Queering the Tide 2024

[dauntlessshadowice]

 There are many ways of queering texts and characters. This challenge is for any and all of them! The widest possible definition of queering is used here. If you think your prompt counts, then do so we.


To participate, leave a comment on this post linking to your letter, so anyone interested in queering your canon for yuletide can find you. Tag any fics for this mini-challenge with Queering The Tide. (I suggest you tag both Queering the Tide and TransTide if the two happen to overlap.)

DNWs and additional prompts for each fandom are available at the letter link

Fandom: First Kill (TV 2022)
Characters: Theo Burns, Apollo Burns, Calliope Burns
What Is It?: An 8 episode supernatural teen drama on Netflix about star-crossed lesbians from a vampire family and a vampire hunting family
What Am I requesting?: In addition to Calliope, the vampire hunter who is canonically a lesbian, I would love to see queer headcanons for her brothers.

Fandom: Legally Blonde - Hach/O'Keefe/Benjamin
Character: Elle Woods, Emmett Forrest, Enid Hoops, Paulette Bonafonte, and Vivian Kensington
What is it?: The 2003 adaptation the Reese Witherspoon movie. There is a proshot that is available on Youtube.
What am I requesting: In addition to Enid, who is canonically a lesbian, a lot of writers portray Emmett as a trans man. I'd love to see that, and any other queer or trans interpretation of these characters.

Fandom: Thoroughly Modern Millie - Tesori/Scanlan/Morris (spoilers below!)
Characters: Millie Dilmount, Jimmy Smith, Miss Dorothy Brown, Muzzy Van Hossmere
What Is It?: A 2002 musical adaptation of a Julie Andrews film from the 60s
What Am I requesting?: Like most good m/f couples, the bi4bi energy of Jimmy/Millie is so powerful, and I'd love something that explores that. I'd also love to see queer versions of Muzzy and Miss Dorothy who are both high femme in their own ways.

Fandom: Roaring Twenties Magic - Allie Therin
Characters: Jade Robbins, Jianwei Zhang, Sebastian de Leon, Wesley Collins | Lord Fine
What Is It?: M/M fantasy 1920s historical romance trilogy that is a spinoff of the Magic in Manhattan series.
What Am I requesting?: Sebastian and Wesley are the main canon M/M couple, and I'd love to get fic about them. Jade is a former spy who usually wears men's suits, and I'd love to see a fic that addresses her relationship to gender, especially in the context of her relationship with her canon love interest Zhang.
