lakeeffectgirl | fandom5k 2025: dear author!

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.

Assorted general likes: food as a metaphor for love, hurt/comfort, people being sweet to each other, people taking care of each other, daddykink if you want to go there (even just a little), people being good at their jobs, people buying other people presents (like fancy clothes, that they then help the other person get dressed in), space AUs (sentient spaceships yes please), AUs where people are scientists (marine biologists, Arctic researchers, that sort of thing) or archaeologists.

I am pretty much open to anything, and any rating, so don't feel like you need to write something NC-17 or a genre that's that's not what you are comfortable writing. I am always down for: "oh no is this an accidental soulbond? damn it!", "uhhh, did we get married last night?", "ps, I'm a werewolf/have wings/can shapeshift into a shark" - and what the characters do about it. I'm also a fan of unconventional endings, so that accidental soulbond doesn't have to end happily, or if characters get purposefully divorced after their accidental marriage, that's cool with me.

I like 3x and 5x stories that fit together to make a whole, choose your own adventure, alternating POVs especially if the characters have slightly different ideas about what's happening and that leads to some form of conflict, time loops, and/or complete universe resets.

If you want to write 5k of "uhh what do you mean we're having a baby?" mpreg, I would read it.

If you have an idea you really want to do that you're not sure I'll like, please contact me through the mods to ask! But I am pretty much open to anything outside of hard DNWs.

Fandom-specific prompts/notes/thoughts:

Good Will Hunting

I'm always here for Will/Chuckie, the more Boston the better. When they're young - underage is fine, just not maybe explicit sex unless they're 15/16. Five times they kissed/made out/hooked up over the years, drunk or sober. Maybe something a number of years down the road where Chuckie's got all his shit together (or thinks he does) and something happens to mess it up - injury, divorce, Will showing up again after a couple years of barely speaking - etc.

Maybe Chuckie really thought he'd never see Will again after he left for California, but eventually they get cell phones. Maybe Will rolls back into town with a couple of kids, or Chuckie has a couple of kids.

Tropes: soulbond or soulmarks (romantic/sexual or platonic), a sugar daddy sort of thing with Will buying Chuckie stuff and Chuckie struggling with it a little, marriage of convenience/accidental marriage (romantic/sexual in the end, or platonic life partners)

AU possibility: Will's the scientist at whatever research outpost/fancy lab, Chuckie's the handyman/guy who knows how to baby the equipment into working correctly.

For Sean/Gerry, there's the potential for a "what they got up to in college" story - mixing academics with being young with messing around. Maybe a five times they got together over the years, or maybe they make a "if we're single when we're fifty, let's get married" pact and forget about it as life happens, then one of them brings it up as a joke post-Will and they start seeing more of each other and actually fall in love.

I also nominated Billy/Morgan and Billy/Chuckie - I don't have anything specific idea-wise for them, but if you have a story you've been wanting to try for either of these, I'd love to read it!!

Generation Kill

I am giving you free reign, author, for any of these pairings or a combo of these pairings or really whatever configuration you want to try - anything would be lovely!! I haven't thought long and hard about these guys lately so I don't have pairing-specific scenarios I'd like to see, but I still love them. Truly, anything would be fab!! (If you need a prompt - anything from my likes list would be excellent.)

The only thing I would not be happy with here is badmouthing one pairing/character in favor of another.

MCU

I saw Thunderbolts* earlier this week (and again yesterday) and came away with a lot of Team Feelings, and I think I'd enjoy some sort of Bucky/Yelena or Bucky/Bob (or combo) set between the end of the movie and the post-credits scene. Feel free to work in any of the other team members in a platonic fashion - if you'd like to add in others in a romantic/sexual fashion or you've got a New Avengers idea you're dying to write, I wouldn't be mad at that; I only ask that you not include any sort of Yelena/Alexei romantic/sexual happenings as that flavor of pseudo-incest is not my jam.

Yelena/Kate is a forever favorite, I loved everything about their dynamic in Hawkeye, so anything banter-y, getting together, patching each other up sort of thing would be great. Running into each other post-Tbolts could also be fun, I can just imagine Alexei yelling, "Lena! Why not tell me you have girlfriend!", and embarrassing everyone.
