Fandom DNW: tommy bashing/the idea he was actually interested in eddie first
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 Diaz & Eddie Diaz: 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
Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz I just love them. From the initial hostility to their quick friendship and easy chemistry. 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. they meet in fandom/the 118 are exchange mods
Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz & Christopher Diaz: I love this trio dynamic so much - of course I think Eddie is a great dad (even though the Kim stuff was wild) and Buck has such a strong relationship with Christopher and I like moments with the three of them casually having dinner or playing video games in the early seasons. And the serious, heartfelt moments are so strong too - I like that Chris feels he can rely on Buck and knows to call him when his dad is in trouble. They just look comfortable together and just are a family.
Prompts:
1. Moments of Buck getting to know Christopher pre-Tsunami
2. Eddie and Buck spending various holidays with Chris
3. adjusting to a new dynamic after Buck and Eddie start dating (Buck has to learn to be bad cop sometimes?)
Evan "Buck" Buckley & Maddie Buckley: 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
Evan "Buck" Buckley & Jee-Yun Buckley Han: Buck and his niece! They are a duo I definitely want to see more of because Jee is so cute and Buck is really adorable with kids.
Prompts:
1. Buck babysitting Jee
2. their relationship over the years as she gets older
3. Buck accidentally or purposefully ends up making a baby box or a scrapbook for Jee
Maddie Buckley & Eddie Diaz: 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

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
Other Ships I like (for background, if necessary): 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, 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
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. letters they sent/never sent
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)

Friendships/Gen: Barbie & Gloria, Barbie & Gloria & Sasha, Margot Robbie's Barbie & any other Barbie, Ryan Gosling's Ken & any other Ken
Margot Robbie's Barbie: I really loved seeing her journey. She was a very reluctant hero but I could see why she didn't want her world shaken up. She was still very sweet and kind and enthusiastic and got where she needed to be eventually. I'd love to read about her adjusting to her new life!
Prompts:
1. figuring out a life/career
2. visiting Barbie Land after she settles down
3. she gets famous for something and does an interview
Margot Robbie's Barbie/Ryan Gosling's Ken: I just couldn't help but love these two, individually and together. While I definitely get why they didn't end up together and her lack of feelings and how he needed to move on, I still ship them. I think Ken needs to find himself outside of Barbie but I thought it would've been neat if he had also made it to the human world or I like picturing them finding their way back to one another. I only don't want to see Barbie shamed for not returning Ken's feelings earlier.
Prompts:
1. Ken ends up in the real world and they reconnect
2. There's another stereotypical Barbie that shows up and Barbie hears that there is going to be a "Barbie/Ken" wedding and she thinks it is her Ken, which makes her realize she does miss/have feelings for her Ken (and then it could be a misunderstanding like it was actually another Ken)
3. date nights, Ken learning to ride a horse, getting used to the real world together

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
Other Ships I like (for background, if needed): Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Bucky/Natasha/Sam, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Clint/Coulson, Natasha/Pepper, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, Maria/Sharon, Nebula/Rhodey, Natasha/Peggy, Peggy/Steve, Carol/Rhodey, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Sam/T'Challa, Steve/Tony, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/M'Baku, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Tony/Pepper
Friendships/Gen: any of the above, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam, Steve & Natasha, Tony & Nebula, Tony & Rhodey, any combo of the Avengers
Bucky/Natasha: I haven't read the comics but I think the potential of these two is intriguing. They both have darkish pasts that they struggle to go past and want to make the right choices. Both have a dry sense of humor and I feel like Natasha would enjoy teasing Bucky the way she does Steve. Natasha has said to have lost to the Winter Soldier multiple times so they have clashed in the past and I definitely would've been interested in seeing more of them together in the MCU. I am good with it being set during TFATWS too, with Natasha's death being handwaved or she is return when Steve returns the soul stone
Prompts:
1. Natasha survives 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
2. They meet in the '40s - either Natasha existed then or she's time traveling
3. They're set up on a blind date/meet on a dating app
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. rumors about them being a couple/tabloid speculation
2. either they time travel to the past or past!Bucky comes to the future and he flirts with Sam, making present!Bucky jealous
3. 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.
Natasha/Sam: I really liked these two during TWS. I thought they had good chemistry and I feel like their personalities mesh. They both have a sense of humor, have strong values and are very loyal and brave. It is one of the couples I really could've seen working in canon. Sam's one of my favorites- he's kind but no nonsense and has the attitude that Natasha would appreciate.
Prompts:
1. soulmate AU where Natasha's mark was either damaged or removed in her past
2. Bodyguard AU where Sam's the new Captain America and they assign Natasha to protect him after he gains a stalker
3. undercover mission where they have to pretend to be together/married
Steve Rogers: He's one of my favorite characters. He's brave and stubborn and fights for what he believes in. He's not flawless but that makes him more interesting. And he has a sense of humor/can be a bit of a troll, which makes him fun too. The deleted scenes from The Avengers where he is going around/adjusting to life in the present really make me sympathize with his situation even more. My unpopular opinion is that his Endgame ending did make sense, since I never really saw him totally adjusting and learning to *live* in the present, just accept his circumstances and I do believe what happened in the five years/losing Natasha really did play a huge part, since she was all he had for so long. That being said, I do enjoy fics where he does adjust and isn't just jumping from crisis to crisis. But I'd love anything from any point of canon, whether that is pre-TFA all the way up to Endgame or total AUs.
Prompts:
1. He does an interview any any point
2. post Avengers - where did Steve go when he rode off on his motorcycle
3. Steve dealing with life post Snap - how he decided to start the grief counseling group, etc

Fandom DNW: bashing canon love interests (Lois, Rory, Steve, etc)
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. one of them rescues the other
2. college roommates AU
3. they're on vacation in the same place
Diana Prince (DCEU)/Natasha Romanov (MCU): Diana and Natasha also 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. one of them ends up in the other's universe and ends up connecting with the other
3. one of the saves the other's life
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. they end up meeting on a forum or are pen pals (maybe a modern AU where they're both vets connecting and matching anonymously on that basis)
James "Bucky" Barnes (MCU)/Evan "Buck" Buckley (9-1-1)/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1): Basically see above and add Buck. I definitely think Buck and Bucky would enjoy trolling the rest of the 118 a little bit but also if Eddie and Bucky get together or become friends first, Buck would definitely be thrown off and I wouldn't be surprised if his abandonment issues kick in.
Prompts:
1. Buck and Eddie both had childhood crushes on Bucky Barnes - and then they meet him (they can already be together or all three get together at the same time)
2. trying to find time for date nights
3. one of them gets hurt/sick and the other two take care of them
Peggy Carter (MCU)/Diana Prince (DCEU): Obviously they've both experienced the loss of their blond haired Steve to plane accidents but I think they're both tough women who are compassionate and have enough differences to make a fun ship. They're both a little jaded but still have a lot of hope/always want to do what's right, and I can see them drawn to one another.
Prompts:
1. Diana runs into Peggy after WWII
2. Peggy finds herself in Themyscira
3. meet while searching for a common enemy
James T. Kirk (ST:AOS)/Diana Prince (DCEU): Of course, again, the fact that Kirk is 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. Diana is brought in as a specialist to help with a mission
3. they meet when Kirk is on shore leave
4. Kirk is rescued by Wonder Woman
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 when his mom sends him away
2. they meet in California, when Jess is with his father and Peyton has moved there after high school
3. Peyton's label has signed Lane's band and they meet through them (maybe at a show)
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. Also they were both raised by single moms and have a couple of issues with their father (though Dan is definitely worse than Christopher).
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. they get set up on a blind date

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 & Steve
Clark Kent/Lois Lane: 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. AU where Krypton doesn't explode - Lois is thrown into an arranged marriage with Kal-El to bring an understanding between their worlds
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.
Diana (Wonder Woman): She's such an awesome character - just strong and brave and compassionate. She's always willing to stand up for what she believes in and is full of empathy for others. I enjoyed her origin story in WW and was a little let down by WW84 but I still wish we got a third movie. I would love to read about any Themyscira backstory or anything set at any point in canon.
Prompts:
1. Diana right after the first WW. Does she go back to Themyscira at any point? How does she get the job at the Louvre?
2. helping expand the League and her own efforts post Justice League (I prefer the ZS version)
Diana (Wonder Woman) & Lois Lane: I wish we could've seen them really meet/interact. I think they both could use another friend and Gal and Amy had such good off screen chemistry in interviews too. I think they would get along, especially after BvS - Diana knows what it is like to lose the man she loves and it could've been a good place to start.
Prompts:
1. AU where Lois meets Diana before she meets Clark
2. Lois and Diana work together to solve a case/track down a villain
3. Diana takes Lois to Themyscira
4. It's Diana who visits Lois instead of J'onn disguised as Martha
Diana (Wonder Woman)/Steve Trevor: 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 and Steve visit Themyscira
2. they meet online, some place where they don't know each other's real name, and connect
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

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 (for background): 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 & Luke, Jess & Lane, Jess & Paris, Jess & April, Jess & Doula, Jess & Lily, Rory & Lane, Rory & Paris, Rory & April, Rory & Lorelai, Rory & Richard, Rory & Emily, Rory & Luke, Lorelai & Sookie, Lorelai & Emily, Lorelai & Richard
Jess Mariano: He was one of my favorite characters on the show. I like that we saw this broody boy who, to be fair, had reason to be upset that he was stuck in Stars Hollow (as much as I love him, Luke was pretty much forced in taking him) and we saw him really grow. Even though he may not have been serious about school but he was clearly a hard worker, as proven by the fact that he got Employee of the Month and he took steps to changing himself in s4 by reading the self help book. I like how his relationship with Luke was at the heart of his development and that we not only saw the potential but saw him live up to it and it stuck in the Revival, which was one of my favorite parts. It was really heartwarming to see him stable and be supportive to both Luke and Rory.
Prompts:
1. AU where Jess grew up in Stars Hollow (with or without Liz)
2. Jess in between s4 & s6 - writing his book, making friends with Matt & Chris and working at the Truncheon
3. Jess getting to know April and/or Doula, or keeping in touch with Lily
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. They don't break up and maintain a long distance relationship
3. Lane is working at Luke's and Dave is a frequent customer who is part of a band. One day, they need a replacement drummer.
4. they're members of different bands and meet at a music festival
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. anything set after s7- where they're working their way back together, and maybe they even get married/do decide to have more kids
2. Luke tells Lorelai about April immediately and they figure it out together
3. Lorelai ends up on the cruise with Luke instead of Nicole
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. College AU where Rory is a student and Jess works at the library (either college or local - either at Harvard or Yale) - maybe it was his safe haven when he was younger and ended up getting a job there. He could be writing on the side too

Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" canon (namely Clark giving up his powers for good)
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 & 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. 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. anything set in the seven year gap (maybe they get married sooner, Lois's first interview with Superman, rumors about Lois & Superman, etc)
3. Lois remembering one of the things she didn't in canon (what happened in 'Crimson', keeping her memories after Clark turned back time in 'Identity', retaining her memories after 'Pandora') and how that changes things for them
Clark/Lois/Oliver: My OT3. While I love the individual ships in it, I also love the dynamic they have as a trio. We didn't get to see as many scenes with just them as I would've liked but the ones were got were really great. They really balance one another out. Each of them has something in common with one of the others (Clark with Ollie, Clark with Lois, Lois with Ollie) but they're different enough to really make it interesting. I'm good with the three of them getting together at the same time or two of them already being together and including the third.
Prompts:
1. 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. one of them doesn't realize the other is flirting/doesn't realize it's a date
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 doesn't get kicked out of college and then she needs a roommate
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. I think they would get along if they spent time in later seasons together, especially after Tess switches 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

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

Fandom DNW: Nate bashing/focus on his compeuppance, Sam/Rebecca - there (fine as past relationship) and/or Rebecca using him as a substitute for Ted
Other Ships I like (for background): The Higgins, Keeley/Roy, Sam/Dani, Sam/Jamie, Sam/Dani/Jamie
Friendships/Gen: any combo of AFC Richmond players, Ted & Beard, Ted & Roy, Ted & Jamie, Roy Beard, Roy & Jamie, Roy & Phoebe, Jamie & Phoebe, Rebecca & Higgins, Rebecca & Keeley, Rebecca & Nora, Rebecca & Sassy, Keeley & Jamie
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. Especially in the second half of season 2 and season 3. They were literally in a triangle at one point and how they were laughing together and seemed to fit just made it feel like they could easily go in that direction. I was annoyed at the show having that weird fight between Roy & Jamie, especially at that point and after Jamie specifically said he wouldn't get in their way toward the end of s2, but at least Keeley shut it down. The ending felt very open to the three of them being together too.
Prompts:
1. post canon- there's some misunderstanding and it ends up with Roy going on a date with another guy who looks like Jamie. Keeley and Jamie are jealous
2. Roy gets amnesia and becomes more like he was in his early twenties; Keeley and Jamie find it hot
3. Roy goes on vacation and with Keeley's insistence, Jamie ends up tagging along. They end up developing feelings and then Keeley joins in
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. Ted's already divorced when he gets the Richmond job and has a one night stand before his first day of work and it turns out that it was Rebecca
2. rumors about their relationship in the tabloids
3. they miss each other after Ted goes back to Kansas and how they gradually find their way back

Fandom DNW: tommy bashing/the idea he was actually interested in eddie first
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 Diaz & Eddie Diaz: 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
Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz I just love them. From the initial hostility to their quick friendship and easy chemistry. 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. they meet in fandom/the 118 are exchange mods
Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz & Christopher Diaz: I love this trio dynamic so much - of course I think Eddie is a great dad (even though the Kim stuff was wild) and Buck has such a strong relationship with Christopher and I like moments with the three of them casually having dinner or playing video games in the early seasons. And the serious, heartfelt moments are so strong too - I like that Chris feels he can rely on Buck and knows to call him when his dad is in trouble. They just look comfortable together and just are a family.
Prompts:
1. Moments of Buck getting to know Christopher pre-Tsunami
2. Eddie and Buck spending various holidays with Chris
3. adjusting to a new dynamic after Buck and Eddie start dating (Buck has to learn to be bad cop sometimes?)
Evan "Buck" Buckley & Maddie Buckley: 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
Evan "Buck" Buckley & Jee-Yun Buckley Han: Buck and his niece! They are a duo I definitely want to see more of because Jee is so cute and Buck is really adorable with kids.
Prompts:
1. Buck babysitting Jee
2. their relationship over the years as she gets older
3. Buck accidentally or purposefully ends up making a baby box or a scrapbook for Jee
Maddie Buckley & Eddie Diaz: 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

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
Other Ships I like (for background, if necessary): 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, 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
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. letters they sent/never sent
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)

Friendships/Gen: Barbie & Gloria, Barbie & Gloria & Sasha, Margot Robbie's Barbie & any other Barbie, Ryan Gosling's Ken & any other Ken
Margot Robbie's Barbie: I really loved seeing her journey. She was a very reluctant hero but I could see why she didn't want her world shaken up. She was still very sweet and kind and enthusiastic and got where she needed to be eventually. I'd love to read about her adjusting to her new life!
Prompts:
1. figuring out a life/career
2. visiting Barbie Land after she settles down
3. she gets famous for something and does an interview
Margot Robbie's Barbie/Ryan Gosling's Ken: I just couldn't help but love these two, individually and together. While I definitely get why they didn't end up together and her lack of feelings and how he needed to move on, I still ship them. I think Ken needs to find himself outside of Barbie but I thought it would've been neat if he had also made it to the human world or I like picturing them finding their way back to one another. I only don't want to see Barbie shamed for not returning Ken's feelings earlier.
Prompts:
1. Ken ends up in the real world and they reconnect
2. There's another stereotypical Barbie that shows up and Barbie hears that there is going to be a "Barbie/Ken" wedding and she thinks it is her Ken, which makes her realize she does miss/have feelings for her Ken (and then it could be a misunderstanding like it was actually another Ken)
3. date nights, Ken learning to ride a horse, getting used to the real world together

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
Other Ships I like (for background, if needed): Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Bucky/Natasha/Sam, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Clint/Coulson, Natasha/Pepper, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, Maria/Sharon, Nebula/Rhodey, Natasha/Peggy, Peggy/Steve, Carol/Rhodey, Sam/Rhodey, Sam/Erik Killmonger, Sam/T'Challa, Steve/Tony, T'Challa/Nakia, T'Challa/M'Baku, Thor/Jane, Thor/Sif, Tony/Pepper
Friendships/Gen: any of the above, Steve & Bucky, Steve & Sam, Steve & Natasha, Tony & Nebula, Tony & Rhodey, any combo of the Avengers
Bucky/Natasha: I haven't read the comics but I think the potential of these two is intriguing. They both have darkish pasts that they struggle to go past and want to make the right choices. Both have a dry sense of humor and I feel like Natasha would enjoy teasing Bucky the way she does Steve. Natasha has said to have lost to the Winter Soldier multiple times so they have clashed in the past and I definitely would've been interested in seeing more of them together in the MCU. I am good with it being set during TFATWS too, with Natasha's death being handwaved or she is return when Steve returns the soul stone
Prompts:
1. Natasha survives 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
2. They meet in the '40s - either Natasha existed then or she's time traveling
3. They're set up on a blind date/meet on a dating app
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. rumors about them being a couple/tabloid speculation
2. either they time travel to the past or past!Bucky comes to the future and he flirts with Sam, making present!Bucky jealous
3. 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.
Natasha/Sam: I really liked these two during TWS. I thought they had good chemistry and I feel like their personalities mesh. They both have a sense of humor, have strong values and are very loyal and brave. It is one of the couples I really could've seen working in canon. Sam's one of my favorites- he's kind but no nonsense and has the attitude that Natasha would appreciate.
Prompts:
1. soulmate AU where Natasha's mark was either damaged or removed in her past
2. Bodyguard AU where Sam's the new Captain America and they assign Natasha to protect him after he gains a stalker
3. undercover mission where they have to pretend to be together/married
Steve Rogers: He's one of my favorite characters. He's brave and stubborn and fights for what he believes in. He's not flawless but that makes him more interesting. And he has a sense of humor/can be a bit of a troll, which makes him fun too. The deleted scenes from The Avengers where he is going around/adjusting to life in the present really make me sympathize with his situation even more. My unpopular opinion is that his Endgame ending did make sense, since I never really saw him totally adjusting and learning to *live* in the present, just accept his circumstances and I do believe what happened in the five years/losing Natasha really did play a huge part, since she was all he had for so long. That being said, I do enjoy fics where he does adjust and isn't just jumping from crisis to crisis. But I'd love anything from any point of canon, whether that is pre-TFA all the way up to Endgame or total AUs.
Prompts:
1. He does an interview any any point
2. post Avengers - where did Steve go when he rode off on his motorcycle
3. Steve dealing with life post Snap - how he decided to start the grief counseling group, etc

Fandom DNW: bashing canon love interests (Lois, Rory, Steve, etc)
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. one of them rescues the other
2. college roommates AU
3. they're on vacation in the same place
Diana Prince (DCEU)/Natasha Romanov (MCU): Diana and Natasha also 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. one of them ends up in the other's universe and ends up connecting with the other
3. one of the saves the other's life
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. they end up meeting on a forum or are pen pals (maybe a modern AU where they're both vets connecting and matching anonymously on that basis)
James "Bucky" Barnes (MCU)/Evan "Buck" Buckley (9-1-1)/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1): Basically see above and add Buck. I definitely think Buck and Bucky would enjoy trolling the rest of the 118 a little bit but also if Eddie and Bucky get together or become friends first, Buck would definitely be thrown off and I wouldn't be surprised if his abandonment issues kick in.
Prompts:
1. Buck and Eddie both had childhood crushes on Bucky Barnes - and then they meet him (they can already be together or all three get together at the same time)
2. trying to find time for date nights
3. one of them gets hurt/sick and the other two take care of them
Peggy Carter (MCU)/Diana Prince (DCEU): Obviously they've both experienced the loss of their blond haired Steve to plane accidents but I think they're both tough women who are compassionate and have enough differences to make a fun ship. They're both a little jaded but still have a lot of hope/always want to do what's right, and I can see them drawn to one another.
Prompts:
1. Diana runs into Peggy after WWII
2. Peggy finds herself in Themyscira
3. meet while searching for a common enemy
James T. Kirk (ST:AOS)/Diana Prince (DCEU): Of course, again, the fact that Kirk is 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. Diana is brought in as a specialist to help with a mission
3. they meet when Kirk is on shore leave
4. Kirk is rescued by Wonder Woman
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 when his mom sends him away
2. they meet in California, when Jess is with his father and Peyton has moved there after high school
3. Peyton's label has signed Lane's band and they meet through them (maybe at a show)
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. Also they were both raised by single moms and have a couple of issues with their father (though Dan is definitely worse than Christopher).
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. they get set up on a blind date

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 & Steve
Clark Kent/Lois Lane: 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. AU where Krypton doesn't explode - Lois is thrown into an arranged marriage with Kal-El to bring an understanding between their worlds
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.
Diana (Wonder Woman): She's such an awesome character - just strong and brave and compassionate. She's always willing to stand up for what she believes in and is full of empathy for others. I enjoyed her origin story in WW and was a little let down by WW84 but I still wish we got a third movie. I would love to read about any Themyscira backstory or anything set at any point in canon.
Prompts:
1. Diana right after the first WW. Does she go back to Themyscira at any point? How does she get the job at the Louvre?
2. helping expand the League and her own efforts post Justice League (I prefer the ZS version)
Diana (Wonder Woman) & Lois Lane: I wish we could've seen them really meet/interact. I think they both could use another friend and Gal and Amy had such good off screen chemistry in interviews too. I think they would get along, especially after BvS - Diana knows what it is like to lose the man she loves and it could've been a good place to start.
Prompts:
1. AU where Lois meets Diana before she meets Clark
2. Lois and Diana work together to solve a case/track down a villain
3. Diana takes Lois to Themyscira
4. It's Diana who visits Lois instead of J'onn disguised as Martha
Diana (Wonder Woman)/Steve Trevor: 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 and Steve visit Themyscira
2. they meet online, some place where they don't know each other's real name, and connect
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

Medium Opt-In: Writing - In-Universe Diary Entry
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 (for background): 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 & Luke, Jess & Lane, Jess & Paris, Jess & April, Jess & Doula, Jess & Lily, Rory & Lane, Rory & Paris, Rory & April, Rory & Lorelai, Rory & Richard, Rory & Emily, Rory & Luke, Lorelai & Sookie, Lorelai & Emily, Lorelai & Richard
Jess Mariano: He was one of my favorite characters on the show. I like that we saw this broody boy who, to be fair, had reason to be upset that he was stuck in Stars Hollow (as much as I love him, Luke was pretty much forced in taking him) and we saw him really grow. Even though he may not have been serious about school but he was clearly a hard worker, as proven by the fact that he got Employee of the Month and he took steps to changing himself in s4 by reading the self help book. I like how his relationship with Luke was at the heart of his development and that we not only saw the potential but saw him live up to it and it stuck in the Revival, which was one of my favorite parts. It was really heartwarming to see him stable and be supportive to both Luke and Rory.
Prompts:
1. AU where Jess grew up in Stars Hollow (with or without Liz)
2. Jess in between s4 & s6 - writing his book, making friends with Matt & Chris and working at the Truncheon
3. Jess getting to know April and/or Doula, or keeping in touch with Lily
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. They don't break up and maintain a long distance relationship
3. Lane is working at Luke's and Dave is a frequent customer who is part of a band. One day, they need a replacement drummer.
4. they're members of different bands and meet at a music festival
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. anything set after s7- where they're working their way back together, and maybe they even get married/do decide to have more kids
2. Luke tells Lorelai about April immediately and they figure it out together
3. Lorelai ends up on the cruise with Luke instead of Nicole
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. College AU where Rory is a student and Jess works at the library (either college or local - either at Harvard or Yale) - maybe it was his safe haven when he was younger and ended up getting a job there. He could be writing on the side too

Medium Opt-In: Writing - In-Universe Excerpts from a Character's Journal/Notebook
Medium Opt-In: Writing - Chatroom
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" canon (namely Clark giving up his powers for good)
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 & 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. 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. anything set in the seven year gap (maybe they get married sooner, Lois's first interview with Superman, rumors about Lois & Superman, etc)
3. Lois remembering one of the things she didn't in canon (what happened in 'Crimson', keeping her memories after Clark turned back time in 'Identity', retaining her memories after 'Pandora') and how that changes things for them
Clark/Lois/Oliver: My OT3. While I love the individual ships in it, I also love the dynamic they have as a trio. We didn't get to see as many scenes with just them as I would've liked but the ones were got were really great. They really balance one another out. Each of them has something in common with one of the others (Clark with Ollie, Clark with Lois, Lois with Ollie) but they're different enough to really make it interesting. I'm good with the three of them getting together at the same time or two of them already being together and including the third.
Prompts:
1. 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. one of them doesn't realize the other is flirting/doesn't realize it's a date
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 doesn't get kicked out of college and then she needs a roommate
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. I think they would get along if they spent time in later seasons together, especially after Tess switches 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

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

Fandom DNW: Nate bashing/focus on his compeuppance, Sam/Rebecca - there (fine as past relationship) and/or Rebecca using him as a substitute for Ted
Other Ships I like (for background): The Higgins, Keeley/Roy, Sam/Dani, Sam/Jamie, Sam/Dani/Jamie
Friendships/Gen: any combo of AFC Richmond players, Ted & Beard, Ted & Roy, Ted & Jamie, Roy Beard, Roy & Jamie, Roy & Phoebe, Jamie & Phoebe, Rebecca & Higgins, Rebecca & Keeley, Rebecca & Nora, Rebecca & Sassy, Keeley & Jamie
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. Especially in the second half of season 2 and season 3. They were literally in a triangle at one point and how they were laughing together and seemed to fit just made it feel like they could easily go in that direction. I was annoyed at the show having that weird fight between Roy & Jamie, especially at that point and after Jamie specifically said he wouldn't get in their way toward the end of s2, but at least Keeley shut it down. The ending felt very open to the three of them being together too.
Prompts:
1. post canon- there's some misunderstanding and it ends up with Roy going on a date with another guy who looks like Jamie. Keeley and Jamie are jealous
2. Roy gets amnesia and becomes more like he was in his early twenties; Keeley and Jamie find it hot
3. Roy goes on vacation and with Keeley's insistence, Jamie ends up tagging along. They end up developing feelings and then Keeley joins in
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. Ted's already divorced when he gets the Richmond job and has a one night stand before his first day of work and it turns out that it was Rebecca
2. rumors about their relationship in the tabloids
3. they miss each other after Ted goes back to Kansas and how they gradually find their way back
Thanks again! :D
