DCEU:
Other Ships I like (for background): Barry/Iris, Bruce/Selina (I know she didn't appear in the DCEU so you can go ahead with your favorite characterization should you add them in )
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Justice League, Clark & Martha, Lois & Martha, Clark & Steve, Lois & Steve, Lois & Diana
Freeforms: Magic - Resurrection Ritual Requires Marriage * Magic - Marries Ghost To Resurrect Them, Magic - Resurrection Spell Requires Ritual Marriage * Political Marriage - To Secure an Alliance * Arranged Marriage - Arrangement Made to form Union Between Two Cultures * Arranged Marriage - Characters First Meet on Their Wedding Day * Arranged Marriage - arrangement made when one or both was a child and now they're grown up * Marriage of Convenience - For Green Card/Citizenship * Proposal - Over The Top But Heartfelt * Wedding - Marriage Traditions in Different Cultures * Established Marriage - Expectant Couple Prepares for Baby * Honeymoon - Baby is Born Early * Wedding Reception - First Dance * Wedding Ceremony - During Epic Battle * Wedding Reception - Interrupted by Canon-Typical Shenanigans * Wedding - Pure Fluff * Honeymoon * Anniversary - Planned Date Cancelled Because A's Ill/Injured; B Comforts and Makes Evening Romantic * Soul Bond - Prophetic Dreams or Visions of Marrying Soulmate * Anniversary
Arthur/Mera: I liked them in the first Aquaman movie and from what we saw in the ZSJL. The way they clashed and didn't get along due to their perceptions and then had to work together and fell in love is a dynamic I generally enjoy and it really worked for me.
Prompts:
1. Atlanna is allowed to stay with her family but Arthur is set into an arranged marriage with Mera. Neither of them are fans ... at first.
2. Arthur trying to find ways to propose to Mera post movie
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 love the way that she was the one who calmed him down and brought him back post resurrection and I'm so glad that they seem to be not only engaged but have a baby after the ZSJL.
Prompts:
1. post movie where they're busy planning for a wedding and a baby while readjusting to their lives
2. AU where Krypton survives and Lois is thrown into an arranged marriage with Kal-El as a union of their planets
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. Diana finds a way to safely return Steve but it does result in them being married
2. Diana has dreams of Steve before he lands up on Themyscira; it turns out they're soulmates
Elementary:
Friendships/Gen: Joan & Arthur, Sherlock & Arthur, Sherlock & Marcus, Joan & Marcus, Joan & Ms. Hudson, Sherlock & Alfredo, Sherlock & Kitty, Joan & Kitty
Freeforms: Marriage of Convenience - Voluntarily Getting Married to Adopt * Fake Marriage - Mistaken For Married While Undercover * Fake Marriage - Going Undercover Leads to Real Feelings * Proposal - Joke proposal becomes mutual running joke until whoops - we mean it * Wedding Planning - Friends And Family Being Way Too Involved * Proposal - Proposing After a Near-Death Experience * Honeymoon - Traveling the world during honeymoon * Proposal - Proposing at the Same Time * Wedding Ceremony - Love Confessions Become Impromptu Exchange of Vows * Wedding Ceremony - eloped and having zero regrets * Anniversary - Planned Date Cancelled Because A's Ill/Injured; B Comforts and Makes Evening Romantic * Elopement - Getting Married at City Hall * Elopement - Getting Married on a Whim * Wedding Ceremony - Exchanging Vows Alone after Eloping to Another Country * Newlyweds - Becoming the Parent of Step-children * Proposal - Asks Love Interest’s Children For Help With Proposal * Wedding Ceremony - Children Important To Those Getting Married Are Involved * Honeymoon * Marriage of Convenience - marrying your best friend for XXX reason leads to feelings * Engagement - Family Heirlooms Passed Down For Engagement
Sherlock/Joan: As much as I love their friendship, I ship them too. They just have great chemistry and I love watching their relationship grow and the mutual respect. Joan can stand up to Sherlock when he crosses a line and he obviously cares for her a lot. I like how at the end, they can freely admit that they love each other, especially Sherlock. They both have strengths and weaknesses and they balance each other out so well. I didn't like Joan/Mycroft but I would prefer that she wasn't using him as a substitute for Sherlock.
Prompts:
1. AU where Joan finds it out it is easier to be married to adopt and Sherlock volunteers
2. they pretend to be married for a case and feelings develop
3. one of them has a close call and that makes the other realize they have feelings for each other and they decide to just get married.
TFATWS:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous, focus on Zemo, past/present/unrequited Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam
Friendships/Gen: Bucky & Sarah, Sam & Sarah, Sam & Rhodey
Freeforms: Fake Marriage - Going Undercover Leads to Real Feelings * Fake Marriage - Mistaken For Married While Undercover * Proposal - Mid-Battle Proposal * Wedding Ceremony - Interrupted by a Battle and They Continue When It's Finished * Elopement - Eloping After Winning a Battle * Wedding Ceremony - Getting Married in Superhero Suits * Celebrity Marriage - Getting Fake Married as a Mission Cover But Get Interrupted By Fans * Proposal - A who always playfully rejects B's repeated marriage proposals finally says yes * Soul Bond - A Searches for the person with their Soulmark; never expects it could be B * Soul Bond - Dancing At Friend's Wedding Leads To Unexpected Soul Bond * Soul Bond - Prophetic Dreams or Visions of Marrying Soulmate * Celebrity Marriage - Epistolary media coverage/social media reaction/etc. * Dimension Travel - Getting Together After Meeting The AU Married Couple Version of Themselves * Established Marriage - Decide to Adopt a Pet Together * Magic - Artifact or Spell Accidentally Causes Marriage * Wedding - Drunken Marriage (Vegas Edition) * Science Fiction - Truth Serum Results in Accidental Proposal * Wedding - Decoy Wedding To Ensure Real Wedding Goes Smoothly * Wedding Reception - Interrupted by Canon-Typical Shenanigans * Mail-Order Spouse - Mistaken For Mail-Order Spouse and Goes With It
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. Sam mistakes Bucky for a mail order bride and since he's trying to escape Hydra, he goes along with it
2. Bucky has had dreams of Sam his whole life and even Hydra can't erase him so he recognizes Sam in their first meeting
3. They're undercover and everyone keeps mistaking them as a couple
Gilmore Girls:
Fandom DNW: Rory bashing/shaming, Jess "showing up" other guys (especially Rory's exes), Richard and Emily getting treated as if they didn't do anything wrong
Other Ships I like (for background): Sookie/Jackson, Emily/Richard, Paris/Jamie, Paris/Doyle and I'm ok with Lane/Zach if you want to set it in later seasons/revival
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
Freeforms: Wedding Planning - Friends And Family Being Way Too Involved * Engagement - Family Heirlooms Passed Down For Engagement * Wedding - Family Heirlooms Passed Down For Wedding * Wedding - Drunken Marriage * Proposal - Blurting Out Proposal * Unplanned Wedding * Ceremony - Private Ceremony * Wedding Preparations - cake tasting shenanigans * Wedding Reception - Unmarried Couple Fantasize About Their Future While At Friend's Wedding * Newlyweds - Becoming the Parent of Step-children * Second Marriage - Getting Remarried * Wedding - Blended Traditions * Wedding Reception - First Dance * Wedding Planning - Writing the Vows * Wedding Reception - Friends Have To Make New Cake On the Fly When Disaster Befalls Original Cake * Anniversary - Planned Date Cancelled Because A's Ill/Injured; B Comforts and Makes Evening Romantic * Wedding - Fix-it for canon wedding * Proposal - Serious Proposal Thought to be a Joke * Marrying for Love - Marrying Someone Who is Carrying Someone Else's Baby * Established Marriage - Amnesia Results in Forgotten Marriage * Accidental Marriage - Woke Up Married
Lane/Dave: I really loved these two together. Lane is one of my favorite characters- she's funny, loyal, and tries to be a good daughter while finding her own path- 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. combining traditions to plan out their wedding (and you know Mrs Kim will be very involved so they'll have to manage her!)
2. Lane gets sick on their anniversary and Dave tries to make the day special
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. post s7 where they get reengaged and plan out their wedding or even an earlier canon divergence where they never split up in the first place and got married when they were supposed to
2. 4 times they were joking about proposing to each other and the one time they were serious
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. they accidentally get married during spring break (or at any other point)
2. Paris is nervous about getting married for a second time
3. Rory and Paris blending their families/children (or it could just be Paris's kids if you want to ignore Rory's pregnancy)
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. they meet up post Revival and while catching up, get a little too drunk and wind up married
2. the two of them talking about their future at Luke/Lorelai's wedding
3. Rory gets into an accident and forgets that she's married to Jess
MCU:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side (I'm Team Cap but I don't want it go over it again), Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous, focus on Zemo, past/present/unrequited Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam
Other Ships I like (for background): Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam/Natasha, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Carol/Maria, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/T'Challa, Nebula/Rhodey, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Maria, Sam/T'Challa, Sharon/Maria, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/M'Baku, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Tony/Pepper
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Avengers, Tony & Rhodey, Tony & Pepper, Tony & Happy, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam
Freeforms: Accidental Engagement - Joke Marriage Proposal on TV Mistaken As Real by the Press * Proposal - Rejected Proposal due to Misunderstanding * Fake Marriage - Mistaken For Married While Undercover * Proposal - Elaborate or Creative Proposal * Celebrity Marriage - Getting Fake Married as a Mission Cover But Get Interrupted By Fans * Celebrity Marriage - Epistolary media coverage/social media reaction/etc. * Arranged Marriage - Spouses Do Not Like Each Other (Until They Do) * Fake Marriage - Going Undercover Leads to Real Feelings * Proposal - Over The Top But Heartfelt * Wedding Ceremony - Private Ceremony * Accidental Marriage - Woke Up Married * Accidental Marriage - Series Of Mishaps Prevent Annulment Of Accidental Marriage * Soul Bond - Dancing At Friend's Wedding Leads To Unexpected Soul Bond * Science Fiction - Hanahaki Disease Cured by Marriage * Bachelor(ette) Party - Hooking up at mutual friend's party * Proposal - Fake Dating ends in real proposal/marriage * Marriage - Both Spouses Are In Love But Believe The Other Is In The Marriage Out Of Obligation * Proposal - Mid-Battle Proposal * Accidental Engagement - X's Internet Claims Mistaken As Admission of Ship Being Engaged Become Viral * Magic - Trapped In Fake Perfect World That Includes Fake Perfect Marriage
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. they get married for convenience (protect each other, etc) and develop feelings but each believe it isn't reciprocated
2. they go undercover as a couple and then develop real feelings
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'm fine with fics set anywhere after TWS, pre-canon, TFATWS, or total AUs.
Prompts:
1. media/fan reaction to the two of them dating/getting engaged/married
2. one of them proposes and the other rejects it because they think they're not serious
Erik/Sam: I read a fic about them once and ended up really liking it/the idea of them. They both have a military background and want to fight for what's right but they'd clash because of how different their views are on what's too far, but I can see it that being interesting.
Prompts:
1. AU where Erik lives/gets a second chance and they meet at T'Challa's bachelor party
2. arranged marriage AU
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. they dance at a wedding and they find themselves soul bonded
2. they enjoy being fake married so much for a mission that one of them proposes for real; maybe the other doesn't even take it seriously at first, but then they realize they meant it
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.
Prompts:
1. they have a quiet ceremony away with only a few close friends
2. they get drunk married and intend on annulling it but it doesn't quite work out that way and the longer they're married, the more they like it
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. Sam tries to propose and ends up doing so right in the middle of a battle
2. they go undercover as a married couple
Peggy/Steve: I really loved them in TFA- the way Steve was amused at Peggy immediately and Peggy being interested in pre-serum Steve just won me over. Tons of UST. This is the ship I truly didn't think I would see together again, even though I appreciated all the moments of Steve loving Peggy in the present day and Peggy still loving Steve in Agent Carter so for them to get their dance and a happy ending in one timeline made me really happy.
Prompts:
1. Steve proposes to Peggy after they're reunited (or even an AU where Steve is found sooner)
2. trying to plan a wedding
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. one of them accidentally makes a comment that leads the general public to think they're engaged
2. Tony's stuck in a dream world where he's happily married to Steve
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 (for 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
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
Freeforms: Arranged Marriage - Arrangement Made to form Union Between Two Cultures * Accidental Marriage - Woke Up Married * Proposal - Rejected Proposal due to Misunderstanding * Wedding - Fix-it for canon wedding * Time Travel - Fixing the Past also Results in Unexpectedly Getting Married * Soul Bond - Dancing At Friend's Wedding Leads To Unexpected Soul Bond * Wedding Ceremony - Take Two After First One Ended in Disaster * Bachelor(ette) Party - Hooking up at mutual friend's party * Fake Marriage - Mistaken For Married While Undercover * Proposal - Romantic * Dimension Travel - Getting Together After Meeting The AU Married Couple Version of Themselves * Wedding Reception - First Dance * Marriage of Convenience - For Green Card/Citizenship * Established Marriage - Amnesia Results in Forgotten Marriage * Fake Marriage - Amnesia Makes Characters (Erroneously) Assume They’re Married * Soul Bond - Prophetic Dreams or Visions of Marrying Soulmate * Soul Bond - A Searches for the person with their Soulmark; never expects it could be B * Soul Bond - Catching Bouquet At Friend's Wedding Leads To Unexpected Soul Bond * Wedding Reception - Unmarried Couple Fantasize About Their Future While At Friend's Wedding * Celebrity Marriage - In-Universe Rumors About A/B Secret Marriage
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. their wedding doesn't get ruined
2. Clark loses his memory and forgets his relationship/marriage to Lois (maybe he thinks they're still in their bickering stage - s4/5/6?)
3. AU where Krypton still existed and Lois is thrown into an arranged marriage with Kal-El to bring peace between their worlds
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. Superman's citizenship is called into question so he marries Green Arrow
2. Oliver gets hurt and Clark pretends to be his fiance to see him, but it turns out Oliver has amnesia
3. Clark time travels and when he returns, he finds himself married to Oliver
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. they catch the bouquet at the same time and it leads to a soul bond
2. they meet an AU version of themselves that are together and it leads to feelings
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. Oliver proposes and Lois says no due to a misunderstanding
2. they wake up married
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. 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
2. one of them has had prophetic dreams about the other for their entire lives
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. they have to go undercover as a married couple
2. they share a dance at a mutual friend's wedding and it results in a soul bond
Smallville:

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. 'Fortune' (or any other time) AU where the three of them wake up in bed together and are all married
2. Oliver believes that only Lois wants him there/he's only wanted for sex
3. Lois and Clark need a third for their marriage and Oliver volunteers.
Star Trek (AOS):
Other Ships I like (for background): Carol Marcus/Bones, Christine Chapel/Bones, Uhura/Bones, Uhura/Gaila, Uhura/Chapel, Uhura/Scotty
Friendships/Gen: Kirk & Bones, Kirk & Winona, any combo of the Enterprise crew, Spock & Amanda
Freeforms: Fake Marriage - Potential Ally Will Only Negotiate With a Married Couple * Fake Marriage - Used to Fend Off Unwanted Suitors * Accidental Marriage - Woke Up Married * Wedding Ceremony - Blending the customs of two cultures for a wedding * Accidental Marriage - Due to Misunderstanding the Norms of Another Culture * Proposal - Rejected Proposal due to Misunderstanding * Fake Marriage - Going Undercover Leads to Real Feelings * Proposal - Joke proposal becomes mutual running joke until whoops - we mean it * Proposal - Serious Proposal Thought to be a Joke * Accidental Engagement - Joke Marriage Proposal on TV Mistaken As Real by the Press * Soul Bond - Childhood Marriage Proposal's Acceptance becomes Soul Bond in Adulthood * Betrothal - Betrothed as Children * Fake Marriage - Amnesia Makes Characters (Erroneously) Assume They’re Married * Established Marriage - Amnesia Results in Forgotten Marriage * Wedding Planning - Friends And Family Being Way Too Involved * Dimension Travel - Dreaming of your Alternate Universe Self's Marriage * Magic - Wedding Rings in Shared Dreams of Unmarried Pair Reveal Pining * Soul Bond - Prophetic Dreams or Visions of Marrying Soulmate * Magic - Trapped In Fake Perfect World That Includes Fake Perfect Marriage * Accidental Engagement - Didn't Know Item Was Traditional Betrothal Gift
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. They meet as kids and one proposes and the other accepts; as adults it turns into a soul bond
2. they have to pretend to be married to negotiate with a culture that requires it
3. Kirk makes a joke in the press and now everyone thinks he and Spock are getting/already married
Ted Lasso:
Fandom DNW: Sam/Rebecca - either there or Rebecca using Sam as a substitute for Ted, Nate bashing/comeuppance
Other Ships I like (for background): the Higgins, Sam/Dani/Jamie, Rebecca/Boat Guy, Colin/Michael
Friendships/Gen: any combo of AFC Richmond players, Ted & Beard, Ted & Roy, Roy & Beard, Roy & Jamie, Rebecca & Higgins, Rebecca & Keeley, Keeley & Jamie
Freeforms: Poly Marriage - Officially Coupled in Public but Privately Poly Married * Poly Marriage - Fuck Whatever the Laws Say. We're Married * Accidental Marriage - Woke Up Married * Poly Marriage - New Third in Marriage Mistakenly Believes Only One of the Others Wants Them * Poly Marriage - New Third in Marriage Mistakenly Believes They’re Only Wanted for Sex * Second Marriage - Second Chance at Love * Proposal - Over The Top * Marriage Proposal * Wedding Planning - Friends And Family Being Way Too Involved * Celebrity Marriage - Epistolary media coverage/social media reaction/etc. * Proposal - Fake Dating ends in real proposal/marriage * Wedding Ceremony - Private Ceremony * Anniversary - Planned Date Cancelled Because A's Ill/Injured; B Comforts and Makes Evening Romantic * Wedding Planning - Practically Everyone In The City Wants To Get Them A Good Wedding Gift * Proposal - Proposing at the Same Time Honeymoon * Proposal - Romantic * Wedding Reception - Friends Have To Make New Cake On the Fly When Disaster Befalls Original Cake *Bachelor(ette) Party - Hooking up at mutual friend's party * Wedding - Dream Wedding * Wedding Planning - Hired Wedding Planner
Keeley/Roy:I just loved 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 were. Also so supportive and reassuring. Really adorable. I was very sad about their breakup in s3 but I like to imagine they still found their way back to one another post show. I'm fine with fics set at any point or AUs where they didn't break up at all.
Prompts:
1. Roy planning out an elaborate proposal
2. the team is invested in their wedding/wants to help
3. everyone is rooting for them and wants to get a good gift after they get engaged
Keeley/Roy/Jamie: 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 and it is clear there could still be some feelings. Especially in the second half of season 2 and season 3. They were all literally sitting in a triangle when Roy and Keeley went to go see Jamie and Jamie had their posters up side by side! So in sync.
Prompts:
1. Jamie thinks he's only there for sex/that only Keeley really wants him
2. they have a private wedding ceremony reaffirming their love
3. they go on a honeymoon
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. they get together at their teammate's bachelor party
2. planning a wedding while trying to deal with the team and blending their cultures
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. I like how that since Jamie hurt Sam worse than others, he had to work harder to win back his trust and forgiveness and now they've come to the point where Sam can make fun of him and Jamie will wear Sam's number as a show of support.
Prompts:
1. the wedding cake is ruined and the team has to rush to put together a new one
2. for some reason, it gets around that Sam and Jamie are together and when Jamie's dad calls him, he doubles down and ends up revealing they're engaged when they're not even together. Sam goes along with it
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 even if there were episodes where they didn't directly interact as much or at all, they were clearly still in each other's lives, I especially liked how Rebecca was the one to notice Ted was having a panic attack or the moments during Rebecca's father's funeral, like Ted being the one to pick up the song and remind Rebecca of a happy moment of her father. I also thought their faces when they seemed shocked/confused at being so in sync was a good jumping off point for a realization of feelings.
Prompts:
1. both are nervous but excited at getting married a second time
2. fan/media reaction at their engagement/wedding
3. Rebecca gets sick on their anniversary and Ted tries to make it special

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 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 or involve bashing of the other characters (ex: Kat sent the letter).
Prompts:
1. years after they broke up, they wake up married
2. Tommy proposes to Kimberly (it can initially go wrong and then go right or just be sweet fluff)
3. fluffy wedding fic - first dances, cutting the cake, exchanging vows
Thanks again! :D

Arthur/Mera: I liked them in the first Aquaman movie and from what we saw in the ZSJL. The way they clashed and didn't get along due to their perceptions and then had to work together and fell in love is a dynamic I generally enjoy and it really worked for me.
Prompts:
1. Atlanna is allowed to stay with her family but Arthur is set into an arranged marriage with Mera. Neither of them are fans ... at first.
2. Arthur trying to find ways to propose to Mera post movie
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 love the way that she was the one who calmed him down and brought him back post resurrection and I'm so glad that they seem to be not only engaged but have a baby after the ZSJL.
Prompts:
1. post movie where they're busy planning for a wedding and a baby while readjusting to their lives
2. AU where Krypton survives and Lois is thrown into an arranged marriage with Kal-El as a union of their planets
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. Diana finds a way to safely return Steve but it does result in them being married
2. Diana has dreams of Steve before he lands up on Themyscira; it turns out they're soulmates
Elementary:
Friendships/Gen: Joan & Arthur, Sherlock & Arthur, Sherlock & Marcus, Joan & Marcus, Joan & Ms. Hudson, Sherlock & Alfredo, Sherlock & Kitty, Joan & Kitty
Freeforms: Marriage of Convenience - Voluntarily Getting Married to Adopt * Fake Marriage - Mistaken For Married While Undercover * Fake Marriage - Going Undercover Leads to Real Feelings * Proposal - Joke proposal becomes mutual running joke until whoops - we mean it * Wedding Planning - Friends And Family Being Way Too Involved * Proposal - Proposing After a Near-Death Experience * Honeymoon - Traveling the world during honeymoon * Proposal - Proposing at the Same Time * Wedding Ceremony - Love Confessions Become Impromptu Exchange of Vows * Wedding Ceremony - eloped and having zero regrets * Anniversary - Planned Date Cancelled Because A's Ill/Injured; B Comforts and Makes Evening Romantic * Elopement - Getting Married at City Hall * Elopement - Getting Married on a Whim * Wedding Ceremony - Exchanging Vows Alone after Eloping to Another Country * Newlyweds - Becoming the Parent of Step-children * Proposal - Asks Love Interest’s Children For Help With Proposal * Wedding Ceremony - Children Important To Those Getting Married Are Involved * Honeymoon * Marriage of Convenience - marrying your best friend for XXX reason leads to feelings * Engagement - Family Heirlooms Passed Down For Engagement
Sherlock/Joan: As much as I love their friendship, I ship them too. They just have great chemistry and I love watching their relationship grow and the mutual respect. Joan can stand up to Sherlock when he crosses a line and he obviously cares for her a lot. I like how at the end, they can freely admit that they love each other, especially Sherlock. They both have strengths and weaknesses and they balance each other out so well. I didn't like Joan/Mycroft but I would prefer that she wasn't using him as a substitute for Sherlock.
Prompts:
1. AU where Joan finds it out it is easier to be married to adopt and Sherlock volunteers
2. they pretend to be married for a case and feelings develop
3. one of them has a close call and that makes the other realize they have feelings for each other and they decide to just get married.
TFATWS:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous, focus on Zemo, past/present/unrequited Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam
Friendships/Gen: Bucky & Sarah, Sam & Sarah, Sam & Rhodey
Freeforms: Fake Marriage - Going Undercover Leads to Real Feelings * Fake Marriage - Mistaken For Married While Undercover * Proposal - Mid-Battle Proposal * Wedding Ceremony - Interrupted by a Battle and They Continue When It's Finished * Elopement - Eloping After Winning a Battle * Wedding Ceremony - Getting Married in Superhero Suits * Celebrity Marriage - Getting Fake Married as a Mission Cover But Get Interrupted By Fans * Proposal - A who always playfully rejects B's repeated marriage proposals finally says yes * Soul Bond - A Searches for the person with their Soulmark; never expects it could be B * Soul Bond - Dancing At Friend's Wedding Leads To Unexpected Soul Bond * Soul Bond - Prophetic Dreams or Visions of Marrying Soulmate * Celebrity Marriage - Epistolary media coverage/social media reaction/etc. * Dimension Travel - Getting Together After Meeting The AU Married Couple Version of Themselves * Established Marriage - Decide to Adopt a Pet Together * Magic - Artifact or Spell Accidentally Causes Marriage * Wedding - Drunken Marriage (Vegas Edition) * Science Fiction - Truth Serum Results in Accidental Proposal * Wedding - Decoy Wedding To Ensure Real Wedding Goes Smoothly * Wedding Reception - Interrupted by Canon-Typical Shenanigans * Mail-Order Spouse - Mistaken For Mail-Order Spouse and Goes With It
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. Sam mistakes Bucky for a mail order bride and since he's trying to escape Hydra, he goes along with it
2. Bucky has had dreams of Sam his whole life and even Hydra can't erase him so he recognizes Sam in their first meeting
3. They're undercover and everyone keeps mistaking them as a couple
Gilmore Girls:
Fandom DNW: Rory bashing/shaming, Jess "showing up" other guys (especially Rory's exes), Richard and Emily getting treated as if they didn't do anything wrong
Other Ships I like (for background): Sookie/Jackson, Emily/Richard, Paris/Jamie, Paris/Doyle and I'm ok with Lane/Zach if you want to set it in later seasons/revival
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
Freeforms: Wedding Planning - Friends And Family Being Way Too Involved * Engagement - Family Heirlooms Passed Down For Engagement * Wedding - Family Heirlooms Passed Down For Wedding * Wedding - Drunken Marriage * Proposal - Blurting Out Proposal * Unplanned Wedding * Ceremony - Private Ceremony * Wedding Preparations - cake tasting shenanigans * Wedding Reception - Unmarried Couple Fantasize About Their Future While At Friend's Wedding * Newlyweds - Becoming the Parent of Step-children * Second Marriage - Getting Remarried * Wedding - Blended Traditions * Wedding Reception - First Dance * Wedding Planning - Writing the Vows * Wedding Reception - Friends Have To Make New Cake On the Fly When Disaster Befalls Original Cake * Anniversary - Planned Date Cancelled Because A's Ill/Injured; B Comforts and Makes Evening Romantic * Wedding - Fix-it for canon wedding * Proposal - Serious Proposal Thought to be a Joke * Marrying for Love - Marrying Someone Who is Carrying Someone Else's Baby * Established Marriage - Amnesia Results in Forgotten Marriage * Accidental Marriage - Woke Up Married
Lane/Dave: I really loved these two together. Lane is one of my favorite characters- she's funny, loyal, and tries to be a good daughter while finding her own path- 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. combining traditions to plan out their wedding (and you know Mrs Kim will be very involved so they'll have to manage her!)
2. Lane gets sick on their anniversary and Dave tries to make the day special
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. post s7 where they get reengaged and plan out their wedding or even an earlier canon divergence where they never split up in the first place and got married when they were supposed to
2. 4 times they were joking about proposing to each other and the one time they were serious
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. they accidentally get married during spring break (or at any other point)
2. Paris is nervous about getting married for a second time
3. Rory and Paris blending their families/children (or it could just be Paris's kids if you want to ignore Rory's pregnancy)
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. they meet up post Revival and while catching up, get a little too drunk and wind up married
2. the two of them talking about their future at Luke/Lorelai's wedding
3. Rory gets into an accident and forgets that she's married to Jess
MCU:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side (I'm Team Cap but I don't want it go over it again), Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous, focus on Zemo, past/present/unrequited Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam
Other Ships I like (for background): Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam/Natasha, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Carol/Maria, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/T'Challa, Nebula/Rhodey, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Maria, Sam/T'Challa, Sharon/Maria, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/M'Baku, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Tony/Pepper
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Avengers, Tony & Rhodey, Tony & Pepper, Tony & Happy, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam
Freeforms: Accidental Engagement - Joke Marriage Proposal on TV Mistaken As Real by the Press * Proposal - Rejected Proposal due to Misunderstanding * Fake Marriage - Mistaken For Married While Undercover * Proposal - Elaborate or Creative Proposal * Celebrity Marriage - Getting Fake Married as a Mission Cover But Get Interrupted By Fans * Celebrity Marriage - Epistolary media coverage/social media reaction/etc. * Arranged Marriage - Spouses Do Not Like Each Other (Until They Do) * Fake Marriage - Going Undercover Leads to Real Feelings * Proposal - Over The Top But Heartfelt * Wedding Ceremony - Private Ceremony * Accidental Marriage - Woke Up Married * Accidental Marriage - Series Of Mishaps Prevent Annulment Of Accidental Marriage * Soul Bond - Dancing At Friend's Wedding Leads To Unexpected Soul Bond * Science Fiction - Hanahaki Disease Cured by Marriage * Bachelor(ette) Party - Hooking up at mutual friend's party * Proposal - Fake Dating ends in real proposal/marriage * Marriage - Both Spouses Are In Love But Believe The Other Is In The Marriage Out Of Obligation * Proposal - Mid-Battle Proposal * Accidental Engagement - X's Internet Claims Mistaken As Admission of Ship Being Engaged Become Viral * Magic - Trapped In Fake Perfect World That Includes Fake Perfect Marriage
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. they get married for convenience (protect each other, etc) and develop feelings but each believe it isn't reciprocated
2. they go undercover as a couple and then develop real feelings
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'm fine with fics set anywhere after TWS, pre-canon, TFATWS, or total AUs.
Prompts:
1. media/fan reaction to the two of them dating/getting engaged/married
2. one of them proposes and the other rejects it because they think they're not serious
Erik/Sam: I read a fic about them once and ended up really liking it/the idea of them. They both have a military background and want to fight for what's right but they'd clash because of how different their views are on what's too far, but I can see it that being interesting.
Prompts:
1. AU where Erik lives/gets a second chance and they meet at T'Challa's bachelor party
2. arranged marriage AU
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. they dance at a wedding and they find themselves soul bonded
2. they enjoy being fake married so much for a mission that one of them proposes for real; maybe the other doesn't even take it seriously at first, but then they realize they meant it
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.
Prompts:
1. they have a quiet ceremony away with only a few close friends
2. they get drunk married and intend on annulling it but it doesn't quite work out that way and the longer they're married, the more they like it
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. Sam tries to propose and ends up doing so right in the middle of a battle
2. they go undercover as a married couple
Peggy/Steve: I really loved them in TFA- the way Steve was amused at Peggy immediately and Peggy being interested in pre-serum Steve just won me over. Tons of UST. This is the ship I truly didn't think I would see together again, even though I appreciated all the moments of Steve loving Peggy in the present day and Peggy still loving Steve in Agent Carter so for them to get their dance and a happy ending in one timeline made me really happy.
Prompts:
1. Steve proposes to Peggy after they're reunited (or even an AU where Steve is found sooner)
2. trying to plan a wedding
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. one of them accidentally makes a comment that leads the general public to think they're engaged
2. Tony's stuck in a dream world where he's happily married to Steve
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 (for 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
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. their wedding doesn't get ruined
2. Clark loses his memory and forgets his relationship/marriage to Lois (maybe he thinks they're still in their bickering stage - s4/5/6?)
3. AU where Krypton still existed and Lois is thrown into an arranged marriage with Kal-El to bring peace between their worlds
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. Superman's citizenship is called into question so he marries Green Arrow
2. Oliver gets hurt and Clark pretends to be his fiance to see him, but it turns out Oliver has amnesia
3. Clark time travels and when he returns, he finds himself married to Oliver
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. they catch the bouquet at the same time and it leads to a soul bond
2. they meet an AU version of themselves that are together and it leads to feelings
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. Oliver proposes and Lois says no due to a misunderstanding
2. they wake up married
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. 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
2. one of them has had prophetic dreams about the other for their entire lives
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. they have to go undercover as a married couple
2. they share a dance at a mutual friend's wedding and it results in a soul bond

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. 'Fortune' (or any other time) AU where the three of them wake up in bed together and are all married
2. Oliver believes that only Lois wants him there/he's only wanted for sex
3. Lois and Clark need a third for their marriage and Oliver volunteers.

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. They meet as kids and one proposes and the other accepts; as adults it turns into a soul bond
2. they have to pretend to be married to negotiate with a culture that requires it
3. Kirk makes a joke in the press and now everyone thinks he and Spock are getting/already married

Keeley/Roy:I just loved 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 were. Also so supportive and reassuring. Really adorable. I was very sad about their breakup in s3 but I like to imagine they still found their way back to one another post show. I'm fine with fics set at any point or AUs where they didn't break up at all.
Prompts:
1. Roy planning out an elaborate proposal
2. the team is invested in their wedding/wants to help
3. everyone is rooting for them and wants to get a good gift after they get engaged
Keeley/Roy/Jamie: 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 and it is clear there could still be some feelings. Especially in the second half of season 2 and season 3. They were all literally sitting in a triangle when Roy and Keeley went to go see Jamie and Jamie had their posters up side by side! So in sync.
Prompts:
1. Jamie thinks he's only there for sex/that only Keeley really wants him
2. they have a private wedding ceremony reaffirming their love
3. they go on a honeymoon
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. they get together at their teammate's bachelor party
2. planning a wedding while trying to deal with the team and blending their cultures
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. I like how that since Jamie hurt Sam worse than others, he had to work harder to win back his trust and forgiveness and now they've come to the point where Sam can make fun of him and Jamie will wear Sam's number as a show of support.
Prompts:
1. the wedding cake is ruined and the team has to rush to put together a new one
2. for some reason, it gets around that Sam and Jamie are together and when Jamie's dad calls him, he doubles down and ends up revealing they're engaged when they're not even together. Sam goes along with it
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 even if there were episodes where they didn't directly interact as much or at all, they were clearly still in each other's lives, I especially liked how Rebecca was the one to notice Ted was having a panic attack or the moments during Rebecca's father's funeral, like Ted being the one to pick up the song and remind Rebecca of a happy moment of her father. I also thought their faces when they seemed shocked/confused at being so in sync was a good jumping off point for a realization of feelings.
Prompts:
1. both are nervous but excited at getting married a second time
2. fan/media reaction at their engagement/wedding
3. Rebecca gets sick on their anniversary and Ted tries to make it special
MMPR:

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 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 or involve bashing of the other characters (ex: Kat sent the letter).
Prompts:
1. years after they broke up, they wake up married
2. Tommy proposes to Kimberly (it can initially go wrong and then go right or just be sweet fluff)
3. fluffy wedding fic - first dances, cutting the cake, exchanging vows
Thanks again! :D
