Amy's Free Library of Rock!

Note on DNWs: "Smut" is the one across the board, so I've included it as my DNW even for stories that are not likely to tempt smut writing in the first place. I've also included "angst/hurt-no-comfort" as a DNW on the Legion one, since Legion storylines do have a lot of potential to be sad, but in this case, I want happy!

But, like I said, I know it's unlikely that anyone else has picked that to write about.

Luckily, I spotted Sal and Gabi Break the Universe in the Tag Set. Mijos, I freaked. My favorite middle-grade novel of the past decade! One I had even somewhat randomly shouted out to in the "Guide to Writing the Loudermilk Twins" I already linked to above! It hadn't even occurred to me that someone might have written Sal and Gabi fic! That I could get a taste of Sal's deliciously enthusiastic storytelling and absurd multiverse-jumping plotlines somewhere else now that I even took the trouble to track down Carlos Hernandez's book of grownup short stories through interlibrary loan just because I heard grown-up Sal was in one (GABI, as it turns out, is in SEVERAL, though she's spelling her name "Gabby" in the future, apparently. Or, in that universe. You know how it goes)!

So if you can give me some Sal and Gabi crack (I mean, though, what's "crack" in other fandoms is basically canonical for Sal and Gabi), I will squeal just as loudly as I would have to read a Loudermilk-fic-I-didn't-write-myself!

I do have a "romance" DNW on them as well. I mean, Sal IS canonically ace and as a fellow aspec I respect that.

Going through the Tag Set alphabetically, though, the first one I hit that set off the "YES GIMME!" vibes was All the Wrong Questions, which I need to read again because I enjoyed it, *gasp*, even more than Series of Unfortunate Events, and I feel like it could spawn such awesome side fic if I'd read it enough to write it myself. Now I ASSUME you are not Non-Plutonian-Druid offering to write a prose exploration of your brilliant AtWQ/Umbrella Academy mash-up, so barring that, I'll take whatever absurd eldritch noir you can give me! (If you ARE in fact Pluto hoping for an excuse to do this very thing? I am not going to stop you). No DNWs here beyond the blanket "no smut"-- I'm open to romance and angst and whatever, because this is noir, pile it on! With the humorous touch, of course.

Speaking of humorous noir, I debated whether or not to add anything else to my requests lists, because I didn't want to distract from my chances at the ones I REALLY WANT that other people aren't likely to ask for, and though I had a list of about 15 I went "I want to read that!" over, most of them I thought I'd be happy just reading someone else's gift-- it wasn't MINE, you know? The one I was most on the fence about though was Fargo the TV Show. I mean, Fargo was how I discovered Legion, after all! In the end I left it off my requests, but I'll drop it here as a backup or if someone wants to write a bonus something or something. I'd love a Mr. Wrench and Mr. Numbers off on a job having their side conversations in sign; or Rabbi and Mike/Satchel Milligan having some happier foster-father/son bonding time than they really got a chance to in canon.

So, a general overview? Hi, I'm a children's librarian who likes absurd gen fic, how are you?
