Fandom: Fallout (Video Games)
Any Character
I don’t actually know what the song’s about because I can’t find lyrics listed anywhere, but The Evangelicals’ “The Last Christmas on Earth” gave me a serious craving for fic about Christmas in the Fallout universe (which is maybe more relevant for a Yuletide request, but what can you do). I'm only partway through Fallout 3 and New Vegas, nearly done with Fallout 1, and I haven't played Fallout 2 at all, so I guess anything really spoilery in terms of the main plots would be less than ideal, but I really don't need anything plot-related anyway--I absolutely adore the worldbuilding in the Fallout games, so mostly I'd like to see a story that captures some part of that. Christmas in a Vault, in a city, in some part of the wasteland, a new city that none of the games explore (if you’re familiar with it; I actually live in Anchorage, and Operation Anchorage doesn’t resemble the area in the slightest, which bugs me to no end), in a group of scavengers, maybe different holidays in different groups of Wasteland residents—go wild. Or other holidays--I just said Christmas because it’s what I’m used to, and I think it would be fascinating to see what might change and what might stay the same. Or not a holiday at all! In general, I’m interested in things like humans piecing together new civilizations from the fragments of old ones, ladies being awesome against the backdrop of the Wasteland (just in general, especially with some weird leftover 1950s attitudes), ghouls dealing with discrimination, really anything that captures the game’s atmosphere and shows what daily life might really be like for someone who lives there. If you want to focus on a specific character, Arcade (New Vegas) is my favorite, and Veronica is awesome too, but I'd be interested in reading about pretty much any character you prefer (including your own OCs), in whatever Fallout-verse setting you prefer.

Fandom: Gravity Falls
Dipper Pines, Mabel Pines
I’d love to see a straight-up crossover with Five Nights at Freddy’s, since we pretty much got EXACTLY THAT already, but anything that captures the show’s humor, creepiness/weirdness, and great sibling relationship would be awesome. Gen is probably best, or at least canon ships, but if there’s a particular ship you want to play with, that’s fine; I just really don’t want underage or incest. I didn't list any other characters because I'd like to keep it pretty open, but I've been really interested in the Bill Cipher arc in all its semi-Lovecraftian creepiness. Canon-divergence AUs from various points in that plotline could be really interesting.

Fandom: Star Wars - All Media Types
Risha Drayen, Vette (Star Wars), Female Smuggler (Star Wars)
The only Star Wars property I have really fannish feelings toward is The Old Republic, because Bioware. I picked these characters specifically after meeting Risha with my smuggler and realizing she and Vette have a history, which I think is fascinating, so I'd love to see more about that--their past, or some meeting in the future, when Risha's with the smuggler and Vette is with the Sith Warrior. (For what it's worth, I also tentatively ship Risha with my female smuggler, but that's based on like one semi-flirty comment in one conversation.) I'm only about halfway through the smuggler storyline, though, try to avoid any huge plot spoilers? (In terms of other spoilers, I've finished the agent, Sith Inquisitor, and Sith Warrior storylines, and I'm maybe 2/3 of the way through the Jedi Knight.) I'm also not too picky--I think what I described above is interesting, but literally anything that works with the game's worldbuilding and/or side characters would be fantastic. Particularly great if it involves ladies being awesome, what player companions do when we don't have them summoned (especially if it involves hanging out with each other, or other connections between different player-character companions like with Risha and Vette), cosmic-horror-type stuff like some of what we get in the Tatooine side mission "What Czerka Found." It also occurred to me recently that an asexual Vector could be really interesting, maybe as something that came with his Joining but that he’s fully accepted the way he has the rest of the changes that happened to him. Maybe a romance between an ace Vector and a gray-A agent, who’s willing to use sex to get her job done but doesn’t care a whole lot about it otherwise? Just about anything with Vector in general would be cool, either in the present or in his history before his Joining. Or literally anything with Kira Carsen, because she's awesome and I love her, and she has a fascinating past. In particular, anything that involves her and the Jedi Knight teaming up to make Doc's life miserable and get him to STOP HARASSING THEM, HOLY CRAP would be amazing.

Fandom: Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Jupiter Jones
I love Jupiter Jones. I tag-rambled a little bit about why on Tumblr, and anything that gets at that core of strength she didn't know she had would be wonderful. I'd love to see pretty much anything about her reclaiming her agency and figuring out what to do with it, exploring amazing new places (with or without Caine), maybe experimenting with any powers or tech she was able to bring back (like, if she can communicate with bees in general, that could come in handy). I picked her here because she's the main character I'm interested in, but there's plenty of other stuff in this universe that could be really cool. For instance, I think Jupiter would have saved Balem from falling to his death if she'd had the chance, so an AU where she does that could be fascinating. I don't know what, if anything, happened to the other Abrasax siblings after the film, so that could be fun to explore. I've also firmly accepted the fan theory that Balem was the Entitled whose throat Caine ripped out, and I'd love to see anything playing with that idea, since we still don't know why he did it. (I have a vague thought that it might have had something to do with Ceraphi's death, but I really don't know if that makes sense.) Maybe Jupiter helps him figure it out, I don't know.

Fandom: Big Hero 6 (2014)
Hiro Hamada, Tadashi Hamada
I'd love to see a fic that integrates this movie with the MCU, particularly if it means Tadashi doesn't die (seriously, he could've been in a coma for the whole movie, it wouldn't have changed things much); there's a cute piece of fanart where Tadashi is a Stark Industries intern, for instance. Any AU where Tadashi doesn't die would be great, actually, even if it's something of a Winter Soldier thing (with an ultimately happy ending, please). My main MCU obsession is Loki, or rather sympathetic interpretations and redemption arcs for him (and proper reconciliation with Thor), so if you figured out a way to cross over Big Hero 6 with the MCU in a way that prominently features Loki and maybe Thor, I'd be thrilled. The brother relationships could be fun to play with, and of course Big Hero 6 involves opening portals--so hey, maybe somehow a portal opens to the Void and Loki gets pulled through instead of falling into Thanos' hands, and...I don't know, he has to hang around Hiro and his friends while he recovers from being in the Void, where he learns some important things about how great humans can be and how important family is, all that good kind of Disney stuff he needs, and gets some attempts at therapy from Baymax or something.

Fandom: The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
Loki (Marvel), Thor (Marvel), Thanos (Marvel)
I love Loki, and that’s because he’s my baby, but I pretty much only like sympathetic interpretations and redemption arcs for him, which you might be able to tell from the kinds of Loki fics I’ve written and bookmarked. I like seeing him working on the same side as the Avengers (particularly against Thanos), and I really like seeing him reconciling with Thor. I also like seeing terrible things happen to him because I like hurting the ones I love. The kinds of Loki fic I usually prefer to read and write involve him being at least not entirely at fault for the New York invasion because he was tortured and compelled or strongly influenced by Thanos, and something else along those lines would be great. Canon-divergence AUs from almost any point during the movie could be great too, at least if events lead in one way or another to revealing what happened to Loki in the Void and at least getting him on track toward the good things I mentioned above (reconciling with his family but especially Thor, fighting with instead of against the good guys, redeeming himself, etc.). Some specific, more complicated AU ideas that I really like are in my Dear Author letter. I like pretty much everyone else in this movie too, and elsewhere in the MCU, so any other characters you'd like to include would be very welcome (in particular, MCU ladies, because they're awesome), but I'd definitely prefer Loki to be the focus. My Tumblr is basically 75% “crying about Loki all the time,” so my Loki tag is probably also pretty indicative of the kinds of things I do and don’t like. I’ve enjoyed reading him paired with almost anyone as long as the relationship is healthy for both of them, but the literal broTP of Thor & Loki gen is the relationship I care about most.

Fandom: Avatar: Legend of Korra
Asami Sato, Korra (Avatar)
I'd love something set after the show ends - Asami and Korra's continuing adventures (in the Spirit World, or the next big political problem Korra has to deal with, or just a good old Team Avatar-style adventure. I'd also love to see the story of the beginning of their relationship - their first kiss, etc. - or just any little moment where they're together, focusing on their relationship (or friendship, if it's set before the end of S4).

Fandom: Arrow (TV 2012)
Shado (Arrow (TV 2012)), Oliver Queen, Slade Wilson
I'd love any kind of story with the three of them - some kind of fix-it story where things turn out differently, something set on the island, or even something dark during S2 where Shado is just in Slade's head. Gen would be awesome, or I ship them in pretty much any combination - Shado/Oliver/Slade, Shado/Slade, Oliver/Shado, Oliver/Slade (either before she shows up or something tragic and dark after she's gone).
See letter for more details!

Request 3 by Sheeana
Fandom: Leverage
Eliot Spencer, Parker (Leverage), Alec Hardison
I'd love something about the three of them after S5 - a con they pull off, or a con gone wrong, or how Parker and Hardison decide to date Eliot - or just something where the three of them hang out together anytime during the show. Gen would be great, or OT3 fic would be great, or just Parker/Hardison would be great (as long as Eliot is still an important part of their lives).
