U / V?
Sorry, the toddler woke up before I saw this!
U: A pairing you might like to write for, but haven’t tried yet.
Hmm. It’s probably not a popular answer, but I always did want to write a believable, good Sherlolly fic. I never found quite the right way of going into it, though - the Dangerous Minds ‘verse was about as close as I get, and even then, Sherlock was more asexual than hetero in that. (Actually, I just re-read that fic, and with the distance of time, I can still see a lot of Johnlock in there, which is kind of depressing, since I didn’t want it to be Johnlock at all. It’s sort of crazy how much that ship inserts itself into everything, even when you don’t want it to show!)
V: A secondary (or underrated) character you want to see more of in fic?
I love fics that pull any secondary character out and make them shine. They don’t necessarily have to be center stage or have a main role - but they can’t be cardboard cut-outs. This is one of the reasons I really like the character of Mary in BBC Sherlock - in the original ACD, she was totally a cardboard cutout. But in the show, she’s anything but. I have to think that people on both sides of the Mary wank would agree with that statement.
So basically my answer is: all of them. I want a fic writer to take a minor character and make me love them. Those are my favorite kinds of fics.
