Dear Eat Drink & Make Merry Writer
(If any passersby want to join in, signups close tonight! It's a low-minimum exchange (500 words or a single piece of art); deadline is July 19.)
Dear maker: Thank you so much for making something for me! I'm sure I'll love it! I love all of my requested fandoms and would be equally delighted to have a gift for any of them.
My prompts/likes are for suggestions only. If you have a different idea, go for it! In general I am on board with any sort of food-related comfort, angst, slice-of-life, plotty fic, or h/c.
I requested fic for my main gift, but would be very happy with art treats.
General things I love:
Case fic. Slice of life. Characters hanging out together. Enemies/antagonists to friends. Hurt/comfort. Tortured together, or recovering afterwards. Trauma recovery. Witnessing the other character having nightmares or other trauma after-effects and learning about it that way. Characters being gentle with each other's damage (physical or emotional). Characters being all up in each other's space, especially if they're not actually a couple but are just That Weird about each other. Platonic bedsharing or sharing of other spaces (tents, hotel rooms, etc). Cuddling and gentle touching. Protectiveness. Characters getting badly hurt for someone else (taking a bullet, taking torture to spare them, etc) and the other character feeling terribly guilty about it and the first one not minding at all. Fever, delirium, head injuries, generally being dazed and floppy and out of it. Sex pollen with a focus on taking care of each other's emotional and physical needs, during and/or after. Desperate worry. Presumed dead. Actually dead and then magically healed/fixed/rescued from the afterlife. Handcuffed together. Trapped together. Hiding injuries/illness, not believing they're worth saving or being taken care of. Overworking themselves while recovering from injury or illness, and relapsing. Learning to be loved and to believe they're worthy of love. Families of choice.
Including canonical pairings is always fine!
General DNWs:
Permanent character death or terminal illness (presumed dead, miraculous healing, or characters canonically being ghosts/zombies/etc are all fine). References to real-world plagues currently happening (similar symptoms from a different cause are fine). Dark or downer endings - even if very dark things happen in a fic, I'd like to end on a note of hope.
Food-related DNW: Starvation, eating disorders, or a focus on weight loss/gain
(Temporarily disordered eating because of stress/PTSD with other characters eventually noticing and helping out is fine, or not being able to eat for a little while because of captivity, illness, or hospitalization. I just don't enjoy a heavy focus on weight loss and refeeding.)
Specific food-related likes for this exchange
I asked for some of the same fandoms in Flash in the Pan, so please check out my signup there (it's at the bottom of this page and the start of the next one) and use any of the freeform tags I chose if you like them as prompts! (No need to stick to the requested fandom. Any of those freeforms from any request can be used for any fandom here, if you like.)
General food-related likes:
• Desserts and special treats
• Improvised meals; making do with what they have. Making dinner with the random canned stuff found in a cabin; eating late-night vending machine food in a roadside motel or bus station.
• Showing love by bringing food/coffee/tea to someone who is busy or tired or working late.
• Making food for, or bringing food to, a hurt/sick person, especially if the food-providing person not very good at it but trying their best anyway.
• Bars and coffee shops and other places you can get food/drink.
• Sharing food, or stealing food off each other's plates, because of the level of comfort that implies.
• Family/team dinners, bonding events, picnics, etc. Just generally characters hanging out together and having food or drinks.
Fandoms:
Iron Fist
Ward & Danny
Ward & Colleen
Misty & Colleen
Ward & Danny & Colleen
I love cohabiting and people sharing food and getting to know each other better, and that works so well with this bunch. I love Danny and Ward bonding and getting to know each other, and Misty and Colleen's easy friendship, and Ward and Colleen's prickly animosity with undertones of how alike they really are. I wish we had seen them develop more of a friendship on the show and would enjoy watching them be dragged kicking and screaming into bonding, or general Awkward Family Dinners with everyone trying to get along.
Prompts:
• Camping food. All the camping food. How does Ward react to having to eat burned hot dogs cooked over a campfire?
• I am a complete sucker for the "can't sleep, hanging out in the kitchen and bonding" trope. This could be at Danny & Colleen's place, or in a hostel/rental, or really anywhere that this would work. Angst, nightmares, reluctant bonding while making macaroni-and-cheese or tea are all welcome.
• Misty comes over to keep Colleen company while Danny is gone, and brings food and booze.
• Making someone's childhood food for comfort. Maybe the Rand-Meachum kids have something special they used to know how to make, or Danny tries to make a dish from Colleen's childhood and Ward "helps," or Colleen remembered something Misty said about a childhood favorite and picks it up for her.
• Bringing food to people in the hospital is always something I love. Or supporting someone in the waiting room while their loved one is critically hurt; maybe Ward or Misty supporting Colleen that way, after something happens to Danny. Or Ward paying Colleen the world's most awkward hospital visit.
• Family-team dinner/barbecue/etc. Danny and Colleen host Ward and Misty this time! Or Ward has everyone over for the first time ever and is very bad at it.
• Magic food or drink is totally a thing that could happen to them. Maybe someone gets hit with a very awkwardly timed love spell, or transformed, or sent into a magic coma a la Snow White.
• Ward falling off the wagon or getting drugged is something I'd be completely on board with. (Or anyone else, for that matter. All manner of drugging or poisoning via tainted food or drink are my jam! DELICIOUS POISON JAM.)
• Any holidays involving food! Christmas, Thanksgiving, making a birthday cake, etc.
• Coffeeshop/bakery/etc AUs, or just the characters IN a coffeeshop or bakery, that's good too.

Owen & Tosh
Ianto/Owen
The entire team
Please just ignore anything from "Exit Wounds" onward. You can incorporate later-revealed backstory (e.g. Ianto's sister) or slightly AU versions of events, but I just want everyone to survive series two and three. I mean, for certain values of surviving in Owen's case.
My favorite era in the show is season two, especially late season two, because everyone is so teamy and close; it's lovely. I really loved the dead!Owen arc, particularly how much it softens him and how much closer he gets to his teammates, but if you don't like it or simply don't want to deal with it in fic, that's fine too! (I realize he can't canonically eat or drink while dead, but you could easily use that in a fic - the others incorporating him into food-related team bonding anyway, Owen bringing people food, etc.) And the getting-to-know-you period in season one is also incredibly fun; I'd love to see some tentative friendship bonding from anywhere pre-series onward. Basically, set your fic anywhere before "Exit Wounds," or in a future in which that episode and "Miracle Day" never happened, and I will love you.
Any canon pairings are welcome in the fic. If you write Owen/Ianto, you don't have to break up other canon pairings to make it work; I think all these people would be on board with various poly arrangements.
Prompts:
• Tosh and Gwen have an evening out, or bond over food in the office.
• Showing love via coffee (or tea). Ianto bringing people coffee. People bringing coffee to him, and learning how to make it just right. A thermos of hot tea on a stakeout. Five times someone on the team brought someone else coffee.
• Bringing in treats to share around.
• Unwisely using alien technology to cook food. Disaster or tastiness? You decide!
• As mentioned above, dead!Owen can't eat or drink, and he resents the hell out of it. The team including him in their bonding activities would be nice to see. Feel free to be angsty about it; maybe his ambivalent feelings about being around when they're eating pizza or whatnot overwhelms any fun he might be having, so they find other ways to make him feel valued instead.
• Food that does something weird. Alien spores infecting baked goods in Cardiff and causing bizarre "only in Torchwood" side effects, say, or a shootout at a snack food factory. I love the weirdness of their lives and would love to see something bizarre and Torchwood-esque centered around food.
• A potluck or other team get-together at someone's house. Maybe it's before Rhys finds out about them, so they're all desperately trying not to talk about their jobs.
• I am a complete sucker for the "can't sleep, hanging out in the kitchen and bonding" trope. The Hub doesn't really seem to have that much of a kitchen per se, but it sort of does - enough to make coffee and heat up a Cup Noodle, say - and insomnia/nightmares are probably something they all have to deal with.
• Someone gets drugged or poisoned through a tampered-with drink or food item, and someone else has to take care of them. I mean, if some enemy left poisoned donuts at the tourist office, one of these people probably WOULD stuff one into their mouth without asking questions.
• Any holidays involving food! Christmas, making someone a birthday cake, etc.
• Coffeeshop/bakery AUs! Or a slight AU in which their cover business is a bakery rather than a tourist office, which would be hilarious, come to think of it.

Peggy & Jack
Jack & Daniel
My beloved Team SSR! Watching these people bond over the course of two seasons was such a joy. I would love anything from the early prickly days, to the post-canon era when they're much closer. Period food/drink is very welcome, if you'd like to write about that - automats, wartime rationing, snack foods that are no longer around, horrible 1940s/50s potluck food, anything like that.
Canon-specific DNW: Please ignore Endgame and any new Agents of SHIELD canon as well.
Canon-typical Peggy/Daniel or other pairings are fine. Also, I've requested these characters a bunch, so you can look through past letters for ideas if none of these spark anything.
Prompts:
• People cooking for Jack or bringing him food after he's shot.
• Takeout in the office. Food on stakeouts. Bringing each other sandwiches. Peggy having someone bring food to HER for a change.
• Arguing over office food, who ate the last donut, etc.
• Going out for drinks after a case. There's a recurring theme in the show of characters inviting each other out for drinks, being turned down for various reasons, and never actually getting that drink. Maybe eventually they do.
• Talking about wartime food, field rations, food-item rationing on the home front, and so forth.
• Learning to cook. I expect most of these people are not good cooks. But maybe they are! Perhaps Jack, unexpectedly, is the only one of them who CAN cook, or each of them has exactly one (1) dish they make well. Maybe Peggy decides she is GOING to learn to cook before she gets married, dammit, and ropes Jack into helping her.
• Camping out while doing field work and having to deal with camp food. Maybe it brings back bad wartime memories. Maybe they have to hole up in a cabin and are stuck with highly questionable canned goods.
• Horrible 1950s potluck food! Send them undercover in suburbia and inflict all the aspics on them.

Grace Ryder/Judd Ryder
Judd Ryder & Paul Strickland
I serendipitously saw these relationships in the tagset and thought it sounded GREAT! Grace/Judd is my favorite pairing on the show, and Paul is one of my other favorite characters, so I would love to see him bonding with Judd a bit. (Grace is welcome too!)
The rest of the team is welcome to show up as long as the focus is on at least two of these three. But I love the team relationships too. Marjan is my other fave besides these three, just fyi, but there is nobody on the show that I don't like.
Prompts:
• I loved the bits we saw in the show of Grace and Judd's date nights. Something like that would be very welcome. Judd cooking a special food for her, maybe?
• I would also really love to see anything from Judd's recovery after the explosion. Maybe Grace bringing him food in the hospital, or trying to get him to eat after he's released and is still a total emotional mess.
• The Ryders have Paul over for a barbecue.
• In general, anything with Paul and Judd clashing (in a friendly way) over food, or introducing each other to food from their part of the country, would be lovely! Judd doesn't know what to make of Chicago deep dish pizza, but Paul is equally baffled by the Southern ubiquity of sweet tea, etc.
• I would also really enjoy Paul and Grace getting to know each other! Maybe Paul ends up in a position where, for example, Judd helped him out on a call and he seeks out Grace's help to figure out some kind of thank-you (food) gift, or something like that.
• I'm totally down with a Paul/OC relationship (any gender configuration) if you want to have, for example, Judd helping him pick out chocolates or cook something for someone he's interested in.
• Any holidays involving food! Christmas, Thanksgiving, making a birthday cake, etc.

But also, I did not know/remember that you’ve seen 9-1-1 Lone Star! It’s such a fun show
no subject
I don't think I ever posted about it here! It wasn't one that sucked me down in a fandom kind of way, in particular, but then I saw those characters in the tagset and went OOOOOOO. (The fandom in general seems to be mainly about TK/Carlos, which I really don't care about - I mean, I like them on the show, but I have pretty much 0 interest in reading about them. My faves are Judd, Grace, Marjan, and Paul, and oh look, 3 of the 4 are in the tagset! Actually, I wonder if I should mention that Marjan is my other fave in the optional details so people know I would enjoy having her included ...)
no subject
You probably should mention her, if only so that all of them can maybe get some more fic about them
