Dear MCU AU Fest writer,

Thank you so much for writing for me! I really love AUs as a trope, both alternate settings and canon divergences, because it's such a great way to explore different possibilities for characters and relationships.

Something approaching canon characterization is important to me, though: even if they're not in exactly the same situation as in canon, hopefully the characters have the same motivations and personality. For example, even if they're not Asgardians, Loki and Thor should always be adopted siblings who grew up together and have lots of angst and family drama. Even if she's not an astrophysicist and works at an, idk, garden center, Jane Foster should be some kind of work-obsessed expert with crackpot theories.

General likes: forced proximity, curtain fic/domestic fic, hurt/comfort, apocalypse/post-apocalyptic fic, post-apocalyptic curtainfic (lol), open endings, family dynamics, traveling and/or road trips, sex pollen, Groundhog Day stories, slow burns, stories about friendship, friends-to-lovers, friends-to-FWB-to-lovers, teamfic, and ethical quandaries. Plus all of the AUs I've listed, lol.

General dislikes: straight-up non-con/rape, kid fic/next gen/pregnancy fic, on-screen wedding ceremonies or marriage proposals, soulmates/True Love, and sexual appearances by non-sexual bodily fluids (non-sexual appearances are fine, if that makes sense).

I have zero preferences about ratings; fics I read regularly run the gamut from G to E. I would be happy to receive porn with or without plot. I'm cool with violence and horror, too. I'm a sucker for all character studies.

For any fusion prompts, I don't expect the plot of the original to dominate, so don't worry if you can't make that work. I would be more than happy for any fics to be set in the Curse Workers/Inception worlds with original plots and characterizations.

Feel free to combine any of my prompts or play with them some. Consider them jumping off points, not strict mandates. :)

My letter is organized by pairing.

( Jane Foster/Loki )

( Loki/Melinda May )

( Bruce Banner/Natasha Romanov )

( Bruce Banner/Jane Foster )

I would also read anything, for any pairing, set in this gifset AU. I would also GIVE anything to read it.

Sorry I didn't put optional details in my sign-up - I meant to go back and edit but forgot.
