My Requests:
(all requests are for fanfiction)
Jesus "Soos" Alzamirano Ramirez & Wendy Corduroy & Stanley Pines: I'd love anything pre-canon about these three working together at the Mystery Shack and dealing with life in Gravity Falls, maybe with some found-family feels. Or show me what happened when Stan dragged Soos and Wendy along on one of his yearly road trips to vandalize the other Oregon tourist traps. Or maybe the three of them keep roping each other into Summerween shenanigans that progressively escalate over the years. Or give missing scenes from during canon with the three of them going on some adventure together that needs to be kept secret from Dipper and Mabel, due to it being supernatural in nature, criminal, or both. Maybe they have to fight off a weird infestation of something after a load of off-brand jelly beans turns out to be monster eggs. Or maybe Stan leads them on a heist because it seemed like a good idea at the time. Or give me post-canon adventures when everyone is older and wiser but still failing to stay out of trouble.
Mabel Pines & Grunkle Stan | Stanley "Stanford" Pines: Anything with grunkle & niece bonding time, whether they're being good influences on each other, or bad influences, or a little bit of both! Does Stan teach Mabel how to do something weird but useful, or does Mabel teach Stan? Do they get involved in time travel shenanigans? Do they work together to pull a prank on one or both of their respective siblings? Do they get into petty arguments over differing philosophies on the subject of how to deal with accidental baby mythological creature acquisition while an adorable monster wreaks havoc in the background? Do they team up to earn/win/steal a million dollars? Does a quest to replenish Stan's fireworks supply somehow turn into one of them needing to save the other from a shotgun wedding?
Candy Chiu & Grenda & Mabel Pines & Wendy Corduroy: I would love to see anything about these four interacting with each other, either set during the series or post-canon. Does Wendy ever need to protect the younger girls from anything, or do they ever need to protect her? Do they go on another adventure together? Are there any long term repercussions from their fight with the unicorns? Do they ever pool their resources/talents and try to start some kind of a business together and, if so, would it be a success or a failure? Do they just hang out and talk about life? What kind of movies would they pick for movie night? What kind of scary stories would they tell each other around a campfire?
Do Not Want: incest, rape/non-con, scat/watersports, graphic underage sex, omegaverse, modern/mundane AUs
(all requests are for fanfiction)
Greir/Navaan: I really loved the interaction these two had when they needed to team up against the Fun God and how their contrasting styles somehow managed to combine to get results, and I would love to see more of that. Maybe the lesbian pirates steal something Greir was hired to guard and only Navaan can help her get it back, possibly with undercover-as-a-couple shenanigans that turn into something real. Or maybe Navaan is the one who steals the thing from Greir just because she wants to see what Greir will do to get it back. Or maybe Navaan needs Greir's help to escape villagers who are angry about the results of her fake doctor business. Or maybe instead of the usual fuck-or-die trope, Greir finds herself stuck in a have-fun-or-die situation and only Navaan has a chance of getting her to crack a smile. Or just give me lots of chasing and fighting and sexual tension that gets resolved with acrobatic kissing and inappropriate use of fake death pellets. Or Greir could introduce Navaan to the Snow Queen for some reason that made sense at the time but now seems like it may have been a really bad idea because Navaan has broken out her fruit viking seduction costume and there are frozen bananas everywhere. Or whatever else you can think of.
Do Not Want: incest, rape/non-con, scat/watersports, graphic underage sex, omegaverse, modern/mundane AUs
(all requests are for fanfiction)
Linda Martin (Lucifer TV) & Doc Holliday (Wynonna Earp TV): I'd love to see Doc get some therapy from Linda. Maybe Nedley looks her up and sends her Doc's way, or maybe her reputation in the supernatural community is growing and Doc finds about her through a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend kind of a situation. Would Doc be insulted or relieved to discover that he isn't the oldest or most famous patient she has had? Or maybe Doc ends up in Los Angeles somehow and Linda needs to step in and help when he gets caught up in a different sort of supernatural activity than the kind he's used to. Or maybe Linda visits Purgatory for whatever reason and a certain mustached bar owner ends up listening to her tales of woe instead of the other way around.
Mabel Pines (Gravity Falls) & The Rowdy 3 (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency TV): Okay, so I just feel like Mabel and the Rowdy 3 (feel free to include Amanda and/or the Beast among their number, or not, as you see fit) would get along really well together, especially when Mabel is in one of her "I'm the god of destruction" moods, and I'd love to see a story to that effect. Maybe the Rowdy 3 were the vampires Mabel mentioned meeting in The Deep End. Or maybe the Rowdy 3 visit the Mystery Shack because they're bored and by the end Mabel had not only somehow distracted them from smashing the place but also gotten them to promise to be her pen-pals for life. Or maybe Blackwing captures Mabel because they want to study The Power Of Mabel and she and the Rowdy 3 team up to escape government custody together.
Mabel Pines (Gravity Falls) & Waverly Earp (Wynonna Earp TV): These two both have sweet, bubbly exteriors camouflaging a great willingness to do violence against those they see as having wronged them, so what would happen when they met? Does Waverly end up in Gravity Falls while researching something that might help break the Earp curse, or does Mabel end up in Purgatory while investigating the supernatural happenings there? Does Waverly teach Mabel how to use a shotgun? Does Mabel let Waverly play with the grappling hook? Do they leave a glitter-covered trail of unconscious or dead monsters in their wake or just punch some random human jerks? What kind of divinely horrific cocktail could be made using Mabel Juice and bubblegum sake, and what would it do to whoever drank it? Is Mabel going to end up getting herself banned from Canada or recruited by Black Badge?
Oberon/Titania (both from Midsummer Night's Dream) & John Fallstaff (Merry Wives of Windsor) - or - Oberon/Titania (both from Midsummer Night's Dream)/John Fallstaff (Merry Wives of Windsor):
Stanley Pines (Gravity Falls) & Grace d'Argento (Blood Drive): They both drive classic cars, own knuckledusters and 8-ball themed accessories, have gruff exteriors, and prefer to solve their problems with violence and theft. They're both protective of family but have complicated sibling relationships. They both live in worlds where cloning, robots, mad science, time travel, and people barfing rainbows are things that happen, and they've both pushed loved ones through portals and punched top hat-wearing inhuman sadists who like to throw parties populated by violent weirdos. I really want to see these two meet and notice their similarities, however you choose to make it happen. Maybe Grace visits Gravity Falls either before or after the events of Blood Drive. Maybe Stan gets the portal semi-functional in 1999 and accidentally saves Grace (and Karma?) from Heart Tower while trying to locate Ford. Or maybe twenty-something Stan passes through teenage Grace's hometown during his ten years on the road, and whatever trouble they get up to together leads to him getting banned from Kansas. Or whatever other scenario you can think of.
Susan Pevensie (Narnia)/Ahkmenrah (Night at the Museum): They're both former monarchs whose kingdoms are gone and whose existences have been shaped by gods and magic, and Ahkmenrah was in England during the right time period to meet Susan after the war. How does Susan feel about discovering magic in Spare Oom? How does she specifically react to the tablet's resurrection, considering the loss of her family? How does Ahkmenrah react to learning about other magics outside his own experience? If you want to explore religious differences, please don't have one side be always right while the other is always wrong. I just want these two meeting and making each other happy, whether it's short-term or long-term.
Kath Collingswood (Kraken)/Peter Grant (Rivers of London): Peter is the cop who stumbled into magic use, while Kath is the magic user who happened to end up as a cop. Together they're a study in contrasts and similarities. I would love to see them alternate between getting squeefully scientific about each other's magic techniques and clashing over their policing styles. Would Kath hate the fact that experience has left Peter immune to her glamour/knack for controlling people, or would she be relieved to know that he definitely got together with her of his own free will? Casefic would be awesome, but three hundred words of the two of them discussing ways to combine knacking with Newtonian magic would be just as good. Or they could go on a date followed by an exploration of magic as applied to an enjoyable sex life.
Do Not Want: incest, rape/non-con, scat/watersports, graphic underage sex, omegaverse, modern/mundane AUs
(all requests are for fanfiction)
Amanda Wickwire/Crystal Hawks:
Comet & Dixie Cousins:
Jenny Taylor/John Bly:
Pete Hutter/Aaron Viva: I love how these two bring out the silliness in each other (as demonstrated by the dueling air banjos) and would love to see anything more about them, either in a missing scene from "High Treason 1 & 2" or futurefic. Does Pete try to make a fresh start with Aaron post-canon, or does he go back to his old ways and maybe convince Aaron to join him? How does Aaron reconcile his job as a lawman with having a relationship with someone with as much a criminal history as Pete does? Do Pete and Aaron talk Prof. Wickwire into inventing the microphone and/or electric guitar? Or maybe there's some h/c after whatever Pete's latest injury happens to be? For these two I would totally be up for some erotic touching of Pete's Piece and other gun-kink if you wanted to go there, but it is not in any way required.
Rita Avnet/Dianna Grayson:
Whip Morgan & Pete Hutter & Aaron Viva:
Amanda Wickwire & Albert Wickwire: Amanda seemed to be a combination of assistant and caretaker to her dad in the pilot episode, and then she vanished, never to be mentioned in the show again while Albert was next seen traveling the country alone and claiming to have sworn off all women. What the heck happened there? Was there some kind of acrimonious split between father and daughter, and if so, why? Do they ever reconnect, and if so, under what kind of circumstances? Or did they part amicably (maybe Amanda only helps her father during summers and goes to school or something the rest of the year?) and Albert's complaints about women were unrelated? How did they end up living/working in Sutter's Creek, which seems to have been a pretty terrible place for a while by the time of the pilot episode? What other projects have they worked on together besides the rocket?
