Rare Pair Fest 2014
Dear ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
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 few 'wild card' crossover requests, just in case one of them catches your eye - these are TOTALLY OPTIONAL, and I'm not expecting you to write them at all, but if you happen to feel like it, then go ahead.
My username is Zhailei on AO3. My official requests are for fic, but I'm happy to receive art treats if that's your jam.
Batgirl (Comics) (Stephanie Brown/Bruce Wayne, 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, but 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 or Spoiler, too.) I love the way Steph brings 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, because there are never enough of those.
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. 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.
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?
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 (or future!fic) for either of these (as far as Kendall/Lucy goes in later seasons, handwaving is a perfectly acceptable response). 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+++.
Stargate SG-1 (Daniel Jackson/Satterfield, Vala Mal Doran/Jonas Quinn, Vala Mal Doran/Teal,c)
Proving Ground is my favourite SG-1 episode, and Daniel/Satterfield is the pairing probably no-one ships but me. Her obvious crush was just SUPER cute, and I'd give anything to see her again (or expand on what we already saw), especially if you somehow managed to warp canon so that the training team from that episode ended up staying together. I'd also love anything else based on that episode - maybe an AU where something really does go wrong after all? Or maybe Satterfield helps out in future training exercises?
I'd also love to see Jonas and Vala meet, especially if it involves Alien Planet AdventuresTM. Or if it manages to come up with a better fate for Jonas than the vaguely unresolved 'his planet was conquered by the Ori, whatever' we got in canon. (Or if the Thanos that once ruled Langara was the one from Marvel comics, if you happen to be familiar with them.)
I really loved what we saw of Teal'c and Vala's relationship in canon - cheating at basketball! Hugs! Climbing him like a tree! I could stand to read way more of that, jsyk. I think Vala manages to bring out a lighter side of Teal'c than we often got to see, and I'd love to see more of that. SG-1 team adventures are more than welcome here!
WILD CARD CROSSOVER: Vala Mal Doran/Ronon Dex (Stargate Atlantis). While these shows crossed over a fair bit, I don't think Ronon and Vala ever had a chance to interact. WHICH IS A TRAVESTY, HONESTLY. The two of them have a lot in common and I think they'd be super interesting together, whether it's having adventures on an alien planet or hanging out in Atlantis or on Earth. (And either way, they'd probably find a way to blow something up, right?)
Battlestar Galactica (Sharon "Boomer" Valerii/Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo, Sharon "Boomer" Valerii/Lee Adama)
Boomer!! My poor baby who got royally screwed by canon. I ship her with pretty much everyone, especially pre-Cylon reveal craziness, and I'd particularly love fic set in the earlier days of canon. As far as Crashdown goes, I'm 100% convinced he had a massive crush on her, and I'd love to see that play out somehow - hookups (secret or not), shared missions, an AU where Crashdown doesn't die, anything!
I also really enjoyed what appeared to be the initial crush Boomer had on Lee, and their interactions throughout the first season. I'd love, love to see them hooking up sometime (times?) in that period, however it happens. A rare celebration on board Galactica? Missions? Combat? Training? Random hookups because they're all probably going to die so why not? It's all very, very good.
