[ineffabilities]

In general: I like both gen and ship fic in about equal measure, and will read pretty much any rating. I like reading about found families and their dynamics, whether they're an adventuring group that's been together for a while now or a bunch of asshole superheroes that are trying to make things work. I like hurt/comfort, I even like breaking a character (Winter Soldier AUs are my brand at this point) for lots of angst, but my one solid caveat is that there has to be a happy ending. It doesn't need to be completely happy, but I just want everyone to be alive. I love everybody lives AUs bc I'm a wimp who can't stand major character death. I love AUs in general. pls feed them to me.

Do Not Want: gore way above canon-typical violence, bathroom kinks, parent kink, A/B/O and BDSM AUs, bestiality, incest when it would seem OOC for the characters, underage sex where one character is underage and the other is not, graphically depicted noncon, permanent major character death, tentacles, mpreg, knotting, graphic eye trauma

CRITICAL ROLE
Tags: Mollymauk Tealeaf/Caleb Widogast (CritRole), Solo: Mollymauk Tealeaf (CritRole), Kingsley Tealeaf & Mollymauk Tealeaf (CritRole), CR: Mollymauk Tealeaf lives, ALL: Character Imprisoned Instead of Killed, ALL: Character has an identical twin, ALL: Winter Soldier storyline, ALL: Wings, ALL: Private Investigators AU, ALL: Power Swap AU, ALL: Different character dies in canon dead character's place, ALL: Origin Swap, ALL: Characters are Toys Come to Life, Crossover: Melisandre's (GoT/ASOIAF) magic summons hero(s) from another canon, All: Soulmates Decided by the Angry Goose AU

NOTE: would prefer Molly and Kingsley at the same time somehow if Kingsley appears! I know that canonically they can't exist at the same time but what else is fan fiction for if not doing what canon mechanically can't really do. this is optional, however, you're welcome to pick one or the other!

SPECIFIC PROMPTS:

I think it would be fun if instead of getting killed Molly was also kidnapped on Glory Run Road. the idea of him getting stuck in Shady Creek Run and having to contend with Lucien's past in just about the absolute worst possible situation - captured by slavers and not doing great physically - is very attractive to me, a person who would love to see Molly undergo character development through trauma.

Lucien and Kingsley were identical twins: Lucien was the older twin, Kingsley the younger one. they were both highly ambitious, but Kingsley had lines he wouldn't cross and Lucien was too determined to make something of himself. this was something that they fell out over, and Kingsley left to become a pirate on the open sea. then, two years after the last time they saw each other, he sees his brother, dressed in a gaudy-ass coat the exact opposite of what he's come to expect from him, in the company of a bunch of very colorful adventurers on Avantika's ship. what happens next?

Winter Soldier Molly AU!! or, to spice things up, either Kingsley or Caleb as a Winter Soldier.

Molly as a private investigator, Caleb as the mysterious client with a dark past who swoops in with a dangerous yet irresistible case. alternately, Caleb as a worn-down private eye and Molly as the mysterious client, or criminal contact. give me something comparable to either Jessica Jones or the Maltese Falcon!

IT (MOVIES)
Tags: Eddie Kaspbrak/Richie Tozier (IT - Muschietti), ALL: Different character dies in canon dead character's place, ALL: Role reversal, IT: Someone else stays in Derry instead of Mike, ALL: Resurrection Is Possible But Creates a Soul Bond, All: Everyone Suddenly Gains Superpowers, All: Character Tries to Woo and Honorably Marry Their Fellow Sex Pollen Victim, Crossover: the Fab Five from Queer Eye do an episode focused on one of my requested characters, All: Characters participate in fandom, ALL: Soulbond Allows Characters To Bodyswap At Will, ALL: Character A is a huge celebrity & Character B couldn't care less
SPECIFIC PROMPTS

role reversal AU where Richie saves Eddie but is the one who gets stabbed in the process! does he confess his love in his last moments? how does Eddie deal with this in the aftermath? what does he do next? is he haunted by Richie’s ghost, or just his memory? when does he start to consider resurrection and how would he go about it?

Richie and Eddie get sex pollened! in the aftermath, one of them starts trying to woo the other, but bc they are both incredibly stupid and they thought the sex pollen thing was just, like, what bros do to help each other out, the attempts at wooing are completely overlooked. how unsubtle do they get? what finally gets them to, you know, actually talk about it?

Richie successfully raises Eddie from the dead! unfortunately he also accidentally creates a soul bond between them in the process, and this one allows them to swap bodies. what happens next?

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE
Tags: Jake Peralta/Amy Santiago (B99), Rosa Diaz & Jake Peralta (B99), All: Everyone Suddenly Gains Superpowers, All: Character takes care of or adopts a child from another canon, Crossover: Character from another fandom finds out she's the Slayer (BtVS), All: Old Guard-Style Immortality, ALL: Being in a time loop together leads to getting together, ALL: Bookworld/Jurisfiction/Thursday Next AU, ALL: Magic is a part of everyday life, ALL: Magical Girl Fusion
SPECIFIC PROMPTS

Rosa as an Old Guard-style immortal who was hiding it real well right up until, say, Show Me Going, where she does get very badly hurt. and then she suddenly just heals right up - right where the precinct can see it. how does everyone react? how does Jake, who’s been her friend for the longest time, react? did he know about this beforehand or was he as in the dark as everyone else?

Amy Santiago, Vampire Slayer! how does Amy juggle being police sergeant with slaying vampires and demons? what’s the New York supernatural scene like? does she tell Jake immediately, or does he find out at some point during their friendship? is there a supernatural creature in the precinct? how does Amy feel about being one of the few Slayers who has survived this long? if there are multiple Slayers as is the case post-season 7 does Amy hold like, Slayer classes for teens and adults? just how terrifyingly thorough are her binders on the supernatural?

the above two AUs, smushed together into one fic.

THE DEFENDERS

SPECIFIC PROMPTS

please. please, I need the Defenders to be stuck in an office building that’s being attacked by terrorists. maybe they’re initially split up but come together to wreck the terrorists’ entire shit.

I really like 616/MCU crossovers, and I would love to see how the MCU Defenders would react to the 616-verse and vice versa. how does 616!Matt feel about the fact that in the MCU Karen’s still alive and an integral part of Nelson & Murdock? what do MCU!Jessica & Luke do with their 616 versions’ daughter smacking right into them and going Mom!! Dad!!! like they know anything about looking after children? does 616!Danny try to warn his MCU version as best as he can?

A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE

FANDOM SPECIFIC DNW: if you include Ramsay Bolton as a villain please kill him off as fast as possible. otherwise I'd much rather not have to deal with him at all. am fine with the aftermath of torture, but would rather not deal with it on-page, thank you.

SPECIFIC PROMPTS

Robb and Theon getting reincarnated into modern-day Westeros, but in complete opposite situations from canon, which means Robb finds himself in deep shit and Theon is actually doing pretty well, in terms of mental health. they meet at a wedding, or at a random college party. what happens next?
