Just Married 2020 Letter

Hello Writer!

First and foremost, thank you very much for writing my fic! I hope you enjoy it!

My AO3 is TheseusInTheMaze.

General Likes:

Flustered people who end up accidentally married and aren’t sure what to do with themselves, but go along with it anyway because for some strange reason the idea of being married to this person just makes them so happy. Randomly. Of course it’s random. (It’s not random).

People getting used to being intimate with each other - the little intimacies involved in a wedding, like doing someone’s hair, helping them with their dress or their suit. The intimacy after the wedding - even if it isn’t sex, unzipping someone’s dress, helping them out of their shoes, untying their tie, rubbing their sore feet.

I love the rituals involved in a wedding, whether it’s the traditional ones like stepping on a glass or tying your hands together, or some other alien ritual that nonetheless means a lot to all participants. Wedding bands or necklaces, special ribbons or painting each other’s faces, stuff of that nature.
I love the idea of food being involved in a wedding - sharing a glass of wine, baking bread together, sharing an apple, things like that.

People slow dancing together, caught in their little bubble of silence on a dance floor, embarrassed at the sentiment but happy in spite of themselves. That joyous, bubbling feeling when you’re with someone who you love and everyone knows, even if you weren’t sure that it was a thing you want.

I don’t have any specific ideas - I’d be happy if you just take the tags as a suggestion and go from there! I do love wedding rituals involving food - maybe accidental space marriage because they cook something together, or they share a sacred meal without realizing it’s a sacred meal. I would prefer it to be happy, more or less. Preferably both parties are a bit unsure as to how they go about it, but they still end up happy together. Maybe the TARDIS decides to do some matchmaking, with a time loop of some kind that she keeps repeating.

For the Master/Doctor pairing, I’m okay with there being some conflict, but nothing too intense.
I will request, for any wedding, that the Doctor be put in a suit and not in a dress.

Sarah Jane Adventures:

Accidental Space Marriage
Time Loop - endlessly repeating wedding day
Aliens Make Them Get Married
Elaborate Courtship - Strange Alien/Supernatural Courtship Rituals
Honeymoon
Mutual Not-Actually-Unrequited Pining for Spouse
Time Loop Can Only End Through Marriage

Pairings:

Rani Chandra/Maria Jackson (Sarah Jane Adventures)
Maria Jackson/Sarah Jane Smith (Sarah Jane Adventures)
Rani Chandra/Sarah Jane Smith (Sarah Jane Adventures)
Rani Chandra/Martha Jones (Sarah Jane Adventures)

I love the idea of accidental space marriage, especially if Sarah Jane is flustered over the idea of being married to one of “her” kids. Maybe some kind of diplomatic mission, or the TARDIS being pushy all over again. Lots of pining on all sides would make my day, and possibly Sarah Jane being guilty over just how happy the idea of being married to one of her girls makes her, or seeing her girls married to each other.

Alternately, Rani has a crush on Martha and somehow they end up space married to each other, or stuck in a time loop, or something similar and all parties involved are confused but happy for them. I’d be happy with any of the freeform tags turned into a fic!

Repo! The Genetic Opera

Getting Married to Extend Legal Rights/Protections to Partner
Marrying because of guilt
Forced Marriage by Corporate Overlords
Married to Inherit the Company
Married for the benefits
Marrying For An Inheritance
Marrying to protect someone from danger
Pining for Spouse

Pairings:

Blind Mag | Magdalene Defoe/Marni Wallace (Repo)
Blind Mag | Magdalene Defoe/Shilo Wallace (Repo)
Amber Sweet/Shilo Wallace (Repo)

I really love the idea of Shilo somehow finding out about inheriting the company, and marrying Mag before she has a chance to get repoed. Maybe she agrees to take over the company, in exchange for Mag’s protection and she seals the deal with marriage? Maybe she proposes to Mag impulsively, and Mag is so drowning in despair and scared of everything else that’s happening that she says “sure, why not.”

Alternately, Marni and Mag running away from Rotti and Nathan, to get married together. Maybe they have a secret marriage off in some corner of the city, or maybe they end up throwing a big party and it ends up being a Thing - I’m good with almost all of it, honestly. I would love for Shilo to pine intensely for Mag, however. I’m also good with angst for this particular permutation - Mag angsting about missing Marni, Mag angsting about how much she wants Shilo except Shilo is so young, Shilo angsting over being in love with Mag and being in charge of GeneCo, the whole shebang.

I kinda love the idea of Amber talking Shilo into marrying her. Maybe Shilo marries Amber after inheriting the company - “want to keep it in the family, don’t we?” - or maybe Amber marries Shilo because she feels sorry for the kid. I’d prefer that they at least learn to like each other, if not love each other.

Pairing:

Jupiter/Venus/Neptune

I would love anything with the three worst girls deciding to have some kind of marriage ceremony, especially if an apple is involved in it. Maybe they create some kind of ritual? I’m really not picky - I just love these three and I want to see them happy and married. Thank you!
