sarrenThank you for writing for me. Please have fun and if none of my prompts inspire you, please write something that does :)

- character driven stories that focus on relationships, add as much or as little plot as you like. I don't mind angst, as long as there's a happy ending.
- all the tropes: undercover as gay/married, only one bed, soulbonds, sex pollen etc
DNW: major character death, rape, partner betrayal, established relationship (unless they're getting together is in flashbacks or something), unrequited, A/B/O, mundane AUs (canon divergence is fine), surprise!het
Regulars Guys | Echte Kerle
(Chris/Edgar)
Optional Prompt -
I would love to see Chris realise that he CAN be gay for Edgar. Maybe having him ineptly attempt to woo Edgar might be fun? Or if you have another idea you’d like to run with, that’s awesome too. I generally prefer character driven rather than PWPs - I like hot porn as much as the next slasher but I like a believable exploration of how the characters get there so it certainly doesn’t have to be detailed. But because Chris has had to completely reassess his identity and ability to have sex with a man, I wouldn’t mind some insight into what he’s feeling when he does take the leap.
Extra squee -
Just random things I love about the film, mostly I never get to rave about how much I love them:
I love how Chris is bemused by the whole thing - his developing feelings for Edgar, his jealousy of Marco, the uncertainty of not knowing if he did have sex with a man and not rejecting outright the possibility that something COULD have happened. How disconcerted he was about Mike and Edgar suddenly apparently boyfriends now.
I love that Edgar is so genuinely nice, and completely in love with Chris, that scene where he looks at a dozing Chris and murmurs just a little sadly about having fallen for him at first sight. And the teasing, the goggles ‘Du machst mir blind.’ I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE.

(David/Martin)
Optional prompts -
- Coming out to the press and/or their parties/constituents.
- Their first time. Would love David's POV on this - how did he feel when Martin first kissed him, how overwhelming was their first night, realising he could want/love a man.
- Either POV (or both, why not both? *G*) of the moment they each realise that what they feel is love (eg there's a moment when Martin tries to tell David that he's never felt like that before and is interrupted - did he realise when David was sharing his childhood memories, or was it the first night or sometime else).
The Champions
(Craig/Sharron/Richrd)
“Telepathic pain” is how they describe it, when one gets hurt and the others feel it. I love that when Richard kisses a girl, Craig smiles. I love that their partnership is professional, but that they care about each other. I love the fact that the three of them are so intertwined, psychically.
Optional prompts
- they realise that they will always be the most important people in each other lives and live happily ever after together, either in a sexy threesome, or in a platonic co-dependant way.
- Or a mission fic with lots of hurt/comfort and depending on each other
- firt time sexy times. Doesn't have to be explicit, I prefer 'porn with feelings', optional telepathic element
Hogan's Heroes
(Hogan/Klink)
Some completely optional ideas to play around with or mix and match...
- Klink's known all along and has been sekritly protecting them.
- A mission goes wrong and Klink has to protect/rescue them.
- What happens at the end? Do they stick it out to protect Klink and Schultz etc when the camp is liberated or are they ordered to escape en masse before then? How do they spin it so Klink isn't blamed?
MASH
Winchester was my favourite character. I loved the growth his character went through. Happy for however you would like them to get together. If you're wanting a prompt, though - maybe Hawkeye finds out that Winchester is gay (repressed much?) and finds it mildly amusing and maybe occasionally sly alludes to it, so that Winchester knows he knows and gets all strung out about it, but Hawkeye doesn't really care and doesn't realise that he's pushing too hard...
철인왕후 | Mr. Queen (TV)
This one is my new shiny fandom. I love this show so much. It's funny and heartfelt and JBH is hilarious as he adapts to his new body, and Cheoljong is adorable and sneaky and I love them together. The supporting characters are great too, especially JBH's adorable maid and Court Lady Choi who loyally stuck with their odd mistress through everything. I loved the plotting and the adventures, but I'm really here for the queer love story: JBH coming to terms with his new life in a woman's body and a woman's life (even one as privileged as the queen's), and the fact that he was able to fall for a man (because Cheoljong is awesome and gorgeous), and Cheoljong falling for his very odd wife who insists she's a man and is fierce and protective and loyal.
Jsyk, I am in complete denial about the ending of the show. If you'd like to stick to canon, then a fic set within the time Jang Bong Hwan is with Cheoljong and/or a fix-it set after the show would great. HOWEVER, I personally subscribe to the novel ending where JBH and Cheoljong have three kids together and live happily ever after and Queen Cheorin gets to live her best life hitting up the gay clubs in JBH's body. So feel free to ignore the show's ending if you want to :)
Optional prompts -
- Cheoljong really coming to the understanding that his wife is a man in a woman's body, maybe he believes them about coming from the future or maybe Jang Bong Hwan stops trying to convince him of that but Cheoljong figures it anyway. Does that require some soul searching to accept? Or not. How does this affect their love life?
- An exploration of Jang Bong Hwan's sexual identity crisis as he figures out he's attracted to and then in love with a man.
For either of these prompts (or any other plot bunny you run with) I am happy with fade to black, also enjoy het sex scenes which play around with gender roles/identity. *cough* pegging *cough* Hell, if you want a PWP, bring it on, as long as it explores their relationship/identity/feelings etc. Please don't write straight (lol) het sex.
