iomixitDear Fandom 5k Author,
Thanks for dropping by! This has become one of the highlights of my exchange-related year and I hope you enjoy yourself! I’m asuralucier on Ao3, if you’d like know me better as a reader. However, my tastes are wide and varied, so as long as you avoid my DNWs, the world’s your oyster. I am always here for fic I didn’t know I wanted.
This year, I’m requesting the following fandoms: The Clouds of Sils Maria (2014); Hannibal (TV); Inception (2010); Line of Duty; Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011), BoJack Horseman.
My DNWs are:
-Non-con, anything sexual involving animals, the toilet, tentacles, non-human biology, underage (sexual activities between characters under 18; references/implications fine).
-Second person POV - this is defined as having the narrating character take up the perspective of “You.” If they are talking aloud and happen to mention “you” to an imaginary audience or something that’s fine.
-Non-canonical kid characters. A note on canonical kids - I’m happy for them to turn up, but I’d rather them not take over the plot.
-Character bashing by narrative. Piss-taking fine and encouraged!
-Modern/Mundane AUs or AUs involving space, zombies, werecreatures, or a/b/o dynamics. If you want to have the characters still meet cute in a cafe in-universe or everything is the same except one character is a vampire, then please do! As long as I can recognise the world as canon I will be happy.
General Likes (by no means a complete list)
+ Sexual Tension - Happy for it to be angsty, cracky, anything in between. Just make me squirm while I totally want the characters to bang.
+Literary/Philosophical Allusions, extended metaphors, color theory, wordplay/banter, absurdity - the more obscure the better! I also love characters who read and/or have weird jobs. Pack in a strange little detail somewhere and I’m sure I’ll love it.
+___!Porn: Identity porn, suit porn, food porn, drinks porn, locations porn? Is that a thing? I just like lush descriptions of things.
+Angst. I love love angst. Give me all the angst. Reasons for angst can include: moral ambiguity, guilt, failed ambitions, infidelity, thoughtful portrayals of grief, depression, PTSD, lost loves and all the rest. I also don't mind character death, but please please don't let it be a cheap plot point for angst.
+Smut likes: teasing, helping each other undress/ruined clothing/frottage, blow jobs, tattoo licking, sex in semi public places, voyeurism, phone sex/voice kink, fluid sexual dynamics (no strict top/bottom roles), edging, pain kink/painplay, rimming (for m/m ships only), fingering, cunnilingus, awkward sex, overstimulation, dubious consent (defined as the character being dub-conned still having some form of agency, even if s/he doesn’t have all the information to hand.), differences in sexual experience, sensory deprivation, roleplaying, breathplay/choking
+Other things that I like that are hard to categorise: loyalty/friendship/ride or die, mindgames, locked room scenario, non-linear narrative, epistolary, crack treated seriously, character study, in universe meta, crapsack worlds, worldbuilding, for want a nail.
The Clouds of Sils Maria (2014) - Maria Enders/Valentine
When I first watched this movie a couple of years ago, I was struck by how much Maloja Snake the play impacted both Maria and Valentine without being overwrought or kitsch. This is THE CANON for identity porn and exploring what it means to retain a sense of self in the spotlight, plus possibly unhealthy boss/employee dynamics also alluded to in Maloja Snake? Yum.
How does Valentine come to work for Maria? Headcanon is that Valentine is a huge fan of Maria’s work and that’s always impressed Maria, but one of the sticking points in Sils Maria seems to be Valentine developing different interpretations from Maria. Off the back of that, is Valentine outgrowing Maria? What does Valentine think about this?
Clothes sharing! I would love Maria accidentally borrowing a band t-shirt from Valentine and then causing a bit of a PR disaster when gossip rags just run with it. Fleshing that out, perhaps Valentine introduces Maria to rock music? I have no idea but I love the idea of Valentine being into things like the Stranglers, Queens of the Stone Age etc.
Pre-Canon where Maria has to shoot a sex scene with someone and the intimacy coach on set (apparently this is a thing) says that she’s not convicing. Valentine helps! Bonus point if Maria’s co-star is a (version of a) real person - I particularly would enjoy someone like Tilda Swinton, Louis Garrel, Asia Argento, or someone completely out of left field like Brad Pitt or Christian Bale or hey, let’s up the ante - Colin Farrell.
Whatever happened to Valentine? Would be over the moon with a creepy piece if Maria is repeatedly haunted by Valentine’s presence during the revival of Maloja Snake.
On a Divergent get together note, perhaps a director cosies up to both of them, and Maria is getting ready to say no to whatever role’s on offer. It turns out that the director is not exactly interested in Maria, but in Valentine. How does Maria feel about this? Does Valentine take the job? Is there long distance pining while Valentine is shooting?
Hannibal (TV) - Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter
Oh, murder husbands. How could I not. This is a general plea for you to bring me your most fucked up imaginings of what happens after the Fall. I’m all for them living in y’know, the normal human way and trying to survive a second time being more honest with each other...or trying to be. I’m also a fan of all the prickly affection they show each other and Will getting more creative about his ways to kill Hannibal and Hannibal getting more turned on, and maybe it’s just gloriously messy. Attempted Murder as Foreplay in Foreign Countries? Come at me. I’m also interested in a version of post-Fall where Will has serious mobility issues - maybe he’s wheelchair bound/has a bad limp. Feel free to bring in slightly beyond the pale comparisons with Mason Verger if that's your brand of dark.
I am also up for all sorts of Weird and maybe Hannibal is Veles, given that he was born Lithuanian? Veles has Hannibal written all over it! Feel free to get American Gods on me or something, I love this shit. Will is maybe not too amused at having ascended to high priestdom in the 21st century because what is this seriously. But Will has always been very good at playing the everyman in unusual situations, so um…? I’m also interested in Hannibal ascending Will to godhood without his consent to keep him alive and this has Consequences. No idea who Will could be here, but maybe Dazhbog or Chernobog? No idea why these gods aren’t around to make room for Will becoming one of them, but hey, I’m sure you’ll come up with something.
In a Divergent AU route that has always intrigued me, I would like to see Will in a world where he’s never become an FBI agent, but he is still a murder-savant. He has no idea why this is happening and goes to Hannibal for a diagnosis. Hannibal erm, does, but maybe not the right one? You know, kind of like canon. Maybe he just runs a gun store/hunting goods store and gets questioned once in a while when people die around town.
A variation on the above prompt: in my ongoing quest to request in-universe hooker AUs for every canon I know, I just want Will as a forty-something hooker with a knack for attracting an uh, interesting clientele. All the bonuses in the world if he tells Hannibal that “I sleep with bad people [so other people don’t have to].” (Prompt specific DW but not a deal breaker, I’d love love top!Will, but I’m not going to run away if you go the opposite way.)
From out of left field, I would love a cracktastic thing where Will and Hannibal run a Youtube channel/Streaming channel called "Murder Husbands" affiliated with the FBI. Maybe it's an educational criminology tool but people just tune in because they like their chemistry so much. Cue Will being perturbed maybe and Hannibal going "I can work with this" 8D. (Also if serial murders still happen around the show….just saying.)
Inception (2010): Arthur/Eames
I love this movie. More especially, I love it for all the things we didn’t see, I hope my prompts reflect this.
Still waiting for that royalty!AU where Eames is actualfax part of the royal family and Arthur misses him when he jaunts off to become the King of England. Would love to see letters/e-mails/texts between them in this context? If all his messages are being censored, maybe Arthur loses his patience and just camps out at Buckingham Palace as an overture to Eames. Eames finds this Romantic. (Prompt specific DNW: please no gaynst, but I would welcome ‘omg Eames is the King of England’ variety of angst to no end.)
Tell me about all the times Arthur failed at being a forger. I like the idea that the Point Man (by virtue of running point) kind of has to have a working knowledge of all the other roles on the job. And he’s probably decent at everything else, but he cannot forge for the life of him. Either Eames lovingly teaches him and they engage in experimental, educational™ selfcest or maybe Arthur learns that he can forge one archetype very well and has to make do with that.
That AU where they meet as an MI6 agent and CIA operative. Because omg.
Break my heart please, I’d like to explore the concept of missing/false or misplaced memories in the context of Arthur or Eames losing their memory. I’d love for this to be more a fictional disease - perhaps somacin related rather than dwelling too much on the specifics of dementia which I know is complicated, and I don’t want to weigh you down with research. However, if you’re confident you can pull it off, then I trust you. In this scenario, I’d love for Arthur or Eames to help each other and maybe plant memories in the places of the ones that have been lost. But of course, no two people remember the same, so...yeah, just angst all around.
Line of Duty - Steve Arnott/Ted Hastings
I kink on accents and probably could sit there and listen to Ted “yes like the battle” Hastings speak forever. But anyway. This show is so tense and exciting and took police interviews to the next level. I would love anything that leaned into the subordinate/superior power dynamic, age difference, Ted’s Catholic guilt contrasted with Steve’s “I’m a single bloke with a private life nobody is safe from my dong” approach. Anything from their pub chat in S2, where Ted opens up to Steve about the state of his marriage and his lack of sexual experience would just be LOVELY. I have no qualms if you’d like to include infidelity, but please do not demonise Roisin.
So uh, Martin Compston used to be a pro footballer and I also recently watched Dogs of Berlin, a German show about football fixing and the police. Give me a football-related case, maybe Steve goes undercover as a player to investigate a cop that’s been covering up the wrongdoings of a star player etc. Ted doesn’t watch the football, but I guess he does now. Bonus if there’s interoffice football where AC12 trashes AC9 or something. Bonus bonus for Kate also being good at football. Bonus for Kate in general. (Full disclosure: I don’t really football, I don’t mind if the details aren’t right.)
S4 gave me a lot of feelings. A lot. How about Ted accidentally moves himself into Steve’s flat to take care of him? I have no clue why, but I feel like Ted would be a whiz in the kitchen. Him making Steve a lamb stew like his grandmother used to make would just warm my cockles. If you’d like some conflict, perhaps while Ted is busy taking care of Steve, he doesn’t end up fighting his Reg 15 notice as he should have? It goes ahead and Steve and Kate have to band together to help Ted clear his name. Also like if you go this route, please give that douchebag Hilton the sendoff he deserves.
Undercover Dating. I have no idea how this would work. I just know I would love it. Bonus if Ted calls Steve “darling” by accident in an attempt to make the endearment gender neutral. Lol.
Tinker Tailor Solider Spy (2011) - George Smiley/Control
So uh, I love my creaky old men apparently. And weirdly, I never shipped Bill/Jim in particular, but when Control says to the room “Smiley leaves with me” I just about died.I have also read the book, so if you’d like to put book details in there too, I wouldn’t mind.
A pre-canon get together would do me nicely! Given that canon is 70s and they don’t seem to be spring chicks, tell me about Smiley the bright eyed first year at Downing College in the 30s where the Cambridge Spy ring was just forming and Control as a mysterious college don. I like the idea that Control had a mind to recruit Smiley for the Circus and woos him with port and cheese.
Pining pining pining. One gets the feeling that Smiley is a well travelled operative while Control was more of an admin mind. But perhaps Smiley is gravely injured abroad and Control breaks protocol to rescue him? A complicated feelings realization ensues.
Times they meet at the pub during canon? Control going: “I bet you miss Ann. I don’t know what that’s like. I’ve always been alone.” Or, a courtship that comes perhaps thirty years too late. Do break my heart with Control’s illness if you’d like, or not. Also, I have never bought that Control never told Smiley about the mole. Please let Control tell Smiley via a complicated code about the mole.
BoJack Horseman - Diane Nguyen/Pickles Aplenty; BoJack Horseman/Mr. Peanutbutter
Fandom specific DNW: No explicit smut - T rated fine/fade outs fine.
Pickles/Diane
I absolutely loved their interaction in Mr Peanutbutter's Boos and would just love to see more. Any fallout from Diane's cheating so she tries to become better friends with Pickles; Pickles idolising Diane; maybe a year or two later with them meeting up as members of the Mr Peanutbutter's Ex Wives club. Prompt specific: I would love something from Pickles' POV but Diane works too. (The Ex Wives club idea has since been jossed, but I still like it, so there.)
In an AU Divergence: I like the idea that Diane is a famous writer - perhaps she writes Ivy Tran, perhaps she writes her book on Good Damage. Whatever the case, she needs to sort out her social media presence and it’s Pickles to the rescue!
Diane is Pickles’s ghostwriter (think, I don’t know, Zoella or something). Hijinx ensue. Basically give me BoJack season 1, but with more sparkles and boba and whipped cream.
BoJack Horseman/Mr. Peanutbutter:
Springboarding off of that episode where Mr. Peanutbutter accidentally becomes the posterboy for Depression, he’s not sure he has depression so he asks BoJack for guidance in order to help the movement (obviously). A get together/Good old fashioned H/C ensues.
Post-jail, Mr. Peanutbutter insists that BoJack live with him. Shenanigans ensue. Bonus points if the media takes this the wrong way and maybe Mr. Peanutbutter does his thing where he goes ‘Oh my god, the Media thinks we’re a couple! What if we are a couple?” BoJack: “I’m glad we’re not a couple. You probably would have broken up with me by now. Wait.”
Thanks for dropping by! This has become one of the highlights of my exchange-related year and I hope you enjoy yourself! I’m asuralucier on Ao3, if you’d like know me better as a reader.
