Day 7

Create a list of at least three fannish things you'd like to receive


The Vintner's Luck:

I would love for this book to have a fandom, period. I understand a terrible movie was made from it, but I haven't seen it, therefore it doesn't exist. I cannot tell you how excited I was to see this posted at [personal profile] yuletide; believe me when I tell you it made my afternoon.

I know Xas is supposed to be the book's true focus, but I ship Baptiste/Sobran so hard. I just can't help it. I guess all the MWPP fics I've written have left me with an incurable soft spot for best friends who stray over the line out of awkward curiosity. I'm sure that's how I'm supposed to read it -- that their past relationship came down to teenage experimentation, or whatever, but I can't shake the feeling tha there was something more to it, at least on Sobran's end. I mean, he followed Baptiste into a warzone.

I've love to see something that explores their early relationship, or the time they spent in Napoleon's army.

Boondock Saints

I've always wanted to read a BDS fic set in Los Angeles. And I don't mean that they drive out to Santa Monica or Venice and stare at the water for a few paragraphs, then shoot a couple of drug pushers while getting suntans. I'm taking about something set in Los Angeles. I'd love for it to have a real pulp fiction/film noir feel to it -- something harsh and gritty and familiar with the seedy Hollywood landscape.

Like, maybe they come out to Los Angeles looking for a specific target. But they can't find him right away, or they have a very difficult time getting close enough to take him out, so they have to hang around for awhile. They end up renting a room in one of those ridiculous weekly hotels off Sunset, and they maybe spend a little to much time drinking in the local bars, because the waiting and watching is fraying on their nerves. And they start to forget why they came out to Los Angeles in the first place, and they have to bring each other back into focus.

Preferably through sweaty, semi-public sex.

Harry Potter

I want two things, here.

Firstly, I want a good, plotty fic that explains Peter Pettigrew's defection. I mean, something that really explains it. And I want a fairly plausible explanation, too -- something that doesn't just boil down to awkward and fumbling teenage sexual relationships. I just don't think Peter joined up with Voldemort because James (or Lily) wouldn't sleep with him, or because he was hot for Snape (or Regulus, or Tom Riddle).

Lastly, I want some shameless James/Regulus Quidditch smut. Seriously shameless. I want it so terribly that I've tried to write it myself about three times, but I've always given it up as a bad job and few hundred words in. I just don't trust myself with the material. The thing is, I really want it to be about James and Regulus and only James and Regulus, and at the end of the day, all my MWPP fics are really about Sirius.
