Rare Pair Ex 2024: Crossovers
Hello, dear potential creator!
This is just for my crossover pairings since I don't think my requests will all fit in the box. My general, smut, and horror likes are in my ToT letter here.
I am ready and willing to be surprised by whatever you have in mind, but if you'd like some guidance: I'd prefer at least a little bit of angst to unmitigated fluff, but again, I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever you write!
I'd love to see them fanning the flames of their ambition. Are they rivals? Do they start as rivals but end up working together? One thing that could provide interesting friction is that Caleb was supporting his empire whereas Thom was supporting a mage working to seize the throne. Perhaps in a world where Ikithon and Duke Roger co-exist, Caleb is supposed to take down Duke Roger and any of his supporters, and has to decide what to do about Thom.
Also welcome: rebuilding their lives/deciding who they want to be after their big mistakes.
I'm flexible on the nature of their relationship; it can be one-sided from either side, UST, pre- or post-relationship, etc. Under- or overtones of Thom/Roger are totally fine, as are Caleb/Astrid/Eadwulf.
Opt in: major character death (even Thom and Caleb), setting change AUs (though they should be magical and have similar stakes to canon)
DNW: Mundane AUs, non/dub-con between Caleb and Thom (fine for Thom/Roger to be unbalanced with inherent power differences that make it hard for proper consent to exist, but no violent rape, please)
I wrote these two for an LBD request and it was a lot of fun! I love their rough edges/the way they aren't super great socially, but they're such fun characters and I think they could be great together. Sparring, one-night stand or FWB or long-term relationship, maybe they meet at the High Sun Games or on the road...
Setting change AUs (not modern and mundane) welcome!
DNW: Holga/Edgin, Edgin/Xenk, modern and mundane AUs
I've been lucky enough to get a few very different takes on these two and I am still fascinated by the possibilities. Which world are they in -- Narnia's, Ravka's, England's, or a world of your creation? AUs very welcome, including modern, as long as there are stakes. (I just watched Challengers and it rewired my brain chemistry, so any sort of competitive athletics AU? Absolutely.) Are they enemies? Working together? Both? Are they genuinely attracted to each other or trying to use each other? Both?
Dubcon is welcome as long as everyone is either into it since they're attracted to each other or willing to use sex as a tool
DNW: underage sex (under 18)
Recently someone suggested putting a former blorbo with a current one and I just. I don't know how or if this would work, but it is compelling! (If they don't work, that's okay, too! I'm into that kind of story.)
If Edmund lived over a century earlier, what would he have done after Narnia? Any chance of crossing paths with a young surgeon? Or any other AU, honestly, especially a historical one. (And if you think you recognise this, yes, it was originally an arranged marriage prompt. I just can't figure out who would have arranged it or why, but if you have an idea, run with it!)
DNW: underage sex (under 18)
I put Ed/Molly in the Holga/Beau fic I wrote as a throwaway reference to the night before and honestly. I'm into it. Doesn't have to be a long term thing, though I'm happy for that too! They're both so hot (and so is Fjord) and I think they could have fun.
Setting change AUs welcome!
DNW: Edgin/Xenk
These two both play soccer and I think maybe they should kiss about it. Otherwise just have fun with it, I don't have too many specific thoughts!
DNW: underage sex (under 18)
Alexis St Martin was a French Canadian fur trapper who, in 1822, was shot at extremely short range with a shotgun. He was not expected to live for more than about half an hour, but with bizarre luck and the dedicated attention of his doctor, he lived! (And healed with a permanent hole into his stomach. Look him up if you want, it's a wild story.) IRL he had a contentious relationship with the doctor who patched him up and paid him to let the doctor dangle bits of food into his stomach to study digestion, and I just think he should have been taken care of by a nicer man who wouldn't have been so hoity-toity about the fact Alexis couldn't read or write.
I read about St Martin's case extensively for Yuletide and I won't be squicked by any medical descriptions of what happened to him. Go for it.
WORDPLAY and ANGST. Feel free to have as much of a tangled web of relationships as you want -- any of Beatrice/Benedick/Don Pedro, however requited or not, and any of Cyrano/Roxane/Christian, though Cyrano shouldn't actually be in a relationship with either of them since he's so emotionally constipated. Beatrice and Cyrano don't have to get together, and if they do, they don't have to stay together. Go wild! Setting change AUs welcome, as is anyone except Beatrice dying!
I was trying to write an R&J au for Kat and Patrick and Mercutio started flirting with Patrick. Very rude of him. But in all honesty I'm just throwing this out there and I'm down for whatever you think is interesting! I don't have a preference for version of Mercutio -- I've read the play, watched the Zeffirelli and Luhrmann movies, and just saw a snippet of the National Theatre one with Josh O'Connor as Romeo, but if you have a fave Mercutio, I'm happy for that one! So obviously setting change AUs are just fine by me! Mercutio can die.
