Smallville:
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, 'crisis on infinite earths' (good with clark and lois having daughters, not with him having permanently given up his powers), Chloe-centric fics (I had mild issues with the character starting in s8 and I'm not really that comfortable after what the actress did)
Other Ships I like (if you need background): Martha/Jonathan, Lois/Kara, Kara/Jimmy, Kara/Lana, Kara/Chloe, Oliver/Dinah, Oliver/Chloe, Chloe/Victor, Chloe/George Dean (guy she was with in Apocalypse AU), Chloe/Lana, Chloe/Bart, Bart/Mia, AC/Mera, Lex/Lana (as long as he doesn't go evil), Lana/Jason (again, as long as he doesn't go evil), Tess/Emil
Gen/Friendships: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & Kara, Clark & Lana, Clark & Lois, Clark & Oliver, Clark & Lex, Clark & Tess, Lois & Lana, Lois & Martha
Clark/Lois: A canon OTP for me. I really loved other version of Clois but this one is my favorite. I fell for them immediately and I absolutely loved their frenemies to lovers journey- their banter was fun, but I also enjoyed the way they got close immediately, in between Clark being there for Lois after her sister left again (and later with even with some of the guys she dated- he definitely came off as jealous of AC) and Lois stopping Clark from murdering Alicia's killer- they were really strong friends and their journey to realizing how they felt was lovely. They definitely flirted (see: dunk tank scene) and suppressed some feelings over the years, but when they were finally on the same page and got together, it was well worth the wait. He really lets her in and fights for her and she makes him laugh and loves all sides of Clark. In the end, they just love each other for all that they are, flaws and all. I only ask that you don't make Lana the villain should you go this route. I am not a fan of Clana but I also think she would be supportive and not derail them.
Prompts:
1. Clark and Lois trying to figure out Valentine's Day while he has to balance his responsibilities (it would be nice for them to have a semi normal one for once! or not)
2. Lois gets the first interview with Superman, or anything set in that seven year gap that the finale didn't show
3. Lois remembers what happened in 'Crimson' and has to deal with that plus new growing feelings
4. When Lois leaves in s4, she doesn't come back and they run into each other again at the Daily Planet
Clark/Lois & Martha: I love Martha's relationship with Clark and Lois, individually and together. She was always so supportive of Lois and she seemed happy for them. Would love to see more of that dynamic.
Prompts:
1. Martha helping out when Lois gets pregnant
2. Lois and Martha helping cover for Clark when he has to go save the day
3. any family/fluffy type themes (holidays, birthdays, Mother's Day)
Clark/Lois/Oliver: They're my OT3. I really liked the dynamic between not only the individual relationships, but the three of them together, even if we didn't get those scenes as much as I would've liked. I think they all have stuff in common with one another but also are different in ways to balance each other out. I'm good with two of them being together and adding the third or all three getting together at the same time.
Prompts:
1. They get to finish their movie night in "Hydro"
2. s9 AU where they all develop feelings for one another instead of a triangle
3. in s10, Oliver hangs out with Clark and Lois to hide away from the media after his revelation and feelings happen
4. s7 AU where Lois/Ollie got back together and Ollie notices that that Clark and Lois have mutual interest too, and makes a plan. After consulting Lois of course. Bonus if Clark and Ollie had to kiss while undercover or something and he can't stop thinking about it.
Clark/Oliver: My fanon OTP. I really fell for them out of the blue in s6. I really like the way that their friendship developed and how Clark always believed in Ollie, even when Oliver didn't believe in himself, and how Oliver secretly looked up to Clark. It was tough watching them have their ups and downs, but I felt like they came out of it stronger. If you do go this route though, I would prefer Clark and Lois never having been together- feel free to hand wave if it is set in the later seasons, because I don't want them to have broken up or for Lois to have her heart broken, since I love Clois/Lois.
Prompts:
1. Clark meets Oliver during his red k summer and when Oliver leaves to go on his yacht trip, Clark ends up coming along and they both are stuck on the island
2. awkward first date
3. 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/Lois: They had their own little meet cute at the graveyard. I liked how they were friends right away 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 has listed her virtues to even Clark 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)
Lana/Tess: My rarest ship! I just always thought Tess had better chemistry with the women and Lana wasn't an exception. They sold me on the few scenes they had in s8 and I just fell in love with the potential.
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/Tess: I don't think I've fallen for a ship as quickly as I did for these two. They had such chemistry right off the bat (I really had an "OH" moment during their first scene in 'Odyssey') 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. one of them hates Valentine's Day and the other decides to change their mind via the Secret Admirer route
Gilmore Girls:
Fandom DNW: Rory shaming/bashing, Jess around just to "show up" the other men
Other Ships I like (for background): Paris/Doyle, Paris/Jamie, Sookie/Jackson, Richard/Emily. I'm also fine with Lane/Zach if you want to set it in the later seasons
Friendships/Gen: Rory & Lorelai, Rory & Lane, Rory & Paris, Paris & Jess, Jess & Lane, Luke & Jess
Lane/Dave: I really loved these two together. 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. When Lane gets kicked out, she ends up in California and reunites with Dave
2. Rival band AU; where they're in different bands and meet at a festival
3. canon coffee shop/different first meeting AU: Lane works at Luke's (maybe part time) and Dave is a regular, who suddenly needs a replacement drummer for their band
Luke/Lorelai: One of my favorite friends to lovers ships. I really liked how they bantered and were there for each other, even in s7 when they were broken up. 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. Jess tells 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)
2. any dates/movie nights/etc that they went on in s3 (bookstores too!)
3. they run into each other post finale while Rory is on her campaign tour and begin to keep in touch
Paris/Rory: 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. 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 (for background): Tony/Pepper, Pepper/Natasha, Natasha/Clint, Natasha/Darcy, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/Peggy, Natasha/Maria, Natasha/Sam, Natasha/Rhodey, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Bruce/Betty, Peggy/Angie, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/Sam, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Carol/Rhodey, Nebula/Rhodey, Bucky/Darcy
Gen/Friendships: anything that's listed in the ship section, Steve & Bucky (I don't ship them), Steve & Sam, Steve & Natasha, any combo of the Avengers, Tony & Rhodey, Jane & Darcy
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
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. one of them gets hurt protecting the other
2. they end up in the past or past Bucky ends up in the future. he flirts with Sam and present!Bucky gets jealous
3. Sam has a run in (or multiple!) with Bucky/Winter Solider pre-WS
4. soulmate AU
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. modern AU where they work for different organizations and meet up on a mission
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. I just would prefer that while they work on their issues, I don't want one of them grovelling to the other the entire time.
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)
4. Sharing a bed at Clint's farm
DCEU:
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Justice League, Lois & Diana, Clark & Steve, Lois & Steve
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. going on a mission together
4. anything fluffy- dates, holding hands, Valentine's Day, anything with snow
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
Friendships/Gen: any combo of AFC Richmond players, Ted & Beard, Ted & Roy, Ted & Jamie, Roy Beard, Roy & Jamie, Rebecca & Higgins, Rebecca & Keeley
Jamie & Ted: I really loved these two together. Ted slowly becoming a father figure to Jamie is so near and dear to my heart. He named the figurine Ted! Clearly Ted was going through his own issues in the second season too, but I would love to read about them mutually supporting one another, especially with Ted's son being in another country and Jamie's dad just being awful.
Prompts:
1. Jamie's reaction to the reveal of Ted's panic attacks
2. Jamie bonds with Henry
3. Jamie gets hurt and worries about his career; Ted is there to give him advice and reassurance
Jamie/Keeley/Roy: I like the potential of these three. Roy and Jamie have come so far, Roy and Keeley are adorable and of course Keeley and Jamie's friendship is great too. Especially after 2.08.
Prompts:
1. Roy and Keeley take care of Jamie after dealing with his dad and they all develop feelings, though maybe Jamie thinks it is unrequited
2. Jamie doesn't get much physical affection so Roy and Keeley try to give him hugs and comfort and he slowly used to it
3. Roy gets amnesia and starts acting like he was in his twenties and both Keeley and Jamie think it is hot
Jamie/Keeley/Roy & Phoebe Kent: I already love Phoebe with Roy and Keeley and Jamie seems good with kids so it would be fun to add him to the picture too.
Prompts:
1. Jamie bonds with Phoebe first and then gets closer to Roy & Keeley
2. media gets a picture of Jamie picking up Phoebe from school and now they have to scramble to cover up their relationship
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.
Prompts:
1. Roy was the player that Keeley slept with when she was 18 and now they meet up again through Jamie.
2. established relationship stories- maybe them planning a wedding with the whole team (especially Ted and Rebecca) wanting to help
3. they end up going on vacation together
Keeley/Roy & Phoebe: I like the two of them together but I also love them as a unit with Phoebe. They're all so adorable together, especially in the Christmas episode.
Prompts:
1. Phoebe helps Roy propose
2. taking Phoebe to an amusement park
Sam/Jamie: The casual way Jamie drapes himself over Sam now and how far they've come really has sold me on the potential of this ship. The contrast between their relationship with their fathers is also intriguing.
Prompts:
1. 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. I am personally not a fan of Sam/Rebecca but please don't bash it or make it seem like Rebecca is using him as a substitute for Ted or in some dark place (the phrase 'dark forest' really makes me cringe, especially with the racial implications).
Prompts:
1. trying to date while avoiding the media
2. deciding to spend Valentine's Day together since they're both single
3. Rebecca gets sick and Ted takes care of her
Star Trek (AOS):
Other Ships I like (for background): Carol Marcus/Bones, Uhura/Bones, Gaila/Uhura
Friendships/Gen: Kirk & Bones, Kirk & Winona, any combo of the Enterprise crew, Spock & Amanda
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.
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
Elementary:
Friendships/Gen: Sherlock & Marcus, Joan & Sherlock, Joan & Marcus, Joan & Ms. Hudson, Sherlock & Alfredo
Jamie/Joan: They're my favorite enemies ship. I find their dynamic so intriguing and full of chemistry. Jamie being fascinated by Joan and thinking she will get an upper hand and move on eventually but just *doesn't* and Joan actually outsmarting her is so much fun to watch.
Prompts:
1. they're both undercover and have to protect their own identities and each other
2. AU with artist Jamie + Joan as her muse
3. Jamie asks for help regarding her daughter
Sherlock/Joan: As much as I love their friendship, I do ship them too. They just have such a great dynamic- how she stands up for herself and can openly draw her boundaries and how Sherlock grew and changed over the course of the show. The fact that they can admit they are two people who love each other is heartwarming.
Prompts:
1. friends with benefits/casual sex turns into real feelings
2. AU where Joan stays a doctor and Sherlock is a frequent patient and eventually she ends up dragged into his cases (could work for a friendship fic too)
3. soulmate AU
4. Joan has to fake her death and then they have to deal with the grief and reunion
Sherlock/Joan & Arthur: Add in Arthur to the above dynamic and it is so much better. I'd be interested in what their post series lives look like, especially as Joan fights her cancer. Of course if you want to move past that and prefer the point where she is recovered, that works with me too.
Prompts:
1. celebrating a birthday or holiday
2. Arthur plays detective at school and Joan and Sherlock are dragged in
3. a practical proposal
MMPR:
Fandom DNW: Kat bashing, Kimberly having been forced to write the letter
Other Ships I like (for background): Kat/Jason, Jason/Trini, Billy/Trini- feel free to ask if it is not listed here because I might not have thought of it
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Power Rangers
Kimberly/Tommy: This was my 'shipped before I knew what shipping was' ship. The original OTP. I just loved Kim as a kid and Tommy felt like such a dashing knight in shining armor. I thought they were really sweet together. I love how Kim was so compassionate and caring but could also kick butt and Tommy was a great guy with his own insecurities who had this big heart and totally was in love with Kim. Really I would love anything from the show to the '95 movie (which I used to rewatch all the time as a kid) to set post breakup. As long as there isn't really any overly dramatic reason for the breakup (she was held captive, mind controlled, secretly pregnant, etc).
Prompts:
1. run into each other years later; maybe they're trapped somewhere (elevator, airport during a snowstorm) and reconnect
2. Tommy responds to the letter
3. date night
Thank you for signing up for this exchange! I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with an I hope that the details I've provided are helpful. While I have tried to leave a few prompts for each ship, please feel free to disregard them if you get another idea. If you have any questions and/or clarifications, you're more than welcome to contact me via the mods and I'm happy to answer. :D

Smallville:
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, 'crisis on infinite earths' (good with clark and lois having daughters, not with him having permanently given up his powers), Chloe-centric fics (I had mild issues with the character starting in s8 and I'm not really that comfortable after what the actress did)
Other Ships I like (if you need background): Martha/Jonathan, Lois/Kara, Kara/Jimmy, Kara/Lana, Kara/Chloe, Oliver/Dinah, Oliver/Chloe, Chloe/Victor, Chloe/George Dean (guy she was with in Apocalypse AU), Chloe/Lana, Chloe/Bart, Bart/Mia, AC/Mera, Lex/Lana (as long as he doesn't go evil), Lana/Jason (again, as long as he doesn't go evil), Tess/Emil
Gen/Friendships: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & Kara, Clark & Lana, Clark & Lois, Clark & Oliver, Clark & Lex, Clark & Tess, Lois & Lana, Lois & Martha
Clark/Lois: A canon OTP for me. I really loved other version of Clois but this one is my favorite. I fell for them immediately and I absolutely loved their frenemies to lovers journey- their banter was fun, but I also enjoyed the way they got close immediately, in between Clark being there for Lois after her sister left again (and later with even with some of the guys she dated- he definitely came off as jealous of AC) and Lois stopping Clark from murdering Alicia's killer- they were really strong friends and their journey to realizing how they felt was lovely. They definitely flirted (see: dunk tank scene) and suppressed some feelings over the years, but when they were finally on the same page and got together, it was well worth the wait. He really lets her in and fights for her and she makes him laugh and loves all sides of Clark. In the end, they just love each other for all that they are, flaws and all. I only ask that you don't make Lana the villain should you go this route. I am not a fan of Clana but I also think she would be supportive and not derail them.
Prompts:
1. Clark and Lois trying to figure out Valentine's Day while he has to balance his responsibilities (it would be nice for them to have a semi normal one for once! or not)
2. Lois gets the first interview with Superman, or anything set in that seven year gap that the finale didn't show
3. Lois remembers what happened in 'Crimson' and has to deal with that plus new growing feelings
4. When Lois leaves in s4, she doesn't come back and they run into each other again at the Daily Planet
Clark/Lois & Martha: I love Martha's relationship with Clark and Lois, individually and together. She was always so supportive of Lois and she seemed happy for them. Would love to see more of that dynamic.
Prompts:
1. Martha helping out when Lois gets pregnant
2. Lois and Martha helping cover for Clark when he has to go save the day
3. any family/fluffy type themes (holidays, birthdays, Mother's Day)
Clark/Lois/Oliver: They're my OT3. I really liked the dynamic between not only the individual relationships, but the three of them together, even if we didn't get those scenes as much as I would've liked. I think they all have stuff in common with one another but also are different in ways to balance each other out. I'm good with two of them being together and adding the third or all three getting together at the same time.
Prompts:
1. They get to finish their movie night in "Hydro"
2. s9 AU where they all develop feelings for one another instead of a triangle
3. in s10, Oliver hangs out with Clark and Lois to hide away from the media after his revelation and feelings happen
4. s7 AU where Lois/Ollie got back together and Ollie notices that that Clark and Lois have mutual interest too, and makes a plan. After consulting Lois of course. Bonus if Clark and Ollie had to kiss while undercover or something and he can't stop thinking about it.
Clark/Oliver: My fanon OTP. I really fell for them out of the blue in s6. I really like the way that their friendship developed and how Clark always believed in Ollie, even when Oliver didn't believe in himself, and how Oliver secretly looked up to Clark. It was tough watching them have their ups and downs, but I felt like they came out of it stronger. If you do go this route though, I would prefer Clark and Lois never having been together- feel free to hand wave if it is set in the later seasons, because I don't want them to have broken up or for Lois to have her heart broken, since I love Clois/Lois.
Prompts:
1. Clark meets Oliver during his red k summer and when Oliver leaves to go on his yacht trip, Clark ends up coming along and they both are stuck on the island
2. awkward first date
3. 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/Lois: They had their own little meet cute at the graveyard. I liked how they were friends right away 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 has listed her virtues to even Clark 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)
Lana/Tess: My rarest ship! I just always thought Tess had better chemistry with the women and Lana wasn't an exception. They sold me on the few scenes they had in s8 and I just fell in love with the potential.
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/Tess: I don't think I've fallen for a ship as quickly as I did for these two. They had such chemistry right off the bat (I really had an "OH" moment during their first scene in 'Odyssey') 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. one of them hates Valentine's Day and the other decides to change their mind via the Secret Admirer route
Gilmore Girls:
Fandom DNW: Rory shaming/bashing, Jess around just to "show up" the other men
Other Ships I like (for background): Paris/Doyle, Paris/Jamie, Sookie/Jackson, Richard/Emily. I'm also fine with Lane/Zach if you want to set it in the later seasons
Friendships/Gen: Rory & Lorelai, Rory & Lane, Rory & Paris, Paris & Jess, Jess & Lane, Luke & Jess
Lane/Dave: I really loved these two together. 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. When Lane gets kicked out, she ends up in California and reunites with Dave
2. Rival band AU; where they're in different bands and meet at a festival
3. canon coffee shop/different first meeting AU: Lane works at Luke's (maybe part time) and Dave is a regular, who suddenly needs a replacement drummer for their band
Luke/Lorelai: One of my favorite friends to lovers ships. I really liked how they bantered and were there for each other, even in s7 when they were broken up. 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. Jess tells 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)
2. any dates/movie nights/etc that they went on in s3 (bookstores too!)
3. they run into each other post finale while Rory is on her campaign tour and begin to keep in touch
Paris/Rory: 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. 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 (for background): Tony/Pepper, Pepper/Natasha, Natasha/Clint, Natasha/Darcy, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/Peggy, Natasha/Maria, Natasha/Sam, Natasha/Rhodey, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Bruce/Betty, Peggy/Angie, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/Sam, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Carol/Rhodey, Nebula/Rhodey, Bucky/Darcy
Gen/Friendships: anything that's listed in the ship section, Steve & Bucky (I don't ship them), Steve & Sam, Steve & Natasha, any combo of the Avengers, Tony & Rhodey, Jane & Darcy
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
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. one of them gets hurt protecting the other
2. they end up in the past or past Bucky ends up in the future. he flirts with Sam and present!Bucky gets jealous
3. Sam has a run in (or multiple!) with Bucky/Winter Solider pre-WS
4. soulmate AU
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. modern AU where they work for different organizations and meet up on a mission
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. I just would prefer that while they work on their issues, I don't want one of them grovelling to the other the entire time.
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)
4. Sharing a bed at Clint's farm
DCEU:
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Justice League, Lois & Diana, Clark & Steve, Lois & Steve
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. going on a mission together
4. anything fluffy- dates, holding hands, Valentine's Day, anything with snow
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
Friendships/Gen: any combo of AFC Richmond players, Ted & Beard, Ted & Roy, Ted & Jamie, Roy Beard, Roy & Jamie, Rebecca & Higgins, Rebecca & Keeley
Jamie & Ted: I really loved these two together. Ted slowly becoming a father figure to Jamie is so near and dear to my heart. He named the figurine Ted! Clearly Ted was going through his own issues in the second season too, but I would love to read about them mutually supporting one another, especially with Ted's son being in another country and Jamie's dad just being awful.
Prompts:
1. Jamie's reaction to the reveal of Ted's panic attacks
2. Jamie bonds with Henry
3. Jamie gets hurt and worries about his career; Ted is there to give him advice and reassurance
Jamie/Keeley/Roy: I like the potential of these three. Roy and Jamie have come so far, Roy and Keeley are adorable and of course Keeley and Jamie's friendship is great too. Especially after 2.08.
Prompts:
1. Roy and Keeley take care of Jamie after dealing with his dad and they all develop feelings, though maybe Jamie thinks it is unrequited
2. Jamie doesn't get much physical affection so Roy and Keeley try to give him hugs and comfort and he slowly used to it
3. Roy gets amnesia and starts acting like he was in his twenties and both Keeley and Jamie think it is hot
Jamie/Keeley/Roy & Phoebe Kent: I already love Phoebe with Roy and Keeley and Jamie seems good with kids so it would be fun to add him to the picture too.
Prompts:
1. Jamie bonds with Phoebe first and then gets closer to Roy & Keeley
2. media gets a picture of Jamie picking up Phoebe from school and now they have to scramble to cover up their relationship
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.
Prompts:
1. Roy was the player that Keeley slept with when she was 18 and now they meet up again through Jamie.
2. established relationship stories- maybe them planning a wedding with the whole team (especially Ted and Rebecca) wanting to help
3. they end up going on vacation together
Keeley/Roy & Phoebe: I like the two of them together but I also love them as a unit with Phoebe. They're all so adorable together, especially in the Christmas episode.
Prompts:
1. Phoebe helps Roy propose
2. taking Phoebe to an amusement park
Sam/Jamie: The casual way Jamie drapes himself over Sam now and how far they've come really has sold me on the potential of this ship. The contrast between their relationship with their fathers is also intriguing.
Prompts:
1. 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. I am personally not a fan of Sam/Rebecca but please don't bash it or make it seem like Rebecca is using him as a substitute for Ted or in some dark place (the phrase 'dark forest' really makes me cringe, especially with the racial implications).
Prompts:
1. trying to date while avoiding the media
2. deciding to spend Valentine's Day together since they're both single
3. Rebecca gets sick and Ted takes care of her
Star Trek (AOS):
Other Ships I like (for background): Carol Marcus/Bones, Uhura/Bones, Gaila/Uhura
Friendships/Gen: Kirk & Bones, Kirk & Winona, any combo of the Enterprise crew, Spock & Amanda
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.
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
Elementary:
Friendships/Gen: Sherlock & Marcus, Joan & Sherlock, Joan & Marcus, Joan & Ms. Hudson, Sherlock & Alfredo
Jamie/Joan: They're my favorite enemies ship. I find their dynamic so intriguing and full of chemistry. Jamie being fascinated by Joan and thinking she will get an upper hand and move on eventually but just *doesn't* and Joan actually outsmarting her is so much fun to watch.
Prompts:
1. they're both undercover and have to protect their own identities and each other
2. AU with artist Jamie + Joan as her muse
3. Jamie asks for help regarding her daughter
Sherlock/Joan: As much as I love their friendship, I do ship them too. They just have such a great dynamic- how she stands up for herself and can openly draw her boundaries and how Sherlock grew and changed over the course of the show. The fact that they can admit they are two people who love each other is heartwarming.
Prompts:
1. friends with benefits/casual sex turns into real feelings
2. AU where Joan stays a doctor and Sherlock is a frequent patient and eventually she ends up dragged into his cases (could work for a friendship fic too)
3. soulmate AU
4. Joan has to fake her death and then they have to deal with the grief and reunion
Sherlock/Joan & Arthur: Add in Arthur to the above dynamic and it is so much better. I'd be interested in what their post series lives look like, especially as Joan fights her cancer. Of course if you want to move past that and prefer the point where she is recovered, that works with me too.
Prompts:
1. celebrating a birthday or holiday
2. Arthur plays detective at school and Joan and Sherlock are dragged in
3. a practical proposal
MMPR:
Fandom DNW: Kat bashing, Kimberly having been forced to write the letter
Other Ships I like (for background): Kat/Jason, Jason/Trini, Billy/Trini- feel free to ask if it is not listed here because I might not have thought of it
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Power Rangers
Kimberly/Tommy: This was my 'shipped before I knew what shipping was' ship. The original OTP. I just loved Kim as a kid and Tommy felt like such a dashing knight in shining armor. I thought they were really sweet together. I love how Kim was so compassionate and caring but could also kick butt and Tommy was a great guy with his own insecurities who had this big heart and totally was in love with Kim. Really I would love anything from the show to the '95 movie (which I used to rewatch all the time as a kid) to set post breakup. As long as there isn't really any overly dramatic reason for the breakup (she was held captive, mind controlled, secretly pregnant, etc).
Prompts:
1. run into each other years later; maybe they're trapped somewhere (elevator, airport during a snowstorm) and reconnect
2. Tommy responds to the letter
3. date night
