Hello writer or artist!  I'm not sure how to prompt for art, tbh.  I know I'm already a bit specific on the characters/interacting characters I'd like to see, but from there I like to think I'm easy.  I also give full permission to deviate if you get the sense from my commentary that I'll find it interesting and cool.  I'll just ramble a bit, intended more as a "get to know me," rather than "do this thing."

General DNW: Rape/non-con, abuse between listed characters, sexual kinks (I'm vanilla!), drug/alcohol focus or use beyond what's seen in canon (I'm in recovery).  I'm not a particular fan of AUs or PWP, but if one of those is your jam, go for it :)  

General likes: I do really like bittersweet things: the sense of two people being out of step, star-crossed, tragic.  I also love witty banter and absurd situations treated as entirely normal - some fandoms even call for it!  Mutual respect is awesome.  With romance I like moments where things are still a little unsteady rather than established relationships.  I love it when two people get each other, speak the same language, that "click" of minds and perspectives.  I'm almost more into that than straight up romance, in all honesty.


Smash

Derek Wills/Ivy Lynn - I've written a fair bit for these two, read everything out there, and would just like to see a new perspective I guess?  Maybe post series, since a lot of us had flamed out before then, and I'm always curious what Ivy's new project(s) would be, would they work together again, does she keep helping him, does she move into the tech side of things, how does his "muse" infatuations manifest once he's in a committed relationship?  I don't really like baby!fic, so you can ignore the pregnancy, or I'm curious to see her with a kid, but with a focus more on the career side of things than just the domestic?

I'm fully on board playing with the Fosse/Verdon angle, though hopefully without the drugs and cheating.  I like the notion that Ivy is both his Verdon and Reinking.

What I love about Season 2 is the equality of power in their dynamic.  Ivy finding her confidence personally and professionally, Derek reevaluating the way he works and the fact that he does need other people.  They both get to grow independently, but still come back to each other because there is an undefinable something between them that makes them happy.

DNW: What they were going to do in S3 and have Ivy shuffled off with a baby while everyone else did professional stuff.  I want her to do professional stuff too!


Ivy Lynn & Tom Levitt - These two have such an amazing friendship, but not much fic.  My personal headcanon is that Tom wrote Bombshell for Ivy to star in, and she was his muse.  He just didn't have the clout or confidence to make it happen.  For me, these two are soul mates, and possibly the greatest love story of the show in a Completely Platonic Way.  Love, after all, is much more diverse than sexual attraction or romantic love.

We see a lot of Tom being there for Ivy, so I'd love to see more of Ivy being there for Tom.  How does their relationship shift and grow as they've shifted and grown?  We see parts of them navigating this as Tom directs her, and they have to get through that rough patch.  Do they keep working together, on big projects, side projects, diverge but remain amazing supportive friends behind the scenes?


Being Erica

Erica Strange/Dr. Tom - They are soul mates across lifetimes.  Sinyor said it, so it's canon!  XP  For various reasons
their relationship in show was written as a complex interplay of types of love, and that's what's most beautiful about them.  I don't really know what else to say.  It's the sort of pairing where I feel like if you love it too, we're bonded.

So there was this (network nixed) episode proposal where Erica wakes up in a different lifetime next to a naked Tom (they're married) and when she returns to her current self is left knowing that fact, while DrT obviously does not.  I'm super curious to see anything on any part of that whole situation.


The Pretender

Jarod/Miss Parker - One of the most epic of epic relationships.  And I just want to see them interact.  What is it about them?  It just that they were kids in the center of this huge crazy whirlwind of The Centre which itself was only an intervening player in an ancient prophecy, and then they became adults and they're still at the mercy of all of that Stuff.  And they have each other, they've always had each other, but all the Stuff broke them and set walls and conflict between them, and I just want them to both reach out at the same time and not get interrupted.

Gotta be straight with you, I have it in queue to do a rewatch, but I don't 100% remember everything that went down because it got really complicated and bewildering by the end there, but I do remember what I feel about them :)


The Librarians

Ezekiel Jones & Jenkins - These are my two favourite characters, and scenes where they interact are my favourite parts of the show.  I feel like Ezekiel got the short end of the stick in the writing, because in a sense he was the most stable ("boring") character, but that's what made him the most interesting to me.  He knows who he is, he's already his worst self and he's not bad at all.  He is upfront and enjoys life and is comfortable with that all.  And Jenkins is similar in that he knows himself, he's been around long enough to have surety, but also long enough to be lonely, and his snark is unmatched - enter them being bestest friends!

Banter, heavy stuff, bantering heavy stuff!  A little side adventure would be fun, whether tracking down something dangerous, staging a rescue, or just retrieving coffee.

I now realize I never watched season 4, which should not affect you at all, it was just a weird realization.  

DNW: Cassandra as a major character.  I am not fond of her.
