• With appropriate pairings, like vampires, blood drinking and/or licking blood off the other’s mouth, face, neck, etc. can’t go wrong.

• Dane Marbeck & Jayson Tagg
• Khalid Kattan/Jayson Tagg

I had fun with this movie but found myself craving more about the relationships. I would enjoy something focused on Jayson/Khalid from before Khalid was murdered that shows their growing relationship or Dane & Jayson after Jayson's murder that shows their growing friendship. Feel free to throw Jayson's sister in there in any capacity if you want. She's fantastic.

Prompts, if you want some:

• Jayson was obviously in love with Khalid but could barely even admit that to himself. I'd love to see your take on how they met and got started seeing each other. What drew them together? Did they meet at a club, or was Jayson on duty as a cop and they encountered each other after he was called to investigate something? Was Khalid the victim of some kind of crime or a witness that Jayson had to interview? You get to decide.
• We know almost nothing about Khalid, so feel free to give him any kind of backstory/profession or personality that you want to. So little about him was explored that he would seem like just a hot guy with a pretty face if not for Jayson being in love with him, which shows that there must have been a lot more to him than that.
• Glimpses of their relationship and Jayson falling hard for him, and why he thought he had to try to fight it and act casual, would be fun. I don't think they were seeing each other long-term by the Khalid died, but Jayson still obviously fell hard, so I'd love to see glimpses of how that happened.
• For Dane & Jayson, I would love a missing scene or scenes of them working together to find Jayson's killer that show their friendship growing. Funny, maudlin, downright tearjerking moments are all fine. I'd just really like to see more of them genuinely starting to care about each other.
• It would also be fun to see their interactions when Jayson was alive and jump to one after to show what was probably a pretty funny cop/stoner dynamic before compared to the genuine caring after they started spending time together to find Jayson's killer.

• Charles Bruno/Guy Haines

This version is available right now on YouTube and the Internet Archive. It's striking how much more obsessive and unhinged Bruno is here than in the film and how little a sense of self-preservation Guy has from the get-go, even though Bruno's sort of manic-sounding personality is a veritable quilt of red flags.

Bruno feels far less menacing in this version and less resentful of Guy's success and status. He seems to want to be part of it more than anything, and is so much more desperate and needy, even telling Guy that he loves him after he's murdered his wife and eventually killing himself over the fact that Guy wants nothing to do with him after everything is said and done.

I'd love something that leans into that obsessive, destructive kind of attraction and whatever manipulation and scheming you come up with for Bruno to keep Guy in his life. Despite my DNW for bleak endings, I don't need a happy ending here. I don't want Guy or Ann to die, but Bruno's eventual end can hang over it, or it can end with Guy in a place with Bruno where he's not thrilled to be. I would like there to be a sense of him wanting Bruno too, even if he hates that he does.

It can be horny as hell or focused on the tension, feelings and manipulation. I'm good with any of it.

Prompts, if you want some

• Bruno doesn't just extort a return-the-favor murder, but also sexual favors out of Guy. This can be super duper dubcon, but no outright non-con. Basically, have Bruno manipulate or menace Guy and/or get him hot, and I'll be happy. Demanding sex to not go to the police fits pretty seamlessly into the story, and I'd love for Guy to enjoy even if he feels guilty or embarrassed by it. Giving in because he "has to" even though he secretly wants it.
• A canon divergence where Guy convinces him to come down and saves his life, and where that might lead. How does he convince him? Is calling him Charlie and saying a nice thing or two all it takes, or does he have to imply or promise more? How far will he go to keep from having to live with the guilt or regret of seeing Bruno kill himself, and is there more to it, like an odd attraction he hasn't admitted to himself?
• Guy decides that the only way out of the relationship is to kill Bruno, but then finds he can't do it.
• Something more happening between them on the train when they first meet would be fun, something to help explain Bruno's obsession and affection even more. They were both drunk at some point, and they're in Bruno's private drawing room, so just about anything could happen. And Guy seemed to enjoy the admiration more and more over the course of the ride. It's notable how everyone basically rolls over Guy. Anne, his friend and Bruno basically lead him by the nose or ignore his protests and do what they want. Guy was talked into joining Bruno for a drink and dinner so easily, and it's not a stretch to think he could be convinced into a quick fling before things go off the rails, since it seems anybody can talk him into or out of anything.
• The best way Guy can think of to get Bruno to leave his wedding (or Bruno can just outright state that he won't leave until this happens) is by spending a few minutes together with him somewhere the guests can't see.
• Bruno expressed the thought that he'd considered getting rid of Ann and having Guy all to himself. And he's constantly threatening to tell when he wants to get his way. Maybe Guy is willing to go to any length to protect Ann from both their new life falling apart because Bruno tells and/or the risk of Bruno wanting to remove her from Guy's life.
• Bruno sets up an attack on Guy solely for the purpose of rescuing him before he can be hurt or killed and trying to get Guy closer to him and grateful to him for that. In can be in front of Ann if you want to include her, so he can seem a hero to her and think he's worming his way deeper into their lives.
• Bruno sounds younger here, talking about his father locking up his car and such. Why is he such a momma's boy, and why does he hate his father so much? An abuse backstory, something that explains why he's so messed up, could be interesting. Was he physically or sexually abused by his father? Is there an incestuous dynamic or outright relationship between him and his mother? Maybe these things come to light and Guy feels things about and wants to help or doesn't want to make things worse by refusing him.
• It would be fun to see Guy turn the tables at some point and get the upper hand, or at least think he has the upper hand. Bruno loves him and wants to be the most important thing in his life, but maybe Guy is the one that pushes it into something physical as a way to gain control of the situation.

• Peter Carlisle/Ripley Holden

I love that they're both incredible shits who make bad choices for different reasons of differing severity but deep down where it counts most they love the people they love and will protect them at any cost. And that they develop a sort of grudging understanding and maybe even a bit of respect despite their vast differences.

I'd love to see what kind of silly (and tense and/or hot) situation would lead to them kissing or fist-fighting or protecting each other or doing anything else, but as long as they're interacting in the way they do on the show, it'll be fun.

Prompts, if you want some:

• Ripley is attracted to Peter from the beginning and Peter knows it (and reciprocates). I think Ripley's intimidated and a bit resentful of the guy he sees as someone thinking he's better class, but Peter turns him on, and he hates that. Of course, Peter loves that. I feel like this ship was made for all the angry, smart-assed flirting. 
• Feel all kinds of freaking free to give the These Boots are Made for Walking dance a different ending where Peter doesn't walk off. Change parts of it and somehow making it sexier than it already is. Hoo boy!
• I also really like the idea of it not being a song and dance, but much of the same choreography in an argument or a showdown about the murder, or just their oil and water personalities. I mean, doing some of that stuff outside of a musical background . . . I envision angry, sexy things, almost competitive, in an "I'll show that punter who does it best" kind of way. Angry kissing and sexual tension FTW. 
• A more pointed conversation after Peter walks in on the forehead kiss in Ep 4 with "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" and Ripley's so irritated. 
• When Ripley goes to confront Peter after finding Danny on the railroad tracks and confesses to moving the body, there's a lot of talk about him wondering it would take for Peter to look the other way about things. Maybe they can work something out?
• In the silly fantasy pool sequence, there's a lot of angrily shoving each other's head down under the water. Have fun with that. :D
• Peter's Freud remark (and perhaps continued ones) would go the extra mile if everything was sexually charged. 
• Maybe Ripley's watching Peter eat an ice cream cone the way he does, like he's trying to get it off, and he has thoughts. Or take 30 seconds of the Boots dance and share what one person is thinking or conversation they're having when their foreheads are pressed together instead of singing.
• For something on the angstier or more serious side, have one incredibly jealous of the other. Ripley's off on another extra-marital and Peter's jealous. Maybe Ripley's jealous of Peter's youngish partner? Angsty, angry sex, angry passion, always a good time.
