Crossover Fandom
Relationships:
- Harper (Set It Up)/Jake "Hangman" Seresin (Top Gun Maverik)
Freeforms: Fanfic
General DNWs: Darkfic, horror, rape/noncon, torture, suicide, permanent death of requested characters (assumed or temporary death is okay), terminal illness, threesomes/moresomes, infidelity, genderswap, bestiality, scat, watersports, humiliation, unhappy ending, reader/you fic, de-aged characters.
Since they’re from different canons and don’t have an established dynamic I’m very open to whatever direction you might want to take them in! (Note I would prefer it to be a case where Charlie in SIU didn’t exist rather than there being any link between the characters.) I can more easily visualise Harper stumbling into the TGM world than Hangman turning up in New York - but feel free to handwave the logistics. I mostly just want to see Hangman acting like he’s hot shit and Harper having none of that and him being surprised that he’s into it - and maybe further down the line of knowing each other how that dynamic turns into something more than either expected.
Maybe they run into each other at the bar and competitiveness turns into flirting which turns into a FWB arrangement or a one night stand that neither can forget? Or they’ve know each other for a while and insist there’s no feelings there but a close call for Hangman forces one or both of them to look at the other in a new light. Any rating is welcome.

Far from the Madding Crowd (2015)
Relationships:
- Bathsheba Everdene/Gabriel Oak (FFTMC 2015)
Freeforms: Fanfic
General DNWs: Darkfic, horror, rape/noncon, torture, suicide, permanent death of requested characters (assumed or temporary death is okay), terminal illness, threesomes/moresomes, infidelity, genderswap, bestiality, scat, watersports, humiliation, unhappy ending, reader/you fic, de-aged characters.
The dynamic between Oak and Bathsheba with the reversal of their fortunes and all the things they can’t say just gets me every time - the yearning in this film is delicious! I’d most like to read about what happens after the ending - they’ve had so much build up so how does having a relationship meet their expectations (or not) and how does their new physical relationship affect their daily life, especially with running the farm (on that note, any rating is welcome)?
I also really enjoyed Liddy's character and would be curious about how much she notices, esp as time goes on - an outsider POV fic where G&B were in the background and their story unfolded through Liddy’s eyes would be very welcome. Other character reactions to G&B’s relationship are fine as part of a story, but not as the focus of a whole fic.
Missing scenes (especially in context of outsider POV) and minor canon divergence AUs (e.g. to play with the timing) would be welcome too. Still, I’d like the core of their arc (and all that time growing - and yearning!) to remain the same and don’t want the setting to change.

How to Steal a Million (1966)
Relationships:
- Nicole Bonnet/Simon Dermott (How to Steal a Million)
Freeforms: Fanfic
General DNWs: Darkfic, horror, rape/noncon, torture, suicide, permanent death of requested characters (assumed or temporary death is okay), terminal illness, threesomes/moresomes, infidelity, genderswap, bestiality, scat, watersports, humiliation, unhappy ending, reader/you fic, de-aged characters.
I find this film delightful and the mistaken-identity element of Nicole thinking Simon is a burglar is the cherry on top of their already great chemistry. Post-canon fic of their marriage is welcome, esp including more hijinks (though I’d prefer it to be light on inclusion of Mr Bonnet, even if he inevitably will be the reason for more hijinks), but I’d also be interested in some canon divergence that extended the ‘getting together’ portion of their relationship. Perhaps there’s a longer timeline so they have more time to plan the sculpture heist/the security is different so it requires a more complex plan and Nicole and Simon have to spend more time together as a result, with Simon still having to pretend to be a burglar? Or the heist goes the way of the film, but they end up getting together in a different way? I’d prefer for the fic rating for this one to not be more than Mature.

The Little Mermaid (2023)
Relationships:
- Ariel/Eric (The Little Mermaid 2023)
Freeforms: Fanfic
General DNWs: Darkfic, horror, rape/noncon, torture, suicide, permanent death of requested characters (assumed or temporary death is okay), terminal illness, threesomes/moresomes, infidelity, genderswap, bestiality, scat, watersports, humiliation, unhappy ending, reader/you fic, de-aged characters.
I loved the Disney cartoon when I was young, and though I had some notes on certain aspects of the remake, I thought the chemistry between this version of Ariel & Eric was excellent. I'd like to see more of their dynamic, with the caveat that I would rather not have pregnancy or kid fic here - I'd rather focus on more of just Ariel and Eric getting to know each other better and having adventures.
You can stick to missing scenes and expand on what they got up to on their day out, fill in the gaps of their interactions after reuniting near the end before they start exploring other shores, or future fic later on when they're travelling together. Wedding night/sexy fic is also good. I'm open to AU's as well (perhaps period drama style or modern) - you don't need to transfer the magical aspect if you just want to focus on the character dynamics, though I would prefer in a modern AU that they weren't younger than university age.

Mr. Malcolm's List (2022)
Relationships:
- Henry Ossory/Julia Thistlewaite (Mr Malcolm's List)
Freeforms: Fanfic
General DNWs: Darkfic, horror, rape/noncon, torture, suicide, permanent death of requested characters (assumed or temporary death is okay), terminal illness, threesomes/moresomes, infidelity, genderswap, bestiality, scat, watersports, humiliation, unhappy ending, reader/you fic, de-aged characters.
Julia and Henry are a fun match and I’d be interested to see what their future is like! Julia is bound to cook up some more schemes and though I’m sure Henry will steer her away from anything too extreme, I feel like he could be convinced to participate in something small, perhaps with someone who they agree truly deserves some comeuppance. Canon divergence of how they get together/the film’s plot points are resolved is good too if you have a hankering to take something in a different direction. Any rating is fine, I could imagine them still bantering on their wedding night, which would be fun to read - perhaps Julia has a very definite idea of how things should proceed and Henry surprises her. I like all the main characters in this film so feel free to include whoever you like - a double date type situation with Selina/Jeremy (and with or without Cassidy fifth-wheeling) is very welcome.

Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris (2022)
Relationships:
- André Fauvel/Natasha (Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris)
- Ada Harris & André Fauvel (Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris)
Freeforms: Fanfic
General DNWs: Darkfic, horror, rape/noncon, torture, suicide, permanent death of requested characters (assumed or temporary death is okay), terminal illness, threesomes/moresomes, infidelity, genderswap, bestiality, scat, watersports, humiliation, unhappy ending, reader/you fic, de-aged characters.
This film was so charming and cute! Natasha/André was only a small part of that cuteness and I’d love to get more of their story. Feel free to expand on their background (exactly how long was the pining going on for!), or diverge from canon in how they get together (e.g. maybe she hasn’t quite decided to leave Dior yet by the time Ada departs so there’s a longer journey ahead, perhaps she and André become closer friends for a while before eventually becoming a couple).
André & Ada could be in relation to Natasha/André and her match-making them a bit more, but it doesn’t have to be - I loved their dynamic too and would be happy to read more of their platonic outings. Perhaps her fussing over André in a motherly way, or him showing her something in Paris he thinks she’ll like, or their letters keeping in touch after the events of the film.
If you’re writing with the romantic relationship focus rather than platonic, any rating is fine (perhaps André’s nerves carry through to their first time in the bedroom, how do he and Natasha work past that?). I’d be happy for any of the other film characters to appear, apart from Pamela Penrose (she served her purpose in the film, I just don’t want another storyline involving her).

Why Didn't They Ask Evans? (TV 2022)
Relationships:
- Frances "Frankie" Derwent/Bobby Jones (WDTAE)
Freeforms: Fanfic
General DNWs: Darkfic, horror, rape/noncon, torture, suicide, permanent death of requested characters (assumed or temporary death is okay), terminal illness, threesomes/moresomes, infidelity, genderswap, bestiality, scat, watersports, humiliation, unhappy ending, reader/you fic, de-aged characters.
Bobby and Frankie have great banter and chemistry, and the show delighted me by including so many tropes I like (Friends to lovers! Mutual pining made awkward through class differences! Casual domesticity!).
Missing scenes (especially towards the end of the series when they skip past a few things), future fic (how do they make a marriage work?) or canon divergence are all good (if you want to take a longer, angstier route to their HEA I would eat that up). The canon setting is not that many years behind WWII and I am not opposed to including that in a future fic, if it’s things like anxieties about the future or an emotional reunion post war - I certainly DNW to read about either of them dying because of the war (or otherwise)! I’m also open to setting change AUs - I think a Regency/Victorian AU of their situation where the class differences are even more keenly felt would be great, and would also enjoy a modern take on their banter (as long as it retained some of that tension). Any rating is welcome!
