5th Dec: My fic unicorn

[bluflamingo]

karmageddon asked me: What's your fic unicorn--the story you would read the hell out of if only it existed?

My dream fic would include...
- A friends with benefits relationship between two good friends who aren't in love with each other, aren't pining, and don't wind up in an in-love relationship - but care for each other a lot
- A focus on the background, day-to-day stuff
- Close male/female friendships with lots of history
- Queer communities, where the main couple have other gay friends, and a sense of being embedded in that community. Or at least a sense that they're not the only gay people ever to exist
- Bisexual characters who are actually bisexual not bi as a way to explain how they've always dated the other sex and now are seeing someone of the same sex
- Characters making decisions and having those respected, even if they're not objectively the best decisions
- Kittens, especially people being turned into kittens or finding abandoned kittens
- Hugs and hand-holding
- Magic

I'm not sure that really makes for a story, but I would love to find one that had all of that. Though I did get a gift fic that was pretty close in the last Avengers Fest (recced a few posts back). If it'd had kittens, it would have ticked every box here.

Yeah, I would totally read that. And now I need to look for that fic you are talking about.

I love it. I would read that too. Especially the bisexual thing.

Oh my god characters not respecting other characters decisions, I always threaten to condense all my disabled rage over that one and post it to my journal. But I never do. One of my unicorn tropes would have to be characters setting firm boundaries, which is not unrelated. :)
