Netflix Original Exchange letter

[firstlovelatespring]

Dear Netflix Originals Exchange author,

Thanks for writing for me! My ao3 is firstlovelatespring and I'm very much looking forward to whatever you write. I'm requesting American Vandal, Arrested Development, and GLOW. I've included a lot of specific prompts, but feel free to take or leave what you like. Be advised, this letter contains spoilers for GLOW season 3!

DNW: More than canon-level allusion to pregnancy, character death, suicide or self-harm, sexual assault. PDA in front of family, or any over the top PDA at all. Pure fluff or non-canonical nicknames/pet names.

General likes: 5 times, getting together, revealing a relationship to friends/coworkers, fake dating, secret relationship, casefic, other canon-typical shenanigans and/or hijinks.

American Vandal
I'm requesting Peter Maldonado/Sam Ecklund and Gabi Granger/Sara Pearson. I'm most interested in fic that takes place during or shortly after canon.

• Casefic! Investigating anything at all, mundane or supernatural, with cameras or without.
• 5 times Peter had an outlandish theory, and 1 time he was right.
• I've read a lot of the "everybody assumes they're together but they aren't" trope for Peter/Sam and I could always read more.
• Camp Miniwaka the summer after season 1
  • Sam deals with the aftermath of everything revealed in season 1
  • Gabi and Sara find themselves forced to work together, hate-to-love ensues
• Anything with Gabi and Sara bonding in the fallout of the Brandon Galloway situation.

Arrested Development
I'm requesting Gob Bluth/Tony Wonder, Lindsay Bluth/Sally Sitwell, and Marta Estrella/Lindsay Bluth.

• Lindsay is also a player in the chaos of Marta Complex.
• Lindsay is really mad at all of her brothers for some reason so she decides the best revenge is to go out and seduce Marta, so she does that. She brings Marta as her date to a family party to shove it in everyone’s face, but so much time has passed since everything went down that none of her brothers care.
• Tobias somehow gets a small role on El Amor Prohibido. Lindsay comes to the set to be a supportive spouse, but ends up spending more time with Marta than with her husband.
• I was not crazy about how Tony and Gob’s plotline was wrapped up in season 5B, so I would love to read a canon divergence AU that takes off from the end of 5A and has the mystery of Tony disappearing in cement resolved in whatever other zany way you see fit.
• Lindsay decides to seduce Sally to destroy her campaign. Lindsay fails to consider that this could destroy her own campaign, too. They’re at a bit of a stalemate.
• I’d love to read about Lindsay and Sally’s childhood rivalry and how it became their adulthood rivalry, something through-the-years about all the times they fought and everything that was underneath that. If you want to include Lindsay's struggles with body image and how that impacts her relationship with Sally I wouldn't mind reading that.
• I think it was in season 3 where Maeby was trying to get her mom to have an affair so she could become an emancipated minor - what if it was Marta or Sally instead of Ice? You could definitely take some liberties here with the timeline and have this take place during season 1 if you so desired.

GLOW
I'm requesting Debbie Eagan/Ruth Wilder. I'd prefer if we could all just ignore Ruth's involvement with Sam and Russell entirely. If you pretend it never happened I can too.

• One of the things I thought GLOW did a great job with was Debbie's body image issues, so while I'm not asking for fic with that as the entire premise, I wouldn't mind minor or heavy allusion to that.
• Ruth confronts Debbie about sabotaging her relationship with the cameraman who I can't remember the name of and they get into a fight and Debbie admits she was doing it because she's jealous of him and all that comes out.
• Ruth talks to Yolanda a lot about Debbie and at some point Yolanda says to Ruth, I don't think those are heterosexual feelings you have there.
• Debbie and Ruth spend a lot of time rehearsing their big fight scenes...
• I loved their scene at the airport! It felt like watching a romcom. I wish it had ended like it does in romcoms. So, Ruth and Debbie don't have to kiss dramatically in the airport (it's 1986!) but I would love an alternate ending to that scene.
• What else did Ruth and Debbie talk about on their hike?
