Dear Podficcer,

 

Happy ITPE season! I hope my letter helps you discover something delightful to sink your teeth into this year!

It's been A Year (yet again) and I am feeling Some Kind of Way and so my tl;dr request is: (Unhinged) Feelings (and/or) Shenanigans.

 

Fandoms / Pairings

 

 

Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright / Miles Edgeworth or Gen / Ensemble

Phoenix Wright is a disaster human and Miles Edgeworth is Bad At Feelings with a side heaping of Trauma. When and how do they finally get their shit together? There are so many moments in their shared history with potential. I would love to hear them all. Also, therapy. Therapy for everyone. (I have finally played Spirit of Justice!! Still haven't played the Great Ace Attorney games though.) Ensemble hijinks are wonderful! Will also happily accept character studies or found family stories. Tell me, how do these characters find happy endings?

Naruto - Kakashi Hatake / Iruka Umino

This pairing has stuck with me for a long time. I really love both characters and digging into their respective traumas. Although they don’t interact much in canon, their shared connection to Naruto is more than a jumping off point, imo. I don’t mind Iruka having extra powers than depicted in canon, but I appreciate when other characters realize they’ve underestimated him even without. (Iruka is a badass by default in my heart, okay??) I am more familiar with earlier Naruto canon and prefer canon-aligned or canon-divergent stories as opposed to AUs. Love banter, love emotionally-oblivious idiots here.

Hockey RPF - Various Pairings (or Convince Me!!)

Extremely embarrassing, but hockey RPF has got its hooks in me again. I am interested in a variety of ships here, and am willing to be convinced on ones I'm not already invested in! Those are:

• Sidney Crosby / Evgeni Malkin
• Mitch Marner / Auston Matthews
• Dylan Larkin / Zach Werenski  
• Nolan Patrick / Travis Konecny (yes, I am showing up five years late with a cup of coffee.)
• 2015 draft class - Basically any combo of Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel, Dylan Strome, and Mitch Marner 
• Jordan Eberle/Taylor Hall/Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (I know that the former kidline has been scattered across the NHL, but I still have feels, so many feels)
• Tyson Barrie/Gabriel Landeskog (Tyson Barrie is disaster!bisexual rep imo)

Some additional Hockey RPF musings:
Not a huge fan of cross teams rivals to lovers. Definitely more into friends to lovers. EDIT: Absolutely feral about the (former) Ducks Duo, Trevor Zegras / Jamie Drysdale, and the Boston Bruins Goalies rn.

If you want to make me something that's not a ship included on this list I would love it if you could make a primer on the pairing for me. Actually, I would love a podficced primer for any hockey ship. That can totally be a gift in itself! (Please no John Tavares or Kevin Hayes as primary focus though. Irrational preference.)

Some additional general notes of some things I tend to like/don't like/etc, in case that helps:

 

Tropes

 

Yes Please!!: GETTING TOGETHER, Seemingly Unrequited Pining (but not actually unrequited), friends to lovers, Didn't Know They Were Dating, Magical Connection (telepathy, soulbond, etc.), Magic (in general), Soulmarks, SHARING A BED, Getting Your Shit Together, Found Family, competent characters

 

Fine By Me!: College AUs, Smut, Dubious Consent, Sex Pollen, aliens/fae/etc. Made Them Do It, under-negotiated kink, A/B/O, cisswaps, genderbends, 

 

Do Not Want: High School AUs, prolonged angsty miscommunication, age gapes, unnegotiated or institutionalized power imbalance, Infidelity (especially emotional), Hate Sex, Major Character Death, Unhappy Endings

(tl;dr: I love listening to ‘getting together’ stories. Characters overcoming their hang-ups and insecurities to find happiness. Facing their feelings. Falling in love and falling out of the belief that they don’t deserve it. Also, shenanigans.)

Thank you for making something with me in mind!.
