the fight is done, the war is won

Hello fellow Candy Hearts Exchange participant!

Thank you very much for deciding to tackle a fanwork for me! I've been a writer for years and exchanging fics/art/etc for any reason on any scale has always been a fannish encounter that holds a special place in my heart.

My main online presences these days are brodinsons  and brodinsons , so feel free to browse those if you want to. Blog tags are self explanatory. I basically abandoned LJ/DW almost a decade ago. :(

I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to content. I guess I'd say anything G-rated and up (fic, art, whichever you choose) is good by me! If you're arriving for a ship-specific assignment, I'm all about the spicy stuff, so please take it all the way up to R or NC-17 or whatever it is in your territory, if the inspiration strikes. Take a look down below for some personal preferences (applicable to visual or written projects) to hopefully point you in the right direction. ♥

Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne

These two are my gold standard. My happy place. My bread and butter. If I had to pick ship content to get stuck on a deserted island with, I'd pick this one three times.

You can do literally anything with them and I'll love it. Beauty & the Beast fantasy AU with a monster-y Bat? Gorgeous. Bruce and Clark discover each other before the Black Zero disaster and there's some actual identity!porn shenanigans? Stellar. Bruce testing the limits of just how much sugar daddy-ing Clark will tolerate post-JL? Delightful. Clark's fully mature Kryptonian heritage revealing less human attributes under a yellow sun and Bruce is suitably fascinated/turned on by his properly alien boyfriend? Yes, please. A whole angst-fest about how Bruce fell in love with a dead man and is hellbent on earning his forgiveness one day, when he's already been forgiven and said "dead" man thinks he's kind of the best thing ever? Absolutely.

The world is your oyster, my friend. I love this old silver fox and his spunky young alien.


Clark Kent/Lois Lane/Bruce Wayne

I...love them. I love them so much. I perceive Clark and Lois as the most chaotic of bisexuals and Bruce as a very repressed gay man, but I also believe a triad between them is possible because they all love each other so much. Potentially with the sexual components going between Clark/Lois and Clark/Bruce while Lois/Bruce is the platonic element tying them all together. I'm very open to interpretations of this relationship because it's great from every angle.


Lois Lane/J'onn J'onzz

This one might sound a bit...odd. Bear with me for a minute.

I imagine it starts out as a very contentious relationship, given how long he kept his identity a secret and that he knowingly “manipulated” her, but she also recognizes that he saw an opportunity to help her start climbing out of the dark and took it. And if it wasn’t for his intervention, she might not have been close enough to the park that day.

J'onn is absolutely fascinating to her; the secretive powerset, how long he’s been on earth, his background of trauma, the fact that he’s a telepath. It's a similar sort of “I’m going to figure you out” response that she had with Clark, but with more of a scientific mind going in. They've been allies for a while, after all, but now she wants the whole story, because she wants to know and trust the man she's been liaising with under the impression he was just military brass, not a whole ass alien from a planet in their own solar system.

And J'onn, of course, has always been nothing but impressed with Lois Lane. Her strength, her tenacity, her willingness to see the job through to the bitter end.

I think this one stuck with me precisely because they already have a pre-existing canon relationship spanning years, but it’s about to undergo a massive paradigm shift now that his identity's been revealed. He’s not human; he’s an alien that’s been here longer than she’s been alive and he’s finally stepping out into the sun that Clark brought to earth. Maybe she can have a hand in helping him take that leap of faith. 


J'onn J'onzz & Bruce Wayne

I'm fascinated by the potential between these two old veterans commiserating with each other. J'onn gives Bruce his alter ego moniker at the end of ZSJL and I can just picture Bruce going down the rabbit hole of figuring out just who and what the Martian Manhunter is. If you're more visually inclined, maybe a shared coffee at the lakehouse? I just have a soft spot for old world-weary blorbos.


Diana Prince & Bruce Wayne

Hell, you could write a whole fic or do a whole AMV based purely off the intro to WW17. Couriering a fancy briefcase via your own security across the Atlantic to deliver a photograph? It's just an amazing gesture. Their trust and developing bond is what cements the foundation for the League itself. I also love Diana teasing him? I'd love to see her teasing him about the gauntlets that Alfred claims "were Master Wayne's idea". Or maybe asking Alfred to make Bruce a pair of gauntlets very similar to her own and a "lasso" in black too, just because she loves throwing him off kilter. On the visual side, I'd love to see them in battle. Diana protecting her favorite squishy mortal human is always great.


Diana Prince/Kate Kane

Does Kate exist in the DCEU? No. Do I want her to? Yes. Ideally I want a butch Jewish lesbian lurking around the nebulous edges of Gotham while her estranged cousin finally gets his head on right and she warily ventures back, only to find him surrounded by a bunch of cool superpowered outcasts. Including a tall ripped Amazonian demigoddess that Kate can't take her eyes off. If you're more inclined towards visuals, I'm all about the flight-capable half lending a hand to the caped bat-themed half~



Marcus Wright/Kyle Reese (Salvation)

Kyle's hero worship in this movie is insane. He thinks Marcus is the coolest badass in the world (despite being a little badass himself). Before the film got re-written pre-release, Marcus actually survives the story's climax. I'd love to see what-if takes based on that. Alternatively, you can use the story arc of the graphic novels spawned from the movie too!


Marcus Wright/John Connor (Salvation)

I've written a grand total of one (1) fic for these two, but it should give you an idea of how I view them, if you wanted to peruse it! I mean, Marcus literally gives John his heart...it practically writes itself. :)


Dani Ramos/Grace Harper (Dark Fate)

This movie was for the lesbians and we were so blessed for that. I'm game for any timeline approach to their relationship. Mid-movie, in the future, anything. Their chemistry is amazing.


Sarah Connor & T-800 (Dark Fate)

I'd love to see this immensely traumatized woman coming to the realization that the face of the source of most of her trauma is actually capable of guilt and the desire to do better. Everyone wanted to see what would happen if a Terminator started thinking for itself and when we finally got it, everybody complained! So typical. I would've loved to have seen more banter/bitching between these two.



Optimus Prime/Megatron (IDW & Prime)

I have a real soft spot for the IDW comics as well as the TFP universe. There's soooooo many routes you could take with IDW. Also, their designs? Absolute chef kiss. Regardless of the universe, you could tell a pre-war story with the miner and the archivist. Or a mid-war rendezvous. Or even a post-war tale. I always say they're the alien robot versions of Prof X and Magneto, so if you're looking for a story angle, feel free to use the X-universe as inspiration as well. Visually, I'd probably prefer the IDW designs to the TFP, but everybody does love insanely spiky Megatron, including me.



Alan Bradley/Kevin Flynn (1982 & Legacy)

Feel free to check out my own fics feat. these two if you want some jumping off points. They both had me going [eyes emoji] in the original, and then Alan is in a whole ass "widower" era when the sequel arrives. He's practically raised Kevin's kid on his own and kept the search for Kevin alive all those years. I just love the unintentional complexities the writers created that are barely touched on within the textual story. I'm all about that subtext!


Lora Baines-Bradley/Alan Bradley/Kevin Flynn (1982)

This is mostly just a spin-off of the above. Kind of similar to the dynamic of the DC trinity, Lora's the connective glue. She dated Kevin before she dated/married Alan, so they're practically ready-made for a poly throuple. She keeps these two high-strung idiots on the ground and has her fun while she's at is.


And that, as we say in this town, is a wrap! Thank you so much again for tackling my pairing/prompt and I can't wait to see the finished product, be it fic or art or something else altogether! ♥

Thank you very much for deciding to wrangle a fanwork (fic, art, whichever you choose) for me! I've been a writer for years now and exchanging fics/art/etc for any reason on any scale has always been a fannish encounter that holds a special place in my heart.

My main online presence these days is Tumblr and/or Twitter, so feel free to browse those if you want to. Blog tags are self explanatory. I basically abandoned LJ/DW almost a decade ago.

I was MCU-centric for quite a while (the urls should give you a bit a hint haha) upon delving into modern online fandom, but I fell off the bandwagon around 2015-ish. I still do love some characters but my heart belongs solely to DC these days. And I've loved my main DC guys and gals for far longer than just that (grew up watching the animated shows) as well, but the DCEU has been quite a ride since it kicked off.

I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to fic and art. I guess I'd say anything pairing-oriented from Teen-rated and up on both ends is good by me! ♥


Pairings I'm Requesting

Arthur Curry/Orm Marius

My DC version of Thorki finally happened! And it is GLORIOUS.

I love them both dearly. I think they've overtaken everyone as my DCEU faves. The respective actors certainly play a part in that.

I've honestly been going hog wild since December all over these two since there's NO CONTENT ANYWHERE and I've had to shell out the big bucks for more commissions in a consecutive 6 month span than I've collected in the last 6 years. I'm parched. I will take ANYTHING. Throne room BDSM. Arthur taking his brother to the Lost Nation. Arthur sharing Atlan's trident with Orm and both of them getting off on it. Orm teaching Arthur how to ride a tylosaur/sea dragon/great white/etc. Orm dressing Arthur up in proper Atlantean finery (makeup included) and both of them getting hot 'n bothered over it. Arthur being unable to avoid comparing Orm's beauty to their mother's and constantly getting distracted by just how damn pretty his little brother is. Both of them fixating on differing (Atlantean for Orm, human for Arthur) parts of each other and getting turned on by it, much to the other's bemusement (xeno kink? :D). SPARRING? Sparring is very good. Could be underwater or up on the cliff or on the beach. Sweaty sexy sparring is very, very good.


Slade Wilson/Bruce Wayne

This one might sound a bit...odd. Especially since there's very little comic history to back it up. But just stick with me for a minute.

DCEU!Bruce has been doing the Batman gig for decades now. By that same card, Slade's been doing his Deathstroke gig for a similar amount of time (though I headcanon him to be older than Bruce in the DCEU). It's kind of like the former-villain-eventually-segues-into-weird-uncle trope, only Slade is definitely still his anti-hero self with his ethically questionable morals and penchant for murdering (bad) people for money. Maybe Bruce lures Slade over to "his side" as he's in the process of putting the League together. Maybe he convinces Slade that there's a threat bigger than any of them headed for earth and they could put the past to bed if they pool their resources to help humanity instead of Slade helping himself. (Slade = Bruce's dirty little secret? Only Bruce is the biggest bottom around and there's nothing very little about Slade /rimshot)

They're old, they're snarky, their wordly philosophies are dichotomous to each other. They might be a little in love after all these years? Who knows. They know. I especially love imagining it as having a heavy flavor of "nobody gets to fuck with/kill the Bat but me" on Slade's side. Also, who wouldn't say no to watching those two silver foxes getting it on?


And that, as we say in this town, is a wrap! Thank you so much again for picking my pairing/prompt and I can't wait to see the finished product, be it fic or art or something else altogether! ♥

/dusts off age-old journal

Well, since this one is the less embarrassing of the two, let's start there! (My main online presence these days is Tumblr, so feel free to browse that if you want to. Tags are self explanatory. I basically abandoned LJ/DW six years ago, which I do feel a bit bad about.)

Thank you very much for deciding to write a fic for me! I've been a writer for a long ass time now and exchanging fanworks for any reason has always been a sort of event that holds a special place in my heart.

That said, I've never participated in Yuletide before, so I'm very uncertain as to how this particular thing goes. (As such, I apologize if this letter is awkward and stilted and unnecessarily brusque.)

I'm pretty easygoing about all the fandoms I requested, but I'll go into a little more detail about my specific mindset for each of them after the likes/dislikes section here:

LIKES:
world building
canon divergence (explained further below)
hurt/comfort
adventurous sex (basically just check the nsfw tag on my blog and you'll get an idea~)
mild bdsm (dom/sub, sensory deprivation, fisting, bondage, etc.)
praise kink
oral fixation kink
domestic snapshots
growing-old-together trope

DISLIKES:
rape/non-con
character death
abuse/excess violence (in situations outside of the canon presented)
kidfic
high school/college/coffee shop/hipster AUs


THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. (2015): Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo

I requested Illya/Napoleon because Illya/Gaby squicks me the hell out for a lot of reasons and that influences my tendency to shy away from the OT3. So, as long as you stay away from that dynamic, you're golden!

I'd definitely prefer a canon-centric story, but if you have a fantastic idea for an AU (preferably not aging them down for high school/college/coffee shop/hipster stuff), then go for it! Action-adventure and espionage is my bag so you really can't go wrong with the universe already provided.

I see Illya as a very intense personality. Driven, loyal, and always experiencing the extremes of emotions. He'll love completely and utterly, or not at all. (I could go on for days about his BPD and the trauma of his early life contributing to his lifelong PTSD/KGB-instilled triggers for his episodes, but we'll save that for another day.) I love it when he's protective of Napoleon, I love it when he's exasperated with Napoleon, I love all of it.

Napoleon is very hollow. He's been bribed and manipulated and lorded over for so long now that he's holding onto his individual autonomy by a very thin thread. And that's what makes him so fixated on presenting the man-about-town persona that we see throughout the film. He dresses well and speaks well because those are ways of clinging to his autonomy that the CIA hasn't yet managed to wrest from him. I love seeing Illya helping him reclaim his autonomy, and gradually helping him fill in all that hollow nothingness that his enforced service left behind.

TL;DR: two broken trained killers finding a kindred spirit in one another and helping each other reclaim what they both lost at the hands of their handlers is my ultimate weakness.


MAN OF STEEL (2013): Jor-El/General Zod

Haha. My favorite old (dead) gay aliens.

There was so much potential! The genetically predispositioned military leader struggling to save his species (and going about it all wrong) while the scion of the Science Guild attempts to do the same. If they'd just combined their efforts, they might've won together.

I'd love a canon-based AU here. Maybe pre-movie, maybe an AU of the movie itself where Jor and Dru survived (Dru-Zod is the general's given name, but if you're writing for this one, you knew that already~). I'd just love to see the upright military-bred soldier slowly learning that there is more to life than giving and taking orders thanks to his heretic of a scientist friend/boyfriend. Maybe he ends up paired with Jor via the High Council's orders instead of Jor being paired with Lara? And is suitably pissed about it since what the hell is he supposed to do with this soft scientist who's never even seen a pulse rifle, let alone handled one. (If you get bonus Lara/Faora in there somehow in the background, I'll probably flip.)


LEGION (2010): Michael/Gabriel

I am all about the angel incest however convoluted it is, lemme tell you. It's been five years and I still can't believe how much homoerotic tension these two managed to stir up.

Collars! Roman-esque armor! Wings that can serve as weapons and shields! This movie was a veritable smorgasbord for my angel kink. I have no real pointers for this one, since I'll literally be happy with anything (so long as it stays within canon). I am supremely partial to Michael gently domming Gabriel after his resurrection and Gabriel wrestling with his shaken faith, so you could take that for a vague prompt and expand on it.


THE HOBBIT RPF: Richard Armitage/Lee Pace

I don't really have many specifics for this one either. I'm one of those people who definitely believes these two are together and happy and healthy, so you can throw anything at me and I'll be happy as a pig in mud.

AUs are alright if there's an idea in your head that just won't pipe down, but I do prefer real world settings. Could be during the Hobbit filming era or after that, maybe when Armitage went up to Canada to film Hannibal, or anything else you deem a viable setting for a good story. :)


And that, as we say in this town, is a wrap! Thank you so much again for writing me a fic (you honestly have no idea how excited I am to read it) and I can't wait to see what sort of yarn you end up spinning. ♥
