Hi! I signed up for this exchange extremely last minute, so this letter is not the most thoughtful one I've ever written! As such, I've stolen these general likes and dislikes from myself 3 years ago, but I also wrote specific fandom opinions below.

 

I would be thrilled with any fic that takes place post-film in New York (and assumes Cay follows Vivian and they give it a real go). 

 

My dream fic for this fandom - and this is very very optional - is a crossover where somehow they meet and bond with fellow May/December midcentury lesbians Carol (2015) and Therese. Cay the sculptor meets Therese the photographer? Vivian needs new furniture for her husbandless apartment and Carol or Abby recognize a kindred spirit while selling it?. 

 

I don't really have any ideas here. I miss this show and think Jane was bi all along. Every time I come across a Daria fic in this exchange or Yuletide I'm happy. 

 

Etta Candy was amazing; I loved her attitude and sense of humor. I like to think Diana was also charmed by her. There's a long timeline in which this romance could take place (100 years almost!), and I'd be open to seeing any part of it. (I would prefer that death was not the focus of the fic, but feel free to reflect upon Diana's immortality.) 

 

I loved the girl squad throughline in season 2. I think there are interesting and different dynamics in each couple, and as a trio. I'd adore something comedic / in the tone of the show, but I'm also very interested in exploring the characters emotional depths if you're into it. 

 

Because, listen: I think Rebecca actually being a very deeply repressed and closeted lesbian/queer woman would be an amazing actual plot point in the show. It's hinted at enough (season 1 episode 2 and other Rebecca-->Valencia crush moments, also her mom keeps asking about it). It would also make sense as to why she puts so much pressure on a perfect relationship with a man as the thing that would make her normal. 

 

I also like to think Heather would know a lot about polyamory from psych classes or just being a hipster, so if you go with the triad I'd love to see it as a relationship more than a hookup. 

 

I have not seen the Defenders but if you need to include those events it's okay.

 

I'd love something relatively fluffy - I know they're fucked up people but they could still have good days. I'd also be open to something in their past or something entirely AU (but keeping the protectiveness/dependency/general vibe).
