Rare Pairs Letter 2023

I’ve listed my general likes and DNWs at the end as well as in my signup.
Jem and the Holograms
Clash/Raya, Clash/Jetta (fic)
Please give her a Misfit or Hologram girlfriend. Jetta because she’s also awesome and hilarious and got to be a new Misfit when Clash didn’t and that’s all kinds of fun mixed feelings. Raya because she’s a sweetheart and the only non-sister in the Holograms, and Clash saved her life in Video Wars and destroyed her chance to belong to the Holograms by fruitlessly running after the Misfits again and… yeah, heartbreaking.
Please make my favourite destructive, spoiled, mistress of disguise groupie happy, and let her have a kiss (or more).
Source: It’s all on Youtube. It’s three seasons of 23 min Saturday morning cartoon episodes (with songs) about Jerrica, who runs a band called the Holograms consisting of her sisters (foster and otherwise) and fronted by mysterious singer Jem… herself, thanks to the supercomputer she inherited from her dad.
Key episodes to get accelerated characterisation:
Clash, the ascended fangirl of the “baddies” the Misfits (they’re not so bad), gets a lot of her key characterisation in Father’s Day and Video Wars – the most essential episode I would say, her last speaking role episode. Last Resorts is a pretty typical early episode in showing Clash’s usefulness to the Misfits.
Malory Towers - Enid Blyton (fic)
Bill/Clarissa (fic)
Secret relationships at achool, figuring out the true nature of their feelings together either at school or on the hols or in their own cottage, dealing with Clarissa’s family expectations, hurt/comfort… really anything delights me if these two get to be in love, together, and kiss (or more).
If you go for “or more”, please set it when they are sixteen or older.

These are mid-century boarding school books. All six books are all available for free on The Faded Page. They are short reads aimed at tweens (not a word then, I know.)
Bill doesn’t arrive until Third Year at Malory Towers. The Hon. Clarissa Carter arrives in Upper Fourth, and that’s when they form their inseparable friendship—I’d say that is the only essential book for the pairing. After that, neither girl gets much focus—they have some scattered cute/shippy moments in In the Fifth and the very beginning of Last Term has them announcing they have planned their future together.
Good Omens Unproduced Movie Script - Neil Gaiman (fic)
Aziraphale/Crowley (fic)
I’m going to get this out right away: I adore Movie Script Crowley, rude and incompetent and self-deluding and cowardly and ultimately brave snake that he is. He’s under a lot of pressure, okay? Satan is personally interested. And the way he tries so hard to be, well, hard, and still gives into Aziraphale all the time delights me.
A demon doesn’t play weekly games of checkers with a “saccharine angel” for six thousand years without being at least a little under the angelic thumb, is what I’m saying.
I’m just desperate for more fic where they actually end up together and in love, without movie!Crowley portrayed as abusive or a rapist. I don’t require Whipped!Crowley, but I am not averse to it, either.
Canon-specific DNW: actually!abusive Crowley.

This was a never produced script written on spec by Neil Gaiman, and described by him as having barely a thought or line from the book remaining. That’s really quite accurate, it’s very much what Gaiman thought a family-friendly, American-friendly Good Omens in 1992 would be like, with some odd darkness around Adam and Madam Tracy, but I love it anyway. You can download it here.
Disney Dreamlight Valley (Video Game)
Mother Gothel/Ursula (art)
This is something I really want fanart for! I love the interactions between these two and the way they seem to have become the only one each other actually likes in the Valley. I just love them.
Also I am really into pairings where one half is very thin and the other is fat, it’s just pleasing (and hot) to me.
I am open to any style (I am not great at art prompts, and I do apologise), but please keep it pretty SFW. (I know that might be disappointing due to the tentacles, sorry). I just want to see my lovely witches as a couple, being all evil and into each other. It’s fine to include any other DDV characters.

The video game is currently on open access and Xbox Pass, but honestly it takes hours of play to get small key moments with those two. Basically the versions of the characters in the video are slightly cuddlier (and alive) versions of their Disney aniomated movie selves, who hang out in the village with other Disney characters (including Ariel and Eric, awkward.) This seems to be a playthrough of the quest that establishes their friendship.
