character meme from muccamukk

nenya_kanadkaYou know that meme that goes around sometimes where you post your five favourite kinks and then five favourite couples, and it's like a wish into the universe to see if anybody will write it for you? Let's make it a little more interactive.
Comment here if you want to play,and I will give you 3-6 couples or characters that I associate with you, and you make an entry in your journal talking about those couples/characters and fics that you wish the universe would write for you.
muccamukk gave me:
Delenn
Everybody knows about my Delenn/Lennier(/Sheridan) feels, and my Valen/Sakai/uber!Delenn feels. Somebody write me the novel about Delenn's reincarnated lives over the millenia someday--that would be awesome.
Also I want fic about Delenn before the show: Delenn and Mayan, Delenn choosing her career path, Delenn and Dukhat. (Delenn/Dukhat most definitely welcome. I want epic reams of mentor/protegee for them. Would also be interested in an everyone-lives kind of AU where Dukhat survived, and how that would change history.) I guess the overarching theme here is Delenn as Minbari: as much as I get the theme of human-Minbari fusion and the thing with the Chrysalis, my heart is really with Delenn's Minbari side and I hate when she gets made too human.
everyone else played by Mira
*snicker*Okay yes I did watch everything I could get my hands on. This one's a canon want list:
What I want for a character played by Mira Furlan is two things: a) IN SPACE again. I might get this with Space Command? Though I'm not sure how big her role is.
But b), if set on Earth in the modern day (mundane AU!), which seems to be most of what she does these days when she's not doing theatre in the Balkans (which is its own thing): Something where she's not playing a neglected, cheated on, or otherwise betrayed-by-a-shitty-dude wife. Can deal with motherhood but prefer if she gets to do something where it's not all about supporting other people. I just...can she and Paul McGann get cast in a movie together to be a loving, stable couple, but together they fight crime or something? That would be FUN.
Or a lesbian. She has chemistry with everything up to and including a brick wall, and that most definitely includes female costars. See also: Space Command, which has her as a married canon lesbian in space. But is taking for-fuckin-ever to air.
Bel from Steerswoman
Another one where I want Moar Canon. :D I am not sure if you mean Bel (the Outskirter warrior woman) or Rowan (the Steerswoman travelling scientist), but what I'd love for the two of them together is femslash, obviously. But like travelling around their world Finding Things Out, while having a grand h/c loyalty-infused romance. (Basically canon + snogging.)
For Bel in specific, I'd love to see more of her POV, since canon's from Rowan's viewpoint. Bel learning more about magic/science (the boundary between the two being such a huge point in this series), and bringing her own cultural viewpoint to it. Bel meeting more of Rowan's Steerswoman friends. Bel's youth in the Outskirts. Bel vs a demon...once they know what the demons really are.
Kira/Yates
So this is my "That time I was roleplaying Kasidy Yates and also coming out as bi, while crushing on Kira Nerys" ship. :P
I've always been fascinated by Kasidy's Maquis involvement, and I'd love to see something where that runs into Kira's Bajoran Resistance past. I strongly suspect they know some of the same people, in that complex tangled underworld sort of way. A thing I really love about DS9 in general is how domestic/interstellar politics affect interpersonal relationships, and vice versa.
I'd love something that just revelled in all the complexities of loyalty there: either earlier in the show where Kas is working for the Maquis and Kira's just barely coming to trust the Federation, and both of them are feeling out Ben Sisko, or after the finale where Ben's gone and the two of them are left picking up the pieces. (And Bajor's about to join the Federation--but that doesn't mean all the old issues are gone. Far from it.) An AU where Kas wasn't sleeping with Ben, or where they broke up, or something...probably not cheating, but I'd love some actual femslash for these two. Bonus if there's little to no angst about it being a queer relationship--but tons of feels about their loyalties as Federation citizen, spaceship captain, Bajoran officer, worshipper of the Prophets, and so on.
Phryne/Jack
Just lots of sex. And pining. But mostly sex.
Alex/Hank
All that staring into one another's eyes and gripping each other passionately about the shoulders while giving pep talks about surviving trauma--but in a shippy way rather than a supposedly-parental one. (Hank-Kara is pseudo-parental. Hank/Alex, not so much.) Hank thinking the world of her skills as an agent, Alex being curious about his alien nature (but not in a weird way). They fight alien crime, they get banged up or kidnapped and have to rescue one another, they huddle for warmth or deal with sex pollen, they have telepathic sex at inappropriate times, they go flying--basically they do all the buddy-cop stuff. Yes. <3
Maria Hill
Maria Hill saves the world through competence, planning, bureaucracy, and strong but carefully-contained emotions. Plus probably most of the stuff for Alex Danvers, really. A nice slow-burn ship with Sam or Fury or Melinda May or Bobbi Morse or idk Natasha, would also be great. Post-CA:TWS work-buddies with Pepper Potts. Keeping secrets. Having a cat to come home to. Or like--basically that current Mockingbird comic, with Maria Hill in. Okay I've now decided that Maria/Bobbi is my new ship. Which might be a great idea or might mean I'm too hungry to be updating DW. :D
Will give characters/ships to people who leave comments. :-)

Date: 2016-08-16 04:32 am (UTC)I keep forgetting that Space Command is a thing.
No, but listen, Jack and Phryne and idk gangsters made them do it is their first time, and so they have gotten over the actually (sorta) having sex thing, but now it's even MORE Fraught with even MORE Pining and Repression. For reals. Or Jack goes after Phryne, but gets shipwrecked on the way to England and she just thinks he bailed, but meanwhile he's Struggling For Survival, and she is Dashing and rescues him.
I feel like our Hank/Alex and our Maria Hill feelings are more or less in line.

Date: 2016-08-16 05:45 am (UTC)I mean, I don't think my worldbuilding skills are up to writing it myself, and I'm super picky about how other people do it, but...the question was what I want the universe to give me. :D
Ooh like, pining but now they've had sex so they have all these memories but they have not worked through the feelings and the admitting they want to date and so on and so forth? See that could work. Also you could probably write the hell out of Jack is shipwrecked, Phryne is dashing. I know I'd read it.
Yes, DCU and MCU are both pretty good to us when it comes to competent humans (prefer female). <3

Date: 2016-08-16 05:59 am (UTC)Things, wot you may want fic for:
The Master
Doctor/TARDIS
Dr. McCoy
Odo/Lwaxana
Mirror Middleman
your favourite thing about Mass Effect
pining for distraction
Date: 2016-08-16 12:14 pm (UTC)Have you ever seen the NCIS episode with Mira? Where she is an artist living off the grid in the Southwest. There are rifles. And horses. It aired (out of order on some channel or another) after the one with Bruce as a high-ranking admiral stern and pretty in dress whites. I played around with those two characters for a while...
Re: pining for distraction
Date: 2016-08-17 02:50 am (UTC)Tell me what fic you wish the universe would give you for:
John/Delenn
Stephen/Marcus, or Stephen Franklin generally
Sarah Jane Adventures
your favourite Doctor
Robin Hobb
I did see that one! Not the one with Bruce as an admiral in dress whites (that would have been pretty). I liked off-the-grid-artist-horsewoman Mira. But guest starring spots always leave me wanting moar.
...actually, tell me what you'd write for those two characters. :D

Date: 2016-08-16 07:30 pm (UTC)Dammit, now I ship Mockingbird!Bobbi/Maria. Especially since Maria always gets the shaft in comics, I loathe it. She needs a good female writer.
no subject
Date: 2016-08-17 02:41 am (UTC)And then, well. I got a lot less Minbar than I wanted (though possibly more than Mucca wanted; she's of the "not another damn space elf!" persuasion generally).
I was only vaguely aware of Maria until the MCU, but yeah. Come sail this ship with me! They can fight weird shit together with the power of sensibleness (and fab boots).
PS Mucca already gave you a list, right?
no subject
Date: 2016-08-17 02:46 am (UTC)AAAAAAHAHAHA
It felt like Centauri got the most filled out, and that was basically, well, Rome. We never saw much of Narn, and there was stuff set on Minbar but I think mainly they just didn't have the budget. But more Minbari friends would've been cool!
Come sail this ship with me! They can fight weird shit together with the power of sensibleness (and fab boots).
Maria's still in control of SHIELD or whatever in comics, right? (Hah, I just skimmed that "Pleasant Hill" stuff.) She could totally get together with Mbird!Bobbi.
(Yes I got a list! I have it open in a tab to remind me. Did you see what she wrote about Bucky? SNRK.)
PS Mucca already gave you a list, right?

Date: 2016-08-19 08:59 pm (UTC)(And also, you're giving me ideas for expanding one of my AUs where Maria Hill is one of the central figures, though granted she's not just Maria in that. The AU already has Maria/Melinda/Natasha, and she has an intense interest in keeping Nick Fury in one piece, and I really need to bring Sam into it and others... and I'm going to stop nattering here and go scribble down some notes for things I need to bring into the AU so I can do the next long-fic in it.)

Date: 2016-08-20 10:04 am (UTC)List! What fic do you wish the universe would give you for:
Sam Carter
Julian Bashir
Padmé Amidala
The Master
