svgurlDear creator,
Thank you for participating in this exchange! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with and I hope the information below is helpful. I do enjoy Halloween/Halloween themes so you are welcome to use them should you be inclined to do so. I tried to leave a few prompts for each request, but you don't have to use them and if you feel like you like one prompt for another request, you can that that route too. Any prompts from past letters are okay too! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via the mods and I will do my best to answer as soon as possible.

9-1-1:
Fandom DNW: tommy bashing/the idea that he was into eddie first and settled for buck
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, 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. Eddie takes Chris trick or treating
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. witch!Eddie teaches his son magic
4. different ways that the team could've found out about Christopher
Evan Buckley & Christopher Diaz: Buck and Chris have such a sweet relationship. I love everything, from the two of them playing video games together to Chris going to Buck when he ran away and knowing to call him when Eddie was having a breakdown. I like them (+Eddie) as their own little family.
Prompts:
1. Christopher and Buck buying/carving pumpkins - even Buck sharing traditions that he used to have with Maddie or getting to do things he never did as a kid
2. keeping in touch while Chris is in Texas (both versions - either Chris talking only to him or initially refusing to do so and gradually softening as time goes on)
3. Buck parenting Christopher over the years
Evan 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. Maddie taking Buck trick or treating or making him a costume
2. Maddie leaves with Buck when they plan to and how their lives change from there
3. anything with Maddie, Buck, and Jee
Evan 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 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. masquerade ball/costume party and they accidentally end up in a couple's costume or there is some sort of mistaken identity shenanigans
2. magic AU where Eddie (or Buck) is a witch
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")
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
3. comforting each other when Buck is hurt
:Barbie:
Friendships/Gen: Ken & any other Ken, Ken & Alan, Barbie & any other Barbie, Barbie & Ken, Barbie & Gloria
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. her first Halloween
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 modern Ken)
3. date nights, Ken learning to ride a horse, getting used to the real world together
Crossover Fandom:
Fandom DNW: bashing canon love interests (Rory, Lois, 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. they dress as each other for Halloween
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. Eddie is dressed as Bucky Barnes or the Winter Soldier at a Halloween party only to run into the man himself
Eddie Diaz (9-1-1)/Steve Rogers (MCU): I just think it would be neat. Steve and Eddie have the whole veteran and look serious but are actually snarky and funny vibe in common. And they both enjoy baseball, which is a minor but fun plus. Of course their best friends having similar nicknames is the obvious one. What I said about Bucky/Eddie applies here too, regarding Stucky and Buck/Tommy.
Prompts:
1. AU where they're both baseball players and one gets traded to or signs with the other's team. Maybe both end up on the same new team and connect as the new guys
2. they get set up on a blind date (I could see Natasha bonding with Hen and Karen after a period of mutual caution and distrust)
3. Steve goes on a road trip to get away and runs into Eddie when he hits LA (or even when he's still in El Paso post Shannon leaving)
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): 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 (I could totally see Karen and Lorelai as friends, even if the former is a bit more conservative than the latter) 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 meet at a college party
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 & 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. baby's first Halloween
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.
Clark & Martha: I am always attached to them, no matter what the canon. One of favorite all time mother-son duos.
Prompts:
1. making Clark a Halloween costume
2. Martha, Clark, and his baby with Lois all bonding
3. spending time together after Clark is resurrected
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. learning about Halloween
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
Elementary:
Other ships I like (if necessary): Joan/Jamie Moriarty, Joan/Marcus Bell
Friendships/Gen: Sherlock & Marcus, Sherlock & Arthur, Joan & Marcus, Joan & Ms. Hudson, Sherlock & Alfredo, Joan & Arthur
Sherlock & Joan: I love their friendship/partnership and how it developed during the course of the show. Sherlock learning how capable Joan is and Joan not putting up with any bs right away. They love and respect one another so much, and I love that other people can see how important they are to one another, especially when it is Sherlock who is being seen. They're two people who love each other! :D
Prompts:
1. weird Halloween related case (could be supernatural or not)
2. Joan has to fake her death and how they deal with being separated and the reunion
3. patching up each other's wounds
Sherlock/Joan: As much as I love their friendship, I do ship them too. I can see them finding what they couldn't in other people in each other and when Sherlock showed her his mother's ring, ngl, I really wanted to see it on Joan's finger at some point, even if they're two people who seem like they would be happy to never need something like marriage.
Prompts:
1. friends with benefits turns into real feelings
2. being mistaken for a couple
3. date nights
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 (for background): Paris/Doyle, Paris/Jamie, Sookie/Jackson, Richard/Emily. I'm also fine with Lane/Zach if you want to set it in the later seasons
Friendships/Gen: Jess & Lane, Jess & Paris, Jess & April, Jess & Doula, Jess & Lily, Rory & Lane, Rory & Paris, Rory & April, 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
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. meeting at a music festival (either as guests or being in different bands)
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.
Lorelai & Rory: I really loved this mother/daughter relationship. It wasn't perfect but that makes it all that more interesting. Lorelai did her best to give Rory a good life and prioritize her and it was very clear that Rory appreciated all the sacrifices her mom made for her. For all that the show tries to push the narrative, especially in the Revival, that everyone turns out like their parents, Lorelai and Rory are shown to be very different people and I think it is worth thinking about how that affects them as she got older/did her own thing.
Prompts:
1. in which Rory has more internships abroad or her dream job puts her in more dangerous situations and Lorelai having to deal with that
2. AU where Lorelai didn't leave home with Rory. How their lives and relationship changed as Rory grew up with her grandparents
3. anything set pre-canon (Rory's first Halloween, etc)
4. anything Halloween related - I can't imagine they wouldn't be all over a holiday with candy and costumes (and Stars Hollow would be too)
Luke & Jess: Their relationship is one of my favorites on the show. I like how they were both uncertain and edgy - as much as I love Luke, he did take in Jess reluctantly - and then grew so close. Luke did want what was best for Jess, even when he didn't know how to express it, and Jess really grew to appreciate Luke's support and loyalty. Jess being there and supporting Luke in the Revival was one of the highlights for sure.
Prompts:
1. Jess grows up in Stars Hollow/goes to live with Luke earlier
2. keeping in touch after Jess leaves in s4
3. Jess showing Luke his first book
4. anything surrounding Jess's childhood - maybe Luke takes him trick or treating as a kid
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. AU where Luke finds out about April when she's a toddler and is also a single parent
4. pre-relationship where Lorelai needs/wants a date to a Halloween party (or any party) and she drags Luke
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 Gilmore: Rory is another of my favorite characters. She's kind, smart, and hardworking and she just wants to believe in the best in people while still being able to stand up for herself (as showing with both Paris and Jess). While she does make mistakes and has had her stumbles, I do think she does take responsibility for her actions and does her best to fix them. I was a little let down by the Revival but I've since come around and don't think she's not as far gone as people seem to believe.
Prompts:
1. post Revival, writing a book and figuring out a longer career path. She can find her way back to journalism or try something new - I can see her getting a Masters and teaching at Chilton, since she seemed to connect with the students on her visit
2. what she was doing in between s7 & the Revival - following the campaign, her New Yorker article, etc
3. her relationship with her grandfather and grief over his passing
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. anything set during s3 - the show referred to their regular dates but we didn't see it! So movie nights, going to the bookstore, etc
MCU:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side (I'm Team Cap but I don't want to go over it - I'm fine if it is touched upon but not with one side groveling and the other just being superior/noble), 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: Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Bucky/Natasha/Sam, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Clint/Coulson, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, 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, 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. trying to date while avoiding the media
2. There are rumors about them being a couple, only they're not and now they can't stop thinking about it
3. either they time travel to the past or past!Bucky comes to the future and he flirts with Sam, making present!Bucky jealous
4. spending time in Louisiana
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. going on vacation together
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
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. Peggy got some version of the serum and she is on the plane when it crashes and they both end up in the future
2. Steve is found sooner and he and Peggy adjust to live with the added celebrity of Captain America
3. Instead of dying in CACW, Peggy is deaged. Or she dies and comes back to life
Pepper/Natasha: I liked their interactions in Iron Man 2 and I wish we could've seen more of them. They seemed to get along/like one another, and I think their personalities would work well in the long term too.
Prompts:
1. soulmate AU- maybe Pepper is skeptical and Natasha doesn't believe in them
2. bodyguard AU where Natasha is assigned to protect Pepper
3. date night
Sam Wilson: I loved him right after watching TWS - he's just awesome and snarky and just so good at heart. The way he was so sympathetic and understanding to Steve while not babying him and how he just didn't think twice before helping Natasha and Steve out got to me. I do like how he doesn't put up with anyone's BS and how he really gets people, on a certain level. He has a strong belief system of his own - I mean, he was already anti Accords before Steve had an opinion and wasn't on Team Cap just because he was following someone - and will do what it takes. Which is why he makes a great Captain America.
Prompts:
1. learning to adjust in his new role as Cap
2. pre-canon, with how Sam became a therapist
3. spending time with his sister and nephews
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. stories about him returning the stones
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
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. impromptu feelings revelation, maybe after one of them gets hurt protecting the other
2. first dates, anniversaries, date nights, proposals - anything fluffy and/or romantic
3. artist Steve + Tony as his muse
Smallville:
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' (good with Clark and Lois having twins/being married in Clois fics, but not with him permanently giving up his powers)
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 & Lana, Clark & Lois, Clark & Oliver, Clark & Lex, Clark & Tess, Lois & Lana, Lois & Oliver, Lois & Martha, Oliver & Mia, Oliver & Tess
Clark & Kara: I really liked the idea of these two and I wish we could've seen more of them in s7. Clark having stable Kryptonian family that could teach him about his history (Raya was the only other one that got close - I'm not all that fond of the AI) and culture would've been nice. It'd also be great to see Kara finding her own footing and see where she lands up, outside of Supergirl.
Prompts:
1. Kara and Clark bonding
2. the two of them teaming up to take down a villain
3. AU where Kara's ship opened and then she finds/takes care of Clark herself
Clark/Lois: A canon OTP for me. I really loved other version of Clois but this one is my favorite. I fell for them immediately and I absolutely loved their frenemies to lovers journey- their banter was fun, but I also enjoyed the way they got close immediately, in between Clark being there for Lois after her sister left again (and later with even with some of the guys she dated- he definitely came off as jealous of AC) and Lois stopping Clark from murdering Alicia's killer- they were really strong friends and their journey to realizing how they felt was lovely. They definitely flirted (see: dunk tank scene) and suppressed some feelings over the years, but when they were finally on the same page and got together, it was well worth the wait. He really lets her in and fights for her and she makes him laugh and loves all sides of Clark. In the end, they just love each other for all that they are, flaws and all. Lois getting close to Clark's parents even before they were together (and how they love her) is another point that I appreciated. I like anything set during canon or divergences or post canon (or in that seven year gap) or complete AUs. I only ask that you don't make Lana the villain should you go this route. I am not a fan of Clana but I also think she would be supportive and not derail them.
Prompts:
1. investigating a Halloween related mystery (questionable costume store?)
2. Daily Planet Halloween party
3. Lois remembering one of the things she didn't in canon (what happened in 'Crimson', keeping her memories after Clark turned back time in 'Identity', retaining her memories after 'Pandora') and how that changes things for them
Clark/Lois/Oliver: My OT3. While I love the individual ships in it, I also love the dynamic they have as a trio. We didn't get to see as many scenes with just them as I would've liked but the ones were got were really great. They really balance one another out. Each of them has something in common with one of the others (Clark with Ollie, Clark with Lois, Lois with Ollie) but they're different enough to really make it interesting. I'm good with the three of them getting together at the same time or two of them already being together and including the third.
Prompts:
1. they get to finish their movie night in "hydro"
2. Oliver hangs out with Lois & Clark post Green Arrow reveal and has feelings for both of them
3. Oliver and Lois have gotten back together/never broken up and he notices the chemistry between Clark & Lois. Then he realizes Clark is into him too and makes a plan (after consulting Lois); bonus: he and Clark kissed as a distraction and he wasn't able to stop thinking about it
Clark/Oliver: Another OTP. I didn't expect to fall for them as hard as I did in s6 but I just loved their dynamic. The push and pull and the way they had this ultimate respect for one another was great but then it grew in s8-10. It was tough watching them fight but I did like how they always came back together, and even when they didn't agree, they cared about each other with Clark always believing Oliver was better and Oliver reminding Clark that the Kandorians weren't the only family that he had. One of my favorite moments was when Clark said that he hadn't quit on Oliver Queen in "Echo". One thing I do ask if that if you choose to set it in the later seasons that Lois doesn't get hurt. I am fine with handwaving the Clois romance rather than her having unrequited feelings or them breaking up because I adore her/don't want to see her hurt and I love Clois.
Prompts:
1. Clark goes to a masquerade ball hosted by Queen Industries and strikes it off with a mysterious "stranger" (maybe J'onn is posing as Oliver to practice his shapeshifting, which is why he doesn't think it's Ollie?)
2. one of them gets hurt and the other one seems to not be visiting but it turns out that they're taking the night shift so others can rest/they can protect them when they're most vulnerable
3. Oliver broke a witch's heart (can be Zatanna) and her father curses him to be a genie/trapped in a lamp. Clark buys it.
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/Oliver: I really never expected to like them as much as I did, but their chemistry in s6 was undeniable and both their breakups really got to me. I loved how sexy and playful they were, even when his secret was in between them, and how he fell for her at literally first sight and the way she mistook him for a courier. Most importantly, their friendship in the final seasons was one of the best parts - they really transitioned into supportive bffs perfectly and were a ton of fun.
Prompts:
1. she gives him a second chance in 'Siren' and they have to deal with a long distance relationship
2. Lois realizes she's pregnant after Oliver leaves
3. she has to interview him
4. how they got together in the Luthor world (please ignore the comic canon that has him cheating on her with Chloe)
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. Lois gets roped into participating in a charity auction; Tess bids on/wins.
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. Lana already believed in Tess when they met in s8 and I think they would get along even better 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
Star Trek (AOS):
Other Ships I like (for background): Bones/Christine, Bones/Uhura, Bones/Carol Marcus, Gaila/Uhura, Amanda/Sarek
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, but the media takes it seriously
2. one or both of them is flirting with the other and they just don't realize it (ex: Kirk flirting with Spock and Spock dismissing it as the way Kirk always is)
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
Ted Lasso:
Fandom DNW: Nate bashing/focus on his comeuppance, Sam/Rebecca - there (fine as past relationship) and/or Rebecca using him as a substitute for Ted
Other Ships I like (for background, if necessary): Keeley/Roy/Jamie, Sam/Jamie, Sam/Dani, Sam/Dani/Jamie, any ships that don't break up the requested ones or what else is listed here
Friendships/Gen: any combo of AFC Richmond players, Ted & Beard, Ted & Roy, Ted & Jamie, Roy Beard, Roy & Jamie, Rebecca & Higgins, Rebecca & Keeley, Rebecca & Nora, Rebecca & Sassy
Keeley/Roy: I just loved their relationship on the show. How they came together, and how they communicate and make it over their hurdles and how *into* each other they were. Also so supportive and reassuring. Really adorable. I was very sad about their breakup in s3 but I like to imagine that they can still find their way back to one another. I'm fine with fics set at any point or AUs where they didn't break up at all.
Prompts:
1. Keeley ends up winning Roy in the auction
2. Roy finds a time/way to propose and now they have to plan the wedding
3. taking Phoebe trick or treating
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. celebrating Halloween (or any other holiday) together
3. they miss each other after Ted goes back to Kansas and how they gradually find their way back

9-1-1:
Fandom DNW: tommy bashing/the idea that he was into eddie first and settled for buck
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, 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. Eddie takes Chris trick or treating
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. witch!Eddie teaches his son magic
4. different ways that the team could've found out about Christopher
Evan Buckley & Christopher Diaz: Buck and Chris have such a sweet relationship. I love everything, from the two of them playing video games together to Chris going to Buck when he ran away and knowing to call him when Eddie was having a breakdown. I like them (+Eddie) as their own little family.
Prompts:
1. Christopher and Buck buying/carving pumpkins - even Buck sharing traditions that he used to have with Maddie or getting to do things he never did as a kid
2. keeping in touch while Chris is in Texas (both versions - either Chris talking only to him or initially refusing to do so and gradually softening as time goes on)
3. Buck parenting Christopher over the years
Evan 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. Maddie taking Buck trick or treating or making him a costume
2. Maddie leaves with Buck when they plan to and how their lives change from there
3. anything with Maddie, Buck, and Jee
Evan 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 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. masquerade ball/costume party and they accidentally end up in a couple's costume or there is some sort of mistaken identity shenanigans
2. magic AU where Eddie (or Buck) is a witch
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")
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
3. comforting each other when Buck is hurt
:Barbie:
Friendships/Gen: Ken & any other Ken, Ken & Alan, Barbie & any other Barbie, Barbie & Ken, Barbie & Gloria
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. her first Halloween
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 modern Ken)
3. date nights, Ken learning to ride a horse, getting used to the real world together
Crossover Fandom:
Fandom DNW: bashing canon love interests (Rory, Lois, 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. they dress as each other for Halloween
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. Eddie is dressed as Bucky Barnes or the Winter Soldier at a Halloween party only to run into the man himself
Eddie Diaz (9-1-1)/Steve Rogers (MCU): I just think it would be neat. Steve and Eddie have the whole veteran and look serious but are actually snarky and funny vibe in common. And they both enjoy baseball, which is a minor but fun plus. Of course their best friends having similar nicknames is the obvious one. What I said about Bucky/Eddie applies here too, regarding Stucky and Buck/Tommy.
Prompts:
1. AU where they're both baseball players and one gets traded to or signs with the other's team. Maybe both end up on the same new team and connect as the new guys
2. they get set up on a blind date (I could see Natasha bonding with Hen and Karen after a period of mutual caution and distrust)
3. Steve goes on a road trip to get away and runs into Eddie when he hits LA (or even when he's still in El Paso post Shannon leaving)
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): 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 (I could totally see Karen and Lorelai as friends, even if the former is a bit more conservative than the latter) 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 meet at a college party
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 & 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. baby's first Halloween
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.
Clark & Martha: I am always attached to them, no matter what the canon. One of favorite all time mother-son duos.
Prompts:
1. making Clark a Halloween costume
2. Martha, Clark, and his baby with Lois all bonding
3. spending time together after Clark is resurrected
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. learning about Halloween
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
Elementary:
Other ships I like (if necessary): Joan/Jamie Moriarty, Joan/Marcus Bell
Friendships/Gen: Sherlock & Marcus, Sherlock & Arthur, Joan & Marcus, Joan & Ms. Hudson, Sherlock & Alfredo, Joan & Arthur
Sherlock & Joan: I love their friendship/partnership and how it developed during the course of the show. Sherlock learning how capable Joan is and Joan not putting up with any bs right away. They love and respect one another so much, and I love that other people can see how important they are to one another, especially when it is Sherlock who is being seen. They're two people who love each other! :D
Prompts:
1. weird Halloween related case (could be supernatural or not)
2. Joan has to fake her death and how they deal with being separated and the reunion
3. patching up each other's wounds
Sherlock/Joan: As much as I love their friendship, I do ship them too. I can see them finding what they couldn't in other people in each other and when Sherlock showed her his mother's ring, ngl, I really wanted to see it on Joan's finger at some point, even if they're two people who seem like they would be happy to never need something like marriage.
Prompts:
1. friends with benefits turns into real feelings
2. being mistaken for a couple
3. date nights
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 (for background): Paris/Doyle, Paris/Jamie, Sookie/Jackson, Richard/Emily. I'm also fine with Lane/Zach if you want to set it in the later seasons
Friendships/Gen: Jess & Lane, Jess & Paris, Jess & April, Jess & Doula, Jess & Lily, Rory & Lane, Rory & Paris, Rory & April, 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
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. meeting at a music festival (either as guests or being in different bands)
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.
Lorelai & Rory: I really loved this mother/daughter relationship. It wasn't perfect but that makes it all that more interesting. Lorelai did her best to give Rory a good life and prioritize her and it was very clear that Rory appreciated all the sacrifices her mom made for her. For all that the show tries to push the narrative, especially in the Revival, that everyone turns out like their parents, Lorelai and Rory are shown to be very different people and I think it is worth thinking about how that affects them as she got older/did her own thing.
Prompts:
1. in which Rory has more internships abroad or her dream job puts her in more dangerous situations and Lorelai having to deal with that
2. AU where Lorelai didn't leave home with Rory. How their lives and relationship changed as Rory grew up with her grandparents
3. anything set pre-canon (Rory's first Halloween, etc)
4. anything Halloween related - I can't imagine they wouldn't be all over a holiday with candy and costumes (and Stars Hollow would be too)
Luke & Jess: Their relationship is one of my favorites on the show. I like how they were both uncertain and edgy - as much as I love Luke, he did take in Jess reluctantly - and then grew so close. Luke did want what was best for Jess, even when he didn't know how to express it, and Jess really grew to appreciate Luke's support and loyalty. Jess being there and supporting Luke in the Revival was one of the highlights for sure.
Prompts:
1. Jess grows up in Stars Hollow/goes to live with Luke earlier
2. keeping in touch after Jess leaves in s4
3. Jess showing Luke his first book
4. anything surrounding Jess's childhood - maybe Luke takes him trick or treating as a kid
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. AU where Luke finds out about April when she's a toddler and is also a single parent
4. pre-relationship where Lorelai needs/wants a date to a Halloween party (or any party) and she drags Luke
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 Gilmore: Rory is another of my favorite characters. She's kind, smart, and hardworking and she just wants to believe in the best in people while still being able to stand up for herself (as showing with both Paris and Jess). While she does make mistakes and has had her stumbles, I do think she does take responsibility for her actions and does her best to fix them. I was a little let down by the Revival but I've since come around and don't think she's not as far gone as people seem to believe.
Prompts:
1. post Revival, writing a book and figuring out a longer career path. She can find her way back to journalism or try something new - I can see her getting a Masters and teaching at Chilton, since she seemed to connect with the students on her visit
2. what she was doing in between s7 & the Revival - following the campaign, her New Yorker article, etc
3. her relationship with her grandfather and grief over his passing
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. anything set during s3 - the show referred to their regular dates but we didn't see it! So movie nights, going to the bookstore, etc
MCU:
Fandom DNW: Steve/Steve's Endgame ending bashing (feel free to ignore), rehash of CW debate with bias toward one side (I'm Team Cap but I don't want to go over it - I'm fine if it is touched upon but not with one side groveling and the other just being superior/noble), 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: Bruce/Betty, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Sam/Rhodey, Bucky/Natasha/Sam, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Clint/Coulson, Natasha/Rhodey, Natasha/Sharon, Natasha/T'Challa, 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, 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. trying to date while avoiding the media
2. There are rumors about them being a couple, only they're not and now they can't stop thinking about it
3. either they time travel to the past or past!Bucky comes to the future and he flirts with Sam, making present!Bucky jealous
4. spending time in Louisiana
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. going on vacation together
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
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. Peggy got some version of the serum and she is on the plane when it crashes and they both end up in the future
2. Steve is found sooner and he and Peggy adjust to live with the added celebrity of Captain America
3. Instead of dying in CACW, Peggy is deaged. Or she dies and comes back to life
Pepper/Natasha: I liked their interactions in Iron Man 2 and I wish we could've seen more of them. They seemed to get along/like one another, and I think their personalities would work well in the long term too.
Prompts:
1. soulmate AU- maybe Pepper is skeptical and Natasha doesn't believe in them
2. bodyguard AU where Natasha is assigned to protect Pepper
3. date night
Sam Wilson: I loved him right after watching TWS - he's just awesome and snarky and just so good at heart. The way he was so sympathetic and understanding to Steve while not babying him and how he just didn't think twice before helping Natasha and Steve out got to me. I do like how he doesn't put up with anyone's BS and how he really gets people, on a certain level. He has a strong belief system of his own - I mean, he was already anti Accords before Steve had an opinion and wasn't on Team Cap just because he was following someone - and will do what it takes. Which is why he makes a great Captain America.
Prompts:
1. learning to adjust in his new role as Cap
2. pre-canon, with how Sam became a therapist
3. spending time with his sister and nephews
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. stories about him returning the stones
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
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. impromptu feelings revelation, maybe after one of them gets hurt protecting the other
2. first dates, anniversaries, date nights, proposals - anything fluffy and/or romantic
3. artist Steve + Tony as his muse
Smallville:
Fandom DNW: Arrowverse characters/fanon ships, 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' (good with Clark and Lois having twins/being married in Clois fics, but not with him permanently giving up his powers)
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 & Lana, Clark & Lois, Clark & Oliver, Clark & Lex, Clark & Tess, Lois & Lana, Lois & Oliver, Lois & Martha, Oliver & Mia, Oliver & Tess
Clark & Kara: I really liked the idea of these two and I wish we could've seen more of them in s7. Clark having stable Kryptonian family that could teach him about his history (Raya was the only other one that got close - I'm not all that fond of the AI) and culture would've been nice. It'd also be great to see Kara finding her own footing and see where she lands up, outside of Supergirl.
Prompts:
1. Kara and Clark bonding
2. the two of them teaming up to take down a villain
3. AU where Kara's ship opened and then she finds/takes care of Clark herself
Clark/Lois: A canon OTP for me. I really loved other version of Clois but this one is my favorite. I fell for them immediately and I absolutely loved their frenemies to lovers journey- their banter was fun, but I also enjoyed the way they got close immediately, in between Clark being there for Lois after her sister left again (and later with even with some of the guys she dated- he definitely came off as jealous of AC) and Lois stopping Clark from murdering Alicia's killer- they were really strong friends and their journey to realizing how they felt was lovely. They definitely flirted (see: dunk tank scene) and suppressed some feelings over the years, but when they were finally on the same page and got together, it was well worth the wait. He really lets her in and fights for her and she makes him laugh and loves all sides of Clark. In the end, they just love each other for all that they are, flaws and all. Lois getting close to Clark's parents even before they were together (and how they love her) is another point that I appreciated. I like anything set during canon or divergences or post canon (or in that seven year gap) or complete AUs. I only ask that you don't make Lana the villain should you go this route. I am not a fan of Clana but I also think she would be supportive and not derail them.
Prompts:
1. investigating a Halloween related mystery (questionable costume store?)
2. Daily Planet Halloween party
3. Lois remembering one of the things she didn't in canon (what happened in 'Crimson', keeping her memories after Clark turned back time in 'Identity', retaining her memories after 'Pandora') and how that changes things for them
Clark/Lois/Oliver: My OT3. While I love the individual ships in it, I also love the dynamic they have as a trio. We didn't get to see as many scenes with just them as I would've liked but the ones were got were really great. They really balance one another out. Each of them has something in common with one of the others (Clark with Ollie, Clark with Lois, Lois with Ollie) but they're different enough to really make it interesting. I'm good with the three of them getting together at the same time or two of them already being together and including the third.
Prompts:
1. they get to finish their movie night in "hydro"
2. Oliver hangs out with Lois & Clark post Green Arrow reveal and has feelings for both of them
3. Oliver and Lois have gotten back together/never broken up and he notices the chemistry between Clark & Lois. Then he realizes Clark is into him too and makes a plan (after consulting Lois); bonus: he and Clark kissed as a distraction and he wasn't able to stop thinking about it
Clark/Oliver: Another OTP. I didn't expect to fall for them as hard as I did in s6 but I just loved their dynamic. The push and pull and the way they had this ultimate respect for one another was great but then it grew in s8-10. It was tough watching them fight but I did like how they always came back together, and even when they didn't agree, they cared about each other with Clark always believing Oliver was better and Oliver reminding Clark that the Kandorians weren't the only family that he had. One of my favorite moments was when Clark said that he hadn't quit on Oliver Queen in "Echo". One thing I do ask if that if you choose to set it in the later seasons that Lois doesn't get hurt. I am fine with handwaving the Clois romance rather than her having unrequited feelings or them breaking up because I adore her/don't want to see her hurt and I love Clois.
Prompts:
1. Clark goes to a masquerade ball hosted by Queen Industries and strikes it off with a mysterious "stranger" (maybe J'onn is posing as Oliver to practice his shapeshifting, which is why he doesn't think it's Ollie?)
2. one of them gets hurt and the other one seems to not be visiting but it turns out that they're taking the night shift so others can rest/they can protect them when they're most vulnerable
3. Oliver broke a witch's heart (can be Zatanna) and her father curses him to be a genie/trapped in a lamp. Clark buys it.
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/Oliver: I really never expected to like them as much as I did, but their chemistry in s6 was undeniable and both their breakups really got to me. I loved how sexy and playful they were, even when his secret was in between them, and how he fell for her at literally first sight and the way she mistook him for a courier. Most importantly, their friendship in the final seasons was one of the best parts - they really transitioned into supportive bffs perfectly and were a ton of fun.
Prompts:
1. she gives him a second chance in 'Siren' and they have to deal with a long distance relationship
2. Lois realizes she's pregnant after Oliver leaves
3. she has to interview him
4. how they got together in the Luthor world (please ignore the comic canon that has him cheating on her with Chloe)
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. Lois gets roped into participating in a charity auction; Tess bids on/wins.
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. Lana already believed in Tess when they met in s8 and I think they would get along even better 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
Star Trek (AOS):
Other Ships I like (for background): Bones/Christine, Bones/Uhura, Bones/Carol Marcus, Gaila/Uhura, Amanda/Sarek
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, but the media takes it seriously
2. one or both of them is flirting with the other and they just don't realize it (ex: Kirk flirting with Spock and Spock dismissing it as the way Kirk always is)
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
Ted Lasso:
Fandom DNW: Nate bashing/focus on his comeuppance, Sam/Rebecca - there (fine as past relationship) and/or Rebecca using him as a substitute for Ted
Other Ships I like (for background, if necessary): Keeley/Roy/Jamie, Sam/Jamie, Sam/Dani, Sam/Dani/Jamie, any ships that don't break up the requested ones or what else is listed here
Friendships/Gen: any combo of AFC Richmond players, Ted & Beard, Ted & Roy, Ted & Jamie, Roy Beard, Roy & Jamie, Rebecca & Higgins, Rebecca & Keeley, Rebecca & Nora, Rebecca & Sassy
Keeley/Roy: I just loved their relationship on the show. How they came together, and how they communicate and make it over their hurdles and how *into* each other they were. Also so supportive and reassuring. Really adorable. I was very sad about their breakup in s3 but I like to imagine that they can still find their way back to one another. I'm fine with fics set at any point or AUs where they didn't break up at all.
Prompts:
1. Keeley ends up winning Roy in the auction
2. Roy finds a time/way to propose and now they have to plan the wedding
3. taking Phoebe trick or treating
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. celebrating Halloween (or any other holiday) together
3. they miss each other after Ted goes back to Kansas and how they gradually find their way back
Thanks again! :D
