The Limehouse Golem (2016)Relationships:
- Group: George Flood/John Kildare
Genres: Getting Together, Smut, Mystery/Procedural
Letter: http://carmilla.dreamwidth.org/35009.html
DNW: Scat, noncon, infidelity (consensual nonmonogamy is fine), miserable ending, requested characters breaking up with each other, requested character death (casefic murder victims and similar are fine), modern, Rule 63, or homophobia free world AU.
I love this film so much, for its gothic, brooding atmosphere, the fun bits of period detail and appearances by real life figures, and perhaps more than anything because it gave me two gay leads seemingly just for the hell of it. I really enjoy the spiky, respectful and layered relationship that builds between them. How Flood looks up to Kildare and identifies with him, but at the same time really doesn't want to be where he is in twenty years, and how Kildare mentors Flood and expects the best out of him and *totally misses* all that respect and identification unless it's thrown in his face. I love Flood's solid practicality contrasted with Kildare, who seems both more sensitive and more cerebral. I'm fascinated by how Kildare is clearly so lonely and so badly in need of friends but instinctively pushes away Flood's overtures.
And oh goodness, how much do I love the pub scene? Flood just casually making a little bid for intimacy, and how what he thinks is a harmless joke is clearly deeply painful territory for Kildare. It speaks so much to their differing experiences: how Flood has evidently lived the kind of queer life where he feels safe referring to it provided he picks his audience, whereas Kildare very much Has Not. I'm into every level of "I'm on your side" as a coming out statement; including the level where Flood thinks him coming out ought to make them understand each other but for Kildare it's more complicated than that.
So yes! Any romantic story for them would be wonderful, but I'd particularly love anything that picks up on that contrast between them and shows how they bridge the gap between Flood's openness and Kildare's guardedness and obvious fear of being seen as predatory.
On the other hand, if you just wanted to go ahead and write me some smut about them, that would be awesome too! Seriously, I would devour a PWP about these guys.
I haven't requested it because he's nor really a character per se, but if it's your thing I'd also happily read Kildare/Flood/Flood's boyfriend from the end of the film.
Prompts: first time; Flood setting out to become a bigger part of Kildare's life; is there anything that would get Kildare to make the first move on Flood, rather than vice versa?; any get-the-procedural-partners-together trope (I don't know how you'd do, say, undercover as a couple in this setting but I'd love to see it!); casefic - either another murder/serial killer case or how they work together on something more mundane and low stakes; Kildare and Flood doing really great police work as a pair/general competence porn; Kildare telling Flood what really happened with the Golem, or just opening up to him about anything; what they were up to while Jack the Ripper was happening.
A quick note on period homophobia: I'd prefer homophobia not to be the focus of the story, but I'm fine with it being present. I'm not really interested in Kildare and Flood coming out to all and sundry and telling the homophobes to go fuck themselves, because that's too anachronistic for me, but plenty of gay people in this period managed to have fulfilling (if somewhat constrained) romantic lives, so I don't need them to face a constant stream of abuse in the cause of historical realism either. If you want to focus the story elsewhere and not bring homophobia up, that's cool; if you want to deal with it as part of the setting, that's cool too. The only thing I really don't want is them living in a world that's identical to Victorian England except that homophobia magically doesn't exist.

Death in ParadiseRelationships:
- Group: Richard Poole/Camille Bordey
Genres: Getting Together, Mystery/Procedural, Fix-it fic, Fantasy, AU - Genre Shift, AU - Canon Divergence
Letter: http://carmilla.dreamwidth.org/35009.html
DNW: Scat, noncon, infidelity (consensual nonmonogamy is fine), miserable ending, requested characters breaking up with each other, requested character death (casefic murder victims and similar are fine), Rule 63 AU.
Seeing their scene together in the most recent series did two things for me: it reminded me how much I used to ship them back in the day, and it gave me a sudden and mighty longing for some kind of paranormal-flavoured romance for them.
I'm very into odd couples, especially when They Fight Crime, and Richard and Camille are a really great one. I love their culture clashes, the way their different skills complement each other, and especially the moments when they break through their mutual frustration and manage to connect with each other. I'm also very into the way that of the two, she's the scarily physically competent one.
I'd be super happy to read any kind of a shippy story for them - how might they get together? How would Camille deal with Richard's no-doubt awkward attempts at being in a relationship? How would Richard's natural reserve cope with Camille's openess and confidence in that context? What happens in an AU where he lived and remained on the island, or one where he returned to London and they meet again on a case in Paris?
If you wanted to go a little further afield, I'd also love to read a romance between Camille and ghost!Richard. I mean, obviously the scene where he talks to her on the beach is meant to be metaphorical, but what if you take it literally? Is Richard always popping up to give her advice on her more difficult cases? Is his ghost on St Marie, so she saw him for the first time when she came back, and if so what will she do about it? And when will she notice the longing looks and vague talk about regrets and missed chances he keeps shooting her way?

Lewis (TV)Relationships:
- Group: James Hathaway/Robbie Lewis
Genres: Getting Together, Smut, Mystery/Procedural, AU - Genre Shift, Fantasy, Science Fiction, AU - Canon Divergence
Letter: http://carmilla.dreamwidth.org/35009.html
DNW: Scat, noncon, infidelity (consensual nonmonogamy is fine), miserable ending, requested characters breaking up with each other, requested character death (casefic murder victims and similar are fine), Rule 63 AU.
OK, so, it's fair to say I have a thing for police partners, especially if they have contrasting personalities and skillsets, and maybe an age gap thrown in for good measure. And Lewis and Hathaway are kind of the ne plus ultra of that dynamic for me. Lewis's gruff kindness with Hathaway's snippy social awkwardness! Lewis's down-to-earth common sense with Hathaway's rarified education! Their outward layer of banter and sniping plastered thinly over an endless well of loyalty kink and never-discussed feelings! It's all catnip to me.
I'd love to see a first time story for them, and I am extra up for fannish cliches here. Please bring me all the undercover as a couple, huddling for warmth and unexpected bedsharing. Equally, I could go for something quieter and more real - just them gradually growing closer and feeling their way through what to do about it.
Because I love their dynamic so much, they're also a couple I really like AUs for, so if you have any ideas in that direction feel free to go buckwild. Hathaway's a robot! Lewis is a sorceror! They fight crime IN SPACE(port Oxford)! Time travel, Groundhog Day or Peggy Sue type plots would be very welcome too.
As someone who was a Morse/Lewis shipper before Lewis came out, I'm always happy to see that pairing mentioned in my Lewis/Hathaway fic. I'm into both the version where the Morse/Lewis relationship was pretty good and the one where it was complicated and/or actively damaging for Lewis. Either way, I can see the fallout being really interesting for Lewis/Hathaway, maybe adding a layer of conflict that Hathaway doesn't even know is there. Because of this, I also tend to headcanon Lewis as having been attracted to men and aware of that long before Hathaway came along, whether Morse/Lewis was ever a thing or not. I don't insist that you write him that way if you feel differently! But if you like it, it is something I enjoy seeing.

Genres: Fix-it fic, Getting Together, Fantasy, Smut
Letter: http://carmilla.dreamwidth.org/35009.html
DNW: Scat, noncon, infidelity (consensual nonmonogamy is fine), miserable ending, requested characters breaking up with each other, requested character death (everyone else is fair game!), Rule 63 or mundane/no Pennywise AUs.
So, when I say no requested character death, I am fine with Eddie (and Stan, if he's in the story) being dead at the beginning of the fic. I'd just like that to be a problem that is fixed by the end of it :) (I don't mind Stan staying dead in a Richie/Eddie story, but I'd like him to be not dead or ressurrected in an OT7 story.)
With Richie/Eddie, I am mostly here for the extreme iddiness of the pining-for-someone-for-most-of-your-life trope, but leavened by the characters not being insufferable idiots about it (it's not their fault they never got their shit together and had a conversation! They couldn't remember!). Please give me all the mutual pining, late in life coming out stories and belated-but-no-less-hot-for-that sexual exploration.
With the Losers OT7, I'm just really into their tighter-than-tight bond and the ways that might naturally expand into sex and/or romance. While I'm usually a big fan of poly negotiations, with the Losers I can totally see them all just drifting into random declarations of love, casual physical intimacy and hooking up all over the place, and then coming up for air like, a year in and going 'Should we actually be having conversations about this stuff?' I'm also super into ritual sex and sex magic in this fandom (my problem with the gangbang in the book isn't that it's there, it's how boring and un-weird and rigidly heterosexual it is). Orgies to bring the dead Losers back! Orgies to defeat Pennywise! Orgies because Mike thinks he read somewhere that it might make something cool happen! Make them as awkward or as eldritch as you like. On the other end of the scale I'm also a big fan of Losers-as-seen-through-social-media fics, so the OT7 as seen through the eyes of their bemused Twitter followers would also make me happy.
I have a preference for adults-era fic but I do read the teenage era too, and if you're writing something set then I'm fine with underage sex provided the characters are at least fifteen. I also have a strong preference for Richie being gay rather than bi, although I don't mind Bev being his single exception if you're that way inclined :)

I love, love, love Fairy Tail. I'm current on anime and manga, not on 100 year quest. I would just really love an excellent Gajeel/Levy, Laxus/Mira or Elfman/Ever story, whether it be a job, and adventure, or just pure pure fluff. I'm a huge fan of the Grand Magic Games, Tenrou Island and Battle of Fairy Tail arcs, so those are great places to start.
This is my fandom where there’s a ton of fanfic, but not much of it really does it for me.
I love Gajeel/Levy and their dynamic, and I totally want to see Laxus and Mira get together. I love Pantherlily. I’m really open to anything here with this crew. I’d be cool with an AU of the Grand Magic Games or Battle of Fairy Tail. And feel free to use all three couples, the more the merrier.
And I didn’t request him because I don’t want a story focused on just him, but don’t leave out Pantherlily if you go Levy/Gajeel.
For the mystery/procedural tag, I’d like for it to be part of a job – the crazier the better. Maybe some kind of house party or ball?

Or both.
I really love return to the realm stories - either DM sucks them back in somehow or they choose to go back. I totally ship Eric/Sheila.
Or more of Terri dreaming herself into the Realm...
Pretty much everything above! Terri continually dreaming into the Realm and trying to get word out about the kids stuck in the Realm. I’m generally a fan of the idea that no one has noticed they’re gone yet.

I've been watching a lot of TOS lately (and TAS) and what I would really love is an adventure where the ladies kick some ass. The TAS episode, The Lorelai Signal, where all the men are affected, is not exactly what I'm looking for but along those lines. (Spock can be unaffected, of course.) I'd like the women to take pride of place but get some help from the duo in blue. Maybe some kind of colony emergency? Totally down for an adventure with Number One and TOS crew (feel free to make jokes about Chapel and Number One being similar). Feel free to include Koloth as a baddie.

Anthea & Nell - I think both of these two might have some issues adjusting to London society, and think they would be great friends. Feel free to include Jenny Chawleigh - especially if you need a convenient place to have a house party - or the crew from the Nonesuch.
He-Man/Castaspella - I just like the idea of these two together having an adventure, possibly one that spans both worlds. Or if you go all Etheria, I love how Adam doesn't have to hide and pretend incompetence there. But Casta dealing with Eternia can be fun too.
For the Poirot ones: I'm thinking any of these pairs get together on a trip or at a house party. Someone (I really prefer the ones where the only question is why someone waited so long to off the person) dies and investigations ensue.
House parties and murder, oh my! I’d really love 1930s Nancy with her assertiveness. Or Poirot and Marple coming at a case from their different angles. If you wanted to go with a Cards on the Table plot, that would be interesting.
Also, please feel free to combine any of these pairings. If using Poirot, feel free to include Miss Lemon, Hastings, and the good Inspector Japp. If Jane needs company, Dolly Bantry is a favorite.

Kamo Sr and Mahito are the agegap evil mentor/evil student relationship which I love, and they seem to share a twisted sense of fun. Whether it's mission, twisted intimacies/lessons, whatever -- I really enjoy their alchemy!
I love Itadori and Fushiguro's relationship -- they're protective and sweet, and play off well against each other, and <3 So, have fun however you want, whether in the angsty or soft or smut meaning of "fun".
Todo/Choso are both VERY INTENSE BROTHERS and I'm mostly curious about their dynamics -- whether it'll lead to an apocalypse, and an apocalypse for *who*.
