[out_there]

Dear Author,

In general, I fall hard for particular characters and love seeing how they view their world. I like humour and happy endings, I like seeing how well people understand each other, and I'm honestly not terribly hard to please. These are the requests I asked for -- but if there's anything that I wasn't clear about, please ask.


RocknRolla - Archie, Handsome Bob

I do love a good Guy Ritchie crime caper, but my love for RocknRolla really revolves around two characters: Handsome Bob and Archy. I would love something featuring either of them (or both! But I'm trying not be too greedy -- with an original character or with anyone else, or without a pairing mentioned at all). Basically, I'd love them in any capacity. Archy serving time and finding his feet when he came back out of prison? Handsome Bob coming out when he was younger and dealing with friends' reactions? A heist that goes wrong or maybe one that goes right? Any excuse to spend time with either of those characters would be wonderful.


I was going to nominate Farscape as a second choice, but since I didn't read the challenge FAQ about nominating the pairing (for some reason, I'd assumed that could be done later - Oops) I can't nominate Scorpius/Braca. (They're the bad guys but I always found them fascinating and wish there was more output for them. I've written notes about shipping them. But it's done now.)

So, for a second choice, how about Hornblower (TV). Archie/Horatio, because Archie is an adorable and generous sweetheart and I love Horatio's over-achieving ways and well-hidden fear of heights. Show me them working together, or times Horatio struggled and needed Archie, or finding comfort on long, arduous journeys.


Sports Night - Dan/Casey

Dan/Casey are still my Sports Night OTP. Nothing in the world will convince me that these two didn't get together after the series ended and happily stayed together for decades afterwards. I love them bantering together, understanding each other even as they mock them.


The West Wing - Josh/Sam

Josh/Sam is an old OTP that became less and less believable as the show went on. (But, really, tell me that flashback didn't have potential?) If you can't write something about them, I'd love something about Sam because Sam was my guy on the show. I loved him wholeheartedly, his brilliant smarts and clumsiness and earnest belief in ideals and heartbreak as the world got messier and messier.
