Candy Hearts 2024!
Jan. 2nd, 2024 09:23 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
DNWs: noncon/dubcon/rape, A/B/O, blood or bathroom kinks, extreme pain/torture (mild pain in hurt-comfort scenarios is OK), medical kinks that involve breaking the skin (a gentle 'playing doctor' kind of medical kink is OK), body horror, high school/college AUs, humiliation/degradation, violence beyond the canon-typical, graphic descriptions of/focus on pain, unrequested parent/child incest.
(Basically, if the story's official focus is someone getting seriously hurt/injured/caused pain in a way where they need on-screen professional medical care and not a simple first aid kit? I don't want those sorts of things.)
Likes: soft & gentle caretaking situations, food as a metaphor for love, that extra thrill of "we probably shouldn't do this… but we're doing it anyway", friends with benefits, soulmates/soulbonds, wingfic & wing-grooming, characters being soft - and/or weird - about each other, three times/five times fics, mpreg, time loops/Groundhog Day scenarios, sharing a bed, comfort outweighing the hurt, fluff, gardening, home improvement/home redecorating/going to IKEA.
100% PLEASE don't feel like you need to follow any of my thoughts below or write anything beyond the minimum word count. I have read and loved many single-scene pieces that are just things like the characters being soft with each other, making dinner together, or cuddling on a sofa while they watch a movie.
A few art likes: chibi style characters, art deco flourishes, or tarot variations.
Fandom specific notes:
Mission: Impossible movies RPF: Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie, Heather McQuarrie
I would read anything, set any time, for these three in whatever combination; I love them so much.
Prompts if you need them: fancy dates, fancy presents, Chris and/or Heather deciding they want to be the ones to send fancy presents and Tom's baffled by it, vacations as a metaphor for love, getting threesome married in Hawaii, Heather wearing fancy dresses/Heather taking off fancy dresses, five times someone said "I love you", MI:DR Australia press trip and the red carpet kisses, Tom/McQ friends with benefits while scouting/filming.
Specific DNW: any mention of Scientology.

Air (2023):
I am mostly here for Rob/Sonny (Sonny gets him a birthday cupcake!!! THAT HUG!!) of any sort - celebration hookup turns into more, or working late on another campaign leads to feelings confession, or they start hanging out after work and eventually realize they're dating - but I would also enjoy Sonny/Phil, as people who have clearly known each other a long time and know each others' tells and can call each other out on their bullshit. Maybe something in the earlier days of Nike, or post-movie celebrations.

Good Will Hunting RPF: Matt Damon/Ben Affleck
I suppose this is also Air RPF, 😃. They have been my celebrity RPF OTP for more than half my life now.
Feel free to either include or ignore any romantic partners they may have had whenever your idea is set. (I do love that Ben and Jennifer Lopez got back together after all those years, if real-life soulmates are a thing I think they might be it.)
Possible prompts: teenage BFFs practicing kissing, the whole Matt going to pick Ben up from Vermont episode, Good Will Hunting promo/awards season being overwhelming and the only familiar thing they have in that whirlwind is each other.
AUs are also great if you want to pretend real life doesn't exist for these dudes, and make them cowboys or forensic investigators or time-travelers.
Underage is fine as long as they're teens.

Crimson Peak
Interested in any of these pairings or any combination of these pairings, with or without haunted house things. A modern AU maybe if you're interested in writing one, Edith/either Sharpe as a ghost - one or both of them is haunting her (or her and Alan together) but not in a terrifying way (maybe more in a "these ghosts have followed me around but they've grown as people somehow in death so we mostly get along" way), or Lucille being the one to woo Edith.
*
Indiana Jones movies, Indy/Helena
I can't believe my main takeaway from Dial of Destiny was that I needed Helena to bang that old man. (Then again, on brand.) Potential ideas: a non-Marian ending to the movie, or both Indy and Helena stay in 212 BC, or one or both of them figures out how to make the dial go somewhere/sometime else entirely and maybe Adult Helena goes to the 1920's to get with Hot Young Indy. I feel like time travel shenanigans are baked into this movie's dumb plot.
*
Die Hard movies, McClane/Farrell
It's been done before but I do love the "Matt doesn't have shit after the end of the movie so John takes care of him" trope - giving him a place to stay, or marrying him for health insurance, or even just driving him around to physical therapy and/or doctor's appointments - and then they fall in love. The everyday and mundane works for me here - one of them is doing the other's laundry and thinks, "Oh fuck, I love him," that sort of thing.
I would love wingfic or some other even more ridiculous trope for these two, like they have "oh shit we survived this" sex (or "oh shit we're going to die" sex) sometime during/immediately after the movie and then Matt ends up pregnant.
An AU where John is Matt's sworn protector or official bodyguard could also be fun.

The Exorcist, Tomas/Marcus
I just watched the first season of this show over the holidays, and wow their faces were very close so very often! I think I would enjoy Tomas having more of the angst about falling in love with Marcus (than vice-versa), religious imagery, pining that's eventually requited or semi-requited, more of them being in each other's visions/dreams, road trip tropes such as only one bed.
I haven't watched the second season yet but am planning on it - I've read most of those spoilers so no need to avoid using S2 stuff if it works with what you'd like to write, or if you want to send them in an entirely different direction after S1 ends, that's also welcome!
