Shipswap 2013

Dear [livejournal.com profile] shipswap creator:

Thank you so much for making me something! I'm sure I'll love whatever you end up creating, but in general: I love ensemble fics, banter, makeouts, unresolved (and resolved) sexual tension, romantic comedy, action/adventure, wacky hijinks, humour, crack, PWPs, apocafic, and ridiculous AUs. I'm not super into angst. I really, really, love tropes and clichés, and totally ridiculous, over the top plots, the more shameless the better. I love first times, and secret relationships, and casual hookups, and ex-girlfriends and boyfriends, and rekindling old relationships. I love people being in love without having to say it, and people who are obviously in love but maybe don't realise it, and ridiculously overblown romantic gestures where one person completely embarrasses themselves, and small gestures that mean a whole lot more than they seem to. Most of all, I love characters who are genuinely really into each other. I'm happy to read any rating, and smut is welcome but absolutely not necessary.


DCU - Comicverse (Bruce Wayne/Stephanie Brown, Dick Grayson/Stephanie Brown, Dick Grayson/Rose Wilson, Kon-El/Rose Wilson)

I love all of these ships a whole lot, and pretty much anything you could do with them would be amazing. I both love and hate Steph's relationship with Bruce in canon; I'm endlessly frustrated by all the times he implies or outright tells her she isn't good enough to be a superhero, so if you could not focus on that, that would be amazing. That said I adore their team-ups, from Steph's time as Spoiler to Robin to Batgirl (Batgirl!Steph is my favourite, but I'd love something set during her time as Robin, too). I love the way Steph bring a bit of much-needed levity, and the way Batman actively seeks that out and appreciates that in her. I would also totally be on board with a dirtybadwrong d/s approach, ngl.

I love Dick's relationship with Rose in canon, particularly during the Renegade arc of Nightwing. I'd love to see more set during that time, or reuniting later on. I love Dick training her, and helping her to be a good person, and most of all teaching her that somebody does care for her, and I love Rose being snarky and full of attitude and perving on him shamelessly. I also think Dick and Steph have a lot in common, and I think they could be a lot of fun together, so I'd love absolutely anything where they interact (teaming up to fight crime?), especially while Steph is Batgirl.

I really enjoyed the relationship between Rose and Kon, particularly during the end run of Teen Titans, and I'm disappointed that we never got to see the progression of that relationship. I'd love to see any continuation of that - Rose in a towel! Rose being provocative and Conner being embarrassed! Rose literally having his heart!

Timeline-wise, I prefer pre-reboot stories, though if you wanted to include Steph in the New 52 or make Rose her awesome, badass self, I could be on board with that also.


Once Upon a Time (Aurora/Mulan)

I fell in love with these two way before I ever saw them on the show, but have now caught up, and was definitely not disappointed (except at how little screen time they've had). Loyalty kink? Check. Femslashy princess crossover? Badass lady warrior? Quests? Obsession with each others' safety? Mulan literally entering Aurora while having her heart in her hands? Check, check, check, check, and check! I'd love to see absolutely anything between them, with bonus points for having them go on awesome adventures (whether that's going to save Phillip or something else, though I'd be fine with handwaving him or just mentioning him as little as possible); I'd also be totally on board with a canon-based AU, though I do love this particular interpretation of the characters, so I'd prefer not to have a total AU.


Doom (John Grimm/Samantha Grimm)

I love this move a whole lot, and ship these two even more, so if you share either of those opinions, I already think you're awesome. I'd love anything set before, during, or after the movie; I'm not sure there's a lot of room for missing scenes, but I'm totally willing to jump on board and handwave whatever needs handwaving if you decide to go that route. I also really enjoy pre-movie fics, and even more so anything set post-movie - what happens to them after Olduvai? Where do they go? Are they still in danger? Do they try to go back to their normal lives? Are they on the run? Do they ever have to go back to Mars/fight more monsters/have other adventures? Or if you just wanted to write some good old-fashioned PWP, I'm down with that, too.


Big Time Rush (Kendall Knight/Lucy Stone, Logan Mitchell/Camille Roberts)

I love these two relationships, and anything featuring one or both of them would totally make my day. I adore the relationship between Logan and Camille, from Camille's crazy method acting to them being amazing and happy together to their whole 'we're broken up but still make out literally all the time' thing. (Actually, that last one was totally my favourite.) And I love the way Lucy played against Kendall from pretty much the moment she showed up; the way she challenges and fights and sparks with him, and the way they gradually come together.

I'd love anything set at pretty much any time in canon for either of these; I'm not totally caught up on season three, but I really dislike love triangles, so if you could avoid those, that would be great. Anything from dating to casual hook-ups to full-blown relationships would be fantastic, and I adore the entire ensemble, so including any of the other characters would be amazing. And ridiculous shenanigans of any type are always A+++.


Crossovers - DC Comics, The Dark Knight Rises, Marvel 616, Smallville (John Blake/Stephanie Brown, Laura Kinney/Stephanie Brown, Clark Kent/Rose Wilson)

I came out of The Dark Knight Rises really wanting Blake and Steph to meet post-movie. Maybe she's out doing her Spoiler thing, he's newly Batman-ing, and they run into each other? One of them decides there should be a Batgirl? A villain calling himself the Cluemaster catches Blake's eye? They meet in pretty much any other way possible? I'm completely open to any possibility, I'd just be really interested in seeing them interact.

I also think Steph and X-23 would be really interesting together - Steph does have experience dealing with girls who were raised to be perfect assassins, after all. I love Steph and Laura both; I loved watching Laura grow and change in her own series, even when it was challenging, and I think Steph could bring out the best in her. I'd love to see them together in any way - having adventures, hooking up, hanging out, fighting crime, whatever.

I'd love to see Rose interact with Clark for a lot of the same reasons I enjoyed her relationship with Conner in the comics; I think she'd definitely challenge him, but it would be a lot of fun. Plus, with the number of comics characters we eventually got to see on Smallville (including Slade), I'm disappointed we never got to see Rose - fix that for me?
