3, 12 and 21 for the fic meme!
12. Is there a trope you havenāt written yet but really want to?
Oh heck yes, so many! I havenāt written fake dating yet or arranged marriage/marriage of convenience and Iād love to do both of them. I honestly canāt believe Iāve never actually written those! Iād also like to do a real long-running enemies-to-reluctant allies-to-lovers with every single trope along the way. And I really really want to write a spy adventure romance story.
21. What is the one fic that got away?
The one fic that got away!?
a) A Doctor Who/Harry Potter trilogy set after HBP and S02. The basic premise is that the universe Rose gets trapped in is the HP universe and magic and whatever is in the time vortex are the same thing and Roseās Bad Wolf powers have made her a witch. She ends up meeting the golden trio and they try to find a way to break through the universes to reunite her with the Doctor, made all the more urgent when it becomes clear that Voldemort has a new army of mechanical pepperpots... They try the spell but it goes wrong and Hermione ends up trapped in the other universe, left to find the Doctor with no magic to help her.Ā
b) A long Charles/Mary Downton fic in which she goes to Poland. Never got many details in my mind and the fact Iāve never been to Poland would have made things tricky but it would have been cool to explore post-S03 Mary in an interesting way and with the depth I explored her earlier. I really like sending her abroad, donāt I?
c) A one-shot Reylo canon-verse fic after TLJ in which Rey and Ben meet in a club on Tatooine and dance to electric swing music and contemplate balance in the Force. Might still write it one day but it feels kind of pointless now.
d) Reylo James Bond/Alias inspired spy AU. I have a lot of that mapped out and actually most of the first chapter done. I think it would be a really cool fic and itās exactly what I want to write but... eh... IDK. It would be a (short) trilogy with a focus on glamorous travel, gadgets, implausible but sexy costume changes and shocking revelations rather than angsty and gritty realism and calledĀ āFrom the First Order with Loveā.
New recruit Rey Johnson earned her Licence to Kill when a great betrayal rocked MI6 leaving many dead and the organisation changed forever. Five successful years later, she is trying to bring down the shady First Order conglomerate, when she starts to hear chatter of a new terrorist group of masked vigilantes that could link to the traitors of five years ago, in particular her mysterious predecessor, the agent who was Agent 001 before her.
