Pick a trope from this list and provide a fandom/pairing and I’ll tell you something about the story I’d write for that combination (i.e. write a snippet from the story or write not!fic or tell you the title and summary for the story I would write)

bodyswap
pretending to be married/fake dating
high school/college AU
telepathy
handcuffed together
snowed-in
next-door neighbors AU
secretly a virgin
be careful what you wish for
accidental baby acquisition
truth or dare
sharing a bed
road trip
groundhog’s day/time travel
curtain fic/domestic fic

You know my fandoms, I think, flist, even if I haven't posted fic in ages, and have been writing nothing but Trek recently oops. (I have started writing so many of these already haha.)

PS: I am soooooooo booooooooored. Fie on study skills lectures. Help?

Aaaah, okay, these are all great. I do love me some tropes.

Snowed in: I think I would have to go EMH-verse for this one, because I actually ship Clint/Steve pretty hard in that verse *shrugs* I'm thinking they're scouting for information somewhere in Europe when a blizzard hits and they take refuge in a little cabin somewhere (of course!) and Clint is unexpectedly the one who is actually useful and he makes smartass comments and gets a fire going and kind of privately eyerolls/victory dances at being Better Than Captain America at something, except then he suddenly realises why Steve might be a bit freaked out at being trapped somewhere cold with white starting to creep up over the windows, and so he spends the rest of the night and morning until they can get out doing his level best to distract Steve with terrible jokes and ridiculous anecdotes (which Steve has a horrible feeling are all true) and from that day on they're closer in a way that makes everyone else on the team exchange curious looks.

Next-door neighbour AU: Ahh, okay, so I know it says AU, but I think if I was going to go for a neighbours vibe for them, I would probably have it in canon, with them adjusting to living in the tower post-movie. Because I imagine that there's a lot of tension between them, Bruce because of how things began, and then how they continued, and Natasha because I imagine she has some difficulty reconciling Bruce and Hulk, like I think she could deal fine with either one, but it's the dissonance of both of them. And so at first everything is tense (well, as tense as it gets with two such self-contained people), but they gradually find all these things they have in common - they like the same tea, they do the same yoga, they have a weakness for the same terrible TV shows they would never admit to another soul. And so gradually they become really good friends and probably have accidental sleepovers and the rest of the team (okay, mainly Clint and Tony) are just DYING to ask why the hell they're always appearing from each other's rooms early in the morning but Bruce mutters about feeling angry and Natasha gives Clint the look, and then she and Bruce smirk at each other over their organic museli, and everybody else quietly fears for their lives. And then they kiss. Probably.

Be careful what you wish for: Oooh, yes yes yes. This one is just screeeeaming out for some kind of Freaky Friday type thing where they're in the middle of a battle and they actually manage to derail it with their bickering and "You have NO IDEA how much I contribute to this team" "Oh you're one to talk! All you do is - " "I hate you so much right now!" ""I WISH YOU KNEW WHAT IT WAS LIKE"" so Villain Of The Day (necessarily Loki, Amora, Doom or someone else with magical abilities) gets frustrated at their limelight being stolen and BAM bodyswap, and they have a very sudden, very immediate lesson in what it's like to be each other. They manage to survive the battle, because both the Iron Man armour and Steve's body pretty much run themselves these days, but then they have to deal with the day-to-day until they can get it fixed. I think the thing that would surprise them both most is how other people react to them. And then they kiss. Pretty definitely. Oh, and swap back at some point, oops. *handwave*

..oops, too long for 1 comment. TBC!

Snowed-In: this is pretty much exactly what I picture when I picture them in this type of situation (and come on, that scene in EMH when Clint is going to shoot the apple in the obstacle course and Cap is all 'I haven't seen you miss yet, I don't expect you to start now' - they're totally going at it in the showers).

Next-Door Neighbors: I can actually really see them like this. They would have SO MANY sleepovers. Their shared smirks would be terrifying. And kissing would be awesome.

Careful What You Wish For: That's why I had to suggest that pairing. Either they're fighting and BAM! magic fix, or they're lovers and magic mess-up. The kiss should be the trigger for how they change back, like they've learned to appreciate each other and come to care for each other and can express that in such a pure way.....
