3 Ships Letter

[chess]

For everyone else: 3_ships is the home of this writing challenge, if you're interested in what I'm doing...

----

I'm afraid I haven't left a lot of detail with these requests because basically anything with the central premise would be awesome :-). If you've already got an idea, feel free to head off and write it: the rest of the letter is just here to help if you like some guidance with your challenges...

General preferences:

I tend to view both of the requests as things that would lead to happy / positive relationships rather than deeply terrible and wrong things; on the other hand, I'm not that interested in happy skippy curtain-fic - both sets have some barriers to get over before they can feel comfortable with each other (although if you're writing something short, assuming / briefly referring back to what happened to reach this point is just fine - don't feel you need a massive intro sequence if that's not your style - though if it is, I do love a good bit of character building).

Whilst I'd like a broadly positive ending if possible, I am also a terrible person and am happy to see the characters do terrible things to get there - I don't really have any squicks / triggers / don't-go-there areas...

I wouldn't be signing up to a threesome challenge if I wasn't happy with teh sexings, but I'm just as cool with relationship stuff and a fade to black, or plotty fic with the relationship in the background.

I guess the one thing I really don't want is AU fic, beyond the retcons required to get the threesome to happen in the first place - I adore these characters in the situations that they find themselves in, I'm not so interested in transplanting them into another situation.

Specific stuff:

Fandom: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine
Threesome: Worf / Jadzia Dax / Julian Bashir
Moresome: Elim Garak
Prompt: Garak as matchmaker? :-)

I've written a very vague prompt here because I guess basically I'm looking for a fix-it fic in which Julian gets the girl, but it doesn't break up her existing relationship, and Garak doesn't get left out and lonely either. I just love the way these characters interact with each other, and all of the ways that getting involved could complicate these relationships :-).

Fandom: Avengers Movieverse
Threesome: Loki Laufeyson / Clint Barton / Natasha Romanoff
Prompt: Loki envies what they have, and tries to pull them apart - only to find that they draw him in instead...

Whilst I've given a more specific prompt here, it's really just a starting point if you want it / are unsure of how to get them together - if you've got a different idea already that is totally fine too, write what you want to write :-). I've got a bit of a thing for 'redeeming' Loki, or at least ending up with him feeling less unloved and alone, but I also kind of think he's never exactly going to be tame - he is the Trickster, after all! I guess the kind of theme I have in mind when I think of this threesome, especially with Natasha and Clint's motivation to go along with it after what Loki says and does to them, is 'Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?'...
