Falling Stars

Works are revealed for the Just Married Exchange! Very excited to receive an awesome Mandalorian story from my writer.

Title: This is How You Rise to Honor
Fandom: The Mandalorian
Relationships: Din Djarin/Bo-Katan Kryze
Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Captivity, Rescue, Battle Couple
Rating: General Audiences
Summary: If she were to be kidnapped, it should at least be on her own merits, and not as some kind of side-kick to her husband.

I loved Din and Bo-Katan's dynamic on the show, and I loved seeing how they might match up in a political marriage, with badassery and unexpected feelings. Thank you so much, dear writer!

A total of 100 works in 74 fandoms.

The story I wrote for celaenos was:

Title: Flying Into Your Arms
Fandom: Thor (Movies)
Relationship: Valkyrie/Jane Foster
Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Fake Marriage for PR Reasons, Royalty, Falling In Love, Post-Avengers: Endgame (Movie)
Rating: General
Summary: Valkyrie proposes to Jane. Everything else comes after.

Thank you again to misura for sweeter than cake and Always Bet on Purple. Two (wedding) cakes! I feel so lucky. (Merlin and Luke ought to get married more often.)

Dear Just Married Writer,

Thank you so much for offering to write a story for me! I love all these fandoms, and the tropes I've nominated, and I'm really keen to see what you do in them! I've also provided some extra prompts in case you're looking for inspiration, but I'd also love to see whatever other ideas capture your imagination.

For me, it's about the characters and their interactions. I'm not a stickler about researching canon details, as long as the spirit of the characters and the flavour of their world is there. I want to see adventures that might have been, or missing moments from between scenes, or a slice of their daily lives, or where the future might take them.

LIKES: Some of the things I enjoy in stories are: undying loyalty, personal bravery, risking self to protect others, displaying cool competence, big damn hero moments, special everyday moments, banter, hijinks, confessions exposing emotional vulnerability, conversations loaded with unspoken meaning, tough people showing a soft side, and soft people showing a tough side. Some of my favourite tropes and genres are: amnesia, angst with a happy ending, animal transformation, arranged marriage, bodyswap, cosmic horror, curtainfic, five things fic, getting together, hurt/comfort, mutual requited pining, mystery solving, road trips, sex pollen, slice of life, stranded together, and time travel.

DISLIKES: I generally prefer optimistic stories in exchanges, so I'm not keen on anything that is brutally violent or hopelessly bleak. However, I don't mind darkness during the story, as long as there is a glimmer of light at the end. Endings that are bittersweet or ambiguous are also fine.

DO NOT WANT: Noncon or dubcon, underage, bleak endings, crossovers, setting change AUs like high school, coffee shop, or omegaverse (but canon divergence AUs are fine).

RATING: I'm fine with explicit sex, but it's usually not the most important part of the story for me.

STYLE: I'm fine with first, second, or third person. I'm fine with past or present tense. I'm fine with stories of any length, including stories that start in media res or consist of a scene that implies a larger plot.

INTERACTIVE FICTION: I like interactive fiction and would welcome it.

I've listed more details under each individual request.

I hope this helps. Have fun writing!

Yours sincerely,

meteordust
