Dear rarepairs Author,
Thank you for writing something for me! I am sure no matter what you decide to go with, I will love it! The contents of this letter are merely a guideline/suggestions that you are under no pressure to really adhere to beyond my DNWs. :)
If, however, you are interested in said guidelines/suggestions, read on!
First up, the general likes and dislikes:
Likes -
werewolf aus! werewolves are my forever monster so I'm pretty much always down for werewolf aus, or just monster/horror aus in general, as well as scifi and fantasy based aus; also, since the DC related fandoms have established multi-verses/Elseworlds, I'm absolutely down for exploring alternate versions of those characters/dynamics (with specific caveats that I'll go into in each fandom section)*
fluff, hurt/comfort - injured/nursing is even better! - angst with a happy or bittersweet ending, mutual pining/longing, forbidden/secret romances, secretly dating, sharing a bed, non-sexual intimacy, domestic fluff, woke up married, bonding, soulmate aus, resolved pining, five times fic, found families, banter, snarky partners, dangerous people being Soft for those they love, forehead touches, hands, men crying/being emotionally vulnerable, fake dating, fake married, enemies to friends/family/lovers, mutual respect, power imbalance, dominant women
threesomes! foursomes! ethical polyamory! poly fluff, domestic triangles/squares, poly intimacy, sexual and non-sexual
smut, kinky fic, graphic or non-graphic, pwp, porn with feelings, porn with plot, hot and heavy make-outs that get interrupted, playful sex, safe sane and consensual BDSM, Dom/sub, switching, vanilla sex, pegging, praise kink, hand holding, hair gripping, oral sex (both), body worship, sex without orgasms, out of sync orgasms, not everyone orgasms, double penetration, trust kink, endurance sex, overstimulation, orgasm denial, mutual masturbation, masturbating while the other(s) watches, dirty talk, chatty sex, quiet sex, have to be quiet sex, tribbing, frottage, anal sex, rimming, messy sex, clingy sex, blood kink, rough sex, wall sex, slow sex, biting/bruising/marking, slow and gentle, sex as a form of coping/needing physical intimacy for comfort, healthy communication during sex/saying what they like/what feels good, hate sex, angry sex, wanting to leave their mark on each other, needing to scratch/bite/bruise as a reminder of what they’ve done, I feel guilty for this/for wanting you sex, dub-con
DNWs -
rape/full on non-con; scat/vomit; inflation; slave; humiliation; spanking; tentacles; a/b/o; mpreg; sounding; infantalization; vore; torture/gore; child abuse; major underage (anything under 17)
genderswapping; kink shaming; non-consensual infidelity/cheating; unhappy endings relating to romance; character or relationship bashing; strong jealousy (more if it's used to make one character feel inferior - kind of ties into character bashing I suppose?); non-canonical character death; original characters (unless they're minor/background); miscommunication as a plot device
DCEU specific: JL characterization over other characterization - obviously JL has influence especially on the ships requested that are directly from JL, but like, “thirsty” and the whole Arthur objectifying Diana speech, or “I don’t not like you”, those more...Whedon moments, if they seem to contradict characterization in movies from before or after, I would very much prefer if you went with the other movies’ interpretations of those characters and dynamics.
Mummy specific: vilification of Anck-su-namun/Meela Nais
Skinwalkers specific: fic where Sonja is second choice/a replacement for Rachel.
Requests -
Fast & Furious Series
Never joke ship anything, kids, it will only lead to pining because suddenly you ship it for real and there’s no fic. After watching the last F&F movie, I got really angry at what happened to Elena Neves but also loved the whole sequence of Owen and Deckard rescuing the baby/taking down the plane. And from that came joking about shipping the Shaw brothers with Elena who survives and goes into hiding with her son, and here we are, me requesting every variation of Elena and the Shaw brothers I can think of.
Owen Shaw/Elena Neves & Deckard Shaw/Elena Neves & Owen Shaw/Elena Neves/Deckard Shaw -
Honestly, with these pairings I’m not necessarily looking for anything romantic (but also won’t complain if it goes that way), these are more...dirty and resentful ships for me, especially on Elena’s part. Fic that deals with Elena being angry that she finds Owen/Deckard attractive. And surprisingly good with kids.
Luke Hobbs/Elena Neves -
I was really digging them around each other in Part 7, and kind of wish they’d kept that and let Elena get to move on, so I would love fic that explores that avenue.
Luke Hobbs/Elena Neves/Deckard Shaw -
Combine Deckard/Elena with Hobbs/Elena and throw in some Hobbs/Deckard and I’ll be a happy girl!
DC Extended Universe
I unapologetically and unironically love Snyder’s films and Ayer’s Suicide Squad (with a preference for the extended Skwad cut), so I definitely prefer characterizations/character arcs that seem more in line with those films, rather than JL. Also, Lois is the key. I love her, and I love stories that emphasize her importance/have other characters openly admire and love on her.
Diana (Wonder Woman)/Clark Kent/Lois Lane/Bruce Wayne -
I love love love this dynamic which kind of surprised me because before BvS I'd only ever really shipped Clois out of any dynamics with those four. But after BvS I'm super interested in these four as the core square of the DCEU. I enjoy pretty much all couple iterations of this foursome but always them as a poly square at the end of the day. I like if Bruce is the awkward fourth wheel who feels out of place at times - I also like if there's more tension between him and Lois/more resentment on her part than there is with Clark? But there's also a mutual respect, and I like if Bruce admires Lois' tenacity and dedication to digging up the truth and her reporting/investigative skills. I'm good with fic exploring how they slowly become a unit, or a slice of domestic poly life, or just straight up pwp. Honestly I'll take whatever I can get with these four.
George "Digger" Harkness/Tatsu Yamashiro -
Underrated! I love everything about them tbh - the tol and the smol, the irreverent, asshole thief with supposedly no loyalties and the stoic, honorable warrior who is incredibly loyal to those she cares for or feels indebted to. I’m down for serious fic or more crack-y or humor based fic, but I am especially here for Digger being just completely smitten and his feelings getting more and more serious while Tatsu just has no clue what to make of him.
Mercy Graves/Lex Luthor Jr. -
Oh, this is a messy one. I have really complicated feelings about this pairing - I think that Lex cares for Mercy, as much as he is able to/will allow himself to care about someone? And what about Mercy? What’s her backstory in the DCEU? Some kind of mixture of other backgrounds or something totally new? Was she surprised when Lex started putting plans into action that got hundreds of people killed or did she just roll with it? These are some things I’d love to see explored in any fic focused on this pairing. In regards to anything sexual, I view Lex as someone who has a very complicated relationship with sex, but I think despite taking Mercy out in the bombing he really does trust her and would be able to trust her in that way? So I’m okay if you write smut without feelings/any kind of romance. I am down for kinky fic, too, but definitely see Lex as someone who needs to tightly control what is happening, even if Mercy is on top or technically playing the dominant role in the sex. Also, feel free to explore any of Lex’s messiness in these kinds of fics and dealing with his past trauma, but I would definitely prefer nothing too graphic or for a huge emphasis on the abuse he went through.
Enchantress (DCU)/June Moone -
That scene when June says Enchantress the first time and Enchantress comes out by sliding her fingers through June’s like some queer Grudge-ghost type shit? Yeah, that was the instant I knew this ship would be A Thing for me. I’m good with pre-canon, canon divergent aus, or post-canon where Enchantress isn’t really gone. I like the idea of Enchantress trying to seduce June over to accepting her and wanting her out, but I’m also good with Enchantress just being wicked and playing with her vessel. I’m definitely okay with dub-con for this pairing.
David Kane/Stephen Shin - Someone mentioned how Tom/Altanna and Arthur/Mera both seemed to really fall in love after being tended to, so obviously the movie was setting up the same for David/Stephen and honestly? I love that so much. So I would very much love some injured/nursing or hurt/comfort fic. But feel free to go angst or dark or more on the light-hearted side.
Mercy Graves/Faora Hu-Ul -
I’m not sure how it would work but I’d love to read and find out - both awesome villain ladies who deserved more screen time and also to be in future movies, so my brain put them together in a crack pairing, and now I want fic.
Diana (Wonder Woman)/Victor Stone -
Oh man, this was the new dynamic that I was most interested in with JL - I loved Diana reaching out to Vic - Diana, who struggled herself with not cutting ties to humanity sometimes, and that was why her being the one to extend an offer to Vic worked. I’d love to see that similarity explored more, them being so different but relating to each other on that urge to withdraw, cut ties, turn away, even if for different reasons.
Amanda Waller/Waylon Jones -
Listen, I still laugh every time I watched the movie and Waylon goes, “I like her,” while Harley and Boomer give him looks of disgust. Give me Waylon making comments whenever Waller comes around, Waller using his thing for her to her advantage, or maybe go for something deeper - a meeting between two worlds, the hardened government agent who does awful things for the ‘greater good’ and the shunned ‘freak’ who does awful things because he was rejected and oppressed.
Chato Santana/Harleen Quinzel -
Every single interaction with these two in the movie were just screaming ‘this needs fanfic’ and there is not enough fic. From how touchy Harley gets with him, to his reactions on the roof when she’s getting away with Joker, the raw ugliness between them at the bar - it was a lot of little things but come on, there should be fic where Chato lights Harley’s cigarette with his pinky at least. I am totally open with them, but post-movie fic where Chato is alive has a nice ring to it.
Amanda Waller/Enchantress -
This is another pairing I’m ok with dub-con for. I love the idea of Enchantress enjoying finally being free of some mortal woman’s control and wanting to play with her.
DC Arrowverse
This is definitely a fandom where there’s a lot of AU and alternate reality potential, Elseworlds/multiverse theory. I’m very open to that prospect - except for anything Earth X/Nazi related (unless it’s just mentioning that event and the dopplegangers they faced).And I am absolutely here for Oliver Queen getting pegged and/or being a sub.
Kara Danvers/Laurel Lance/Oliver Queen -
I'm open for canon divergent aus or elseworlds/alternate realities, especially if you want to avoid the cheating baggage. I'm also down for that being explored and Oliver and Laurel trying again while also being totally enamored with Kara. Huge bonus points for some Kara and Laurel bonding time alone since we never got that in canon. I tend to go fluffier with this throuple, but I'm also open for them all kind of being open about their faults and angsting over past choices, chances lost. Maybe things are awkward at first or even messy and complicated. Whatever way you write it, I'm sure I’ll love it!
Kara Danvers/Oliver Queen -
Again, whether you go au, Elseworld/other Earth, or stick with canon, I’m happy. If you want to bring up Earth X with them seeing themselves together giving them feelings or making those feelings harder to ignore, that’s fine as long as it isn’t a huge point in the story. I’m open for fluff, angst, smut, pre-established, or getting together.
Skinwalkers
This is a super obscure fandom, so I’m not expecting anything for it but will love you forever if you go for it! It’s one of those movies that, I hate many of the choices and know it’s not good, but I have such strong feelings about the characters that I can’t explain in this letter without it becoming an essay. But Sonja is the werewolf alpha queen bitch of my heart.
Sonja/Caleb Varek -
The OTP of this fandom. I love them. I’ve actually read some of the earlier scripts, which put more emphasis on this relationship, but I’d love to see fanfic that explores them within the canon of the movie and flesh them out. I love porn, angst, the two of them killing together as humans or as werewolves, I’m down for total AUs, canon divergent fics, pretty much anything. I am fine with mention of past Caleb/Rachel, but I’d rather it not be a major thing (unless it’s a canon divergent au set during/after the movie and mostly just referenced). Also, please no fic that indicates Sonja is a replacement/second choice.
Jonas Varek/Rachel Talbot -
Listen they raised Timothy together and yes the movie changed a lot and took away from their dynamic that was very rich in earlier scripts but there are still nuggets in the movie, and the way Elias Koteas has Jonas constantly look at Rachel with this quiet pining just does me in. I will take anything - fic set immediately after Caleb’s disappearance, sometime during Tim’s younger years, canon divergent aus, whatever, I’m down.
Grenier/Sonja/Caleb Varek/Zo -
Honestly poly biker werewolf pack is kind of hard for me to not be interested in. What more can I say?
Katherine Varek/Sonja -
Oh, man, give me the dirtybadwrong femslash fic, full of anger and bitterness and resentment and maybe some fear on Katherine’s part. Dub-con is acceptable with this pairing. I am a sucker for darker femslash, what can I say?
Sonja/Zo -
I have complicated feelings with this ship - so complicated feelings fic is a-okay with me for these two. I generally prefer this pairing in post-reveal of Tim’s parentage context, whether it’s a missing scene where they talk on their own or some kind of au where they live but Varek is cured maybe? For me it’s more about them bonding over the betrayal - we know Zo is interested in Sonja, but something that always stuck out to me was how Zo was backing Sonja up in the confrontation with Varek after they find out it’s his kid, at least until Varek pulls rank and snaps. I like the idea of Zo being there for Sonja and it weirding her out and her not wanting it, but taking it because she’s lost in a way that she hasn’t been for a long time.
Adam Kilmer/Katherine Varek -
A mostly wholesome ship? In my Skinwalkers requests? It’s more likely than you think. Except I’d also love au fic where Adam goes dark too. But pre-canon fluff is also welcome!
From Dusk Till Dawn TV
Kate Fuller/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa -
The ship that I desperately wanted and was ultimately fed dust. DUST. I love canon divergent AUs where Kisa reached out to Kate somehow, or maybe Kate wasn’t possessed by Amaru after season two but became more like a revenant and was found by Kisa, or maybe something post series where Kate’s left the Geckos and winds up crossing paths with Kisa and wants to finally have a real talk with the woman she blamed - at least at first - for what happened to her and her family, but who she now relates to more than she’d like. Honestly, I’m really open, but I would love any fic that explores their similarities and their differences.
Kate Fuller/Scott Fuller -
I AM FULLER SIBLING TRASH. I’m sorry, but that’s the facts. This dynamic deserved more from the show, but what the show did give me was honestly? Pretty good. I’m still bitter she didn’t go with Scott at the end of the series. To me it made the most sense, narratively - these siblings forced on the road, leaving their home behind, then their family torn apart and all the secrets and flaws and sins laid bare, their paths diverging, and then they reconnect as different people who can never go home, and have to rebuild from the ground up. Post-series fic or canon divergent series end post-series fic is - you might be surprised - high on my list of wants for them. Though I also like monster hunter aus, or maybe canon divergent aus earlier on in the show - really, I’m open.
Kate Fuller/Scott Fuller/Rafa Infante -
Rafa deserved better and should have lived and went with Kate to save Scott. I am here for Kate and Scott both being into Rafa, and Rafa feeling for both and helping both of the Fullers to adjust, and helping to bring them back together. AUs where the three of them head off and never see the Geckos or Carlos or Kisa again are a-okay in my book.
Manola Jimenez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa -
What do you mean Manola died? No, no, she was just in a mystical coma, she’s fine now, and she and Kisa are happy together, safe and sound. SAFE. AND. SOUND. Okay but really, fix it fic, aus where Manola is a werewolf or werecoyote, or maybe Kisa turned her, all viable options. Soulmate fic, reincarnation fic, also good ones.
Paloma Gutierrez/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa -
ALL THE UGLY, COMPLICATED, MESSY, PROJECTING FEELS. Fic for this pairing does not have to be pretty, because this pairing is an ugly mess, and I love it. Is Kisa attracted to Paloma or to what she sees of herself - who she was - in Paloma? Does it matter? Is Paloma attracted to Kisa? Or to that power, that control, that she thinks Kisa has? Is she only trying to survive, trying to make Kisa want her as a means of survival, or does some part of her genuinely feel a pull, a curiosity towards the woman holding her captive, who obviously wants but doesn’t take? Or go a healthier way and give me fix it aus, where what Kisa killed was just an illusion, a trick, and Paloma is safe somewhere and their paths cross - or maybe Paloma was turned but she lives, goes out on her own, someday face to face with Kisa, La Diosa, all over again, but on a more even footing this time.
Amaru/Kate Fuller -
I really wish this dynamic was explored more in the show - I’d love AUs where Amaru is able to take her true form sooner but she and Kate are connected, maybe they’re bleeding into each other even? Maybe Kate is with the others, using her connection to help them find Amaru and stop her but is feeling a pull as well - or Amaru keeps Kate with her, so Kisa and the Geckos can’t use Kate against her.
The Mummy
Anck-su-namun and Meela Nais are underappreciated and deserve more love. Also, Lock-Nah. I love Imhotep, but I am ultimately really here for Anck and Meela. Also? They did nothing wrong. Imhotep was the one that left to risk his life for more power when she/they just wanted to leave and then he tried to beg her into risking her life AGAIN. So if you choose to write something for this fandom and especially for this pairing, I’d rather either the story not vilify her choice or have her instead try to help him?
Imhotep/Anck-su-namun -
This OTP has been in my shipper heart for twenty years now. Two decades of loving them, and my shipper heart is stranded in a barren wasteland when it comes to fic for them. So I will take pretty much anything that does not vilify Anck-su-namun, or make her need redemption to Imhotep or anything of that nature. I love canon divergent, pre-movies, post-movies, soulmate fic, reincarnation fic, whatever!
Lock-Nah/Meela Nais -
This is just a pairing I am curious about and haven’t seen explored even though they know each other and seem to have known each other for a while. How did they meet? Did they meet through the Red Turbans or before? Did Lock-Nah bring her into the group? I’m cool if you go for a more casual vibe rather than something super shippy.
Carmilla webseries
Laura Hollis/Carmilla Karnstein/Danny Lawrence -
werewolf!Danny, werewolf!Danny, werewolf!Danny! I am all about Danny Lawrence as a queer/bi/lesbian*, plaid wearing, super tall, hot-tempered werewolf and tiny gay Laura being the creme in a monster wlw sandwich. Carmilla and Danny sniping at each other but it becoming more and more begrudgingly affectionate. I’m open to post-series/movie fic that has them becoming a threesome, and to non-werewolf canon aus - honestly, I’m really flexible as long as I get cute bickering. (*I cannot remember if it was stated what Danny’s sexuality was specifically, if it was, my apologies!)
Scream
Sidney Prescott/Cotton Weary -
Oh, man, I’ve shipped this for a while and still cannot really articulate - at least not very well -what it is about them that I find so fascinating? It’s so messy and ugly and complicated, but I really love the idea of them bonding, of there being some weird level of trust and understanding after the events of the second movie. I like the idea of Cotton knowing where Sidney has withdrawn to, maybe visits, maybe things happen, or maybe it remains an unspoken, unresolved thing between them. AUs and messy fic are also good, but I prefer it be canon divergent AUs.
Widows
Alice Gunner/Veronica Rawlings -
Height difference! Oh my gosh a femslash pairing with such major height difference, I love it, I would love if it’s worked into the fic somehow - if it’s gentle banter between them as they get comfortable with each other or if it comes into play during sexy times. I would love something set after the movie - that ending left it open for so many possibilities with these two. I loved that Alice learned to stand up for herself and didn’t take shit from Veronica but also could be soft and comforting for her, something that Veronica obviously needs, and then become almost like a bridge between Veronica and the others - and that Veronica is the one to reach out to Alice at the end, showing such vulnerability and hope. Anything that explores what might come after would be lovely!
Crossovers
Kara Danvers/Lex Luthor Jr. -
An ugly, awful pairing that I just find so disturbingly intriguing. There’s something about this Kara and this Lex that I find to be a really explosive and messy mix. This is a pairing I would love some dirty fic for - maybe some Dom/sub undertones, overtones - or maybe it’s all in Lex’s head? I’m interested in reading either or both, tbh. Maybe some kind of alien dust makes them do it, how do they react afterwards if so? Is it AU where Clark doesn’t die but maybe almost does? Is it talking to Lex in prison, angry at what he did that becomes something else? Or maybe it’s post-JL and through some political strings and Waller’s machinations, Lex winds up pardoned/exonerated and working as a liason to the League, which Kara is now part of - or maybe with the DEO, to keep tabs on that for Waller, something I could see Lex resenting while also being stuck around Kara, who resents him. Hate-sex, pegging, sex pollen, guilty sex, it’s all in their head, any of that is good - but I would also be happy to read just interactions, maybe nothing even happens, but there’s something ugly and raw there that neither one wants or is proud of. I am also ok if with mentioned or implied one-sided Lex/Clark, because I find Lex’s feelings towards Clark to be very complicated and layered and absolutely believe there’s a sexual dynamic to it, too, and for him to just kind of, feel similarly to both Kryptonians. Also fine with me - if you keep Lena as an existing character. Honestly, I’m open and fic-hungry.
Shuri/Victor Stone -
I just find the idea of them really cute, with potentially a very rocky beginning, considering Shuri’s curiosity and frankness meeting Vic’s resentment and sensitivity over what he’s been turned into against his well.
Ahmanet/Anck-su-namun -
Anck-su-namun deserves a powerful girlfriend who will appreciate her and give her power, and I honestly am open to however you want to take this pairing. There’s a lot of similarities between them but also so many differences - Ahmanet seemed to have more agency and freedom than Anck-su-namun did, and was even more ambitious, and I’d love to see that explored maybe?
Ahmanet/Anck-su-namun/Imhotep -
Ultimate bitter Ancient Egyptian power throuple. I’m here for it.
Mia Allen/Nancy Holbrook -
I love final girls, I love these final girls, I love the idea of a remake based Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, and I love the idea of these two damaged survivors bonding and finding a kinship with each other. I like the idea of them roadtripping and hitchhiking across the country, trying to avoid any deadites and find ways to keep Krueger out of Nancy’s dreams. Or maybe they settle down somewhere, far from both their homes, try to become new people who never dealt with vengeful ghosts in their dreams or actual demons possessing their bodies. Also, I am perfectly happy with asexual Nancy Holbrook, but it’s not a requirement (I go back and forth on that headcanon myself).
