teyla's Wishlist
Username: teyla
AO3 Username: teyla
Medium Likes: fic, vids
Medium DNWs: meta, picspam, playlists
General Likes:
Character-focused plot, fast paced stuff, pragmatic characters, characters fighting and then making up, characters being dumbasses, a mix of humour and angst, fic that takes a popular fandom premise and puts a new spin on it, characters being loyal to even when annoyed with each other, fic about the exasperated partners of characters who'd rather fight monsters than admit they had a feeling
Specifically for vids: character vids, humour vids
Tropes:
- Enemies to enemies who are married
- Hurt/Comfort or sickfic
- Loyalty kink (as in "You're so goddamn frustrating! Of course I'll help you do this highly sus and dangerous thing, duh.")
General DNWs: anything that focuses solely on a single trope (i.e. pure angst, pure pining, pure fluff etc.), ABO, PWP (sex/ explicit sex is fine, including kink, but I prefer there being some themes outside of sexytimes), classic and unsubverted romance tropes, AU (with the exception of canon divergence), extremely sad endings (doesn't have to be super happy, but I'd like there to be some hope), animal parts on characters who do not canonically have them
Specifically for vids: I struggle with very slow vids; other than that, no DNWs for vids
Fandom: The Lost Tomb Reunion
Characters: Pangzi, Xiaoge, Wu Xie
Pairings: Pangzi/Xiaoge/Wu Xie
I am a big fan of the Iron Triangle being old and married. They don't have to be retired, I'm quite happy for them to be running around tomb raiding, but I struggle to see them in anything other than a polyamorous relationship (which could be open or not, your choice). So for this fandom, I'd love something that works with the premise of OT3. The ship does not need to be the focus of the fic, though. I enjoy exploration of their separate interpersonal relationships (what is it exactly that draws Pangzi to Wu Xie? do Pangzi and Xiaoge ever complain to each other about their impossible husband?) or a reflection on their years together ("Five Times Pangzi Agreed to Something He Shouldn't Have Agreed to & One Time Wu Xie Doesn't Ask Him to"). I'm a big fan of the terminal illness plot on the show, so anything that explores that in more detail is welcome (tell me more about that scene where Pangzi is sobbing and clutching his pendant hoping for Wu Xie to wake up). I'll always enjoy hurt/comfort; I especially enjoy it when the injured party still has to try to function around their injury (to get out of the tomb, to save the other injured party, whatever). My favourite among the three is Pangzi. Xiaoge is next, but I also enjoy Wu Xie and would happily read fic about him and his weird family and obsessive tendencies.
Warning for discussion of sexual harassment/noncon (skip to DNWs if you don't want to read): if you're feeling it, I'd be curious about a fic exploring what might have happened if Director Ding in Warehouse 11 had resorted to sexual harassment to establish his dominance over Wu Xie (he seems like someone who might). If it's an ongoing thing of varying degrees of subtlety rather than a single act of violence, how long would it take for Wu Xie to admit anything to Pangzi? How would Pangzi react? What happens to Wu Xie's great plan, how much will he tolerate before going back starts to seem impossible? Pretty dark, of course, but if it strikes your interest, it's struck mine.
DNWs in this fandom: please don't sideline Pangzi, he and his relationship to the other two are essential to my enjoyment. This includes not making him exit the stage if/when things get romantic or sexy--I firmly see them as a threesome ship, not Pingxie + Pangzi as a friend (that said, a portrayal of any or all of them as asexual is of course welcome). I don't get too excited about Liu Sang--don't mind him showing up for plot reasons, but would rather the fic not focus on him. Other than that (and my general DNWs), go wild!
Fandom: The Rebel
Characters: Chen Moqun
Pairings: Chen Moqun/Lin Nansheng
I love Chen Moqun an unreasonable amount. I don't need apology fic for him; he's pretty evil and that's fine, but among all the characters on that show, his political choices made the most sense to me. I want to know more about what he sees in Lin Nansheng, and if he feels he misjudged him, perhaps, on his first assessment in Nanjing. Recruiting him clearly did not quite work out as planned for Chen Moqun. What happens after Chen Moqun (spoilers!) defects to the Japanese and Lin Nansheng keeps trying and failing to assassinate him? Does Lin Nansheng ever get an answer to his question why Chen Moqun betrayed his country? I thought Chen Moqun's ending was a little contrived and unconvincing; if you'd like to write an alternative scenario describing Lin Nansheng's and Chen Moqun's final encounter, I'd be very interested. Just tell me more about their relationship, especially later in the show, when Lin Nansheng has gained some confidence and can hold his own.
DNWs in this fandom: I'm not too interested in Lin Nansheng and Chen Moqun having a sexual relationship while Lin Nansheng is still all wide-eyed and inexperienced. Happy to read about them getting intimate and/or kinky, though I'd prefer it being set later in the show.
Fandom: Guardian (drama)
Characters: Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei, Zhao Xinci
Pairings: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
I will enjoy most things Weilan in this fandom that are vaguely adjacent to my general likes listed above. However, the thing this fandom hasn't written yet (at least not to my knowledge), and what I'm therefore specifically requesting, is a fic about Zhao Yunlan and his relationship to his father. Zhao Xinci does not have to be a good guy in this, and it doesn't need to be a fix-it for their father-son relationship. I'm interested in how the drama seems to portray Zhao Yunlan as just waiting for an opportunity to build a better relationship with his dad, but every time he tries, he encounters a mind so closed-off that he can't seem to do anything but give up. How did Zhao Yunlan and Zhao Xinci end up there? Is Zhao Yunlan ever going to stop trying? Is Zhao Xinci ever going to budge an inch for the sake of a better relationship with his son? What are Shen Wei's thoughts on this; does he ever speak to Zhao Yunlan about it? Do Shen Wei's feelings about this affect his duty to liaise with Zhao Xinci as Hei Pao Shi? Inquiring minds want to know! This would probably fall into the "emotional hurt/comfort" genre, though doesn't have to if you have a different take on it.
DNWs in this fandom: I'll read most of anything, though especially in this fandom, things can easily get too fluffy for me, so I'd prefer stuff that errs on the side of less fluffy.
