Fandom, I have returned to submit my demands.
I'm visiting ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stariceling for the weekend and have gotten her hooked on both Leverage and Echo Bazaar (go me). In any case, watching the first season of Leverage in a gulp has reminded me of the two main romantic sets I want enormously that no one has written for me:
Parker/Maggie. Parker likes to smell Maggie. And pet her. And after hanging out with the gang for more than five minutes Maggie realizes a) that Parker isn't being creepy per se, she just doesn't have very normal social functioning and b) it will fuck with Nate's head so much, not to mention the rest of them, honestly, going "Parker? And sex? How?!??" if Maggie goes along with, nay, even returns or escalates, the sniffing and petting.
Also: Parker/Sophie/BASE-jumping. The show has frankly given me just enough to whet my appetite and no enough to say, make a vid just of them leaping of buildings together.
Furthermore, I am astounded that no one is writing the trainwreck I want from Dresden Files fic. Actually, I'm kind of astounded no one is writing certain trainwrecks I thought might actually have some traction in Dresden Files fandom, but perhaps the ao3.org community is too mature for the kind of hilarious badfic drama I want, which is sad, because frankly the thing that sucked me into Dresden Files canon in the first place is the hilarious badfic drama, which has eventually transcended to Lord King Bad Fic, and why would you want your actual fanfic to be more serious and considered than your source material? I ask you. Perhaps I should go check Pit of Voles. *checks* Damn it, that was a bust. There were only 8 stories out of 588 that even listed Molly as a (main? how does that work now?) character. Wow, okay, you guys, I WENT TO PIT OF VOLES FOR MY BADFIC NEEDS and it disappointed. What is the world coming to?
People. I want Molly/Thomas. I think it is hilarious, terrible, and doomed, but I also think that her reaction to soulgazing Thomas could best be characterized as "EDWARD CULLEN ILU" and I deeply want Harry to buy her a Team Edward babydoll and Molly to be like, "What is this--ohhhh, you're MEAN," and then his sartorial snark comes back to bite Harry in the ass when Molly actually wears the shirt in Thomas's general direction and Thomas is like AWKWARD. TASTY BUT AWKWARD.
Also, I am tempted to point out if anyone wanted to write me REALLY badfic that it would be about two steps from canon for villain dujour to try to break/kill Harry, Thomas and Molly by forcing Thomas to eat Molly in front of Harry. Like, seriously? We've already had: villain dujour forced Thomas to eat girls AND Molly and Thomas nearly lose it and go at it in front of Harry in separate incidents. It would NOT BE THAT FARFETCHED TO COMBINE THEM. It probably says terrible things about me that I want to but I DO NOT CARE. If it makes you feel better, in my head, this is accompanied by Thomas asking Molly to use her powers of evil magic to bind his Hunger so he can't kill her outright. Of course this results in Harry freaking out EVEN MORE because MOLLY YOU COULD BE EXECUTED STOP FUCKING WITH HIS HEAD.
Side note: Harry's head exploding repeatedly is an important feature of most of the fic I want. FYI.
I have this theory that "true love" is kind of a misnomer for what troubles White Court vamps, because it pisses me off that Thomas is all blithely "oh yeah most people never know true love, especially rich bitches" re working as a stylist. I think it's actually "I would die for you/you would die for me" that triggers the problem, and most people, you know, people not living in close vicinity to Harry Dresden, live their lives without getting into life-or-death situations and finding out if they ever really would. But so: Molly wants to saaaaaave Thomas, and in my head is risking the wrath of the White Council to bind him, and in the big battle at Chichen Itza, Thomas promises to protect Molly with his LIFE, and so, boom: Molly/Thomas RAPIDLY turns into Blisters, Vol II.
And Justine is like, "At least I am getting laid now?" and Harry's head explodes some more.
*laugh* When I was failing to unpack all of this DEEP REASONING and just told![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
grey_bard that Thomas/Molly leads to Molly/Justine, she said, "Not Thomas/Molly/Justine? Because the true Thomas OTP is Thomas/Thomas's angst?" WHICH IS TOTALLY TRUE. Thomas/Thomas's angst is so pure. *cackle*
I would also talk aboutniqaeli and my plotbunnies about Molly's detailed plan, with many activities, for her and Ramirez popping each other's cherries, or about how we want Molly to out Harry as bisexual to himself and break his brain repeatedly, or how I think it would be awesome to return the favor and break Molly's brain for once when Harry finds himself in a threesome with Michael and Charity--
I would talk about all of these things in more detail but I am sure I have already said enough to make me deeply unpopular in Dresden Files fandom based on what fic is actually getting written, so I'll save my breath. Also I'm hungry.
I maintain that I am still gafiated despite spewing my thoughts and desires at dreamwidth, therefore I reserve the right to ignore any and all comments, especially if they annoy me. Or I might just get bitchy. Fair warning.
