Smallville:

Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' (mostly the Clark having given up his powers aspect), focus on Chloe

Other Ships I like (for background): Martha/Jonathan, Lois/Tess, Lois/Lana, Lois/Kara, Kara/Jimmy, Kara/Lana, Kara/Chloe, 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

Friendships/Gen: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & Kara, Clark & Lana, Clark & Lois, LOis & Oliver, Clark & Lex, Clark & Tess, Lois & Lana, Lois & Martha

Clark/Oliver: One of my major OTPs. 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. awkward first date
2. having to go undercover as a couple
3. Clark pretends to be Oliver's fiance to see him in the hospital (maybe Oliver lost his parents ring in the fight and Clark picked it up and the nurse assumes) and it turns out Oliver has amnesia
4. Sleeping Beauty curse; Clark gets hit by a spell and they need to figure his true love

Boy Meets World:

Other Ships I like (for background): Shawn/Angela, Cory/Topanga

Eric/Jack: I liked them when the show was airing. They just had such chemistry and such a connection. They balance each other out quite well too. The way Jack couldn't stay away from Eric even in that episode where they had the fight and then the future time jump was great. I haven't seen many episodes of Girl Meets World, but I have a vague idea what happens if you want to set it around there.

Prompts:
1. Eric needs a fake spouse for political reasons and Jack ends up being dragged into it
2. they haven't been in touch for a while and are set up on a blind date
3. they get drunk married

Chronicles of Narnia:

Peter/Caspian: I really fell for these two when I saw the Prince Caspian. I'm a sucker for the dynamic which involves two people who bicker but are on the same side. I liked Caspian's perception vs the reality and the angst of Peter having to leave all the Narnians behind. I definitely wish we could've seen more of those two.

Prompts:
1. Peter ends up staying in Narnia
2. Caspian needs a spouse and Peter ends up going along with it
3. Caspian goes to London to get Peter back

Friends:

Fandom DNWs: Ross bashing, Monica/Chandler (I would rather them not having been together at all than breaking up/him cheating on her)

Other Ships I like: Ross/Rachel, Phoebe/Mike, Monica/Rachel, Monica/Richard, Monica/Pete, Ross/Julie, Ross/Charlie

Joey/Chandler: As much as I liked Mondler, I loved these two a lot too. I liked how much they cared for and supported each other, especially Chandler really believing in Joey's acting career and Joey appreciating the support. It was sweet how in canon Chandler factored Joey into his long term plans and then it worked out. Plus it was pretty heartbreaking every time they fought. I think they would've been great as a couple.

Prompts:
1. Chandler agrees to kiss Joey to help him get the part and ends up with feelings
2. Chandler makes a move on Joey when drunk and forgets the next morning
3. one of them sees the other with a guy and gets jealous

Kal Ho Naa Ho:

Aman/Rohit: I fell for those two in the movie. I know the jokes didn't age well but their excellent chemistry certainly did. Rohit being the one to be there for one of the final scenes with Aman as well as their push and pull and how they balanced one another out gave me a lot of feelings.

Prompts:
1. movie AU- Aman is trying to set up Rohit with Naina while falling in love with Rohit and not realizing Rohit feels the same
2. either Naina or Rohit is Aman's doctor and they either meet that way or get introduced
3. Rohit gets set up with Aman
4. drunken one night stand

Dostana:

Sam/Kunal: They had great chemistry and fake relationships are one of my favorite tropes. I liked how Sam's mom really ended up accepting Kunal and how they still had a strong bond at the end of the movie.

Prompts:
1. anything with them realizing their feelings post movie
2. arranged marriage AU
3. they fall into a friends with benefits relationship at some point and then end up having real feelings
4. one of them gets hurt/sick and the other rushes to their side

MCU:

Fandom DNWs: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashed (ignore it if you want), CW recap with obvious bias toward one side (I'm Team Cap but I don't want the rehash)

Other Ships I like (for background): Bucky/Natasha, Bucky/Sam, Sam/Natasha, Clint/Laura, Clint/Coulson, Natasha/Clint, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/Maria, Natasha/Pepper, Pepper/Tony, Steve/Tony, Steve/Peggy, Peggy/Angie, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Peter/MJ, Bruce/Betty, T'Challa/Nakia, Scott/Hope

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

Erik Killmonger/Sam Wilson: I read a fic about these two once and I was just sold on the pairing. They took very different paths but Sam is very compassionate and Erik does have some good ideas, even if he is shown to go about it wrong. Going by TFATWS, Sam knows what it is like to struggle with his identity and I think had Erik lived, they would clash but they could also find some common ground.

Prompts:
1. Erik lives and Sam meets him while he is on the run, in Wakanda
2. pre-canon they meet while they are both in the army or in college
3. AU where Erik grows up in Wakanda

James "Bucky" Barnes/James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Sam Wilson: I read a fic about these three and I was sold. It's such an interesting dynamic. Rhodey and Sam's canon friendship is great and I love Sam & Bucky. Rhodey and Bucky would be an interesting duo too. All three of them have the military connection in some form and they've been through their own personal struggles and they could really find a connection with each other. I'm good with it either being set before, during, or after TFATWS.

Prompts:
1. Rhodey sticks around in TFATWS and he somehow ends up spending more time with Sam and/or Bucky. Maybe an undercover mission where two of them have to be faking a relationship and they all pine
2. Rhodey runs into Sam while he's searching for Bucky and helps him out; they all end up connecting
3. soulmate AU where they each have two marks

James "Bucky" Barnes/T'Challa: Bucky is a great character and honestly, I came out of CACW as Team T'Challa. His growth and how he realized revenge wasn't the way really made me love him. I just like the idea of these two, with their initial misunderstandings and how T'Challa let Bucky stay in Wakanda. It would be interesting to read how a relationship develop. The only thing I would be against is Bucky being a woobie and T'Challa just taking care of him. I think T'Challa has been through a lot and Bucky has some caretaker in him and I would like them to be on more of an equal footing.

Prompts:
1. T'Challa visits Bucky during the times he is out of cryo
2. T'Challa has to marry and Bucky offers to pretend to be his fiance

James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Sam Wilson: I love both characters a lot and the idea of them together also makes me happy. I was happy to see them reunite, albeit briefly in TFATWS. They are two people who have a lot in common and many similar experiences and would be great together.

Prompts:
1. Sam survives the snap instead of Steve and reconnects with Rhodey during those 5 years
2. People think Sam and Rhodey are dating and the feedback is positive so they pretend or Sam is getting pressured to date/have a spouse so he asks Rhodey to pretend
3. the two of them going on joint missions together

M'Baku/T'Challa: I already loved T'Challa but I fell in love with M'Baku during the Black Panther movie. It would've been easy to make him a villain so I appreciated the route they took his character as well as their relationship.

Prompts:
1. Arranged marriage AU
2. T'Challa survives the snap and they connect over trying to move the world forward together
3. they were together before the snap and then M'Baku grieves as T'Challa is gone (and then eventually returns)

T'Challa/Sam Wilson: These are two of my favorite characters and Sam's whole "you like cats" in CACW amused me far more than it should. Obviously they have different backgrounds but they are good people with kind hearts who want to do the right thing and their differences make them all that more intersting. I can see Sam and Shuri teaming up to tease T'Challa and T'Challa charming Sarah despite Sam pouting about it.

Prompts:
1. they connect while Sam is on the run, in Wakanda
2. they meet up again after the 5 year snap
3. AU where T'Challa goes to America to study and then hides his identity and meets Sam

Saved by the Bell:

Slater/Zack: I only shipped them when I was older but I look back and really appreciate their push and pull dynamic, which is the frenemies to lovers one that just continues to be my favorite. Plus, they technically went on a date! :D

Prompts:
1. friends with benefits/casual sex turns into feelings
2. more on that concert date- maybe they kiss (challenge turns into the real thing) and both end up pining, while thinking the other isn't serious
3. post college AU where Zack and Kelly never got back together and they decide to be roommates.
4. band AU or AU where they continue the band and Zack secretly writes songs about Slater

Ted Lasso:

Fandom DNW: sam/rebecca- either romantic or treated as problematic/Sam being a substitute for Ted, focus on Nate comeuppance- i'm fine with him realizing he was wrong but don't want the story to be about other characters just lecturing him

Other Ships I like: Ted/Rebecca, Keeley/Roy, Keeley/Roy/Jamie

Gen/Friendships: any combo of AFC Richmond players, Ted & Beard, Ted & Roy, Ted & Jamie, Roy Beard, Roy & Jamie, Rebecca & Higgins, Rebecca & Keeley

Sam/Dani: They would be such a sunshine ship! I didn't think of them before I read a fic about it but they would be adorable. Dani jumping into Sam's arms right after meeting him is definitely the stuff ships are made of.

Prompts:
1. one of them is the other's plus one and now everyone thinks they're dating
2. accidentally get married when drunk
3. celebrating an anniversary

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. Sam's great and Jamie has grown so much. I like that Jamie had to work harder to earn Sam's forgiveness too. 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

Sam/Dani/Jamie: I know the three of them haven't spent any on screen time together as a trio but I like all the individual dynamics and it would be fun to consider them as a ship. I like how their relationships have developed and while they are very different people with very different histories, I think that adds to make it more interesting. I'm fine if they get together at the same time or two of them are already together and they bring in the third.

Prompts:
1. Jamie finds out that Sam and Dani are together and tries to be happy for them but is jealous/pining
2. they get trapped somewhere and one of them is not good with small spaces
3. trying to date while avoiding the media

Thanks again! :D
