IdProQuo 2021

[aurilly]

Thank you so much for offering one of these! I want all of these ships and tags equally, regardless of how many tags I have for a ship or how much I've written. I'm aurilly on AO3 as well.

This letter might have broken a length record for me (I'm sorry!! I really let it all out). Here are anchor links to the different sections:
• Psmith
• Narnia
• MCU
• MCU/Narnia Crossovers
• Notes for Narnia Crossovers
• MCU/Witcher Crossovers (includes general Witcher crossover notes)
• Notes for Game of Thrones Crossovers
• David Blaize Crossovers


General Notes
• I apologize in advance for this letter; it got really self-indulgent (but maybe that's partly the idea? I hope?). I’m mainly here for my ships (and/or crossover adventures), so, please don't worry about how exactly your story fits the requested freeform tag or whether there's 'enough' of the tag. And definitely don't worry about whether it fits the prompts (which can also go with tags other than the ones they’re under). You can combine multiple requested freeform tags for a ship, or focus on just one. Just have fun!

• I say it throughout, but in case I missed one… For crossovers, I’m much less interested in how/why the character(s) fell through a portal or first met than I am in what comes after--when they’re past the immediate ‘wtf’ stage and are actually doing stuff or are already friends with people. So feel free to start in media res!

Things I Always Love
• Devoted Odd Couples: enjoying one another's company; laughing at one another; fond exasperation; reunions; friends to lovers (including for characters who never met in canon; I love stories that start after they’re already friends in order to focus on the ‘to lovers’ part)

• Adventures: fish out of water; exploring new territory; dramatic rescues or escapes; finding out about magic; complementary skill sets; badassery; laughing in the face of danger or absurdity; the pen is mightier than the sword (but I also really love swords)

• Sexy Times: This letter is already long, so I left general porn likes/dislikes HERE (they’re for any ship, not just the ones listed there).

• Clothing Porn: suits, leather, armour, uniforms, boots, breeches; admiring how good (or ridiculous) love interest looks in the above; not sure how to get these weird clothes off; neckties and the many uses thereof

• Hurt/Comfort: comforter is hiding their own hurt; bedside vigils; patching up loved one's wounds; fainting; stoic character trying to joke their way through pain; external force/person makes A hurt B; forced to watch loved one endure something awful; helping one another through an awful ordeal; "I thought you were dead!"

• Loyalty & Self-Sacrifice: taking someone else’s blame or punishment; jumping in front of a bullet; sacrificing career, safety, reputation or happiness for loved one (but it turns out okay in the end!); volunteering to be beaten, humiliated, tortured, fucked, etc to spare loved one or to secure some benefit for them; trying to keep sacrifice secret from loved one, either out of shame, or because A doesn't want B to feel beholden/guilty, or because A doesn’t want B to know the extent of A's feelings; B finding out anyway

• Not Originally Sexual Bondage: I prefer restraint when it, at least initially, occurs for plot reasons. For example, A ties B to the bed for sexy fun? Not my thing. A ties B to the bed to keep B from hurting himself while possessed? Yes, please! Whether or not it then turns sexy in the story (it certainly can!), it's already sexy to me. Examples... tied or chained up for a ritual or because of imprisonment; stoicism and nobility while bound, stripped, whipped, jeered at, or nonconsensually touched; captives find ways to kiss and touch despite being bound; strong character submits or pretends to be unable to break out of bonds for reasons; noble struggling and writhing

• Crossovers: applying skills/knowledge from one canon to another canon’s problems; characters coming up with logical but incorrect theories about what's going on before discovering the truth; contrasting or reconciling differences in how a concept manifests across canons (ex. immortality, magic, realm hopping, time shenanigans); magic or plot point in one canon has roots in another

• Historical or Fantasy Settings: SWORDS!; also crossbows and daggers; kneeling; knighting; tournaments; balls; "I don't know how to ride a horse!"; one horse goes lame so we have to share; camping in virgin forests; suddenly shot at by unseen archers; sleeping in haylofts; rowdy taverns; contrasting speech patterns; historical/fantasy characters intrigued by stuff or knowledge brought by realm hoppers

• Time Loops: I love journeys of self-discovery, as well as self-help adventures in which people learn life lessons, overcome some baggage, figure out priorities, etc. This trope is amazing for all that! No explanation for how it starts or stops required; feel free to handwave or leave it wholly unexplained. I’m open to any length of loop and to any resetting stimulus. Where it makes sense for the chosen character and situation, I enjoy watching loopers progress through a variety of reactions—from wacky, to "give no fucks", to suicidal, to hedonistic, to enjoying the little things, to the darkest timeline, to erroneously thinking it’s over, etc. Does the ship only get together at the end? Or do they hook up in the middle? This trope gets creepy for me when it’s focused on the looper trying to make someone fall in love with them, or where character B is simply the looper’s oblivious reward. Maybe find a way for the non-loop person to have agency? Or maybe they're in the loop together and this is the kind of intense forced proximity they need to get together? Or maybe the non-looper had already been pining; the loop simply helps the looper become less oblivious or finally develop reciprocating feelings? Basically, as long as the looper has other goals/projects, I'll be ecstatic.

• Sex In Carriages: Confined spaces, jolting that accidentally causes inappropriate touching (or allows plausible deniability that the touching was accidental), growing tension as the ride progresses, trying to make conversation during the journey, the semi-public quality of it (given that you’re in the street, and that the driver really is only a few feet away, even if we pretend the carriage is soundproof)... Do the main characters need to go to a posh party? Or are they undercover as posh for reasons, and hire a carriage as part of the act? Or maybe they’re escaping a party and to go home to their separate residences, but then… Or do they need to take a very long journey, like in a hired post-chaise, and tension grows over the hours or days as random passengers come in and out, until finally they’re the only two in the carriage? Does the driver have a heart attack or get killed mid-ride, and the main characters have to climb out and around into the driver’s seat to stop the runaway horses (maybe naked coitus interruptus)? Or something else? Just… carriages, yay!


Do Not Wants
These are the same as in my signup, but with a little more explanation on some. The category headers and organization don't mean much; I'm just trying to loosely group to reduce scrolling.

• Death & Endings: permanent death of requested characters; the afterlife; bleak endings; as-if-it-never-happened erasure endings (ex. "it was all a dream" or events of fic are permanently mind-wiped away)
• Sex-Related: BDSM; underage/overage sex; A/B/O; pregnancy or infertility issues
• Headcanons: ace, aro, demi or gender identity headcanons
• Ship-Related: non-canon romantic ships, unless prompted (however, mentions of backstory relationships with OCs are fine); poly/threesomes, unless prompted; non-canonical adultery or open relationships; conflicting requested ships (ex. A/B and A/C in same fic), unless prompted; non-canonical nicknames (ex. "Stevie"); shovel talks; yentas and matchmakers; fated love or soulmates
• Writing-Related: 1st & 2nd person POV; phonetically spelled dialogue (my brain genuinely struggles to process it)
• Crossover-Related: age differences of more than ~10 years within a ship (based on appearance for immortals); unprompted crossovers of more than two canons at a time; fourth wall breakage (ex. World A characters know World B as fiction); crossovers where the main characters remain unaware of each others' backgrounds or magic (the reveal/explanation doesn't have to happen 'on-screen', but please don't let it end with everyone thinking everyone else is normal, in a 'ships passing in the night' kind of way)
• Other: fusions; setting change AUs**; goofy crack (but crack taken seriously is fine!); references to real-life issues (ex. Covid, US politics)

**A Note on setting change AUs: I welcome invented mechanisms, like portals, to get characters from one world to another. I also welcome the addition of supernatural elements to a canon (ex. time loops, someone's mom was a fairy, Stonehenge is magic, etc.). Shifting timelines within a late 19th/early 20th century range to minimize age differences is also fine! My DNW for setting change AUs is meant to cover scenarios where the supernatural elements that form a canon's premise are wholly removed, or a requested character's pre-canon backstory beats are wholly unrecognizable, or a canon is moved to a wildly different location or time period (ex. 21st century, space).


Psmith
• Psmith/Mike

I love what an odd couple they are, and how they understand one another so well. I love their loyalty and what generous, self-sacrificing heroes they both are, while also being total little shits. Psmith's dialogue! Mike's pragmatism! I want anything where they unambiguously get together, with actual makeouts--or more! You could set it when they're at Sedleigh, the bank, Cambridge, NYC, post-Cambridge, in a wild canon divergence… Anything! DNW any hint that they will ever be with anyone else in the future; please set it before they met their wives and/or pretend they never did.

• Character Gets Superpowers
• Hurt/Comfort - Character overuses magic/powers/etc. to protect a loved one
I don’t care which of them gets the superpower or how/why it happens, so feel free to skip that or leave it unexplained. How do they react, in a world where having superpowers is not supposed to be a thing? What kind of confusion does the power cause? If he only just got it, how does the other help him through this weird time? Is having the power fun and awesome, or awkward and awful? What uses do they find for the power? Do they accidentally hurt each other and feel terrible about it? Does the one with the power try to keep it secret (or not?), while also trying to use it to help the other? How does this premise help them get together? Any superpower would be great, from traditional ones to something super random and seemingly useless.

• Crossover - same-canon ship gets together during adventure in Narnian world
• Crossover - same-canon ship gets together during adventure in Westeros/Essos (GoT)
• Crossover - same-canon ship gets together during adventure in The Witcher (TV) world
General Narnia crossover prompts are here. General GoT crossover prompts are here. General Witcher crossover prompts are here. I'm looking for the experience of being fish out of water together breaking down remaining barriers or masks, forcing them to have long overdue conversations, discovering surprising new sides, skills or qualities about each other, etc. And makeouts (or more!). I want to hear what Psmith and Mike have to say about these weird people and places, and what the characters in the other fandom make of them. Please focus the story on their adventure in the other place; no explanation for how they got there needed—you could even start days after they've arrived and met other people!

• Time Loop
• Time Loop - Groundhog Day
• Time Loop - being in the loop together leads to getting together
• Time Loop: looping character forced to watch loved one die repeatedly until loop is broken
• Time Loop: the part where the looper temporarily breaks and stops giving any fucks
• Time Loop: the part where the looper thought it was finally over only to realize it totally isn’t
General notes about time loops are at the end of the General Likes section above. Does the loop focus on a quotidian time (ex. on the ship voyage to New York, or a normal day from 'Psmith in the City', or during exams, or Cambridge Boat Races day, or…)? Or is it a more dramatic day (ex. NYC gangsters, WWI battles)? Note: the tags that say "the part where" don't have to be the main focus; that aspect can just be a couple of paragraphs, or not part of the story at all, especially if you don’t think they make sense for the story or character).


Narnia
• Edmund/Bacchus
• Edmund/Bacchus/Lucy
• Tirian/Emeth

Edmund/Bacchus OR Edmund/Bacchus/Lucy
• Ritual Public Sex
• Ritual Sex - Public
• Ritual Sex Magic
• Ritual Sex as a rite of passage
• Ritual Sex – Loss of Virginity
• Ritual Sex Required To Save The World
• Ritual Sex - masked participants find out they know one another only afterwards
• Ritual Sex - participants must draw on one another’s bodies with blood of sacrificial animal
• Ritual Sex: much-feared god turns out to be sweetheart who feels bad for required rough defloration
(I’ve wanted this for many years, so I let it all out, I’m so sorry.) Hi, I'm aurilly and I urgently, desperately need Bacchus and Edmund (and possibly also Lucy) to fuck in a pagan sex ritual during the Golden Age. Bacchus’s whole 'wine, women/men and song' schtick makes him my favorite god. I love that being redeemed and growing into a wise warrior king didn't entirely cure Edmund of being a cranky, sarcastic little shit. I love Lucy as a free spirit with an edge of sass and vulnerability, not a boring, flawless saint. Note for the drawing tag: feel free to substitute wine or mud or some other substance; I'm here for the intimate act of drawing, not specifically the blood.

Is Edmund (and/or Lucy) excited to finally lose his virginity? Or is this a duty he/they have been dreading but resigned to? Has Bacchus been looking forward to it? Do they do it on the Stone Table? Somewhere else? Is it marathon sex, given that Bacchus has godly stamina? Magical chanting and/or marking each other with the blood of a sacrificial goat? Tied down with magic vines? Ceremonial wine pouring? Magical semen? Switching? Fucked with Bacchus's thyrsus in addition to his dick? Pre-bathing by the maenads? Do spectators have their turn with the Pevensie(s) once Bacchus is done, or is Bacchus too fond/possessive/protective of him/them to allow that? Does Bacchus know he's hurting the poor Pevensie(s), and he feels bad, but he can't stop because of the ~rules? Do flowers bloom or enemies die or something every time someone orgasms? It's not over until [your choice]? Go all out, with whatever self-indulgent details get your id going, not necessarily the ones thrown out here.

Since Bacchus is a god and this is his festival, kind but firm instructions and "now is the part where you kneel before me" lordliness make delicious sense here. However, I’d prefer Edmund or Lucy not have a 'subby' mentality or for Bacchus to be a 'dom', if that makes sense? No safe words or consent discussions, please; I'll just assume everyone has agreed to go along with this. Or does Bacchus surprise Edmund by being low-key and jolly and making it fun, not acting lordly at all, or by there being a part of the ritual where Bacchus has to be vulnerable, too?

All of the above (well, not the switching) also applies to Lucy, if you're doing the threesome tag. I don't want it to feel like Lucy/Bacchus + Edmund (if there's an OTP, I want it to be Edmund/Bacchus or Edmund/Lucy), but other than that, I'm open to lots of angles. Are Lucy and Edmund squicked by the idea of being in a sexual situation, but decide to make the best of it for Narnia's sake? Does Bacchus make it not so bad? Or have they been pining for each other? Are they each secretly excited about being 'forced' to finally get what they want, but feel guilty because they assume the other is disgusted? Or are they dreading it because they're afraid they won't be able to hide their feelings from each other while fucking? Is the ritual about Lucy and Edmund servicing Bacchus? Or is it more about Lucy/Edmund needing to fuck while Bacchus acts as master of ceremonies (I am thinking the masked tag could work for this option)? Or both? Do they use fingers or mouths to get each other ready to be fucked by Bacchus (or Edmund)? A holding/stroking B or giving B oral sex while Bacchus fucks B? Regardless of your approach, how does Bacchus help Lucy and Edmund overcome their issues? Is he rooting for their love? Or does he not really care beyond wishing they'd stop angsting all over his goddamn festival?

While being a bit tipsy is fine (since it’s Bacchus and all), I don’t want drugs or aphrodisiacs or for the participants to be 'out of it'; I want Ed (and Lucy) naturally responsive and overstimulated. Please ensure Edmund and Lucy are at least 17. Bacchus can look 17 or like an adult (or keep changing), it's up to you. I don't want appearances by Peter or Susan, or for them to have gone through this ritual before. Fauns, satyrs and dryads having sex with whomever is fine, but I don't want any pure-human/pure-animal sex. I mostly ship Bacchus/humans in a revelrous, casual way (no pining!); however, if you can solve the lifespan issues, I'd be all for happily ever afters. DNW train crash, end of Narnia, or the afterlife/Aslan's country; please let me assume they'll get to live out their lives.


Tirian/Emeth
I would like them to fall in love while alive and have a hopeful ending that assumes the world continues. Tirian has such human flaws, and he started off as a hot mess of a king, but he means so well, and is quite resourceful and clever when you rouse him out of his decadence. Emeth should win a prize for the level of admiration and affection he was able to inspire in so few pages. I loved the conflict he faced between his reason, his duty, his devotion, and his desire to prove himself. I loved how excited to go to Narnia he’d always been! I think they’re perfect for one another—brave, noble warriors (and all-around lovely guys) who could come to respect and love one another despite their differences. I have a weakness for forbidden/secret relationships and 'honour and nobility know no sides' and 'love across enemy lines'. This ship has so much potential for both!

For this exchange, I’d really like a sex scene included (I don’t think any higher-rated fics have been written for them yet), so I requested only sex-related tags. But the sex doesn't have to be the majority of the fic or the main focus. Tirian being tied up was the foundation of my id (see also: Rilian); as long as there's a hopeful ending--and lots of lovely comfort from Emeth--you can whump him as hard as you like. I'm looking for a canon divergence, branching off at any point in 'The Last Battle' before everyone dies. You could keep Jill and Eustace, or make a divergence where they didn’t come during TLB… whatever works! DNW train crash, end of Narnia, or the afterlife/Aslan's country; please let me assume they'll get to live out their lives.

• Ritual Public Sex
• Ritual Sex - Public
• Ritual Sex Required To Save The World
• Spoils of War – noble victor forced to noncon captive
Tirian as war prisoner, trophy, slave, or sacrifice to Tash? Is he given to Emeth (who is a kind and noble jailer, please!) as a war trophy or slave? Or does Emeth do everything he can to obtain Tirian, as a way of saving him from someone worse? Or maybe it’s Tirian (also a kind and noble jailer) who gets Emeth as his prisoner? Do Calormene or Narnian traditions require a conquering soldier to fuck his war trophy, or require the Narnian king to fuck one of the conquered soldiers as a symbol of victory? Are they already in love by the time the ritual happens? Does Emeth find a way to do it instead of someone who'll actually hurt Tirian? Lots of comfort afterwards? Or maybe Bacchus or Aslan shows up at the eleventh hour and is like, "If you guys do this ritual, there won’t need to be an apocalypse"?

Or maybe it’s after the war (a regular war, not an apocalypse), and the centaurs and Tash priests agree that peace between their countries must be symbolized in an ancient sex ceremony. Does the ritual involve acting out the events of the war, through sex, like a kind of choreography? Lots of blood poured on them, or a bit of (non-damaging) knifeplay, etc? Something else (go wild!)? Even more importantly, how do they tenderly take care of one another afterwards?

• Captivity – hurt/comfort between fellow captives leads to sex
We saw the beginning of Emeth's disillusionment. I'd love a canon divergence where he deserts to help Tirian and Narnia. Does he see Tirian tied to the tree and free him, only for both of them to be captured, possibly without Eustace and Jill ever arriving? Are they kept in a dank tower cell? Or in Tirian's own castle? Are they beaten or humiliated in some way? Cold and wet and hungry yet stoically noble and finding out commonalities and falling in love? Are they bound or chained, but still able to hook up? Was one of them wounded before they were captured? Fevers and chills and giving up your own rations for the loved one? Etc. How do they get to a happy ending (even if that’s just escaping to the Western Wild with other Narnians)?


MCU
• Steve/Bucky
• Bucky (solo)

General Bucky Notes
Please let Bucky quickly recover or start the story as a fully functional badass with at least a glimmer of a sense of humour. I like stories about him trying to move on and build a new life, not ones where he's brainwashed or pathetic for most of it. I have a pet peeve about fics where Bucky and Steve say "ain't" and sound like characters from a 1930s gangster movie. I'd like them to sound like they do in canon, where they speak as 'correctly' as, say, Howard or Bruce do. Cursing is fine, though.

Steve/Bucky
• Crossover - same-canon ship gets together during adventure in Narnian world
• Crossover - same-canon ship gets together during adventure in Westeros/Essos (GoT)
• Crossover - same-canon ship gets together during adventure in The Witcher (TV) world
“Getting together in a portal fantasy crossover adventure” is pretty much the only thing Steve/Bucky fandom has not provided me, which is why I’m requesting it here. I have general crossover write-ups elsewhere in this letter for Narnia, GoT, and The Witcher, but here are Steve/Bucky ship notes… I love what a well-oiled team they make and how fiercely protective of one another they are, while having total respect for each other's abilities. The teasing! The self-sacrificing loyalty! I like to see them work through their baggage, not just as a couple, but individually.

Please focus the story on their adventure in the other place; no explanation for how they got there needed—you could even start well after they've arrived and met other people! I'm looking for the experience of being fish out of water together breaking down remaining barriers or masks, forcing them to have long overdue conversations, discovering surprising new sides, skills or qualities about each other, etc. And makeouts (or more!). I want to hear what Steve and Bucky have to say about these weird people and places, and what the characters in the other fandom make of them. Please let them be the only ones going to the other world; I would very much prefer that no other MCU characters accompany them.

As long as no one is bashed and Steve/Bucky is the happy ending, you can acknowledge Steve/Peggy’s (past-tense) canon feelings or pretend they were only ever just friends. I adore pining, but sentiments like "I've been single-mindedly pining for you since childhood" become too claustrophobic for me (unless you’re writing the Bucky/Frank request where Bucky gets over it). Developing feelings during or after the war is great! Or maybe one/both has been crushing since they were teens but, until recently, the crush has remained mild enough to let him have had other crushes or genuinely felt romances, too.


Bucky
What kinds of character development or healing does he get from these adventures? How can Bucky's skills or experiences be useful in this new world/situation? As the tags say, I’m interested in Bucky going to the other world, not for the other realm people to come here (one exception: the happy ending for Shireen could be that Bucky takes her back here with him). I say it everywhere, but, again, I’m less interested in how/why Bucky fell through a portal or his first meetings with people than I am in what comes after--when he’s past the immediate ‘wtf’ stage and actually doing stuff/developing friendships with people. So feel free to start in media res!

I request a lot of Bucky crossovers in part because I want him to make new friends, have adventures, and build a new life of his own; ideally, with people other than Steve’s closest friends and with concerns beyond the usual CA franchise beats. So, I’d really like something that diverges at any point before FAWS, and which doesn’t focus on Bucky’s relationships with Natasha, Sam, Sharon, Peggy, or Tony. I’d prefer that no other MCU characters accompany Bucky if he goes to another world, so that the story can focus on the friendships he makes there.

• Crossover: Character(s) from another fandom on an adventure in Narnian world
General Narnia crossover notes are in the Narnia section here. There are also specific notes for Bucky/Edmund and Bucky/Tirian here. You could also write Bucky/Emeth or Bucky/Lucy if you want to write a ship. But gen about Bucky making friends with anyone else would be just as good!

• Crossover: Character(s) from another fandom on an adventure in Westeros/Essos (GoT)
Ship-wise, I’d be up for Bucky with Missandei (as long as Greyworm isn’t upset), Daenerys, Margaery, Jaqen, or Beric. But I would be just as excited to see Bucky simply make friends with anyone in the list in the GoT crossover section here.

• Crossover: Character(s) from another fandom attend(ed) Brakebills (The Magicians (TV))
(This section got away from me… sorry!) This is different from other crossover tags I'm requesting, in that for this one I'm most interested in Bucky on Earth rather than Fillory. Basically, I have long wanted to read canon-ish setting "Bucky can do magic" fic, and this is such a fun way to get it! The hand motions for doing magic in this show were all intensely hot to me (I loved how everyone had their own individual style that matched their personality); the idea of Bucky doing it is yummy. Anyway! I can see this tag going a few different ways…

One way is to completely background the tag. Meaning, Bucky attended before he went to war, but the story actually starts well after he’s graduated; no Magicians characters or settings appearing at all. If the story is set during WWII, how does Bucky use his skills to help? Or maybe the story starts even later, after he’s escaped from Hydra. Had they forced him to do dark magic? How does having magic change his options or decisions now that he’s free? Or does his magic take awhile to come back to him, along with his memories? Does having magic allow Bucky to take a more active role in some corner of canon that he otherwise couldn't/didn’t? Like, going on a space or magical mission, or fixing a canon problem with magic? Does he hang with Loki (you can ship them, if you want); if so, how do their types of magic differ? You can also write Steve/Bucky story where Bucky is magic.

OR! If you want to include Magicians characters and/or settings… Maybe he attended in the 30s/40s, but the story starts after Bucky escapes Hydra, and he goes back to his alma mater to hide out (because it’s the only place he thinks is safe)? Do the dean and the teachers give him a room and try to help him? Does everyone band together to fight Hydra if/when they come to get Bucky?

Or maybe Bucky attends Brakebills after he escapes from Hydra. Perhaps Bucky, Margo and Eliot are all first year's together, but events of the fic explain why he wasn't there for their second year? How can magic help his mind problems? Or maybe the story starts in Bucky's second year while Margo and Eliot are first years? How do they become friends? Does he guide Eliot and Margo the way they guided Quentin’s year? Is he a little bit older than most of the other students, all mysterious and broody, and Margo and Eliot are obsessed with him? Or maybe he attends after the main characters moved to Fillory/stopped going to class. Does he drink with the Dean? Hang out with Todd (you could ship Bucky/Todd, if you want)? Does he meet the main characters during their brief visits back to Brakebills for advice or supplies or whatever? What is his discipline? What do the professors think of him? Does he spend a lot of time petting Cancer Puppy? Is he good at Battle Magic? Is he Mayakovsky’s favorite student? Does he go to Incanto Oculto? Does he hang out with Penny's 1920s ghost friend?

Almost the only thing I wouldn’t be interested in is a rehash of Magicians canon with Bucky inserted into it, like, replaying S1/2 pretending Bucky had been there. I want a new story! I’m also vastly less interested in the application process than I am in what happens after, while he’s a student, or, again, even later, after he’s graduated; so, feel free to skip all that and start later. If you're writing something where the main Magicians characters appear, my faves are Eliot, Margo, Quentin, and OG!Penny. I ship any permutation of Bucky, Eliot, Margo, and/or Quentin (whether involving Bucky or not); as an exception to my general DNW, threesomes and foursomes are totally fine here. Or just friends is great, too! I have not watched season 5. I was much less invested in storylines about hedge witches. Julia’s plotlines were very upsetting and triggery to me; I'd prefer as little focus on that as possible. Please no Margo/Josh, dead Quentin, or mentions of the canon rape or pregnancy plots.


MCU/Narnia Crossovers
• Bucky/Edmund
• Bucky/Tirian

Bucky/Tirian
• Long-lost friends develop feelings and get together when they unexpectedly reunite in the present
• Long-lost lovers rekindle romance and bone when they unexpectedly reunite in the present
• Crossover: Character(s) from another fandom on an adventure in Narnian world
• Action & Romance
I would really really really like Bucky to go to Narnia at some point, but other than that, go for whatever other setting-typical action/adventure scenario you want to write. They would be so competent and delightful and hot together. Noble (but rash) fairytale king + Brooklyn street smarts, yum. Please let them get to know each other and make out (or more!). The prompts in the Bucky/Edmund section directly below or in the general Narnia crossover section below that will work for this ship, too.

Bucky/Edmund
I want them to love each other as much as I love them, and to have adventures, and be competent, and unambiguously get together, with actual makeouts (or more!). What aspects of their angsty backgrounds can they pep talk each other through? How can their experiences and skill sets help each other or help solve an issue in either canon? How do they figure out one another's backstories, and what do they think of the other's? How do they fall in love? There's delicious potential for angsty separations and happy ending reunions in this ship, too, if you want.

Edmund being a kid and Bucky being a soldier during WWII is too situationally intrinsic to both characters for my usual ‘just pretend they were the same age at the same time’ approach. However, I’d be thrilled to ignore or break the timelines to make it work in other ways. For example, post-TWS Bucky traveling to the Golden Age or some other point in Narnian history works for me, no explanation needed! Is it a divergence where the Pevensies ruled for longer? Or do Bucky and Edmund reunite later back in our world? Or maybe at the end of Endgame, Bucky time travels to the 50s/60s when Edmund is grown up again, either as the initial premise of the story or as the happy ending epilogue. Something else? Basically, do whatever you need to avoid an age discrepancy ending and I'll roll with it. I’m fine with kid!Edmund having a starry-eyed crush on adult!Bucky before they reunite when they’re both adults, but I’m not okay with Bucky having sexual feelings about a child (if they used to date before Edmund gets de-aged, I’d like him to just turn off those feelings until they’re matching ages again).

• Action & Romance
I would really really really like Bucky to go to Narnia at some point, but other than that, go for whatever other setting-typical action/adventure scenario you want to write.

• Crossover: Character(s) from another fandom on an adventure in Narnian world
All prompts are in the general Narnia crossover notes below.

• Long-lost friends develop feelings and get together when they unexpectedly reunite in the present
• Long-lost lovers rekindle romance and bone when they unexpectedly reunite in the present
Does Bucky encounter the Pevensies while they’re still rather young (whether during ‘Prince Caspian’, VoDT, early on during the Golden Age, or during WWII); nothing shippy happens then, but it does when they reunite when Edmund is an adult and Bucky basically hasn’t aged? Or maybe they never met before, but Bucky went to Narnia (or had some Narnia-related experience) during a time when the Pevensies weren’t there, and he meets adult Edmund back in our world; how do they figure out their Narnia connection while also falling for one another (I know this prompt doesn’t technically fill these tags, but it does fill my solo “Bucky in Narnia” request)? Or maybe a magical figure who exists in both Narnia and Earth (ex. Bacchus, Father Christmas) helps them find one another again, either here or there? Or use an idea of your own! You can include the flashbacks, or just focus on the reunions.


Narnia Crossovers
A brief intro or ending in our world is okay, but I'm mainly interested in the crossover characters being in the Narnian world. Feel free to start with the crossover characters already there, no need to explain how they got there. Time between these realms is already untethered and random, and I welcome as much timey-wimey handwaving as you want to add. I'm actually begging you to! Ex. there's no reason why post-TWS Bucky couldn't travel to the Golden Age or Tirian’s reign, or why Psmith/Mike couldn't hang with Tirian. No explanations for timeline changes needed. I've basically DNW'ed the entire second half of The Last Battle (please let me assume everyone will get to live out their lives and that the Narnian world will continue). You can include the main Narnia characters, but you don’t have to; I just want something set in that world.

Does someone blow the horn to summon the crossover characters for aid, at any point in Narnian history? Do they help the Pevensies fight giants during the Golden Age? Or help get rid of the remaining werewolves or hags? Helping Rilian during those difficult first few weeks after being back? Making friends with Giant Rumblebuffin? Visiting Bism? Or did they arrive in Tashbaan during HHB, and Edmund secretly integrates them into his entourage? Or maybe they just hang with Narnian royalty in any time period you choose. Arriving just in time for a tournament in Archenland? Sea voyage adventures on the Splendour Hyaline? (Note for if you write Golden Age fic: I love the Pevensies as a foursome, but if you’re focusing on just one or two of them, I will admit to being much more interested in Edmund and/or Lucy.)

Do the crossover guys join Tirian for a pre-TLB jaunt to Calormen, whether for espionage, diplomacy and/or undercover partying? Does this adventure somehow result in the whole Calormene invasion getting nipped in the bud? Or, you know how Tirian astrally projected to the Friends of Narnia that one time? Well, what if he had been doing it on the regular, with one of the crossover characters? They have always secretly thought they had an imaginary friend (or are going nuts), but one day they meet in Narnia.

Or, perhaps the crossover fleshes out a mentioned-in-passing Narnia episode that we never saw. For example, did crossover characters help the guy who spirited baby Shasta to Calormen? Were they around when the Duffelpuds got cursed, or did they try one of the spells in the Magician’s book? Were they the ones who brought the Knife to Ramandu's island? Do they get sold into Calormene or Lone Islands slavery? Did they help Trumpkin deal with a problem in Narnia while Caspian was at sea? Did they win a key battle against the White Witch that kept her from growing even stronger than what we saw? Did they keep score while Corin fought the bear? Were they around to help carve the words that Jill fell into a thousand years later? Were they involved in the unknown story of how Narnia originally won dominion over the Lone Islands? Did they arrive just after the Pevensies disappeared in the Golden Age? Or anything else! The whole Narnian world is your oyster.


MCU/Witcher Crossovers
• Bucky/Geralt

General Witcher Crossover Notes
I love the idea of people from other canons going through a portal and having an adventure in the Witcher world (no need to explain how they got there; feel free to start even days after they’ve arrived!). What do they make of this new world, and what do other people make of them? How can they help with a problem there? Geralt is my fave, but I like a lot of characters, especially Ciri, Dara, Istredd, Mousesack, Calanthe, Tissaia, Triss, Jaskier… Yennefer is welcome, but DNW any mention of her baby quest; please pretend she and Geralt are over or that they never had feelings. I am only familiar with the TV show. However, feel free to use place names or bits of history or monsters I don't know for 'case of the week'-type stuff.

Maybe Geralt meets the strangers in a tavern/on the road/something and he decides to let them tag along--at least for as long as it takes to get to a sorcerer or something who might be able to help them get back home. Is their arrival due to Law of Surprise shenanigans? Or did Mousesack magically summon a hero for Calanthe, and this is who came? Do the newcomers help Dara and Ciri reconnect? Do they end up in that forest and angst about whether or not to drink the amnesia water? Does a shapeshifter baddie impersonate one half of a ship (without killing the original), causing angst until the other half figures it out and kills the shapeshifter and saves the love interest? Do people in a town think the poor, confused, recent arrivals are some sort of monster, and they want Geralt to kill him, but Geralt ends up fighting for them? Or maybe the newcomers help Geralt learn to be a good dad figure to Ciri?

Do they think it’s weird that Geralt talks to his horse? What songs does Jaskier write about these new people? Can supersoldiers get drunk off the liquor in this place? I love the idea of crossover characters helping Geralt fight monsters (either through more brute strength, or through clever means informed from our world that Geralt wouldn’t have thought of), and/or ending up completely filthy, leading to… sexy bathing scenes! Or another way to get the same-canon couples together? I love all the magic and trope possibilities in this canon that could get or require people to make out (or more!). It’s such a big world; if you get an idea outside of these prompts, please feel free to go for it!

Bucky/Geralt
I love these two stoic woobie badasses. They have quite in common--being taken and modified, turned into super strong killing machines, retaining the goodness at their cores, being looked at as monsters even though they aren't really, dry sarcasm, etc. I think some of the commonalities, taken together with the wild differences that being from different worlds entails, would make for a fascinating duo! How do they pep talk (for Geralt's definition of 'pep talk', lol) each other out of their baggage? It can be forever true love with Bucky being stuck in that world forever and not minding it, or it can be a bittersweet thing where Bucky goes home at the end, but they both fondly remember their time together. I just want them to really like each other, be a bit comforted by one another, be badass together, and have very muscular makeouts (or more!).

• Crossover: Character(s) from another fandom on an adventure in The Witcher (TV) world
The prompts in the general Witcher crossover section above apply here.

• Sex in a carriage
Bucky and Geralt hooking up in a carriage as part of a story about Bucky in that world would be fun. See the end of my General Likes section above for squee about ‘sex in a carriage’.


Game of Thrones Crossovers
Crossover characters riding dragons, wielding swords, killing White Walkers, turning out to be the actual prince who was promised, outmaneuvering the best players of the game of thrones, Bucky’s arm acting as Valyrian steel, fighting in a trial by combat for someone worthy, taking the ‘mean’ characters down a peg… Any and all of this would make me scream with joy. How can their skills or experiences help GoT characters and vice versa? What do the GoT characters make of them?

A brief intro or ending in our world is okay, but I'm mainly interested in the crossover characters being in the GoT world. Feel free to start with them already there, no need to explain how they got there. DNW any appearance by Ramsay Snow or the Sand Snakes. The afterlife is one of my general DNWs, but random zombies and whatever was going on with Jon and Beric don't count as the afterlife to me. I have only seen the TV show, but you can include bits of book canon as long as the crossover characters learn about it with me.

Characters I love/want fic for most include: Missandei, Tyrion, Varys, Daenerys, Gendry, Davos, Shireen, Tormund, the Hound, Jaqen, Brienne, Podrick, Sam, Gilly, Margaery, Olenna, Ros, and all the Mormonts. Canon pairings are fine to include in the background (and Jorah/Daenerys would make me smile). I love divergences that keep people alive, but I'm fine keeping canon deaths as long as those deaths don't wipe out a majority of the characters with whom the crossover guys have made friends. However, Shireen is the exception; if she's in the story, she MUST live! You can keep Daenerys's madness and death, or pretend she was sane and won, or somewhere in the middle.

I'm open to stories set in any place or time in the world, even if it's all OCs or pre-canon. I also love inserting crossover characters into missing stretches of the story, as the kind of untold explanation for how GoT characters got from point A to B. Maybe they're reason Gendry was able to get safely back to King's Landing? Or they traveled with Beric and Thoros and the Hound on their way North? Or they helped baby Daenerys and Viserys escape the sack of King's Landing? Or…?

I'm sure there's a lot of work to be done rebuilding the kingdom or paying the debts or repairing King's Landing, or… How can crossover characters help? Does someone get a role on the small council? Are they traveling the King's Road and wander into Hot Pie's restaurant? Do they encounter Jaqen? Or maybe it's set in Mereen or Dragonstone when Daenerys was still there. How do the crossover characters end up in the inner circle? Does Tyrion try to get them drunk? Is Daario rightfully jealous of these amazing warriors? Is Varys impressed with their cleverness? Or maybe they get sold into slavery? I really want anything; there's too much to prompt for.


David Blaize Crossovers
• Frank Maddox/Thor (MCU)
• Frank Maddox/Bucky Barnes (MCU)
• Frank Maddox/Ethan Chandler (Penny Dreadful)

General Frank Notes
While Frank's anguished self-loathing is super compelling, I ultimately want him to get over it (and get over himself, a little) and find some measure of happiness and self-acceptance—with actual kissing, or more! I adore pining, but sometimes, if it goes on for years and years and makes my fave miserable or repressed, I end up just wanting him/her to move on with someone else he or she can actually be with. I reached that point by the end of the second book (which depressed me a bit, on Frank’s behalf). So, please let Frank get over his crush on David and be entirely into a new guy, without bashing David (whom I do like!). Even if the fling has to amicably end because of circumstances, Frank should at least be left in a more positive headspace to love again in the future.

Frank is such a fascinating and endearing blend of judgmental, whimsical, bossy, charismatic, and melancholic. The chapter where he devises the plan to catch the cheaters was such fun, as was his love of the macabre; if it fits, shipfic that incorporates his cleverness, snark, take-chargeness, and/or sense of whimsy would be lovely. Or run with the thing where he cured David with the power of love to a place where Frank is literally magical?

I originally read this series because I love boarding school stories, but I ended up mainly wanting fic about Frank's post-Marchester life. I want to know more about his college years (before David got to Cambridge), about his trips to Greece, or about his post-university life in London or elsewhere, about his life as an archaeologist (archaeology is so romantic!)… So, please set it when Frank is anywhere between 19-30 (ie. canon divergence after he leaves Marchester, or shortly post-canon), so he doesn't have to wait too long to be happier.


Frank/Thor (MCU)
• Using Superpowers During Sex
• Internalized Homophobia - cured via sex with open-minded deity
• Touch-Starved Character Having Overwhelming Tender Long Foreplay First Time Sex
• Sex - Touch-Starved Character So Overwhelmed They Don't Know What to Do With Themselves
Frank not only needs a nice, hot boyfriend; he also needs to get laid (hence all the sex tags). I want Thor to carefully, joyfully, overwhelmingly seduce and fuck Frank’s repression away. If an actual god is so into it/him, who is Frank to say this is ‘beastly’ or wrong? I want Frank to be gobsmacked that this amazing person likes men, much less wants Frank specifically. I want Thor to kiss and stroke and nuzzle Frank until he's drowning in long-delayed satisfaction. I want Frank to be an enthusiastic, curious and active participant, not just lie down and take it the whole time.

I love Thor so much. He balances godly/regal gravitas with jolliness, earnestness, gentleness, slyness, and a delightful alien weirdness. He would be such a fascinating foil for Frank's complicated temperament, and just generally, it would be boiling hot. I love every iteration of Thor, but for this ship, I want pre-Ragnarok Adonis!Thor. Please let Frank find out who/what Thor is! What is Frank’s reaction to this literal fairytale prince/god? Thor’s reaction to this lovely and clever but repressed earthling? It can be forever love (if so, please handwave a mention of magical solutions to the lifespan issues), or a fling that ends amicably when Thor has to go home again, leaving Frank in a healthier and happier headspace to continue on with the rest of his life, both of them retaining fond memories of their time together.

I'm open to any premise that gets Thor to 1920s England or Greece. You could pretend Thor 1 took place a century earlier so that banished Thor landed in Cambridge or in Frank’s parents' backyard or in one of his Greek archaeology digs. Or maybe it’s set pre-Thor canon, when he snuck over to Earth for some secret fun and got stuck here (or Loki played a prank that got him stuck here)? Or perhaps during one of his archaeological digs, Frank set off a magical thingy that summons gods, only one from a different set arrives. Or some wholly other reason/way for Thor to be on Earth; I don't actually care, and it's fine to skip over that part. Is there a fish out of water element, with Thor trying to blend into 1920s Cambridge, or a Wodehouse-style club, or with Frank’s family? What do Frank’s friends make of Thor? How does Thor take to having to keep their relationship on the DL?

Some additional random optional details to include could be: Thor using Mjolnir to fly Frank somewhere gorgeously remote; switching; spanking; marathon sex; held down by Mjolnir so that Frank is completely at Thor's mercy; overstimulation and beyond. Are Asgardians nonchalantly bisexual? If so, does Thor not understand Frank’s repression? Or do Asgardians have their own hangups? If so, how do Thor's and Frank's different hangups intersect, and how do they get over them together?


Frank/Bucky (MCU)
Bucky notes are at the start of the MCU section here. I would mostly like a WWII getting together story. DNW big age differences in my ships, so my biggest ask is to please pretend the Benson books were set later so Frank's around the same age as Bucky during WWII. They’d make such a great odd couple. Brooklyn boy/posh Brit, classical education/street smarts, etc. How do they overcome Frank’s (possibly also Bucky’s?) internalized homophobia and find something good? Note: the prompts below don’t have to go with the tags they’re under; feel free to mix and match.

Ideas for how to make a non-depressing ending… You can pretend Bucky didn’t fall off the train and they went home after the war. Or maybe Frank rescues his brainwashed old flame from Hydra in, like, 1950 (ie. before there’s a major age difference). Or they both got the serum, which, let's say, makes you immortal/very slow aging, so Frank's still around Bucky's age when they reunite post-2010. Or you can make it bittersweet, with Bucky still falling, but even though he grieves, their time together has left Frank in a healthier place to live and love again without such self-loathing (and WE know Bucky will eventually be okay, per canon). Or something else… you get the idea.

• Long-lost lovers rekindle romance and bone when they unexpectedly reunite in the present
"The Present" being a few years after the war or one of the other scenarios above. Or maybe Bucky travels back in time at the end of Endgame to return the Stones or something, and looks up his WWII boyfriend in the late 40s/early 50s (i.e. has aged about the same amount as Bucky since the war), who is only shocked and delighted to see he isn’t dead.

• Touch-Starved character having overwhelming tender long foreplay first time sex
• WWI/II - soldiers tenderly consummate forbidden love affair during rare privacy opportunity
• Pining - A interprets B’s internalized homophobia as lack of interest (before porny happy ending)
Maybe the 107th is camped alongside Frank’s unit before or after their capture? Sharing a foxhole together? Exploring or hiding in a bombed out village together? Left behind and forced to trek to safety together? Saving one another? Stranded in a snowy cabin or warm woods? Appreciating the beauty of Europe despite the horror of war? Down time at a bombed out pub? Does the desperation of war get them over their issues enough to act on their feelings?

• Hurt/Comfort with Sex as Comfort
• Hurt/Comfort - Accidental arousal while cuddling for comfort
• Hurt/Comfort - A nurses injured B back to health after B got tortured or raped to spare A the same
• Captivity – hurt/comfort between fellow captives leads to sex
• Captivity - Captured Together
• Character Gets Superpowers
What if Frank was also a prisoner in Azzano, possibly also getting experimented on? Do they huddle together between torture/experimentation sessions, clinging to each other and their identities? Desperate "we’ll probably die tomorrow" confessions and hookups? Trying to be stoic for the other one's sake? A volunteering to let Hydra agents do terrible things to him so that B doesn't have to endure it? Or maybe it's set after Steve’s rescued Bucky. Frank could have been a prisoner, too, or maybe they only meet after the rescue, or maybe they met in the trenches before Bucky's capture and are reuniting now. Are they in a wartime hospital together? Repressing their residual trauma during the day, and desperate for comfort from the only person who understands at night? If they were both captured, what happens when they begin to realize that the experiments left permanent changes on them (i.e. superpowers)? Are they terrified or horrified, leading to even more closeness?

• Undercover as a couple
• Undercover as a couple brings out feelings
• Casefic: Undercover as a couple
• Undercover - Forced to have sex to keep their cover
• Action & Romance
I'd love for Frank and Bucky to get together while using their combined smarts on a mission--either as part of a group, or a side project just for them. Was Frank one of the Howling Commandos? Or maybe Frank isn’t a soldier at all, but rather a civilian who is asked to use his archaeology knowledge to help the war effort, and the generals partner him with their best sniper soldier. Is the mission to get information, or to prevent the Nazis from getting some Ancient Greek occult blah blah, or...? It would be so amazingly angsty for Frank to have to go 'undercover' as gay, when he actually, repressedly is! What's it like to be 'forced' to act on what he wants so very badly? I’m thinking espionage, stakeouts, disguises, fake accents, foreign languages, quick thinking, infiltrating a posh or bohemian party… anything!

• Character A thinks they're just character B's rebound but they're not
Is Frank initially jealous of Bucky’s friendship with Steve, because he’s projecting his own experiences with David onto Steve&Bucky? Is Frank just imagining things? Or is he correct in thinking Bucky has been unrequitedly pining? Or vice versa, with Bucky jealous of David (except Frank definitely WAS into David before Bucky). Or both? Either way, I need both of them to completely get over any previous crushes as they fall for one another, without bashing anyone. (This prompt is an exception to my "conflicting requested ships" DNW.)


Frank/Ethan (Penny Dreadful)
I basically want Frank to hang with the PD gang in London and get involved with their supernatural drama (please please let him find out about it!). Does finding out about and dealing with all this demi-monde insanity put 'beastliness' into new perspective for Frank (I mean, Ethan is LITERALLY a beast, so Frank kind of needs to tamp down his own angst)? Does Frank find out about Ethan's werewolfness? If so, how does he react (hopefully some hurt/comfort?)? Does Vanessa give Frank the kind of pep talks she gives Victor?

Please pretend the David Blaize books took place earlier, so that Frank is around the same age as Victor or Vanessa in the early 1890s, with the same age difference as between either of them and Ethan (I think Ethan’s a few years older?). I really do want Ethan/Frank to be wholly into one another, so please pretend Vanessa/Ethan wasn’t a thing or that he’s moved on (from Vanessa and/or Brona) by the time he meets Frank.

I loved this show for Victor, Vanessa, Ethan, Malcolm, Sembene, and Lyle's Scooby Gang teamwork and found family, so a bit of that in the background would be fun, if it fits your idea. I wasn’t very interested in John Clare or Lily’s plots, so would prefer the story not to focus on them (mentions or super brief cameos are fine). DNW Victor to bring anyone else back to life or for anyone else to become a vampire or werewolf.

Maybe Frank knew one of the gang before the story started. I’ll give some examples for backstory to spark you, but what I’m most interested in is what happens after they’ve incorporated Frank into the group, not a fic that’s all about these backstories or his first meeting with Ethan. Ex. maybe Frank grew up in the same area as the Murray/Ives houses, and was a childhood friend of Vanessa’s? Or perhaps Victor went to Marchester or Cambridge with Frank? Do they reunite by chance, like, at a ball or at a scene of supernatural violence that Frank manages to survive? Or do Victor or Vanessa recruit him for help with their latest monster endeavor? Or maybe Frank works at the museum after his fellowship, and Lyle brings him in as a Classics or archaeology expert.

• this fandom is tiny gimme whatever you think I'd like (other than DNWs) I trust you
I have wanted fic for this ship for years. I’ll really take anything vaguely in the spirit of these prompts (while keeping the age differences small), even if it doesn’t fit one of the tags.

• Ritual Sex Magic
• Ritual Sex - Loss of Virginity
• Ritual Sex - participants must draw on one another’s bodies with blood of sacrificial animal
A sex ritual is required to solve the magic plot/problem blah blah of the week... Ethan volunteers! Or it can be on the dubcon spectrum, where there’s an external reason why it MUST be them and they’re resigned to it (but they secretly, angstily don’t mind). Note for the drawing tag: feel free to some other substance if you want; I'm here for the intimate act of drawing, not specifically the blood.

• Touch-Starved Character Having Overwhelming Tender Long Foreplay First Time Sex
• Sex - Touch-Starved Character So Overwhelmed They Don't Know What to Do With Themselves
Does Ethan take Frank out on a date, and maybe Frank doesn't initially realize that's what it is, because he'd never think this hunky, seemingly 'normal' American would be like that, only to find out that Ethan has slept with at least one man without angsting about it? Even if it’s not a date, I just want them to bone and for it to lead to nice realizations for Frank. Also, the sex doesn't need to be the main thing in the fic, or take up a whole ton of words. It can just be a minor element.

• Sex in a carriage
• Sex in an Opera Box
Frank and Ethan hooking up in a carriage as part of the story would be great! I mean, Sir Malcolm canonically sends his carriage to ferry his friends about. Or maybe Frank has his own carriage? See the end of my General Likes section above for squee on the ‘sex in a carriage’ prompt. Separately (or maybe combined?), the opera is my favorite thing. Grand opera houses are my second favorite. Is Frank well-versed and whispering tidbits to Ethan, who maybe hasn’t been to the opera before (or who actually knows all about it but is pretending to be an uncultured American in order to keep Frank’s face within kissing distance)? Does the music or story transport them to aroused heights? Or does supernatural drama break out at the opera, leading to feelings revealed?

• Finding Out They're a Child of the Fae
Run with the thing where Frank cured David with the power of love to a place where Frank is literally magical. How does he realize he's part of the demi-monde and start helping? It doesn’t literally need to be "fae"; he could be a selkie or something, IDK. The only things I don’t want are for Frank to be a werewolf, vampire, or anything undead. Has Frank always known what he is (and been self-loathing about it, naturally, which hanging with the PD crew might help with), or does he only find out while hanging out with these weirdoes? Is Frank’s thing able to help or comfort Ethan’s werewolfness? Or can Ethan comfort Frank through his thing? How does this lead to them getting together?

• Undercover - Masquerade Party
• Undercover - Forced to Have Sex to Keep Cover
• Characters Team Up To Investigate Something Paranormal/Supernatural
Maybe everyone stayed in London at the end of S2 and found a new thing to fight. Or maybe Frank helps with post-canon or alternate S3 adventures (either keeping the ending or pretending Vanessa didn't die)? Catching the Ripper? Dealing when Jekyll goes full Hyde? Something else? Whatever it is, how does the adventure help Frank/Ethan get together? Do they go on a vampire-hunting mission, just the two of them (or with the whole gang), or heal a haunted house? Or maybe they leave London entirely? A trip to Bath or some other society place? Do Frank or Ethan teach each other some kind of skill, the way Ethan taught Victor how to shoot? Some other project that requires them to combine their talents and knowledge? Do they have to infiltrate a creepy gathering or society event? Going undercover as brothers or lovers?
