Hello writer/s! I'm Lingua, and you can find me as linguamortua on the AO3.

General information

Things I like in fic: I am an avid consumer of darkfic; I read and write dubcon, manipulation, age differences, moral grey areas and dilemmas, power plays, secrets, lies, and messed up power dynamics. Plot twists, trope inversion and clever metatextual references are all great fun for me. Generally I prefer my fic to be canon-compliant or canon-adjacent.

Things I don't want to receive: pregnancy or mpreg, forced feminization, fluff, kidfic. I don't like anything which focuses on having or coping with a mental illness, especially depression, but realistic references to canon mental illness is fine. I'm not wild about M/f. More specifically: please, no pet names, aggressive verbal slurs or humiliation, medical kink or settings, lifestyle BDSM, polyamory, A/B/O, scat, watersports or incest.

Aubrey/Maturin series - Jack Aubrey/Stephen Maturin
Secret Relationship, Military Uniforms, First Time, Clothed Sex, Resolved Sexual Tension, Having to Stay Quiet/Quiet Sex, Guilt Over Desire Due to it Being Illegal or Immoral, Blow Jobs, Forbidden/Secret Relationships

For this pairing I would really like something canon-compliant. My favourite thing about the books is the attention to detail surrounding the time period, and particularly the boundaries of appropriate language, behaviour and friendship between the characters. I'm curious to know: what happens when Jack and Stephen realise that obviously Something Must Be Done about all the sexual tension. Who cracks first? Do either of them have relevant experience? Are they aboard ship or on land? What's the aftermath of their first time like? If that idea doesn't work for you, I'm interested in how they might pursue a secret relationship while adhering to the mores of the time. Or, what happens when Diana enters the picture? Does she catch on? Does she care?

Marvel Cinematic Universe - Frank Castle/Billy Russo
Lovers To Enemies, Enemies With Benefits, Spit As Lube, Rough Sex, Rough Sex to Stave Off Other Violent Urges, Choking/Asphyxiation, Forced Deepthroat/Choking on a Dick, Biting, Anal Sex, Hate Sex, Maybe-It's-Not-Hate-Sex Sex, Loyalty Kink, Dubiously Consensual, Loyalty Kink, Dubious Consent Due To Amnesia

This pairing is physically murdering me and also my emotions right now. I love how Frank is arguably the only person Billy is capable of caring about pre-season two. I love how they were besties and are now worsties. I love the weird way Ben Barnes opted to gaze adoringly at Jon Bernthal - me too, buddy, me too. A lot of my tags for this pairing are pretty brutal, but I would also enjoy a fic where the tensions between them in season one bubble to the top in ANY way. The contrast between how inseparable they used to be, and how sharply Frank's family's deaths drove them apart is a great storyline. (With that said, I struggled with a lot of season two, and if you matched with me on this pairing I would really appreciate if you tried to avoid as much of the 'facial disfigurement' storyline as possible. Sorry; I know this makes life hard but it's a personally tricky topic for me. Referencing his appearance is fine for me, but digging into the emotional impact is going to be very hard for me to read.)

Venom (2018) - Eddie Brock/Carlton Drake, Carlton Drake/Riot Symbiote
Mutual Aphrodisiac-Induced Dubcon, Sex Pollen, Tentacles, Object Insertion, Large insertions, Enemy Lovers, Anal Sex, Double Penetration, Sex as a Bargaining Chip, Sex as an Assertion of Dominance, Aliens Made Them Do It, Alien Gender/Sexuality, Xeno

Love me some sex pollen, and I think Eddie/Carlton might just be the perfect pairing for it! Pretty sure that neither of them would voluntarily get it on. In this situation, I don't mind if the symbiotes are present or not - writer's choice. It could easily be set pre-symbiotes. Canon sets us up nicely for this pairing; I'm interested to see what you choose to do. We have an awful lot of Eddie/Venom fic out there, so what does weird tentacle sex look like for Carlton and his new best alien buddy? Has Carlton had the time or interest in flings and romance before? Does Riot change that? Or is Carlton a certified slut trying to persuade his ultra-focused evil alien symbiote to give it to him? Is one of them manipulating the other? Is it even consensual? I LEAVE ALL THS UP TO YOU.

Fandoms and pairings:

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Brock Rumlow/Jack Rollins

This should be a slam dunk for you because I do love a good old-fashioned hatefucking dynamic. My AO3 is only a click away if you need a sense of what I like for Hydra husbands. Short of gore, there's really nothing too gross for these boys to do to each other, with the obvious exceptions of my DNWs. I always adore an undercurrent of unrequited feelings especially when those feelings have to be kept secret for Bad Hydra Reasons. Canon - what we have of it - is important for me in this pairing. They really inhabit this straitjacket of military masculinity and what I like is when that gets disrupted by their feelings (antagonistic or romantic) for one another. Fighting as foreplay, dubious/un-negotiated fuckery, threats of further violence, wilfully degrading each other - it's all good.

Luke Cage
Shades Alvarez/Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes
Shades Alvarez/Darius 'Comanche' Jones

I do like a good sinister, lurking henchman. Shades particularly intrigues me because he's in a curious position relative to Stokes, with an element of power via a shadowy master. There have been some great fics bouncing off the end of season 2 with Shades and Mariah, and what all my favourite fics have in common is showing how Shades might be willing to temporarily subordinate himself to someone for an advantageous position later in the game.

What does Stokes want from Shades, and what price will Shades exact for it?
Or, conversely, what might Shades have to do in order to get close to Stokes?
Can Shades serve two masters without getting found out?
I'd also be interested in a fic where Shades plays Mariah and Stokes off against one another.

I was amazed by the Shades/Comanche storyline. Like, staring-at-my-screen-with-mouth-open amazed. If you're so inspired, tell me about their relationship. How it begins, how they maintain it in prison, how it ends. I'd also love an alternate path, where Shades has to juggle Mariah and Comanche at the same time, without Mariah finding out. I guess my overwhelming question with Shades is, is he secretly a deeply empathetic and easily-romanced person in the Wrong Job, or does he habitually sexually manipulate people of all genders to get what he wants? Or both?!

The Punisher
Frank Castle/Billy Russo
There was never any hope for me with this wretched TV series. Frank and Billy have some really great dynamics that I would love to see you explore:

Loyalty and betrayal
Past history (exactly how much time do they spend dicking each other down in the Middle East? - please advise)
Their relationship with Curtis
What would have happened had Frank left the Marine Corp when Billy did? What if they were business partners?
What would have happened if Frank had taken up Billy's offer of making him disappear?
And all porn is good porn, let's be honest

For this pairing in particular, I would really like to pretend that the season finale doesn't exist. I found it kind of dispiriting; facial deformity as a signifier of evil is very uncomfortable for me. Let's keep Billy pretty for now :)

Fury
Norman "Machine" Ellison/Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis
Boyd "Bible" Swan/Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis

I have no excuse. If you're reading this letter to actually write either of these pairings: bless you, you are a hero of our times. I would like to see fic for these pairings that is reasonably canon-compliant, or at least situationally believable - please, no AUs. The great strength of the film was its grit and authenticity, and I enjoyed the interpersonal and group dynamics of the tank crew in that context too much to disrupt it.

Boyd and Grady have a really fascinating relationship, in that there's this deep, intimate brotherhood going on. Fic about them wouldn't have to be sexual, but they definitely have a unique bond that is clearly signposted by both the actors. Why did the deeply religious dude and the anarchic, badly-behaved loader end up arguably the closest of all the crew?

Grady and Norman is just, you know, this gross thing I have. I'm not sure what I want with it, but I do know that Norman would be an amazing target for a loose cannon like Grady. Hazing the new boy?

Ex Machina
Ava/Kyoko
Ava & Kyoko

I've embarked on a one-woman quest to write, or cause to be written, as much about Ava and Kyoko as I can. Especially Kyoko. I would be really interested in any headcanons you want to bring to the table and expand, to be honest with you! The less directly the story deals with Nathan and Caleb, the better. They got their two hours in the movie, you know? I do absolutely see these two as having a sexual or romantic element to their relationship, but I could just as easily enjoy a story about them living, scheming or recreating together.

The 100
Marcus Kane/John Murphy

Full disclosure: I never watched past the end of season two. This is one of the rare times when an AU might work for me! I recall watching this and being delighted by a) how ridiculous it was and b) the infinite smut potential of Jackbooted Space Thugs vs Feral Teens. Never did get around to writing fic, but I was recently inspired by a Kane/Murphy fic and decided to throw this out into the universe!

Tropes and ideas that would be fun for these two:

Inadvisable dating choices regarding age gaps and power
Something where Kane is required to discipline Murphy (this would work well in-universe, I think)
Murphy knows a secret about Kane and is willing to blackmail him
A story where Kane is unsubtly attracted to Murphy, and Murphy knows he has all the power

Call Me by Your Name

Elio/Oliver

I was so taken with how sensuous and patient this film was, and how well it captured the unspeakable nightmare of being seventeen. What a great adaptation of a great book. One thing I especially enjoyed was Elio's teenage tendency to treat Oliver appallingly because he couldn't work out how to deal with him. The physicality of both Oliver and Elio is lovely, too - there are times when they shove each other and wrestle that you're reminded that Oliver is really not past that kind of rough-housing play either.

What would I like in a fic? Both the book and film were very much from Elio's perspective, so something that tells us what Oliver was thinking would be brilliant. Alternatively, take Elio's basically non-stop internal monologue and run with it. For this pairing, I am not really fussy about whether or not penetration happens. If it does, a first-time fic could be neat. More generally speaking, I love me an overwhelmed twink who doesn't know what to do with himself. I would be crazy about a fic where they have to be very quiet while having sex. I would also love anything in which Elio realises that what he thinks are horrible perversions are actually quite commonplace (Oliver: that's hilarious, have you ever thought about this). Also: dirty talk would be just great for this pairing.

Return to Night - Mary Renault

Hilary Mansell/Julian Fleming

Julian is kind of obnoxious but so wretchedly adorable. I crave fic that makes him suffer in some way, or in which Hilary deliberately keeps him off-balance. Although the fic is set in an historical period where Hilary, as a doctor, is an anomaly among women, I think her age and experience gives her power over him and I would welcome any fic that explored that. I do dearly love F/m and he's kind of the perfect candidate.

Silence (2016)

Cristóvão Ferreira, Francisco Garrpe, Kichijiro, Sebastião Rodrigues

Past letters will tell you that I love this movie for the religious and physical suffering and the general sense of futility. Tropes or themes I would love to see in this:

A fic set when Rodrigues and Garrupe first met, or when they were back in Portugal.
A story that shows their relationship with Ferreira.
Ferreira has always liked one of them more than the other.
An alternate story where they escape.
Losing or regaining faith.
Anything that expands on Kichijiro and his strategy for handling the Jesuits

Luke Cage

Cornell Cottonmouth Stokes, Darius "Comanche" Jones, Mariah Dillard, Shades Alvarez

Venom (Movie 2018)

Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote

Seeing the film threw me back about ten years when I got briefly into one of the unfortunately less sexy comic book runs. Wow, this is a great pairing. I'm a darkfic kind of gal, so if that's your bag then go nuts with this pairing. If not, PWP is always great, particularly if weird alien tentacle freakiness or a sex pollen type vibe is something you'd write. Otherwise - surprise me! Y'know, just fuck me up.

Fandoms & Prompts

Silence

Francisco Garrupe/Sebastião Rodrigues

Religious suffering is a whole delicious genre for me. Obviously they are unworldly Jesuit boys who've trekked halfway around the world to find Daddy their mentor figure, and they get real close along the way. Tropes or themes I would love to see in this:

A fic set when they first met, or when they were back in Portugal.
A story that shows their relationship with Ferreira.
Ferreira has always liked one of them more than the other.
An alternate story where they escape.
Losing or regaining faith.

Overwatch

Junkrat/Roadhog

Real talk: both of these guys are horrible people and I would prefer a fic that kept them both that way. If you can't make yourself write them as Bad, I would rather not read anything fluffy. For something less shippy, their thieving, exploding backstory would be a lot of fun! Or, it would be interesting to see how the other members of Overwatch view them, and tolerate them, out in the field.

Now that we have new canon about the Queen of Junkertown and Junkertown's arena, a fic about that could be cool.

Solo: A Star Wars Story

Qi'Ra/Dryden Vos, Lando Calrissian/Han Solo

Special note here: if you're going to write Qi'Ra/Dryden Vos, it would be super important to me to avoid M/f. Femdom is all good. Something about Qi'Ra's elusive backstory would be great, or jobs she's done as Vos's lieutenant. Why does he trust her? What did he see in her initially?

I love anything Han/Lando, so you know. Like, anything.

Request 1 - Star Wars Original Trilogy

Han Solo/Lando Calrissian

I'm just buzzing from the Solo movie with these two flirting the whole way through their little adventure. I adore the dynamic between these two, in which Han is always a bit prickly and a human disaster, and Lando transcends into a handsome, well-put together adult with, like, a shoe rack and a special pair of moustache scissors. I've been thinking about:

A story that expands on their first meeting
A heist story of some kind - especially one that goes wrong
Han and Lando flying together for a while
What if Han tries to go legitimate when Lando does?
Han's the jealous type, I think
Anything in which Han ruthlessly sabotages all of his shots at happiness

Request 2 - Silence

One of them is more experienced than the other
The classic shame wank :)
Ferreira has always liked one of them more than the other

Request 3 - Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

Cardinal/Armitage Hux

My thoughts on this pairing are a bit unformed; all I know is that I love the fleeting glimpses of humanity in Cardinal that are not at all evident in Hux. I'm interested in a story that has Hux exploiting that humanity for his own purposes. As there's practically no fic out there about these two, I'd invite you to write the story that you want to see in the world, I guess? I do like my bad guys to be bad, though, if that helps constrain it.

Fandoms & Prompts

Dredd
Cassandra Anderson/Madeline Madrigal

What appeals to me about this pairing is the possible character readings. Cassandra, by dint of her particular gift, is more worldly than she seems. Ma-ma, one could argue, goes rogue following lengthy victimisation. I'm interested in the moral shades of grey to be unpacked. A story with these two doesn't have to include sex, but it might be a cool dynamic. Some ideas:

The hostage situation goes down very differently to the film. Does Cassandra bargain her way out instead of shooting her way out? Does she succumb to Stockholm Syndrome? Perhaps, believing she's failed to become a Judge, she entertains a better offer.
What if Anderson is the drug boss and Ma-Ma the trainee Judge?
Anderson lost her parents, and Ma-ma knows how it happened.

The Handmaiden
Hideko/Sook-hee

My precious girls! If you can write anything canon-verse, I will be in awe of you. I was thrilled by the happy ending of this movie, and would like any fic I receive for this match to be similar. Ideas:

After the end of the movie, Hideko and Sook-hee continue to be a pair of genius thieves and scammers.
Or, Hideko prefers a quiet, unassuming life; Sook-hee craves wealth and power.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
Amanda Brotzman/The Rowdy 3

If you match on this, then you are a unique unicorn of a human and I love you. Please let my best girl Amanda have four cute boyfriends who bang her in an unhygienic weirdo van. I just want her to have fun with her dudes. I'm hoping that looks like extremely enthusiastic sex (waive, please, my love of darkfic for this match), but if that doesn't work for you then 'fun' can look however you want it to look... preferably anarchic.
