Hello, and thank you for writing for me!

In general, I would prefer no romantic pairings at all, if you can help it. I much prefer platonic/familial relationships to anything else. If you feel like writing romantic for most of them, that's fine if it's the only way that you can do it, but PLEASE do not write romantic Seven/Ace or Twelve/Bill. Those two things are pretty much my only hard rule, actually. (Apart from: no sex/sexual situations, please!)

Don't try to second-guess yourself too much - just have fun with whatever you're intending to write about.

I like: body horror, loyalty, friendship, adventures, clever dialogue, adorable moments, platonic declarations of love, hurt/comfort, and happy endings! I also do not mind AUs.

Irving Braxiatel and Bernice Summerfield - (any era, any time. I particularly love the Dellah-era, pre-Collection, but I get that most people probably won't be familiar with this, so! Anything else would be equally wonderful. If you feel like making Braxiatel's motivations more dubious, that is absolutely fine by me, but some straight-up friendship/teamwork between them would not go amiss in the least.)

Seventh Doctor and Ace McShane - (I love these guys a lot. Just… everything about their relationship, Ace's story arc(s), their interactions, the explosions……. Yes. Yes.)

Seventh Doctor and Thomas "Hex" Schofield - (if you make this one romantic, I applaud you for being the bravest fucking being in the universe but also just friendship/them interacting with Possible Background Ace would be great.)

Seventh Doctor and Bernice Summerfield - (i feel like their friendship doesn't get explored all that often. Feel free to rectify that.)

Twelfth Doctor and Bill Potts - (mentor/student best friends in SPACE I loved series ten a lot and honestly I wish we had seen more stuff with them)

List of general things that I'd like to see with anybody (aka adventure tropes that I adore):

Roleswap AUs. The Doctor is the companion - the companion is the Doctor. Benny runs the Collection and Brax is an art collecting consultant who probably has a nefarious plan of some sort. There are a million ways you could take an AU like this.
Bank heist/casino heist/museum heist/just heists in general - what are they stealing? Why are they stealing it? Up to you. Bonus points if they dress up all fancy for the occasion and/or roleplay as a ridiculous character that they made for themselves the whole time. Even more bonus points for a chase scene at the climax.
Rescue missions - I don't really mind who's rescuing who, or why they're being rescued.
Mundane situations that are somewhat unusual for the characters in question - Braxiatel is losing (badly) at Monopoly. Team TARDIS is having a picnic somewhere nice with no aliens for once, or maybe attending a festival. The Doctor is committing tax fraud for some reason. (I was joking when I typed out that last one but now I'm oddly invested in it.)
Murder mysteries. My only weakness (actually, I have plenty of weaknesses so that's a lie. But this is definitely one of them). Just… murder mysteries. Yes.

But of course you don't need to use any of these - if none of my ideas catch your eye, go off and do your own thing (and for god's sake have fun with it!)

I hope you enjoy writing for me this year, and also hope you get an equally wonderful fic in return!
