Not so much tumblr as I'm not over there much, but for LJ/DW I'd say Suits.

It was because of people talking about it I downloaded season one in the first place, and then I didn't watch for ages. Meanwhile people kept talking and eventually I cracked and thought, okay, I'm going to watch. And really enjoyed the show when I did.

7?

[turps]

I do!

It was Paris/Torres from Voyager. I was a huge P/T shipper, belonged to a mailing list and everything.

This was before I'd discovered slash but even so, while my Voyager ships expanded to Paris/Chakotay, Paris/Kim, I still loved Paris/Torres a whole lot.

16 and/or 21!

[turps]

AUs are my favourite!

*sits on hands until the urge to tell about another homeless story that includes hooker fic passes*

16 -- As it's you -- and me -- it's going to be Frank/Mikey.

Frank is the star of a travelling cookery show. In the show he travels around the US creating dishes in each new place. It's not a hugely successful show, Frank's no Jamie Oliver or Bobby Flay but he is starting to get noticed. So much so there's talk he's going to be invited on Iron Chef, which would be amazing!

The other four would be his support team. Bob on sound, Ray on camera, Gerard directing while Mikey does publicity, source ingredients etc. It's a job they all like, except as they're driving around the country in their Frank V US bus, Frank realises he's falling for Mikey.

Not that he's going to do anything about it. Starting something would be stupid when they're stuck together for months on end, plus, Mikey's never given any indication he wants more than to be Frank's best friend.

Needing distraction and unable to just go out and jam at the nearest dive, Frank cooks instead. BBQ on a makeshift grill at the side of the road. Cookies baked in the tiny bus oven. Fruit salads that he chops well into the night. Each time he tries to feed the stuff to Mikey, and sometimes he eats, sometimes he doesn't and sometimes Frank ends up sitting outside at night, eating a warm from the over cupcake and wondering what the fuck he's actually doing.

*___________* Ahh, that is so charming.

[turps]

It would be a story of love, pining, lots of sugar and Frank lamenting, but why won't he eat my food? D:

[isweedan]

Friends making a cookery show. TRAVELING ON A BUS. *_________*

[turps]

Frank would be such a great chef :D

[argentumlupine]

Aww, that sounds like it would be the most LOVELY story. *chinhands*

[turps]

Travelling the country in their bus. Frank trying to work out what to make at each stop, knowing he needs a dish to represent the area -- and telling everyone that no, pizzas may be sold at each stop but Frank's not cooking multiple kinds of pizza.

[glitteryv]

Hee. I've now come to believe that homeless hooker!fic with tons of h/c is your ultimate OTP. :P

Aww, maybe Mikeyway gets really nervous around Frank ('cause he's SO hot and awesome). So his stomach gets totally riot-y. It's not that he means to be cool and hot with Frank, it's just that, well, he doesn't want feel bleech-y after Frank feeds him his dishes.

I'd like to think that eventually Ray has a SRS BIZNESS conversation with Mikeyway (because Frank's sad to the point that the dishes aren't coming out right). Mikeyway tells Ray about his feelings for Frank. Ray talks to Gee (who talks to Frank).

Frank gets smallpox and Mikeyway's the only one who's been recently vaccinated. So he takes care of sick!Frank and, maybe, one night he tells Frank about how he feels (thinking that Frank's asleep only he ISN'T).

And then, there are mutual confessions and Frank/Mikekyway smooches when Frank's fever finally breaks.

You could be right! *g*

I have glee about your story idea. I especially like the smooches. Those fit in perfectly.

[turps]

21- This always changes. I have a group of stories I'm really proud of and I could pick any of them.

Today though, I'll say And the Embers Never Fade.

Which I feel bad about as it contains a pairing you don't like so I know you haven't read. Just, I really like the world I created and think that I managed to balance the gsf aspect well, and managed to get Bob as part of that group in a believable way.

[glitteryv]

Nah, don't feel bad. Though it's true that I've never read that one (and, most likely won't ever), that doesn't take away your feeling of accomplishment about what worked in that story. :)

#13?

[turps]

I have such a soft spot for the art squashabee created for my wave one last year.

While I love the Mikey/Pete ears scene, the Way hugs gets my heart always.

[turlough]

It totally figures that the day I decide to finally install a new OS and isn't online until late, there's a popular meme invading my reading list - I'll never catch up on you all :-)

I want to know about #14!

[turps]

Typical yeah? At least all you have to do is go around picking numbers :)

That's easy. Arsenicjade.

I have a lot of writers that I love but Arsenic is the one who always writes what and who I love the most. While my emotional connection is bandom, and therefore I love her bandom stuff the most -- the Avengers stories she's posting have the same kick to me. When yet again she writes the character I love best in situations I love most.

She's got this way with words that's beautiful to me, and the themes of her stories are ones I love beyond measure. Her stuff can get very hurt heavy at times, but the balance never seems off because for all the hurt there's comfort, and that sense that the person who features in the story has a place to call home.

I find it incredibly hard to pick a story I love most from her as there are many I love like burning and none that I think are bad. But if pushed. Light To Burn All the Empires is special because she took a situation I enjoyed reading about added in Mikey being cared about always by his brother, band and friends, and created a believable threesome on top. She's magic. I'll forever believe that.

[turlough]

I like some of Arsenic's work too but it's usually the ones that are least h/c-y :-)

[alpheratz]

Oops. 24!

[turps]

Well, in The Sentinel it was Jim/Blair. Though really, there wasn't much but Jim/Blair in that fandom.

Mutant X it was Brennan/Jesse.

While in popslash it was Chris/JC.
