Holly Poly Letter  
Hello Creator!

Apologies this letter is late but let's begin with saying thank you for making something for me :)

Below are some general notes about stuff I like, followed by some notes about why I like each relationship and maybe a prompt or two if you are looking for inspiration.

General Likes & Dislikes

I never quite know what to say for these things in terms of general likes and dislikes, as I don't have any triggers and will read just about anything as you make it convincing within the world of the source material.

But I think a good rule of thumb is that you can assume I am okay within anything all ready in the source in terms of themes, violence, sex, etc, plus anything additional that I mention below.
  • I'm good with any rating, whether it be G rated piece of fluff or a full-on explicit PWP.

  • I'm fine with AUs whether it be a minor canon divergence or a completely different universe. (And granted, for some sources I prefer if we ignore parts of canon.)

  • I prefer third person POV. 1st and 2nd POV just doesn't quite work for me when it comes to fanfic.

  • I'm good with dark stories and I don't need a happy ending per se but I do need a hopeful one.
In regards to sexual tropes and themes there are also a couple of things I can think of that I like:
  • I like intimacy both sexually, emotionally and domestically (if that makes sense, I haven't quite figured out how to explain exactly what I mean yet)

  • I like awkward sex

  • I like D/s dynamics but not "official" BDSM with "official" dom/sub roles. I also only like this dynamic for sex fun times, I don't like this dynamic extending to roles outside the bedroom

  • I like Non-Traditional ABO Dynamics

  • I also like it when the women are in more dominant roles and the men in more submissive roles
But as mentioned, I am completely fine with a G rated fic so don't feel like you need to include a sex scene.

In regards to vids, I like all sorts whether they be ensemble or character driven vids, vids with dialogue audio, vids with heavy effects, vids that are serious, vids that a funny, etc. I also like all genres of music so feel free to choose any song but I do appreciate unlikely song choices for vids. And to be honest, a not so insignificant number of my favourite songs are songs that I love because they were used in vids that I love. So I am very easily won over in terms of music.

Community

→ Troy Barnes/Annie Edison/Abed Nadir

One of my favourite things about Community was that everyone was one thin line away from going balls to the wall and I especially enjoyed how Annie (supposedly the responsible one) always stepped up to commit to whatever the latest shenanigans were. So I really liked her relationship with Troy and Abed and how she moved in with them, leading to one of my favourite lines when Troy exclaimed: "You were supposed to tone us down!"

So I would enjoy seeing something about them being together while they were at college but since the series did end with them physically separated, I thought it would be nice to see a story about them reconnecting in the future. You know, maybe they weren't together when they were younger, maybe they were just friends, but after being apart for many years, seeing them come back together and see how they have changed but still fit together. Or even something looking at how they kept in touch while they were separated.

Leverage

→ Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer

Confession: I haven't actually watched Leverage Redemption yet. Not for a lack of want though. It's just, Leverage is one of my favourite shows of all time and I was so excited to hear it was coming back but it's not a show I can just watch casually. I need to be in the right headspace to full appreciate and savor it.

That said I will 100% make sure to finish it before the posting deadline so feel free to include any spoilers from it, I just can't give you any prompts specific to it.

But I just really liked these three as individual characters with their own quirks and competencies. I liked the different relationships they had with each other and how they grew over time. And I liked them as a trio working together.

Their relationship was also so understated in the show but still depicted in a really emotionally rich way. You would get little crumbs here and there about how things were developing but the crumbs were also so filling!

Ted Lasso

→ Keeley Jones/Roy Kent/Jamie Tartt

I didn't start out liking Jamie but I think they developed his character and his relationship with Roy in such a great way. And while I really enjoy Roy and Keeley's relationship in the show and I hope they don't break up, I can't help but think how the inclusion of Jamie would make for an extremely entertaining but still heartfelt story.

Gunpowder Milkshake

→ Anna May/Florence/Madeleine/Scarlet
→ Anna May/Florence/Madeleine

I really enjoyed this movie. The visuals were gorgeous, the fight scenes were fun and I think the overall premise was good but I think they kind of wasted the great cast they had.

Which is why I would like to find out more about these fine ladies backstories. Whether you want to include Scarlet or not is up to you and I am also all for pretending Madeleine isn't dead.

Marvel Cinematic Universe



As you can probably tell from the pairings I am a "Team Cap" and "Team Thor" fan and Steve is my favourite character out of everyone. But I also thought Endgame was a terrible movie and was pretty unhappy with how everyone's arcs went. So for any post-Endgame stories I would prefer it if Steve never went into the past and Natasha is still alive. Over time I have also grown less and less fond of Tony Stark so while he can be alive as well, I don't really want to hear much about him.

I should also admit that I do tend to have a preference for Steve being on the receiving end of things and being awkward in sexual situations. Not necessarily in an "innocent" or "prudish" sense, but he always came across to me as awkward in social situations and I figure that carries across to sexual situations.

→ James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Thor

I just think these three big beefy guys would be fun together, you know?

→ James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson

I really enjoy these three together and was kinda devastated when Steve went back to the past with barely a goodbye so again, let's just pretend that didn't happen.

I think they make a great team and would be happy to see something set during Winter Solider/Civil War, something in the future or something during The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

I also don't want to see Steve get too involved with the events of TFATWS. I think it was great those two got a show of their own so we could see them shine, and Sam as Captain America was absolutely amazing but I think they also dropped enough mentions of Steve to make for some interesting possibilities. Moon stuff!

→ Natasha Romanov/Steve Rogers/Thor

While I know I just said I didn't like Endgame, I do like stories about the 5 year time skip and how everyone dealt with things. So while I don't really like the fact that everyone seemed to leave Thor alone in New Asgard and I don't really like the fact that Steve apparently left Natasha to run the Avengers compound alone while he started a support group he didn't believe in, I would like a fic that maybe tweaks canon a little and shows these three leaning on each other a little more.

I also think these three have many similarities and would make for an interesting relationship.

→ Yelena Belova/Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov

I think it would be really fun to see Yelena and Steve interact. How the three of them get together I have no idea but I am really interested to see how such a relationship would work.
