firecatDear Fic In a Box writer:
Thank you for writing for me!
My number one want: I hope you write something you enjoy, and have fun.
My Ao3 name is firecat.
I've included some prompts and likes in case you want something to start from, but it's fine with me if you want to go in a different direction.

The Umbrella Academy
I see Klaus as having a hard shell around a vulnerable and yearning center, and I would like him to get something he wants.
Allison/Klaus: I can see them having a weird conversation, possibly while in altered states of consciousness, about her rumoring power and all the ways she might, should, or shouldn't use it. I can see him begging her to use it for something he wants/needs. They also have "performer" in common, although Klaus is more of an amateur performer (to hide, to persuade, to amuse, to protect himself from people he feels unsafe with). Part of their bond might rest on that.
Allison/Klaus/Vanya: I don't have anything specific in mind here. I'm just dying to know what happens when they try it.
Ben/Diego/Klaus: I would love Ben's POV on what's going on here. Or multiple POVs. Or maybe Ben is trying to talk Klaus into/out of something having to do with Diego. Maybe it would involve letting Ben have Klaus's body?
Ben/Klaus: What happens between them when Ben can manifest physically? We've seen Ben possess and control Klaus's body, but maybe they also have the ability to share the body as equals—what would masturbation be like then? If they're having sex with partner(s), how would the partner(s) experience their different ways of using Klaus's body?
Ben/Klaus/Dave: Adult characters please. Maybe an AU set in Vietnam where Ben & Klaus can share Klaus's body. Or Ben's POV on something Klaus & Dave get up to.
Diego/Klaus: Diego envies what he sees as Klaus's easy, happy-go-lucky approach to life (if only he knew what that approach really came from, or what it costs Klaus). But he might not be fully aware of envying it, or the envy might come and go. Klaus flirts with Diego, both because he really wants him and to annoy him. Usually Diego doesn't bite, but some circumstances make him tempted. Klaus has nurturing urges, so hurt/comfort is one way to go.
Klaus/Dave: I would prefer both characters to be adults or an AU where they're both teens. They're both experiencing something emotionally bigger than they've experienced before. Some of what they're experiencing they have in common but other parts of it are very different for each of them.
Crossover: Solo: Sameen Shaw (Person of Interest) in Lucifer TV:
Seeing this in the tagset is what made me sign up for Fic In a Box. I'm just dying to know what she's doing there and how she would fit in. Pretty sure she and Mazikeen would have an interesting relationship. They would recognize the warrior and protector in each other. Would this make them enemies, or friends, or lovers, or some progression from one to another? What would Linda make of Sameen? How about Amenadiel?
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
I don't have a lot of specific ideas for this request. I just like the characters and would enjoy seeing them interacting in some way.
Miss Marple - Agatha Christie
Solo: Jane Marple: I'm curious about Jane Marple's younger years. How did her powers of crime-solving manifest? Why has she never married, and does that tie in with her deductive/intuitive abilities? I'm also curious about her relationship with Detective Inspector Craddock. And I wonder what she and Poirot would think of each other if they were involved with the same case.
Babylon 5
Solo: Neroon; Delenn/Neroon: Neroon initially fears and distrusts Delenn, but ends up sacrificing himself for Delenn's cause. What caused him to change his mind? How did he come to understand that his heart was truly Religious Caste? How does Delenn feel about him and why?
G'Kar/Londo Mollari: A "four times and one time" would be great here. Or focusing in on any of the moments of their twisted relationship. Or showing something that happened between them that we didn't see on screen. I'd love a scene where they're sharing their opinions about all sorts of wacky things.
Lyta Alexander/G'Kar: Maybe regular humans have pleasure thresholds that can't handle G'Kar, but after Lyta gets a Vorlon boost? Well! Of course, Lyta's being able to read G'Kar's mind could be an issue. And/or an asset. They spent a long time alone on a ship together. How did their relationship evolve during this time?
Lyta Alexander/Kosh: What is it like to walk around with Kosh inside you all the time? Does he ever get a chance to warn Lyta about Ulkesh? The lesser races see Vorlons as angels. How does Lyta see Kosh both before and after she's enhanced by them?
Solo: Lyta Alexander: What a major transformation she has. What was it like to undergo?
Solo: Na'Toth: What makes her tick? What does she do on the station when she’s not looking after G’Kar? What was it like when she was forgotten in a dungeon on the Centauri home world? What was it like when she was able to escape and go home?
Solo: Timov - She’s shown herself to be protective of Londo despite her apparent scorn for him. How far does that protectiveness go? What is her life like, apart from being Londo’s wife? Did Morden ever visit Timov, and what did she say to him? What does Timov think of Londo’s relationship with G’kar? According to the B5 wiki, they reconcile after Londo becomes Emperor.
Babylon Berlin (TV)
My desires for this fandom aren’t very specific. I just love the world and want to see more of it. (So I would prefer no alternate setting AUs.)
Edgar "The Armenian" Kasabian/Gereon Rath - Edgar has to protect Gereon even though Gereon is coming after him. What a conflict of interest! How frustrating it must be. He and Gereon have PTSD and addiction in common. How would that come into their relationship?
Gereon Rath/Charlotte Ritter - I like stories about sex workers, so I’d enjoy a story addressing that role of hers. (If so, I’d prefer her to express that there are both pros and cons to the work.) I’d love something that addresses their similarities: they both have a practical, buttoned-up side, and a fun-loving side. Maybe a story wherein each of them rescues the other at some point.
Hogan’s Heroes
I’d love some funny, nostalgia-tinged, kinky smut. Or if you want to do an AU where they kick the asses of modern Nazis, I’m good with that too. The pairings offered in the exchange didn’t include Sgt Schultz, but I would love to have him included in a story — if you can do it without fat-negativity. Making fun of his instinct for self-preservation and his not being the sharpest knife in the drawer is fine.
Lost Girl
I’m mostly here for the hot werewolf sex. And the angsty pining. And for bisexual Kenzi. Hm, a gender-shifted Bo and/or Kenzi would be pretty cool too. And/or Kenzi getting powers.
Sherlock Holmes
Maybe he’s devoted to Watson in an open relationship. Or maybe the openness is just for Holmes, because sex is one of the ways he deals with his restlessness. Maybe Watson suggests that to him as an alternative to his taking drugs. Maybe Holmes seduces Moriarty as a way to take down his organization. Or vice versa. Or maybe they meet by chance and Holmes doesn’t know who he is. I like ACD’s setting but AUs in different time periods would be cool too.
Original Work
Mainly hoping for a light-hearted story with some smut. But angst/whump/pining/darkness OK too.
Thank you for writing for me!
