This is my first year doing this, so I hope I’m getting it right—
People Will Talk (1951)
Characters: Dr. Noah Praetorius, Professor Lionel Barker
“I've known you intimately for 10 years, and I can't even guess what you were up to the day before I met you.” There’s a lot to unpack there. I’d like to see some pre-cannon for these two, maybe including their first meeting (which from Prof. Barker’s statement, must have been around 1941); maybe some backstory for Barker. Slash ok but not required. Other possibilities: Shunderson as observer; post-cannon (possibly with Noah, Lionel and Debra as OT3) also good, but that’s what I usually write for myself in this fandom, so you may wish to explore other avenues. Original movie viewable on YouTube.
Oz – Baum
Characters: Button-Bright
Button-Bright is an Oz character I’ve always had a bit of trouble getting a handle on – likely because he was introduced as a toddler, then I think Baum must have aged him up to about nine or ten and given him his own spin-off series, before bringing him back as an Oz regular. As a toddler he’s a bit irritatingly oblivious—as an older kid he retains something of his initial stolidity, but it’s become less a matter of “too ignorant to panic” and more “has realized a wait-and-see approach works for him. Looking at him again, he could be read as non-NT – and as the main thing I like about Oz is the theme of integration, characters with fairly different needs making allowances for each other (i.e. the “meat people” need food and sleep, but tend to have better motor skills than the animated-by-magic people like the Scarecrow or the Patchwork Girl), I’d like to see a fic that takes that approach.
The Moonstone – Wilkie Collins
Characters: Mr. Candy, Ezra Jennings, Rachel Verinder
These two are pretty much made for hurt/comfort, but would also enjoy seeing casefic (possibly including Mr. Candy having to be the “face” of the practice because of prejudice against Jennings); backstory (just what was Jennings accused of anyway?); post-cannon angst with Candy mourning Jennings; competent!Candy who is way less frivolous than he seems on the surface. ETA -- I would also be good with Ezra Jennings/Rachel Verinder or Rachel Verinder/Mr. Candy friendship.
General likes, in no order: Mild hurt-comfort; cuddling and fluff; period-specific details; friendship; small, reserved gestures of affection (kissing or touching hands, foreheads, etc.); fat appreciation (WG or feederism not so much); ghosts or supernatural; cozy atmosphere; found family; casefic or plotfic; low-key immortals or demi-mortals passing for human. Crossovers welcome. AUs ok, though would prefer canon.
Do Not Wants: ABO (it just makes no biological sense to me); gore; vore; non-con or dub-con; underage (although age difference between characters who are both definitely adults is ok); fusions.
ETA -- removed Hilda the plus-size pinup -- I think I'd like to offer to write for that fandom.
