9-1-1 (TV):
Other Ships I like (for background, if necessary): Maddie/Chim, Bobby/Athena, Hen/Karen, anything that doesn't break up the requested ships or the other ones listed here
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the 118, Buck & Christopher, Eddie & May, Eddie & Karen, Eddie & his abuela, Eddie & his sisters
Christopher & Eddie: Their relationship is so precious to me - definitely one of my favorites on the show. I love how patient and openly affectionate and loving Eddie is with Chris and how Chris is such a great kid, but is also not infallible, as we've seen him lash out and snap. Neither of them are perfect but they learn and grow together. The end of s7 just broke my heart. I would love fics about them at any point or all points.
Prompts:
1. anything post s7 that focuses on their distance and reconciliation - maybe even Christopher decides to stay for the following year and that makes Eddie moves back to Texas and how they adjust
2. pre-canon - the time between Shannon leaving and Eddie deciding to move to LA or right when they get to LA and Eddie is still in the Academy
3. missing moments over the years
4. different ways that the team could've found out about Christopher
Buck & Maddie: I love them. Their shared bond and how Maddie pretty much raised Buck really gets to me. They both deserved so much more from their parents. I love how they can tease and be playful but also they can be there for one another and tell it to each other straight when needed. And the pinky swear ritual they have is very cute!
Prompts:
1. precanon moments from Buck's childhood
2. Maddie leaves with Buck when they plan to and how their lives change from there
3. anything with Maddie, Buck, and Jee
Maddie & Eddie: I really wish we could see them interact. As much as I'm glad that they didn't go through with the original plan to have them get together, I do believe they could be friends. There's definitely some parallels and similarities, between how they are the older siblings who were given added responsibilities too early and some of their struggles and could support/advise each other in a different way.
Prompts:
1. Maddie leaves Doug sooner and ends up in El Paso instead of LA (maybe she's worried about Buck and thinks she will lead Doug to him) and meets Eddie post - Shannon leaving. They become friends and end up in LA anyway
2. Maddie is still around when Eddie quits and joins dispatch
Buck/Eddie: I just love them. From the initial hostility to their quick friendship and the scenes with the two of them and Chris. The way they react to (almost) losing each other. I love how important they are to one another, how they've clashed (and I don't blame one side for the lawsuit mess) and come back, and how they support each other in ways they can't get from anyone else (here for Eddie telling Buck that he didn't owe his parents an apology). I'm so soft for the fact that Eddie told Buck on the balcony scene about how Maddie is the one that needs to be taken care of and then ten episodes later, Buck is breaking down Eddie's door and taking care of him. And how supportive Eddie was of Buck coming out! I'm fine with mentions of Buck/Tommy but with s7/post season 7 fics, I'd rather them be mostly off screen and please no blatant Tommy (or Shannon/Ana/Taylor/Marisol) bashing stories either. I don't want him to be a cheerleader for Buddie or the blatant villain either. I'm good with handwaving Gerrard too.
Prompts:
1. Buck loses part of his memory and only remembers his life before he and Eddie become friends
2. post s7 where Eddie moves back to El Paso for the upcoming year and they deal with the separation as well as new(/old?) feelings coming up
3. post season 7 with Eddie discovering himself (interests, hobbies, etc - always pro an Eddie who can dance) and his love for Buck along with it (wouldn't mind a little pining, a bit of Eddie being all "I wish I was the guy he couldn't stop thinking of instead of the one he worries about")
4. au where Eddie is either a baseball (who got traded to or signed with the Dodgers from the Rangers) or soccer player and Buck is still a firefighter
The Avengers:
Other Ships I like: Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Natasha, Bucky/Sam, Bucky/Sam/Natasha, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Darcy, Natasha/Maria, Natasha/Sam, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Pepper, Maria/Sharon, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Rhodey/Nebula, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Sam/T'Challa, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/M'Baku, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif
Friendships/Gen: any of the above, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam, Steve & Natasha, Tony & Nebula, Tony & Rhodey, any combo of the Avengers
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side (I'm on Team Cap but I don't want to go over it again), past/present/unrequited Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam, focus on Zemo, Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous
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. Tony accidentally goes back in time pre-Iron Man and hooks up with Steve, kind of like a bucket list item for him and dismisses it when he gets back, even though he is pining. Then it turns out Steve is alive
2. Tony visits Steve in the hospital during TWS and Steve does end up telling Tony about Bucky sooner, maybe as they're figuring out a new alternative to SHIELD
3. Tony notices old!Steve while he is still alive and it changes the timeline (maybe old!Steve seeks out Tony because he misses him and thinks he wouldn't get caught but does)
Captain America (Movies):
Other Ships I like: Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam/Natasha, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Darcy, Natasha/Maria, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Pepper, Maria/Sharon, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Rhodey/Nebula, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Sam/T'Challa, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/M'Baku, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif
Friendships/Gen: any of the above, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam, Steve & Natasha, Tony & Nebula, Tony & Rhodey, any combo of the Avengers
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side (I'm on Team Cap but I don't want to go over it again), past/present/unrequited Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam, focus on Zemo, Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous
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. Bucky survives the snap instead of Steve; now he and Natasha are figuring things out in the 5 years. Awkward at first but they gradually open up and fall in love, and decide what to do when they have a chance to fix things, minus Natasha's canon death of course.
2. Bucky is freed from Hydra much sooner, maybe while Steve is still under ice, joins SHIELD, and becomes Natasha's partner
3. Natasha survives post Endgame, and she is hanging around during TFATWS. I can see her making fun of Bucky's attempts at blind dating and the two of them gradually falling in love
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. The Lake House AU; it would be interesting to see Sam and Bucky write each other back and forth, both of them having gotten away for various reasons and finally connecting. You can change the careers to fit their characters or I could see Bucky as an architect and Sam as a doctor.
2. pretending to be married; they have to pretend to be a couple/married and go on a couples cruise ship to get information/track some down bad guys
3. anything set pre-canon; Sam is assigned to look for the Winter Soldier. They have run ins and for some reason, Bucky can't kill Sam.
Natasha/Sam: I really liked them after TFA. I thought they had a potential connection and they're one of the duos I could see really working out in canon as it is. Natasha is sharp and snarky and Sam is capable and no nonsense, which Natasha would appreciate. Plus I think their sense of humor and personalities mesh well too. Even though it is under the Captain America movies, I also welcome total AUs or anything set at other points in canon, including TFATWS. You can handwave Natasha's death or bring her back however you choose.
Prompts:
1. Sam has become Captain America and Natasha is assigned as his bodyguard, possibly after there is a threat on his life (could be a The Bodyguard AU with a happy ending please or just a regular bodyguard au)
2. Sam is being encouraged to date and doesn't want to so Natasha offers to pretend to be his girlfriend
3. The two of them connecting while trying to search for Bucky or post CACW in Wakanda
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 is found sooner, maybe even before the events of Agent Carter- so he is there through the show, could be known or a secret
2. Peggy is brought to the future at some point
4. artist!Steve + Peggy being his muse
Crossover Fandom:
Fandom DNW: bashing canon love interests (Lois, Rory, Steve, etc)
Other OTH ships I like: Nathan/Haley, Brooke/Lindsey, Brooke/Lucas, Brooke/Rachel, Brooke/Peyton, Brooke/Julian, Lucas/Lindsey, Peyton/Jake, Karen/Keith
Other GG ships I like: Emily/Richard, Luke/Lorelai, Lane/Dave, Rory/Paris, Paris/Doyle, Paris/Jamie (and I'm okay with Lane/Zach)
Arthur Curry (Aquaman 2006)/Clark Kent (Smallville): I won't pretend that Justin Hartley playing AC doesn't have a part of this. I love their chemistry and ship them on Smallville for sure. But I also was interested in what I saw of the Aquaman TV show and thought it did have a lot of potential. I'm not totally sorry it didn't work out because it did bring JH to Smallville and his Oliver is my favorite, but also I genuinely do wish we could've seen more and I think Clark and AC, who both had to find about their own pasts and discover who they are, would really understand each other. You can handwave Smallville AC if you would like, if you want to have them meet after s5.
Prompts:
1. they end up in some sort of pen pal situation
2. one of them rescues the other and they go from there
3. they meet when Clark interviews AC for a story and they also know each other in costume - mistake identity and the like
James "Bucky" Barnes (MCU)/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1): I just think it'd be neat and not because his nickname is similar to Eddie's best friend. They're both vets with a snarky sense of humor who have been through some stuff but come out of the other end still kind and good. I think it would just be fun and I could see them both being slightly amused at the nickname thing - I could see Eddie preferring to call Bucky "James" but it would work both ways. I don't ship Stucky though so I would rather not have them connect because they're both pining over their respective best friends. I'm okay with Buck/Tommy as a background ship - like mentions of them. Say if you use the bar prompt and go with Eddie being there alone because Buck had a date, but I'd rather they didn't have a focus/presence, like Buck and Tommy setting Eddie up or double dates and the like.
Prompts:
1. They meet at a bar and connect - one night stand/casual sex turns into something more
2. Bucky saves Eddie's life - they could either meet right after or Bucky disappears immediately, leaving Eddie to be curious over who saved his life, especially if he was the only one who saw him
3. modern no-powers AU where they meet in the army
Diana (DCEU)/James T. Kirk (ST:AOS): Again, the fact I ship Kirk being played by Chris Pine and I ship Diana/Steve does play a part, but I think that specific angst makes it more interesting. Kirk and Steve are very different and I imagine it would be jarring to see someone with Steve's face but nothing like Steve for Diana. I love both characters a lot and I can see Kirk flirting with Diana, getting the brush off, but somehow, being even more intrigued. Diana would probably initially want to keep her distance from this Steve doppleganger but it would be interesting if she couldn't stay away and liked Kirk for his own merits.
Prompts:
1. The crew of the Enterprise (or even just Kirk) end up on Themyscira
2. they meet when Kirk is on shore leave
3. Kirk is rescued by Wonder Woman
Diana (DCEU)/Natasha Romanov (MCU): Diana and Natasha have potential! I can see them being interested in one another. They've both experienced loss and pain but they still fight for the better of the world and are the backbones of their respective teams.
Prompts:
1. their teams work together (in a shared mcu/dceu universe - you can handwave the details) and they pine while trying to stay professional
2. Natasha ends up in Themyscira
3. one of the saves the other's life
Jess Mariano (Gilmore Girls)/Peyton Sawyer (One Tree Hill): For some reason, I'm really fascinated with the idea of these two. They're both interested in music and while Peyton isn't as big a reader as Jess is, I think they would get along, after maybe initially being snarky and clashing if they met when they're teenagers.
Prompts:
1. Jess ends up in Tree Hill instead of Stars Hollow
2. they meet up in California when Jess is with his father and after Peyton has just broken up with Lucas
3. Lucas ends up marrying Lindsey and Peyton meets Jess at a bar later - one night stand turns into something more
Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)/Lucas Scott (One Tree Hill): I thought they had chemistry when CMM played Tristan but I think character wise, Lucas would be much more fitting for Rory. Even though Lucas plays basketball, they both love to read and love music and are a bit more on the reserved/introverted side.
Prompts:
1. Their high schools play each other and Rory runs into Lucas after the game
2. She interviews him when he's promoting one of his novels
3. she meets him during spring break or they're at the same place on vacation
DCEU:
Other Ships I like (for background): Arthur/Mera, Barry/Iris, Bruce/Selina (I know she wasn't in the DCEU so you can use your favorite interpretation)
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Justice League, Clark & Martha, Clark & Steve, Lois & Diana, Lois & Martha, Lois & Steve
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. arranged marriage AU where Krypton still exists and Lois is thrown into an engagement with Kal-El
2. anything set in between MoS & BvS - the two of them adjusting to their relationship and work life - case fic, saving one another, etc (do they it on the down low at work? are there rumors about Lois & Superman?)
3. post ZSJL, where they're preparing to get married & have a baby while Clark readjusts to life/being Superman again
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. various times where Diana and Steve visit Themyscira
2. reincarnation where Steve doesn't remember his past life at first
3. Steve returns in WW84 but not possessing someone else's body. Maybe he is a ghost and they don't realize only Diana can see him. I would like for them to have a happy ending though. Maybe he does go away by the end of the movie events but returns in the present day
Gilmore Girls:
Fandom DNW: Rory bashing/shaming, Jess showing up other guys (especially Rory's exes or Christopher), Emily and Richard treated like they didn't do anything wrong
Other Ships I like: Sookie/Jackson, Emily/Richard, Paris/Jamie, Paris/Doyle. I'm okay with Lane/Zach if you want to set it in the later seasons
Friendships/Gen: Jess & Lane, Jess & Luke, Jess & Paris, Jess & April, Jess & Doula, Jess & Lily, Rory & Lane, Rory & Lorelai, Rory & Paris, Rory & April, Rory & Richard, Rory & Emily, Rory & Luke, Lorelai & Sookie, Lorelai & Emily, Lorelai & Richard
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 go along 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. Different bands AU where they meet at a music festival
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. Luke tells her about April right away and they handle it together
2. somehow, it's Luke and Lorelai who end up on the cruise instead of Luke and Nicole and they get married while drunk
3. canon divergence set after s7 - maybe they get married and do decide to have kids
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. AU where Rory grew up with her grandparents and how that changes her relationship with Paris (if it does) as they grow up together
3. friends with benefits/casual sex turns into real feelings
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. Jess comes to live with Luke earlier and they get to know one another
Smallville:
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" canon (namely Clark giving up his powers for good)
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/Tess, Chloe/Bart, Bart/Mia, AC/Mera, Lex/Lana (as long as he doesn't go evil), Lana/Jason (again, as long as he doesn't go evil), Tess/Emil
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & Kara, Clark & Lana, Clark & Lois, Clark & Oliver, Clark & Lex, Clark & Tess, Lois & Lana, Lois & Oliver, Lois & Martha, Oliver & Mia, Oliver & Tess
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. Noir AU: I always thought it was too bad Clark and Lois really didn't interact in the 'Noir' episode, even if Clark admired her from afar, since they looked so good and it was Jimmy's fantasy. TBH, I always hated the Lois/Lex aspect of that episode. It would be interesting if they did, maybe Clark is a detective who needs lounge singer Lois's help on a story, or maybe she saw something she shouldn't have. If she has her own secret identity and finds her way to journalism, that is good too
2. Clark actually goes through the portal at the end of s9 and now he and Lois have to deal with the separation, as he tries to lead his people, but also how to act around each other once he finds his way back, especially since he didn't tell her he was going in the first place
3. Lois doesn't come back after she leaves in s4 and they end up meeting again at the Daily Planet
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. Lois and Oliver get back together in s7 and Oliver notices how close Clark and Lois are getting. Maybe even he kissed Clark while they were undercover (and he told Lois about it). Then he comes up with a plan (once he checks with Lois, of course)
2. after Oliver's revelation that he is Green Arrow, he has to stay on the down low, and ends up hanging out with Lois & Clark more often. Feelings develop from there
3. Clark, Lois, and Oliver are able to finish their movie night- maybe Lois and Ollie come back and Clark is still there or the plan got called off at the last minute and they just have a regular movie night that turns into something more
4. 'Crimson' AU; Oliver is there when Clark and Lois break into his apartment and they seduce him
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. Oliver hit Clark in the Pilot. I can't see Oliver wanting to intentionally hang out with a high school teen so maybe they just keep running into one another instead. I would rather there not be any romance until Clark is 18 though
2. Superman's citizenship comes into question, even with his home in the Arctic so he publicly marries Green Arrow
3. Clark runs into Oliver on his red k summer, Oliver ends up inviting him on his trip on his yacht, and then they end up on the island together
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 keeps her powers and rescues Lois, who is curious about the new hero in town
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. Lois meets Tess before she ends up on the island
3. The Proposal (2009 movie) AU
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. Even in s8, Lana managed to free her from Lex's grasp and saw a lot of potential in her to be a better person so I definitely think they would have a greater connection once Tess switched sides.
Prompts:
1. they wake up in Vegas, married
2. accidental soulbond when they touch an artifact they found while working together
3. different first meeting- Tess shows up to Smallville when Lex is still alive and meets Lana
Star Trek (AOS):
Other Ships I like: Amanda/Sarek, Gaila/Nyota, Nyota/Bones, Nyota/Chapel, Carol Marcus/Bones, Chapel/Bones
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Enterprise command crew, Kirk & Bones, Spock & Amanda
Kirk/Spock: I'm a sucker for the frenemies to lovers dynamic, where the ship doesn't get along right away but has to work together and I loved it here too (I was definitely won over by the whole "see we're already getting to know each other" in XI). I liked how they had their own biases against one another and then they both ended up growing along the way and needing each other. While I had my issues with 'Into Darkness', Spock getting emotional over Kirk's death and going nuts on Khan does get to me.
Prompts:
1. Kirk jokingly proposes to Spock (or makes a comment about marrying him where he is overheard), but the media takes it seriously and they have to keep up the charade
2. five times one of them flirted with the other and they just didn't get it and the one time they do
3. Kirk time travels and ends up saving Amanda
4. they meet as kids (maybe Amanda and Winona were/are friends) and keep in touch

9-1-1 (TV):
Other Ships I like (for background, if necessary): Maddie/Chim, Bobby/Athena, Hen/Karen, anything that doesn't break up the requested ships or the other ones listed here
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the 118, Buck & Christopher, Eddie & May, Eddie & Karen, Eddie & his abuela, Eddie & his sisters
Christopher & Eddie: Their relationship is so precious to me - definitely one of my favorites on the show. I love how patient and openly affectionate and loving Eddie is with Chris and how Chris is such a great kid, but is also not infallible, as we've seen him lash out and snap. Neither of them are perfect but they learn and grow together. The end of s7 just broke my heart. I would love fics about them at any point or all points.
Prompts:
1. anything post s7 that focuses on their distance and reconciliation - maybe even Christopher decides to stay for the following year and that makes Eddie moves back to Texas and how they adjust
2. pre-canon - the time between Shannon leaving and Eddie deciding to move to LA or right when they get to LA and Eddie is still in the Academy
3. missing moments over the years
4. different ways that the team could've found out about Christopher
Buck & Maddie: I love them. Their shared bond and how Maddie pretty much raised Buck really gets to me. They both deserved so much more from their parents. I love how they can tease and be playful but also they can be there for one another and tell it to each other straight when needed. And the pinky swear ritual they have is very cute!
Prompts:
1. precanon moments from Buck's childhood
2. Maddie leaves with Buck when they plan to and how their lives change from there
3. anything with Maddie, Buck, and Jee
Maddie & Eddie: I really wish we could see them interact. As much as I'm glad that they didn't go through with the original plan to have them get together, I do believe they could be friends. There's definitely some parallels and similarities, between how they are the older siblings who were given added responsibilities too early and some of their struggles and could support/advise each other in a different way.
Prompts:
1. Maddie leaves Doug sooner and ends up in El Paso instead of LA (maybe she's worried about Buck and thinks she will lead Doug to him) and meets Eddie post - Shannon leaving. They become friends and end up in LA anyway
2. Maddie is still around when Eddie quits and joins dispatch
Buck/Eddie: I just love them. From the initial hostility to their quick friendship and the scenes with the two of them and Chris. The way they react to (almost) losing each other. I love how important they are to one another, how they've clashed (and I don't blame one side for the lawsuit mess) and come back, and how they support each other in ways they can't get from anyone else (here for Eddie telling Buck that he didn't owe his parents an apology). I'm so soft for the fact that Eddie told Buck on the balcony scene about how Maddie is the one that needs to be taken care of and then ten episodes later, Buck is breaking down Eddie's door and taking care of him. And how supportive Eddie was of Buck coming out! I'm fine with mentions of Buck/Tommy but with s7/post season 7 fics, I'd rather them be mostly off screen and please no blatant Tommy (or Shannon/Ana/Taylor/Marisol) bashing stories either. I don't want him to be a cheerleader for Buddie or the blatant villain either. I'm good with handwaving Gerrard too.
Prompts:
1. Buck loses part of his memory and only remembers his life before he and Eddie become friends
2. post s7 where Eddie moves back to El Paso for the upcoming year and they deal with the separation as well as new(/old?) feelings coming up
3. post season 7 with Eddie discovering himself (interests, hobbies, etc - always pro an Eddie who can dance) and his love for Buck along with it (wouldn't mind a little pining, a bit of Eddie being all "I wish I was the guy he couldn't stop thinking of instead of the one he worries about")
4. au where Eddie is either a baseball (who got traded to or signed with the Dodgers from the Rangers) or soccer player and Buck is still a firefighter
The Avengers:
Other Ships I like: Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Natasha, Bucky/Sam, Bucky/Sam/Natasha, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Darcy, Natasha/Maria, Natasha/Sam, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Pepper, Maria/Sharon, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Rhodey/Nebula, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Sam/T'Challa, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/M'Baku, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif
Friendships/Gen: any of the above, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam, Steve & Natasha, Tony & Nebula, Tony & Rhodey, any combo of the Avengers
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side (I'm on Team Cap but I don't want to go over it again), past/present/unrequited Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam, focus on Zemo, Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous
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. Tony accidentally goes back in time pre-Iron Man and hooks up with Steve, kind of like a bucket list item for him and dismisses it when he gets back, even though he is pining. Then it turns out Steve is alive
2. Tony visits Steve in the hospital during TWS and Steve does end up telling Tony about Bucky sooner, maybe as they're figuring out a new alternative to SHIELD
3. Tony notices old!Steve while he is still alive and it changes the timeline (maybe old!Steve seeks out Tony because he misses him and thinks he wouldn't get caught but does)
Captain America (Movies):
Other Ships I like: Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam/Natasha, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Darcy, Natasha/Maria, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Pepper, Maria/Sharon, Nebula/Rhodey, Carol/Rhodey, Rhodey/Nebula, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Sam/T'Challa, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/M'Baku, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif
Friendships/Gen: any of the above, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam, Steve & Natasha, Tony & Nebula, Tony & Rhodey, any combo of the Avengers
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side (I'm on Team Cap but I don't want to go over it again), past/present/unrequited Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam, focus on Zemo, Bucky only having flirted with Sarah to make Sam jealous
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. Bucky survives the snap instead of Steve; now he and Natasha are figuring things out in the 5 years. Awkward at first but they gradually open up and fall in love, and decide what to do when they have a chance to fix things, minus Natasha's canon death of course.
2. Bucky is freed from Hydra much sooner, maybe while Steve is still under ice, joins SHIELD, and becomes Natasha's partner
3. Natasha survives post Endgame, and she is hanging around during TFATWS. I can see her making fun of Bucky's attempts at blind dating and the two of them gradually falling in love
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. The Lake House AU; it would be interesting to see Sam and Bucky write each other back and forth, both of them having gotten away for various reasons and finally connecting. You can change the careers to fit their characters or I could see Bucky as an architect and Sam as a doctor.
2. pretending to be married; they have to pretend to be a couple/married and go on a couples cruise ship to get information/track some down bad guys
3. anything set pre-canon; Sam is assigned to look for the Winter Soldier. They have run ins and for some reason, Bucky can't kill Sam.
Natasha/Sam: I really liked them after TFA. I thought they had a potential connection and they're one of the duos I could see really working out in canon as it is. Natasha is sharp and snarky and Sam is capable and no nonsense, which Natasha would appreciate. Plus I think their sense of humor and personalities mesh well too. Even though it is under the Captain America movies, I also welcome total AUs or anything set at other points in canon, including TFATWS. You can handwave Natasha's death or bring her back however you choose.
Prompts:
1. Sam has become Captain America and Natasha is assigned as his bodyguard, possibly after there is a threat on his life (could be a The Bodyguard AU with a happy ending please or just a regular bodyguard au)
2. Sam is being encouraged to date and doesn't want to so Natasha offers to pretend to be his girlfriend
3. The two of them connecting while trying to search for Bucky or post CACW in Wakanda
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 is found sooner, maybe even before the events of Agent Carter- so he is there through the show, could be known or a secret
2. Peggy is brought to the future at some point
4. artist!Steve + Peggy being his muse
Crossover Fandom:
Fandom DNW: bashing canon love interests (Lois, Rory, Steve, etc)
Other OTH ships I like: Nathan/Haley, Brooke/Lindsey, Brooke/Lucas, Brooke/Rachel, Brooke/Peyton, Brooke/Julian, Lucas/Lindsey, Peyton/Jake, Karen/Keith
Other GG ships I like: Emily/Richard, Luke/Lorelai, Lane/Dave, Rory/Paris, Paris/Doyle, Paris/Jamie (and I'm okay with Lane/Zach)
Arthur Curry (Aquaman 2006)/Clark Kent (Smallville): I won't pretend that Justin Hartley playing AC doesn't have a part of this. I love their chemistry and ship them on Smallville for sure. But I also was interested in what I saw of the Aquaman TV show and thought it did have a lot of potential. I'm not totally sorry it didn't work out because it did bring JH to Smallville and his Oliver is my favorite, but also I genuinely do wish we could've seen more and I think Clark and AC, who both had to find about their own pasts and discover who they are, would really understand each other. You can handwave Smallville AC if you would like, if you want to have them meet after s5.
Prompts:
1. they end up in some sort of pen pal situation
2. one of them rescues the other and they go from there
3. they meet when Clark interviews AC for a story and they also know each other in costume - mistake identity and the like
James "Bucky" Barnes (MCU)/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1): I just think it'd be neat and not because his nickname is similar to Eddie's best friend. They're both vets with a snarky sense of humor who have been through some stuff but come out of the other end still kind and good. I think it would just be fun and I could see them both being slightly amused at the nickname thing - I could see Eddie preferring to call Bucky "James" but it would work both ways. I don't ship Stucky though so I would rather not have them connect because they're both pining over their respective best friends. I'm okay with Buck/Tommy as a background ship - like mentions of them. Say if you use the bar prompt and go with Eddie being there alone because Buck had a date, but I'd rather they didn't have a focus/presence, like Buck and Tommy setting Eddie up or double dates and the like.
Prompts:
1. They meet at a bar and connect - one night stand/casual sex turns into something more
2. Bucky saves Eddie's life - they could either meet right after or Bucky disappears immediately, leaving Eddie to be curious over who saved his life, especially if he was the only one who saw him
3. modern no-powers AU where they meet in the army
Diana (DCEU)/James T. Kirk (ST:AOS): Again, the fact I ship Kirk being played by Chris Pine and I ship Diana/Steve does play a part, but I think that specific angst makes it more interesting. Kirk and Steve are very different and I imagine it would be jarring to see someone with Steve's face but nothing like Steve for Diana. I love both characters a lot and I can see Kirk flirting with Diana, getting the brush off, but somehow, being even more intrigued. Diana would probably initially want to keep her distance from this Steve doppleganger but it would be interesting if she couldn't stay away and liked Kirk for his own merits.
Prompts:
1. The crew of the Enterprise (or even just Kirk) end up on Themyscira
2. they meet when Kirk is on shore leave
3. Kirk is rescued by Wonder Woman
Diana (DCEU)/Natasha Romanov (MCU): Diana and Natasha have potential! I can see them being interested in one another. They've both experienced loss and pain but they still fight for the better of the world and are the backbones of their respective teams.
Prompts:
1. their teams work together (in a shared mcu/dceu universe - you can handwave the details) and they pine while trying to stay professional
2. Natasha ends up in Themyscira
3. one of the saves the other's life
Jess Mariano (Gilmore Girls)/Peyton Sawyer (One Tree Hill): For some reason, I'm really fascinated with the idea of these two. They're both interested in music and while Peyton isn't as big a reader as Jess is, I think they would get along, after maybe initially being snarky and clashing if they met when they're teenagers.
Prompts:
1. Jess ends up in Tree Hill instead of Stars Hollow
2. they meet up in California when Jess is with his father and after Peyton has just broken up with Lucas
3. Lucas ends up marrying Lindsey and Peyton meets Jess at a bar later - one night stand turns into something more
Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)/Lucas Scott (One Tree Hill): I thought they had chemistry when CMM played Tristan but I think character wise, Lucas would be much more fitting for Rory. Even though Lucas plays basketball, they both love to read and love music and are a bit more on the reserved/introverted side.
Prompts:
1. Their high schools play each other and Rory runs into Lucas after the game
2. She interviews him when he's promoting one of his novels
3. she meets him during spring break or they're at the same place on vacation
DCEU:
Other Ships I like (for background): Arthur/Mera, Barry/Iris, Bruce/Selina (I know she wasn't in the DCEU so you can use your favorite interpretation)
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Justice League, Clark & Martha, Clark & Steve, Lois & Diana, Lois & Martha, Lois & Steve
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. arranged marriage AU where Krypton still exists and Lois is thrown into an engagement with Kal-El
2. anything set in between MoS & BvS - the two of them adjusting to their relationship and work life - case fic, saving one another, etc (do they it on the down low at work? are there rumors about Lois & Superman?)
3. post ZSJL, where they're preparing to get married & have a baby while Clark readjusts to life/being Superman again
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. various times where Diana and Steve visit Themyscira
2. reincarnation where Steve doesn't remember his past life at first
3. Steve returns in WW84 but not possessing someone else's body. Maybe he is a ghost and they don't realize only Diana can see him. I would like for them to have a happy ending though. Maybe he does go away by the end of the movie events but returns in the present day
Gilmore Girls:
Fandom DNW: Rory bashing/shaming, Jess showing up other guys (especially Rory's exes or Christopher), Emily and Richard treated like they didn't do anything wrong
Other Ships I like: Sookie/Jackson, Emily/Richard, Paris/Jamie, Paris/Doyle. I'm okay with Lane/Zach if you want to set it in the later seasons
Friendships/Gen: Jess & Lane, Jess & Luke, Jess & Paris, Jess & April, Jess & Doula, Jess & Lily, Rory & Lane, Rory & Lorelai, Rory & Paris, Rory & April, Rory & Richard, Rory & Emily, Rory & Luke, Lorelai & Sookie, Lorelai & Emily, Lorelai & Richard
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 go along 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. Different bands AU where they meet at a music festival
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. Luke tells her about April right away and they handle it together
2. somehow, it's Luke and Lorelai who end up on the cruise instead of Luke and Nicole and they get married while drunk
3. canon divergence set after s7 - maybe they get married and do decide to have kids
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. AU where Rory grew up with her grandparents and how that changes her relationship with Paris (if it does) as they grow up together
3. friends with benefits/casual sex turns into real feelings
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. Jess comes to live with Luke earlier and they get to know one another
Smallville:
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" canon (namely Clark giving up his powers for good)
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/Tess, Chloe/Bart, Bart/Mia, AC/Mera, Lex/Lana (as long as he doesn't go evil), Lana/Jason (again, as long as he doesn't go evil), Tess/Emil
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the SV Justice League, Clark & Martha & Jonathan, Clark & Kara, Clark & Lana, Clark & Lois, Clark & Oliver, Clark & Lex, Clark & Tess, Lois & Lana, Lois & Oliver, Lois & Martha, Oliver & Mia, Oliver & Tess
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. Noir AU: I always thought it was too bad Clark and Lois really didn't interact in the 'Noir' episode, even if Clark admired her from afar, since they looked so good and it was Jimmy's fantasy. TBH, I always hated the Lois/Lex aspect of that episode. It would be interesting if they did, maybe Clark is a detective who needs lounge singer Lois's help on a story, or maybe she saw something she shouldn't have. If she has her own secret identity and finds her way to journalism, that is good too
2. Clark actually goes through the portal at the end of s9 and now he and Lois have to deal with the separation, as he tries to lead his people, but also how to act around each other once he finds his way back, especially since he didn't tell her he was going in the first place
3. Lois doesn't come back after she leaves in s4 and they end up meeting again at the Daily Planet
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. Lois and Oliver get back together in s7 and Oliver notices how close Clark and Lois are getting. Maybe even he kissed Clark while they were undercover (and he told Lois about it). Then he comes up with a plan (once he checks with Lois, of course)
2. after Oliver's revelation that he is Green Arrow, he has to stay on the down low, and ends up hanging out with Lois & Clark more often. Feelings develop from there
3. Clark, Lois, and Oliver are able to finish their movie night- maybe Lois and Ollie come back and Clark is still there or the plan got called off at the last minute and they just have a regular movie night that turns into something more
4. 'Crimson' AU; Oliver is there when Clark and Lois break into his apartment and they seduce him
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. Oliver hit Clark in the Pilot. I can't see Oliver wanting to intentionally hang out with a high school teen so maybe they just keep running into one another instead. I would rather there not be any romance until Clark is 18 though
2. Superman's citizenship comes into question, even with his home in the Arctic so he publicly marries Green Arrow
3. Clark runs into Oliver on his red k summer, Oliver ends up inviting him on his trip on his yacht, and then they end up on the island together
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 keeps her powers and rescues Lois, who is curious about the new hero in town
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. Lois meets Tess before she ends up on the island
3. The Proposal (2009 movie) AU
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. Even in s8, Lana managed to free her from Lex's grasp and saw a lot of potential in her to be a better person so I definitely think they would have a greater connection once Tess switched sides.
Prompts:
1. they wake up in Vegas, married
2. accidental soulbond when they touch an artifact they found while working together
3. different first meeting- Tess shows up to Smallville when Lex is still alive and meets Lana
Star Trek (AOS):
Other Ships I like: Amanda/Sarek, Gaila/Nyota, Nyota/Bones, Nyota/Chapel, Carol Marcus/Bones, Chapel/Bones
Friendships/Gen: any combo of the Enterprise command crew, Kirk & Bones, Spock & Amanda
Kirk/Spock: I'm a sucker for the frenemies to lovers dynamic, where the ship doesn't get along right away but has to work together and I loved it here too (I was definitely won over by the whole "see we're already getting to know each other" in XI). I liked how they had their own biases against one another and then they both ended up growing along the way and needing each other. While I had my issues with 'Into Darkness', Spock getting emotional over Kirk's death and going nuts on Khan does get to me.
Prompts:
1. Kirk jokingly proposes to Spock (or makes a comment about marrying him where he is overheard), but the media takes it seriously and they have to keep up the charade
2. five times one of them flirted with the other and they just didn't get it and the one time they do
3. Kirk time travels and ends up saving Amanda
4. they meet as kids (maybe Amanda and Winona were/are friends) and keep in touch
Thanks again! :)
