Rare Pair Fest 2013
Dear ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
rarepairfest author:
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, and I prefer fics where characters interact with people and do things over introspective character studies. 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 partners, 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.
I've also included a couple of 'wild card' crossover requests, just in case one of them catches your eye - these are, obviously, totally optional, and I'm not expecting you to write them at all, but if you happen to feel like it, then go ahead.
Batgirl (Comics) (Stephanie Brown/Bruce Wayne, Stephanie Brown/Dick Grayson, Stephanie Brown/Nick Gage)
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 think Dick and Steph have a lot in common, and I'd love absolutely anything where they interact (teaming up to fight crime?), especially while Steph is Batgirl. I think this would be a really fun pairing - Dick and Steph tend to be the more lighthearted Batfamily members, and I'd love a fic that reflects that dynamic. Basically, though, Dick/Steph is the (not so) secret pairing of my heart, so anything with them at all is pretty much guaranteed to be great.
I really enjoyed Steph's flirtation with Detective Gage, so if you'd like to write something about that, I would eat that up. I loved how adorable their relationship was, and the way they worked really well as a makeshift partnership whenever they ran into each other on a case, and I also kinda dig judge-y Gordon and the semi-taboo nature of the relationship (BATMAN'S LEGAL, DETECTIVE). The only part I didn't love was the whole love triangle aspect, so not including that would be super great.
WILD CARD CROSSOVER: Stephanie Brown/John Blake (The Dark Knight Rises). 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.
WILD CARD CROSSOVER: Stephanie Brown/Laura Kinney (Marvel 616). I 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.
Timeline-wise, I prefer pre-reboot stories, though if you wanted to include Steph in the New 52, I could be on board with that also.
Teen Titans (Comics) (Rose Wilson/Dick Grayson, Rose Wilson/Kon-El)
Pre-reboot, please! 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 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! (Which is also the way to kill him. Um.)
WILD CARD CROSSOVER: Rose Wilson/Clark Kent (Smallville). 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?
Marvel 616 (Kate Bishop/Clint Barton, Kate Bishop/Noh-Varr, Karolina Dean/Xavin)
I love, love, love the relationship between Clint and Kate, from the first time they actually met to their current partnership in Hawkeye, and more of any of that would be super amazing. I adore pretty much everything about their partnership - I love how much mutual respect there is there, and how upfront they are with each other, and how they tease and challenge and trust one another. Adding makeouts to that would possibly make it even more awesome.
I loved Kate's hookup with Noh-Varr in Young Avengers, and I'd love to read more of that. (The variant cover intrigues me - I would totally read fic about that night.) Does it happen again? Does Kate just want another chance to pilot his spaceship? I also love the hints that he's maybe slightly more into her than she is into him, because that's one of my bulletproof kinks in fiction. I would, however, love it if they kept hooking up, whether as part of a ~relationship or just as a casual fling.
I love Xavin and Karolina a whole lot, and more than anything, I would love the story of How Karolina And Xavin Fell In Love. The first time we see them after leaving Earth, they're already in love and about to get married - I want to see how they got from an intergalactic arranged betrothal to actually falling in love. Bonus points if it includes awesome alien space adventures. I'd also love anything about them during or after the Runaways run, with the rest of the cast or not.
