're friends with benefits and it works except sophie starts developing ~feelings and she very quickly enters into denial mode and she keeps on with their fling because she likes having sex on a regular basis without having to go through the hassle of picking someone else and the sex is some of the best she's ever had (and not at all because it's better to have him like this than not at all.) sophie thinking it'll never work out between them because she thinks eliot has problems with ~commitment and meanwhile eliot is having the same feelings as sophie and thinks it won't work out because he doesn't think sophie wants to be with ~someone like him, not long term anyway. and so they're both just pining and pining until one of them eventually ends it. but they're still working together and they have to watch as the other has to flirt with people for the con and are jealous but mostly heartbroken and idk feelings!! angst!! pining!! sex!! more pining!! and then somehow a happy ending, yay!

MARVEL.

bruce/nat:

i was always a fan of this ship in a "it's never gonna happen in canon and i don't really want it to" kind of way so i think it's needless to say my preference for anything with these two is pre-aou or entirely au. i just think they'd have a really interesting dynamic with how natasha, who isn't afraid of much, at least not outwardly, is visibly afraid of him, or at least the hulk and bruce is so careful not to be intimidating but natasha is afraid of him anyhow, that's got to effect them. i'd love to see an exploration of how these two would be able to get past some of their issues with each other, with themselves, and form a relationship. any au your mind cooks up would be great too!

THE MINDY PROJECT.

peter/mindy:

i’m not gonna say i’m the sole instigator of the peter/mindy ship but i’m the sole instigator of the peter/mindy ship. jokes aside, i’ve been pushing this pairing onto people practically since peter was introduced on the show. my twitter header/icon/profile has been this for years now. i love this ship so, so much. it used to be my mindy rare pair otp but ~~as danny and his relationship with mindy got progressively more emotionally abusive~~ as time has gone on, they've become my sole otp of the show. for one, they’d have the best sex. i’ve wanted a peter/mindy friends with benefits storyline since the beginning. when he says if he saw her in this he’d go down on her like that, when we he’s teaching her about sex, when they’re all over each other to make people jealous, god. and not only that but they are such good friends and peter is so good for her. like, THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER. idk if there was originally a peter/mindy storyline that they ended up scrapping but adam pally sure as hell played it like it was. i will take literally anything with these two.

TEEN WOLF.

scott/lydia:

first of all, two words: season one. but also: “im not gonna let anyone hurt her. not agIn.” “lydia would never run and hide. because of scott.” the hand holding! lydia being so proud of alpha!scott! scott being so protective of her! please, peruse this tag. i’d love canon fic with them or au’s- scott’s an er nurse/doctor and lydia keeps ending up in the er because of ~reasons (lightheaded reasons like her friend kira is clumsy and keeps accidentally hurting herself/lydia) OR OR LYDIA’S A DOCTOR AND SCOTT IS AN EMT AND THEY KEEP MEETING? honestly, whatever you’re feeling, go for it.

scott/allison:

these poor kids! they deserved so much better. fix it fic where allison lives and they have to deal with the ramifications of allison admitting that she still loves him? yes, please! soulmate fic? double yes, please! i love the idea of these two being soulmates. the argents car being the one that almost hit scott that night really got to me and i’ve been in the mindset of “scott/allison are soulmates” ever since. i prefer canon for these two but if you wanted to right a canon divergence au that’s still rooted in canon, i’d be all for that!

scott/kira:

i love kira and i will forever be bitter about what they did to her character. i'd love to just see these two being cute and adorable together, canon or au. au where they attempt to have a one night stand but they're both terrible at one night stands, scott is a firefighter and kira somehow keeps setting inflammable things on fire, next door neighbor au where they both keep doing nicer and nicer things for each other under the guise of being a good neighbor but it passed being neighborly a while ago and now it's turned into a friendly competition. whatever floats your boat!

parrish/lydia:

x-files au? parrish is a detective and lydia’s a assistant defense attorney and they’re always working together? teacher’s assistant/student au where parrish is the student and lydia is the t.a.? any au under the sun? all good.

boyd/erica:

i just want them to have the happy ending they deserve! i’m a big derek fan and a big initial hale pack (derek, boyd, erica, isaac) fan, so something where that everyone is alive and happy and a ~~pack~~ family would be wonderful. erica asking boyd to prom, all human au, runaways from a small town who end up as a singer and stagehand au, any au, anything, everything. just make them alive and happy and in love please?

sheriff/melissa:

the sheriff has been hopelessly in love with melissa for years and no one can convince me otherwise. one of my favorite tropes is them getting together while scott and stiles are going off to college but i also like them being together and hiding their relationship from the kids. i’d love to see your take on how they go from being “the parent of my sons best friend” to “my friend” to “my closest friend” to “something else entirely."

you can browse my past author letters for other exchanges if you like and my view my likes and dislikes post here.

as always, these are, of course, just suggestions/ideas in case you're feeling stuck or uninspired and you should feel to write whatever you like! i promise i'll love it, no matter what!
