guy burgess / as portrayed in bbc's cambridge spies

[fuckingdesolate]

[1936 or modern au, whichever you prefer!

either way-- your local campus communist. he's from a very "good" family but here on a scolarship nonetheless. a member of one of cambridge's premier intellectual societies, the apostles. pretty much the physical embodiment of campus hookup culture, constantly sexiles his roommate, and doesn't study for finals until the last 14 hours before the test and assumes that will be enough to pass. majoring in history (and recruiting for the soviets on the side in threads taking place during his own era). ]

benedict dearborn || original (urban religious fantasy) || ota

[fumitory]

( probs an anthropology major with a focus on world religions...with his developmental schooling having been done in catholic-centered schools.

any and all of his free time is spent in paranormal and cryptozoological study; he will attend paranormal groupings, or meet with magical practitioners within or outside campus. additionally, he will study abroad to Italy or Japan to immerse himself in the religious cultures and subsequent variety of unique demons and histories to said cultures.

open to pretty much everything I'm reading on this list of prompts, tbh! Ben can even be a teacher's assistant in your history class, who knows... first meets or assumed cr good! slow-burn and gradual if looking to ship. )

north | detroit: become human

[detesting]

late night snacks?

[greyate]

[ Ever since she started training on the "official" team, Jean had managed to sleep better most nights. She was too tired to do anything else after all the studying, homework, and training. But a few nights, she would wake up late (or too early depending on the time) and not be able to go back to sleep. Even if she slipped her headphones on.

So, she would eventually get up and venture down to the mansion's kitchen and fix herself something. It depended on the night and what she felt like. Tonight it was a peanut butter and banana sandwich. She'll be in the middle of fixing that when she pauses, sensing someone approaching. ]

Wanda Maximoff | MCU

[evreica]

[ota with f/f preference for shipping; definitely that weird gothy girl from the sad part of Europe, canon divergence and superpowers optional (i.e. post-AOU she's sent to university instead of the hero team right away). Wanda is probably a psych major and active in the Jewish Student Union or what have you, but she's also outstandingly bad at pursuing most collegiate social experiences.]

Nymeria Sand | GOT/ASOIAF (modern)

[sunlits]

[ota with f/f preference for shipping; she's kind of the token party bisexual, but she's also a little bit of a jock (solo sports not teams) and smarter than she probably lets on and bonus: her dad is rich and she learned how to socialize from him]

Peter Parker • MCU

( Freshman chemistry major, sci-fi film society member, Star Wars cosplayer and all-around cutie pie. Will trade home-made baked goods* for Spanish tuition. OTA for gen + shipping, canonmates especially welcome!
