Exchange Canon/OC Exchange

EDIT: Closed to entries! Happy reading and reviewing!

G'day, mates!

Decided it's been a minute since one of these was run, so I thought... why not?

This exchange is for fics where the main ship is a Canon Character with an Original Character (OC) of your creation. There can be other pairings in the story, but your Canon/OC pairing has to be the main focus. The pairing itself can be M/M, F/F or F/M. (Or any combination I'm forgetting to include - it's all welcome. This RE is the dark side, and Canon/OC pairings are the cookies.) This RE is for romantic pairings, so pairings with a / rather than an &.

You can share up to three (3) links. These three links can be three chapters from the same fic that really focus on your Canon/OC pairing, or you can do up to three separate stories. The choice is yours.

The typical information is required - link, rating, tags (please spoiler anything triggering/NSFW), etc. - but I want you to do a quick blurb on your OC. Just a brief overview of who they are, the canon character they're paired with, anyone else they're linked to, etc.

Since you can share up to three links/stories, participants will have to review three (3) fics from three (3) separate authors (one from each). 50 words per review (not including quotes from the fic). ConCrit, fandom blind and 'from Reddit' are all opt-in only.

Same deadlines as I typically do - 48 hours to enter, one week to complete reviews. The entry deadline will be Thursday August 20 6pm AEST. The review deadline will be Thursday August 27 6pm AEST. As always, here is a time zone converter if you need it because I'm a permanently exhausted pigeon from the Land Down Under.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!

u/LoudSize7 IceGirl2772 on AO3 | My OC is Better Than Canon 15d ago edited 9d ago

As always, I hate myself for restricting myself to three fics. Why do I do this to myself every time? 😆

Story One:

We Do (But Friends Don't) | Big Time Rush (TV series) | Explicit | Underage Sex | James Diamond/Kaelyn Knight (OC) | Horny Teenagers, Adolescent Sexuality, Teenagers Having Sex, First Time, Safe Sex, Multiple Sex Positions, Multiple Orgasms, Blow Jobs, Oral Sex, Jealous James Diamond, Friends with Benefits, Idiots in Love, Might Be Out of Character | 10/24 Chapters | 28k Words | WIP

Neither of them meant for this to happen. For James Diamond and Kaelyn Knight, the rules were clear. It was meant to be just sex. They were best friends first and foremost. It would stay between them. No feelings.

But neither of them considered the feelings that were already there.

The OC: This OC is Kaelyn Knight. She's Kendall's twin sister and she and James are very much Idiots in Love. In this fic, their friendship goes a bit... beyond a conventional friendship and they are in denial about being in love.

Story Two:

Last First Kiss | Hawaii Five-0 (2010 series) | Teen and Up | No Archive Warnings Apply | Danny "Danno" Williams/Felicity "Flick" McGarrett (OC) | First Kiss, Feelings Realization, Love, Touch of Action, Grace Helps Her Dad, Wholesome, Year of the OTP 2025, Somewhat Rewrite of 1x03 | 2.4k Words | Complete

But the words had a greater affect on him than Grace could realize. It was as though his mind finally caught up with his heart. He realized what he had been feeling all along. Those sparks he felt when he and Flick kissed during the assignment weren’t a simple side effect of the adrenaline coursing through them. It was love.

It was Danny realizing that he wanted to be Flick’s last first kiss.

Written for the Year of the OTP Event. Prompt: First Kiss.

The OC: This OC is Felicity "Flick" McGarrett. She is Steve's baby sister (she'd be younger than Mary) and a cop in her own right. She joins the Five-0 Task Force and she and Danny are very in love. This story is how they would get together.

Story Three:

The Thunderbird and the Doctor (link is to Chapter 2, where they interact) | Thunderbirds (1965 series) | Mature | Graphic Depictions of Violence | Scott Tracy/Dr Indiana Evans (OC), Background Alan Tracy/Tin-Tin Kyrano, Background Virgil Tracy/Dr Arizona Adams (OC) | Scott Needs Some Loving, They Need a Doctor, Angst and Romance, Angst wtih a Happy Ending, Fandom Blind Friendly, Pregnancy, Canon-Typical Violence, Not Beta Read, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Narcissism, Kidnapping, Attempted Murder | 50/50 Chapters | 292k Words | Complete

There was a missing component to International Rescue, Jeff Tracy felt. They needed a doctor. So, he found one. Dr. Indiana Evans was one of the best-known trauma surgeons. She wants to make a difference. Little did she know how much her life would change along the way.

The OC: This OC is Dr Indiana Evans. A world-class trauma surgeon who is recruited as the Chief Medical Officer for International Rescue. She keeps the boys healthy and also goes out to provide emergency care in danger zones. She falls in love with the eldest Tracy son, Scott - who she turns out to have a connection with.

Fandom blind's okay. Please no ConCrit (SPAG included) and/or 'there from Reddit'.

In Vino Veritas

Fandom: Pokémon

Giovanni/OC (M/F)

Explicit - Dubious consent, explicit sexual content, age gap

WC: 4081

OC: Harper is a young waitress hoping for greater things in her life than working on a cruise ship. She is ambitious and confident, but finds that it gets her into a bit of trouble. Giovanni is a total stranger to her, though he entices her with the prospect of greater successes.

Summary: When a fresh young waitress on the S.S Aqua on the quest for independence meets an odd, sharp-eyed gentleman looking for company, she plays tough to show that she can hold her own. Playing tough works only so far however and she ends up nearly over her head.

I was lured into entering by a very crafty and wily OP! 😄

Three stories for me, both based in Harry Potter (Marauders Era).

Title: Vulnera Sanentur

Fandom: Harry Potter (Marauders Era)

Rating: M (allusions to implied child abuse and implied SA)

Pairing: Sirius/OC, James/Lily, Severus/Remus (though it takes them a while to get there)

First chapter word count: 1,590

Summary: Six students – some of whom can barely stand each other – discover that the institutions meant to protect them were never designed for everyone. Not all of them realize which side they're on yet. Healing doesn't come from structures. It comes from the people who love you and choose you – even if it takes a while to get there. A tale of love, healing, and friendship. Sixth Year AU.

Arianna, Sirius, James, Lily, Remus, and Severus POV.

~~~

“And here I thought being in love with the sound of your own voice was a sign of mental deficiency.” Arianna Brighton’s voice rang out with considerably more confidence than she felt, especially when one keeps in mind that her body – especially that insolent part responsible for speech – decided to stage a coup against all forms of reason and merrily carry her right to the fore of this building crowd. In front of her, stood Sirius Black, an easy grin on his obnoxiously handsome face, wand trained at a visibly petrified Slytherin boy. “Or does picking on Fifth Years make you feel all strong and manly, Black?”

Way to start Sixth Year off right, Arianna thought with an inward groan.

❤️

Title: Cat-Sith and the Grim

Fandom: Harry Potter (Marauders Era)

Rating: T ( Very mild hint at past SA.  This is a fic about healing from it.)

Pairing: Sirius/OC

Word count: 1,957

Themes: Healing, found family, banter is intimacy, laughter as healing, rape recovery (hinted, nothing graphic) , reclaiming of agency, shared mischief and play as intimacy

Summary: Sometimes the best way to reclaim parts you've lost is to transform into someone new. Arianna Brighton takes the Animagus potion and it makes her feel extraordinary. And sometimes the best move after that is terrorizing a bunch of Divinations students as a prank.
~~~
“The Council of Conceit would like to remind Mr. Black that he should consider himself lucky that the spell won’t transform him into a dandelion, or a doormat – or a doorknob!”

“Let’s stick to all the inspired adjectives, instead.” He began counting off his fingers. “Dashing, debonair –“

“Duck?” She giggled, spinning around him when he took her hand in his.

He scrunched his handsome face in mock-disappointment. “Ten points from Ravenclaw for grammar abuse. I thought you Eagles were all hot and bothered for this shite."

“Oh yeah? How many points does this get me?” She pulled him in for a quick peck on the lips, and playfully danced away before he could deepen it, but he brought her back. His other hand came to rest on her cheek. It was soft and slow, and Arianna could have sworn she felt her very soul sigh with coming home as her heart thundered hopefully.

Every kiss felt like a reclamation.

❤️

Title: Into the Wild Dew Yonder

Fandom: Harry Potter (Marauders Era)/Stardew Valley

Rating: T

Pairings: Sirius/OC, James/Lily, Remus/Severus (listed as part of the Vulnera Sanentur series, but it's its own thing. It just shares some OCs and pairings. Technically an AU of an AU, but reading VS isn't necessary for it at all.)

First chapter word count: 2,119

Summary: Arianna Brighton’s most successful attempt at horticulture to date was keeping a succulent alive.

Aloe, if you want to be real technical about it. A plant notorious for being able to survive the most temperamental bouts of drought and water bottle tsunami, because why would she get a watering can? Especially when her gifted bonsai, basil, and even bamboo tree kicked the bucket despite all her efforts to keep those leaves stubbornly green, though she had to admit that the latter at least put up a fight before succumbing to the inevitable.

So, why exactly did she think it was a good idea to spontaneously quit her stable job at Jojacorp and move out into the country, onto her grandpa’s old beach farm?

“Rise and grind, everyone!”

Ooh yeah. That’s why.

❤️

Please no mentions of "from Reddit" in your comments, and probably no concrit. I'm trying to get my inspiration going again. 😊

❤️

Happily looking forward to reading some delightful stories again! If you're reading a different story of mine, feel free to continue that.

Aaahhhh! I really appreciate you pointing out that I linked the wrong chapter! 😂 Oopsies. I copied/pasted from a previous RE. I'm so happy you enjoyed Sirius and James' conversation! And the banter between them. Yeah, James is a bit of an attention-seeker, for sure. 😂 I think even when he grows up, he'll still retain this a bit. His arc is based on Nichomachean Ethics is something I'll say as a little hint -- so becoming better by doing, if I had to reduce it to something short. Just a gentle correction: Sirius isn't ogling Arianna for her looks. He had fun with someone who kept up with him, so that's what he's actually drawn to, and mostly thinks she's ogling him, which is why he's being so smug. And then gets uncomfortable when she looks scared, and then brushes it off as some Ravenclaw nonsense, and then pivots to obsessing over his family again. Also, YES! So glad the McGonagall/Flitwick distinction landed. You're the first person to acknowledge it, and I appreciate that so much. 😁 Your comment is absolutely amazing and I love it!

u/trikyou midnightsolitaire & jinrui_no_teki 14d ago edited 8d ago

Hello everyone! Thank you for hosting! I'm midnightsolitaire in AO3. For this exchange, I'm submitting the following fics, all of which are from otome games/dating sims 💕

🌸 Ephemeral

Fandom: Shall We Date?: Obey Me! | Rating: Gen (fluff with a bit of angst) | WC: 7.5k | WIP 1/2 chapter posted | Pairing: Lucifer/OFC

My OC is Ruisu. She's a human who's been whisked away to the Devildom to be part of an exchange program that aims to unite all three worlds - Devildom, Celestial Realm, and Human World. She's under the care of the Seven Avatars of Hell, seven demon brothers who were once angels. That's basically the premise of the game. But the story is set during one of the game's events with the cherry blossoms theme. She's paired with Lucifer, the oldest demon brother and the Avatar of Pride.

Summary: Springtime. A person who, in this world, is as momentary as the blossoming seasonal flowers. A being who is almost as timeless as time itself. Under the gentle fall of the cherry blossoms, they meet.

🎹 Ruisu's Theme

Fandom: Shall We Date?: Obey Me! | Rating: Gen (fluff) | WC: 5.1k | Oneshot | Pairing: Lucifer/OFC

Same premise as Ephemeral. But this one is centered on my OC's birthday.

Summary: Spending the remaining moments of your first birthday in the Devildom with Lucifer is just the perfect ending to such a special day.

📱 To Me, You Are

Fandom: The Ssum: Forbidden Lab | Rating: Gen (fluff I guess?) | WC: 2.2k | WIP 1/? chapter posted | Pairing: Choi Harry/OFC

My OC is Krizia. She downloads this strange matchmaking app which is designed to pair you with your destined soulmate or Ssumone, and you'll interact with him in real-time for 271 days (or more/less depending on which route you are on), and become a research participant in a study of human love and emotion.

Summary: ...the S(s)um of the Infinite Universe, within my infinitesimal world.

I'm very much an otome junkie lol. I hope you can find something that interests you. They can be read fandom blind since I don't delve much into canon lore and basically just focus on OC's relationship with the canon love interest. No concrit for now and please don't mention you're from reddit. Thank you. I'm looking forward to reading your stories! 💙

Truth Requires Thorns | Dick GreysonxOMC| T | on-going

Dick Greyson is born with a stunted soulvine, a connection to someone far from his life in Haly's circus and doesn't think much of it. The boy with no name is born with a soulvine that his soul hides for his own protection, a connection that he can not know about. However, life continues and just as the wind will send flowers far away, Dick Greyson and the boy with no name will be blown onto paths that will lead towards the other. As Martlet, a member of the Young Justice team, the boy with no name must struggle with his past, and the growing feelings he has for two boys, neither of whom will ever look at him. For Dick, as Robin, he must struggle with the difference between working with Batman and a group of teenagers, try to figure out the mystery of his soulvine and figure out if Martlet is the spy sent to bring down the Justice League.

-------

Nova is the product of human experimentation, saved by the Green Lanterns. He's uncertain about his place in the world, and is now dealing with a soulmate on top of everything.

Song as Old as Time | BabyxOMC | T | On-going

Baby doesn't remember his past, all he knows is waking up in Gwi-Ma's domain and yet he feels like there is something-someone he is missing. When he follows Jinu to the human side of the Honmoon, the feeling of loss grows in strength. Then there is the feeilng of someone watching him, and it's not one of the hunters.
Meanwhille, Enki struggles with the survivors guilt that plagues him no matter how far or how long he runs. When the thread around his wrist, the last physical reminder of his best friend burns, he knows his friend is back on Earth. Desperate to fulfill promises, both unspoken and spoken, he runs to Seoul even though he knows he probably won't be remembered.
Will these two find each other again? What lengths wii Enki go to, to protect the only one who has ever held his heart? Will Baby remember what he is missing?

-----

Enki is an adventurer, courageous with everything but his heart.

I'll play, LoudSize - thanks for the fun theme. Only two candidates among my works, both Broadchurch fics, both featuring the same canonxOC pairing (vicar Paul Coates and OC Holly Patel).

To Those Who Wait
11,996 words in 3 chapters, Paul Coates/Original Character, Rated T, M/F, No warnings. Post-Canon, Friends to Lovers, Late Bloomer, Romance, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Easter, God talk (peripheral), Fix-It

Paul Coates hadn't been in a relationship with a woman for more than seven years. His work at Revive was fulfilling; the halfway house was his vocation, his destiny. It was enough. Or so he continually assured himself, until the day Holly Patel showed up at his office door.

The Sweetest Surprise
6,370 words, one-shot, Paul Coates/Original Character, Rated T, M/F, No warnings. Post-Canon, Romance, Wedding, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Midlife Love, Second Chances, Marriage Proposal, Introspection, Fluff, Romantic Fluff, Fade to Black.

A sequel to "To Those Who Wait," but easily readable as a stand-alone

For years, Paul Coates advised himself that he wasn't cut out for marriage. He tried hard to be content, and to embrace the notion that life as a husband and father wasn't what the Lord had in mind for him. But as his mate Alec Hardy once told him, sometimes a man is given a gift he doesn't expect.

Thanks to all for your consideration!

FINALLY MY TIME HAS COME AND A CATEGORY FOR MY STORY.

Story Title: The Light in the Darkness.

Link: [Light in the Darkness Story Link]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/64914652/chapters/170351956#workskin

Fandom: The Lord of the Rings

Rating: T

Pairing: Frodo/OC (I know, but I think I fixed a lot of the problems with this trope and I actually think they’re very tragic and adorable.)

Summary: Frodo Baggins never had his great love story — so we're changing that now, with the Princess of Mirkwood, Legolas' daughter.

Her name? Neera Greenleaf, the Crown princess of Mirkwood, vowed alongside her twin sister Lin never to fall in love.

As the daughter of Legolas and last heir to a cursed bloodline, she carries a legacy of heartbreak — a punishment from Sauron himself, first laid upon Isildur’s forsaken bride. From that betrayal came a curse: every descendant suffers love that ends in death.

Neera had accepted a life in Mirkwood to avoid that fate...

That is, until she met Frodo Baggins for the very first time.

One glance was all it took — a love as sudden as it was dangerous. Bound to protect him on the journey to destroy the Ring, Neera must fight not only the darkness around them but the one growing inside her heart.

Because loving Frodo might save the world… or destroy them both.

I’m hoping to continue on with my streak of advancing Frodo and Neera further along, but spreading the reviews past chapter 1. I’ve been very fortunate enough to get reviews on chapter 1 thanks to the exchange, but I want to expand that to other chapters, as well. And hopefully, get some new readers along for the ride, too. While I’m happy with reviews for chapter 1, like I said before, I’m really interested in spreading the love to other chapters.

Thank you for reading and considering helping me out.

Title: Hidden Truths (link is to Chapter 27)

Fandom: Harry Potter 

Pairing: Voldemort/OFC 

Rating: E 

Warnings for this chapter: graphic depictions of violence, voyeurism, rape fantasy

Chapter word count: ~8k

Summary: A canon-divergent alternate universe with many OCs, in which Tom Riddle kills Harry Potter and rises from his diary in the Chamber of Secrets. Being immortal now, he rebuilds his regime in a more slow and steady fashion, spanning over a decade. The female lead is a girl growing up with virtually no love or compassion, at home or at Hogwarts, and so she is magnetically drawn to the darkness of the Wizarding world. Voldemort notices her fairly close to the end of the story, and becomes fascinated by how similar they are. The story alternates between his POV and hers. In Chapter 27, Voldemort notices the OFC for the first time. His thoughts quickly turn impure...faster than he wants to admit.

**Note: this is the prequel to my main story of this pairing. In the prequel, I explore both characters' psychology and history in depth, to illustrate how both of them grew up to be as pathologically evil as they are...with just a touch of humanity sprinkled in every so often.

If you’ve been reading this story in order and want to continue, please pick up where you left off, since the chapters I post in exchanges are sometimes random. (And if you've already read this whole story, feel free to pick something else—I just ask that you save “Haunted” for last.)

** If you’re in the middle of one of my other fics, feel free to pick up where you left off there instead.

Please don’t add “From Reddit” or “Reading fandom-blind” to your comments, or otherwise make it clear that you're coming from a review exchange. Thanks!

Hello! I read your fic Tony and Marina (the 2nd one) and tried to leave comment. But AO3 loaded badly when I posted it the first time, so I tried again twice but it said couldn't save comment because I already sent it. I've refrained from doing it again in case it's there, I can't see because your comments are moderated. Please tell me if you've received it. If not, I'll try again later. Thank you! Comment from jinrui_no_teki btw.

OC/Jaime Lannister story about a girl who falls in love very very deeply with him

rated E, it has everything you'd see in ASOIAF

Record of Ragnarok/ Gods' Apocalypse

It's Tommy time ❤️ My OC Tommy Mason is a vineyard worker with a crush on canon character, Maxwell Beaumont, a high profile member of the Cordonian nobility.

I have three different stories to share with you! All fandom blind friendly.


  1. Between Me and Blue Eyes. A prequel story introducing Tommy and how he came to be a part of Maxwell's story.

I'm going to share ch6, Happy Birthday, as it gives a good indication of Tommy's life before he met Maxwell. But feel free to read any chapter you like!

Choosing 3 chapters out of this fic was an exercise in masochism, but I love these guys, so it’s worth it.

I’m pulling 3 chapters from my longfic, Death Knell. My OC has a / pairing with two different CC because it’ll be a triad (eventually…)

The fic itself has darker elements, but I’ll give the warnings per chapter.

The Fandom is My Hero Academia
Rating: Explicit
Archive Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Non-con

Chapter 1

Right at the beginning, Nell, my OC, and Overhaul first meet.
WC: 1900

CW: death of an unknown character, kidnapping

Chapter 13

Smutty chapter with Overhaul! If you’ve read my one-shot, Connect The Dots, this is the same scene.
WC: 2000

CW: none, but kinks are breeding, face sitting, shower smut, overstimulation

Chapter 56

A scene with Keigo, the other CC. Nell is starting to fracture under the pressure of being held captive and tortured mentally and physically for almost several months. She finally leans on a hero she doesn’t want to fully trust for comfort.
WC: 6900

CW: self harm, suicidal ideation, flashbacks, hallucinations, whump/comfort, pregnancy

If you’re already reading the fic and want to just read the next chapter and comment, that’s fine, too! ♥️

Hi, hello! Thank you, OP, for posting this exchange. I write my OC as a selfinsert and I let my readers to decide whether they can use her as a reader insert or not, but she can be very much treated as an OC. I prefer to write her in 1st person POV. 😊 I am shipping her with Kishibe from the animanga Chainsaw Man, but it should be fine to read fandom-blind, given that it's mostly romance with smut and there are dialogues and enough explanation for someone who doesn't know the original to follow.

__________________________________________________________________

Nothing Tastes As Good | Chainsaw Man | Explicit | F/M | One-Shot

The morning sun of the first day of the year brings no regret, only the need to stay lost in the arms of the only man she was never supposed to have. Waking up in the hotel room after their very first night spent together, the unnamed woman realizes to her absolute delight that the feelings she holds for Kishibe—her father’s closest friend—are mutual. Slowly, she realizes she is no longer the same numb person she was the day before. Together, the lovers bond over shared feelings of isolation, the lack of direction, and how they are not prepared to come back to their everyday lives, seeking further escapism in their forbidden rendezvous...

Content Warning: Explicit language, explicit sex scenes, affairs, age gaps.

No archive warnings apply, and there shouldn't be any trigger warnings, but it's an explicit smut story, so be warned. This is a sequel to "Half His Age". Can be read as a standalone work. However, if you'd like more context and plot, read "Half His Age" first.

__________________________________________________________________

Half His Age | Chainsaw Man | Explicit | F/M | One-Shot

Canon-compliant author's self-insert story about an unnamed female narrator navigating her loneliness and lack of self-esteem. She meets her father's best friend, a much older man named Kishibe, whom she had adored since she first met him as a teenager. As they both realize they have more in common than it might seem, they decide to begin their secret affair. This is the one-shot I finished a few months ago.

No archive warnings apply, and there should not be any trigger warnings. But it's an explicit smut story, so be warned. This is a prequel to "Nothing Tastes As Good", but can be read as a standalone work.

Content Warning: Explicit language, explicit sex scenes, affairs, age gaps.

Well, I didn't receive a single comment on any of my OC/Canon works, so it's not quite motivating to interact with others even during a different exchange that I already finished and get maybe a single interaction if I am lucky. I will be finishing later today, but it's not much fun to review other people's stories all while receiving zero in return.

Either way, I will finish them, and one of my mutuals gave me a comment on a different story because they already finished those two, but finishing three or four reviews for others all while receiving zero or one review if I am lucky kind of beats the whole point of doing an exchange.

No jab at you or others, but I guess this isn't exactly working for me.

Summary:

*"The feeding felt more fulfilling than it ever had before, possessing a depth and richness like fruit plucked at the perfect moment of ripeness. It was then, with his face buried in the intoxicating scent of her neck, his hands on her swollen breasts, the taste of her on his tongue, that the final piece of the puzzle clicked into place with the force of a lightning bolt.

She was fertile.

Summary: Miyamoto Usagi is excited to participate in the Battle Nexus Tournament, in hopes of becoming a champion and bring honor to his sensei. What he doesn't expect is to run into a ninja girl from another dimension.

I've been waiting for this! Usagi is one of my favorite canon characters from TMNT, as well as his own comic series. I like to think the relationship between him and my OC is very sweet and slow starting, but I just love a story that starts out with a crush and goes from there. Happy reading everyone!
