svgurlDear creator,
Thanks so so much for signing up for this exchange! I'm excited to see what you come up with and I hope that the information I provided helps. I have left a few prompts for each ship I requested, but please don't feel obligated to stick to those prompts if you have your own idea in mind. If you have any more questions/want anything clarified, feel free to contact me via the mod and I'm more than happy to answer. :D
I do love winter fics and Christmas themes (the shopping, mistletoe, decorating the tree, etc) so if you want to add any of those in, they would be welcome. New Year's Eve too.

Smallville:
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships- I prefer the Smallville Justice League, such as Bart, J'onn, Victor, AC, etc; 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' (good with Clark and Lois having daughters, not with him having permanently given up his powers)
Other Ships I Like (if you want background ships): Lois/Kara, Tess/Kara, Lana/Kara, Oliver/Dinah, Tess/Emil, Martha/Jonathan, AC/Mera, AC/Victor, Bart/Chloe, Bart/Mia, Oliver/Chloe, Chloe/George Dean (guy she was engaged to in the AU world of s7, "Apocalypse" episode), Lana/Jason (in s4 or an AU where he doesn't go evil), Lex/Lana (again, as long it is an AU where he's not evil)
Clark/Lois: These two are an OTP for me. I've loved so many version of them in the past, since I was a kid, and this particular one sold me on their first meeting in "Crusade". They have the bickering friends/frenemies to lovers dynamic that is dear to my heart and I loved how even when they claimed they disliked one another, they were there for each other, such as when Lois was able to get through to Clark and stop him from killing Alicia's murderer and how Clark could comfort Lois over Lucy (and even with some of the guys she dated). There was definitely some flirting and feelings over the years too even when they wouldn't admit it and when they finally got together, it was amazing and for sure worth the wait. They're there for each other and really are what the other person needs. I appreciate how they can be open with each other and how Lois is so close to Clark's family (and they love her!). I like anything set during canon or divergences or post canon (or in that seven year gap) or complete AUs. While I don't ship Clana, if you do include her, I would prefer her to be a friend to both and not a villain or hurdle of some sort.
Prompts:
1. AU after 8.15 "Infamous" where Clark reverses time but Lois still remembers what happened and how that changes things
2. Clark and Lois celebrating during the holidays (can include things like him having to balance his Superman life with spending time with his girlfriend/fiancee/wife, depending on when it is set)
3. Clark and Lois get caught under mistletoe (set any time in early s8 or even before, as long as one or both is not in a relationship!)
4. Their dance/kiss in "Bride" is not interrupted and how that changes things (is Clark really ready yet? is Lois still going to panic?)
Clark/Lois/Oliver: My OT3. While I love the individual ships in it, I also love the dynamic they have as a trio. We didn't get to see as many scenes with just them as I would've liked but the ones were got were really great. They really balance one another out. Each of them has something in common with one of the others (Clark with Ollie, Clark with Lois, Lois with Ollie) but they're different enough to really make it interesting. I'm good with the three of them getting together at the same time or two of them already being together and including the third.
Prompts:
1. they get to have/finish their movie night in "Hydro" and it escalates
2. they all develop feelings for each other in a s9 AU
3. Oliver ends up spending a lot of time with Clark and Lois after his Green Arrow reveal and falls for both
4. Oliver and Lois get back together in s7 and Clark ends up hanging out with one or both after his own breakup. He realizes that Clark and Lois have feelings for each other and then that Clark also has feelings for him so he makes a plan (after consulting Lois of course). Bonus if Clark and Oliver had to kiss once already because they were undercover and Lois was very interested in the details when he told her
Clark/Oliver: Another OTP. I didn't expect to fall for them as hard as I did in s6 but I just loved their dynamic. The push and pull and the way they had this ultimate respect for one another was great but then it grew in s8-10. It was tough watching them fight but I did like how they always came back together, and even when they didn't agree, they cared about each other with Clark always believing Oliver was better and Oliver reminding Clark that the Kandorians weren't the only family that he had. One of my favorite moments was when Clark said that he hadn't quit on Oliver Queen in "Echo". One thing I do ask if that if you choose to set it in the later seasons that Lois doesn't get hurt. I am fine with handwaving the Clois romance rather than her having unrequited feelings or them breaking up because I adore her/don't want to see her hurt and I love Clois.
Prompts:
1. Clark gets Oliver for the Justice League Secret Santa (or vice versa)
2. Sleeping Beauty curse; Clark gets hit by a spell and they need to figure his true love (could work for Clark/Lois/Oliver, if they get confused and don't realize he has two)
3. Future Oliver time travels back, whether it is an accident or intentional to stop something bad (I just thought Justin Hartley looked hot graying and with a beard as he was in This is Us, pictured here) and Clark finds him attractive too. Present Oliver is jealous.
4. Clark pretends to be Oliver's fiance to visit him in the hospital (maybe he has Oliver's father's ring because the chain snapped off during the fight) but it turns out Oliver has amnesia
Lana/Tess: They're one of my rare pairs. They only had a few scenes in s8 but that was enough to sell me on their potential. They just had such an interesting dynamic- both of them were tied up with Lex at some point, in different ways, and had to find out the hard way that they'd been deceived. They both want to do good for the world and while Tess stumbled at some point, she did find her way back. Definitely feel like they would make a power couple.
Prompts:
1. soulmate AU- with all the LL, I can see it being confusing and leading to a lot of misunderstandings, especially if Lana had Tess's birth name, Lutessa, rather than Tess.
2. they hook up after Clark and Lois's wedding/reception (but please don't have them pining over either of them, especially Clark) and it leads to a friends with benefits situation
3. have to go undercover as a couple
Lois/Lana: They had their own little meet cute at the graveyard. I liked how they were friends immediately and how Lois took to Lana immediately. They clearly get along very well and they had some good chemistry to which I can see them being a couple. Lois respects Lana and Lana called Lois a good listener. I haven't read the s11 comics but it seems they had some good scenes there and Lana even gave Lois (and Clark) her blessing. On that note, please don't make Clark the villain or have them hook up because one or both are pining over him.
Prompts:
1. roommate AU; Lois stays at Metropolis University and Lana joins her later and they become roommates
2. It's Lana that Lois meets in Paris, not Jason
3. Lana keeps her powers (but not the Kryptonite absorption) and she saves Lois's life, who is promptly intrigued by the new mysterious hero in town (whether she knows it is Lana or not and you want to go for the 'triangle for two' except it's Lana is up to you)
Lois/Oliver: I ended up really liking them in s6. Oliver falling for Lois at first sight and then Lois able to call him hot to his face but then just be unimpressed was awesome. Both their breakups were very emotional and I did enjoy their friendship in the later seasons. They're very alike in many ways, in terms of their sarcastic sense of humor, and it is no surprise that they got along. In another world, I could see them making it work.
Prompts:
1. Lois gives Oliver another chance in 'Siren' and they have to deal with a long distance relationship
2. he does take her to Monte Carlo as promised
3. Lois realizes she is pregnant after Oliver leaves
Lois/Tess: I fell for these two immediately after their first scene in "Odyssey". I have to admit I had my doubts on Tess because she seemed like too much of a Lex replacement but I was won over right away and I shipped these two a lot. They had such chemistry right off the bat and it never faded. I loved them when they were at each other's throats and also loved how they became friends/trusted each other in s10. They're both strong willed, determined and they want to do what it is right- Lois is a little more brash while Tess is more calculated but at the end of the day, they ended up on the same side. I like fic set during any of those time periods, preferably AUs where Clois never got together if it is in the later seasons.
Prompts:
1. hate sex turns into real feelings
2. they meet before Tess ends up on the island
3. first Christmas together as a couple
4. ending up under mistletoe together at a party
DCEU:
Arthur/Mera: I liked them in the Aquaman movie, how they went from mistrusting each other to falling in love. It was a sweet journey to watch and I enjoyed them as a whole.
Prompts:
1. arranged marriage AU; Atlanna gets to stay with her family but in exchange, Arthur is set to be engaged to Mera
2. have to share a bed while they're on the run
3. post movie where they're figuring out their relationship while Arthur wants to maintain his land connections. Does Mera get to officially meet Arthur's dad? Is there pressure for a royal wedding?
Barry/Iris: I thought they were really cute in the Justice League Snyder Cut. I loved their meet cute and I really like Barry in general and I am really eager to find out more about DCEU Iris.
Prompts:
1. need to go undercover as a couple
2. Barry saves Iris and reporter!Iris is on the story
3. Barry gets dragged into one of Iris's stories
4. first date
Clark/Lois: They had such a sweet and mature relationship. I liked how Lois figured him out and how her belief in him was so important to Clark. I didn't watch BvS but the scene where Clark tells Lois that this is is her world and emphasizes how she is his world gets to me, as did all their reunion scenes in ZS Justice League. I appreciate that they're about to have a baby too! That's exciting! They're both kind, strong people who want to fight for what is right, no matter what it takes and it is no surprise that they're drawn to one another.
Prompts:
1. anything story related- they are chasing a lead and maybe there's even a point that they have to figure out how Clark has to disappear and Superman shows up
2. Post ZSJL- planning a wedding and preparing for a baby
3. anything set in between MoS and BvS where they are figuring out their relationship
Diana/Steve: I loved them in the Wonder Woman movie and him dying was heartbreaking. They were just amazing- I love how Diana takes a chance on Steve and Steve's willingness to do whatever it takes in general. They both have this strong sense of self and the need to fight for justice. Steve never felt smaller over Diana's strength and power and Diana appreciated how he could stand his ground and his own moral core. Plus they had excellent chemistry. I was happy to see Steve back in WW84 but I hated how they brought him back- felt very uncomfortable with the way they had him take over some guy's body, but I still want them to find their happy ending.
Prompts:
1. reincarnation AU; Steve is back in the present but he doesn't remember memories of his past.
2. WW84 AU where Steve comes back but not in someone else's body
3. creating new traditions as a couple
Gilmore Girls:
Fandom DNW: Rory shaming/bashing- she has had her struggles but who hasn't?, Jess around just to "show up" the other men
Lane/Dave: I really liked them as a couple. Lane is one of my favorite characters- she's funny, daring and loyal- and Dave was such a good guy. The way he was willing to deal with the secrecy even when it was complicated for them to see each other and read the whole Bible just to figure out what Mrs Kim meant was so great. I know they didn't work out because Adam Brody left to go on the OC but I wish it had. They seemed to really make each other happy.
Prompts:
1. AU where they do try a long distance relationship
2. rival band AUs; one of them is with Hep Alien and the other one is another band
3. canon coffee shop AU; Lane is working at Luke's (can be temporary while she's going to college) and Dave is a frequent customer. One day, his band needs a drummer and Lane volunteers
4. When Lane gets kicked out, she ends up in California and reconnects with Dave
Luke/Lorelai: One of my favorite friends to lovers ships. I really liked how they bantered and were there for each other. Plus there were tons of 'almost' moments and signs of feelings before they were able to admit it. And denial was another fun aspect of this ship too! Another slow burn ship that was worth the wait, because their first kiss was one of my favorite moments. I hated how they had so many communication issues later on, but I was happy they ended up together.
Prompts:
1. they meet at any earlier point, when Rory is just a toddler so Luke has to struggle with falling for a single mom when he is clearly still doubtful about having kids and Lorelai isn't she even wants to date
2. Lorelai doesn't have sex with Christopher but she and Luke still take a break, with lots of pining
3. anything Christmas related- town celebrations, snow, all that fun stuff
4. fics in between the finale and the Revival- Luke and Lorelai starting over and I'm good with AUs with them getting married and having kids too
Rory/Jess: These two are one of my favorite ships. Some people like to read but for Rory and Jess, it is more than that, which is why their shared passion is so important. They found a connection with someone else who understood them. Sure, Jess was surly and closed off, but he was a teenager who had been neglected by his mom and didn't really have a reason to trust anyone. I like that Rory fell despite herself but she also was able to call him out, at when they were friends. And Jess had moments of softness toward her too. When they were good, they were great, and I wish we could've seen more of them actually dating rather than it being alluded to. And I love that Jess grew up, partially inspired by Rory but not just because of her (love his relationship with Luke). Grown up Jess in s6 was a treat and I do like to pretend they found their way back to one another. like anything set pre canon, during canon, canon divergences, AU after the s7 finale, complete AUs or compliant with the Revival. Not picky in that department.
Prompts:
1. After Mitchum tells her she doesn't have it, she doesn't steal the boat but instead ends up driving off and lands in Philly, where she runs into Jess
2. Christmas party set post Revival- still in the realization of feelings but not having admitted to it and then they end up under the mistletoe
3. Jess her the truth about failing/being kicked out and they try a long distance relationship (I do think Jess would need to leave Stars Hollow to grow but how you deal is up to you if you like this prompt)
4. any dates/movie nights/etc that they went on in s3 (bookstores too!)
Rory/Paris: My favorite rivals to friends (to lovers) ship! Paris is a great character and I love her dynamics with Rory. Rory was so patient with her in the early seasons- she was able to stand up to Paris when necessary but also was open to listening her to and being there for her when she needed a shoulder. That Chilton dynamic was fun but I also loved how it resulted in them being such good friends and their dynamic even in the Revival was so solid, which was great.
Prompts:
1. fake dating where one of them claims they're dating the other for whatever reason and they have to go with it
2. post Revival; Rory is jealous when she thinks Paris is interesting/dating another woman
3. celebrating Christmas with their kids
4. they end up in a friends with benefits relationship (maybe Rory thinks she doesn't have feelings for Paris so it will be okay this time)
MCU:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (ignoring it is fine), rehash of Accords argument with bias on one side (I'm Team Cap but I don't want it to be a focus)
Other Ships I like (if you want background): Natasha/Clint, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/Maria, Clint/Coulson, Tony/Pepper, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Peggy/Angie, Clint/Coulson, Bruce/Betty
Bucky/Sam: I liked the idea of them when I noticed how much chemistry Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan had during their TWS press tour, but I think I really fell for them during CACW. I just love frenemies to lovers/bickering friends and they gave it to me in spades, especially the scene in the car and the "I hate you". The fact we got to move from that to the soft look Bucky gave Sam in Endgame was such a treat and everything that developed during TFATWS was even better. Never imagined I could get this much content for them. Bucky has been through so much and I love that Sam just doesn't treat him with kid gloves. They have this special bond and I love it a lot. Sam's one of my overall favorite characters- I loved him immediately in TWS and he is just the best. The way he is brave and fights for what he believes and is such a good friend are some of his (many) great traits. Plus he is good at cutting through the BS, which is why he didn't tolerate Rumlow's monologue or even Zemo's attempts at manipulation. I like the what ifs after TWS to anything set during or after TFATWS. Complete AUs are fun too.
Prompts:
1. going Christmas shopping together
2. one of them gets hurt protecting the other
3. they end up in the past or past Bucky ends up in the future. he flirts with Sam and present!Bucky gets jealous
4. Sam has a run in (or multiple!) with Bucky/Winter Solider pre-WS
5. soulmate AU
Bucky/Natasha: I haven't read the comics but I think the potential of these two is intriguing. They both have darkish pasts that they struggle to go past and want to make the right choices. Both have a dry sense of humor and I feel like Natasha would enjoy teasing Bucky the way she does Steve. Natasha has said to have lost to the Winter Soldier multiple times so they have clashed in the past and I definitely would've been interested in seeing more of them together in the MCU.
Prompts:
1. Natasha survives Endgame and is around for TFATWS; maybe she makes fun of Bucky as he attempts to go on dates and they both develop feelings
2. Bucky survives the Snap instead of Steve and he and Natasha grow closer during those 5 years
3. have to go undercover as a couple
Peggy/Steve: I really loved them in TFA- the way Steve was amused at Peggy immediately and Peggy being interested in pre-serum Steve just won me over. Tons of UST. This is the ship I truly didn't think I would see together again, even though I appreciated all the moments of Steve loving Peggy in the present day and Peggy still loving Steve in Agent Carter so for them to get their dance and a happy ending in one timeline made me really happy.
Prompts:
1. instead of dying in CW, Peggy is brought back to life because some external force decides she is necessary
2. Steve is found sooner
3. Peggy and Steve's first Christmas after he goes back
Peggy/Natasha: I read a fic about them once and I was sold. Of course they are from different eras but that doesn't mean it can't work as a fun AU! I think they would get along, after some initial hesitation. If you want to go on a 'What If' timeline where it is Natasha and Captain Carter, I welcome that too! I'm so glad that at least one version we got to see them at least be friends. Really enjoyed that dynamic and I feel had they met in the MCU it would be similar.
Prompts:
1. Natasha is older than she seems and Peggy has an early run in with the Black Widow
2. Modern AU; they meet on a dating app or are set up by mutual friends
3. Captain Carter! Peggy and Natasha have to go undercover as a couple for a mission
Pepper/Natasha: I really liked them together in Iron Man 2. I thought they had good chemistry and their personalities meshed well. Pepper has the no nonsense approach that I think Natasha would be drawn to and Natasha has her own layers and sense of humor that Pepper would appreciate. I wish we could've seen them interact more too.
Prompts:
1. friends with benefits/casual sex turns into real feelings
2. soulmate AU- Pepper is skeptical and Natasha doesn't believe in them
3. creating their own holiday traditions
Natasha/Sam: I loved them from their first meeting in TWS. I think they would really work as a couple, because they play off each other well. They're my favorite "could have actually happened" couple. Natasha is reluctant to trust but Sam is so open and caring and is able to really see through people. They both have their own issues but they deal with them in different ways. I don't want Sam in some sort of therapist role; I like he is understanding and sympathetic but also upfront and sarcastic and funny and Natasha would appreciate those traits. Sam would also like Natasha's subtle sense of humor and I can see him interested in her overall.
Prompts:
1. Sam survives the Snap instead of Steve
2. they meet up while looking for Bucky
3. they take care of each other while the other one is sick/hurt
Steve/Tony: I really liked them during the Avengers. Ships that initially fight but are on the same side are definitely a favorite of mine and I liked how they progressed during that movie. Their ups and downs over the course of the rest were hard but they had some really great moments. I don't blame Steve for not telling Tony about Bucky (it's easy to say Tony wouldn't have killed Bucky while watching afar and be a little more wary when you are in the moment) and I don't blame Tony for being hurt. Both are stubborn and have communication issues for sure but they do have common goals and I'm just a sucker for scenes like Tony giving Steve his shield back in Endgame and Steve being all "I do" when asked if he trusted him. The way they were able to communicate effortlessly despite all that time apart (when communication issues were the problem!) was a delight to see. Plus you know they shared a bed on Clint's farm.
Prompts:
1. Tony accidentally goes back in time pre-Iron Man and hooks up with Steve, kind of like a bucket list item for him and dismisses it when he gets back, even though he is pining. Then it turns out Steve is alive
2. Tony visits Steve in the hospital during TWS and Steve does end up telling Tony about Bucky sooner, maybe as they're figuring out a new alternative to SHIELD
3. Tony notices old!Steve while he is still alive and it changes the timeline (maybe old!Steve seeks out Tony because he misses him and thinks he wouldn't get caught but does)
Star Trek (AOS):
Bones/Uhura: I read a fic with them once and I was intrigued. Their personalities would mesh well and I can see them getting along. Bones is grumpy on the outside but really does care and I think Uhura can see inside that gruff personality. Nyota is a tough, compassionate badass and I believe that Bones would appreciate and respect her a lot.
Prompts:
1. Casual sex turns into real feelings
2. they spend shore leave together and they wake up in bed/married
3. Bones is in trouble and Uhura goes to save him
Carol Marcus/Bones: I thought they had good chemistry in Into Darkness and would've made a cute couple. Bones is wary after his divorce so I can see that he may struggle after her hiding who she was but I think they could've overcome it.
Prompts:
1. soulmate AU; Bones doesn't believe in them because his ex wife left him for her's but then it turns out he has one in Carol and he is conflicted
2. dealing with the fact she hid her identity in ID
3. one of them gets hurt protecting the other
Kirk/Spock: I liked how they butted heads and then had to work together (frenemies to lovers!!!) and how they grew to rely on each other over the course of the movies. Spock was definitely jealous of Carol in ID and him being angry over Jim's death and almost killing Khan was so emotional.
Prompts:
1. Kirk is accused of betraying the team or maybe even Spock and Spock defends him- I have seen this trope where no one including Spock believes him and they have to go crawling back (sometimes unsuccessfully); I would like it so that Spock is with him from the get go, even when maybe Kirk himself thinks he won't be
2. one of them is in danger and the other goes all out until they are rescued
3. meet as kids because Amanda and Winona are friends and then again at Academy or they keep in touch/are pen pals
Uhura/Gaila: They had a cute friendship from what we saw in XI and I would have liked to see more of Gaila in general.
Prompts:
1. Gaila gets in trouble when she is accused of helping Kirk cheat and Uhura defends her
2. Gaila is presumed dead after Earth is attacked; Uhura mourns but then they find her and she just lost her memories
3. Academy AU; They kissed once and can't stop thinking about it. Maybe Gaila thinks Uhura is into Spock and Uhura thinks Gaila is into Kirk and it's not true but they're jealous
Ted Lasso:
Fandom DNW: focus on Nate getting his "comeuppance" (fine with them reflecting on his actions but not just all about them going and trashing/lecturing him), Sam/Rebecca- together or making it seem like they're "problematic" or that she is using him as a replacement for Ted.
Keeley/Roy: I just love their relationship on the show. How they came together, and how they communicate and make it over their hurdles and how *into* each other they are. Just the best. It's not always easy but they always so supportive of one another.
Prompts:
1. Roy decides to go on the vacation alone but then Keeley ends up surprising him
2. Roy was the player that Keeley slept with when she was 18 and now they meet up again through Jamie.
3. established relationship stories- maybe them planning a wedding with the whole team (especially Ted and Rebecca) wanting to help
Keeley/Roy/Jamie: I like the potential of these three. Roy and Jamie have come so, Roy and Keeley are adorable and of course Keeley and Jamie's friendship is great too. I don't have many OT3s but they are on the list for sure.
Prompts:
1. Roy gets amnesia and goes back to his younger/more asshole self and Jamie and Keeley find it hot
2. Jamie ends up going on vacation with Roy and realizes he has feelings for him too
3. Jamie doesn't get much physical affection so Roy and Keeley try to give him hugs and comfort and he slowly used to it
4. Jamie ends up bonding with Phoebe (seems like he'd be good with kids) and wins Roy over that way, as well as continuing his friendship with Keeley
Roy/Jamie: They're just an enemies to friends dynamic that is delightful. The way they went from being at each other's throats to Roy being able the one to comfort Jamie in one of his most difficult moments was a wonderful transition. I also love the idea of Jamie having a poster of Roy/admiring him growing up. But please be respectful to Keeley. I'm good with them having an open/poly relationship.
Prompts:
1. pre Richmond. 18-20 year old Jamie having and taking an opportunity to hit on his favorite player, Roy
2. hate/casual sex turns into real feelings
3. end up trapped in a snowstorm together
Sam/Jamie: I really ended up falling for this ship. Sam is the sweetest and I like that Jamie had to work harder to get him to forgive his previous actions. The casual way Jamie drapes himself over Sam now and how far they've come really has sold me on the potential. The contrast between their relationship with their fathers is also intriguing.
Prompts:
1. AU where Jamie offers to cover for Sam when he finds out that he is dating Rebecca (while pining)
2. Jamie realizes how great Sam is and falls for him but doesn't think Sam could feel the same way (has to get over some internalized stuff too) because of how he treated him in the past
3. Fake Dating/Everyone thinks they're together-The whole team thinks they're dating and when Jamie's dad gets mad, he doubles down in spite. Sam agrees to go along with it and feelings happen
Ted/Rebecca: I liked the idea of them in s1 but I really fell for them in s2. They've come along so far and I love how Rebecca was the only one who realized Ted was having a panic attack, as well as Ted being the one to sing at Rebecca's father's funeral when she was breaking down. Even if we didn't see as much of them in the second half, it felt like they were in each other's orbits and the hint of a new confession the following season makes me still want to believe that it could be an admission of feelings.
Prompts:
1. trying to date while avoiding the media
2. Rebecca pines for Ted, thinking that he couldn't love her after she betrayed him, especially once she hears him refer to Michelle as his wife
3. Rebecca gets sick and Ted takes care of her
4. their first Christmas as a couple
Harry Potter:
Fandom DNW: over powerful Harry, villainous Dumbledore
Other Ships I Like (for background): Remus/Sirius, Neville/Luna, Bill/Fleur, Harry/Ginny, Ginny/Luna, Harry/Draco (as long as Draco isn't painted as some sort of woobie/never did anything wrong)
James/Lily: From what we know about them, I do like and ship. The way he grew up and they came together and fell in love sounds lovely. She doesn't put up with nonsense and he is charming and witty and balances her out.
Prompts:
1. They don't die on Halloween but the threat of Voldemort looms. What would it be like raising Harry in the midst of war
2. 6th/7th year where they are becoming friends/falling in love. Maybe Lily flirts and she is too subtle/he doesn't notice because he's grateful for their friendship and she thinks he's moved on
3. Working as aurors together
Ron/Hermione: Love this ship a lot. They really grew and balanced each other out. I love how she grounded him and he really is funny but also smart (you don't get to play chess that well if you're not). Both their first kiss in the movie and the book was perfect in their own way.
Prompts:
1. marriage law results in them getting an arranged marriage
2. life together in between the final chapter and the epilogue (maybe they comfort each other after nightmares and mourning losses)
3. riding a broom together
Thanks again!
Thanks so so much for signing up for this exchange! I'm excited to see what you come up with and I hope that the information I provided helps. I have left a few prompts for each ship I requested, but please don't feel obligated to stick to those prompts if you have your own idea in mind. If you have any more questions/want anything clarified, feel free to contact me via the mod and I'm more than happy to answer. :D
I do love winter fics and Christmas themes (the shopping, mistletoe, decorating the tree, etc) so if you want to add any of those in, they would be welcome. New Year's Eve too.

Smallville:
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships- I prefer the Smallville Justice League, such as Bart, J'onn, Victor, AC, etc; 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' (good with Clark and Lois having daughters, not with him having permanently given up his powers)
Other Ships I Like (if you want background ships): Lois/Kara, Tess/Kara, Lana/Kara, Oliver/Dinah, Tess/Emil, Martha/Jonathan, AC/Mera, AC/Victor, Bart/Chloe, Bart/Mia, Oliver/Chloe, Chloe/George Dean (guy she was engaged to in the AU world of s7, "Apocalypse" episode), Lana/Jason (in s4 or an AU where he doesn't go evil), Lex/Lana (again, as long it is an AU where he's not evil)
Clark/Lois: These two are an OTP for me. I've loved so many version of them in the past, since I was a kid, and this particular one sold me on their first meeting in "Crusade". They have the bickering friends/frenemies to lovers dynamic that is dear to my heart and I loved how even when they claimed they disliked one another, they were there for each other, such as when Lois was able to get through to Clark and stop him from killing Alicia's murderer and how Clark could comfort Lois over Lucy (and even with some of the guys she dated). There was definitely some flirting and feelings over the years too even when they wouldn't admit it and when they finally got together, it was amazing and for sure worth the wait. They're there for each other and really are what the other person needs. I appreciate how they can be open with each other and how Lois is so close to Clark's family (and they love her!). I like anything set during canon or divergences or post canon (or in that seven year gap) or complete AUs. While I don't ship Clana, if you do include her, I would prefer her to be a friend to both and not a villain or hurdle of some sort.
Prompts:
1. AU after 8.15 "Infamous" where Clark reverses time but Lois still remembers what happened and how that changes things
2. Clark and Lois celebrating during the holidays (can include things like him having to balance his Superman life with spending time with his girlfriend/fiancee/wife, depending on when it is set)
3. Clark and Lois get caught under mistletoe (set any time in early s8 or even before, as long as one or both is not in a relationship!)
4. Their dance/kiss in "Bride" is not interrupted and how that changes things (is Clark really ready yet? is Lois still going to panic?)
Clark/Lois/Oliver: My OT3. While I love the individual ships in it, I also love the dynamic they have as a trio. We didn't get to see as many scenes with just them as I would've liked but the ones were got were really great. They really balance one another out. Each of them has something in common with one of the others (Clark with Ollie, Clark with Lois, Lois with Ollie) but they're different enough to really make it interesting. I'm good with the three of them getting together at the same time or two of them already being together and including the third.
Prompts:
1. they get to have/finish their movie night in "Hydro" and it escalates
2. they all develop feelings for each other in a s9 AU
3. Oliver ends up spending a lot of time with Clark and Lois after his Green Arrow reveal and falls for both
4. Oliver and Lois get back together in s7 and Clark ends up hanging out with one or both after his own breakup. He realizes that Clark and Lois have feelings for each other and then that Clark also has feelings for him so he makes a plan (after consulting Lois of course). Bonus if Clark and Oliver had to kiss once already because they were undercover and Lois was very interested in the details when he told her
Clark/Oliver: Another OTP. I didn't expect to fall for them as hard as I did in s6 but I just loved their dynamic. The push and pull and the way they had this ultimate respect for one another was great but then it grew in s8-10. It was tough watching them fight but I did like how they always came back together, and even when they didn't agree, they cared about each other with Clark always believing Oliver was better and Oliver reminding Clark that the Kandorians weren't the only family that he had. One of my favorite moments was when Clark said that he hadn't quit on Oliver Queen in "Echo". One thing I do ask if that if you choose to set it in the later seasons that Lois doesn't get hurt. I am fine with handwaving the Clois romance rather than her having unrequited feelings or them breaking up because I adore her/don't want to see her hurt and I love Clois.
Prompts:
1. Clark gets Oliver for the Justice League Secret Santa (or vice versa)
2. Sleeping Beauty curse; Clark gets hit by a spell and they need to figure his true love (could work for Clark/Lois/Oliver, if they get confused and don't realize he has two)
3. Future Oliver time travels back, whether it is an accident or intentional to stop something bad (I just thought Justin Hartley looked hot graying and with a beard as he was in This is Us, pictured here) and Clark finds him attractive too. Present Oliver is jealous.
4. Clark pretends to be Oliver's fiance to visit him in the hospital (maybe he has Oliver's father's ring because the chain snapped off during the fight) but it turns out Oliver has amnesia
Lana/Tess: They're one of my rare pairs. They only had a few scenes in s8 but that was enough to sell me on their potential. They just had such an interesting dynamic- both of them were tied up with Lex at some point, in different ways, and had to find out the hard way that they'd been deceived. They both want to do good for the world and while Tess stumbled at some point, she did find her way back. Definitely feel like they would make a power couple.
Prompts:
1. soulmate AU- with all the LL, I can see it being confusing and leading to a lot of misunderstandings, especially if Lana had Tess's birth name, Lutessa, rather than Tess.
2. they hook up after Clark and Lois's wedding/reception (but please don't have them pining over either of them, especially Clark) and it leads to a friends with benefits situation
3. have to go undercover as a couple
Lois/Lana: They had their own little meet cute at the graveyard. I liked how they were friends immediately and how Lois took to Lana immediately. They clearly get along very well and they had some good chemistry to which I can see them being a couple. Lois respects Lana and Lana called Lois a good listener. I haven't read the s11 comics but it seems they had some good scenes there and Lana even gave Lois (and Clark) her blessing. On that note, please don't make Clark the villain or have them hook up because one or both are pining over him.
Prompts:
1. roommate AU; Lois stays at Metropolis University and Lana joins her later and they become roommates
2. It's Lana that Lois meets in Paris, not Jason
3. Lana keeps her powers (but not the Kryptonite absorption) and she saves Lois's life, who is promptly intrigued by the new mysterious hero in town (whether she knows it is Lana or not and you want to go for the 'triangle for two' except it's Lana is up to you)
Lois/Oliver: I ended up really liking them in s6. Oliver falling for Lois at first sight and then Lois able to call him hot to his face but then just be unimpressed was awesome. Both their breakups were very emotional and I did enjoy their friendship in the later seasons. They're very alike in many ways, in terms of their sarcastic sense of humor, and it is no surprise that they got along. In another world, I could see them making it work.
Prompts:
1. Lois gives Oliver another chance in 'Siren' and they have to deal with a long distance relationship
2. he does take her to Monte Carlo as promised
3. Lois realizes she is pregnant after Oliver leaves
Lois/Tess: I fell for these two immediately after their first scene in "Odyssey". I have to admit I had my doubts on Tess because she seemed like too much of a Lex replacement but I was won over right away and I shipped these two a lot. They had such chemistry right off the bat and it never faded. I loved them when they were at each other's throats and also loved how they became friends/trusted each other in s10. They're both strong willed, determined and they want to do what it is right- Lois is a little more brash while Tess is more calculated but at the end of the day, they ended up on the same side. I like fic set during any of those time periods, preferably AUs where Clois never got together if it is in the later seasons.
Prompts:
1. hate sex turns into real feelings
2. they meet before Tess ends up on the island
3. first Christmas together as a couple
4. ending up under mistletoe together at a party
DCEU:
Arthur/Mera: I liked them in the Aquaman movie, how they went from mistrusting each other to falling in love. It was a sweet journey to watch and I enjoyed them as a whole.
Prompts:
1. arranged marriage AU; Atlanna gets to stay with her family but in exchange, Arthur is set to be engaged to Mera
2. have to share a bed while they're on the run
3. post movie where they're figuring out their relationship while Arthur wants to maintain his land connections. Does Mera get to officially meet Arthur's dad? Is there pressure for a royal wedding?
Barry/Iris: I thought they were really cute in the Justice League Snyder Cut. I loved their meet cute and I really like Barry in general and I am really eager to find out more about DCEU Iris.
Prompts:
1. need to go undercover as a couple
2. Barry saves Iris and reporter!Iris is on the story
3. Barry gets dragged into one of Iris's stories
4. first date
Clark/Lois: They had such a sweet and mature relationship. I liked how Lois figured him out and how her belief in him was so important to Clark. I didn't watch BvS but the scene where Clark tells Lois that this is is her world and emphasizes how she is his world gets to me, as did all their reunion scenes in ZS Justice League. I appreciate that they're about to have a baby too! That's exciting! They're both kind, strong people who want to fight for what is right, no matter what it takes and it is no surprise that they're drawn to one another.
Prompts:
1. anything story related- they are chasing a lead and maybe there's even a point that they have to figure out how Clark has to disappear and Superman shows up
2. Post ZSJL- planning a wedding and preparing for a baby
3. anything set in between MoS and BvS where they are figuring out their relationship
Diana/Steve: I loved them in the Wonder Woman movie and him dying was heartbreaking. They were just amazing- I love how Diana takes a chance on Steve and Steve's willingness to do whatever it takes in general. They both have this strong sense of self and the need to fight for justice. Steve never felt smaller over Diana's strength and power and Diana appreciated how he could stand his ground and his own moral core. Plus they had excellent chemistry. I was happy to see Steve back in WW84 but I hated how they brought him back- felt very uncomfortable with the way they had him take over some guy's body, but I still want them to find their happy ending.
Prompts:
1. reincarnation AU; Steve is back in the present but he doesn't remember memories of his past.
2. WW84 AU where Steve comes back but not in someone else's body
3. creating new traditions as a couple
Gilmore Girls:
Fandom DNW: Rory shaming/bashing- she has had her struggles but who hasn't?, Jess around just to "show up" the other men
Lane/Dave: I really liked them as a couple. Lane is one of my favorite characters- she's funny, daring and loyal- and Dave was such a good guy. The way he was willing to deal with the secrecy even when it was complicated for them to see each other and read the whole Bible just to figure out what Mrs Kim meant was so great. I know they didn't work out because Adam Brody left to go on the OC but I wish it had. They seemed to really make each other happy.
Prompts:
1. AU where they do try a long distance relationship
2. rival band AUs; one of them is with Hep Alien and the other one is another band
3. canon coffee shop AU; Lane is working at Luke's (can be temporary while she's going to college) and Dave is a frequent customer. One day, his band needs a drummer and Lane volunteers
4. When Lane gets kicked out, she ends up in California and reconnects with Dave
Luke/Lorelai: One of my favorite friends to lovers ships. I really liked how they bantered and were there for each other. Plus there were tons of 'almost' moments and signs of feelings before they were able to admit it. And denial was another fun aspect of this ship too! Another slow burn ship that was worth the wait, because their first kiss was one of my favorite moments. I hated how they had so many communication issues later on, but I was happy they ended up together.
Prompts:
1. they meet at any earlier point, when Rory is just a toddler so Luke has to struggle with falling for a single mom when he is clearly still doubtful about having kids and Lorelai isn't she even wants to date
2. Lorelai doesn't have sex with Christopher but she and Luke still take a break, with lots of pining
3. anything Christmas related- town celebrations, snow, all that fun stuff
4. fics in between the finale and the Revival- Luke and Lorelai starting over and I'm good with AUs with them getting married and having kids too
Rory/Jess: These two are one of my favorite ships. Some people like to read but for Rory and Jess, it is more than that, which is why their shared passion is so important. They found a connection with someone else who understood them. Sure, Jess was surly and closed off, but he was a teenager who had been neglected by his mom and didn't really have a reason to trust anyone. I like that Rory fell despite herself but she also was able to call him out, at when they were friends. And Jess had moments of softness toward her too. When they were good, they were great, and I wish we could've seen more of them actually dating rather than it being alluded to. And I love that Jess grew up, partially inspired by Rory but not just because of her (love his relationship with Luke). Grown up Jess in s6 was a treat and I do like to pretend they found their way back to one another. like anything set pre canon, during canon, canon divergences, AU after the s7 finale, complete AUs or compliant with the Revival. Not picky in that department.
Prompts:
1. After Mitchum tells her she doesn't have it, she doesn't steal the boat but instead ends up driving off and lands in Philly, where she runs into Jess
2. Christmas party set post Revival- still in the realization of feelings but not having admitted to it and then they end up under the mistletoe
3. Jess her the truth about failing/being kicked out and they try a long distance relationship (I do think Jess would need to leave Stars Hollow to grow but how you deal is up to you if you like this prompt)
4. any dates/movie nights/etc that they went on in s3 (bookstores too!)
Rory/Paris: My favorite rivals to friends (to lovers) ship! Paris is a great character and I love her dynamics with Rory. Rory was so patient with her in the early seasons- she was able to stand up to Paris when necessary but also was open to listening her to and being there for her when she needed a shoulder. That Chilton dynamic was fun but I also loved how it resulted in them being such good friends and their dynamic even in the Revival was so solid, which was great.
Prompts:
1. fake dating where one of them claims they're dating the other for whatever reason and they have to go with it
2. post Revival; Rory is jealous when she thinks Paris is interesting/dating another woman
3. celebrating Christmas with their kids
4. they end up in a friends with benefits relationship (maybe Rory thinks she doesn't have feelings for Paris so it will be okay this time)
MCU:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (ignoring it is fine), rehash of Accords argument with bias on one side (I'm Team Cap but I don't want it to be a focus)
Other Ships I like (if you want background): Natasha/Clint, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/Maria, Clint/Coulson, Tony/Pepper, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Peggy/Angie, Clint/Coulson, Bruce/Betty
Bucky/Sam: I liked the idea of them when I noticed how much chemistry Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan had during their TWS press tour, but I think I really fell for them during CACW. I just love frenemies to lovers/bickering friends and they gave it to me in spades, especially the scene in the car and the "I hate you". The fact we got to move from that to the soft look Bucky gave Sam in Endgame was such a treat and everything that developed during TFATWS was even better. Never imagined I could get this much content for them. Bucky has been through so much and I love that Sam just doesn't treat him with kid gloves. They have this special bond and I love it a lot. Sam's one of my overall favorite characters- I loved him immediately in TWS and he is just the best. The way he is brave and fights for what he believes and is such a good friend are some of his (many) great traits. Plus he is good at cutting through the BS, which is why he didn't tolerate Rumlow's monologue or even Zemo's attempts at manipulation. I like the what ifs after TWS to anything set during or after TFATWS. Complete AUs are fun too.
Prompts:
1. going Christmas shopping together
2. one of them gets hurt protecting the other
3. they end up in the past or past Bucky ends up in the future. he flirts with Sam and present!Bucky gets jealous
4. Sam has a run in (or multiple!) with Bucky/Winter Solider pre-WS
5. soulmate AU
Bucky/Natasha: I haven't read the comics but I think the potential of these two is intriguing. They both have darkish pasts that they struggle to go past and want to make the right choices. Both have a dry sense of humor and I feel like Natasha would enjoy teasing Bucky the way she does Steve. Natasha has said to have lost to the Winter Soldier multiple times so they have clashed in the past and I definitely would've been interested in seeing more of them together in the MCU.
Prompts:
1. Natasha survives Endgame and is around for TFATWS; maybe she makes fun of Bucky as he attempts to go on dates and they both develop feelings
2. Bucky survives the Snap instead of Steve and he and Natasha grow closer during those 5 years
3. have to go undercover as a couple
Peggy/Steve: I really loved them in TFA- the way Steve was amused at Peggy immediately and Peggy being interested in pre-serum Steve just won me over. Tons of UST. This is the ship I truly didn't think I would see together again, even though I appreciated all the moments of Steve loving Peggy in the present day and Peggy still loving Steve in Agent Carter so for them to get their dance and a happy ending in one timeline made me really happy.
Prompts:
1. instead of dying in CW, Peggy is brought back to life because some external force decides she is necessary
2. Steve is found sooner
3. Peggy and Steve's first Christmas after he goes back
Peggy/Natasha: I read a fic about them once and I was sold. Of course they are from different eras but that doesn't mean it can't work as a fun AU! I think they would get along, after some initial hesitation. If you want to go on a 'What If' timeline where it is Natasha and Captain Carter, I welcome that too! I'm so glad that at least one version we got to see them at least be friends. Really enjoyed that dynamic and I feel had they met in the MCU it would be similar.
Prompts:
1. Natasha is older than she seems and Peggy has an early run in with the Black Widow
2. Modern AU; they meet on a dating app or are set up by mutual friends
3. Captain Carter! Peggy and Natasha have to go undercover as a couple for a mission
Pepper/Natasha: I really liked them together in Iron Man 2. I thought they had good chemistry and their personalities meshed well. Pepper has the no nonsense approach that I think Natasha would be drawn to and Natasha has her own layers and sense of humor that Pepper would appreciate. I wish we could've seen them interact more too.
Prompts:
1. friends with benefits/casual sex turns into real feelings
2. soulmate AU- Pepper is skeptical and Natasha doesn't believe in them
3. creating their own holiday traditions
Natasha/Sam: I loved them from their first meeting in TWS. I think they would really work as a couple, because they play off each other well. They're my favorite "could have actually happened" couple. Natasha is reluctant to trust but Sam is so open and caring and is able to really see through people. They both have their own issues but they deal with them in different ways. I don't want Sam in some sort of therapist role; I like he is understanding and sympathetic but also upfront and sarcastic and funny and Natasha would appreciate those traits. Sam would also like Natasha's subtle sense of humor and I can see him interested in her overall.
Prompts:
1. Sam survives the Snap instead of Steve
2. they meet up while looking for Bucky
3. they take care of each other while the other one is sick/hurt
Steve/Tony: I really liked them during the Avengers. Ships that initially fight but are on the same side are definitely a favorite of mine and I liked how they progressed during that movie. Their ups and downs over the course of the rest were hard but they had some really great moments. I don't blame Steve for not telling Tony about Bucky (it's easy to say Tony wouldn't have killed Bucky while watching afar and be a little more wary when you are in the moment) and I don't blame Tony for being hurt. Both are stubborn and have communication issues for sure but they do have common goals and I'm just a sucker for scenes like Tony giving Steve his shield back in Endgame and Steve being all "I do" when asked if he trusted him. The way they were able to communicate effortlessly despite all that time apart (when communication issues were the problem!) was a delight to see. Plus you know they shared a bed on Clint's farm.
Prompts:
1. Tony accidentally goes back in time pre-Iron Man and hooks up with Steve, kind of like a bucket list item for him and dismisses it when he gets back, even though he is pining. Then it turns out Steve is alive
2. Tony visits Steve in the hospital during TWS and Steve does end up telling Tony about Bucky sooner, maybe as they're figuring out a new alternative to SHIELD
3. Tony notices old!Steve while he is still alive and it changes the timeline (maybe old!Steve seeks out Tony because he misses him and thinks he wouldn't get caught but does)
Star Trek (AOS):
Bones/Uhura: I read a fic with them once and I was intrigued. Their personalities would mesh well and I can see them getting along. Bones is grumpy on the outside but really does care and I think Uhura can see inside that gruff personality. Nyota is a tough, compassionate badass and I believe that Bones would appreciate and respect her a lot.
Prompts:
1. Casual sex turns into real feelings
2. they spend shore leave together and they wake up in bed/married
3. Bones is in trouble and Uhura goes to save him
Carol Marcus/Bones: I thought they had good chemistry in Into Darkness and would've made a cute couple. Bones is wary after his divorce so I can see that he may struggle after her hiding who she was but I think they could've overcome it.
Prompts:
1. soulmate AU; Bones doesn't believe in them because his ex wife left him for her's but then it turns out he has one in Carol and he is conflicted
2. dealing with the fact she hid her identity in ID
3. one of them gets hurt protecting the other
Kirk/Spock: I liked how they butted heads and then had to work together (frenemies to lovers!!!) and how they grew to rely on each other over the course of the movies. Spock was definitely jealous of Carol in ID and him being angry over Jim's death and almost killing Khan was so emotional.
Prompts:
1. Kirk is accused of betraying the team or maybe even Spock and Spock defends him- I have seen this trope where no one including Spock believes him and they have to go crawling back (sometimes unsuccessfully); I would like it so that Spock is with him from the get go, even when maybe Kirk himself thinks he won't be
2. one of them is in danger and the other goes all out until they are rescued
3. meet as kids because Amanda and Winona are friends and then again at Academy or they keep in touch/are pen pals
Uhura/Gaila: They had a cute friendship from what we saw in XI and I would have liked to see more of Gaila in general.
Prompts:
1. Gaila gets in trouble when she is accused of helping Kirk cheat and Uhura defends her
2. Gaila is presumed dead after Earth is attacked; Uhura mourns but then they find her and she just lost her memories
3. Academy AU; They kissed once and can't stop thinking about it. Maybe Gaila thinks Uhura is into Spock and Uhura thinks Gaila is into Kirk and it's not true but they're jealous
Ted Lasso:
Fandom DNW: focus on Nate getting his "comeuppance" (fine with them reflecting on his actions but not just all about them going and trashing/lecturing him), Sam/Rebecca- together or making it seem like they're "problematic" or that she is using him as a replacement for Ted.
Keeley/Roy: I just love their relationship on the show. How they came together, and how they communicate and make it over their hurdles and how *into* each other they are. Just the best. It's not always easy but they always so supportive of one another.
Prompts:
1. Roy decides to go on the vacation alone but then Keeley ends up surprising him
2. Roy was the player that Keeley slept with when she was 18 and now they meet up again through Jamie.
3. established relationship stories- maybe them planning a wedding with the whole team (especially Ted and Rebecca) wanting to help
Keeley/Roy/Jamie: I like the potential of these three. Roy and Jamie have come so, Roy and Keeley are adorable and of course Keeley and Jamie's friendship is great too. I don't have many OT3s but they are on the list for sure.
Prompts:
1. Roy gets amnesia and goes back to his younger/more asshole self and Jamie and Keeley find it hot
2. Jamie ends up going on vacation with Roy and realizes he has feelings for him too
3. Jamie doesn't get much physical affection so Roy and Keeley try to give him hugs and comfort and he slowly used to it
4. Jamie ends up bonding with Phoebe (seems like he'd be good with kids) and wins Roy over that way, as well as continuing his friendship with Keeley
Roy/Jamie: They're just an enemies to friends dynamic that is delightful. The way they went from being at each other's throats to Roy being able the one to comfort Jamie in one of his most difficult moments was a wonderful transition. I also love the idea of Jamie having a poster of Roy/admiring him growing up. But please be respectful to Keeley. I'm good with them having an open/poly relationship.
Prompts:
1. pre Richmond. 18-20 year old Jamie having and taking an opportunity to hit on his favorite player, Roy
2. hate/casual sex turns into real feelings
3. end up trapped in a snowstorm together
Sam/Jamie: I really ended up falling for this ship. Sam is the sweetest and I like that Jamie had to work harder to get him to forgive his previous actions. The casual way Jamie drapes himself over Sam now and how far they've come really has sold me on the potential. The contrast between their relationship with their fathers is also intriguing.
Prompts:
1. AU where Jamie offers to cover for Sam when he finds out that he is dating Rebecca (while pining)
2. Jamie realizes how great Sam is and falls for him but doesn't think Sam could feel the same way (has to get over some internalized stuff too) because of how he treated him in the past
3. Fake Dating/Everyone thinks they're together-The whole team thinks they're dating and when Jamie's dad gets mad, he doubles down in spite. Sam agrees to go along with it and feelings happen
Ted/Rebecca: I liked the idea of them in s1 but I really fell for them in s2. They've come along so far and I love how Rebecca was the only one who realized Ted was having a panic attack, as well as Ted being the one to sing at Rebecca's father's funeral when she was breaking down. Even if we didn't see as much of them in the second half, it felt like they were in each other's orbits and the hint of a new confession the following season makes me still want to believe that it could be an admission of feelings.
Prompts:
1. trying to date while avoiding the media
2. Rebecca pines for Ted, thinking that he couldn't love her after she betrayed him, especially once she hears him refer to Michelle as his wife
3. Rebecca gets sick and Ted takes care of her
4. their first Christmas as a couple
Harry Potter:
Fandom DNW: over powerful Harry, villainous Dumbledore
Other Ships I Like (for background): Remus/Sirius, Neville/Luna, Bill/Fleur, Harry/Ginny, Ginny/Luna, Harry/Draco (as long as Draco isn't painted as some sort of woobie/never did anything wrong)
James/Lily: From what we know about them, I do like and ship. The way he grew up and they came together and fell in love sounds lovely. She doesn't put up with nonsense and he is charming and witty and balances her out.
Prompts:
1. They don't die on Halloween but the threat of Voldemort looms. What would it be like raising Harry in the midst of war
2. 6th/7th year where they are becoming friends/falling in love. Maybe Lily flirts and she is too subtle/he doesn't notice because he's grateful for their friendship and she thinks he's moved on
3. Working as aurors together
Ron/Hermione: Love this ship a lot. They really grew and balanced each other out. I love how she grounded him and he really is funny but also smart (you don't get to play chess that well if you're not). Both their first kiss in the movie and the book was perfect in their own way.
Prompts:
1. marriage law results in them getting an arranged marriage
2. life together in between the final chapter and the epilogue (maybe they comfort each other after nightmares and mourning losses)
3. riding a broom together
Thanks again!
