Fandom/Relationship Promo Post

[candyheartsex]

If you want to promote your fandom or the relationships you want to request/create for, this post is for you!

How you write your your recommendations, enthusiastic squeeing, or manifestos is up to you, but please put the name of your canon in the subject line of your comment. Here--with liberal borrowing from Yuletide's promo setup--are some other things you may want to include:

• Title
  
• Medium (e.g., Book Series, Podcast, TV Show, etc.)
  
• Approximate Length (e.g., page count, runtime, etc. This is also a good place to mention if only a specific installment of the canon is relevant to the relationship(s) you're requesting.)
  
• Where to (Legally) Find It
  
• Brief Description
  
• What You Love About the Canon
  
• What You Love About Your Ship(s)
  
• Kinds of Things You're Planning to Ask For
  
• Content Notes (e.g., incest, period-typical attitudes, noncon, torture, etc. These notes are optional and may not cover everything even if they're included.)
  

Please post a separate comment for each promo you do, so the canon title can always be highlighted in the subject line.

Crashing (UK TV)

[(Anonymous)]

Title Crashing
Medium limited series TV show
Approximate Length: six 23 min episodes (2 hrs 19 min total runtime)
Where to (Legally) Find It: Netflix in most of the world. Originally ran on Channel 4 in the UK, unclear if it's still available to stream there
Brief Description: Seven people mostly in their 20s find themselves living together in an abandoned hospital in London as part of a guardianship program (I think it's to help prevent squatters). A lot of messy, (mostly) undiscussed feelings and repression ensue. Written by (and starring) Phoebe Waller-Bridge, although she is not one of the people in this ship.

Very mild spoilers below (like, *very* mild but putting this out of an abundance of caution, in case you're a "zero spoilers go in totally ignorant" kinda person)

What You Love About the Canon: Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a masterclass at writing relationships between two people who can't or won't, for whatever reason, let themselves be together. If you've seen Fleabag, you'll know what I mean. Crashing is no exception. I, who love pining and weird emotional repression in my media, found it a really fun, engaging story on my first watch as everyone reaches the tipping points in their various relationships. A pair of best friends with sexual tension, a Definitely Straight(TM) man incredibly jealous of his new friend's boyfriend, a Frenchwoman obsessed with a middle aged divorcee, a man and woman in an unhappy relationship, all condensed into six episodes. Plus, the premise itself is fun. Who didn't dream of living in a giant commune with their friends when they were younger? (No? Just me?)
What You Love About Your Ship(s): I am absolute trash for "queer repression and the ways it leaks out" and Sam is the gold standard for that. I love how they're attached at the hip as soon as they meet, and also how messy and complicated and a little toxic their friendship is. I love the physical intimacy moments, fleeting as they are. I want to know their lives outside the bounds of the show.
Kinds of Things You're Planning to Ask For: Exploration of what's going on in either of their heads during canon, "first time" fic, or post-canon fic exploring the implications of the finale.
Content Notes: homophobia (but the call is coming from inside the house, so to speak)

oh, forgot to mention — Jonathan Bailey (of Bridgerton + Fellow Travelers) plays one half of this ship.

There are no good clips or promo stills but here are two tumblr posts from episode one (one mildly nsfw)
