Dear Creator,
Hi! Welcome to my impulse-decision sign-up for Night on Fic Mountain! I was not following this exchange at all. I just stumbled upon it and signed up out of the blue, so I admit that I haven't put a whole lot of thought into what I want here. Luckily, I'm actually pretty easy to please. I just like reading, and as long as you don't hit on my Do Not Wants we'll be just fine.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
I am OBSESSED with this movie. I love that it's dark and gritty. I love the humor interspersed throughout. I love the potential for both uplifting fluff and terrifying horror that this world can provide. If you want to write that rapid-fire exchange of humor that is entirely Guy Ritchie's style, I'm here for it. If you want to go down the rabbit hole of the weird, I'm here for it. This is where I'm okay with any of the usual archive warnings. If you've got the urge to write some dark and twisted, I am your reader. I promise you're not going to offend me. I will be thrilled with as explicit and as gruesome as you want to be.
Arthur/Mage
These two are where I expect the most out of that particular brand of humor we got in the movie. Their relationship is great, and I'd love to see it explored. Give me banter in the wilderness or in Camelot. Give me missing scenes between the two of them. Give me the start of a genuine relationship where neither are inclined to take any shit from the other. Give me just more of these two doing their thing. I'm interested in the Mage is Guinevere, but you're going to need to convince me. Give me reasons and not just putting her in that role because it's convenient.
Alternatively, magic can have strange effects on a person, and I like to think that one of those effects is a massive increase in the libido. Surely the Mage can work out an arrangement with the king to get that little issue taken care of.
Arthur/Excalibur
What side effects does the sword have on its bearer? Once it shows you what you need to see, what does it demand in return? Does it continue to invade waking thoughts and dreams? Does it demand anything?
Arthur/Syrens
What other prices might the Syrens accept to grant a king some of their power? Or perhaps to agree not to grant their power to another? We know from the movie that Arthur is willing to think outside the box and look for what he needs in a variety of different places. Scruples or chastity aren't necessarily a concern. Sex pacts are not only on the table but completely encouraged.
Catia/Syrens
So, this is admittedly one of those rare times when my brain saw something and latched onto it for the sheer horror it could bring about. Imagine, if you will, that the loved ones killed and given to the Syrens are brought back as an underwater form of the undead--no longer needing to breathe and able to stay in the depths where they're put. Because sea witches certainly have sexual needs.
Black Panther
Not gonna lie, I'm a little wary of diving head first into Black Panther fic. The movie was perfection. From a writing standpoint, I'm afraid of fucking up. From a reading standpoint? I worry that it won't capture the same wonder that I felt in that theater. Also, there's a lot of social issues to be mindful of. This is the most specific request I have. I'm not looking for romance. I don't even really want a super heavy plot. I want platonic interactions between Shuri, T'Challa, and Bucky as they work to break through his brainwashing. Build up that relationship for me so I can see how we got to the friendly, familiar interaction between Bucky and Shuri in the after credits scene on the movie, and please don't turn any of it into flirting.
Wolverine
Break my heart. Seriously, there ain't much left of a heart for me after seeing Logan anyway, lol. I want the missing scenes from the road trip. Give me Laura bonding with Charles and Logan trying to make sense of it. I want to see Logan and Charles watching Laura sleep and talking about what she could turn out to be. Heartfelt and bittersweet is the name of the game. Maybe somewhere along the way they stumbled on a little county fair and Charles insisted that Laura get to be a child long enough to eat cotton candy and play a game. Maybe they stopped at a diner because they found out she'd never had a milkshake. Perhaps just Laura reminiscing on all those incidents that made those two men so important to her in such a short time. Little things that are made all the more painful by the awareness of what followed. I'm a glutton for punishment on this one.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS
If you're super stuck and you don't know what to do, you can always send me an anon message on tumblr. I'm part of several exchanges right now, and I signed up for most of the same fandoms in all of them so as long as you aren't too specific you won't give away any secrets. :)
Thank you so much! I look forward to reading your wonderful work!
