lirazel: An outdoor scene from the film Picnic at Hanging Rock ([hp] a lot like love)

request

Can y'all prompt me some Buffy/Spike or Ron/Hermione, please? I kinda wanna write some fic (and those are the two pairings that are living in my brain for the moment, the latter for very obvious reasons, the former because it never really leaves) but it's been a while and the well is dry, I am telling you. I'd prefer S7 and on for B/S (including comics-canon) though if you have an excellent earlier scenario that's cool. R/Hr anytime.

Note: I'm not going to write most of these. I just want some ideas to see if I can get the ball rolling. And when I say prompts, I'm mostly requesting, like, scenarios or situations, not really single lines from songs or something. I might actually TRY TO WRITE PLOT THIS TIME GASP DIE OF SHOCK.

So tell me things you'd like to read! Maybe you'll get lucky and I'll write them!

So I'm in fandom stealth mode and I just happened to be checking my email when you posted this, so I'm stealthily sneaking in to leave you some prompts...

+ Spike and Buffy are forced to communicate in a unique way. Maybe in the opposite way that they usually do? Like Buffy and Spike keep passing along messages through Dawn. And Dawn, a la the game telephone, keeps creatively altering them in order to get the romance going. (Although does that seem too close to Love & Blackmail?). I'm imagining it post-Season 8.

+ Buffy and Spike are together and they're coaching a kids' sports team a la Mighty Ducks community service in reparations for damage to public property done while slaying. (I don't even know!) Only then one other team in the league loses its coach so Spike volunteers and suddenly it's Buffy vs. Spike's teams in the championship. And let me tell you, this makes for a not-so-friendly environment around the house. These two are getting COMPETITIVE. And the kids are adorable, of course!

+ Buffy, Spike, Dawn, and Xander get drunk and play rock band. Buffy gets googly-eyed when Spike shows off his vocals. Buffy's on drums, naturally, since they're like stakes and she's a pro.


Okay! *runs away*

Have I ever told you that your brain is a delightful place to be? BECAUSE IT SO IS. ♥

[identity profile] angearia.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, I'm glad! ♥

The second prompt is my favorite actually. If you don't use it, I might steal it back.

I'm now imagining Buffy getting into a fight with the ref. (I'm thinking basketball...)

"Foul! Foul! For... being a jerk."

(I don't understand the rules with basketball in terms of fouls, it never makes sense to me, so I figure Buffy would be confused, too.)

You will have to write that one! I think it's more you than me, and your flawless Buffy!voice would be PERFECT.

YESYESYES.

Oh my god. I want ALL of these. ALL OF THEM.

I would even love #2 with them not ~together~ but cohabitating in some way (say, sharing Dawn's couch after Spike was deposed by his bug minions)--so the competition sort of builds the sexy tension. And there can be fouls called over stealing the remote and such.

I'm envisioning a full-length motion picture based on this.

OOOH YEAH UST-Y TIMES! It's got Emmie written all over it, doesn't it?

[identity profile] blackfrancine.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It does! I can't wait for this to be written! And for you to write the Dawn one (nudge, nudge), because you do such a good Dawn voice!

Yay! Fic!

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw! Thank you! I just love Dawn so much, and Dawn as the shipper-on-deck is way fun. Hmm....

Yay! Sneak it in. She started it - she should write it... :-D

AHHHH! I want that band! I always wanted that band! Spike at the vocals, Buffy at the drums! Want. NAO!

(You know the heart of me)

I'd love to read post-DH early relationship building between Ron and Hermione.

Hmm... and/or a scenario where Hermione, worried that her genius will make Ron feel insecure, is surprised to discover Ron's pride in her.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Awww! Both of those are lovely!

THIS. I was always annoyed that JKR just shot straight to the happily ever after there. Um, these two are a tad wacky and screwed up? I imagine it would take a while for them to get their shit together.

Ron builds Hermione a library/reading area on the Quiddich pitch. (This has probably been done - but I haven't seen it!)

Hermione and Ron, looking for secret ways to get in and out of the castle, stumble into an unknown room at Hogwarts and get stuck together in a time loop a la Groundhog Day or Life Serial. They can't seem to spell their way out, so they'll have to put their heads together and figure out what to do.

Newlyweds Ron and Hermione decide to invite both their families to their little flat for Christmas dinner. Cue hilarity.

Speaking of weddings, what was Hr/R's like?

While traveling with Harry in DH, Hermione decides to keep a diary. Her entries take the form of letters to a certain someone.

Hmm... can I get Ron and Hermione tracking Hermione's parents down after Book 7? Harry can come too but you know, Ron and Hermione in that awkward first stage of romance and Harry suffering through it all :)

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen this done, but not in a definitive way that has become canon to me, you know? Hmmm...might have to do it! It could be super fun from Harry's POV.

I was going to try to come up with a prompt of my own, but instead I am just voting THE WORLD'S MOST ENTHUSIASTIC YES on this! ♥

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! ♥

I'm sure this has been done before, but I've never seen it. Season 7 Dirty Girls...what if Spike and Andrew came home early while everyone's kicking Buffy out? How would Spike react (because I love the scene when he actually does come back in Empty Places)?

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I have so many emotions involving that scene that I'm pretty sure it would turn into hate-on-everybody-who-isn-t-Buffy-and-Spike (and possibly Andrew) fic. It would be so bashy! Which is against my principles of keeping fandom a happy place made of happiness.

That said, I kind of desperately want to do it and probably will. I am a horrible person.

[identity profile] laeria.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I vote yes, personally.

(Just mention it's kinda-sorta-not-really-bashfic in the header? That way nobody has to get steamrolled by the unpleasant feeling of favourite characters behaving badly, and there shan't be unnecessary wank, and your noble mission to keep fandom a happy feelgood place (one which I admire and kinda share) will remain untainted.)

Then I guess I am too because I want to read it!! :D

I'd love to read something fairytale-shaped for Buffy and Spike. Three tasks, metamorphoses, just rewards. Or myth-shaped - Psyche and Eros? But preferably canon-compliant. Which, hey, the canon is stretchy enough for it to work!

For Ron and Hermione, I would love all the social revolutions. Hermione's Home for Discarded Dragons. Ronald Weasley, friend of the elves. Maybe their marriage getting used for publicising mixed marriages, not entirely with their consent. In fact, dealing with the publicness of their romance in general. Possibly eloping at some point. (Do you think they'd take Harry with them if they eloped?)

Re: your first request, may I humbly suggest my own fic, "West of the Moon, East of the Sun." It's a bit long, but it fits.

[identity profile] laeria.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooh, I've dimly heard of this fic! Recently! I'll make sure to check it out, thanks. <3!

Way way back, [livejournal.com profile] seasonal_spuffy did a round with fairy tales as the theme. Alas, that's not one of the comm tags, but you can search through the entries in April-May 2006.

Which isn't to say Lauren shouldn't also write some. *g*

Cool! Thanks for the rec. <3!

This isn't exactly the prompt you asked for, but I'd love to see some Faith/Buffy/Spike that doesn't just involve Faith and Spike Flirting -> Buffy getting jealous -> Buffy getting the balls to get back with Spike. I'm not exactly sure what it would entail, I just know that what I've seen so far out there has been kind of disappointing. I feel like all of them (and especially Faith and Spike) have the potential for so much more. Just something to think about I guess.

I'd to see Spike lose his soul again, either temporarily or permanently, just because I've seen very little of that and I'd like to see how he and Buffy deal with it.

[identity profile] norwie2010.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I have nothing to say.

Just: I'd love to read something from your pen!
