Last Minute Sub Letter

raumdeuterGeneral Likes: Magical/fantasy/magical realism AUs, historical AUs, sci-fi AUs, apocalypse AUs, fandom fusions. I love fics that start off with a foot in reality-- where everyone is still footballers to begin with before shit starts going down (in the vein of, say, everyone plays at Bayern and then kaiju attack!).
Other things I love: friends to lovers, soulbonding, bodyswap, wingfic, sex pollen, fuck or die, pwp, xeno, tentacles. Generally speaking, I prefer third person POV, past or present tense, and anything from gen to smut is A++ by me, so please don't feel obligated to write either!
DNWs: A/B/O, kidfic, pregnancy fic (including mpreg), noncon (dubcon is fine, though!), underage, permanent character death, scat, downer endings, evil WAGs (I'm okay with universes where WAGs conveniently don't exist or are beards or in open relationships or whatever), school/high school/college AUs, World War II AUs, issuefic. I'm not super big on mundane AUs (e.g. coffeeshop, bakery) unless only one person in the ship works in the coffeeshop or bakery and the other is still a footballer.
1. Gigi Buffon/Juventus FC (Northendgirls's Champions League Drawings)
Let me be the first to admit that I don't go here and my soft spot for Juve is e n t i r e l y based on the fact that everyone in Juve is hot.
Now that we've got that out of the way, I love everything about the concept of team gijinkas (am I some kind of Hetalia trash deep down? I'll never tell!) and I feel like there's so much potential for fics where they interact with the footballers who play for them. I'm sure they'd have special relationships with the players who've been there longer than anyone else, whether that's one-club men or just guys who've been there so long they might as well be one-club men. I'd love to see something about the kind of relationship Gigi and Juve would have, because I'm sure it's a strong one. I'm also interested in anything that fleshes out this world a little more. Does Juve play favorites? How much say does she have in the running of her club?
Some prompt ideas:
-Gigi and Juve through the years: the first time he met her, the Calciopoli scandal, and everything else.
-Actually maybe even just focus on the Calciopoli scandal. Did she expect him to leave her after she was relegated to Serie B? Was she surprised when he and Del Piero stayed? What happened after?
-The reason everyone in Juve is hot is because Gigi and Juve go through all the available players every transfer window and pick the hottest ones. Feel free to combine this one with 5 re: Sami Khedira, who was already hot before but, unbelievably, became instantly and unfairly hotter after his arrival at Juve. Other faces I wouldn't mind seeing in this: Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio, Paulo Dybala, Paul Pogba.
2. Miroslav Klose/Lukas Podolski
It's hard for me to remember a time when I didn't ship Polish bros. I love literally everything about their dynamic--their familiarity with each other, their shared experiences in club and country, the contrast in their personalities between the ever-cheerful king of social media and the quietly sarcastic hermit. I also love the way their stories diverge--how Miro has always seemed so in charge of his own fate, regardless of public opinion, and Poldi is so much less so. Anyway, I'd like literally anything with these two--canon setting, AU, anything.
Some prompt ideas:
-Pacific Rim AU! They weren't intending to enlist, maybe, but they're just so damn drift compatible they can't not go out and fight.
-Zombie apocalypse AU where they wind up holed up in the same safehouse or something?
-I'm not even gonna lie, I love me some Miro whump, so feel free to put him through the wringer as long as he makes it out okay on the other side.
3. Michael Ballack/Alexi Lalas
I fell in love with Ballalas and their married bickering over the course of Euro 2012 and I'm still not over them. I had a lowkey crush on Micha as a kid and I love their dynamic of like...battle-weary exasperated stoic veteran vs. That Upstart American. It's great. The rest of the ESPN crew is totally welcome as well (I especially love Taylor Twellman's enthusiastic teenage crush on Micha-senpai), and please feel free to pretend Alexi didn't leave everyone for FOX!
Some prompt ideas:
-Culture clash/language differences/comedy of errors where one of them can't figure out whether the other is actually flirting or not.
-Gay chicken that inevitably ends up in supply closet sex.
-Hogwarts AU where they're both Gryffindors in the same year and can't fucking stand each other.
-Trapped in a snowstorm/huddling for warmth/shipwrecked on an island? Anything where they're forced to work together under unpleasant circumstances.
4. Xabi Alonso/Philipp Lahm
I love Xabi’s weird mercenary relationship with Bayern as compared to his stints at Liverpool and Madrid. I know by now not to fall for his proclamations of love, I know he’s really only here for a change of pace, and yet somehow every time I see him wearing our kit and interacting with the dyed-in-the-wool Bavarians like Thomas and Philipp, my heart grows three sizes. As much as I love Gerlonso (and I do, I do), I'm really interested in a fic that explores how Xabi's adjusted to Bayern and his teammates here specifically.
Basically I love the dynamic of Xabi/Philipp and everything that can be done with their ideas of a footballer's relationship to his team. Philipp, for all of his ambition and drive and willingness to stir up the pot, is absolutely devoted to Bayern, which makes for such a nice contrast for career mercenary Xabi. And we all know about Xabi and his thing for one-club men. Anyway, they're both distinctly Slytherin, but in such different ways, and I'd love to see some fic comparing and contrasting their ideas of success and loyalty.
Some prompt ideas:
-Harry Potter AU where they're actual Slytherins!
-Something set during Xabi's first Oktoberfest? I don't know, he went all out with the Gamsbart on his hat and I just really want to see him have some kind of conversation with Fips about trying too hard to fake his loyalty, or maybe trying exactly hard enough. Or maybe he was out to win Fips's approval to begin with. Who are you kidding, Xabi.
-I'm also here for Pep/Xabi and/or Pep/Fips, so what the hell, throw him in there for extra opportunities for career advancement.
5. Gigi Buffon/Sami Khedira
Don't look at me, I just want it for aesthetic reasons. And also this gifset.
Some prompt ideas:
-Gigi ~welcomes Sami to Turin, gives him the tour, that sort of thing. If you know what I mean.
-Post-Euros consolation sex!
-Feel free to combine this with any of the Northendgirls prompts in 1! I'm 120% here for Gigi/Sami/Juve sandwich. Maybe it's a team initiation thing.
Other things I love: friends to lovers, soulbonding, bodyswap, wingfic, sex pollen, fuck or die, pwp, xeno, tentacles. Generally speaking, I prefer third person POV, past or present tense, and anything from gen to smut is A++ by me, so please don't feel obligated to write either!
