Pinch Hit #20
Request 1 by mementomoe
Voltron: Legendary Defender
Group: Allura/Pidge | Katie Holt, Allura (Voltron: Legendary Defender), Pidge (Voltron Legendary Defender)
Action/Adventure, Angst, AU - Canon Divergence, AU - SciFi / Fantasy Elements, Canon Style Plot, Character Development, Darkfic, Fluff, Getting Together, Smut
Allura/Pidge: I seriously just want them to be together. One idea that came to my head, though it’s probably more for a scene, is language lessons. Pidge has shown she wants to learn Altean, and she certainly has someone that she can ask where things won’t get dangerous if she holds the trill for half a milli-tick too long. It can end up going funny or maybe kinda sexy after a while, with Allura teaching her to say dirty things. Pidge would probably figure it out after a few times, and do something silly to make her laugh.
Maybe there's some kind of mission they need to go on together for... reasons, and they start talking more about the shared issues they have and get together that way.
Alternately, maybe a Space Pirate-ish AU where Allura and Coran wake up a few years before canon on their own. They end up meeting the others when the Blue Lion awakens, and Allura press-gangs them into her crew. From there, it’s a battle of wills and wits between these two women.
(Since some of these involve smut, I'd like to make it clear that we can just treat Pidge as "of age" while still looking similar, that would be nice.)
Allura: She has a sad backstory, and in S2, she's shown to have a vehement discrimination against Galra. Did this exist even before the war? Was she wary of Zarkon just for his species? Maybe she indirectly started the war with some slight against Zarkon that she wasn't even aware of.
Pidge: Maybe a funny story about her father taking the family camping and it all goes wrong for her, pushing her even more into being a shut-in. Or perhaps some kind of solo mission she has at some point.

The Brothers Sinister Series - Courtney Milan
Jane Fairfield (The Brothers Sinister Series), Genevive Johnson (The Brothers Sinister Series), Frederica Marshall (The Brothers Sinister Series), Amanda Ellisford (The Brothers Sinister Series)
Canon Style Plot, Character Development, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Interpersonal Drama
Amanda Ellisford - I’d love some stories about the time between The Countess Conspiracy and The Suffragette Scandal. We know she and Free bonded while her aunt was jailed, and they stayed friends and co-workers for a long time, but I’d love some stories about how she keeps shying away from society life.
Frederica Marshall - I’d love some adventures of her dealing with her life at Cambridge, along with setting up her Newspaper. It definitely took a lot of work to get all of that. Certainly there was only so much of her brother’s influence she could use.
Genevieve Johnson - I’d love something about her coming into her own after The Heiress Effect. I want to learn how she went from thinking she was just repulsed by sex to when she learned, nope, it’s ladies. I kind headcanon that she had a huge crush on Jane after they put their cards on the table, but realized pretty quickly Jane was not into ladies, but still let herself love and support Jane from afar.
Jane Fairfield - I would love stories of her building her hospital and charity, helping her help her husband get a seat in the House of Commons, or something light like that. However, also stories about her past and disastrous reading of the parties due to how she grew up sheltered.

Namesake (Webcomic)
Group: Alice Purcell/Selva Chopper, Selva Chopper (Namesake (Webcomic)), Group: Alice Purcell & Selva Chopper, Alice Purcell (Namesake (Webcomic))
Action/Adventure, Canon Style Plot, Established Relationship, Fluff, Getting Together, Smut
Alice Purcell - I’d love stories of Alice from before the story. Some sort of adventure would be amazing. Whether with other characters in Calliope that we know or new ones of your own creation. I’d love to see what some kinds of Namesakes can be seen.
Selva Chopper - We get a few glimpses into her life before Emma showed up, and I’d love to see more. What was it like growing up in Oz, especially since the Dorothies are the only ones who seem to even age on the inside, yet you’re allowed to grow up. Sure, Anlise and Hercilia both also grew up, but they and her brother are the only ones she know that also experience all this. Perhaps she had friends, but they were kept the same age, yet she changes. Kind of a reverse-vampire situation, having to make new friends all the time because she gets older and wiser, yet her friends don’t. It doesn’t help that her grandfather is the Tin Woodsman. Having a famous family and extended family must have a lot of pressure.
Alice Purcell/Selva Chopper
Alice Purcell & Selva Chopper - So I put these two together, because my ideas can be Gen or Romantic. Maybe some adventure with the two of them around Calliope during the time skip, with maybe some rogue artefact they weren’t expecting, or a date gone wrong. Or maybe things can get a bit smutty

Original Work
Group: Pirate/Pirate, Group: Female 40s Private Eye/Female Glamorous Wartime Singer, Group: Court Mage/Royal Bodyguard, Group: Crossdressing Regency Lady/Regency Lady
Action/Adventure, Humor, Smut
Pirate/Pirate - For this, I think it would be a lot of fun to do something with maybe pirate enemies/rivals-to-lovers plot, or maybe two who are on a ship dealing with a captain who... may not be fun.
For this, I have a lot of Pirate-themed requests. In general, I’m not opposed to the fact that Pirates are criminals and likely do kill and plunder a lot, but I would like it toned down some. (Kinda-sorta Pirates of the Caribbean level, or maybe a bit darker.)
Group: Female 40s Private Eye/Female Glamourous Wartime Singer - I’d love for the Singer to show up because she thinks someone is setting her up, or maybe the Private Eye ended up thinking she was doing something and discovering she didn’t. Maybe the singer isn’t that clean, but just happens to be innocent this time around.
Group: Court Mage/Royal Bodyguard - Maybe this could be rivals/enemies-to-lovers. Like the Court Mage had the job for some time, but dislikes a current heir or spouse of the head, and wants to try and discretely fix the problem. Maybe the Royal Bodyguard agrees, but puts honor and duty before themself.
Or maybe it’s the other way around, the bodyguard’s boss wants the Court Mage gone, and when the Bodyguard tries to do everything, they fall in love and want to fight back.
While I’d love for both of them to be female, I’m fine with any combination of sexes for the two of them.
Group: Crossdressing Regency Lady/Regency Lady - I once kinda wrote something like this, though it wasn’t great, but I’d love to know why the Crossdressing Regency Lady does so. Is the the sole child of her father, and there was so much trouble getting her, he just tried to lie to keep things close and not give the title over to his second cousin twice removed who has no sense? Or maybe it’s a fun game. Does the non-crossdressing woman know? Or would she be surprised when that Rougish “Boy” she likes turns out to be a lady?

Young Justice (Cartoon)
M'Gann M'orzz (Young Justice (Cartoon)), Group: Artemis Crock/Wally West
Action/Adventure, AU - Genre Shift, Character Development, Established Relationship, Fluff, Interpersonal Drama, Smut
M’gann M’orzz - Okay, I seriously love her character arc in season 2. We start off with this version of her that’s a bit more willing than she should be to go into people’s minds and break them. Her arc in it was learning why it wasn’t acceptable. I really want to see what pushed her over the edge into thinking it was a necessary evil to do this. Was she aware that she was sliding? How much of her feelings about how “Only to bad people” was a justification to herself.
Artemis Crock/Wally West - Ah, these are my power couple of the series. One thing I’d love is a kind of silly story about mishaps on why exactly Wally kept forgetting Valentine’s Day for four years in a row, or maybe why they didn’t get together until that day. They had a pretty big kiss at the end of “Auld Acquaintance.” Maybe something dealing with fear, doubts, and maybe clearing the air beyond the basic version Artemis gave in “Usual Suspects.” Maybe there was some crazy hijinks of some sort. It would always be fun to see this. Also, I think these two would lend themselves well to a pirate AU, where Artemis takes Wally captive, and from there, it’s this slow burn. It can work both with and without powers in my head. Though please don't write a story bringing Wally back. I've had my fill of those, and would like something focusing on other parts of their time together.
