Holiday Fluff Exchange letter

Because there is no such thing as Too Many Fic Exchanges, I've signed up for the Holiday Fluff Exchange, signups currently ongoing ('til Nov. 4).

Dear Fluff Maker:

Thank you for making something for me! If you matched with me on an art request, I tried to make my prompts in those fandoms suitable for either fic or art.

General likes: hurt/comfort of all types (tropey as hell? bring it on! head injuries, drowning, lost/stranded, hypothermia, desperately worried about a critically injured friend, etc ...), friendship, banter, casefic, character studies, short fluffy fics, long plotty fics, presumed dead, characters saving each other's lives, holidays (I celebrate secular Christmas, so Christmas-related fic is fine with me if appropriate for the canon, but holidays from other traditions are also great), estranged friends reconnecting, characters hanging out/drinking together/playing board games/etc., AUs.

Do Not Want: permanent character death, jealousy or infidelity/cheating (except as present in canon; it's not that you need to avoid all mentions of it, just that I'd rather not have it introduced in a non-canon context), downer endings.

Including canon pairings is always fine in gen requests. I do not have any NOTPs among the canon pairings for these canons.


Marvel Cinematic Universe

This section is longer than the others because I have several different MCU fandoms, not because I want it more than my other requests!

Peggy Carter & Daniel Sousa & Jack Thompson
Peggy Carter/Daniel Sousa/Jack Thompson
My SSR OT3! (Note that if you go the gen route, background Peggy/Daniel is fine.) Any sort of friendship or romantic fluff would be great, also case-related hurt/comfort, aftermath for the shooting in 2x10, that kind of thing. Working late on a holiday? Futurefic, perhaps with the group of them reconnecting after drifting apart, or just something that checks in on where they are in 10 or 20 years?

Luke Cage & Jessica Jones & Matt Murdock & Danny Rand
Defenders team fluff! Bonding and hanging out? Exchanging gifts? Having each other's backs in a fight? You know the shawarma scene at the end of Avengers ... I'd love to see something similar with this bunch. Or any sort of cheerful bonding activity - maybe Danny drags the whole group of them ice skating or caroling, or they all decide to throw a surprise party for one of their birthdays. I love them all and all their sub-combinations.

Ward Meachum & Danny Rand
I love how these two start out so antagonistic and end up so sweet. Maybe something about exchanging gifts for Danny's first Christmas back (or some other holiday), or getting to know each other better in the between-seasons time period, or really anything at all from their Asia trip. (The whole concept of the two of them sharing hotel rooms, hostels, and tents for months lends itself so well to any kind of soul-sharing, emotional h/c, physical h/c, whatever.)

Jeri Hogarth & Ward Meachum
Jeri Hogarth & Danny Rand
I love Jeri and would love to see her with either of these two (or both of them). We know she has a soft spot for Danny and doesn't like the Meachums much. It'd be interesting to see if she warms up to Ward after the court case is over. Maybe Danny does something particularly nice for her. Maybe Ward or Danny needs legal help in the between-seasons period or after S2 and Jeri helps out.

Frank Castle & David "Micro" Lieberman
Frank Castle & Leo Lieberman
Frank Castle & David "Micro" Lieberman & Leo Lieberman & Sarah Lieberman & Zach Lieberman
David "Micro" Lieberman/Sarah Lieberman
Domestic fluff with Frank and/or any combination of Liebermans would make me very happy. (Feel free to recombine characters in combos not shown above.) Hurt/comfort is great (Frank goes to the Liebermans for help? maybe they need his help or emotional support? someone visiting someone else in the hospital?). Holiday fluff with Jewish holidays would be lovely. Or Frank doing something with one of the kids.



Stranger Things

Steve & Dustin
Steve & the kids
Steve and the kids (any combination of kids) will never not be adorable. I would love literally anything with them. The kids teaching Steve to play D&D? Steve teaching them to drive? Someone getting rescued from a monster? Exchanging gifts for a holiday or birthday?

Steve & Nancy & Jonathan
Steve/Nancy/Jonathan
I'm happy with these three in either a gen way (canon pairings are fine) or an OT3 shippy way. Give me anything holiday-related, or get-together fic, or visiting each other in the hospital/patching each other up after a monster fight, or just hanging out. I would like to see Steve being able to get closer to Nancy and Jonathan in the post-S2 era, whether or not they get together.



Alliance-Union

Meg Kady & Sal Aboujib & Paul Dekker & Ben Pollard
Meg Kady/Paul Dekker
Sal Aboujib/Ben Pollard
Paul Dekker & Ben Pollard
I really love the Hellburner crew and their found-family vibe! I'm happy with the canon pairings, or with some sort of OT4 thing. Any kind of downtime or leave time on a space station would be delightful. (Holidays in space!) You could also go with something angstier, like getting back a member of the group who was believed lost, or something h/c-related, or just anything dealing with their life in the Fleet or after the war.

OMG, that would be hilarious. We kind of got it with the Chinese food scene (except poor Jessica couldn't eat), but just imagine the sequel. "So, you must have a big appetite from being DEAD, hunh Matt?"

One criticism I saw was "Why wasn't Luke Cage at that meeting of the crime bosses?" although that would have been less fun.

Still have to catch up on IF, but maybe also Madame Gao! Far too sensible to show up at one of Fisk's flashy demonstrations of dickwaving power.
