binary_sunsetDear Participant,
Hello, friend! Thanks so much for matching with me! I'm eagerly awaiting whatever you're putting out!
Things I Love
The Witcher
Jaskier/Geralt:If it's not clear from my current body of Witcher fic, I just love these two. Geralt is a sturdy, grumpy monster hunter man who's resigned to being mistreated by society and Jaskier is kind of like an annoying tick that WILL NOT GO AWAY. In my mind, they're the epitome of "idiots to Lovers" who probably spend years pining for each other. You can throw that into a fluff, angst, or comedy direction. I just like these two a lot.
Geralt & Ciri: In my mind, Geralt and Ciri's father/daughter relationship is really the core of the franchise. Crazy magic shit from the books and games aside, Geralt needs someone to reconnect him to the rest of society and Ciri needs someone to love and protect her. We don't get to see much of young Ciri and Geralt bonding in the show (and it seems like she's going to be a teenager in S2), so Geralt teaching Ciri things and adjusting to having a daughter would be nice. I don't think Geralt really understands how lonely he is until he has a kid in his life (albeit one obtained by Magic Nonsense).
Triss/Yennefer: I just love these girls a lot, okay? Who needs a love triangle when Geralt is busy being a dad anyway! I do love the idea of Triss helping Yen through her trauma. I don't reach much fic about them, but I'd love to see it.
Bonuses: Filavandrel, Eskel and Lambert (the other Wolves from the games), horny monsters
Hades
I put "any" on my list because I'm not super picky. I'm a HUGE fan of Greek mythology and it's clear to me that Supergiant had a total blast making this game and referencing some REALLY obscure shit (Zag's connection to Orphic Dionysus, anyone?). I'd love content about pretty much everyone in this game, but I'll just rattle off a list of my favourite characters and ships for inspiration.
Thanatos/Zagreus, Megaera/Zagreus, Achilles/Patrochlus/Zagreus (or any pair of the 3), Hades/Persephone, Nyx/Persephone, Theseus/Asterius, Cerberus, Athena, Artemis, Dionysus, Skelly, Lernie
Boku no Hero
Um, I ate this up during lockdown and now I'm in love with a green lad and his superhero dad?
Hawks/Endeavor: Hawks was canonically an Endeavor fanboy and deadass asked him on a coffee date in his first appearance. Enough said. I'd like to play up the "oh gosh, I'm actually dating my childhood crush" angle because I think it's very cute.
Bakugo/Deku: Oh no, this ship is the best of "childhood friends to lovers" and "rivals to lovers!" You could do literally whatever you want with them TBH, I love them very much. In general, though, I'd like to think that Bakugo just kind of saw Deku as an annoyance until he realised just how powerful Deku was and how hard he was willing to work to control his quirk. The inherent eroticism of realising that the punk kid from elementary school is actually a total badass... effervescent. I also just love how goddamn feral Bakugo is.
Deku/Todoroki: I just love the headcanon that Todo has a HUGE crush on Deku after the tournament arc, but he's also SUPER nervous to admit it because he's worried about ruining their friendship. I'd also just love any fics about Todo healing from the trauma of growing up with Enji as a dad (because as much as I love him, he is a TERRIBLE father). Obviously, Deku is his wonderful sunshiny self and is willing to do anything to help out Todo.
Bonus assorted favs: Toga, Uraraka, Tsu, Tokoyami, Aizawa, Mina, Denki, Momo
Supernatural
Castiel/Dean: Destiel, my beloved. I'd love a post-canon fic about Dean and Cas running a waystation together (in my mind, Dean would defo retire from hunting after the season 15 finale and just end up adopting a gaggle of foster kids and running a bar in some working class corner of the US). But anything would be appreciated! I am in love with this awkward angel and his tough-as-nails husband. I'm a sucker for the two of them having a domestic life (at any point in the timeline, really), but if you want to play up the Angst, I have a bit of a Thing for Dean getting injured.
Bonus assorted favs: Dean & Sam, Charlie, Jo, Kevin, Kevin's Mom, Claire Novak
Harry Potter
*insert obligatory disclaimer about how I don't support JKR's transphobic views here*
Jokes aside, I actually headcanon Ginny and Luna as trans women and Sirius as a trans man, so if you feel up to writing about that, please be my guest! I also headcanon James Potter as being desi, making Harry mixed race and brown. But any headcanons that make the HP cast less white and cishet are *chef's kiss* but obviously not mandatory.
Draco/Harry: Most of the fic I read about them is actually post-book 7 stuff where Malfoy undergoes some serious Character Development and continues to do that work alongside Harry, who has to learn to forgive him. But I'd also be interested in an alteration where Draco acknowledges his crush on Harry in year 5 and ends up joining the DA. Either way, I love these two as a bickering married couple, trying to deal with both of their respective traumas as well as their feelings for each other. Or just having really intense makeout sessions in the Room of Requirement. Whichever.
Cedric Diggory/Harry Potter: Ah yes, my favourite rarepair. If you want to do canon compliant, having Harry pine for Cedric during book 4 would be HEARTBREAKING, but feel free to fuck me up. If you'd like to do a Cedric Lives AU, I'd certainly be interested in seeing that as well!
Luna/Ginny: These girls are peak jock/nerd supremacy and I love it! Luna wearing Griffindor colours and fawning over her Quidditch gf. The two of them staying up late in the library together so Luna can help Ginny study. Very cute and fluffy couple, though if you wanted to deal with Ginny's canon crush on Harry for some Angst, I'd love to see that as well!
Sirius/Remus: This is another sort of "anything goes" couple for me. They are very cute. I could totally see Marauders Era schenannigans with Remus having NO IDEA how to tell his best friend about his crush and James playing matchmaker. I'm also a sucker for the two of them raising Harry after James and Lily's deaths and accidentally falling in love. Or the two of them going undercover as Muggles in between the two Wizarding Wars to help Sirius escape from the law. Whatever sparks joy for you, I'd love to read it!
But yeah, thanks so much for joining the exchange, and I can't wait to see what you make!
