Snowflake Challenge Day 6

Day 6

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts.

---

I want a Darcy story where Tony Stark adopts her because they both suffer from the after-effects of benign neglect. I want a story of maybe Tony teaching her that there's nothing wrong with being charmingly outrageous, but that she doesn't have to use that to deflect attention from the fact that she has feelings. I want to see two people who don't feel safe with feelings talk about why that is, about expecting the people who love you to ignore you unless you are entertaining. I want a story about Tony being a grown up, and Darcy being vulnerable about stuff that actually matters to her and not just performing vulnerability with stuff that's not that big a deal to her to appease someone because she thinks that's what they want. And I dont want to write it myself. Any of those things would be really lovely, if someone wants to write them.

I want more stories about women and nonbinary people, even if I do have to write them myself. I want more stories where non-men and non-white characters take center stage and get time to shine, have character development and get important narrative arcs. And I will darn well learn to write them because changing fandom's cultural tendency to focus on white dudes starts at home.
