Hi I’m pinch hitting but didn’t initially sign up. My AO3 handle is respoftw and I’m pretty much exclusively in the Stargate Atlantis fandom these days and would love anything Rodney McKay focussed. I ship him with everyone, lol

ENDGAME SPOILERS are basically all over my request.


AO3 name: Unforgotten

I'm mostly interested in Bucky ships - either MCU or crossovers. Here are the appealing ones I saw in the tagset:

Bucky/Loki
A favorite pairing of mine! I always think Bucky needs someone to take care of, and Loki needs someone who can keep up with him without taking him too seriously. I'm cool with any combo of the characters from any point in the timeline/multiverse - so like 2023!Bucky and 2012!Loki, or prime Bucky and prime Loki, or 2012!Loki and 2012!Bucky...it's all good.

Bucky/Sam
I thought their dynamic in CW was hilarious, but I also really liked the more friendly thing they had going on in Endgame. I'd love to read about them teaming up - maybe to rescue Steve from something?

Bucky/Venom
I love, love, love the idea of them teaming up. Venom is a bit of a loser, and like I said above, Bucky needs someone to take care of. I am so into possession stories, and codependent weirdness stories, and stories about two people being good for each other in a situation you wouldn't expect would be good for anyone. Maybe hydra puts them together, or maybe Bucky goes into space post-Endgame and meets Venom there...any way to get them to meet honestly works.

Bucky/Rilian
They have so much in common, considering they both had their memories taken away, were used against people they cared about, were tied to a chair to help accomplish this...I think they would get along really well due to their shared experiences. Maybe Bucky falls into Narnia while he's the Winter Soldier, or maybe Rilian shows up on Earth as an astral projection sort of like Tirian, or anything else that appeals to you.


General likes: canon-based fic, canon adjacent fic like divergences or adding daemons or soulmates or something to canon, time travel, time loops, mpreg, zombie apocalypses, identity porn, arranged marriage, plotty fic, first meetings fic, dramatic rescues, reunions, fic of any length


DNWs: rape/noncon, permanent noncanonical character death, "Stevie," the Avengers or anyone else apologizing to Loki for being mean to him, helpless Bucky, mundane AUs

Hi, I'm pinch-hitting - my AO3 username is Hokuto, and the main fandom of mine that I know is in the tagset is Marathon; I'm also into Soul Calibur's Voldo/Vercci, Destiny, and Red vs. Blue. I'm 100% fine with Fandom Couch-sized treats, I know the writing time is pretty short at this point!

For Marathon, I will read LITERALLY ANYTHING and love it because it is my tiny heart's fandom, but I especially love Durandal and Durandal/Security Officer! But seriously, LITERALLY ANYTHING. You can check my last Yuletide letter for a bunch more details (plus it has my general likes/DNWs).

For Destiny, I'm also into a wide range of stuff, but some of my favorite characters are Variks the Loyal (ALIEN BOYFRIEND), Rasputin, Petra Venj, Mara Sov, Wei Ning, Ana Bray, Ikora Rey, and Eris Morn, and my favorite ships are Wei Ning/Eriana-3, Petra/Mara, Ikora/Eris, and Ana/Camrin. (I'm also really intrigued by the lore from Last Wish about Eris and Wei Ning working together during the Great Ahamkara Hunt, so I'd be pretty into Eris/&Wei Ning!) There's also more detail about what I love in some of my past Yuletide letters, which should be findable under the "yuletidings" tag on my DW. I am SUPER into all of the Marathon references in Destiny and would adore a crossover if you're familiar with both canons

For Red vs. Blue, I'm super into messed-up Felix/Locus right now, but my actual favorite characters are Tex and Carolina, with Wash a close second; I like pretty much all Carolina and Tex femslash ships (especially Tex/Carolina, Carolina/Kimball, Tex/Sister, and Carolina/Four Seven Niner), Tucker/Wash, Wash/Donut, Wash/Sarge, and Grif/Simmons, plus the aforementioned messed-up Felix/Locus. I also like just gen with early-season-type shenanigans and silliness, or post-season 13 Locus figuring himself out (and feeling terrible about his TERRIBLE LIFE CHOICES).
