Dear Heart Attack Author

[capsquared]

Thank you so much for writing for me. For some requests, I have more ideas than others, so apologies for getting a bit long-winded in places.

Genre thoughts: I love both the fluffiest of fluff and the smuttiest of smut. I don’t expect to see both in the same fic, but if you can make it work, power to you. I have a complicated relationship with angst - it’s fine if there’s some there, but I prefer it conclude with a happy ending.

Character death thoughts: Permanently killing a main character is a big fat DNW for me. Referencing the death of a minor character is okay, as long as it’s not a primary plot point. Basically - fic opens at a funeral or passing reference to someone that died before the events of the story, okay. Minor character dying in the middle of the story, DNW. Temporary character death is okay, as long as the resurrection occurs at the end of the story. A few of the characters in my requests are dead in canon, so that’s one fix-it option.

Pregnancy/kid fics: Yes please. I adore all sorts of kid fics. While I’m okay with mpreg as a general concept, I don’t want to see it in every fandom or with every ship, and don't think it really fits with any of my requests this time around.

SFW DNWS: on screen-death of any character, permanent death of a major character, angsty endings

Harry Potter
Harry Potter & Sirius Black/Remus Lupin
Everyone lives AU time! I’d love to see something where Sirius gets properly exonerated at the end of Prisoner of Azkaban, Remus & Sirius pick up where they left off relationship-wise and they become Harry’s guardians, so no more Dursleys. How does this impact the rest of Harry’s time at Hogwarts? I’m very much good with this preventing Voldemort from fully returning and Harry’s 4th-7th years being largely uneventful.
Percy Weasley
Percy is my absolute favorite character in this fandom. I’d be happy with pretty much anything, but I do have a few ideas.
1) Given the size of the Weasley family, I can see Percy being the forgotten middle child, especially given how much trouble Fred and George cause. I’d love to see something exploring his childhood pre-Hogwarts - his perfectionism and uprightness could definitely come from feeling like he has to be perfect - and better than his older brothers - to be noticed by his parents.
2) Percy is aware that Fudge is using him to get close to Harry and intentionally estranges himself from his family in order to protect Harry and keep Fudge away from him.
3) Anything post-series with Percy repairing his relationship to his family. I’d prefer an AU where Fred lives - I haven’t finished reading Deathly Hallows specifically because “if I didn’t read it, it never happened.”
Sirius Black/Remus Lupin
I’d love to see either a) something from their Hogwarts days/shortly after graduation that shows the beginning of their relationship. If you go this route, please end it before James & Lily are killed and Sirius gets sent to Azkaban. Or b) and everyone lives AU that has Sirius & Remus rebuilding their relationship after Sirius’s escape from prison. You can go with Sirius being properly exonerated or having to stay in hiding - just as long as no one dies.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson
I started playing around with this ship from the moment in Civil War where Sam wouldn’t move the seat up for Bucky. I’d love to see something that builds on/continues from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier where Sam & Bucky are learning how to work together without Steve there and it ultimately develops further. I’d also be good with an AU where Steve is still around and/or Infinity War & Endgame never happened.
Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers
Stucky is one of my favorite ships and I don’t care what canon says, there is no way in hell that after everything Steve went through to save Bucky that he would just leave him behind to go and be with Peggy. A few ideas:
1) Steve and Bucky in the late 1930s/early 1940s before WWII and the US Army intervene. This could be a getting together or an established relationship fic, I’m not picky.
2) Sneaking around in a war zone to be intimate with each other. I’m fine with Peggy and/or Howard and/or the Commandos busting them as long as they’re fine with it and help them keep their secret.
3) 1940s everyone lives AU where they both go home after the war. How do they readjust to civilian life. How do they explain away the fact that Steve is twice the size he used to be?
4) Post-Winter Soldier AU where Sam and Steve find Bucky before the events of Civil War can ever happen.
5) Civil War AU where Tony already knew that Hydra had his parents killed because Steve wasn’t a fucking coward and therefore that epic Stucky vs. Tony fight does not happen. Tony helps hide them from the government and fix Bucky and Bucky doesn’t have to go into cryo and Steve and Bucky have lots of quality time together.
6) Endgame AU where Steve stays in 2023 and he and Bucky live happily ever after.
Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov
My introduction to the MCU was Captain America: The Winter Soldier, so that is my launching point for this ship. I’m good with taking things AU at any point in canon after that and definitely ignore whatever Age of Ultron tried to do with Nat and Bruce (I adore Bruce, but still no). The best starting points I see for them getting together is a) during Winter Soldier, b) right after Winter Soldier, or c) between the end of Black Widow and the beginning of Infinity War, but I’m open to other ideas as well. I’d love to see Nat having to deal with her past to be able to have a healthy relationship to Steve, think she’s dealt with everything, and then something else rears it’s ugly head and they have to start all over again.
Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
I’m open to canon-based fics where Steve and Tony do have to get past their initial antagonism and it becomes a slow burn into a relationship. I do see a lot of AU here depending on timeline - if they’re together before Civil War, that probably plays out a lot differently. And if they end up getting together between Civil War and Infinity War because Tony actually uses the cell phone Steve sent him, Infinity War/Endgame will look a lot different and maybe The Snap never happens at all. I don’t want to see any homewrecking, so I’d prefer that Tony was not with Pepper romantically before getting with Steve.
I’d also be happy with an AU where Howard was a much less shitty father and Steve gets found sooner and he and Tony start dating as Steve gets acclimated to the 1990s or early 2000s. Finding Steve any sooner means Tony would be too young - please don’t put them together until Tony can legally drink. Bonus points if the AU also has Howard still alive and he has to deal with his son’s boyfriend being someone that technically is his own age - according to the MCU wiki, Howard was born 11 months before Steve.
Yelena Belova & Natasha Romanov
I just rewatched Black Widow for fic plotting purposes and it reminded me of just how awesome Yelena is. I’d love to see an Infinity War/Endgame never happened AU, where Nat & Yelena are able to re-build their relationship as sisters.

Star Trek AOS
James T. Kirk/Spock
This is definitely a slow burn situation because these two did not like each other at first. I’d love to see how they progress from not liking each other, to tolerating each other, to being friends, to being lovers. (Past Spock/Uhura is okay to include at long as Kirk isn’t the reason they broke up - no homewreckers please.)

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Armitage Hux/Kylo Ren
I definitely see this as an enemies to loves situation where Hux does not like Kylo at all and hates that he has such an elevated position within the First Order and then they just keep ending up in bed together. You can include Hux being the Resistance informant or ignore it, I’m good with either.
Poe Dameron/Finn
I shipped them from the moment they both realized the other was still alive and the fact that Oscar Isaac wanted them to be a thing, makes me love them even more. I’d love to see how their relationship progresses across the trilogy and where they go from there. You can follow canon and keep Han, Luke, and Leila all passing, or you can throw that out the window where everyone lives.
Poe Dameron/Armitage Hux
When canon finally explored Poe’s backstory, they were trying too hard to make him the new “Han Solo scoundrel type” so I just threw that out the window and made up my own. In this headcanon he was part of New Republic Starfleet and left to join the Resistance when the First Order started to become a problem. I see Poe and Hux being close during those early days in Starfleet and starting a relationship. I’m good with them breaking up when they end up on different sides, or continuing to have a secret relationship that could definitely get them both killed if they’re found out. Either way, that connection to Poe is why Hux becomes an informant and why Poe is able to get him some leniency after they bring down the First Order and they try to rebuild what they had before. Use as much or as little actual canon as you want.

The Defenders
Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson
I just recently rewatched the first season of Daredevil and fell in love with these two as a ship. I’d love to see a take on Foggy finding out that Matt is Daredevil where they’re already in a relationship and how they rebuild that. It was bad enough with them just being BFFs and I know it would be worse with them being boyfriends. I’m find with this being pretty angsty in the middle as long as there’s a happy ending where they’re all reconciled.


Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Kimberly Hart/Tommy Oliver
This is my very first ship and I still love them, even though it is not my endgame ship for either character in my main Power Rangers fic universe. I’d love to see an AU where they never break up and have to navigate that long distance relationship. Other options would be clearing the air after the Turbo movie and getting back together or doing the same thing further out in the future when everyone is an adult. As much as I hate The Letter, I am okay with it being included in a getting back together fic, but I’m also good with making up a different way that they broke up.

Sherlock
Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade
I’ve seen the first two seasons of Sherlock so many times, I don’t even remember what started me shipping these two. I’d love to see how their relationship started - if you follow canon and Lestrade’s divorce then Sherlock is probably the reason they first met, but I’m also very much open to AUs where Lestrade lets Sherlock consult on his cases because of his relationship with Mycroft.

Smallville

Before going into my thoughts for each pairing, I am fine with both of them being included in the same story, where Clark and Lex date in the early seasons, break up probably season 4ish (it’s been a few years since I’ve watched so I’m a little fuzzy on my timeline) and then Clark and Lois get together around when they do in canon.

Clark Kent/Lex Luthor
I shipped these two pretty much from the show’s start, though it clearly has some complications because of a) Lex being 6 years older than Clark and b) Jonathan Kent’s dislike of the Luthors. I’d love to see how they manage a relationship around their complications. Perhaps Clark comes clean with Lex about who he is and prevents a lot of the strife the show put in after the first few seasons.
Clark Kent/Lois Lane
I’d love to see the missing years from the events of most of the season finale to the time jump at the end where they’re finally getting married. What happens during that time frame and why does it take them so long to finally tie the knot?

Stargate Atlantis
Evan Lorne/John Sheppard
My headcanon is that Evan and John knew each other before Atlantis, so they work together really well right out of the gate and already know that the other isn’t straight, so that’s an obstacle you don’t need to tapdance around in getting them together. Whether they’re dating within the confines of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell or DADT is technically policy, but no one on Atlantis cares or the policy never existed and bigotry isn’t an issue, they would still be violating fraternization refs because they’re in the same chain of command and John is Evan’s direct superior officer, so it would still need to be a secret relationship. I’d love to see how they navigate this and determine who they can tell without jeopardizing their careers. I’m fine with the episode “Sunday” and Carson’s death being included as long as there’s not a huge focus on the events.
John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
While I’ve dabbled with other ships, especially for John, this is the very first ship I had for this show and I’ve been revisiting it as of late. Given that Rodney tends to be a bit oblivious to the fact that someone is into him, I’d love to see something with John convincing him that yes he’s into him. I’m fine with them having to date within the confines of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell or a case where DADT is technically policy, but no one on Atlantis cares or pretending that policy never existed and bigotry isn’t an issue.

The Force Awakens
Poe Dameron/Finn
