DCEU:
Other Ships I like: Barry/Iris, Bruce/Selina (since she didn't appear in the DCEU, I'm fine with going with your favorite characterization)
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Justice League, Clark & Martha, Lois & Martha, Clark & Steve, Lois & Steve
Arthur/Mera: I really liked the Aquaman movie and I thought they were great together. I also liked the sporadic interactions we saw from them before that movie, and how their relationship grew from two people who didn't like one another and had to work together and how they slowly fell in love.
Prompts:
1. arranged marriage AU where Atlanna got to stay with her family in exchange for Arthur getting engaged to Mera when they're adults. Neither are happy ... at first.
2. having to share a bed when they're on the run
3. learning about each other's traditions and culture
Clark/Lois: They're great together. I love how mature and loving their relationship is. Lois figuring out Clark and his identity and Clark appreciating Lois for believing in him even in MoS was lovely. I didn't see BvS but the scene where Clark tells Lois that she is his world gets to me. I'm so glad that they seem to be not only engaged but have a baby on the way in ZSJL.
Prompts:
1. trying to spend Valentine's Day together
2. anything set in between MoS & BvS; Clark and Lois adjusting to not only a new relationship but also him being Superman. First on paper interview. Chasing after stories together Finding time for a date night. That kind of thing
3. post JL- trying to figure out how to handle a baby, plan a wedding, and Clark is trying to reconnect with the Justice League
Diana/Steve: I definitely fell for these two hard in the WW movie. I loved how they met, with Diana saving Steve, and how she took a risk to leave with him. The way he isn't intimidated by her and how they work together so well really sold me on the ship. I was happy to see Steve back in WW84 but I didn't like how he possessed someone else's body to return. AUs of the movie are more than welcome.
Prompts:
1. day to day life - date nights, Steve getting adjusted to the future, visiting Themyscira together, etc
2. reincarnation AU: where Steve doesn't remember his past life, at least not immediately
3. AU where Diana somehow leaves the island on her own, curious about life outside Themyscira, and disguises herself once she reaches America or Europe and runs into Steve
Elementary:
Friendships/Gen: Sherlock & Marcus, Sherlock & Joan, Joan & Marcus, Joan & Ms. Hudson, Joan & Kitty, Sherlock & Kitty, 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. The two of them taking on a common enemy (maybe to save Sherlock?)
2. Joan reluctantly helps Jamie with something related to her daughter (and feelings happen)
3. AU with artist Jamie/Joan as her muse
4. Joan has a secret admirer
Sherlock/Joan: As much as I love their friendship, I do ship them too. They had great chemistry and when Sherlock showed Joan his mom's ring, I couldn't help but root for him to propose to her with it. I didn't like Joan/Mycroft but I also would rather Joan not having slept with him as a substitute for Sherlock either. Feel free to use the gen prompts for this category too or vice versa if it fits.
Prompts:
1. Joan moves to London instead of Sherlock going to NYC
2. friends with benefits; Joan is frustrated with her dating life and Sherlock offers her a release. Casual sex turns into real feelings
3. Joan needs to get married to adopt; Sherlock volunteers
Emma:
Other Ships I like: Jane/Frank, Harriet/Robert
Friendships/Gen: Jane & Emma, Emma & Harriet
Jane/Emma: I just love the idea of these two. Their relationship is very interesting to me, with how they are two people who everyone assumed should get along and be friends, due to being the same age and formerly in similar circles, but aren't close. Emma being very confident except in comparison to Jane and how Jane is so closed off makes for such an interesting contrast. I would love anything pre canon, canon divergence, or complete AUs (including modern ones).
Prompts:
1. modern college AU - maybe they're roommates or just know of each other
2. a shared moment of comfort
3. Jane returns earlier in the novel
George/Emma: Knightley's confession remains one of my favorite scenes not just in this book but in all of Austen's novels. It's just so lovely. I appreciate their relationship and how while he calls her out on her bad behavior, he does care, and she respects/cherishes him so much. Her realization of love is also another great moment.
Prompts:
1. married life
2. Emma realizing her feelings sooner
3. modern AU
TFATWS:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing, focus on Zemo, Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous, past/present/unrequited Bucky/Steve or Sam/Steve
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. Even though it is under TFATWS, I'm fine with fics set anywhere after TWS, pre-canon or total AUs.
Prompts:
1. woke up married in Vegas
2. post TFATWS; people speculate on their relationship
3. relationship moments- feelings confession, first date, first kiss, moving in together, getting a pet, etc
Gilmore Girls:
Fandom DNW:a Rory bashing/shaming, Jess "showing up" other guys (especially Rory's exes), Emily and Richard treated as if they didn't do anything wrong
Other Ships I like: Sookie/Jackson, Emily/Richard, Paris/Jamie, Paris/Doyle and I'm ok with Lane/Zach if you want to set it in later seasons
Friendships/Gen: Rory & Richard, Rory & Lane, Rory & Lorelai, Lorelai & Emily, Lorelai & Sookie, Rory & Paris, Paris & Jess, Jess & Lane, Jess & Dave, Jess & April, Jess & Lily, Jess & Luke
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. after Lane gets kicked out, she finds her way to California and meets up with Dave
2. They don't break up and maintain a long distance relationship
3. Lane is working at Luke's and Dave is a frequent customer who is part of a band. One day, they need a replacement drummer.
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. I like AUs, fics set during any point of the show, the Revival or anything in between.
Prompts:
1. they meet pre-canon, before Lorelai is pregnant
2. Luke knows about April sooner so they're both single parents
3. Lorelai doesn't sleep with Christopher but she and Luke take a break anyway but they're pining
4. Lorelai is upset about spending Valentine's Day alone
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. What I don't like though is that people acting like Rory doesn't deserve Jess or she has fallen too far off in the Revival. Sure she made mistakes but just like Rory accepted Jess, I don't think he would judge her for it and it's clear in canon he still believes in her. Another thing I love about them.
Prompts:
1. Rory and Jess don't break up at the end of s3 and try a long distance relationship while Jess figures out his life
2. Jess ends up getting closer to Rory post Revival with her book and unintentionally ends up helping with the pregnancy/baby
3. Library AU; Jess spent a lot of time at the library and ends up working there (maybe in New York or Boston and Rory ends up at Harvard)
4. town has a Valentine's Day event (could work for any of the other ships too)
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. post GG Revival; Paris helps out Rory through her pregnancy and they develop feelings
2. relationship moments - first kiss, moving in together, feelings revelations, celebration, comfort
3. AU where Rory grew up with her grandparents/Lorelai stayed; what their relationship is like growing up together
Kabhi Khushi Khabhie Gham:
Rohan Raichand/Pooja Sharma: These two were a lot of fun in the movie. I liked when they were kids and their friendship to their push/pull relationship as adults. Rohan able to go to Pooja and willingness to help really revealed the depth and connection they both had.
Prompts:
1. AU where they secretly kept in touch
2. married life
3. shippy moments at any point of the second half of the movie or after
Rohan Raichand & Rahul Raichand: Love this brotherly relationship. Their teasing but loving nature in the first half an Rohan's devotion to make things right in the second half, especially the emotional reactions he constantly had to Rahul really got to me.
Prompts:
1. moments where Rahul almost realized the truth
2. Rohan actually catches up to Rahul (and not the guy wearing the same sweater)
3. moments of getting to know each other after the reveal
Rahul Raichand/Anjali Sharma: These two always have the best chemistry and they're just so much fun, before they get together and as a married couple. I love how smitten he was with her immediately and how she was slowly won over and the way that even as they playfully bickered in the second half, you can see how loving their relationship was, despite Rahul's grumpy moments.
Prompts:
1. moments between them living his house (after they just got married) and settling in London
2. the readjustment back to India
3. married moments - anniversaries, holidays, etc
MCU:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side/making the other look bad (I'm Team Cap but I don't want to go over it again)
Other Ships I like: Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam, Bucky/Sam/Natasha, Bruce/Betty, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/Rhodey, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Sam/T'Challa, T'Challa/Nakia, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Tony/Pepper
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Avengers, Tony & Rhodey, Tony & Pepper, Tony & Happy, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam
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. I am good with it being set during TFATWS too, with Natasha's death being handwaved or she is return when Steve returns the soul stone
Prompts:
1. Natasha survives Endgame and they slowly get to know each other
2. Bucky recognizes Natasha in TWS and it breaks his conditioning so Hydra can't recapture him. Instead he goes after them
3. Natasha time travels to the 40s and ends up meeting/connecting with Bucky pre-WS. This could be before TWS or after. If it is after, maybe Bucky recognizes Natasha but she doesn't quite get why yet
Maria/Natasha: I like these two. They're just both awesome individually and they have probably worked together for quite some time. Both are competent at their job but have a sense of humor underneath their stoic exteriors and I can imagine them being a great couple.
Prompts:
1. undercover as a couple
2. flirting over the comms
2. date night
Pepper/Natasha: I liked their interactions in Iron Man 2 and I wish we could've seen more of them. They seemed to get along/like one another, and I think their personalities would work well in the long term too.
1. blind date
2. soulmate AU- maybe Pepper is skeptical and Natasha doesn't believe in them
3. Natasha poses as Pepper's PA
Natasha/Sam: I really liked these two during TWS. I thought they had good chemistry and I feel like their personalities mesh. They both have a sense of humor, have strong values and are very loyal and brave. It is one of the couples I really could've seen working in canon. Sam's one of my favorites- he's kind but no nonsense and has the attitude that Natasha would appreciate.
Prompts:
1. soulmate AU where Natasha's mark was either damaged or removed in her past
2. Bodyguard AU where Sam's the new Captain America and they assign Natasha to protect him after he gains a stalker
3. going on vacation
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. moments of life together when Steve is back in the 40s
2. Steve is found sooner and he and Peggy adjust to live with the added celebrity of Captain America
3. Instead of dying in CACW, Peggy is deaged. Or she dies and comes back to life
Steve/Tony: I fell for them in the Avengers movie and they quickly became one of my OTPs. 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. reconnecting during the five year IW/Endgame gap
2. patching each other up after a mission
3. Steve is found before Tony becomes Iron Man
Smallville:
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' (good with Clark and Lois having twins/being married but not with him permanently giving up his powers), focus on Chloe (I had issues with her character starting in s8 but with what the actress has done, I am not really interesting in her being a central figure)
Other Ships I like: 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
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & Kara, Clark & Lana, Clark & Pete, 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. Lois getting close to Clark's parents even before they were together (and how they love her) is another point that I appreciated. I like anything set during canon or divergences or post canon (or in that seven year gap) or complete AUs. 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. investigating a Valentine's Day mystery
2. Valentine's Day party
3. Lois remembering one of the things she didn't in canon (what happened in 'Crimson', keeping her memories after Clark turned back time in 'Identity', retaining her memories after 'Pandora') and how that changes things for them
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 finish their movie night in "hydro"
2. Oliver hangs out with Lois & Clark post Green Arrow reveal and has feelings for both of them
3. Oliver and Lois have gotten back together/never broken up and he notices the chemistry between Clark & Lois. Then he realizes Clark is into him too and makes a plan (after consulting Lois); bonus: he and Clark kissed as a distraction and he wasn't able to stop thinking about it
4. Lois and Clark want to have try having a threesome and Oliver is up for it, but it becomes more than sex
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 goes to a masquerade ball hosted by Queen Industries and strikes it off with a mysterious "stranger" (maybe J'onn is posing as Oliver to practice his shapeshifting, which is why he doesn't think it's Ollie?)
2. one of them gets hurt and the other one seems to not be visiting but it turns out that they're taking the night shift so others can rest/they can protect them when they're most vulnerable
3. established relationship where one of them forgets Valentine's Day
Lana/Tess: They may not have had many scenes together but what they did have sold me on the chemistry and potential. Both of them are complicated and want to do what is right/be the hero (Tess has obviously had more stumbles than Lana) and they were each manipulated by Lex at some point. I think they would get along if they spent time in later seasons together.
Prompts:
1. one night stand turns into FWB
2. have to go undercover as a couple
3. different first meeting- Tess shows up to Smallville when Lex is still alive and meets Lana
Lois/Lana: 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. Lois stays in Metropolis University and then she needs a roommate and it ends up being Lana
2. Lana meets Lois in Paris instead of Jason
3. Lana visits Lois in college with Chloe and then hits it off with Lois
Lois/Oliver: Despite their great first scene (I love how Lois made Oliver speechless), I was really skeptical about them at first but they really won me over, with their great chemistry. They both are different but also similar in a way that you can imagine them working out in a different world and I even love their strong friendship in the final seasons.
Prompts:
1. she gives him a second chance in "Siren" and they have to deal with the long distance relationship
2. he gets hurt/loses his memory after "Justice" and thinks that they're still together
3. he is hears her confession in "Toxic" and they try again
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. Lois gets roped into participating in a charity auction; Tess bids on/wins.
2. soulmate AU, where they have each other's initials. I imagine that with all the people with LL, it might get confusing, and Lois would not even know Tess's name is Lutessa so maybe she doesn't even think it could be her
3. Lois meets Tess before she ends up on the island
4. both end up working late together
Suits:
Other Ships I like: Harvey/Zoe, Rachel/Logan Sanders (as long as he's not a bad guy), Donna/Stephen (again, as long as he's not a bad guy), Donna/any canon male love interest that isn't Harvey, Louis/Sheila
Friendships/Gen: Harvey & Donna, Harvey & Louis, Harvey & Jessica, Donna & Jessica, Donna & Rachel, Mike & Rachel, Jessica & Rachel, Louis & Rachel, Louis & Donna
Donna/Rachel: I like their friendship but ship them too - the way they value each other and how even when they fight, it is partly because they have an ability to be open and can call each other out, they do end up making up. I loved their flashback to how they first met and how Donna speaks highly of her to Harvey. Just the best.
Prompts:
1. comfort after a disappointment or a celebration after something good happens leads to them kissing/having sex
2. they're in a secret relationship
3. trying to find time for dating in their busy schedules
Harvey/Mike: I loved the two of them so much. Mike really is the reason Harvey softened/started letting people in and the way they would go all out for each other made me melt. The loyalty is strong with these two and I'm here for every moment. I stopped watching after some point, and I do prefer earlier season fics but I'm fine with the fics being set in later seasons because I'm aware of the general plot (I know Mike goes to jail, etc).
Prompts:
1. Royalty AU or an AU where Harvey has to find a spouse instead of an associate and then he picks Mike, who stumbles into the party, even though he doesn't have any connections and they both pretend (I saw this prompt on FFA and I couldn't stop thinking about it)
2. AU where Mike graduated/went to law school and is doing an internship at Pearson Hardman
3. the firm is having a Valentine's Day party
Mansfield Park
Fanny/Henry: I was surprised by how much I liked them. Fanny's lack of interest and Henry's pursuit of her was interesting. Even though he was obviously the "cad", he had a lot more potential when he was with her and I thought that dynamic had a chance to be very good had Henry made different choices. I like that she knew what she wanted and didn't cave but I think that if he can be better (and I need him to improve), they could be good together.
Prompts:
1. He doesn't sleep with Maria
2. modern AU
3. she agrees to marry him (but maybe doesn't love him immediately)
Fanny/Mary: When I read the book, I did end up shipping it a bit, because I found their dynamic so interesting. Mary seemed fascinated by Fanny and genuinely interested in her during parts of the novel, whatever her intentions were. I liked how Fanny stood her ground (even if I'm not the biggest fan of Fanny/Edmund) and didn't compromise in what she wanted and I just love the idea of them together. I have seen modern adaptations, like the web series, which only has sold me more on the potential.
Prompts:
1. post Mary and Edmund splitting up; Fanny doesn't end up with Edmund and ends up running into Mary at some point and the two start to keep in touch
2. Mary initially wants to set up Fanny with Henry as in canon, but soon finds herself wanting Fanny for herself
3. modern AU - Fanny meets Mary in a different way and how that changes things

DCEU:
Other Ships I like: Barry/Iris, Bruce/Selina (since she didn't appear in the DCEU, I'm fine with going with your favorite characterization)
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Justice League, Clark & Martha, Lois & Martha, Clark & Steve, Lois & Steve
Arthur/Mera: I really liked the Aquaman movie and I thought they were great together. I also liked the sporadic interactions we saw from them before that movie, and how their relationship grew from two people who didn't like one another and had to work together and how they slowly fell in love.
Prompts:
1. arranged marriage AU where Atlanna got to stay with her family in exchange for Arthur getting engaged to Mera when they're adults. Neither are happy ... at first.
2. having to share a bed when they're on the run
3. learning about each other's traditions and culture
Clark/Lois: They're great together. I love how mature and loving their relationship is. Lois figuring out Clark and his identity and Clark appreciating Lois for believing in him even in MoS was lovely. I didn't see BvS but the scene where Clark tells Lois that she is his world gets to me. I'm so glad that they seem to be not only engaged but have a baby on the way in ZSJL.
Prompts:
1. trying to spend Valentine's Day together
2. anything set in between MoS & BvS; Clark and Lois adjusting to not only a new relationship but also him being Superman. First on paper interview. Chasing after stories together Finding time for a date night. That kind of thing
3. post JL- trying to figure out how to handle a baby, plan a wedding, and Clark is trying to reconnect with the Justice League
Diana/Steve: I definitely fell for these two hard in the WW movie. I loved how they met, with Diana saving Steve, and how she took a risk to leave with him. The way he isn't intimidated by her and how they work together so well really sold me on the ship. I was happy to see Steve back in WW84 but I didn't like how he possessed someone else's body to return. AUs of the movie are more than welcome.
Prompts:
1. day to day life - date nights, Steve getting adjusted to the future, visiting Themyscira together, etc
2. reincarnation AU: where Steve doesn't remember his past life, at least not immediately
3. AU where Diana somehow leaves the island on her own, curious about life outside Themyscira, and disguises herself once she reaches America or Europe and runs into Steve
Elementary:
Friendships/Gen: Sherlock & Marcus, Sherlock & Joan, Joan & Marcus, Joan & Ms. Hudson, Joan & Kitty, Sherlock & Kitty, 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. The two of them taking on a common enemy (maybe to save Sherlock?)
2. Joan reluctantly helps Jamie with something related to her daughter (and feelings happen)
3. AU with artist Jamie/Joan as her muse
4. Joan has a secret admirer
Sherlock/Joan: As much as I love their friendship, I do ship them too. They had great chemistry and when Sherlock showed Joan his mom's ring, I couldn't help but root for him to propose to her with it. I didn't like Joan/Mycroft but I also would rather Joan not having slept with him as a substitute for Sherlock either. Feel free to use the gen prompts for this category too or vice versa if it fits.
Prompts:
1. Joan moves to London instead of Sherlock going to NYC
2. friends with benefits; Joan is frustrated with her dating life and Sherlock offers her a release. Casual sex turns into real feelings
3. Joan needs to get married to adopt; Sherlock volunteers
Emma:
Other Ships I like: Jane/Frank, Harriet/Robert
Friendships/Gen: Jane & Emma, Emma & Harriet
Jane/Emma: I just love the idea of these two. Their relationship is very interesting to me, with how they are two people who everyone assumed should get along and be friends, due to being the same age and formerly in similar circles, but aren't close. Emma being very confident except in comparison to Jane and how Jane is so closed off makes for such an interesting contrast. I would love anything pre canon, canon divergence, or complete AUs (including modern ones).
Prompts:
1. modern college AU - maybe they're roommates or just know of each other
2. a shared moment of comfort
3. Jane returns earlier in the novel
George/Emma: Knightley's confession remains one of my favorite scenes not just in this book but in all of Austen's novels. It's just so lovely. I appreciate their relationship and how while he calls her out on her bad behavior, he does care, and she respects/cherishes him so much. Her realization of love is also another great moment.
Prompts:
1. married life
2. Emma realizing her feelings sooner
3. modern AU
TFATWS:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing, focus on Zemo, Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous, past/present/unrequited Bucky/Steve or Sam/Steve
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. Even though it is under TFATWS, I'm fine with fics set anywhere after TWS, pre-canon or total AUs.
Prompts:
1. woke up married in Vegas
2. post TFATWS; people speculate on their relationship
3. relationship moments- feelings confession, first date, first kiss, moving in together, getting a pet, etc
Gilmore Girls:
Fandom DNW:a Rory bashing/shaming, Jess "showing up" other guys (especially Rory's exes), Emily and Richard treated as if they didn't do anything wrong
Other Ships I like: Sookie/Jackson, Emily/Richard, Paris/Jamie, Paris/Doyle and I'm ok with Lane/Zach if you want to set it in later seasons
Friendships/Gen: Rory & Richard, Rory & Lane, Rory & Lorelai, Lorelai & Emily, Lorelai & Sookie, Rory & Paris, Paris & Jess, Jess & Lane, Jess & Dave, Jess & April, Jess & Lily, Jess & Luke
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. after Lane gets kicked out, she finds her way to California and meets up with Dave
2. They don't break up and maintain a long distance relationship
3. Lane is working at Luke's and Dave is a frequent customer who is part of a band. One day, they need a replacement drummer.
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. I like AUs, fics set during any point of the show, the Revival or anything in between.
Prompts:
1. they meet pre-canon, before Lorelai is pregnant
2. Luke knows about April sooner so they're both single parents
3. Lorelai doesn't sleep with Christopher but she and Luke take a break anyway but they're pining
4. Lorelai is upset about spending Valentine's Day alone
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. What I don't like though is that people acting like Rory doesn't deserve Jess or she has fallen too far off in the Revival. Sure she made mistakes but just like Rory accepted Jess, I don't think he would judge her for it and it's clear in canon he still believes in her. Another thing I love about them.
Prompts:
1. Rory and Jess don't break up at the end of s3 and try a long distance relationship while Jess figures out his life
2. Jess ends up getting closer to Rory post Revival with her book and unintentionally ends up helping with the pregnancy/baby
3. Library AU; Jess spent a lot of time at the library and ends up working there (maybe in New York or Boston and Rory ends up at Harvard)
4. town has a Valentine's Day event (could work for any of the other ships too)
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. post GG Revival; Paris helps out Rory through her pregnancy and they develop feelings
2. relationship moments - first kiss, moving in together, feelings revelations, celebration, comfort
3. AU where Rory grew up with her grandparents/Lorelai stayed; what their relationship is like growing up together
Kabhi Khushi Khabhie Gham:
Rohan Raichand/Pooja Sharma: These two were a lot of fun in the movie. I liked when they were kids and their friendship to their push/pull relationship as adults. Rohan able to go to Pooja and willingness to help really revealed the depth and connection they both had.
Prompts:
1. AU where they secretly kept in touch
2. married life
3. shippy moments at any point of the second half of the movie or after
Rohan Raichand & Rahul Raichand: Love this brotherly relationship. Their teasing but loving nature in the first half an Rohan's devotion to make things right in the second half, especially the emotional reactions he constantly had to Rahul really got to me.
Prompts:
1. moments where Rahul almost realized the truth
2. Rohan actually catches up to Rahul (and not the guy wearing the same sweater)
3. moments of getting to know each other after the reveal
Rahul Raichand/Anjali Sharma: These two always have the best chemistry and they're just so much fun, before they get together and as a married couple. I love how smitten he was with her immediately and how she was slowly won over and the way that even as they playfully bickered in the second half, you can see how loving their relationship was, despite Rahul's grumpy moments.
Prompts:
1. moments between them living his house (after they just got married) and settling in London
2. the readjustment back to India
3. married moments - anniversaries, holidays, etc
MCU:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side/making the other look bad (I'm Team Cap but I don't want to go over it again)
Other Ships I like: Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam, Bucky/Sam/Natasha, Bruce/Betty, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/Rhodey, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Sam/T'Challa, T'Challa/Nakia, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Tony/Pepper
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Avengers, Tony & Rhodey, Tony & Pepper, Tony & Happy, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam
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. I am good with it being set during TFATWS too, with Natasha's death being handwaved or she is return when Steve returns the soul stone
Prompts:
1. Natasha survives Endgame and they slowly get to know each other
2. Bucky recognizes Natasha in TWS and it breaks his conditioning so Hydra can't recapture him. Instead he goes after them
3. Natasha time travels to the 40s and ends up meeting/connecting with Bucky pre-WS. This could be before TWS or after. If it is after, maybe Bucky recognizes Natasha but she doesn't quite get why yet
Maria/Natasha: I like these two. They're just both awesome individually and they have probably worked together for quite some time. Both are competent at their job but have a sense of humor underneath their stoic exteriors and I can imagine them being a great couple.
Prompts:
1. undercover as a couple
2. flirting over the comms
2. date night
Pepper/Natasha: I liked their interactions in Iron Man 2 and I wish we could've seen more of them. They seemed to get along/like one another, and I think their personalities would work well in the long term too.
1. blind date
2. soulmate AU- maybe Pepper is skeptical and Natasha doesn't believe in them
3. Natasha poses as Pepper's PA
Natasha/Sam: I really liked these two during TWS. I thought they had good chemistry and I feel like their personalities mesh. They both have a sense of humor, have strong values and are very loyal and brave. It is one of the couples I really could've seen working in canon. Sam's one of my favorites- he's kind but no nonsense and has the attitude that Natasha would appreciate.
Prompts:
1. soulmate AU where Natasha's mark was either damaged or removed in her past
2. Bodyguard AU where Sam's the new Captain America and they assign Natasha to protect him after he gains a stalker
3. going on vacation
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. moments of life together when Steve is back in the 40s
2. Steve is found sooner and he and Peggy adjust to live with the added celebrity of Captain America
3. Instead of dying in CACW, Peggy is deaged. Or she dies and comes back to life
Steve/Tony: I fell for them in the Avengers movie and they quickly became one of my OTPs. 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. reconnecting during the five year IW/Endgame gap
2. patching each other up after a mission
3. Steve is found before Tony becomes Iron Man
Smallville:
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' (good with Clark and Lois having twins/being married but not with him permanently giving up his powers), focus on Chloe (I had issues with her character starting in s8 but with what the actress has done, I am not really interesting in her being a central figure)
Other Ships I like: 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
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & Kara, Clark & Lana, Clark & Pete, 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. Lois getting close to Clark's parents even before they were together (and how they love her) is another point that I appreciated. I like anything set during canon or divergences or post canon (or in that seven year gap) or complete AUs. 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. investigating a Valentine's Day mystery
2. Valentine's Day party
3. Lois remembering one of the things she didn't in canon (what happened in 'Crimson', keeping her memories after Clark turned back time in 'Identity', retaining her memories after 'Pandora') and how that changes things for them
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 finish their movie night in "hydro"
2. Oliver hangs out with Lois & Clark post Green Arrow reveal and has feelings for both of them
3. Oliver and Lois have gotten back together/never broken up and he notices the chemistry between Clark & Lois. Then he realizes Clark is into him too and makes a plan (after consulting Lois); bonus: he and Clark kissed as a distraction and he wasn't able to stop thinking about it
4. Lois and Clark want to have try having a threesome and Oliver is up for it, but it becomes more than sex
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 goes to a masquerade ball hosted by Queen Industries and strikes it off with a mysterious "stranger" (maybe J'onn is posing as Oliver to practice his shapeshifting, which is why he doesn't think it's Ollie?)
2. one of them gets hurt and the other one seems to not be visiting but it turns out that they're taking the night shift so others can rest/they can protect them when they're most vulnerable
3. established relationship where one of them forgets Valentine's Day
Lana/Tess: They may not have had many scenes together but what they did have sold me on the chemistry and potential. Both of them are complicated and want to do what is right/be the hero (Tess has obviously had more stumbles than Lana) and they were each manipulated by Lex at some point. I think they would get along if they spent time in later seasons together.
Prompts:
1. one night stand turns into FWB
2. have to go undercover as a couple
3. different first meeting- Tess shows up to Smallville when Lex is still alive and meets Lana
Lois/Lana: 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. Lois stays in Metropolis University and then she needs a roommate and it ends up being Lana
2. Lana meets Lois in Paris instead of Jason
3. Lana visits Lois in college with Chloe and then hits it off with Lois
Lois/Oliver: Despite their great first scene (I love how Lois made Oliver speechless), I was really skeptical about them at first but they really won me over, with their great chemistry. They both are different but also similar in a way that you can imagine them working out in a different world and I even love their strong friendship in the final seasons.
Prompts:
1. she gives him a second chance in "Siren" and they have to deal with the long distance relationship
2. he gets hurt/loses his memory after "Justice" and thinks that they're still together
3. he is hears her confession in "Toxic" and they try again
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. Lois gets roped into participating in a charity auction; Tess bids on/wins.
2. soulmate AU, where they have each other's initials. I imagine that with all the people with LL, it might get confusing, and Lois would not even know Tess's name is Lutessa so maybe she doesn't even think it could be her
3. Lois meets Tess before she ends up on the island
4. both end up working late together
Suits:
Other Ships I like: Harvey/Zoe, Rachel/Logan Sanders (as long as he's not a bad guy), Donna/Stephen (again, as long as he's not a bad guy), Donna/any canon male love interest that isn't Harvey, Louis/Sheila
Friendships/Gen: Harvey & Donna, Harvey & Louis, Harvey & Jessica, Donna & Jessica, Donna & Rachel, Mike & Rachel, Jessica & Rachel, Louis & Rachel, Louis & Donna
Donna/Rachel: I like their friendship but ship them too - the way they value each other and how even when they fight, it is partly because they have an ability to be open and can call each other out, they do end up making up. I loved their flashback to how they first met and how Donna speaks highly of her to Harvey. Just the best.
Prompts:
1. comfort after a disappointment or a celebration after something good happens leads to them kissing/having sex
2. they're in a secret relationship
3. trying to find time for dating in their busy schedules
Harvey/Mike: I loved the two of them so much. Mike really is the reason Harvey softened/started letting people in and the way they would go all out for each other made me melt. The loyalty is strong with these two and I'm here for every moment. I stopped watching after some point, and I do prefer earlier season fics but I'm fine with the fics being set in later seasons because I'm aware of the general plot (I know Mike goes to jail, etc).
Prompts:
1. Royalty AU or an AU where Harvey has to find a spouse instead of an associate and then he picks Mike, who stumbles into the party, even though he doesn't have any connections and they both pretend (I saw this prompt on FFA and I couldn't stop thinking about it)
2. AU where Mike graduated/went to law school and is doing an internship at Pearson Hardman
3. the firm is having a Valentine's Day party
Mansfield Park
Fanny/Henry: I was surprised by how much I liked them. Fanny's lack of interest and Henry's pursuit of her was interesting. Even though he was obviously the "cad", he had a lot more potential when he was with her and I thought that dynamic had a chance to be very good had Henry made different choices. I like that she knew what she wanted and didn't cave but I think that if he can be better (and I need him to improve), they could be good together.
Prompts:
1. He doesn't sleep with Maria
2. modern AU
3. she agrees to marry him (but maybe doesn't love him immediately)
Fanny/Mary: When I read the book, I did end up shipping it a bit, because I found their dynamic so interesting. Mary seemed fascinated by Fanny and genuinely interested in her during parts of the novel, whatever her intentions were. I liked how Fanny stood her ground (even if I'm not the biggest fan of Fanny/Edmund) and didn't compromise in what she wanted and I just love the idea of them together. I have seen modern adaptations, like the web series, which only has sold me more on the potential.
Prompts:
1. post Mary and Edmund splitting up; Fanny doesn't end up with Edmund and ends up running into Mary at some point and the two start to keep in touch
2. Mary initially wants to set up Fanny with Henry as in canon, but soon finds herself wanting Fanny for herself
3. modern AU - Fanny meets Mary in a different way and how that changes things
Thanks again!
