convenientaliasHey writer! This is exciting! All of the fandoms I'm requesting in this exchange are relatively new to me, so I'm really psyched to see what you write! Especially since they're all so small lols.

Coriolanus
Tullus Aufidius/Caius Martius
Generally I love these two as archnemeses who are obsessed with each other and might maybe be able to be friends/lovers but also can't quite... keep the peace, you know? Like, they're bound for destruction sooner or later. Not that you need to reach that point within this fic!
Also Martius-Coriolanus' names confuse me. You can use whatever name for him you want, I'm going with Martius here bc that's what he's called in the tagset.
Some vague ideas:
-Aufidius and Martius having some conflicts while allies, either bc Martius keeps on stealing center stage or because they disagree on strategy or something else. Discussions get HEATED. Alternatively, Aufidius being miffed bc when Martius showed up he was like "I'm at your mercy" but he immediately becomes super in-charge and Aufidius is Into It but doesn't want to be, and kind of wishes Martius had stayed submissive a little longer... Conflicted feelings.
-Coriolanus says of Aufidius, "He is a lion that I am proud to hunt." AU where Aufidius is a fuckign lion shifter. I have no idea how this would affect the plot but who cares? Are all Volscians lion shifters or just Aufidius? Maybe Aufidius is the only lion shifter out there and it's semi-secret and everyone assumes Coriolanus either hallucinated or is being metaphorical when he talks about it. Do lion shifters have mates? Or, any other lion-related plotline lols.
-On the other hand, Aufidius says (when he still assumes they're gonna sack Rome), "When, Caius, Rome is thine, then art thou poor'st of all, then art thou mine." He's monologuing to himself and probably intends to kill Martius or some such thing but what if he meant something else? E.g. "that will be my chance to seduce you" or "then I'll make you my prisoner" or "then you'll be alone in the world so you'll be mine alone". I just love the ominous sexiness of that line ya know.
Henry IV
Prince Hal/Henry "Hotspur" Percy
These two are so fun! I love the contrast between Hal the inscrutable and Hotspur the very very scrutable. Hal, two-faced and crafty, and Hotspur, who can't hold a scheme together AT ALL but can still beat anyone in a fair fight... or so he thinks, but it turns out Hal can beat him at that too! I love how they casually insult each other when the other isn't around, but when they meet in battle, Hal actually has a lot of respect for Hotspur, and in the end Hotspur is forced to admit Hal's worth. THAT SAID. I am fine with this happening in an AU (as long as it's similar to the canon setting), pre-canon, post-canon in an AU where Hotspur is alive... just, make the sexual tension happen, you know.
Some vague ideas:
-For some reason I feel like this ship would be fun with magical stuff going on. Hotspur and Hal are soulmates or accidentally form a soulbond where they can't be more than a mile away from each other, ever! Glendower gets pissed, turns out to have magical powers, and turns Hotspur into a dog--who somehow ends up being adopted by Hal! Hal and/or Hotspur time travel and prevent the revolt from happening or otherwise try to mess with the timeline! Just, weird magic!
-Henry IV trying to use Hotspur to Reform Hal's Ways. Hal gets sent to stay at Hotspur's manor, or Hotspur is assigned as Hal's... manservant or something... obviously neither of them are happy about this! Is Hotspur successful in reforming Hal? Is Hal successful at corrupting Hotspur? Does it turn out that Hal really didn't need to be reformed in the first place and Hotspur becomes his biggest defender? Hmmmm (also just in general, Henry preferring Hotspur to Hal is a vibe.)
-Hotspur somehow survives the ending of the play. Is he in prison? On the run as an outlaw? Tentatively accepted back to court bc he somehow made up for his misdeeds? More importantly. How does he feel about Hal now that Hal has beaten him? Reluctant respect or incandescent fury at this dude who dared to defeat him despite being a lazy drunkard? Does he want a rematch, or is he now loyal to Hal? If he's in prison, does Hal visit him? If he's on the run as an outlaw, is Hal chasing him? If he's back in court, just how awkward are things with Henry IV these days?
The Servant (1963)
Hugo Barrett/Tony
I pretty much just watched this movie and it's so... cool. I love Barrett's manipulations, how you're never quite sure exactly how much of the situation is planned, how much he's sincere or how much he's lying. Like, is he into Tony or into using him? What the fuck was going on with Vera? Does he actually like being a servant or does he just see it as an opportunity to fuck shit up? And I love how Tony always sees Barrett half as his friend and half as lower than him, and then towards the end he sees Barrett as his better. Just, there's a lot going on here and none of it is good and I love all of it.
I have some vague ideas but in general anything where Barrett is manipulating or taking advantage of Tony is great. Incorporate Vera as you will; I'm more into Barrett/Tony than the three of them together, but she's certainly fun, so throw her in if you want.
The vague ideas:
-Maybe Barrett's POV of something going on in the movie? Like, I'd love to see his thought process when he gets Tony to take him back after firing him, and then slowly gets Tony to think of him as a friend. Or his initial impressions of Tony, his initial schemes of how he can take advantage of him. Or his hatred towards Susan, his quest to get Tony to split with her so that Barrett can have sole reign of the household!
-Tony's clearly rich, but how rich? I'd love to see Barrett getting something wildly luxurious, either as a gift from Tony or because he basically manages Tony's money now and can buy it for himself. Does Tony approve, or is he kind of like... Barrett, you're supposed to be poor, what's up with this?
-Susan attempts an intervention, maybe by calling the police or straight up dragging Tony out of the house. How does Tony feel? Does he want to be free of Barrett, or does he just want to be with Barrett all the time? And how do Tony and Barrett manage the situation so they can get back to their fucked up status quo?
-Hurt/comfort fic: Tony or Barrett having a cold from the wintery weather outside. Or something more serious--one of them getting attacked? Tony being heartbroken? Barrett being fake heartbroken but Tony totally falls for it bc he's a chump? Just some nice creepy h/c.
